The not-for-profit North East Community Action Corporation (NECAC) held its Annual Meeting and Installation of Officers and Directors Dinner on Oct. 28 at the Church of the Nazarene Fellowship Hall in Bowling Green. NECAC is a 12-county area social service, community health and public housing Community Action Agency that contracts with federal, state and local governments, private businesses and other not-for profit organizations to operate and administer self-sufficiency service programs for the low-income, elderly, youth, disabled and disadvantaged population. The agency’s Central Administration Offices are located in Bowling Green, with NECAC Service Centers operated in each county. NECAC is one of 19 non-profit Community Action Agencies in Missouri and part of a national network of 980 agencies.
In his annual report, NECAC President and Chief Executive Officer Don Patrick offered praise to board members, staff and volunteers who helped make 2013-2014 another successful year for serving the disadvantaged despite difficulties. He also looked to the future. “As part of NECAC and Community Action, we all, as board members, employees and volunteers, play a vital and valuable role in helping our neighbors in need become selfsufficient to build better lives for themselves,” Patrick said. “After all, that is NECAC and Community Action – people helping people, changing lives. Because of all of you, NECAC remains the number one Community Action Agency in Missouri and a leading agency at the national Community Action level. Once again, thank you so very much for all your achievements.” Patrick also discussed the potential difficul-
ties and fortunes on the road ahead. “As we face these new challenges and opportunities, I am confident in the resources, experience and dedication of our board of directors, employees and volunteers,” he said. “And, as usual, I expect we will meet these new challenges and opportunities head-on, and that we will successfully prevail.” After being sworn in as chairman of the board, Lyndon Bode of Palmyra offered his remarks. “I look forward to the next couple of years serving as chairperson and I appreciate the opportunity to lead the cause – and it is a cause,” Bode said. “We’ve got a lot of work to do. We’ve got a great staff, we’ve got a great board and we can get a lot of things accomplished over these next couple of years.” Charles McCann of St. Joseph, former director of the Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) with the Missouri Department of SoContinued on Page 2A

Savage is Member of the Swinney Sisters
Aquila Savage is a member of the Swinney Sisters, a women’s vocal ensemble at Central Methodist University. Under the direction of Dr. Claude Westfall, the Swinney Sisters will perform in a concert with the Church Street Boys on November 10 at 7:30 pm. The concert will be held in the Linn Memorial Church on the CMU campus in Fayette. The ensemble sings music of many different genres and is a part of the Swinney Conservatory of Music. Savage is also a member of the Chorale. Savage is Pre-Nursing major from Macon. Since its founding in 1854, CMU has evolved into a university that confers various degrees through programming on its main campus in Fayette, Mo., and through extension sites located across Missouri and online. The family of Vera Clarkson would like to express their gratitude for all the care, support and acts of kindness shown to our mother and to us during her recent passing. We are forever grateful to Dr. DeLine for his compassionate care over the years and to Drs. Burdin and Whetmore for their incredible kindness during her last few days. The staff at Samaritan Hospital (Wendy Pratt, Sue Fitzsimmons, Ruth Brock, Chris Swain, Drayce Lineberry, Kelly Cruze, Tiffany Rollison, Tiffany Ollinger, Brenda Fessler, Monica Downey and countless others) were unbelievably thoughtful and supportive, understanding and gracious. The patient and gentle care given by the staff at Loch Haven was like she was one of their own. Thanks to Joe and Terri Swallow, Jack and Phillis Davison, and Sam and Esther Yoder for gifts of food during this difficult time. We also appreciate the memory stone given by Dan & Sandy Coons and Larry, Tammy, and Ryan Gibson. All the cards, visits, and words of comfort helped ease our grief. We sincerely appreciate each expression of friendship and condolence from our friends. Pat & Ernie Coons, Diana and Robert Knight Andrea and Fred Villasalero, George Matchen Henry and Lisa Kay Matchen

By CHRIS RHEA Home Press Sports On Halloween night, most kids find delight in dressing up while trying to get free candy. For the Macon Tigers, the sweetest treat would be a return to the District championship. The Tigers played host to the Eagles of O’Fallon Christian Friday night, with the hopes of getting to play for the District crown. The Eagles won the opening coin toss, but elected to defer, giving the Tigers the first shot at points. Macon opened its first drive on its own 33, and managed to pick up one first down. But, Macon went three-and-out on the next set of downs, and turned it over on downs, giving the Eagles a chance. The Tiger defense stood up Christian on its first drive, and forced a punt from the Eagles. Macon took two false-start penalties before running a play on its next drive, and could not get anything going, punting back to Christian. The two teams went back and forth in the first period, which ended in a 0-0 tie. Near the end of the first period, the Eagles were pinned at their own 1-yard line following a Macon punt. After picking up two on a run, Eagle QB D.T. Christiansen broke loose and picked up 65 yards on a run, putting Christian into Tiger territory. At the beginning of the second period, the Eagles had a 2nd and 6 at the Macon 16. It appeared that Christian would be the first to get on the board, but the Tiger defense came through again, as Caleb Perry brought Christiansen down for a sack at the 15-yard line, forcing 4th down. A 32-yard field goal attempt by Austin Watson fell short, and the game remained scoreless.

On the first play from scrimmage, running back Joe Lewis broke off a 22-yard run, giving Macon a 1st down at its own 42-yard line. On the following play, QB Aaron Brown completed a pass to receiver Collin Patrick for a 13-yard gain, getting the Tigers into Eagle territory. Two more positive runs by Lewis put Macon at the Christian 31. Facing 4th down at the Eagle 24, Brown completed a pass to Austen Harrison, which was good enough for a 1st down to keep the drive alive. Lewis eventually set the Tigers up with a 1st and Goal at the Eagle 6, but the Christian defense broke up a couple of passes, and the Eagles forced a turnover on downs. The first half came to a close with the score knotted at 0-0. The Eagles received the kick-off to begin the second half. The Christian offense began to click on its first drive. On 1st down from his own 39, Christiansen handed the ball off to Blake Huskey, who launched a halfback pass to receiver Ryan Norwine down to the Tiger 21-yard line, a completion of 40 yards. On 2nd and Goal from the Macon 10, freshman runner Jared Drury rumbled into the end zone for the first points of the game. Watson knocked through the extra point, and Christian grabbed a 7-0 lead with 8:58 to go in the third quarter. The Tigers managed to get up around midfield on their next drive, but the Eagle defense stalled them out again, and Macon was forced to punt. Christiansen was up to his old tricks on the next Christian drive, rattling off two double-digit rushes and completed a long pass to Norwine. The Macon defense came through, however, as the ball was knocked loose and defensive back Luke Mosley covered it for Macon, giving the ball back to the Tigers at their own 27-yard line. The offense was unable to do anything with it, and quickly punted back to the Eagles. The third quarter came to an end with Christian still leading 7-0.

play, Joe Lewis broke free from the pack and raced 36 yards to the house for a Tiger touchdown. The point-after by Brandon Sontheimer tied the game at 7-7 with 2:43 to go in the fourth quarter. The Eagles were moving as the time got late, eventually passing midfield into Tiger territory. But, Caleb Perry came up with his second sack of the night, bringing down Christiansen down at the Tiger 49, forcing a punt. Regulation time came to and end with the game tied at 7-7, forcing overtime. For the first overtime, the Tigers won the coin-toss, but elected to defend first. The Eagles began their drive at the 25-yard line. Christian quickly fell to 4th down, but Christiansen completed a pass to receiver Walker Jenkins at the 15-yard line for a 1st down. Two plays later, Christiansen completed a 10-yard pass to Norwine to set up a 1st and Goal at the 5-yard line. On the next play, Christiansen kept it and raced in for the touchdown. The point-after was blocked, and the Eagles grabbed a 13-7 lead. The Tigers got their chance next, and quickly faced a 4th down, but Brown threaded a pass to Lewis for 18 yards and a 1st down at the 5-yard line. After two negative plays, QB Bright connected with Patrick for an 8-yard touchdown reception to tie the game. The point-after fell short, and a second overtime was needed.

After another coin-toss, the Tigers began the second overtime on offense, and started at the 25-yard line. Lewis began the drive with a 5-yard run to the 20, and was followed by a 9-yard run to the 11 by Bright for a 1st down. From there, senior running back Luke Mosley went to the far side and broke into the end zone for a Tiger touchdown and Macon’s first lead of the night. The PAT from Sontheimer was good, and Macon held a 20-13 lead with Christian’s chance upcoming. After he was stopped for a short loss, Christiansen broke off a 19-yard run down to the 7-yard line for a 1st and Goal. Three plays later, Blake Huskey pushed his way into the end zone for a touchdown, cutting the Macon lead to 20-19. After an offside penalty on Macon brought the ball half the distance to the goal, the Eagles decided to gamble and go for the 2-point conversion and the win. Christiansen tried to push through the Tiger line, but the boys in black & orange had none of it, stopping him short and preserving a semifinal victory for the Tigers and a ticket to the District Final. After the game, running back Luke Mosley talked about how happy he was to get the chance to score. “That was my second touchdown of the season, and the third of my varsity career; I felt extremely happy that I was able to score, and I was happy to share it with this team,” he said. “We will look forward to whoever we play, and we will work hard this week, and make sure we are as prepared as possible.”

