Mark Twain FBLA Recognized For Food Drive

MORE FUNDING RELEASED FOR ENERGY ASSISTANCE IN MISSOURI

Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon has released more than $4.5 million in additional federal funding for utility assistance.

The Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) is funded by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and is distributed through the Missouri Department of Social Services to non-profit groups such as NECAC. The program assists with paying part of the energy bills of income-qualifying people. Eligible households could receive a minimum of $45 up to a maximum of $450, depending upon the type of heating source.

In addition, people who receive a utility shut-off notice also may qualify for assistance through the Energy Crisis Intervention Program (ECIP).

Each energy assistance qualifying household can get up to $800 to help prevent disconnection of their utilities.

The programs run through March 31. During the winter heating assistance season last year, NECAC served more than 4,000 households.

Apologies to Ralls County Circuit Clerk and Ex-Officio Recorder of Deeds, Gina Jameson, who was omitted from the swearing in photo in our January 8 edition.

Danielle Robinson receives a plaque from Mike Penrod in recognition of Mark Twain FBLA’s efforts in a recent food drive. From left are Olivia Jones, Kristeen Simmons, Hannah Spoonhower, Mrs. Danielle Robinson, Brady Hooley, Mike Penrod, Emily McBride, Nealee Kesler, Peyton Johnston, and Kaitlyn Woodhurst.

On Thursday, January 8, Danielle Robinson, FBLA sponsor at Mark Twain High School, was presented a plaque “in appreciation of Future Business Leaders of America and Mark Twain High School students for their outstanding support and contribution to the Workers’ Food Drive.”

Robinson’s FBLA members led the collection of food for the food drive sponsored annually by the Iron Workers of St. Louis Local 396. Dan Hardy and Mike Penrod have been in charge of the food drive for several years and remember when Mrs. Robinson helped with the drive as a student.

NEW CHIEF OPERATIONS OFFICER ANNOUNCED Kevin Butner named Chief Operations Officer of Lewis County Press, LLC Lewis County Press, LLC, named Kevin Butner its Chief Operations Officer. Butner will lead the growing group of community papers.

Butner joins Lewis County Press from C&R Supermarkets (“C&R”) in Macon, MO, where he supervised several stores and wrote ad material for the last three years. Before C&R, Butner and his wife, Mary, owned and operated Butner’s Country Mart for over nine years. A native of Macon, Butner has lived there all his life.

“I love rural Missouri, the quality of life and all the benefits it has to offer,” said Butner.

“The rural newspapers are important to our small towns. I’m excited to be a part of the team that keeps this important, they are as important as our utilities.”

Butner will work directly with each paper’s editor and publisher to help them achieve their editorial and revenue goals. Also, he will be instrumental in folding in additional papers. Lewis County Press has grown from one newspaper to its current portfolio of nine publications during the past four years and actively seeks additional acquisitions.

Payne Schoen, a Lewis Coun-

ty Press co-owner and its former Chief Operating Officer, will advance to become Business Manager of Schmiedeskamp, Robertson, Neu & Mitchell LLP, the premier law firm in Quincy, IL. “Having gotten to know Kevin over the past year and a half, I am delighted that Lewis County Press will be left in his capable hands,” Schoen said.

“Kevin very much understands the importance and need of newspapers to build community among residents of these small towns.”

Lewis County Press’s mission is to strengthen communities by delivering proprietary local news and editorial supported by advertising and subscriptions. It is the parent of the DeWitt Era-Enterprise, Arkansas County, AR; The Lamar Democrat, Barton County, MO; The Vedette and The Lake Stockton Shopper, Dade County, MO; The Messenger of Juneau County, Juneau County, WI; the Press-News Journal, Lewis County, MO; the Home Press, Macon County, MO; the Monroe County Appeal, Monroe County, MO; and the Ralls County Herald-Enterprise, Ralls County, MO. Its headquarters is in LaGrange, MO.

The students began the collection November 1 and concluded the Tuesday before Thanksgiving. Local 396 sent a pick up to MTHS and Hardy was most impressed when the food stuffs filled the truck bed, which accounted for a seventh of the food distributed by the Oasis Food Pantry in St. Charles.

Families and Communities Together along with the University of Missouri Extension are here to assist.

With tax season quickly approaching, if you do not have insurance, you will have to pay extra.

This responsibility significantly increases this year. According to Cover Missouri, “Most Americans are now required to have insurance although there are some exceptions. It also means if you are uninsured or do not have access to affordable insurance through your job, you can enroll in the Missouri Health Insurance Marketplace. It is an online marketplace where you can buy a Qualified Health Plan (Bronze, Silver and Gold in Missouri) or Catastrophic coverage from private insurance companies.�

Do you still have questions about the Affordable Care Act? Families and Communities Together (F.A.C.T.) and University of Missouri Extension have information for families, individuals and businesses about options and responsibilities under the health care law.

