Golf Tournament benefits Perry Christian Church

On Saturday, Oct. 5, the Perry Christian Church hosted a golf tournament at the Vandalia Country Club. There were six teams of four people who participated in the scramble.

Eighteen area sponsors each sponsored a hole for $100. Other contributors provided 60 prizes and a $10,000 prize for a hole-in-one. There was also a 50/50 raffle.

In total there were 74 sponsors. All participants were provided with snacks and a meal afterward.

Dan Schappe won the prize for the golfer closest to the pin. Cheryl Oligschleager won the women’s prize for the longest drive and Kevin Hoshaw won the men’s prize for the longest drive.

Golfers came from Perry, St. Louis, Hannibal and Kirksville. Prizes were given to the three teams with the highest score. In first place was the team of Clyde Oligschleager, Cheryl Oligschleager, Dan Schappe, and John Milligan. Tying for second was the team of Kevin Hoshaw, Todd Hoshaw,

Bennett Hoshaw and Jamie Tennyson and the team of Greg Ferrario, Brian Ferrario.

Arlen Provancha, spokesperson for the Perry Christian Church, said that the money made from what he “hopes to be the first of an annual event” will help the church continue some of its local mission work with Sunday school, Vacation Bible School, youth activities and meal delivery in town. The Church realized an estimated $2500 profit.

VIEWS & COMMENTS From the Editor

by Editor Carolyn Trower Homecoming, the word evokes both nostalgia and excitement. I remember a week filled with crazy clothes, posters and painted hallways, decorated lockers and contests. I’m sure there was some classwork in there, too, but that pales when compared to one of the best week of the school year. We had a bonfire and burned the opponent’s mascot with teenaged abandon while we sang the school fight song. Cheerleaders waved pom-poms and we all cheered until we were hoarse; all leading up to the big game and the coronation.

Walking to the football field last Friday I could feel the same crackle of excitement. Dozens of kids from kindergarten to high school wore painted faces and blue and white t-shirts or jerseys. Small footballs flew through the air on the track; blue and white bows, glittering beads and chunky necklaces sparkled.

Tension mounted as halftime approached and the candidates walked onto the field. I’m betting most in the crowd saw both the scene in front of them and the memory of a Homecoming past. The new King and Queen smiled, cameras flashed and it was time for the game to resume. Only a few minutes to burn memories that will last a lifetime.

Homecoming is a time when we are encouraged to remember the past glory of our youth while watching the current events swirl around the youth of today, weaving their memories with the crisp night air under Friday night lights.

TRUCKERS ON STRIKE When I first heard about this movement several weeks ago, I was excited to see every day American’s – from all different geographical locations joining together to make a point. Now I’m just not sure what I think. Originally, this “organization” was asking for truckers to either ride to DC with them this weekend in protest of our president and his tactics or to go on strike and not leave their house for the entire weekend. Those seemed like two reasonable actions for disgruntled Americans to take. I was all for staying home for three days straight and not spending any money.

However, a spokeswoman for the group has said they are demanding the arrest of any public office holders who haven’t upheld the Constitution. Whoa!!!! I’m pretty sure those are unreasonable demands. I believe if someone is going to organize a movement like this, they should have realistic or reasonable goals and objectives. I am afraid after reading several different quotes from organizers that they are only going to give truck drivers in general a bad rap.

Living in Center, I know several truck drivers. I have an uncle who drives a truck for a living. I’ve had lively conversations with several of them about a whole range of topics, from politics to parenting styles. I wouldn’t imagine any of them being on board with this group headed to DC. I think they would want to join forces with a group that has more attainable and realistic goals. I’d be okay with them changing their objective to we will block traffic in DC until the politicians can sit down and reach a compromise – on the government shutdown and the debt ceiling.

I’m still not sure what to think of this shutdown and who is to blame. Really, I don’t think we can blame one party or the other – it’s all of their faults. I’m glad to see that most conservatives aren’t slinging mud like some Democrats are. Did anyone see Claire McCaskill’s interview on television last week when WWII veterans from Missouri took down the blockades at their memorial? Wow!! I was ashamed when I heard her call other Congressmen and Senators out for playing political games by being there just for the cameras. Of course they all knew there would be cameras there that day – and some of those who went to welcome our vets are there for every honor flight tour when Congress is in session – not just those from their home state.

