SHARE THE HARVEST NOV 10-20

by Aaron Thomas, LHS FFA Wednesday, October 24th, thirteen La Plata FFA Members traveled to Indianapolis, Indiana, for the National FFA Convention.

Along the way, they visited the Ropp Jersey Cheese farm in Normal, Illinois, where they learned about dairy production and renewable energy sources like wind turbines. Upon arrival in Indianapolis, the team attended the First General Session of the 85th National FFA Convention. They heard from numerous notable speakers including Olympic Gold Medalist Scott Hamil-

ton, National FFA Advisor Steve Brown, and the National FFA President Ryan Best. This year’s theme was “Grow”. The theme stressed the importance of constant development through premier leadership, experience, and learning.

On Thursday, the team attended the 85th National Career Expo. Here, members had the opportunity to see numerous agricultural businesses, schools, and vocational centers. The goal of the career and school fair was to inform students on the diverse options provided by agriculture. The

same day, the team attended the Second General Session with information on how far farming and agricultural business has come in the last century. This session also provided members with ideas for things they can do to make a positive impact in their communities. The final day gave members a moment to look back at the history of chocolate as they toured the De Brand Chocolate factory in Fort Wayne, Illinois. This tour noted the importance of agriculture in the chocolate business. Before returning, the team toured a museum of choice, the Auburn Cord

Duesenberg Factory. The La Plata FFA would like to thank everyone who participated in or purchased fruit through the FFA Fruit Sale.

Deliveries begin the first week of December.

Participating in the National FFA Convention were: Advisor Jessy Reuterdahl, Aaron Thomas, Ally Gregory, Jeana Noel, Ma Kay Belt, Grant Gregory, Cordel Bane, and Logan Curtis. Bottom Row Left to Right: Molly Safley, Kalie Lene, LaDonna White, and Elizabeth Janes.

The Food Bank Announces 15 Million Meal Goal Food Bank can provide 11 meals to Macon County for every one dollar Macon, Missouri – The Food Bank for Central & Northeast Missouri’s “Food for the Holidays” campaign begins Nov. 1 and lasts until Dec. 31. During this time, The Food Bank’s goal is to collect enough food and funds to provide 15 million meals for hungry Missourians.

The Food Bank’s “Food for the Holidays” comes in light of the unprecedented need for food assistance in today’s local economy. Each of the 32 counties in The Food Bank’s service area is affected by food insecurity, including Macon County.

“Food insecurity is just another way of saying that individuals sometimes

don’t know where their next meal will come from.

In Macon County, 15.1 percent of people suffer from food insecurity. So that means 2,350 people might not know where they will get their next meal.

Unfortunately 820 of those people are children,” says Mike DeSantis, Regional Coordinator for The Food Bank.

The Food Bank helps to feed those in need in Macon County by providing free food to La Plata Christian Ministries and Macon County Ministries and by providing the Buddy Pack program for children. The organization can provide 15 pounds of food or 11 meals for every one dollar donation. The Food Bank has distributed 418,740 pounds of groceries in Macon County so far in 2012.

COMMENTARY COMMENT

ENORMOUS VEGGIES

Blonde But Blunt

BY BECKY JEFFCOAT EDITOR/PUBLISHER lpnews@marktwain.net

Another Halloween has come and gone and it seems the costumes just get better every year.

Thinking outside the box makes me think what great imaginations we have in Northeast Missouri. Great looking group of people around here, whether dressed up in costume or not.

I spent part of Halloween in the hospital with my daughter and her new family!!! Yup, that’s right.

My first grandson was born on Halloween, so I got a “treat”, not a trick.

I’m gonna nickname him “spook”!

Lee was born at 14.36 (that’s 2:36 p.m. for those of you not familiar with military time). Perfect little bundle at 6 pounds, 7 ounces and he was 20 inches long. A head of hair which resembled a curly mohawk and the color, fantastic. It looked as if he had just came from the salon. Beautiful blonde and auburn highlights. So he might have a tint of red in it. I hope so, just not the temper his mom had to go with it.

Sara and Lee came home on Saturday, November 3rd, and all is well. Sara and Daniel (her boyfriend) live across the sidewalk from me, so I’ll get to go over ALL THE TIME to hold and spoil the new little addition to our family. Yippee!! I do believe that our little princess (Quinci Jo), wasn’t completely aware of what was going on, but at seven months, I think a little bit of the green monster was in the midst. But she’s still my little sweetie pie. So, now I have a spook and a princess. Life is good!!!!!

