Yard of the Month By Melissa Hendricks What’s in a Day? I hope everyone had a great Memorial weekend! I know it’s supposed to be a day to remember our fallen Heroes. To me it’s that, as well as being thankful to those who are currently serving and just remembering our loved ones who have passed. I read a great post on Facebook that said “Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for youJesus Christ and the American Soldier. One died for your soul the other died for your freedom.” –Unknown. I definitely don’t want to offend anyone and I hope I haven’t. I just feel this was a profound statement for me and I wanted to share it. I just want people to remember why we are able to have the freedom we do, not just on Memorial Day but everyday should be a celebration I know it’s not always easy and sometimes for us it’s impossible. People all around us are going through things we could never understand. I just hope for everyone to find a reason to be thankful for another day because we are not promised a tomorrow so if we have one we need to find a meaning in it and be grateful and live to the fullest we can.

2015 House Legislative Achievements This year the House Republican Caucus passed critical reforms necessary to move Missouri forward. From tackling spiraling welfare costs and abusive municipal court practices to making significant investments in education and infrastructure, the House of Representatives has made meaningful progress that will benefit all Missourians in the coming year. Reigning in Welfare Spending This past year, welfare spending consumed over 30% of our state budget—to the tune of $8.6 billion. Growth in Missouri’s welfare programs has spiraled out of control. The Heartland Institute recently ranked Missouri last in the nation for welfare reforms. The passage of SB 24 marks a significant step forward in how welfare dollars are utilized in Missouri. Research shows that the number one way to break the cycle of poverty is to get people into steady employment. SB 24 ensures Missouri’s welfare programs are a hand-up for those who are truly struggling—not a permanent source of income. Reducing Spiraling Health Care Costs In 2012, the Missouri Supreme Court struck down caps on noneconomic damages for medical malpractice cases. The cost of practicing medicine in Missouri has skyrocketed and our medical professions are in turmoil. The passage of HB 118 was a necessary step to limit the financial burden on physicians and keep good doctors here in Missouri. HB 118 places a $350,000 cap on noneconomic damages in medical malpractice cases only. Those damages are difficult to quantify and include “pain and suffering.” This limit will not affect economic damages such as lost wages. Right to Work Missouri’s economy is stagnant; as we look to create an environment conducive to growth and opportunity, we hear from site selectors and business owners time and time again that Right to Work is essential. Since 2000, nearly five million Americans have moved to the 24 states that provide workers their freedom. One-quarter of these states border Missouri; we had to act and this year, for the first time, we passed Right to Work legislation. During the 10-year period from 2004 to 2013, Right-to-Work states grew jobs at an average rate of 5.3 percent, according to the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics. That’s more than twice the rate of job growth in forced-union states (2.1 percent). More specifically, right-towork states grew 3.6 million jobs during that time frame, far exceeding the total of 1.5 million in states without worker freedom. Right-to-Work states also have experienced higher wage growth. U.S. Department of Labor data from 2003-2013 show wages grew by 15.1 percent in Right-to-Work states, while wage growth lagged behind at 8.2 percent in forced-union states. Although opponents argue that right-to-work results in lower wages, data suggests that workers in right-to-work states have more disposable income. After adjusting for the differences in the cost of living between states, the National Institute for Labor Relations Research reports that 2013 per capita disposable income was $38,915 in Right-to-Work states, compared with $36,959 in forced union states. Their data suggests that dual-income families in Right-to-Work states average nearly $4,000 more in disposable income than their counterparts in forcedunion states. Missouri workers should have the right to decide whether to join a union or pay union dues. We know monopolies are bad for consumers—why should we give unions a monopoly on the workplace? Unions should have to earn their members’ support and their dues. Unemployment Reform Missouri has distinguished itself as the only state to run out of unemployment funds in each of the last five recessions—an abysmal record stretching back two decades. An insufficient unemployment fund balance hurts Missouri workers and places a substantial, unnecessary financial burden on small businesses. During the “Great Recession,” Missouri had to borrow $700 million from the federal government in order to continue to pay Saturday, June 6th unemployment insurance. starting at 8AM. HB 150 protects Missouri Maps available workers and small businesses by tying the amount at bevier of unemployment benefits businesses to Missouri’s average rate of unemployment. When unemployment is above nine percent, benefits would be available for 20 weeks; in periods of low unemployment, below six percent, benefits would be available for 13 World Class Loan & Tax Service weeks. Eight states including R Illinois, Arkansas, and Kansas have already reduced the 1701 Prospect Dr, Ste B • Macon, SC maximum availability of unemployment and four states have tied their unemployment benefits to their unemployment rate.

Cleola Fajardo, CNA, brought many of her interesting animals for the residents and staff to see. Among the animals visiting were: Finches, Tarantula, Box Turtles, Snapping Turtle, Red Ear Turtle, Chinchilla, Raccoons, Bearded Dragon Lizard, and a Leopard Gecko Lizard. Everyone loved seeing and interacting with all the animals! The famous Bingo Volunteers, Helen Sinklear, Mary Lee Gingrich, Delores Burmeister, Margaret Lathrom, and Curtis Maupin, were here this afternoon. Those playing Bingo were Helen Griswold, Colleen Reid, Isabel Hutcherson, Virginia White, Dorothy Dee Daniel, Martha Mason, Marvin Burkhardt, Howard McConnell, Andy Yoder, Darrell McDowell, and Frank Mason. The grand prize winners were Colleen, Darrell, and Marvin. We enjoyed an evening of patriotic music with Susan Bentley. Susan played the piano for us and we also played Name That Tune. Before she left, Susan gave each resident an American flag in remembrance of Memorial Day. Tuesday morning, Harold Dean and Myrna Carothers entertained the residents with their amazing singing and piano playing. After lunch, the wonderful ladies from the St.Patrick’s Catholic Church hosted our monthly birthday party. They served cake and ice cream, and also played Bingo with the residents.

