Read John 14:1-3The Bible is clear that those who trust in Jesus as

their personal Savior will have eternal life. Further-more, it promises that followers of God will spend eter-nity with Him in heaven.

The New Testament contains approximately 200 references to heaven, most of which are from theteachings of Jesus Himself. Obviously, the topic was quite important to our Lord. Why, then, do we oftenfail to talk about it ourselves? Sadly, one reason we ignore the subject is that we simply feel too satisfied here on earth. Maybe wethink we have it pretty good, whether because of a loving family, a stable job, or a nice home. Surroundedby 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 graspthe concept of heaven. They are the individuals who live their lives in need, nursing the belief that lifebeyond earth will supply all that they lack. You see, it is rarely our desperation that makes it difficult to envision our heavenly home. Rather, oursuccess 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 toprepare 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.

For many years, the family trav-eled around the United States.John was always on the lookout forantique cars and collectibles to addto the Pioneer Auto collection. In1985, John and Betty returned toMurdo to live. John loved all sortsof entertainment and public exhibi-tions, attending canvas tent cir-cuses and state fairs and concerts.He loved a good meal; any road tripwould be planned around restau-rants that could be visited alongthe way. John had a companionBeagle by his side for the last 35years, the most recent being namedMartin Luther.

In 2002, John and Betty movedto Sioux Falls and later ValleySprings to be near their daughtersand grandsons, and to have accessto advanced medical care. BothJohn and Betty faced a number ofhealth issues in the last decade.Starting in 2009, John wentthrough several rounds of treat-ment for thyroid cancer. After abrief, acute illness in late Decem-ber 2012, John entered the hospitaland then the hospice program atthe Veteran's Administration Hos-pital in Sioux Falls. His family isgrateful for the excellent care hereceived there. He passed away themorning of Monday, April 8, 2013.

Not all oranges are createdequal. I learned this early in lifesince my mother thought I shouldstart each day with a glass offresh-squeezed orange juice. Shefigured it would be helpful in pro-moting my health and well-beingor some such thing. Most days thiswas fine. Other days, not so much.

For one thing, not all orangesare naturally sweet and tasty.Some are a bit sour or dull. Thenthere are those that have so muchpulp you almost need to eat thejuice with a spoon instead of drink-ing it. Others have so many ofthose tiny little seeds that you areunlikely to get them all out shortof using a strainer. This hasn’tchanged much over the years, andbuying oranges is still a trickybusiness. You’re never quite surewhat you’re getting.

That situation is similar in buy-ing lots of other things. Apples areeasier than oranges, but you stilloccasionally get “lemons.” Ba-nanas, though, seem to all be fairlymuch the same. One is prettymuch like another although eatingthem at just the right degree ofripeness can be hard to schedule.Meat, though, is often tough, liter-ally, and hard to figure out. Oneknows that round steak is alwaysgoing to need good strong teeth ifyou don’t cook it a long time, butother steaks vary a lot concerningtenderness and flavor.

That’s one of the difficult thingsabout life - trying to make wise de-cisions. This not only applies tothings you buy, but to what you doto support yourself, what friends tohave, and lots of other things. Ididn’t have much trouble choosingan occupation since I was raised ona ranch and was the only son. Mydad basically wanted me to takeover when I grew up, and that wasfine with me. I did have a chanceto go on and make a career as anofficer in the Navy since, to keepme from leaving when my timewas up, they dangled a tasty carrotin front of me. This had to do withthe promise of being assigned tothe staff of a really weird admiralwho was considered the father ofthe modern nuclear navy. It wouldprobably have been a real plus inmy record and a stepping stone tohigher rank. Weighing thatagainst ranching wasn’t much of a

contest though. The rural life waswhat I wanted and what I chose. Ihave no regrets about that.

I guess I never really set out tochoose good friends. I was just nat-urally drawn to those who had in-terests similar to mine. Since Iwasn’t exactly a party animal, nei-ther were my friends. They justwere those I somehow came toknow and like.