Defensive lineman Skyler Thomas mentioned that the defense was upset about being called for offside on the extra-point attempt, but they knew they had to knuckle down. “We were kinda down, but we decided we had to stay strong, play your best, and have the most heart you could possibly have, and come out with the victory,” he said. “Our next opponent will be a very good opponent; there is no doubt about that. I feel that after a good week of practice, we can come out and pull out the win, and play for Week 13.”

Head coach Pete Claas felt more excited about this game than the comeback win against Centralia two weeks prior. “It’s hard to beat double-overtime games; we don’t get those everyday,” he said. “I was very proud of our kids, and their ability to come back and keep fighting. Things weren’t going well offensively, but the defense kept us in the game, and we found a way to make a play or two at the end.”
At the start of the fourth quarter, the Eagles had a 2nd and 9 at their own 39-yard line. Christiansen, once again, ripped off a positive run for 9 yards and a 1st down at the Christian 48. On the following play, Christiansen completed a pass to Norwine, but a personal foul was called on the Eagles following the play, which backed them up to their own 43 with a 2nd and 15. The Eagles were forced to punt back to Macon two plays later. The Tigers quickly went three-andout, punting right back to Christian. The Eagles were called for holding on their next offensive play, which backed them up deep. But, Christiansen bailed them out with a 21-yard run to the Macon 41-yard line, but still faced 2nd down. Eventually, the Eagles faced a 4th down at the Macon 28, and Christiansen would be stopped short of the sticks, forcing a turnover on downs.
Claas also knows that his offense must take advantage of scoring opportunities when they present themselves. “We had two or three scoring chances in the red zone, but we didn’t capitalize. Those will come back to haunt you in the playoffs,” he said. “Like I said, our defense was outstanding and they kept us in the game.”
On Macon’s first play of the drive, Brown threaded a pass to Lewis for a 25-yard gain to the Christian 47-yard line and a first down. A couple of negative plays that followed would doom the drive, and Macon was forced to punt back to the Eagles. The Tiger defense was able to contain the Christian offense, and forced a punt. Return man Christian Thrasher returned the punt to the Eagle 45, setting the Macon offense up in decent position. On the first play, QB Nolan Bright ran forward for nine yards to the Eagle 36. On the following
The Macon Tigers improve to 8-3 overall, and will travel south to St. Charles Friday night to take on the Orchard Farm Eagles for the Class 3, District 5 Championship. Claas knows that his team will have to be ready to go. “I have heard they have a very athletic quarterback, and a running back that may be recruited to a big college. We haven’t looked at them yet, but we will start soon and go from there,” he said.

Claas mentioned that he had the opportunity weeks ago to see Christian play, and knew that his defense had to find a way to stop quarterback D.T. Christiansen. “He is a phenomenal athlete, and I told him that after the game, and we knew he was the one we had to stop,” said Claas. “There were times we flushed him from the pocket, and he made a big play with his legs. That’s the luxury with an athletic quarterback, but I’m very proud of our defense.

March of Dimes Recognizes Northeast Regional Medical Center Northeast Regional Medical Center (NRMC) is recognized for reducing the number of elective inductions and Cesarean deliveries performed before 39 completed weeks of pregnancy. The March of Dimes says this will give more babies a healthy start in life. Babies delivered before full-term are at increased risk of serious health problems and death in their first year of life. “We’re proud of our expert team of physicians and nurses who saw this opportunity to improve care in our community and put in place policies to avoid scheduling elective inductions or caesarean deliveries before 39 weeks of pregnancy, except when medically necessary” said Cindy Carter, NRMC Chief Nursing Officer. NRMC reports that through the collaborative efforts of physicians and nurses, it has been more than (2) years since an elective induction or C-section prior to 39 weeks was performed at NRMC. This achievement is recognized through a banner from the March of Dimes and Missouri Hospital Association
(MHA). Babies born just a few weeks early have higher rates of hospitalization and illness than full-term infants. Recent research by the March of Dimes, the National Institutes of Health and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration found that although the overall threat is small, the risk of death more than doubles for infants born at 37 weeks of pregnancy when compared to babies born at 40 weeks, for all races and ethnicities. According to Trina Ragain, State Director of Program Services, Advocacy and Government Affairs, March of Dimes Missouri Chapter, “The last weeks of pregnancy are extremely important. Babies aren’t just putting on weight. They are undergoing important development of the brain, lungs and other vital organs. “The March of Dimes commends NORTHEAST REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER for being a champion for babies with their quality improvement effort.” A two year partnership between the March of Dimes Missouri Chapter and the Missouri Hospital Association (MHA) is achieving its goal of significantly reducing early elective deliveries (EEDs) by the end of 2014. Of the 46 participating birthing hospitals in Missouri, 78 percent report a rate of five percent or less and 61 percent have had no EEDs in the last six months of reported data. Tamara Wilhoit Additionally, of the 46 hospitals, 87 percent now have a “hard stop” policy in place which establishes strict medical guidelines for when a physician may

Members of the Heartland Creamery staff have been traveling a lot recently to let people know about the newest cheese flavors in their fall line. As you might imagine, pumpkin is involved. Team members have gone to places like Atlanta, Georgia, to take part in large food promotions and to places like Omaha, Nebraska, to offer free samples in local grocery stores. The newest member of the sales team is Shane Sedelmeier, who recently flew to New York City to work with buyers of the Creamery’s popular kosher line of cheese. All the cheese at the Creamery comes from cows that are milked just down the
by Kathy Nickerson
road at the Heartland Dairy. Mauricio Toro and his team are proud of the success they have had with cheese production, but winning awards and making sales is not their highest aim. What they want most of all is to give men and women a chance to make a fresh start in life. They want to see people develop job skills and find a bit of quiet space in a noisy world so they can finally hear from God. Those things are happening on a regular basis.

schedule a delivery. Only 35 percent had a hard stop policy in place before the MHA/March of Dimes collaboration began. The policy prohibits doctors from scheduling a delivery – either by induction or cesarean section – before the baby is at a confirmed 39 weeks gestation. The policy applies to non-medically indicated (elective) deliveries only. According to Herb Kuhn, president and CEO of the Missouri Hospital Association, “In the best interests of the health of mothers and infants, Missouri’s hospitals have been working to reduce early elective deliveries. This is one of many quality improvements they are aggressively pursuing to achieve the Triple Aim of better care, better health and lower costs.” More information is available at marchofdimes.org/39weeks. The March of Dimes has been providing support to MHA hospitals in the form of its Healthy Babies are Worth the Wait program which includes educational materials and other resources. Susan Bushnell, State Director of the March of Dimes Missouri Chapter, said, “This data provides hard evidence that more Missouri babies are being born full term, giving them the healthiest possible start to life. We hope that all of Missouri’s birthing hospitals will embrace this initiative and eliminate early elective deliveries.”

How’s your heart? Back in 2010 I had afib and I had to go to a St. Louis hospital and have 13 oblations done to my heart. After six months of recovery my heart problem was fixed. Did you know that everyone has a heart problem? The Bible tells us that man’s heart is desperately wicked. Who can know it? Well the good news is that man’s heart problem can be fixed and the One who can fix it is Jesus. You see our hearts are bad because of heart disease which is sin.Jesus died for our sin and through His death burial and resurrection He made it possible for everyone who wants to, they can get their heart fixed. In order to get a good heart that’s working right all you have to do is accept Jesus as your Savior. Of course I am speaking of a spiritual fix of your heart and that is the best thing you can do for your heart, because with the right heart you have forgiveness of sin and eternal life with our Lord and Savior. How’s your heart condition ? I hope you will make it new and better with Jesus. And by the way when the doctor fixes your heart you feel like a new person. When Jesus fixes your heart you are a new person. 1st Cor.5:17 If any man is in Christ he is a new creature, the old things are passed away; behold new things have come. Have Happy Pastor Rich Wills

The Shepherd Calls Nostalgic Gratitude For almost a year, I served as interim pastor of a gracious church in Kansas City. I remember my time there fondly and continue to pray that my brief ministry with them will be a lasting blessing. Their new pastor has invited me to fill in for him several times; and yesterday, I was privileged to do so. I recognized many faces. It was a blessing to see them again and to know they are still serving God in this strategic church. I missed some folk. The attendees explained the whereabouts of some absentees, and I will ask the pastor about others. I was encouraged by observing many new faces. As I introduced myself, some said, “I have heard about you.” “I hope what you heard was good,” I remarked with a smile. No one said what they’d heard was bad, but I don’t imagine they would tell me if it was. The experience was a blessing for me, and I hope for them. Returning to a church where you once served is a little like watching your children mature. You rejoice in their successes and grieve in their struggles. Your greatest joy is to see them rise

beyond your expectations. As I write this, I am thanking God for this church and the others where I was privileged to serve. Each one left an indelible mark on my life. It would be easy to recall the building programs; but what I remember best is the people. The people are the church—not the buildings. In one church, we had a deacon who was something of a sage. He had a gift for saying the right thing, usually something funny, when tensions mounted. In another, there was a man who would sometimes visit and advise me about the health of the congregation. At the time, I did not always like what he told me; but I knew if he told me, I needed to hear it. In yet another church there was a humble, wealthy (those words seldom go together) man who delighted in serving the Kingdom unnoticed. In every church, there was a core of women who faithfully served and did not seem to mind the men assuming they were in charge. Thus, my trip back to a former “parish” turned into a pleasant nostalgia experience. Thank you God for letting me serve.

