Rainwater’s request for bond reduction denied

Kenneth E. Rainwater, age 66, of Maitland, MO, remains in the Holt County Jail following his arrest on three counts of Possession of Child Pornography on Tues-day, May 7. The arrest was made at Rainwater’s resi-dence, his tavern, otherwise known as the Maitland Op-era House located at 218 S. Second Street in Maitland.

Rainwater appeared in Holt County Circuit Court on Tuesday, May 14, for his arraignment. The state of Missouri appeared by Pros-ecuting Attorney Robert Shepherd. Rainwater told the court that he would be employing a private attor-ney, rather than appointed counsel. A bond reduction was requested by Rainwater, but was denied.

Rainwater appeared at a hearing on Tuesday, May 28, where he applied for a pub-lic defender. He once again requested a bond reduction, but was denied.

A determination of non-

indigency was filed by the public defender’s office on Wednesday, May 29. An in-digency hearing was held on Tuesday, June 4. The court appointed a public defender to represent Rainwater. The case was continued to Tues-day, June 18, at 2 p.m. for docket call.

Judge William S. Richards has been the presiding judge in the case thus far. Rain-water continues to be held in the Holt County Jail on a $250,000 bond.

Upon investigation follow-ing Rainwater’s arrest, ap-proximately 30 pieces of evi-dence were uncovered at the tavern, which resulted in three Class B felony charges of “Possession of Child Por-nography - Second Offense or Possession of More than 20 Pictures/One Film/Video-tape/Etc.”. Law enforcement officials do not believe that Rainwater was making child pornography, however he did have it in his possession.

Sumiko Ferguson, 83, of Libby, MT, passed away Thurs-day, June 6, 2013, of natural causes. She was born March 10, 1930, in Torakuji, Kyoto-Fu, Japan, to Kokichi and Koya (Yoshioka) Imanishi. She grew up close to Torakuji, Kyoto-Fu, Japan, walking a few miles to school each day.

On September 6, 1952, Sumi married Nicholas Ferguson in Tokyo, Japan. Together, with their son, Johnnie, they boarded a ship in 1954, heading to Oregon, MO. It was 15 of the longest days for them as Sumi and Johnnie were sick much of the trip.

The Fergusons spent 30 years in Missouri where Sumi loved being a mom to her three children, gardening, and visiting with friends whom she still shared a close friend-ship. They retired to Libby in 1984, a place that had been a favorite vacation spot for them. Though Sumi was hesitant to move clear to Montana, Libby soon became home to her and Nick. She could often be found out picking huckleber-ries, ferns, or mushrooms with Nick. She, of course, turned their pickings into a tasty entrée to be enjoyed by friends.

Sumi spent many hours at Libby Christian Church where she volunteered at the mission store; helped cook and serve many a dinner, including the holiday dinners served; at-tended and served with the Seniors With A Purpose; and in her earlier years, could be found shoveling the church sidewalks. Sumi truly loved her Lord and had such a ser-vant’s heart! Her hospitality was second to none as she wel-comed many families into their home where she served up her delicious Japanese cuisine. Her beautiful smile was a welcome to all who walked in the church doors. Her church family and friends will truly miss her.

Sumi is survived by her husband of sixty years, Nick of Libby; son, Johnnie (JoAnn) of Tonganoxie, KS; daughters, Marilyn (Gary) Collingwood of Greybull, WY, and Nancy (Mike) Mazur of St. Joseph, MO; eight grandchildren; 16

great-grandchildren with one great-grandchild meet-ing her in Heaven; sister, Yoshiko Irigaki of Japan; brother-in-law, Jerry Fergu-son of Gladstone, MO; many nieces and nephews; and her church family, who loved her dearly.

Services were held at the Libby Christian Church in Libby on Monday, June 10, 2013.

Services will be held on Saturday, June 15, 2013, at 11:00 a.m. at the Christian Church in Oregon. Fam-ily visitation will be Fri-day evening, June 14, from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at the Chamberlain Funeral Home in Oregon. Interment will be held at Benton Cemetery in Forest City, MO. Online con-dolences may be left at www.chamberlainfuneral.com.

The Holt County Com-mission met Monday, June 3, 2013, at 9:00 a.m. at the Holt County Courthouse in Oregon, MO, with Presid-ing Commissioner Mark Sitherwood, First District Commissioner Bill Gordon and Second District Com-missioner David Carroll in attendance.

