Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday Fellowship Breakfast of Macon The Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday Fellowship Breakfast Of Macon, Missouri, Monday, January 19, 2015-6:00amMacon United Methodist Church
The M.L.K. Breakfast was first held in Macon in January of 1990, Sponsored by Macon Ministerial Alliance, The Concerned Citizens Organization, and the Bethel AME church. Rev. Jordan Davis, breakfast originator, was then pastor of Bethel. His vision was to bring the entire community together to celebrate our common struggle for brotherhood and equality as preached by Dr. Martin Luther King in his famous “I Have A Dream” speech in Washington DC in 1963 at the height of civil right movement. At the same time, Rev. Davis felt the need to do something to help people in need. Therefore, he asked that those who attended would give a freewill donation to be used in the Utilicare Program to help the needy with high winter utility bills. The response was very successful. Today, that money is handled through the Macon County Ministries to assist those in need. After successfully coordinating the breakfast event for 2 year, Rev. Davis moved from this area to pastor in California. He left the breakfast as a gift to the Macon community and asked that Macon Ministers and the Concerned Citizens Org. continue to

sponsor it, and bring the community together at the beginning of each New Year. The tradition has continued since that time, until 2007 when icy conditions caused the first cancellation in 17 years. 200-250 citizens have attended each year. The Concerned Citizens Organization and the Macon County Ministries have led the way by drawing our churches, community, businesses, educators, youth and elected officials together to fellowship over breakfast, to remember Dr. King’s life and teachings, to celebrate out progress toward the dream, and to plan for continued growth as loving and caring community.

During the Christmas counting period, which began at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, December 24, and ended 11:59 p.m., on Sunday, December 28, 2014, Troop B officers investigated 10 traffic crashes, which resulted in one injury.

Heartland Headlines Pastor Charlie and Laurie Sharpe, along with a few guests from Heartland, attended the year end convention for Ozark National Life Insurance Company in Puerto Rico last week. This convention marked the fiftieth anniversary for Ozark National Life, so it was a time of great celebration. The convention also coincided with the 25th wedding anniversary for Pastor Charlie and Laurie. Twenty-five years ago, the Sharpes threw a surprise wedding at the end of Ozark’s national convention. Many of the folks who attended that wedding are still with the company. All the agents

Red Cross Offers Winter Safety Tips
Here are ten ways to stay safe during this latest round of cold temperatures: 1. Wear layers of lightweight clothing to stay warm. Gloves and a hat will help prevent losing body heat. 2. Know the signs of hypothermia confusion, dizziness, exhaustion and severe shivering. If someone has these symptoms, they should get immediate medical attention. 3. Watch for symptoms of frostbite including numbness, flushed gray, white, blue or yellow skin discoloration, numbness or waxy feeling skin. 4. Bring the pets indoors. If that’s not possible, make sure they have enough shelter to keep them warm and that they can get to unfrozen water. 5. Avoid frozen pipes - run water, even at a trickle, to help prevent them from
freezing. Keep the thermostat at the same temperature day and night to help avoid freezing pipes. 6. Do not use a stove or oven to heat the home. 7. Space heaters should sit on a level, hard surface and anything flammable should be kept at least three feet away. 8. If using a fireplace, use a glass or metal fire screen large enough to catch sparks and rolling logs. 9. Turn off space heaters and make sure fireplace embers are out before leaving the room or going to bed. Learn how to treat cold weather related emergencies by downloading the free Red Cross First Aid App at redcross.org/apps. More information about winter safety is available on redcross.org.

The Shepherd Calls
by Dr. H. Wade Paris
Triumphant Living You likely have read or seen on the news the story of seven year old Sailor Gutzler who survived the plane crash which killed her father, mother, sister and cousin. Dressed in clothes designed for Florida weather where they visited recently, she climbed from the wreckage of the plane and walked a mile in freezing weather and briar filled undergrowth to get help. Her story is a mixture of terrible tragedy and extraordinary courage. Sailor’s father was an experienced pilot. Something went wrong. He radioed engine trouble then quickly lost contact. Sailor arrived at an Eddyville, Kentucky home bleeding, shivering, distressed but able to communicate far beyond her years and circumstances. Most tragedies are beyond comprehension, “Why did this happen?” On the other hand, people often find courage they didn’t know they had when tragedy strikes. If you had read this story in a book of fiction, you might have said, “Stuff like that doesn’t happen. A seven year old is not that mature.” Not to belittle this horrific event, but life is like that—a
mixture of good and bad. Joseph’s brothers were jealous and sold him into Egyptian slavery. Horrific! Cruel! Yes! Years later, Joseph, now a ruler in Egypt, forgave them and rescued them from starvation. Noble? Yes! After a sickening attempt to exterminate the apostle John, his enemies exiled this wounded old man to an Island to die. There on the Isle of Patmos John had a remarkable vision of heaven and eternal life. Bravely, he recorded it all; ever since, the world has been blessed by his message of a place without sorrow or pain, heaven. John saw it. There could be no greater tragedy than the crucifixion of Jesus. Crucifixion even of the guilty was a repulsive event. But in Jesus’ case, he was not guilty of any sin. Misguided religious leaders placed Him on the cross in the name of God. Jesus bravely endured it all. Later, He rose from the tomb to show the world life eternal. Some who read this message will be enduring heartache, maybe even tragedy. Ask God to give you courage; and when the crises passes, be a blessing to others in need. It’s called triumphant living.

The BMC Bulldogs opened play in the Marceline Tournament Monday Night against Meadville. The Eagles entered the game undefeated and the top seed. Meadville showed why they were the top billing early against the Bulldogs. The Eagles swooped in 29 points to the Bulldogs 7 in the first quarter. The Eagles continued to pour it on BMC more than doubling them up each frame until the bench was cleared in the forth. Meadville sent the dog’s home with a 31 to 78 loss. The Bulldogs took out a little frustration on Brunswick Wednesday Night. BMC grabbed an early lead and steadily outpaced the Wildcats throughout the game, it was a nice bound back win for the Bulldogs. BMC moved on to the consolation game with a 55 to 36 victory. The Consolation game matched the Bulldogs against their conference rival Bevier Wildcats. It turned out to not be much of a consolation. The Dogs and Cats would claw and bite at each other throughout the game. It was an even battle in the first with Bevier holding a slight 15-13 lead. The Raiders went wild in the second, they scored 23 and took a lead of 36-33 at the half. In the third the boys went ice cold and were unable to pry the lid off the basket.

