Wanblee man pleads guilty to<br />
kidnapping Jerett Jakeway<br />
United States Attorney Brendan<br />
V. Johnson announced that Jerett<br />
Jakeway, age 26, of Wanblee, South<br />
Dakota, appeared before United<br />
States District Judge Roberto A.<br />
Lange on June 15, 2012, and pled<br />
guilty to Kidnapping, Aiding and<br />
Abetting. The maximum penalty<br />
upon conviction is life imprisonment,<br />
a $250,000 fine, or both; 5<br />
years of supervised release, and a<br />
special assessment of $100 to the<br />
Victim Assistance Fund (VAF).<br />
The conviction stems from an incident<br />
that took place on November<br />
5, 2011, when Jakeway and his father<br />
abducted the victim, an adult<br />
male. Jakeway and his father,<br />
William Jakeway, thought the victim<br />
had stolen a piece of property<br />
from a different family member.<br />
They traveled from Wanblee to the<br />
Rosebud Indian Reservation and<br />
located the victim. At gun point,<br />
they forced the victim out of a vehicle<br />
and assaulted him. They forced<br />
the victim into their car for the purpose<br />
of harassing and interrogating<br />
him and started driving back toward<br />
Wanblee. Law enforcement<br />
authorities were dispatched to the<br />
area, located the Jakeways,<br />
stopped their vehicle, and freed the<br />
victim. The victim suffered bruises<br />
and abrasions as a result of the<br />
kidnapping.<br />
The investigation was conducted<br />
by Rosebud Sioux Tribe Law Enforcement<br />
Services. The case is<br />
being prosecuted by Assistant<br />
United States Attorney Tim Maher.<br />
A presentence investigation was<br />
ordered, and a sentencing date was<br />
set for September 11, 2012. Jakeway<br />
was remanded to the custody<br />
of the United States Marshal pending<br />
sentencing.<br />

Read Matthew 6:9-13<br />
Jesus Christ gave His followers a pattern for prayer<br />
that includes seeking forgiveness daily. The invitation<br />
The God Who Forgives to regular repentance is not a means of renewing our<br />
salvation, but rather a maintenance plan for our fellowship<br />
with the Lord. When we trust Jesus as our Savior, our sins are forgiven forever. The stains from our<br />
past, present, and future wrongs are wiped from our record; however, we're a fallen people so we do continue<br />
to commit sin.<br />
With the exception of Jesus Christ, no person is perfect. Sin is simply a fact of human life. The Lord's<br />
payment for our transgressions means that we can look forward to an eternity spent in God's presence<br />
instead of getting the punishment we deserve. On this side of heaven, though, we still have to contend<br />
with our tendency to do wrong--and we must also deal with the consequences. The Lord's admonition to<br />
seek daily forgiveness is a reminder to confess our sins and turn away from them because we are forgiven.<br />
God's grace is not a license to sin; instead, it's a reason to pursue righteousness. Bad attitudes, thoughtless<br />
actions, and unkind speech do not fit who we are as children of light. We're new creatures in Christ,<br />
bought for a price and set free to live as partakers of His grace.<br />
Salvation makes a way for us to enter God's presence, while regular confession and repentance keep<br />
the pathway well maintained and free of obstruction (1 John 1:9). The so-called "sinner's prayer" need be<br />
said only once, but a saint will tap into God's forgiveness every day of his or her life.<br />

Letter to<br />
the Editor<br />
Dear Editor,<br />
Count your bedrooms: Once we<br />
have turned over the needs of<br />
Kadoka to those nice state employees<br />
from the Central South Dakota<br />
Enhancement District [EPA] who<br />
come down from Pierre to sell<br />
“Comprehensive Planning” we may<br />
get surprises. I witnessed one such<br />
event in Nebraska while there.<br />
That “Comprehensive Plan” was on<br />
the county level.<br />
In my opinion, once adopted the<br />
important folks in the area who do<br />
not enjoy any outsider visitor dollars<br />
exercised a long standing<br />
grudge - mainly against Colorado<br />
people. Many from the Denver area<br />
like the hundred miles of sandy<br />
beaches and 30 mile long Lake Mc-<br />
Conaughy north of Ogallala, NE.<br />
As some of my relatives and friends<br />
have found you seem to get extra<br />
“police protection” if your car bears<br />
a Colorado license plate.<br />
Many Colorado folks vacation at<br />
an installation called North Shore<br />
a half mile south of our previous<br />
home. North Shore along Lake Mc-<br />
Conaughy was founded by Sue Jordan,<br />
recently of Kadoka, and her<br />
deceased husband. Over the years<br />
it grew to a complex of over 160 vacation<br />
homes, a restaurant, a marina,<br />
motel and campground. Boat<br />
launching facilities are also available.<br />
Once the “Plan” was in place,<br />
the locally elected officials decided<br />
that the complex had to have a centralized<br />
sewage disposal system.<br />
The bureaucratic rules that dictate<br />
“one size fits all” had to be followed.<br />
“Big Brother’s” whim<br />
determined those needs be based<br />
on the number of bedrooms in the<br />
complex - about 400 of them.<br />
Sewage space had to be determined<br />
on the basis of two people in each<br />
bedroom 365 days a year. In real<br />
life those bedrooms for the most<br />
part are in use, if at all, only on<br />
weekends or short vacations of a<br />
week or two in the summer.<br />
The result was still being built<br />
close to our home when we left. It<br />
is a three stage monster sewer lagoon<br />
which had to be plastic lined<br />
due to possible leaching in the<br />
sandy soil. The sewage has to be<br />
pumped. It works on an evaporative<br />
basis as it cannot be vented<br />
due possible pollution of springs<br />
above Lake McConaughy on the<br />
hill below North Shore. All three<br />
stages were to have a labor intensive<br />
water level maintained in<br />
them year around.<br />
North Shore lost a lot of beautiful<br />
old trees to new sewer lines as<br />
well as some tenants. Operational<br />
costs are higher. Along with business<br />
losses, the taxpayers are the<br />
losers. The environmental engineers<br />
of Schumacher, Paul & Nor<br />
and bonded outside certified contractors<br />
did OK. The bureaucrats<br />
from EPA are probably pointing to<br />
it as a fine example of protecting<br />
the people’s health and safety.<br />
Kadoka’s situation is different.<br />
However, how many surprises will<br />
be discovered when the pristine<br />
rock of Comprehensive Planning is<br />
turned over?<br />
How many bedrooms does<br />
Kadoka have?<br />

