“It’s a great day to be alive and live in the Ozarks!” This daily greeting blared from the radio in my childhood home in southwest Missouri. What a positive way to begin the day!

As I reviewed the prices gathered in the fi rst quarter Marketbasket survey, my mind wandered back to this expres-sion. Since Missouri prices were again less than the national average, perhaps “it’s a great time to live in Missouri’” would be an appropriate way to an-nounce the latest survey results.

Each quarter, prices are gathered across the state and nation on 16 food items refl ecting a cross section of agri-cultural products. Last quarter, in an un-usual turn, Missouri prices were higher than the national average. This quarter they dropped lower compared to other

states.In the fi rst quarter of 2012, the aver-

age price for Missouri shoppers rang in at $46.87 compared to $52.01 in the fi -nal quarter of 2011, a decrease of $5.14. However, shoppers saw an increase of $2.25, compared to one year ago when the same items cost $44.62.

Nationally, the total price for the quarter was $52.47, refl ecting a $5.60 savings for shoppers in the Show Me state. This is welcome news since the last quarter.

Within the state, prices dropped on 12 items and increased on four. At the meat counter ground chuck, sirloin tip roast, bacon, sliced deli ham and chicken breasts all showed price drops. Other items with lesser cost this quarter are eggs, apples, potatoes, orange juice, salad mix, bread and vegetable oil. Those with increases are milk, shredded

cheese, fl our and cereal. Since mid-2010, meat and dairy

counter prices have accounted for most price increases. According to the United States Department of Agriculture, meat prices likely topped out in February and wholesale prices are on a decline. Demand for protein foods around the world remains strong.

Many factors impact grocery prices, and energy costs continue to be the wild card. When oil prices exceed $100 per barrel, it is refl ected in costs associated with producing, processing, packaging and transporting food products.

Missouri food prices are historically lower than the national average. Fol-lowing last quarter’s contrary report, the latest news reinforces the sentiment: It is great to live in Missouri.

Taking Time to Make Memories

By: Dani Evansdani.evans33@yahoo.comGrowing up we spent hours watching TV, too many,

it was almost the only thing we did together. There was no talking, we sat and watched in silence. One day, I was on the floor in front of the TV with my dad’s great dane and found a pebble. Wondering what would hap-pen, I dropped the pebble between her toes of her back foot. She flicked her foot and launched that pebble right through the screen of the TV. There was a loud pop and moments later the TV went dark. I loved that dog! My joy at the explosion was short lived; a new TV came in that weekend. Years later a technical issue caused the TV to be disconnected for a number of years, as a result we started doing other things together. It was amazing and I have some of my best memories from this time.

As an adult, my family does not own a TV because we do not want to miss any chance to interact and have fun. Here are just a few of the things we do instead.

The Library. There are so many wonderful books that I check out every week for Joshua. He loves reading so much that just before bed we will sit down as a fam-ily and read for an hour. His imagination comes alive and many times he will ask questions about the stories wanting to know more about each character. We make up back stories as a family and many times Mommy and Daddy get a really good laugh, too! The Macon County Library is the one Joshua and I use when we are visit-ing Missouri. Mrs. Nuhn does a rocking job with that library.

The Local Park. While we were visiting this past summer, Joshua loved the Jackson St park, in Macon. For rainy days there is glitter, glue, crayons, markers, paint and scissors! Crafts rock and kids love them!

The Play basement. Our basement is full of toys! Tball, front loaders, balls and much more. Our son prac-tices his motor skills and direction giving. “Ok, Mom-

my, this is how you play the game. First, you take a racket. Then you pick a ball. Toss it in the air and swing. That is how you do it!”

Game night. We play games together as a fam-ily. HiHoCherry-O, Elefun, Memory and many more are available. This is a great way to involve other people(Grandmas, Grandpas, Aunts, Uncles, cousins) as well! When you have company and everyone wants to interact, playing a game together gives everyone a turn to be the center of attention. A great lesson for kids!

