Students in Stephanie Whaley’s Anatomy and Physiology class model their sweatshirts. Front row from left are Starla Ely, Chloe Majors, Cara Allen, Ashley Woodrow, Jayme Hudson and Kayla Jennings. Back row from left are Brooklynn Hawkinson, Bailey O’Brien, Michelle Epperson, Ethan Mack, Wyatt Sharp and Walker Sharp.
Members of Stephanie Whaley’s Anatomy and Physiology Class recently completed a unit on the skeletal system. Reading and discussing the text was an integral part of the class work, but engaging the tactile sense was important, too. At the end of the unit Whaley had the students construct a project which combined all the information and applied it to a concrete model. The project for this unit of study called for each student to draw a replica of the skeletal
system on a sweatshirt. All the bones of the torso from the waist up and the arms bones were included and they had to be made to scale. Students also drew skeletal bones of the foot on socks. Several types of paints were used on the sweatshirts and socks. Puffy paint, acrylics, fabric paints and sharpies were mentioned. What was the hardest part? “Drawing it all free hand.” “Labeling all the bones.” “Getting it to scale.” The project will be graded on accu-
racy of the drawings and labeling. Students earned extra credit if they wore their shirts during classes all day. Other students were impressed with the detail and often commented on the shirts to their classmates and teachers. What’s next? The students will study the nervous system and a probable project will be designing a brain cap and labeling the parts of one of the most interesting parts of the human body.

COMMENTARY COMMENTARY
From The Editor By Editor Carolyn Trower
Despite the recent snowfall, there have been several things that raise our spirits during winter’s little hissy fit. I’ve heard several people say they’ve seen eagles, often more than one. An eagle sighting is exciting, especially when you’re on your ho-hum commute to work. Those white feathers fanned out in flight are inspiring. Seeing the young ones feasting in a field or along the highway
gives you hope that their numbers are increasing. A sign, perhaps, that our country may finally be moving toward more reasonable actions. Another bright note is the birdsong that greets me every morning. More and more are gathering in the trees and filling the air with sounds of the coming spring. I see flashes of blue and red as well as the beloved titmouse perched on the deck railing. The

AN EDITORIAL COLUMN FROM THE MISSOURI FARM BUREAU FEDERATION
Records: Keep or Shred?
As tax time approaches, it is time to look at your records and decide if you need that huge file. This is very similar to changing the battery in your smoke detector at daylight savings time. There are many records that you keep for life, but some can be kept for only three years. This is according to Regina Leeds, the author of One Year to an Organized Financial Life (DaCopo Press, 2008). Many documents are safe to shred on a monthly or annual basis. ATM receipts and deposit slips can be shredded after bank reconciliation. Bank statements can be destroyed after year-end statements are destroyed. The author also states that most tax returns should be saved for three years. Supporting documents should also be saved for that same time period. This includes 1099’s, w2’s, invoices, cash register tapes, credit card slips and bank statements. Any documents that provide proof of deductible purchases and expenses should also be saved along with receipts for charitable contributions. Documents that the IRS requires for six years are filed state and federal tax returns, experts agree that you can keep indefinitely for your own peace of mind. Other docu-
ments such as partnership, deeds and titles should be kept indefinitely. Property record and intellectual property should be kept for as long as you own plus threes after tax return indicating the sale of the property. You may want to check with your bookkeeper or CPA for more specifics as location and industry standards can be different. Do not discard non tax records until you check to see if the records should be kept. Insurance companies and creditors may require you to keep records longer than the IRS. More information can be found in IRS publication 552 entitled, Recordkeeping for individuals or publication 225, Farmer’s Tax Guide. These can be found at www.irs.gov or by writing the Internal Revenue Service at 1201 N. Mitsubishi Motorway, Bloomington, IL 61705-6613.

