No Bones About It

Members of Stephanie Whaley’s Anatomy and Physiology Class recently completed a unit on the skeletal system. Reading and discussing the text was an integral part of the class work, but en-gaging the tactile sense was important, too. At the end of the unit Whaley had the students construct a project which combined all the information and ap-plied it to a concrete model. The proj-ect for this unit of study called for each student to draw a replica of the skeletal

system on a sweatshirt. All the bones of the torso from the waist up and the arms bones were included and they had to be made to scale. Students also drew skele-tal bones of the foot on socks.

Several types of paints were used on the sweatshirts and socks. Puffy paint, acrylics, fabric paints and sharpies were mentioned. What was the hardest part? “Drawing it all free hand.” “Labeling all the bones.” “Getting it to scale.”

The project will be graded on accu-

racy of the drawings and labeling. Stu-dents earned extra credit if they wore their shirts during classes all day. Other students were impressed with the detail and often commented on the shirts to their classmates and teachers.

What’s next? The students will study the nervous system and a probable proj-ect will be designing a brain cap and la-beling the parts of one of the most inter-esting parts of the human body.

Students in Stephanie Whaley’s Anatomy and Physiology class model their sweatshirts. Front row from left are Starla Ely, Chloe Majors, Cara Allen, Ashley Woodrow, Jayme Hudson and Kayla Jennings. Back row from left are Brooklynn Hawkinson, Bailey O’Brien, Michelle Epperson, Ethan Mack, Wyatt Sharp and Walker Sharp.

Anatomy and Physiology Class Completes Unusual Project

At New London Elementary, stu-dents are nominated by their teacher as the monthly ‘Habit Hero’ for display-ing one of Steve Covey’s Seven Habits in their classroom. Students are rec-ognized at the end of the month on a Friday for their leadership within the classroom, and their families are invit-ed to attend to help celebrate the stu-dents’ accomplishments. Each grade level teacher nominates one student for displaying one of the Seven Habits. New London Elementary is pleased to

announce the following students were chosen as the Habit Hero for the month of January:

Grace Mefford-kindergarten, Hab-it 3–Put First Things First: “Grace is a great model of Habit 3-Put First Things First. Grace understands that a good student works first and then is able to play. I can always count on Grace to get her work done and do it to the best of her ability. Grace puts forth 100% effort in whatever she does. Congratulations Grace-you are a true Habit Hero!”

Grace is the daughter of Carl and Stephanie Mefford.

Dallas Baxter-kindergarten, Habit 4 & 6-Think Win-Win/Synergize: “Dallas is becoming a leader in our classroom. He is working on each habit every day. I hear him telling his friends to synergize and work together! When there is a dis-pute Dallas helps his friends think of a win-win situation. Dallas always begins with the end in mind during centers.

New London Elementary Habit Heroes are from left Grace Mefford, Madison Boleach, Jeremiah Uebinger, Drake Mc-Court, Dallas Baxter, Evan Zumwalt, Emberly Lane, Chase Lake, Callie Reynolds, McKenzie Winn, Nolan Epperson, Brook-lyn Bates and Zach Rayl.

Cut to the ChaseAN EDITORIAL COLUMN FROM THE MISSOURI FARM BUREAU

FEDERATION

Well, March stalked in like a lion and will hopefully go out on-the-lam. Not that there’s not enough bluster with the advent of March Mad-ness. As the full rut of basketball season runs its course, there will be an equal number of team benches head-in-hands as there are celebrating. And, not being con-tained in a room with a TV screen, parents can work out their lungs and vocabularies for the sum-mer youth sports season.

This is also the sea-son when the real world starts deciding which of the buffalo herd will move along at their own speed. Advanced fields of training and skilled pro-fessions are tied to the same puppet strings as are attached to the fed-erally funded education system.