Relatives, of course, you can’tchoose randomly. You’re just bornwith them. In some cases, that isjust fine. Take my Aunt Bessie, forexample. She was my mom’s sisterfrom California and a real sweet-heart. We got on extremely well to-gether, and I even stayed with herfor several months when I was sta-tioned in California during mytime in the Navy. Other relativeswere mostly okay although a fewwere marginal. You couldn’t dis-own them, exactly, but you couldchoose how much to associate withthem.

Choosing business associates isalso tricky. I have taken in cattlefor people who just plain drove menuts. They were never quite satis-fied with your care of their live-stock. If there wasn’t anythingreally wrong, they’d complain thatthe salt licks were getting low al-though they hadn’t really run outyet. Other guys would never quitelive up to their part of the deal con-cerning payment for services ren-dered etc. Then there are thosewho just never give you any trou-ble and work out great. The latteris what we currently have, thankgoodness.

But, you know, we can only doour best. If we do that, we are aptto have few regrets. We can look atproducts or situations, think aboutthem, maybe do a bit of research,give ourselves some time and notrush, pray a little, and hope for thebest. I recently did some of thatconcerning the purchase of a bag oforanges. They looked and felt okay,were moderately priced, and sub-sequently came home with me.Now is crunch time. Guess I’ll gosqueeze one or two and have someorange juice. It may be great orless so, but at least it will remindme of my dear old mama whosqueezed a lot of oranges in her lifefor love of little old me. That’sworth quite a lot.

April 4, Richard and NoreenKrogman were in Rapid City, visit-ing the Dale McKee family. Theyreturned home the next day.Richard did his best to try to getNoreen to work on Tuesday andWednesday, but too many stuck ve-hicles defeated them. Finally,Thursday and Friday he was suc-cessful and Saturday Noreenbraved the roads and made it onher own. Sunday afternoon Noreen joinedthe DNP quilters in Mission. Lau-rene Emery baked a cake for RoseRuff ’s birthday and shared it withthe others. Alberta Allard gaveJune a ride in to Mission for the

quilting session, and got in somework on the quilt she is making forPam. She showed her completedsun bonnet girls quilt and anothertop she has almost finished forCliff. The Mellette County HistoricalSociety will meet at noon onWednesday, April 17. The weather mechanism at Westand Woodward’s showed well overan inch and a half of moisture inthe snows measured there. Maxine Allard cleared enough ofa path to get out to her building forpotting soil, which she wanted forstarting some tomato seeds in thehouse. She had a call from her step-son, Rick Ladegard, and his wife,Judy, informing her that they areplanning a trip this summer andhope to visit her in August. Rev. Glenn Denke attended theSD District Spring conference forthe ministers in Aberdeen Sundaythrough Friday. The conferencelasted only through Wednesday,but closed highways kept themthere until they left on Friday. Thursday Kenda Huber took hergrandsons, Torry, Braeden andBradley, with her to Martin andran some errands there. The nextday Bill, Kenda, David andJonathan traveled to Rapid City,which had reported over twentyinches of snow. They felt that fromthe looks of things, that we gotmore snow than that. The previous weekend, HowardHeinert hauled manure for Sim-mons by Valentine. He was sched-uled to haul more this past week,but the snowstorm put a stop tothat. The Heinert’s did lose two calvesduring the storm, but they also hadtwo sets of twin calves, so theyshared with the cows who lost theircalves, and they are now ‘even steven.’ Blake and Amy Lehman felt thatthere was over two inches of wel-comed moisture in this snow. Julie Letellier came home Mon-day evening, April 8, as the stormwas forecast and she wanted to behere to help with calving. AndreaBeckwith also helped Jim and Mar-jorie Letellier with calving andshoveling snow. They were here allweek, although Andrea went toNorris School on Friday for the in-service. Friday evening Julie andAndrea headed for Rapid City tovisit Sue and Marty Larson for theweekend. The tulips and daffodils that hadbeen showing their leaves beforethe storm received a blanket ofdrifted snow that thoroughlyburied them. However by Sundayafternoon, many of the leaves werepoking through the melted snowand trying to straighten up and un-curl their leaves. Hang in there,Spring flowers!

