Lynn Hodges has been appointed the next CEO/Manager of RCEC.

Hodges currently serves RCEC as its Assistant Manager. Hodges will as-sume the duties of CEO/Manager on April 1, 2015 upon the retirement of RCEC’s current CEO/Manager, Daniel Strode who has served RCEC for over 29 years.

Hodges joined RCEC as economic development officer just over twelve years ago. Appointed COO when the cooperative got into the business of in-ternet, overseeing the implementation of Wildblue and later Rallstech.

As COO he oversaw the govern-ment stimulus project, which brought $20,000,000 worth of fiber optic inter-net into Ralls County homes. RCED is now offering electricity, internet, and phone services to rural Ralls County-ians-1400 Miles of electric, 1000 miles of fiber.

Hodges father was career military and his mother originally from Han-nibal. The family moved here in early 70s. Graduated from Hannibal High School and Hannibal LaGrange Col-lege. He got his Masters from William Woods-all while working full time at Buckhorn, where he “started as the

lowest paid employee in the place and twenty one years later was running the manufacturing facility.”

He is married to the former Tammie Murphy of Center, they have 3 chil-dren, and have lived in Ralls for more than 20 years.

Looking ahead Hodges says he would like to see some improvements with some internal functions within the office. RCEC has great reputation for being there for the community-like

helping 911 get loan, helping MACC get a fairly large loan from feds for Red Lake Program. Investment in fiber.

“Really just to carry on the tradi-tion of what this coop has meant to the community. Every manager come in with the emphasis of controlling the cost of power, the cost to consumer, but you have to weight that against the reliability of the electric service.”

As to the future of electricity “there is still a big push for green energy here.” Several folks on their system deploy windmills and more recently solar. There’s a great deal of interest in solar now. The economics are not quite there yet. As demand grows the price will come down on solar. Several individuals on the RCEC system em-ploy solar or wind power. We are so tied to coal, and coal isn’t necessarily the greenest of energies, but until we as a nation come up with a long term strategy. I see coal playing a fairly large part in our base load demands. We as a coop family we’ve deployed wind-mills in Missouri, we buy power from those. If there is a growing trend going on now it is going back to solar energy. But with the current economics, right now, I just don’t see it.”

Front row: Jenna Ross, Wyatt Mayes, Kyle Kendall, Emerson Oglesby, and Rosie Peters. Back Row: Jaclyn Shoemyer, Adelynn Palmer, Madison Epperson, Raven Dorsey, and Jamie-Lynn Haley.

Guests were welcomed to Center Ele-mentary to celebrate their first Leader in Me Habit Hero assembly. Ten students were recognized for exhibiting the “7 Habits of Happy Kids”. Mr. Hull, Center Elementary principal stated that, “Mak-ing the choice of who to recognize has been a difficult task as there are so many students who are working hard to live the habits at our school.” Over the next four months, Center Elementary will

continue to recognize students who are daily rising to the challenge of stepping up as leaders.

The first Habit Hero announced was Kyle Kendall. Kyle is a second grader in Mrs. Hathaway’s classroom and is the son of Kenny and Susan Kendall of Cen-ter. He is the grandson of Barbara and Kenny Kendall.

Kyle is a wonderful example of what it means to be a leader. In the mornings,

he comes into the classroom prepared for the day and ready to learn. When Kyle is given directions, he is “proactive” and “puts first things first”. Kyle always tries his best and gives 100% on every task. He works hard at school so that he can have fun later. Kyle does a great job of “synergizing” with his classmates. He

NEMO Task Force Announces Recent Drug ArrestsThe Northeast Missou-

ri Narcotics Task Force began an investigation approximately one and a half months ago concern-ing certain individuals using and selling heroin in the Marion County area. During this inves-tigation the Task Force was able purchase heroin and methamphetamine from those individuals selling the controlled sub-stances. This investigation also led to the search of residences where hero-in, methamphetamine and methadone were also seized. The amount of heroin seized could have produced over 800 cap-sules of heroin, which is

how it is commonly sold, with a street value of any-where between $8000 - $12,000.00. On Wednes-day, February 11, 2015, the Northeast Missouri Narcotics Task Force, assisted by the Marion County Sheriff ’s Depart-ment, executed a search warrant at 1514 Sierra Street, Hannibal, Marion County, Missouri. During the search warrant, her-oin, methamphetamine and drug parapherna-lia were found. Ryan Thompson, Jessy Brown and Randy Brown Jr. were arrested at the scene. A short time later, the Task Force arrested Samuel Foust at 1912 Chestnut

Street, Hannibal, Missou-ri. The four subjects were transported to the Marion County Sheriff ’s Depart-ment where they were placed on a 24 hour hold.

During this same in-vestigation, the Task Force conducted a search at 2513 Fulton Avenue, Hannibal, Missouri. The search resulted in a large

amount of raw heroin, methadone and drug par-aphernalia being seized.

On Thursday, Febru-ary 12, 2015, the Mari-on County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office filed charges on the following: Samuel Foust - charged with two counts of sale of a controlled substance (Class B Felonies) and one count of Possession of a Controlled Sub-stance with Intent to De-liver (Class B Felony), Joshua D. “JD” Foust was charged with Pos-session of a Controlled Substance with Intent to Deliver (Class B Felony), and Ryan Thompson was charged with Possession of a Controlled Substance (Class C Felony). Marion County Associate Circuit Judge John Jackson issued

warrants and bonds in the amount of $100,000 cash only for all three sub-jects. Samuel Foust and Ryan Thompson remain lodged in the Marion County Jail. Joshua Foust has not been located or arrested. If anyone knows his whereabouts, they are encouraged to contact the Northeast Missouri Nar-cotics Task Force at 573-221-5200 or the Marion County Sheriff ’s Office at 573-221-6400. More ar-rests and charges may be pending. All suspects are considered innocent until proven guilty

NEMO Task Force Announces Recent Arrests

THE HANSEN REPORTSTATE REP. JIM HANSEN

After seeing the mov-ie “American Sniper” and watching Navy Seal snip-er Chris Kyle talking to his wife on a cell phone while in an intense com-bat, I asked the question if this would be possible. Colonel Don “Doc” Bal-lard, a Navy Corpsman assigned to the Marines in Viet Nam and recipi-ent of the Medal of Hon-

or, stated that if a Navy Seal wanted to make a call they could do so, stating the Navy Seals had their own officers, but took no orders from the chain of command. Ballard went on to say the Navy Seals were the most elite spe-cial forces in the world, which required 24 months of intensive training so rigid that very few who

started out completed the 24 months and became a Seal.