A recent photo in the Quincy Herald-Whig showed a Waverly High School student reviewing her answer sheet during the annual American Mathematics compe-tition hosted by Cul-ver-Stockton. Two points stand out immediately. One: the score sheet is an archaic paper with man-ually darkened-in answer choices, rather than an electronic device. Two: there is no visible indi-cation that the student or anyone else in the picture has a calculator. (And I’m willing to bet that none of the contestants are using “core math.”) These factors are not sur-prising considering that the competition is de-signed “to increase inter-est in mathematics and to develop better prob-lem-solving skills.”

As with most feder-

al, bureaucratic policy oxymorons, the current retention of progressive learners within the con-fines of remedial perfor-mance is self-defeating. Someone has to go out and achieve financial tax-ability to finance govern-ment spending.

You can bet the loan agencies in China aren’t using “core math.” But, Big Brother always wants the last word.

Missouri’s PSC rec-ommended against building the “Clean Line” Grain Belt Express across Missouri in response to overwhelming negative response from citizens. Now, the proponents plan to get the federal government to override Missouri PSC. Illinois citizens in the path are currently fighting the same battle as Missouri. Illinois, however, plays by a different set of rules. IDNR has a tendency to rubber-stamp the mon-ey interests, and has the power to override not only citizens’ wishes, but the action of coun-ty boards representing those citizens. Current-ly, the Brown County board has recommended against establishing an ATV off-road track near Mt. Sterling. Residents don’t want the track, but state and investment rev-enue are in active play.

In the current issue of Missouri Life, Jonas Weir discusses a book by Joe Johnston “Necessary Evil –Settling Missouri with a Rope and a Gun.” While this book is set in Missouri, vigilante (from the Spanish; meaning guardsman) law was common west of the Mis-sissippi, the Deep South, and Salem, Massachu-setts where organized law was uncommon.

“Part of why we tell these stories is so we’ll understand how imper-fect this system was,” Joe says. “The problem with vigilante justice is that it’s short-sighted. It always leads to more violence and more vengeance. And there’s just no place to stop.”

And the difference with social media and “bleacher referees” is?

Two stories of ful-fillment. An American agave plant (looks like a huge asparagus) spent 80 years at the University of Michigan, finally grew to 28 feet, bloomed, died, and may come back as a musical instrument.

The children pushed their 90-year-old father’s hospice bed beside his 89-year-old wife and placed his hand on hers. Shortly after he passed, their 67 years of marriage concluded with her pass-ing as well.

I recently received an e-mail from Linda Locke Heck, Hermann, MO, granddaughter of Sam Locke, saying “I just fin-ished reading the article you wrote in May, 2011 for the Sheridan Express on my grandfather, Sam Locke, and his stove in-vention.  I really enjoyed it and wish my father could have read it and had the chuckle I did at the end.  I also wish I had a Warm Morning Stove.” 

The column she is refer-ring to is the following:  

When the depression hit in 1929, it didn’t take Sam Locke from Mexico, MO and his dad long to lose a chain of 34 gro-cery stores.  To econo-mize, Sam bought a load of cheap coal to heat his house.  Only thing wrong, the coal wouldn’t burn in his stove.  Using a shed in his back yard, Sam built a stove that not only would burn any

grade of coal, but would stay warm all night after the fire went out. 

Sam named the stove “Locke’s Warm Morning” stove and it would revo-lutionize the heating coal industry.  This was in the early 1930’s.  He started selling them out of the back of his car, selling 35 the first year, and 200 the second year for $27.50.  He finally leased his pat-ent to the Sinclair Coal Company in Kansas City.  They sold 50,000 Warm Morning stoves in 1941, and 400,000 in 1942.  In 1943, they were selling 2,000 per day, and build-ing them in 15 factories.  A lot of the stoves were going to the Army, Navy, and Marines.  In 1946, with much fanfare and publicity, the millionth stove was purchased. 

Sam invested his roy-alties in farmland, and he wound up being the

largest land owner in Audrain County.

