at a steadily growing pre-recessionpace, in dollar terms. This has con-tinued in each of the first threequarters of FY 2012.

Each quarter has produced moreloans and more dollars loanedthan the previous quarter. In thequarter just completed last week,weve averaged 1,120 loan ap-provals and more than $450 mil-lion per week nationally.

After many years of suchpressure, and especially afteryears of smoking, the walls of thismighty vessel can weaken andblood can split into one of the lay-ers of the vessel, dissect down, andfinally rupture or blow out the ves-sel, causing immediate death.

Some 14,000 Americans diefrom this condition each year andthat would be less is properscreening occurred. My patient didnot die, but he went to surgeryand within hours a new lining tohis aorta was provided. Now,something like 10 years later, he isstill alive and joking with me.

The Prairie Doc PerspectiveBy Richard P. Holm MD

Do you remember the shortstory The Tell-Tale Heart byEdgar Allan Poe? It ends withthese words:

no, no! They heard! theysuspected! they KNEW! theywere making a mockery of my hor-ror! and now again! hark!louder! louder! louder! Villains!I shrieked, I admit the deed! tear up the planks! here, here! Itis the beating of his hideousheart!

I have a real story of a telltaleheart. His wife almost had to forcehim to come to the E.R. She saidhe was unusually irritable. Al-though he typically kidded withme, this evening the smile wasgone. He complained of a throb-bing abdominal discomfort thatspread into a tearing pain into hisback. On exam he had a pulsatingabdominal mass and upon listen-ing with the stethoscope I couldhear a repeating and prominentwhoosh. My patient had the tell-tale indications of a dissecting ab-dominal aortic aneurysm.

The aorta is the largest bloodvessel that extends from the top ofthe heart and it provides oxy-genated blood to virtually everycell in the body. It is a multi-lay-ered, high-pressure hose thatarches upward and around send-ing tributaries to neck and brain,arms and then down through thechest past the diaphragm. Once itreaches the abdomen, the aortasends branches to bowels, kidneys,and finally splits to the twofemoral arteries providing bloodfor the legs.

Telltale Heart

Nearly 4 Million Acres of LandOpen to Haying and Grazing;Obama Administration-widedrought response continues

Agriculture Secretary Tom Vil-sack announced two new pieces ofdisaster assistance for farmers andranchers impacted by the nation'sworsening drought. First, Vilsackis expanding emergency hayingand grazing on approximately 3.8million acres of conservation landto bring greater relief to livestockproducers dealing with shortagesof hay and pastureland. Second,the Secretary announced that cropinsurance companies have agreedto provide a short grace period forfarmers on insurance premiums in2012. As a result, farming familiesnow have an extra 30 days to makepayments without incurring inter-est penalties on unpaid premiums.

Earlier, Vilsack signed disasterdesignations for an additional 218counties in 12 states as primarynatural disaster areas due to dam-age and losses caused by droughtand excessive heat. Counties des-ignated are in the states of

Arkansas, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois,Indiana, Kansas, Mississippi, Ne-braska, Oklahoma, South Dakota,Tennessee, and Wyoming. More

than half (50.3 percent) of all coun-ties in the United States have beendesignated disaster areas byUSDA in 2012, mainly due todrought.

"President Obama and I willcontinue to take swift action to gethelp to America's farmers andranchers through this difficulttime," said Vilsack. "The assis-tance announced will help U.S.livestock producers dealing withclimbing feed prices, critical short-ages of hay and deteriorating pas-turelands. Responding to my re-quest, crop insurance companiesindicated that producers can forgointerest penalties to help our na-tion's farm families strugglingwith cash flow challenges. TheObama Administration intends tocontinue helping those who farmor ranch and live and work in rural

