On Sunday, September 14, the congregation of Olivet Christian of Center will hold a special service at 2 p.m celebrating the 100th Anniversary of their church building. In honor of the occasion a time capsule created at their fiftieth anniversary in 1964 will be opened followed by refreshments and fellowship.

The public is invited.

“I’ve been here nineteen years, grown a lot of strong friendships-this is a nice friendly church--a lot of concerns and a lot of things have happened in those years and we’ve come together and we’ve worked through the problems and and we’ve celebrated the things worth celebrating. We try to do the things the Lord

asks us to do. Small town ways, small town church, little things may turn into good things,” says Pastor Drew Sutor of Olivet Christian Church as their Centennial Celebration approaches.

It’s an institution in this small town.

As Barbara Hibb says, “I was raised in this church. It means family to me – it means security. It’s the center of the community.”

Many setbacks have occurred in the history of Olivet Christian. According to a history compiled by Mrs. Wallace (Phylicia) Hart, the original structure, known as a Big House, was located five miles north of Center, had a split log floor (a step up from the usual packed

dirt floor,) and “benches made of split logs with four sticks driven into the bark side. It’s said the women had the benches on their side smoothed.”

Fire destroyed the Big House in 1848 and a brick building constructed north of Center served as church and school until it was sold in 1871.

A 40’ x 60’ home for Olivet Christian at what is now known as Olivet Cemetery became the next home for the congregation in 1873, and the name Olivet Christian became official. This building was later moved to Center and dedicated

GARDEN TRACTOR PULL HELD 12th Annual Perry Summer Shootout Garden Tractor Pull held Sept. 6 If you came through Perry on Saturday, Sept. 6 you knew there was something going on. The Bill Trower Memorial Park was packed with trailers and pickups. Drivers were busy getting their tractors to the dirt track for the 12th Annual Perry Summer Shootout Garden Tractor Pull. The pull was started by the Jaspering family and after the death of Amanda Jaspering became a memorial to her love of the sport. The proceeds are used to fund a scholarship in Amanda’s name for a student at Mark Twain High School each year.

An opening prayer and the “Star Spangled Banner,” sung by Kennedy Jaspering and Madison Perry, got the event off to a start. Russell Flick addressed a record crowd, telling them the event was the largest in the state and that the 2014 event was the largest in Perry to date. The stands quickly filled and many people sat on blankets and in chairs on the grassy bank on the southwest side of the track.

The pull started with the kids 900-pound stock class with 12 entries. There were 16 classes in all and the tractors roared and pulled from 5 p.m. until well into the early hours of Sunday morning. With names like

Trophy winners in the Kids 900-pound stock class were, left to right, Cash Rochob, Brady Roland, Bristol Sharp, Justin Jaspering, Bryson Regot and Ayden Sharp.

“Blue Thunder,” “Goin’ for Broke,” “Controlled Chaos,” and “Irish Eyes” the crowd knew there were some determined drivers giving all they had for the win. The event had dozens of sponsors and the Perry Area Chamber

of Commerce provided a food stand.

An event like this is a testament to the goodwill and generosity of the Perry community which anticipates an even bigger event next year.

VIEWS AND COMMENTS From the Editor

by Editor Carolyn Trower

OH, YES, THOSE WERE THE DAYS

A few cool nights; a dryness in the air; noticeably more leaves in the yard. (They’ll find the gutters, just give ‘em time.

Yes, yet another season is about to bring variety to our lives.

If you look past the oxymoron that the only constant is change, there’s little doubt that our lives are generally less tedious when marinated in a tangy, yet subtle, basting.

Not all of it makes you feel good, and if you pay attention to the aftertaste, you may well rethink your menu.

In the debate over the value of higher education, expenditure vs reward is under scrutiny.

Many with expensive student loans leeching what income they can grovel from minimum-income employment (Servers are not eligible for minimum wage because they “get tips.”) are earning around $2000 a year more than the average high school grad.

