A ‘hay mazing’ experience

Two bus loads of kindergarten students from Morgan County R-II schools went on an autumn field trip Friday, Oct. 21 to Prairie’s End Pumpkin Patch north of Cole Camp off Highway 65. Part of the fun was a hay bale maze. Making their way through the maze are, from left, Nevaeh Porter, Aiden Vera, Ashlynn Berve, and Davarias Burrow. The annual fall trip also included hay rides, a super tall gunnysack slide, barrel train rides, a “swim” in a stock tank full of corn, tricycle races, a giant “spider web” rope, huge tires, and more.

‘Christmas on the Square’ is Dec. 3; Library looks at collection, parking Chamber reviews apple fest, circus

The Versailles Area Chamber of Commerce board of directors Monday, Oct. 17 reviewed the 2016 Olde Tyme Apple FestivalTM and determined there were no major issues. A few adjustments, however, are being considered for next year’s festival. The fiddling contest has been located inside the Royal Theatre for several years, but an alternative location is being explored for future contests. Another adjustment expressed by the board is the need for more shuttle drivers and to place them on rotating schedule. A rotating scheduled will allow drivers to take breaks. Tires on all the shuttles will also need to be replaced. The parade line-up will have to be moved next year, as per the Missouri Department of Transportation, in order to facilitate access to Highway 5 south.

More electrical access is needed behind Hubbard-Kavanaugh and behind city hall. More outlets will be added in limited number each year until adequate. Mid-America Ice has agreed to provide ice to vendors for $150 plus $1 per bag. Portable toilet locations will need to be expanded, with two more at the car show in the city park, and adding units at the parade staging area and by the shuttle stop on Krekel. There were a few issues reported with parking and some vendors had parked in handicap spots. Overall, the board reported they heard a lot of positive feedback about the apple festival and the weather was cooperative. Brice Lake has agreed to serve as the apple festival chairman next year, regardless if he’s serv-

The Morgan County Library Board of Trustees Thursday, Oct. 13 reviewed and approved several policy updates and programs, including policies relating to the library’s collection and parking. Collection Development A Collection Development Policy was approved by the trustees. The policy outlines how the library acquires, maintains and “weeds” materials. The policy states, in part, “The Morgan County Library endeavors to maintain a collection of good, representative books of permanent value and current interest. Principles subscribed to in the selection of books and the building of the book collection are contained in the American Library Association’s statements, “The Library Bill of Rights” and “The Freedom to Read.” The materials the library has in its collection are selected for all ages by the library director according to ALA general guidelines and after reviews, consultation of book lists, the library’s need for the book in the collection, and consideration of the community’s “interest, reading tastes, and educational level.” The weeding out of material is based on the following: Age of the item, length of time since the last circulation transaction, misleading content, worn appearance, being superseded by newer or better material, trivial value or irrelevant to community needs, easily available elsewhere It was noted in the collection policy that items donated or purchased with memorial funds will be subject to the same selection criteria as the rest of the collec-

tion. Patrons can make request for materials. These request will be reviewed by the director in accordance with the general policy. Parking Lot Policy The Morgan County Library welcomes everyone who is using the library or attending a library program to park in the library’s parking lot. Parking is reserved for library patrons and employees. Parking is allowed within the lined spaces only and no parking is allowed in handicapped spaces without a valid permit.

Uptegrove transforms cuddly to creepy with dolls Versailles Leader-Statesman, Thursday, October 27, 2016, Page 2

by Sharon Tausch Staring out through blank eyes set in scary faces framed in disheveled tresses, creepy dolls have claimed a distinctive role in society throughout the ages. These chilling playthings look down at children from shelves in toy stores, appear in movies, and are used as props in haunted houses and front porch decorations at Halloween. There is something about a “creepy” doll that taps into the human fear factor; thus, bringing nightmares to horror movie fans and causing trick-or-treat travelers to steer clear of the tiny blood-spattered, green-faced figures sitting on lawns and porches among pumpkins, mums, and hay bales. For Stover resident Lisa Uptegrove, creating these creepy little creatures has become an art form. She is likely, even as this story is being written, sitting in her workshop dressing a porcelain or resin doll in tattered

vintage clothing and painting acrylic blood spots and scars on its face with a camel hair brush. Uptegrove and her husband Micah are the parents of five children, Micah Tyler, 26; Kaylee, 23; Mallory, 19; Makenna, 16; and Abby, 14 - all of whom have their own unique interests in regard to holiday events, which is how she fell into the creepy doll craze last Halloween while helping her children create a “Haunted Hallway” at her mother’s real estate office in Stover. “Holidays are family affairs for us,” Uptegrove says, “and Halloween is no exception. Our kids enjoyed trick or treating so much over the years that even when the older ones thought they were too old to carry sacks for candy, they would still dress up and take the younger ones on their candy routes.” The Haunted Hallway was a way for the Uptegrove family and friends to keep their traditional fall holiday event go-

ing as the children outgrew their trick-or-treating stages. That was when the creepy doll idea was born at the suggestion of one of the children. Uptegrove says she cannot remember which daughter it was, but one of them said, “Mom! Make us some creepy dolls for the hallway!” Having always leaned toward being artistic, Uptegrove said the idea of making creepy dolls sounded fun to her. “I starting searching the internet for images of creepy dolls, and found hundreds of them, from Victorian porcelains to zombies. I bought a couple of cans of spray paint, lace trimmings, paint brushes and other items I would need, went home and made my first doll.” Uptegrove said she was amazed people sold these dolls on the internet. What was more amazing, was that some of the people who bought them had extensive collections of creepy, as well as other styles of dolls.

