Two local vets participate in Honor Flight Over the past few years dozens of Honor Flights have taken Mid-Missouri veterans to Washington D.C. Don Schmitz of New London recently returned from the Aug. 29 Great River Honor Flight. Schmitz, a Korean veteran, served with the U.S. Army near the DMZ most of his time in Korea.

His initial impression of the Honor Flight was how he was treated by the guardians and volunteers. “You’re in shock the whole time. The way they serve you. You don’t have to remember anything.”

Once at Washington D.C. the group first toured the Korean Memorial. “It brought back so many things. You talk and memories come back,” said Schmitz. Another impressive sight was the Iwo Jima statue. As the bus continued around the monument, the flag seemed to actually rise. “You swear they were raising it,” he said.

Ronald Galloway grew up near Per-

ry and went to school at West Hartford.

He now lives in Vandalia. He flew out on the Aug. 26 Central Missouri Honor Flight. He traveled with his brother, Lyndel. Both are Korean veterans serving in the Navy. They had three brothers who served in World War II. “My mother was a strong country woman,” said Galloway.

In Washington D.C. they were surprised by Lyndel’s granddaughter, Cpt. Natalie Meng, who works in the Pentagon. Galloway, too, was impressed with the attentive care the veterans received from the volunteers. “I didn’t spend one penny,” aid Galloway. “We didn’t have to worry about ourselves at all. There were lots of wonderful people. All of them volunteers. All of them so gracious.”

Among the monuments and memorials visited were the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, Arlington National Cemetery, Iwo Jima Memorial, Korean War Memorial, WWII Memorial and

the Vietnam War Memorial.

The buses were led to the St. Louis airport by Patriot Riders, notably one of the most emotional parts of the Honor Flight. The riders would be led by police until they could pass the bus and pull ahead. When the formation was finished the bus was surrounded by motorcycles, and hundreds of headlights lit the way for the veterans, flesh and blood national treasures.

Another emotional moment came when the veterans received “mail call” on the way home. Large envelopes filled with cards, letters and notes from family, friends, and school children thanking them for their service brought many a tear to the eye. Favorites were pictures drawn by young children.

Both Central Missouri and Great River Honor Flights have trips planned for the near future before the weather gets too cold. Anyone who knows a

VIEWS & COMMENTS From the Editor

by Editor Carolyn Trower I try to keep this column light and reflective, but the events at the September 12 Parents Night at Center Elementary demand satisfaction.

What should have been a great night for both students and parents was ruined by a deplorable display of bad manners. The students worked so hard to showcase a new program, a program they are embracing with enthusiasm, to their parents and others in the audience.

And how did the adults respond?

Some were attentive, but unless you were sitting near the stage you couldn’t hear a thing, despite the use of microphones. The majority of the adults talked and the noise level as they carried on their conversations grew louder and louder and the faces of the students on stage grew sadder and sadder.

Why? Why would adults be so disrespectful and rude? Aren’t these the same parents who teach good manners to their children at home? Is it a rule that if you’re a kid you don’t deserve the same respect, no matter how important the message or how hard you all worked to put it together?

I was embarrassed and angry, but most of all I was heartbroken for those students who looked out on an audience acting with total disregard and disrespect.

And the real lesson was that on Monday morning when I was at the school to take a picture, every single one of these kids exhibited the same enthusiasm for the 7 habits. They were hurt by the night’s behavior, but resilient enough to overcome their disappointment. This says so much about the character of these young people. Now we just need to act accordingly and be adults they can respect.

Courage I took last week off because I felt like I was burning out. I knew I could have written about Patriot Day, Benghazi and all that goes with it, but I didn’t feel like I could put the feelings I have about that particular day and those particular acts into words last week.

I have been thinking a lot over the past few weeks about no longer writing about our President or his policies. Kind of like an Obama hiatus. Barring any major policy changes or newsworthy events at the federal level, I believe this is a real possibility. If I choose to go on an O hiatus, then I will have to focus more on state and local issues. We have plenty of those that I can research and write about.

I have received some emails, phone calls and comments on the streets from citizens throughout the county about certain topics they would like to see me pursue. And I have mentioned most of these concerns in my columns in one form or the other. Some of these I have not written about. I haven’t forgotten about your concerns if you haven’t seen them here yet. Some of them I have checked into, with little or no response from the parties I have sent correspondence to. Others, I just haven’t had time to get to.

I wish I had more time on my hands to dig deeper into some local issues. Between Common Core, 911 and a possible ballot issue from the school in April, I think I have plenty to keep me busy just at the local level. If you know of any meetings, publications, websites or just someone I could learn something from, please feel free to pass the information along to me at my email address or in the comment section on my website.

It not only takes time, but a lot of courage to speak out about a lot of these issues. If you believe strongly in something, find the courage to write that letter to the editor or to stand up at a public meeting and ask questions. These are rights that were granted to us by our Founding Fathers’ and the less of us who use them, the more they are weakened. If we don’t stand for what we believe in then we stand for nothing and deserve the same. I I may have to dig deep to find my well of courage. It won’t be fun for me to tackle some of these issues. This is a small county with three small communities. I am sure that I will upset some friends and may have a few acquaintances who no longer speak to me after I give my opinions and support them with facts. I hope that if I ask questions, they are answered openly and honestly and I don’t have to do the two step with officials at the local level. But I’m getting out my dancing shoes, just to be on the safe side.

So, let me know what you would like to see me write about. My goal is to help Ralls County citizens become better informed about what is going on at the local level and as a result to see more involvement at the local level.

Final thoughts: My oldest turns 16 this Friday. Please wish him a Happy Birthday if you see him out and about. Jacob Tanner McMillen – keep that truck off the sidewalks and on the right side of the road. If you don’t, the whole county has my email address, so I will be well informed of any trouble you may get yourself into.

If The Bough Breaks I didn’t have to duck as low last time I mowed under the limbs. Taking into account the lack of rain and the general time-of-year/angle-of-the-sun, the wisdom of nature is eliminating “dead weight.” As any part of the foliage falls below the “energy gathering” vs “maintenance required” balance point, it achieves nirvana as an essential nutrient, thereby lessening the load on the supporting structure.

Somehow government can’t (or won’t) apply the principles that nature demonstrates effectively. (Possibly because so little government, particularly national, is ever exposed to sufficient sunlight.) Case-in-point: pensioned demigods telling the public that they will handle issues in complete deference to the will of the public because they hold the power of knowledge, and the public is ignorant. Granted: at least some of the public was dumb enough to elect them.

It seems that we are shackled by a government of hollow yard gnomes, content to sit smugly on their little bit of turf with no clue as to whether they are being anointed by the tears of their constituents or the hogwash of some robosprinkler.

It is also interesting to note that the “slouching schoolboy” seems to feel that the “emperor” may be underdressed.

It is somewhat difficult to argue with Russia since that country is just now digging itself out of the economic abyss of totally socialized government that the U.S. is teetering on the brink of. What government has the economic and technical ability to carry our U.S. astronauts to and from outer space? How many countries (other than the United States and North Korea) are totally dependent on China for economic survival?

Somehow the rosy-cheeked farm nation that stumbled into WWI emerged from WWII with a Social Security number and a noticeable swagger. Though Eddie Rickenbach (our first ACE fighter pilot from WWI and founder of eastern Airlines) worked as an aviation consultant for the government during WWII for one dollar per year, it had become apparent to most manufacturers, investors, and union bosses that the military appetite was their ticket to the buffet.

It is quite one thing to invest in a highly-comfortable security environment, but when you realize (or should) that the “Jones” aren’t trying to keep up with you anymore, but are instead, stockpiling your loan markers and gleaning every tidbit left unattended; it may well be time to beat at least some of the swords into more useful hardware. The problem manifests itself in that government contracts are the “low hanging fruit” upon which contractors, union bosses and campaign coffers rely to maintain their lifestyle.

When one looks at cutbacks in education funding (what we obviously need is more gambling), deteriorating infrastructure, healthcare funding, etc. one can only be amazed (they won’t print the proper term) at the military bases that haven’t functioned in years, but are landscaped, neatly trimmed, and offices maintained climate-controlled. How about all the dinners the government has instead of doing “something” during business hours? And how about all those sabers we only use to rattle for political attention?

Oh, you can go home now. Voyager 1 has left the universe.

MOCHIP identification program set for Saturday, Sept. 28, at MTHS MOCHIP, the Missouri Child Identification and Protection Program, will be offered to area parents on Sept.

28, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Mark Twain High School Multi-Purpose Building in Center.

MOCHIP is a comprehensive child identification and protection program designed to provide families a proactive means of protection should their child or teen become missing. The program is sponsored by the Missouri Masonic Children’s Foundation, Ralls Lodge #33, Hannibal Lodge #188, Center Wise Guys 4-H Club, and

Ralls County 4-H Council.

The program is offered free of charge.

The program consists of five major components: digital photographs, digital fingerprints, child information and emergency contacts, dental bite impression, and two (2) laminated ID cards. The dental bite wafer provides an impression of the biting surface, which like fingerprints, is unique to each individual. This wafer also collects enough saliva to provide a DNA sample and a source scent for trained canine search and recovery teams. The child’s digital pho-

tographs and fingerprints and their vital information are given to the parent or guardian on a mini-CD computer disk. The information is “AMBER ALERT” compatible.

The Masonic Children’s Foundation retains no information concerning the children—only a signed permission form is retained by the Foundation.

So Dedicated

Every once in a while you run in to someone who is so devoted to a cause, they work at it full time with no pay. In Richmond, it is Jim Rippy, and the cause is to help Veterans to obtain benefits that are rightfully theirs.

In 1968, Jim was married with one child, and was drafted into the Army. His pay as a draftee Private was so low (under $150.00) that he was obviously going to lose everything. He applied for OCS (Officers Candidate School), which raised his pay to over $1,000 a month, but required him to serve for an additional year. This time was spent in Viet Nam as a Lieutenant, where he and his men were required to place signal equipment on the highest spot they could find. The Viet Cong were aware they had to have that location, and so they came under heavy fire.

After his service ended, Jim returned to Richmond, and had a successful ReMax office. After retiring from real estate, he is the Veterans Information Officer, now officially in charge of the homeless and employment for the 27,000 member State of Missouri VFW organization.

Most veterans who served overseas have the desire to go back. In 1999, Jim was able to fulfill that desire, and actually find the hill where he came under fire. He also walked into a museum in Hanoi, and came face to face with a stuffed Ho Chi Minh who was the leader of the enemy, sitting in a chair.

Jim went in to the souvenir shop in the VA Hospital in Kansas City to buy an Army Viet Nam cap. Lo and behold, it was made in China. Jim Rippy is wholly responsible Continued to page 3

RALLS COUNTY RECOLLECTIONS

A View From the Past

“Most Disastrous fire in Perry History” Perry Missouri “Perry Enterprise” August 26, 1937 $126, 000 Damage In Fire At R. S. Buchanan Plant Tuesday Night Fire caused damage estimated at $126,000 broke out in the feeding room of the Buchanan Company plant here Tuesday night about 11:45 and swept through the story and a half frame building and into the hollow tile building to the north of it which housed the offices, ice plant, cold storage rooms and egg candling departments. The cause of the fire is unknown and when it was first discovered, had gained tremendous headway in the feeding room. A. L. Inlow, night man at the plants, turned in the alarm and among those first at the fire were C. W. Goodin, Merl Long and F. C. Faw. The Perry fire department responded to the call and fought the fire valiantly, being able to save the mill and feed buildings, with the assistance of the Hannibal and Paris fire departments.

