R-I music program delivers ‘fun, fun, fun’ Students from kindergarten through 12th grade showed musical talent and provided Christmas-themed entertainment during the Morgan County R-I School winter concert Thursday, Dec. 15 in the Stover High School gymnasium. The concert opened with the overflow crowd invited to join in singing “The Star-Spangled Banner,” followed by a poem about proper concert behavior, recited by eight elementaryschool students. Elementary music teacher Clint Kincaid used a handclapping game to admonish the audience to quiet down several times during the K-5 part of the program, which he conducted. Kindergarten students sang “Little Snowflake” and “We Wish You a Merry Christmas,” with emphatic hand gestures. First-graders sang “Let’s Sing a Carol” and “Rudolph the RedNosed Reindeer.” Second-grad-
ers sang “Decorate a Christmas Tree” and “Away in a Manger.” Third-graders sang “O Little Town of Bethlehem,” then delivered an energetic “Twelve Days of Christmas,” with the aid of numbered illustrations painted by elementary art teacher Jennifer Avey. The fourth-grade class sang “The First Noel,” then played the Christmas carol “Fum, Fum, Fum” on recorders. Fifth-graders sang “We Three Kings” and “Silent Night.” Kincaid took his final bow after leading the sixth-grade choir in “Always Believe” and “Joy to the World.” He noted the sixthgraders were allowed to choose between participating in choir or band. Junior high and high school music director Caitlin Bird took over with the sixth-grade band, which rivals the high school band for size only a year after being revived. The band played
“Jingle Bells” by J.S. Pierpont and the traditional Hanukkah song “My Dreydl.” The combined junior high and high school choirs opened the concert for grades 7-12 with the song “Why We Sing” by Greg Gilpin. The junior high choir sang Frederick Silver’s spoof carol “The Twelve Days After Christmas,” Audrey Snyder’s arrangement of “Do You Hear What I Hear?” and Gilpin’s “Fun, Fun, Fun,” a modern spin on “Fum, Fum, Fum.” The 7th-12th grade band marched into the gymnasium while playing its Stover Christmas Parade piece, “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree,” arranged by Jerry Burns. The band sat down to play “Up on the Housetop,” arranged by Jerry Nowak, and a medley of traditional Christmas carols. They finished with a theme from
Classes were canceled Friday, Dec. 16 at Morgan County R-I School, due to inclement weather and unsafe road conditions. The closing put an end to the homecoming spirit week festivities, which were to include a parade through the hallways of Stover High School. When sleet and ice continued to accumulate on roads Friday afternoon, MCR-I Superintendent Matt Unger also decided to cancel the homecoming basketball games against Northwest High School, along with the cor-
onation of the homecoming king and queen and the homecoming dance scheduled that evening. Unger said a make-up game would be scheduled, probably in January. A qualifier meet the Stover High School robotics club was to attend Saturday, Dec. 17 in Camdenton was also canceled due to winter conditions. The Stover Police Department postponed its Shop with a Cop event planned Saturday evening, Dec. 17 at Walmart in Versailles, until further notice.
The Stover Fair Board Tuesday, Dec. 13 considered a suggestion by guest Dale Whitesell to include an antique garden tractor show at the Stover Fair. The board responded positively to the idea, and directed Whitesell to gauge how much interest there would be in participating, as well as interest in displaying larger tractors. This information would help the board decide where to display the tractors in the park. For the 2017 fair, the plan is to have a tractor display only. If there is enough interest, it may be developed into a contest in future years. Whitesell also confirmed he will again make a knife this year for the fair board to raffle off as a fundraiser. Carnival expansion It was reported initial surveying was done for expanding the carnival area. Dirt work at the
park will take place after the Christmas lighting display is removed. A second estimate for materials to repair the stage roof and siding was received, and will be reviewed with the Stover Park Board. Queen contest The fair board discussed reviving the Stover Fair Queen contest, which used to be presented by the Stover Chamber of Commerce. The board agreed it wanted to see the contest return, but it needs an individual or club to take the lead on it. Anyone interested in helping may call Marty Weber at 573-377-2555, or bring a proposal to the next fair board meeting. New Year’s Eve bash The board reviewed preparations for the New Year’s Eve Bash Saturday, Dec. 31 at the Stover Community Center.