Lookin’ Around<br />
by Syd Iwan<br />
“We’re tenting tonight on the<br />
old campground,” goes the Civil-<br />
War song. Well, not me personally.<br />
I’m not really into tenting all that<br />
much, but I expect many flimsy<br />
temporary structures were erected<br />
in the state last night and many<br />
people slept in them. There are<br />
about four reasons why I am not<br />
eager to join this throng of<br />
campers, namely wind, rain, cold,<br />
and rattlesnakes. I can do without<br />
any of those things when I’m trying<br />
to sleep.<br />
Not only that, but our ranch<br />
home is at the back of beyond so<br />
we’re sort of camping out all year<br />
long anyway. When the electricity<br />
goes out, there we are with the<br />
fireplace going, kerosene lamps or<br />
flashlights lighting things up, and<br />
the propane camp stove set up on<br />
the defunct kitchen range for making<br />
coffee and the occasional<br />
cheeseburger or whatever. That’s<br />
really all the “roughing-it” that I<br />
require.<br />
This is not to say that I have<br />
never tried the tenting thing. Once<br />
many years ago, two other guys<br />
and I tented one night somewhere<br />
in Wyoming or Montana. It’s been<br />
so long ago that I forget the details.<br />
We were headed for a weeklong<br />
conference at Colorado<br />
Springs and were trying to save<br />
money. The main thing I recall was<br />
waking up very cold indeed. I<br />
didn’t care much for it despite it<br />
being a cheap way to spend the<br />
night.<br />
As a kid, though, I did enjoy a<br />
tent my folks bought for my sister<br />
and me. It didn’t have a floor and I<br />
didn’t ever stay in it overnight. It<br />
was quite a grand place to play<br />
during the day, however. I still remember<br />
the smell of the green canvas<br />
and how the sun lit it in a neat<br />
way during the day. It did blow<br />
down several times but not while I<br />
was in it. We just put it back up<br />
again or else folded it away if we<br />
were done with it for the time.<br />
What really amazes me is a<br />
bunch of coyote hunters from Minnesota<br />
who often camp down by<br />
our creek each January. Sometimes<br />
they don’t even pitch a tent<br />
but just throw up a sheet of plastic<br />
to kind of block the wind and then<br />
sleep in polar sleeping bags. So far<br />
I haven’t noticed any bits of them<br />
missing from frost, and they seem<br />
perfectly content with this extreme<br />
form of roughing it. I, however,<br />
have no plans to join them anytime<br />
soon. They’re nuts.<br />
The Eddie and Marjorie Kodet<br />
estate sale was held on Saturday at<br />
the place just north and east of<br />
town. According to daughter, Janet<br />
Leitheiser, they had a good day for<br />
the sale and a lot of people attended.<br />
They didn’t sell the land or<br />
the house, but did get rid of equipment<br />
and household goods they no<br />
longer needed. Janet said they<br />
couldn’t sell the house as it is her<br />
“cabin on the prairie” as compared<br />
to many of her Minnesota neighbors<br />
who have “cabins on the lake.”<br />
Janet is more drawn to the prairie<br />
than to lakes. Janet’s husband,<br />
Mel, and two of their three kids,<br />
Mark and Lori, were here to help<br />
during the ten days or so prior to<br />
the sale. Son Chris was in Boston<br />
and couldn’t come. Janet’s brother,<br />
Edward, also helped with sale<br />
preparations as did his son, Daniel.<br />
His wife, however, had recently<br />
broken her hip and was dealing<br />
with pins, plates and rehab. Various<br />
neighbors and friends helped<br />
out as well. The Catholic church in<br />
Kadoka provided the lunch. Janet<br />
said it was kind of hard to part<br />
with some things as they brought<br />
back memories of her folks using<br />
them. Janet will have to return to<br />
the Twin-Cities area in Minnesota<br />
later this week to help baby-sit a<br />
granddaughter, but she hopes to return<br />
next weekend for the<br />
Belvidere alumni gathering on<br />
Sunday. It is a special reunion for<br />
her brother, Edward, since this is<br />
the fiftieth anniversary of his graduation.<br />
He, too, hopes to attend.<br />
Eddie Kodet died in August of 2010<br />
at age 95 and Marjorie in March of<br />
2009 at 92.<br />

One other camping experience I<br />
had was similar to what the Minnesota<br />
guys do in that we didn’t<br />
use tents. At the time, I was a<br />
counselor at a summer camp along<br />
the Missouri River in the southern<br />
part of the state. One night, we<br />
just slept in sleeping bags on the<br />
sand of the Missouri shoreline. It<br />
was a warm enough night to not be<br />
a problem temperature-wise, and<br />
it was kind of neat to look up and<br />
see the stars while you were going<br />
to sleep. Still, I later killed a rattlesnake<br />
at that campground and<br />
was glad I hadn’t had any come<br />
cozy up to me during our night on<br />
the sand. What a nasty thought.<br />
Having a tent with a decent floor<br />
would lessen the worry about<br />
snakes, for sure, but sleeping bags<br />
alone don’t provide much protection.<br />
On the other hand, I greatly enjoyed<br />
a little camping trailer I had<br />
for a while. I bought it in New Orleans<br />
for temporary cheap housing<br />
while we were building the last<br />
Navy ship I was on. I thought I<br />
was going to lose it right away as,<br />
a few days after I got it, a major<br />
hurricane, Camille, destroyed half<br />
the gulf coast just east of New Orleans.<br />
Luckily we were spared, and<br />
the trailer lived to follow me to<br />
Florida, South Carolina and back<br />
home to the ranch. It was basically<br />
just a miniature house with a<br />
sturdy air conditioner on the roof,<br />
plus a tiny stove and refrigerator<br />
and even a bathroom where you<br />
could take a shower while sitting<br />
on the toilet. It was a great escape<br />
from the ship from time to time<br />
since, if you’re on the ship and not<br />
even technically on duty, you’re<br />
still on duty. My most memorable<br />
camping experience with it was on<br />
the way home when I stopped at a<br />
campground in Kentucky over Memorial-Day<br />
weekend. I had my little<br />
motorcycle along with which I<br />
zoomed around over the winding<br />
narrow paved roads of that area<br />
and felt the complete adventurer<br />
and camper.<br />
At the moment, though, I have<br />
no plans to run out and buy a tent,<br />
a sleeping bag, or even a camper of<br />
any sort. I’m content to simply relive<br />
my experiences of those things<br />
in my mind. Others may be tenting<br />
tonight on the old campground,<br />
but I’m not one of them. I have a<br />
nice sturdy building in which to<br />
spend the night with all the comforts<br />
of home. That’s the way I like<br />
it.<br />
day. Mike’s daughter, Emmy Lu<br />
Hill, also came from White River<br />
with her husband, Rozen, and family.<br />
Mike’s remaining brother,<br />
Leroy, was there as were his five<br />
sisters. Alex was 66.<br />
Jim DeVries and his son, Tim, of<br />
Kansas arrived this week to spend<br />
some time at the ranch with son,<br />
Mark, and family. They expect to<br />
stay through the alumni reunion<br />
next weekend. Jim’s wife, Lynn,<br />
didn’t come this time since she is<br />
taking some college classes and<br />
tending the yard and such back<br />
home, but she hopes to come along<br />
later in the summer. Jim, incidentally,<br />
was a member of the last<br />
class to graduate from Belvidere<br />
High School.<br />
Kate DeVries is back in the area<br />
with her daughter, Ruth Ann<br />
Niehoff. Kate wintered with Ruth<br />
Ann in Nevada. Kate is residing at<br />
the nursing home in Kadoka. She,<br />
naturally, would hate to miss the<br />
GAS • POP<br />