John Phillips from Oak Grove, who was a Ma-rine, served two tours in the Gulf War and is cur-rently the Commander of American Legion Post 379, served two years with a Navy Seal unit on a ship making amphibious land-ings in different locations in the world. He said if the Seals wanted to make a call they could do so, but said the Marines and the Army could not.

When I was in the Army Infantry, there was no such thing as Seals. However, the Army did have the Rangers, a sim-ilar unit. Our Company Commander was a West Point, Airborn, Ranger, and had the respect of the entire Company. To-

day, the Army still has the Rangers, the Navy has Seals, Marines have Recon, and the Air Force has a para-rescue unit. All these special forces must go through the Army Airborn training at Fort Benning, Georgia. This particular training at Fort Benning by all branches of the military was made possible by the late Con-gressman Ike Skelton when he wrote and got passed the Goldwater/Nichols Act which al-lowed all services to train at an Army base or visa versa. This Act saved the taxpayers millions of dol-lars.

To condemn Rudy Gi-uliani for expressing his personal opinion of Pres-ident Obama would be tantamount to support-ing ISIS or the terrorist rampage against Charlie Hebdo. When our world ceases to support free ex-pression of any person’s viewpoint in a civilized, nonviolent manner; the idealism of Voltaire – and indeed, the very found-ers of the United States of America – is seized ‘round its neck by the iron fist of privileged suppres-sion. The axiom, “It is bet-ter to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt,” is an open-ended venue for all. Some hide within the timid herd. Some hang themselves out to dry in their own

tangled web. Some fool-ishly open Pandora’s Box. Some breathe upon the embers of the flame of truth until it’s ablaze.

Most often, the sorting can only be accomplished when all are exposed to the waft of articulation and the chaff blows aim-lessly from the kernels of truth.

Clearly, Giuliani has taken the path not com-fortable to most career politicians. But just as aghast as timid Repub-licans are at his staunch stance, the same party (AP Alanna Durkin) is likewise angry at their own reps (Poliquin of Maine, Dold of Illinois, and Katko of New York) because they refused to vote to repeal Obamacare. Poliquin’s explanation,

“Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.” (He believes a replacement needs to be developed first.) But the GOP is not the only par-ty that sometimes gets its ears over its eyes and can’t see the teleprompter or the look on constituents’ faces.

Democrats aren’t say-ing much about the ad-ministration’s hissy tan-trum over the address to Congress by Israeli Prime Minister Netanya-hu. Some Democrats plan to boycott. White House cabinet members will be conveniently out of the country, and the Vice President will present the same invisible image as he did at the Charlie Hebdo march. No word wheth-er the President will be overflying Israel enroute to the Mideast as before, but it’s rumored that the golf course in Yemen is now closed. While a large number of “broke to neck-rein” Demos dutifully car-ry on the snub which is raising many Jewish eye-brows in the U.S., there is a general Democratic frustration on Capitol Hill at the latest screw-up by Healthcare.gov. It seems that some 800,000

.gov customers were sent the wrong tax informa-tion that puts them in “tax filing limbo” and refunds on indefinite. White House spokesman Josh Earnest assured that the impact was, “small.” (AP Richard Alonso-Zaldivar) Mr. Earnest either did not deal with .gov or have plans for his refund. (Like paying the heat bill.)

Yes, the Siberian Ex-press (also known as the Putin “Cold Shoulder”) has arrived. Although the Inuits are “into it” the rest of us don’t really care for the whirring sound of our utility meters.

“How Cold Was It?” To answer that ques-

tion, we turn to the late G.D. (that’s Gabriel Dan-iel) Farenheit. He pop-ularized thermometers using ethyl alcohol and later, mercury (now banned) and gave us a scale of temperature mea-surement having nothing to do with witches or well diggers.

Of course, there are also thermometers cali-brated in the scale devised by Anders Celsius. Of the two scales, which has the potential to be the most precise measurement of temperature?

One more weekend of basketball and I’m realiz-ing how age is catching up to me. I now need to get up and stretch and walk around between games. But, in my defense, the day spanned almost eight and a half hours. It was worth it though, even with the promise of spring, I can’t think of a better way to spend a day than to watch young ath-letes play basketball.

Last week I attended the first of the scheduled Master Gardeners classes held in Center. Introduc-tions gave as many rea-sons for taking the class as there were people in at-tendance. Vegetable gar-dening was a top priority.

Flower beds were a close second and some brave souls have landscaping plans. The large notebook is full of information, a blend of what you learned from your parents and what science has done to improve those tried and tested ways. And then the snow hit. What a slap in the face from Mother Nature, as if to tell us we needn’t get in a hurry to till the soil. But if those in the class are an indication of the general populace, we are in a hurry. I, for one, want luscious toma-toes and beautiful flowers – and I want them now, please.

Last week the paper featured an article on a

young New London na-tive, William Jackson, who gave a vocal and pi-ano recital last Sunday at the Hannibal Arts Center. Those who were fortunate enough to attend were rewarded with an excel-lent performance. Several who had known William while he was a student at Mark Twain High School remarked on the exqui-site maturity evident in his performance. How fortunate Ralls County is to have such a talent-ed young man call it his home.

Looking ahead, there will be many opportu-nities to encourage and support our young peo-ple. While some young players will continue to play basketball on travel-ing teams, others will be swinging bats and field-ing baseballs. Some will trade sprinting down the court to sprinting around the track. There will be art shows and music con-certs, field trips and end of the year exams. All blending together to keep our young people fo-cused and well-rounded.

It looks as if my aching knees and back will just have to deal with what lies ahead.

