Storytellers
returning
to Bethany
Area residents who were
entertained by the band of storytellers who visited Bethany last
winter will be treated to a repeat
performance this weekend when
the River and Prairie Storyweavers return to town for their 22nd
annual Chicken Festival.
The Storyweavers, based in
the Kansas City area, last year
selected Bethany as the location
of their storytelling workshop
for a two-year run. They will be
returning for the last of their performances starting on Thursday
culminating in a free entertainment event at 7 p.m. on Saturday night, Jan. 17, at the Bethany
Community Center.
By that night, the Storyweavers will have put on performances
to hundreds of young children at
school assemblies at Cainsville,
Princeton and Bethany.
The ‘Weavers are practitioners
of the nearly-lost art of spinning
tales from ghost stories to comedy
routines. Last year, the River and
Prairie Storyweavers performed
at 12 different sites for about 400
persons ranging in age from preschoolers to residents of nursing
homes.
The Storyweavers will hold a
total of 15 storytelling events. The
Bethany Public Library will be
coordinating the group’s visit to
Bethany.
The 50 storytellers taking part
in the visit to Bethany will be
based at the Family Budget Inn.
The group will visit the Bethany
Care Center, the Harrison County
Genealogical Society, the Harrison Community Hospital, Unified
Services, the Harrison County
Senior Center and Crestview.
An ensemble from the South
Harrison Band will warm up the
crowd attending Saturday night’s
final performance at the Bethany
Community Center. Music will
begin at 6:30 p.m. followed by
the Storyweavers who will be presenting their farewell event at 7
p.m.

Student representative: South Harrison Student Council representative Jacob
Addison began learning the ropes of the Board of Education as a non-voting student representative last Thursday night. Jacob was elected by follow members of
the student body to serve as its representative on the school board. While he will
not be able to vote on school issues, he will be invited to present student views on
various matters. He will be asked to serve as a liaison between the school board
and the student body.
Brick sales to benefit
middle school project
South Harrison began a campaign
this week to raise funds for a matching grant to pay for some of the costs
of building the South Harrison Middle
School.
The Fitzgerald Family Foundation
has offered to match up to $100,000
to underwrite the $4.7 million middle
school, which was approved by voters
in November.
The school began selling bricks at
a cost of $50 apiece to be placed in the
breezeway between the high school
and the middle school. The bricks will
recognize contributors to the matching
grant. The bricks went on sale Monday
night at the South Harrison Invitational
Basketball Tournament.
Superintendent Dennis Eastin
reported to the school board Thursday
night that the brick sales will continue
until March 31.
Preliminary survey work has been
completed on the middle school site at
the north end of the high school building.
“We are encountering a problem
with the electrical lines,” Eastin told
the school board.
The district’s architects, Ellison
& Auxier, will come to the February
meeting of the school board to present
the full building plans for the school.
The board will hold a public hearing prior to the February board meeting
on an opportunity for local investors to
purchase certificates used to finance the
middle school. The school district has
been meeting with representatives of
Edward Jones to discuss the sale of the
certificates to provide a portion of the
financing for the project.
In other business, the board authorized the school to advertise for bids for
the North Central Career Center’s parking lot project.
The board completed an evaluation
of the early childhood and Parents as
Teachers programs.
Elementary
Principal
Natalie
Arnold reported that the school will
host the countywide spelling bee on
Feb. 12.
High school Principal Mark Forster reported that an archery and air
rifle curriculum will begin at the high
school.
Eastin said the MSBA School Board
Recognition Week will be observed
locally from Jan. 25-31. Certificates
were presented to board members
C.F. Rainey and Terry Daniel, who
have served five years; Jack McCall
and Caleb Guernsey, four years; Mark
Plymell, nine years; Chad Smith, three
years, and Nick Fitzgerald, one year.
In the executive meeting, the board
accepted the resignation of elementary
teacher Ann Barnett at the end of the
school year and extended Eastin’s contract as superintendent by one year.

The sun may break the monotony,
making an appearance on Thursday
and Friday for mostly sunny skies and
highs soaring from the upper 30s on
Thursday to the upper 40s on Friday.
While the warmth remains, the sun
will not, and we go back to partly
cloudy skies through the weekend.

