I have never been one for holding back, I believe in being straight and to the point. I could go through the appar-ent issues of our people through a long winded rant, or just set the stage to fix the issues that reflect in the mirror of every citizen every day they wake up.

• Stop wasteful spending on entitlement that isn’t needed

• Reward our people for inde-pendence not entitlement

• Get our people back to work• Value a product and the ben-

efits it brings, not a price• Stop the massive influx of

Chinese imports that are killing our economy and stand up to the politicians promoting it

• Less Government waste, if the department isn’t making money for the tax payer, it needs to go

• Less Laws that are intrusive to small business. Small business cannot grow with a

crippling strong arm of the big business mentality

• More Manufacturing jobs back in America.

• Less power of Unions over our business owners. Pay a fair wage based on sales and there is no need to unionize

These are just a small amount of the topics I plan on covering if elected as your next state Senator in 2014. I don’t like the “change” in your pocket mentality that this new government mentality going on. Let people grow. Let our business and free enterprise system work at the cost of Big Govern-ment and not vice versa.

Until next time

Never face the facts. if you do you will never get up in the morning. -Marlo Thomas

by H. Dwight Weaver

Since the beginning of settlement along the Osage River in the 1830s, travelers have often found the river difficult to get across, not because of deep water or flooding but because of the scarcity of ferries and bridges. After the 1850s ferries began to make their appear-ance at strategic points along roads that were the most heavily traveled. Suspension bridges (swinging bridges) made their appearance in the late 1800s, the first one being built at Warsaw in 1895. Joe Dice, a native of Warsaw, who helped in the construction of that bridge, later achieved local fame by building more than 30 other sus-pension bridges. Many of them spanned the Osage River. In Miller County, however, Dice built half a dozen bridges across Tavern Creek. Most of those bridges are now gone, replaced in recent years by modern structures. The coming of Lake of the Ozarks only complicated matters

for the natives and tourists in Benton, Camden, Miller and Morgan counties. Several suspension bridges that spanned the Osage were demolished with the coming of the Lake. Linn Creek’s swinging bridge, a toll bridge that carried State Highway 5, fell vic-tim to the Lake. With its demise, the Gov. McClurg Ferry was established because the Lake severed Highway 5 where it crossed the Niangua River and the Osage River. Bridges at those points were not

operational until 1937. After their construc-tion the Gov. McClurg Ferry was out of busi-ness. Several other fer-ries continued to operate for a few years at different locations after the Lake was created but eventually closed. Various communities bordering the Lake and its major arms have, at one time or another, agitated for either ferries or bridges at their locations but have not been able to get county or state support for such projects. For the past 60 years it has been pos-sible to boat Lake of the Ozarks from the Hurricane Deck Bridge to Warsaw without encountering a single car ferry

or passing beneath a single bridge. It seems rather remarkable to think that a bridge needed so badly for so long to connect the east and west sides of the Lake via Shawnee Bend did not get built until the 1990s. Today, the Community Bridge is that link. One can only wonder if any bridge will ever be built anywhere across the Lake between Hurricane Deck and Warsaw.

by Peggy Smith Hake

Miller County became a reality in 1837 and for many years had very few towns within its borders. In 1850, there were only 4 towns ... Tuscumbia, Ibe-ria, Mt. Pleasant, and Rocky Mount. A map of the county, dated 1875, still only shows Tuscumbia, Iberia, Mt. Pleasant and Rocky Mount. There were small post office settlements throughout the county, but no other established towns. By 1905, a county map shows the towns of Olean, Spring Garden, Etterville, Mt. Pleasant, Rocky Mount, Eldon, Aurora Springs, Bagnell, Tuscumbia, Mary's Home, Charles/St. Elizabeth, Ulmans Ridge, Brumley and Iberia. The town of Eldon was platted 15 March 1882 when it became apparent the railroad would be built there and not at Aurora Springs, which was the county's 'boom town' during those days. George Riley Weeks, a Civil War veteran, came

to Miller Co. circa 1867 from the state of Vermont. George brought his wife, Almira (Joslyn) Weeks and two children to Missouri following the war. Typical of other pioneer families, George and Almira decided they would like to see the “wild and wooly west”. When they settled in northern Miller Co., in Saline Township, they bought land northeast of present day Eldon and built a log cabin as their first Missouri home. Later he bought more land north of Eldon and built a larger frame home for his family. George and Almira had two other children after coming to Missouri, twin daughters, but both died young. George Weeks continued to buy many acres in what is today the city of Eldon. When it was determined that a railroad would be built through the area north of Aurora Springs, George decided to layout and plat a new town to surround the proposed railroad tracks. When the old Missouri Pacific Line (called the Jefferson City, Lebanon, and Southwest

railroad) was constructed through northern Miller County, George do-nated land to the railway company to build a depot. George Weeks platted the original town of Eldon to contain 109 blocks. The streets, named by George, in-cluded: Mill, Maple, Oak, Aurora, Pine, Spruce, Broadway, Locust, Grand, Chestnut, and Walnut (all running north and south). The streets which ran east and west were First Street to Fifteenth Street. By 1905, Eldon had two railroads, the Missouri Pacific, with a depot at Second & Maple Streets, and the Chicago, Rock Island, and Pacific with its depot located at the corner of Sixth & Maple Streets. George Weeks and Isaac Newton built the Eldon Roller Mills on the site of Gerbes Supermarket. The mill 'fired' and built the bricks for their own use at the mill. Behind the mill building was an old mill pond but today there is no evidence of the pond.