Weather scrubs events
Antonin Dvorak’s “New World Symphony,” accompanied by Bird at the piano. The high school choir sang Mark Brymer’s arrangements of “Sleigh Ride” and “Soldier,” a piece it had performed during the school’s Friday, Nov. 11 Veterans Day assembly. The choir continued its tribute to U.S. armed forces by singing “I’ll Be Home for Christmas,” arranged by Ed Lojeski, and a candlelight rendition of “Silent Night.” Choir members then handed out roses to service members in the audience. The concert finale was “Sing Ding-a Ding-a Dong” by Lynn Shaw Bailey. The 7th-12th grade choir pieces were accompanied by pianist Dena Dean. During the concert, Bird recognized this year’s graduating seniors Sam DeJaynes and Winter Hammond.

There was a food, clothing, and toy giveaway Wednesday, Dec. 14 at Morgan County R-I School in Stover. Local families had the opportunity to take home boxes of groceries, shoes, books, and other Christmas gifts.

NR.otes of Interest D. F by ish After attending worship Sunday morning, Dec. 18 at my home church, I cruised the streets of Stover, looking for a good excuse to shoot photos of the snow. In the newspaper world, that means a photo with people in it, such as children sliding down a hill or building a snowman, a plow clearing a street, or someone shoveling a driveway. Alas, I seemed to have cruised too late to capture that kind of action. Instead, I saw a lot of fairly well cleared streets, and a winter wonderland most folks in town seemed only too happy to admire from the warm indoors. Oddly enough, my disappointing search for photos gave me an idea to fill the void in my weekly column-writing plans, left by the weather cancellation of the homecoming parade, games and dance, the robotics club meet, and Shop with a Cop. This robbed me of three out of my top four choices for what to write about - the fourth being the Morgan County R-I School winter concert, which actually took place Thursday, Dec. 15. The only thing I had to say about that, however, was that the kids sounded really good, and while elementary music teacher Clint Kincaid’s crowd-control strategy (roughly, “When I clap twice, you clap twice and quiet down”) reportedly came across
to some people as condescending, it more or less worked. A lot of credit has to go to the teachers and school staff who shepherded the K-6 kids on and off the stage. That they were able to move that many small bodies without tragi-comic chaos breaking out is a Christmas miracle. For my money (ha, ha) the highlight of the concert was the third-graders singing “The Twelve Days of Christmas,” with visual aids painted by elementary art teacher Jennifer Avey. For the few who stuck around to watch the junior high/high school program, there was a lighthearted sequel called “The Twelve Days After Christmas.” But back to the empty whiteness of Sunday in Stover. What I would have loved to see is more kids playing outside. I know, this is selfishness on my part. They were safer and warmer indoors. Or maybe my timing was off. But the thought that came to me, like a pile of snow sliding off a rooftop, was that we just need a bigger repertoire of games to play in the snow. Here are some ideas: • Snow-basketball: Similar to “H-O-R-S-E,” only you have to sink snowballs through the net. Clumps that break up against the backboard (or worse, stick) don’t count; and to make it extra festive, you have to hit enough goals to spell “R-E-I-N-D-E-E-R.”
• Snow Sculpture: Groups compete to turn heaps of plowed snow at the street corners on Second Street into works of art. • Snow Rumble: Kids divide up by neighborhood and have until 2 p.m. to amass an arsenal of snowballs (no rocks allowed!). Then, in full winter protective gear, they haul their weapons by toy wagon or sled to the park, form battle-lines, and launch their artillery at each other until one side concedes defeat... or they agree to fight another day. • Snow Angel Contest: What patterns can you imprint on the snowy ground? • Snow Trivia: Answer 10 questions, win a prize. Miss one, get a bucket of snow dumped on your head. • Snow Scavenger Hunt: Someone hides six items where kids have to dig in the snow to find them, racing to be the first child or team to complete a list of all six buried treasures. Ideas like these might give kids a place to be noisy during snowy weekends and school closures, other than in the house. Then maybe “clap-clap” could become the signal to come home, red-nosed and winded, for a mug of cocoa and a change of socks.
