oop jumping and dancing dogs, clowns, elephants, tigers,gh wire acts and pretty girls were all a part of the Shrine Cir-

us in Lemmon on July 8.

Each year in June teenage dele-gates from around the country aresponsored by their local RuralElectric Cooperatives to attend ayouth tour in Washington, DC.This year, based off an essay con-test, Grand Electric chose ShaleyLensegrav as the recipient of theirall-expense paid trip to DC. Sha-ley, along with 36 students fromacross South Dakota, flew out ofOmaha, NE on June 15th and re-turned on the 21st.

While in Washington the stu-dents toured Arlington NationalCemetery, The Kennedy Center,Washington National Cathedral,Mount Vernon, the Jefferson,FDR, Martin Luther King Jr., Ko-rean, Lincoln, Vietnam, Iwo Jima,World War II memorials, US Holo-caust Memorial and Museum, theCapital, National Archives, FordsTheatre, and The SmithsonianMuseum. We had four hoursscheduled for the Smithsonian,and although that seems like a

long time, you could spend a dayin each museum and still not seeeverything in it. Sometime I wouldlove to go back to DC just to ex-plore more there, Shaley ex-claimed.

Visiting Arlington NationalCemetery was truly an eye opener.In history class we sometimes be-come immune to casualty statis-tics, but standing at Arlington inthe midst of thousands of gravesreally put into perspective howmany lives have been lost to pro-tect our freedom, Shaley said.

In addition to seeing all of thesights of DC the group also at-tended a youth day conference and

listened to two speakers. DavidLandis, a former Nebraska sena-tor, discussed the history of elec-tric cooperatives, and motivationalspeaker, and Paralympic cham-pion, Mike Schappi encouragedthe youth delegates to get involvedin their local governments.

Shaley enthusiastically recalledher day at the Capital, Touring

Garden Science?Gardening is not a perfect sci-ce as any gardener knows. Gar-ning is a mix of science, creativ-

y, experimentation, frustration,ork and woes. So why do it?Gardening is a challenge. It can

comforting, peaceful, bountiful,e-sustaining (especially in themestead era), beautiful, eveniritual. According to gardenriter/author Barbara Pleasant,agination, persistence and allingness to be amazed are threearacteristics you must have to

a successful gardener. Weould add another, the willingnessbreak the rules.Plants do not read gardeningoks or seed packets, they donteck on Zone hardiness orought tolerance. They just try toow where they are where youe gardener put them! Most of uslow the rules of good gardening

ke not digging in our clay soilhen it is too wet or not plantinge same vegetable in the sameace in the garden year after year.metimes you need to get ex-

eme. An example of that wouldtaking a chain saw and cutting

at sorry lilac bush or otherraggly shrub down almost to theound and letting it reinvent it-lf. You dont always have to doings the exact way the book saysbe doomed try what your in-nct thinks might work, maybejust one or two plants just to

see if it works. If it works and theplants begin to flourish, take careof the rest in the same manner.

Remember to look at a lost plantas an opportunity to try somethingnew in that same place. Opps, thatplum tree you planted two years

ago got snapped off by the latestwind gust. Now you can use thatsame planting hole you dug up forthe plum tree to plant a sturdiertree that can handle the wind,maybe an oak or apple or flower-ing crab. Eye every loss as an op-portunity to try something new.

Dont let details, design rulesor color rules get in the way ofcreating a fun place to work or sitfor a spell just to enjoy the garden.Dont forget the little creaturesthat will enjoy your garden, gar-dens are for nature to enjoy aswell. You may be lucky enough tosee a bird you have never seen be-fore come to enjoy your garden.

The bottom line is gardening isnot an exact science; it is a con-

stantly changing place in whichunexpected things can happen. Inthe garden, every set back is achallenge and often can lead to awonderful surprising reward.