Belvidere school reunion which will<br />
be held next weekend. She has<br />
kept the school memorabilia for<br />
years and written up yearly news<br />
of graduates.<br />
Joy Dolezal was amused to learn<br />
that her grandson, Jacob Nemec, finally<br />
got to port on his nuclear<br />
Navy submarine and promptly got<br />
a sunburn. Family members teased<br />
him about this. Apparently there is<br />
not much danger of a sunburn on a<br />
sub that rarely sees the light of day<br />
for months at a time. Only when<br />
you get to port.<br />
Jamie Dolezal’s sister, Amanda,<br />
arrived from Sioux Falls on Sunday<br />
evening with her new baby, Austin.<br />
She just came to visit for a few<br />
days. Jamie has one other sister,<br />
Jackie, plus a brother, Lance. On<br />
Saturday, Jamie and son Travis<br />
went to the festival days in Philip.<br />
Travis took part in some of the<br />
games on Main Street such as the<br />
money scramble. They also<br />
watched the horse racing. Travis<br />
was really into the racing, and,<br />
when one of the cowboy’s hats flew<br />
off, he said, “Oh, no!”<br />
Bunny Green’s daughter, Darlene<br />
Wiedemer, came from Murdo<br />
on Saturday and brought along<br />
some things she’d picked up for<br />
Bunny in Pierre. She also had an<br />
eleven-year-old boy with her that<br />
she sometimes takes care of while<br />
his mom works. He enjoyed playing<br />
with Bunny’s dog. On Thursday,<br />
Eve and Abby Fortune stopped by<br />
for an hour or so and enjoyed some<br />
coffee and cookies.<br />
Eric Osborn’s dad, Wib, came<br />
down on Sunday and did a little<br />
mowing around the place. Eric<br />
served him spare ribs for dinner,<br />
and the two got the van running.<br />
Pam, meanwhile, has been working<br />
at 1880 Town. Eric and Pam’s garden<br />
is coming along with the beans<br />
doing well at present. They have<br />
also planted a Charlie Brown<br />
pumpkin patch and think it might<br />
be a hoot this fall to see if they have<br />
a “great pumpkin.” They also recently<br />
got 54 baby chicks which<br />
they aren’t quite sure what to do<br />
with, especially since there were<br />
only supposed to be 25. These are<br />
eating chickens instead of layers,<br />
however, and should provide some<br />
tasty meals later on.<br />
Bill and Norma Headlee had<br />
their daughter, Monica Dorn, home<br />
this weekend from Hendricks, MN.<br />
Monica came in part to help her<br />
dad celebrate Father’s Day. She<br />
will also be attending a teachers<br />
seminar in Chamberlain this week.<br />
Monica actually teaches at Brookings,<br />
SD, although she lives just<br />
across the Minnesota border.<br />
Brett and Nikki Bonenberger<br />
and kids took in parts of the Philip<br />
festival days this weekend such as<br />
a school reunion (Nikki’s tenth)<br />
and the Matched Bronc Ride. They<br />
attended some things in company<br />
with Brandon and Belinda<br />
Mitchell. Daughter MaKaylan is<br />
looking forward to her first T-ball<br />
game this coming week which is<br />
similar to baseball except the ball<br />
isn’t pitched. It’s just placed on a<br />
flexible post. Nikki also mentioned<br />
that Delores Bonenberger’s sister,<br />
Gladys Hix, recently arrived from<br />
her home in Colorado Springs and<br />
hopes to spend a few days here.<br />
Les Huber is currently splitting<br />
his time between Rapid City and<br />
Belvidere. He was home in<br />
Belvidere this weekend but went<br />
back to Rapid City on Sunday to<br />
prepare for some painting jobs at<br />
the public school on Monday. More<br />
jobs are lined up in Deadwood for<br />
later this summer. Les’ friend,<br />
Diane, recently moved back to<br />
Yankton as her daughter is there<br />
and hopes to finish her last two<br />
years of high school there. Diane<br />
expects to come back here some<br />
and Les plans some trips there.<br />
Diane’s daughter, Megan, is quite<br />
an artist and is handy at drawing<br />
and painting. Les has some acreage<br />
on Jolly Lane in Rapid Valley and<br />
presently has his trailer parked<br />
there for living quarters.<br />

The newlyweds will make their<br />
home in Worthing, SD.<br />
Dawn will be heading back to<br />

travel on to Wisconsin for a show<br />
there, before coming back to the<br />

Blake, Amy, Jason and Patrick<br />
Lehman attended the wedding of<br />
Briana Hulett to Steve Rupp Saturday<br />
at 1:00 at the Rasmussen<br />
ranch. After a reception there, the<br />
wedding party, friends, neighbors<br />
and relatives traveled east to<br />
Chamberlain for a wedding reception<br />
meal and dance at Cedar<br />
Shores Resort, hosted by the<br />
groom.<br />
After the reception in Chamberlain,<br />
Patrick continued on to<br />
Mitchell to meet up his fellow competitors<br />
in the SD State Shooting<br />
Sports Assoc., going on to Grand Island,<br />
NE, for the National Shooting<br />

builders, working on their Indy<br />
type race car to enter into the competition<br />
in Lincoln, NE. Blake and<br />
Amy plan to be in Grand Island for<br />
Patrick’s competition Wednesday<br />
and Thursday, and go on that afternoon<br />
to Lincoln for Jason and<br />
teams’ competition Thursday and<br />
Friday. This is much more workable<br />
this year (being able to attend<br />
both sons’ doings) than last year<br />
when the competitions were in opposite<br />
sides of the country.<br />
The Buck’N Horse Baseball<br />
Tournament in Norris was well attended<br />
Friday, Saturday and Sunday,<br />

night shortened things a bit Friday<br />
evening, but they were back in full<br />
swing Saturday and Sunday, with<br />
the town all cleaned up after the<br />
storm. <strong>Pioneer</strong> Store stayed open<br />
during the tournament and there<br />
were other foods available to feed<br />
the hungry fans.<br />

Omaha on Wednesday to visit her<br />
sister, Andrea Beckwith, in Norris.<br />

Thursday to join the others in<br />
wishing James Letellier a happy<br />
Father’s Day. Friday Jim and Marjorie<br />

extra busy running back and forth<br />
to the ball diamond to watch the<br />
games.<br />

and forth across town getting supplies.<br />
While in Texas, June was among<br />

Matthew celebrate their 10th<br />
birthday on June 8. The Marcus<br />

Boating safety emphasized<br />
by Game, Fish and Parks Agriculture Secretary Tom Vil-<br />
Water temperatures are warming<br />
in South Dakota, and boaters<br />
typically begin to take to the water<br />
in greater numbers as the July<br />
Fourth holiday approaches.<br />
In an effort to help keep those<br />
boaters safe on South Dakota’s<br />
public waters, the Department of<br />
Game, Fish and Parks (GFP) will<br />
step up its efforts over the next few<br />
weekends to conduct boating safety<br />
checks across the state.<br />
“While GFP conservation officers<br />
routinely conduct boating<br />
safety checks during much of the<br />
year, these stepped up efforts are<br />
being made as part of a nationwide<br />
boating safety campaign in conjunction<br />
with the National Association<br />
of Boating Law<br />
Adminstrators (NASBLA),” said<br />
Brandon Gust, GFP boating safety<br />
coordinator.<br />
Before heading onto the water<br />
this summer, Gust encourages<br />
boaters to take a close look at their<br />
fire extinguishers, life jackets,<br />
throwable seat cushions and other<br />
equipment to be sure they’re in<br />
good working condition. “The best<br />
way to prevent an unwanted<br />
tragedy on the water is to be prepared.”<br />
If boaters are uncertain what<br />
safety equipment they are required<br />
to have onboard, Gust suggests<br />
that they pick up a copy of the<br />
South Dakota Boating Handbook<br />
at the nearest GFP Office, state<br />
park, GFP-license outlet or by<br />
going online at<br />

The following list of required<br />
safety equipment serves as a quick<br />
reference, but Gust suggests that<br />
boaters take a few minutes to review<br />
other safety regulations in the<br />
South Dakota Boating Handbook.<br />