THE HANSEN REPORT STATE REP. JIM HANSEN

VIEWS & COMMENTS

Swearing In

Despite the cold temperatures, things are heating up at the Missouri Capitol. It’s a new year, new legislative session, and new opportunity for me and the rest of the 98th General Assembly to serve citizens. It was an honor to again be sworn in on Wednesday, Jan. 7, as state representative of Missouri’s 40th District. I am grateful for the opportunity to serve the people of this great state. It truly is a blessing.

My sincerest thanks go to my constituents. You have made it possible for me to be in this position of service. Accordingly, I will work hard in 2015 to adequately represent your voice and values in the Missouri House of Representatives.

My door is always open for those with concerns. After all, representative government works just how it sounds: by representing you. Even when I am away from my office, feel free to call or send an email at 573751-4028 or Jim.Hansen@house.mo.gov. My new legislative assistant, Chase Lindley, will make sure your questions or comments get to my desk. Brett Dinkins, my previous assistant, has gone on to work for new House Speaker John J. Diehl, Jr. I’m sorry to see him go, but am proud of what he has achieved. It’s always great to see young people working hard and moving up in the world.

I want to see more youth achieving great things. Quality education is the way to make

that happen. This session, I will be focusing on making sensible reforms to education that will help Missouri students get jobs in their areas of interest. Too often, government seeks to solve problems by merely throwing tax dollars at them. That’s not what our children or wallets need. Instead, we need personal, common sense solutions. In his Opening Day address, Speaker Diehl put it nicely when he said, “Together, we will challenge our educational institutions to put students first and to graduate students at all levels who are ready to compete in a 21st century economy.”

That’s what I plan to do. Preparing students for jobs in fields of their choice – whether academic or technical – benefits all of us. To get a sluggish economy back on track, we need skilled workers. One-size-fitsall regulations won’t produce them. They only waste more tax dollars.

Keeping your hardearned money in your pocket is a priority of mine. Speaker Diehl also emphasized the importance of fiscal responsibility on Wednesday. He said, “We will rein in the ever-expanding government bureaucracy and foster freedom of workers.”

Those workers are why I’m here. Each day, you faithfully work to serve your families and communities. You don’t have the luxury of slacking off in this uncertain

Hawk Talk

By John Hawkins Perry, MO

It seems more than a bit ironic that the mass execution of satirical journalists in France and the subsequent execution of the executioners should occur within earshot of the Statue of Voltaire. Though frequently muffled by the cloak of self-serving bigotry/political correctness, his words, “I may disagree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it,” serve as a defining statement of the intelligent restraint necessary for civilized relationships.

Civilized relationships, however, seldom get much media coverage. Nor do they contribute to the sale of items of disagreement (weapons, false and slanderous communications, purveyors of inflammatory dogma).

And yet, the right of free self-expression should be viewed much the same as having dinner at an older relative’s house. You may not like what’s put before you, but you’d be well-advised to withhold any comments until they’re prudently composed or privately expounded.

While Voltaire’s statement is eloquent and concise, and appears to be directed in general, his position as a statesman might well imply that his purpose was to promote the open exchange of opinion rather than to encourage maliciousness and taunting for their own sake. After all, those types of expression are most often used by groups of bullies/cowards and not by singular individuals who truly respect freedom of expres-

As your state representative, I will keep that in mind as I work to provide opportunities for the families in Missouri’s 40th District.

sion.

Having said that, it is worthy of note that the National Football League inflicts a penalty upon players who engage in “taunting.” If a sport (and a major capital enterprise) based largely on direct physical confrontation feels obliged to maintain the legitimate structure of the contest sees the necessity to ban and punish random acts seeking only to disrupt the environment, then how can we justify bullying/taunting in any other scenario?

We are provided daily examples of cyber bullying (probably about as deep as one can sink into the slime of cowardice), and both physical abuse and verbal taunting in the context of adolescence. You know it’s not a joke when all but one person are laughing.

(Unless, of course, that person is Jack Benny.)

To put this example in Voltaire’s context, it would seem to be an example of one entity’s suppression of another’s right to freely express their own values and personality rather than the taunter’s right to free speech.

We see similar in-

stances on a regular basis within the political spectrum. Those who dare to exercise their own judgment and vote accordingly are often demoted, defunded and demonized for not adhering to the party dogma.

Distorted, fictitious and slanderous campaign postings of 2014 are already being replaced by practice rhetoric for 2016 on the big-box party shelves. Not only should politics be held to the same restriction on “taunting” as NFL players, they should have to comply with NFL and federal employee standards for drug testing.

In closing, two questions about the Paris killings will not leave my mind: would the overall outcome have been altered 1: if any of the people in the Board Room (except the bodyguard, who probably was armed) had been carrying a firearm? And 2: within the bounds of free speech if the satirists had restricted their banter to Muslims/Islam and treated the persona of Mohammad with the same forbearance as Jesus, Mary, or the icon of any other respected religion?

I chased the most beautiful sunset last week.

