Livestock producers need totest their water for sulfates, saysAdele Harty, SDSU ExtensionCow/Calf Field Specialist.

"There have been some ranch-ers who have lost cattle in thewestern part of the state due towater quality issues," Harty said."This means it is even more criti-cal to test the water before turn-ing cattle into a pasture."

As the drought continues,Harty says water quality issuescontinue to worsen as low precip-itation and increased evaporationfrom wind and high temperaturesincrease the risk of high sulfatewater.

"With no rainfall to rechargethe dams, the concentration ofsulfates continues to increase.Ranchers need to test wells, aswell as stock dams," Harty said.

Harty explains that excess sul-fate leads to problems in livestockranging from reduced water in-take to poisoning and death.

"If poor water quality is a prob-lem, it can result in reducedwater intake which in turn willcause animals to reduce feed in-take, leading to reduced perform-ance," Harty said.

Based on data from several re-search projects, Harty said levelsof sulfates that will reduce live-stock performance are 2000 -3000 ppm. If cattle are consumingwater with a sulfate level of 1500-2500 ppm it could cause tempo-rary diarrhea. At higherconcentrations of sulfate, i.e. lev-els greater than 3000 ppm, sul-fates are acutely toxic,contributing to polioencephalo-malacia (PEM). This basicallymeans it causes softening and de-terioration of brain tissue.

High sulfate water & blue

green algaeHarty explains that water that ishigh in sulfate salts can be foundthroughout the western portionsof the Northern Plains, includingthe Dakotas, Nebraska,Wyoming, and Montana.

"Water high in sulfates willhave a bitter taste. Animals willavoid it if better quality sources ofwater are available, but will beforced to consume it if that istheir only choice, especially in hotweather," she said.

She adds that non-native cat-tle are at greater risk than thoseraised on sulfate water.

"There is a higher incidence ofmorbidity and mortality in naïveanimals, brought in from otherstates, than in animals that havebeen drinking high sulfate watertheir entire life. Preliminary re-search suggests there is geneticvariation among individual ani-mals in a herd for susceptibility tohigh sulfate levels," Harty said."Susceptible animals have likelybeen eliminated - died or wereculled for poor performance - innative herds that have been ex-posed for generations to high-sul-fate water, but naïve herds will belikely to have susceptible individ-uals."

Along with sulfates, the hotdry weather provides a perfect en-vironment for production of bluegreen algae. Harty says if a bodyof water is infected with thisalgae and it is consumed by live-stock, death is certain.

She says the algae is difficultto detect because it does notclump together like more conven-tional algae. Livestock ownersshould look for it on the edges ofa dugout or body of water. If theyfind blue green algae, Harty says

the best method to protect theircattle is to fence it off.

"It is challenging to get rid ofand unpredictable," she said.

If a livestock producer thinkstheir livestock died from consum-ing blue green algae, she encour-ages them to contact their vet forverification.Signs to watch for

Dr. Russ Daly, Extension Vet-erinarian says if cattle have con-sumed water high in sulfates andmay have PEM, symptoms rangefrom reduced water and feed in-take, lethargy, star-gazing, head-pressing to blindness, staggering,going down and possibly end indeath. He says cattle can progressthrough this range of symptomsrapidly without treatment andrecommends working with yourlocal veterinarian in the treat-ment of PEM.

Options availableUnfortunately, Harty says

ranchers with high-sulfate water

have limited options. She says ifrural water is available; the re-turn on investment in pipelineswould be well worth the cost.

"If you are in an area that isnot served by a rural water dis-trict, drilling a new well is an-other option, but it is expensiveand has the risk that the watermay also have high sulfate lev-els," Harty said.

Another option, though ex-tremely expensive, is to haul low-sulfate water to the pastures.Unfortunately, this may be theonly viable option, at least tem-porarily.Sulfate testing available atSDSU Regional ExtensionCenters

To ensure that your watersource is safe for livestock, Hartyrecommends testing water peri-odically throughout the summer.

"Some water that is muddyand murky may be OK, while

other water that is clear may bequite dangerous. Many are sur-prised to hear this, but clearwater often means there's little tono life because of high sulfates,"she said.

SDSU Extension RegionalCenters have electroconductivity(EC) meters, which measure totalsalt content in water. This is anindicator of sulfate levels. If theEC meter reads greater than3,000 ppm total dissolved solids,SDSU Extension recommends ad-ditional testing at an accreditedlaboratory to determine the ac-tual sulfate level.

I was glad to see the story andpicture Craig Ness sent in of him-self and Rattlesnake Pete. It toldof Pete’s dam being a popularplace for picnics and bullheadfishing. A few years before hedied, Ernie Gottschalk hadbrought me a couple pictures of apicnic at the dam in the 1920s.We had fun identifying the peoplein the picture. It must have beenthe 4th of July. All the peoplewere sitting on the groundaround spread out table clothseating.