Commissioners reviewed minutes presented by Coun-ty Clerk Kathy J. Kunkel. Commissioner Carroll made a motion to accept the min-utes as presented. Commis-sioner Gordon seconded the motion. Unanimously ap-proved.

Commissioners took a con-ference call from Levee Dis-trict #10 Board President Bob Sipes, who informed the commission of his intent to retire from the board. Com-missioners requested writ-ten notice and thanked Mr. Sipes for his years of service.

Brenda Nelson, R.N., Health Department Admin-istrator, joined the commis-sion to update a contract for wastewater management.

Commissioners then took up electrical usage at the three Road and Bridge Barns, located in Maitland, MO, Mound City and Or-egon, MO. Usage has been considerably higher at the Mound City barn for a short period earlier this year and consistently at the newly purchased Oregon Barn (the old Missouri Department of Transportation [MoDOT] facility). Expenditures for utilities, which include wa-ter and trash, are at 74.26% of the anticipated budget.

Commissioners discussed the matter and determined to look into lights and other sources that could be inflat-ing the usage.

Randy Mendenhall, Sny-der and Associates, appeared before the commission to seek approval for a change order on Big Tarkio Levee and Drainage District’s le-vee project. The change is for a reduction of $2,160 for silt fence that was un-necessary. This project ear-lier received an extension for completion on May 31, 2013, and Mr. Mendenhall reported the project is now complete. Commissioners approved a final payment for the project. Commission-ers also approved a final payment for work on the Corning Levee District proj-ect. Mr. Mendenhall gave the commission an update on work on Levee District #15, which has required a further extension from May 31, 2013, to July 19, 2013, to allow Hill Brothers Con-struction to complete the project. Commissioners ap-proved the extension. The district also continued to wait on the Federal Emer-gency Management Agency (FEMA) for approval for height increases on the le-vee.

Road and Bridge Super-visor, Daryl Biermann, met with the commission to discuss various roadway projects and repairs and maintenance issues with equipment.

Being no further business, the commission adjourned until Monday, June 10, 2013.

Big Lake PhotoWith all the changes at Big Lake in 2013, it is interesting to know that in

a Holt County publication dated 1908, it was named "one of the best fishing and shooting resorts in the state". The news item reads, "John F. Iden is mak-ing valuable improvements at his resort and has erected a fine cottage over the water, 20'x44', with a porch extending around the entire structure so that a person can fish from all sides and at the same time be under shelter". He erected it on strong piling making it solid, safe, and secure and furnished it with fine Mission furniture. Rent was $10 per week. Mr. Iden also had added six steel boats with double oars, a fine croquet and lawn tennis ground and a baseball park, along with a new bathhouse at the water's edge exclusively for the ladies! Look Out View is the name of John Iden’s new Lake House.

Notes from Tiffany Heights nursing home

Residents of Tiffany Heights in Mound City, MO, enjoyed Monday after-noon, June 3, with “Did you Know?” They discussed the many facts and events that happen during the month of June. They are always sur-prised at this information and, at times, have addi-tional questions. This month they learned that Superman was created in 1938 on June 1, but the shopping cart was a little earlier, June 4, 1937. A few other interesting facts are National Jelly Filled Doughnut Day, June 8; Na-tional Catfish Day, June 25; or how about Ice Cream Soda Day, June 30. An inter-esting fact that comes from Missouri, is National Bomb Pop Day on June 27. Did you know that this summer time treat was invented in 1955 in Kansas City, MO? They are perfect on a hot summer day.

Tim Clark of Skidmore, played the piano before lunch on Tuesday, June 4. During the afternoon the residents held their monthly council meeting. Residents are now choosing pies for the Friday lunch menu and they chose them at this time. The four selections for the month of June were Pecan, Apple, Peach, and German Choco-late. The residents chose Kristine Smith as Employee of Month. Kris works in the housekeeping/laundry de-partment and has worked for Tiffany Heights for 5 years. Kris enjoys garden-ing, reading, and music in her spare time. Kris is from Baguio City, Philippines.