“Design disturbs Darwinists” Adapted from: Total Truth by Nancy Pearcey pages 180-184 Anyone walking down a beach can distinguish between the ripples in the sand made by the natural flow of wind and rain across the beach’s surface and a sandcastle with towers, walls and a moat around it. Clearly, the wind and rain did not blow the castle into existence. It is clearly the product of an intelligent agent. Some kid spent a lot of time and took great care to build it. The same is true of all of life. Look around you. You can see design. The fish has gills to breathe underwater. The bird has wings to fly. Look at your own body. You have ears to hear, eyes to see, a nose to smell and legs to walk (particularly of interest to me because my father recently had his right leg amputated!) No one confuses the purpose of the ears with that of the eyes. You won’t find anyone holding a map up to their ears to see it clearly or putting the phone up to their eyes to hear it better.
The evident design in all of life disturbs Darwinists (evolutionists). Darwinist George Gaylord Simpson acknowledges that accounting for this “apparent purposefulness” is a central problem for biology. He doesn’t want evolutionists to fret though because he believes Darwin has solved their problem. He then goes on to state the following convoluted declaration. “Natural selection achieves the aspect of purpose without the intervention of a purposer, and it has produced a vast plan without the concurrent action of a planner.” Famous evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins begins his book The Blind Watchmaker with the sentence: “Biology is the study of complicated things that give the appearance of having been designed for a purpose.” He then spends the rest of the book trying to prove that this appearance of design is false and misleading. Design disturbs Darwinists because they know that design means that there is a designer. That designer is then boss and gets to call the shots. How disturbed they

MDC Offering Bowhunter Education Class
This course is an excellent refresher for veteran bowhunters or for someone new to the sport. The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) is holding a bowhunter education certification class from 5:30 to 9:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 12 and Thursday, Nov. 13 at the MDC Northeast Regional Office, 3500 S. Baltimore in Kirksville. The two-day course is free, but registration is required by Nov. 11. Topics to be covered include modern bowhunting history and development; bowhunter responsibility and ethics; different types of bows and equipment; safety information related to hunting from an elevated platform; awareness about wildlife conservation and management; show placement, game recovery, trailing and field dressing; and rules and information unique to Missouri. Those successfully completing the course will receive a bowhunter education certification card from the Missouri Department of Conservation.
Students must be 11 years of age or older to attend. “This course is an excellent refresher for veteran bowhunters or for someone new to the sport,” said MDC Outdoor Skills Specialist Rob Garver. “Bowhunter education provides a foundation in hunting safety and ethics that helps hunters focus on more than just being successful in the pursuit of game.” While a bowhunter education certificate is not required by statewide game regulations, many Missouri cities that allow archery hunting inside their city limits require bowhunter-education certification. Additionally, many other states require bowhunter education before hunters are allowed to apply for or take part in bow hunts in their state. To register for the program visit registered.com/programs/Missouri or for more information, contact Garver at Rob. Garver@mdc.mo.gov or 660-785-2420. For more information about Missouri’s bowhunter-education program visit mdc. mo.gov/node/9723.
must indeed be. As scientists they see perhaps clearer than most the intricate design that is ever present. Yet their aversion to a Creator/God who is the designer forces them to ignore or explain away what they know to be true. Design is clear. What is amazing is that
we can know this Designer because He has made Himself known in the Holy Bible and most clearly through His son Jesus Christ. You don’t have to live disturbed like the Darwinists. Acknowledge the Designer and submit your life to Him.
The Odd Couple Opens at Maples Repertory Theatre On Wednesday, November 5 Maples Rep will open their production and celebrate the almost 50th birthday of The Odd Couple--it won’t actually be 50 until March 10 2015. The really good news is that you have the opportunity to kick back and laugh your way through someone else’s problems. Watching Oscar and Felix struggle through “singledom” is probably the best marriage counseling in town. One version of history as to how “The Odd Couple” was born says that, “Mr. [Danny] Simon had moved in with a newly single theatrical agent named Roy Gerber in Hollywood, and they invited friends over one night. Mr. Simon botched the pot roast. The next day, Gerber told him: “Sweetheart, that was a lovely dinner last night. What are we going to have tonight?” Mr. Simon replied: “What do you mean, cook you dinner? You never take me out to dinner. You never bring me flowers.” Danny Simon- inspired -wrote a partial first draft of the play, but
then handed over the idea to Neil. First of all, who knew that the famous Neil Simon had an older brother who was a television writer and comedy teacher? Secondly, what has your brother given you lately? Thirdly, Neil made the most of the “gift”. The reviews were unanimously “rave”. The New York Times said, There is scarcely a moment that is not hilarious,” and everyone else agreed. The Maples is having a great autumn. First there was BINGO, now THE ODD COUPLE, and the final show of 2014, WINTER WONDERETTES [opening November 28]. As usual scheduled around the Maples Rep main stage productions are also: an Afterglow for each show, Sunday Dinners, and a Holiday Cabaret on December 11, For more information and to order tickets call the Maples Box Office at 660-385-2924, order online at http://www.maplesrep.com/, or go by the theatre located on corner of Rubey and Vine in Macon, Missouri.

Volume 1, Issue 20, 10/28/2014
The time is getting closer for all of us to do our duty, which is to vote on November 4th! Our forefathers taught us that we need to protect our freedom and let our voices be heard. As I pointed out at the League of Women Voters the other night, people in other countries are putting their lives on the line to vote, but they still stand in line because it means so much to them. So many in America don't take the right to vote that serious, which to me is sad. Our Veterans put their lives on the line, and many gave their lives, so we can have the right to express ourselves. They have kept our freedoms intact. Thank you to all Veterans!!

Learning the history of our country and how we got our freedom, and teaching that to our children is vitally important. This is why I love being a part of the tours, when our school children come down to visit the Capitol. I enjoy taking the children to the House floor, at available times, and sitting the kids in the Representatives seats. I explain to them the whole voting process, and they get a hands on feel of how the process of voting works. I have been able take them up onto the Speaker of the House’s platform, where he runs the floor, and they love getting their picture there. I think the parents love it just as much as the children. I have even made trips back to the Capitol on Friday's, after being there all week, just to make that happen. I have had teachers that have been teaching for over 20 years tell me it is the best tours they had ever received. The main reason I find this so important to be a part of, is to teach our children the importance of getting involved in their government. I emphasize in telling them this is the people's capitol, and it is where their voices are to be heard. As of today, I have had three children tell me that someday they want to be a State Representative. That is humbling to say the least. So we need to set an example to our children, and get out and vote on November the 4th. As always, it is an honor to serve you in the Missouri House. A Brief History of Voting in America: When the polls open on Election Day, every citizen over the age of 18 will be able to cast a vote. It is a right we take for granted, and one that defines our nation as a democracy. But universal suffrage — letting everyone vote — did not appear overnight with the ratification of our Constitution. Two hundred years ago, you had to be white, male, and wealthy in order to vote. Throughout the history of the United States, voting rights have been expanded repeatedly by Constitutional Amendments and legislation. When the Constitution was written, most of the Framers did not believe in universal suffrage. However, as we have progressed as a society, traditionally excluded groups, including women and racial minorities, have received voting rights through Constitutional Amendments. We have come a long way as a country to guarantee this important right to our citizens. Below is a brief timeline of some of those important milestones. 1790 - Only white male adult property-owners have the right to vote. 1850 - Property ownership and tax requirements eliminated by 1850. Almost all adult white males could vote. 1855 - Connecticut adopts the nation's first literacy test for voting. Massachusetts follows suit in 1857. The tests were implemented to discriminate against Irish-Catholic immigrants. 1870 - The 15th Amendment is passed. It gives former slaves the right to vote and protects the voting rights of adult male citizens of any race. 1890 - Mississippi adopts a literacy test to keep African Americans from voting. Numerous other states—not just in the south—also establish literacy tests. However, the tests also exclude many whites from voting. To get around this, states add grandfather clauses that allow those who could vote before 1870, or their descendants, to vote regardless of literacy or tax qualifications. 1915 - Oklahoma was the last state to append a grandfather clause to its literacy requirement (1910). In Guinn v. United States the Supreme Court rules that the clause is in conflict with the 15th Amendment, thereby outlawing literacy tests for federal elections. 1920 - The 19th Amendment guarantees women's suffrage. 1924 - Indian Citizenship Act grants all Native Americans the rights of citizenship, including the right to vote in federal elections. 1957 - The first law to implement the 15th amendment, the Civil Rights Act, is passed. The Act set up the Civil Rights Commission—among its duties is to investigate voter discrimination. 1965 - The Voting Rights Act protects the rights of minority voters and eliminates voting barriers such as the literacy test. The Act is expanded and renewed in 1970, 1975, and 1982. 1971 - The 26th amendment sets the minimum voting age at 18. If you would like to discuss any issue, please call 573-751-6566. You can also email me at tim.remole@house.mo.gov . I look forward to hearing from you. To be added to our Capitol Report email listing, please send a request to shana.beasley@house.mo.gov