I received an email from the organization I told readers about several months ago – Missouri Coalition Against Common Core about three regional conferences in the state of Missouri. Last weekend the first meeting took place in Kansas City.

There is another one in St. Louis on October 20 and one in Springfield on the 26th.

Obviously, these conferences are focused on how to stop Common Core or fight it. I believe these conferences would still provide information about Common Core and how it works if that is what you are looking for. I hope I am able to attend the one in St. Louis. If you are interested, please send me an email or check my blog for a link with more information.

It’s Monday night as I write this and I have watched the new line-up on Fox News prime time. I think I will like it. I’ve always liked Greta and it was hard to stay up and catch the whole show some nights, so I’m glad she’s moved to 6. And I love Megyn Kelly – so I am really happy to see her in the 8 pm time slot.

How Do You Tell If The Government Is Shut Down?

Has anyone noticed less productivity from our National Zoo this week? Now, it’s even rumored that the price of fuel may drop as a result of governmental dysfunction. Half-full is good.

It often amazes me that we give any credibility to most of the news media (particularly electronic). All week we’ve been pummeled with the dire effects of government “shut down” on government employees. Now, the media is playing “Chicken Little” with the fact that government-run medical research centers are shut down for lack of funding. Well, if D.C. cops can work without pay to subdue and terminate unruly drivers, perhaps medical technicians could tend to their work as well. Oh, their union probably won’t let them volunteer. The D.C. cops aren’t union? And the furloughed government employees are being painted as “thrown to the wolves.” Correct: They’re not being paid --- right now. Eventually these people will most likely receive their back pay wages (with interest). And, let’s face it, they could be serving as volunteers to keep things running. Oh, that’s right, their union won’t allow it. Too bad about all those folks who sell souvenirs, bait, rent boats, give scenic rides and run comfort businesses near federal attractions. Federal aid will help the Jersey Boardwalk after the fire even though they obviously did not have a building code, sprinkler systems, or the firewalls required of most commercial establishments. Federal aid for those most devastated by the brats’ fight over play dough will never come. But then, the job of the media is to sell advertising. Preachin’ to the choir sells the ads. And a large portion of those media ads are from medical companies which developed wonder drugs independently of government research.

I’ve heard a lot of viewpoints on the current “shut down.” Whose fault? Why should the Republicans shut down the government because of Obamacare? It’s already a law. Well, so was prohibition. So was owning slaves. So was year-round daylight savings time and the 55 mph national speed limit.

There are those who do not remember (or choose not to) when the Democrats (in 2010 before newly elected Republicans could be seated) rammed the Affordable Healthcare Act through the Congress they then dominated. No one knew what was actually in the bill. Nancy Pelosi, in one of her more lucid moments (medical marijuana can ease the pain, but absolutely cannot cure stupidity) as then Speaker of the House urged legislators onward with, “We have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it.” (9 Mar 10) I am told that there is a treasury of “stupid Pelosi quotes” available online.

I have my own little saga of our tax dollars “at work.”

Back in June I sought to transfer the personalized plates on my ’31 Ford to Historical Plates; same logo. Sent in my forms, check (which was cashed two weeks later), and the retiring plates. In September, I get a notice that I have been denied. No refund. Phone call: “You’re number 29,” 72 minutes later, a human voice. Much government talk.

“You’ve been denied because the plate is already issued.”

Yea, to ME. “We don’t have the plates.” Call Highway Patrol, have them run the plates. See if that doesn’t match my name and address (extended pause). “Yes, sir, your request is being reviewed. You should receive your plates in seven to ten days.” Three weeks and counting.

The military just handed down a long overdue regulation on tattoos. No one in the military shall have a tattoo below the elbow or a tattoo below the knee or above the neck. Members who have tattoos there must have them removed.

I have a friend that has thirty or 40 tattoos on his body, and a grandson covered with tattoos. I have told them both they would make a beautiful lampshade.

Every day I see people with tattoos. Most recently I saw a person while standing in line at Wal-Mart with two new tattoos, one on each leg. Every time I see a tattoo I visualize what it would look like on a lampshade.

I can’t help myself. Let me explain.