Tim Clark played the gui-tar and sang during lunch on Wednesday, June 5. Tim will be playing the evening

of Saturday, June 22, at the Texaco Country Showdown held at Mozingo Lake Point near Maryville, MO. Tim got a few extra practices in for the showdown. Crafts were held during the after-noon of Wednesday. With the quick approach of sum-mer, residents made colorful necklaces and added bird charms for that extra special touch. Shirley Jackson and Rikki Miller assisted with the craft. Everyone enjoyed cookies brought by Shirley along with drinks after.

Dee Ann Heck played pia-no before lunch on Thursday, June 5. Bingo volunteers were Jean McCall, Barbara Hanlon, Gordon Robbins, Denise Akins, Lucille Stull, Shirley Jackson, and May Lee Privett. The big winner was Chet Caton.

Barbara Hanlon provided glamour nails on Friday, June 7. The residents en-joyed an ice cream social during the afternoon. They continued with the flavor of the month and this month was Praline. There is a Na-tional Praline Day on Mon-day, June 24, to coincide with the choice. Pralines are pecan caramel treats. Resi-dents were also offered sun-daes of choice.

Games of choice were en-couraged on Saturday after-noon, June 8. Larry Brickey and the Baptist Church fam-ily provided Sunday morn-ing, June 9, services. After-noon worship was conducted by the Holy Trinity Luther-an Church. Also during the day, the residents enjoyed a visit from Marley, the dog; a visit from Terry, the turtle; and a visit from Snuggles, the cat.

First annual ACE Flathead Tournament

The 1st annual Alliance for Community Enrichment (ACE) Flathead Tourna-ment will be held on Sat-urday, June 22, at Payne’s Landing in Forest City, MO. The tournament is a two-person boat team and the entry fee is $130 per team. Tournament registration begins at 6 a.m., fishing starts at 7 a.m., and the fin-ish time is 4 p.m. A fish fry will be provided at the end of the tournament.

The tournament entry will be divided as follows: $10 to big fish pot, $60 to ACE for community better-ment projects and $60 to prize money. Prize money payout is as follows: 1st place: 50%, 2nd place: 30%, and 3rd place: 20%. To pre-register, call Rick Dozier at 660-351-3344.

Boats will be released in order of entry and life vests must be worn at take-off. All boats must return by 4 p.m. and being late will result in automatic disqualification.

All fish must be caught on rod and reel only. A maxi-

mum of six rods per boat may be used, ex-cept where state limit is set at a lesser number. No fish may be taken from trot, jug, or limb line. Any legal com-mercial or natural bait will be allowed. There will be no chumming of any type during tourna-ment hours.

In the event of a tie, the winner will be de-termined by the biggest fish and if a tie still ex-ists, a coin flip will be conducted by the tour-nament director. Any protest must be made in writing to the tour-nament director within 20 minutes following the end of the official weigh-in. The director’s decision is final. Prizes will be awarded at the fish fry following the weigh-in.

All state and federal rules will apply and if rules are violated, au-tomatic disqualification may result. No refunds will be made in the event of disqualifica-tion.

The Alliance for Com-munity Enrichment (ACE) is a community service club started in Oregon, MO. The mis-sion of the organiza-tion is to provide young families and individu-als in this area an op-portunity to be involved in community service. Over the years, ACE has raised funds and provided labor for nu-merous projects in the area. ACE also funds a scholarship for a South Holt senior involved in community service. In 2012 and 2013, ACE was able to award two seniors with $250 schol-arships.

The final date for corn planting has passed for all Missouri counties.

Producers who insured their crops under any Feder-al Crop Insurance Corpora-tion COMBO program have options to consider, said Ray Massey, University of Mis-souri Extension economist.

The June 3 USDA crop report showed only 86 per-cent of Missouri’s corn crop planted at the end of May, mainly because the state experienced its 17th wettest spring on record since 1895.

“Fields of insured crops are treated differently de-pending on whether the crop was never planted (“pre-vented planting”) or planted and subsequently damaged,” Massey said. “Additionally, it is important to know the difference between the final planting date and the late planting period. The late planting period begins the day after the final planting date and lasts 20 days for corn.”

“Corn producers may choose prevented planting status under crop insurance guidelines. Producers can declare that they were un-able to plant by the deadline due to environmental rea-sons such as excessive rain,” Massey said.