My folks bought our Warm Morning stove out of the Montgomery Ward catalog.  My mom re-named it “Cold Morning, Warm Evening”, since it took a long time to heat the three slabs of fire-brick inside the stove that held the heat.  The fire-bricks, made by the A.P. Green factory in Mexico, made the stove so heavy my dad decided it would be a good idea to just go ahead and leave it set up all summer.  

Well, mom said no to that idea, and dad and I cussed Sam Locke as we carried that heavy stove on out of the house and into the barn.

As tax time ap-proaches, it is time to look at your records and decide if you need that huge file. This is very similar to chang-ing the battery in your smoke detector at day-light savings time. There are many records that you keep for life, but some can be kept for only three years. This is according to Re-gina Leeds, the author of One Year to an Or-ganized Financial Life (DaCopo Press, 2008).

Many documents are safe to shred on a monthly or annual ba-sis. ATM receipts and deposit slips can be shredded after bank reconciliation. Bank statements can be de-stroyed after year-end statements are de-stroyed. The author also states that most tax returns should be saved for three years. Supporting documents should also be saved for that same time period. This includes 1099’s, w2’s, invoices, cash reg-ister tapes, credit card slips and bank state-ments. Any documents that provide proof of deductible purchases and expenses should also be saved along with receipts for chari-table contributions.

Documents that the IRS requires for six years are filed state and federal tax returns, ex-perts agree that you can keep indefinitely for your own peace of mind. Other docu-

ments such as partner-ship, deeds and titles should be kept indefi-nitely. Property record and intellectual proper-ty should be kept for as long as you own plus threes after tax return indicating the sale of the property.

You may want to check with your book-keeper or CPA for more specifics as location and industry standards can be different. Do not discard non tax records until you check to see if the records should be kept. Insurance companies and cred-itors may require you to keep records longer than the IRS.

More information can be found in IRS publication 552 enti-tled, Recordkeeping for individuals or publica-tion 225, Farmer’s Tax Guide. These can be found at www.irs.gov or by writing the In-ternal Revenue Service at 1201 N. Mitsubishi Motorway, Blooming-ton, IL 61705-6613.

Despite the recent snowfall, there have been several things that raise our spirits during win-ter’s little hissy fit. I’ve heard several people say they’ve seen eagles, often more than one. An eagle sighting is exciting, es-pecially when you’re on your ho-hum commute to work. Those white feath-ers fanned out in flight are inspiring. Seeing the young ones feasting in a field or along the highway

gives you hope that their numbers are increasing. A sign, perhaps, that our country may finally be moving toward more rea-sonable actions.

Another bright note is the birdsong that greets me every morning. More and more are gathering in the trees and filling the air with sounds of the com-ing spring. I see flashes of blue and red as well as the beloved titmouse perched on the deck railing. The

geese still confuse me, go-ing sideways to the nor-mal north/south route expected of them. My son explained that they veer off to glean a field or to take advantage of a pond. Regardless of where they’re going, I always look up. Their formations are patterns of hope; a return of the season and a promise of sunny days and greener vistas.

Music of another kind was part of my week-end. My granddaughter and her fellow piano and guitar students met in Columbia for the NFMC Music Festival. Each stu-dent played memorized pieces and received certif-icates. It’s the culmination of a lot of practice and determination by these young musicians and it’s rewarding to see them excel in a music room as well as on a playing field.

Youth Basketball is still

going while our school teams have shifted into practice for spring sports. Sometimes I worry about the young people overex-

tending themselves, but then I see the shine of ex-citement and joy in their eyes. I envy their endur-ance and strength and I

eagerly anticipate their victories, no matter the venue.

Hope, a word asso-ciated with spring since poets put quill to parch-ment. Hope echoes in the hymns resounding in area churches each Sunday. It tickles the mind of every person who is scanning seed catalogs and sketch-ing out the garden plot. It shines forth as the fisher-men prepare for a season on the lake. Hope is in the determined swing of ev-ery bat and every muscle stretched before the first run.