I recently read an arti-cle in TIME that suggest-ed babies born now could live to be 142 years old. It was full of scientific bab-ble and nutrition guide-lines, and the impetus to exercise, exercise and exercise more. I wonder if watching my grandchil-dren pound the court and race the bases counts as exercise? The article also touted the need to keep the mind flexible with reading and crosswords. That, I can do.

So, I will scan the seed catalogs and plan my flower beds and raised beds of tomatoes and peppers. I will write and I will practice my music. Most of all, I will be the cheerleader in the bleach-ers and in the recital hall. And I will exercise, as soon as it gets warm enough to start walking again. No matter what age I reach, I want to do as much as I can to enjoy the journey.

Last weekend I had the opportunity to at-tend several district events and meet with constituents.

Boy Scout Josh Kemp-ke was given the rank of Eagle Scout on Sunday, Feb. 15. The ceremony took place at the Ma-sonic Lodge in Bowling Green, Mo. Josh is the son of Paul and Melissa Kempke. They must be proud of his determi-nation. It was an honor to attend the event and present Josh with a res-olution that recognizes his achievement. Con-gratulations, Josh. Hard-working young people like you give me hope for the future.

The Pike County Health Department held the Home Health and Hospice Foundation Valentine’s Gala on Fri-day, Feb. 13, as well. It was a great event with a big turnout that benefit-ted the non-profit Home Health and Hospice Foundation Board. An auction raised $45,000 to support the health department. It was en-couraging to see com-munity members get in-volved to support such a worthy cause.

Martin Hanley, Di-rector of the Pike-Lin-coln Technical Center, visited the Capitol on Wednesday, Feb. 11. Hanley’s Technical Cen-ter offers career, tech-nical, and community education to residents of Pike,

Lincoln and sur-rounding counties. As a strong supporter of tech-nical education, it was great to meet with Mr. Hanley and discuss ways his institution is helping to prepare students for careers in fields that in-terest them. I also met with all the superinten-dents from the schools in the 40th District on Friday, Feb. 20. We dis-cussed legislation that could affect education this session. Addition-ally, Pike County may-ors and I met that day at City Hall in Bowling Green. It is always nice to meet with local offi-cials and stay informed on issues affecting their communities.

This past week at the Capitol was also event-ful as members continue to debate and vote on legislation.

House Joint Resolu-tion 1 would establish voter identification in Missouri after being approved by voters and

was passed by the House this week. House Bill 30, sponsored by Rep. Tony Dugger, would estab-lish the guidelines for how voter identification would be implement-ed. It was also passed. I voted in support of both pieces of legislation.

House Bill 130, Rep. Holly Rehder’s drug monitoring legislation, was approved and voted out of the Select Com-mittee on Insurance this week. If passed by the Senate, Missouri will become the 50th state to implement such a program. At this point in time, we are the only state without it.

House Bill 325, spon-sored by Rep. John McCaherty, is another bill we heard. It would establish the Bring Jobs Home Act and autho-rize a tax deduction for out-of-state businesses that relocate to Missou-ri. The bill has been ap-proved and passed out of the Committee on Small Business. I was in support of the bill.

House Bills 513 and 379 were also passed by the committee. The bills would modify pro-visions relating to busi-ness filing fees and re-quire statements of no tax due to be presented with local business li-cense issuances or re-newals, respectively.

In closing, I wanted to clear up some con-fusion about Rep. Tony Dugger’s House Bill 29. Many have called to ex-press opposition to the bill with the belief that it would raise foreign ownership of Missouri

farmland above the current 1 percent cap. In reality, the bill does not change the percentage. Several bills have been filed by House mem-bers that would actual-ly decrease foreign land ownership. Sen. Brian Munzlinger’s Senate Bill 292 would lower the amount to 0.5 percent. I am in support of Senate Bill 292.

Thank you for your support. As always, my door is open for those who need assistance or have concerns.

Working on your be-half,

Representative Jim Hansen

TOP - Classroom building of the Strother Institute in Perry, Missouri. It opened in 1885 and operated until 1894 when it was bought and used as the Perry Public School until 1914 when the new brick school was built.

BOTTOM - A memorial to Professor and Mrs. French Strother was dedicated on June 24, 1930, in front of the Perry Public School. It was unveiled by their daughter, Mrs. Albert Strother Warden, of Richland, Louisiana. About forty former students attended the dedication.

Professor French Strother was the son of Captain French Stroth-er, a well-known family of Virginia. He was ed-ucated in the Universi-ty of Virginia located at Charlottesville. In 1850 he came west. Bring his mule team and salves, locating in St. Charles Missouri. Soon after his arrival, he was made President of Linden-wood Ladies College. A few years later his father came to Missouri, locat-ing in Callaway County. As time passed, Profes-sor Strother moved to Monroe County, where he conducted a flour-ishing private boarding school, in a little town, named Strother, named in his honor. The school burned January 1, 1885. After being urged by cit-izens of Perry to locate here and open a school, he consented, coming in 1885. The citizens of the

community purchased a tract of land about eight acres, donating it for the campus of the new school. Two substantial frame buildings were erected, by liberal dona-tions of citizens, assisted by Mr. Strother, person-ally. This private school for boys and girls be-came known as Strother Institute. The founders were: James Gallaher, J.A. Clark, Dr. E. S. Arm-strong, Dr. John Bledsoe, William Ely, Thomas F. Gill, Judge Edwin Hub-bard, George Judy, M. P. LaFrance, W. H. Myers, James W. Neville, T. J. Pettitt, S. B. Smith, Judge J. H. Underwood, Joshua Ward and Aaron F. Ward. The first term of the school opened in the fall of 1885. The first gradu-ation was Miss Mamie Davis, who graduated in June 1886. the class of June 1887 was composed of H. P. Warden, E. Spar-

row and Miss Ida Smith (Mrs. J. M. Greening), the school was under Mrs. Strother’s manage-ment for six years, when according to an agree-ment with the founders, the building and grounds became his property. He continued at the head of the school until March 1891. In April of 1892, Mr. Strother sold the school to Hubert P. War-den. In May of that year, a board of education was organized, to whom Mr. Warden leased the prop-erty. The board in con-nection with Mr. Warden began a search for a com-petent man to take charge of the school. They select-ed Professor T. E. Peters, Principal of Shelbina In-stitute as Superintendent and Professor Lon W. Martin as first assistant. It was known as Perry Institute. During 1892, Mrs. E. S. Brooks was boarding house manager.