Honor Flight #31 Caps Off the End of the 2014 Flight Season a Day Before Veterans Day
One day before Veterans Day 2014, Central Missouri Honor Flight Network will make its final flight of 2014. On Monday, November 10, approximately 70 mid-Missouri veterans will fly to Washington D.C. to visit the memorials to their service and sacrifice. The veterans on Flight #31 will enjoy a one-day tour of the WWII Memorial, Korean War Memorial, Vietnam Memorial, Battle of Iwo Jima Memorial, and Arlington National Cemetery. At the Tomb of the Unknown Solider, Honor Flight veterans are quietly and respectfully acknowledged during the Changing of the Guard. This flight includes veterans from World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. CMHF’s 31st mission departs Columbia at 2 A.M. Monday, November 10, and returns to a rousing homecoming at 10:30 P.M. at the Courtyard Marriott. Traveling with the veterans will be a medical team as well as guardians who assist veterans with wheelchairs, walkers, oxygen and companionship on the flight. “The 2014 flight season was tremendously inspiring,” says Mary Paulsell, president of Central Missouri Honor Flight. “We surpassed the 30-flight mark, which is an amazing
milestone for any Honor Flight organization. And, thanks to the Veterans United Foundation, were honored to have a special Yellow Ribbon Honor Flight exclusively for veterans of the Vietnam War. “By the end of this year, we will have flown nearly 2,000 mid-Missouri veterans to Washington.” Veteran applications can be printed from the CMHF website at www.centralmissourihonorflight.com and returned via mail. What better way to support our veterans on the day before Veterans Day than to give these Honor Flight heroes the welcome home they deserve? Join us as they come off the buses at the Courtyard Marriott, 3301 Lemone Industrial Drive, Columbia for their homecoming with the Stars and Strips flying overhead! Bring banners, wave flags, and cheer loudly! Help bring in Veterans Day a day early by giving these heroes the homecoming they so richly deserve on Monday, November 10 in the final flight of the 2014 flight season!

My thought regarding a nation’s debts the men and women of our Military. Most of us have heard of a mortgage burning party, and The members of our government, have spent much time some of us have participated in such events. All veterans writing into law how our service men and women are to be should be able, in my opinion, to hand Uncle Sam the IOU treated from the time of their enlistment, during the time of he wrote to them, and celebrate as it gets burnt. their service, as well as how they are to be treated upon the We, as a nation, have come to a point in our history fulfillment of their duties. demanding we honor all of the IOUs we have issued to all I hope to see the day, the men and women in our government take the IOUs they have written to our veterans Honoring Those Who Served seriously. Taking that one step farther, I hope to Honoring Those Who Served see the day these same men and women take pride as they burn the IOUs they had written, rather than look for ways to discern which IOUs should be honored and which ones should be ignored. Some may say an IOU was never issued to our service men and women, but I say those IOUs are, if not issued, implied. While taking the Oath of service, I am not sure what is going through the minds of the men and women, as they vow: “I, ______, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military So help me God.” Honoring Those Who Served Honoring Those Who Served Justice. It is apparent they are accepting the fact the group they are joining is one of hazardous duty. I believe all of them are willing to accept that, while at the same time, knowing, if anything should happen to them, the government they have sworn to serve and protect will honor their Patriotism by taking care of them, in whatever manner may be needed. Leave No Veteran Asking, “Where Do I Go From Here?” Dreaming? Maybe. I pray for the day, our government plays by the same rules they write. “Where Service Is Our Middle Name” Our lawmakers have been, in the past, quick to 24 Hour Wrecker Service quote, to us, a law or a portion of a law we might 7 Days per Week Service & Tire 1205 N.

Veteran Shares His Experiences in Vietnam and What They Taught Him
Reverend Richard Pillers, who has ties in Macon County, asked that we share his story. It was first published in The Elsberry Democrat, written by Adam Presswood.
Honoring Those Who Served
La Plata, MO • 660-332-7421
Honoring Those Who Served
The face of Reverend Richard Pillers is a familiar one here in Elsberry, due largely to the fact that he has been the pastor at the Elsberry Assembly of God Church for the last 4 years. In that particular role Pillers fights the good fight of faith and battles to win lost souls. What many people probably aren’t aware of is that not so many years ago Pillers was called upon by Uncle Sam to fight a much different war, this one in the jungles of Vietnam. “In May 1968 I like so many others, left for the Army to be joined with a group of men who would become blood brothers for life,” said Pillers. After his induction, Pillers attended basic combat training and combat engineering school at Fort Leonard Wood. Pillers was also given Advanced Individual Training, or AIT. “After I received my diploma I was sent to RVN [Republic of Vietnam] School for a week,” said Pillers. “That’s training dealt with jungle warfare, booby traps and other things of that nature. I assume that all soldiers went through that it one way or another if they were headed over there. They told us we probably wouldn’t come back alive even before we left Fort Leonard Wood so I went over there with that attitude.” Pillers said he has very clear memories of his first day in Vietnam. “We flew in on a TWA flight and landed in Benoit at about 4 o’clock in the morning,” said Pillers. “As we came in it was pitch black. We landed on the runway and they marched us out of the plane in single file. It was like being in the belly of a fishing boat that just pulled in a load of tuna. It just turned your stomach. The humidity was around 98 degrees and it smelled terrible.” Pillers said he had watched the news about Vietnam on a regular basis before he was drafted, and even more so after being conscripted, but once he landed in the jungles of Southeast Asia it didn’t take him long to realize just how real the war was. “We were all standing in line that first morning waiting for breakfast when we heard some machine gun fire off in the distance.” Said Pillers. “When we finally realized that those shots weren’t part of a training exercise everybody got really quiet.” Pillers shared one particular close call that will always remain in this memory.

“It was my 22nd birthday and we were out on a really dangerous landing zone,” said Pillers. “We had already spent several days out there and it was time for us to come back. A Chinook helicopter was on its way out to get us when it suddenly started taking some pretty heavy rifle fire. The pilot turned the helicopter around and retreated, leaving us still out there. That was really a serious moment.” What made the experience of Vietnam even more difficult for Pillers was the knowledge that his efforts were not receiving popular support back home. “I was pretty avid about watching the news all the time before I went so I already knew a lot about what people thought and how they felt,” said Pillers. “That changed once I was over there. In Vietnam you weren’t just fighting for yourself and what believed in. You were also fighting for one another. That’s why the things that were going on back in the United States became so offensive to me.” That aside, Pillers quickly came to appreciate the fact that certain things about the war weren’t being handled appropriately. “I’m proud to have served,” said Pillers. “I supported the war back then and I still do today. What I don’t support is the way it was handled. I don’t feel that we were really at liberty to do the job were sent there to do. With all due respect to those in positions of authority I just kept going on and on. Now I think the government is doing everything it can to sweep the whole thing under the carpet.” Pillers served in Vietnam for 14 1/2 months and returned to the United States on New Year’s Eve 1969. “When I came out I had a different perspective on everything,” said Pillers. “My heart was more compassionate toward people. Maybe the war had more of a role to play in that than I care to believe.” Thanks to his service in Vietnam, Pillers also returned home with a greater appreciation for his homeland. “I was grateful that the war hand been over there and not here,” said Pillers. “We think we have a lot of problems over here, but it’s nothing like it could be.” Pillers entered the ministry on March 9, 1971. His experiences as a pastor combined with his time in Vietnam have given him a unique perspective on life. “We live in this world along with a lot of different people and it’s such a small world,” said Pillers. “When I went to Vietnam 46 years ago left Oakland, California and I was on the other side of the Earth in 17 hours. That’s not even a single day! I learned Continued on Page 3B

Veterans Day Facts
Veterans Day is a holiday that has come to mean more since September 11, 2001, and the U.S. military involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan. Originally started after World War I, the increasing number of veterans in recent years and the military commitments have made the holiday more important to contemporary society. More schools and businesses close, and celebrations have blossomed across the country. Despite those developments, there are still some questions about this national holiday. There’s even some question about the actual name of the day. Does the day belong to veterans? Should the name have an apostrophe? If so, does it belong to one veteran or all veterans? There is no apostrophe in the name because it is a day to honor all veterans. How is it different than Memorial Day? Memorial Day is meant to honor and remember veterans who have died in the service of their country or because of wounds from service. Veterans Day is meant to honor all veterans. It has taken on an increased awareness of living veterans, their service and the contributions they have made to national security in recent years. Veterans Day is not only a national holiday in the United States. Dating back to World War I, Canada, Australia and Great Britain all observe Remembrance Day on November 11. The celebrations are a little different in each place, but the overall intent is the same: to honor those who have served to protect the country. Parades, wreath laying and ceremonies mark celebrations in all three countries. While Veterans Day is a federal holiday, it is not universally observed. There is no requirement for businesses or state offices to close, although all federal services are suspended for the day. There is no federal law requiring all schools to close there is for other federal holidays, so each school district decides whether to follow Honoring Those Who Served as the observance. Unlike other national holidays that have been moved to Monday to create a long weekend, Veterans Day is always observed on November 11 regardless of the day on which it falls. Veterans groups have long lobbied for special recognition. Schools can and do choose to observe the holiday on different days of the week. The practice of wearing poppies on Memorial Day is a tradition that has gone largely unobserved by many in recent years. Many wonder if it is appropriate for Veterans Day as well. Officially, the wearing of poppies to remember war dead is precisely that—a remembrance for those who have died—and, because Veterans Day honors all veterans, the wearing of remembrance flowers is not a common practice. Many communities, however, are developing rituals and ceremonies to mark the holiday honoring all veterans.

