Brad Buck Paint & Body Lives On by Becky Jeffcoat On Tuesday, February 12, 2013 at 5:30 p.m. an Open Meeting was held at La Plata City Council Chambers in regard to the business of Brad Buck Paint and Body. The business, opening in March 2012 is a one-man operation located on East Moore Street in La Plata. Those attending the meeting were: Brad Buck, Katie Parrish, David Rouner, Attorney at Law, Tabitha Sawyer, Amanda Yanna, John Davis, Alma Baker, Bob Baker, Garrett Payne, Megan Green, Sara Jeffcoat, Dickie Brown, City Administrator, Charles Thompson, Mayor, Aldermen, Sean Herron and Dennis Jones and Home Press representative, Becky Jeffcoat. According to the City of La Plata, they were not aware of a business opening in the building that was constructed at the address on Moore Street. Concerned with zoning laws, in the beginning that is. Dickie Brown, City Administrator, told the press that he had no idea the business was in operation and it was brought to his attention by a concerned citizen that the business might be operating improperly in a residential zone. Buck and/or his girlfriend, Parrish, had visited City Hall prior to the construction of the building and Sizemore Construction had also been to the City to purchase a building permit for the business construction. They were told that no business license was needed in the city, but were instructed to go the County Courthouse to obtain a Merchant’s License, which was done. Beginning the process of business in March, Buck purchased ads in the local paper, made several postings on Facebook and by word of mouth began his day to day operation of body work and restoration of vehicles, legally. According to Brown, he didn’t know the business existed because he doesn’t read the local paper, unless it has something to do with the city. Approaching Buck, the City Administrator was concerned of the zoning issues as well as the proper issues of dumping paint, primer, other liquids involved with the process, and of course the release of fumes in the neighborhood. Buck reassured the City that there was

no release of fumes, as his ventilation was up to code, a 55 gallon drum was on site for dumping the usage of liquids that could not be burnt off or disposed of otherwise and the waste that was not dumped was recycled. Buck was given permission to operate his business, accepting no new jobs until the City voted on the business continuing in the current building. The meeting was held in order for the City to discuss with Buck, his attorney and neighbors the circumstances at hand. The City sent out letters to neighbors regarding the discussion of the business asking them to send back any complaints or concerns. Two letters were received. One letter discussed the concerns of fumes, as they lived in a trailer close by. With the fume situation under control, there seemed to be no issue with the letter. The second letter stated that they lived approximately 185 feet from the business and did not want a body and paint shop located near their property. Four neighbors were in attendance to voice their opinions that they have no issues with the business and it should be able to operate as is. Before the vote of the ordinance, Mayor Charlie Thompson went on public record stating that when he was voted in as

Mayor he took an oath to uphold the laws of the City, not to change them, he was against the issue at hand, but wished Mr. Buck the best in his business, no matter the outcome of the meeting. An ordinance was passed. Ordinance #2013-02 was read by title only, twice, in the following meeting of the City Council titled “Conditional Use Permits”. The ordinance passed 3-1, Herron, Perry and Jones, yes and Adams, no, at both readings. Buck is once again in full operating business. This town is a small community that is operated by several small business owners, making their living without the corporate world. La Plata needs new businesses and new revenue to make sure the City keeps thriving and growing. I was glad to see the outcome of the allowance of the business to stay in town, hopefully sending a message to other small business owners that the City will do their best in working with them to keep them here. All in all, after what I believe to be a huge misunderstanding, perhaps some on both parts, the meeting ended with a handshake. The next day, Brad Buck Paint and Body opened his doors and continued his profession.

Bowhunter Education Classes In Moberly The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) will host a twoday bowhunter-education class from 5:30 to 9:30 p.m. on Feb. 25 and from 5:30 to 9:30 p.m. on Feb. 26 at Central College of the Bible, 911 E. Urbandale Drive, in Moberly. There is no cost for the program, but pre-registration is required. “Bowhunter-education provides a foundation in hunting safety and ethics that helps hunters focus on more than just being

successful in the pursuit of game,” said MDC Outdoor Skills Specialist Rob Garver. “Participants receive a minimum of eight hours of classroom training, plus additional time for testing, outdoor demonstrations and other classroom discussion.” The course is recommended for motivated students age 14 and older with good reading and comprehension skills who have some archery and hunting knowledge or experience. However, any

Macon R-1 Kindergarten Enrollment and Screening

student 11 years of age and older may be tested and certified in the course. The bowhunter-education program can serve as a refresher for veteran bow hunters as well. To register for the program, or for more information, contact Garver at Rob.Garver@mdc. mo.gov or 660-785-2420. While a bowhuntereducation certificate is

not required by statewide game regulations, many Missouri cities that allow archery hunting inside their city limits require bowhunter-education certification. Additionally, many other states require bowhunter education before hunters are allowed to apply for or take part in bow hunts in their state.

