Researchers at Oklahoma State University have found that 1 in 105k bovine pregnancies are triplets; 1 in 250 are twins. This is the farm's seventh set of multiples this year. The family is asked locals to help name the three heifers by commenting on their Facebook page. The family decided on the names of Betty Jo, Bobbie Jo and Billie Jo, from the show Petticoat Junction.

Missouri Highway Patrol On ATV Safety And Regulations
Whether it is a cold, winter day after a fresh snowfall or a warm, lazy summer day, riding your all-terrain vehicle (ATV) can be both a fun and relaxing experience. Unfortunately, this mode of transportation has resulted in tragic crashes, which have led to needless deaths and injuries. Preliminary statistics indicate that in 2012, 211 ATV riders were injured and eight killed in Missouri traffic crashes involving an ATV. During that same year, 11 individuals lost their lives in ATV crashes on private property and 121 were injured. The fact is many ATV users don’t consider the dangers or understand the legalities of speeding down a rural highway, crossing a creek, or enjoying the scenery as they travel on or near a set of railroad tracks. So, let’s examine some of the regulations that apply to both the legal and safe use of an ATV. First, within 30 days of purchasing an ATV, you must apply for a certificate of ownership. The issued decal must be affixed to the right front fork or frame of the vehicle, where it is clearly visible. Have you ever observed
a teen operating an ATV on a highway or a county road and wondered if it was legal? Well, our statutes state no person shall operate an ATV upon the highways unless the vehicle is owned and operated by the government for official use, or operated for agricultural purposes between the hours of sunrise and sunset. Handicapped individuals may occasionally operate an ATV on secondary roads and governmental bodies may also issue permits to licensed drivers for special use within city limits or on a county road. However, the operator must have a valid driver’s license and shall operate the ATV at speeds less than 30 miles per hour. Please keep in mind that the term “highway” applies to any road open to the public, including those that are dirt or graveled. You should be aware that the property on either side of the road, which is owned by MoDOT and commonly referred to as the right-ofway, also is considered to be part of the highway. The law requires ATV operators to also have permission from the property owner, if operating an ATV on their land, and that the operator stop and identify him or herself if requested by the landowner. The operator must also remove their ATV from the property at the owner’s request. If you desire to ride along and across streams, it must
be done either on your property or within streams where the landowner has granted you permission. Railroad tracks and the maintained property on either side of the tracks is owned by the railroad and it is neither safe nor legal to ever operate an ATV on that property. Missouri law also states that with the exception of private property owned by the operator’s parents or guardian, no person under the age of 16 shall operate an ATV within this state unless he or she is accompanied by or under the direct supervision of a parent or guardian, or is with an adult who is authorized by the parent or guardian. It is also a violation to operate an ATV in a careless and imprudent manner so as to endanger the person or property owner, while under the influence of alcohol or any controlled substance, with a passenger unless
for agricultural purposes, or violate any of the other rules of the road. Safety equipment starts with a helmet and it is required for all ATV users under 18 years of age. Other required items when operating an ATV on a highway include a lighted headlamp and tail lamp, a slow moving equipment emblem mounted on the rear of the ATV, and a bicycle flag attached to the rear of the ATV that extends at least seven feet above the ground. Every year, the Missouri State Highway Patrol investigates far too many serious ATV crashes. First, make sure the ATV is the right size for the operator. Secondly, the Patrol encourages all ATV users to attend a certified safety course. Finally, keep in mind that the laws regarding ATV use are in place to keep everyone safe and should be strictly adhered to.