Don’t call and cancel the TV subscription today, just keep it turned off. Unplug it, if you have too. Set up the recording device so you can watch all your favorite programs after they are in bed. With the TiVO and the DVR, and the ever increasing size and affordability of digital storage space, you don’t have to miss a thing. It will all be there waiting for you when you get back. Ask yourself what your favorite childhood memories are. Did any of them involve the TV? With the excep-tion of the one I have already shared I have no other.

Lone Star ticks, which are notorious carriers of many diseases includ-ing cytauxzoonosis, or “bobcat fever,” have been spreading across the na-tion in recent years. As a result, cats across much of the country are now exposed to the deadly dis-ease. University of Mis-souri veterinarian Leah Cohn, a small animal disease expert, and Adam Birkenheuer from North Carolina State University, have found an effective treatment for the danger-ous disease.

“Previous treatment methods have only been able to save less than 25 percent of infected cats, but our method, which is now being used by veteri-narians across the coun-try, has been shown to

As Deadly Cat Disease Spreads Nationally, MU Veterinarian Finds Effective TreatmentCat owners should keep cats indoors, use tick preventatives to reduce chance of disease

save about 60 percent of infected cats,” Cohn said. “While that number isn’t as high as we’d like due to the deadly nature of the disease, our method is the fi rst truly effective way to combat the disease.”

Routinely carried by bobcats and mountain lions, Cohn and Birken-heuer also found that bob-cat fever can even infect tigers. All types of cats, but only cats, can catch bobcat fever. Cohn calls the disease the “Ebola virus for cats,” saying that it is a very quick and painful death for cats that succumb from the infec-tion. Bobcat fever is eas-ily spread between cats through tick bites, but Cohn and Birkenheuer found that the disease is not readily passed down

through birth like malaria and many other protozoan diseases.

“Bobcat fever affects healthy outdoor cats the most, because they are the most likely to get bit-ten by ticks,” Cohn said. “The disease acts very quickly and can kill a cat less than a week after it begins to show signs of being sick, so it is impor-tant to get treatment from a veterinarian as soon as the cat appears ill.”

Cohn says the best way for cat owners to prevent their cats from catching bobcat fever is to keep them indoors as much as possible. Early symptoms of the disease include sluggishness and refusal to eat. Pet owners who also have dogs should use tick collars, because

while dogs are not sus-ceptible to the disease, they can bring infected ticks into contact with house cats. Cohn says tick preventatives for cats also can help, but owners should be sure to check with their veterinarians to make sure they use cat-specifi c products, as tick collars for dogs can be harmful to cats.

Cohn says her future research involves creat-ing a vaccine to protect cats against bobcat fe-ver. Her work has been published in the Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, the Journal of Veterinary Pharmacology and Therapeutics, and the Journal of Veterinary Parasitology.

Good news, the Home Press South will be mov-ing into an offi ce on the west end of Shelmadine Tire and Auto. Moving is a challenge when you have to keep everything running smoothly and on time. Right now I have items spread out for 5 miles running back and forth. Hopefully soon we will be all settled in.

It has been a busy week. I’ve been working on the new offi ce and trying to get some “Spring Yard Work” done. It’s funny how my defi nition of “Yard Work” or “Landscaping” is noth-ing like my husbands. I ask for the simplest things like leveling out a spot for the pool, placing river rock in a small area, setting my fl at rocks etc… and what I get is… a dirt track with a jump in my front yard, logs stacked for a giant bonfi re and 4 wheeler trails throughout the property.

Two years ago I planted several trees and 2 lilac bushes. To this day I have none because some how they got in the way of the mower. I guess they just jumped right out there.

We have been married for 21 years and still have a communication prob-lem. Actually he has a “Selective Hearing” prob-lem. My problem is I’m still looking for a cure for “Selective Hearing”.

I think I may have a plan, He did suggest a new dozer seat for father’s day. Since mother’s day comes before father’s day, I can ask for landscaping. If I get the usual “You’re not my mother”. Reply, then for father’s day, I will get him some trees and land-scaping items and blame it on our communication problem. I already know what I will say,..”Oh, sor-ry honey I know you said dozer seat but what I heard was “let’s do some land-scaping”.

