olistic management workshop to be held

By Beth Hulm

County Commissioners are ad-mittedly cautious about establish-ing zoning laws in Perkins County.They don't want to "regulate"property rights, according toChairman Mike Schweitzer...but,"we want to protect," he told BlaiseEmerson, representative for BlackHills Council of Local Govern-ments, Rapid City. Emerson wasinvited to visit the county boardroom last Tuesday afternoon be-cause commissioners are con-cerned about oil activity in NorthDakota that could eventually dipsouth into Perkins County. State'sAttorney Shane Penfield and

Sheriff Kelly Serr joined the five-

man board for the conversation.Simple zoning wouldn't just setrules for man camps that couldspring up with oil activity butwould also create guidelines forthings such as large animal feedlots and wind energy in the county,Emerson said. Currently, there isno ordinance to regulate thosethings. Emerson said that thereisn't any other way - other than byordinance - for local government togain authority over somebodycoming into the county and put-ting down roots. He is currentlyworking with Harding County toestablish some zoning laws. He en-

couraged Perkins County officials

to visit with those neighboringcommissioners.Lemmon is already working on

developing a comprehensive planand zoning ordinance to protecttheir city. Should the county movein that direction, Town of Bisontrustees could incorporate withcommissioners in the same plan,stipulating their own rules. Onething that a zoning ordinancecould do would be to require build-ing permits for new housing. Itwould be one way to keep the Di-rector of Equalization "up tosnuff," Emerson said.

Commissioners had a lot of

hen we start seeing dead deer,pically white-tails, found neare water. This is mainly causedEHD or Epizootic hemorrhagic

sease. EHD is a viral diseaseused by a bite from a midgemall fly). Once a deer is infected,HD progresses very rapidly.eer develop a high fever, appearsorientated and salivate exces-vely with death being the end re-lt. Because of the high fever

er often go to water to drink ande ultimately found dead in orar a body of water. Livestocke generally unaffected by EHDd ranchers should not be con-rned of risk to their livestock.

SD Game Fish and Parks knowsthis is something that takes placeoften in SD but like to keep trackof it and test sick animals whenpossible to confirm the presence ofEHD. Only live animals showingsymptoms can be tested. Animalsthat have already died can not betested for EHD, but we are able tosometimes determine suspectEHD by investigating dead deer.Anyone seeing dead or sick deerplease call 605-374-7726. Eventhough these deer have died natu-

The death tax threatens family farms and businesses

By Senator John ThuneSouth Dakota businesses that

classify their operations as familyowned and operated take pride inthat description. Family farmers,ranchers, and businesses areproud to pass on their legaciesfrom one generation to the nextknowing their lifetime of hard

work has paid off and their goodfamily name will continue. It isimportant to them that future gen-erations have the opportunity tocare for their land and contributeto the communities they hold dear.It often takes generations to builda flourishing family business, andfor some businesses only one badWashington policy to destroy it.

Unfortunately one proposalcoming out of the Democrat-ledSenate could be just that devastat-ing to a very large number ofSouth Dakotas family farms,ranches, and small businesses. Re-cently, Senate Democrats passedlegislation on a party-line vote of51 to 48 that would increase taxeson small businesses and middle

class families. Additionally, if en-

acted, this bill would return thecurrent $5 million death tax ex-emption to $1 million next year,and would raise the tax rate fromthe current top rate of 35 percentto an exorbitant 55 percent. Notonly would this tax devastate fam-ily farms and businesses, but itwould also hit them at the worst

time, when they are mourning theloss of a loved one. The tax wouldforce grieving families to make dif-ficult decisions about how to pay atax on a loved ones life savings,business, or real estate, acquiredwith income already taxed when itwas initially earned.