My dad, Matt Clasen was agood fisherman and a fast fish

cleaner and had came prepared. Afew others ‘may’ have helped him.The ladies fried up a good amountof fish on a campfire.

As Matt told it – and as itshowed in the picture, he sat atthe down end of the table cloth. Afamily of non-fishing non-cleanerssat at the head of the table clothwith the fish platter at theirelbow. “My how they liked thosecrispy fried bullheads!” Matt wasa naive person so never asked forthe fish to be passed around andthey weren’t. Matt never got ataste of his labor!

DEADWOOD, S.D. (8/31/12) –Joined by his accompanying fam-ily of musicians, Nashville-basedguitar, accordion, keyboardistand multi-instrumentalist masterRory Hoffman, originally of Lem-mon, So. Dak. and due to be in-ducted into the South DakotaCountry Music Hall of Fame thesame weekend he plays in Dead-wood, will take to the DeadwoodMountain Grand event centerstage as the anchor act in theRory Hoffman Family ReunionConcert at 9 p.m. Friday, Septem-ber 7. Hoffman's induction intothe South Dakota Country MusicHall of Fame is set to take placeSunday, September 9.

Recently featured on the frontpage of Nashville's "The Ten-nessean" newspaper, which de-scribed his style as "unusual andcompelling," Hoffman, a blindmulti-instrumentalist who beganteaching himself to play guitarand piano at age 3, is gaining

great accolades from some of thebest in the country music busi-ness, including Brad Paisley andKeith Urban, both quoted in thestory.

Blind since birth, Hoffmanwho has mastered no less than 14stringed, keyboard and wind in-struments, grew up recording andtouring with his family, which in-cludes three other siblings whoare also blind. The entire familywill join Hoffman on the Dead-wood Mountain Grand EventCenter stage as part of the re-union concert.

"This is a very unique opportu-nity, not only to hear Rory, butthe whole family in concert," saidDeadwood Mountain Grand en-tertainment director Bob Wag-oner. “They're coming from allover to celebrate Rory's accom-plishment, so this is a true familyreunion.”

Hoffman was raised on a smallranch in North Dakota and grew

up recording and touring with thefamily Gospel band. By age 5 hewas the drummer in the familyband. In 2001 he traveled toNashville for the first time torecord his Gospel instrumentalCD, "Blind Faith." He moved toNashville permanently in thespring of 2008 and currentlyworks as a freelance session andtouring musician. In addition tohis own releases, Rory alsorecords and performs regularlywith Texas western swing hall offame member Carolyn Martin,Paul Kramer and Swing Street,and Nashville's premier gypsyjazz trio, the Gypsy Hombres. In2004 and 2005 Hoffman receivedInstrumentalist of the Year fromthe ICMA based in Nashville.

Rory's personal musical careerwas jumpstarted in 1999 uponwinning Grand Champion Instru-mentalist at the Christian ArtistSeminar in the Rockies. Later, hehelped form Depot Music Produc-tions, based in Mobridge So. Dak.There he self-produced his secondalbum "Fishin,'" this time choos-ing country music as his theme.His most recent release, called"Swing Expedition," demon-strates his abilities and inven-tiveness on almost everyinstrument he plays. Tunes rangefrom a gypsy jazz arrangement ofa Star Wars theme, a bossa novarendition of a classic countrysong, to an all-harmonica treat-ment of a Cole Porter standard.

Aftersupper they stopped in for a shortvisit with Corinna Thompson.Tucker and Bev Hudson cele-brated their forty-eighth weddinganniversary in June so we'll belooking for their fiftieth soon.Congratulations to both couples.

Our weather has cooled off alittle but we are still dry as all getout. Everytime we see any cloudsall the ranchers check their fire-fighting units to see that they'refull of gas and the water tanksare full. Last night there werefires north of Faith but I'm notsure whose land they were on orhow much burned. We watchedthe lightning strike as we drovehome and knew someone was infor it. Thanks to everyone who'sever swung a wet gunny sack,used a shovel or sprayed water ona prairie fire. Without all the vol-unteers who work so darn hardwe'd be up a creek without a pad-dle in pretty short order. Takecare and God Bless all of you.

