Wind Capital Group- Is the force behind one of the Atchison County area wind farms 

and is now looking to start a project in Holt County. 

Wind Capital Group proposed project 

would be largest in Missouri 

Wind Capital Group out 

of St. Louis, MO, envisions 

Holt County as a good place 

for a wind farm. 

A proposed 300 megawatt 

wind farm that would cover 

a broad area of Holt County 

has been proposed to landowners 

for their consideration. 

Many individuals have expressed 

interest in seeing a 

wind farm in Holt County, 

and landowners representing 

several thousand acres 

have already signed agreements 

with Wind Capital 

Group for the project. 

Wind Capital’s proposed 

wind towers would not be 

The United States passed 

Germany to become #1 in the 

world in wind power installations, 

and China’s total capacity 

doubled for the fourth 

year in a row. Total worldwide 

installations in 2008 

provided more than 27,000 

megawatts (MW), dominated 

by the three main markets 

in Europe, North America 

and Asia. Global wind energy 

capacity grew by 28.8% 

last year, even higher than 

the average over the past 

decade, to reach total global 

installations of more than 

120,800 MW. New wind power 

generation capacity grew 

36% more than in 2007. 

There is a huge and growing 

global demand for emission-free 

wind power, which 

can be installed quickly, 

virtually everywhere in the 

world. Wind energy is now 

an important player in the 

world’s energy market. The 

global wind market for turbine 

installations in 2008 

was worth about 47.5 billion 

dollars. The massive growth 

in the US wind market in 

2008 increased the nation’s 

total wind power generating 

capacity by 50%. The new 

wind projects completed in 

2008 account for about 42% 

of the entire new powerproducing 

capacity added in 

restricted to Loess Bluffs 

and the project includes the 

southern part of the county 

as well. 

The project could place 

anywhere from 150 to 200 

towers in Holt County, depending 

on the size of the 

turbines used. 

Tom Carnahan, President 

and founder of Wind Capital 

Group came to Mound City, 

to answer questions from local 

landowners. This provided 

a good opportunity to get 

answers from Wind Capital’s 

leadership. 

Wind Capital Group is no 

stranger to a finished project, 

it currently has four wind 

U.S. in race to the top of 

global wind industry 

the US last year, and created 

35,000 new jobs, for a total 

of 85,000 employed in this 

sector in the United States. 

By the end of 2008, however, 

financing for new projects 

and new orders for turbines 

and components slowed to a 

trickle as the financial crisis 

began to hit the wind sector. 

The American Wind Energy 

Association (AWEA) 

praised the agreement 

reached by the U.S. Senate 

and House of Representatives 

on economic recovery

farms operating in Missouri 

alone, and will start construction 

on a fifth later this 

year. It was also the force 

behind the Loess Hills Wind 

Farm which resulted in the 

first fully wind-powered city 

in the U.S. 

The Holt County project 

will be known as Wildcat 

Ridge. At 300 megawatt 

capacity, it will not be the 

largest project Wind Capital 

has developed, but it would 

be the largest wind farm in 

Missouri. The project would 

provide new jobs and a substantial 

expansion of the 

Holt County tax base. 

legislation, which includes 

several provisions intended 

to spur development of wind 

and other renewable energy 

industries in the current 

adverse economic and financial 

climate. The agreement 

includes a key measure, a 

grant program, which the 

industry considers essential 

to sustaining wind energy 

growth. The grant measure 

was included in the House 

bill and retained in the final 

package with a few modifications. 

Simple and satisfying 

are words that sum up 

how Duck Inn Café owner, 

Charmaine Flint, describes 

her success at being an entrepreneur. 

“If we can continue to 

say, we love to cook and do 

it without thinking of it as 

work, then we can continue 

on,” said Flint, “our community 

members make it 

easy to serve them because 

they are always grateful 

and say so.” 

The Duck Inn Café specializes 

in homecooking, 

baked goods, with a mix of 

old with the new, including 

an espresso bar with several 

different flavored coffees 

from which to choose. 

The café is located on Main 

Street in Craig, a little off 

the beaten path of busy 

traffic, leaving Flint to rely 

heavily on advertising to 

make her business a go. 

