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 />

Missouri Army National<br />
Guardsmen, Chris<strong>to</strong>pher Owens,<br />
<strong>Mound</strong> <strong>City</strong>, and Timothy<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 />
mower, I’m going <strong>to</strong> go yellow<br />
and let the dandelions take<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 />

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