There is still time to get tickets for The Honky Tonk Angels playing at the Royal Theatre in Macon

Maybe Kitty Wells is right and God didn’t make Honky Tonk Angels, but the little gals on stage in the Maples Rep production of Ted Swindley’s en-tertaining review will make country music lovers think they are in honky tonk heaven.

fornia, Ohio and New York, but their country roots certainly show as they tackle over 30 classic country tunes with a hilarious story about three gutsy gals who are determined to better their lives and follow their dreams to Nash-ville. The all-hit song list includes “I’ll Fly Away,” “Stand by Your Man,” “9 to 5,” “Coal Miner’s Daughter,” “Ode to Billy Jo,” “These Boots Are Made for Walking,” “Rocky Top,” and “I Will Always Love You”. Backed by a live band onstage, these girls deliver the music, stories and jokes.

The Maples Repertory Theatre pro-

duction is currently playing at the Roy-al Theatre in Macon, Missouri. The Honky Tonk Angels closes on Novem-ber 4th, so look at your calendar and try to get tickets to this one.

For more information and to order tickets call the Maples Box Offi ce at 660-385-2924, order online at www.maplesrep.com, or go by the theatre located on corner of Rubey and Vine in Macon, Missouri. Box offi ce hours are Monday-Saturday 10-5 and Sunday 11-4.

On October 9th the LHS Marching Bull-dogs traveled to Hannibal to participate in the 64th annual Mark Twain Marching Band Festival. The non-competitive na-ture of the festival allowed the Bulldogs to gain much needed experience, as well as to receive constructive criticism from two of northeast Missouri’s most sought after adjudicators. Of the comments received, one judge said “For such a small band you are doing a GREAT job…Congratu-lations on your sound.” Following the performance at Hannibal, the band also traveled to Kirksville on October 20th to participle in the annual Truman State Uni-versity homecoming parade, where they delivered yet another stellar performance. The band concluded their marching sea-son with a competitive parade on October 27th as part of the Culver-Stockton Home-coming activities in Canton, Missouri. Congratulations to the Marching Bulldogs for all their hard work and success over the past several months.

A local ministry will host an All-You-Can-Eat Fall Smorgasbord on Saturday, November 10, 2012, from 11:00 to 2:00 P.M., in celebration of the opening day of deer season. All lo-cal residents are encouraged to attend. The event will be held at the La Plata Elementary School.

Volunteers from Church WithOut Walls, family and friends will prepare a meal including ham, turkey, home-made noodles, dressing, yeast rolls and over a dozen kinds of pie. A free will offering will be taken at the door.

Workers will prepare at eight large turkeys, ten hams and more than 80 lbs. of mashed potatoes to serve around 300 meals. Thirty batches of homemade noodles have been pre-pared including more than 100 eggs and 75 cups of fl our. Takeouts for hunters are also welcome. Marla Gan-der and Erica Baker will coordinate the meal with help of volunteers from the church and others.

Traditional fall homecoming din-ners for churches of the past have in-cluded bazaar items including crafts and auction items including quilts, wood, grain, livestock, hay, and hams. During those times, many women raised birds just for the annual meals, in addition to quilting, crocheting, and knitting other homemade items to sell. This event continues that tradition with simple, Thanksgiving fare.

For more information about Church WithOut Walls, visit www.goatlanta-church.com. To help or promote this event, contact Erica Baker at (660) 473-6300 or [email protected].

Following visiting, we decided to meet again the last weekend in Septem-ber 2014.

The University of Mis-souri has tested crop vari-eties since the 1930’s and the 2012 corn results are now available. Since this was a rather unique year let’s talk about them a lit-tle more.

these or we do have a very limited number of printed books. This year’s drought is an excellent opportunity to check hybrids out to see how they perform under very adverse conditions. In fact, the trials at Nov-elty and Albany were not harvested due to the con-ditions. The 3 other North Missouri locations offer the chance to compare va-rieties and how they did in our extreme drought. If you think next year may be dry again (and no

I am not predicting an-other drought) next year it might allow you to decide to plant at least some va-rieties that did better than others.

