Marlene Knutson from Central South Dakota Enhancement Dis- trict met with the board to discuss the future of the library and ap- pling for the Community Develop- ment Block Grant. Purchasing the building on Main Street that currently houses the FSA Office (owned by Hilde- brand and Kujawa) for $200,000 was discussed. Estimated costs for needed renovation were presented for gutter replacement, carpet, se- curity system, wiring upgrades, and replacing the heating and cool- ing system, exceed $100,000. With totals amounting to over $300,000 the commissioners felt that a new structure could be built for approximately the same total. Concrete estimates were pre- sented from Gibson Concrete for new cement at the existing site and from Marty Gardner for demolish- ing the old building north of the li- brary. Discussion followed on where to build a new building and if it was built in the existing location of the current library, where would the li- brary be housed during the con- struction phase. It was suggested to purchase the vacant lots behind the FSA Office from the Kadoka Nursing Home and build there. Parking along Sev- enth Street was a concern and it was questioned if there was ample room to have a parking lot. It was noted that the community members who had attended the meeting were in strong support of keeping the library on Main Street. With the deadline for the grant application approaching fast and so many decisions to make, the com- missioners agreed to not apply for the grant until the October 15, 2012 deadline. A motion carried to not purchase the building from Hildebrand and Kujawa. Providing the driver’s license service was discussed. County Auditor Vicki Wilson stated that from the letters that were sent to adjoining counties re- questing funding assistance for this service, Bennett County re- sponded stating they would not provide any funding. She stated that Haakon County may possibly provide some assistance. It was noted that those who at- tend the public meeting regarding the driver’s license service were very supportive of continuing the service. A motion carried to con- tinue the service. A request was received from an abstract company who would like to come to the courthouse and scan all the Jackson County records in the Register of Deeds office. Fees for obtaining copies of these records have been discussed at previous meetings with no deci- sions made. The documents requested are open records and available to the public. Wilson stated she will contact other counties and present fee in- formation at the August meeting. Emergency Manager Jackie Stil- well said that there will be emer- gency management courses in various locations in the state for the commissioners to attend. Homeland Security’s main con- cern this year is addressing cyber terrorism. The process of submit- ting this grant has changed, and it needs to include dealing with cyber terrorism. Stilwell stated that if a disaster would affect Jackson County a command center would probably be located at the fire hall. She sug- gested replacing the generator at the courthouse with a larger unit, since the current one only operates a portion of the building, and do- nating the old one to the fire hall. If approved, funding through the Homeland Security grant would cover the expenses. The commissioners approved Stilwell to attend the SD State Emergency Managers Conference in September. Highway Superintendent Mitch Olney said that ditches are being mowed. The bridge that leads to the Pat Guptill residence should be com- pleted within the week and the road leading to the Scott Breck res- idence will also be completed. Fol- lowing these projects the road crew with be working east of Long Val- ley. Olney stated that Tom Luke and Sons have completed the gravel screening and crushing contract and will be leaving the area. A gravel contract with Guptill Farms for gravel at 60¢ per ton was approved. Olney presented information from Morris, Inc., of Ft. Pierre on renting a screener. The cost would be $9,000 for 160 hours and was approved. Truck repairs were discussed. One truck is in Philip being re- paired and another truck needs the read end repaired. Upon request from the commis- sioners, Olney contacted Excel Truck and Trailer Repair in Rapid City and said they could start re- pairing the truck on the 14th or 16th of July. The commissioners said to contact Shad’s Towing to have them haul the truck to Rapid City for repairs. Olney stated that Western Com- munications has changed the pro- gramming on the radios to a low band. An estimate on installing re- peaters will be obtained. At this point Commissioners Jim Stilwell and Glen Bennett left the meeting. Discussion was held on commis- sioners hiring family members as employees within the county. States Attorney Dan Van Gorp read the county’s nepotism policy and according to the policy, hiring Rose Bennett, who is the wife of Commissioner Glen Bennett, for the position in the Director of Equalization Office would not be against policy since Brad Stone would be her supervisor. Those addressing the commis- sioners with concerns stated that even though it was not against pol- icy, the commissioners supervise Brad Stone and Rose Bennett’s husband, Glen, is a commissioner and overall it appears bad to the public to hire immediate family members. The commissioners agreed that publically it may not appear as the right decision, but no other quali- fied applicants applied for the posi- tion. A motion carried to hire Rose Bennett at an hourly rate of $9.00 with a beginning date of July 16. Twiss and Denke voted yes, Bonen- berger voted no. A public meeting will be held on Wednesday, July 18 at 7:00 p.m. at courthouse for information regard- ing a land exchange between the forrest service to the nature conser- vancy. Following the land ex- change, these parcels of land will be offered for sale to private landowners. Sheriff Clements said the Deputy Sheriff Ian Patrick has submitted his resignation and the position will be advertised. He also said there are currently two people completing 20 hours of community service, entering data into his computer. The commissioners held a 40 minute executive session for per- sonnel issues, with no action taken. With no other business the meeting adjourned. The next regu- lar meeting will be held on Monday, August 13. County nepotism policy reviewed, nix purchase of FSA building, will continue driver’s license service

Meals forthe Elderly

Read Luke 22:31-34The disciple Peter was a man of great faith and bold

action. But as readers of the New Testament know, hisbrash style sometimes led him to make humiliatingmistakes. More than once, this disciple had to wear the

label of "miserable failure" rather than that of "obedient servant." We can all relate when it comes to falling short of expectations. Obedience to God is a learning process,and failure is a part of our development as humble servants. When we yield to temptation or rebel againstGod's authority, we realize that sin has few rewards, and even those are fleeting. Failure is an excellent learning tool, as Peter could certainly attest. Through trial and error, he dis-covered that humility is required of believers (John 13:5-14); that God's ways are higher than the world'sways (Mark 8:33); and that one should never take his eyes off Jesus (Matt. 14:30). He took each of thoselessons to heart and thereby grew stronger in his faith. Isn't that Romans 8:28 in action? God causedPeter's failures to be put to good use as training material because the disciple was eager to mature andserve. God doesn't reward rebellion or wrongdoing. However, by His grace, He blesses those who choose re-pentance and embrace chastisement as a tool for growth. We would probably all prefer to grow in our faith without ever making a mistake before God's eyes,but we cannot deny that missteps are instructive. Failure teaches believers that it is much wiser andmore profitable to be obedient to the Lord. That's a lesson we all should take to heart.

