Members of Ralls County Health Department take part in ALS Ice Bucket Challenge Members of the Ralls County Health Department took the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge Monday, August 25. The group has raised $100 in donations, raised by all employees.

They have issued a challenge to the Marion County Health Department, Ralls County Courthouse employees and RCEC employees.

According to the ALS Association, the Ice Bucket Challenge, sometimes called the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, is an activity involving dumping a bucket of ice water on someone’s head to promote awareness of the disease amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and encourage donations to research. It went viral on social media during July-August 2014. Many people participate for the ALS Association. The challenge dares nominated participants to be filmed having a bucket of ice water poured on their heads and then nominating others to do the same.

A common stipulation is that nominated participants have 24 hours to comply or forfeit by way of a larger charitable financial donation. Individuals are asked to donate $10 if they complete the challenge and $100 if not.

There is an article circulating the Internet that is filled with misinformation about where the Ice Bucket Challenge money goes. It is posted on a website called “Political Ears,” which is listed as a “satire website”.

Unfortunately, people are reading this article as fact. The ALS Association has received numerous phone calls from concerned people asking about information in the article even though it was recently debunked on Snopes.com, a website dedicated Those participating in the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge were Maekayla Wiler, Tanya Taylor, to exposing rumors and internet Kimberly Stout, Kim Keith, Mary Risner, Kathy Meyer, Carrie Fogle and Sara Parks. falsehoods.

Members of Ralls County 911 Board attend Sunshine Law training.

Missouri’s Sunshine Law is designed to make government in Missouri accessible to all of its citizens. On Tuesday evening, August 19, the Ralls County 9-1-1 Board had training on the Sunshine Law and how to make their board more effective. Those who attended were: President Bill Bowman, Secretary Beth Asbury, Treasurer Lowell Jackson, members Rich Adair, Jan Golian and Sandy Lanier as well as 9-11 Executive Director Mike Arnold. The training was provided by University of

Missouri Extension Specialists Joseph Koenen and Ashley Sturm, both of whom have had extensive experience with public boards. Koenen started by discussing the Missouri Sunshine Law in detail such as: how and where to post a meeting agenda, what agenda items can be closed to the public and under what circumstances, how minutes should be done, how long records are required to be maintained, how the public can access records and other issues. Sturm then followed up with

How to Hold an Effective Meeting, including how to get more accomplished, how time at a meeting is typically spent, what can be done to improve meetings, etc. Joe then discussed the Importance of Written Board Procedures and Personnel Policies such as what the laws (Fair Labor Standards Act, Family and Medical Leave Act, etc.) require, how the public can be put on an agenda and specifics related to that and the importance of having policies in writing so a board can be consistent with everyone. The board members asked lots of good questions and commented as to how beneficial the training was University of Missouri Extension does public board training in the Northeast Region every two or three years that is very similar to this one. It is designed to assist board members (new and experienced) to better serve in their roles and help them understand the resources that Extension can provide them in this area, including a new online board-training program.

VIEWS AND COMMENTS From the Editor

by Editor Carolyn Trower

FRUIT OF OUR LABOR

So, how was your Labor Day (weekend)? Isn’t it interesting that Labor Day comes approximately nine months after the Thanksgiving-thru-New Year’s Eve party event? I will guarantee you there is no such coincidence involving the Super Bowl.

Labor Day is the traditional end-of-summer.

Pools close. Previously it was the last fling of freedom before school started. FiveTimesFive in the QHW agreed with me this last Saturday that Pre-Labor Day school starts defy logic. Why school administrators seek to cram in a few early dismissals for “heat days” that involve the same bus fuel, driver pay, and cafeteria operation as a full day of learning should make taxpayers take notice.

Anyhow! Even though we must wait about another three weeks for the official end-of-summer, you can feel the season rapidly winding down.

