A.T. Still Inducted to Hall of Fame
Glen Mitts Anabel, MO 6th Annual Winter Flea Market & Soup Luncheon On Saturday, Jan. 25, 2014, the
Friends For La Plata Preservation will sponsor their annual flea market and soup luncheon. Again this year, the event will be held in the Silver Rails Event Center at 204 East Moore St. in La Plata. The event opens at 8:00 a.m. and will continue until 3:00 p.m. The show will feature over 30 booths, and admission is free for all shoppers. The FLPP members will operate a concession stand featuring homemade vegetable soup, sandwiches and cookies, throughout the day. The Friends For La Plata Preservation will use the proceeds from this Flea Market to continue renovations on the Green Theatre and Annex. The Friends For La Plata Preservation historic group was founded in 1996, in order to preserve the rich history of the La Plata area. Many fundraisers have been held over the years to fund community projects. Besides the current Green Theatre and Annex renovation; the complete Santa Fe Depot restoration of 2003, was spearheaded by FLPP. Through the efforts of the group, the “La Plata Square Historic District” was included on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.
This Day in History
1559: Queen Elizabeth I was crowned in Westminster Abbey. 1777: The Republic of New Connecticut declared its independence. Six months later it was renamed Vermont. 1870: The donkey was first used as symbol of the Democratic Party in Harper’s Weekly. 1943: The world’s largest office building, the Pentagon, was completed. 1967: The first Super Bowl was played: Green Bay Packers 35, Kansas City Chiefs 10. 1973: President Nixon orders halt to offensive operations in North Vietnam. 2009: After allegedly striking a flock of geese, US Airways Flight 1549, is forced to land in the Hudson River. All 150 passengers and 5 crew members survived. The pilot, Chesley B. “Sully” Sullenberger III, was hailed as the “Hero of the Hudson” for his quick thinking and deft landing of the plane.
Nate Walker, Missouri 3rd District State Representative (pictured right) with Speaker Tim Jones (pictured left) with a copy of “A.T. Still: From the Dry Bone to the living Man” at the State Capitol in Jefferson City. Nate Walker, Missouri 3rd District State Representative in recognition of Andrew Taylor Still, MD, DO, recently being selected for induction into the Hall of Famous Missourians presented Missouri House of Representatives Speaker Tim Jones with a copy of “A.T. Still: From the Dry Bone to the living Man” at the State Capitol in Jefferson City. The A.T. Still book was authored by John Robert Lewis. The Hall is a collection of bronze busts that generally has honored people chosen by the House Speaker, but this year House Speaker Tim Jones opened the process to the people of Missouri. Dr. Still, the founder of American Osteopathy, received the most support in a public nominating and voting process for this honor. He came in with nearly 38 percent of more than 34,000 votes. Science fiction author Robert Heinlein, came in second place, and will also be inducted, along with Jones’ choices of Virginia Minor, who advocated for women’s voting rights, and Mel Hancock, author of a state constitutional amendment approved in 1980 that has become known simply as the “Hancock Amendment.” Rep. Walker commented, “I am very appreciative of the leadership that Speaker Tim Jones has shown in opening up the selection process for the Hall of Famous Missourians.”
Walker continues “Missourians have long recognized the important contributions to medical healing that Dr. A. T. Still has contributed, now he rightfully will be recognized in the Hall of Famous Missourians”. An official induction ceremony will held later this year. For additional information you may contact Rep. Walker at his MO State Capitol office by e-mail nate.walker@house.mo.gov and by telephone (573) 751-3647.

On January 6, 2014, MoDOT crews continued to work to keep the blowing and drifting snow plowed back off the roadways. All roads in Northeast MO had been plowed several times, but snow continued to blow and drift. Here are just a few photos of the road conditions from January 6 and just of few of the people who worked hard to keep the roads plowed. While MoDOT Northeast District would like to thank you for giving the snowplows and other equipment plenty of room to safely work, the public would like to thank you to all those who worked so hard to keep our roads safe!

