                          HONORING JUNE JAMES

 Mr. THUNE. Mr. President, today I wish to honor June James of 
Hazel, SD. June was chosen as the 2007 Spirit of South Dakota Award 
winner. This impressive award reflects June's vision, courage, and 
strength of character in the development of her family, community, and 
State.
  June is a lifelong South Dakotan who reflects the values and 
traditions that make our State great. She is dedicated

to her family and the Hazel community. She has demonstrated this 
dedication through her involvement in her church, her work as an 
extension coordinator in Codington County and Hamlin County, and her 
service to the local 4H chapter. In addition to all this, June and her 
husband run the family's century farm. Clearly June reflects the 
qualities that make her deserving of this year's 2007 Spirit of South 
Dakota award.
  I am proud to honor June James, along with her friends and family, in 
celebrating her 50 years of selfless dedication and service to the city 
of Hazel.