The city of Bethany received word
on Monday morning that its application for the “Safe Routes to School
Sidewalks” project has been selected
to receive a $216,026 grant through
the MoDOT Transportation Alternative
Funds Program.
According to the project application
submitted by city administrator Jan
Hagler on Nov. 14, 2014, “The city of
Bethany has planned to begin the rejuvenation of its sidewalks by providing a
central loop around the community that
all other sidewalks can connect to in the
future. The connection will increase the
walking accessibility to schools, parks,
retail businesses, and health services
for all members of the community.”
Per the city’s application, the new
sidewalks will extend south of Beekman Street on 24th Street by the South
Harrison Preschool facility, to Vandivert Street and then east to 25th Street.
At Beekman and 15th Streets, the sidewalk is planned to go north by Prentiss
Park to Miller Street. The sidewalk will
also go north of the Elementary School
on 22nd Street from Monson to Miller.
Obtaining this grant money is the
next step in the continuation of a project
started with the MoDOT Safe Routes
to School program, which awarded
funding to the city of Bethany in Feb.
2013. The initial grant in the amount of
$199,000 made possible the first phase
of new sidewalks, which were installed
around South Harrison Elementary in
the fall of 2014.
MoDOT says the next step will be
authorizing federal funds.

Safer sidewalks coming soon: The
$216,026 grant the city of Bethany
was awarded this week will go toward
sidewalks like this one on 15th Street,
replacing damaged concrete and pouring paths where there have been none,
continuing the project started in 2013.
Senator introduces
legislation eliminating
township government
State Senator Dan Hegeman, R-12th
district, plans to introduce legislation in
the General Assembly allowing Sullivan County to vote on eliminating
township government.
Although Hegeman’s bill only
applies to one county, nine other northern Missouri counties currently have
the township form of government. They
include Harrison, Caldwell, Livingston, Daviess, Grundy, Mercer, Gentry,
DeKalb and Nodaway counties.
Harrison County voters previously
rejected a proposal to abandon townships in favor of the county form of
government. The county’s 20 township
boards are responsible for maintaining
their roads and bridges. But, in recent
years, some of the townships have
found it difficult to find candidates to
run for the township board, and several of those governmental units have
limited financial resources to purchase
equipment and maintain roads. But
some local residents believe that townships are the best way to keep local
control over government.
Presiding
Commissioner
Jack
Hodge said he is unaware of any movement locally to eliminate the township
form of government.
“There is always talk, but nothing
actively moving on it,” he said.
Votes on township issues usually
come up through the initiative petition
process. But Hageman’s bill would
allow Sullivan County to take advantage of a state statute that allows the
legislative process to be used.
Hegeman said Sullivan County
voters already are involved in a petition
drive to place the township issue on the
April ballot.
Hodge said the present Harrison
County Commission has not been
involved in the township issue.
“It would be new territory for us,”
he said.

Restocking the food pantry: Bethany City Hall personnel unload boxes of canned soup at the Harrison County Food
Pantry. The soup was purchased at Hy-Vee with proceeds from the Mayor’s Christmas Tree. Some 700 cans of soup were
delivered at the pantry last week. Delivering the food were, from the left, City Clerk Nita Schroff, code officer Jacob Doll
and City Administrator Jan Hagler.
The Harrison County 4-H judging
team’s first-ever trip to a national judging contest proved to be a memorable
experience for team members over the
past weekend.
The Harrison County team placed
14th overall in competition with some
of the best teams from across the country at the National Western Roundup
Judging Contest.
The Harrison County team qualified
for the national contest in Fort Collins,
Colo., after placing second overall in
the state judging event in September.
At the National Western Roundup,
Cooper Sadowsky was fifth high overall as an individual, scoring second in
sheep, sixth in reasons, ninth in swine
and 10th in cattle. Tanner Daugherty
scored just out of the top 10 rankings.
“This was a very close scoring and a
well run contest with good stock,” said
team leader Teela Sadowsky.
Adam Carrothers, the contest coach,
said he was pleased with the team’s
overall scores in Colorado.
A team from Mt. Vernon, Mo., won
the FFA judging contest at the National
Western Roundup.
The team had a fun day on Thursday before attending the workout day
and long contest days on Friday and
Saturday.
“They had a good learning experience and are grateful to everyone who
has supported them,” Teela Sadowsky
said.
The team will be traveling to
the Iowa Beef Expo in February for
another contest.

The hospital intersection and
the Bethany public square are
the two most dangerous driving
locations in the city of Bethany,
according to Chief of Police Gary
Bullock.
Mixed results have followed
the initiation of Bethany’s city
cigarette tax of 3 cents per package in July 1974. During the sixmonth period the city has received
$11,548.47 from the tax which has
been credited to the city road fund.
The average monthly tax receipts
of a little less than $2,000 reached
a peak in August with a total of
$2,064.88. The cigarette tax then
gradually declined each month
to $1,647 in December, with the
exception of October when the
total tax was $2,211.49.

