WMH to Host Live Nativity Scene The Wright Memorial Hospital Spiritual Wellness Team will host a Live Nativity on Tuesday, December 12 from 5:30-7 p.m. Wright Memorial previously held this event in 2018 and 2019. The event will begin underneath the Wright Memorial Physicians’ Group entrance awning and will conclude inside the hospital’s Education Center. The live display will feature five simple scenes that illustrate the story of Christmas. Each scene will have live characters with two scenes featuring live animals. The five scenes will be spaced along the sidewalk on the south side of the hospital, so some walking will be necessary. Christmas carolers will
also be spaced along the sidewalk. The entire walk should take 10-15 minutes to complete. “Ever since the first year we held this event, the Spiritual Wellness Team at Wright Memorial wanted to do something that demonstrated our organization’s faith-based heritage. We feel very blessed that the community has continued to support the event in the past, and we hope to have another great turnout this year,” said Jennifer Dixon, Director of Nursing at Wright Memorial Hospital. “Part of Saint Luke’s mission is to enhance the spiritual health of the communities we serve. This is a great way to start the Christmas season and see the story of Jesus Christ’s birth retold in sim-
plicity. We invite our community and employees to come out again and have a great time experiencing the story of the first Christmas.” As attendees finish the live nativity route outside the hospital, they are welcome to come inside to warm up, visit, and enjoy refreshments in the hospital’s Education Room. Parking for the event will be in the east parking lot and, if needed, the south parking lot. Signage will be posted, and parking attendants will help guide the traffic. Wright Memorial Hospital is located at 191 Iowa Blvd. in Trenton. For questions or information on how to help with the event, please call Jennifer Dixon at 660-214-8235.

sergeant at arms. Father Bill Fox of the St. Joseph’s Catholic Church at Trenton said that All Saint’s Day, which is celebrated each year on Nov. 1, is one of the most important celebrations of the Catholic Faith. All Saint’s Day is a Christian solemnity celebrated in honor of all the saints of the church, whether they are known or unknown. All Saint’s Day is part of the season of Allhallowtide, which includes two days (Oct. 31 to Nov. 1), and in some denominations, such as Anglicanism, extends to Remembrance Sunday. Father Fox talked about the steps in making individuals saints, including becoming a Servant of God, being designated as a venerable and being designated as “blessed” (beautification). During the business
meeting, members agreed to apply for a Rotary District Grant to help with the restoration of the World War I Monument at Moberly Park. The club would supply matching funds if successful. Daniel Gott reminded members to sign up for Salvation Army bellringing spots. The club will ring the bell on Friday afternoons beginning on Nov. 10 and continuing through Dec. 22. Photos of the winning entries in the Missouri Day Parade were displayed and winners will be contacted to come to a future meeting to receive a framed photo of their entry and a certificate. The speaker at the Rotary meeting on Nov. 9 will be John Hamilton, a member of the Trenton Park Board, who will talk about the World War I Memorial restoration project.

Extension Notes by University of Missouri Extension
CONSIDER FORAGE TESTING YOUR HAY CROP THIS YEAR by Shawn Deering, MU Extension Field Specialist in Livestock Haying season in northwest Missouri was disappointing. Most reports indicated yields were between half to one-third of normal. The prolonged, cool spring and lower than average rainfall may be the explanation for decreased production. Many producers have noted that even in wellfertilized hay fields, forage growth was slow. Hay supplies carried over from last year are also limited as many producers opted not to fertilize due to record high nutrient prices. Many producers took advantage of the emergency release of CRP (Conservation Reserve Program) and baled as much of that as they could. In addition, producers are baling a large number of cornstalks. CRP hay and cornstalk bales can definitely provide tonnage and as the old adage says, “they are better than a snowdrift.” While MU Extension has advised producers for years to conduct forage tests on their hay supply every year, this year it may be more important than ever. Hay is ex-
pensive this year and being able to manage it wisely starts with knowing the actual feed value of your supply. For example, let’s say you have two different lots of hay and they differ in quality, one being high and the other being low. The higher quality hay could be used to feed groups of cattle with higher nutritional needs such as first-calf heifers, lactating cows, growing calves, etc. and the lower quality hay could be used on dry, pregnant cows. Every MU Extension office in the northwest region should have forage sampling equipment that producers can check out and use. Depending on the laboratory and the exact type of test selected, cost of a forage test is in the $25 to $30 range. Staff in Extension Offices can also assist by instructing producers on how to take a proper sample. Having hay samples tested at a lab and consulting with an MU Livestock Specialist afterward can help producers interpret forage test results and develop feeding strategies based on the quality of your hay crop.

