Escort to History - Part Two
By Rita Cox, Editor, Press-News Journal Richard Pace saw Mrs. Kennedy when she came to Ft. Myers to see a horse that was given to her by the king of Suadi Arabia. The horse had to be quarantined for 30 days. Mrs. Kennedy was surrounded by Secret Service Agents and was known for her fondness of horses. Ft. Myers also was home for awhile to Caroline Kennedy’s famous pony, Macaroni, a Shetland pony, that Pace said was like most Shetlands, bull headed with a little horse attitude. Pace was on duty on November 22, 1963 and was riding and training horses near the North Post when they were told to report back to their section and told the President had been shot and then soon learned that he had died. They were restricted close to quarters, making sure everything was ready to go if needed. For a while, they didn’t know if they would have to go to Dallas or Boston to receive the Pres-dent. Pace said
after the Kennedy funeral, the military was concerned that they might have to perform at a state funeral ceremony for Eisenhower so they would load the horses in a plane, with soldiers and veterinarians on board, to get the horses used to flying in case they would have to travel to Kansas or elsewhere for a state funeral for the former President. They didn’t want airsick horses. Funeral plans were made for the President and the grey horses were requested. Pace’s normal position was lead rider. Chief Warrant Officer John McKinney, was the leader of the Caisson Platoon. The three riders on the caisson for the Kennedy funeral were:Richard Pace on the lead horse, James Stinton was on the swing (middle) horse and the wheel horse rider was Charles Wade.. Chief section officer was Thomas Settleberg who rode Big Boy alone next to the caisson. After the Kennedy funeral, Pace said Big Boy
had to be put out to pasture because the long ride during the procession on the paved road caused damage to his legs and hoofs. The caparisoned horse used during the funeral was Black Jack, the riderless horse that became famous during the funeral. The caparisoned horse in a military funeral procession is an ancient tradition, symbolizing a fallen leader who will ride no more. A caparison is “an ornamental covering for a horse or for its saddle or harness.” A caparisoned horse with walker will follow a caisson in a funeral at ANC if the deceased was an Army or Marine Corps colonel or above, or had ever served in a mounted outfit. The horse’s tack consists of bridle, saddle and blanket, boots and saber. The boots are turned backward in the stirrups to symbolize the fallen leader looking back over his past life.

Communities Monsanto Fund Grant donated by Frank and Vicki Collop combined with our previous fundraising efforts helped us reach our goal of a Earth Friendly Outdoor Classroom/Playground. Through the DNR grant, a recycling program has been started in our district and community. Recycle bins will be placed on the
playground for community use. Our Earth Friendly Classroom/Playground contains 30,765 recycled milk jugs and 3,054 recycled tires for a total of 61,890 lbs. diverted from landfills. Total project cost of $47,539.
The Longest Night Service is a time to admit that Christmas can be a bittersweet time of the year. All the talk about getting together with family and friends, reminds many people of what and who they have lost, or what they never had. The hurt of broken relationships, the worry of unemployment, the problems of ill health, the pain of isolation - all these can make us feel very much alone in the middle of the celebrating and spending. Our spirits sink as the days grow shorter. We feel the darkness growing deeper around us. We need space and time to recognize our sadness and hurt and to know that we are not alone. We need to feel God’s presence dur-
ing this season and encouragement to live the days ahead of us. So on the longest night, we invite you to experience a quiet worship service that takes time for remembering, sharing our hurting places with God, and preparing our hearts for the coming of Christ. Join with us to hear that God’s presence is for those who mourn, for those who grieve, for those who struggle. God’s Word comes to shines light in our darkness. La Plata United Methodist Church invites you, regardless of what church you go to or if you don’t go to any, to join us December 20 at 7 pm for a Longest Night service. Everyone is welcome - invite a friend.