Governor and legislators offer
divergent views on major issues
by Missouri Statehouse News
On the opening day of the Missouri legislature’s 2015 session,
Republican legislative leaders and
the state’s Democratic governor
offered contrasting views about
two of the major issues before
state —Medicaid expansion and
a new NFL football stadium in
St. Louis.
At a news conference before
the start of the session, Gov.
Jay Nixon expressed confidence
there still was life in his proposal
to expand Medicaid health care
coverage to adults earning up to
138 percent of the federal poverty
level.
“I don’t think it’s a lost cause
at all,” Nixon said. “Since we’ve
been here last year, you’ve seen
a cavalcade of states in which
you have Republican governors,
Republican legislatures moving
forward on Medicaid that said
they wouldn’t.”
Nixon specifically mentioned
Indiana, Utah, Alabama, and
Tennessee in saying the “political
lines have clearly changed since
last year” on Medicaid expansion.
However, Senate President Pro
Tem Tom Dempsey, R-St. Charles
County, had a simple answer when
asked if Medicaid expansion was
a possibility. “No,” Dempsey said.
“I think elections matter.”
Instead of expanding Medicaid, Dempsey talked about changing the structure and coverage of
Medicaid. “We’re going to have
serious discussions about reforms
that we can make to better use
existing resources to address the
quality of care, the affordability
of care, and the access to care,”
he said.
About building a new stadium
for the St. Louis Rams, Nixon said
he was not taking off the table
the idea of spending government
money to build the facility.
Nixon said he thought it was
important that the facility be
government owned so it could
be used for purposes other than
just football “so we...can use it
for multiple types of venues and
multiple types of events.”
Nixon said one of his priorities
is keeping the St. Louis Rams in
the state. “St. Louis is an NFL
city,” Nixon said.
But he also repeated principles that he said must be part
of any new Rams agreement.

Missouri is a beef-cow state.
The Governor’s Beef Summit,
Jan. 5, drew attention to that
cow advantage. Gov. Jay Nixon
opened a far-and-wide discussion
with a challenge to bring more
dollars back to Missouri’s 1.7
million-head beef cow herd.
Over 250 people from all
parts of the beef industry met to
discuss their future. Odds were
against drawing a crowd. It was
the first Monday of 2015, with
polar express wind chills and
short notice. Attendance was
astounding.
It was the best beef meeting
in years.
Missouri has regained No. 2
in cow numbers in the nation.
Beef cows and their calves -- and
forages they eat -- were the major
income makers for Missourians
for decades. High-priced soybeans
bumped them aside. Cows and
grass remain Missouri’s advantage.
For soil-savings alone, Missourians farming on hills should
think cows and grass first. They
keep soil under agriculture. (This
is “Year of the Soil.”)
Several economists brought
data to the gathering. With the
number of calves born here, any
small increase multiplies millions
of times when fully adopted.
They pointed out it is more
than numbers. Quality adds dollars as well as pounds.

The television commentator made
the point that women and religious
minorities in Middle East feel on a
daily basis the types of repugnant acts
that would be condemned in every
civilized society. There are countless stories of women being stoned
to death for removing their hijab.
ISIS beheaded Christians and other
members of religious minorities in
Syria who would not convert to their
religion. Many of these acts shocked
moderate Moslems who say that the
militants are perverting the teachings
of Muhammad.
In Nigeria, the murderous bands
surrounding the Boko Haram movement have made the kidnapping of
young girls as sex slaves a part of their
Islamic religion.
The outrage over the murder of the
cartoonists in Paris hopefully will lead
to a united campaign to combat this
scourge. How can European nations
tolerate the radical preachers exhorting
young Moslems to violence at home
and abroad? Governments across the
world suddenly realize that more needs
Our own
views
to be done to improve security and
to more closely monitor the radical
groups, especially militants who travel
to Syria and elsewhere to fight with
ISIS.
It is time to realize that we are in a
life and death struggle with groups that
want to destroy our way of life and our
freedoms.

If there was any doubt that radical Islam is in a state of war with
civilized society, the proof was offered
last week when terrorists invaded
the office of the satirical magazine
Charlie Hebdo and murdered several
members of the staff. They executed
a police officer, who also happened to
be Muslim, on the street outside the
magazine and then killed four hostages
at a kosher grocery story.
The point was made on a recent TV
talk show that it was the murder of
journalists that has finally awoken the
public to the dangers posed by ISIS,
Al Qaida and the other militant Islamic
groups that are attempting to create a
worldwide caliphate that would subjugate millions to their intolerant form
of society.