Learning From Failure

It wasn’t too long ago I had totell a sixty-something woman thather breast biopsy showed cancercells. I explained what the nextsteps would be and that soon Iwould arrange for her to see abreast cancer specialist. I remem-ber looking up from the chart intoher eyes and seeing a strangeglassy stare. She had that “Whatdo I do now?” look. More than ten million Ameri-cans are cancer survivors, but thatnumber doesn’t seem to help muchwhen you are the patient, somedoctor is speaking, and the word“cancer” comes up. In discussionslike this, I’ve learned from experi-ence that after the word “cancer”,all other words and advice arelikely lost, and another visit for op-tions in a day or two is needed.Then it is my job to make availableto her the very best treatment, andto help her believe in it. Yesterday I asked a 95 year-oldpatient and friend of mine who isa breast cancer survivor how it allhappened. She described abouttwenty years earlier discovering amarble sized hard lump in herbreast, being referred to the sur-geon who, in 1989, gave her op-

tions of treatment. The patientthen chose to have a simple mas-tectomy. She said, “I didn’t get ex-cited, I just trusted the doctor. Hetold me we don’t play around withthis stuff, and I believed him.” This wise woman went on to tellme about her relative who also hada breast lump, was afraid, didn’tget help, and didn’t live a year.“Better to just think of it like get-ting a new hip. Get it taken careof, and get on with life.” She said. Trust is the key ingredient tothis story of cancer. First, thephysician must truly deliver thevery best treatment options avail-able anywhere… and then the pa-tient must believe that is true.Like my 95 year-old patient said,“I just trusted the doctor.” Take home message: Caring for cancer patients re-quires a physician to know how tocommunicate well; When caring for any patientphysicians must promise to deliverthe best treatment options avail-able anywhere;Successful treatment depends onthe patient trusting that the physi-cian is delivering on that promise.

Sneaking Vegetables intoFamily Meals

Encouraging children andadults to eat more vegetablesmakes sense since they are low-calorie, high fiber and nutrient-rich foods. People who eatgenerous amounts of vegetables aspart of a healthy diet can reducetheir risk of chronic diseases suchas type 2 diabetes, stroke andsome types of cancers. Children ages 2 to 3 years oldneed 1 cup of vegetables daily, 4 to8 year olds should get 1 to 1-1/2cups and 9 to 13 year olds need 1-1/2 to 2-1/2 cups. Teens and adultsneed 2-1/2 to 3 cups daily. Theseamounts are for individuals get-ting less than 30 minutes of phys-ical activity per day. As youincrease your physical activity, youcan eat more and stay within yourcalorie budget. Regular physicalactivity is important for your over-all health and fitness. Eating a variety of vegetables isas important as quantity. No sin-gle vegetable provides all the nu-trients you need to be healthy.Include vegetables throughoutyour day for snacks, side dishes orin your main meal. All vegetables(including beans) count towardyour daily recommended amount,whether they’re fresh, frozen, orcanned. Think color. Eating vegetables of

different colors such as blackbeans, green spinach, and orangesweet potatoes give your body awide range of nutrients such asfiber, folate, and vitamin A, just toname a few. As you know, just because wetell kids that vegetables are goodfor them, doesn’t mean that they’llwant to eat more of them. Try a va-riety of serving strategies tobroaden your family’s comfort zonefor eating vegetables. One strategymay be to hide vegetables in foodsyour family is willing to eat. Tryadding vegetable toppings likebroccoli and spinach to pizza. Stirpeas and corn into a casserole ormix shredded zucchini into meat-loaf or muffins. Have family mem-bers help prepare skewers ofvegetables such as tomatoes,mushrooms and green peppers forkabobs, as part of a barbequemeal. MyPlate (http://www.choosemy-plate.gov/) developed by the USDAsupports the idea of increasingvegetable and fruit consumptionby suggesting that we fill half ourplate with colorful fruit and veg-etables at every meal.

Walter Van Tassel________________

Walter Van Tassel, age 88 ofMidland, died Thursday, July 12,2012, at the Hans P. Peterson Me-morial Hospital in Philip.

Walter Harlan Van Tassel wasborn February 16, 1924, in Ot-tumwa, Iowa, to Walter E. andRuth Van Tassel. Walter (“Junior”to many) moved to the Midlandarea in 1929 where he lived withhis grandparents, William andPearl Lee, on the 1912 homesteadranch north of Ottumwa and wasraised like brothers and sister withhis aunt, Fern (Lee) Konst, and hisuncle, Bill Lee.

Walter was educated at the Mat-tison Country School where hegraduated the eighth grade.

Walter continued to farm andranch with the Lees and becamevery mechanically inclined, work-ing on the farm equipment, keep-ing it moving during the war years(baling wire and a good set of plierswill fix anything).

