Faith City Council held aengthy discussion on Tuesday,

August 20th on connecting citywater to Bill Hibners property,which is out of the city limits.Mayor Haines told council mem-

ers to speak for or against. Ac-ording to Donn Dupper the

water pressure is good in thatrea but the volume is down ande doesnt know why at this time.

He will be doing some checking ont next week, it could be air in thene. Riley asked if the property

ad to be annexed ino the city toet city water. Attorney Bogueaid they had nothing in theirode that required it. Helleksonsked if Tri County was addingny new hookups. It was thoughthat they had added some since007. Bogue gave members copiesf two documents he had fromears ago when JW Baxter ownedhe land and sold to others, andhe water situation then. The

City approved a water tap to JWwith a 4 line in turn for an ease-ment. Charles Steen was the firstne to request city water. His

land is in the city limits as aremost of the others. The city paidpart of the cost and the landown-ers were assessed the balancewhich was paid over a ten yearperiod. If the property is within200 of the city limits they can ex-tend the water line in and assessit to the landowner. Hibnersproperty is beyond the 200. Atty.Bogue said there is no statutethat they have to assess. The cityalso doesnt have to provide waterbut they can if they choose. Hib-

ner said he would pay for the con-nection from Fred Hulms to hisplace. Karen Inghram wonderedwhat size pipe the main is. Dup-per told her 6, but the one northis 4. Inghram stated that most ofthose north of town have livestockso use more water than the aver-age household in town. James In-ghram said he hardly had anywater pressure at his house forsome reason. He asked if he couldhave access to the 4 line too.Dupper told him he could if coun-cil approves it. Bogue stated ifcouncil is going to approve Hib-

ners connection they need tostate whether it would be as-sessed or not. Hibner thought ifhe paid for the line from the mainto his property that would be hisassessment. Bogue said accordingto anything he could find in theminutes that the owners paid thecost and the assessment. Hibnerwondered why Baxter wasnt as-sessed. Bogue said he didntknow, he could only go by whatwas found in the minutes. Hewent on to say that any improv-

ments made, as water, the citycan assess as they deem fit. Theminutes didnt say what amountthe owners were assessed perfront footage. Jon Collins saidthey need to determine whowould be responsible for repairs,etc. The city is not responsible foranything beyond the main line.Berndt felt that if the city is goingto provide water, the propertyshould be in the city limits. SandyRasmussen asked how they couldannex Hibner into the city limitsand not annex Fred Hulm. HibContinued on Page 3

PIERRE, S.D. The statesACT scores are on the rise, anddespite one of the highest partici-pation rates in the nation, SouthDakota continues to see above-av-erage performance by test-takers.

Nearly 80 percent of SouthDakotas 2013 graduates took the

ACT. The students earned an av-

erage composite ACT score of21.9, compared to a national av-erage of 20.9. The state averagehas been at 21.8 for the past threeyears.

The fact that such a high per-centage of our students choose totake the ACT, and perform well,is a good indication that they areplanning on some sort of postsec-ondary education experience,which is a must in todays world,said Secretary of Education Dr.Melody Schopp.

As South Dakota transitions tonew college-ready standards inEnglish and math at the K-12level, Schopp says educators andparents should be looking moreclosely at ACT benchmarks.These benchmark scores providean indication of how students willperform once they enter a post-secondary institution. Specifi-cally, a benchmark scoreindicates that the student has a50 percent chance of obtaining aB or higher or a 75 percent chanceof obtaining a C or higher in thecorresponding college course.

Of the 2013 South Dakotagraduates who took the ACT, 72percent met the benchmark inEnglish, compared to 64 percentnationally. Fifty-two percent metthe benchmark in reading, com-pared to 44 percent nationally. Inmath, 53 percent of South Dakotagraduates met the benchmark for

college readiness, compared to 44percent nationally. And in sci-

ence, 46 percenbenchmark, comcent nationally.