TREE FACTS Understanding Dutch Elm

By Robert W. Drown,Natural Resource Specialist

The American Elm was formerlyconsidered to be the ideal streettree because it was graceful, long-lived, fast growing, and tolerant ofcompacted soils and air pollution.The Dutch Elm Disease (DED)

fungus was first introduced to theU.S. on diseased elm logs from Eu-rope prior to 1930 and began dev-astating the elm population. Ithas now spread throughout North

America and has destroyed overhalf the elm trees in the northernUnited States. The disease hasbeen reported in all states exceptthe desert Southwest.DED symptoms are the result of afungus infecting the water con-ducting system of the tree. Oncethe fungus is established within atree, it spreads rapidly throughthe water-conducting vessels. The

tree forms gums clogging up thesevessels causing the tree to wilt andeventually die. Infected elm treesshow wilting, curling and yellow-ing of leaves on one or morebranches and usually the sapwoodhas brown streaks.

DED is spread by two kinds ofbark beetles that attack elm trees:the smaller European Elm BarkBeetle and the Native Elm BarkBeetle. They are elm pests be-cause they carry the DED fungusas they move from infected breed-ing sites to feed on healthy elmtrees. The numbers of the Euro-pean species are reduced by coldwinters while the Native species ismore common and important inthe spread of DED. Most emerg-ing beetles feed on healthy elmswithin 1,000-1,500 feet of wherethey hatched. However, beetlesmay rise to altitudes of severalhundred feet and are carried byair currents for many miles.There is no way to eliminate DED

once it begins in an area. Controlprograms try to manage the dis-ease so that losses are spread outover a long period, minimizing theimpact of the disease. Some con-trol can be accomplished with com-munity-wide sanitation programsdesigned to reduce numbers of elmbark beetles and prevention of thespread of the disease through nat-ural root grafts from infected treesto adjacent healthy trees.It is possible, to treat trees with in-secticide to reduce beetle popula-tions. These treatments are feasi-ble both for communities and for

Dare To Be Different

Are you holy? If we consider holyas it is used in theBible it means to be separated or that which is different

When we are called to be a people holy unto Godwe arethen set apart for God Christians should be different not

odd or strange but rather different from the rest of the worldToo often instead of being different we blend in with theworld and its values Too often we accept what the worldvalues with perhaps only tacking on a moralistic statementto make it appear to be Christian values There are too fewChristians who truly dare to be different We dont want tobuck the crowd or stand up against the trends that surround

us St Paul in the letter to the Romans tells us that weshould not conform to the world but be transformed to dothe will of God We should live in such a way that we aredifferent from those who do not care about each other orthose who do not want to follow Jesus When we dare to

be different we become a holy people set apart for theGlory of God

ObituarySchool Board reorganizes

continued from page 1cal year. Dan Kvale was re-electedto that position. His first order ofbusiness was to call for nomina-tions for a vice chair. Dan Beck-man will continue for one moreyear in that role.

An advertised hearing was heldat 8:00 p.m. for the purpose of tak-ing comments regarding the pro-posed and recently published2012-2013 budget. Nobody was

present to speak to the issue.Later, with the new board in place,the five elected officials approvedthe new financial plan.but, notbefore some serious discussion wasconducted about the constructionof a new shop and classroom build-ing proposed in the Capital Outlaybudget.

Crow had initially written thatbuilding in as a $200,000 expendi-ture. She increased that on Mon-day night by another $100,000 andalso added $25,000 more for engi-neering fees. New board members,Brownlee-Kari and Thompsonquestioned whether the old Quon-set shop could be renovated andasked if sources of grant moneyhad been researched to help payfor the new building. There wasalso talk about increasing the milllevy from 2 to 3 mills to generateextra tax dollars for it. The waythe capital outlay budget is writ-ten, it needs $301,552 from sur-plus funds to balance.

Beckman spoke out against in-creasing the mill levy. He didnt

want to do it unless it was neces-sary and he opposed taking themill levy to its maximum. Brown-lee-Kari agreed. There is money insurplus. So, why would you?she asked.