In 1951, a custom farming crewfrom Nebraska made its way intothe Ottumwa (S.D.) area. JoannWalker, who was driving truck forher parents, was invited to a birth-day party for Bill Lee, where shemet Walter. There were severaltrips to Nebraska over the nextyear that culminated in their mar-riage in 1952. Walter continued towork the ranch with the Lee’s andstarted his family. Walter and BillLee established the Golden WillowRanch on the original homestead,which raised registered BlackAngus cattle, certified seed, farm-ing and custom grain cleaning.

Over the years, Walter workedhard to improve the quality of seedproduced by Golden Willow Seeds.During this time period, Walterwas recognized with severalawards, including the 1991 SouthDakota Certified Seed Grower ofthe year. In 1995, Walter andJoann were invited to participateas ambassadors for People to Peo-ple mission and traveled to China.They also made trips to various lo-

cations in the United States and toMexico. It was during this periodthat Walter got to meet and shakehands with former president,Jimmy Carter.

All who knew Walter had nodoubt of his honesty and workethic. Seldom was work being donethat he was not involved in. He en-joyed talking with people who cameto visit or have grain cleaned. Ifyou were around him for anyamount of time, you got the benefitof his story telling and his ever-pre-sent big smile and a sparkle in hiseyes. He also enjoyed working onall machinery, from the simplest tothe most complex, and could getjust about anything back up andrunning. Unfortunately, he nevergot around to building his “flyingmachine” but got to fly in an air-plane with son Jim and finally gotto ride in a helicopter last summer.One of his favorite pastimes wasfishing. He always enjoyed hunt-ing, playing the violin and accor-dion, and tinkering.

Grateful for having shared hislife are his wife of 59 years, JoannVan Tassel; four children, StevenVan Tassel (Susan) of Midland,Sandra Heaton (Dennis) of Mid-land, Linda Clavel (Ted) ofMankato, Minn., and James VanTassel (Brenda) of Midland; eightgrandchildren, Terri (Heaton)Staben, Gina (Heaton) Steinlicht,Jesse Heaton, Brady Clavel, Krista(Clavel) Brown, Michelle Van Tas-sel, LaRae Van Tassel and RyanVan Tassel; five great-grandchil-dren Michael Steinlicht, MeganSteinlicht, Erika Steinlicht, LeahStaben and Zoe Staben; a half-brother, Donald VanTassel of Ot-tumwa, Iowa; a half-sister, EuniceValentine (Phil) of Ottumwa, Iowa;a special aunt, Fern Konst; and aspecial uncle, William “Billy” Lee.

Walter was preceded in death byhis parents, Walter and Ruth(Caster) Van Tassel; a half-brother,Vern Van Tassel; and his maternalgrandparents, William and PearlLee.

high blood pressure, and those witha history of alcohol abuse. Peoplewith a severe or unusual headacheshould see their physician.

Seven mosquito pools have alsotested positive for WNV so far thisseason in South Dakota, two inBrookings County and five inBrown County. All of the positivepools were Culex tarsalis, the pri-mary carrier of the virus in SouthDakota.

Find WNV prevention informa-tion on the Web athttp://westnile.sd.gov. Informationis also available from the SDSUCooperative Extension Service athttp://www.sdstate.edu/sdces/is-sues/wnv.cfm

A Beadle County blood donor isSouth Dakota’s first human WestNile virus (WNV) detection of theseason, the state health depart-ment reported today. The individ-ual was in the 20 to 29 age group.

“This individual was not ill butwas detected through the routinescreening of blood donations thattakes place to make sure the bloodsupply is safe,” said Dr. LonKightlinger, State Epidemiologistfor the department. “It’s a clear in-dication that mosquito-to-humanWNV transmission is taking placeand people need to protect them-selves.”

To prevent mosquito bites andreduce the risk of WNV, the depart-ment recommends the followingpersonal precautions:` •Use mosquito repellents(DEET, picaridin, oil of lemon eu-calyptus, or IR3535) and limit ex-posure by covering up.

•Limit time outdoors from duskto midnight when Culex mosqui-toes are most active.

•Get rid of standing water thatgives mosquitoes a place to breed.

•Support local mosquito controlefforts.

Personal precautions are espe-cially important for those at highrisk for WNV – people over 50,pregnant women, transplant pa-tients, individuals with diabetes or

I picked my first vine-ripenedhome-raised tomato this year onJuly 9. I ate it that day as well,and it was excellent. This is a fewdays earlier than last year when Ihad to wait until July 13. July 4 ismy aim for next year, but that maybe pushing it a bit. Oh, I’m sorry. Ididn’t mean to lord it over you ifyou haven’t had any home-raisedtomatoes yet this year. Oh, well,maybe I did a little. Couldn’t helpmyself. Good tomatoes, though, are oneof the simple pleasures of life.When you’ve been eating the store-bought, certainly-not-vine-ripenedones for lo these many winter andspring months, it’s hard not to bedelighted when you finally get areally tasty one. Now if my cucum-bers would just hurry up and seton, that would be great. In the meanwhile, I’ll have tosearch around for other simplepleasure to keep life interesting.Actually, I found two last week inthe form of new computer games.Both are hard enough to keep youworking but not so impossible thatthey drive you crazy. One takes mearound the world in 80 days, andthe other has me breezing fromEngland back and forth to variousexotic places. Both are fun. Several times lately, too, I’vebeen delighted by sunrises or sun-sets. The other morning, there wasa whole sky-full of pink fluffyclouds. I just sat spellbound andwatched God’s display until thesun came up enough to make meget up and grudgingly go inside. Asyou know, God is an artist withlight and can paint amazingscenes. Sometimes after a thun-derstorm, the sun peaks out underthe departing clouds and makeseverything golden and really quitelovely. The wet prairie gives off afresh scent about then to enhancethe experience. The smells of sage,and grass and soil all combine tomake a guy breathe deeply and re-joice. This morning, I was enchantedwith the eastern view just beforesunrise. There were the bright“morning stars” of Venus andJupiter with the tiny remnant ofthe crescent moon parked right be-tween them. If that weren’tenough, Capella was glowing justto the north of them, and littleAldebaran in Taurus was keepingclose company with Venus. I wassad to see the sky lighten so muchthat these diamonds of light fadedout on me. A good book is also a treat. Theother evening I was reading a bookon my small laptop computer while