Volunteers at Church WithOut Walls are preparing 500 homemade pies to raise funds for the women’s ministry. The frozen pies will be made from scratch by volunteers. This is the fourth year the ministry will provide peach and cherry pies, the latter will be filled with cherries from the Michigan Cherry Growers Association. In its first year, CWOW volunteers prepared 300 cherry pies and sold-out within one week; the event is now a local tradition! The packed nine-inch pies will be sold in hinged containers ready to be baked or frozen. They will also include baking instructions. “We are hoping the addition of online orders will help move even more pies this year,” said Erica Baker. “We also offer the sixth pie free for folks that purchase five pies. This option has always been very popular.”
The pies will be delivered just prior to Valentine’s Day and prepared on February 7 and 8, 2014. The cost per pie is $10. Those purchasing five pies will receive the sixth free. Delivery is available, but customers are encouraged to pick up their pies on Saturday, February 8, 2014 at 11:00 A.M. at the La Plata Elementary School. “If frozen, these pies can impress folks all year. We have had great feedback each year on the quality of the pies and we and enjoy working together to prepare them,” added Baker. “It is a fun team project for our church group.” To place an order, contact Erica Baker at (660) 4736300 or houseofbakers@ gmail.com or online atwww.goatlantachurch.com.
Capital Report by Tim Remole
The Missouri House of Representatives convened at noon on January 8th per the Missouri Constitution, thus beginning the Second Regular Session of the 97th General Assembly. It was good to get back into Jefferson City and get back to work, as there is much to accomplish. Speaker Tim Jones out-
lined some of his priorities for the upcoming session using his “4 G’S – Growth and Opportunities, Guaranteeing access to a great education, Generating reliable energy and infrastructure, and Guarding and protecting Missouri Values. With these in mind it will not take long to see movement on priority legislation. All Representatives have their committee assignments from last year so we will begin meeting as early as next week. I have been working on issues all year long. I hear the concerns of the people of what we see going on in Washington. We have to work together to make sure we push back on things we know are wrong for the people. Regulations that are being placed on us are becoming burdensome to many as I hear your concerns. We cannot get weary in well doing, we have to stand and let our voices be heard. To stand back and just watch it and do nothing is wrong as well. As Thomas Jefferson said “bind them with the chains of the constitution”. The keepers of the constitution are the people. My goal is to get people involved in their government and show them how they can get involved and make a difference. We held a public meeting last month on EPA regulations that are being proposed and what effects they may have on us locally. There was a great response and many asked for another meeting. We all need to be educated and informed on what is going on, and I feel it is my job as your Representative to keep you informed. We will be having a public meeting at 6:30 pm on January 30 at
Macon County Federated Republican Women Macon County Federated Republican Women met at noon on Thursday, January 9th at a local restaurant in Macon. Bonnie Morris, Vice President, conducted the meeting. She opened the meeting with a welcome and thank you to the members for their attendance on a snowy day. Phyllis Belt, Chaplain gave the invocation followed by the Pledge Alligance to the Flag led by Philip Prewitt. Program was given by Joseph Miller, a policy re-
searcher of the Show-Me Institute. Kathy Austin, secretary read the minutes of the last meeting. Rowena Young gave the treasurer’s report. Reminder of Central Committee meeting coming up January 20th at 7:00 p.m. at the courthouse. Also, Macon County Club will be meeting on January 21 at 6:30 p.m. at Rick’s Service in Bevier. Next meeting for MCFRW will be February 13th at the Apple Basket in Macon.
Mayor’s Report Cold weather usually brings out the “worst” and “best” in people and this Winter is no exception. We in City Hall constantly hear complaints about the high cost of utilities. Some people think it would be a simple matter to just hook on to a new electrical provider for cheaper rates and better service. First the City of La Plata is a member of Missouri Public Utility Alliance. (MPUA) MPUA is a large group of large and small cities that formed an alliance, signed on to by La Plata years ago, that was formed to provide electrical service to members by banding together to purchase electricity and other services. A City just can’t “quit”. There are certain legal requirements to do so as I found out 3 ½ years ago when I was first elected Mayor and checked into the situation. I even visited with a Mayor of a City that had tried to withdraw and he told me after the Council had spent ten’sof-thousands of dollars in legal fees, finally realized they couldn’t get the job done and dropped the matter. A few requirements to get out of MPUA is a five year notice; must find a replacement City of comparable size (almost an impossibility), then
the auditorium at Moberly Area Community College Campus. Dr. Anthony R. Lupo, Professor and chair of Atmospheric Sciences in the soil, Environmental and Atmospheric Sciences Department at the University of Missouri will be giving a presentation on Climate Change. We will be updating you on the EPA’s proposals on regulations that will affect our utility rates and their proposals on wood burning stoves and fireplace inserts. Information will be given out to how you can get involved. Put this date
getting their board to approve the withdrawal and finding a new provider which isn’t nearly as simple as just hooking on to someone and the electricity begins flowing. One would have to find a provider that would even accept the City. There are many things families can do to help with their costs. Don’t leave lights on when leaving a room. Don’t leave TV’s or other appliances on when not in actual use. Put a rug at bottom of a door where cold air is entering. Shut off a back room if not needed during extremely cold weather. DON’T HEAT WITH SPACE HEATERS. Keep thermostat at even temperature and turn down just a few degrees during nighttime. Use quilts and blankets. Many of these things were taught to my generation by parents that HAD to save on energy bills, AND THEY WORK. Enjoy the Winter season as it is one of the most beautiful. on your calendar and plan to attend. The new wood stove regulations is what prompted me to sponsor a bill, HB 1302 in which I have filed, specifies that all Missourians have the right to heat their homes and businesses using wood burning furnaces, stoves, fireplaces, and heaters. It is an honor to be a servant of the people and serve as your Representative. You can contact my office by phone 573-751-6566, or by e-mail tim.remole@ house.mo.gov.

THE SHEPHERD CALLS Dr. H. Wade Paris OBITUARY The Light of the World
As of January 1, 2014, light bulbs, as most of us know them, can no longer be made in the United States, nor can they be imported into the United States. The new light bulb standards are designed to make light bulbs more efficient and reduce the amount of energy our country uses. The old bulbs are real power burners; yet, most of us leave the lights on even when they are not needed. An event I recall many years ago went as follows: one of my children walking down the hall reached inside their bedroom and turned on the light but kept walking down the hall. I asked, “Why did you turn on that light?” “Because it’s dark in my bedroom,” the child responded. “But you aren’t going into your bedroom”, I chided. “No”, came the reply, “but I will later”. Millions of similar experiences occur all over our country every day. Hence, our government has imposed an energy saving lighting standard. The publication I read reported all about the new lights available on the market and on the following page had an article
about candles. We’ve come a long way since the days of candles and kerosene lanterns. Despite its importance, we take light for granted. The sun rises regularly to light and warm our world. When you enter your house in the darkness, you flip a switch and expect light. Light makes it possible to function in the darkness. And, to think it all began when God said, “Let there be light”. Light is so much a part of our lives we use lighting terminology to express everyday experiences. Speaking of a math problem, a friend said, “The answer came to me in the middle of the night. It was like someone turned on a light.” There is a chorus I learned as a child that I still like to sing, “This little light of mine, I’m gonna’ let it shine . . .” To help us understand His saving ministry and God’s plan for the world, Jesus used the word light. He said, “I am the light of the world.” Jesus, the Light, lights our paths. He causes us to see the good and the bad. He would like to do more than just reveal things; He would like to take us by the hand and lead us into good life, eternal life. Can you see it?

1963 brought him worldwide attention. He spearheaded the Aug., 1963, March on Washington, which brought together more than 200,000 people. In 1964 he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. King’s leadership in the civil-rights movement was challenged in the mid-1960s as others grew more militant. His interests, however, widened from civil rights to include criticism of the Vietnam War and a deeper concern over poverty. His plans for a Poor People’s March to Washington were interrupted for a trip to Memphis, Tenn., in support of striking sanitation workers. On Apr. 4, 1968, he was shot and killed as he stood on the balcony of the Lorraine Motel. The Federal holiday honoring the civil rights leader is observed on the third Monday in January. In 2014, the holiday falls on Jan. 20.

