Transportation. Such a simple<br />
convenience when available, but is<br />
often taken for granted in everyday<br />
life.<br />
But when this convenience is not<br />
available, who can one rely on for<br />
assistance when needed? Haakon<br />
County Prairie Transport is there<br />
to help.<br />
Whether it is a trip to Rapid<br />
City or outlying communities such<br />
as Murdo, Pierre, Philip, White<br />
River or Wanblee for medical appointments<br />
or downtown Kadoka<br />
for shopping, it is a comfort knowing<br />
that one can call upon the<br />
Haakon County Prairie Transport<br />
to help get you where you need to<br />
go.<br />
In 2004, Kadoka received a<br />
small passenger bus from Haakon<br />
County when a new bus was purchased.<br />
Drivers, Glenn Vande-<br />
Garde and Bill Stratton, stepped in<br />
to volunteer to drive, and now, nine<br />
years later the service is still helping<br />
Kadoka residents.<br />
Several people have volunteered<br />
to drive the bus over the years and<br />
current drivers, Marsha Sumpter,<br />
Carol Solon and Jerry Baldwin,<br />
enjoy providing the service and<br />
helping area residents.<br />
Each driver completes safety<br />
training and is randomly screened<br />
through the South Dakota Department<br />
of Transportation.<br />
Many miles were driven with<br />
the first bus and in 2006 a new<br />
smaller van was purchased. Since<br />
the new van arrived in Kadoka, it<br />
has provided safe, dependable<br />
transportaion for many people totaling<br />
well over 100,000 miles.<br />
The miles not only include trips<br />
for appointments, but also include<br />
vacation trips for a day, such as<br />
going to the SD Capital in Pierre to<br />
see the Christmas trees, a shopping<br />
trip to Rapid City, or a tour of<br />
the Badlands. Many residents<br />
would not have the opportunity to<br />
go otherwise if this service was not<br />
accessible.<br />
To help with expenses and maintenance<br />
of van, minimal fees are<br />
charged. The fees do not completely<br />
cover the expenses, and the majority<br />
of the funding is provided by donations,<br />
fundraisers and memorial<br />
gifts.<br />
Fuel, regular vehicle maintenance<br />
and repairs are all done locally.<br />
Investing the funds back into<br />
Kadoka by using these services, is<br />
one way the transportation committee<br />
can thank those who help<br />
support their service.<br />
The bus transportation is regulated<br />
by the Haakon County Transportation<br />
Board, which consists of<br />
seven members and Ruby Sanftner<br />
is the local representative. Rides<br />
can be scheduled by calling 837-<br />
2023 or 441-2449.<br />
Living in a rural area may require<br />
a bit traveling, which some<br />
may view as disadvantage. What<br />
they may forget to notice is the advantage<br />
of neighbor helping neighbor,<br />
and that is one the foundations<br />
of rural America and loved by those<br />
who live here.<br />

A dedicated BankWest employee...40 years and counting<br />
--by Rhonda Antonsen<br />
For the past 40 years Marlene<br />
Perault’s smiling face has greeted<br />
countless customers who have<br />
walked through the doors of Bank<br />
West. Throughout those 40 years<br />
there have been many changes to<br />
the bank and banking industry.<br />
The one thing that has not changed<br />
over those years is Marlene’s commitment<br />
to her career at the bank.<br />
Before beginning at the bank,<br />
Marlene was working at the<br />
Kadoka Nursing Home. Nona<br />
Prang approached her and asked<br />
her if she would be interested in a<br />
job at the bank. Keith Prang,<br />
Nona’s husband, worked at the<br />
bank and felt Marlene would be an<br />
asset to the bank.<br />
Marlene Perault began working<br />
as a teller for the bank in February<br />
1973. At that time, the bank was<br />
still the Kadoka branch of the<br />
Belvidere State Bank. In 1978, the<br />
Belvidere State Bank was purchased<br />
by a Pierre banker, and the<br />
bank’s name was changed to Badlands<br />
State Bank. In 1980, as Marlene<br />
continued her work at the<br />
bank, changes continued to take<br />
place. The Pierre National Bank<br />
aquired the Badlands State Bank<br />
of Kadoka and Belvidere as<br />
branches and changed the name,<br />
thus becoming BankWest, N.A.<br />
Marlene not only experienced<br />
changes in name, but also changes<br />
in how the bank was operated over<br />
the years. Before all the technology<br />
of today’s banks, checks and cash<br />
