SINGER RICKIE LEE TANNER GIVES BACK TO COMMUNITIES
Rickie Lee Tanner performed Wednesday night at the Bevier Homecoming. Rickie and his wife Tonya not only run the entertainment circuit with limited time between shows, but they are sure to spend that small amount of time they have giving back to the people in the communities. Rickie and Tonya Tanner spent Thursday entertaining residents and guest at Macon Health Care and Loch Haven Nursing Homes in Macon. Their schedule was leading them back eastwardly and they were sure to bring
a little joy to Macon before leaving the area. “A few years ago, we had a friend in the nursing home and Rickie played for them. We visited with the residents and they talked about how they use to attend the fairs and enjoyed the music. We thought we could give back by bringing some of the fair to them”. Says Tonya Tanner Rickie Lee is a Missouri native. He grew up in Belton, MO, a suburb of Kansas City, and currently resides just outside of Washington, MO. Recently, Rickie has been touring the Midwest to promote the title track off of his album, “Fast Lane”. A previous demo recording of “Fast Lane”, has already hit #1 on the independent, unsigned artists chart as tracked by the music research team at soundclick.com. Currently, he is recording a new album in Nashville produced by Rob Daniels, multi-instrumentalist Jake Clayton, and international superstar/drummer for the band Tesla, Troy Luccketta. The album, titled “This Here” is scheduled for release in late 2012. Three things matter most to Rickie Lee, God, country, and family. It is his sincere desire to support all of these things through song. Rickie Lee is more than just a singer. He is an ac-
complished songwriter and musician. He has won numerous singing and songwriting competitions and also made an impressive showing in contests such as Nashville Star, Pop Stars, and the Colgate Country Showdown where he was a state finalist. He has performed for audiences with numbers in the thousands, and has opened for numerous successful recording artists over the years including Gary Allen, Montgomery Gentry, Mark Wills, The Dixie Chicks, and Justin Moore. You may have also seen him on television shows like Smart Country and Nashville on Stage. Rickie Lee also schedules 4 to 5 performances each year with all the proceeds going to charities supporting Children and Soldiers. Recently scheduled charity events for the USO Missouri will be Sept. 9th in St. Louis and Oct. 14th in Fort Leonard Wood. Rickie and his wife Tonya will continue entertaining as long as they are able and the two will tell you they have been blessed throughout their trials of life. The two have a dream of retiring and purchasing a theatre to hold “Opry Style” Shows as well as allow kids to perform and teach them all they have learned on the circuit.

by Doris Noah HAPPY BIRTHDAY FRANK A ‘standing-room-only’ crowd gathered at the Bucklin American Legion Hall on Sunday, Aug. 5, 2012 to help Frank Williams celebrate his 87th birthday. An effort was made to contact Frank’s former co-workers from his Chariton Valley days, as well as fellow members of the Bucklin American Legion, out-of-town family members, local family, friends, church family and community members. Over 150 people came to sing ‘Happy Birthday’ and enjoy the catered lunch, followed by cake and homemade ice cream. He was surprised by the arrival of some of his out-oftown cousins that morning. They made a special effort to arrive early in order to see where Frank & Marilyn farmed and raised
their children through the years. Ten cousins in all from the California, Missouri area came to celebrate as well as Frank’s life-long friend, Elliott McPherson, and McPherson’s son and daughter-inlaw, Johnnie and Jeannie, also from California. He was especially proud to have his four grandsons and two granddaughters in attendance, as well as his four great-grandchildren. Grandchildren include Blake Williams of Bucklin, along with his two children, Bryce and Ava; Jordan Williams and wife, Tiffany, of Paola, Kansas; Jared Williams and wife, Jenna, of Lancaster, along with their two children, Gus and Savannah; Benjamin Williams of Macon, and Paige and Katelyn Hawkins, also of Macon. The celebration was hosted by Frank & Marilyn’s

