––––––––––––GGoooodd NNeewwss ffoorr EEtthhaannooll

by Governor Kristi Noem For years, I’ve been working toadvance ethanol to benefit SouthDakota farmers. Our state rankssixth in the nation for ethanolproduction capacity, and we pro-duce more than 1 billion gallonsof ethanol annually. Not onlydoes biofuel production help ourfarmers, but it also supports ad-ditional job creation in SouthDakota. We have ethanol jobsranging from truck drivers toPhD microbiologists. I have sev-eral pieces of good news to shareregarding progress we’ve madeon ethanol. The EPA recently reiteratedits commitment to the Renew-able Fuel Standard (RFS.) TheRFS is crucial to ensure thatthere is a market for our farm-ers to sell their corn for ethanolproduction. President Trumpalso recently announced thatE15 blends will be more widelyavailable across the country.These are but the latest bits ofprogress for our crucial ethanolindustry.

As Chair of the Governor’sBiofuels Coalition, I’ve urged theTrump administration to droprestrictions on the ethanol in-dustry, and we’ve already madeprogress on these goals. TheTrump administration approvedthe use of E15 year-round. Wealso persuaded President Trumpto reject a movement that wouldhave waived portions of the RFSfor small petroleum refineries.It’s been tough work, but it’sworth it to help South Dakotafarmers.We’ve been working diligentlyto convert our state’s fleet vehi-cles to be flex-fuel compatible,and 76% of our fleet now hassuch capabilities. We’re alreadydispensing E30 ethanol for statevehicles at sites in Sioux Falls,Pierre, and the SDSU campus.By the end of November, we’llhave added sites in Aberdeen,Chamberlain, Yankton, Huron,and Webster, with four addi-tional sites across the state inthe works for next year. Stategovernment is leading by exam-ple, and it is my sincere hopethat South Dakota’s businessesand citizens emulate this sup-port for our ethanol industry.As COVID-19 swept across thecountry, I issued an executiveorder to provide regulatory relieffor ethanol facilities, and I in-structed our state department ofEnvironment and Natural Re-sources to help ethanol produc-ers adjust their operations whilestill meeting federal require-ments. I also joined fellow gov-ernors to ask United StatesSecretary of Agriculture SonnyPerdue to use CARES Act dol-lars to assist our biofuel indus-

try. Secretary Perdue has takenthat message to heart, pushingCongress to provide funding forethanol in future relief pack-ages. The Obama administrationpaid lip service to ethanol, butPresident Trump is actually fol-lowing through on his promisesto farmers. His administration istaking the necessary steps topromote biofuels and expandethanol production. Frankly, ittakes leadership from the top,and I want to thank PresidentTrump for continuing to fight foragriculture. There is still morework to accomplish, but I’m con-fident that we can build on theprogress that we’ve alreadymade and get it done.

ally Saturday, October 3, 2020.This conference will be pre-sented via Zoom conferencing. In today's world, we often

think of kindness as somethingthat flows from our surplus: ourextra time, extra energy, or extraresources, leaving us to ask,“How can I possibly give to oth-ers when I don’t have enough formyself?” We invite you to join usvirtually to learn and share to-gether as we navigate and con-tinue to share kindness in aworld of uncertainty. We can alldo acts of kindness, but it’s notuntil we are being vessels ofkindness in our thoughts, wordsand deeds that we see radical lifechanges. Through Nicole's vir-tual presentation, she exploresthe chain reaction that happenswithin our bodies when we leadwith kindness and in turn howwe can feel hopeful that there isindeed much each of us can do tocreate light in a dark worldwhile inspiring kindness and

hope in others.Nicole will inspire you to live

a more meaningful and produc-tive life, showing why kindnessreally does matter. Her captivat-ing authenticity will challengeyou to change the way you liveand think, because the life youtransform with kindness is yourown, and kindness IS conta-

gious! The cost for this virtual event

South Dakota veterans andthe Hot Springs community arecurrently celebrating the VA’sannouncement that it has begunthe process of rescinding theorder to close the Hot Springs VAfacility. This was a hard-foughtvictory in a battle that weweren’t always sure we wouldwin. It started almost a decadeago, in 2011, when the Obamaadministration announced plansto realign – read, close – the HotSprings VA facility. I was wellaware of what the Hot Springsfacility means to South Dakotaveterans and to the entire HotSprings community, and I deter-mined that there wasn’t going tobe a closure if I could help it.I knew that closing the Hot