Over the weekend I traveled to the La Plata

JEFFCOAT Craft Show to take some pictures and while there I might of picked up a few little trinkets. HeHe!!

Also saw a lot of young deer hunters, as Youth Season was last weekend and the little camo covered people were all over the place with smiles as big as from the Iowa line to South Missouri. I get a kick outta these little guys and gals. It’s great to see their father’s take an interest in their children and we expect photos to be piling in for printing before long. So if your child took a deer over the weekend, send it to me, we love love love to print their accomplishments and see their faces while posing with their four-legged kill.

I never was much of a hunter. Went a couple times with uncles and my brother, but all they could say is “Shhhhhh!” Guess I talked to much. Imagine that!! So never shot anything except “bull”!! Good thing you don’t have to tag that stuff, I’d be over my limit and probably be in a heep of trouble and paying fines the rest of my life.

Anywho I’ll be hitting the Atlanta Junior High Basketball Tournament this week, hope to see you there!!!

Keep It Kool, Bec

A couple of enormous vegetables showed up at the office last week. Patrick O’Toole of Elmer has been giving away vegetables right and left as his garden located in the “Mercyville Bottom” has had a great year. O’Toole says that the past three years the land has been flooded and he couldn’t plant a garden there, but this year proved to be a great harvest. His turnips and radishes are enormous and the rest of his planting was a success. O’Toole used the old adage of “Whether Wet or Dry, always plant your Turnips on the 4th of July - and - Drunk or Sober you will have Turnips on the 23rd of October”.

FAITH

SHEPHERD’S CALL

Pastor’s Corner Jesus said, “The most important commandment is this Israel listen! Our God is the one Lord, and you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your being, with all your mind, and with all your strength.

The second is this, You will love your neighbor as yourself.”(Mark 12: 29-31, CEB) Jesus was not saying anything new that had never been spoken before. He was quoting the Old Testament, from the Law of Moses.

These two commandments are to be the heart of everything we as people of faith do. It begins with love for God. God created the earth, the stars, the plants, the animals, everything that exists. Last of God’s creation was human beings, man and woman. God created all this, including and especially us, because God wanted to share his love with something and someone other than himself.

It is only natural that we should want to share our love with God. But God does not require us to love him back. We show God we love him by loving others. That is the second of the great commandments, to love others. We are to love other people who share

Pray For The New President

THOMAS our faith in Jesus Christ.

I did not say others of our own denomination or church. We are to love others who believe in Jesus Christ, no matter what they or we call ourselves.

We are also to love ourselves. Jesus said, “love others as yourself.”

That tells us that we ought to love ourselves. If we do not love ourselves it is difficult to love others.

I God can love us without expecting us to be any different than what we are, then we ought o be able to love ourselves just as we are. It is difficult sometimes, but if we allow God to help us with his love for us Then we can do it.

Pastor Denzil Thomas Atlanta, Mt. Zion, La Plata United Methodist Churches

This column is being written eight days prior to our presidential election. Next week approximately half of America will be disappointed.

Their candidate will have lost the election. The disappointed ones will say or think, “The other guy won.” This brings up the question of what to do when the president is not the person you voted for.

Will you bad mouth and fight him for the next four years? Will you be like my co-worker who said, “He is your president, not my president.”

I asked him, “Are you not a citizen of the United States? If you are, then he is your president whether you like it or not.” His attitude makes him a disenfranchised citizen.

Did you pray for the right person to be elected?

Did you pray, “Dear Lord, Please let (your candidate) win. Nevertheless, your will be done.” If you did, then is it possible God answered your prayer?

Please don’t hear anything partisan in these words; no one knows at this point who will be elected. However, if you prayed, “Your will be done, Lord,” it is entirely possible that it was. God does not always answer our prayers as we want. We don’t tell Him

what to do; He tells us.

So, if you are disappointed next week---and half of the United States will be, what are you to do? You may be surprised to learn the Bible has answers for us. Some religious leaders of Jesus’ day were unhappy with the government. They viewed the Roman authorities as tyrants occupying their country. Seeking to trap Jesus, they asked Him what He thought about the Roman rule. Jesus responded, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.” (Matthew 22:21) Jesus taught us to respect those in authority. At the very least, the new president will deserve our respect.

The apostle Paul went a step further. He said we should pray for those in authority over us. (I Timothy 2:1-2) He said we should pray for them so we can all live our lives with godliness and dignity. It makes sense, doesn’t it? Whether you voted for him or not, you should want the President to do a good job because, if he does, we will all be blessed.