were the the main source of payment<br />
for everything. Checks were<br />
sorted and alphabetized by hand<br />
everyday, and that information was<br />
posted in a ledger by the teller.<br />
She remembers when every<br />
business had a set of counter<br />
checks available. Customers could<br />
write a counter check to the business<br />
and tell the business what<br />
bank to draw the check off of.<br />
There were not any account numbers<br />
used just the word of the customer.<br />
Today, debit cards are<br />
predominantly used by everyone<br />
which has eliminated much of the<br />
time and paperwork for the bank<br />
employees.<br />
Years ago, loans were given<br />
based upon the word of the customer.<br />
There were no credit reports.<br />
Today, loans are based on the<br />
customer’s credit report score and<br />
require much more information be<br />
disclosed by the customer in order<br />
to be approved.<br />
During the course of her years at<br />
the bank, Marlene worked as a<br />
teller, bookkeeping administrator,<br />
and is currently a loan officer at<br />
BankWest. When asked what her<br />
favorite part of the job would be,<br />
Marlene said, “I enjoy the personal<br />
loans the best. With the personal<br />
loans, I can see firsthand how I am<br />
helping the customer.”<br />
Marlene’s personal life has kept<br />
her hard at work as well. While<br />
working at the bank, Marlene has<br />
raised all six of her children,<br />
Melissa, Colleen, John, Laney, Lisa<br />
and Bert. She, also, continues to<br />
ranch with her husband, Mike, on<br />
their ranch east of Belvidere.<br />
Marlene feels like she has the<br />
best job in town. She enjoys working<br />
with bank manager Gene<br />
Christensen and all her coworkers<br />
at the bank. “The bank feels like<br />
part of my home,” shares Marlene.<br />
While working at the bank, Marlene<br />
has developed many strong relationships<br />
within the community<br />
as well.<br />
Working at the bank has also<br />
given Marlene the opportunity to<br />
spend her weekends and evenings<br />
with her family and continue to<br />
take pleasure in her love of the<br />
ranch.<br />
Here is hoping Marlene’s next 40<br />
years are as great as her last 40.<br />

The Interior Volunteer Fire Department<br />
will host a grand opening<br />
of their new fire hall, Saturday,<br />
April 13, starting at 6:00 p.m.<br />
Firemen and other volunteers<br />
will be serving burgers and brats,<br />
beans, salads and chips. Guests<br />
can dance to Phatt Daddy, a country<br />
western/rock band.<br />
For the past ten years, members<br />
of the IVFD have been planning a<br />
new fire hall. In October, 2012,<br />
they broke ground on a 60’x100’<br />
building, with six 12’x12’ doors, a<br />
meeting room, a kitchen and two<br />
bathrooms.<br />
The building was built by the<br />
IVFD members and area residents.<br />
No grants or loans were taken out<br />
on the building and the entire project<br />
was paid for by contracting fire<br />
trucks and personnel to help fight<br />
Elmer Williams was born on February 23, 1950 in Miles City, Montana.<br />
The son of George and Irene Williams. Elmer’s family includes one<br />
brother, Al, who lives in Vermont and a sister, Ruth, who lives in Rapid<br />
City, along with one niece and two nephews.<br />
Elmer worked in Custer as a lumberjack at the sawmill and also did a<br />
lot of landscaping. Growing up he worked at quite a few jobs.<br />
Elmer enjoys being outdoors, which includes taking daily walks. He<br />
likes looking at yards and gardens and enjoys gardening.<br />
Playing Bingo is a favorite game of Elmer’s, but he will play almost<br />
any card game. He always takes part in craft time and doing crafts is a<br />
favorite pastime.<br />
Christmas time is his favorite holiday and over the years he has collected<br />
may Santa Claus figurines.<br />
“We all love Elmer here at the Kadoka Nursing Home,” said the staff,<br />
“he’s always helping someone out each day!”<br />
Interior Fire Hall to hold open house on April 13<br />
fires in South Dakota, and through<br />
community donations. The old fire<br />
hall was 30’x30’ with one overhead<br />
door. It contained five of the trucks.<br />
The new fire hall is complete,<br />
and equipment is moved in. Area<br />
residents are being asked to please<br />
come and enjoy a great evening of<br />
food, music and beverage to help<br />
celebrate a great accomplishment<br />
by some highly dedicated volunteers.