The residents picked out flowers for all the window boxes and planters at the Care Center before returning home. Bill Lear & Friends came out this evening and sang for the residents. We love their music! Clark Dobbs, from the Macon First Baptist Church, led Bible study Friday morning. Clark told us that our relationships would thrive much better if we would focus on how we could serve others instead of how others could serve us. We were blessed by the members and leaders of the Stringtown 4-H club today. They came over and helped plant all the flower boxes and planters. They did a great job and we appreciate all they did for us! Holly and the residents played Snack Bingo this afternoon. The grand prize winners were Howard McConnell, Dorothy Dee Daniel, and Ruth Jones. Ronnie Shores visited with the residents Saturday morning and shared his collection of music and story cd’s. The residents watched “Forrest Gump” during Movie Time with Darrell this afternoon. We would like to express our very deepest sympathy to the family and friends of Lois Yost. As we go into Memorial Day weekend, may we remember all the brave men and women that gave their lives for our country, and those that have served, and are still serving, our great country. May God Bless each of them and their families for the many sacrifices they’ve made to protect our freedoms. Have a wonderful week!

The Shepherd Calls
by Dr. H. Wade Paris
Life is like a Symphony “The symphony is on television,” she said. My wife was calling from upstairs. She knows I like the symphony and thought I might want to tune in. I did. I am fond of “long hair” music, and it is difficult to find in our mod culture. I watched and listened, absorbed in the rhythmic beauty. A symphony is a microcosm of life as it ought to be. The cameras panned the musicians; they were young, old, short, tall, thin, fat, and varied in ethnicity. There they were banded together, each person with their own specialty making delightful music. I’ve never played in a symphony, though I did “play at” drumming in a band once. My guess is when you play your instrument in the symphony, you concentrate on your part but are keenly aware it is just a part, not the whole. You might wish to have a solo; but you know without the other musicians your part would be boring. Thus, you do your best with your instrument to make the whole performance better. As you do your best, you have confidence that your neighbor across the stage is doing the same; but you can’t hear him. I doubt seriously the tuba player can hear the flutes. Still, with faith you do your best. As you play, you realize this is why you spent all those hours learning, practicing so you can make beautiful music. This part of your life has come around, and you are fulfilled. Here is the kicker. You are doing all this for someone else. There is satisfaction in your accomplishment; but you don’t hear the total sound, i.e. the finished symphony. In short, all your preparation and all your work has been done for someone else’s benefit; but still, you are pleased, proud. Life, is designed to be like that---one symphony with many parts. The Apostle Paul might have said it this way, “The piccolo player should never think, “Since I am not a tuba and my sound is small, I have no place.” Even worse, the piccolo player should never say, “That tuba is a loud show off. We don’t need him.” My imagination was running wild (as it often does) listening to the symphony. What an irony it was. The symphony was the epitome of life at its best; yet, it was performing because of life at its worst. It was playing to honor fallen soldiers, those killed in war because humanity cannot get along. ing marriage to Cameron Potts on July 11, Katy will move to Concord, NC, where she will begin graduate school in the fall at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte to study Clinical Mental Health Counseling. Ben graduated May 19, 2015, from Johnston High School, Johnston, IA. While in high school, Ben played basketball for two years and soccer for four years. He was active in his church youth group and Fellowship of Christian Athletes. During his senior year, Ben served as a member of the Bankers Trust Youth Board. Ben will continue working at Scheels and will attend the University of Iowa in the fall where he plans to study Marketing and Finance.(Photo submitted by Jo Harrison)