This proposed tax would take anespecially hard toll on SouthDakotas ranchers and farmers be-cause the value of their agricul-tural land has steadily increasedover the past several years. Basedon the most recent U.S. Depart-ment of Agriculture (USDA) data,about one-half of South Dakotasfarmers and ranchers would benegatively impacted by the deathtax proposal recently passed by

the Senate. Since many family

farms are land rich but cash poor,this punitive tax leaves the nextgeneration with little choice but tosell family holdings to pay thedeath tax. According to USDA, be-tween 2000 and 2011, the value offarm real estate in South Dakotahas appreciated $720 per acre, or189 percent. This means the value

of the average farm in SouthDakota can be well above the $1million exemption amount thatwas included in the Senate-passedtax bill and would make them sub-ject to the devastating death tax.

I believe that repeal of the de-structive death tax is critical tokeeping family farms and busi-nesses intact across South Dakota.Earlier this year, I introduced theDeath Tax Repeal Permanency Actwhich would permanently repealthe federal death tax and the gen-eration skipping transfer tax. I amcommitted to promoting policiesthat provide incentives to growfamily business and support build-ing our economy, which starts witha permanent end to this unfair

tax.

I arrived at Evansons in Lem-on, in June of 1961, at the end ofe first half century of the firm, toe if I was cut out to be a Morti-an. Note that the term under-ker had transitioned to newer

rminology. Raised on a ranchst of Faith, SD, I had just com-eted my 1st year of college (pre-ortuary) and during that springd written every funeral homethin a 100 mile radius of Faith,eking an internship. During mygh school junior year I had visitedth instructors and my pastorout medical school, going into theinistry and saw that Mortuaryience would be a combination ofth. I knew the ranch life withilding construction and carpen-

y as a side business would not ber me. An older brother and hismily were already on the ranchd my dad (born in 1885, one year

der than Dick Evanson) was stillorking at age 75 at both endeav-s. How little did I know what thears 1961 and 1962 would bring?It was a beautiful Sunday morn-g that spring day in 1961 when It across the coffee table from Evied Ollie in their home a blockuth and across the street fromvanson Funeral Home on 4thve. I wont forget the homemadells, juice and hospitality; anderything just-so in the setting.tried my best to not be anch/carpenter kid from east ofith. The work experience for an

tern was laid out very succinctlyd after our visit, without a tourthe store or the funeral home, Iew Lemmon would be the loca-n for my internship. From prior

terviews, in what a young personould call attractive places like

e Black Hills and the Missouriver area; I didnt really want toin Lemmon. But my dad had

id youd better go up theretheynt a nice letter. Those prior con-cts and interviews had led to myesumption that I would be thenitor and the automobile mainte-nce person. From the Evansons,

heard of the expectations of a Fu-ral Professional, and the busi-ss of a furniture store. Of courseese extra chores would be in-uded, but would not be the majorle of an intern. My parents tolde to be home in Faith by 11 a.m.r church, so it wasnt the longestterview, but at the end of oursit; Evie asked when can youart? Arriving home, my dad

ked, Well, where are you going?emmon, was the answer I gaved I told them Id be there inrly June. Dad had that I toldu so look on his face. I guessads have a way of looking at theg picture.That summer of 1961, I haduch to learn. It was a busy threeonths. On my arrival I learnedickly from Nellie Gossman, who

as working at the store, how tost, wash windows and oil the

ood floor. Harold Crow worked ate store with deliveries and floor-g installations as well as helpingvie with driving and assisting at

funerals. Evie was away from thebusiness when I arrived and Dickshowed me around the funeralhome and my room on the secondfloor. From Dick I learned of previ-ous interns, but they were Lemmon

residents and didnt live in the fu-neral home. There was HowardNelson, who later moved to Boze-man where he joined relatives inthe operation of Dokken-Nelson fu-neral home. Lowell Hanks went for-ward to serve the profession in Cal-ifornia, Bill Bartholomew workedin Alaska but maintained his li-cense in South Dakota, returningseasonally to help at EvansonJensen. Many high school studentsfound work after school and duringthe summer months at the furni-ture store.