Football is in the air, and already the first NFL scandal. Should athletic participants be entrusted to performance-enhancing stimulus prior to competing and herded immediately to anger management detox after the media cuts to commercial and endless analysis by professional usedto-be’s? Hey, just juice ‘em with “coke” before the game and use a tranquilizer gun as they come off the field and the coaches and owners will love it.

Not just limited to major universities, the NFL can profit as well. Gotta pay for those concussions somehow.

So, where does that leave parents who have physically fit progeny who would rather be physically active that devote their lives to video games, cyber bullying, and scarfing cholesterol to win a lifetime government subsidy for being obese, diabetic,

cardiovascular impaired and disabled?

Sometimes, the same parents who nurture their child’s desire to excel could stand to temper their involvement by watching the game. When I see a youth football player giving a hand-up to the opposing player they have just tackled, it tells me that the meaning of “sport” has found a good home unless somehow “grinched” by an adult in need of a “binky.”

Sport is a diversion, not an obsession. And, along the thought line of youth, there is a discussion of youth and firearms following the recent death of a range instructor. One point I hope everyone has realized from this incident is that firing ranges are not the same as a “fun park.” Any time “big bucks and inexperience” is thrown into reality, there is usually trouble.

“High dollar” skiers on a slope they’re not ready for, surfers risking the lives of life guards, a girl who had never held a firearm in her life riding the money to full-automatic.

So, now, another rehash of firearms. I am staunchly in favor of gun control. No one should be allowed to operate one unless they have been continuously trained and maintain a firm and controlled grip.

Both of my sons grew up in a house with loaded firearms; as did I. They were trained by a combat veteran; as was I. “If it is not your play gun, it is a real gun. You do not play with real guns.”

To my mind, there is a much more responsible approach to parenting, realized by introducing children to firearms and firearm safety early in life, than to submerse them in violent video games and expect restraint and respect to magically evolve.

Published Every Thursday at New London, Missouri rche@tds.net •rallshe.com

The seasons turn once again as Labor Day has passed and September claims its place as one of the most enjoyable months of the year. There is still plenty of green in the woods and lawns even as the fields of corn ripen and the stalks start to rattle in the wind. The air is still warm and the nights on the deck pleasant. The stars have been especially bright and the moon is gorgeous, huge and yellow, hanging heavy over the horizon.

This is a busy time of year. Many people, myself included, have spent the greater part of August canning and freezing the produce from gardens.

I finished the corn Sunday and now turn my eye

on the tomato vines and pepper plants.

Apples are a staple of fall and always bring memories of my mom’s apple pies. Every fall we traveled the curvy road outside of Palmyra to the orchard where she bought Jonathan apples for her pies. We filled the back of my Highlander with the white bags and the scent was intoxicating on the drive home.

Anticipation tempered the long hours of peeling, slicing and seasoning. Mom made pie crusts and lined the pans and I heaped in the apple slices, dotted with butter and sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar. I watched her place the top crust and quickly

MEMORY LOSS Cities have poor memories. Council members change, as do Mayors, and it doesn’t take long for none of them to remember an agreement that was passed just a few years prior.

Our family farm was located next to the city limits of Oak Grove. Council members encouraged my parents to annex in to the city

limits, and they would make sure we would get city water. Forty years later, if I relate this to one of our aldermen, he will always reply, “did you get that in writing?” Still no water.

The second time a sewer line went across our property, the city agreed to give us three free hook-ups and free usage in lieu of money for a

slice it to fit before her fingers expertly and rapidly pinched uniform edges on pie after pie. We put them in plastic freezer bags, made out labels for each one, and stacked them in the freezer.

Mom baked the pies for family dinners and the church events. Guests often left with frozen pies to take home. The smell of an apple pie baking always brings to mind Mom’s unspoken lessons on family and hospitality.

Of course September also means school. The kids have had a couple of weeks of classes so far and I have heard nothing but good things. The stands were full for Friday’s first home game and the win over our

neighbor down the road made a good night even better. It was great to see so many fans and especially so many families.

Youth football players lined the track and “little cheerleaders” rallied the stands. The band was energetic and melodic and helped the cheerleaders stoke the fires in the bleachers.