What we think of our selves over rides what oth-ers think of us. There is no one able to change our mind when we are con-vinced we are unworthy. Abuse by others and our-selves will only stop when I think I deserve better.

Let’s look at what Christ thinks of us.

Ps.139:14 I will praise thee; for I am fear-fully [and] wonderfully made: marvelous [are] thy works; and [that] my soul knoweth right well.

15th verse. My sub-stance was not hid from thee, when I was made.

When I say I am not good enough, I am saying God made a mistake, or God made junk.

You were good enough for Jesus Christ to bleed and die for. Jesus called you friend, and God called you His son. We have an open invitation to the throne of God, for we were told to come boldly to the throne of God.

Shame is learned many

Self Worth times from our home life. Abuse whether it is physi-cal, sexual, or mental causes underserved shame. God said “let’s make man and woman in our own im-age”. You were not made to be an extension of your parents. Rather, you are an individual made in the image of God. You are more than good enough. Your heritage goes back to God.

Self appraisal can some times be too harsh. Oth-ers do not know us well enough to have a good opinion, but Jesus, the good shepherd, knows us for who we really are. He laid his life down for his sheep - that is you and I.

When we are saved our sins are forgiven. Jesus said, “never remembered against us”.

The child of God is a new creature and old things have passed away. Sins, red like crimson, have been washed white as snow.

Pastor Ron Thomason

Two Hill Billys were in the woods hunting. They came upon a huge hole in part of a hill, they saw a rock so they threw the rock in the hole and put their ear close to see what they could hear……..No Sound so they saw a bigger rock, threw it in the hole and still No Sound. They saw even a bigger rock, threw it in the hole and still No Sound.

This hole had them bewildered so they saw a

railroad tie laying on the ground and decided to throw it in the hole. They did, and all of the sudden there was a goat running really fast by them after that tie.

After a bit, here comes a man through the brush. He said “You fellers seen a goat?” They said “Yup, he went in this hole real fast, 80 miles an hour or so.

The man said “It couldn’t have been my goat, he couldn’t run that fast cause he was tied to a railroad tie”

As the road construc-tion and maintenance season begins, motorists are seeing highway work zones popping up across the state and new signs are being put in place to help solicit feedback.

MoDOT’s job is to make the work zones clear to understand and navigate, and above all, safe. Part of the ongoing process to continually im-prove work zones is to so-licit feedback from those traveling the roadways. This year, new signs will ask drivers to “Rate Our Work Zones.” “We are placing these signs near the beginning of work zones as a way to encour-age motorists to tell us what they think,” said Ju-lie Stotlemeyer, traffi c li-aison engineer. “Once mo-torists safely reach their destinations, we want their feedback on what it was like to travel through the work zone.”

MoDOT is looking for the public’s opinion on a variety of work zone de-tails – including clear and

MoDOT Asks Motorists To “Rate Our Work Zones”

understandable signing, channelizers and barrels providing proper guid-ance, and whether or not the work zone caused mo-torists any delays.

“We are working to have these signs displayed not just for construction projects, but on mainte-nance activities as well,” said Stotlemeyer. “You might not see the sign at every work zone, but we want to use them where they will serve as a re-minder to motorists that our survey is out there if they have time to fi ll it out.”

The purpose of the signs, and the work zone surveys, is to maintain an exemplary level of cus-tomer service.

All motorists travel-ing through a work zone are encouraged to partici-pate in the online survey at www.modot.mo.gov/workzones/Comments.htm

Remember to pay at-tention when approaching a work zone and always buckle up!

CITY COUNCIL MEETS

Bucklin City Council met on April 11, 2012 at 5:00 p m in City Hall.

Mayor Don Noah con-ducted the meeting with the following present:

Councilmen George Simmons, Dennis Cole, Barry Shipley and Vernon Robertson. Also attending were Clerk John Wright, John Deshayes, Lynn Shi-pley, Robert Walters, Larry Daniels, Steve Herriman and Coleman Saunders.