The fishing season has opened.Jim Addison picked up Betty Ku-sick last Sunday and the two wentfishing with some success. After-wards, they went to Jim’s whereJim cleaned all the fish and gavethem to Betty. On Friday, Betty’sdaughter, Loretta Schreiber, andher husband, Lawrence, came fromQuinn. They brought goodies tosnack on. On Saturday, Betty tookin the open house at Hogen’s Hard-ware. She said a whole lot of otherpeople had the same idea and theplace was fairly crowded. Grady Davis celebrated his thir-teenth birthday on the thirteenthwith thirteen people in attendance.His birthday actually was the 9thwhich proved to be stormy and notgreat for major celebrations. Onthe 13th, though, people gatheredat the Steakhouse in Philip. Thisincluded Grady’s folks, Chad andFrancie, his brothers, Garrett andGage, grandparents, Bob and RuthFortune, a great grandmother,Marian Nelson, uncle, aunt andcousin, Chuck, Eve and Abby For-tune, plus an Aunt Kay and anUncle Tim. After supper, the groupadjourned to the theatre wherethey watched “Oz” which was a de-cent movie and enjoyed by all. Ear-lier in the week, Chad couldn’t getto work a couple of days due to thewinter storm, but things evenedout later in the week. Davina Spoonemore flew southlast weekend for her normal army-reserve drill. She first flew toPhoenix and caught a ride to ElPaso with a friend. She had a car inEl Paso, however, which she subse-quently drove home. DaughterKeeghan didn’t go along, butboarded with Chad and FrancieDavis and boys while Davina wasgone. Greg and Dana Badure and chil-dren drove to Pierre last Monday todeal with their taxes. They wereglad it was scheduled for Mondaysince Tuesday was a poor day to beon the roads if they were evenopen. Two new baby goats arrivedlast week at the Badure’s. Daugh-

ter Brisa officiated at the birth ofone with the help of Tyrel Mans-field, and MaKaylan and McCoyBonenberger who just came to seethe goats but not particularly to seeone born. Greg found out recentlythat the pain he’s been having inhis hand is from gout which appar-ently can affect hands as well asfeet. Diet adjustments and certainexercises may help. Lee Addison and Rhonda weresnowed in a good bit of last week.They could feed and watch over thecalving process, but getting to townwas somewhat difficult. On Friday,neighbor Andy Schofield plowedthem out so they went off to Murdoand visited Lee’s mom, Marie Addi-son. They took her some eggs andhad a good visit. Larry and Joy Dolezal traveledto Milesville and Philip on Sundaymorning where Larry preached atthe Evangelical Free Church inboth places. After lunch withfriends, they attended the commu-nity play in Kadoka. It was called,“Wizard of Oz” and was somewhatsmaller version of the orginal Wiz-ard of Oz tale. Joy said that neigh-bors, John and Jamie Dolezal,didn’t go a lot of places last week.They were mostly content to stay athome, plowing snow and pullingcalves. Larry, Jo, and Jenny Johnstonwere visited this weekend by Jo’sdaughter, Cora Jo, of Rapid City,and her friend, Skye Barber. Whilehere, Cora Jo and Skye help tex-ture the basement walls in prepa-ration for painting. Jo said theirbasement project has been going onfor quite a while now but is gettingcloser to completion. Earlier in theweek, Jenny got some days off fromschool due to the bad weather andpoor roads. Rudy Reimann took in the gunshow in Rapid City on Sunday. Hesaid it was well attended. He didn’tbuy anything, though. He just wan-dered through and looked. He saidit never hurts to look just in caseyou might see something you needor might want to get in the future.