America through this period of

hardship."Emergency Haying and Graz-ing

In response to the expandingdrought, Secretary Vilsack an-nounced that livestock producersand other participants in the Con-servation Reserve Program (CRP)will now be able to hay and grazeacres that have been ineligible inthe past. Many of these additionalacres have wetland-related charac-teristics and are likely to contain

better quality hay and forage thanon other CRP acres. There are ap-proximately 3.8 million acres thatwill now be eligible for emergencyhaying and grazing, subject to cer-tain conditions. Haying and graz-ing may only occur under strictcompliance rules to help minimizeimpacts on these sensitive spe-cialty practices. In addition, USDAwill conduct follow-up monitoringand evaluation of these openedCRP areas to study the effects ofthe drought and USDA's emer-gency haying and grazing actions.Producers should contact theirlocal Farm Service Agency officesfor additional information.Federal Crop Insurance

Secretary Vilsack announcedthat crop insurance companieshave agreed to provide a shortgrace period for farmers on insur-ance premiums in 2012. To helpproducers who may have cash flowproblems due to natural disasters,Secretary Vilsack sent a letter tocrop insurance companies askingthem to voluntarily defer the ac-crual of any interest on unpaidspring crop premiums by produc-ers until November 1, 2012. Inturn, to assist the crop insurancecompanies, USDA will not require

crop insurance companies to payuncollected producer premiumsuntil one month later.

During the 2012 crop year,USDA has designated 1,584 undu-plicated counties across 32 statesas disaster areas1,452 due todroughtmaking all qualifiedfarm operators in the areas eligiblefor low-interest emergency loans.The U.S. Drought Monitor indi-cates that 66 percent of the na-tion's hay acreage is in an area ex-periencing drought, while approx-imately 73 percent of the nation'scattle acreage is in an area experi-encing drought. During the weekending July 29, USDA's National

Agricultural Statistics Service re-ported that U.S. soybeans rated 37percent very poor to poor, match-ing the lowest conditions observedduring the drought of 1988. NASSalso reported that 48 percent of the

U.S. corn crop was rated very poorto poor, while 57 percent of the na-tion's pastures and rangeland arerated very poor or poor condition.

Last week, President Obamamet with Secretary Vilsack andmembers of his Cabinet to discussadditional steps the Administra-tion could take to help farmers,ranchers and business ownersmanage and recover from the cur-rent drought. Later in the week,President Obama directed Secre-

tary Vilsack to convene a meetingof the White House Rural Councilto update members and stakehold-ers on the Administration responseto the drought. Vilsack will updateRural Council members and stake-holders again next week on newsteps taken by the Administrationto combat the drought.

Under Secretary Vilsack's lead-ership, USDA has announced a va-riety of steps to get assistance toproducers impacted by the worsen-ing drought, including:

Allowing additional acresunder CRP to be used for emer-gency haying or grazing. The ac-tion allows lands that are not yetclassified as "under severedrought" but that are "abnormallydry" to be used for haying andgrazing.

Allowing producers to modifycurrent Environmental Quality In-centives Program (EQIP) contractsto allow for grazing, livestock wa-tering, and other conservation ac-tivities to address drought condi-tions.

Authorizing haying and graz-ing of Wetlands Reserve Program(WRP) easement areas in drought-affected areas where haying andgrazing is consistent with conser-

vation of wildlife habitat and wet-lands. USDA has expedited its au-thorization process for this hayingand grazing.

Encouraging crop insurancecompanies to provide a short graceperiod for farmers on unpaid in-surance premiums, as some farm-ing families can be expected tostruggle to make ends meet at theclose of the crop year.

Reducing the emergency loaninterest rate from 3.75 percent to2.25 percent.

Lowering the reduction in theannual rental payment to produc-ers on CRP acres used for emer-gency haying or grazing from 25percent to 10 percent in 2012.

Simplifying the Secretarial dis-aster designation process and re-duced the time it takes to desig-nate counties affected by disastersby 40 percent.

USDA agencies have been work-ing for weeks with state and localofficials, as well as individuals,businesses, farmers and ranchers,as they begin the process of help-ing to get people back on their feet.