Under this option, insured acres not planted receive 60 percent indemnity of guar-antee for corn and soybeans. This option takes into ac-count that the producer did not incur costs such as seed, chemicals and labor to pro-duce the crop.

If the farmer plants dur-ing the late planting period, the insurance guarantee de-creases 1 percentage point for each day after the final

planting date. If planting occurs after the last day of the late planting period, the guarantee goes to 60 percent regardless of how late it is planted.

A fourth option is declar-ing prevented planting and planting another crop such as soybeans or sorghum af-ter the last day of the late planting period. An indem-nity payment for corn is 35 percent of the prevented-planting payment.

A fifth option is to de-clare prevented planting but plant a cover crop after the final planting date. This is paid at 60 percent of the guarantee.

There are also five dam-aged-crop options when the planted crop is severely damaged by flooding. If the corn is totally destroyed and it is not practical to replant, a 100 percent indemnity is paid.

The second option is to leave the damaged crop and harvest it as is. If a farmer purchased revenue protec-tion insurance on fields with a 150-bushel per acre actual production history and se-lected the 75 percent cover-age level, the guaranteed revenue would be $635 per acre (75 percent of 150 bush-

els per acre multiplied by the 2013 USDA Risk Man-agement Agency (RMA) in-demnity corn price of $5.65 per bushel). If the final yield is severely reduced and harvest revenue dips below $635.62 per acre, an indem-nity will be paid.

If the insurance agent de-termines it is practical to replant and if the corn crop is projected to produce less than 90 percent of the guar-anteed yield, the producer can receive a replant pay-ment. This payment equals the projected price of $5.65 x 8 bushels of corn.

The fourth option is to plant a second uninsured crop. In this case, the indem-nity payment is based on the estimated yield loss of corn.

The final option is to plant a second insured crop. The producer will receive a 35 percent of loss payment on the corn. If the second crop does not have a loss, the oth-er 65 percent of the indemni-ty will be paid at harvest. If the crop does not have a rev-enue loss, the producer can choose to take a second 65 percent corn payment or the second insured crop indem-nity, whichever is greater.

Massey recommends that

producers work closely with their insurance agents be-fore making any decisions, and ask for a written deci-sion from the agent.

The final planting date for soybean ranges from June 15, in northwestern Mis-souri, to June 30, in south-western Missouri.

USDA reported on June 3 that less than 20 percent of the soybean crop was planted in much of Missouri. Typically, 50 percent of the state’s 5 million soybean acres are planted by the end of May. RMA has established a $12.87 indemnity price for soybeans for 2013.

Massey recommends a spreadsheet to help evaluate the economics of prevented planting and replanting with crop insurance. To download the spreadsheet, go to crops.missouri.edu/marketing and look under “Crop Insur-ance” for “Delayed Planting and Replanting Insurance”. There are tabs for corn al-ready planted, corn prevent-ed planting, soybeans al-ready planted and soybean prevented planting. Each tab shows the options avail-able and economic results of each option, given the input the user provides.

Debby Sweaney of Car-lisle, PA, who grew up in Oregon, MO, visited the Holt County Historical So-ciety’s Genealogy Center in Mound City on Wednesday, May 29, after recently pub-lishing the book, "Unpack-ing Memories; The story of a suitcase, a country doc-tor, and a community", in memory of her father, Dr. I.F. Sweaney. He practiced medicine in northwest Mis-souri from 1952 until his death in 1960.

While doing research for the book, Debby Sweaney and her friend, Kelly Kurtz, a current Oregon resi-dent, spent time at the ge-nealogy center in Mound City last summer looking through old newspapers for Dr. Sweaney stories. While there, they used their own hand held scanner to copy news items. Society vol-unteers noticed how con-venient the scanner was to make copies from old files, so, with funding from the Missouri State Genealogi-cal Association’s 21st Cen-tury Fund Grant Program,

the Holt County Historical Society purchased a scan-ner that is now in use at the center. The new scanner allows a visitor to just drop in with a photo or docu-ment to have it scanned for society files. The original is returned to the visitor right on the spot and the society has a digital addition to its genealogy center, to include collections of family histo-ries, obituary files, photos and slides. Karen Frede of Mound City, society trea-surer, wrote the grant ap-plication and attended a banquet in Columbia, MO, to accept the funding.

