Cold Cut Sub, Peas When The Honeymoon Is Over Dakota Senior Meals BY DARIS HOWARD My wife, Donna, grew up in Los Angeles, and I was afraid my rural upbringing would scare her off. But she was one of the few girls I met who was not afraid to try new things. I was also always willing to try new things, and I found myself stepping out of my comfort zone many times as we visited her family. Donna and I both learned a lot from each other, and as time went on, we married. There were things about city life that were tough for me, but it was Donna who ended up with the biggest challenge. The night after we were married, we had a reception, then we left to spend two weeks on our honeymoon. We traveled to meet family members who were scattered across the United States. We arrived back at my parent’s home on a Thursday evening, with plans to spend Friday setting up for an open house that would be on Saturday. I was one of the youngest boys of my family, so my father had sold the cows when I left home and rented out the farm. But he still kept about a dozen young heifers. The night we arrived, he came to talk to me. “Daris,” he said, “the heifers were all bred about the same time, and if my calculations are correct, I think arm. This was something I had done they should be calving anytime. Would hundreds of times while I was growing you mind checking on them for me up, but it was new to Donna, and she tomorrow?” looked on wide-eyed.

A yearlong registration implemented in March is among several academic changes taking effect this semester that also include new academic majors and a bookstore loan program. Jim Moran, USD provost and vice president of academic affairs, said students like the longer registration time frame because they can plan for the entire academic year. It also helps departments know what classes need to be offered to ensure students finish a bachelor’s degree in four years, he said. USD has added several business administration programs focused on entrepreneurism and two other majors to meet demand for paramedics and people skilled in sport marketing & media. Also new this year is a program that allows students to borrow up to $500 for books until their financial aid or other support comes in, so they don’t fall behind, Moran said. “For our students, with the emphasis on liberal arts education, it’s not just preparation for a career but also for life and contributing to the community,” he said of USD’s goals. “Leadership, judgment, responsibility, engagement and integrity. We’re seeing some adaptations in our courses and increasing the opportunity for students to study abroad and for service learning, internships and undergraduate scholarship experience. All of these things that create a distinctive education and provide students with a way of thinking and a way of looking at the world that prepares them for citizenship as well as for a career.” TODD’S ELECTRIC SERVICE “The Line To Power” Design/Build • Fiber Cabling • Commercial • Residential Service Calls • Boom Truck with Auger • Trenching Serving the Beresford and Vermillion Areas 1-800-560-2518 1221 Cornell St., Vermillion, SD • 605-624-5642 201 NW 13th St., Ste. 3, Beresford, SD • 800-560-2518 Beginning Oct. 13th THE STRIP TILL ADVANTAGE Elk Point, SD SERVICES AVAILABLE • Custom Strip Till • GPS Soil Sampling • Soil Fertility Planning • Yield Data Analysis • Crop Consulting Reserve your acres for this fall, Call today JOEY HANSON Crop Consultant/CCA 605.659.4783 • joey.hanson@diversifiedagronomy.com • Highly efficient use of fertilizer by directly placing below the crops roots and minimizes tie-up unlike broadcast applications • Dual placed nutrients that promotes early, healthy root development and creates an optimum, fertile environment for seed • Increases yield while lowers inputs such as labor, fuel, and reduced wear and tear on your equipment • Offers best of both worlds: Conservation aspects of no till, plus, increased yields and soil quality of conventional tillage 13th CUSTOM STRIP TILL • CALL 605.659.4783
