West Nile scarce in S.D.

SIOUX FALLS — There’s plenty of water and plenty of mosquitoes, but surprisingly low evidence of the West Nile virus in South Dakota, apparently because the sometimes-deadly disease didn’t get a foothold in the bird population this summer.

Just ask Harry Knecht, who lives along Lake Mitchell at 128 S. Harmon Drive.
