SAFE BOATING WEEK National Safe Boating Week Is May 17-23, 2014

Colonel Ron Replogle, superintendent of the Missouri State Highway Patrol, would like to make the public aware of National Safe Boating Week, which takes place May 17-23, 2014. As the weather starts to warm up, we’re all anxious to get outside and enjoy the sunshine.

Families and friends gather together to enjoy the outdoors, travel on vacation, and spend time on the water – boating, fishing, sailing and more. It’s important to include safety when planning recreational water activities.

It’s no coincidence that National Safe Boating Week is the week prior to the Memorial Day weekend. The majority of boaters most likely have not had their boats

in the water yet this year. Thus, boaters are encouraged to inspect their vessel to make sure all equipment is in good, serviceable condition. One great way to ensure all your boat’s equipment is in good working order is to have a courtesy equipment inspection performed by the Missouri State Highway Patrol, U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary, or the U.S. Power Squadron. Troopers will perform a courtesy inspection on the water if you wave them over and request one.

Nationwide, approximately 500 people drown each year from recreational boating crashes. Of those, nearly 88 percent were not wearing a life jacket.

It is imperative that everyone wear a life jacket at all

VIEWS AND COMMENTS

Letter to the Editor

From the Editor

by Editor Carolyn Trower

WHERE ANGELS LOVE TO SOAR This past Saturday and Sunday, the embodiment of grace, power, engineering, (and most of all – teamwork) drew ooh’s, ahh’s and more than a few misty-eyed full-faced smiles from the spectators at Spirit of St. Louis Airport in Chesterfield, MO. Not to discount in any way the spectacular performances provided by the USAF Thunderbirds and the Canadian Air Force’s Snowbirds, it will be 70 years I 2017 since the U.S. Navy’s Blue Angels first treated the American public to a demonstration of the superior aircraft design and the remarkable pilot skills that helped turn the tide of WWII in the Pacific Campaign.

In 1947, the American spirit was high. Wages were not. A nation struggling with war debt and dealing with Korean turbulence faced the added burden of completing medical aid for and trying to find jobs for WWII returnees.

Enter: the BLUE ANGELS. Flying F4U Vought Corsairs (the unquestioned thoroughbreds of WWII carrier fighters), the performance of this precision aerial drill team lifted eyes to the sky and spirits from despair. “This is what we do,” people nodded.

For the next several decades, the Blue Angels continued to be the showcase of the American portfolio.

Then they (and our nation) ran up against a cluster of nationally elected parasites whose only objective is to serve the interests of their funding sources. Enter the sequester; a political ploy to infuriate the general public without interfering in any way with the continuing compensation of the “buffoons in a bubble” whose self-serving political posturing failed completely to manage the business of

the nation.

During a discussion of this, the second performance of the Blue Angels as they emerge from Sequester a friend asked, “How did they get released from Sequester now?”

“Election year,” I answered.

Not that we should go back to the technology of 1947, but not all designs lose their effectiveness as fast as “E” devices. During Korea, the North American P51’s and the F4U Corsairs were pretty much a match for the early MIG’s. The first ChiCom MIG shot down in Vietnam was destroyed by a P51 Mustang.

More important, let’s do a quick review of the gentleman from Independence. After FDR proclaimed, “Stalin is my friend,” Harry didn’t buy it. “No,” he told Stalin, “You are not going to own Berlin.” This was after Roosevelt had ordered American troops, already in Berlin, pulled back so the Russians could enter.

Would FDR, Obama, or “Hilary-in-the-wings” muster the courage to launch the Enola Gay, order the Berlin Airlift, or utter a statement not written by spin-doctors and purified by lawyers on the taxpayers’ payroll?

The sight of the BLUE ANGELS back in the air and the wonderful rapport the pilots communicate as they greet those who tour their ground display is a reminder that our Armed Forces stand ready to serve. When wimps or special interests run the authority engagement process, people like Putin can run a test of cohesion like the Syrian debacle, emerge as the source of decisive and influential leadership, and be ready to engage Wilsonian-Era diplomacy at leisure.

