Dedication, desire and hard work. Seven days a week for fi ve weeks, (1100 hours) Har-old Burkhardt, Ron Watts, Leroy Noble and Ralph Klus-man dedicated themselves to preserving Shockey’s Mill.

When Ted and Linda Clar-dy were offered J.O. Shock-ey’s 184 acres there was no question about accepting it,

What Happened To Shockey’s Mill?

as well as the building called Shockey’s Mill. The mill sat for years until one day, Ted and Linda decided they need-ed to do something to avoid further ransacking that was occurring and possible de-struction. That was when they offered it to the Macon Coun-ty Historical Society, and the rest, as they say, is history!

The fi rst question was how to move it, but that is just what they did. According to Harold Burkhardt, the fi rst step was to move the machines. After that, each piece of lumber was dismantled, moved to the new location and reassembled. The main thing they had to replace was the fl ooring in the upper fl oor as the wood was

too swollen and couldn’t be removed without ruining it. They also replaced the win-dows with Plexiglas rather than glass to avoid someone getting hurt. The original iron hinges, knobs and handles, which were made by Walter Shockey, were also used. The

Remingtyn Bealmer, Sher-idyn Bealmer, Rebecca Hel-ton, Abagail Pierce, Jackie Rowe and Anne Thomas from Macon County were among 128 Missouri youth that participated in a clothing construction and consumer-ism contest during State 4-H Fashion Review on Septem-ber 8 on the University of Missouri campus.

“This contest is designed to be fun, while helping youth enhance their skills and knowledge about sewing, garment selection, knitting

4H Members Get A Taste Of College Lifeand crocheting and the impor-tance of setting and achieving goals,” said Alison Copeland, MU 4-H youth specialist. “State 4-H Fashion Revue is also about exposing young people to the research, educa-tion and other efforts MU is doing in these areas. We want them to see what they might be able to do with their inter-ests at a university like MU.”

The participants, ranging in ages 8-18, participated in a local fashion revue competi-tion either in their county or regional area that qualifi ed

them to participate in the state contests. Jackie Rowe placed 2nd in the senior division of clothes you buy, Sheridyn Bealmer placed 2nd in the junior division of clothes you buy and Rebecca Helton placed 4th in the senior divi-sion of general clothes you make.

Fashion Revue participants also gathered in the Memo-rial Union on the campus to learn about other topics such as public speaking and to par-ticipate in a service learning project that included making

35 weighted blankets for chil-dren with autism. The blan-kets were donated to a state-wide organization that will distribute them to families in need. The participants learned about developmental disabili-ties and experienced the satis-faction that comes from help-ing others.

Missouri 4-H is a program of MU Extension. For more information, visit http://4h.missouri.edu or contact the Macon County MU Exten-sion Center at 660-385-2173.

The Missouri Department of Conservation will be hold a Youth Goose Clinic and Hunt. The clinic will be held Friday, October 12th from 5:30 to 8:30 and the hunt will be on Saturday or Sunday, October 13th or 14th from sunrise to 1:00 p.m.

This clinic and hunt is free

for kids Hunter Ed Certifi ed between the ages of 11 and 15.

The clinic and hunt will take place at Wakonda State Park. The clinic will consist of information on Goose man-agement, regulation, hunting, strategies, distance judging, safety and wing shooting practice.

You must attend the clinic in order to participate in the hunt. Again, all participants must be Hunter Ed certifi ed.

There is a limit to 8 par-ticipants and registration is required. Call 660.785.2420 to register.

The Macon Police Department, in conjunction with the Macon Munici-pal Utilities and Macon Co PWSD #1, collected 86 pounds of unwanted medications during the National Pre-scription Drug Take Back Event this past Saturday . Our previous totals included April 2012 at 83 pounds and October 2011 at 42 pounds, bringing our overall total over 200 pounds already. During the event this past weekend, sites across the State of Missouri collected over 17,000 lbs. These medications have picked up by the DEA to be incinerated instead of landing in our toilets, landfi lls and eventually our water supply. They are also out of reach to avoid misuse, abuse &/or accidental poisonings.

Thanks to everyone participating. Please watch for a future Drug Take Back event in Spring 2013.