George Riley Weeks (1838-1910) and his wife, Almira (1840-1928) looked beyond their life span in the late 19th century and laid out the future on a parchment sheet when they platted the new town of Eldon in 1882. No one seems to know for a certainty why the name Eldon was chosen. Leg-end says it was in honor of an English nobleman named Lord Eldon ... if so, he would be proud to see the little city which carries his name today in the late 20th century. NOTE: Sincere thanks to Freda Walker Weeks of Eldon for the above information concerning the beginning of the city of Eldon. Learn more about Eldon at the Miller County Museum, and their website atwww.millercountymuseum.org.

AMERISHOP.BIZ12Missouri's Early Development

Before the coming of white settlers, the region surrounding Jefferson City was home to an ancient group known as the Mound People. In fact, America's largest prehistoric city was located only 160 miles away at what is now Cahokia, Illinois. Why this civilization disappeared remains a mystery. At the time Europeans arrived in the area in the seventeenth century, the Osage Indians inhab-ited the region. In 1673, the French explorers Joliet and Marquette explored the region. In 1682, the explorer LaSalle sailed down the Mississippi River and claimed the area of Jefferson City for France. In 1715, Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac opened a lead mine nearby, where until 1744 white men used slaves to work the mines. During the mid-1700s, set-tlements were begun at Ste. Genevieve and at St. Louis. Soon many new settlers began arriving from Kentucky and Tennessee by way of the Ohio River and its tributaries. In the 1780s, the Spanish built a road northward from New Madrid, Missouri to St. Louis, which today is known as U.S. Route 51. The area was explored by mem-bers of the Lewis and Clark expedition in 1804. In the early 1800s, frontiersman Daniel Boone carved out the Boone's Lick Trail, which is now Interstate Highway 70. It ran westward from St. Charles to the Missouri River at Franklin. In time the Santa Fe Trail was developed, running

from Franklin westward to Indepen-dence, then southward. The Oregon Trail branched westward from Independence.

Created to Serve as Capital

Jefferson City holds the distinction of having been created specifically to serve as the state capital by a commission ap-pointed by the Missouri state legislature in 1821. But until government buildings could be constructed, the town of St.

Charles served as the capital. Jefferson City was laid out by Daniel Morgan Boone, the son of the frontiersman. It was named for U.S. President Thomas Jefferson, who served from 1801-1809. The town was incor-porated in 1825, and the general assembly moved there in 1826. At that time, the town had thirty-one families, a

general store, a hotel, and a few other buildings. For several years, other towns attempt-ed to have the capital city changed, and in 1832 Governor John Miller suggested that a state penitentiary be built in Jefferson City to strengthen the town's position as capital. The prison was completed in 1836. The next year, the Capitol burned and all the state records went up in flames. Five years later, a new statehouse was complet-ed at the site of the present Capitol build-ing. At that time, although pigs still wan-dered in the streets, modern steamboats regularly visited the city and stage coach

routes brought travelers. These facilities encouraged the growth of local industries, including grist mills, flour mills, tanneries, and distilleries. The 1830s saw the influx of German immigrants, who were mostly farmers.

Civil War Brings Strife and Division

In 1839, Jefferson City was incorpo-rated as a city, and in 1840 the popula-tion stood at 1,174 people, including 262 slaves. A frightening incident took place in 1849, when a ship carrying Mormon church members, some of whom had cholera, landed at the city dock. For two years, the plague infected residents in the area, paralyzing the local trade. In 1855, the Pacific Railroad line was completed between St. Louis and Jeffer-son City. However, the first trip between

the two cities was a disaster. As residents waited for the president of the railroad and other dignitaries to arrive, a pier collapsed on a bridge that crossed the Gasconade River, and the resulting train accident killed 28 people and injured 30 others. Regular train service did not begin until the next year. The coming of the Civil War (1860–1865) brought to a head the question of whether slavery would continue in Mis-souri. While President Abraham Lincoln encouraged an end to slavery, Missouri Governor Claiborne F. Jackson favored the retention of slavery and the secession of the southern states, including Missouri.