“Those principles are protecting
taxpayers, creating jobs, making
significant private investment,
and cleaning up and revitalizing
under-utilized areas,” Nixon said.
“This is a long and interesting
process.”
Republican legislative leaders
have not expressed enthusiasm
about spending taxpayer dollars
for a new stadium for the Rams.
“I doubt if there’s an appetite to do public money for [a
new stadium],” said Senate GOP
Leader Richard, R-Joplin. “When
we have education issues and
highway issues, I’m not sure the
appetite is there to support that.”
One day earlier, Richard was
blunt about the chances of government funding for the facility.
“Zero” was his response when
asked to rate the chances on a
scale of one to 10.
On that same day, the Senate’s
president pro tem—Sen. Tom
Dempsey, R-St. Louis County—
said the stadium was not at the
top of his list of priorities for the
legislative session.

Rising beef prices favor
change. Calf prices are high, going
higher every week. (Except for
year-end holidays.) Feeder calves
sold for up around $3 a pound.
Adding an extra pound per calf
adds millions of dollars.
At the end, I heard a consensus
growing about boosting gains by
100 pounds per calf. Multiply
million dollar increases by 100. A
great start on Show-Me economic
development.
That is actually small potatoes
compared to the potential. Many
herds already bring more than
100-pound advantages back to
Missouri.
MU developed proven protocols to add value for every
cow-calf farmer. Show-Me-Select
calving-ease heifers cut death
losses. More live calves make
a difference. At the same time,
genetic quality shoots up.
Initial talk focused on bringing
feedlots and packing plants back
to the state. That’s been a perennial favorite since those went
away decades ago. Packing plants
followed the cattle.
Feedlots moved to the High
Plains for weather reasons, among
others. To feed cattle in mud and
cold takes buildings. That hurts
the economic advantage of local
feeding.
Beef businessmen pointed out
risks of starting anew here. Packing plants aren’t lucrative busi-
nesses. The U.S. has too many,
so plants are closing. Recent new
additions ended in million-dollar
losses.
However, there is need for
smaller slaughter plants for local
specialty niche markets. It will
be hard to find places for large
economic-size feedlots or packing plants. Not in my backyard,
people will say.
Missouri cow herds and their
grass hold the environmental
advantage. And they certainly
hold the quality beef genetic
advantage over all other states.
Beside beef improvements,
we’ve learned to grow non-toxic
fescue that adds almost a pound of
gain a day on calves. Getting rid
of toxins boosts conception rates
in cows, giving more calves from
the same-size cow herd.
Biggest boosts come from
improved heifer genetics. A herd
can be upgraded from Select to
Prime, our market of the future.
Missouri already outperforms
all states in making Prime beef.
Packer premiums of $500 per head
are a bonus.
The Missouri Recipe is available from MU Extension livestock
specialists. A powerful point at the
Summit urged Extension to hire
more livestock specialists.
We need not finish and slaughter here. Those skills are close by
for hire. We must keep control of
our calves and reap the dollars on

what we produce. We know how.
We must become sharper business
people.
When QB program steers go
to Kansas the Missourians retain
ownership. Those dollars come
right back to Missouri. The state
economy grows with those dollars
in local banks.
The Governor’s Beef Summit
gave a resounding wakeup call.
Missouri can profit from what we
know and grow. It’s economically
and environmentally sound. Missouri Department of Agriculture
leadership shines bright.

Dan Hegeman takes on new
role in governmental service
It’s been 12 years since I was
last in the Missouri Legislature,
having served in the Missouri
House of Representatives from
1999 to 2002. But on Wednesday, Jan. 7, I was honored to
return to our state Capitol and be
sworn in as the new State Senator for Missouri’s 12th Senatorial District.
I was happy to be joined in
the Senate Chamber by my wife,
Fran; children, Joseph, Heidi and
Joshua; Hannah Catterton and
her husband, Colten, of Cosby;
my sister and her husband,
Nancy and Paul Langemach and
my nephew, Mark Langemach of
Savannah.
In addition to my family, a
number of folks from throughout
the 12th Senate District came
down to take part in the inaugural festivities for Missouri’s 98th
General Assembly.
But now that the inaugural
festivities are finished, I am
anxious to get “back in the
saddle” engaging in the legislative process and representing the
constituents of the 12th Senate
District. Though the Senate adopted
temporary rules, there are still
a number of procedural items
remaining before we can begin
committee work. I expect to
receive my committee assignments in the coming days, after
the adoption of permanent rules
by the Senate. Once we have
adopted rules and assigned committees the Senate can really get
into the thick of things and start
moving bills through the legislative process.
As your state senator, I am
looking forward to developing
greater economic opportunities
in northwest Missouri, continuing to streamline government,
and working to promote the
infrastructure needs of the 15