“Craig is a small town 

Wind energy projects in Missouri 

and may not be able to continually 

support the Café 

alone, so we rely on other 

towns and freeway traffic 

to help support the café,” 

Flint said. “It makes advertising 

absolutely necessary.” 

That is where Northwest 

Missouri Enterprise Facilitation 

(NWMEF), a free 

and confidential economic 

development service, comes 

into the equation. NWMEF 

provides multiple ideas to 

get the word out. 

NWMEF is an economic 

development project 

trained by the Sirolli Institute 

and serves six counties 

including Andrew, Atchison, 

Gentry, Holt, Nodaway 

and Worth. Services are offered 

completely free and 

are strictly confidential. 

NWMEF is a not-for-profit 

organization. For more information

Flint said, “It has been 

good to have good business 

communication and guidance. 

It’s helpful to look at 

different ideas on advertising.” 

Flint does not believe in 

just having a business in 

the community, she makes 

it her mission to be active 

in holiday and community 

celebrations. She also opens 

the Café as a community 

center on Friday nights, offering 

board games, cards, 

dominoes and pool for children 

and adults to enjoy. 

“We are committed to 

having a pleasant atmosphere 

and becoming a café 

that Craig is proud to call 

its own,” commented Charmaine.

Site 

The Senior Citizens of Holt 

County and the Mound City 

Nutrition Site have teamed 

up to create a new project 

that should provide some 

creative insights to area 

residents and their hobbies 

or crafts. 

The first Wednesday of 

each month is being set aside 

to feature different persons 

with their crafts, hobbies or 

projects. The project is effectively 

named ‘Show and 

Tell”. 

Starting March 4, displays 

will be set up from 

10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. and 

at 11:45 a.m. time will be set 

aside for explanations and 

demonstrations. 

The first four months have 

already been booked with 

the following demonstrators: 

March 4- Marjorie Frost 

and quilts. Marjorie is on the 

American Quilters website. 

April 1- Helen Derr and 

handmade dolls. 

May 6- Mendell and Wilda 

Athen with various sizes of 

handcrafted wooden chests. 

June 3- Joan Smith with 

paintings. 

Other features are being 

considered for later months. 

For more information contact 

Katheryn Swymeler.

Food Check-Out Week- Celebrates how America’s food 

supply is the most affordabe in the world. U.S. consumers 

typically spend slightly less than 10% of their annual 

disposable income on food. Pictured are Holt County Farm 

Bureau board members Jason Kurtz, Albert Noellsch, Sheri 

Meadows and Scott Meadows. 

Food Check-Out Week targets healthy 

foods and thanks farmers 

Farm Bureau celebrates 

its Food Check-Out Week 

February 15-21. Now in its 

eleventh year, Food Check- 

Out Week highlights America’s 

safe, abundant and affordable 

food supply, made 

possible largely by America’s 

productive farmers and 

ranchers, according to Becky 

Livengood, Holt County’s 

Farm Bureau agent. 

The most recent information 

from the United 

States Department of Agriculture’s 

(USDA) Economic 

Research Service indicates 

that American families and 

individuals spend, on average, 

less than 10 percent of 

their disposable personal 

income for food. Other countries 

spend a much larger 

percentage on food. For example 

in France, residents 

spend 14 percent; Japan, 15 

percent; China, 35 percent; 

Philippines, 37 percent; and 

Indonesia, 46 percent. 

Food is affordable, safe 

and abundant in America. 

However, in today’s tough 

economic times, shoppers 

are concerned that the cost 

of a healthy diet is becoming 

out of reach. According to a 

USDA study, the cost of eating 

healthy hasn’t changed 

as much as less-healthy alternatives. 

Eating healthy 

food within a budget does 

require smart shopping. 

As shoppers scan the food 

aisles in their favorite mar- 

ket, they are looking for the 

best buy on foods that will 

meet the nutritional needs 

of their families. A March, 

2008, USDA report favorably 

supports the economics 

of healthier eating. Recent 

food price data show 

that prices for unprepared, 

readily available fresh 

fruits and vegetables have 

remained stable relative to 

desserts and snack foods, 

such as chips, ice cream and 

cola. Therefore, as defined 

by foods in the study, the 

price of a “healthier” diet 

has not changed compared 

to an “unhealthy” diet. 