•One U.S. Coast Guard-approved<br />
wearable, properly sized<br />

vessels 16 feet or longer<br />
•One U.S. Coast Guard-approved<br />
fire extinguisher of B-1 type<br />
or larger for vessels with enclosed<br />
gas compartments<br />
While state regulations require<br />
that children under the age of<br />
seven must wear their life jackets<br />
anytime a boat is moving on the<br />
water at ‘greater than no-wake<br />
speed,’ Gust encourages parents to<br />
have all children wear life jackets.<br />
Gust also emphasizes that parents<br />
should check to be sure each child<br />
has a properly sized lifejacket to<br />
ensure it doesn’t come off when<br />
they jump into the water.<br />
“Of course, it goes without saying<br />
that life jackets will not keep<br />
anyone afloat, young or old, if<br />
they’re not wearing them,” said<br />
Gust.<br />
Boating accidents present a special<br />
safety concern, and Gust asks<br />
that boaters be especially mindful<br />
when other boats are present.<br />
“Many times we see boat accidents<br />
that involve inexperienced<br />
operators, but careless or reckless<br />
operators present a problem for<br />
everyone,” he said.<br />
Finally, Gust asks that boat operators<br />
do their part to make for a<br />
safe outing and limit alcohol consumption.<br />
“The safety of everyone aboard a<br />
boat depends on having a sober and<br />
competent boat operator,” he said.<br />
“While open containers of alcohol<br />
are allowed in boats, we want to<br />
ensure that each boat has a designated<br />
sober operator at all times.”<br />
USDA seeks applications for grants<br />
to help rural businesses create jobs The days of cutting hay on an In-<br />
sack has announced that USDA is<br />
accepting applications for grants to<br />
help promote sustainable economic<br />
development and job creation in<br />
rural communities.<br />
"Cooperative enterprises often<br />
lead economic growth and job creation<br />
in rural areas," Vilsack said.<br />
"USDA is offering grants to help organizations<br />
start cooperatives, expand<br />
existing ones or help develop<br />
business opportunities in rural<br />
areas."<br />
USDA is offering Rural Cooperative<br />
Development Grants (RCDG)<br />
to non-profit corporations and institutions<br />
of higher education. The<br />
grants also may be used to conduct<br />
feasibility studies, create and implement<br />
business plans, and help<br />
businesses develop new markets<br />
for their products and services.<br />
One-year grants up to $175,000<br />
are available. In most cases, grants<br />
may be used to pay for up to 75 percent<br />
of the cost of establishing and<br />
operating rural cooperative development<br />
centers. Recipients are required<br />
to match 25 percent of the<br />
award amount. The grant period<br />
should begin no earlier than October<br />
1, 2012, and no later than January<br />
1, 2013.<br />
Many RCDG recipients have a<br />
long history of job creation and economic<br />
development. In Great Falls,<br />
MT, the Montana Cooperative Development<br />
Center has helped 123<br />
entities and guided the formation<br />
of 37 cooperatives since its inception<br />
in 1999. One of these cooperatives,<br />
the Last Chance Café, in<br />
Sunburst, MT, near the Canadian<br />
border, would have closed without<br />
help from the development center<br />
and its USDA Rural Cooperative<br />
Development Grant. This iconic<br />
café is once again a successful local<br />
diner and a gathering spot for the<br />
local community.<br />
Through this notice, USDA may<br />
award up to $5.8 million in grants.<br />
The deadline for RCDG applications<br />
is August 6, 2012. For additional<br />
information, see the June 7,<br />
2012 Federal Register or contact<br />
the USDA Rural Development<br />
state office.<br />
In addition, USDA is offering almost<br />
$2.37 million in grants<br />
through USDA Rural Development's<br />
Rural Business Opportunity<br />
Grant (RBOG. The program promotes<br />
sustainable economic development<br />
in rural communities and<br />
regions with exceptional needs.<br />

Putting up high quality hay<br />
ternational H or M tractor with a<br />
sickle mower are long gone for<br />
most, says Julie Walker, SDSU Extension<br />
Beef Specialist.<br />
"It seemed like a field took forever<br />
to finish cutting. I clearly remember<br />
the day that Dad<br />
purchased a 12-foot mower with<br />
conditioner. Boy could you lay<br />
down the hay with that piece of<br />
equipment," Walker said, of her<br />
childhood growing up on a farm in<br />
Minnesota. "Needless to say, hay<br />
equipment has improved over the<br />
last few decades."<br />
Although equipment has improved,<br />
there are still many decisions<br />
Walker says producers still<br />
need to make to ensure hay quality<br />
is adequate. The decisions producers<br />
make as managers of forage resources<br />
will hopefully reduce the<br />
amount of supplementation that<br />
will be required to meet the animal<br />
nutrient requirements.<br />
What is high quality hay?<br />
"Many producers would say<br />
quality hay is green in color, free of<br />
mold and weeds, has a high portion<br />
of leaves and it was put up without<br />
rain on it," said Walker, adding<br />
that although these are good indicators<br />
of high quality hay, they<br />
don't tell producers anything about<br />
the nutritional content of the forage.<br />
Sampling is the best way to understand<br />
the nutritional content of<br />
forage, Walker says.<br />
"Producers need to sample the<br />
hay once it is in the stack and send<br />
the sample to a lab for nutritional<br />
analysis. This is essential to understanding<br />
its true quality," she said.<br />
What are the best management<br />
practices that should be considered<br />
to improve the odds of getting a<br />
stack of high quality hay?<br />
To answer this question, Walker<br />
first asks producers if they go for<br />
quantity, or quality?<br />
"Forage has the highest digestibility<br />
in the vegetative stage,<br />
and is less digestible at seed stage.<br />
As the plant matures from vegetative<br />
to seed stage, the digestibility<br />
decreases and the amount of biomass<br />
available for harvest increases,"<br />
she says.<br />
Figure 1 shows that maximum<br />
yield of digestive dry matter. For<br />
grasses, the maximum yield of digestive<br />
dry matter would be obtained<br />
at the late boot to early head<br />
stage of maturity and for legumes,<br />
the mid-to late-bud stage of maturity<br />
is best.<br />
Taken from Schroeder, 1996,<br />
NDSU<br />
Research has shown that forage<br />
cut at or near sundown has higher<br />
energy compared to morning.<br />
"This is a natural physiological<br />
process in plants wherein concentrations<br />
of soluble carbohydrates<br />
and other highly digestible nutrients<br />
are highest after a full day of<br />
sunshine and photosynthesis,"<br />
Walker said.<br />
She adds that tall enough stubble<br />
height should be left to aid in<br />
drying as well as improves pickup<br />
performance.<br />
"However, too high of stubble<br />
height will reduce yields," she says.<br />
Correct hay curing (drying) is<br />
the next step. Walker says various<br />
factors can reduce hay quality during<br />
the drying phase, these include;<br />
respiration, weather and loss of<br />
leaves. Some tips she shares to<br />
speed up curing include; using a<br />
mower conditioner speeds drying<br />
by opening the waxy layer surrounding<br />
the stems in legumes;<br />
large and/or coarse stemmed forages<br />
have shown faster drying<br />
when conditioned. Wider swaths<br />
also allow for faster drying. Raking<br />
should be avoided if possible when<br />
the forage moisture is less than 40<br />
percent.<br />
Hay desiccants are used to reduce<br />
the amount of time required<br />
for hay drying. The commonly used<br />
hay desiccants are potassium carbonate<br />
or sodium carbonate, which<br />
are sprayed onto the hay during<br />
the cutting phase.<br />
Walker says hay desiccants are<br />
effective on alfalfa, clover and<br />
birdsfoot trefoil to remove the<br />
moisture-conserving waxy cutin<br />
layer of the plant, however, they<br />
are ineffective on grasses such as<br />
orchardgrass, timothy and<br />
bromegrass.<br />
"When considering using hay<br />
desiccants remember to include the<br />
cost of the chemical as well as the<br />
sprayer for application," she said.<br />
Walker adds that reducing leaf<br />
loss during the baling phase is key<br />
to maintaining quality.<br />
"Baling at moisture content<br />
above 15 percent, has less leaf loss<br />
than below 15 percent. Typical<br />
moisture content of the bales needs<br />
to be below 18 to 20 percent to prevent<br />
mold growth," she said. "When<br />
putting up hay with higher moisture<br />
content other management<br />
steps need to be implemented to<br />
ensure maintaining hay quality as<br />
well as reducing the risk of fire."<br />
Feed costs are a large portion of<br />
your annual cow cost, so managing<br />
the forage resource to get a quality<br />
hay product, which will reduce the<br />
need for additional supplementation,<br />
can ultimately reduce the feed<br />
bill. For more information visit,<br />