The Bulldogs opened the New Year with a home battle against the Scotland County Tigers. The boys of La Plata took to the hardwood to defend the home court in front of the bundled up La Plata faithful. The cold appeared to effect the Bulldogs as Scotland County was able to hold down the La Plata scoring. The loss of Matt Safley to injury did not help the situation for the Bulldogs. La Plata got down early and was not able to recover. Scotland County left town with a 66 to 38 win over the Dogs. Seth Brown had 14 points, Mitch Cox 8 points, Logan Smith 6, Baylon Belt, Jace Brown 4 points and 8 rebounds and Ben Bolden 2 points for La Plata. The Bulldogs headed West on Friday night to face Linn County. It was all even through the first quarter at 11 all, with both teams testing the waters early. The Mustangs galloped out to a six point lead in the second quarter and led at the half 28 to 22. The Dogs roared back at the start of the next half, they went on a long run and outscored the Mustangs by eleven to take a 40 to 35 lead. But in this seesaw game, the Mustangs moved last and finished the game with a run of their own and won this well-played game 56 to 53 game over La Plata. Alek Smith had 14, Jace Brown 5, Ben Bolden 7, Seth Brown 5, Mitch Cox 6 and Baylon Belt 4. La Plata Lumber

The Lady Bulldogs played host to the girls from Scotland County on Tuesday January 6th. The Lady Tigers came into the tilt with La Plata with only one loss this season. The Bulldogs looked forward to making it two. Scotland County however damped that thought with a 16 to 1 first quarter. Things did not really improve that much in the second and the Tigers went to the half with a 35 to 5 lead over La Plata. The Lady Bulldogs evened things up in the second half but were not able to cut into the large lead Scotland County had built. The Lady Bulldogs dropped the contest to a final score of 13-46. Elizabeth Larson had 3 points, Kelsi Hemmerling 3 points and 10 rebounds, Kalie Lene 3 points, Alexis Wood 2 points and Ally Gregory had 2 points. La Plata returned to the road on Friday at Linn County. The Mustangs jumped out early on the Lady Bulldogs outpacing them in the first quarter 13-4. La Plata was able to even it up in the scoring in the second, matching the Mustangs point by point until the half. At Halftime the score stood 22 to 13 Linn County. La Plata showed its heart in the second half as they came roaring back to get within ten points. They would end up dropping the game 39-47. Ally Gregory had 12 points, Lexi Barnes 3, Kalie Lene 10, Kelsi Hemmerling 4 and Elizabeth Larson chipped in 8. Farmers Mutual Insurance Company of Macon La Plata R-II

The Brashear Tigers welcomed the Schuyler County Rams to their home court Friday Night. This was the boy’s first home game of the year and they wanted to reward the home crowd for coming out to support them on such a cold evening. The game got off to a good start, the Tigers battled the Rams to a level 17 to 18 first quarter. The second quarter was the turning point, Schuyler County scored 27 points and held Brashear to 6. At the half the score was 45 to 23 Rams. The Tigers were almost doubled up on the scoring in the third period but came back to even the scoring in the fourth frame. The Rams took the final score 80 to 48 leaving the Tigers out in the cold. Jacob Reeves scored 22, Gabe Thomas 3, Chance Hill 11, Colt Acton 10 and Ty Gottman 2 points.

The Tigers went to war with the Cougars without the leading scorer the last several games Collen Thrasher who was injured. Macon had a one point lead after the first period 13-12. The turning point of the game was the second quarter, Highland outscored the Tigers 17 to 6. Macon did not have an answer for Highlands Austin Richmiller who would go on to score 34 points. Jon Murray would lead a second half charge by the Tigers with 25 points of his own, but they could not overcome that killer second frame and fell to Highland 48-59. Aaron Brown had 9 points, Nolan Bright 7, Ethan Foster 6 and Cole Bisch chipped in 1. The Tigers had a bye for the game and moved on to the Consolation round Friday.

The game started with both teams feeling the other out and was a low scoring 7 all first quarter tie. Then the Tiger exploded, Macon dominated the second frame putting in 20 points and holding the Lady Cardinals to a single point. The Tigers did not let up in the third, the Tigerettes added 19 more and held a 46 to 15 advantage. Macon put it on cruise control for the forth and won going away 55 to 19. The Tigerettes would move on to battle the host Highland Cougars on Wednesday Night. This game would turn out to be a battle of wills between two evenly matched teams.

Macon would pull out a close win and take the two point victory 60 to 58. Macon moves on to the Championship game Saturday against top seeded Palmyra. Due to the late start of the game, the score will not be available by press time. Look for an update on our website maconhomepress.com and in our next edition. Go Tigers!