The school was discon-tinued later becoming a public school. Professor Strother was a prominent educator of Missouri, for more than fifty years. He died in Mexico Missouri, in 1916 and was buried at New Hope Church in Monroe County, near the little town of Strother. Through contributions of former students, a sun-dial was erected on the campus of the high school, as a memorial to Mr. Strother and his wife Susan A. Strother, who more than forty years be-fore, had founded Stroth-er Institute. On Tuesday, June 24, 1930, this me-morial was unveiled by the founder’s daughter, Mrs. Alberta Strother Warden, Richland, Loui-siana, who came to Perry with her parents and was a student of the school. About forty former stu-dents were present at the unveiling.

By Dan CassidyMissouri is blessed

with an abundance of natural resources. From mighty rivers and clear flowing streams to oak forests and rolling hills, outdoor enthusiasts have options aplenty. Yet our good fortune should not be taken for granted and ways to improve land stewardship must never be discounted. Unfor-tunately, state legislators’ efforts to shed light on growing discontent with the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) have been mischarac-terized as an attempt to eliminate authority and funding rather than in-crease accountability and transparency.

Roughly two-thirds of the state’s six million res-idents live in urban areas. Yet, unlike western states, the majority of Missou-ri land is owned by pri-vate citizens—93 percent of the state’s 44 million acres. Yes, there are size-able public holdings, but successful land manage-ment must incorporate private landowners.

In 1976, the Missouri Constitution was amend-ed to create a dedicated funding source for MDC. The department is fund-ed in large part by a one-eighth of 1 percent sales tax to the tune of about $105 million in fiscal year 2014. The General As-sembly approves MDC’s budget each year, yet this is largely ceremonial as suggestions are not en-couraged. The chasm created in recent years with legislators who have become frustrated with MDC has grown, and more bills are introduced each session to force changes within the de-partment.

Legislators are not act-ing alone or out of spite. Many people, including those who actually own and manage our natural resources, recognize and appreciate the expertise MDC brings to the table, but have become disen-chanted as their concerns seem to have gone un-heard. A quick reading of policies adopted by Farm Bureau members reveals several concerns along

with two actions that, if adopted, would go a long way toward restoring trust in the department.

First, the one-eighth cent conservation sales tax should be subject to a statewide vote every 10 years. We are not calling for the tax to be eliminat-ed, but believe that ear-marked tax issues should never be placed in the Missouri Constitution unless there are provi-sions for automatic, peri-odic voter review. This is hardly a novel idea as the one-tenth cent soil and parks tax is placed on the ballot every decade. Lest anyone think this is Tro-jan elk, the soils and parks tax has passed every time with votes to spare in re-

cent elections. To keep things fair, and again mir-ror the soils and parks tax, no taxpayer dollars should be used in the campaigns for or against continuation of the con-servation sales tax.

Second, the size and nature of the Conserva-tion Commission should be changed. Currently, the commission is com-prised of four people ap-pointed by the Governor. Commission meetings are an exercise in futility — requests to present com-ments must not only be submitted, but approved in advance. Witnesses say their piece to commis-sioners who sit in silence, ask no questions and offer no feedback. Increasing the number of commis-sioners will not make the body more hospitable, but it will assure better repre-sentation for all areas of the state. Changing the culture of MDC officials to be more receptive of those with concerns or suggestions doesn’t re-quire legislation, but would be a step in the right direction.

MDC and its propo-nents quickly circle the wagons when state legis-lators and others signal discontent. To support-ers, you are with them or you are not…there is no middle ground. Sadly, this stifles progress and ignores many real con-servationists around the state — those who own and manage the land.

Winter CampIn the old story of

Abram & Lot found in Gen 13. Abram is on a journey to a land in which the Lord said he would show him. They have pulled up on a hill-side overlooking the plain of Jordon and made a winter camp. Strife be-gins to breakout between Abrams herdsmen and Lots herdsmen and the herdsmen that who were already in the land, over water, pasture and such. Abram decides for the sake of peace and every ones well being to sepa-rate. His words of peace to Lot are, “Is not the whole land before you. Please separate from me. If you take the left, then I will go to the right. If you go to the right, I will go to the left.” Lot chooses the flat well watered plain of Jordon. And as he leaves with his kin and stock.

Peace falls on Abrams camp. Times for separa-tion still come in our time also. Disputes, bankrupt-cies, divorces, unruly chil-dren situations of age and health and circumstances still cause a time to sep-arate to come. As Abram watches Lot descend into one of the most produc-tive landscapes of his time the Lord says lookup from the place where you are and then makes an everlasting covenant with him

Question. Are you fac-ing a time of separation? Psalm 121 has the words that have always helped me during my times of separation.

I will lift up my eyes to the hills from whence comes my help. {Help always comes from on high.}

Thanks LordPastor Time Sanders Ariel

Deacon Jack Watson gave the welcome to all and made announcements. Bi-ble study this Wednesday is at 1 a.m. Friday, Febru-ary 27, at 5:30 p.m. will be our ham and bean supper. (Bring dessert unless you are already signed up for cornbread. Beans will be cooked at church.) Also, if you want to join in, we are having a game night after supper. Bring your board game, dominos etc. Many of us are in need of some mid-winter gai-ety. Last Monday New Oalkland church singers went to the Monroe City Manor to entertain some of the residents and oth-ers for the evening. As always, we had a great time. The residents and friends seemed to have a good time, too.

Prayer requests were read and the Invocation given.

Special music guest this Sunday was Mr. Bill Brooks. He sang, “You Don’t Have to Walk on Water,” and Tell Me One More Time About Jesus.”

