Fair board selects stage acts for 2016 Stover Fair

The Stover Fair Board approved stage entertainment selections for this year’s Stover Fair at its Tuesday, March 8 meeting at Scarlett’s Supper Club in Stover. Thursday night, June 16 will feature the Little King and Queen and Little Prince and Princess contests sponsored by the Stover Active Women. Following the parade, there will be a talent contest sponsored by the Stover Chamber of Commerce. There is something new Friday night, June 17, when the feature act will be the Gillam Family Illusions magic show. This is a family-friendly display of magic tricks and stage illusions. During the Gillam Family’s intermission, the Fire Throwers will give a repeat performance. Saturday, June 18, the final night of the fair, will be headlined by Ron Hodges and Friends, a local band with members drawn from across the state. The Fire Throwers will perform again during their intermission. There will also be door prize giveaways Friday and Saturday nights. The Jones & Company Carnival, so popular last year, will also return. Bids submitted for the 2016 Stover Fair T-shirts were reviewed and the Print Shoppe in Stover had the winning bid. Desirae Heimsoth brought suggested

logos for the shirts, and the board narrowed the choices to two close contenders before making a final choice. Tracey Durant reported on a proposed new event for this year’s fair: a greased pig contest. The board voted to add this event to the fair. There will be age divisions and cash prizes. Park upgrades Reporting on the status of the park upgrades, Larry Monroe said the electrical service in the new carnival area needs to be upgraded at a significant cost. Alice Tietjen presented a check to the board from the Stover Lions Club for $500, specifically to help with the electrical upgrade. Gravel is also needed to cover areas where there is no asphalt. Anyone who can help in either of these areas should call fair board president Marty Weber at 573377-2555. The culvert authorized at the last meeting was delivered and installed. The board recognized Nick Dothage and the City of Stover for assisting in this effort and with needed tree trimming nearby. Weber reported on his meeting with Stover Police Chief Trampus Jackson regarding public safety issues during the fair. Among the items discussed, the board approved his recommendations

to designate a command post for fair board information, locating lost children, public announcements and first aid. Severe weather procedures were discussed and evacuation plans were outlined. Contact will be made with the National Weather Service to implement their Tier 1 program, which will provide weather monitoring and notification of dangerous weather conditions to a designated contact person at the fair. It was reported Mid-Mo Ambulance agreed to coordinate ambulance service and on-site first aid services at the fair. A proposal for rain insurance by Spectrum Insurance of Liberty was discussed. It was decided the parameters for coverage and the associated costs were not suitable for the Stover Fair. Results of the annual fundraiser breakfast were discussed and changes for next year’s breakfast were determined. The proceeds from this event will help fund upgrades for the carnival area at Stover Legion Memorial Park. The board was grateful for the public’s support. The next fair board meeting is scheduled 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, April 12 at Stover Legion Memorial Park, weather permitting; otherwise at Scarlett’s Supper Club in downtown Stover.

Casey’s General Store is scheduled to reopen 5 a.m. Thursday, March 17 at 101 E. Fourth St. in Stover. The store closed Monday, Feb. 8 for remodeling. Sam James, a financial analyst with the Ankeny, Iowa-based convenience store chain, said a grand-reopening celebration is scheduled Friday, April 1 at the Stover location. The celebration will include special promotional

deals throughout the day. The remodel was part of a project to update approximately 100 stores a year within the company, which operates more than 1,900 stores. Approximately 1,000 square feet were added to the store, including a 28-by-36-foot addition at the west end of the building to expand the sales floor and add public bathrooms. A smaller addition

was added at the east end, mostly to provide extra space for kitchen preparation. All-in, James said, the remodeled store encloses approximately 3,100 square feet, significantly more than its previous 2,000 square feet. Among the store’s new offering are a walk-in beer cave, a madeto-order submarine sandwich counter, and an expanded coffee

area. In January, Casey’s companywide began offering online pizza ordering at www.caseys.com, James said. There is also a Casey’s mobile app, available in the Apple App Store or Google Play, and offering a coupon for a free slice with download. As for the Stover store itself, James said, “We’re excited to get it up and running.”

