"Because the majority of the state is experiencing some level of drought, we recommend that live- stock producers test water quality prior to livestock turnout," North Dakota State University Extension Service livestock environmental stewardship specialist Miranda Mee- han says. "The risk of problems is greater in areas of the state that had poor water quality in 2016." Poor water quality can impact livestock health negatively, accord- ing to Gerald Stokka, NDSU Exten- sion veterinarian and livestock stewardship specialist. "At a minimum, it can result in decreased water consumption, re- ducing feed intake and gains," he says. "However, elevated levels of some salts and bacteria can result in severe illness and even death." NDSU veterinary toxicologist Michelle Mostrom recommends water sources be tested for total dis- solved solids (TDS), sulfates and ni- trates. TDS measure salts. These levels should be less than 5,000 parts per million (ppm) for most classes of grazing livestock. Elevated levels of TDS may not be harmful to livestock health. "However, due to our geology in North Dakota, water with high TDS often have high sulfate levels," Mostrom says. High levels of sulfate can reduce copper availability in the diet. Ele- vated levels of sulfates may cause loose stool, whereas very high levels of sulfate can induce central nervous system problems and polioenceph- elomalacia, a brain disorder in cattle. Sulfate recommendations are less than 500 ppm for calves and less than 1,000 ppm for adult cattle. Hat Tips By Dean Meyer Highway Patrol reports weekend crashes, drug suspect arrest By News/Pioneer Staff stopped on U. S . Hwy. 2 at mile- mately 10 miles east of Valley City. The North Dakota Highway Pa-post 143 near Behms Truck Stop Alexis Rath, 18, of Wimbeldon trol reported from the weekend in for expired registration. When the was traveling westbound on Inter- eastern North Dakota, an alcohol trooper steppedoutuf:thepatrol'car state 94 when she lost control of Once upon a time there was the Kingdom of Gnosis, populated largely by peasants who spent their lives assigned tedious duties because they could not venture out to capture the essence of gnosis. The dukes and knights who ran the land were content to have the peasants do the chores until one day a peasant came to the public square and announced that he had created the formula for curing infantitis, a disease that struck children. That made them speculate about the great works that could be achieved if all, peasants could travel into the beyond to make new discov- eries. But peasants had no way to travel into the beyond. So the dukes and knights met in council and decided that it would be good for the Kingdom of Gnosis to furnish transportation to the peasants so they would have the opportunity to venture forth. So it was done. Every peasant in the land was given a Chevrolet. With all of the peasants now shar- ing in the gnosis, the Kingdom pros- pered and grew strong. Peasants became lawyers, doctors, inventors, entrepreneurs and such. They stim- ulated the economy and paid taxes and Gnosis became the most pros- perous Kingdom in the known realm. But soon some folks thought they deserved more than Chevrolets. They wanted Cadillacs, Chryslers and Lin- in related crash, an ATV crash fatality, and an incident in which a semi- truck's trailer began leaking liquid oxygen. A drug arrest was also re- ported in Minot. On Saturday, June 10, at about 5:23 p.m. there was a single vehicle crash that occurred on 57th St. North in West Fargo. Jason DeLancy, 40, of Fargo was driving a 2001 Ford Mustang south on 57th St. North from 19th Ave. North when his vehicle veered to the right and left the roadway. The Mustang entered the west ditch and vaulted over a driveway approach. The vehicle continued southbound until it vaulted over a railroad track and embankment. The vehicle came to rest on its wheels. DeLancy and his passenger, Danielle Huston, 43, of Fargo, were extracted from the vehicle and transported to Sanford Medical Center for serious injuries. Alcohol was a factor in this crash, and the crash remains under inves- tigation, a N.D. Highway Patrol re- port said. On Friday, June 9, at 9:23 p.m., John Hanson, 48, of Wahpeton was operating an ATV northbound on Richland County Road 8, approxi- mately 2 miles northwest of Wah- peton. Hanson's ATV veered to the right leaving the roadway and over- turned several times. Hanson was thrown from the vehicle and was unconscious at the scene. He was not wearing a helmet, according to the Highway Patrol. Hanson was transported to St. Francis Medical Center in Breck- enridge and then to Sanford Med- ical Center in Fargo. Hanson succumbed to his injuries sustained in the crash and died on Saturday, June 10, at Sanford in Fargo. Alco- hol is believed to be a factor in this crash, the Highway Patrol said.