The Atlanta Lady Hornets opened the 2015 season with a home game against the North Shelby Lady Raiders last Thursday night. The crowd huddled together with a bitter cold wind sending the gathering fans shuffling into the court. The Lady Hornets looked to kick off the New Year with a bang and send the Raiders out to warmup the bus. The Lady Hornets opened with good ball movement around the perimeter but were not able to get the ball inside early. Abbey Rich of North Shelby opened the scoring with a 4 foot jumper and then add another one on her next trip up the court. Jordan Teter would put Atlanta on the board with a layup at the 4:03 make of the first quarter. The Raiders would use an inside outside to extend the lead. Shalyla Collier would go on her own little 4 point run to make the score 9-6 North Shelby at the end of one period. Atlanta again explored the perimeter of the Raider defense, but still could not get the ball inside. Collier however was able to stay hot and put up the next Atlanta point at the free-throw line. Atlanta used a zone defense to force the Raiders outside and went to a motion offense against the Raiders man to man on the other end. Danielle Welch sparked the offense in the second quarter with two running hook shots. The score at the half stood at 16 to 13 Raiders. Atlanta got to within one with a steal by Sheyanne Klamert and a nice dish to Alica Strausbaugh for the layup. Klament played great ball denial with 3 steals in a row and another feed to Collier for the bucket and the first Atlanta lead. Rich gave the lead back to the Raiders at the 5:22 mark as she continued to attack the interior defense. The Raiders would go on a run that was not broken until Welch hit another running hook shot for Atlanta. The two teams would exchange buckets the rest of the third and go into the forth with a score of 28 to 24 North Shelby. The Raiders would extend their defense in the forth to the half court line disrupting the Hornets passing lanes. This lead to another short run by the Raiders. Atlanta answered with a run of its own highlighted by a nice drive to the basket by Teter. North Shelby however was able to press the lead and win the contest 42-30. Welch had 9 points, Strausbaugh 8, Collier 5, Teter 4, Schweiter 3 and Klament 1 for the Hornets. The Boys hoped to follow the game with a different outcome for
the home town Hornets. As in the first game the Raiders open the scoring with a bucket by Dylan Mettes. The Hornets would answer with a 3 pointer by Garett West. Atlanta was having issues with boxing out on the perimeter shots up the Raiders. Tristan Collier takes three defenders to the hole and scores for Atlanta moving them to within one. The Raiders go into full court defense and a tenuous pressure on the ball. The score stood at 18 to 6 with a little over two minutes left in the opening frame. Atlanta goes on a 6-0 run to make the score 18-12 after one. Collan Thrasher opens the period with a bucket from the right side for the home team. The two sides continue to exchange blows highlighted by a nice give and go between Chase Wait and Tristan Collier. The turning point of the contest might have been back to back to back 3 pointers from Mettes for the Raiders. At Halftime the Raiders led the Hornets 35-20. West opens the half for the Hornets with a steal and a layup, Thrasher bookends it with a layup of his own and Atlanta has a 4-0 run. The Raiders answer right back with a 7-0 run of their own. West and Thrasher this time bookend 3 pointers for a 7-0 answer and the two sides trade body blows. North Shelby’s solid defense takes over the last two minutes of the quarter holding Atlanta scoreless and extending the lead to 55-36. The Raiders attacked the post against the Hornets and continued to build on their lead. The two sides started to empty the bench to get more valuable playing time for the entire squad. The game concluded with 10-2 Raider advantage over the last five minutes and they won going away 76-46. West had 21 points, Thrasher, Collier and Howlett added 7 each and Gunnels 4 points for Atlanta.

MU Works to Extend Shelf Life of Ground Beef Researchers at the University of Missouri are finding ways to extend the shelf life of ground beef. They have found that store lighting plays a role in how long meat retains the bright red color that shoppers favor. After price, consumers consider color when buying meat. MU meat scientist Bryon Wiegand said discolored meat accounts for an estimated $1 million in lost revenue annually due to markdowns. And those markdowns have become increasingly costly: Increased demand and reduced supply have pushed retail ground chuck prices to an average of $5.76 per pound. The price gap between premium-priced meats and lower-quality ground product continues to narrow as consumers increasingly prefer ground beef for convenience, Wiegand said. Ground beef ’s shelf life is about three days. Extending that by even a single day can make a big difference. That’s partly because hoppers typically fall into two main categories: planners, who shop for the week’s meals Sunday night, and demand shoppers, who shop Thursday to Saturday. That leaves a day in the middle of the week when ground beef can lose its red appeal and retailers can lose sales.
Changes in meat color and odor result from a variety of causes, including fat content, packaging and exposure to oxygen. Heat from store lighting in display cases also causes color fade. Wiegand and others at MU Extension and MU’s College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources are studying how retailers can keep beef on the shelf a day longer before it’s discounted for quick sale. The National Cattlemen’s Association and Mizzou Advantage fund the study. Wiegand and colleague Carol Lorenzen studied meat color changes under fluorescent and LED lights. Colors were compared against a control group with no light exposure. Meat not subjected to light kept its red color better than either, but meat under LED lights fared better than fluorescent-lit ground beef. Fluorescent lights produced higher temperatures than LED lights and meat turned brown quicker. Wiegand’s information may help retailers reduce losses as low supply and high demand intersect. “If beef is the new gold, let’s do our best to preserve it for the consumer that stays loyal to its purchase,” he said.

Moberly Area Community College is excited to announce the launch of the MACC Fire Academy. Developed in partnership with fire departments in northeast Missouri, the Fire Academy will begin holding classes in March 2015. Classroom instruction will be held at the Kirksville Higher Education Center at 2105 East Normal Street. Practical coursework will occur at local fire department training facilities. Departments partnering with MACC in the academy include the Kirksville Fire Department, Hannibal Fire Department, Moberly Fire Department, and Macon Fire Department. “This collaboration among four cities is an outstanding example of MACC serving our service region,” said MACC President Dr. Jeffery Lashley. “The Fire Academy will address a growing need for emergency personnel certification in both city and rural fire departments across Northeast Missouri. The fire departments in Hannibal, Kirksville, Macon, and Moberly are to be commended for their collective vision in developing this
program.” Fire Academy classes will be offered twice weekly from 6PM to 10PM, with some Saturday practical work. In the future, these classes will be offered in Hannibal, Moberly, and Macon and will rotate each session. Fire Departments in Region B will provide necessary training equipment to help cut the cost of starting up the program. Graduates of the MACC Fire Academy will be prepared to sit for the State of Missouri Department of Public Safety Division of Fire Safety certification testing. The MACC Fire Academy is currently looking for certified instructors. Interested parties should visit macc.edu for more information. An official announcement with local fire and city officials will be held at the Kirksville Higher Education Center on Friday, January 16, 2015, at 1:30PM. After the announcement, the public is invited to an open house, showcasing classrooms and a selection of fire training apparatus.
Missouri House of Representatives
STATE REPRESENTATIVE Tim Remole, 6th District
Capitol Report Volume 2, Issue 1, 1/09/2015
2015 Legislative Session Begins with Focus on Service I joined my colleagues in the Missouri House Wednesday afternoon in the Missouri State Capitol as we took the oath of office and officially began the First Regular Session of the 98th General Assembly. While standing in the historic House Chamber with its majestic marble columns and ornate stained glass windows, I was reminded again of the incredible honor it is to serve as your voice in the halls of government. This is a job that few have the opportunity to do, and I take my duties as your state representative very seriously as I try to stand up for the values and beliefs of the families of our district. I know some of you made the trip to Jefferson City for the inauguration and I thank you for your support and for joining me on this special day. The 7th was a very cold day, and because of that, many called to let me know they were not going to be able to make it. I appreciated them taking the time to let me know, and understand they would have loved to have been there otherwise. We had a great time with many friends and family that made the trip. I want to make sure that line of communication is always open so that you can easily share your ideas and concerns with me on any issue or matter you think is important to our district. 98th General Assembly Features Historic House Republican Majority There is much work to be done this session. Our new majority represents the largest collection of republican’s that have ever served together in the MO House of Representatives. It also brings with it a great deal of responsibility to work for the people of this great state, and to move the state forward. As new House Speaker John J. Diehl, Jr. said in his Opening Day Address, “The voters of Missouri sent an unmistakable message in November, delivered in person today by at least 117 of us. This session and beyond, I will add my voice and my vote to the decisive majority that the voters have given us. I come to this position as a frank believer in certain principles of government, starting with a preference for individual freedom over the power of the state. I am skeptical of an ever-expanding public sector because I put my faith in the private sector and private enterprise – which is, and will always be, the true source of prosperity for our people.” I am excited to work with Speaker Diehl, and all the members of the House leadership team, to advance policies that will keep government on the sidelines and place the people of this great state in a position to achieve and succeed through hard work and dedication. As Diehl also noted in his speech, it is our duty to stand together in support of Missouri’s families and businesses and foster the freedom of workers and innovators to do what they do best. In Diehl’s own words: “Together, we will provide the kind of opportunities that will encourage and foster economic growth and job creation. Together, we will challenge our educational institutions to put students first and to graduate students at all levels who are ready to compete in a 21st century economy. And together, we will work to ensure the doors of opportunity are open to everyone who wants to, and is willing to, put in the hard work and sacrifice necessary to succeed.” Right: Rep. Remole, and colleagues, being sworn into the 98th General Assembly.

