Wallace Cattle Company named tops in Missouri, again

By James McNary Wallace Cattle Company was recently named Breeder of the Year for the eighth time by the Missouri Angus Association. Wallace Cattle, southeast of Stotts City, is owned by Ernie and Tammy Wallace, and their children Paige and Sam. Ernie Wallace said Breeder of the

Year is determined from points accumulated by animals during various Angus Association-sanctioned cattle shows throughout the year, including the Missouri Preview, Missouri Annual Futurity, the Ozark Empire Fair, the Missouri State Fair and eventually the American Royal in Kansas City. The points total of the top five individuals in a herd determines the breeder of the year.

“The kids are typically the ones showing the cattle,” said Ernie Wallace. “I’ve been showing cattle all my life and got the kids in it, too.”

“We’ve been doing this a long time,” said Tammy Wallace. “Showing cattle is another way of marketing and promotion for us.”

Wallace Cattle typically runs 150 cows with 30-40 yearlings at any given time, and a bull which is swapped out every 2-3 years. Breeding is typically done via artificial insemination twiceyearly, with the bull typically turned out once.

The Wallaces primarily use genetic stock from the Genex Cooperative; they have been the area beef representatives over six southwest Missouri counties for several years, and on Oct. 12 Tammy Wallace became team leader for Genex over Missouri, eastern Kansas and southwest Iowa. She typically

Daughter Paige Wallace is currently serving a two-year term on the National Junior Angus Board, and served as Ms. American Angus in 2011. She is attending Oklahoma State University, majoring in agricultural communications, and has co-hosted several television programs for the Angus Association on RFD-TV: The Angus Hour live call-in question-and-answer program, and the Angus Report, and is currently an intern with the “Oklahoma Horizons” program, broadcasted from Stillwater, which focuses on Oklahoma agriculture.

“We’re all really involved in the daily tasks on the farm and do everything together,” said Paige. “It’s long hours, but very valuable to me, and my brother, to have those experiences.”

Paige shared that the National Jr. Angus Association presents many opportunities for young people, such as scholarships and leadership conferences, and contests in areas such as public speaking, graphic design and “Wallace”: Continued on page 5

Who is going to college and why, a look at the numbers

by the Lawrence County Record staff

By Ryan Squibb

☛ The MVHS class of 2013 ended their high school career with a Harlem Shake at their graduation ceremony Sunday, May 12.

As another class of seniors waves goodbye, we welcome another group of young adults into the real world. The real world can be put on hold, though, for those who choose to go to college.

According to graduation information from the National Center for Education Statistics, post high school academics is as popular now as ever, with approximately 68 percent of high school grads continuing on to college. Simply by crunching numbers it seems you can predict pretty closely who will and won’t be attending college.

Those students from high-income families continue to college at an 82 percent rate while

students from low-income families continue on to college at a 52 percent clip. Regardless of race (white, black or Hispanic), income and not color made the difference; mostly anyway. Asians were the exception. They went on to college at a whopping 88 percent rate.

Also telling, is the difference between males and females attending college, especially when compared with years past. In 1975, 53 percent of males attended college, while only 49 percent of females attended. Oh how times have changed.

In 2010, 63 percent of males attend college out of high school while females attend college out of high school at a 74 percent rate. That’s an impressive jump, even if it did take 35 years.

It has been said that Mrs. Leaming, special education teacher at Mt. Vernon High School will not be there next year. Mrs. Leaming has been the special education teacher for four years and has been awarded the “Teacher of the Year” award two years in a row.

“For all of you with teenagers or who had teenagers, you may want to know why they really have a lot in common with cats: 1. Neither teenagers nor cats turn their heads when you call them by name.

2. No matter what you do for them, it is not enough. Indeed, all humane efforts are barely adequate to compensate for the privilege of waiting on them hand and foot.

3. You rarely see a cat walking outside of the house with an adult human being, and it can be safely said that no teenager in his or her right mind wants to be seen in public with his or her parents.

Each time I read the Lawrence County Record, I check to see what “Anna remembers.” Now I too would like to share a memory. As I read about the Boston Marathon bombers, a song that my dad used to sing when I was a little girl popped into my mind. As I am 93, that must have been at least 80 years ago. The song is probably vintage World War I and goes something like this:

Why do any of these people go to college instead of work seems to be the question? A lot of it can be contributed to parents’ expectations. According to a research study conducted by a group called Public Agenda, parental expectations play a heavy role in a student’s path. Young workers without degrees, by a 35 percent margin, are less likely to say when they were growing up, their parents strongly expected them to go to college (32 percent to 67 percent).

