MOTOR VEHICLE INSPECTOR III LARRY F. KUHN RETIRES FROM PATROL

Pictured in the photo (left to right): Andy Lukowski, Operator; Kennie Fuller, Lineman; Tim Korman, Lineman and Danny Brown, Lineman.

Three linemen and one truck operator from MEC left Macon on Thursday, August 30, 2012 and rallied with employees from other cooperatives all over the state of Missouri to help restore power in the aftermath of

hurricane Isaac. The Macon Electric crew assisted Dixie Electric Membership Corporation (DEMCO), based in Greenwell Springs, LA. At one point, more than 55,000 of DEMCO’s 98,000 members were without power.

One of the seven principles that guide all cooperatives is, “Cooperation among cooperatives.” The idea being, cooperatives join forces and work together, especially during times of need. This is not the first time a crew from

Macon Electric Cooperative has traveled to assist another cooperative’s efforts to restore power to their members. In recent years, MEC crews have helped following several hurricanes and ice storms.

The big day arrivedmy first Sea Voyagewe said our goodbyes to our friends at Rock Manor House, started on our journey by train to Southampton and, embarked on the General Hodges that evening. Every troop ship was named after a famous General. I learned later, by research and when the ship arrived in New York, that was the ship’s last voyage. Ray and I stayed on deck as long as we could because later, we would be separated. He told me on his voyage coming over to England, lots of soldiers got very sick and I answered saying, “I won’t get sick and I feel great.” Later, when we had to part, Ray went down below with the rest of the soldiers and I shared a cabin with a lady who had a crying baby. Oh well, I would have to be thankful I had a cabin- after all it did not cost us anything. The next morning I awoke deathly sick and could not believe it, considering that I felt so good after being on the ship for several hours before retiring. This went on for several days. Eventually, I made it up on deck to see my husband. I was getting a seven course meal and Ray stood in a chow line. Sometimes he would only get one item of food, like green beans or potatoes, it depended on how early he got in line. I felt bad for

country side fly by. The train stopped at Macon briefly and Ray said that we only had to go a few more miles and he started to get our luggage readywhich did not take long a kit bag and one suitcase. The bell rang and the conductor shouted out “Bevier, Bevier” and as we alighted there stood my new mom and dad, George and Ethel Ray who welcomed me with open arms and a bond was formed. My husband was the apple of his mom’s eye but, she hugged me first. They were overjoyed to have their son back home and rightly so, he was a very good son. My new dad had a severe heart problem and he had been praying for this day. Then he prayed one more prayer, the request to see his new grandchild and he did. It was a glorious day and we boarded their 1938 Buick and headed south on Highway C to the Ray farm. We were home at last and Mom Ray had cooked a splendid dinner for us. This was the day I was introduced to fried chicken and lots of other dishes that were quite foreign to me. Gravy, biscuits, slaw, cottage cheese pickled peaches, gherkins and many more dishes that I had never tried. I was quite taken with the fried chicken, jello salad and fresh cherry pie. I was simply in awe with all of this wonderful food; I had definitely come to the land of plenty. To Be Continued…

him so I started packing my food to him because I was still too sick to handle it. The ship’s doctor got wind of my illness and said they would have to put me on IV’s if I did not eat. That scared me so, that day I started eating crackers and oranges like the doctor suggested. Wow, my appetite returned and I was starved. I ate everything they put in front of me, and Ray did not get too much from me after that. We were on the ship eleven days and then there stood the Statue of Liberty in all her splendor, everyone was cheering and clapping and ready to find their land legs. I had arrived so close to the land of plenty and as we disembarked there were three of us now instead of two. So much excitement a new country, husband, home, and baby on the way, my we were blessed. We had to stay in New York for a couple of days before Ray received his mustering out papers, and I, not being used to the climate, was quite languid from the heat which was about eighty five degrees. It never got this hot in England and I found it hard to cope. It was around May 14. We boarded a train to Chicago and switched trains there to make the last leg of the long journey home. I can’t remember how long we were on the first train, probably a day and I was so excited I did not want to miss anything and watched the American