Born in Atlanta, Georgia, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., graduated from Morehouse College, Crozer Theological Seminary, and Boston University. The son of the pastor of the Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, King was ordained in 1947 and became minister of a Baptist church in Montgomery, Ala. He led the black boycott of segregated city bus lines and in 1956 gained a major victory and prestige as a civil-rights leader when Montgomery buses began to operate on a desegregated basis. King organized the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), which gave him a base to pursue further civil-rights activities, first in the South and later nationwide. His philosophy of nonviolent resistance led to his arrest on numerous occasions in the 1950s and 60s. His campaigns had mixed success, but the protest he led in Birmingham, Ala., in

Macon Police Dept. News Releases On 12/20/13 at approximately 12:42am, a Macon Police Officer made enforcement contact with a vehicle in the area of Rollins and Butler Streets. As a result, police arrested a 27-year old white male of Macon for driving while intoxicated and failure to drive on the right half of the roadway. The male suspect was transported to the Macon Police Department for processing and was later released pending a municipal court date. On 12/20/13 at approximately 8:40am, a victim reported to the Macon Police Department a theft from their vehicle had occurred on the evening of 12/18/13 while the vehicle was parked unattended in a business parking area on Pace Street for approximately one hour. During this time, the victim states an undisclosed amount of cash and prescription medication was taken from the interior of the vehicle. No property damage was noted or reported. This case remains under investigation at this time. On 12/24/13 at approximately 10:00pm, an employee of a convenience store reported a customer left without paying for motor fuel. It was reported the theft occurred at approximately 9:30pm in which a white SUV was filled with approximately $28.00 in gasoline before the unknown customer left without paying for the purchase. This case remains under investigation at this time. The Macon Police Department is currently investigating a report of assault which occurred on or about the overnight hours of 12/26/2013. A female victim reported she was sexually assaulted during this time frame. No other information is being released at this time, however, anyone with information to help with the investigation is encouraged to contact the Macon Police Department at 660-385-2195 or the Anonymous Tips Line at 395-1111. On 12/28/13 at approximately 10:15pm, an officer of the Macon Police Department was conducting preventive patrol in the downtown area and made enforcement contact with a suspicious vehicle in the area of Rutherford and Butler. As officers approached the area, a black male fled from the area on foot. Police made contact with the male subject a short distance from the area. As a result, police identified the male subject as being a 16-year old juvenile. The juvenile was
in possession of tobacco. Police then took the juvenile into custody and transported him to the Macon Police Department for further investigation. The Macon County Juvenile Office was contacted to assist. The juvenile was later released to a parent and information is being forwarded to the Macon County Juvenile Office for their handling. On 12/30/13 at approximately 9:25am, officers of the Macon Police Department made enforcement contact with a vehicle in the 1200 block of North Missouri Street. During the contact, police located drug paraphernalia within the vehicle in plain view. As a result, the vehicle was searched with marijuana being located within the vehicle as well. The driver of the vehicle, a 20-year old white hispanic male of Kirksville, was arrested for possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia, vehicle registration violation (expired license plate) and failure to provide proof of insurance. The suspect was taken into custody and transported to the Macon Police Department for processing. He was later released pending a municipal court date after posting the required bond. On 01/01/14 at approximately 7:30am, a Macon Police Officer made enforcement contact with a suspicious person while conducting preventive patrol in the 1900 block of North Missouri Street. Police observed a male subject sitting in a vehicle at a closed business in the area. The male subject then got out of the vehicle, walked around the property and across to another property before being contacted. The male suspect was identified as a 38-year old white male of Unionville (MO) after first being deceptive with officers about his identity. Police discovered the male subject had an active arrest warrant out of Livingston County (MO) and was placed under arrest at that time. The suspect was then transported to the Macon County Jail to be held in lieu of bond. On 01/01/2014 at approximately 3:00am, the Macon Police Department received an anonymous tip of possible drug activity taking place in the 200 block of East Briggs Drive within a motel room. With the information given and additional investigation, police were able to apply for and obtain a search warrant for the location. During the search warrant service, police de-
tained two subjects inside of the room. The search of the premises resulted in officers locating packages of synthetic cannabinoids, prescription medications, marijuana, items used for distribution of illegal drugs and a large amount of cash. Police also discovered both subjects within the room had active arrest warrants. While being detained, one of the two subjects attempted to flee the area on foot, but was located a short distance away by another responding officer. As a result, police arrested a 25-year old black male of Huntsville with one active arrest warrant and a 24-year old black male of Salisbury with three active arrest warrants. Both were transported to the Macon Police Department for processing and were later taken to the Macon County Jail and placed on 24-hour hold. Arrest warrants were obtained for Kurt Bohonsky, age 25 of Huntsville for possession of controlled substance with the intent to distribute and possession of drug paraphernalia with bond being set at $21,000.00 cash only. Arrest warrants were also obtained for Cordova Sears, age 24 of Salisbury for possession of controlled substance with the intent to distribute, possession of drug paraphernalia and resisting arrest by fleeing with bond being set at $29,000.00 cash only. On 01/01/2014 at approximately 8:00am, a victim reported to the Macon Police Department their vehicle was damaged overnight while parked unattended in the 700 block of Sunset Hills Drive. The victim’s vehicle sustained substantial damaged which appeared to have been caused by being struck by another unknown vehicle. Damage is estimated at nearly $4,000.00. The Macon Police Department continues the investigation into this incident. On 01/03/2014 at approximately 6:48pm, the Macon Police Department responded to a report of a domestic disturbance in the 300 block of Ninth Street outside of a residence. Upon arrival, police made contact with two subjects within a residence who gave different accounts of the situation and did not wish to pursue charges. Police were called again to the residence at approximately 7:40pm, where both subjects denied any problems. A third call for service was made to respond to a disturbance at approximately

