Proficiency Award Nominee
Employee Health Insurance At Issue
Local Member Is National Finalist Editor’s Note: The following story, provided by the Missouri FFA, is about Trenton FFA member Teresa Yoder, who is a national finalist for the FFA Agricultural Processing Proficiency Award. She is one of four finalists for the award, with the winner to be announced during the National FFA Convention next week in Indianapolis, IN. For a 17- or 18-year-old, procrastination often comes easy. Yet digging in and getting the work done is what helped Trenton FFA member Teresa Yoder become a national finalist in the agricultural processing proficiency award area. T.K.’s Processing is a 50/50 joint venture Yoder owns with her mom. The supervised agricultural experience project came about through Yoder’s ongoing desire to own a butcher shop. Her mom had experience with that type of

a business and agreed to be her partner. Once Yoder turns 18, she will become the sole proprietor. As a processing facility for deer and chickens, Yoder serves customers in her community. She spends time after school and on weekends processing deer from the carcass down to burger, steaks, roasts and jerky. Snack sticks, summer sausage and trail bologna are also fabricated. While the business initially only processed deer, this past summer chickens were added to the mix. In addition to handling the processing duties — including trimming, cleaning and packaging — Yoder also tackles pricing products, ordering supplies and calling customers once orders are ready for pick up. “It really is a lot of work, but it is something I enjoy being a part of,” Yoder says. Having enough capital to pay for

supplies, equipment and the building set up was Yoder’s biggest challenge when she began the business. Because her parents once owned a processing facility, Yoder was able to purchase some of that equipment. “In 2017, I spent a lot of time and money working on the shop to get it ready to use,” Yoder explains. “The facility hadn’t been in operation for sev-

ministered through the college. Head Start CoDirector Sue Ewigman told trustees the program met funded enrollment for September and discussed changes in the policy council meeting time. Construction of the new building at Trenton is under way, with footings poured for the structure. Trustees approved the training/technical assistance plan and the organization’s selfassessment, as well as the five-year FY2020 grant application. The program is applying for federal funds in the amount of $2,329,519 with an additional $580,130 from non-federal resources. The application allows for 227 federally-funded enrollment slots for the first year, 27 of which are designated for Early Head Start home-based services and the remaining 200 slots designated for preschool Head Start center and home-based services. Mrs. Ewigman said that during the second year, more slots would be converted to the home-based Early Head Start program and the third year more would be converted to the Early Head Start program in centers. The grant would run through 2025. In other business, the board: • heard a report from NCMC President Dr. Lenny Klaver, who discussed recent meetings he has attended and upcoming events on the campus, including the annual NCMC Legislative Forum, which will be held on Monday, Nov. 18. • heard a report from Dean of Instruction See NCMC, Page 7
First-Degree Murder
Braymer Man Is Charged A Braymer cattle farmer waived formal arraignment on Thursday in the Caldwell County Circuit Court after being charged on Wednesday with two counts of first-degree murder in connection with the death of two brothers from Wisconsin. Garland Nelson, 25, is also charged with two counts of abandonment of a corpse, two counts of tampering with physical evidence in a felony
prosecution, two counts of armed criminal action, tampering with a motor vehicle and unlawful possession of a firearm. Nelson is accused of shooting Nick Diemel, 35, and Justin Diemel, 24, of Shawano County, WI, then burning their bodies and dumping the remains on a manure pile on his property. The brothers had traveled to Nelson's farm to collect on a $250,000 debt, according to a probable cause
statement. The father reported his sons missing July 21 after they failed to show up for a flight home to Milwaukee and did not answer their phones. Nelson is being held in the Caldwell County Jail in lieu of bond and is scheduled to appear in court again on Nov. 14 for a preliminary hearing setting/waiver. If convicted of murder, Nelson could face life in prison without parole or the death penalty.

Grant Application Approved
North Central Missouri College trustees on Tuesday night heard a presentation by students in the business program, approved the purchase of a golf cart and voted to extend its lease on the North Belt Campus facility in Country Club. Three students in the business program, Katie Atkison, Shiann Campbell and Justin Pribyl, presented information on the business and technology program at the college. Ms. Atkison discussed some of the trips made by students to see how businesses are operated, including to Arrowhead Stadium, Shatto Dairy and Missouri Star Quilt Company. She also discussed guest speakers who have shared their business experience and expertise with the students. Ms. Campbell told about the various service projects that business students are involved with, including holding a canned food drive, sponsoring a SkillsUSA competition and establishing a career closet that provides clothing for students who need professional dress for interviews, etc. The group also makes and sells t-shirts for organizations on campus. Pribyl summarized his experience at NCMC, saying that he has been impressed with his instructors and how much he has learned. He also said that he is planning to transfer to Northwest Missouri State University in Maryville and said that process has been easy. The three were accompanied by instructors Sarah Bird, Cory Cooksey, Missie Cotton and Ronda Copple. Trustees approved several items related to the Green Hills Head Start program, which is ad-
eral years and needed a number of repairs and modifications.” The experience her parents brought to the table was invaluable, Yoder says. “During the first year of operation, (my mom) was often looking over my shoulder, guiding me in what was right and wrong,” Yoder says. “In the fall of