There’s plenty to do until the official start of autumn on September 23. Gardens, ball games, grandkids and school will fill the time. And every day I’ll relish the transition of seasons for the variety and beauty nature provides.

half-mile easement. We immediately hooked up the farmhouse, but when I had an opportunity to sell off some land, I went to the city for the other two hook-ups, and was asked, “Did you get that in writing?”

I am a nearly 60-year member of the American Legion Post 379. Our Post is located downtown Oak Grove in the business area. We rent out our “Legion Hall” for birthdays, wedding receptions, and other private parties to obtain the income for our many endeavors including American Legion baseball, Boy’s State, etc. Twenty years ago, the city eliminated curb parking in front of the Hall and agreed to fur-

nish off street parking behind the businesses on Broadway. Which they did, at a very minimal cost. A new Mayor was elected in April, and quit paying for the offstreet parking. When we tried to explain this was an agreement the businesses had on Broadway with the city, he wanted to know if we “had it in writing”. The only thing we get in writing at the Legion building or at my family farm is the tax bill.

If you have had an experience with a city’s memory loss, let me know.

OBAMA’S LEGACY To be perfectly honest, I have not had a lot of time to keep up with all of the news. It seems like every time I turn on the television, though, I am hearing about ISIS and all of the horrible things they are doing.

In 2012, I recommended everyone watch the movie “2016: Obama’s America”, if you did and you walked away scared about what the future held for our country and the world, then you know that the film pretty much hit the nail on the head.

I don’t believe that our nation has to get involved in every political skirmish that happens throughout the world. I understand that many American’s are war weary and don’t want to send troops to fight someone else’s battle. But, I believe that when ISIS beheads an American journalist and continues to torture and kill anyone in their path; it is time for America to step and the lead the

world in a major ISIS butt kicking. We don’t have to put boots on the ground; we can easily take care of this – with the help of our allies.

Our allies who are waiting for America to show the same leadership we have for the past seventy plus years. We are a super power for a reason.

The same goes for Russia and Putin. There are no easy answers on how to handle these situations. There are some really simple explanations as to how they came about.

Barack Obama turned on the vacuum. And if there is no leadership, no super power willing to step forth and demand that things actions stop or there will be consequences, then, like any two year old, the behavior will get worse.

President Obama has no card up his sleeve.

He has nothing to leverage against anyone in order to bring these actions and others to a halt. Some claim that he is still calling all of the shots from the golf

course. And maybe he is – his absence is noted and some say that golf is his problem, not ISIS or Putin. I believe he isn’t concerned about what is happening on the other side of the world. I watched 2016, I also read the book, which is so much more in depth than the movie – and the movie was scary enough.

We can only hope that the House and Senate are both controlled by Republican’s (who make me mad every day) so that they might step up and do something besides golf.

I am hoping most of those Republican’s are Tea Party candidates.

What will President Obama’s legacy be? I don’t know – I do know he won’t be known as the strong leader that George W. Bush was. I can only imagine what is going to happen in the next two years. I believe that 9/11 may be a small thing compared to what is possible. I hope nothing happens.

Although I love to say “I told you so”, this is one time, I would love to be wrong.

OBITUARIES/CHURCH NEWS South Fork Prestyterian Services Sunday, August 31 began with Patti Grimmett playing “Take My Life and Let It Be” on the piano followed

by Pastor John Grimmett leading in song to “Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah”, “Jesus Calls Us”, “Doxology”, “O Jesus, I Have Promised” and “More Love to Thee”.

Prayer began with the Responsive Reading, for Lea Halleman; Patty Landis; and Kelsey.

Patti played guitar and sang “Jesus, Draw Me Ever Nearer” for the morning special.

The Message “No More Excuses!” was based on scripture from Exodus 3-4:16 as God called Moses to lead the people out of Egypt and he had excuse after excuse and God got angry and did not take his excuses for an answer for Moses to do the job.

