Trial of the century tried in Caldwell County
Big Bad Wolf Acquited
Gas leak closes
Braymer School
for few days
Caldwell County was host
to the trial of the century Friday, April 1, when the trial of
Miss P. Pig vs Big Bad Wolf of
Once Upon A Time was heard
by a jury of first graders.
The first grade of Hamilton
Elementary had the chance to
experience how court works
and be a part of the process.
Ten first graders were chosen
as the jury and got to sit in
the juror’s box. Presiding over
the case was Caldwell County
Judge Kanoy dressed in full
court robe. Prosecuting Attor-
According
to
Braymer
School officials, on the evening
of Tuesday, March 30, individuals at Braymer School thought
they smelled propane inside
the building. The propane supplier sent an employee to shut
off the propane into the building. A leak was discovered underground between the building and the tanks. School was
cancelled from Wednesday
through Tuesday. The entire
line from the propane tanks
into the building has since been
replaced.

ney Brady Kopek presented the
case against B.B. Wolf (that is
how he wanted to be known)
and the Defense Attorney was
Melinda Treoger.
Sheriff Jerry Galloway informed the court that he was
following foot prints from the
straw and stick houses and discovered Mr. Wolf outside the
third pigs brick house huffing
and puffing. He then placed
Mr. Wolf under arrest. Galloway said he had had run ins
with Wolf before.
Miss P. Pig stated to Prosecutor Kopek that B.B. Wolf
wanted to come inside her new
home of straw but she told him,
“Not by the hair on my chiny
chin chin.” So Mr. Wolf then
proceeded to huff and puff and
blew her house down. She then
ran to the second pig’s house
and the same thing happened.
She then ran to the third pig’s
house and he wanted to come
in but she wouldn’t let him so
he started huffing and puffing
again. That is when Sheriff Galloway showed up.
The Defense Attorney for
B.B. Wolf asked Miss Pig what
kind of work she did and Pig
replied she made bacon.
The defense then called B.B.
Wolf to the stand and asked how
he felt. He replied he had a bad
cold, bad sneezes and needed
some medicine. He saw a new
neighbor had moved down
the road and thought he might
get some medicine from them.
Wolf said he sneezed in front of
Pig’s house and it fell down. I
chased after Miss Pig to apolo-
gize but she kept running to the
second and third pig’s houses.
Wolf said he didn’t know what
was wrong with Miss Pig, he
doesn’t like pork and he didn’t
think he was scary.
Kopek asked him where
he worked and Wolf replied,
“I work at Piggly Wiggly as
a butcher.” Kopek asked if
he normally chased his new
neighbors around and Wolf
said, “No, I just needed some
medicine.”
Judge Kanoy then asked
the jury to find Big Bad Wolf
guilty or innocent of the charges against him. By a show of
hands the first grade jury found
the defendant, B.B. Wolf innocent of all charges by a vote of
three to nine. When Mr. Wolf
was leaving the stand he said,
“I told you I didn’t do it.”

Out of the Past in Hamilton
Letter to the Editor:
Hee-Haw Fundraiser for Disabled American Veterans
They came with tools and paint and cardboard and plastic and a purpose to
spend their Sunday afternoon building the stage sets rather than to sing and
practice their dance “Moves”. The Heartland Troupe is working hard to get
ready for their fundraiser for the Disabled American Veterans. The show is
scheduled for April 22nd, 23rd at 7 p.m. and 2 p.m. on April 24th at the Goodrich
Auditorium in Cameron. Work on the show and rehearsals are hitting a fever
pitch in the next 2 weeks and anyone interested in helping either backstage
or out front is encouraged to contact either Pat O’Connor or Peggy Sharp.
Benefits from this show will be donated to the Disabled American Veterans and
specifically will go to the Missouri department of DAV. As a group, the
Heartland Troupe donates a lot of time and energy each year to help our
veterans. We want our efforts to go where they will be used to help veterans
the best. The Disabled American Veterans organization is dedicated to keeping
the promise made to our veterans who fought for our freedom. According to
their website The organization provides more than 700,000 rides for
veterans attending medical appointments and assists veterans with more than
300,000 benefit claims annually. In 2015, DAV helped attain more than $4
billion in new and retroactive benefits to care for themselves and for
veterans, their families and survivors. For more information on DAV, check
out their website www.dav.org.
Two ways you can help us. One is through direct donations. The other is by
attending our program. We would love to see your smiling faces there at one
or more of our shows. If you can’t attend, please find another way to help
our veterans and their families. They deserve the very best that we have to
give them. Tickets are $7 in advance and $8 at the door. Children under 12
are $5. Tickets can be purchased by calling Ms. Peggy Sharp 632-2054 or Pat
O’Connor 575-2568.