Led by our Oakland Singers the congregation sang “When The Roll Is Called Up Yonder,” “There Is Power

Pastor’s message To-day was from Psalms 25: 1 – 22, a time of struggle in King David’s life. This relates to us even now. So many struggles we have in our lives, many brought on by our own lack of trusting in God totally. We all need to de-sire to TRUST God to lead us. We so often hinder that which God has put in us,” The Holy Spirit.” It is hard for us to grasp “How God can forget our sins.” Jesus paid the penalty for all our sins, by this God forgets our iniquities. (The wages of sin is death.) The sac-rifice and resurrection of Jesus gave those of us who have accepted the gift of salvation, another gift. Remember that Jesus said that He had to leave and

go to His Father in Heav-en so that the Comforter could come. God filled us with His Spirit. Seek Him always. Speak to Him al-ways. It is when we seek God’s will in our lives, we seek strength, wisdom, we get ourselves more in tune to hear. Ask him anything that is according to what He has said. Be honest with God. Prayer will bring you to a spiritu-al sensitivity to know the Holy Spirit. Pray for peace and divine guidance for spiritual discernment. We will be asking for God’s guidance until our last breath. Hopefully we will live the life that our Lord has told us to lead, be an example to our children and to others. Let them see the joy there is in a heart that is filled to over flowing with the Lord’s love and our own love for Jesus. Many read their Bi-bles at home, and that is good. But, there is noth-ing like being with others that share the same joy as you do.

This song just came to mind, a song that I learned in Sunday School as a child. It goes like this, “Lord the light of your love is shining. In the midst of the darkness shining. Jesus, Light of the world, shine upon us. Set us free by the truth You now bring us; Shine on me. Shine on me. Shine Jesus shine, fill this land with the Father’s glory; Blaze Spirit Blaze. Set our hearts on Fire.”

(ACTS 4:20) For we are unable to stop speaking about what we have seen and heard.

Come and join us in the Worship of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Sunday school is at 9:45 a.m. - 10:45 a.m. Morning Worship Service is at 11:00 a.m. We have a Wednes-day morning Bible Study at 10:00 a.m. weekly. Our lovely church is located off route J on Oakland Road. That’s right behind the Landing Water Park.

Our worship service began with the choir singing “This is the Day” accompanied by Marilyn Lucas. Pastor Tom gave the welcome & shared upcoming events. He then led the responsive call to worship. The hymn of praise “There’s Within My Heart a Melody” was followed by the invoca-tion and Lord’s prayer. Worship hymn was “Are Ye Able: Said the Mas-ter”. Our recent prayer concerns include Dave Jarman, Jim White, Lau-ri Britt, Frank Epperson, Lucas Utterback, Shirley Niemeyer, Sharon Ayers, the family of “Jigger” Robertson, the family of Alice Alexander, our men and women serving in the military and all of those who were unable to wor-ship with us today. Our blessing is for our city street crews & others who have been busy removing the snow and clearing the streets after the recent snow storm. They have done an excellent job and we appreciate them. The pastoral prayer was then

offered by Pastor Tom.In preparation for the

Lord’s supper, Pastor Tom gave the meditation and words of institution. The communion prayer was “Jesus, Keep Me Near the Cross”. Those serving at the Lord’s table today were Eunie Whitaker, Becky Jarman, Cindy Day and Jim Quinlin. Roger Stout offered the elder’s prayer. Pastor Tom gave the offertory sentence and prayer of dedication after the receiving of the tithes & offerings.

Scripture chosen by Pastor Tom for today’s service was from 1 Peter 3:8-9 and his message was “Be a Brave Adven-turer.” We all are God’s chosen ones. We need to have love & concern for each other. Don’t follow those who are hateful and shout insults. Instead, be humble & treat everyone with kindness. Our hymn of invitation was “Just As I Am” and was followed by the benediction. We welcome all of our friends & neighbors to join with us each Sunday at 11a.m.

Services February 22 began with Lay Leader JoAnn Neuschafer, shar-ing the following an-nouncements:

We celebrate our Uni-ty with Palmyra Christian Church today, we wel-come them. March 1 our lay speaker will be Elaine Kuntz. CWF will meet March 3rd at 2PM in the church basement with Betty McClintock as host-ess, ALL women of the church are invited to at-tend.

Guest minister Leanne Reed lead the to Worship with the congregation re-sponding. The children’s sermon relayed the con-cept that we all have Je-sus’ light within us but we need to his strength to let it shine through. Ms. Reed then lead the silent prayer, prayed the pasto-ral prayer and the congre-gation joined in the Lord’s

Prayer.The congregation then

joined in the hymn “We Sing the Greatness of Our God“. The Old Testament reading was Genesis 9:8-17, followed by the con-gregational response with the Gloria Patria. The New Testament reading was 1 Peter 3:18-22 fol-lowed by the congrega-tional hymn “Alas! And Did My Savior Bleed“. Today’s message was pro-vided by Ms. Reed.

The congregation joined in the communion hymn “When I Survey The Wondrous Cross”. Elder Linda Peters gave the communion prayer with JoAnn Neuschafer, Faye Whitaker, Betha-ny Clarkson and Wiley Hibbard serving at the Lord’s Table. The offer-ing, doxology and prayer of Thanksgiving followed communion. The con-gregation joined in the hymn “Jesus Calls Us” for the closing hymn.

The service ended with the congregation singing “ Let There Be Peace on Earth”. A delicious meal in the fellowship hall fol-lowed the service and was enjoyed by all. Services are held every Sunday at 9 a.m. and all are welcome to join in worship. Olivet Christian Church is locat-ed at 200 North Foster in Center.

The worship hour for the Perry Christian Church, February 22, be-gan with the choir singing “Heaven Came Down”. Bonnie Berry was our pi-anist. Fran Schnarre was the guest minister.

Our Trivia Night is re-scheduled for March 6 at 7:30pm.

Arlen Provancha opened the Lenten Sea-son bygiving the reason for the candle ceremony. He then extinquished the first candle.

Pastor Schnarre led the Call to Worship.

The Praise hymn, “All in All” was sung. On Feb-ruary 24 Mary and Leroy Young will celebrate their 70th wedding anniversa-ry.