Music teacher Darren Jacksonvisited with board members abouta cutting edge program that hesbeen researching for his music stu-dents. He has shelved the idea ofbuilding a recording studio, whichhe spoke with the board about sev-

eral months ago. Now, hes found asoftware program that could beused for composing music with theschools laptop computers. Stu-dents would keep their work on 32gigabyte flash drives. They couldtake their course credit for eitherfine arts or technology, Jacksonsaid.

The new music program wouldbe an elective that Jackson wouldteach during his free sixth hourperiod. That means that mostly

juniors would be able to partici-pate because next school yearsclass schedule is already in place.In another year, scheduling couldbe rearranged to allow more stu-dent participation.

All of the annual appointmentsand designations were approved atthis meeting, including leavingschool lunch and activity pricesthe same as theyve been and alsothe pay scale for substitute teach-ers and activity bus drivers. Theschool will continue to preparemeals for Badlands Headstart.

Contracts were approved for

Gene Smith, bus contractor, andTeddi Carlson, music accompanist.

The school will bid milk pricesthis year, something that hasntbeen done in awhile. Theyve re-cently learned that All Star Dairymay not be the only interested bid-der.

Crow will research the possibil-ity of acquiring a school credit cardto be used by the business officewhen ordering supplies, etc. on-line.

It's an experience they'll neverforget. Nearly 100 campers andstaff gathered in the beautiful

Black Hills of South Dakota June3-8 for the annual Farmers UnionState Leadership Camp.

Campers came from every cor-ner of South Dakota to get 'Wild

About Cooperation!' That was thetheme of this year's camp, focusedon the cooperative spirit of work-ing together to accomplish goals.The campers experienced a BlackHills tour day, lessons on first aidand CPR, cooperative games,workshops, speakers, and, ofcourse, a lot of fun.

"We had an incredible week atcamp," said Farmers Union Edu-cation Director Bonnie Geyer. "Thekids learned how to lead theirpeers, work together to accomplishcommon goals while having a lot of

fun making lifelong friendships."Campers set up their own coop-

erative businesses during camp.The camp store, where they buysnacks, pop, and other items, is setup as a cooperative with campersbuying shares and doing businessat the store. There's a mutual in-surance company, a cooperativenewspaper, co-op coffee shop, anda credit union. At the beginning ofcamp, youth put real money intothe credit union and use thosefunds to shop at the coffee shopand the store.

"We set up real life scenariosthat these kids will remember asthey step into the real world,"Geyer said. "They have their owncheck book, have to balance it

themselves, and even pay fees ifthey bounce a check. We're tryingto get them ready for their livesand teach them what it takes to bea member of a cooperative and amember of society."

The kids also participate in bon-fires, sing songs and play gamesthroughout the week. The camp iscoordinated by the EducationCouncil and led by the Junior Ad-visory Council (JAC), a group ofsix teens who were chosen duringlast year's camp to lead the 2012week. The new Junior AdvisoryCouncil members were electedduring camp. They are Myles

Bialas of Dimock; Bailey Zwahr ofSioux Falls; Taylor Melius ofFaulkton; Nathan Nugteren of

Canistota; Jared Kloucek of Scot-land; and Maria Nightingale ofWhite Lake.

"It's a chance for these youngpeople who are chosen to lead andto learn what it takes to step upand be a leader," Geyer said. "Theother kids really look up to them.They're role models, and they taketheir roles very seriously. It's achance to learn some valuableleadership skills they'll take withthem throughout their lives."

The week also included manyspeakers on a wide range of lead-

Extreme heat and varying de-ees of soil moisture currently im-ct an expanding area of ouruntry, says Jim Krantz, SDSUxtension Cow/Calf Field Special-."For many South Dakota cropd livestock producers, these con-tions that prevailed last year ine southern plains have migratedrthward, now threatening liveli-ods earned from both sectors,"

rantz said.He adds that adapting to thesenditions has challenged genera-ns of farmers and ranchers and

rced them to place renewed em-asis on their management skillstimes of drought."As they do so, a systematic ap-oach may provide the means toercome or minimize the impactMother Nature," he said.On the crop side, Krantz saysat adequate moisture for most ofe state provided almost idealnditions for field preparation,

anting and weed control. How-er, many areas are witnessingtremely dry conditions in theidst of a monster heat wave."Agronomic practices were parta well-planned crop strategy

at, until now, provided row cropsd grains with the framework forwarding yields. In drought-ricken areas, those yields noway be measured by tons of for-e, not bushels of grain," Krantzid.Avoid nitrate poisoning withese tipsf this scenario becomes a reality,ere are some considerationsrantz says producers need toink about as they plan their for-e options:

