It’s been mighty chilly the past 

few days and we are thankful 

for a nice warm fire in the basement 

wood burning stove. My 

husband loves the warmth plus 

watching the bright red flames 

through the glass door of the 

stove. I thought he was a little 

over zealous when he started 

gathering firewood in the summer 

months. He checked with 

a family about a block from us 

that had several trees still down 

and uncut from the ice storm 

and they were grateful to him 

for cutting up and hauling the 

wood away. Another neighbor 

two doors down told him he 

was welcome to his wood, so he 

brought it home and stacked it 

up, also, with the help of Grandsons 

Joel and Caleb. We ended 

up with a nice wood pile, hopefully 

enough for the winter, and 

then he up and had his heart attack. 

It was sort of the same way 

with the flea market booth. We 

gave notice that we would be 

packed up and out by August 1-he 

had the heart attack on August 

22. It was almost as if we were 

forewarned to get these things 

taken care of. We are extremely 

fortunate, though, because if we 

should run out of wood, Son Earl 

has acreage that provides plenty 

and grandsons Joel and Caleb 

are really good at helping cut and 

stack what is needed. I don’t 

know how much a cord of wood 

costs nowadays, but I’ll bet it’s 

pretty pricey. 

Joel and Caleb came in on Saturday 

and helped my husband 

start cleaning up the yard. The 

City had been here a few weeks 

back and trimmed the trees that 

were growing around the utility 

lines, but we still had a lot 

of trimming and pick up work 

in the back yard. We also have 

an abundant amount of leaves in 

the front yard, but they didn’t get 

that far. 

I spent part of the day Friday 

helping set up the Pathways 

church bazaar and reported for 

duty at 7:30 Saturday morning. 

We had several booths set up and 

served a turkey dinner from 11:00 

to 1:00. Some of the ladies had 

quilted a pretty big quilt, which 

was raffled off, and they had a 

silent auction for four decorated 

Christmas trees. We closed and 

packed everything that was left 

over at 2:00. On Sunday morning 

they announced that they sold 

all of the baked goods, candy and 

apple butter, served around 200 

turkey dinners, made a little over 

$600 on the quilt raffle and ended 

up with $6,100 which will go 

into the United Methodist Women’s 

account and be spent on 

by Margaret Dillabough 

809 East Hill 

Springfield, Mo. 65803 

missions and other worthwhile 

projects. I think that’s pretty 

good for such a small church. 

Tomorrow, November 11, is 

Veterans Day. We have just come 

through a somewhat tumultuous 

election, and we all need to pray 

for our president elect and for this 

country. I certainly hope that a 

lot of the bitterness and nastiness 

of the campaigns will be forgotten 

and that we can move on and 

strive to make this a better country. 

With Veteran’s Day coming 

right after the election, we need 

to reflect and consider the sacrifices 

that so many have made 

for this nation. A clip of one of 

Ronald Reagan’s Veteran’s Day 

speeches was played at church 

yesterday and one statement that 

he made was that those who gave 

their lives for this country actually 

gave up two lives--the one 

they were living when they went 

off to serve our country and the 

one they would have had if they 

had come back. 

I had family members in both 

the First and Second World 

Wars--my grandfather and father. 

I do not remember either 

of them talking that much about 

their war experiences and wish 

now that I had been more inquisitive 

and had asked more 

questions. Of course I find that I 

have that same wish about many 

other things now that everyone is 

gone. 

Yesterday, I picked up a little 

booklet that I had put back without 

looking through it. I knew 

it had pictures in it, but was surprised 

at the rest of the contents. 

First off, was a Registration Certificate 

that says: “To Whom it 

may concern, Greetings: 

That in accordance with the 

proclamation of the President of 

the United States, and in compliance 

with law, Ernest Hair, 

Browns Spring, Mo, Precinct 

(unreadable) County of Stone, 

State of Mo, has submitted himself 

to registration and has by me 

been duly registered this 5th day 

of June 1917. Signed by M. M. 