Senate District. I believe that
attracting and retaining jobs
is of the utmost importance to
the livelihood of the citizens of
the 12th Senate District and to
our state and local economies. While I do not believe government creates jobs, I believe in

As the 2015 session progresses, I encourage and look

Missouri land values to remain stable
Submitted photo
Greenhand initiation: South Harrison FFA members attended the Greenhand Motivational Conference
in Trenton. The group toured the NCMC Barton Farm Campus and visited with college professors and
assistants. The students interacted with state and area FFA officers and learned about opportunities in
FFA and set goals for themselves.
Pictured, from left to right, are: Front row, state FFA officers; middle row, Brittney Myers, Keagan Madison, Jacob Starmer, T.J. Williams, Ethan Coleman, Casy Tharp and Payton Gentry. Back row, Kenzie
Williams, Emily Creasey, Bailey Mehrhoff, Wyatt Ellis, Noah York, Brylee Bowles and Fayne Hamilton.
Low property tax rates—a third
of the national average—play a
hand in keeping Missouri land
values stable, says University of
Missouri Extension economist
Joe Parcell.
He predicts that land values
may soften briefly as commodity
prices drop. However, low interest rates, low taxes and growing
consumer confidence will keep
prices steady, Parcell says.
Missouri’s average property
tax rate between 1951 and 2012
was 0.12 percent. During the
same period, Missouri average
growth rate for land values was
6.6 percent, above the growth rate
for adjoining states.

New ways to volunteer in your community and beyond
If you want to help a local
non-profit organization, but are
strapped for time, making a difference is easier than ever. In
fact, there are a variety of new
ways you can make an impact in
your community even from your
computer or mobile device, as a
“virtual volunteer.”
Go Viral
You’ve probably heard about
the recent ALS “Ice Bucket Challenge.” The movement not only
raised awareness about an important cause, it also raised an impressive sum of money.
The viral success of this campaign means that good deed doers
can expect similar projects to crop
up down the line. If all you need is
an internet connection and a few
spare minutes, then most anyone
can help raise awareness for a
cause they’re passionate about.
Be on the lookout for the next
opportunity or get creative and
start your own campaign.
Grassroots Efforts, Online
As an individual, you may
not have the means to bestow a
large donation upon your favorite
charitable organization, but that
doesn’t mean you can’t help out
in a big way.
One example is the annual
Tom’s of Maine, “50 States for
Good” program, whereby individuals were each able to nominate a non-profit that’s making
a difference for people and the
planet. This year, the company
is rewarding an organization
in every state and the District
of Columbia with $10,000 in
funding, providing more than
$500,000 for grassroots commu-
nity projects. To view past winners, visit www.50StatesforGood.
com.
“Those inspired by the work
of a non-profit have been able to
say thanks and show their support
through the program,” says Susan
Dewhirst, goodness programs
manager at Tom’s of Maine.
Show Support, Remotely
This year, the Tom’s of Maine
“50 States for Good” program is
also spotlighting a project that
aims to revitalize a distressed
park in Detroit. Anyone can show
support with just a few clicks by
helping decide what new items
should go into the park, such
as a swing set, art installation,
upcycled benches or a basketball
court, among other items. Like,
share and post your social support for the project by visiting
www.50StatesforGood.com and
follow the park’s progress at www.
Twitter.com/TomsofMaine.
Make Connections Online
One-on-one tutoring is one
of the most useful ways to help
children succeed academically.
But traditional face-to-face tutoring requires more than just the
one productive hour of instruction since the commute is a
factor as well. Look into online
tutoring programs that eliminate that hurdle. For example,
TutorChatLive recruits volunteers
to remotely tutor underserved
students.
Even if you’re busy, new avenues for giving back are making
it possible for anyone to make a
positive contribution.

