Traffic Stop Turns Into Manhunt
Ron Gillett, Moberly Missouri THE HOME PRESS IS EXCITED TO BRING YOU OUR FIRST REGIONAL ISSUE! MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT NEAR GOLDSBERRY SENDS MAN TO HOSPITAL According to the Missouri State Highway Patrol a Moberly man Cisimir Shimke, age 35, was involved in a motorcycle accident in Macon County on Highway 149 near Goldsberry late Friday, August 3, 2012. Shimek, was traveling northbound when he tried to avoid small animals in the roadway and while attempting to do so, he fell off of his motorcycle. Shimek was transported to Samaritan Hospital in Macon with moderate injuries.
On Tuesday, July 31st a traffic stop was conducted on Highway E, north of La Plata. After the vehicle was pulled over the suspects fled resulting in a manhunt for the two fugitives in the area of the Santa Fe Lake in La Plata. Drugs were also found in the vehicle. One individual was found and arrested on the property of Allen McElhinney. Jeffrey Sharp, 31, of Kirksville, was arrested and was also wanted on a Macon County warrant for a felony charge of receiving stolen property. The charge was filed after several stolen items were
discovered at a residence Sharp was living at in La Plata. Sharp is also facing felony charges of second degree assault and resisting arrest by fleeing in Adair County. He was released from custody on his own recognizance, in connection with that case on May 21st. Sharp remains in the Macon County Jail under $50,000 cash only bond. He is scheduled to make an appearance in Macon County Court on Thursday. He is set to appear in Adair County Court on Monday.
The second individual is still at large and the Macon and Adair County Sheriff Departments are asking for you to beware of strange people in your neighborhood and looking suspicious. The manhunt lasted all day on Tuesday and the Adair County Sheriff’s Department was assisted by the La Plata Police Department, Macon County Sheriff’s Department, Missouri State Highway Patrol, K-9 units, and a helicopter using a brush heat sensing unit and a fixed wing aircraft.

According to the Missouri State Highway Patrol, at 10:53 pm, a 2002 Chevorlet Trail Blazer, driven by Ashely Simpson, age 24, of Marceline, MO was westbound on Rt. JJ just 2 miles West of Marceline when she crossed the center line and struck a 2004 Chevorlet Impala driven by Zachary Cupp, age 17,
of Bucklin, MO. Simpson’s vehicle came to rest off the north side of the roadway facing south as the Cupp vehicle came to rest on the south side of the roadway facing southwest. Simpson was transported by Linn County ambulance to Pershing Memorial Hospital in Brookfield, MO with mod-
erate injuries. A passenger in Simpson’s vehicle, Katrice Sartain, age 27, of Marceline, MO was also transported to Pershing Memorial Hospital by Linn County Ambulance for minor injuries. Zachary Cupp was transported by Life Flight Eagle to University Hospital in Columbia, MO where he was pronounced de-
ceased. According to the Missouri State Highway Patrol, Simpson was arrested at 12:01 am for 1) Felony-Vehicular Involuntary Manslaughter while intoxicated; 2) Failure to drive on right half of roadway resulting in an accident. This is Troop B’s 23rd fatality accident of 2012.
TWO ARRESTED FOR METH IN MACON Friday August 3rd, 2012 at approximately 5:30 p.m. Macon County Sheriff’s Office Deputies attempted to serve an arrest warrant in the 1200 block of North Ruby St. in Macon. While searching the residence for the original suspect deputies detected a strong chemical odor coming from the residence, deputies also found visible evidence of methamphetamine production. Deputies applied for and received a search warrant for the property. Deputies located an active meth lab along
with evidence of multiple meth cooks and ongoing production inside and outside the home. Robert E. Lawson, age 41, of Macon was arrested for Production of a Controlled Substance – Methamphetamine (RSMo 195.211), Unlawful Use of Drug Paraphernalia - Meth (RSMo 195.233). Lawson remains in custody at the Macon County Jail unable to $150,000 cash only bond. Sheriff Dawson said “While conducting the search warrant a subject known
by the deputies to not have a driver’s license was observed driving by the residence. Deputies conducted a traffic stop, and located methamphetamine in the vehicle.” Jason Brower, age 35, of Macon was arrested for Operating a Motor Vehicle without a Valid License (RSMo 302.020) and Possession of a Controlled Substance – Methamphetamine (RSMo 195.202). Brower was processed at the Macon County Jail, and posted the required $10,000 surety bond.