The Board of Jackson County Commissioners<br />
met in special session at 3:00<br />
p.m., Wednesday, May 30, 2012 in the<br />
Commissioner's Room of the Jackson<br />
County Courthouse. Chairman Jim Stilwell<br />
called the meeting to order with<br />
members Glen Bennett, Delores Bonenberger,<br />
Larry Denke and Ron Twiss present.<br />
The purpose of the meeting was to<br />
attend to matters that had arisen since<br />
the regular meeting.<br />
All motions carried unanimously unless<br />
otherwise noted.<br />
Bonenberger provided fliers obtained<br />
pertaining to open public meetings.<br />
Mitch Olney, Hwy. Supt., and Kolette<br />
Struble, Hwy. Sec. were present.<br />
Lease options for a John Deere 770 GP<br />
Series motor grader were provided by R<br />
D O Equipment. Total cost of the motor<br />
grader is $237,800 plus fees of $550.<br />
The information was reviewed.<br />
Mitch Olney reported that the transmission<br />
may be going out of the older CAT<br />
120 motor grader. He reported that the<br />
Volvo motor grader has been repaired<br />
and the mulcher has been removed from<br />
the front of the Volvo. Discussion was<br />
held on the mulcher not working properly.<br />
Chairman Stilwell deferred discussion of<br />
motor grader leasing to later in the meeting.<br />
Discussion was held on the mulcher<br />
quote presented by Sheehan Mack<br />
Equipment. The cost of the mulcher is<br />
$23,595. Mitch Olney reported that the<br />
disc is working well, but roads will have<br />
to be mowed now that grass has grown<br />
on shoulders. Stilwell reported that<br />
shoulders were pulled on a section of<br />
road, that the material was not spread,<br />
and was left overnight. He requested that<br />
the crew do shorter sections of road<br />
when pulling shoulders, and finish by the<br />
end of the day. Discussion was held on<br />
the county’s wheel packer. Discussion<br />
resumed on the mulcher quote. Bennett<br />
moved, Denke seconded, that Jackson<br />
County not purchase a mulcher or<br />
packer in 2012.<br />

Mitch Olney reported that there is approximately<br />
7,000 ton of county gravel<br />
stockpiled at the Bierle Pit, and inquired<br />
if the board would be interested in selling<br />
it to Haakon County. The board informed<br />
him they do not plan to sell the gravel, as<br />
it is needed in the northeast portion of the<br />
county.<br />
Mitch Olney reported that Dennis Sharp<br />
would be willing to sell gravel to the<br />
county at $0.60 per ton. The gravel<br />
would be near the Badlands Ranch Resort.<br />
Discussion was held on mining permit<br />
being obtained at the Guptill Pit to the<br />
west of Hwy. 44, and screened gravel<br />
from that pit to be used on the T. K.<br />
Sampson road.<br />
Mitch Olney reported that Dwight Deaver<br />
has informed him he may be terminating<br />
employment. Report was made that the<br />
current ad for Highway Maintenance<br />
Worker will be advertised until June 8th.<br />
Discussion resumed on the RDO Equipment<br />
motor grader lease options. Denke<br />
moved, Stilwell seconded, that Jackson<br />
County not purchase a motor grader at<br />
this time.<br />
At 5:18 p.m., Bennett moved, Denke seconded,<br />
that the board go into executive<br />
session to discuss personnel matters.<br />
Mitch Olney was called in to executive<br />
session at 6:00 p.m.<br />
At 6:35 p.m., Denke moved, Bonenberger<br />
seconded that the board come<br />
out of executive session. No action was<br />
taken.<br />
Bennett requested that an executive session<br />
be scheduled for personnel matters<br />
at the June 8th meeting.<br />
There being no further business to come<br />
before the board Twiss moved, Bonenberger<br />
seconded, that the meeting be<br />

Milk Matters<br />
MyPlate calls the former<br />
MyPyramid “Milk Group” the<br />
“Dairy Group”. Consuming dairy<br />
products provides health benefits<br />
such as improved bone health.<br />
Bone mass is built during childhood<br />
and adolescence, so the intake<br />
of dairy products during these<br />
years is especially important to<br />
bone health. It shows that milk<br />
matters.<br />
Foods in the Dairy Group provide<br />
nutrients that are vital for<br />
health and maintenance of your<br />
body. Calcium builds strong bones<br />
and teeth in children and youth. It<br />
also helps adults keep their bone<br />
mass so they do not develop weak<br />
bones and diseases like osteoporosis.<br />
Vitamin D is a nutrient that<br />
makes sure the body has proper<br />
levels of calcium and phosphorus,<br />
which help to build and maintain<br />
bones. Milk and soymilk that are<br />
fortified with vitamin D are good<br />
sources of this nutrient. Diets rich<br />
in potassium may help to maintain<br />
healthy blood pressure and reduce<br />
the risk of having a stroke.<br />
Some individuals are surprised<br />
to learn that youth and adults<br />
need more of the dairy group than<br />
children to promote good health.<br />
Dairy choices should be low-fat or<br />
fat-free to cut calories and saturated<br />
fat. How much is needed?<br />
Older children, teens and adults<br />
need 3 cups a day, while children 4<br />
to 8 years old need 2-1/2 cups, and<br />
children 2 to 3 years old need 2<br />
cups.<br />
Tips for making wise choices in<br />
the dairy group are as follows: Include<br />
low-fat or fat-free milk or<br />
calcium-fortified soymilk as a beverage<br />
at meals. If you currently<br />
drink whole milk, gradually switch<br />
to lower fat versions. This change<br />
cuts calories but doesn’t reduce<br />
calcium or other essential nutrients.<br />
If you drink cappuccinos or<br />
lattes ask for them with fat-free<br />
milk (skim) milk. Make fruit-yogurt<br />
smoothies in the blender. Top<br />
fruit salads and baked potatoes<br />
with low-fat yogurt instead of high<br />
fat toppings such as sour cream.<br />
Plan to use plain yogurt instead of<br />
sour cream for dip recipes.<br />
Can’t drink milk? If you avoid<br />
milk because of lactose intolerance,<br />
the most reliable way to get<br />
the health benefits of dairy products<br />
is to choose lactose-free alternatives<br />
within the Dairy Group,<br />
such as cheese, yogurt, lactose-free<br />
milk, or calcium-fortified soymilk<br />
(soy beverage) or consume the enzyme<br />
lactase before consuming<br />
milk.<br />
Milk matters. Parents who<br />
drink milk and eat dairy foods<br />
show their kids that it is important.<br />