Developing Successful Downtown Retail Presentation By Sharon Coram, Home Press staff
Some changes might be on the horizon for some stores in downtown Macon. April 24, 2013 marked a visit from Sara Tetley. Sara is an architect at PGAV Destinations
who specializes in retail design. She has had nearly 20 years experience including special retail projects at the Gateway Arch in St. Louis. Along with PGAV Planners, Sara has
conducted several retail consultations for businesses in the participating DREAM communities. She spent the day with a few downtown businesses, including Long Branch Embroidery, giving them one-on-one recommendations. In the afternoon, she gave a public presentation at Jaeger’s Coffee House called “Developing Successful Downtown Retail Presentation” describing techniques and strategies to convert visitors into loyal customers. These ideas included appearances outside such as flowers, window design and interior display. The DREAM Initiative is a partnership between
the Missouri Department of Economic Development, Missouri Development Finance Board and Missouri Housing Development Commission. It provides communities across the state with access to technical and financial assistance for downtown revitalization. Macon was designated a DREAM community in 2008 and work began in 2009 with a focus on building revitalization, streetscape enhancements, and improving the mix of uses within Downtown.

COMMENTARY Blonde But Blunt BY BECKY JEFFCOAT EDITOR/PUBLISHER lpnews@marktwain.net
Awww, the sweet sweet smells of Spring, the wonderful sounds of birds, the newly born calves and the faint noises of the lawnmowers and weed trimmers working on yards in the neighborhood. I love Spring. Being able to visit the ballparks at any given night of the week, watching those little ones, who are just beginning to learn the game of the field, seeing them miss the bases and go back or listening to their coaches direction and just having that “what are you talking about” look on their face. Or seeing them catch a ball and get someone out at first base and then smiling from ear to ear because they know “they did it”. These are some of the little things we take for granted. I miss my kids playing ball, what I don’t miss is the extra laundry, the kids playing at different parks on the same night, arguing on where to eat on the way home or not getting to go to the lake the day of a game. I swear, I had a kid at the lake every day, just not all three at the same time, unless it was a weekend. Sammie and Skyler would of lived at the Santa Fe if they could of pitched a tent. And I didn’t mind, it was cheap family entertainment and good exercise. I thank the heavens for Linda Moore and Nancy Haley, Randy Bunch and Kerry Green, who seemed to be there everyday and watched over all the little ones and big ones in the water. I think the rule is, if they are under 12 they can’t be there without an adult, and even though mine were of age, you still worry about them. The caretakers can’t be baby sitters and Lord knows they don’t get paid enough anyway. I know I couldn’t deal with that many kids
JEFFCOAT everyday without losing my mind. But, they love the kids, enjoy the sun and became part of our summer family! Thank You!! Where else for $35.00 a year can you swim everyday! Fish everyday! Play volleyball with friends everyday! Enjoy the sun on a blanket with a book or earphones everyday! Rent a Paddle boat everyday! Play “Marco Polo” in the water at the high dive everyday! BBQ everyday if you chose! Or just drive out, sit in the sun, visit with friends and relax everyday! Yup, the La Plata Santa Fe Lake! Tons of Fun and Tons of Sun! The lake opens Memorial weekend and closes Labor Day weekend! Three months of tanning, swimming, boating, fishing and relaxing! Hope to see you there! Not only will the lake season begin Memorial Day weekend, so does camping weekend! Love camping! Wish they would put some camping spots at the Santa Fe! Two for One! But the Reservoir has some camping spots just east of town. I haven’t camped there yet, but they added a great shelter house and its not far from town, so you can still run in for some fishing worms or steaks for the grill! Summer is just beginning and I plan on having a great one this year! Hope your’s will be as well! Keep It Kool, Bec
SHEPHERD’S CALL by Dr. H. Wade Paris A Dirty Column Today was the first sunny day in ages, and I spent the day with my hands in the dirt. We are installing new shrubs at our house. Removing the old shrubs and preparing the beds was quite a job, but I loved it. There is still enough child in me to enjoy playing in the dirt and getting dirty. I love the smell of dirt; it is quite aromatic. I love the feel of dirt; it has a texture all its own. The soil in our garden is rich. Former owners likely filled these beds with good soil, and it is still fertile. As I scooped and moved the dirt with my hands, I was aware I was handling one of life’s basic substances. Our bodies are made from dirt. One day those bodies will return to dirt. Meanwhile, the dirt of our planet gives life to all. I have put my bushes in the ground; they will send roots down into the earth, and the dirt will give them life. These thoughts made playing in the dirt very meaningful for me. There is one more truth
about soil that made my time meaningful. The dirt, the soil we have, is all there is. If your house is destroyed, you can make or buy another one. New houses are built all the time. If your car fails, you can go get another; new cars are being assembled every day. But you cannot make dirt. People come and go, but the soil we have is the same soil used by many generations; and what we have is all there is. A friend of mine was trying to buy some land. He asked the realtor, “Why is land so high?” “Oh, that’s easy to answer”, the realtor drawled. “Every day the world is filling up with more and more people. But there ain’t no more land. What’s here is all there is.” Once again, a simple bit of earthy truth teaches us about our heavenly Father. He made the earth, He made the soil, and He made only so much. You and I might want Him to make more, but the Lord seems to be saying, “You have enough. Use it wisely.”
