The Missouri Community College Association (MCCA) hosted the 2024 Student Leadership Institute at the Capitol, welcoming 95 participants, including 72 student leaders from across the state. The event provided a unique opportunity for students to engage in leadshiptraining, network with peers, and meet with state lawmakers.

Leassner from East Central College and Dr. Autumn Whitehead from State Fair Community College. Students participated in a full day of activities designed to enhance their leadership skills and advocacy efforts. Held in conjunction with the Missouri legislature’s veto override session, the annual institute ensures that students can interact with lawmakers from their college’s regional service area.

Among the participants were students from North Central Missouri College (NCMC): Cole Henderson, Valorie Gabrielli, Hannah Gryder, and Shayla Gerlt. These students shared their reflections on the event: Valorie Gabrielli: “One of my greatest takeaways from today’s conference was the quote shared in reference to our differences as human beings, to ‘be curious, not judgmental.’ I

Southside Farm Club members met at the home of Judith Urich on Wednesday, September 18, 2024. Following the prayer offered by Mrs. Urich, a delicious noon meal provided by the hostess and carry-in dishes was enjoyed by all. During the meal members discussed interesting family, community, and

current events. The hostess gift, a set of kitchen towels and a package of flavored tea, was presented to Marie Dolan, being determined by a flower sticker on the bottom of her glass.

President Babette Hill called the business meeting to order and thanked the hostess. Roll call was answered by showing a keep-

sake from a parent or grandparent. These included various gold necklaces and bracelets, a crocheted pearl bracelet, an antique jewelry box, a baby dress with accompany photos, and a handmade velvet quilt.

Hannah Gryder: “We must enter hard conversations to really expect change. Today gave me the confidence and tools to advocate for our community college’s needs.”

Shayla Gerlt: “Advocacy and mentorship help aid in others’ journey through community college. You never know; you might even save someone from dropping out or, even worse, giving up on themselves and their dreams. I want to be the kind of leader that helps others get through college. I want to lead and empower other students at NCMC!”

Cole Henderson: “It was an honor to go and represent NCMC at the MCCA event in Jefferson City. Advocacy is an important part of our lives, not only for ourselves but also for our organizations as well. Thank you again to NCMC

for giving me this opportunity to represent them!”

Dr. Kristen Alley, Vice President of Student Affairs, said, “This has been a phenomenal experience for NCMC student leaders. They had the opportunity to meet other students from around the state, visit with legislators, and continue to develop their outstanding leadership skills. Their collective willingness to amplify student voices and desire to serve the student body will continue to generate positive outcomes for our entire campus community. We are proud of them and look forward to continuing a great year!”

Jacky Mack reported on the flower the fund and distributed get well and sympathy cards for members to sign.

The program, presented by Mrs. Urich, was about the history of fabric sack clothing, with information from an article “Thrifty Threads” in “Kovels Antique Trader” magazine. The magazine featured a photo of the late actress Marilyn Monroe wearing a dress, probably as a promotional stunt, made from a potato sack in 1951. By that time food sack garments were already associated with the 1920’s and 1930’s when people on farms in the United States had to save and use everything possible during the Great Depression. During that time cotton and money were scarce. At that time, many commodities - including feed, flour, potatoes, and seed – were sold in fabric sacks. Women turned these into dresses, aprons, diapers, pants, shirts and household items including curtains, quilts,

and tablecloths. They would add ribbons, buttons, embroidery, and rickrack to make them look more like store-bought items. By knowing the size of the sack they learned how many sacks were needed for an item. For example: a 100-pound feed sack was generally 40 by 54 inches, enough to make a child’s dress. Many companies, recognizing how the sacks were being used, began packaging commodities in bright colors, patterns, and designs, with calico being very popular. Even some pattern companies sponsored sewing contests to showcase some of the skills and designs in using sacks. Today, items made from feed sacks are valued up to possibly $800 for a quilt or $300 for a dress! The use of feed sacks is truly a reflection of an important time in our American culture.