Springs facility would put acces-sible care out of the reach of a lotof rural and tribal veterans. Notonly rural and tribal SouthDakota veterans, but rural andtribal veterans from neighboringWyoming and Nebraska who de-pend on the Hot Springs facilityfor care. Traveling to Rapid Cityfor care, as the VA proposed,would be a real hardship, if notan impossibility, for many ofthese veterans.I also strongly disagreed with

moving not only medical care butthe vital post-traumatic stress

disorder program from HotSprings to Rapid City. Not onlywould this put this program outof the reach of some veterans, Ibelieved it was also a mistake toremove a tremendously effectiveprogram from the place where ithas been so successful and try toreconstitute it elsewhere. So Igot to work in Congress, alongwith other members of the SouthDakota delegation.My first priority was simply

trying to get Hot Springs’ veter-ans a hearing with the VA. In2016, after years of trying, wepersuaded then-VA secretaryBob McDonald to visit HotSprings. Unfortunately, the visitdidn’t work, and the next yearthe secretary signed an order fi-nalizing the decision to close themajority of the facility, but thebattle wasn’t over.In 2014, I had succeeded in at-

taching a measure to appropria-tions legislation prohibiting theclosure of the Hot Springs facil-ity until a national VA realign-ment strategy was introduced.Each year I’ve managed to renewthat measure, and in March ofthis year, we got another chanceto persuade the VA. After Ilearned that VA SecretaryRobert Wilkie would be visitingHot Springs in March, I organ-ized a letter with the rest of theSouth Dakota delegationstrongly urging the secretary tomake time to sit down with HotSprings veterans and otherstakeholders and listen to theirconcerns about the planned clo-sure.To our great gratitude, the sec-

retary agreed, and days aftermeeting with the veterans, thesecretary announced that the VAwould be rescinding its decisionand that Hot Springs would re-main open. That meeting wasthe key.I worked hard in Congress –

along with other members of theSouth Dakota delegation – tokeep the Hot Springs facilityopen, but the battle would neverhave succeeded without the pas-sion of Hot Springs veterans andthe Hot Springs community,which rallied in support of thefacility. Meeting with these vet-erans and other stakeholdersand hearing their thoughts andstories played a major role in

Secretary Wilkie’s decision.2020 has been a tough year.

But even in tough times, goodthings happen. The VA’s an-nouncement that it has begunthe process of rescinding itsorder to close the Hot Springs fa-cility has given a lot of us reasonfor gratitude. I’m thankful toSecretary Wilkie for taking areal look at South Dakota veter-ans’ concerns and reversing theVA’s decision to close the facility.I look forward to celebratingwith South Dakota veterans thenext time I’m in Hot Springs – oras a lot of us know it, the Veter-ans’ Town.

BBaacckkiinngg tthhee BBlluueeby U.S. Sen. Mike RoundsJacob Chestnut. John Gibson.

They’re not household names in-stantly recognizable. They weresons, husbands and fathers.They were two regular people,just like the rest of us, exceptthey possessed a little bit morecourage. Their stories weren’tknown until July 24, 1998. Onthat fateful day, a lone gunmanwalked into the U.S. Capitol inWashington, D.C. He shot andkilled the first person he en-countered, Officer Chestnut, op-erating the X-Ray machine at anentrance. Quickly, the gunmanthen found Detective Gibson whoheard the previous gunshots andwas helping others find safety.Even after being mortallywounded, Detective Gibson wasstill able to return fire andwound the gunman just enoughto stop him from inflicting anymore harm.Our nation mourned this

senseless loss of life. Congresssaluted these two officers bymaking them the first people toever ‘lie in honor’ in our nation’sCapitol. Prior to this, Presidentsand Members of Congress wererecognized after death by ‘lyingin state’ at the Capitol Rotunda.This new distinction, lying inhonor, bestowed upon the offi-cers has only since been grantedto Rosa Parks and the Rev. BillyGraham. The officers wereburied in Arlington NationalCemetery. Our country honoredthese two fallen officers and re-membered them exactly as theywere: heroes who risked theirlives to protect others.Right now, there’s a growing

hostility toward law enforcementin this country. This past week,we watched videos showing twoofficers sitting parked in theirsquad car being ambushed atpointblank range in California.The hatred needs to stop. It’ssimply un-American.This aggression was seeded in