Cobb, Registrar.” My Pa Hair 

would have been 26 years old 

when he registered on that summer 

day. According to Wikipedia, 

we did not enter the war 

until April of 1917. Within two 

months men were being registered 

for the draft and within 

three months after the registration 

Pa received a pink post card 

from the War Department postmarked 

Sept 17 in Galena. This 

card states: “By direction of the 

Secretary of War, you are hereby 

ordered to report to the office of 

this Local Board at 8 a.m. on the 

21 day of Sept, 1917 for military 

duty and for transportation to 

the Army mobilization camp at 

Camp Funston, Kansas. From 

the date herein specified for you 

to report, you will be in the military 

service of the United States 

and subject to military law. Failure 

to report or unpunctuality are 

grave military offenses punishable 

by court martial. Willful 

failure to report with intention 

to evade military service constitutes 

desertion, which is a capital 

offence in time of war. Present 

yourself at the precise hour 

specified in order that you may 

not begin your military record in 

the service of your country with 

a delinquency. You will be held 

under the orders of this board until 

the hour of departure of your 

train. During this period the Local 

Board will furnish you food 

and lodging. If you live within 

one hour’s travel of the office of 

the Local Board, you may obtain 

permission to sleep and eat at 

home, but only if you fill out and 

forward to the office of the Local 

Board at once the printed application 

for this permission at the 

end of this sheet. You will not 

be permitted to take with you on 

the train anything but hand baggage. 

You do not need bedding 

or changes of clothing except as 

specified below. You may take 

with you only the following articles: 

Soap, shaving accessories, 

comb and brush, toothbrush 

and tooth powder, towels, underclothing 

and socks; and if you 

desire, changes of collars and 

shirts, but you will have no use 

for these after arrival at the mobilization 

camp. Since you will 

not be permitted to retain any 

trunks after your arrival at the 

railroad station, the articles listed 

above should be brought in a 

hand bundle. If you desire to do 

so, you may return the civilian 

clothes you are wearing when 

you arrive at the mobilization 

camp to your home by express 

or otherwise, but if you desire 

to make no such arrangement it 

will be better to appear in civilian 

clothes that you do not care 

to keep. (Dated Sept 17, 1917 

- Local Board for Stone County, 

Mo. Signed by J. M. Flood and 

Lewis L. Moore.” 

My grandfather would have 

still been living at home at that 

time, and I have no idea where 

he was working. He was a carpenter 

by trade, in later years. 

But, can you imagine how he 

and the others who were drafted 

must have felt when they read 

the words on that card. Their 

whole world was turned upside 

down in just a matter of a few 

months. I wonder if they were 

excited, apprehensive or exactly 

what went through their minds. 

When I lived in Abilene, Kansas, 

Pa came to visit one time and 

wanted to tour Fort Riley, Kansas, 

which was originally Camp 

Funston. Of course, there was 

absolutely nothing familiar to 

him as that would have been in 

the early 1960’s, over forty years 

after he was there. 

From Camp Funston he was 

sent to New York City where 

he boarded the U.S.S. Prinz 

Friedrich Wilhelm. He was in 

Compartment H1, Located on 

H Deck Bunk No. (unreadable) 

Washroom No. 1, Latrine No. 1. 

Abandon Ship Mustering Station 

No. 45. He was in the 342nd 

Field Artillery with the rank of 

Cpl. and there are leave papers 

for Aix les Baines, France, the 

Savoie Leave Area and a Coblenz 

Leave Card for Holsthung, 

Germany. There are pictures of 

him in full uniform, holding his 

rifle, and pictures of him by horse 

drawn artillery. He apparently 

wrote to Ma all the time he was 

in the service, because there is 

one post card addressed to Miss 

Merry from Ernest. The little 

green booklet that held all of 

these papers is titled “The American 

Soldiers’ Souvenir of Aixles-Bains” 

and was published by 

The American Y.M.C.A. It has 

my grandfather’s name written 

in the front with a date of Dec. 

