Norris is currently being held in the Macon County Jail in lieu of bond. The Original News Release stated on 09/20/2011 at approximately 3:30am, Macon Police Department officers interrupted a theft in progress
at Rock Hill Mechanical Corporation located at 308 Lake Street in the city limits of Macon after observing a vehicle on the property. As officers approached, 2 male suspects fled the area on foot in a southerly direction of travel. After a short pursuit, officers lost sight of the suspects. A perimeter was set up and back up units were called to assist including the Macon Police Department officers & canine unit, Macon County Sheriff’s Department, Missouri State Highway Patrol and Department of Conservation. Two aircrafts were utilized in the search of the areas surrounding the business. At approximately 8:30am, officers on scene apprehended one suspect, a 26 year old, white male from Kansas City, Missouri. The suspect was
taken into custody and transported to the Macon Police Department for processing. Search for a second suspect continues.

Pictured are just a few of the relics collected by Ron & Russell.
Ron and Raeann Lenzini recently donated a collection of Civil War relics to the Macon County Historical Society Museum in memory of their son, Russell. Ron and Russ shared a love of metal detecting. Russ did the research and Ron provided the labor of finding the remnants of yesteryear. Many of the articles in the collection were found and
excavated in Macon and Macon County as well as other sites in Missouri. Of particular interest are the original documents issued in Macon when the Union forces were encamped here. The Lenzini’s felt these were of historical importance and should remain at the museum as a part of Macon’s Civil War history.

COMMENTARY COMMENT
From the Editors Desk
LIONS CLUB DONATES TO MACON JR. ACHIEVEMENT CLUB
BY KATHY LIEBHART EDITOR kathy@maconhomepress.com
Another year and another float trip. Why do we torture ourselves? Our first float trip could be referred to as a learning experience. That is if we actually learned anything. We were tent camping with friends that went yearly and knew all the ends and outs. We had a great time despite not having sun screen and missing parts of the tent we borrowed along with holes in the air mattresses from being stored for years. The next year I was going to be prepared. I went to purchase our own tent. I found a 4 man tent on display and all the bags of tents were lying nicely around the display. I grabbed one and after checking out I was sure to place it in the back of the car so we wouldn’t forget it. I figured that was one thing already packed and we didn’t have to worry about it. Once we arrived at our spot everyone was setting up camp. I couldn’t wait to get our new tent out since we were the laughing stock of last year with half a tent and no air mattresses. My husband grabbed the bag and we began to set up our camp only to find once we got the tent up it was the size of a child’s pup tent and would only hold our luggage! So here we are, once again, at the butt of our friends jokes. We spent the weekend in the back hatch of our car. Actually one night was enough and we went home early. Our third year was
LIEBHART much better. I was sure to get a tent big enough, a nice queen sized air mattress and all. This year we were prepared. We got there and once again everyone set up camp. I got a few remarks about our tent being too big, but it was great, we had room for a dressing area and room for a queen bed. All the sudden, everyone started laughing hysterically. I was afraid to turn around and see what all the excitement was because I was sure I had done something wrong. I’m happy to say, this was the year the tables were turned. One of our friends purchased a cool folding, rocking chair and as he took it out of the bag to set it up, he found it was just the right size for a 3 year old. We loved it! Finally we could make fun of someone!!! Since then we have been renting cabins when we float, something about turning 40. Now we are venturing on another float trip with a whole new crew. Sad thing is we are the veteran floaters and I still don’t know if we got it right! I do have to say, if you have never been on a float trip, you need to go at least once in our life! It’s a
On June 27, John Lake, and Makala Grahlman made a presentation regarding the Macon Jr. Achievement Club.

Chuck Koopman is show representing the Macon Lions club donating $250.00 in support of the trip.

FAITH
From The Desk Of The Worship Center Who When He Had Found One Pearl Matthew 13: 46 The pearl is formed from a tiny grain of sand hidden in the oyster’s body. Around the soft body is a shell for its protection. The church can be compared to the oyster, easily damaged without the shell of God’s protection. Some would tell us the pearl is Jesus Christ, but it is Jesus who plants the pearl which is the Holy Spirit. II Corinthians 3:6 Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter kills, but the spirit gives life. Regardless of the size, the history, the treasury, the church without the pearl of the Spirit is common, lifeless, and consumed by politics, rituals, and compromise. The word tells us, “Where the Spirit is there is liberty”. This does not suggest that God advocates churches
without good government and order. In no way should a church be full of people doing their own thing and where everyone is his own “loose cannon”. The Spirit does not turn us loose but gathers us up to be led and guided into all Truth. To be effective, God’s church must be in the control of His Holy Spirit. John 16:13 Howbeit when He, the Spirit of Truth, is come, He will guide you into all truth: for He shall not speak of Himself; but whatsoever He shall hear, [that] shall He speak: and He will shew you things to come. The pearl is formed from a grain of sand that causes great irritation. Although the Spirit of Truth can be uncomfortable and rub us the wrong way; when we obey treasures are formed within us. Pastor of the Worship Center Ron Thomason

