FADED MEMORIES
Daughter’s Book Creates Legacy From Parent’s Treasures When most people think of World War II, a vast array of images and memories come to mind. Depending on your age, you envision the forties in flashes of music, movies and war posters. Some are lucky enough to have heard rare first-hand accounts from the soldiers themselves. Others remember the stories told by the friends and loved ones left behind. Then there are the archived photos, letters, old uniforms and faded scrapbooks. Those who had access to these treasures were the really lucky ones. Much more powerful and poignant than any book or magazine, they tell a single story; one leaf in the vast book of recorded history. Marsha Knudsen is one of the lucky ones. Her parents, Ruth and Homer Norris were Ralls County natives and were married for 63 years. After her parents’ deaths in 2005 and 2008 she began a slow journey of discovery when she opened an old steamer trunk. Inside was priceless historical treasure. Bundles of air mail letters tied with ribbon nestled among diaries and journals. A sectioned box held a ring with an “N” engraved on it and a golden locket marked with a flowing, cursive “R.” Knudsen didn’t remember her father talking much about his war experiences. He and Ruth were newlyweds when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor December 7, 1941. His sailor’s letters chronicled the physical demands,

VIEWS/COMMENTS COMMENTARY
From The Editor By Editor Carolyn Trower
For a lot of people Veterans Day is on the love it or ignore it list of holidays. If you have veterans in your family or know/ work with those who have served in the military, it’s a natural part of your November calendar. If your life doesn’t include any direct contact with those who have served their country, then it’s just an annoying day when the banks and post offices are closed. Last week I had the pleasure of attending two
ceremonies celebrating our nation’s veterans. The first was at the Bill Trower Memorial Park in Perry at 11 in the morning of Nov. 11; the second was at Center Elementary School later that afternoon. Other celebrations were held throughout the county. New London Elementary and Mark Twain High School both held ceremonies honoring local veterans. Several veterans spoke to the students and answered questions about their service.
COMMENTARY
Jack Remembers By Jack Hackley
FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS It was a Friday night high school football game between undefeated Hogan Prep and Oak Grove, a playoff game. With less than a minute to play, Oak Grove trails 44 to46. The play comes over the sideline and 81 year old George Pirch, who calls himself a retired nonpaid utility coach, is hit
and knocked down with a broken hip. Not knowing his hip was broken, they loaded him in to a John Deere Gator vehicle used to transport injured players off the field. Only one thing wrong. It was pointed the wrong direction, and George couldn’t see the field. They were planning on transporting
COMMENTARY
Hawk Talk
By John Hawkins Perry, MO
THANKSGIVING Well, here it is; almost Thanksgiving. Interesting that political correctness still allows celebration of this occasion. Native Americans have not yet filed suits against alluding to them as Indians. (Genetically, they’re not even close.) I wonder if there’s any record of how the Vikings referred to the indigenous inhabitants during the explorations of North America. (Which wasn’t even North America then, because the Vikings didn’t know there was a big river with a whole other continent wrapped around it, dangling by an isthmus from what they had found.) Wonder what the Vikings did call this place? West Greenland? Since
they weren’t looking for spice trade (or Spice Girls), and probably had never heard of India, they most likely did not engage in the over-exuberant presumptions of Columbus. But, the invisible protective shield had been compromised, and next thing you knew, there were undocumented immigrants claiming squatters rights all over the place. Most had little, if any, desire to learn and communicate using the indigenous language. In fact, most of the aliens chose to form their own little ethnic and religious enclaves, which they called “colonies.” As the indigenous inhabitants watched from a distance (even Native
I was an English major in college, and a love of reading has been a driving part of my life as long as I can remember. Historical novels were some of my childhood favorites and many of them dealt with armed conflicts, whether it was Robin Hood, Vikings, pirates or Indians. My curiosity was whetted and I turned to the factual to flesh out what I had learned through fiction. It heartens me to see the number of biographies and historical novels geared towards young readers. We live history every day. You only have to turn on the news and see the turmoil all across the globe, much of it directly or indirectly affecting the U.S. Or switch to the National Geographic channel or another science or history channel and it’s easy to get caught up in colonial or medieval times. I used to tell my
students that learning was all about connections. Literature and history go hand in hand. Stories and poetry respond to the events of the era and shed light on the culture and human condition of the time and place. What a wonderful natural resource we have in our veterans. Though some stories of their service are too personal or too painful to relate, there are many that can help a young person understand what it was like to be on foreign soil under hostile conditions. Time and place, politics and culture, and the human element in currents events are powerful lessons. The holidays are a great time to talk with the veterans in your life. Let them know they are appreciated for the soldier they were and the person they are. Listen and learn and remember.
him to an ambulance. By this time, there are 4.6 seconds left in the game. George makes them turn the Gator around and not go anywhere so he can see the last play of the game, a field goal and Oak Grove wins by one point. George is loaded in to the ambulance, taken to St. Luke’s Hospital where the next day a rod and three screws are inserted in his hip. He wanted the operation completed in time so that he would to be able to watch the Missouri football game that afternoon on TV from his hospital bed. This is another George Pirch story for John Dee Thompson, the Ray County Commissioners, and a follow-up to my George Pirch article. In reference to an article I recently did on Halloween, my wife Lau-
ra reminded me that the American Legion Auxiliary sponsored Trick-or Treat for UNICEF. When the trick-or-treaters returned and turned in their banks, they were given cookies and treats at that time. A classmate reminded me that when we loaded the streets up with farm machinery on Halloween night, we also put axle grease on the door handle of Jitterbug Robinson’s Drug Store. Jitterbug was a nervous sort of guy. Every morning after Halloween he would forget, end up with a handful of grease, and the townspeople would hear some classic cuss words.