Representatives of the health insurance carrier for Grundy County employees met with the county commission on Tuesday in an effort to explain issues the employees are having with using the insurance at Wright Memorial Hospital and other Saint Luke’s Health System facilities. Ron Koehly of KoehlyBaker Insurance of Chillicothe and Dale Phillips of Colonial, the supplemental “bridge” insurance company used by the county, met with the commission following reports that, as of Sept. 1, Saint Luke’s Health System is no longer an in-network provider of services through Lifestyles, the county’s insurance carrier, and in some cases is not accepting the insurance at all. Koehly indicated that the issue appears to be “all a big misunderstanding” and said that “hundreds of thousands of people are going to Saint Luke’s in Kansas City every day” and are in network and having their insurance accepted. He did admit, however, that as of Tuesday, those calling a Saint Luke’s hospital or clinic and inquiring as to whether or not they are an innetwork provider, may be told that they are not. He said the issue is really between Saint Luke’s and Aetna, which handles First Health Network, the network used by Lifestyles. According to Grundy County Clerk Betty Spickard, Lifestyles is the parent company of Medova, which is where the county’s insurance premiums are sent. The commission is concerned that those using Saint Luke’s and are being billed for out-of-network services that are not covered may have those bills turned over to collections while the issue is being resolved. At Tuesday’s meeting, which was held at 2 p.m., Presiding Commissioner Phil Ray asked Koehly to put the explanation for the issue and steps being taken to resolve it in a letter, on company letterhead, to be sent to all employees who participate in the county’s health insurance. He also asked that Koehly provide an update on the progress of the resolution within seven days. Koehly contacted Mrs. Spickard around 4 p.m. on Tuesday, indicating the company will be switching to a different network of providers, PHCS, retroactive to Sept. 1. Mrs. Spickard said Koehly indicated he will be emailing a letter to her that will be distributed to all county employees who participate in the insurance program. Employees will also be receiving a new insurance card that will indicate that the provider network is PHCS.

Mark Trump races past a Polo defender during Trenton’s first win of the season last week. Trump has rushed for 691 yards on the year.
HUNGRY FOR MORE Trenton Hopes To Repeat The Success Of Season’s First Win Kevin Hixson took an extra day to celebrate his first victory as the head coach of the Trenton High School football team. But not by choice. Hixson was told he could not get into the building on Saturday, so it wasn’t until Sunday that he broke down Friday night’s game film and began to prepare for his week 9 opponent - the Maysville Wolverines. It took eight weeks for Hixson and the Bulldogs to get the taste of victory and the win over Polo only increased Trenton’s hunger for more success. “It was big for those seniors to finish at C.F. Russell and go out that way,� Hixson said of last week’s victory. This week in Maysville, Trenton might be getting its last opportunity to put another check in the win column. Week 10 will bring the district playoffs and, for Trenton, a likely road trip to a school ranked among the top five in the state. The monumental task that will represent has put added importance on this week’s match-up
with the Wolverines. “It’s an opportunity, the last conference game of the season,� Hixson said. “We are both 1-whatever and somebody is going to walk away with two wins under their belt. It’s going to be the team that shows up, plays the hardest, plays the longest and makes the fewest number of mistakes. So we have to go out and just be more physical than them on defense.� Maysville, like all teams in the Grand River Conference, is a running team. The Wolverines have piled up 81 percent of their offensive yards on the ground this season. Maysville divides its carries pretty evenly between quarterback Mallen Cole and running backs Jake Redman and JaKob Wade. Slowing down the Maysville rushing attack will start with being disciplined up front, knowing any one of three players could get the ball on any given play. “I think their quarterback is the better runner of the three,�  Hixson said. “He is really the guy you have to contain. He is
a junior and pretty athletic. Any big plays they have had, they have been created by him.� In the air, Maysville has struggled. The Wolverines have completed just 37 percent of their passes this year, getting just two touchdowns compared to eight interceptions. That will bode well for a Trenton team that is more experienced up front at the point of attack than in the secondary. Offensively, Trenton just needs to keep doing what it has done over the past handful of games. Running backs Jaren Whitney and Mark Trump have come on strong and both rushed for well over 100 yards in last week’s win over Polo. Whitney has reached 752 yards on the season while Trump sits at 691. “When I came in I really wanted to run some Flexbone stuff and do some different looks, different formations,� Hixson said. “Due to injury and some different things, we had to find something that just fits us and I think what we are doing with this split-back at-
tack does that. Mark is a downhill go-ahead and punish youtype runner and then Jaren has a little juke to him and he has some speed. So we have just been trying to work to their strengths and find some blocking schemes to set stuff up for them. Luckily for us it has been working and working pretty well. I hope they both go out and have big nights Friday.� Maysville’s defense has seen mixed results defending the run. The Wolverines limited Gallatin and Polo to under 100 yards rushing and held Princeton to just 116 yards on the ground. Last week, however, Maysville surrendered 277 yards rushing to the Torque Brundage-led Putnam County Midgets. Against South Harrison, Maysville allowed 376 yards rushing. How the Wolverines fare in slowing down Whitney and Trump will go a long way toward determining the outcome of tonight’s game. Trenton and Maysville will kick off from the Cemetary Bowl at 7 p.m.