Well fertilized crops, under stressndition caused by drought, havegher nitrate levels than non-fer-ized crops.

Plant parts closest to the groundntain the highest concentrationsnitrates. Most are in the lowerird of the plant.

With this in mind, Krantz saysrip grazing is not recommended."This practice forces the animalseat all of the plants. Overgraz-g is not recommended for theme reason, as cattle will berced to consume plant parts withe greater levels of nitrates," heid.If grazing is the preferred choicer utilization of these high nitrateops, Krantz says livestock

ould never be allowed access ifey are especially hungry."Hay or other forage should beovided to them prior to turn-out.oducers should only allow theestock access for a portion of they to begin with," he said. "Thisrecommended until the livestockcome acclimated to the highertrate levels."He adds that if the forages arervested for silage, cuttingights should be adjusted higher,aving the lower stalk unhar-sted.Although the costs involved

with mechanically harvesting highnitrate forages are significant,Krantz says there are livestocksafety benefits to this approach.

"The ensiling process reduces ni-trate levels making them muchsafer for consumption," he said."However, it is not recommendedto green chop these forages and letthem heat overnight as thisprocess favors the formation of ni-trite which is even more toxic thatnitrate."

Oats, corn and barley consis-tently have been documented ascrops with the most potential toaccount for nitrate poisoning inlivestock; however, Krantz saysthat annual forages such as su-dangrass, sorghum-sudan hybridsand millets can be dangerous aswell.

"Weather conditions may inten-sify the accumulation of nitrates inforages. Plants that survive an ex-tended period of drought will expe-rience increased levels of nitrates

immediately following a rain asthe parts of the plants begin to re-sume their growth. The nitratelevels will continue to increase forseveral days afterward," he said.

Quick nitrate testing is avail-able at all SDSU Extension Re-gional Centers

Suspected crops may be broughtto SDSU Extension Regional Cen-ters for a preliminary test thatonly takes a few minutes. Al-though exact nitrate levels cannotbe determined through this proce-dure, their presence can be deter-mined. If and when nitrates are

verified in the plant tissue, sam-ples are then sent to a lab for fur-ther testing.

"If nitrates are not found, pro-ducers can be confident that theforage is safe for their livestock,"Krantz said.

Water may be an additionalsource of nitrates for livestockwhether consumption is from adugout, dam or well. Krantz rec-ommends producers obtain a live-stock suitability analysis for watersources.

"This is especially important inareas where nitrate poisoning po-tential from crops is a concern,"Krantz said.

Initial water tests for total dis-solved solids can be accomplishedat SDSU Extension Regional Cen-ters. Depending on the levelsrecorded, further sampling at a labmay be required.Managing a cattle herd fordrought conditions

Drought conditions continue to

challenge the management skillsof livestock producers. Utilizing awell-planned, systematic approachto dealing with drought conditionscan provide long-term benefits.

"Drought conditions may re-quire cattlemen to adjust theirsystems to meet the limitationsdemanded by the lack of grazingresources or harvested forages,"said Krantz.

He says that culling the herd isone option that can be emotional,although inevitable. However, anyherd reduction should be part of asystematic approach to dealing

Drought conditions challenge ag producers management

with meeting livestock needs:Early Weaning: According to

the University of Nebraska, foreach 2.5 days that a calf isweaned, there is one more day offorage available for grazing. Calfremoval is an accepted manage-ment procedure when calves reach45 days of age. Weaning at thisage when grass is restricted notonly provides more grazing for thedry cow, it encourages her to cycleand rebreed under conditions thatmay prohibit that when nursing acalf. Weaning at an age of three tofive months will not provide thereproductive benefits noted abovebut it will result in the same effectas reducing your cowherd by onethird. In any case, early weaningshould be given serious considera-tion prior to making a decision tobegin the culling process.