You can also compare all the locations harvested to compare how varieties did under very different conditions and moisture levels. Moisture level of the corn and a lodging score are also part of the information provided. I urge you to study them. I will let everyone know

The 2012 Missouri Crop Performance Bulletin for Corn is special report 588 and is available now. The soybean report will be made available at a later

date. The drought this year has provided a unique opportunity to observe hy-brids under these conditions.

Brrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wow did the temps drop!!! All I can say is “How RUDE!” to Mother Nature. And the other only other thing I can say is “Welcome to Missouri Weather”!! I hope you are ready for this. Gonna get worse before it gets better I’m afraid. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but it happens every year. So, there ya have it.

Fuel? Well prices have been falling and falling, but after November 6th………….. Back up they go! You know that, right? The election will end, political views and promises will be over and the fuel prices will be climbing the ladder again. Good Grief!!

Well, I always ask for the bad news before the good news, so that was it.

On a good note, my daughter, Sara, (I call her “Red”) will be admitted into the hospital on Wednesday, October 31st! Gonna have a Halloween Baby!! Hope he comes out looking like his memaw, that way he won’t be spooky. LOL Oh, I’m sure he’ll be just the cutest little pumpkin ever!!! I can’t wait.

So….my plans have changed. Won’t be working the Emergency Room Window that night, so don‘t eat too much candy. I’m taking the day off to be with Red and Daniel at the hospital, but will also get to take my other little pumpkin Treat-or-Treating that night. Her fi rst Halloween!!! I’m so excited. Her momma has to work, so it’s all about me this year. Yeah!!!! I’m gonna try to get Randy to haul us around in the Gator to hit a few houses and special aunts and family and probably back to the hospital, hopefully to share my, woops I mean Quinci’s candy, with Baby Lee. That’s the best part, Quinci is too little for candy, so it’s all mine!!!! HeHe!! That was my evil plan all along!

I judged the coloring

contest for the Brashear Cheerleaders Halloween Party on Sunday. Those kids are so cute, so many costumes and silly faces. And the coloring? Well it was awesome, can’t believe the kids can color so well. I still scribble on my coloring pages sometimes. And yes, I do still color!! Relaxing!!

We are also getting ready for Veteran’s Day in our offi ce. We will be covering the Veteran’s Day Luncheon on the 9th and scooting over to the high school for the annual ceremony afterwards. I hope you have made plans to attend. It will be a great day full of memories, tears, hugs and THANK YOU’s!!

Sometimes when I’m in line at a fast food restaurant, I jump before a guy in a Veteran’s cap, or a guy in Camo’s and purchase their meal, coffee, or whatever they are having! It’s the least I can do to say “thank you!” My father was killed in the war, never got to meet him, but I’m very proud of him! And I’m proud of my step-father who came into our lives, after the Navy and invited us into his life, making us his family! Sometimes a father isn’t the one who helps make your existence, but the man who became the one you look up to! I love both of my dad’s! Am proud of them! And am honored to be a part of a Veteran’s Life!! So, again, “Thank You, not only to my dad, Fred, but to all of those of you who have served to give us what we have today!

Keep It Kool,Bec

The short, stooped man was old and the ob-vious victim of a stroke. He stood in the hall and tried to talk to folk, but his speech was not intel-ligible. Several people passed him by pretending not to notice his desire to greet them. Then a teenag-er came by, greeted the old man by name, put his arm around his shoulder, and the two of them walked off together.

I’ve thought about it a lot. I’d like to fi nd the teenager and give him a medal or something. How-ever, I suspect he would be surprised. He was not befriending the man to get an award; he obviously liked him. As unlikely as it seems, they were friends. Their lives enriched each other.

We really impede our social and spiritual growth when we limit our friend-ships to people like us. Adults often have no friends who are children. Teenagers tend to make friends only with other teenagers. Some people limit their friends to per-sons of their own ethnic-

ity; and on and on it goes. It’s a little like reading the same book over and over. You may memorize the book, but you don’t learn anything new. All of this is sad, because we grow when we are challenged by the diversity of others.

In Disney’s Jungle Book, there is a charming song, “We are friends . . . friends to the bitter end.” What makes the song poi-gnant is that it is sung by the friendless vultures. Admittedly, we should choose our friends wisely. Still, our failure to include dissimilar persons into our circle of friends not only hurts them, it also hurts us. When you are young and strong, you can get away with it. But one day we, too, will be old and frail. We will be the different one, like the stroke victim mentioned earlier. Then, who will befriend us?