Yield Potential Issues
Joe Koenen, Agri-Business University of Missouri Extension It seemed like not too for frost dates, average long ago we were beg- moisture and degree days ging for moisture – I guess so it is not an exact science that’s because it was only since things change every last year. What a differ- year. The yield potential ence a year makes – this for corn starts going down year we’re wondering some after May 1 (which when it will dry up (a little we’re at). On May 1st yield anyway) for planting at potential on corn is still at least. That will be my top- 94 percent but by May 16 it’s at 86 percent and by ic for today’s article. Corn and soybean prices the end of May it falls to do help make late planting 77 percent of normal. Soydecisions a little less stress- beans remain at 100 perful but the later our planting cent until the second week P.S. We aren’t four takes place the less yield of May and remain at 93 wheeling this Memorial potential there is. Yield percent on May 29 and it’s weekend, so no broken potential is based on years not until June 19th that it bones expected! LOL of actual data and accounts goes below 80 percent of normal. All the specifics of this can be found in guide 4091 at http://extension. missouri.edu/p/G4091. So at this point it’s certainly not time to panic yet but you may want to consider alternatives in case it stays wet. If you haven’t put your fertilizer or chemicals down yet switching to beans is an option, possibly after the middle of May. You also need to pay attention to your crop insurance dates and requirements before making those and other decisions. Remember we’ve had late springs before and the crop has turned out well so let’s hope for another year GOOOOOOD MORNING Thomas Hill Lake! such as those.

With Kevin Shoemaker Welcome back everyone. I hope everyone is having a wonderful start to their “Spring.” Well, that’s what the calendar says anyways. No matter the season, law enforcement officers continue to battle crime rain, snow, or shine. The “bad guys” don’t take breaks when it’s muddy or when there is two feet of snow on the ground, both of which we have experienced in the last two months. Blizzards and floods may stop some people from their daily routine, but not in law enforcement because crime never stops. The jail doesn’t close down. We still fight the daily battle. It may slow down from time to time, but crime still happens. In law enforcement some of us have a motto of “expect the worst but hope for the best” simply so we can be prepared the best we can with what resources we have. In time I hope to strengthen our resources and continue to upgrade/expand our technology so that we may be better equipped for the unexpected. I currently have 8 deputies (including myself) that cover 900 square miles day and night, all weekends/holidays, and yes inclement weather, 4 jailers who stand watch in the jail, answer the phone, and work the front desk, and also an administrative assistant to handle sex offender registration, an increasing number of CCW permits, civil process, and bookkeeping, all of them deserving a big “round of applause” for serving the county in those difficult conditions.Thank you staff!!! As I mentioned earlier CCW permit applications have exploded in the last couple of months draining resources and putting time restraints on other matters. I’ve elected to start having CCW applicants and renewals call the Sheriff’s Office (660-385-2062) to schedule an appointment with Amber Wilhelm to apply for or renew your CCW. I know this might be a burden for some, but it would solve some common problems we’re seeing here lately such as extended waiting periods and paperwork confusion, with the end result hopefully improving overall office efficiency. There is also another news release on this matter. Please accept my apologies as this might be an inconvenience for some, but an improvement for all. I hope you can abide by this policy as it takes effect May 1st. Update on the Jail Study – The consultant has gathered his required data and will have a full report completed by May 1st. Once the report is complete, we will once again meet with the commission and project design team to determine if a construction project will proceed. This study contains material such as county population data, inmate population data, population trends, crime trends, and also what it would take to not even build a jail and house all the inmates in another county. My May 2013 Sheriff’s Corner will have the details of the report. Thank you all for your patience and understanding on the aforementioned matters. Till next time.

