NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
Comprehensive Plan
The planning and zoning commission will meet to hold a pub-
lic hearing to receive comments on the proposed City of Kadoka
Comprehensive Plan on Wed., May 30 at 7:00 p.m. in the
Kadoka City Auditorium Annex. At this time any person(s) in-

employees.
Sanftner said Medicaid gave
each nursing home facility a one-
time payment, calculated on the
2010 Medicaid cost report. The
money was designated to be used
toward employees and each facility
could designate how they wanted
to apply the money. However, they
needed to send a letter to social
services letting them know how the
money was used.
This was a one-time bonus to
our employees and it was divided
by the longevity of the employees
working here, Sanftner said. She
said it also included the college
summer workers who will be re-
turning this summer.
One employee, Cathy Ireland,
has worked in the kitchen for over
10 years, was given a plant and a
card.
The meal was mainly provided
for those who volunteer at the
nursing home, the residents, staff
and board of directors.
Members of the board of direc-
tors were in charge of grilling burg-
ers, brats and hot dogs and they
also furnished the salads. The
nursing home purchased the meat,
buns and drinks and Ruby Sanft-
ner provided baked beans.
The evening ended with a small
tallet show -- piano, singing, hoola-
hoop and staff members singing.
In celebration of National Nurs-
ing Home Week, May 13-18, the
Kadoka Nursing Home hosted a
cookout Wednesday evening.
This was held for employees,
volunteers and their families and
the board of directors.
It was a successful joint effort,
said Ruby Sanftner. She said all
the volunteers were given thank
yous.

Storm damage A portion of the roof on the former drug store
building on Main Street was lost due to the high winds.
Storm damage The roof at Hogens Hardware was lost during
the rain and wind storm that hit Kadoka on Friday, May 11. Several years
ago the peaked roof was built over the flat roof. When the peaked roof was
lost during the storm, the flat roof prevented severe damage to the interior
of the building and its contents.

Larry Denke was absent.
Clements said the new patrol
unit for the deputy has arrived and
the necessary equipment and de-
vices are being installed.
Jackson County Auditor Vicki
Wilson presented the financial
statement. After discussion, a mo-
tion carried to transfer $100,000
into the highway department fund.
An updated chart of allowable
fees to be charged for records
through the Register of Deeds of-
fice was presented. These fees are
set SD Codified Law.
Currently the county receives
the 911 surcharge fees collected by
the telephone companies. In the fu-

submit those funds to the state
treasurer and then they will dis-
tribute the funds to the counties.
A hearing was conducted for a
special malt beverage permit for
the Interior Roping Club for a spe-
cial event on July 4, 5 and 6. The
permit was approved, with Com-
missioner Ronnie Twiss abstaining.
A service agreement was ap-
proved with GenPro for semi-an-
nual inspections of the generator in
the amount of $265.
Discussion was held on the
amount of time spent by Register of

ters at 1:30 p.m. with Mitch Olney
and Kolette Struble. They returned
to open session at 1:47 p.m. with no
action taken.
Tom DeVries inquired as to what
the procedure would be to close a
section line north of his place. De-
Vries stated that no utilities are lo-
cated along the road and a culvert
is bad and is partial caved in.
Mitch Olney said the road is not
on the county road system.
The commissioners informed
DeVries that since no utilities were
located there and since it was not
in the road system, he could put up
a gate and close the road to traffic.
Information was presented from
RDO on a road grader that was
leased by the City of Sioux Falls
with 72 hours on it. The grader
would be eligible to be financed for
six payments in the amount of
$43,875.47.
The commissioners also dis-
cussed purchasing a road mulcher
or a packer. The possibility of trad-
ing or selling the Volvo road grader
was also considered.
After much discussion and re-
view of the budget, the commis-
sioners requested Olney to contact
RDO to ask if they would hold the
grader until a final decision could
be made at the June meeting.
Struble said the copier at the
county shop is no longer operating.
The commissioners approved the
purchase of a new one.
Olney stated the Kevon Herren
would be done working on Friday,
May 18.

ecutive session at 3:40 p.m. for per-
sonnel matters and returned to

Read Luke 24:36-49
Salvation 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 we
continue to struggle with sin, it is a defeated foe. Then
as 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 lacking
passion and failing to grow. How is such a thing possible? Tragically, many believers are unaware of the
essential 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. The
opening 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 earn
or 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 came
so 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 circumstances
but rather the joy and contentment possible through a relationship with Him. If you're lacking in this
area, consider your understanding of the Holy Spirit, and pray to be in tune with His promptings.

