What Happened To Shockey’s Mill?

Charlotte Grigsby

Ft. Madison, IA 86 POUNDS OF UNWANTED MEDS COLLECTED BY MACON POLICE The Macon Police Department, in conjunction with the Macon Municipal Utilities and Macon Co PWSD #1, collected 86 pounds of unwanted medications during the National Prescription Drug Take Back Event this past Saturday . Our previous totals included April 2012 at 83 pounds and October 2011 at 42 pounds, bringing our overall total over 200 pounds already. During the event this past weekend, sites across the State of Missouri collected over 17,000 lbs.

These medications have picked up by the DEA to be incinerated instead of landing in our toilets, landfills and eventually our water supply. They are also out of reach to avoid misuse, abuse &/or accidental poisonings.

Thanks to everyone participating.

Please watch for a future Drug Take Back event in Spring 2013.

LOCAL YOUTH COMPETE AT STATE Lane Blackford of the Easy Riders 4-H club, Macon, MO, competed alongside 148 other youth from 47 counties at the State 4-H Public Speaking Contest on September 22.

Speakers ages 8-18 competed in one of five categories: prepared speaking, technology-assisted speaking, extemporaneous speaking, interpretation and public service announcement. “Public speaking is a life skill that’s key to future success,� said Tracie Moore, Macon County 4-H Youth Development Specialist “This contest takes those communication skills learned in our county 4-H program and tests them on a larger stage, with some very stiff competition.� While competition is encouraged, it’s actually a means to an end, said Bradd Anderson, state 4-H Youth Specialist, who coordinates the event. “Trophies can be great motivators,� said Anderson, “but the larger goal is youth development. It’s all about the communication skills they develop while striving to win.�

Missouri 4-H is a program of MU Extension. For more information, visit http://4h.missouri.edu or contact the Macon County MU Extension Center at 660-385-2173.

Dedication, desire and hard work. Seven days a week for five weeks, (1100 hours) Harold Burkhardt, Ron Watts, Leroy Noble and Ralph Klusman dedicated themselves to preserving Shockey’s Mill.

When Ted and Linda Clardy were offered J.O. Shockey’s 184 acres there was no question about accepting it,

as well as the building called Shockey’s Mill. The mill sat for years until one day, Ted and Linda decided they needed to do something to avoid further ransacking that was occurring and possible destruction. That was when they offered it to the Macon County Historical Society, and the rest, as they say, is history!

The first question was how to move it, but that is just what they did. According to Harold Burkhardt, the first step was to move the machines. After that, each piece of lumber was dismantled, moved to the new location and reassembled.

The main thing they had to replace was the flooring in the upper floor as the wood was

too swollen and couldn’t be removed without ruining it.

They also replaced the windows with Plexiglas rather than glass to avoid someone getting hurt. The original iron hinges, knobs and handles, which were made by Walter Shockey, were also used. The

4H Members Get A Taste Of College Life Remingtyn Bealmer, Sheridyn Bealmer, Rebecca Helton, Abagail Pierce, Jackie Rowe and Anne Thomas from Macon County were among 128 Missouri youth that participated in a clothing construction and consumerism contest during State 4-H Fashion Review on September 8 on the University of Missouri campus. “This contest is designed to be fun, while helping youth enhance their skills and knowledge about sewing, garment selection, knitting

and crocheting and the importance of setting and achieving goals,� said Alison Copeland, MU 4-H youth specialist. “State 4-H Fashion Revue is also about exposing young people to the research, education and other efforts MU is doing in these areas. We want them to see what they might be able to do with their interests at a university like MU.�

The participants, ranging in ages 8-18, participated in a local fashion revue competition either in their county or regional area that qualified

them to participate in the state contests. Jackie Rowe placed 2nd in the senior division of clothes you buy, Sheridyn Bealmer placed 2nd in the junior division of clothes you buy and Rebecca Helton placed 4th in the senior division of general clothes you make.

Fashion Revue participants also gathered in the Memorial Union on the campus to learn about other topics such as public speaking and to participate in a service learning project that included making

35 weighted blankets for children with autism. The blankets were donated to a statewide organization that will distribute them to families in need. The participants learned about developmental disabilities and experienced the satisfaction that comes from helping others.

Missouri 4-H is a program of MU Extension. For more information, visit http://4h. missouri.edu or contact the Macon County MU Extension Center at 660-385-2173.

In July 2012, Christy Riekeberg, RN Director of Nursing at Loch Haven was nominated as an inspiring leader in the Timberland PRO Renova Healthcare Appreciation Contest. She won the grand prize, which consisted of 14 pairs of Timberland PRO Renova professional shoes, water bottles, and lanyards for many of the staff, a $2000 value. Staff members were chosen by a random drawing to receive the pairs of shoes and other gifts.