Pray for him; pray that God will lead and bless him. Pray for him for your sake and mine.

Bacon Is Big

By Stewart Truelsen Bacon is undoubtedly America’s best-loved and most maligned meat product. It has been the subject of studies trying to link consumption of large amounts with some cancers, and nutrition consultants often discourage clients from eating bacon.

Yet, bacon hasn’t lost any of its sizzle. The American Meat Institute reports that bacon has an almost cultlike following with dozens of Facebook fan pages and blogs with thousands of readers. For some reason, bacon just can’t seem to stay out of the news. As the nation’s severe drought wore on this summer, consumers became worried

about higher food prices and shortages. What food product did they fear losing the most? Why it was bacon. The bacon scare began in the British press and made headlines everywhere. The Huffington Post Blog called it “aporkalypse,” the beginning of the end for bacon lovers.

But, analysis by American Farm Bureau Federation economists showed pork supplies will decrease slightly going into 2013 and the idea of widespread bacon shortages was really overblown. In stores and on the Internet shoppers can buy flavored bacons and hand-crafted bacons made by artisans using old fashioned curing meth-

Paleo Diet is that we are genetically programmed to be healthier if we eat what our distant ancestors ate.

Whether hunter-gatherers actually ate bacon is arguable. However, wild boars are indigenous to Europe, so a successful hunter with a sharp stone, fire and salt could have cured meat.

Pigs were domesticated at least 7,000 years ago. The Chinese get credit for being the first to salt pork bellies around 1500 BC. Today, there are lowsodium, lean and turkey varieties of bacon available. If you love bacon there is no reason you can’t find some that is suitable for your health, nutrition and enjoyment.

ods and hand labor. This premium bacon is two or three times the cost of regular bacon, which is usually inexpensive. Bacon also is the star of one of the most popular recipes on the internet - the Bacon Explosion, a barbecue dish the size of a football. A Bacon Explosion consists of bacon wrapped around a filling of spiced sausage and crumpled bacon. It is then smoked or baked.

Bacon can be part of a diet to lose weight. The Atkins Diet is based on the premise that a person can lose weight by eating meat and eliminating carbs. Bacon and other meats are in, but grains are out with this diet. The idea behind the C Y

BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT

Treating Area Residents For Over 40 Years FURMAN CHIROPRACTIC

La Plata Chiropractor continues to serve area residents after 40 years of practice. He continues his education with as many as 24 hours of education each year, and has no plans of retiring any time soon.

For over 40 years, the Furman Chiropractic Office has been a part of La Plata’s business district. Dr. James Furman began his practice in January of 1972, locating his office at 115 W. Sanders. By January of 1976, he had purchased the office building on S. Gex Street on the west side of the square. In May of that year, he moved his practice to the new location, where he continues to practice.

Dr. Furman became certified as an EMT (Emergency Medical Technician) when the group first began in La Plata in 1973. Then, in 1980, he became certified in Acupuncture. In order to continue practicing, he attends 12-24 hours of continuing education classes each year.

Over 6500 people have become patients over the years. Although most of them are from La Plata and nearby towns, many have come from several other states, especially when visiting relatives here. He continues to take new patients as always.

For just over a year, Dr. Furman has limited his schedule to Monday, Wednesday, Friday from 9 a.m.

-noon and 1-4 p.m. The new schedule helps him keep his fees down and allows him a little more free time.

La Plata has always been a friendly, safe place to live and work, so as Dr. Furman says, “I enjoy working and have no plans to retire at this point. I consider myself ‘semi-retired’ with the current schedule. Since my wife, Becky, serves as my office manager, she and I are able to enjoy a little extra time off together while continuing to serve our patients.�

Macon Police Department Report On 10/13/12 at approximately 1:43 am, the Macon Police Department received a citizen’s complaint of peace disturbance in the 100 block of West Bourke Street. The complainant reported a black male subject standing outside being loud.

The suspect was then also arrested for assault in the third degree of a law enforcement officer. After processing the suspect, he was released pending a municipal court date.

On 10/16/12 at approximately 12:55 am, the Macon Police Department received a report from a concerned citizen of a possibly intoxicated driver in the downtown area. A description of a white male driving a light colored SUV was obtained for further investigation. Police located a vehicle fitting the descrip-

tion minutes later on South Rubey Street and made enforcement contact in the 600 block. As a result, police arrested Richard B. Brinkman, 29 of Macon, for driving while intoxicated and failure to stop at a posted stop sign. The suspect was transported to the Macon Police Department for processing and was unable to post the required bond. The suspect was then transported to the Macon County Jail pending formal charges. Charges were later filed and bond was set at $549.00 cash or surety. Brinkman later posted bond and was released pending a municipal court date.