Life And Times Of Jean Emily Clark Ray by Jean Ray Week 11 For previous copies of the Jean Ray story, contact The Home Press south edition at 111 N. Rollins St. Macon, MO 63552 or by calling (660)395HOME(4663) Because I worked in jewelry manufacturing I was able to purchase the engagement ring for half the price, and my boss gave me $100 toward it. Once again I started my bottom drawer and
planned on at least a one year engagement. Ray came to my home to ask father for my hand in marriage and he said yes and gave him his prize possession, a solid silver watch, chain and fob with a gold Victorian coin encased in a frame of gold. This surprised me because dad had never given any of his other sonin laws anything of value. He must have taken to him straight away. We did not eat too much at our house, of course mom was not a cook and neither was I.
When Ray come for the weekend we would go for long walks in the country which us limeys enjoyed and was a good pastime instead of staying in our little cramped up house. We did not have much money to spare but were able to buy some fish and chips with vinegar once in a while, as usual we stood in the shops doorway eating them. The shops did not have an eating area, just take away. Later when we were married Ray told me that he hated those long nature study walks, it
hurt his feet. Our aunt Emily from London invited us up to her home for the day. She had bought us a couple of Whitney blankets for a wedding present they were top of the line wool and we used them to save us from freezing. I will explain later on. Ray was fascinated by all of the different wines that she had made and one was made from dandelions, another potatoes. June Wild entered the picture again and would come with me to see Ray,
and there she met a fellow that remained a friend only. All of us would go to the trendy dance halls and have a great time, one of the songs we danced often to was Mr. Sandman. The Beatles were very popular back then creating huge swooning crowds. Later Elvis became popular as well. As we became older we learned to appreciate Elvis more than we did when he was younger. In the early summer Ray received his orders to ship out in May of nineteen
fifty seven, a change of plans was evident because of the time frame. I believe we had to be married six months before he left so that I could make the voyage with him and I did not have to pay. Back then it was tremendously expensive to travel, by sea or air neither one of us could come up with that kind of money, so we set the date of our marriage to December fifteen nineteen fifty six.

BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT
BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT “Opie’s Pub - Restaurant”
Opie’s is back in operation, just as it should be. Opening in September of 2007, the past few months the business has been closed in order for a move to town and a transformation of the business from Opie’s Pool Hall and Opie’s Steakhouse to just Opie’s. Now, being just Opie’s doesn’t mean that anything has changed, it’s just hard to fit all of the Opie’s experiences and extra curricular activities into one name. Moving from the outskirts of town, just south of Kirksville, Opie’s have moved into their new home located at 215 W. Washington Street in Kirksville, home to the former El’Spazio’s and years before that, Golden Ruler. Opie’s opened for business on Wednesday, August 1st and is serving food on a daily basis and welcoming in their former customers as well as looking forward to new ones. The difference between the old and the new is that Opie’s restaurant will now offer a daily hot plate special, a full bar will be provided and a hostess will meet you at the door. And of course, no smoking in the building. Ten pool tables are in house and support the Monday, Wednesday and Friday night pool leagues that play. In 2010 Opie’s was given the honor of being #4 in the Nations Pool Rooms in the Billiards Digest. Opies charges by the
hour, not by the game for play. On Tuesdays and Thursdays Opie’s is host the Missouri Legends Poker League. The league gathers at 6:30 and 8:30 for two games each evening. Play is on a point system, which in turn, if you can bluff good enough, can land you at Osage Beach in May playing in the bigger tournaments for cash prizes. Poker play is free and everyone is welcome to join. Along with his great steaks, Opie’s will carry a
full menu in the restaurant and each dinner or special is served with fresh bread, baked daily and if you aren’t full at the end you can add to your order with a great dessert such as cheesecake, chocolate tort or some ice cream. The restaurant will be open 7 days a week 11:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.. Hours may vary depending on patronage. So, if you are in the area, are hungry or just think you might want to play a game of pool or some poker Opie’s is the place to be. If you aren’t

