CHESTER, S.D. (AP) The phrase “caught in a rut” has a unique meaning for a Chester farmer whose life was radically changed last July. Normally, it means someone is stuck in a boring lifestyle.
Justin Minnaert, a champion in dirt bike racing, was always a bit of a daredevil. The rut that caught him and slammed him to the ground was a rain rut at a local track.
He and his dad were checking the track following a race at a local club. He took a jump he’d made 100 times before, but that time, he hit the rut, went down and the bike hit his back.

MADISON, S.D. (AP) Prostrollo’s All-American Auto Mall in Madison has one car on the showroom floor. In the sales lot, vehicles are parallel parked along the perimeter.
Nick Prostrollo, whose family has been selling cars for three generations, just laughs at the way the COVID-19 pandemic has turned the industry upside down. In the past, car manufacturers were pushing dealers to increase their inventory. Now, dealers can’t get what they need to fill their lots.
“We’re down probably 175 vehicles. That’s a lot of inventory,” Prostrollo said.