Has brick-and-mortar 13th grade gone the way of land line phones, desk top PC’s, and those old things where you could see the music go round and round and come out here? At least not for those who can market their athletic prowess to fill stadium seats, attract media coverage, and otherwise contribute to financial harvesting for their soonto-be Alma Mater. Some will graduate to become sports legends. Some will be less-than-legend, but get a lucrative contract to fill the awkward moments between actual sports action and commercials with their insightful interpretation about what happened/what should have happened.

Apparently, the freeride to these individuals is much more important than a full scholarship to some student merely wanting to study bio-med

or technical engineering related to astro-physics and space exploration.

And what of the poor soul who just wants to receive young minds and help them get a foothold on the education ladder.

Yeah, we need teachers a lot more than we need sports commentators.

And, the next question would be, “Are the current ‘higher education’ curriculums providing the training prospective teachers are mortgaging their lives to obtain, providing graduates with the complex skills demanded by parameters of the students’ expected performance?”

You can’t expect a 20th century “higher education” curriculum with a dated faculty to produce 21st century educators who are charged with helping their students to world-class comprehension.

And, back to the original question, is it better to have a master’s degree from a major school and be earning minimum wage because no one is hiring your degree or have a high school diploma or GED and be making union-scale working construction?

In the past, the higher education environment did contribute greatly to social and work environment interaction skills.

Now, many degrees stick the recipient in a cubical or face-first with some sort of electronic screen.

Most any on-line course can accentuate keyboarding skills and very possibly introduce the student to cuttingedge information, not tangled in the ivy of the resident prof ’s lecture.

Each season leads us into a new experience.

The frost that wilts the ivy makes way for new growth. And lets us think of all the great things we will do.

What a beautiful weekend! The weather was that glorious blend of warm days and cool nights. It was a perfect time for overdue yard work and visiting with family.

Friday night’s football game was a lesson in loyalty as fans on both sides wielded umbrellas and jackets to fend off the wind and rain. The initial rain before the game held off for most of the game, but in the final four minutes the heavens opened and the Tigers ran their plays in a downpour.

I spent Saturday evening watching in fascination and apprehension as the youngest pullers competed in the garden tractor pull held in Perry’s park. Some of them were

only in Kindergarten.

Their faces in the picture taken with their trophies says it all; they sparkled with fearless bravado and innocence at the same time.

Sunday afternoon was spent celebrating with extended family at a fish fry.

Excellent food, children’s laughter and spirited competition with bean bags made it a great time.

The clouds kept cloaking the stars and moon whenever I looked to the sky. This was the weekend of the third Super Moon of the year and each night when I looked I couldn’t see it, just the orange glow that seeped around the edges of the clouds. I don’t like to have my stargazing sabotaged by ran-

dom acts of weather.

In between the short bursts of working on flower beds and frenzied attempts at housework, I did some paper work.

Typing the articles and downloading pictures goes a little faster with Jimmy Buffet in the background, although it did remind me it’s been years since I took a vacation.

Now that autumn is ready to make her official appearance emphasis shifts from flowers and festivals to the school’s sporting seasons. I never really know what I’m watching when I shoot football games. I just hold my breath until everyone who hits the ground gets back up. Softball is better. Without the pileups

MODERATES CAN’T WIN

Last week, Hillary Clinton gave a speech and stated that climate change is the biggest threat to the United States right now. I have tried really hard to find some kind of evidence to back this statement up. I like to give people the benefit of the doubt. But when I watch the news, unless Al Gore pops up, I just don’t hear much about climate change.

Hillary has said recently that she will announce her intentions after the first of the year.

I wonder why she is waiting so long. Is she still really on the fence about running for President or is she waiting to see how the Republican race is shaping up?

I wonder how many people can tell you what Hillary’s political platform is. Everyone can tell you that she is Bill’s wife and Chelsea’s mom. Most can tell you she was Secretary of State for President Obama, but who can tell you what she would like to do for our country?