It didnt take long for the young-sters in town to learn that a newapprentice had arrived at the fu-neral home. Late in those warmsummer evening of 61 Id hearvoices outside my window whichfaced the street. Is he nuts? Hemust be broke to live above the fu-neral home. (Pretty good guess.)But I have to give a lot of credit toDick, who with his wife, Sadie;later to be called Grandma andGrandpa Evanson to my family,lived next door. Knowing that I hadnever been in a funeral home be-fore, Dick carefully showed methrough the back entry, into theprofessional preparation area,through the chapel and up thestairs to my quarters. Ill neverforget his words of wisdom. Thoseplaced in our care are of immeasur-able worth to those who grieve.Even though we must do our workas if they are inanimate, we mustremember the trust placed in us

and keep in mind that these are thetemples of the soul.

It was a busy summer and alearning experience. During mythree month internship of 61 wehad 25 funeral services, more thanenough ambulance calls and thefurniture business kept us busy inour spare time.

One service for a Native Ameri-can lady in McIntosh taught mequite a lesson. If a rough box wasrequested for the burial at that dis-tance, we would construct it withone end open, then load the casketinto the funeral coach through theopen end of the box and transporteverything in the one vehicle. Thistime the burial was a distance fromMcIntosh in the Standing Rock

Community of Black Horse. Afterthe funeral we reloaded the casketand flowers and processed to thecemetery. The casket bearershelped unload the casket and heldit until Evie and I could unload thebox and cemetery equipment, thenreplaced it into the funeral coach.

All was well until lowering the boxinto the hand dug grave. The oldsaying, you cant put a square peginto round hole, well this was arectangular peg being placed in anelliptical hole. It was wedged at anangle and I was instructed to wig-gle it free by lying across a two bysix at the end of the grave. Well, it

wiggled free alright, but I evidentlyheld on too long and did a perfectflip into the box, landing on myback six feet down. Crawling out, Isaw many hands covering theirmouths to suppress the giggles and

formerly teary eyes twinkle into alittle smile. We proceeded to set thegrass grave covering and loweringequipment, the casket bearers(called Pallbearers in those days)carried the casket to the grave andthe Priest conducted the committalservice. I was still trying to brushmyself off, hiding behind the fu-neral coach. As the years have goneby, I realized that during a sad timein peoples lives it doesnt hurt tobring a little smile to their experi-ence; but I didnt intend to do itthat day or in that way at BlackHorse.

Having been coached and trainedin vocal music at church and school,I was once asked to sing In theGarden. My quick response ofdont you want me in the churchsettled the family so we could con-tinue what was a very emotionalarrangements meeting.That fall I enrolled in the Depart-ment of Mortuary Science at theUniversity of Minnesota. An 18year old ranch kid from WesternDakota wasnt so sure of travellingto the big city, but assured by theEvansons that I had satisfactorilypassed my first 3 months of intern-ship and that Dick had survived 6weeks in 1912 at the school, I en-rolled. It was also Evies AlmaMater in 1941, so that being theclosest college, the decision wasmade. Little did I know at the timethat the first months there wouldbe interrupted.

I roomed at a funeral home

close to the University, workingnights and weekends, taking calls,cleaning, washing funeral cars andstudying. My mother hadnt feltwell in late summer and in Septem-ber went to Mayo Clinic for an ex-amination. The diagnosis wasbreast cancer which had spread toother areas. With the limited treat-ment procedures available at thetime, she decided to return homewhere nature would take its course.I dropped out of school and re-turned home to Faith to be with myfamily. She passed away on Oct.25th and then began my first testor trial by fire in pursuing a ca-reer in funeral service.

But giving credit where credit isdue, the Evansons, my pastor and

most of my family saw me through.At this point, I was reminded thatEvie wanted me back the next sum-mer and any time in between tohelp out. There was a like familyfeeling developing. I spent the nexttwo months working some withEvansons, spending time with myDad at home in Faith and on theranch. It was finally bonding timefor us, as being the youngest of ourfamily and being born when he was57 put quite a spread in our father-son relationship. Mother was 19years younger than he, so of courseher death changed his plans com-pletely. I had nieces and nephews

that were just a year or twoyounger than me, and were the ap-ples of his eye, as to be expected.That time was another educationalexperience and time of acceptanceand adjustment for both of us. Now

I knew what people go through atthe time of loosing someone theylove and the recovery periodneeded.

