TESTING CENTER In the world of higher education, students often find themselves juggling a multitude of responsibilities. Students must learn to balance coursework, extracurricular activities, part-time jobs, and personal lives. It can be very overwhelming and stressful. Fortunately, the NCMC Testing Center is an invaluable resource for students! Kaitlyn Mounce, 1. Accommodations for Diverse Learners Library Assistant Every student is unique, and their needs II-Testing Coordinator vary. The testing center recognizes this diversity and strives to accommodate students accordingly. Whether a student requires extra time for exams due to a documented disability or needs a quiet space for concentration, the testing center can cater to these needs. We strive to ensure equal opportunities for success. 2. Quiet and Controlled Environments The testing center is one of the best places for students to be in a quiet and serene environment when testing. With minimal distractions compared to a classroom or dorm, students can focus on their exams, resulting in improved performances. 3. Extended Testing Hours We understand that students often have very hectic schedules and can challenge students to find a suitable time for testing. With the testing center being in the library, we offer extended hours for students to test. This flexibility allows students to choose times that align with their peak performance periods, resulting in better scores. 4. Staff Support We understand that testing can be stressful for students, so the testing center staff is here to ensure everything is taken care of. The testing center staff is here to answer questions, provide guidance, and ensure testing runs smoothly. The testing staff handles the majority of the “behind-the-scenes” work, like making sure computers are working, scheduling, getting the testing information from faculty, and handling the tests after completion. 5. Access to Technology Students often have coursework, classes, and studying that they must use their computers or laptops for. Some students may not have access to a computer or laptop at all. The testing center can provide a computer for you, so you won’t have to worry about a low battery or technical issues. Testing centers are indispensable assets for college students. They create stress-free testing environments, ensure accommodations are met, give students flexible hours, and provide support. Testing centers contribute significantly to the academic success and well-being of students in college. You might even use the testing center before you’re an NCMC student or after you graduate! The NCMC testing center offers testing for more than just NCMC students. The following tests are offered at the testing center: • NCMC Proctored Tests • Accuplacer • HiSET • Fire Safety Testing • Pearson • MOGEA • Respondus If you plan to take your TEAs and need a quiet place to take them, you can contact the testing center to borrow a study room. Also, the testing center can help students from other colleges, who may be taking online courses or tests. If you have any questions about what the testing center offers or need to set up a test date with us, you can email NCMCTestingCenter@Mail.Ncmissouri.edu or call (660) 3576335 or text NCMClibrary to 66746.

Extension Notes by University of Missouri Extension SOOTY BLOTCH AND FLY SPECKS IN APPLES As we approach the fall season, apple growers often see dark spots on their nearmaturing fruits and are concerned about the problem. These dark smudges on apples and pears are generally a disease problem known as sooty blotch. Sooty blotch is a disease complex caused by various unrelated fungi. It manifests as smudges or cloudy blotches, ranging from olive green to black, on the surface of apple fruit. Concurrently, another disease called fly speck, caused by the fungus Zygophiala jamaicensis, often occurs on the same fruit, presenting as tiny black dots, which are the sexual fruiting bodies of the fungus. Although these diseases do not damage the fruit internally, they affect its appearance, impacting storage quality and market value.
Both fungi overwinter on infested apple twigs and alternate hosts, such as brambles and bittersweet. Infections are more likely in late season, cool, humid weather followed by rainfall. The disease is most severe when cool, rainy spring conditions are coupled with late summer rains and low temperatures in early fall. The optimal conditions for infection include temperatures between 60 and 70 °F and relative humidity exceeding 96%. To home gardeners, chemical measures are not always recommended since the disease does not affect the fruit's quality or taste. The superficial damage can be easily rubbed or peeled off. To prevent disease severity, improve air circulation to allow the fruit to dry quickly after rain, prune trees an-
nually in winter, and thin fruit to keep only one per cluster. Removing alternate hosts also helps. For commercial growers, preventive chemical fungicides are necessary. Contact fungicides containing captan or thiophanate methyl are recommended and can be combined for increased effectiveness. Apply fungicides in a 14-day interval or after a rain event. Spray fungicides 1-2 weeks after petal fall and continue until 2-3 weeks before harvest. Follow the specific product label for mixing and application directions. Should you have any questions or need further assistance, feel free to reach out to me via email at mchhetri@missouri.edu or call at (816)-586-1010.

