Clearing Snow Gets Costly

Just when we thought we were in the clear, winter returns. I sure hope you enjoyed the mini heat wave while it lasted. It gave plows and snow removal budgets a break, but even that was short lived. Our Shawn Neisteadt is off to Dell Rapids to show you how all the snow we’ve had this winter is impacting small town budgets.
When you notice your personal budget is getting thin, how do you handle it? Do you try to stretch the money you have, or cut out expenses that you can do without? Minnehaha County’s budget is struggling. At this morning’s meeting commissioners are discussing how to handle a massive shortfall. David Brown is there and will have more on what they decide.

Plus, crews in Sioux Falls have had to work to clear streets every holiday since Thanksgiving. How’s that for timing? Nicole Winters is looking into the impact on the city’s checkbook.

And what have you found is the easiest way to get rid of the sheet of ice on your driveway and sidewalks? I have a neighbor who has a snow plow buisiness and says it’s been difficult for him to clear driveways.

Chikungunya is marked by severe joint pain, inflammation, headaches, rashes and fever. If the infection is severe enough, it can lead to death. Symptoms can persist for months in those who survive, causing debilitating arthritis.
The virus, which has symptoms similar to dengue fever, has long been a scourge in Asia and Africa. In fact the name, Chikungunya, comes from the African Makonde dialect, meaning “bending over in pain.”
There is currently no vaccine or treatment for the disease.
Chikungunya is carried by two mosquito species -- Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus -- that also transmit the dengue virus. Chikungunya, which is carried in the blood, is picked up by mosquitoes after they bite an infected person and spread when the insects then bite uninfected individuals.
Public health officials worry that the virus could persist in the Americas for months, as climate conditions in the tropical countries are ripe for the insect carriers to flourish.

SFA rejects Mike Ashley's Rangers stake increase request

The Newcastle United owner currently holds 8.92% and wanted to increase that in return for providing funding.
Rangers need at least £8m of fresh investment to continue trading for the next 12 months.
The SFA board "unanimously" declined Ashley's proposal, a decision which has left Rangers "very disappointed".
The club intends to hold a share issue early in the new year, but a £16m proposal from a consortium including Dave King remains on offer.
The SFA's Article 13 states that no individual can hold stakes in two clubs without prior written permission from the board.
Ashley received that permission when he bought his initial shareholding, but he also signed up to an agreement not to own more than 10% and not to exercise undue influence on the boardroom.

Norman Atlantic: Confusion over ferry fire survivors

More than 400 people were rescued amid gale-force winds and thick smoke.
Survivors have described "scenes from hell" as order broke down aboard the ferry ahead of the rescue.
They gave accounts of passengers trampling over and hitting each other to be the first in line to be taken to safety.
Captain Argilio Giacomazzi was widely praised for staying on board to see the evacuation through, more than 36 hours after sending out a distress signal.
It is unclear what caused the fire to break out on Sunday on the car deck of the ferry. Italian prosecutors have opened a criminal investigation.