Stronger Economies Together sessionrescheduled for Monday, April 22

for the next generation of con-sumers. Teach Children to Save isa national campaign of volunteerbankers who since 1997 havehelped young people devlelop life-long savings habits. It includes anannual awareness day in April,Teach Children to Save Day; avideo contest for teens, Lights,Camera, Save!; and the Teach Chil-dren to Save website:www.teachchildrentosave.com.

Since the program began in1997, bankers have helped millionsof students across the nation tolearn to manage their money moreeffectively. This year, many will re-turn to the classroom to help fillthe money-knowledge gap.

Locally, BankWest employees,Sarah VanderMay and BelindaMitchell, will be visiting KadokaArea School’s Kindergartenthrough Eighth grade on TuesdayApril 23 at 1:00 pm. For more infor-mation on the program, visitwww.abaef.com and click on TeachChildren to Save.

BankWest feels that this is animportant part of serving the localcommunity and providing the toolsto grow on.

BankWest strongly believes thatan early understanding of personalfinance basics can help children de-velop positive money habits thatwill stick with them through adult-hood. Guided by the old adage,“Train up a child in the way heshould go: and when he is old, hewill not depart from it,” BankWestis offering area students a unique-financial education experiencethrough the Teach Children to Saveprogram. BankWest employees willpartner with an area school to givesavings education lessons. Theseout-of-the-box- lessons make learn-ing about money fun for studentsand allow bankers to bring realityand learning together to help stu-dents understand the basic princi-ples of using money wisely.

It’s ironic: we have to pass a dri-ver’s education course before wecan get behind the wheel. Butwhen it comes to learning aboutour finances, few of us get thetraining we need to manage moneywisely. In 2008, 73.9 percent of stu-dents received a failing grade on asurvey of personal finance knowl-edge administered by theJump$tart Coalition®. The samesurvey found that some 25 percentof high school seniors don’t evenhave their own bank account.

The Teach Children to Save pro-gram seeks to change this situation

Girls and Boys All State candiates announced

Jackson County American Le-gion Post 27 will be sponsoring twoKadoka Area High School juniorboys to attend the South DakotaBoys State, May 27-May 31, in Ab-erdeen. The Jackson County Amer-ican Legion Auxiliary Unit 27 ofKadoka will be sponsoring two jun-ior girls to attend the South DakotaGirls State, May 27-June 1, at theUniversity of South Dakota, Ver-million. Logan Ammons, Foster Berry,Racheal Shuck and Raven Jor-gensen will be representing theJackson County American Legionand Auxiliary. Upon reaching Boys State, citi-zens are assigned to one of the twomythical political parties and toresidence in a specific city andcounty. The two parties are desig-

nated as “Federalist” and “Nation-alist” with absolutely no connectionto political parties as they exist inSouth Dakota today. With the ex-ception of city elections, which arenon-political as they are in SouthDakota, party caucuses and con-ventions are held, with full slatesof officers elected at county andstate level. Appointive officers arealso filled. Boys State is a nationwide pro-gram. Last year there were 50American Legion sponsored BoysStates in operation. Deciding thebest way to learn was by practicingit, American Legionnaires began,in 1935, gathering teenage repre-sentatives together for a few dayseach summer in a citizenship train-ing program on the processes ofcity, county and state Government.

As the program succeeded andspread throughout the UnitedStates, the American Legion Auxil-iary began a similar program forgirls. Thus "Girls State" was au-thorized in 1937-38, and is now es-tablished in 50 departments in ourNation. South Dakota Girls State wasfounded in 1947. From an enroll-ment of 117 girls in 1947, GirlsState has grown to its present en-rollment of over 480 girls. The annual programs have atwo-fold purpose. First, to betterhelp youth understand and appre-ciate the American system of gov-ernment and way of life includingthe rights and responsibilities ofcitizenship.

