Project Awarded For Kirksville Median Access
The Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission has awarded a project for a new median opening on US 63 a little over 2 miles north of Route KK near Kirksville. W. L. Miller Co. of Hamilton, IL was the successful bidder at a cost of $136,882.90. MoDOT and its contractor will begin work this summer constructing a median crossover, and adding a southbound left
turn lane at Admire Evergreen located between MO 11 and Dogwood Lane south of Kirksville. The intersection improvements are part of a cost share with the business owners to provide an emergency turnaround and accommodate ease of access for its customers. Traffic will be reduced to one lane northbound and southbound at various times while crews work in the passing
lane and median area. Construction equipment will be entering and exiting the work zone and motorists are urged to use caution and obey all road construction signs. If you have questions about this project, please call MoDOT toll-free customer service number at 1-888 ASK MODOT (275-6636) during normal business hours.

COMMENTARY Blonde But Blunt BY BECKY JEFFCOAT EDITOR/PUBLISHER
Dr. H. Wade Paris
And, the Moral Is . . .
lpnews@marktwain.net
Last week I took a few vacation days and spent some time with Scott in Columbia and my granddaughter and daughter who are home for a visit. Was a great week. Didn’t realize just how much I missed them until they got home. The first night they were home Quinci Jo woke up in the middle of the night and found her way into my bedroom. I hated to put her in bed with memaw and poppie, was afraid she would get squished. She managed to survive but only because I slept on the very edge of the bed hoping not to fall off, with my arms around her so poppie wouldn’t roll over on her. The second night, poppie had went back to work and Quinci Jo decided to sleep with memaw. She snuggled in so tight, again I didn’t sleep well, trying to hold on to her, this time so she wouldn’t roll off the other side of the bed. LOL, but each morning when she woke, she sat straight up in bed and said, very loudly and with a smile, “HI”. Made me forget about not getting any sleep. I’d do it every night, but this means memaw and poppie need a King Size bed, as we have a grandson that very soon will be snuggling in with us. :) While spending time in Columbia with Scott, it made me remember “Man do I hate the City“. And when I tell you that I am moving south to be with him, please know that we will be moving to the country with some acreage. No town. No gunshots, unless someone is hunting. No loud music out the window. No hussle and bussle. No one cutting me off on the road going home. I just don’t know how people do it that live in the city. I can drive it, just rather not. And defiantly could not do it on a daily basis. Some of these people have some brass ones (you know what I mean). Staying on at The Home Press as Editor via internet
SHEPHERD’S CALL
JEFFCOAT is going to be great! I still get to talk with you on a regular weekly basis, and this way, LOL, you can’t talk back. Just kidding, I gave you my email and phone last week, so if you have any concerns or questions, give me a holler. I took a second part-time job in Boonville at the Casino, yup, instead of giving them money, I’m gonna get some of theirs and maybe yours. I am taking classes to be a Black Jack dealer. Very cool! I thought I knew everything about Black Jack, but in only a few classes I have learned a lot! The best thing about this is that I get to see lots of people everyday, talk all day long and have fun, all the while making money! What could be better than that? Plus, if you work there, you can’t play there, so I’m also saving money. Hehe! So will have to venture to KC to play I guess and since I hate driving, probably won’t happen very often. But just imagine the stories I’ll have for my column. Also hit a tractor pull while I was off, love watching Scott pull, makes him smile from ear to ear and that makes me happy. That’s what it’s all about. Being happy. Right? I mean you can work your rear end off everyday of the week, whether at work or home, but everyone needs a break and a hobby to enjoy. Scott’s is tractor pulling. That being said, we are looking for a sponsor..... anyone? LOL, all I can say is fishing is a cheaper hobby!! And you also get a free supper if you had a good day. :)Anyway, I am trying to enjoy the summer and hope you are as well. Keep It Kool, Bec
Some years ago, we ordered some rose bushes. They were hedge roses. You could plant them to make a border or hedge around your lawn. I was reluctant to order them. My wife and I have planted “tons” of roses with little success, but she insisted, so we sent for them. The bushes arrived late in April, and we set them out behind our house. At first, they just grew and turned green. Through the long, hot summer, they had a few roses; and we were very pleased. “For once, we’ve been able to grow roses.” When the frost came, we hurried and picked a bouquet. We thought, “This will be the last”. Surprise! They blossomed more than ever. One bush alone had more than twenty roses.It was a forest of fragrant flowers. I loved it! The Bible has many references to flowers and gardens. Flowers present a good analogy for living;
