Marty Roghair drove over to report to me that my barn had gone with the fire, said Stotts. The fire came within yards of her house and destroyed her barn, but the firemen were able to keep the damage to only that. Straight south of Stottss house, the Brad and Shawna Roghair place was in danger. Clarice Roghair reported that Bob Roghair drove over with his tractor and disk, turning up ground to stop the fire from advancing any closer to the Roghair home. The Vander Schaaf s have been threatened by fire more than once this summer. The first time, a fire started in the east bound lane of Interstate 90, and spread up a draw towards their home. This time, the fire spread even further, coming within less than 100 yards of their home. Sherri Vander Schaaf said that the fire has flared up near their house twice since Wednesday. Sylva reported that the Murdo Fire Department stayed on the scene of the fire over night on September 19, and has been back every day to monitor and wet down hot spots as needed. Sixteen fire departments responded to the fire, including: Murdo, Draper, Belvidere, Kadoka, Midland, Philip, Ft. Pierre, Four Corners, Wood, White River, Vivian, Presho, Kennebec and Reliance, as well as the U.S. Forest Service National Grasslands stationed in Ft. Pierre and B.I.A. from Rosebud. The departments were assisted by many neighbors who drove personal fire fighting rigs. In addition to other departments, Sylva reported that many other services assisted with the fire. They include: Jones County Sheriff, Jones County Ambulance, SD Highway Patrol, Pierre Police Department, State Radio Commu-

Too close for comfortThe home of Flavia Stotts was surrounded by fire, but survived the disaster.Photo by Karlee Barnes nications, Rapid City Department of Transportation, SD Office of Emergency Management, Great Plains Dispatch, West Central Electric and Jackson County Emergency Management. Dean Nelson from West Central Electric reported that 40 powerline poles will have to be replaced as a result of the fire. He said that nobody was out of power for an extended amount of time during the fire. Pole replacement will continue for the next two weeks. Sylva estimated that 50-60 fire trucks responded, and approximately 120 firemen. After the fire jumped the Interstate, I put a call in to Great Plains Dispatch for single engineer air tankers, but before they could get mobilized, we had the fire under control, said Sylva. Direct dollar damage reported so far for the fire includes, but is not limited to: Borks fence, the hay lost and the buildings that were destroyed. Indirect dollar damage includes winter grazing pastures owned by Borks, and wheat stubble fields that provide cover and keep moisture in the ground. Sylva said, Thank you for everyone who brought food and water to the firemen, it really made it easier. The Murdo Fire Department has responded to approximately 50 fires so far this year. Eight of those include mutual aid calls, in which the department is called to help another county. Vegetation fires, such as grass or wheat, accounted for 25 of the calls. Sylva encouraged everyone to be careful when it comes to anything that can cause a fire. The season is not done yet, Sylva reminds. He said, at this point, rain will help, but it will not stop the fire season.

by Senator John Thune Earlier this month, our country looked back with sadness on the 11th anniversary of the September 11 attacks. Despite the anguish of losing more than 3,000 American lives that day, our country was inspired by the courage and sacrifice of the many men and women who honored the call to duty to defend our nation and our freedoms. Many of these men and women have served and continue to serve as members of the United States Air Force. This month the United States Air Force celebrated its 65th anniversary. In 1947, the Department of the Air Force was established as a separate and independent military service from the U.S. Army. Since then, thousands of pilots, gunners, radio operators, and navigators have served a proud and grateful nation as members of the U.S. Air Force. Not only has the Air Force continued to be an agent for positive change around the world, but it also has been a force for good right here in South Dakota. Ellsworth Air Force Base, which recently celebrated its 70th year as a military
smoke on SD Hwy 248, just after the fire crossed the highway. See page five for more pictures of the September 19 fire. Courtesy photo
base, continues to play an important military role and has had a direct positive economic impact in South Dakota. In fact, as one of the largest employers in the state, Ellsworth has an economic impact of more than $300 million to South Dakotas economy. While Ellsworth has experienced times of uncertainty, it has always played an important role in protecting our nation and promoting democracy around the globe. However, fiscal irresponsibility in Washington has the potential to impose significant cuts across the military, including all Air Force programs, due to the looming sequestration cuts that are scheduled to take place in January of 2013. While the risk is real, I am committed to protecting South Dakotas military installations and ensuring that Americas national defense is not compromised by these draconian cuts. I offer my congratulations and gratitude to all of our airmen and airwomen on the event of the U.S. Air Forces 65th anniversary, and encourage all South Dakotans to join me in keeping the brave members of our military and their families in our thoughts and prayers as they continue to serve on our behalf.

