Local Seven-Year-Old Hero You may not think of a typical seven year old being considered a hero, but that is exactly what Logan Sims is! Logan is the seven year old son of Chris and Rebecca Sims of Macon.

Logan and his family were on vacation at the Lake of the Ozarks last Labor Day weekend. While swimming, Logan heard a little girl yelling for help. When he looked, he noticed she was in danger and was going under the water.

Immediately, without thinking, Logan jumped into the water to help her. He was able to pull the little up out of the water by pulling her up underneath her armpits. As Logan carried the little girl out of the pool to safety, her mother came and took her.

Logan was given an award from his school for his heroic actions. Logan is the grandson of Ken and Billie Jane Salsman and Gary and Shirley Sims, all of Macon.

Logan Sims of Macon is shown with the award he received from school for his heroic actions while swimming at the Lake of the Ozarks last Labor Day.

Halloween is a holiday celebrated on October 31st.

The word “Halloween” came from “All Hallows Eve”. We, as Americans, traditionally include activities such as trick or treating, bonfires, costume parties, carving jacko-lanterns and going to “haunted houses”! Anything to scare the “wageebees” out of us! But where did Halloween originate from and what is its true celebration of?

Ancient Celtics celebrated the end of their harvest season in Gaelic Culture known as the festival of Samhain. This time was used by ancient pagans to take and stock supplies to prepare them for the winter ahead. It was believed that the bound-

aries between the worlds of the living and the dead would overlap and the dead would come back to life and cause havoc, sickness and damage crops.

This festival involved huge bonfires. It was believed that the fires attracted insects and the insects attracted bats to the area. Of course these are attributes to the history of Halloween. Masks and costumes were worn to mimic the evil spirits and to appease them so they would cause no harm.

In the 8th Century, to distract the Celts from their Pagan practice, Pope Gregory the Third established “All Hallows Day”.

A day honoring all saints, known and unknown, on Nov. 1st. Soon Samhain became known as “All Hallows Eve” and today “Halloween”.

Of course this demonic holiday was of no interest to American Puritans until the mid nineteenth century. A potato famine drove the Irish across the Atlantic, with them also traveled the Irish Folk Lore and their traditions begin to change. Bonfires became jack-o-lanterns and the Celtics demonic disguises became today’s modern costumes.

Trick or Treating is said to come from the custom of “souling” which is when the poor went door to door praying for the souls of each family’s debt in exchange for a small cake to eat.

Today, Halloween is one of the most profitable holidays on the calendar following Christmas. Millions of dollars is spent preparing for Halloween.

From parents buying costumes for their children to Clubs and Organizations holding haunted houses and costume contest. Neighborhoods are decorated in time for trick or treaters and the candy industry is booming!

So as you are out on “All Hallows Eve”, remember, ”It’s the end of the living season and the time the dead may rise and walk the earth to cause havoc”.

Two weeks after Patrick was born we had company, Maurice and Roma Ablen from New Cambria. We did not know them before that day and found out pretty quickly Roma was from England and came to the states as a war bride. Ida Eyman who worked at the New York store in Macon told her about me and that I was home sick. Actually I had flu symptoms and was a bit under the weather. They brought their two youngest children with them that afternoon, Alan and Diana, who were about two and five. After getting acquainted Roma said to me “all you need is a good cup of tea” and she proceeded to fix a pot and also made me toast fingers and from then on we became like sisters. Maurice (who we called Jerry) and G.C. became good friends and loved to tell jokes to each other. The Ablens raised six children, Valerie, Jennifer, Cynthia, Dianna, Alan and Jonathon, in that order. Soon we were together quite often eating meals at each other’s homes and of course, having tea and a pudding to finish the off the evening. Diana loved babies and one day she came into my living room carrying Paddy (as we called him) and he being just a few