Hopefully our Angels will keep their wings.

and not to forget where they came from. All well and good, a necessary reminder most of us need at least once a year.

But, I thought, what about being a good steward of our time? Isn’t time one of the most precious “things” we’ve been given? Don’t get me wrong, I count lazy afternoons at the pool, catching a nap on the couch or watching one of my favorite sci-fi movies as time well spent. Same goes for reading on a rainy afternoon, which I suppose could be better spent cleaning drawers or doing laundry. There are, however, many instances when I’ve squandered time feeling sorry for myself or fretting about issues in the news and other things over which I have no control.

I’ve relived arguments in my head that have long been forgotten by the other party. I’ve played the “What if ” game until my head is ready to explode. None of which are examples of good stewardship of time.

Is it just part of human nature to indulge in these selfish wastes of time? Obviously I don’t learn from the past or I wouldn’t repeat the same mistakes over and over. Or do even these “wastes of time” serve some higher purpose?

I’m not able to answer these questions right now. What I can do is spend time more wisely – read a poem, listen to a favorite song, talk with my grandchildren, call a friend, sit on my deck and look at the stars – the list is endless.

WHAT WOULD YOU DO?

Your child has been sick for months with no relief. After numerous doctor visits, a diagnosis is finally given and treatment begins. You are driving into a neighboring state for treatment, but it’s worth it because your child is finally feeling better. One of the doctors moves to a different hospital but is still close enough to see.

Your child becomes ill and one doctor tells you to take them to the other doctor’s new hospital’s ER for a direct admission and the other doctor will treat them there. But when you get to the new location of the doctor, you never see him. Another doctor comes up with a completely different diagnosis and brings in psychologists to confirm. They refuse to bring your child’s doctor on the case. They say your child is making their illness up - it’s all in their head. So you tell the hospital you’re leaving and going to the other

doctor.

What parent wouldn’t do that? Your child had been receiving treatment for a diagnosis and shown major improvements. What would you do if the hospital called DCFS and reported you for abuse and neglect?

Fight it? The proof is on your side. You have medical records on your side. Fight the good fight, right? What do you do when the state you don’t even live in takes your rights away and places your child in the hospital’s care? Your child is no longer receiving treatment. You are only allowed supervised visits once a week for just a few hours. You are no longer allowed to speak with doctors about treatment.

And you’re under a gag order from the court.

One family from Conneticut is in this position.

They have broken their silence because they are fighting for their daughter’s life. The state of Massachusetts has kept

their daughter, Justina, in a hospital for over 15 months. Mike Huckabee has had the family and their lawyers on his show several times over the past two months.

Justina turns 16 in just a few short weeks and they would love to have her home by then.

I have only summarized this harrowing story; the full story is available at www.freejustina. org. Glenn Beck is also covering this story on The Blaze.

This is only one story.

I remember another one in California because parents didn’t want surgery on their infant and left the hospital AMA to drive straight to another hospital for a second opinion. They were lucky and didn’t lose their child for fifteen months. How much control does the government have in our daily lives and decisions? This is one story worth paying attention to.

KEEP ‘EM TINTED My grandson, Cory, completed his third tour to the Middle East and is now on his way to Germany to be with his wife who is still in the service. Since he will be there for an extended stay, he needed to get rid of his Japanese Nissan car in a hurry with its high priced insurance and interest payments. Guess who had to get him off

I love reading through the church news in the paper. I like comparing which Gospel readings were chosen for the week and the sermon titles. Looking through the prayer list lets me know who is sick, who is traveling and who is celebrating birthdays and anniversaries. Small town news encapsulated between hymn titles.

Scanning the sermon highlights of one article made me pause. You know how you can read and/or hear the same message a dozen times a year and yet never really think about the meaning? Well, this particular time the usual words raised a question. The sermon was on good stewardship, reminding us to be mindful of the good things in our lives

Dear Editor: Saturday, May 10, marks the 22nd anniversary of one of America’s great days of giving – the National Association of Letter Carriers Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive.

