by the council.
B. Streets: Solon stated that the shop
needs to have a new sewer line installed.
In addition, the furnace is not working
and it will be costly to repair as it is an
old, fuel oil system. He will get quotes on
both projects. The culvert at the Catholic
Church was brought up and Solon stated
that he would not recommend the installation
of this culvert due to the length of
it and that it would be too long for maintenance.
A question was raised about the
possibility of additional street lighting
being installed in certain areas. West
Central Electric will be contacted about
this concern.
C. Solid Waste: no report. Solon stated
that the gutters on the north side of the

NOTICE OF PUBLIC
MEETING
JACKSON COUNTY
DRIVER’S LICENSE
SERVICES
The Jackson County Commissioners are
holding a public meeting at 8:00 p.m.,
Friday, June 29, 2012 in the Courtroom
of the Jackson County Courthouse, 700
Main Street, Kadoka, SD. The purpose
of the meeting is to obtain public input as
to whether Jackson County should continue
to provide driver’s licensing services
for the S. D. Department of Public
Safety.
In 2004 Jackson County entered into an
agreement with the S. D. Department of
Public Safety to provide driver licensing
services for the State of South Dakota.
At the time Jackson County entered into
the agreement with the State, the State
provided driver licensing services in surrounding
communities. The State has reduced
or eliminated the service provided
in those communities. This has created
a larger work load for the Jackson
County office(s) providing the services,
and the cost to Jackson County is
greater than the $5.00 per license fee
that Jackson County retains for providing
the service. Jackson County is considering
hiring additional staff for the increased
work load.
Citizens come from up to one hundred
miles away to obtain their driver’s licenses
in Jackson County, and many
chose to come to Jackson County instead
of going to the state sites in other
communities, Pierre or Rapid City.
Jackson County requested that Jackson
County be allowed to retain one-half of
the license fees. The state has denied
the request. State law does not allow the
county to charge an additional fee.
If additional funding is not found, the
Jackson County Commissioners are considering
discontinuing the driver licensing
services.
For persons unable to attend this meeting,
written comments may be sent to:
Jackson County Commission, PO Box
280, Kadoka, SD 57543

D. Liquor: no report.
E. Auditorium/Park: The pool is open and
the lifeguards completed certification
training.
F. Public Safety: The monthly report was
distributed.
G. Mayor’s Report: The mayor stated
that there were no changes to the committee
assignments and preliminary
budget worksheets for 2013 were distributed
in the council packets.
Willert requested permission to attend
the Elected Officials workshop to be held
in Pierre.
Shuck made Motion 12-06-11:72 to adjourn.
The motion was seconded by
Willert, with all members voting yes and
the meeting was adjourned at 8:15 p.m.

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