The BMC Raiders opened up sectional play inside the friendly confines of their home field in Bucklin. The sun poked through the clouds and bathed the field in sunlight. The South Nodaway Longhorns came up to the plate to face the Raiders ace pitcher River Wright. River went right to work shutting down the Longhorns with two strikeouts. In the BMC half inning, River was able to reach base with a walk following two outs, then Dakota Peterson singled but was picked off at first. Neither team was able to get much offense going until the BMC third. Jarod Poor was hit by a pitch and was followed by a walk to Ethan Pulliam, then with one out Wright singled to load the bases. But the bags remained full of Raiders when the inning ended. In the 4th the Longhorns drew first blood on a two run homer to lead 2-0. BMC responded, with one out Jerry Anders singled to left, then with two outs Poor walked. Pulliam hit an infield single to score Anders, followed by another infield single by Brady Duncan that scored Poor. Wright would give the Raiders the lead with a line drive off the centerfield fence and the score was 3-2. Wright kept the Longhorns off the scoreboard in the 5th and the Raiders extended their lead in the bottom of the inning. Tim Ware walked and was chased home on a homerun to left center by Justin Thomas for a 5-2 lead. In the 6th the Raiders closed out the scoring and the victory. Pulliam walked, Wright was hit by a pitch, Peterson
The Atlanta Hornets started their path to the State Finals on a wet humid field at North Shelby. As always
the Atlanta sideline was a sea of royal blue as the Atlanta faithful turned out in force. Collan Thrasher took the mound for the Hornets and promptly shutdown the Raiders. In the bottom of the inning the Hornets threatened with walks to Chase Wait and Marty Halley, but the inning ended with them standing at second and third. In the top of the second Garrett West continued to flash some leather with a diving catch as he slid across the wet grass. The Hornets went down 1-2-3 so Thrasher answered with bookend strikeouts to keep the game scoreless. Halley was hit by a pitch in the 3rd and was caught stealing trying to get into scoring position at second base. The Raiders first hitter singled but like Atlanta was gunned down at 2nd. Thrasher sent down the next two batters swinging at the plate. In the Hornets 4th, Lane Waddle singled to center but was forced out at second on the next play. Thrasher who replaced Waddle at first broke for second and stole the base. West was hit by the pitch and the runners advanced to 2nd and 3rd on a wild pitch. Like in the first, the inning ended with them standing on the bases. Thrasher continued his dominance striking out the side. Neither team were able to produce any offense until the Hornets 6th. With one out Waddle slammed the ball into the right centerfield gap that rolled to the fence for a double. A groundout sent Waddle to third and North Shelby walked West to first with a free pass to put runners on the corners. For the third time that night they could not reach home with two runners on and the score stayed 0-0. Thrasher gave up a walk to the Raiders in the 7th but sent the other three Raiders back to the bench shaking their heads after striking out. The Hornets could not get anything rolling in the 7th offensively so Thrasher again responded by striking out the side in the 8th as the game went to extra innings. Halley walked and took 2nd base on a wild pitch with one out. He broke for third attempting a steal but was gunned down
singled in Pulliam, Robertson singled in Wright, Anders was hit by a pitch to load the bases. Thomas would draw a walk and send Peterson home with the 8th and final run. BMC won the game with a convincing 8-2 final and a trip to quarterfinals. The Raiders made the long trip south to Hughesville to continue play in the state tournament against the Mustangs. The Mustangs offense game into the contest smoking hot having scored 12 runs in their sectional game to end the contest earlier against Northeast. The offense did not let up on the Raiders. The Mustangs took a 2-0 lead in the first inning on a homerun. In the BMC first inning, the first three Raiders reached Poor walked, Duncan and Wright singled and after one inning the score was 2-2. The Mustangs took the lead back in the second highlighted by a 3 run homer. BMC went to their half of the third inning trailing 8-2. The Raiders cut into the lead by scoring four runs. Robertson drove in two with a single and the Raiders tallied two more on RBI singles from Ware and Anders to make the score 8-6. The Mustangs would add four runs in the forth to bring the score to 12-6 Northwest. The Raiders were not able to dent the scoreboard again over the next few innings and their season came to an end with the 12-6 final. Great year Raiders and a high expectations for next season.
Atlanta
by the Raiders. Waddle walked but was held at first to end the inning with the game still scoreless. In the 9th, one Raider was able to reach 2nd on a hit by pitch and a stolen base but Thrasher ended the inning on his 19th strikeout “he showed what it means to dominate a game” Coach Pfeiffer. West led off the bottom of the inning and went to 2nd and third on wild pitches. Korbin Gunnels came to the plate and ripped the ball through the infield for the game winning hit and punched the Atlanta ticket to the quarterfinals to the roar of the Hornet’s fans. It was now on to New Franklin and a date with the number one seated Bulldogs. Garret West took the bump for the Hornets and sent the first pitch over the plate for a strike. The Bulldogs were able to get runners to 2nd and 3rd on a base hit a walk and a balk. West kept them there with his first strikeout to end the inning. The Hornets came out swinging, Wait walked with one out. Waddle singled to right center driving in Wait for the first run of the game. Thrasher came to the plate and drove the ball on a line over the left field fence for a 3-0 lead. The Bulldogs changed pitchers and was greeted by a single from Halley and a forced error at second off the bat of Trace Johnston. Tylor Johnston singled to load the bases but the Hornets were held to the three runs. In the Bulldog second inning, two singles put runners on base. The Bulldogs first run came on a bunt fielder’s choice and a two run error. Gunnels made a great play at third with a diving stop and throwing a runner out at the plate. It was not enough to stem the tide completely as the Bulldogs recorded back to back hits and had a 5-3 lead. After the Hornets were held scoreless in the 2nd the Bulldogs looked to add to their lead. They loaded the bases on two singles and a walk but West struck out the last Bulldog to finish striking out the side. In the 3rd Halley reached on an error to 2nd and was followed by a single to left by Trace Johnston. They were held there with the Bulldogs maintaining the 5-3 lead. The Hornets returned to the plate in the 4th, West singled to center to lead off and moved to 2nd on a wild pitch. With one out Waddle singled and stole second. On
a pitch in the dirt West broke for home but was out trying to score. Thrasher walked and stole second and with two outs Halley singled to center to make the score 5-4. In the bottom of the 5th the Bulldogs changed pitchers again and were greeted by a double to left by Gunnels. With one out West tied the game on a single to left center. After a walk to Wait, Waddle came to the plate and drove the ball into center for the lead and Atlanta took the lead back at 6-5. West continued to shut down the Bulldogs at the plate and the Hornets returned to the dish looking to extend the lead. Thrasher walked to lead off and moved to second on an infield single by Trace Johnston. Gunnels put the cherry on top for the Hornets again with a booming double to right scoring Thrasher for a 7-5 advantage. Thrasher took the mound in the 7th in relief of West and mowed down the Bulldogs by striking out the side to complete the victory. The Hornets punched their ticket to St. Louis.