“I think I’ve got a good attitude about life,” Lakeview Heights resident Stanley Rorrer said in a recent interview. “I don’t think I know a stranger,” he said. “Everybody is a friend. Any time you meet anybody, it’s a friend.” Eleven years after an electrical accident cost him both hands and badly damaged his lower legs, his positive and friendly outlook counts as a victory. With Shirley, his “wonderful wife” of 28 years, Rorrer lived in Buckner eight years before moving in 2009 to their house overlooking a small cove on Lake of the Ozarks. Before that, he worked 32 years in Independence, 23 of them at the street department. “I was a greenhorn when I started,” he said, describing his rise from the lowliest laborer to supervisor of a concrete crew before he transferred to the water department. A decade later, his career ended Jan. 20, 2005 in an on-thejob incident that exposed him to 69,000 volts of electricity. He lost his arm from a little below his elbow, and his right hand at the wrist. He had to learn to use prosthetic arms with hooks instead of hands. Also, his ankles were all but incinerated. Surgeons pieced his legs and feet back together using metal pins and tissue taken from elsewhere on his legs. His weakened bones, scarred muscle, and deadened nerves made it hard for him to walk without the help of special shoes. In spite of his disability, Rorrer has stayed active since his accident. Next to Shirley’s support, he counts his ability to operate construction equipment among the things that most helped keep his spirits up. Not lying down After his 2005 accident, he lost his Class A driver’s license, and could no longer haul lowboy trailers loaded with machinery such as bulldozers, backhoes, graders, cranes, and scrapers. But with his prosthetic hands, he continued to operate the machines themselves. During the past decade, Rorrer has built retaining walls, graded driveways, and cleared land for the owners to build on or use as camping sites. His activties proved a man can be productive

even after losing his hands. There are some things Rorrer can no longer do. He found he could not do flat work, or concrete finishing, as he used to. Though he once loved to fish, he can no longer put some kinds of bait on a hook, nor can he cast his line. “I can reel it in,” he said, “but not real good. It slips off my hook. And I can’t clean my fish.” Though he can adjust his hooks to pick up and hold objects, they aren’t handy with some tools. “I can’t operate a winch,” he said. “I can’t change the oil on my equipment. I just stand back and watch other people do it, and point my nub.” An avid hunter, Rorrer is a living example of the proverb, “Necessity is the mother of invention.” He holds the patent for a device that he calls a shoulder holster: a brace to hold the butt of a rifle so he can aim it with his left arm and squeeze the trigger with the hook on his right. He has learned ways to get by even without the hooks, dialing a telephone with the stump of his left wrist and using the speakerphone function to talk. He doesn’t complain about the amount of pain he has to manage. Asked about it, he admits to coping with the aid of a morphine patch on his back. He also feels phantom pain, adding, “I can still feel my hands.” Twice injured At the moment, Rorrer cannot even do many things he could do during the first 10 years after his electrical accident. Last Thanksgiving Day, Thursday, Nov. 26, 2015, Rorrer suffered another devastating accident while trying to spread a tarp over his boat, which was parked above a retaining wall. As he climbed down the side of the boat overlooking the wall, he lost his balance. Since he was not wearing his arm prostheses at the time, he had no way to regain his grip. Worried he might fall backward and break his neck, he said, “I tried to just go with it” - and fell straight down, nine or 10 feet to the lakeshore below the wall. Shirley, who was on the other side of the boat at the time, said, “I didn’t see him fall, but I heard him yell. Then I couldn’t figure out where he disappeared to, un-