Americans were immigrants through an uncontrolled border, but since no one can prove that they weren’t the first to settle here, we’ll acknowledge their precedence), the various colonies squabbled over political allegiance, religious orientation, and sometimes would not even talk to each other to resolve issues. Sooner or later, one faction would achieve dominant status, and that’s the way things were for a while. Fast forward to day-before-yesterday, and then do a quantum leap back to the future. Durned if it isn’t almost Thanksgiving. Yep! That’s it. That little spec of human bonding barely visible amidst the glare of meteoric sales emerging out of the “Black Profit” marketing continuum. Probably, because Thanksgiving itself has no economic impact on the people who don’t like us but do want to sell stuff to U.S. consumers, they ignore this holiday almost as much as Groundhog’s Day. This allows them to concentrate their disapproval on Christmas materialism (without which, most would be impoverished) and the observance
of a Christian holiday. I find no record that there was ever a colony related to any political orientation in what is now the U.S. (or anywhere else, for that matter) that was established on the basis of Atheism. Although some of the colonies did define “freedom of religion” as “my way or the highway,” the option of leaving was open. Other than the ancestors of many of our black population, no one has been forced to emigrate to the United States. If a religious order practicing in the United States is offended by the religious observance of another order; that is their right. It is also their problem. Political correctness is not an excuse to restrict the free observance of any religious celebration. Actually, political correctness is in direct confrontation with our Constitution. The spineless administrators who would cancel the observance of Christmas because some other religion finds it offensive should then ban all other religious observances and see how far they get with the ACLU and the courts.
Missouri Minimum Wage Rate Set Wage Rate in Effect Jan. 1
The Missouri Department of Labor announces the state minimum wage rate for 2015 has been established, according to state law, at $7.65, effective January 1. All businesses are required to pay at minimum, the $7.65 hourly rate, except retail and service businesses whose
annual gross sales are less than $500,000. Per state law, the minimum wage rate is calculated once a year and may increase or decrease based on the cost of living as measured by the previous year’s Consumer Price Index. Missouri law does not allow the state’s minimum wage rate to be lower than
the federal minimum wage rate. Compensation for tipped employees must also total at least $7.65 per hour. Employers are required to pay tipped employees at least 50 percent of the minimum wage, or the amount necessary to bring the employee’s total compensation to a mini-
mum of $7.65 per hour. A printable version of the updated poster is available for businesses at http://labor.mo.gov/posters. To learn more about minimum wage, visit www.labor.mo.gov/DLS/ MinimumWage/.
THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI EXTENSION OFFICE
Farm bill sign-up takes hard decisions for crop coverage, meetings explain “Crop farmers have hard decisions to make under the 2014 farm bill,” Scott Brown told 140 growers at Macon, Nov. 11. “This farm bill is like nothing you’ve seen before,” said Brown, University of Missouri agricultural economist. “You won’t walk out of here knowing how to sign up your farm.” Macon was one of four stops in three days for a farm-bill team from Missouri Farm Service Agency (FSA) and MU Extension. Mike Lafolette, from the FSA state office in Columbia, said, “This gets very complex. But first, know that direct payments are gone.” With the last farm bill, crop farmers signed up at FSA offices. A few weeks later, their check arrived. In the new law, farmers must choose one of three options. Then they won’t receive a check, if one comes, until next year after selling crops. There are two major plans: Price Loss Coverage (PLC) and Agricultural Risk Coverage (ARC). PLC covers crop prices. ARC covers farm revenue from yield and price. A complexity: There are two ARCs. ARCCO uses county average yields. ARC-IC, for an individual’s farm, uses proven farm yields. In bad years the farm bill provides a safety net. “It’s insurance without a premium,” he added. Decisions differ for each farm, speakers said. Growers with multiple farms can enroll each in a different program, except under ARCIC, where all farms are lumped together. There’s lots of homework before going to the FSA office to sign up. Mike Cadle, FSA state director, said, “We can’t tell you which program is best. You must decide.” Under this farm bill, Congress mandated FSA and extension join to explain the programs. To help, MU FAPRI (Food and Agriculture Policy Research Institute) joined Texas A&M economists to create computer tools to help farmers study options. Joe Outlaw, from College Station, Texas, said, “This tool won’t tell which program is best. It gives numbers to help you choose.” He warned that “farmers’ fat fingers” will be typing a lot of farm
data. But the software does a lot of data entry, he said. The tool downloads commodity prices and outlooks, plus county yield averages and other FSA records. Those numbers may be needed for farm calculations. Pat Westhoff, from FAPRI, said decisions would be easy if farmers knew future yields and prices. His group will post monthly outlooks to use. Brown assured farmers that local FSA and MU Extension specialists will hold follow-up meetings in most counties. His website will show new details at http://farmbill.missouri. edu. “There are many people who can help,” he said. Contacts are on the website, a part of the MU agricultural economics department. Groups sponsoring local meetings include corn and soybean growers, Missouri Farm Bureau and FCS Financial. Cadle said many farmers who’ve never come to an FSA office will be coming in to sign up. Grass farmers who don’t plant crops may be eligible for safety-net help. If their farm has an FSA crop base, that can be used. Because of the complexity of the farm bill, it has taken since April to write crop rules. As a result, there was no program sign-up for 2014. Farmers can sign up for 2014 and 2015 starting now. In August, all owners and operators received from FSA a printout of base acres and yields on file. The first step will be to find the FSA letter and confirm its accuracy. It can be updated. That data applies for five years, the life of the bill. Once a farm bill selection is made it cannot be changed. On the first visit to the FSA office, update the yield records, Brown said. The next step is base reallocation. “You can reallocate your base acres, but you cannot increase the base,” Lafolette said. “A lot of grass was plowed to plant crops. Those acres will not increase your base.” All farmers and landowners should attend local farm bill meetings. The first deadline, for yield update and base reallocation, is Feb. 27. Selection of ARC or PLC is March 31.