SIMPLE LIVING

Early Fall Fun By Marjorie Baggos Lasting memories are made when families visit orchards and pick their own fruit. When picking your apples, be sure to pick a variety. There are several different types including Jona Free, Jona Gold, and Honey Crisp. After picking apples you can reward the children with some caramel covered apples! Those treats are simple to make and so good. Simply, wash six apples and remove the stems. Press craft sticks into the apples and butter a cookie sheet. Then take a package (14 ounces) of individually wrapped caramels (unwrap), two tablespoons of milk and melt in the microwave for a couple of minutes, stirring once. Roll each apple in the caramels and set them on your baking sheet. For added fun you can roll them in nuts, sprinkles, crushed cookies, or candy! There are so many things you can create with apples. Freezing apples is a

quick way to put up your fruit and cook with it whenever you want. To freeze apples you’ll need approximately three quarts of thinly sliced apples, ascorbic acid (vitamin C), and freezer bags. Note that the enzymes in apples can cause oxidative browning as soon as you peel the fruit. Browning can cause a loss of vitamin C. Since apples are commonly served raw they’re not usually blanched to prevent this discoloration. You will need to treat your apples with ascorbic acid (vitamin C) to control this. You can pick this up at the grocery store. To begin wash, peel and core your apples. To avoid the browning you will need to dissolve ½ teaspoon of ascorbic acid powder or 1500mg of finely crushed vitamin C tablets in 3 tablespoons of water. Immediately, sprinkle the ascorbic acid over the apples. Start filling your freezer bags with apples, label, date and freeze.

COMMENTARY COMMENT

MACON INNOVATION CENTER “LAUNCH PARTY” A SUCCESS

From the Editors Desk BY KATHY LIEBHART EDITOR kathy@maconhomepress.com

I was able to spend some more time at the Macon Historical Society last week. Of course, once again I learned so much and could have stayed there all night listening. I wish I knew as much about history back when I was in school as I know today. Actually, I’m sure my history teachers would laugh if they even heard I enjoyed the subject. I guess we do get wiser as we grow older. I truly believe I could and would love to teach history- too bad that requires going back to school. I don’t want to think about going down that road again! I just get excited when I can answer the questions on “Are Your Smarter Then A 5th Grader”! And just for the record, I can answer more than my husband. I love the competitiveness we share; it definitely keeps our household interesting. We can come up with the craziest games. I think the best time, and the only time he volunteered to play, was when we bet I couldn’t hit him with the paint ball gun. We were at some friends house and we ended up getting all the guys to run from the horseshoe peg to the shed as fast as they could and we, us girls, got shoot

LIEBHART them as many times as we could! Now, each guy run and his “better” half got to shoot at him. Needless to say, we haven’t got to play again, but to date it was the best game I ever thought of. Funny thing about time, you forget things. My husband once again agreed to run and allow the kids to shoot at him a few weeks later. This was something he should have known better to do in the beginning because both of our kids are pretty good shots when it comes to guns. To make a long but funny story short we ended up having to go inside after a few band aids. It has been a while since we’ve had the paint ball guns out, I wonder if the guys remember the sting. HUMMM…where are those guns? Don’t forget! Our new website at www.hpsouth. com! You will love the updates!

Friday, August 31, 2012, was the Macon County Innovation Centers “Launch Party” at the former MoDOT District 2 building. The Innovation Center is a new facility to Macon featuring programs and many services offered to business owners both new and old. The Launch Party was a huge success with area residents taking tours of the facility and learning what the Innovation / Business Incubator have to offer.

BUCKLIN LEGIONAIRES HONOR EXCELLO, MISSOURI

FROM THE WORSHIP CENTER

My Kind Of Church After the day of Pentecost the early church was started. According to Acts 2:47, they were praising God, and having favor with all the people. The Word was preached, people were filled with the Spirit, and God added to the church daily such as should be saved. You may ask “What are the requirements for a church that God would add to?” We must go to the scriptures for these answers. First, they were all together and in one accord. There was no confusion or dissension among the brethren. They established a gate of praise and thanksgiving in the church. Nothing turns a new person off any quicker than when he feels he must choose a side. The unsaved are looking for peace. The new Christian comes with a lot of baggage. They must have the

time to work things out in their life with support of the church. The unsaved or new Christian must have a safe church in order to grow in the Lord. When talking to the new comer we must always emphasize they can take their time. As mature Christians we have learned to rely upon the Holy Spirit. The babe in Christ must learn the same thing. During that time we must express the fact that we cannot manage without the help of God and let them know that we, too, are learning everyday. Most important, is the excellent way - the way of Love. God searches for the church of love to add to. Will you love my family and my self? Thank God for the churches built on love. Pastor of the Worship Center Ron and Sheila Thomason

