Cattlemen to Host Banquet & Texas Hold ‘em Tournament 13th Annual Scholarship Dinner to Benefit Local Students

The Macon County Cattlemen will host its 13th Annual Youth Scholarship Banquet on Saturday, February 16, 2013 at 6:00 P.M. The prime rib dinner will be held at the Macon County Expo Center in Macon.

Northeast Missouri businesses, individuals, and organizations will attend this year’s banquet to help raise funds to benefit local youth involved in the beef industry through scholarships and other financial assistance.

Member Aaron Baker explains, “With the money we have been able to raise with the help of local supporters, we have awarded 170 scholarships, totaling more than $96,650 in awards to local high school seniors and current college students. The organization has also

helped sponsor a barbecue at the county fair and assisted with several other youth events through the year.”

In 2013, the Cattlemen plan to provide at least $5,000 in scholarships to local youth in addition to funding other youthorientated activities in Macon County.

Baker also added the continued success of the banquet is due to the enthusiasm of local cattlemen, businesses, and individuals who participate in the auctions, raffle, and other fundraising at the event. “It doesn’t matter if the people attending are directly involved with agriculture, they are always willing to raise money for the kids and have a good time while doing so.”

Over one-hundred items will be raffled or auctioned for both youth and adults. A

year ago, more than 90 Macon County area merchants again helped sponsor this event that grossed more than $15,000.

The Cattlemen are hoping to exceed last year’s record-setting attendance and fundraising efforts.

“We hope this year’s prime rib menu and continued growth in interest will bring at least 300 folks out again this year,” said Baker.

A Texas Hold’em Tournament will follow the steak dinner and short program.

Advanced tickets and raffle tickets are available at Lolli Livestock Market or from any member of the Macon County Cattlemen’s Association. You may also call Frankie Lolli at (660) 385-2516.

Myths Surrounding Vitamin D and Sun Exposure Diet and Vitamin Supplements Provide Safest Sources of Vitamin D The suggestion that the best way to obtain vitamin D is through sun exposure is both misleading and dangerous. Contrary to popular belief, exposure to the sun’s UVB radiation provides limited benefits and leaves people susceptible to the sun’s harmful effects, including an increased risk of skin cancers, premature skin aging and a weakened immune system. The Skin Cancer Foundation recommends obtaining vitamin D – a micronutrient that is essential for strong bones and a healthy immune system – through diet and vitamin supplements.

“The misconception that exposure to UVB radiation is the optimal source of vitamin D puts people at risk for potentially life-threatening skin cancer,” said Perry Robins, MD, President of The Skin Cancer Foundation.

“Furthermore, in most cases the body stops producing vitamin D after just a few minutes of sun exposure.”

About 86 percent of melanomas (the most dangerous form of skin can-

cer) and 90 percent of nonmelanoma skin cancers are associated with exposure to UV radiation. In weighing the benefits against the risks, diet and nutritional supplementation offer safer sources of vitamin D than sun exposure. Below, The Skin Cancer Foundation distinguishes between the myths and facts surrounding vitamin D, sun exposure and tanning: Myth: UVB radiation is a good source of vitamin D. Fact: We can produce only a limited amount of vitamin D from UVB radiation. For Caucasians, that limit is reached after just five to 10 minutes of midday sun exposure. After reaching the limit, further exposure will not increase the amount of vitamin D in the body. Rather, it has the opposite effect: the vitamin D stored in the body begins to break down, leading to lower vitamin D levels.

Myth: Sun exposure is the only source of vitamin D. Fact: Vitamin D can be obtained from oily fish (like salmon, fresh tuna, trout and sardines) and cod liver oil, as well as from fortified orange juice and

milk, yogurts, and some cereals. Supplements are readily available and inexpensive.

Myth: Tanning beds are a healthy option for boosting vitamin D levels.

Fact: The indoor tanning industry often makes the false claim that indoor tanning is helpful for vitamin D production. In reality, vitamin D is received through exposure to UVB rays; the bulbs used in tanning beds mainly emit UVA rays. Tanning beds are a known carcinogen.

Just one indoor UV tanning session increases users’ chances of developing melanoma by 20 percent, and each additional session during the same year boosts the risk almost another two percent.

The Skin Cancer Foundation encourages everyone to incorporate daily sun protection into their lifestyle. This includes seeking shade, covering up with clothing (including wide-brimmed hats and UV-blocking sunglasses) and applying broad spectrum sunscreen every day. For more information about skin cancer prevention and vitamin D, visit SkinCancer.org.

HOMEMADE CHERRY PIES!!!

