money was designated to be usedtoward employees and each facilitycould designate how they wantedto apply the money. However, theyneeded to send a letter to socialservices letting them know how themoney was used.

“This was a one-time bonus toour employees and it was dividedby the longevity of the employeesworking here,” Sanftner said. Shesaid it also included the collegesummer workers who will be re-turning this summer.

Read Luke 24:36-49Salvation occurs when we trust Jesus as our Savior-

-He forgives us, transforms us, and sees us as right-eous. In that moment, we are redeemed, and though wecontinue to struggle with sin, it is a defeated foe. Thenas time goes on, our service, gifts, and love for Him

should naturally become greater. Unfortunately, a lot of Christians sit in church week after week, going through the motions yet lackingpassion and failing to grow. How is such a thing possible? Tragically, many believers are unaware of theessential ministry of God's Spirit. The Holy Spirit is a member of the Trinity and co-equal with God the Father and God the Son. Theopening chapter of Scripture tells us that He existed before the formation of the earth and in fact partic-ipated in creation (Gen. 1:2, 26). Today, He has the critical role of helping and counseling all believers. The Holy Spirit is a gift to every child of God. His presence within us isn't something we have to earnor acquire. Rather, it is a marvelous privilege--by indwelling our hearts, He can guide and strengthen,steering each believer away from danger and into truth (John 16:7-8). Scripture tells us that Jesus cameso we could experience a full life (10:10). This is possible only when we listen to His Spirit and obey. Are you experiencing the abundant life Jesus promised? He wasn't talking about happy circumstancesbut rather the joy and contentment possible through a relationship with Him. If you're lacking in thisarea, consider your understanding of the Holy Spirit, and pray to be in tune with His promptings.

“Hug a nurse,” directed the signin our local hospital the other day.This was in connection with nurse-appreciation week or nurse-aware-ness week or some such thing.“Not a good idea,” I thought to my-self. It’s not that I don’t value orappreciate a good nurse. It’s justthat one can’t normally walk up tosomeone and give them a big hugwithout expecting some repercus-sions. They’d think you wentbonkers, in the first place. Theymight also take offense. “Who came up with that sillysign?” was my next thought. Itwasn’t a local person since the signwas professionally done and obvi-ously sent in from somewhere.Maybe they were just thinkingmetaphorically instead of literally,but I somehow suspect there mighthave been a better way to promotethe nursing profession. “Thank anurse,” might have been more ap-propriate or something in thatvein. Quite a few signs give mepause. Take the one on the hillgoing down into a nearby city. Itsays something like, “UnmuffledDynamic Compression BrakingProhibited.” When I first saw thatsign I thought, “What on earth arethey talking about? Can I do that?Am I doing that? What’s thepenalty?” Being curious, I natu-rally called Loren since he is asponge about such technical infor-mation. It also sounded like some-thing he might have done or atleast know about. Sure enough, hehad done it. When I asked him, Igot a full report about it being com-monly known as “Jake braking”after the inventor. It’s a way dieseltrucks slow themselves throughengine compression in order tosave their regular brakes. Prohibi-tion is because it makes a loud ob-noxious sound. Good enough. MyFord Explorer is neither a dieselnor a truck so I was safe. Then there are those signs thatjust seem to bug me for no goodreason. Take the one in clinics thatsays, “Should any patient wish todiscuss fees or charges, you are en-couraged to ask about them.” Thismay not be wrong grammatically,but it is awkward and seems tostart out hypothetically and thenswitch midstream. I think I couldwrite a better notice than that.Maybe something like, “If youhave a question about fees orcharges, please ask about them.Not that it would make any differ-ence in what you are charged, ofcourse.”