Lane Blackford of the Easy Rid-ers 4-H club, Macon, MO, compet-ed alongside 148 other youth from 47 counties at the State 4-H Public Speaking Contest on September 22. Speakers ages 8-18 competed in one of fi ve categories: prepared speak-ing, technology-assisted speaking, extemporaneous speaking, interpre-tation and public service announce-ment.

“Public speaking is a life skill that’s key to future success,” said Tracie Moore, Macon County 4-H Youth Development Specialist “This contest takes those communication skills learned in our county 4-H program and tests them on a larger stage, with some very stiff competi-tion.” While competition is encour-aged, it’s actually a means to an end, said Bradd Anderson, state 4-H Youth Specialist, who coordinates the event. “Trophies can be great motivators,” said Anderson, “but the larger goal is youth development. It’s all about the communication skills they develop while striving to win.”

Missouri 4-H is a program of MU Extension. For more information, visit http://4h.missouri.edu or con-tact the Macon County MU Exten-sion Center at 660-385-2173.

only structural change was to make the door slide from right to left instead of left to right due to a brick chimney fl ue being in the way.

A special door was built into the 2nd fl oor of the society’s building. Lumber, parts and the equipment were hoisted up 20 feet with a fork-lift. Previously, large and heavy pieces had to be dismantled and carried up by muscle alone, accord-ing to Ron Watts.

One must see the build-ing to appreciate the hard work it took to move and re-build it. There is a beauty in the wood (oak,

What Happened To Shockey’s Mill?pine and walnut) that has to be seen. Luckily, the structure and the equip-ment stood the test of time as the building was ne-glected since J.O. Shock-ey passed in 1957.

The mill was built in 1905. Farmers would travel miles to have their grain ground. The story goes that if the farmer had to wait, he would camp on their land until it was “his turn”. During his wait, J.O.’s wife would make sure the customers were taken care of and fed. “It was what she was ex-pected of her and what she did” said Linda.

J.O. would also make

trips to Macon to sell his bags of fl our and grain to local customers. One of the bags can be seen at the museum, still in pristine condition as if the 100 plus years had not even passed.

Shockey’s Mill and many, many other fasci-nating historical pieces can be seen at The Macon County Historical Society on Highway 63, just west of Lakeside Towers, and next to the YMCA. They are open Thursday and Friday 2-4 p.m., Saturday 10 a.m.-12 p.m. Other hours by appointment, call 660-395-6754 or 660-395-5135.

In July 2012, Christy Riekeberg, RN Director of Nursing at Loch Haven was nominated as an inspiring leader in the Timberland PRO Renova Healthcare Ap-preciation Contest. She won the grand prize, which consisted of 14 pairs of Tim-berland PRO Renova professional shoes, water bottles, and lanyards for many of the staff, a $2000 value. Staff members were chosen by a random drawing to re-ceive the pairs of shoes and other gifts.

Christy was interviewed by The Nerdy Nurse Blog. When asked what inspired her to go into nursing her response was, “ Unlike a lot of nurses, in my family, we had no nurses. I was born and raised in a farming community. When I gradu-ated from high school, the county nurs-ing home was across the street from the school. Unsure of my career path, I de-cided to work there for the summer. I spent that summer working night shift as a nursing assistant. Those residents had such an infl uence on my life, by fall I realized I wanted to pursue nurs-ing. I attended the LPN program at the closest vocational technical school and went to work at the acute care hospital. I quickly realized that acute care was not my calling. I married and the opportunity

presented itself for me to attend the as-sociate degree nursing program at the community college. I graduated, applied to Loch Haven Nursing home as a gradu-ate nurse and have been there 24 years. I have been the Director of Nursing for four years.”

“During my nursing career, I have had the opportunity to care for many of my family members during their last days. My grandmother was an inspiration to me growing up. She was a very spiritual lady and truly lived by the golden rule. When she was diagnosed with breast cancer and made the decision she could no longer live alone, she chose to come to Loch Haven. I was able to give back to her during those fi nal days...this was my gift to one of the ladies who truly in-spired my life.”

symbolize autumn. They are found nearly every-where—as carved out, lit-up faces dotting porches on Halloween night, at pumpkin patches, and in kitchens across America. So, understandably, the great use of pumpkins around this time of year, coupled with the recent drought, have left many people worried about the season’s hottest commod-ity.

