A large crowd, many wearing green t-shirts reading “no need, no gain, no eminent domain, Block Grain Belt Express,” fills the theater in the Roland Fine Arts building on the H-LGU campus to participate in the Missouri Public Service Commission hearing Tuesday, August 12.

Over the past few months there has waged a battle for the public’s approval of a major power line transmission through eight Missouri counties.

On one hand Grain Belt Express Clean Line has inundated the mailboxes and op-ed pages with the benefits of the transmission line. On the other, there are the thousands of farmers and likeminded folk who have crowded meetings, written their own op-ed pieces and filled the corn rows with signs protesting the transmission towers in their fields and pastures.

Each of the eight counties has held numerous meetings with both sides presenting their case. Over the course of about a year the county commissioners of all eight counties have said no to the transmission lines. Some counties changed from an initial agreement to the rescinding of that permission when the voice of the county’s agriculture community grew too loud to ignore.

On Tuesday, August 12, the Missouri Public Service Commission held two public hearings in our area to allow public comments on Grain Belt Express

Clean Line’s application for a “Certificate of Convenience and Necessity.” The first meeting was held at 11 a.m. in Monroe County and the second was held at 5 p.m. for Ralls County. To allow for an anticipated capacity crowd the meeting was held at the Roland Fine Arts Theater at Hannibal-LaGrange University in Hannibal instead of the Multipurpose Room at Mark Twain High School in Center where previous meetings had been held.

VIEWS AND COMMENTS From the Editor

by Editor Carolyn Trower

IN A WORD

Dictionaries are most wonderful instruments to expand one’s general knowledge and vocabulary. I wonder if WalMart used the dictionary as a guide to route shoppers through exposure to countless other items of impulse interest as they seek their original quarry.

Unlike spellcheck (which will supply the correct spelling, but give no clue as to the word’s meaning or its relationship to the context of its use) or Google, etc., the information supplied is designed with simplicity and instant gratification for most.

Now, imagine you are entering this Big Box “WordMart.” It helps if you have a basic understanding of the alphabet to get to the section where your item of interest should be located. But, like Wal-Mart, you can always wait for the EXIT door to open and allow access.

Once inside, the Quest of the Grail begins in earnest, but in the dictionary, everything that catches your eye is free.

Now, let’s just say that you wanted to find the definition of the word “govern” to find out what it is all these people wanting you to vote them into spending your tax money (for a hefty compensation) are supposed to be doing.

“Is there a ‘G’?” There is one “G.” “I’d like to buy an ‘O’.” There is one “O.” Okay, we’re getting close. But, who would have thought they’d put “govern” where you have to go past “goa powder” (which was first used in Goa [a small region in SW India] c.1852 same as “Araroba,” whose explanation we find just below “Ararat,” a mountain near the Iranian/Armenian border, where Noah’s Ark supposedly landed; and discover it to be a bit-

ter yellow powder from a Brazilian tree trunk).

But we must still pass by “goat-herd” (which is a person who herds goats, and not a cluster of the animals); “Godiva” (who would later inspire Peter and Gordon to a hit record); and, of all things, “Google” (to look obliquely – to stare with bulging or wide-open eyes).

And, finally, the “blue light special” (oops, wrong store). Right there between “gov” (government) and “govt” (government), but before “gowk” (1. a cuckoo 2. A simpleton) we find (drum roll with a rim shot here) “govern” (to pilot, direct, guide).

If you’re not paying attention and run past “govern,” you’ll come shortly to “Gr” (1. Grecian 2.

Greece 3. Greek). All Greek to me and probably why it’s on the same page (which often, government is not).

To: “pilot,” “direct,” “guide.” 1. To exercise authority over…2. To influence…sway (to govern public opinion). Syn. – Govern…generally connotes as its purpose the maintenance of public order and …common welfare. Rule…signifies exercise of arbitrary or autocratic power.

So, while those who are empowered to govern are given the exercise or authority and offhandedly, given the use of “spin doctors” to sway public opinion, there is no provision for the use of arbitrary sanctions against the public as was the case during the sequester to prey upon the public’s welfare and thereby coerce an opinion.

With backpacks full of sani-wipes and markers, the next generation to be governed will greet next Tuesday head on. May the last word “zymurgy” add the yeast to make their thoughts and goals rise.

There was an auction nearby a week ago.

It was the old-fashioned kind where everything is pulled out on the lawn and placed on tables. The furniture was lined up in rows with plenty of room to walk and browse and still turn around to speak to the person who came up behind you. An older guy was sitting in the recliner, whether to stake his claim until the bidding got to that point or because he was just tired didn’t really matter.

I remember going to “house sales” when I was a kid. I loved looking through the boxes that were placed on the ground around the tables. You had to get down to paw through the assorted dishes, trinkets,

books and what-haveyou. I found many a treasured book in those boxes. Of course you had to buy the whole box to get the one you wanted.

The dishes were always displayed on the tables.