The residents that did not go home with their families for the night, were warm, well fed, and loved like family at Salt River Community Care for the night. Their staff went above and beyond, and we will be forever grateful. Our Clarence and Shelbina Community Fire Departments, Shelby County Sheriffs Department, Shelby County Emergency Services, and Missouri State Highway Patrol were simply amazing. There were so many individuals and local businesses that also came and just pitched in wherever needed. Working together, our residents were safe and unharmed. We are so proud of our staff, those that were on duty, and those that came in when they heard of the need. We truly live in a community that cares for each other and we are so thankful for each one of you. May God Bless each of you as you have all been such blessings to us!

• Written by Carolyn Mueller
Well, hi there! My name is
Jay Hanna Dean, or, perhaps you might know me as Jerome Herman Dean or simply J.H. Dean … but never mind all that, you can just call me Dizzy! Dizzy Dean. You’ve heard of me, I suppose? Well, if you haven’t then you should’ve. I think we’ll start from the beginning. I was born in a sharecropper’s cabin near Lucas, Ark., on Jan. 16, 1911. Some might tell ya it was Holdenville, Okla., on Feb. 22, 1911, others Bond, Miss., on Aug. 22. But I’m here to say all that’s nothin’ but hogwash. The facts are Lucas, Ark., on Jan. 16. I simply gave out those other dates and towns to a handful of reporters so that everyone might feel they was gettin’ the real scoop on ol’ Diz. You see, I try to be a nice guy, and I always liked to offer those pesky writers a good story.
even though it’s customary for a new recruit to be at least 18. I was stationed at Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio with Battery C of the 12th Field Artillery and here is where I found my true calling. That’s right, baseball. Sure, I’d picked up a glove and a ball out on the farm a time or two, but there, in the Army, I had two things I’d never had before—a coach and a radio.
I was the best … that’s right, BEST baseball player to ever grace that holy dirt mound 60 feet from home plate. My fastball was unstoppable, my curve just as swell, and there ain’t never been a batter nowhere that I couldn’t strike out if I should just happen to get the fancy. What’s that you say? Me? Bragging? Well, it ain’t bragging if you can back it up.
And why would reporters want the scoop on a poor sharecropper’s son, like me? Well, we’ll get to that. My mama named me Jay Hanna—Jay after the Wall Street man Jay Gould and Hanna after the politician Mark Hanna. A name set up for success. So, where did Jerome Herman come from, you ask? Well, when I was a boy I had a buddy named Jerome Herman. When that lad unexpectedly passed, I went up to his daddy and told him not to worry, from that day forward I would call myself Jerome Herman in his stead. And that’s how I got those two names. It’s all a bit less confusing if I sign my name simply J.H. Dean and go by Dizzy. We’ll leave it at that. I was born ready to take on this big world, and trust me when I say I’ve always been smart and strong enough to do it. But life wasn’t always very easy. My mama passed on when I was just a little one, so I grew up with my daddy and my two brothers—the elder one, Elmer, and the younger one, Paul. We drove from place to place, looking for work as sharecroppers, picking cotton under that hot and heavy sun. I was a boy doing a man’s work, and I quickly grew in strength and size. In 1927, when I turned 16, the Army allowed me to join up, on account of me being so strong and all,
You see, I was a ball player decades ago— before big screen TVs and bobble heads, when all a kid really needed to experience the magic of the game was a few coins or a good radio. It was the dawn of baseball’s Farm System. Thanks to my manager, Branch Rickey, a kid could grow up hurling baseballs next to a cotton field and in only a few short years find himself the starting pitcher in the World Series.
And I can certainly back it up. I had 150 career wins as a pitcher for the Chicago Cubs and the St. Louis Cardinals. Twice I led the National League in shutouts and, these days, you can even find my name in the Hall of Fame. Anyone who ever had the privilege of seeing me play knew that I was the greatest pitcher in the world. I listened to the World Series, and I realized for the first time that a man could make a living playing this game.
Pop ups
SHARECROPPER: A sharecropper is a farmer who does not own land, but raises crops on that land for a portion of the owner’s profits. JAY GOULD was an American railroad developer and speculator who lived from 1836-1892. He is known as the ninth richest U.S. citizen in history. MARK HANNA was a U.S. Senator from Ohio who lived from 1837-1904. He was the friend and political manager of President William McKinley. THE FARM SYSTEM was created by Branch Rickey and became the foundation for modern baseball. Teams were organized in small towns and attracted local talent who developed their skills until they were ready for the Major League. The Farm System allowed teams with smaller budgets, particularly during the Great Depression, to compete with the East and West coast teams with much larger budgets for attracting talented players.
You see, I learned right quick that a man could do more than just make a living—with baseball, a man could be great.
Extra Innings! The Hall of Fame is a goal that many athletes aspire to reach. Look through the newspaper to find an example of a potential hall of fame athlete. Why was Dizzy Dean a newsworthy story for reporters? What are the top news stories in today’s newspaper? Learning Standards: I can identify important information in the news.