the Defund the Police move-ment. Following the death ofGeorge Floyd, riots broke out inMinneapolis. Peaceful well-meaning protests turned violentand chaos has spread across thecountry from Kenosha to Port-land. Law-abiding citizens feelunsafe and are fleeing to newcommunities and states that un-derstand the link between lib-erty and security.It goes without saying that

here in South Dakota, we’ve gotit pretty good. We are patriotswho love our country and wantto see it succeed. And we don’tunderstand how local leaderscould stand by and watch theircommunities burn.Our law enforcement commu-

nity is not perfect. Like all pro-fessions, we’ve witnessedexamples of bad apples in policedepartments. But let’s be clear,those bad apples have notspoiled the entire bunch. Policeforces in South Dakota andacross our country are filled withbrave men and women who puttheir lives on the line, day in andday out, to make sure our com-munities stay safe. Police officersare public servants. Police offi-cers are not public enemies; theyfight the enemies.That’s why, in June, when

many spewed hatred toward our

law enforcement community,Senate Republicans joined to-gether and proposed common-sense legislation, called theJustice Act, which made signifi-cant, meaningful reforms to po-lice departments. Unfortunately,National Democrats saw thechaos unfolding in our countryas a winning issue heading intothe November election, suggest-ing that our proposal did not gofar enough to penalize police of-ficers. They put partisan politicsahead of protecting people andblocked our bill from moving for-ward.While our efforts may have

stalled, there’s still significantwork to be done. This week, inlight of the recent surge of at-tacks on officers, my colleaguesand I introduced legislationmaking it a federal crime toknowingly cause, or attempt tocause, serious bodily injury to alaw enforcement officer. If con-victed, the criminals could faceup to 10 years imprisonment, ora life sentence if the offense in-cludes attempted murder, kid-napping, attempted kidnappingor if a death results. Last week,we also sent a letter to AttorneyGeneral Barr asking him to con-sider whether the Department ofJustice needs additional author-ities, resources or tools to protectour officers. If so, we stand readyand willing to assist.Having a legitimate discussion

about improving policing policiesis one thing. Attempting to de-fund the police is entirely differ-ent. Defunding the police canonly lead to one thing and that’sanarchy - just look at Portland,Kenosha or Minneapolis. Thesecities should learn a lesson fromSouth Dakota and back the blue.

BBaacckk ttoo SScchhoooollAs the Executive Director of

the School Administrators ofSouth Dakota, I am connectedwith every public-school districtin South Dakota as well as ahandful of private schools. I amhere to tell you that they are alldoing the absolute best they canto keep the students and staffmembers safe in their schools.I can also tell you they are

stressing on many levels.The superintendents, and in

some cases the principals, are

the ones who are helping to trackdown the close-contact tracingwhen a positive case gets re-ported to them. They are makingthese calls to parents andguardians during the school day,in the evenings, and in a lot of in-stances on the weekends. Theyare in contact with the Depart-ment of Health as soon as theyget notice of a case that isbrought to their attention.Do you all remember 5 or 6

months ago when as parentsyou, or we, were all wantingnothing more than for our stu-dents to be back in school? Wewanted things to be back to nor-mal. Well, here we are. I will tellyou that your school board, ad-ministrators, teachers and sup-port staff are doing everythingthey can to do just that.I have done a few media inter-

views and the analogy I haveused is that we needed to get thisairplane into the air. Once wehad it there, we knew we wouldneed to fix the engine, repair awing, but at least we were flying.Your school is trying to do every-thing they can to keep the air-plane in the air at whatever“level” they can. (masks, in-per-son, masks in passing, hybridwith some online and some inperson, etcetera.)I am not making this political,

so please do not attack the guywho is hearing from the peopleworking in these schools. Ifwearing a mask for the day, orpart of the day will help to keepthe airplane in the air, isn’t itworth a try? If taking a“breather” for a day helps theschool to come back full time ina day or two or next week, isn’tit worth a try?Keeping the teachers and sup-

port staff healthy and in theschools is paramount right now. Ihad a conversation earlier thisweek with a superintendentfrom one of the AA schools whotold me they were 9 subs short inthe high school on Monday and 5short in the elementary. I askedhow they were able to haveschool with that many vacan-cies? I was told that the teacherscovered for each other that dayand they got through the day,but that could not be sustainedfor very long. This is the realitymany can and will be facing andthe reason we need to do all wecan to keep everyone safe. It isgoing to be the teachers and sup-port staff shortages that will

