Gov. Jay Nixon took opening day of the 110th Missouri State Fair as an opportunity to announce a new book celebrating Missouri’s Century Farms. The book, “Missouri’s Century Farms: Preserving Our Agricultural Heritage,” sponsored by Missouri Farm Bureau Federation, University of Missouri Extension and the University of Missouri College of Agriculture, food and Natural Resources (CAFNR), commemorates the 35th anniversary of the program. Governor Nixon contributed to the book and recognized the farming traditions passed from generation to generation and the families who have attained this special recognition.

Unveiling Book Celebrating Missouri’s Century Farms“Throughout our state’s history, Missouri’s farm families have passed down their legacy of dedication, perseverance and innovation to future generations,” Nixon wrote. “Their tenacity through good times and tough times alike is a true testament to the great men and women of our Century Farms who are pillars of Missouri’s deeply rooted agriculture tradition.” Highlighting the history of the Century Farm program, the 400-page book includes the history of Missouri agriculture as well as personal recollections of individuals whose families have successfully transferred their passion for farming to the next generation. “We’re honored to be

a part of the effort to preserve the heritage of Missouri agriculture and the Century Farm families that are dedicated to working the land and preserving a way of life that established a strong foundation for the State of Missouri,” said Missouri Farm Bureau President Blake Hurst. Among the historical recollections in the book, Hurst’s mother, Millie Hurst, shares memories of growing up on her family farm in northwest Missouri. The Century Farm Program is administered by University of Missouri Extension. “We are pleased to have been a part of the partnership responsible for the Century Farms Program since its inception in

1976,” said Michael Ouart, vice provost and director of University of Missouri Extension. CAFNR Dean Tom Payne echoed Ouart’s sentiments and added, “CAFNR has a rich history of working with Missouri farm families.

Nearly three years in the making, the book showcases almost 1,000 Missouri farms that have been farmed by the same family for at least 100 years. To date, 8,120 farms have been awarded this distinction, and a listing of all Century Farms is included in the book. The book is published by Acclaim Press in Sikeston, Mo.

ELECTION DAY

Well the primaries are over and some people are happy and some people are not. My mamma always told me “if you don’t vote, don’t bitch”. So enough said on that subject. Good luck to all candidates in the November election.

It’s time to get those bbq grills back out, the weather has fi nally broke and people are so anxious to be spending time outdoors without melting. It’s great to see people walking, riding bikes and playing in the park again. Mother Nature sure was a little ticked off at us for some odd reason, so who did it? Cowboy Up? I won’t tell, just don’t do it again.

I went to see George Jones on Friday night, he is one of my all time favorite performers and has a great voice. This man has been in my life for years, as my ma and pa listened to him, as well as the Oakridge Boys, the Statler Brothers, etc. I bet that brings back some memories for people, with their 8-track tapes. LOL I remember my brother having a whole collection of those gaudy clumsy things, now a days the advancement of electrical musical equipment makes the 8 track look like a giant.

Randy, my right-hand man, sometimes my left hand, depending on the day. LOL was interested in a small device called a Ipod Shuffl e. He was trying to purchase one on the Swap Shop, but left the offi ce before he got it bought. Just so happens that I was working the ER that very same night and was on my phone on Facebook and the very same one became available so I purchased it immediately for $20 and the kid brought it right over to the hospital for me. He musta been broke. LOL Anywho, I opened this tiny little box, looked about the size of a ring box and in it was a USB connector cord about 2” long and a tiny little silver device that was about the size of a piece of Bazooka bubble gum, actually I think it was even smaller than that, but a little larger than a Chicklet. Anyway this device is supposed to hold hundreds of songs that you download from the internet and then buy a pair of headphones to complete the ensemble.

I was amazed. I said “Where’s the battery?”, nope, no battery, it just charges as you download songs. Hmmmm!!!! First of all, I’d lose it. Second of all, I couldn’t fi gure out how to download the songs. And fi nally, I don’t’ have any headphones. LOL But, Randy was just as happy as if it was Christmas and he was 5-years old. Good for him. He works hard and I sometimes throw things his way like that so he knows I appreciate him. He does a lot of stuff for me, outside the box. Sometimes it’s the little things that matter the most!! Thanks Randy.

Things are gearing up around town for the annual Soybean Festival and we will have a complete schedule in next weeks paper. So make sure you contact the La Plata Promotional Committee if you have an event to schedule or would like to be a vendor.

The circus will be in town on Friday and I am so looking forward to taking my granddaughter, Quinci Jo to her fi rst circus. I know she’s only 5 months, but I wanted to go anyway, just an excuse, hehe!! So, will I see you there? I hope so!

I also wanted to toss in a BIG THANK YOU to all of our readers for all the great compliments and pats on the back for our fi rst Regional paper that was mailed last week. All of us here at The Home Press worked very hard to get your 24 page edition out and those from the Paris and Canton papers contributed a lot of hard work as well. We look forward to bringing you another one next month. Giving you, our readers, what you want is our most important goal and hearing all the great words of approval means a lot to me. Thank You!!

Keep It Kool,Bec

Sometimes those who do not have faith in Jesus wonder why those with faith follow this person named Jesus. Why do we have faith in this man?

