BEVIER PTO CARNIVAL
Sunday Fire Destroys Bevier Home A Sunday evening fire destroyed the home of Jeff Scheel at 25876 Hoyle Place in Bevier. Jeff made the call at about 8:14 Sunday evening when he found the fire. “I am very impressed with the response of the fire department, there were two here within 5 minutes and were spraying water within 10 min.” stated Jeff. As Jeff was in the shower getting ready for work, he walked out to find his living room couch on fire. He tried putting it out, but it was spreading too fast and
he decided to make the call. It is believed the cat knocked over a lamp and caught fire. Jeff’s home was a total loss, but he is very thankful he was the only one at home at the time. “There have already been people here to help and are putting me up in a motel”. Jeff was very impressed with the fire departments and all that showed up in a very fast time. “There were about 40 responders and were all very professional”. stated Jeff.
MARTIE RETIRES AFTER 31 YEARS

Callao Christian Church held a ground breaking on Sunday, September 30th at the future site of the Family Life Center. The Church purchased a lot just north of the church and plans are under way to have the new facility up and running by the end of the year. The new building will be a 9600 Sq. Ft. steel constructed, handicapped accessible building and will house 5 large classrooms, a stage for performances, full kitchen, men and women’s bathrooms with showers and a JR
sized gymnasium. There will be 2 levels of classrooms and an auto visual booth as well. Darrel Swafford, the churches minster, states they are planning to use the new facility for many things. “We are planning on having schedules for out fall party, Neewollah, Town Christmas Party, Youth Groups as well as it being the polling place for the community”. “We are expecting to host the 4-H Club and Volunteer Fire Dept. events.” The building may be rented by the community
for approved events. The original church was built in 1889 and was struck by lightning in 1939 and burned. After the church was rebuilt in 1940 the education wing was added in 1958 and in 1994 the auditorium and seating was built. The Callao Christian Church offers a wide range of worship including Sunday school and JR Worship for the youth.

We Need a Strong Military (from 2012 Republican Party Platform)
The Republican Party is the advocate for a strong National defense as the pathway to peace, economicprosperity, and the protection of those yearning to be free. Since the end of World War II, American militarysuperiority has been the cornerstone of a strategy that seeks to deter aggression or defeat those who threaten our national security interests. In 1981, President Reagan came to office with an agenda of strong American leadership, beginning with a restoration of our country’s military strength. The rest is history, written in the rubble of the Berlin Wall and the Iron Curtain. We face a similar challenge today. The current Administration has responded with weakness to some of the gravest threats to our national security this country has faced, including the proliferation of transnational terrorism, continued belligerence by a nuclear-armed North Korea, an Iran in pursuit of nuclear weapons, rising Chinese influence in the Asia Pacific region, Russian activism, and threats from cyber espionage and terrorism. In response to these growing threats, President Obama has reduced the defense budget by over $487 billion over the next decade and fought Republican efforts to avoid another $500 billion in automatic budget cuts in early 2013 that will take a meat ax to all major defense programs. In a world of threats of terrorism and nuclear attacks, what will keep us safe and a world leader? A Strong Military. It is time for a change in leadership!

LEGION RIDERS PARTICIPATE IN PECAN FESTIVAL
Imogene Warren Imogene Warren, age 100 of Olathe, Kansas and formerly of the Kansas City area passed away Sunday (August 12, 2012) at Aberdeen Village in Olathe, Kansas. Imogene was born August 7, 1912 in Atlanta (Macon County), Missouri the daughter of Raymond and Eunice (Atterberry) Snow. On September 24, 1939 at Kansas City, Missouri she was united in marriage to Glenn Richard Warren, who preceded her in death on June 23, 1989. She was also preceded in death by a brother, A.L. Snow and a sister, Harriet Snow Schorer. Imogene was a graduate of St. Joseph High School, St. Joseph Junior College and Huff Business College. Survivors include her children, Don R. Warren, Anne K. Warren and Ellen L. Duffield and their families, including six grandchildren, five greatgrandchildren, her brother, Charles B. Snow, many nieces, nephews and cousins. To celebrate her 100th birthday, Imogene greeted over 300 party guests and even danced with her “baby” brother. A few days later, on August 12, 2012, her final wish was fulfilled when she transitioned peacefully. The family honors her completion of life “Imogene Style” and according to her wishes, will not hold a memorial service. A generous personality, love of adventure, and positive outlook defined Imogene. She was energetic, highly creative and encouraged people to be and do their best. She expanded the experience of life for all who knew her and leaves a legacy of joy. In her memory, may you nurture joy in your heart, your family, your community and our world. Imogene served as a 4-H leader, “Rodeo Kid” mom, school and church supporter. Her membership at Wornall Road Church spanned eight decades. She was a member of DAR and hosted an AFS International exchange student for a year. Her love of travel and people took her around the world and her love of family took her cross-country treks to stay connected with kids and grandkids. Interment of her cremains will take place at 2:30 p.m. on Saturday (October 20, 2012) at Mt. Tabor Cemetery, east of Atlanta, Missouri. Her son, Don Warren, will officiate the service. Elliott Funeral Home of Atlanta is in charge of arrangements. elliottfunerals.com