Threads plateaus Meta’s Threads rode a wave of dissatisfaction with Elon Musk’s X, breaking social media growth records after its launch in July. But since then the site has started losing its luster, according to research firm Insider Intelligence. By the end of 2023, Insider expects Threads to have 23.7 million monthly users in the U.S., less than half the user base of X. This year, Insider estimates that it will rank second-to-last among social networks in the U.S. — and will remain in that spot at least through 2025. “The path to 1 billion
Threads users is longer than Meta would like,” said Jasmine Enberg, an analyst at Insider Intelligence. “The link to Instagram can only take Threads so far, and the clock is ticking for the network effect to take hold.” Enberg added that Threads will need to offer users better reasons to use it than just their dissatisfaction with Musk’s X. “Still, Musk’s recent announcement to charge all X users a monthly subscription fee could open up a clearer avenue for Meta to monetize Threads,” she added.

Gallatin Softball District Champions
Photo Provided by Alicia Endicott DOUBLE - Senior Alex Endicott hits one out into short right field to start the offensive game for the Lady Bulldogs.
The Gallatin Lady Bulldogs traveled to Maysville for the Class 1 District 7 Tournament where they were the number two seed. Their first matchup was on Saturday where they took on the Maysville Wolverines. Against the Wolverines the Lady Bulldogs had three single homerun hits by Betty Rogers, Paige Heldenbrand, and Alex Endicott. Karydon Jones hit a two-shot homerun to extend the lead, and a grand slam by Brynn Bird would seal Maysville’s fate. The Lady Bulldogs held their defense as well, only allowing Maysville to score one run. Leading the way was pitcher AnnaBelle Ball, who also had her 400th career strikeout. The final score was 14-1. Advancing on to the next round, the Lady Bulldogs would take on Bishop LeBlond. Though their offense wasn’t as strong, they were able to hold out and score one more run than LeBlond to take the game, winning by a score of 3-2. Their last District matchup was against long time rival, the Lady Polo Panthers, to whom they lost earlier in the season, 1-4. With Polo seeded one in the District, Gallatin was looking for redemption. With Polo being the higher seed, they took
the home slot on the scoreboard putting Gallatin up to bat first. The starting defense for the Polo Panthers included Emma Chapman (first base), Kendyl Fitzwater (short stop), Willow Gardner (third base), Mya Heil (catcher), Layna Norton
She would steal third, but Vaught would strike out three of her teammates to end the top of the first. Polo then took the batters box with lead off hitter Gardner sending one into right field, which Bird would catch for out one. Malia Bell hit a double after the Bulldogs made a wild throw to first. Heil would pop one up which would be caught by Feiden for out two, and Fitzwater would send one out to center field to be caught by Endicott for out three, ending the first inning. The second inning would be a big one for the Bulldogs. Ball would start things off by sending one into short right field for a double. McBroom would follow

(left field), Libby Norton (right field), Emersyn Parker (center field), Emily Schmidt (second base) and Hanna Vaught (pitcher). Starting defense for the Lady Bulldogs included Betty Rogers (catcher), Channing McBroom (first base), Karydon Jones (third base), Paige Heldenbrand (left field), Ashley Feiden (second base), Alex Endicott (center field), Abigail Burns (short stop), Brynn Bird (right field) and AnnaBelle Ball (pitcher). The first big hit for the Bulldogs would be Endicott who scored a double after hitting one into short right field.
after hitting one over the right fielder’s head for another double scoring Ball. Rogers would send one into short center field for a triple off a bad throw from the Polo defense scoring McBroom. Lacey Holcomb would come in as a courtesy runner for Rogers. Vaught would strike out the next batter before freshman Heldenbrand would hit a triple out into right field to score Holcomb. Schmidt would catch one for out two and Vaught would strike out another for out three. Ball would strike out Polo’s first two batters and Bird would catch one for out three.
The top of the third Polo would get two outs before Ball would step up to the plate to hit a single. McBroom would follow her to hit a double to score Ball and would try for third but would get stuck in a run down for the third out. Ball would strike out the first Panther of the inning, followed by her defense making plays for outs two and three. The Bulldogs would score no runs in the fourth and would allow a single home run by Vaught to bring the score 4-1. The fifth and six innings both teams played good defense. Vaught had two strikeouts with her team working hard to get the other outs. Ball would have one strikeout with her team also making hard defensive plays. The seventh inning the Bulldogs would start at the bottom of the batting order with Heldenbrand. She would hit one over the second baseman’s head for a single. Bird would come next hitting it at the third baseman and making it onto first in time, but with Polo getting Heldenbrand with the force out at second. Endicott would hit one through a gap between the third baseman and short stop for a single. Jones would hit one