This is the most disastrous fire in the history of Perry. It eliminates for the time being, the biggest patron of the Shortline and the municipal light and water department and most important of all it eliminates our biggest payroll, the principle factor in the last eleven years in the growth and progress of Perry.

Needless to say Mr. Buchanan, his family, the officers of the company and the employees have the sympathy of the people of the community in this great loss and hope is expressed on every hand that the plant will be rebuilt immediately. Mr. Buchanan, Glen Martin and Jim Carter was busy this Wednesday morning trying to make arrangements foe the handling of the produce which the company had on hand.

-The loss includes the story and a half frame building 200 X 300 feet in size, on the south part of the ground need for the feeding of the chickens, picking department, storage and handling of feathers and egg case making department: the hollow tile building, 200 X 250 feet, housing the ice plant, offices, cold storage rooms for poultry, eggs and ice, and the egg candling department, a car of dressing poultry in the cold storage room, the value of which was estimated at $3,000, and which would have gone over the Shortline this morning; 50 batteries or 5,000 head of live poultry in the feeding room; two storage box cars which were filled with egg case supplies; one truck’ all ropes, truck racks and tarpaulins used on the trucks.

Saved from the fire was the feed mill and plant, a galvanized meal building; most of the records out of the front office; box cars used for storage near the mill; practically a car of eggs; and all of the truck except one.

Nearly everybody in town and surrounding country came to the fire. Cars from the country were parked clear to the top of Church Hill. Reports have come in that the fire could be seen for distances of twenty miles around.

The two ammonia tanks of the refrigeration system exploded, the largest was under 800 pounds pressure. It blew the four by four beams over it clear down into the Martin pasture, a distance of 250 feet, and the cap off of it landed clear down by the stock pens, 450 feet to the south.

S. M. Ross, who delivers ice over town, was on his route as usual this morning, ice being salvaged from the storage room, where the fire was beat down by the fire fighters as quickly as they could get to it.

The members of the Hannibal department responding to the call were Chief Elmer Miller, assistant Chief Dennis Mahoney, Clark Bush, and Milton Druell. Their equipment was a powerful outfit. They made the run out here which is 30 miles or better over a ten mile detour, in 40 minutes. They have the thanks and appreciation of the company and the community for their aid.

Jim Hohimer, Roy Powers and Freddy Branham bought the Paris fire truck over and aided greatly in putting out the fire. We appreciate their interest and cooperation.

Mr., Buchanan, estimates his loss at $126,000 about forty per cent of which was covered by insurance. His loss is keenly felt by the whole community.

The R. S. Buchanan Company came here from Center eleven years ago this December, their plant covered about three acres of ground and its one of the best known poultry plants in the state. It ranks as one of the most modern and as one of the largest shipper in the Middle West. The plant employed a minimum of 50 men and women and a maximum of 140. Besides the home plant here, the company operated thirteen buying stations in other nearby towns.

The trucks were gotten away from the fire by Merl Long and C. W. Goodin, who not having keys to them drove them by using the starter. One of them was inside the building and was loaded with feed.

Old Bill, the pet goose, which had had the run of the plant for eleven years, lost his life in the fire. He was 2 year old when Mr., Buchanan got him and he stayed all the time in the feeding room. His death brought sorrow to all the plant force.

The Perry fire fighters deserve a lot of commendation for the way they fought the fire. There was plenty of water thanks to our municipal water system and the boys did a wonderful job considering the equipment with they had to work.

Some one reported it took 50 minutes for the fire to spread from the feeding room, where it started to the other building.

The company has estimated temporary offices at the Home Telephone Company and Mr., Carter has moved his books to his house.

Center Food Pantry The Center Community Food Pantry will be open Thursday, Sept. 19, 4 - 6 p.m. in the Olivet Christian Church basement.

The pantry is open the second Thursday of each month.

“In the book. Got him in the book just like Yankees and them rich bird dog men over in Alabama and up around Atlanta and places like that.” Cash opened the door to his truck and climbed behind the wheel and, for an instant, Skeeter thought he was going to get away without telling all the story.

“Ain’t leaving, are you?” the boy asked. “Uh huh. Your Uncle Jesse will tell you how come I drove out here with my dog.” Jesse Jackson came out of his slouch and out of the shade and stood tall in the sun. “Reckon you’ll tell him, Cash.” “Reckon I will.

It’s my place to tell him.”

He rested his arms on the door of his truck and looked down at Skeeter and at Lady.

“Brought Mill out here for you and Jesse to look after him and work him for me.”

“That’s what I figured,” Skeeter said. “Know’d you didn’t aim to keep that dog around your store. He needs working.” Cash looked away toward the cabin and then the woods. “But you got a dog.

Didn’t know you’d found that dog when I came out.”

“Got room for two dogs,” the boy said hopefully. The storekeeper would pay well for them to keep his dog and work him. Then, too, such a find bird dog would be the very thing for Lady. The setter could teach her how to hunt. “I’d feed him good and take him to the woods every day.” “No. I reckon not.”

“It ain’t on account of my dog, is it?” “Now, I ain’t say-

started to speak and then hold his tongue and deferred to the boy. After all, Lady was his dog and he should speak.

Skeeter thought for a second to find the words he wanted and then he found then. “I’ll keep my dog this side of the river. I won’t let her run with your dog and learn him bad habits. But you keep yours on the other side of the river.” “I’ll tell Gates.” Cash stepped on the starter. “No hard feelings.” “No hard feelings,” Skeeter said. “Just tell Gates I said keep your dog away from mine and I’ll keep mine away from yours.” “Just tell Gates we both said that,” Uncle Jesse added. Cash put his truck into gear and told them goodbye and that he would be seeing then, and he droe away. The old man and the boy watched the truck out of sight and the dust settling and then Uncle Jesse walked back toward the cabin and the woodpile. “Put the buttermilk inside,” he said.

“Then come on and we’ll finish that wood.” “Did Mister Cash say anything about the wood?” “He’ll pick it up in a few days.” Skeeter caught up with Uncle Jesse and Lady ran ahead of them. “Is there enough wood there to square out bill?” “Just about.” They got to the porch and the boy picked up the buckets and started in the front door and then he stopped and turned.

ing that.” “He ain’t said that, Skeeter,” Uncle Jesse broke in.

“But you don’t want your dog running with mine.” The boy spoke slowly and there was a trace of betterness, even anger, in his words. “Ain’t saying that at all.” Cash avoided the boy’s eyes. “Why don’t you come right out and say it, Mister Cash. That my dog ain’t good enough to run with yours.” “Now you acting like I low-rated your dog. And I ain’t. Just that Mill’s a fine bird dog and ain’t no telling what yours is. She hunts rats.

If my dog run with yours, he mor’n likely would learn bad habits. Like rat hunting.

Or maybe coons and rabbits, and things like that.”

Cash chewed the words as though he disliked saying them. “Can’t take a chance.

My dog is in the book. Paid a hundred dollars for him.””I get the drift.” Skeeter stepped bhack from the truck and Lady followed him and stood close to him. “Your dog’s in the book and mine came from the swamp. Well, I aim to keep mine.” “That’s what I told him,” Jesse said. “Told him we’d be rightly proud to look after his, but that we aim to keep ours.” “Know how you feel,” Cash said. “But I aim to take mine over to the Watson place and get Gates to look after him, and work him out every day. Your dog won’t be running over that way, will she?” Uncle Jesse

Pulling for Life A Way To Share Her Love What started out as a way to show friends a sport that was dear to her heart became to continue her memory.

In 2003 my husband Jeremy was asked if he would be able to arrange a garden tractor pull along with the annual Perry Fall Festival. Jeremy was unsure if we could do it but with some encouragement from his sister, “Please, please, please,” she begged. “I want to show my hometown how much fun this is.” Thanks to many friends and their hard work the pull was made possible. Money raised went to the local food pantry for

The 11th Annual Perry Summer Shootout/ Amanda Jaspering Memorial Pull took place Saturday, Sept. 7. It was a record breaking year with 161 hooks. Tractors began pulling about 5 p.m. and continued until the early morning hours on Sunday. Tractors came from Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois, Oklahoma and Missouri. This has become a huge event, with Amanda’s dream of a pull in her hometown is alive and growing thanks to sponsors, pullers, volunteers and fans. Please continue to support her memory and say thank you to those local businesses because without their continued generosity this event wouldn’t be able to take place. Thanks again to everyone for another amazing year.

the first few years, then to the local school to help with needs, always going back to the local community.

In 2006 Amanda’s life was lost in a car accident.

The community was very supportive that we should honor her memory by making the pull about her.

Money for the pull is donated each year from local businesses and individuals.

The generosity of this small hometown is amazing. The money raised went to a scholarship fund that was set up at Amanda’s high school.

The first year we handed out five $1,000 scholarships to her graduating class and every year since money from the tractor pull has helped to make it possible to give out a $1,000 scholarship.

Each year word of mouth and a little advertising has helped to make this pull continue to grow and has become something that families and the community look forward to because it is free to watch and a great family atmosphere. Please help us continue this and say thank you to this community for their support.

NL Second Christian

Rev. M. Faye Vaughn

Seventeenth Sunday after Pentecost, September 15th, worship service opened with prayer, congregational hymns, welcome and Sister Thelma Fugate reading announcements. Elder JoAnn Allison gave our call to worship, Sister Marsha Mayfield led responsive reading Promises Of God (New Testament). Celebration hymn “We Have Come Into This House” was followed

by Elder Billie Burton offering morning prayer and choral response. Hymn of thanks “Thank You, Lord” was followed by scripture, youth sharing and message.

Sister Thelma Fugate read Psalm 51:1-10; Sister Linda K. Burton read 1Timothy 1:12-17; Camron read John 1:1-9 and Mariah read I will sing to the Lord, for he has been good to me! The youth message, Rev. Vaughn continued the teachings of the Ten Commandments.

This week - Thou shalt not steal. Rev. Vaughn said “This makes God unhappy. It separates us from him.

The choir rendered three musical selections including the processional “Until I Found the Lord,” “I Will Trust the Lord” and “Take Me To the King,” soloist Sister JaVal Burton. Elder Allison offered the offertory scripture, offertory hymn “Pass Me Not, O Gentle Savior,’ offertory prayer and the doxology was sung.

Joys were heard and all concerns were laid at the altar for pastoral prayer. Rev. Vaughn continues to lift up in prayer all concerns laid at the altar, continued prayer list, the United States, our community and surrounding area and all people/situations/opportunities standing in the need of prayer. We may not know what all the needs are, but God knows.

Congregational hymn “Trust and Obey” was followed by receiving our Pastor, Rev. M. Faye Vaughn for the Word. Scripture reading was from Acts 17:1-9, the message “A Spiritual Revolution.” There are five things that we must have if we are to have a spiritual revolution. 1. We must have a revolutionary leader 2. We must have a revolutionary message 3. We must have a revolutionary plan 4. We must have a revolutionary power 5. We must have a revolutionary commitment.

These are the most revolutionary days in human history. There are revolutionary changes in almost every area of life. Ours is a time when all norms are broken and people are lost in frustration and futility. There is need for a revolution, not of force and fear, but of love and reason, a revolution such as the one the book of Acts describes. The word revolution means “to turn,” or “to change.”

The message was followed by hymn of invitation, communion hymn, closing hymn “God Has Smiled On Me” and the benediction.