Miriam Reinhold ________________<br />
Miriam Caroline (Hood) Reinhold<br />
went to be with the Lord on<br />
Sunday morning, January 6, 2013,<br />
in her home following an extended<br />
illness. She was born August 13,<br />
1925 to parents Carl and Pearl<br />
(Norman) Hood in Pierre, South<br />
Dakota. They later moved to<br />
Kadoka, South Dakota where her<br />
father became a rancher and her<br />
mother a teacher.<br />
Miriam married Earl Reinhold<br />
on October 18, 1941 in Sundance,<br />
Wyoming. From that union, three<br />
daughters were born. While raising<br />
a family, she continued her education,<br />
earning a B.S. and a M.S.<br />
from Phillips University in Enid,<br />
Oklahoma.<br />
After three years of teaching<br />
high school English, speech and<br />
drama, she accepted a position in<br />
Waxahachie, teaching the same<br />
courses at the college level at her<br />
beloved SAGC, now Southwestern<br />
Assemblies of God University. During<br />
this tenure, she took post graduate<br />
studies at Baylor University.<br />
She often reflected on how difficult<br />
English had been for her and was<br />
passionate about making it easy for<br />
her students. This was typical of<br />
her determination and compassion<br />
for others.<br />
Organizations which Miriam<br />
greatly enjoyed were: DAR (40 year<br />
membership), Delta Kappa<br />
Gamma, AAUW, Texas Junior College<br />
Speech and Theatre Association<br />
and Roger Williams Family<br />
Association (She was a proud descendent<br />
of Roger Williams.)<br />
She was a loving wife, mother,<br />
grandma, aunt, cousin and friend.<br />
She had a great sense of humor<br />
and an incredible ability to see the<br />
best in all people and circumstances.<br />
She was a faithful member<br />
of University Church for 52 years.<br />
Her church family was a very important<br />
part of her life. She was a<br />
member of the Adult Sunday<br />
School Class and greatly enjoyed<br />
assisting with church banquets<br />
and travelling with her husband on<br />
Daystar tours. She was a mighty<br />
prayer warrior who interceded on<br />
behalf of her family through life’s<br />
challenges. She will be greatly<br />
missed by all who knew her.<br />

Marilyn Thompson, and<br />
Linda Edwards, and her husband,<br />

Read 1 Peter 5:5-7<br />
Jesus’ life exemplified humility. He did not assert<br />
His divine rights while on earth but instead left behind<br />
the glory and authority to which He was entitled.<br />
Cloaking himself with humanness, Jesus chose to be an<br />
obedient servant of His Father (Phil. 2:5-8).<br />
Our Savior’s example was and still is countercultural. This world does not value an attitude or lifestyle<br />
of humility; rather, it applauds high achievement, outward beauty, elevated positions, or exceptional<br />
skills. But God assures us that if we choose meekness—living in submission to Jesus as Master of our<br />
lives—He will reward us in both this life and the life to come. (Matt. 5:5 niv).<br />
In today’s verses, Peter outlines our options. Spiritual blessings are promised if we choose God’s way<br />
of humility. But if we pridefully forsake His path, the Lord will oppose us because we are essentially<br />
working against Him in arrogant self-sufficiency. However, when we humble ourselves by yielding to His<br />
authority and desiring to obey Him, He will be our source of strength and confidence.<br />
There’s something else to consider: Since we sometimes buy into the significance society places on instant<br />
gratification, we tend to want recognition now. But God honors us according to His perfect way and<br />
timing.<br />
The decision is yours to make: Will you humble yourself and live for God’s glory rather than yours? Or<br />
will you plot your own course and invite His opposition? If you’re wise, it’s not really much of a decision<br />
after all. So take a look at your priorities and ask God to reveal any areas driven by pride.<br />
Edna Joy______________________<br />
Edna Joy, age 94, of Midland,<br />
S.D., died Friday, March 29, 2013,<br />
at the Philip Nursing Home.<br />
Edna M. Eckert was born on<br />
July 10, 1918, to John and Marie<br />
(Koerner) Eckert. She was raised<br />
at the family farm nine miles south<br />
of Midland. Edna was baptized and<br />
confirmed at St. Peter’s Lutheran<br />
Church. There were eight children<br />
in the family, Edna being the oldest<br />
girl was responsible for helping her<br />
mother with the chores and<br />
younger brothers and sisters. As a<br />
young girl, she was not too excited<br />
about playing with her doll as she<br />
had real babies to tend to. She<br />
walked or rode a horse to the country<br />
school two miles from her home<br />
which she attended through the<br />
eighth grade.<br />
After the eighth grade, she<br />
worked for other families babysitting<br />
and other odd jobs. Edna went<br />