eating at a local restaurant. It waswritten by a humorist who occa-sionally comes up with somethingreally funny. There I was practi-cally laughing out loud and hopingeveryone around didn’t notice andwonder if I’d just gone nuts orwhat. A good mystery is fine tooand lots of other stuff. I’m not a particularly social per-son so I don’t belong to any clubsor anything like that. It is occa-sionally fun, though, to get outamongst them and jabber aboutthis and that. It tends to give youa boost out of your normal routine,which can be refreshing. Sometimes, too, interactingwith family can be rewarding.When I’m helping care for our son,Chance, he often leans into me andputs his head down on my shoul-der. This simple action makes myheart expand quite a bit, and I’mnever in any hurry to have him sitback down. Kids can try your pa-tience from time to time, but theycan also touch your heart. Another delight is finding agreat new piano arrangement of ahymn or song you already like. I’vefound several like that so far thisyear, and they often give me a cer-tain buzz way down in my bellythat tells me this composition is re-ally good. Usually these are diffi-cult pieces that take some workbefore others can enjoy hearingyou play them, but they are wellworth the effort. This morning after church, Ibragged to Betty that my tomatoeswere already producing. Shepointed to her kitchen cupboardwhere there were two fresh cucum-bers she’d just picked off a pottedvine on her front porch. I almostgrabbed them and ran, but I wasable to restrain myself. In otherwords, Betty turned it on me andtraded one bit of bragging for an-other. She told me I cheated bybuying my tomato plants alreadyflowering back in May, which isn’ttoo far from the truth. That’s okay.She must have cheated a littlewith the cucumbers too. Nevermind, I’ll have cucumbers beforelong, and meanwhile I have threemore ripe tomatoes in the refriger-ator that I’m about to enjoy with abit of salt, a nice chunk of meat,and maybe a bun. I even havesome excellent cherries in the re-frigerator, and a bit of fresh-apri-cot cobbler might go nicely with ascoop of ice cream for dessert. You know, it appears that life isjust full of simple pleasures, andall we have to do is look aroundand find them. Keep looking.

Simple Pleasures

Lookin’ Aroundby Syd Iwan

Chris and Terry Baldwin andgirls were visited last week byChris’ sister, Susan Gepner, fromConnecticut. Her husband, Gary,was with her as was her daughter,Dorothy. They came last Sunday,and, on Tuesday, the Baldwins andGepners toured the Black Hills.They went to Wind Cave, Mt.Rushmore, and the Needles andeven stopped for ice cream in HillCity. On Friday, everyone went toSioux Falls. The Gepners were ontheir way to visit Gary’s sister inMinneapolis, and the Baldwinstook in the South Dakota bee-keep-ers’ annual summer meeting. Ofparticular interest were somespeakers from USDA who spoke onchemicals to use on the mites thatinfect bees. Chris himself uses, in-stead of chemicals, a survival of thefittest approach. He sees whichhives have natural immunity anduses those to increase his numbers.This isn’t the normal approach, butworks for Chris although he is oneof the few beekeepers that does it.The Baldwins skipped a banquetone evening in favor of visiting thefalls on the river in town. The riverisn’t very wild this year, but thepark and falls were enjoyable any-way. Michelle Mansfield was in RapidCity last week attending someclasses involved with her teachingduties at Kadoka. Son Tyrel stayedhome with his dad, Aaron, and alsospent a night with grandparents,Jim and Fayola. At home, theMansfields helped Bonenbergersand Magelkys work some cattle. Bunny Green and Wally Wellstook their dogs to Kadoka last weekfor rabies shots. Another day,Bunny, Betty Kusick and CheryllWells journeyed to Kadoka for gro-ceries. Cheryll came back fromhelping her folks to help Wally cel-ebrate his birthday on the 18th,but she will have to go back beforelong. Cella Baldwin and her cousinwere walking by one day andstopped to visit Bunny on her porchfor an hour or so. Bunny said thegrasshoppers have now prettymuch decimated the plants she hadin pots on the porch. Mike and Marlene Perault arecurrently entertaining son John’stwo youngest kids, Jackson andKylie, from Kansas. They expect tobe here about ten days or so andenjoy helping around the place, try-ing their hands at driving tractors,doing chores, etc. Daughter Coleenalso came by for a couple of days.She and her family were on theirway to camp in the Black Hills.Since they had their trailer withthem, they just parked it in theyard and slept in it. They havethree children. As a result, Per-aults have seen five of their twelvegrandkids in the last week. Mar-lene mentioned that it was alsovery hot six years ago when theirdaughter, Laney, got married. Itwas 106 on her wedding day but117 the next day when they openedgifts at Mike and Marlene’s. Dave and Jean Calhoon are hav-ing grasshopper problems with