Mosquito Season by Joe Koenen,Agri-Business Specialist, University of Missouri Extension One of the things that our weather pattern this year can cause is an increase in insects. Mosquitos are one of those insects that can and is a much greater problem in wet weather years such as this one. Mosquitos are a pest to humans because they need blood meal for their young and so only the adult females actually suck blood, and primarily at twilight or just after dark. They breed in stagnant or slowmoving water so they have lots of breeding locations this year. They will breed in anything that holds just a small amount of water for a few days so figuring out where they’re breeding can be difficult to im-
GOOOOOOD MORNING Thomas Hill Lake!!! Instead of Hi Ho Hi Ho it’s off to work I go, it’s Hi Ho Hi Ho it’s off to mow I go, boy with all the rain and high temperature that’s about all I have been getting done! How pretty my lady looks after the rains and “haircut”. Good ole’ Thomas Hill Lake is overflowing, you can’t see the beaches anywhere and our “Babbling Brook” has babbled so much she is in the yard and almost up to the side of the house. So much different than last year, when we was so dry! Hey it’s Missouri weather, stick around it will change! hehehe The garden is thriving, incredible conditions for a GREAT garden.... onions, radishes and lettuce have been picked and used, fresh produce can’t be beat! What about the Moon this last week? Beautiful beyond words, so large and brilliant in the sky, then the reflection on the lake was breath taking, no need for much lights while sitting on the deck, the moon did it all. The baby eagle has been trying his new wings recently, you can go by the nest and see him sitting on the side just flapping his wings so fierce, he’s ready to go....no not yet....well let’s see, try again. How the parents teach their young is beyond comprehension to me, but they sure do! Anyone that believes in the statement that animals (all varieties) are dumb need to step back and watch, you will see that is a very false statement! I so enjoy those of you that stop me on the street, in the store, or message me about my articles, it warms my heart to know that you take the time to tell me that you read and enjoy them. Thank you so much! Enjoy the little things in life for one day you will look back and realize they were the big things! As Always, Love & Hugs from the lake.....Connie

they add beauty and fragrance to life. It occurs to me that human beings are much like flowers. Some of us bloom in the spring. We make our finest contribution in the early days of life or in the early part of the day. Some are like summer flowers. They blossom in spite of the heat and drought, in spite of adversity. They work best at midday. Others bear their best fruit after the frost, after their hair is gray. They flourish in the late evening. Maybe it doesn’t matter in which part of the day or in which part of your life you bloom best. What matters is that we bloom and spread God’s loving fragrance with some portion of our life. In his letter to the church at Ephesus, the apostle Paul suggests we live our lives as “sweet-smelling” sacrifices for God, i.e. like flowers. (Ephesians 5:2) Now, that is a good suggestion.
possible in a wet year. Due to the fact they do transmit some diseases and do bite, control may become a necessity. So what can you do? Eliminating their breeding sites is the best way to try and control mosquitos. Making sure there are no tires, upturned cans, small pools, birdbaths or any water source that isn’t changed or turned over can help. If you have a lily pond or water in your garden, stock minnows or other fish or use a small coat of vegetable oil if you don’t have fish. There are light oils made specifically for mosquito control in water also. There are sprays that can protect you when you are outside for several hours too. Don’t forget about your pets either – your vet can help get you something for them. Guide 7400 “Mosquitos” is available online athttp://extension.missouri.edu/p/g7400 . I urge you to check it out as it is much more detailed than I can be here today. Mosquitos won’t be the only insects we will deal with this summer so always be as prepared as possible when you work or play outside.

Cobb Potato Salad What You Need
3 lb red potatoes, cubed, cooked and drained 1/4 c red onion, diced salt and pepper, to taste 2 c mayo 1/3 c sugar 3 tbsp cider vinegar salt and pepper, to taste 1 c tomatoes 1 c bacon, fried and diced 1 c turkey breast or chicken breast, cooked and cubed 1 c hard boiled egg, peeled and diced 1 c avocado, cubed 1/2 c blue cheese, crumbles 2 tbsp scallions, diced (for garnish) Directions • In large pot of water cook potatoes until soft, not
mushy, drain. Add to large mixing bowl.
• In separate bowl, mix mayo, sugar, vinegar and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Add to potatoes, toss.
• Gently add salad to new bowl for cleaner presentation. Chill while preparing toppings. Note: I like adding about 1/4 cup fresh chopped parsley to mayonnaise mixture. • Prepare topping ingredients. Remove salad from fridge and layer toppings in order of ingredient list (or to your preference). • Chill for at least 4 hours before serving.
Notes: Make sure not to overcook potatoes. Potatoes should be soft but not mushy to point of falling apart. Salad can be made day before, adding toppings next day. Stir well before adding toppings.