BE ALERT FOR VACATION NIGHTMARES
The school year is nearing a close, and with that comes summer-vacation planning.
Location and cost are important considerations for families when planning vacations,
and it is tempting to look for what appears to be a great deal. The Missouri Attorney
General’s office wants you to be aware that scammers try to take advantage of the
vacation industry, so you need to take precautions when planning. Online classified
advertisements are great places for scammers to prey upon victims. Scammers hijack
listings for legitimate rental properties and make themselves the contact person. The
pictures online appear legitimate, because scammers take the real rental or real estate
listing and change the email address or other contact information, and then place the
modified ad on another site. The altered ad may even use the name of the person
who posted the original ad. The “renter” then requires you to pay for the full rental
or a large deposit up front. Scammers know you are looking for a good deal that is
too hard to pass up, so they will make the deal look very attractive. Or scammers may
pretend to be working with an agent or someone who is the “owner” of the property.
Once consumers wire money for the property, they may even receive keys to the
place, along with a confirmation number. Everything appears to be legitimate. It is
not until the consumer arrives at the destination do they realize their dream vacation
was a sham. The listing online was a scam, the landlord or owner did not receive
any money for your stay, and the property may not be available to rent, even if you
offered to pay again.
Rental scams can happen anywhere, but properties in popular vacation destinations, such as Florida, are typical targets.
Most vacation rentals go as planned, but consumers need to do their research:
Does the property exist and is it for rent? Are there customer reviews? Check for
complaints with the State Attorney General’s office, Better Business Bureau, or Chamber of Commerce.
Online ads are always risky. It is important to deal with reputable realtors, travel
agencies or vacation rental sites. Avoid anyone who wants you to wire them money.
Pay with a credit card; if there is a problem, you can challenge the charge.
Contact the Missouri Attorney General’s Consumer Protection Division at 800392-8222 for more information, to check for complaints and/or to file a complaint.

Leghorn hen lays an egg inside an egg. Another egg story-Forrest Feltis brought
two eggs to the Advocate-Hamiltonian office on Tuesday. There’s nothing unusual
about two eggs except that in this case one egg of normal size and perfect formation
with both a yolk and white was inside a larger a egg. The outside egg contained the
white, but no yolk.

This is the year in which Caldwell County celebrates its 150th birthday. It was organized as a separate county on Dec. 26, 1836, with Far West as the county seat at that
time. Up until then it was part of Ray County, as was Daviess County. It was named
for Capt. Matthew Caldwell, an Indian scout and hunter from Kentucky.
Two Braymer athletes, Chad McElwee and Tricia Peters were recently honored with
both being selected to the Northwest Missouri 1-A All-District basketball teams.
Loren Wright was awarded the rank of Eagle Scout March 9 at the Braymer United
Methodist Church.
April 4, 1996
Some 36-1/2 percent of Braymer voters showed up at the polls during Tuesday’s
election. Ed McBee narrowly defeated Frank Caselman by a two-vote margin, according to unofficial election returns.
A dedication service will be held at Tweedie-Murray American Legion Post 117 in
Braymer, to show the pictures that are on display of the town’s veterans who have
served from Desert Storm back to the Civil War.
The richness of the rain made me feel safe and protected; I have always
considered the rain to be healing—a blanket—the comfort of a friend.
Without at least some rain in any given day, or at least a cloud or two
on the horizon, I feel overwhelmed by the information of sunlight and
yearn for the vital, muffling gift of falling water. ~Douglas Coupland,
Anyone who says sunshine brings happiness has never danced in the
rain.