Jack” Pershing, was the last horse with an Army serial number, 2V56 branded on the left side of his neck, and US branded on his left flank. Arthur Carlson led Black Jack throughout the funeral. The black horse was a spirited animal and Carlson told Pace that the horse stepped on his feet so many times during the procession that Carlson’s shoes had to be replaced. Pace said he was probably the only one to ever ride Black Jack and it was by mistake. He was told to go out in the pasture and get two horses, ride one back and lead one. He got on Black Jack and when he returned to the stable was thoroughly talked to and chewed out for riding the horse that is never to be ridden. On Sunday, Nov. 24, the caisson carried the casket from the White House to the Capitol Building, to lie in state. To reach the White House, the caisson came from the stable at Fort Myer, through Arlington National Cemetery, across
Memorial Bridge, to the courtyard inside the Treasury Building. Pace said the crowd watching wasn’t too big during this part. The morning of Nov. 25 the day of the funeral, everything was prepared and the caisson received Kennedy’s casket at the Capitol went down Pennsylvania Avenue past the White House. At this point, Mrs. Kennedy, Robert and Ted Kennedy, other family members and President Johnson walked behind the caisson as it carried the President to St. Matthew’s Cathedral. The caisson and its riders waited in an area close by during the funeral until the signal was given that the funeral was ending. After the funeral, the caisson received the casket again and the funeral procession from the Cathedral to Arlington Cemetery began The route was lined with soldiers on both sides standing at parade rest. As the caisson neared they would come to attention. It was estimated that Approximately one million

people lined the route of the funeral procession, from the Capitol back to the White House, then to St. Matthew’s Cathedral, and finally to Arlington National Cemetery. Pace said there were so many people, and they were so quiet, paying silent tribute as the procession went by. As lead horseman, Pace was responsible for the pace of the team’s procession. “There were no commands given and we had no special instructions,” Pace said, “ We knew what had to be done and our duty as members of the Old Guard. Although not as an extensive procession route, we had done the
same thing for many veterans before that day and every day afterwards.” Richard Pace said that every veteran that they had the honor of carrying to their final resting place received the same respect and dignity that was provided to President Kennedy He estimates he participated in over one thousand funerals during his time in the Old Guard. Many of those were high ranking military officers and dignitaries. Richard Pace continued a long military career serving tours in Vietnam, receiving a Purple Heart and other honors. He and his wife, Barbara moved to Canton last year.

Statewide, MDC conservation areas cover almost one million public acres for the purpose of restoring and conserving forest, fish and wildlife resources, and for providing opportunities for all citizens to use, enjoy and learn about these resources. Most Missourians are within
a 30-minute drive of an MDC conservation area. “Missourians care about conservation and use conservation areas for many different reasons,” said MDC Director Bob Ziehmer. “These areas help people discover nature through various activities, and help make Missouri a great place to hunt, fish, and enjoy other outdoor activities. We want to know how conservation areas are important to Missourians. Encouraging public comments on Conservation Area Management Plans is part of MDC’s ongoing efforts of working for and with Missourians to sustain healthy forests, fish and wildlife.” Conservation Area Man-

agement Plans focus on natural resource management and public use on conservation areas. The plans do not address regulations on hunting, fishing and other area uses, which are set by the Conservation Commission and enforced under the Wildlife Code of Missouri. MDC will consider all ideas received and will work to balance the issues and interests identified with the responsibility of managing areas for the present and future ben-
efits to forest, fish, wildlife, and people. Decisions on which ideas to incorporate into area plans and on how to best incorporate them will be based on the property’s purpose, its physical and biological conditions and capabilities, the best roles of the property in its local, regional and statewide context, and on the professional expertise of MDC staff.