eventually force the change indelivery. I am sure many of youhave heard of the adjustmentsthat have had to be made inLemmon, Burke, Selby, Pierre,and various other schools due toteachers becoming a positivecase and the district not havingenough substitutes. In somecases, it is to just let things settledown a little to get on top of it.Again, this is not a political

post, this is a plea.No one, and I mean NO ONE

wants to stay in school morethan the educators! This is whatwe do. We missed the students,we missed the energy, we missedactivities, we missed doing OURJOBS in front of students! We allwant to keep them IN THESCHOOLS!The alternative is one that no

one wants to think about. Justthink back to Friday March 13,2020. That is the day we went toonline learning at home. Let usdo all we can TOGETHER so wedo not have to go back to March13.If you get a chance, just throw

a "Thank You" to an educator inpassing, they will appreciate it.

TTeeaacchhiinngg TTooddaayyby Rep. Dusty Johnson

Over the last week, manyschools across South Dakota re-sumed classes – both in-personand online. This marks the be-ginning of a sense of normalcymany of our kids are experienc-ing for the first time in severalmonths. Although there’s nothing nor-

mal about wearing masks or at-tending classes virtually, this isour reality for the time beingand thankfully our studentsand teachers are making thebest of it. Our kids are justthankful to see their friends andteachers. Leading up to the start of the

school year, I made it a point tovisit several schools across thestate of South Dakota. As amember of the House Educationand Labor Committee, hearingfrom our teachers firsthand al-lows me to better do my job andbring back a “boots on theground” perspective to my Con-gressional colleagues. Last week, I visited Meadow-

brook Elementary in RapidCity. Rapid City schools arekicking off the year with aunique in-person paired withvirtual learning approach. Thispandemic has forced everyoneto become more innovative andcollaborative – Meadowbrook’steachers are no exception. Theteachers there are teaming upto prepare lesson plans andshare recorded materials, eachis focused on a different subjectto share the workload and en-sure students aren’t receivingrepeat lessons. Regardless ofhow one feels about decisionsbeing made by individual schoolboards and administrators, it isclear that South Dakota isblessed with hard-working anddedicated teachers who are try-ing to make the best of a diffi-cult situation.I’m encouraged that schools

in South Dakota are taking thenecessary steps to protect ourkids and our teachers. Butthere’s more to be done. As Con-gress continues to debate an ad-ditional COVID-19 reliefpackage specifically for ourschools, I’ve been hearing fromteachers in South Dakota thatare buying their own personalprotective equipment (PPE). Under normal circumstances,

teachers often cover some class-room costs out of pocket. Add apandemic into the mix andthere’s bound to be additionalcosts for our educators. Cur-rently, teachers can deduct upto $250 of supplementary class-room materials and equipmenton their tax filing. PPE costs arenot listed as eligible for this de-duction. Which is why thisweek, Senator Tillis and I urgedSecretary Mnuchin to allowpurchases made for COVID-19prevention be a deductible ex-pense. I’m confident this easyfix can be made for our teach-ers. I’m headed to Brookings to

tour SDSU and also up to Wa-tertown to visit with Lake AreaTech on Friday. I’ll continue tobring South Dakota’s messageof personal responsibility andunique innovation back toWashington.

DDSSSS llooookkss ttoo ‘‘cchhaannggeemmiinnddss’’ oonn yyoouutthh ssuuiicciiddee Change my mind” is the main

message behind the youth sui-cide prevention campaign re-cently kicked off throughBeThe1SD, a joint effort betweenthe South Dakota Department ofSocial Services (DSS) and De-partment of Health (DOH). “One small effort can help

change the mind of someone con-sidering suicide,” said DSS Cab-inet Secretary Laurie Gill.“While South Dakota has beenpushing hard on youth suicideprevention for a number ofyears, we have to take a boldtone because the stakes are justtoo high. South Dakota’s kids aretoo important to let suicides con-tinue unchecked.”The 2019 South Dakota Youth

