Dennis Daugaard has declared April as Child Abuse Prevention Month in South Dakota, encouraging people in communities across the state to work together to keep children safe and offer the support families need to stay together. The Governor said all children in South Dakota have the right to live quality lives that are free from abuse and neglect. “I’ve seen firsthand the effects of child abuse and neglect during my experience at Children’s Home Society,” Gov. Daugaard said. “The South Dakota Department of Social Services is committed to helping future generations succeed. It is focused on ensuring the safety and well-being of all families and improving the lives of children in our state.” Individuals can be a part of the prevention process by: • Learning about the signs of child abuse and neglect. Educate yourself on the signs of child abuse and neglect, and be prepared to recognize them. Learn more about the common signs of abuse and neglect at www.dss.sd.gov/cps/protective • Asking for help if you need it. As a caregiver, there are many resources available to provide support. Common Sense Parenting classes are held throughout the state and cover topics ranging from reducing family stress to enriching relationships with young children. For more information on this program, visit www.dss.sd.gov/cps/parentingprogram •Offering a helping hand to friends and neighbors. Let parents know you are available and willing to talk, or offer to give parents a rest by taking care of the children. Volunteer your time to local community programs that provide support for families, such as after-school programs, athletic or church activities. •Reporting suspected child abuse and neglect. If you have reason to believe a child has been harmed or may be in danger, report it by contacting your local Department of Social Services office or local law enforcement agency. •Wearing a blue ribbon. Throughout the month of April, citizens are asked to wear blue ribbons or tie them to their vehicle antennas to spread the message of child-abuse prevention. The Department of Social Services’ Division of Child Protection Services has 20 offices across the state and serves every county. In addition to receiving and assessing reports of child abuse and/or neglect, the division connects parents with the needed resources to help increase their ability to keep children safe.

A flashing yellow arrow means left turns are permitted, but drivers must first yield to oncoming traffic and pedestrians before proceeding with caution. The system replaces the solid green “ball” indication as a signal for motorists to proceed through an intersection. The solid yellow arrow means motorists should prepare to stop or complete left turns if already in the intersection. Flashing yellow arrow signals have already been installed at several locations in the Black Hills including Catron Boulevard in Rapid City, Peaceful Pines Road in Black Hawk, and on Highway 85 in Belle Fourche. Traffic signals displaying the flashing yellow arrow in the future are located at two intersections on Highway 16 in Custer and at two intersections on Jackson Boulevard in Rapid City. Those signals are expected to be operational later this year. The change to flashing yellow arrows is the result of a national study done for the Federal Highway Administration which demonstrated that the new signals help reduce left turn crashes by 35 percent.