It takes the average 

American just five weeks to 

earn enough money to pay 

for their family’s annual 

food supply according to 

Livengood. The Holt County 

Farm Bureau will utilize 

this opportunity to share 

information about the important 

role of agriculture 

in providing a healthy food 

supply.

Two Missouri State Highway 

Patrolmen arrived at the 

location and were joined by 

two Maryville Public Safety 

officers and the Nodaway 

County Sheriff. 

The suspicious person had 

broken into a residence and 

was reported to be in the 

kitchen area of the home with 

a single shot rifle. 

The officers entered the residence 

from the garage and 

went into the kitchen area, 

where the suspect was standing, 

holding a gun. 

A trooper repeatedly ordered 

the suspect to drop the 

weapon, but the suspect instead 

raised the gun toward 

the officers. 

The trooper, fearing for his 

life and the life of the other officers, 

fired his service weapon, 

striking the suspect in the 

right arm. 

The suspect was secured 

and transferred by ambulance 

to St. Francis Hospital in 

Maryville. It has been determined 

that the weapon used 

by the suspect was a BB gun. 

The trooper involved in the 

shooting has been placed on 

routine administrative leave 

pending completion of the 

investigation. The Missouri 

State Highway Patrol’s Division 

of Drug and Crime Control 

is investigating the shooting.

goodies that they usually make themselves. 

Again this year they delivered over 70 

plates of cookies, etc., in the Craig, Mound 

City, Forest City, and Oregon areas. 

This year the Sunrise Club at Oregon 

met on Sunday evening, February 8, to 

prepare the cookies and delivered a majority 

of them on Monday. The Sunrise Clover 

Kids also did their duty by walking around 

the Oregon square as a group even though 

it was very windy. 

The new club at Craig, the Clever Clovers, 

took part this year also and met on 

Monday, February 9, to make the cookies, 

and passed them out with “smiles” and 

Happy Valentine’s Day greetings on the 

following day. 

Teresa Kurtz, YPA, says, “Thanks to all 

the 4-H families for assisting with this 

task.”

Jefferson City for 

motivational conference 

Holt County Smokebusters traveled to Jefferson 

City, MO, February 10-11 for the first Show- 

Me Smoke Free Youth Summit. 

The theme for the event was “Time to clear 

the air” and the leadership conference was held 

at the Capitol Plaza Hotel. Approximately 500 

students and 150 adults attended. 

Motivational speakers addressed the students 

helping them work through topics such as 

“helping your friends quit” and “Missouri laws 

in buying and selling tobacco”. Mini sessions 

and activities also gave some hands-on participation. 

Some of the activities Holt County students 

enjoyed were: “Find out how you will age as a 

smoker vs. as a non-smoker” with auto-aging 

photos and “Making your own anti-tobacco poster 

with you in the poster”. Students also enjoyed 

exploring the state capitol and The Marching 

Warriors drumline from St. Louis, MO. 

The students also learned that on average 

across the U.S., 20 % of the population are smokers. 

Interestingly, in Missouri’s population the 

percentage is 27.8%. Missouri ranks 49th out 

of all states for awareness and prevention programs. 

Smokebusters is a three-year program dedicated 

to promoting healthy, tobacco-free environments 

through policy change in order to 

decrease exposure to secondhand smoke and reduce 

tobacco initiation and use among youth. 

The local Holt County Smokebusters have 

been instrumental in purchasing metal signs 

promoting tobacco-free campuses for each county 

school. The Smokebusters raised money and 

were solely responsible for these signs. Patrons 

have been very respectful and supportive of the 

tobacco-free campus policy and this is much appreciated 

by Smokebuster members.

Great Northwest Wholesale Water 

Commission one step closer to reality 

The idea of a regional water 

system for northwest Missouri 

became a little clearer last month 

as officials with the Water Partnership 

for Northwest Missouri 

announced a new organization 

would soon be formed to help get 

drinking water to retail providers 

throughout the region. 