also has kept land values high.
Rent-to-value has been above 6
percent, a full percentage point
above the national average, Parcell said.
“There are a number of positive factors that are likely to support Missouri agricultural land
values,” he said. “The economy
is picking up steam, which stimulates consumer discretionary
spending. Interest rates remain
low, and the stock market increase
has led to increased consumer
confidence. This is the perfect
recipe for seeing non-agriculturerelated interest for Missouri farmland.”
Cash rent for land is changing as well, said MU Extension
agricultural business specialist
Karisha Devlin. Rising livestock
prices pushed pastureland values
up faster than cropland in 2014,
reversing usual growth rates.
There are also changes due
in part to the growing number of
landowners who don’t live on the
land. Absentee landowners may
be two generations removed from
the farm. They may have fewer
emotional ties to the land, little
understanding of farm issues and
see the land only as an investment.
Changing commodity and livestock prices are driving interest in
flex leases and cash agreements,
Devlin said.
In the past, landowners may
Sniffles and flu are not the only
afflictions of winter. Many people
find that the dark and cold days
can impact their mood. In fact,
seasonal affective disorder (SAD)
affects approximately 10 million
Americans, and another 10 to 20
percent of the public may have
mild SAD, according to Psychology Today.
Coupled with busy lives, the
winter blues can put extra strain
on one’s relationships and psyche.
Luckily there are simple lifestyle
changes you can make to help
lead a happier, less stressful life
during winter.
Healthy Habits
Feeling blue can be compounded by unhealthy habits.
Limit alcohol and get plenty of
rest to feel your best. Eat foods
beneficial to brain health, such as
those that contain omega 3 fatty
acids.
Be sure to exercise daily,
as physical activity can boost
serotonin and dopamine levels in
your brain. While the days may
be shorter, try to take advantage
of the sunlight each day with a
brisk walk at lunch -- remember
to bundle up though, a winter cold
is never fun! Get Cozy
One of the causes of winter
blues is light deprivation. If you
have a fireplace, counteract the
shorter days by adding a fire to
your daily routine.
Dinner, reading, relaxing,
watching TV, and even working
can seem more enjoyable by
adding the light and warmth of a
fire, say the statistics. Indeed, 89
percent of people say having a fire
is extremely important, important
or somewhat important to their
wintertime quality of life, according to a recent survey jointly conducted by the American Institute
of Stress (AIS) and Duraflame,
which creates fire-related products, including fire logs and fire
starters.
A fire can offer stress relief,
creating an opportunity to gather
friends and family in a relaxing
ambiance. Whether you’re alone
or with a group, consider making
it a hassle-free experience by
using a manufactured fire log,
which produces robust, bright
flames and burns significantly
cleaner and more efficiently than
a typical wood fire. Take a Breather
Consider setting aside more
time each day to mentally and
physically recuperate. Nearly 60
percent of people take an hour
a day or less to wind down and
relax, according to the AIS and
Duraflame survey, and more probably should.
Try this quick stress relief
exercise, “The Quieting Reflex,”
recommended by Dr. Daniel L.
Kirsch, president of AIS:
• Smile inwardly with your
eyes and mouth, relaxing your
facial muscles. Think of something heartwarming or amusing
while you do this. This starts to
counter stress immediately.
• Next think of the expression:
“Alert Mind, Calm Body” to
counter negative thoughts.
• Slowly take a deep breath
while visualizing it as warm air
coming in from pores, or holes
opening up in the bottom of your
feet and slowly moving up into
your lungs.
have based cash rents on what
others pay. Be leery of “coffee
shop talk” as a guide, and use
mathematical equations recommended by MU Extension.
Devlin said good cropland
averaged an estimated $4,717 per
acre in 2014. Pastureland values
ranged from $1,751 to $2,672,
up 7.2 percent from 2013 due to
demand caused by higher beef
prices. Timberland was worth
$1,820 per acre, and hunting and
recreation land was valued at
$1,710.
The simplest rule is, “The
best land is still the best value,”
she says.

• While you exhale, visualize
a wave of warmth and relaxation
slowly flowing through your body
exiting through your feet, like the
spreading warmth you feel when
sitting by the fireplace.
You can’t control the seasons,
but by being proactive, you can
get back to enjoying your winters.