Ben Carson. I will keep saying this name until he states definitively that he will not run for president. This is a man I would encourage EVERYONE to do some research on. He isn’t affiliated with either party and claims to be an independent. He may be the best bet for our country. Some people like Rand Paul, others- Ted Cruz and let’s not forget Marco Rubio.

All of these men are well liked by the American public. Do your research on each and every one of them. Don’t wait for the media to tell you about them – find out what you want and need to know on your own.

Every one of the people I have mentioned here are not moderates – in either party. They either lean far to the left or far to the right. I don’t believe a moderate will win in 2016 – I think it will be a “whatever” wing radical. Mitt Romney tried to walk the middle of the road and lost a lot of independent votes in 2012.

Most of those votes didn’t go to Obama – they just didn’t vote.

The funny thing about

I can see what’s going on, sometimes to the point of disagreeing with the umpire’s call. I love to see the bleachers full of blue and white and to hear the cheers. If the enthusiasm of the younger students and the players is contagious, then I might have the energy needed to finish my to-do list before the snow flies.

And speaking of snow, I read where the Farmers Almanac is predicting heavier than normal snowfall for much of the Midwest. Not what I wanted to know; when it comes to weather I’d just as soon not know what’s coming. For now, I’d rather bask in autumn’s glow and enjoy the whimsy of the season.

2012 is – if anyone took the time to go back and watch the debates over, they would see how right Mitt was and wonder what in the world we were thinking re-electing the man in the Oval Office right now.

Everyone wants better for themselves and their families. The problem in America today is that there are two very different ideas on how to get better. One involves hard work and dedication – with little government interference and the other promotes dependency on the government. Our nation was founded on the former idea, not the latter.

That is another topic entirely, maybe sometime soon. Everyone needs to take some time and have a little history lesson. It is time for us to remember where we came from and what our Founding Fathers believed in.

Letter To The Editor Dear Editor, I can normally find things to agree with in From The Other Side.

In the Sept. 4 issue of the Herald Enterprise, I could only agree with the first sentence: “To be perfectly honest, I have not had a lot of time to keep up with all of the news.”

To keep up with the news you must expand your horizons beyond Fox News, right wing talk radio and movies and books produced by conservatives with an agenda. When you recommended the book and movie, you should also have recommended the AP Fact Check article by Beth Fouhy, which finds many of the movie claims false. I suggest that you add to your reading the Washington Post opinions page ( free with two emails a day that take you directly to columns both conservative and liberal), New York Times (10 free columns per month ), and there are others such as the Christian Sci-

ence Monitor, Bloomberg News, AP, PBS News, NBC News, ABC News and CBS News. When you focus only on sources that support your ideology you end up as surprised as Fox News was on election night 2012. I saw that train wreck coming because I look at all of these sources including Fox News and used the Fox News electoral count page to predict 315 electoral votes. I was wrong; it was 332.

Regarding your thoughts on Obama, I suggest that you put this column away until 2022, when we will have the first inkling of what his legacy will be. I agree that we need to take action against ISIS as soon as possible, but action taken before we are sure who we are bombing could lead to more problems. We need to separate ISIS from Iraq Sunni Muslims, who are by in large not yet radicalized.

I find your interpretation of George W. Bush’s

100th Anniversary in 1892. This building burned down after being struck by lightning on August 13, 2012.

Construction of the current building began on August 18, 1913 with the Roland Brothers of Center as contractor and foreman. It is said they copied the plans of an Elsberry church the church members admired and adapted the plans to accommodate

legacy as simply ludicrous: Asleep at the switch on 9-11, with little or no knowledge of Osama bin Laden. He was focused on “star wars” defense system. Cheney immediately blamed Iraq.