When to Hunt Rut Bucks
The Importance of Hunting Does
Don’t let peer pressure keep you from hunting does. It is important to the overall success of all deer hunting. Wildlife managers have proven time and again the importance of taking does as well as bucks. Where the deer population has saturated the habitat’s carrying capacity, doe hunting is the best way to check the herd growth and prevent the overpopulation that can harm the area’s entire deer herd. Doe hunting also gives many hunters their only chance of putting venison in the freezer. Taking a eterans Day is November 11th. doe will definitely help the deer herd and is an ethical, There are more than 24 million veterans in the U.S. sportsmanlike practice.
During the rut, the majority of hunters are out before dawn and hunt the first 2 or 3 hours and then go in until late afternoon. However, bucks move all day long at that time, so you need to be out there all day long, too. Rutting activity usually only lasts a week or two, and as the rut winds down, a lot of hunters give up and head home. Be thankful and keep on hunting! Does will stay in estrus until bred, which means some bucks will still be seeking them. Action won’t be as hot and heavy, but as long as bucks are still seeking does, stick with calling, rattling and hanging scents. No matter how long you’ve been hunting, most likely you still get excited when it’s time to take the shot. If you concentrate on a small puff of hair or specific small area and then take a deep breath, slow down and place your arrow or bullet more accurately, you’ll get your deer.

Nov. 17-24: World’s largest christmas project opens collection sites in Macon This month, four locations in the Macon area will serve as collection sites for Operation Christmas Child—the world’s largest Christmas project of its kind. This annual Christmas project is a favorite for many residents, families, churches and groups, who want to help spread the season’s joy to millions of children around the world by filling shoeboxes with toys, school supplies and notes of encouragement. “Anyone can participate. Whether you are young or old, Operation Christmas
Child is a fun project that makes a tangible difference in the life of a child facing difficult circumstances,” said Macon volunteer Sherry Robertson. Through local drop-off sites, residents hope to contribute more than 4,276 giftfilled shoeboxes to the 2014 global goal of reaching 10 million children living in poverty, disease, and war. Since 1993, Operation Christmas Child has delivered gift-filled shoeboxes to more than 113 million children in over 150 countries. For many of these children, this gift-filled shoebox is the first gift they have ever received.

Tips for Beating the Winter Blues
Sniffles and flu are not the only afflictions of winter. Many people find that the dark and cold days can impact their mood. In fact, seasonal affective disorder (SAD) affects approximately 10 million Americans, and another 10 to 20 percent of the public may have mild SAD, according to Psychology Today. Coupled with busy lives, the winter blues can put extra strain on one’s relationships and psyche. Luckily there are simple lifestyle changes you can make to help lead a happier, less stressful life during winter. Healthy Habits Feeling blue can be compounded by unhealthy habits. Limit alcohol and get plenty of rest to feel your best. Eat foods beneficial to brain health, such as those that contain omega 3 fatty acids. Be sure to exercise daily, as physical activity can boost serotonin and dopamine levels in your brain. While the days may be shorter, try to take advantage of the sunlight each day with a brisk walk at lunch -- remember to bundle up though, a winter cold is never fun! Get Cozy One of the causes of winter blues is light deprivation. If you have a fireplace, counteract the shorter days by adding a fire to your daily routine. Dinner, reading, relaxing, watching TV, and even working can seem more enjoyable by adding the light and warmth of a fire, say the statistics. Indeed, 89 percent of people say having a fire is extremely important, important or somewhat important to their wintertime quality of life, according to a recent survey jointly conducted by the American Institute of Stress (AIS) and Duraflame, which creates fire-related products, including fire logs and fire starters. A fire can offer stress relief, creating an opportunity to gather friends and family in a relaxing ambiance. Whether you’re alone or with a group, consider making it a hasslefree experience by using a manufactured fire log, which produces robust, bright flames and burns significantly cleaner and more efficiently than a typical wood fire. Take a Breather Consider setting aside more time each day to mentally and physically recuperate. Nearly 60 percent of people take an hour a day or less to wind down and relax, according to the AIS and Duraflame survey, and more probably should. Try this quick stress relief exercise, “The Quieting Reflex,” recommended by Dr. Daniel L. Kirsch, president of AIS: • Smile inwardly with your eyes and mouth, relaxing your facial muscles. Think of something heartwarming or amusing while you do this. This starts to counter stress immediately. • Next think of the expression: “Alert Mind, Calm Body” to counter negative thoughts. • Slowly take a deep breath while visualizing it as warm air coming in from pores, or holes opening up in the bottom of your feet and slowly moving up into your lungs. • While you exhale, visualize a wave of warmth and relaxation slowly flowing through your body exiting through your feet, like the spreading warmth you feel when sitting by the fireplace. You can’t control the seasons, but by being proactive, you can get back to enjoying your winters.

Healthy Winter Skin Care Tips
Cool temperatures, low humidity, and furnace-blasted dry air can leave your skin dry, flaky, and itchy. Everyone needs to protect his or her skin from drying out in winter, but if you have certain skin conditions, you should step up your routine to keep your skin healthy. “Winter itch is a common name for the skin symptom of generalized itching in winter. While most commonly seen in the elderly and those with a history of asthma, allergies and eczema, anyone can experience winter itch,” says Dr. Vishakha Gigler, a board certified dermatologist. With that in mind, here are a few steps everyone can take to prevent and relieve dry itchy skin in wintry weather: • Avoid irritants. Try to avoid products that can irritate your skin, such as fragrance, dryer sheets, and fabric softeners. Use a hypoallergenic laundry detergent and wear soft fabrics such as cotton. • Add humidity to your home and office. Portable humidifiers or those that work with your heating system put moisture into the air that will be absorbed naturally by your skin and hair. • Wear sunscreen. Sunscreen may make you think of the beach, but it’s important in winter, too. Apply a moisturizing, broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 to exposed areas to protect from the sun’s harmful UV rays before heading outdoors. Look for sunscreens with hyaluronic acid in them. • Moisturize after showering. The most important thing with regards to bathing is your follow-up routine. Pat your skin dry with a towel and then apply a thick moisturizer. Apply in the morning and at night. • Alleviate winter itch: To alleviate itch safely and effectively, toss a topical treatment into your bag for the day. A topical non steroid-based treatment providing fast itch relief is best, and will help you avoid side effects like skin thinning, stretch marks, increased bruising and enlarged blood vessels. For example, TriCalm is a steroid free, fast acting itch relief gel that is five times more effective than steroid-based hydrocortisone 1% at reducing itch. More information can be found at www. tricalm.com. • Protect against windburn. When heading outside on cold days, avoid windburn and prolonged exposure by wearing a hat, scarf, and gloves. • Eat right. Stock up on foods with lots of healthy monounsaturated fats and omega-3 fatty acids, such as fish, nuts, olive oil, flax, sardines, and avocados. These foods promote good skin health. • Hand care. The skin on your hands is thinner than most parts of the body and has fewer oil glands. That means it’s harder to keep your hands moist, especially in cold, dry weather. This can lead to itchiness and cracking. Wear gloves outside; if you need to wear wool to keep your hands warm, slip on a thin cotton glove first, to avoid any irritation the wool might cause. This winter, avoid and relieve dry skin. With the proper skin care regimen, you will keep your skin smooth, healthy and itch-free.