straight to Vaught to get out two at first but advanced her runners to second and third. Feiden would be up next and after a pitch got past the catcher both Bird and Endicott would score. Feiden’s hit would land in center field, but Polo would get her out at second after Ball’s single. With a 6-1 lead the Bulldogs were just three outs away from becoming District champions. Fitzwater would start things off for the Panthers. She would hit one to third and make it onto first off a high throw to the first baseman. Libby Norton would follow hitting one out into short centerfield. A bunt by Layna Norton would get
her out at first, but advance her runners to second and third. Bell would come next hitting one out to center field scoring runners on second and third. Schmidt would be the last batter of the night hitting one straight into the hands of Jones. It would hit her glove and go up into the air, where she then grabbed it out of the air with her throwing hand for out two and then threw it to first to get Bell out for out three. The final score was Gallatin 6, Polo 3. The Lady Bulldogs advanced to the next round and will host Platte Valley in Gallatin on Saturday.

Seven Year Rivalry Ends in Trenton’s Favor
Photo provided by Macon Schweizer
GALLATIN PUTS UP TOUGH FIGHT Stanley Hanson carries the ball for Gallatin gaining yards looking for the first down. The Gallatin Bulldogs kept a tight game against the 6-1 Trenton Bulldogs until the ending of the fourth quarter.
Trenton traveled to Gallatin last Friday for the battle of the Highway 6 trophy. The trophy was first presented seven years ago, and for the last seven, Gallatin has been the team to bring it home. Camden Skipper started off the night kicking off the ball to the Gallatin offense with Boston Bell with the return. Stanley Hanson would carry the ball for the first down. Three back-to-back penalties would force Gallatin to punt. Trenton would take over on their own 15yard line. Gabe Novak would take the hand off and be dropped in the back field forcing Trenton to punt. Gallatin would
then take over on their 29yard line. Bell would gain enough yards for a first down. Trenton defense would then make stops and get Gallatin to punt again. With both teams doing a lot of good things on defense, neither team was able to score in the first quarter. At the beginning of the second quarter Gallatin started with possession of the ball. Bell was able to make it to the 20-yard line. Gabe Stark would come after him and make a tackle for a loss of two. A flag was called against Gallatin for a hold. Payton Baker was then able to get it back to the 13yard line. Gallatin would
be fourth and thirteen but would be stopped by Gavin Cagle and Trenton would take over on downs. Novak would lead the next play with the first down of the night for Trenton. A lot of penalty flags would be called against both teams in the second quarter. Novak would then punt the ball to Gallatin. Cagle would break through and make another defensive stop. A pass from Baker to Luke Johnson would gain yards for the Bulldogs. A pass from Baker to Bell would score the first touchdown of the night. Jake Schmadeke would stop the twopoint conversion, but Gallatin would still lead 6-0. Trenton would receive the ball on the 20-yard line after the touch back kick off. Brayden Hughs would gain nine yards in the first play. Trenton would look to punt but would punt fake for the first down and come up short turning the ball over on downs to Gallatin. Gallatin would gain yards but would not make enough yards to the endzone. A punt to Trenton would get the Trenton Bulldogs rolling. Hughs would get the first down and then a 22-yard run

later in the possession. This would allow Novak to run in for the touchdown. Gonzalo Mascorro would kick the ball through the uprights for the extra point which allowed Trenton to take the lead. With 32 seconds left on the clock, Baker threw an interception into the hands of Novak, returning the possession to Trenton. Mason Rongey would then return the favor and throw an interception into the hands of Johnson. Gallatin would end the half in possession of the ball, but Trenton would lead 7-6. Gallatin would start the third quarter with an onside kick which would be recovered by the Gallatin Bulldogs. Bell would take a snap that would get away from him and be recovered by Elijah Miller. Trenton would be unable to make enough yards down the field and punt it back to Gallatin. Gallatin would soon return it to Trenton on the punt, which was picked up by Novak and returned to the 25-yard line before being knocked out of bounds by Baker. Novak would then make it into the endzone with Mascorro kicking another extra point to extend their lead 14-6. The
two teams would go back and forth for the rest of the quarter with neither team being able to score. In the fourth quarter Gallatin was able to tie the score on a touch down run by Cale Turner and an extra two points by Baker. The Gallatin defense would hold the Trenton offense for a 26-yard field goal that was made by Mascorro. The Trenton Bulldogs would go on and score 28 more points, with 24 of those points being touchdowns by Rongey (2), Aiden Weyer,
and Hughs. The other four were extra kicks by Mascorro. All those points were scored within a three minute window. The Trenton Bulldogs went on to win 45-14 over the Gallatin Bulldogs, and brought home the Highway 6 trophy for the first time in eight matchups. The Trenton Bulldogs will travel to South Harrison to take on those Bulldogs Friday, October 20 and Gallatin will travel to Marceline.