A menagerie of creepy dolls created by Lisa Uptegrove are ready for Halloween.

Some were beautiful porcelain models dressed in satins and silks, while others were gory creations in blood-soaked rags. “Hmmmm…”she thought. “Maybe I could sell my dolls.” Uptegrove soon found out that gathering supplies to make her little scary creatures could be time consuming. She spent hours scouting flea markets and garage sales for any kind of doll she could find, often not knowing how she would later recycle it. It wasn’t long, however, before she had collected enough materials to create a menagerie of creepy little personalities. “I just kept making doll after doll,” Uptegrove says, “But even upon my children seeing the very first doll, which one of them had actually requested I make, they did not want it in the house. I came home one day and found the doll I left in the living room was no longer there. They had gotten ‘creeped out’ and moved it to another room.” That’s when Uptegrove says she knew she was onto something. “I figured if I could scare my own children who are all hard to impress, I had achieved my goal of creating a product others would want.” The dolls, having been issued a “ban order” from the living room, Uptegrove decided she needed to create her own private workspace. So, she cleared out an area in her barn, where she stores other items she likes to sell online. From her new location, she was free to delve deeper into her newly-found craft. She since has created creepy bride dolls, creepy baby dolls, and even zombie dolls, which have become her best online sellers. Uptegrove says she prefers not to allow her creative juices to flow toward the direction of the gory eye-gouging images of some she has found on the in-

She says it is her intent to amuse others, not frighten them. When asked if she, herself, ever gets a little “creeped out” while working on her craft, her answer was, “No, it’s just an art form, and it’s fun to up-cycle old dolls that might otherwise be thrown away or wind up sitting in someone’s attic.” Uptegrove says even though enjoys the creation of these dolls for others, she has no desire to start a collection of her own, or even keep any of the dolls she makes. Creative people find that one idea often leads to another. Therefore, in addition to many other creative outlets Uptegrove enjoys, the creation of her unique dolls has led her toward making other Halloween props, such as tombstones from insulation board onto which she spraypaints and carves funny RIP messages.

On a more domestic level, she also makes decorative interior plaques and signs to enhance various tastes in household decor. She says this new venture seems to have augmented her artistic ability even in other areas such as painting and mixing colors, buffing, and even the refurbishing of old furniture. It has been a year since Uptegrove first ventured into the creepy doll scene, and as another Halloween night approaches, she and other creative creepy doll artisans in various parts of the world are constructing various little ghouly individuals expected to do their best to amuse trick-ortreat patrons and haunted house guests during the scariest night of the year. Uptegrove says she has no idea how long the creepy doll scene will last; but, at the risk of people thinking she might be a little weird, she plans to enjoy it while she can, and then move on to her next artistic endeavor.

Members of Students Against Destructive Decisions (SADD) at Versailles High School have joined other Missouri high schools in the IT ONLY TAKES ONE campaign to help students, staff, and the public understand the dangers of unsafe driving habits. According to SADD sponsor Donna Chapman with Morgan County CLEAR (Community Leaders Educating About Resistance), the community-wide IT ONLY TAKES ONE campaign was designed to educate Missouri teens about the distractions they encounter behind the wheel and the importance of buckling a seat belt. Chapman reminds people distraction is the primary reason car

crashes remain the number-one killer of teens. This is why the core message of the campaign is, “Drive Responsibly. There’s only ONE you.” To take part in this campaign, schools had to register in the fall. Students and advisors are carrying this message out into the community – with posters, belt checks, Graduated Driver License Law information, adult/ teen driving contracts, and other materials that can spark conversation between teens and adults about safe driving practices. For the first activity at Versailles High School, students had the first seat belt check Wednesday, Oct. 19 at the entrances to the high school. It was reported 142 youth arrived by vehicles

other than a school bus. Of those, 89 percent were wearing seat belts. “We are extremely proud that so many of our students wear seat belts,” Chapman said. “Additional seat belt checks will be held throughout the year. Through our activities this school year, we hope to reach our goal for 100-percent of youth to be buckled up.” The IT ONLY TAKES ONE campaign has been made possible by grants and partnerships with the Missouri Coalition for Roadway Safety, ACT Missouri, American Family Insurance, Midwest Trauma Society, and the Missouri College of Emergency Physicians.

by Janet Dabbs Citizen Misty Maeder questioned the Rocky Mount Fire Protection District, RMFPD, Board of Trustees about requirements for portable buildings at a district public information forum Wednesday, Oct. 12 at Station No. 1. Maeder asked what type of inspections were required when hooking electricity to a building. Fire Chief Kevin Hurtubise explained that if the building is left as ordered, no inspections were required, however if electricity, plumbing, and/or septic are added, then inspections would be required. Maeder stated that she had called Ameren Missouri and was told no inspection was required as Morgan County had no ordinances. Maeder also stated that she did not believe the fire department could tell someone if they could or could not live in these types of buildings. Hurtubise replied that the department had no intention of telling someone whether or not they can live in a building. However, if a person planned to make a portable building their dwelling, the citizen needed to be aware of what the department considers a residential dwelling so they can be sure to include proper footings and snow loads. Maeder said she was getting a

portable building placed on her property and she can do whatever she wants on her personal property. Citizen Sandy Cramer stated that she had received a letter releasing her from the fire department and she was frustrated that no one from the department had talked to her before sending the letter. Cramer also expressed her surprise at receiving a check for unpaid calls and meetings during 2012 and she questioned how the board arrived at the amount she was paid. Hurtubise said the discrepancy was discovered during the audit, and the auditor and board made a recommendation to pay the firefighters who had been underpaid. Citizen Darrell Massey expressed his frustration that the board was only trying to fix an area where firefighters may not have been treated fairly. Massey was also frustrated that, in his opinion, the public and volunteers are not happy with the board’s decisions. Citizen Mary Lea Wright stated that at a previous meeting Hurtubise had reported on the cost of the aerial ladder truck and she was wondering if he had compiled a final figure. Hurtubise stated he had not found all invoices. However, as of the meeting, a total of $25,276.91 had been put into the truck for materials and

