Vendors at the Perry Farmer’s Market share their wares with local residents.

The Farmer’s Market in downtown Perry saw more vendors this past Saturday. Produce including sweet corn, green beans, tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers was available. Homemade baked goods and nursery plants were also offered. The Farmer’s Market will be held from 8 a.m. to noon each Saturday through August 30.

Farmers markets are a great place to buy healthy local produce and other foods, meet and support local farmers, and enjoy shopping in a fun environment. But shoppers should also pay attention to food safety when buying and using foods from farmers markets, says a University of Missouri Extension food safety specialist.

“Farmers markets are great and I encourage people to shop at them, but the experience level of the vendors with food safety practices may vary greatly,” says Londa Nwadike, extension consumer food safety specialist for MU and Kansas State University.

“The consumer needs to take a bit more active role in deciding what products to buy and from which vendors,” she says.

Nwadike notes that supermarkets normally have strict food safety inspection and control systems in place to protect their brand. They also have the advantage of a temperature-controlled environment.

“At a farmers market, the same food

safety systems may not be in place,” she says. “At some farmers markets, the manager is very actively encouraging food safety, but at others the managers are volunteers and may not have time to check on food safety.”

Farmers markets do have one food safety advantage, she says. “You can ask the vendors questions about their food safety practices, which you usually can’t do at a supermarket.”

Nwadike recommends looking for clues that can tell you about the vendor’s food safety practices. Surfaces and any knives or other utensils should be clean.

VIEWS AND COMMENTS

From the Editor

Primary Election August 5, 2014 RE-ELECT CONNIE BERRY

Democratic Candidate

Ralls County Collector

Paid for by Connie Berry

WHAT’S ON YOUR BALLOT? As Missourians exercise their right to selfdetermination next Tuesday, the “right to farm” amendment is a topic of much discussion. Though the concept feels warmand-fuzzy, the diversity of the manner in which Missourians engage in agriculture makes a “one size fits all” government package implausible. There are fish farms, tree farms, sod farms, orchards and vineyards, herb farms, wild game ranches, stables, kennels and even worm ranches. Yes, there are also grain operations becoming nearly as large as some counties. Yes, there are also CAFO’s (concentrated animal feeding operations) covering much the same production area as Granite City Steel or Cerro Copper or some small villages. All these farming operations rub up against the general public.

Some rub smoothly, some rub the wrong way.

Amendment I purports to “protect Missouri farmers from ‘arbitrary’ and ‘unreasonable’ regulations…,”according to Missouri Attorney General Chris Koster (as reported in July 25 Quincy HeraldWhig).

In addition to the fact that both the words “arbitrary” and “unreasonable” are highly subjective in interpretation, this amendment invites a myriad of legal disputes between the interpretations of stewards of the land and those of “industrial agriculture.” Casein-point: Missouri Parks Assn and the Village of Arrow Rock vs Mo DNR over the proximity of a 4800 hog CAFO to the local vineyards and tourism industry. DNR (which has become basically a “rubber stamp” for CAFO’s) is now asserting that the judge’s ruling only applies to the one CAFO named in the litigation and not to other like operations.

Is it “arbitrary” for the operator of a boarding stable or of an orchard or a vegetable farm to object to the stench of a CAFO wafting through their source of income?

There would seem to be “reasonable” insistence on the part of an ever-growing number of people for regulation to (as C.W. McCall said in the song, Convoy, “ya wanna back off another few miles, Pig Pen? Them hogs is gittin’ intense.”)

The issue of requiring “scrubbers” on CAFO’s emissions systems as are required on power plants and other industries (which act much like the

catalytic converters on U.S. vehicles and most modern farm tractors) would reduce or eliminate carcinogens and odors and make CAFO’s much more neighborly. This regulation would fit well into a world effort for better air quality.

Biologically, if a person “smells” something it means that particles of that substance have passed over the olfactory sensors in the nasal passage and have nestled into the lungs to rendezvous with oxygen-seeking capillaries. It is most doubtful that feces particles could be less harmful than second hand smoke, coal smoke or vehicle emissions. (And how about all those ordinances against burning leaves and trash – arbitrary? Unreasonable?

It has been said that you can tell how prosperous a farm is by how far the foot-scrapper is from the door. While the land and buildings of a CAFO may be owned by a “farm family,” you can bet that the executive office doors of the wealthy meat processors and distributors are a long way from any CAFO. As Amendment 1 is worded, it seems to give those who can afford the most, and the most expensive lawyers, the greatest opportunity to decide what is “arbitrary” and “unreasonable.”

