On Saturday, November 1, 2014, the MTHS cross country teams headed into the district meet, not anticipating what would happen next. It was a sunny morning, temperatures in the mid 40’s, and a slight breeze at the Pike County Fairgrounds where the district meet was held. “My athletes/ teams had nothing to lose,” said Coach Erin Mack. “This was a first-year program and I knew I had a lot of talent on these teams, but never expected the outcome that would soon follow after the Class 2 District 3 girls race.”

At the conclusion of the

VIEWS AND COMMENTS From the Editor

by Editor Carolyn Trower

GOOD GRIEF

I’m sure George Washington Carver would be most proud of how his promotion of the peanut has paid off. “Goober Peas” have become staples at franchised sporting events. Emblazoned with team colors and logo, “specially priced” bags of peanuts are as necessary as a program or scorecard.

So I’m thinking, “If these tasty little rascals can finance Jimmy Carter’s presidential run, maybe this is a good addition to my garden.” I would have something else in common with Billy and Tom T. Hall.

It turns out raising peanuts is the same as any other farming or voting.

You try to pick a quality variety and hope for the best. And, as with elections, the advertised results are not what you realize.

The gooberatorial inauguration of my crop was splendid. Good stand.

Healthy looking growth.

Lots of bloom. But, all the production is out of sight, you’re just left to suppose that something productive is happening. Apparently, my peanuts didn’t even work the 137 days that our national legislature did. While the result was about the same, the peanuts were much less “taxing.”

I’m sure that Jimmy Carter had a good way to harvest peanuts (other than hiring it done). I am equally sure that my way was not that way, and we’ll let it go at that. While I will continue to vote, “working for peanuts” is all very fine, but I can show me a better time. Maybe I’ll go drive my car. I know that it can sure go far. And maybe I’ll bug you.

Well, now that the Great Pumpkin has delivered Christmas (other than Black Friday, and Thursday, and Saturday, and Sunday and football games) is there any time before “cyborg” Monday to squeeze in Thanksgiving? And some people wonder why many social/ religious sects around the

world regard Americans as frivolous and heathen.

And yet, many economics would be in default if Americans did not buy their frivolities and/ or vacation there.

Speaking of vacations, the number of American Healthcare professionals choosing to vacation in Ebola-land is seemingly undiminished by the prospect of three weeks (21 days for those being taught Common Core math) in quarantine upon return. (The same as U.S. troops sent to help.) Perhaps someone should remind the “nurse with an attitude” that the first rule of medicine is – Do no harm. If she has such a stigma for medical protocol, maybe surgical staff needn’t scrub before doing a procedure on her.

Thousands of much more professional Healthcare personnel are donating their vacation time to returning Ebola volunteers.

But, along that line, why doesn’t the government allow Ebola volunteers to volunteer for temporary military medical duty, and get 30 days paid leave upon their return?

Covers the 21-day quarantine plus a week’s family reunion. Nah. That would be too simple.

It’s also interesting how the news media first couldn’t hype Ebola enough and is now trying to convince everyone that the CDC (who a couple months earlier were showcased for botched protocol and spreading contamination) and the administration (who knew nothing about Bengazi, the VA shortcomings, underestimated ISIS, had no clue that affordable health care was crumbling as it was being bandaged together, and has no more appreciation of “red lines” than of “red ink”) are responding with positive, effective, action. But, by now it’s after the election and probably a non-issue.

The 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month. Be there.

That’s not Fair!

If you are a parent, I am sure you are familiar with the words, “That’s not fair!” You hear it from all ages. What is fair? Often when you think of children playing, you think of playing by the rules, taking turns or sharing.

As adults we think more of keeping an open mind and listening to everyone’s ideas.

So, how do I teach my children, fairness? A majority of what a child learns is from the examples they experience. If we want fair children then we must model it at home.

They watch to see if you listen to them and others that you interact with.

Practice with your children on issues. Have your

family together make a list of facts and opposing views. Does everyone listen to all the facts or just the ones they believe? Do you have a set of standards for every situation?

Are you being fair?

