Abandoned tank removal program Community wide Easter egg hunt had great weather, large turnout The State of South Dakota wants to remove every abandoned underground storage tank that was used to sore a petroleum prod- uct. You ask, “Why should I consid- er getting my tank removed?” There are two reasons, first, as tanks corrode, petroleum that may still be in them will leak into our ground water, contaminate soil and could cause unhealthy vapors to seep into basements. Second, the longer old tanks remain in the ground, the more corroded they become which increases a risk of the tank collapsing and someone or something falling into the hole. All that is needed of a land owner is their permission. The Department of Environment and Natural Resources will hire pri- vate contractors to remove any remaining product from the tank, remove the tank, and test the soil. The contractor will also remove piping and contaminated back fill around the tank, then fill the hole. The best part is the state pays all the costs associated with removing the tanks and any additional cleanup that may be needed. Information and tank removal forms are available at the Emer- gency Management Office located in the basement of the Courthouse or by calling 605-669-7101 and talking to Angie Kinsley.

Tillage worst thing for SD soils Tillage may be the worst thing right now that could happen for soil in South Dakota fields say con- servation officials. Spring tillage is a tradition that is steeped deeply into American agriculture. Now, more and more producers are real- izing that tillage is not in the best interest of their soil’s health. “Tillage was once considered necessary in order to prepare a proper seed bed for planting. Now, we know that we can produce as much or more grain without tilling the soil,” says Jason Miller, Con- servation Agronomist with the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Pierre, SD. “Tillage passes reduce surface soil moisture, but more alarming is that fact that tillage is incredi- bly destructive to soil; it is like a tornado going through a house,’ says Miller. Tillage collapses and destroys organic matter and soil structure. “Those macro pores in the soil structure are essential–they are what helps water to infiltrate the soil profile,” he says. “The possibility of 2013 being another dry year should have pro- ducers rethinking their use of tillage,” says Miller. In a tilled condition, soil is vulnerable to ero- sion. “As dry as the soil profile is starting out this year, even getting the crop seeded will be difficult without a concern for wind ero- sion,” says Miller. Winds during the spring easily pick up soil parti- cles on tilled fields before crops can become established. “Reducing or eliminating tillage, increases surface residue, builds organic matter and pre- serves soil health,” says Miller. Improved cropping systems for building soil should include no-till, diverse high residue producing crop rotations and cover crops. Producers interested in learn- ing more about soil health or wanting technical assistance for implementing a soil health man- agement system on their farm or ranch should contact their local NRCS office or visit the Soil Health Information Center at www.nrcs.usda.gov. Annual Radiothon features local hero Dacey Bryan No matter the age, cancer is a life-changing disease. But when children are affected by cancer, the experience of growing up is far dif- ferent than healthy kids. That’s why Sanford Children’s Hospital and Results Radio are teaming up once again for the 6th Annual Results Radio Cure Kids Cancer Radiothon presented by Jerry’s Auto Sales. Last year’s event raised almost $300,000 and this year hopes are even higher. Broadcast hosts will introduce listeners to Cure Kids Cancer heroes and their courageous fami- lies, including Dacey Bryan, daughter of Heath and Leronda Bryan of Draper. The event, which aims at help- ing kids fight cancer, is being held April 4-5. During the 24-hour event, hosts from MIX 97.3, KIKN Country 100.5, B102.7, Hot 104.7 as well as KSOO 1140, KXRB 1000 and Easy 100.1, will broadcast live from the Carlson Great Hall at Sanford Children’s Hospital. Tune in to listen April 4-5 from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. as families share personal and heartfelt stories about how their lives have been changed by Sanford Children’s Hospital. The radiothon is also available online on MIX 97.3, KIKN Country 100.5, B102.7 and HOT 104.7. Cure Kids Cancer is a program of Children’s Miracle Network. Sanford Children’s Hospital in Sioux Falls, SD joined the Chil- dren’s Miracle Network team in 1986. As a Children’s Miracle Net- work hospital, Sanford Children’s Hospital in Sioux Falls stands ded- icated to the ideal that every child is unique, every diagnosis is differ- ent and every situation is special. 100 percent of funds raised stay local to help local children. As the area’s only Cure Kids Cancer hospital, Sanford Chil- dren’s Hospital offers the region’s most comprehensive health care services for children. Leading edge technology, specially trained med- ical professionals and a vast array of services help meet the multiple medical needs of our patients and their families. “Period of Purple Crying” to launch child abuse prevention month Attorney General Marty Jack- ley in recognition and support of Child Abuse Prevention Month would like to explain the impor- tance of a new program that is being implemented across the State of South Dakota. The Period of Purple Crying is a new way to help parents understand this time in their baby's life, which is a nor- mal part of every infant's develop- ment. The Period of PURPLE Cry- ing begins at about 2 weeks of age and continues until about 5-6 months of age. There are other common characteristics of this phase, which are better described by the acronym PURPLE. All babies go through this period. It is during this time that some babies can cry a lot and some far less, but they all go through it. “Having a better understanding of this very common growth period for newborn infants will allow us to proactively work towards the prevention of shaken baby syn- drome,” said Jackley. “A program such as this can prevent needless injury and death to the most inno- cent of victims.” The program includes a 10 minute educational video and brochure that is given to all new parents and is required to be viewed prior to hospital discharge. This proactive approach teaches new parents about the normal infant crying and the dangers of shaking an infant.