to work for Fern and Archie Joy,<br />
taking care of their children. There<br />
she met her future husband,<br />
Harold “Stub” Joy. They were married<br />
about a year later. They honeymooned<br />
in the Black Hills with a<br />
new car Stub purchased for $600.<br />
Together they worked long hours at<br />
their service station and lived in an<br />
apartment at the back of the<br />
garage.<br />
Their first child, Sharon Kay,<br />
was born in 1944. When Sharon<br />
was 18 months old, they moved<br />
into the house where Edna would<br />
live for the next 63 years. In 1948,<br />
a son, Larry Dale, joined the family.<br />
As a family, they enjoyed vacationing<br />
in the Black Hills, fishing<br />
and checking cows together. Their<br />
home was a second home to many.<br />
Edna moved to the Silverleaf Assisted<br />
Living in Philip in 2009. In<br />
2012, she moved to the nursing<br />

Lookin’ Around<br />
by Syd Iwan<br />
Two Birds and a Stone<br />
I killed three birds with one<br />
stone, so to speak, on Friday. We<br />
had Good Friday services scheduled<br />
at the church so I called<br />
around and set it up to have a<br />
township meeting at the church<br />
hall before services and a church<br />
board meeting there afterwards. It<br />
worked a treat. We were able to get<br />
all three get-togethers done in one<br />
trip.<br />
This sort of thing doesn’t happen<br />
very often it seems. Lives tend<br />
to be busy, and getting five or six<br />
people to agree on a time and place<br />
for a meeting may take awhile. As<br />
a result, it’s a nice surprise when<br />
everyone can come at the same<br />
time. It just happened to work out<br />
on Friday because those needed for<br />
the meetings were coming to Good-<br />
Friday services anyway. Coming a<br />
little earlier or leaving a little later<br />
didn’t make much difference.<br />
When mileage and time are a<br />
concern in this far-flung area<br />
where going to town involves at<br />
least a half hour both going and<br />
coming, combining tasks just<br />
seems a sensible idea. In other<br />
words, I saved two hours of traveling<br />
time alone on Friday by scheduling<br />
three meetings on the same<br />
day. Then too, besides the expenditures<br />
of travel time and gas money,<br />
it interrupts a day to put down<br />
your tools and run off to town.<br />
Sometimes it’s hard to get much<br />
else done on those days.<br />
Similar organizational high<br />
jinks have been going on all my<br />
life, it seems, just because we live<br />
so far out in the sticks. If you’re<br />
going to go to town, you might as<br />
well do a bunch of stuff so you<br />
don’t have to return right away.<br />
Wife Corinne learned early on in<br />
our marriage that my trips to town<br />
were apt to involve a whole lot of<br />
stops. I might visit the post office,<br />
bank, hardware store, grocery,<br />
court house, gas station and several<br />
other places. I might even<br />
drop off eggs here and there. Ten<br />
to fifteen stops were not uncommon.<br />
After awhile, Corinne would<br />
inquire where all I was planning to<br />
go before agreeing to ride along. If<br />
the number of stops seemed excessive<br />
in her view, she might decide<br />
she had too much work to do at<br />
home and couldn’t go along that<br />
day. If she had someone she could<br />
visit in town while I dashed here<br />
and there, that was okay. Otherwise,<br />
forget it.<br />
By the way, doing one job right<br />
after another is just fine with us<br />
fellows. What we aren’t too good at<br />
is multitasking. Gals have the<br />
edge on us there. They seem able<br />
to keep several plates spinning on<br />
sticks at the same time whereas<br />
we guys prefer one at a time. I<br />
even get a little frustrated when I<br />
prepare some meals. I find it difficult<br />
to get the meat, potatoes, vegetable,<br />
salad and gravy all ready<br />
at the same time. Far easier are<br />
one-pot meals such as when you<br />
throw a roast in the oven and later<br />
add potatoes and carrots to the<br />
same pan. Even simpler is unwrapping<br />
a frozen pizza and sticking<br />
it in the oven for a while or<br />
heating a can of soup. Simplicity<br />
often wins the day.<br />
This week, though, was a triumph<br />
of scheduling. On Thursday,<br />
we had to visit the clinic since son<br />
Chance had a sore on his lip that<br />
needed attention. After that, I suggested<br />
we stop by the hairdresser<br />
to see if we could all get haircuts<br />
since Chance and I were getting<br />
pretty shaggy. To my great surprise,<br />
both gals happened to have<br />
openings just then so Chance and<br />
Corinne could get their hair<br />
clipped at the same time with<br />
mine being done just after. If we’d<br />
come a little earlier or a little later,<br />
it wouldn’t have worked out. We<br />
happened to time it just right,<br />
though, so it did. I was pleased.<br />