On 10/17/12 at approximately 10:47am, a victim reported to the Macon Police Department items had been stolen from the victim’s property located in the 500 block of Jefferson Street. The victim reported an air conditioning unit and two ladders were taken between 10/15 - 10/16.

The items have a value of approximately $500.00 total. This case remains under investigation at this time.

On 10/17/12 at approximately 11:15pm, a Macon Police Officer attempted to make contact with three subjects walking in the area of Missouri

and Weller Streets during which time one male subject attempted to flee the area on foot. After a short pursuit, police stopped the fleeing suspect and placed him in custody. Another officer responding to assist was able to locate and detain a second male subject described by the officer. As a result, police arrested a 25-year old white male of Williamsburg (IA) for drinking in public. Police also arrested a 20-year old white male of Kinross (IA) for minor in possession of alcohol, resisting arrest by fleeing, littering and drinking in public. Both suspects were transported to the Macon Police Department for processing and were later released pending a municipal court date after posting the required bond.

On 10/18/12, the Macon Police Department received a complaint of a man driving a vehicle without a valid license. A description of the man and vehicle were obtained for further investigation. At approximately 9:38 pm while on routine patrol, an officer observed a black male fitting the description driving a vehicle on Missouri Street and made enforcement contact near Vine Street. As a result, police arrested a 32-year

old black male for driving while license suspended.

The suspect was processed at the Macon Police Department and was later released pending a municipal court date.

On 10/19/12 at approximately 2:30 pm, police made enforcement contact with a vehicle at the intersection of McKay and Rutherford Streets after observing a female subject known to have suspended driving privileges operating the vehicle. As a result, police arrested a 32year old white female for driving while license was suspended. The suspect was transported to the Macon Police Department for processing and was later released pending a municipal court date.

On 10/19/12 at approximately 2:48 pm, police made enforcement contact with a vehicle at the intersection of Douglas and Allen Streets after observing a male subject known to have suspended driving privileges operating the vehicle. As a result, police arrested a 32-year old black male for driving while license was suspended. The suspect was transported to the Macon Police Department for processing and was later released pending a municipal court date.

On 10/20/12 at approximately 1:15 am, while on preventive patrol in the downtown area, a Macon Police Officer observed a vehicle driving erratically in a parking lot. As police attempted to make enforcement contact, a white male suspect exited the driver’s side of the vehicle and fled the area on foot.

After a short foot pursuit, the officer was able to locate and take custody of the male suspect. As a result of the contact, the 22-year old white male of Macon was arrested for driving while intoxicated, careless & imprudent driving, resisting arrest by fleeing and failure to obey the reasonable command of an officer. The suspect was transported to the Macon Police Department for processing and was later released pending a munic-

ipal court date.

On 10/21/12 at approximately 1:50 am, Macon Police made enforcement contact with a vehicle in the area of Rutherford & McKay Streets. As a result, police arrested a 24year old white male of Bevier for driving while intoxicated and driving while license suspended.

The suspect was transported to the Macon Police Department for processing and was later released pending a municipal court date.

A criminal charge is merely an allegation and the defendant is, of course, presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.

Share the Harvest

YOUTH DEER HUNT

November 10th – 20th (Firearm’s Season for Deer) The Food Bank of Central and Northeast Missouri, along with the Conservation Federation and local food pantries, encourage area hunters to donate a deer for the purpose of helping families in the local community.

Share the Harvest is a program administered by the Conservation Federation of Missouri. Hunters who want to participate simply take their deer to a participating meat processor. There is typically no processing fee charged to the hunter when a whole deer is donated. The processor is paid $60 by the Conservation Federation, for each whole deer processed.

The processed venison, usually ground into burger, is distributed to local food pantries and is made available to families in the community who are struggling to make ends meet.

Financially speaking, many families are currently experiencing the “perfect storm�.

The rising costs of groceries, fuel and utilities, often coupled with the loss of a job, cause many local families to have to choose between basic necessities.

Donating a deer to share the Harvest is one way to help mitigate these difficult choices.