Fortunately, experts say that pumpkin carving, pie baking and other pumpkin-centric activities this fall will not be affected by the drought. As long as pump-kins receive precipitation at the right time, they are one of the few crops that does fairly well in drought conditions. Pumpkin rinds are susceptible to diseases that come from too much

CUT TO THE CHASE

It’s The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brownwater, so, the lack of pre-cipitation hasn’t been bad for this year’s pumpkins. In fact, experts say that this harvest is just as good as last year’s—if not better.

While pumpkin quan-tity is looking good, so is the quality. The top pump-kin-producing states are reporting that this year’s crop is in good shape. Il-linois, Michigan, Ohio, New York, Pennsylvania, New York and California all claim that the overall ornamental pumpkin crop, which is used primarily for jack-o-lanterns, is in much better shape than a year ago, especially for farmers with irrigation systems in place. Disease is low and farmers are expecting a normal yield. Some farm-ers even claim this year’s pumpkins are the best ever.

Bakers, too, can rejoice. Illinois, where the most pumpkins are grown for

pie fi lling (nearly 90 per-cent of U.S. processing pumpkins are grown in the state) reports that the crop is on track.

And that’s not only great for consumers, it’s good for the agriculture industry. On average, total U.S. pumpkin production in major producing states has a farm-gate value of around $118 million. The fi nal retail value is estimat-ed to be $850 million. The pumpkin is an example of the relatively small share farmers receive of the retail dollar. Around 14 percent of the total pumpkin price goes to farmers, while the remaining 86 percent goes toward processing, trans-portation and marketing. On average, a farmer re-ceives $11.26 per every 100 pounds of pumpkins he or she produces.

It really is the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown.

Today’s news reports fatalities in our eleven-year War in Afghanistan have passed the 2,000 mark. The article indicated most folk have forgotten the Afghan War. I have not forgotten. I am proud of our military and honored to pay tribute to it. Our military personnel are not forced into service; they volunteer to enter the line of fi re to protect us.

We used to draft young men into the military. At age 18, guys registered and Uncle Sam could call them into duty whenever he chose. The draft ended in 1973 over the objections of many who believed it would be impossible to maintain a military machine with volunteers

THE SHEPHERD CALLS

Sacrifi cial Serviceonly. Obviously, the doomsayers were wrong. Our nation has since fought numerous confl icts with courageous volunteers. Indeed, recently—right or wrong—we were involved in multiple wars.

Now you may ask, “How can this be? Why do young people willingly place themselves in harm’s way?” There are as many answers as there are military personnel. However, this phenomenon underscores several truths about our great country.

There are those who believe our country has lost its character, and people of today care only for themselves. If that were true, it would be impossible to staff our armed forces solely with

volunteers.Love of country has

always been important to us Americans. It was Patrick Henry who fi rst cried, “Give me liberty or give me death”, and that was before we were a country. For several years, I lived in Tennessee. While there, I shared my state’s pride in being the Volunteer State, i.e. the state with the most military volunteers in the War of 1812 and the Mexican War.

Of those who volunteer, some explain, “It’s a man thing. Young men need to prove themselves.” Perhaps, but today’s military is “manned” by many young women as well as men, proving self-sacrifi ce is not limited to the male population.

Sacrifi cial service is an excellent sign of character. It was to that nobleness of humanity that Jesus made His appeal. He said, “Follow me, and I will make you fi shers of men”. Another time he said, “The servant of all is the greatest of all”. However, His most demanding appeal is, “If anyone would be my disciple, let them take up their cross and follow me”.

Jesus never painted Christianity as a bed of roses but rather as a life of self-sacrifi ce. It is not for sissies. It is for people of character. Perhaps that is why Jesus said, “It’s a narrow way, and few fi nd it”.

Enrollment at Truman State University is up from last year and at its highest level in 14 years and the University’s retention and graduation rates continue to increase.

Offi cial enrollment statistics were recently compiled and show Truman with a 2.2 percent increase in the number of students from the previous year. The University now counts 6,237 students in total, with a majority, 5,872, enrolled

Truman State University Enrollment Reaches 14 Year High

as undergraduates. The Truman student body hails from 106 Missouri counties, 38 states and 54 countries. More than 90 percent are enrolled on a full-time basis.