Culling Considerations:When possible, culling decisions

By Charles OrtmanAs a Baby Boomer, I do enjoy a goodp; actually most any nap. I alwaysed naps but I seem to appreciateem more now. Kind of like a cheapne in your youth, it was just some-ng to drink to get silly. But at theomer age, you will discuss its bou-et, where the grapes come from, andw it hits your pallet, and then youll get silly. Thats what I mean by ap-

eciating the naps more at this age.There are short naps, long naps, ac-ental naps, planned naps, unex-cted naps; all are special in theirn way. I am sure that you have yourn categories such as, I got to have ap now, or, Dont disturb me for alf an hour. I have a very importantoject to complete. Lets start withort naps. They say, whoever theye, that a fifteen minute nap is justht and you will awake refreshed and

ady to go. While that may be true, itesnt take one thing into account.r some of us part of the reason for ap is to get thru the rest of the dayter or just to put off doing some-ng you dont want to do. Oh sure,

at chore is still waiting for you, but itobably is too late in the day to startnow.Accidental naps cant happen just to

e. While you may not admit to this, Ink there are more of us out there.cidental naps happen when someone

is talking to you and you dose off. I amnot counting listening to a teacher orpreacher. No, this happens when theother person is right by you and thereyou go. My friends have all experi-enced this but they act like it is myfault. It never seems to occur to themthat what they are saying might not bethe most intellectually stimulatinggem you ever heard.

Planned naps are those that often

come the same time each day, like overlunch. It seems that when the usualtime comes, you are tired and sleepcomes easily. On rising you are readyto go, and oddly enough, even if youmiss the nap, you still go thru the tiredfeeling and seem to wake up when it istime to go. Its like planning on a bigpiece of apple pie for lunch but some-one else has eaten it

Unexpected naps are some of thebest. An example is when you planneda project outside for the weekend butit rains for two days. That gives youthat unexpected time for a nap or eventwo naps. That is of course if yourhome supervisor doesnt come up withfifteen other things to do.

Teenagers and college students arevery good at napping; maybe even attheir prime. But I think that weBoomers are getting back to those

days. We are taking more time to napand enjoy it more and more; like a finewine.

Naps, Naps, Yea! Naps

Grand River Roundup..........................By Betty OlsonWow - when it rains, it pours!ter weeks of fighting fires,asshoppers and drought, Thurs-y night we got rain. Lots of rain!dumped just over three inchest of the rain gauge after the del-e that hit about midnight andme of the neighbors to the west

ported up to four and a halfches! The creek in front of ouruse was bone dry Thursday andfore daylight Friday morning itas roaring over the road.There was a fire over by Timevensons Thursday afternoonat the fire departments had justt out when it started to rain.

ast Sunday there were two orree fires on the Marty Ranchd another big on north of Newellat burned around 2,000 acres.

he prairie was a tinderbox ande forests are so full of bug-killedees that its only a matter of timefore they cause a fire like noth-g weve ever seen before.All of the big wildfires in west-n South Dakota are out now, butot of folks are still suffering be-use of them. The White Drawe northeast of Edgemont burned000 acres of forest and privatend, destroying pastures used formmer grazing. Four National

uard airmen were killed wheneir fire fighting plane crashed.y friend and former legislator,ark Hollenbeck, lost his summerazing, forcing him to sell manyhis cattle and sheep. Mark

sted a meeting with Sen. Johnhune at his Sunrise Ranch Fri-y morning so Sen. Thune couldar from landowners and locallunteer firefighters who werery critical of the Forest Servicesismanagement of the fire.