Proceeds from Holt Coun-ty sales of Debby Sweaney’s book go to the Iris and Frank Sweaney Scholar-ship Fund to reward deserv-ing seniors in Holt County with scholarships to be used for higher education. Four graduates received funding in 2013. Members of the Sweaney Scholarship Board include: Nida Mes-sick, Billie Banks, Arnie Kreek, Bill Richards, Kelly Kurtz and Debby Sweaney.

The genealogy center in Mound City has copies of the book for sale or it can be purchased from any board member.

always packed when "doc-tor was in" and patients came from not only Holt County, but from the sur-rounding areas as well. When the office closed for the day, "Doc" Sweaney, along with his driver (so the doctor could rest), would make numerous home vis-its along the way as they headed north to the hospi-tal in Fairfax, MO, to make rounds. The hospital was located several miles away, in Atchison County. Doc Sweaney’s caring ser-vice will not be forgotten; and now, the book pre-serving his service to Holt County and the surround-ing areas, with its profits, will continue to serve area residents through further-ing their educations.

The Missouri Academy of Family Physicians (MAFP) presented Richard Aron Burke, MD, of Rock Port, MO, with the 2013 Family Physician of the Year Award at the academy’s 65th An-nual Scientific Assembly held Friday, June 7, and Saturday, June 8, in Lake Ozark, MO. Dr. Burke was chosen as the award recipient by a committee of family physicians from nominations made by patients, community members and fellow physicians.

Dr. Burke grew up as the son of a local farmer, who also worked for the locally owned utility company for over 30 years, and a high school teacher and coach in Rock Port. He attended Rock Port R-II High School and, in 1998, graduated second in his class at the University of Missouri, Kansas City School of Medi-cine. After completing his residency at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, Fayetteville, AR, he returned to his home community and joined his mentor, Dr. Wallace Carpenter, in prac-tice.

Shortly after Dr. Burke’s return, Dr. Carpenter retired and Dr. Burke con-tinued his practice in Tarkio, MO, and Rock Port and was appointed to the Medical Staff at Community Hospital-Fairfax, MO, in 2001, both positions which he continues serving today. He currently serves as the Medical Director of the local nursing homes, ambulance

district, and county health agency. Not only does Dr. Burke mentor local high school students into the medical field, he is also a preceptor for medical stu-dents, physician assistants, and nurses.

Dr. Burke resides in Rock Port with his wife, Joanna, and their three chil-dren, Journi, Alex, and Aidan. He has been a member of MAFP since 2001.

Founded in 1947, the MAFP is a non-profit professional medical society of more than 1,900 physicians, residents and medical students across the state. Approximately one in four of all office visits are made to family physicians. That is 228 million office visits each year, nearly 84 million more than the next largest medical specialty. Today, family physicians provide more care for America’s underserved and rural pop-ulations than any other medical spe-cialty. Headquartered in Jefferson City, MO, the MAFP is dedicated to optimiz-ing the health of patients, families, and communities of Missouri through patient care, advocacy, education, and research. The MAFP is a constituent chapter of the AAFP, one of the largest national medical organizations, repre-senting 110,600 physicians and medi-cal students nationwide. It is the only medical society devoted solely to prima-ry care. The AAFP is headquartered in Leawood, KS.

Last week a number of potential problems showed up in area fields. First, ar-myworm has been found in scattered fields attack-ing tall fescue and winter wheat. Please scout fields for this potential pest. Small worms will feed at the bot-tom of plants and will stay close to the ground. Also, they will feed in evenings and early mornings.

Next, because of the rains, there is potential loss of ni-trogen. The amount of loss is dependent on soils and various other factors such as nitrogen application timing. Fall applications are of high-est risk of loss. Now that June is here, moist warm soil conditions lend the op-portunity for additional losses. Areas of corn in fields showing yellowing should be observed closely and grow-ers should look for nitrogen deficiency. Young plants will show yellowing. Older plants will have an inverted “V” shape on the tip of the leaf pointing to the stalk.

Some replanting of corn is taking place. To control a no-till corn stand, Gramox-one plus Sencor can be used without any replant inter-vals. Other products have replant intervals before re-planting to corn. Given this late date, area agronomists advise that careful consider-ation be given before tearing up a stand.

