Macon Diversified Industries
MDI offers tours to the public of our Recycle Center every year on Earth Day. In the past we have had Macon R-1 Character Cats here to see our machines and employees at work, processing recyclables. This year, visitors could see the changes MDI has made by making the entire facility, aside from the thrift store area, a part of the Recycle Center. MDI dropped a work contract, which operated at a profit loss, in an effort to process more recyclable materials for the community and to introduce new job types to the current employees. Please be reminded that MDI can only process resin coded #1 and #2 plastics,, which is most anything with a screw top lid. Also be reminded that plastic cling film and recyclable glass are not processed at MDI. For a full list of accepted recyclables, please visit the facility or the MDI website, www.macondiversified. com/accepted-recyclables A facility expansion is in the near future for MDI which will address a vital need for additional stock yard space and parking, and a new building to house the thrift store will give additional room for the sorting and processing center. MDI wants to operate the best recycle center they can for their wonderful community! If you would like help us reach this goal, MDI T-shirts are being sold online as a fundraiser for the MDI expansion effort. www.booster.com/ MDIfundraiser
Explaining Macon Diversified Industries By Sharon Coram, Home Press staff Most people have seen the recycling symbol on bottles of shampoo, packs of paper, cardboard boxes and beverage cans: three chasing arrows, going around and around in a never-ending circle. This is perhaps a great example of what Macon Diversified Industries does, not just actual product recycling, but figurative recycling as well. Recycling products creates money, money creates jobs and jobs are needed for recycling products! (Plus helping the environment and the economy.) Macon Diversified Industries? Sheltered Workshop? Timeless Treasures Thrift Store? Just what is the difference and what do they do? Timeless Treasure Thrift Store is operated by the nonprofit Macon County Sheltered Workshop doing business as Macon Diversified Industries, Inc. The non-profit mission of Macon Diversified Industries (MDI), as an extended employment sheltered workshop program, is to create dignified jobs for people in the community living with disabilities. Sheltered Workshops were established in 1965, and in 1966 provided employment for 300 people with disabilities, and by 1997, over 8,900 jobs for people with disabilities. Locally, Macon County Sheltered Workshop operates a recyclables collection, processing and sorting center and Timeless Treasure thrift store. The job skills the employees learn at MDI are intended to help them hold jobs outside of the program environment. Missouri’s extended employment sheltered workshop programs receive state funding for operations, however, each facility must be able to cover “short falls” in that state funding which has been cut more than $2,000,000.00 in the last 5 years. The income generated within Continued on Page 1C

2015 Prom Royalty By Melissa Hendricks
Graduation Time Congratulations to all those who made it. I’m sure your feeling somewhat relieved, excited and maybe a little scared. You have a lot of decisions to make. Some of you know what you want, but others are still trying to make a decision. It’s not easy to try to figure out what to do with the rest of your life. When I graduated I wanted to become a surgical nurse. As you can see I didn’t do it. I attended college and worked toward my associate degree and I’m not far from obtaining it but to be honest I Hated School. When I finally graduated I was so happy, it felt good to finally be done with it. Then I got a job, went to college (never completed it) got married and my husband joined the Marine Corps so we started traveling it was wonderful. I have to be honest though I do wish I would have become a surgical nurse. I’m fascinated with the medical field. So I guess that would be my only regret. I have a very happy life, I’ve gotten to travel a lot, and I have 3 wonderful children so I’m very grateful. To those of you who know what you want, GO FOR IT! Get your degree in whatever you want or get two if you’re that ambitious. But if you don’t know take some time off to think about it, maybe you don’t want to go and that doesn’t make you a bad person. College isn’t for everyone. The important thing is that you do what makes you happy, not your family or friends but you! It’s your life, live it to the fullest and be happy. Again congratulations to all of you! It’s a great accomplishment.
Thank You! Thanks to all who participated and attended the “Museum Comes Alive” for the Macon County Historical Society. Next program: April 30th, 6pm Ralph Klusman.

great antique shops. We had a great time even though it rained on us from the time we got there until we got home. Our grandson Derek has been coming by every week to help Kenny and I with some of the heavy work we are trying to get done. Thank God for such a helpful and wonderful helper. Derek has been our helper since he was a little boy. Cody and I went to visit our neighbor Carolyn Stender on Monday. Cody had a bath and was anxious to show everyone how pretty he looked. Carolyn is always glad when I bring Cody to visit. I went to my friend Carolyn Hills today. She is not having a garage sale so I was able to borrow some folding tables from her. She was expecting her son to come to supper tonight and she was trying to get things ready. Well I have to get back to pricing stuff for the sale. Hope to see a lot of you Saturday. Praying all of you have a great week.................Patty

Grandma’s Yellow Pie Plate Program at Loch Haven
Have you ever wondered if your grandmother’s necklace was valuable? Or what about your grandpa’s old shotgun? Have you labeled items in your home to be given to your family members after your passing? Will those intended actually receive your cherished items? If you have some of these questions or would like information about how to transfer non-titled property, you are invited to attend a program that will help you sort it all out. “Who Gets Grandma’s Yellow Pie Plate” will be presented by Wendy Brumbaugh, Family Financial Education Specialist with University of Missouri Extension, at the Loch Haven Apartments on Tuesday, May 5, 2015 at 11:30 a.m. The program will include methods of distribution of personal property upon death and discussion of what is fair and equitable, and how to start a conversation with family members without sounding greedy. “Wendy was a guest of ours on our radio program (A Senior Moment-On Air) which airs on KWIX the first Monday of each month. We talked about this subject, and felt like it was a program that we wanted to offer to the public at Loch Haven. Trying to figure out how to divide treasures can sometimes be overwhelming. This program makes that job a little easier,” says Mary Beth Truitt, Loch Haven Marketing Director. “We invite the public to come, bring a sack lunch, and we’ll provide dessert and beverage.” Loch Haven is located at 701 Sunset Hills Dr. in Macon. For more information call 660-385-3113. (Submitted by: Mary Beth Truitt, Loch Haven Marketing Director) ST. MARY OF THE ANGELS WEIN, MO Fr. Michael Murphy Mass: Sunday @8:45am and Wednesday @ 6pm.