CDC test confirms Missouri
traveler infected with Zika
virus
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC) confirmed a case of Zika virus in a pregnant Missouri woman who had travelled to Honduras, a known
area of Zika transmission.
This is the second confirmed case of Zika virus infection reported in a Missouri resident. Nearly 80 percent
of people infected with the virus will have no symptoms. Typically, symptoms are mild and include fever,
rash, joint soreness and/or redness of eyes. International health officials are examining the connection between
pregnant women contracting the virus and a birth defect called microcephaly in their newborn infants. According to the CDC, babies with microcephaly often
have smaller head sizes and brains that might not have
developed properly.
According to the CDC, Zika virus has the potential
to be spread through a mosquito bite, through unprotected sexual contact, through blood transfusion and an

What would Caldwell County kids know about robots, ear notching pigs, making a cheese ball, horses or
making a birdfeeder? If you had an opportunity to be
at the third annual Caldwell County Spring 4-H Contest Day, March 20, at the Kingston Nazarene Church,
you would have been amazed at the project knowledge shared through demonstrations and speeches by
Caldwell County 4-H youth! 4-H members entered

COLUMBIA, Mo. – Drivers should pay special attention as
they travel rural roads and highways during spring planting
time, says University of Missouri Extension health and safety
specialist Karen Funkenbusch.
It’s the time of the year when the rural roads are filled with
tractors pulling farm equipment. Slow-moving farm equipment
presents special dangers for motorists, Funkenbusch says.
The most common accident occurs when a slow-moving
farm vehicle turns left. Large farm equipment needs to make
wide turns to line up with a gate or driveway.
Slow down on rural roads, she says. A car traveling 55 mph
requires 224 feet to stop on dry payment, assuming average
reaction time for braking. At 55 mph, it takes a car just five
seconds to close the length of a football field and overtake a
tractor moving 15 mph.
Stay back from farm equipment. Use caution and patience,
Funkenbusch says. Noise from the equipment’s motor and
tires may make it difficult for the driver to hear approaching
vehicles.
Dusk, sunrise and blinding sunlight compromise the driver’s vision. Keep an eye on traffic behind you that may also
attempt to pass. Pass only when the road is clear and vision is unobstructed. “Getting to your destination safely is the
main goal,” Funkenbusch says. “A few extra minutes may save
lives.”
Most farmers make every effort to be courteous and safe,
she says. Many will pull equipment off the roadway when road
shoulders permit to let motorists pass safely. Watch for hand
signals from the farmer.
Farmers may rush as they face weather-related deadlines.
They want to get into the fields to till and plant. Practice patience during the small and temporary inconvenience of your
food being produced, Funkenbusch says.
Funkenbusch also recommends that parents talk to teen
drivers in their household about additional dangers presented
during farming season. Hired farmhands also should review
safe practices.
Funkenbusch offers additional recommendations for farmers:
• When driving farm machinery on a road or highway, display a red flag measuring 12-14 feet high atop a pole so that
the machine can be seen even when hidden by a rise or curve
in the roadway.
• When rounding a curve, stay to the right-hand side of the
road as much as possible. Avoid soft or steep road shoulders,
which may cause the tractor to tip.
• Take extra precautions when driving in the early morning or early evening hours, when visibility is often impaired
by sun.
• If traffic lines up behind you, pull off or let traffic pass
when it is safe to do so.
• Railroad crossings, especially those without gates, present a special hazard. Never take a safe crossing for granted.
• Use hand signals, electronic signals or both to indicate
intentions to turn. Avoid wide turns.
• Turn your headlights on, but turn off rear spotlights,
which can be mistaken for headlights.
• Avoid the roads during rush hour, in bad weather and at
night.
• Use pilot cars if going a considerable distance, and hang
a flag out the window of these vehicles or use a slow-moving
vehicle emblem.

