SUMMER SCHOOL
Summer School for Ralls County
R-II students will be June 1- June 26;
8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.
At New London Elementary, students
are nominated by their teacher as the
monthly ‘Habit Hero’ for displaying one
of Steve Covey’s Seven Habits in their
classroom. Students are recognized at
the end of the month on a Friday for
their leadership within the classroom,
and their families are invited to attend
to help celebrate the students’ 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 February:
Jase Goodhart-kindergarten, Habit
1–Be Proactive: “Jase is a great model of
Habit 1-Be Proactive and has been working so hard in the month of February.
Jase has remembered that in order for
he and his friends to be able to learn on
the carpet he needs to STAR the speaker
and remember to KAHFOOTY. During
our Monday lead times, he is proactive
in thinking of ways our class can make
the week even better than the week before. Jase understands that when you begin with the end in mind you can meet
some awesome goals! For example, Jase
has saved up enough tickets to eat with
Mrs. Gibson at the end of this quarter.
Congratulations and keep up the great
work Jase-you are a true Habit Hero!”
Jase is the son of Jade and Bobby Dotson; and Joe Goodhart and the grandson of Clem and Donna Goodwin; Jim
Quinlin; and Bob and Carol Dotson.
Amaris Melvin-kindergarten, Habit 1
& 3-Be Proactive/Put First Things First:
“Amaris has really been working hard
this past month and has shown what being a true habit hero is all about.
Amaris is always thinking about putting first things first. She works very
hard during her work time so she can
have fun at recess and enjoy her time
there. If she makes a mistake on her
work, she is always quick to fix it and
make it correct. Amaris has also been
demonstrating Habit #1-Be Proactive.
When I see her on the carpet she is already ‘starring’ without me even asking
her. I am so proud of how hard Amaris
has been working this past month. She is
a great leader in our classroom. Keep up
the great work, Amaris!”
Amaris is the daughter of Janelle and
Michael McPike of New London and
Curtis Melvin of Hazelwood.

Fifty-four seniors graduated from
Mark Twain High School at 2 p.m.
Sunday, May 17. A packed gymnasium
watched as the seniors marched in to
the tune of “Pomp and Circumstance”
performed by the Mark Twain High
School Band under the direction of
Daniel Lewis.
Zoeie Epperson, Senior Class President, welcomed family and friends
and Superintendent Deanette Jarman
introduced the speakers.
Corey Gilmore, Salutatorian, spoke
about the changes facing the young
adults in the future and urged them
not to let past mistakes weigh down the
future. “Mistakes happen, don’t regret
the past choices, rejoice in the right
choices.”
Jill Alexander, Valedictorian, made
her speech into a poem which reminisced about school days from Kindergarten until graduation.
Jill Alexander played guitar as she
and Zoeie Epperson sang a special
song.
The Honorable David C. Mobley
addressed the seniors and challenged
them to practice kindness and integrity and to develop strength of character.
These traits, said Mobley, “…can be
had by anyone and cost you nothing.”
He continued, “The world is fresh in
front of you … impact it for the better.”
Graduates then took roses from
ushers, Clayton Robinson and McKen-
zie Johnston and went into the crowd
to present them to family members.
Mike Boedeker, MTHS principal,
presented the graduates attesting that
they had met the requirements for
graduation. Pete Hilgenbrinck, President, Board of Education, then presented each graduate with their diploma.
A change of the tassel, celebratory
whoops, tossed caps and silly string
explosions marked the end of their
long journey through hallowed halls
of learning. Graduates stepped lively
and smiled through a few tears as they
marched out to the strains of “Triumphal March” from AIDA.

COMMENTARY
COMMENTARY
From The
Editor
By Editor
Carolyn Trower
It’s all over, including
the shouting. Fifty-four
newly-minted graduates
have entered the wide
world of college, military
service and jobs.
The gymnasium Sunday afternoon was packed
with parents, grandparents, family members and
friends. Some came from
a distance to share this
milestone with their graduate, but most came from
the local area. Those who
came after 1:30 found
it difficult to find a seat.
Every face was a kaleidoscope of emotion. Tears
were wiped away even
as proud parents smiled.
Where did the past 18
years go?
The graduates were just
COMMENTARY
Hawk
Talk
By John Hawkins
Perry, MO
THE LONG WEEKEND
Well, here it is: the Memorial Sales Extravaganza. The time to go lay on
a mattress, sit on a sofa,
smell a new car before firing-up the new grill. The
celebration of capitalism
will be diligently observed
by oil companies, air lines
and all buy-one-get-onefree/0% financing/cash
cow rebate/red, white and
blue savings spectaculars.
Planning ahead, you
plan to fill up with petrol
on your way home as to be
ready for a jump-start on
vacation morning. (This
would, of course, indicate
that you are not a convenience store, big box store,
or recreation employee or
an emergency responder.)
Reality check: it would
have been several dollars
cheaper to have filled up
that morning.
“Man, if I had just
known…” (Like this is
your first travel holiday?)
If they had known
what they later found out
would:
Those who were arrested and hung for signing the Declaration of
Independence still have
signed?
Those who gathered at
Valley Forge in late fall
chosen to winter?
Those who sailed with
John Paul Jones volunteered? (Actually, the
captain’s name was only