“How about you? Is Christ your master; your priority?

OBITUARIES AND CHURCH NEWS

Perry Christian Church

Pastor David Todd

The Sunday, Sept. 15 worship hour for the Perry Christian Church began with the choir singing “Only Trust Him”. The altar candles had been lit by Justin and Daniel Picard.

Pastor Todd welcomed Judy (Reynolds) Bukatz, a former member.

Monday Bible Studies will be in the Book of Joel. September 19 the Fund Raising Committee will meet at 7 p.m. Anyone wanting to play in the golf tourney October 5, has a chance for a big prize with a “ hole in one”.

“Awesome God” was sung in praise. “Like a Lamb Who Needs the Shepherd” was the prayer hymn. Our concerns include Ron McLaughlin and Frankie Ross. LouAnn and Warren Hetrick have our sympathy on the sudden passing of their step-granddaughter. “Into My Heart” was the choir response.

“Amazing Grace” was sung for the Communion Hymn.

Prayers were given by Elders Greg Harrison and Arlen Provancha. Carol Norman, Nancy Seelow, Warren and Lou Ann Hetrick were the deacons serving the Lord’s Supper.

The choir’s special music was “For Those Tears I Died”.

Arlen directed and Cheri accompanied them.

For the children’s moment Joyce Coleman instructed the group with rules for being a good Christian.

Luke 15:1-10 was read by Eunice Fisher about the lost sheep. “Reclaiming the Lost” was the sermon of Pastor Todd. Do you ever feel lost and look for directions in life?

God is there for anyone searching for something that is missing in their life. It is always important to think of others, whether it is family, friend or “Jesus Never Fails” was the invitation hymn. The benediction was given and the service closed singing “Take the Name of Jesus With You”.

South Fork Presbyterian Pastor John Grimmett The Sunday, Sept. 15 services at South Fork Presbyterian church began with Patti Grimmett playing “I Love to Tell the Story” on the piano followed by Debbie Carey leading in song to “Brethren We Have Met to Worship”, “Amazing Grace”, “Love Divine” and “Threefold Amen”.

Pastor John played guitar as Patti sang “In This Very Room” The message “The Lost and Found” was based on scripture from Luke 15, as sinners and righteous gather with Jesus.

One lost sheep should be helped by the church; lift them up to new life- One lost coin can be found in the darkness; just as you can light the lamp for one sinner. The lost son who left his father and realized his mistake and was welcomed back with compassion who was lost and now found. As the church we need to look at ourselves, as the past is the past... there is grace from God’s forgiveness - today start a new day! Jesus is there for forgiveness - those who have ears let them hear!

Kaylee led the offertory as Patti played “O Master, Let Me Walk With Thee” and all sang the “Doxology” Patti played “O How I Love Jesus” as all retired in fellowship.

Services are held every Sunday at 9 a.m. and all are welcome to come hear the word of the Lord.

Pastor Tim Sanders

Don’t Forget to Pray The word says that the prayers of a righteous man availeth much. Our country sits on the edge of the start of another war. Some sit in fear, others are distraught with worry. It is in these times that the fate of a nation does not lie in chariots or horses but in the prayers of righteous men and women.

Come behold the works of the Lord who has made desolations in the earth. He makes wars cease to the end of the earth. He breaks the bow and cuts the spear in two. He burns the chariot in the fire. Be still and know that I am God. Psalms 46:8-10 Prayer: Lord, hallowed be your name. Lord, lay this great conflict down before it gets started. Lord, give our leaders wisdom to do this. Lord, thy kingdom come, thy will be done. Amen The Church at Ariel (Ariel Christian) is located in Ralls County off Highway A 1.5 miles west of Salt River Bridge on Ariel Lane. Follow the signs.

A Salute to Ralls County Farmers

Archer Daniels Midland Co. built grains bins to increase storage capacity

Dalton Woodfhurst and General Manager Matt Kelch get ready to check in a truck load of grain arriving at ADM Monday, Sept. 16.

The Archer Daniels Midland Co. elevator located at Center constructed new grain bins in the past few years to increase their storage capacity by approximately 600,000 bushels of grain. Presently the facility has the capacity to store one million bushels of corn, soybeans

and wheat.

The operation employs Matt Kelch, general manager, and Dalton Woodhurst on a full-time basis and up to five additional employees during harvest season. Brian Woodhurst is the grain originator. His job is to procure grain for the elevator and to help

with new contract options.

ADM Cares is a program that gives grants to local food pantries or

school programs. The Center ADM elevator has provided this community support for several years.

Dalton Woodhurst and General Manager Matt Kelch stand in front of one of the grain bins at the ADM location in Center.

RALLS COUNTY FARMS Winter Mulch

Frost Seeding Legumes... Continued from page 6 casting can be quite difficult).

February is an ideal time to frost seed. Pastures suited to overseeding have little aboveground growth, and are up to date with fertilizer and lime recommendations. Seeding in late February and early March is ideal, as at this time there is a small chance the seed will take up moisture and temperatures are unlikely to reach much below freezing. Freeze and thaw cycles of the soil at this time of year gradually move seed into contact with the soil, mediating any spring temperature fluctuations which would otherwise lead to premature germination. When conditions allow, frost seeding should be done over a light snow cover, as this will provide a visual confirmation of seed distribution. If possible,

running livestock on the newly seeded pasture for a short time will ensure good seed to soil contact as the animals tromp the seed into the soil.

Most all legumes can be frost seeded, including red clover, annual lespedeza, birdsfoot trefoil, ladino clover, and alfalfa.

Clovers have been shown to establish better than alfalfa. When overseeding with improved varieties, stands can last three to four years if properly managed.

Seed should be innoculated with the appropriate Rhizobium specie for effective nitrogen fixation.

When frost seeding into an existing pasture, recommendations call for five to eight pounds of alfalfa per acre, four to six pounds red clover, two to three pounds ladino clover, four to six pounds birdsfoot tre-

foil, or five to six pounds annual lespedeza. When frost seeding onto rough sod, or areas of thick thatch, these rates should be doubled.

Controlled grazing or harvesting of frost-seeded pastures is recommended to reduce competition with the new seedlings from established vegetation and weeds. Stands which were frost-seeded March can provide grazing by June, and again in July and August. As a general rule, light grazing is recommended when the legume is four to six inches tall. After allowing time for regrowth, grazing can resume when the legume is eight to ten inches tall.

However, thick grass stands may be grazed right away, in order to open up the canopy and allow the legumes to grow

Mulches may be used to make landscapes more attractive and usable, reduce winter injury, and to reduce the amount of maintenance work during the growing season.

Plants that most need mulching are evergreen shrubs and young evergreen trees, especially the broad-leaved types.

Mulches reduce winter drying that causes foliage to become scorched and discolored. Other plants that should be mulched are azalea, boxwood, Chinese and Japanese hollies, and rhododendron.

Exotic evergreens and any tree or shrub planted north of their best zone of adaptation should be kept well mulched yearround. Young, newly planted trees surrounded by tall fescue also benefit greatly from mulch as tall fescue competes for water and nutrients. In most

Stockpiling Tall Fescue Alix Carpenter, Agronomy Specialist University of Missouri Extension

Stockpiling is merely growing pasture for later use. This is typically done by applying nitrogen to tall fescue pasture in August, allowing the fescue to grow through the fall, and grazing in the late fall and/or early winter. The practice can be done with many other cool-season grasses, however, tall fescue shows the greatest response (growth) to August nitrogen applications.

With more fall growth than other cool season grasses adapted to northeast Missouri, stockpiled fescue can produce 3,000 to 4,000 pounds of forage in the fall and has 14% crude protein in early November. An application of 60 to 80 pounds of nitrogen will allow for optimal stockpiling. The thickest stands of fescue are those which will respond the most to fertilization for stockpiling. Pastures

best suited to stockpiling have a low weed density, and low to moderate amounts of legumes (legumes do not stockpile well). When stockpiling, the pasture should first be mowed to a height of two to three inches. This removes (poor quality) summer growth, and allows the plant to produce high quality leaves. With adequate moisture, much growth will occur within four to six weeks; waiting eight to 12 weeks to graze is preferable.

Several forms of nitrogen are available for pasture use; the two predominately used forms are ammonium nitrate and urea. Ammonium nitrate is an excellent form for late summer fertilization as surface volatilization losses are minimized Urea is generally a less expensive source of nitrogen, but the nitrogen can be completely lost under

the hot, humid conditions which favor volatilization.

Typical urea losses following late summer applications range from 10-20%; such losses can approach 40-50% when there is no rainfall for several weeks after application. Urease inhibitors, which reduce volatilization losses with urea, are available, but also add to the cost. Other than th August nitrogen application, it is important that stockpiled fields be limed, and fertilized with phosphorous and potassium if needed, to maximize forage production.

To encourage growth for stockpiling, the typical recommendation for nitrogen timing is early August. This time is based on the theory that nitrogen applied at this time will be available when late summer rains will encourage plant uptake and growth.

As a lack of moisture is not a concern this year, the window of nitrogen application can most likely be extended to the end of August.

Ergovaline, the toxin responsible for fescue toxicosis, is often a concern. Toxicity is expressed at ergovaline levels of 200 to 300 ppb (parts per billion). Stockpiling can significantly reduce the amount of ergovaline in fescue. University of Missouri research indicated that, on average, fescue hay contains 500 ppb ergovaline. In January, the level of ergovaline in stockpiled fescue is 320 ppb; by March, this level drops to 75 ppb.

Nitrogen is quite expensive now, but so is hay.

Make the calculations; stockpiling fescue for winter use may pay well for you this year, even if it has not in the past.

The original fertilizer plant was started as Gough Fertilizer in 1960 by Jim Gough.

In 1974 his son, James W. (Jim) Gough, returned to the area and went to work with his father. The business was family-owned until 1998 when United Agri Products purchased the land and equipment. In 2003 Crop Production Services merged with United Agri Products.

Gough has remained location manager through the transitions.

Today they are one of the world’s largest agriculture retailers. CPS in Perry provides seeds, fertilizer, anhydrous

ammonia and other crop production products to farmers within a 20-mile diameter. They also provide custom application of fertilizer, lime and ammonia.

The greatest changes Gough has seen over the years have been in the impact technology has had on the business. Today’s trucks have computers that allow for precision application and variable rates of fertilizers.

CPS sells corn, soybean, wheat and milo seeds from DeKalb, Asgrow and Dyna-Gro. Gough says the different traits in seeds produced today do a better job protecting crops from insects, provide a “drought tolerant”

Golian is self-taught.

He began by buying high-back saddles made in the 1800’s. He cleaned and oiled the old leather, then took them apart to repair them. When he made his first saddle every piece of leather was hand cut. Over the years he has added the dye machine that has allowed him to build his custom saddles. He has been in the same location for 23 years and is now in a 100’ building which houses a huge inventory. Along with his custom saddles and tack he carries a

Golian’s stock in trade is his Golian’s Elite Custom Series. He has made custom saddles and tack for horses and mules as well as miniature ponies and draft horses. “I can build a saddle and everything to go with it,” Golian said. He is understandably proud of the shop and the reputation his custom handiwork has earned him.

Pruning Established Fruit Trees

an abundant harvest is experienced every other year with little-to-no fruit in the off years.

A well-maintained tree that receives an appropriate annual pruning will be much easier to maintain than one that does not.

The two primary goals of annual pruning are to maintain appropriate height and spread of the tree, and to ensure the adequate presence of fruiting wood.