April 10, 2013 • The Faith Independent • Page 3 Animal rabies cases rise for second year Projects on Highways 73 & 20 South Dakota animal rabies cases were up in 2012, climbing for the second straight year, according to the yearly surveillance report recently released by the Department of Health. There were 60 animal rabies cases in 2012, up from 40 the year before. While animals rabies is reported every year, the disease tends to be cyclical, with years of high case numbers followed by years with lower numbers, noted Dr. Lon Kightlinger, State Epidemiologist for the Department of Health. “Rabies is a risk every year in South Dakota and that risk is statewide,” said Kightlinger. “Rabies vaccination is readily available, inexpensive and important to protect your pets and the people around them.” In 2012 there were rabies detections in 29 South Dakota counties. Those rabies positives included 21 domestic animals – 16 cattle, 3 horses, 2 cats – as well as 36 skunks and 3 bats. South Dakota’s last human rabies case was reported in 1970. The 16 rabid cattle in 2012 was the highest number of cases in 15 years for South Dakota and higher than any state in the country. Beef and dairy cattle are usually exposed to rabies through bites from skunks and people can in turn be exposed by contact with the cattle’s saliva. Dr. Russ Daly, State Public Health Veterinarian, noted that signs of rabies in cattle can be very vague and may start as subtle behavior changes and progress to salivation, abnormal bellowing, persistent heat cycles, and incoordination. Contact a veterinarian right away if you suspect rabies in an animal and avoid contact with the saliva of that animal. “Rabies vaccine is available for cattle but routine vaccination of cattle herds isn’t practical,” said Dr. Daly. “However, show animals and others that have a lot of human contact should be vaccinated for rabies starting in the spring. The vaccine for cattle is good for one year and has a 21 day withdrawal period.” In addition to vaccinating pets and other animals with frequent human contact, reduce the risk of rabies with these precautions: •Do not handle, adopt, or attempt to feed wild animals. Teach children to avoid animals they don't know and to tell you immediately if they are bitten or scratched by any animal. • Avoid any animal, wild or domestic, that behaves strangely and immediately report it to your local veterinarian, animal control, conservation, or law enforcement office. • Do not handle dead, sick or injured animals. If you must, use heavy gloves, sticks, or other tools to avoid direct contact. Farmers and ranchers should wear gloves and protective eyewear when treating sick animals to prevent exposure to saliva. • Close outdoor trash containers tightly to avoid attracting skunks and raccoons. • Clear wood or junk piles from homes to deter wild animals from moving in. • Do not handle bats. If bats are found in a room with small children or sleeping people, call the Department of Health, your physician, or local animal control officer. If you suspect rabies in a wild animal, pet or livestock – or if your animal has been bitten by a possibly rabid animal – contact your veterinarian immediately. If you have a potential exposure to rabies, wash the affected area with soap and water right away and call your doctor or the Department of Health at 1-800-592- 1861. Your veterinarian will instruct you as to handling of animals involved. If the animal is dead, save the carcass for laboratory testing, being careful not to damage the head. If the animal is alive, contact your local animal control authorities so it can be captured for examination or observation. If you are bitten or scratched by a rabid animal, rabies vaccination can prevent human disease. in Perkins County begin FAITH, S.D. – The South Dakota Department of Transportation will begin a 44-mile asphalt concrete resurfacing and shoulder-widening project on Highway 73 and Highway 20 in Perkins County on Monday, April 8.

South Dakota establishes the Housing Opportunity Fund New tool for providing needed housing in communities across state With Governor Dennis Daugaard’s signature making SB 235 law, housing and homeless advocates across the state are celebrating the creation of the South Dakota Housing Opportunity Fund, which will be used to preserve and expand sustainable, affordable and safe housing in communities throughout the state. “We will be able to develop the housing our communities’ need, while also generating jobs and local economic activity. South Dakota neighborhoods thrive when there is a wide variety of affordable housing available” reflects Patty Bacon, Habitat for Humanity - SD. The SD Housing Opportunity Fund (SDHOF) is part of a fivepronged economic development initiative passed by the legislature that will receive funding through the Building South Dakota Fund. The Housing Opportunity Fund will provide financing for the construction or rehabilitation of rental or homeowner housing, the preservation of existing affordable homes, home repair to increase accessibility and efficiency, homelessness prevention activities, as well as investing in community land trusts. The Housing Opportunity Fund will receive 25% of Building South Dakota Fund resources, and will be administered by the South Dakota Housing Finance Authority. “We send our heart-felt thanks to Senator Corey Brown, and the leadership in both the Senate and House. This is a real win-win for South Dakotans,” said Lori Moen, Grow South Dakota. South Dakota becomes the 47th state with at least one statewide trust fund. Nationally Housing Trust funds have provided thousands of affordable homes to more than a million people. Housing Trust fund investments have created jobs which have generated millions of dollars in local economies. “The Housing Opportunity Fund is going to benefit South Dakotans who most urgently need affordable housing: working families, senior citizens, and people with disabilities,” said Shireen Ranschau, SF Housing & Redevelopment Commission. “Hardworking people should be able to afford housing and still have enough money for groceries and other basic necessities. Unfortunately, we know many communities do not have housing that is affordable to the local workforce. The Housing Opportunity Fund will target housing for working people,” added Joy Mc- Cracken, NeighborWorks. Sr. Citizens Menu All meals served with milk and bread.