Barbara Ann Bateson Reeve,e 88, of Bella Vista, Arkansasssed away at her home on Au-st 14th, 2013. Barbara was asident of Opal, SD from 1960

ntil 2010 when she and her hus-nd moved to Arkansas to liveth their daughter.Barbara was an energetic,sy gal in her younger years.

he was born in Camden, Newrsey on June 5, 1925 to Josephilliam Bateson and Jenna Woodateson. She grew up in Floridad New Jersey. Her father wastrain engineer back in Bar-ras younger days and shever tired of telling tales of herther and the railroad. After herther retired from the railroad

had a painting business inorida in the winters and themily headed for Ocean City, NJthe summers where her father

wned a couple of restaurants on

e boardwalk in Ocean City.arbara loved to tell her familyd anyone else who would listenout those days of working inr parents restaurants, thoseys remained precious and clearher mind all through her li fe.Barbara met and marriedmal Reeve in 1946 while Ermal

as stationed in Florida duringWII. Ermal eventually moveds new bride to Nebraska whereey worked for ranchers until60, when they moved to the

pal area and remained therenching until 2010.Barbara loved the Lord andople and was very involved ine Opal community church forany years, she knew how toeer people up when they werewn and loved to make peopleugh. She was also involved inarm Bureau, serving as an offi-r in the local chapter, she par-ipated with the county

extension ladies group and sat asa judge at county fairs, and wasinvolved and volunteered for justabout anywhere help wasneeded.

At home she grew huge beauti-ful gardens year after year,cooked and baked up a storm. Shewas an amazing seamstress andmade every piece of clothing thather family wore. She could do anycraft she had a mind to turn herhand to and loved teaching othersto learn to craft or sew, especiallyyoung women and new wives. Asall ranch women of her day shewas up at dawn and still workinglong after the sun went down. Sheloved to learn and help others andher love of giving of her talentswas always an inspiration.

In her early 50's Barbara lostmost of her hearing and at thesame time her memory began tofail and she was deeply saddened

at her loss of ability to do all thethings she used to do and be in-volved with people and activitiesshe loved. Her family choses to re-member the vibrant, giving per-son she was until she became illat what seemed to be much tooyoung of an age. We are thankfulto have shared her life and havebeen touched by the special per-son that she was.

Barbara is survived by herhusband of 67 years, Ermal; onedaughter, Virginia, and her hus-band Larry Schoenwald, all ofBella Vista, Arkansas; one grand-son, Adam Schoenwald of Ben-tonville, Arkansas; 2 grand-daughters, Amber Desarae(Schoenwald) Hoskins, of Pine-ville, MO, and Jenna MarieSchoenwald of Fayetteville, AR;one brother William Bateson ofOcean City, New Jersey; 3 greatgrandsons, 2 great granddaugh-ters and 2 nieces and nephews.

arbara Reeve D.C. Booth Historic NationalFish Hatchery (NFH) has been alandmark in Spearfish since1896. D.C. Booth Historic NFHcurrently propagates trout for theBlack Hills through a cooperative

effort with the State of SouthDakota; serves as a Americanfisheries archive to protect andpreserve fisheries records and ar-tifacts for educational, research,and historic purposes; providesinterpretive and educational pro-grams for the public; and is a cul-tural treasure located on theNational Historic Register.

For numerous years the Na-tional Fish Hatchery System, abranch of the U.S. Fish andWildlife Service, has struggledwith declining funding and an-nual increases in the costs ofdoing business (utilities, fuelcosts, supplies, etc.). The actualimpacts are even greater whenyou take into account the signifi-

cant budget challenges resultingfrom across the board cuts man-dated by sequestration.

In addition to these ongoing fi-nancial issues, the U.S. Fish &Wildlife Service Directorate inWashington D.C. have empha-sized and prioritized other pro-grams over those of the NationalFisheries Program. As a result,the agency has made the decisionto permanently shut down multi-ple fish hatcheries nationwide, in-cluding the D.C. Booth HistoricNational Fish Hatchery. This clo-sure is expected to be effective Oc-tober 1, 2013.

