Even though it is hot, thatdoesn't mean you should forgooutdoor activity said LindsayHadlock, SDSU Extension Com-munity Food Policy Field Special-ist.

Although Hadlock acknowl-edges that exercising in the heatcan be a risky activity as yourbody heats up faster and has aharder time getting rid of heat,she shares ways we can prepareour body for exercising in the

heat."It's important to be cautious

when exercising in the heat. Heatillnesses can be very serious andeven result in death, when thebody isn't able to regulate its coretemperature. Heat stroke, heatexhaustion, heat cramps andheat rash are all different typesof heat illnesses with heat strokeand exhaustion being the mostserious," she said. "However, heatis not an excuse to become acouch potato."

Tips to consider before, duringand after exercise:

Get Hydrated: Maintainproper hydration before, duringand after a workout. Check outthe recommendations for hydra-tion provided by the AmericanCollege of Sports Medicine(http://www.acsm.org/docs/brochures/selecting-and-effectively-using-hydration-for-fitness.pdf).

Acclimate: If you are trainingfor an event that will take placein the heat, you should train inthe heat. It will take approxi-

mately 14 days for your body toget acclimated to exercising inthe heat.

Don't exercise during peakheat: If you are not training foran event in the heat, try to exer-cise during cooler parts of the day,such as the earlier morning orevening.

Plan your route: Whether youare walking, running, biking,kayaking or hiking, choose aroute that has ample shade toavoid direct sunlight. Pay atten-tion to how long it will take youand check out the forecasted heat

during that timeWear light, b

Buer also needs a semi truck butcommissioners told him that hecouldnt have both. CommissionerRusty Foster suggested buyingtwo used snow plow trucks for theprice of one new one. Buer saidthat maintenance becomes anissue with used equipment. Therewas some reason that somebody

got rid of it, he said.Some of his new equipment

budget will be for the first payment on the new zipper, whichwas recently purchased. Buerhopes to rent that piece of equip-ment out to other entities, whichwould help in making paymentsover the next five years.

The board moved $200,000 fromthe road and bridge fund to Gen-eral Fund, which didnt change thebottom line but gives the localboard more control over thatmoney. The annual sum, whenpaired with federal transportationfunds over the next five years, willbe used to pay for a new overlay onthe Bixby Road. It was upon theadvice of South Dakota Legislative

Audits that the local share be heldin General Fund to avoid lockingit into a road project.

The projected cost to overlay 27miles, on the north and south endsof the Bixby Road, is $5.7 million.There is a county resolution to putthe project on the Federal roadschedule for 2016.

The new budget, which totals ap-proximately $4.7 million, will uti-lize some surplus dollars tobalance expenditures and rev-enue.Also discussed during last weeks

meeting was a new policy thatwould allow department heads touse credit cards for some pur-chases. Chairman MikeSchweitzer announced that theremay be another grant opportunity up to $400,000 for the RailwayStreet project in Lemmon. Itsounds real promising, he said.Following a short executive ses-sion, official action was taken toname the County Commission assupervisors over the custodian.

Cards play first home game of 2013 seasA beautiful late summerening was on tap for the players,aches and fans as the Cardinalssted their first home game ofe young season. Their guests,ttle Moreau Conference oppo-nts the Faith Longhorns, were

esh off a victory over the Hard-

g County Ranchers. Followinge presentation of colors and aautiful rendition of The Starangled Banner by Jamesixey of Prairie City, everyone

as ready for some action on theidiron.The Cardinals received the kick-f and went three and out on theirst possession. A short punt gavee Longhorns great field positiond they almost scored on theirst play from scrimmage. Start-g at the four-yard line, the Long-rns ran for the end zone but

ere stopped by Layton Hendrick-n and Josh Beckman. On thext play they did find the goal

ne but were unsuccessful on theAT attempt.

It was a second three and out forson, once again giving Faithod field position. A pass to

haney Keffeler resulted in thenghorns second TD and Clay

ernstein added two with a PATn.Clayton Prelle ran the kickofft to the 16 for Bison. A run for a

ss and two incomplete passest the Cards in punting positionain. This time Hendrickson wasthe backfield to take the snapd he got off a nice punt whichve the Cards time to get down-ld to defend it. During the Faithnback, Reed Arneson sustained

neck injury which required a tripHettinger for tests. He did notturn to the game.

Faith committed a holdingnalty on their second play of thessession and was faced with ast and twenty. Two incompletesses and a Bernstein run

opped by John Hatle left thenghorns with a fourth and sev-teen. They went for it but theick hands of Hatle knocked thess down and the Cardinals tooker on downs.Still trying to find some offense,

the Cards were forced to punt onfourth down. Faith ran the ballback and scored again with 3:37left in the first quarter.

After receiving the kickoff,Prelle took the Michael Koprenpass and ran in to the Faith 32,giving Bison its best field position

of the game. Prelle was stopped ona run and a pass to Hatle yieldedonly one yard. They went for it onfourth down but came up a littleshort on a Hatle run.

After a fumble and recovery byFaith, a long pass put them ingood scoring position and a QBkeeper by Gereth Bushong put sixmore points on the visitor side ofthe board. A delay penalty on thePAT moved the ball back and theplay was unsuccessful.

Faith continued to score onnearly every possession in the sec-ond quarter. Prelle and Ty Collinsran for seven yards in the first se-ries of the quarter, but it wasntenough and punter Hendricksonkicked the ball away.

The Longhorns marched downthe field being stopped occasion-ally by Hatle, Hendrickson, Prelleor Beckman. They scored on aBernstein run and the PAT wasgood. The Faith team received twomore points on a Bison safety.

Following the safety, Faith re-ceived the ball and scored oncemore before the half. As the teamstook a break, the Cards were down0-44.