The ground will break sometime in June in Bevier. Love’s Travel Stop and Country Store, a project that has been in the works for about five years, is about to become reality. Why did it take so long to become fact? According to project manager Steve Walters. “A project of this size takes a lot of effort. Denise Bennett and I looked at several locations and the Bevier/Macon area just makes sense.” Love’s Truck Travel Stop will have gas, a fast food restaurant with drive-thru and a convenience store. There will also be a side
for truck drivers and will target their needs. Merchandise, as well as showers. The establishment will allow for over 60 trucks to park. Originally, Steve Walters looked at Macon for a location. “The Macon intersection was originally ground zero for us,” he said. “We tried Macon but could not find a location. Plus, Bevier had everything we wanted. It had availability, affordability, an interchange already in place, utilities, etc. It just made sense.” The truck stop will be located on the northeast
corner of Highway 36 and Highway O. The closing on the land will be Spring of 2014. “Although we are building in Bevier, the City of Macon is going to benefit from this,” said Walters. “Those employees will probably come from Macon meaning 25 to 40 more people now have a disposable income to spend. And growth spurs growth. Fortunately we are able to look at an area like Bevier and not look at it as what Bevier has to offer, but what 36 has to offer.” The construction will last about 6 months and once complete. C Y

THE SHEPHERD CALLS Dr. H. Wade Paris OBITUARY A Name Above Every Name Many years ago, our family decided to get a pet. I was not thrilled by the idea, but my wife and four children “convinced” me. My objection was overruled, but still we had a problem. Some of the children wanted a dog, and some wanted a cat. Even though I was still in the objective case, my wife lovingly consulted me about this problem. “What should we do?” she asked? In a moment of somber sarcasm, I suggested, “Let’s do both? Yes, get a dog and a cat.” Sage sarcasm often returns to haunt you. Several days later, we had a puppy and a kitten. Now we had the joyous pleasure of selecting names for these new house dwellers. Ever the enthusiastic one about this endeavor, I suggested we name the puppy Cat and the kitten Dog. “Oh, what fun you will have!” I said, “When you call the dog, the cat will come; and when you say, “Here kitty, kitty, kitty,” the dog will come. As you
might expect, my naming rights were squashed more quickly than my veto of a house pet. However, I ask you dear reader, what would be wrong with naming a dog Kitty and a cat Doggy? The above story is a truthful account of my parental ineptness. I remembered the experience while recalling that Jesus was named hundreds of years before his birth. The prophet Isaiah announced, “His name shall be Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace”. (Isaiah 9:6) Despite my failure at naming pets, I admit names are important. In biblical days, names often indicated the character of a person. For example, the name Jacob means supplanter and Esau means hairy. With this thought in mind, we chose names for our four children to indicate what we hoped they would become. More than one of my schoolteachers instructed us students to guard

our names well. The lesson usually went like this, “Your parents have given you a good name. Do not do anything that will soil that name.” Still, no matter what our parents named us, we tend to make a name for ourselves. Sometimes the name we are given and the name we make for ourselves are
the same. Such was the case with Jesus. Given a name many years before His birth, He lived up to that name, “Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace”. Thus, the apostle Paul noted God gave Jesus “a name above every name”. (Philippians 2:9) Amen!

Macon Police Report On 12/01/2013 at approximately 7:50pm, a Macon Police Officer identified a suspect wanted for fleeing from police in the 200 block of North Rubey Street. Upon attempting contact with the suspect, the suspect fled the area on foot, leading officers to pursue him. A short time later, police located the suspect in the area of Vine and Rollins Streets. The suspect was taken into custody without incident at that time. The male suspect was arrested for resisting arrest and was transported to the Macon Police Department for processing. The suspect was then taken to the Macon county Jail where he was placed on 24-hour hold pending formal charges. During this same time frame, municipal warrants were issued for the suspect in a previous incident. Formal charges were later filed in Division II court against Joesph E Mefford, 19 of Shelbina for resisting arrest. The sus-
pect is being held in lieu of $15,000.00 bond. On 12/03/13 at approximately 6:30am, the Macon Police Department responded to a report of a multiple vehicle accident on Highway 36 at Kellogg Avenue. This crash occurred as V2, driven by Donald Foster of Macon, was traveling Northbound on Kellogg Ave. crossing Hwy 36. V2 continued to cross Westbound 36 and was struck by V1, driven by William Brown of Shelbina, which was Westbound on Highway 36. V2 spun and stopped in the middle of Westbound traffic on Hwy. 36. V1 skid, struck V3, traveled off the right side of the roadway and struck a Macon City sign. V3, driven by Edward Tumlin of Macon, had been stopped facing southbound at the stop sign on Kellogg Avenue prior to impact. D1 and a passenger of V1 were transported to Samaritan Hospital in reference to injuries. D1 stated he was
in the right lane when V2 drove in front of them. All three vehicles were towed due to disabling damage. Following this chain of events, another vehicle became involved causing a second accident at the same scene. This accident occurred as V1, driven by Everett Mallett of Bevier, was travelling westbound on Highway 36 approaching the accident scene and struck V2 (of the first accident) which was stopped after impacting a vehicle as mentioned above. V1 of this accident was also towed from the scene. No further injuries were reported as a result of the second accident. The Macon Police Department was assisted by the Macon County Ambulance and the Macon Fire Department at the scene. A criminal charge is merely an allegation and the defendant is, of course, presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.