The Sheriff s report is printed as received by Jones County Sheriff s Office. It may or may not contain every call received by the department. Sheriff and Deputy calls: Sept. 13 Deputy Sylva assisted a Jones Co. landowner that was having issues with a neighbors bulls continuously getting on his land. Deputy Sylva and Sheriff Weber are investigating several reports of unlocked vehicles that were entered in to and items were stolen from the vehicles while they were parked in the school parking lot during the volleyball game on 9/11/12. Sept. 14 Deputy Sylva responded to a report of an accident that occurred in front of the Murdo Fire Hall. Both vehicles received minor damage. Sheriff Weber responded to a motorist assist on I90, westbound, mm 185. Vehicle was towed. Sheriff Weber responded to rural Jones Co. to assist with the dispute and impounding of bulls that were causing damage to crops. This is a continuance from the Sept. 13 call.
As a mother of three, I know how important nutritious meals are, but my concern is that these caps on calories are tying the hands of South Dakota schools in providing our kids the amount of food they need. That's why I sent a letter to USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack to ask how the department is monitoring the results of the new program and what kind of flexibility they are planning on providing schools. I think the best decisions are those made closest to home. When it comes to something as important as our kids' lunches, I think our local schools should have the flexibility to tailor the lunch program to better meet the needs of individuals students. I will continue to closely monitor this issue and do what I can to make sure that our kids are getting enough to eat and South Dakota schools arent unduly burdened because of these new standards.
resident. Sept. 19 Sheriff Weber responded to SD Hwy 248, two miles east of Murdo, to a report of a horse out that was almost hit by a passing motorist. The area was searched and the horse was not located. The owner was contacted, and advised to check for horse and to locate fence that it got out of. Sheriff Weber responded to I90, westbound, mm 192 to the report of a grass fire in the north ditch. The Murdo Fire Dept. responded and extinguished the fire. The fire was started by sparks from an REA pole. Sheriff Weber responded to I90, westbound, mm 177, to a report of a truck load of hay that was on fire. It was found that the truck was two miles north of Exit 177 on a gravel road. The truck and trailer were destroyed by fire which ignited several fires that burned approximately 2,500 acres and threatened five residences. The Murdo and Draper Fire Depts. along with 14 other fire departments extinguished the fires. Both lanes of I90 and SD Hwy 248 were closed for several hours due to condensed smoke and fires.

The gifts he gave were that some would be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, some pastors and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ (Ephesians 4:11-12). Did you know that you are one of the saints? Did you also know that you are a minister? How can that be? You might be saying to yourself, Im not ordained like my pastor. or I havent been to school / seminary to take all the classes that makes my pastor a pastor. or I havent been called into the ministry like my pastor. You are one of the saints. You are also a minister of the Gospel. You are correct in that you havent been to school or seminary like your pastor to take all those theological classes. And, you are right in that you havent been called into full-time ordained ministry like your pastor. But you are called as one of the saints. You have been called by God through your baptism, and as a member or constituent of the church you have been called to share the Good News of Gods love in Jesus Christ with others.

Your pastor is very clear on his / her mission and why God called him / her into the ministry. The apostle Paul made it very clear to pastors when he wrote the above verse in his letter to the Ephesian church, which also applies to the modern church today. The pastors / teachers role in the church is to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ. As a Christian, that means that you are a follower, a disciple of Jesus Christ. A disciple is a learner who along with his / her daily work, follows and every day and every week spiritual discipline, which includes daily prayer and Bible study, tithing, attending worship and Sunday School and the sacraments of the church, serving God and neighbor both inside the church and outside the church, and witnessing to others his / her faith in Jesus Christ. If you are a faithful follower of Jesus Christ then, without hesitation, you become a new creation in Christ as you become one with Him and He becomes one with you. Followers of Jesus Christ do not think of themselves as better than others or better