Our dad bought me a beautiful white lace and satin wedding gown which cost seven dollars and fifty cents. I chose June Wild for my maid of honour and my two nieces Patricia and Lynn Buffrey, my colours being lavender and pale lemon. I was in a whirl wind for a while and the U.S. Army played a large part in whether they would let me into the USA., There were papers galore to fill out and I spent a whole day in Brize Norton, Oxford taking a physical and having tests run, how embarrassing! When I was done with the testing etc Ray took me to the commissary where he bought me my first hamburger. I timidly asked for another one and loved this stuff they put on the hamburger called mustard. After a while I was accepted to enter the USA, having passed the test where they check to see if there was any Communism in your lineage. As the wedding day approached my fiancee rented an apartment for us and it was so huge. I believe that we could have sublet ted part of it out to two more families It used to be the hunting lodge of some duke and almost looked like a small castle. The walls were a foot thick, but that did not keep out the cold. Ray came up to brum one weekend to go to see the vicar, Reverend E.G. Crane. He made arrangements for our banns to be read for the next three weeks before the wedding. Keeping busy was not hard to do. There was the reception food ,flowers, Rolls Royce limousines to book and this was all up to me, and I did it .Our wedding would be held at St Luke Episcopalian church on Peckham Road, where I went to school. By the way even the poor people had Rolls Royce Limo’s for their guests as this was part of the English tradition .Remember most of the new brides to be had been saving like mad for this day. day afternoon in the park following the parade are as follows: oldest lady present, Jessie Sappington; oldest man present, Al Petrik; youngest baby, Eva Main; couple married the longest, Leroy and Mabel Main; couple married the shortest amount of time, Franklin and Debbie Alpers; person coming the greatest distance, Rachel Racette; largest family present, Charlie and Wanda Slater’s family with 14 present. Prizes for the floats in the parade were awarded with the St. Dennis family float winning first place, the Assembly of God taking second and the Bank of New Cambria winning third place. HAPPY BIRTHDAY PEARL Leroy Miller thought up a one day trip for his Mother, Pearl Miller, to celebrate her birthday August 7, 2012. They went to Memphis (Mo) and visited Bucklin native Kathleen (Thiele) McVeigh at the Scotland County Hospital Extended Care. They found Kathleen’s health to be much improved and they had a good
Early that morning I went into town to shop for food .I would be preparing ham and watercress sandwiches as well as cucumber and sausage rolls. Also there were pickled onion and pickled beetroot and a whole celery stuck in a jam jar and a few tomatoes. I did not have time to put on the dog, neither did I have the resources to put on a big spread. I had picked up the wedding cake and the flowers and was ready for myself to get tittivated up. I had fixed my own hair which was natural curly and all I had to do was dress. Our dad looked pretty spiffy in his suit that he had brought out of mothballs, and with his trilby hat he was ready to go. Can’t forget his shoes as you never caught our dad without his shoes looking like glass. The wedding party arrived, already needing a cuppa tea whilst waiting their turn to ride in the posh car to the church. Now is the hour, off I go with me dad in the Rolls and we arrive at the church quickly, we only had a few miles to go. The church was very beautiful and the service was over before you knew it, soon we would be on our way meeting the challenges that most newly weds face. To be Continued…….
visit with Kathleen and her husband Joe McVeigh. It seems some people are living longer these days as the lady two doors down the hall is 108 years old. They had a good birthday meal at a restaurant on the highway at Memphis that has been there since the 1950’s. On the way home they visited Pearl’s sister Evelyn Falls in LaPlata. They also visited the LaPlata Nursing Home where they saw Pearl’s brother Virgil Lindberg and also saw Edwin Larson and Helen Nichols. Helen Nichols had just gotten back to the Nursing Home after being in the Kirksville Hospital for one week. Virgil Lindberg sang Happy Birthday to his sister Pearl. ==Leroy Miller ON THE MEND Lois Bixenman fell at her Macon apartment and suffered serious injuries a couple of weeks ago.

Duncan Awarded The Elyzabeth Schell Scholarship From The University of Macon Sara Duncan of New Cambria has been awarded the Elyzabeth Schell Scholarship from the University of Missouri College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources for the 20122013 academic year. “Scholarships enable us to recruit and retain outstanding students to our college,” said Bryan Garton, associate dean of academic programs. Duncan, a freshman majoring in animal sciences, is the daughter of Larry and Nancy Dun-
can. The Elyzabeth Schell Scholarship was established in 1981 by the estate of Elyzabeth Schell. The Schells were in the dairy business in the Kansas City area and had a strong interest in agriculture. Scholarships are awarded to students whose parents are Missouri landowning farmers or ranchers. “As the cost of earning a college education continues to increase, students are seeking financial assistance from
a variety of sources,” Garton said. “One of our goals is to support as many students as possible with their financial need.” The College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources currently awards $1 million annually in scholarships to students. Sara is the daughter of Larry and Nancy Duncan of New Cambria, MO Information on scholarships and the college is available from Garton at 573-882-0089 or from high school counselors.