In 2011, the 11 days

that comprised the Firearms “Main Portion� season yielded 191,000 of the 292,000 deer harvested throughout all deer hunting seasons. Over 6,000 deer were donated to Share the Harvest.

Many processors only accept deer donations for a few weeks in November, which include the 11 days of the Firearms “Main Portion� season.

For more information about Share the Harvest call (800) 764-3663 or visit www.mdc.mo.gov and click on “Share the Harvest�.

Veterans Day Quotes by Bernard Malamud

By Anna Landis I am the American flag. Listen to me and I’ll tell you my story. My colors are red, white and blue. I have a field of 50 stars and 13 stripes. I am also known as “The Stars and Stripes� and “Old Glory.� I am honored to be in all public places.

I go to schools where the children pledge allegiance to me. I attend all sporting events and stand proud and fly high as they sing my song “The Star Spangled Banner.� I am honored when I go by in a parade and my people salute me.

Yes, I’m the American Flag. I served under 40some presidents. I was in peace and war. I was at the battle of Bunker Hill and Valley Forge where I saw the soldiers starve and freeze to death. I was with General Washington as he crossed the Delaware. I was in the Civil War where I saw father and son, brother and brother fight against each other to save the Union. was there when they freed the slaves. I was at Gettysburg with President Lincoln, where in a few minutes he gave the most famous speech ever heard, “The Gettysburg Address.� I went along to the trenches in France in World War I, the beaches of Normandy in World War II, the day which lives in infamy at Pearl Harbor, the sands of Iwo Jima, where a few soldiers planted me in the sand to fly high with honor over them. I was in many wars and places with the people of my

country. The farthest distance I have traveled is to the moon where I’m also flying high to honor my country.

I am the American flag. I stand for freedom, but freedom has it price.

Freedom doesn’t prevail without tyranny. I was disgraced many a time. I was spit on, stepped on, shot at and burned. I saw racism and other violence in my country, but I have overcome, for I fly over America the greatest country there is. A land of freedom, liberty, opportunities, a place to dream and live your dreams, a land of bounteous blessings, a land of milk and honey. A land to worship your Lord and Master. If we would just open our eyes and hearts and believe in God and ourselves we could move mountains. What a great country I stand for.

I’m proud of my patriots.

May they be proud of me!

I am the American flag.

I am at the boot camp where the morning reveille is played. I am the cover over the casket when one of my servicemen who have served their country reach their final resting place. And I’ll fly high with honor while taps are played for those who have served their country and have paid the price. They gave their all so that I may fly free.

Yes, I am the American flag. May I long wave over the land of the free and the home of the brave. God Bless my Country! God Bless America! Long may She live! Written in honor of those who have served and died for their country.

Macon R-1 Begins Archery Program

Missouri’s National Archery in the School Program (NASP) will be introduced to students in grades 4-12 at Macon R-1 this

school year. The NASP started when Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources (KDFWR) Commissioner, Tom Ben-

nett wanted to find a way to reach the youth of the state and get them outdoors. The KDFWR hosted an event to introduce the Kentucky

Department of Education to the sport of archery. The Department of Education liked the event and agreed to start it in middle school PE classes.

Since the NASP began in 2002 over 10 million youth have participated from more than 10,000 schools, including 47 states and 5 countries. Archery allows every participant to succeed and enjoy the sport.

Statistics show that school archery programs improve school attendance, increase self-esteem, increase physical activity, appeals to all students, get kids outdoors, and can also become an after school activity.

The Long Branch Chapter of Whitetails Unlimited, in Macon, donated $3800 to help pay for equipment. Another $1500

will be obtained through reimbursable grants from the Missouri Department of Conservation. Thanks to these contributions there is no cost to the school.

Whitetails Unlimited’s money came from proceeds made at their banquet each year in Macon. The group is very supportive of shooting sports for local youth.

This local chapter has invested thousands of dollars so local youth can have opportunities to participate in shooting programs including local 4-H, FFA, and Boy Scouts.

Other schools that have

MoNASP in our area include Tri-County Christian, Kirksville, South Shelby, Monroe City, Knox County, Moberly, Cairo, and Bucklin. To learn more about NASP visit http://mdc.mo.gov or http://archeryintheschools. org. You can also find videos at http://youtube. com . Anyone with questions can also contact Matt Bergfield, Macon County Conservation Agent by phone (573) 673-0009, or Rob Garver Outdoor Skills Specialist at rob.garver@ mdc.mo.gov.

There are two great times to enjoy chocolate treats in Missouri: Day and night.