Open windows can cause
injuries, death for children
National Window Safety Week
is April 3-9.

COLUMBIA, Mo. – There’s nothing better on a spring day
than opening the windows and letting out the stale winter
air.
But unlocked windows can open up dangers for children.
University of Missouri Extension state health and safety specialist Karen Funkenbusch says spring is a good time to review
safety checks with family members, caregivers and others.
According to data from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety
Commission on children age 5 and under, falls from windows
result in about eight deaths per year and more than 3,300
emergency room visits.
Adult supervision remains your first line of defense against
accidents, Funkenbusch says. She offers these tips:
• Keep children away from open windows and unlocked
doors.
• Open the top sash of double-hung windows while keeping the bottom sash closed.
• Insect screens won’t hold the weight of your child. Don’t
rely on them to do so.
• Keep furniture away from windows. Curious little ones
like to climb on furniture and can fall through glass.
• Install limited-opening hardware that allows a window to
open only a few inches.
• Check window cords to prevent strangulation. If you have
young children in the home, use only cordless window coverings.
• Each year, check windows to see if they open easily. Paint,
dirt, weathering and shifting foundations can cause them to
stick. In an emergency, windows may provide your only exit
option.
• If you have windows that might be a last-resort escape,
plant shrubs where they will soften the blow from a fall.
The National Safety Council has designated April 3-9 as
National Window Safety Week. For more information, go to

Pigs are also known as swine or hogs.
They are fed a diet of corn and
soybean meal. The meat
they produce is called
pork. We eat pork
as bacon,
sausage,
pepperoni,
hot dogs, ribs
and ham. Pork
gives us protein
to help build
strong muscles
and help our bodies grow. Byproducts from pork can be
used to make adhesives, plastics, brushes, fertilizer and
leather.
Farmers raise chickens, turkeys, ducks and geese to give
us eggs, meat and feathers. We refer to these animals as
poultry.
Chickens are typically raised for meat and eggs. The two
types are laying hens and broilers. Laying hens are female and lay eggs every 24-26 hours. In an average year,
Missouri hens lay more than 2.6 billion eggs. Broilers
are rooster or hen chickens bred and raised for meat.
Turkeys are also a major Missouri commodity. Our state
consistently ranks in the top five for turkey production in
the United States.
Break an egg into a
Ziploc® bag and
seal the bag securely.
Allow students to view
the egg and identify
each part.
Milk is the #1 source
for calcium, potassium
and vitamin D.
Cattle, sheep and goats are ruminant animals. Their
stomach has four compartments. They chew food to
soften it before swallowing only to return that food to
their mouth and continue to chew it again later. This is
called chewing the cud. It is then swallowed the second
time and digested.
Dairy cows use the plants they eat to produce milk. Only
female cows can produce milk after they give birth to a
calf. An average dairy cow produces about 6-8 gallons
of milk per day. Milk is made into products like cheese,
yogurt, ice cream and butter.

infected pregnant woman
can pass Zika virus to her
fetus during pregnancy.
There is not currently a
vaccine for Zika virus. The
best prevention measure is
to avoid mosquito bites in
areas with ongoing transmission. There have been
no reported cases of Zika
virus contracted from a
mosquito bite in Missouri.
Ways to avoid mosquito
bites while outdoors include wearing EPA-registered insect repellent with
DEET, wearing pants and
long sleeves, or remaining
indoors in an air conditioned environment.
The CDC is recommending pregnant women to avoid traveling to
Zika-affected areas which
includes countries ranging from Mexico into the
Caribbean, Central America and South America.
Since the beginning of
the year, DHSS has regularly updated health care
providers and the public
about Zika virus in addition to coordinating the
approval of Missourians
for testing by the CDC.
Please conslt CDC resources for a listing of all
areas and other information about Zika virus:
