A Fence of Meaning

Bruce and Wendy Bouman live at 607 Goggin St. in Macon, Mo. This spring the Bouman’s put up a privacy fence at the front of their home. It wasn’t thought of as being anything special, everyone does some type of home improvement during the spring.

Once this new fence was completed, Wendy called her niece, Renee Korna, to fi nish something she could not do herself for it needed to be someone with an artistic background that could handle such a task that she had in mind.

Wendy was a sibling of 8

children. She is a daughter of the late Linda Kay and Harry Neeson and the step daughter of Rose Mary Neeson. Wendy’s mother passed away when Wendy was only fi fteen years old and she and her siblings were raised by their father.

Harry was a truck driver by trade and worked very hard to raise his children. Harry was a very patriotic man and loved the RED, WHITE and BLUE. He never served in the armed forces, but he loved his country very much. He went as far as having a statue of the Statue of Liberty in his yard.

Harry Neeson passed away the evening before Mothers Day in 2011 and it will soon be a year since his passing. Wendy wanted to do something in remembrance of her dad that the whole family would enjoy. Wendy said she was very fortunate to have not just a loving mother and father, but a very loving and generous step mother, Rose Mary Neeson. “Rose Mary was a great wife and stood by us until the end, she means so much to us”. Stated Wendy, holding back the tears.

Renee Krona is the niece Wendy called to fi nish her project and as soon as Wendy

told Renee what she had in mind, Renee was excited to do it. Renee works full time, but after work she would spend 2 to 3 hours a day for 8 days to complete a mural that would remind them of Harry. “Renee is a very talented artist and I called her to do this. She is also family so it means a lot to her as well.” Said Wendy.

The painting is of a brick wall with an opening viewing the sky. Eagles soaring and the American fl ag fl ying in the wind, all of the things which made Harry Neeson proud.

Pictured is Renee Krona and Bruce & Wendy Bouman sitting at the wall in remembrance of Harry Neeson

A one vehicle accident occurred at 1:55 am about 3 miles south of Bev-ier on Hwy C. A 2001 Ford Pickup driven by Brenden J. Linear, 17, of Macon was traveling northbound on Hwy C. Linear ran off the right side of the road, overcorrected, ran off the left side of the road and struck a tree. Passengers in the vehicle were Devon Schubert, 17, and Sierra Short, 18, both of Macon. Devon Schubert was thrown from the vehicle and taken to University Hospital in Columbia, Mo., by staff of life helicopter while Linear and Short sought their own treatment.

The vehicle sustained extensive damage and was removed from the scene of the accident by Still Towing of Macon, Mo.

Those assisting the Missouri State Highway Patrol at the accident were the Macon County Sheriff’s Offi ce, Bevier Fire Department and the Ma-con County Ambulance.

Ricks Service & Tire has been in business since 1949. Everett Shoemaker served in WWII and after returning he and his wife Mary purchased the station from Bobby Chastene in 1949. In 1969 the business was moved to the location we know today. Rick grew up with the business and purchased it from his parents in 1985. To this day it is the only full service station in the area.

Rick works hard to keep the old traditions of the sta-tion, but stated he has to be careful of one’s traveling through to get fuel. “They don’t know what to think when someone just comes up to their car, many get de-fensive”.

Rick and his wife Richelle are raising their family in Bevier. They have two children, Tyler, 18 and Chloe, 13.

Ricks Service & Tire offers, not only a Full Service Station, but they have a small convenient store and full time mechanics that handle all types of auto repair including a 24 hour wrecker service. Ricks Services carries hundreds of tires in stock. They do alignments, frontend work, brake work and diagnostics.

Business hours are Monday through Saturday 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and Convenient Store open on Sunday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Business phone (660)773-5113 or 24 hour wrecker service (after hours) 660-773-

When asking to be made whole this includes your mind. Our life is what we do, and this needs to be changed. Our will is what we think: this also has to be changed.

II Cor. 8:12 If there be fi rst a willing mind it is accepted.

Jesus was asking the lame if he was willing to be healed. What is a willing mind? Is it not when we view all of the Bible as God’s Word, and accept that it is for us? The enemy (Satan) asks us to analyze God’s Word and decide what part is for us. God asked the lame man if healing was for him - if he was ready to become responsible.

On the porch beside the pool of Bethesda lay many sick people. Once every year when the water was troubled the fi rst one in the pool was healed. The lame man told Jesus,

Both recipes submitted by Matt Bergfi eld

John 5:1-9 Wilt thou be made whole?“I have no one to carry me to the pool, and someone steps in front of me”. Jesus said forget the pool, do you want to be healed?

Circumstance cannot alter the power of God. He is bigger than all your circumstances.

It’s never been too long, too big, too bad or too little for God to create a miracle for you. It could have been that the lame man wanted only the pain to go away. After all he had a good place in the shade of the porch for his occupation which was begging. Jesus was asking “do you want your life to completely change”?

He is asking the lost do you want a new life, free from sin and the dread of hell, or do you just want the pain to go away. We were promised a new life in him.

Among the buildings squarely in the storm’s path were the high school and the city’s main hospital. Both were damaged beyond repair. The death toll: 161, in-cluding a page designer for The Globe.

The story of how The Globe responded to the disaster is told in the 59-minute fi lm “Deadline in Disaster,” produced by the Missouri Press Asso-ciation. It will be shown at 7 p.m. Thursday, May

I am so afraid of storms. I have never actually seen a tornado and have been very fortunate not to have gone through one, how-ever for some strange rea-son I have always been so scared of them.

Unfortunately, I in-stalled that fear in my children as they were growing up. Now that they are grown, they aren’t so scared but we have had some exciting times as they were grow-ing up.

I can remember dur-ing the fl ood of 93 I took the kids into the basement one night and went as far as putting a card table up in the bathroom and mak-ing a tent to sleep under with the kids, as my hus-band just went on to bed and had a good night sleep. My motto is better safe than sorry!

In 2000 my son and I were at my grandmother’s house visiting one Sunday afternoon. My daughter stayed home and a storm come up. I called home to let her know we were on our way so she wouldn’t worry. I will never forget, I arrived home, as the ga-rage door was opening she was standing there wait-ing on us with a bible in one hand and a suitcase in the other. Fortunately the storm died down and all was ok. As I was talking to the kids telling them it was ok, my mother calls to check on us and I fi nd out that my daughter was on the phone to many family members telling them she loved them just in case there was a tornado. We laugh about it now, but I felt so bad that my kids got this fear from me.

We moved to our prop-erty south of Bevier in 2005. We were pushed on time getting our home completed so we decided to go with a concrete slab instead of a basement. This was a serious dis-cussion as I NEEDED a basement, however my husband assured me that we were ok without one because tornadoes won’t

come through where we are putting the house. He explained to me the ground is low and a torna-do won’t cross water etc… It didn’t make sense to me but I felt a little relief, I didn’t know enough about storms to argue and he sounded like he was sure of what he was telling me. I will never forget, as we were measuring and fi gur-ing which way to place the home, one of the neigh-bors came down. I asked the question…”Whatever happened to the town of Keota, there’s no evidence of a town even existing here?” Well, to my sur-prise that person replied “ It got wiped out by a tornado years ago”. Now can you imagine the look I gave my husband???... I still remind him of that every season and assure him if I get carried off by a tornado, I will fi nd my way back and he will think that storm was just a little sprinkle once I’m done spreading my wrath!!! Of course that doesn’t phase him one bit.

If there is a storm on its way, I will stay up with the weather radio, TV and scanner all on until it pass-es us. I feel I have to do this since my husband will just go on to bed saying “It will go around us, you’re being stupid”. Of course, he has always been right and I am left with no sleep trying to make it through the next day.

Now with all the se-rious storms lately, I do think I will be checking on a storm shelter. Better Safe than Sorry!!!

Sometimes that fi rst mushroom is hard for me

to fi nd. My dad on the other hand, says he has picked more mushrooms

this year than any other year that he can

remember.

by Carrie Chiarottino

A few days of warm temperatures in the spring can only mean one thing; the mushrooms are popping up! I did go out in the woods with my boys but didn’t have any luck of fi nd-ing a single mushroom. I really have to concen-trate on fi nding the fi rst mushroom and after that I can usually spot several. Sometimes that fi rst mushroom is hard for me to fi nd. My dad on the other hand, says he has picked more mushrooms this year than any other year that he can re-member. He found this giant mushroom that measured three and a half inches wide by seven inches tall. The mushroom didn’t grow straight and tall instead it grew slumped over. He said he couldn’t remember fi nding any other mushroom as big as this one. He gave it to me along with a grocery sack and a half full of others. That was the second time he had fi lled sacks like that this year. In his fi rst hunt he gathered a whopping

164 mushrooms and in his second hunt he gathered 143. I have seen a few pictures on face book of mush-rooms that people have found, but none compares to sack full’s upon sack full’s that my dad has found. He loves to be in the woods and he loves to hunt mush-

rooms. Which is good for me because I like to eat them, but 143 mushrooms is a lot. I gave some to my neighbor, she was so happy to get them. I don’t know what other people do to prepare their mushrooms for the skil-let, but I coat them in egg batter, then coat them in fl our and put them into a hot skillet of grease with a little butter in it. Oh, don’t forget the salt and pepper. I cooked a plate and a half of mushrooms the other night and they didn’t last long so the rec-ipe must not be too bad. I have heard of others using bread crumbs or rolling them in cracker crumbs. Either way you prepare

your mushrooms, I’m sure they’re tasty. Make sure you get outside and enjoy the wonders that spring has to offer, Take a little time to enjoy life in the country.

A reception was held in honor of Bevier’s City Clerk, Beth Faught on Thrusday, April 12th at Ugo’s Piz-zaland in Bevier. Beth has been employed as City Clerk for 9 ½ years. During those years she has completed several grants for the city including the latest sidewalk project for Bevier. Many showed to wish Beth the best in her new endeavors.

RECEPTION FOR BETH FAUGHT

On September 1, 1905 a dispensation was grant-ed by the Grand Lodge to organize an Elk’s Lodge in Macon, Mo.The departed Col. F.W. Blees, together with Dr.A.K. Mussalem and W.S. Jarvis were the com-mittee selected by the Grand Lodge to organize and select memberships. This committee was select-ed on account of the fact that they were members of the Elk’s Lodge, Having their membership in other Lodges when they moved to Macon. A great deal of credit is due Dr. A.K. Mus-salem for his untiring work incidental to the organiza-tion of Macon Lodge.

The Charter was grant-ed Macon Lodge July 20, 1906 and given the dis-tinctive number 999. The fi rst class consisting of upwards of 50 members was initiated by Moberly lodge, our neighboring town to the south.

After a most enthusias-tic meeting, the fi rst quo-rum of offi cers were duly elected and subsequently installed, as follows: Dan R. Hughes, Exalted Ruler; Harry M. Rubey, Esteemed Leading Knight; Wm. B. Webb, Esteemed Lecturing Knight; Waldo F. Smith, Esteemed Loyal Knight; Charles A. Bennett, Sec-retary; Frank Mayer, Trea-surer; Wm. B. Craig, Es-quire. The trustees were Theodore Gary, John A. White and A.C. Gipe.

The fi rst Elk’s Club rooms were the second fl oor at the corner of Rol-lins and Bourke Streets, known at present as the Matthews Building. The lodge prospered resulting in a much increased mem-bership causing these quar-ters to become inadequate. The third fl oor now known as the Masonic Temple building was leased. This was our club and lodge rooms for a number of years. In the meantime, the Masonic Bodies who owned the third fl oor of the Parson building on Vine street suffered a severe fi re. This necessitated the Masonic Bodies to seek

History of Macon Elks Lodge #999

other quarters, resulting in the purchase of their pres-ent building. With much regret on the part of the Masonic Bodies the Elks were asked for possession of their club rooms.