The Booth Society, Inc., the cit-izen-based nonprofit friendsgroup of D.C. Booth NFH, hascommitted itself to advocating forkeeping D.C. Booth Historic NFHopen as a U.S. Fish & Wildlife

Service hatchery, as it is today.The Booth Society is againstwasteful spending and supports afiscally sound government. How-ever, the national fisheries pro-gram and a facility like D.C.Booth are excellent examples ofgood government spending. Theyprovide an economic impact thatthe public should be proud of. Forexample a 2011 economic impactstudy indicates that:

Each taxpayer dollar bud-geted for the National FisheriesProgram generates $28 in eco-nomic returns ($28 : $1). The rev-enue generated can be seen atsporting goods stores, marinas,boat dealerships, guides and out-fitter services, bait shops, gas sta-

tions, restaurants, and hotels.68,000 American jobs are at-

tributable to the economic contri-bution of the National FisheriesProgram.

The National Fisheries Pro-gram contributes $3.6 billion inannual contributions to the U.S.economy. That equates to $70million a week or $10 million aday. In fact, a company with $3.6billion in annual profits wouldrank No. 41 on the Fortune 500List of Americas Most ProfitableCorporations behind Verizonbut in front of Kraft Foods.

air SeasonEvery year, South Dakotans of

ll ages enjoy attending the fairscross our state. Whether it is theurner County Fair, Centraltates Fair, Brown County Fair,akotafest, the State Fair, or anyvent in between, these fairs

mark an annual tradition thatamilies look forward to all year.

I know a trip to the State Fairs not complete for me if I donttop by the Pork Producers orattlemens booth for a sandwichnd learn the latest news fromvestock producers. Fairs are alsochance to see familiar faces and

econnect with old friends.Many of the fairs provide edu-

ational opportunities for youngeople to meet other students

who have similar interests fromround the state. FFA and 4-Htudents look forward to opportu-ities to exhibit produce and craftems, or show the animals theyave carefully raised in the

months leading up to the fair.When they arent competing,many of the young people willtake a ride or two, pick up a yardstick, or play a few games.

Adults can enjoy perusing thebooths at exhibit halls, wherethey can find the latest gadgetsand home products. Many enjoylistening to speakers, watchingthe daytime entertainment, ortaking in an election year debate.

At night, the whole family canround out the day with a concertfrom a favorite band or attend therodeo for some entertainment.These large performances alwaysdraw a crowd and invite a largeraudience to the fair.

Time spent at the fair helpscreate lasting family memories.Hopefully everyone has had achance to take in at least some ofthe sights, tastes, and sounds ofthis great South Dakota summertradition.

er stated that if he had to be an-exed in he wouldnt use the cityater. He would dig another well.ouncil voted, 4-2, to annex Hib-er into the city limits if he wantsater. Hibner left the meetingisappointed with councils deci-on.Dupper told council that Ken-

ebec Telephone Co. has under-

round telephone cable, theyent all fiber optic, that they are

elling cheap and that maybe thety should buy some. It would bebout a fourth of the cost of get-ng new elsewhere. Council ap-roved buying $3-5,000 of it.

Debbie had a letter fromMitchell Technical Institute ask-ng for a donation. This is where

most cities get their electricians,tc. but most cities dont donate.ouncil rejected the request.Council approved Kenny

lown and Jack Slides Off as cer-fied security guards duringtock Show at $12 hr.

Council also approved payingisa Wagner for bartending dur-

ng Stock Show at the same wages the others, $10 hr.

Kristy Medrud was approveds jail matron during Stock Show,t $7.25 hr.

Council approved reimbursinghe lifeguards for the cost of theirertification.

The agreement for pavementt the airport was approved, with

Mayor Haines signing as theponsor, a standard procedure.he cost for the pavement wasround $700.

