La Plata FFA Hosts Area III Banquet

Thursday, April 30th, Ralph Klusman spoke about his pliers collection at The Macon County Historical Society in Macon. He told everyone he did not originally mean to collect pliers but when he would buy other tools such as a hammer at a sale, it would normally come with a couple pliers and some screwdrivers. Once you get a couple then it counts as a collection. Now if he sees one he doesn’t have, he has to have it. He said he like giving talks, not so much on what they are about but to bring people together. (LeeAnn Lingard)

Celebrate Your Mother Mother’s day is coming up and it’s a wonderful day to celebrate. For those of you who still have a mom, have a great day with her. I personally think every day should be a celebration of moms and dads. Don’t get me wrong. I think it’s great to a have a special day with them, but I feel like everyday should be a celebration of them. I unfortunately lost my mom almost 2 years ago, and I still celebrate her life, I do everyday. She was a wonderful mother and a day didn’t go by hen she was alive that I didn’t talk to her and tell her I love her. She spent her life caring for others she worked 20+ years as an RN at Samaritan Hospital and people remember her and tell me what a wonderful person she was. That is a great thing to hear, but I already know it. I miss her everyday, just on the little things; she left behind a lot of grand children and great grandchildren. My 6 yr old will do something funny and I want to pick up the phone and say “Mom, guess what Reese just did or said.” She would get the biggest kick out of it; it would make her day. I have to tell the story of “The Letter.” My mom had sent Reese a card as she would from time to time since Reese loved to get mail. Well, my mom sent a card around the 25th of July and we never received it so mom thought that she didn’t put enough postage on it. Well, she passed away on August 3rd, on the 5th we received the card with postage due, and when I gave it to Reese I said, “This is from granny,” and she said “from heaven” and I said, “Yea Reese, it’s from Heaven because I know my mom is there.” I take great comfort in that. So to those of you who still have your mom let her know always that you love her because you never know when you won’t have the opportunity to do so. Have a wonderful Mother’s day.

es on Missouri roadways. By following a few basic safety rules, we can all help prevent crashes. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration offers the following tips to drivers on how to prevent a fatal crash with a motorcycle: · Allow the motorcycle the full width of a lane. · Always signal when changing lanes or merging with traffic. · Check all mirrors and blind spots for motorcycles before changing lanes or merging with traffic, especially at intersections. · Never drive distracted or impaired. Motorcyclists must also take precautions to remain safe on the road. Motorcyclists can increase their safety by following these steps: · Wear a DOT-compliant helmet and other protective gear. · Obey all traffic laws and be properly licensed and trained. · Wear brightly colored clothes and reflective tape to increase visibility. · Ride in the middle of the lane where you will be more visible to drivers. · Never ride distracted or impaired. · Anticipate the moves of other drivers and be extra cautious of road conditions and debris. Motorcycle experts recommend motorcyclists also complete some type of training before getting South Side Farmers Market out on the road. There are 31 training locations in Saturday, May 9th 2015 Missouri. You can find the one nearest you at www. 8:30am mmsp.org.

And the Bible Says...By Steven Saunders God’s Power via Nature and the Bible Over the last few weeks, we’ve been building a foundation for establishing truth based upon God as the Creator and thus authority in the universe. So I want to summarize what we’ve learned so far. (1) Our universe and everything in it, could not have exist as a matter of chance. The order of everything, ie. orbits of the planets, laws of nature, even the reproduction of all life, establishes order by design, not chance, as in the “theory of evolution”. God introduces Himself in the Bible in Genesis 1 as the designer, along with His Son, and His Spirit assisting. Each step is mentioned and science agrees with the order necessary to maintain life as mentioned in that text. Life would not exist in any other order or arrangement. All were made as God designed and were spoken into existence, John 1:1-4, 14. We understand that Christ was the speaker of those words. Such power is almost incomprehensible for our finite minds. But the existence of our universe proves the matter, and the laws of nature defend the order in the design. While our universe demonstrates a designer with purpose in mind, it doesn’t give us the details of how the designer wanted man to function in a relationship with Him. To ask the question “Why does all this exist? For what purpose did the Designer make man, and everything to support mankind?” At the same time, we must realize that everything around us are under some form of law, even mankind. This Creator designed everything accountable to laws. Genesis also points out the creation of institutions: marriage, society, governments, workplaces, etc. And each one are under some form of law. Each has their own authority, the ability to legislate, execute, and judge according to those laws. Yet, without an understanding of God’s order and sovereign rule, none would know how to legislate, execute, or judge according to not only their own laws, but more importantly, God’s laws. One may wear different “hats” so to speak, such as a person may wear the hat of husband or wife, and be responsible to the authority of that marriage relationship, and then wear another hat, as a boss or employee, subject to the authority in that relationship, etc. But Creation doesn’t explain or dictate to man what these are. Thus God revealed all of these things to people throughout time, by His angels, His prophets, etc. (2) He directed men by instruction. 2 Timothy 3:1617, states this instruction is righteousness, and scripture is given, not only to inform, but to warn, correct, and guide mankind. It states God’s purpose for creating man, for that man to be just, “thoroughly furnished unto all good works.” He had intentions for man’s lifestyle. At the end of His Creation, He looked upon His Works, and said it all “was good”. Much has happened since then, as sin entered the world, through the tree God told man not to eat of, the “tree of the knowledge of good and evil”, Genesis 2. Many events throughout history, took place because of men’s sins; the flood of Noah’s age, the 1st earthquake, the changing of time itself, etc., and all show His power over nature. Nature obeys His commands/ Will. Thus we find in the Bible God’s commands for how man is to live according to God’s designs. These are truths, just as vital for mankind, as the laws of nature themselves. We are expected to likewise obey these commands, as He guides us in the paths of “righteousness”. Man is a broken vessel, when we disobey our Designer. The specifications of repairing our life are given in these scriptures, and when we study all scripture, and apply it to our lives, we find ourselves functioning as He designed us. Life will be more enjoyable and less complicated. This is the purpose of our writings here, to fix our broken life by His guidance. On May 7-10th, we will have a gospel meeting, and we invite you to come and study with us, and receive some of the guidance that comes from God. This is at the Church of Christ on Hwy. 63 south, beside Farmers Insurance office. The times are at 7 pm, Thursday thru Saturday, and 9 am to 11 am on Sunday. Please bring your Bible and study with us. Also, our website is: www. histruth.net. There you can find more instruction in righteousness. God expects us to know and obey His commands, and holds us accountable to them, Ecclesiastes 12:13-14.