Risk Behavior Survey showsnearly one in four South Dakotahigh school students seriouslyconsidered suicide while 12.3percent actually attempted sui-cide. In response, BeThe1SD hasstepped up to curb those num-bers. The BeThe1SD campaign en-

courages youth to learn moreabout what they can do to helpchange someone’s mind whenthey are considering suicide. Byproviding resources, studentsand young adults can be pre-pared if they or someone theyknow is ever confronted withthoughts of suicide.In 2018, according to DOH,

suicide was the second leadingcause of death for SouthDakotans ages 10-39 years old.“That’s why this campaign is soimportant,” said DOH CabinetSecretary Kim Malsam-Rysdon.“It truly can save lives.”The BeThe1SD campaign

specifically targets SouthDakota youth and young adults,ages 10 to 24. It has been set torun during the fall in order toreach students who may strugglewith returning to school. Theheaviest promotion will happenin September, which is NationalSuicide Prevention AwarenessMonth. “We continue working vigor-

ously using a multi-pronged ap-proach to suicide prevention andsaving lives,” said Gill. “This

campaign is one part of our on-going effort. And we hope thatmany South Dakotans will bethe one that steps up to helpfriends, family, and neighbors, ifthey see the warning signs. Oneperson really can make a differ-ence.” The main campaign efforts in-

clude television, radio, outdoor,social media, and online adver-tisements.Visit BeThe1SD.com to learn

North Border Friday in theirhomecoming matchup 42-20,dropping their record to 2-3 onthe season. Faulkton will have abye this week and then play Ip-swich/Edmunds Central on Oc-tober 2nd.We didn’t start out real well.

They were up 36-6 at the half.We got the ball to start the 2ndhalf and scored on our first playfrom scrimmage. We then recov-ered an onside kick and put an-other drive together to score tocut it to 36-20. We were able tostop them on the next drive andhad a chance to score again, butcame up short on 4th down fromreaching the end zone. We werevery happy with how we cameout the 2nd half and took controlof the momentum and madesome plays. We could of shut itdown in the 2nd half, but ourguys kept competing and we gotback in the game. We were veryproud of the effort they playedwith to finish the game.Offensively we put up a lot of

good numbers on the ground andthrough the air We had a 200yard rusher and a 100 yard re-ceiver. Early in the game wecouldn’t sustain a drive. Theyplayed good defense in the firsthalf. In the 2nd half we gotthings rolling. We need to bemore consistent on 1st and 2nddown. We put ourselves in some3rd and longs and they are toughto convert. It was nice to be ableto hit some big plays in the 2ndhalf. We need to be more consis-tent during the game.Defensively we struggled to

stop the top offensive player inthe conference. Their QB is agreat runner. He isn’t big, but isvery elusive. In the first half westruggled to tackle him. In the2nd half we kept him in check.We struggled to tackle in spaceearly on, but did get better as thegame went on. To only give upone score the 2nd half at the endof the game is pretty good. Wenow have to put a whole gametogether. We also have to createsome turnovers.Special teams started out

shaky, but got better as the gamewent on. We were able to get anonside kick, and also did a goodjob of catching the punt whenthey punted.We have a bye this week,

which means we will have timehealing up some injuries andalso working on a few things.

Enrollment Students. Chair-man Weyand stated after the openenrollment busing request wasmade, the transportation commit-tee met with the bus drivers andK&D Busing to review the currentbus routes as well as adding a 5thbus route. Weyand also said thefull board met again to review themap and bus routes and again dis-cuss adding a 5th route. Weyandexplained that the current routesare very long already and theboard agreed that adding open en-rollment students to the routeswould make them too long.Weyand informed everyone that itaffects way more families than justthe family/families that made the

request. Weyand stated the boarddiscussed adding a 5th bus routesbut realized that would not cutany time off because the routeswould overlap. The board decidednot to change the practice and re-quire open enrollment students tocontinue to meet the bus at a loca-tion already on the route. Sheldonand Brandi Holt were present andstated they are not asking for thebus to go out of the district, butonly to go to the district line whichis the end of their driveway. Thecurrent bus route does not travelthat far. Weyand said he wanted toremain fair to everyone and thiswould also affect other familiesand add a significant amount ofmiles to the routes, causing stu-dents to ride the bus longer. Shel-don Holt said that the district lineis the end of his driveway, which istheir mailing address. He saidthey pay taxes to the district onthe land at the end of their drive-way which is the farms hay yard.He stated he thought the boardshould embrace the size of our dis-trict, the increasing enrollmentnumbers, and the open enrollmentstudents that want to go to ourschool, and provide busing for saidstudents. The board all agreedthey don’t want to turn anyoneaway. The board stated they wantto find a solution to be able to pro-vide busing to open enrollmentstudents, but they are not com-fortable making any changes rightnow when the budget is set. Boardmembers agreed to continue towork on a solution after looking atthe current bus route logs.2020-21.41. Budget Discus-

sion. Business Official Hushkastated nothing has changed sincethe budget hearing on July 13th,2020. Motion was made by Nelson,