Rightly attacked Afghanistan, but was so focused on a second war of choice little was accomplished in Afghanistan leaving Osama bin Laden to be cleaned up

by Obama.

Tax cut weighted in favor of the wealthy leaving no levers to pull to get the economy back on track after the debacle of the 2008 financial meltdown.

Entered the War of Choice in Iraq to find weapons of mass destruction which did not exist.

It still appears that the intelligence was manipulated. Further, on the eve of the war, UN inspectors begged for more time to find the weapons. Bush started the war anyway leading to continued in-

stability in the middleeast to this day and several hundred thousand deaths and injuries.

Big proponent of democracy in the middleeast where people have no history of governing in this manner. Elections in the Gaza Strip brought Hamas to power and there is still no democracy in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Is it any wonder that he has retreated to his Texas ranch and taken up painting?

Please, a Conservative’s Point of View should be based on fact!

If you want to talk about a President with a legacy, focus on George H. W. Bush, who demonstrated how to fight a war of necessity and at the same time promoted financial stability that propped up the Reagan legacy and gave Bill Clinton a solid economy for his 8 years in office.

the available plot. Total cost for the building was $12,670.22. It was dedicated on June 14, 1914.

The current church is a showcase of beautiful architecture and stained glass windows including the Booster Girl window funded by young girls who collected a combined total of $200 donations.

Today Olivet Christian consists of a dedicat-

ed membership like Lisa Peterson who says, “It’s a family, that’s been there many many times when I needed support and care of any kind. Anytime you’ve got a problem or trouble they’re here for you. Just God’s friends.”

Reverend Sutor estimates the average attendance at about 45 parishioners a week, but they’re a dedicated group. Life long member

Mary Palmer Lane says “My whole family attended, my parents, me, my brothers and sisters.”

And to LaRita Poage, “This church has been the center of my life from the very beginning. I’ve been in this church all my life. This is my home church. This is where I worship the Lord. “ Olivet Christian has had 27 ministers and 23 organists since 1914.

LOOKING BACK A View From the Past

“Yesteryears from the local papers”

From the Files of the Ralls County Record Aug. 30, 1962 BOWERY CHAPERONE Back in the late 1960’s, Bill McCoy, who was a close friend and business partner, and I were trying to market an insurance policy to a nationwide association with headquarters in New York. We made several trips there. Bill’s sister, Mona Lee worked for TWA in New York and lived in the Gramercy Park area. Our first trip to New York we stayed at the Gramercy Park Hotel near his sister’s apartment.

That first night, Bill and I met a couple of guys from Iowa who told us about a “hot” nightclub that naturally we had to check out. The taxicab dumped us out and turned his light off as he sped away. That should have told us something. It was about 1:30 a.m. When we walked up to the door, it was locked. The place was closed. We couldn’t find another taxi, so we started walking at a fast pace down the middle of the street where we saw a light about a halfmile away that looked like a business of some kind. The problem was getting there. There were old brownstone apartments on both sides of the street and people were

standing and sitting in the doorways on this hot summer night.

Pretty soon a couple of guys started following us. One of them grabbed hold of my coattail and said, “Gimme your money, white boy.” I told McCoy “Get ready to run, because I’m going to turn around and let him have it.” Just as I turned around to hit the guy, he wasn’t there. And neither was anyone in the doorways. I looked and there was a policeman on a horse, who had just come out of a side street. He chewed us out when he found out where we were from, but he followed us to the All Night Café.

The next morning when we told Mona Lee, she informed us we were in the Bowery and it was one of the roughest areas in New York. She told us she felt responsible for our safety and we were not to leave the hotel and night without first checking in with her. Can you beat that? Thirty years old in New York City and we had to have a chaperone.

OBITUARIES/CHURCH NEWS New Oakland Baptist Guest Pastor for the Sept. 7 morning was Jeremy Wallace. His message for this morning was from Matthew 28:16-20.