Christy was interviewed by The Nerdy Nurse Blog. When asked what inspired her to go into nursing her response was, “ Unlike a lot of nurses, in my family, we had no nurses. I was born and raised in a farming community. When I graduated from high school, the county nursing home was across the street from the school. Unsure of my career path, I decided to work there for the summer. I spent that summer working night shift as a nursing assistant. Those residents had such an influence on my life, by fall I realized I wanted to pursue nursing. I attended the LPN program at the closest vocational technical school and went to work at the acute care hospital.

I quickly realized that acute care was not my calling. I married and the opportunity

presented itself for me to attend the associate degree nursing program at the community college. I graduated, applied to Loch Haven Nursing home as a graduate nurse and have been there 24 years.

I have been the Director of Nursing for four years.� “During my nursing career, I have had the opportunity to care for many of my family members during their last days.

My grandmother was an inspiration to me growing up. She was a very spiritual lady and truly lived by the golden rule.

When she was diagnosed with breast cancer and made the decision she could no longer live alone, she chose to come to Loch Haven. I was able to give back to her during those final days...this was my gift to one of the ladies who truly inspired my life.�

THE CUT TO THE CHASE HOME It’s The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown PRESS By Tracy Grondine water, so, the lack of pre- pie filling (nearly 90 percipitation hasn’t been bad cent of U.S. processing North Edition 660-332-4431

Pumpkins have come to symbolize autumn. They are found nearly everywhere—as carved out, litup faces dotting porches on Halloween night, at pumpkin patches, and in kitchens across America.

So, understandably, the great use of pumpkins around this time of year, coupled with the recent drought, have left many people worried about the season’s hottest commodity.

Fortunately, experts say that pumpkin carving, pie baking and other pumpkincentric activities this fall will not be affected by the drought. As long as pumpkins receive precipitation at the right time, they are one of the few crops that does fairly well in drought conditions. Pumpkin rinds are susceptible to diseases that come from too much

for this year’s pumpkins.

In fact, experts say that this harvest is just as good as last year’s—if not better.

While pumpkin quantity is looking good, so is the quality. The top pumpkin-producing states are reporting that this year’s crop is in good shape. Illinois, Michigan, Ohio, New York, Pennsylvania, New York and California all claim that the overall ornamental pumpkin crop, which is used primarily for jack-o-lanterns, is in much better shape than a year ago, especially for farmers with irrigation systems in place. Disease is low and farmers are expecting a normal yield. Some farmers even claim this year’s pumpkins are the best ever.

Bakers, too, can rejoice.

Illinois, where the most pumpkins are grown for

pumpkins are grown in the state) reports that the crop is on track.

And that’s not only great for consumers, it’s good for the agriculture industry. On average, total U.S. pumpkin production in major producing states has a farm-gate value of around $118 million. The final retail value is estimated to be $850 million. The pumpkin is an example of the relatively small share farmers receive of the retail dollar. Around 14 percent of the total pumpkin price goes to farmers, while the remaining 86 percent goes toward processing, transportation and marketing.

On average, a farmer receives $11.26 per every 100 pounds of pumpkins he or she produces.

It really is the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown.

What Happened To Shockey’s Mill?

Continued From Page 1A only structural change was to make the door slide from right to left instead of left to right due to a brick chimney flue being in the way.

A special door was built into the 2nd floor of the society’s building.

Lumber, parts and the equipment were hoisted up 20 feet with a forklift. Previously, large and heavy pieces had to be dismantled and carried up by muscle alone, according to Ron Watts.

One must see the building to appreciate the hard work it took to move and re-build it. There is a beauty in the wood (oak, C Y

M K

pine and walnut) that has to be seen. Luckily, the structure and the equipment stood the test of time as the building was neglected since J.O. Shockey passed in 1957.

The mill was built in 1905.

Farmers would travel miles to have their grain ground. The story goes that if the farmer had to wait, he would camp on their land until it was “his turn�. During his wait, J.O.’s wife would make sure the customers were taken care of and fed. “It was what she was expected of her and what she did� said Linda.

J.O. would also make

trips to Macon to sell his bags of flour and grain to local customers. One of the bags can be seen at the museum, still in pristine condition as if the 100 plus years had not even passed.

Shockey’s Mill and many, many other fascinating historical pieces can be seen at The Macon County Historical Society on Highway 63, just west of Lakeside Towers, and next to the YMCA. They are open Thursday and Friday 2-4 p.m., Saturday 10 a.m.-12 p.m. Other hours by appointment, call 660-395-6754 or 660-3955135.