Bits From Bucklin
by Doris Noah
GIT ‘ER DONE Many times a casual remark can lead to an ambitious project. Such was the case when Civic Club member Patty Gilmore was heard to comment, “Every time Rick and I go out of town I tell him how I would love to see the trash along Highway 129 picked up. All the way to Highway 36 there is just too much along the road.” Several responded, “Why not?” So, if you were traveling along that stretch of 129 on a bright October morning just last week you saw a great grandpa, a great grandma, three grandmas and one spry young woman of only 50 something in the ditches with bright yellow trash bags. The average age of the ditch cleaners was about 66 years but by golly they got ‘er done and filled 13 big bags. If you are headed in or out of town and even think of throwing out any garbage please think again and don’t do it. It was mentioned that this cleanup crew is not up to many more ditch cleanings. BUCKLIN MEMORIES Larry Hosford wrote in the Bulldog Tales an interesting article about growing up in the family owned Coen Hotel. He wrote, ‘As I grew up the town of Bucklin’s population was 842. The (9-12) high school had 120 students in it when I was a junior and 110 when I was a senior. We had two railroad depots, three gas stations, two hotels, and a sale barn next door east of where Bill and Jan Gillespie live now. I have many favorite memories of growing up in the hotel. I particularly remember getting a small bicycle for Christmas when I was almost 4 years old and learning to ride it around the office room before the Christmas tree was taken down on New Year’s Day. Living closely around so many people from all walks of life was a bigger learning experience than college. I had three parents (Grandma, Dad and Mom)! Ben Morgan was a retired farmer who could speak Welch as well as English. When I would get an earache he would blow smoke in my ear. He taught me the ABC’s backwards before I went to first grade at the age of 5. We would play dominoes and he would try to cheat me to force me to learn to count, add and subtract. Ben would laugh at me when I was learning my multiplication tables. I got mixed up at how fast I had to know them, and the next day at school I was the fastest in class even though many kids were smarter than yours truly. Larry Hosford. We appreciate this article and encourage you to send a Bucklin Memory to share. LAST TOUR THIS FALL This morning, October 30th, the weather man said frost in a couple of days will put an end to the fall flowers and late gardens we have enjoyed so much. Today the grass is as green as springtime and many are still getting fresh tomatoes from the garden. Not for long however so I charged up my old golf cart for a late summer/early fall tour while the temperature was still pleasant. As I left our yard a pair of robins drank at our bird bath and headed south while I watched. Smart birds. Evelyn Riley is the prize winner for tree color with a pair of Sugar Maples brilliant with leaves of every shade of orange and yellow this morning. Across the street on S. Linn, Roger and Diana Head have a lovely Sugar Maple as well. It is a close second. On Gentry Street Larry and Betty Mills have so many mums blooming it takes a bit to look them over. Stopping my old cart I enjoy the mums and observe how much remodeling the Mills have done. They are looking good as winter approaches. On Poplar Street Lynn Shipley is getting her decorations out and in place for Christmas. The Shipley’s yard is Bucklin’s answer to the KC Plaza lights. Don and Pat Shawn have a pretty Happy Halloween sign on their garage door to welcome little folks coming to trick or treat tomorrow night. The city park is quiet now with all the children in school. It is well mowed and looks good. Phillip Casady has plowed his garden already. The first one I have seen all laid by. He and Aleta have a big bed of Marigolds blooming in their front yard. All about town
these hardy old flowers are so colorful. They are about to get a visit from Jack Frost and I am not ready for that. Leighton Reid and Larry Hosford have their canna bulbs stored away in their basements already. Space does not permit a more complete review. Before heading back home I take a final tour of the cemetery. I will let you out of town readers know it looks mighty neat all mowed and trimmed. It is ready for winter. Near home I wave to Tom Dawdy as he mows his big yard. Tom moved into the ‘old school building’ and has a lot of grass to cut. He keeps busy with his repair shop open for business now. DATES TO REMEMBER November 2nd, Daylight Savings Time Ends! Clocks fall back one hour.

Prevent Insects From Infesting Stored Grain As corn yields exceed commercial storage space, farmers will likely store some of this year’s crop in onfarm bins and in unconventional ways. Stored grain attracts insects, and producers should take measures to protect their investment from insect damage, says Wayne Bailey, University of Missouri Extension entomologist. First, remove grain residues from bins, nearby bunks or feed storage areas, Bailey says. Sanitize empty bins, combines, trucks and augers, paying special attention to fans, with pre-harvest insecticide applications. For best results, apply to empty bin surfaces and surrounding areas six to eight weeks before harvest. Use a coarse spray of at least 30 psi to spray areas until wet. Insecticides are most effective when temperatures are 60 degrees or higher. Second, apply a labeled protectant surface spray on grain to be stored. Streams of grain are usually treated as they flow into storage structures. This is essential for grain that will be in storage through the summer months or longer, Bailey says. Long storage periods increase risk of infestation. Make a second application of insecticide on the top layer of grain. Fill bins only to the height of sidewalls and level grain before top-dressing. This helps prevent invading insects, especially Indian meal moth, from entering grain beneath the top surface. Bailey also suggests hanging pest strips in the bin above the grain to control moths. Third, monitor stored grain for pests. Bailey
recommends monthly visual checks from the roof access door from November through April, and checking at least twice a month from May through October. The surface and the central core of the grain are most often infested, but sample other areas also. A sour smell indicates a problem. You may also see clumped grain or condensation on the inside of the bin, webbing on the grain surface or the presence of insect larvae, adult beetles or moths. Do not walk on the top layer of treated grain. In addition to being a safety risk, this may crack open areas for insects to enter. Monitor grain on the inside of the bin by using plastic tube traps, probe traps or pheromone traps. Insert these to attract insects and determine the kind and number of insects present. If these traps are unavailable, look at grain that has been removed with a grain probe from the side door. Soybean is at less risk of infestation than corn if moisture is maintained at 13 to 14 percent, Bailey said. This is because soybean has high oil content. Infestation happens in as little as three to six weeks if you don’t sanitize bins and equipment prior to grain fill, he said. In normal years, fall temperatures usually allow the stored grain mass to cool to 50 to 55 degrees. This causes insects infesting the grain to become inactive. Some grain management recommendations suggest reducing the temperature of the grain mass to 35 to 40 degrees to restrict the development of molds. Grain should not be frozen when reducing grain-
mass temperature in the fall. During periods of warm fall weather, the risk of late-season insect infestations of stored grain increases. In the spring, the grain mass should be warmed to at least 60 degrees to prevent condensation of moisture on bin walls and subsequent damage from insects and molds. If you observe infestation, quit feeding the grain to livestock immediately. All applications should be performed by a licensed pesticide applicator. However, Bailey recommends using a professional pest control specialist to fumigate bins and other grain storage structures because of the hazards associated with poisonous gases emitted during fumigation.

Clarence Chronicles October 22, 2014 I do hope everyone is really enjoying this wonderful fall weather. I love it being nice and the weather today said up in the 70’s all next week. Just hope we have great weather for the kids to “Trick or Treat” next week. Saturday after work I had a special visitor. Granddaughter Norma came to visit. We got all dressed up and went to McDonald’s for supper and to see the movie “The Best Of Me”. I read the book by Nicholas Sparks about two years ago, then I re-read it again last month when I found out the movie was coming out. The book was great and even though the movie was changed a little it was still a great movie. Norma and I both had lots of fun. Norma stayed all night and Sunday morning we went to church. We then come home, had lunch and enjoyed the afternoon. Sunday night I went to Bible Study At Langhammer’s Cabin. This is a beautiful farm out on Daniel Boone Lake and the evening was perfect. We roasted hot dogs, and had a great time eating and visiting. We then went inside for the Bible Study that was lead by Dan Hogan. Those present were Dan and Kathy Hogan and their two daughters and son-inlaw. Herold Dean and Myrna Carothers, Shirley and Latrelle Walker, David and Sharon Jones, Sue Kilgore, Jane Oliver and myself. It was a great night and we all had a lot of fun, and we are learning a lot. Today I picked up my Granddaughters Norma and Bella Wood. They were here for awhile then they went to my neighbors Amanda Brown to play with her children. They had a lot of fun and made new friends. October 29, 2014 I was sick last Wednesday and I went to the doctor on Thursday and was told my ulcer is acting up again. I got new medicine. I did something I never do; I called in to work. Sunday I went to Church and Sunday night our weekly Bible Study was at our home. Kenny and I hosted and had a soup supper with everyone bringing a covered dish. Those present were Dan and Kathy Hogan, Amber Hogan, Sharon and David Jones, Shirley and Latrell Walker, Sue Kilgore, Kenny and myself. We had supper and did our Bible Study lesson. Then we discussed how we could best serve Jesus in our Community. We hope do help at the school during Christmas. I said that I feel that some elderly people

don’t decorate for Christmas because they are not able. Maybe we could put up their decorations and go back in January and take the decorations down. We prayed that God would lead us where He wants us to be. And show us who he wants us to help. I am so glad I have joined this Bible Study. The children of Jason and Amanda Brown have been raking leaves for us this week. They come over every day and rake the leaves that have fallen for the day. These children are so sweet and so good at raking. They are Madison, who is 9, Erica who is 8, and has the most beautiful cowboy boots I have seen. Logan is 7, and Olivia is 6. We have enjoyed having them help. Cody and I have visited with Bonnie and Gary Chadwell and Brownie twice this week. They are such good neighbors and they are going to Texas for the winter. They will leave next month and Cody, Kenny and I will miss them terribly. This next week I will be helping my Daughter Laura get ready for Kawlee and Aaron’s wedding. They are getting married Saturday November 8th. We are all so excited to have Aaron in our family. Praying all of you have a wonderful week. Patty