And the Bible Says
By Steven Saunders
God’s Truth Surpasses the End of Time! Matthew 24: 35 states “Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.” The same authority behind the creation of all things, John 1:1-3, made this statement. Truth is one thing that does not change, regardless of who it is, country you live in, or generation of man. We talk about how the world is changing, how we are living in a different generation, and that things are constantly changing. Our opinions of how these changes affect us, whether good or bad, differ from person to person. These changes have impact on our lives, our homes, our government, and our religious beliefs, altering the way we react. But one thing is certain, truth has not changed. John 12:47-48 tells us that these same words are the words, the truths, we will be judged by. Since the New Testament was given for guidance into all truth, John 16:13, these truths reflect every aspect of our lives, whether it is personal, our home, our workplace, our political persuasion, and especially our worship and service to God the Creator. As Christ was preparing for His return to Heaven, He instructs His disciples/apostles that the Holy Spirit would complete their education of truth, John 16:7-15. The purpose these words were given: (1) to reprove the world of sin, (2) instruct in righteousness, and (3) the warning of judgment. So these truths have not changed nor will they ever change. The Old Testaments gives many examples of men being accountable to God for the keeping of these truths. Violation brought the death penalty. Numbers and Deuteronomy are books where God gave them civil truths for running the nation of Israel. “Cities of refuge” were established for violators to run and plead their case in a court of law, for example. The need for such a legal system was and is because men don’t want to be governed by truth. We want to govern ourselves according to our own will. Historically, we have seen that never has worked, and always was a cause for unrest. We must respect authority as God ordained them regardless of the capacity, whether the home, the workplace, government, or His church. Governments are given their authority by God, Romans 13:1, and we must respect them as they rule according to God’s truths. When they go beyond God’s truths and establish their own false truths, we are not subject to their law, and their subject to be punished by God. The Old Testament gives many examples of God overturning nations, having departed from His truths. They were referred to as “heathen” nations. Regardless of their system of governing, they are responsible to abide within God’s law, or be punished. Homes were ordained by God, in Genesis 1-2, and man was given the authority over all things, wife, children, and animals. Ephesians 5: 21-33, states the husband has authority, and the wife is to respect that authority. God’s inspired writer, Paul, continues with a comparison between Christ and His bride, the church. At no time, were children ever given authority, whether the old law, or Christ’s. Children were commanded to honor their parents in obedience and respect to them, Ephesians 6:1-4. Parents will be held accountable before God whether they carried out God’s will on this matter. Wives will be held accountable before God whether they honored, obeyed, the husband’s authority. Husbands will be held accountable before God whether they loved and treated their wives s their own bodies. Regardless, of the authority God has appointed, we are subject, Hebrews 13:17. Yes, things have changed in our world, far from God’s Word, but the responsibility still remains, and God’s judgment is yet impending. We are still accountable for how we have kept His truths in all the areas of our lives. Ecclesiastes 12:13-14. Hebrews 9:27 both remind us of our responsibility to God and our facing a day of judgment. No one is missing death, and no one will miss the judgment of God. How are we doing with our responsibility before God? Are we going along with the flow of the wicked of humanity, with the changes which depart from God’s truths? We are accountable, just as we’ve seen that nature is accountable! I invite you to visit our website: www.histruths.net , and study with us there as well. We will have a “gospel meeting” or some refer to a “revival” where we will study and instruct further into God’s truths May 7-10th at our building at 7:00 pm. All are welcome to study with us and attend. No money will be collected at these evening meetings, according to God’s truths.

The Shepherd Calls
by Dr. H. Wade Paris
Democracy’s Dues There must surely be a better way. Having no better way to propose, I grow tense thinking about the months of political wrangling ahead---the speeches, the innuendo, the half-truths, untruths, the debates, and the spin makes my head ache. Like I said, I have no better way to propose; however I do have an observation that might improve our perspective. Make the campaign window smaller, briefer. The presidential election is still 19 months away. Many candidates have already announced, and some have been running unannounced for some time. In my opinion, political campaigns are like sermons that “run on” too long. Sometimes, the pastor continues long after the point is made. A wise pastor makes the point clearly and quickly. When the pastor breaks the brevity rule, the congregation ceases to listen. (It would be politically incorrect for me to make this analogy except that I am a preacher.) You may argue a political position needs more presentation time than a sermon. Perhaps, but how much more time is needed? Our present system puts the public in the pew thinking, “Oh my, when will this be over?” Having made that personal harangue, however, makes me feel like a less than serious voter. If democracy is to work, I need to vote. If I vote, I need to be informed. Given my less than genius mentality, I probably cannot get informed quickly. Humans tend to be lazy. If we dislike a chore, we find just cause to neglect it--- “They are all crooks; it doesn’t matter how you vote.” When interpreted, such a statement means, “If you don’t agree with me, you are a crook.” Another oft quoted political put down goes like this, “You can’t believe anything these politicians say; so you can’t know how to vote.” The less than admirable mindset of many citizens keeps a great number of them away from the polls; and many voters will go to the booths highly opinionated but poorly informed. As one who hates politics and tends not to be informed, I constantly remind myself that democracy requires responsibility and responsibility requires me to do my homework. Thus, I will pay my dues and become an informed voter. There is a scripture I think applies here, “Whatever your hands find to do, do it with all your might . . . (Ecclesiastes. 9:10).

Orpha Joyce McHenry September 9, 1919 - April 18, 2015
Orpha Joyce (Wooden) McHenry, age 95, of La Plata, MO gently passed from this world, April 18, 2015, surrounded by loved ones, into the arms of her Savior and reunited with past loved ones. Orpha was the 9th child, born the 9th month and the 9th day of 1919 to Reace and Florilla (O’Roark) Wooden in Elmer, Missouri.

Orpha’s business thrived with her dedication and the assistance of three of her daughters for over 65 years. Orpha was known as a beautiful and strong business woman, at a time when there were few.

Orpha was preceded in death by her parents, her husband, Von, son-in-law, Duane Francis “Mike” Eyman, a granddaughter, Florilla Joyce (Crawford) Brace, a great-grandson, Andrew Houston Brace, one brother and seven sisters. Orpha will be remembered by her family for her sense of humor and quick wit. She taught her family that they have a choice and to always choose being happy. She had a love of flowers and found happiness in knitting and sewing for her family. Every family member received her labors of love in the form of many things. Everyone received scarves knit the last few years and the granddaughters fondly remember Easter and Christmas dresses she made for them after working all day. Visits from her children and grandchildren always made her very happy. Orpha was a long-time member of the First Baptist Church in La Plata. Visitation was from 6:00-8:00 p.m. Tuesday, April 21, 2015 and funeral services were Wednesday, April 22, 2015 at 11:00 a.m. Visitation and funeral services were held at the La Plata First Baptist Church.