THE SHEPHERD CALLS

Sacrificial Service

by Dr. H. Wade Paris Today’s news reports fatalities in our elevenyear War in Afghanistan have passed the 2,000 mark.

The article indicated most folk have forgotten the Afghan War. I have not forgotten. I am proud of our military and honored to pay tribute to it. Our military personnel are not forced into service; they volunteer to enter the line of fire to protect us.

We used to draft young men into the military. At age 18, guys registered and Uncle Sam could call them into duty whenever he chose. The draft ended in 1973 over the objections of many who believed it would be impossible to maintain a military machine with volunteers

only.

Obviously, the doomsayers were wrong.

Our nation has since fought numerous conflicts with courageous volunteers.

Indeed, recently—right or wrong—we were involved in multiple wars.

Now you may ask, “How can this be? Why do young people willingly place themselves in harm’s way?” There are as many answers as there are military personnel. However, this phenomenon underscores several truths about our great country.

There are those who believe our country has lost its character, and people of today care only for themselves. If that were true, it would be impossible to staff our armed forces solely with

volunteers.

Love of country has always been important to us Americans. It was Patrick Henry who first cried, “Give me liberty or give me death”, and that was before we were a country. For several years, I lived in Tennessee.

While there, I shared my state’s pride in being the Volunteer State, i.e. the state with the most military volunteers in the War of 1812 and the Mexican War. Of those who volunteer, some explain, “It’s a man thing. Young men need to prove themselves.”

Perhaps, but today’s military is “manned” by many young women as well as men, proving selfsacrifice is not limited to the male population.

Arthur Harold Head, Jr. Sacrificial service is an excellent sign of character.

It was to that nobleness of humanity that Jesus made His appeal. He said, “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men”.

Another time he said, “The servant of all is the greatest of all”. However, His most demanding appeal is, “If anyone would be my disciple, let them take up their cross and follow me”.

Jesus never painted Christianity as a bed of roses but rather as a life of self-sacrifice. It is not for sissies. It is for people of character. Perhaps that is why Jesus said, “It’s a narrow way, and few find it”.

Truman State University Enrollment Reaches 14 Year High Enrollment at Truman State University is up from last year and at its highest level in 14 years and the University’s retention and graduation rates continue to increase.

Official enrollment statistics were recently compiled and show Truman with a 2.2 percent increase in the number of students from the previous year. The University now counts 6,237 students in total, with a majority, 5,872, enrolled

as undergraduates. The Truman student body hails from 106 Missouri counties, 38 states and 54 countries. More than 90 percent are enrolled on a full-time basis.

The University has also seen an increase in the freshman to sophomore retention rate (89%) and the six-year graduation rate reached a new high of 73.6 percent.

Truman has the highest graduation rate among Missouri’s public colleges

and universities and approximately 50 percent of Truman’s graduates pursue an advanced degree immediately after graduation.

Truman has the unique distinction of being the designated statewide public liberal arts and sciences university for the state of Missouri.

U.S. News & World Report’s 2013 edition of “Best Colleges” ranked Truman as the No. 1 public university in the

Midwest region for the 16th consecutive year. In the Washington Monthly September/October 2012 magazine, Truman was recognized as the No. 6 master’s university in the nation. Truman was the only Missouri school listed in the top 50 and the only public Missouri school on the entire Top 100 Master’s Universities list.

COMMENTARY COMMENT

INTERNATIONAL WALK TO SCHOOL DAY

Blonde But Blunt

BY BECKY JEFFCOAT EDITOR/PUBLISHER lpnews@marktwain.net

Well I hope your week was good! I spent mine trying to remember where I was supposed to be. LOL The past couple weeks I worked at the ER Admissions window on the 11:30 p.m. to 7:30 a.m. shift, as my friend Colby took some vacation days and I covered her shift. Besides that shift, I also worked my day job at the Home Press, selling ads, gathering information, updating the website and taking pictures, only to find myself almost falling asleep in certain situations, so if you find an over amount of typos in this weeks paper, please keep it to yourselves. LOL Na, just kidding, bring it on, I can take it, I’ll just cry. (hehe) After the week was over, on Friday evening I kept Quinci Jo while Sam worked and hoped she would go to bed early, but forgot that I had to run to Kirksville with Sara and Daniel (her boyfriend) to get stuff for her baby shower on Saturday. So, that said, we were in Kirksville until 10:00 p.m. and then Quinci, of course, isn’t tired when we get home, cause she has slept in the truck all night. Good Grief!