“The Light of the World is Jesus” was the prayer hymn. Lauri Britt, Gene Carter, Norman Seal and Amanda John-son were new concerns. Our sympathy is for the family of Jigger Robert-son. Joe Wayne Dodge is now at Monroe Manor

in Paris. “Turn Your Face Upon Jesus” was the re-sponse.

The Communion hymn, “Victory In Jesus” was sung in preparing to share the Lord’s Supper. The meditation was given by Pastor Schnarre.

“Love Lifted Me” was the choir’s special music.

Arlen was assisted by Tristan Johnson as he presented the children’s moment on Jesus, as the ‘light of the world’. “This Little Light of Mine” was sung before prayer.

Matthew 25:31-46, and Luke 16:19-31 was chosen by the pastor as she gave her sermon on the “Week of Compassion”. Using our imagination in living as those less fortunate create the compassion

for others as we ob-serve this Week of Com-passion.

“He Lives” was the invitation hymn. Sing-ing “When We All Get to Heaven” closed the ser-vice.

Services Sun., Febru-ary 15 began with Patti Grimmett playing “My Faith Looks Up To Thee” followed by Pastor John Grimmett leading in prayer for Amanda Grim-mett; Jeannene; little Mat-tie; Max Tilt; the Middle East situation; the world; Shirley Thornhill mov-ing to Hawk Point; and all sang Happy Birthday to Bobby Gash; all saying the Call to Worship from Psalm 25; the Unison Prayer and all saying the Lord’s Prayer.

Debbie Carey led in song to “Jesus the Very Thought of Thee”, “Jesus Paid It All”, “Near the Cross” and “When I Sur-vey the Wondrous Cross”.

Pastor John and Pat-ti sang “The Wonderful Cross” as he played guitar.

The Message “A Cradle, A Cross, A Savior” was based on Scripture from 1 Peter 3:18-22 as Lenten Season is upon us... look-ing toward spring and Easter! From the cradle to the cross where Jesus memory lives after the third day where He arose. Lent is forty days of time where one could tithe of their time - to re-connect

with God! Spend more time in prayer... how we should be living the rest of the year! God is try-ing to get us to open our eyes to the things Jesus has done! We are washed and clean by the resurrec-tion of Jesus - He came to die for you and for me! JESUS IS LORD! Lent is being brought home to God where you belong... What good is fasting if you continue to live your life in the same way? Help those in trouble - Re-member Jesus paid it all... His life... but resurrect-ed - HE LIVES TODAY! How many hours did you spend with God this week?

Offertory was led by Bobby Gash as Patti played “Just As I Am”.

Patti played “Fairest Lord Jesus/Alleluia What a Savior” as all retired in fellowship to Roth Hall for coffee and donuts.

Services are held every Sunday at 9 a.m. and all are invited to come hear the word of the Lord. South Fork is located 7 miles west of Perry on Hwy 154 then 2 miles south on blacktop E.

Ralls County RII School Board Meets

WILEY HIBBARD

Pete Hilgenbrinck opened the February 12 board of education meeting at 7 p.m. with all members present.

Joshua Clark spoke to the board as a representa-tive of a local Iron Work-ers Local Union. Clark shared the process unions used to assign workers to projects including hiring workers near the loca-tion of the project. Clark also shared the fact that at last five graduates from Mark Twain High School. He hoped that the board members would keep these facts in mind as they considered bids for construction of the new elementary building.

Speaking on behalf of the students, staff nd administrators, Delores Woodhurst presented board members with cer-tificates and gifts in ap-preciation of their service to the school district.

Jacques Reynolds of Architechnics, Inc. pro-vided a summary of bids that were submitted Feb-ruary 5 for the construc-tion of the new elemen-tary school. Bids, with all add-on alternates includ-ed, were submitted by six companies for the follow-ing amounts:

$9,453,000 – Wright Construction Services, St. Peters, MO

$8,083,000 – ICS Con-struction Services, St.

Louis MO$7,969,000 – Orf Con-

struction, Bridgeton, MO$8,669,000 – PSR Con-

struction, Kirksville, MO$8,252,000 – Bleigh

Construction, Hannibal, MO

$8,354,000 – Demein Construction, Wentzville, MO

Orf Construction pro-vided the lowest bid for the project. Reynolds checked reference on Orf Construction, and this information was shared with the board. Positive references were received from the four references that were contacted. One of the references was from Moberly Area Communi-ty College (MACC) be-cause Orf Construction built the newly construct-ed building in Hannibal.

The board discussed various components of the project, including questions related to the construction funding, and functionality. Super-intendent Jarman pre-sented financial infor-mation for funding the project. Reynolds added that rebates would be re-ceived for the geothermal system and energy effi-cient lighting. He added that state statute dictates that the bid be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder.

A motion to award Bid O (base bid, alternate bid

1, alternate bid 2, alternate bid 3, and alternate bid 5) for 47,969,000 to Orf Construction for build-ing the new elementary school was unanimously passed.

The board also unan-imously passed motions to:

Set the date for the 2015 Commencement for Sunday, May 17, 2015;

Adopt Policy INC – Speakers at District Events, to meet the re-quirements of House Bill 1303, MSBA created pol-icy INC; and

Accept the resignation of Brook Hudson, math teacher at Mark Twain, effective at the end of the 2014-2015 school year.

The TAB (Teachers, Administrators, Board) Committee met on Wednesday, January 28, 2015. They reviewed staff survey results and final-ized a proposed calendar for the 2015-2016 school year. Since the calendar has a start date of more than ten calendar days prior to Labor Day, the district will hold a public hearing on March 12, at 7:00 p.m. regarding the start date for the 2015-2016 school year.

District Assessment Director, Delores Wood-hurst, provided an update of the 2015 MAP assess-ment plan’s implementa-tion in the district. Stu-

dents in grades 3-8 will take a MAP grade level assessment in English Language Arts and Math. Students in grades 5 and 8 will also take grade lev-el assessment in Science.

Other than the ACT, all grade level and EOC assessments will be administered online this year.