MCHP Photo The Macon Tigers took a little road trip to the East to battle the Cardinals of South Shelby. It has been a rough year on the young South Shelby squad. Macon was not going to make the season any better. “We opened up the first inning scoring 8 runs and sending 11 guys to the plate. We had 7 hits our first time through the lineup. None of our first 8 guys recorded an out to start the game.” Coach Robuck. The Tigers would send 24 runs across the plate highlighted by a Grand Slam by Skyler Thomas. “We waited back and hit the ball hard up the middle a lot tonight, which was nice to see. Our guys had a great mind set at the plate and got good results because of it. Skyler hit a grand slam in the 4th inning for his first career varsity HR. Every player got in multiple innings for this game, which is always nice. We now turn our attention to going on the road and picking up a win against Knox Co. on Tuesday evening. Hopefully we will continue to play well.” Robuck Jace Glover 2-3 and 2 Runs, Brendan Watts 3-3 and 3 RBI’s, Collin Patrick 2-2 RBI and 3 Runs, Christian Thrasher 2-2 4 RBI’s, Meade Fry 2-3 and 3 RBI’s, Jay Olinger 3-3 RBI double, Skyler Thomas 2-5 Grand Slam HR and 5 RBI’s, Trae Adams, Ethan Pagliai, Cody Roth, Cade Hicks, and Ethan Foster 1 hit each. On the mound Ethan Foster went 3 innings with one run and 3 K’s, Pagliai 1 inning 3 runs and a K followed by Quintin Teter one inning and a Strikeout. Macon hit the road on Tuesday to battle Knox County. The game would remain scoreless until the 3rd. “With the score tied at 0 going in to the 3rd inning, Taylor Michalski would hit a 1 out double and was followed by a Brendan Watts RBI double. Meade Fry would draw a walk and Christian Thrasher would be hit by a pitch giving us bases loaded and 1 out. After a pop out, Skyler Thomas would come to the plate and for the 2nd time in as many nights hit a Grand Slam HR giving us a 5-0 lead. That HR proved to be the game winning hit.” Robuck. The Tigers would never look back scoring single runs in the 4th and 6th to win the game 9-3. “We had a couple of our starters gone tonight, but it was nice to see guys step up and still continue our solid play. Meade and Jay did a nice job on the mound for us and we had a big 3rd inning at the plate, which proved to be enough to get the win.

Shanahan Stories SHOES Cinderella’s slippers were probably the most famous shoes in history, but they only existed in a fairly tale. For me, most of my “foot tires” have been a bit mundane. I never took a step in my first pair of shoes, but at six months old I treated them the same as anything else within my grasp, they went straight into my mouth. Unfortunately it’s a habit that I still live with on occasion. My favorite shoes of all time are a tie between the Engineer Boots I wore as an eleven year old and the blues suede Snap Jacks I wore in high school. But the most memorable shoes came into my life the day I walked past BOB’S SPORTS. In the window was a pair of black baseball spikes with yellow laces, displayed in a running position. As I read from the small advertisement I could feel my heart beat with excitement. SALE Hampton Flyers $4.99 Under the exhibit was the all important message “Little League approved.” At eleven my passion was baseball and anything related to it and I knew that good equipment could improve my game and in my mind a pair of Hampton Flyers would go a long way to help me. I looked at that display twice a day for nearly a

week, going to and from school, until finally I went inside to ask about them. The salesman told me I had a good eye as he returned from the back room with my size. I took one shoe and examined it carefully, rubbing the hard rubber cleats with my thumb until the man interrupted my thoughts. “Are you pretty fast?” I looked up into his face. “Yes sir. I won a prize for running the bases faster than anyone at little league tryouts....ten seconds, and I was wearing engineer boots.” He glanced at my feet and the black boots I wore. “Hampton Flyers will cut two seconds off your time.... guaranteed.” I had no way of knowing that I was talking to the owner, Bob Hampton, and that he just made up the name Hampton Flyers to sucker kids like me. I told him I wasn’t quite ready to buy, but I’d like to know the out of pocket price. A ploy I’d seen my grandpa use when buying from vendors. Bob took out a pad and wrote down several figures before answering, “Five dollars and fourteen cents.” I looked at him and then at the price tag on the box. “Forget the out of pocket price, I’ll just pay the $4.99. He grinned. “Sorry, sonny, the governor has to get his.” I told him I didn’t know anything about the governor, but I wasn’t giving him any of my money. Bob then Continued on Page 9A