Joe Koenen, Agri-Business Specialist 1099 INFORMATION FORMS It’s a New Year and though I know income taxes aren’t on the top of your wish list, it is that time again. I will spend this article reviewing information returns and who needs to worry about getting them sent. Information returns such as 1099 MISC, 1099 INT and 1096 forms to name a few, report non-employee compensation that occurs during a tax year. They are used to report such things as custom work, cash rent, interest and other things. Examples would include: planting, fence building, combining, dozer work and veterinarian services. If you have $600 or more of this, then you are required to send the appropriate 1099 form to that individual by the last day of January. It is different than employees in that employees (a) utilize your tools or equipment while non-employees use their own and (b) employees are paid on a time basis such Photo Left: Missouri American Legion District Two Commander Jack Griffin, runneras per hour, day or week while nonup Emily Torrey, oratorical winner Foster employees are paid on a piece basis such Speichinger, and District Two Oratorical as per acre or square foot or whatever. Chairman Larry Warren. (Photo Submitted) In the past corporations were exempt from having to be sent these but the IRS made an importantchange here beginning in 2014. Veterinarians must now get a 1099 for services over $600 no matter if they are incorporated or not since they provide health care {IRS ruling}. 1096 forms is the form that summarizes all the 1099 forms you sent in that year and are sent to the IRS at the end of February. Daily Lunch Specials You only need one of these Sunday - Turkey no matter if you send one 1099 form or one hundred. Monday ~ Ribeye Sandwich The Farmer‘s Tax Guide Tuesday ~ Cook’s Choice that we have in our office Wednesday ~ Ham & Beans explains the 1099 forms in detail also, if you still need Thursday ~ Meatloaf one of them.

The American Legion Oratorical Contest exists to develop deeper knowledge and appreciation for the U.S. Constitution among high school students. Oratorical Contestants must deliver a no notes five-eight minute prepared oration on the United States Constitution and then speak three-five minutes extemporaneously on one of the twenty-seven amendments, selected the day of the contest. Speichinger received $250.00 for winning the District Two contest. This is the American Legion’s 81st year of conducting the High School Oratorical Contest, which culminates in a national winner who earns scholarships totaling more than $30,000. Missouri has produced the national winner in three of the past four years.

The 2015 Legislative Agriculture Chairs Summit brought together legislators from around the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico for a four-day conference dedicated to fostering discussion among legislators about rural policy issues. Attendees included Steve Taylor from Missouri Agribusiness, who gave a talk on state water quality initiatives; Rep. Jay Houghton, R-Martinsburg, who spoke about captive cervid legislation in Missouri; and Sen. Munzlinger, who led a discussion on Right to Farm and its success in Missouri. “During our meeting this past weekend, I had the pleasure of leading a discussion on Right to Farm and its passage in the Show-Me State,” Sen. Munzlinger said. “Practically every state has watched this go from legislation to the ballot, and the leaders of those states are excited about enacting their own Right to Farm. These are the kinds of success stories I hope to see happen more often throughout our country.”

Ronald Reagan said that government’s approach to business could be summed up in a few short phrases. “If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.” Unfortunately, some things never change. Tuesday, January 6, marks the beginning of the 114th session of Congress. It is imperative that we hit the ground running and move to pass pro-growth legislation that gives small businesses the needed resources to create good paying jobs for hardworking Americans. In these tough economic times, we must make sure the federal government is working with small businesses to help them succeed and create jobs here in America. As Chairman of the Small Business Committee, I led the fight to reduce the burdens the federal government places on small businesses,
G
and I will continue this fight in the new congress. Small businesses are facing many challenges in these tough economic times. Accounting for 7 out of every 10 jobs in America, it will be small businesses that lead our economic recovery. I remain committed to ensuring that they have the support they need to succeed. Whether it is reducing an ever-growing tax burden, giving small businesses the ability to purchase affordable healthcare, stopping frivolous lawsuits, or ensuring access to capital, there are many opportunities to help small businesses. Keeping Main Street healthy is an important part of keeping our economy healthy. I look forward to continuing to support and promote our small businesses as we move forward in the new year.

Food Fandom By Rebecca French Smith Back when there were only four television networks, “The French Chef ” with Julia Child on PBS was one of the first cooking shows in America. Today, entire networks are devoted to food 24/7/365. Along with millions of others, I have fandom for a few TV food shows. Through them, I am afforded a “taste” before committing. They’re a virtual “Mikey,” if you remember the ‘70s Life cereal television commercials. Over the holidays, I found myself watching part of a “Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives” marathon on the Food Network. As a result, I’m planning a road trip to St. Louis to try one of the featured establishments — it looked that good. On the flipside, “Bizarre Foods” on the Travel Channel has me particularly grateful I have choices. Both shows highlight foods people find interesting from classical dishes to trendy “flashes in the pan;” whether appetizing or not is questionable. While I’m no Mikey, I have my own preferences. As I’ve gotten older, I tolerate more, like Brussel sprouts. Those became trendy in 2014, to your mother’s delight. The new vegetable, though, is kalettes, according to a recent NPR story on 2015 food trends. Fifteen years in the making, this hybrid is what you get when you cross kale and Brussel sprouts, in case you see it in a market near you. In 2015, a few intriguing items made the trends list. Things like cannabis and
crickets. “Cricket flour is already showing up in protein bars. Insects are gluten free, high in protein and emit fewer greenhouse gases than cattle,” according to NPR. While those bullet points are noteworthy, I can’t get past crickets. Nope, crickets fall into the “only if I have to” category. Nationally, the term “marijuana edibles” is on the rise. I’m unsure what cannabis brings to a dish. How do you put that on a nutritional label? Would it go under fiber? Spicy food is still in vogue, along with bitter, sweet and fermented food. Anything but bland. “Craft” is the new “artisan.” Quinoa is on its way out. Kaniwa is on its way in. Pork fat is making a comeback. And, we’re discovering matcha, a green tea that’s been consumed in Japan for centuries and allegedly packs an energy-boost punch. Expect to see some of these trends on food shows; indeed, many are already being celebrated as the next big thing. Trends, though, do not always become classics, but merely something about which you can say, with a grin or a grimace, “I tried that once.” For every new ingredient or preparation method, farmers work in the background to make sure we have what we need. So, the projection that the trend of supporting local farmers will last for the next decade isn’t surprising. I’ll wager it goes beyond that; perhaps the ultimate fandom should belong to farmers.