Barry Shipley was sworn as city alderman by clerk John Wright as Barry was elected in the April 3, election.

Mayor Noah advised the council that in the April 3rd election there were several write in votes, Larry Dan-iels received the most with 28 votes. Mayor Noah made the appointment of Larry Daniels to the coun-cil. Motion to accept the appointment of Larry Dan-iels made and carried. At this time Larry Daniels was sworn in to offi ce by Clerk John Wright.

John Deshayes of All-state Consultants came before the council and advised there were extra grant funds left. The city can use this money but has to use the same contractor, PCI, and have approval from USDA.

The council discussed parking on the city streets. It was felt that parking on the streets was blocking the road and the city did not pave the streets for people to use as a parking lot. It was decided to have Marshal Wright look at the trouble areas and advise those parking and block-ing the streets to have the vehicles moved.

The backhoe front tires need to be replaced. Es-timates from MTO were $208.00 per tire and Wal-ter’s Garage was $184.00 per tire. Motion made and carried to buy the tires from Walter’s Garage.

Lynn Shipley came be-fore the council as a repre-sentative of the Civic Club. She informed the council that their theme for this year is ‘Promote a Better Community’. They club would like the city’s help in cleaning up yards, trash and keeping dogs up and off the streets. The council listened to her report and felt this was important and would look into the mat-ters.

Motion to adjourn made and carried. Adjourned at 7:15 p m.

NEW KIDS IN TOWN

Any time now you will see several new kids on West Santa Fe Street.

The faithful guard don-key, Maggie, will have a full time job keeping track of these lively little fel-lows! Randy West expects his goat family to increase rapidly starting around April 26.

What a good time to take your grandchildren to Randy’s fence to watch these baby goats romp and jump. (Really the grand-children are just an excuse so an old grandma won’t seem ‘childish’).

BUCKLIN COM-

MUNITY ASSOCIA-TION MEETINGBCA President Doug

Anders called the BCA meeting to order the 16th of April at 7:00 p m in the Community Building with nine members and 3 offi -cers present.

Secretary Stacey An-ders read minutes of the March meeting and they were approved as read. There was no Treasurer report.

Entertainment chair-

man, Bob Davis, reported contracts are signed and ready for the entertainment all three nights on the stage at the homecoming.

Doug Anders reported he is in touch with the company providing the rides for the homecoming. Negotiations are wrapping up and he hopes to have a fi nalized report next month.

There is no fund raiser scheduled for May as so many school activities will be taking place. June 16, is a tentative date for the annual fi sh fry and pie auction in the park. More about that later.

Doug Anders spoke of his appreciation to the group for support given him during his terms as President. He chose to step aside awhile but will continue to help in every way he can; just not as president. A hearty round of applause was given as a thanks for all he has done to make the group a suc-cess.

New offi cers installed were: President Thelma Jones, Vice President Betty Jo Shoemaker, Secretary Stacey Anders, Treasurer David Jenkins, Assistant Treasurer Lynn Shipley, Entertainment chairman Bob Davis, Fund raiser chairperson Lori Davis.

Thelma conducted the remainder of the meeting. It was decided to start be-fore long obtaining fam-ily memberships and busi-ness sponsorships for the homecoming in August. Betty Shoemaker and Do-ris Noah will solicit for family memberships while Doug and Stacey Anders will be responsible for the businesses.

It is almost time to end gathering names for the Bucklin Birthday/Activity Calendar. If you have not ordered your cal-endar or sent your names in to be included on the calendar contact David Jenkins before it is too late. Charge is the same as in the past;

fi fty cents for each name and fi ve dollars for each calendar. These

calendars have room on the date to write appoint-ments and reminders.

Pretty near a necessity for any offi ce or kitchen wall.

THATCharlie Hughes brought

radishes, green onions and fresh lettuce right out of their garden for our dinner last week. Delicious.

A nine year old boy was showing a friend through his grandparents house. He told the little friend, “Here is grandma’s kitch-en. She is in here most of the time and the house al-ways smells good.”

