These programs were part of several academic requests from public universities aimed at meeting emerging employment trends across South Dakota. The minor in Chinese at Northern State University will build language skills in an area of growing demand, according to NSU officials. More students are interested in teaching, international business, government positions, and Chinese study abroad options. The 20 credit-hour minor will be offered on the Aberdeen campus and through online delivery. At the University of South Dakota, a minor in Russian studies will build on Russian language and history courses, providing students with intermediate language knowledge and a historical and cultural understanding of Russia. USD officials say the number of Russian speakers in this country has nearly quadrupled since 1980 and continued growth in this field of study is expected. This campus-based minor requires 20 credit hours to complete. Other academic requests approved by the Board of Regents include: •University of South Dakota – Undergraduate certificates, one in forensic anthropology and one in professional ethics. Certificate programs usually require fewer credit hours than a minor, designed by packaging a small set of courses that allow students to develop focused expertise.

This certificate may serve as a credential for those interested in careers as forensic science technicians, a field projected to grow by 26 percent in South Dakota through 2026. •The certificate in professional ethics offers broad training in ethics focused on professional work settings. Designed as a ‘stand-alone’ certificate that could be added to various degrees, USD created this academic program in response to employer surveys supporting a need for workers with professional ethics training in many fields. •South Dakota State University •A minor in land valuation and rural real estate will appeal to students majoring in agriculture, business economics, construction management, geography, and other fields.

In addition, a buffer area on the perimeter must also be weed-free, as well as hay storage areas. A certificate of inspection is completed and sent to the producer. Once a field is certified, the producer has a designated time period to harvest the crop. If the crop isn’t harvested within the time frame, the field must be re-certified to verify no seeds have formed. The producer will identify the inspected forage by a special tag available through SDDA," Moehring said.

Best Western Kelly Inn of Yankton has full time and part time positions available. Kelly Inn 1607 E. Hwy. 50 Yankton, South Dakota JOB OPPORTUNITY hopper.com By Russ Daly, Professor, SDSU Extension Veterinarian, State Public Health Veterinarian In recent weeks, equine herpesvirus (EHV) infections have affected horses in South Dakota and the surrounding region. These horses have been associated with travel to and from events such as rodeos where they have contact with numerous horses from a wide area. While in general, herpesvirus infections in horses are not rare, this particular strain of the virus (the "neurologic" form) can cause severe and even fatal illnesses in those affected - this illness is sometimes referred to as "equine herpesvirus myeloencephalopathy" or EHM. Like the other strains, the neurologic form of the virus is quite contagious and can easily be passed from horse to horse. Horses affected with EHM show signs of illness that begin with fever and possibly some mild respiratory issues such as runny nose, sneezing, and cough. Over the next several days, nervous system problems may develop. These signs may include incoordination, weakness or paralysis of one or more legs (which might look like lameness), muscle tremors, loss of tail and bladder function and, finally, an inability to rise. Infected horses spread the EHV virus mostly through www.missourivalleyshopper.com breathing and fluids from the nose and mouth. Close contact with an infected horse is usually necessary for a horse to catch the virus, but buckets, halters and other tack can carry the virus from one horse to another. An infected horse can be a source of infection even before they start showing serious signs of illness. Horse owners can take steps to prevent EHM from affecting their horses: •During events, limit the horse's contact with other horses and equipment used by other horses. •When arriving home, keep the horse separate from other horses for a period of three weeks. This will allow for easier recognition of illness and will prevent the spread to horses that have remained at home. Limit person and equipment contact between the isolated horse and other horses. Avoid bringing the horse to events until after that time period has passed. •Clean and disinfect any equipment, tack or trailers that accompanied the horse to the event. •Keep horses up to date on routine preventive vaccines and parasite control. While current "rhino" vaccines do not appear to protect against neurologic strains of EHV, preventing these other illnesses will prove valuable in restoring the health of a horse potentially affected with EHM. In addition, all horse owners should obtain the necessary Certificates of Veterinary Inspection/health papers when horses cross state lines. Certain horse events may require these papers regardlesswww.missourivalleyshopper.com of the horse's origin. This practice not only ensures that horses showing early signs of illness do not travel and spread it to others, it also allows for officials to contact horse owners promptly if their horse has unknowingly been exposed to an EHV-infected horse. When signs of EHM are suspected, a horse owner should promptly contact their veterinarian. Take care to isolate the affected horse from others as soon as possible, limit visitor traffic, and manage tack and equipment so other horses are not exposed. The veterinarian may take nasal swab samples for a diagnosis, but this is usually only successful early in the course of the disease. There is no specific treatment or cure for EHM, so veterinarians will outline a course of supportive care. Despite these best efforts, in many horses, the disease progresses to the point where euthanasia is necessary. For more information about EHM and your horse's health, contact your local veterinarian. The South Dakota Animal Industry Board website and SDSU Extension also have information about EHM. Hay producers can add value to their product by having it certified noxious weed-free forage through the South Dakota Department of Agriculture (SDDA). "This is a win-win situation. A farmer can get a better price for their forage and it helps prevent the spread of noxious weeds," said Ron Moehring, state weed supervisor and program specialist for the weed-free forage program. The certification program is the first step to preventing the spread of new noxious weeds into forests and natural areas. Straw used in soil erosion reclamation projects or animal bedding must also be free of noxious weeds. "I'm selling my hay at a higher price, $3 to $4 a bale more," said Travis Ismay of Vale, SD. "I didn't have to treat my fields much differently than I had been doing. I just had to have the inspector come out and certify the field before I cut the hay." Cost of certification is $250 for the first acre and $2 an acre for the rest of the field that is inspected. A request for certification needs to be made to the SDDA 10 days prior to expected harvest date. The crop will be certified using the NAISMA Weed Free Forage list and the South Dakota Noxious Weed list. A field can still be certified weed free if listed weeds are present in the field, however those weeds cannot seed before harvest takes place. “WILL TRAIN” Excellent benefits package.
