Kadoka Area School Board offers contracts,
proposed handbook changes presented
--by Robyn Jones
The Kadoka Area School Board
held their meeting on Thursday,
April 11. Board members present
were Dale Christensen, Dawn Rasmussen,
Ross Block and Dan VanderMay.
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 Department
of Legislative Audit.
Policy committee meeting was
scheduled for Wednesday, April 17
to review job descriptions and military
leave for staff.
High School Principal George
Seiler presented the high school
handbook with recommended
changes.
Some changes included: students
must be in school for all
classes in order to participate in an
organized co-curricular school activity
that day, unless giver permission
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 possible,
calls before 9 a.m. are appreciated
and calls after are
considered an unexcused absence;
when absent assignments will be
required to be made up by the student
within two days of the absence;
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 allowed
to participate in extracurricular
activities; and any student
who is failing a course and declared
Unoffical
Election
Results
ineligible for one week, the student’s
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 administration,
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 discussed.
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 expressed
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 Nemecek
presented the elementary
handbook. Changes to the attendance
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 student
is absent and or tardy for
more than 15 days the administration
can consider retaining the student
at the current grade level. If a
student is absent and or tardy for
20 or more days, the administration
may consider the extensive
amount of absences or tardies as
child neglect and contact social
services.
The board entered in to executive
session for personnel matters
at 8:40 and returned to open session
at 9:10.
The negotiated agreement for
2013-2014 was approved with
changes that include $750 to base
salary, $60 for insurance, 10% increase
to extra-curricular contracts,
and increase activity bus
driver wages.
A contract was approved for
Brad Stone as janitor at an hourly
rate of $9.00 during the probationary
period.
A resignation was accepted from
Laurie Prichard as assistant volleyball
coach.
Two contracts were recommended
for non-renewal for the
2013-2014 school year and approved.
Contracts were offered and approved
for certified staff for the
2013-2014 school year.
The meeting ended with another
executive session for administration
negotiations.
Other action taken by the
board…
•authorized SDHSAA membership
for the 2013-2014;
•approve contract with the
County Health Nurse for 2013-
2014 for 55 hours at $20.00 per

John Nels Geisler, age 83, Valley
Springs, S.D., formerly of Murdo,
passed away Monday, April 8, 2013
at the Veteran's Administration
Hospital in Sioux Falls.
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 rationing
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 interrupted
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 collected
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: service
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 antique
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 traveled
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 exhibitions,
attending canvas tent circuses
and state fairs and concerts.
He loved a good meal; any road trip
would be planned around restaurants
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 treatment
for thyroid cancer. After a
brief, acute illness in late December
2012, John entered the hospital
and then the hospice program at
the Veteran's Administration Hospital
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 (Petersen)
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, Corwin
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, Vivian
(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 Messiah
Lutheran.
Read John 14:1-3
The Bible is clear that those who trust in Jesus as
their personal Savior will have eternal life. Furthermore,
it promises that followers of God will spend eternity
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 don’t we think more about heaven? Very simply, it is because many of us don’t 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?
Don’t let anything dim your vision of the excellent future home awaiting you.

Linda Kramer___________________
Linda Kramer, age 67, of Philip,
S.D., formerly Burlington, Iowa,
died Saturday, April 6, 2013, at St.
Joseph Hospital in Tucson, Ariz.
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 Davenport.
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 industries.
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 visiting
family and friends around the
country. In June 2012, they sold
their home in Burlington to follow
their dream of becoming fulltime
RV’ers. In her retirement, Linda
enjoyed reading, golfing, genealogy,
water aerobics and coin collecting,
but most of all she relished spending
time with her five grandchildren,
and as she put it, “making
memories.”
Grateful for having shared
Linda’s 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 Washington,
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 memorials
will follow in Iowa and
South Dakota.