COMMENTARY
Jack
Remembers
By Jack Hackley
The Democratic
Party in Jackson County presented me with the
“Harry Truman Achievement Award” at their
Truman Days banquet
in front of 500 people
at the Adams Mark Hotel. When I looked over
the crowd, I suspected I
was the only one present
who had met and talked
with President Truman. I was at a cocktail party
at the Hotel Muehlebach
prior to a dinner where
Truman was to receive
an award. When Harry
found out I was from Oak
Grove, he started asking
me about some of the old
timers he knew when he
was our Eastern Judge
(commissioner). Here I
was, talking to what had
been the most powerful
as hard to read. Happy?
Sad? Anxious? Some of
each I think. High school
graduation is a big milestone marking one of the
pivotal points in a young
person’s life. I remember
thinking, “This is it, I’m
an adult now.” That wasn’t
quite true. Age and even
a diploma don’t make
you an adult. Experience
and becoming self-aware
and self-sufficient were
key components to adulthood. There are some
rocky roads yet to be traveled.
As a parent you hope
and pray that you have
prepared your children
with manners, morals,
a sense of common decency, compassion and a
strong work ethic. You’ve
been the sports parent,
taken them to church, giv-
en them opportunities for
summer camps and taken
family vacations. You’ve
nagged, cried and yelled
in frustration. You’ve
prayed, appealed to reason and finally played the
ultimate parent card, “Because I said so.”
All the late night study
sessions and the last minute runs for project supplies have led to the final
walk across the stage.
Broken hearts and broken
bones have been mended.
Friendships have shattered, some forever, others strengthened through
adversity and tolerance.
Pride and fear, anticipation and anxiety;
all hallmarks of having
raised a teenager through
graduation. Now everyone can rest, at least for a
while.
the trenches or waded
amphibious landings or
otherwise endured the
fury of determined adversaries have stood between
their country and subjugation?
Those who supplied
Ho Chi Mihn with weapons foreseen Korea or
Vietnam?
Those who proclaimed
Vietnam ready for democracy or that a divided Iraq
could protect and govern
itself have not been proponents of “change?”
And even hindsight is
not infallible. What if pilots had not been given
the ability to block access
to the cockpit following
911?
Scott Mayerowitz (AP
airlines writer) reports
on discussion to allow
ground personnel to
override a rogue pilot. A
former pilot warns that
“ground personnel” could
well include hackers.
Missouri applied a
“spell check” approach
to legislation in at least
two instances. The difference between something
that “looks correct” and
something that conveys
the true meaning is huge.
The Missouri Constitutional “right to farm” law
apparently “trumps state
law prohibiting growing
marijuana.” Likewise, a St.
Louis City Circuit Judge
ruled that the (gun rights)
amendment now allows
felons to possess firearms.
While the stumbles
by Jeb Bush and Marco
Rubio when questioned
about hindsight on Iraq
are certainly embarrassing, the totality of the issue in question is murky
at best. Does a “weapon of
mass destruction distinguish between hardware
and ideology? Which kills
more humanely, ISIS or
nerve gas?
Perhaps the “hindsight” question should
be asked about the administration’s timing and
totality of withdrawal. In
Vietnam, we knew that
Communist forces were
waiting to advance, but
politics and protesters
and practicality demanded withdrawal. Pretty ell
the same scenario in Iraq,
on reasons to leave, but
as it turns out the “intelligence”
concerning
instability in Iraq given
to President Obama was
no more accurate than
“hardware intelligence”
given to President George
W. Bush. But, as Hilary
would say, “What difference does it make?”
man in the world, and all
I could think about was
how short he was. I have always had
an interest in politics
and back then, President
Truman. When I was
sixteen and read in the
newspapers the President
was coming home to the
“summer White House”,
I would drive to Independence and watch him ride
around the square in an
open Chrysler convertible before going home. It
would take him at least 45
minutes or longer to get
around the square where
hundreds of people had
gathered. The car would
stop several times, and
Harry would talk to different folks he knew, with
two Secret Service men
walking in front of the
convertible. One time, when I
knew the President was
in Independence, I drove
my old 1935 Ford over to
the Truman Home to see
if I could see him. All of
a sudden he came out of
the house across the street
and was going back to his
house while two Secret
Service men had run out
into the street to stop traffic (me). The only thing
wrong, that Ford had mechanical brakes. I stood
on them and was only
slowing down. Truman
was walking fast and got
across the street while
the Secret Service men
realized I couldn’t get
stopped and jumped out
of the way. I had almost
run over the President of
the United States.

