VOTERS ASKED TO MAKE PROSECUTING ATTORNEY FULL TIME POSITION On Tuesday, Aug. 5 the voters of Ralls County will be asked to make the office of the Prosecuting Attorney a full-time position.

The work load of the prosecuting attorney’s office has grown over recent year. In addition to the felony and misdemeanor case filings the office also handles citations and infractions issued by the Missouri State Highway Patrol, Sheriff ’s Department and Department of Conservation in Ralls County. Additional duties include Probation violation reviews, filings and hearings, compilation of annual forfeiture and seizure reports to the Missouri State auditor, bad check collection, representation of the Missouri Department of Revenue in drivers license suspension and/or re-

vocation cases involving Ralls County residents, release of evidence reviews, child fatality review board, planning and zoning matters, drafting, reviewing and interpreting County ordinances, review of County contracts and leases, and general legal opinions and advisement as requested by the County Commission.

One of the most important tasks of the prosecutor’s office is the crime victim notification, explanation of victim rights, assisting in crime victim compensation applications and collection and disbursement of restitution to crime victims.

Ralls County does not operate a jail or detention facility and as a result must house its inmates in facilities in nearby counties. According to the Ralls County Clerk’s office in 2013, Ralls County paid $377,240.28 to house its inmates.

Marion County handles most of Ralls

County inmates but inmates have also been housed in Pike, Lincoln, Audrain and Lewis Counties.

As of May 1, 2014, Ralls County had expended $194,697.77 to house its inmates making the projected board bill for 2014 $592,030.00. If the voters pass the proposition to make the Prosecuting Attorney a full-time position there are plans to curtail some of this expense. With the anticipated cooperation of the Court and law enforcement the current prosecutor, Rodney Rodenbaugh, will develop and implement a drug court program for Ralls County.

Drug court programs are time and labor intensive. Offenders in the program are not incarcerated and, if successfully completed, are released on probation. Roughly 30% of the felony and misdemeanor cases are exclusively drug and/or alcohol related. If only 30% of those offenders qualified for

Drug Court Ralls County could reduce projected board bills by $177,609.

The transition to a full-time prosecutor will cost the county an additional $88,224 a year. If only 15% qualified, a very conservative view, the county could save $88,804. The goal is not to cost the county money. The prosecutor’s office will work diligently to offset the increase in the prosecutor’s budget by reducing the board bill through drug court and other programs developed with the input and cooperation of the Court and law enforcement.

A full-time prosecutor also means that the Prosecuting Attorney cannot be affiliated with any other lawyer or law firm, engage in private practice of the law, or represent any individual, entity or political subdivision in any legal matter. A full-time prosecutor can only exercise the duties of prosecuting attorney for the county.

MAVERICK IS HIS NAME One of my favorite actors died last weekend.

James Garner seemed to always play the role of the “man (American) with a plan” and the rational intellect to make it work. From a bright career launch as the star of the TV series “Maverick,” (unlike with Tom Cruise, for this Maverick, nothing was deemed “difficult”) through costarring with the Silver Screen’s finest (and a lot of fledglings he helped find their wings), this Oklahoman carried the down-to-earth tradition of Will Rodgers into headlong confrontation with political correctness.

Watch any James Garner movie and you will observe a protagonist capable of subjecting his confrontant with such a bewildering deluge of simplicity that resistance is futile.

In the media tribute to his career and his passing, a sound bite from Mr. Garner acknowledged “The Americanization of Emily” (with Julie Andrews) as his favorite work. Interestingly, my favorite of his movies as well.

So well did I enjoy this movie, and Mr. Garner’s character portrayal, that when I was campaigning for Presiding Commissioner of Ralls County, I tried to set up an email site using Garner’s self-description of the commanding general’s aide. He referred to this character as “I’m a dog-robber.” (Meaning that whatever the general needed – he came up with.) When I tried to use “dog-robber” as an email address (implying that I would be a scavenger of assets available to Ralls County) the censor department of cybertronics (apparently having no exposure to videos that are not based on violent destruction, beating of the vulnerable, killing of police of-

ficers, or obtaining more weapons by blowing up more things/people), denied my request. Better that I should call myself the “Avenger” or the “Transformer,” rather than anything implying that I would break into a puppy mill and release the inmates.

On the plus side, we see the world we must deal with each day more closely resembling those whom the screen character of James Garner found easy prey.

On the minus side, fewer and fewer people indulge in thought process not generated electronically. (Okay, yes the brain does employ electrolysis. You can google that if you don’t remember sophomore biology.