Several children gathered on
April 18 to observe Operation Mili-
tary Kids (OMK), a statewide
awareness program geared toward
the children of military personnel.
They act as a support system for
children and youth when their mil-
itary parent(s) are deployed over-
seas.
The young children participated
in a parade around the library, sto-
ries and a blanket activity where
children each held an edge of a
blanket representing our commu-
nity, and learned that everyone has
to help hold-up the blanket (com-
munity) when military community
members are deployed and must
leave their jobs.

Memories of a
Veteran
My grandpa is a Veteran,
Im very proud of him.
He fought bravely in the war,
And helped us all to win.
He has memories, I know he does.
Hes told me one or two.
I never get tired of hearing them,
I could listen to them through
and through.
As I said, I am proud
Of all that you went through.
And if you ever read this,
Im so glad to have a grandpa
like you!
Signed Love you!

appreciate a good nurse. Its just
that one cant normally walk up to
someone and give them a big hug
without expecting some repercus-
sions. Theyd think you went
bonkers, in the first place. They
might also take offense.
Who came up with that silly
sign? was my next thought. It
wasnt a local person since the sign
was professionally done and obvi-
ously sent in from somewhere.
Maybe they were just thinking
metaphorically instead of literally,
but I somehow suspect there might
have been a better way to promote
the nursing profession. Thank a
nurse, might have been more ap-
propriate or something in that
vein.
Quite a few signs give me
pause. Take the one on the hill
going down into a nearby city. It
says something like, Unmuffled
Dynamic Compression Braking
Prohibited. When I first saw that
sign I thought, What on earth are
they talking about? Can I do that?
Am I doing that? Whats the
penalty? Being curious, I natu-
rally called Loren since he is a
sponge about such technical infor-
mation. It also sounded like some-
thing he might have done or at
least know about. Sure enough, he
had done it. When I asked him, I
got a full report about it being com-
monly known as Jake braking
after the inventor. Its a way diesel
trucks slow themselves through
engine compression in order to
save their regular brakes. Prohibi-
tion is because it makes a loud ob-
noxious sound. Good enough. My
Ford Explorer is neither a diesel
nor a truck so I was safe.
Then there are those signs that
just seem to bug me for no good
reason. Take the one in clinics that
says, Should any patient wish to
discuss fees or charges, you are en-
couraged to ask about them. This
may not be wrong grammatically,
but it is awkward and seems to
start out hypothetically and then
switch midstream. I think I could
write a better notice than that.
Maybe something like, If you
have a question about fees or
charges, please ask about them.
Not that it would make any differ-
ence in what you are charged, of
course.
Other people are often amused
or irritated by signs as well. As a
result, they take pictures of them
and post them on Facebook or else-
where on the Internet. For in-
stance, there is the photo of a
normal Stop sign with a smaller
white sign below saying, No Stop-
ping Anytime. You cant have it
both ways. Another says, En-
trance Only. Do Not Enter. Hows
that again? I also like the one that
says, Speed Limit 14 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 you
dont make a U-turn, you have to
go on a roundabout drive that
leads nowhere or out of town but
certainly not anywhere you want
to go. As a result, no one pays any
attention and illegal turns are the
norm.
That is similar to my college
which liked to post notices that
there should be No Walking on
the Grass. That might work in
some countries where people be-
have properly, but not in the U S of
A. We here are more apt to walk on
the grass if there is a notice saying
we shouldnt than if there isnt.
This is especially so since there is
no real penalty involved if you do.
I figure if they cant make side-
walks that go directly from one
place to another, they deserve to
have their grass walked on. After
all, the shortest distance between
two points is a straight line and
not a colorful stroll over winding
indirect pathways.
I particularly hate signs that
warn you about or prohibit stuff
using symbols I dont understand.
On the freeway, there is one show-
ing the back end of a vehicle with
swerving tracks behind it. I looked
that up once and think it means
slippery when wet, but I always
forget exactly what it means and
just grumble around when I see it.
If they mean the road is slippery
when wet, why doesnt the sign
just say that instead of implying it
through some vague symbol?
By the way, if you want to hug a
nurse, youre too late. Hug-a-nurse
week was earlier this month.
Never mind. You can still make il-
legal U-turns, walk on the grass,
and do a bit of unmuffled dynamic
compression braking. Sounds like
fun. Lets get right on out there
and ignore or disobey signs or at
least grumble about them quite a
bit.

