Latham --by Robyn Jones The Kadoka Area School Board held their meeting on Thursday, April 11. Board members present were Dale Christensen, Dawn Ras- mussen, Ross Block and Dan Van- derMay. Members Mark Williams, Ken Lensegrav and DJ Addison were absent. The bills, financial statement, agenda and minutes from the March 13 meeting were approved. Superintendent Jamie Hermann presented the audit report and it has been accepted by the SD De- partment of Legislative Audit. Policy committee meeting was scheduled for Wednesday, April 17 to review job descriptions and mil- itary leave for staff. High School Principal George Seiler presented the high school handbook with recommended changes. Some changes included: stu- dents must be in school for all classes in order to participate in an organized co-curricular school ac- tivity that day, unless giver permis- sion by the principal; parents need to notify the school if a student is going to be absent from school for part or all of the day as soon as pos- sible, calls before 9 a.m. are appre- ciated and calls after are considered an unexcused absence; when absent assignments will be required to be made up by the stu- dent within two days of the ab- sence; students who are placed in in-school suspension will need to turn in their assignments at the end of each day and will not be al- lowed to participate in extracurric- ular activities; and any student who is failing a course and declared ineligible for one week, the stu- dents grades will be checked again at the start of the next week. A new policy section added to the handbook addresses prom rules and conduct. The policy states that prom is a formal occasion; guest must be approved by the adminis- tration, once admitted no one will be able to leave and enter again; only students in the grades nine through the twelve will be allowed to attend; and a dress code. Seiler informed the board that the scoreboard is done and will be picked up next week. Extension will be welded on the support post to raise the new one higher. Senior privileges were dis- cussed. Seiler stated that an open campus policy is being considered where senior students could leave the school during their study hall and not just the first or last period of the day. Also consideration will be given to allowing the students to drive during this time. Seiler ex- pressed this would be a privilege and adds responsibility and trust for the student. If this privileged is abused, the right would be revoked. Elementary Principal Jeff Ne- mecek presented the elementary handbook. Changes to the atten- dance policy included that parents are notified if a student is absent or tardy after 5 days. Upon 10 days a certified truancy letter will be sent to the parents and after 15 days a second letter will be sent. If a stu- dent is absent and or tardy for more than 15 days the administra- tion can consider retaining the stu- dent at the current grade level. If a student is absent and or tardy for 20 or more days, the administra- tion may consider the extensive amount of absences or tardies as child neglect and contact social services. The board entered in to execu- tive session for personnel matters at 8:40 and returned to open ses- sion at 9:10. The negotiated agreement for 2013-2014 was approved with changes that include $750 to base salary, $60 for insurance, 10% in- crease to extra-curricular con- tracts, and increase activity bus driver wages. A contract was approved for Brad Stone as janitor at an hourly rate of $9.00 during the probation- ary period. A resignation was accepted from Laurie Prichard as assistant vol- leyball coach. Two contracts were recom- mended for non-renewal for the 2013-2014 school year and ap- proved. Contracts were offered and ap- proved for certified staff for the 2013-2014 school year. The meeting ended with another executive session for administra- tion negotiations. Other action taken by the board authorized SDHSAA member- ship for the 2013-2014; approve contract with the County Health Nurse for 2013- 2014 for 55 hours at $20.00 per hour; approve track concession pro- posal from the sophomore class; offer extra-curricular contracts for staff with continuing contracts.

Further- more, it promises that followers of God will spend eter- nity with Him in heaven. The New Testament contains approximately 200 references to heaven, most of which are from the teachings of Jesus Himself. Obviously, the topic was quite important to our Lord. Why, then, do we often fail to talk about it ourselves? Sadly, one reason we ignore the subject is that we simply feel too satisfied here on earth. Maybe we think we have it pretty good, whether because of a loving family, a stable job, or a nice home. Surrounded by such comfort, it can seem hard to imagine an even better place. Other people, however, do not have it so easy here on earth. They are the ones who most easily grasp the concept of heaven. They are the individuals who live their lives in need, nursing the belief that life beyond earth will supply all that they lack. You see, it is rarely our desperation that makes it difficult to envision our heavenly home. Rather, our success is oftentimes the greatest obstacle to a desire for the everlasting home where we truly belong. We can become so distracted by earthly things that we grow blind to the spiritual reality of eternal life. Why dont we think more about heaven? Very simply, it is because many of us dont want to go yet! What in your life might be obstructing the view of your heavenly home? Jesus has gone before us to prepare our eternal dwelling, and who would know how to fix a place to our liking better than our Creator? Dont let anything dim your vision of the excellent future home awaiting you.