their garden. As a result, theypicked all their beets and broughtthem to give away at church onSunday. Dave said they are some-what small but really good. Otherthan that, haying is the main activ-ity at the Calhoon’s. Dave said wewere spoiled by last year’s abun-dant hay crop, but there is some toget this year as well to add to theleftovers from last year. Chad and Francie Davis werevisited by their friend, Alicia, andfamily this last week. She has fourkids about the same age as theDavis kids. Alicia is now from Illi-nois, but is originally from UnionCenter and attended SunshineBible Academy with Chad andFrancie. Activities included playingin the trickle that is left of theWhite River. This involves quite abit of mud and sand. On Thursdayevening, Francie and boys rodehorses across the river and over toBob Fortune’s. They stayed thereovernight and helped work someheifers on Friday. Russ and Gay Spinsby had bothof their boys home this weekend.Marty and his son, Charlie, camefrom Dell Rapids on Friday and leftearly on Sunday. Casey had been inPierre all week attending someclasses having to do with his policework in Huron. He had brought hiscamper along to stay in. His wife,Janet, and kids came to Pierre thisweekend, and the whole familycame to Russ and Gay’s on Satur-day for a cookout and to help Martyand Charlie celebrate their birth-days which are both in the near fu-ture. Bob, Diane and Matt Borkalso came over for the cookout.Since Charlie is five and Casey’schildren, Xavier and Yesenia, areeight and nine, there was a lot ofactivity. After they all left, Gay saidit was awfully quiet. The wholefamily hadn’t been together forquite a spell so it was nice to seeeach other again. Over the 4th, theSpinsbys were visited by Todd Mar-tin of Beresford and his son, Stone,who often comes to hunt and wereafter prairie dogs this time around.Gay also said they’ve wrapped uptheir wheat harvest for this yearwhich is always a relief. Betty Kusick drove to Winnerone day last week with Loretta andLawrence Schreiber. They went tovisit Loretta’s daughter-in-law andgrandson. Betty said they hadn’tbeen there in a while so it was niceto catch up on things despite Win-ner being one of the hotter areas onearth. Another day, Betty caught aride with Arla Patterson fromKadoka to Wanblee since Arla wasworking at the post office therethat day. She then accompaniedJoe Livermont to a doctors appoint-ment in Pine Ridge before catchingthe return trip with Arla. Betty al-ready has fresh cucumbers fromsome pots she has on her porch.She said her son, Kenny, was a bitmad at her since his cucumbers inKadoka haven’t quite set on yet.Her tomatoes, also in pots, will stillbe a few days before they have ripeones.

This community was totallyshocked Monday to hear the newsof the loss of Jack Brunsch, 60.What a great friend and neighbor!Jack called Norris home all his lifeand we are very proud of that. Nor-ris followed his name on a lot ofrodeo programs, too. A very largecrowd of family, friends and neigh-bors gathered in both Kadoka andMartin to pay their last respects toone great cowboy. He always hadtime to visit and was sincerely in-terested in you. He was never toobusy to care. Jack was a great “Mr.Mom”, too. Alan and Misty and therest of the Brunsch family, you canbe assured of all our love and sup-port. We pray that the dear Lordwill comfort your sad hearts at thistime of sudden loss. We will allmiss Jack, but he will be in ourhearts forever. May God bless thememory of Jack Brunsch. Sunday dinner guests of theJason Burmas were James andMarjorie Letellier.

Drought ResourcesOne of the challenges that every

farmer and rancher (and Exten-sion worker) dreads seems to besetting in on much of SouthDakota, as well as much of thecountry, drought. About every dayrecently, calls come in to the Win-ner Regional Extension Center,and I’m sure others, regardingquestions about salvaging cornfields for livestock feed and otherdrought-related issues. Fortu-nately, most producers seem to beaware of potential nitrate poison-ing, but need clarification on anumber of details.

When drought strikes, there isa long list of potential concernsthat producers have questionsabout, and may not have dealtwith for a while. SDSU Extensionhas geared up for drought re-sponse several times in the past,and is actively working on updat-ing existing resources and makingthem available.

One avenue of making re-sources available is the new teach-ing platform for SDSU Extension,iGrow, which can be found at:http://igrow.org/. Beginning onJuly 16, 2012, a new “community”will be created under the Livestockand Agronomy tabs, labeled“Drought”. You can look there for anumber of resources which will behelpful. Regular news releaseshave and will continue to appearin South Dakota newspapers, tar-geting specific topics.

For detailed information on spe-cific topics, SDSU Extension reliesheavily on publications and fact-sheets, virtually all of which arepublished online, as well as avail-able in print form. To obtainprinted copies, visit your closestRegional Extension Center, or theymay be available at most CountyExtension Offices. If you have In-ternet access, you can also obtainthem via http://igrow.org/, and/orby visiting the “SDSU ExtensionResources” website: http://www.sd-state.edu/sdces/store/index.cfm.Type one or more keywords in the“Search Publications” box to nar-row your search, and try a varietyof keywords if you’re not findingwhat you want.

Sometimes it is more helpful totalk to a live person in getting helpand the answer to your questions.The re-organization of SDSU Ex-tension has now located the ex-pertise of SDSU in eight regionalcenters. One of these centers maybe located in your community, andif so, give them a visit. The hiringprocess to staff the centers withexperts in a variety of specialtiesis progressing, but not complete. Ifthe person you need to consult isn’tat the center you visit, or isn’t in,someone who can help is only aphone call away. The eight Re-gional Extension Centers and thetelephone numbers to reach themare: Aberdeen Regional Center -605.626.2870; Lemmon RegionalCenter - 605.374.4177; MitchellRegional Center - 605.995.7378;Pierre Regional Center -605.773.8120, Rapid City RegionalCenter - 605.394.1722; Sioux FallsRegional Center - 605.782.3290;Watertown Regional Center -605/882.5140; Winner RegionalCenter - 605.842.1267.

Although the bulk of whatSDSU Extension provides is infor-mation, we also offer some serv-ices, such as testing livestockwater for Total Dissolved Solids(TDS), and Quick Nitrate Tests forForages. Each Regional ExtensionCenter and some County Exten-sion Offices have meters and testkits to perform these services.