Beside them would be the pans and iron skillets and the stacks of kitchen linens. If you sewed there were always boxes or stacks of fabric, sewing notions and patterns.

Often there were knitting needles and yarn as well as embroidery hoops and thread.

I bought several pieces of old furniture for a few dollars. I still use the walnut piano stool that has glass balls clutched in claw feet that I bought at an auction in Center long ago. One of

ENJOY AND APPRECIATE I really enjoy and appreciate receiving letters. However, it is really a compliment to receive one from a fellow columnist, who is also a graduate of University of Missouri Journalism School. Lowell Newsom, Keytesville, who reads my column in the Moberly MonitorIndex: “Hello Jack, enjoy your columns. Just the right amount of length, and most often I agree with your principles.” He went on to ask

several other questions, and later sent me another e-mail stating he loved the cussing article.

I need to clarify the article about my dad being a good cusser. Unlike his son, he never cussed in public or cussed anyone out to their face. I doubt anyone else ever knew he ever said a profanity, including my mother and sister. I received the following e-mail from Bob Nance, who is the Executive Director of the Ex-

my heartbreaks was the piano I bought for fifty cents. Daddy had to explain that though it was a great deal, there was no room for a piano in our home. Another disappointment was the saber and its scabbard bought at an auction in rural Laddonia. Not yet in high school, I didn’t understand why Daddy thought it was not suitable for a young girl to have such a weapon. I only saw the embodiment of the blades I read about in stories about pirate raids and cavalry charges.

Fortunately Daddy always found a buyer for those “lost” treasures.

One of the most vivid memories is of an auction in Perry. A small

white house sat back in a wide lawn, shaded by tall trees, and surrounded by tables, boxes and furniture. I was older then and thought how sad it was that someone’s “home” was reduced to a yard full of furniture and scattered kitchenware.

Bidders included young people just starting out on their own and the curious collectors looking for that elusive missing item. A lot of people came just to see what was available. They stood in pairs and small groups talking and gossiping while the young children crawled under the makeshift tables made of plywood and sawhorses.

celsior Springs Chamber of Commerce and reads my article in the Excelsior Springs Standard: “I grew up on Wednesday night Volunteer firefighters meetings. My dad would take me from age 9-13. You talk about cussing, they were the best. It did not affect me much because I do not care to cuss because it doesn’t help the situation. Although, in my basic training in the military, you had to cuss to get someone to listen to what you had to say. I see you said your dad could cuss without repeating. I delivered groceries to a guy who would curse in every sentence and he wasn’t even ticked about anything. Terry could use the F-word as every part of speech (noun, verb, adjective, etc.) in the same sentence. What a talent! I enjoy your

writings.. Bob” I received an interesting letter that I hadn’t thought about from Leonard Stoll who reads my column in the Concordian: “Just read your article on “Got to Sell It”. I have a related thought. Isn’t it interesting the media is always working against an American industry, the ethanol industry. If they get that shut down won’t we be buying more oil and gas from terrorist in Iran,Iraq, etc. from terrorists who caused to 9/11 loss of lives in New York??? Isn’t that like buying Japanese cars?” Leonard Stoll, Corder.

his uncle, who expects Harry to join him at the shipyard once he’s left school. But then an unexpected gift wins him a scholarship to an exclusive boys’ school, and his life will never be the same again.

As he enters into adulthood, Harry finally learns how his father really died, but the awful truth only leads him to question, was he even his father? Is he the son of Arthur Clifton, a stevedore who spent his whole life on the docks, or the firstborn son of a scion of West Country society, whose family owns a shipping line?

This introductory novel in Archer’s ambitious series The Clifton Chronicles, includes a cast of colorful charac-

ters and takes us from the ravages of the Great War to the outbreak of the Second World War, when Harry must decide whether to take up a place at Oxford or join the navy and go to war with Hitler’s Germany. From the docks of workingclass England to the bustling streets of 1940 New York City, Only Time Will Tell takes readers on a journey through to future volumes, which will bring to life one hundred years of recent history to reveal a family story that neither the reader nor Harry Clifton himself could ever imagine.

Jeffrey Archer was educated at Oxford University. He has served five years in Britain’s House of Commons and nineteen years in the House of Lords. All of his novels and short story collections – including And Thereby Hangs a Tale, A Prisoner of Birth, and Kane & Abel – have been international bestsellers.

Archer is married with two sons and lives in London and Cambridge.

LOCAL HISTORY A View From the Past

“Yesteryears from the local papers” From the Perry Enterprise September 19, 1918 Air Plane at Perry Lieutenant Stanley G. Wright, of the Aviation Department of the Army, located at Scott Field, Bellville, Illinois, carried out his ambition in making a visit to his home in an air plane. Lieutenant Wright, in company with Lieutenant M. J. Moody, of Salt Lake City, Utah, left the aviation field at Scott Field at 10 o’clock Saturday morning arriving here at 12:30 o’clock.