I've been haul- ing cattle around and going to football games in Vermillion, and going to the feedlot in Nebraska, and generally just not accomplish- ing an awful lot. But I get to listen to the radio a lot. And it doesn't take too long to get tired of certain types of music. All the songs sound alike. So I always look for dumb talk shows.

So they demanded that the Kingdom give some of them better vehicles. But the ability of the Kingdom to furnish Cadillacs, Chryslers and Lin- coins was limited by the treasury. So the councilors said they would not even study the matter because the only way they could give some folks Cadillacs, Chryslers and Lincolns was to downsize or eliminate the Chevies provided for the peasants. "We think everyone in the land is entitled to a Chevrolet," the coun- cilors said. "You can have Cadillacs, Chryslers and Lincolns if you want to pay for them yourselves but we think everyone should have an equal opportunity with Chevrolets." After being rebuffed by the coun- cil, they continued to complain. They disregarded the argument that divert- ing money for Cadillacs, Chryslers and Lincolns would give some an unfair advantage. Eventually, a new Gnosis leader was appointed in the Grand Empire. In her whole life, she never traveled in a Chevrolet so she couldn't under- stand how some folks could be happy without Cadillacs, Lincolns or Chryslers. So she announced that she would use the power of the Grand Empire to help the complainers get Lincolns, Cadillacs and Chryslers. The gnosis councils in the shires asked her how she would finance Lincolns, Cadil- lacs and Chryslers without taking Chevrolets away from the peasants. "We will just strip down the Chevrolets - remove the headlights and other frills to free up money for Lincolns, Cadillacs and Chryslers," she explained. "That means the peasants will be limited in their pursuit of gnosis and the kingdom will suffer for want of creativity and leadership," the coun- cilors argued. "Some will end up without Chevies." "Let them drive Cadillacs," she replied sternly. She disregarded the prosperity brought to the Kingdom when all peasants got Chevrolets and claimed that "peasants were not the best re- cruits for future leaders anyway." Then a warrior from the wars told about the prosperity that came to the Kingdom when warriors were given Chevrolets as a reward for their brav- ery. "My folks were peasants but I went to fight and was awarded one of those Chevrolets," he reported. "Soon I prospered and paid the Kingdom tenfold in taxes," the war- rior said. "So don't tell me that our Kingdom will be greater if we neg- lect the many to benefit the few." nee Im reporting on the top entertainers of the century. The millenium.Or whatever. And I was excited to hear this. Kind of like ESPN's Top Ath- letes of the Century, Fun watching. Some magazine had prepared a list of the top entertainers. I was ex- cited. Wondering how high Gene and Jessie were (that's our neigh- bors), and if the Blue Butte Ram- biers had cracked the top hundred. Then there's cowboy poet Rodney Nelson and writer/entertainer Ryan Taylor. Surely they were in, the top one hundred! I slid up to the edge of my seat. Which in my case does not take a lot of sliding before I hit the steer- ing wheel. Anyway, I leaned ahead. Number one was .... drum roll ..... THE BEATLES! Now I could believe that. Cause I was cool in the sixties. I was cool with a crew cut. But I liked the Beatles. Still do. Number two was Elvis. Pretty good pick. I mean I put Bryl- cream in my hair and shut my eyes half way. And wiggle my hips. Oh, you may not believe this now, but I proveme was super cool Jail house rock and all that stuff. Great time. Man, was I cool. So, I'm driving along listening as they name the top ten. And then they hit me. Madonna. Madonna was number five. Not the Madonna from like Rome or the Holy Land or anything. Madonna from like Playboy and Rodman. She was number five. Ahead of Frank Sina- tra! Can you believe it? What kind of fool am I! (that would be a good song). I mean Madonna ahead of Blue Eyes, And N. at King Cole not in the Top Ten. But the Simpsons are, ,The show,,! ;not Chuck. Madonna and the Simpsons are in the top ten. Well, I went into such a rage. Road rage kind of deal. I started beating on the dash and blaming my radio. Oh, it was horrible. I ran other people of the road. I admit maybe I over reacted, but the judge agreed. When I appeared in court in Redfield, the judge let me off with a little community service. Seems he was upset cause Madonna was ahead of Marilyn Monroe! Go fig- ure. I'm out of here.