The Oil Creek fire northwest ofewcastle, Wyoming has burneder sixty thousand acres. The Asheek Fire in southeast Montanas burned both grass and timber,d closed Highway 212 for sev-al days. The Ash Creek fire is% contained and has burned ap-oximately 250,000 acres. Noteryone got as much rain as wed, but the moisture should givee firemen a much needed rest.Jean Simon and Maurice Hamil-n celebrated their birthdays lastunday, although their actualared birthday was on Monday,ly 2nd. I joined the neighbors foraurice Hamiltons 89th birthdayrty in Spearfish at Edgewoodsta. After wishing Maurice

appy Birthday, I drove to Sturgishelp Jean Simon celebrate herth birthday. Henrietta LeFebrelebrated her 92nd birthday thiseek and there will be a partyednesday evening in Prairie City

celebrate Jim Judys 90th.appy Birthday to all!!Tammy (Wilkinson) Eberhardd surgery in Rapid City last

eek for a perforated ulcer andturday she had to have surgeryain because the stitches werentlding. Matthew Sandgren isck in Houston as doctors try tolp him deal with the pain froms cancer, and John Witt was

badly injured in a diving accidentat Shadehill. Please keep thesefolks in your prayers.

The weather was beautiful onIndependence Day and I got to cel-ebrate in Belle Fourche. Walt Kolbhauled me through the parade inhis beautiful Model T Ford so I

could throw candy at little kids.Other area politicians in the pa-rade were Sen. Ryan Maher, Sen.Larry Rhoden, Sen. Tom Nelson,Rep. Dean Wink, Rep. FredRomkema, and Rep. Chuck Tur-biville. Not many area towns hadfireworks displays this year be-cause of the extreme fire danger,but Belle Fourche and Newell heldtheirs on the night of the 3rd andHettinger and Buffalo had theirusual bang up 4th of July withoutsetting any fires.

There were so many firesaround the country on Thursdaythat Taz was the only one fromhere that was able to make it toSydney Tetrault and Trent Tur-bivilles wedding in Spearfish thatevening. Congratulations to a re-ally nice couple!

The Supreme Court ruled last

week that ObamaCare is constitu-tional because it is a tax. The

judges said as a penalty, Oba-maCare is unconstitutional butthe government's power to tax isunlimited. How scary is that?Obama lied when he promisedthat no one making under

$250,000 a year would pay onepenny in extra tax. There are atleast 21 new taxes in his health-care mandate that will be paid byEVERYONE and the IRS is hiring16,000 new agents to enforce thelaw. Check it out here:http://www.atr.org/full-list-oba-macare-tax-hikes-a6996

I got a kick out of this story Deb-bie Kahl sent me:

Pinocchio, Snow White, and Su-perman are out for a stroll in townone day.

As they walk, they come acrossa sign: "Beauty contest for themost beautiful woman in theworld."

"I am entering!" said SnowWhite.

After half an hour she comes outand they ask her, "Well, how'd yado?"

"First Place!" said Snow White.They continue walking and they

see a sign: "Contest for thestrongest man in the world."

"I'm entering," says Superman.After half an hour, he returns

and they ask him, "How did youmake out?"

First Place," answers Super-man. "Did you ever doubt?"

They continue walking whenthey see a sign: "Contest! Who isthe greatest liar in the world?"

Pinocchio enters. After half anhour he returns with tears in hiseyes. "What happened?" they

asked."Who's Obama?" asked Pinoc-chio.

By Richard P. Holm MDI remember one evening a few

years back, when a med studentwas shadowing me as we exam-ined a failing elderly patient in theemergency room (ER). During ourevaluation it became clear that thepatient really was in the ER be-cause he was slightly confused andemotionally upset, not because ofheart disease or pneumonia or thelike.

After we left the patient's side,the student made a comment thatwas really quite negative, and I re-alized at that moment a certainsad truth about how we all seem toappreciate people in this society.The student had devalued the in-dividual not only because of theemotional nature of the problem,but partly because of the patient'sdementia and even, I dare say, be-cause of his age.