The small guest looked about and was heard to quietly observe, “Sounds like paradise to me”.

Seven purple martins have come to live in the house we provide just for them. Do you wonder where the eighth martin is? We do.

However, a couple of sparrows and even a fam-ily of starlings have moved in as well. Guess we have an integrated community out by the garden and all seem to be quite happy

It was good to fi nd a nice note from a Brook-fi eld resident, Mrs. Burns, in our email box. Glad you enjoy reading what is happening in our little spot of Linn County.

As the sun is beginning to fall on the west side of the sky and the shadows have shifted, the roof of the bamboo hut I’m sitting in no longer blocks the sun from my face. A few minutes later and all the kids will be out of school and walking by with a big smile on their face and waving to us. A couple minutes after that about 10 – 20 of them will return after putting their bags away.

The majority of the kids are between fi ve and ten years old. They come yelling, “Kuya Caleb, Ate’ April, Kuya Jimmy” and start screaming as we walk to the gate. God has been showing me a lot in these children. I think one of the biggest things He has shown me is their desire both to be and to feel loved. I know it has only been less than a month, but believe it or not, we had a bond with these children that’s unexplainable in the fi rst week.

Here’s a quick story from the fi rst week that will give you an example of what I’m talking about. We are getting ready to leave to Manila to drop Jun (Alex’s husband) off at the airport to go back to the states. We were playing with the kids outside while waiting for the van. When the van arrives, we tell the kids “Goodbye” as we are about to leave. Many of the kids bundle down and begin crying. As we are driving off, Jun asks, “Why are all of them crying?” as tears begin to develop in all of our eyes, including his own. Jun said, “I’ve never seen anything like that. Wow! They are making me cry!” It was a sweet start to what God is going to do in their lives.

The kids are making such an impact in our lives though. I know God has a lot He is using them in our lives for, but a couple things are already apparent to us. As we sat down this morning for our daily devotional and prayer time, Alex and April both shared something with us about the kids. April was sharing how no matter what might have happened that day or how she is feeling, the instant those kids run to the gate and scream out for her, her entire day has just changed. I think that’s true for all of us. Alex was sharing how she desires to go and play with all of us. There are many things from her childhood here that she is reminded of them, but also as a result of things from that childhood she is not able to do everything we do. I know and she knows that God is using this as a changing point in her life.

Children Of God

Now I want to explain just the most minuet amount about these children that I can. The children here have a heart that I’ve never witnessed before. They long for attention from us, probably because we are American, but also because they have a longing to feel loved. I pray that the love they feel from us would be Christ’s love expressed to them only through us.

It’s awesome how many crafty things they can do. One boy Alvin (who I claim to be mine but April tries to steal him) makes April fl owers out of straws. We took him and two other kids to get a snack and he just pulled a straw out of this glass and folded it up into a fl ower. Then a few days later he has a bunch of them all joined together to give to her.

Many of the kids only have a couple changes of clothes, and many of them don’t have sandals. Most of them that have sandals, well the sandals are worn out and break every little bit. They know how to fi x them by sticking a nail through the strap at the bottom until it rips completely out to a place where they can no longer fi x them anymore.

This boy John-John in particular didn’t have any sandals, so Jimmy bought him a pair. He actually doesn’t have much at all. Him and his sister Joy are always home during the day. Their mom died and their dad can’t afford to send them to school, so they’ve never been to school before. He has the most loving heart though and it doesn’t take any effort for him to express it when he comes with his eyes lit up and a big smile on his face just longing to play.

Finally, these kids are dirty. Many of them have bites all over their body, and many of them smell. John-John for sure! April picked him up to give him a piggyback ride the other day just to reach around and feel his butt, as his shorts (like many of the kids) have a huge hole in them exposing most of his butt. Despite how dirty their clothes are or how many holes they have, no matter how dirty or smelly they are, and no matter what we think they lack; no amount of outward fi lth can change their loving hearts.

Matthew 18:4-5 – “Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. Whoever receives one little child like this in My name receives Me.” (This is Jesus speaking.)