Corbitt Wall
guably one of the most prominent voices in the cattle marketing business and has developed a significant following of beef producers throughout the Midwest. Most producers appreciate his straightforward communication style and fundamental understanding of the cattle market from farm to futures.” Wall is currently the commercial cattle manager and livestock market analyst for DV Auction. He has earned a reputation for his keen understanding of the ever-evolving dynamics of
livestock marketing. Wall has engaged in many outlets to broadcast his knowledge of the industry and can be found five days a week on The Feeder Flash. Erwin adds that the Missouri Livestock Symposium focuses on finding the leading experts in their respective fields to help educate farmers, ranchers, and the public on issues that affect all livestock production, and we are excited to bring Corbitt Wall to Kirksville in December. If you're serious about livestock production, you won't want to miss the lineup of nationally-known speakers covering timely topics, and the large agricultural trade show. The Symposium offers a complimentary beef dinner, at 6 p.m. on Friday and a sponsored lunch on Saturday, courtesy of the Missouri Department of Agriculture
and Missouri commodity groups.

The best laid plans Editor’s Note: This column by Caleb Jones is from the November 2023 edition of Rural Missouri magazine. It has been printed with permission by the Association of Missouri Electric Cooperatives. As any dad knows, when your darling daughter looks up at you with her beautiful blue eyes and sweetly asks if she can have a kitty, it's not a question of if, it's a question of when you are getting a new pet. Earlier this summer that was the situation at the Jones Farm, when my daughter, Charlie, announced she wanted a few barn cats. Growing up on a farm, barn cats were a way of life. Barns equal mice. Hence the need for barn cats. So, I bit the bullet and arrived home with three "adorable" kittens (Charlie's words, not mine). On a Friday afternoon, as I loaded them up for a trip to the vet for their shots, one of those precious critters sank its sharp little teeth into my hand. By the end of the weekend, my hand was swollen enough to look like I was wearing a Mickey Mouse glove. After a trip to the ER, a session with a hand surgeon and five days in
the hospital receiving antibiotics, I was patched up - just a little slower at texting. This story is a perfect example of best laid plans. I wanted a happy daughter, not an infected finger. But sometimes even the best intentions fall short. That can be true in life and in business. I have a front-row seat to how electric cooperatives prepare, plan for and overcome even the most unexpected obstacles. We build our lines to exact standards to ensure they stand up to the most extreme conditions. Then we get hit by storms, heat waves, blizzards or your neighbor's kid who is learning to drive and takes out an electric pole with his mom's minivan. For most people, the mantra is "plan for the worst; hope for the best." That's not good enough for your electric cooperative. As we head into winter, employees at your electric co-op are working out the widgets and focusing on preventative maintenance. They winterize equipment and trim back trees that could snap power lines during a heavy snowfall. In the office, they

cross-train their employees so no piece of the puzzle is missing or delayed. At our power plants, we use hightech tools such as robots, sensors, vibration analyzers and ultrasound guns to find those gremlins that otherwise would sneak in and interrupt your supply of electricity. This constant work has the added advantage of keeping employees safe. As we enter the month of Thanksgiving, we all have a lot to be thankful for. I'm thankful my daughter has a vicious little ball of fur that she loves, and we should all be thankful for the dedication our electric cooperatives have to providing reliable electricity. Kittens should be cuddly, and your electricity should always be available. Let us all stop and remember everything we should be thankful for this month and always. ************** Caleb Jones is the executive vice president and CEO of the Association of Missouri Electric Cooperatives in Jefferson City.