Anyway, got to bed around midnight, got up around 8:00 a.m., baked about 6 dozen cookies, made a pot of chili, made 20 peanut butter sandwiches, did some laundry, finished Sara’s gift, loaded the truck and got to the 1:00 p.m. shower at oh, around 12:40 p.m., unloaded the truck, got tables set up, got the gift in, realized the punch ingredients were still at home, so sent the kids home for it, then forgot the frozen orange juice mold for the punch, sent Skyler back home again. Finally got the punch made and sat down to visit with friends and family and then the shower begins. Just after we ate, Sara began opening gifts and right in the middle, I had to run out to the sports complex, as the LHS girls softball team was playing in the championship game vs. the Bevier Wildcats and since my friend, Susan, had been texting me scores each inning, I knew I had to fly out for a picture of the LHS Girls District Champs. Yup, we won the game 10-4. Go Bulldogs.

Anywho, back to the shower, missed the opening of gifts, had some cake and cleaned up, loaded the truck again, bringing her loot home and all the food leftovers, unloaded the truck and sat down for a few, then up and did not one, not two, but three sinks full of dishes.

Sammie brought Quinci

JEFFCOAT over around 5:00 p.m. and we started over, on the “I’m not tired memaw” attitude. LOL, she can’t talk, only six months, but I knew if she could, that’s what she’d be saying, while laughing at me.

Sara babysat while I ran to the Adair County Young Farmers Truck and Tractor Pull for a few pictures, in the bitter cold temperatures. LOL Anyway, back home and Quinci Jo and I fell asleep in the chair around 9:30. LOL Sunday........ I sat around the house ALL DAY, never even went outside. And I was still so tired, my eyes were closing around 6:45.

And that is where we are right now. I’m thinking that I will try to stay up till around 9:00 and then hit the hay.

All in all it was a very very very busy week for me, still managed to work about 70 hours and didn’t break a rib. LOL (That’s for all of you who follow my column, I’m easily broken).

But I’m so excited to have Baby Lee almost here.

Three weeks or so and I’ll be memaw for the second time this year. I’m so excited. Which makes working my rear off even more “okay”. I’ve provided for my children since day one and they are all now providing for themselves, so now, I get to just spoil the little ones. :) Cause that’s what memaws do.

Don’t forget the LHS Lady Bulldogs will be playing on Wednesday night at the La Plata Sports Complex for the Sectional Title against the Knox County Eagles at 6:00 p.m.

“Get Your Red On”!! If they win, the next game will be on Saturday, October 13th, where and what time to be determined. So keep watching our website at www.maconhomepress. com for complete sporting results.

The junior high ball teams will be playing at the Green City tournament this week on Thursday and Friday, so will see you there.

Another long week for the press, but we are committed to bringing you the news!!!

La Plata Elementary celebrated International Walk to School Day on October 3rd. Students, Parents, and LES Staff met in the park at 7:30am to begin their trek to the elementary school. Along the way, students danced to the tune, “Dinosaur Walk.” There were well over 100 students participating in LES’s 2nd Annual Walk to School Event.

FAITH

FROM OUR READERS

Pastor’s Corner

Andrew Jackson

There was a day when the disciples saw another man casting out demons in the name of Jesus. They tried to stop him. We don’t know if they were successful in stopping him or not. They reported this to Jesus saying they tried to stop him because “he wasn’t following us” (Mark 9:38, CEB). Jesus told them not to stop him because “no one who does powerful acts in my name can quickly turn around and curse me” (verse 39, CEB).

From this story we can assume that these disciples were already infected with something many churches today deal with. Some churches get to feeling like they are the only ones who have cornered the market on doing works for the kingdom of God. They feel like they are the only ones carrying the true message of Jesus Christ to the world. They feel like the other churches who claim to follow Jesus are wrong somehow.

This passage tells us that it is not the case that only one church or congregation or denomination is the correct one.

Anyone who claims to be a follower of Jesus, no matter what name they hang on their building, is legitimate. Our only concern should be whether or not they work they do

Dear Home Press Editor: Andrew Jackson (17671845) was the seventh president of the United States. He admitted on his last day in office, to having just two regrets. He “had been unable to shoot Henry Clay, or hang John C. Calhoun.” Clay was a National Republican who ran against Jackson in 1832 and lost. Calhoun was Jackson’s vice-president during his first term in office. Calhoun was not Jackson’s brand of Democrat. Calhoun cared more about States Rights then he did about the continuance of the Union. Jackson swore that he (Jackson) would die with the Union.