They came over the east part of town, circling around out west of town and made a landing in Judge M. T. Gill’s meadow near Lick Creek Church.

The news of the airplane going to be at Perry spread like wind fire, and by ten or eleven o’clock people came in from every direction and went direct to Judge Gill’s farm and awaited the arrival.

Something like 1,500 people had gathered to receive Lieutenant Wright and his companion and amid cheers and tears a hearty greeting was extended to the home coming of one of our boys.

Lieutenant Wright was

not expecting such a reception by such a large number of friends and for a few moments after he alighted from the plane when relatives and friends crowded up to embrace and give him the glad hands he was very much affected and almost lost control of himself in emotion.

Lieutenant Wright announced that at 3:30 a flight would take place.

Long before the time people collected from miles around – extending into many of the towns surrounding. Three hundred and fifty cars were counted and the crowd estimated at 3,000. Three flights were made. Lieutenant Wright went up in the plane and circled around the crowd, town and six or eight miles out in the country. He exhibited the machine at height of a few hundred feet to 3,500 feet.

He had complete control of the plane, and made a number of stunts, sending a thrill through those who were attentively watching every maneuver. Lieutenant Wright and Moody made two other flights Sunday about noon in the presence of a large num-

ber of friends. They departed Sunday afternoon about 3:15 sending a message upon their arrival at Scott Field that they made the trip in an hour and fifty minutes. A large crowd assembled to bid them goodbye.

It is interesting and thrilling sight to see a large plane skimming along on the ground and raise up like a bird high into the air and sail around smoothly and easily.

This is quite a distinction and honor to one of our boys to come home to visit folks in an airplane.

Also quite an honor to a town. Perry is the first town in northeast Missouri to be visited by an army plane and us Perryites feel a little puffed up.

Lieutenants Wright and Moody traveled in a “Cross Country Plane” which was larger than many of the others used in field practice. The plane they used is a Curtis plane and motor valued at $8,000, weight 1,800 lbs, 8-cylinder, 90 horse power, 36 feet tipto-tip of wings, speed capacity 75 miles-perhour, with safety wings covered with Irish linen.

There are something like 80 planes at Scott Field and 125 flyers. Scott Field has 600 acres of ground, the buildings are painted white. The flyers practice stunts from 5,000 to 6,000 feet high and practice landing at 400 feet.

In coming to Perry they passed over East St. Louis, up the Mississippi River till in sight of Louisiana passing over Bowling Green and Curryville, in north of Vandalia, over Spencer Creek Church straight to Perry, traveling about 2,000 feet high most all the way. The distance covered about 175 miles, using 30 gallons of gasoline. The tank on the plane holds 47 gallons.

Lieutenant Wright entered into aviation service fourteen months ago at Kelly Field, Texas and has made rapid advancement. He was transferred to Austin, Texas, ground school for flyers and then to Scott Field, where he has been for four months.

On July 5, he was commissioned as Lieutenant in the Air Service Aeronautic. He will likely be sent south to a Field as an instructor.

plants and wildlife would be severely handicapped with a high voltage transmission line bisecting the property.

“We’re seeing a land grab of one business from another business,” said Parham.

“Clean Line thinks they can better use my property.”

Kenneth McCarthy from Frankford cited Clean Line’s laxness when notifying landowners, a complaint voiced often. “Clean Line’s main concern was to gain support of the county commissioners before gaining support of the land owners.”

Macy Rodenbaugh also criticized Clean Line’s lack of publication of the project, calling it “underhanded and shady.” He continued, “This is a private company wanting to make a profit with eminent domain. I hope this commission will stand up for the people and deny this request.”

Representative Jim Hansen received a standing ovation for his remarks. “I feel

our state has the resources to come up with solutions to implement renewable sources of energy. These solutions should originate in our state and be designed to benefit all citizens of Missouri. When we have a major project that crosses eight counties, it does not make sense to give up property rights for a project that originates in Kansas and ends with providing electricity for eastern states, without it being more beneficial to Missouri. Since this project does not have major benefits for Missouri, it is hard for me to rationalize why it should be granted the power of eminent domain.”

The Missouri Public Service Commission will meet in each of the other six affected counties. They will then meet with Grain Belt Express in November. The PSC will make a decision on the application based on the evidence presented. That decision would then be subject to appeal in court.

Representative Jim Hansen addresses the PSC members at the public hearing held Tuesday, August 12, at the H-LGU Roland Fine Arts building.

Public Service Commission... Continued from front transmission line that is designed to provide wind energy from western Kansas to utilities and customers in the eastern part of the United States. To do so, the lines must be transmitted over 250-foot towers lined across Missouri. Green Belt emphasizes that they “will deliver 350 megawatts of low-cost renewable clean energy to approximately 1.4 million customers.”