If that theory doesn’t sound too diet friendly and you need a better excuse to indulge, consider this: It’s fall and Halloween is approaching. Say you’re doing research to find the best chocolates to pass out to trick-or-treaters. Say you’re stocking up for the kids. Whatever you say, say it with a chocolaty smile.

Here’s a look at some of the Show-Me State’s best places for chocolate.

While we’re currently focused on fall and Halloween, these confectioners offer chocolate bliss yearround.

Grown-ups in the St. Louis area have long enjoyed the treats at Baileys’ Chocolate Bar. Offering a variety of martinis, including the chocolate bar signature martini (served hot or cold), thin mint martini, Mexican martini and a selection of more than 75 beers, you are sure to have an enjoyable evening at this hot spot.

Crown Candy Kitchen Elsewhere in St. Louis, you find history and chocolate go hand-in-hand when you step into Crown Candy Kitchen,where a policy dating back to 1913 states that anyone who can drink five 24-ounce malts or shakes in 30 minutes gets them free, their name inscribed on a plaque in the store and a free T-shirt. Many have tried over the years, but few have succeeded. One of St. Louis’s oldest attractions, Crown Candy Kitchen also makes chocolates, including chocolate hash—marshmallows covered in chocolate and topped with pecans.

In southwest Missouri, head to Springfield, home of Askinosie Chocolate.

Shawn Askinosie, creator of these tasty chocolates, was a successful lawyer when he developed a new hobby, baking. His original plans were to open a cupcake store, but he soon turned to chocolate, and Askinosie Chocolate was born. Enjoy a taste of Askinosie’s creations and note that tours of the facility are available on select days.

Introducing Midwesterners to the delectable chocolate that was once only found in Europe was the dream of André and Elsbeth Bollier when they emigrated from Switzerland to Kansas City in 1955 and opened Andre’s Confiserie Suisse. Now, nearly 57 years later, Andre’s still uses only the best ingredients and has expanded its business to include the Tea Room, which serves a light Swiss lunch.

Also in Kansas City, Christopher Elbow Artisanal Chocolates offers some of the most unique and inventive chocolate

creations in Missouri.

Chocolates at Christopher Elbow suit a variety of tastes, whether you’re looking for a hint of grapefruit juice or the spice of a chipotle chili.

Special offerings are created seasonally. Elbow also has put his unique stamp on ice cream with Glace Artisan Ice Cream, also in Kansas City.

Chocolate lovers are sure to delight in available flavors such as Christopher Elbow Dark Chocolate and Peanut Butter-Chocolate.

Another northwest Missouri locale known for chocolates is St. Joseph, home Cherry Mash, the top-selling cherry candy bar in the U.S. Although the Chase Candy Company production facility does not offer tours, it does offer an on-site store where you can buy factory-fresh candies.

Across the state on U.S. 36, known as The Way of American Genius, another haven for chocolate lovers is found in Mark Twain’s home town, Hannibal. At Chocolaterie Stam, located on Hannibal’s Main Street, you find an amazing assortment of chocolate goodies, whether you’re interested in traditional chocolate bars or imported European treats, or you simply want to pop bonbons like they’re, well, candy.

About 25 minutes south of Hannibal, the delicate artwork of chocolate dipping by hand can still be found at Bankhead Chocolates, in Bowling Green.

Established in 1919, this family-owned business is dedicated to maintaining the individual artistry that is evident in each piece of chocolate, distinguishing it from other machinestamped chocolates.

Ever wondered just how chocolates and candies are made? Bring your family on a tour of the Candy House in Joplin. Visitors will see how peanut brittle and English toffee are made, how candies are enrobed in chocolate and see chocolates being dipped by hand.

The best part of the tour comes at the end when you get to taste some of these delightful treats.

Chocolate, candies, milk shakes, all scrumptious treats, what could be better? How about a cookie dipped in chocolate? The Candy Factory, in Columbia takes your favorite cookies, like Oreos and Nutter Butters, and dips them in chocolate for a sweet treat. Want more of your snack-time favorites dipped in chocolate?

Then you must try their chocolate-covered potato chips. The perfect blend of sweet and salty, your choices include original, salty kettle cooked and jalapeno kettle cooked.

A sweet shop with a cause is what you will find on a trip to Smithville. Nellie’s Sweet Shoppe was opened in 2007 after Janelle “Nellie” Tebbs, lost her battle with melanoma. The shop is filled with chocolates, fudge, candy corn, “Remember When” candies and more. Nellie’s also has a melanoma information education corner and sells special UV-sensitive beaded accessories that change color to alert you when you should apply sunscreen. Proceeds from some of the treats are sent to melanoma organizations.