Brisa Badure celebrated her
birthday in Kadoka at the park on
Wednesday. Several friends came,
and Dana had a hidden objects
craft for them to make. Several
small items were placed inside a
glass jar, along with pea gravel,
until the jar was full. Then the
child (or parent!) can spend hours
rolling and tipping the jar, trying to
find all the tiny pieces. They pro-
vide great road trip entertainment,
too!
Ann Day from Manchester, Eng-
land is back this year to visit the
Fortune ranch. Her friend, Claire,
came with her, too. They landed
late Thursday, had a day to catch
their breath, and spent all day in
the saddle on Saturday, trailing
Bob and Charlie Fortunes year-
lings from the ranch down to the
Carr place, south and west of
White River. Bobs brother-in-law,
Mark Nelson, from Philip was also
down to help, along with Chad
Davis and Grady, Garrett, and
Gage Davis, and of course Abby
Fortune. The weather was nice and
cool, and the yearlings traveled
well. There were a few rain show-
ers through the day, but not
enough to cause any discomfort.
Badures branded on Tuesday.
Several neighbors came including
Wade Fox, Frank and Jesse Carl-
son, Pam and Mackenzie Word,
Charlie and Abby Fortune, Richard
Jobgen, Casey Jensen, Colter and
Abby Carlson, Francie Davis and
sons, Jerry Grimes, and many oth-
ers. There was a slight breeze all
day which helped keep the heat
factor down. Brianna Badure is
home from college, and enjoyed get-
ting back into the fray and
wrestling with her dad, Baxter.
Brisa and Martin Badure enjoyed
helping mom, Dana, mark the
calves after they had their vaccina-
tions. After the branding, everyone
gathered back at Allens new pole
shed, which is attached to his
house, for lunch. It still has a dirt
floor, but Allen said as soon as they
get the cement poured, they will
have a dance in it.
Mike Blom received a new order
of eight ducklings this week. He
said that they are completely im-
practical, but so much fun to
watch. He is hoping these live
longer than the ducks he had two
years ago. They would come up
from his stock pond every time he
turned the sprinkler on in his yard,
and they would have a insanely
good time running through the
sprinkler. Several neighbor kids
have enjoyed getting to feed those
ducks as well. Sydney Addison
came over with her dad DJ on Sat-
urday and helped catch the duck-
lings and put them into a small
cage so Mike could clean out their
tank. The little ducks make an in-
credible mess, and really make a
stink if Mike doesnt clean the tank
at least every couple of days.
Francie Davis left for Minneapo-
lis with Chads mom and sister on
Thursday. They visited family out
there, attended a baby shower and
a wedding shower, and enjoyed the

ladies that she is going to have to
go back and see again soon. How-
ever, she will find a driver again as
the traffic in Minneapolis is just a
tad bit busier than Belvidere traf-
fic!
Ronda Dennis attended gradua-
tion in Kadoka on Sunday and af-
terwards Ronda and Rick went to

Tuesday of every month through
the summer.