Do they even teach biology anymore? It would be interesting to see how the dissection of a worm, a frog or a cat/rat would be made politically correct for animal activists or vegetarians.)

America has become so politically correct that it approaches wimpdom.

Americans go to another country; they play by that country’s rules.

Family of foreign diplomats accompany the diplomat to Washington: they play by their own rules. We can’t offend anyone. It wouldn’t be politically correct.

American troops in Muslim territory are not allowed alcoholic beverages. Same country; the Germans get beer in their rations. (By the way, after WWII, there was a huge influx of Germans into Argentina, from which their main source of nitrates for gunpowder had come. I wonder how many Argentinians were cheering in German during the World Cup. In the U.S. they would have had to speak Spanish.)

As we put another “free thinker” to rest, I will remember that I saw him eating a Hershey bar.

BEST CUSSER My dad was the best cusser I have ever known. If the milk inspector gave him a bad report, or if his combine broke down just before finishing a field, or if he hit his

nger with a hammer, as the expression was back then he would “cuss a blue streak”. He could cuss for several minutes and never repeat himself. Without realizing it, he naturally

Spent Saturday evening with the grandkids. After church we went to pick green beans in a friend’s garden. His generosity has allowed us and others to enjoy the fruits of his labor. As we picked we talked about which ones were big enough and which should be left to grow with the next rain. We picked some sweet corn and I told them how to check the tassels first. “Make sure the silk is brown,” I said. What is silk? Ah, a lesson in tactile as well as visual clues to ripening grain. They shucked the corn, putting the shucks in the bucket and adding the stalks from the spent broccoli plants, and took them to feed the lambs.

Sitting on the porch later I told them how I shelled peas with Grandma Berry when I was a

little girl. A faded memory of the very young, but I remember sitting under a tree in her yard and watching her veined hands push the peas out of the pod and catch them in her apron.

My mom taught me how to stem and snap green beans and shuck sweet corn. I dug potatoes with my dad and pulled beets and turnips.

We grew lettuce, radishes and onions for summer salads. Green peppers were picked, stuffed with hamburger and onions and frozen. I learned how to make pickles and green tomato dill. My mother canned at least 80 quarts of green beans and as many tomatoes for chili and vegetable soup in the winter. She put up most of the vegetables by cold packing them; I

don’t remember freezing any. We cut the corn from the cob and packed them in pint jars. Mom’s basement shelves were pretty with the green, yellow and green vegetables all in Mason jars. It wasn’t until I was growing my own garden and canning the bounty that I realized those rows of jars were much more than pretty.

I don’t have the garden anymore, but my son is taking steps to have one that would make Mom and Dad proud. I’m not sure how many vegetables will actually get canned but I want my daughterin-law and grandkids to know how it’s done. Right now I’m content to have them help with the picking and snapping and, of course, listening to my stories.

Members of the Ralls County Co-op: It is now annual meeting time and I urge you to attend to solicit answers to the terrible financial position of the Co-op.

What do I mean, we have the highest cost of any co-op that I have contacted (about 40%, of the co-ops in the state over the past 3 years). In addition, per the published financial statement (July 2014 Rural Missouri) for only current liabilities of $7,536,860 and long-term debt of $33,933,273, the total is $41,470,133, this is an increase of $4,367,894 over the same information for the previous year. This is your debt, or according to Director Foster’s information the previous year of 4,674 members, each of us has a debt of $8,873. Personally, I do not like anyone generating debt for me. If you agree, let the directors know.

Three years ago I advised the directors and Mr. Strode of my survey of 25% of the co-ops. That

RCEC was the most expensive and I did not believe that they were doing their job. Unbelievably, one director responded that they thought they were doing a good job.

Really? No director responded to the high rate we have, are they aware that they represent us?

Since that time (June 2013) Barry Hart, Executive Vice President, Association of Missouri Electric Co-ops, published in his monthly editorial, and I paraphrase – that the members are the owners and that the selection of the directors are our representatives. I suggest you read the article and determine if that is the way this co-op operates. I don’t think so. The nominating committee does not give us a choice to replace directors. Generally they only nominate the outgoing incumbents. How do we get a new voice on the Board? Are those director fees and provided health insurance so lucrative that no one new can break the clique?

Typically, when I have discussed our high rates, the standard answer is “We are a small co-op and have to pay more for electricity.” Maybe.

However, Atchison-Holt Rural Electric Co-op has less than 4,000 members, no rate increase for some time and none planned, provides electricity at 2 cents per KWH less than RCEC. (Based on 1,000 KWH usage their rate is $.131/KWH versus RCEC rate at $.151/KWH.) Significant difference is service availability charge, $15.50 versus $38.00.