The University has also seen an increase in the freshman to sophomore retention rate (89%) and the six-year graduation rate reached a new high of 73.6 percent. Truman has the highest graduation rate among Missouri’s public colleges

and universities and approximately 50 percent of Truman’s graduates pursue an advanced degree immediately after graduation.

Truman has the unique distinction of being the designated statewide public liberal arts and sciences university for the state of Missouri. U.S. News & World Report’s 2013 edition of “Best Colleges” ranked Truman as the No. 1 public university in the

Midwest region for the 16th consecutive year. In the Washington Monthly September/October 2012 magazine, Truman was recognized as the No. 6 master’s university in the nation. Truman was the only Missouri school listed in the top 50 and the only public Missouri school on the entire Top 100 Master’s Universities list.

COMMENT

From The Mayor’s Desk

FROM OUR READERSFAITH

Pastor’s Corner Andrew Jackson

THOMAS

There was a day when the disciples saw another man casting out demons in the name of Jesus. They tried to stop him. We don’t know if they were successful in stopping him or not. They reported this to Jesus saying they tried to stop him because “he wasn’t following us” (Mark 9:38, CEB). Jesus told them not to stop him because “no one who does powerful acts in my name can quickly turn around and curse me” (verse 39, CEB).

From this story we can assume that these disciples were already infected with something many churches today deal with. Some churches get to feeling like they are the only ones who have cor-nered the market on doing works for the kingdom of God. They feel like they are the only ones carrying the true message of Jesus Christ to the world. They feel like the other church-es who claim to follow Je-sus are wrong somehow.

This passage tells us that it is not the case that only one church or con-gregation or denomina-tion is the correct one. Anyone who claims to be a follower of Jesus, no matter what name they hang on their building, is legitimate. Our only con-cern should be whether or not they work they do

glorifi es God and Jesus or only themselves.

There are many churches that are all doing the work that is pleasing to God. There are many churches that are bearing fruit for the kingdom of God. We have different churches and denomina-tions somewhat because of difference in laws that men have established for their church or group of churches. But also be-cause it impossible for human beings t agree on every detail of faith, so we have many different groups that are all trying to help people get to the goal of eternal life. We are different in our em-phasis, but no t in our core belief in Jesus as Savior.

Pastor Denzil ThomasAtlanta, Mt. Zion, and La Plata United Methodist Churches

Dear Home Press Editor:Andrew Jackson (1767-

1845) was the seventh president of the United States. He admitted on his last day in offi ce, to hav-ing just two regrets. He “had been unable to shoot Henry Clay, or hang John C. Calhoun.” Clay was a National Republican who ran against Jackson in 1832 and lost. Calhoun was Jackson’s vice-pres-ident during his fi rst term in offi ce. Calhoun was not Jackson’s brand of Demo-crat. Calhoun cared more about States Rights then he did about the continu-ance of the Union. Jackson swore that he (Jackson) would die with the Union. These two different trains of thought, would collide on the battlefi elds of the American Civil War.

Andrew Jackson is fa-mous for his willingness to fi ght duels. How many duels he fought, has no consistent answer in the history book. Most du-eling pistols of that era were smooth bore and inaccurate. However, if the agreed rules are “take fi ve paces, turn and fi re” it was still possible to have a double fatality. Without a doubt, Jackson killed at least one man in a duel. Another fact that the his-tory books agree on is this: Jackson carried two differ-ent bullets from two dif-ferent quarrels in his body, for nearly 20 years. One

bullet cracked two ribs upon entry and remained so close to the heart, that the surgeons of that pe-riod would not even dare to practice their art. The other slug, lodged in his arm. The surgeons recom-mended amputation. Jack-son refused. Duels were af-fairs of honor, and Jackson had no shortage of honor to defend.

The more things change, the less they remain the same. In Jackson’s day “gun control” meant be-ing able to hit the target you were aiming at. To-day “gun control” is an at-tempt to nullify and void the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which addresses the pub-lic’s right to keep and bare arms. “Hanging”, a form of capitol punishment used widely in centuries past: is today restricted to on state.

Jackson also fought with money. In January of 1835, he paid off the entire na-tional debt. The one and only time n U.S. history that this feat has been ac-complished. Hooray for Andrew Jackson’s will-ingness to pay off the en-tire national debt. Another president like him will not be seen in our time. An-drew (Old Hickory) Jack-son, the original Democrat right-wing extremist.