December 18, 1936 Because of the shortness of the days and quite a lot of business, the Happy Homemakers Club will have an all-day meeting at the home of Mrs. J. E. Dill Friday, Dec. 18. The meeting will be called to order 10:30 a.m. All members are urged to be present. Sunshine pals are to be revealed. Bring a present for your pal and a covered dish for the luncheon. The leader is Mrs. L. V. Williams, and the devotional by Mrs. Paul Wilson. Miss Zagrodsky will be with us. Roll call to be answered by giving a favorite Christmas recipe. Also, have a story, poem or reading about Christmas. December 20, 1946 Every boy and girl of Stover and vicinity will receive a gift from Stover’s Osage Theatre Saturday of this week, Dec. 21. This gift will be a free ticket to the Osage 1:30 p.m. the afternoon of Saturday. This is Mr. Krull’s Christmas gift to the community. Mr. Krull wants every child who comes to Stover that afternoon to enjoy this free show, and in order that everyone will have a free ticket without having to ask for it at the theatre, he is making it possible for children to clip tickets from this issue of the
Tri-County Republican. December 20, 1956 Born to Mr. and Mrs. Nathaniel L. Kraxberger Dec. 13, a son weighing 7-1/2 pounds. Nathaniel is the youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. F. J. Kraxberger of Stover. His wife is the former Miss Eunice Fischer of Sweet Springs. The boy has been named Gregory Paul. December 22, 1966 Stover’s new scout Explorer Post 23 for boys 14 to 18 years of age is now a reality. The Explorer program is designed to give the older boys of the community a chance to participate in rugged outdoor activities such as canoe trips, survival camp outs, and hunting outings. Kenneth Rowland, George Harry, and Forrest Rowland will be the 1967 advisors to the boys of Stover’s Post 23. December 22, 1976 The Country Homemakers Club met Wednesday with Mrs. Gene Page with a contributed dinner at noon. Mrs. Dale Montgomery presided over the business meeting and roll call was answers with “Who I Think My Secret Pal Was.” Christmas gifts were presented and boxes of fruit and goodies were fixed to take to Head Start and the Children’s
Workshop in Sedalia. December 17, 1986 Stephanie Raines, representing the senior class, was crowned Homecoming Queen Friday night during homecoming festivities at the Stover High School. Raines is the daughter of Thomas Raines and Kay Walters and was escorted by Richard Goetze, son of Mr. and Mrs. Jim Goetze. Crowning the new queen was the 1985-86 Homecoming Queen Vicki Ringen, escorted by Monty Miller. December 18, 1996 Girl Scout members Katie White, Mary Ellen Smith, Heather Wagner, Kayla Greathouse, and Angela Smith recently delivered donated canned goods collected during Thanksgiving break to the Stover Ministerial Alliance food pantry. December 20, 2006 Bob Mackie, owner of the Extra Point Restaurant, showed his Christmas spirit at the 25th Annual Community Appreciation Dinner Tuesday, Dec. 12 at the Extra Point. Approximately 300 guests were served at the free meal and tips amounting to approximately $300 were divided evenly between Stover Animal Shelter and the Morgan County R-I music department.

Library Bookworm
by Stacey Embry, Director, Morgan County Library This week, I want to share what’s been going on at the library. I share big events weekly, but this week I want to concentrate on the little moments. Wednesday, we had our first youth book discussion. We had one young lady show up 30 minutes before we were supposed to start, a sharp contrast with the other young lady we grabbed off the computer. I love that both girls came to our book discussion on totally different paths; that variety is what makes book discussion so great. Two totally different girls, we discovered share a love for one author, Mary Downing Hahn. It was so fun to listen to their excitement about the different books they like. It was equally interesting to hear about the books they did not enjoy. Pre-teens are making a transition. They want to be their own people. Sometimes that means they might not be receptive to what their parents or teachers (read “old” people) want them to read. With that said, sometimes they are pleasantly surprised. So, don’t despair “old” people. Sometimes we come from different paths, but can still find common ground.