According to Macon County Ministries, 99% of the foods distributed through its Monthly Food Pantry come from the Food Bank for Central and Northeast Missouri, located in Columbia. Canned foods aren’t usually available in quantities needed to satisfy the monthly needs. So, when the Immaculate Conception School in Macon celebrated their 100th day of school on Wednesday, January 23rd, they held a food drive to collect 100 cans of food for the Macon County Ministries. Each day the kindergarten class counted the cans by 2’s, 5’s, and 10’s to practice their counting skills. The older students counted the cans and then subtracted by 100 to see how many more cans were needed to make 100.

The school collected approx. 130 cans of food to donate. It was definitely a school wide project.

New Course Helps Farm Women Creating a transition plan to make sure a farm continues as a productive, agricultural business can be challenging. University of Missouri Extension and FCS Financial are offering Managing for Today and Tomorrow in Kirksville, MO. The four-session course is for farm women who want to plan now for a successful transition later.

Farm women will learn about business, estate, retirement, and succession planning from Extension specialists and area professionals.

Besides brief presentations, there will be discussions based

on participants' questions and follow-up activities for family members to complete at home.

Karisha Devlin, University of Missouri Extension Agricultural Business Specialist, said, "I know how hard it can be to talk about passing on the farm.

Managing for Today and Tomorrow will teach farm women the terminology and tools to start that conversation or be active participants in it."

Managing for Today and Tomorrow meets from 6 to 9 p.m. on, February 4, 11, 18, 25, and March 11 at the Economic

Development Alliance Center. The address is 315 South Franklin Street.

Participants will receive a 260-page book filled with fact sheets, exercises, and presentations. A light dinner will be served.

Course size is limited, and pre-registration is due by February 1. Managing for Today and Tomorrow is funded by a grant from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture.

For more information and to register, call Knox County Extension at 660-397-2179 or e-mail Karisha Devlin at devlink@missouri.edu.

Discover Nature Girls Camp The Missouri Department of Conservation will be offering its sixth annual Discover Nature Girls Camp. It is a free threeday, two-night girls camp aimed at introducing young ladies ages 11–15 to different outdoors skills in a supportive learning environment. In 2013, the camp will be held June 25, 26, and 27. The camp is held in Monroe County at Mark Twain Lake State Park.

Campers spend three fun filled days learning by participating in a “hands on” hunter education class; shooting firearms and archery equipment, walking through a safety trail and taking the hunter education test.

Throughout the camp, the girls will participate in a variety of outdoor skills such as canoeing, orienteering and fishing.

Campers learn about all aspects of fishing; from

fish identification, casting, tying knots, and cleaning fish, to finally going fishing. This all occurs in a group setting of their peers, being taught by knowledgeable instructors who make participants comfortable and willing to try new things. The camp is limited to 60 girls between the ages of 11 to 15 years old. The first 60 applications received by the Conservation Department’s Northeast Regional Office will be selected to attend.

Applications must be received at the Northeast Regional Office by May 15, 2013.

To apply for Discover Nature Girls Camp, please contact Conservation Agent Matt Bergfield at (573) 673-0009 or the Northeast Regional Office at (660) 785-2420 to request an application form.

COMMENTARY COMMENT

Blonde But Blunt

BY BECKY JEFFCOAT EDITOR/PUBLISHER lpnews@marktwain.net

I’ve been working on my “Valentine” page and have, what I think, are some very special couples to print in next week’s issue. Some of the stories I heard from some of these wonder people are humorous, some sad, some very interesting and some overwhelming. I want to thank them in advance for giving me the opportunity to meet with them and allow me into their lives.

I don’t remember the last time my fingers were so cold that they felt like they were ice cycles and would break if I even barely touched anything, but last Thursday evening was the most recent! We moved the offices in Macon that day from our old location downtown to the new location on Missouri Street and I left my gloves on the receptionist desk at the Innovation Center, realized it, but it was too late, already on my way home. I should of went back for them, but figured I could get by until I got home, where I was sure I had several other pairs.

My daughter, Sara, and her family invited me over for supper and of course I accepted, had been a very long day and I was ready to leave the office and play with my grandson. I pulled the truck into the garage, only to encounter the frozen cold door knob and wasn’t sure I would get it unlocked to get out of the building.

It finally opened and let me out, only to step into the blistery frozen wind, again making my hands so cold I couldn’t feel them.

After I got into the house and warmed up, I began looking for another pair of gloves. Oh I found several gloves, none matching, they are kinda like socks

Snodgrass Selected For Student Ambassadors Program Emily Snodgrass, a junior industrial psychology major from La Plata, is one of 18 Northwest Missouri State University students selected to join the University’s recruiting team next fall as a student ambassador.