Plan. Mr. Lepke told the boardthat the return to school plan wasadopted at the August meeting.Mr. Lepke explained that therehave been a couple COVID-19 in-stances but nothing we couldn’thandle. Mr. Lepke stated he relieson the Dept. of Health and theirrepresentative Michelle Hasel-horst when COVID-19 issuesarise. Mr. Lepke stated he has nowreceived notification from the SDDept. of Health that they aretransferring the authority toschool districts regarding who isrequired to quarantine because ofbeing a close contact. Mr. Lepke isrecommending the school districtcontinue to follow the recommen-dations of the SD Dept. of Healthand require all close contractsquarantine for 14 days. Mr. Lepkesaid the school attorney has in-formed him that the school board,and its members individually,could be liable for not following theSD Dept. of Health’s recommenda-tions. Michelle Haselhorst ex-plained the process fordetermining who is a close contactand who isn’t. Kelly Baloun, whowas present on behalf of theFaulkton Area Medical Center,said they highly recommend theschool district follow the recom-mendations of the SD Dept. ofHealth.

by Rep. Dusty JohnsonCongress passed the last

COVID-19 relief bill 174 days ago.Hundreds of thousands of Ameri-cans – schools, families, and smallbusinesses – are still strugglingfrom this virus. Both the Houseand the Senate have proposedvastly different proposals to helpthese hurting Americans. TheHouse passed a bill with a $3Tprice tag – that’s too much spend-ing so I voted no. The Senate hasoffered several packages with alower price tag, but Senate De-mocrats have offered no support.We need to find common ground. Because of that, a few weeks

ago the White House reached outto a few U.S. House members,asking that they develop a bipar-tisan proposal that could breakthe stalemate. I was honored tobe one of the four members lead-ing that project. Our group, two Republicans

and two Democrats, put asidebrinksmanship and politicalgames. Once we focused on whatwas good for the country, it didn’ttake us long to find commonground. This is how Congress issupposed to work.Our proposal, the “March to

Common Ground,” made a lot ofheadway this week. The TrumpAdministration said the frame-work is something they can workfrom to get to a deal, it was en-dorsed by the Washington Postand the New York Times, and sev-eral Senators and Representa-tives on both sides of the aislehave agreed – this proposal is agood compromise. The framework addresses key

areas of need, including testing,direct stimulus payments to fam-ilies, small business support, lia-bility protection, food security,election support, state and localaid, and school funding.The March to Common Ground

spends less than half what theSpeaker wants to spend, but it’sstill a lot of money. I am very con-sciously concerned about our na-

tion’s debt. Our country’s topeconomists all agree our countryneeds an additional stimuluspackage to dig our way out of thisCOVID-19 economic slump.Like many Americans, I’ve been

frustrated with the lack ofprogress we are seeing from Con-gress. The leaders of both cham-bers have been at this for a longtime – I know they can get some-thing done for the American peo-ple. I’m proud of the work a few

new, but bipartisan, members ofCongress were able to get doneover the last several weeks. Thisproposal is gaining traction andbringing people back to the table.Americans can’t afford to wait

any longer. Please read the Marchto Common Ground proposal here<https://problemsolverscaucus-gottheimer.house.gov/media/press-releases/problem-solvers-caucus-unveil-march-common-ground-covid-stimulus-framework> . Rep. Dusty Johnson speaks at

are vulnerable to: Orient has sim-ilar hazards as the rest of FaulkCounty. Flooding is the main con-cern. High water tables created alake outside of town. Sump pumpsrun continuously just to keep upwith the amount of water thatseeps in. There is flooding instreets which flows into doors andbuildings. One resident went so faras to build his own berm to protecthis home. The town has gone so faras to bring in their own 30-40loads of gravel to build up roadsand protect their town. They arealso considering upsizing their cul-verts to accommodate the amountof water and allow for drainage.Winds are also common in Ori-

ent. Orient has suffered grain binlosses due to straight line windsblowing and damaging the build-ings. Although tornados have notstruck the town, along with therest of Faulk County communities,tornados are always a concern.Orient is also at higher risk offlooding than other jurisdictionsdue to the lake on the west side oftown. Like other small towns, therural nature of Orient puts its res-idents at higher risk. During se-vere weather such as blizzards orother winter storms, residents whoneed urgent medical care may notbe able to make it to the nearest

hospital for urgent or emergencycare.