The Shepherd Calls

by Dr. H. Wade Paris

To Be or Not to Be a Church The Associated Press recently reported a story about a swingers club converting into a church. A group in downtown Nashville, reportedly a swingers group, known as the Social Club sold its building and purchased a new one several miles away. In some ways, the new location is suitable; it is isolated at the end of a dead end street. However, it is near Good Pasture Christian School. When parents and Christian leaders backed a zoning change to prevent the club from opening, the club converted to a church. They call themselves The United Fellowship Center. The plans of the United Fellowship Center are the same as those of the Social Club; but labels have changed. The dance floor is now the “sanctuary.” Two rooms formerly known as dungeon are now “choir” and “hand bells”; and 49 private rooms have become prayer rooms. They applied to the city for a

permit to meet as a church; and according to their attorney, the term “church” cannot be defined. Hopefully, the story is yet to be completed. With any luck, there may be some integrity among swingers. Still, there are several factors to be considered. Perhaps there was some heated dialogue at the meeting seeking a zoning change, and this is a “get even” slap. The Social Club had spent $750,000 to purchase the building and was in the process of remodeling their new “digs.” Some folk will do almost anything when that much money is involved. Christians must be aware that those who wish to sin are not dummies and will find a way. Here is the big question: What should the parents and Christian leaders do now? Remember, the question is, “What is a genuine Christian response to this issue?” The answer is not an easy one.

The regular monthly meeting of Macon’s American Legion Post 29 scheduled for Thursday, May 14th, has been rescheduled for the preceding Thursday, May 7th. The

meeting will begin with a carry-in dinner at 6:30 PM at the Legion Hall located at 105 South Rollins Street. All veterans and their family members are invited to attend.

Continued from Page 8A gave me my first lesson on how cops and fireman were paid. I told him I’d be back when I earned enough money. I only had fourteen cents to my name at that time, but I was confident that I could earn the rest in a couple of weeks. I went door to door in my neighborhood trying to get jobs, but nobody hired me. I decided that I needed to be more aggressive and approached the neighbor that lived across the alley. I told him I’d clean up his yard and cut his grass for a dollar. We both looked over the yard that was filled with debris and tall weeds. “That’s a lot of work, son. Are you sure you want to do it? I won’t pay unless you finish the job.” Now I was excited. I finally had an offer and in my mind if I did a good job, just maybe, I could do this on a regular basis. “Yes, sir, I’m sure.” I worked a half day picking up cans, bottles, and a variety of miscellaneous garbage before I finally went home and got the lawn mower. It was a real type push mower without an engine and jammed every time it hit a twig. I spent two days working on that yard and when I raked the cuttings into a large burn pile, I was finally done. Or so I thought. After collecting my dollar, I went home and father told me that since I was so energetic, I could cut our lawn.... and that was a freebee. I didn’t get the cutting job back, the neighbor hired his own kid who did it once, and then they let it go wild again. I didn’t care, I wouldn’t have cut it again for ten dollars. I was still way short of money and opening day for little league was rapidly approaching so unless I could come up with something fast I wouldn’t be wearing Hampton Flyers on opening day. When explaining my problem, a friend suggested stealing returnable bottles from apartment buildings back porches. I was never a thief so I turned that idea down but it gave me another. I got a shopping bag and each day after school I pushed my bike along various busy roads where people would throw bottles and cans from car windows, many of these were returnable. Soon I was earning fifty to seventy five cents a day after school, but since I was often retracing my footsteps the bottles were harder to A Jerry Lee Lewis find. When my

father found out what I was doing he put a stop to it since we lived in a dangerous Chicago neighborhood. But I didn’t care, since I already had five dollars and fifty cents saved, more than enough for the Hamilton Flyers. I was in little league heaven as I fantasized about my speed circling the bases and the spectacular catches I would make wearing those magic like shoes. With over five dollars in my pocket I felt as wealthy as a king and dreamed about what that much money could buy. At Walgreens I could buy twenty five pints of ice cream, or fifty bottles of pop, or seventy five frozen fudge bars. My mind ran wild but eventually it was the shoes that won out. Saturday morning I would visit Bob and buy the spikes I’d dreamed about and worked so hard to get. When the big day finally came I had to tell my father where I was going. “Come right home,” he said. “And don’t forget tomorrow is Mothers Day.” I did forget, or maybe I wanted too, but now that was on my plate. I decided to stop at the drug store on my way to BOB’S and get mother a card or something. I knew that at eleven I was getting a little big to be giving her another potato peeler, or a new pizza cutter. I decided I could spend thirty five cents and buy one of the stores nicest cards. When I stepped up to the counter to pay, I hesitated as I read from the advertisement over a personal grooming set. Get mom something really special only $4.99. I thought about the spikes, then about my mother and all she did as I put the card back. When I handed over my life savings for that gift I had no regrets, I knew I did the right thing. When mother opened that gift she hugged me and whispered into my ear, “You’re my favorite.” That was quite a revelation, since I had six brothers and sisters at the time. I basked in that light for a long time and wondered if that gift made up mothers mind. That is until one Christmas. Years later my younger brother announced that he was mother’s favorite. He said she told him that when he made a tooth brush holder in Boy Scouts for her birthday when he was ten. By this time mother had birthed thirteen healthy children and when we confronted her, in a good natured way, asking who her favorite really was. She just smiled. “You’re all my favorites. Don’t you know that?” My mother is a very wise woman. I can only hope a little rubbed off on me along the way.

