12 Broadcaster Press July 3, 2012 www.broadcasteronline.com Prevent food-borne illness at summer gatherings Food safety basics can keep food poisoning from spoiling summer picnics and cookouts, says a state health official. “Hot weather is a food safety challenge because bacteria in food multiply faster anytime the temperature is above 40 degrees,” said Clark Hepper, health protection administrator for the Department of Health. Hepper recommended the following steps for cooking outdoor meals: • Start with hand-washing. Use moist disposable towelettes if soap and water aren’t available. • Keep raw foods separate from cooked foods. If a plate held raw meat, don’t use it again without first washing it in hot, soapy water. • Marinate foods in the refrigerator, not on the counter or outdoors, and don't reuse marinade. For use as a sauce, set some aside before adding food. • Use a food thermometer to make sure food is cooked thoroughly. Cook hamburgers to 160 degrees and chicken to at least 165 degrees. • Keep hot food hot (140 degrees or above) and cold food cold (40 degrees or below). • Refrigerate or freeze leftover food promptly. Don’t let perishable foods sit out longer than two hours; no more than one if temperatures are above 90 degrees. Food-borne illnesses often go unreported so the actual number of cases is likely higher than what’s reported. In 2011, South Dakota reported nearly 500 cases of the foodborne illnesses E. coli, Salmonella, and Campylobacter. To date in 2012, more than 200 cases of such illnesses have been reported, as well as nearly 100 cases of clostridium perfringens associated with improperly cooked and stored meat at a special event. These diseases can also be spread directly by farm animals and their manure. Symptoms of food-borne illness can include mild or severe diarrhea, fever, vomiting and abdominal pain. Some people may need fluids to prevent dehydration but most will recover at home without medication.

St. Paul Church kicks off sesquicentennial year St. Paul Lutheran Church, located approximately 12 miles east of Vermillion at 31903 475th Ave., will kick off the year leading up to its Sesquicentennial Celebration during the worship service at 10:30 a.m. Sunday, July 8. This service also will celebrate the 90th anniversary of the dedication of the current St. Paul Church building and its pipe organ. The service will be conducted by the Rev. Tim Thies, interim pastor of St. Paul, and will include portions of the dedication service conducted on July 9, 1922. A luncheon featuring homemade breads, a meat and cheese tray, a variety of salads and homemade pie and ice cream will follow the service. Theme for the Sesquicentennial Celebration is “Forward in Faith.” The Bible verse selected for the celebration is Psalm 122:1, “I was glad when they said to me, ‘Let us go to the House of the Lord!’” The 150th anniversary celebration is scheduled for July 20 and 21, 2013. A souvenir ornament commemorating the sesquicentennial features the exterior of St. Paul Church. The ornament is available for purchase at the church or by sending a letter to the 150th Anniversary Committee, c/o St. Paul Lutheran Church, P.O. Box 370, Elk Point, SD 57025. The cost is $12 each plus postage. Dr. H.G. Stub of Minneapolis, MN, president of the Norwegian Lutheran Church of America, officiated at the dedication service in July 1922. He was assisted by the Rev. N. Boe, of Sioux Falls, district president. The Rev. A.J. Bergsaker was the pastor of St. Paul Church at that time. Professor Henrik Gunnersen of Minneapolis presented a pipe organ concert during the three-day celebration of the dedication of both the church and the organ. The cost of the church was $85,000; the cost of the organ was $5,000. St. Paul Church, the first Lutheran church in the Dakota Territory, was organized in August of 1863. Vermillion Reds sweep Lennox Saturday By Parker Knox Sportswriter The Vermillion Reds, the younger of the two Teener teams, closed its home schedule at Prentis Park with a doubleheader sweep of Lennox Saturday. Vermillion dominated the first game, closing it down with a four-run fifth inning that gave them an 11-1 win via the 10-run mercy rule. It was decided to play two more innings as another game, and the Reds also won that one, 2-0. Brett Hanson pitched all five innings of the opener. After escaping a basesloaded situation in the first inning, he was never in trouble once his team gave him a big lead. Hanson picked a pair of runners off base, catcher Brandon Mockler picked another off third, and shortstop Carter Kratz contributed with a snare of a line drive that he turned into a double play. On offense Hunter Christopherson and Joe Miller reached base all four times they batted. Christopherson had three hits and two RBIs while Miller and Riley Peters each had two hits with one RBI. In the abbreviated second game Billy Mount drove in a run with a single, and Hanson, who had the other Reds hit, scored the second run scored on a catcher's throwing error. The Reds have a return date at Lennox on Monday at 6:30 p.m. Avera sponsors Hebda Family Produce fundraiser The Avera Sacred Heart Foundation will be sponsoring Hebda Family Produce, Homemade Goods & Specialty Items Fundraiser.