Make a list of some of your family rules and the consequences of not following them. Ask your children what their rules would be if they were in charge. List them next to the actual rules.

Ask, “Is this one fair?

What would happen if we adopted this rule?”

Compare and contrast the lists. Determine the consequences and consider rule revisions if youth can show how their suggestions are fairer.

The Ralls County Record (1865) The Perry Enterprise (1888) The Center Herald (1904)

Published Every Thursday at New London, Missouri rche@tds.net •rallshe.com

Well, Ralls County has come into November with a biting wind and cold temperatures; on the heels of Halloween and a last hurrah on the football field. The once flaming trees have mostly lost their bright leaves while the mighty oaks that line the fields and stand sentry in yards cling to their leathery leaves, the deep brown streaked with shades of burgundy and dark purple.

The campaign signs have been taken down and peace and calm will hopefully grace the hallowed halls of government.

The farmers have fired

up the combines, sometimes literally, to get the last fields of corn and beans safely harvested before the late autumn rains set in. Living in a rural area puts you closer to the cycle of nature.

We gather the last of the garden and cut back the spent stalks of peppers, squash and tomatoes. Porch plants have been brought inside and vibrant mums have replaced the petunias and geraniums.

Another nod to autumn is the comforting smell of a pot of chili or a big pan of vegetable soup.

Add a loaf of fresh baked bread or a pan of corn-

bread and you have the perfect supper. Soon we’ll be getting our ovens set for Thanksgiving, a bittersweet time of year for me personally, but still my favorite holiday.

The varsity girls Cross Country team heads for Jefferson City and this week starts the junior high basketball season. I can’t wait to see the action on the court. Lots of sprinting from basket to basket, rapid fire passes and swished nets. High school teams will follow shortly and the youth league soon starts to practice for their weekend tournament games.

The only thing I’ll miss

from football season are the grilled pork burgers.

Warm gyms and packed bleachers beckon; be sure to come out and support the all the Tiger and Lady Tigers teams.

November is a time of transition, a time to put things in order and to give thanks. Give thanks always, it says in the Bible, and we have so much to be thankful for here in our tiny corner of the universe.

Remember to share with the food pantries and be generous when “special” collections are held. Life is good here and we all need to work together to keep it that way.

UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI EXTENSION

MU Extension entomologist Wayne Bailey As corn yields exceed commercial storage space, farmers will likely store some of this year’s crop in on-farm bins and in unconventional ways.

Stored grain attracts insects, and producers should take measures to protect their investment from insect damage, says Wayne Bailey, University of Missouri Extension entomologist.

First, remove grain residues from bins, nearby bunks or feed storage areas, Bailey says. Sanitize empty bins, combines, trucks and augers, paying special attention to fans, with pre-harvest insecticide applications.

For best results, apply to empty bin surfaces and surrounding areas six to eight weeks before harvest.

Use a coarse spray of at least 30 psi to spray areas until wet. Insecticides are most effective when temperatures are 60 de-

grees or higher.

Second, apply a labeled protectant surface spray on grain to be stored. Streams of grain are usually treated as they flow into storage structures.

This is essential for grain that will be in storage through the summer months or longer, Bailey says. Long storage periods increase risk of infestation.

Make a second application of insecticide on the top layer of grain. Fill bins only to the height of sidewalls and level grain before top-dressing. This helps prevent invading insects, especially Indian meal moth, from entering grain beneath the top surface. Bailey also suggests hanging pest strips in the bin above the grain to control moths.

Third, monitor stored grain for pests. Bailey recommends monthly visual checks from the roof

Book Review Kerosene Lamps and Grandma’s Washboard A Living History of Northeastern Missouri Some local people who have stories printed in this book are Betty Mc-

Clintock of Center; Bennett Poage of Rensselaer who wrote about Warren Vopel; Beula Nutt; and Jo Ann Bumgarner of Perry.

In January of 2014 folks in northeastern Missouri were asked to share their memories of “the good old days.” They were invited to write letters describing interesting, humorous, unusual, exciting and even romantic “happenings” from the past. Many of them were born prior to 1940 and the majority grew up right here. They were not selected from any particular group or social, nor were they expected to have any special writing ability.