The Macon Tigers started a full week of games with a home tilt against State ranked Bowling Green. Collin Patrick was a beast on the mound and the star of the game for the Tigers. Patrick held Bowling Green to 4 runners total on 2 walks and one hit. “With the score tied at 0 going in to the bottom of the 4th, Jace Glover led off the inning with a double. Brendan Watts would then reach base on an error to give us 1st and 2nd and no outs. After a fly out and a pop out, Meade Fry would come to the plate with 2 outs and runners on 1st and 2nd base. Meade would hit a curve ball through the right side and in to right field to drive in the game’s only run. “I’m extremely proud of us finding a way to beat a great team tonight. They are a highly ranked class 3 school. Collin Patrick pitched a tremendous game for us. He commanded his fast ball all night and made it tough on their hitters. When they got a runner on base he kept his cool and still executed pitches. Can’t say enough about how well Collin threw tonight. Their pitcher threw a good game as well. I liked how we still found a way to get a run across. The way Collin was pitching, 1 run was going to go a long way. Great win tonight for our guys.” Coach Robuck. For Macon Collin Patrick 2-3, Trae Adams 1-3, Jace Glover 1-3 with a double and run scored and Meade Fry 1-2 with a RBI single. Patrick with the complete game victory and 10 strikeouts. The Tigers to the show on the road Tuesday against Monroe City. Tigers stuck first on a line shot Homerun by Brendan Watts in the first. Macon would score again in the 2nd and then Monroe City would tie it up with single runs of their own in the 2nd and 3rd innings. “With the score tied at 4 in the top of the 5th Skyler Thomas led off the inning drawing a walk. Cody Roth would enter the game as a courtesy runner for Thomas. Taylor Michalski would get a successful sac bunt down to move Roth to 2nd base. Trae Adams would then come up and line a RBI hit to left field and would be thrown out trying to advance to second. Trae’s RBI proved to be the winning run. Jace Glover would single next, followed by a Brendan Watts single. Collin Patrick would then record a RBI single to score Glove to give us our second run of the inning. It took us a few innings to get going, but once we did we started scoring runs and hitting the ball hard. Meade Fry did a great job on the mound for us and really gave us a strong outing. His off speed pitches were sharp tonight. The middle of our line up went 6-8 at the plate tonight and really produced several runs for us. We have won 5 straight now and are looking to keep the momentum rolling in to our game Thursday.” Coach Robuck. Macon would go on to a 7-2 victory. Brendan Watts 3-4 with a solo HR, Collin Patrick 3-4 and a RBI, Skyler Thomas 2-3 with a RBI and Trae Adams, Jace Glover, Meade Fry, Jay Olinger, and Taylor Michalski all recorded 1 hit a piece. Thursday the Tigers held Senior night and sent the Fathers home with a Baseball, Moms home with Flowers and Coach Robuck home with a victory. Macon dominated start to finish. The Tigers ended the contest in the 5th inning with a 12-2 mercy rule victory, “We really played well tonight. Pitching, defense, and hitting were all great for us tonight. We are playing good baseball at this point in the season. Hopefully we can keep the positive momentum rolling in to our game with Palmyra on Friday night.” Coach Robuck. Trae Adams 3-4 and a Run, Brendan Watts 3-3 with a RBI and 3 Runs, Collin Patrick 2-3 with a RBI, Christian Thrasher 2-4 with a pair of RBI doubles and 2 Runs, Meade Fry 2-3 with 2 RBI’s and a Run, Jay Olinger 1-1 with a single and Run, Skyler Thomas 1-3 with 2 RBI’s and Jace Glover 1-4 with a Run. The Tigers ended the week with a home contest against Palmyra. “In the 3rd inning Trae Adams singled with 1 out. Jace Glover followed him with a single. After a line out, Collin Patrick came up with 2 outs and 2 on. Collin would hit a RBI single to shallow right field to give us what would end up being the winning run. In the 4th inning we sent 13 guys to the plate. We recorded 10 hits in the inning highlighted by a 2RBI triple by Skyler Thomas.” The Tigers would win the game by the run rule in the 5th 10-0. “We played a near perfect game tonight. Christian was very sharp on the mound for us. Our defense made plays for him. Offensively we were clicking on all cylinders. A lot of our hits were line drives or hard hit balls. It was nice to see our guys show up and play the way they did against a tough team tonight. We finished the week 4-0 and are playing great baseball right now. Hopefully we can keep it rolling in to next week.” Coach Robuck

The La Plata Bulldogs returned to the friendly confines of the Sports Complex on Thursday evening to battle the Madison Panthers. The Panthers looked as if they were going to go up early getting runners to 2nd and 3rd before the Bulldogs shut them down. The Bulldogs missed a golden opportunity in the bottom of the first. With Jace Brown on first, Alex Smith doubled and tried to stretch it into a triple. He was tagged out before Jace crossed the plate for the 3rd out. Madison would send one run across in the third to take a lead. The Dogs would give their reply in the 4th inning. Brown was hit by a pitch to lead off the inning. Smith would reach by error, Davison would then single to score Brown and tie the game. Larson singled to chase home Smith. Bayli Boston as a courtesy runner for Larson would score on a single by Tucker Noah. Pipes would follow with a base hit, but La Plata was stopped when Noah got gunned down at home. The Panthers would wait to answer in the 6th. Two runners reached and advanced on a passed ball. One run would score on a groundout just before Pipes ended the inning with a strikeout. The Panthers were shut down the rest of the contest by Pipes who went the complete game victory for the Bulldogs. Noah 1-3 with a RBI, Larson 1-3 with a RBI, Trey Jackson 1-3, Trevor Pipes 1-2, Bayli Boston with a run scored, Smith 1-3 with a run, Tanner Riggins 1-4, Ty Davison 1-3 with a RBI and Jace Brown 1-2 with a run.

The Bevier Wildcats would start their week off by hosting the Gophers of Green City. The Gophers would take an early lead on the Wildcats and hold off the Bevier Boys for a 9-6 victory. Luke Long did his best to give the Cats the victory by clearing the bases with a Grand Slam Homerun. Ryan Dawson was 1-2, Brock Jones had a RBI, Cody Shaver had a run scored, Tony Humphreys 2-4 and a run, Caleb Richardson 2-4 with 2 runs scored. The Wildcats returned to the field on Thursday evening and took out a little frustration on the boys from Cairo. Bevier pounded out 16 hits, 6 walks and 2 HBP to score 19 times. The Wildcats were able to end the contest earlier and run rule Cairo 19-9. Garett Bailey 4-5 run and 2 RBI’s, Ryan Dawson 1-4 run and 2 RBI’s, Brock Jones

The Wildcats ended the week with a road trip to battle the Hornets in Atlanta. Under a cold overcast sky the Wildcats could not really get anything going offensively. They were limited to two hits total for the game and were unable to advance a runner past second base. Atlanta put the pressure on early scoring 3 runs in the bottom of the first and two more in the third. The Hornets would win the contest in 5 innings over the Wildcats 0-10.