When Jesus said, “I call you friends . . .” (John 15:15), He was including you and me. Imagine the unlovable me being one of Jesus’ friends. What a hoot!

The Atlanta Home Pioneers met for their October meeting on October 13, 2012, at the Baker Farm. Sev-eral games were played. Everyone got their pictures taken in front of a wagon with pumpkins. There was a delicious carry-in dinner, with hot dogs. After the meal, there was a pumpkin painting contest, and everyone got a prize. Later, there was a friendly game of basketball.

ATLANTA HOME PIONEERS MEET AT BAKER’S FARM

A blind beggar named Bartimaeus sat by the side of the road in Jericho. he depended on the mercy of others to receive what he needed to survive. It may be only a few copper coins they threw to him. But it was all he had to live on until. He had little hope for hi life. He could not work. But then he heard Jesus was in Jericho. He had heard the stories of the miracles of healing Jesus had performed. He heard the stories of the casting out of demons. He had heard of the miracu-lous feeding had hope for his life. He had hope and

even a little faith that he would receive his sight. Then Bartimaeus heard that Jesus was traveling on the same street he sat

The meeting was held in Washington D.C. to establish procedures for display-ing the United States Flag. The code was based on Army and Navy practices. In 1942, Congress passed a joint resolution to make the Flag Code a law.

Today, we celebrate June 14 as Flag Day.

Although it is a law, there are no penal-ties and the Flag Code is a voluntary guide for showing respect to the U.S. Flag. Forty-seven states have their own laws

with penalties that prohibit desecration of the flag or its use for advertising or

publicity.

The U.S. Flag should be displayed from sunrise to sun-set, unless it is well lit during

the darkness.

The U.S. Flag should always be placed above other flags and pen-

nants. There is one exception during a special Navy ceremony at sea.

On a stage, the U.S. Flag should al-ways be placed behind the speaker and to his/her right.

When hanging the U.S. Flag vertically or horizontally from a wall or window, the canton, or union, should be at the top right of the flag. When you face the flag, it should be on your left.

On Memorial Day, the U.S. Flag is flown at half staff until noon, and then raised until sunset.

The President of the United States, governors and limited other government officials may direct the U.S. Flag to be flown at half staff.

The U.S. Flag should not be allowed to touch the ground, but if it does, you are not required to destroy it as long as it is still suitable for display.

It is acceptable to wash or dry clean a U.S. Flag to keep it in good shape.

Only all-weather U.S. Flags made of non-absorbent material should be dis-played during bad weather.

When a U.S. Flag has served its life, it should be destroyed, preferably by burn-ing. Many American Legion posts have special ceremonies on Flag Day, June 14. You may have your own ceremony to dis-creetly burn worn out flags.

Never use a U.S. Flag to cover a statue or monument or drape the flag over the hood, top, sides or back of a vehicle, train or boat.

The U.S. Flag should not be used as wearing apparel, including costumes or athletic uniforms, bedding or drapery.

Every schoolhouse should display the U.S. Flag during school days.

The U.S. Flag should never be used for advertising purposes.

Flythe horizontal length, or width of a flag.

Fly endthe part of the flag that flaps in the wind and often becomes frayed.

Finiala decorative ornament on top of a flagpole or staff.

Half Staffthe position of the flag when it is one half the distance between the top and bottom of the staff or flagpole. This is done to mourn the death of an individual.

Halyardrope or cable used to raise and lower a flag on a flagpole.

Hoistthe edge of a flag nearest the flagpole. Also refers to the vertical width of a flag.

Vexillologythe study of flags.

Cantontop inner corner of a flag. On the U.S. Flag, this is also called the “Union.”

Fieldthe section of the flag between the hoist and the fly, not including the canton.

Activities1. Look through your newspaper for pictures and stories of holidays, events and deaths where the U.S. Flag will be displayed.

2. Write an editorial giving your opinion on this topic: Should there be a Constitutional amendment making it illegal to burn our flag in protest or is burning the flag an expression that is part of our Freedom of Speech?

beside and was coming in his direction. He heard the growing excitement of the people as Jesus came nearer for they had all heard the stories also.