Belvidere News … April 18, 2013 • Kadoka Press • Page 3
Not all oranges are created
equal. 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 promoting
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 drinking
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 hasn’t
changed much over the years, and
buying oranges is still a tricky
business. You’re never quite sure
what you’re getting.
That situation is similar in buying
lots of other things. Apples are
easier than oranges, but you still
occasionally get “lemons.” Bananas,
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, literally,
and hard to figure out. One
knows that round steak is always
going to need good strong teeth if
you don’t cook it a long time, but
other steaks vary a lot concerning
tenderness and flavor.
That’s one of the difficult things
about life - trying to make wise decisions.
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
didn’t 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 wasn’t much of a

I guess I never really set out to
choose good friends. I was just naturally
drawn to those who had interests
similar to mine. Since I
wasn’t exactly a party animal, neither
were my friends. They just
were those I somehow came to
know and like.
Relatives, of course, you can’t
choose randomly. You’re just born
with them. In some cases, that is
just fine. Take my Aunt Bessie, for
example. She was my mom’s sister
from California and a real sweetheart.
We got on extremely well together,
and I even stayed with her
for several months when I was stationed
in California during my
time in the Navy. Other relatives
were mostly okay although a few
were marginal. You couldn’t disown
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 satisfied
with your care of their livestock.
If there wasn’t anything
really wrong, they’d complain that
the salt licks were getting low although
they hadn’t really run out
yet. Other guys would never quite
live up to their part of the deal concerning
payment for services rendered
etc. Then there are those
who just never give you any trouble
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 subsequently
came home with me.
Now is crunch time. Guess I’ll 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. That’s
worth quite a lot.
Teach them while they are young, BankWest
offers area students financal education
BankWest strongly believes that
an early understanding of personal
finance basics can help children develop
positive money habits that
will stick with them through adulthood.
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 uniquefinancial
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 learning
about money fun for students
and allow bankers to bring reality
and learning together to help students
understand the basic principles
of using money wisely.
It’s ironic: we have to pass a driver’s
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 students
received a failing grade on a
survey of personal finance knowledge
administered by the
Jump$tart Coalition®. The same
survey found that some 25 percent
of high school seniors don’t even
have their own bank account.
The Teach Children to Save program
seeks to change this situation
for the next generation of consumers.
Teach Children to Save is
a national campaign of volunteer
bankers who since 1997 have
helped young people devlelop lifelong
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 Children
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 return
to the classroom to help fill
the money-knowledge gap.
Locally, BankWest employees,
Sarah VanderMay and Belinda
Mitchell, will be visiting Kadoka
Area School’s Kindergarten
through Eighth grade on Tuesday
April 23 at 1:00 pm. For more information
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.

The fishing season has opened.
Jim Addison picked up Betty Kusick
last Sunday and the two went
fishing with some success. Afterwards,
they went to Jim’s where
Jim cleaned all the fish and gave
them to Betty. On Friday, Betty’s
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 Hogen’s Hardware.
She said a whole lot of other
people had the same idea and the
place was fairly crowded.
Grady Davis celebrated his thirteenth
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 Grady’s 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 Fortune,
plus an Aunt Kay and an
Uncle Tim. After supper, the group
adjourned to the theatre where
they watched “Oz” which was a decent
movie and enjoyed by all. Earlier
in the week, Chad couldn’t 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 armyreserve
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 subsequently
drove home. Daughter
Keeghan didn’t go along, but
boarded with Chad and Francie
Davis and boys while Davina was
gone.
Greg and Dana Badure and children
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 Badure’s. Daughter
Brisa officiated at the birth of
one with the help of Tyrel Mansfield,
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 he’s been having in
his hand is from gout which apparently
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 Lee’s mom, Marie Addison.
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 community
play in Kadoka. It was called,
“Wizard of Oz” and was somewhat
smaller version of the orginal Wizard
of Oz tale. Joy said that neighbors,
John and Jamie Dolezal,
didn’t 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 Jo’s
daughter, Cora Jo, of Rapid City,
and her friend, Skye Barber. While
here, Cora Jo and Skye help texture
the basement walls in preparation
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 didn’t
buy anything, though. He just wandered
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.