The Hornets opened the week with a road trip loss to Schuyler Co. 10-0. Schuyler Co: We committed 5 errors, walked 8 and Chase Wait had our only hit. Green City: Collan Thrasher threw well but fell victim to a few defensive miscues and some timely hitting from the opponents. The offense sputtered and we weren’t able to get a substantial rally mounted. Give a lot of credit to Green City and an excellent catch by their center fielder that ultimately determined the final outcome. Lane Waddle and Tyler Johnston each collected hits for the Hornets. Atlanta baseball beats Bevier 11-0 in 5 innings. Marty Halley got the win on the mound going all 5 innings while striking out 5 and allowing only one hit. He was also 2-4 at the plate with a HR, 2 RBI’s and 2 Runs scored. Lane Waddle ended the night early with a 3 run walk off HR in the bottom of the 5th to cover the run rule. Chase wait, Collan Thrasher, Trace Johnston all scored runs for the hornets. Head Coach Nick Pfeiffer

Thank You! Phillis and I would like to take the time to thank our family and so many, many neighbors and friends who live in our Macon community and in surrounding communities who took their time to call, come visit, send cards, e-mails or whatever to let us know they cared about my accident and who offered prayer after prayers in our behalf. One never knows the power of faith and prayer until we are able to feel and see it in action. Regardless of one’s faith or church affiliation we are all able to understand the power and need of one another’s prayers. Most accidents are the result of being careless. I became careless for a moment. I must commend the excellent staff at the Macon Hospital emergency room and Dr.DeLine. They all did their jobs professionally. A special thanks to Brent Mayhew for taking care of the cattle. He does such a good job and Phillis does not have to worry about it one bit. Please friends do not become careless when working but if so remember there are those who care about you and will step up to see that your needs are met. May I be there for you in time of need as you all were for my family. God bless each one and never forget the love of the Lord.

Bits From Bucklin
by Doris Noah
MAXINE BUNTON REMEMBERS Once again we will be sharing a small portion of the article written by Maxine Lindley Bunton in the year 1990 when the store buildings were demolished along the mainstreet of town. Maxine remembered: Dr. D. C. Greear had his office upstairs over the Bill Hughes Rexall Drug Store. Why, Bill Hughes was the one who introduced me to R. L. Bunton my future husband! I was at home during the summer from college. Bill called one Saturday and said he wanted to see me when I came to town on that Saturdaynight. Everyone went to town on Saturday night to visit and to pay bills and “to do their trading” so I would certainly be there along with everyone else. When I arrived at the drug store there was no one in there except Bill Hughes and R. L. I went early because I assumed that Bill had a political message for my mother who was Republican Committee Woman at the time, and politics was a serious and a secretive business in those days. Still is I guess. Anyway, Bill made an introduction and then vanished behind the prescription case and left us sitting there alone. R. L. mixed us a coke, and we carried on a trivial conversation, but it turned out to be a very dull time for both of us. R. L. did walk me home. We walked because he did not own a car. Can you believe today that a young professional man who was 26 years old did not own a car? Well,” money was as scarce”, as the old timers say. That is it for this week. We will learn a bit more of Maxine’s memories next week as space permits CIVIC CLUB LADIES HOST LUNCH The ladies of the Bucklin Civic Club hosted a Citizen’s Appreciation Dinner on April 23rd at the community building in the park. Lonnie Hensley took pictures of the “girls” in their snazzy new red aprons, a gift from club member Patty Gilmore. Attendance totaled 51 this month. There was a drawing for the door prize at noon with Linda Balfour awarded the prize. VBS PLANS FINALIZED There was a planning meeting Sunday afternoon for the finalizing of plans for V BS. The community Vacation Bible School is scheduled for the first week of June at the Bucklin Christian Church. The dates are from June 1st until June 5th. If you are available and able there is always a job for a willing volunteer. Contact any of the local pastors and let them know you would like to help. You may teach a class, rock a baby or wipe up spilled Kool Aid but whatever you do it will be a blessing to the children and to you as well.
PAINTERS SOUGHT If you would like to lend a hand at the lovely new food stand in the park here is your chance. Galen and his faithful crew of volunteer carpenters are making great progress. Soon the interior walls will be ready for a coat or two of paint. I don’t know about you but I cannot run electric wire, raise a rafter or even do a good job hammering a nail in a board: I can wield a paint brush and maybe so can you. If a brush fits your hand let Galen know and he will let you know when to show up. The paint will be furnished but you will want to bring your own brush. Time to have a paint party and as the feller on TV is prone to say, “Git’er done”. ODDS ‘N ENDS A few years ago Walt Smith mentioned they fed Baltimore Orioles grape jelly in a hollowed out orange. Sounded funny to me but I was willing to try it. You know folks it is the truth: it is a treat to see these beautiful orange and black birds hang and eat the jelly right out of the orange. Walt and wife Jo feed several pair in the spring and they stay there in their woods up there north of New Boston all summer. The birds we get here in town eat for a few weeks and leave. I am thinking they go north (maybe up to the Smiths). Anyway this is the time of year to buy a jar of inexpensive grape jelly and an orange to cut in half and fill with jelly. (I will confess, I ate the orange and put the jelly in a small plastic bowl in a little basket fastened to the clothes line pole. The birds enjoyed the jelly and I enjoyed the orange.) The rhubarb is thriving and so are the clumps of winter onions out by the garden. The strawberry bed is white with blossoms. I will thank my friend Charlie Hughes for giving me the plants every time I go pick a bowl of these sweet berries. Our blackberry vines lived through the winter and will soon be blooming.

Dairy Prices Holding Steady
Dairy producers saw record profits last year, but prices are down this year. “The 2015 dairy markets are about as steady as I’ve ever seen,” says University of Missouri Extension agricultural economist Joe Horner. “Typically we’re either shooting through the roof or going through the floor.” Horner talked about prospects for the dairy industry April 22 at the MU Spring Ag Marketing Outlook Conference. Dairy supplies are growing, but only about 1.5 to 1.8 percent per year. Horner says he expected faster growth following last year’s profits, but that hasn’t happened. “With California’s drought, they are dropping in milk production, and that alone is keeping a lid on our milk production this year,” he says. One out of every five gallons of milk in America comes out of California. While domestic demand has been steady, exports have been falling, Horner says. The U.S. exported around 17 percent of its milk the past two years, but milk exports have dropped below 13 percent this year. He says the slowing economies in China and the Middle East coupled with the rising dollar make it difficult to compete against other major exporters. With the drop in on-farm prices, consumers are paying less for milk at the grocery store. Horner expects that to continue. “Unless we see a drought situation develop later this year in the Midwest or the eastern half of the U.S. like there is in the West, I would expect feed prices to come down and milk prices to be pretty steady,” Horner says. Presentation slides from the conference are available at http://agebb.missouri.edu/mkt/teleconf.
Many Farmers Switching From Corn to Soybeans A lot of farmers may be switching to soybeans because of the high cost of growing corn. USDA’s first estimate for corn acreage in 2015 came in at 89.2 million acres, down about 1.5 million from last year. University of Missouri Extension agricultural business specialist David Reinbott told the 2015 MU Spring Ag Marketing Outlook Conference that farmers might switch another 500,000 to 1 million acres from corn to
C Y

soybeans if fields aren’t dry enough for planting in the next few weeks. The USDA pegged soybean planting at 84.6 million acres, up about a million acres from last year. That estimate may be on the low side, Reinbott said. Based on trend-line yields and current use rates, ending stocks could put soybean prices under $10, he said. Prices could go even lower if farmers switch more
acres from corn to soybeans, he added. Reinbott says it looks like there will be a good-sized corn and soybean crop in Brazil and Argentina, which also will push prices down. Presentation slides from the conference are available at http://agebb.missouri.edu/mkt/teleconf.