LOCAL HISTORY A View From the Past
“Yesteryears from the local papers”
Members of the V.F.W. P0st #4088 in Perry was very active in the community during the years after the return of veterans after World War II. The membership was large and the young men participated in 4th of July celebrations, marched in parades throughout the year, held dances and picnics, tended to the local cemeteries and placed flags on Memorial Day. The above picture is from the V.F.W. scrapbooks scanned into the on-line library at the Ralls County Historical Society. It did not include the veterans’ names or the particular event pictured.
The following news items were taken from newspaper accounts courtesy of Ron Leake, president of the Ralls County Historical Society. Pvt. Jeff Woodhurst of this city has been slightly wounded in action in France, according to a telegram from the War Department to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Woodhurst, north of town. He was wounded in action July 28th and the department stated that progress reports will be forwarded as received. We are indeed sorry to hear this news and hope with all of Jeff ’s friends that he will make a speedy recovery. Men from this community have been wounded in all the European theatres – North Africa, Italy and now in France. Private Daniel Warren, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ola Warren, of DeSoto, Kansas, was inducted into the Army on February 18, 1943, and received his 11 weeks of basic training in the medical corps at Camp Robinson, Ark.

Private Sam J. Wise,
son of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Wise, southeast of Perry, was inducted into the Army December 23, 1942, at Jefferson Barracks. He was in camp in Virginia, near Richmond. He has been in England since about the first of June in the U.S. air corps as an engineer. He was recently in London according to a letter received by his parents. Dorsey D. Shulse Jr., son of Dorsey Shulse, Sr., of Center, and the husband of the former Gertrude Dudley, also of Center, has been recently promoted to the grade of Technical Sergeant in the Army Air Corps. His unit, a B-24 Liberator outfit serving with the fifth Air Force, has set a record for the destruction of enemy shipping. It is known as “Ken’s Men,” and Lieut. Gen. Kenney, Commanding General of the Fifth Air Force has referred to it as “the first team.” The Fifth Air Force which has been overseas since February, 1942, and is credited with 108 ships sunk and the damaging of 150 enemy craft principally in the Bismarck Sea battle of March 1-4, 1943;

He married Miss Margaret Miller and they have a five-months-old daughter, Bobbie Ann. Richard Glen Swon, son of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Swon, north of Perry, was one of the first boys in this community to enlist in the Army during the present emergency. He entered the U.S. Army November 6, 1939, and is now a Private First Class in the 7th Infantry at Camp Elliott, San Diego, California.