Lady Bulldogs drop conference opener 50-48 at Otterville The Stover Lady Bulldogs came up short in their Kaysinger Conference opener, falling to Otterville, 50-48, Tuesday, Dec. 13 at Otterville. The Lady Eagles drained five three-point field goals and held a 15-8 lead after the first quarter. The Lady Bulldogs closed the gap to four at halftime with some buckets in the lane on penetrations and a Shelby Jackson three-pointer. “However, we ended the half with a turnover and a foul which led to two extra points for them,” coach Ernie Haag said. “We need to improve our decision making in those situations.” Jenna Bellis had two consecutive steals and layups to start the third quarter that enabled Stover to tie the game. Otterville’s Abby Nichols then proceeded to score 12 of her game-high 21 points during the third quarter and the Lady Eagles regained the lead. “We didn’t adjust defensively to their offensive changes and we just did not rebound,” Haag said. “We knew that could be our Achilles heel and once again we just got beat badly on the boards.” Stover trailed by nine points with 3:12 left in the game and
put on a furious rally that came up just short. “I was proud of the way the kids fought and didn’t give up,” Haag said. “Most teams would have just let the defeat happen but these girls, especially our seniors, down the stretch stepped it up; it was just a little late. We continue to play hard and continue to fight, we just need that boost of confidence and sustain that effort for all four quarters. I hope our fans don’t lose faith in this bunch of kids; they are fighting every day to get better. Their efforts are heading them in the right direction.” Jackson led the way for the Lady Bulldogs with 20 points and eight rebounds. Morgan Iman had 10 points and 12 rebounds. Ashley Schroder scored 10 points and had four assists. Bellis finished with four points and Matty Hinck and Emily Bauer scored two points each.

28-17 halftime lead. “The key to this win was our ability to rebound and push the ball up the floor,” Haag said. “We ran their big players down so they got tired and we got good shots in transition. We also shot the ball well, going 42 percent from the field.” Lake of the Ozarks Haag also noted the Lady Horseshoe Club Bulldogs had an assist on all but two field goals scored, “which Monday Night means weDOING did a great job WE of SAY WHAT SINCE 1935.

Merry Christmas from Morgan County Press
by Sharon Tausch It has been said there is something “magical” about Christmas. Certain pieces of this “magic” can be found in the beauty of bright lights on decorated trees, in a cup of warm apple cider, or in the sound of carolers under a streetlamp. The joy of Christmas is shared in many ways, but according to Mark Stevens of Stover, the “real” magic is in the sparkle of a child’s eyes looking up from “Santa’s” lap while what-I-wantfor-Christmas wishes are told to the jolly man in the big red suit. Playing Santa Claus during the annual Stover Christmas Parade is a pleasure Stevens has enjoyed each December for the past 20 years; but for next year’s 2017
parade, according to Stevens, he will be passing his Santa’s hat and suit to someone who is “a little bit younger.” As for the beard, he says the mass of white whiskers will have to stay where it is – on the lower part of his face. Stevens always took his role of playing Santa seriously, and began growing his beard in late summer before the arrival of Labor Day so that it would be “nice and fluffy” by Christmas. He has always been careful, however, to shave it off the day after the parade to keep the children from recognizing him out in public. “One of the most fun things about playing Santa with a real beard is when a child reaches up with his little hand,
tries to pull it down, and finds it doesn’t come off. It hurts a little bit,” Stevens says. “But, it is fun to watch the facial expressions of the kids and other people in the crowd.” While playing Santa may be fun, Stevens says it is also somewhat challenging and takes some thought in regard to different ways to relate to the children who can’t wait to sit on Santa’s lap and spill out all those Christmas wishes. He says he has learned to say, “Santa will try to get that for you,” rather than saying “Okay, have a Merry Christmas,” and then letting the child down off his lap thinking Santa would definitely be bringing them what they wanted. He says he has also learned to strategize his answers and comments in regard to each child/Santa discussion. “I ask them their names, and what they want Santa to bring them; but, I learned early on to be ready with a creative answer.” Stevens’ said. “I remember asking one little boy what he wanted for Christmas. He looked at me wide-eyed and said, ‘Didn’t you get my letter?’ So, I said, ‘Well, sure I got your letter. I just thought you might have changed your mind or wanted to add something to the list.’” Some lists are short, and some are long, but Stevens says no child seems to tire from standing in line to talk to Santa. This year’s parade and Christmas celebration at the Stover Lions Club building drew approximately 100 kids to see Santa, according to Stevens, who says he enjoys visiting with all of them and handing out candy. In addition to Stevens handing out the children’s treats, Brenda Steffens, librarian at Morgan County R-I, assists Stevens by adding a small children’s book to each child’s sack of Christmas goodies. This way, according to Stevens, the children get candy and a present that’s both entertaining and educational.