Capitol Ave., Pierre, SD, 57501.Emailed comments are being ac-cepted at [email protected].

The language of the emergencyand proposed permanent rules maybe found at the Department of Pub-lic Safety website www.dps.sd.gov.Information on the rules hearingalso will be available at that site.

Vehicle manufacturers’ groupsdo not support the sale of 85 octanegasoline and most engines are de-signed to run on a minimum of 87octane gasoline.

The 85 octane issue is unrelatedto E-85, a reference to a motor fuelthat contains a blend of gasolineand up to 85 percent ethanol.

Emergency rules allowing thesale of 85 octane gasoline withmandatory cautionary labels wentinto effect July 9 and a publichearing is scheduled July 20 onpermanent rules governing the saleof that product.

At the direction of Gov. DennisDaugaard, the State Department ofPublic Safety implemented theemergency rules after a review ofstate laws by the Office of Weightsand measures within DPS con-cluded that the sale of 85 octanegasoline is illegal anywhere inSouth Dakota. The Governor alsorequested and received an officialopinion from Atty. Gen. MartyJackley confirming the Office ofWeights and Measures conclusion.

Because of concerns raised bypetroleum marketers about possi-ble fuel shortages, the emergencyrules were written to allow sale of85 octane temporarily while thepublic has an opportunity to com-ment on permanent rules that clar-ify the status of 85 octane in thestate. Several Rocky Mountainstates allow the sale of 85 octanefuel, and it has been a commonlysold product in western SouthDakota for many years.

Until permanent rules havebeen finalized, those in the indus-

The Certified Ready Sites Programis a tool that will set our regionapart by providing accurate and ex-pedient information to companiesconsidering relocation to our area,”said Erica Beck, executive directorLincoln and Minnehaha CountyEconomic Development Associa-tions. “The City of Canton is ag-gressively seeking additionalrecruitment opportunities and tookadvantage of this new GOED pro-gram to set themselves apart andshowcase the initiative they haveas a community to accomplishgreat things.”

“Having Canton’s IndustrialPark become the State of SouthDakota’s first certified ready site isan honor accomplished onlythrough a strong partnership be-tween the Governor’s Office of Eco-nomic Development, the City ofCanton, Canton Economic Develop-ment Corporation, and LincolnCounty Economic Development As-sociation,” said Canton MayorChuck Smith. “Having a CertifiedReady Site will help everyone toknow what we already know aboutCanton, it is a great place to dobusiness and a great place to live.”

Located on the west side of Can-ton along US highway 18, the Can-ton Industrial Park covers nearly28 acres and is certified and zonedheavy industrial, light industrial,research and development/busi-ness services and rural businesspark. The park already housesAdam’s Thermal and Terex.

The South Dakota CertifiedReady Sites Program is operatedunder the supervision of the Gover-nor’s Office of Economic Develop-ment (GOED) for the purpose ofproviding consistent informationon sites available throughout thestate. For more information visitsdreadytopartner.com

The Canton Industrial Park hasbeen approved as the first SouthDakota certified ready site, an-nounced Pat Costello, commis-sioner Governor’s Office ofEconomic Development.

The South Dakota CertifiedReady Sites Program is an eco-nomic development tool availableto all cities and counties in SouthDakota for the purpose of promot-ing development-ready commercialand industrial sites.

“The Certified Ready Sites Pro-gram provides prospective buyerswith well-packaged informationmaking it easier to select and de-velop a site,” said Costello. “I wouldlike to congratulate Canton for tak-ing advantage of this program andcommend them for their continuedfocus on economic development.”

The program launched earlierthis year and established semi-an-nual application deadlines for May1st and November 1st. Althoughonly political subdivisions of thestate: counties, cities, townships,planning districts and business im-provement districts were eligible toapply in May, economic develop-ment groups are eligible to applyfor the November round.

“Having one centralized andprofessional information source forprospects to learn about the Can-ton Industrial Park is invaluable,”said City Manager Amy Nelson. “Iencourage all communities andcounties in the state to collaboratewith their local economic develop-ment groups and apply for this sta-tus.”

“The communities within Lin-coln and Minnehaha Counties trulydemonstrate a pro-business atti-tude and aggressiveness towardensuring that companies are pro-vided the information they need.

ter communicate how their check-off dollars are being utilized to pro-mote beef and countermisinformation in the social as wellas mainstream media.”

Frederick says some commentssubmitted by respondents also in-dicate that there are still miscon-ceptions on how beef checkoffdollars can be legally spent underthe rules of the Beef Promotion andResearch Act and Order of 1986.“We obviously need better producercommunication to counter thosemisconceptions,” says Frederick.

In addition, he says SDBIC willlook at including line-by-linespecifics on budget expenditures,as well as minutes from businessmeetings, on its web site. Cur-rently, SDBIC mails out a printedshort version of its annual report.“Providing line-by-line expenditureinformation in a printed financialreport and distributing it by mail toproducers would be cost-prohibi-tive,” says Frederick. “But we willbe looking at the possibility of post-ing this detailed information onlineas a way to increase transparency.”

Producers responding repre-sented quite accurately the numberof beef producers in the five regionsof the state, says Frederick. Ap-proximately 97% of the respon-dents were beef producers, while2% were dairy producers. Seventy-eight percent of respondents indi-cated they were over the age of 50.

“We know the numbers of re-spondents was small, but wewanted to give producers an oppor-tunity to provide their input intothe Beef Checkoff Program andhow their dollars are being uti-lized,” says Frederick. “While thesmall response does not give us astatistically accurate indication ofthe views of all those who con-tribute to the beef checkoff inSouth Dakota, it does provide uswith a baseline from which towork. Our plan is to conduct an-other survey in two to three yearsand see if we have been able to im-prove in areas of concern.”