Full Assuranceby Pastor Cornelius R. Stam

It is wonderful to have the full assurance of salvation, and it is God’s will that every one of us enjoy this assurance. Toward the close of his life theApostle John wrote by divine inspiration:

“These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God, that ye may know that ye have eternal life…” (I John 5:13).

There are three bases upon which believers in Christ may enjoy the full assurance of salvation: First, God urges every true believer: “Let us draw near,with a sincere heart, in full assurance of faith…” (Heb. 10:22). This is the full assurance that results from simply believing God; much as a child implic-itly believes what his father has said and is absolutely sure that it is true. God says: “He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life” (John 3:36). Wemay simply — and with good reason — believe His Word and enjoy the full assurance of faith.

Second, we may enjoy what Heb. 6:11 calls “the full assurance of hope.” The hope of the Bible, however, must not be confused with wishing. TheChristian’s “hope” is “an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast” (Ver. 19). It comes from having proved God. Thus the full assurance of hope is theconfidence that results from having accepted God’s Word.

But third, and best of all, is what Col. 2:2 calls “riches of the full assurance of understanding.” This full assurance is God’s reward to Christians whostudy His Word and His purposes, beginning with His plan of salvation as revealed in “the gospel of the grace of God.” When one not only believes God’sWord, but begins to understand it he cannot but be gripped by its sublime reasonableness, its powerful logic, and its provision for his deepest needs, andthus he comes to enjoy “all [the] riches of the full assurance of understanding.”

Two minutes with the bible

“He descended into hell; the3rd day He rose again from thedead.”

When a general wins a battle,people will often celebrate thevictory with a parade. Band play,people sing and shout for joy tohonor the successful general.

Long ago, the greatest battle ofall was won by our victoriousSavior over satan. When Jesuswas on the cross: He said, “It isfinished”, He meant that He hadpaid in full for all of our sins.Then our victorious Savordescended into hell in the great-est triumphal march of all timeto announce His victory oversatan, the powers of darknessand sin.

Because Jesus is God, He notonly had the power to give Hislife or you and me, but He hadthe power to take it back. Inother words He was also victori-ous over death.

On Good Friday, a rich man bythe name of Joseph went toPilate to get permission to buryJesus in a new tomb. A great

stone was rolled in front of thedoor and later Pilate sent a guardof soldiers to seal the stone and tobe on duty so no one could takethe body of Jesus away.