in the mood for any of the above, just order a drink and relax in the cushioned conversation area and spend some time with friends. Opie’s owner, Randy Forquer II and his son, Matthew are eager to meet you and are looking forward to having you stop by and look around or have a meal. Congratulations on your move Opie and good luck in your new home.

COMMENTARY NORTH MISSOURI CHAPTER 228 AMERICAN LEGION RIDERS MEET
COMMENT
Blonde But Blunt BY BECKY JEFFCOAT EDITOR/PUBLISHER NORTH EDITION lpnews@marktwain.net
Well, I hope you are enjoying your FREE edition of The Home Press. This edition is the first of many that will be bigger and better and FREE to our readers. Of course we are hoping to generate new subscribers and new advertisers but we also wanted to reach out to the public and let them know that we are here and we are covering your local schools, communities and counties by keeping you informed of what’s going on around Northeast Missouri. Our sister papers have also sent their issue out to their communities just as we have. They are covering Knox, Ralls, Monroe and Lewis counties and we sent to Macon and Shelby. So we should have MOST of the NE Missouri area covered. Now on to more important things. LOL.... My column. Ever think that those things your parents taught you when you were younger, like... “don’t put that many keys on your keychain”, “turn off the lights when you leave a room”, “that chair has four legs for a reason”, “pick up your stuff ”, “do your homework” and my favorite, or least favorite then “always wear clean underwear”. Its funny how time passes and years later you are the one chanting those very same statements to your own kids. Oh my gosh!! I swear the kids have about 5 pounds of key chains and keys on their key rings, half of the keys don’t open anything or they forgot what they did open, but “hey mom, its cool”. Well okay, cool it is, but you can’t get those keys in your pockets and when your ignition switch goes out, don’t blame me. I remember my dad always harping on me for that one, because, yes, it’s true, when I was a teenage I did the very same thing. The worst thing I remember my mom ever making me do was.... when she took me to the store, she always made me try my new bra on, over my clothes. Wow, how embarrassing. But now I know why. First of all, you should never try on an undergarment in the store, such as a bra, who knows who else has tried it on and it needs washed before you wear it. Second, Mary Lou was always in a hurry. “Just slip it on over your shirt and see if it fits, no one is looking”, she’d say. Well, yup, you guessed it, I made Sara and Sammie Jo do it, just like that. LOL Wasn’t long before they didn’t want me to go shopping with them. Hehe! Boys, well that’s another story. They could give a rats tail (you know what I meant to say, just
JEFFCOAT can’t print it), about their clothes as long as they don’t have to go shopping with mom. The only the thing Skyler wanted to be with me to buy was shoes and caps. Seems there’s a statement with those. Oh, bother, it was so much simpler for me to just pick some out. But, nope. Gotta be a certain brand, a certain cap size and a flat bill, whatever that is. LOL And the shoes, oh goodness, first it was Jordan’s, then it was Nike, then it was Adidas and the last pair, I think K-Swiss. Well, he’s a 13 wide, so now he’s buying his own, doesn’t like them off the clearance rack where mom shops, but at that size, he doesn‘t like to pay for them either. Guess‘n he‘s feeling my pain. The lights? Go figure, Sara and Sammie Jo pay their own electric bills now, so it‘s “shut the door mom, the air‘s on“, or “did you leave the light on in the bathroom?” I swear, sometimes I do it on purpose just to see if they harp at me. And they do, so guess I raised them right, or at least some of the stuff I kneaded in their heads stayed there.. Oh, the things we’ve seen and the things we’ve done. Can’t wait for my kids to realize that all those things I made them do or did to them, they will one day be doing to their kids. Sammie Jo is already griping at me for the things I do for Quinci Jo, hehe, paybacks baby, paybacks!!! I tell them that when I grow old, I know, stop laughing, I’m already old, so I guess I mean, when I retire. Anywho I tell them that I’m gonna buy an RV, travel to each of their homes, stay a month or two , plug in to THEIR electricity, use THEIR washer/dryer and supplies, eat THEIR food, dirty THEIR dishes, fill up THEIR trash, watch THEIR tv and use THEIR shower and throw THEIR towels on the floor. I figure if I do that a couple times a year with each kid for the next, oh say 30 years, they might have paid me back for about, ummmmmm, ¼ of the money I’ve spent on them. Parenting is not cheap, but somehow I’m gonna get my moneys worth outta them. LOL Keep It Kool, Bec