Other people are often amusedor irritated by signs as well. As aresult, they take pictures of themand post them on Facebook or else-where on the Internet. For in-stance, there is the photo of anormal “Stop” sign with a smallerwhite sign below saying, “No Stop-ping Anytime.” You can’t have itboth ways. Another says, “En-trance Only. Do Not Enter.” How’sthat again? I also like the one thatsays, “Speed Limit 14 ½ MPH.”That is maybe a little picky. In a remote area of a local town,there is a sign that prohibits mak-ing a U-turn. Trouble is, if youdon’t make a U-turn, you have togo on a roundabout drive thatleads nowhere or out of town butcertainly not anywhere you wantto go. As a result, no one pays anyattention and illegal turns are thenorm. That is similar to my collegewhich liked to post notices thatthere should be “No Walking onthe Grass.” That might work insome countries where people be-have properly, but not in the U S ofA. We here are more apt to walk onthe grass if there is a notice sayingwe shouldn’t than if there isn’t.This is especially so since there isno real penalty involved if you do.I figure if they can’t make side-walks that go directly from oneplace to another, they deserve tohave their grass walked on. Afterall, the shortest distance betweentwo points is a straight line andnot a colorful stroll over windingindirect pathways. I particularly hate signs thatwarn you about or prohibit stuffusing symbols I don’t understand.On the freeway, there is one show-ing the back end of a vehicle withswerving tracks behind it. I lookedthat up once and think it meansslippery when wet, but I alwaysforget exactly what it means andjust grumble around when I see it.If they mean the road is slipperywhen wet, why doesn’t the signjust say that instead of implying itthrough some vague symbol? By the way, if you want to hug anurse, you’re too late. Hug-a-nurseweek was earlier this month.Never mind. You can still make il-legal U-turns, walk on the grass,and do a bit of unmuffled dynamiccompression braking. Sounds likefun. Let’s get right on out thereand ignore or disobey signs or atleast grumble about them quite abit.

Ann Day from Manchester, Eng-land is back this year to visit theFortune ranch. Her friend, Claire,came with her, too. They landedlate Thursday, had a day to catch

their breath, and spent all day inthe saddle on Saturday, trailingBob and Charlie Fortune’s year-lings from the ranch down to theCarr place, south and west ofWhite River. Bob’s brother-in-law,Mark Nelson, from Philip was alsodown to help, along with ChadDavis and Grady, Garrett, andGage Davis, and of course AbbyFortune. The weather was nice andcool, and the yearlings traveledwell. There were a few rain show-ers through the day, but notenough to cause any discomfort.

Several neighbor kidshave enjoyed getting to feed thoseducks as well. Sydney Addisoncame over with her dad DJ on Sat-urday and helped catch the duck-lings and put them into a smallcage so Mike could clean out theirtank.

The difference between workingwith people or animals who want todo something, versus working withpeople or animals who don't isamazing, says Dr. Tom Noffsinger,a large animal veterinarian andlow-stress livestock handling con-sultant. "We've all seen lots of people askcattle to do things in a way thattook away the cattle's self-esteem,"says Noffsinger, who has practicedlow-stress cattle handling, andtaught feed yard and commercialcattle producers the technique formore than 10 years. "Our goal is tocreate voluntary cattle movement." Dr. Noffsinger says the key togetting cattle to want to go wherethe cattle producer wants them togo is based on the cattle producer'sability to understand cattle and ef-fectively communicate with them.He will introduce cattle producersto low-stress handling techniquesand teach them how to effectivelycommunicate with their cattle dur-ing a seminar at the Tri-County AgDay June 8 beginning at 10:30 a.m.at the SDSU Cottonwood ResearchStation. "Each time cattle change theiraddress, cattle producers need tosee that time as an opportunity toincrease cattle confidence in wherethey live," says Noffsinger, of work-ing with young calves, moving cat-tle for branding, weaning, or afterpurchase and feed yard arrival. Along with reducing the laborforce needed to move and work cat-tle, low-stress cattle handling isproven to have a positive impact onthe bottom-line. "It increases their feed intake,improves immune function and dis-ease resistance," Noffsinger said."It also creates honesty in cattle, sothey communicate their true stateof health, instead of hiding lame-ness and signs of illness." More Tri-County Ag Day detailsThere is a $25 registration fee forthe Low-Stress Cattle Handlingseminar; it covers all members ofthe same operation. Because low-stress cattle han-dling isn't about how one individ-ual does things, but it is about how

