LEDs In Your Car Not A Significant Battery Drain

BY RAY MAGLIOZZIKing Features Syndicate, Inc.

Dear Car Talk:With all these things we are plugging

into our lighter sockets these days -- phone charger, GPS, radar detector, you name it -- we end up with these lighter-socket plugs sitting there all the time with glowing LEDs on them. My ques-tion is: Do these LEDs draw enough current to pose a threat to my battery’s life? Should I be pulling them out every time I leave the car overnight? I do that now, but it is a pain for sure. What do you think?

-— AlanWell, a lot of cars will cut off power

to the power ports (what we used to call “cigarette lighters”) when you turn the car off. So it’s not an issue for most people.

If your car is one of those that con-tinues to power the outlet even when the car is off (so the green LED light stays on), then yes, you are using bat-tery power overnight to light that LED.

Fortunately, it takes so little current to light that LED that your battery will

power it for ... let me do the math ... between 2,500 and 2,700 years before it’s unable to start the car -- an LED that size takes an infinitesimal amount of power. The digital clock in your car takes more power.

Of course, if you leave your car sitting for a month, it’s likely that the

battery will get drawn down. But that won’t be from the LED lights on your charger; it’ll be because things like the car’s computer and evaporative emis-sions system draw power even when the car is parked.

Great! Now you’re going to stay up nights obsessing about how much power your evaporative emissions system is using!

Actually, if you’ve got several devices, and it bothers you, another option is to get one of those power-outlet adapters that turns one outlet

into several. Then you can pull out that one plug when you leave the car and disable everything.

But even that’s not necessary, Alan. So free your mind. Don’t worry so much. Try to imagine that you’re just providing a nice, little nightlight for all the spiders living in your upholstery. Does that help?

Statewide Leadership Program Selects Class For Year Two

SIOUX FALLS — Leader-ship South Dakota, a pro-gram designed to develop homegrown leaders from every corner of the state, has selected participants for its second year of training. A total of 43 class members will attend the eight-month program. Applicants were chosen from a variety of occupations and locations across South Dakota.

“Our first year was a great success. Now we’re excited to grow Leadership South Dakota in year two and offer our special program to even more participants,” says Rick Melmer, Program Co-Founder for Leadership South Dakota. “Our mission is to attract engaged citizens from across the state, then provide them with the back-ground, unique experiences and insights necessary to assume leadership positions at the community, state and national levels.”

A full list of class mem-bers may be found at Lead-ershipSouthDakota.com/participants.

The 2016 class will meet in a variety of locations across the state.

• September 2015, in Pierre: focus on leadership team projects and state government

• October 2015, in Brook-ings: topics will be agricul-ture and education

• November 2015, in Rapid City: emphasis on tourism, natural resources and energy

• January 2016, in Sioux Falls: focus on health and financial services

• February 2016, in Kyle: study of Native American history and culture

• March 2016, in Yankton: topics include manufactur-ing and technology

• April 2016, in Cham-berlain: presentation of team projects and program graduation

Leadership South Dakota is a partnership with the South Dakota Community Foundation and Dakota Edu-cation Consulting. Partici-pants in last year’s inaugural class have high praise for the program.

“I came into the program looking forward to the professional development aspects,” says Suzanne Stluka, Leadership SD alum and program director for SDSU Extension Food & Families Program. “And while those were excellent, the opportunities made available to me as a leader to network, diagnose real South Dakota problems and create solutions with my peers is what I carried back to my office, and team, after each and every session.”

Leadership South Dakota is supported by (founding sponsors) South Dakota Community Foundation and Bush Foundation; (gold sponsors) First PREMIER Bank and Sanford Health; (silver sponsors) Daktron-ics, First National Bank/First Savings Bank, First Interstate Bank, Regional Health, Raven Industries, SDN Communica-tions and South Dakota Trust Company; (bronze sponsor) Black Hills Power; along with (in-kind sponsor) Lawrence & Schiller.

BROOKINGS — Southern rust was found in Union, Clay and Minnehaha Counties at low incidence and severity, says Emmanuel Byamu-kama, SDSU Extension Plant Pathologist.

“Southern rust can de-velop under warm and wet weather to levels where it can result in reduced corn yields. This disease does not overwinter in South Dakota, however, it still occurs when spores are blown from south-ern states,” Byamukama explained.

IDENTIFYING SOUTHERN RUST

Southern rust can be differentiated from common rust by the color and the arrangement of the pustules on the leaf. “Common rust pustules are dark red in color, while southern rust pustules are orange brown,” Byamukama said.

He explained that South-ern rust pustules tend to be clustered on the corn leaf whereas for common rust pustules may be scattered over the leaf.

“Eyespot is another fungal disease that can look like southern rust,” he said. “While both diseases may have a yellow halo around the lesion, southern rust forms a blister (pustule) that extends slightly above the leaf surface.”

These pustules can be scrapped-off leaf surface. Eyespot lesions do not have a blister and the lesions are usually found on the top half of the leaf.

Most corn hybrids are susceptible to Southern rust.

Byamukama encourages South Dakota farmers to scout their fields and where significant southern rust is developing, plan for a fungi-cide application for corn not yet at dent growth stage.

OTHER DISEASES DEVELOP-

ING IN CORNGoss’s wilt: A few corn

fields scouted in Union, Turner, and Clay Counties had moderate to severe Goss’s wilt.

Goss’s wilt is caused by Clavibacter michiganensis subsp nebraskensis. “This disease can be differenti-ated from corn northern leaf blight by the presence of freckles and water soaking at the edges of the lesion,” Byamukama said.

He explained that the bacteria survive on the corn residue and the infection is favored by warm and humid weather.

Goss’s wilt can be managed through plant-ing resistant hybrids, crop rotation, and tillage to bury the infected residue. “Risk increases with irrigated corn on corn,” Byamukama said.

Gray leaf spot: Most corn fields scouted had low levels of gray leaf spot (GLS). One corn field in in Clay County had moderate level of GLS. “Gray leaf spot is caused by a fungal pathogen, Cercospora zeae-maydis. This pathogen survives on corn residue and infection increases with humid and warm weather,” he said.

Gray leaf spot forms rectangular lesions between veins “These lesions can coa-lesce to form larger lesions,” Byamukama said.

He explained that gray leaf spot can be managed through planting resistant hybrids, crop rotation, tillage to burry residue, and apply-ing a fungicide when GLS is developing on the leaves below the ear leaf.