there were no labor costs. Wright also asked about the intercom system. Hurtubise stated they were still working on that issue. He estimated the cost to add the system was $2,600. Wright also asked about the water supply truck the department received from the conversation department. Hurtubise described what and how the water supply truck was used. He also reported the department has invested $5,000 in materials and he expected an additional $3,000 will be needed. Massey reported he observed a firefighter completion and he was impressed at the amount of equipment the firefighter puts on to do their job. He stated that he had always appreciated their duties, but had never fully realized what the firefighter actually does. He thanked all the firefighters. The Firefighters Benevolent Association, presented their financial statement, showing $9,227 in checking and $10,868.63 in the fireman’s fund. The Sweet Corn Festival had a net profit of $9,083.33 which will pay for three handheld thermal imaging cameras and three truckmounted chargers, for a total of $5,970. The next public information forum is scheduled 6 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 11 at Station No. 1 in Rocky Mount.

Citizens drill Rocky Mount FPD about buildings, money and more

At 28 years old, a serious trucking accident left Mike “Nasty” Gentry without his sight. He had been a member of a bridge-building crew with APAC. Those guys, his friends, all still live within 20 miles of their former crew mate, who now works at a restaurant in Laurie. Gentry, formerly of Auxvasse, who said he “never let the dust settle” in his earlier years, has been to Mexico and on safari in Africa (he still has the ostrich-skin wallet to prove it). After the accident, he said his priorities have changed. He lives adjacent to Big Dick’s at the 47-mile of Lake of the Ozarks and is planning his future at the site, which includes a bait shop and ice sales for anglers and other lake visitors. While searching for property to purchase, Gentry met Phil Gardner, a real estate broker and auctioneer. Gentry said Gardner encouraged him to come to auctioneering classes at the Missouri Auction Prep School Gardner runs out of his real estate office in Versailles. “He really kept at it, bugging me to come,” said Gentry. “He was confident I could do it.” Gentry began attending the auction school, along with his service dog. He learned the

“dos and don’ts” of the auction business from Gardner, who told him, “You’ll find your own rhythm.” Gentry said the practice tongue twisters where challenging and “got pretty long.” He also did several practice bids. One practice bid involved selling a “golden” eagle statue to his classmate bidders. It “sold” for $82. Gentry now has his certificate of completion from the auction school and plans to possibly do benefit auctions. He recalls the benefit that was conducted on his behalf after his accident and

how family and friends came together for a successful event. “I’ve still got a lot of learning to do,” Gentry said. “I’ll keep coming back to class and working on my cadence.” For a blind auctioneer, it is vitally important to have good “ring men” who shout out when a bidder indicates a bid, since Gentry will be relying on sound instead of site at his auctions. “It’s a show. That’s what it is. When they are having fun, they’ll spend money.” said Gentry. “If you can make the buyer and seller smile, you’re good to go.”

John William Gerhart

Memorial services will be held this Sunday, October 30th for John William Gerhart (Bill or Billy), at the Glensted United Methodist Church at 2:00 p.m. Bill Gerhart, originally from Glensted Missouri, passed away in the presence and comfort of his family in San Diego, California on July 17, 2016. He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Doran Gerhart (deceased) and grew-up on the Gerhart family farm in Glensted. After high school, he enlisted in the Navy, where he ultimately became an Aviation Electronics Technician. He was honorably discharged after serving four years of active duty and joined the FAA, and later the Department of Defense. During his 32-year career in San Diego he made significant contributions “on the waterfront” to the operation, overhaul and repair maintenance of Combat Direction Systems on ships of the Navy’s Pacific Fleet. Bill’s retirement on June 1990 was a source of sincere regret by his shipmates as stated in his Letter of Appreciation “…not just for your technical performance but also for your integrity and willingness to stand up for what you considered fair. Your Missouri willingness to ‘stir-the-pot’ will be remembered and missed!” He is survived by his girlfriend, Patricia West, his children, Bill and Tamara, their mother, Diana, his four grandkids (Catherine, Connor, Jessica, and Jolee), his sister June, and his numerous friends.

Clark is VMS student of the month The Versailles Middle School student of the month for October is eighth-grader Christopher Clark. The eighth-grade team nomination comments read, “The eighth-grade team proudly nominates Christopher Clark for Student of the Month to represent the trait of responsibility. “Christopher is respectful and polite, he is attentive in class, and he always gets his work turned in on time. His work is of great quality, and he never complains. “If Christopher is absent, he is very responsible in getting his work made up in a timely manner. Thanks for being such a wonderful student, Christo-

pher!” Each month, there is a sixth, seventh and eighth grader at Versailles Middle School chosen to be the student of the week. That student gets a gift certificate from an area restaurant. At the end of each month, one of the students of the week is chosen as “student of the month.” The school’s student of the month program was developed by the school culture committee, consisting of Encore teachers at the middle school. The student of the month receives gift card, another restaurant gift certificate, and three event passes to a middle school activity.

