Errors in 275<br />

JH Conference<br />

track stats<br />

The 275 Junior High<br />

Conference Track meet<br />

results were taken<br />

from the official online<br />

reports and then composed<br />

for last week's<br />

edition of the <strong>Mound</strong><br />

<strong>City</strong> <strong>News</strong>. It is now evident<br />

that those online<br />

results were grossly in<br />

error.<br />

The <strong>Mound</strong> <strong>City</strong> <strong>News</strong><br />

will run the corrected<br />

results as soon as they<br />

are made available, but<br />

as of the current print<br />

deadline, the only results<br />

still available are<br />

the erroneous ones.<br />

<strong>News</strong> Beat<br />

Our readers had a chance <strong>to</strong> experience technology at<br />

its best with last week’s newspaper. The Junior High 275<br />

Conference track results that we ran in last week’s edition<br />

were incorrect. After the 25th person brought this <strong>to</strong><br />

our attention, I thought I would write an explanation.<br />

Number one, since Chris Boultinghouse wanted <strong>to</strong> be<br />

paid for the newspaper when I bought it, I can’t afford<br />

an additional 12 staff members <strong>to</strong> cover the four area<br />

schools and write down every single stat or result from<br />

all the many athletic events. Therefore, we rely on stats<br />

sent in by coaches and schools, which we certainly appreciate.<br />

Number two, we realize that the stats were incorrect,<br />

however the stats we received from the meet were printed<br />

exactly the way they were sent <strong>to</strong> us.<br />

Number three, my best guess is that the stats were<br />

entered in<strong>to</strong> a computer by a real person, and then the<br />

computer program calcaluted the stats and printed them<br />

out. It is possible that human error or a computer program<br />

glitch was the culprit - either way the stats were<br />

wrong.<br />

Since the information was printed with incorrect stats,<br />

I will take complete responsibility as I do with all the<br />

s<strong>to</strong>ries that appear in this newspaper.<br />

I am, however, really happy that people are reading<br />

the newspaper. I hope that this sort of thing does not<br />

happen in the future, except I do realize that it probably<br />

will since mistakes are always possible with humans and<br />

even possible with computers.<br />

Remembering...By<br />

Wonder who has that nice<br />

yard?<br />

On a typical Sunday afternoon<br />

drive around the countryside<br />

when we pass a well<br />

kept yard, this is usually<br />

what we wonder.<br />

As a kid growing up, yards<br />

weren’t like they are <strong>to</strong>day.<br />

Back then you could bet the<br />

better kept yards belonged<br />

<strong>to</strong> someone who had enough<br />

money <strong>to</strong> hire someone <strong>to</strong> do<br />

it, had a lot of energy or maybe<br />

a house full of kids. Some<br />

of the old timers back then<br />

said you could generally tell<br />

what kind or type of person<br />

or persons were living in the<br />

house by the condition of the<br />

yard. Maybe so, but not necessarily<br />

so <strong>to</strong>day.<br />

We had a large yard and I<br />

grew up with one of the hand<br />

push reel-type mowers. Commercial<br />

fertilizers weren’t<br />

used much then and we never<br />

thought there was a need<br />

<strong>to</strong> help Mother Nature water<br />

it either. We had the common<br />

blue grass variety and<br />

were always happy when the<br />

summer months came. Then<br />

it went dormant and didn’t<br />

need much mowing. The old<br />

reel-type mower did provide<br />

extra exercise, training in<br />

patience and developed your<br />

thinking, especially in ways<br />

<strong>to</strong> get out of it.<br />

We had this big mixed<br />

German Shepherd dog who<br />

would catch <strong>hold</strong> our pant<br />

legs and pull us around sliding<br />

on the grass. This was<br />

a lot of fun until Mom put<br />

a s<strong>to</strong>p <strong>to</strong> it, because of <strong>to</strong>rn<br />

