COMMENTARY COMMENTARY
From The Editor By Editor Carolyn Trower
Our spring weather keeps bouncing from temperatures in the lower 30’s to those balmy days of temperatures in the 60’s and the 70’s. Lower temperatures aren’t that bad when you can still hear the birds sing and gaze at the bright patches of spring flowers. The recent winds put a cruel edge on spring though; whipping newly unfurled buds from the trees and biting the tips of lily shoots with frost. Most of us are still buoyed by Easter week-
end and its many activities. Church services, candle light, and the glorious hymns bolster even the weariest of souls. Easter egg hunts were held in all three towns and were a huge success. Children, some dressed in Easter finery, raced to find the pastel eggs. Everyone got candy and some found tickets in their eggs that entitled them to a special prize. The mud has almost dried up and many gardens are tilled. Some hardy gardeners have planted

Hawk Talk

Apparently there are a lot of people whose time is not occupied by gainful employment. Even “seasonally adjusted” government-published employment/unemployment stats fail to explain the instant emergence of streets full of protesters, waving thousands of dollars’ worth of signs in response to any day’s “crisis issue.” When I flew camera crews for the media, the “go-to” was thick, black smoke; flames; and/or emergency lights. Now, the overwhelming obsession for one-upmanship is to give each Facebook post its 15 seconds of fame. Social media is today’s graffiti. It requires much less physical exertion than scrawling on buildings or railroad cars.
The old saying, “Fools’ names and fools’ faces are always seen in public places,” is not without modern merit. Miley Cyrus and Hillary Clinton and Charles Barkley and “e-nailed” the state of Indiana’s Freedom of Religion Law. Hillary at least has a law degree, and we can now assume that her personal server is functioning properly after hours locked in the delete mode. I wonder if Hillary’s law school notes include the fact that colonials did not feel that government should have the right to restrict religion or have the right to intrude into private domain to search or force the housing of government troops. Miley’s opinion is absolutely that. If there is any context

Jack Remembers By Jack Hackley
Next month, May 8th, will be the 70th anniversary of the end of WWII in Europe (VE Day 1945). Plans were made immediately to invade Japan. Troops located in Europe would come home, be given a short leave, and then be loaded up for the invasion. Those troops located in the South Pacific would be the first wave and it was estimated our losses would be at least 150,000, and some say three times that number. In the meantime, President Harry Truman ordered the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima. Three days later a bigger one was dropped on Nagasaki. That brought an end to World War II and therefore VJ Day, September 2, 1945.

Don Owings was the first man drafted in World War II from my home town. He was drafted in 1941 prior to Pearl Harbor, and it was supposed to be for one year. He spent the next 4 ½ years in the South Pacific, and was ready to go to Japan when the bombs were dropped. All of his life he credited Harry Truman
early onions, radishes and potatoes. My son spread gravel in my winter-ravaged drive and the grandkids eagerly helped me clean out the flower beds. So, as with the Lenten season and Easter, we prepare to make things fresh and new again. New beginnings imply an ending of sorts. We renew the Easter promise every year, but some secular events happen only once. Mark Twain held its prom last Saturday and while the underclassmen cherish those memories and look forward to next year’s gala, seniors are preparing for graduation. For them, this year’s prom was a final memory to tuck away in the high school scrapbook. College applications have been mailed and financial aid packets await further help from Mom and Dad. Spring is an enigma. A season full of hope and promise that can just as easily throw in an April
blizzard and lay waste to early bloomers. But the bad never lasts long, and while a devastating flood or snowstorm certainly stops you in your tracks, it’s only for a while. There are many lessons to be pondered in the spring. Patience as we dig the first dandelions out of the lawn. Compromise when we learn our first site choice for planting a new tree won’t work. Disappointment when we learn that a favorite flower bed will have to be dug up in order to do some repair work. The underlying lesson is that without hard work and thoughtful preparation in the spring, there won’t be a garden to harvest or cut flowers for the table in the following seasons. “To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven.” Ecclesiastes 3:1
in either Indiana’s law or Arkansas’ version that mandates discrimination, I have totally missed it. The police cannot come onto private property without permission, probable cause or a judge’s warrant. Should private citizens have more right-of-intrusion than legal law enforcement? A private citizen has the right to peacefully disassociate themselves from any person that they find incompatible – for any reason. A private business owner should have the same right in regard to operating that business. Should a Jewish bakery be forced to provide Neo-Nazis with a cake bearing a Swastika? Should a Jewish or Muslim deli be forced to cater a hog roast? Should an atheist printer be forced to produce Bibles or Korans? Now, what a person has the legal ight to do and prudent social interaction are not always a match. However, by adjusting to the situation, one often gains a new and valuable insight. Marilyn Monroe said, “If you want someone to pay attention; whisper.” There is little evidence
that fence posts are any more influenced by volume than are the shouters. If we can just hold out until the presidential campaign gets into full swing, the networks will have space between ads for basically nothing else. Protesters can hire out to campaign rallies. The new contact sports concussion test will be ready to apply to the head butters in Washington. Someone will realize that every email Hillary deleted either came from someone else’s computer or went to someone else’s computer. (Duh!) All devices capable of texting will be required to incorporate “spellcheck.” (Side bar here – no, that’s not the name of the tavern next to the court house where the “legals” hang out.) Print publications will be required to incorporate actual proof-reading in addition to “spellcheck”: AP article “…the nation’s other growing benefit programs have ‘foundered’ (how about ‘floundered?’) in recent years, …” Sometimes ya just gotta let yourself lapse into reality. You know you can’t please everyone, so you got to please yourself.
with saving his life. In my lifetime, I have heard that same story dozens of times. “Harry Truman saved my life.” In the Presidential election of 1948, the experts said Harry Truman did not have a chance. Thomas Dewey would be our next President. When Truman won in the upset election, the news media and the pollsters gave his whistle stop train campaign and his famous “do nothing Congress” speech as the reason causing the upset and Harry to win. All of them had it wrong, and historians to this day have
it wrong. Harry Truman won the election in 1948 because the hundreds of thousands of World War II veterans and their families had not forgotten he had “saved their lives” by dropping the atomic bomb. On this 70th anniversary, please send me your memories of World War II, or where you were and what you did when you heard it had ended.