The optimal time to do annual pruning on fruit trees is late winter or early spring before bud break. It is best to put off pruning to as late as possible, but before flowering. Pruning at this time allows you to selectively prune out winter damaged fruiting wood and preserve healthy fruiting wood. Additionally, pruning at this time will allow for quicker healing of the wounds created during the pruning process.

RALLS COUNTY FARMS Reducing Losses When Feeding Hay to Beef Cattle Robert Kallenbach, Agronomy Specialist University of Missouri Extension

Feeding hay to cattle is expensive. Recent analyses show that hay costs between $0.02 and $0.07 per pound of dry matter; usually more than double the cost for the same amount of nutrients from pasture.

Hay is expensive because: It requires a large investment in equipment It requires labor to make and feed More than 50 percent of it is wasted by either poor storage methods or improper feeding practices, or both (Figure 1).

Feeding methods No matter how hay is packaged, if you waste it, you lose money. Below are some general rules that can help minimize waste during feeding.

Feed hay in small amounts or in a feeder to minimize waste (Table 1).

When fed a limited amount of hay at a time, cattle have less opportunity to trample and soil the hay. Feeding hay in a rack or a “hay ring” also limits the opportunity that animals have to trample or soil hay, and will reduce waste substantially if you intend to provide more than a day’s worth of hay at one time.

Feed hay in well-drained areas If you intend to feed hay in a single location all winter, then providing a footing such as crushed gravel or even concrete can help minimize problems with mud. Perhaps more cost effective is to move hay-feeding areas around the farm to minimize the damage to any one area of the pasture.

Feed hay stored outside before hay stored inside Hay stored outside usually has more spoilage during storage and lower palatability than hay stored inside. Cattle will waste a

greater percentage of poorquality hay than they will of good-quality hay. Animals fed high-quality hay early in the season will often refuse poor-quality hay when it is offered later.

Big packages Large bale systems are designed to minimize labor, not waste. It is important to remember that outside storage of large bales will increase hay losses due to weather-related spoilage.

Spoiled, rotted, or moldy hay is often refused by all but the hungriest of cattle and will result in more waste during feeding.

Large round bales The simplest system for feeding large round bales is to set the bale in the pasture or feeding area where the stock have free access to hay. This system does not require the purchase of any extra equipment for feeding, but it is prone to high feeding losses. Losses are greatest when a severalday supply of hay is fed at one time. Feeding a oneday supply of hay each day minimizes waste but increases labor costs. When feeding large round bales without a ring or rack, a good way to estimate how many bales to have available each day is to figure one cow per foot of outside diameter of the bale. Even then, feeding losses can be excessive.

A better system for feeding large round bales is to set the bale in the pasture or feeding area but limit access to the hay with a rack or hay ring (Figure 2). This system requires an initial investment in hay racks or rings (hay rings usually cost about $125 each), but feeding losses are low, even if a seven-day supply of hay is left at one time. Feeding hay in racks or rings is cru-

Mama Mia’s Eat In or Take Out

cial for producers who do not or cannot feed hay to their cattle on a daily basis.

When hay rings are used, you need to consider the space available around the feeder. Most hay rings have enough space for approximately 10 cows at a time. The more aggressive cows will eat first and consume the more desirable hay. Cows that are more timid will be forced to eat the lower-quality material or go hungry. To make the most efficient use of hay rings, you may need to purchase several rings and feed more bales at one time.

As an example, a 30-cow herd would consume one 900-pound round bale per day. To feed a 30-cow herd, we could use one hay ring that is filled daily. But a better alternative would be to use three hay rings that are filled every three days.

This gives every cow in the herd an opportunity to get the hay she needs, in addition to cutting labor costs.

Similar calculations can be used with other types of hay feeders.

The MU Forage Systems Research Center has developed a low-labor system for feeding large round bales in hay rings (Figure 3). In this system, the bales are grouped in a corner of the pasture before winter feeding time (often at harvest) to reduce labor, tractor use, and pasture damage from running trucks or tractors during muddy conditions.

Bales are spaced on 20-foot centers. The number of bales per paddock is based on bale size, herd size and planned length of stay. Using our earlier example of a 30-cow herd, we would need one 900-pound bale

per day. So placing 10 bales in The bale storage area is blocked off with electric fencing. When the hay is needed, the fence is moved and rings are placed around a two- or three-day supply of hay. This process allows cattle access to ample feed, minimizes waste and still allows for the distribution of manure over several paddocks. One big advantage of this system is that a three-day supply of hay for 50 cows can be fed in about 15 minutes. This system works well with management-intensive grazing systems where bales are stored in several paddocks.

Another popular system is to unroll the bale and feed it on the ground as loose hay (Figure 4). In addition, several equipment manufacturers sell “bale processors” that chop hay and deposit it in a windrow for feeding. Both of these systems are labor intensive and can result in high trampling and soiling loss-

quires an initial investment of $60,000 to $100,000.

In Missouri, producers most often feed large square bales in racks or bunks or they grind the bales for inclusion in a total mixed ration (TMR).

As with big round bales, allowing cattle free access to these bales will increase waste, because it usually provides too much forage at once and excess hay is trampled, soiled and left uneaten. A good way to feed these bales is to place them in specially designed racks with solid bottom guards or to use collapsible racks or fencing that will limit access to the hay.

A second alternative is to “flake” and scatter the hay on the pasture, although feeding losses can be excessive if too much hay is fed at one time.

Loose haystack-forming wagons Formed haystacks have declined in popularity over the past 15 years. As with large round and large square bales, formed haystacks are designed to minimize handling and feeding costs. The stacks are often as large as 12 feet tall and contain 3 to 6 tons of hay.

es if too much hay is fed at one time. If a three-day (or longer) supply of hay is unrolled or “processed” and left for cattle to consume on their own, feeding losses of 40 percent or more can be expected. However, if fed on a daily basis, feeding losses run about 12 percent.

One advantage of unrolling or processing bales is that it gives you the opportunity to move the hay feeding areas around the pasture and distribute manure Large square bales Large square bales (approximately 4 foot x 4 foot x 8 foot) are increasing in popularity, especially with commercial hay growers (Figure 5). These bales are popular with western hay producers because Large square bales are densely packed (18 to 30 pounds of hay per cubic foot), which minimizes transportation costs.

They are easily handled and loaded with a minimum of labor.

Large square balers are high-capacity machines that can harvest as much as 20 tons of hay per hour.

Despite these advantages, this system is impractical for small hay producers because the equipment re-

Hay Feeding... Continued from page 10 These bales are usually fed in one location with some sort of movable fencing or compressing gate system.

Another inexpensive yet effective system is to use an electric fence to limit access to the bale. The size of the stack should provide enough hay for the herd to consume in a single week or less if no feeder or barrier system is used. Even then, feeding losses will be high. Because these stacks are usually fed in place, the feeding area often becomes muddy. Selecting a welldrained site for storage and feeding is critical.

Small packages Feeding small hay bales is labor intensive but reduces waste if fed properly.

Small hay bales can be fed intact, in bunks or racks or spread throughout the field. Since you usually have greater control over the amount of hay available to the cattle, these bales often have low trampling and soiling losses.

Small round bales Small round bales (usually weighing 100 pounds or less) are inexpensive to feed and are usually left in the field after baling. The downside to this sort of bale, often called a “rotobale,” is that the equipment is not manufactured anymore and it is low capacity.

Producers often feed these bales in conjunction with stockpiled tall fescue.

Access to the bales must

be limited in some way or cattle will quickly destroy and waste much of the hay.

This is very important. Using electric fencing or other barriers to prevent access to more than a one- or twoday supply of feed can cut waste threefold (Table 1).

Small square bales Using small square bales will usually result in low feeding losses if fed properly. Small square bales should be fed in bunks or racks whenever possible to minimize trampling and soiling losses. However, it is possible to distribute small square bales in daily amounts throughout a pasture without too much hay being trampled or wasted (Figure 6). This can be advantageous in that it further distributes manure throughout the pasture. The downside to using small square bales is the high labor requirement.

Handling and feeding costs are two to four times more expensive than for large round bales.

Summary No matter what size hay package or feeding style you use, some hay will be lost or wasted. Proper feeding management minimizes these losses. Since hay is some of the most expensive feed used on beef operations, it makes sense to try to keep waste as low as possible through good management practices.

How To Reduce Your Chances of Liter Fertilizer and Chemical Becoming a Victim of a Rural Crime John Liter worked for grow and DeKalb seeds,

by Ralls County Sheriff Gerry Dinwiddie

There are many things that you can do to help reduce your chances of becoming a victim of a rural crime.

Thieves seem to be looking for any kind of a small mechanical device, such as hand tools, air compressors, or generators. Often they are looking for structures to use for the process of cooking illicit drugs, and will often take the opportunity to steal whatever is in their sight.

Many thefts occur on properties with abandoned homes or absentee owners. Today with many farmers and their families also balancing off-farm jobs, equipment can be stolen while they’re away, sometimes in the middle of the day. One of the best deterrents for both situations is for farmers to develop relationships with neighbors, so they can watch after each other’s property. It seems like thieves perceive thefts on farms to be a little less risky than going into someone’s home because of a farms’ rural location.

By following a few of these guidelines you can help decrease your chance of becoming a victim of farm crime: • Keep valuable equipment and tools in a secure facility.

• Lock equipment with cabs, barn doors, sheds, toolboxes and other on-farm facilities after use.

• Purchase locks for buildings that don’t have locks or block their entrances.

• Never leave keys to equipment or buildings on or near them, as thieves may easily find them.

• Close gates after leaving the property.

• Take inventory, including photos, descriptions and any identifying numbers, of all tools and equipment and store this information in a safe place.

• Report any suspicious activity to the sheriff ’s office.

• Keep large or expensive equipment at a location within sight of home or in a well lit area.

• Use lockable fuel caps on machinery, and lock bulk fuel tanks.

• Purchasing security cameras, game cameras or alarm systems are a major deterrent for crime and are also a valuable tool in apprehending criminals.

AREA VITALS Lady Tigers capture North Shelby Tourney title The Mark Twain Lady Tigers had a diversified week of softball. They took home wins over Clark County (5-0) and Hannibal (7-2), lost a game to Centralia (4-0) and in the North Shelby Tournament took home the tourney title with wins over Marion County (160), North Shelby, in the semifinal (9-0) and defeated Scotland County in the tourney final 5-3.

Clark County Kenzie Grossmann mowed down Clark County batters striking out 6 while allowing 3 walks, 4 hits and no runs in the Lady Tigers 5-0 shutout of Clark County.

Offensively, Grossman drove in 2 runs as did Kaitlyn Young and Alicia Cole added an RBI. Cole was 3 for 4 with 2 runs scored; Victoria Thompson added a double; Grossmann was a perfect 2 for 2 at the dish; Kaitlyn Whatley was 2 for 3; Young had a hit and scored a run; and Madeline Gilbert ripped a single in the contest.

Centralia Versus Centralia, Kenzie Grossmann pitched a solid 7 innings, surrendered only a single earned run on 5 hits, struck out 4 and walked 2 Lady Pan-

ther batters. Centralia’s two big bats were skunked

by Grossmann who allowed only a single walk to the two heavy hitters.

Offensively, Grossmann was 1 for 3 at the plate while Alicia Cole added two bases on balls and catcher Chloe Majors added a sac fly.

“Our defense was a little shaky tonight, but we also made some great plays,” said Lady Tiger Coach Stacey Grossmann.