AARP Provides Free Tax Assistance & Preparation This year, AARP Foundation is again providing free tax assistance and preparation for taxpayers with low to moderate income through the AARP Foundation Tax-Aide program. AARP Foundation Tax-Aide, in its 46th year, is the nation’s largest free tax assistance and preparation service, giving special attention the older population. You do not need to be a member of AARP or a retiree to use this service. “Since 1968, AARP Tax-Aide volunteers have enthusiastically provided this service in their communities,” said Craig Eichelman, AARP Missouri state director. “This free, quality and confiden-

tial program also provides year-round service and in some instances, volunteers can make visits in nursing homes and other locations if taxpayers are physically unable to make a site visit.” In 2012, AARP Foundation Tax-Aide’s 36,000 volunteers at nearly 6,000 sites provided over 2.5 million people with free tax help. Taxpayers who used AARP Foundation TaxAide received $1.3 billion in income tax refunds and more than $233 million in Earned Income Tax Credits (EITCs). Last year, 668 AARP Foundation Tax-Aide volunteers helped more than 60,700 people file their federal, state and local tax

returns. The program is offered at approximately 148 sites in Missouri including senior centers, libraries and other convenient locations. For more information or to locate an AARP Foun-

COMMENTARY COMMENT

SHEPHERD’S CALL

Blonde But Blunt Surprised By God BY BECKY JEFFCOAT EDITOR/PUBLISHER lpnews@marktwain.net

I’ve been learning a lot about the old saying my mama used to use about “killing them with kindness�. LOL It was a long week in my office, from a 24 page regional issue, senior night at Atlanta, the opening of the new LaPhanga in La Plata, running some tear sheets to Macon, collections (for the record, I hate collecting money), Valentine’s Day, without my Valentine, got to see him over the weekend though, and we attended “The 8th Annual Long Branch Lake Crew’s Winter Beach Party� at a friends house. This event is held every year and is hosted by some very good people and great friends. During this event, it’s summer inside the shed as everything is cleared out to make room for the tons of sand that is spread out all over the floor, the boat is backed in on top of the sand, next to the sand volleyball net for the kids and even a camper is set up in the area, with the awning out, I might add. A carry-in meal is enjoyed by, oh, probably over 100 people, that come and go throughout the evening, great conversation, photo opportunities and people have even pulled those summer clothes out of storage, wearing shorts, flip flops, t-shirts and some even bathing suits. Oh yeah, and the heat is turned up to, I’d say about 80 degrees. Love it!! I enjoy it every year, love visiting with friends from the area and friends that have driven from out of town to have a good night of food and fun. The kids are running around in the sand, playing volleyball and dancing to music while the parents are relaxing in their lawn chairs and forgetting about the cold weather outside the doors. Couldn’t come at a better

JEFFCOAT time, as I needed to get out of the house and have some fun. Took my Valentine, a friend and my grandson. He was so busy flirting that he didn’t even know what time it was, well until bottle time. At 14 weeks, you’d think he could just have some lemonade. LOL Sara would kill me! That’s a fact. Last week I met a great friend and her mother for breakfast at Grandma’s Home Cookin’, took Lee with me so they could see how much he’s growing. I get a text from Sara (Lee’s mother) saying “Do Not Put Any Food In His Mouthâ€?! I texted back “Too Lateâ€?! Hehe‌. memaw’s can do that. He just had a tiny teensy bit of gravy off the end of my finger, didn’t even like it much, but you would of thought, according to his mother, that I gave him a bite from the fork. Good Grief!! First time mothers! What are they thinking? I remember my kids doing all kids of stuff they weren’t supposed to be doing at young ages, but they are still breathing! Later, when they were in school, they’d call, say they were sick, my response‌ “are you breathing? Them.. Yes‌. Are you bleeding? Them‌ No! Well then you are fineâ€? Today, it’s the doc for this the doc for that! Glad mine are grown, don’t think I could to it again. The best thing about memaw is‌.I get to play with them and take them home!!! God Bless America!!! ď Š Keep It Kool, Bec

A friend of mine surprised his wife with a birthday party. First, he took her to a local restaurant where she assumed they were meeting some friends. When none of the friends arrived, he persuaded her to go home, much to her chagrin. At home, they sat down to watch television; all the while, she complained there was nothing on TV. Then the doorbell rang, and many invited friends appeared bearing birthday cards and birthday wishes. Nearly everyone likes a good surprise. Perhaps you never realized it, but God often gives good surprises. Abraham and Sarah were old when God surprised them with a son, Isaac. Moses turned aside in the dessert to see a burning bush and discovered God was there. “Take off your shoes Moses,� God commanded. “This is holy ground.� God then revealed to Moses His plan to deliver the Hebrews. It would be an understatement to say Moses was surprised. In the New Testament, the followers of Jesus were crushed by the cruel and unjust crucifixion of Jesus. Thinking they