La Plata Elementary celebrated International Walk to School Day on October 3rd. Students, Parents, and LES Staff met in the park at 7:30am to begin their trek to the elementary school. Along the way, students danced to the tune, “Dinosaur Walk.” There were well over 100 students participating in LES’s 2nd An-nual Walk to School Event.

Well I hope your week was good! I spent mine try-ing to remember where I was supposed to be. LOL The past couple weeks I worked at the ER Admis-sions window on the 11:30 p.m. to 7:30 a.m. shift, as my friend Colby took some vacation days and I cov-ered her shift. Besides that shift, I also worked my day job at the Home Press, sell-ing ads, gathering informa-tion, updating the website and taking pictures, only to fi nd myself almost fall-ing asleep in certain situa-tions, so if you fi nd an over amount of typos in this weeks paper, please keep it to yourselves. LOL Na, just kidding, bring it on, I can take it, I’ll just cry. (hehe)

After the week was over, on Friday evening I kept Quinci Jo while Sam worked and hoped she would go to bed early, but forgot that I had to run to Kirksville with Sara and Daniel (her boyfriend) to get stuff for her baby show-er on Saturday. So, that said, we were in Kirksville until 10:00 p.m. and then Quinci, of course, isn’t tired when we get home, cause she has slept in the truck all night. Good Grief!

Anyway, got to bed around midnight, got up around 8:00 a.m., baked about 6 dozen cookies, made a pot of chili, made 20 peanut butter sand-wiches, did some laundry, fi nished Sara’s gift, loaded the truck and got to the 1:00 p.m. shower at oh, around 12:40 p.m., unloaded the truck, got tables set up, got the gift in, realized the punch ingredients were still at home, so sent the kids home for it, then forgot the frozen orange juice mold for the punch, sent Skyler back home again. Finally got the punch made and sat down to visit with friends and family and then the shower begins. Just after we ate, Sara began opening gifts and right in the middle, I had to run out to the sports complex, as the LHS girls softball team was playing in the championship game vs. the Bevier Wildcats and since my friend, Su-san, had been texting me scores each inning, I knew I had to fl y out for a picture of the LHS Girls District Champs. Yup, we won the game 10-4. Go Bulldogs.

Anywho, back to the shower, missed the open-ing of gifts, had some cake and cleaned up, loaded the truck again, bringing her loot home and all the food leftovers, unloaded the truck and sat down for a few, then up and did not one, not two, but three sinks full of dishes.

Sammie brought Quinci

over around 5:00 p.m. and we started over, on the “I’m not tired memaw” at-titude. LOL, she can’t talk, only six months, but I knew if she could, that’s what she’d be saying, while laughing at me.

Sara babysat while I ran to the Adair County Young Farmers Truck and Trac-tor Pull for a few pictures, in the bitter cold tempera-tures. LOL

Anyway, back home and Quinci Jo and I fell asleep in the chair around 9:30. LOL

Sunday........ I sat around the house ALL DAY, nev-er even went outside. And I was still so tired, my eyes were closing around 6:45. And that is where we are right now. I’m thinking that I will try to stay up till around 9:00 and then hit the hay.

All in all it was a very very very busy week for me, still managed to work about 70 hours and didn’t break a rib. LOL (That’s for all of you who follow my column, I’m easily bro-ken).

But I’m so excited to have Baby Lee almost here. Three weeks or so and I’ll be memaw for the second time this year. I’m so ex-cited. Which makes work-ing my rear off even more “okay”. I’ve provided for my children since day one and they are all now pro-viding for themselves, so now, I get to just spoil the little ones. :) Cause that’s what memaws do.

Don’t forget the LHS Lady Bulldogs will be playing on Wednesday night at the La Plata Sports Complex for the Sectional Title against the Knox County Eagles at 6:00 p.m. “Get Your Red On”!! If they win, the next game will be on Saturday, Octo-ber 13th, where and what time to be determined. So keep watching our website at www.maconhomepress.com for complete sporting results.

The junior high ball teams will be playing at the Green City tournament this week on Thursday and Fri-day, so will see you there. Another long week for the press, but we are commit-ted to bringing you the news!!!