I returned to the University andwork in Minneapolis in Jan. 1962and then spent the summer againin Lemmon. Evansons assured methat there would be a future withthem in Lemmon, but I needed todecide if my goal would be to workin the big City like previous internsthey trained, or be satisfied with acomfortable living and serving fam-ilies personally known in a smalltown, rural area setting. That deci-sion came easily. Then it was an-nounced that the furniture busi-ness had lost money in prior yearsand this had to change in order tomake room for me in the total oper-ation of Evansons. I dont think Ireplied at the time, but understoodthat my internship was beginningas well in the retail/business sectorof Main Street.

Then in Oct. of '62, while back atthe University and taking doubleloads to catch up for my previousabsence, the tested by fire atmos-phere returned. My father, brotherand sister in law, who were operat-ing the ranch, all died in an auto ac-cident near Austin, Minn. Theywere enroute to a National CattleCongress meeting in Waterloo,Iowa. Fortunately for me, our Pas-tor from Faith was in the Cities formeetings, took me under his wingsand drove me home. Harold Crowwas sent by Evie to Austin to bring

my family home and two days laterwe were all gathered at EvansonFuneral Home making triple fu-neral arrangements. Somehow,with Evies guidance, we gotthrough all the obituary and legalinformation. Then he asked,Would you consider helping me,get things ready? There came the

n 1968 the firm name changed tovanson Jensen Furniture and Fu-ral Home, when Mary Jean andurchased a 25% interest in bothsinesses. In 1965 the furnitureallenge to be profitable had beenet and the furniture operation ex-nded and moved to a new and

rger location at 101 Main St.hereafter, the partnership rela-nship flourished as well with

vies business experience, person-ty, guidance and excellent hiredlp. So in 1971 we were offered anher 25% ownership and becameual partners, sealing the name

vanson Jensen to this day.Ollie had worked at the storence 1941 and acquired skills incorating, knowing quality furni-re and knowledge of our cus-mers. She also would fingerck on the inside of a display win-w while someone was washinge outside. This impeccable ap-arance of everything was passed

to many faithful employees.arold Crow, Helen Hintz, Jackafferty, Helen Baumgarten, Annant, Jeff Haase, Alice Ashmore,

yvonne Langehough, Vi Kost-ecky, Bill Logan, Ross Millikend Ray Huber and funeral hometerns, Mike Smith, Curt Jerde

d Joe Stout were with the firmsring this 25 year period. Many a

ory could be told of our relation-ip and happenings with each butis can be reviewed in our 1987blication of the 75th Anniversary.In 1975 Evanson Jensen Funeralome was relocated to 501 7th Ave. upon the acquisition of theince of Peace Church north ofmmon the prior year. The build-g was located across the Cedar

River, north of Lemmon. Bids werereceived for a hog barn, an imple-ment shed and for a funeral home.Luckily for us we were the highestbidder and the congregation waspleased as well. The name of theChapel area, which was theirchurch, remains Prince of Peace

Chapel. The 30 x 75 main struc-ture of laminated rafters and 4 x6 tongue in groove ceiling/roofcame to town in one piece, with all

the weight at the top of the struc-ture; swaying front to back. Wecouldnt believe one piece of thestained glass didnt fall out. Thefirst service arranged from our new

location was in mid-January 1975.In 1976, I was talked into run-

ning for the State Senate by Repre-sentatives George Mortimer, BelleFourche and Harold Millett, Reva.They also had the help of VernonEvansons attorney which musthave been the reason he approvedand granted the time needed tocampaign that summer and fall.Successful in November, I servedButte, Harding, Perkins and Cor-

son Counties in the 77 and 78 ses-sions and was re-elected to serve inthe 79 and 80 sessions. Of coursethe work of a Senator didnt just in-volve the session times, but all yeararound to committee and con-stituent meetings. I could tell thiswas beginning to wear on Evie and