Then Bartimaeus heard the increased excite-ment as Jesus was walk-ing in the block next to him. And then he heard the people say that Jesus was practically in front of him. His hope and his faith swelled within him and Bartimaeus called out to him, Jesus, Son of David, show me mercy.” The people tried to quiet him but he called out even louder, “ Son of David

have mercy on me.” And Jesus stopped right there an called for Bartimaeus to be brought to him. Je-sus asked Bartimaeus what he wanted Jesus to do for him. He answered, “Give me my sight.” Jesus told him “Go Your faith has made you whole.”

Will you have the faith of Bartimaeus and ask Je-sus for that need you have that is deep within you? Will you let Jesus make you whole today?

Cantrell Weds Walls Honor Choir Performs At Three Schools

Three LHS students recently participated in the 2012 Tri-County Conference honor choir. Students from nine schools gathered in New Cambria for an afternoon of rehearsals on Sunday, October 14th. The next day the students traveled to New Cambria, Buck-lin, and Linn County, presenting concerts at each of the three schools.

We are responsible for the November Birthday Party at the La Plata Nurs-ing Home and plans were discussed. Irene and Leila will purchase items for those celebrating birth-days. Fruit will be pur-chased for Bingo prizes and Leila will make Car-mel corn for Bingo prizes.

Dora Lovingier and Irene Osborn will make angel food cakes.

My name is Tim Remole. My wife Brenda and I have been married for 34 years. We have two children

and 3 grandchildren. I am a devoted husband, father, and Pa Pa. I have lived in Randolph and Macon

counties for over 38 years. As an adult I worked at NEMO Coal mine for six years before it shut down

in 1989. I started my own business at that time and we are currently operating that business at the

present time. With over 22 years of experience as a small business owner with employees, I know how

to create jobs and balance a budget, even in economically harsh climates. I am running on the platform

of Faith, Family, and Freedom.

Jobs and energy go hand in hand and with my experience as a business owner and working in the

coal mining industry; I feel I can fight for jobs and energy. It is critical for our citizens and businesses. The

state of Missouri ranks 48th in job creation and growth. We have to make our state a business friendly

state that makes businesses want to come to Missouri. Paperwork, regulations, taxes, and mandates

have flooded out of Washington over the last four years. This during the worst economic recovery on

record. This trickles down to our state. It doesn’t make sense . I am a common sense no nonsense guy

As a business owner, I have worked and do business in all three counties of the sixth district every

year. I have been invited and have attended legislative business meetings and have been informed of

what businesses, farmers, and bankers are facing in new regulations from big government. They realize

as do I, some regulations are needed but government has went to far. The government is to be the

servants of the people not the other way around. I will work for what is best for the people in the sixth

district. I have had meetings with Associated Electric Co Op (AECI) and talked with Macon Electric Co OP

officials about our Thomas Hill coal fired plant. New regulations from the EPA are again threatening our

coal fired power plant. AECI has spent millions and millions of dollars and have complied with all previous

regulations and is one of the cleanest coal fired plants in the U S. If this power plant is shut down we will

face at least 60-70% price increases in our electricity, it could be more. Think of the jobs that will be lost

and the economic impact it will have to our communities and our schools in the district. I will do my best

to fight for coal and our natural resources we know work for us.

Education is vitally important and I believe we must have a strong education system that works with

the main goal focusing on the children’s education. Of our total Missouri budget, education takes up

30% of that budget. We can’t solve the problems by just throwing more money at it. I believe that the

power should be in our local communities. Parents and our elected school board members know what

is best for our children rather than politicians in Washington or Jefferson City. Local school boards will

spend their money more efficiently and wisely than anyone else. I was a school bus driver for 4 years

and I worked with teachers and administrators. I know many teachers and have family members that

are in education including my daughter who has been a school counselor. In my business I have worked

for school districts and colleges meeting with superintendents and plant operation directors of those

schools. All of the schools and colleges I have worked for are in the sixth district with the exception of

Columbia College. Schools on all levels are important. Public, private, or home school should be the

freedom of the parent to decide how they want to educate their children. I will be a strong advocate

for education and look forward to working with all the school districts in the sixth district.