“Last year Centralia’s pitcher (Douglas) pitched a perfect game against us and struck out 18. Tonight we put 9 balls in play and got a hit, walked twice and had a hit batter. I am really proud of our girls for their hitting. We did not go up there looking we went up there swinging the bat.”

Hannibal Mark Twain scored a single run in the first, added two more in the second and plated a four spot in the fourth to seal their 7-2 win over Hannibal.

In the first, Kaitlyn Whatley singled, immediately stole second and scored on an RBI single from pitcher Kenzie Grossmann. Grossmann definitely helped her cause with a solid day at

the dish going 3 for 4 with 2 doubles and 5 RBIs. In the second, a Grossmann double scored her battery mate Chloe Majors who had reached on an error. Taylor Picton then singed home courtesy runner Jayme Hudson.

In the six inning uprising, Kaitlyn Young singled, took second on Madeline Gilbert’s fielders choice, moved to third on a passed ball and scored on Kaelee Ogle’s single. With the sacks full of Lady Tigers, Whatley, Victoria Thompson and Ogle, Grossmann hit her second double of the contest - a base clearing drive that finished the Lady Tiger scoring and sealed their 7-2 win.

Grossmann’s line saw her pitch 7 innings, surrender 2 runs (1 earned), on 2 hits while walking 1 and striking out 12 Lady Pirates.

North Shelby Tournament Rather than seed the teams the North Shelby Tournament officials placed teams in brackets that did not see each other during the season.

Mark Twain faced Marion County in the first round. the players and fans for Marion County had to look quick to see the game. Pitcher Kenzie Grossmann and her teammates made short work of the game winning 16-0 in a three inning mercy rule shortened contest. Grossmann struck out 5 of the 9 batters she faced. All other line items had a 0 - no hits, runs, walks.

Offensively, the Lady Tiger bats were smoking. Grossmann ripped a belt high fast ball over the center field fence for 1 of her 5 RBIs. Grossmann was perfect at the plate going 3 for 3 with 3 extra base hits (2 doubles and a homer); Kaitlyn Whatley

was 1 for 2, a walk, RBI, and 2 runs scored; Chloe Majors was 2 for 3 with an RBI and 2 runs scored; Victoria Thompson was 3 for 3 with a double, 5 RBIs and 3 runs scored; Taylor Picton was also a perfect 3 for 3, had a double, an RBI and scored a run; Kyley Barnes was 1 for 3 and scored a run; McKenzie Johnston was 1 for 2 and scored a run; and Kaelee Ogle was 1 for 2, scored 2 runs and added an RBI. North Shelby Grossmann pitched a one hitter versus North Shelby on her way to a trip to the finals. She struck out 19 hitters in her 7 innings of work.

Driving in runs were Kaitlyn Whatley, Victoria Thompson (2), Grossmann (3), Kaitlyn Young and Taylor Picton.

The battery of Grossmann and Chloe Majors each added a double while Grossmann also tripled in the contest.

Scotland County In the 5-3 championship game, Mark Twain scored in the second inning when McKenzie Johnston singled and scored courtesy runner Jayme Hudson for the first Lady Tiger run.

In the seventh frame, Madeline Gilbert singled, then Kaelee Ogle singled, Chloe Majors singled loading the bases. Victoria Thompson singled home Gilbert and then Kenzie Grossmann cleared them all with a double to the fence.

Grossmann’s pitching line saw her scatter 2 hits while allowing 3 runs (1 earned) with a walk and 8 K’s.

The Lady Tigers host Highland on Thursday, Sept. 19 and Canton on Friday, Sept. 20, travel to Louisiana on Monday, Sept. 23 and Monroe City on Tuesday, Sept. 24.

Four local ladies participate in some sort of extreme participation event – a marathon, triathlon, long-range bicycle ride or some other physically taxing event. They run, bike, swim or walk for individual reasons but all looking to help better themselves physically and mentally.

Sue Walker

Monroe County Sheriff Department Deputy Sergeant Sue Walker has had a busy year. She participated in the Oklahoma City Marathon event by doing the Oklahoma City 5K, did a triathlon earlier this year in Cameron, her hometown and most recently participated in the MS 150 bicycle event.

“I did the MS 150 ride because a

number of people in my life have been affected by MS,” said Sergeant Walker.

“As for the triathlon, I am trying to get friends to challenge themselves – also since it was my hometown and my Dad was excited about it being close and he could watch me and experience it with me.”

Margaret and Robert Wilkerson have been inducted into the Missouri 4-H Hall of Fame.

Combined, Margaret and Robert Wilkerson have devoted over 50 years to Monroe County 4-H. The 4-H Motto, “To make the best better” describes how the Wilkersons have operated during their joint 4-H career. Margaret and Robert developed a county-wide Outdoorsman program to teach 4-H-ers about nature and our Missouri heritage. They chaperoned annual county-wide float trips throughout the 1980s and 1990s and joyfully tell stories about those trips - the sandy burgers, boots that don’t float, and fourteen degree autumn nights. Monroe County 4-H thanks them both for striving to develop leadership and citizenship, as well as responsibility and stewardship of the land. They have been an asset in developing the clubs in Monroe County, and are currently involved in the Holliday Horizons 4-H Club, which now is the largest club in the County!

The Missouri 4-H Foundation recognizes the work of 4-H friends and volunteers, through annual recognition and awards programs.

Individuals who have created exceptional legacies of service and dedication to 4-H are recognized and honored with membership in the Missouri 4-H Hall of Fame.

The Hall of Fame induction ceremony is held annually during the Missouri State Fair. Each inductee (or their surviving family members, if awarded posthumously) is recognized and presented with a plaque. Families and friends of the inductees are invited to attend the ceremony and reception.

Eligibility Induction into the Missouri 4-H Hall of Fame caps a lifetime of 4-H involvement. Individual nominees must have at least 20 years of volunteer service.

Only county 4-H councils may nominate inductees for their contributions to the lives of 4-H members and the overall 4-H program.

The Missouri 4-H Foundation may nominate at-large inductees.

Current staff members are ineligible for this award.

Retired or deceased MU Extension 4-H Youth faculty or staff, who volunteered at least 20 years, are eligible.

Cowboy Church founders Janis and Steve Miller

There is a new church in Paris Just As I am Cowboy Church.

Church services will be held each Thursday evening beginning with a meal at 6 p.m., and then services beginning at 7 p.m.

The church will be located behind U.S. Cellular, at 25767 U.S. Business 24, in Paris.

The first service will be held on Thursday, Sept.. 26.

Steve Miller will be pastor of the new church. He will be assisted in this ministry by his wife Janis.

“The church will have a “come as you are” attitude.

“We want people to just be able to come when they get off work, no matter how they are dressed or what they look like,” said Miller.

“We are unconventional and informal. Anyone is completely welcome” Miller was quick to note that the new church is not looking to take away from the other denomina-

tions it is just trying to reach those who do not go to a traditional building, and are looking for an informal type setting.

“I am a conservative pastor and will teach from the Bible,” said Miller.

“We welcome anybody,” added Miller. “Christian - non-Christian we do not care.”

Miller has been a pastor since 1996, where he served as pastor for three years in Hartsburg. Since then they have been participating in full time evangelism ministry since 1998 traveling on the road.

“The love of god is for everyone,” said Pastor Miller when asked why individuals should attend the new church.

“We will have good food, good fellowship and good music,” said the Millers about the new church.

The Millers both invite everyone to attend the first service on Thursday, Sept. 26.

It’s Not Easy

BY DAVID EALES EDITOR appeal@parismo.net

Fall TV Season... It is that time of year when television turns to new shows to help boost ratings, sell advertising, gain new viewers and give its program schedule an overhaul.

It seems the same can be said for us. Fall is the time when we get a chance to help make things better and to expand ‘our” program schedule.

I interviewed four amazing ladies this week in preparation of an article on why they participate in marathons, triathlons and other physical activities. I was in awe of their stories and accomplishments some done by sheer determination and will.

This is the time of year when we can make a difference - we can participate in the numerous fall activities, we can decorate our homes for the season and make it a season of giving - whether financially or of our time, which is sometimes even more valuable than actual money.

Students have been circulating around town and selling yearbook ads, the 4-H clubs are busy preparing all their paperwork for the annual meeting - there is a buzz in the air reflecting the

I grew up the daughter of a teacher and I saw how much my mom poured her heart into every child she encountered. I feel we as parents sometimes forget how challenging of a job it can be.

It is also one of those things that we really do not understand what it is like until we have done it ourselves.

changing of the seasons as fall approaches and we prepare to put summer behind us.

It is a time of year for banquets and festivals, parades and homecomings. It is a time to put away the trappings of summer and decorate (well not all of us can decorate like Steve Hancock) and bake, and crate crafts. It is the time of year for us to gain a new perspective as we prepare for the Christmas season.

The shows are new, we are somewhat new, the town is new, attitudes are new - it is that time.

I challenge you that for every “new” show you watch on television this Fall season - do one act of “newness” for yourself or for others. It will have a marked impact on you, on others and on our community. Tis the season to be jolly! Have a great week!

A teacher is someone who raises our children Monday through Friday 8:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m., minus some holidays, nine months out of a year. We might not have looked at it this way but it is true. They are responsible for keeping them safe, teaching them, disciplining them, and encouraging them while pushing them to move forward to become the person they can be. And those are the same things we as parents are responsible for when they are in our care. Okay, now we know how hard it is to do all this with the three to four children we might have so imagine adding another fifteen to twenty children which is about the average size of a teacher’s classroom.

Wow! That is a job. I have a hard enough time keeping

It saddens me when I hear a lot of parents blame the teachers for the problems their children are having at school. Now I am not going to say every teacher is doing the best job they possibly can because we all know that is not always the case(just like in any profession) but I believe there are a lot more loving, caring and dedicated teachers then there are mean, uncaring and selfish ones. We can not let some bad experiences with one teacher be the deciding factor for all teachers. We need to allow teachers to have an off day. They are human. We all have off days at our job and I know most of us have off days with our children.

If our children are driving us crazy with their back talk and their disobedience don’t we think they might also be driving their teachers crazy?

If we feel like the teacher is picking on our child, we should consider some things before we start blaming the teacher. We need to take an honest look at our child’s past history in school and their history at home. Have they gotten in trouble in the years past with other teachers? Do they have a hard time listening to you or following your rules at home? Do they talk back to you? If the answer to most of these questions is yes then we might want to first deal with our child before blaming it on the teacher.

Now most of us parents know that our children have their version of what happened and it is usually a version that makes them appear to be innocent. Just remember there are two sides to every story. If after weighing all this out we still feel our child has been wronged then we need to set up a meeting with the teacher and work out a solution together.

I want to thank each and every teacher who has hung in there through the ups and downs of teaching and continued to pour out their time, love and hearts to make an impact on a child’s life.

You are so vitally important to this world. Thank you for accepting the call.

If our children are listening to the teacher, doing what they are told and not causing disturbances then they are more than likely not going to get in trouble. If we are allowing our children to back talk us, not listen and be disobedient then they are more than likely going to also act this way towards their teachers. Now there might be some instances when our child gets blamed for talking when they didn’t but is that really a reason to go off on the teacher? Do we think that gives us permission to talk badly about the teacher and eve worse talk about them in front of our children? I do not know about you but I have blamed the wrong child in my house and I do not think that makes me a bad parent but it does make me human and shows I make mistakes.