The cool wet temperatures have caused outbreaks of soybean seedling diseases. Several calls have come into the area extension office

concerning soybeans rot-ting in the soil and soybeans emerging, then falling over and dying. Diseases can be from several broad organ-isms that hurt soybeans. In places, soybean seed treat-ments have not been effec-tive, so please scout fields

Area pest update and crop outlook

The yellow leaves on corn plants means one thing. Nitro-gen fertilizer applied last fall or early this spring is gone. It washed deep into the soil, be-yond reach of the young roots.

“That means most fields will need additional nitrogen to reach full yield potential,” says Peter Scharf, University of Missouri Extension soil sci-entist.

Nitrogen loss is likely heaviest in areas that re-ceived more than 16 inches of rain since Monday, April 1. That includes all of northeast-ern Missouri, plus western Il-linois and eastern Iowa.

“Anhydrous ammonia ap-plied last fall is most at risk,” Scharf said. The anhydrous is a gas, but dry or liquid nitro-gen applied this spring, pre-plant, also leached down into the soil.

“Farmers need to think about how they can apply ni-trogen into the growing corn-fields,” Scharf says.

Fertilizer application equip-ment must be driven over the field between growing corn rows. While the corn is still short, tractor-powered equip-ment can be used to side-dress nitrogen into the soil near the rows.

“Equipment may become a challenge,” Scharf adds.

As corn grows taller, high clearance equipment with spinners can be used to broad-cast dry fertilizer over the top of the field. That equipment may be hard to find.

Increasingly, farm service companies are equipped to apply fertilizer over growing corn.

Some growers are consider-ing spraying liquid nitrogen over the top of corn up to 16 inches tall. “We tried a full rate of nitrogen on some seed-ling corn this year and it looks fine,” Scharf says. “On bigger corn, a foot tall, we burned it pretty bad, but it’s growing back. That won’t hurt yield much.”

“That’s my last choice for how to apply extra nitrogen, but if you can get it on before knee high, it’s better than do-ing nothing.”

Continued rainfall creates another problem. Wet soils delay getting equipment back into the cornfields.

Scharf urges farmers to not abandon the idea of getting additional nitrogen applied, no matter how late.

“We’ve seen no loss on yield when nitrogen is applied to corn up to 4 feet tall,” Scharf said. “We've seen yield re-sponse right up until almost tasseling time. If your live-lihood depends on growing corn, it will pay to apply the nitrogen.”

Deep core soil samples can be taken for nitrogen tests. “That is hard work,” Scharf adds. “If the corn is yellow and not growing, it needs nitrogen. Don’t wait for a soil test.”

However, Scharf urges farmers to make a plan for ap-plying the nitrogen, soon. Ar-rangements should be made now to assure a supply of fer-tilizer to apply.

“Fertilizer dealers plan to have their bins and tanks empty by the end of planting season,” Scharf says. “They don’t plan to carry fertilizer

over to the next season, but if they know they can sell it to you, I’m sure they will get it for you. Just arrange to have it when you need it.”

Scharf talked to soil con-sultants who did deep core sampling. “They are not find-ing normal nitrogen levels in the top foot of soil. Most has moved down to the second foot.”

Corn plants need nitrogen to grow roots that will go deep into the soil.

Much of the corn across Missouri was planted five to six weeks later than farmers wanted to plant. “When the weather opened a little, they planted corn. They didn’t stop to put on fertilizer,” Scharf says. “Actually, people who put nitrogen on after they planted are probably in the best shape,” he adds. “Farmers in the Bootheel count on side-dressing every year. They al-ways get an extra 10 inches of rain. They know what to do.”

Scharf and his colleague, John Lory, maintain the web-site “Nitrogen Watch 2013” to show where nitrogen losses oc-cur. It is based on cumulative rainfall reports from across the Corn Belt. To access the website, go to plantsci.mis-souri.edu/NutrientManage-ment and click on “N Watch 2013”.

The reports are divided into well drained and poorly drained soils. The fertilizer loss will extend later in poorly drained areas.

“There’s going to be a lot of yellow corn,” Scharf adds.

Community Hospital-Fairfax (CH-F), MO, is proud to present the Community Health Needs’ Assessment for Atchison and Holt counties. The report is available to the public on the website at www.FairfaxMed.com. Anyone interested in a hard copy may request one from the hospital by calling (660) 686-2317.