Marchand trial continued; major cases move forward

The trial of Williams James Marchand of Stover on charges of first-degree child molestation and first-degree statutory rape has been continued at the request of the prosecution. Marchand, represented by defense attorney Kevin J. Lorenz of Columbus, appeared on video before circuit judge Kevin Crane at a Monday, March 7 pre-trial conference at the Boone County Circuit Court in Columbia. Crane noted the defense’s demand for a speedy trial, but overruled it in favor of the state’s motion for a continuance. The trial previously scheduled to begin Tuesday, March 15 was canceled. A new date for the twoday trial is to be determined. Smith case update Among the latest developments in other criminal cases relating to the Stover area, the sex crimes trial of former local Baptist youth minister Travis Ray Smith appeared before circuit judge Kenneth M. Hayden for a pre-trial review Monday, March 7 at the Laclede County Circuit Court in Lebanon. By consent of all parties, Hayden ordered the case to proceed to trial. Smith is being prosecuted by Michael J. Gilley of the Camden County Prosecuting Attorney’s office. He is defended by Shane Lee Farrow of Jefferson City. In three cases pending against Smith, trials are scheduled concurrently to begin Monday, April 18 in Lebanon. In Case 1, Smith is charged with two counts each of seconddegree statutory rape and second-degree statutory sodomy, both Class C felonies. In Case 2, he is charged with the unclassified felony of forcible rape, two counts of second-degree statutory rape, and the Class C felony of sexual abuse. In Case 3, he is charged with forcible sodomy. Litton trial In the prosecution of Jamie Ann Litton of Stover for first-de-

gree murder and abuse of a child resulting in death, no new developments have been publicized on Missouri Case.net since the case received a change of venue in August 2015 to Pulaski County. At that time Hayden was trying the Litton case, and a jury trial was scheduled to begin Monday, Sept. 26 after previous cancellations and venue changes from Morgan County and Laclede County. No further information is available, because all parties in the case are under a judicial gag order. Litton’s charges arise from the February 2012 beating death of her three-year-old son Blake Litton by her then-boyfriend Thomas “T.J.” Presley. Presley was convicted on similar charges Jan. 28, 2015 at the Cass County Circuit Court in Harrisonville and sentenced to life in prison. Giersdorf, Hartman A jury trial for Patience Destinie Giersdorf, charged with first-degree conspiracy to commit murder in the Stover area, is scheduled to begin Tuesday, July 5 before Judge Stan Moore in Morgan County Circuit Court in Versailles. A jury trial for Nicholas Ryan Hartman, charged with first-degree conspiracy to commit murder in the same incident near Stover, is scheduled to begin Monday, July 18 before Hayden in Camden County Circuit Court in Camdenton. A previous trial setting was canceled when the case received a venue change in May 2015 from Morgan County. Stout case dismissed The federal indictment against Cameron Stout of Stover was dismissed in November 2015 when Stout was placed on pretrial diversion. Don Ledford, public affairs officer of the Western District, Mo. U.S. Attorney’s Office in Kansas City, explained this “means Stout agreed to follow certain conditions in order to avoid criminal

prosecution.” Stout was arrested by U.S. marshals in March 2015 for threatening to shoot President Barack Obama.

Casey’s General Store reopens Thursday, March 17

Rorrer stays upbeat after devastating accidents til I went around the end of the wall.” Stanley had landed on his feet, breaking the already weakened bones in both legs. His left leg had two breaks below the knee; the right was completely crushed, and had to be put back together with surgical pins. “I’m still not allowed to walk,” said Rorrer. “The doctor said I can do no weight-bearing at all.” Months after his second accident, his doctor is still concerned the right leg isn’t mending as it should. A recent CAT scan showed the bone seemed to be collapsing. He also has blood tests taken to monitor his Vitamin D levels, which relates to bone healing. While Rorrer may find it discouraging to be able to do very little, he enjoys the companionship of four indoor dogs and an 8-year-old cat named Sweatpea. He described Cocoa, a 12year-old rat terrier, as “the best dog I ever had.” “I say, ‘Give me a hug,’ and she puts her head on my chest, and she can’t get close enough to me,” said Rorrer. Following the death of another beloved dog at age 14, the Rorrers recently adopted Molly, a beagle-chihuahua mix; Bandit, a chihuahua pup; and Blondie, a beagle-yellow lab mix. But he gives most of the credit for helping him through the pain and disability to Shirley. Help-mate “She takes care of me,” he said. “I wouldn’t make it without her. She’s my lifesaver. She’s my lover. She’s my friend.” Theirs is a second marriage for both of them. They have three sons from previous marriages - one his, two hers. In fact, they met through their kids, who played together when the two families lived a block apart. Shirley said Stanley fixed her sons’ bicycles before she met him. Her boys came home from playing with the boy down the street and told her, “Jason’s dad is divorced too!” The couple finally met while helping the boys search for a baseball they had knocked into a flower-filled cemetery on Memorial Day. They now share seven grandchildren and one greatgrandson. “He’s amazing,” Shirley said