What if we took the opportunity to teach our child something when they come home and tell us the teacher got after them for talking when it wasn’t them? What if we explained to them that the teacher has a lot of students to look after in class and that sometimes they make mistakes just like we all do. This would teach our children how to be compas-

As Time Goes By

Chris Koster, A Second Look that you should at least dry off from your baptism before you become a preacher, hasn’t changed.

What has changed is my opinion of Chris Koster.

He has done a very good job as Attorney General.

He has worked as well as any Democrat could with the Republican majority in the Legislature. The two letters that he sent to Speaker Jones on the legal problems with House Bill 253, the tax cut bill and House Bill 436, the gun law bill, were cogent and convincing. In addition, when Mr. Koster switched parties he did not abandon all of his conservative or moderate beliefs and it may be very good for liberal Democrats to reciprocate and support a moderate or even a conservative candidate for Governor in recognition of the many times conservatives and moderate Democrats had no choice but to support candidates much more liberal than they were in past elections. Chris Koster might once again be in the right place at the right time in 2016. And yes Yogi, it probably is not a coincidence.

MONROE COUNTY HISTORY

MY TURN

Our Missouri Attorney General, Chris Koster, is starting to look like a winner in the next race for Governor. Over the past six years or so Mr. Koster had given me an itch that I really couldn’t scratch. His 2007 decision to switch from being a Republican State Senator to the Democratic party and subsequent run as a Democrat for Attorney General didn’t sit right with many of us. As the great sports philosopher, Yogi Berra, once said “there were too many coincidences for it to be coincidental.” The Republican nominee for Attorney General, Michael Gibbons, would have been very hard to defeat for the Republican nomination. But the Democratic field had two lesser known and not as well financed candidates, Margaret Donnelly and Jeff Harris. Koster defeated the two Democrats in the primary of 2008 and bested Mr. Gibbons in the general election. He went on to defeat the Republican, Ed Martin, in the 2012 election for Attorney General. My original reaction to the epiphany of Mr. Koster and his political career,

The shotgun shells were Mark Twain Quail Forever’s annual donation made in support of high school shooting sports. Bob Riley, chapter member, stated that he looks forward to this presentation each year.

“Seeing the youth, along with their excitement and enthusiasm about conservation and shooting sports, is encouraging for individuals such as me.

Centralia and Madison teams will receive the same amount of shells in the near future.

Team sponsors all agree that donations such as these are very important as the teams use large quantities of shells for practice and events. Teams are asked to be involved and participate in various Quail Forever projects held throughout the year, such as the fund-raising banquet and in conservation preservation projects.

Mark Twain QF members making the presentations included Bob Riley, Verle Hugenot, Jamie Ebbes-

Monroe County Continues Movement Towards Work Ready Community

Monroe County continues to make great progress in being a Certified Work Ready Community.

Just a few short weeks ago Monroe County which is a portion of Moberly Area Economic Development Corporation’s service region was named a Certified Work Ready Community In Progress. Having earned this designation has set the four-county region apart in terms of its workforce development efforts.

“We truly have a skilled workforce in our region,” says Corey Mehaffy, President of Moberly Area Economic Development.

“Becoming a Certified Work Ready Community is a partnership between our business community and our education profes-

sionals to continue to develop the skills of the next generation worker.”

Thirty-six employers in the region involved the industries of manufacturing, financial services; food service, education; health care and local government have all agreed to recognize the National Career Readiness Certificate as a credential of a perspective employee’s skills. Nine of those partnering employers are located in Monroe County.

The National Career Readiness Certificate is earned when a perspective employee completes the Work Keys assessment which gauges their skills in the areas of reading, comprehension, math and the ability to problem solve. “These

are all important skills that employers need,” said Mehaffy. “Our partnership is moving the effort to improve these skills to a higher level that will improve worker performance.”

The partnership for the enhanced development of worker skills included five educational institutions in the region. Four school districts have joined the partnership along with Moberly Area Community College. “We appreciate the partnership of our education institutions in this project”, said Mehaffy.

“The community colleges and vocational training centers in the region are a vital portion of preparing our workforce for future opportunities.”

Businesses interested in learning how the Certified Work Ready program will benefit them should contact Moberly Area Economic Development at 660-263-8811 to learn how they can benefit from. Individuals interested in learning how they can achieve their National Career Readiness Certificate through the program can also contact Moberly Area Economic Development or visit their local Missouri Career Center for more details.

Madison C-3 Board of Education rebids snow removal for the district The Madison C-3 Board of Education met in regular session at 7 p.m., on Wednesday, Sept.

Citizen’s communications were heard. David Gaines, of Moberly Area Economic Development presented information

regarding Missouri’s National Career Readiness Program and other area economic goals. The Board approved partnering with Missouri’s National Career Readiness Certificate program.

The Principal’s report was presented by Trisch Vessar. Topics included discipline, attendance/ enrollment, distance learning and good news.

Lesa Rapert presented the Superintendent’s report which included the legislative update regarding HB253 and HB1035, building and grounds update, transportation up-

date, and assessment/AYP data. The board members approved continuing less than-a-mile transportation for the 2013-14 school year with two intown stops located at N. Franklin/151 N., and Olive Streets and the daycare on West Cooper Street.

Hunger is more common in Missouri than in the nation as a whole, a new report documents.

One in six households in Missouri struggled with hunger on average in the years 20102012, according to new data released this week by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Economic Research Service in its annual report on food insecurity. Nationally, more than 48.9 million people lived in households that were food insecure in 2012 – 14.1 percent of all adults and 21.6 percent of all children lived in food insecure households.

These new food insecurity numbers come as Members of Congress are preparing to return next week from their August recess. The Farm Bill remains on Congress’ agenda, and the House majority leadership – which passed earlier this summer a partial Farm Bill that did not include a nutrition

title – is expected to introduce a bill that would strip $40 billion in funding from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, formerly known as food stamps), throwing millions of people out of the program.

“Pantries across Missouri report that a growing number of working poor families are coming to them asking for food,” Koenen notes. “All too often, the pantries don’t have enough food to give the families what they need. The USDA report documents what we’re seeing in every corner of or state, the spread of hunger in America’s heartland.”

According to the report, food insecurity has increased by 3.9 percent in the U.S. over the past decade. During the same timeframe, food insecurity in Missouri has increased by nearly seven percent.

Among the 16.7 percent of people living in

households in Missouri considered to be food insecure during the 2010-2012 period, 7.6 percent were considered to be in households with “very low food security.”

Households that fall into this USDA category had more severe problems, experiencing deeper hunger and cutting back or skipping meals on a more frequent basis for both adults and children.

The public also rejects proposals to cut SNAP. Recent polling by Hart Research Associates for FRAC shows that Americans of all types oppose cuts to SNAP, and they believe the government should – and must – do more to address hunger.

About the USDA Report: Since 1995, the Unit-

ed States Department of Agriculture, using data from surveys conducted annually by the Census Bureau, has released national and state estimates of the number of people in households that are food insecure.

Food insecure households are those that are not able to afford an adequate diet at all times in the past 12 months. For states, USDA uses threeyear averages to give a better estimate (with a smaller margin of error) of the number of households experiencing food insecurity. Experts agree that the Census/USDA measure of food insecurity is a conservative one, with the result that only households experiencing substantial food insecurity are so classified.

16.7 Percent of Missouri households are still struggling with hunger

Land of Smiles program visits Holliday C-2

Tooth decay is the leading chronic infectious disease among children in our nation. It causes pain and can interfere with a child’s ability to eat, speak, smile and concentrate, and has the potential to affect one’s systemic health. To help combat this issue, Delta Dental of Missouri is educating and inspiring children to adopt healthy life habits through its upbeat and interactive, touring “Land of Smiles” program.

Thanks to the newly established collaboration with the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services’ (DHSS) Preventive Services Program, the show now also underscores the importance of fluoride varnishes. The 2013 tour made its most recent stop recently at Holliday C-2 School, in Holliday.

The “Land of Smiles” show features the Tooth Wizard and his ongoing crusade to help kids have

healthy teeth. The show’s characters get the children excited about brushing and flossing properly and visiting the Tooth Wizard’s “best friend,” the dentist. They also discuss what foods are good and bad for teeth and overall health, the importance of having fluoride varnishes applied to teeth, eating right, exercising daily and making healthy choices.

Tooth Wizard came bearing gifts for the students at Holliday C-2.

Each child was sent home with a “smile bag” from Delta Dental, packed with a toothbrush, toothpaste, floss, an educational coloring sheet and a mirror decal reminding them to brush twice each day. After the show, the school nurses received a Land of Smiles curriculum kit that can be used to help reinforce the good oral health messages of the show in the classroom. The kit includes a mouth model and large toothbrush, four children’s books, a sing-along CD and a Land of Smiles DVD. “This cast of characters has been traveling Missouri highways for more than a decade teaching and inspiring kids in Continued to page 9

Life Insurance That Can Refund Your Money

By Nancy Baca, State Farm® Agent

You carry life insurance to protect the ones you love from financial hardship if you should die. But what if that policy could refund money to you and your family while you’re alive?

That’s the premise behind Return of Premium life insurance. Here’s what to know about this coverage.

What is Return of Premium life insurance?

Return of Premium life insurance is a term policy with a level premium period of either 20 or 30 years.

At the end of the term, if the death benefit has not been paid and you’ve made regular premium payments, you’ll be refunded the money you’ve paid over the level premium period less any loan and accrued loan interest on the policy.

The return of premiums typically amount to tens of thousand dollars—and you can use that money however you wish.

What are the benefits?

In addition to the protection that the policy affords your loved ones: The money you get back from a Return of Premium policy is generally tax-free.

You can use the refund any way you choose—to help pay off a mortgage, fund college tuition, boost your retirement savings or something else.

Over the level premium period, your policy will build cash value and you can borrow against that during the initial term period.

The death benefit of your policy is generally income tax-free.

If you have one or more other policies with your insurer, adding this coverage may make you eligible for discounts.

What else should you consider?

To keep the policy from lapsing, you’ll need to make regular premium payments for 20 to 30 years.

Learn more about the Return of Premium policy from State Farm®, or contact your State Farm agent for details.

Granv “Be rooted and built up in Him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.” Colossians 2:7 Greetings from FaithWalk Ministries – Bishop Harold G. Long, Pastor Morning worship service began at 10:30 a.m.

“Oh Lord, How Excellent” – sung by FaithWalk Choir Opening Prayer by Minister Debra Adams Scripture by Elder Helen Fugate – Psalm 34 “Emmanuel” – sung by FaithWalk Choir Offering (Seed Planting) was directed by Minister Kelly Ballenger.

Our Vision and Mission Statements were read in unison, declaring that FaithWalk Ministry’s constant goal is the work of, “Building and Sustaining Strong Communities by Breaking the Cycle of Addictive Failures.”

“We Need You Lord” – sung by FaithWalk Choir Bishop Long’s message was entitled, “Divine Intervention!”

Habakkuk 1:1-5-God will divinely intervene even when it seems as though your enemy is beating you to the point of death and even when you don’t know the danger and how close it is to taking you out.

Habakkuk 2:14, 2-4-God’s ultimate purpose – is to fill the earth with the knowledge of Himself, through the people He placed here on the earth. Verse 2 – write what is seen in the invisible that the people cannot grasp. Verse 4 – Your faith will justify your living.

Habakkuk 1:14-17 – describes the work of the enemy.

Habakkuk 2:1-see what is being said when you are corrected so as not make the same mistake.