The Mark Twain FFA Chapter has been very busy this year! Some of these activities are Ag Olympics, trapshooting, attending Bradford farms, and our annual ice cream social, just to name a few. In August, Bailey Klise, Stetson Klise, Kennedy Jaspering, Clayton Rob-inson, Aliyah Kuda, and Jake McMillen all partici-pated in the Missouri State Fair. Jake McMillen’s side of bacon placed fourth in the youth bacon class. In September, we picked up trash along the road as part of the Missouri Adopt-A-Highway Program and ten members attended the Area V Leadership Con-ference in Bowling Green. While at Area Leadership Conference, we met new FFA members and learned strategies to better serve our FFA chapter. We also had the opportunity to work with the Nation-al FFA President, Brian Walsh, and were able to participate in Area V FFA Officer Clayton Robin-son’s small group activity.

We started off Octo-ber by attending the Area V Trapshoot. Our team advanced on to compete in the Northeast District FFA Trapshoot. The trap team that advanced to districts consisted of Ali-yah Kuda, Jake McMil-len, Kody Asquith, Aus-tin Willing, and Stetson Klise. Clayton Robinson, Cody Rubemeyer, Zach McBride, Wyatt Lewellen, Nick Davenport, Kenady Johnson, Kiley Johnson, Seth Harvey, Cole John-son, Brandon McCurdy, and Braxton Gilbert also participated in trapshoot-ing this year. Barnwarm-ing was held the next week. It was very fun and the whole school got to come and be a part of our organization. This year’s Barnwarming King and Queen were Wyatt John-son and Zoeie Epperson. National Convention was as usual, a huge hit with our FFA members. We traveled with Van-Far and Winfield FFA again this year and had the oppor-tunity to attend leadership sessions, the career show, a Justin Moore and Easton Corbin concert, a rodeo, and much more. The stu-dents who attended Con-vention included Marrissa Hiner, Emma Smith, Cor-by Eckler, Clayton Robin-son, Matt Taylor, Kennedy Jaspering, Aliyah Kuda, Abby Parsons, Toni Mar-tin, Stetson Klise, Bailey Klise, Caitlyn Reynolds, and Kelsey Keil.

Corby Eckler, Kristeen Simmons, and Clayton Robinson all participated in the Fall Public Speaking Contest. These students prepared and presented 6-8 minute speeches over sheep, pet breeding, or Young Farmers groups and then answered up to 5 minutes of questions afterward. Kristeen and Corby both received third their first year participat-ing. Clayton received first and placed second at Dis-tricts.

Just recently, we had the awesome opportunity to Christmas carol at Cen-ter’s nursing home. It was a fun time that I’m sure we will all remember. After we caroled at the nursing home, we did gift exchang-es and passed around gifts to all our friends. This year, we also raised mon-ey as part of a community service project to partic-ipate in the Giving Tree project at Walmart. Each class had collection cans and whichever officer re-ceived the most money got a pie to the face. Wyatt Lewellen, Clayton Robin-son, and Emily McBride received the top honors.

The new year started off with Greenhands (fresh-men members) attending the Greenhand Motiva-tional Conference hosted by the State FFA Officers. The students who attend-ed were Abby Parsons, Stetson Klise, Kristin Bra-nham, and Shelby Hayes.

National FFA Week is from February 22-28. For this year’s FFA week, we are going to church and Scottie’s Fun Spot on Sunday. Monday is FFA Apparel Day and Tuesday is Teacher Appreciation Day, as well as the day for our annual Supporter’s Breakfast at 6:30-8:00 am in the old Ag Building. Wednesday opens up ac-tivities to the entire school for our volleyball and dodgeball tournaments. Thursday is our video and board game night. Friday rounds out the week with Official Dress Day and serving an ice cream sun-dae bar to those students who chose to participate, as well as taking our group picture for the yearbook. Throughout the week, we celebrate our past and fu-ture accomplishments.

Mark Twain has ac-complished quite a lot so far this year. For exam-ple, we have four students who will be recognized at Missouri State FFA Con-vention in April as pro-ficiency award winners. The proficiency program recognizes excellence in the member’s Supervised Agricultural Experience Program. Emma Smith, Becky Pickett, Aliyah Kuda, and Clayton Rob-inson all won proficien-cy awards for their SAE. We are extremely proud of those FFA members. Emma, Becky, and Aliyah should be recognized for being awarded the State FFA Degree as well. We will have official confir-mation of their awards in March. The Mark Twain FFA chapter has a lot coming up. In the future, we will also be ready to compete in many Career Development Events for students to showcase their agricultural knowledge. From here, we may even compete at state competi-tion like last year. We are so excited for our upcom-ing events and we’re so happy that you all could be a part of it as outstand-ing supporters of the Mark Twain FFA Chapter!

January Center Elementary Habit Heroes Announced

never complains and is happy to work with ev-eryone. He is a great role model for other students in his class.

The second Habit Hero was Raven Dorsey. Raven is a fifth grader in Ms. Stu-art’s class and is the son of Shane and Amy Niffen of Center.

Raven was chosen for this honor for many rea-sons. First of all, he always works his hardest in class, no matter what distrac-tions may be going on. He also strives to do his best on his work. Raven uses the habit “Seek First to Understand, Then to be Understood” daily. He listens to other classmates when they are talking, never interrupts anyone, and always listens to full directions in class. Raven “synergizes” with his class-mates and other students around the school and helps with his little brother who is in first grade. Raven loves to draw, but he “puts first things first” by finish-ing his work in class and then asking if he can draw. Raven is new to Center El-ementary this year and has had to learn a new way of doing lots of things in our school. He has strived to learn and live the seven habits in and out of the classroom.

Jaclyn Shoemyer was the next Habit Hero hon-ored. Jaclyn is a third grad-er in Mrs. Simpson’s class and is the daughter of Bill and Michelle Shoemyer of Perry and the granddaugh-ter of Howard and Leota Shoemyer of Monroe City and Jim(deceased) and Pat Pettitt of Riverton, Illinois.