The needs’ assessment is the product of research, focus groups and a community-wide survey conducted from June, 2012, to June, 2013. The goal of the assessment was to determine what the greatest health needs were in the community and how Community Hospital-Fairfax can best meet those needs.

The assessment has indicated that the greatest health needs in Atchison and Holt counties’ population are for more mental health services, access to health care among the low income and more healthy lifestyles. Information from the assessment was used to create an implementation plan to ad-dress these identified needs. The three-year

implementation plan was approved by the CH-F Board of Directors on Wednesday, June 5.

“We are very excited about the direction the Community Health Needs’ Assessment has provided for us. We look forward to the new projects and directives that will help us better meet the needs of our community,” commented Myra Evans, Chief Executive Officer.

Community Hospital-Fairfax wishes to recognize everyone that participated in this process over the last year. Focus group members, those that completed the survey and the CH-F staff that contributed ideas and support to the process were key in the assessment’s completion.

The implementation plan and report are available for everyone to review at www. FairfaxMed.com. Questions about the as-sessment, plan or process may be direct-ed to Ann Schlueter at (660) 686-2317 or anns@Fairfax Med.com.

Holt County United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Farm Service Agency (FSA) Farm Loan Manager, Charlotte Holeman, reminds producers that FSA offers spe-cially-targeted farm ownership and farm operating loans to Socially Disadvantaged (SDA) applicants.

"FSA targets a portion of its loan funds each year to socially disadvantaged farmers and ranchers," said Mrs. Holeman. "Farming and ranching is a capital intensive business and FSA is committed to helping producers start and maintain their agricultural operations."

In fiscal year 2012, Missouri FSA obligated $12.8 million in direct and guaranteed loans to socially disadvantaged produc-ers.

USDA defines socially disad-vantaged applicants as a group whose members have been sub-jected to racial, ethnic, or gender prejudice because of their iden-tity as members of the group without regard to their indi-vidual qualities. For farm loan program purposes, SDA groups are women, African Americans, American Indians and Alaskan natives, Hispanics and Asians and Pacific Islanders.

SDA producers who cannot obtain commercial credit from a bank can apply for either FSA direct loans or guaranteed loans. Direct loans are made to applicants by FSA. Guaranteed loans are made by lending in-stitutions who arrange for FSA to guarantee the loan. FSA can guarantee up to 95 percent of the loss of principal and inter-est on a loan. The FSA guar-antee allows lenders to make agricultural credit available to producers who do not meet the lender's normal underwriting criteria.

The direct and guaranteed loan program offers two types of loans: farm ownership loans and farm operating loans.

Farm ownership loan funds may be used to purchase or en-large a farm or ranch, purchase easements or rights-of-way

needed in the farm's operation, build or improve buildings such as a dwelling or barn, promote soil and water conservation and development and pay closing costs.

Farm operating loan funds may be used to purchase live-stock, poultry, farm equipment, fertilizer, and other materials necessary to operate a suc-cessful farm. Operating loan funds can also be used for fam-ily living expenses, refinancing debts under certain conditions, paying salaries for hired farm laborers, installing or improv-ing water systems for home, livestock, or irrigation use and other similar improvements.

Repayment terms for direct operating loans depend on the collateral securing the loan and usually run from one to seven years. Financing for direct farm ownership loans cannot exceed 40 years. Interest rates for di-rect loans are set periodically according to the government's cost of borrowing. Guaranteed loan terms and interest rates are set by the lender.

For more information on FSA’s farm loan programs, please contact the farm loan service center at 660-744-5328.

uSDa offers loans for the socially disadvantaged

Each year, the General Assembly takes a close look at things we can do legisla-tively to honor and respect our veterans and our ac-tive duty military members. This year was particularly productive as we passed a long list of bills that will give something back to those men and women who have given so much to our great nation.

It is a sad truth that some of our military members who return home turn to drugs and alcohol in order to cope with the trauma and stress that can result from war. These are individuals who need our help rather than spend time in a correc-tional facility. A few areas of our state have established veterans’ treatment courts that handle cases involving current and former mili-tary personnel with mental health or substance abuse issues. Because these courts have been very effective in keeping non-violent offend-ers out of the criminal jus-tice system by focusing on effective rehabilitation, we passed legislation this year to allow for more courts to be set up throughout Mis-souri to help more veterans lead stable and sober lives.