27, 1919. The opening page of 

the booklet states that Aix-les- 

Bains was the first place opened 

as a leave area for American 

soldiers in France. Although I 

sometimes complain about all of 

the “stuff” Ma kept, I must admit 

there are some real treasures. 

If Mother kept this much of 

Daddy’s military stuff, it somehow 

got lost in the shuffle. I 

know he was in the Philippines, 

but like so many other men who 

served our country, he didn’t talk 

about his military service all that 

much. I can remember Mother 

crying at night when Daddy was 

gone, as I am sure many other 

wives and children did. I guess 

we all long for the day when, 

“They will beat their swords into 

plowshares and their spears into 

pruning hooks. Nation will not 

take up sword against nation nor 

will they train for war anymore.” 

(Isaiah 2:4) 

“Our values, our principles and 

our determination to succeed as a 

free and democratic people will 

give us a torch to light the way. 

And we will survive and become 

the stronger--not only because of 

a patriotism that stands for love 

of country, but a patriotism that 

stands for love of people.” Gerald 

Ford.

Dios.

Happy upcoming Thanksgiving 

to you all out in Readerville, 

What—no barrage of campaign 

ads every few minutes. I 

am almost having withdrawal 

from that. Cold air has moved 

in to replace all that “hot air” we 

have had to endure during this 

campaign season. 

Post Election 

We are left with all the residue 

and a few promises, prom-

chicken in every pot and a car in 

every garage. I wish they would 

limit all spending, no matter if 

it is obtained local, state or national. 

They do not have to be 

on 24/7. A couple of debates and 

a few ads is all we need. We are 

not stupid. We get it. 

Just think what they could have 

done for the economy if they 

would have put all that money 

into it. But, no, they have to tie up

After severe complications and four surgeries Charity

that I usually get to see such as 

Kirby Hedrick, Ben and Betty 

Loftin, etc. I did enjoy seeing 

Inez Atchison, my sister, Edna 

Ruth Kessinger and her family, 

Ron, Kimberlee, Michael, 

and, of course, the little charming 

Wesley. I also had the pleasure 

of seeing Gertie and Efton 

Pritchard, Sophie Mease, the ladies 

working the polls and several 

others. 

Jo Jo immediately told everyone 

they would have to line up 

because he was an F.B.I man. I 

took him into my booth and let 

him help me vote before he tried 

to take over the polling place. 

It was a good day, even if this 

year’s election was the worst one 

I have ever participated in. But 

we will pray!! 

Here And There 

I saw Norma Johnson while we 

were at Dr. Woodall’s. I had not 

seen her for a coon’s age. It was 

nice to visit with her. Thanks 

goes to my sister-in-law, Rosemary 

Youngblood, for providing 

us with a nice taxi to the doctor’s 

office. We have been missing 

her and her mother, Mary, at our 

Sunday dinners. Hurry and get 

well friend, Mary. 

Mom, once again, caught up 

with all four of her sisters via the 

telephone. This always makes 

her day. Aunt Lorene is still not 

back up to par yet, but we pray 

she will be soon. 

Sick Bay 

There are lots of people sick 

with allergies, changes in the 

weather, and other serious maladies. 

Marie Elder was taken 

to the E.R. She has not been 

well for months after suffering 

a stroke and its residual effects. 

We want to send our finest bouquet 

of wishes tied with ribbons 

of prayer to all of you who are 

suffering from one thing or another. 

Birthdays 

Dr. Bill Cruce in K.C. made 

a trip to Wichita to spend a few 

days with his mother, my sweet 

Aunt Edna Cruce and family. He 

wanted his favorite fried chicken 

for his birthday, but Auntie had 

just done that meal so he got to 

dine on smothered steak instead. 

Too bad Billy boy. 