Following the program, the Mystery Gift, a decorative box of facial tissues, was guessed by Marie Dolan.

Jeanie Gibson will be the hostess for the October meeting. The meeting was adjourned.

Changes to Private Pesticide Applicator Licenses Effective January 1, 2025

Farmers who apply restricted use pesticides (RUPs) on owned or rented property, must hold a valid Private Pesticide Applicator license to purchase, mix, and apply these products. Restricted use pesticides have been classified as such because without additional training of the applicator, these products pose a risk to humans or the environment. Proper training is essential to ensure the safety of not only the applicator, but also to protect the environment and other individuals who may come in contact with pesticides or the treated areas. All RUPs will be clearly marked with the words “RESTRICTED USE PESTICIDE” on the front panel of the label. Because general use pesticides do not pose a risk to humans or the environment when used in accordance with the label, they can be purchased or applied without a license unless it is being done for hire. Anyone who applies pesti-

cides for hire, must hold a valid Commercial Pesticide Applicator license.

Certified private pesticide applicators may continue to operate under the current license until the expiration date listed on the license, although a few changes go into effect immediately on January 1, 2025. A few of the significant changes are listed below.

EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 2025, for ALL APPLICATORS of RUPs:

Certified private pesticide applicators can no longer supervise uncertified employees or family members who use RUPs. Every person who purchases, applies or handles RUPs in any manner, will be required to have a license. This includes employees and family members who mix RUPs, load sprayers with RUPs, dispose of RUPs or the containers, and clean sprayers that have been used to apply RUPs. An employee’s license will be

linked to the employer. A farm worker may hold more than one private applicator license if employed by more than one certified private pesticide applicator. Immediate family members of certified private pesticide applicators, age 16 or 17, can obtain a Provisional Private Pesticide Applicator license. This license allows the provisional applicator to handle and apply RUPs, but not purchase them. A provisional private pesticide applicator cannot use RUPs for an aerial application, and the RUP cannot be a fumigant or a product that contains sodium cyanide or sodium fluoroacetate.

Falling is Not a Normal Part of Aging

Falls are the leading cause of fatal and nonfatal injuries among seniors aged 65 and older in Missouri, leading to an annual average of 13,447 hospitalizations and 39,895 emergency department visits each year among this population. The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services (DHSS) is partnering with the National Council on Aging to raise awareness and provide education through a series of events to help older adults stay independent and free of falls.

“By creating awareness about fall risks and providing education around fall prevention, we can take proactive steps to protect

Livestock Specialist)

We are fast approaching the time of year when cowcalf producers will be deciding what to do with spring-born calves. Calf prices have been very strong and while the markets may have dipped a bit, it looks like they will remain favorable for the foreseeable future largely due to low cow numbers and good beef demand. With strong prices, producers are

the health, safety and independence of our older adults,” said Kelsey Weitzel, Show Me Falls Free Missouri Coordinator. DHSS encourages older adults to focus on these tips to reduce falls:

Check your home for fall risks: Use this falls prevention checklist to find ways to make your home safer as you age.

Stay physically active and focus on overall wellness: Do these simple falls prevention exercises at home or find a fitness class at your local area agency on aging. Staying hydrated, eating a healthy diet and getting quality sleep can all improve your overall wellness and decrease your risk

often tempted to market calves directly off the cow.

I certainly understand the thinking behind this, it is quick, easy and has no risk. But producers may be leaving money on the table. We often talk about premiums when it comes to calf marketing, but I prefer to look at it from a discount standpoint. Buyers have preferences. If given the option, most would prefer to buy long-weaned, double vaccinated calves. They know that there is less risk

of falling.

Get an annual fall screening: It is recommended that all adults over the age of 65 get an annual fall screening. If you have additional symptoms, such as dizziness or lightheadedness, you may need a screening earlier.