Bits From Bucklin

by Doris Noah

THE VANOSDOL HOME HISTORY This is taken directly from the BUCKLIN COMMUNITY HISTORY BOOK dated 1966 sponsored by the Bucklin Civic Club: ‘Bucklin is honored to have a home listed in the official Missouri Historical Site book which was published in 1963. It is the home of Mrs. Paul VanOsdol and the late Judge Paul VanOsdol. The home is a Georgian Colonial house of brick. It was built by Gilbert Kemp and was patterned after his home in England. The bricks were hand burned southeast of Bucklin near the Lunden farm. The home was three years in the building. It was started in 1865. The grandfather of Ira and Charles Herriman was the carpenter and contractor. The staircase is of solid walnut. The mill work was done by hand with planes and lathes which are still owned by the Herrimans. The VanOlsols have remodeled it by modernizing the bathrooms, closets, kitchen and heating system but the original lines of the house have been kept intact. The original house was heated with porcelain stoves. The original owner of the house, Gilbert Kemp, was a lumberman in the early days of Bucklin and was located south of the overhead bridge where the Cordray Garage is now. He died in 1896.’ That is the complete history of this lovely home in the Civic Club’s book. When this book was published in 1966 Judge Paul had passed away and Mrs. Willie VanOsdol lived in the home alone. Later Rush and Inez Johnson owned the farm and lived there in that impressive brick house for several years. Though extensive remodeling was done through the years the Johnsons also maintained the original lines of the home. GIT ‘ER DONE Job Superintendent Galen Switzer put in the call about 7:00 a m: he needed the food stand interior painted ASAP. The carpenters were ready to install the roll up doors and that could not be done until the walls were painted. Phones started ringing all about town. By just after 9:00 a m a crew of 10 willing workers was hard at it and by noon they were washing out the brushes and rollers. Done, the painting was done. Everyone worked with vigor and the only casualty was when Debbie spilled her paint. (That really did not need to be told did it?). A good dinner at the community building for the workers was provided as the paint dried. If you have a chance to go up by the city park you may be pleasantly surprised at the beautiful new food stand where the old food

shack stood. Galen and his faithful crew have worked long and hard to accomplish so much in such a short while. A SURPRISE BIRTHDAY PARTY Douglas Cobb and Joann Morris hosted a surprise birthday party for Junior B. Long on the 11th of April. Junior was celebrating his 83rd birthday. Guests were Heather and Ethan Vandergriff, Shirley Black, Ronnie Miles and family and Debbie Alpers and family. Douglas and Joann fixed a cook out for supper to be finished off with birthday cake and ice cream. Junior was happy to have received 22 birthday greetings from friends far and near. MUSHROOMS ZERO We went to the timber with high hopes of bringing home a bag or two of mushrooms. Tales were being told uptown of how plentiful they are this year. We walked and wandered for over an hour with not one mushroom to be seen. The evening was certainly not wasted. I counted a total of twelve varieties of wildflowers. The most spectacular was an entire bank covered with Blue Bells in full bloom. There were some late blooming Easter Lilies and a big patch covered with Little Boy Breeches. What a pleasant place, the oak timber at High Hill on an April evening. (I don’t care a lot for mushrooms anyway.) NEW KIDS ON WEST SANTA FE Randy and Millie are busy with their new little kids on W. Santa Fe Street. They report having four so far, all four are named Billy, with about 15 more expected. These little fellers are extra active for newborns. Millie said they are all doing well under the watchful eye of their proud mothers and Maggie the guard donkey. Go across the railroad tracks on Santa Fe Street if you want to see these babies who are sure to make you smile. ODDS ‘N ENDS Early in the morning of April 28th, we heard the little wren singing out in the back yard. She was quite busy inspecting the different houses provided for her but she took time to sing and sing. Such a big voice for a tiny bird! They don’t usually come to our yard until mid-May so we were surprised to hear this early bird. No hummingbirds yet at our house but maybe they will be early as well.