10 Tips To Help You Shape Macon R1 Middle School Honor Roll Your Finances In 2014
The beginning of a new year is a good time to make not only personal resolutions but also financial resolutions. From creating a family budget to saving for retirement, there are things we can all do to improve our financial habits in 2014. The most important thing is not to get overwhelmed, so I have created this list of 10 tips to help you with your finances. I encourage you to choose the most important goals for you and your family and work toward them throughout the year. 1. Review how you did last year. It is important to know how much money you spent and on what, how much you saved, and how well your investments performed when looking at potential income and expenses for the future. 2. Set a budget. If you know you will have some big expenses this year, make sure you note them in your budget. Otherwise, using month by month estimations is a good way to form a general picture of your budget for the upcoming year. Make sure to track your spending so your estimations are realistic. 3. Reduce your debt. The amount of credit card debt for the average American household is approximately $15,000. Even a small amount of debt can be a burden to your finances, so concentrate on keeping your
payments manageable and paying it off quickly. 4. Save for higher education. It’s never too early or too late to start saving for higher education. Studies show that having a savings account dedicated to a postsecondary education dramatically increases the chance of a student receiving one. When you invest for your children’s future, consider investing in a MOST 529 account. You can start an account with as little as $25 and use the flexible investment options to invest in a way you are comfortable with. 5. Save for retirement. Whether you are just starting off in the workforce or nearing retirement, it is important to make sure you are saving enough money to retire comfortably. If you have a 401K through your work, make sure that you contribute as much as you can every pay period. If you don’t have a 401K through work, talk to a financial advisor about your options and choose what’s right for you. 6. Save for a rainy day. It is important to keep enough money saved up to deal with unexpected expenses. Maintaining a rainy day account can help prevent those expenses from overwhelming your financial stability. Most financial planners recommend saving between three
and six months’ worth of living expenses in an emergency fund. 7. Check Unclaimed Property. I receive new Unclaimed Property every day, so make sure that you regularly check my Unclaimed Property list at ShowMeMoney.com. You can register to receive an email notification when new Unclaimed Property matching your information is added. Also, Missourians can now donate their Unclaimed Property to 20 approved charities, learn more about the charities here. 8. Check your credit. You may request a free annual credit report from each nationwide credit reporting company – Equifax, Experian and TransUnion. Your credit score affects your ability to finance large purchases and the interest rates you pay. It is important to keep a handle on your credit score to project future expenses. 9. Get your tax documents in order. Gather your tax documents, including your W-2, early to avoid rushing and possibly making a mistake on your returns. 10. Talk to your kids about finances. Research suggests that children as young as 5 are ready to begin learning about finances. You can start with simple lessons, like setting a budget and teaching the importance of saving.
Whether it be eating out less to save a little extra each month or making small investments in your future education and retirement, these 10 tips are a great way to start down a path to financial independence. Setting responsible, attainable financial goals for yourself and your family could have a major impact on your finances in 2014.
Joe Koenen, Agri-Business Specialist FARM LEASE CONCERNS I know this is a topic I have addressed quite a bit but it’s because the majority of the questions I get lately are related to leases. Thus, a review of several issues related to farm leases is in order again. (1) Oral farm leases continue to cause conflicts. I know many folks think you don’t need things in writing but problems come up at some point and with an oral lease and then they’re hard to address. Determining the date you 1st agreed to an oral lease in order to terminate it 10 years down the road is extremely difficult to impossible. Remember here in Missouri
you must give a written notice 60 days prior to the date you first agreed on the lease. Farming is a very capital intensive business and thus the longer you can give notice if you’re going to terminate a lease the better (more than 60 days is even better). Many farmers purchase seed and fertilizer before the end of the year so keep that in mind also. (2) Minor issues can become bigger problems. The tenant or leasee having the hunting rights in an oral lease can become a big issue if not addressed up front. Another one is how and when we adjust rental rates, keeping in mind that rates can go down as well as go up. Other issues can
include who pays for lime and fencing, the landlord or the tenant? (3) Livestock leases can cause conflicts as well as crop leases. Livestock share arrangements are becoming more common again lately and while they work well they can cause problems also. Who is responsible for replacement heifers and how do we adjust the income if we keep the better heifers? How do we split expenses and does each person pay their part or one reimburse the other? Leases are a critical tool in Agriculture and will continue to be in the future. Having these things addressed upfront and having all parties (landlord and spouse, tenant and spouse, kids) made aware of the lease can help things go smoother. Don’t forget that a lease is a legal contract whether it is written or oral and that we in Extension can assist you with your lease and can provide a written one.

The Gown
Planning a wedding is never simple, and choosing the perfect dress is one of the most important, yet stressful, aspects of doing so. Searching for the dress that’s just right for you can be extremely difficult and time consuming, but when you walk down the aisle looking exactly the way you’ve always wanted, it will definitely have been worthwhile. Starting out, decide exactly the type of bridal gown you want. You could have a general idea in relation to what you’re looking for, but it’s a good idea to fill in some of the fine details before you begin actively looking. Knowing what exactly you want before you begin will help you make a decision later on. When you’re ready to start to look at various shops that sell wedding dresses, first figure out which ones you’re going to check out. There are various ways in which you can do this, but a good way to start is to talk to family and friends who have gotten married relatively recently. C Y