As ambassadors, these qualified students embody Northwest’s friendly campus by conducting tours with approximately 2,700 families per year, help facilitate Green and White Visit Days, assist with scholarship and department open house days, and actively participate in Northwest online chats and student blogs.

The Northwest student ambassadors are an integral part in the recruitment of high school and transfer students, and their ability to showcase the campus while discussing the benefits of attending Northwest make a strong impression on families considering the University, Associate Director of Admissions Jeremy Waldeier said.

Applicants are selected after a two-part interview process.

Student ambassadors must go through a trimester-long training program before they are approved to conduct tours on their own.

These campus representatives must maintain a 2.9 grade-point average and may serve as student ambassadors for the duration of their enrollment at Northwest.

“Often the student ambassadors represent the first impression of Northwest for families

I guess, always only one!

So, put two gloves on and headed across the yard to Sara’s house for supper.

I’m not one to care about fashion, and am glad, as my gloves were a mismatch and I didn’t care.

My hands stayed warm all the way over and all the way back home.

This weather makes me wanna shake someone, as I have a feeling that someone upset Mother Nature to her last nerve! Shame on you!! Hopefully warmer weather is on the way, not sure how much more cold my hands can take, and my poor truck! Poor thing just makes the saddest noises, popping and crackling! Even though its in the garage at night, it still needs a flu shot every year. Hurry up SUN!!!

SHEPHERD’S CALL

Judgment

by Dr. H. Wade Paris

and must have knowledge about a wide breadth of topics in order to connect with the range of interest of our prospective students,” Waldeier said.

“The ambassadors must be able to communicate with a wide array of personalities, adapt to the varying conditions while on tour and work to connect on a personal level with each family.

While they are expected to be at their very best each and every time they lead a tour, this is a group of students who truly represent the best of Northwest.”

Northwest’s 90-minute tours are offered weekdays from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. and Sundays from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. For more information about Northwest or to schedule a tour, visit www.nwmissouri. edu/admissions/ or call 800.633.1175.

The NCAA threatened to sanction a Missouri coach, claiming he acted improperly at another school. Speculation about consequences to him, the school, and the team ran wild. All kinds of serious punishments were suggested. The NCAA position is that coaches and schools should not break the rules, and they must be punished if they do. It’s called judgment.

But wait! Someone blew the whistle on the NCAA. They have been doing a bit of rule breaking themselves. They used illegally gained information to charge previous offenders. To their credit, on learning of their own misconduct (or maybe on being thus exposed) the NCAA backed down.

They admitted they were in no position to judge others for breaking rules when they had done so themselves.

As sad as it is, this debacle contains a spiritual truth. Few of us are in a position to judge others.

We are all sinners; and when we judge others, we imply their sin is worse than ours. Once again, I remember a ditty I learned in grade school, “Teacher, teacher, don’t punish me.

Punish that boy behind the tree. He stole money; I

just stole honey. Teacher, teacher, don’t punish me.”

Judging others presents problems. For one thing, judging others makes us think more highly of ourselves than we ought. It makes us arrogant. Judging others tends to make us exclusive. An acquaintance refuses to befriend people who do not speak English. His reason—if they want to live here, they should learn our language. It is a judgment. I wonder if he would learn their language if he were in their country.

Perhaps the worst thing about judging is we also want to impose punishment. “They should throw the book at him, put him under the jail, lock ‘em up and throw away the key. “ Jesus warned us about such an attitude. He said, “Judge not . . . with the same judgment you will be judged.” (Matthew 7:1ff)) Then again, pronouncing punishment is often influenced by our desire for vengeance. “You hurt me, so I’m gonna’ hurt you.”

Here again, the Bible has a word for us, “Vengeance is mine, says the Lord.”

(Romans 12:19) No doubt, you can find exceptions to these comments; therefore, may I suggest we let Jesus be our guide, “Judge not.”

Poor People?

GOOOOOOD MORNING Thomas Hill Lake!

So many changes have come to my lady’s land this week, hard to believe that it was in the 60’s & 70’s first part of this week in January! Sunshine was plentiful on the deck as I sat watching and listening, the familiar call of the geese, ducks and birds was in abundance on these warm days! What a joy it was after all the winter gloom to see and hear all the sounds of spring approaching, but alas it was a “BIG” tease from Mother Nature! Even tho’ the tease, it was a delight to be on the deck again seeing and hearing nature at it’s best and soaking up some much needed vitamin D! The warm rains flooded the “babbling brook” and over took some of the yard, everything seemed to come so alive those two beautiful days, the squirrels scurried around, the birds chirped happy sounds and the ducks & geese on the lake sounded very content. The “child” in me couldn’t help but stand in the rain for a bit, smile at the skies and truly appreciate what surrounds me and all that I have been given. I am very thankful for those pretty days, short lived as they were, now reality of January has sunk in again and it’s colder than blue blazes! We have all heard this before, but I will say it again, if you don’t like the weather stick around......it will change! I know that spring has to be right around the corner, I see the changes and feel it’s presence getting closer.....fingers crossed!