REPRESENTATIVE JIM HANSON CAPITOL REPORT
Concerns About Grain Belt Express
On Tuesday, March 31, I presented House Bill 1027. The bill would require companies to show that there is a benefit to the state of Missouri before allowing them to apply for eminent domain privilege. You can go to house.mo.gov for the bill’s entirety. It was filed this session to address the concerns of constituents being affected by Grain Belt Express. The project is a 750mile overhead, direct current transmission line being proposed by Clean Line Energy Partners. Unfortunately, the company would use eminent domain to acquire the land needed to construct the line. Much of this land is used for agriculture – some for generations. It would be a wrongful use of citizens’ rights to use eminent domain on their land. I ran a campaign based on being a voice for the people. In this case, it is clear what they want. County commissioners and many more constituents have been opposed to the Grain Belt Express since January 25, 2014. Just last summer, there were eight public hearings held on the issue by the Missouri Public Service Commission. More than 2,000 people attended. To date, the PSC has received more than 7,100 comments in opposition to Grain Belt Express and just 60 in support. This is in addition to 3,300 petition signatures to the governor. I delivered this information at the hearing on Tuesday, where more than 100 concerned Missourians attended. I’m so appreciative of those who took the time to travel to Jefferson City and show support for my bill. Attendees included farmers, business owners, and representatives of groups including the Missouri Farm Bureau, the Missouri Landowners Association, Block Grain Belt Express Missouri, and the Missouri Cattlemen’s Association. Witnesses delivered compelling testimony demonstrating that Clean Line’s use of eminent domain would infringe upon the rights of citizens with little benefit to the state. Among those testifying was Jennifer Ga-
trel of Block Grain Belt Express. She summarized the testimony well when she said, “Clean Line provides no need or benefit to the state of Missouri. Landowners were forced to pay over $200,000 and countless hours of work and worry to prove themselves right. HB 1027 would require Clean Line, and any other company, to demonstrate need and benefit before putting landowners through the legal nightmare we have experienced.” Attorney Paul Agathen of Missouri Landowners Alliance testified about his concern that failing to prevent local use of eminent domain could lead to even greater consequences. “Without this bill, and if the Public Service Commission turns it down, it would go to the federal government to seek approval to build the line anyway,” he said. Missouri Farm Bureau President Blake Hurst has issued a statement: “We oppose expanding the use of eminent domain,” he said.“This legislation is needed to safeguard against expanding its use beyond what is absolutely necessary.” Every day we hear of new rules and laws passed at the federal level that gradually erode our personal liberties. There has been legislation introduced in the House this session pushing back against overreach of our federal government and the eroding of states’ rights. I view HB 1027 as the perfect bill to stand up for my constituents and the citizens of Missouri. The hearing for HB 1027 will continue on April 7 at 12:00 pm. I look forward to hearing from those who will continue to testify about this important issue. For more information on my bill, please feel free to contact my office or send an email to Jim.Hansen@ house.mo.gov. Again, thanks to all of you for the support. Working on your behalf, State Representative Jim Hansen Proudly Serving the 40th House District Lincoln, Monroe, Pike, and Ralls Counties Missouri House of Representatives 573-751-4028