Marcia was honored by being in-ducted into the Philip High SchoolHall of Fame, SDHSAA Distin-guished Service Award, and BHSUOutstanding Educator Award. Marcia and Michael were nomi-nated to receive the “Good Neigh-bor” Award because they are hugesupporters and promoters of thepeople who live in and aroundPhilip where they are involved inthe local organizations. They are faithful members of theFirst Lutheran Church of Philip,and have held all the offices of theChurch Council, as well as being incharge of the Women's Group, theYouth Group, Alter Guild and Ush-ers.

Michael West

Philip, S.D. Michael West started his teach-

ing career in the early 60s. Hetaught for four years before gainingemployment at Dorothy Brothers'Garage.

Michael has been inducted inthe Philip High School Hall ofFame, 1996 BHSU Athletic Hall ofFame, SDHSAA DistinguishedService Award, and 2012 AmateurBaseball Hall of Fame.

Wayne DavisWall, S.D.

Wayne is lucky that he is a bigman, because he has such a bigheart. His heart would not fit in anormal-size chest. Wayne is always willing to cometo someone’s aid if needed. Over theyears he has accumulated vast as-sortment of tools and is always let-ting people borrow them whenneeded. In my personal experience,Wayne has brought over his lawnaerator, plugger and sweeper so wecan ready our lawn for the summer.We don't even have to ask. Whenthe time is right they show up inour yard. One time Wayne was talking toa young couple and they werewanting to build a deck onto theirhouse. The next morning Waynewas there early to start theprocess. This is typical of whatWayne does for his neighbors. Wayne is well known not just inthe Wall area, but also in the sur-rounding communities. Havingworked for GWTC for 34 years be-fore retiring, Wayne has madefriends wherever he has been. Wayne is always looking out forhis neighbors. If someone is gonefor a while he will check on theirproperty to see if everything isokay. I know if we are gone ourplace will be well taken care of. Wayne has been the WallMethodist Church's chair of theTrustee's Committee twice. He iscurrently serving in that position.Both times a major project neededto be done. Both times Wayne hasgone out into the community toraise money for said projects. With-out his leadership these projectswould not have been completed ina timely fashion. Wayne is a standing member ofthe Wall United Methodist Men'sOrganization where he has helpedin a variety of different projects.You just know that he is going to bethere. Wayne has also been the YouthLeader for the Wall UnitedMethodist Church. He made surethat in the winter months theyouth group would do somethingspecial every four weeks. This in-cluded things like going skiing inthe Hills or swimming at EvansPlunge in Hot Springs. As I stated earlier, Wayneworked for Golden West for 34years. He is now retired along withhis wife, Gwen. During his tenureat GWTC Wayne attended count-less seminars and classes to staycurrent with the ever-changing andexpanding technologies that are at

the forefront of the telecommunica-tion industry. Wayne has been involved withmany different organizations. Mostof them involved the youth, but notall. Here is a list of some of thosegroups: Cub Scout leader, Webelosleader, Boy Scout leader, GirlsScout helper, 4-H helper, Youthwrestling, Youth softball, Youthrodeo. He brought back the SDRARodeo to the Wall Celebration afteryears of not having a rodeo. Heheld the positions of President,Vice President and Secretary of theWall Rodeo Association. Wayne is one of those individu-als that makes a community suc-cessful and progressing in apositive direction. The Wall Com-munity as well as those surround-ing communities are far better offfor having Wayne and his big hearta part of them. Wayne was nomi-nated by Gale Patterson.

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 seg-

ments—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 sto-

ries, which made closing difficult. Refreshments were served.