“It took us a little bit to settle in and realize mentally that we could play with Savannah,� Bowden said. “Volleyball can be such a mental game, if things don’t fall the way that we would like.� Trenton was led by two kills and two blocks from McCullough and Libby Fewins had two kills, a block and a dig. Simpson handed out five assists, Allen had an ace and a kill, Roberts had one assist and two digs and Natalie Ricker and Jessa Shipley each had two digs as well. It was Senior Night for the Bulldogs, who honored Allen, Klinginsmith, Fewins, Tierney Doolittle and Jamie Burkeybile. “The crowd support for senior night was amazing,� Bowden said. “We appreciate each person who has contributed to the team this year. We have had great support from our fans and families.� Trenton fell 25-10, 25-18 in JV action against Savannah and lost a C match with the Savages, 25-9, 25-17.

The Trenton High School volleyball team continues to be stuck on 10 wins after suffering losses on Monday and Tuesday. Trenton traveled on Monday to face St. Joseph Christian, where the Bulldogs fell 25-13, 25-17. A return home wasn’t much help on Tuesday as Trenton was handed a 25-9, 25-17 loss on their home floor by the Savannah Savages. Against St. Joseph, Evy McCullough had two kills and three blocks while Mackenzie Klinginsmith and Allena Allen each tallied one kill. Ava Simpson had assists on all four kills Trenton totaled in the loss and Olivia Roberts added one dig. “We started in a hole in the first set, but were able to battle back and be competitive,� Trenton Head Coach Pam Bowden said. “We told the girls to hold their heads high, St. Joe Christian is a great team.� Trenton dropped the junior varsity contest 25-14, 25-20. A slow start was the chief culprit in the varsity’s Tuesday loss as Savannah cruised to a 25-9 win in the opening game. Trenton again stepped its competitive level up in game two, but the Savages held on to win 25-17 and seal the match victory.

Five Points by Wendell Lenhart
More Downtown Happenings One of Trenton’s newest business ventures is off to a rousing start. Main Street Mercantile is now open for business at 905 Main St. in downtown Trenton. A project of Downtown Trenton and the Trenton Downtown Improvement Association, the Mercantile is an incubator of sorts, housing several local businesses that are trying to build a clientele so that at some point they can be a destination on their own. Current tenants include a bakery, locally-raised beef, wooden floral designs, handcrafted leather, repurposed furniture, home decor and Wendell Lenhart women’s clothing and accessories. Ice cream is also available. The Mercantile is open on Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Business has been good the first few weeks the Mercantile has been open and it’s worth the trip to check out what is being offered for sale. Hopefully, these businesses will be able to grow and expand in the future and it helps them all to be in one place now where customers can shop them all in a single trip. It is also helping to replace an empty storefront downtown with an attractive building and more shopping traffic for the whole community. ##### The recent snap of cold weather this week, unfortunately, makes you think of the approaching winter. What a doozy it was last year starting with a blizzard on Thanksgiving Sunday and snowfall like we hadn’t seen around here in many years. You know it’s been a tough winter when it’s difficult to open the mailbox with all the snow that’s been shoveled up and piled around it from the frequent snowstorms. The long-range weather forecasts can be all over the map and one I have seen calls for a roller coaster of a winter with alternating stretches of extreme cold and snow and then moderate temperatures and precipitation. The most recent one I have seen says this: A milder than normal start to the winter season in December across the central plains states. But it won’t last long. Arctic air is expected to surge into the region several times during the season, but it’s hard to predict exactly when those times will occur. Normal to above normal snowfall totals are expected for the central plains.