Maybe we are too big!

I do have a suggestion for the Board. Show some backbone. Replace Mr. Strode with a good bankruptcy lawyer and get us out of this mess. Then as a group, get down on your knees and beg one of the larger bordering co-ops to absorb RCEC.

passed this ability on to me. Over the years, I was able to increase his cussing streak by adding a few choice words that he would never have been aware of. Many years ago, I was in Kapple’s beer joint in Bates City and gave a guy who had it coming a good cussing. Thirty years later, a guy I didn’t know came up to me and said, “You know, I will never forget you giving that guy a cussing in Bates City. It was one of the best cussings I have ever heard. And the fight that followed wasn’t too bad, either.”

I have often thought

on how I could capitalize on this ability and make some money. I would go in business and you could have me call whoever you wanted cussed out, a bill collector, a politician, or a relative. I keep in practice when I am going down the road by myself and a car pulls in front of me. Or, if I get a call from a bill collector from India, I give him some words he has never tried to translate.

One time a salesman was calling me up every night at the same time. I kept telling him I was not interested. I finally cut loose and let him have

it. He wound up winning, because every night at midnight, he would call my phone and there would be no one on the line. I finally ended it by reporting him to his company.

I am sure this business idea I have would not work. At my age, I would forget to dial *67 before making the call (restricted caller id), and I would have someone knocking on my door.

Corn and bean prices likely to drop

By Jason Vance, University of Missouri Extension The supply of corn is outracing the demand.

University of Missouri Extension agricultural economist David Reinbott told the 2014 Summer AgMarketing Outlook Conference that prices are likely to remain low, with projected record global corn crops. Ending stocks of corn are projected to be 190 million metric tons worldwide.

“I think that is really going to keep the lid on corn prices unless we see some production

problems either in South America or China,” Reinbott says. “We’ve got fairly good demand, but there is a lot of corn on the supply side.”

If corn prices rally on the futures market, farmers should start locking in prices, Reinbott says.

“If we see a bump back above $4, I would definitely price some corn, especially that grain you can’t store,” he says. “We’re probably going to trend this market lower, with December down at $3.50 or possibly $3.60.”

Soybean acres are up about 3.3 million, accord-

ing to USDA’s June report.

Reinbott says weather in July has been great for soybeans, but notes that August is the key month for soybean production, so it’s too soon to tell how this year’s crop will be. The other concern is weather in South America.

“You could build a very bearish scenario for all crops if South America has another big soybean crop on top of the big soybean crop it had this year,” Reinbott says. “It could really push these soybean prices quite a bit lower.”

As with corn, demand for soybeans is going up,

but not as fast as supply or production. With the potential for a big crop, farmers should be making some sales now, especially with any kind of rally in the $11 range, Reinbott says.

“The next level of support on the market is around $9, and there has been some talk about prices dipping below $8,” Reinbott says. “If I was a farmer, I’d be taking advantage and making some sales now. It probably wouldn’t be a bad idea.”

Beef price records continue; pork retail prices rising

By Jason Vance, University of Missouri Extension The situation for cattle producers is outstanding. That was the message University of Missouri Extension agricultural economist Ron Plain delivered during the 2014 Summer AgMarketing Outlook Conference.

“We have record cattle prices by big margins,” Plain says. “Each of the last four months have set new records and you can see a very strong upward trend.”

The number of cattle slaughtered is 5.7 percent lower than last year. Plain says the drop in cow and heifer slaughter has tightened up the beef supply, driving up prices. With high feeder cattle prices

and good pastures, producers are now looking to increase the breeding

herd, which eventually will bring prices down.

“The more cows we keep on the farm and the more heifers we save for breeding, the faster we will turn this cattle cycle,” Plain says. “But we are talking about cattle.

It takes a long time to change the breeding herd and turn that into more

calves and more slaughter.”

Estimated net return

on cow-calf production is $350. Plain says it is an outstanding time to own cattle and expects that to last for some time.

Meanwhile, the cost of hog production has dropped as the price of corn has come down.

Plain says breakeven on a live-weight basis in June was $56 per hundred-

weight. With record corn production expected, breakeven prices could move lower.

Like beef, pork retail prices have been setting new records for the past several months, breaking $4 per pound on average in May. Slaughter numbers for hogs will also be lower.

Plain says the driving factor is porcine epidemic diarrhea virus, which has killed around seven million pigs.

Plain says profitability has been very good in 2014 and he expects more than $100 per head profit in July and August. Based on the futures market for corn, bean meal and hogs, Plain says hogs should be profitable each month through the end of 2015.