Haven’t had too much difficulty
with the weather. Had some
snow, of course, but nothing to
get very excited about. The temperatures have been a little low
now and then, too, but not for an
extended amount at one time. To
paraphrase what my son, Steve,
often says, “We have been very
blessed.” And indeed we have. But on to the news.
Our thoughts and prayers go out
to Bill Weable and family with
the passing of Bill’s wife, Ethlyn
Weable. We send our deepest
sympathy to Bill.
Andover Community Club met
at the home of Liz Carpenter on
Friday evening. Those enjoying
good food and visiting were Rex
and Barbara Waller, Lucy and
Larry Baxter, Lorrie Long, Jackie
Snethen, and Liz. The next gathering will be at the home of Rex
and Barbara Waller on Friday,
February 6 at 6:30 p.m.
Wallace and Doris Lane had
a very pleasant visit with Larry
and Linda Wilcoxson on Sunday
afternoon.
Sandy Osborn said she has been
enjoying her grandchildren. She
babysat them on New Year’s Eve. Sandy saw the New Year in, but
she didn’t say that she and her
grandchildren saw the New Year
in together.
Jack Hutton had a couple of
his friends, Blake McBroom and
Blake’s cousin, and Sarah Jakes
over to help see the New Year in.
The holidays, Christmas and
seeing the New Year in, have
passed, so it is back to the regular grind. The students attended
school on Tuesday, then school
was called off on Wednesday
because of extremely cold
weather. Definitely have to keep
an eye on the weather this time
of the year. It sure can have an
impact on daily life.
Dana Wilcoxson and Lonny
Lane stopped by on December
30th to visit Doris and Wallace
Lane.
Have a good week, be kind to
each other, and Christmas and
New Year’s Day have come and
gone, but we do wish you all the
best as we deal with 2015!
P.S. Haven’t heard anything
from Jackie or Philinda Snethen
lately, so I can only assume they
are getting along okay.

dren visited her Thursday evening.
Alberta VanVactor, Council
Bluffs, Iowa, came Friday evening
and spent the weekend with her
mother, Bonnie Magee, returning
home Sunday evening.
We have had lots of cold and
gloomy days so far in January of
2015. That sunshine sure looks
good on the occasional appearances and hopefully will stick
around longer.
My daughter, Pat, asked me
if I remembered what happened
35 years ago. I had forgotten,
but she was in school NWMSU,
Maryville and her Dad and I were
both working there as custodians. We all came home on Friday night
in a big snow storm. We made
it part way up our driveway and
got stuck in the heavy snow and
had to walk the rest of the way
to our home. We were feeling
very fortunate to make it that far
as the roads were getting very
bad. There was a place west of
Stanberry and another just east
of Maryville, near what was then
Mt. Alverno, where there was oneway traffic for several days due to
the heavy snow drifts. Not as bad
as the blizzard that came in just
before Christmas in 1961, but one
of several winter storms that many
of us still recall. I remember one
that came in April too. Other parts
of the country have been pretty
hard hit this winter and I hope our
luck holds and we don’t have any
really bad storms.
I have reviewed my January
calendar and sadly had five birthdays and an anniversary to mark
through this month. If anyone
sees a name I have missed, let
me know,
Happy birthdays to Paula York,
Donna Graham, Chris Magee,
Teresa Boda on Jan. 15; Kathy
Boulting, Billy Luther, Sue Stevens Elliott on the 16th; Leland
Graham, Seth Peters on the 17th;
Jeremy Allen on the 19th; John
Magee on the 20th. Brian Magee,
Junior Scott, Corey Coleman,
Steve Easton on the 21st.
Happy anniversary to Everett
and Evelyn McCampbell who will
celebrate their 68th anniversary on
Jan. 20 and anyone else celebrating their big day this week.
Have a good week, everyone. Drive carefully and stay warm
and healthy. Remember our sick
and sorrowing friends in your
thoughts and prayers . Hope to
have more news next week, so
remember, your news items are
always welcome.

Mystery meal or culinary delight
By Janet Hackert, Regional
Nutrition and Health Education
Specialist, University Extension It is time to eat. You open the
fridge and find some brown rice
or a small piece of meat or some
leftover vegetables or (fill in the
blank) … or all of the above. How
can this possibly become a meal?
Here are some tips on converting
a mystery meal of leftovers into a
culinary delight.
Start by considering what you
have available. To minimize the
grocery bill and for food safety’s
sake, check the leftovers first.
Then see what is on hand in the
pantry, refrigerator and freezer.
Look for interesting ways to
combine what is available. Choose
a vegetable or combination of
vegetables. Fresh, frozen and
canned are good sources of many
nutrients.
Add a starch. It could be a
starchy vegetable like potatoes or
dried beans, or a grain like brown
rice, whole wheat pasta or couscous. Include a little meat, fish,
or eggs for some protein. Dairy
foods can be included to flavor the
meal or as part of a sauce. Keep in
mind that sauces can be ready-toeat sauces like spaghetti sauce, or
easy to create sauces like cottage
cheese or stewed tomatoes.
Next look for the spices, sauce
or condiments that will make the
ordinary extraordinary. Sometimes all it takes is to change up the
seasonings of food to create a new
and interesting flavor with familiar mundane foods. University of
Missouri Extension has several
publications available online at
http://extension.missouri.edu
or by contacting the local MU
Extension office. For example,
MU Extension publication N362
Herbs and Spices describes which
herbs and spices complement
which types of food. On http://
missourifamilies.org the handout
called “Help for Hypertension—
A Dietary Guide” gives recipes
for salt-free herb blends such as
Chinese Five-Spice, Italian Blend,
Curry Blend, and Mexican Chili
Blend, to name just a few. And if
the specific ingredient needed is
“In a Pinch: Ingredient Substitution” is a helpful guide.
Another option is to add a little of
this and a little to that to a pizza,
macaroni and cheese or other
casserole or pancakes. “The New
Missouri Mix”, MU Extension
publication GH1055, has some
great recipes for easy, inexpensive
sides to dress up the meal. It starts
with a basic baking mix then gives
recipes for such possibilities as
biscuits, cobbler, pancakes, or
muffins.
For more information on
making a mystery meal into a
culinary delight or any other topic,