Opponents cite many disadvantages of this proposal: the loss of the easement ground in crop land; land impaired during construction and maintenance; loss of vegetation and habitat for hunting; land devaluation; and the fact that Clean Line is 40% owned by National Grid, a foreign-owned company. There have been allegations that the company plans to sell off the remaining 60% to other foreign-based companies. This is particularly upsetting for many landowners.

Callaway Livestock Center, Inc.

Another key point of dissention is the health concern. In previous meetings opponents have cited medical experts who testify that children living near these lines have a higher risk of developing cancer. Clean Line fired back with contradictory statements.

The meeting held Tuesday, August 12, at Hannibal was no different. The overwhelming majority of the speakers were representative of the “grassroots opposition” while a few, including two speakers for the Sierra Club, spoke out in favor of Clean Line’s proposed transmission lines.

Several land owners spoke about habitat destruction.

Louis Meyer spoke about the eagles and pelicans that are often seen on his land.

Austin Parham spoke about his family’s land and how they had worked to restore a savannah habitat for the past 20 years. Maintaining a delicate balance between the

CHURCH NEWS New Oakland Baptist Welcome, announcements, prayer requests, and the opening prayer were given by Brother Jack Watson. This Wednesday our WOM ladies will take a day trip to the Chance Rose Garden and museum in Centralia.

Next Sunday Rev. Al Groner will be giving our worship service message.

Sunday, August 17, at 1:30 p.m. services will be held at Monroe City Manor.

Tuesday, August 19, the regular monthly WOM meeting will be held at 1 p.m. Sunday, August 31, at 2 p.m. there will be a reception for Charles and June.

Special music this morning was performed

by Mr. Steve Cress. Congregation hymns were “At Calvary, Love Lifted Me,” and “Are You Washed in the Blood.” Brother John’s message today was on “Discouragement.” Scripture was from Nehemiah 4:10-14. We, in these current days, find ourselves feeling defeated, lonely and with no purpose.

Believe it or not, Satan is the cause. Back in Nehemiah’s’ time Jerusalem

was to be attacked. The people felt they could not survive. They lacked the faith and the confidence necessary to stand up and fight. Yes, fight. Protect your family. Help them to be strong in the Lord. In these times we, as Christians, are being tested.

We will be tested even more in the days ahead.

Those of us that know the Lord have a responsibility to spread the good news.

You are not alone. Read his word and hold it close.

Encourage everyone you know that they also can be happy and strong with Jesus by our side. God can do all things. In closing, Deuteronomy 32.2, Let my teaching fall like rain and my word settle like dew. God loves us. Serve Him in all ways and He will encourage, love, and speak to you.

We invite everyone to come and worship with us on Sundays at 9:45 a.m.

Sunday school and the Morning Worship Service at 11 a.m. We are located off Route J behind the Landing Water Park.

NL First Christian Our worship service on August 10 began with the choir singing “This is the Day” accompanied by Marilyn Lucas. CWF Circle III will meet August 14 at 1:30 p.m. Back to School Yard Sale and Festival of Unity will be held at New London Second Christian Church on August 16 from 8 a.m. till noon. Also on August 16, the Celebration of Grace will be held at Clemens Field in Hannibal from noon till 9 p.m All joined in the responsive call to worship followed by the hymn of praise, “Leaning On the Everlasting Arms”. Pastor Tom gave the invocation which was followed by the Lord’s prayer. The worship hymn today was “How Great Thou Art”. Those in our church family and community who are in need of prayer include Diane Glascock, Bud and Fern Arnold, Harry and Ruthie Musgrove, Morgan Taylor, Baby Nora, Suzanne Destifino, Kathy Strode, Michelle Dyer and all who were unable to worship with us today. Silent prayer and pastoral prayer followed. In preparation for the Lord’s supper, Pastor Tom gave the meditation and words of institution which were

Pastor Grubb

Pastor Tom Day

followed by the communion hymn “Sweet Hour of Prayer”. Serving at the Lord’s table today were Roger Stout, Bill Baker, Bobbe Winders and June Misner. Offering the elder’s prayer was Chris Misner.

Pastor Tom gave the offertory sentence, followed by the receiving of our tithes and offerings and the prayer of dedication. He chose scripture from the book of Acts-Chapter 12-verses 1-5. The message was entitled “Wild Praying”. While Peter was being kept in jail, the church never stopped praying to God for him. After the angel came and got Peter out of jail, he went to visit all of those who had prayed for him. They were amazed to see this person who had been bound by chains & was being guarded by soldiers. Once convinced, these people then shared this wild message with others and told of their amazing God who could do anything!

The hymn of invitation “Where He Leads Me” was followed by the benediction. We invite all of you to join with us each Sunday for our 11a.m. worship service here at Fourth and Church Streets.

South Fork Prestyterian The Sunday, Aug. 10 service began with Sharon Sweitzer playing “Brighten the Corner” for the prelude. Debbie Carey led in singing the hymns “Let the Lower Lights Be Burning”, “Leaning on the Everlasting Arms”, and “When We All Get to Heaven.” Debbie sang “What Faith Can Do” for the special music.