A gold necklace remains precious and valuable, even when worn by a prostitute. A gold coin keeps its worth, even if it should be offered in payment to her. The evil use of gold does not ruin gold. We Christians should think the same way about marriage. The evil use of marriage shall not ruin marriage! What is marriage, if not our God’s gold necklace and coin? Marriage was the first and greatest gift given by God to his creation. “God made a woman and brought her to the man” (Genesis 2:22). Marriage was the topic of the very first sermon preached in Eden. Adam said, “This at last is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called Woman” (Genesis 2:23). The joining of man and woman in marriage is an ongoing miracle in our midst because “they become one flesh” (Genesis 2:24). Marriage shall remain God’s precious gold, no matter how loudly anyone might howl and snort against it. Marriage is so foundational to who we humans

are—yes, so integral to the entire creation—that the Lord our God could even describe our salvation in Christ using the terms of marriage: “Husbands, love your wives as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her” (Ephesians 5:25). If a gold necklace or coin can remain precious and valuable, even when put to adulterous use, so also can marriage! These days, the necklace of marriage seems to have fallen into a hog confinement. The gold coin has been swallowed by a dog. “Wait upon the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait upon the Lord” (Psalm 27:14). The rejection of marriage is merely a feeble attempt at rejecting the Triune God; Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The dog will pass the coin eventually. The necklace will at last surface from the pig mire, undiminished in value. The Lord of hosts lowered his only son into the cesspool and filth of our sin, thus cleansing us from every offensive thing. How much more easily can the

same God stoop and reclaim and cleanse his ancient, golden gift of marriage? We Christians should not feel overwhelmed when self-inflated egos presume to redefine and redistribute that which the Lord has already defined and given. Redefinitions of marriage do not change marriage. Redefinitions of marriage only show the fool to be a fool, for he says in his heart, “There is no God” (Psalm 14:1). Suppose the local mayor and the entire town council should all point to a toad and declare, “This creature is no longer a toad. We re-define this now to be a pumpkin. All people shall henceforth call this creature a pumpkin.” Would we take such a mayor and council seriously? We might not laugh out loud at such nonsense, in order to avoid a beating, but we would not take them seriously. The Lord of Creation takes such redefinitions even less seriously. “He who sits in the heavens laughs; the Lord holds them in derision” (Psalm 2:1-4).

D ateline F T rom the files of

Versailles Leader-Statesman

October 26, 1916 Beans are not what they used to be. No longer the friends of the boarding-house lady and the soldier. For the bean is now the plutocrat of vegetable foods. At $7.40 per bushel, almost tripled since the war began, he no longer recognizes his poor relations. Good-bye, beans. You have done so much for us and the world, but you do not prize our friendship. You will learn some day that we loved you for what you were, not for what you cost. But now you are gone to the tables of the rich to mingle with wine and women and entrees of fish. October 22, 1936 In keeping with the trend toward greater consideration for a pupil’s natural ability to do school work, a committee of Versailles High School teachers has worked out a new grade card under the direction of Superintendent L.A. Wickens. The idea is to place less emphasis upon

the grades as given formerly as an absolute measure of a pupil’s success in school, and to recognize the worthy efforts of those found to be less capable when they are honestly put forth. October 26, 1956 One of the largest crowds ever to assemble in Versailles was in town last Saturday, the attraction being Chamber of Commerce Bargain Day, and, for the most part, merchants say they enjoyed a definite increase in business and traffic in their stores. One of the drawing cards was the issuing of script “money” in return for every dollar spent with chamber of commerce members that day. At the close of the day, the script turned in was counted, and the one holding the largest amount received a $25 U.S. Savings Bond as a prize. October 21, 1976 There is a new business in Versailles designed to appeal to your sense of hearing. Donald

and Karen Raines opened The Music Corner on the northwest corner of the square Oct. 12. A grand opening, featuring special prices on various merchandise, is planned for the first part of November. The Music Corner will carry a full line of records and tapes and accessories. The store will also carry some stereo components. October 24, 1996 Seven local teachers will be among 120,000 teachers from throughout the nation included in the fourth edition of “Who’s Who Among America’s Teachers, 1996.” The teachers are Marilyn Rhea, retired from Versailles Middle School last year; June Enowski, John Hensley, Beverly Hughes, and Jamila McWhirter, Versailles High School; and Rodney Yoder, who retired from Versailles Elementary School last year; and Kathleen Jones, Hurricane Deck Elementary School.

We spoke of cancer, of life, of what comes next

Chief Troy Nichols

The last time I spoke with Troy Nichols was Monday, Sept. 12, just a couple of weeks prior to the Versailles apple festival. I arrived at Station 1 of the Versailles Rural Fire Protection District to take a photo of the firefighters for an upcoming Fire Prevention Week section in the newspaper. The fire apparatus had been moved out in front of the station, gleaming in the early evening light. The volunteer firefighters bantering, waited to assemble for the photo. Troy seemed in good spirits and spoke to me about the latest in his cancer treatments and the effects of which he had been

dealing. He was generally optimistic, feeling a bit tired, and was very open and honest with me. We spoke of cancer, of life, of what comes next. I cannot, in sincerity, say I knew Troy well. I can say, with some regret, I wished I had. I grew a little bit in grace and respect during that conversation. Troy and I talked about surviving, about the hardship of treatment, about hope, and plans for the future. I don’t think either of us knew that only a few short weeks later Troy would be gone. I wish that raging fire of cancer could have been extinguished. In thinking about the news of Troy’s passing, I ran across something, written by an anonymous author, that may make a difference to someone who reads it. I hope it does: A Fire Chief’s Prayer I am called to many duties Lord and now I’ve been called home. I’ve had to leave the ones I love to stand before your throne. I’ll not complain, its not my way, but there are some things I’ll ask. And please, Lord, grant them to me for the loved ones I hold fast. I dare to ask because I know