Large Crowd Gathered For OATS Open House In Macon
by Patty Truitt
Hello everyone. Summer is rolling right along and June is almost over. The big news in Clarence this past week was the Clarence Homecoming. If you missed it you missed a really good time. Everyone there had a really good time. Wednesday night was family night and I went with my son Raymond, daughter-in-law Jessica and of course Norma and Bella Wood. It was a really fun night and the great attraction was the South Shelby FFA Petting Zoo. There were two St. Bernard puppies, and lots of other puppies, goats, pigs, chickens, ducks, a donkey, and lots of other animals. It was a lot of fun and us adults enjoyed it as much as the kids did. Wednesday night was Children’s games, Natalie Hawkins, Tim Remole, KC Wolf and Lightswitch. Thursday as the baby show, with babies from all over the area.
The Little Miss & Mr. Contest was won by Ashlyn Schaefer, daughter of Dustin and Amanda Schaefer, and Daniel Timbrook, the son of Keeven and Amber Timbrook. All the children who were in this are some of the cutest children you can find. Later the Queen Contest was held and Victoria Carothers was crowned the 2013 Homecoming Queen. 1st runner up was Rose Masten, 2nd runner up Bailey Lake and 3rd runner up Jamie Corbin. All of these young ladies are very beautiful, and congratulations to all the girls. Friday night Savannah Jack Nashville Country show preformed. Saturday was a full day of entertainment. That morning was Flea market booths, Kiddie Tractor Pull, Horseshoe tournament, Kiddie games. At noon was the 9th Annual Antique Tractor Show and at two was the parade. I always love the parade and the winning float was
Macon County Riders (no certain order) Theresa Flennory, Joann Mitchell, Norma Benson, Mary Frances Troy and Kaitlyn Russell with driver Steven Russon enjoyed the festivities.
On June 12, OATS held an Open House to celebrate the completion of its new Macon facility at 3006 Jims Road, which houses the Northeast Regional Offices. A crowd of over 200 people was in attendance. Numerous representatives of federal, state, and local agencies and legislative officials were present at the ceremony. Speakers for the event included The Honorable Dale Bagley- Mayor of Macon; Denise BennettDirector of Macon County Economic Development; Sharon Scott- Director of Macon Chamber of Commerce; Mokhtee AhmadRegional Administrator, FTA Region VII; Michelle Teel- MoDOT Multimodal Operations Director; Nolan McNeill- OATS Board President, Dorothy Yeager-OATS Executive Director and Sheree Webb- OATS Northeast Regional Director. Sarah Barfield-Graff from U. S.
Senator Roy Blunt’s office was also in attendance. Mayor Bagley opened the ceremony welcoming OATS to Macon, “It’s great to have this facility and the service that it provides to our community, which is the most important thing.” OATS Board President Nolan McNeil thanked the riders who were in attendance, “You are the reason for OATS existence. We are glad you can stay at home, and happy we can help meet your needs that allow you to live independently. The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) and MoDOT provide the some of the support enabling us to carry out our mission.” In his comments, Mokhtee Ahmad, Region VII Administrator for FTA, noted the words on the Macon water tower he read as he headed into town: Macon- A Wise Choice. “It was a wise choice to build a facility here, and I’m glad we were
able to make it happen.” Michelle Teel, MoDot Director, added “The entire team worked tirelessly to make sure we used your tax dollars wisely. OATS is the largest service like this in the entire Country. We will continue to work side by side with OATS to make sure transportation needs are met.” Funds to build the new Macon facility were provided by the federal American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009 for a total project cost of $2.65 million.

Merchants 1st place Silver Fox Tree Service, youth 1st place, Carley Robertson, Antique cars/ tractors, Conner Chinn and Garrett Chinn. Of course the new queen and her court were in the parade. After the parade was The Midwest Cowboys Rodeo presented by CYMO’s. This was a lot of fun for everyone. That night the entertainment was Rachel Farley. I was so glad my granddaughter Katherine Claus come over and went with me Saturday and got to spend the night. Of course all our nights had all the wonderful games and rides of Kenny’s Funland. All in all it was a fun weekend and we all enjoyed. As always mine and Kenny’s favorite is the funnel cake.