Urban Violence by Phill Brooks, Director Missouri Digital News The decision of Missouri's governor to assign more state law enforcement officers to the St. Louis area to resolve firearm violence does not address the underlying issues I've heard expressed for decades from St. Louis area leaders and cops.
Guest Editorials By way of background, I'm a pretty conservative and rural-background person with no inner-city experience. But as a statehouse reporter, urban sources have given me a deep understanding about the complexities underlying the violence we're seeing in our metro areas. One of my best teachers about those complexities has been Jamilah Nasheed, who's served in both the House and Senate from St. Louis city (now serving her last year in Missouri's Senate). Nasheed has a deep understanding about this issue Growing up in a St. Louis city housing project, she'd been a member of a street gang in her teen years when she stabbed another. Her father was killed from a drive-by shooting and her mother died from a self-inflicted gunshot. Yet, Nasheed rose to found a business and to serve in Missouri's General Assembly where she quickly caught my attention in her first year. She passionately has stressed to me that the answer to urban violence is to provide alternative settings and environments for children before they essentially drop out. Nasheed said expanded city libraries, more positive youth opportunities, more engaged schools and more job opportunities could be among the alternatives to kids from joining gangs and violence. Her passion went beyond just words. Early on, I discovered she regularly visits the homes of children skipping school to encourage their parents and guardians to keep their kids in class. She founded a program in St. Louis seeking to keep kids in school. She rose above partisan barriers. Although a Democrat, she supported a Republican for governor, Peter Kinder, because of GOP support for alternatives to troubled public schools. I heard similar themes in the aftermath of the Ferguson shooting and riots. At one legislative hearing in the aftermath of Ferguson,
a St. Louis area religious leader testified about the importance of religious institutions to help develop a culture against violence. Another perspective for me came from a top St. Louis police leader. Gov. Jay Nixon's response to Ferguson was to flood the town with military assault vehicles and National Guard officers carrying high-powered weapons. Out-of-town cops will not solve this problem, that police leader told me. More important, he said, was to have more local beat cops, walking the streets. That's how you discover from neighbors who are potential trouble makers. It's also how a cop can develop a relationship with a troubled kid to steer the youngster away from gangs and violence. Tougher state law enforcement in the St. Louis area including Highway Patrol "surges" of Interstate highways as the governor initiated falls short of what I've been told over the years are the effective approaches to the underlying causes of teenage urban violence. It does not deal with the culture of inner-city violence that have deep roots which our state officials have failed to address for years. It does not provide alternatives to kids to avoid gangs, drugs and street crime. With St. Louis and Kansas City among the top American cities for urban homicides, I'm hoping next year's session of Missouri's legislature will examine this issue more deeply. And the governor has indicated he plans to continue community discussions about this issue. Writing this column has reminded me of an adage I heard recently about how to effectively address major public policy issues. Essentially it was that "when you have a dead tree in your backyard, you don't just trim the branches." But on urban gun violence, I'm not optimistic that Missouri's General Assembly will address the root causes. I suspect the partisan debate about gun control involving assault weapons, firearm background checks and limits on large magazine clips will just distract attention from some of the major factors involved in the homicide rates in Missouri's inner cities.
What Others Are Saying... Student Info Confusing Student test scores for 2019 and other measures that are factored in to a public school district's annual accreditation were released to the public Thursday by the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education.
Guest Editorials In past years, getting a snapshot view of how a school district is performing was easy. The state reported the total number and percentage of points that districts received in the overall process, something akin to a letter grade that students are familiar with on their homework and tests. Anyone who wanted specifics could drill down into the supporting data. But this year, it doesn't seem so simple. The state isn't releasing that total number and percentage for districts. And if you can even navigate yourself to the data portal on the state department's website, you might think that a PDF labeled "2019 District APR Summary Report" — APR stands for Annual Performance Report — would be your best bet for quick information. You'd be right, but the presentation won't be what you're expecting. You'll find yourself, for any given school district, staring at a page of colored bands, with labels such as "floor" or "approaching" being used to describe the district's performance in English and math. What does any of that mean? There are keys and legends available, and a video tutorial for first-time users, but the overall effect isn't user-friendly. State officials said last week that they want to give parents data about their schools that is meaningful to them. They want people to look beyond a single num-
ber to determine their school's performance. "We've heard from so many people, 'Our schools are more than test scores,'" said Margie Vandeven, commissioner of the state board of education, as quoted by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch and Associated Press. To be clear, we understand that perfectly. We agree that test scores should not be the final word on school performance, particularly when there are so many factors that contribute to how students perform on those tests. But for reporting that information to the public, we prefer a hybrid approach for ease of use. Give us an easyto-digest snapshot of performance using the language and concepts that most of us understand — such as a letter grade or a percentage — and also make the data available so we can see how the overall assessment came to be. This information is the best way the public has to hold its schools accountable. But it's not meaningful if — as we suspect might be the case — the public struggles to interpret that information. The state should rethink this approach. — Joplin Globe
The Mystery Of Vaping Until recently, vaping has been hailed as a safe alternative to smoking, a known killer. Now, vaping is being billed as an epidemic that's killing our youth. Talk about mixed messages. Last week, Gov. Mike Parson directed state departments to create a campaign aimed at reducing youth vaping. "People across the country are being hospitalized with life-threatening symptoms linked to vaping," the governor said in an Oct. 15 News Tribune story. "The
use of vaping devices among high school students increased by nearly 80 percent from 2017 to 2018." We have to admit, the whole vaping thing has us a bit confused. As we reported then, the number of confirmed (or probable) cases of pulmonary disease brought on by use of e-cigarettes in Missouri has risen to 23, but still only one death has been attributed to the condition. Nationwide, 1,299 lung injury cases and 26 deaths have been reported from e-cigarettes. Let's put that in perspective: The World Health Organization says tobacco kills up to half of its users — an estimated 8 million people each year. Nearly 500,000 of those people are from the United States, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says. While those numbers aren't true apples to apples comparisons — for one thing, they don't take into account the percentage of those who vape versus those who use tobacco products — they still show that vaping kills a minute fraction of users compared to tobacco. Even the relatively small number of vaping deaths are unacceptable. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has launched a criminal investigation of the deaths. Many of the injuries/deaths associated with vaping have been linked to illicitly modified e-cigarette cartridges. Users modify them to add THC, the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana, among other things. Hopefully the FDA probe will tell us whether the problem is simply people misusing vaping devices or if there's a health concern with vaping as intended, with flavored liquid and/or nicotine. Meanwhile, we concur with Parson's campaign against youth vaping, but we're not ready to malign the entire industry with "Reefer Madness"-like hysteria. — Jefferson City News-Tribune