The difference between working
with people or animals who want to
do something, versus working with
people or animals who don't is
amazing, says Dr. Tom Noffsinger,
a large animal veterinarian and
low-stress livestock handling con-
sultant.
"We've all seen lots of people ask
cattle to do things in a way that
took away the cattle's self-esteem,"
says Noffsinger, who has practiced
low-stress cattle handling, and
taught feed yard and commercial
cattle producers the technique for
more than 10 years. "Our goal is to
create voluntary cattle movement."
Dr. Noffsinger says the key to
getting cattle to want to go where
the cattle producer wants them to
go is based on the cattle producer's
ability to understand cattle and ef-
fectively communicate with them.
He will introduce cattle producers
to low-stress handling techniques
and teach them how to effectively
communicate with their cattle dur-
ing a seminar at the Tri-County Ag
Day June 8 beginning at 10:30 a.m.
at the SDSU Cottonwood Research
Station.
"Each time cattle change their
address, cattle producers need to
see that time as an opportunity to
increase cattle confidence in where
they live," says Noffsinger, of work-
ing with young calves, moving cat-
tle for branding, weaning, or after
purchase and feed yard arrival.
Along with reducing the labor
force needed to move and work cat-
tle, low-stress cattle handling is
proven to have a positive impact on
the bottom-line.
"It increases their feed intake,
improves immune function and dis-
ease resistance," Noffsinger said.
"It also creates honesty in cattle, so
they communicate their true state
of health, instead of hiding lame-
ness and signs of illness."
More Tri-County Ag Day details
There is a $25 registration fee for
the Low-Stress Cattle Handling
seminar; it covers all members of
the 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 would
encourage adults and youth who
work with livestock to all attend
the seminar together.
Along with the seminar, Tri-
County Ag Day also includes a
trade show, which will open at 10
a.m. and run to about 8 p.m. The
trade show is open to the public.
Tri-County Ag Day includes a
poster session featuring SDSU re-
search projects and Extension pro-
grams. Participants will have an
opportunity to visit with SDSU re-
searchers and Extension Special-
ists about current research and
projects South Dakota State Uni-
versity is working on. Participants
are encouraged to share ideas for
research and future programming.
An Ag Appreciation Banquet
will be held at 6 p.m. to thank area
producers. The banquet is spon-
sored by area business; SDSU ice
cream will be served. Everyone is
invited to attend, even if you can't
make it to the low-stress livestock
handling seminar. Please come and
enjoy the meal and an opportunity
to visit with vendors at the trade
show.

Please make safe choices as you
travel, and please follow traffic
laws that are in place to help keep
all of us safe.
The Governor encourages driv-
ers to:
Follow speed limits. It is not
safe to travel faster than posted
speed limits.
Wear a seatbelt. As the Office
of Highway Safety slogan says,
Someone needs you. Buckle up.
Avoid drinking and driving.
Avoid distractions.
Slow down through construc-
tion zones, not only because fines
are double in those zones but also
for your own safety and the safety
of highway workers.
Gov. Dennis Daugaard is asking
motorists to be extra cautious on
South Dakota highways during the
upcoming Memorial Day weekend.
South Dakota highways have
been fatality-free during this three-
day holiday weekend the last two
years. In 2011, however, 30 people
were injured in 123 crashes. Eight
of those crashes were alcohol-re-
lated, according to statistics from
the State Office of Highway Safety.
Memorial Day weekend is the
kickoff for the summer travel sea-
son, and highways will almost cer-
tainly be busier than usual with
many families traveling during the
holiday period, Gov. Daugaard
said. I hope everyone has a great
time with family and friends.
Governor urges safe travel
for Memorial Day weekend