Clarence Chronicles
by Patty Truitt
Well I have been away for a while and believe me I have missed everyone. The last I wrote to you were on Christmas Eve. Christmas day we were home and our son Raymond and Jessica Wood Norma and Bella came for the day. We had dinner; Christmas presents and played games for the afternoon. I was not really sick I just felt a little out of it. I was having a hard time breathing. Friday we were home all day and I was really feeling worse. I could not breath and since the doctor had told me it was my ulcers I kept taking the medicine he gave me but I did not get any better. Saturday we had Christmas again. Daughter Bonnie and Son-in-law John McMurry from Atlanta, Daughter Laura and Granddaughter Katherine from Callao, And Granddaughter Kaylee And her new husband Aaron Majors from Macon. It started as a nice day but I keep feeling a little weaker all day, and I was having a hard time breathing. If I lay down I felt like I was going to drown. I had no air. Sunday morning my brother Jim Cross called me to let me know his wife of 55 years had just died. I was so sorry to hear this because any one who knows Joann knew she was the kindness most giving person who ever lived. Everyone always loved Joann. Monday I did get my family room cleaned and one Christmas tree taken
down. Felt very bad but at least it was cleaned up. That night I couldn’t breath if I lay down so I was up all night. Tuesday I stayed going because I had to go to Joann visitation. She would have not missed mine no matter how sick she was. I had to show her the same respect. Tuesday Kenny and I went to visitation and as soon as I left there I went to Macon Hospital. I was very low on oxygen and had fluid in my lungs. After they got my oxygen level up and I was better they sent me to University Hospital in Columbia. When I got their everyone in Cardiology got right to work taking care of me. I actually have a leaky valve in my heart that is leaking fluids into my lungs. I am all better now and they are hoping to keep this in check with medication. I know what to look for and when to head back to the hospital. My daughter Bonnie came to the hospital Monday to bring me home. We stopped at Hy Vee and got heart healthy food and I am now on a diet of healthy food. We then went to supper and had a nice evening. Today I went to see Dr. Thurman to get the hurts out of my back that I acquired with 6 days in bed. Just Thanking God that I am so much better. Thank you for all my family and to all my friends who have been praying for me. Praying all of you have a great week............Patty

We would like to express our deepest sympathy to the family of Ron Watson. Pam Burris visited a work friend, Esther Willison at Life Center in Brookfield recently. Happy New Year to everyone! New Year Day visitors in the Burris home were Mady and Maddox Tipton of Trenton. Masen Howe was a visitor later in the day. Mike and Melanie Tipton came and pick them up later. Elmer Baptist Church is having Discipleship Training and Prayer Meetings on Wednesday nights at 4 p.m.
Fellowship supper and business meetings are on the second Wednesday night of the month at 6:30 p.m. Elmer Baptist Church next Mission Study will be Sunday, January 18 following a carry-in meal at Noon. BABY VICARS Former pastor of Elmer Baptist Church, now missionaries to India, Zach and Amy Vicars had their first child, a girl born on December 30, 2014 in India. Annabelle Rose Vicars weighed in at 9 pounds and 3 ounces. All are doing fine
Chicken Pot Pie 1/3 cup butter 1/3 cup chopped onion 1/3 cup all-purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper 1 3/4 cups chicken broth
2/3 cup milk 2 cups chopped cooked chicken 1 (14.5 ounce) can peas and carrots 1/2 (15 ounce) can whole new potatoes, drained
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir onion, flour, salt, and pepper in melted butter until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove skillet from heat and pour chicken broth and milk into the skillet; bring the mixture to a boil and cook to thicken slightly, about 1 minute. Remove skillet from heat and stir chicken, peas and carrots, and potatoes into the broth mixture. Press one pie pastry into the bottom of a deep-dish pie pan. Pour the broth mixture into the pie pastry. Top with remaining pastry and press edges together to form a seal. Cut several slits into the top pastry. Place pie plate on a baking sheet. Bake in preheated oven until the crust is golden brown, about 30 minutes. Let pie cool and filling thicken at room temperature for 15 to 20 minutes before cutting.

An icy blast of Arctic air has swooped down and settled in for a few days. I can think of no better way to spend these cold afternoons than curled up with a cup of tea and a good book. Take a look as some of the great reading materials that are now available: Falling Sky by Rajan Khanna is for those who like freaky virus outbreaks that turn humans into zombie type characters. A quick read and a bit scary it has a four out of five rating. Ben Gold, the main character, is living in this dangerous time and working with scientists to find a cure for this beastly disease. His home, an airship, is stolen forcing him to survive on the ground with the 'beasts.' For zombie fans this is a must read. Blue Labyrinth by Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child is #14 in the Pendergast series. Secrets from the distant past are coming back to haunt Special Agent Aloysius Pendergast. It begins with his most feared enemy found dead on his doorstep. Pendergast has no clue as to who is responsible or why the body was brought to his home. When a a piece of turquoise is found in the dead mans stomach, the investigation is lead to an abandoned mine in California which leads to one of his own family secrets and a killer closer to his target. Pick up this thriller now. Dean Koontz fans Innocence is here. Koontz incredible writing talent is once again lifted to a new level. This novel is a bit different than most of his stories. Addison Goodheart is introduced as having such an ugly face that his own mother sent him away at the age of eight. Currently he lives beneath a city and stays out of sight. He is afraid to show his face thinking he will be killed as the man who raised him was years ago. Late one night when he's exploring the city library he meets Gwyneth who is being chased by a man who murdered her father. The two team up, but will they ever really be safe? Put your name on the reading list today.