We should never lose sight of hope, especially here in God’s Country. We just need to look with fresh eyes at the people and places we see every day and open our hearts to the possibilities that await us. It’s going to be a great spring.

THE HANSEN REPORTSTATE REP. JIM HANSENA View From the Past

“Yesteryears from the local papers”

It was with immense sadness that I learned of the tragic passing of my fellow public servant, Tom Schweich. This is a devas-tating loss for our state as we have now lost a leader and a man of the highest integrity, character and dedication. I ask now that all Missourians pray for the Schweich family as they cope with this tragic loss.”

In the weeks and months to come we will continue to try to make sense of what happened and why a life so promis-ing could end in this way. As we do, I hope we all can continue to focus our thoughts on the many pos-itive steps forward Tom Schweich helped us take throughout his dedicated service to our state. Below are a few of the highlights of his outstanding life and career:

A graduate of Yale and Harvard Law School.

Schweich served as chief of staff for the Dan-forth Special Counsel In-vestigation Branch David-ian compound in Waco, Texas.

He also served as Chief of Staff to three United States Ambassadors to the United Nations.

He also served as the Principal Deputy Assis-tant Secretary of State and Acting Assistant Secretary of State at the Bureau for International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Af-fairs in the State Depart-ment.

Schweich led diplomat-ic missions to approxi-mately 30 countries.

From 2007 – 2008 Sch-weich served as the US Coordinator for Counter-narcotics and Justice Re-form in Afghanistan

He authored three books - “Protect Yourself from Business Lawsuits;” “Crashproof Your Life,” and “Staying Power.”

As State Auditor he worked to ensure the proper use of public funds and to improve the effi-ciency and effectiveness of Missouri government.

His office helped un-cover more than 30 cor-rupt government officials embezzling millions of Missourians’ hard-earned taxpayer dollars, and iden-tified tens of millions of dollars in waste and abuse in state and local govern-ment.

He will be missed by the state of Missouri and everyone in the Capitol.

It was another busy week on the floor and in committee for all of us.

House Moves to Extend Big Government Get Off My Back Act – HB 32

My colleagues and I took action this week to continue a program that has helped nearly 200 small businesses here in Missouri. The Big Gov-ernment Get Off My Back Act has been in ef-fect for several years now and has bolstered small business growth by pro-viding a tax deduction to small employers who create good-paying jobs.Specifically, the bill allows a $10,000 tax deduction for each full-time job a

business with fewer than 50 employees creates that matches the county’s aver-age wage. The act doubles the deduction for employ-ers who offer new employ-ee health insurance and pay at least 50 percent of the premiums. The provi-sions of the bill previously applied through 2014, but with the passage of HB 32 we would extend them through the 2019 tax year.

HB 130 Receives House Approval. The House en-gaged in spirited debate this week as we considered a bill to put a prescription drug monitoring program in place. Missouri is the only state in the nation that does not have such a system in place already, and advocates for the issue say it is time to change that distinction.The goal with the database is to provide doctors and pharmacies with a powerful tool to prevent the abuse of pre-scription medications, and to protect patients from having conflicting medi-cations prescribed by the various physicians they may see.

Additional Safety Stan-dards for Clinics that Provide Abortions – HB 190The House also ap-proved legislation this week designed to improve the safety at Missouri’s only clinic that provides abor-tions. The bill was filed by one of my colleagues who was concerned by a re-cent inspection that found multiple violations. While those issues were correct-ed, the concern is that the facility is not inspected.

Legislation that Creates an Elected Secretary of Agriculture – HJR 29

HJR 29 is a constitu-tional amendment that would change the current-ly appointed director po-sition to statewide elected office called the Secretary of Agriculture. My per-sonal position at this time is gather more informa-tion about this HJR. If any of you would like to give feedback, please don’t hesitate to call or email my office.

Medical Marijuana – HB 800

The Committee on Emerging Issues heard 3 hours of testimony this week from those support-ing, opposing, and pro-viding information on the subject of medical mari-juana. Television person-ality Montel Williams was in attendance and provid-ed 45 minutes of testimo-ny in support of HB 800. Again, this is an issue I would like to hear from you about. Your opinions and feedback are always welcome and encouraged.