cancers. Granted that our ability to treat prostate cancer has improved substantially in the past 20 years, the principle of detecting and treating a prostate cancer early does apply. But to me, the biggest change in this last 20 years has been the use of the PSA test to detect prostate cancer at an earlier and more treatable stage. In the case of infectiosus, the diagnostic test resulted in a less favorable outcome for people with the disease. But it wasnt because of the test; it was because of what was done in response to the test. The same thing is true of prostate cancer. Doing a PSA test is not the issue. The issue is what one does because of the PSA test. That needs to be very carefully considered. The problem of over diagnosis already significantly impacts illnesses in our society. As our technology continues to improve, we will find diseases at an earlier and earlier stage. We need to be very, very careful about what we do because of the test. Thought of another way, over diagnosis translates to over treatment with resultant excess cost and excess complications. As a closing remark, one can see the conflicts of interest that arise from this phenomenon. Medicare and insurance companies are going to want to cut down on their expenses. Therefore, they will not want to do what they consider to be unnecessary tests that overdiagnose. And if the test is clearly unnecessary, I agree. But in the case of the individual who faces the actual disease process and the cost of same, expense might well be worth saving a life. All of the above require very careful consideration between a caregiver and the patient and avoidance of emotional and over-zealous decisions as much as possible.
USDA Farm Service Agency's (FSA) Emergency Conservation Program (ECP) provides emergency funding and technical assistance for farmers and ranchers to rehabilitate farmland damaged by natural disasters and for carrying out emergency water conservation measures in periods of severe drought. Funding for ECP is appropriated by Congress which has not been approved at this time. ECP program participants receive cost-share assistance of up to 75 percent of the cost to implement approved emergency conservation practices, as determined by county FSA committees. As mentioned above, there is no funding for the ECP practices at this time. Filing an application is still the first step to get cost share for pipeline projects or reimbursed for water hauling completed this summer. Contact the Jones County FSA Office for additional information at 605-669-2404 Ext. 2. 2012 NAP NOTICE OF LOSS AND PRODUCTION When a crop is affected by a natural disaster, producers must notify the FSA office where their farm records are maintained and complete Part B, (the Notice of Loss portion) of Form CCC-576, Notice of Loss and Application for Payment. This must be completed within 15 calendar days of the natural disaster occurrence or the date the damage to the crop or loss of production became apparent. To receive NAP benefits, producers must complete Form CCC576, Notice of Loss and Application for Payment, Parts D, E, and F as applicable, and certify in Part G, no later than the immediately subsequent crop year acreage reporting date for the crop.

Sanford Health announced a $10 million leadership gift in August to launch the fundraising effort. At the same time, SDSU announced another $8 million in leadership gifts from donors that wished to remain anonymous. This donor is excited by the transformational impact of this new facility not only for athletics and our 475 student-athletes but for the university, the city of Brookings and the region, said Director of Athletics Justin Sell. Its an incredible boost to our fundraising efforts for this project. We need to be clear to our alumni and friends: While this puts us well down the path to getting this project done, were not there yet. Our final hurdle is to generate support to equal this $5 million challenge match, Sell said. The Indoor Practice and Human Performance Center is a project of It Starts with STATE: A Campaign for South Dakota State University. The Foundation is leading the sixyear, $200 million campaign. With gifts and pledges from nearly 22,000 different donors, It Starts with STATE has already exceeded its goal. The campaign will conclude December 31, 2012.

grass around her home. At nearly 88 years old, she calmly did her part to save her home. Across the road from Flavias and on the other side of a tinderdry cornfield is the home of Nathan and Sherri VanderSchaaf, two young people who were raised in Iowas lush green landscape and have been married just over a year. As the fire attempted to burn its way through the long grasses in the draw and approach the home site, Nathan was battling flames on the northwest end of the fire and had no time to get around the inferno to protect his own home. When Sherri called for instructions about getting the farming equipment to safety, Nathan told her, Just get out of there. She evacuated as Bob Roghair was disking a fire guard around the buildings and equipment. Yet even as late as Sunday morning, fire in that draw again attempted to snuff out the young couples home site. After fire fighters put out the flames, Henry Roghair hooked up a tractor and disk and tore up the dead grasses from the draw to destroy fuel before it can flare up in the next wind. Once again, the prairie people have proved their mettle as units from all surrounding towns responded to fight the flames, neighbors stood together to join the battle, others made sandwiches and provided beverages for those in action. And in the days of clean-up, still others have come forward to help. Perhaps soon snow will cover the sad landscape, or perhaps rain will come to brighten burned areas with soft new grasses. Already, crews from West Central Electric have replaced rural electric poles and Golden West has made sure phone systems are working. Ranchers are estimating damage expense and hoping there will be insurance or funding somewhere to help replace fences and hay. The Bork Ranch alone lost seven miles of fence, much of it being new just in the last year or so. They also counted 382 big round bales along with all their fall and winter grazing land and their spring calving pasture. At a replacement cost that could amount to at least $200 per ton on the market, plus trucking, the lost hay will cost more than $40,000 plus trucking. Additional hay will have to be bought to replace the feed lost in the grazing land. But through it all, remember with me what I overheard said, Its just things. Things can be replaced, life cannot. And, before Bob Roghair could get out of his tractor last Wednesday night, a 13-year old blonde girl climbed up the steps of his rig, opened the door, and, in Bobs words, smothered me with a huge hug. That was all the thanks I needed for plowing a strip that kept the flames away from her home.
Firefighters continue to douse the burned field just north of Flavia Stottss house as interstate traffic moves slowly due to low visibility from the smoke. Courtesy photo