Letter carriers walk through the community every day, often coming face to face with a sad reality for too many, hunger.

So, each year on the second Saturday in May, letter carriers across the country collect non-perishable food donations from our customers. These donations go directly to local food pantries to provide food to people in Ralls County who need our help.

Last year, we collected over 74 million pounds of food nationally, feeding an estimated 30 million people. Over the course of its 21-year history, the drive has collected well over one billion pounds of food thanks to a postal service universal delivery network that spans the entire nation, including Puerto Rico, Guam and U.S. Virgin Islands.

The need for food donations is great. Currently, 49 million Americans – 1 in 6 – are unsure where their next meal is coming from. Sixteen million are children feel hunger’s impact on their overall health and ability to perform in school. And nearly 5 million seniors over the age of 60 are food insecure, with many who live on fixed incomes.

Our food drive’s timing is crucial. Food banks and pantries often receive the majority of their donations during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday seasons. By springtime, many pantries are depleted, entering the summer low on supplies at a time when many school breakfast and lunch programs are not available to children in need.

Participating in this year’s Letter Carrier Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive is simple. Just leave a nonperishable food donation in a bag by your mailbox on Saturday, May 10 and your letter carrier will do the rest. I invite you to join in America’s great day of giving and help us in our fight to end hunger.

Sincerely, Mike Lanier Postmaster, New London, MO 63459

the hook? It had some dark tinted vinyl covering the windows. Cory said, “Grandpa, I will have that vinyl removed so you can see to drive at night.” I said, “That’s alright, Cory.

car, Grandpa?” I said, “Good Lord, Cory. They bombed Pearl Harbor.” He replied, “Good Lord, Grandpa. How long ago was that?” I said, “72 years.” Cory said, “Most everybody else has forgiven them, Grandpa. Japanese cars are best sellers in the United States.”

Not many people who were alive in 1941 when the Japanese sneak attacked and bombed Pearl Harbor killing 2,400 people buy Japanese cars. We were not at war with Japan, and Japan was not at war with us. It was a true terrorist attack, somewhat resembling the World Trade Center. The next day, they declared war on us, and we declared war on them, which resulted in more than 100,000 servicemen

“Let’s pretend, Cory, that Osama Bin Laden who was responsible for 2,753 deaths at the WorldTrade Center lived, received amnesty, decided to be a good guy from now on, and got a bunch of his Taliban buddies to build a factory and start making Arab cars. In your lifetime, Cory, would you buy one?” He changed the subject and said, “There is something I forgot to tell you, Grandpa. That car gets 35 miles to the gallon.”….“Huh?” Jack can be reached at PO Box 40, Oak Grove, MO 64075 or jackremembers@aol.com. Visit www. jackremembers.com.

Safe Boating Week

in and around the water.

Missouri law requires children under seven to wear a life jacket at all times while on board a boat unless in an enclosed cabin area. The Missouri State Highway Patrol joins the National Safe Boating Council, U.S. Coast Guard Boating Safety Division, National Association of State Boating Law Administrators, and Canadian Safe Boating Council in encouraging safe and responsible boating, including wearing a life jacket, and being alert and aware in and on the water.

“Boating crashes occur too quickly for you to reach for a life jacket,” said Colonel Replogle.

“Missouri experienced 97 boating crashes in 2013, in which 87 people were injured and 17 people were killed. Please pay attention when enjoying Missouri’s waters, and make sure you have a life jacket for each person in your boat. Take time to choose a life jacket that fits properly and is approved for your activity and body weight.”

Life jackets are now lighter, less obtrusive, and more comfortable than ever before. The new inflatable life jackets allow the mobility and flexibility for activities like boating, fishing or paddling, and are much cooler in the warmer weather.

There are many different varieties of inflatable jackets ranging from those that inflate instantly when submerged in the water to those that are manually inflated. All are designed to be more comfortable and wearable than the

traditional life jacket.

In addition to your life jacket, remember these boating safety tips: 1) Don’t drink alcohol while you’re boating.

2) Know Missouri’s boating laws before you get onto the water.