Awards, baseball fields, and Snow Removal Discussed at New London City Council Meeting Awards, baseball fields, and snow removal preparations were topics at the New London City Council’s November 10 meeting. Jeff Arp of MERMA recognized the New London Police Department for their 100% participation in the monthly online training and announced their award of a grant to purchase wearable cameras. Lindsey Paxton and Roger Stout of the New London Ball Association presented concerns about the condition of the City Park baseball field. Holes in the fence, theft or damage of parts of the electrical system, and trees growing across the outfield fences were their primary concerns. The possibility of getting grants, using prison labor, and renting the field to pay for repairs was
discussed. Street Department manager Don Epperson reported the truck was ready for snow removal, but the truck needs a new clutch. Repairs were authorized. Culvert replacements continue. The fire department was authorized to buy the equipment necessary to eliminate the repeater conflict with 911. They are purchasing a 360° antenna from A&W at a cost of $300. Brian Boleach was approved to join the Fire Department. The council approved possible purchase of radios and pagers up to $500. City Clerk Millie Powell asked if water account deposit should be raised due to the new sewer rates. The issue was added to the December meeting agenda.

FAITH & RELIGION NL First Christian
Our worship service began on November 16 with the choir singing “This is the Day,” accompanied by Marilyn Lucas. Pastor Tom gave the welcome and the upcoming events. Bible study will resume on Tuesday, November 18 at 1:30p.m., led by Marilyn Lucas. Pastor Tom will be chaplain at HRH on Thursday, November 20. Next Sunday, November 23, Thanksgiving Cheer Baskets will be prepared and delivered. Pastor Tom led the responsive call to worship followed by the hymn of praise “Are Ye Able, Said the Master”, the invocation and Lord’s Prayer in unison. The worship hymn for today’s service was “Near To the Heart of God.” Those in need of prayer include Bud & Fern Arnold, Mandy Fleming, Linda Epperson, Linda Duniven, Diane Glascock, Dale Talley, the family of Marion Kendall, the family of Harry Musgrove, the family of Sandy (Flick) Miller, all of our men and women serving in the military and all of those who are unable to worship with us today. The silent prayer and pastoral prayer followed. In preparation for the Lord’s Supper, Pastor Tom gave the meditation and words of institution.
Pastor Tom Day
Communion hymn was “Break Thou the Bread of Life.” Serving at the Lord’s table today were Eunie Whitaker, Bryan Day, Becky Jarman and Dave Jarman. Clarence Lucas offered the elder’s prayer. The receiving of the tithes and offerings followed with Pastor Tom giving the prayer of dedication. The scripture chosen by Pastor Tom for today’s worship service was from Mark 1:32-35 and his message entitled “I Knelt Today Where Jesus Knelt.” If we want to walk today where Jesus walked, we need to kneel where Jesus knelt to pray. Unfortunately, many people today look at praying as something they have to do, rather than something they get to do. Jesus did not pray because he had to, he prayed because he needed to. He needed prayer for strength and for direction. We also need prayer for direction and guidance from God. The hymn of invitation was “Trust and Obey” followed by the benediction. Here at First Christian Church, we extend a warm welcome to all friends and visitors. You are invited to join us each Sunday morning at 11a.m.
New Minister at Adiel Baptist Church

Adiel welcomes all to come and worship.
Perry Christian Church
The Prelude was played by Lola McDonald for the worship hour at the Perry Christian Church, November 15. The choir sang “Fairest Lord Jesus”.

The prayer hymn was “It Is Well With My Soul”. Our concerns include Mae and Ron McLaughlin, Gene Krigbaum, Gary Forbis, Carol Billett, Dorothy Woodhurst and the
people of Ferguson, under going a stressed and dangerous time, as well as the rest of our country. “Hear Our Prayer, O Lord” was the choir’s response. Jason issued the invitation to share the Lord’s Supper. “Nothing But The Blood” was sung. Elders serving were Joyce Coleman and Floyd Seelow. Deacons were Jim Gay, David Lewellen and Greg Harrison. Lola accompanied Arlen as he sang his favorite hymn, “There’s Something About That Name”. Jeannie Gay explained to the children about the tools God gave them to use in building His Kingdom. 1 Kings 19:3-5 was read by Caytlyn Provancha for Jason’s sermon, “The Journey”.

Everyone is welcome to join us in our Thanksgiving and Christmas celebrations.