Cut to the Chase A Wish for Winter By Rebecca French Smith It’s interesting how as you get older your wish for winter weather changes. Every winter my sons’ fervent wish is that the skies will open up and dump several inches of cold, wet snow so they can stay home from school. Once upon a time, that was my wish, too, but now, my biggest wish is, if it happens, it happens on a Friday night so the roads will be clear by the time I need to go to work again. If it must snow, at least it should be convenient; unfortunately, we don’t always get what we wish for, either of us. So, this year, for fun, we’ve embarked on a little experiment: how to gauge what the winter will bring. Apparently, predicting how harsh or mild winter will be is somewhat of a hobby for some. Folklore cues are taken from acorn shells to squirrels and foggy mornings in August to rodents and bird migrations. Through the years, scientists have done studies on some of these tales to gauge their validity. Most have some sort of elusive truth to them. In a modern world, we’re fortunate to have science and technology guiding us, but even then forecasters fall back on the uncertainty clause, because, really, until it’s over, it’s anyone’s guess. What we do know is it will be colder, and if precipitation falls, it will likely be a frozen variety. Since I missed counting the foggy mornings in August, I’m relying on persimmons and woolly bears for the experiment. The persimmon tree in my yard produced ample fruit to dissect. The saying goes, if you cut open a persimmon seed you will see one of three things: a spoon, a fork or a knife. Those utensils are indicators of the types of precipitation that will come. Let’s just say, my boys were elated — spoons. Spoons mean wet snow, i.e. you’ll need a shovel. Forks mean powdery light snow and knives mean icy winds. We cracked about a dozen seeds and had about 90 percent spoons. As for woolly bears, the caterpillar of the Isabella tiger moth, they’re pointing to a milder winter. Their rustcolored bands are pretty wide in our neck of the woods, though I’m not sure what their definition of “mild” is. A narrow band would indicate a harsh winter. The weather forecasters are saying that the polar vortex won’t likely be visiting us again this year, thank goodness. But, we’ll see. It depends on what your definition of “polar vortex” is and for that matter what your definitions of “mild” and “harsh” are. Winter is in the eye of the beholder, so you just might get what you wish for. As for my experiment, we’ll have to wait until next spring to find out, but truth be told, I’m wishing for snow, too.

Harvest Delays Affect Wheat Planting
When rain pushes back harvest of corn and soybean, it also means that wheat planting faces delays. Farmers must decide whether or not to plant wheat this year because of late planting dates. Planting date has a big effect on wheat yield and profitability, said Bill Wiebold, University of Missouri Extension specialist. Growth rate and winter survival are tightly linked to temperature after planting, and the number of warm days is shrinking. Predicting yield based upon planting date is difficult, Wiebold said. Wheat is a cool-season grass planted in the fall and harvested in late spring to early summer, with a winter dormant period in between. Wheat grows at a minimum temperature of about 40 degrees, but it grows very slowly at lower end of the range. To maximize growth, three things must happen during the autumn growing period, said MU Extension wheat specialist Brent Myers. First, wheat must develop a root system that resists heaving, which occurs when water freezes and thaws beneath the wheat crown. Second, the wheat needs to store sugars to feed early spring growth and protect the growing point from freezing. Third, wheat plants grow tillers in the fall that produce grain heads in the spring. Lack of warm temperatures reduces
the number of tillers that can be produced, resulting in less yield. Little data exists to predict wheat yield response to planting date, Myers said. In the 2013-14 winter wheat season, MU Extension researchers began an experiment on the effect of planting date on wheat yield at MU’s Bradford Research Center. Wiebold says there is not enough information to develop recommendations yet; results from the first year are similar to data from states adjacent to Missouri. Perhaps the best place to begin a discussion wheat planting date is with the fly-free date of the Hessian fly, recognized as the optimum date for planting wheat, Wiebold said. The female Hessian fly lays eggs on wheat seedlings. Maggots that hatch from those eggs feed by drinking plant juices from leaves. Adult flies die in early fall when temperatures drop. The fly-free date in Missouri runs Sept. 28 along the Iowa border to Oct. 17 in the Bootheel. Winter wheat harvested in Missouri in 2014 was down 25 percent from the previous year, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture report on Sept. 30. Winter wheat yield is estimated at 58 bushels per acre, up 1 bushel per acre from 2013.

Dialysis Services Available in Kirksville Dialysis services are now available at Northeast Regional Medical Center through Sanderling Dialysis Center. The center recently opened inside the hospital, offering new services to the community to give patients with end-stage renal disease access to dialysis resources close to home. Highly qualified staff uses upto-date equipment and technology to provide high quality, compassionate care to dialysis patients. Dialysis coverage is now available 24 hours a day, meaning that patients may now receive dialysis treatments during their stay in the hospital or visit to the emergency room. Patients no longer have to travel outside the community for these services.
Nocturnal dialysis is another option available to patients. It replaces three to four hour daytime sessions with “dialyze-while-you-sleep” nighttime sessions. The longer sessions provide more comprehensive dialysis than conventional daytime sessions and offer the convenience of taking place while patients are asleep without disturbing their normal routine. An advantage seen by many nocturnal dialysis patients is the possibility of decreasing the medications they need to take. For example, the longer sessions remove more phosphorus than conventional dialysis. So, many patients can lower the number of phosphate binders they have to take, and some
Shanahan Stories Patrick Shanahan Memories and Imagination DIGGING “What’s wrong?” I asked. “NOTHING,” was Sandra’s exasperated reply. Like every other married man I recognized that tone and knew enough to back off. A short while later, when I spied my eleven year old daughter, Amy, carrying the vacuum cleaner canister to the back porch, I realized that I had stumbled into a crisis. During my daughter’s interrogation, she admitted that mother lost her wedding ring. “Well, where did she lose it?” I questioned. Amy rolled her eyes. “Dad, if she knew where she lost it, it wouldn’t be lost, would it?” I mumbled under my breath that she was just like her mother. I knew that all of the obvious places would have been checked, like around the kitchen sink, the counter tops, and under the couch cushions, along with our bedroom. Of course I wanted to help, so I decided to conduct my own search and the first and best place to look, I determined, was her car. I quietly disappeared into the garage, where her five year old Camry was parked; a car that I washed and serviced, but never cleaned inside. The interior of that car, and Sandy’s walk-in closet, were her war rooms and I avoided them at all cost, unless I was accompanied or had business there. I had a war room too, my basement workshop. Entering her car always gave me the same “wow” feeling you get when you first enter an upscale hotel room. As I sat in the driver’s seat, my eyes scanned

are able to completely discontinue the medications. Nocturnal hemodialysis also has a major positive effect on both cardiac function and blood pressure. Many cardiac patients need to take fewer prescription cardiovascular medications. Some patients also can enjoy a less restricted diet as a result of nocturnal dialysis.

the dash board and the seats before I dropped down both visors. After replacing the several business cards that landed in my lap, my fingers probed between the cushions in the front seat. Nothing! When I started digging through the center console, I entered a whole new world. On top was a crushed box of Handi Wipes covering a Meatloaf CD. Digging deeper, I found three bottles of perfume, a jar of hand cream, paper clips, and several nail files. When I got to the bottom I discovered that at one time a soft drink was spilled and created a sticky mass that imprisoned several packets of McDonald’s ketchup, two ball point pens and sixty two cents in change. After replacing the contents of the console, my investigation continued as I knelt on the garage floor and looked under the seats. Other than two petrified french-fries, a missing child’s glove and a Candy Kiss, I came up empty. I unwrapped the candy, which no longer looked like a Parcheesi token with the little pointed top. Now it resembled a chewed piece of bubble gum, except it wasn’t pink. I pondered whether it was safe to eat and as the debate raged, I popped it into my mouth. As I sucked on the melting chocolate I forced myself to dismiss thoughts about any kind of malady that I may have subjected myself to. I’m a man, what can I say. I knew the chance that the ring could be anywhere near the back seat was practically non existent, but on a whim I dropped the arm rest between the seats and out popped my sister-in- law’s cell phone. The phone that she swears was “stolen” two years earlier, on the morning I dropped her off in the dark at the Kansas

City International Airport. My search wasn’t exactly a pilgrimage, but I reasoned that although privacy should trump curiously, my objective was far from being a nosey husband. As my journey continued I sat in the passenger’s seat while emptying the glove box. On top was the zip lock bag containing the car registration and the proof of insurance. Next, was the unused and long forgotten owner’s manual that was covered by a broken pair of sun glasses. With my curiosity peaked I pulled out a handful of envelopes containing expired tire, battery and other service related warranties, and along with several state maps, dropped them on the floor. At the bottom was a useless flashlight with batteries older than some of my children. Then I found it: the football needle that I tore the house apart looking for several years earlier. How did that ever get here? I wondered. My last discovery was an ancient roll of Tums and several long expired discount coupons, but at that point I’d nearly forgotten the quest. After hastily replacing everything I rushed to the basement and using my new found “football needle” inflated every pneumatic ball I could find. Eventually my joy was tempered when I remembered the serious mission I was on. How inflating a couple of soccer balls, a basketball, and a football could put any man in such a joyous mood would be hard for many to understand, especially a spouse who lost her wedding ring. When I returned upstairs I was as serious as a traffic cop. When I found my wife sitting at her computer I noticed she was wearing her ring. “Where did you find it?” I asked. “Find what?” “You know, your ring. The one you lost.” She didn’t even look up. “Oh, it wasn’t lost, just misplaced. I left it in the soap dish in my bathroom.” Since disaster was avoided I just shook my head and laughed. It was time to put the shovel down and stop digging before I got myself into trouble. Besides, I needed to search the garage, for more inflatable balls.