The U.S. Small Business Admin-

istration has also made 63 agencydeclarations in 33 states covering1,675 counties, providing a path-way for those affected to apply foran Economic Injury Disaster Loan(EIDL). SBA's EIDLs are availableto small, non-farm businesses andsmall agricultural cooperativesthat are economically affected bythe drought in their community.

Also, U.S. Department of Trans-portation Secretary Ray LaHoodwill convene a call with states tolisten and discuss the ways inwhich U.S. DOT can work withGovernors and State Departmentsof Transportation to help commu-nities impacted by the drought.Secretary LaHood will be joined byboth Anne Ferro, Administrator ofthe Federal Motor Carriers Safety

Administration and Greg Nadeau,Deputy Administrator for the Fed-eral Highways Administration.

The Obama Administration,with Agriculture Secretary Vil-sack's leadership, has worked tire-lessly to strengthen rural America,maintain a strong farm safety net,and create opportunities for Amer-ica's farmers and ranchers. U.S.agriculture is currently experienc-ing one of its most productive peri-ods in American history thanks to

the productivity, resiliency, and re-sourcefulness of our producers. Astrong farm safety net is impor-tant to sustain the success of

American agriculture. USDA'scrop insurance program currentlyinsures 264 million acres, 1.14 mil-lion policies, and $110 billionworth of liability on about 500,000farms. In response to tighter finan-cial markets, USDA has expandedthe availability of farm credit,helping struggling farmers refi-nance loans. In the past threeyears, USDA provided 103,000loans to family farmers totaling$14.6 billion. Over 50 percent ofthe loans went to beginning andsocially disadvantaged farmersand ranchers.

Primary counties in SouthDakota are designated as disasterareas:

Bennett, Bon Homme, Butte,

Charles Mix, Clay, Custer, Davi-son, Douglas, Fall River, Gregory,Haakon, Hanson, Hutchinson,Jackson, Lawrence, Lincoln, Mc-Cook, Meade, Pennington, Shan-non, Todd, Tripp, Turner, Unionand Yankton.

Wildfires, severe drought, in-creased visitors and fire restric-

tions in the Black Hills area neces-sitated bringing in a team ofhighly trained educators to SouthDakota.

Black Hills National Forest Su-pervisor Craig Bobzien requestedthe group be assigned to fire pre-vention and education support forthe next two weeks. SupervisorBobzien said, Fire danger is highright now and we want to help ourvisitors understand how they canprevent fires. Our goal is to keeppeople safe and enjoying clearskies in the Black Hills.

The Fire Prevention Team willbe here during the Sturgis Motor-

Fire prevention teamhelps educate public

cycle Rally. They are coordinatingtheir education efforts with the

State of South Dakota and local ju-risdictions.

Vince Urbina, Prevention TeamLeader, said, The conditions inthe Black Hills are why a teamwas ordered. Team members willbe out in the campgrounds andcommunities, at various events,and of course around Sturgis tohelp educate the public about pre-venting wildfires. This is what wedo, and hopefully the rest of theyear will see a drop in human-caused wildfires.

Olympic Summer games are stillgoing on. Those athletes have beentraining for years, certainly takesdedication. Gymnastics and swim-ming are still favorites for me.

Shauna, Remmington and Mar-lee Kay Meyerink of Platte, spenta couple days at the Williamsranch. They went to Rapid City onSunday to visit Shaunas mother,Debbie.

We did have a couple showerslast week Thursday eveningproduced three-tenths of an inch.The shower cooled things off nicelyas there was some hail but notenough to damage anything. Theelectricity was off for less than halfan hour - never heard the cause.Friday nights late shower put onlyone-tenth of an inch in the gauge.Saturday was a beautiful day with78 degrees for a high. Its warmingup again this week so most proba-bly there will be red flag warningsfor fire danger.

Have a good week!