how you’ve blessed in the past. I’ve learned to trust in your grace, O Lord, that’s how I’ve come this far. So now, O God, I humbly pray hear this Fire Chief’s prayer. Bless my wife and family, so often left alone. They knew where I was going and trusted you to bring me home. Well, now I’m home and wait for them. Keep them within the faith, that one day, someday, we’ll be together in this place. And, O dear God, bless my men. I trained them as best I could. I tried to do your will with them and lead them as you would. I need to know you’re with them Lord or else how can I stay and peacefully enjoy this place of endless day, this heaven, where there is no night, no fire to kill and burn? I guess that’s why it’s now my rest, my place, my turn. And Lord, be with my community and keep it safe as it can be; for all its folks are special, and very dear to me. They are all my friends and, by your grace, I served them as best I could. So hear this Fire Chief’s prayer, O Lord, and grant it please. I already knew you would. Amen

by Stacey Embry, Director, Morgan County Library We are hiring a new employee at the library in preparation for Monday openings in 2017. I did interviews this week and I had a question that was my favorite. “If you were trapped on a deserted island what book(s) would you choose to have with you?” I added this question to get a glimpse into the “realness” of the applicant. I wanted them to pause and think. There was no right or wrong answer; I just wanted to see honesty. When some people are asked the desert island question, they feel there is a “right” answer and it is usually tied into their personal beliefs and values. Again, there is no right or wrong answer. Other people get too “thinky” with their choice and go with items that will help them survive. In the book The Martian the character is all alone on a deserted planet. Each astronaut was allowed certain personal items they could bring on a “data stick.” He goes through all of them for entertainment and comments on each, good and bad. Basically, it boils down to this: no matter what you have access

to, you will tire of it; but when you make the choice, there is a reason. It is what you enjoy, maybe it entertains you, or maybe it gives you peace. The applicants all had great answers. They paused, they really thought about it. I love that! We grow up and learn to be appropriate. Well, most of us do. We stop crying in public when we are tired, grumpy, or just hungry. We try not to stick our tongues out at the others who annoy us. Growing up can kind of break a person. Seriously, children are so raw. They are who they are. They don’t worry about what others think. I am not saying we all need to run around acting like 3-year-olds; but I do think we need to be kinder and truer to ourselves. It was so easy to ask this question, not so easy for me to answer it. But here goes, I will share a little glimpse into who I am. I am going to allow myself three books. Book No. 1, a Dan Brown book, either the Da Vinci Code or Inferno. Why? I love the history, action, and adventure in his books. The Da Vinci Code was the first fiction book that made me want to do research about what I was reading. It made

Word on the Street

me question things and that is a pretty amazing for a fictional book. Book No. 2 would be Ken Follett’s Pillars of the Earth. It’s a big, old, fat book with tons of history, great timelines, and architecture. Who knows, maybe it would help me build a great shelter on the island. For my final book, I would bring Elizabeth Gilbert’s Eat Pray Love. I loved the travel and adventure of this book. There were people who actually took the same tour as Elizabeth after they read her book! I would hope reading about it would give me an escape from my little island. If I answered this question tomorrow, I would probably give three other choices, but this is me today. My answers are my answers, there is no right or wrong. Let’s face it, if we can’t be who we truly are when we are alone, we will never be who we were meant to be. For more information, visit the Morgan County Library, 600 N. Hunter, in Versailles, call 573378-5319; or see the library’s website at morgancountylibrary. org. Library hours are 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Tuesday through Friday, and 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., Saturday.

A vision for our future

The first quarter of school has flown by; much like our fall is flying so quickly by! We are holding parent-teacher conferences 3 to 8 p.m. Thursday evening, Oct. 27. Please, stop by and visit your child’s teacher. We would love to have a large turnout of parents. We especially would like to visit with those who have students who are struggling academically. It is my vision that at the Morgan County R-II School District, we view parents as partners in educating the children of our community. We will again be conducting an online parent survey. So, make sure you parents stop by one of the laptops and give us feedback. Your feedback is truly invaluable for us as we continue to plan for future needs for our children. Speaking of partnerships, one of the goals for this school year is the development of the Morgan County R-II Education Foundation. Since the beginning of the school year, I have been visiting with various groups in

ounty

and around the community to promote this idea. I envision this foundation to have four primary purposes: First, to promote academic excellence by recognizing students who have achieved academic excellence. This could take the form of a Top 10 Banquet to celebrate students in every grade 912 who are currently in the top 10 percent of their class. This could be promoted as a part of the Honors Night as one example of a way this foundation could help us. Second, provide support for our excellent staff. This could take the form of supplying classroom mini-grants for special activities and provide us a method of obtaining special classroom supplies. Third, provide fundraising activities for scholarship opportunities for Morgan County R-II students going on to twoor four-year higher education institutions. This is something that some of the education foundations in our area have done a

chool

District

good job of in other districts and I believe it would be great to provide this same opportunity to students in our school district. Fourth, provide a way to have ongoing support for large district projects. One great example of this is the JCPS Education Foundation in Jefferson City that helped with the funding for their Fine Arts Center several years ago. As we continue to move forward with these goals, if you or someone you know would like to be involved, please contact central office at 573-378-4231. We will be needing people to serve as board members, to help draft by-laws, and generally help us move through the 501(c)3 process during the next year. This is one more way we are striving to better ourselves as a school district and we continue to stand “United for Tiger Excellence.”