From the Editors Desk BY KATHY LIEBHART EDITOR SOUTH EDITION kathy@maconhomepress.com
The weather broke enough to attend the Flywheel this year. We were glad to see the nice crowd that attended and supported the event. Wade and I took our 3 year old granddaughter and that girl didn’t miss a thing. She even participated in the pedal tractor pull and won 3rd place. I think that was her first time on a pedal tractor. A new game was invented at our house last week. We are always coming up with crazy games that usually end up being a hit. This particular game required finding handkerchiefs tied throughout the trail in the woods. The person that was “it” tied the handkerchiefs and waited at the cabin for a few minutes before going out and trying to find the others and take their handkerchief. If you made it back to the cabin with your handkerchief without being caught you were safe. Of course we are on 4 wheelers, rangers and dirt bikes, so catching one another is a little tough at times. Every year for the past 3 years we have hosted a digital scavenger hunt. Several have asked me about it this year, but un-
LIEBHART fortunately I don’t have the time. The hunt is the absolute best time and you can’t help yourself to get involved. We usually have 5 teams of 5-6 people each. I make a list of items and each team has so long to go out and get the photos, print them off and have them posted on their board for judging. Each team is assigned a color and must wear a bandana of that color or is disqualified. Some of the photos consist of 1) getting a drive thru employee to make faces at you 2) get a photo of your team playing leap frog with a stranger 3) get a gas receipt that equals .10) and many others. You never know what you will get into at our place, may be outside games or dodging a ball in the house but I can tell you the spur of the moment, made up games are the most fun and the memories will last forever!

FAITH II Timothy 1.12 For the which cause I suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day. Our minds should be made up about God before it is time to die. I can not think of anything more fearful than to die unsure of God’s existence. I want to be able to say with Paul [I know in whom I believe] my mind is made up, and I’m ready to go. I have talked with Him: He’s been in my house, my car, my church. He has walked through the hard times with me. He delivered me and brought me back among the living. I know in whom I believe; I have been persuaded. I do not fear that I have made a mistake. John 10.14 I am the good Shepard and know
my sheep, and am known of mine. Jesus knows me and wants me to know him. Some will talk to Jesus for the first time on judgment day, but then there will not be time to get acquainted or establish a relationship. Rev.3:20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. Just ask us to open the door and he will come in. Jesus asked Peter if he would go away also. Peter answered I have no place to go. The same can be said about myself. I have no other plans but to follow Jesus. I am serving a life sentence, and I plan to die with the decision I have made. How about you? Pastor Of The Worship Center Ron Thomason