our partnership, even though I tookall night calls, weekends and put inmany 16 hour days. Mary Jean putin extra effort and time as well with

her phone answering duties and inraising our four children. So to savemy marriage, partnership and seemy children grow up, I decided notto run again in 1980. This is not tosay that those four years were

wasted. They were very educationaland productive and we met a lot ofgreat people. Interestingly, thesame furniture salesman who dis-appointed Dick Evanson in 1959had this to say when I was running,are you nuts.youre going to loseevery customer this place has!

Knowing he was of an opposite po-litical persuasion I should havesaid, Then grab your satchel andhit the dooras we wont be need-ing any more merchandise. Henever said anything more in his re-turn visits, but did notice a drop inhis merchandise on our showroomfloors and an increase in his com-petitors lines, and business at thestore kept improving.

During these busy growth years,Evie put a lot of extra time into theLemmon Economic DevelopmentCorp., helped establish a radio sta-tion in Lemmon, oversaw the con-struction of a Housing Project and

enjoyed his game of golf, much likehe did when his father was hispartner.

Our founder, R.S. Dick Evanson

passed away in 1971 at the age of84 and was the first death in thisfamily of funeral directors. I tookcare of the arrangements, takingmy instructions from GrandmaSadie (as our family called her)Evie, Ollie, and his sisters. Afterthe service while visiting with Evie

he related to me and later to others,Ive been through this with somany others, but now fully realizewith the passing of Dad what theyhave gone through. His personaltesting came after nearly 40 yearsin the profession, not before.

Grandma Sadie died in April of1985 at the age of 87. In those 14years of widowhood she continuedto be active with her flowers,church and yard, present at ourfamily gathers; and quietly sup-portive of the Evanson Jensen part-nership family.

It was in 1979 and 1981 that weacquired the funeral homes in Mott

and Elgin, ND aciously welcomedmunities. As thecreased, Evie andother full time fuhired and Bill board. Just to staated a furniture stime with Jacqueager.

Little faces that are anxious or anticipating, or maybe even both;trips to town for shoes and shirts, pencils and pants (how could

his legs have gotten so long this summer?). Family schedules areonce again being discussed and arranged and rearranged in orderto drop them off and pick them up, (Big Sis can drive this year,

so). Its school time again!Summer flew by and crept by (depends upon who you ask). I hopeyou took some time to get away with the family. If you didnt, its

probably too late to get a visit in to the Grand Canyon. Maybeyou can still have a mini vacation some weekend considering ourfour-day school weeks. But, if hes in football or shes in volleyball,good luck with that one. Try anyhow, because, just knowing you

tried to make something happen for the family means a lot tothem. Team sports are important but the first team they have is

their family. (Hear that, Coach?).If it seems they have a lot going on, they do! Allowing for andtrying to accommodate your childrens interests and activities

reinforces that you love them and care about their busy lives.But, they also need you to insist that they spend time with the

family. You can set the example of commitment to time togetherby being flexible and squeezing in some family activity. A

spontaneous round of putt-putt golf with the family at PiratesCove may create a fun memory that stands out in their minds

simply because it was out of the ordinary. (Just an idea.)Life in the communities of Western South Dakota gets more andmore busy, especially when that school bell starts ringing again.(Some of us can still remember the sound of that brass bell whenMiss Roseneau would stand on the step of the Lone Tree School

and call us in). Our children grow up quickly. We dont havemany years with them.