One of the city pickups wasamaged in an accident. Counciliscussed whether to have it re-aired or to replace it. Dupperaid it would be nice to have a

utility pickup so they could haveall the tools in it. They have $500deductible on it. They dont knowif it is worth having repaired.Council decided to table it untilthey have insurance informationon it.

Committee reports were thenext topics. Riley reported thatthe street committee discussed

several items: tarring half thestreets and the road north oftown, dips in the area west of 73,repairing the blade at a cost of ap-proximately $5,000. The bar com-mittee is waiting for a quote for acooler for underneath the bar.Patty is replacing the dart ma-chine with a shuffleboard. Berndtreported that the fire departmentneeds bunker gear. Grants are nolonger available for this gear.They would purchase a few at atime; they cost about $3700 each.They also would like to put moneyaside for a pumper truck. Hosswill be holding EMT class this fallso hopefully they can gain somenew members. She said that Dr.Fish from Eagle Butte had do-nated an spine splint to the am-bulance. The other members hadnothing to report at this time.

Mayor Haines told members toget any items to Debbie for thenext agenda.

Council retired into executivesession at 8:10-8:42 to discusspossible litigation.

Debbie said she needs commit-tees to get their big expense itemsto her so she can start on thebudget.

Rapid City where Quirt saw adoctor. He has had a bug sinceTuesday. Now I think he sharedhis headache/stomach thing withgrandma.

John Samuelson ate lunch

with us Saturday. He and Haroldwere moving machinery back toour place as they were done com-bining wheat.

The other day I was noticingall the blinged up cowgirl boots onthe Internet and as usual I could-nt help thinking they wouldntstay that way long if they reallygot used for what a cowgirl needsto use boots for. When I was abright eyed, bushy tailed, collegefreshman all the rage was feath-erlite boots. I raced right out andgot mine and wore them to ridein. Dumb, dumb idea. Since theboots were featherlite becausethey didnt have a welt aroundthe sole the stirrup scuffed up thesides of my new boots pretty darn

bad before we got home. Usuallytheres a down side to some of thecutesy in things. Sometimesthings arent used because theressome good reason they went outof style. Take for example the newrage of farm sinks. Farm sinksare one big sink that takes up thespace of your current double sink.I remember people having thoseand they couldnt wait to get ridof them. Reason: It takes toomuch water to fill them everytime. Many women went out andbought a metal bowl or used a bigTupperware bread bowl to washdishes in. I watch people withtheir new farm sink and think,Hmmm how long till daddy saysthe water bill is too high? Or how

about the houses with high ceil-ings and exposed beams? I thinkwarm air rises and high ceilingscost more to heat a room. CourseI been wrong before. We are sup-posed to learn from our past mis-takes but it seems that many ofus are so busy being stylish welose all common sense and mem-ory.

Another fall with schools start-g and the weather heating up.hy is it that fall always bringsgh temps when its time for kidsbe seated and concentrating onhool work? Good news tho most

the schools now have air condi-ning which makes a lot of dif-rence. Remember when the onlyace with AC was the office? Iver did figure out why they gotwhen the rest of us were

apped in hot rooms with 18-20weaty, wiggly bodies. When youop and think about it, maybee kids who were always gettingnt to the office were a lot

marter than the rest of us do-oders.As Harold says, Last year we

uld not buy a rain, now it rainssprinkles every 3-4 days. We

st had .5 of rain but it didnt douch towards cooling things untile sun went down. I was on aocery/prescription run to Faith

aturday where the bank clockid 99 degrees. The officialeather said 98 in Faith that day.hichever you believe, I know itre was hot.Vonnie O'Dea was in Philip on

uesday for appointments. Sheet her sister, Betty Smith, fornch and later visited her Aunteanor Kroetch at the Silverleafsisted Center before comingme.Sunday, Jim and Vonnie O'Dea

Preventing BERAs The Garden Gate closes for

another season we want to wishou a bountiful harvest from yourarden and know you will belanning next years garden be-ore the frost finishes the season

or 2013.As you plan for next year, here

are a few suggestions that mayhelp you prevent, or at least di-minish, tomato blossom end rotBER) for 2014.