months old, his head was wobbly and I had to take him from her. Roma and I talk about that once in a while and laugh because we can visualize that chubby little girl called Faggo, (by her daddy) carrying Paddy around the house. We always caught each other up on the news from Birmingham and Oxford England, and most of the conversation leaned toward our families, Roma coming from a family of seven and me a family of six. I have to share a little of Roma’s interesting life because she had quite a story to tell .When she came over on the ship with her first child Valerie, she became so sick that she ruined her only coat which was brand new, and had to throw it overboard because of the condition of it and also it was made of wool which she could not clean. In order to purchase this new coat, all of the family pooled their ration books to buy it. They took Valerie, then eight months old away from Roma so that she could get well quicker. Maurice her husband had come home to Wein about a year earlier and would meet his daughter for the first time.

Roma was not allowed to bring a baby to the states before eight months old that is why she had to travel alone, which was quite

Pictured is Jean and Patrick at 6mos.

a feat to tackle. When she arrived in the states there was no one to meet her and the Red Cross gave her the message that her husband could not come to New York and sent directions how to get from New York to Wien Missouri.

Roma traveled for days ending up on the milk train from Quincy to New Cambria and was so relieved to see Maurice standing on the platform. After the greetings they piled into an old red Ford truck and rattled down the road to the home place, down to

Wein. When they arrived Mr. Bernard Ablen said to Roma, “Howdy” and went to the barn swinging his milk bucket as he went and then Roma met the rest of the family. You might ask yourself “how can she remember” the reason is I have had Roma tell me this story many times and never tired of it.

In fact I asked her to tell me her story again when she was in the hospital recently in Macon.

Rural Votes Matter

By Linda (L.J.) Johnson

The red and blue highlighted U.S. map we see so frequently as election time nears can be disheartening for rural voters. They may rightly begin to wonder if rural votes make a difference in any race where metropolitan areas exist.

The answer is “yes.”

For example, President George W. Bush won the rural vote in 2004 by 19 points. In 2008, President Barack Obama performed unusually well in rural areas, losing there to Sen. John McCain by just 8 points. That means 9 million rural voters cast their ballots for our current

president.

During this election cycle both presidential candidates have frequently been seen in states that have large rural regions.

Both are well aware that rural country roads are an important part of the road map that leads to the White House.

A recent poll for the Center for Rural Strategies showed 54 percent of rural voters favored candidate Mitt Romney. Obama knows he needs to win as many votes as he can in rural areas in 2012 to keep the margins tight again. Swing states that were polled are Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Nevada, New Hampshire, North

Carolina, Ohio, Virginia and Wisconsin.

The Senate is another battleground where rural votes matter. Control of the Senate may well be determined by rural voters in Indiana, Maine, Montana, Nevada, Ohio, North Dakota, Virginia and Wisconsin. All of these states are in the tossup column according to most political pundits.

In 2010, two-thirds of the nation’s most competitive House races were in rural America.

Current polling shows that between 24 and 26 House seats are in the tossup category and about 30 races are leaning to one party or the other. Do you

They are Arizona, California (3 seats), Colorado, Connecticut, Florida (2 seats), Illinois (2 seats), Massachusetts, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, North Carolina, New Hampshire, New York (4 seats), Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Texas and Utah.

Eleven states have gubernatorial races this year. The rural vote is expected to make a big difference in three that are in the toss-up column: Montana, New Hampshire and Washington.

COMMENTARY COMMENT

From the Editors Desk

BY KATHY LIEBHART EDITOR kathy@maconhomepress.com

Happy Halloween!

Tonight is the night for all the ghosts and goblins to be out running around knocking on your doors hoping for a good treat! If you know of anyone that is handing out homemade popcorn balls, let me know! I will have to borrow someone’s child for a short time!

This will be our 8th Halloween in the country. We don’t have trick or treaters so I just make a special Halloween treat for my granddaughter and wait for her to come out.

This year I will have two!

I always wanted to stay home and hand out candy.