I followed it all the way to Madison. A wide cerulean blue band stretched across the western sky.

Rose and peach hues surrounded a brilliant golden orange strip back lit by the sinking sun. The trees reached up with thin multi-fingered branches like someone had thrown ebony lace into the horizon. Long, low clouds turned from sun-kissed cream to thin steel-gray strips against the darkening sky in the time it took me to travel thirty miles.

I’ve taken many pictures of old building and barns, livestock and wildlife in the rural countryside as I traveled my beloved back roads. Along one gravel road I came across an old two-story farm house set back in a wide overgrown lawn.

Doors sagged and broken windows reflected fractured prisms of sunlight. The lawn had bright splashes of color from the rose bushes and still blooming lilacs. I stopped to take some pictures and cradled one huge purple blossom in my hand and inhaled a scent not found in nursery-nurtured bushes. Huge purple clumps hung full and proud above my head.

And I admit I snipped a few of the heady stems to take home. Their perfume filled the car and sent me reeling back to my childhood. Further down that same road I saw newer farm houses, rectangular

ranch styles, set low to the ground, dwarfed by the huge Morton buildings and grain silos that surrounded them. Smaller versions of the ancestral flowers dotted the yards beside swing sets and bird feeders.

When I was still driving to work every day there was an old house that faced a gravel road, but was still visible from the highway. It was a single-story farm house with a peaked roof, attic gables marred by missing shingles. Over the years I watched the hedge buffering the house and lawn from highway noise grow tall and thick. The old cedars cast long shadows across scattered flower beds. A garden plot had outside rows of marigolds and zinnias, rows of corn and staked tomatoes.

I soon noticed an absence of vehicles and shortly afterwards the hedge and trees were massive piles of wooden debris, the cedars’ pungent odor filling the air.

Gradually a destructive sequence played out and the garage and house were reduced to splintered siding and crumbling stone. And then one day it was gone – all of it, as if it had never existed.

The ground was level and bare and the fields now stretched to the edge of the right of way.

Sadly, I photographed another example of just how fragile and fleeting our carbon footprint on this world really is.

When Perry awoke Friday morning there was no electric current, no out-of-town phone service and trees, wires and everything was covered with a sheet of ice. The temperature dropped to about eight above, causing rain as it fell to freeze immediately The fall of sleet and snow reached a total of nearly three inches and turned to slush on streets and sidewalks under traffic. Lower temperatures Thursday night froze the slushy surface in to unyielding ruts which brought traffic to a crawl and made walking difficult.

Traffic has been hinderer greatly by limbs from trees in the streets and the ice, which made it impossible to get very far without chains. Highways were cleared early Friday and traffic over them was safe if a person drove slowly.

The electric current was off all day Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Sunday evening current was turned on in the business section. This made it impossible for anything to be done in the “Enterprise” office, which had to be done by machinery. There was no picture show Friday, Saturday or Sunday evenings. The Long Coal mine was shut down except for work, which had to be done by a gasoline engine. Mr. Long had this installed engine about a year ago and uses it for pumping water out of the mine. Because the railroad track was blocked mail was delivered by truck from Hannibal. It arrived in good time on nearly every occasion.

Friday about noon those who has coal oil lamps, gas lamps, etc., began getting them out and polishing them up. Those who did not have any had to buy new ones or borrow.

Before nightfall there

was not an ordinary coal oil lamp to be bought in town. One firm sold 29 during the afternoon and many store had calls which could not be supplied. Many who had lamps had to buy chimneys and wicks, so there was a scarcity of these items. at some stores salesmen wore miner’s caps with lights after dark in order to see their was about and wait on trade.

One of the worst damages by the sleet was the breaking of the trees. Very few trees in town have escaped losing at least a few limbs. The limbs of many trees were bent clear to the ground and they will be a long time straightening up. Limbs fell on houses, across phone and light wire, in the streets, in yards and every place.

On many streets they had to be cleared out of the way before traffic could get thru. It was dangerous walking or traveling along the street. The tops are completely broken out of many trees and it will be many weeks before the wreckage is cleared up. The city had several men out Friday and Saturday clearing streets.

Electric lines were down all over town and the city had two crews of men hard at work trying to get the lines ready for the current when it was available. The coat of repairs will be heavy on the city and it will be some time before the repairs are finished. The Missouri Power and Light Company high line was down in a number of places from Perry to Ilasco. Center got their current by Saturday evening and we got ours Sunday evening.

Several remarked that it had been thirty-one years since we had sleet, which tore down so many trees and wires.

Jim Carter of Home Telephone Company had men working Friday, Saturday and Sunday on his broken lines over town. Service over town was kept up in excellent shape. No wires being down in the business section and repairs in the residence section being made rapidly. A number of poles were down on a line to the north part of town and people in that section were without service several days.