La Plata FFA Receives Red Brand Donation
Aaron Thomas, FFA Reporter On April 30, the La Plata FFA received a generous donation through Red Brand’s Home Grown Project. The Home Grown Project is sponsored by Red Brand, a trusted fence and steel wire manufacturer. By partnering with the local MFA, Red Brand donated one dollar to the La Plata FFA for every roll of new Red Brand fence or wire ordered. Dave Smoot, La Plata MFA Manager, presented five FFA officers with a check for just under five hundred dollars. This investment and commitment made by the MFA and Red Brand Company to the La Plata FFA are hugely appreciated. Donations like this directly affect the lives of our future agriculture leaders and make a huge difference in a first-year chapter’s ability to thrive. The La Plata FFA sincerely thanks MFA Agri Services and Red Brand for their generous support. Pictured L to R: Cordel Bane, LaDonna White, Elizabeth Janes, Dave Smoot, Aaron Thomas, Brendan Curtis.

and did you eat a fruit or vegetable you ordinarily did not eat?” Gail was best loser and also won TOPSi for the month of April. We are making plans for our “spring workshop”, Saturday, June 1st at the La Plata First Baptist Church. Our program was a
brief discussion about eating when not hungry. This is a problem many have. TOPS mission is to support our members as they take and keep off pounds sensibly. We are here for each other. Our weekly challenge is to journal daily.

Bits From Bucklin
by Doris Noah
Williams’ Attend Reunion Veterans of World War Two are rare today. Our friend and neighbor, Frank Williams, is a veteran of that war and was able to attend the reunion of the veterans of the Navy Destroyer USS Hazelwood. The reunion of the Navy Destroyer USS Hazelwood was in Newport, Rhode Island this year. Every other year veterans who have ever served on this ship meet on the date the ship was attacked by a kamikaze plane during World War Two on April 29th 1945. Of the many sailors at the reunion only three of the survivors of this attack were present. Frank Williams was interviewed by a television station out of Providence, Rhode Island to relate his memories of the attack. He reported 77 men died as a result of the kamikaze attack with over 100 injured. Frank was among the injured. Frank and his wife Marilyn, their son Keith Williams and grandson Jordan Williams traveled to Rhode Island recently for the reunion of Frank’s shipmates. A replica of the Destroyer USS Hazelwood was constructed by the son of one of the survivors and donated by the family to the Battleship Cove Marine Museum in Newport, R. I. The next reunion is scheduled to be in Norfolk, Virginia on April 29th, 2015. P.S. The Williams family was surprised when another grandson Jared Williams, a pilot for Southwest Airlines, met them at the airport before they boarded their plane headed home. A wonderful week end for this Navy vet and his family. Citizen’s Appreciation Dinner The ladies of the Civic Club hosted the appreciation dinner April 25th, in the community building. Forty five guests registered for the door prize which was awarded at noon. The prize was donated this month by Peggy Finney and won by Marj King. There will be no Citizen’s Appreciation Dinners until fall. Watch for the posters inviting you to this complimentary dinner the fourth Thursday in September. Look Both Ways We have big orange highway signs all along Highway 129, which is also our Main Street, cautioning us to drive carefully as the State Highway Department is coming through. A resurfacing of the highway from the south of town clear up to New Boston is underway as soon as the weather cooperates. We will have trucks and workers so folks let’s look both ways before we start uptown. I and my old golf cart will sure give them the right of way! Plans to replace sidewalks along 129