The Proposal
A marriage proposal hopefully will only happen once in your lifetime, so you’ll want it to be memorable and perfect. After you’ve gotten up the nerve to ask, you’ll want a creative and romantic way to pop the question. To help you out, here are 21 unique marriage proposal ideas that are sure to make a big impression. Take your sweetheart to the exact place where you had your first date. Reminisce a little, and then say something like “We’ve had an amazing journey together so far, and now I think we’re ready to take the next step in that journey. I’m hoping you’ll do me the honor of marrying me.” Give your sweetheart a sensual massage, and save the left hand for last. As you massage that hand, slip the ring on and be ready to pop the question. Play a trivia game together. When it is your sweetheart’s turn, casually say “Your question is: Will you marry me?” rather than the question written on the card. Scavenger hunts are always an entertaining marriage proposal idea. Start off with a simple clue to someplace nearby, then get more complicated as the scavenger hunt progresses, and have the final location be a place where you can hide and then pop out and get down on one knee. Spell out the marriage proposal in some place they aren’t expecting to see it – perhaps using alphabet refrigerator magnets, writing it in lipstick on the bathroom mirror, using glow-in-the dark stars to write it on the bedroom ceiling, or getting up early and slipping a fake newspaper page into the real newspaper. Create a path to the engagement ring. For example, scatter petals from the front door to the bedroom, and then use more petals to spell out “Will you marry me?” Alternatively, you could use candles to trace a path. (Obviously, be careful you don’t burn the house down!) Place sweet notes in different spots around the house. In each spot, write something that you love about your
sweetheart, and where to find the next note. In the last note say “For all these reasons and more, I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Will you marry me?” Buy a box of chocolates for your sweetheart, and replace a chocolate with the ring. When she opens it up, get down on one knee to finish the job. Most movie theaters have repeating advertising slides before the previews that can be purchased. Write her name up in lights, and be sure to get to the theater early enough. If your intended flies often, get friends and family to join you at the airport, where they’ll each hold up signs spelling out “Will you marry me?” as your sweetheart disembarks from the plane. Make sure you’re the one holding the “Me” sign! Plan a surprise trip, using blindfolds and circuitous routes. When you get to your destination – hopefully a beautiful and secluded spot, pop the question. If you’re planning to stay overnight, don’t forget to pack a bag for your sweetheart! Restaurants are often a very popular place to propose. Call beforehand, and get their advice on the best way to propose in their restaurant – perhaps the proposal is written out on a plate, or perhaps the waiter delivers the ring along with your entrees. At the beach, tell him or her that you are going to draw a picture, but not to look yet because you want it to get it right. Write the marriage proposal in the sand, then bring them over to see what you’ve created. Pack a romantic picnic, and put the ring in with the dessert. After a leisurely meal, ask your sweetheart to get out the dessert. For a wintery marriage proposal when there’s snow on the ground, pack the snow into letters, or take a squeeze bottle filled with red colored water, and spell out “will you marry me?” in the snow.
Right off the bat you could walk into a suggested shop and find a wonderful wedding dress for your special day. Doing a search on the web is another way to find the perfect shop where you are able to browse through their selection beforehand and then go to the shop to try them on. A quick web search can help you find shops in your area, and you can often discover lots of good information from the web sites of these shops. It is recommended to remain calm once you start the more active part in the search for the perfect wedding gown. Don’t be in a hurry to get your dress as fast as possible, as doing so can lead you to purchasing a dress you end up regretting later. Promising yourself that you’re going to be patient will ensure that you won’t buy your dress until you’ve located the one that’s absolutely perfect. If price is an issue, make sure you don’t look at any dresses that are outside of your price range. Doing this
can lead you to love a dress that you can’t afford, which could end up with you paying out more than you want to spend. Every bride feels the wedding dress is really important but sticking to their spending budget is imperative otherwise it means compromising on other elements of the wedding. Always take the words of family members and friends under consideration when you are looking at the various wedding gown options but make the final choice all by yourself. Your wedding event is all about you, so while collaboration is really important, it’s even more important that you end up with a wedding gown that you love. While it takes a good deal of work, in the end, finding the perfect wedding gown can be rewarding. When you look at your wedding pictures or watch your wedding video years down the road, you’ll want to see your wedding dress and smile, and as long as you’re wise and patient, you’ll do just that.