Remole Report
REMOLE REPORTS FROM MO CAPITOL Rep. Remole’s Capitol Report - 4/24/15 This report from the Capitol comes after many long hours. As the session comes closer to its end on May 15, the push to get things done becomes greater. The budget took priority as one of the main goals was to get it done early. House and Senate Reach Agreement on Fiscal Year 2016 Budget (HBs 1 – 13) After several long days of negotiations and discussion, the House and Senate finally worked out their differences and gave final approval to the Fiscal Year 2016 state operating budget. The bills now move to the governor’s desk a full two weeks ahead of the constitutionally-mandated budget deadline. During the budget process, the Senate made significant changes to the House version of the state spending plan, including a lump-sum budgeting approach that included 4 to 6 percent cuts to health, mental health and social services programs. These changes drew the scrutiny of some on the House side and even lost the backing of leadership in the Senate as negotiations progressed. The final version of the budget approved by both chambers moves much closer to the original House spending plan, but does take some fiscally responsible steps to rein in the growth of the state’s social welfare programs. The final version of the budget does include the Senate’s plan to move Missouri’s Medicaid population to a system of managed care, but the transition will occur slowly and only after the plan has been reviewed. The $26 billion spending plan that will take effect on July 1 of this year does include record levels of funding for elementary and secondary education. In total the state is now spending just under $5.8 billion on public K-12 schools, which represents more than 22.2 percent of total state spending. More than $3.2 billion of that funding is state general revenue, which represents more than 36 percent of the $8.85 billion state dollars over which the legislature has direct spending authority. The budget also includes significant boosts to several important education programs, and sizeable funding increases to the state’s public colleges and universities. Some of the funding highlights contained in the FY 2016 budget include: An additional $84 million for the School Foundation Formula for K-12 public education; An increase of more than $2.4 million to the Parents as Teachers Program; Full funding for virtual education; Funding to create a state dyslexia coordinator; A $12 million increase for performance funding for Missouri’s public institutions of higher education; More than $5 million in new equity funding for Missouri’s two-year colleges; Funding to establish a state military advocate; A 3 percent funding increase to providers who care for elderly and developmentally disabled Missourians A 3 percent provider rate increase for autism projects; and Additional funding for MoHealthnet adult dental benefits. House Sends Unemployment Reform Legislation to Governor (HB 150) The governor will have the opportunity to sign legislation that supporters say will keep Missouri’s system of unemployment financially stable. House members gave final approval this to a bill that would link unemployment benefits to the rate of unemployment, and ensure the state keeps more money in the unemployment trust fund. Supporters of the bill said it is meant to protect the state’s unemployment system from insolvency in the event there is another economic downturn. Missouri is the only state that has been forced to borrow money from the federal government to pay for unemployment benefits during each of the last five economic downturns. Borrowing federal dollars has the added negative impact of taking away a portion of a federal tax credit businesses normally receive. The legislation is designed to make sure the state has enough money in its unemployment trust fund so that businesses don’t have to pay a penalty. Specifically, it would increase the minimum amount of money in the fund before employers’ contribution rates decrease. For example, Missouri businesses would see their contribution rates decrease by 12 percent if the fund has a balance greater than $870 million. The bill also ties unemployment benefits to the average unemployment rate so that more benefits are available when unemployment is high. If the state were in a position of high unemployment (9 percent or higher) benefits would be available for 20 weeks. In periods of low unemployment (lower than 6 percent) benefits would be available for 13 weeks. Supporters noted that a similar system is already in place in states like Georgia and Florida. They call the change an important step toward ensuring Missouri can afford to help its citizens during times when they are without work. The bill lost some support in the House after key changes were made in the Senate. Several House members who had supported the House version of the bill changed their votes to no because of a Senate amendment that would define severance pay as wages. Opponents said the change would make it even more difficult for unemployed Missourians to obtain the financial support they need to pay their bills and keep food on the table. The governor now has the option to sign or veto the bill. The legislation received 88 yes votes in the House, which is 21 votes short of the number needed for a successful veto override. I know there has been many things said over the last few years about the Governor withholding money from agencies and libraries that had been appropriated for them. This week an audit report came out that may explain some of his actions. The report really troubles me when I read that our Governor took money from other agencies to pay for in-state flights and staffing, despite lawmakers efforts to stop this practice. If Nixon had not pulled money from other departments and delayed payments to a later fiscal year, the Democrats’ office would have exceeded it’s 6.9 million dollar budget by

Cut to the Chase The Legislature and Governor Should Support Fuel Tax Increase By Blake Hurst Time is drawing short this legislative session for the Missouri General Assembly to approve a desperately needed increase in highway and bridge funding. A 2-cent increase in the state fuel tax is a small step in the right direction to help address our state’s serious road and bridge needs. The legislature and the governor should act now. Beginning in 2017, the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) will be $160 million short of funding to maintain Missouri’s entire 34,000mile highway system in the condition it is in today; furthermore, the lack of sufficient funds also threatens the state’s ability to match $167 million of federal funds in 2017 and $400 million each year thereafter. If Missouri fails to match federal funds, other states will receive the funding generated by Missouri taxpayers. To their credit, MoDOT worked through a serious downsizing of staff, equipment and buildings to reduce costs. It was not without controversy, but the payoff has been to make millions more available for actual construction and maintenance projects. Missouri’s highway and bridge improvement needs are real, and efficiencies in MoDOT have been and continue to be implemented. There should be no debate as to whether the need for increased funding is legitimate. Action must be taken. If the state legislature were to increase
the state fuel tax (gasoline and diesel) by 2 cents, the increased funding to MoDOT would be $55 million and the increase to cities and counties would be $23 million. The $78 million total would be below the annual tax limitation cap of $95 million. The additional 2 cents has to be used for roads and bridges. In the 90s, Missouri Farm Bureau supported the annual tax limitation cap and voters approved it overwhelmingly in 1996. The constitutional cap requires major tax increases to be approved by the voters, and at the same time recognizes the legislature and governor should have the authority to approve small tax and fee increases when justifiable. The current Missouri fuel tax is 17 cents per gallon and at 19 cents would still be the lowest of all surrounding states except Oklahoma, which also has a 17-cent tax but has several toll roads to supplement its revenue. Iowa’s legislature and governor recently increased its fuel tax by 10 cents (from 20 to 30 cents for gasoline and 22 to 32 cents for diesel). Iowa has one-third the highway miles as Missouri (8,900 compared to 34,000). Missouri Farm Bureau’s memberadopted policies are conservative and skeptical of tax increases, but our policy also recognizes that our state’s roads and bridges need increased funding. A 2-cent fuel tax increase will not solve all funding shortfalls, but increased funding for roads and bridges is desperately needed. Please urge your legislators to support a better transportation system for all Missourians!
$1.9 million over the past 3 years, the audit found. “ if the rest of state government ran that way, we would be in deep trouble,” Deputy Auditor Harry Otto said. You can read the full report from the Southeast Missourian and your local news. When I read that the audit pointed out that among the 14 agencies was Elementary and Secondary Education, and the Senior Services departments, I was more than troubled. As your representative I have voted with my colleagues to help all these departments, some at record levels. To see this kind of behavior taking place, needs to be called out and stopped. We have been working to stop the abuse of tax payer money. In the days ahead we will be working to stop such actions and hold people or agencies accountable for their actions and how they use tax payer money. We were happy to have two schools down from the district this week! (See photos below.)