are in the works as well. Seems as though we are going to be looking good in time for the 75th annual Bucklin Homecoming the first week end in August. Spark Up The Park Update Paper gals, I would like this to be added to the Bucklin Bits or perhaps on the Local News page if space is a problem. Thanks for all you do, Doris It just keeps getting better. Mark Williams is all set for his head to be shaved and his bountiful mustache will get the razor as well. The $3,000.00 to get this done is in the bank: a pair of industrial strength clippers have been ordered. Mark has sure created a lot of interest (as well as funds) for the Spark UpThe Park effort. With the money coming in for new equipment Tammy and Darla put out the call for volunteers. The large old swing set needed to be moved to make room for the new merry go round and springy horses. It took a group of willing workers just one evening to complete this task. A tip of our old cap to David Jenkins, Terry Epperly, James Lee Jenkins, bob and Lori Davis, Don Noah, Rick and Brooke Standley, Greg Noah and Jim Finney for a job well done. The little play fort was moved also. It will be disposed of as a new play house will be constructed where the fort was. Anyone interested in the little play fort may call 660-695-3600. Odd’s -n- End’s It was time to take a break: sit in the swing and enjoy the birds. On May first Emily Switzer and Beverly Riley told me the wrens have returned to their houses. Beverly said the Baltimore Orioles have come to her grape jelly feeder already. I listened on this sunny May Day afternoon and sure enough our Wren was there inspecting our houses. It looks as if she has chosen the one in the old maple by the little hen house. So far this spring we have four pair of Purple Martins, one pair of Cardinals and more English Sparrows than the law allows. I remember the Good Book tells us our Lord watches out for the sparrows so therefore I won’t fuss about them. The offer of winter onion starts proved to be a popular item. Our little patch is thinned for now but we will hope to have extras again next year. Do you have an item for the Bits From Bucklin? If you have an article please call 660-695-3600, email dnoah112@ gmail.com or feel free to come by our house anytime with your news. Every item is appreciated and just what it takes to make the news newsy. Doris Noah

Clarence Chronicles by Patty Truitt
Big news for this week for our area is Prom. South Shelby held its prom on Saturday night April 27th. The theme of this year’s prom was “A Night In Paris.” The gymnasium was beautifully decorated and the Grand March was held at 7 pm in the middle school gym. Taylor Neely was Queen and Tyler Foster was King of the prom. The traditional after prom party was sponsored by P.R.I.D.E. The beautiful warm weather this week has brought everyone out to work in their yards. Seems everyone is mowing and cleaning up all the debris left behind by winter. My friend Carolyn Hill said she has worked in her yard all week, and still had more to do. I know what she meant by that. I took my dog Cody walking last Thursday and we visited some of the new neighbors in our neighborhood. We meet Brenda Sizemore who is a really nice lady. She, her husband and her three dogs are now in the house vacated by Sabrina and Chris Weaver last fall. We really miss them and their children but Sizemores are a great addition to the neighborhood. Cody
really liked them because they have three dogs about his size. We also visited with Kevin and Amber Timbrook and their four children. They bought the large house at the end of my street. I had been in the house 30 years ago when Thurmans lived there. Back then the house was wallpapered and had heavy drapes in the windows. Well not anymore. The house is painted in light and bright colors and the many windows let in lots of light. I am so happy to see a family living in this beautiful home and it is again being loved and cared for. My good news is my patio is finished. The carpenter came last Thursday and finished everything. It is now a beautiful work of art. After I got off work Saturday I went to my daughter Bonnie’s house in Atlanta and we went to Kirksville in her SUV. At Home Depot I bought my new patio set. I got a loveseat, chair, footstool, and coffee table. It is in a beautiful shade of dark red. When Bonnie, her husband John and I got home we unloaded the big boxes in the family room and they
stayed and visited awhile. After Bonnie and John left I was so lucky because my Grandson Derek put all four pieces together. He looked over the instructions and went right to work and everything turned out beautiful. I must say I hate to put stuff like this together and it still wouldn’t be done if I had to do it. Sunday after church I came home and decorated my new back patio. If you come to Clarence stop by and take a look. Thank you so much to Bonnie, John, and Derek for all you hard work on this project. Most of all thank you to my husband Kenny for surviving all of this ordeal. Twenty of us went to the Clarence Senior Citizens tonight to play cards. As always we had a wonderful time. Events coming up in Clarence are. The City Wide Garage Sale on May 11th, Clarence Elementary Track and Field Day will be Thursday May 16th beginning at 9am and Clarence Elementary Spelling Bee will be Friday, May 17th at 1 pm. I hope you all have a blessed week. Patty