My ornery nephew, Mike Kessinger, 

will have a birthday on 

November 24. My angel from 

heaven, Mary Jr, along with 

Pastor Barnes celebrated on November 

7. They share this day 

with Dr. Billy Graham. Jodi 

McIntosh climbed another rung 

on November 7 also. Hey, Kimberlee 

Kessinger, what did you 

say about Old Jodi, or was that 

“ole”Jodi? 

Complex 

All you people have given 

me a complex with your caller 

I.D.’s. You call a number and no 

one answers. You call again and 

get the same results. You now 

begin to wonder – are they ignoring 

me, don’t want to talk to 

me, or are they really not home? 

I think they should do away with 

that dratted thing. Enough is 

enough. 

Better Late Than Sorry 

There was a wedding, some 

gallivanters, and a future wedding 

that I failed to cover. I am 

not sure who is to blame for this, 

but I know it is not me.

Be Careful

News from the Stone County Health Department 

Angela Ford, Administrator 

Stone County Health Department 

Offers Food Safety 

Tips for Holidays 

With the holiday season in full 

swing, people will gather for a 

wide variety of family meals, office 

parties, community/church 

banquets and other events where 

food will be a main attraction. 

Nothing brings people together 

like food. While these events are 

central to holiday celebration, 

there is an increased chance that 

people will get sick from a foodborne 

illness. The risk of a foodborne 

outbreak is even greater 

when multitudes of people eat 

the same food; it just takes one 

bad sauce, dip, or pie etc., to 

make numerous people seriously 

ill. The Stone County Health 

Department (SCHD) encourages 

you to be very careful when pre- 

paring, serving, and storing foods 

for parties, celebrations, dinners, 

and banquets. The SCHD is offering 

some simple but effective 

food safety tips to help protect 

you, your family, and guests 

from holiday food-borne illness. 

Holiday Food Safety Tips 

Thawing: 

Thawing a turkey in the refrigerator 

can take two days or more, 

depending on weight. Make sure 

the turkey is thawed completely. 

Allow approximately 24 hours 

for every 4 – 5 pounds. 

Turkeys and other poultry can 

be thawed in cold water, but the 

water should be changed every 

30 minutes. 

Allow approximately 30 minutes 

per pound when thawing in 

cold water. 

Do not thaw poultry in micro- 

wave or low-temp oven; this can 

encourage bacteria growth. 

Do not use thawing platter 

or basin again until properly 

washed/sanitized. 

Cooking: 

Cook stuffed turkey, other 

poultry and ground meats to 165 

degrees taken at center. 

For turkeys, internal cooking 

temperature should be 165 degrees 

in area between leg and 

thigh. 

Always use a thermometer to 

measure the temperature of the 

turkey or other cooked meats. 

Preparation/Sanitation 

Avoid cross contamination 

of food preparation surfaces. 

Always wash hands, utensils, 

the sink, and anything else that 

comes in contact with raw turkey 

and its juices with soap and water. 

Never cut vegetables or other 

foods on the same cutting board 

as raw poultry, fish, or ground 

meats. 

Sanitize preparation surfaces 

with a solution of one (1) cap 

bleach to one-gallon water. 

Sanitize sink after rinsing turkey 

and other fresh meats and 

before fixing vegetables with solution 

of one (1) capful of bleach 

for each gallon of water. Let 

stand, then drain, running garbage 

disposal to sanitize while 

draining. 

Thoroughly wash hands with 

warm soapy water and rinse 

well, especially before serving 

or eating a meal. 

Storing 

Keep hot foods hot (at least 

135°F) and cold foods cold (no 

warmer than 41°F). 

Creamy sauces, gravies and 

desserts should go into the refrigerator 

promptly. 

Put turkey and other cooked 

poultry in the refrigerator no 

more than two hours after cook- 


ing. Do not let high-risk foods 

sit out to snack on. 