It was announced that the South Fork Cemetery fish fry will be Saturday, Aug. 16. Prayers were requested for Dorothy Woodhurst, Jerry Arends, Randy Davis and Max Tilt.

Craig Dawson filled the pulpit this morning while John and Patti are on vacation. His message, “A Step of Faith”, was from Matthew 14:22-23. We have four things from God in our lives. The first is resisting temptation. We are tempted to do things that take us off track. We are all tempted

by Satan throughout our lives. Jesus was tempted many times but was able to resist. Temptation can come through many different sources. Faith is demonstrated when we resist the temptations. The second is laboring against the wind. We have set a course for our lives and as we try to stay on course

Pastor John Grimmett

there are things that come up that make us labor against the wind. We are anxious because our world has become so fast paced and we want quick fixes. Young people aren’t used to laboring against the wind. They will either quit or go around the obstacle. We all need faith to stand up to the obstacle until we are back on course. The third is seeing God. How many times have you heard the voice of God tell us he’s right here and won’t let you fall. Jesus is with us daily. It is important that we look for God, see God and recognize his work in our lives. The fourth is a step of faith. Sometimes there’s no other way to go so we just have to take that step of faith. As long as you focus on Jesus you will be fine. A lot of times we have doubt and fear that keep us from taking that step of faith. We just have to give in and trust in God. We have to have faith, hope, belief and trust.

Kaylee Beckham collected the offering. The service closed with Sharon playing “In My Heart There Rings a Melody” for the postlude. “Everything is possible for him who believes.” Mark 9:23

Perry Christian Church The worship service of the Perry Christian Church on Aug. 10 began with Arlen Provancha singing “To God Be the Glory”. Our pastor for the day was Nancy Kellstrom.

Aug. 16 is fast approaching and is the date of the second annual golf tournament held at the Vandalia Country Club.

Volunteers need to be at the golf club at 7 a.m. for set up. There is still time to register to play and also to help. The August newsletter (News from Home) is now available.

“All Around the World” was sung in praise. The prayer hymn was “O Master, Let Me Walk With Thee”.

Pastor Kellstrom offered the morning prayer. Concerns were voiced for Lois Friday, Don Broyles and Robin Brady and other members of the Seelow family. The world problems were addressed seeking God’s help. “Let the Words of My Mouth” was the response.

The invitation to share in the Lord’s Supper was

Parallel to Hwy. 61 South, New London (across from Lion’s Club) • 573-985-3477

given by the pastor. “Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus” was sung. Joyce Coleman and Floyd Seelow gave the elders prayers. Deacons were LouAnn Hetrick, Greg Harrison, Tom Hurley and James Parker.

«In This Very Room» was sung by Arlen for the special music.

Jeannie Gay delivered the children’s moment by showing you can’t catch a ball if you don’t watch for it. Peter couldn’t walk on water as Jesus had because he lost faith and his focus on Jesus. .

Matthew 14:22-33 was read by Ronnie Cragen for the pastor’s message on “I’ve Got You”. When life problems surround us trusting in the Lord helps us overcome our fears. The Gospels tell us what we need to do and Jesus does for us what we cannot do. He is always there to catch us.

«Jesus, I Come» was the invitation hymn. The pastor gave the benediction and the service closed singing “Yesterday, Today, Forever.

Perry City Council The August 7 Perry City Council opened at 6 p.m. with a public hearing on the proposed property tax rates. There were no comments during this time.

Jesse Lewis spoke during the public forum, asking that the city check into trash that was left on the curb of rental property at 305 Hickory. He was told that the city would contact the landlord.

Kevin Flavell asked the council for a use variance for his property at 201 Netherland Street.

He wants to build a shed and has spoken to the Ambulance District about renting it. He was told the planning and zoning committee would have to meet first.

Brian Haeffner, area engineer from MoDOT, was present to discuss the possibility of the agency maintaining some of the right of way on Hwy. 154, Rte. J and Rte. D. MoDOT does not own the right of way within city limits.

City Attorney Joe Brannon said he would look into a maintenance agreement and bring it to the September meeting. He also reported that part of Rte. B would be closed for approximately two months so two bridges can be replaced.

The council then voted 4-0 to accept the proposed property tax rates.

The real estate tax rate was set at .5585 cents per $100 valuation. The personal property tax rate was set at .2997 per $100 valuation.

Mayor Dustin Wasson reported that the council decided not to hire either of the applicants for the part-time police officer position. Mayor Wasson appointed Center Police Chief Bill Mickels as a reserve officer for the City of Perry. The council approved the appointment unanimously. The council will advertise for a fulltime police officer.

Due to the absence of

Don Huff Mayor Wasson gave the superintendent’s report. Wasson reported that Huff ’s crew will remove two dead trees at city park. The timer for the city’s whistle is beyond repair and is too old to get a replacement. Wasson proposed that Huff get information on getting the whistle automated and the possibility of getting a whistle for the other side of town.