Cleola Fajardo, CNA, brought many of her interesting animals for the residents and staff to see. Among the animals visiting were: Finches, Tarantula, Box Turtles, Snapping Turtle, Red Ear Turtle, Chinchilla, Raccoons, Bearded Dragon Lizard, and a Leopard Gecko Lizard. Everyone loved seeing and interacting with all the animals! The famous Bingo Volunteers, Helen Sinklear, Mary Lee Gingrich, Delores Burmeister, Margaret Lathrom, and Curtis Maupin, were here this afternoon. Those playing Bingo were Helen Griswold, Colleen Reid, Isabel Hutcherson, Virginia White, Dorothy Dee Daniel, Martha Mason, Marvin Burkhardt, Howard McConnell, Andy Yoder, Darrell McDowell, and Frank Mason. The grand prize winners were Colleen, Darrell, and Marvin. We enjoyed an evening of patriotic music with Susan Bentley. Susan played the piano for us and we also played Name That Tune. Before she left, Susan gave each resident an American flag in remembrance of Memorial Day. Tuesday morning, Harold Dean and Myrna Carothers entertained the residents with their amazing singing and piano playing. After lunch, the wonderful ladies from the St.Patrick’s Catholic Church hosted our monthly birthday party. They served cake and ice cream, and also played Bingo with the residents. The grand prize winners were Dorothy Dee Daniel, Marvin Burkhardt, Martha Mason, and Frank Mason. Holly and the residents played the card game, SkipBo, Wednesday morning. Ruth Jones won the most games. Holly led Bible study this afternoon. She read a devotion from Daily Hope with Rick Warren. The devotion title was “Sow Selflessness and Reap Eternal Life”.

This afternoon, Holly and Janet, along with Colleen Reid, Hooley Sanford, Frank Bowen, Virgie Engle, and Marvin Burkhardt, went to the Shelbina Greenhouse. Their flowers were absolutely gorgeous!!! The residents picked out flowers for all the window boxes and planters at the Care Center before returning home. Bill Lear & Friends came out this evening and sang for the residents. We love their music! Clark Dobbs, from the Macon First Baptist Church, led Bible study Friday morning. The topic of study was “Stick with Service”. Scripture was read from Galatians 5:13-15; 6:1-5,10. Clark told us that our relationships would thrive much better if we would focus on how we could serve others instead of how others could serve us. We were blessed by the members and leaders of the Stringtown 4-H club today. They came over and helped plant all the flower boxes and planters. They did a great job and we appreciate all they did for us! Holly and the residents played Snack Bingo this afternoon. The grand prize winners were Howard McConnell, Dorothy Dee Daniel, and Ruth Jones. Ronnie Shores visited with the residents Saturday morning and shared his collection of music and story cd’s. The residents watched “Forrest Gump” during Movie Time with Darrell this afternoon. We would like to express our very deepest sympathy to the family and friends of Lois Yost. As we go into Memorial Day weekend, may we remember all the brave men and women that gave their lives for our country, and those that have served, and are still serving, our great country. May God Bless each of them and their families for the many sacrifices they’ve made to protect our freedoms. Have a wonderful week!

Local Student Awarded $1,500 America’s Farmers Grow Ag Leaders Scholarship
Atlanta C-3 High School student Christina Pennington has been awarded a $1,500 scholarship from America’s Farmers Grow Ag Leaders, a new program sponsored by the Monsanto Fund. Pennington, of Atlanta, plans to attend the University of Missouri in the fall to study agricultural business management. She currently grows and sells vegetables at a local farmers’ market, putting the money she earns toward her education. “Christina is a farm girl, 100 percent,” said Susan Marsh, FFA advisor at Atlanta C-3 High School. “She is a great student, very organized and personable, and I know she will make great use of the scholarship.” The future of agriculture relies on talented young people like Pennington to fill thousands of jobs in a variety of fields, such as plant science, engineering, communications, finance and more. Grow Ag Leaders encourages rural youth to remain in agriculture and provides scholarships to support their education. Grow Ag Leaders scholarships, administered by the National FFA Organization, are available to high school seniors and college students pursuing degrees in ag-related fields. To be considered, each applicant is required to receive endorsements from at least three local farmers. Thanks to farmers and a successful six-state pilot launch in 2014, the program was expanded across the country. With support from the Monsanto Fund, more than $500,000 in scholarships has been awarded to students this year. America’s Farmers Grow Ag Leaders is part of the America’s Farmers initiative. Since 2010, the America’s Farmers campaign and programs have advocated on behalf of farmers and their efforts to meet society’s needs through agriculture. Today, consumers Pictured from left to right: Christina Penningare more interested than ever in agriculture ton (winning scholar) and Jacob Schneider (Monsanto DSM). and how food is grown.

