by Nancy Haigh Tradition – doing what has al-ways been done, but is it the rightway? Are new practices a betterapproach? In many instances, one genera-tion has taught the next genera-tion that working livestock meanspushing, yelling and prodding theanimals. Veterinarian Dr. TomNoffsinger’s approach is vastly dif-ferent with results that are payingoff tremendously. Noffsinger said experiencethrough his vet practice and work-ing with feedlots he noticed howfeedlots with similar cattle yieldeddifferent results. The differenceswere in efficiency and health; withthe weather conditions, implantsand health being the same. Hesaid the difference was in the peo-ple who handled the cattle. Noffsinger said people can begood for cattle or people can bebad. How people treat the cattlehas an impact on the animals. Noffsinger noted that livestockwill tell a person what they wantthrough body motions. It is learn-ing that communication that Noff-singer focused on at the Tri-County Ag Day at the SouthDakota State University Cotton-wood Range and Livestock Re-

Livestock handling practices discussed

search Station west of Philip, June8. Noffsinger stressed that a per-son should not get behind the herdand push. “It is easier to pull thanpush,” he said. He said animalswill ask for guidance, some moreso than others, until they all learnto trust the person. Noffsinger saidas a person walks into a herd oneanimal or more will focus on theperson. He said to use that animalto lead the rest. “If the front ani-mal is stopped, no use pushingfrom the back.” Noffsinger touched on America’sperception of the cattle industry.“Inappropriate handling episodesoccur when handlers don’t under-stand how to perform the tasks,”he said. “Why do people do thesethings? Because they haven’t beentrained and are doing things theyshouldn’t be doing in the firstplace. We’ve got to take care ofthis.” To correct this, Noffsingerdemonstrated some handling as-pects on video and using audiencemembers. “If you can’t see the an-imal’s eye, you are in the wrongplace. Cattle die to see you,” hesaid. Where they can see you bestis the front, the worst, is straightbehind. “The animal can’t stand to

have you behind and will turn tosee you,” he said. A producerneeds to communicate to the ani-mal’s eye. He stressed that youdidn’t want to look the animal inthe eye, but look at them to gettheir attention. Noffsinger said four things comeinto play in working with animals– the person’s body position, theirdistance from an animal, the angleand direction the person movesand the speed at which the personmoves. Animals generally should beworked at a 45 degree angle, thisis so they can see the person withone eye while watching the otherside with the opposite eye. “If theywatch you with both eyes, theymistrust you,” he said. The deeperthe angle, the more pressure. Reg-ulating speed is done with paral-lel motion. “It may take 10 feet orit may take a half mile,” he said. “Cattle have poor depth percep-tion. Don’t stand still, moveslightly so they can see you,” saidNoffsinger. Moving slightly, hesaid, is to move weight back andforth on the feet. “A full step is toomuch.” Noffsinger noted that if youwant an animal to move forward,rub from the point of the shouldersdown the back. To move it back-wards, start at the rump and rubforward. He said to also watch amomma cow get up her newborncalf. The momma cow will encour-age the newborn calf to get up bylicking from back to front. Thenwhen the calf is raising up, shelicks from the front to back. When the growth of the animalis interrupted, such as at weaningtime, it can take weeks for that an-imal to start performing again. A producer needs to start sensi-tizing the calf as soon as it is bornto do what we want. “It’s all men-tality,” he said. Start trainingthem at birth – train them forchange of address, first at birth,next is going out to pasture, and fi-nally weaning. Noffsinger spoke of how one pro-ducer, prior to branding and wean-ing, would separate the pairs thefirst night, reunite them the nextmorning, separate them again the