Tracy Utley Presents Program Members of the Antique Study Club met at the home of Tracy Utley on Friday, Oct. 11 with 16 members present. President Ann Constant opened the meeting. Mrs. Utley gave the program on “Dansk.� Dansk Designs is an American-based company, which was started in 1954 when American businessman Ted \ traveled through Europe with his wife, Martha, in order to find artists to design consumer products. In a visit to Copenhagen, Denmark, they toured the Danish Design Museum and saw the work of Jens Harald Quistgaard on display. A flatware design, Fjord, caught their interest. Nierenberg and Quistgaard, after meeting, established Dansk Designs with Quistgaard as the chief designer. The products were produced in Denmark and sold around the world. The production was later moved to Taiwan and Japan. With the success of the Fjord flatware line, Quistgaard
designed Kobenstyle, a range of enameled steel cookware with specially-designed lids and criss-crossed handles that can be safely lifted by a spoon. As Dansk Designs grew, many home products were offered, with Quistgaard creating thousands of designs ranging from brass candlesticks to silver cutlery and staved teak serving pieces. Dansk Designs is best known today for its wooden kitchen, dining and serving items. Peppermills are a serious collector’s item. The stamp on many early pieces included the name of the company, the country in which it was manufactured, Quistgaard’s initials, the four duck log and the product number. The four ducks mark is thought to be only on items made in Denmark. The next meeting of the Antique Study Club will be held at 1:30 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 15 at the home of Robin Wilson. Vera Cox will have the program on salesman samples.