In the Arena with Nate Walker MO General Assembly Sends FY 2016 Budget to the Governor… The Missouri House of Representatives and State Senate reached an agreement on the upcoming Fiscal Year (FY) Budget this week early on Thursday morning around 6:15 a.m. After several long days and late nights of negotiations and discussion, the House and Senate finally worked out their differences and gave final approval to the Fiscal Year 2016 state operating budget. The budget bills (HB 1-13) now move to the governor’s desk a full two weeks ahead of the constitutionally-mandated budget deadline for his action. As I have reported earlier, during the past two weeks, in my IN THE ARENA legislative reports relating to the budget process, the Senate made significant changes to the House version of the state spending plan, including a lump-sum budgeting approach that included 4 to 6 percent cuts to health, mental health and social services programs. These changes drew the scrutiny and opposition of many, including myself, on the House side and even lost the backing of the leadership in the Senate as negotiations progressed. The final version of the budget approved by both chambers moves much closer to the original House spending plan, but does take some fiscally responsible steps to rein in the growth of the state’s social welfare programs. The final version of the budget does include the Senate’s plan to move Missouri’s Medicaid population to a system of managed care, but the transition will occur slowly and only after the plan has been reviewed. The $26 billion spending plan that will take effect on July 1 of this year does include record levels of funding for elementary and secondary education. In total the state is now spending just under $5.8 billion on public K-12 schools, which represents more than 22.2 percent of total state spending. More than $3.2 billion of that funding is state general revenue, which represents more than 36 percent of the $8.85 billion state dollars over which the legislature has direct spending authority. The budget also includes significant boosts to several important education programs, and sizeable funding increases to the state’s public colleges and universities. The FY 2016 Budget invests $5.78 billion for K-12 education and $1.26 billion for higher education. The new budget also defunded what is called “Common Core”, that money will now be used to create a MO-based testing system. There was also $200 thousand of funding put into this budget to create a state economic development plan to help better assist local community and economic developers. Also, all debt obligations for the FY 2016 budget have been met. Although, we never get a perfect budget passed, I believe that we have a responsible balanced budget. I supported each
of the thirteen budget bills and I believe that the Missouri General Assembly has made a good effort to pass a balanced budget addressing the important critical needs of our State for the upcoming fiscal year. Although it was our House plan to have the budget bills completed last week and sent to the governor’s desk by Friday, April 17, we still were two weeks ahead of the constitutional deadline. I have appreciated the many calls, emails, letters and personal contacts from my 3rd District constituents with their input on the FY 2016 Budget. Your direct input is important and it does make a difference. The following are some of the funding highlights contained in the FY 2016 budget: *An additional $84 million for the School Foundation Formula for K-12 public education; *An increase of more than $2.4 million to the Parents as Teachers Program; *Full funding for virtual education; *Funding to create a state dyslexia coordinator; *A $12 million increase for performance funding for Missouri’s public institutions of higher education; *More than $5 million in new equity funding for Missouri’s two-year colleges; *Funding to establish a state military advocate; *A 3 percent funding increase to providers who care for elderly and developmentally disabled Missourians *A 3 percent provider rate increase for autism projects; and *Additional funding for MoHealthnet adult dental benefits. Our work will continue to be busy as we approach the final three weeks of the first regular session of the 98th Missouri General Assembly which is scheduled to adjourn on Friday, May 15th. To follow updated language relating to all legislation, see how I have voted, and/ or follow the status of legislation go to my website at: http://www.house.mo.gov/ member.aspx?year=2015&district=003 or the general House website at: www. house.mo.gov Please remember that our State Capitol office is always open to you.

Tips for Fishing Heavy Cover A mistake a lot of fishermen make when flipping and pitching is dropping the bait on the outside edge of the structure or cover, and that spooks any resident bass. Instead, drop it right at the base. Most fishermen naturally don’t want to get hung up, but you have to get over that if you are going to improve your flipping and pitching skills and begin catching bass in heavy cover. Most of the time you will find that the thickest spots are holding the biggest fish, so this is where you should put your first flip or pitch. Practice flipping and pitching at a target around your house so when you are on the water you have the confidence you need to put your lure where you need to. Then you won’t have to worry about getting hung up as much. Besides, you aren’t fishing where you can catch big fish if you aren’t losing a few lures.

CALLAO Part 2 Plus LOE and KERN
By Merlyn Amidei Macon County Historical Society Over the years Callao has had several unique factories and businesses. One of these was an ax handle factory owned by Vic Grove. The factory also made other types of handles, railroad ties, singletrees, wooden wheels, buggy wheels, and bridge planks. T. F. Owen had a brick factory operated on Stinking Creek. A Mr. Bennett had a broom shop where regular brooms were made plus whisk brooms and push brooms. A tile and block plant was run by Lee Kerr. A lot of his tile was used under the roads to help with carrying water away from the roadbed. There were also a saw mill, a roller mill, a grist mill, a flour mill and a tool and die shop. Jeff Buster of Morrow Township south of Callao made history in Macon County when he became the first rural news correspondent. He sent new items to the Macon Times in 1870. Col. Green, the publisher of the paper, did not believe it would be newsworthy but he was proven wrong when his subscriptions quickly increased from both Morrow and Callao Townships. Today there are still correspondents sending community news to the papers. The first paper published in Callao was the Callao Times established in1888. In the 1890’s W.E. Cason started the Callao Courier; Warren Campbell started The Callao News; The Callao Journal was published by E.R. and R.V.Moran; then J.R. and Albert Winn established The Herald. The Callao Journal began again in 1907. It continued with different publishers until 1940 when it became part of the Macon ChronicleHerald with Frank Briggs. Callao has always been a town to enjoy entertainment and festivities. The first Callao Fair was held in 1907 and continued until 1925. In 1910 it was estimated that over 11,000 people attended the three day event. In the early years the C.B.& Q . Railroad ran special trains for people to get to the fair. For several years during the early 1900’s Callao hosted the Chautauqua. “Callao citizens would travel to other towns in motorcades advertising the event.” During the early 1930’s the businessmen held a Community Free Fair. In 1955 the first Callao Harvest Fiesta was held and they always had large attendances from all over the county. They celebrated their centennial in 1958 (I square danced there with the 4-H group) and their Sesquicentennial was held in 2008. Hopefully, they will celebrate the bicentennial in 2058. James Loe is believed to be the first
settler to live within the present limits of Macon County. From the most reliable information that can be found, he was the first white man to erect his cabin in the area. He came to Howard County in 1820 from Wayne County, Kentucky, and located near the old town of Fayette, where he remained until 1827. He then moved north and settled on land in Randolph County on what would become the south part of Callao Township. He established the community of Loe named after him. For some time he and his family saw no other humans except for the Sioux Indians. Approximately ten years later shortly after Macon County was established, Loe built on to his cabin and had two rooms available for travelers coming in to the new county. This was perhaps what you could call the first hotel in the county. Kern lies between the old Chariton River and the New Chariton. It was a flag stop on the Chicago, Burlington, and Quincy railroad (CBQ) between Callao and New Cambria. Judge Robert Kern of St. Louis owned land in the river bottom and the town was named after him. He was involved with getting the new Chariton dug. Besides the flag stop, there was a Methodist church, block housed, pump station, club house, depot, ballast pits, the Kern Store, Prairie Bend School, and later Jake Grove School. I
didn’t know what ballast pits were. I thought they had something to do with mines and knew there weren’t any mines around Kern. But they are rectangular pits for kilns and according to the Macon Citizen the gumbo land where the kilns were constructed the ballast was burnt for the railroad. “This peculiar soil is said