837-2053Greetings This should have

been in last weeks but the notesdisappeared and now correct me ifneeded.

Vern and Carol Omdahl made atrip to Rapid City recently to ob-serve a special meal out in obser-vance to Verns birthday. I believelast year they were down southand observed Verns and one oftheir young sons just a couple ofdays a part. Oh where are mynotes?

Then I was making notes re-cently some people were getting aspot of rain and some of the neigh-bors got some hail and now our big

danger is the fires. The destructivefires. On the news they weretelling about the long, long run-ning big Williams place that everybuilding on the ranch/farm wasburned to the ground. How heart-breaking. I remember a year ortwo ago the ranchers had to get outand cut thistles for hay before theydried up. So it could be worse. Youhave to love working with the landand the critters.

Dennis and Kay Sieler droveinto Wall recently and enjoyedWalls Celebration parade. Dennishas been busy harvesting and isdone.

Monday, Ruby Gabriel accompa-nied her cousins of Faith, to theWhite Horse Ministry Demonstra-tion in Faith. The horse trainerdemonstrated how to calm andteach the horse so his daughtercould ride it in two hours. Thehorse was unbroke but his daugh-ter rode it following the demon-stration with the horse and rope.

Several relatives and friendsmet at the Lutheran Church inWall to wish Delja Hofmann ahappy birthday. There were sev-eral Congratulations for wedding

anniversaries, may the Country-side add ours.

The Countrysides sincere sym-pathies are extended to loved onesfor the loss of their loved ones. Thought: What you get byachieving your goals is not as im-

portant as what you become byachieving your goals. Optimism isthe one quality more associatedwith success and happiness thanany other.

b Pastor Rick KurthYe are our epistle written

in our hearts, known andread of all men (II Cor. 3:2).

Since the Corinthianswere saved by Pauls gospel(I Cor. 15:1-4), the apostlecalls them his epistles. Web-ster said that an epistle is awriting communicating in-telligence to a distant per-son. Surely the intelli-gence, i.e., the informationthat the Corinthians commu-nicated to the world was thateven the most sinful of mencould be justified by Godsgrace (I Cor. 6:9-11).

But if Paul could say to theCorinthians, ye are our epis-tle, why does he go on tosay that they were mani-festly declared to be theepistle of Christ (3:3)? Ah, aletter written by an apostleunder the inspiration of theSpirit was a letter fromChrist! And since everyonewho is saved today is alsosaved as a result of havingbelieved Pauls gospel, youtoo are a Pauline epistle!And so the debate overwhether Paul wrote 14 orjust 13 epistles is over! Theapostle penned millions ofletters over the past manycenturies.

It has often been said thatyou are the only Bible thatsome people will ever read,and this is sadly so. What aresponsibility this places onus to live lives worthy of the

Lord! Handwriting expertscan tell who a letter is fromby the way the is are dottedand the ts are crossed, etc.Can men tell who sent you,Christian friend? Are youdotting all the is and cross-ing all the ts when it comesto godliness? Many Chris-tians who wouldnt dream ofcorrupting the written word ofGod found in Pauls epistles(II Cor. 2:17) carelessly cor-rupt the living epistles of theirlives by inconsistent godli-ness. Remember, lettersdont get time off! They readthe same today as they didyesterday, and we tooshould be as consistent inour Christian testimony. Ifyou are holy on Sunday anda holy terror the rest of theweek, this is unacceptable toGod (Rom. 12:1,2).

Since the epistle of our lifeis known and read of allmen (II Cor. 3:2), we want tomake sure we dont givemen a faulty reading ofChrist. All men understandby the stars that God exists,as the stars too are knownand read of all men (Psa.19:1-3). But while all menunderstand by the stars thatGod exists, all men under-stand by us what kind of God

He is. When we live soberly,righteously, and godly (Titus2:12), we prove to otherswhat is acceptable to theLord (Eph. 5:8-10).

ARE yOU A PAULINE EPSITLE?