I will try myhardest to get out there and meetlandowners. I’m looking forward tomeeting people and working in thearea,” said Thomsen. A 2005 graduate from BrandonValley High School, he earned hisbachelors degree in wildlife andfisheries science from SouthDakota State University in 2009.During college, he held two internpositions with the GF&P in SiouxFalls, and after graduation workedtwo seasonal positions; all four as awildlife damage technician indepredation control. The beginningof 2012 he was working full time asa regional program assistant. “When I applied the academy, Iapplied for Philip specific,” saidThomsen. “The job for Philip cameopen, and I knew I would not mindcoming here. It’s a good station; I’veheard nothing bad. The people aregreat. It’ll be a good district to workin.” The South Dakota Law Enforce-ment Academy in Pierre is 13weeks of training required for alllaw enforcement personnel, policedepartments, sheriff offices, high-way patrol troopers and conserva-tion officers. Thomsen then didthree weeks of post academy learn-ing in Pierre. Then he wentthrough four months of field train-ing; eight weeks in the Chamber-lain area followed by seven weeksin the Spearfish area. “It was kinda nice. I got to makecontacts in the prairie and thehills, nice to meet in the middle onthese,” said Thomsen. Though raised in the city, hespent a lot of time on the farm. Hisgrandparents had a farm in south-eastern South Dakota, and hisuncle and aunt also have a farmthere. He also did some work on afarm outside Brandon. “The reason I got involved withthis kind of job was I grew up hunt-ing and fishing,” said Thomsen.This was mostly with his dad. “I’vealways wanted to be a game war-den. I love the outdoors. I likeworking with landowners, giving ahelping hand in trying to conservethe habitat and providing theyouth with as much hunting as Ienjoyed when I was their age.” “A nice thing about my job is it’s

not all about law enforcement. I doa lot with landowners, and withhabitat, wildlife and fisheries man-agement,” he said. “I like this, you don’t get thatanywhere else. Small town atmos-phere; really big in my part. Defi-nitely different than the big city,”said Thomsen. “It’s awesome, Idon’t know how else to say it.” His first day was mostly spentgetting his equipment and workingwith Brian Meiers, wildlife conser-vation officer supervisor for theGF&P out of Rapid City. Thomsenstill took care of local business bytaking a barn owl, wounded whengetting caught in a fence, to theraptor center in Rapid City. “I have been watching Zachprogress through the law enforce-ment academy and am verypleased with his performance,”stated Mike Kintigh, regional su-pervisor for Region 1, S.D. GF&P.“I’m also familiar with his priorwork experience and interactionswith public and coworkers. All thisleads me to believe we are develop-ing a fine young officer for thePhilip district.” For the last fewyears, the district had been in-cluded in the responsibilities of Of-ficer Josh Brainard out of the Walloffice.

CITY OF KADOKA2012 DrinkingWater Report

It’s your tap water!EPA ID: 0181

COPIES AVAILABLE ATTHE CITY OFFICE

Water Quality

Last year, the City of Kadoka monitoredyour drinking water for possible contam-inants. This brochure is a snapshot ofthe quality of the water that we providedlast year. Included are details aboutwhere your water comes from, what itcontains, and how it compares to Envi-ronmental Protection Agency (EPA) andstate standards. We are committed toproviding you with information becauseinformed customers are our best allies.

WATER SOURCE We serve more than 654 customers anaverage of 97,000 gallons of water perday. Our water is surface water that wepurchase from another water system.The state has performed an assessmentof our source water and they have deter-mined that the relative susceptibility rat-ing for the Kadoka public water supplysystem is low.

For more information about your waterand information on opportunities to par-ticipate in public meetings, call (605)837-2200 and ask for Patty Ulmen.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATIONThe sources of drinking water (both tapwater and bottled water) include rivers,lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs,springs, and wells. As water travels overthe surface of the land or through theground, it dissolves naturally-occurringminerals, and can pick up substances re-sulting from the presence of animals orfrom human activity.

Contaminants that may be present insource water include:

Microbial contaminants, such as virusesand bacteria, which may come fromsewage treatment plants, septic sys-tems, agricultural livestock operations,and wildlife.