From their responses, 292 were chosen to be included in this book.

Their stories aren’t history in the usual sense.

Rather, they entertainingly describe a way of life that will never again be seen.

If you’re an old-timer, you’ll identify with most of the topics, ideas and events in this book.

If you’re a youngster,

access door from November through April, and checking at least twice a month from May through October. The surface and the central core of the grain are most often infested, but sample other areas also.

A sour smell indicates a problem. You may also see clumped grain or condensation on the inside of the bin, webbing on the grain surface or the presence of insect larvae, adult beetles or moths.

Do not walk on the top layer of treated grain.

In addition to being a safety risk, this may crack open areas for insects to enter. Monitor grain on the inside of the bin by using plastic tube traps, probe traps or pheromone traps. Insert these to attract insects and determine the kind and number of insects present. If these traps are unavailable, look at grain

that has been removed with a grain probe from the side door.

Soybean is at less risk of infestation than corn if moisture is maintained at 13 to 14 percent, Bailey said. This is because soybean has high oil content.

Infestation happens in as little as three to six weeks if you don’t sanitize bins and equipment prior to grain fill, he said.

In normal years, fall temperatures usually allow the stored grain mass to cool to 50 to 55 degrees. This causes insects infesting the grain to become inactive. Some grain management recommendations suggest reducing the temperature of the grain mass to 35 to 40 degrees to restrict the development of molds.

you may be baffled by the tales of two-holer outhouses, castor oil as a cure for anything, rumble seats, party line phones and schools with just one room. But all these things, and many others, are discussed in this book.

If you’re a Missouri old timer you’ll find this book especially enjoyable. You’ll probably recognize many of the people, places and things you’ll find on its pages.

There are dozens of photos of people you may know…many as they appeared years ago when you were just a child.

There’s a more compelling reason for this book’s existence. The 20th century saw more change than any other

period in human history. This change began slowly. Up until around the 1940’s, even into the 1950’s in many areas, everyday life for most rural Missouri residents was very nearly the same as it had been for many decades previously. The use of draft animals, outdoor plumbing and doing laundry by hand was the accepted way.

This book was compiled and edited by Todd Blair, Karen Garvey and a team of assistant editors. They are quick to disclaim authorship.

That honor belongs to the wonderful folks of Northeastern Missouri who took time to share their memories of the good old days.

The local partner for Toys for Tots is RSVP at Douglass Community Services.

“We are blessed to be working closely with our friends at Hannibal Parks and Recreation and the Salvation,” said RSVP Stacey Nicholas.

“Our goal is to deliver, through a new toy at Christmas, a message of hope to less fortunate

youngsters that will assist them in becoming responsible, productive, patriotic citizens.”

Last year, Toys for Tots assisted with providing a brighter Christmas for over 700 children. Each family also received a Christmas food basket provided by the Salvation Army.

Collection sites for toys in Hannibal include City Hall and Douglass Community Services. Dollar General (Huck Finn Plaza and Oakwood) and Big Lots are also local collection sites. Coin canisters have been placed throughout the area.

All toys and moneys collected in Northeast Missouri will remain in Northeast Missouri.

Anyone interested in holding a toy drive or make a financial contribution, please contact the RSVP office at (573) 221-3892, ext 247.

CHURCHES/OBITUARIES New Oakland Baptist Deacon Jack Watson gave a big welcome to all members and visitors. He read the announcements on the calendar for November.

Men’s breakfast is Saturday, Nov. 8, at 7:30 a.m. Mid-week Bible study is at 10 a.m. every Wednesday now, back to our scheduling for the winter months.

Come join us, men and women. Veterans Day is on Nov.11. November 17 is WOM’s (soup)day at 9 a.m. Come make “Stone Soup” and enjoy fellowship along with the meeting. Our Music Team will be at Monroe City Manor at 6 p.m. on Nov. 17. Our

Music Team will be back at Manor on Sunday, Nov. 30, at 1:30 for music and worship. We enjoy bringing music and the Word of our Lord in participation with our friends living there. Our church Thanksgiving Meal and fellowship will be Nov. 23 after church.