second night, and then brand orwean the third morning. He notedthe calves adjusted to the separa-tion much easier. Local producer Pat Guptill hasused Noffsinger’s approach suc-cessfully in his operation. The agday attendees traveled to whereGuptill had heifers pastured on ahigh intensity grazing rotation. With high intensity grazing, theanimals are kept in a smaller pas-ture and moved on a regularschedule. The acreage varies eachyear on pasture conditions andnumber of animals. Guptill said the old way re-quired a half day of labor, with hu-mans and animals both being tiredat the end. This way, he said, heand one other person can have theanimals moved and a new fence upwithin 30 minutes. The time isshortened considerably if the fencedoesn’t have to be moved. Guptill typically moves the cat-tle at about the same time of day.The day of the demonstration thecows were waiting quietly in thecorner. Guptill had the electricfence open, the cattle moved andthe electric fence back up in five to10 minutes. The cattle moved qui-etly through the hole and immedi-ately with no urging from Guptill.Noffsinger observed that the cowswent right to grazing and weregrazing with who they wanted tograze with; without upsetting any-thing at all. Guptill noted that it takes aboutthree days to train the cattle, al-though some take a little longer totrust him. Noffsinger said he learned fromBud Williams, Independence,Kan., one of the first to teach lowstress livestock handling tech-niques. He said Williams learnedfrom watching kelpie and bordercollies. “What he teaches us iswhat is deep inside a border collieor kelpie.” He also earns the ani-mal’s trust. Noffsinger suggested producerscheck out Internet websiteswww.stockmanship.com (Williams’website); www.cattlexpressions.com; and beefcattleinstitute.org.Videos of Noffsinger’s techniquecan also be found on You Tube.

Dr. Tom Noffsinger, left, presented an alternate method of han-dling livestock which breaks away from the traditional methods.Noffsinger was the featured speaker at the Tri-County Ag Dayheld at the Cottonwood research station west of Philip June 8.

South Dakota faces the possibil-ity of destructive grasshopper out-breaks every year, and predictingthose outbreaks before they hap-pen can be challenging.

Experts look at current weatherconditions and survey data fromprevious years to predict whatmight happen this year. While awidespread outbreak is unlikely,the potential is definitely there forisolated problem areas across thestate.

Early scouting is the key to ef-fectively controlling problemgrasshoppers.

Grasshoppers go through fivenymphal stages before adulthood.They are most susceptible to treat-ments as nymphs. Once grasshop-pers reach adulthood, they aremuch tougher to control. Sincethey begin laying eggs immedi-ately, spraying too late will notbreak their life cycle.

Grasshopper densities acrossSouth Dakota reached historic lev-els in the summer of 2010. Lastyear threatened to be one of theworst grasshopper years since theearly 1930s, but Mother Nature in-tervened. Early warmth followedby a cool wet May and June helpedkeep the grasshoppers in checknaturally.

Newly hatched grasshoppers arevery susceptible to cold, wetweather that increases the preva-lence of bacteria and disease that

Start scouting now for grasshopperscan cause mortality. Althoughthose weather patterns helped tolimit early hatching species, latehatching species thrived with sur-plus vegetation, moderate temper-atures, and a late frost. Perfectconditions late last summer willlikely result in escalatinggrasshopper population numbersthis summer.

Reports have been received inthe past two weeks of hatchesstarting in the southern tier ofSouth Dakota counties and pro-gressing north. If the hatch pro-gresses at a normal pace, mid-June will be the perfect time forcontrol activities.

The South Dakota Departmentof Agriculture, USDA Animal andPlant Health Inspection Service,and SDSU Extension Service willbe collaborating to keep the publicinformed about grasshopper condi-tions and provide producers withtailored information on grasshop-per treatment options.

Agriculture is South Dakota'sNo. 1 industry, generating nearly$21 billion in annual economic ac-tivity and employing more than80,000 South Dakotans. The SouthDakota Department of Agricul-ture's mission is to promote, pro-tect, preserve and improve this in-dustry for today and tomorrow.Visit us online athttp://sdda.sd.gov or follow us onFacebook and Twitter.