COMMUNITY NEWS MDC Taking Tree Local Veteran Takes Honor Flight Seedling Orders This is the time of year when we start getting many resources that are of interest to landowners and producers. This week I will talk about a very popular one that is here now.

The Missouri Department of Conservation has been providing tree seedlings to landowners here for many years. This is the time of year to order them as that booklet is available at the Extension Office (1st floor of the courthouse in Unionville) as well as at the Farm Service Agency Office here. Remember they are filled on a “first come first served” basis so you need to decide as soon as possible. You can only order by Internet, mail or fax! They have several special bundles as in

the past, including: quail, wildlife cover, wild edibles, conservation, wetland and nut tree bundles.

These are mixed varieties but you can order 10, 50 or 100 of individual tree varieties too. They are bare root seedlings primarily 1-year old although some are 2 or 3 years old. The really nice thing about the booklet (to me anyhow) is there are color pictures of the trees so you can tell what they look like. Finally, this pamphlet has several other booklets that are available for purchase that you might be interested in too.

Don’t wait too long as many tree varieties go fast so if you’re interested come by and pick this up as soon as you can.

Please Drive Safely During Thanksgiving Holiday Weekend The Missouri State Highway Patrol reminds motorists that many Missourians will travel over the upcoming Thanksgiving weekend. This will change traffic patterns and requires everyone to be a courteous, safe driver. If you will be traveling this holiday, please make sure your car is in good condition before beginning your trip.

The Patrol will participate in Operation C.A.R.E (Combined Accident Reduction Effort) during this Thanksgiving holiday weekend.

Over the past several years, the Patrol has used special traffic enforcement projects to further their efforts to decrease traffic crashes and fatalities. This Thanksgiving weekend will include such an enforcement project, a 20-mile Trooper Operation. Troopers will work the road at 20-mile intervals along Interstates 35, 44, 55, and 70, as well as U.S. Highways 60 and 61.

The Highway Patrol’s Emergency Assistance number is 1-800-5255555 (or *55 on a cellular phone).

BINOCULARS

Most of us see a big buck after it has seen us and is running away. The trick is to see that buck before it sees you.

A good set of binoculars can be your best piece of hunting equipment.

Glassing with binoculars helps you see not just game but game trails and beds. They can also help you judge antlers and identify movement.

8x42 and 7x35 are your best choice for all-around use. For open country though, 10x42 is best. Compact, inexpensive, and bulky or heavy binoculars should be avoided.

As you glass, look nearby as well as far away. Look for a patch of white hair or antler, look for a horizon line out of place in a vertical woods, etc.

Search intensively with your eyes and binoculars and you’ll be able to spot more deer before they spot you.

On September 4, 2012, Warren, Jack, Lee was one of several WWII and Koran Veterans to be honored on an “Honor Flight” to view Veteran memorials.

Jack said they arrived at Columbia at midnight and were served breakfast. At 2:00 am the bus left for the St. Louis airport.

About 86 veterans were flown to Baltimore.

“When we arrived, we heard all kinds of noise.

There were around 100 to 150 people greeting us at the airport”. Jack said they walked through the crowd and were treated like VIP’s. From the airport they loaded on buses and went to Washington DC to view the monuments.

“We were greeted by everyone all day long” said Jack. I shook hands with a man from Kena, South Africa and had our picture taken. He said he never saw a WWII vet before and I told him he saw them everyday, they just didn’t have the t-shirt

on”.

Jack, a former college instructor, ask to go view the Vietnam Wall. Jack had 4 students he taught that went to Vietnam and did not make it back home.

Jack has carried each of their names on an index card in his front pocket for more than 26 years. Once the card gets worn, he copies the information on a new one. When Jack was asked to see the cards, sure enough he pulled them right out of his front shirt pocket.

Once Jack got to the Vietnam Wall, he kneeled at each name and read a prayer he had written for each of them.When Jack was asked what his favorite part of the Honor Flight was, he said it was seeing and feeling all the respect given to them by everyone. “We were treated and felt like royalty”.

Jack recalled as they were getting escorted back to Columbia, they slowed at Kingdom City. It was dark and they heard an army of motorcycles. At that time they were told

Pictured is Jack and the gentleman from Kena, South Africa he met during his trip.

that over 300 bikes of the Patriot Guard Riders were also escorting them to their stop.