Two bids were received for repairs to Truck #5 from Lick Creek Service and McIntire Automotive.

After some discussion the council voted 3-0-1 to accept the bid from McIntire for $132.45 for the steering pump and $39.08 for the output seal. Councilman Jim McIntire abstained.

The council voted unanimously voted to purchase the needed chemicals for the sewer from Heartland Environmental for a total of $5905.74.

Mayor Wasson reported that the Fire Department would change locks on the firehouse and keys would be signed out to authorized personnel.

The need to raise the electrical rates was discussed under old business.

Mark Bross had given the council three options to review. After more discussion the council decided to go with Option 2 which called for a 19.64% increase. This would allow the city to meet electrical expenses and put some money in reserve. The council decided unanimously to raise the electric rates 10% October 1, 2014; 5% May 1, 2015; and 5% October 1, 2015.

The council voted unanimously to support the Trunk or Treat event in the Thompson Auto Parts parking lot on Halloween again this year.

The council adjourned at 6:55 p.m. and will meet again at 6 p.m. Tuesday, September 2.

2014 BACK TO SCHOOL Missouri Department Of Elementary & Secondary Education NCLB Complaint Procedures The Federal No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB), Title IX Part C. Sec. 9304(a)(3)(C) requires the Missouri Department of Elementary & Secondary Education (DESE) to adopt procedures for resolving complaints regarding operations of programs authorized under the Act, including Title I, Title II, Title III, Title IV (Part A), Title V, Title VI, and Title VII and Title IX, part C. Who May File a Complaint: Any local education agency (LEA), consortium of LEAs, organization, parent, teacher, or member of the public may file a complaint.

Definition of a Complaint: There are both formal and informal complaint procedures. A formal complaint must be a written, signed statement that includes: 1. An allegation that a federal statute or regulation applicable to the state educational agency (SEA) or a local education agency (LEA) program has been violated, 2. Facts, including documentary evidence that supports the allegation, and 3. The specific require-

ment, statute, or regulation being violated.

Alternatives for Filing Complaints: It is federal and state intent that complaints are resolved at a level nearest the LEA as possible. As described below, formal complaints filed with the SEA will be forwarded to the appropriate LEA for investigation and resolution. Informal complaints made to the SEA will be subject of an initial investigation by the SEA, but will be forwarded to the LEA if a formal complaint evolves.

Precise processes in both instances are described below.

Informal and Formal Complaints Received by the Local Education Agency: Informal and formal complaints filed with the LEA concerning NCLB program operations in that LEA are to be investigated and resolved by the LEA according to locally developed procedures, when at all possible. Such procedures will provide for: 1. Disseminating procedures to the LEA school board, 2. Central filing of procedures within the district, 3. Addressing informal

complaints in a prompt and courteous manner, 4. Notifying the SEA within 15 days of receipt of written complaints, 5. Timely investigating and processing of complaints within 30 days, with an additional 30 days if exceptional conditions exist, 6. Disseminating complaint findings and resolutions to all parties to the complaint and the LEA school board. Such findings and resolutions also shall be available to parents, teachers and other members of the general public, provided by the LEA, free of charge, if requested, and 7. Appealing to the Missouri Department of Elementary & Secondary Education within 15 days Appeals to the Missouri Department of Elementary & Secondary Education will be processed according to the procedures outlined in sections below.

Informal Complaints Received by the SEA Office: Informal complaints (i.e., verbal and/or anonymous) to the SEA by individuals (who may ask not to be identified to the LEA) concerning program operations in an LEA will be investigated by the SEA, according to procedures deemed most appropriate by the SEA, within 10 days of receipt of the complaint. Findings of this investigation shall be reported to the complainant within 10 additional days. In the event that the complainant requests further investigation or a hearing, the complainant must file a signed written complaint.

This formal complaint will be processed according to procedures outlined in sections below.

Formal Complaints Initially Received by the SEA Office 1. Record. Upon receipt of a written complaint, a record of the source and nature of the complaint, including the applicable program involved in the complaint, statute violated and facts on which the complaint is based, will be initiated.

2. Notification of LEA. Within 15 days of receipt of the complaint, a written communication

will notify the district superintendent and the district NCLB coordinator of the complaint filed with the SEA. Upon receipt of the communication, the LEA will initiate its complaint procedures as set forth above. If the complaint is that an LEA is not providing equitable services to private school children, it also will be filed with the U.S. Secretary of Education.

3. Report by LEA. Within 20 days of receipt of the complaint, the LEA will advise the SEA of the status of the complaint resolution proceedings and, at the end of 30 days, will submit a written summary of the LEA investigation and complaint resolution. This report is considered public record and may be made available to parents, teachers, and other members of the general public. A copy of this procedure also will be filed with the U.S. Secretary of Education, if it involves equity of services to private school children.