The “right to farm” should be protected, but let’s send this amendment back to committee until they get it right.

In the same article, Mr. Koster stated that Amendment 1 was important because it would protect farm property from being condemned and taken by “eminent domain.” While I avidly support this concept I am curious as to Mr. Koster’s sincerity in that both he and Governor Nixon (whom Mr. Koster seeks to follow into office) appear to be very quietly nudging the Missouri Public Service Commission to approve “eminent domain” authority for the Grain Belt Express Power Line. With this authority, the promoters can muscle their easement across Missouri’s bean fields, back yards, timber plots (even wildlife habitat on Corps of Engineers’ property), and yes, near or even over some CAFO’s.

The company would also have the right to transit, spray, and strike deals with fiber optic, pipelines, etc. to share the easement.

Does this sound like “right to farm?”

I spent some time sorting through old school records at the Ralls County Historical Society recently. Among the enrollment records and financial reports were some old class photos. There were several group shots of students and their teacher in front of a rural school house.

Others showed students in basketball and football uniforms from the early days of the county high schools. I loved looking at those faces and trying to imagine what their school days were like.

While I was sorting I thought how important it is to preserve these paper records and photos.

Computers are great for research and gathering facts, but they don’t show the patina of the photos and the subtle fading on the edges, things that speak to the past. We need to get our young people to see the importance of paper and books and the old-time filing cabinets full of priceless information.

Yes, there have been fires and tornadoes.

Courthouses and hospitals have lost countless records, gone with no way of retrieving them. Houses burn and all is lost; tornadoes and floods scatter families’ memories and heritage.

So we put our photos on the computer, on disk, and on memory sticks. We hide them in cloud; but unless we print them out and put them in frames and scrapbooks how often are they looked at? You don’t browse a picture file on your computer like you do when you pull the photo albums out and sit on the floor showing your grandchildren pictures of their dad when he was their age. They ask about family members they never knew and the stories unfold. And who hasn’t felt the exhilaration of opening an old box of forgotten photos?

I found an old cookie tin in the closet and sat on the floor in wonder and frustration. There were

pictures of my parents when they were young and pictures of family members with no name or date on the back. One of my favorite albums to look at is the one made of leather and imprinted with an Alaskan scene on the cover. Inside are pictures of Daddy and his sailor buddies from their World War II sojourn down the Pacific coast and around the Aleutian Islands.

A friend tells me that the internet and social media is the way it is; that paper and ink are archaic dead weights, especially in the newspaper business. But I don’t think so. I think it’s important for people, especially the young, to feel history’s stories in the old photos and the brittle pages of old newspapers as well as view the words on a bright screen. There are many ways for the young to learn about the past, let’s not let them choose only one path.

Dear Editor, As many of you are aware, on August 5, Ralls County voters will be given the opportunity to cast a vote that could transform our Ralls County Prosecutor’s Office into a full time office.

As a resident of Ralls County, it is my opinion that the transformation into “full time status” would be beneficial to our county. I believe that the transformation would result in addition-

al time/resources needed for the Ralls County Prosecutor’s Office to remain updated on new laws and make themselves more readily available to law enforcement, court personnel, defense staff, witnesses, victims, and victims’ families. In addition, it is my opinion that the transformation from a “part time” to “full time” prosecutor office would efficiently prevent unnecessary delays in the disposition of cas-

GOT TO SELL IT I have received a ton of mail the past two months and would like to share a couple of comments from readers in reference to telling my grandson he shouldn’t own a Japanese car because they bombed Pearl Harbor. For the first time I heard from families who would not buy a Volkswagen or German cars.

A grandson, who did not want his name used said his grandfather, who served in WWII would not allow any of his family members including grandchildren to own a German built car. He even included it in his will. If any family members owned one, they were to be disinherited.

I also got an e-mail from Larry Cowden that reads as follows: “Jack, it seems like people forget really quick. I will not buy a ball cap with the label “Made in Vietnam” or anything else. Unfortunately at one time almost all electronics came from Japan along with millions of junk products. If everyone living in the US bought US made products we would have not scrubbed to China recently. Larry Cowden, Vietnam Veteran.” A second e-mail from Larry continued: “I read your column in the Ralls County Herald-Enterprise which is in New London, Center and Perry. The VW

es. This in my opinion, could potentially save the county money in the future. I believe that most residents would agree with me when I say...... we wouldn’t want a “part time” sheriff ’s department or a “part time” health department, why continue to have a “part time” prosecutor office?