I would try and talk the kids into it and would tell them we could all dress up and scare the trick or treaters, but they would never go for it. I can’t blame them I didn’t want to stay home when I was a kid either. Now that I don’t have little kids, I could stay home and hand out candy, but my husband moved me out to the country so I still miss out on having trick or treaters. I really miss living in town!

As a kid, my dad would make sure the house was as dark as he could get it. He would close the curtains and shut off the lights to make sure nobody knocked on the door while we were out. Then, low and behold I married a man just like that! As soon as I would leave with the kids, all the lights went out! What Party Poopers!

I can remember we used to hit every haunted house around. The best was in Novinger one year. They put together a haunted grave yard and I screamed more through that walk than any haunted house I have ever been through. One year we went to Fear Fest which has been the last one.

All I can remember from that one is being shut in a pitch black room filled with smoke and having to feel our way out. We had

LIEBHART a small group consisting of my parents, my brother and his wife and about 4 strangers. Now imagine, you can’t even see your hand in front of your face.

My husband decides he is going to be the one to get us out and begins to feel his way around looking for a door. All the sudden I hear a female voice saying “Hey! That’s not what you’re looking for! Then I hear my husband’s voice, “Oh, I’m sorry ma’am”.

The next voice out of the dark is my dad’s “Sid, did you find the doorknobs”.

I am so glad everyone had a good sense of humor. I could have been going home alone! We did learn not to allow Wade in a dark room full of people.

Now that October’s over, you know what that means! The Holidays are close! Just three weeks until Thanksgiving and then 32 days until Christmas! Yes, just THIRTY TWO! Be sure and go to our website wwww.hpsouth. com to view the Halloween Parade photos and our Veteran Photos in the gallery! We will be honoring our Veterans in next week’s paper! If you haven’t submitted your photo of the veteran you want to honor, we need it today!

The Christmas parade is scheduled for Nov. 30th, if you are not registered on our website yet be sure and get done before the parade! If the weather is too cold to get out, you can watch the parade right from our webcam on our home page.

Have A Safe Halloween!

FROM THE WORSHIP CENTER

The Dying Time There is probably no more sincerity or truthfulness in a person’s life than at the time of his/her death. We want to look at the testimonies of some recorded in the Bible.

Steven was falsely accused, led out of town, and stoned to death. While dieing Steven cried “Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God” Acts7:56.

Saul’s outlook on dieing is reflected in 1 Cor. 15:55.

“O death, where [is] thy sting? O grave, where [is] thy victory”? He also said “For to me to live [is] Christ, and to die [is] gain. Phil.1:21 These men thought of death as payday; Paul said a crown awaits me whom the righteous judge will give me.

Let’s look at the death of the rich man. “And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. Luke 16:24 What will your dieing time look like? Will you have any last words?

There is no way around dieing. We are all terminal; we are dieing one day at a time. The bible tells us, “it is an appointed unto us once to die and after that the judgment” Heb.9:27. We just stopped by to get ready to go.

Jesus made the way; we make the choice. This choice effects more than finances, health, your mate.

This choice has to do with our eternal home.

Choosing Jesus and being saved is your choice.

Our last stop is not the grave, rather our last stop is in heaven or hell.

When you read this if you feel you are not ready to leave this world than get ready Ron Thomason Pastor of The Worship Center

Making Gourd Bird Houses

By Marjorie Baggos Fall is fast approaching and displays of all kinds of gorgeous gourds start popping up at your local farmer’s market and grocery stores. There are all sorts of different things you can create with gourds.

They’re all different in colors, shapes and sizes.

Gourds can be used from anything from table center pieces to bird houses.

Bird houses are especially fun to make. Commonly, bottle neck gourds are used to make bird houses but honestly, shape and size is up to you.

