DENT COUNTY LIFE

Life is different now, and will we one day regret it?

My childhood memories of the harvest are not unlike many others. In 1967 there were potatoes dug before first frost and stored on pine and chicken wire racks in the cool dryness of the crawl space beneath our home. Canned goods from the garden and orchard were placed in a pantry farthest from the King heater burning away in the living room. Field corn was picked by hand and shucked, shelled and kept in the barn for horses. An old GE chest freezer, with six inch sides and that dominated one wall of our kitchen, held frozen squirrels, a few fish and during more productive seasons both deer and turkey. There were also bags of blackberries, fox grapes and persimmons. A white picket fence had parallel lines of firewood mirroring its perimeter on two sides. I still remember when I was deemed old enough to run a Homelite X12 chainsaw, as the wood was previously the result of felling a tree with an axe and cutting it up with a bucksaw. Somehow driving the ’53 GMC was never an issue; once my feet reached the pedals it was at my disposal. An empty fifty-five gallon drum in our well house was filled to the brim with pine knots gathered on hunting expeditions, mostly form the ridge just to the east of Burnthouse Hollow. An infusion of hickory and

white oak into the very old stand of shortleaf pine made it an ideal circuit for gathering a “knot” or two as well as fill Rick Mansfield a green Reflections twig with from the Road a bunch of “bushy tails.” I had a small bank book. Green cover with yellow ledger pages. In it were tallied the results of hauling hay and cordwood, a bit of revenue from walnut gathering and a couple of checks from a weekend neighbor for cleaning and painting the school busses that served as their getaway retreat. The amount in that little book meant a lot, for it was with those funds that I bought Diamond Dog Food for my tree hound. Per an agreement similar to years past, when that book was empty the dog was sold. It’s only hope for winter replenishment was the selling of hides, both possum and raccoon. The dog was usually gone sometime not too many days after Christmas, always long before summer. Those were good days. I ran with neighborhood boys that were more brothers than friends; if one had a dollar we all had a share in it. We had similar interests

as well as like work ethics. Of course, back then we didn’t know lazy was a choice. I was welcome at their table; subjective to their discipline. More than once did I receive “instruction” from a neighbor’s strong hand. And loving heart. I view today’s children and their disconnect with our earth. As wonderful as are our technological marvels, playing farm on facebook is not the same as chopping winter ice for livestock or spreading hay on a layer of snow and listening for the characteristic sound of the bell of your own milk cow. I fear for the future that is theirs. We are promised “we will reap what we sow.” Albert Schweitzer reminds us that “It is not always granted to the sower to live to see the harvest. All work that is worth anything is done in faith.” Stevenson encouraged that we should not “judge each day by the harvest you reap, but by the seeds you plant.” I am thankful for the seeds planted by Ozark Heritage Project. Thanks for joining us! Dr. Eric “Rick” Mansfield is a retired educator who, along with his wife Judy, reside on their organic farm outside of Ellington. His weekly column, "Reflections from the Road," appears in several area newspapers. Contact Rick at emansfield2004@yahoo.com.

Fun Halloween treats By Skyler Huff Staff Writer Have fun with the upcoming holiday by creating homemade Halloweenthemed treats that will be sure to please the whole family. Spider Web Pretzel Snacks Pretzel sticks White chocolate/bark candy coating Chocolate Raisins Baggie or pastry bag

Wax paper Lay out your pretzels on the wax paper in “starburst” arrangements of 6 or 8 pretzels. It’s good to put them on a cookie sheet for transport stability. After melting your white chocolate/bark coating, place in a baggie and cut the corner off (or use a pastry bag). Start piping your chocolate in the middle of the pretzel arrangement, making sure to coat all the pretzels. Continue piping outward around the pretzels, until you have