I was approached with a job offering which I jumped on.......I will now be a sales representative for the Home Press. Think about it.... it’s sales, talking and visiting with people that I know and have known for years, this I am looking forward to very much. After being retired for seven years, I again have the opportunity to get back out and about and do what I love doing the best...

TALKING, SELLING & HELPING! So Macon, Bevier, Callao, Atlanta & Economy, be for warned.....I’m coming to see you!

Until next time....remember it’s the little things that mean the most, take time to enjoy!

As Always, Love & Hugs from the lake......Connie

Better Late Than Never When It Comes To Winterizing Your Car The last thing any driver needs is a vehicle that breaks down in cold, harsh winter weather. It’s not too late to have your vehicle checked, saving you from the cost and hassle of unexpected emergency repairs when severe weather strikes.

Battery - Keep the battery connections clean, tight and corrosion-free.

Batteries don't always give warning signs before they fail completely so it’s wise to replace batteries that are more than three years old.

Antifreeze - Antifreeze (coolant) should be flushed and refilled at least every two years in most vehicles. As a reminder, do not add 100 percent antifreeze as full-strength antifreeze actually has a lower freeze point than

when mixed with water.

Brakes - Have the brakes checked. The braking system is the vehicle’s most important safety item and is key while driving on icy or snow-covered roads.

Tires - Check the tire tread depth and tire pressure. If snow and ice are a problem in your area, consider special tires designed to grip slick roads. During winter, tire pressure should be checked weekly as tires will lose pressure when temperatures drop.

Oil - Be diligent about changing the oil and filter at recommended intervals.

Dirty oil can spell trouble in winter. Consider changing to low-viscosity oil in winter, as it will flow more easily between moving parts when cold.

Wiper Blades - Cold weather can affect the life of windshield wipers. Wiper blades that are cracked or torn, or that chatter, streak and don’t properly clean your windshield, should be changed.

Check the windshield washer reservoir in case it needs fluid.

Be sure to keep your vehicle’s gas tank at least half full as that decreases the chances of moisture forming in the gas lines and possibly freezing. If you’re due for a tune-up, consider having it done as winter weather magnifies existing problems such as pings, hard starts, sluggish performance or rough idling. To help you drive smart and save money

Cut To The Chase

A Green Mindset We recycle paper at our office. Estil Fretwell, the director of public affairs at Missouri Farm Bureau, recently had an epiphany.

He went to the filing cabinet where we keep old file folders for reuse, to reuse one yet again, when he realized that he had never grabbed a new folder in his 26 years of employment at Farm Bureau. I questioned him on that.

Surely, in all that time, he has grabbed a new one at least once. However, he does reuse file folders often; it’s a habit-a good one-a green one. In 2013, farmers’ markets will be a hot trend in being green.

It is one of many ways to go green. These markets are great places for fresh produce, some of which is local. Unfortunately, not all residents in Missouri have access them. Perhaps you grow your own vegetables; maybe you grow food to be sold at market and beyond. What do you do that’s green? Do you compost? Do you use no-till planting or terracing practices for soil and water conservation like many farmers in the state?

Do you soil test your garden plot to make sure you don’t over-fertilize it, like farmers do on their crop fields? So how green can you be in 2013? What changes will you make?

What do you plan to do more or less of? It takes forethought. It’s a mindset-a lifestyle we need to adopt, like the woman in the Facebook post and like Estil’s folders. Let’s face it; we could all be greener, unless, of course, you’re Kermit.

By Rebecca French Smith To quote a famous amphibian, “It ain’t easy being green.” But being “green” in today’s society should be easier than ever with all the products and services here to help us.

Oh, but that pesky human factor creeps in. It’s called laziness, and I am no exception. It takes some forethought to be green. I recently saw a Facebook post (one I’ve seen before, so it has made the rounds) in which an elderly woman is checking out at the grocery store. The clerk makes a comment about the woman not having eco-friendly reusable grocery bags, and goes on to say, her generation didn’t care enough to take care of the environment. The woman apologizes and says she didn’t have the “green” thing back in her day. Back in her day, she didn’t have eco-friendly and green convenience products, but she returned milk and soda bottles to the store to be sanitized and reused by the bottler.