Public Input Sought For Bee Hollow Conservation Area The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) is in the multiyear process of updating Conservation Area Management Plans and is seeking public input on how conservation areas are important to Missourians. A draft plan for Bee Hollow Conservation Area is available for public review from Dec. 1 to Dec. 31. MDC invites comments from recreational users, neighboring landowners, conservation groups, elected officials, government agencies, and other interested persons or groups. To preview the draft management plan and to share comments online, visit www.mdc. mo.gov/areaplans. Bee Hollow CA is located south of Macon. The area offers hunting and fishing opportunities on 271 acres. It is managed primarily for waterfowl, deer, and turkey. Habitats include forest, wetlands, croplands, and old fields. The wetland pools are managed to provide fall and spring migration habitat while providing habitat for reptiles and amphibians. MDC manages nearly 1,000 conservation areas covering almost one million public acres throughout the state for the purpose of restoring and conserving fish, forest and wildlife resources, and for providing appropriate public use, research and
demonstration areas. Conservation Area Management Plans document strategies for natural resource management and public use on specific conservation areas. Area plans also help communicate an area’s purpose and management direction to staff and interested citizens. “Missourians care about conservation and use conservation areas for many different reasons,” said MDC Wildlife Management Biologist Chad Smith. “These areas help people discover nature through various activities, and help make Missouri a great place to hunt, fish, and enjoy other outdoor activities.” Smith added that most Missourians are within a 30-minute drive of an MDC conservation area. Conservation Area Management Plans do not address regulations on hunting, fishing and other area uses, which are set by the
Conservation Commission and enforced under the Wildlife Code of Missouri. Smith added that encouraging public comments on Conservation Area Management Plans is part of MDC’s ongoing efforts of working for and with Missourians to sustain healthy forests, fish and wildlife. MDC will consider all ideas received and will work to balance the issues and interests identified with the responsibility of managing areas for the present and future benefits to forest, fish, wildlife, and people. Decisions on which ideas to incorporate into area plans and on how to best incorporate them will be based on the property’s purpose, its physical and biological conditions and capabilities, the best roles of the property in its local, regional and statewide context, and on the professional expertise of MDC staff.

The BMC Raiders opened the season Monday Night at the Northwestern Tournament in Mendon. The boys came home with a 51 to 41 victory over Brunswick. “We came out to a good start and went up 16-3 at the end of the first quarter. We went on a good run early in the second quarter as we had our largest lead of the night at 22-3. After this point we never could get our intensity up and we lost all momentum. We were outscored 14-9 in the second quarter. In the third quarter we would outscore Brunswick 14-11 and it was a battle in the 4th quarter as we were outscored 16-12. We are happy to come away with a win tonight; we are the same as a lot of the other teams. We have a lot to work on but we have great upside as well. Hopefully we can get in a routine and start playing better basketball.” Coach Daniel Liebhart The boys came back to the floor to battle Northwestern and advanced to the championship game with a 63 to 47 victory. “We came out pretty hot and outscored N.W. 17-12 in the first quarter. Daniel Hernandez scored a pair of 3’s and Damon Porter would score 11 points in the first quarter including 1 three pointer. In the second quarter we scored 23 points as Hernandez hit another pair of 3’s and Damon Porter would double his scoring as he added 11 more points as well. It was 40-17 at the half. In the third quarter we out scored them 9-8 and in the final quarter they would out score us 22-14. We played a pretty good ball game, the boys worked hard defensively and that was the reason we were able to control the game early.” In the Championship game the Raiders were unable to overcome Meadville and lost 29 to 62. “We were outscored 15-6 in the first quarter and outscored 16-14 in the second quarter. We went to the half down 31-20. We did have several good looks at the basket but we simply didn’t finish shots. In the third quarter we continued to struggle from the floor and were outscored 15-4. In the 4th quarter we were outscored again 16-5. We did several good things in this game; we simply struggled on the offensive end. Meadville does a good job challenging shots but we did get some good looks as well and failed to execute.”