We had just gotten off a troop train from Fort Riley, Kansas and were at Fort Lewis, Washington. The base commander, a Colonel, called us into formation and proceeded to give us a talk. He explained we would be at Fort Lewis at least two weeks waiting for a boat to take us over. He said we would get a pass and be able to go in to town (Tacoma) and that both sides of the street would be lined with tattoo parlors. He sternly said, “Do not get one”. He then proceeded to tell us about being in Europe in World War II and liberating a Nazi German concentration camp where they had used human skin, some with tattoos, to make lampshades.

RALLS COUNTY RECOLLECTIONS

A View From the Past “First Long Gravel road”

Courtesy of the Glasscock Family Society of the USA Submission for the Ralls County Recollections page: Page 152, Ralls County, Missouri by Goldena Roland Howard, 1980, gives the information on Northeast Missouri’s first long gravel road: “The Salt River Road, laid out in 1823 began at St. Charles and ran through Ralls County, to the mouth of the Des Moines River; it was made to open the area to settlers.”

McAfee’s Comment: This would be from St. Charles County, Missouri to around Alexandria, Missouri and/or Keokuk, Iowa.

This gravel road ran along/near the Mississippi River. The old road from Ashburn, Pike Co, MO to Busch, Pike Co, Mo., to old Fort Mason to Saverton to Camp Oka-Tippi to Cottonwood Point and thru Monkey Run (old Bluff Road) to Bluff St. in Hannibal to Front Street in Hannibal and Bridge St. at Hannibal and running to the Bay De Charles north of Hannibal and beyond to the Iowa border.

Local author has new book Karen Hunt recently released her book “EMPF: Archaeology Without A Shovel.”

Hunt is internationally known for using wires to map out archaeological sites, finding both prehistoric and historic structure patterns.

She shares 25 years of experience on how to find and map out these patterns, which are invisible to the naked eye, and how to use traditional methods of archaeology to verify what has been found.

Archaeologist Hunt has been excavating at the historic Quarles farmstead off and on for more than seven years trying to find artifacts, which would prove the existence of the structures Karen Hunt found when mapping the site in 1981. At the time no one in the area knew there was a house site at the location of the dig. The location of the house was found with wires in hand. The main house has been excavated and the south half of the large dog-trot log house described by Mark Twain has been reconstructed. In 1991,

Hunt purchased the site.

The book provides information on selecting and making a set of tools to be used in the field; using your tools to locate E-MP-F patterns; how to mark and define different types of patterns; how to map these patterns and how to verify the patterns found with traditional archaeological methods.

This book is approximately 152 pages with many illustrations. Books will cost $25 until Dec. 31. After Dec. 31 they cost $30.

Strode named RCEC District Representative

Dan Strode, manager of Ralls County Electric Cooperative, New London, was recently appointed as a district representative to the Executive Committee of the Association of Missouri Electric Cooperatives (AMEC), Jefferson City. AMEC is the service organization of the state’s 47 electric cooperatives, which serve more than 560,000 rural consumers.

As a member of the Executive Committee, Strode will have responsibility for developing the association’s annual work plan and budget and monitoring its operating policies.

The Executive Committee consists of 12 members and is chaired by the president of the AMEC state board of directors.

Having tasted chicken blood, his dog would want more and Skeeter didn’t know what to do. He grabbed her by the scruff of the neck and cuffed her hard. “Chicken-killer!” He spat out the verdict and she cringed from him. “No wonder Mister Cash didn’t want you running with his dog.” Lady slunk away from him and lay down and put her paws over her face and her eyes filled. “Chicken dog.” He walked over and sat down by her. “Ain’t you got any sense? Don’t you know that a chicken dog and a suck-egg dog ain’t nocount? Ain’t you got a lick of sense?” He was so exasperated that he felt like crying and yet he yearned to pet her, but that wouldn’t do at all. So he ordered her to follow him and they went deeper into the swamp and up toward the bayou and she stayed right at his heels until they were almost to the bayou and then she cut around in front of him and looked over her shoulder at him, and chuckled. And then, deliberately, she dashed away.

He was so surprised that he stood there for a minute and didn’t even call her. She ran toward the bayou and he got out his pocket knife and cut a heavy green switch and followed her. She was eating the water rat when he found her. There was no need to whip her because now he realized that she was not afraid of blows and cuffs.