Inorganic contaminants, such as saltsand metals, which can be naturally-oc-curring or result from urban stormwaterrunoff, industrial or domestic wastewaterdischarges, oil and gas production, min-ing, or farming.

Pesticides and herbicides, which maycome from a variety of sources such asagriculture, urban stormwater runoff, andresidential uses.

Organic chemical contaminants, includ-ing synthetic and volatile organic chemi-cals, which are by-products of industrialprocesses and petroleum production,and can also come from gas stations,urban stormwater runoff, and septic sys-tems.

Radioactive contaminants, which can benaturally-occurring or be the result of oiland gas production and mining activities.

In order to ensure that tap water is safeto drink, EPA prescribes regulationswhich limit the amount of certain contam-inants in water provided by public watersystems. FDA regulations establish limitsfor contaminants in bottled water whichmust provide the same protection forpublic health.

Drinking water, including bottled water,may reasonably be expected to containat least small amounts of some contam-inants. The presence of contaminantsdoes not necessarily indicate that waterposes a health risk. More informationabout contaminants and potential healtheffects can be obtained by calling the En-vironmental Protection Agency’s SafeDrinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791).

Some people may be more vulnerable tocontaminants in drinking water than thegeneral population. Immuno-compro-mised persons such as persons withcancer undergoing chemotherapy, per-sons who have undergone organ trans-plants, people with HIV/AIDS or otherimmune system disorders, some elderly,and infants can be particularly at riskfrom infections. These people shouldseek advice about drinking water fromtheir health care providers. EPA/CDCguidelines on appropriate means tolessen the risk of infection by Cryp-tosporidium and other microbial contam-inants can be obtained by calling theEnvironment Protection Agency’s SafeDrinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791).

If present, elevated levels of lead cancause serious health problems, espe-cially for pregnant women and youngchildren. Lead in drinking water is prima-rily from materials and components as-sociated with service lines and homeplumbing. The City of Kadoka publicwater supply system is responsible forproviding high quality drinking water, butcannot control the variety of materialsused in plumbing components. Whenyour water has been sitting for severalhours, you can minimize the potential forlead exposure by flushing your tap for 30seconds to 2 minutes before using waterfor drinking or cooking. If you are con-cerned about lead in your water, you maywish to have your water tested. Informa-tion on lead in drinking water, testingmethods, and steps you can take to min-imize exposure is available from the SafeDrinking Water Hotline or athttp://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead.

DECTED CONTAMINANTS

The attached table lists all the drinkingwater contaminants that we detectedduring the 2012 calendar year. The pres-ence of these contaminants in the waterdoes not necessarily indicate that thewater poses a health risk. Unless other-wise noted, the data presented in thistable is from testing done January 1 –December 31, 2012. The state requiresus to monitor for certain contaminantsless than once per year because the con-centrations of these contaminants arenot expected to vary significantly fromyear to year. Some of the data, thoughrepresentative of the water quality, ismore than one year old.

Infants and young children are typicallymore vulnerable to lead in drinking waterthan the general population. It is possiblethat lead levels at your home may behigher than at other homes in the com-munity as a result of materials used inyour home's plumbing. If you are con-cerned about elevated lead levels in yourhome's water, you may wish to have yourwater tested and flush your tap for 30seconds to 2 minutes before using tapwater. Additional information is availablefrom the Safe Drinking Water Hotline(800-426-4791).

Tillage may be the worst thingright now that could happen for soilin South Dakota fields say conser-vation officials. Spring tillage is atradition that is steeped deeplyinto American agriculture. Now,more and more producers are real-izing that tillage is not in the bestinterest of their soil’s health. “Tillage was once considerednecessary in order to prepare aproper seed bed for planting. Now,we know that we can produce asmuch or more grain without tillingthe soil,” says Jason Miller, Conser-vation Agronomist with the Natu-ral Resources Conservation Service(NRCS) Pierre, SD. “Tillage passes reduce surfacesoil moisture, but more alarming isthat fact that tillage is incrediblydestructive to soil; it is like a tor-nado going through a house,’ saysMiller. Tillage collapses and de-stroys organic matter and soilstructure. “Those macro pores inthe soil structure are essential–they are what helps water to infil-trate the soil profile,” he says.