Sincerely, Stacie Tharp Ralls County Resident

My grandson Cory, who was in the Air Force, had bought a Nissan car after he came back from his last deployment and was stationed at Tinker Air Force Base near Oklahoma City. He now is in Germany and I had to take him off the hook and buy the car. Every Sunday morning I park in the same spot at church, and last Sunday one of our good church women who reads my articles every week let me have it by asking me “Jack, whose white Japanese car is that parked in your spot?” I have just GOT to sell that car.

LOCAL HISTORY A View From the Past

“Yesteryears from the local papers” The First Center Park Day---August 1950 Taken from the Center, Missouri, Centennial Book 1882-1982 Written by Dorothy Neuschafer Sanders Dedicated to “As I Remember Mother” My parents’ home faced the west with the Mason Park right in front. The northeast corner of the park area was owned by Clay Roland, who used it for piling large timbers from his carpentry work. Down through the years large sprouts and weeds grew there and my father asked him if he would sell the lot to him, that he would like to clean up the area and donate the land to the park. Clay’s answer was, “Mr. Neuschafer, why don’t I give it to the park if you and your men can move the debris?”

This was the first gift to the park in many years.

My mother was a member of the Center Homemakers Club of which Mrs. Crossen, Mrs. Henderson, Bess Shulse and Clemma Howald were members.

My father gave Mother $25.00 and suggested they start a fund to buy a push power mower for the park. She contacted each merchant for help.

They finally gathered about $120.00 for their mower, but who was going to do all that mowing and where was the money coming from?

It was Mother’s idea to have a picnic. I scoffed at this idea saying, “just who would buy from us?”

She replies, “If we would have it on election day, I think people coming to town to vote would buy from us if we advertised in the paper. We could even make it an annual affair, maybe.” Thus this little group with their children, neighbors and friends made out a menu exactly as it is today.

Mother and Dad were leaving town over the weekend before election day and asked me to buy some of the food. I bought all the wieners in Brother’s Store (2 ½ lbs.), one picnic ham, one loaf of bread, ordered 100 lbs. ice to be delivered and two cases of soda

pop off the truck. Money was scarce in those days so I bought frugally, not knowing if we would have anyone attending.

Election morning turned out to be cloudy with a few showers but here was the Morawitz family, the Howalds, Dr. Brooks, the Harts and Clarys, Gentry Palmers and Pete and Roe Neuschafer families.

Long tables were borrowed from the Methodist Church to form the counters for the food stand. Roe Neuschafer brought electric wiring from his hardware store and was stringing up a few lights for night time.

The maid rites were first cooked at home and then heated on a one burner coal oil stove (this little stove has been on display in the Senior Citizen’s window.)

The old band stand was used for the program as well as a stage made out of a big stock truck bed. Earlier we faced the task of collecting the steel park benches and it was not easy, but help was pouring in and soon they were all returned. The Girls Scouts gave them a coat of much needed paint.

The Kiddie parade under the supervision of Dr. Brooks was held in the morning, led by Jean Ann Moss and Janie Morawitz proudly carrying a large American flag.

Many children followed with their costumes, pets and bicycles.

Chester had a small yellow and white pony.

Gentry led the pony for little children to ride the full length of the park and back; 75 riders at 10 cents a ride brought in $7.50 (amazing).

According to past newspaper items, my father, Peter Neuschafer, made and donated the first picnic table and Dr. Brooks made the first slide and teeter board.

We had no water in the park, so many buckets of water were carried from nearby homes.

In the afternoon men pitched horseshoes and the youngsters played ball and croquet with the new sets donated by the Girl Scouts.

The 1988 Center Park Day Queen was Stephanie Egbert (Fifer) and the runner up was Shelly Ingram (Theroff). In the back right is Danette Reynolds (Henderson).

That night we were entertained by John Bush and Bill Ruby of Hannibal as well as members from our community.

I was asked to write about the first Park Day as I remember it, but it could not be complete if I didn’t mention all of the cooperation, planning, hard work, love and understanding that has been shown all these years, by everyone in this whole surrounding area.

It’s been you, every one of you, working hard to make it what it is today – bigger and better.

As I remember Moth-

Dear Ralls County Voter: As I have talked to so many of you over the past few weeks, questions have arisen about the following question: Shall the office of the Prosecuting Attorney be made a full-time position in Ralls County? ____Yes _____No Primarily, when would this take effect? And, why is it on the ballot this year?