Back into Town. Taylor Lay
The cost of war, and who pays it. War is a matter full of opportunity costs. Mass media rarely shows the public the gruesome side of battle, and the military often fails to keep an accurate record of lives sacrificed. People die at shocking numbers in every war without our knowledge. We tend to be blind to the economic, psychological, and physical costs of war. It is a part of human history and we, as Americans, have faced several wars since we became a nation. Internationally we are seen as powerful war leaders with our advanced military equipment and technology. I think the most successful factors that have led to our powerful reputation are the men and women who courageously fight for our country. It’s an honorable deed, but at what cost? Treatment and assistance for veterans is lacking and the outlook for care in future years is grimmer than one may anticipate. According to Brown University’s Cost of War Project, the burdens of these wars that have fallen on veterans and their families. Veterans need many forms of support and health care to deal with a range of injuries – psychological and physical.

of Iraq/Afghanistan veterans have been diagnosed with PTSD.

The Project states that veterans face difficulty receiving care due to a variety of problems: inadequate funding, overwhelming demand for health care and social services, the military’s arbitrary restrictions on allowing civilian health care providers to step forward and participate in military insurance programs, the public’s lack of understanding of what returning veterans have gone through, and the military’s offloading of care onto family members without compensating them. John Gaughan, 84, was drafted in 1951 to the Korean War. He served as a motor sergeant, maintenance and repair to military vehicles and equipment. During his time in Korea, John said he experienced an unexpected blow to the head during incoming rounds of ammunition. He said he doesn’t remember what struck him in the head but it left him with severe short and long-term memory loss. John said it has affected his memories of his wife and 8 children. Gaughan said he is 100 percent disabled and receives a monetary stipend from the government, which is not enough for him to live on. He said he travels to St. Louis to meet with his V.A. representative, who is also a veteran, to discuss assistant qualifications and how John is doing. “He has gone to bat for me more than once and taken my side,” Gaughan said. “That’s one reason I’m 100 percent disabled and still receiving compensation. Veterans looking out for veterans.” Gaughan said he sympathizes for the soldiers who are coming back from the war today. He said his brother served in the Iraq war and almost refused to talk about his experiences. He said he didn’t know what his brother saw during battle but it must have been impactful. A 2013 report from the Harvard Kennedy School estimates that spent or accrued costs for post-9/11 veterans’ medical and disability care are already $134.3 billion, and may run as high as $970.4 billion by 2053. The U.S. Government Accountability Office says the average time for VA to process disability compensation claims rose to 260 days in 2012, partly because of delays in receiving medical records from other federal agencies and shortcomings of VA’s claims processing system. Robert Herbert, author of Losing Our Way, discusses the economic strains that are placed on society during war. He said there is no way to minimize or finesse the financial cost of America’s obligations to care for those troops; the U.S. will be paying them for decades. Veterans have put their lives on the line for our country. We could do more for our veterans as a society. Step back into the community and fight for those who have fought for us.

About Me
Greetings! I’m Taylor Lay and I will be interning for the Home Press this summer. A little bit about myself, I am a senior at Truman State University studying communication with a minor in business. I write for the university paper at Truman and I have experience covering city and Truman administration news. I enjoy writing about politics, current events, and social issues. I studied abroad last fall in France and it taught me the importance of issues that affect us on a larger scale. What happens in our local, state, national governments or across the world have an effect on us locally. My aim for my section of the paper is to ask viewers to “Step Back into Town” and become invested in the topics that affect all of us as a community.
John Gaughan, 84, lives in Macon Mo. and currently resides at Loch Haven Senior Living Community center. John served in the Korean War and currently seeks assistance for his war injuries.

TLC for Patients and Families At Valley View Health & Rehabilitation, when one person cares for another, it’s more than a profession. It’s a relationship. One based on experience as well as empathy. It is a blending of high-tech with high-touch. It is a relationship nourished by understanding. We seek to understand each patient as the person he or she is; keeping in mind not only the individual’s health needs, but moreover, the individual as a whole. With this core philosophy, we seek to help patients and their families through what can be a very emotional decision-making process. We provide guidance and consultation on everything from how to choose the facility that’s right for you to providing resources that help you cope with the nature of the decision itself. At the end of the day, our goal is to be here for you to provide as much or as little support as you desire or need. If we can help ease your burden or those of your loved ones, even a little, we will have performed our duties well.

Bits From Bucklin MAXINE REMEMEBERS Today we have another bit of the article Maxine Lindley Bunton wrote in the year 1991. We have learned a lot about Bucklin in the 1930’s and 1940’s. Several of the vacant business buildings along Bucklin’s main street were being demolished. As this took place Maxine remembered when she was a young lady and these businesses were thriving. Maxine writes: Cam Lawson’s store was principally a grocery store but it had a lot of useful hardware items and even men’s work clothing. Mr. Lawson’s store was the company store for the coal miners. Bucklin had an active coal mine then, and the miners could “flicker” on their pay checks at Lawson’s. I cannot find the expression “flicker” in the dictionary but I am certain that it is the expression used. I always thought that was an exciting word, “flicker”. It would really have been neat to walk into a store and buy something and say, “I’ll just flicker this on my check.” This meant of course that I would bring my next check to Mr. Lawson and he would cash it for me and give me what was left after my bills were taken out. It was not a new concept, but it had a fascinating name. The house I live in today was built by Mr. Lawson. I understand that Mrs. Lawson never liked it and after they sold it to us they moved to an apartment over the store. I believe that Charley Powell was the builder of this house and I have always loved it. Note: Today Terry and Marilyn Epperly live in this nice home at 42 Oak Street having bought it from Mrs. Bunton when she could no longer maintain it As was mentioned in previous weeks Mrs. Maxine Lindley Bunton passed away on May 20th, 2012. HAPPENING IN JUNE June 1st through 5th, Community Vacation Bible School at the Christian Church beginning at 5:00 with supper served at 5:00 p m for students and staff.