I particularly like to make purple martin gourd houses. Purple martins rely heavily on man-made bird houses. For purple martin gourd bird houses it is recommended that you use a gourd 8 to 13 inches in diameter. Birds really don’t mind the shape or spots different gourds will have. Just remember bigger is better for purple martins. Remember to leave a 2 inch stem on the top of the gourd. The birds will use this as a perch.

Harvest time for gourds is late August and early September. To make bird houses you have to first properly dry your gourds for 4 to 6 months. To do this you would give your gourds a good washing.

After washing rinse the gourd with bleach water.

Use ¾ cup of bleach to a gallon of water. Towel dry your gourds and hang them in your basement or attic. Make sure the gourds aren’t touching one another when drying. That will prevent them from wrinkling and developing soft spots. However, gourds will naturally mold as part of their drying process. Just wipe them with the bleach water once in a while. You can check to see if your gourd is dry by shaking it and seeing if the seeds rattle.

If you don’t feel like drying your own gourds and cleaning them; you can purchase dried gourds all year around at your local hobby stores or online. Some Amish communities also harvest and sell gourds.

Purple martins, blue birds, wrens and other birds all have different habitat requirements for entrance hole and nest cavity sizes. Purple martins should have a crescent shaped entrance hole measuring exactly 1 3/16 inches high. The nesting cavity should be 8 to 9 inches deep so owls and other predators won’t be able to reach them. Smaller gourds about six inches in diameter with a 1 1/2n inch entrance hole are perfect for blue birds. Be sure to wear a face mask when you’re drilling.

For drainage, drill seven holes in the bottom of the gourd with a 5/16 inch bit two inches apart.

Birds also need good ventilation which will keep the hatchlings from becoming over heated and perishing. Drill them at the top of the gourd with the same 5/16 inch drill bit. Drill two sets, the first perpendicular from the entrance hole and the other through the sides used for hanging.

Next sand your gourd bird house entrance hole and shell smooth. Paint with oil- based primer and let dry. Then for purple martins paint the gourd with white exterior enamel using a nylon brush.

To attract purple martins hang at least four or six gourd houses in your yard. You’ll need about two feet of coated copper wire to hang them with.

Make sure the bird house can swing to keep out predators. Hang purple martin bird houses 10 to 15 feet off the ground with the entrance hole facing the open yard. Blue birds also like to face an open area.

Bird houses are just one of the many things you can do with gourds. If bird houses aren’t for you simply try creating great Fall decorations and center pieces with gorgeous vibrantly colored gourds.

MOUNT ZION BAZAAR AND DINNER Take a look ahead to November 17th, for the annual Mt. Zion bazaar and dinner. You’ll always find tables full of baked goods, candies and craft items as well as a good dinner. Plan to be at the American Legion Hall in Bucklin on November 17th.

OOEY GOOEY MAC & CHEESE 1 bx elbow macaroni 1lb 2 can(s) cheddar cheese soup 2 can(s) evaporated milk 1 1/4 stick butter 1 tsp each of salt and pepper 2 c extra sharp cheddar cheese,shredded 2 c sharp cheddar cheese, shredded 2 c pepperjack cheese, shredded DIRECTIONS Preheat oven to 350. Cook pasta according to pasta directions just until done - you don’t want it mushy, because it will absorb a little of the cheesy liquid in the oven. Combine soup, evaporated milk, butter, salt, and pepper in a large microwaveable bowl. Cover with plastic wrap, leaving a small vent, and cook for 6-7 minutes until the butter is melted and the mixture is warm-to-hot throughout. (If making a half batch, 4 minutes in the microwave should do it).

Add to cooked pasta. Add cheeses one at a time stirring constantly, until everything is melted and incorporated. Bake for 40-45 minutes.

For crockpot follow directions 1-5 leave your Crockpot on low and cook for 4 hours.