BBB Offers 10 Resolutions for a Scam-Free New Year
Better Business Bureau (BBB) has 10 resolutions that can help you fight scammers, prevent identity theft and save money in 2015. “Consumers can save themselves a lot of grief it they know the red flags of common scams, research businesses before they buy and get every contract in writing,” said Michelle L. Corey, BBB President and CEO. “BBB Business Reviews and BBB Charity Reviews offer verified information that is available 24/7 on the BBB website. The website also has tips to help consumers with many common transactions.” The following resolutions can help consumers have a safe, scam-free 2015: Always check a business out with BBB before you buy. Nearly 400,000 businesses meet BBB standards and are qualified to use an Accredited Business seal on their websites and at business locations. Visit bbb.org to find BBB Business Reviews for nearly 4 million businesses across North America. Be skeptical of “job offers” that promise easy money. With high unemployment and long job searches common, scammers are targeting people desperate to find jobs. Beware of any job offer, workat-home scheme or business opportunity that promises big money for little work and no experience. Always read the fine print-especially with “free” trial offers. Thousands of consumers complained to BBB this year after signing up for a “free” trial offer online that resulted in repeated charges to their credit or debit cards, sometimes amounting to hundreds of dollars every month. Read the terms and conditions of any “free” trial offer before handing over
credit or debit card numbers. Keep your computer safe. Install anti-virus software on your computer and check regularly for software and operating system updates and patches. Don’t open attachments or click on links in emails unless you can confirm the email came from someone you trust. Never wire money to someone you don’t know. Many scams require that the victim wire money back to the scammers. Scammers know that tracking money sent via MoneyGram, Western Union or Green Dot MoneyPak is extremely difficult.

Using Weather to Hunt Waterfowl With the low visibility of heavy fog, ducks and geese don’t like to fly much, but when they do, they become vulnerable to calling. They don’t like to move much during heavy rains either, but as soon as it’s over they will search for newly flooded areas. If it didn’t rain where they are, they seem to sense that it has rained nearby and will leave to find new water created by the rain. Find that water before they do and be there when they arrive. Cold fronts do push ducks and geese south, but not all the time. Sometimes as they can find suitable areas to roost and feed, they will stick around. On bright, sunny days, ducks and geese don’t move much either unless the temperatures dip. If temps do drop, they will feed actively no matter if it’s sunny or not.

Bits From Bucklin
by Doris Noah
STAYING PUT If you are not acquainted with Junior Bertsley Long then it is certain you are new to this area. This week I had reason to interview this interesting friend and neighbor due to this one fact. You may know Junior but did you know he has lived in the very same house where he was born over 82 years ago? Do you know anyone who is able to make that claim? Many have lived on their family farm for years, but not in the same house. Many have moved away and came back to the home place. Junior has never had a different house. We need to get better acquainted with this fellow, Junior Bertsley Long. He was born at 211 S. Livingston Street in Bucklin on the 11th day of April in the year 1932. His parents, Jim and Effie Long already had 2 sons, John Earl and James Alvin and 3 daughters, Gladys, Mabel and Mary who died at the age of 7 years. While visiting with Jr. it soon becomes apparent he has a real love for people, especially the youth. He said, “Young people won’t lie to you. A lot of old people lie but young people don’t and I like that about them”. Another love is for sports. Not football: not at all. He likes baseball and has been a loyal Cardinal fan for years. He likes fast pitch soft ball and managed a winning team here in Bucklin in 1974. He also likes basketball but declares it is getting way too rough and the referees don’t take charge of the game like they used to. One time years ago he talked Put Smay into taking Jr., his mom and her friend Ethel Walker to the baseball game in St. Louis. He laughed and told how the two ladies had so much fun when the fans started encouraging Lou Brock to steal bases and they shouted right along with the young fans. When the game was over they had a hard time finding their car but finally did get on the road and had a safe trip home. Junior said he really admires the man Barnabas in the Bible. Barnabas was known for being an encouraging person. His name even means Son of Encouragement and Jr. would like to be known as one who encourages. When I asked how things at 211 S. Livingston Street had changed since he was a little boy he said there is a lot more traffic and it goes a lot faster. His first memory is of going from his house to town and crossing the wooden bridge over the Burlington Railroad tracks on highway 129 (which is also Livingston Street for you out of town readers). “Do you have a favorite food “, I asked? He told me he really likes custard pie and banana pie with crushed pineapple in it. His mom made that for him a lot. Don’t try to get him to eat onions or chicken of any kind! Junior graduated from Bucklin R2 with the class of 1950. There were 26 members
of his class and he commented several of them have passed away. He is very proud of the class of 1950! Junior is loyal to his town, church and school. He attends just about every school function and is proud of helping with the merger of Bucklin R-2 and Macon Co. R-4 for sports and other activities. If he is able you will find Junior at the Christian Church every Sunday, at every ball game “his teams” are involved with and up town checking things out every day. Definitely a good neighbor willing to lend a hand where needed and he will stop to visit anytime. Don’t even think he is going to move. He told me the home he has lived in for 82 years now is the only place for him and he is planning to stay right there. If you have lived in the very same house for all your life give me a call. We live in a mobile age where people come and go. Junior is staying put and in my opinion that makes for a story worth telling. AMARYLISS TIME Last year Peggy Michel from down in Louisiana sent several large Amaryliss bulbs up here. I brought mine up from the basement and got it started on the 4th of January. Now if all goes as planned before Easter this dead looking brown bulb will produce a clump of the most beautiful blooms you ever saw. There are 2 more bulbs in the basement and you may have them if you give me a call. This is the time to start them for early spring blooms. LEGION BREAKFAST A reminder: the Legion men are cooking for us Saturday January 17th,. It is a full breakfast served at the Legion Hall. You may put a donation in the jar at the door if you wish to help with maintaining the building and paying for the breakfast supplies. They serve from about 7:00 a m until the gravy is gone. It is a great way to start the day with neighbors and let someone else do the dishes. THAYER One of my New Year’s Resolutions is to get to Thayer. Last year I planned to find this town that is no more and was just a mile or so from our house. Jerry Main and Earl Hays both know all about the little place and both offered to show me where it is so I could explore. I plan to call them up and see if either of them will help me out now. I wanted to wait until the snakes went to sleep for the winter. I do believe they are sound asleep now with our temperature hovering around 10 degrees and lower today. Don’t give up on me. Hopefully you will have a report on Thayer one of these days. Do you have an item for the Bits from Bucklin? If you do please call me at 660 695-3600, email dnoah112@gmail.com or feel free to come by our house anytime with your article. Every item is welcome and just what it takes to make our news newsy.