Behold, children are a gift of the LORD, The fruit of the wombis a reward. (Psalm 127:3 NAS)

d would incur some fees. Emer-n said that when he has a scopethe project, he'd develop a fee

hedule, probably in the $5,000 -,500 range.Public meetings were tenta-

vely scheduled for September 6Bison and Lemmon.Another major discussion in theard room last week was about

surfacing Railway Street inrth Lemmon. Lemmon's cityuncil is involved in a study to getst estimates for fixing the sec-n of that road that lies withineir city limits. The road also ex-nds into the county on both thest and west sides and into Northakota on the north.Schwietzer and Commissionerillard Ottman, who also repre-nts that part of the county one commission, recently attendedmeeting in Lemmon about ruraladway reconstruction. Railwayreet is a main thorough way forucks going to and from South-est Grain. Schweitzer's andtman's concern was that a new

evator being built west of Het-

nger, near Bucyrus, would takesiness away from Lemmon andrkins County if something isn'tne with that road.SW Grain employs about 30 peo-e, Schweitzer said, and has

spent millions of dollars in infra-structure plus they generate con-siderable tax revenue for thecounty and people who come totown to do business with themspend money in Lemmon and inthe county.

The study would cost PerkinsCounty taxpayers $5,000 to get acost estimate of what it would taketo make the road truck accessible.When those figures are in hand, acommittee could go to Pierre witha quest for grant money and loans.Three separate entities, workingtogether, might provide leveragein Pierre, Schweitzer said.

Official action passed by roll callvote to allow the $5,000 expendi-ture but it was not a unanimousdecision. Commissioner JimGochenour, Prairie City, arguedthat his peers weren't willing tospend money on the road onBison's east side as part of theWhite Butte overlay project. "Wedidn't have the money to do thatroad out there," he said. He thinksthat Southwest Grain needs tostep up and do their part since itis their business that is most af-fected. According to Schweitzer,

Southwest Grain is doing that."I think it just makes sense tospend $5, 000," he said. "We're allin this together," he added. "It'snot an us vs. them.

Wayne Henderson piped up to say,"It's our responsibility to workwith the other entities."

Already oiled, Schweitzer saidthat Railway Street is "an assetthat we need to protect."

County Highway Superinten-dent Tracy Buer said that the roadcould be fixed by patching the softspots, widening the road andgrinding up the asphalt and put-ting down a heavier base. "It's toobad that you have to pay someone5,000 bucks to tell you that," hesaid. Gochenour favored replacingthe asphalt with good gravel butSchweitzer and Buer disagreed."We want to move forward andhave nice things," Buer said.Schweitzer's comment was, "If yougravel it, you're taking a stepback."

Spending the $5,000 is the easypart, according to Henderson. "Thetough decision," he said, "we'llhave to make later." That wouldhappen after the study is com-pleted and estimated costs wouldbe available. Thats when theCounty Commission would have todecide how much they would putinto a resurfacing project.

Buer offered a status report ofwhat is happening in the highwaydepartment. The White Butteoverlay project is complete, hesaid, but he's not completely satis-fied with some of the work doneout there. Some curves have"squiggles," he said. He recom-mended withholding 2% of thecontractor's payment until those

issues are resolved. Work is now inprogress on the South Grand Riverbridge and he's still looking for asemi truck to replace one thatburned up in the shop yard earlierthis summer.

Assessor Rownea Gerbracht andher deputy Janelle Goddard werepresent to present a letter fromthe new State Secretary of Rev-enue, Andy Gerlach. His letter wasin response to one that Gerbrachtsent him earlier in which she re-quested the state's approval of herSoil Table, which she uses for valu-ing agricultural land throughoutthe county. Gerlach wrote, "I com-mend the county for your exten-sive work in striving to improvethe assessment of agriculturalland in Perkins County." He ap-proved the work done on the soiltable by Dr. Doug Malo, SDSUproductivity specialist. He in-structed Gerbracht to remove anyrevisions to the soil ratings thatwere recommended by soil scien-tist Arvid Meland, whom thecounty hired to help fix the table.Gerbracht still has the ability toadjust for ground perpetually in-undated with saline and other

problems that cause ongoing is-sues.The 2013 budget was reviewed

and tweaked, in preparation forpublication. Commissioners cutback additional subsidies, re-quested from various entities, tothe current levels. Had they leftthe requests in the new budget,they'd be spending nearly $38,000

They youth also gave a set of reasons on the market hog class. Livestock judging offers individuals the odevelop valuable life skills. Not only do they learn to pick out differences among the animals, they also learn valuon how to make sound decisions and how to explain those decisions with proper reasoning.Left to right: Morgan McKinstry,Ty Collins,Ashtin Gerbracht,Shaley Lensegrav,Tessa Kopren,Hannah McKinstryaben, Ethan Harpster, Gavin Nelson, Kaden Glover, Jacob Schalesky, Rune Jesfjeld, Braden Kopren, Eli Harpster.

weed seed distribution," Gatessaid.