I have many other issues I would like to address such as the Affordable Health Care Act that is far from

affordable and needs to be repealed for various reasons. Over 71% of Missourians voted against this

and I could not agree more. Many of the things I stand for is based on my platform of Faith, Family, and

Freedom. That is why I have been endorsed by Missouri Right to Life, Missouri Eagle Forum, National

Federation of Independent Businesses (NFIB), Missouri Chamber of Commerce, and current State Rep-

resentative Randy Asbury. I have received the highest rating from the National Rifle Association (NRA)

and an A rating from National Family Association.

“OLD GLORY”I am the American flag. Listen to me and I’ll tell you my story. My colors are red,

white and blue. I have a field of 50 stars and 13 stripes. I am also known as “The Stars and Stripes” and “Old Glory.” I am honored to be in all public places. I go to schools where the children pledge allegiance to me. I attend all sporting events and stand proud and fly high as they sing my song “The Star Spangled Banner.” I am honored when I go by in a parade and my people salute me.

Yes, I’m the American Flag. I served under 40-some presidents. I was in peace and war. I was at the battle of Bunker Hill and Valley Forge where I saw the soldiers starve and freeze to death. I was with General Washington as he crossed the Delaware. I was in the Civil War where I saw father and son, brother and brother fight against each other to save the Union. I was there when they freed the slaves. I was at Gettysburg with President Lincoln, where in a few minutes he gave the most famous speech ever heard, “The Get-tysburg Address.” I went along to the trenches in France in World War I, the beaches of Normandy in World War II, the day which lives in infamy at Pearl Harbor, the sands of Iwo Jima, where a few soldiers planted me in the sand to fly high with honor over them. I was in many wars and places with the people of my country. The farthest distance I have traveled is to the moon where I’m also flying high to honor my country.

I am the American flag. I stand for freedom, but freedom has it price. Freedom doesn’t pevail without tyranny. I was disgraced many a time. I was spit on, stepped on, shot at and burned. I saw racism and other violence in my country, but I have overcome, for I fly over America the greatest country there is. A land of freedom, liberty, opportunities, a place to dream and live your dreams, a land of bounteous blessings, a land of milk and honey. A land to worship your Lord and Master. If we would just open our eyes and hearts and believe in God and ourselves we could move mountains. What a great country I stand for. I’m proud of my patriots. May they be proud of me!

I am the American flag. I am at the boot camp where the morning reveille is played. I am the cover over the casket when one of my servicemen who have served their country reach their final resting place. And I’ll fly high with honor while taps are played for those who have served their country and have paid the price. They gave their all so that I may fly free.

Yes, I am the American flag. May I long wave over the land of the free and the home of the brave.

God Bless my Country! God Bless America! Long may She live!

the Allied nations and Germany in World War I.

One year later, President Woodrow Wilson declared that Nov. 11, 1919 was a day to remember Americans for their military service in World War I. He called it Armistice Day. He suggested that Americans celebrate with parades and perhaps a “brief suspension of business” around 11 a.m. President Wilson also hoped it would be a time when Americans offered prayers of thanksgiving for those who had served and for peace for all times.

★ President Wilson originally intended Armistice Day to be observed one time, but many states decided to observe it every year to honor World War I veterans.

★ Congress followed the states’ lead and in 1938 declared that every November 11 would be observed as Armistice Day.

★ Congress changed the name to Veterans Day in 1954 to honor veterans of all wars.

★ For a brief time, 1971-1974, Veterans Day was observed on the 4th Monday in October. Since 1975, Veterans Day is always observed on Nov. 11.

★ If Nov. 11 falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the federal government observes the holiday on the previous Friday or following Monday, respectively.

★ Nov. 11, 1921, when the first of the unknown soldiers was buried in Arlington National Cemetery, unidentified soldiers also were laid to rest at Westminster Abbey in London and at the Arc de Triomphe in Paris.

★ Memorial Day, the fourth Monday in May, honors American service members who died in service to their country.

★ Veterans Day pays tribute to all American veterans, living or dead, but especially gives thanks to living veterans who served their country honorably during war or peacetime.

★ States designate their own holidays, so there are no official U.S. national holidays. The government can only designate holidays for federal employees and for the District of Columbia. But states almost always follow the federal lead.