Your wedding cake is the centerpiece of your reception. So take as much care in choosing one as you would in picking out the perfect wedding dress. Here are some key questions to ask your cake baker. Do you customize wedding cakes? Will the cake baker create a custom cake, or are there set styles to choose from? Look at photos and actual cakes, if possible. Be sure to bring pictures, fabric swatches, and other resources if you have a custom style in mind. What are my filling choices? Find out what filling choices are available and what ingredients are used. Whether you’re looking for a fruity filling like strawberry or orange; or a heavier mocha or chocolate, the type of ingredients used will make all the difference in taste. Some common filling ingredients: fresh fruits or purees, Italian buttercream, and farmfresh buttercream. If you want to garnish your cake with fresh flowers, find out whether your cake designer will work with your florist or you are responsible for the blooms. How far in advance are wedding cakes prepared? Keep in mind that cake bakers often have more than one cake per weekend to prepare. So don’t be surprised if your baker makes your cake three to four days prior to your wedding day. Of course, the closer to your wedding date the better.
Who will bake my wedding cake? Some bakeries house a baker and a designer; at other places, one person creates the entire cake from batter to sugar flowers. Find out how many people work with the baker and who exactly will be making yours. Whether it’s a single person or a team of people, however, the number involved should have no bearing on the quality of your cake. How are your wedding cakes priced? It’s common for wedding cakes to be priced by the slice. And the price will increase depending on the complexity of flavors and fillings you’re after. This goes for customdesigned cakes as well. The more intricate the details, the higher the cost. Does the wedding cake price include the top tier? Depending on the baker, the top tier may or may not be included in the overall price. Find out the cake baker’s policy, and whether having a top tier will add dollars to your bill. What is the delivery process? Some cake bakers will deliver your wedding cake to the reception for an added fee, while others ask that you have someone pick it up the day-of. Ask the baker how deliveries are usually handled, and if you’re planning to order a large, delicate, or at all complicated cake, know that delivery is well worth the peace of mind.
Stress: 8 Easy Ways to Prevent Wedding Insanity Let’s not beat around the bush: planning a wedding is work. With all those decisions and responsibilities, it’s easy to see how some brides and grooms get completely consumed in the minutiae. So how do stressed-out, site-seeing, menu-sampling couples get their eyes back on the ball? By taking a breather from the planning process. Get ready to clear your schedules and forget about picking the favors-the following list of eight stress-breaking activities will help you remove yourselves from nuptial hassles and restore your sanity. 1. Declare a wedding-free weekend. For a full 48-hour period, pretend you’re the two people you were before you got engaged (and, in the meantime, remind yourselves of why you wanted to get married to each other in the first place). No wedding planning or fighting allowed! No talk of hors d’oeuvres, seating charts, or first dance songs. Hang out, laugh, have fun, and flirt with each other for a change. 2. Have a night out with the girls (or boys). With all the “togetherness” of being a future bride and groom, remind yourselves you’re individuals too. Book a night out with your respective same-sex posse (again, no wedding talk). Hit the town like a swinging single and stay out past midnight. Take advantage of the fact that your future spouse isn’t around to do something with your friends he or she doesn’t like to do -- we’re talking chick flick, batting cages, steak dinner, manicures. Then entertain each other the next day with tales of your exploits. 3. Go on a fancy date. Chances are, for the past few months you’ve been scrimping and saving every extra nickel to supplement The Budget. If you’ve done well, reward yourselves for your miserly skills by spending a little of that cold hard cash. Book a table at the fanciest restaurant in town and go for the full monty: fine wine, appetizer, entree, dessert, and after-dinner drinks. Afterward, stop in a local jazz club and catch a torch singer belting out inspiring tunes de l’amour. 4. Take a drive. Reserve a weekend afternoon and head for the open road. Check out that little place a couple of towns over that you always mean to visit. Test each other’s map-reading skills. Play
road games like, Who Can Spot the Most Out-of-State License Plates? Sing along to cheesy songs on the radio. Buy a souvenir at a highway truck stop. Stumble upon a romantic restaurant for lunch or dinner before heading home. 5. Mastermind a movie marathon. There’s nothing like a good movie to transport you from reality to fantasy. Take the phone off the hook, rent a whole slew of films, and spend an evening in, snacking on popcorn and Sno-Caps. The trick here is to stay away from wedding-theme fare -- sorry, this includes Father of the Bride -- while keeping the romance theme going with a steamy story like The Lover. Or opt for the comic relief of a Jim Carrey or Eddie Murphy flick -- laughter, after all, is still the best stress reliever. 6. Get in some game play. Sometimes a little healthy competition serves to make you closer, right? Challenge your mate to a night of games: Pictionary, Scrabble, backgammon, even good old cards. If you own a Sony PlayStation 2, take the high-tech road to fun. Rather venture out? Head for the nearest bowling alley -- or look into go-carts, ice-skating, and tennis tournaments for other fun and sporty activities to enjoy a deux. 7. Revert to childhood. There’s nothing like a good amusement park to get you feeling like a kid again. Wake up extra early to avoid long lines, then get your fill of roller coasters, log flumes, and Ferris wheels. Challenge your future mate to a bumper car race. Fill up on cotton candy, funnel cake, and waffle cones. Take an old-fashioned photo. Then spend an hour or so trying to win a supersize stuffed animal to take home as a memento of the day. 8. Engage in an eat-a-thon. If you both love to cook, compose a special theme menu for a romantic at-home date. Go shopping together and pick the freshest produce around (maybe there’s a farmer’s market near you) -- and remember to include some aphrodisiac ingredients! Nab a bouquet and some candles to pretty up your table while you’re at it. Once at home, take time to really enjoy the meal prep process. Line up all your ingredients on the countertop and open a bottle of wine. And take lots of liberties when it comes to recipes -- nothing’s better than creating signature dishes together.
27. Ancient Greeks and Romans thought the veil protected the bride from evil spirits. Brides have worn veils ever since. 28. On her wedding day, Grace Kelly wore a dress with a bodice made from beautiful 125-year-old lace. 29. Of course, Jackie Kennedy’s bridesmaids were far from frumpy. She chose pink silk faille and red satin gowns created by African-American designer Ann Lowe (also the creator of Jackie’s dress). 30. In Japan, white was always the color of choice for bridal ensembles -- long before Queen Victoria popularized it in the Western world. 31. Most expensive wedding ever? The marriage of Sheik Rashid Bin Saeed Al Maktoum’s son to Princess Salama in Dubai in May 1981. The price tag? $44 million. 32. In Korea, brides don bright hues of red and yellow to take their vows. 33. Brides carry or wear “something old” on their wedding day to symbolize continuity with the past. 34. In Denmark, brides and grooms traditionally crossdressed to confuse evil spirits! 35. The “something blue” in a bridal ensemble symbolizes purity, fidelity, and love. Food and Family 36. In Egypt, the bride’s family traditionally does all the cooking for a week after the wedding, so the couple can…relax. 37. In South Africa, the parents of both bride and groom traditionally carried fire from their hearths to light a new fire in the newlyweds’ hearth. 38. The tradition of a wedding cake comes from ancient Rome, where revelers broke a loaf of bread over a bride’s head for fertility’s sake. 39. The custom of tiered cakes emerged from a game where the bride and groom attempted to kiss over an ever-higher
cake without knocking it over. 40. Queen Victoria’s wedding cake weighed a whopping 300 pounds. 41. Legend says single women will dream of their future husbands if they sleep with a slice of groom’s cake under their pillows. 42. An old wives’ tale: If the younger of two sisters marries first, the older sister must dance barefoot at the wedding or risk never landing a husband. Show Off at a Cocktail Party 43. In many cultures around the world -- including Celtic, Hindu and Egyptian weddings -- the hands of a bride and groom are literally tied together to demonstrate the couple’s commitment to each other and their new bond as a married couple (giving us the popular phrase “tying the knot”). 44. The Roman goddess Juno rules over marriage, the hearth, and childbirth, hence the popularity of June weddings. 45. Princess Victoria established the tradition of playing Wagner’s “Bridal Chorus” during her wedding processional in 1858. 46. The bride stands to the groom’s left during a Christian ceremony, because in bygone days the groom needed his right hand free to fight off other suitors. 47. On average, 7,000 couples marry each day in the United States. 48. Valentine’s Day and New Year’s Eve are the two busiest “marriage” days in Las Vegas -- elopement central! 49. The Catholic tradition of “posting the banns” to announce a marriage originated as a way to ensure the bride and groom were not related. 50. Stag parties were first held by ancient Spartan soldiers, who kissed their bachelor days goodbye with a raucous party.

In the second quarter we would play even as both teams scored 10 points in the quarter. At the half Damon Porter and Dillan Nolte had 12 points each, which was our entire team scoring as we led 24-16 at the half. In the second half we would build on our lead by out scoring Marceline 17-14 in the third quarter. Dillan Nolte picked up 2 quick fouls and fouled out in the 3rd quarter but our bench was able to provide the ball handling and defensive pressure we needed to maintain enough control to win this game. In the 4th quarter Marceline did make a run at us but we were able to work the clock and escape with the win. Marceline outscored us 12-6 in the 4th.Dane Robertson 2 points, Cyrus Hanson 2, Dylan Epperson 1, Dakota Peterson 2, Daniel Hernandez 2, Damon Porter and Dillan Nolte 19 points Overall 6-3 TCC 1-1” Coach Daniel Liebhart The BMC Lady Raiders traveled to Marceline to take part in the Tournament there this past week.

Wildcats took to the road and traveled this week to the Marceline Tournament. On Wednesday they took on the Keytesville Tigers in the first round. Bevier got down early in the first period and trailed the Tigers by five 7 to 12. But teams crowed the lane in the second period and did not score in double digits at the half the girls trailed 11 to 19. The Wildcats were able to move the ball better in the third but were not able to keep the Tigers off the boards and trailed by ten going into the final frame. Both teams pushed the ball down the court in the forth but the Cats were not able to overcome the lead and lost by eleven 35 to 46. Caiti Bradley put in 4 points, Karissa Harrington 8, Memphis Buster 5, Beth Ashenfelter 18 with Rachel Lowe collecting a rebound and a steal. The Lady Cats faced Brunswick on Friday Night.