4. Verification. Within ten days of receipt of the written summary of a complaint resolution, the DESE office will verify the resolution of the complaint through an on-site visit, letter or telephone call(s). Verification will include direct contact with the complainant. If the complaint is about equity of services to private school children, the U.S. Secretary of Education shall also be given copies of all related communications.

Appeals: Appeal to the SEA 1. Record. Upon receipt of a written appeal to a complaint unresolved at the LEA level, a record of the source and nature of the complaint, including the applicable program involved in the complaint, statute violated and facts on which the complaint is based, will be initiated.

2. I n v e s t i g a t i o n .

The SEA will initiate an investigation within 10 days, which will be concluded within 30 days from receipt of the appeal. Such investigation may include a site visit if the SEA determines that an on-site investigation is necessary. By stipulation of all concerned, this

investigation may be continued beyond the 30-day limit.

3. Hearing. If required by the SEA, or formally requested by parties to the complaint, this investigation will include an evidentiary hearing(s) before an SEA Division Director acting as chairperson and designated staff personnel. Conduct of such hearings will follow the procedures outlined in state rules. The hearing proceedings shall be tape recorded and the recording preserved for preparation of any transcript required on appeal.

Decision: Within 10 days of conclusion of the investigation and/or evidentiary hearing(s), the SEA will render a decision detailing the reasons for its decision and transmitting this decision to the LEA, the complainant, and the district school board. Recommendations and details of the decision are to be implemented within 15 days of the decision being given to the LEA. This 15-day implementation period may be extended at the discretion of the SEA Division Director. The complainant or the LEA may appeal the decision of the SEA. Formal LEA Complaints Against SEA 1. Record. The SEA will record the source, and nature of the complaint, including the applicable program involved in the complaint, statue violated and facts on which the complaint is based.

2. Decision. The SEA decision will be rendered within 15 days of the complaint receipt. The LEA will be promptly notified of the SEA’s decision.

Procedures under the “Appeal to the State Agen-

cy Review Board” section will be followed.

4. Second Appeal. An applicant has the right to appeal the decision of the SEA Review Board to the U.S. Secretary of Education. The applicant shall file written notice of the appeal with the Secretary within 20 days after the applicant has been notified by the SEA of its decision.

Complaints Against LEAs Received from the United States Department of Education 1. Complaints against LEAs received from the U.S. Department of Education will be processed as though they had been received initially at the SEA. 2. A report of final disposition of the complaint will be filed with the U.S. Department of Education.

3. These procedures shall not prevent the SEA from partially or wholly interrupting funding of any LEA IASA program or taking any other action it deems appropriate.

Procedure Dissemination 1. This procedure will be disseminated to all interested parties through the agency webpage at http://dese.mo.gov and to subscribers to the Federal Programs listserv.

2. This guidance will be distributed through regional and statewide meetings with Federal Programs Coordinators. LEAs are asked to incorporate the elements of the complaint procedure into their own policies and procedures.

3. DESE will also keep records of any complaints filed through this policy.

2014 BACK TO SCHOOL Important Cafeteria Facts

Breakfast The Ralls County Schools will offer a breakfast program for students again this school year. Elementary breakfasts are $.90, Jr/Sr High breakfasts are $1.00 and Adult breakfasts are $1.75. Reduced breakfasts are $.30. Extra milk is $.35.

Lunches The elementary lunches are $1.40 and Jr/Sr High lunches are $1.75. Adult lunches are $2.50. Reduced price lunches are $.40. Extra milk is $.35.

The students at Mark Twain Jr/Sr High will use a fingerprint scan to purchase a breakfast or lunch.

How Do Mark Twain Students Pay for Lunch and The Snack Bar? Each student’s name and relevant information concerning whether he/she is on full-pay, reduced-pay, or free meals will be listed on a data-based computer software program. Students on free lunches will not have to deposit money unless they may want to purchase extra milk or an extra lunch. However, for students on full-pay or reduced-price meals, they must bring money to be deposited in their “credit account.” Money needs to be brought to school the first day and deposited in their account. This money will then be used for cafeteria lunches. The snack bar will be “cash only”. If you are purchasing a hot lunch, this amount will be debited from your lunch account. If you prefer to eat at the snack bar, you will need to have the cash.

THERE WILL BE NO CHARGING. In order for this system to work efficiently, each student planning to eat will need money in their account.

Local education officials have adopted the following family-­‐size income criteria for determining eligibility: Household Maximum Household Income Maximum Household Income Size Eligible for Free Meals Eligible for Reduced Price Meals

Annually Monthly Weekly Annually Monthly Weekly 1 $15,171 $1,265 $292 $21,590 $1,800 $416 2 20,449 1,705 394 29,101 2,426 560 3 25,727 2,144 495 36,612 3,051 705 4 31,005 2,584 597 44,123 3,677 849 5 36,283 3,024 698 51,634 4,303 993 6 41,561 3,464 800 59,145 4,929 1,138 7 46,839 3,904 901 66,656 5,555 1,282 8 52,117 4,344 1,003 74,167 6,181 1,427 Each add’l

member + 5,278 + 440 + 102 + 7,511 + 626 + 145

Children from families whose current income is at or below those shown are eligible for free or reduced price meals.