Missouri House Approves Ethics Reform Legislation to Promote Transparency, Accountability with Elected Officials
The Missouri House of Representatives moved to strengthen the state’s ethics laws this week as it gave bipartisan approval to reform legislation that would enact a lobbyist gift limit, end the lawmaker-to-lobbyist revolving door, and require additional disclosure and transparency from elected officials. The House approved the measure (SB 11) by a vote of 132-14. House Speaker John J. Diehl, Jr. called the bill substantive reform that will help to enhance the trust of the people of Missouri in the public officials they elect to serve. “I’m proud of my colleagues for coming together in bipartisan fashion to take a substantive step toward ethics reform that will improve the level of transparency and accountability from elected officials,” said Diehl, R-Town and Country. “The bill we passed offers meaningful, effective changes that will strengthen reporting requirements, put $25 a gift limit in place, and put an end to the re-
volving door.” Amendments added on the House floor during debate Thursday afternoon would create a limit of $25 for lobbyist gifts to lawmakers and all public officials, and stop the revolving door for lawmakers becoming lobbyists by putting in place an immediate one-year ban for any public official leaving office. The House additions to the bill supplement several existing provisions that would require stricter reporting requirements for lobbyist expenditures; prohibit lawmakers from serving as paid political consultants; and require all political officers to obtain ethics training within 120 days of taking office. The bill now heads back to the Senate where the other chamber can either approve the legislation or send it to conference where key negotiators will work out the differences between the two chambers. Diehl said he anticipates the final version of the bill will cross the finish line in the coming.
A View From the Past
“Yesteryears from the local papers”
New London Pioneers are shown at the Old Settlers Reunion on October 2, 1886.
The following article and the accompanying photo are courtesy of Ron Leake, President, Ralls County Historical Society. New London will be 200 years old in 2019 Distributed by New London Chamber of Commerce HISTORY OF RALLS COUNTY AND NEW LONDON MISSOURI This is a brief history of Ralls County, stating but a few of the colorful events that took place in the early organization of Ralls County. The information for this history was gained from various sources, and has been rewritten for present day readers. The county known as Ralls was once in the province of “Louisiana” out of which this county, the state, and in fact, many states and territories have been carved. This tract of land embraces an area of more than a million square miles. It is believed that the first settlement of the white people was made during the first part of the 18th century, at or near, St. Genevieve. In 1763, France ceded Louisiana to Spain, but Spain did not assume control until 1769. St. Louis was laid out by Pierre Laclede Liguest in 1764. On the 14th day of December 1818, the counties of Lincoln and Pike were formed. Lincoln had the same area as it now has, and Pike extended north indefinitely and east to Howard County. In the territorial legislature, Pike County had two representatives, Colonel Johnson and Daniel Ralls. Soon after the meeting of the legislature, Daniel Ralls was taken sick and
grew worse until October 20th, when he died. On the sixteenth of November begins the history of Ralls County as a definite portion of the State of Missouri. On the sixteenth of November an act was passed forming from the northern part of Pike County, a new county, which was to be named after Daniel Ralls. At the time that Ralls County was formed it was a county of magnificent portions, having an area larger than several states. It comprises the territory now forming Audrain, Monroe, Marion, Shelby, Lewis, Clark, Knox, Scotland and the east side of Randolph, Macon, Adair, and Schuyler counties. Marion County was taken from the northern part of Ralls in 1826. Randolph, Monroe and Adair were taken from the county of Ralls a bit later, and so it was not until the year 1836 that Ralls achieved its present shape and limits. The first men to set foot in what is now Ralls County were Doctor Saugrain and Louis Bouvet, two Frenchmen who came from New Orleans. With their crew they came down the Mississippi River to the mouth of Salt River, to what is now the present site of New London. At this point the two men separated, and Doctor Saugrain went to Saverton while Bouvet went to Spaulding. Bouvet established a fort at Spaulding, and there he manufactured salt. The pioneers remained happy and prosperous until the year 1812, when due to British influence upon the Indians, the Indians became enemies of the settlers. This led to the war of 1812. After