Clarence Chronicles

by Patty Truitt

It is a beautiful spring morning. Thank you God for this beautiful weather. I am going to work at the Samaritan Hospital Gift Shop this afternoon so in all a wonderful day. The first Friday and Saturday you want to come to The Christian Church in Clarence for the youth groups garage sale. They have a really great sale and you will always find a great treasure. It also sponsors a great group of kids. Talking about garage sales. Our Clarence City Wide last Saturday was very wet. I am so sorry for the weather and several people had to cancel their yard sales, and so many people missed out because of the rain. But a lot of us had good sales in spite of the rain. Thank you to all who still had their sales and to those who came out in spite of the rain. Just glad it is over. Sunday I went to Sunday School and Church and after Church the youth sponsored a great ham dinner. The youth always serve a great meal and the proceeds go to sponger their mission trip in the Summer. I set and visited with a great friend Shirley Walker and her husband Latrell. We had a great time visiting. I also got to talk to some friends about the youths coming up garage sale the first weekend of June.

Monday I was at the meeting for the volunteers at the Samaritan Hospital. It is always rewarding to spend time time with this group, some of whom I have known for many years. We received a gift and a great dessert from the hospital, as it is “Volunteer Week.” We all love being in this great group. Tuesday morning my daughter Laura Wood, who is a para at Callao School, came over. She was joined by two other teaches and they brought their 4 special needs kids. This is always a great group and I am glad when they come to visit. I talked to them about gardening and special herbs. Them I showed them some of my antiques to see if they could guess what it was used for. They were so surprised at how small our old wash pans were and how little water we could get by with. “No letting the water just run.” We made homemade healthy pizza and had a delightful lunch before they left. I truly love this group of wonderful people. Thank you for coming, and come back any time Yesterday afternoon Cody and I went to visit our neighbor Carolyn Stender at her upholstery shop. Cody and I both love visiting in our neighborhood. He especially loves Carolyn. Praying all of you have a great week. Patty

The Bank of New Cambria participated in the National Teach Kids to Save Day Program. This program is a national campaign, established by the American Bankers Association in 1997, that raises awareness about the important role that banks and bankers play in helping young people develop lifelong savings habits. The Bank of New Cambria has been participating in this program since 2006. Branch Manager, Melinda Masten visited the Bevier C-4 School on April 30, 2015 and presented saving concepts to the K – 6th graders.

CARPENTER BEES Last week I briefly mentioned carpenter bees in this article. It is an excellent time to discuss them in much more detail here now. Carpenter bees are actually several species and are in fact a beneficial insect because they pollinate many plants. However, they can cause problems for homeowners and farmers alike and that is what I will discuss here. The problem they cause is that they burrow into wood to lay their eggs in the spring causing damage to the wood. They especially like untreated, softwoods such as pine, fir, cedar and redwood. The hole they make into the wood goes in a couple of inches. Their offspring will go back and lay eggs in the same wood and after a period of several years they can do a significant amount of damage. This is a particular problem with untreated areas such as barn or building rafters, gazebos and porches. While these bees do not sting they do swarm and can be scary to smaller children in particular. What can you do about these pests since they won’t just go away? Well the easiest control measure is to paint or treat the wood surface if that is possible. In areas

where that is not and they become a problem, control is more difficult. You can spray insecticide in the holes and then fill the holes with cotton or a wood paste. Spraying needs to be done on a calm, cool evening when they are in their nests or holes. Doing it once may not be enough either and you will likely have to come back in the fall and do it again for the larvae that have emerged. Carpenter bees can be a real pain so keep a watch for them because controlling them before they get too far along is the best course of action. Guide 7424 is on Carpenter Bees and can be found online at http:// extension.missouri.edu/p/G7424 or at your local Extension Office. REMINDERS There is a Small Animal Show Clinic coming to Sullivan County on Saturday, May 16th at the Green City Hall and Park. It will go from 10 AM to noon and include rabbits, poultry and dogs. They will discuss showmanship, nutrition, health concerns, show ring ethics and handling. You can attend by paying $10 by May 8. More information is available at your County University of Missouri Extension Office.

Cut to the Chase Proper Road Etiquette By Rebecca French Smith When our kids learn to drive, part of their instruction in today’s world of connectedness includes appropriate times to text and call. One moment of distracted driving could mean a lifetime of regret. As rural citizens, we also make a point to include proper road etiquette when approaching a piece of farm machinery — do not crowd, tailgate or otherwise rush a tractor driver. Spring is a particularly busy time for farmers as they plant the year’s crop. The United States Department of Agriculture estimates Missouri’s 2015 crop area will be more than 14 million planted acres. To accomplish this, many farmers are moving large pieces of equipment from field to field through the use of Missouri highways and bridges.

Hy-Vee Recalls Summer Fresh Pasta Salad On April 27, 2015, Hy-Vee, Inc. issued a recall for Hy-Vee Summer Fresh Pasta Salad that is sold in its stores’ kitchen department cold cases and salad bars. The pasta was recalled after Hy-Vee was notified the frozen vegetables used to make the ready-to-eat pasta were potentially contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. The frozen vegetables were produced by Inventure Foods, Jefferson, Georgia. Listeria monocytogenes can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Although healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, Listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women. The Summer Fresh Pasta Salad is packaged upon customer request from the kitchen cold case and would have been packaged in 16oz. (1 lb.) or 32oz. (2 lb.)

clear plastic containers. A light tan scaleproduced label with the product name, weight and price would have been affixed to the container. The recalled product would have been available in a limited number of stores between April 9, 2015 and April 27, 2015. Hy-Vee has since pulled the ready-toeat Summer Fresh Pasta Salad from its distribution channels and the stores in Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska and South Dakota to which it was distributed. All stores that received the product have been instructed to dispose of the product. To date, Hy-Vee has not received any complaints associated with the Summer Fresh Pasta Salad. Customers who purchased Summer Fresh Pasta Salad from the Hy-Vee kitchen department cold case or salad bar between April 9, 2015 and April 27, 2015, should dispose of the product or return it to the store for a refund.