After graduation from collegein May of ’63 I returned again toresume my internship, which wasaccomplished by Dec. 31. Turning21 that month, a requirement forlicensure, I received my licenseafter State and National Boardexams. Evanson’s now had a li-censed Funeral Director/Em-balmer on staff, but still an internin the Furniture Business. Invari-ably, long days of furniture work,carpet installation, cleaning anddeliveries led to the phone ringingin the night or early morning forthe ambulance or a funeral call.I was assigned the telephoneafter hours, and could only leaveit if the old diverter dial knobswere set to a number that wouldanswer, like in one of the Evan-son family’s homes, or wherever Iwas going. Technology changehad to come as far as I was con-cerned and eventually it did…tothe extreme as far as the elders ofthe firm were concerned. We evenhad an electric typewriter by thenand the pre-bound, hand writtenFuneral Record books were re-placed with loose leaf binders sowe could type the pages. AfterMary Jean and I married andmoved to our first apartment,374-3805 came with us as well asthe diverter and has been with usuntil our “retirement”. Faithfullyshe answered the phone in my ab-sence, forgoing many of her inter-ests or social activities to “be oncall”.

In 1968 the firm name changedto Evanson Jensen Furniture andFuneral Home, when Mary Jeanand I purchased a 25% interest inboth businesses. In 1965 the fur-niture challenge to be profitablehad been met and the furnitureoperation expanded and moved toa new and larger location at 101Main St. Thereafter, the partner-ship relationship flourished aswell with Evie’s business experi-ence, personality, guidance andexcellent hired help. So in 1971we were offered another 25%ownership and became equalpartners, sealing the name Evan-son Jensen to this day.

Ollie had worked at the storesince 1941 and acquired skills indecorating, knowing quality fur-niture and knowledge of our cus-tomers. She also would “fingerpeck” on the inside of a displaywindow while someone was wash-ing the outside. This impeccableappearance of everything waspassed on to many faithful em-ployees. Harold Crow, HelenHintz, Jack Rafferty, HelenBaumgarten, Anna Zent, JeffHaase, Alice Ashmore, EyvonneLangehough, Vi Kostelecky, BillLogan, Ross Milliken and RayHuber and funeral home interns,Mike Smith, Curt Jerde and JoeStout were with the firms duringthis 25 year period. Many a storycould be told of our relationshipand happenings with each butthis can be reviewed in our 1987publication of the 75th Anniver-sary.

In 1975 Evanson Jensen Fu-neral Home was relocated to 5017th Ave. W. upon the acquisitionof the Prince of Peace Churchnorth of Lemmon the prior year.The building was located acrossthe Cedar River, north of Lem-mon. Bids were received for a hogbarn, an implement shed and fora funeral home. Luckily for us wewere the highest bidder and thecongregation was pleased as well.The name of the Chapel area,which was their church, remainsPrince of Peace Chapel. The 30’ x75’ main structure of laminatedrafters and 4” x 6” tongue ingroove ceiling/roof came to townin one piece, with all the weightat the top of the structure sway-ing front to back. We couldn’t be-lieve one piece of the stained glassdidn’t fall out. The first servicearranged from our new locationwas in mid-January 1975.

In 1976, I was talked into run-ning for the State Senate by Rep-resentatives George Mortimer,Belle Fourche and Harold Millett,Reva. They also had the help ofVernon Evanson’s attorney whichmust have been the reason he ap-proved and granted the timeneeded to campaign that summerand fall. Successful in November,I served Butte, Harding, Perkinsand Corson Counties in the ’77and ’78 sessions and was re-elected to serve in the ’79 and ’80sessions. Of course the work of a

Senator didn’t just involve thesession times, but all year aroundto committee and constituentmeetings. I could tell this was be-ginning to wear on Evie and ourpartnership, even though I tookall night calls, weekends and putin many 16 hour days. Mary Jeanput in extra effort and time aswell with her phone answeringduties and in raising our fourchildren. So to save my marriage,partnership and see my childrengrow up, I decided not to runagain in 1980. This is not to saythat those four years werewasted. They were very educa-tional and productive and we meta lot of great people. Interest-ingly, the same furniture sales-man who disappointed DickEvanson in 1959 had this to saywhen I was running, “are younuts….you’re going to lose everycustomer this place has!” Know-

ing he was of an opposite politicalpersuasion I should have said,“Then grab your satchel and hitthe door…as we won’t be needinganymore merchandise.” He neversaid anything more in his returnvisits, but did notice a drop in hismerchandise on our showroomfloors and an increase in his com-petitor’s lines, and business at thestore kept improving.

During these busy growthyears, Evie put a lot of extra timeinto the Lemmon Economic De-velopment Corp., helped establisha radio station in Lemmon, over-

saw the construction of a HousingProject and enjoyed his game ofgolf, much like he did when his fa-ther was his partner.

Our founder, R.S. “Dick” Evan-son passed away in 1971, at theage of 84, and was the first deathin this family of funeral directors.I took care of the arrangements,taking my instructions fromGrandma Sadie (as our familycalled her) Evie, Ollie, and his sis-ters. After the service while visit-ing with Evie, he related to meand later to others, “I’ve beenthrough this with so many others,but now fully realize with thepassing of Dad what they havegone through.” His personal test-ing came after nearly 40 years inthe profession, not before.