“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 afternoon
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 therapy
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 therapy.
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, although
they did have school Thursday
and Friday. Saturday
afternoon three members of the
Norris Extension Club met at
Jessie’s 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 vehicle
was snowed in. She suffered a
broken arm and will be out of commission
for a while.
Linda stayed home Sunday and
celebrated her birthday with her
family.
April 4, Richard and Noreen
Krogman were in Rapid City, visiting
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 vehicles
defeated them. Finally,
Thursday and Friday he was successful
and Saturday Noreen
braved the roads and made it on
her own.
Sunday afternoon Noreen joined
the DNP quilters in Mission. Laurene
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 Woodward’s 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 stepson,
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 Simmons
by Valentine. He was scheduled
to haul more this past week,
but the snowstorm put a stop to
that.
The Heinert’s 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 welcomed
moisture in this snow.
Julie Letellier came home Monday
evening, April 8, as the storm
was forecast and she wanted to be
here to help with calving. Andrea
Beckwith also helped Jim and Marjorie
Letellier with calving and
shoveling snow. They were here all
week, although Andrea went to
Norris School on Friday for the inservice.
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 uncurl
their leaves. Hang in there,
Spring flowers!

Kadoka Nursing Home
prime rib dinner April 20
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.
Dinner will begin at 6:00 pm
with entertainment beginning at
7:00 pm and an auction to follow.
Mikayla Rogers and Jessica
Bachman will be providing guests
with their musical talents. Both
are sophomores at Rapid City Central
High School, and are members
of the prestigious Central Chamber
Orchestra, which has been recognized
as one of the top high school
chamber groups in the nation.
Mikayla has received superior
ratings for solos performed in the
Region 8 Orchestra Competition,
both in violin and piano, as the pianist
for an orchestral trio and as
the pianist as part of the chamber
orchestra’s large group entry. She
is the granddaughter of Gay Klima
Tollefson of Philip.
Jessica has received superior
ratings in the Region 8 Orchestra
Competition for her solo, her piano
trio, as member of a quartet and as
part of Central’s chamber orchestra
large group entry.
The evening will continue with
an auction of donated items to be
held following the musical entertainment.
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 supper
help ease the out of pocket costs
for these nursing home projects.
If you are interested in attending
the supper, there are a few tickets
left. Tickets can be purchased
from Ruby Sanftner by calling 837-
2270.
Thank you • Thank you • Thank you
The Hogen and Oyan families take this opportunity to thank
all of you for attending our 67th anniversary and farewell
celebration last Saturday. What a great gathering!
We were honored to received many “good wishes”, cards,
flowers and gifts. Those really made our event special.
You know, we’ll miss our relationship together but as we
prepare to step aside, we know that the community will be
well provided for by the new owners, Brian and Jessi Fromm.
So, come May, we would like everyone to stop in and welcome
these Main Street newcomers and explore with them
some of the new and exciting things they will be bringing to
the business. We are excited about this change and we hope
this new beginning will translate into growth and progress for
Kadoka and the surrounding community.
THANK YOU customers and friends!