Thanks to everyone for the support. I look for-ward to moving on with committee work this week as I continue to serve the 40th.

Working on your be-half,

Representative Jim Hansen

Proudly Serving the 40th, Lincoln, Monroe, Pike, & Ralls Counties

Missouri House of Rep-resentatives - 573-751-4028

March is Women’s History Month and RCHE would like to spotlight some of the women of Ralls Coun-ty who made significant contributions to their community and left a legacy for young women today.

The following article and pictures were used in the June 2014 edition of the RCHE featuring the New London Park Days.

Hazel Kolb, Ralls County’s “Motorcyclin’ Gramma,” was honored with a Memorial Portrait presented at the June 7-8, 2014, New London Park Days. Hazel’s memorial portrait was sponsored by the local B.O.S.S. club.

Kolb received nation-al fame for her 1979 solo tour around the perime-ter of the United States, her “80 days on an 80.” She traveled around the

continental states on a Harley-Davidson Electra Glide as a way to pro-mote motorcycling and to honor her husband, Jack, an avid motorcycle rider. In April of 1979 she set out for Maine on the first leg of her jour-ney.

At this point Har-ley-Davidson’s public relations department be-gan arranging interviews with newspapers and lo-cal TV stations along the route. Soon, news of the 53-year-old “Motorcy-clin’ Gramma” reached national level and she was asked to appear with Johnny Carson on “The Tonight Show” and to appear on “Good Morn-ing America.”

Kolb’s ride prompt-ed her to write “On the Perimeter” with Bill Stermer, published in 1983. She was born in 1926 and raised near

Hannibal. She didn’t share many happy mem-ories of a childhood spent in poverty during the Depression. When her older brother, Tom, moved to California he bought a motorcycle and Hazel’s first motorcy-cle ride was behind her brother on his Harley. She made a promise to herself to buy her own bike and to return to California to visit Tom. Her dream would be put on hold while she navi-gated an early marriage and four children before the age of 22. After she divorced her husband, she met and married Jack Kolb, a Ralls Coun-ty farmer. After Jack got a 1967 Harley Electra Glide in a business deal they became devoted riders. Hazel consid-ered rides with Jack to Alaska and through the redwoods in California

as cherished memories. Soon she had her own Harley and they were riding side by side. Jack died of heart failure in 1975 at the age of 46.

Hazel’s story came full circle when she crossed into California on her perimeter ride. She was able to fulfill the prom-ise to her brother that she would return to Cal-ifornia on a bike as well as honor Jack’s mem-ory. At the end of the historic ride Hazel had covered over 1500 miles and had given over 300 interviews. Her role as an ambassador for mo-torcycling and its gen-tler image was firmly in place.

Hazel died from can-cer in 1990 but she left behind a legacy for all those who love to ride. The American Motorcy-clist Association inau-gurated the Hazel Kolb Brighter Image Award on 1987 “to honor those who generate positive publicity for motorcy-clists and motorcycles.” Motorcycling communi-ties all across the nation owe their growth and success to these peo-ple. The AMA Awards Program salutes those individuals and organi-zations who have shown leadership, uncommon excellence, and dedica-tion to the AMA mis-sion of promoting the motorcycle lifestyle and protecting the future of motorcycling. Award recipients have includ-ed Jay Leno, Malcolm Forbes and the Motor Maids.

Hazel Kolb stands with the Harley-Davidson Electra Glide she rode on her 1979 solo tour around the perime-ter of the United States that she documented in her book, “80 Days on an 80.”

A memorial portrait of Hazel Kolb was presented during the 2014 New London Park Days activities. The portrait was commissioned by the local B.O.S.S. Club and is currently on display in the Court House.