How Weather
Jerking for Crappie
What to Look for in
Tips for Catching White Bass
One of the most important
One of America’s most popular gamefish is the white bass. The most exciting time to fish for them is during their annual spring spawning run up streams and rivers. When water temperatures reach the low 50s, whites start moving upstream, out of the lakes and reservoirs, until they reach a dam or other obstacle that blocks their travel. Here they stack up and continually gorge themselves, waiting for the magic 55-degree mark to complete their spawn. Hungry, aggressive white bass aren’t too picky about what they will eat, but 1/8- to 1/4-ounce curlytail or hair jigs are most popular, with in-line spinners coming in a close second. White is usually best, but chartreuse, yellow, pink, and other bright shades will work, too. I like using a lightweight spinning reel on a 7-foot softtip rod with a stout butt and 4- to 6-pound test line. What I like most of all, though, is frying up a limit of these good-eating fish.

Bucklin City Council
Bucklin City Council met May 13th, 2015 at the Bucklin City Hall with the following present. Mayor Leighton Reid, Council persons: Larry Daniels, Bailey Frye, Kim Harrison and Larry Mills, Clerk John Wright, Water and Street Superintendent Robert Walters, Greg Noah, Frances Jenkins, Lynn Shipley, Jim Kosman, Ed Kitchen, Megan McCune and Steve Herriman. Mayor Reid called the meeting to order at 5:00 p m. Motion to approve April 8th and April 13th minutes made, seconded and approved. Motion to approve and pay bills made seconded and approved. Lynn Shipley came before the council and advised them security cameras in the park were up and running. Council advised that if any incident happened in the park to contact Marshal Wright to look at the tape first so as not to compromise any evidence. Frances Jenkins asked council if a flag could be put up at the cemetery. Mayor Reid advised he had been contacted by Myrna Molloy and she was looking into getting donations for this project. Jenkins also asked about the water that was being pumped out of 48 Oak Street as it was making a muddy mess and that the resident could run the water somewhere else. Council advised her they would notify city attorney and have him look into it. Motion was made, seconded and approved to put up a city bulletin board next to city hall. Motion was made to have Megan McCune set up a city web site at the cost of $100.00. Motion was seconded and carried. Motion was made, seconded and approved to have City Sign Design install a new logo on city hall window at the cost of
$120.00. Motion was made seconded and approved to have the city clerk become a notary public. Walters advised council he was using Steve McDowell at Marceline to test sewer samples and that would save time and money. Walters also told the council the gate at the city lake was coming along but was not finished as he was waiting on a part. Assistant Fire Chief Steve Herriman came before the council and said they need AED batteries. Clerk Wright will look into this and get them. Herriman also felt the fire department needed a gas card as it was hard to find anyone if a fire was late at night. After a long discussion council felt a card should be given to Fire Chief Noah. If Noah was out of town then pass it to the next in command. Herriman also asked if firemen could run blue lights and siren now. After some discussion the council felt this would be all right as long as vehicles using them did not abuse them and did not break the posted speed limit. Alderwoman Harrison asked about yards that needed to be mowed. Marshal Wright advised that he would make contact with them and advise them to mow and if they did not other action would be taken. Motion was made, seconded and carried to go into executive session. Motion made, seconded and carried to come out of executive session. Water and Street Superintendent Walters advised council he was resigning as of June 1, 2015. He will finish the gate project and will help out when he could.