Habakkuk 3:16-19When you really ‘see’ what God is saying about your divine intervention, it will break you inwardly and snatch the arrogance and pride out of you!

Verse 17-this is a hymn of faith. Habakkuk sung this because of what he saw God speak. Through it all, the just shall live by faith.

Sunday Night: Bishop Long’s continuing message – “Faith and Praise” II Chronicles

16:7-9-Verse 7 – the reason for King Asa’s downfall.

Sometimes in our humanness, we just get tired of the battle. Tiredness comes from our assumptions and presumptions throughout each day. We must bring these imaginative thoughts into captivity. Work from you faith and not your imagination.

Don’t allow your feelings to expose something to the enemy that he otherwise would not know.

Faith and human fear can’t exist together, but faith and reverential fear of God can!

King Asa: operated from what he felt; what he thought he saw; and he did not remember who God was.

Things come to challenge us to fear or to faith.

As with King Asa, it is in our power to believe. According to what and how much we want something, determines how strong our will is. Verse 8-rely on God in EVERY situation just as you have done in the past. He is still the same God. Verse 9-No matter where I go, God is already there in the circumstance, strongly working on my behalf.

God will show Himself strong in your emotions, passions and feelings, if you have faith, making you a conqueror! It is important to know how God views from His perception. How? His perception is always about His purpose. You have to trust God even when it seems that things will not work out for you (example: Joseph).

Proverbs 22:12-The Word God gives you, He preserves it in you to overthrow the words of the enemy. Know that the enemy’s words can change you if you let them, but they can NEVER change God’s Word!

Announcement: FaithWalk Ministries, Inc. is pleased to invite you to join with us in Celebration of our Bishop and First Lady Long! The Anniversary service will be on Oct. 19, at 1 p.m.

Everyone is welcome to come and worship with us: Tuesday at 7pm, Wed. - Men and Women Support groups at 6 p.m., Thursday at 7 p.m., and Sunday at 10:30 a.m., and 7 p.m. God bless you!

I have long regarded Discernment as a spiritual gift that should be most highly coveted among Christians. In this day and age, men wax bold in their deceptions against one another: manifesting that which is wicked within them. Sin is in the nature of all mankind, and none are innocent.

Opportunities abound in this Information Technologies generation, enhancing the challenges against sane living. A friend recently commented having noticed a family in a restaurant: Dad and Mom were busy playing with their smart phones as the children entertained themselves. While remote communication is in vogue, personal relationships are ignored.

Yet Mark 12: 30 teaches us, “ And you shall love the Lord your God with

all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ This is the first commandment. And the second, like it, is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.” In this day of media saturation, we need to recognize God’s plan in our lives, and to share with others the life He has given us. And this is where the gift of discernment comes in: for God has made the spiritual gifts available to us for the sole purpose of expanding the ministry by discerning the spiritual needs of those around us.

When we can better recognize and address the needs of our “neighbor”, we then begin to show God’s love to them as He intended.

On Sunday, Sept. 15, church services began with the pastor giving an opening prayer. Regular church meetings of the week were announced and all were encouraged to attend.

Jimmy Steward gave the children’s sermon.

Scripture says to love others as God loves you.

What is temper? Answer: “When someone makes fun of you.” God doesn’t want us to have a temper. God can change

our heart. If we have God in our heart he can help us overcome bad things by changing us. Lindsey Mitchell and Carice Gravot led children’s church.

Reverend Wesley Hammond’s sermon was from James 2:14-19, and was entitled “Faith By Itself Is Dead”. James writes about things we must understand to follow God. To have genuine faith, we must match our faith with deeds.

Neither deeds alone nor faith alone is sufficient. We must check our behavior and what is going on in our heart. Verse 17, “In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action is dead. Genuine faith reveals itself in a person who is obedient to God. Only those in heaven are the ones who do the will of my Father who is in heaven.

•• DID YOU KNOW? •• Black Flag Ties Together...

Across the Middle East a black flag ties together terrorists groups associated with al-Qaida, that have a long time goal of spreading extreme Islamic ideology through the use of Jihad.

Mali- April 2012 Islamist extremists took over main cities and instituted Sharia Law. Northern Mali is a stronghold for al-Qaida. Experts report they are establishing this territory so that they can operate to carry out attacks in Europe and elsewhere.

Yemen-al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula took over “entire towns and villages last year and ousted the long-time ruler.”

Egypt- This country used to be an important ally of the U.S. On July 3rd 2013, Islamist President Mohamed Morsi was ousted by the military. The alQaida leader, Ayman al-Zawahi called for Egyptians to unite and implement Sharia Law. The following countries all have al-Qaida groups operating: Tunisia, Algeria, Libya, Egypt, Sudan, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Iraq, Jordan, Turkey, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran and Jordan.

Source: www.theblaze.com Over the past two weeks the U.S. has begun delivering “light weapons and other munitions.” The United Nations is shipping nonlethal gear to rebels. This includes communications and equipment such as vehicles and medical kits.

This effort is to support rebel fighters called the Supreme Military Council or Free Syrian Army. Source: www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security.

“There are estimated 150,000 rebels in Syria and 15,000 are extremists or associated with al-Qaida.” Source www.motherjones.com According to Dan Layman, a spokesman for the group Syrian Support Group, a US-based nonprofit that is the only organization the Obama administration has authorized to hand out nonlethal US-funded supplies to the rebels, insists it keeps track of who’s receiving this assistance based on handwritten receipts provided by rebel commanders in the field. This spring, one militia leader affiliated with the Free Syrian Army, FSA—his brigade has since been kicked out—was filmed eating a dead Syria soldier’s heart. “This stuff happens rarely, but it’s unfortunate,” Layman says. “With the guy who was eating a heart, he was part of a moderate faction…We work with Idriss and let him know that he needs to prevent these things.”

Over 175 people came out during the afternoon to see what all the buzz was about. There were hands on craft activities for children in the lobby but the big draw of the day was Bee Keeper Bernie Andrew’s presentation on bees. All aspects of bees and bee keeping were discussed but the live viewing hive he brought was the most memorable.

Runners, Etc... Continued from front is going to take a break from training and look toward next yea’s calendar for events to participate in.

“I will definitely participate in the MS 150 next year and look at getting more Monroe County residents involved either by riding or volunteering to help,” added Sergeant Walker.

Dede Mitchell This year Mitchell has participated in the Oklahoma City Marathon (her first), Hospital Hills10K (Kansas City), the aforementioned Cameron triathlon and the MS 150 plus other local 5K events.

“Six years ago my Mom passed away and I knew that I needed to get in gear and get some better health or I was going to fall into her footsteps,” said Mitchell. “I turned 50 this year and a good goal was to do the marathon and everything just came with it.”

Mitchell explained that the marathon was tougher physically but that the MS 150 was more mentally challenging due to the isolation of the event.

One of the stories that Mitchell shared was an emotional telling of meeting “Jenny” near the last miles of the Oklahoma City run and the symbiotic bonding of these two runners, at the end of their endurance – just trying to finish.

When they got closer to the finish line, Jenny saw the time and encouraged Dede for them to finish under five hours. With the support of each other these new found running friends pushed the other and finished in a dead heat at 4 hours, 59 minutes and 2 seconds.

“Set short term goals if you want to be successful,” said Mitchell. “You have to have a long tern goal but you also need short term goals you can reach.”

Anna Crusha

This year Anna has completed the Hospital Hills 10 K and did the Long Distance Sprint Triathlon, in Edwardsburg, Michigan. A triathlon includes a mixture of swimming, bicycle riding and running.

“I am a happier person when I am physically fit and am a better wife and better mother,” said Crusha. “It is a nice stress reliever and I am very goal oriented.”

Crusha explained that to train for the triathlon she did ‘brick” training.

That is basically doing two events back to back when training. Crusha explained that when “brick” training you would ride your bicycle then hit the pool for a swim or you would swim and then run.

“Sign up for an event – whether a 5K or 10 mile bicycle ride, then you are invested and your mentality will change,” said Crusha. “There are tons of training programs online – set a goal and sign up! Make it a priority and take time for yourself.”

Sharon Henderson Eagle Lake Triathlon in Michigan (with Anna Crusha, coming in second in her age group) and the MS 150.

“I do all this because I enjoy riding,” said Henderson.

Henderson explained that to train she did multiple 10 mile rides but just before the event turned to 25 mile rides to prepare.

“I am not very fast but have good endurance,” said Henderson.

“You have to train mentally as well as physically,” said Henderson when asked for a piece of advice to help new riders or runners. “If you can’t keep your mind focused on what you are doing and push yourself to accomplish what you want to do – you are not going to finish.”

Smiles... Continued from page 4 nearly every county in the state,” commented Monica Green, manager, marketing and communications for Delta Dental of Missouri. “But, the program is about more than longevity. It’s about having a proven track record for resonating with children and being a catalyst for change. Dental disease is 100 percent preventable. The formula is simple. You need to brush twice daily, floss and see a dentist twice a year. Other preventive measures can also be taken, like the ap-

plication of fluoride varnish, which strengthens the teeth and helps prevent decay. The Missouri DHSS has a fantastic Preventive Services Program that is also working with schools to provide young students with free access to this type of care.”

Between now and the end of the school year, two separate “Land of Smiles” casts will collectively teach more than 65,000 students at over 320 schools across the state of Missouri.

The Madison Lady Panthers have played good softball lately but have run into the tough part of their schedule playing ranked teams including Sturgeon, Glasgow and Westran.

Versus Glasgow, Breanna Hancock ripped an RBI single scoring Maddison Breid who had coaxed a base on balls and advanced on a passed ball and a fielders choice to get into scoring position.

Westran Samantha LeGrand singled and then scored on a Breanna Hancock single through the infield Jenna Stoebe added a single in the inning also.

LeGrand had a second hit in the game while Hunt-

er Salmons walked and scored on a passed ball as Westran loaded the bases on walks.

Marion County In a three run Madison third inning, Niki Sims walked and Maddison Breid reached on an error.

With two runners on base Samantha LeGrand lifted a ball deep to center for a home run and added 3 RBIs to her season total.

The Lady Panthers will participate in the Paris Tournament on Saturday, Sept. 21. Madison will face top seed Salisbury at 9 a.m., on Field #2. The winner plays the winner of Canton and North Shelby while the losers will also meet at noon on the same field.

The Lady Raiders broke on top early with a 4 run first inning. Paris bounced back with a 2 run second matched by North Shelby in the bottom of the frame.

Paris scored two in the third and two in the fourth to knot the score at 6-6.

North Shelby scored two runs in the fourth to take an 8-6 lead. Paris added a run in the fifth but time ran out on another potential rally and fell 8-7.

Britany Williams, Alex Dreckshage, Rachel Blades and Taylor Redmon each had an RBI in the game.

Abbie Wheelan, Brooke Hunt, Jill Nobis (2), Kaylee Callison (2), Rachel Blades, Josey Ball and Alex Dreckshage each had hits versus North Shelby as Paris pounded out 9 hits. Scoring runs were: Betsy Embree, Hunt (2), Nobis, Callison, Blades and Ball.

The Paris Coyotes are back in the win column with a 2-1 season record after a 48-0 win over North Shelby.

It was a game of firsts and highlights for the Coyotes. Quarterback Kyle Popkes tied a school record with five touchdown passes in the game and Zac Baladenski scored the first rushing touchdown of the season and Laine Forrest had a pick six as he grabbed a Raider pass and returned it 28 yards to the house while Austin Coffman added another interception. Slater Stone had an amazing 5-catch, 148 yard game with a 30 yard average per catch including a 50 yard reception.