The specialists say perhaps theprimary motivation to avoid weedyhay is to avoid future weed infes-tation problems on your property.

"Fortunately, weed infestationsgenerally do not explode in a sin-gle season so watching for noxiousor invasive species next yearshould enable effective control ofnew infestations before they be-come a costly problem," Moechnigsaid. "Leafy spurge, Canada this-tle, and yellow toadflax are likelysome of the most difficult weeds to

control that may be present ingrass hay so it is particularly im-portant to be watching for theseweed species next year."

Moechnig says the need to hayareas normally not harvestedcould also increase the risk of hav-ing toxic weeds in the hay.

"Perhaps the most toxic weedsare poison hemlock and water-hemlock," Moechnig said. "Lethaldoses for some livestock speciesmay be only 0.2 - 0.8 percent oftheir body weight."

He adds that poison hemlockpopulations seemed to expandover the past couple years, partic-

ularly in northeastern SouthDakota, which may be partiallydue to greater precipitation rates.

"Hemlock species are in the car-rot plant family, so flower clustersresembling carrot flowers may bevisible in hay," Moechnig said."Whorled milkweed is anotherweed of concern, but populationsare often not very dense, particu-larly in areas with taller grassthat may be hayed. Common weedspecies, such as kochia, lamb-squarters, pigweeds, thistles, andothers can also increase hay ni-trate concentrations if present in

large quantities."In addition to unknown weed

seeds and plants in the hay, Gatessays unknown herbicide residuescould also cause problems.

"Grass treated with herbicidessuch as picloram (Tordon, Grazon),aminopyralid (Milestone/Fore-Front), or clopyralid (Curtail,Stinger) could still containresidues of these herbicides thatwill quickly pass through livestockand can remain in their manure,"Gates said. "Spreading this ma-nure or feeding bales on fields thatmay be planted to broadleaf cropsnext year could result in severe

Shortages in pasture availabil-y have forced many to purchasey this year, sometimes from

her states or lower quality hay.hen doing this, it is important toaware of potential unintended

nsequences, such as introduc-ns of new noxious/invasive

eeds, potentially toxic weeds ine hay, and hay containing herbi-de residues that could injureoadleaf crops in future years,ys Mike Moechnig, SDSU Ex-nsion Weeds Specialist andoger Gates, SDSU Rangelandxtension Specialist.

"It is illegal to transport hayntaining noxious weed seeds inuth Dakota regardless if the hayfrom this or another state,"

oechnig said. "In fact, this is aass 2 misdemeanor that could benishable by 30 days in prisond/or a $500 fine."Gates adds that this law appliessituations in which the violationnstitutes a "substantial" risk ofntaminating fields or other land."Avoiding known weed patchesharvest will reduce contamina-n. Hauling bales that are net

rapped or tarping the load willinimize the risk of excessive

Watch for weeds in imported haycrop injury. These residues couldpersist in the soil for 2 - 3 years.Therefore, it is important to keepmanure in pastures if it is notknown exactly what herbicideswere applied to the hayfield."

Pictures of noxious weeds andcontrol recommendations may befound on iGrow.org and on iPhoneand Android cell phones apps pro-vided by SDSU. Infestation riskmay also be minimized by carefulmanagement of hay feeding areas.Drought conditions reduce thevigor of pasture vegetation in-creasing bare ground and enhanc-

ing successful weed germinationand establishment. Feeding im-ported hay in a restricted area oreven in corrals may contain thearea that needs to be carefullymonitored the following spring.