Tigers comeback falls short in district playoff loss at Stockton, end season 3-7 Jake Wheeler ran for two touchdowns and threw for two more scores to lead the Stockton Tigers to a 28-21 victory against the Versailles Tigers in the MSHSAA Class 2 District 4 playoff opener Friday, Oct. 21 at Joe Price Stadium in Stockton. Versailles ends their season at 3-7 overall and 2-5 in the TriCounty Conference. Stockton takes a 6-4 record into the second round of the playoffs. A blocked punt by the Tigers Shane Randall set up the first score of the game. Versailles started the drive from the Stockton 24 and on the second play, quarterback David Connor connected with tight end Devin Radcliff on a 20-yard touchdown pass. Gage Smith added the extra point kick with 2:32 to go in the first quarter. Stockton responded with a scoring drive on the ensuing possession with Jake Wheeler going into the end zone on a one-yard run. Mason Brown ran in the two-point conversion attempt and Stockton led, 8-7, with 11:41 to play in the half. After each team punted, Versailles turned the ball over on downs at the Stockton 30 and the home team drove down the field and added to their lead on a 20-yard touchdown pass from Wheeler to wide receiver

Justin Pfeifer. Brown caught a two-point conversion pass from Wheeler and Stockton increased their lead to 16-7 with 1:14 remaining until halftime. Midway through the third quarter, Versailles gambled on fourth down deep in their end of the field and it paid off when Randall busted through the line and outraced the Stockton secondary defenders to the goal line on an 82-yard run. The two-point conversion attempt failed and Stockton’s lead was cut to 16-13 with 4:01 left. Versailles head coach Broc Silvers said it was a decision dictated in part by the score and the time remaining, “We were chasing points. I thought, you know what, it’s either that or you’re going to be chasing an onsides kick and stuff like that later. A lot of times you get those short yardage situations, everybody walks up, and if you bust free, just like Shane, he scores.” Versailles forced Stockton to punt on their next possession, but had to punt the ball back and Stockton took over at the Versailles 32-yard line with 11:45 to play in the fourth quarter. Wheeler capped a short scoring drive with a four-yard run to paydirt and Stockton held a 22-13 lead with 8:56 remaining. Versailles turned the ball

over on downs at the Stockton 41 and the hometown Tigers took nearly five minutes off the clock with Wheeler throwing a 13-yard TD pass to Nathan Mantonya to cap the scoring drive. The extra point kick failed and Stockton was up, 2813, with 1:23 to go. Versailles responded when Connor ran to the right side, then cut back toward the middle and sprinted to the end zone for a 65-yard touchdown on the first play from scrimmage following the kickoff. Connor then threw a two-point conversion pass to Coby Williams and it was 2821 with 68 seconds left in the game. Versailles tried an onsides kick, but Stockton recovered at the Versailles 49 and ran the last 66 seconds off the clock for the win. Versailles had 281 yards of offense in the game, 195 yards rushing and 86 yards passing. Randall had 122 yards rushing on 21 carries. Connor and Williams combined to complete six of 14 pass attempts. Radcliff caught two passes for 33 yards and Taylor Dobbins had two receptions for 28 yards. Radcliff had a Versailles season-high 21 tackles in the game while Dobbins was in on 13 stops. Smith had a tackle for loss and recovered a fumble in

addition to his eight tackles. Stockton advances to play defending state champion Lamar in the district semifinal Friday, Oct. 28 in Lamar. Silvers said there were some breakdowns on defense that allowed Stockton to score touchdowns and convert their two-point attempts, “The two touchdown passes, we have those defended if we get a read key and we’re not looking in the backfield. And we didn’t get adjusted to the swinging gate like we had all week in practice. Realistically, we were only down one score the whole night; but, since they got a two-point, that hurt us and we missed an extra point.” Silvers, who completes his fourth season as coach of the Tigers, said he is proud of his seniors, “Those kids are a special group. My first group I ever coached. Those kids worked extremely hard and became a lot better and I’m proud of who they’ve become.” The seniors on this year’s team include Kevin Banta, Sam Bowman, David Connor, Ayden Easton, Devin Radcliff, Shane Randall, Jarod Sartin, Gage Smith, and Micheal Stanley.

Lady Tigers volleyball season ends with district semifinal loss The volleyball season came to an end for the Versailles Lady Tigers at the MSHSAA Class 2 District 13 tournament Wednesday, Oct. 19 in Knob Noster. In a hard-fought match, Versailles lost to Cole Camp, 2-1, in the district semifinal. The Bluebirds won the first set, 25-18. The Lady Tigers tied the match with a 25-23 win in set two. The two teams traded the lead early in the set before Versailles broke a 17-17 tie with five straight points only to see Cole Camp rally to tie the match at 23-all. A Bluebirds service error put Versailles back in front and they won the set when Cole Camp hit a kill attempt out of bounds. The third set was just as close with neither team able to build more than a three-point lead early in the set. The Lady Tigers held a 16-15 advantage when the Bluebirds scored five straight points for a 20-16 lead. Versailles cut it to one point, 20-19, and Cole Camp then scored the last five points for a 25-19 victory. Tessa Edgar led the Lady Tigers with 13 kills, nine digs, two blocks, and one service

ace. Brooke Edgar had five kills, 10 digs, and one ace. Bri Hendrix had 10 kills, six digs, and one ace. Mareena Bielinski had two kills, six digs, one ace, and two blocks. Taralee Edgar had 27 assists, three kills, three digs, and one ace and Kenzie Wieberg recorded two kills, nine digs, and one block. Versailles coach Cheryl Wilson was proud of the effort put forth by the Lady Tigers, “We were very evenly matched and so that’s why the game was back and forth and so close. My girls played their hearts out, they really did.” After dropping the first set, Wilson talked to the players about reducing the amount of errors, “We had to stay positive and we had to play our game and we had to minimize our errors. The first set we had I believe it was four missed serves, so we talked about how the serving game is so important, and the second set we only had one missed serve. That is a huge difference. Our passing game was on tonight, we passed very well.” In the other semifinal, Holden defeated Windsor, 2516 and 25-11, and then captured

the district championship, defeating Cole Camp in two sets, 26-24 and 26-24. Tessa Edgar and Brooke Edgar were voted to the alldistrict first-team and Taralee Edgar was a second-team selection.