Under the leadership of Wm. C. Brown, Exalted Ruler, and Ed. F. Maffry, Secretary, a building com-mittee was appointed as follows:

The late Brother Wal-lace H. Smith, Chairman, Brother W.S. Forgey, Sec-retary. Other members of this building committee were Brothers Albert Skin-ner, John R. Hughes, Chris Maffry Jr. Theo Reishel, Chas. A. Wardell, Nat M. Lacy, Wm. C. Brown and John M. Sauvinette.

It was appropriate at this time to organize what is now know as The Elk’s Home Association in or-der to incorporate. The Late Brother Wallace H. Smith, above referred to was President of The Elk’s Home Association in order to incorporate, together with the following mem-bers; Albert Skinner, We. C. Brown, R.A. Walker, Theo Racal, B.R. Wil-liams, Nat M. Lacy, C.A. Wardell, John R. Hughes, Rudolph Miller, Jr., R. Wilson Barrow, Tom Hart-man and Lloyd D. Smith.

Each Elks Lodge is a social organization prac-ticing the Teaching of Charity, Justice, Brotherly Love and Fidelity, having the welfare of the commu-nity at heart for the interest of mankind.

The present offi cers of the lodge are Cecil Ar-nett, Exalted Ruler; David Baase, Leading Knight; Angela Price, Loyal Knight, Timothy Slover, Lecturing Knight;Karen Chezum, Secretary; Pa-mala Sampson, Treasurer; Eddie Rushton, Esquire; Betty Teague, Inner Guard; Jimmy Stuart, Tiler. Trust-ees: Jim Lyle, Sherry Co-ram, Tony Garner, Jerry Chezum and Al Carney.

By Robert Morrison More than 1500 people

lost their lives when that magnificent vessel struck an iceberg on the night of April 14, 1912 and sank within hours. But 712 persons were rescued from the sinking of the luxury liner. Their sur-vival is a story of courage, competence and faith.

“ SOS Titanic calling. We have struck ice and require immediate as-sistance.” That startling message was received on board the RMS Carpathia. The ship’s only radio op-erator, Harold Cottam, had been working well past the end of his normal shift.

Carpathia’s first offi-cer barged into the cap-tain’s quarters. “Who is this cheeky beggar com-ing into my cabin with-out knocking,” thought Captain Arthur Rostron, who had just retired.

Titanic, the pride of the White Star Line, had been racing from Britain to New York. Now, she was 60 miles away. In seconds, Captain Rostron was in the chart room, plotting a course to race to the side of the stricken ves-sel. Normally, Carpathia could make 14 knots. By diverting “every particle of steam” to her screws, she might reach 17 knots. Even so, it would take hours to come alongside.

Poring over his charts, the captain issued a stream of orders. The ship’s doc-tors, pursers and chief steward were ordered to receive passengers from Titanic, readying supplies of blankets, stimulants and other restoratives. Get lists of survivors’ names to be sent by wireless. Maintain strict silence. Avoid panic among Car-pathia’s own passengers. They would be left to shiver in their cabins, the

a Titanic Story Hollywood missedsteam heat having been diverted to drive the ship’s propellers. Once he had finished his mental list of a hundred tasks, Captain Rostron was observed, head bowed, praying.

He had good reason to pray. There would be no other ship to do what Car-pathia had to do that night. The Olympic, sister ship to Titanic, was hundreds of miles away. And the California, heartbreak-ingly close to Titanic, may have mistaken the sinking liner’s emergency flares for fireworks of celebra-tion. This was Titanic’s well-publicized maiden voyage and her passen-ger manifest was a who’s who of the rich and fa-mous of two continents.