Of the 38 rural lines out of Perry, only 4 were in

CHURCHES/OBITUARIES The Church At Ariel

New Oakland Baptist Church

Pastor Tim Sanders

We make many plans in regard to our future security. One model of these plans uses a target with a string pined in the center then stretches the string to the outer edge of the target. The string being your savings and investments the edge of the target being your retirement days 60, 70 or 80 years to see if you have enough to live on in those days. Many use such plans to have a fine end of life plan.

Plans like this are not a new thing. Asaph bears witness to the tying together of asserts and money and things to put together a perpetual prosperity. He records them in Pslams 73.

He also records the lure

Pastor Grubb

of such a way of thinking and endless tying things together for what seems to be endless prosperity. {He writes} My steps had nearly slipped, for I was envious of the boastful.

When I saw the prosperity of the wicked. Doubtful thoughts plague his mind, surely I have cleansed my heart in vain. For all day long I have been plagued and chastened every morning. Asaph comes to himself by the Lords spirit, and says, surely Lord you set them in slippery places {He decides} my flesh and my heart fail but God is MY strength, MY heart and MY portion forever.

What›s your plan?

Pastor Tim Sanders at Ariel

New London First Christian Church Pastor Tom Day

The worship service for January 11 began with the choir singing “This is the Day,” accompanied by Marilyn Lucas. Pastor Tom gave the welcome and upcoming events. Bible study continues each Tuesday at 1:30 p.m. Bi-monthly board meeting will be held on January 12 at 5:30 p.m.

Pastor Tom led the responsive call to worship which was followed by the hymn of praise “Living for Jesus,” the invocation and Lord’s prayer in Unison. Worship hymn for today’s service was “We Have Heard a Joyful Sound.” We have many who are in need of prayer today including Ruth Musgrove, Mary Frances Quinlin, Connie Ballard, Betty Ann Schoeneman, Sharon Ayers, Ginny Misner, Jim Overstreet, Dorothy Matson, Eli Browning, “Jigger” Robertson, the family of “Bud” Stover, the family of Betty Hallows, all of our men and women in the military and all of those who were unable to worship with us today.

Pastor Tom gave the meditation and words of institution in preparation for the Lord’s Supper. The

communion hymn was “Break Thou the Bread of Life.” Those serving at the table today were Dave Jarman, Connie Ballard, Pat Gibbs and Bobbe Winders. Gaylord Winders offered the elder’s prayer. Receiving of the tithes and offerings was followed by the prayer of dedication.

Scripture chosen by Pastor Tom for today’s service came from Proverbs 8:11 and God’s message was “The Path Principal-New Year’s.” God has a plan of direction for our lives from the day of our birth. This world has many temptations and people with evil advice. But we must not be tempted or stray from the path that God has made for us. We must resist all temptations and build our lives around his plan. The hymn of invitation was “Trust And Obey” and it was followed by the benediction.

We invite you to join with us each week to be co-laborers as we work and worship together to the honor and glory of God. Our worship service is held at 11a.m. each Sunday at Fourth and Church Streets.

New London Second Christian Church Rev. M. Faye Vaughn

In the name of the Lord, we warmly welcome all visitors and newcomers to Second Christian Church. Sunday, January 11 worship opened with prayer and congregational hymns.

Perry Christian Church

The youth were asked the password, sang This Little Light of Mine and closed by reciting the Lord’s Prayer.

The choir rendered two musical selections, I Can Fly and Two Wings, soloists, Sister Jalya Mayfield and Sister Gloria McMillan under the direction of Sister Paula Stevenson.

Elder Allison offered prayer for giving and receiving of thithes. Joys and concerns were heard followed by pastoral prayer.

The morning message-scripture text was from Mark 1:21-28. The message “It’s about trust.”

Trust is the meaning of Christian faith. Trust does not depend on a happy ending. It does not require rescue from all ills.

It trusts that nothing in life or death can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus Our Lord.

The message was followed by hymn of invitation, communion hymn, closing hymn, God Has Smiled On Me, and the benediction.

Rev. M. Faye Vaughn

This Sunday’s welcome and announcements were read by Deacon Jack Watson.

Today we held our quarterly business meeting and dinner. On January 19 at 6:00 p.m. our New Oakland Singers will be entertaining the residents at Monroe City Manor.

Prayer Requests and Invocation were heard.

Special music was by Wayne, Louis and Trudi.

Congregational hymns were “Just a Closer Walk with Thee,” “At Calvary” and “Down at the Cross.”

Pastor’s message was from Matthew 4:1822, God’s purpose for us for work for His Kingdom. To be able to fulfill His will, He will use those of many different experiences. Look at the disciples/apostles for instance.

They were ordinary men whom God used in an extraordinary manner. There were twelve fisherman, a tax collector, and a revolutionary. The Bible text records the constant failings, struggles, and doubts that these twelve men had while following Jesus Himself. Today God uses us. By accepting Jesus as Lord and believing His teachings, We also have a task/responsibility to spread His (the teachings of Jesus) to others. To allow ourselves to be humbled and led by the comforter/the Holy Spirit that Jesus sent to us when He arose from His

Pastor David Todd

grave to be with The Holy Father in Heaven. We, as believers, need to follow the example of these twelve men. They were taught by Jesus and then were sent out to teach others.