SLOW COOKER ORANGE CHICKEN boneless chicken breasts, chopped into small chunks (I used about 4) 1/3 cup flour olive oil 1/2 Tbl. salt 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar 3 Tbl. ketchup 6 oz. frozen Orange juice concentrate (thaw or throw it in the microwave for 45 seconds) 4 Tbl. Brown sugar DIRECTIONS In a bowl, mix the orange juice brown sugar, vinegar, salt, and ketchup. Pour the flour in a small bowl. Cover the chicken breast chunks in flour and shake off the excess. Pour a small amount of olive oil in a skillet and brown the flourcovered chicken. The chicken doesn’t need to be fully cooked since it’s going in the Crockpot.

After the chicken is done cooking, pour the pieces into the Crockpot. Then cover the chicken with your sauce mixture and give the pot a stir.

Cook on low for 5-6 hours or on high for 2-3.

Serve over rice and even add veggies if you want a healthier meal.

HOT APPLE CIDER 1/4 cup packed brown sugar 1/2 teaspoon whole allspice 1 teaspoon whole cloves 1 cinnamon stick 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 pinch ground nutmeg 1 large orange, quartered with peel 2 quarts apple cider Place filter in coffee basket, and fill with brown sugar, allspice, cloves, cinnamon stick, salt, nutmeg, and orange wedges. Pour apple cider into coffee pot where the water usually goes.

Brew, and serve hot.

Missouri Department of Conservation Offer Special Seals to the Spread of CWD At its Oct. 19 meeting in Springfield, the Missouri Conservation Commission approved issuing special no-cost “CWD Management Seals” to landowners in the core area where Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) has been detected in Linn and Macon counties. The seals are a special harvest provision that is part of the Missouri Department of Conservation’s (MDC) proactive management plan to limit the spread of CWD. CWD is a disease fatal to white-tailed deer.

It is spread from deer to deer by physical contact, or through contact with soil that contains urine or feces from infected deer.

The disease spreads across the landscape through the natural movement and dispersal of infected deer.

C Y

CWD is not transmissible to domestic livestock or people.

The special harvest provision will help minimize the spread of CWD in the area, and contribute to MDC’s ongoing CWD sampling and testing of harvested deer. With the help of hunters, MDC has tested more than 35,000 free-ranging deer for CWD from all parts of the state since 2002.

According to the Department’s CWD management plan, the seals are limited to the 80 landowners with five acres or more in and around a one-mile radius of where CWD has been detected. Each landowner will be offered five seals. Each seal would allow the landowners, or hunters they authorize to hunt their lands, to harvest one deer of either sex.

Country Living Fall is here! The trees tell me so. They are starting to change into beautiful fall colors. This time of year reminds me of so many childhood memories. I know many houses smell of some kind of pumpkin spice potpourri this time of year. For us it was the smell of saw dust. To this day there is nothing like a fresh cut tree or a large pile of fresh saw dust to take me right back to my childhood. My dad and grandparents always burnt wood. That was our main source of heat. Both households had gas tanks too, but it was mainly for the cook stove. There is nothing like wood heat. I know its messy and a lot of work, but wood heat really soaks into your bones, or so that’s what grandpa always said.

Grandma would quickly pipe up and say, “Yes, and it only takes work and time…and I have more time than money.” We would gear up, usually in the morning, and set out to cut wood.

Dad would make sure we had plenty of gas and oil. Us kids would put snacks and soda pop in a cooler and off we would go to the woods. Upon arrival we would scope out the best spot to start cutting wood.

Dad would park the truck and get the saw out. He would drop the tree that he wanted. Then the work would begin. Dad would start cutting up the tree and us kids would have to pull the brush away and stack it up in a big pile. Then we would put each piece of wood in the truck that we could. If anything had to be split we would roll it away and put them in a pile near the truck if they were not too big. If the chunks were too big then dad split them where they were and then we would pack them to the truck. Now I think about it Dad had us trained pretty good. We would take

breaks when Dad would run out of gas. We might drink a pop and eat a snack but mainly we talked. We would talk about whatever was bothering us at school or if we had some other topic we wanted to bring up.