The Callao Argonne Memorial Post & Unit 360 recently hosted the District 1 meeting. They were honored with the presence of the Missouri Department President Anita Smith from Milan, MO. President Anita talked about the importance of keeping our memberships current. Even if members cannot attend all meetings their membership dues will still help the Auxiliary financially to
to furnish a superior quality of reddish ballast, which, when scattered along tracks, makes the roadbed almost as solid as rock.” Laurele Dunhan White wrote her memories about Kern in a book that the genealogy department has at the museum. She states that she rode back

District President, Victoria Ornelas presented President Anita with a gift and $30.00 to go toward her President’s project of updating the furnace and air conditioning of the Department office in Jefferson City. Those in attendance were served a delicious ham dinner after their individual meetings. and forth to school on the train. “There was a pusher engine that stayed between Callao and New Cambria to push long freight trains up the hills from the Chariton. The pusher came in handy lots of times for Kern folks. The men would sometimes ride home on the pusher. Sometimes things we needed were sent down on the pusher. When my brother Tom was a baby Dr. West sent Eagle Brand milk down on the pusher for my parents to try when they could find no milk that agreed with him.” In the Callao book All Roads Lead Home it says “the 1909 flood (on the Chariton) was as bad as the one in 1875…the town of Kern was submerged completely; people had to go from place to place in small boats.” I tried to look this up in the papers. According to the Macon TimesDemocrat - July 15, 1909, “The Chariton River is higher than it has been for years and crops of all kinds in the bottom lands are ruined and the people living near the river have had to move out and leave everything to the mercy of the floods, some almost losing their lives.” There was no specific mention of Kern but I imagine this was it. There’s always a mystery in history!

COLORING PICTURE
Think you’re following the same rules of grammar that your grandparents or parents did? Think again. While you might have been taught some of the same rules, you might also be learning some new ones. That’s because the English language is constantly changing. Listen to your grandparents or parents chat. Now, listen to some teens chat. Hear a difference? Chances are you do. Computers, cell phones and technology in general have led younger people to speak and use the English language differently. While Grandma might have been taught never to start a sentence with the conjunction “but,” you might have been taught differently. The English language is constantly changing to reflect the times. Emailing and texting have resulted in new words and new uses for punctuation marks. The grammar rules you are learning now as a student may no longer apply when you are attempting to help your kids with their homework years down the road.

Lap Robes 4 Veterans Project
In fall of 2009, a quilt group, Hands of Friendship Quilt Guild, Kirksville, MO, began a project to recognize veterans in our area who had severed our country. Many have been involved over the years, and the program continues to this day. These quilters have visited most nursing homes in the area and many other organizations and personal homes. In some of our counties and area, all known World War II veterans have been recognized. To date, over four hundred (400) Lap Robes have been passed out. In early April, the National Commander of the American Legion made a brief visit to the Reynolds-Martin American Legion Post 282 in La Plata. The local Post contacted Kathy East, a quilt guild member, and she arranged to have one of the Lap Robes to present to him in recognition of his military service as well as his work as National Commander of the American Legion. All present at the presentation were impressed with Lap Robe and commended the Hands of Friendship Quilt Guild for this project and their efforts.

Students Receive First Place in State Competition
Alex Burden and Torey Beauchum are students of the Macon Area Career Center Multimedia class. This is a class that shows students how to make use of technology tools in Marketing. Some of the fun aspects of the class are using Adobe Photoshop and editing videos. Recently, the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education sent out a challenge to all Missouri High Schools to create a video illustrating how Career and Technical schools work closely with local employers. This is a goal that the Macon Area Career Center strives for daily, so the Multimedia class jumped at the opportunity. Their submission won first place in the statewide competition. The prize consisted of a $2500 grant that was awarded to the class. Alex and Torey are holding some of the items purchased with the grant funds. They plan on utilizing these new tools in the future to create projects of an even higher quality. Photo submitted by William King MBA, MAT, Business Instructor, Macon Area Career Center.