To walk through a cemeteryis to walk through history. “A gravestone is something tan-gible to remember that person by.When I drive by a cemetery, thefirst thing I look at is the older sec-tion. I’m curious about the styleand design of the gravestones andthe names on the gravestones,”said Virginia Hanson, archivist atthe State Archives of the SouthDakota State Historical Society, lo-cated in the Cultural HeritageCenter in Pierre. She often lec-tures about genealogy and themeaning of gravestones. Wood was a common materialused to mark graves from the1840s to about 1910 in SouthDakota. “People often ask me why wehave so many unmarked burialsites. A reason is the markers pos-sibly were made of wood. Woodonly lasts so long,” Hanson said. Names cut in wood became lessvisible as the wood weathered.Some wooden markers were con-sumed in prairie fires. Large rocks were also used tomark the location of graves. Some of the earliest gravestones

The meaning of gravestone carvings

in South Dakota were made oflocal stone, with the name of thedeceased and year of death carvedby hand into the stone. Symbolswere added if the family could af-ford it. “Carvers charged by the letter,so if there was a lot of carving inthe gravestone, that was quite aninvestment,” Hanson said. Many of the symbols carved on agravestone reflected the national-ity of the deceased. A Celtic cross might symbolizesomeone who came from Ireland orScotland, and an iron cross mightdenote the German-Russian peo-ples. Some of the common carvings ontombstones in South Dakota wereflowers, gates, butterflies and bro-ken rings. Flowers symbolized con-dolences, grief or sorrow, whileclosed roses meant brevity ofearthly existence. A gate symbol-ized the open gateway from earthto heaven. A broken ring meantthe family circle was severed. Alamb was often seen on the grave-stones of those under 16 andmeant innocence or youth. An in-verted torch meant sudden death

or the sudden loss of an adult life. Symbols often reflected member-ship in an organization or militaryservice. A Sears and Roebuck Catalogfrom about 1912 offered differenttombstones and styles that peoplecould order. “So if you see several stones withthe same pattern, there is a goodchance they were ordered throughthe local market,” Hanson said. The meaning of gravestone carv-ings has changed over the years.Wheat or corn stalks once symbol-ized ripe old age, but now it canmean the deceased was a farmer,Hanson said. “Since 1950, with modern etch-ing, you see about anything as faras tombstone markings -- rodeoscenes, airplanes, farm machinery,or a portrait of a person,” Hansonsaid. Motion sensors make it possiblefor a recording to turn on whenpeople walk by the gravestone andlight sensitive lamps turn on whenthe sun sets. “Back 100 years ago youwouldn’t think of putting a lamp ata grave, but now, a light at thegravesite is a modern symbol of re-membering the spirit of that per-son,” Hanson said.

The biopsy report described ful-minant or raging hepatitis, theviral test was positive for cy-tomegalovirus or CMV, and every-thing else was negative. We thendiscussed her case at length withthe infectious disease and liverspecialists by phone, and kept herin our hospital as we were advisedthere was no advantage gained byreferral to a larger hospital. Despite following every recom-mendation of the experts and thetextbooks, we observed how ourpatient’s liver function continuedto deteriorate. Over the next weekand a half she slipped away fromour grasp and died in a coma, sur-rounded by her children and theirfamilies. This was some twentyyears ago and it taught me howour lives truly depend on a func-tioning liver. But I still wonder about thecase. Why did this common virusfound in 80 percent of the adultpopulation kill her? What could Ihave done differently to save thislovely lady? Despite all the gathered knowl-edge available to physicians,sometimes we are helpless.

By Richard P. Holm MD Despite all the gathered knowl-edge available to physicians,sometimes we are helpless. She was in her mid-80s, a nor-mal-sized classy-dressed lady, whowalked into my office with yelloweyes. She stated her urine hadturned dark and the stool turnedlight about a week ago, was feeling“ishy” now for a couple of weeks,and had lost five or ten poundsover the last month. She noted herbelly was bloated, her skin wasitching, and her get-up-and-go hadgot-up-and-gone. My patient reminded me shewas a farm-wife who, after herhusband’s death, moved to townand lived in an apartment alone,although kids lived nearby. Shehad lead a careful life without ex-posure to excessive alcohol ordrugs, was only taking a multiplevitamin, no herbal supplements,and had only one lifetime sexualpartner. She had never received atransfusion, never been to a for-eign country, no family history ofliver disease or cancer, never beentreated for diabetes, and no im-mune condition like lupus. Her husband had worked withfarm chemicals and insecticides,and although they worked to-gether sometimes moving cattle orwith fieldwork during harvesttime, her jobs mostly involved out-side dealing with chickens and in-side preparing for meals, withoutmuch exposure to chemicals. Inshort, she gave no clue to any-thing, which may cause inflamedliver or “hepatitis.” We admitted her to the hospitalwhere we obtained blood tests, im-aging tests, a liver biopsy, all thewhile monitoring her carefully es-pecially for bleeding problems.