Find a church my friends. Seek one that helps you to go forth and teach others. We never feel worthy or smart enough to do such a task.

But, remember the Spirit of our Lord will guide and be with you and enable us to do His work.

He brings our people love, hope, words of grace for our sins to be forgiven. Oh, what rejoicing there will be when Jesus comes back to take us home.

As the hymn of invitation says, softly and tenderly Jesus is calling. We wish to extend an invitation to come and worship with us here at The New Oakland Baptist Church. Our doors are open for those that need a spiritual home. Our Sunday school is at 9:45 a.m. every Sunday. Our morning service is at 10:55 a.m. every Sunday. Feel free to come by. Drop in on a Wednesday morning at 10:00 a.m. for our midweek Bible study.

We are located off Route J on Oakland Road behind the Landing Water Park. We hope that you will experience the joy and peace of Jesus as we worship together.

Please come.

FARMING TODAY

Fowler Wins 2015 Missouri Beef Queen Title Jessie Fowler of Vandalia was crowned the 2015 Missouri Beef Queen on Jan. 3 at the 47th Missouri Cattle Industry Convention & Trade Show at TanTar-A Resort, Lake of the Ozarks.

Fowler will receive a $1,000 scholarship as the winner. She is the daughter of Bruce & Martha Fowler and represented the Ralls County Cattlemen’s Association in the contest.

Winning first runner-up and a $500 scholarship was Molly Bertz of Mayview. She is the daughter of Harold & Melissa Bertz and represented the Lafayette County Cattlemen’s Association.

The second runner-up and winner of a $250 scholarship was Maria Washburn of King City.

She is the daughter of Tony & Jocelyn Washburn and represented the Gentry County Cattlemen’s Association.

Twelve young ladies from across Missouri competed in the 2015 Missouri Beef Queen Contest. In addition to Fowler, Bertz and Washburn, other contestants included Miranda Goetz of Cole Camp, representing Benton County Cattlemen & Cattlewomen and daughter of Dennis & Kim Goetz; Jessica Poisal of Harrisonville, representing Cass-Jackson County Cattlemen and daughter of Bob Poisal and Cindy Tomasic; Laura Bardot of Londell, representing Franklin County Cattlemen and daughter of Roger & Wendy Bardot; Jera Pipkin of Republic, representing Greene County Cattlemen and daughter of Jim & Joann Pipkin; Cassie Shultz of Waynesville, representing Mizzou Collegiate Cattlewomen and daughter of Terry & Sonya Shultz; Ashley Bailey of Mount Vernon, representing Missouri State University Cattlemen and daughter of Gregg & Sandy Bailey; Morgann Gregory of Houstonia, representing Pettis County Cattlemen and daughter of Kevin & Barbara Gregory;

Julie Choate of Pleasant Hope, representing Polk County Cattlemen and daughter of Mike & Cathy Choate; Marie McSparen of Moberly, representing Randolph County Cattlemen and daughter of Marla Stegall.

The contest was hosted on Jan. 2 at Tan-Tar-A Resort, where the contestants presented speeches and interviewed with a panel of three judges. Judges scored the contestants on knowledge of beef, presentation, appearance, personality and their entry application.

The title of Missouri Beef Queen has, for many years, been a sought-after title for many young ladies involved in the beef industry. In 1980, the first Beef Belle was crowned, and although the name of the title has changed to the Missouri Beef Queen, the tradition of having an

ambassador for Missouri’s beef industry at the many livestock shows, conferences, seminars and activities across the state remains the same.

Missouri CattleWomen (MCW), in cooperation with the Missouri Cattlemen’s Association (MCA), and the Missouri’s Cattlemen Foundation (MCF), sponsors the contest. The scholarships are provided by the MCW, MCA and MCF. Other sponsors for the contest included Carolyn Dieckman, Mary Kay Beauty Consultant, Cole Camp; and the Missouri Beef Industry Council.

The Missouri CattleWomen is an auxiliary of the Missouri Cattlemen’s Association. It sponsors a variety of programs and activities that focus primarily on the areas of beef promotion and consumer and youth education.

The Sky’s The Limit For UAVs In Ag

Source: William Wiebold, 573-673-4128 (cell); 573-882-0621; Kent Shannon, 573-445-9792 COLUMBIA, Mo. – The next generation of farmhands might be able to leap over barbed-wire fences and towering cornstalks in a single bound.

Rules restrict use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) now, but the future holds promise for many agriculture uses, said University of Missouri Extension specialists Bill Wiebold and Kent Shannon.

The remote-controlled devices can fly above fields and quickly send information from attached sensors and cameras back to farmers on the ground.