He was born in Pasadena, Calif., November 25, 1929, to Arthur John "Dick" Geisler and Vivian Christine (Petersen) Geisler. He lived with his parents and younger siblings, Roma and David, in Bell, Calif., where A.J. ran a feed store. During his childhood in Bell, John began a lifelong love of movies at the three local theaters where admission cost a dime. In February 1942, the metal ra- tioning of World War II led to the closing of the store in Bell which had transitioned into selling the latest modern appliances. Leaving the land of sun and palm trees, the family moved to a farm in Blunt during a blizzard. In 1945, the Geisler family moved to Murdo to operate the John Deere and Chevrolet dealerships, the first of many businesses. For his high school education, John boarded at Northwestern Lutheran Academy in Mobridge. His college education was inter- rupted when he served his country as a cryptographer in Korea in the Army 1903rd Engineer/Aviation Battalion. After his honorable discharge from the Army in 1953, John col- lected antique cars from across the Midwest. His father told him, John, you have to do something with those cars, and in 1954 John, his father, Dick, and brother, Dave, opened the Pioneer Auto Museum with 25 cars on display in a single building. John eventually received his bachelor's degree from Concordia College in Seward, Neb. He held many jobs during his lifetime: serv- ice station attendant, copper mine employee, elementary school teacher, social worker, Pinkerton security guard, postal worker, pilot car driver and antique dealer. He most enjoyed his time in the Army and the years he spent exploring the Midwest on trips to locate an- tique cars for the museum. John married Betty (Fortier) Queen November 9, 1965, and gained a daughter, Cathie. Their daughter, Johanna, was born in November 1966. After attending graduate school at the University of Minnesota, John, Betty and the two girls moved to Murdo to be near family and the Pioneer Auto Museum. For many years, the family trav- eled around the United States. John was always on the lookout for antique cars and collectibles to add to the Pioneer Auto collection. In 1985, John and Betty returned to Murdo to live. John loved all sorts of entertainment and public exhibi- tions, attending canvas tent cir- cuses and state fairs and concerts. He loved a good meal; any road trip would be planned around restau- rants that could be visited along the way. John had a companion Beagle by his side for the last 35 years, the most recent being named Martin Luther. In 2002, John and Betty moved to Sioux Falls and later Valley Springs to be near their daughters and grandsons, and to have access to advanced medical care. Both John and Betty faced a number of health issues in the last decade. Starting in 2009, John went through several rounds of treat- ment for thyroid cancer. After a brief, acute illness in late Decem- ber 2012, John entered the hospital and then the hospice program at the Veteran's Administration Hos- pital in Sioux Falls. His family is grateful for the excellent care he received there. He passed away the morning of Monday, April 8, 2013. John had a strong, but quiet, lifetime relationship with his Lord and Savior. He was a member of Messiah Lutheran Church in Murdo and attended First Lutheran in Valley Springs. John is preceded in death by his parents, Arthur John "Dick" Geisler and Vivian Christine (Pe- tersen) Geisler. John is survived by his wife of 47 years, Betty (Fortier) Geisler; daughters, Cathie (Johnnie) Littles of Sioux Falls, Johanna (Mark Dykstra) Geisler; grandsons, Cor- win and Rune Dykstra of Valley Springs and Lee Littles of Sioux Falls; a sister, Roma Bunch, of Irvine, Calif.; a brother, David A. (Leila) Geisler of Murdo; nieces, Vi- vian (Jeff) Sonder, Patty (Donald) Tyus, Jennifer (Bryan) Kaiser, Lisa (Larry) Williams; and nephews, Eric (Janet) Staudenbaur and David M. (Ann) Geisler. Funeral services will be held at 10:30 a.m. (CT) on Saturday, April 27, at Messiah Lutheran Church, Murdo followed by interment at the Murdo Cemetery and lunch at Mes- siah Lutheran.

She was born September 25, 1945 to Orville Tim and Mathilda Tillie Long. She was raised on a farm near Philip and confirmed at Our Redeemer Lutheran Church in Philip. As a young girl, she looked forward to finishing her daily chores so she could spend time with her sister, Sally, swim in the stock dams, fish and visit her many cousins. After graduating from Philip High School, she attended the American Business College in Rapid City and earned a degree in business administration. She married John Jack Still in 1967, who passed away in a plane crash in 1968. In June 1970, she married Danny Kramer in Daven- port. During their careers, they had the opportunity to reside in a number of states, including Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, Washington and California. During her career, Linda achieved significant success in both banking and mortgage in- dustries. Following retirement, Linda and Danny moved from Moorpark, Calif., to Burlington, Iowa. In 2007, they purchased a motor home so they could spend more time visit- ing family and friends around the country. In June 2012, they sold their home in Burlington to follow their dream of becoming fulltime RVers. In her retirement, Linda enjoyed reading, golfing, genealogy, water aerobics and coin collecting, but most of all she relished spend- ing time with her five grandchil- dren, and as she put it, making memories. Grateful for having shared Lindas life include her husband, Danny Kramer of Philip; her two sons, John (Tonya) Kramer of Philip and Jason (Penelope) Kramer of Corona, Calif.; five grandchildren, Coy, Corbin and Colden of Philip, and Kaylee and Zachery of Corona; a sister, Sally (Arthur) Campbell of Port Wash- ington, Wisc.; and a host of other relatives and friends. She was preceded in death by her parents; a brother, Arnold; and her first husband. According to her wishes, her body has been cremated and me- morials will follow in Iowa and South Dakota.