Decades Pass Before Wounds Heal

Soon after, a convention was held in Missouri to decide which position the state

But Gover-nor Jackson refused to recognize federal authority and also refused to send troops to fight for the Union Army. Instead, he rallied 50,000 volunteers for the state militia and marched from the capital to join Confederate forces at Boon-eville. But two days later, Union troops overran Jefferson City and pitched camp on Capitol Hill. In 1864, Confederate Gen-eral and former Missouri Governor Ster-ling Price and his men marched to within four miles of the city and announced they would attack. Troops exchanged fire, but in the end Price withdrew and fled westward toward Kansas City, and Jefferson City remained in Union hands. Decades passed before the city recov-ered from the rifts occasioned by the Civil War. But the Missouri constitution of 1875 restored peace of mind to the citizens and a period of expansion began. Such indus-tries as printing and shoe manufacturing developed in the city, and within ten years a bridge was built across the Missouri River, uniting the pro-South Jefferson City with its pro-North neighbors in Kansas. In 1896, the town of Sedalia tried to wrest the capital from Jefferson City, but the attempt failed when Jefferson City triumphed in a popular vote among Missouri citizens.

The City in the Twentieth Century

After 1900, the local economy began to grow again with the expansion of the state

government. In 1904, The Supreme Court Building was constructed with funds from the St. Louis World's Fair. The next year St. Mary's Hospital was built. In 1911, street car service began in the city, and a dra-matic fire brought the destruction of the old State House. A new one was completed in 1917 and the present Capitol building was dedicated in 1924. For the next forty years, the business of state government business continued to dominate the local scene, throughout the periods of two world wars and the Great Depression. The city slowly continued to grow, as more people left the local farms and gravitated to the city. In 1951, Still Hospital was built, and in 1954 a major prison riot took place at the state prison in Jefferson City. The 1960s saw the construction of Memorial Hospital, the opening of Rex M. Whitten Expressway, and Jefferson City's develop-ment as a manufacturing center. In 1983, the John G. Christy Municipal Building opened. A major flood in 1993 caused extensive damage, but by the end of the 1990s the city had fully recovered. Jef-ferson City, notable for its liveability, and relatively low cost of living and high per capita income, has entered the 2000s with vitality.

Perfect for decorating your Christmas table, get your imagination going with this recipe! You will need:6.3 oz flour3.2 oz sugar2.1 oz softened butter1 eggvanilla extractFor the frosting:7 oz powdered sugar2 tablespoons of lemon juice1 packet of small colored candy. Mix the flour, sugar and butter, then add the egg and a few drops of vanilla. Ask an adult to heat the oven to 390°F (me-dium heat). Place a sheet of parchment paper onto a baking sheet ready for the oven. Roll the dough (0.4 inches thick) onto a table top dusted with flour. Using cookie cutters, cut shapes. Set the cookies you cut out onto the baking sheet. Ask an adult to place the baking sheet in the oven for 10 to 15 minutes. To make the frosting, put the lemon juice into a bowl and add the powdered sugar little by little. Spread the frosting over the cookies while they’re still hot and have some fun decorat-ing them with the candy.

DIRECTIONSPlace the ground beef in a large pot and throw in the garlic. Cook over medium heat until browned.

Palace of Saint Nicholas in the MoonChristmas Morning

My Dear Susy Clemens,

I have received and read all the letters which you and your little sister have writ-ten me. I can read your and your baby sister's jagged and fantastic marks without any trouble at all. But I had trouble with those letters which you dictated through your mother and the nurses, for I am a foreigner and cannot read English writing well. You will find that I made no mistakes about the things which you and the baby ordered in your own letters--I went down your chimney at midnight when you were asleep and delivered them all myself--and kissed both of you, too . . . . But . . . there were . . . one or two small orders which I could not fill because we ran out of stock . . . . There was a word or two in your mama's letter which . . . I took to be "a trunk full of doll's clothes." Is that it? I will call at your kitchen door about nine o'clock this morning to inquire. But I must not see anybody and I must not speak to anybody but you. When the kitchen doorbell rings, George must be blindfolded and sent to the door. You must tell George he must walk on tiptoe and not speak-- otherwise he will die someday. Then you must go up to the nursery and stand on a chair or the nurse's bed and put your ear to the speaking tube that leads down to the kitchen and when I whistle through it you must speak in the tube and say, "Welcome, Santa Claus!" Then I will ask whether it was a trunk you

ordered or not. If you say it was, I shall ask you what color you want the trunk to be . . . and then you must tell me every single thing in detail which you want the trunk to contain. Then when I say "Good-by and a merry Christmas to my little Susy Clemens," you must say "Good-by, good old Santa Claus, I thank you very much." Then you must go down into the library and make George close all the doors that open into the main hall, and everybody must keep still for a little while. I will go to the moon and get those things and in a few minutes I will come down the chimney that belongs to the fireplace that is in the hall--if it is a trunk you want--because I couldn't get such a thing as a trunk down the nursery chimney, you know . . . . If I should leave any snow in the hall, you must tell George to sweep it into the fireplace, for I haven't time to do such things. George must not use a broom, but a rag--else he will die someday . . . . If my boot should leave a stain on the marble, George must not holystone it away. Leave it there always in memory of my visit; and whenever you look at it or show it to anybody you must let it remind you to be a good little girl. Whenever you are naughty and someone points to that mark which your good old Santa Claus's boot made on the marble, what will you say, little sweetheart? Good-by for a few minutes, till I come down to the world and ring the kitchen doorbell.

Your loving Santa ClausWhom people sometimes call