First, if approved by the voters, the change to a full time prosecutor would become effective January 1, 2015.

Secondly, by state law (Section 56.363, RSMo), a county can only change to a full time prosecutor every four years. The change is tied to the election cycle of the prosecuting attorney. For instance, if we had decided to place the question on the ballot next year, upon approval, the change to a full time prosecutor would not occur until January 1, 2019. I believe that the time for a change is now and not 2019.

I would also like you to know that I am proud to be a part of the fourth generation of my family to live and work in Ralls County. My greatgrandfather was Eastern District Judge (Commissioner) in the early 1940s. At the time, it was customary for candidates for office to carry a campaign card. His card is framed and on the wall at my office in New London. I see this card just about every day and often think about his commitment to the county. I suspect that my great-grandfather held a county office to strengthen and move the county forward for his children and their children’s children, such as myself. I am just trying to do the same. And, so, I encourage you to vote yes for a full time prosecutor in Ralls County on August 5.

Quarles’ Archaeology Site Hosts Teachers

Farmer’s Market food safety tips u Continued from Page 1A

Workers should have clean hands and clothing.

Look for a hand-washing station in the booth, particularly in booths selling prepared foods or offering samples.

More tips while shopping: • Fresh produce should be clean, look fresh, have no cuts or nicks, and be displayed off the ground or floor.

• Cut or peeled produce should be on or surrounded by ice and look fresh and cold.

• Meat, eggs and cheeses should be in a cooler or on ice. Packages must feel cold. Egg cartons should be clean and eggs not cracked.

• Milk should be pasteurized for safety. Ask vendor to confirm.

• Canned fruits and vegetables should be processed appropriately for the type of product. Ask vendor how they were handled and prepared.

• Hot prepared foods should have a lid and be warm enough that you can see steam rising from the pan. Preferably,

you should see vendors using a thermometer to check food temperature.

You also want to make sure your food stays safe on the way home: • Keep raw meat separate from other foods.

• Make the market your last stop before going home.

• Use a cooler or insulated bags, especially if it takes more than an hour to get home.

In a unique joint appointment between Kansas State University and the University of Missouri, Londa Nwadike serves as state extension consumer food safety specialist for both Kansas and Missouri.

Mark Twain’s Uncle John Quarles’ Archaeology Site hosted teachers on July 10 and July 24. Thirty teachers from a number of states who were participating in a workshop at Hannibal visited the Quarles’ Historic Site to learn about its connection to Mark Twain and his writings. The Quarles’ Site is known as “the missing link” in the story of this well-known Missouri writer.

At the site, the groups were met by Karen Hunt, owner of the site who explained where the ‘original Quarles’ home had been. The area beneath the main dog-trot log house was excavated and artifacts recovered (These were on display). The south half of the structure has been rebuilt. Another house was built east of this house and a photo of it is in the Mark Twain Shrine, As the inside of the house has not been completed, the teachers were able to see how the ‘chinking’ was placed between the logs before mortar was put over it. Outside the house a small group (Paula Baker and her sons,

Luke, Noah, and Peter were working on excavating the partially exposed foundation of the ‘smokehouse’ and other features.

Several teachers took time to walk a short distance south of the house to view the exposed stones in the “Anderson cemetery”. Mr. Quarles lost the land in 1852 shortly after his wife died. Samuel Anderson became the owner and is believed to have built a newer house east of the Quarles’ “old house”. One teacher asked: “What happens next?” The reply: When funds become available the north onehalf of the dog trot house will be completed along with the porches and other features, meanwhile excavations by volunteers will continue and bit by bit the site will be completed. Volunteer archaeology digs will be held on Saturday, August 30 and Monday, September 1 Labor Day weekend and on the first three Saturdays in September. Open house will be held at the site on those days from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. visitors are welcome.

Alisha Eisele gathered the children for a treasure hunt with a map showing that X marks the spot. The bible is a map where the X is turned making it a cross leading to Jesus. Pastor Walker introduced his friends from Moberly Central Christian Church where he had been a minister for nine years, previous to his retiring in September.

Matthew 13;1-9; 18-23 was read by Shirley Levings for the pastor’s sermon, “What Sort of Soil Are You?”. Opening our souls and understanding the word of God will bear fruit, but listening to Satan’s temptations will cause our souls to be barren.

“Let Jesus Come Into Your Heart” was the invitation hymn. Pastor Walker gave the benediction and “Blest Be the Tie That Binds” closed the service.