Jackson County American Legion
Post 27 will be sponsoring two
Kadoka Area High School junior
boys to attend the South Dakota
Boys State, May 27-May 31, in Aberdeen.
The Jackson County American
Legion Auxiliary Unit 27 of
Kadoka will be sponsoring two junior
girls to attend the South Dakota
Girls State, May 27-June 1, at the
University of South Dakota, Vermillion.
Logan Ammons, Foster Berry,
Racheal Shuck and Raven Jorgensen
will be representing the
Jackson County American Legion
and Auxiliary.
Upon reaching Boys State, citizens
are assigned to one of the two
mythical political parties and to
residence in a specific city and
county. The two parties are designated
as “Federalist” and “Nationalist”
with absolutely no connection
to political parties as they exist in
South Dakota today. With the exception
of city elections, which are
non-political as they are in South
Dakota, party caucuses and conventions
are held, with full slates
of officers elected at county and
state level. Appointive officers are
also filled.
Boys State is a nationwide program.
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 representatives
together for a few days
each summer in a citizenship training
program on the processes of
city, county and state Government.
Stout to advance to speech contest finals
As the program succeeded and
spread throughout the United
States, the American Legion Auxiliary
began a similar program for
girls. Thus "Girls State" was authorized
in 1937-38, and is now established
in 50 departments in our
Nation.
South Dakota Girls State was
founded in 1947. From an enrollment
of 117 girls in 1947, Girls
State has grown to its present enrollment
of over 480 girls.
The annual programs have a
two-fold purpose. First, to better
help youth understand and appreciate
the American system of government
and way of life including
the rights and responsibilities of
citizenship. Secondly, to give a better
knowledge of the fundamental
principles of government within
the State of South Dakota. These
objectives are sought by the establishment
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 government.
The American Legion and
the Auxiliary want the young people
of South Dakota to understand
the problems of government, as
well as how it functions.

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

The Belle Fourche Livestock Exchange
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 exchange’s weekly sale, Thursday,
April 11. Roseth and Long
were in charge of the following
week’s sale.
Roseth has owned and operated
Philip Livestock Auction for the
past seven years. Long is a wellknown
western South Dakota auctioneer.
Roseth said that the two sale
barns complement each other well.
The Philip auction’s 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 market
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 venture
and with working with the
personnel in Belle Fourche.
Rhonda Dreiske is the office manager,
Ray Pepin is yard foreman
and a fieldman and Brett Loughlin
is a manager and fieldman. Auctioneers
are Lynn Weishaar and
Doug Jaggers. Other fieldmen include
Joe Vodicka, K.P Stevens,
Craigh Deveraux and Mike Greenough.
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 working
to bring in new consignors.
Long noted that the Strongs had
put together a tremendous livestock
market with a lot of loyal consignors.
The Strongs purchased the sale
barn in 1977. They noted that it
was time to retire and let a new
generation take over.

Catalyst Club Good Neighor honorees
The Catalyst Club Good Neighbor
Banquet was held on Saturday,
April 20 in Philip at the Philip
High School gymnasium at 6:00
p.m.
Those receiving awards were
Marcia West of Philip, Mike West
of Philip, Wayne Davis of Wall and
Robert Young of Union Center.
Philip, S.D.
Michael West started his teaching
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.

the forefront of the telecommunication
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 individuals
that makes a community successful
and progressing in a
positive direction. The Wall Community
as well as those surrounding
communities are far better off
for having Wayne and his big heart
a part of them. Wayne was nominated
by Gale Patterson.
Marcia West
Philip, S.D.
Marcia was a school counselor,
taught basic education and physical
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 inducted
into the Philip High School
Hall of Fame, SDHSAA Distinguished
Service Award, and BHSU
Outstanding Educator Award.
Marcia and Michael were nominated
to receive the “Good Neighbor”
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 Ushers.
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 distribution
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 accomplishments
has inspired Linda Eisenbraun
to nominate both Michael
and Marcia as individual recipients
as Good Neighbors and generous
givers.
Michael West
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 someone’s aid if needed. Over the
years he has accumulated vast assortment
of tools and is always letting
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 surrounding
communities. Having
worked for GWTC for 34 years before
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. Without
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 included
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 countless
seminars and classes to stay
current with the ever-changing and
expanding technologies that are at
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 example
how to help and care for others.
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 willing
helper involving church projects,
and for the past three years he
has assumed the responsibility of
heating the Stoneville Church during
the winter months. When
there was snow, he also used his
own equipment to clear the parking
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 National
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 Department
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.