Dad always had some clear, common since approach to most situations. After the break it was time to get back to work. We would work until the tree was cleaned up. My Dad would make us clean that spot up where we worked to the point it looked like a park.

We would have to pick up all the sticks and rake up all the bark and put it in a feed sack. We would take it home and use it for kindling to start a fire in the wood stove. Usually by the third load of the day, we were so tired. I remember getting home and setting down, thinking how I couldn’t move if the house was on fire. Dad would fix us something to eat usually not much because he was tired too. When you’re tired and hungry a Banquet Salisbury Steak microwave dinner and bread and butter is a meal fit for a queen, in this case. Then off to bed. All too soon we would try to tune out the sound of Dad rattling the coffee pot, hoping that he wouldn’t want to go out to cut wood today. He would tell us to get up breakfast was ready. I could feel every muscle in my body hurting, muscles I didn’t know I had. After breakfast we started the day just like the one before. Dad would say how we would be glad we cut all this wood because we wouldn’t want to do it when the snow was flying and how we all had to work together. I guess that was his little pep talk.

Oh, how it did wonders. All in all I’m glad I got to spend those times with my dad, brother and sister.

That’s Life in the Country.

I know many houses smell of some kind of pumpkin spice potpourri this time of year. For us it was the smell of saw dust.

Also present were General Manager Stephanie Wilson, Assistant General Manager Scott Lucas, Mayor Dale Bagley and David Ausmus with Shafer, Kline & Warren, Inc.

Winkie’s Wisdom

Question: What's the difference between an annulment,

a separation, and a divorce?

An annulment is rare these days; it means for some reason the marriage was invalid from the start. The most common reason may be one of the parties was still married so the second marriage was essentially "invalid" and can be annulled. "Separation" is an interesting term. Married couples may "physically" separate for many reasons, but unless they seek a "legal separation" (or a dissolution), most people do not realize they can still be responsible (in some cases) for their spouse’s debts. A "legal separation" means a court action was filed, property divided, child issues dealt with, but the final marital thread was not severed.

Legal separations are rarely sought, but they are used as a way to divide households, but yet maintain certain benefits (healthcare insurance) that might have been lost in a divorce. A divorce results in a dissolution of marriage, with a full division of marital assets and debts, and a plan related to the custody and financing of any children.

by Patrick Shanahan My memory isn’t nearly as foggy as that Halloween night so long ago when I stood in front of the Ellision mansion. Once the pride of the neighborhood, at that point, it was just a rundown eyesore.

With me was Sven Larson, “The Big Swede.� At twelve, he was bigger than the Superdome, stronger than a football team, and dumber then a cabbage patch doll. But he was also unpredictable, and that made him very dangerous. As we looked up at the darkened, dilapidated, three story building I gave him one last chance to withdraw from our bet. “I’m telling you, Big, there’s ghosts in there.

People have seen ‘em�

He simply laughed. “There’s no such thing as ghosts and this dump ain’t haunted. Get your money ready� When we locked and pulled our pinkies apart the bet was on. “Okay,� I reminded him. “You need to go up on the porch and soap the front windows, all of them.� “Yeah, I know. Just get that half dollar out.�

Big Swede walked to the first step, paused, looked back at me and grinned before slowly climbing the squeaky stairs. As he walked to the farthest window, I thought about the folklore I’d heard ever since I could remember; stories about the mother who waited for

Ivan Carroll, retired director for Macon Electric Cooperative, was honored with the A.C. Burrows Award by the Association of Missouri Electric Cooperatives (AMEC) at that organization’s annual meeting Oct 5 in Branson.

The purpose of the award is to recognize directors and employees of electric cooperatives for outstanding service to their cooperative, community and service areas.

Those who received the award were selected because of their leadership above and beyond the call of duty to strengthen and improve the economic and social conditions in their areas.