Country Living Step right up! Step right up! The Bevier Homecoming is here! All children widely anticipate this time of year. The carnival rides, the lights, funnel cakes, snow cones, all wanted by the young and young at heart. The Homecoming for me was always a magical time. I remember being very young and Dad taking us kids to ride the rides. I remember the excitement of parking the truck and walking on the street toward the City Park. My sister and I would be dressed in our new school clothes, and school was quickly approaching but that was a thought we would have to get to later because all we could think of right now was the Homecoming. First thing we needed upon arriving was tickets. Dad would get us tickets and put them in his breast pocket of his dress shirt. Then it was off to the rides. I have to hand it to Dad, while we were young he took us to ride rides. As we got a little older he would still keep the tickets in the same place and would give each of us two or three and as soon as they were gone we would have to find him to get more tickets. Pretty clever we had to find him instead of him keeping tabs on all of us, but he didn’t have to worry about us long because we were looking him up pretty quick. Later we got books of tickets and would get to go ride rides with our friends. What a wonderful time we had. Once in awhile we would stop riding rides long enough to catch the entertainment. At this time Dad would buy us a Famous Homecoming Hamburger. In
my opinion the only way to eat one is to pile it high with pickles and add a little ketchup and wash it all down with a Coke. Now, I have my own kids and not much has changed. Instead of tickets we buy arm bands. I don’t get as excited to see the rides roll into town as I did in my youth. Now I enjoy the ice cream social and I really enjoy the local entertainment night. I will always love the Homecoming Hamburgers, snow cones and funnel cakes. No matter how old I get I will always love the parade. It is so amazing to me that such a small community can become so alive during this magical week of celebration. The parade is nearly a historic event. People come from all over to set on edge of Main Street to watch the typically hour long parade of floats, cars, tractors, horses, and many other things people come up with. All of this would not be possible if it wasn’t for one man’s love for his town, its citizens, and of course the Homecoming. So if you see Donny Roberts be sure to tell him what a great job he has done. He doesn’t do it alone, which he will tell you, but he is the ring leader. I haven’t met anyone that would want the headache of taking on the Homecoming. So to all of the volunteers, and there are a lot of you, thank you for helping keep this amazing event going from year to year. If you would like to volunteer just ask Donnie what needs to be done and he will line you out. For this week Life in the Country will be at the Homecoming. Hope to see you there!

COMMUNITY NEWS SEASONAL WORKERS
Ignorance Can Be Bliss Or Pain By Dani Evans dani.evans33@yahoo. com
The City of La Plata Seasonal employees are currently sprucing up the town. Last week they were scraping poles and repainting them around town.
Buck Bros. Sunny Slope Complete Automotive Repair
Gary Simmons, Agent 660.332.7034
Performance Parts & Accessories Old Highway 6 West Kirksville, MO
I turned 29 and realized that I had yet to run a marathon. This was a silly goal I had set for myself when I ran my first 3 mile physical fitness test for the Marines in 24 minutes and 45 seconds, 9 years prior. I signed up for the Disney Marathon in Florida and began my training. That order may look backwards but knowing you have to show up and run 26.2 miles is extra motivation for running in the rain and in Britain that is where you run, in the rain. I printed off a training schedule and stuck with it. However, I did no further research. The week before the race I flew into Florida and thought to acclimate myself to the difference in weather I would go on a short run, 11 miles. With a 4 am start time, I was certain that when Disney made these demands they would feed us at the start line; they did not. I carried nothing with me because they were going to give us food and drink at various mile markers throughout the race. They did not, I did not get food
until mile 18, a banana and a piece of chocolate. I finished that Marathon in 6 hours and 33 mins. It was not a land speed record but I was pretty chuffed with myself. My husband now runs two to three marathons a year; I will rejoin him after this baby. I’ve learned a lot from him. You are not to run the week before so your legs get itchy for running. You are to bring some water and gu (sugar gel to keep you going) to use in between stations. Breakfast is NEVER provided at the start line. I managed to survive without knowing these things but it may have been a better experience with more advanced research. I think next time I will go for a personal best of 5.5 hours. Four months after my marathon, my husband got his vacation from Iraq. Two days after that vacation I learned we were expecting our first child. One might have thought that I would do more research for such a big deal. I decided against it because I didn’t want to know about everything that could go wrong. I didn’t take any classes on birthing and didn’t even tour the hospital. I walked into the Maternity ward at Harrogate
District Hospital knowing nothing. The midwife had to teach me everything. I was certain that I was going to die from contractions and I would not relax because Mark had just landed at the Leeds airport and I did not intend to have our baby with him stuck in traffic trying to reach me. I had no idea that the human body could actually take on a life of its own and was certain mine was trying to assassinate me. Turns out most of us think we are going to be destroyed by our contractions, relaxation is huge during labor and delivery and the human body knowing what to do is a really helpful during labor and delivery if you just go with it. Again, all things I perhaps should have found out before walking into the Hospital. I decided at this point in my life that sometimes ignorance is bliss. I firmly believe that I do not need to know everything in the world. I assume it is messed up and pray for all of us, serving an omnipotent God means He knows all that anyway. However, perhaps I should take a more active roll in learning about things I’m actually participating in because sometimes ignorance is painful.