world. As Jesus tells about the talents given to the three men - it is what they did with those talents one applies his talents to help the kingdom grow, as did the second man doing their best with their attitude; but the third buried his talent and did nothing - digging a hole in the ground. When Jesus comes back He will know what we did with our talents and gifts to build the kingdom - In prayer and time it seems to be easier to dig a hole than to invest your time and talent. God knows every step you take to help someone else - a parable about attitude there is a return on your investment. Jesus will ask what have you been doing to build MY kingdom? What ARE you doing? Pray! Max Tilt led the Offertory as Patti played “I Surrender All”. Everyone retired in fellowship as Patti played “For the Beauty of the Earth”. Services are held every Sunday at 9 a.m. and all are welcome to come hear the word of the Lord.
Faded Memories
Daughter’s Book Creates Legacy From Parent’s Treasures u Continued from Page 1A homesickness and fear shared by his many brothers in arms. One letter, sent by Homer just before he left Pearl Harbor in November 1943, said, “Honey, this will probably be the last letter you get from me for a long time so don’t worry. There’s a big job to be done before I can come home to my darling wife and I’m sure coming too just as soon as this war is over…Your old man, Homer” Knudsen began the trip through time, learning about her parents as teenagers and as young newlyweds during one of the most intense times in America’s history. She shared some of her discoveries with a weekly memoir-writing group she attends. The group encouraged her with their interest in following her parents’ war story. The defining moment came when one woman said, “well, this isn’t just a war story; it’s a love story.” With her writing club’s continued encouragement Knudsen began a five-year project that led to the book, “Sailor’s Mail.” She believes her book will touch many
people. “In some respects my parents’ war experience is personal, but in many ways their story is representative of a whole generation of everyday heroes who spent their lives trying to do the right thing.” Knudsen is an educator, historian and public speaker who lives in Columbia, Missouri. She plans to speak to schools, clubs, historical societies, civic organizations and veterans groups to honor the World War II generation and to encourage others to become memory keepers. Her costumed historical portrayal, Memory Keepers Leave Legacies honors those brave men and women and hopes to inspire others to leave a legacy for their own families. Knudsen can be contacted to schedule a program at 573-881-6275 or sailorsmailswak@gmail. com. Books are available at the Ralls County Historical Society, on www. sailorsmail.net or from Amazon. She encourages people to contact her on the website if they have any questions about her story.

One fatality was in Ste. Genevieve County where a heater in a hunting blind exploded, killing the hunter. The second involved a fall from a tree stand in Crawford County. A third non-fatal incident involved a hunter in Phelps County shooting himself in the leg while loading his rifle.
THE MUNZLINGER MINUTE
Making Your Voice Heard Now that the elections are over, people may be wondering what is next for lawmakers in Jefferson City. In a way, I am too, but I will not be alone. Each year, my office puts together an opportunity for anyone in the 18th Senatorial District to give me ideas on those things they believe should be considered by the Missouri General Assembly, and this year is no different. If you go to my Missouri Senate Web page, senate. mo.gov/Munzlinger, you will see a wide variety of options and ways to stay in touch with me. On the left-hand side of the page — under the “E-mail the Senator” and “Sign Up for E-News” tabs — you will see the tab called “Submit a Budget or Legislation Suggestion.” This is where you come in. Under this tab, there
are several options. If someone is in favor of adding funding to one department or another, he or she is asked where this money should come from. An increase in one program means a decrease to another. In the ShowMe State, we balance the budget every year and only spend on the most important services for the people of our state. In addition, constituents are asked to explain why they believe one department should have more funding than the other. This helps us greatly, in terms of having the ability to see what it is the voters of our district want, and why. Below this is a section asking what types of legislation people believe would best serve Missouri, or what laws are on the books that may need some
changing. These are the questions that lawmakers ask themselves all the time, and are among the reasons why people run for office. The opportunity to fill out this online survey continues from this week through the end of the year. Our next legislative session is only weeks away, and I am anxious to start prefiling bills that I think will help not only the 18th Senatorial District, but the entire state. The regular legislative session that was held this year yielded several major pieces of legislation, but we also saw some setbacks. I want to hear your perspective on what is working and what is not. I also would like to take a moment and thank all of our veterans for everything they have done, and will continue to do, for our
great nation. As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact my office. Thank you.

First half of October wet enough to set record
A lot of rain fell on Missouri the first half of October. The second half was, thankfully, dry. Several counties in central Missouri had more than 10 inches of rain. After that wet start, a pattern change turned off the tap and fairer weather dominated the last half of October. Even with drier conditions for the second half, the precipitation for the entire month was above normal. Rain stopped harvest for much of October and farmers were unable to return to their fields until the final days of the month, Guinan said. While the rain did slow the harvest, it brought one great benefit, relief from the drought. October temperatures were not as extreme as precipitation, but there were some highs. Guinan says on Oct. 25-26 temperatures climbed to the mid- and upper-80s. The monthly temperatures
averaged slightly above normal. “With the exception of a cool July and September, slightly above-average temperatures dominated this year’s growing season, so it was a decent growing season when you look at temperatures,” Guinan said. Missouri saw its first widespread freeze on Halloween night, with temperatures dipping into the 20s and 30s. Guinan says that effectively ended the 2014 growing season. For 100 years, MU Extension has engaged Missourians in relevant programs based on University of Missouri research. The year 2014 marks the centennial of the Smith-Lever Act, which formalized the Cooperative Agricultural Extension Service, a national network whose purpose is to extend university-based knowledge beyond the campus.