Clarence Chronicles
by Patty Truitt
Saturday was a great day for me and I spent the day going back in time more than once. Saturday was the City Wide Garage Sale in Callao. My family has always been around the Bevier and Callao area so both towns are Home for me. I went to Callao early and first stop was at the Callao 36 &3 Cafe. There was a big sale in the parking lot and I got to talk with some friends I used to work with. The first person I saw was Raylene Poor and her husband Roy. We chatted for a while and I got some good buys. Across the street to the East is a house that used to be a gas station with a 2-room house in the back. When I was little, the station was run by my aunt Elsie Grable Yount. I am inclosing a picture of her at the station. The picture was taken in the forties. The station in the picture was north of the highway and is now gone. I then went to my daughter Laura’s and Granddaughter Katherine. To get to their house you go north on Hwy 3 to the 4 way stop. The building there used to be the Callao Bank. My sister-in-law Joan Cross worked at the bank for several years, I used to bank there because Joan was there. Laura lives West 2 blocks from the bank. Her house was a bed and breakfast before she bought it and years ago was a funeral home. Now it is just her home. We visited for a few minutes and I was on to more sales. After I was finished with garage sales I went to Mt. Zion Cemetery North of Callao. By the entrance some of my family are buried.. My Dad and Mom, Chester and Ruth Grable,
and my Grandma Anna Grable. I put pink Peonies on Mom and Daddies grave and Lavender Iris on Grandmas. She loved Iris and lavender was her favorite color. On the other side of the cemetery are barred my Grandpa Alfred Grable and stepgrandma Anna and my Aunt Elsie Grable. I so do miss all of these people and when I take flowers I walk around and stay for a while. I headed home but I always have to stop at Bevier as that is my Home. I went by the houses I have lived in there and then I stopped at the old Zuccarini Grocery Store. The store is now owned by Matt Cross. He is a very nice person and has a great store as it is like it has been since the 50’s. I bought a pound of Bologna and a pound of Liver cheese. I was happy as I stopped in Macon for a few things and home. When I got home I made me a lover cheese sandwich and got a can of pop. I very seldom drink soda but I had to have it to go with my lunch. I took one bite and I was 15 again. When I was 15 I may have skipped school a time or two. Maybe I skipped an afternoon or two. My friend was Thena Berry and we were very bored with the afternoon classes in the Spring of 61. We had lunch money everyday and a time or two we would go to lunch and on to her house on the south of Bevier. We would stop by the Grocery store of August Zuccarini and get a bottle of Coke Cola and a pack of cigarettes. As soon as we made our purchase Zook would say, ‘now you girls can’t have cigarettes and coke for dinner, do you want a bologna or a liver cheese sandwich.” I always wanted liver cheese and he would cut a thick slice, put it on 2 slices of Rainbow bread and wrap it up in the white paper he wrapped meat in. We would leave and go to Thenas, where we ate our sandwiches, and drank our Coke. Then we would smoke cigarettes and watch soap operas. I don’t think Zook ever told my Mom I bought cigarettes or skipped school. As old guys go Zook was real cool and even thought my folks ran a bill there he never added on the price of my sandwiched and he gave me lots of them. I miss those days and I miss afternoons with Thena, although the last thing I ever want to do is smoke cigarettes, I quit 22 years ago and I haven’t watched a soap opera for about 30 years, but that sandwich and a soda was like going home again. Sunday I went to Sunday School and Church and the youth served dinner to help them make money for their Mission trip this summer. Did you know the government, our friend, is trying to stop Bake Sales, Church Dinners, carry-ins, and Farmers Markets. Some big chief in the inspecting of these things say none of this food is prepared in a state inspected kitchen. I do be all of this food is prepared in a cleaner kitchen than some of the places I have worked. Enough said. Monday morning I visited with my friend Brenda Sizemore. She had some of her grandchildren visiting with here and we had lots to talk about. Brenda had gone fishing with her family on Sunday afternoon and they had caught several fish. In the late afternoon I took Cody for a long walk and no one was outside. I saw empty patios and porches, but no people. What happened? I have always lived outside in the Summer, my patio is my favorite room. I love Summer.

First Baptist Church Celebrates 175 Years First Baptist Church of La Plata is celebrating its 175th anniversary this year. The church was first formed in 1840, in Blanket Grove, about two miles north and east of LaPlata. The founder and first pastor was Archibald Talbert Hite. Like many of the early settlers in this part of the state, he came from Kentucky where he was born in 1803. The Blanket Grove congregation of about 80 persons built a building in La Plata in 1867, just after the Civil War. The building was made of native clay brick, and crumbled over time. A new wooden structure was built in 1868 on the land donated by Rev. John Roan, member of the church and former pastor. This land is the site of the current church. In 1917 a wing was built on the north side of the building. An educational building was added to the east side of the church in the late 1960s. Then in 1975-76, the old building was dismantled and the present building was erected. In 2009, the Family Life Center was built and dedicated. The church is celebrating this 175th anniversary by having a Birthday Party in the Park on July 4, 1-4 p.m. There will be lots of games and activities, including a Bounce House. There will be a pottery demonstration by
Jay Stockham at 1:00, 1:45, and 2:30. At 3:00 the Dysart Family will perform in concert. They were voted one of the Top 10 New Mixed Groups in the 2014 Singing News Fan Awards. Everyone is invited to bring lawn chairs and enjoy ice cream & cake, snow cones, popcorn, games and more. This should be a great day for your family to celebrate with the La Plata Baptist Church family. On Sunday afternoon at 2:00 in the church sanctuary, there will be an anniversary service. Many former pastors and friends are coming and all are invited to participate in this special service of thanksgiving, memories, and good music. Other activities are planned for later in the year including the fall revival with Don Walton and John Gorham, October 4-7.