We went to the half down 31-20. We did have several good looks at the basket but we simply didn’t finish shots. In the third quarter we
was against the 5 seed, Green City. Low scoring game for both teams. We struggled to get any shots to fall. I thought we got some good looks at the basket, but just didn’t finish. Morgan Kimmel scored 5, Kalie Lene with 2, Kelsi Hemmerling scored 3, Camrie Feinberg had 4 and Jessica Davison and Hannah Larson each had 2. Final was Green City 25, LaPlata 18. Second round action versus Bevier. Similar results as the first round, decent defense but limited offense. I did see some positive strides on offense, however, and am encouraged by that. We were led in scoring by two of our under classmen - Kalie Lene and Kelsi Hemmerling, each with 9 points. Ally Gregory, Morgan Kimmel, Jessica Davison and Hannah Larson all had 2 points. Final score was Bevier 33, LaPlata 26. 7th place game versus Brashear. I thought we defended pretty well and it was good to see some significant offensive output. We continue to grow and learn as a team. We are still giving up way too many turnovers...mostly unforced errors. Our passing has got to get better. Freshman Kelsi Hemmerling led us in scoring this night with 16, Sophomore Kalie Lene put in 13, Senior Hannah Larson scored 6, Sophomore Ally Gregory with 4, Senior Morgan Kimmel with 4, and Sophomore Jessica Davison had 2. Final score Brashear 15 LaPlata 45. It was a good win for us as we needed that one. Hopefully, we’ll continue to learn and gain confidence. We turn around and face Bevier again on the 10th, and the Bucklin/Macon Co Co-op team on Friday the 13th. Both will be tough opponents for us.” Coach Steve Lightle
continued to struggle from the floor and were outscored 15-4. In the 4th quarter we were outscored again 16-5. We did several good things in this game; we simply struggled on the offensive end.

Miss Penny Visits Santa Claus I can only say I was dumbfounded when I stepped through the door into Santa's workshop. You see I had no idea I was even headed that way when I laid my head down the night before. I was having those normal Christmas jitters. What to buy? When to wrap it? Where to hide it? What to have for dinner? When could I get the entire family together? All the things that run through a Grandma's mind. I remember cold air whistling around my head and pulling the covers tighter around me. I really got cold before I stepped into that workshop. That's why I woke up, but that shop was so cozy and warm I didn't notice it any more. It was the busiest place I had ever been in. There were helpers everywhere. Even reaching from the ceiling where they were hanging bells. It was mass confusion. The bells were tinkling and ringing in a giant cacophony of noise. In the center of the room stood Santa, his arms outstretched. He was the one trying to untangle the ropes full of bells. A helper had one end of the rope fastened to a beam in the ceiling. Some others were going along the beams securing the rope with duct tape as those on the floor
were helping Santa get loose from the rest of the rope and bells. Good old Santa, always good-natured and smiling no matter what mess he might be in. I was standing there in my red flannel nightshirt and knee socks. Someone gave me a green nightcap and green pointy-toed slippers. “If you're here to help you better get busy.” The gruffvoiced little man took my hand and led me to another corner. There were three others doing an assembly line job of making cutout cookies. They quickly showed me how to take a cookie cutter in each hand and stamp out cookies from the dough that was sliding down the table in front of me. I gave it my best shot when another helper told me I was not getting the entire shape in each cookie. There were too many places where I was cutting the shape into an already cut cookie. That would never do. Again a helper took me by the arm and hurried me to where they were putting ride-on toys together. It was a jungle of wheels, pedals, handlebars, and bags of nuts and bolts. Needless to say I was overwhelmed. Santa to the rescue. Having freed himself from the bells he had recognized I
was not one of his regular staff. Since I was on my knees in this jumbled mess he helped me to my feet and led me into his office, a room about the size of a shoebox. When he shut the door all went quiet. Offering me a chair, which I gladly accepted, he also sat down. “What may I ask can I do for you?” He smiled again. “Santa, I can only believe that I am here to try to find a way to enjoy Christmas. You see I always get in such a dither around the