everyone works together, we wouldencourage adults and youth whowork with livestock to all attendthe seminar together. Along with the seminar, Tri-County Ag Day also includes atrade show, which will open at 10a.m. and run to about 8 p.m. Thetrade show is open to the public. Tri-County Ag Day includes aposter session featuring SDSU re-search projects and Extension pro-grams. Participants will have anopportunity to visit with SDSU re-searchers and Extension Special-ists about current research andprojects South Dakota State Uni-versity is working on. Participantsare encouraged to share ideas forresearch and future programming. An Ag Appreciation Banquetwill be held at 6 p.m. to thank areaproducers. The banquet is spon-sored by area business; SDSU icecream will be served. Everyone isinvited to attend, even if you can'tmake it to the low-stress livestockhandling seminar.

To show our appreciation forthose who serve in the U.S. Mili-tary, on May 19 – Armed ForcesDay – the National Park Servicewill begin issuing an annual passoffering free entrance to all 397 na-tional parks for active duty mili-tary members and theirdependents. “We honor the sacrifices ourwarriors and their families havemade to this country. I know a visitto the Badlands can bring peaceand happiness when we need it themost,” said Badlands NationalPark Superintendent Eric Brunne-mann. Visitors are encouraged to at-tend one of the daily ranger pro-grams offered May 29 throughSeptember 10. Fossils Talks andJunior Ranger Programs are espe-cially popular for families with chil-dren. The Night Sky Program is amust-see and is held Fridaythrough Monday after the 9 pmEvening Ranger Program in theCedar Pass Campground. For moreinformation on planning a visit, seewww.nps.gov/badl. Active duty members of the U.S.Military and their dependents canpick up their pass at any Badlands

National Park entrance booth.They must show a current, validmilitary identification card to ob-tain their pass. More information isavailable at www.nps.gov/finda-park/passes.htm. Minuteman Mis-sile National Historic Site does notcharge an entrance fee, so passesare not required but can be pickedup at Badlands. “Minuteman Missile NationalHistoric Site tells a contemporarymilitary story that is directly con-nected to our airmen at neighbor-ing Ellsworth Air Force Base,”stated Superintendent Ruben An-drade. Minuteman Missile will offertours of its Delta-1 Launch ControlCenter daily at 10:00 a.m. and 2:00p.m. Missile silo Delta-9 (I-90, Exit116) is also open to the public dailyfrom 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tour ticketsare given out on a first come, firstserved basis by coming to the Visi-tor Center, located in Cactus Flat,off I-90 at Exit 13, adjacent to theConoco gas station. This military version of theAmerica the Beautiful NationalParks and Federal RecreationalLands Pass also permits free en-trance to sites managed by the U.S.Fish & Wildlife Service, the Bureau

of Land Management, the Bureauof Reclamation, and the U.S. For-est Service. The pass is also avail-able at these locations. “Through the years, militarymembers, especially those far fromhome in times of conflict, havefound inspiration in America’s pa-triotic icons and majestic land-scapes, places like the Statue ofLiberty and the Grand Canyonthat are cared for by the NationalPark Service and symbolize the na-tion that their sacrifices protect,”said National Park Service Direc-tor Jonathan B. Jarvis. “This newpass is a way to thank militarymembers and their families fortheir service and their sacrifices.” National parks and the militaryhave strong ties going back to theestablishment of Yellowstone as theworld’s first national park in 1872.The U.S. Cavalry watched overAmerica’s national parks and diddouble duty, serving as the firstpark rangers until the NationalPark Service was created 44 yearslater. During World War II, manyparks were set aside for the train-ing and care of military personnel.Today, dozens of national parkscommemorate military battles andachievements.

Foliar Fungicides forWheat Scab and Late

Rust InfestationsWheat producers will want to

watch the weather forecast andmonitor the “Fusarium HeadBlight Risk Assessment Tool –2012”:http://www.wheatscab.psu.edu/riskTool_2012.html over thenext few weeks. With wet weatherduring anthesis (flowering) andthe early stages of grain develop-ment, any wheat field can be in-fected with scab to some degree,but those at highest risk areplanted into corn, grain sorghum,millet or wheat residue.