Stanley Rorrer of Lakeview Heights lost both hands in a Jan. 20, 2005 electrical accident. He has not walked since breaking both legs in a Thanksgiving Day fall Thursday, Nov. 26, 2015. With him are dogs Blondie, left, and Molly. (photo by R. D. Fish) of her husband. “Everybody says that. They’re in awe of everything he does.” She told how Stanley used his hand-controlled Bobcat to clean snow off the roads and repair the gravel in the Lakeview Heights area. He used the same Bobcat to build the wall he later fell off. He helped build the house they live in, also by operating machinery. He mowed the grass in public areas around the village. He helped a new neighbor do the landscaping rock work around her house. Most of this, she said, he did just to keep himself busy. He doesn’t mind being on disability, but he doesn’t let that stop him from being active and useful to his community. “He does a lot of things for people,” said Shirley. “It’s by word of mouth. People say, ‘Get Stanley to do it.’” After his latest accident, she said, “We had so many visitors, people who came and said, ‘What can we do to help?’” Going back to her theme, Shirley repeated, “He’s amazing. He gets out and does things. He doesn’t let it stop him.”

Ivy Bend News

by Charlotte Gaden 573-372-2743 Business is flourishing in Ivy Bend now that the fisherman are leading the charge to the tourist season. Be careful on the lake! The water is extremely low. I have never seen it this low in the 33 years I have lived here. Boats can still be launched at the Wigwam School access near Ivy Bend. This week’s free senior meal will be served by Lakeview Baptist Church 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Friday, March 18 at the Ivy Bend Food Pantry. The menu is pulled pork on a bun, baked beans, potato salad, jello, coffee, and tea. The event is going well, as 69 people enjoyed the Friday, March 11 senior dinner.

There was a nice showing at the celebration of life event for Marvin Turner Sunday, March 13 at Skippers. More than 60 friends and family members attended. Spoonbill season opened Tuesday, March 15 and continues through Saturday, April 30. Anyone who still needs a license can buy one at Gem Mini Mart. Don’t forget, the Lake Road 135-12 Neighborhood Improvement District town hall meeting is 10 a.m. Thursday, March 31 at the Ivy Bend Food Pantry. This is very important for those who do not wish to see the paved portion of Ivy Bend Road revert to gravel. If that happens, the community will most certainly lose some services.

Lions breakfast March 19 The Stover Lions Club will have a fundraising breakfast 7 to 11 a.m. Saturday, March 19 at the Lions Den on South Oak Street in Stover. The menu is all-you-can-eat pancakes and sausage with coffee, orange juice, and a sweet dessert.

Prices are $7 for adults and $4 for children. The event is to raise funds for an annual scholarship to help a local student attend a vocational or community college. The club has supported the community’s youth in this way more than 50 years.

Thank You

First we would like to thank our family and friends that pulled together to put on a benefit on my behalf. Thank you to our community and surrounding communities for coming out to give me and my family such amazing support in my battle with cancer. We have been so humbled by all the support we have received in my second round of fighting cancer. My wife Yvonne and I tried to thank as many of our friends as we could at the benefit, if we missed you please accept our appreciation for coming. The love we felt from all of you is an amazing feeling. My wife always says we are not in this fight alone. All of your support has certainly proven that to us. Again thank you and God bless you all!

Years Past

From the files of The Morgan County Press March 13, 1936 The Wagner family of Stover is having the unique experience of all being in college at the same time. Pearl Anita, who completed her high school course last quarter, is enrolled as a Freshman at CMS Teachers College this quarter. Werner is in business college at Sedalia. Ruth Adeline is a Junior at CMSTC. Mrs. Gertrude Wagner, mother of those above named and widow of the late Rev. W. R. Wagner, is a senior and candidate for a degree in May.