She must be shamed and

and rubbed against his leg, begging him to help her and to take off the symbol and throw it away. He pushed her from him, shoving her aside with his foot and he, too, seemingly was without pity or even sympathy. She slunk away from both of them and went to Skeeter’s bed and leaped up on it and the boy went over and grabbed her by the scruff of her neck and jerked her off. “No rat dog sleeps in my bed,” he said bitterly. So she crawled under the bed and kept pawing at the thing, but it would not come off and she lay there sobbing her misery and notification; and was utterly alone because the old man and the boy sat down at the table and ate their supper and did not speak her name or even glance her way. Skeeter piled all the scraps into a pan and put it by the edge of the bed. She would not show her face, though, even for food and the boy turned his back to her without so much as a word and went to the front porch and got the water bucket and helped Uncle Jesse wash the dishes.

The old man put the lamp in the middle of the table and he and the boy sat down and looked at each other and Skeeter said, “Maybe she was hungry. Maybe that’s how come she did like she did.”

“Rat dog. Ain’t no two ways about it, you got a rat dog on your hands.” “Maybe she’ll learn better.”

so he threw the switch away and unraveled more of the rope and tied the dead rat around her neck. She pawed at the thing as she had at the other one and tried to shake it loose and, failing this, she looked up at him as though begging him to free her of this hated burden. “Got to wear it.” He drew the noose tighter around her neck and the dead rat was against her throat. “Can’t help if folks do see it and know you’re a rat-runner.” It was a badge she must wear even if it did reveal her weakness, even if it did disgrace her master; and it did—for all who saw it would know that Skeeter and Uncle Jesse had a nocount rat dog that might even sink low enough to chase chickens and suck eggs. It was time to go home because evening gloom was nigh and, yet, as weary as he was, the boy dreaded to go home. The first rat wasn’t so bad. His dog didn’t know any better then. But this one was different. She had done it a second time and that was a shame on her and a slur on him. The sun was far down behind the swamp when Skeeter walked into the cabin and Lady slunk in behind him and stood trembling by the door. Uncle Jesse was fixing supper and he glanced down at her and saw the rat around her neck and looked away quickly, for a man does not stare at shame. Skeeter said nothing and Uncle Jesse said nothing, and Lady crawled over to the old man

The Ralls County Herald-Enterprise

NEIGHBORS The Church at Ariel Judging When To Throw Food Out

The Natural Resources Defense Council and the Harvard Food Law and Policy Clinic recently released a study that says that each year Americans throw out as much as 40 percent of the country’s food supply, worth an estimated $165 billion, much of it as a result of confusion about the dates found on the product. Unfortunately, it is true that how products are dated in the US can be very confusing and can lead to unnecessary food waste. This also makes it very difficult for smallscale food producers and processors to know how to date their products.

On the other hand, food safety people such as me often tell consumers when considering a questionable food product, “If in doubt, throw it out.” How do we balance these two sides – reducing food waste, but also ensuring food safety? Hopefully, providing these key facts will help consumers protect themselves from potential food safety risks, but also not waste food unnecessarily.

1. The only food product on which expiration dates are federally regulated is infant formula. Therefore, you should NOT buy or use baby formula after its “use-by” date, for both safety and nutritional reasons.

2. Some states do require dating of some foods, but other than infant formula, there is no regulated dating system across the US. However, USDA does provide the following definitions for various terms used on food product labels: “Sell by” date: Tells the store how long to display the product for sale. You should buy the product before that date.

“Best if used by (or before)” date: Recommended for best flavor or quality. It is NOT a purchase or safety date.

“Use by” date: The last date recommended by the manufacturer for the use of the product while at peak quality. *Note that these dates generally refer to food quality, rather than safety. However, they can give a general idea of how long the food has been in the market.

3. The most important thing consumers can do to impact the length of time they can safely keep and use food is to handle it properly. This includes the following: If perishable, take the food home immediately after purchase and refrigerate it (at 40°F or below) within at least 2 hours. Freeze it if you can’t use it within USDA recommended refrigerated storage times.

• Note that once a perishable product is frozen, microbial growth stops, so it will be as safe as it was when it went into the freezer.

Store foods at the proper temperature and length of time. Do not leave perishable foods at room temperature for more than 2 hours. For example, if you know that a carton of milk has been sitting on the counter for more than 3 hours, throw it out.

Pastor Tim Sanders

Home Coming David writes in Psalm 26:4 – One thing I have desired of the Lord that I will seek, that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life.