On the 3rd day, Mary Magda-line and 2 other women went tothe tomb. They wondered howthey were going to roll away thestone, when the women came tothe tomb they saw the stonerolled away. To their surprise,they saw a shining angel in a gar-ment..in dazzling white.

The angel said.” Why do youseek the living among the dead,He is not here, He has risen.”

They believed and went and ranand told the disciples what theyhad scene.

What a joyous celebration.Let us also share this good new

with others....for Jesus is Risen.He is risen indeed! Hallelujah!

Let us pray....” We thank YouLORD, for being our Risen LORDand Savior. Enable us to have thejoyous spirit that the women hadand share this great news as well.Amen.

going to go to town, you might aswell do a bunch of stuff so youdon’t have to return right away.Wife Corinne learned early on inour marriage that my trips totown were apt to involve a wholelot of stops. I might visit the postoffice, bank, hardware store, gro-cery, court house, gas station andseveral other places. I might evendrop off eggs here and there. Tento fifteen stops were not uncom-mon. After awhile, Corinne wouldinquire where all I was planningto go before agreeing to ride along.If the number of stops seemedexcessive in her view, she mightdecide she had too much work todo at home and couldn’t go alongthat day. If she had someone shecould visit in town while I dashedhere and there, that was okay.Otherwise, forget it.

By the way, doing one job rightafter another is just fine with usfellows. What we aren’t too goodat is multitasking. Gals have theedge on us there. They seem ableto keep several plates spinning onsticks at the same time whereaswe guys prefer one at a time. Ieven get a little frustrated when Iprepare some meals. I find it dif-ficult to get the meat, potatoes,vegetable, salad and gravy allready at the same time. Far easi-er are one-pot meals such as whenyou throw a roast in the oven andlater add potatoes and carrots tothe same pan. Even simpler isunwrapping a frozen pizza andsticking it in the oven for a whileor heating a can of soup. Simplic-ity often wins the day.

This week, though, was a tri-umph of scheduling. On Thurs-day, we had to visit the clinic sinceson Chance had a sore on his lipthat needed attention. After that,I suggested we stop by the hair-dresser to see if we could all gethaircuts since Chance and I weregetting pretty shaggy. To mygreat surprise, both gals hap-pened to have openings just thenso Chance and Corinne could gettheir hair clipped at the sametime with mine being done justafter. If we’d come a little earlieror a little later, it wouldn’t haveworked out. We happened to timeit just right, though, so it did. Iwas pleased.

As you might imagine, I’veabout run my course on combiningevents. Luckily, there is nothing

much on the schedule that wouldrequire it. In other words, I haveno plans to kill any birds with anystones. As far as I know, there isactually nothing specific sched-uled for the rest of the yearalthough something will no doubtcome up. I can happily plod frombill paying to accounting to cook-ing to going to church. None ofthis multiple-meeting business ormultitasking. That’s fine withme. That’s actually the way I pre-fer it. There might even beenough time to sit on the deckoccasionally and listen to themeadowlarks sing. They haverecently returned so the time toenjoy them has, of necessity, beenadded to my “busy” schedule.Now might be a good time to go dothat. Catch you later.

I killed three birds with onestone, so to speak, on Friday. Wehad Good-Friday services sched-uled at the church so I calledaround and set it up to have atownship meeting at the churchhall before services and a church-board meeting there afterwards.It worked a treat. We were able toget all three get-togethers done inone trip.

This sort of thing doesn’t happenvery often it seems. Lives tend tobe busy, and getting five or sixpeople to agree on a time andplace for a meeting may takeawhile. As a result, it’s a nice sur-prise when everyone can come atthe same time. It just happenedto work out on Friday becausethose needed for the meetingswere coming to Good-Friday serv-ices anyway. Coming a little earli-er or leaving a little later didn’tmake much difference.