The 2012 prediction tools pro-vide daily estimates of risk forFusarium head blight based onweather the past seven days. Fo-liar fungicide applications will alsoprovide protection against lateseason rust infestations, and therisk of leaf and/or stripe rust mayinfluence those decisions.

Progression of rusts moving upfrom the south can be monitoredby visiting the USDA Cereal Dis-ease Laboratory: http://www.ars.usda.gov/Main/docs.htm?docid=9757. The most current informationcan be found at the link, “Reportson the Current Rust Situation inthe U.S.” Information during theprevious two weeks is summarizedin the most recent “2012 CerealRust Bulletin”. 2012 Rust Obser-vation Maps are updated as re-ports are received.

For information on fungiciderecommendations, access “SouthDakota Wheat Fungicide Recom-mendations”: http://pubstorage.sd-state.edu/AgBio_Publications/articles/FS952.pdf and/or “ManagingCrop Diseases with Fungicides”:http://igrow.org/up/resources/03-3005-2012.pdf.

HOSTA TractorSafety Schools

The HOSTA, or Hazardous Oc-cupation and Safety Training inAgriculture, program is alive andwell in South Dakota. SDSU Ex-tension was waiting to see how theUS Department of Labor’s pro-posed youth farm labor rule wouldfare before making plans to con-duct the program. The proposedrule, which would have signifi-cantly tightened restrictions onyouth performing hired farm labor,even on farms owned and operatedby their parents, was recentlywithdrawn.

Plans are in place to build onthe current program, which is out-lined on the SDSU HOSTA web-site:http://www.sdstate.edu/abe/extension/hosta/index.cfm, but fornow, will be conducted much as ithas been for several years. TheHazardous Occupations Order inAgriculture (HOOA) law statesthat any individual who is 14 to 15years old must be trained on thesafe operation of tractors, farmmachinery, and other hazardousactivities in the agricultural indus-try. 14 to 15-year-old youths whoare working on their home or fam-ily farm are exempt from the train-ing and certification requirements.

As of now, HOSTA training ses-sions will be held on Friday, June8 at the Winner Regional Exten-sion Center, and Monday, June 11at the Ag & Biosystems Engineer-ing Building on the SDSU Campusin Brookings. One or more addi-tional locations are being consid-ered.

The sessions will begin at 10:00am with classroom instructionuntil noon, at which time theyouth attending will take the writ-ten test. The afternoon will beused to conduct the skills and driv-ing tests which are required toqualify for a HOSTA certificate inaddition to passing the writtentest. The cost of the training is$15, which includes a noon meal.

To receive a HOSTA certificate,youth must be 14 years of age.Youth who are 13 years of age arewelcome to attend the training,complete the written, skills anddriving tests, and their certificatewill be mailed to them when theyturn 14. Youth who only work ontheir family farm or otherwise donot need a HOSTA certificate arealso welcome to attend. Youth de-siring a HOSTA certificate shouldstudy the 48 “core” task sheets onthe HOSTA website, on which thewritten test is based, and whichsatisfies the “24 hours of instruc-tion” previously required.

ANNUAL CROPCERTIFICATION

The next phase of the Farm Pro-gram is crop certification. This en-tails producers/operators andlandowners (getting a share of thecrop) are reporting planted ANDcrops to be planted for crop year2012 to their local FSA County Of-fice.

The process will be that theCounty Office is calling produc-ers/operators to set up appoint-ments to do this. Of course, if youwant in sooner-if you have a Fed-eral Crop worked wheat loss, forexample, just give us a call. Dead-line to report acres is 7/15.

Every year, at crop reporting,we see instances of new breakingthat was NOT reported to FSA.Remember, the sod/swamp provi-sions require you to report anynew breaking or drainage workPRIOR to doing these activities.This is so that the ground can beevaluated and determined ifhighly erodible or a wetland and if

need a conservation complianceplan, etc.