geese still confuse me, going sideways to the normal north/south route expected of them. My son explained that they veer off to glean a field or to take advantage of a pond. Regardless of where they’re going, I always look up. Their formations are patterns of hope; a return of the season and a promise of sunny days and greener vistas. Music of another kind was part of my weekend. My granddaughter and her fellow piano and guitar students met in Columbia for the NFMC Music Festival. Each student played memorized pieces and received certificates. It’s the culmination of a lot of practice and determination by these young musicians and it’s rewarding to see them excel in a music room as well as on a playing field. Youth Basketball is still
going while our school teams have shifted into practice for spring sports. Sometimes I worry about the young people overex-
A recent photo in the Quincy Herald-Whig showed a Waverly High School student reviewing her answer sheet during the annual American Mathematics competition hosted by Culver-Stockton. Two points stand out immediately. One: the score sheet is an archaic paper with manually darkened-in answer choices, rather than an electronic device. Two: there is no visible indication that the student or anyone else in the picture has a calculator. (And I’m willing to bet that none of the contestants are using “core math.”) These factors are not surprising considering that the competition is designed “to increase interest in mathematics and to develop better problem-solving skills.” As with most feder-
In the current issue of Missouri Life, Jonas Weir discusses a book by Joe Johnston “Necessary Evil –Settling Missouri with a Rope and a Gun.” While this book is set in Missouri, vigilante (from the Spanish; meaning guardsman) law was common west of the Mississippi, the Deep South, and Salem, Massachusetts where organized law was uncommon. “Part of why we tell these stories is so we’ll understand how imperfect this system was,” Joe says. “The problem with vigilante justice is that it’s short-sighted. It always leads to more violence and more vengeance. And there’s just no place to stop.” And the difference with social media and “bleacher referees” is? Two stories of fulfillment. An American agave plant (looks like a huge asparagus) spent 80 years at the University of Michigan, finally grew to 28 feet, bloomed, died, and may come back as a musical instrument. The children pushed their 90-year-old father’s hospice bed beside his 89-year-old wife and placed his hand on hers. Shortly after he passed, their 67 years of marriage concluded with her passing as well.
The column she is referring to is the following: When the depression hit in 1929, it didn’t take Sam Locke from Mexico, MO and his dad long to lose a chain of 34 grocery stores. To economize, Sam bought a load of cheap coal to heat his house. Only thing wrong, the coal wouldn’t burn in his stove. Using a shed in his back yard, Sam built a stove that not only would burn any
grade of coal, but would stay warm all night after the fire went out. Sam named the stove “Locke’s Warm Morning” stove and it would revolutionize the heating coal industry. This was in the early 1930’s. He started selling them out of the back of his car, selling 35 the first year, and 200 the second year for $27.50. He finally leased his patent to the Sinclair Coal Company in Kansas City. They sold 50,000 Warm Morning stoves in 1941, and 400,000 in 1942. In 1943, they were selling 2,000 per day, and building them in 15 factories. A lot of the stoves were going to the Army, Navy, and Marines. In 1946, with much fanfare and publicity, the millionth stove was purchased. Sam invested his royalties in farmland, and he wound up being the
largest land owner in Audrain County. My folks bought our Warm Morning stove out of the Montgomery Ward catalog. My mom renamed it “Cold Morning, Warm Evening”, since it took a long time to heat the three slabs of firebrick inside the stove that held the heat. The firebricks, made by the A.P. Green factory in Mexico, made the stove so heavy my dad decided it would be a good idea to just go ahead and leave it set up all summer. Well, mom said no to that idea, and dad and I cussed Sam Locke as we carried that heavy stove on out of the house and into the barn.

Jack Remembers By Jack Hackley
I recently received an e-mail from Linda Locke Heck, Hermann, MO, granddaughter of Sam Locke, saying “I just finished reading the article you wrote in May, 2011 for the Sheridan Express on my grandfather, Sam Locke, and his stove invention. I really enjoyed it and wish my father could have read it and had the chuckle I did at the end. I also wish I had a Warm Morning Stove.”

al, bureaucratic policy oxymorons, the current retention of progressive learners within the confines of remedial performance is self-defeating. Someone has to go out and achieve financial taxability to finance government spending. You can bet the loan agencies in China aren’t using “core math.” But, Big Brother always wants the last word. Missouri’s PSC recommended against building the “Clean Line” Grain Belt Express across Missouri in response to overwhelming negative response from citizens. Now, the proponents plan to get the federal government to override Missouri PSC. Illinois citizens in the path are currently fighting the same battle as Missouri. Illinois, however, plays by a different set of rules. IDNR has a tendency to rubber-stamp the money interests, and has the power to override not only citizens’ wishes, but the action of county boards representing those citizens. Currently, the Brown County board has recommended against establishing an ATV off-road track near Mt. Sterling. Residents don’t want the track, but state and investment revenue are in active play.
COMMENTARY
Well, March stalked in like a lion and will hopefully go out on-thelam. Not that there’s not enough bluster with the advent of March Madness. As the full rut of basketball season runs its course, there will be an equal number of team benches head-in-hands as there are celebrating. And, not being contained in a room with a TV screen, parents can work out their lungs and vocabularies for the summer youth sports season. This is also the season when the real world starts deciding which of the buffalo herd will move along at their own speed. Advanced fields of training and skilled professions are tied to the same puppet strings as are attached to the federally funded education system.
eagerly anticipate their victories, no matter the venue. Hope, a word associated with spring since poets put quill to parchment. Hope echoes in the hymns resounding in area churches each Sunday. It tickles the mind of every person who is scanning seed catalogs and sketching out the garden plot. It shines forth as the fishermen prepare for a season on the lake. Hope is in the determined swing of every bat and every muscle stretched before the first run. We should never lose sight of hope, especially here in God’s Country. We just need to look with fresh eyes at the people and places we see every day and open our hearts to the possibilities that await us. It’s going to be a great spring.