The second half the two teams came out with a lead on the bucket between the two of them they only could muster eleven points total. The Forth and final frame was fireworks. The two teams each dumped in over twenty points with

The Lady Hornets went right to work in the first half. They kept up their aggressive defense on Father Tolton and pressed to a 17 to 16 halftime lead. Father Tolton exploded in the third quarter scoring nineteen points and holding the shell-shocked Hornets to only two.

The Macon Tigers traveled to Ewing over the week to play in the Highland Tournament. “Wednesday we lost to Hannibal 37-43. Trey Kothe led in scoring with 12. Jon Murray had 9 and Craig Smith 7. Low scoring first half, we were down 12-19.” Coach Damon Collins “Friday we beat South Shelby on Friday 56-30. Trey Kothe had 17 points; Jon Murray had 11 points and 11 rebounds. Josh Turner and Brendan Watts add 6 a piece.” Saturday the Tigers took on the host Highland Cougars. The Tigers and Cougars played a close first half with Highland leading by six, 8 to 14 after the first period and Macon coming back 11 to 10 in the second. They went to the half 19 to 24 in an evenly matched contest. The Tigers came out on fire after the half putting in seventeen points taking a one point lead into the final frame. The Cougars went on a big run in the final frame outscoring the Tigers six to seventeen behind the cheers of the hometown crowd. “Lost to Highland on Saturday by 10 points, final score was 42-52. It was closer than the final score. Most of the 4th quarter we were going back and forth from down 2 to down 4.” Coach Damon Collins. Against Highland Craig Smith 8, Turner had 7, Kothe had 6, and Christian Thrasher had 6. They had a guy (Richmiller) score 21 and another (Porter) had 20.

The Panthers put forth a balanced attack against the Tigers and overwhelmed them 26 to 80. “Happy to get to champ game. Ran into a great Palmyra team. Will work to close the gap before we play them in CCC play. Proud of our players effort and finishing with the 2nd place trophy.” Coach Halley.

The La Plata Bulldogs took on Linn County Friday Night for Homecoming. The home crowd turned out in droves as a sea of red to support the home town team. It’s always great to see the mix of alumni and the student body raises their voice as one. A rare time to reflect on what once was and what will be. The Bulldogs looked to reward the support against the Mustangs. The Boys would not disappoint, they came out firing on all cylinder fueled by a vocal crowd. The Bulldogs were able to dominate the paint collecting thirty-eight total rebounds and blocking four shots. La Plata played relentless defense forcing the Mustangs into sixteen steals. The Bulldogs left the game never in any doubt clubbing the Mustangs 53 to 28. The Bulldogs were led by 18 points from Tanner Riggins, 2 points each from Baylon Belt and Hunter Howe, 4 from Mitch Cox, Matt Safley put in 14 Points, 5 Seth Brown and 8 from Ty Davison. Logan Smith added a steal and an assist, Kirk Larson a rebound and an assist. Hank Noah had a steal and Alec Smith and Jace Brown played solid defense. The Bulldogs travel to Atlanta Tuesday Night, Marion County on Thursday then return home to face Meadville on Friday.
The La Plata Lady Bulldogs hosted the Linn County Mustangs on Friday Night in La Plata. It was a festive evening with all the alumni in attendance for Homecoming. It did not look like anything could make a home game better, well, all except maybe a heart pounding trill ride of a finish. The Lady Bulldogs won a thriller 45 to 43 against a game Mustangs squad. Students from past and present lifted the girls on their shoulders and carried them on to victory. “It was a great win for us on Friday night, but I guess all wins are great, right? :) That win improved our conference record to 2-1; overall record now stands at 4-4. Some high lights.....Hannah Larson proved that she can be a formidable scorer in this conference. She led all scorers with 25. In addition to Hannah, Morgan Kimmel followed that up with 7 points of her own, Kelsi Hemmerling had 6, Laryn Pinkston broke into the scorebook with 4, Ally Gregory had 2, and Camrie Feinberg had one huge free throw toward the end of the game!! We had a decent lead at halftime and even extended that a little into the 3rd quarter, but Linn County’s continuous pressure started to get to us mentally I think. Early in the game I thought we handled their pressure rather well, but as I stated, it can wear on you. We proceeded to force several bad passes which led to easy baskets for them and they climbed right back into the game. We put Linn Co on the line way too much and they shot free throws quite well that night. It was nip and tuck for the last few minutes. Camrie Feinberg and Hannah Larson had some huge free throws down the stretch and we were able to hold on for a 45-43 win. We have a tough stretch the next 4 games: at Atlanta Tuesday, at Marion Co Thursday, home vs. Meadville Friday, and open the North Shelby tournament next Monday against Marceline!! It’s going to be a difficult stretch for us but we hope to compete. We continue to find positives in the things that we’re doing and the girls continue to work hard.” Steve Lightle

The Brashear Tigers took to the road Thursday Night January 9th to face the Meadville Eagles. Meadville has started the season off on a torrent pace going 8-1 on the early season. The Tigers ran headlong into the Meadville buzz saw. The Eagles dropped in forty points in the first half and held the Tigers to eleven points. The second half was much of the same the Eagles outscored the Tigers by eleven in the third period and by thirteen in the final frame to win going away 71 to 18. Chance Hill scored 8 points, Colt Acton 5, Jacob Bleything 2 and Gabe Thomas 3. Friday Night the Boys continued the road trip to Lancaster and faced the Schuyler County Rams.

The Lady Tigers took their show on the road to Meadville Thursday Night to face the Eagles. The Lady Tigers were looking for their first road win of the season against a strong Meadville team that was 2-0 at home on the season. The Tigers host the Bevier Wildcats on January 17th. The girls got off to an ice cold start and trailed the Eagles after the first quarter two to sixteen. The Lady Tigers warmed up a little in the second and drove the ball into the lane to score eight points and trailed at the half ten to thirty. Things looked to go the same in the second half as the Eagles outpaced the Tigers by nine points in the third period. The Lady Tigers showed their heart in the forth nearly doubling up the Eagles sixteen to ten, but it was not enough and they fell 31 to 54. Ashley Moncrief put in 6 points, Abigail Kerby and Abby Hall 2 each, Sidney Sykes Mandy Taylor and Hailey Lawrence each had 4, Allison Thompson had 1, Meredith Thomas 5 and Skylar Housman had 3. Friday Night they made the swing to Lancaster to face down the Lady Rams. Schuyler County was able to keep a solid defensive game up on the Lady Tigers keeping them just out of arm reach in each quarter. The Lady Tigers worked better defensively then earlier in the week but were unable to overcome the Rams and returned home with a loss 26 to 56. The Lady Tigers host Tri-County Conference opponent Bevier this Friday. C Y