American Legion Installs New Officers The American Legion and Auxiliary of La Plata Post #282 met September 26, 2012 at 7:00 p.m. at the Legion Hall for installation of officers and meeting was called to order by Commander George Ritenour. Opening prayer was said by Chaplain John Becker followed by Pledges to the Flag and Preamble in unison,
The Sanctity and Dignity of Human Life (from 2012 Republican Party Platform)
Faithful to the “self-evident” truths enshrined in the Declaration of Independence, we assert the sanctityof human life and affirm that the unborn child has a fundamental individual right to life which cannot be infringed. We support a human life amendment to the Constitution and endorse legislation to make clear that the Fourteenth Amendment’s protections apply to unborn children. We oppose using public revenues to promote or perform abortion or fund organizations which perform or advocate it and will not fund or subsidize health care which includes abortion coverage. We oppose the nonconsensual withholding or withdrawal of care or treatment, including food and water, from people with disabilities, including newborns, as well as the elderly and infirm, just as we oppose active and passive euthanasia and assisted suicide. Republican leadership has led the effort to prohibit the barbaric practice of partial-birth abortion (a kind of late term abortion). We urge Congress to strengthen the Born Alive Infant Protection Act by enacting appropriate civil and criminal penalties on healthcare providers who fail to provide treatment and care to an infant who survives an abortion, including early induction delivery( late term abortions) where the death of the infant is intended. We call for legislation to ban sex-selective Abortionsgender discrimination in its most lethal form and to protect from abortion unborn children who are capable of feeling pain. We call for a ban on the use of body parts from aborted fetuses for research. We support and applaud adult stem cell research to develop lifesaving therapies, and we oppose the killing of embryos for their stem cells. We seek to protect young girls from exploitation through a parental consent requirement; and we affirm our moral obligation to assist, rather than penalize, women challenged by an unplanned pregnancy. We salute those who provide them with counseling and adoption alternatives and empower them to choose life, and we take comfort in the tremendous increase in adoptions that has followed Republican legislative initiatives.

Winkie’s Wisdom
Question:
I was a bit "wild" back in the day, and now have some things on my criminal record I'd like to clear. Is it possible?
Answer: Good news and bad news....traditionally, Missouri had a very tough expungement criteria for most crimes, but had a somewhat easier expungement criteria for old first-time DWI cases. However, new laws out of Jefferson City that went into effect at the end of August, 2012, now make it possible to more easily expunge felony or misdemeanor cases involving bad checks or fraudulent use of credit devices, as well as misdemeanor cases of negligently setting a fire, tampering in the second degree (aka "joyriding"), property damage, trespass, gambling, peace disturbances, and certain public drunkenness offenses. The down side is that the new list is still relatively slim, there is still a requirement that the convictions are at least a decade old (or older) and that no new offenses have occurred, and--of course--it will involve having to file paperwork with the court, obtaining service on several government entities, and having a hearing to convince the court to do it. (see House Bill 1647 for more information)