FOCUS ON THE FAMILYwith Dr. JamesDobson

Dr. Dobson Answersyour Questions

QUeSTioN: I'm a father of twosmall children and my wife is astay-at-home mom. Some menmay not realize how difficult it isto spend your entire day attendingto the needs of little kids, but I'mkeenly aware of the strains andstresses associated with my wife'soccupation. What can I do to helpshoulder the load? ANSWeR: You deserve somespecial recognition for raising sucha thoughtful question. As you'reapparently aware, some hard-working husbands seem to be la-boring under the delusion thatrearing children at home doesn'ttake much effort. If they couldspend a day in their wives' shoes,they'd find out how seriously mis-taken they are. Happily, you don't fall into thatcategory. You're sensitive enoughnot only to see that your wifeneeds help but to ask what you cando to provide it. We're pleased to beable to offer you a few suggestions. First, when you arrive homeafter your long, tiring day, remem-ber that your wife has had anequally long and tiring day. Thereare two things she needs most atthis point: 1) adult conversation,including expressions of apprecia-tion for what she has been doing;and 2) an adult pair of hands topitch in, take charge of one or morechildren, wrangle dirty diapers orother debris or begin any other ac-tivity that will lighten her load. Second, don't expect to be takencare of like another child. Pick upyour own clothes and toys. Third, don't expect much sexualresponse if your wife is exhaustedand you haven't done much tohelp. Remember that sex begins inthe kitchen — with meaningfulconversation, compliments, acts ofkindness and some elbow greaseapplied to the tasks at hand. Fourth, get actively involved inor even take over the process ofgetting your kids ready for bed. Asthey get older, you will hearthoughts and questions at bedtimethat won't be expressed at anyother time of the day. Be ready tolisten and be amazed. Fifth, maintain the habit of aregular date night — a meal (fancyor otherwise), a concert, a walk,whatever your imagination andbudget can manage — in whichthe focus is conversation and com-panionship. Make it a point tokeep your wife current on yourday's activities and to find outabout hers. Call her during the dayto touch base, offer an encouragingword or simply say, "I love you."Flowers and gifts for no particularreason speak volumes. Sixth, if your hours at workseem to be getting longer, stop andtake an honest look at your atti-tude. Are you listening to the sirensong that says your career is morefulfilling than your life at home? Isyour commitment to your job turn-ing your wife into a single parent?If so, find some practical ways tochange directions — fast. Finally, see if you can manage totake her away for a romanticweekend, or even dinner and anovernight stay at a pleasant loca-tion where her daily responsibili-ties are temporarily suspended.With planning and creativity, thisneed not be expensive. Anotherworthwhile activity is a marriage-enrichment weekend such as aFamilyLife conference, which canserve as a therapeutic time-outand an opportunity to renew anddeepen your commitment to oneanother. QUeSTioN: I'm anxious to bea mother, but my husband doesn'twant to have children yet. My bio-logical clock is ticking away, and