COMMENTARY COMMENT
From the Editors Desk
AND THEY SAY GIRLS CAN’T MINE
BY KATHY LIEBHART EDITOR kathy@maconhomepress.com
Another Bevier homecoming finished and schools are beginning their new year. The homecoming is part of Bevier that I can remember from years ago and I wasn’t even raised in Bevier. However, this year, I have a complaint! I go every year and am never tempted to ride the rides. I have not been on a carnival ride since I don’t know when! This year, the rides were really nice and since I always loved the biggest rides, I had to get an arm band. To make a long story short, after I got off the first ride, I walked to my daughter’s house and stayed there for a while just trying not to get sick. The parades have been one of the biggest in Macon County. Our family always entered us kids in the parade when we were younger. One year they made a huge pumpkin carriage and I dressed up as Cinderella. I was inside the pumpkin, and between my brother and our cousins we had the coachmen and Prince Charming. We went to several parades that year. Another year we had a covered wagon with all of us kids dressed in 1800’s apparel. Now we do good to make small floats in time. Do you realize how hard it is to find cardboard? It’s not easy, let me tell you! Whatever happened to the Out House races, Bed races, and all of the fun contest that the communities used to put on? Clarence always had the “Mess America” contest that was hilarious and Bevier had a great Mr. Bevier contest
LIEBHART last year but unfortunately had to cancel last minute this year. If you missed it last year, you need to be sure and come next year! It was something! I keep the photos close in case I need them for future coercion. Yes, I have several! Bevier holds Soap Box Derby races every year. My dad and grandfather use to make a car for me and a friend to enter when we were younger. I still have the trophy’s from years ago. Funny, myself and that friend both ended up becoming Bevierites. Who would have known. When the homecoming ended that meant one thing, Summer was ending too. It’s time to go back to school and put in another 9 months. Thank the Lord there were sports to get us through it! Now that I’m older, I look forward to this time of year. I wish Fall would last longer. It’s the perfect time to camp and hold outside events. I love evening bonfires and sitting around a campfire, it’s just perfect weather to enjoy the outdoors! Now is the perfect time to plan that outdoor get together with friends and family. Before we know it, there could be that cold, white stuff floating through the air. Let’s hope we get some snow this year!
FAITH Hosea 2:15 And I will give her vineyards from thence, and the valley of Anchor for a door of hope. Is.65:10 And Sharon shall be a fold of flocks, and the valley of Anchor a place for the herds to lie down in, for my people that have sought me. Anchor is a fertile valley where the sheep graze. It is located at the north end of the Dead Sea between Jerusalem and Jericho. The prophets of old considered Anchor as a symbol of better times. For many this door is still locked, the door of hope, they have given up on things ever being any better. Hope is more than wishing; hope is expecting. The child of God can hope, but the one who does not know him resorts to wishing. Hope is a state of faith that promotes the belief in a positive outcome. Despair
is the opposite of hope. We cannot put a value on hope unless we have lived without it. 1Peter 1:13 tells us to hope to the end. Never give up. The Child of God is never without hope, as we understand we are on the winning side. The apostle Paul said, “For, if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it”. Even when the answer is out of sight we can still hope for it. Remember, hope is expecting. Love comes to those who still hope even though they’ve been disappointed. Trust God. If God can bring blessing from the broken body of Jesus and glory from something that’s as dreadful as the cross, He can bring blessing from my problems, my pain, and my unanswered prayer. I just have to trust Him. The Worship Center Pastor Ron Thomason
LETTER TO THE EDITOR I never thought I would write a letter to the Editor for any paper but after receiving your paper and viewing your website I decided I should. At first, I didn’t understand why I was receiving a Home Press paper and thought it was something random. I am not an avid paper reader and found myself reading the Home Press from front to back. A few days ago I explored your website and have become more hooked! From the Editor’s Desk, Country Living, and Life and Times of Jean Emily Clark Ray are great little stories. Those are just a few of the articles that make the Home Press interesting. The Business Spotlight is a great addition to your
C Y
paper as well. I live 5 miles from Bevier and never knew Jennings Mercantile existed until I saw it in the Business Spotlight of one of your papers on your website. I think it’s great that you offer this to our local businesses free of charge. Not only does it benefit the businesses of our community but it also informs us readers a brief history of our local businesses. Thank you for a great paper full of local community news to enjoy! For that reason alone I have decided to subscribe to your paper and look forward to the next issue. Sincerely, Angela Price Macon, MO

Country Living By Carrie Chiarottino The Bevier Homecoming is over, which always marked the end of summer for me, and the first day of school is now approaching. By now the kids should have all their new clothes, school supplies, shoes, and backpacks. The big question is, are they ready to go back? This household is split. I think some are ready to go see their friends and others would like summer to last forever. As a parent I have always hated to see my kids go back to school the house is so quiet, they are another year older, which means I’m another older, getting back on a schedule is sometimes like “pulling teeth” as my grandma would say. Not to mention the battle of homework. I’m not the only parent that dreads book reports that seem more geared toward the parents than the child. That’s how it goes, I guess. Once we get back into the swing of things it seems to run smoothly. Oh who am I kidding? Every once in awhile one of the kids will come up with “I need it tomorrow, the teacher said.” All the while not telling me they knew about it a week ago. How do I know this? You may be wondering. It’s because I used to do the same thing to my dad. Yep, I would wait till the last minute and say “Dad, I have a book report due tomorrow.” He would give me a speech about being responsible and how I knew I had
book reports due and how I should take the initiative and get them done and how he bets other kids didn’t do this. After that, he would help me with my book report. I have to admit I find it a little bit funny. I didn’t like book reports then and as you can tell I’m not too fond of them now. I remember once having to have something for show and tell. I thought of it at bedtime the night before I had to have it. Dad called grandma and she just happened to save the wishbones out of turkeys that she had cooked. She said to come up because she had something for me to take. The next day I arrived at school with a wishbone from a turkey for show and tell. I think back and I have countless stories like this one from my elementary days. High School was another story. My dad didn’t make a habit of going to the school. He was at work during school hours and came if we had a program or if the parents had to pick up grade cards. My sister and I were always on a team of various sports or in a club of some kind. I remember my graduation being bitter sweet, mainly sweet. I wish all the kids and teachers going back to school a wonderful school year. I wish you good grades, yummy lunches, and clean bathrooms from Life in the Country.
By now the kids should have all their new clothes, school supplies, shoes, and backpacks. The big question is, are they ready to go back? This household is split.