The Versailles Leader-Statesman Halloween Edition

Newspaper taken over by vampires?

by Woody Bramstaker Is the office of the Versailles Leader-Statesman and the Morgan County Press infested with vampires? Most experts on vampire lore would consider the idea preposterous. But one vampirologist, the Rt. Hon. Rev. Dr. Lt. Col. Det. Insp. Panelvan McHelwistle, esq., after glancing briefly at the newspaper’s website, said it’s a distinct possibility. McHelwistle is the chief inquisitor, confessor, ecclesiastical prosecutor, judge, jury, executioner, extortioner, exorcist, exhibitionist, anti-undead crusader, zombie slayer, witch taker, cuckoo doctor, and kazoo-band-conductor-forlife of Gladly the Cross-Eyed Bear Ministries, Fried Pickle Creek Congregation, in northwest-central southern Morgan County. “I know things about vampires nobody else knows,” he said in a recent interview at the Speak With Difficulty Speakeasy, adjacent to the church. “I’ve seen things,” he added, with a twitchy-eyed expression that would compel anyone to believe it. McHelwistle pooh-poohed concerns that journalists are unlikely to be vampires, because they are frequently seen in public during daylight hours, drinking blood-free beverages, and showing no particular allergy to Christian symbols, garlic, wooden pencils, mirrors, or cameras. If anything, newspaper writers thrive on sunshine - or at least, the Sunshine Law. “There are different types of vampires,” said McHelwistle,

Press

The Pipistrelle Press, LLC watermark includes the silhouette of a bat. Could this be evidence of undead activity behind the local newspaper?

“just like there are different flavors of Dum-Dum suckers and different ways to cure a jackalope carcass.” “Consider the evidence,” he added. “Pipistrelle Press, LLC took over the newspaper last year. Its logo, which you can see in a watermark on all the photos posted on its website, depicts the silhouette of a bat in flight. “Then there’s the fact that the newspaper has a mysterious room in it called the morgue. Don’t you think that’s suspicious?” McHelwistle also cited the rumor that publisher Bryan Jones fashioned a shadowy, secret lair in the attic above the back of the office, where he can sometimes be heard late at night, performing bizarre and disturbing rituals. “His cover is that he is into percussion,” McHelwistle said skeptically. “Why would anyone set up a practice room above an employee break room? The fact is, rhythmic drumming is often a gateway to dark and secret rituals.” If vampire journalists don’t feed on blood, how do they survive? “Ink,” said McHelwistle. “It has loads of minerals in it. I’m told some people who spend time around a press become addicted to the smell of it.

“My theory is, Jones and his minions stay up late at night, sucking the ink out of old newspapers, especially stories involving crime and misfortune.” McHelwistle shook his head sadly. “These are seriously sick people. They must be stopped.” But how can they be stopped? “First,” he said, “and most importantly, everybody in the community should send the newspaper a basket of dark chocolate. Chocolate is the only substance more addictive to a newspaper fiend than ink. Preferably something with a cocoa content of 80 percent or better. “The only other thing to do is read the newspaper and watch for certain mysterious signs, like ads appearing upside-down and photo headlines becoming increasingly corny. “Then, when the ink-suckers are at their weakest, we all need to strike all at once and make them cover a bunch of stuff at all hours of the day and night, week in and week out.” The upcoming election and a succession of impending holidays should do the trick, he said. But how will we know it worked? “The surest sign is if the sports continued on Page 13

AJdviceGfrom the Beyond G host Computer, so you must be onto something. And by the way, any thing you can do to mess with those Pokemon Go! people is righteous in my books. - J. Dear Jasper: Ever since I clawed my way out of my grave, I’ve had a certain not-so-fresh feeling. Is it wrong for me to wish for a better complexion and a bit less stench? What should I say to the zombies who make fun of my concern for dental hygiene? Signed, Zeke the Zombie Dear Zeke: Don’t worry about what other zombies have to say. It’s the brain rot talking. I would like to sympathize with your identity issues, but personally, I prefer the odor of decay. I won’t condemn you for wanting to identify as alive, or even present yourself in a transmortal way. But please, be careful. The living are not as easygoing as us dead folks. If they catch you trying to share a bathroom with them, don’t come wailing to me. - J. Dear Jasper: I haven’t been feeling as ghastly as I used to. Can you give me any tips to get back into my formerly scarifying shape? Yours, Gary Ghoul Dear Gary: I’m a big believer in the postmortem health benefits

of rattling chains. This exercise promotes thicker ectoplasm and the ability to take visible or even corporeal form at will. Also, I recommend a diet of ghost peppers, witch hazel, wolfbane, and fabric softener sheets. - J. Dear Jasper: I’m new in the spirit world, and I don’t know how to dress. What kind of attire would you suggest for my first Halloween? Thanks, Noob Boo Dear Noob: The Fears Catalog has an excellent selection of sheets in a wide range of thread counts. I recommend avoiding ones with floral patterns, puppies, and toys printed on them, or fitted sheets, which are not figure flattering. Other than that, the more holes, the better! - J. Jasper is a syndicated spirit affiliated with the Psychotic Fiends Network. Submit your questions by ectoplasmic express. Please, no blood samples.