COMMENTARY COMMENT
WHERE’S JOSHUA?
Blonde But Blunt BY BECKY JEFFCOAT EDITOR/PUBLISHER NORTH EDITION lpnews@marktwain.net
Great paper huh? This has been a couple of very busy weeks in my office. Hustling to get you news, sports information, local happenings and selling advertising is just some of it. We also have lives away from the office if we find time. LOL I received a call today from the Brashear Cheerleaders asking if I would judge a coloring contest as part of their Halloween Party Fundraiser on the 28th. Of course I said “yes”. Should be a lot of fun and of course picture opps for the paper. But, the paper set aside, I’m honored and thrilled to have been asked and promise to do my best at judging inside and outside the lines, so to speak. Hehe! Halloween never was one of my favorite holidays. I’m just a big chicken poopie and get scared easily. I know they are just costumes, but it’s the big kids (like my age) that scare me. I hate it when they jump out from behind cars or buildings to scare you. Makes my pacemaker jump a couple beats. Dang those jokesters! But this Halloween I’ve taken on a shift at the ER window at the hospital (my other job), so I won’t see many young ones. I always have several stop by the house for candy and there are a select few that I get extra goodies for, but not this year.
Sorry kiddos. What I’m gonna miss most is my granddaughters first Halloween, but her momma is working as well, and at only 7 months, she won’t even know she missed it, but we’ll dress her up early and take some pictures anyway. Randy, my right hand man here in the office, has purchased Quinci Jo a little caterpillar outfit, its so adorable, hope it fits. See, there’s not to many of us spoiling her. LOL I remember one of those teenager Halloweens when the Klu Klux Klan came to town, oh what a night. Things were thrown at that white hearse that I wouldn’t even imagine throwing. I’m assuming that clan of people still exist, but I haven’t seen them around in awhile. Probably right under my eyes and I don’t even know it. I hope not. Halloween just isn’t what it used to be when I was a kid around here anymore, well, maybe it is and they are just better at sneaking around than we were. I remember that old red duster of Brenda Coffelts, oh good grief, when we got home that year after being down town, you couldn’t see the red paint or black vinyl roof under all the eggs, tomatoes and whatever else was traveling through the air that night. Oh, what we did when we were young. I couldn’t throw an egg hard enough now to crack it, little lone, bust it on a windshield. But it was all in good harmless fun, well unless the KKK were in
JEFFCOAT town, then it was “game on”. LOL And let’s not forget the airplane in the park. I wonder just how many kids it took to roll it into the city street. It happened about every year. I guess the police just never could catch those guys. Oh, don’t worry, the statute of limitations is over now, so you won’t get in trouble, but I know who you are. LOL Just a warning to some of you….. Be sure to bring your pumpkins in when you go to bed, they seem to get lost in the middle of the night around this time of year, and if you want anymore tomatoes or veggies out of your garden, you’d better get on it. Gardens might be cleaned out on the morning of November 1st. But have fun, be careful and don’t eat too much candy!! If you do, you might just be seeing me behind that window in the ER entryway. LOL Keep It Kool, Bec

Ok, who ordered the cold? I love the Fall as I’m sure you are sick of hearing, but it is just a little cold at night! And yes, our heat is already on in the house. Every year my husband and I never agree on when we need to turn the heat or air on. I usually hold out longer, but when he turned the heat on this year I didn’t complain. It’s getting that time of year when all the guys start discussing where they are going to shoot that big “Mutual of Omaha” buck. All the stands are up and the deer cabin will be cleaned out and set up soon. In the past, I’ve always made the jerky and summer sausage at home, but I haven’t had the time since 2005. My son is already asking if I can make the jerky this year. Actually, I secretly hope they don’t get anything each year. I hate getting my oven dirty making jerky and I do not like deer meat! I love it when someone, everyone, tells me “oh you need to try deer when I fix it”. Or my favorite, “The way we
cook deer you can’t tell the difference from beef”. Well, I am here to tell you, I can. I have tasted and spit out more deer than anyone I know. I will give credit to a very good friend of mine, Korina. About 10 years or so ago, she made dinner when we were over and it was deer. I have to admit it was good so in that particular case I did like deer meat. Deer season is one weekend I get to enjoy! I make up a huge pot of veggie soup and a pot of chili to take to the camp then at night I get the bed all to myself! Problem is they just don’t hunt like they used to. By noon (or before) they are all back in my house sacked out in my way! What happened to staying out and not coming in until dark? I never will forget when Wade and I were first married. All the guys would stay and camp on Friday and Saturday night. The guys thought I was a horrible wife because Wade wouldn’t stay out there the whole time or he would come home and sleep then go back out the next morning. I never knew it, but I guess I was the excuse used until he got caught! I can think of
LIEBHART a few other times he used me as an excuse not to do something, so for the record “I’m not the stick in the mud”!