Devin, went down Friday afternoon to check out the course in order to prepare. They all felt confident about the course and thought they could get 5K times that were close, or better, than what they usually ran. They only had 3 challenges on this race meet day: the course, the other athlete’s competing against them on this course, and they had to challenge themselves on this course. They knew they had to leave it all on the course, hold nothing back. Kaelee Ogle set an individual PR (personal record), which is rare for the state meet race. The others were not far from their own personal best race times. They all ran well! I am very proud of their accomplishments this inaugural XC season. What they have achieved this season was far more than I, or even they, ever expected. All season long, all of my XC athlete’s demonstrated desire, commitment, self-discipline, hard work, and responsibility. They each put in the effort to be successful in this sport, and did so as a team. They each had goals; to medal, to score points for the team, qualify for an individual honor, qualify as a team for an important race later on, or just to have fun! Regardless of what that goal was, they each gained something positive from this experience. Jeff Johnson said it best, “They don’t know it yet -and they certainly don’t understand it -- but the sport they have chosen will never leave them. It will lead them down avenues of achievement and success that they cannot yet imagine.”

Crop Management Conference adds ‘big data’ to 33 other farming issues
COLUMBIA, Mo. – The Crop Management Conference in Columbia, Dec. 17-18, starts the University of Missouri winter meetings. Farmers and their crop advisers will find 33 sessions on research and practical advice. Topics include cover crops, nutrients, pests, and soil and water. The crops include grain, oilseed and forages. The latest extension and research are included from the MU College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources. Speakers also come from other land-grant universities. “Big data” is the topic for keynote speaker Scott Shearer. He calls it “A Grower’s Most Elusive Farm Asset.” He’s from Ohio State University. The conference packs in topics that will be heard later in meetings across the state. “This is the starting place,” says conference leader Kevin Bradley, MU associate professor of plant science. This year Bradley adds professional development. That includes “Social Media Mistakes You Can Avoid.” Returnees come to hear the basics, he adds. Most popular are updates from MU Extension on new crop pests found last season. Controls are explained. Also, specialists give alerts on potential problems next year. The Alliance for Grassland Renewal will update progress on replacing toxic fescue in pastures. They will tell of planting novel-endophyte fescue varieties. An urgent topic will be caring for stored grains. The big crop in 2014 adds importance to this. Other topics: nitrogen management, beneficial insects in crops and forages, when to spray fungicides for best return, biomass energy, efficient
waters use, and more. Details are at http:// plantsci.missouri.edu/ cmc/. At lunch, Missouri Attorney General Chris Koster tells “Impact of Government Regulations.” Those enrolled get a bonus at no extra cost. “We have access to the MO-AG Winter Convention, also held at the Holiday Inn Executive Center at the same time. MO-AG offers a big trade show,” Bradley says. The Crop Conference name badge gives access, Bradley says. The conference began for certified crop advisers to earn educational credits. That continues. Now farmers find they get early looks at coming trends. Those attending can bring laptop or tablet and download the speakers’ slides to follow as they speak. Full conference fee is $160. One day costs $105. Advance registration by Dec. 8 is needed for meal counts. A late fee of $25 is added after then. In his third year as leader, Bradley knows to keep the programs moving. A complaint, he says, is that with three tracks running at once, it isn’t possible to attend all sessions—even in two days. For 100 years, MU Extension has engaged Missourians in relevant programs based on University of Missouri research. The year 2014 marks the centennial of the Smith-Lever Act, which formalized the Cooperative Agricultural Extension Service, a national network whose purpose is to extend university-based knowledge beyond the campus.