When mileage and time are aconcern in this far-flung areawhere going to town involves atleast a half hour both going andcoming, combining tasks justseems a sensible idea. In otherwords, I saved two hours of travel-ing time alone on Friday by sched-uling three meetings on the sameday. Then too, besides the expen-ditures of travel time and gasmoney, it interrupts a day to putdown your tools and run off totown. Sometimes it’s hard to getmuch else done on those days.

Similar organizational highjinks have been going on all mylife, it seems, just because we liveso far out in the sticks. If you’re

BUDGET SEQUESTER

The U.S. Government will trimpayments to 350,000 farmers byabout $152 million to comply withautomatic spending cuts that tookeffect at the start of this month,Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsacksaid on Tuesday. Vilsack said themoney would come out of the $5billion-a-year direct-payment sub-sidy, which is paid in the fall, tooffset reductions due in threeUSDA programs that have alreadydisbursed money to farmers. Dur-ing a speech to trade group offi-cials, Vilsack said comparativelysmall amounts are due for eachfarmer, so it would be more effi-cient to pro-rate the direct-pay-

Early Season Wheat DiseaseUpdate

While winter wheat producersare anxiously waiting for warmertemperatures to see if there is achance of a crop, and spring wheatproducers are waiting for theopportunity to plant, there arereports of rust development in sev-eral southern states in wheatfields and nurseries. Leaf andstripe rust have already beenfound in Texas, even earlier than2012, which was much earlierthan normal. Stripe rust has alsobeen observed in Mississippi,Arkansas and Louisiana. Striperust was seen in Arkansas back inthe beginning of December, whichmay be the earliest it has everbeen seen it there.

South Dakota producers willneed to watch the progression upfrom Texas this year because itcould be a concern if the conditionsare right. Reports of stripe rustand leaf rust from Texas areimportant, because weather sys-tems often transport the rustspores from these regions intoOklahoma, Kansas and on upthrough Nebraska to South Dako-ta. If stripe and/or leaf rust contin-ues to develop in the southernstates, producers may need toevaluate the feasibility of fungi-cide applications on susceptiblevarieties.

SDSU Extension Plant Patholo-gy Specialists and Field Special-ists strive to keep producersinformed, but growers can alsomonitor the situation on theUSDA Cereal Rust Laboratorywebsite: http://www.ars.usda.gov/Main/docs.htm?docid=9757.

On that website, visitors canaccess the current rust situation,2013 and past years’ cereal rustbulletins, rust observation maps,

and a wealth of information oncereal diseases. University andprivate individuals can also sub-mit rust and other cereal diseaseobservations for their area to con-tribute to the reports.

New Fusarium Head BlightPrediction Center

he Fusarium Head Blight Pre-diction Center has beenredesigned and the new version isnow active. The growth stage inwhich wheat is vulnerable toFusarium Head Blight (FHB orscab) is certainly a ways off forSouth Dakota, but it’s good to beaware of the tool, which can beaccessed at: http://www.wheatscab.psu.edu/.

The website offers risk assess-ment for roughly the eastern halfof the United States. Visitors canchoose a state to zoom in on theirarea, choose the model of eitherspring or winter wheat, the sus-ceptibility of the variety and seean overview of the risk of scab fortheir location.

The map is populated with bothFAA and AgNet weather stations,which can be clicked for up-to-dateinformation at the site. Moredetailed information can beaccessed by clicking “Query”, andthen the weather station of yourchoice. Scab risk and probability,temperature, precipitation andhumidity are shown for the previ-ous week at that site.

The Clinical View• Dr. P.E. Hoffsten •

The Story of Pat

Pat was a 38-year-old secretarydivorced from an abusive relation-ship 15 years earlier. In her lateteens and early 20’s, she was “aparty girl.” She enjoyed the cama-raderie of talking to friends andcould “drink with the best ofthem.” She was very responsible inher job as a secretary and did notmiss time from work. She man-aged two teenagers in high schooland at age 38 seemed a veryresponsible citizen.

