COMMUNITY NEWS From the Editor

General Election Nov. 4, 2014 RE-ELECT ROBERT L. SEE Republican Candidate

Ralls County Presiding Commissioner

by Editor Carolyn Trower

FIFTY WAYS TO LEAVE YOUR MESSAGE It’s just a week and a “wake up” until Election Day. One problem is that a lot of people won’t “wake up.” Another problem is that many people feel that non-participation is some sort of protest that will be noticed. On the contrary, this lack of participation is exactly what corrupt, self-serving career bureaucracy depends upon to allow addicts to their selective benevolence to become the voting majority.

If you can’t think of any description of any candidate that is printable: vote anyway! Vote for your best friend/ worst enemy; favorite teacher/least favorite, this seems to be a teacher; favorite comic strip character. You get the picture. What? Waste my time to cast a vote that won’t count? Look, Einstein, how much time do you waste each day waiting for your card swipe to process, the elevator, your GPS to “recalculate,” “on hold,” trying to correct a cyber “screw up,” your turn in the bathroom? Admit it.

Time is not an excuse, and is no more valid than the cost of getting to the polling place. The fact is that every election is financed with tax money. Those who do nothing and own no taxable property therefore contribute nothing to finance the election, but are highly motivated to vote and keep it that way.

It will cost a taxpayer more in taxes than in gas to get to the polls to fund an election in which they did or did not vote. Even if you don’t clip coupons and/or shop online to avoid taxes, this seems to be a “no brainer” “bangfor-the-buck.”

What good will it do?

In every election, the total number of votes cast is recorded and published. Now, would it not be embarrassing if the number of votes cast for neither candidate exceeded the total cast for both? Basically speaking, you’re already paying for a vote. Why not have some fun with it?

Along the lines of government (or the lack of it), reading through the report on the last Perry city council meeting highlighted the sad state of public administration in general. Briefly, a person wanting to establish a paying residential utility hook-up was first required to assume the delinquent account of the deadbeat previous residents.

You know, if a customer drives off without paying for fuel, or leaves the restaurant without paying the tab, the employee responsible is held responsible for the payment. You don’t charge-it-off to the next customer. It would seem to me that whomever is employed to monitor utility accounts should have initiated a workorder to disconnect the delinquent service as soon as the deposit was depleted. RCEC, for instance, requires a current account to maintain service, and is consistently diligent. A $1,200 dollar residential delinquency is sloppy management, incompetence is no excuse for extortion. This should be fresh in voters’ minds next city election.

I don’t mean to pick on Perry, because similar instances occur all too frequently at all levels of administration.

The most frightening sound to a parent is silence, the same should be true for the voters.

I’ve always known “domestic goddess” wasn’t one of my titles. While I view cooking as a necessity, not a hobby, I do like to try new recipes now and then. I’m not going to try anything too elaborate, but I will go beyond my friend’s rule, “no recipe with more than five ingredients.”

One of my more recent finds has been the scores of recipes shared on Facebook. Most of them are variations of comfort foods; stews, soups and casseroles to be served with hot bread and a simple dessert. Recently my daughter-in-law tried the baby red potato bake and they were delicious.

She added a few extras and after supper she was thinking of other ways to tweak the recipe to make it even better. To me that’s the sign of the perfect recipe; one that’s good on its own, but can be personalized to fit your family.

One recipe I want to try is the crescent roll Rueben bake. Both my sons like Rueben sandwiches and I think it’ll make a good weekend meal.

A treasure chest of recipes I use comes from the church and school cookbooks that I’ve purchased throughout the years.

One of the earliest was the cookbook from Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Vandalia. The recipe for Hot German Potato Salad from one of my colleagues at Van-Far was one of my husband’s favorites.

The grandkids included Grandma Carol’s granny noodles in their elementary school cookbook. I hate to admit I’ve never been able to match Mom’s noodles. I think the excellence comes from years of practice. Those noodles graced our table many a Sunday and I can’t imagine a big holiday dinner without them. I’ve tried many salad, cookie and quick bread recipes from these books; all easy and hits at the Smorgasbord and other carry-in meals.

The recipes I use most often are from my mom, lovingly hand-written on index cards and now kept in my cabinet. The bread recipe is the one she used to make hot rolls for the Sunday and holiday din-

Revised Floor Plans DOWNSTAIRS GOVERNOR My wife Laura and I live in town and rent out our farm house. Six months ago I rented to a new renter from back east who works in Grain Valley. I still go to the farm a couple times a day to feed my animals. The other night, the renter came out and said to me “I’m really sorry about your crop. What did you have planted?” I said, “Soybeans. What do you mean you are sorry?” “Well, all the plants died”, he said. I said, “Died? What are you talking about?” He said, “I walked out in the field and all the plant leaves had curled up, turned brown, and were falling off.”

I recently got a letter from Shana Beasley of Jefferson City, who had somehow or other, apparently on the internet, came across an article I had written about her great-grandfather in 2011. It read as follows: Hello there, Jack!