3) Check the weather. Know the forecast prior to going out, and check for changing conditions regularly.

4) Make sure you can keep in touch. In an emergency situation, cell

“The Missouri State Highway Patrol would like the 2014 boating season to be fun for everyone,” said Col. Replogle.

Boaters are reminded to contact the Missouri State Highway Patrol using *55 if they need assistance, or observe another boater operating a ves-

sel in an unsafe manner.

In support of “The Drive To ZERO Highway Deaths,” the Patrol encourages motorists to protect themselves and their passengers by making sure everyone in the vehicle is properly restrained in a seat belt or child restraint. Watercraft operators should ensure that everyone in the vessel is wearing an approved life jacket. Click It 4 Life and Wear It!!

The Ralls County Herald-Enterprise

Perry Christian Church The May 5 worship service of the Perry Christian Church began with the choir singing “Christ Arose”. Joanna Todd, our eighth grade graduate, was recognized by Arlen Provancha and presented a special book. She was congratulated and following the service a dinner was held in her honor. Damien Pickard, also a graduate, was unable to be present Pastor Todd reminded everyone that the Monroe City Singers would sing at 6 p.m. tonight at the church courtesy of the Music Club. There will be a Fund Raising Committee meeting on May 18.

“My Jesus, My Savior” was sung in praise. “I Need Thee Every Hour” was the prayer hymn. Among our concerns were Ron and Mae McLaughlin, Nancy Birch, Wanda Shoemate, Donald Broyles, Barb Cunningham, John Howald and Nancy Seelow. Our congratulations and prayers go with all the graduates.

Birthdays for Nana

Smith, May 8 and JoAnne Bumgarner, May 9 will be celebrated.

Pastor Todd spoke of the importance of the holy communion as he invited all to share. Joyce Coleman and Floyd Seelow offered the elder’s prayer. Deacons were Warren Hetrick, Eunice Fisher, David and Wyatt Lewellen. The choir sang “Peace Like A River”. Jeannie Gay gave the children’s moment. They were given an eye test on recognizing Jesus. Jill Lewellen read Luke 24:1335 for the pastor’s sermon “Learning To Witness Inclusively”. When Jesus appeared to the disciples on the road to Emmaus, He broke bread with them and they were able to recognize Him as Lord and accepted this revelation. Those who have this experience will receive the Grace of God. “Softly and Tenderly” was the invitation hymn. The benediction was given and the service closed singing “God Be With You”.

South Fork Presbyterian Pastor John Grimmett Services Sunday, May 4 began with Patti Grimmett playing “Hymn of Promise” on the piano followed by Debbie Carey leading in song to “Come Thou Almighty King”, “Fairest Lord Jesus”, “Doxology”, “Open My Eyes” and “Blest Be the Tie That Binds” Pastor John Grimmett led the Responsive Reading from Psalm 103 and 119.

Prayer was held for Bryan Carey; Arla Eisenhower; Irene Wells; Mary McMorris; Ellen Newbraugh; Sherry Cleaver; Arian Bergman; Larry; Cindy; Amanda; victims of all recent tragedies; families of Bonnie Wheeler and John Carmen and all said the Lord’s Prayer.

Patti played guitar and sang “Resurrection” a song she composed.

The message “What Do You Want?” was based on scripture from 1 Kings 3: as Solomon realized he was talking to God - he wanted to lead his people, have wisdom and honor having wealth he begins to build temples and getting more wealthy - all his

wealth will soon disappear - not doing what God wanted. It’s all like a puff of smoke! Not remembering to do what God wants us to do...with God things are good - without God things are bad.

Adrift on an island without God! Life is worthless and meaningless. The love of money can become the root of all evil. Jesus is King of kings and Lord of lords! He came into this world as a slave for you and me! He went to the cross - what did Jesus want to do? He wanted to tell you about God’s love!

The God who has blessed us with all things...

Earl Sweitzer led the Offertory and Communion as Patti played “Give Thanks”.

All retired in fellowship to “Be Thou My Vision. Services are held every Sunday at 9 a.m. and all are welcome to come hear the word of the Lord.