Most, if not all of you, are aware by now that the planned change-over to the new electrical genera-tors didn’t happen and as we are getting volumes of complaints at City Hall, I feel it necessary to en-lighten the community with a few facts.

On Friday evening while at dinner at a Kirks-ville eatery, I received a phone call from a Coun-cil member stating that he and another Councilman had called off the planned switchover operation and were in the process of no-tifying all 3-phase motor owners within town.

His stated reason when asked, was that they “didn’t like the engineer’s personality” and they had talked with an old electri-cian and he had told them the changeover wouldn’t work and would “blow”

every 3-phase motor in town. This was despite the fact that the old elec-trician hadn’t been in-volved in this process in anyway and the City’s engineer supervising this operation had been used many times and was inti-mately involved with this project for many months.

Needless to say, I was shocked. I immediately called the City Admin-istrator at this home and he didn’t know anything about it either.

I don’t believe that “not liking the engineer’s personality” is a valid reason for the cancelling this or any other project. Trusting an old electri-cian, although is a good guy, who has never been involved in this process in any way is not a valid reason either.

The City has used this

engineer and fi rm a lot in the past and had no prob-lems with his work. The City Administrator had personally met and talked this project over many times with the electrical engineer from Missouri Public Utility Alliance (MPUA) of which we are a member organization. He has also had Caterpil-lar Corp. involved as they are the makers of the new generators.

This was a good and solid plan. The fact that two Councilmen have a hard time coping with any type of public criticism will now cost the city a bundle of money, espe-cially if we have to hire and bring in new engi-neers and start the process all over again.

If you complain, I will understand, as all four Councilmen have cell

phones and their numbers aren’t readily available to the public. What a conve-nience for them.

I sincerely want to apologize for any incon-venience for failure to make the changeover, as I know many, not just a few, of you made extend-ed efforts to accommo-date us, your customers and your businesses.

OATS, Inc. ridership numbers remain strong after 40 years of service and continues to grow in popularity thanks to the agency’s commitment to provide quality service. But, that’s not a huge sur-prise considering OATS is the only transportation provider in many rural ar-eas of Missouri. Thanks to our customers, OATS fi n-ished last fi scal year pro-viding 1.7 million rides, an increase of 6.2 percent, or 99,646 rides over 2011. Service was provided to 33,769 Missourians and covered 16 million miles in just one year.

Wherever you travel in Missouri chances are you will see an OATS van or two along the way. “OATS has continued to meet the challenges facing transit over the last few years,” said Dorothy Yeager, Ex-ecutive Director. “We will continue to fulfi ll our mis-sion of providing “reliable transportation for transpor-tation disadvantaged Mis-sourians so they can live independently in their own communities.” Yeager added OATS is committed to providing safe, reliable

Saturday evening, October 6th the temperatures were bitter, but weren’t enough to keep specta-tors at home from viewing the 3rd Annual Adair County Young Farmers Truck and Tractor Pull. An over abundant amount of machinery was on hand to pull weight and try to capture bragging rights, a trophy and some cash.

The Internal Revenue Service today urged al-most 6,000 Missouri tax return preparers to im-mediately schedule their competency test or risk diffi culty fi nding a date, time or location as the exam deadline nears next year. For most of these, the appropriate test will be the Registered Tax Return Preparer competency test.

The Registered Tax Re-turn Preparer test has been available since November 2011. Tax professionals who are Enrolled Agents, Certifi ed Public Accoun-tants, and attorneys are ex-empt from the test, as are certain non-signing pre-parers and those who do not prepare the Form 1040 series.

The RTRP test is being administered by Promet-ric, Inc., which has 260 testing sites nationwide.

Paid for by citizens to retain Judge Tucker, Gary G. Wallace, treasurer

A Note to the Voters of Macon and Shelby Counties of

the 41st Judicial DistrictDuring my time as Shelby County Sheriff,

I had many contacts with Rick and found that he is very knowledgeable, reliable and prepared in his profession. He is also

a strong supporter of law enforcement. I urge you to support and vote for Rick Tucker in the No-vember election. I certainly feel that he will be a circuit judge that we can all be proud of.

Keep Judge Frederick (Rick) Tucker As Our Circuit Judge.