College might not be the answer for all, but it seems the masses are catching on that it is for most. Now, about paying for it…

unclear. It is not the decision of Mrs. Leaming.

My opinion is “if it’s not broken, do not fix it.” Whoever is chosen to take her position as the new special education teacher has some very big shoes to fill. The relationship that we have with Mrs. Leaming can never be replaced. For us to finally find a teacher like Mrs. Leaming has been a blessing. To lose her is an outrage. We only hope that our child will continue his incredible progress that he has made since the presence of a highly respectable and loved teacher. The bar she has set may never be reached by anyone who succeeds her. She will be greatly missed by us, students and parents. We wish her the best and hope she continues to shine as the best teacher we have ever been involved with. Whoever she will work with in the future will be truly blessed to have her working with their child.

Having a son with a disability has been a challenge for our family. Receiving the proper education for our child in this school district has been a long and difficult road. That is until our child transitioned into high school, where a teacher has given our child hope and everything we have asked for.

Mrs. Leaming has been an inspiration to our child and to us that there are exceptional teachers out there. She has gone above and beyond her call of duty to make our child feel comfortable and safe in the school environment and has made a significant change in our child’s attitude and academics. Her vast knowledge of different organizations that help people with disabilities has been highly beneficial.

Her communication with us has been tremendous in every aspect of our child’s progress. Her abilities to recognize gifts and make our child feel good about himself and his abilities is incredible.

Reasons for these changes are

furniture, that was the end of that.

So then I decided to become a librarian. That dream didn’t work out either.

I didn’t plan on writing or working at a newspaper office. It seemed scary and intimidating. But I seem to have found my niche.

The thing of it is, graduating high school, starting college, making new friends, or even going to the gym can be a big deal. We can plan things out, and set goals for our lives, but maybe we shouldn’t be completely upset when things don’t go as planned. Sometimes, the best things in life are the things unexpected.

Perhaps if we just hand the reins over to God every once in a while, and let him handle things for us, new things won’t be so scary.

I know I will never be able to control everything, try as I might. As the saying goes, let go and let God. Try it and just see what he brings to the table. You might just be surprised.

Lord, make me a channel of thy peace That where there is hatred I may bring love, That where there is wrong I may bring the spirit of forgiveness, That where there is discord I may bring harmony, That where there is error I may bring truth, That where there is doubt I may bring faith, That where there is despair I may bring hope, That where there are shadows I may bring

thy light, That where there is sadness I may bring joy.

Lord, grant me that I may seek rather To comfort than to be comforted, To understand than to be understood, To love than to be loved; For it is by giving that one receives; It is by self-forgetting that one is forgiven; It is by dying that one awakens to eternal life.

NOW HERE’S A TIP

By JoAnn Derson • Need a substitution for buttermilk? Use an equal amount of plain, unflavored yogurt, or for each cup, add a teaspoon of vinegar or lemon juice to a cup of milk.

• “On chore days, I write each chore or step of a chore on a sticky note and attach them to the kitchen counter.

Then we all get together and decide who will do what.

We end up with our stack of sticky notes and can complete the chores in an organized fashion.” -R.E. in Alabama • Keep a lint roller by the sewing machine to quickly swipe up those tiny bits of thread. It’ll keep your sewing area from getting messy.

Bids to be sought for sports complex If Mother Nature is kind the Mt. Vernon track teams could hold home track meets next spring.

Members of the Mt. Vernon Board of Education met Monday night with representatives of Sapp and Associates Design to discuss costs of the project to build a new football field/track complex at the high school.

Voters approved a $2.5 million bond issue in the April 2 election to fund the construction.

Initial cost estimates have the project costing $2,564,621, plus some alternates, which total an additional $696,290. Those alternates can be added later as more funding becomes available, Russ Cruzan, superintendent of schools said.

The base construction contract calls for site work, construction of walkways, football field and track construction, home side bleachers to seat 1500, visitors bleachers, field lighting and concession/toilets Advertising for bids will begin in the next week or so, Cruzan said.

• Sharpen scissors by cutting through a piece of aluminum foil that has been folded over several times. It really does work!

• Parents of twins (or other multiples): It makes a big difference when you join a multiples club or keep in touch with an organization for that purpose. Most do clothing swaps or sales fairly often, and the money you’ll save on clothing the first year is well worth it. (c) 2013 King Features Synd., Inc.

General obligation bonds available to locals The Mt. Vernon R-5 Board of Education of Lawrence County has instructed its municipal bond underwriter, L.J. Hart & Company of St. Louis to make the $2,500,000 general obligation bond issue to be available to local individual and institutional investors.