Merryristmas Ch
Stevens says he is aware that parents have different ideas when it comes to educating their children to the true meaning of Christmas. He realizes that some view the belief in Santa Claus as fantasy, having nothing to do with the birth of Christ, while others view Santa merely as a fun addition to the gift-giving and receiving process. While Stevens acknowledges the belief in Santa as fantasy, he also points out that a young child’s life is filled with fantasy in other forms, such as traditional fairy tales and animated movies, all of which serve to teach children life values from the perspective of entertainment. “The Wizard of Oz, Peter Pan, and many other movies and stories are full of fantasy, but they also teach children to focus on hope, sharing, and other valuable assets of life,” according to Stevens. He says the belief in Santa lasts for maybe three years of a child’s life before he learns the truth, usually from an older brother or sister, another child at school, or from another reality source; but, “those three years provide a lot of fun for children and their parents.” Stevens says he would not have wanted to rob his children (Melissa, Melanie, and Matt) of the excitement of going to bed on Christmas Eve having only one or two presents under the tree, and then waking up Christmas morning to find additional presents brought by “Santa.”
He also would not want to rob himself of the pleasure of watching them, which is one reason he has enjoyed playing Santa year after year. “There’s always a new and meaningful experience, but there are also repeated experiences, such as when the kids who once sat on my lap and told me their wishes started bringing their children to see me,” Stevens said. “I also have gotten letters to Santa from kids whose parents brought me letters when they were kids.” Stevens says his role of playing Santa during the past 20 years has brought him much joy, but that the job of keeping Santa’s true identity and preserving the revered red suit is sometimes challenging. According to Stevens, the purchase of a new Santa suit each year could become rather costly. Therefore, one who participates annually playing the man in the big red suit needs to take proper care of his one-garment wardrobe. “Keeping the suit in good shape can create some fun and tricky situations, such as the time Vi Dale’s grandchildren visited her quilting shop and found my Santa suit being repaired,” Stevens said. They were little enough to think it was really neat that their grandma had Santa’s ‘suit’ at her shop.” Stevens has worn his Santa suit for 20 consecutive Christmas parades in Stover. However,
he served an earlier three-year stint at the Westminster Presbyterian Church in Versailles when he was a teenager. He said that was his first holiday acting experience. He says some of the church members were surprised someone so young would want to play Santa Claus. To him, it seemed like natural materialization into a world of promise and gift giving. Even though he had hung up his suit for more than a decade, he never forgot the feeling of magic every time he wore it, and didn’t hesitate to put it back on whenever the opportunity would arrive. Stevens has enjoyed many magical moments as the man in the big red suit, but he now feels the time has come for him to pass his Santa’s hat to someone a little younger. Next year, when the Stover fire truck rolls stately through the streets of Stover during the annual Christmas parade, it will be carrying a new Santa. “Hopefully,” Stevens said, “it will be the person whom I have asked to take over for me, but who has not, as of yet, officially said ‘yes.’” Stevens, nonetheless, is looking forward to standing on a sidewalk in downtown Stover at Christmas time 2017, clean shaven and casually dressed among parents, grandparents, and wideeyed children as Stover’s annual dosage of Christmas magic is brought back into town for another season of joy.