FROM THE DESK OF THE WORSHIP CENTER
THE SHEPHERD CALLS
Bearing Reality
When The Enemy Comes In Jesus promised when the enemy comes in like a flood He would raise up a standard against him and His law would prevail. It is not “if” the enemy comes in, rather “when” the enemy comes in. This is a Spiritual battle and it must be fought along spiritual lines. It is not fought with intellect, finances, or muscle. It is a battle of the mind and the soul of man. Paul said he fought every day with the flesh and spirit. The old Indian said it was like a black dog and a white dog fighting inside of him. He said the winner was the dog he feed the most. God said to the King of Israel “Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle [is] not yours, but God’s. When God leads us in our battles we have a commander who is a fierce champion, having never lost a battle. He asked that we cast our cares on him. Oh what needless pain we bear, all because we do not carry everything to him in prayer. David said, “I come against you in the name of the living God of Israel”. When we battle in the name of Jesus we are never out manned, or outgunned. We have the edge, because all of the heavenly battalion is fighting for us. Jesus quieted the storm by speaking to it only. Israel was watered from a cloud no larger than a man’s hand. Jesus fed three thousand from one boy’s sack lunch. And He wants to represent you. When it’s too hard, too big, too many, or too long it’s just right for the Father. When the situation causes us to turn to God, it is a good situation. Ron Thomason Pastor of the Worship Center
When I was a boy, my Dad taught me a song about a preacher and a bear. “A preacher went a’huntin’, all on one Sunday morn. He knew it was against his religion, but he took his gun along” The song continues with the preacher climbing a tree to escape the bear and praying for God’s help. The lyrics of the song always sounded unlikely to me until I read the latest issue of Missouri Conservation magazine. Daron Wilkins was bow hunting atop a 20-foot deer stand. Wilkins had watched a bear in the field for several minutes. His enjoyment was cut short, when the hungry bear started up his tree. Wilkins said seeing the bear was exciting; but when the bear came within arms’ length, his excitement turned to fear. Reality often changes excitement to fear. Facing reality can be daunting. For instance, temptation is often exciting; but succumbing to temptation can be tragic. A late parishioner told me he was excited when he smoked his first cigarette. He said, “I thought it made me grown. I blew smoke in the face of those who warned me against it. Now,” he continued, “I have cancer and must have half of my lungs removed.” On the other hand, excitement can be good. I was excited about learning to fly. It is difficult to explain my exhilaration when the wheels of the plane left the runway on my first solo flight. Reality quickly set in as I realized now I had to land that plane alone. Still, I reasoned, learning to fly will open some rewarding doors for me. I must do it. Some excitement leads to positive reality, and some excitement leads to ruinous reality. In reality, you must make many choices. Jesus explained this by saying there is a broad way and a narrow way, and we must regularly choose which way to go. Before you choose, ask yourself: Will the reality of my choice be positive, or am I inviting a bear up my tree? Dr. H. Wade Paris

Scott Receives MSTA Endorsement Diana Scott recently received the endorsement of the Missouri State Teachers Association in her bid to represent the 6th District in the Missouri House of Representatives. MSTA concluded that Scott is a pro-education candidate that the voters can enthusiastically support. According to Krista Meyer, Political Action Manager, “Scott’s opinions on critical issues demonstrate a commitment to maintaining and improving education in Missouri”. MSTA is Missouri’s largest education association, representing over 44,000 members, with active and retired teachers in all of the school districts of the 6th District, including Macon, Randolph and Linn Counties. The public schools of these counties not only provide opportunities for students, but an educated
workforce for our businesses and are drivers of a strong rural economy. Funding public education in Missouri is the second priority of the state legislature, second only to meeting the state’s bonding obligations, according to the Constitution. Education issues from funding the public school foundation formula and maintaining the current strong public school retirement systems to ensuring quality programs and opportunity for every Missouri student take up a huge part of the time legislators spend in Jefferson City. Diana Scott has committed to ensuring that all children in the 6th district have the opportunity for a top-notch education which prepares them for higher education, the jobs of the future and to be productive members of society.

Dr. Gary Snowder, University of Nevada-Reno (UNR), will be on hand to discuss “Genetic Factors Influencing Pinkeye Susceptibility.” Dr. Snowder is an internationally renowned researcher on the subject and prior to his position at UNR, he did work at USDA’s Meat Animal Research Center in Clay Center, Nebraska as well as leading research at the U.