Known to us as “The Great Commission”. This instruction was given to the Apostles, to be taught to those who followed them, to do in His absence after He (Jesus) ascended. Matthew 28:18-20, “And Jesus came and spoke to them saying, “All authority has been given to ME, in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.

Deacon Jack Watson led the opening welcome, announcements and

prayer requests. Special worship music was by Wayne, Trudi Louis and Steve.

Congregational praise and worship was led by our “New Oakland Worship team”.

We are very glad you were with us this past Sunday morning to glorify, praise and hear the Word.

May you experience the joy and peace of Jesus as we worshipped together and each of us throughout the week. May your heart acknowledge Jesus as Lord and your faith be strengthened for daily living.

Our Sunday school is at 9:45 a.m. - 10:45 a.m. Sunday morning worship service is at 11 a.m. Our location is off Route J behind the Landing Water Park on Oakland Road. Come join us this Sunday, you’re sure WELCOME.

The Church at Ariel A Baseball Sermon Paul writes young Timothy-also anyone who competes in athletics is not crowned unless he competes according to the rules.

In this life we will all have our time when we step up to the plate and face the things the devil pitches at us. Many a time it will seem that we can’t get a hit, or that we are about to strike out. Fast balls whizz past us like hornets smacking into white oak trees strike one, strike two, and we start to

get rattled. Now the baseball player may pound the bat on the plate and spit in the dirt and act unconcerned. But the believer only needs to remember the word which says – do not cast away your confidence which has great reward. For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God you may receive the promise.

Hold fast – Don’t swing at nothing that ain’t right.

You may just walk the winning run in. Many of the saints have.

South Fork Prestyterian The Sunday, Sept. 7 services at South Fork Presbyterian church began with Patti Grimmett playing “It Is Well With My Soul” followed by the congregation singing the call to worship, “How Great Thou Art,” and the hymns for the morning, “Trust and Obey,” and “Fight the Good Fight” led by Debbie Carey.

Prayer concerns are for Beth Tilt’s brother-in-law, for Arla Eisenhower as she travels back to Florida and for the world situation and our leaders. Venita shared a joy, a new great granddaughter.

Debbie Carey sang “Blessings” by Laura Story for the special music.

The morning message “Out of the Frying Pan and Into …” was based on scripture from Exodus 5, the story of deliverance. Moses tries to walk with the Lord and trust in the Lord but things just get worse. Moses tells God he hasn’t rescued his people because Pharaoh won’t let them go. God tells Moses to ask Pharaoh again. Through persistence and trust in the Lord, Moses was able to deliver his people.

stick with it. Walk persistently with God. If we persist things will come to pass. We need to take the love of Jesus and put it into action in the world. God is just asking us to stick with it and keep going when we run into apathy and opposition. We must persist through faith. Jesus is not dead - He lives and is coming back. When he returns he wants to see people walking faithfully with the Lord.

She was born January 24, 1933 in Clinton, Ill., the daughter of Harley Alonzo and Fern Catherine Miller Welch. She was married to William Allen Bowes and he preceded her in death.

Survivors include: one son, Keith Allen Bowes of Indianapolis, Ind.; one brother, Harley Alonzo Welch, Jr. of Muenster, Ind.; and several nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her parents and four sisters, Jane Zimmerman, Idela Mounts, Bonnie

Mers and Audrey Welch.

Mrs. Bowes was a graduate of Clinton Community High School and worked as an alteration seamstress for Marshall Fields in Dayton, Ohio for many years. She was Christian by faith.

Graveside services were held at 10 a.m., Monday, Sept. 8, at South Fork Cemetery with Reverend John Grimmett officiating. Arrangements are under the direction of Bienhoff Funeral Home.

Memorial contributions may be made to the South Fork Cemetery.

Online condolences may be made at www.bienhofffuneralhome.com.

Perry Christian Church The Perry Christian Church worship hour for Sept. 7 began with Arlen Provancha singing “Open My Eyes That I May See”. Jason Fleenor was minister for the day, and will be next Sunday, Sept. 14.

