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 />

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 />

Norris Schools.<br />

Team members included: Nic Waln, Wyatt Krogman, Vinny Charging<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 />

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!

Agriculture … April 4, 2013 • Kadoka Press • Page 10<br />

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 />

New Fusarium Head Blight<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 />