The number of cattle producersresponding to a survey put out bythe South Dakota Beef IndustryCouncil (SDBIC) may not havebeen as large as desired, but the at-tention given to their responseswas considerable according toSDBIC’s Executive Director RonFrederick.

Close to 400 producers com-pleted a Producer Input Surveysent by mail or available onlineover the first five months of 2012.While that was only a fraction ofthe 15,000 surveys distributed tobeef and dairy producers who payinto the $1 Beef Checkoff Program,Frederick says the results providea glimpse of how SDBIC’s expendi-tures of the state’s portion of the $1checkoff, and communication of itsefforts, are perceived by the state’sproducers. Results of the surveywere discussed by directors at theSDBIC quarterly meeting June 28in Ft. Pierre.

“When asked whether or notthey had a good understanding ofthe Beef Checkoff Program, 63%said ‘Yes’ and 37% said ‘No’ or ‘Notsure,’” explained Frederick. “Whenasked if they believed the BeefCheckoff was working effectivelyfor them, 44% said ‘Yes’ and 56%said ‘No’ or ‘Not Sure.’” Fifty sevenpercent said they approved of theBeef Checkoff Program, while 43%answered ‘No’ or ‘Not sure’ whenasked that question.

“While the number of respon-dents was small,” says Frederick,“these results indicate we havework yet to do in addressing pro-ducer concerns about the effective-ness of the checkoff. “We werehappy to see that the majority ofthose responding approve of theBeef Checkoff Program. However,the SDBIC directors understandthat we need to continue workingto ensure that SDBIC receives thegreatest return on investmentwhen administering the checkoffand in developing and implement-ing programs.

"Hay or other forage should beprovided to them prior to turn-out.Producers should only allow thelivestock access for a portion of theday to begin with," he said. "This isrecommended until the livestockbecome acclimated to the higher ni-trate levels."

He adds that if the forages areharvested for silage, cutting heightsshould be adjusted higher, leavingthe lower stalk unharvested.

Although the costs involved withmechanically harvesting high ni-trate forages are significant, Krantzsays there are livestock safety ben-efits to this approach.

"The ensiling process reduces ni-trate levels making them muchsafer for consumption," he said."However, it is not recommended togreen chop these forages and letthem heat overnight as this processfavors the formation of nitritewhich is even more toxic that ni-trate."

Oats, corn and barley consis-tently have been documented ascrops with the most potential to ac-count for nitrate poisoning in live-stock; however, Krantz says thatannual forages such as sudangrass,sorghum-sudan hybrids and milletscan be dangerous as well.

"Weather conditions may inten-sify the accumulation of nitrates inforages. Plants that survive an ex-tended period of drought will expe-rience increased levels of nitratesimmediately following a rain as theparts of the plants begin to resumetheir growth. The nitrate levels willcontinue to increase for severaldays afterward," he said.

Quick nitrate testing is available at all SDSU

Extension Regional CentersSuspected crops may be brought toSDSU Extension Regional Centersfor a preliminary test that onlytakes a few minutes. Althoughexact nitrate levels cannot be deter-mined through this procedure, theirpresence can be determined. If andwhen nitrates are verified in theplant tissue, samples are then sentto a lab for further testing.

"If nitrates are not found, pro-ducers can be confident that the for-age is safe for their livestock,"Krantz said.

Water may be an additionalsource of nitrates for livestockwhether consumption is from adugout, dam or well. Krantz recom-mends producers obtain a livestocksuitability analysis for watersources.

"This is especially important inareas where nitrate poisoning po-tential from crops is a concern,"Krantz said.

Initial water tests for total dis-solved solids can be accomplishedat SDSU Extension Regional Cen-ters. Depending on the levelsrecorded, further sampling at a labmay be required.

Managing a cattle herd fordrought conditions

Drought conditions continue tochallenge the management skills oflivestock producers. Utilizing awell-planned, systematic approachto dealing with drought conditionscan provide long-term benefits.

"Drought conditions may requirecattlemen to adjust their systems tomeet the limitations demanded bythe lack of grazing resources or har-vested forages," said Krantz.

He says that culling the herd isone option that can be emotional,although inevitable. However, anyherd reduction should be part of asystematic approach to dealingwith meeting livestock needs:

Early Weaning: According tothe University of Nebraska, foreach 2.5 days that a calf is weaned,there is one more day of forageavailable for grazing. Calf removalis an accepted management proce-dure when calves reach 45 days ofage. Weaning at this age whengrass is restricted not only providesmore grazing for the dry cow, it en-courages her to cycle and rebreedunder conditions that may prohibitthat when nursing a calf. Weaningat an age of three to five monthswill not provide the reproductivebenefits noted above but it will re-sult in the same effect as reducingyour cowherd by one third. In anycase, early weaning should be givenserious consideration prior to mak-ing a decision to begin the cullingprocess.

Culling Considerations:When possible, culling decisionsshould be made after the cow hashad an opportunity to become preg-nant. After cows are confirmedpregnant, the process should beginwith cows that may have been cull-candidates regardless of thedrought conditions: non-pregnant,physically impaired, poor producingand those with marginal disposi-tions should head this list.

Krantz says the decision to cullproducing cows or replacementheifers has no universal answer.From a feed perspective, the re-placement heifer will consume less;however, what they do consumeneeds to be of higher quality.

"Since heifer calves will not pro-vide the operation with income forsome time, justification for retain-ing them needs to be weighedagainst the merits of maintainingthe producing core herd," Krantzsaid.

Extreme heat and varying de-grees of soil moisture currently im-pact an expanding area of ourcountry, says Jim Krantz, SDSUExtension Cow/Calf Field Special-ist.