“We appreciate the strong vote of confidence we received from local patrons at the election and want the bonds to be available to them,” stated Gene Ingle, president of the board.

These new money general obligation bonds were approved by about 63.94 percent of the voters in the April 2 election for the purpose of providing funds for a new sports complex which will include a football field, eight lane all-weather track, bleachers, locker rooms, press box, concession stands and rest rooms. The sports complex will be located near the high school on land owned by the district.

“Since interest rates are

The Dorcas Ladies Aid Society met in the Fellowship Hall of Trinity Lutheran School in Freistatt at 1:30 p.m. Thursday, May 2.

President Judy Lehde called the meeting to order and welcomed everyone.

There were 13 members, Pastor Buchmueller and guest Deborah Porter present. Following the meeting, Deborah was welcomed as a new member.

Lena Bremer led the mite box gathering. Judy Krueger presented the worship and program. The business meeting was conducted and the correspondence read.

Lena Bremer thanked everyone who helped put quilts together on their workday.

The next workday will be in the fall. Judy Kreuger is making a baptismal napkin for Regan Voskamp who will be baptized on Sunday, May 19.

Plans for the bake sale will be made when a date for the picnic is set, which could be in Sept. The mission festival will be in June. The meeting closed with the Lord’s Prayer.

attractive now and might increase in the future, the board of education wants to lock in rates as quickly as possible,” stated Superintendent of Schools Russ Cruzan. “At the same time, we want all local investors, who are interested in these bonds to have an opportunity to purchase them, and we want to alert them in advance of our plans,” Cruzan continued.

The board selected the negotiated sale of the bonds in order to capture current market conditions, to be certain that local individual investors and banks receive an opportunity to purchase the bonds and because the proposed interest rates are fair based upon current conditions in the municipal bond market.

According to L.J. Hart & Company, the bonds are scheduled to mature from March 1, 2026, through March 1, 2033, with interest rates expected to range from

2.30 percent to 3 percent.

The interest income from the bonds is exempt from federal and state of Missouri income taxes and the bonds are available in $5,000 denominations.

The bonds are being sold on first-come, first-served basis.

Anyone interested in learning more about the Series 2013 bonds can call the school district office at 417-466-7573 or L.J. Hart & Company at 800-264-4477 to request a prospectus be mailed to them.

The bonds carry a “AA+” rating from Standard & Poor’s Corporation due to the district’s participation in the State of Missouri Direct Deposit program. If interest rates decline in the future, the district can capture the full benefit because some of the bonds have an optional redemption provision on March 1, 2018, at no penalty. The financing proceeds are anticipated to be available to the district by June 12.

Army Sgt. Lance Thornton poses with his archery equipment at a shooting range.

By Shannon Collins The son-in-law of a Stotts City couple knows how an explosion, crash, gunshot, sickness or emotional trauma can push a military service member to a place of unfamiliarity - the sidelines. And through the healing process, Paralympic sport gives many survivors the chance to prove anyone can overcome disability.

Army Sgt. Lance Thornton, whose wife, Robi, is the daughter of Walter and Kaye Woods, Lawrence 2140, Stotts City, is competing for the Army team during the 2013 Warrior Games at the U.S. Olympic Training Center and at the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colo., May 11-17.

Throughout the seven-day event, wounded, ill and injured service members and veterans from the Army, Marines, Air Force, Navy and Coast Guard, as well as some from Special Operations Command, and a team from the British military will compete - track and field, shooting, swimming, cycling, archery, wheelchair basketball and sitting volleyball makeup the events.

Thornton is competing for the gold in archery and shooting. He is excited to compete in his first Warrior Games.

“There is a sense of pride that a person feels when you take the oath and wear the uniform, knowing you represent the greatest country in the world. Being able to represent

the Army, my family and my hometown is a great feeling,” he said. “The Army team is going to be tough to beat.”

On July 26, 2007, Thornton was serving in a combat zone when the vehicle he was traveling in was struck by an improvised explosive device.

Due to the explosion, he lost his right arm. He said the most challenging part has been learning to be patient with himself. He said his wife, Robi, and family have helped him overcome any difficulties he has faced.

“Without the support of my family and friends, the road to the games would not have been as enjoyable,” said Thornton.

“The support from my loved ones is what gives me the

strength to drive on.”

Thornton also credits adaptive sporting competitions like the Warrior Games with his successful recovery.

“The Warrior Games are a great way to show yourself that you can still do everything you did before. You may have to do it a little differently but you can do it,” he said.

Thornton encourages newly wounded warriors who may not feel comfortable to leave their house to take those baby steps and get active.

“Keep your chin up; be proud of yourself and what you have done. Don’t quit,” he said.