She walked to the store a couple of blocks away instead of driving. She washed the baby diapers because she didn’t have disposable diapers. She lists several scenarios that were a part of everyday life for her that, oh, by the way, were green and ecofriendly. No forethought required. Whether or not the story is true, there is truth in its message.

It made me think. What do we do every day that could impact the earth in a positive way? What little things can we do in addition to recycling plastic and paper when we can?

Holds Investors Luncheon

Macon County Economic Development held their third Annual Investors Luncheon on Friday, January 25, 2013 at Macon Comfort Inn. Over 60 local investors attended this event to celebrate Macon County and successful economic development projects through the years.

Macon County Economic Development Board President, Kevin Butner welcomed the group and introduced the Junior Achievement team. These young entrepreneurs provided a presentation of their company and products to the group. Following the JA presentation, Kevin provided the President’s message and shared a little of the history of economic development and how projects such as Long Branch Lake, Highways 63 and 36 and the Heartland Industrial Park continue to benefit our community today.

Macon County Economic Development Director, Denise Bennett, shared that Economic Development is not and will never be a one man show and gives credit to her Board of Directors, which for 2013 include: President Kevin Butner, Allan Muncy, Greg Gabriel, Ed Powers, Charles Stockton, Stephanie Wilson, Curt McLeland, Gerri Hayes, Deanne Hackman, David Brown and secretary Connie Kuhman for supporting and assisting in these efforts. Denise also stated that “having exceptional City, Utility and County leadership, community partners, local businesses and our local investors in Economic Development is critical to our long-term success. The support of our Investors ensures we are able to continue to provide necessary programs and services to help businesses reach their full potential.” Bennett encouraged everyone to read through the Annual Report to learn more about 2012 activities, projects, grants and loans.

Mr. Muncy’s speech was quite moving and is included in the press release.

Two Innovation Center Café Members, Brad Weldon and Ryan Eidson, shared their experience of utilizing the café and support services.

Dinner concluded with presentation of Certificates of Appreciation for Investors contributing $1000+. Annual investment letters will go out to businesses and supporters following the luncheon.

Economic Development

by Allan Muncy To be honest, my first reaction to describe economic development is tell you that it’s kind of like trying to sell ocean front property in the middle of Kansas. Economic development is not a thing that you can touch, feel or see.

You cannot eat it, hear it or drink it. So if it is not a tangible product how in the world can you sell it? Well welcome to life in economic development.

Most communities try to hire the best possible person to be the director of economic development, and they choose the best leaders in the community, to comprise a board to give that director support and guidance. Now this director that has been chosen has to be willing to work hard to find leads, gather data and attend meetings, day after day, and night after night. They often have to be the monitor between the client and the community and they have to have thick skin, to cope with the rejections and the failures and the public scrutiny for not landing the next fortune five hundred company. All this, and remember they are selling something that by most standards just does not exist.

So in my opinion, economic development isn’t

a thing or an item, it is a cause. To me the cause of economic development is to try and enhance the quality of life, for everyone in the region. The cause is to help the unemployed become employed, to help the under employed find better paying jobs, and to help educate our youth, and provide them opportunities right here at home to help establish their careers.

Now this cause of economic development is just too big for one person, or one board, to accomplish by themselves. It takes a community, it takes leadership from community leaders, and it takes the present of mind from everyone in our area, that they too, in many ways, play a part in the cause, we call economic development.

To sell this cause you need everyone to project a positive outlook, to lay down any jealousy they might have towards someone else’s success, and understand there are going to be failures, along with the successes. We need to be aware of our surroundings, whether we are at the local coffee shop, restaurant or sports activity, we need to discuss the positives of our community, and not dwell

on the negatives. This is important because you never know when the next Bill Gates, might be sitting right behind you, and what you say, be it truth or just a rumor might influence that person’s decision to or not to invest in our community.

The soul, now I am talking about the soul, the nucleus of economic development is not brick and mortar, it is not roads, it is not infrastructure, it’s the cause that makes outsiders feel at home, it’s the cause that makes them want to invest in your communities, and it’s the cause that makes them want to jump on the band wagon of success with us.

A community united to move forward, a community that remains positive, and a community that strives to help others achieve success, as they do their own, that is the cause I call economic development.

This nucleus, this cause, has served us well through these rough economic times. I as a board member, as a representative of the City of Macon and as a citizen of this wonderful community, urge you to continue your support of this cause we call economic development. www.teresasbridalboutique.com