should at least anoint Jesus’ body correctly, some women gathered at His tomb to do exactly that. Surprise! Surprise! He was not there. Jesus had risen. He was and is alive. Ann Cetas, a writer for Our Daily Bread, tells the story about Randy— a five year old who desperately wanted a toy stagecoach for Christmas. While shopping with his mother, he found just the one he wanted and threw a tantrum insisting that he get that stagecoach for Christmas. His mother simply said, “We’ll see.� Sure enough, on Christmas morning he opened a package containing that stagecoach. He was delighted. Later, his older brother said, “You did a dumb thing insisting on that stagecoach. Mom had already gotten you a much bigger one, but when you begged for this one, she exchanged it.� This may surprise you; but God often would like to give us more than we ask, yet we quickly settle for less. The Apostle Paul put it this way, “God is able to do exceedingly, abundantly more than we can even think of to ask�. (Ephesians 3:20) Wow!

Heartland Headlines by Kathy Nickerson

We have been invaded by snow geese at Heartland this week. We estimated at least 10,000 geese in one huge flock on our lake. They nearly cover the water, and when they all rise at once, the sight and sound are both amazing. Geese often stop by Heartland on their way north, and some Canadian geese stay year round. But we have never seen so many at once. These snow geese are heading home to the Artic Tundra,

and we are just a rest stop. Although we are enjoying the visitors, they do create a few problems. Our swans are not impressed. They manage to stay at the opposite end of the lake whenever the geese land. The noise of thousands of geese honking at once can be rather deafening, too. And the pollution in our lake will be massive. It’s a good thing we won’t plan to baptize anyone in that water for a few weeks!

Rural Relevance By Dan Cassidy No matter what the sport, referees struggle to get their due. In farming, no matter what they raise, farmers often find themselves just outside the spotlight. Interestingly, the two occupations have something in common: the importance of their presence and their relevance. Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack spoke at the recent American Farm Bureau Annual Meeting and once again shared his view that agriculture’s influence is waning. He cited the need to rebuild political capacity and used Congress’ failure to pass a five-year farm bill as an example. Secretary Vilsack made his case that farmers and ranchers should support Cabinet nominees who exhibit an interest in things such as bio-fuels and tax credits. Those in attendance learned “constructive engagement� is needed to address philosophical disagreements with organizations ranging from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to the Humane Society of the United States. The Secretary missed the mark on several counts. In 2012, there was broad support for the “farm� part of the farm bill, but election year politics and disagreements over food stamp cuts slowed the process. The next chance for passage was the Lame Duck session, which was dominated by fiscal cliff negotiations that went down to the wire. The vice president and Senate minority leader did see fit to extend the farm bill for nine months as part of the overall fiscal deal. On a side note, the argument can be made victims of Hurricane Sandy exhibited similar political weakness when a vote on their disaster assistance bill was postponed for weeksthe message being virtually no bill sails through Congress. According to

6KDULQJ +RPHWRZQ 5HFLSHV &RRNLQJ 7LSV DQG &RXSRQV %\ -DQHW 7KDUSH

Secretary Vilsack, constructive engagement led to agriculture epiphanies by EPA administrators. Yet the secretary failed to mention constructive engagement didn’t keep EPA from considering ridiculous regulations on farm dust, or why it didn’t prevent the Department of Labor from proposing misguided farm labor regulations that went so far as to impact kids’ FFA projects. In both cases, further regulatory action was stopped, but only after widespread opposition surfaced from the agriculture community and Congress. Even if constructive engagement proves useful with Cabinet officials, it does little to protect agriculture from the countless bureaucrats who develop and implement the regulations themselves. It’s true; the population of much of rural America has fallen and with it political representation in Congress. Maps clearly illustrate the divide between blue and red states. Secretary Vilsack pointed out that one in every 12 jobs is tied to agriculture; the flip side is that 11are not. If we make this a numbers game, agriculture loses every time. Farmers and ranchers should always be looking to develop new alliances and can’t expect good things to happen if they sit on the sidelines. But caution should be exercised when announcing the demise of agriculture’s political clout; much influence still resides at the state level. Many state legislators have close ties to agriculture, and there is a broad understanding of the importance of domestically produced food and fuel. While agriculture may not always be in the driver’s seat, we’re still pretty effective in stopping ill-advised legislation and regulation. In sports terms, sometimes the best offense is a good defense. Political influence ebbs and flows and is too often tied to campaign contributions. Those of us involved in agriculture aren’t generally tied to a multi-million dollar super PAC, but agriculture’s ground game is still a force to be reckoned with. Without agriculture, there wouldn’t be a game.