No freeze damage to wheat, delayed corn planting also a downside MU Extension Jill Scheidt, agronomy specialist with University of Missouri Extension in Barton County, scouted fields in Barton County on May 8.

According to Scheidt, wheat is in the flag leaf to early boot stage. No freeze damage to the wheat head was seen. Temporary phosphorus deficiency, identified by purpling on leaf tips, was seen due to cold weather.

“Lodging is a concern now.

If the wheat is unable to stand most of the way back up, it could result in up to a 50 percent yield loss if wheat is in the boot stage,” said Scheidt.

“If the stem has been broken below the growing point due to the weight of the snow, those plants will be a total loss if they are in the flag leaf or boot stage. Less mature wheat is more likely to recover.”

Scheidt warns anyone thinking about switching from corn to soybeans, that costs and benefits of switching may not prove wise until planting is delayed until the end of May. Delayed planting of corn causes concern for black cutworm, which clip the corn plants off below or above soil level. If the corn plant is cut off at soil level, the growing point may have been damaged and corn may not be able to recover.

“Cold weather should not damage corn because the growing point is still protected; when corn reaches 12” then a concern for frost damage may be possible,” said Scheidt.

Continued from front career development.

“It’s really valuable for kids to get involved with the Angus Association because they can get a lot out of it,” said Paige.

Son of the operation, Sam Wallace, is a senior at Mt. Vernon High School, and was an FFA Area Winner in Beef Production Entrepreneurship this year. He has a showcattle team scholarship to attend Connors State College in Oklahoma next year.

“I plan to stay a farmer after school,” said Sam. “No matter how much I’ve

tried to talk him out of it,” Ernie added.

The Wallaces got started in the Mt. Vernon area in March 1997, forming a partnership with Tom Kissee that lasted six years, before starting their own operation. Wallace Cattle and Kissee Farms do still work together.

Tammy Wallace said that, through Ernie, this is year 29 for them in the Angus Association.

Ernie Wallace grew up in the Windsor area; Tammy Wallace is originally from Searsboro, Iowa. Paige and Sam Wallace both attended Trinity Lutheran grade school in Freistatt and attended Mt. Vernon High School.

In Memory

ROBERT EUGENE ZENT Mt. Vernon - Robert Eugene Zent, 92, Mt. Vernon, passed away at 8:45 a.m. Saturday, May 11, 2013, at his home. He was born March 8, 1921, in Little River, Kan., the son of the late Roy Alvin and Nellie Blye (Smith) Zent.

In the winter of 1932, during the Great Depression and Dust Bowl, the family traveled from Kansas to Missouri by car and horse-drawn wagon. When it became too cold to sleep outside, they left the horse and wagon in eastern Kansas and traveled on by car. In the spring they returned for their horses and belongings and settled in Carthage and later in the Mt. Vernon area.

Robert joined the United States Army in 1944 as part of the 11th Armored Infantry Battalion of the 1st Armored Division, serving in Italy and Germany.

The day before he enlisted in the Army he joined the Masonic Lodge and was a proud member for 69 years. He was a 32nd degree Scottish Rite Mason, as well as a Shriner.

On Feb. 15, 1947, he married Lois Brown in Columbus, Kan., and they shared 66 years of marriage. To this union two children were born, Marilyn and Robert A. “Bobby.”

After his return from service and his marriage, he owned and operated Zent Hardwood Lumber for many years and was well-known throughout the area for this endeavor. He also raised dairy and beef cows throughout his life.

Bob and Lois enjoyed collecting antiques, and on their farm in the 1970s had an authentic log cabin built (with logs Bob cut) to store and showcase their collection.

Many people enjoyed this cabin over the years and it was the site of many holiday parties, get-togethers and hunting retreats. They also enjoyed traveling and had many adventures in Arizona and California with extended family. Bob’s last and most memorable trip was in 2010 when he was part of the Honor Flight program and was able to travel to Washington D.C. to visit the World War II Memorial and other national monuments.

Bob will be remembered as a caring son, brother, husband, father and grandfather, and was lovingly called “Daddy Bob” by his grandchildren and many others. He was known as a true gentleman who always put others first, helped those in need, opened his home to friends, family and strangers, and lived a simple and honest life.