Applications are available at the school office. To apply, fill out a Free and Reduced Price School Meals Family Application and return it to the school. The information provided on the application is confidential and will be used only for the purpose of determining eligibility. Applications may be submitted any time during the school year. A complete application is required as a condition of eligibility. A complete application includes: (1) household income from all sources or Food Stamp/Temporary Assistance case number, (2) names of all household members, and (3) the signature and last four digits of social security number or indication of no social security number of adult household member signing the application. School officials may verify current income at any time during the school year.

Foster children may be eligible regardless of the income of the household with whom they reside.

If a family member becomes unemployed or if family size changes, the family should contact the school to file a new application. Such changes may make the children of the family eligible for these benefits.

Under the provisions of the policy, the building principals will review the applications and determine eligibility. If a parent is dissatisfied with the ruling of the determining official, they may wish to discuss the decision with the hearing official on an informal basis or he/she may make a request either orally or in writing to Deanette Jarman, Superintendent.

Hearing procedures are outlined in the policy. A complete copy of the policy is on file in each school and in the central office where any interested party may review it.

Landowners: Now Is the Perfect Time To Consider A Property Sale Mud drips off the fender of his F-150 pickup as he turns onto the asphalt highway. His camo cap is soaked with sweat from walking the lines of a Ralls County farm with the property owner. It’s another day at the office for Aaron Bennett.

It’s Bennett’s favorite time of year. Now is the time when deer hunters all over North America think about hunting season and finding a place to hunt. Many choose Missouri and that’s why Bennett is excited.

He and the other Land Specialists at Whitetail Properties are the industry leaders for selling recreational hunting land in the Midwest. As Bennett canvasses his territory – which includes Lincoln, Pike, Ralls, Marion, Shelby, Monroe, Randolph, and Chariton counties – he knows his next phone call could be a future Missouri landowner.

Bennett has a simple message for farmers and other property owners in his territory.

“Missouri land is in de-

mand,” says Bennett. “Our state has become one of the top destinations for hunters and sportsmen.

Many of the landowners in our area don’t realize the true market value of their property and that’s where I come in. I’m here to help farmers and other landowners capitalize on the current market.”

Bennett is quick to point out that he isn’t your average real estate agent and Whitetail Properties is not an average company.

“As a national real estate company, Whitetail Properties has built a nationwide network of buyers and sellers whose supreme interests are hunting, farm and ranch land – it’s our specialty,” says Bennett.

Since its founding in 2007, Whitetail Properties has exploded into North America’s top place to buy and sell recreational hunting, ranch and farm land.

This fact was cemented in 2013 with more than $320 million in sales and being named one of “America’s

Best Brokerages” by The Land Report. Whitetail Properties has expanded operations into 20 states and counting enlisting a staff of hard-working, knowledgeable and passionate Land Specialists.

The team currently averages a farm sold every day throughout the year.

Whitetail Properties reaches more than 31 million households with Whitetail Properties TV, an award–winning show

JUVENILES SEASON ENDS

on The Sportsman Channel that showcases the benefits of owning recreational real estate.

COMMUNITY NEWS

Subscriber Rural Weekly Added to LCP Newspaper Portfolio Lewis County Press, LLC, announces the acquisition of The Vedette of Greenfield, Missouri, a paid-weekly newspaper, and The Lake Stockton Shopper. Both publications serve Dade County in southwestern Missouri.

The Vedette is Lewis County Press’ 8th newspaper acquisition in the past four years; the company continues to seek additional papers to expand its portfolio of rural, subscriber-based weekly newspapers.

Marlene DeClue, Editor and General Manager, will continue to lead The Vedette as Editor and Publisher. Lavinia Thornhill and Cletis McConnell will also continue in their roles at the paper.

Together, they will continue the paper’s focus on community journalism and local advertisers and will maintain a web presence for Dade County residents at www.GreenfieldVedette. com “I am excited to be part of a growing group of community-focused newspapers who have invested in the technology needed for us to marry our small town news with residents who are local information consumers of print, mobile and high-speed Internet,” DeClue said. “No one in our community should notice any differences at first; any changes will be evolutionary and not revolutionary.”

Payne Schoen, Lewis County Press Chief Operating Officer, said the news company looked forward to additional acquisitions, including two additional newspapers that are under letter of intent and a pipeline of other potential deals.

“We are happy to add Marlene to our team of community newspaper leaders,” Schoen said.

“Lewis County Press takes on the hassles of newspaper

production – the technology, the billing, the subscription management – and we count on the local newspaper leaders to deliver the special sauce of community news and advertising.”