March 15, 1946 Bill Biggs, son of Mr. and Mrs. Royce Biggs, of Stover Rfd. 2, arrived home Tuesday of last week having received his discharge from the Navy. Bill was a gunnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mate First Class on the U. S. S. Sims and the Mine Sweeper 443. He was service in both the Atlantic and Pacific during his three years and five months in the service.

NR.otes of Interest D. F

by ish If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been paying attention to this newspaper over the past few years, you may have noticed something missing this year: writings by school children through the Newspapers In Education program. One reason for this is the newspaper did not find a sponsor for the weekly feature before the beginning of the 2015-16 school year. Local businesses sponsored the program in past years, paying for the space for the studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; writings, as well as for copies of each weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newspaper to be distributed free to the participating classrooms. Some teachers have continued to receive those free copies for their classes anyway. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s free distribution has been a gift from the newspaper. But another cause for concern is the shrinking number of teachers who have expressed interest in participating in the NIE program. Only four classrooms - three at St. Paul Lutheran and one at Stover High School - have been taking the Morgan County Press this year. This week, I am devoting this space to asking next yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teachers to sign up for the NIE program. The benefits are great. The cost to the teachers and the school is zero. Of course, that depends on someone else listening in - local advertisers who might be willing to sponsor, or co-sponsor, the space for the childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s writings to be printed in the newspaper, along with an ad to acknowledge

your sponsorship. But back to the teachers. If you know one who might not read this newspaper, please show them this column. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re one of them, please consider: â&#x20AC;˘ Research shows students who use newspapers in the classroom score better on standardized tests, do more reading as adults, are more informed as citizens, and are more engaged in their communities. â&#x20AC;˘ Newspapers in school can provide real-life application to reinforce concepts being taught. â&#x20AC;˘ Newspapers provide the type of â&#x20AC;&#x153;informational textâ&#x20AC;? many classrooms need to raise student interest in non-fiction subjects. â&#x20AC;˘ Newspapers in school can boost childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s civic awareness. â&#x20AC;˘ Introducing the newspaper to young children allows them to learn its value and how to navigate its content. â&#x20AC;˘ Sending newspapers home with students at the end of a unit gives families an opportunity to discuss their school work, and offers parents a chance to model reading habits for their children. The NIE program provides materials students can use at any level of education. Younger children can use headlines to identify letters and sound out words. Photos and cutlines can be cut out and used for art projects. Lower-to-middlegrade students can practice reading skills either by reading aloud or writing news summaries. Middle-to-upper-grade students can model writing assignments on news stories, and learn

March 17, 1966 The anti-litter campaign of community betterment got off to a real good start Sunday afternoon with Scouts from Troop 23 at Stover cleaning the area from the junction of Highways 52 and 135 south to the city limits sign. March 17, 1976 Lanny Geary, a senior at the University of Missouri in Columbia has received his appointment from the Board of Admissions Committee to attend the Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Medical School in the fall. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Wraymond Geary of Stover.

1986 fell three units short of its 55-unit goal last Tuesday. 58 people registered with six of those deferred. There were 11 first-time donors. March 13, 1996 Cookie Carver displayed five lemons she recently harvested from a tree owned by B. J. and Darlene Conner in Ivy Bend. The tree is taken outside in the summer and brought indoors in cold weather. Although the Connerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s have harvested a three pound lemon from the tree in the past, the largest of this crop weighed just under two pounds. March 15, 2006 The city of Stover escaped the damage other area communities received when tornadoes struck Sunday, March 12. Unstable weather conditions in the afternoon and evening hours wrecked havoc to the north in the Green Ridge, Sedalia and Smithton areas and to the south around Gravois Mills during the evening hours.

The newspaper could help high school students create their own publication. I understand how challenging it is to fit any additional element into the already super-complex state requirements for planning units of instruction. But the NIE program offers helpful tools to reward teachers for including newspapers in their classroom, often geared to meet grade level expectations (GLEs). The American Press Institute supplies free materials and cur â&#x20AC;&#x153;We like the produce riculum that teachers can downat G-2-M.â&#x20AC;? load at www.americanpressinstitute.org.