“In the Arena” - 3rd District Legislative Report By State Representative Nate Walker
MISSOURI LIVESTOCK SYMPOSIUM & LEGISLATIVE SPECIAL SESSION During the past week we celebrated the traditional Thanksgiving Day Holiday. As we approach the upcoming week two major things jump out as very distinctive events. First, I am excited that this is the week that the annual Missouri Livestock Symposium is held. The symposium dates and times are Friday, December 6, 2013, 4-9 p.m. and Saturday, December 7, 2013, 8 a.m.–5 p.m. The 2013 Missouri Livestock Symposium will be held at the William Matthew Middle School, 1515 South Cottage Grove in Kirksville, MO. On Friday evening there will be an agriculture related trade show, classic tractor display, and a free beef meal at 6:00 p.m. At 7:00 p.m. the evening program will begin with a welcome comments; introduction and recognition of special quests; the Classic Tractor Contest Winners announced; the announcement and presentation of the Agriculture Educators Lifetime Achievement Award and the Northeast Missouri Livestock Person of
the Year; the evening program will conclude with a keynote address from Dr. Garry Lacefield, University of Kentucky titled “Gratitude and Patriotism: A Personal Perspective”. On Saturday, the ag-related trade show continues with close to fifty different educational seminar type programs and presentations on horses, beef, sheep, stock dogs, meat goats, forages, and other livestock related topics presented by nationally known speakers and experts. During the lunch time between 12 – 2 p.m. there will be a Free Governor’s Style Luncheon. To learn more about the 2013 Livestock Symposium you can go to www.missourilivestock.com. Last year over 2,000 people attended, from eight different states; also, attendees came from 66 of Missouri’s 114 counties. The Missouri Livestock Symposium is a program supported by University of Missouri Extension and is governed by an eighteen member committee of local leaders. The Committee is chaired by Garry L. Mathes and co-chaired by Andy Jackson. I have attended the Livestock Symposium for several years and I will again, for
the third consecutive year, have a booth in the exhibit hall to be available to 3rd District constituents and others attending the Livestock Symposium to discuss legislative, agriculture, livestock, or other issues. Please drop by my booth and say “hi”. I look forward to seeing you there and to visit about whatever is important to you. At the time of writing of this week’s legislative report, it is expected that Governor Jay Nixon may soon be calling the Missouri General Assembly into a Special Session to address a potential jobs and economic development opportunity incentive proposal for the State of Missouri relating to the new Boeing 777X (also known as “The Dreamliner”). We may be in Special Session as early as on Monday, December 2, 2013. I will keep you updated on this as events progress. Regardless of whether or not we do have the Special Session next week, I will be at the State Capitol part of the week for a meeting of the Majority Caucus and other meetings in preparation for the upcoming Regular Session of the 97th General Assembly scheduled to commence on Wednesday, January 8, 2014.
I am grateful for the opportunity serve as your 3rd District State Representative. Please feel free contact to me at any time should you need my assistance and/or if you have something to share with me. My official e-mail address is: nate.walker@house.mo.gov my legislative office number is (573) 751-3647. Together we can make a difference! Thanks and best wishes. NATE WALKER
COURAGE IN THE ARENA-“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.”~ Theodore Roosevelt