MDC offers landowners in CWD area special seals to thin deer numbers

Special harvest provision is part of MDC effort to limit spread of CWD and collect test samples.

At its Oct. 19 meeting in Springfi eld, the Missouri Conservation Commission approved issuing special no-cost “CWD Management Seals” to landowners in the core area where Chronic Wasting Dis-ease (CWD) has been detected in Linn and Macon counties. The seals are a spe-cial harvest provision that is part of the Missouri Department of Conservation’s (MDC) proactive management plan to limit the spread of CWD.

CWD is a disease fatal to white-tailed deer. It is spread from deer to deer by physical contact, or through contact with soil that contains urine or feces from in-fected deer. The disease spreads across the landscape through the natural move-ment and dispersal of infected deer. CWD is not transmissible to domestic livestock or people.

The special harvest provision will help minimize the spread of CWD in the area, and contribute to MDC’s ongoing CWD sampling and testing of harvested deer. With the help of hunters, MDC has tested more than 35,000 free-ranging deer for CWD from all parts of the state since 2002.

According to the Department’s CWD management plan, the seals are limited to the 80 landowners with fi ve acres or more in and around a one-mile radius of where CWD has been detected. Each landowner will be offered fi ve seals. Each seal would allow the landowners, or hunters they authorize to hunt their lands, to harvest one deer of either sex. Each seal may only be used on the specif-ic property for which it was issued. Each seal can be used by any properly-licensed hunter who is hunting the specifi c prop-erty. Each seal can be used during any open deer season by any method legal at the time of use. The special seals are

Missouri Department of Conservation News

in addition to the no-cost resident land-owner permits already offered by MDC. All deer harvested using a seal must be checked using the Telecheck system, and a tissue sample must be submitted to MDC for CWD testing. MDC is contact-ing eligible landowners and will host an information meeting with them in early November.

Other actions MDC has taken to iden-tify and limit the spread of CWD in Mis-souri include a regulation that bans the feeding of deer and other activities that are likely to unnaturally concentrate white-tailed deer and promote the spread of CWD. The ban is limited to the six-county CWD Containment Zone, which consists of Adair, Chariton, Linn, Ma-con, Randolph and Sullivan counties. MDC has also rescinded the antler-point restriction (four-point rule) in the CWD Containment Zone. The Department has also issued recommendations on the pro-cessing and transportation of deer har-vested in the Containment Zone. MDC continues statewide and regional sam-pling of harvested deer to test for CWD. MDC has held numerous public open houses to share information and get feed-back on the issue of CWD and Depart-ment actions to contain the disease.

According to MDC, Missouri has more than 507,000 deer hunters who spend about $690 million in the state each year on deer hunting and related activities. This has an overall economic impact of $1.1 billion in Missouri each year and supports almost 12,000 jobs. Many Missourians also enjoy viewing deer. A 2009 Gallup survey found that about 91% of Missourians are somewhat or very interested in observing deer in the outdoors.

The Department continues to work with landowners, deer hunters, members of the captive cervid industry and oth-ers on the issue of CWD and welcomes related comments at www.mdc.mo.gov/node/17901.

FOR THE RECORDProposed Local Use Tax

City of La PlataPrimary Election

November 6, 2012On November 6, voters will go to the polls to decide if they support or oppose a 1.5 percent Local Use Tax for the City of La Plata. Beginning in July 1992 this tax was collected by the City, but recently the Missouri Supreme Court ruled that the citizens within each political subdivision (city or county) must vote to approve the tax in order for the political subdivision to continue collecting the tax. In the event a simple majority of voters approve the tax, it will be reinstated and the tax would be effective.

The following issues represent some of the most frequently asked question concerning the Local Use Tax and the answers are intended to provide the citizens of La Plata with some general information concerning this tax.

Does La Plata’s existing local sales tax apply to goods purchased in other states?

No. La Plata does not apply a sales tax to goods purchased in other states.

Why?

La Plata does not have the legal authority to apply a local sales tax to goods purchased in other states.

What is a Local Use Tax?

This is a tax on most goods which are purchased in other states (not Missouri). This tax takes the place of a local sales tax.