Jaclyn is an extreme-ly “proactive” young lady. She spends each day “be-ginning with the end in mind” so that she may be successful in all she does. She plans her time care-fully, making sure that her work will be completed to the best of her ability. Ja-clyn knows how to “seek first to understand, then to be understood”. She is very helpful at reaching out to others and helping them to solve their problems. “Sharpening the saw” only occurs after the work is done. Jaclyn is definitely a creative girl and a strong leader!

The next Habit Hero announced was Wyatt Mayes. Wyatt is a first grader in Mrs. Birkhead’s room. He is the son of Kaylene Hughes and Cody Mayes. His grandparents are Rick Mayes and Ralph Hughes.

Wyatt demonstrated that he was a leader when he “began the year with the end in mind”. Wyatt has worked so hard with the reading skills that have been taught in first grade. He shows excitement and a willingness to try what has been asked of him. Wyatt shows the seven habits in and out of the classroom. Wyatt Mayes is definitely a Habit Hero.

Madison Epperson was also chosen as a Habit Hero this month. Madi-son is a fourth grader at Center Elementary. She is the daughter of Josh and Jennifer Epperson. Her grandparents are Jeff and Katie Epperson, Larry Howe, and Penny Bentley.

Madison was nomi-nated by her art teacher, Miss Gerveler, who stated, “Madison is a wonderful student to have in class. She always comes to class prepared and quietly sits at her seat waiting for direc-tions. She is always ready to “be proactive”. Madi-son moved to Center Ele-mentary after school had already started this year, but quickly adjusted to

her new learning environ-ment even though at times I’m sure it was difficult for her. She takes her work in class seriously and tries her best in everything she does, always “putting first things first”! I am proud of her for being the student I can always count on to be listening in class, and to be polite and respectful to me and other students!”

Adelynn Palmer, daughter of Adria and Ritchie Palmer of Center, was the next Habit Hero. Adelynn is a student in Miss Stratton’s fourth grade classroom. She is the granddaughter of Ches-ter and Eileene Palmer of Center and Hurley and Tona Brown of New Lon-don.

Adelynn received this award because she is a Habit Hero in her class-room in many different ways. A few habits that Adelynn uses are Habit 1, “Be Proactive” and Habit 3, “Put First Things First”. Adelynn is “proactive” and completes her homework and turns it in on time. Adelynn also takes her classroom leadership po-sitions seriously and does her very best to accom-plish her responsibilities daily. Adelynn goes out of her way to help her teacher and fellow students in the classroom. She has volun-tarily given up recesses to help students catch up on missing work or study for spelling tests. If Adelynn sees a need she is there to volunteer to help. Adelynn “puts first things first” by taking care of her personal responsibilities before vol-unteering to do other ac-tivities. She works diligent-ly in class and when she finishes she finds some-thing productive to do.

Emerson Oglesby was also selected as a January Habit Hero. Emerson is the daughter of Brian and Teahna Oglesby. She is the granddaughter of William and Bonnie Oglesby and Lonnie and Karen Fae Krider. Emerson in Mrs. Birkhead’s first grade class-room and was referred by Stephanie Mefford, who is student teaching in the first grade classroom this semester.

Mrs. Mefford stated, “Emerson is a great habit hero. She always does what she is supposed to do and models this trait for the rest of her class. Whenev-er the students are working independently or out of the room, Emme can always be counted on to do what is expected of her and will remind those around her to do the same. She exhib-its “be proactive” by always being prepared for what is coming next, having her homework completed, and maintaining a positive atti-tude even when she thinks nobody is looking.

Center Elementary’s next January Habit Hero was Jenna Ross. Jenna is a kindergarten student in Mrs. Berry’s class. She is the daughter of Jared and Jesica Ross of Center. Her grandparents are Warren and LaRay Brehm and Jim and Bert Ross, all of Cen-ter.

Jenna was nominat-ed for practicing Hab-it #4, “Think Win-Win”. At school, Jenna is always ready to help. She follows directions the first time they are given, and then encourages her classmates to do the same. She is very good at helping classmates remember what they are supposed to do in a kind, respectful manner. Jen-na is a great leader in the classroom!

Rosie Peters, a first grader in Mrs. Birkhead’s class, was also selected as a Habit Hero. Rosie is the daughter of Dan and Julie

Peters. Her grandparents are Bill and Arthea Peters.

Rosie lives the sev-en habits each day. She is “proactive” and takes charge of her learning. She works very hard and does not give up. When Rosie is faced with chal-lenging work, she does her best to use everything she knows. This has helped her shine as a reader and writ-er. Rosie “puts first things first” by getting her home-work done every day be-fore playing. Even though Rosie is part of a very busy family, she knows the im-portance of homework, and makes it her priority.

“Beginning with the end in mind” is also clearly dis-played in Rosie’s work. She always does a great job on her Friday spelling tests. That’s because Rosie works on her words every day, studying them at school and writing them each night at home. Rosie Peters is truly a Habit Hero.

Center’s final Hab-it Hero for January was Jamie-Lynn Haley. Ja-mie-Lynn is in the fourth grade and is the daughter of Micheal and Melissa Haley.

Jamie-Lynn was being recognized by the school counselor, Diana Duck-

worth, for exhibiting Habit #8, “Find Your Voice”. Ja-mie-Lynn stepped up as a leader by agreeing to be the school’s Tiger Habit Hero. Every day, she brightens the morning assembly with her smile and theat-ric abilities. Jamie-Lynn is “proactive” by making sure that she is prepared to go on stage each morning. Jamie not only has “found her voice” as our Habit Hero Tiger, but she is “pro-active” in the classroom by getting her work complet-ed and turned in on time. Jamie-Lynn is definitely a leader at Center Elemen-tary.

Mr. Hull conclud-ed the assembly by stating, “Sean Covey (the person who developed the idea of the seven habits, states that it is important to ‘teach kids about the power of living according to prin-ciples—principles such as responsi8bility, planning ahead, respect for others, teamwork, and balance. Principles are like gravity. They are timeless, univer-sal and self-evident.’”

Center Elementary would like to congratulate the ten students who were recognized at the assembly for living the seven habits in their lives.