HEARTLAND HEADLINES After lots of holiday travel, we are happy to have just about everyone back home in Heartland now. A few students from the college got stranded and didn’t make it back for the first day of the new semester. We are glad they are safe and warm, though, while they wait for the weather to clear. A few other folks have already left again for a missions trip to India. But, mostly, we are here and getting back to normal life. Well, things are as normal as they can be

in this kind of weather. The diesel milk tankers have thrown a few fits. And several cars have been stuck in the drifts. I can’t even imagine the hardship on our farm crews and all the people who have to work outside in this weather. We are so grateful for warm homes and for diligent road crews who help us stay safe when we must be out. Most of all, I am grateful that winter never lasts forever! Just like every tough season in life, I know this too shall pass. C Y

Wow! I read a wonderful thriller/suspense this past week, The Bue Zone: A Novel by Andrew Gross. Kate Raab's life seemed perfect until her father runs into big trouble with the law. His only recourse is to go into protective custody, the Witness Protection Program and testify against some powerful people. Kate, the oldest child refuses to go and stays with her fiance. Suddenly Kate's life turns upside down and she is being watched. After a year her father goes missing from the Witness Protection Program and is considered in the 'blue zone.' Is he alive or dead? No one is sure. Someone very close to his is found brutally murdered. This only brings about more questions to be answered. Kate is determined to find the answers. Once you begin reading be prepared, you will not be able to put the book down. You will be surprised as the twists, turns and surprises keep coming. What is the real family story?

There will be eight delicious Girl Scout Cookie varieties available – Thin Mints, Samoas, Tagalongs, Do-si-dos, Trefoils, Savannah Smiles, Thank U Berry Munch and Dulce de Leche. All cookies are sold at $4 per package. Proceeds from the cookie program stay within the community to benefit local girls. Troops use the money for everything from field trips to community service projects. With these funds, Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri can also deliver programs for girls, provide training for adult volunteers and maintain our three local Girl Scout camps. The Girl Scout Cookie
C Y
Program is the largest girlled enterprise in the country, engaging girls with five skillslinked to leadership and financial literacy - goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills and business ethics. The cookie program is also the most comprehensive money management program for girls. Knowing how to make, manage, spend, save and invest money is a skill that extends far beyond the cookie season. Many successful women leaders report that their first entrepreneurial experience came from selling Girl Scout Cookies. There will be many opportunities for customers to buy cookies. Initial orders will be taken between GO Day, January 11 and February 2, with additional orders taken from February 3 to March 16. In addition, February 7 and 8 comprise National Girl Scout Cookie Weekend, when Girl Scout troops are encouraged to participate in Gift of Caring, which gives customers the opportunity to purchase Girl Scout Cookies that will be donated either to the USO of Missouri, Inc. or another charitable organization of the troop’s choice.

Crissy Bane was presented a check at the La Plata Homecoming. The check was from the proceeds of the Snow Shoe Fun Run held recently.
You can provide “a taste of home” to United States military personnel by purchasing Girl Scout Cookies that are donated to the USO of Missouri. Thanks to the generosity of Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri customers, 36,540 packages of Girl Scout Cookies were donated to the USO in 2013. Finally, cookie booths and cookie cupboards open February 26 and will take orders until March 16. If you want to order Girl Scout Cookies, but do not know a Girl Scout, we can help – just complete the (fillable) form, located on the Cookies page of our website, www.girlscoutsem.org, and we will have a troop leader contact you. Girl Scouts sell cookies for a limited time once a year, so don’t miss out – mark your calendars for January 11, when order taking begins.
Battle of the Belt Challenge Winners Announced Missouri schools took the challenge to buckle up and made it click with students. One hundred and ninety-five (195) schools statewide, 28 in Northeast Missouri, participated in this year’s Battle of the Belt Challenge, a competition to raise seat belt use among teens. Participating schools launched two surprise seat belt checks at each school to measure student seat belt use before and after an educational campaign. In addition, schools had the opportunity to submit a 30-second video spot to encourage their peers to buckle up. Palmyra High School won both Northeast Regional awards achieving the Highest Overall and Most Improved Seat Belt Use reaching 99.45% seat belt use and increasing their seat belt use from 59.22% [first check] to 99.45% [second check]. They will receive $1000 ($500 for each category) donated by American Family Insurance to be used for future seat belt educational programs at the school. Thirty-seven schools will receive statewide recognition for seat belt use that
reached gold (99-100%), silver (95-98%) or bronze (91-94%) levels of seat belt use and will receive banners to display at the schools donated by the Missouri College of Emergency Physicians. Those regional schools include: Gold Banner - Palmyra High School 99.45% Silver Banner - Warrenton High School 98.73% Silver Banner - Atlanta High School 98.68% Silver Banner - Highland Jr.-Sr. High School 96.12% Silver Banner - Pike RIII Clopton High School 95.74% Bronze Banner - South Shelby High School 94.03% Bronze Banner - Monroe City R-1 High School 93.75% Bronze Banner - Scotland County High School 93.26% Bronze Banner - Montgomery County High School 92.94% Bronze Banner - North Shelby High School 92.06% For the 30-second video competition, 42 videos were submitted by Missouri high schools. The top three winning videos will also receive funding
to further seat belt educational programs at their schools. The winning videos were submitted by the following schools and can be viewed by visiting http://www.savemolives. com/. 1st Place Washington High School 2nd Place Pattonville High School 3rd Place Washington High School “We’re proud of our local schools for showing a commitment to buckling up and wanting to help other teens understand the importance of wearing a seat belt every time they ride in or drive a vehicle.” said Marisa ChristyKerns, regional coordinator for Battle of the Belt. “Seat belts save lives.” Battle of the Belt was originally brought to southwest Missouri by the Missouri Emergency Nurses Association and St. John’s Hospital. In 2006, the Missouri Coalition for Roadway Safety, in conjunction with American Family Insurance, took the competition statewide and continue to sponsor this year’s program with the Missouri College of Emergency Physicians.