PUBLIC NOTICE - MISSOURI FEMA-4200-DR-MO The U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) hereby gives notice to the public of its intent to reimburse state and local Missouri governments and agencies, and eligible private non-profit organizations for eligible costs incurred to repair and/or replace facilities damaged by severe storms, tornadoes, straight-line winds, and flooding during the period of September 9-10, 2014. This notice applies to the Public Assistance (PA) and Hazard Mitigation Grant (HMGP) programs implemented under the authority of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, 42 USC §§ 5121-5207, as amended. Under a major disaster declaration (FEMA-4200-DR-MO) signed by the President on October 31, 2014, the following counties in the state of Missouri have been designated adversely affected by the disaster and are eligible for PA only: Adair, Andrew, Atchison, Daviess, Gentry, Grundy, Harrison, Holt, Knox, Lewis, Linn, Livingston, Macon, Mercer, Nodaway, Putnam, Ralls, Shelby, Sullivan, and Worth counties. All counties in the state of Missouri are eligible for HMGP. There are no counties declared for Individual Assistance. This public notice concerns public assistance activities that may affect historic properties, activities that are located in, or affect, wetland areas or the 100year floodplain (areas determined to have a one percent probability of flooding in any given year), and critical actions within the 500-year floodplain. Such activities may adversely affect the historic property, floodplain or wetland, or may result in continuing vulnerability to flood damage. Such activities may include restoring facilities located in a floodplain with eligible damage to pre-disaster condition. Examples of such activities include, but are not limited to, the following: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.
Non-emergency debris removal and disposal; Non-emergency protective measures; Repair/replacement of roads, including streets, culverts, and bridges; Repair/replacement of public dams, reservoirs and channels; Repair/replacement of public buildings and related equipment; Repair/replacement of public water control facilities, pipes and distribution systems; Repair/replacement of public utilities, including sewage treatment plants, sewers and electrical power distribution systems; and Repair/replacement of eligible private, non-profit facilities (hospitals, educational centers, emergency and custodial care services, etc.).
The President’s Executive Order 11988, Floodplain Management, and Executive Order 11990, Protection of Wetlands, requires that all federal actions in or affecting the 100-year floodplain or wetland areas be reviewed for opportunities to move the facility out of the floodplain or wetland and to reduce the risk of future damage or loss from flooding and minimize harms to wetlands. However, FEMA has determined that in certain situations there are no alternatives to restoring an eligible facility located in the floodplain to its pre-disaster condition. These situations meet all of the following criteria: 1. 2. 3. 4.

U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Federal Emergency Management ncy (FEMA) hereby gives notice to the public of its intent to reimburse state local Missouri governments and agencies, and eligible private non-profit nizations for eligible costs incurred to repair and/or replace facilities damd by severe storms, tornadoes, straight-line winds, and flooding during the od of September 9-10, 2014. notice applies to the Public Assistance (PA) and Hazard Mitigation Grant GP) programs implemented under the authority of the Robert T.

public notice concerns public assistance activities that may affect historic erties, activities that are located in, or affect, wetland areas or the 100floodplain (areas determined to have a one percent probability of flooding ny given year), and critical actions within the 500-year floodplain. Such vities may adversely affect the historic property, floodplain or wetland, or result in continuing vulnerability to flood damage.
h activities may include restoring facilities located in a floodplain with eligible age to pre-disaster condition.

President’s Executive Order 11988, Floodplain Management, and ExecuOrder 11990, Protection of Wetlands, requires that all federal actions in or cting the 100-year floodplain or wetland areas be reviewed for opportunities ove the facility out of the floodplain or wetland and to reduce the risk of e damage or loss from flooding and minimize harms to wetlands. However, MA has determined that in certain situations there are no alternatives to oring an eligible facility located in the floodplain to its pre-disaster condition. se situations meet all of the following criteria: The FEMA estimated cost of repairs is less than 50 percent of the estimated cost to replace the facility and the replacement cost of the facility is less than $100,000; The facility is not located in a floodway or coastal high hazard area; The facility has not sustained structural damage in a previous presidentially declared flood disaster or emergency; The facility is not defined as critical (e.g., hospital, generating plant, contains dangerous materials, emergency operation center, etc.).
MA will provide assistance to restore the facilities described above to their disaster condition except when measures to mitigate the effects of future ding may be incorporated into the restoration work. For example, insufficient erway openings under culverts and bridges may cause water backup to h out the structures. The water backup could wash out the facility and d damage other facilities in the area. Increasing the size of the waterway ning would mitigate, or lessen, the potential for this damage. Additional mples of mitigation measures include providing erosion protection at bridge ments or levees, and extending entrance tubes on sewage lift stations.