COMMUNITY NEWS National Teen Driver Safety Week Oct. 14-20
Pack Ministries Presents: “Eternity”
LEAPIN’ LIZARDS
Fall is an extremely busy time for teenagers. Unfortunately though, too many teens get caught up in the hustle and bustle and aren’t buckling up when they get behind the wheel or ride with others in motor vehicles. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, motor vehicle crashes are the number one cause of fatalities among 16- to 20-year olds in the United States. In 2011 there were 81 teen vehicle occupants killed in Missouri traffic crashes, with 79 percent being unbelted. Eighteen percent of the unbelted teens who were killed were teen impaired drivers. Teen drivers are more likely to drive distracted or substance-impaired than other drivers. Under Missouri law, drivers age 21 and under are banned from texting while driving, and can be fined up to $200 for this offense. Missouri also has a Zero Tolerance Law. If you are under 21, your license will be suspended if you’re caught driving with even a trace of alcohol in your system. So as you head out to those fun fall festivities, please remember these simple safe driving tips: Keep distractions to a minimum. Obey the laws of the road. Never drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Buckle Up. It’s your best defense in any automobile accident.
The Christian Worship Center located at 30046 Lake St. in Macon, Mo will be hosting a stunning presentation of the Christian drama “Eternity”. The presentation will be held on Saturday, November 10th and Sunday, November 11th at 7:00 pm This play will take you on a journey to Heaven and Hell. You will see the joyful saints in Heaven in white robes and crowns, reunited with loved ones and praising God. There will be many beautiful angels, the living creatures (the lion, ox, man and eagle), the lamb taking the scroll and of course God upon His throne. Next comes the dreaded entrance of Lucifer and the unbelievers, whereupon judgment will be given and Hell waiting. Evangelist Aaron and Jeanette Pack have been in Christian drama for 30 years. They have traveled to present their drama revivals for 19 years. They have presented Christian drama hundreds of times. Rev. Ron Thomason, pastor of the Christian Worship Center, invites you to join in these nights of drama revival. What a great way to spend an evening enjoying a spiritual reaffirmation of your faith. The program begins at 7:00 pm and is free of charge. The Christian Worship Center is located ½ mile west on Lake Street on the south side of the road. For more information contact the Christian Worship Center at (660)385-5698.

Charley Stow opened Hawg Father’s BBQ in June 2011 and is quite proud they are still doing great business after 15 months. Owner of Thieman’s Florist for 30 years, and the car lot next door he decided he wanted to do something different.

He says he does most of the cooking when he can because he “likes to eat and wants people to have a good experience.” Hawg Father’s BBQ sauce will soon be available in bottles for sale at the restaurant.

Domestic Energy Independence: Coal is a low-cost and abundant energy source with hundreds of years of supply . Republicans look toward the private sector's development of new, state-of-the-art coal-fired plants that will be low-cost, environmentally responsible, and efficient. Republicans also encourage research and development of advanced technologies in this sector, including coal-to-liquid, coal gasification, and related technologies for enhanced oil recover. The current Administration-with a President who publicly threatened to bankrupt anyone who builds a coal-powered plant seems determined to shut down coal production in the United States, even though there is no cost-effective substitute for it or for the hundreds of thousands of jobs that go with it as the nation's largest source of electricity generation. Republicans will end the EPA's war on coal and encourage the increased safe development in all regions of the nation's coal resources, the jobs it produces, and the affordable, reliable energy that it provides for America. Further, we oppose any and all cap and trade legislation. The current President personally blocked on the most important energy and jobs projects in years. The Keystone XL Pipeline-which would have brought much needed Canadian and American oil to u.S. refineries-would create thousands of jobs. The current President's job-killing combination of extremism and ineptitude threatens to create a permanent energy shortage. RepUblicans are committed to approving the Keystone XL Pipeline and to streamlining permitting for the development of other oil and natural gas pipelines.

PROGRESS When you come to the United Methodist Church’s annual election day bazaar and dinner you are sure to be impressed. The basement’s original woodwork has been completely re done and is back to its original luster. Pocket doors replaced the two windows going into the kitchen and the walls are all brand new. Quite an undertaking and a very impressive change. The restoration project at the Assembly of God basement is nearing completion. It was mentioned a couple of months ago how a broken pipe had flooded the entire basement and was just a mess. Many hours of labor have changed the mess into a beautiful new basement area. The Sunday School class rooms, the dining room and kitchen as well as an enlarged and modernized rest room are nearing completion. As for city progress here is what is happening: the new red and white street signs are sure to attract positive comment. October 9th the APAC crew moved in and when they left late afternoon we had $58,000.00 worth of asphalt on the streets that
needed attention. This was done and paid for before winter sets in. COMPANY Labe and Janie (Brownlee) Mendelsohn from Urbandale, Iowa were in the area recently visiting family and friends. They were fortunate to be here in time for the Marceline Homecoming Parade. Janie attended Marceline School, a member of the class of 1962. Ed and Jean Still from Marceline were Sunday dinner guests in the home of Kevin and Kim Souther in Ethel. ODDS ‘N ENDS Remember breakfast Saturday morning, October 20th, at the Legion Hall. Serving from 8 a m till the gravy is gone. Free will donation and all are welcome. Fried Green Tomatoes! The calls and emails were so welcome. Last week the appeal was for a good fried green tomato recipe. According to the majority of calls the best thing is the simplest. Slice, roll in flour, salt and pepper and fry in either cooking oil or even better bacon drippings. Enjoy. Thanks to all who responded. Randy West informed me he is about out of the kid business.