Concerns of weeds and herbicideresidues do not have to be limitingfactors when purchasing hay.Properly responding to risks ofnew weed infestations or contami-nated manure can enable people toavoid greater and more costlyproblems in the future. To learnmore visit iGrow.org.

Leaf spot fungal diseases can

make cottonwood and poplar treeslook unsightly. Occasionally, a se-vere disease outbreak can causepremature leaf drop and diebackof parts of the tree. If a tree losesits leaves early in the season, itmay grow new ones and be fine. Ifit loses them in midsummer, how-

ever, growing new leaves may ad-versely affect the health of thetree. This leads to increased dan-ger of frost damage, reducedgrowth and insect damage.

Marssonina Leaf Spot is a com-mon foliage disease on cotton-woods and poplars. Leaf spots aredark brown flecks, often with yel-low halos. Severely infectedleaves, several spots may fuse toform large black dead patches.The fungus survives the winter onfallen leaves and in the spring pro-duces spores that are carried bythe wind to infect new leaves.Normally the disease is not seri-ous, but if the weather remains fa-vorable for spores, secondary in-fections can cause premature leaf

loss.Septoria Leaf Spot is a common

foliar disease mainly on cotton-woods and poplars. The appear-ance of Septoria leaf spots varies alot by tree species and with time.Usually it appears as a distincttan circular spot with black mar-gins and small black pimples inthe center and spots tend to growtogether. The disease is rarely aproblem on plains and eastern cot-tonwoods but can cause consider-able damage on lanceleaf cotton-woods. Septoria Leaf Spot sur-vives the winter and re-infects cot-tonwood and poplar trees in thespring the same way as Marsson-ina Leaf Spot.

tonwoods and poplars. Thoughcommon, this disease rarelycauses serious problems. Symp-toms include small, yellow-orangepustules that are scattered on thelower leaf surfaces in late summerand early fall. The life cycle of thisfungus includes two different tree

Grand River Roundup..........................By Betty OlsonIt cooled off this week. I wore acket several times and when wet up Friday morning it was onlydegrees! Its time to find some-

ing to cover my tomatoes with be-re the frost gets them. Summer ismost over. School starts in mostthe local schools this week andorts practice began a week or so

o. College kids are back in classd the trees are starting to changeor.Sadly, I have more area deaths toport. Billie Hetts mother, Irenertune, age 94 of Philip, died

uesday, August 7, at the Philipursing Home just the day beforellies cousin, Delane Nixon, wasled in a vehicle crash near Belleurche.Swede Waterland, 80, Spearfish,ed last Sunday. His memorialrvice was Saturday at the Com-unity Hall in Alzada with inurn-ent at Capitol, Montana.Addie Tenold passed away Tues-y and her funeral will be at 2:00turday at Slim Buttes LutheranReva. Addie will be buried beside

r husband Art in the Slim Buttesmetery.The rodeo community wasocked to hear of the death of aal good cowboy, Andy Ridley, onlyyears old, of St. Onge, on Satur-y at the Sturgis Hospital. We did- know Andy had any health is-es and his death was certainly

unexpected. His funeral servicesare pending.

Please keep these families inyour prayers.

A huge crowd of mourners gath-ered for Delane Nixons funeral inBelle Fourche Thursday. Thechurch was packed as a lot of cow-boys and ranchers came to say

goodbye to an old friend. SheriffFred Lamphere was at the funeraland I visited with him about thepipe bomb highway workers foundon Highway 34 east of BelleFourche during the Sturgis Motor-cycle Rally. The bomb squad deto-nated the bomb under several feetof sand and Fred showed me avideo of the explosion on his cellphone. Within seven minutes fromthe time Sheriff Lamphere calledthe bomb squad, a bomb threat wasreceived at the Loud American inSturgis and the building was evac-uated. No bomb was found, but itmakes you wonder if the two inci-dents might be connected.

This was County fair week.There were fairs in Harding County