These two different trains of thought, would collide on the battlefields of the American Civil War. Andrew Jackson is famous for his willingness to fight duels. How many duels he fought, has no consistent answer in the history book. Most dueling pistols of that era were smooth bore and inaccurate. However, if the agreed rules are “take five paces, turn and fire” it was still possible to have a double fatality. Without a doubt, Jackson killed at least one man in a duel.

Another fact that the history books agree on is this: Jackson carried two different bullets from two different quarrels in his body, for nearly 20 years. One

THOMAS glorifies God and Jesus or only themselves.

There are many churches that are all doing the work that is pleasing to God. There are many churches that are bearing fruit for the kingdom of God. We have different churches and denominations somewhat because of difference in laws that men have established for their church or group of churches. But also because it impossible for human beings t agree on every detail of faith, so we have many different groups that are all trying to help people get to the goal of eternal life. We are different in our emphasis, but no t in our core belief in Jesus as Savior.

Pastor Denzil Thomas Atlanta, Mt. Zion, and La Plata United Methodist Churches

bullet cracked two ribs upon entry and remained so close to the heart, that the surgeons of that period would not even dare to practice their art. The other slug, lodged in his arm. The surgeons recommended amputation. Jackson refused. Duels were affairs of honor, and Jackson had no shortage of honor to defend.

The more things change, the less they remain the same. In Jackson’s day “gun control” meant being able to hit the target you were aiming at. Today “gun control” is an attempt to nullify and void the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which addresses the public’s right to keep and bare arms. “Hanging”, a form of capitol punishment used widely in centuries past: is today restricted to on state.

Jackson also fought with money. In January of 1835, he paid off the entire national debt. The one and only time n U.S. history that this feat has been accomplished. Hooray for Andrew Jackson’s willingness to pay off the entire national debt. Another president like him will not be seen in our time. Andrew (Old Hickory) Jackson, the original Democrat right-wing extremist.

Sincerely, Danny Yochum Hannibal, Missouri

COMMENT

From The Mayor’s Desk Most, if not all of you, are aware by now that the planned change-over to the new electrical generators didn’t happen and as we are getting volumes of complaints at City Hall, I feel it necessary to enlighten the community with a few facts.

On Friday evening while at dinner at a Kirksville eatery, I received a phone call from a Council member stating that he and another Councilman had called off the planned switchover operation and were in the process of notifying all 3-phase motor owners within town.

His stated reason when asked, was that they “didn’t like the engineer’s personality” and they had talked with an old electrician and he had told them the changeover wouldn’t work and would “blow”

every 3-phase motor in town. This was despite the fact that the old electrician hadn’t been involved in this process in anyway and the City’s engineer supervising this operation had been used many times and was intimately involved with this project for many months.

Needless to say, I was shocked. I immediately called the City Administrator at this home and he didn’t know anything about it either.

I don’t believe that “not liking the engineer’s personality” is a valid reason for the cancelling this or any other project.

Trusting an old electrician, although is a good guy, who has never been involved in this process in any way is not a valid reason either.

The City has used this

engineer and firm a lot in the past and had no problems with his work. The City Administrator had personally met and talked this project over many times with the electrical engineer from Missouri Public Utility Alliance (MPUA) of which we are a member organization.

He has also had Caterpillar Corp. involved as they are the makers of the new generators.

This was a good and solid plan. The fact that two Councilmen have a hard time coping with any type of public criticism will now cost the city a bundle of money, especially if we have to hire and bring in new engineers and start the process all over again.

If you complain, I will understand, as all four Councilmen have cell

MAYOR THOMPSON phones and their numbers aren’t readily available to the public. What a convenience for them.

I sincerely want to apologize for any inconvenience for failure to make the changeover, as I know many, not just a few, of you made extended efforts to accommodate us, your customers and your businesses.

IRS Urges Paid Tax Preparers to Take Competency Test Now The Internal Revenue Service today urged almost 6,000 Missouri tax return preparers to immediately schedule their competency test or risk difficulty finding a date, time or location as the exam deadline nears next year. For most of these, the appropriate test will be the Registered Tax Return Preparer competency test.

The Registered Tax Return Preparer test has been available since November 2011. Tax professionals who are Enrolled Agents, Certified Public Accountants, and attorneys are exempt from the test, as are certain non-signing preparers and those who do not prepare the Form 1040 series.

The RTRP test is being administered by Prometric, Inc., which has 260 testing sites nationwide.

A Note to the Voters of Macon and Shelby Counties of the 41st Judicial District During my time as Shelby County Sheriff, I had many contacts with Rick and found that he is very knowledgeable, reliable and prepared in his profession. He is also a strong supporter of law enforcement. I urge you to support and vote for Rick Tucker in the November election. I certainly feel that he will be a circuit judge that we can all be proud of.