My name is Shana and my great-grandfather was Buck Walz. I came across an article “Jack Remembers”-Buck Walz”, and enjoyed it immensely. I was curious if you had any other stories to share with me? My grandfather, Pete passed away two years ago. He was a wonderful

man. He shared many stories of his father, and there are several written down, but I am always searching. I work here in the Capitol, and oh how I wish the people who are here now knew who I was talking about when I speak about the “basement governor.” Most sincerely, Shana.

Shana’s greatgrandfather, Buck Walz, was probably one of the best liked persons in Cole County and had been Sheriff for several years when Warren Hearnes ran for Governor. Hearnes was the underdog and running against the establishment. The first endorsement he received was Buck’s. When Hearnes was elected Governor, he built Buck an office in the parking garage located in the basement of the Capitol, and for the next eight years it was the most popular gathering place in the Capitol. If you wanted to get anything done in the state, you had to see the “downstairs governor”. Next week I am going to reprint my 2011 article on Buck Walz.

Jack can be reached at PO Box 40, Oak Grove, MO 64075 or jackremembers@aol.com. Visit www.jackremembers. com.

ners. My grandma made her bread from memory with “approximate” measurements that never failed. How much flour?

Oh, just enough until it feels right. Feels right?

I bow to the master and use Mom’s recipe; although, she, too, never really looked at the card, just dipped the measuring spoon in flour and added “a few” eggs and shook “some” salt. Fresh baked bread and rolls are a part of my best childhood memories and an indelible link to my mom and grandma.

Some of the elaborate recipes I come across on Facebook or in a magazine are so tempting. Donuts, ring cakes full of cream cheese and nuts, and cookies made to look like movie characters. But maybe I should stick to my tried and true soups and casseroles. I probably don’t need all those desserts made with crescent rolls, and I’m sure the Krispy Kreme recipe would send me to the couch permanently.

The members of the Ralls County R-II board of education reviewed revised floor plans for the new elementary school at their meeting on Thursday, October 9. The building will have 46,990 square feet at an approximate cost of $7.6 million. Board members also reviewed an alternate to the floor plan that will be included. One more classroom for Title 1 and an office for a second counselor were discussed for the building. The board requested more information on HVAC systems.

Superintendent Jarman will request that the architect send additional information that can be emailed to board members and this will be discussed at the November regular meeting.

Board members watched the MSBA video board report. Danny Clark then gave additional updates. Clark discussed the general guidelines in Senate Bill 656 regarding a School Protection Officer. Even though the major group that promoted Amendment #3 has withdrawn their support for the amendment, it will still be on the November ballot. A group is push-

ing toward a mandatory civics test. On October 7 the state of Missouri submitted an early learning grant application.

Superintendent Jarman shared a communications plan that she created to meet the requirements of board policy KB, Public Information Program.

Jarman serves as the federal programs coordinator and shared the program evaluation.

Last year the district completed a state monitoring of Title 1. Results from parent surveys were also shared.

Board members reviewed the enrollment report, attendance report, Food Services report, transportation report and administrative updates.

In closed session the following individuals were employed for the 2014-2015 school year: Cathy Epperson – part-time Title 1 paraprofessional at New London Elementary Larry Herring – part-time custodian at Mark Twain Ian Hatton – physical education teacher at Mark Twain beginning January 5, 2015, and assistant baseball coach.

LOOKING BACK A View From the Past

“Yesteryears from the local papers”

From the Files of the Ralls County Record Aug. 30, 1962

There were two corn carnivals held in Perry, one in 1908 and one in 1912. The Perry Enterprise reported on one day 10,000 people attended. The St. Louis Hannibal “Short Line” ran special trains all hree days of the event.

Ms. McNeff’s and Ms. Benson’s Kindergarten Classes tour firehouse

New London Elementary’s Kindergarten classes toured the New London Firehouse Friday, October 10. It was an experience that will never be forgotten by students and teachers! Don Epperson did a FANTASTIC job showing all the students what it means to be a fire fighter. He handled 40 kindergartners like a pro. The classes got to: ask

MANY questions, climb in a truck, try on gear, watch water shoot from the truck, and the highlight of the day-- spraying water from the hose.

Don let each child have a chance to spray water.

To top it off each child also received a fireman’s helmet as a souvenir. We would like to give a BIG thanks to the fire department!

I am writing in support of Sandy Lanier for Ralls County Clerk.

Unfortunately, I have not met or know her opponent.

However I fell she is also a good citizen and qualified for the position. I have not heard Sandy say one derogatory remark against her opponent. This is the way it should be, we have way to much negative campaigning on the state and national levels.

Sandy stresses her positive points and does not dwell on negative against her opponent. I feel Sandy is qualified for the position of County Clerk having worked in the courthouse for a number of years. She is really concerned about citizens of Ralls County and has sincere feeling for individuals in the county.

Sandy will have a lot more to learn, she knows this, and will do her best to keep the office in a smooth transition, Study the candidates and vote your choice.