the tension between us is growing,but he says he isn't ready to takethe step into parenthood. How canwe resolve this conflict? ANSWeR: There must be somereason your husband doesn't feelready to start a family yet. Thebest thing you can do at this pointis find a way to get to the heart ofthose feelings. It's pointless tothink of moving forward until thetwo of you can arrive at some kindof a mutual understanding. This will have to be handledcarefully and sensitively. Somemen can feel a bit intimidated by asit-down, face-to-face confronta-tion. If your husband is like that,you might suggest that the two ofyou spend a day engaging in somekind of shared activity that he en-joys, like fishing or hiking. Then,when you're both relaxed and hav-ing a good time, tell him you've gotsomething on your mind and askhim if he wouldn't mind talkingabout it. A common mistake in marriageis trying to be the person we per-ceive our spouse wants us to be in-stead of being ourselves. So bestraightforward and honest. Re-member you married your hus-band because there was a "spark"of some kind between the two ofyou: an emotional, spiritual, andsocial connection. When there is anegative shift in the relationship,the first thing to do is to attemptto restore and preserve that con-nection. When the time seems right,start by saying, "I really want tounderstand your feelings aboutstarting a family." Based on whatyou've said about him, we assumehe'll probably respond, "I don'twant to start a family yet." It's atthis point that you'll need to steelyourself to resist the temptation towhine, lecture or interrogate.Adopt a listening attitude and lethim say whatever he needs to say.Don't interrupt or take the discus-sion down any rabbit-trails. Whenhe's finished, simply start overand, like a "broken record," reiter-ate your original concern: "I reallyneed to talk about this." If he puts you off again, followthe same procedure. Don't criticizehim or cut him off. Just adopt the"broken record" approach and keepverbalizing your own feelings in acalm and respectful tone of voice.Ask him to give the matter somethought. If this doesn't help you get to theheart of the matter, it would be agood idea to consider the option ofshort-term marriage counseling.Focus on the Family's CounselingDepartment can supply you with alist of referrals to qualified mar-riage-and-family professionals inyour area.

by Cornelius R. StamA man's conduct, in

Scripture, is called his"walk"! The Bible hasmuch to say about how wewalk, morally and spiritu-ally. Many "walk after theirown lusts" (II Pet. 3:3) and"walk in darkness" (John12:35). Some even "walkin craftiness" (II Cor. 4:2)trying to lead others astray.Indeed, even Christian be-lievers are sometimescareless about their "walk"and so cause others tostumble.

Every true child of Godshould be very carefulabout his walk, or conduct.In Eph. 2:8-10 we read thatwhile believers are notsaved by good works, theyare saved "unto goodworks." God's grace is theroot of our salvation, andgood works are the fruit.

Sincere believers inChrist are counted as onewith Him, and it is ex-pected of us that "as Christwas raised up from thedead" after having died forour sins, "even so we also

should walk in newness oflife" (Rom. 6:4).

Christians are exhortedin the Bible to "walk worthyof the Lord, unto all pleas-ing" (Col. 1:10), to "walk inthe spirit" that they mightnot "fulfill the lust of theflesh" (Gal. 5:16). They areexhorted to "walk worthy of[their] calling" (Eph. 4:1), to"walk in the light" (I John1:7) and to "walk as chil-dren of the light" (Eph.5:8). They are exhorted to"walk circumspectly, not asfools, but as wise" (Eph.5:15), to "walk honestly"(Rom. 13:13), to "walk inlove" (Eph. 5:2) and to"walk by faith, not by sight"(II Cor. 5:7).

Much more is said aboutthe believer's walk in theBible, but never are we toldthat it is our "walk," or con-duct, that makes us ac-ceptable for salvation. Ourfailing, stumbling wayscould never earn salvationfor us. On the contrary weare exhorted to walk pleas-ing to the Lord out of sheergratitude to Him.

