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.

Polo Prom will be April 30. 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.” County Student Art Show April 8 and 9 Come check out the amazing and creative student art work at the county-wide student art show Friday April 8, from 6 to 8 and Saturday, April 9, from 10 to 2 at the Polo Community Building!

Letters to the Editor do not necessarily reflect the views of The Caldwell County staff and paper 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. Pat O’Connor 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. April 4, 1946 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. April 7, 1976 Workers added final touches this week to the J. C. Penney Museum and Library in preparation for the dedication ceremonies on Sunday.

April 3, 1986 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 Continued on page 10 Discounts for MO Star Quilt & Jamesport Pitch Tournament winners for March 29, 2016 First Place: Karen Claypole – 242 Second Place: Eloise Morgan – 206 Third Place: Ray Karnes – 203 Last Place: Rexena Petree – 10 Behind fear is powerlessness.

Source: Karen Funkenbusch, 573-884-1268 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. Source: Karen Funkenbusch, 573-884-1268 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 http://bit.ly/1LZUOrl.

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.