Prayer – Lord, thank you for my good church home and all the things you share with me there. Amen

NL First Christian

Pastor Tom Day

Worship services at the New London First Christian Church on Oct. 6 opened with the choir singing “This Is the Day.” Members of the New London Second Christian Church worshiped with us today. Pastor Tom Day welcomed all and made announcements. Marilyn Lucas played “There’s Something about That Name” for the prelude. The call to worship and responsive reading followed.

The hymn of praise was “There’s Within My Heart a Melody” followed by the invocation and Lord’s Prayer said in unison. Pastor Day’s youth moment was “Ask God for Forgiveness.”

Joys and concerns were heard. Our joy was having Second Christian as our guests today. This was also “World Communion Sunday.” Prayers are asked for the families of Mildred Betz, Ellen (Alexander) Dorsey, Krista Yager Callaghan, the family of Mr. Hawkins of Quincy, and the family of Alfred (Al) Berhager. Pastoral and silent prayers and choral response followed.

The meditation and words of institution were given in preparation for Holy Communion. The communion hymn was “Seed Scattered and Sown.” Elder Gaylord Winders offered prayer. Serving were Bobbe Winders, Paula Holiday, Dave Jarman, Chris Misner, Robert Stevenson and Billie Frank Burton.

Offertory sentence, receiving of tithes and offerings, the doxology and the prayer of dedication followed.

Second Christian Church Choir sang two selections, “I Want to Be Ready” and “Search Me, Lord.” Marsha Mayfield was choir director. Talya Mayfield and Juanita Allison were soloists. God’s message today was delivered by Rev. Faye Vaughn as part of Reconciliation Sunday. The hymn of invitation, “Have Thine Own Way, Lord,” was followed by the benediction and postlude to close the services. A luncheon followed afterward.

Greeters were Barb Eddy and Becky Jarman. Clarence Lucas lit the candles. Bobbe Winders and Marilyn Oglesby prepared communion.

Today’s thought is, “Kindness is the chain by which society is bound together.” Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

Perry First Baptist Church

Int. Pastor Willis Jones

Church breakfast was served by Brian Meranda and prayer of thanks was given. Sunday school opened at 9:30 a.m. with prayer and announcements led by Meranda. The lesson was on The Power to Save, how can I best influence people to believe in Jesus for salvation?

Meranda opened church services with announcements, prayer and praise. Carol Billett and Jenny Johnson led music commencing with “Blessed Be the Name.” Offertory hymn was “Behold, What Manner of Love.” Servers Derek Meranda and Charlie Cole gave prayer. Interim Pastor Willis Jones led prayer for the lost. The message was given by Interim Pastor Jones from Galatians 1:6-18. Abraham believed God so God declared him righteous because of his faith. The real children of Abraham, then, are all those who put their faith in God. Each church has different concerns. Salvation is through Jesus Christ only. Ecclesiastes 3:1 – There is a time for everything, a season for every activity under heaven. All Christians that are undergoing persecution or a hard time because of your Christian beliefs, your time of persecution is only for a season, and that you will have ultimate victory through Jesus Christ. Kep the faith.

The invitation hymn was “Amazing Grace.” The Lord’s Supper was served by Charlie Cole and Brian Meranda.

There was a prayer of salvation and praise as we remember Jesus. “Blest Be the Tie That Binds” was the closing hymn.

Brent Johnson closed with prayer.

Church services are at 10:10 a.m. We are located at 509 Salling Street in Perry. All are welcome. Tuesday at 5:30 p.m. is exercise class and quilting class at 6:30.

2013 Boss Day ~ Happy Oct. 16 to Boss’s Everywhere!

It is a pleasure working for you “Al.”

HAPPY BOSS’S DAY! Billie, James, Frank and Darin

AL’S TIRE SERVICE Patricia Bays Haroski registered “National Boss’ Day” with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce in 1958. She was working as a secretary for State Farm Insurance Company in Deerfield, Illinois at the time and chose Oct. 16, which was her father’s birthday. She was working for her father at the time. Four years later, in 1962, Illinois Governor Otto Kerner backed Haroski’s registration and officially proclaimed the day.

Hallmark Cards did not offer a Boss’ Day card for sale until 1979. It increased the size of its National Boss’ Day line by 28 percent in 2007.

National Boss’s Day has become an international celebration in recent years and now is observed in countries such as Australia, India, South Africa, Ireland, and Egypt.

Egypt celebrates their equivalent holiday on Dec. 10 nevery year.