There is also the option to participate in Newspapers In Education Week, with special lesson plans available every year. This is an opportunity to try using only newspapers, and no books, in reading classes for one week. So, teachers, please think about it.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no more urgent business than getting that seal back,â&#x20AC;? Charlie said.

Jesse said, laughing at Charlieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bravado. He slid the seal out of his front, breast pocket and held it before him, spinning it slowly in circles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I plan to melt this baby down and sell the bronze. Make a bit of a fortune.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do that!â&#x20AC;? Charlie cried. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you see? If you melt it down it will be gone forever, and all of you will too! You need that seal to come alive at night. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a magic voodoo spell on it, and without it, all of you â&#x20AC;Ś all of your history will be lost forever!â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Need the seal to come alive?â&#x20AC;? Jesse said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These bones donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need nothinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; but a few high speed train robberies to feel alive. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get along just fine without some voodoo curse if you ask me. And Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be mighty happy to sell the bronze too. Make a little profit to light the pipe and all.â&#x20AC;?

Charlie gritted his teeth. He thought of Tom in his foxhole and Phil on his ship. He thought of the men in the paintings throughout the Capitol, charging forward on horseback, and the pioneer women in their wagons turned west. It was his turn to be brave. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Give me the seal,â&#x20AC;? he demanded. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Son, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re gonna find yourself all tied up in a lasso in short order if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t shut that jabbering hole in the middle of your face.â&#x20AC;? Charlie had almost forgotten that Machk was beside him, when suddenly he felt the air move as the warrior raised his bow and arrow. Just as fast, just as powerfully, Jesse James aimed his silver gun.

Engelbrecht shares game experiences with millions

Morgan County Press, Wednesday, March 16, 2016, Page 6

Blake Engelbrecht of Stover, a second-year computer science major at State Fair Community College in Sedalia, publishes videos of himself playing video games at www.youtube.com/user/WastedIPixelz. His Wasted Pixels channel has more than 6,000 subscribers and has garnered more than 1.3 million total views since it started July 13, 2010. (photo by R. D. Fish) “Variety is the spice of life.” These words head the description of a YouTube channel called Wasted Pixels, created by Blake Englebrecht, 20, of Stover. The description goes on to say, “My name is Blake or Wasted Pixelz. Here you will find gameplay/walkthroughs of various games ranging from Skyrim to Portal to Donkey Kong and anything in between. If that sounds appealing to you then feel free to stay a while and watch a couple videos. If you like what you see, then hit that subscribe button!” As of Thursday, March 10, the number of people who have hit that subscribe button is 6,127. Since Engelbrecht started the channel July 13, 2010, it has racked up 1,326,369 views. In a March 10 interview at the newspaper office in Versailles, Engelbrecht said the channel is “just me playing through games, showing how to complete them,

and things of that nature.” He said it gets approximately 1,000 views a day, or 30,000 views each month. Looking at that in perspective, he added, “It’s a relatively small channel.” “A ton of people make a living off making YouTube videos,” he said. He earns some income from advertisements on the videos - “a decent amount, enough to pay taxes on every year,” he said. Asked why he called his channel Wasted Pixelz, he shrugged and said, “It was kind of silly. I made it when I was 14.” Engelbrecht is now in his second year as a computer science major in the associate degree program at State Fair Community College in Sedalia. He said he plans to enroll in a bachelor degree program after State Fair, but he hasn’t decided where. The emphasis in his studies is programming. While he would