The Water Partnership is a 

grassroots volunteer organization 

that has been meeting for 

over three years to develop ways 

of solving northwest Missouri’s 

drinking water problems. Tye 

Parsons, director of the Northwest 

Missouri Regional Council 

of Governments and co-chair of 

the Water Partnership noted, 

“Drinking water in northwest 

Missouri is a substantial challenge. 

Not only do you have 

surface water systems that are 

susceptible to drought, but you 

also see many towns with shallow 

groundwater wells which 

are threatened by continually 

decreasing underground water 

levels. The Water Partnership 

was formed to examine the ways 

that a regional approach could 

be used to guarantee a source of 

safe, abundant drinking water 

for the entire region.” 

At the Water Partnership’s 

Water Symposium held on January 

30, Bill Hills, Water Partnership 

consultant, noted that, 

of the 39 water systems in the 

12-county region with their own 

water source, only 11 have an 

estimated lifespan of 15 years or 

more. Hills, who has more than 

40 years of experience working 

with northwest Missouri water 

systems, said, “The source and 

water treatment plants for some 

of the water systems have outlived 

their useful life, and need 

to either be replaced or the systems 

should purchase treated 

water from another source.” 

D.J. Gehrt, city administrator 

for the City of Plattsburg and 

chair of the Water Partnership 

transition subcommittee, reported 

that the Water Partnership 

had voted to form a new legal 

entity under Chapter 393 of the 

Missouri Revised State Statutes. 

The new organization, known 

as the Great Northwest Wholesale 

Water Commission, will be 

formed with the express goal of 

constructing a 12-county wholesale 

water network that will provide 

safe drinking water to those 

cities and water districts that 

need a dependable, high-quality 

water source. When asked about 

the timetable for construction 

Gehrt explained, “We obviously 

aren’t going to benefit from this 

process tomorrow, or even next 

year, but with proactive planning 

we may be able to design 

a working regional water system 

that can meet the needs of 

northwest Missouri for decades 

to come.” During his presentation, 

Gehrt noted that five water 

systems have tentatively agreed 

to become charter members of 

the Great Northwest Wholesale 

Water Commission, paving the 

way for the commission forma-

So what’s next for the Water 

Partnership? According to Parsons, 

the show goes on the road: 

“The next step is for members 

of the Water Partnership to 

talk with the 83 water systems 

in northwest Missouri about 

the advantages of becoming a 

member of the Great Northwest 

Wholesale Water Commission. 

We know that not every water 

system will join right away, but 

we really need a good number of 

committed water systems to get 

this project off the ground.”

Nodaway-Holt FFA has a busy year 

The Nodaway-Holt FFA 

Chapter has been very busy 

this year. 

In August, members completed 

their first project during 

the Graham Street Fair, 

where they had their annual 

Betsy Bingo game and 

worked at the tractor pull 

food stand. In September, the 

chapter helped work the food 

stand at the Dakota Bronc 

Sisk Rodeo as well. 

In November, members sold 

fruit for their winter fundraiser 

and delivered fruit in 

Nodaway- 

Holt FBLA 

news 

This year, the Nodaway- 

Holt FBLA Chapter is under 

new leadership. The new 

chapter advisor is Mr. Roy 

Noellsch. 

The chapter has completedits 

annual Red Wheel 

Fundraiser, where every 

member sells ten items 

and is then able to attend 

the spring field trip. Members 

sold these items during 

the month of December 

and profits are being used 

to help fund the spring trip 

and send the chapter officers 

to the State Leadership Conference 

in April. The chapter 

also donates a portion of 

the profits to the March of 

Dimes. 

The chapter officers were 

also busy planning activities 

for FBLA Week. This year’s 

dress-up days were Tuesday- 

Famous Millionaire Day, 

Wednesday-Business Attire 

Day, Thursday-Opposite 

Day, and Friday-Favorite 

FBLA t-shirt. 

During the week, there was 

a scavenger hunt for FBLA 

symbols around the school 

and a daily trivia question 

about FBLA history. To end 

the week, the chapter had a 

party to celebrate. 

Upcoming events for the 

chapter include: District 

Contests, Spring Trip, State 

FBLA Conference, and the 

end-of-the year party. 

December. The goal was to 

sell 20 items per person, and 

as a reward, the FFA members 

attended the annual ski 

trip to Weston on February 7. 