Many years ago on pretty Sunday afternoons couples would walk east of Callao on the railroad track to a place known as Collett Slough that ran under the railroad track and had a small water hole at the end of the tunnel. The farm to the south of it was the Collett property so I imagine that is where it got it’s name. It is still there ,but minus the beautiful stone ,and you can hardly see it for the area has grown up with brush and trees. It is just before you go under the underpass going east ,and on the north side of the highway.

T’is The Season To Can! by Marjorie Baggos T’is the season to can! As we gather up our delicious summer harvest my family, neighbors and friends begin canning. We really enjoy the rewards and one another’s company. There truly is nothing better on a cold winter day than a warm bowl of chili or vegetable soup made with your own canned vegetables. Personally, I like to can tomatoes. To me, they are the most versatile fruit for cooking. It is far easier than you may think! When canning tomatoes you want to make sure that they’re fully ripe. If you get one side of your sink full you should have enough for about six quarts. Approximately, 40 tomatoes will do. I really like using the Roma tomatoes. After you have washed the tomatoes place the drain plug in the sink. Bring two large kettles and one small one of water to boil. One should have a rack in the pot for your jars to sit on. If not make sure you place a towel on the bottom of the kettle or your jars will break. You will want to sterilize your jars and set them on a towel to cool a minute. Place a teaspoon of canning salt in each jar. Then, place the lids in the smallest pot to simmer. Always use new lids and rings. After one of the larger kettles comes to a boil pour the water over the tomatoes in the sink. Blanch for two or three minutes. Be careful not to burn yourself. Start peeling and coring tomatoes when they’re cool enough for you to handle. (Some people like to place an “X” slit on the bottom of the tomatoes and core before they blanch them.) Peel, core and place them in a bowl or pan until you have them all done. Once you have your tomatoes peeled you can start filling your jars. Try not to smash your toma-

toes and keep them whole. Keep a wooden spoon around to remove all air bubbles. You don’t have to pack water bathed tomatoes very tightly. Make sure to top off your jars with the water from the bowl you placed the peeled tomatoes in. You will want to leave a 1/2 inch of headspace in each jar. Remember to wipe down the rims of your jars before placing the lids and rings on. Don’t tighten those rings too tightly! Gently, place your jars into your processing pot using jar tongs. Make sure the jars are covered with at least
an inch of water. You may need to remove some of the water and a glass measuring cup works great for this. Process your jars at a boil for 15 minutes. Some people may process longer. Remove your jars and place them on a towel lined counter top to cool. Your jars should audibly ping as they cool. That is the joyous sound of success! If plain tomatoes don’t interest you try making salsa, stewed tomatoes and tomato juice. All variations are delicious and simple to make. Happy Canning Everyone!

last minute looking for items. Be sure and keep all the school forms in a folder and place in your backpack. They will be all together when you have to turn them in. Staying organized will also help with your studies. Have folders divided and labeled by subject. Keep all your assignments and other information in the subject folders. Having a good relationship with teachers is very important. Teachers are not your enemies; they really do want you to succeed. It’s important to remember that your teacher was once your age and has been through school. You may be surprised as to what they understand. And who better to get a recommendation from when applying for your first job? The beginning of
for PLUS 60 months^
school can cause several emotions for a student, feelings of being scared, excited, nervous or anxious. These feelings are normal and you need to remember everyone else is having those same feelings on the first day. It’s important to keep confident and concentrate on the important things, such as learning new things and meeting new friends. Don’t be shy or afraid to be the first one to speak to a student you don’t know, you may miss out on a good friend. The most important thing is to be yourself. Pressures of all types may arise and it is only you that can make the choice of what’s best . Stand tall, be proud of who you are and work hard to overcome all the challenges that come your way in the school year.