Compassion Center and Macon County Ministries By Sharon Coram, Home Press staff With the Assistance of Linda Ellis, President of Macon County Ministries Linda Ellis, President of the Macon County Ministries (MCM), is quite excited about the upcoming new building, which will house the Compassion Center, including the monthly food pantry as well as the emergency food pantry. The building was formerly the Macon County Barn. It is located just south of Loch Haven on Sunset Hills Drive. Linda stressed that the building was purchased with money collected by the Martha McDowell Compassion Center Committee. The donations have been held in an account waiting until the appropriate property could be found. This property seems to be just what was needed. After a thorough cleaning, concrete work on doorways, the addition of a handicap bathroom, a new heating and cooling system for the west side section of the building and installation of walk in freezer/coolers it should be ready to serve the food pantry patrons in the new location. A ConAgra grant is providing the heating/cooling/refrigeration work. The emergency food pantry (EFP) is for those in urgent situations and is available 4 times a year. There is no income requirement, and is supported by local donations. Linda Truitt is the Director of the EFP and she enlists many volunteers in order to have the pantry open 5 days a week. Their hours are Monday, Wednesday and Friday 10:00-12:00
and Tuesday Thursday 1:00-3:00. Truitt would welcome new volunteers, and the job does not include heaving lifting or a lot of standing. The monthly food pantry is to supplement food, not to re-supply a cupboard. Its provisions come from the Food Bank of Central and Northeast Missouri in Columbia. Businesses, gardeners and grocers supply the Food Bank, and the USDA also donates. The monthly food bank relies on 50 to 60 volunteers to serve about 350 families; over 1000 people in one day. They are able to fill a cart in two minutes. Linda Ellis says the volunteers are so synchronized and smooth it looks like a “food ballet”. Many more volunteers are used during the month to set up this one-day operation. To receive assistance from the monthly food bank, residents must meet income requirements and can simply go in on distribution day to apply. It occurs on the 3rd Tuesday of each month. Linda explained that over 50% of those served are oneperson families, usually the elderly. She also stated that many of the young families she sees have two or three jobs and still have trouble making ends meet. Other things that Macon County Ministries are involved with is the utility support program which will help residents with their utility bill one time per year; Share the Harvest, in which hunters donate venison, and is
processed and ground at Special D’s and handed out in one-pound packages at the EFP. In cooperation with the Macon Police Department, there is a program for transients and emergencies. By seeking this emergency assistance, persons may be given a voucher for gas money if stranded, a meal voucher from C&R, a hotel room for the night, or other types of assistance depending on the situation, Helping Hands at Christmas is a program that collects monetary donations. The schools and family services are contacted for families needing help. Deb Hartung, Board Member, finds sponsors for these families through churches and organizations. The remainder is taken shopping for shoes, socks, underwear, jeans, shirts, and possibly a toy for their child. Linda stated that Deb is a very frugal shopper. Hartung and Sandy Coons also coordinate the Santa Shop that is set up in the Lutheran Church the first of December. It is stocked by donated toys and parents in need can come and shop for their children. The original proposed location for MCM was 207 Vine Street. Martha McDowell and her committee planned to use it for panty purposes. But when it was decided that the “old Casey’s” could not accommodate both pantries, the Board started to look for a larger property.

3B
FOR RENT FOR RENT: 10’x10’, 10’x5’, 5’x5’ and 10’x20’. La Plata Storage. Call 332-7599.