Every item is welcome and just what it takes to make the news newsy. Peace, Doris Noah

card games Thursday morning, then after lunch we played Bingo in the dining room. It was “Snack� Bingo, so all the residents got to pick from their favorite snack foods when they yelled “Bingo!�. The grand prize winners were Bob Rhoten, Darrell McDowell, and Glenn Wallace. Clark Dobbs, from the Macon First Baptist Church, led Bible study Friday morning. The study title was “Free�. Scripture was read from John 16:5-15. We learned that the Holy Spirit points us to our need for salvation and the truth of how we receive that salvation through Christ. The residents played SkipBo this afternoon. Ronnie Shores came out Saturday morning and shared with the residents his collection of story and music cd’s. We would like to thank Jayne Boleach Smith and Jim Hill for their recent donations to the Care Center.

MU Specialist Offers Tips to Prevent and Treat Heat Illness By Kate McIntyre Even 100-degree temperatures can’t keep many children from heading outside for day camps, baseball drills, marching band practices and theatre rehearsals. A University of Missouri expert on exercise physiology says being mindful of the heat and humidity is essential to preventing heat illness during children’s summer activities. Ball identifies the several incremental stages of heat illness, which if not dealt with immediately, can lead to medical complications and even death: Heat cramps, the first sign of heat illness, are involuntary muscle spasms that can occur during or following physical exertion and generally result from an electrolyte imbalance due to perspiration and excessive loss of salts; Heat exhaustion is a more serious state of heat illness. Its symptoms can include collapsing; excessive sweating; cold, clammy skin; normal or slightly elevated body temperature; paleness; dizziness; weak, yet rapid pulse; shallow breathing; nausea and headache; Heat stroke, the most advanced stage of heat illness, occurs when the body is unable to cool itself. Symptoms of heat stroke can include cessation of sweating; skin that appears dry and hot; strong, rapid pulse and difficulty breathing. People with heat cramps and heat exhaustion should drink more water, reduce the level of intensity of their activities and seek shade. Those suffering from heat stroke need immediate medical attention and can be cooled by raising their feet, removing clothing, submerging them in cold water or placing wet sheets or ice packs on them.
Country Living Yesterday my Grandmother and I took a trip to Rutledge, MO. For those of you that don’t know Rutledge, MO is primarily a Mennonite community and was put on the map because it is home to one of the largest flea markets in Missouri. My Grandma likes to revisit her old stomping grounds about three or four times a year. She loves shopping at Zimmerman’s grocery store buying bushels of peaches, large quantities of spices, pasta, and other various things. She enjoys going to the Meat Market where beef and pork is smoked and butchered weekly if not daily. Her and my Grandfathers trips to Rutledge started so many years ago I cannot remember when they didn’t make the hour trip to Northeast Missouri. Years ago my grandparents were regulars at Compton’s Auction Barn in Callao, MO. They would attend dealer’s auctions and buy new items in large quantities. They bought what they were interested in Grandma bought touch lamps, comforters, figurines, jewelry, and many other things. Grandpa bought tools, knives, cast iron bells, lighters, fishing poles, and really whatever would make money. They would pack up the van during the week which held all their items. Then, when they would get off work on Friday, up north they would go. Dad would take us up on Saturday morning. Grandma and Grandpa had a small camper that they slept in. Sometimes we would spend the night too, but usually we went home Saturday night because vendors were just set up on Friday and Saturday. On Sunday the vendors packed up and went home. Most families on go vacations, we went to Rutledge. We had so much fun, back then, the concessions stand sold pop in glass bottles. We could turn in our empty glass bottles and in exchange receive 10 cents. We would gather bottles from everywhere. We would ride on the bumpers of cars or trucks to the South end of the flea market and work our way back towards Grandma
and Grandpa’s stand. We would look in the trash cans, we would ask people for their bottles when they were finished, and of course we had ours that we drank. I guess it was like a scavenger hunt in many ways. We thought we were really doing something. We always had money to make a small purchase if we wanted too, but there was something about working so hard for that money, that made us not want to spend our money on nonsense. When we got older we would earn money watching the stand for grandma and grandpa as they went to look around or visit with their friends. Dad or Grandma gave us money to eat on, but what satisfaction it was to have a twenty dollar bill in your hand that you earned 10 cents at a time. Once my brother, Anthony who was about 8 years old, got a dog out of the stray dog pen, which was a pen that people would put dogs in if they were running loose or didn’t have an owner. The dog was a Red Bone, which was free to him, he fed it and walked around with it on a leach and ended up selling it for twenty dollars. That story is still a family favorite. Eventually, my grandparents ended up buying a house in the town of Rutledge. We usually all spent the night then. Sometimes we would all go up to Arbela, MO to a restaurant and devour “All You Can Eat Catfish”. I have so many memories of my family at Rutledge. So many things have changed and it isn’t the same place I remember as a child. It’s still fun to go look around, but many of the old timers we knew are gone. As I walk by those broken down stands, in a way, I still expect to see some of our old friends or have them say, “Tell your grandparents and dad, come supper time, to come on up, we have ham and beans on.” Now, others have taken their place, as someday someone will take ours, but the memories are mine to keep forever. That’s Life in the Country.
My Grandma likes to revisit her old stomping grounds about three or four times a year. She loves shopping at Zimmerman’s grocery store buying bushels of peaches, large quantities of spices, pasta, and other various things.