As you might imagine, I’ve<br />
about run my course on combining<br />
events. Luckily, there is nothing<br />
much on the schedule that would<br />
require it. In other words, I have<br />
no plans to kill any birds with any<br />
stones. As far as I know, there is<br />
actually nothing specific scheduled<br />
for the rest of the year although<br />
something will no doubt come up.<br />
I can happily plod from bill paying<br />
to accounting to cooking to going to<br />
church. None of this multiplemeeting<br />
business or multitasking.<br />
That’s fine with me. That’s actually<br />
the way I prefer it. There<br />
might even be enough time to sit<br />
on the deck occasionally and listen<br />
to the meadowlarks sing. They<br />
have recently returned so the time<br />
to enjoy them has, of necessity,<br />
been added to my “busy” schedule.<br />
Now might be a good time to go do<br />
that. Catch you later.<br />

Easter service was held at 7:30<br />
a.m. on Sunday at the Belvidere<br />
Church. Despite the early hour,<br />
about 65 people came for services,<br />
and many stayed for breakfast and<br />
visiting at the church hall afterwards.<br />
It was a pleasant day despite<br />
the forecast. Good Friday<br />
service with communion was held<br />
on Friday evening. At the Friday<br />
service, Bonnie Shoemaker of<br />
Kadoka sang a song she had written<br />
that was nicely done and accompanied<br />
by Ruth McCubbin.<br />
Bonenbergers held their branding<br />
on Saturday with some 35 to 40<br />
people showing up to help. They<br />
calve earlier than many so their<br />
branding is often the first of the<br />
season. It was a good day for it, and<br />
things went well. Keith and Pam’s<br />
daughter, Alisha Summerville, of<br />
Mitchell was here for the weekend<br />
and could help some. Alisha lives in<br />
Mitchell, and, although she isn’t as<br />
involved with gymnastics now as<br />
she was in high school, she still<br />
helps direct cheerleading and incorporates<br />
some gymnastics into<br />
that. Her daughter, Joslin, has also<br />
been known to carry on the tradition<br />
with summersaults and other<br />
moves being occasionally displayed<br />
in the living room.<br />
Kenny, Roxie and Wade Fox sold<br />
some calves at Ft. Pierre on Friday.<br />
These were some smaller ones that<br />
had been kept back last fall. Sons<br />
Jesse and Shawn often come to<br />
help with cattle events, but they<br />
couldn’t this time. Jesse had things<br />
at work that kept him too busy. According<br />
to Roxie, Shawn was probably<br />
too busy playing with his new<br />
baby. That evening, Kenny attended<br />
church in Belvidere and<br />
stayed for a board meeting afterwards.<br />
Mary Johnston attended Easter<br />
service in Belvidere on Sunday.<br />
Then she joined Larry, Jo, and<br />
Jenny Johnston for a trip to Martin<br />
where they had dinner with Mary’s<br />
granddaughter, Linay Baker, and<br />
family. Linay has three children.<br />
The oldest is Alex, and the threeyear-old<br />
twins are Hallie and Hayden.<br />
Mary said she enjoys being<br />
around her great grandchildren of<br />
which there are now several and<br />
with another on the way.<br />
Michelle and Tyrel Mansfield<br />
were in Rapid City from Thursday<br />
and until Saturday, visiting<br />
Michelle’s folks. Back at home, Allison<br />
Davis came from Osage, WY,<br />
to help out some since Aaron hadn’t<br />
been feeling very well, and Jim had<br />
been clipped in the head by some<br />
equipment and wasn’t moving as<br />
fast as usual. Everyone felt good<br />
enough on Sunday, however, to attend<br />
church services in Belvidere.<br />
Betty Kusick visited Dolores<br />
Obr on Monday. On Tuesday, one<br />
side of her face started to hurt so<br />
she consulted Dr. Webb in Kadoka<br />
who diagnosed a case of shingles.<br />
As a result, Betty said she has been<br />
full of pills all week since she<br />
needed to take five prednisone pills<br />
the first day and decrease that<br />
number during the rest of the<br />
week. She went back to the clinic<br />
on Friday where Dr. Klopper said<br />
the pills were working and to keep<br />
taking them. Betty’s kids, Kenny,<br />
Kathy, and Loretta, were all concerned<br />
enough that they showed up<br />
at the clinic on Tuesday when<br />
Betty was there. They have been<br />
keeping in touch ever since. Betty<br />
felt good enough on Friday to go to<br />
church that evening. On Saturday,<br />
she went to Kadoka for a birthday<br />
party that Kenny and Chris put on<br />
for Chris’ dad, Art Mednansky.<br />
Betty also visited Bunny Green on<br />
Friday at the nursing home in<br />

Kadoka. Bunny is still very happy<br />
with being at the nursing home,<br />
but Ruby Sanftner said the home<br />
was full at the moment and<br />
couldn’t take any more residents.<br />
Betty said that was okay since she<br />
wasn’t quite ready to move in anyway.<br />