The CWF will meet at 2 p.m. today the stewardship committee will meet next Sunday after church.

“What Faith Can Do” was sung in praise. There were good reports for several on our prayer list.

The prayer hymn was “Til the Storm Passes By”.

Included in the morning prayer were Joy Whitaker, Kay Ragon, Mike Fierge, Mike Arrowood and Randy Davis. Sympathy is for the family of Bridgett Kendrick. Travel prayers are sent with Arlen and his family.

“Come, We that Love the Lord” was the communion hymn. Elders were Greg Harrison and Shirley Levings. Eunice Fisher, Carol Norman, David Lewellen and Chris Johnson served as dea-

cons.

For the music special, Caitlyn Provancha sang “This Is My Land” as Grandpa Arlen accompanied on the guitar.

Jeannie Gay taught the children to think about what Jesus would want when they make their decisions.

Matthew 3:1-3 was read by LouAnn Hetrick for the pastor’s sermon on “The Path Through the Wilderness”. John the Baptist and his message will still be true for today. That message is to “repent” and remembering the scripture ‘that God so loved the world He sent His Son’. Worrying about God’s will and being a Christian should be our focus.

The invitation and benediction was given by Jason. “Jesus is Calling” was sung, closing with “Nothing But the Blood”.

We welcome everyone to our services each Sunday. Sunday School at 9:45 a.m. and Worship Service at 10:45 a.m.

MaMa’s Journey Don’t think of her as gone awayher journey’s just begun life holds so many facetsthis earth is only one.

Just think of her as resting from the sorrows and the tears in a place of warmth and comfort where there are no days or years.

Think how she must be wishing that we could know today how nothing but our sadness can really go away.

And think of her as living in the “Many” hearts she touched for nothing loved is ever lost and she was loved so much...

We as a family would like to thank everyone who has touched or lives these past few months. The prayers, calls, meals, hugs, cards, and just the simple “I am thinking of you.” You can not know how it has touched our hearts. We all have a large hole in our heart with the loss our “MaMa” but we rejoice in knowing that she is in Heaven saving a place for all of us.

Center City Council Report The Center City Council met in regular session at 6 p.m., on Wednesday, Sept. 3, in city hall. In attendance were Mayor Dennis McMillen; Aldermen Branten Ingram, Jim Gaw, John Lake and Shawn Couch; City Clerk Tracey Carman; Police Chief Bill Mickels; Jim Calhoun; Carolyn Trower with the RCHE; and Center resident Ron Hall.

Ron Hall addressed the council regarding a letter he received telling him he had to move or license the unlicensed vehicles and a derelict houseboat on his property. “I don’t think you can force a man to license a truck that sets on his own property,” Hall said. “That boat’s not bothering nobody! It’s on my property!”

Hall also claimed the city had no right to make laws of their own. City Attorney Joe Brannon informed Hall that if he did not comply with the ordinance he would receive a summons and Hall could take it to court.

The council approved unanimously to allow Mayor McMillen to sign the contract with A Civil Group regarding wastewater improvements.

After some discussion a motion to codify the city’s ordinances with General Code at a cost of up to $6,500.00 was passed 3-1 with Alderman Lake casting the negative vote.

Three manholes need to be replaced at a cost of $5,512.00. Carman

was asked to get a bid for having other manholes relined. Wastewater operator Darren Berry had suggested contacting Ace Pipecleaning for the work.

The council told Jim Calhoun to spray the grass at the Center Apartments with weed killer so the city won’t have to mow any more. The owner of the property is not maintaining it and the property was condemned earlier this year.

There was discussion of purchasing two properties whose owners owe several years of back taxes so that the city could include them in a demolition grant. The council decided to have the properties inspected.

There were no residents present at the public hearing on the 2014 tax rate prior to the council meeting. A motion to set the general fund rate at .748% for 2014 was passed unanimously.