happy he got the privilege to go.
Chance said that he enjoyed see-

he had fun eating all you can eat

Both Brandon and Austin liked
the Lazy E arena and the National

Citizen Input: No one was present to ad-
dress the council.
NEW BUSINESS:
A. Planning/Zoning Commission: Ken
Wilmarth addressed the council to give
an update of the planning/zoning com-
mission. He stated that they have a draft
completed of a comprehensive plan for
the city of Kadoka. A public meeting is re-
quired for the commission to give a pres-
entation to the citizens and address
concerns and answer any questions the
public may have regarding the plan. Ten-
tatively, the public hearing is scheduled
for May 30, 2012. Justin Otsea, from the
Central South Dakota Enhancement Dis-
trict has been working with the commis-
sion on this plan and stated that it is a 20
to 30 year plan and encompasses all
areas of the city.
B. Auditorium Sound System: Bob Fu-
gate discussed the current sound system
in the auditorium. He stated that currently
the sound is not evenly distributed and
depending on where someone is sitting,
they may or may not be able to hear
everything that is taking place. The cur-
rent sound system was a joint venture
between the city and the school and the
school advised him that someone is
coming out from Mid-States Audio to look
at the system and propose changes and
upgrades that can be done to improve
the quality of the sound. In addition to
talking to the City, he stated that he has
discussed funding for the improvements
with KCBA, and plans to talk to Horizons.
The music parents have also expressed
an interest in being involved with the proj-
ect. He will also discuss the matter at a
future school board meeting, when he
has more information from Mid-States
Audio.
C. Ruby Sanftner: Ruby stated that the
nursing home project is approx. 82%
completed. The sidewalks are done, the
fire sprinklers are in and the bathroom
project is in progress. She then ad-
dressed a request on behalf of the
Catholic Church related to the ditch and
culvert system in the front of the Church.
She stated that the Church would like to
trench out the ditch, and put in a new cul-
vert (approx. 20 to 30 feet in length).
They would then like to put rock in over
the culvert to allow for more parking.
Solon stated that he is concerned about
the length of the culvert and problems
that would be caused by freezing in the
winter. Jorgensen stated that he believes
that the city should inspect the location,
and review current city ordinances prior
to any decision being made.
D. Fire Alarm System/Auditorium: The
city received an estimate of $15,000.00
to install a fire alarm system in the audi-
torium. However, South Dakota law re-
quires that a registered, professional
engineer design all fire alarm systems, in
buildings the size of the auditorium. Sev-
eral firms were suggested. The council
stated that they would like to receive
quotes from the various firms in order to
determine who would do the engineering
work on the project. The project plan is
to proceed and complete the engineering
work in 2012 and install the actual sys-
tem in June of 2013. The quotes will be
obtained and presented to the council for
review and approval at a future meeting.
E. Budget Motion/CDBG Funds: The city
was awarded a $145,000.00 Community
Development Block Grant for the pur-
pose of installation of the fire sprinkler
system at the nursing home. Shuck
made Motion 12-05-14:63 to approve an
increase to the citys 2012 budget in the
amount of $145,000.00 to reflect receipt
of Community Development Block Grant
Funds for the Kadoka Nursing Home Fire
Sprinkler System Installation Project. The
motion was seconded by Jorgensen. A
roll call vote was taken, with all members
voting yes and the motion carried 6-0.
F. Building Permit/Glenn Freeman: A
building permit was presented to the
council for approval. After discussion,
Jorgensen made Motion 12-05-14:64 to
approve the building permit, contingent
upon a review of the site by Solon and
Riggins and their approval. The motion
was seconded by Willert, with all mem-
bers voting yes and the motion carried 6-
0.
G. Finance Office Storage: The room in
the auditorium that formerly housed the
schools weight room is vacant. Cur-
rently, music dept. items are being kept
in the room. In addition, the city is in need
of additional space to store their financial
records. It was determined that shelving
built along one wall would be sufficient to
resolve the citys storage problem and
would leave most of the room for music
items to be stored for the school. The fi-
nance officer and Mr. Shuck stated that
they could easily resolve the issue to the
benefit of both the city and the school.
COUNCIL REPORTS:
A. Water/Sewer: The manhole on Locust
Street has been installed.
B. Streets: The asphalt project on Locust
Street is scheduled for Thursday, May
17, 2012. The council gave their approval
for Solon to purchase additional asphalt
for repairs on other streets in the city. The
street on the west side of the Nursing
Home was again discussed. The street
needs to be fixed and the question was
who was responsible for the cost. No de-
cision or action was taken.
C. Solid Waste: Prang had no report.
Willert stated that the door between the
office and main area of the transfer sta-
tion needs to be replaced. Jackie Stilwell,
on behalf of Horizons, requested that
there be a two week period designated
for city-wide clean up. The dates sug-
gested are May 29, 2012 through June
9, 2012. The council gave their approval
and Horizons will put the ad in the paper.
D. Liquor: The alarm system malfunc-
tioned and repairs have been done and
it is working correctly now. The main cost
for the repairs will be travel expense for
the service technician to come and do
the repair work. There will be a dance on
May 19, 2012.
E. Auditorium/Park: Word had no report.
Shuck discussed mosquito spraying.
F. Public Safety: The monthly report was
distributed.
G. Mayors Report: no report
Shuck made Motion 12-05-14:65 to ad-
journ. The motion was seconded by
Prang, with all members voting yes and
the meeting was adjourned at 8:27 p.m.