Matt Stieger, senior minister at Crossroads Christian Church, discussed the details of their current building addition that they hope to have completed by this August or September. The new addition is the result of their growth over the past several years that has created the need for more space for many congregational needs. Some of those needs are a large multipurpose area that will accommodate their entire congregation at one time. It will all serve their need for more office space, a larger gathering foyer, and a larger kitchen area to name a few. They hope this will help them better serve the community, their congregational families, future and current growth and provide adequate facilities to serve all their needs in a more comfortable and enjoyable manner. Pictured are Darrin Eleazarraraz, left presented the program presenter, Matt Stieger. (Submitted by Chuck Spencer)
the business aspect of the workshop is vital to cover full daily operating expenses. Because MDI is a 501c3 nonprofit they are able to apply for grant funding. Some of the grant funding MDI has received was awarded by the Mark Twain Solid Waste Management District - Region G, via Missouri Department of Natural Resources, and helps MDI to purchase equipment and machinery to avoid putting recoverable waste into the area landfills. MDI also relies on private and public donations of household goods for the thrift shop as well as recyclable material for the recycling center. According to The Missouri Association of Sheltered Workshop Managers, “The founders and supporters of Missouri Sheltered Workshops were the same persons who founded and supported the companion legislation Senate Bill 40 (voter authorized county tax levies to assist people with developmental disabilities) which was passed to provide local support for workshop programs and group homes. In 1996, the 80 Missouri counties that have Senate Bill 40 tax levies collected approximately $42,292,39 and provided approximately $6,921,392 to more than 45 workshops around the state. It is estimated that more than 25 percent of these funds are used for capital/ equipment expenses. (Not all workshops receive Senate Bill 40 funds.)” The recycling center is the biggest of Macon Diversified Industries operations. It has been in place since 1987. They are the only collection center in a 30-mile radius of Macon. They take donations at their main location and there are also collection trailers in Bevier, Callao, La Plata and Atlanta. There is also a bin located at Wal-Mart in Macon.
MDI takes clean and dry recyclables. Their current list includes CLEAN AND DRY corrugated and other types of cardboard; all types of paper; limited plastics-resin coded 1-2 only; all types of textiles, including clothing, shoes, stuffed toys, purses/bags, belts; aluminum beverage cans; steel food cans; small household metal items. They cannot accept any item contaminated with body waste; items that may contain hazardous chemicals; recyclable glass; electronics or appliances that no longer work; broken/ damaged furniture or beds; baby cribs and/or car seats; nor any TRASH. One thing they emphasize is requesting people do not bring trash to the center. It seems to be a growing problem and it wastes space and time for the employees. Public donation items that have resale value are placed for sale in the thrift shop and any items that are not sellable in the thrift store go to the recycling center and are processed. Timeless Treasures Thrift Store, which opened 12 years ago in July, is operated by donations made by the community. By donating items or shopping in the store, it helps to create jobs for MDI and helps pay operating costs. They also offer specials on Mondays in the thrift store (for example: 50 cents off all shirts). Whether you want to collect items for recycling, donate items for resale or even make a monetary donation, please be sure to remember Macon Diversified Industries. It will not only help keep your home free of clutter and help the environment, it will most importantly help sustain MDI’s ability to offer dignified jobs for people working in our community and living with disabilities.

Tri-County Christian School Annual May Day Festival
Tri-County Christian School to Host Annual May Day Festival 13th Annual Fundraiser to Benefit Tri-County Christian School The Parent Teacher Fellowship (PTF) at Tri-County Christian School will host its 13th Annual “May Day Festival” on Saturday, May 2, 2015 at 10:00 A.M. to 3:00 P.M. The May Day Festival will be held at Tri-County Christian School in Macon. Area families, individuals, and businesses will attend this year’s festival to help raise funds to benefit Tri-County Christian School. Principal Kala Bunse explains, “With the money we have been able to raise in the past, the school has been able to keep the cost of tuition down by offsetting the cost of curriculum, providing teacher training, extra-curricular items such as classroom Bibles, Interactive White Boards, classroom computers, playground equipment, physical education equipment, and building upkeep.” In 2015, the PTF plans to provide at
least $8,000 to Tri-County Christian School to offset the cost of curriculum. In addition, the PTF is hoping to purchase additional Interactive White Boards so each classroom will be equipped with new equipment. Bunse also added the continued success of the May Day Festival is due to enthusiasm of supporting parents, businesses, and individuals who participate in the auctions, baby show, carnival, and other fundraising at the event. “It doesn’t matter if the people attending are directly involved with Christian education, they are always willing to raise money for the school and have a good time while doing so.” Over 100 items will be auctioned for both youth and adults. A year ago, more than 100 Macon and Shelby County area merchants again helped sponsor this event that grossed more than $11,500. The PTF is hoping to exceed last year’s fundraising efforts. “We hope this year’s carnival games, petting zoo, baby show and great food will bring several families and supporters to our May Day Festival,” said Bunse. McKenna’s Dancing Stars will again be preforming along with a few of our Talented TCCS Students. Additional information about the upcoming May Day Festival is available by calling Tri-County Christian School at (660) 385-7188. (Photo Submitted by Aaron Baker)

2015 Chillicothe Invitational Golf Tournament
April 21, 2015 Dear Editor: Unbeknownst to me, there must have been a revival meeting in our town as the Mayor and all four council members suddenly got religion at the same time and discontinued the plan to sell the water & sewer departments to liberty utilities. Back in February when I wrote my first “ Letter to the Editor” Regarding this plan that hardly anyone knew about, I made the comment that “if it looks too good to be true, it probably will be.” It was! Who knows the real reason that all suddenly changed their minds. I am sure they will try to spin it as caring and looking after their constituents. But folks, I t was a near disaster. Suppose this measure would have been on the April ballot as originally planned and been passed. The city would have been obligated to repay tens of thousand of dollars in past loans: Grants: Etc. I don’t think it had a chance of passing and that may be the real reason for the council
and Mayor changing their minds. I have talked with probably a couple hundred citizens and only found two that were going to vote for the measure). A couple of other mayor and council happenings, Did the golf course give any of the $12,598 in profit last year (of which three-fourths of the year was during my administration) to the city to apply to the over $424,000 debt they owe. I doubt it! Will the library suddenly start turning a profit after years of being subsidized by the city. Time will tell! That debt is over $209,000. I read in the council report that junk cars are to be found by the police department and apparently marked for removal by citizens. Maybe they could start with the old junk car that has been down on the ground for years by councilman Jones old filling station. I started a similar program five years ago, but quit trying to enforce it when council members refuse to clean up their own properties. Your former Mayor, Charlie Thompson

Mizzou Students Help La Plata
This past weekend students from Mizzou came to our neck of the woods in La Plata to do much needed tasks around town. They painted at the Food Pantry and pictured are some of the group doing the laborious chore of scraping paint off needed areas at The Green Theatre and Annex. The FLPP fed them a delicious lunch, but most notably it was so nice to see such a cross section of altruistic youths volunteering their time. (Photo by Randy Bunch)

The ringtail lemurs are hanging out in their new playground at Heartland. These two adorable lemurs, who look a lot like monkeys to me, are quite friendly and ready to swing and leap and put on a show in their new summer enclosure. Guests can see the lemurs in their outdoor home near the Solid Rock Café anytime the weather is warm. On cooler days, the lemurs still get plenty of exercise, which guests can watch through the observation window.
These are the latest additions to the Heartland Exotic Animal Park, not counting the baby camel who was born this spring. Daryle Newsome and his crew are always working to bring something new for visitors to enjoy when they come for a tour or a stay in our community. It is just one more way to show the goodness of a Creator who took time to paint stripes on the zebra and rings on the tail of the lemur.
The Beta Sigma Phi sororities of La Plata would like to invite all girls 6th grade and under along with their daddy’s or other adult male influence that live in Atlanta or La Plata school districts to our “Frozen” themed dance. The dance will be on Saturday, May 2nd from 7-9pm at the La Plata Elementary Gym. There is no
charge for the dance we are just hoping to help make a nice memory for the families who attend. In addition to the complimentary photo for each family, there will be a free photo booth with props so you are welcome to bring your cameras for additional photos.