Scot and Jodie O’Bryan had<br />
their daughter, Faye, and her three<br />
children home for the Easter weekend.<br />
They came on Friday and<br />
stayed until Monday. Jodie and the<br />
kids were able to get in all the normal<br />
Easter stuff concerning coloring,<br />
hiding and finding eggs etc. All<br />
the sons, though, instead of coming<br />
here, gathered in Ft. Worth, Texas,<br />
at Scotty’s. That included Taylor,<br />
Wacey and Grady. All the boys currently<br />
live in Texas except Taylor<br />
who drove there with his wife and<br />
two kids. Scot said they are still<br />
into calving at their place and are<br />
even getting a few new colts. Alex<br />
and Amy Smiley have been at<br />
O’Bryans most days last week so<br />
Alex could do some riding with<br />
Jodie. She goes to college in Brookings.<br />
Amy is still recovering from<br />
an accident that gives her double<br />
vision on one side so she was content<br />
to mostly sit, watch and enjoy<br />
the fresh air. Jodie also said that<br />
Faye’s baby girl wasn’t too sure<br />
about horseback riding the first<br />
day she was given a ride, but, in<br />
true O’Bryan fashion, she took to it<br />
on the second day. On Monday,<br />
more riding was being considered<br />
and maybe another go-round of<br />
Easter egg hunting. Jodie wasn’t<br />
sure how many times eggs could be<br />
hidden and found, but obviously<br />
several times or until the dog starts<br />
finding them first.<br />
Nancy Schofield went to Midland<br />
on Sunday morning for services<br />
at the Lutheran Church.<br />
Afterwards, there was a Fosheim<br />
family gathering and meal to attend<br />
where Nancy got to visit with<br />
a lot of relatives she doesn’t get to<br />
see very often except perhaps at funerals.<br />
It was good to see everyone.<br />
Meanwhile, Kirby Schofield stayed<br />
home and helped John Dolezal<br />
with chores. Jamie Dolezal took<br />
her son, Travis, to Midland for an<br />
Easter egg hunt on Sunday and<br />
then had dinner with Betty Sinkey.<br />
Kirby has recently completed a<br />
course of cancer treatments and is<br />
just now waiting and hoping they<br />
did the job. A doctor appointment is<br />
coming up soon to check on that.<br />
Nancy said they had to go to Rapid<br />
City so many times for treatments<br />
that they decided to vary the routine<br />
by taking a different exit into<br />
town every time just to see if they<br />
could still get to the right place and<br />
get a different view on the way. She<br />
said that’s about as wild and crazy<br />
as they get, but it was an interesting<br />
diversion.<br />
The fire season started a little<br />
too early this year according to<br />
Mike Perault. The top power line<br />
down in their breaks broke loose<br />
and sparked with the lower one to<br />
start a fire. Mike said it burned<br />
some of their ground and some of<br />
Lyle O’Bryan’s. He estimated forty<br />
acres burned altogether. On Easter,<br />
Marlene and Bert Perault went to<br />
Long Valley to have dinner with<br />
their daughter/sister, Melissa VanderMay,<br />
and family. Bud and Valene<br />
Perault went along. They also<br />
stopped in Kadoka and picked up<br />
Lillian Carlson and James Carlson’s<br />
daughter, Jaelyn. Laney Waln<br />
and her family were there from<br />
Martin as well. Since Laney has<br />
four kids and Melissa has two,<br />
there was plenty of activity and the<br />
house was fairly full. Marlene said<br />
they all had a good time.<br />

lunch with the Rock’s, and then<br />
come on home. Meanwhile Bruce<br />
and Robert Ring went to Gordon,<br />
NE, and traded combines. It took<br />
longer than Bruce thought, plus<br />
the fact that he was thinking that<br />
Good Friday service didn’t start<br />
until 8:00 p.m., and they barely<br />
made it back in time for him to get<br />
in on almost the tail end of the<br />
service. They made it to church in<br />
plenty of time on Sunday, as they<br />
participated in the Easter potluck<br />
breakfast before church. June Ring<br />
was an Easter dinner guest afterward<br />
at their home. After a break<br />
to let the bounteous meal settle,<br />
egg hiding and hunting began. Hiding<br />
over six dozen eggs took a<br />
while, so it was done in teams of<br />
two. Three rounds of that in the<br />
rapidly chilling and windy weather<br />
had everyone ready for a break and<br />
snacks by 5 o’clock.<br />
June went home and made some<br />
more calls for news until time to go<br />
to church in Parmelee, only to discover<br />
a sign on the door that it had<br />
been held at noon that day! It<br />
turned out okay, though, as that<br />
way she was home when the<br />
“Happy Easter” calls came from<br />
Daniel and family in Washington<br />
and Marcus and family in<br />
Louisiana.<br />
May the joy and hope of Easter<br />
continue in all your lives. He is<br />
Risen! He is Risen Indeed!