“Motorcyclin’ Gramma” to be honored at Park Days

Hazel Kolb, Ralls County’s “Motorcyclin’ Gramma,” will be honored with a Memorial Portrait to be presented at the June 7-8 New London Park Days.

Kolb received national fame for her 1979 solo tour around the perimeter of the United States, her “80 days on an 80.” She traveled around the continental states on a HarleyDavidson Electra Glide as a way to promote motorcycling and to honor her husband, Jack, an avid motorcycle rider.

Ha r l e y - D a v i d s o n’s public relations department began arranging interviews along the route.

News of the “Motorcyclin’ Gramma” reached national level and she was asked to appear with Johnny Carson on “The Tonight Show” and to appear on “Good Morning America.”

Kolb’s ride prompted her to write “On the Perimeter” with Bill Stermer, published in 1983. She was born in 1926 and raised near Hannibal. When her older brother, Tom, moved to California he bought a motorcycle and Hazel’s first ride was behind her brother on his Harley. She made a promise to herself to buy her own bike and to return to California to visit

Tom. Her dream would be put on hold while she navigated an early marriage and four children before the age of 22. After she divorced her husband, she met and married Jack Kolb, a Ralls County farmer. After Jack got a 1967 Harley Electra Glide they became devoted riders. Soon she had her own Harley and they were riding side by side. Jack died of heart failure in 1975 at the age of 46.

Hazel’s story came full circle when she crossed into California on her perimeter ride. At the end of the historic ride Hazel had covered over 1500 miles and had given over 300 interviews.

Hazel died from cancer in 1990 but she left behind a legacy for all those who love to ride. The American Motorcyclist Association inaugurated the Hazel Kolb Brighter Image Award on 1987 “to honor those who generate positive publicity for motorcyclists and motorcycles.”

Motorcycling communities all across the nation owe their growth and success to these people.

Hazel’s memorial portrait is being sponsored by the local B.O.S.S. club.

MoDOT Begins Mowing Roadsides MoDOT crews will soon begin mowing roadsides across the state.

Motorists will see tractor mowers near the shoulder of interstates and other busy roadways. Motorists need to slow down, move over a lane if possible and give crews room to work.

“State highway roadsides are mowed at intersections and along the roadway shoulder to provide good visibility,” said MoDOT State Main-

tenance Engineer Beth Wright.

Major and minor routes will be mowed at least three times through the end of October. Along with the mowing, crews selectively use herbicides to stunt grass growth as well as to control brush and stop the spread of noxious weeds.

Wildflowers are an added benefit of not mowing fence-to-fence and careful herbicide usage.

On rural two-lane

roads, crews may use a protective “follow” truck to lead motorists past the mowers. Drivers are advised to use the following tips to safely pass mowers: Be alert for trucks and tractors with lights flashing and moving slowly, 2 mph to 5 mph.

Slow down and focus on the road ahead of you.

Avoid talking and texting on a cell phone or other distractions.

Be prepared to stop or

drive very slowly behind a “follow” truck, especially approaching a hill or curve on a two-lane road.

Pass when you can see far enough past the “follow” truck to avoid meeting oncoming traffic.

Between mowing cycles, report grass and weeds blocking visibility at intersections along state roads to MoDOT. Contact MoDOT’s 24/7 Customer Service at 1-888-ASKMODOT.

Brooklyn Gaines, age nine, of New London harvested her first turkey April 12, 2014. She was hunting on her grandparent’s farm in Shelby County. The turkey weighed 23 pounds with a 9-inch beard and inch spurs.

Center Elementary students were invited to bring their dads to school and enjoy “Donuts with Dad” last Thursday, April 24. Over 200 students and dads attended the event. Chandler Flowers takes a break from breakfast to pose for a picture with his father. During Life Skills class that week,

students wrote notes to their dads to “fill their buckets”. “Bucket filling” is a component of the 7 Habits of Happy Kids program, whereby students are taught to say kind words to others in order to help develop positive attitudes and promote positive relationships.