A motion to set the 2014 sewer use rate at $440.00 for residential users was passed unanimously. This is a 10% increase. Commercial rates will also increase 10%.

Center resident Stephanie Black requested that a sign be placed across the undeveloped portion of N. Foster Street next to her property to prevent traffic on that portion of city property. A motion to post the sign passed unanimously.

The meeting adjourned at 7:02 p.m.

Special Tribute Honor Flight for Vietnam Veterans announced A $45,000 gift from the Veterans United Foundation will fund a special Central Missouri Honor Flight for Vietnam War veterans on Wednesday, Oct. 8.

Area Vietnam War veterans, some on a waiting list since 2009, will be treated to a very special Yellow Ribbon Honor Flight that will take them to Washington D.C. for the day on a unique mission.

“We are tremendously grateful to the Veterans United Foundation for answering our call for assistance,” CMHF president Mary Paulsell says.

Vietnam War veterans will be invited to participate on the Yellow Ribbon mission in the order in which they applied to Central Missouri Honor Flight. The flight will be filled by veterans whose names are currently on the extensive waiting list.

A mission to the Vietnam War memorial is a unique opportunity to give back, Paulsell adds.

For some, a trip to The Wall is part of a healing process for veterans now in their late 60s and early 70s who have been waiting to see their memorial and, in many cases, to see the names engraved on The Wall of those were left behind in that bloody and costly engagement.

Following the completion of the Yellow Ribbon Mission on Oct. 8, Central Missouri Honor Flight will resume its historic Honor Flights that offer an opportunity for veterans of WWII, the Korean War and the Vietnam War to make the journey to Washington together, which has been the case on the

last two Central Missouri Honor Flights.

“Our first priority will always be the veterans of WWII, due to their advancing age and the fact that their memorial was not completed until late 2004,” Paulsell says. “Following our WWII veterans, we have been honored to give next priority to veterans of the Korean War – often called The Forgotten War – for their heroic service during that conflict in the early 1950s.

Then we will continue to fill the flights with Vietnam War veterans. The unique combination of the three generations of service members who share common memories and discuss the changes in military engagements through the years are like a traveling time capsule of military history that continually teaches us that although equipment and strategies of engagement may have changed through the years, the heroism and commitment of our military service members has not.

One group stands on the shoulders of the generation before, and their sharing is special, unique and truly inspirational.”

Veterans United Home Loans and its employees strive to serve those who served our country.

Each day is devoted to helping veterans achieve the American dream of homeownership, and sometimes helping veterans obtain that dream involves more than home

loans—sometimes it involves helping veterans see the memorials built to honor their service to our country.

Veterans United Foundation is supported entirely by the employees of Veterans United Home Loans. The foundation is committed to enhancing the lives of veterans and military families nationwide, by supporting nonprofit organizations that strengthen local communities and honor the sacrifices of those who served our country. It also provides individual donations to current and former military members in need. Learn more at EnhanceLives.com.

The Oct. 8 Yellow Ribbon Mission will include 70-75 Vietnam War veterans already on the CMHF waiting list, supported by 35-40 volunteer guardians and staff. However, the Honor Flight touches thousands of people through family, friends and communities of each veteran who participates.

The true number of people served is impossible to quantify, but the impact is enormous.

Central Missouri Honor Flight believes – and Veterans United agrees – that the Yellow Ribbon Mission will bring some long overdue attention and gratitude to the veterans of the Vietnam War, many of whom were overlooked – even disparaged – for answering their nation’s call to service.

Missouri is among top states for farmers markets According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Missouri is among the top 10 states in the number of farmers markets with 245 listed in the National Farmers Market Directory. Since 2008, farmers’ market establishments in Missouri have grown by 74 percent.