Debt and Spending The Treasury Department reported Sept 4, 2012 that the US national debt had topped $16 trillion. The nation owed $10.6 trillion on Jan. 20, 2009,when Obama took office, and he has added another $5.4 trillion since – more than at any time in our history. We have squandered the gifts of our grandparents, leaving a crushing burden of debt on our children Is this an economic crisis or a moral crisis? As we look at the record; it is safe to say that excessive debt has become a national security crisis at the very least. We need look no further than evening news to see the effects of run-away spending and debt; Greece, Spain; riots in the streets. Is that where we‘re headed? Look at the record and decide for yourself.

The Second Amendment: Our Right to Keep and Bear Arms We uphold the right of individuals to keep and bear arms, a right which antedated the Constitution and was solemnly confirmed by the Second Amendment. We acknowledge, support, and defend the law-abiding citizen's God-given right of self-defense. We call for the protections of such fundamental individual rights recognized in the Supreme Court's decisions in District of Columbia v. Heller and McDonald v. Chicago affirming that right. and we recognize the individual responsibility to safely use and store firearms. This also includes the right to obtain and store ammunition without registration. We support the fundamental right to self-defense wherever a law-abiding citizen has a legal right to be, and we support the federal legislation that would expand the exercise of that right by allowing those with state-issued cany permits to cany firearms in any state that issues such permits to its own residents. Gun ownership is responsible citizenship, enabling Americans to defend their homes and communities.

COMMUNITY NEWS CITY REPAIRS
Heartland Headlines by Kathy Nickerson
My husband and I are enjoying a visit from some granddaughters this week, and the first thing we had to do was go to the local zoo. Camels, zebras, and kangaroos are not the usual animals to find in the middle of Missouri cornfields. Here at Heartland, we have those long with African cattle called Watusi, a couple of peacocks, and some exotic pheasants. One reason we have exotic animals is to entertain the visitors who
come to take tours or to visit a relative in one of our recovery programs. We also like to remind people that God created an amazing world. Many people in our community have struggled with lifecontrolling issues and have never experienced the simple pleasure of watching a camel stroll across the field. It may not be a normal, country thing to do. But it sure is fun.
When traveling through Macon take extra caution as you may see may city employees out making utility and road improvements.

The Best Fishing Spots For You by Tresa Erickson You haven’t been fishing in years, but now that you’re retired, you’re looking forward to spending many a day fishing by the bank. You’ve heard there are some good places to fish nearby, but you’re going to have to see for yourself. Let the search for the perfect fishin’ holes begin. Because you plan to fish often, you will definitely want to restrict your search to the local area. What’s the point in spending more hours in the car than at the fishin’ hole? You will also want to determine the type of fish you’re after. Why check out catfish locales if you’re after trout Once you have an idea where you want to go, you can start making a list of potential spots. Write down all of the good ones you’ve heard about and ask friends and family for recommendations. Stop in at your local marinas and bait and tackle shops and ask around. The staff and clientele
C Y
M K
there should know about all of the local fishing spots as well as the conditions at them. Should you come up short, don’t despair. There are other resources. Check with the public relations department
at your state fish and wildlife agency. Conduct a search on the Web. Chances are you will come across many blogs, message boards and the like discussing the best local fishing spots. If all else
fails, get a map of your area and start checking out all of the lakes, rivers and streams. Rank the spots you come up with and pay the top ones a visit. This will give you a chance to see what the fishing is really like there. Don’t be afraid to approach any anglers you see and get their opinions of the place. Find out how often they come to the spot and what kind of a catch they make. Get out your pole and do some fishing of your own. Depending upon how well known the spots are that you choose, you may be able to hire a guide for your first trip out. They will be familiar with the area and provide you with loads of helpful tips and information. You will learn more than you would on your own in a very short time. Finding the right fishin’ holes takes work. Be prepared to put in the time, and don’t expect to get it right the first go-around. It might take you a few trips before you find the best spots for you.