2012 will certainly go down in the record books as one of the driest growing seasons in history, and has also proven to be very educational. Granted, that may optimistic. It became obvious early in the summer that some crop sequences like corn following corn, soybeans, alfalfa or sunflower were much shorter on soil moisture than others. No-till fields seemed to withstand the drought better than tilled fields. Even within fields, large differences were seen in how well the crops handled the drought, reflecting changes in soil types and the water holding capacity of them. As you look ahead to the 2013 growing season and beyond, if you planted a crop that failed in 2012, that may not necessarily be a bad thing. That may sound easy to say when you dont farm, but if you farm in such a way that a crop never fails due to drought, you will not take full advantage of a good year. Regardless of your farming technique, good crop rotations have many benefits; including making the best use of the rainfall you receive. Producers in dry areas should strive for a mix of high and Matching the Cropping System to Water Availability

I unclogged the drain on the bathroom sink earlier this week. It had been getting worse and worse over the last month to six weeks until it had become very slow to empty. Using it required a bit more patience than I had. It was time or past time to fix things. Accordingly, I rounded up the big pliers-like tool I bought ages ago after seeing plumber Lloyd using one like it to good effect many times. A couple of screwdrivers were grabbed as well. Then I cleaned out the vanity under the sink just in case I made an unmitigated mess which was somewhat likely going on past experience. Taking a deep breath, I adjusted the pliers to the size of the nut on the plastic pipe and tentatively gave it a turn. It moved easily. Oh, good! I said. The nut on the other side of the trap moved just as easily. I could unscrew both of them by hand from there on. Oddly enough, the trap was completely clear. The problem had to be farther up. I probed up there with a big screwdriver and brought some stuff out, but the clog seemed to be higher still. Standing up, I considered how to get the drain plug out since some of those are connected by complicated screw contraptions that have completely defeated me in the past. When I gave a tug, though, the plug came right out. That was easy, I said in relief. From there I could see the obstruction, and the screwdriver soon had it out. It was a nasty glob of hair and unidentifiable slime. It only took a minute or two to remove it and flush the pipe into the pail I had under the drain below. Mission accomplished except for reconstruction. Luckily, the plug snapped right back in, and the trap went back on about as easily as it had come off. I tightened things with the pliers and tested my work by running some water through. No leaks. Excellent! A few wipes with a couple of paper towels and the job was done. That was easy, I said to myself. Why didnt I do that weeks ago? Because you dont have any confidence in your plumbing skills, was my immediate reply to myself. And that is so. It is not an area where I shine. I can do such things, but natural talent, aptitude and experience are somewhat lacking. As a result, I would rather put up with the inconvenience of a slow drain than actually try to fix it. As you know, a lack of confidence can inhibit our attempts to do various things. We might kind of want to do various jobs or activities but dont because we arent sure we can pull it off. Dealing with electrical matters certainly falls into that category with me. Im not very confident when it comes to plumbing, but double or triple that with electricity. You might make a big mess if you goof up in plumbing, but you could end up dead through a mistake with electricity. Im not sure that will ever change with me so I am not hesitant to call in an actual electrician if things look somewhat beyond me. I plan to continue that practice. In other areas, though, I can accomplish what I want to do if I work at it. About the first thing I need to do, however, is relax. If youre all tensed up, you cant do much. This I learned in part through playing complicated musical pieces in public. If youre too tense, your music wont be very good or youll scramble the hard parts. I have to just tell myself that, yes, there is a chance Ill goof up and embarrass myself, but, what the heck. So be it. Im going to give it a shot anyway and try to have a good time in the process. A lot of practice beforehand, of course, will make public performance