places and grass stains on<br />

our clothing. I thought since<br />

he was strong enough <strong>to</strong> pull<br />

Kiwanis news<br />

The <strong>Mound</strong> <strong>City</strong> Kiwanis<br />

Club met at The Klub on<br />

Wednesday, May 6, with 12<br />

members and three guests<br />

present. Guests included Annette<br />

Weeks, Gwen Knowles<br />

and Audrey Heck.<br />

Gwen Knowles gave a presentation<br />

about Parents as<br />

Teachers. The <strong>to</strong>pic generated<br />

a number of questions<br />

and comments.<br />

Several <strong>to</strong>pics were discussed<br />

including the flags<br />

and golf club next <strong>to</strong> The<br />

Klub and the Fourth of July<br />

celebration. David King is<br />

coordinating the parade and<br />

Bev Shifflett volunteered <strong>to</strong><br />

work on the baby show.<br />

Several winners from the<br />

April 18 trapshoot have donated<br />

their winnings back <strong>to</strong><br />

the Kiwanis.<br />

Blood drive <strong>to</strong> be held<br />

Last year, 28,000 individuals<br />

in this area needed a<br />

blood transfusion. This year,<br />

the local needs for blood are<br />

expected <strong>to</strong> rise. Community<br />

Blood Center, the provider of<br />

blood <strong>services</strong> <strong>to</strong> local hospitals,<br />

will be conducting<br />

a blood drive on Thursday,<br />

May 21, in <strong>Mound</strong> <strong>City</strong> at<br />

the First Christian Church<br />

basement.<br />

“When individuals normally<br />

think of essential<br />

community <strong>services</strong>, they<br />

think about the fire and police<br />

departments,” said Dr.<br />

Jay Meni<strong>to</strong>ve, Executive<br />

Direc<strong>to</strong>r and Medical Direc<strong>to</strong>r<br />

with Community Blood<br />

Center. “However, because<br />

Community Blood Center is<br />

here <strong>to</strong> meet the needs of lo-<br />

cal patients, we would hope<br />

that individuals in our community<br />

would consider us <strong>to</strong><br />

be just as essential,” Meni<strong>to</strong>ve<br />

stated.<br />

Individuals in <strong>Mound</strong> <strong>City</strong><br />

can help meet the local needs<br />

by donating blood at the<br />

Community Blood Center<br />

blood drive on Thursday, May<br />

21, from 3:00 <strong>to</strong> 7:00 p.m. in<br />

the First Christian Church<br />

basement at 402 East 5th<br />

Street. Appointments can be<br />

made by calling Betty Tinker<br />

at (800) 725-6791 or online<br />

at www.esavealifenow.<br />

org and use the sponsor code<br />

moundcitycomm1.<br />

Just one donation can help<br />

as many as two local hospital<br />

patients. Community<br />

Blood Center must collect at<br />

least 580 pints of blood every<br />

day <strong>to</strong> meet the needs of this<br />

area.<br />

us around that he could be<br />

tied up <strong>to</strong> the mower and all<br />

we’d have <strong>to</strong> do was guide it.<br />

He could do it alright, but he<br />

outsmarted us and decided, if<br />

he would pull it sideways instead<br />

of straight ahead, we’d<br />

give up on him and we did.<br />

On the farm, work around<br />

the yard was usually put<br />

aside for a time when it was<br />

either rainy or the other work<br />

was caught up. Using the<br />

old reel mower in tall grass<br />

and weeds was almost a lost<br />

cause, even after we could get<br />

one with a gasoline engine<br />

doing all the work. Giving<br />

it due credit, if you kept the<br />

grass cut as needed it did a<br />

beautiful job, one <strong>to</strong> be proud<br />

<strong>to</strong> show off <strong>to</strong> the Sunday<br />

drivers.<br />

One of the greatest happenings<br />

was when the rotary<br />

blade mower came out. The<br />

first I remember was one Dad<br />

traded for. It was a Good-all,<br />

made in Nebraska, and it was<br />

just an engine on a deck deep<br />

enough <strong>to</strong> cover up the blade,<br />

a couple wheels <strong>to</strong> carry it<br />

and a fixed handle <strong>to</strong> guide<br />