I learned this early in life since my mother thought I should start each day with a glass of fresh-squeezed orange juice. She figured it would be helpful in pro- moting my health and well-being or some such thing. Most days this was fine. Other days, not so much. For one thing, not all oranges are naturally sweet and tasty. Some are a bit sour or dull. Then there are those that have so much pulp you almost need to eat the juice with a spoon instead of drink- ing it. Others have so many of those tiny little seeds that you are unlikely to get them all out short of using a strainer. This hasnt changed much over the years, and buying oranges is still a tricky business. Youre never quite sure what youre getting. That situation is similar in buy- ing lots of other things. Apples are easier than oranges, but you still occasionally get lemons. Ba- nanas, though, seem to all be fairly much the same. One is pretty much like another although eating them at just the right degree of ripeness can be hard to schedule. Meat, though, is often tough, liter- ally, and hard to figure out. One knows that round steak is always going to need good strong teeth if you dont cook it a long time, but other steaks vary a lot concerning tenderness and flavor. Thats one of the difficult things about life - trying to make wise de- cisions. This not only applies to things you buy, but to what you do to support yourself, what friends to have, and lots of other things. I didnt have much trouble choosing an occupation since I was raised on a ranch and was the only son. My dad basically wanted me to take over when I grew up, and that was fine with me. I did have a chance to go on and make a career as an officer in the Navy since, to keep me from leaving when my time was up, they dangled a tasty carrot in front of me. This had to do with the promise of being assigned to the staff of a really weird admiral who was considered the father of the modern nuclear navy. It would probably have been a real plus in my record and a stepping stone to higher rank. Weighing that against ranching wasnt much of a contest though. The rural life was what I wanted and what I chose. I have no regrets about that. I guess I never really set out to choose good friends. I was just nat- urally drawn to those who had in- terests similar to mine. Since I wasnt exactly a party animal, nei- ther were my friends. They just were those I somehow came to know and like. Relatives, of course, you cant choose randomly. Youre just born with them. In some cases, that is just fine. Take my Aunt Bessie, for example. She was my moms sister from California and a real sweet- heart. We got on extremely well to- gether, and I even stayed with her for several months when I was sta- tioned in California during my time in the Navy. Other relatives were mostly okay although a few were marginal. You couldnt dis- own them, exactly, but you could choose how much to associate with them. Choosing business associates is also tricky. I have taken in cattle for people who just plain drove me nuts. They were never quite satis- fied with your care of their live- stock. If there wasnt anything really wrong, theyd complain that the salt licks were getting low al- though they hadnt really run out yet. Other guys would never quite live up to their part of the deal con- cerning payment for services ren- dered etc. Then there are those who just never give you any trou- ble and work out great. The latter is what we currently have, thank goodness. But, you know, we can only do our best. If we do that, we are apt to have few regrets. We can look at products or situations, think about them, maybe do a bit of research, give ourselves some time and not rush, pray a little, and hope for the best. I recently did some of that concerning the purchase of a bag of oranges. They looked and felt okay, were moderately priced, and sub- sequently came home with me. Now is crunch time. Guess Ill go squeeze one or two and have some orange juice. It may be great or less so, but at least it will remind me of my dear old mama who squeezed a lot of oranges in her life for love of little old me. Thats worth quite a lot. Give and Take Lookin Around by Syd Iwan Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. Thomas Edison Last Sunday afternoon, April 7, Susan and Morgan Taft took a cow and calf to Philip. The next after- noon Susan and Heather took a calf with a broken leg to Kadoka to have it fixed. That same day Daniel made it to Martin for another physical ther- apy session and the sessions are helping him gain more mobility with his arm and shoulder. He was also able to brave the snowy roads during the stormy weather and get Susan to work at the Norris Post Office each day. They were able to save all the calves born during the stormy weather. Friday afternoon, they were in Martin for another round of ther- apy. Saturday afternoon Susan and Morgan visited at the Bruce Ring home. Last Sunday afternoon Jessie and Stephanie Ring and Ryan and Reina were in Mission running some errands and getting some shopping done, using up some Christmas gift cards. There was no school Tuesday and Wednesday at Long Valley, al- though they did have school Thurs- day and Friday. Saturday afternoon three members of the Norris Extension Club met at Jessies home to plan for the Area VII Spring meeting coming up in Norris on April 29. Linda Ring was unable to make it to work in Rosebud on Tuesday and Wednesday, but did work full days Thursday and Friday, and half a day Saturday. Beginning Monday Linda will be doing double duty, as after working her shift at Rosebud, she will go into Mission to work in the place of the a worker who was hit by a car while she was walking to work Tuesday morning, because her ve- hicle was snowed in. She suffered a broken arm and will be out of com- mission for a while. Linda stayed home Sunday and celebrated her birthday with her family. April 4, Richard and Noreen Krogman were in Rapid City, visit- ing the Dale McKee family. They returned home the next day. Richard did his best to try to get Noreen to work on Tuesday and Wednesday, but too many stuck ve- hicles defeated them. Finally, Thursday and Friday he was suc- cessful and Saturday Noreen braved the roads and made it on her own. Sunday afternoon Noreen joined the DNP quilters in Mission. Lau- rene Emery baked a cake for Rose Ruff s birthday and shared it with the others. Alberta Allard gave June a ride in to Mission for the quilting session, and got in some work on the quilt she is making for Pam. She showed her completed sun bonnet girls quilt and another top she has almost finished for Cliff. The Mellette County Historical Society will meet at noon on Wednesday, April 17. The weather mechanism at West and Woodwards showed well over an inch and a half of moisture in the snows measured there. Maxine Allard cleared enough of a path to get out to her building for potting soil, which she wanted for starting some tomato seeds in the house. She had a call from her step- son, Rick Ladegard, and his wife, Judy, informing her that they are planning a trip this summer and hope to visit her in August. Rev. Glenn Denke attended the SD District Spring conference for the ministers in Aberdeen Sunday through Friday. The conference lasted only through Wednesday, but closed highways kept them there until they left on Friday. Thursday Kenda Huber took her grandsons, Torry, Braeden and Bradley, with her to Martin and ran some errands there. The next day Bill, Kenda, David and Jonathan traveled to Rapid City, which had reported over twenty inches of snow. They felt that from the looks of things, that