Macon Municipal Utilities Board Minutes New Website Documents State of Transportation in Missouri

Now MoDOT web visitors have a one-stop location for keeping up with Missouri’s 325 System. The 325 Report focuses on updates to Missouri’s road and bridge conditions and any developments in efforts to find additional funding. “This website gives engaged citizens a one-stop location for learning about how MoDOT will maintain Missouri’s transportation system as funding levels drop,” said Roberta Broeker, MoDOT’s chief financial officer. Located at www.modot.org/325report, the website features videos, profiles of MoDOT employees, features on engaged citizens, the Commission publication View from the Chair, and a variety of supporting materials to keep visitors informed on the condition of Missouri’s roads and bridges and possible solutions for the funding shortfall. Faced with dramatically reduced funding and a construction budget of $325 million, Missouri will not be able to match federal transportation funds beginning in 2017. In February, the Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission adopted “Missouri’s 325 System,” a plan to focus MoDOT’s limited resources by dividing Missouri’s highways into primary and supplementary routes. Primary routes include approximately 8,000 miles of Missouri roads that could be maintained in the condition they are in today. Supplementary routes, the approximately 26,000 miles remaining, would receive limited, routine maintenance. The condition of supplementary routes will continue to degrade over time, and, in some cases, additional roads and bridges may have to be closed. “These will be ongoing concerns over the next few years,” Broeker said. “While the funding discussion moves forward with our citizens and legislators, the needs of the system continue to grow.”

Box Ankle/ Bloomington vs. Centerville/ Woodville

by Merlyn Amidei Macon County Historical Society Centerville or Box Ankle – which was first in Macon County? The answer seems to be on how you read the reference books and your definition of “first.” Centerville was laid out in 1833 while Box Ankle was established in 1837. Naturally you think Centerville came four years before Box Ankle. But wait! Centerville was in Randolph County when it was started. Macon County was formed in 1837. After a short debate between different places, Box Ankle in Liberty Township was chosen for the county seat of the new county. C. C. Hubbard and James E. Cochran deeded fifty acres of land to the county for the new town. The town was laid out by James Ratliff, who was appointed commissioner in June 1838. It was the intention of the county court to rename the town Bloomfield; however there was already a town named Bloomfield, so Jefferson Morrow suggested the name of Bloomington. The name was approved and adopted by the court. In 1838 the post office was established and remained until 1904. Also in 1838 a temporary 20’X30’ wooden structure was built as the courthouse. In 1839 the

The regular meeting of the Board of Public Works was held Monday, April 20, 2015 at 4:00 p.m. in the City Council’s chambers. Those in attendance were President Tim Watts, Vice President John Neer, Board Member J.D. King, Board Member Jerry Chezum, City Administrator Vicky McLeland, Mayor Dale Bagley, General Manager Stephanie Wilson, and Assistant General Manager Scott Lucas. Also in attendance were David Ausmus with Shafer, Kline & Warren, Alvin McElhaney with McElhaney Plumbing, Sheryl Beadles with Macon the News, Rich Wills and David Foster with Open Arms Baptist Church. Numerous citizens of Macon were also in attendance, Tanar Piland, Jerry Perkins, Gerald Perrin, Charlie Burkhardt, Neal Stone, Steve Zvolanek, Chris Shoemaker, J.P. Hartung, Nora Hopper, Sharon Foltz, Helena Mulvaney, Gary McElwain, Dan Wilt, Alan Spencer, and David Minor. President Tim Watts called the meeting to order at 4:00 p.m. Vice President John Neer made a motion, seconded by Board Member J.D. King, to approve the minutes from the March 16, 2015 meeting. The motion carried with four votes for and none against. Under old business, General Manager Stephanie Wilson presented historical information, research, and rehabilitation activities relating to private wastewater collection mains. At the March 16, 2015 meeting Mr. McElhaney had addressed the Board with questions as to why Macon Municipal Utilities (MMU) does not take ownership of private wastewater collection mains in public right-of-way. A private main exists when more than one wastewater service ties into a private main prior to it reaching the public wastewater collection main. Ms. Wilson shared that private wastewater collection mains on private property and in public right-of-way are an issue in many communities. Mr. McElhaney did not agree based on his own research. As there is no clear direction as to how to deal with previously installed private wastewater collection mains from a legal, insurance, or regulatory standpoint the Board of Public Works shared with those attending that their approach will be to review a master plan being prepared by staff to look into how issues with the existing private mains can be addressed in a estimated timeframe of ten years. At the meeting, it was also shared that while letters were sent to 40 addresses in 2008 letting them know that their wastewater service was part of a private collection main updated letters will be sent to the most current list of known addresses to be on a private mains. While some on the list in 2008 are no longer on the list, there have also been addresses added to the list. Under new business, Rich Wills and David Foster were in attendance to discuss