There are several ways you canake precautions for next year'srop! Prevention starts this Fall

with soil preparation and movesight into seedling preparation inarly Spring.

Carefully harden off youngeedlings gradually to protecthem from extreme temperatures

and conditions.Select a planting area with

ood drainage.Avoid setting out plants too

arly in the season, which can ex-

ose them to cold temperaturesand cold soil. Allow soil to warm

efore planting.Work in plenty of compost

and organic matter into the soilefore planting, so that thelants root system has a betterhance to grow strong and deep.

This can be done in the fall afterou have cleaned up all the plant

material, or if it is disease free,worked it into the soil.

If you had to water exten-ively this season it may be help-ul to your soil to add lime to allour garden soil to reduce thealinity caused by well water inhis region.

Add quick-release lime (NOTQuick-lime) but HorticultureLime, a mixture of calcium car-bonate and magnesium carbon-ate; or Gypsum, calciumsulphate) when planting toma-toes so that theres plenty of cal-

cium in the soil and its absorbedquickly. Tomatoes grow bestwhen the soil pH is about 6.5.

Keep your tomatoes watersupply even throughout the sea-son so that calcium uptake is reg-ular. Tomatoes need 1-3 inches ofwater a week. They perform bestwhen watered deeply a couple oftimes a week rather than superfi-cially every day.

Mulch plants once estab-lished to maintain moisture lev-els.

Once blossoms emerge, applytomato fertilizer that is high inphosphorus (the second numberin a fertilizers three-number se-ries), like 4-12-4 or 5-20-5. Toomuch nitrogen (the first number)

or large amounts of fresh manurecan prevent calcium uptake. Toomuch nitrogen also increases fo-liage at the expense of fruit.

Cultivate carefully aroundtomato plants to avoid damagingroot systems. Try not to dig morethan an inch or two deep aroundplants.

Youth is like spring, an overpraised season more remarkablefor biting winds than genialbreezes. Autumn is the mellowerseason, and what we lose in flow-ers we more than gain in fruits.~Samuel Butler

School may have started butsummer is still here! Its been ascorcher this week. The air condi-tioner works overtime and keep-ing everything hydrated is a fulltime job. Local schools startedthis week and school buildings

without air conditioning have gotto be really uncomfortable. Theradio reported that Pierre kidswere sent home early on Mondaybecause of the heat and will prob-ably be released early the rest ofthis week. I wouldnt be surprisedif several other schools do thesame.

It was pretty hot in Pierre lastweek. After the Executive Boardmeeting Monday afternoon, I gotin my car parked in front of theCapitol building and the car ther-mometer registered 106 degrees!I kept the AC on high all the wayback to the ranch.

It was blistering hot Tuesdaymorning when Eudell Larson andhis son went antelope hunting

here. They have archery tags andwe have antelope. A big buck an-telope hangs out near our mailboxand there are a dozen or moreother antelope here. Eudell andhis son came Monday night andall the antelope disappearedTuesday morning so the huntersleft empty handed that evening.The antelope have returned sohopefully the hunters will too!

The creek finally dried upenough to cut so Reub startedhaying the slough grass. He gotboth the rake and the baler stuckTuesday. Eudell was here to pullhim out the first time and Caseypulled him out the second time.Reub and Casey moved the hay-ing machinery to Gordon Helms

alfalfa field west of Prairie Cityon Wednesday and put up enoughsquare bales to get us throughlambing next spring. Nothingsmells sweeter than freshly cutalfalfa.

The fire trucks got called to ahayfield fire southeast of PrairieCity Wednesday. So far, wevehad enough moisture that wehavent had many fires aroundhere, but right now there are overfifty major fires raging across thewestern United States.