THE HANSEN REPORT STATE REP. JIM HANSEN
Up, Down and Around The District 2-28-15 It was with immense sadness that I learned of the tragic passing of my fellow public servant, Tom Schweich. This is a devastating loss for our state as we have now lost a leader and a man of the highest integrity, character and dedication. I ask now that all Missourians pray for the Schweich family as they cope with this tragic loss.” In the weeks and months to come we will continue to try to make sense of what happened and why a life so promising could end in this way. As we do, I hope we all can continue to focus our thoughts on the many positive steps forward Tom Schweich helped us take throughout his dedicated service to our state. Below are a few of the highlights of his outstanding life and career: A graduate of Yale and Harvard Law School. Schweich served as chief of staff for the Danforth Special Counsel Investigation Branch Davidian compound in Waco, Texas. He also served as Chief of Staff to three United States Ambassadors to the United Nations. He also served as the Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of State and Acting Assistant Secretary of State at the Bureau for International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs in the State Department. Schweich led diplomatic missions to approximately 30 countries. From 2007 – 2008 Schweich served as the US Coordinator for Counternarcotics and Justice Reform in Afghanistan He authored three books - “Protect Yourself from Business Lawsuits;” “Crashproof Your Life,” and “Staying Power.” As State Auditor he worked to ensure the proper use of public funds and to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of Missouri government. His office helped uncover more than 30 corrupt government officials embezzling millions of Missourians’ hard-earned taxpayer dollars, and identified tens of millions of dollars in waste and abuse in state and local government. He will be missed by the state of Missouri and everyone in the Capitol. It was another busy week on the floor and in committee for all of us. House Moves to Extend Big Government Get Off My Back Act – HB 32 My colleagues and I took action this week to continue a program that has helped nearly 200 small businesses here in Missouri. The Big Government Get Off My Back Act has been in effect for several years now and has bolstered small business growth by providing a tax deduction to small employers who create good-paying jobs. Specifically, the bill allows a $10,000 tax deduction for each full-time job a
business with fewer than 50 employees creates that matches the county’s average wage. The act doubles the deduction for employers who offer new employee health insurance and pay at least 50 percent of the premiums. The provisions of the bill previously applied through 2014, but with the passage of HB 32 we would extend them through the 2019 tax year. HB 130 Receives House Approval. The House engaged in spirited debate this week as we considered a bill to put a prescription drug monitoring program in place. Missouri is the only state in the nation that does not have such a system in place already, and advocates for the issue say it is time to change that distinction.The goal with the database is to provide doctors and pharmacies with a powerful tool to prevent the abuse of prescription medications, and to protect patients from having conflicting medications prescribed by the various physicians they may see. Additional Safety Standards for Clinics that Provide Abortions – HB 190The House also approved legislation this week designed to improve the safety at Missouri’s only clinic that provides abortions. The bill was filed by one of my colleagues who was concerned by a recent inspection that found multiple violations. While those issues were corrected, the concern is that the facility is not inspected. Legislation that Creates an Elected Secretary of Agriculture – HJR 29 HJR 29 is a constitutional amendment that would change the currently appointed director position to statewide elected office called the Secretary of Agriculture. My personal position at this time is gather more information about this HJR. If any of you would like to give feedback, please don’t hesitate to call or email my office. Medical Marijuana – HB 800 The Committee on Emerging Issues heard 3 hours of testimony this week from those supporting, opposing, and providing information on the subject of medical marijuana. Television personality Montel Williams was in attendance and provided 45 minutes of testimony in support of HB 800. Again, this is an issue I would like to hear from you about. Your opinions and feedback are always welcome and encouraged. Thanks to everyone for the support. I look forward to moving on with committee work this week as I continue to serve the 40th.