it. It was built <strong>to</strong> cut grass,<br />

weeds and anything else in<br />

the way, like rocks, sticks,<br />

pine cones, kids’ <strong>to</strong>ys or anything<br />

our pets may have drug<br />

in. That didn’t bother that<br />

mower, it just slung it out the<br />

side, front or back and hopefully<br />

no one would be hit by<br />

anything. Even though we<br />

canvassed the yard for all of<br />

the above, we always managed<br />

<strong>to</strong> miss a few.<br />

We nicknamed those rotary<br />

mowers “whirlygigs” and at<br />

first they were thought <strong>to</strong> be<br />

<strong>to</strong>o dangerous <strong>to</strong> use. They<br />

would soon be closed down<br />

due <strong>to</strong> safety violations and<br />

no one would want one anyway.<br />

Over the years, progress<br />

was made in segments: a<br />

shield in the back <strong>to</strong> protect<br />

Missouri Army National<br />

Guardsmen, Chris<strong>to</strong>pher Owens,<br />

<strong>Mound</strong> <strong>City</strong>, and Timothy<br />

Beard, <strong>Mound</strong> <strong>City</strong>, were recently<br />

promoted <strong>to</strong> the rank of<br />

specialist. Both men are field<br />

use, on some, a tie wrap or<br />

have three hands <strong>to</strong> keep all<br />

the safety features active.<br />

After a while a reel mower<br />

couldn’t even be given away,<br />

much less trying <strong>to</strong> sell one<br />

at a garage sale.<br />

Betty and I, over the years,<br />

have probably had more<br />

mowers than we should’ve.<br />

Excluding the old reel push<br />

types, we’ve had five rotary<br />

push mowers and nine riding<br />

mowers. Our favorite rotary<br />

has been the “Lawn Boys”,<br />

with the exception of one.<br />

It was a special <strong>to</strong> celebrate<br />

some kind of event and was<br />

of an ivory color instead of<br />

green. I think that must have<br />

been part of the problem, for<br />

it started out giving us problems.<br />

Betty always mowed<br />

when I was out of <strong>to</strong>wn and<br />

this one time she filled the<br />

tank from a can I had old oil<br />

in. I never could get it <strong>to</strong> run<br />

right even after replacing the<br />

tank, fuel lines and carbora<strong>to</strong>r.<br />

Maybe I should’ve tried<br />

painting it green, but instead<br />

I traded it off.<br />

We’ve had riders that had<br />

side discharge, rear discharge,<br />

fancy sacking attachments,<br />

full mulching, easy <strong>to</strong> operate<br />

and hard <strong>to</strong> operate. One we<br />

had with rear discharge was<br />

a favorite, but when I went<br />

for a second one, it had been<br />

discontinued. Now if all the<br />

different makes, styles, horsepower,<br />

attachments, options<br />

and prices would be put <strong>to</strong>gether,<br />

it would look like one<br />

of the old Sears Summer wish<br />

books. Anyway, if Al Gore and<br />

his ‘Go for Green with clean<br />

air’ causes me <strong>to</strong> have <strong>to</strong> go<br />

back <strong>to</strong> the reel-type push<br />

Spring Fling planned in Holt County<br />

The Holt County His<strong>to</strong>rical<br />

Society is planning a<br />

“Spring Fling”, a day long<br />

step back in time, Saturday,<br />

May 30, on the spacious tree<br />

shaded school grounds, at<br />

the north edge of Fortescue.<br />

Activities will begin at 9:00<br />

a.m. and continue throughout<br />

the day.<br />

Various living his<strong>to</strong>ry areas<br />

will give an opportunity<br />

<strong>to</strong> step in<strong>to</strong> old time crafts<br />

and activities. A visit with<br />

the “school marm” in the<br />

little brick school house,<br />

or watching a basket being<br />

made or tasting hand<br />

churned butter are sure <strong>to</strong><br />

bring back memories! Everyone<br />

will have a chance<br />

<strong>to</strong> dance the Virginia Reel,<br />

or look inside an authentic<br />

Tee Pee, or hear first hand<br />

about Lewis and Clark traveling<br />

through Holt County<br />

on their trip up the Missouri<br />

River.<br />