be interested in a career designing computer games, he said, “I am aiming for an IT position. That is more realistic.” As for his interest in computer games, he said, “It’s just a hobby, really. It’s not something I’m striving for, to try to make happen. I recognize it’s probably a long shot.” Engelbrecht got the idea of posting videos of his game play when he was looking for videos about how to complete a certain part of a game he was working on. “I found some videos,” he said. “They were pretty entertaining, and I thought to myself, I could do that myself.” His favorite type of game is known as an open-world RPG (role-play game). One of his favorites is Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, a single-player medieval quest game in which players build up a character and progress through a storyline. “I’ve always liked medieval times,” he said. “That spot in history has always interested me.” There is also a “massively multiplayer online” version of the game, called Elder Scrolls Online. It allows players to interact with each other’s characters in a virtual world. Engelbrecht prefers the single-player version. Besides gaming, making videos, and studying, he also does “random graphic work” for friends, such as designing logos, menus, and “endslate” graphics for their videos. “I have had offers from some game companies to review their games,” he said. “I haven’t done any, because they are usually smaller companies, and their games aren’t very good. I don’t want to bash them, but I do want to tell the truth.” He said he has had no offers from major game designers, yet. “A lot of people nowadays just make games by themselves,” he said. “A lot of the software is so accessible. They’ll reach out to me and want me to play their game.” At the end of the day, it seems Engelbrecht’s YouTube channel is not so much about advertising products, as about sharing his enjoyment of computer games and his tips for beating them.

Heidi Cruz drops in on Lincoln Day dinner

The Morgan County Republican Central Committee’s Friday, March 11 Lincoln Day dinner and fundraiser was already underway when a surprise guest dropped in at the Stover Community Center. Heidi Cruz, the wife of U.S. Senator Ted Cruz, spoke with several local residents before and after making a speech to promote her husband’s candidacy for the Republican presidential nomination. Cruz said her husband is running on three promises: to keep the U.S. safe, to encourage economic growth, and to defend constitutional liberties. “Washington has stopped listening to us,” she said, adding, “Ted will change the system” to make it more accountable and responsive to citizens.” Morgan County Eastern District Commissioner Rodney Schad, a previous District 58 state representative, emceed the dinner, a $15-per-plate fundraiser funding the political action committee to aid Republican candidates in their 2016 races. The serving line was attended by current Republican candidates for county-wide office. District 58 Rep. David Wood introduced keynote speaker Todd Richardson (R-Poplar Bluff), speaker of the Missouri General Assembly. Richardson talked about the current legislature’s unprecedented success passing reform bills, thanks in part to the largest Republican majority in both houses in state history. Schad noted the Morgan County event is one of only two Lincoln Day events Richardson attended this year, the other being in his home district. Among county officials not running for office this year, Circuit Judge Kenneth Hayden spoke briefly about efforts to persuade the legislature to fund a third judge for the 26th judicial circuit, which currently has two judges serving five counties. Federal races Wood spoke on behalf of U.S. Senator Roy Blunt, who is running for re-election. After reading a statement from Blunt, Wood observed Republicans elected to Congress “stay in contact with

the people they represent. The Democrats get elected and shut the door.” John Webb of Cass County, a former police officer and longtime business owner, spoke about his own candidacy for U.S. Representative for Missouri’s fourth district. Webb described himself as a “Christian consitutional conservative” and said if elected he will be a member of the conservative Freedom Caucus in Washington. “I am that conservative,” he said. He will challenge incumbent Rep. Vicki Hartzler in the Tuesday, Aug. 2 primary. Steve Walsh, a representative of Hartzler’s campaign, spoke for the congresswoman, who was attending Republican gatherings that night in Vernon and Dallas counties. Regardless of how the vote goes in the Tuesday, March 15 presidential preference primary, Walsh said, “We have to come together. We cannot have President Hillary Clinton!” Statewide races A representative for Catherine Hanaway, a candidate for governor of Missouri, talked about Hanaway’s experience as a federal prosecutor who fought for pro-life values, the right to bear arms, and states’ rights in some 4,000 cases. A representative of Lt. Gov. Peter Kinder’s campaign for governor noted Kinder is the only current candidate who has won a statewide race. An enthusiastic student from the University of Missouri promoted Eric Greitens as a candidate for governor. He noted Greitens, after serving the U.S. in the military, started The Mission Continues, a non-profit organization to provide veterans privatesector job training and ease their transition back to civilian life. Bev Randles, a candidate for the Republican nod for lieutenant governor, told how she became a conservative as a schoolgirl during the Reagan administration. She said Reagan’s message of freedom, equality, and opportunity were the same message she heard from her parents at home. Randles has never run for public office before, but she has chaired the state’s largest eco-