Welcome To La Plata R-II School District by Steve Safley, High School Principal Welcome to the La Plata R-II School District, home of the Bulldogs. It is hard to believe that we are nearing the beginning of a new school year, which will start Wednesday, August 22. I am extremely proud of the work the staff has done over the summer preparing the building and the classrooms for the start of school. Many teachers have attended workshops, worked on curriculum, developed lessons, and getting mentally prepared for the school year. I am excited to introduce new staff members to the district: Amanda Gott (Special Education), Jessica Hulett (Family and Consumer Science), Steve Lightle (Physical
Education), Russ Lincoln (Mathematics), Andrew Murphy (Band/Chorus), and Jessy Reuterdahl (Agriculture Education). Returning staff to the district include: Janice Bane (Business Education), Kayla Belt (Media Specialist), Susan Boren (Spanish), Wendy Carter (Communication Arts), Mary Feldkamp (Science), Brook Fleshman (Guidance Counselor), Kyle Fleshman (Mathematics), Ken Jett (Physical Education), Justin Johnson (Social Studies), Billy Pippin (Communication Arts), Linda Pyle (At-Risk), Susan See (Special Education), Paula

Thompson (Social Studies), Vanita Weber (Art), Jesse Wolf (Science), Lynnette East (Book Keeper), Debbie Newland (High School Secretary), and Deanna Wheeler (Athletic Director Secretary/Food Service). Also Dr. Craig Noah has been hired as the new Superintendent of the La Plata R-II School District. With the start of school there are always changes to adjust to, such as waking up and getting to school on time, getting re-acclimated to the bells, homework, and studying for tests. One of the biggest changes for this year is the starting and ending times of the school day. School will start at
should ensure students receive the intervention in a timely fashion—at first indication they are experiencing difficulty. An intervention time was utilized last year during the second semester and during the student’s lunch breaks and was a benefit in helping the students reach success. Our mission is to “Educate, Equip, and Empower Students�. At La Plata R-II, we take great pride in providing a professional environment for all students and staff members. Students have the opportunity to explore a wide variety of programs and extra-curricular activities. The district’s hope is that our students,
families, and the entire community will share in the pride that we feel for our school. Please remember that if you have a question or concern, I am available to assist in any way possible. It is important to remember that the entire staff at La Plata R-II School District is available to assist students in a variety of ways. Parents/guardians and patrons are always welcome to visit the school at any time. Please check in the school by stopping at the office. For your convenience the high school’s phone number is 660-332-7001. The district’s web site is laplata.k12.mo.us.

8:05 instead of 8:10 and end at 3:20 instead of 3:12. The reason for the change in time was to incorporate an intervention period, which will consist of 20 minutes into the schedule. The intervention period will be a time for students to receive extra support. The process of a good intervention is very important in helping all students learn. How do we respond when students do not learn what we intended them to learn? The solution requires a systematic process of intervention to ensure students receive additional time and support for learning according to a schoolwide plan. The process