There will only be outdoor<br />

<strong>to</strong>ilets. Those attending are<br />

urged <strong>to</strong> bring along a lawn<br />

chair.<br />

Anyone with crafting skills<br />

is invited <strong>to</strong> come share their<br />

talents and <strong>to</strong> offer their<br />

items for sale if they want.<br />

Those with vintage au<strong>to</strong>mobiles<br />

or trac<strong>to</strong>rs are welcome<br />

<strong>to</strong> come show them off.<br />

The Society will have a<br />

food stand available all day.<br />

Vendors (except food stands)<br />

are welcome without charge<br />

<strong>to</strong> come find a shady spot<br />

and offer their products.<br />

It will also be a fun time <strong>to</strong><br />

wear old time clothing, so dig<br />

out grandma’s old dress or<br />

find grandpa’s straw hat he<br />

always wore <strong>to</strong> the field, and<br />

come spend the day, meet<br />

your friends, and experience<br />

spring in Holt County.<br />

Cedar boxes and chests- Were on display at the Nutrition<br />

Site on May 6. Mendell and Wilda Athen have had vast<br />

experience showing their wares, including last week’s Show<br />

and Tell.<br />

Stained Glass and Cedar Chests<br />

Kim Kling and Mendell and<br />

Wilda Athen, all of <strong>Mound</strong><br />

<strong>City</strong>, displayed their wares at<br />

the monthly ‘Show and Tell’<br />

Exhibit at the Nutrition Site<br />

on Wednesday, May 6.<br />

Kim Kling picked up her<br />

stained glass hobby nearly<br />

10 years ago. “I have always<br />

been fascinated by the beauty<br />

of stained glass,” Kim remarked.<br />

“After getting started<br />

in it, I developed a great<br />

appreciation for the craft. It<br />

takes a lot of time and it can<br />

be quite expensive.”<br />

Kim has crafted over one<br />

hundred pieces since she began.<br />

In recent years, she created<br />

ten stained glass nativity<br />

sets. Her pieces are not<br />

sold, but given away as gifts.<br />

Her most challenging project<br />

has been a lampshade<br />

that has 64 bevels in it. It is<br />

a very difficult piece that has<br />

been a work in progress. Kim<br />

assures that the red, white,<br />

blue and clear lampshade<br />

will be completed “one of<br />

these days”.<br />

Also showing their craft<br />

that day were Mendell and<br />

Wilda Athen. Mendell had<br />

his first taste of woodworking<br />

as a high school student<br />

in Hamburg; In shop class,<br />

where he crafted his very<br />

first cedar chest.<br />

Mendell started building<br />

them for sale shortly after his<br />

retirement as district manager<br />

of Aztec Seed Co. in the<br />

early 80’s. He aquired some<br />

cedar logs on a work trade<br />

and then purchased a shopsmith<br />

from his son-in-law’s<br />

father <strong>to</strong> cut the lumber.<br />

One day he <strong>to</strong>ld his wife<br />

Wilma, “I think my woodworking<br />

needs dressing up,”<br />

so he bought her woodburning<br />

supplies, and after a<br />

class, she <strong>to</strong>ok off with many<br />

creative ideas.<br />

Mendell and Wilma spent<br />

over a decade travelling <strong>to</strong><br />

thousands of craft shows. The<br />

convention craft shows in the<br />

west <strong>to</strong>ok them <strong>to</strong> L.A., Reno,<br />

Salt Lake <strong>City</strong> and many other<br />

destinations. They would<br />

return <strong>to</strong> Missouri for wood<br />

and then back <strong>to</strong> the workshop.<br />

In addition <strong>to</strong> making cedar<br />

chests, Mendell constructs<br />

boxes of all sizes, foots<strong>to</strong>ols,<br />

rocking horses, cup <strong>hold</strong>ers,<br />

a dice game and many other<br />

special order items.<br />

Wilma can add many different<br />

wood burning images <strong>to</strong><br />

the cedar boxes. Images from<br />

pictures, as well as a variety<br />

of other choices, are available<br />

as options.<br />

A good crowd <strong>to</strong>ok in the<br />

exhibit. The <strong>Mound</strong> <strong>City</strong> Nutrition<br />

Site offers these ‘Show<br />