Ive been getting questionsabout my bill that passed to allowthe killing of wolves in SouthDakota. The law took effect onJuly 1st, but until USFW takesthe wolf off the EndangeredSpecies list in the lower 48 states,

its still illegal to kill a wolf inwestern South Dakota. USFWplans to remove the wolf from theEndangered Species list and thecomment period remains openuntil September 11, so if youhavent filed your comment yetyou still can. Go to the federalrulemaking site at www.regula-tions.gov and submit your com-ment on the Gray Wolf: DocketNo.[FWS-HQ-ES_2013-0073]

I joined a dozen other SouthDakota legislators at the Com-mon Core conference in RapidCity Saturday to learn moreabout the Common Core curriculathat is coming to us from the fed-eral government. What we heardis really concerning. 45 states

have adopted the Common Corenational standards, and they arebeing implemented this year.Why did they agree to this? Be-cause the Obama administrationhad $4.35 billion of Race to theTop federal funds, and states hadto adopt "college-and-career readystandards" if they wanted to beeligible to compete for thosefunds. Only four states turneddown the federal money to imple-ment federal standards that willresult in a huge expense to tax-payers in the future and causethe dumbing down of our educa-tional system. Educators fromboth the right and the left opposeCommon Core. To understandwhy, google Common Core for a

wealth of information.A couple years ago Vic Weyrich

A small, important step at theCrow Creek pow-wow

Children tend to be trusting tothe point that they need to betaught to avoid strangers. Adultssometimes go to the opposite ex-treme, quick to mistrust anyonethey dont know.

I often think that has been thecase in the relationship betweenNative American people and non-Indians in South Dakota for fartoo long. Many of us grow up inseparate communities. We sel-dom interact, and we dont get achance to know each other as peo-ple. We grow up not trusting eachother.

A small yet important step to-ward changing that happenedthis past weekend at the annualpow-wow of the Crow Creek SiouxTribe. This years pow-wowmarked the 150th anniversary ofthe founding of Fort Thompson,the headquarters of the tribe. An-ticipating a large crowd for the

event, Chairman Brandon Sazueand the Tribal Council reachedout to the South Dakota HighwayPatrol to lend a hand with law en-forcement and crowd control.

State authority of any kind ontribal land has long been a sensi-tive issue, so the council and thechairman knew they were takinga risk. They did it for the safety oftheir citizens. The Highway Pa-trol responded enthusiastically,offering five troopers and two po-lice service dogs with handlers forthe weekend.

By all accounts, the joint oper-

ation succeeded btions.

Gov. Dennis Daugaard an-ounced today that more than40,000 acres have been surveyedor mountain pine beetle infesta-ions since the Black Hills Forest

nitiative began in August 2011.As a result of the surveys,rews have cut and chunked ortherwise treated 335,000 treesn private and state land. Almost,900 landowners have partici-ated in the initiatives cost-sharerogram.

From the beginning, our focusas been on slowing this epi-emic, Gov. Daugaard said. Weave not yet beat the beetles, but

we will continue working to pro-ect the Black Hills.

The South Dakota Depart-ments of Agriculture and Game,Fish and Parks have contractedwith several Black Hills-area con-ervation districts to hire an av-rage of 50 seasonal employees to

eep ahead of cutting operations.The total trees cut include al-

most 200,000 on private landsnd 135,000 in Custer State Parknd other state lands. Treatmentechniques include removing in-ested trees for use in sawmills,s well as the cut and chunk, cutnd peel, and cut and chip dis-osal methods.

Treatment efficiency rates re-main high. More than 85 percent

of infested trees marked were ver-ified as treated, while only 3 per-cent were verified as untreated.

Our crews are becoming ex-ceptionally good at identifying

and treating infested trees, saidState Forester Ray Sowers, whomanages the Black Hills ForestInitiative. Im pleased with ourefficiency rates this year, particu-larly in Custer State Park, whereour crews cut 100 percent of thetrees marked.

Years of steady treatment inCuster State Park resulted inmarkedly fewer infested treesduring the most recent cuttingseason. Crews treated more than100,000 infested trees in the Parkin 2011-2012, but only 35,000 inthe 2012-2013 cutting season.