It is not because Jesus provides for our physi-cal needs. There are those here in earth who do that, many of whom are con-nected to government programs. It is not just because Jesus performed miracles while he was on the earth. Jesus performed many miracles while he was here, all of which were witnessed by many people who never became followers of Jesus.

It has a lot to do with deeper things of life rath-er than physical things. t is because Jesus loves us that he came from his place with God in heaven to be with us. It has to do with our belief that Je-sus paid the price for our sins. Because of our fail-ures to be the people God wants to be, Jesus died on the cross. God raised him from the dead after hew as in the tomb three days. Jesus taught his followers for forty more days and then returned to heaven.

Jesus provides the an-swer to many of the deep-er questions of life that we have. Jesus is the answer

to for that within us that is searching for a power or a person that is greater than us that we can turn to in times of questioning and in times of distress. Just as bread is necessary to sus-tain our physical bodies, Jesus is necessary to sus-tain our internal lives. The healing miracles Jesus did were done to make people whole and to point us to the one who can make us spiritually whole. That one is God. God loves each of us despite of how we live our lives. God wants to make us whole in every way. Will receive that love today?

The La Plata R-II School District has a rich history of high student achievement. When you look at our district you will see a talented and dedicated faculty that is always willing to go above and beyond to meet the needs of our students. Our students are some of the best and brightest in the state of Missouri and it is our goal to ensure they are prepared to succeed at the highest level possible.

We are also fortunate to have a strong support staff. These individuals are so important to our district and we couldn’t help our students achieve at the highest level without the support from our bus drivers, cooks, nurses, custodians, paraprofessionals, secretaries and maintenance personnel. It is a privilege and an honor to work with such dedicated professionals.

As we begin the 2012-2013 school year I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Home Press for allowing us to submit articles on a monthly basis. At the La Plata R-II School District, we strive to keep our community informed and educated about matters related to the education of our students. Our intent is to share information

Superintendent’s Perspective

and at the same time to keep everyone informed in relation to upcoming items that may be of interest.

Some of the topics we will be discussing this year include student achievement, curriculum, bussing, activities and school calendars (just to name a few). After you read the articles please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or if you would like any additional information. We are here to serve the students and the community and are always happy to answer any questions that you might have.

We also have an extensive web site that is an excellent source of information. The district web address is www.laplata.k12.mo.us. After visiting the site, please feel free to send us feedback and let us know if there are any other items you would like for us to make available.

If you ever have any questions, comments or concerns regarding our school district, please contact me at 332-7001 or by email at [email protected]. I am happy to help in anyway possible. Thank you for your continued support of the La Plata R-II School District. We look forward to another outstanding school year.

Many voters took time to color in the oval’s on their ballots at the La Plata Bank Room on election day. Pictured is Tom Mohan signing in.

In spite of the heat, 671 people attended the Macon County Back-to-School Health and Safety Fair on Saturday, August 4, at the Macon County Park EXPO Building.

Almost 300 bags of school supplies were dis-tributed to Macon County children entering Kinder-garten through 5th grades. All remaining school sup-plies were divided among the schools, public and private, in Macon County to assist children moving into our school districts and having the supplies they need the fi rst day of school. More than 40 ex-hibitors provided school supplies and a variety of

Macon County Back-To-School Health And Safety Fair A Great Success

fun items for school-aged children and their younger and older siblings. All of the children were invited to participate in the games, crafts, and exhibits on hand including a reverse dunking booth and the rescue vehicles. Smokey the Bear, Sparky the Dog, and Spike the Bulldog all made guest appearances. The Macon County Health Department provided a car-seat safety check sta-tion at Floral Hall. The Planning Committee was very happy to welcome so many Macon County families to this important event to get every child off to a “Smart Start to a Great School Year”!

A new business has made La Plata their home-town. Opening in March at 515 E. Moore Street, Brad Buck Paint and Body is up and running and accepting new customers and wel-coming those that he has already helped out previ-ously at other locations.

Buck has been in the automotive business since he was old enough to walk into Buck Bros. Sunnys-lope in Kirksville, where

his father, Eddie Buck and uncles, W.R. and Mike are owners. This family has been in the automotive business in some fash-ion for several years and that includes racing their own vehicles down 156 to running their racecars throughout several states. So, Brad is no new-comer to the world of automo-biles.

With eight years expe-rience under his belt work-

ing for a previous body shop in Macon, Buck brings his experience to La Plata by offering a full body shop including Cus-tom Paint Jobs, Restora-tions and Collision Repair. The body shop uses quali-ty paint products and Buck is I-Car and ASE certifi ed.

As owner of the shop, Buck says that he will be happy to work with your insurance company for your collision repair. He

says that since he is work-ing alone his production is low, but that makes his work high quality. He throws in that he does de-tailing and offers that great hometown hospitality.

You are able to check out some of Buck’s work on his website at bradbuck-paintandbody.com, seeing the before product and the fi nished product, as well as just being able to ask his advice or get great

tips for your wheels. And for those of you that are computer savvy, you can keep up with him by liking Brad Buck Paint and Body on Facebook.

Bucks states that, “A Job Worth Doing, Is Worth Doing Well”!

We welcome Brad to town and hope his experi-ence here in La Plata goes well.