we got more snow than that. The previous weekend, Howard Heinert hauled manure for Sim- mons by Valentine. He was sched- uled to haul more this past week, but the snowstorm put a stop to that. The Heinerts did lose two calves during the storm, but they also had two sets of twin calves, so they shared with the cows who lost their calves, and they are now even steven. Blake and Amy Lehman felt that there was over two inches of wel- comed moisture in this snow. Julie Letellier came home Mon- day evening, April 8, as the storm was forecast and she wanted to be here to help with calving. Andrea Beckwith also helped Jim and Mar- jorie Letellier with calving and shoveling snow. They were here all week, although Andrea went to Norris School on Friday for the in- service. Friday evening Julie and Andrea headed for Rapid City to visit Sue and Marty Larson for the weekend. The tulips and daffodils that had been showing their leaves before the storm received a blanket of drifted snow that thoroughly buried them. However by Sunday afternoon, many of the leaves were poking through the melted snow and trying to straighten up and un- curl their leaves. Hang in there, Spring flowers! The fishing season has opened. Jim Addison picked up Betty Ku- sick last Sunday and the two went fishing with some success. After- wards, they went to Jims where Jim cleaned all the fish and gave them to Betty. On Friday, Bettys daughter, Loretta Schreiber, and her husband, Lawrence, came from Quinn. They brought goodies to snack on. On Saturday, Betty took in the open house at Hogens Hard- ware. She said a whole lot of other people had the same idea and the place was fairly crowded. Grady Davis celebrated his thir- teenth birthday on the thirteenth with thirteen people in attendance. His birthday actually was the 9th which proved to be stormy and not great for major celebrations. On the 13th, though, people gathered at the Steakhouse in Philip. This included Gradys folks, Chad and Francie, his brothers, Garrett and Gage, grandparents, Bob and Ruth Fortune, a great grandmother, Marian Nelson, uncle, aunt and cousin, Chuck, Eve and Abby For- tune, plus an Aunt Kay and an Uncle Tim. After supper, the group adjourned to the theatre where they watched Oz which was a de- cent movie and enjoyed by all. Ear- lier in the week, Chad couldnt get to work a couple of days due to the winter storm, but things evened out later in the week. Davina Spoonemore flew south last weekend for her normal army- reserve drill. She first flew to Phoenix and caught a ride to El Paso with a friend. She had a car in El Paso, however, which she subse- quently drove home. Daughter Keeghan didnt go along, but boarded with Chad and Francie Davis and boys while Davina was gone. Greg and Dana Badure and chil- dren drove to Pierre last Monday to deal with their taxes. They were glad it was scheduled for Monday since Tuesday was a poor day to be on the roads if they were even open. Two new baby goats arrived last week at the Badures. Daugh- ter Brisa officiated at the birth of one with the help of Tyrel Mans- field, and MaKaylan and McCoy Bonenberger who just came to see the goats but not particularly to see one born. Greg found out recently that the pain hes been having in his hand is from gout which appar- ently can affect hands as well as feet. Diet adjustments and certain exercises may help. Lee Addison and Rhonda were snowed in a good bit of last week. They could feed and watch over the calving process, but getting to town was somewhat difficult. On Friday, neighbor Andy Schofield plowed them out so they went off to Murdo and visited Lees mom, Marie Addi- son. They took her some eggs and had a good visit. Larry and Joy Dolezal traveled to Milesville and Philip on Sunday morning where Larry preached at the Evangelical Free Church in both places. After lunch with friends, they attended the commu- nity play in Kadoka. It was called, Wizard of Oz and was somewhat smaller version of the orginal Wiz- ard of Oz tale. Joy said that neigh- bors, John and Jamie Dolezal, didnt go a lot of places last week. They were mostly content to stay at home, plowing snow and pulling calves. Larry, Jo, and Jenny Johnston were visited this weekend by Jos daughter, Cora Jo, of Rapid City, and her friend, Skye Barber. While here, Cora Jo and Skye help tex- ture the basement walls in prepa- ration for painting. Jo said their basement project has been going on for quite a while now but is getting closer to completion. Earlier in the week, Jenny got some days off from school due to the bad weather and poor roads. Rudy Reimann took in the gun show in Rapid City on Sunday. He said it was well attended. He didnt buy anything, though. He just wan- dered through and looked. He said it never hurts to look just in case you might see something you need or might want to get in the future.

Stronger Economies Together session rescheduled for Monday, April 22 for the next generation of con- sumers. Teach Children to Save is a national campaign of volunteer bankers who since 1997 have helped young people devlelop life- long savings habits. It includes an annual awareness day in April, Teach Children to Save Day; a video contest for teens, Lights, Camera, Save!; and the Teach Chil- dren to Save website: www.teachchildrentosave.com. Since the program began in 1997, bankers have helped millions of students across the nation to learn to manage their money more effectively. This year, many will re- turn to the classroom to help fill the money-knowledge gap. Locally, BankWest employees, Sarah VanderMay and Belinda Mitchell, will be visiting Kadoka Area Schools Kindergarten through Eighth grade on Tuesday April 23 at 1:00 pm. For more infor- mation on the program, visit www.abaef.com and click on Teach Children to Save. BankWest feels that this is an important part of serving the local community and providing the tools to grow on. BankWest strongly believes that an early understanding of personal finance basics can help children de- velop positive money habits that will stick with them through adult- hood. Guided by the old adage, Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it, BankWest is offering area students a unique- financial education experience through the Teach Children to Save program. BankWest employees will partner with an area school to give savings education lessons. These out-of-the-box- lessons make learn- ing about money fun for students and allow bankers to bring reality and learning together to help stu- dents understand the basic princi- ples of using money wisely. Its ironic: we have to pass a dri- vers education course before we can get behind the wheel. But when it comes to learning about our finances, few of us get the training we need to manage money wisely. In 2008, 73.9 percent of stu- dents received a failing grade on a survey of personal finance knowl- edge administered by the Jump$tart Coalition. The same survey found that some 25 percent of high school seniors dont even have their own bank account. The Teach Children to Save pro- gram seeks to change this situation Teach them while they are young, BankWest offers area students financal education Locals April 18, 2013 Kadoka Press Page 4 Kadoka Nursing Home Cathy Stone 837-2270 Local News Sydne Lenox Join us for lunch Sunday, April 14 Swiss Steak Dinner serving 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Jiggers Restaurant 837-2000 Kadoka Daily Noon Speicals Monday through Friday Serving 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. J0e jam||q ej tacq J-eemaa -eqaet a Ca-d S0eae- |a 0eae- ej 0e- 85t0 J|-t0daq ea up-|| 29, 2tIJ.