Garden Club
The Garden Club met at the home of Jaunita McConnell June 17 2013. The meeting was called to order by President Irene Osborn. In unison we repeated the Pledge of Allegiance and the Pledge to the State Flag. We had no old business. New business:We discussed of exchanging white elephants for a gift exchange for Christmas. We voted on it and it passed. It will keep us from shopping and will be fun. No other business. Penny drill was won by Carol Hays. Jaunita gave a program on the Safflower. It was interesting and is a good flower for the Red Bird. They are an annual plant and are good for protein in the fall for the Momarch Butter Fly. Jaunita told about the picture her husbands mother painted. Was very interesting. A word game was played while the hostess prepared refreshments. The Hostess served Cake,Ice Cream, Mints and nuts. The next meeting will be at Irene Osborn July 15 2013
Heartland Headlines
We are sprucing things up around Heartland to get ready for our annual Open House celebration July 6th. One of the biggest projects is a fresh coat of paint for the water tower. Our water tower with the lighted cross on top has become the emblem of Heartland. We have it in various logos and designs, and we all watch for it to appear on the horizon when we drive home from a trip. So, we are excited to see it shining brightly again. I’m not sure our mama camel has enjoyed the process, though. She and her new baby are in the adjoining pasture. I’ve noticed she moves away any time a car slows down on the road, so I’m sure she didn’t enjoy the big rigs and cranes required for the water tower job. She might as well get used to the commotion, though. We look forward to hosting lots of friends and neighbors in the next couple of weeks. We are praying for just enough rain to take care of the crops. And just enough sunshine to make it feel like summer. I hope you can join us for the fun!

President Watts announced that on behalf of the Macon County Shriners, Bill Franke had presented a donation of $1,000.00 to Macon County Historical Society. Minutes of the last meeting were read by Donna Gilbert. Minutes were approved as read. TREASURER’S REPORT: Ruth Masten gave the treasurer’s report. UPCOMING EVENTS: Doris Duckworth’s 1947 class reunion is scheduled for July .20, 2013 PAST EVENTS and UPDATES: Sally Watts reported that the Gold Star Families program had been given at MCHS with Jan Watts as the coordinator. It was very well received and will be on CUTV. The oil painting of Jack Lee was donated by the Lee Family and was acknowledged by several members as an excellent likeness. The artist is Nyle Gordon from Ethel, MO. President Watts announced that MCHS catered the Lion’s Club meeting. Harold Burkhardt, Huey White, Leroy Noble, and Ron Watts fried 40 pounds of potatoes and ten pounds of onions with Ron frying the fish and “the girls” providing salads and desserts. Forty at the White reunion enjoyed barbecued brisket, cheesy potatoes, and berry cobbler. Salads were provided by several of the ladies, including new members Doris Riley, Cindy and Dennis. Joe and Merlyn Amidei donated two rose bushes which have been planted in front. Ralph reported that the Teter family had called that they wanted to tour MCHS Saturday at 11:00 am. Ralph contacted tour guides. Seventy-one people showed up for the tour and left at 2:30 pm. They took pictures of the sleigh that we had participated in restoring for them. Another tour was for 100 Macon fourth graders. The group was divided into six tours with two groups on each floor which were then rotated. Ralph observed, “It was wonderful to see how well the children were disciplined.” President Watts called upon other tour guides that day to comment on their experiences. Kay Gilbert said that this was her first tour, “And those kids carried me. The most often heard comment was, ‘My grandma had one of these.’” She continued, “Of course, they wanted to touch. If it was not advisable, I modeled putting my hands behind my back.” She concluded, “The students were wonderful and a lot of fun.” Mardine White commented, “The tours were interesting and enjoyable.” Jack Lee stated, “I noticed a few days later that the same students came back with parents and grandparents. I didn’t have to talk very much then. The students did the talking.” Sally Watts told of one boy as smart as a tack who wanted to spend the day. “I really like this.” Then he asked, “Do you know about WWI?” President Watts reported that MCHS contacted all Macon County schools, but only Cairo and Macon have responded. “MCHS would be an educational and fun field trip when schools are so hard pressed for funds.” A student’s fatal accident was the cause of Cairo’s canceling, but Wade King has transferred to La Plata and hopefully he will be interested in bringing some of those students to tour next year. President Watts stated that since last fall many donations have been made and need to be put away. Pat Kindle volunteered to help catalog donations. It is important if someone donates something that they can see it displayed. Sally Watts outlined the following procedure that Merlyn follows with donations: 1. Record donation in book. 2. Take picture of donation and enter into computer. 3. Display donation. President Watts also announced that a high-level Marine, Roger Roll, has donated a whole pickup full of uniforms including sleeping bags and rain clothing. “He is not a local Macon guy having lived here only a few years and is moving back to Virginia. “ Harold Burkhardt said that Huey and Mardine got the WWI medical blanket hung. Sharon Coram and husband Shon Coram announced that when someone renews their Home Press subscription, they may check to donate $2.00 to MCHC. Shon Coram said that he is a history buff and has things he wants to donate from the Civil War, and from Dr. and Clara Sharp, his grandparents. One item is a book on the 4th Iowa Cavalry. Sharon announced, “You have one $2.00 donation already.” Opal Harris stated that she was glad she had waited to renew and wanted to renew now. The calendar is on the newspaper’s web site. President Watts adjourned the meeting. Refreshments were served. The next meeting will be at 6 pm on the second Thursday, August 8, at 6 pm.