Missouri To Be Part Of USDA NASS Survey The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Agricultural Statistics Service will survey producers in 41 states, including Missouri, as part of its County Agricultural Production Survey. The survey will collect information on total acres planted and harvested, and total yield and production of row crops down to the county level. “The data provided by producers will help federal and state programs support the farmer,� said Bob Garino, Missouri state statistician. “We hope every producer will take the time to respond if they receive this survey. Producers benefit when there are data available to help determine accurate loan rates, disaster payments, crop insurance price elections, and more. When enough producers respond to surveys, NASS is able to publish data. Without data, agencies such as USDA’s Risk
Management Agency or Farm Service Agency may not have information on which to base the programs that serve those same producers.� Within the next few weeks NASS representatives will contact selected Missouri growers to arrange telephone or in-person interviews to complete the survey. NASS safeguards the privacy of all respondents and publishes only aggregate data, ensuring that no individual operation or producer can be identified as required by federal law. Survey results will be published on the NASS Quick Stats database (https://quickstats.nass.usda.gov/). For more information on NASS surveys, reports and for the release dates by commodity, persons can visit the website, https://www.nass.usda.gov/Pu blications/Calendar/reports_by _date.php.

LIFE, A WEEKLY MAGAZINE, TAUGHT BEGINNING PHOTOGRAPHERS I miss LIFE magazine, I grew up reading photo stories in that weekly magazine. Long after I became a photojournalist, I realized the influence that reading had on my career. Learning from photo stories became ingrained on my brain. I knew photo stories had beginnings, middles and ends, just like news stories. My thinking revisited this in recent teachings. Working at the Missouri Photo Workshop, I was reminded during a week in Boonville. There, young photojournalists documented life in a small-town. These talented beginners are beyond me in digital-photo skills. I still think black-andwhite film. Career-long learning isn’t easily dislodged. While the young are photographically skilled in camera use, they lack story-telling skill. Then I realized they didn’t
have those weekly lessons from LIFE. They don’t know which photo to use for a lede. That’s the first photo in a story. Nor, do they know a powerful “ender.� The body of a story contains small groups of related photos. Those are subchapters in photojournalism. I learned in history of photojournalism that LIFE was created by publisher Henry Luce. He thought photos could be more than illustrations for stories. He used photo stories with words in support. By the time I started my MU journalism education I knew what photo stories looked like. I already knew words go with pictures. All photos need captions. That concept seems obvious, yet it’s lost on today’s photographers. If they learn from social media they see few words with photos. Facebook
uses photos as if they tell all. They don’t. This week, I had a second connection with the world of photojournalism. The Missouri Press Association and MU Journalism School inducted members into the Missouri Photo Hall of Fame. This honors the best photojournalists in the state. In their talks, they told their struggles to continue real photojournalism. Dan White, a new member, worked at the Kansas City Star. He went on to lucrative jobs in advertising. He used story-telling skills. But, high finances failed as CEOs of groups hiring him thought they could do photos on their smartphones. (It’s not the same.) I cringe as I look at Facebook, which I still do every day. There's photo after photo without a word of explanation. I need words of who, what, when, where and why to explain each photo. There’s another difference. Facebook photos are posed; not the candid shots of photojournalism As it happened, I opened my phone, just before I began writing this. There was a snapshot of NAAJ'ers, formerly known as National Association
of Ag Journalists, meeting at the World Food Prize in Des Moines. The group met for dinner. These are top farm journalists in the country. As honorary member of the group, should I click “comment� saying to tell names for each person? But, I plead with you readers to add words to your photos on social media. Photos need words. Yes, Luce was right. Photos tell stories. But, from the beginning LIFE combined words with photos. It takes both to tell a story. Let’s not lose that concept. When learning the history of his magazine, I was shocked to learn that the first edition came out on my first birthday, Nov. 23, 1936. It was meant to be that I would grow up with LIFE. It ceased in 1972. A bit more on the Hall of Fame. I see Hall members inducted who I influenced early in their careers. That includes Jim Curley, Columbia, co-director of the Missouri Photo Workshop. It’s pleasing to see student helpers rise to high honors. Do you recall LIFE? duanedailey7@gmail.com