Games, animals and food. Oh my! 9 PROVEN EXPERIENCE “I am the only candidate for the Office of Sheriff that has any homicide investigation experience.” 9 PROVEN LEADERSHIP “I have always believed that the head of any law enforcement agency should wear a uniform and work side-by-side with their officers in all levels of criminal investigation. This is the only way to remain in touch with day to day operations, and identify ways to improve operations. I have done this for the last 20 years as Sheriff and I will continue this every day of my next term.” 9 PROVEN FISCAL MANAGEMENT “I am the only candidate for the Office of Sheriff that has ever managed a budgeted Sheriff’s Office and Jail. In 2011 following two vacancies, I reorganized and combined four positions into two. After this restructure and a change in investigative case management, my office saw a 200% increase in burglary arrests, while at the same time saving tax payers approximately $57,000 in two full time salaries.”
All this and more could be found at the Shelby County and Macon County fairs this week. There was a large assortment of animals to include sheep, goats, cows, and chickens to mention a few. Crafts, baked goods, cured hams, plants, woodworking projects and scrap booking were also judged. The ex-
citement of the competition could be seen on the faces of participants as they hoped to be among those chosen to be State Fair Bound. The Shelby County Fair hosted many other activities as well including inflatable games, a sand volleyball tournament, Barbecue cook-off, car show, outhouse races,
demolition derby, and musical entertainment to name a few. Both Shelby and Macon County fairs included a baby show, Little Mr. & Miss contests, and the crowning of fair royalty. Macon County Fair included a youth exhibitor dance, and Olympics Games.
MACON COUNTY 4-H ROYALTY
The Macon Town and Country Fair crowned their King and Queen Tuesday night at the Macon County Fairgrounds.

Timmy Johnston, son of Mark and Frankie Johnston was crowned 4-H Prince while Sarah Bartholomew, daughter of Shawn and Mary Bartholomew, was crowned 4-H Princess.
MACON COUNTY 4-H AWARDS
9 PROVEN DEDICATION “When Re-Elected I will serve the FULL term of office, in which the citizens have placed their trust and expectations in me.” 9 PROVEN COMMUNITY LEADER “Our Community Service Program provides offenders with a positive alternative to jail. Through community service work they give back to the community for their crimes. Since I started the program last summer, 70 volunteers have completed over $20,000 worth of labor benefiting every corner of the county.”
Kaylee Johnston received 2 blue ribbons in Best of Old Hens at the Shelby County Fair. She showed a White and Buff Laced Polish Hen.
Taylor Johnston received 2 blue ribbons and 1 red ribbon at the Shelby County Fair. She showed a Pullet Barred Rock and received Grand Champion in Champion Jr. Showmanship.
Shelby County Fair Scenes
9 TOUGH ON PROPERTY CRIME “Macon County’s burglary arrest rate is DOUBLE that of the national average, and during my tenure we have seen a 63% increase in arrests for stealing.” 9 TOUGH ON DRUG CRIME “In 2011, collectively of all law enforcement agencies (state, and local) in the county, arrested 76 persons for violating Missouri’s drug laws; the Macon County Sheriff’s Office made 56.5% of those arrests.”