Additional examples of mitigation measures include providing erosion protection at bridge abutments or levees, and extending entrance tubes on sewage lift stations. Disaster assistance projects to restore facilities, which do not meet the criteria listed above, must undergo a detailed review. The review will include a study to determine if the facility can be moved out of the floodplain. The public is invited to participate in the review. The public may identify alternatives for restoring the facility and may participate in analyzing the impact of the alternatives on the facility and the floodplain. An address and phone number for obtaining information about specific assistance projects is provided at the end of this Ralls Co. Enterprise Notice. New The finalLondon determination regarding the Herald restoration of these facilities in a floodplain be announced in future Public Notices. AdwillCode: FEMA4200 Due to the need2x17 for and/or use of the certain facilities in a floodplain, Adurgent Size: actions to restore the facility may have started before the federal inspector visits the site. Some of these facilities may meet the criteria for a detailed review to determine if they should be relocated. Generally, facilities may be restored in their original location where at least one of the following conditions applies: 1. 2. 3. 4.
The facility, such as a flood control device or bridge, is functionally dependent on its floodplain location; The facility, such as a park or other open-use space, already represent sound floodplain management and, therefore, there is no need to change it; The facility, such as a road or a utility, is an integral part of a larger network that could not be relocated economically; Emergency action is needed to address a threat to public health and safety.
The effects of not relocating the facilities will be examined. In each case, the examination must show an overriding public need for the facility at its original location that clearly outweighed the requirements in the Executive Order to relocate the facility out of the floodplain. FEMA will also consult state and local officials to make certain that no actions taken will violate either state or local floodplain protection standards. The restoration of these facilities may also incorporate certain measures designed to mitigate the effects of future flooding. This will be the only Notice to the public concerning these facilities. The National Historic Preservation Act requires federal agencies to take into account the effects of their undertakings on historic properties. Those actions or activities affecting buildings, structures, districts or objects 50 years or older or that affect archeological sites or undisturbed ground will require further review to determine if the property is eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (Register). If the property is determined to be eligible for the Register, and FEMA’s undertaking will adversely affect it, FEMA will provide additional Public Notices. For historic properties not adversely affected by FEMA’s undertaking, this will be the only Public Notice. FEMA also intends to provide Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) funding under Section 404 of the Stafford Act to the state of Missouri for the purposes of mitigating future disaster damages. Hazard mitigation projects may involve the construction of a new facility (e.g., retention pond, or debris dam), modification of an existing undamaged facility (e.g., improving waterway openings of bridges or culverts), and the relocation of facilities out of the floodplain. Subsequent Notices will provide more specific information as project proposals are developed. Information about assistance projects may be obtained by submitting a written request to the Regional Director, DHS-FEMA Region VII; 9221 Ward Parkway, Suite 300; Kansas City, MO 64114-3372. The information may also be obtained by calling: (816) 283-7060, between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. Comments should be sent in writing to the Regional Director, at the above address, within 15 days of the date of publication of this Notice.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) announced a cut-off date of December 19 to apply for funds through the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP). Funding is available for general EQIP, as well as On-Farm Energy, Seasonal High Tunnel, and Organic initiatives. EQIP helps producers of agricultural products
improve water quality, build healthier soil, improve grazing and forest lands, conserve energy, enhance organic operations, and achieve other environmental benefits. NRCS accepts applications for EQIP on a continuous basis, but producers must file applications by December 19 for the next round of funding. Applications filed after December 19 will be considered in the
next ranking period if funds are available. EQIP offers farmers, ranchers, and forestland managers options to conserve natural resources while boosting production. EQIP provides financial assistance for a variety of conservation activities, such as cover crops, rotational grazing systems, field buffers and animal waste management systems. Farmers and ranchers
can submit applications at local NRCS offices. To find the USDA service center nearest you, look in the telephone directory under, “U.S. Government, Department of Agriculture” or go to this website: http://offices.sc.egov. usda.gov/locator/app?agency=nrcs. NRCS employees in county offices can provide more information about how to apply for benefits offered by NRCS.

COMMUNITY NEWS
Center Elementary Celebrates Moms and Veterans Center Elementary has been a busy place in the past two weeks. Students raised over two hundred dollars with their decorated pumpkin contest, sponsored by the Student Leadership group. The money was given to the Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital. On November 6 students hosted their annual Muffins with Moms.
Before classes began students met with their mothers in the gym for muffins, juice and a little pre-class bonding time. A celebration of Veterans Day was held on November 11. Students presented a skit on the meaning of “veteran.” Afterwards a slide show was shown. Students were asked to bring in military pictures of fam-
ily members who had or currently serve in the military. Their name, rank and years of service were displayed with their pictures. At the assembly’s conclusion each veteran in attendance was called to the stage and given a packet of “mail,” thank you cards written by students.

Navigators Will Serve As Local Resource for New Health Insurance Marketplace Enrollees
Catherine Edwards, executive director of the Missouri Association of Area Agencies on Aging (MA4), today announced that the Missouri Association of Area Agencies on Aging (MA4) is ready to assist Missourians who choose to obtain health insurance through the Health Insurance Marketplace. Open enrollment for the program started November 15, 2014. MA4 was named as an official Health Insurance Marketplace “Navigator” organization for the second straight year by the Department of Health and Human Services earlier this year. MA4 will incorporate its network of Area Agencies on Aging and senior centers throughout the state to help people make informed decisions when choosing among health insurance coverage options offered through the Health Insurance Marketplace. According to Edwards, individuals and small businesses will once again be able to shop for health insurance coverage through the Health
Insurance Marketplace in a variety of ways including online, in-person, by phone and at events and locations established by partner organizations during the open enrollment period. For individuals wishing to explore new insurance options in person MA4 has established eight regional information centers in all parts of the state. Additional events will also be hosted throughout the state during the open enrollment period. Under the Health Insurance Marketplace system, affordable health insurance policies will be offered by multiple private insurance providers with tiered cost options. Coverage cannot be denied due to pre-existing conditions and many preventive health care services are provided under terms of the policies offered in the Marketplace. The system is designed to help currently uninsured Missourians find affordable health insurance options for themselves and their families.