Grandma Sadie died in April of1985 at the age of 87. In those 14years of widowhood she continuedto be active with her flowers,church and yard, present at ourfamily gathers, and quietly sup-portive of the Evanson Jensenpartnership family.

It was in 1979 and 1981 thatwe acquired the funeral homes inMott and Elgin, ND and we weregraciously welcomed into thosecommunities. As the work loadincreased, Evie and I agreed thatanother full time funeral directorbe hired and Bill Logan came onboard. Just to stay busier, we op-erated a furniture store in Elginfor a time with Jacque Bauer asmanager.

Then in Dec. of 1985, Evie an-

Evanson Jensen 100th annniversary - Part III nounced his retirement and wasready to sell his partnership in-terest. We evidently had donewell enough as partners to assurehis retirement, which he soonwould enjoy immensely. Newtechnology might have had a playin his retirement as the chairepisode had for his father. We hada fax machine, so we didn’t haveto telephone newspapers and pro-nounce and spell every word of anobituary, but when I suggested acopy machine and an electroniccash register, I think Evie startedlooking toward the door. Hewould come in and check on us oc-casionally, or have a copy of some-thing made on our new copymachine! But, one time when Iasked him to help at the funeral

home because we were going sev-eral directions at once, he said“No, I’m going golfing.” He said“perfect retirement is doing allthe things you love to do, and aslittle of the things you don’t wantto do as possible.”

Of course, he and Ollie hadwintered, prior to retirement, inCalifornia and taken many othertrips, as well as summers at theircabin in Spearfish Canyon. Theycontinued to enjoy this and theirgrandchildren in full retirementafter Dec. 31, 1985.

So this takes us through thethird 25 year segment of our Cen-tennial, except for ‘86 and ’87which I will overlap into the nextedition. Doesn’t time fly whenyou’re 50 or older?

PIERRE, S.D.— Even thoughSouth Dakota is still in the laststages of a hot and dry summer,Game, Fish and Parks Depart-ment officials are encouragingfarmers and ranchers to beginthinking about the importance ofprotecting alfalfa, hay and otherstored feed supplies from winter-ing wildlife.

“With the effects of this year’sdrought, we know that hay andother feed supplies will be evenmore valuable this coming win-ter,” GFP Wildlife Damage Pro-gram Administrator Keith Fisksaid. “If South Dakota experi-

ences a normal winter where wehave even average accumulationsof snow it will be important forproducers to consider taking someproactive steps that will reducethe potential for wildlife damage.”Fisk added that many producershave reported they’ve been able toreduce or prevent wildlife damagejust by giving some carefulthought to where they locate theirwinter livestock feed.

“If producers have chronicproblems with wildlife damagedespite their best efforts, we wantto make sure they’re aware thatGFP has several cost-share pro-

Approx. 44 acres of the Black Hills! This is agreat opportunity to own a beautiful property withincredible views. Scattered pine trees and closeto town. This is a rare find at an affordable price.Don’t miss this one - $149,000.00

grams available to help protecttheir feed supplies,” Fisk said.Over the past 15 years, GFP hasdeveloped several wildlife dam-age abatement programs whichprovide cost-share assistance toproducers.

One program helps supply pro-tective panels that can be tem-porarily loaned to producers tohelp protect feed supplies. An-other program actually helps pro-ducers fund the purchase andconstruction of stackyards orother protective fencing meas-ures.

Because GFP’s Wildlife Dam-

age Program is funded entirelywith hunting license fees, produc-ers are asked to sign an agree-ment that states they don’tcharge for hunting access andthey’ll agree to allow a reasonableamount of free public access forhunting.

“Permanent stackyards workwell for producers who have spe-cific locations where they storehay or other feed every year,” saidFisk. “Our portable panel pro-gram has also become popularwith producers over the last fewyears. The great thing about thepanels is they allow producerssome flexibility in where theyplace feed supplies from year-to-year.”

Ensuring an adequate harvestof big game animals on an annualbasis remains the best tool avail-able to help producers reduce

wildlife damage on their property.However, should producers expe-rience wildlife damage from con-centrations of deer, elk orturkeys, GFP encourages them tocontact a GFP representative assoon as possible.

Since 2005, GFP has workedwith more than 800 individualproducers to provide financial as-sistance to help them build per-manent stackyards or purchaseprotective panels. On an annualbasis, GFP expends more than$2.5 million to assist producerswith a wide variety of programsdesigned to help reduce damagescaused by wildlife.

For more information or assis-tance, producers may contacttheir local Wildlife Damage Spe-cialist or GFP Division of Wildlifeoffice.