A few quick budgeting tips from a Family Financial Education Specialist

By Wendy Brumbaugh, Shelby County Extension Wouldn’t it be nice if we could all have our own money tree? During the summer we could relax in its shade and in the fall we could “rake in the dough” for the winter and never have to worry about expenses. Unfortunately, no such tree has been found to exist. By maintaining a written budget, though, you can take control of your finances. All you need is a simple notebook and these easy steps.

List all of your current monthly expenses, and estimate how much you’ll need to earn. This is easier to do with fixed expenses such as a car payment and/or rent. For flexible expenses such as groceries and gas, one must estimate the amount.

Take action and analyze your spending.

Do you really know where all your money goes? Use a tracker or a small notebook and keep track of every penny you spend for one month. At the end of the month, total all the expenditures. You may be surprised that you overspend in at least one category. This al-

lows you the opportunity to make small changes in your spending habits and consequently have some money left over.

Are you able to pay for everything you need and save for what you want?

Try making a “needs list” to avoid impulse buying.

Decide what you need in advance and try waiting thirty days before making a purchase.

List all of your income and compare the expenses to the income.

If expenses outweigh the income, then adjustments are necessary. One has two choices – either lower the spending or increase the income. This may mean giving up a habit or getting a second job.

Don’t quit or give up.

Remember, a budget is simply a plan for spending and saving money, and like any other plan, it will only work if it is used.

For more information about budgeting call your local Extension office.

GERRY DINWIDDIE

“You call, we will respond”

Hon. Rachel Bringer Shepherd Judge 10th Circuit Court

Dear Ralls County Voter: As I have talked to so many of you over the past few weeks, questions have arisen about the following question: Shall the office of the Prosecuting Attorney be made a full-time position in Ralls County? ____Yes _____No Primarily, when would this take effect? And, why is it on the ballot this year?

First, if approved by the voters, the change to a full time prosecutor would become effective January 1, 2015.

Secondly, by state law (Section 56.363, RSMo), a county can only change to a full time prosecutor every four years. The change is tied to the election cycle of the prosecuting attorney. For instance, if we had decided to place the question on the ballot next year, upon approval, the change to a full time prosecutor would not occur until January 1, 2019. I believe that the time for a change is now and not 2019.

I would also like you to know that I am proud to be a part of the fourth generation of my family to live and work in Ralls County. My greatgrandfather was Eastern District Judge (Commissioner) in the early 1940s. At the time, it was customary for candidates for office to carry a campaign card. His card is framed and on the wall at my office in New London. I see this card just about every day and often think about his commitment to the county. I suspect that my great-grandfather held a county office to strengthen and move the county forward for his children and their children’s children, such as myself. I am just trying to do the same. And, so, I encourage you to vote yes for a full time prosecutor in Ralls County on August 5.

Sincerely, Rodney J. Rodenbaugh Ralls County Prosecuting Attorney Paid for by Rodney J. Rodenbaugh

NL Second Christian In the name of the Lord, we warmly welcome all visitors and newcomers to Second Christian Church. Sunday, July 20, worship service opened with prayer and congregational hymns. Sister Thelma Fugate welcomed everyone and read announcements. Elder Billie Burton offered our call to worship followed by our affirmation of faith.

Sister Marilyn Powell led responsive reading Commitment followed by celebration hymn What a Mighty God We Serve and Elder Ruthie Burton offering morning prayer.

Hymn of thanks, “Thank You, Lord” was followed by scripture, youth sharing and message. Sister Vickie Burton read Psalm 86:11-17, Camron read Genesis 1:1-4, Cayden read Psalm 1:1-6, Vernell read Ephesians 1:4-5, Re’Nayjah read Luke 1:12, Trenten read Genesis 12:1, Kanesha read Psalm 136:1-4, Amiion read Genesis 2:1, Precious read Psalm 23 and the Miller children sang, “You Didn’t Have To Love Me.” Rev. Vaughn offered the youth message, “God Does Not Change.” Rev. Vaughn began the message with a creature that crawls on the ground able to change its color. When in the grass it’s green, in the tree it’s brown, the youth responded it’s a chameleon.

God does not change and he has a purpose for all boys and girls, big and

small. Rev. Vaughn referenced Psalm 100:3 during the message. She asked the youth for the password “Thank You,” “The Ten Commandments and The Lord’s Prayer” were recited. In closing the youth sang, “Jesus Loves Me” under the direction of Sister Renata Burton.

The choir rendered three musical selections, “We Are Solders,” “Swing Low, Sweet Chariot” and “I Am On The Battlefield For My Lord,” under the direction of Sister Linda K. Burton.