Bevier Part 2
9B
By Merlyn Amidei, Macon County Historical Society Besides the mines, Bevier is also known for the railroads. The Hannibal & St. Joseph went through Bevier in 1858. One of the worst railroad accidents in the history of the line happened on March 1, 1881 in Macon County. At 3 a.m. the westbound night passenger train was getting close to the Wardell Mine about a half mile east of Bevier. It was running at full speed when the engine and all the cars except the sleeper left the track and tumbled into the ditch. An extra train was ordered from Brookfield for help with all the injured and debris. A little after 5 a.m. the wrecking train with derrick, a force of bridge and section hands, medical supplies, two doctors and a host of volunteers were dispatched to the wreckage site. As the train reached the Brush Creek truss bridge three miles west of New Cambria the train hit a broken rail. The engine cleared the rail but all the other cars plummeted into the creek below. The cars caught fire and the scene was a burning inferno. At the end of the day there were 52 survivors but about three times that amount were killed. In 1898 when the Kansas & Texas Railroad was incorporated it was constructed from Ardmore to Bevier with another line going to Excello. It was a 10 mile line to Bevier and was said to be “the busiest 10 miles ever”. That continued until 1902 when the K&T merged with the Louisiana line to become the Missouri & Louisiana Railroad. They put in a Roundhouse located in the car storage and repair facility. Then in 1914 the Missouri portion acquired the name of Bevier & Southern when the M&L dissolved. The B&S operated two round trips daily for passengers. The mail and passenger service discontinued in 1926 after the post offices in Keota and
Ardmore closed. The B&S purchased the 112 Mogul new in 1920 and it was retired in December 1962. Today it sits at the site of the old Northwestern Coal & Coke Building in downtown Bevier. The motto of the train was “Have Train – Will Haul” and that is printed on the side. The B&S was the last railroad in Missouri to give up steam engines. It went out of business in 1982. Besides the 112 on exhibit in Bevier, the 109 is now on display in an Illinois Railroad Museum at Steamtown. The line was reopened again in 1990 and is now known as the BNSF – Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Railroad. They built a new line to go to the Thomas Hill Reservoir. A cornet band led by Hernamm Peukert in the 1880’s was popular throughout the countryside. He was offered a membership with the John Phillip Sousa’s famous band; however, he wanted to stay in Bevier. Peukert conducted several bands and he always had a rule for his players. The member had to “conduct himself in a gentlemanly manner so as to avoid the possibility of any derogatory comment about the conduct of his band in any way.” Music and dancing has always been popular in Bevier but in the 1930’s-1960’s on Saturdaynights it was a swinging place. Joyland was strictly for dancing, but Johnny and Teresa’s, Cottonwood, Maggie and Johnny’s, and Palestino’s all had a dance floor and also served food. In fact, Palestino’s was the first eating establishment on Highway 36 between Hannibal and St. Joseph. “In the early days Cokes were a nickel and when you could get it, a quart of home brew cost 25 cents.” Home brew and bootlegging could be a Part 3 for Bevier, but I won’t be writing about that. However, I have sure
found some interesting articles in the old papers! Each year Bevier’s population skyrockets in August as people return from all over the United States for the Bevier Homecoming. It is one time people can see and hear Nashville music in person for free. The only expense is if you want to enjoy a ride or game at the carnival or a famous Bevier hamburger! Not only is it the town’s reunion time, but it is also
a time when class reunions and family reunions are held. Several of these classes and families are in the homecoming parade each year. It all started in 1929 and continues today. When the carnival sets up and the lawn chairs are set out at the park, anywhere from five to fifteen thousand people will be in Bevier. What is the draw that brings them all back? There’s always a mystery in history!
We’re a summer vacation’s best friend.

Missouri Road Trip 2015 Every Hero Has A Story:
S
ome baseball players are remembered for what they did on the field, others for what they did off it. Buck O’Neil deserves to be remembered for both. Born John Jordan O’Neil, the man known to most as “Buck” was a first baseman in the Negro Leagues. Before Jackie Robinson broke baseball’s color barrier, the Negro Leagues offered an opportunity for talented African-American ballplayers to showcase their skills.
Buck is most often associated with the Kansas City Monarchs franchise, for which he played from 1938-43 and again from 1946-55 (his baseball career was put on hold while he served in the U.S. Navy during World War II). Toward the end of his career, he served the dual role as player/manager. From 1939 to 1942, the Monarchs won four straight Negro American League pennants. In 1942, in the first World Series played between the Negro American League and the Negro National League, Buck hit .353 as the Monarchs swept the
Buck O’Neil
Homestead Grays.
After the war, Buck returned to Kansas City and his hot-hitting ways, batting .353 for the entire season and winning the Negro American League’s batting title in 1946. As manager, Buck guided the Monarchs to five pennants and managed in four consecutive all-star games from 1951-54. Although he never made it to the big leagues as a player, Buck became the first African-American coach in major league history when he joined the Chicago Cubs in 1962. A man with an eye for talent, Buck’s scouting skills helped him – and the Cubs – land the likes of Ernie Banks and Lou Brock, two players who ultimately made it to the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y.
Later in his career, Buck served as a special scout for his hometown team, the Kansas City Royals. It was in Kansas City where Buck sought to preserve the stories and history of the Negro Leagues, serving as the chairman of the board – and a leading spokesman for – the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum. Buck O’Neil was born Nov. 3, 1911, in Carrabelle, Fla. By the age of 12, he was playing semipro baseball. When he was barred from playing baseball at his high school in Sarasota, Fla., because of his race, he enrolled in a nearby college and earned his high school diploma and two years of college. Buck O’Neil died at the age of 94 on Oct. 6, 2006, in Kansas City.

Today, thanks to Buck’s dedication and perseverance, the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum in Kansas City honors the legacy of the men and women who were denied the right to play baseball – or be involved with the game in other ways – on the basis of race. Exhibits include everything from
autographed baseballs and memorabilia to stories on great players such as Robinson, Satchel Paige, Josh Gibson, “Cool Papa” Bell and others. One of the most popular exhibits at the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum is a replica playing field with statues of talented players assigned to their respective positions. In fitting tribute, Buck O’Neil oversees action on that field from the manager’s post.
Points of Interest J Buck O’Neil was inducted into the Hall of Famous Missourians in the Missouri State Capitol at Jefferson City in 2012.