Pumpkins Now Used More For Decoration Than Food “This fall, millions of Americans will make an annual pilgrimage to a retail outlet to purchase a vegetable they, unfortunately, are unlikely to eat,� said University of Missouri Extension horticulturist David Trinklein. In the United States, this colorful member of the gourd family sells mainly for decoration. Yet pumpkins offer a smashing good way to spice up fall meals. Many people throughout the world use them as a staple in their daily diets. Cultivated since about 3500 B.C., pumpkin rivals corn as one of the oldest known crops in the Western Hemisphere, Trinklein said. One way American colonists prepared pumpkins was to remove the seeds, fill the
inside with milk, spices and honey, and bake the pumpkin in hot ashes. This verse from about 1630 suggests that American colonists relied heavily on pumpkin for food: For pottage and puddings and custard and pies, Our pumpkins and parsnips are common supplies: We have pumpkins at morning and pumpkins at noon, If it were not for pumpkins, we should be undoon. Today, consumer demand drives plant breeders to focus on ornamental appeal rather than table quality. Modern pumpkins mature into a deep orange color much earlier, and most varieties now bear a large stem that
NW Missouri Horticulture by Tim Baker Northwest Region Horticulture Specialist SOOTY BLOTCH AND FLYSPECK OF APPLE In the fall, homeowners who are worried about the apples from their orchards often contact me. Their apples have black, sooty-looking blotches all over. The blackened material was just superficial, and did not penetrate the skin. It seemed to rub off with a bit of scrubbing. Were these safe to eat? What these homeowners were dealing with is a fungal disease, commonly known as sooty blotch. A related disease is flyspeck. In the past, these were considered separate diseases.
They are caused by a complex of several organisms. Some researchers now hold that they are different forms of the same disease. The causal fungi overwinter on the twigs of apple trees and other woody host species. Spores are carried by raindrop splashing and wind to the fruit. Humid, rainy weather aids the spread of this disease. Optimal temperatures for fungal growth occur at 59-75 degrees. Hot, dry weather does not favor the development of sooty blotch or fly-
can serve as a convenient handle. Another new development is pumpkins with rinds covered with warts, which can make jack-o'-lanterns look more ghoulish. When selecting a pumpkin for fall decoration, use the “thumbnail test� to make sure it’s fully mature. If you can pierce the rind with your thumbnail, the pumpkin will not store well. Pumpkin is high in beta carotene, a red-orange pigment that the body converts into vitamin A. It is also a good source of dietary fiber. The spices used in pumpkin pie have health benefits of their own. “Not many people could tolerate taking allspice directly to benefit from its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and
speck. We certainly did see moisture and temperatures that were favorable to development of sooty blotch this year. To control this disease, fungicides may be used. For control recommendations, please refer to our guide sheet, “Fruit Spray Schedules for the Homeowner.� Many of the people contacting me asked if the fruit could be eaten. Since this is a superficial disease, and can be washed off, yes, it can be eaten after cleaning the fruit. Be careful to note that if something else has aided the penetration of the skin, the fruit may be rotted and should be discarded. Although they can be eaten, apples that have been infected with sooty blotch or flyspeck may not keep well. That is because the fungus dissolves some of the protective wax. This wax naturally occurs on the apple and prevents dehydration. Thus, the apples may shrivel and not keep well.
stomach-calming properties,� Trinklein said. “However, consumed in a piece of pumpkin pie, it tastes rather delightful.� Trinklein offered some “pun�-king trivia for those who “orange� ready for pumpkin season yet: Pumpkins have grown in North America for more than 5,000 years. Morton, Ill., the self-proclaimed “Pumpkin Capital of the World,� hosts an annual Punkin Chuckin’ Contest in which competitors use elaborate mechanical devices to lob pumpkins across great distances. According to Guinness World Records, the heaviest pumpkin ever grown weighed 2,624 pounds, more than some subcompact cars. The gar-
gantuan gourd was grown in 2016 by Mathias Willemijns of Belgium. Guinness World Records gives the title of largest pumpkin pie to a confection made in 2010 at the New Bremen Pumpkinfest in Ohio. The pie weighed 3,699 pounds and measured 20 feet in diameter. Giant pumpkins were not used in the pie. Instead, it was made with 1,212 pounds of canned pumpkin. Other ingredients included 233 dozen eggs, 109 gallons of evaporated milk, a quarter-ton of sugar, 7 pounds of salt and 14.5 pounds of cinnamon. Pumpkins were once thought to eliminate freckles and cure snakebites.

Dairy Industry Consolidating Consolidation in the dairy industry has University of Missouri Extension helping dairy producers switch to beef. MU Extension recently sponsored a session for producers at MU’s Southwest Research Center in Mount Vernon. The dairy industry began consolidating after World War II as farms began to specialize in just milking cows, says MU Extension agricultural economist Joe Horner. The 1960s and 1970s saw more consolidation as fewer dairy farms made the expensive switch from selling milk in cans to bulk tanks. Consolidation sprinted •WANTED• FARM GROUND to Lease!