There are still many activities 

planned for the coming 

months. FFA Week is February 

23 through the 27 and the 

chapter will be attending the 

Kansas City Farm Show to 

kick off the week on Friday, 

February 20. During FFA 

Week, members will dress 

up for different days. Monday 

is Truck Day or Hillbilly 

Day, Tuesday is dress up like 

your favorite country singer, 

Wednesday is Tractor Day/ 

Cammo Day, Thursday is 

Western Day, and Friday is 

wear your favorite FFA shirt. 

Tuesday is also Greenhand 

day, which is where all freshman 

FFA members get their 

hands painted green. The 

FFA officers will also be serving 

a pancake breakfast for 

all teachers that day. 

The Chapter is looking forward 

to the rest of the year’s 

events which include: District 

Contests, State FFA Leadership 

Conference and the end 

of the year cookout. Members 

are very excited at how the 

year has turned out so far 

and hope that next year is 

equally successful.

of the first quarter and were up 37-17 by the break.

on Friday, February 13. The Lady Trojans fell to the 

Lady Panthers 21-74. The Trojans lost to the Panthers 35- 

63. 

For the Lady Trojans, hitting two of sixteen from the field,

fell behind 9-49 at the half. The team continued to work 

hard and came out after the break and put up 10 points for 

a good third quarter.

rebounds. Hailey and Alycia Keith added four points each.

down five rebounds and Darcy had one rebound. Whitney

them within three of the Mound City Panthers. A dry second 

quarter had them leave the break behind 19-34. 

Putting eight points up on the board in each of the remaining 

two quarters, couldn’t put the Trojans in reach of 

the Panthers. 

Leading the Trojan scoring was Michael Brown with 11 

points. Zach Lemar added eight points and Carson Long 

had seven points. Blake Shamberger and Patrick O’Riley 

had four points each and Nick Christian had a point.

Lady Panthers lost a close 

31-35 contest with the number 

one state ranked Lady 

Longhorns. The Panthers 

beat the Longhorns 61-19. 

The Lady Panthers started 

their first quarter attack 

when Synthia Murphy took 

the ball in on a shooting 

drive and Sammy Jackson 

fouled her. Murphy made 

the free throws and the 

Lady Panthers finished the 

quarter up 7-2. 

The Lady Longhorns 

found offense from six players 

in the second quarter 

to tie the score at 13 by the 

half. 

A slow offensive third 

quarter and a slew of Longhorn 

breaks, kept the Lady 

Panthers from keeping up 

with the Lady Longhorns 

who had a 23-17 lead by the 

end of the third quarter. 

The Lady Panthers 

trailed the final period, but 

with a couple free throws,

early 16-3 lead over the

Horticulture tips from 

University of Missouri Extension- 

by Tim Baker, Horticulture 

Specialist, University 

of Missouri Extension, Daviess 

County 

Winter bulb storage 

If you have brought bulbs 

inside to store for the winter, 

don’t forget them. Make sure 

they don’t dry out and are 

stored at the proper temperature. 

Check them periodically, 

in order to remove bulbs that 

have become soft or diseased. 

If you take good care of them, 

you’ll be rewarded with a 

beautiful display after you 

plant them next spring. 

Hanging vegetables 

When planning your vegetable 

garden this summer, 

you might consider planting 

a few vegetables in hanging 

baskets to place on your 

porch, deck, or patio. Bush 

cucumbers, small tomato 

varieties, or even lettuce or 

greens can be grown in small 

containers and hung at a convenient 

height. Many herbs, 

including chives, parsley and 

thyme are also well-suited to 

baskets. 

Pruning neglected fruit 

trees 

Pruning fruit trees which 

haven’t been properly cared 

for can be a challenge. Don’t 

try to correct all the errors 

in just one year. Spread your 

work out over several years, 

in order to discourage excessive 

growth and injury to 

large limbs due to too much 

sunlight. The goal is to gradually 

lower the tree height to 

a manageable level, removing 

surplus scaffold limbs, and 

eliminating weak, damaged, 

and dead wood. If you take 

your time, you’ll eventually 

be rewarded with a strong, 

healthy fruit tree.