nomic political action committee, and her law firm’s suit about IRS persecution of Tea Party organizations is now the first class action lawsuit against the IRS. Schad read a letter from State Sen. Mike Parson, promoting his run for the lieutenant governor nomination. A representative of State Sen. Will Kraus promoted his campaign for the Republican nomination for Missouri secretary of state. He described Kraus is a military veteran who will fight for the integrity of state elections. A representative of Jay Ashcroft’s campaign for secretary of state noted Ashcroft’s credentials as an attorney who works in the data protection business. He said Ashcroft’s priorities will be to combat vote fraud, fight for fair ballot language, and promote a regulatory climate that helps businesses grow. State Senator Kurt Schaefer spoke about his own candidacy for state attorney general. He reported how, as a senator, he helped pass a resolution to protect religious freedom, such as the right of a wedding-related business to refuse to participate in a wedding ceremony based on a religious objection, in spite of a 48-hour filibuster by Democratic members of the senate. Schaefer described his background as a death-penalty prosecutor, noting a candidate for attorney general should have experience prosecuting cases. He also mentioned his endorsement by the Missouri Troopers Association and his activities as chair of the senate’s Sanctity of Life Committee. Schaefer challenged Republicans to imagine the difference it would make to have a Republican attorney general for the first time in 24 years. Daniel Hartman spoke on behalf of attorney general candidate Josh Hawley, who faces Schaefer in the Aug. 2 primary. Hartman noted Hawley’s experience as a federal lawyer, litigating important constitutional cases, including eight Supreme Court cases. Hawley’s record is 2-0 against President Obama’s solicitor

Heidi Cruz, left, the wife of Republican presidential hopeful U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, made a surprise appearance at the Friday, March 11 Lincoln Day dinner fundraiser for the Morgan County Republican Central Committee. She delivered a speech promoting her husband’s candidacy and chatted with several local residents, including Fred Lohman, right. (photo by R. D. Fish) general, including the Burwell v. Hobby Lobby case in which the administration argued first amendment protections do not apply to business owners. Mike Staton of McGirk, near California, spoke about his own campaign for District 58 State Representative. Staton is challenging incumbent Wood in the Aug. 2 primary. Wood defended his record, comparing the promises made on his campaign push card from 2012 to his promises kept, including his promise to be a full-time, year-round representative who stays in touch with the people he represents. He also noted his leadership and accomplishments relating to education; health, mental health, and social services; and trade and tourism. Countywide races Three candidates for Morgan County Sheriff briefly introduced themselves. Mike Nienhuis noted this year’s ballot questions will include the ques-

tion whether to renew the county’s Law Enforcement Sales Tax. He explained the LEST supports all law-enforcement agencies in Morgan County and helps keep the county jail solvent. Norman Dills and Kendall Conklin introduced themselves as Nienhuis’ primary challengers. All three have experience as local police officers and county deputies. Nancy Cable, one of two women in Morgan County by that name, spoke about her candidacy for Eastern District commissioner. A business owner who has experienced the impact of road maintenance on her supply chain and sales, she said she hopes to work effectively to improve the county’s roads. Schad, who faces Cable in the Aug. 2 primary, said he wants to continue serving. Recalling his 12 years as a commissioner, he noted he helped pass four balanced budgets in the last four years.

Ryan Hoffa, currently a deputy with the Morgan County Sheriff’s Office and a member of the Stover City Council, spoke about his candidacy for Western District commissioner. Running against Hoffa in the Aug. 2 primary is Jeff Nolting, who owns a construction business and an Angus cow herd. He noted his experience as a member of the county’s Republican Central Committee and his 21 years on the Otterville School Board. Currently running unopposed in the Aug. 2 primary, Colleen Richey introduced herself as a candidate for county assessor. Also unopposed so far, incumbent county public administrator Amanda Huffmann said she likes her job and asked party members for their vote. The evening concluded with an auction officiated by Nolting, to raise funds for the political action committee to help candidates with their campaign.