again over the last 10 years as dairies with more than 1,000 cows emerged. Their lower costs put downward pressure on milk prices. Years of tight profit margins and a shortage of labor led many Missouri dairies to switch to beef production. Dairy operations have dropped by two-thirds in Missouri in the past 15 years. The story is repeated in almost every traditional dairy state, Horner says. Missouri lost 27,000 dairy cows from 2009 to 2019. By contrast, the state added 67,000 beef cows over the same period. There are important differences between dairy and beef operations. Beef cows require less labor, but it takes a lot more of them to make a living, Horner says. Culling rates are different: 29.9% over five years for dairy compared to 13% for beef. Beef producers do not have to raise nearly as many heifers to keep the same size of herd. There are aslo seasonal differences between dairy and beef. Dairy’s best prices come in the fall and the worst in the spring. Beef calves fetch higher prices in spring and lower prices in fall when spring calves go to market.
Beef cow-calf operations typically sell cattle twice a year, but most of the wealth comes through land appreciation, Horner says. Beef is a long-inning game. It is about holding onto land and keeping input costs low. Horner urges dairy producers switching to beef to clean up their balance sheets, pay off bills and clear short-term debt by selling assets they no longer need. Work with your accountant to manage taxes as you sell, he says. “The switch to beef is a good way for dairy operators to use their livestock knowledge, skills and abilities built through a lifetime milking cows,� Horner says. It is also a good way to use existing resources as farmers approach retirement, he adds. “Missouri is a huge producer of feeder calves. Dairy farmers who switch to beef have a natural fit for backgrounding those calves. They already have high-quality forage and feeding systems in place and are accustomed to managing lots of dollars.� The good news is that you do not need to milk beef cows every morning and night, and it is easier to get away from the farm for a few days.

City Committee Holds Meeting The Utility Committee of the Trenton City Council is recommending approval of two items by the council following a meeting on Tuesday night. City Administrator Ron Urton said the committee is asking the council to approve a contract with Howe Co. to serve as the city’s “on-call” engineer for various projects, a move he said would save time when a project requires a request for qualifications regarding engineering work. The county has used Howe Co. for its engineering work, Urton said. The committee is also recommending that bids submitted by Pettit Salvage of Jamesport be approved for the sale of scrap metal. Urton said there are six lots of metal being sold, with each lot having a different bid. Both recommendations will go to the city council for its approval at Monday night’s
council meeting. The committee discussed, but took no action, on the purchase of transformers. Urton said that the only bid received did not meet all of the specifications and that he will be seeking more information from the bidder and presenting it to the council on Monday night. Tabled until the next committee meeting was action on bids for construction of a storage building at the wastewater plant. Urton said more information is to be sought from the low bidder, noting that some of the building specifications were not addressed in that particular bid although it was the committee’s understanding the bidder does plan to do that work. The committee also reviewed department reports and the monthly financial report as well as heard an update on various projects.

I've ttried, i d severall time ti s, to reach out to her and never onnce received a reply. I haven't triied to connect with her for severral years, but I need to know: How w do I stop caring? This hurt mee deeply, and I still miss her. My parents called We were her their third daugghter. We roommates in college and apartment-mates after college. She introduced me to my eventual husband -- and theen silence. If I knew why, I mightt be able to let her go, but I've noot the slightest clue. Nobody else -- her parents, her sister, mutual acquaintances -- has any idea eitther. How do I bind up this wounnd? -- Left Behind in Washingtton Dear Left Behiind: I'm sorry that your friend abbandoned you so abruptly. Fortunnately, closure is a gift we can givve ourselves. I encourage you tto write out everything you'd like to say to her -- about your coonfusion, pain, anything you're feeeling or have ever felt about the situation. Pour your heart out on the subject

great daughters-in-law!" And I do, but they don't shop with me or invite me to lunch or the movies. They are in my home often. I babysit for them and attend all family functions and activities. (Their mothers live out of town.) There is a difffference, and the bragging and boasting from moms with daughters really hurts. -- Hurt Mother-in-Law Dear Hurt: Following the train of thought in your letter, it seems the heart of the matter here is you're feeling hurt that your daughters-in-law don't invite you out. Why not invite them out? Going to lunch, the movies or other outings with your daughters-in-law, one on one or as a group of gals, sounds like a fantastic idea that simply might not have occurred to them yet. More generally, your comment raises an important topic: Family-themed holidays can be especially painful for people who have lost a daughter, mother, father or whomever the holiday is celebrating. In such cases, some find it helpful to commemorate the person they've lost in a special way on that day -- such as by looking through old photos, meditating on the love shared, attending an event the family member would have loved or volunteering for a cause that they supported or that is connected to them in some way.