Alice enjoys her time that she gets to spend with them and the time she gets to spend with Tammy when she gets her hair done.

Don & Randi Hogens Hardware ratings in the Region 8 Orchestra Competition for her solo, her piano trio, as member of a quartet and as part of Centrals chamber orchestra large group entry. The evening will continue with an auction of donated items to be held following the musical enter- tainment. In the past The Kadoka Nursing Home Prime Rib Dinner fundraiser has helped the nursing home raise money for a sprinkler system. One of the current projects they are working on is providing a fence for their residents who are affected by dementia. A fence would allow those residents the freedom to enjoy the outside. Another project is the purchase of a new stove for the kitchen. The new stove will cost the nursing home $15,000. Proceeds from the prime rib sup- per help ease the out of pocket costs for these nursing home projects. If you are interested in attend- ing the supper, there are a few tick- ets left. Tickets can be purchased from Ruby Sanftner by calling 837- 2270. The Kadoka Nursing Home Prime Rib Dinner will be held this Saturday, April 20 at the Kadoka City Auditorium. Tables will be set and ready for viewing from 2 pm to 4 pm. Coffee and cookies will also be served. The public is welcome to come take a look at the tables during that time.

(Stronger Economies Together) Monday, April 22 5 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at the Bad River Senior Citizens Center Downtown Philip Girls and Boys All State candiates announced Jackson County American Le- gion Post 27 will be sponsoring two Kadoka Area High School junior boys to attend the South Dakota Boys State, May 27-May 31, in Ab- erdeen. The Jackson County Amer- ican Legion Auxiliary Unit 27 of Kadoka will be sponsoring two jun- ior girls to attend the South Dakota Girls State, May 27-June 1, at the University of South Dakota, Ver- million. Logan Ammons, Foster Berry, Racheal Shuck and Raven Jor- gensen will be representing the Jackson County American Legion and Auxiliary. Upon reaching Boys State, citi- zens are assigned to one of the two mythical political parties and to residence in a specific city and county. The two parties are desig- nated as Federalist and Nation- alist with absolutely no connection to political parties as they exist in South Dakota today. With the ex- ception of city elections, which are non-political as they are in South Dakota, party caucuses and con- ventions are held, with full slates of officers elected at county and state level. Appointive officers are also filled. Boys State is a nationwide pro- gram. Last year there were 50 American Legion sponsored Boys States in operation. Deciding the best way to learn was by practicing it, American Legionnaires began, in 1935, gathering teenage repre- sentatives together for a few days each summer in a citizenship train- ing program on the processes of city, county and state Government. As the program succeeded and spread throughout the United States, the American Legion Auxil- iary began a similar program for girls. Thus "Girls State" was au- thorized in 1937-38, and is now es- tablished in 50 departments in our Nation. South Dakota Girls State was founded in 1947. From an enroll- ment of 117 girls in 1947, Girls State has grown to its present en- rollment of over 480 girls. The annual programs have a two-fold purpose. First, to better help youth understand and appre- ciate the American system of gov- ernment and way of life including the rights and responsibilities of citizenship. Secondly, to give a bet- ter knowledge of the fundamental principles of government within the State of South Dakota. These objectives are sought by the estab- lishment of a mythical 51st State of Union, comprised of counties and cities, giving young men and women actual experience in control and operation of these units of gov- ernment. The American Legion and the Auxiliary want the young peo- ple of South Dakota to understand the problems of government, as well as how it functions.

Marcia West Philip, S.D. Marcia was a school counselor, taught basic education and physi- cal education. She dedicated her life to teaching where she was an amazing influence on her students for 40 years, all in the Philip School System. Marcia was honored by being in- ducted into the Philip High School Hall of Fame, SDHSAA Distin- guished Service Award, and BHSU Outstanding Educator Award. Marcia and Michael were nomi- nated to receive the Good Neigh- bor Award because they are huge supporters and promoters of the people who live in and around Philip where they are involved in the local organizations. They are faithful members of the First Lutheran Church of Philip, and have held all the offices of the Church Council, as well as being in charge of the Women's Group, the Youth Group, Alter Guild and Ush- ers. Her husband, Michael, is the head of the AARP Group in Philip. He and Marcia established the 'Old Schoolhouse Park' and maintain it through the AARP Group. They got the Lasting Legacy Monument built, which they also maintain. Marcia heads up the Retired Teachers and both she and Michael are past officers of the Chamber of Commerce. They chair the Cancer Support Group and Relay for Life. They are members of the Wall Food Pantry and help with distri- bution to people in need in the Philip area. Michael is a member of the Haaken Co. Crooners. This group raises enough money to gift a yearly scholarship. This long list of accomplish- ments has inspired Linda Eisen- braun to nominate both Michael and Marcia as individual recipients as Good Neighbors and generous givers. Michael West Philip, S.D. Michael West started his teach- ing career in the early 60s. He taught for four years before gaining employment at Dorothy Brothers' Garage. In the late 80s the Garage changed hands and Michael went back into the school system where he taught and coached. He spent many years coaching all the sports in the Philip School System. Michael has been inducted in the Philip High School Hall of Fame, 1996 BHSU Athletic Hall of Fame, SDHSAA Distinguished Service Award, and 2012 Amateur Baseball Hall of Fame. Wayne Davis Wall, S.D. Wayne is lucky that he is a big man, because he has such a big heart. His heart would not fit in a normal-size chest. Wayne is always willing to come to someones aid if needed. Over the years he has accumulated vast as- sortment of tools and is always let- ting people borrow them when needed. In my personal experience, Wayne has brought over his lawn aerator, plugger and