Paris scored early and often as Popkes hit a wide-open Brendon Hancock for the Coyotes first score. Forrest then grabbed his interception and raced 28 yards to the end zone.

Popkes then hit Forrest for a 15 yard strike and Baladenski added the two point conversion and Paris led 22-0 at the first intermission.

In the second quarter, in what has been described as Quarterback Kyle Popkes prettiest pass of the season, Popkes hit a streaking Brendon Hancock in stride for an easy 47 yard score. Forrest hit the point after touchdown. Later in the quarter Hancock and Popkes hooked up again this time for a 9 yard score. Forest added his second kick of the quarter and Paris led 36-0 at the half.

In the third quarter Popkes continued his record setting throwing with a 21 yard pass to Slater Stone, who has shown a knack at getting rid of his defenders or skying over them for the reception. In this instance he outraced them to the ball and then also beat them to the end zone. Paris led 42-0 after three periods.

In the fourth quarter, Paris scored their first rushing touchdown of the year with Zac Baladenski behind the downfield blocking of August Hayhurst, Briar Hancock and Kole Berrey dashing 13 yards into the end zone for his rushing touchdown and the 48-0 final.

Defensively, Brody Lehenbauer had a double digit tackle game

with five of those being for a loss and Zac Baladenski led the team with 13 tackles. Laine Forrest and Austin Coffman picked off Raider passes with Forrest returning his 28 yards for a score.

The Coyotes travel to Knox County on Friday, Sept. 20 with a 7 p.m. kickoff.

Statistics Scoring: Kyle Popkes hit Brendon Hancock with a 14 yard pass; Laine Forrest returned a 28 yard interception return; Forrest 15 yard reception form Popkes; Zac Baladenski 2 point

FARM SAFETY and HEALTH

Grain bin safety costs a little, saves a lot

Harvest is here be sure to be safe We all know that harvest time is one of the busiest times for farmers and their families. Working hard to accomplish any task is something to take pride in. Just make sure the long hours don’t have tragic results. With more farm equipment on the road and in the fields at this time, it is essential that more caution be taken while traveling rural area roads. Here are three suggestions to stay safe: Use the buddy system while loading and un-

loading grain.

Allow plenty of time for rest and recuperation, taking breaks often.

Make sure your Slow Moving Vehicle (SMV) is installed and visible to all.

Along with these tips, don’t leave your children clueless when it comes to safety. Communicate the importance of staying away from machinery, not playing too close to the field or road and designate age-appropriate tasks for them to take part in.

It costs less than $500 to make it safer to enter farm grain bins, says a University of Missouri Extension rural safety and health specialist.

“You can’t afford not to follow safe procedures,” says Karen Funkenbusch as the harvest season approaches.

While $500 may sound like a lot, the savings are priceless, she says.

Entering grain bins is dangerous, and farm safety experts say grain producers should develop a “zero entry” mentality. “Stay out of the bin,” Funkenbusch says.

“But if you must enter, do not go alone. Grain entrapment is one of the least understood hazards in today’s family farm operations.”

There are simple, inexpensive safety techniques that can help avoid grain bin fatalities.

First, turn off and disconnect or lock out all power equipment such as augers.

“With today’s high-capacity loading and unloading systems, people are helpless in flowing grain within seconds,” she said. The cost for a lockout kit to prevent this is about $100. The savings are priceless.

“Entrapment by flowing grain can be prevented by restricting access to the grain. Use locks on bin doors and hatches to present unauthorized access,” she added.

And adults should enforce a policy of not allowing riding or playing in grain wagons or other transport vehicles.

Second, use a body harness with an anchored lifeline when entering from a level at or above stored grain.

The harness costs and $250 and 100 feet of rope costs about $100. Savings are priceless.

“Research shows that res-

cuing someone from grain is not easy,” Funkenbusch says. “The force ranges from 325 pounds for an average 165-pound person buried in hip-deep grain, to more than 1,500 pounds to rescue the same person who’s 3 feet under the grain surface!”

Running fans to aerate grain before entering will help improve ventilation, at small cost per kilowatt-hour.

“Never walk on or down the grain to make it flow,” she said. Grain may become crusted on top and might look stable, but the “bridge” might be formed over a large air pocket that will serve as a deadly tunnel in which a person can be sucked into and suffocated within seconds. It costs only seconds to think about safety. The cost for a few extra kilowatts is small; the savings are priceless.

“Have a trained observer outside the bin,” she said.

This person can act as a contact with the person inside the bin and can call for help if needed. The cost, depending on the hourly wage, probably is less than $10.

Again, the savings are priceless.

“Confirm that all safety precautions are in place,” she said. “Always avoid entering a grain storage bin if at all possible, but if you must, follow safe procedures. You can’t afford not to,” Funkenbusch said.

What if there is an accident? Funkenbusch recommends the following: • Shut off all unloading equipment.

• Call 911.

• Stop anyone from entering the scene until trained emergency personnel arrive.

• If the bin has an aeration blower, turn it on to increase the airflow through the bin

to help the entrapped person breathe.

• Assemble equipment such as front-end loaders, shovels, plywood for cofferdams and portable augers for assistance with a rescue.

• If you should become trapped in a grain bin or silo, stay near the outer wall and keep moving. If necessary,

you can walk until the bin is empty or the flow stops.

Work together to help reduce injuries

Courtesy of Marlin McCormic, Farmers Elevator and Exchange Company, Monroe City National Farm Safety and Health week is Sept. 1521. This year’s theme is “Working Together for Safety in Agriculture”. The them reinforces the importance of us all making a joint effort to be sure farmers make it home to their family at night….so do you. There were almost 600 deaths and 70,000 disabling injuries attributed to agriculture in 2010. These figures are especially important during fall harvest season, as many of you and your neighbors will be putting in long hours under the stress of weather delays, equipment breakdowns, and high operating costs.

A few years ago I wrote about a close call with life that my dad endured some 37 years ago when he slipped and fell from a moving combine during corn harvest.

What a joy it has been to spend these years with him and now watch him enjoy his great-granddaughter. By the grace of God he survived. All of us at Farmers Elevator encourage each of you to work together to reduce the number of deaths, injuries and health issues.

Whether you are an equipment dealer, a veterinarian, a farmer, a student, an educator, or simply a friend or relative of a farmer, everyone plays a role in promoting safety. Think of it like cogs in a machine; alone each cog is just one small part of a system, but together, it makes a system work.

We encourage farmers to set some priorities to reduce the risk of injury to their self, to their family, and to their employees. This month, we honor their efforts to prepare our next generation with the knowledge and training they need to stay safe and healthy.

FARM SAFETY and HEALTH

Handy chains can turn deadly without proper handling and care Look in the back of any farm pickup and you’re likely to see a set of rusty log chains that will come in handy when a friend or neighbor gets stuck in a ditch or a field.

But without proper precautions, those handy chains can be deadly, says University of Missouri Extension rural safety and health specialist Karen Funkenbusch.

Every year hundreds of people with neighborly intentions are injured or killed in accidents while trying to pull out a stuck farm vehicle. Lost time in the field means lost money, and that leads many to proceed without caution and proper equipment, Funkenbusch said.

Shortcuts can cause chains, straps and clevises to snap and strike drivers, passengers or bystanders.

Broken metal chains can become deadly missiles that crash through window glass, sending debris flying with tremendous force and speed.

Hooks and links should have a rating capacity equal to the chain and operators should know those ratings.

Know how deep the stuck vehicle is, she said.

If the vehicle is stuck on a slick surface such as snow, it may pull out easily by simply getting the vehicle to move forward, but if the axle is buried, you will need more towing power. You should know if the tailpipe is covered and dig out around the tires to break the suction of the mud. Know the size of the towing equipment and make sure the towing vehicle is large enough.

Apply power slowly and smoothly, and remain calm, Funkenbusch says.

To prevent bro-

ken chains from flying through windshields, Funkenbusch recommends lifting a toolbox lid to protect the back of the truck and raising the hood to protect the front windshield.

Another suggestion is to put a tire on the towing device to weigh it down and prevent it from going through a windshield if it breaks, Funkenbusch said. Also, remember to have nonessential people leave the scene, and never mix alcohol and towing.

Funkenbusch gives the following recommendations on when it is time to call a professional rather than rely on a friend or relative for help: If the towing vehicle’s tires spin and smoke.

If attachments such as chains and straps break.

If multiple chains, ropes or straps are needed.

If you don’t know rated capacity for towing equipment.

If extracting the vehicle requires a running start from the towing vehicle. It is natural instinct to back up and get a running start to yank out equipment, but this is the worst mistake you can make with a chain, because they can snap.

If tempers flare.

It’s one thing to pull out stuck equipment, but quite another when the equipment is carrying potentially hazardous materials such as pesticide spray, fertilizer, liquid manure or fuel. If the stuck vehicle is carrying hazardous material, Funkenbusch offers this advice to protect the environment: Consider unloading materials from the stuck vehicle to reduce weight and prevent spillage. Not

only will this reduce the likelihood of spillage, the load will be lighter. Isolate the pumps and materials.

Inspect hoses and fittings to make sure they are intact and won’t be ripped off as the vehicle is pulled.

Have protective equipment and emergency numbers on hand in case of a spill.

If all else fails, Funkenbusch said, take your time and call a professional. A sense of urgency has been the beginning of many a catastrophe.

There are several things to consider when thinking about preserving tomatoes If you’re lucky, you’re getting delicious fresh tomatoes from your garden.

If you’re even luckier, you have extra that you want to preserve for the months you can’t walk outside and pick some fresh from the garden.

There are several things to consider when thinking about preserving

your tomatoes safely, says Tammy Roberts, a University of Missouri Extension nutrition and health education specialist.

“Vine-ripened, diseasefree, firm tomatoes are the best for canning,” Roberts says. Tomatoes aren’t as acidic as they used to be, so you need to add acid to home-canned tomatoes

Watch for a class coming to your area

to guard against botulism.

Add 2 tablespoons of bottled lemon juice per quart of tomatoes, or 1 tablespoon for pints. You can use 4 four tablespoons of 5 percent vinegar per quart (2 tablespoons per pint) of tomatoes instead of lemon juice, but that can cause undesirable flavor changes.

To remove skins from tomatoes, wash and dip into boiling water for 3060 seconds or until the skins split. (Dipping them with a cheesecloth pouch works well.) Then dip the tomatoes in cold water, remove the skins and cores and crush, halve or leave whole.

Whole, halved or crushed tomatoes can be hot- or raw-packed and processed in a pressure or boiling-water canner.

“Pressure-canned tomatoes don’t look as pretty as tomatoes canned in boiling water, but the pressure-canned tomatoes are a higher-quality, more nutritious product,” Roberts says. You can add 1 teaspoon of canning salt if desired. Leave half an inch of head space.

If using the pressure canner method, crushed tomatoes should be hot-

packed. Pints and quarts can be processed for 20 minutes at 6 pounds of pressure, or for 15 minutes at 11 pounds of pressure. Hot- or raw-packed whole or halved tomatoes packed in water in pints or quarts can be processed for 15 minutes at 6 pounds of pressure or 10 minutes at 11 pounds of pressure.

To process in a boilingwater canner, whether they are hot- or rawpacked in water, pints should be processed for 40 minutes and quarts for 45 minutes. If you are more than 1,000 feet above sea level, increase that time by five minutes.