COMMUNITY NEWS by Doris Noah GOOD NEWS TIME If not mistaken it was Anne Murray who sang, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Sure Could Use A Little Good News Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. When you take a look about town perhaps you will agree there are several items of good news worth mentioning this week. The new street signs are here and will be put up when time permits. These bright red and white signs will replace the old faded green and white ones. Now this is a good thing. Jerry Teeter and Bob Walters put a colorful cover on the play fort in the city park. The harsh wind a couple of weeks ago had pretty well shredded the existing one. Now a bright striped cover protects this well used play spot for our children. Several weeks ago the men of the American Legion Post #57 worked to set a big flag pole in front of the Legion Hall. The large flag they hung is beautiful day and night thanks to a bright solar spot light attached to the pole. This is a positive addition on main street. This good news time ends with a true little story related over coffee at the home of a friend last week. Two children, ages 9 and 11, came to visit and brought a treat for her. She told the children she was happy they lived in Bucklin and came to see her. Then the little boy said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;You know I think once you have lived in Bucklin you just wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to live anywhere else.â&#x20AC;? WELCOME OLIVER DAVIS RILEY Dusty and Sarah Riley, Kansas City, Mo. are the parents of their third child, a son, born August 22, 2012. The baby has been named Oliver Davis. He weighed in at 9 lbs. and 5 ounces and is just over 21 inches long.

Oliver Davis Riley has an older sister Gabriella who is 4 years old and a brother Parker who will soon be 2 years old. Maternal grandparents are Dennis and Sandy Layton from Baldwin, Mo. Paternal grandparents are Harve and Beverly Riley from rural Bucklin, Mo. ADAM ARNOLDâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S ARTICLE Former Bucklin resident and a graduate of Bucklin R2 School, Adam Arnold, has an interesting article in the September issue of the Missouri Conservationist. . The article is titled Practice Now for the Fall Hunting Season. BABY SHOWER FOR TRISHA BRACKEN A baby shower with a Sweet Sea Dreams theme was held Sunday at 2 pm in the Fellowship Hall of the United Methodist Church. Each guest was invited to bring their favorite childhood book in lieu of a card for Baby Bracken. The afternoon started off with refreshments in keeping with the theme. A game of â&#x20AC;&#x153;How To Raise a Texas Babyâ&#x20AC;? was won by mother Trisha Bracken she won a package of MU baby items. A game of Nursery Scategories was won by Grandmother Carole Kinnison, she was awarded a Grandmotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brag book as her prize. Gifts were opened to conclude the afternoon. The shower was hosted by Kelsey Casady, Faye Johnson and Karen Arnold. COMPANY Linda Balfourâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brother & sister-in-laws, Mark & Ginny Renaud of Scottsdale, Az. were overnight guests in Lindaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home recently. The couple was headed home after vacationing since June with relatives & friends. Linda Balfour had joined them in Iowa on the 15th for Willard Balfourâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 95th birth-

By: Carrie Chiarottino Labor Day weekend has brought a sight to the heartland that we haven’t seen in over 90 days. Rain! I even had to slow down on my way home Friday because of so much water on the road ways. I think we received around 4 inches of rain in our area. I couldn’t believe it continued to rain the following day. We have been in line so many times and the rain cloud went North or South of us or the weather man/women said (my favorite) we had a 50% chance of rain fall. Reporting those odds, we could all be weather man/ women. So forgive me when I had to see it to believe it, then I still wasn’t sure I believed what I was seeing. What a welcomed blessing. We have been so deprived of any precipitation in this area all summer long. The drought has taken such a toll on the ponds in our area the rain made little difference to the water level. I have noticed that the grass is a little greener in the pasture. My grandfather is 90 years old and he said he has never seen a drought like this. Thinking that he may have not paid attention I asked a few other older gentlemen and sure enough they all say the same thing. I remember when I was a young girl and my father would come home telling us girls about burn bans that had been issued for our area. He also told us how we were to conserve water because of low water levels, so I was sure we had

seen these conditions before. I suppose they were not as consistent as the current conditions are now. Hopefully, this shower will give the grass the extra boost it needs to start growing again, all the while giving the farmers another alternative to feeding hay so early in the year. On a lighter note, Hoss our bad, bad, chocolate lab has found himself in the pen this holiday weekend. The rain has made the ground softer in front of our house. Softer the ground, easier it is to dig and dig he did. He dug a hole in the front yard as close as he could to the front door. Not the end of the world, right? Wrong, he dug a large hole and threw the dirt up on the porch and it bounced off the front door, absolutely covering the porch with muddy dirt. Garet attempted to swept and clean it up. Then guess what? It happened again! Really, how in the world could that dog sling mud like that? Not only that, but he chewed up my wooden chair my sister had got me for my birthday and this was not the first time, but he really worked it over this time, to the point I am going to have to hide it the next time she comes over. So off to the pen he went. Jeremy cleaned, hosed off the porch, and had to move all the furniture in order to do so. So goes our love/ hate relationship with our dog. That’s life in the Country.

I have noticed that the grass is a little greener in the pasture. My grandfather is 90 years old and he said he has never seen a drought like this.