sweeper so we can ready our lawn for the summer. We don't even have to ask. When the time is right they show up in our yard. One time Wayne was talking to a young couple and they were wanting to build a deck onto their house. The next morning Wayne was there early to start the process. This is typical of what Wayne does for his neighbors. Wayne is well known not just in the Wall area, but also in the sur- rounding communities. Having worked for GWTC for 34 years be- fore retiring, Wayne has made friends wherever he has been. Wayne is always looking out for his neighbors. If someone is gone for a while he will check on their property to see if everything is okay. I know if we are gone our place will be well taken care of. Wayne has been the Wall Methodist Church's chair of the Trustee's Committee twice. He is currently serving in that position. Both times a major project needed to be done. Both times Wayne has gone out into the community to raise money for said projects. With- out his leadership these projects would not have been completed in a timely fashion. Wayne is a standing member of the Wall United Methodist Men's Organization where he has helped in a variety of different projects. You just know that he is going to be there. Wayne has also been the Youth Leader for the Wall United Methodist Church. He made sure that in the winter months the youth group would do something special every four weeks. This in- cluded things like going skiing in the Hills or swimming at Evans Plunge in Hot Springs. As I stated earlier, Wayne worked for Golden West for 34 years. He is now retired along with his wife, Gwen. During his tenure at GWTC Wayne attended count- less seminars and classes to stay current with the ever-changing and expanding technologies that are at the forefront of the telecommunica- tion industry. Wayne has been involved with many different organizations. Most of them involved the youth, but not all. Here is a list of some of those groups: Cub Scout leader, Webelos leader, Boy Scout leader, Girls Scout helper, 4-H helper, Youth wrestling, Youth softball, Youth rodeo. He brought back the SDRA Rodeo to the Wall Celebration after years of not having a rodeo. He held the positions of President, Vice President and Secretary of the Wall Rodeo Association. Wayne is one of those individu- als that makes a community suc- cessful and progressing in a positive direction. The Wall Com- munity as well as those surround- ing communities are far better off for having Wayne and his big heart a part of them. Wayne was nomi- nated by Gale Patterson. Robert R. Young Union Center, S.D. Spouse: Susie, Children: Brenda, Robby, Matthew Bob was raised on the ranch where he and his family live, and grew up knowing you had to BE a neighbor and work together in order to survive on the plains of Meade County, S.D. His parents showed him by ex- ample how to help and care for oth- ers. There has never been a time when Bob would not lend a helping hand to a neighbor in need. In the large electrical outages he would volunteer his equipment and the manpower to get the power back on and running. Bob has been a faithful and will- ing helper involving church proj- ects, and for the past three years he has assumed the responsibility of heating the Stoneville Church dur- ing the winter months. When there was snow, he also used his own equipment to clear the park- ing lot. Bob has been manager of the Young Ranch for the past twelve years. The ranch has been in the Young Family since 1908. Bob is the fourth generation to hold that position. Bob and Susie's boys are the fifth generation to proudly work on the family ranch. Bob proudly served in the Na- tional Guard of South Dakota for eight years. He has also beeen an active director of First Interstate Bank for the past two years. Bob has had an active part in the Enning Volunteer Fire Depart- ment for the past 35 years, the last six years as Fire Chief. Bob was a 4-H leader for 18 years with the Jr. Stockgrowers and Busy Stitchers 4-H Club of Stoneville. Bob and Susie held judging schools at their ranch for five years. They also served on the Meade County Extension Board for nine years. I (Harold Delbridge) have worked for this family and have night-calved for them for 14 years. I have always been welcome in their home, as is anyone else who happens to stop by. Robert Young and his family are true neighbors. Catalyst Club Good Neighor honorees by Nancy Haigh The Belle Fourche Livestock Ex- change changed hands recently as longtime owners Dean and Eileen Strong passed the reins over to Thor Roseth, Philip, and Jeff Long, Enning. The deal was announced prior to the exchanges weekly sale, Thurs- day, April 11. Roseth and Long were in charge of the following weeks sale. Roseth has owned and operated Philip Livestock Auction for the past seven years. Long is a well- known western South Dakota auc- tioneer. Roseth said that the two sale barns complement each other well. The Philip auctions weekly sale is on Tuesdays with special auctions, in season, on Saturdays. The Belle Fourche market has special sales on Fridays and some Mondays, along with their weekly Thursday sales. Their trade areas have some crossover, but mostly they serve separate areas. The Belle Fourche Livestock Exchange picks up a lot of eastern Wyoming, southeastern Montana and northwestern South Dakota consignors. The Philip mar- ket hits most of south central and some of the western parts of South Dakota. Roseth and Long both stated they are excited about the new ven- ture and with working with the personnel in Belle Fourche. Rhonda Dreiske is the office man- ager, Ray Pepin is yard foreman and a fieldman and Brett Loughlin is a manager and fieldman. Auc- tioneers are Lynn Weishaar and Doug Jaggers. Other fieldmen in- clude Joe Vodicka, K.P Stevens, Craigh Deveraux and Mike Gree- nough. Roseth said he and Long plan to be at the exchange for the sales. They will also be very busy getting to know producers as well as work- ing to bring in new consignors. Long noted that the Strongs had put together a tremendous live- stock market with a lot of loyal con- signors. The Strongs purchased the sale barn in 1977. They noted that it was time to retire and let a new generation take over. Roseth and Long purchase livestock exchange Passing the reins to a younger generation are Dean and Eileen Strong, left, former owners of the Belle Fourche Livestock Exchange. New owners Jeff Long, right, and Thor Roseth, second from right, are looking forward to working with producers that utilize the sale barn as well as employees of the exchange.