2012 Regulation Cultivating The Environmental Ethic Changes for CWD Containment Zone by Sam Erickson
by Matt Bergfield, Macon County Conservation Agent Each year the Missouri Department of Conservation reviews its regulations for hunting, fishing, and trapping. A couple regulation changes for this year apply to deer hunters in the Chronic Wasting Disease(CWD) containment zone consisting of Adair, Chariton, Linn, Macon, Randolph, and Sullivan Counties. The first regulation change affecting hunters in the containment zone is the removal of the 4-point antler restriction. This change was made because it protected a group of deer, typically young males, in search of their dominant territory and travel long distances. While this would be a natural way to spread CWD, removal of the 4-point antler restriction
allows the legal harvest of deer that biologist believe could spread the disease most rapidly. The second change prohibits the placement of grain, salt products, minerals and other consumable natural or manufactured products used to attract deer throughout the year. This change was made to prevent the abnormal concentration of deer. Abnormal concentration of deer increases animal to animal contact which is believed to be the most likely method of CWD transmission. These regulation changes were made with the intent to slow and do our part to control and contain the spread of CWD. More information on deer hunting and CWD can be found in MDC’s 2012 Fall Deer and Turkey brochure, or online at www.mdc.mo.gov .
Many people have come around to the idea that people have a responsibility to protect the land. While many balance this desire for protection with the idea that there are tremendous resources to be used for the economy, most have some to see the environment as something valuable. What’s the best way to do this? Just get outside. If you live in a heavily industrialized city, you might not have the great outdoors nearby. You can still get out to your nearby park. Choose good weather and plan some activities that will allow you and your family to spend some time together. If you return to the same spot in different seasons, including winter, you can start to share the natural cycle with your family. Spend some time hunting, fishing and camping. While there is often tension between hunters, fishermen and those who seek to use the environment for rec-
reation, there are also a lot of strong alliances. Camping and hunting can allow you to spend lots of time just hanging out and relaxing. Without the pressures of dayto-day life, there’s time to expand and bond. One of the best things you can do for the kids is to answer their questions about why you choose to spend your time relaxing in nature. Plan your vacations around national parks. There is little to compare with the majesty of Yellowstone or the sheer size of the Grand Canyon. Even if you can’t make it to these places, try to take advantage of the state and national parks. The United States has a tremendous diversity in its environment. The National Parks Service has thousands of acres set aside for protection. While most are concentrated in the West, there are state and national parks in every state. While you don’t have to camp out every night to get some appreciation, putting the parks
on the itinerary will associate them with fun and family time for the kids. There’s not a right wayto expose your children to the environment. Kids these days have plenty of time to interact with the electronic environment. Interacting with the natural world will take a little more
planning and effort. The most important thing you can do is to make a habit of spending time in the natural world with your children. While you can recycle and reduce use throughout your life, a lasting legacy will be to impart an environmental ethic to your children.

A Tribute To Sportsmen And Women by Tresa Erickson Conservation efforts have increased dramatically since the presidency of Theodore Roosevelt. An avid sportsman, Roosevelt worked hard to protect the natural resources he so loved. Assisting him in the effort were thousands of fellow sportsmen and women. Together, they pushed for laws protecting public lands, waters and wildlife, requiring fishing and hunting licenses, and funding state conservation agencies through taxation of gear. As a result, hundreds of thousands of species were saved from extinction, including antelope, elk, white-tailed deer, wild turkeys and wood ducks. While Roosevelt was recognized for his efforts, most sportsmen and women were not. They deserved public recognition, too.
Acutely aware of the problem, Pennsylvania gun shop owner Ira Joffe suggested the creation of a day to thank sportsmen and women for their conservation efforts. Governor Raymond Shafer supported the idea and established Outdoor Sportsman’s Day in the state in 1970.The idea for a national day gained momentum with support from the National Shooting Sports Foundation, and just a year later, Congress got into the act. Senator Thomas McIntyre from New Hampshire and Representative Bob Sikes from Florida each presented a bill calling for the establishment of National Hunting and Fishing Day on the fourth Saturday of September. The bills were well received and passed in both houses. President Richard Nixon signed the first proclamation of
the day on May 2, 1972. From there, the celebration of National Hunting and Fishing Day took off. Every state governor and many city mayors jumped onboard, working diligently to promote the day. National, regional, state and local organizations responded with hundreds of hunting and fishing events. The celebration of National Hunting and Fishing Day continues to this day. Each year, prominent figures from politicians to athletes to entertainers serve as chair of the day. Countless events are held everywhere in honor of the conservation efforts of sportsmen and women. These serve to raise awareness of the cause and give others a chance to see how fun hunting and fishing can be.