Those attending were: Helen Griswold, Jim Hill, Marilyn Stockmann, Jim Stockmann, Julie Wood, Jackson Wood, Dorothy Dee Daniel, Mildred Walter, Geneva Oliver, Blanche Hoffman, Grace Killen, Mary Gertrude Edwards, and Lois Schwanke. Bill Bevan came out this afternoon and read to the residents. We started Monday off by playing the first game of our CCC Olympics, the 100m Sprint. Holly gave each resident a 100 inches of yarn. The object of the game was to see who could roll their yarn into a ball the fastest. 1st place went to Blanche Hoffman, 2nd was captured by Grace Killen, and Mary Gertrude Edwards came in 3rd. The next game was the Javelin Throw. Each resident received a straw in a wrapper with one end tore off and then they had to blow as hard as they could since whoever’s wrapper went the farthest was the winner. Darrell McDowell was the 1st place winner, Blanche Hoffman, 2nd place, and 3rd place went to Larry Vaughn. This evening, Mount Ary Baptist Church members came and sang for the residents. It was the perfect ending to a very busy and fun day.
The Olympic games continued Tuesday morning with the Pole Vault. Each resident received a bean bag and they had to throw it over a horizontal pole. With each successful throw, the pole was raised higher and higher. Coming in 1st was Larry Vaughn, 2nd place went to Darrell McDowell, and 3rd place was Mary Gertrude Edwards. After lunch, JJ and Maggie, the therapy dogs came by for a visit, along with their handlers, Becky and Sally. The residents absolutely love the therapy dogs and think they are the best medicine ever! Holly and the residents met for their monthly resident council meeting Wednesday morning, then after lunch Holly played Bible Trivia with the residents. The County Kickers were here in full force this evening. They were full of energy and excitement and the residents enjoyed every minute of watching these incredibly talented dancers. Thursday morning, Holly and the residents competed in more Olympic games. The first game of the day involved a 16oz. bottle and the residents took turns in seeing whose bottle could spin the longest. Grace Killen came in 1st, Donave Still, 2nd place, and Mary Gertrude Edwards, 3rd place. The next game divided the residents into two teams.
Each team had a bean bag and they had to pass it from one team member to another. The team with the fastest time was comprised of Blanche Hoffman, Mary Gertrude Edwards, Grace Killen, Larry Vaughn, and Geneva Oliver. Bingo was the popular place to be this afternoon. The grand prize winners were Marilyn Stockmann, Glenn Wallace, and Dorothy Dee Daniel. Clark Dobbs, from the Macon First Baptist Church, led Bible study Friday morning. The study title was “Confident”, and scripture was read from Ephesians 1:13-14; Romans 8:1417; 2 Corinthians 5:15. Clark told us the presence of the Holy Spirit in our lives gives us confidence that we are in a right relationship with God, and that He is and always will be with you. The residents played SkipBo this afternoon. Ronnie Shores visited with the residents Saturday morning, then after lunch everyone gathered in front of the big screen to watch “Nothing but Trouble”. We would like to invite everyone to our Ice Cream Social which will be held on Thursday, August 23rd, at 6:30pm in our Community Room. Come join us for some cool treats and awesome entertainment by Dale Wilson! Have a wonderful week!

“We’re In Callao But It Doesn’t Look Like Home”
ABOVE - The Welcome To Callao sign in Callao, Peru. BELOW LEFT - Mary Burnett’s only memento from her trip, a can of Callao Beer.
By Mary Sharp Burnett My father, Dr. Charles Sharp, moved our family to Callao in the spring of 1958. That summer our town celebrated the centennial. As a child I was intrigued by the graphic on the cover of the centennial book that illustrated how Callao was named. The drawing showed that a globe was spun and a finger landed on Callao, Peru. Curiosity about Callao, Peru was tucked away into my memories. Those thoughts resurfaced as my husband , Bob, and I were planning our trip to see Machu Picchu. My brother, Rick, reminded me that Callao was located next to Lima, our arrival city. Seeing the city that my hometown is named after would be a fulfillment of a childhood dream. The anticipation added to the excitement of

our upcoming trip. After a long overnight flight from Miami we arrived. Looking through travel-weary eyes, 22 sleepless hours after leaving Missouri , I thought I was dreaming. I see huge red illuminated letters that spelled WELCOME TO CALLAO! Unbelievable! I was stoked! After exploring Machu Picchu we returned to Callao/Lima. I was anxious to buy the typical souvenirs: T-shirts, coffee mugs and postcards. Discovering that Callao is a very big industrial port city- not a tourist city, was very disappointing to me. The only momento that I could find to take home that read CALLAO was beer. This fall my husband and I will travel to Macon. Macon, France. We plan to return home with a bottle of wine from Macon to display next to our can of beer from Callao.
