16 Projects at the Roy Blunt Reservoir Projected to be Bidout or Begin Construction in the Fall of 2023

MILAN, MO: There are a multitude of separate projects to complete the Roy Blunt Reservoir, many of those may or will be starting construction in the fall of 2023 or as soon as the North Central Missouri Regional Water Commission receives a 404 Mitigation Permit. These projects are in addition to the ongoing preconstruction work currently underway. Many of these projects are designed, and or nearing completion of design and approval processes. Essentially, construction work should start this fall and proceed for 3-4 years with varying intensity and run concurrently with the proposed dam and spillway. This activity will mostly be within the Roy Blunt Reservoir watershed and include a varying amount and

types of infrastructure construction. The current published dates are projections only and contingent upon a number of factors, foremost among them the 404 mitigation permit and final plan approvals by regulatory agencies.

This outline was utilized for a recent multi-agency/Project Team meeting. It contains our intentions for type of contract, some construction commencement and timelines as well as identified or prospective sources of funds (funding mix).

Memorial day

First beginning as a day to honor veterans of the Civil War, Memorial Day has come to mean many things: honoring all loved ones who have passed, honoring veter-

Kevin Collins ans, and the unofficial beginning of summer. While we are several years removed from the civil war many think of this day as a day to honor all veterans. A good way to honor the day.

The ministry of Jesus was growing. He would need help. He could not deliver God’s message to the entire world alone. He chose twelve men to be his helpers, his disciples. If we had been there, we might have shuddered at His selections. They were a motley group---fishermen who may very well have been unable to read or write, a Zealot (one who hated the Roman rule so much He believed it was okay to murder them) and who would have hated the tax collector, Matthew. William Barclay said, “If Simon the Zealot had met Matthew anywhere other than in the presence of Jesus, he would have stuck a dagger in him.” Jesus’ wisdom in choosing this group could be seriously questioned.

Anyone who has ever worked with groups knows how difficult it is to keep even a friendly group of twelve people focused and united. As one might expect, the disciples were not only different, but they also had personal difficulties. The brothers James

and John sought to finagle the left and right seats beside the throne in Jesus’ new kingdom. As you might expect, this did not sit well with the other disciples. That whole affair proved the disciples had no idea about the nature of Jesus’ Kingdom. Judas was so displeased with Jesus’ Kingdom concept he became a traitor and then killed himself.

Despite all these differences and difficulties, these disciples led a Jesus movement that turned the world upside down. Ten of the twelve died martyrs’ deaths. Peter, who rose to be the leader of the group, was joined in the ministry by his wife. The two of them were martyred together in Rome. Peter was forced to watch his wife being slaughtered and shouted words of encouragement to her in the process. Then, he was crucified upside down.

These were the same men who hid in an upper room during the crucifixion of Jesus. In answer to one’s doubts about Jesus’ selection of disciples, we must say Jesus saw this courage and character in them when no one else could. Jesus saw something in these men that others could not see. That leads me to ask, “What does Jesus see in me? What does He see in us?”

ton, Mo and it was out on a mission today. It was spreading fungicide and nitrogen on a field in Worthington.

Scott Whitworth, owner of Worthington AG, said they first used it in the spring for wheat and plan on using it on beans and corn this year. His son Colton was on the ground to add product to the drone and also change the battery if needed. The have more of them, so they can keep working while the drone is being reloaded.

The drone is programmed to the specific

field so no one needs to be there except to keep it filled with product and recharge batteries. The drone, which uses two gallons per acre, holds 12 gallons of product and will spray six acres per filling and battery charge. Whitworth said it is more efficient then other methods. It would have put an eagle or hawk to shame the way it was scanning the field and flying back and forth as if seeking prey. Turning at the edge of the field and wasting no product. The future has arrived.

The warmer weather has brought many benefits such as crop and garden planting and others. Warm weather also means that it is time for you to scout for insects and diseases, a couple of which I will talk about here.

Carpenter bees continue to be a real pest here in North Missouri. They resemble honey bees except they are smooth on their underneath and technically do not stink. I say technically because they do buzz around close to people and can be irritating. They can be found on wood surfaces such as decks, barn rafters and other wooden surfaces. The main concern with these insects is they bore holes in the wood to lay eggs and then come back to the same place causing more damage. What can you do about them? (1) They typically will not bore into painted or stained surfaces so in the case of decks, etc. that’s the best option. (2) if you find the holes (they look like perfect drilled holes), you can put cotton into them and putty them shut and spray chemicals. You can learn much more on these insects at https:// extension.missouri.edu/ publications/g7424.

The other insect you may have now is termites. The biggest concern with them is to make certain you identify them s such. Termites and flying ants look similar but the damage is very different. Your county extension office can assist you in identification or you can also find more at https://extension.missouri.edu/publications/ g7420.

In conclusion, whether you are a homeowner, gardener or farmer; you need to scout on a regular basis to find insects

or diseases that can harm you or your property or income.

REMINDERS

If you have a weed, disease or insect in your garden you need help with, contact Jennifer Schutter at schutterjl@ missouri.edu. Please send clear pictures of the issue or problem as that helps her. If you have field problems, contact Valerie Tate at tatev@ umsystem.edu. You can call the office (9472705) too.

The 4-H and FFA weigh-in on Sunday, June 11 from 2 to 4 pm You must bring your animals in if you need them nose printed on that day. The swine, sheep and goats will all be done as they come in so no specific time for each species as was the case in the past. I will plan to remind you again in future articles.

The “Market on the Square” continues every Saturday morning on the west side of the square. Some things you can find are asparagus, lettuce, rhubarb, plants, baked goods, eggs and many other early spring items with more on the way every week. In addition to those, the market has crafts, clothing, soap, woodworking, collectibles and other handicrafts.

The market in Unionville runs every Saturday from now until the end of October from 7 to 11 am or when items are gone. There are farmer’s markets in other counties also. I hope you will support the market and the local growers that help our economy.

THOUGHT: “Life isn’t meant to be easy; it’s meant to be lived. Sometimes good, other times rough. But with every up and down, you learn lessons that make you strong!”