Calling All Deer Some hunters swear by deer calling, the process of rattling deer antlers together to mimick a fight between two bucks. By Tresa Erickson
should set up in an area where they can spot the deer before it spots them. Bucks tend to approach rattling from downwind, so the hunter should look for an area where bucks are less likely to circle their position. They may even want to enlist the help of another hunter. One hunter can stand ready downwind while the other sits in a tree stand under dense cover and rattles. The hunter should choose a time to start the rattle early in the morning when bucks are out and about and prepare the area well. Deer in general feel safer during low light conditions when fewer hunters are around. The hunter should disguise all unfamiliar scents and set up some decoys to keep bucks coming. They may use authentic racks or synthetic ones in a neutral shade that will limit visibility.
You use calls for ducks, geese and turkeys, but as for deer, that’s just not something you do. You’d rather track a deer than try to call it to you. There are some hunters, though, who swear by deer calling and are adept at it, especially when it comes to deer rattling. Deer rattling is exactly what it sounds like, the rattle of deer antlers. It is based on the idea that bucks that hear rattling will assume that a fight is taking place over a doe and approach. Rattling works best during the peak of the rut on grounds with a high buck-to-doe ratio or a large number of dominant bucks. Before a hunter uses the rattling technique, they need to scout for the areas bucks use regularly. These are sites where bucks eat, spar and sleep and where does eat as well. The hunter
Generally, the larger the rack, the louder it will be. Designed specifically for rattling, many of the synthetic ones will be easier on the hands and reduce the risk of injuries. The hunter should try to make their rattling as realistic as possible. They should crash and grind the racks together to simulate a fight among bucks, make some aggressive grunts, sniffs and wheezes, rustle the leaves and pound the ground with a stick. After a few minutes, they should stop and listen for a buck to approach. It may take a while for a buck to appear, so the hunter should resume the rattle every 10 to 15 minutes, using short, loud sequences, until they see a buck. As the buck comes closer, the hunter should rattle more softly or use a grunt call to coax it into range and keep it there.
If there is no response, the hunter should wait half an hour and try again, only this time a quarter to half a mile farther away. Hunters should not try to rattle the same site day after day. Any bucks within the area may sense that something is not quite right and refuse to come. Should the hunter see a buck, they will definitely want to change sites. The chances of rattling the same buck in the same site day after day are slim. Rattling does not always work, of course. Bucks already with a doe will not come running in fear of losing that doe, whereas bucks that are smaller may not come running in fear of losing the battle to a larger buck. It never hurts to try the technique, though. Hunters just might be successful and have more than one buck approach.
Armed For The Cold By Tresa Erickson If you like to hunt and spend hours every season in a treestand waiting for the right opportunity, then you know how cold it can get. Depending upon what region of the country you live in, you could experience temperatures in the low 20s each morning. To protect yourself against the elements, you need to wear all of the right clothing and dress in layers. When it comes to clothing, quality counts. You need to purchase the warmest, most well-made clothing you can afford. You must protect your feet with heavy socks and insulated boots. Some hunters prefer electric socks and boot blankets, which go over the boots. These, however, can make getting around difficult. Long underwear is a must for cold mornings. You may wear an insulated suit or a flannel shirt and pants. Avoid cotton, which will wick away body heat
when wet. To keep your legs warm, you may want to purchase some bib overalls with full-length zippers, which you can remove easily later when it warms up. Look for overalls made of fleece or wool for quietness. Depending upon how cold it is, you will probably want to wear a light fleece jacket and a parka that will fit down over your waist. Make sure the parka has a tall collar to keep your neck warm and a hood to keep your head warm. Heat can escape the head fast, so make sure you wear a toboggan under your hooded parka, and don’t forget your hands. Heavy gloves are an absolute must. You may also want some hand warmers or a muff. These are just some suggestions for staying warm on those bitterly cold mornings during hunting season. Keep in mind that you will want your clothing to be waterproof and have an umbrella on hand for your treestand. That way, if it rains, you will be prepared.