Public Notices
(Editor’s Note: Public Notice advertising plays
a unique role both in American History and in the
process by which this country’s democracy is
preserved. Its one premise is that people must
be informed if they are to govern themselves
competently. Public Notice advertising first came
into being with the Congress of 1792. That body,
recognizing its responsibility to the people, required
the Postmaster General to advertise for bids for
the construction of new post offices. From that
inauspicious beginning to the complex publication
requirements in federal, state and local laws today,
government officials have come more and more to
understand their obligations to inform the public
through Public Notice advertising. Newspapers
over the years have been the vehicle by which these
obligations have been fulfilled. They will continue
to be as long as the public demands that it be informed frequently and by the best means possible.)
Notice of Annual Meeting
Notice is hereby given of the annual
stockholders meeting of the Bethany
Printing Company will be held at the
Bethany printing Company office,
located at 202 North 16th Street,
Bethany, Missouri at 3:30 p.m. on
Wednesday, January 28, 2015, for
the purpose of electing a board of directors for the ensuing year, and such
other business as may properly come

Sewer plant work may begin this summer Bethany man
City Administrator Jan Hagler a proposal to install new light Deere, leading into the develreported on several upcoming poles on the entrance and exit opment area. The city has until hurt in wreck
projects during a talk last Thursday at the Bethany Rotary Club
meeting.
Bethany residents may finally
see some dirt turned on the new
wastewater treatment plant,
approved by voters three years
ago.
The sewer plant, which will
replace the 1970s facility near
Big Creek, has been going
through the grant and loan process since a revenue bond issue
was approved by voters on April
3, 2012. Engineering work on the
plant has been completed and the
city will begin calling for bids in
February.
The $6.3 million wastewater
plant will meet current EPA regulations.
Hagler said a groundbreaking
on the new plant could occur in
the summer or fall.
The new Fargo Enterprises
plant is expected to open this
week in the renovated Lambert
headgear plant on 41st Street in
Bethany. The wire harness manufacturing plant has so far hired
10 persons and will add ten more
employees with a few weeks.
Jeremy VanMeter, manager of
the plant, said more than 100
persons will be employed at the
plant within the next year.
The city was waiting for word
from MoDOT on an application to build new sidewalks as
an extension to the Safe Routes
to School program. The city also
hopes to hear from the state on
ramps of I-35.
On another subject, Hagler
said the city is working on a plan
to build new streets in the South
TIF District. The city currently
has $1.3 million in an account
to begin infrastructure improvements to open more land for
development. The city currently
is discussing the possibility of
building 30th Street, east of John
2017 to expend funds in the TIF
account or distribute the funds to
taxing authorities.
Hagler also told the Rotarians that FEMA will provide
only limited assistance to the
city in repairing damaging from
the Sept 9-10 floods. The only
project eligible for FEMA assistance was a collapsed culvert on
Bartlett Street near the park.
Computer scams reported in area
GRM Networks has been company that calls unexpectedly
informed that some customers
have been contacted by companies from outside the service area
claiming to do computer maintenance.
These companies claim to offer
a service to remotely access, run
a cleanup program and install
security software on the computer.
If you do not initiate the request,
do not allow anyone to remotely
access your computer. Protecting
computers is very important and
every computer should have a
security program to protect it from
malicious actions. GRM advises
that customers should not trust a
offering to help clean up your
computer. Individuals involved in
this type of activity are not looking
out for their best interest. They are
looking for an easy way to steal
personal information.
GRM Networks will never call
you and ask for money or access
to your computer over the phone
unless you have called us requesting a service, according to a press
release.
If you have questions or concerns about your computer protection, call GRM technical support