Special music today was by our Music Team singing “I Won’t Have to Worry Anymore” and “I Believe in a Place Called Calvary.” Congregational songs were “Tell It to Jesus,” “Love Lifted Me” and “God Will Take Care of You.” Pastor Jeremy’s’ Message was from Ezra 9:1-3.

Perry Christian Church The Perry Christian Church worship hour for November 2 began with the choir singing “Blessed Be His Name”. Jason Fleenor was pastor. He and his parents had just returned from the Missouri Baptist Convention where he was a delegate from the Stoutsville Baptist Church.

CWF members are offering raffle tickets on the quilt made by Wanda Shoemate. Tickets are $1.00 each or 6 for $5.00 and can be obtained from any member. Quilt is presently on display at the Arlington.

“I Can Only Imagine” was the song of praise. JoAnne Bumgarner had recent visits from the Seelow and Hetrick families and both report her doing well. Joyce Coleman reported her great-grandson was now doing fine.

“Sweet Hour of Prayer” was the call to prayer.

Our sympathy and prayer are for the family of John Asbury. Lynn Broyles, Jill Lewellen and Jerry Flee-

Pastor David Todd

nor are also on our prayer list.

The meditation was given for Sharing the Lord’s Supper. “When I Survey the Wondrous Cross” was sung. Elders were Joyce Coleman and Floyd Seelow, Jim Gay and Carol Norman. David and Wyatt Lewellen served as deacons.

“How Great Thou Art” was the special duet by Cheri and Arlen.

Jeannie Gay asked the children if they could see God and explained that with Jesus’ teaching and studying the Bible they could see God more clearly with their hearts.

1 Kings 17:13-15 was read by Caitlyn Provancha for Jason’s sermon “A Cake of Bread.” With Elijah’s ministering to the widow he taught that faith was greater than fear and gave the hope of something to look forward to in what God will do.

The invitation hymn was “Just as I Am.” The benediction was given, closing with “Blest Be the Tie That Binds.”

South Fork Prestyterian The November 2 service began with Patti Grimmett playing the prelude, “All Hail King Jesus.” Debbie Carey led in singing the congregational hymns, “Hallelujah, What a Savior,” “Will Jesus Find Us Watching?” “Jesus Is Coming Again,” and “Coming for Me.” Prayers were requested for Amanda Grimmett, Jere Nelson, Bonnie Utterback, Sherry Cleaver, Dorothy Woodhurst, Tim Embree and family and Sharon McGee. “Happy Birthday” was sung to Beth Tilt and Maxine Beuter. Patti and John accompanied themselves on guitar and sang “These Are the Days of Elijah.”

Pastor John’s message was titled “Behold He Comes.” There are a lot of different opinions about how Jesus will return, but all Christians believe he will return. We aren’t saved by our theological correctness of the return, we are saved by his grace. When he does return, things will change in a twinkling of an eye. Jesus tells us about his return in Matthew 24:36-44. No

Pastor Grubb

Pastor John Grimmett

one knows about the day or hour of his return except the Father. When He comes, it will be somewhat like when Noah built the ark. Some will be taken and others left behind. You need to be watching, waiting and ready for His return. Everyone will be doing what they normally do. You won’t know when he is coming. Being ready means having one eye open and your heart open and ready for his return. When he comes back everyone will know, even the unbelievers. Every knee shall bow, every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. JESUS WINS! Pastor John, Max Tilt and Earl Sweitzer served communion. Debbie collected the offering as Patti played “Be Thou My Vision.” The service closed with the benediction and the postlude, “Blessed Be Your Name/At the Name of Jesus Every Knee Shall Bow” played by Patti.

Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.

Obituary George Griffin

Long time Palmyra educator, George Griffin, 67, passed away peacefully at home on October 27, 2014 after a valiant seven year battle with leukemia. George was born in Hannibal, Missouri, on May 1, 1947 to Leonard and Mary E. Nance Griffin.