Moses, a man slow to speak, a murderer and not necessarily a good man - maybe a man just like you and me - not equipped. There are no

excuses not to follow the instructions of God. The source of power is GOD - “I AM THAT I AM” Why do churches grow? Because God uses people as an instrument!

What if I start calling and I am the one who is all things...? HE becomes all that we need in life!

God showed Moses that he could do miraculous things... He can do those same things for you God is calling you to sacrifice! Sacrifice of time, worship, study, leading...

Of your talent, time and treasury!

Patti played “I Have Decided to Follow Jesus” as all retired to Roth Hall for fellowship with coffee and donuts.

Services are held every Sunday at 9 a.m. and all are welcome to come hear the word of the Lord.

And God said unto Moses, “I Am That I Am:” and he said “Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I Am hath sent me unto you.”

Exodus 3:14

New Oakland Baptist Sunday, August 31, services began with Sunday school at 9:45 a.m. and morning worship at 11 a.m.

Rev. John Edwards was the guest pastor.

Wayne Zumwalt was the song leader and Louis Clark was pianist. Rev. Charles Grubb (ret.) gave the welcome and made announcements.

Wayne Zumwalt provided the special music, “One Pair of Hands.”

Congregational hymns were “Leaning on the Everlasting Arms,” There Is a Land that Is Fairer than Day,” and a special song by the church wor-

Pastor Grubb

ship group. “Softly and Tenderly” was the song of invitation.

Rev. John began his message with song, “Rodeo Preacher.” His message was from Joshua 3:1-5. Accept Jesus as your Lord. Follow God in all you may do. God will lead you always.

Read your Bible to find the answer to your questions. The Bible gives us signs for living our lives.

New Oakland would like to invite everyone to worship services each Sunday. The church is located off Rte. J, behind the Landing Water Park.

Perry Christian Church The worship service for the Perry Christian Church, Aug. 31, began with Cherie Provancha playing the introit “Gentle Shepherd”. The Reverend Jim Walker filled the pulpit. Greg Harrison led the Call to Worship.

The Center Olivet Christian Church will celebrate their church’s 100 years, Sept. 14, 2 p.m. Dedication service is followed by social hour. Sept. 7 the CWF will meet at 2 p.m., at the church. The 7th is also the birthday for Christia and Cheri Provancha.

The hymn of praise was “To God Be the Glory”. We were happy to have John and Wilene Asbury back in their pew. Floyd Seelow and Julie Fohey also had good reports.

“Breathe on Me, Breath of God” preceded the morning prayer with concerns for Mike Arrowwood, Kendrick family of Monroe City and the families of Carl Perry and Kenny Buckman. “Hear

Pastor John Grimmett

Pastor David Todd

Our Prayers” was the response.

The meditation was given by Pastor Walker before singing “Jesus Loves Me”. As we shared the Lord’s Supper Joyce Coleman and Greg Harrison served as elders. Deacons were LeeAnn Hetrick, Anthony Elam and Greg.

Alisha Eisele instructed the children on understanding the meaning when the bible teaches “taking up the cross of Jesus”.

Matthew 13:1-9, 13-23 was read by Ronnie Cragen as Pastor Walker delivered Part 2 of his sermon, “What Sort of Soil Are You?” We listen to God’s word but distractions and worries of this world can keep us from really hearing the words of God. “Almost Persuaded” was sung before the pastor’s benediction. Singing “God Be with You “ closed the service.

Jason Fleenor will bring next Sunday’s message.

The group rehearses a variety of secular and sacred choral music selections in preparation for its annual Christmas Concert, tentatively scheduled for December 7.

songs in a cappella and accompanied choral settings.

No Saturday or Sunday hours; closed for lunch 12 p.m. to 1 p.m.

Saturday, October 11, is the All Town Garage Sale and Library Book Sale Double Play

by Robert B Parker An astonishing creation – part novel, part history, part memory – from the Grand Master of Mystery.