Faith received the opening kick-off of the second half and ran itback for a TD. According to the 50-point rule, this should have endedthe game. However, a push in theback penalty by the Longhornsbrought the ball back and the vis-itors ended up going three and out

on that possession.The Cardinal defense stepped

up in the third quarter and heldthe Longhorns scoreless. Thegame ended after the second playof the fourth quarter when the vis-itors found the end zone. Thegame was called by the 50-pointrule.

The Bison Courier Thursday, September 12

Jesus told them this parable: "The ground of a certain rich man produced a good crop. He thoughtto himself, 'What shall I do? I have no place to store my crops.' "Then he said, 'This is what I'll do.I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods.And I'll say to myself, "You have plenty of good things laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat,drink and be merry."' "But God said to him, 'You fool! This very night your l ife will be demandedfrom you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?' "This is how it will be with

anyone who stores up things for himself but is not rich toward God." Luke 12:16-21Good Investments

Many people are concerned about making good investments. Regardless of the way people maketheir investments, they want them to do well. There is another side to the concept of making a

good investment. That pertains to eternity. While earthly investments may become apreoccupation, one can never afford to ignore investing for eternity.

It is easy to put off the idea of planning for an eternal future. Our reason says there alwaysseems to be more time. What stands in stark contrast is when the Lord suddenly says, This very

night your life will be demanded from you. What happens then?Do I stand before the Lord and relate how well funded my 401k is? Do I tell him that my

investment performance was above average? Do I mention how well diversified I am? Will thisgive me peace of mind when he calls me from this life to the next?

There is only one way to invest for eternity and Jesus offers it: I need to be rich towardGod. Rich toward God does not mean I have a long list of wonderful accomplishments to make meworthy of heaven. No sinner can ever please our holy God on our own. Nor does it mean I have

been better than other people in this world. To be rich toward God actually means to not be in debtto God. This means the debt I have accumulated because of my sin needs to be covered. It meansthe deficit of good works I have through spiritual indifference needs to be paid off. The only waymy debt to God can be canceled is through the all-sufficient payment of my Savior Jesus Christ."He became poor, so that through his poverty I might become rich" (2 Corinthians 8:9). This iswhere I need to start and end when I consider a good investment for eternity. Investments can

perform well. When I rely on the precious Person and work of Jesus Christ, I know the results willbe perfect and full of peace. Be rich toward God. Jesus is our eternal 401k.

We pray: O Lord, Many spend their lives in fretting, Over trifles and in getting, Thingsthat have no solid ground. I shall strive to win a treasure, That will be bring me lasting pleasure,

And that now is seldom found. Amen (Hymn CW 421)

cant see the TREESor the ForestBy the time you read this, mye and blood pressure should beck to normal, meaning I wontve any more surprises freaking

e out because my husband willhome and in charge.

While he and our son went on elk hunting trip, I was inarge and had to haul water ife spring-fed livestock tanksuldnt keep up on hot days. The

ubs (husband) and I discussedior, his water hauling instruc-ns: 1) drive slow; the road is liketwo-lane cow trail 2), use four-w on the Forest Service road, 3)ck the hose between the tankd trailers side to keep it from

agging on the highway, and 4)se off the road and make thearp turn down hill when pulling to the tank just like he demon-

rated. I wasnt used to haulingater with a 900 gallon poly tank,different trailer, and the 6-speedodge dually, but I felt capable.y instructions were much sim-er; Please shower before youme home.

On one water-hauling trip Iwent to unload the water and dis-covered that the hose was severelypinched in its place from the tankshifting during transit! Severalthoughts ricocheted through myhead:

Theres 900 gallons of water inthe tank against that hose. Anybarehanded pulling or pushing onthe normally 2-inch inflexible, nowsquished hose is not going tobudge it.

The remaining hour and a half

is not going to be enough time topick my daughter up from volley-ball practice.

I HAVE TO get that hose loose.I wonder what my chances are

of having cell service here.How am I going to get that stu-

pid hose free?I may not make my 7 p.m.

P.E.O. meeting due to cows,AGAIN.

Lord, please help me figure outhow to get this hose out.

(For pride reasons) I REALLYdont want to call our neighbor.

Great tip on stowing the tankhose, Honey! If I wouldnt havedone it your way this predicamentwouldnt have happened to me!

Its 91 degrees out! (according

to the pickups thermometer).Dont start bawling YET (even

though I want to) about this criti-cal problem of it being 91 degreesand cows needing water.

If I ever get this hose free Imstoring it my way!

Im getting really sweaty,thirsty and dirty with these failedhose-freeing attempts.

The dumb solutions I actually

dreamt up to free the hose were:Using hubbys beloved pickup

to try and jolt tank to the otherside; freeing the hose (yes, dumband dangerous).

Pull up close enough to letwater run off the back of thetrailer into the tank (water wentto the front and came out the openside).

Figure out how to disassemblehose from tank without tools andlet water shoot into the stock tank.

Siphon out of the top? This

image almost made me laugh.Drain 900 gallons of water,free the hose, and start over.

Please remember that I was inextreme panic mode!

Instead, I MacGuyver-scrounged for solutions. Unfortu-nately, baling wire wasnt going tosave me. To avoid getting mad thetie-down straps that needed as-sembling into the ratchetingmechanism were disregarded andwhen the come-along looking con-traption (ratchet load binder, Iguess) and two log chains idea did-nt work (inexperienced ratchetload binder user) I got impatientand started over, but the logchains and I were friends. Secondslater, a big pine tree caught my

eye. I backed up to it, hooked thelog chain to the hose and the tree,pulled ahead, and popped the hosefree.

Once I had tanks filling, thefirst thing I did was find cell serv-ice. You knew as much as I didthat the first person to hear aboutmy ranch drama was going to be agirlfriend.