this brutal war only one other siege of fighting was experienced. This battle was fought on Spencer Creek, south of New London. The last battle was at Cincinnati in the southwest part of Ralls County. After this battle the Indians left Ralls County and moved farther west. On November 16, 1820, Ralls County was formed, and commissioners were appointed to locate the county seat. In 1822 the first court house of Ralls County was completed. This structure was about twenty-four feet in length, and eighteen feet wide. It was located in the western part of town, on the second block west of the present location. The building was two stories high; the upper story was the court room, and the lower story was the jail. The next court house was built in 1835, but was torn down in 1858 because it was declared unsafe. In 1858 the present court house was built of cut stone which was quarried only a short distance from New London, and was fitted by hand, The cost of this project was $18,000. In 1935, because of inadequate space, a new addition was made to the old structure, using W.P.A. labor, and now the building adequately houses all county offices. In addition, four Federal agencies have been added: the County Extension Service, the Social Security Office, the Farmers Home Administration, and the Soil Conservation Service. As the front of the old court house is one of the very few examples of true Grecian architecture in the Middle West, it was chosen as the model for

the Missouri Building at both the New York and the San Francisco Worlds Fairs, in 1939. It is considered today as one of the most handsome old court houses in the state and will be standing for years to come. Ralls County has one of the largest cement plants in the world, located at Ilasco on the Mississippi River. The county, which consists of 313,000 acres of land, is divided into seven townships: Center, Jasper, Saline, Salt River, Spencer, Saverton, and Clay. New London is the largest town in the county. New London was originally founded by William Jamison, who came upon the site while prospecting for rich and fertile elm land. Jamison was a government surveyor and at the time he came through New London, he planned to settle around the now famous public spring. On May 6, 1819, he made his plans materialize by laying out the small town of New London. His married sister, Elizabeth and her husband, Robert Jeffries also came to New London and here their daughter Nancy was born on August 7, 1818. She was the first white person born in Ralls County and she was born in the first house of any description in New London. The house was located on the small rise just above the public spring. The place is now owned by Dr. William McFarland. The original house was a rough log cabin with a dirt floor, and of course, no modern facilities such as lights or gas.

Pastor Glenn welcomed everyone to the Sun Rise Service celebrating our RISEN Savior. After service we had a delicious breakfast buffet made by our wonderful ladies of the church. Prayer for our Prayer Requests was given. April announcements were made. On Tuesday, April 7, at 6:30 p.m. WMU Spring Banquet at Palmyra; Wednesday, mid-week Bible Study at 10 a.m.; Friday, April 10,WOM at Bristol Manor at 3 p.m.; April 12, The Lord’s Supper and Quarterly Business Meeting after services and a carry-in lunch; Monday, April 12, music team will be at Monroe City Manor at 6 p.m.; Ralls County Relay for Life, Saturday, April 18, 4p.m. to midnight at Mark Twain High School, Center, Mo. Supper will be served starting at 4 p.m.; Craft Day, April 14, 10 a.m.; WOM Meeting, April 21, at 1 p.m. Special Music was by Wayne Zumwalt, “Up Calvary’s Mountain” and “It Was Love for Mankind.” Congregational Hymns were “In the Garden,” Were You There,” Low In The Grave,” and “Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus.” The combined messages for this morning were “If you were a follower of Jesus how would you feel after your Lord was put on the cross, and died?” It would seem surely that our hearts would feel crushed, walking around wondering what to do. When they went to the tomb and His body was not there. Then, two men stood by you wear-
ing shining garments and they said,” Why are you looking for the living amongst the dead? He is not here, He has risen.” Then they remembered what Jesus had said about rising on the third day. Even though we are fearful of death, because it seems so final, so sad to think that life stops at the grave. That’s when we should rejoice in the FACT that Jesus overcame death. And by believing in who Jesus is, we, yes we, can join Him in sharing life everlasting with HIM. So many times we experience just a taste of what it will be like when we are in Heaven. The joy of a hummingbird stopping to look at you. The fragrance of the rain in the spring. Those small things that can make your heart leap or get that feeling of peace, just by the experience that (itty bitty) bit of Heaven. Oh, so much joy we can experience now here on earth. When you have turned your life over to Jesus, the Lord and Savior. The sweetness and strength allowed us by His Holy Spirit. So, if you need a friend to help you though problems and you think maybe, just maybe, Jesus might help you. Feel welcome in joining us here AR New Oakland Baptist Church, off Route J directly behind the Landing Water Park on Oakland Road. He is not here! For He has been resurrected, just as He said. Come and see the place where He lay. Matt 28:6 Please come and join us ...You are always welcome here.