and Tell’ Events on the first<br />

Wednesday of each month.<br />

The interest and attendance<br />

continues <strong>to</strong> grow as area<br />

residents showcase their talents.<br />

the conference’s au<strong>to</strong>matic<br />

bid <strong>to</strong> the NCAA Division II<br />

Softball Tournament.<br />

ESU opened the <strong>to</strong>urnament<br />

with a 9-0 win over<br />

Washburn and then fell <strong>to</strong><br />

Missouri Western 6-1 sending<br />

them <strong>to</strong> the losers bracket.<br />

Sen. Lager secures funds<br />

for Graves-Chapple Farm<br />

Sen. Brad Lager, R-<br />

Maryville, is pleased <strong>to</strong> announce<br />

the Graves-Chapple<br />

Research Farm will receive<br />

more than $500,000 of funding<br />

<strong>to</strong> develop a new education<br />

facility and continue its<br />

educational mission. Graves-<br />

Chapple Farm is part of the<br />

University of Missouri extension<br />

program and is a research<br />

facility dedicated <strong>to</strong><br />

improving agricultural production<br />

and profitability of<br />

northwest Missouri farmers.<br />

“The availability of resources<br />

<strong>to</strong> complete the promises<br />

made through the Lewis and<br />

Clark Discovery Initiative<br />

could not have come at a better<br />

time,” said Lager. “These<br />

programs are vital <strong>to</strong> rural<br />

Missouri, and I’m very proud<br />

<strong>to</strong> see promises kept in fulfilling<br />

the commitment made <strong>to</strong><br />

fund these projects.”<br />

Graves-Chapple Farm was<br />

established in 1988 and is located<br />

in southwest Atchison<br />

County and northwest Holt<br />

The win advanced ESU<br />

<strong>to</strong> the NCAA Division II<br />

Tournament for their sixth<br />

straight year. The Hornets<br />

were awarded the No. 4 seed<br />

in the NCAA South Central<br />

Region hosted by the No.<br />

1 seed Angelo State. They<br />

played Nebraska-Omaha<br />

in the opening round of the<br />

South Central Regional-1<br />

on Friday, May 8. ESU had<br />

a 3-2 win over Nebraska-<br />

Omaha at the opening of the<br />

<strong>to</strong>urnament, but fell twice<br />

on Saturday <strong>to</strong> finish the<br />

<strong>to</strong>urnament.<br />

In 2008, ESU was the<br />

national runner-up. Humbolt<br />

State won the National<br />

Championship with a 1-0<br />

vic<strong>to</strong>ry over Emporia State.<br />

Lauren Loucks, daughter<br />

of Steve and Debbie Loucks,<br />

has been the Assistant Softball<br />

Coach at Emporia State<br />

University for the past six<br />

years.<br />

County. Its research and<br />

demonstrations deal with<br />

various agronomic practices<br />

with a major emphasis on<br />

corn and soybeans. The funding<br />

for the new educational<br />

facility had been eliminated<br />

early in the 2009 Legislative<br />

Session, before additional<br />

funding resources had been<br />

made available for critical<br />

capital improvement projects<br />

throughout the University of<br />

Missouri system.<br />

“The completion of this<br />

project will ensure the continued<br />

development of educational<br />

opportunities and<br />

agricultural research in rural<br />

Missouri,” said Lager. “I am<br />

amazed at the work that is<br />

done at the Graves-Chapple<br />

Farm and I am glad that we<br />

can continue <strong>to</strong> support their<br />

efforts <strong>to</strong> improve agricultural<br />

development in Missouri.”<br />

First elected <strong>to</strong> the Missouri<br />

House in 2002, Sen. Lager<br />

now represents the people of<br />

sixteen counties in northwest<br />

Missouri that comprise the<br />

A primer on basic gardening,<br />

part 6- by Tim Baker,<br />

Horticulture Specialist, University<br />

of Missouri Extension,<br />

Daviess County<br />

In my last column, I discussed<br />

watering, which is a<br />

critical management practice<br />

for successful gardening. This<br />

time, I would like <strong>to</strong> cover<br />

weed control.<br />

Weeds are the long-standing<br />