La Plata FFA Members Say Yes to Opportunity Over 4500 first year FFA members from more than 300 Missouri High Schools had the opportunity to learn about being positive role models, learning to get involved, making sound choices, becoming active team members and making a positive difference in their lives, school and community at the annual Greenhand Motivational Conferences. These conferences presented by the State FFA Officers and sponsored by MFA Incorporated were held January 6-9, 2015 throughout Missouri. Through interactive workshops and skits the State FFA Officers encouraged first-year FFA members to explore and reach outside their comfort zone for the opportunities provided through FFA membership. They helped the new agriculture students set goals for their education, careers, and FFA experience. Eighteen conferences were held at 13 different locations throughout the state: University of Central Missouri, Warrensburg; Bowling Green High School, Bowling Green; Truman State University, Kirksville; Sullivan High School, Sullivan; Three Rivers Community College, Poplar Bluff; Missouri State University, West Plains;

Coming Of Age ... Again! By Melani Kelsey Social Security Operations Supervisor in Kirksville, Missouri
Think back to when you were younger. Life was simple at the kids’ table. The smell of a home-cooked dinner filling the air on a lazy Sunday afternoon and, after dinner, everyone crowding around the TV to watch the last football game of the season. Fast-forward a few years, when the adults first invited you to their table, and your life changed. Your coming-of-age moment had arrived! This rite of passage is a transition from asking permission to giving notice. Coming-of-Age Day in Japan honors all the young people who reached age 20 during the past year. This national holiday takes place on the second Monday of January and celebrates their privileges and responsibilities as new adults. Coming-of-age moments don’t come just once in life. Another important
coming-of-age moment occurs when you decide to retire. Social Security can help. Determining when to retire is a personal decision, influenced by your preferences and lifestyle. We encourage you to go online to www.socialsecurity.gov/pubs and read our fact sheet, When To Start Receiving Retirement Benefits. You may find that this information helps you make an informed decision about the best time to retire. Invest the time to learn what you should do now to enjoy your retirement later. Once you’ve come of age to retire—or even before, while you’re in the planning phase—our quick and convenient online services are available at www. socialsecurity.gov/retireonline. In as little as 15 minutes, you can soar through our online application. It has never been easier to come of age at retirement! Take advantage of our services and resources to make the best decision for you at www.socialsecurity.gov.
In the Arena With Nate Walker A new beginning, the 98th General Assembly to convene… On Wednesday, January 7th, the 98th General Assembly will convene and all members in the legislature will take their oath of office to begin the new Session. It will be a day that will have special ramifications for all legislators, especially for those that are the most newly elected. Every senator or representative elect, before entering upon the duties of his office, shall take and subscribe the following oath or affirmation which is found in the Missouri Constitution in Article III - Section 15- Legislative Department - Oath of Office. The oath of office is as follows: “I do solemnly swear, or affirm, that I will support the Constitution of the United States and of the state of Missouri, and faithfully perform the duties of my office, and that I will not knowingly receive, directly or indirectly, any money or other valuable thing for the performance or nonperformance of any act or duty pertaining to my office, other than the compensation allowed by law.” The oath will be administered in the halls of the respective houses to the members thereof, by a judge of the Missouri Supreme Court or a Missouri Circuit Court, or after the organization by the presiding officer of either house, and shall be filed in the office of the secretary of state. Any senator or representative refusing to take said oath or affirmation shall be deemed to have vacated his office, and any member convicted of having violated his oath or affirmation shall be deemed guilty of perjury, and be forever disqualified from holding any office of trust or profit in the State of Missouri. As you can tell from our Oath of Office, it is nothing to be taken lightly. Our Oath of Office is to be taken with honor and with deep respect to our Constitution and to those that we were elected to serve. Please know that it would be my honor
M K
to have your presence on Wednesday, January 7th, 2015 for the Swearing-In Ceremony of the 98th General Assembly in the House Chamber of the Missouri State Capitol at twelve o’clock noon and to also be present for the Legislative Ball commencing at 6:30 p.m. in the State Capitol Rotunda. The Legislative Ball is (Black Tie Optional); however, that type of dress is NOT a requirement to attend. Please contact my legislative office should you have specific questions of the opening day activities. Other events scheduled for the opening day of Session will include two prayer breakfasts; the annual Governors’ Prayer Breakfast, as well as a special legislative prayer breakfast hosted at the Concord Baptist Church. Our Majority Caucus will meet earlier before the Oath of Office takes place, several other receptions and events will be scheduled throughout the day. Again, thank you for your support during the past two years. I hope that 2015 will be a year of positive and prosperous beginnings for you, your family and for the great State of Missouri. As we approach the new Session of the 98th Missouri General Assembly, my “IN THE ARENA” 3rd District Legislative Reports will shift focus on the upcoming session and on the key issues that we will be addressing. If you have any questions or concerns before then, please do not hesitate to contact my office. I am grateful for the opportunity to serve as 3rd District State Representative for a second term and I am looking forward to the opportunities and challenges ahead. As I prepare for the upcoming Session of the 98th General Assembly, I would like to encourage you, my constituents of the 3rd Legislative District, to feel free to contact me at any time to share your thoughts, concerns and ideas relating to issues and legislation for the upcoming Session. For me to truly represent you, I need

The 2015 Legislative Session Is Underway Lawmakers have made their way back to Jefferson City, and the First Regular Session of the 98th General Assembly has begun. This marks my second term in the Missouri Senate, and will be my final four years in this body. It has been an honor to serve my district, and I will continue to work hard this session. Following a busy session in 2014, some issues will be brought up again this year. On the top of my list is Senate Bill 12, which affects agriculture practices. I proposed many of the provisions in this bill during the last session, but met opposition on the issue of the Missouri Department of Conservation classifying deer as livestock. My new proposal keeps deer reclassification out of the mix, and focuses on other necessary aspects of reform. However, the issue of captive cervid classification is still something I hope to accomplish this session with new language in Senate Bill 178. Reclassification as livestock would allow the processing and sale of venison in Missouri, a value-added agriculture product. The median age of the family farmer continues to get older, mainly because too many of our children and grandchildren leave the farm for different opportunities.

In order to keep Missouri’s No. 1 industry growing, action needs to be taken to make joining the industry more feasible for new farmers. I have proposed legislation that aims to make starting a farming operation in Missouri less difficult for these young people with Senate Bill 177. If we lose the family farm, we lose Missouri, and this is something that simply cannot happen. Education, as always, is another priority of mine. As I have pointed out before, Senate Bill 13 would make changes to areas of education that are especially important to the people of northeast Missouri. My plan modifies the appointment process of Career and Technical Education Advisory Council members and provides an opportunity for legislators to be directly involved with the council. We need to work to improve all aspects of education, and that is exactly what I plan to do this year. Finally, I want to thank everyone who has taken time to submit a legislative suggestion. I take what I hear from my constituents very seriously and appreciate the time and effort you put into your suggestions. As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact my office. Thank you.