The Ralls County 911 February meeting opened with Director Micheal Arnold reporting that the center was right on track taking 631 calls in the last month, right where they should be in the budget, and receiving few frivo-lous phone calls (Quincy reports a 50% frivolous call rate.)

A soda machine for employees use has been installed in the break room. Proceeds from soda sales will be applied to a reward system for employees.

On February 10 six op-

erators attended weather spotter training.

Concerns in regards to Director Arnold and As-sistant Director Barnard’s work schedule were ex-pressed by the board. Director Arnold assured them they would not al-low their schedule to af-fect their health.

The next regular meet-ing will be March 19 at 7 p.m.

After adjourning the regular meeting board members agreed to pur-sue a Not For Profit sta-tus and take steps to purchase their current

building. The purchase of their building was dis-cussed and bylaws were approved. Board mem-bers selected Rich Adair, Chairman and Jan Go-lian, Secretary-Treasurer of the new board.

A motion to approve a resolution authorizing the corporation to enter into an agreement to purchase real estate and authorize the president to execute documents to effect the purchase was unani-mously approved.

A public meeting will be announced at a later date.

American Sniper by Chris Kyle

(with Jim DeFelice and Scott McEwen)

He was the top Amer-ican sniper of all time, called “the Legend” by his Navy Seal brothers and a hero by those he served on the home front…

From 1999 to 2009, U.S. Navy SEAL Chris Kyle recorded the most career sniper kills in Unit-ed States military history. Kyle earned legendary status among his fellow SEALs, Marines, and U.S. Army soldiers, whom he protected with deadly ac-curacy from rooftops and stealth positions. Grip-ping and unforgettable, Kyle’s masterful account of his extraordinary bat-tlefield experiences ranks as one of the greatest war memoirs of all time.

A native Texan who learned to shoot on child-hood hunting trips with his father, Kyle was a champion saddle-bronc rider to joining the Navy. After 9/11, he was thrust onto the front lines of the War on the Terror, and soon found his calling as a world-class sniper who performed best under fire. He recorded a per-sonal-record 2,100 yard kill shot outside Baghdad; in Fallujah, Kyle braved heavy fire to rescue a group of Marines trapped on a street; in Ramadi, he stared down insurgents with his pistol in close combat. Kyle talks hon-estly about the pain of war – of twice being shot, and experiencing the tragic deaths of two close friends.

“American Sniper” also honors Kyle’s fellow

warriors, who raised hell on and off the battlefield. And in moving first-per-son accounts throughout, Kyle’s wife, Taya, speaks openly about the strains of war on their marriage and children, as well as on Chris.

Adrenaline-charged and deeply personal, “American Sniper” is a thrilling eyewitness ac-count of service and sac-rifice that only one man could tell.

SEAL TEAM 3 Chief Chris Kyle (1974-2013) served four combat tours in Operation Iraqi Free-dom and elsewhere. For his bravery in battle, he was awarded two Silver Stars, five Bronze Stars with Valor, tow Navy and Marine Corps Commen-dations, and numerous other citations. In 2005 he received the Grateful Nation Award, given by the Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs. Following his combat deployments, he became chief instructor for train-ing Navy Special Warfare Sniper and Counter-Snip-er teams, and he authored the Navy Special Warfare Sniper Doctrine, the first Navy SEAL sniper man-ual.

Kyle is also the author of the New York Times bestseller “American Gun; a History of the U.S. in Ten Firearms. He lived with his family in Texas, where he devoted much of his spare time to sup-porting veterans.

Jim DeFelice is the au-thor of Omar Bradley: General at War, the first in-depth critical biog-raphy of America’s last five-star general. He also writes a number of ac-claimed military thrill-ers, including the Rogue Warrior series with Rich-ard Marcinko, founder of SEAL Team 6, and the novels in the Dreamland series with Dale Brown.

Scott McEwen is a trial lawyer in San Diego.

This commemora-tive memorial edition of Kyle’s bestselling memoir features the full text of “American Sniper” plus more than 80 pages of remembrances by those whose lives he touched personally.