enemies of all gardeners. A lot<br />

of time and effort can be spent<br />

fighting weeds. If they are not<br />

controlled, they will compete<br />

with your crop for water and<br />

nutrients. Many weeds also<br />

harbor diseases and insect<br />

pests. Thus, it’s critical <strong>to</strong> keep<br />

weeds under control.<br />

When you plant your crop,<br />

be sure you have the correct<br />

distances between the rows<br />

and between the plants within<br />

the row. The idea here is that<br />

by using the correct distances,<br />

you will have the optimal plant<br />

density per square foot. That<br />

is important for plant health<br />

and yield, but it is also critical<br />

for weed control. If the plant<br />

density is <strong>to</strong>o light, weeds will<br />

not be shaded well, and will<br />

grow. If the plant density is<br />

<strong>to</strong>o heavy, yields will suffer<br />

and disease pressure may increase.<br />

Be sure that you plant at<br />

the correct time as well. If you<br />

plant <strong>to</strong>o early, plant growth<br />

will be slow and weeds can<br />

easily outgrow your crop. If<br />

you plant <strong>to</strong>o late, hot weather<br />

may reduce plant growth in<br />

some crops, allowing weeds<br />

that are well-adapted <strong>to</strong> heat<br />

<strong>to</strong> thrive. It seems that there<br />

is always a weed ready <strong>to</strong> take<br />

advantage of a stressed crop,<br />

so, plant at the optimal time.<br />

Chemical weed control is<br />

possible for some large-scale<br />

vegetable crops, but in a home<br />

garden situation, it’s tricky.<br />

Most gardens have plants of<br />

different species in close proximity<br />

<strong>to</strong> each other. A chemical<br />

that may be safe for one<br />

species may injure another.<br />

It’s best <strong>to</strong> look elsewhere for<br />

weed control methods.<br />

Mechanical methods of weed<br />

control, such as hoeing, tilling,<br />

cultivating, etc., are classics,<br />

and do well. They also can be a<br />

lot of work. That’s not all bad,<br />

since exercise is a great sidebenefit<br />

of gardening.<br />

But for many people, time is<br />

limited. A little <strong>to</strong>uchup hoeing<br />

on the weekend works well,<br />

but for everyday weed control,<br />

they need a full-time solution.<br />

Mulching is the answer.<br />

Mulch has several advantages<br />

and weed control is its high<br />

point. There are few weeds<br />

that can germinate and make<br />

it through 2-3 inches of a good<br />

mulch. Mulch also reduces<br />

evaporation from the soil surface,<br />

thus conserving moisture<br />

and reducing the need for irrigation.<br />

It also maintains an<br />

even soil temperature.<br />

Mulches may be made of organic<br />

materials, such as straw.<br />

Or you can use man-made materials,<br />

such as black plastic.<br />

Both have their places. And<br />

there’s a right and wrong way<br />

<strong>to</strong> use them.<br />

For example, black plastic is<br />

great in the spring, when you<br />

need <strong>to</strong> warm up the soil so<br />

that your crop can grow faster.<br />

In summer’s heat, you don’t<br />

need <strong>to</strong> warm your soil, so you<br />

should cover the black plastic<br />

with an organic mulch if it’s<br />

not shaded well by the crop.<br />

Organic mulches are great<br />

in the summer, but have drawbacks<br />

in cool weather. They<br />

insulate the soil, and prevent<br />

it from warming up. That’s<br />

not good if you are growing<br />

a warm-season crop such as<br />

<strong>to</strong>ma<strong>to</strong>es. If you’re not using<br />

a heat-gaining material such<br />

as black plastic, it’s best <strong>to</strong><br />

leave the soil bare and remove<br />

weeds by hand. Save the organic<br />

mulches for later.<br />

One precaution: Don’t use<br />

raw manure as mulch. There<br />

are real concerns that pathogens<br />

might get on your food.<br />

Also, many manures are simply<br />

<strong>to</strong>o “hot”, and may cause<br />

injury <strong>to</strong> your crop.<br />