GOOOOOOD MORNING Thomas Hill Lake Sunshine has been making it’s presence on your lands again my lady, what a welcome! Birds, squirrels, and rabbits are making their appearance lately and it is so nice to welcome nature back to my lady’s lands. Sure sign that spring is right around the corner and we, or I should say I know I will welcome it with open arms. Late nights on the deck, listening to the sounds of all that is waking up and getting ready to enjoy the weather with us. The crisp air in the coming evenings will make good for a roaring fire in the pit, good friends and conversation, maybe a few little “white lies� about the fall hunts. I am more than ready for all of this and so much more.....4-wheeler rides in the “Enchanted Forest�, Fishin’, walking in the woods with my dogs, garden time (love the fresh food we plant, can, freeze & EAT), Lake time, splashing in the water and floating along. I can’t wait to introduce Miss Lilly to the sandy beaches and watch her play in the water and sand, MeMa is excited here! I truly wish that more people “COULD� see the beauty that surrounds us daily, so many expectations a person carries will cloud what is within ones reach! The moon has been incredible, so true in shape to the MAN IN THE MOON, looking at it in a certain way you can actually see him swinging off the tip. How it illuminates so brightly in the dark skies, circles and colors surrounds it.... what magic it could hold. Amazing how one person can be looking at the moon and thousands of miles away another person is looking at the same moon, pretty neat conception, isn’t it? I hope of the Cupids hit the right spot this year and everyone had a Wonderful Loving Valentines Day! Make sure to hug the one your with and tell them how much they are appreciated....like I always say, it’s the little things that mean alot! Take time to enjoy, then happiness will be easy to reach. As Always, Love & Hugs from the Lake...........Connie

The residents played Bingo this afternoon. The grand prize winners were Dale Carr, Jaunita Garner, and Martha Mason. Tuesday was the big day for the Mardi Gras party. Holly decorated the Community Room in the traditional Mardi Gras colors of purple, gold, and green. The residents wore elaborate Mardi Gras feathered masks and lots of beads! Each resident was served a King Cupcake and inside one of the cupcakes was the ‘good luck baby’. Isabel Hutcherson found the baby and became the queen of the Mardi Gras party. The residents enjoyed a very special treat this afternoon. Michelle LaMonda, LPN/ MDS Coordinator, sang a great selection of country songs and the residents

asked her if she would just sing everyday while she worked! The Friendship Design class met Wednesday morning and made Valentines. Pastor Delbert Earlywine, from the Clarence United Methodist Church, led Bible study this afternoon. Donna Barton was here Thursday and she and the residents played Valentine Bingo in the morning.

McDowell. Donna Barton sang several all time favorite love songs in honor of the day, while the residents and their guests enjoyed cake and punch. Clark Dobbs, from the Macon First Baptist Church, led Bible study Friday morning. The study title was “The Truth of the Gospel”. Scripture was read from 1 Timothy 1:3-7, 12-20. Clark told us that the central truth of the gospel is that Christ came to save sinners, and Believers ground their faith in the truth of the gospel of grace. Donna Barton played a fun game of Antique Trivia with the residents this afternoon. Ronnie Shores came out Saturday and played music cd’s for the residents, then in the afternoon, Darrell McDowell shared his movie, Circus Train Adventure, with his fellow residents. We would like to offer our very deepest sympathy to the family and friends of Alberta “Cruse” Ratliff.

Atlanta Basketball

By Becky Jeffcoat The Atlanta Hornets hosted the Bevier Wildcats for their last season home game beginning at 6:00 p.m. The Lady Hornets kept the “W” at home with a score of 48-33. Scoring for Atlanta were Samantha Reed 16, Abbi Parton 2, Ashton Ross 6, Shalyla Collier 3, Katy Baker 5, Maddie Cuppy 3, Taylor Howlett 2 and Sheyenne Klamert 11. This brings the girls record to 5-2

in conference and 11-14 overall. Coach Daniels commented that “the girls played a tough game tonight. Slow start. Our best defense was the defensive pressure we put on them. We created turnovers that went in for scores for us. I thought that was the difference in the game. We need to be clicking on all cylinders Saturday!” The boys also kept the winning streak going as they took the win over

Bevier 77-61. Scoring for Atlanta were Collan Thrasher 15, Dylan Hruska 17, Lance Weber 19, Korbin Gunnels 8, Tagan Brookhart 14 and Lane Waddle 4. The boys are now 6-1 in conference, tied with Linn County and La Plata for the title and 11-14 overall. “A lot of offense tonight on both sides”, says Daniels. “It makes me smile to have 4 guys in double figures! Bevier kept hammering back at

us, but give my boys credit, they did not stumble. They kept their cool, knew what was at stake, and took it. I am really proud of them. I have seen a ton of maturity out of this group of kids. Don’t know when the last time our boys won conference, but it was before my time, so it has been at least over 14 years ago”, added Daniels.

I’m too young to have a heart attack. Or am I?