Another bill passed this year, that will soon become law, will give returning

members of our military the opportunity to convert their training and experi-ence into academic credits here at home. Specifically, it will allow certain military training courses to convert into academic credit at Mis-souri’s public colleges and universities. The bill also gives certain members of the Armed Forces the op-portunity to keep their professional health-related licenses or certificates in good standing while on ac-tive duty and allows any applicable training or ser-vice received by military members to apply toward qualifications to receive a professional license or cer-tificate.

Along that same line, another bill passed al-lows outgoing members of the military who receive an honorable discharge to receive resident status in order to receive in-state tu-ition rates for public insti-tutions of higher education in Missouri. The change will allow returning veterans to immediately pursue their educational goals rather than waiting for a year to achieve residency status in Missouri.

Another piece of legisla-tion passed will exempt children, with a parent serving in active duty, from

the proof of residence re-quirements to register for school. In many instances, a wife or husband left behind is forced to relocate and we hope this change will al-leviate some of the undue financial burden that has been placed on parents doing their best to get by while their spouse in away serving our nation.

Members of the military stationed overseas will have fewer hurdles to jump when they next go to vote. Right now, the process to obtain an absentee ballot can be exceedingly long, which can discourage many of our active duty military members from participat-ing in the process. Because we want these fine men and women to be able to make their voices heard in the election process, we passed legislation this year that requires our Secretary of State to develop an online process to allow voters to apply and receive voter reg-istration materials and mil-itary-overseas ballots. This change should significantly speed up and simplify the process which will allow our military personnel to be ac-tive participants in the po-litical process.

Other bills passed dealt with the return of lost or unclaimed military medals,

This spring has caused several major crop and forage growing problems. Area growers are invited to participate in several area meetings to look at plant samples and help diagnose problems in fields. Problems include corn nitrogen losses, soy-bean seedling diseases, insect pests and others.

The meetings will start at a scheduled location and there will be a discus-sion about various prob-lems and suggestions on how to handle crop prob-lems. Then, the group will be invited to move to a field of one of the par-ticipants to look and see problems firsthand. This is what is called “in-field meetings”.

The schedule of meet-ings follows:

Friday, June 14: 8 a.m. at Maryville, MO, Extension office and 1:00 p.m. at Graves Chapple Research Center near Corning, MO.

Monday, June 17: 1:00 p.m. at Andrew

County Courthouse base-ment, Savannah, MO; and 7 p.m. at the Holt County Extension office, Oregon, MO.

Wednesday, June 19: 8:00 a.m. at the Clinton County Youth Building, Plattsburg, MO; 1:00 p.m. at the DeKalb County Courthouse, Maysville, MO, meeting room; and 7:00 p.m. at the Buchan-an County Extension of-fice, St. Joseph, MO.

Sand volleyball league at The Klub in full swing

Sand volleyballer, Josh Petersen, front- Looks Dazed and Confused as a vol-leyball travels past him. The volleyball league, which is a fundraiser for the Com-munity Building of Mound City, Inc., has nine teams participating this year.

Sand volleyball league members- Start the summer with league play on Tues-day, June 4, at The Klub in Mound City. There is a total of nine teams and the first game begins at 6 p.m. and the last game begins at 9 p.m. each Tuesday. League play will last until the last week in August.

Area community members- Gather together for a ben-efit for Heather Lewis on Saturday, June 8, in the Ameri-can Legion building in Craig, MO, to help with medical ex-penses for Heather and her family. The benefit consisted of a pulled pork meal, an auction, and a live band for enter-tainment. An estimated 50 to 75 area residents attended the event. Members of the Craig R-3 junior class, Blake Bradley, Colton Flint and Taylor Burnett, helped with the auction. Due to the possibility of rain, the benefit was held inside the Legion Building instead of the city park in Craig.

Kelsie Sipes, left, and Rachel Lewis, right, both of Craig, MO- Release bal-loons in memory of eight of Heather Lewis’ friends who have passed away from cys-tic fibrosis (CF). Heather, who also suffers with CF, was unable to attend the benefit in her honor on Sat-urday, June 8, due to being at Children’s Mercy Hospi-tal in Kansas City, MO, for the last six weeks.

Benefit for Heather Lewis a great success