whether MMU would lease or allow for purchase the vacant lot west of City Hall. Mr. Wills, Pastor for the Open Arms Baptist Church, indicated that they are interested in the building located at 204 W. Bourke but would need additional space for parking. The lease option request would come with plans for potential purchase. At the present time, the Board advised Mr. Wills that MMU is unfortunately not able to entertain an option to sell the property as it was purchased in 1998 to be used if necessary for expansion City Hall which houses offices for utility and city services. Ms. Wilson then presented the monthly review of financials for March 2015. Water sales continue to be trending low. In the 2015 budget, $40,000 was budgeted to paint the two clarifier basins at the water treatment plant at the water line. Based on further review, David Ausmus with Shafer, Kline & Warren shared that per a review by a paint contractor it would be more beneficial to paint the entirety of the interior of the basins. After discussion and considering the years of service, the Board agreed to delay other projects to allow for the full painting of one clarifier this year and one next year at $69,000 - $75,000 per unit. Additionally, the Board also advised to proceed with the budgeted items of the rebuild of the 1,500 gpm high-service discharge pump at the water treatment plant at $20,233 and tire/changer balancer for the mechanic shop at $9,699. Vice President John Neer made the motion, seconded by President Tim Watts, to proceed with the budgeted items. The motion passed with all in favor. For the next item on the agenda, after discussion and noting that Attorney Tim Bickhaus had reviewed documents related to electric Substation #4 metering by Northeast Missouri Electric Power Cooperative, President Tim Watts made a motion, seconded by Board Member J.D. King, to recommend for signature the Bill of Sale; Contract for Purchase and Sale of Certain Transmission Facilities; and Assignment of Rights-of-Way, Easements, and Grants documents to the City Council for the Mayor’s signature. The motion carried with four votes for and none against. The metering structure will be place in front of the Missouri National Guard Armory on Hwy 63. Next item on the agenda was Personnel Manual Updates. In October 2014, general updates, and January 2015, drug & alcohol policy, updates were discussed. Board Member J.D. King made a motion, seconded by Board Member Jerry Chezum, to accept with the finalized updates that note compliance with oversight agencies and clarification of wording for current policies in place. The motion carried with four votes for and none against.

court ordered a new brick building 45’ square and two stories tall built to replace the first one. The estimated cost was $3000 and Robert George was hired as the superintendent. It wasn’t completed until 1852. Bloomington became the most advanced town in the county. It was a hub for stagecoaches coming from St. Joseph, Kirksville, Hannibal, Paris, and Glasgow. It wasn’t long until governors, senators, congressmen and everybody knew where Bloomington was. More than fifty businesses started including five newpapers, plus two churches (Cumberland Presbyterian and the Southern Methodist) a Masonic fraternity, and even The Bloomington University. At one time the population was over 3000. In 1854 a race track was opened and “the lovers of fine horses were wont to congregate, to test the speed of different horses.” The Bloomington Gazette was published December 26, 1848 by J.M. Love and A.L. Gilstrap. It was the first newspaper printed in Macon County. The Bloomington Register started in 1852, The Bloomington Messinger in 1854, The Bloomington Journal in 1855, and the Macon Legion was the last paper to be published in Bloomington in 1859. The Macon County Museum has a two column section of The

Bloomington Messinger from Jack Lee. Jack always wanted a whole paper but he never was able to locate one. In 1856 when Thomas Hart Benton came to town campaigning for governor, he entertained a crowd of over 1500 people for three hours. That could have been one of the last, if not the last, large gathering at Bloomington. When the railroads came through they shied away from Bloomington and then the stagecoaches were not used as much. During the Civil War the Union was headquartered at Macon City. Because Bloomington had mostly southern sympathizers, General Merrill ordered Major Thomas Moody to burn Bloomington down. Moody knew several families in the area and didn’t want to carry out the order. He proposed to Merrill that he could run for the legislature and remove the county seat to Macon City. Merrill accepted, Moody was elected and the county seat was moved because of a “military necessity.” But it did the same as if he had burned the town – it was destroyed as far as ever becoming a major city. Today there is only a marker indicating where the first county seat used to be. Now on to Centerville. It was started in 1833 and was located in Randolph County. William H. Rowland was the first settlers to put up a dwelling house and was operating a grocery store when Macon County was established in 1837. During the first court session in May 1837, “William H. Rowland made application for a license to keep a grocery at his stand in