U.S. Forest Service readiesfor wildfire suppression

and one of which is availablethrough an agreement with theCanadian Interagency Fire Cen-tre. These airtankers will be avail-able for wildfire suppression na-tionwide. The other two air-tankers are CAL FIRE S-2Ts,which will be staffed and availablein California through an agree-ment offered by the state andfunded by the U.S. Forest Service. “The loss of the two aerial fire-fighters has reverberated throughthe fire service community and ourthoughts are certainly with theirfamilies and coworkers as theygrieve,” said Chief Ken Pimlott,Director of CAL FIRE. “In thewake of this tragedy, we reachedout to our federal partners to offerthis agreement which staffs twoCAL FIRE airtankers in Californiaa month earlier than we wouldnormally staff them based on thecurrent wildfire threat.” The U.S. Forest Service is alsoarranging for five heavy (Type 1)helicopters to become available forwildfire suppression nationwideearlier than scheduled. The U.S.Forest Service believes that theadditions of the airtankers andheavy helicopters will enable theagency to respond effectively tocurrent and predicted fire activity.If needed, the U.S. Forest Servicecan also mobilize eight military C-130s equipped with Modular Air-borne Firefighting Systems(MAFFS) to serve as large air-tankers as well as a DC-10 verylarge airtanker. Airtankers play an importantrole in wildfire suppression, partic-ularly during the early stagesknown as “initial attack,” by drop-ping retardant that reduces the in-tensity and rate of spread of wild-fires, enabling firefighters on theground to safely construct fireline.

A twister Tuesday night did agreat deal of damage to propertynorthwest of Wall. Many noted thedark funnel shaped cloud as ittraveled along about four Tuesdayafternoon. Another tornado at thesame time did considerable dam-age to Rapid Valley. On the oldCuller place north of Wall whereHaskell’s live, practically all of thebuildings were demolished. One ofthe largest barns in the country onone of the Townview Farms whereLogan’s are living was blowndown. Damage was also reportedto buildings on Fred Woltzen’splace, Tom Parkin’s, LodaSawvell’s and D. Paulson’s. Therewas no train service Tuesday nightdue to a washout of the new fillnear Dakota City. Owanka re-ported a four inch rain. Some hailfollowed the wind and some dam-age to crops has been reported.

70 years ago… Rains are still falling with a day

or two of sunshine but seldomenough to allow farmers time toget much done in the fields. LastWednesday night, Wall received atally of 1 3/4 inches. This heavydownfall continued eastward caus-ing the Cottonwood Creek and theBadland Creek to seriously attackthe C & NW tracks. Train serviceto Wall was entirely eliminateduntil Saturday night while traincrews reinforced their right-of-ways. One span of the several hun-dred foot bridge across the WhiteRiver southwest of Interior wentout Thursday and another bridgesouth of Conata also washed away.The Cheyenne River at Crestonhas cut into its bank about 200 feetback for a distance of about half amile, washing out the highway. Merle Crown had the misfortuneof having two of his toes crushedwhen a heavy piece of iron fellfrom a truck that he was fixing atthe Oliver Machine shop in RapidCity, last Wednesday, the toes hadto be amputated. He was able to bereleased from the hospital, Mon-day. 60 years ago… The Town of Wall has been busythe past two weeks repairing andreplacing water mains. A thousandfeet of two inch mains were re-placed with standard four inchmains along by the CatholicChurch. A new line from this pointwill be extended to the DowdingPlace. Also in North Wall, mainsare planned to be extended to theCounty Highway shops. In closingthe valves at the MethodistChurch corner, commissionerHarold Welsh, ran into difficulty. Apiece of 2x4 about six inches longwas wedged under the valve. How

this block of wood got into thewater main is still anybody’sguess. Merle Crown won Sunday’s ballgame without lifting his bat fromhis shoulder. Bases loaded, scoretied, last of the tenth, and fourstraight balls.

In Wall,Friday evening, with little or noreason to believe that a storm wasraging in the central Hills, the TVcarried a written message of heavyrains and dangerous flooding con-ditions in Spearfish Canyon, theBoulder Canyon, and finally a fourfoot wall of water coming downRapid City Creek. Wall received norain until well after midnight.