easier. Public speaking is another instance of where one needs to consciously relax. Seeing all those eyes watching you could possibly make one tense. I dont have much of a problem with that anymore, but it was harder to do earlier in life when Id had no experience with it. You know, when Joshua was about to lead the Israelites into the Promised Land, God repeatedly told him, Be strong and courageous. Be strong and courageous. This was possible for Joshua because God had promised to be with him and help him. God promises to do the same for us if we trust him, even in everyday matters like plumbing. Oh dear! Wife Corinne just informed me that another drain in the house is having problems and could use some work. Perhaps Id better deal with that while my triumph over the first drain is still fresh in my mind. As the little train says in the childhood story about climbing a steep hill, I think I can. I think I can. I think I can.
have analyzed to date. SGS Labs, of Brookings, SD, provided analysis of a number of corn, corn silage, corn stalks, alfalfa hay, grass hay mix, lambsquarter (weed), oat forage, oat hay, and sorghum/sudan grass samples from June 28 September 4, 2012. The samples came largely from South Dakota, with some from Minnesota, Iowa and Nebraska. The majority of the samples came from southeastern and southern South Dakota, and the bordering parts of the other states. The highest level of Nitrate their analysis found was 1.14%, which is well over 2 times the level that is considered safe to feed, even when mixed with safer feedstuffs. The average level was 0.15%, which is at the upper limit of safe to feed to non-pregnant animals, and recommended to be limited to 50% of the ration for pregnant animals. The median level, which is the numerical value separating the higher half of the samples from the lower half of the samples, was 0.10%, which is safe to feed to all animals if adequate feed and water are available. Any of the labs will continue to test forages for Nitrates. 10/16-18/2012 SDSU Extension Annual Conference, Brookings, SD Calendar
As is the tradition, SDBIC is holding its annual meeting and Prime Promoter Award Luncheon in Brookings during the SDSU Beef Bowl. Its an excellent opportunity to partner with SDSU on a day the university honors the beef industrys important role in our state, says Frederick. As part of the Beef Bowl festivities, SDBIC will, for the second year, sponsor the Tailgate of the Year Award. The council will present $200, $100 and $50 in Beef Bucks respectively to the top three participants with the best use of beef at the tailgate party prior to the game. The South Dakota Beef Ambassadors will be on hand for the pre-game beef barbeque. SDBIC is also sponsoring the Beef Up Your Game instant replay during the game between the SDSU Jacks and the Missouri State Bears. The 2012 Prime Promoter and Distinguished Service Award recipients will also be introduced during halftime. The game begins at 6 p.m. at Coughlin Stadium on the SDSU campus. Cattle producers are encouraged to attend the annual meeting. Those wishing to attend the Prime Promoter Award Luncheon are asked to RSVP by September 21 by calling the SDBIC office at 605-224-4722.
Reports of dead deer are coming from across the state, and in some instances landowners are telling traditionally hosted hunters that opportunities will be limited, Vonk said. With that in mind, GFP is notifying deer hunters that they can voluntarily return a deer license for any season prior to the start of that respective season and receive a full refund. Hunters desiring a refund for a deer license should send their license, including all associated tags, to: GFP Licensing Office; 20641 SD Highway 1806; Fort Pierre, SD 57532. EHD is common in white-tailed deer and is typically detected in late summer or early fall. The virus is spread by a biting midge and causes extensive internal hemorrhaging. Many deer exhibit no clinical signs and appear perfectly healthy, while others may have symptoms such as respiratory distress, fever, and swelling of the tongue. With highly virulent strains of the virus, deer can be dead within one to three days. In an attempt to combat the high fever, affected deer are often found in low-lying areas or near rivers, ponds and other waters. GFP continues to ask individuals who see sick deer or find dead deer to contact their local conservation officer or call the Pierre office at 605-773-5913. EHD is not infectious to humans. For more information on the EHD virus visit http://gfp.sd.gov/wildlife/diseases/epizootic-hemorrhagic-disease.aspx.