Colostrum supplements and replacers:<br />
What is the difference?<br />
Research indicates that the<br />
ability of colostrum to provide<br />
passive immunity to the calf is<br />
often limited by low concentration<br />
of colostral immunoglobulins, insufficient<br />
methods of feeding<br />
colostrum, and limited absorption<br />
of immunoglobulins in the calf,<br />
says Janna Kincheloe, SDSU Extension<br />
Research Associate.<br />
"Good quality colostrum should<br />
contain more than 50 grams per<br />
liter of IgG, which is the primary<br />
immunoglobulin in colostrum,"<br />
Kincheloe said. "Quality may be<br />
inadequate if dams are young, nutritionally<br />
stressed, have a poor<br />
immune status, or produce large<br />
volumes of lower quality milk."<br />
Colostrum-deprived calves are<br />
50 to 75 times more likely to die<br />
within the first three weeks of life,<br />
most of them in the first week.<br />
Kincheloe says producers can confirm<br />
the level of IgG found in<br />
colostrum by testing it for antibody<br />
content. She adds that it is<br />
important to know the quality of<br />
colostrum being produced by the<br />
cow to be able to determine which<br />
type of product - supplement or replacer<br />
- is recommended for a<br />
given situation.<br />
Although commercially available<br />
colostrum supplements or replacers<br />
can play an important role<br />
in calf health, Kincheloe says for<br />
best results, producers need to understand<br />
the differences in these<br />
products based on their formulations<br />
and how to use them for optimum<br />
results.<br />
"Failure of passive transfer<br />
(FPT) can be determined by a test<br />
evaluating plasma IgG concentration<br />
within 24 to 48 hours after<br />
birth," Kincheloe said.<br />
She explains that the critical<br />
level used to indicate FPT in<br />
calves is less than 10 grams per<br />
liter. Products are classified by<br />
their ability to raise plasma IgG<br />
concentrations. Colostrum supplements<br />
do not raise the plasma<br />
concentration above the species<br />
standard of 10 grams per liter,<br />
while replacement products do.<br />
The USDA Center for Veterinary<br />
Biologics regulates<br />
colostrum products containing<br />
IgG. In general, products that contain<br />
less than 100 grams IgG/dose<br />
are categorized as colostrum supplements,<br />
and are designed to be<br />
used when feeding low or medium<br />
quality colostrum.<br />
Kincheloe says replacer products<br />
can be used to completely replace<br />
colostrum, as they contain<br />
greater than 100 grams IgG/dose<br />
and also supply additional nutrients<br />
required by the calf (carbohydrates,<br />
protein, fat, vitamins and<br />
minerals). Research results indicate<br />
that calves fed replacer products<br />
perform similarly to those fed<br />
maternal colostrum in terms of<br />
IgG levels, health, and growth<br />
rates.<br />
"However, the quantity of IgG<br />
provided by each product does not<br />
accurately predict how much is actually<br />
available to the calf,"<br />
Kincheloe said.<br />
Kincheloe explains that the<br />
amount of IgG that can be measured<br />
in the plasma 24 hours after<br />
birth is known as the apparent efficiency<br />
of absorption (AEA).<br />
Research data suggests that<br />
absorption efficiencies typically<br />
range from 20 to 35 percent in maternal<br />
colostrum and many supplements.<br />
Most veterinarians<br />
recommend that calves receive<br />
100 grams of IgG within the first<br />
24 hours of birth; however, efficiency<br />
of absorption must be considered<br />
when determining type<br />
and amount of supplement to be<br />
provided.Considering average<br />
AEA's of most products, the actual<br />
amount of IgG consumed should<br />
be between 103 and 180 grams in<br />
order to reach the critical plasma<br />
level of 10 grams per liter.<br />
"Factors that can affect AEA<br />
may include source of IgG,<br />
method of processing, amount and<br />
type of protein, and presence of fat<br />
and lactose. Some research has<br />
shown that the addition of some<br />
colostrum supplements may actually<br />
reduce IgG absorption from<br />
natural colostrum," Kincheloe said.<br />
In general, Kincheloe says the<br />