In laymans terms, from the White River to the Cheyenne River, said Thomsen about the area he covers within the two coun- ties. Obviously, I cant meet every- body in one week. I will try my hardest to get out there and meet landowners. Im looking forward to meeting people and working in the area, said Thomsen. A 2005 graduate from Brandon Valley High School, he earned his bachelors degree in wildlife and fisheries science from South Dakota State University in 2009. During college, he held two intern positions with the GF&P in Sioux Falls, and after graduation worked two seasonal positions; all four as a wildlife damage technician in depredation control. The beginning of 2012 he was working full time as a regional program assistant. When I applied the academy, I applied for Philip specific, said Thomsen. The job for Philip came open, and I knew I would not mind coming here. Its a good station; Ive heard nothing bad. The people are great. Itll be a good district to work in. The South Dakota Law Enforce- ment Academy in Pierre is 13 weeks of training required for all law enforcement personnel, police departments, sheriff offices, high- way patrol troopers and conserva- tion officers. Thomsen then did three weeks of post academy learn- ing in Pierre. Then he went through four months of field train- ing; eight weeks in the Chamber- lain area followed by seven weeks in the Spearfish area. It was kinda nice. I got to make contacts in the prairie and the hills, nice to meet in the middle on these, said Thomsen. Though raised in the city, he spent a lot of time on the farm. His grandparents had a farm in south- eastern South Dakota, and his uncle and aunt also have a farm there. He also did some work on a farm outside Brandon. The reason I got involved with this kind of job was I grew up hunt- ing and fishing, said Thomsen. This was mostly with his dad. Ive always wanted to be a game war- den. I love the outdoors. I like working with landowners, giving a helping hand in trying to conserve the habitat and providing the youth with as much hunting as I enjoyed when I was their age. A nice thing about my job is its Taylor Mohnen joined the Crew Agency Ltd. Crop Insurance Agency located at Cactus Flat, SD, on April 1. Taylor is currently studying to become a crop insur- ance agent. He joins a team of six other agents, Rusty Olney, Maurice Handcock, Tanner Handcock, Heidi Porch, and Grady and Bernice Crew. Taylor grew up near Parkston on a farm. He graduated from Park- ston High School and attended Mitchell Technical Institute, grad- uating in 2003 with a Telecommu- nications degree. Mohnen previously worked at Golden West Telecommunications in Wall and the Parkston grain elevator as agronomist. Taylor serves on the Wall Cele- bration Committee and assists with Wall AAU Wrestling. When Crew Agency approached me about coming to work for them I jumped at the opportunity, said Mohnen. I enjoy getting out visit- ing with farmers and also am ex- cited to get back into the ag community. Grady Crew, along with his wife, Bernice, established Crew Agency in 1984 and have expanded the crop insurance business to include partners, Rusty Olney, Maurice Handcock and Tanner Handock as well as Business Manager Heidi Porch. We are very proud to bring Tay- lor into our team, said Grady Crew. We feel his ag and business background will make him a good fit working with farmers and ranchers in western South Dakota. We know Taylor with his caring, common sense personality will pro- vide great service and knowledge of the ever-changing crop insurance rules and regulations. not all about law enforcement. I do a lot with landowners, and with habitat, wildlife and fisheries man- agement, he said. I like this, you dont get that anywhere else. Small town atmos- phere; really big in my part. Defi- nitely different than the big city, said Thomsen. Its awesome, I dont know how else to say it. His first day was mostly spent getting his equipment and working with Brian Meiers, wildlife conser- vation officer supervisor for the GF&P out of Rapid City. Thomsen still took care of local business by taking a barn owl, wounded when getting caught in a fence, to the raptor center in Rapid City. I have been watching Zach progress through the law enforce- ment academy and am very pleased with his performance, stated Mike Kintigh, regional su- pervisor for Region 1, S.D. GF&P. Im also familiar with his prior work experience and interactions with public and coworkers. All this leads me to believe we are develop- ing a fine young officer for the Philip district. For the last few years, the district had been in- cluded in the responsibilities of Of- ficer Josh Brainard out of the Wall office.