Its clear that our efforts havebeen successful in the Park, Sow-ers said. But there is still a lot ofwork left to do on private lands.

Were not out of this yet.Landowner signup for the

2013-2014 season of surveyingand marking has begun and willrun until Sept. 13, 2013. For moreinformation about the states ef-forts to combat mountain pinebeetles in the Black Hills, or tosign up for the cost-share pro-gram, visit www.BeatTheBee-tles.com.

Alzheimers disease may havea rural connection

One of my friends in NorthDakota told me several monthsago, You know what real love iswhen you take care of someone

who has Alzheimers. He and hiswife cared for his father, who suf-fered from this form of dementia,for seven years.

My friend first became suspi-cious that his widower fathermight be experiencing

Alzheimers disease when at 76years old his dad began to havetrouble remembering names andevents that were retrievable justa few months earlier. Within twoyears his father could not betrusted to live alone because heperiodically left his stove turnedon after heating food and began toreceive bills for unnecessaryitems he had purchased unwit-tingly from telephone solicitorsand scammers.

My friend and his wife movedJoe into their home and tookover the management of his busi-ness and healthcare affairs, asJoe had specified previously in his

Advance Health Care Directivesand Power of Attorney forms.They promised they would takecare of Joe, who insisted he neverwanted to go to an old folkshome.

There were embarrassingtimes, such as when Joe blurtedout inappropriate proposals towomen who visited their house orentered the living room unclothedwhile visitors were present. Joecouldnt be permitted to leave thehouse unescorted because hewould be unable to find his wayback.

My North Dakota friendsopted to accept North DakotaMedicaid Waiver funds to allowthemselves to be partially reim-bursed for providing care for Joe.This arrangement, along with oc-casional Respite Care paid

through the Medicaid Waiver pro-gram, enabled them to keep theirpromise to Joe.

Joe had few financial resourcesbecause he farmed rented groundall his life and spent most of what

he and his wife had saved payingfor his wifes cancer treatmentsuntil she died at age 63. Joepassed away last December.

Alzheimers disease is morea symptom complex than adisease with a causal agent,like a bacterium or virus. Con-tributing factors are not fully un-derstood.

Alzheimers disease is a pro-gressive brain disorder thatslowly destroys memory and cog-nitive thinking skills. In Presi-dent Ronald Reagans case, thefirst signs of dementia were ap-parent to him and his close asso-ciates in 1984 while heparticipated in a campaign de-bate that fall.

President Reagan uncharac-teristically fumbled his words andnotes; he seemed tired and bewil-dered. This was ten years beforePresident Reagan gave his digni-fied acknowledgement of having

Alzheimers disease in afarewell address to Americansin 1994, and another ten years be-fore he died in 2004.

Biological changes in thebrain were first detected in1906 by a German physician, Dr.

Alois Alzheimer. He examinedthe brain of a patient who exhib-ited progressive dementia, afterher death.

Alzheimer observed plaques(clumps of brain tissue), tangles(abnormal bundles of nerves) and

shrunken brain tissue in his de-ceased patient. Later, changes inbrain chemistry, resulting in lossof connections among brain cells,were observed as well.

As the brain slowly deterio-rates, thinking capacity and basiclife regulations governed by thebrain gradually diminish until ausually peaceful death occurs.Some medications that replacebrain signal transmitters beinglost, can slow down the diseaseprocess for a while, but there is noknown cure or prevention.

There might be a connec-tion to farming and rural

livelihoods.Althof Alzheimers hadetermined, theridence that growarea may double oping Alzheimer

Applications are being ac-cepted for funding to a SouthDakota beef producer or beef in-dustry representative interestedin attending a beef genetics trademission to the Russian Federa-tion, co-hosted by the SouthDakota, Kansas and Montana De-partments of Agriculture.

This will be the second timethat the South Dakota Depart-ment of Agriculture (SDDA) hasled such a mission, as a successfulmission was completed in October2012 with the State sending threedelegates.