Under Assistant General Manager Scott Lucas’ updates he noted run times for the Macon and Audrain Energy Centers. The scheduled semi-annual inspection and preventative maintenance shutdown at the Macon Energy Center, which included the fuel gas compressor package and HRSG isolation for inspection by the state inspector, went as scheduled. At the Audrain unit, April 14th was a scheduled shutdown in conjunction with Poet where a pump problem was addressed plus preventative maintenance and a turbine wash was performed. Regarding the electric department, training sessions were attended by MMU employees in Warrensburg by MPUA and Columbia by City Water & Light. Substation #4 is in full swing, requiring much work in preparation to facilitate interconnections to the electric system. Also, the crews replaced a pole, an underground service, and associated parts relating to an auto accident that occurred at the south end of Maffry Street on Tuesday, April 14th. Regarding underground facilities, crews made repairs to the Bourke Street lift station with crews jetting 14 wastewater main sections as preventative maintenance. Also, camera work was performed to document grease from specific addresses in the wastewater collection system. In the gas distribution department, a new main installation has begun on Walnut Street and a main was installed on the south side of Macyn Lane. Crews also attended training at the northeast section of the Missouri Water and Wastewater Conference in Macon and through the MPUA in Warrensburg. Under Roger Rector’s updates at the water and wastewater treatment plants, the MDNR inspected the Macon Lake Spillway noting work to be performed by the permit renewal in 2017, Benton & Associates is reviewing information shared with them for the high-service discharge pump analysis, and MMU is working with SKW and US Cellular regarding bid document specifications for the east water tower to be performed in 2015. At the wastewater treatment plant, MMU is working with Benton & Associates regarding the sludge dewatering project and responding to the pretreatment inspection performed by the MDNR on March16th. After approval of accounts payable and setting the next regular meeting for Monday, May 18, 2015 at 4:00 p.m., a motion was made by President Tim Watts, seconded by Board Member J. D. King, to adjourn the meeting. The motion carried with four votes for and none against. President Tim Watts adjourned the meeting at 5:25 p.m.

Macon County, which is granted to him up on his paying a “State tax of $10, the county tax, and fees allowed by law.” The name was changed in 1850 by the Legislature to Woodville located in Middle Fork Township in Macon County named after the Middle Fork of the Salt River. At that time there was a post office, stagecoach stop with sleeping rooms available, two general stores, a water powered mill, a saloon, a wagon shop, blacksmith, grocery store, millinery, harness shop and feed store, two churches and a school. A post office was established in 1837 and remained open until 1907. I have looked in several references and was unable to find out why the town was named Centerville… or where it got its name. There’s always a mystery in history!

Vision 2025

Social Security Announces Vision 2025, a Long-Range Service Delivery Vision; Ensures a Commitment to Local Field Office Presence Nationwide Embarking on its 80th Anniversary of being a key piece of the Nation’s fabric, Carolyn W. Colvin, Acting Commissioner of Social Security, today officially released Vision 2025. The vision will serve as a “North Star” to guide Social Security and show how the agency will accomplish and deliver three key priorities: superior customer experience, exceptional employees, and an innovative organization over the next decade and beyond. “We must be prepared to adapt as technology and society changes at an unprecedented rate,” Acting Commissioner Colvin said. “Vision 2025 is our way of making sure we keep up with these changes, and how we position ourselves to best serve the public in the future.” When employees, customers, and partners are given the right tools to help them work better together, wonderful things happen. In shaping Vision 2025, Social Security reached out to as many individuals and organizations as possible for input. The agency engaged in active listening and communicating with internal and external stakeholders. Internally, the agency engaged employees, labor unions, and management associations. The agency encouraged and received feedback and ideas from the public through an online survey accessed on the agency’s website, www.socialsecurity.gov. The agency also worked with the National Academy of Public Administration, members of Congress, advocacy groups, and the Social Security Advisory Board. The input Social Security received resulted in “emerging themes” that led to the development of the three key priorities. Vision 2025 reflects Social Security’s full commitment— now and in the future—to offering customers choices in how they do business with us. This commitment includes sustaining a field office structure that provides face-to-face service and is responsive to members of the public who need or prefer face-to-face service. “Vision 2025 represents the agency’s commitment to continuous long-term planning. It will guide our more than 65,000 employees who continue to provide exemplary service to our customers,” Acting Commissioner Colvin said. “We are proud of our longstanding commitment to customer service and continual efforts to improve efficiency. We are also excited about our vision for serving the public in the next 10 to 15 years.” For more information, you can access the Social Security Vision 2025 interactive website here: www. socialsecurity.gov/vision2025.

Security is Our Middle Name

By Melani Kelsey Social Security Operations Supervisor in Kirksville, Missouri On March 6, Americans recognize Middle Name Pride Day. At the Social Security Administration, our middle name is “Security,” and every day, we do everything we can to live up to that name. As part of protecting our vital services, we safeguard against all forms of Social Security fraud. Social Security has zero-tolerance for fraud and those who try to cheat the system. While we can’t prevent all fraud schemes any more than the best police force can stop all crime, we work aggressively with our Office of the Inspector General to investigate and prosecute people who commit fraud. Acting Commissioner Carolyn Colvin’s message to those who would defraud Social Security is clear: “We will find you; we will prosecute you; we will seek the maximum punishment allowable under the law; and we will fight to restore to the American public the money you’ve stolen.” We provide benefits to one-fifth of the American population, including elderly retirees, people with severe illnesses, and widows and children after the death of a wage earner. Our beneficiaries also include wounded warriors and the chronically ill, all of whom tend to be the most vulnerable of our population. Protecting our critically important programs from fraud can be challenging. Yet, our standard is absolute—any fraud is unacceptable. And, our focus on preventing fraud works. Our Office of the Inspector General works in concert with our frontline employees to identify fraud and bring amazing trip for these students who are working very hard to raise the money to cover the trip expenses of just over $4800. Fund raising opportunities and or donations would be appreciated.