Who pays the Local Use Tax?

Individuals and businesses in La Plata would pay the Local Use Tax when they purchase goods in other states and the goods are delivered to Missouri.

Is a Local Use Tax applies to “all” goods purchased in other states?

No. Any goods purchased within Missouri which are exempt from Missouri’s sales tax and La Plata’s sales tax would also be exempt from La Plata’s Local Use Tax in the event the same type of goods is purchased in the other states.

Can La Plata tax goods which are purchased in other states?

Yes. If the citizens of La Plata approve the Local Use Tax, then the 1.5 percent tax would apply to most goods purchased in other states.

Is a Local Use Tax legal?

Yes. In 1996, the Missouri General Assembly enacted Sections 144.757 through 144.761 RSMO, which authorize citizens to pass a Local Use Tax. This law was passed in response to the Missouri Supreme Court’s recent decision.

Will the 1.5 percent Local Use Tax rate ever change?

If the citizens of La Plata vote to decrease or increase the existing sales tax rate, the Local Use Tax rate would decrease or increase and the Local Use Tax would always equal the same rate as the city’s sales tax.

How is the Local Use Tax collected?

If the out-of-state business (seller) does not have a facility in Missouri, the La Plata buyer (business or individual) will pay the Local Use Tax at the end of each calendar year, but the tax is only paid if the La Plata buyer has more than $2,000 in out-of-state purchases during a calendar year, OR

If the out-of-state business (seller) has a facility in Missouri, the out-of-state business will collect the Local Use Tax at the time of each sale for all sales made to the La Plata buyer. Therefore, when the out-of-state business has a facility in Missouri, the $2,000 exclusion amount does not apply.

In other words, the Local Use Tax is only paid by the La Plata buyer (business or individual) when purchases are from an out-of-state business and that business has a facility in Missouri OR if the La Plata buyer has more than $2,000 in purchases during a calendar year and these purchases were made from out-of-state sellers who do not have a facility in Missouri, then the La Plata buyer will report the Use Tax at the end of the year on a Missouri Department of Revenue form. This form is included in the Missouri personal income tax packets which are mailed to citizens in November/December each year.

How will La Plata receive the Local Use Tax revenue?

The Missouri Department of Revenue will collect the tax for La Plata, retain a small collection fee, and send the remaining tax revenue to the City.

How much revenue will the City receive if the Local Use Tax is approved by the voters?

The exact amount of revenue will vary each year depending upon out-of-state purchases made by individuals and businesses in La Plata.

Is the Local Use Tax fair?

Individuals and businesses making purchases of goods within La Plata must pay the City’s existing sales tax. Individuals and businesses currently making purchases of certain goods in other states, however, do not pay the sales tax or a use tax and, therefore the out-of-state businesses have a tax advantage over the La Plata businesses which sell the same type of goods. A Local Use Tax merely establishes a level tax base for businesses within La Plata and the businesses located in other states.

Does the La Plata City Council support the passage of the Local Use Tax?

Yes. On August 24, 2012 the City Council unanimously approved an ordinance in support of the passage of the Local Use Tax.

A new quote I live by these days is “Life is not about waiting for the storms to pass…it’s about learning how to dance in the rain.” The holidays bring a continuum of ex-periences and emotions ranging from joy and laughter to sadness and pain and everything in-be-tween. There are strategies we can practice to help us “dance in the rain” of all the busyness, joys and stresses that come along with the holiday season.

“Beat the Holiday Stress” is a one-hour lunch and learn to be held on Wednesday, November 7 and Wednesday, No-vember 14 from 12:00 noon (come as soon as you can) to 12:50 p.m. The same program will be offered each time so you may choose the date that works better for you. Bring your lunch to enjoy while we meet. The pro-gram will be held at the

Lunch And Learn

Macon County Extension Center which is located at 514 E Briggs Drive, Suite D, across from Bank Mid-west in Macon. Resources bags will be given out to participants. Registration is required. You may call the offi ce at 660-385-2173 and leave your name or email me at [email protected].

The program is based on a University of Mis-souri curriculum entitled “Taking Care of You-Body, Mind and Spirit”. We will learn strategies that help us cope with stressors in our lives, es-pecially as they pertain to the holidays.