More women than men die every year from heart disease and stroke. The good news is that 80 percent of cardiac events are preventable with education and lifestyle changes. Annually, the month of February is designated National Heart Month. While the red dress promotes awareness about women’s heart disease, the red scarf symbolizes lifelines for women as a reminder that they are not alone in their battle with heart disease. The red scarf offers comfort, support, and encouragement for women with heart disease

journalism education at the Missouri School of Journalism, was inspired by the gritty documentary photography of the Farm Security Administration during the New Deal. Veterans of the FSA photo corps worked with Edom to create a rigorous weeklong workshop in 1949. Each year, a town in Missouri is chosen as the host community. Workshop participants document a story with their cameras under the guidance of faculty who are some of the industry’s most prominent photographers and editors. The body of the work then becomes part of an extensive archive of life in small-town Missouri. Brian Kratzer, current co-director of the Missouri Photo Workshop, along with former co-directors Jim Curley and David Rees, curated the exhibition from a
collection of photos numbering in the thousands. “This is Missouri’s photo album,” said Kratzer. “We welcome everyone to explore how small towns have changed across the state and to see some of the best documentary photography that has captured America’s heartland.” Kratzer said the workshop maintains the world’s longest continuous photographic archive of rural America. The Missouri Photo Workshop maintains a website with many digital images from previous years. The public is invited to visit the exhibitions during regular visitor hours at the SHSMO Art Gallery, Center for Missouri Studies, Tuesday through Friday from 10 a.m.4:30 p.m. and each Saturday from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Learn more at SHSMO.org.

BTC Bank Donates $100,000 to Restore Historic Cupola Building in Downtown Gallatin The Friends of Gallatin Downtown Improvement, a non-profit leading the restoration of the historic Cupola building in downtown Gallatin, recently reached their fundraising goal of $300,000 - unlocking a generous $100,000 donation from BTC Bank. The Friends have worked tirelessly to raise funds for restoring and revitalizing this important community landmark. Thanks to their passion and the support of Gallatin residents, they were able to meet the $300,000 fundraising threshold agreed upon with BTC Bank. This then triggered BTC Bank's committed donation of $100,000 to support the project. In total, The Friends have now raised over $400,000 to complete the restoration and equip the building to once again be a vibrant hub for the Gallatin community. They plan to apply for additional grants that could bring even more financial support.
As part of their agreement with The Friends, BTC Bank will receive naming rights to the restored building, which will be known as the BTC Bank Gallatin Community Center. BTC will also have the exclusive right to lease office space in the building for the next ten years. The restoration of this beloved historic building in downtown Gallatin is exactly the type of initiative that BTC wants to support. By helping transform this beautiful structure into a new community center and public space, BTC is helping ensure the health and vitality of Gallatin's downtown for future generations. Their leaders view this as an opportunity to give back to the community that has supported their bank for the last 25 years. We applaud the hard work of The Friends to make this important project a reality and raising crucial funding that will help bring this piece of Gallatin history back to life.

Pawn star Bad times are good for the pawnbroking industry. As times get tough for people in Britain grappling with a cost of living crisis, the demand is growing for credit. H&T Group, the U.K.’s biggest pawnbroker, is benefiting as more people pledge their jewelry, watches and other valuable items to borrow cash to make ends meet. Britons are facing stubbornly high inflation, as rising interest rates have pushed up mortgage costs for homeowners and landlords. That’s added to H&T’s costs but it has also resulted in demand for its services rising to record
levels, CEO Chris Gillespie said. The company, which operates more than 270 outlets across the United Kingdom, reported that its “pledge book” has swollen while pre-tax profit in the first six months of the year jumped 31%. The company is also benefiting as U.K. regulators tighten up on the so-called high-cost credit market, with a shrinking number of providers that lend out small amounts of money at higher interest rates than bank loans. Gillespie said the typical amount that H&T customers borrow is 200 pounds ($247).