Farmers can download, evaluate and react to data quickly. Dense rows of crops do not obstruct views. Unlike the aging farm population, UAVs are not hampered by medical issues, muddy fields or fence rows. They overcome these barriers to zoom in and immediately send photos electronically to off-farm advisers.

Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) rules currently restrict usage,

but farmers should plan now for the future, Wiebold told those attending the recent MU Extension Crop Management Conference. He flies UAVs for personal enjoyment and follows “line of sight” guidelines set by FAA. Wiebold said UAVs can scout for insects and diseases that can’t be seen from the outside of a field.

They can scan large acreages from a unique perspective without physical barriers or time restrictions. And there are other benefits. “It’s relatively easy and fun,” he said.

Sensors and cameras can let farmers assess plant size, crop maturity, stand density, nutrient needs, stress and pests, among other things. Producers can check on livestock, fences and equipment with a bird’s-eye view.

Data collected by UAVs helps farmers make plans for the current season and can be archived for future management decisions, Wiebold said.

Shannon said costs run from $1,200 to about $4,500 for models suited for agricultural use. UAV owners can expect crashes

and errors as they learn.

The Associated Press reported in December 2014 that the United States lags other countries in developing safety regulations that would permit a wide array of industries to use UAVs. The FAA bars all commercial use of drones, except by 13 companies that have been granted limited-use permits. Europe and Canada have issued more than 1,000 permits each, and 180 Australian operators have received permission to fly. Japan has allowed UAVs to monitor and spray crops for more than a decade.

Wiebold said it’s important to follow FAA rules, but the rules may change again in 2015. “We need to be good stewards of this technology like we have been with other technologies,” he said.

Current guidelines say UAVs may fly no higher than 400 feet and must remain within the operator’s line of sight.

What’s possible with UAVs? “The sky’s the limit,” Wiebold says. “Well, at least 400 feet.”

Preventing Calf Scours

Source: John Middleton, 573-882-6857 COLUMBIA, Mo.– Calf scours, the diarrhea seen during the first 30 days of a calf ’s life, is caused by a variety of bacteria, viruses and parasites. But the exact cause is less important than prompt treatment, says a University of Missouri professor of food-animal medicine.

The primary reason calves get sick is dehydration, says John Middleton. With an inflammation of the gut, they lose fluids and electrolytes.

“Once they start to get a liquid stool, we need to keep up with hydration and electrolytes. That prevents them from getting severely ill,” Middleton says. “The most severely ill ones need to be taken to a veterinary clinic and treated with IV fluids, while calves that are standing and can still suckle can be treated with oral fluids and electrolytes.”

Most of the pathogens that cause scours are transmitted through fecal-oral contact. Middleton says that breaking that fecal-oral cycle is important to prevent scours, and environmental hygiene is a big part of that.

“Remove the calf from the contaminated environment as soon as possible after birth,” Middleton says. “What we’d like to do is have them calve

and moved out to clean pasture.”

Middleton says age mapping within the groups is important. The pathogens tend to have a specific incubation period, so keeping calves within two weeks of each other lessens the chance of older calves infecting younger calves.

There still will be some exposure, so it’s important to make sure the calves’ immune systems are equipped for that by ensuring that calves consume an adequate volume of colostrum from their mothers.

Scours within three to five days of birth can be caused by enterotoxigenic E. coli that binds to their intestines. This increases secretion of sodium, pulling water into the bowel and causing diarrhea. After the first five days, enterotoxigenic E. coli doesn’t bind to the walls of the intestine.

But several viruses can cause scours after that five-day window. Although the specific virus can sometimes be determined by the age calves start showing signs, Middleton says you don’t need to know what’s causing scours to treat it. There are no specific treatments for viruses.

“Really, what we’re doing is treating the calf ’s symptoms, much like if we were to get food poisoning,” Middleton says.

“We’d hydrate ourselves with an electrolyte solution, but there’s usually no specific treatment for the diarrhea that might be associated with food poisoning. It is much the same case when a calf gets the scours. We’re trying to keep it hydrated so its body can deal with the invading organism and clear it on its own.”

Preventing scours will depend on how producers manage their cattle, how much land is available, weather conditions and how many head are managed per acre. Middleton says the more cattle managed in the same amount of space, the greater the likelihood of fecal-oral pathogen transmission.

Moving feed sites around rather than feeding in the same place can help decrease fecal-oral contact by reducing environmental contamination with potential diarrhea pathogens, Middleton says. He also suggests producers unroll large round hay bales to increase the feeding area.

For more than 100 years, University of Missouri Extension has extended university-based knowledge beyond the campus into all counties of the state. In doing so, extension has strengthened families, businesses and communities.

THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI EXTENSION OFFICE

Hannibal’s Industry Cluster Report

Charles A. Holland This summer the University of Missouri Extension business development program on campus provided me with a cluster report on the three major cities in my region. The cities were Hannibal, Kirksville and Moberly. Cluster reports are intended to capture the specialization and trade that makes up an economy. This information is supposed to be able to assist the reader in finding out why a certain industry may be located in an area. As an economic development tool, the report would provide the industry’s most likely to locate in Hannibal or find complimentary businesses to recruit. So Hannibal for example has a cluster of food processing, a cluster of chemical production, and a cluster in tourism. This is only a sample of all Hannibal’s industry clusters. It has been observed that 36% percent of employment happens in an industry cluster.This makes it all the more important.

This is not all that the report revealed.

The most interesting part of the report revolved around exporting clusters. This is not exporting in the traditional sense, it is about sales outside a commercial area.

Traded cluster are industries that have products not intended to be sold within the commercial zone of that community. For example, General Mills food is produced with a wider market in mind that just the city it resides. Now, knowing that, let us examine the small business aspect of a community.

The report indicated that there are many businesses in Hannibal that can export, but do not. Meaning that they have trade outside the community, but to not actively pursue the sales outside of Hannibal.

With the changing economies, it is vital for small business to look at the local customer and also look at customers outside of the area. Potential customers could be in the next town, next County or even the next state. It is this concept that keeps many small businesses struggling with in the state of Missouri. A business should take a hard look at the marketing plan on a yearly basis to find out where their primary customers work and live.

It is also a good time to

find additional customers outside the area and seek ways to expand the market. It is time for small businesses not to be satisfied with local customer, but to grow and seek customers outside the limits of the town. Think locally, act regionally. Look outside the norm, success may be waiting.

This article was written by Charles Holland, Business Development Specialist with the University of Missouri Extension and the Missouri SBTDC. Charles is located in Paris, MO and can be reached at (660)327-4158 orhollandca@missouri.edu .

Please feel free to contact Charles with any questions regarding exporting or any other business question.

I would like to thank the citizens that supported me in my failed effort for a second term as your Presiding Commissioner. You made it a close race in spite of the dirty politics of misrepresentation and lies, without the opportunity to present the truth.

I enjoyed the time I spent serving the citizens of Ralls County, and I am available to assist anyone that wants my help.

Again, thank you very much.

NECAC expects additional funding for energy assistance

The not-for-profit North East Community Action Corporation (NECAC) expects additional funding to assist qualifying families and individuals with energy assistance throughout its 12-county service area.

Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon has announced that the Missouri Department of Social Services is making more than $4.5 million in additional federal funds available through the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP).

“With temperatures across Missouri dipping below freezing, we want to make sure that families in need are able to stay warm without having their heat shut off, or going into the spring with a winter’s worth of debt,” Nixon said.

“It is imperative for Missourians to stay warm to remain safe and healthy, especially during periods of extreme cold,” said Department of Social Services Director Brian Kinkade.

NECAC is unsure of how much it will receive, will be grateful for the additional funding, according to the agency’s Emergency Services Coordinator Linda Fritz.

“We’ve seen that the need is greater than ever this year,” Fritz said. “The additional funding will help us serve more people.”

The additional money will bring the total amount of funding available for the winter portion of the program to $18.6 million statewide.

Eligibility for energy assistance is based upon income, the number of people per household and the

type of heating source.

LIHEAP assists with paying part of the energy bills of income-qualifying people. Eligible households could receive a minimum of $45 up to a maximum of $450, depending upon the type of heating source.

In addition, people who receive a utility shutoff notice also may qualify for assistance through the Energy Crisis Intervention Program (ECIP). Each energy assistance qualifying household can get up to $800 to help prevent disconnection of their utilities.

The programs run through March 31. During the winter heating assistance season last year, NECAC served more than 4,000 households.

Girl Scouts begin selling cookies January 10, offer online ordering and a new cookie variety Chocolaty, chewy, crunchy, peanut-buttery, sweet, minty, melt-inyour-mouth, buttery, tangy treats. Whichever word describes your favorite, get ready to use it—Girl Scout cookies are back.

Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri will kick off its annual Cookie Program on January 10. The program teaches girls about leadership and financial literacy, and gives the community a chance to support the organization and indulge in the delicious treats. This year,

NECAC President and Chief Executive Officer Don Patrick said the agency earned a 104 percent rating from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for its performance in administering the Section 8 Housing Rent-Assistance Program.

NECAC was one of 58 housing agencies in Missouri tested on the HUD annual Section-Eight Management Assessment Program (SEMAP) monitoring and evaluation system.

NECAC received extra credit points to boost the rating above 100 percent.

The agency has contracted with HUD for more than 35 years to administer the Section 8 program in Lewis, Lincoln, Macon, Marion, Monroe, Montgomery, Pike, Ralls, Randolph, St. Charles, Shelby and Warren counties and Cuivre Township in Audrain County. The cities of Hannibal and St. Charles are excluded because they have their own public housing authorities.

NECAC administers more than 2,600 HUD Rental Assistance Program and Shelter Plus Care rental vouchers in its service area.