To show our appreciation for
those who serve in the U.S. Mili-
tary, on May 19 Armed Forces
Day the National Park Service
will begin issuing an annual pass
offering free entrance to all 397 na-
tional parks for active duty mili-
tary members and their
dependents.
We honor the sacrifices our
warriors and their families have
made to this country. I know a visit
to the Badlands can bring peace
and happiness when we need it the
most, said Badlands National
Park Superintendent Eric Brunne-
mann.
Visitors are encouraged to at-
tend one of the daily ranger pro-
grams offered May 29 through
September 10. Fossils Talks and
Junior Ranger Programs are espe-
cially popular for families with chil-
dren. The Night Sky Program is a
must-see and is held Friday
through Monday after the 9 pm
Evening Ranger Program in the
Cedar Pass Campground. For more
information on planning a visit, see
www.nps.gov/badl.
Active duty members of the U.S.
Military and their dependents can
pick up their pass at any Badlands
National Park entrance booth.
They must show a current, valid
military identification card to ob-
tain their pass. More information is
available at www.nps.gov/finda-
park/passes.htm. Minuteman Mis-
sile National Historic Site does not
charge an entrance fee, so passes
are not required but can be picked
up at Badlands.
Minuteman Missile National
Historic Site tells a contemporary
military story that is directly con-
nected to our airmen at neighbor-
ing Ellsworth Air Force Base,
stated Superintendent Ruben An-
drade.
Minuteman Missile will offer
tours of its Delta-1 Launch Control
Center daily at 10:00 a.m. and 2:00
p.m. Missile silo Delta-9 (I-90, Exit
116) is also open to the public daily
from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tour tickets
are given out on a first come, first
served basis by coming to the Visi-
tor Center, located in Cactus Flat,
off I-90 at Exit 13, adjacent to the
Conoco gas station.
This military version of the
America the Beautiful National
Parks and Federal Recreational
Lands Pass also permits free en-
trance to sites managed by the U.S.
Fish & Wildlife Service, the Bureau
of Land Management, the Bureau
of Reclamation, and the U.S. For-
est Service. The pass is also avail-
able at these locations.
Through the years, military
members, especially those far from
home in times of conflict, have
found inspiration in Americas pa-
triotic icons and majestic land-
scapes, places like the Statue of
Liberty and the Grand Canyon
that are cared for by the National
Park Service and symbolize the na-
tion that their sacrifices protect,
said National Park Service Direc-
tor Jonathan B. Jarvis. This new
pass is a way to thank military
members and their families for
their service and their sacrifices.
National parks and the military
have strong ties going back to the
establishment of Yellowstone as the
worlds first national park in 1872.
The U.S. Cavalry watched over
Americas national parks and did
double duty, serving as the first
park rangers until the National
Park Service was created 44 years
later. During World War II, many
parks were set aside for the train-
ing and care of military personnel.
Today, dozens of national parks
commemorate military battles and
achievements.
Thanking Americas armed forces active duty U.S.
military offered free entrance to all national parks

Thank you to so many of you...
community friends and neighbors
who helped remove and clean up
debris from last Fridays storm.
Much of the debris and wind-rav-
aged roofing materials had to be
picked up by hand and fortunately
many willing and generous hands
gave a speedy response and Main
Street was quickly cleared.
Saturday, again thanks to the ef-
forts of many willing helpers, the
bulk of our storm-ravaged roof was
cut apart, drug out, loaded and
hauled off.
Thank you, each and
everyone of you,