Carroll was elected to the Macon Electric Cooperative board of directors on Aug. 2, 1984. He served on the board for 27 years. He was vice president of the board from 2000 until 2011. Ivan’s career has been in agriculture, grain farming and raising cattle in Macon and Shelby counties.

Today, he is semi-retired and continues to work on

the farm with his sons and grandsons. Ivan also has served as a board member for other community groups: Clarence United Methodist Church, South Shelby school board, MFA Oil, MFA Inc. and Shelby County NRCS. Ivan and his wife, DeEtte, have been married for 53 years and have three children: Dean, E.W. and Sharri. They also have 11 grandchildren. Ivan is an avid tractor puller, and he enjoys winter fishing in south Florida.

The award is named for the late Audrian Cleon Burrows of Van Buren, who rose through the ranks to become general manager of the Association of Missouri Electric Cooperatives, which is the statewide service organization for Missouri’s 48 electric cooperatives.

Burrows served in this position from 1968 to 1976.

He was recognized as an outstanding leader in rural electrification and as a distinguished individual who dedicated his life to helping others.

her sailor son’s return before she died. That didn’t happen; but late at night strange organ music could often be heard coming from the darkened house.

As legend stated, music played by the mother’s ghost, while she pined for her long lost son.

As he started to soap the last window, a yellow glow emitted from within the house and as it brightened, a shadowy figure in a black dress and black hat appeared. I was close enough to see the starch white face with no eyes, nose, or mouth, through the grimy glass. Mesmerized, I watched as the long shadowy image crept onto the porch. The Big Swede didn’t stick around for a second look, and quickly

disappeared into the night screaming like a school girl.

A moment later an old man wearing a sea captain’s hat came through the front door. I froze as he walked down the stairs to my side. “Why didn’t you run?

I couldn’t speak I was so scared. The old man chuckled. “Every Halloween you kids come here and harass me. This is a little payback, sonny.�

I finally stammered. “How did you do it? I mean was that really your mom?�

He looked down at me. “You know, I haven’t laughed in a long time, but I did tonight.... How did I do it? I’m an inventor. I hold a lot of patents, so I’m pretty handy. I just used dimmer switches for the lights and rigged up a few pulleys. The rest was easy.

I was pretty sure that’d scare you kids away. But if it didn’t, I was gonna add a little Edgar Allen Poe organ music.� So much for a ghost playing the organ, I thought.

I never told Big or anyone else the truth, but when I tried to pay him, he refused. His only condition came in the form of a warning. “If you ever tell anyone that I ran away, you won’t see thirteen.� I knew that crossing him would be inordinately stupid and perilous. And since The Big Swede’s brain lurked far behind his physical development, I decided that a matter of such a delicate nature had to be handled very carefully. “Don’t worry,� I said, “the only thing anybody will hear from me, is that we both saw the ghost of Mrs. Ellision.�

Northeast Missouri Woman Celebrates Five Years of Service to Older Workers

Experience Works, the nation’s largest nonprofit training and employment organization for older workers through the Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP), recognizes Diane Simbro of Monroe, Mo., for five years of outstanding service to local older workers.

Simbro, an employment and training coordinator, helps low-income older workers obtain the training they need to find good jobs in their communities.

Her motivation comes from wanting people to succeed. “It is the most rewarding job I have ever had,” she says. “I am very proud to be a part of such a forward-thinking and caring organization.”

Simbro’s territory includes Adair, Audrain, Chariton, Clark, Knox, Lewis, Linn, Macon, Marion, Monroe, Pike, Putnam, Ralls, Randolph, Schuyler, Scotland, Shelby, and Sullivan counties.

Experience Works SCSEP is a nonduplicative workforce training program that responds to the ever-growing number of older people who both want and need to work.

“Diane is very dedicated and truly cares about our program participants,” said Diane Chambers, Experience Works state director. “She is known by many in northeast Missouri for the wonderful things she does for her participants. We are proud of her accomplishments these past five years and look forward to many years to come.”