"For many South Dakota cropand livestock producers, these con-ditions that prevailed last year inthe southern plains have migratednorthward, now threatening liveli-hoods earned from both sectors,"Krantz said.

He adds that adapting to theseconditions has challenged genera-tions of farmers and ranchers andforced them to place renewed em-phasis on their management skillsin times of drought.

"As they do so, a systematic ap-proach may provide the means toovercome or minimize the impact ofMother Nature," he said.

On the crop side, Krantz saysthat adequate moisture for most ofthe state provided almost ideal con-ditions for field preparation, plant-ing and weed control. However,many areas are witnessing ex-tremely dry conditions in the midstof a monster heat wave.

"Agronomic practices were partof a well-planned crop strategythat, until now, provided row cropsand grains with the framework forrewarding yields. In drought-stricken areas, those yields nowmay be measured by tons of forage,not bushels of grain," Krantz said.

Avoid nitrate poisoning withthese tips

If this scenario becomes a reality,there are some considerationsKrantz says producers need tothink about as they plan their for-age options:

•Well fertilized crops, understress condition caused by drought,have higher nitrate levels than non-fertilized crops.

•Plant parts closest to theground contain the highest concen-trations of nitrates. Most are in thelower third of the plant.

With this in mind, Krantz saysstrip grazing is not recommended.

"This practice forces the animalsto eat all of the plants. Overgrazingis not recommended for the samereason, as cattle will be forced toconsume plant parts with thegreater levels of nitrates," he said.

If grazing is the preferred choicefor utilization of these high nitratecrops, Krantz says livestock shouldnever be allowed access if they areespecially hungry.

poor hay crops reported in manyareas, and reports of dry conditionsin much of the state, Fanning saysforage crops may be some of thebetter double-cropping options.

"Anything that can be grazedwill reduce input costs, particularlyif the land is already fenced andwater is accessible," Fanning said."If raising crops for forage, beaware of the potential for nitrateand/or prussic acid poisoning."

He encourages growers to referto the following publications whichdiscuss the dangers of increased ni-trates in forages; Nitrate Poisoningof Livestock, Forage Nitrate Poi-soning, Prussic Acid Poisoning andPrussic Acid Poisoning of Live-stock. More information can also befound in Utilizing Annual Crops forForage in Western South Dakotaand Producing Annual and Alter-native Crops for Forage. The linksto these publications can be found,with the electronic copy of thisnews release, on iGrow.org.

Cover crops are another option

If adequate soil moisture isavailable, the early wheat harvestthat is expected may prompt someproducers to simply plant covercrops, which can have multiplebenefits, says Fanning, who en-courages growers to do their re-search.

An extensive list of cover crops,their specific characteristics; in-cluding what category they fall intois listed in a table assembled by theNatural Resources ConservationServicecan be found atiGrow.org/agronomy/wheat.

2012 will go down in the recordbooks as one of the earliest winterwheat harvests in history. To takeadvantage of the early harvestSouth Dakota farmers may con-sider double cropping, says BobFanning, SDSU Extension PlantPathology Field Specialist.

"Two crops in one year maysound tempting, and for some cropspecies is possible, but before doingso, producers should consider pos-sible crops and compare the poten-tial benefits with the drawbacks,"Fanning said.

He encourages growers to refer-ence the Emergency Late-seedingOptions guide for a quick referenceof choices that might work for dou-ble-cropping.

The options presented in thefactsheet assume adequate soilmoisture is present to germinatethe seed at the time of planting.Fanning says growers should cross-reference crops with prior herbicideusage to ensure they are compati-ble with possible herbicide carry-over.

"The market prices for manyagricultural commodities are good,but some of the deterrents to dou-ble-cropping include additionalinput costs, heavy dependence onsummer rains, increased workloadand the possible negative effects onfuture crops," Fanning said.

He adds that a second crop,grown in the same year cannot beinsured at this time in SouthDakota.

"Producers planting these cropsfor grain will be self-insured," hesaid.

Forages are better double-cropping options

Expert discusses double

cropping after wheat

Food safety basics can keep foodpoisoning from spoiling summerpicnics and cookouts, says a statehealth official. “Hot weather is a food safetychallenge because bacteria in foodmultiply faster anytime the tem-perature is above 40⁰F,” said ClarkHepper, health protection adminis-trator for the Department ofHealth. Hepper recommended the fol-lowing steps for cooking outdoormeals: •Start with hand-washing. Usemoist disposable towelettes if soapand water aren’t available. •Keep raw foods separate fromcooked foods. If a plate held rawmeat, don’t use it again withoutfirst washing it in hot, soapy waterMarinate foods in the refrigerator,not on the counter or outdoors, anddon't reuse marinade. For use as asauce, set some aside before addingfood. •Use a food thermometer tomake sure food is cooked thor-oughly. Cook hamburgers to 160ºFand chicken to at least 165ºF.Keep hot food hot (140ºF or above)and cold food cold (40ºF or below). •Refrigerate or freeze leftoverfood promptly. Don’t let perishablefoods sit out longer than two hours;no more than one if temperaturesare above 90⁰F. Food-borne illnesses often go un-reported so the actual number ofcases is likely higher than what’sreported. In 2011, South Dakota re-ported nearly 500 cases of the food-borne illnesses E. coli, Salmonella,and Campylobacter. To date in2012, more than 200 cases of suchillnesses have been reported, aswell as nearly 100 cases of clostrid-ium perfringens associated withimproperly cooked and stored meatat a special event. These diseasescan also be spread directly by farmanimals and their manure. Symptoms of food-borne illnesscan include mild or severe diar-rhea, fever, vomiting and abdomi-nal pain. Some people may needfluids to prevent dehydration butmost will recover at home withoutmedication.