EPA ID: 0181 COPIES AVAILABLE AT THE CITY OFFICE Water Quality Last year, the City of Kadoka monitored your drinking water for possible contam- inants. This brochure is a snapshot of the quality of the water that we provided last year. Included are details about where your water comes from, what it contains, and how it compares to Envi- ronmental Protection Agency (EPA) and state standards. We are committed to providing you with information because informed customers are our best allies. WATER SOURCE We serve more than 654 customers an average of 97,000 gallons of water per day. Our water is surface water that we purchase from another water system. The state has performed an assessment of our source water and they have deter- mined that the relative susceptibility rat- ing for the Kadoka public water supply system is low. For more information about your water and information on opportunities to par- ticipate in public meetings, call (605)837- 2200 and ask for Patty Ulmen. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally-occurring minerals, and can pick up substances re- sulting from the presence of animals or from human activity. Contaminants that may be present in source water include: Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage treatment plants, septic sys- tems, agricultural livestock operations, and wildlife. Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can be naturally-oc- curring or result from urban stormwater runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, min- ing, or farming. Pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture, urban stormwater runoff, and residential uses. Organic chemical contaminants, includ- ing synthetic and volatile organic chemi- cals, which are by-products of industrial processes and petroleum production, and can also come from gas stations, urban stormwater runoff, and septic sys- tems. Radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally-occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities. In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, EPA prescribes regulations which limit the amount of certain contam- inants in water provided by public water systems. FDA regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water which must provide the same protection for public health. Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contam- inants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the En- vironmental Protection Agencys Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791). Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immuno-compro- mised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, per- sons who have undergone organ trans- plants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryp- tosporidium and other microbial contam- inants can be obtained by calling the Environment Protection Agencys Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791). If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, espe- cially for pregnant women and young children. Lead in drinking water is prima- rily from materials and components as- sociated with service lines and home plumbing. The City of Kadoka public water supply system is responsible for providing high quality drinking water, but cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components. When your water has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. If you are con- cerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested. Informa- tion on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take to min- imize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline or at http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead. DECTED CONTAMINANTS The attached table lists all the drinking water contaminants that we detected during the 2012 calendar year. The pres- ence of these contaminants in the water does not necessarily indicate that the water poses a health risk. Unless other- wise noted, the data presented in this table is from testing done January 1 December 31, 2012. The state requires us to monitor for certain contaminants less than once per year because the con- centrations of these contaminants are not expected to vary significantly from year to year. Some of the data, though representative of the water quality, is more than one year old. Infants and young children are typically more vulnerable to lead in drinking water than the general population. It is possible that lead levels at your home may be higher than at other homes in the com- munity as a result of materials used in your home's plumbing. If you are con- cerned about elevated lead levels in your home's water, you may wish to have your water tested and flush your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using tap water. Additional information is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791).

Spring tillage is a tradition that is steeped deeply into American agriculture. Now, more and more producers are real- izing that tillage is not in the best interest of their soils health. Tillage was once considered necessary in order to prepare a proper seed bed for planting. Now, we know that we can produce as much or more grain without tilling the soil, says Jason Miller, Conser- vation Agronomist with the Natu- ral Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Pierre, SD. Tillage passes reduce surface soil moisture, but more alarming is that fact that tillage is incredibly destructive to soil; it is like a tor- nado going through a house, says Miller. Tillage collapses and de- stroys organic matter and soil structure. Those macro pores in the soil structure are essential they are what helps water to infil- trate the soil profile, he says. The possibility of 2013 being another dry year should have pro- ducers rethinking their use of tillage, says Miller. In a tilled con- dition, soil is vulnerable to erosion. As dry as the soil profile is start- ing out this year, even getting the crop seeded will be difficult without a concern for wind erosion, says Miller. Winds during the spring easily pick up soil particles on tilled fields before crops can be- come established. Reducing or eliminating tillage, increases surface residue, builds organic matter and preserves soil health, says Miller. Improved cropping systems for building soil should include no-till, diverse high residue producing crop rotations and cover crops. Producers interested in learning more about soil health or wanting technical assistance for implement- ing a soil health management sys- tem on their farm or ranch should contact their local NRCS office or visit the Soil Health Information Center at www.nrcs.usda.gov. Tillage worst thing for SD soils Cropping Choices and Water Use Relationships The precipitation from the re- cent snow storm provided welcome relief in terms of soil moisture. Standing stubble certainly showed its value as fields with stubble caught a uniform layer of snow that will help replenish dry soils with an inch or more of valuable moisture. Depending on what moisture is received over the next month or so, farmers may be wise to consider the water/yield relationship for various crops as they are making planting decisions this spring. The USDA-Agricultural Research Service has conducted research ex- ploring the moisture needed to produce the first bushel of grain and the bushels per inch of mois- ture for various crops. This infor- mation can be highly valuable when making cropping decisions when moisture is limited. Corn is very efficient in using water as it can produce just over 10 bushels per additional acre inch, but also requires just over 9 inches of water to produce the first bushel. Grain sorghum, or milo, is also relatively efficient in produc- ing bushels once the initial re- quirement is met, at 9 bushels per additional acre inch, but takes only 6.5 inches to produce the first bushel. That is why grain sorghum has historically been a popular crop in marginal rainfall areas. Grain sorghum lost some popular- ity in the 1990s, partially due to a volcano eruption that resulted in cool summers for several years, above average rainfall during the same period of time (which favored corn production), and improved drought tolerance in corn hybrids. Summer temperatures have re- turned to higher levels in more re- cent years, and the uncertainty of rainfall may bring resurgence in the interest in sorghum. Sunflower requires slightly more water to produce the first bushel/pound of grain than sorghum at 6.9 inches, and fewer equivalent bushels (6.3) per inch of additional water. Sunflower is marketed on a different price per unit structure than corn and sorghum, so its not directly com- parable on a bushel/pound basis regarding yield. Wheat, millet and soybean are fairly similar in both their water requirement to produce initial grain yield and efficiency in bushels per additional acre inch of water. To produce the first unit of grain, wheat requires 5.2 inches, millet 3.5 inches, and soybean 3.7 inches. With each additional inch of moisture, wheat will produce about 4.7 bushels, millet 4.2 bushels, and soybean 3 bushels. Again, the price per bushel of each crop varies, and if one were to eval- uate each crop fairly regarding water use efficiency, this would need to be taken into account. According to this research, field peas are a remarkable crop in that they require less than 1 inch of water to produce grain. They can produce 3 bushels of grain for each additional inch of moisture. These numbers are not exact and each crop will perform best if moisture is available at the right time and suffer if it is short at a critical time, like corn at pollina- tion and soybeans at flowering. This information could prove valuable as producers are making cropping plans while they watch the skies and weather reports for more precipitation, which will be necessary for a successful growing season.
