SD bible ranch loses 90 horses in autumn blizzard
• RAPID CITY, S.D. (AP) -- A bible ranch north of Rapid City has lost dozens of horses in an early autumn blizzard that buried western South Dakota in snow two weeks ago.
• The Meade County Times reports (http://bit.ly/1a4fHf0 ) that the Reinhold family lost 90 horses, 25 of which were the cornerstone of the herd used for children to ride during summer camps.
• "We're praying that God will provide the finances and people to help us replace these horses," said Larry Reinhold, owner and manager of the Rainbow Bible Ranch and the Lonetree Ranch.
• Reinhold said the family heeded the warnings about the approaching blizzard and moved the horses to sheltered areas.
• "Normally, they've always been OK in the breaks," he said.
• Reinhold's 19-year-old daughter, Rachel, was among those who found the dead horses following the storm.
• "It was pretty rough to look at," she said. "You know each one of them by name."
• The family said donations have been coming in to help replace the herd.

Gov. Daugaard: Storm damage assessments slated
• SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) -- Gov. Dennis Daugaard says damage assessments will begin next week for counties and tribal land impacted from an early October storm that dumped 4 feet or more of snow in some areas.
• Daugaard says the assessment by state, local and federal officials will begin on Oct. 28. The assessment will cover 15 storm-impacted counties and Oglala Sioux Tribe and Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe reservations.
• The governor uses the results of the assessments to determine whether a request for a presidential disaster declaration is warranted.
• The storm knocked out power to about 30,000 people, closed roads and killed tens of thousands of cattle.