Jack had family and friends waiting for him when he arrived. Once again everyone greeting them and thanking them for their service as he walked to the car with his family.

Jack and many other heroes like him are among us every day. As Jack said, we just don’t know it because they don’t have a t-shirt on. It is so important to remember and honor our Veterans as they were and still are willing to give all for our freedoms.

MDC Still Needs Hunter Help With CWD Sampling Effort is for deer harvested in Adair, Chariton, Linn, Macon, Randolph and Sullivan counties.

The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) is working with hunters, taxidermy shops and deer processors to collect tissue samples from adult deer harvested during the fall archery and firearms deer seasons. The cooperative effort is part of MDC’s ongoing work to monitor the prevalence and distribution of chronic wasting disease (CWD) in Missouri’s free-ranging deer. CWD has been found in free-ranging deer in Macon County. The sampling effort is taking place until Jan. 15. It is limited to deer harvested in MDC’s CWD Containment Zone of Adair, Chariton, Linn, Macon, Randolph and Sullivan counties.

Hunters are encouraged to take their harvested deer to one of numerous cooperating locations in the region. Removing a tissue sample is free, takes only a few minutes and will not reduce the food or mount value of harvested deer.

Test results for participating hunters will be posted on the MDC website beginning in December.

A list of cooperating taxidermy and processing locations can be found in MDC’s “2012 Fall Deer & Turkey Hunting Regulations and Information” booklet available at MDC offices, from permit vendors and online at mdc. mo.gov (http://tinyurl. com/93vg3ut).

MDC will also collect additional samples from across north Missouri as part of its ongoing statewide CWD surveillance effort. With the help of hunters, MDC has tested more than 35,000 freeranging deer for CWD from all parts of the state since 2002.

According to the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services (MDHSS), there is no evidence that CWD can infect people. According to the Missouri Department of Agriculture, there is no evidence from existing research that CWD can spread to domestic livestock, such as sheep or cattle.

Chronic Wasting Disease is a fatal disease that attacks the nervous systems of cervids, such as white-tailed, mule and other types of deer. It is transmitted by animalto-animal contact or soilto-animal contact. It can spread through activities that unnaturally concentrate animals, the natural movement and dispersal of infected free-ranging deer, the transportation of live captive deer with CWD or the transportation and improper disposal of infected carcasses.

CWD is caused by misshapen proteins called prions. These prions concentrate in the brain, spinal cord, eyes, spleen and lymph nodes of infected cervids. The prions can enter the environment through carcasses of diseased deer and can infect deer in the area for years.

Moving harvested deer that still have these parts from the Containment Zone could introduce CWD to other parts of Missouri.

MDC also asks hunters who harvest deer in the six-county CWD Containment Zone not to take whole deer carcasses or carcass parts out of the area. Items safe to transport are: meat that is cut and wrapped, meat that has been boned out, quarters or other portions of meat with no part of the spinal column or head attached, hides or capes from which all excess tissue has been removed, antlers, antlers attached to skull plates or skulls cleaned of all muscle and brain tissue and finished taxidermy products.

Hunters who harvest deer, elk or moose out of state and bring the animal into Missouri with spinal column or head attached must report the animal’s entry to MDC within 24 hours by calling toll free 877-853-5665. The carcass must be taken to a licensed meat processor or taxidermist within 72 hours of entry.

Hunters throughout the state who encounter or harvest deer in poor condition with no obvious injuries should contact their local conservation agent or MDC office. Local MDC contacts can be found on-

line at mdc.mo.gov.

In another effort to slow the spread of CWD, the Missouri Conservation Commission has rescinded the antler-point restriction (four-point rule) in the CWD Containment Zone. Yearling and adult male deer have been found to exhibit CWD at higher rates than female deer. The dispersal of yearling males to new areas in search of territory and mates is one way CWD spreads.

The Conservation Commission also approved a regulation change that restricts activities that are likely to unnaturally concentrate white-tailed deer and promote the spread of CWD. The regulation became effective Oct. 30.

It bans the placement of grain, salt products, minerals and other consumable natural or manufactured products in the CWD Containment Zone, The regulation includes exceptions for backyard feeding of wildlife and normal agricultural, forest management, crop and wildlife food production practices.

According to MDC, Missouri has more than 507,000 deer hunters who spend about $690 million in the state each year on deer hunting and related activities. This has an overall economic impact of $1.1 billion in Missouri each year and supports almost 12,000 jobs.