Improvements to USDA Beginning Farmer Loans
USDA recently announced several changes to Farm Service Agency (FSA) loan programs, changes designed to help more beginning farmers and ranchers. The new “interim final rule” will increase the Microloan limit from $35,000 to $50,000. This program provides a simplified application process and a seven year payback. Microloans can be used for approved operating expenses, such as seed, fertilizer, utilities, land rents, marketing, distribution, living expenses, livestock, equipment, hoop houses, tools, irrigation and delivery vehicles. USDA is also changing the “experience” requirement for FSA Direct Farm Ownership loans. Previously, applicants had to prove they participated in the operations of a farm for at least three years. Beginning farmers across the country identified this restriction as a real barrier. It is not reflective of current realities in which new farmers enter agriculture. The change will allow beginning farmers and ranchers to substitute one year of that three-year requirement with a formal farming apprenticeship, operation or management of a non-farm business, leadership or management experience while serving in any branch of the military, advanced education in an agricultural field, and significant experience in a farm-related agricultural career. USDA also proposes changing the types of farming entities eligible to apply, potentially opening the door to nonmajority investors who are not actively farming or managing the operation. We’ll watch these changes closely. The deadline to submit public comments on these changes to the USDA is December 8, 2014. Contact Traci Bruckner, tracib@cfra. org, for more information.

Using the Wind when Deer Hunting
If winds are strong, it makes deer nervous because they can’t depend on their sense of smell. They tend to move around less and stay away from open areas. You need to know where deer like to hide when the wind blows. Try low-lying areas that are heavily forested or thick with brush. These areas act as windbreaks, giving them a sense of security. A good place to look is where streams flow around and through fields or forests. Hunt the downwind side while carefully watching for hidden or bedded deer. Another thing you can do is a deer drive through the area. Have one hunter set up downwind, while others start at the far side. Between the noise and human odor, deer should make themselves visible to the downwind hunter. Always be aware of the wind blowing your scent to deer no matter where you’re hunting.

How to Tag a Rain Deer A light rain really doesn’t affect deer, and they go about their normal feeding and movement patterns. If you’re properly dressed for rain, it’s a great time to hunt. One reason is there are fewer hunters to compete with. The wet ground and rain on the leaves also make it easier for you to move around in the woods undetected. Rain also helps mask your scent. With fewer hunters in the woods on rainy days, it also gives deer confidence to move around and gives you a great chance to take a rain deer. Heavy rains and thunderstorms though will cause them to bed down in a sheltered area and make them difficult to hunt. It pays to know where they seek shelter on rainy and windy days.
You need to know where deer like to hide when the wind blows. Try low-lying areas that are heavily forested or thick with brush. These areas act as windbreaks, giving them a sense of security. A good place to look is where streams flow around and through fields or forests. Hunt the downwind side while carefully watching for hidden or bedded deer. Another thing you can do is a deer drive through the area. Have one hunter set up downwind, while others start at the far side.

Don’t Make a Rookie Mistake When Driving Around Big Rigs We see it on our roadways every day experienced and older drivers who have become complacent in their daily commute or weekly travel, zipping in and out of traffic and not thinking about the rules of sharing the road with big rigs. At up to 20 times the weight of a passenger vehicle, these big rigs can cause serious and often fatal injuries when involved in a crash. With so many large trucks on our roadways it’s imperative that drivers of passenger vehicles use extreme caution when maneuvering around those big rigs. Motorists are urged to share the road, respect each other, pay attention and avoid unsafe behavior that could result in a crash. “Research indicates that drivers of passenger cars are responsible for 70 percent of the fatal crashes involving large trucks,” said Dr. Leanna Depue, executive chair of the Missouri Coalition for Roadway Safety. “In fact, the actions of the automobile driver are more than three times likely to contribute to a fatal crash than the actions of the truck driver.” During the Commercial Vehicles Safety Alliance (CVSA) Operation Safe Driver Week, October 19–25, Missouri law enforcement agencies will pay special attention to commercial vehicle drivers’ compliance with safety regulations. They will also watch for unsafe and aggressive driving behaviors by both passenger and commercial drivers on highways and local roads. “The intent of Operation Safe Driver Week is to improve driver behavior and
performance through effective enforcement, education and awareness,” said Colonel Ron Replogle, superintendent of the Missouri State Highway Patrol. Missouri statistics reveal that it’s our older driver population that most often encounter collisions by underestimating size, distance and speed of big trucks. All motorists, even those who have been driving for years, need to always remember the following safety tips when driving near a big truck: · Stay out of the No Zone. Don’t linger alongside a truck or bus - you could be driving the No-Zone. · Stay visible! Never underestimate the size and speed of an approaching tractortrailer. · Don’t tailgate a truck. The farther you are from a truck the less likely you will be involved in a collision. · Don’t speed. Obey all speed limits. · Allow plenty of room. Large trucks need more room to make turns and maneuver in traffic. · Use your headlights in inclement weather. Lights make cars more visible to truck drivers. A gray car against a gray highway on a gray, rainy day is hard to see. · Buckle Up. Wearing your safety belt is the single most important thing you can do to save your life in a crash. Protect yourself and your passengers by learning how to share the road safely with large vehicles and avoid distracted driving.
Silver Haired Legislature Choose Their Priorities The 41st Annual Conference of the Silver Haired Legislature took place at the State Capitol in Jefferson City on October 22, 23, and 24. The 116 delegates in attendance chose their Top Five Priorities and formulated plans to advocate for Senior issues during the coming legislative session. After spirited debates in the Legislative chambers, the delegates chose these issues as their Top Five Priorities for the 2015 legislative session: 1. Restore funding for Home-Delivered and Congregate meals provided by the Area Agencies on Aging. 2. Increase funding for programs and services provided by the Area Agencies on Aging. 3. Expand Medicaid eligibility from the current level to 138% of the federal poverty level. 4. Increase MO HealthNet allowable Asset Level to $2,000 for an individual
and $4,000 for a couple. 5. Retain the Property Tax Credit known as the ‘Circuit Breaker’. Anyone interested in learning further details about the priorities of the Silver Haired Legislature is encouraged to call or e-mail Pam Windtberg, SHL Coordinator, Northeast Missouri Area Agency on Aging at 800-6646338, nemoaaa@sbcglobal.net or SHL Delegate, Mary Lou Brennan, at 573-2483104, mlb2006@charter.net. Missouri’s Silver Haired Legislature was founded in 1973, the first in the nation after the Older Americans Act was amended to include advocacy groups. The SHL is composed of fifteen volunteers from each of the ten statewide Area Agencies on Aging. These 150 senior advocates, elected by their peers, identify and advocate for issues critical to older Missourians.

Ann Bibbs Earns CMU Award
PAY FOR 3 WEEKS AND GET THE 4TH WEEK
Only $8.00 Per Week for up to 20 words, 25¢ a word thereafter.
Ann Bibbs of Anabel has been named to the Term One Academic Achievement Award list at Central Methodist University, according to Dr. Rita Gulstad, Provost. Bibbs achieved a perfect 4.0 grade point average for the term as a full-time student at CMU. Academic Achievement Award students at CMU also must possess at least a 3.50 cumulative GPA at the University. Since its founding in 1854, CMU has evolved into a university that confers master’s, bachelor’s and associate’s degrees through programming on its main campus in Fayette, Mo., and through extension sites located across Missouri and online. Joe Koenen, Agri-Business Specialist
ARM PROGRAM DECISIONS I attended training last week on the new Farm Bill as well as income taxes. While both are things farmers will need to know, today I will discuss some thoughts on the Farm Bill. I know most of you know that a new Farm Bill is in place now. After last week and other information I’ve received, here are my early thoughts about it. First, it will require producers {crop producers in particular} to study it over and know what they are getting before signing up. There are multiple choices and so you need to know what it’s all about. Second, the Farm Service Agency and University of Missouri Extension will be holding meetings in every county to explain these new provisions. I know many of you are still harvesting and so those will be held after that. Be checking newspapers and newsletters for locations and times. Third, you have more than one thing to decide and you have plenty of time to make those decisions so don’t think you have to go in today and then end up making the wrong choice. Fourth, there are decision aids {spreadsheets} out there to assist you but you need to know all the facts before utilizing them. That’s where Extension and others can help you. Fifth, you received a sheet from FSA a little while back with acres and you need to keep it. Finally, the decisions you make in early 2015 will continue for several years so making the right one is that important. Keep up with when and where meetings will be held and if you don’t know don’t be afraid to ask. You can contact me at 947-2705 or koenenj@missouri.edu for more information on meetings as we set them down the road. REMINDERS The Lady Landowners Meeting in Browning has been moved to November 21st so please change that and register as you have more time. It will run from 10 AM to 3 PM with lunch being served. There is no cost and topics include: Ag Land Rents and Trends, Utilizing Cows as Fertilizer Spreaders, Meat Labels and What They Mean, Horticultural Update and an update on FSA, NRCS and SWCD programs. Contact 265-4541 to pre-register. Don’t forget that Annie’s Project I, a 6 week class for farm women beginning November 11th in Unionville still has openings. It goes from 6 to 9 PM each night with a light meal also. Topics covered will be: women and money, estate planning, insurance, leases and legal issues, marketing and finance. It costs $75 per person. Contact 947-2705 or koenenj@missouri.edu if you’re interested.

We enter the Halloween time with warm weather and some foggy mornings. Farmers are still running hard to finish harvesting.