For faster cooling of cooked 

turkey and other poultry, before 

refrigerating, remove meat from 

bone and store in shallow pans in 

the refrigerator. 

Refrigerator temperatures 

should always be kept at about 

40 degrees F. 

Freezer should keep food frozen 

solid.

Eat leftovers within three to 

four days or place in freezer. 

Cold turkey should be fine to 

eat if it was cooked and cooled 

properly. 

If cooked leftovers are to be 

eaten hot, cook to 165 degrees 

internal temperature.

work on Saturday morning he 

went to clean out the Hippie Bus 

like he always does and found 

that the amp was taken. His stereo 

and speakers were still there, 

but someone took his amp that 

he worked so hard to get. We still 

have the box that it came in and 

the receipt. He has only had it 

for five months, so it is still new. 

We need your help to get it back. 

The amp is a 1200 watt Crunch 

Amp and it glows blue “crunch” 

on top of it when it’s hooked up. 

Its silver and about eight inches 

by twelve inches in size. We just 

want it back. Ty is the best son 

and friend you could ever ask for 

he has never harmed a person or 

thing in his life. So why would 

they do this to him? We will never 

know, but we will still pray 

for them. I know Ty did when 

he went to church Sunday morning. 

Please give back his amp; 

no questions asked just give it 

back that is all we want. So if 

you know who or where it is call 

the police or tell one of us, or just 

put it back where you got it. Everyone 

knows where the Hippie 

Bus works, drop it off there. Just 

give it back to Ty. No questions 

asked. Please give it back. 

Thank you and God Bless, 

John and Trena Ayers 

Ty Shirley “Hippie” 

P.S. We were told that the 

thieves came from a party on 

Olive Street Friday night. That’s 

one block from our street which 

is College Street that’s walking 

distance. So if you know who 

was at the party please help find 

Ty’s amp and give it back to him. 

Thank you.

McDonald 30th Anniversary 

Friends and family would like to wish Virgil and Susan 

(Kuoppamaki) McDonald a Happy 30th Wedding Anniversary. They 

were married in Crane at groom’s parents home on November 11, 

1978. 

After a long and tiring election 

season we finally have a picture 

of Missouri’s political future. 

Some will say the picture is 

blurred, others will say it is bright 

and clear. Let me share with you 

what I see for our state. 

As I write this message the day 

after a national Democratic tidal 

wave, it’s easy to hang our heads 

and lick our wounds. While I admit 

that the races didn’t all go the 

way I’d hoped they would, there 

are some very positive results 

that few are talking about. I’ll 

be the first to admit that Republicans 

nationwide lost many more 

elections than they won. But as 

I take a closer look at the results 

here in Missouri from November 

4th, I feel better and actually I am 

finding a lot of positive results. 

Republicans won 89 seats in 

the Missouri House and still have 

a solid and unified majority. We 

won 90 seats and took control of 

the House in November 2002 for 

the first time in 48 years; so to 

hold 89 seats in a very poor environment 

for Republicans is remarkable. 

The Missouri Senate 

Republicans actually expanded 

their control by adding three 

more Senators to their ranks, 

giving them a 23 to 11 advantage. 

Missouri broke the mold 

and voted for John McCain. Missouri 

voters refuse to be told how 

to act and vote and show why we 

are still ‘The Show-Me State’! 

Let me give you a quick update 

on what took place in some other 

legislatures on Election Day. 

The Tennessee House switched 

from Democrat control (53-46) 

to Republican control (51-48). 

The Delaware House switched 

from Republican control (22-19) 

to Democrat control (26-15). In 

Wood’s Capitol Comments 

Dennis Woods 

62nd District State Representative 

House Post Office, State Capital, Room 410B, Jefferson City, MO 65101. 

Ohio, the House switched from 

Republican control (52-46 with 

1 vacancy) to Democrat control 

(51-46 with 2 still undecided), 

while the Wisconsin Assembly 

switched from Republican control 

(51-47-1) to Democrat control 

(52-46-1). 