three sources of IgG in colostrum<br />
products are derived by lacteal secretions,<br />
like milk, whey, or<br />
colostrum; bovine serum extracts<br />
or chicken eggs.<br />
Kincheloe points to the results<br />
from one study comparing the efficiency<br />
of IgG absorption in a bovine<br />
serum product (BSP), cow<br />
colostrum (MC; control), and two<br />
commercial milk-derived supplements;<br />
the results indicate that the<br />
initial concentration of IgG is an<br />
important consideration when<br />
choosing a powdered supplement.<br />
"Feeding a greater amount of a<br />
product containing low concentrations<br />
of IgG can actually result in<br />
decreases in absorption efficiency,<br />
so it is best just to feed a higher<br />
quality product initially," Kincheloe<br />
said.<br />
"Be sure to carefully read and<br />
follow the manufacturer's instructions<br />
since products may vary in<br />
how they are mixed and the number<br />
of recommended feedings.<br />
Plasma IgG tests may be recommended<br />
in situations of high morbidity/mortality<br />
to determine<br />
prevalence of FTP and the efficacy<br />
of colostrum management in the<br />
herd," Kincheloe said.<br />

Early Season Wheat<br />
Disease Update<br />
While winter wheat producers<br />
are anxiously waiting for warmer<br />
temperatures to see if there is a<br />
chance of a crop, and spring wheat<br />
producers are waiting for the opportunity<br />
to plant, there are reports<br />
of rust development in<br />
several southern states in wheat<br />
fields and nurseries. Leaf and<br />
stripe rust have already been<br />
found in Texas, even earlier than<br />
2012, which was much earlier than<br />
normal. Stripe rust has also been<br />
observed in Mississippi, Arkansas<br />
and Louisiana. Stripe rust was<br />
seen in Arkansas back in the beginning<br />
of December, which may<br />
be the earliest it has ever been<br />
seen it there.<br />
South Dakota producers will<br />
need to watch the progression up<br />
from Texas this year because it<br />
could be a concern if the conditions<br />
are right. Reports of stripe rust<br />
and leaf rust from Texas are important,<br />
because weather systems<br />
often transport the rust spores<br />
from these regions into Oklahoma,<br />
Kansas and on up through Nebraska<br />
to South Dakota. If stripe<br />
and/or leaf rust continues to develop<br />
in the southern states, producers<br />
may need to evaluate the<br />
feasibility of fungicide applications<br />
on susceptible varieties.<br />
SDSU Extension Plant Pathology<br />
Specialists and Field Specialists<br />
strive to keep producers<br />
informed, but growers can also<br />
monitor the situation on the USDA<br />
Cereal Rust Laboratory website:<br />
http://www.ars.usda.gov/Main/docs<br />
.htm?docid=9757. On that website,<br />
visitors can access the current rust<br />
situation, 2013 and past years’ cereal<br />
rust bulletins, rust observation<br />
maps, and a wealth of information<br />
on cereal diseases. University<br />
and private individuals can<br />
also submit rust and other cereal<br />
disease observations for their area<br />

Prediction Center<br />
The Fusarium Head Blight<br />
Prediction Center has been redesigned<br />
and the new version is<br />
now active. The growth stage in<br />
which wheat is vulnerable to<br />
Fusarium Head Blight (FHB or<br />
scab) is certainly a ways off for<br />
South Dakota, but it’s good to be<br />
aware of the tool, which can be accessed<br />
at:<br />
http://www.wheatscab.psu.edu/.<br />
The website offers risk assessment<br />
for roughly the eastern<br />
half of the United States. Visitors<br />
can choose a state to zoom in on<br />
their area, choose the model of either<br />
spring or winter wheat, the<br />
susceptibility of the variety and<br />
see an overview of the risk of scab<br />
for their location.<br />
The map is populated<br />
with both FAA and AgNet weather<br />
stations, which can be clicked for<br />
up-to-date information at the site.<br />
More detailed information can be<br />
accessed by clicking “Query”, and<br />
then the weather station of your<br />
choice. Scab risk and probability,<br />
temperature, precipitation and humidity<br />
are shown for the previous<br />
week at that site.<br />