“The possibility of 2013 beinganother dry year should have pro-ducers rethinking their use oftillage,” says Miller. In a tilled con-dition, soil is vulnerable to erosion.“As dry as the soil profile is start-ing out this year, even getting thecrop seeded will be difficult withouta concern for wind erosion,” saysMiller. Winds during the springeasily pick up soil particles ontilled fields before crops can be-come established. “Reducing or eliminating tillage,increases surface residue, buildsorganic matter and preserves soilhealth,” says Miller. Improvedcropping systems for building soilshould include no-till, diverse highresidue producing crop rotationsand cover crops. Producers interested in learningmore about soil health or wantingtechnical assistance for implement-ing a soil health management sys-tem on their farm or ranch shouldcontact their local NRCS office orvisit the Soil Health InformationCenter at www.nrcs.usda.gov.

Tillage worst thing for SD soils

Cropping Choices and WaterUse Relationships

The precipitation from the re-cent snow storm provided welcomerelief in terms of soil moisture.Standing stubble certainly showedits value as fields with stubblecaught a uniform layer of snowthat will help replenish dry soilswith an inch or more of valuablemoisture.

Depending on what moisture isreceived over the next month or so,farmers may be wise to considerthe water/yield relationship forvarious crops as they are makingplanting decisions this spring. TheUSDA-Agricultural ResearchService has conducted research ex-ploring the moisture needed toproduce the first bushel of grainand the bushels per inch of mois-ture for various crops. This infor-mation can be highly valuablewhen making cropping decisionswhen moisture is limited.

Corn is very efficient in usingwater as it can produce just over10 bushels per additional acreinch, but also requires just over 9inches of water to produce the firstbushel. Grain sorghum, or milo, isalso relatively efficient in produc-ing bushels once the initial re-quirement is met, at 9 bushels peradditional acre inch, but takesonly 6.5 inches to produce the firstbushel. That is why grain sorghumhas historically been a popularcrop in marginal rainfall areas.Grain sorghum lost some popular-ity in the 1990s, partially due to avolcano eruption that resulted incool summers for several years,above average rainfall during thesame period of time (which favoredcorn production), and improveddrought tolerance in corn hybrids.Summer temperatures have re-turned to higher levels in more re-cent years, and the uncertainty ofrainfall may bring resurgence inthe interest in sorghum.

Sunflower requires slightlymore water to produce the firstbushel/pound of grain thansorghum at 6.9 inches, and fewerequivalent bushels (6.3) per inch ofadditional water. Sunflower ismarketed on a different price perunit structure than corn andsorghum, so it’s not directly com-parable on a bushel/pound basisregarding yield.

Wheat, millet and soybean arefairly similar in both their waterrequirement to produce initialgrain yield and efficiency inbushels per additional acre inch ofwater. To produce the first unit ofgrain, wheat requires 5.2 inches,millet 3.5 inches, and soybean 3.7

inches. With each additional inchof moisture, wheat will produceabout 4.7 bushels, millet 4.2bushels, and soybean 3 bushels.Again, the price per bushel of eachcrop varies, and if one were to eval-uate each crop fairly regardingwater use efficiency, this wouldneed to be taken into account.

According to this research, fieldpeas are a remarkable crop in thatthey require less than 1 inch ofwater to produce grain. They canproduce 3 bushels of grain for eachadditional inch of moisture.

These numbers are not exactand each crop will perform best ifmoisture is available at the righttime and suffer if it is short at acritical time, like corn at pollina-tion and soybeans at flowering.

This information could provevaluable as producers are makingcropping plans while they watchthe skies and weather reports formore precipitation, which will benecessary for a successful growingseason.