Overall, a total of nine (9) 

chambers switched party hands. 

Five chambers switched from 

Republican to Democrat - New 

York Senate, Delaware House, 

Ohio House, Wisconsin Assembly 

and Nevada Senate. 

Four chambers switched from 

Democrat to Republican - Tennessee 

House, Tennessee Senate, 

Montana Senate and Oklahoma 

Senate. 

States still being monitored as 

of Wednesday the 5th are the; 

Montana House, Indiana House, 

Alaska Senate and Texas House. 

Thank you for trusting in me 

again to represent you in the Missouri 

House of Representatives. 

As I head back to the Capitol, I 

will always keep your views and 

ideals in my mind. 

Change has taken place. I will 

wait to see what direction our 

new Governor wants to take our 

state, but I can assure you that I 

will never back away from the 

principles and ideals that I stand 

for. To me, the message is clear... 

keep fighting for smaller government 

and lower taxes. 

That’s just what I intend to do. 

Thanks again for allowing me 

to represent you in the state capitol. 

Feel free to contact me with 

your suggestions and ideas. My 

office phone is 573-751-2492 or 

write to: State Representative 

Dennis Wood, House Post Office,

Fletcher Kills Buck Missouri 

Department of 

Conservation 

By Francis Skalicky 

In these last few days leading 

up to Saturday’s opening day 

of firearms deer season, much 

attention is going to be paid to 

scouting, travel plans and any 

other hunt preparation that’s yet 

to be done. This, of course, will 

be followed by the excitement of 

actually hunting on Saturday (or 

Sunday, if that’s the first opportunity 

you have to get out). 

In the midst of all this preparation 

and excitement, don’t forget 

about safety. Safety is always the 

most important aspect of deer 

season but, unfortunately, this 

is the point in the season when 

some hunters begin to forget 

that. 

Of course, the “deer season” 

I’m referring to is the November 

firearms deer season, which 

runs from November 15 through 

November 25. This is the main 

event of Missouri’s hunting calendar. 

Throughout this big event, 

it’s important for hunters to remain 

safety-conscious. Safety 

Pictured above is Noah Fletcher, 13-year-old grandson of Roger

good judgment as hunters take 

to the field and woods with an 

anticipation that’s been building 

since last November. Safety 

Vaught Receives Rodeo Awards will be equally important in the 

latter days of the season when, 

for some hunters, the frustration 

factor will start to kick in. Some 

hunters will have seen whitetails, 

but they weren’t close enough to 

get a good shot at. There will be 

other hunters who haven’t seen 

anything and are afraid their favorite 

time of year is going to be 

nothing but a bust. 

Some hunters are going to have 

strong urges to stretch the safety 

guidelines they learned in hunter 

education or from older hunting 

peers. Less attention will be paid 

to positive identification of a 

deer by some individuals. Good 

judgment will begin to get nosed 

out by risk. 

That’s why now is an excellent 

time to review the basic safety 

principles of deer hunting (which 

are actually principles of any type 

of safe hunting). Think about it 

this way: Which will leave a bigger 

impression in your memory 

– shooting a deer or shooting another 

human being?

as a male or female before you 

shoot.) 

Never assume you are the only 

hunter in an area, even if you’re 

hunting on private property. Assume 

every sound or movement 

is another hunter until it has been 

safely and positively identified 

otherwise. 

Always take a moment to look 

beyond your target before you 

pull the trigger. This helps to ensure 

that a potentially occupied 

building, previously un-noticed 

livestock, or a previously un-noticed 

hunter – is not in your line 

of fire. 

Never take your safety “off” 

until a deer has been positively 

identified and you are ready to 

pull the trigger. This helps to 

keep your rifle from going off at 

an un-planned moment. In addition 

to the obvious safety aspects, 

this makes just plain good 

hunting sense, too. All it takes is 

one accidental discharge of your 

gun to spook the deer away from 

your hunting area for the remainder 

of the day (and perhaps the 

next several days as well). 