He will be sadly missed and lovingly remembered by his wife, Lois; one daughter, Marilyn Wright and her husband, Carl, of Mt. Vernon; two sisters, June Schultz and her husband, James, of Eureka Springs, Ark., and Ardis Shelton and her husband, Glen, of Carthage; daughter-in-law Lori Zent of Collierville, Tenn.; four grandchildren, Carla Hayes and hubsand, Jarrod of Everton, Clinton Zent and wife, Casey, and Mona Wright, all of Mt. Vernon, and James Zent of Collierville; and one great-grandson, Mason Hayes of Everton.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by one son, Robert A. “Bobby” Zent, in 2009; as well as siblings, Lecester “Tim” Zent, Arthur Zent, Nevin Zent, Yule Zent, Gayle Smith, Greta Magers and Mildred Deeds.

Services will be at 11:30 a.m. Wednesday, May 15, at the Fossett-Mosher Funeral Home, Mt. Vernon. Burial, with full military honors, will follow at 2 p.m. at the Missouri Veterans Cemetery in Springfield.

Memorial donations may be made to St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital, in care of the funeral home.

MILLER 2012 Annual Water Quality Report MO5010525 (Consumer Confidence Report) This report is intended to provide you with important information about your drinking water and the efforts made to provide safe drinking water.

Attencion!

Este informe contiene información muy importante. Traduscalo o prequntele a alguien que to entienda bien (translated: This report contains very important information. Translate or ask someone who understands this very well.)

What is the source of my water?

The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and groundwater wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally-occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pickup substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity.

Our water comes from the following source(s): ource Name S Type WELL #2 GROUND WATER WELL #3 GROUND WATER Source Water Assessment: The Department of Natural Resources conducted a source water assessment to determine the susceptibility of our water source to potential contaminants. This process involved the establishment of source water area delineations for each well or surface water intake and then a contaminant inventory was performed within those delineated areas to assess potential threats to each source. Assessment maps and summary information sheets are available on the internet at http://maproom. missouri.edu/swipmaps/pwssid.htm. To access the maps for your water system you will need the State-assigned identification code, which is printed at the top of the report. The Source Water Inventory Project maps and information sheets provide a foundation upon which a more comprehensive source water protection plan can be developed.

Why are these contaminants in my water?

Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental Protection Agency’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791).

Contaminants that may be present in source water include: A. Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations, and wildlife.

B. Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can be naturally-occurring or result from urban stormwater runoff, industrial, or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining, or farming.

C. Pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture, urban stormwater runoff, and residential uses.

D. Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are by-products of industrial processes and petroleum production, and can also come from gas stations, urban stormwater runoff, and septic systems.

E. Radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally-occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities.

In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, the Department of Natural Resources prescribes regulations which limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. Department of Health regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water which must provide the same protection for public health.

Is our water system meeting other rules that govern our operations?

The Missouri Department of Natural Resources regulates our water system and requires us to test our water on a regular basis to ensure it’s safety. Our system has been assigned the identification number MO5010525 for the purposes of tracking our test results. Last year, we tested for a variety of contaminants. The detectable results of these teses are on the following pages of this report. Any violations of state requirements or standards will be further explained later in this report.

How might I become actively involved?

If you would like to observe the decision-making process that affect drinking water quality or if you have any further questions about your drinking water report, please call us at 417-452-3371 to inquire about scheduled meetings or contact persons.

Do I need to take any special precautions?

Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immunocompromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particulary at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers, EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791).

Special Lead and Copper Notice: If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children.

Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and components associated with service lines and home plumbing.

MILLER is responsible for providing high quality drinking water, but cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components. When your water has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791) or at http://water. epa.gov/drink/info/lead/index.cfm.

Definitions: MCLG: Maximum Contaminant Level Goal, or the level of a contaminant in drinking water below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MCLGs allow for a margin of safety.

MCL: Maximum Contaminant Level, or the highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water. MCLs are set as close to the MCLGs as feasible using the best available treatment technology.

SMCL: Secondary Maximum Contaminant Level, or the secondary standards that are non-enforceable guidelines for contaminants and may cause cosmetic effects (such as skin or tooth discoloration) or aesthetic effects (such as taste, odor or color) in drinking water. EPA recommends these standards but does not require water systems to comply.

AL: Action Level, or the concentration of a contaminant which, when exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirements which a water system must follow.

TT: Treatment Technique, or a required process intended to reduce the level of a contaminant in drinking water.

90th percentile: For lead and Copper testing. 10% of test results are above this level and 90% are below this level.

Level Found: Is the average of all test results for a particular contaminant.

Range of Detections: Shows the lowest and highest levels found during a testing period, if only one sample was taken, then this number equals the Level Found.

MRLDG: Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level Goal, or the level of a drinking water disinfectant below which there is no known or expected risk to health.

MRDL: Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level, or the highest level of a disinfectant allowed in drinking water.

RAA: Running Annual Average, or the average of sample analytical results for samples taken during the previous four cal-