“Part of the Department of Agriculture’s mission is to provide valueadded opportunities for Missouri’s producers to connect with their customers,” Director Richard Fordyce said. “Farmers markets are one way we can build that relationship between those who grow the food and those who eat it.”

“Farming has always been a part of Missouri’s rich history and economic makeup,” says Mike Downing, director of the Missouri Department of Economic Development.

“Farmers markets provide

an excellent way for customers to connect with local producers and learn about the food grown in their communities. By shopping at a farmers market, we are supporting our communities and exposed to healthier food choices.”

Agriculture is a significant economic catalyst for nearly every region of the state. According to 2012 Census of Agriculture data, the value of all agricultural sales in Missouri was $9.16 billion, an increase of 21.8 percent since 2007. Missouri is the second largest state in terms of number of farms with 99,171 farms, and ranks 12th in terms of most farmland, with 28,266,137 acres.

Most farmers markets will only be open for a few more weeks, so visit one soon to purchase pumpkins, gourds, mums and other fall staples.

Battle of the Belt Challenges Missouri High Schools to Buckle Up! Seat Belts Save Lives.

All Missouri high schools

are called to compete in the 2014 Battle of the Belt Challenge for an opportunity to win cash and prizes teaching students the importance of buckling up.

Sponsored by the Missouri Coalition for Roadway Safety, the statewide competition will run October 1 to November 19 to educate young drivers about safety belt use, reduce traffic crash injuries and save teen lives.

“Nearly eight out of ten teens killed in Missouri vehicle crashes over the last three years weren’t buckled up,” said Leanna Depue, chair of the Missouri Coalition for Roadway Safety’s executive committee. “The Battle of the Belt competition can make a difference with Missouri teens and save lives through education, competition and fun.”

Teen drivers are overrepresented in crashes both nationwide and in Missouri. Although comprising only seven percent of Missouri’s licensed drivers, they were involved in nearly 20 percent of the fatal and serious injury crashes over the last three years. Traffic crashes are the leading

cause of death for people 15-20 years old. Results of a 2013 survey among Missouri teens indicate 33 percent of teens are not wearing safety belts.

The program consists of two surprise seat belt checks at each high school to measure student seat belt usage before and after an educational campaign on the importance of safety belt use. In addition, schools have the opportunity to submit a 30-second video spot aimed at encouraging their peers to buckle up.

Statewide and regional cash prizes are awarded to schools reaching high safety belt usage rates to further educate the students on the importance of safety belt use.

Schools achieving Highest Overall Seat Belt Use and Most Improved Seat Belt Use regionally will receive $500.00 donated by American Family Insurance. Statewide recognition will be awarded with a banner for seat belt use rates of gold (99-100 percent), silver (95-98 percent) or bronze (91-94 percent) donated by the Missouri College of Emergency Physicians.

The top three winning video spots will also re-

Hannibal Arts Council to host workshop for students

ceive funding to further seat belt educational programs.

The program originated in southwest Missouri by the Missouri Emergency Nurses Association and St. John’s Hospital. In 2006, the Missouri Coalition for Roadway Safety, in conjunction with American Family Insurance and the Missouri College of Emergency Room Physicians, took the competition statewide and continues to sponsor this year’s program.

High schools can sign up for the Battle of the Belt Challenge by completing a participation agreement form online at http://www.modot.org/ Safety/BattleoftheBeltChallenge.htm before September 26.

The Hannibal Arts Council will host a workshop for students ages 13 to 17 at 5 p.m. on September 11 at Willow Street Christian Church’s Activity Center, 404 Willow Street.

The UrbanINFLUENCE art workshop series is being sponsored by the George H. Riedel Private Foundation. Three other workshops were held in July.

UrbanINFLUENCE will provides participants with in-depth opportunities to work alongside local artists, learn about a variety of art forms and create their own original art. For the September 11 session, Antornette “Tweety” Allison will lead a project titled Illustrated Word, with participant with participants creating an original art pieces using words to create a one-