Offertory hymn “Glory, Glory, Hallelujah” was followed by Elder Burton offering prayer and the doxology was sung.

The WORD, scripture text was from Genesis 2:1-3, the message Keeping Sabbath Time. God demonstrated that rest is appropriate and right. If God himself rested from this work, we should not be surprised that we also need rest. Jesus demonstrated this principle when he and his disciples left in a boat to get away from the crowds. Our times of rest refresh us for times of service.

The message was followed by hymn of invitation, communion hymn, closing hymn “God Has Smiled On Me” and the benediction.

“Rest your body and mind, have a relationship with God.”

The Church at Ariel Message, Try Jesus Ice Cream Social went well, good fellowship. We had several politicians come by and visit. Young ones played in the church yard and the old ones visited in the cool of the

COMMUNITY NEWS Perry Christian Church Into the forest came the worshippers at the Perry Christian Church, July 20 service. Vacation Bible School will begin at 6 p.m. tonight. Weird animals will greet the children as they join in all the festivities and bible study. The closing program will be on Thursday night and it promises to be a zinger.

“The Wonder of It All” was sung by Arlen Provancha to begin the service. Greg Harrison introduced Pastor Jim Walker, his wife, Shirley, son Nathan and guests from Moberly.

The call to worship was led by Pastor Walker. The hymn of praise was “I Can Only Imagine”.

“I Am Praying for You” was the prayer hymn. Greg called for concerns and gave the morning prayer. Lifted up in prayer were Kara Hansen, Dorothy Woodhurst, Mike Fierge, Jo Turnbough, Judy Biggers and the family of Barbara Shaw Foree. The response was “In My Life Lord, Be Glorified”.

Pastor Walker gave the invitation to share

the Lord’s Supper. Arlen and Greg served as elders. Deacons were David Lewellen, Nancy Seelow, Warren and LouAnn Hetrick.

“Heavenly Sunlight” was the special music sung by Arlen, with Cheri as pianist.

Alisha Eisele led the children’s moment, telling about having weeds in our lives as well as in the garden.

Matthew 13:24-30;3643 was read by David Lewellen for the pastor’s sermon, “What Sort of Seeds Does Satan Sow”. The church that has ‘weeds’ should not judge as growing together will make us stronger It’s not what I was yesterday, it’s what I can be tomorrow for God that counts.

“Trust and Obey” was the invitation hymn. We were dismissed with the benediction and singing “God Be with You”.

The Reverend Walker will be with us again next Sunday. We welcome everyone to our services each Sunday. Sunday School at 9:45 a.m. and Worship Service at 10:45 a.m.

South Fork Prestyterian The Sunday, July 20 service began with Debbie Carey playing “In the Garden”. The congregational hymns for the morning were “Higher Ground”, “Love Lifted Me”, “In the Sweet By and By”, and “God Will Take Care of You”. Prayers were asked for Max and Beth Tilt, Martha Hill’s brother, Arthur, Shirley Thornhill’s brother, Dorothy Woodhurst, Erion Bergman, Judy Biggers, Suzie McGee, and for our country and the world. Debbie sang a medley of “He” and “I Believe” for the special music and played “How Great Thou Art” for the offertory collected by Jim Beuter.

The message for the morning was entitled “Come Hell or High Water” based on scriptures from Matthew 13. Pastor John told of Jesus’ parable of the sower and how it relates to our lives today. The world is full of chaos and war. Denominations have disagreements as do neighbors. What is going to come of all this chaos. Jesus tells us through his parable of the sower. “The sower planted good seed but weeds grew along with the good crop. He told his workers not to pull the weeds as they might pull up some of the good along with the bad. Jesus explained the parable by saying that he who sows the good seed is the Son of man, the field is the world, and the good seed means the sons of the kingdom; the weeds are the sons of the evil one, and the enemy who sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the close of the age and the reapers are angels. Just as the weeds are gathered and burned with fire, so will it be at the close of the age. The Son of man will send his angels, and they will gather out of his kingdom all causes of

Pastor John Grimmett

sin and all evildoers, and throw them into the furnace of fire, there men will weep and gnash their teeth. Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father.” (Matthew 13:37-43) On the cross Jesus planted the seeds of the good news. He came into the world to confirm that there is heaven and angels. As we sow good seeds we turn around and see weeds that we want God to take care of. The world is a mixed up mess of good and bad. God knows about all the chaos in our world and he will take care of it. Maybe not today but he will take care of it.

The service closed with Debbie playing “Heaven Came Down and Glory Filled My Soul”. Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice, and let them say among the nations, “The LORD reigns!”

(1 Chronicles 16:31)