The HUD SEMAP assessment tested NECAC

in 15 areas of its administration of the Section 8 program, including timely annual HUD Housing Quality Standards (HQS) inspections of the private houses, apartments and mobile homes used in the program; lease-up rates; payment standards; and

determination of the tenants’ adjusted income.

“This is HUD’s way of testing and monitoring which housing agencies and authorities are doing a good job of administering the programs in an efficient, effective manner,” Patrick said. “We’re very pleased. This reflects highly on the work quality of the NECAC Housing Rent-Assistance Program staff. They are providing services and making sure that tenants are receiving decent, affordable and safe housing, and that

customers will have two platforms through which they can order cookies: in-person and online.

In addition to the traditional order form, troops may also choose to use Cookie Club, a digital tool from Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri’s baker, Little Brownie Bakers. This engaging, secure, online tool will allow girls to set up customizable e-cards to send to friends and family asking if they would like to order. Customers use the tool to place their order, and then pay in-person

when the girl later delivers the cookies.

Customers who wish to order online but do not receive an e-card may contact Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri, and be matched with a participating troop. Troop leaders will then accompany Girl Scouts to deliver the cookies and collect payment.

This year’s cookie selection will include Thin Mints, Samoas, Tagalongs, Trefoils, DoSi-Dos and Savannah

Girl Scouts are dedicated to helping the community, and use the Cookie Program to continue this tradition.

Many troops will participate in Troop to Troop, in which customers can buy cookies to be donated to the Missouri USO. The Girl Scout Cookie Program is the largest girl-led enterprise in the country, engaging girls with five skills they will use throughout their lives: • Goal setting

Smiles. New this year are Rah-Rah Raisins, hearty oatmeal cookies with plump raisins and Greek-yogurt-flavored chunks. Cookies will sell for $4 per package.

Girl Scouts will take orders from January 10 to February 1, but will continue accepting additional orders until March 15.

Girl Scouts across eastern Missouri, from St. Louis to Putnam County in the north and Ste. Genevieve County in the south, will go door-to-door taking initial orders. Girls will begin delivering cookies February 25.

• Decision making • Money management • People skills • Business ethics Proceeds from the Cookie Program stay within the community and benefit local girls.

Troops work together to decide how to use their proceeds for everything from field trips to community service projects.

Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri also uses these funds to deliver programs for girls, provide training for adult volunteers and maintain its three local Girl Scout Camps.

“We welcome Holly to the NECAC team,” Patrick said. “She will continue to provide top-level professional assistance to clients in the four-county area she will cover.”

“I like working at NECAC because I like helping the public,” Robinson said.

In her new job, Robinson will assist clients under the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Section 8 Rent-Assistance program administered by NECAC. She

will also recruit private housing landlords, process and certify new tenants and do other clerical and administrative duties.

MU FRTI receives grant from Fireman’s Fund Insurance Co.’s Heritage Program The University of Missouri’s Fire and Rescue Training Institute (MU FRTI) recently received a grant from Fireman’s Fund Insurance Co. through its Heritage Program to support a firefighter training initiative in Missouri.

The partnership between MU FRTI and Fireman’s Fund will provide the institute’s Basic Firefighter course at no cost to four selected fire departments in Missouri. This course provides the basic skills to address the initial training needs of new firefighters, as well as the continuing refresher training needs of existing firefighters. This training will improve firefighter proficiency, resulting in a reduction in loss of lives and property.

Fireman’s Fund is a premier property and casualty insurance company.

It was founded in 1863 with a social mission to give a portion of its profits to support the fire service. Throughout its history, Fireman’s Fund has carried on a heritage of community involvement through volunteer programs and corporate giving. Today, Fireman’s Fund continues its founding mission to support firefighters through its award-winning Heritage Program.

Erin Vosbrink, of Fireman’s Fund Insurance Co., attended a meeting at MU FRTI in Columbia on Jan. 10 and presented an $8,000 check to the institute to support the training initiative.

The fire departments selected to host the training classes were carefully chosen by Fireman’s Fund and MU FRTI. The participating fire departments are Lincoln County Fire Protection District No. 1 in Troy; Cherokee Pass Volunteer Fire Department in Fredericktown; Chadwick Rural Fire Protection District in Chadwick; and King City Fire Department in King City.

Missouri’s 5.9 million citizens are served by an estimated 24,000 firefighters, of which approximately 80 percent are volunteers. According to Missouri’s Fire Incident Report System, firefighters responded to more than 375,000 incidents in 2013, which equates to one response every 1.4 minutes.

“This training initiative supported by the Fireman’s Fund Insurance Heritage Program provides essential training that will enable safer firefighters, safer citizens and safer communities in Missouri,” said Hedrick.

MU FRTI is charged with the responsibility of providing comprehensive continuing professional education training to Missouri’s fire service and emergency response personnel. The institute provides training to approximately 14,000 fire and emergency service first responders each year. For more information, go to www.mufrti. org.