Foliar Fungicides for
Wheat Scab and Late
Rust Infestations
Wheat producers will want to
watch the weather forecast and
monitor the Fusarium Head
Blight Risk Assessment Tool
2012:http://www.wheatscab.psu.e
du/riskTool_2012.html over the
next few weeks. With wet weather
during anthesis (flowering) and
the early stages of grain develop-
ment, any wheat field can be in-
fected with scab to some degree,
but those at highest risk are
planted into corn, grain sorghum,
millet or wheat residue.
The 2012 prediction tools pro-
vide daily estimates of risk for
Fusarium head blight based on
weather the past seven days. Fo-
liar fungicide applications will also
provide protection against late
season rust infestations, and the
risk of leaf and/or stripe rust may
influence those decisions.
Progression of rusts moving up
from the south can be monitored
by visiting the USDA Cereal Dis-
ease Laboratory: http://www.ars.
usda.gov/Main/docs.htm?docid=97
57. The most current information
can be found at the link, Reports
on the Current Rust Situation in
the U.S. Information during the
previous two weeks is summarized
in the most recent 2012 Cereal
Rust Bulletin. 2012 Rust Obser-
vation Maps are updated as re-
ports are received.

recommendations, access South

mendations: http://pubstorage.sd-

HOSTA Tractor
Safety Schools
The HOSTA, or Hazardous Oc-
cupation and Safety Training in
Agriculture, program is alive and
well in South Dakota. SDSU Ex-
tension was waiting to see how the
US Department of Labors pro-
posed youth farm labor rule would
fare before making plans to con-
duct the program. The proposed
rule, which would have signifi-
cantly tightened restrictions on
youth performing hired farm labor,
even on farms owned and operated
by their parents, was recently
withdrawn.
Plans are in place to build on
the current program, which is out-
lined on the SDSU HOSTA web-
site:http://www.sdstate.edu/abe/ex
tension/hosta/index.cfm, but for
now, will be conducted much as it
has been for several years. The
Hazardous Occupations Order in
Agriculture (HOOA) law states
that any individual who is 14 to 15
years old must be trained on the
safe operation of tractors, farm
machinery, and other hazardous
activities in the agricultural indus-
try. 14 to 15-year-old youths who
are 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, June
8 at the Winner Regional Exten-
sion Center, and Monday, June 11
at the Ag & Biosystems Engineer-
ing Building on the SDSU Campus
in Brookings. One or more addi-
tional locations are being consid-
ered.
The sessions will begin at 10:00
am with classroom instruction
until noon, at which time the
youth attending will take the writ-
ten test. The afternoon will be
used to conduct the skills and driv-
ing tests which are required to
qualify for a HOSTA certificate in
addition to passing the written
test. 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 are
welcome to attend the training,
complete the written, skills and
driving tests, and their certificate
will be mailed to them when they
turn 14. Youth who only work on
their family farm or otherwise do
not need a HOSTA certificate are
also welcome to attend. Youth de-
siring a HOSTA certificate should
study the 48 core task sheets on
the HOSTA website, on which the
written test is based, and which
satisfies the 24 hours of instruc-
tion previously required.

ANNUAL CROP
CERTIFICATION
The next phase of the Farm Pro-
gram is crop certification. This en-
tails producers/operators and
landowners (getting a share of the
crop) are reporting planted AND
crops to be planted for crop year
2012 to their local FSA County Of-
fice.
The process will be that the
County Office is calling produc-
ers/operators to set up appoint-
ments to do this. Of course, if you
want in sooner-if you have a Fed-
eral Crop worked wheat loss, for
example, just give us a call. Dead-
line to report acres is 7/15.
Every year, at crop reporting,
we see instances of new breaking
that was NOT reported to FSA.
Remember, the sod/swamp provi-
sions require you to report any
new breaking or drainage work
PRIOR to doing these activities.
This is so that the ground can be
evaluated and determined if
highly erodible or a wetland and if
need a conservation compliance
plan, etc.

like the junior class ushers,
Katie Lensegrav and Mariah
Pierce, who stretch the style
from flat to high.
