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.

When the peaked roof was lost during the storm, the flat roof prevented severe damage to the interior of the building and its contents. --photos by Robyn Jones Time to say goodbye to the walls of KAHS Twenty high school seniors took time for one last class photo before graduation on Sunday, May 20.

Commissioner 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- ture the telephone companies will 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 Deeds Mitzi Mitchell to do a drivers license exam. Most of the fees collected are submitted to the SD Dept. of Public Safety. Wilson will draft a letter to the SD Dept. of Public Safety requesting a repre- sentative from their office attend a meeting to address this concern. The commissioners entered ex- ecutive session for personnel mat- 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. The commissioners went into ex- ecutive session at 3:40 p.m. for per- sonnel matters and returned to open session at 3:50 p.m. Motions carried to advertise for the highway maintenance position and to continue to advertising for the clerk position for the assessor office.

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.

Peggy Johnson was born May 12, 1928, in New Underwood, the daughter of Sam and Lila (Pack- man) Johnson. She was raised in Wall and graduated from Wall High School in 1946. She then went on to Black Hills Teachers College and got her teaching certificate. Peggy married Jack Benne on December 28, 1949, in Wall. Jack was in the Army and then worked for the conservation service. With his work they moved often, so she taught in several places: Buffalo, Wyo., Philip, Quinn, Wall and Hot Springs. After her husband Jack died in 1970, she moved her family to Wall, where she worked for the Wall School District until she took a job with the postal service. She retired from the postal service in 1986. After retiring, she filled her time by working at Wall Drug, spending time with her family and friends, watching her grandkids sports, and she always had something baked to share for whoever stopped by. Survivors include her sons, Kim (Candy) Benne and Sam (Joyce) Benne, both of Rapid City; two daughters, Tammy (Keith) Vosler of Country Club Hills, Ill., and Jamie (Don) Jorgensen of Sloan, Iowa; 15 grandchildren Ryan (Kerri) Benne, Kamala (Will) Williams, Kalli Benne, Jack (Alexis) Benne, Matthew, Cole, Kyle, and Cody Benne, Michael, Ricky, Jonathon, Mikayla and Kat- lyn Vosler, and Kendra and Blake Jorgensen; and three great-grand- children. In addition to her husband Jack, Peggy was preceded in death by her parents; her sister, Norrie Phillips and her husband, Glenn; a brother, Bud Johnson and his wife, Merle; and sister, Norma Kennedy and her husband, Bryce.

Tollefson to speak at Belvideres annual Memorial Day program, May 28 Hug a nurse, directed the sign in our local hospital the other day. This was in connection with nurse- appreciation week or nurse-aware- ness week or some such thing. Not a good idea, I thought to my- self. Its not that I dont value or 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. Signs of the Times Lookin Around by Syd Iwan When youre angry, pretend you are a bird. Sing just a little but dont say a word. Last Sunday afternoon, May 13, the DNP Quilters in Mission cele- brated Laurene Emerys birthday with cake and tea.

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 long weekend away. Francie also held an Arbonne workshop while she was there, and met some great 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!

The girls were dressed in their long dresses they wore to the Pioneer Sup- per. --photo by Ronda Dennis 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.

Gardening by Kids 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.

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.

Wilson Jackson County Auditor [Published May 24 & 31, 2012, at the total approximate cost of $52.72] 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 Local & Statewide Classified Advertising May 24, 2012 Kadoka Press Page 11 AUCTIONS HOSPITAL, COMMERCIAL KITCHEN, Office and Nursing Home Equipment Auction, 9:00 am June 2nd, Hoven, SD. www.hovensd.com has pictures.

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.

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.

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. IMPORTANT DATES & DEADLINES USDA Ag Service center closed in observance of Memorial Day May 28 Final day to obtain 2011 crop sunflowers & grain sorghum grain loans- May 31; Farm Program (DCP) or Aver- age Crop Revenue Election (ACRE) June 1; Supplemental Revenue Assis- tance Payment Program (SURE) 2010 crop disaster June 1 2011 ACRE Production Evi- dence July 15; Certification of Planted Acres July 15; MILC milk programSept. 30, 2012; Multi-Peril Crop Insurance for the next crop year Contact your crop insurance agent or the re- gional Risk Management Agency office. Jackson County FSA Michael Goetzinger, County Executive Director Register for the Governors Ag Development Summit South Dakota Agriculture Means Business is the theme for the 2012 Governors Ag Develop- ment Summit in Pierre. To register for the June 27 sum- mit, visit, http://sdda.sd.gov or call the SD Dept. of Agriculture at 773- 5436. The summit is open to any- one interested in how agriculture impacts South Dakotas economy. There is no cost to attend. The Summit will engage partic- ipants in a thoughtful conversation on the business of South Dakota agriculture. As our states No. 1 in- dustry continues to grow, the Sum- mit will explore how to expand agricultural business from in- creasing international trade and exports, to further developing the states livestock industry. The morning keynote speaker will be John Phipps, host of the U.S. Farm Report, followed by a panel discussion on Exporting and International Trade. Gov. Dennis Daugaard will pres- ent the 2012 Ag Ambassador award during lunch. The afternoon will continue with a panel discussion on Livestock De- velopment, followed by an after- noon keynote speech on Succession Planning by Gary Sipiorski of Vita- Plus.