Get regular medical checks: Changes in vision, hearing and foot stability may cause you to fall. Ask your medical provider how often you should have your vision and hearing checked. If you receive new eyewear or hearing aids, take time to get used to them. If you are noticing changes in your foot strength or the way you walk, talk to your medical provider about these

associated with these animals. Will they buy unweaned, unvaccinated calves? Sure, they will but they will be at a discounted price. If you are going to pre-condition your calves at home, I would urge you to consider weaning them longer than 30 to 45 days. We know that longer weaned calves tend to have less health issues and perform better when they transition from place of origin to a growing yard or feedlot. Keeping the calves on

changes.

Tell your medical provider if you have fallen: A fall can alert your medical provider to a possible problem and help them provide you with ways to prevent future accidents. These steps may include things like changing medication or seeing a physical or occupational therapist.

“Many adults carry fear due to the risk of falling which can have a huge impact on their physical, social and mental health,” said Mindy Ulstad, Chief of DHSS’ Bureau of Senior Programs. “Taking small steps to stay falls and injury free can have a huge impact on their quality of life.”

farm longer also allows the producer to take advantage of a time when economical gains can be achieved and at the end of the day we do sell pounds. If you take the time to vaccinate, castrate, de-horn and long wean your calves, I cannot guarantee you will receive a premium for them. However, I am pretty certain you will not receive any discounts and that should result in more money in your pocket and less left on the table.

Harvest Time Grain Handling Information

Jim Crawford, Field Specialist in Agricultural Engineering University of Missouri Extension, Atchison County

The prospect of a large corn harvest already has many producers looking for storage options. While there are many different options, the most common one is the temporary conversion of machine or hay sheds. Some of the challenges of using these for grain storage include; structural strength, floor surface, grain handling and grain management. Grain vacs have greatly reduced some of the grain handling issues of the past.

The primary challenge of storing grain in existing pole barns is the pressure that the grain exerts on the walls. One method to store grain in a building would be to only fill the building to the point that the grain does not come in contact with the walls.

Adding a 4 foot tall lining wall to an existing pole barn to four feet high is fairly economical and will not interfere with other uses of the building. Existing poles should be eight foot on center, at least four feet in the ground and no more than 14 feet high. Each post should be cabled to the opposite side post with

a minimum 3/8 cable at truss height to prevent the roof from pulling apart. The lining wall is 5/8 or ¾ in plywood attached to a stud wall constructed of 2x6 sills and plates holding 2x4 studs, 2 ft. 8 in. on center. When filling the shed, grain should not be piled higher than the 4 foot lining wall or the bottom of the truss. Trusses are designed for the roof load and not any grain load.

Many pole barns do not have a vapor barrier under the floor or even have a concrete floor. If grain is to be stored more than three months some type of vapor barrier should be installed. A 4 to 6 mil plastic sheet can be installed on top of the floor or ground. Make sure that water does not drain into the building.

Other possibilities for temporary grain storage include the use of large bales to form a bin, the use of concrete barriers, construct a circular bin made of plywood four or eight feet deep, silos or silage bags.

Regardless of if it is stored in bins or temporary piles, management is required to keep grain in good condition. Grain should be between 30 and 40 degrees F for winter storage. Maintaining grain temperature

Authors: Dr. Lindsay

Oram, NCMC Psychology Instructor, and Jenna Vandel, NCMC Criminal Justice Instructor

To meet the Social and Behavioral Sciences requirement at NCMC, many students will complete courses from the psychology or sociology department. Both areas focus on the study of human interactions so there is overlap. However, there are some distinct differences.

What is sociology and why do we study it? Many students enter with these questions. Sociology is the study of societies and how they impact and shape our individual lives. So why do we study societies? To better understand human behavior. Examining how societies function allows us to gain insights into the world as well as cultures other than our own. It provides increased social awareness and a deeper understanding of topics such as diversity, inequality, social change, and social policy. All professions from law enforcement to health care, can benefit from a general sociology course.