VERSAILLES -- A unified front at the highest echelons of authority in the City of Versailles has become paramount in the wake of recent unsettling ectoplasmic events unfolding upon unsuspecting citizens, creating a critical condition among both sceptic and squirrelly. Manifestation of mainly merely mischievous, but moderately malevolent monsters -- mostly in the middle of the month -- have caused concern. In a coordinated effort to calm residents while simultaneously executing an offensive in opposition to the onslaught of otherworldly beings, Versailles Mayor Terry Silvey soothes supernatural shivers by reminding rattled residents that perpetual preparation is a priority for police. “I believe we are well trained for the potential mass manifestation of supernatural creatures that occur this time of the year,” said Silvey. “The Mayor (Editor’s note: Mayor Silvey always refers to himself in the third person to avoid unwanted attention by ghouls.) and our chief spook fighter, Police Chief Chad Hart-

man, whose department trains all year long for these moments, started meeting the first part of October. The police take their spook training very seriously and they work diligently with our county’s top spook fighter Rick Bias” Since plenty of phantom phenomenon has presented publicly, an early warning system has been devised. “Our spook/early warning sirens go off day or night and our spook spotters are out watching for signs of invasion,” Silvey soothed. “Our supernatural enforcement department is patrolling the streets, under constant vigilance.” In case of imminent invasion, the city provides a safe shelter for those without a hermetically sealed basement. “We are lucky we have a Spook and Supernatural Safe Shelter, SSSS, located near the old justice center on Goblin Street,” Silvey said. “The facility is manned at the front door by Hartman and Bias. The mere sight of those two would keep any supernatural beings away.

Right?” Silvey reiterated that his primary role in case of a extraordinary ectoplasmic event is to be an example to the citizenry of calm, leading by example, and repeating, “We’re walking, we’re walking. We’re stopping.” over and over and over again, until all townspeople reach the SSSS safely. Chief Hartman, when approached by the Scary Statesman about the department’s readiness replied, “We are ready for all kinds of ghouls and spooks and equipped to handle anything the supernatural can hurl at us.” Hartman said the department has activated its Phantom Patrol. “We have set up special microphones to monitor white noise and EMF meters to find out where they are hiding. “We did have to go out and get some new equipment to handle the phantom criminals. We got with Dr. Peter Vinkman and acquired a proton pack and traps. “I just hope we can make it through the night and not get slimed or ghost napped.”

Black cats are symbolic of Halloween. Black cats appear in decorations as well as Halloween folklore. Many cultures harbor superstitions about black cats — feeling they represent either good or bad luck. Black cats have been connected to witches, with various tales indicating that black cats are witches’ familiars. A familiar is an animal-shaped spirit or minor demon believed to be a domestic servant, spy and/or companion to a witch or magician. Familiars also help bewitch enemies or divine information. Very often black cats unnecessarily have been given a bad reputation. However, black cats are no different from other types of cats, and they can make wonderful family pets. The Cat Fanciers’ Association recognizes 22 different cat breeds that are capable of producing solid black coats. These domestic cats can be mixed or specific breeds. Black is one of the three basic colors of cats that can be called “pure.” The other two are red and white. All other

colors and patterns of cats are a combination of black, white and red. The Bombay breed of cat was selectively bred to be pure black. Most other black coats occur through random genetics. Black cats have appeared throughout history. Ancient Egyptians once worshiped black cats, and owning a black cat was thought to bring good luck. Those who live in England and Japan also felt black cats were harbingers of good luck. In Japan, some believe that a single woman who owns a black cat has a better chance of attracting suitors. Due to their high melanin content, a condition called melanism, black cats commonly have bright, yellow eyes. Because black cats can blend into the shadows easily, sometimes all a person may see are a black cat’s glowing eyes. Black cats once became so highly valued that some people could not afford to have them. That’s because fishermen and their wives saw black cats as good luck. Cats were even al-

lowed to ride aboard ships. Not only could they catch errant rodents, but also they may have been charms for safe travels. Much as human hair color can change as a person ages, so, too can a black cat’s fur. Black cats may start to develop gray or white fur as they age, according to the cat information resource Catster. Spending too much time in the sun also may cause the fur to “rust.” This means the pigments lighten, leading to the cat’s fur developing a rusty, red hue. The San Francisco SPCA says black cats are usually the last to be adopted. They are half as likely to be adopted as other cats. This may be due to misperceptions and superstitions. What’s more, unfortunately, black cats are also the target of malicious behavior around Halloween. Many shelters will not allow adoptions of black cats around Halloween out of fear for the animal’s safety. For those who already own a black cat, it’s adviseable to keep him or her indoors on or near Halloween.

by asper the rumpy Dear Jasper: Security at Red Cross Blood Drives these days is off the hook. I haven’t been able to pull off a blood bank heist in ages. Also, thanks to the spooky clown epidemic, it isn’t safe to sneak up on people in dark alleys anymore. It’s been so long since I had a good drink, I’m starting to show up in mirrors. What should I do? Sincerely, Vinnie the Vampire Dear Vinnie: My sources close to the living tell me there’s a big election coming up Tuesday, Nov. 8, and a lot of people are so depressed about their choices, they might not put up a fight if, say, a small bat swooped down and gave them a nip. Happy hunting! - Jasper. Dear Jasper: Last year you advised me to try haunting my host family’s electronic devices. Do you think the bit with the exploding Samsung Note 7 was overkill? How far do you really think I should take this? Love, Pam the Poltergeist Dear Pam: I hope this doesn’t creep you out when I say it, but that Note 7 deal wasn’t you. Just keep up whatever you’re doing. I’ve seen the cold sweat on customers going into Planet