It is 1947, the year Jackie Robertson breaks major-

league baseball’s color barrier by playing for the Brooklyn Dodgers – and changes the world. This is the story of that season, as told through the eyes of a difficult, brooding and wounded man named Joseph Burke. A veteran of World War II and a survivor of Guadalcanal, Burke is hired by Brooklyn Dodgers manager Branch Rickey to guard Robinson. While Burke shadows Robinson, a man of tremendous strength and character suddenly thrust into the media spotlight, the bodyguard must also face some hard truths of his own, in a world where the wrong associations can prove fatal.

A brilliant novel about a very real man, Double Play is a triumph: ingeniously crafted, rich with period detail, and resounding with the themes familiar to Parker’s readers – honor, duty, responsibility, and redemption.

Robert B. Parker is the author of more than 46 books. He lives in Boston.

Mark Twain Tigers win 32-19

After a long drought, the Mark Twain Tigers (1-1) are once again in the win column! The Tigers played outstanding defense and offense in defeating the Paris Coyotes 32-19, at home, on Friday night, August 29.

The Tigers shut down the vaunted Coyote passing attack with three in the box (on the line of scrimmage) and eight in the backfield. This defense held the Coyote passing attack to only 188 yards in the air and 40 yards on the ground.

The Tiger offense rushed for 341 yards and passed for another 34 yards for 375 of total offense. Tyler Elledge had a career night with four scores and two two-point conversions. Elledge had 268 yards of real estate on 30 carries and including return yardage accounted for 285 yards for the contest.

Paris scored first on a

short pass and added the extra point for a 7-0 lead.

Mark Twain pounded the rock first left and then right sandwiching Ethan Mack short passes to keep the defense honest.

Elledge hit the right side and behind his blockers raced 38 yards for his first score. He also ran through the defense for the two point conversion and the Tigers led 8-7 with 39 ticks left on the first quarter clock.

The teams traded possessions in the second quarter before Paris pushed in a one yard run.

After missing the extra point, Paris led 13-8 with 1:39 left in the half.

Mark Twain moved the ball downfield quickly, mixing a pass and runs, and after a curious ref call putting five seconds on the clock – Elledge took the ball, faked an inside run and hit the edge for a three yard score with a second left on the clock.

Elledge powered through the middle for the two point conversion and the Tigers led 16-13 at the half.

The Tigers and Coyotes went back and forth in the third quarter until the Tigers with 46 seconds left and at the Coyote 37 yard line had Elledge run around left end and scamper the 37 yards for his third score.

Ethan Mack kept the ball and muscled his way into the end zone for the two point conversion and a 24-13 Tiger lead.

Paris scored on a short run halfway through the final period but their conversion failed and they trailed 24-19. The Tigers held on to the ball moving downfield and not only closing on the Coyotes goal line but also taking valuable seconds off the clock. With a little less than three minutes remaining, Tyler Elledge took the ball from quar-

terback Ethan Mack, faked left and changed direction and behind solid blocking from his linemen jetted 36 yards through the defense and with 2:19 left on the clock crossed the goal line for his fourth score of the game. Trey Arndt added the two-point conversion for the final 32-19 score.

Defensively, Terry Monroe led the team in tackles followed by Brandon Hamilton, Elledge and Arndt. Taron Finnigan dragged down the Coyote quarterback in the backfield for a sack.

Ethan Mack had the team’s solo interception and Dalton Hill recovered the team’s only fumble.

Statistics Scoring: Tyler Elledge 38 yard run (Elledge two-point conversion run); Elledge 3 yard run (Elledge two-point conversion run); Elledge 37 yard run (Ethan Mack two-point conversion run); Elledge 36 yard run (Trey Arndt two-point conversion run).

Passing: Ethan Mack 3 completions in five attempts for 34 yards.

Receiving: Nick Dav-

(Top left) Tyler Elledge runs behind blockers for one of his four touchdowns. Elledge had 268 yards rushing and scored 4 touchdowns and 2 twopoint conversions for the contest.