Captain Rostron could not forget his first duty - to his own ship and her passengers and crew. “Ice-bergs loomed up” on this still, moonless night, Ar-thur Rostron would write in his memoir, “Home from the Sea.” “It was an anxious time with the Ti-tanic’s fateful experience very close in our minds. There were seven hundred souls on the Carpathia; these lives, as well as the survivors of the Titanic herself, depended on a sudden turn of the wheel.”

If Captain Rostron or his crew had neglect-ed any one of the vital tasks required on that night to remember, the Titanic disaster could have ended even more tragically. They didn’t.

During World War II, the fate of Britain and the allied cause depended on the Battle of the Atlantic . All too often, men strand-ed in boats following a U-boat attack were left behind the convoys racing to bring critical supplies to the embattled nation. They flashed their little

lights but the convoy had orders not to stop. Rich-ard Snow’s “A Measure-less Peril” tells of a newly commissioned destroyer escort that raced to res-cue the freezing men in a cluster of twelve lifeboats. “Don’t waste too much time,” the convoy commo-dore had radioed. The de-stroyer escort’s unblood-ed crew members were shocked at this callous-ness, until they reached the little boats bobbing on the swells. All the life-jacketed seamen were dead. Their stiff-armed waves were caused by the movement of the waves.

Such would have been the fate of the 712 Titanic passengers who made it into the lifeboats. Exposed a few more hours and they would all have died. Most of those in the freezing waters died. One woman watched Titanic’s massive hull slip beneath the wa-ters. She lost hope for her husband. Suddenly awak-ened, she begged others in her lifeboat not to push off an oil-covered figure des-perately thrashing about in the water. They feared he might capsize them. Her piteous pleas finally touched their hearts. When the swimmer got on board, the pleading woman rec-ognized her own husband.

Captain Rostron re-ceived the Congressional Medal of Honor from a grateful America . Home in England , he was knighted. The day after Ti-tanic sank, President Taft ordered the Coast Guard to commence iceberg patrols. For those who have been in peril on the sea, the cap-tain’s noble courage will always inspire gratitude and reverence. It’s not too late to make a movie about Sir Arthur Rostron and the Carpathia crew.

While you’re having a great time taking photos of the Swiss Alps, you may not realize it but your travel experience is ben-efi ting your mind. Scien-tifi c research agrees that lifelong learning, which includes discovering fi rst-hand new places, people and cultures, is one of the primary factors that lead to better brain health.

More people than ever before are planning road

Want Better Brain Health? Take A Trip!trips, cruises, railroad ex-cursions, tours, hiking and biking expeditions to near and far locations. But some of these same trav-elers are not only choos-ing resorts, inns, air fare, itineraries and cruises; they are also sharpening their brain by studying the history and culture of the areas and learning the languages. Before they de-part, they are taking non-credit academic courses to

add to their travel experi-ence.

Other travelers take time to read books by the country’s beloved authors, and learn about the local cuisine, music and art.

Before you depart from home learn a new lan-guage or at least a few phrases. You may not have time to immerse yourself in a language, but the more time you spend learning the faster you will learn.

Join a class or listen to au-dio tapes or ask someone who speaks the language to teach you.

Other planning steps include making two cop-ies of your passport. Take one copy with you and put in a separate location from the actual passport. Leave the second copy at home. Make a copy of your health insurance card from your home health plan and keep the copy in a location separate than your card. Take a mix of money such as one credit card, possi-bly a debit card, and cash including several $1 dol-lar bills. It’s a good idea to have a health check-up before you leave home. Talk to your physician about protection or immu-nization from diseases that might be prevalent in your location like malaria.

Avoid taking cabs after dark in developing coun-tries or to areas far from your hotel. Don’t travel anywhere at night by foot or driving if you feel the area has questionable safety concerns.

Keep in mind if you are in a crowd waiting in line at a restaurant or buy-ing tickets to a popular at-traction you may also be sharing the crowded space with pickpockets.

You can see the world without spending a for-tune. But no matter where you go you need to prepare for a healthy vacation.