COMMUNITY NEWS Ralls County 911 Moves Toward Not For Profit Status The Ralls County 911 February meeting opened with Director Micheal Arnold reporting that the center was right on track taking 631 calls in the last month, right where they should be in the budget, and receiving few frivolous phone calls (Quincy reports a 50% frivolous call rate.) A soda machine for employees use has been installed in the break room. Proceeds from soda sales will be applied to a reward system for employees. On February 10 six op-
erators attended weather spotter training. Concerns in regards to Director Arnold and Assistant Director Barnard’s work schedule were expressed by the board. Director Arnold assured them they would not allow their schedule to affect their health. The next regular meeting will be March 19 at 7 p.m. After adjourning the regular meeting board members agreed to pursue a Not For Profit status and take steps to purchase their current
building. The purchase of their building was discussed and bylaws were approved. Board members selected Rich Adair, Chairman and Jan Golian, Secretary-Treasurer of the new board. A motion to approve a resolution authorizing the corporation to enter into an agreement to purchase real estate and authorize the president to execute documents to effect the purchase was unanimously approved. A public meeting will be announced at a later date.

American Sniper by Chris Kyle (with Jim DeFelice and Scott McEwen) He was the top American sniper of all time, called “the Legend” by his Navy Seal brothers and a hero by those he served on the home front… From 1999 to 2009, U.S. Navy SEAL Chris Kyle recorded the most career sniper kills in United States military history. Kyle earned legendary status among his fellow SEALs, Marines, and U.S. Army soldiers, whom he protected with deadly accuracy from rooftops and stealth positions. Gripping and unforgettable, Kyle’s masterful account of his extraordinary battlefield experiences ranks as one of the greatest war memoirs of all time. A native Texan who learned to shoot on childhood hunting trips with his father, Kyle was a champion saddle-bronc rider to joining the Navy. After 9/11, he was thrust onto the front lines of the War on the Terror, and soon found his calling as a world-class sniper who performed best under fire. He recorded a personal-record 2,100 yard kill shot outside Baghdad; in Fallujah, Kyle braved heavy fire to rescue a group of Marines trapped on a street; in Ramadi, he stared down insurgents with his pistol in close combat. Kyle talks honestly about the pain of war – of twice being shot, and experiencing the tragic deaths of two close friends. “American Sniper” also honors Kyle’s fellow
warriors, who raised hell on and off the battlefield. And in moving first-person accounts throughout, Kyle’s wife, Taya, speaks openly about the strains of war on their marriage and children, as well as on Chris. Adrenaline-charged and deeply personal, “American Sniper” is a thrilling eyewitness account of service and sacrifice that only one man could tell. SEAL TEAM 3 Chief Chris Kyle (1974-2013) served four combat tours in Operation Iraqi Freedom and elsewhere. For his bravery in battle, he was awarded two Silver Stars, five Bronze Stars with Valor, tow Navy and Marine Corps Commendations, and numerous other citations. In 2005 he received the Grateful Nation Award, given by the Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs. Following his combat deployments, he became chief instructor for training Navy Special Warfare Sniper and Counter-Sniper teams, and he authored the Navy Special Warfare Sniper Doctrine, the first Navy SEAL sniper manual. Kyle is also the author of the New York Times bestseller “American Gun; a History of the U.S. in Ten Firearms. He lived with his family in Texas, where he devoted much of his spare time to supporting veterans. Jim DeFelice is the author of Omar Bradley: General at War, the first in-depth critical biography of America’s last five-star general. He also writes a number of acclaimed military thrillers, including the Rogue Warrior series with Richard Marcinko, founder of SEAL Team 6, and the novels in the Dreamland series with Dale Brown. Scott McEwen is a trial lawyer in San Diego. This commemorative memorial edition of Kyle’s bestselling memoir features the full text of “American Sniper” plus more than 80 pages of remembrances by those whose lives he touched personally.

By the end of the summer, the intern will have produced a community guide or magazine that will be mailed to all of the residents in one of our counties. The intern will be responsible for all aspects of producing the publication: design, layout, taking photos, writing copy, editing and selling ads. The intern will be listed as both the editor and publisher on the masthead. Thus, the publication will be something tangible the intern can show future employers of what was accomplished in the summer of 2015. Also, the intern will be expected to interact positively with the publisher and team at the assigned paper and, time permitting, help out as requested.
