• SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) -- A Mitchell man is going to federal prison for more than 24 years for sexually abusing a girl.
• Thirty-year-old Terace Castaway was sentenced in Sioux Falls on Monday after earlier pleading guilty to sexual abuse.
• Prosecutors say it happened between August 2008 and May 2009 and involved a young girl who was under his care. The U.S. Attorney's Office says that while the victim and her cousins were playing a game of hide and seek, Castaway came into the bathroom where she was hiding and sexually assaulted her.
• As part of the plea agreement, Castaway also acknowledged sexually abusing three other young girls on several occasions while they were at their grandmother's home in Lower Brule.

• DENVER (AP) -- Federal authorities are cracking down on the use of exploding targets on U.S. Forest Service land in five states to prevent them from sparking wildfires.
• The order Monday covers forest and grasslands in Colorado, Wyoming, Kansas, Nebraska and South Dakota. Violators could face a fine of up to $5,000 and be sent prison for up to six months.
• Exploding targets can be purchased legally. They're used for shooting practice and explode when hit by a bullet.
• According to the Forest Service, they've caused at least 16 wildfires nationally in the last year. In the five-state region, they're blamed for starting seven since the beginning of 2012. The largest was Springer Gulch near Colorado's Lake George. It cost $2.7 million to fight.
• The Bureau of Land Management is considering a similar ban.
• The Forest Service order issued Monday is temporary, but the agency is working to enact a permanent rule that would ban exploding targets on national forests and grasslands, said Jeff Dorschner, a spokesman for the U.S. attorney's office in Denver.