Training day focuses<br />
on enhancing<br />
precepting skills<br />
Healthcare professionals are invited<br />
to take on the challenge and<br />
the reward of precepting students<br />
in rural settings. Not only will professionals<br />
foster student development,<br />
but also the connections<br />
made could aid medically underserved<br />
areas in South Dakota.<br />
Dr. Byron Crouse, MD, is the<br />
keynote speaker at the Rural Experiences<br />
for Health Professions Students<br />
(REHPS) Preceptor Training<br />
Day on Thursday, June 21 in<br />
Howard, South Dakota. The training<br />
day provides a free continuing<br />
education opportunity for healthcare<br />
professionals, as much as 5<br />
credits. There is still time to register<br />
by visiting the Yankton Rural<br />
Area Health Education Center<br />
website at: www.yrahec.org or by<br />
calling the AHEC office at 605-655-<br />
1400. The free conference will be<br />
held at the Maroney Commons in<br />
Howard. Please register by Monday,<br />
June 18.<br />
Crouse is joined by Dr. Richard<br />
Honke, MD, who practices in Parkston,<br />
and Diane Weber, PA-C, who<br />
practices in Martin, SD. Both<br />
Honke and Weber have precepted<br />
students for many years. Crouse is<br />
the first associate dean for rural<br />
and community health and the vice<br />
chair for educational programs in<br />
the Department of Family Medicine<br />
at the University of Wisconsin<br />
– Madison. Crouse has published<br />
and spoken on rural health topics<br />
and educational approaches in<br />
rural settings.<br />
Four healthcare and education<br />
professionals from South Dakota<br />
State University also will present<br />
information at the training day:<br />
Nicole Gibson, MS, NP-C; Renae<br />
Durfee, MS, NP-C; Robin Arends,<br />
MS, NP-BC; and Debra Farver,<br />
Pharm. D.<br />
“Students are more likely to return<br />
to facilities and communities<br />
where they have had rich positive<br />
experiences early in their training,”<br />
said Kassy Youmans, REHPS program<br />
manager for the Yankton<br />
Rural AHEC.<br />
The Preceptor Training Day sessions<br />
begin at 9 a.m. and conclude<br />
at 4 p.m. Sessions include: Giving<br />
Feedback, Interdisciplinary Team<br />
Training, Developing Skills in<br />

Injured hiker rescued at Badlands June 7<br />
Park Rangers received a 911 call<br />
from two European visitors at approximately<br />
10:30 a.m. on Thurs.,<br />
June 7 reporting an injured hiker<br />
on the Notch Trail. Park Rangers<br />
and the Interior Volunteer Fire Department<br />
were first on scene after<br />
hiking in about ¾ mile to find Dave<br />
Johnson a 57-year-old man from<br />
Audubon, Pennsylvania who had<br />
fallen, sliding into a crack and was<br />
experiencing severe leg and back<br />
pain along with numerous cuts and<br />
scrapes. He stated that he had<br />
started hiking at 7:30 a.m. and had<br />
been trapped and unable to get<br />
help until he was discovered.<br />
Multiple agencies responded to<br />
the incident including Kadoka and<br />
Philip Ambulance companies, Jackson<br />
County Sheriff’s officers and<br />
the South Dakota Highway Patrol.<br />
After assessing both his injuries<br />
and the situation, it was determined<br />
that the safest and most appropriate<br />
method of rescue would<br />
be by helicopter, especially considering<br />
the difficulty of bringing a litter<br />
down the wood/cable ladder<br />
that connects the upper and lower<br />
parts of the Notch Trail. Black<br />
Hills Life Flight was already on<br />
scene with both a flight nurse and<br />
paramedic having hiked in to provide<br />
advanced medical care. After<br />
the South Dakota Air National<br />
Guard arrived on scene, they were<br />
able to use a cable hoist to bring<br />
the victim to the Life Flight Helicopter<br />
for evacuation to Rapid City<br />
Regional Medical Center.<br />
Guard assists in rescue<br />
mission in National Park<br />
Four South Dakota Army National<br />
Guard Soldiers assisted in a<br />
rescue mission in Badlands National<br />
Park, near Interior, Thursday,<br />
June 7.<br />
The Soldiers, using a UH-72<br />
Lakota helicopter, conducted a<br />
cable-hoist extraction of a park visitor<br />
who was hiking, fell and was<br />
injured on Notch Trail, according to<br />
a National Park Service press release.<br />
Dave Johnson, 57, from<br />
Audubon, Penn., was hiking alone<br />
and when he ventured off the trail<br />
and slipped and slid into a crack,<br />
according to the release.<br />
Park officials stated he started<br />
hiking at 7:30 a.m. and had been<br />
trapped and unable to get help<br />
until he was discovered by other<br />
park visitors at approximately<br />
10:30 a.m. He was experiencing severe<br />
leg and back pain along with<br />
numerous cuts and scrapes.<br />
Park Rangers and the Interior<br />
Volunteer Fire Department were<br />
first on scene after hiking in about<br />
three quarters of a mile to find<br />
Johnson. Multiple agencies responded<br />
to the incident including<br />
Kadoka and Philip Ambulance<br />
companies, Jackson County Sheriff's<br />
officers and the South Dakota<br />
Highway Patrol.<br />
The call for assistance to the<br />
Guard came at about 11:30 a.m.,<br />
after Park Service and emergency<br />
response personnel determined<br />
that the safest and most appropriate<br />
method of rescue would be by<br />
helicopter, especially considering<br />
the difficulty of bringing a litter<br />
down the wood/cable ladder that<br />
connects the upper and lower parts<br />
of Notch Trail, according to the release.<br />
Incident command officials at<br />
the scene made the determination<br />
that the SDARNG's UH-72 Lakota<br />
helicopter had the right capabilities<br />
to extract the injured hiker.<br />
This was the South Dakota<br />
Guard's first live-rescue mission in<br />
the state with the new UH-72<br />
Lakota helicopter, which was<br />
fielded in May 2011. The Guard,<br />
along with the National Park Service<br />
and other agencies, trained for<br />
this exact scenario about a week<br />
earlier.<br />
"We trained for this type of scenario<br />
on May 30," said Chief Warrant<br />
Officer 4 Christian Frank,<br />
pilot-in-command. "That's how important<br />
the interagency coordination<br />
and training is. The rescue<br />
mission went very smooth."

network designed to assist members<br />
in the event of an emergency. There<br />
is no cost to join. There was no opposition<br />
by the council.<br />
B. Streets: Solon stated that the shop<br />
needs to have a new sewer line installed.<br />
In addition, the furnace is not working<br />
and it will be costly to repair as it is an<br />
old, fuel oil system. He will get quotes on<br />
both projects. The culvert at the Catholic<br />
Church was brought up and Solon stated<br />
that he would not recommend the installation<br />
of this culvert due to the length of<br />
it and that it would be too long for maintenance.<br />

possibility of additional street lighting<br />
being installed in certain areas. West<br />
Central Electric will be contacted about<br />
this concern.<br />
C. Solid Waste: no report. Solon stated<br />
that the gutters on the north side of the<br />
transfer station may need to be repaired<br />