By Sharon Coram, Home Press staff
Dede Spidle explains how recycling can help our community.
Earth Day was April 22 and there was public invite forum held at Macon High School called “Today’s Recycling in Macon County.” Dede Spidle of Macon Diversified Industries conducted the forum in effort to enlighten the public about today’s world of recycling and the lifestyle of in-home recyclers. Also, she explained
the “how and why” the non-profit Macon County Sheltered Workshop is affected by this program. Topics of recycling included metals, paper, textiles and plastics. Also included were the types of materials they will accept and how it is recycled, from selling to a scrap dealer or reselling items at Timeless Treasure Thrift
Store. Dede also announced a pilot testing program for curbside recycling, which includes 250 households in Macon to “test the waters” and see how it goes. They are working with Advanced Disposal on the pilot program and will be collecting data over the next two months. Should the test prove positive, making this service available in Macon County might be available in the near future. Dede stressed that they do not want to make this mandatory as they do in some communities. She would like to see it stay voluntary because they don’t want it to become a chore, but rather something people want to do. The forum was in cooperation with the Macon Jaycees, Advanced Disposal, and Macon County Economic Development. Fundraising efforts were provided by the Macon Jaycees concession stand. Funds went to the Macon County Sheltered Workshop. If you missed the forum and would like more information, please contact Dede at Macon Diversified Industries at 660-3853111.

The Josephine Garlock Morrow Tent #23 of the Daughters of Union Veterans of the Civil War 1861-1865 met April 23 at the Brookfield Public Library, with 11 members and two guests present. Vice-President Gail Shoush and Acting Chaplain Ruth Masten opened the meeting. Patriotic Instructor Linda Haley led the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag. Courtesy Chair Catherine Llewellyn reported on get well cards and birthday cards sent to members. Linda Haley and Ruth Masten reported on plans for the DUV State Convention to be held in Macon June 8-9. The Saturday luncheon will be held at the Macon County Historical Society Museum. Dennis Daniels of Kirksville will be the speaker. The Saturday evening program will be presented by Tom Rafiner, who has recently published a Civil War history of Cass County, Missouri “Caught Between Three Fires”, Cass County, MO Chaos and Order #11, 1860-1865. Sunday, Jane Hays will serve high tea at the Granddaughters luncheon. Each of these programs is open to the public. Linda Haley presented a program on the Medal of Honor. President Harry S Truman said, “I would much rather have that medal around my neck than to be President of the United States,” when he presented the Medal of Honor to 15 World War II serviceman on October 12, 1945. Only 3,456 medals have been awarded since the beginning of the Civil War. Sen. Grimes of Iowa introduced a bill in Congress in 1861 to allow President Lincoln to authorize 200 Navy Medals of Honor. A year later, an Army Medal of Honor
was introduced. Over the years, the Medals were given for less than heroic deeds. It was not until 1917 that a review was made of all the medals given. Many were rescinded. By 1918, a congressional act was passed, affirming the Medal of Honor be presented to a person who “distinguished himself conspicuously by gallantry and intrepidity” in an armed conflict with the enemy. Gen. Douglas MacArthur received the medal in WWII, as did his father, 1st Lt. Arthur MacArthur, Jr., during the Civil War. Theodore Roosevelt received the medal for the Spanish-American War and his son, Theodore Roosevelt, Jr. received his as a result of WWII. About 80 recipients are still living. George Washington has never been awarded the Medal of Honor. The VFW passed a resolution in 2009 calling for “Congress to award the Medal of Honor posthumously to Gen. George Washington.” The Confederacy had no medal for bravery during the Civil War, however, the Sons of Confederate Veterans created a Confederate Medal of Honor in 1962. Refreshments were served by Linda Haley, Anna Jones and Thelma Sartain to Gail Shoush, Ruth Masten, Marilyn Freeman, Sharon Hutchinson, Catherine Llewellyn, Janean Faux, Becky Lang, Gina Smith and guests, Ruth Douglas and Mary Kitchen. The next meeting will be May 28 at the Shelby County Historical Society.