Much Love,Caleb

Country Living

“Dad would be called out by

citizens that had leaky faucets, or

stopped up toilets and those were

the easy jobs. I also remember a

few Christmas Eve’s that my Dad

was called away from his family

because someone’s meter was frozen

up or there was a water leak.”

Life in the CountryLast week there was an article in the paper about a man who was being honored by the Department of Natural Resources for 31 years of service in the water works fi eld. Many of us cannot imagine having the same job for 31 years, but this man is one of the few that has hung in there through thick and thin. He has seen a large number of councilmen/women and may-ors come and go. He has been a part of many changes for the City of Bevier over the years. He can tell you where the water and sewer lines are, whether they are on the maps or not. He knows exactly what valves to close or open in emergency situations. One commu-nity member labeled Wayne McGee as keeper of the knowledge, I think that is the most accurate label he could be given. My dad, Wayne, wasn’t always a “wa-terman”. Years ago he worked on the railroad, with life being unpre-dictable as it usually is; he was called home and found himself in the situation of raising two little girls on his own. He never went back to the railroad job, but in-stead found a job with the City working with Vern Hyde and Bill Powell. I remember this because once in a while we would have to go over to their house and their wives would give me and my sister the best cookies. Any-way, money was tight because the City didn’t pay anything like the railroad job did, so Dad would take on side jobs after working a full day at the City. Dad would be called out by citizens that had leaky faucets, or stopped up toilets and those were the easy jobs. I also remember a few Christmas Eve’s that my Dad was called away from his family because some-one’s meter was frozen up or there was a water leak. There were many other times Dad was called away for emergency reasons to do with the City, but a little girl remembers Christmas. I remember when Gene Smith was mayor; he would have Christmas parties at his house for the City employees. Instead of Dad tak-

ing a date or any other person he could have taken, he took me. I got to wear a nice dress and thought I was the belle of the ball, I was probably 8 years old or so. I also remember things that were not so good about Dad’s job. Some citizens calling our house cussing like sailors because they didn’t have any water, us girls would deliver the message to Dad, that someone called and “they were mad”, and he would say, “It takes all kinds for world to go around, just stay away from that kind”, and my sister and I having to set in the City truck all night because Dad was called out to a water leak in the middle of the night. It being so cold he would get in the truck just long enough to put his hands in front of the heater to warm the wrench that was frozen to his hand. But there are more things to Wayne McGee, he loves raising cattle, when we all

lived at home including my brother we had nearly fi fty goats, my brother had at least one-hundred chickens, we had bottle calves, we baled hay, had a garden, and spent some weekends at the Rutledge fl ee market. Now in life, Dad enjoys his grandkids and yes, he had quite a few his son Anthony has two kids, a boy and girl, his daughter Chrissy has two kids, a boy and a girl, and I have three two boys and a girl, so that is four grandsons and three grand-daughters. He loves spending time with the grandkids. Not long ago he took nearly all of them fi shing at his pond, for Halloween he hooked

up the hay trailer and took them all on a hay ride around the farm, and he had an Easter egg hunt for them all because the Easter Bunny always comes to grandpa’s house. My Dad has always instilled in us kids the value of family, what it is to take care of one another, a strong work ethic, and no matter what take care of your kids and take them to church. So that’s a tiny bit of back ground on the City of Bevier’s water-man and my Dad. I’m very proud to be your daughter and congratulations on your award and honor.

Thursday afternoon, April 12, 2012, members of The American Legion Bucklin, Missouri Green Hills Post 57 and Squad-ron 57 Sons of the Ameri-can Legion welcomed the landing of a World War Two aircraft, a B-25 Billy Mitchell bomber, at Moberly, Missouri Omar Bradley Airport. The B-25 was renown as the aircraft fl own by then Lieutenant Colonel Jimmy Doolittle in the 1942 raid over To-kyo, Japan. The B-25 that landed at Moberly had fl own forty seven combat missions in World War Two and still had patches covering bullet holes.