MEETING<br />
JACKSON COUNTY<br />
DRIVER’S LICENSE<br />
SERVICES<br />
The Jackson County Commissioners are<br />
holding a public meeting at 8:00 p.m.,<br />
Friday, June 29, 2012 in the Courtroom<br />
of the Jackson County Courthouse, 700<br />
Main Street, Kadoka, SD. The purpose<br />
of the meeting is to obtain public input as<br />
to whether Jackson County should continue<br />
to provide driver’s licensing services<br />
for the S. D. Department of Public<br />
Safety.<br />
In 2004 Jackson County entered into an<br />
agreement with the S. D. Department of<br />
Public Safety to provide driver licensing<br />
services for the State of South Dakota.<br />
At the time Jackson County entered into<br />
the agreement with the State, the State<br />
provided driver licensing services in surrounding<br />
communities. The State has reduced<br />
or eliminated the service provided<br />
in those communities. This has created<br />
a larger work load for the Jackson<br />
County office(s) providing the services,<br />
and the cost to Jackson County is<br />
greater than the $5.00 per license fee<br />
that Jackson County retains for providing<br />
the service. Jackson County is considering<br />
hiring additional staff for the increased<br />
work load.<br />
Citizens come from up to one hundred<br />
miles away to obtain their driver’s licenses<br />
in Jackson County, and many<br />
chose to come to Jackson County instead<br />
of going to the state sites in other<br />
communities, Pierre or Rapid City.<br />
Jackson County requested that Jackson<br />
County be allowed to retain one-half of<br />
the license fees. The state has denied<br />
the request. State law does not allow the<br />
county to charge an additional fee.<br />
If additional funding is not found, the<br />
Jackson County Commissioners are considering<br />
discontinuing the driver licensing<br />
services.<br />

Rick Holm, M.D., Medical Editor<br />
In 1988 Arnold P. Gold MD, a<br />
physician educator at Columbia<br />
University, noted a disturbing<br />
trend for Medical Students and<br />
Residents. Students were overemphasizing<br />
advancing technology<br />
while forgetting about the value of<br />
a caring bedside manner. Indeed,<br />
a patient survey noted that 12% of<br />
patients believed their doctor<br />
didn’t know their name; 20% felt<br />
the doctor was rude or condescending;<br />
and 47% sensed their doctor<br />
was rushed.<br />
Dr. Gold wondered why this was<br />
happening and if there was a way<br />
to train young students in medicine<br />
to be more compassionate.<br />
How do you teach someone to have<br />
empathy and feel another’s pain?<br />
Thus the Gold Humanism In Medicine<br />
Foundation was begun in<br />
order to emphasize the virtue of<br />
caring and the value of simple<br />
kindness at the bedside. This is<br />
not just because it is the right<br />
thing to do, but also because it is a<br />
very powerful tool in helping patients<br />
and families heal as they<br />
struggle with any kind of illness.<br />
Humanism by definition started<br />
with the ancient Greeks, and ancient<br />
Chinese, Indians, and Persians,<br />
as each group,<br />
independently, thousands of years<br />
ago described value concepts of<br />
compassion and justice. In the late<br />
1400s and early 1500s the Italian<br />
Managing for Reproductive Success:<br />
Fertility Level of Semen Part III of a four-part Series<br />
Fertility is influenced by many<br />
factors, and one of the best methods<br />
to look at factors that influence<br />
fertility is with the 'Equation of Reproduction,'<br />
says George Perry,<br />
SDSU Extension Beef Reproductive<br />
Management Specialist.<br />
Perry explains that the 'Equation<br />
of Reproduction' includes the<br />
following four areas:<br />
•Percentage of animals detected<br />
in standing estrus and inseminated;<br />
•Inseminator efficiency;<br />
•Fertility level of the semen;<br />
•Fertility level of the herd.<br />
The first article focused on detecting<br />
standing estrus and inseminator<br />
efficiency was the focus of<br />
the second article in this four-part<br />
series on managing for reproductive<br />
success released by SDSU Extension.<br />
This is the third article in<br />
the series and will discuss fertility<br />
level of the semen.<br />
Fertility level of the semen<br />
The bull influences overall herd<br />
fertility more than any other single<br />
animal, and loss of fertility by a<br />
bull or straw of semen can cause<br />
substantial loss to a potential calf<br />
crop, Perry says.<br />
"The bull supplies half of the genetics<br />
to all of the calves he sires,<br />
and bull selection can be the most<br />
powerful method of genetic improvement<br />
in the herd," Perry said.<br />
"Clearly there are differences<br />
among bulls in their ability to<br />
achieve pregnancy success."<br />
Perry points to research conducted<br />
at the USDA-ARS research<br />
center in Miles City, Mont.<br />
This research has shown<br />
tremendous variation in pregnancy<br />
rates between bulls when they<br />
were used either in a fixed-time AI<br />
breeding program or used following<br />
detecting cows in estrus. However,<br />
all of these bulls in this study<br />
looked normal when evaluated<br />
under a microscope for motility and<br />
morphology.<br />
"For several decades seminal<br />
traits have been studied to try to<br />
predict reproductive success. Research<br />
is being conducted to identify<br />
characteristics of semen that<br />
influence fertility rates," he said.<br />
"The ability of sperm to become capable<br />
of fertilizing, binding and<br />
penetrating an oocyte all influence<br />
a bull's fertility."<br />
Perry says that research is underway<br />
to develop tests that will<br />
more accurately determine the fertility<br />
of individual bulls.<br />
"Our ability to predict the fertility<br />
of individual bulls either by a<br />
semen sample or a DNA sample<br />
may eventually be possible," he<br />
said. "Nevertheless, the only current<br />
method for determination of<br />
fertility differences between bulls<br />
requires the insemination of several<br />
thousand animals under the<br />
same management practices."<br />
Currently, Perry says the best<br />
method for cattle producers to acquire<br />
semen with good fertility is to<br />
buy it from a reputable source and<br />
make sure it has all been handled<br />
correctly.<br />
Fertility level<br />
and natural service<br />
With Natural service, physical<br />
characteristics, such as scrotal circumference,<br />
mating ability, and<br />
semen quality play a role in a bull's<br />
fertility," says Perry.<br />
He says the best way to determine<br />
these factors is through a<br />
Breeding Soundness examination<br />
(BSE). The American Society for<br />
Theriogenology developed mini-<br />
A Good Bedside Manner<br />
Renaissance brought back Greek<br />
teachings, classical humanities,<br />
and an ethical philosophy of social<br />
science. Hoping to bring all disciplines<br />
together they also studied<br />
the Jewish Kabbalah as well as<br />
the earliest Gospel writings of<br />
Christian forefathers.<br />
History has it, however, that eventually<br />
the humanism movement<br />
clashed with certain religious leaders<br />
who declared that “love of humanity”<br />
could not come from<br />
human reason alone but only from<br />
the divine. Humanism leaders, in<br />
contrast, came to reject any component<br />
of faith not supported by<br />
scientific proof. Unfortunately the<br />
polarized groups lost sight of the<br />
message about caring for one another.<br />
I like best the German Art Historian<br />
Erwin Panofsky’s definition of<br />
humanism as an attitude of respect<br />
for the human dignity between<br />
individuals. He said that<br />
humans are intrinsically free and<br />
rational but are limited by fallibility<br />
and frailty. We therefore have<br />
responsibility for each other to tolerate<br />
failings while protecting<br />
freedoms.<br />
God, grant me the wisdom and<br />
empathy to feel another’s pain; the<br />
responsibility to accept frailty<br />
while protecting freedom; and the<br />
kindness of a good bedside manner.<br />
mum guidelines for a bull to pass a<br />
BSE.<br />
To successfully complete a<br />
breeding soundness evaluation, a<br />
bull must have at least 30 percent<br />
sperm motility, 70 percent normal<br />
sperm morphology, and a minimum<br />
scrotal circumference based on age.<br />
Bulls meeting the preceding minimum<br />
requirements are classified<br />
as satisfactory potential breeders.<br />
If a bull does not pass one of these<br />
tests, he is classified as a "classification<br />
deferred" animal (meaning<br />
it is recommended that the bull be<br />
tested again) or he is classified as<br />
an unsatisfactory potential<br />
breeder. Bulls should be tested approximately<br />
one month to six<br />
weeks prior to the breeding season.<br />
"This allows for time to retest<br />
bulls if unsatisfactory results are<br />
obtained or time to find a replacement<br />
herd bull," Perry said.<br />
The overall purpose of the physical<br />
examination portion of a BSE<br />
is to determine a bull's mating ability.<br />
Mating ability can be described<br />
as the physical capabilities needed<br />
to successfully breed a cow. A bull<br />
must be able to see, smell, eat, and<br />
move normally to successfully<br />
breed cows. The physical examination<br />
closely scrutinizes a bull's<br />
eyes, teeth, feet, legs, and nutritional<br />
level (evaluated by body condition<br />
score). Any disease or injury<br />
that affects joints, muscles, nerves,<br />
bones, or tendons may cause a bull<br />
to be structurally unsound. In addition<br />
to structural unsoundness,<br />
diseases or injuries to the penis or<br />
prepuce can result in an inability to<br />
breed via natural service.<br />
"These abnormalities will only<br />
be detected by careful examination<br />
or observing an attempted mating<br />
of a cow. A bull that has high quality<br />
semen but is unable to physically<br />
breed cows is unsatisfactory<br />
for natural service," he said.<br />
Sperm motility and morphology<br />
Whether natural service or AI is<br />
used, Perry says two of the most<br />
important indicators of bull fertility<br />
currently available are sperm<br />
motility and morphology.<br />
"With AI identifying females in<br />
estrus and proper placement of<br />
semen are critical factors for obtaining<br />
desirable pregnancy rates<br />
in the cowherd; however, compromised<br />
semen quality through<br />
semen handling will negate the attention<br />
to detail of the two factors<br />
discussed previously," Perry said.<br />
"With natural service, structurally<br />
sound bulls with a large scrotal circumference<br />
and high semen quality<br />
should be selected as herd sires. It<br />
is important to remember that<br />
semen quality of an individual bull<br />
changes over time and, for a bull to<br />
be fertile, desire to find cows in estrus<br />
(see Managing For Reproductive<br />
Success: Detecting Estrus Part<br />
I) and mating ability should be<br />
evaluated periodically.<br />