Tentatively planned for lateOctober, the trip will again in-clude beef producers and industryrepresentatives.

Along with personnel from thetwo other states, Ty Eschenbaum,agriculture development repre-sentative for the South DakotaDepartment of Agriculture(SDDA), will help lead the delega-tion on an eight-day mission with

stops in Moscow and Novosibirsk,Russias third largest city locatedin the Siberian region.

This trip will be a collabora-tive effort to not only continuedemonstrating that the U.S., es-pecially the Northern Plains, is atop producer of high-quality beefgenetics, but to help build theknowledge and relationships nec-essary for willing South Dakotaproducers to capitalize on thisemerging market, Eschenbaumsaid.

According to the USDA For-eign Agricultural Service (FAS),In 2012, Russian imports of livecattle rose by almost 50 percentin volume and value, to 137,000head worth nearly half a billion

dollars. Of this amount, the U.S.had the largest share, at over 54percent of total imports, and Rus-sia was the largest market in the

The SDSU Extension Beef Spe-cialist says that the efficienciesthe new laboratory provide to himand other researchers will savetime and allow them to conduct

tests too sensitive to send to an-other lab.

"There are tests, like pH, thatyou cannot do unless you areright next to a lab because levelswill change over time," Olsonsaid.

When working with arearanchers, Olson depends on re-search from Cottonwood FieldStation. He is currently involvedin research which looks at feed-stuffs producers can feed to theircattle to help combat the effects ofhigh sulfate water. This researchis among several studies whichwill be highlighted during theSept. 7 Grand Opening and Tri-County Ag Day.

"We worked to create a day

that highlights research andwhere we can share recommenda-tions with producers based on re-search data," Olson said.

In addition to the laboratory,the new facility also houses asample preparation space, officespace, a heated shop and com-modity storage facility.

Local, research-based informa-on is invaluable to propellingouth Dakota's agriculture indus-ry forward. For 106 years cattleroducers have relied on data col-

ected from research conducted athe SDSU Cottonwood Range &ivestock Field Station nearhilip. This summer the on-siteapabilities were expanded withhe addition of a new laboratorynd multi-purpose facility.

"This new laboratory andmulti-purpose facility is part ofhe modernization program forur field stations," said Danielcholl, Director of the South

Dakota Agriculture Experimenttation. "I'm confident this labo-atory will increase the amount ofesearch conducted at this fieldtation."

September 7 the public is in-ited to celebrate its rich historynd the addition of a laboratory

nd multi-purpose facility duringhe SDSU Cottonwood Field Sta-on Laboratory Grand Opening

& Tri-County Ag Day. The eventegins at 9 a.m. (MDT) with arade show, speakers, breakoutessions, tours and youth activi-es."It's important to educate the

ommunity about the researchonducted right here at the Cot-onwood Field Station so they canake information they need andtilize it to make positive, re-earch-based changes on theirwn operations," said Adele

Harty, SDSU Extension Cow-Calfield Specialist.

Harty said when she workswith livestock producers she oftenurns to recommendations devel-ped from research conducted atottonwood Field Station."Because Cottonwood provides

s with research conducted in aimilar environment and growingonditions as the producers I

work with, I'm able to share rec-mmendations that work locally,"

Harty said.New Laboratory expands

esearch opportunitiesHome to many long-term re-

earch projects, like a grazingtudy which began in the early940s and continues today; Patohnson says the 2013 addition ofn on-sight laboratory facility athe Cottonwood Field Station will

nhance her and other re-earcher's efficiency, as well asxpand research possibilities.

"These facilities have vastly in-reased the scope and quality ofhe research for faculty and stu-ents and SDSU Extension pro-ramming," said Johnson, arofessor of Range Science whoas been conducting research atottonwood since 1986.She explained that until now

here was not a lab on-site. Allamples had to be sent back toabs on campus in Brookings.

Ken Olson echoes Johnson.