But following her marriage andsubsequent divorce, she became a“closet alcoholic.” She would haveone drink when she got home,another with supper, and thenthree to five more through theevening. She very much enjoyedFriday nights when friends wouldcelebrate another week gone by atone of the local pubs. The friendswould begin to gather around 6p.m. and the party often lasteduntil 9 p.m. or 10 p.m. Pat neverseemed to be intoxicated nor didher behavior ever become an issue.

But there were some naggingsigns that alcohol was becomingan issue. Some days she just did-n’t seem to be as “put together”and might forget various responsi-bilities. She had a relationshipwith a special male friend. Onseveral occasions, she had calledhim late in the evening, verymorose and belittling him because

he would not leave his wife andmarry Pat. The following morn-ing, he took her aside to discussthe phone call. She had no memo-ry of ever making that call, had nomemory of its content, and didn’tknow what he was talking about.

One Friday night, the groupgathered at the usual pub andthere were several rounds ofdrinks. Someone made a sugges-tion that they proceed to a new barto check it out. So they all left andwent to the new bar. Pat and sev-eral of the party goers remained inthe new bar until about 10 p.m.when the party broke up. Shewent to drive her car home appar-ently sober but she couldn’t findher car. There was a parking lotquite full and various cars parkedin the street. After wandering fora brief period of time, she calledthe police to report her car stolen.Officers came to assist her andfound her car parked about a blockand a half away. The new bar wasquite popular with inadequatelocal parking. One of the officerswho came to her assistance wassuspicious that the patient wasnot fit to drive even though shepassed a breath test. He cited herfor false reporting of a stolen vehi-cle. After a lengthy proceeding,the judge and prosecuting attor-ney concluded that Pat was alco-holic who was having “alcoholicblackouts.” She was given thechoice of a handsome fine and jail

time for the reporting of a falsestolen vehicle or proceeding toalcohol treatment, which shechose.

Recently, I had a patient verysimilar to Pat who wanted to knowwhat an “alcoholic blackout” was.An alcohol counselor had told thepatient that he was having alco-holic blackouts and therefore hadadvanced alcohol-related braindamage. As you might imagine,the patient was shocked. Iexplained that there were thou-sands of college students who goout and drink excessively onenight and the next morning don’tremember a thing about what theydid last night. This is the result ofacute alcohol excess. These arenot the alcoholic blackouts we aretalking about. Instead, an alco-holic blackout is something thatoccurs after significant brain dam-age has been done through manyyears of drinking excessively. Theclassical scenario is the alcoholicfunctioning normally during theday, proceeding home, having twoto three to four drinks, and thennot being really intoxicated orincapacitated. And yet because ofthe brain damage from long-termalcohol intake, they do not remem-ber what occurs after they havehad a very modest alcohol intakeand their behavior is not like beingdrunk. They can play cards, carryon a conversation, go dancing andnot remember a particle of it the

next morning. This is because ofshort term memory impairment.In Pat’s case, she would makephone calls and have no memory ofhaving made them the next day.

On the occasion of her reportinga false stolen vehicle, she had beenat the first bar where she hadthree to four drinks, therebyimpairing her short term memory.She then, with only a modestamount of alcohol in her blood,drove her car to the next bar butthen had no memory of where sheparked her car. By 10 p.m., whenshe was somewhat less intoxicatedand getting ready to go home, shedidn’t know where her car was.That is an alcoholic blackout and asign of advanced alcohol- relatedproblem.

The New England Journal ofMedicine had a review of alco-holism in January 2013. Theyremarked that there are 79,000deaths per year related to alcoholabuse. At least 25,000 of thesedeaths are related to moving vehi-cle accidents occurring while thedriver is intoxicated. Another18,000 are suicides. As anyonewho has had experience with analcoholic knows, the alcoholic isdisinclined to acknowledge theproblem and often unwilling toaccept help. Fortunately, in Pat’scase the judge made her an offershe couldn’t refuse. Not every per-son with an alcohol problem is solucky.