Hunters are reminded that, after 

the November firearms season, 

there will still be several opportunities 

to hunt deer. The second 

half of the archery season runs 

from November 26 through January 

15. The muzzle-loader portion 

of fall firearms deer hunting 

runs from November 28 through 

December 7. The firearms antlerless 

portion of fall deer hunting, 

a hunting opportunity valid in 67 

counties in Missouri, is December 

13 through December 21. 

Finally, the second part of the 

youth firearms deer season will 

be January 3 through January 

4. More information about deer 

hunting can be found at your 

nearest Missouri Department of 

Conservation office or at www. 

missouriconservation.org

Preparing Your Home for Winter Weather 

The first day of winter is not 

until December 21, but many 

homeowners in the state may be 

taken by surprise by dropping 

temperatures. “The time to winterize 

your home is before the 

cold weather really sets in,” according 

to Ray Palermo, director 

of public relations for Response 

Insurance. He said that taking a 

few simple steps now could save 

time, money and a lot of stress 

later on, adding “prevention is 

the key in maintaining a safe and 

warm environment, and in minimizing 

the risk of winter damage.” 

Indoors: Chimneys used for 

wood burning stoves and fireplaces 

should be checked for 

creosote build up. This tar like 

substance can lead to a chimney 

fire if not cleaned off. Have 

a professional check your home 

heating system both for energy 

efficiency and carbon monoxide. 

Buy a carbon monoxide detector 

for any nearby living spaces and 

affix it near the ceiling. Never 

use a kerosene heater. If a space 

heater is needed, use only an enclosed 

heating element product 

with an approval label from an 

independent testing organization, 

such as Underwriters Laboratories. 

Nearly half of a home’s 

heat loss is through the roof. 

Senator Jack 

Goodman 

Re-elected to 

Leadership 

Position 

Senator Jack Goodman (R-Mt. 

Vernon) last week on November 

6 was unanimously re-elected 

by his peers to serve as Assistant 

Majority Floor Leader of the 

Missouri Senate Majority Caucus. 

“Jack is a strong voice who 

stands up to special interests 

for his district and the people 

of Missouri,” presumptive Senate 

Leader Charlie Shields (R- 

St. Joseph) said. “His continued 

leadership as Assistant Majority 

Floor Leader will help us continue 

to protect taxpayers, especially 

in these uncertain times.” 

Senator Goodman was reelected 

to his position in a party 

caucus in the state Capitol following 

last Tuesday’s General 

Election. He will work in concert 

with floor leader Sen. Kevin 

Engler (R-Farmington) to help 

set legislative priorities for their 

party and lead the effort to advance 

said priorities. 

“Once again, I am honored to 

be selected by my peers to serve 

in this important leadership position,” 

Sen. Goodman said. “The 

legislative session is just two 

months away, and I am looking 

forward to continuing our important 

work in improving the lives 

of Missourians across the state.” 

The First Regular session of 

the 95th General Assembly will 

convene in Jefferson City on 

January 7. 

Make sure your attic has insulation 

with an R-value of at least 

45. Weather strip windows and 

doors to maximize your heating 

efficiency. 

Outdoors: Clean gutters of debris 

and fall leaves to prevent ice 

build up that can back up under 

the roof line. Swimming pools 

should be drained to the manufacturers 

recommended water 

level and winterized with the 

recommended pH level and chlorine, 

Drain skimmer, heater filter, 

pump and piping, Disconnect and 

store any water slides or diving 

boards and secure the fence and 

gate around the pool. Be sure to 

close the interior shut-off valve 

of any exterior water faucets and 

then drain any remaining water 

from the exterior faucet itself. 

Disconnect any hoses and drain 

out any remaining water. Insulate 

exterior faucets and pipes to 

help prevent freezing.