George graduated from Decatur Eisenhower High School in Decatur, IL in 1965 and began attending ISU. He left college to enlist in the United States Navy in 1968. He was a hospital corpsman (HM2) stationed with the Third Marine Division. In 1972, George returned to ISU where he earned his BS in Education and met his future wife. George and Mary F. Walton of East Peoria were married in Peoria, IL on June 22, 1974. She survives of the home.o Survivors include two children and their spouses: Christopher and wife Jennifer of Phoenix, AZ and Mandy and husband Daniel Coons of St, Peters, MO. He is also survived by several aunts and uncles on his mother’s side. He was preceded in death by his parents, Leonard and Mary E. Griffin, his in-laws W.A. and Dorothy Walton, and his brother-in-law, Donald R. Walton.

George graduated from ISU and attended Quincy University where he received a Masters Degree in Curriculum and Development.

He began his teaching career as a resource room teacher for children with special needs in the HomewoodFlossmoor School District near Chicago. He then was hired to write a work-study program for Peoria Public Schools eventually implementing the program at Peoria Central High School for the Mid-Central Association which covered eleven counties. George briefly left teaching to serve as a service manager for General Motors, Honda, and Chrysler car dealerships. He returned to education in 1988 when he became a resource room teacher for the Palmyra R-1 School District. During the next twenty-five years, he filled many roles from Middle School teacher, to A+ programs director to Special Services Coordinator to English as a Second Language coordinator. Although retired, he continued teaching the ESL children of Palmyra until his death.

During summers and

weekends for seventeen years while teaching for Palmyra, George donned a different hat and became a Visitors Assistance Ranger for the US Corps of Engineers at Mark Twain Lake. He could frequently be found patrolling the campgrounds on his bicycle or issuing a ticket for parking on the grass.

Other than the joy of watching his children grow up, one of the things that made him most proud was reactivating Palmyra’s Boy Scout Troop along with several fathers and helping produce ten Eagle Scouts from that bunch of young men. These men are all now productive members of their communities.

George was an active member of Palmyra United Methodist Church where he had served as a Sunday School teacher to the Joy class. He was a charter member of the Marion County Services Board, had served on the FACT board and served on the committee to raise funding (ACE) for the building of the new Moberly Area Community College campus in Hannibal.

In his spare time, George enjoyed gardening, fishing and helping others. Much of the produce grown in his garden each year was shared with friends and neighbors.

Veterans Day Facts

Veterans Day is a holiday that has come to mean more since September 11, 2001, and the U.S. military involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan. Originally started after World War I, the increasing number of veterans in recent years and the military commitments have made the holiday more important to contemporary society.

More schools and businesses close, and celebrations have blossomed across the country. Despite those developments, there are still some questions about this national holiday.

There’s even some question about the actual name of the day. Does the day belong to veterans?

Should the name have an apostrophe? If so, does it belong to one veteran or all veterans? There is no apostrophe in the name because it is a day to honor all veterans.

How is it different than Memorial Day? Memorial Day is meant to honor and remember veterans who have died in the service of their country or because of wounds from service.

Veterans Day is meant to honor all veterans. It has taken on an increased awareness of living veterans, their service and the contributions they have made to national security in recent years.

Veterans Day is not only a national holiday in the United States. Dating

back to World War I, Canada, Australia and Great Britain all observe Remembrance Day on November 11. The celebrations are a little different in each place, but the overall intent is the same: to honor those who have served to protect the country. Parades, wreath laying and ceremonies mark celebrations in all three countries.

While Veterans Day is a federal holiday, it is not universally observed.

There is no requirement for businesses or state offices to close, although all federal services are suspended for the day. There is no federal law requiring all schools to close as there is for other federal holidays, so each school district decides whether to follow the observance.

Unlike other national holidays that have been moved to Monday to create a long weekend, Veterans Day is

always observed on November 11 regardless of the day on which it falls.

Veterans groups have long lobbied for special recognition. Schools can and do choose to observe the holiday on different days of the week.

The practice of wearing poppies on Memorial Day is a tradition that has gone largely unobserved by many in recent years.