DoN'T FALL ViCTiM ToiNVeSTMeNT "BiASeS"

Richard Wahlstromwww.edwardjones.com

If you’re like most people, you gothrough many complex thoughtsand emotions when choosing in-vestments. In fact, a field of studycalled “behavioral finance” is de-voted to understanding why peoplemake their investment decisions.As part of their work, behavioralfinance researchers examine “bi-ases” that affect people’s invest-ment selections. And as an individ-ual investor, you, too, can benefitfrom understanding these biases— so that you can avoid them. Here are some of the key biasesidentified by behavioral financeexperts: •Overconfidence — Overconfi-dence leads investors to believethey know the “right times” to buyand sell investments. But if you’reconstantly buying and selling inthe belief that you are correctly“timing” the market, you maybewrong many times, and you mayincur more investment fees, ex-penses and taxes than if you sim-ply bought quality investmentsand held them for the long term. •Representativeness — If youmake decisions based on precon-ceived ideas or stereotypes, youmay be suffering from a bias called“representativeness.” For example,if you see that investments from aparticular sector, such as energy,have performed particularly wellin one year, you might think thesetypes of vehicles will do just aswell the next year, so you load upon them. Yet every sector will gothrough ups and downs, so oneyear’s performance cannot neces-sarily predict the next year's per-

formance. Instead of chasing “hot”investments, try to build a bal-anced portfolio that reflects yourindividual goals, risk toleranceand time horizon. •Anchoring — Similar to repre-sentativeness, an anchoring biasoccurs when investors place toomuch emphasis on past perform-ance. If you own shares of XYZstock, for instance, and the stockprice hit $60 per share, you mightassume XYZ will always sell for atleast $60 a share. But if XYZ dropsto $30 per share — perhaps as aresult of a broad-based market de-cline — you might think it’s now“undervalued,” leading you to“snap up” even more shares. How-ever, XYX shares could also falldue to a change in its fundamen-tals, such as a shake-up in thecompany’s management or a de-cline in the competitiveness of itsproducts. As an informed investor,you need to work with your finan-

cial advisor to determine thecauses of an investment’s declineand any actions you may need totake in response. •Confirmation — If you are sub-ject to confirmation bias, you maylook for information that supportsyour reasons for choosing a partic-ular investment. This type of biascan lead to faulty decision making,because you’ll end up with one-sided information. In other words,you may latch onto all the positivereasons for investing in something— such as a “hot stock” — but youmay overlook the “red flags” thatwould cause you to think twice ifyou were being totally objective. Tofight back against confirmationbias, take your time before makingany investment decision — a qual-ity investment will almost alwaysbe just as good a choice tomorrowas it is today. Being aware of these investmentbiases can help you make betterdecisions — and over a period ofmany years, these decisions canmake a difference as you work to-ward achieving your financial ob-jectives.

S.D. Sportsmen against hunger donatemeals to those in need At its recent annual meeting inCuster State Park, the SouthDakota Sportsmen AgainstHunger (SAH) Board of Directorsreported that hunters donated78,735 pounds of game meat toneedy individuals and familiesacross the state last year. Although the total pounds of do-nated meat dropped 25 percent in2011, donations in 2010 wererecord large. “A reduction of donations in2011 was not a surprise to us be-cause deer and antelope popula-tions were reduced during severewinters the past few years,” notedJeff Olson, President of SAH. “It isa double-edged sword for us. Onegoal of the program is to reducethe number of deer in areas wherelandowners are having problems,and that part is working well.What we do not like to see is thenumber of pounds to the needydrop, as demand and need for thismeat is high.” One of the highlights from 2011was the implementation of a newgoose donation program. SAHworked with the South Dakota De-partment of Game, Fish and Parksand the U.S. Fish and WildlifeService to allow hunters to donategeese harvested in the AugustManagement Take. SAH wouldlike to expand donations fromother waterfowl seasons and plansto begin discussions with manage-ment agencies this summer. “Those who benefited from thedonated meat would like to send abig ‘Thank You’ to all the donorsand volunteers for yet anothergreat year for the program,” Olsonsaid. “Many people contributed tothe continuing success of SAH thispast year, including sportsmenwho donated game animals, gameprocessors who worked with us toprocess the animals, and foodpantries that accepted and distrib-uted the donated meat.” Olson also thanks hunters, pri-vate donors and SAH volunteersfor their generosity and help inmaking the program a big success.