USDA’s Crop Progress Report<br />
USDA’s latest crop progress report<br />
for the nation shows that an<br />
estimated 20% of the nation’s 2012<br />
winter wheat is harvested. Missouri<br />
is around 30% cut, with a<br />
normal harvest date of early July.<br />
Kansas is around 20% harvested.<br />
Wow, this is way is ahead of a 3%<br />
national average harvest rate for<br />
this time of the year! Looks like<br />
yields are decent also. 82% of the<br />
crop was rated fair to excellent.<br />
That means this year’s harvest is<br />
on track to be a big one … but not<br />
a record breaker.<br />
For South Dakota the early crop<br />
progress trend continues. Headed<br />
winter wheat in the state is estimated<br />
at 96% vs. a 5 year average<br />
of 52% for this time of the crop<br />
year. Also, SD spring wheat, barley<br />
and oats crop progress are all way<br />
ahead of the norms. The breakdown<br />
on winter wheat crop condition<br />
in the state is at: 35% rated<br />
fair; 46% rated as good and 11%<br />
excellent.<br />
Even planted corn throughout<br />
the state is earlier, with reports of<br />
the average at 12 inches tall, as of<br />
the June 10, SD Ag Statistical<br />
Progress Report vs. a five year average<br />
of 6 inches for the same time<br />
of the crop year. SD sunflowers are<br />
71% planted vs. the five-year average<br />
of 42% planted.<br />

Minimizing Losses<br />
in Hay Storage<br />
Many areas are experiencing<br />
low hay yields in 2012, and with<br />
hay prices at high levels, minimizing<br />
storage losses is increasingly<br />
important.<br />
One of the most economical hay<br />
production packages is large round<br />
bales. This is primarily because of<br />
low labor requirements. However,<br />
storage losses are often substantial.<br />
Making a well-formed, dense<br />
bale is the first step toward reducing<br />
storage losses. Moisture content<br />
at baling also plays an<br />
important role. If hay is too wet,<br />
quality can decrease due to heating<br />
and molds. Baling too dry can<br />
cause baler losses to increase dramatically.<br />
Round bales should be<br />
baled at 15 to 20 percent, with the<br />
ideal moisture content about 17<br />
percent.<br />
Storage method and length of<br />
storage period have a tremendous<br />
impact on weathering losses.<br />
Barn-stored hay suffers significantly<br />
less weathering loss than<br />
unprotected hay stored outside.<br />
Dry matter losses for barn-stored<br />
hay are typically in the 2- to 8-percent<br />
range. Covering outside<br />
stored hay can also reduce weathering.<br />
Hay stored outside will continue<br />
to deteriorate as long as it is<br />
stored, however most spoilage occurs<br />
early in the storage period.<br />
Large round bale storage losses<br />
can easily exceed 25 percent when<br />
bales are stored outside, unprotected,<br />
but losses can be minimized<br />
through good management.<br />
If outside storage is the chosen<br />
method, pay close attention to selecting<br />
a storage site and stacking<br />
method.<br />
A well-drained site minimizes<br />
deterioration on the bottom of the<br />
bale. Bales stored on damp soil absorb<br />
moisture that causes damage.<br />
If possible, elevate bales by stacking<br />
on old tires, shipping pallets or<br />
railroad ties. Adding a base layer<br />
of 3- to 4-inch crushed rock to the<br />
storage site will also help minimize<br />
losses at the bottom of bales.<br />
Storing bales on the ridge of a hill<br />
instead of near the bottom will also<br />
reduce bottom deterioration.<br />
Weeds or tall grass at the storage<br />
site will increase deterioration of<br />
the bottom of the bale.<br />
Round bales stored outside need<br />
air circulation and sunlight to help<br />
dry the outer layer after a rain.<br />
Storing the bales under trees<br />
blocks wind circulation and sunlight,<br />
which helps dry the bales.<br />

Any protection that trees might<br />
offer from rain is more than offset<br />
by the damage due to the shading<br />
they provide.<br />
Bales are sometimes stored individually<br />
without touching other<br />
bales for ease of handling with<br />
equipment that grabs the bale<br />
from both ends. If stored individually,<br />
leave at least 12-18 inches between<br />
bales for air circulation.<br />
Storing bales with the rounded<br />
sides touching is not recommended.<br />
This creates a trap for<br />
rain and snow. The bales may be<br />
easier to handle with some equipment,<br />
but losses will be higher.<br />
Tightly aligning bales end to end<br />
better utilizes storage area and<br />
protects the ends of the bales from<br />
weathering. Leave 12-18 inches<br />
between the rounded sides to avoid<br />
trapping rain or snow. Aligning<br />
rows north-south allows equal<br />
amount of sunlight on both sides of<br />
the row.<br />
Stacking bales in pyramids is<br />
popular to save space, but can result<br />
in high levels of loss due to<br />
rain and snow accumulation at the<br />
junction of the layers. Stacking<br />
bales by turning one bale on end,<br />
with another on top (rounded side<br />
up) reduces losses to nearly as low<br />
as bales stored in rows, one bale<br />
high, but also saves space. Plastic<br />
bale covers or bags can reduce<br />
losses, but they should be fastened<br />
securely to the bale so the wind<br />
will not tear them.<br />