North Central Missouri College To A Degree: Psychology vs SociologyWhat is the difference?

Have you ever stopped to wonder what causes someone to think a certain way or what causes you to act in thze way that you do? Psychology analyzes human behavior on the individual level. Psychology looks at important questions such as why do people think and act the way they do? How do we learn and change throughout our lives? How does culture influence our behavior? What motivates us? How do we learn? What contributes to the development of psychological disorders? Studying psychology can provide a deeper understanding of the people around you, as well as yourself.

General Sociology is offered in the fall, spring and summer semesters. In addition to General Sociology, NCMC offers other courses from the Sociology Department including, Social Problems, People & Cultures of the World, and Introduction to Social work.

The Psychology Department offers General Psychology in the fall, spring, and summer semesters. There are also several upper-level psychology courses. Human Growth and Development is a

popular choice for students interested in learning more about how humans develop across the lifespan. Child Psychology is a course that focuses on psychological basis of child growth and development. Social Psychology focuses on how individual behavior is impacted by societal influences. Abnormal Psychology discusses psychological disorders and treatments.

No matter which social sciences course a student selects, any course would help students develop critical thinking skills and provide a better understanding of the world around them. This allows us as individuals to examine social and global inequalities. In turn, students can become better informed citizens of the world and better prepared to make decisions that impact their communities and country.

If you have any questions about the psychology courses, please contact Dr. Lindsay Oram at loram @mail.ncmissouri.edu. For information regarding sociology courses at NCMC please contact Jenna Vandel at jvandel@mail.ncmissouri.edu

below 70 degrees F reduces insect reproduction. Insects become dormant at temperatures below 50 degrees F and are killed below degrees 32 F. Mold growth is nearly zero at temperatures below 40 degrees F.

Any grain stored in temporary piles should be dry and cool. Shoot for an initial moisture content of 13% to be on the safe side.

Because of differences in temperature between the grain in a bin and the outside air, air inside the bin migrates. With cold outside air, the air inside the bin moves downward along the outside wall and then upward toward the center of the bin. The air that comes up through the center of the bin will carry some moisture. As it contacts the cool grain in the center of the bin,

moisture will condense and cause the grain in this area to go out of condition and crust.

Crusting will keep air from flowing through the mass of grain and making it impossible to keep the grain in condition. To prevent this problem, grain should be cooled to about 40 degrees F in the fall and warmed to about 60 degrees F in the spring. This will minimize migration of air through the bin.

Check grain weekly. Use a grain probe and a thermometer to check the temperature by probing below the surface of the grain in several places. Record these temperatures to monitor changes. Moving air through the grain can help in determining grain condition. If a musty odor is detected, problems may exist not

detected by inspecting the grain or checking the temperature. If problems do occur, fans may need to be run to dry the grain. In some cases, grain may need to be removed from the bin.

Anytime a drying or cooling front is started through the grain, make sure the fan runs long enough to move the front completely through the grain.

PUBLIC NOTICE

The Reauthorization of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) in December of 2004 incorporated several changes in regard to local district responsibilities/requirements for the provision of services to parentally-placed private school children with disabilities.

The term “parentally-placed private school student” refers to children placed by their parents in private, parochial or other religiously-affiliated schools or home schools.

Due to these changes in IDEA the Trenton R-IX School District will offer information to all officials of private schools and parents of parentally-placed private school children, including some home schooled children, within the Trenton R-IX School District. If you would like information regarding the IDEA changes, please contact Brenda Thorne, Director of Special Services for the Trenton R-IX District, at 660-339-6266, Option 5.

If interested in information, Brenda Thorne, Trenton R-IX Director of Special Services, will explain how, where and by whom special education and related services can be provided for students with disabilities who are privately placed in non-public school settings within the Trenton R-IX School District.