Zach Thomsen is the new Haakon County and northern Jackson County Wildlife
Conservation Officer for the South Dakota Game, Fish and Parks. Photo-Bartels
by Del Bartels
As of Monday, April 8, Zach
Thomsen, is the new Haakon
County and northern Jackson
County wildlife conservation officer
with the South Dakota Game, Fish
and Parks.
“In layman’s terms, from the
White River to the Cheyenne
River,” said Thomsen about the
area he covers within the two counties.
“Obviously, I can’t meet everybody
in one week. I will try my
hardest to get out there and meet
landowners. I’m 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. It’s a good station; I’ve
heard nothing bad. The people are
great. It’ll be a good district to work
in.”
The South Dakota Law Enforcement
Academy in Pierre is 13
weeks of training required for all
law enforcement personnel, police
departments, sheriff offices, highway
patrol troopers and conservation
officers. Thomsen then did
three weeks of post academy learning
in Pierre. Then he went
through four months of field training;
eight weeks in the Chamberlain
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 southeastern
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 hunting
and fishing,” said Thomsen.
This was mostly with his dad. “I’ve
always wanted to be a game warden.
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 it’s
not all about law enforcement. I do
a lot with landowners, and with
habitat, wildlife and fisheries management,”
he said.
“I like this, you don’t get that
anywhere else. Small town atmosphere;
really big in my part. Definitely
different than the big city,”
said Thomsen. “It’s awesome, I
don’t know how else to say it.”
His first day was mostly spent
getting his equipment and working
with Brian Meiers, wildlife conservation
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 enforcement
academy and am very
pleased with his performance,”
stated Mike Kintigh, regional supervisor
for Region 1, S.D. GF&P.
“I’m also familiar with his prior
work experience and interactions
with public and coworkers. All this
leads me to believe we are developing
a fine young officer for the
Philip district.” For the last few
years, the district had been included
in the responsibilities of Officer
Josh Brainard out of the Wall
office.
On April 7, several people attended the Jackson County Library Reading Group to
discuss the book, “Life on the Farm & Ranch”, which is a collection of short segments—all
contributions from people around our great state of South Dakota.
Many readers recognized local stories, people, and pictures! Dorothy Liegl guided
discussion which led to great group conversation—it was fun sharing our own stories,
which made closing difficult. Refreshments were served.

CITY OF KADOKA
2012 Drinking
Water Report
It’s your tap water!
EPA ID: 0181
COPIES AVAILABLE AT
THE CITY OFFICE
Water Quality
Last year, the City of Kadoka monitored
your drinking water for possible contaminants.
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 Environmental
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 determined
that the relative susceptibility rating
for the Kadoka public water supply
system is low.
For more information about your water
and information on opportunities to participate
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 resulting
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 systems,
agricultural livestock operations,
and wildlife.
Inorganic contaminants, such as salts
and metals, which can be naturally-occurring
or result from urban stormwater
runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater
discharges, oil and gas production, mining,
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, including
synthetic and volatile organic chemicals,
which are by-products of industrial
processes and petroleum production,
and can also come from gas stations,
urban stormwater runoff, and septic systems.
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 contaminants
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 contaminants.
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 Environmental
Protection Agency’s Safe
Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791).
Some people may be more vulnerable to
contaminants in drinking water than the
general population. Immuno-compromised
persons such as persons with
cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons
who have undergone organ transplants,
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 Cryptosporidium
and other microbial contaminants
can be obtained by calling the
Environment Protection Agency’s Safe
Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791).
If present, elevated levels of lead can
cause serious health problems, especially
for pregnant women and young
children. Lead in drinking water is primarily
from materials and components associated
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 concerned
about lead in your water, you may
wish to have your water tested. Information
on lead in drinking water, testing
methods, and steps you can take to minimize
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 presence
of these contaminants in the water
does not necessarily indicate that the
water poses a health risk. Unless otherwise
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 concentrations
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 community
as a result of materials used in
your home's plumbing. If you are concerned
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).

Cropping Choices and Water
Use Relationships
The precipitation from the recent
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 exploring
the moisture needed to
produce the first bushel of grain
and the bushels per inch of moisture
for various crops. This information
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 producing
bushels once the initial requirement
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 popularity
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 returned
to higher levels in more recent
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 it’s not directly comparable
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 evaluate
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 pollination
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.