Many wonder if it is appropriate for Veterans Day as well. Officially, the wearing of poppies to remember war dead is precisely that—a remembrance for those who have died— and, because Veterans Day honors all veterans, the wearing of remembrance flowers is not a common practice. Many communities, however, are developing rituals and ceremonies to mark the holiday honoring all veterans.

Gerry Dinwiddie “You call, we will respond” The Best on Earth: A Veteran’s Day Tribute If someone has done military service, They earn the title “veteran,” and more; They earn our deep respect and admiration; That they are special no one can ignore.

They sacrificed the comforts we enjoy; The list is long of all the things they gave.

Our veterans are extraordinary people; They’re loyal, dedicated, true and brave.

When terror and invasion were real threats, They showed us they could handle any storm.

We owe our freedoms and our very lives To our veterans, who served in uniform.

Our veterans should be celebrities; They’re exceptional; no other group compares.

We’re grateful for the many things they’ve done; They’re always in our hearts and in our prayers.

We owe our veterans support and friendship; Let no one ever question what they’re worth.

These men and women served us and our country, Our veterans--the very best on earth.

A Primer On Respect

With the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan finally winding down, more veterans are returning to their daily lives. This means you are more likely to encounter service members at work, in the classroom or in your community. While they were at war, most veterans knew they were being supported back home.

There are several steps you can take to make sure that you are still supporting the troops once they are out of uniform.

One simple thing you can do when you find out that someone has been in the military is to thank them for their service and allow them to take the reins and lead the conversation. Some veterans will

be eager to talk about their experiences, while others will be more reticent.

Continued nagging questions can be irritating to those who do not wish to discuss their experiences.

Many people benefit from a day off on Veterans Day. As the only day set aside to honor living veterans, one way you can show respect is by taking some of that additional free time and acting on your support for the troops. Many cities organize celebrations and ceremonies to honor veterans. Gather your friends and family to attend these services and demonstrate your commitment to support the troops.

You can apply these

ideas to all of the veterans in your life, whether they served in Iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam, Korea or World War II. Respecting veterans isn’t just about putting flags on your lawn or affirming your support for the troops. It is about understanding the complex and often horrific experiences that veterans have endured in order to serve their country and allowing those veterans to make choices about when and where to share their

stories.

Most veterans are fiercely proud of their service, but many are quiet about their actions. Some are open about their experiences, while a few resent the time they spent in the service. By following these simple steps, you can demonstrate respect for the very different responses to military service and help reintegrate veterans into civilian life while honoring the work they did on the country’s behalf.

Ferry and Anna Gill, the varsity girls team would not have had a chance to advance to the state meet, but with those two it gave us a full cross country team, and an opportunity. I didn’t have any expectations out of those two, but was just happy to see they wanted to be a part of the varsity team and give districts a try. Now, I am glad they did! Maddy Ford, Katie Neff, and Sylvia Astorino have been strong front runners for us all season. And with Kaelee Ogle making huge improvements in dropping her 5K time throughout this season, these girls have made a lasting impression on the Mark Twain High School Cross Country program forever. I am proud of what they have accomplished this season!

They worked hard for that 2nd place district plaque and I look forward to their achievements at the state meet.”

state meet next weekend. “He has been a fierce competitor all year and his determination should prove him a potential all state competitor,” said Coach Mack.

Not too far behind Devin are Corey Cornelius, Grady Franklin, James Parker, and Brad Tonkinson, who are a strong 4-man team in the middle. “Corey and James are the two senior leaders this year and have really corralled the boys team,” said Mack. “They are an energetic duo that bring a lot of stamina to the team and are an uplifting pair when it comes to competition. They want to see the TEAM succeed, not just themselves.

They will really be missed next year. Grady and Brad are consistent with their running times. No matter the terrain or weather, these two will deliver a time that is close to the norm for them. Their ability to adjust to any obstacle will make them tough competitors in the future. Andrew Ogle, Corbin Eckler, and Bobby Higgins have also shown improvements this year. These three have a knack for rallying out the boys team. All have knocked off an average of 2-3 minutes off their 5K times over the course of our season. Their roles as “pushers” in the 6 and 7 spots on the boys team prove them to be strong finishers.”