CAPITOL REPORT
Time Flies
When Keeping Busy
This coming week
is the last of the 2015
legislative session for
Missouri’s 98th General Assembly. It’s hard to
believe it is already May,
but time does fly when
keeping so busy. This
week will be no exception. The House will begin work on the floor at
2:00 pm on Monday and
adjourn for the year at
6:00 pm on Friday. The
legislature will be considering and voting on
many bills that originated in the House, Senate,
and conference committee. There will be a lot of
discussion before these
last pieces of legislation
are truly agreed upon
and passed.
Missouri’s Economy
Continues to Grow
The state received
good news this week
as the latest economic
numbers show Missouri’s revenues continue to increase at a rate
faster than anticipated.
To date, revenues have
grown by 7.7 percent
compared to last year.
The number represents
a considerable increase
over what the governor
had predicted, and based
his budget on, with a 4.6
percent growth estimate.
The additional dollars prompted the governor to release some
of the withheld funds
he had kept back as he
claimed revenues were
insufficient to fund all
of the items in the budget. Already the state has
paid back $400 million
it had borrowed from
the state’s reserve fund.
In addition, this week
the governor released
another $67 million in
withheld funding. These
dollars will go to building projects on college
campuses around the
state, college scholarship
programs, transportation funding for K-12
schools, and several other vital programs.
General
Assembly
Overrides Governor’s
Veto of Welfare Reform
Bill (SB 24)
The members of the
Missouri House and
Senate worked together this week to override
the governor’s veto of
legislation meant to reform Missouri’s system
of welfare so that it does
a better job of moving
folks out of poverty and
toward self-sufficiency.
The override motion
cleared the House by a
vote of 113-42 and the
Senate by a vote of 25-9.
The legislation will
lower the lifetime benefits for Temporary Assistance for Needy Families
recipients to 45 months
from the current limit
of 60 months. In addition, it will add Missouri to the list of 37 other
states that require welfare recipients to take
immediate steps to seek
employment in order
to receive benefits. The
legislation then takes
the savings generated by
the reforms and invests
them in child care, education, transportation
and job training assistance for participants in
the TANF program.
Missouri House Gives
Final Approval to Municipal Court Reform
Bill (SB 5)
Another bill on its
way to the governor’s
desk would protect Missourians from some
municipalities that have
exhibited
predatory
practices to raise revenue through excessive
traffic tickets. The bill
approved by the House
and Senate is designed
to shut down “speed
traps” by limiting the
amount of revenue municipalities can generate
from traffic violations.
The plan that is now
just a signature from the
governor away from becoming law would limit
the amount of revenue
municipalities can generate from traffic tickets
to 20 percent, which is
down from the current
limit of 30 percent. The
bill further limits municipalities in St. Louis
County, so that only 12.5
percent of their total
revenue can be derived
from traffic tickets.
I will put out a final Capitol Report next
week or the week after
concerning all the bills
agreed upon and finally
passed. It will also include highlights of all
the work done by this
year’s 98th General Assembly.
Thank you all for
making this a productive session. I have enjoyed getting to hear
from so many constituents expressing support
and concern.
Working on your behalf,

COUNTY
HISTORY
Perry Missouri “Enterprise” July 12, 1900
The
Jester
Trail
There is a rumor that the
Jester case will not be for
trial next Monday when
it is called, but is likely to be dismissed, because the state has been
unable to satisfactorily
prove the death of Gilbert Gates. This rumor
has reached considerable prominence, having
been published in several papers in adjoining
counties. This rumor
is entirely unfounded.
The prosecution will be
ready for trail and so will
the defense, both sides
getting ready for trial.
The prosecutions claim
that they have a strong
case against the defendant
and will prove the “corpus delecti” or the death
of Gates beyond a doubt.
The dense insists that
the prosecution will
not be able to satisfactorily prove the Gates
was ever murdered, or
is dead. They say that it
frequently happens that
people disappear and are
not heard of for many
years and are given up
for dead and after a long
time appear alive and all
right. In support of this
they cite three instances, familiar to a great
many of the readers of
Ralls County, as follows.
First, the disappearance
of Abner Knight. Shortly
after the close of the Civil
War, Abner Knight came
to Ralls County from the
state of Virginia; bring
with him his wife and
several children. For a
number of years he lived
in Saverton Township,
Ralls County and about
seventeen year ago, Mr.
Knight decided to visit some relatives in the
state of Georgia. Accordingly, he told his family
goodbye and stated upon
his mission. Some weeks
elapsed and Mr. Knight’s
family, not hearing from
him his relatives were
written to as his whereabouts, word came that
Mr. Knight had safely
arrived had afterwards
disappeared and that his
people had no knowledge of his whereabouts
and not long after this,
intelligence was received
from Georgia, a body
or the remains of a man
had been found which
they had every reason
to believe those of Mr.
Knight. The belief of his
death then became a settled conviction with his
family and further inquiry was relinquished.
Believing he was dead,
Mrs. Knight, within a few
years married Milford
McElroy, of Saverton
Township, this county.
Mr. McElroy died a few
years ago and his widow
lives in Hannibal. A few
weeks ago Mrs. Knight’s

daughter in Hannibal received a letter direct from
his relatives in Georgia
saying he was alive and
living in that locality.
Second, the disappearance of Silas Carter, from
Perry. Mr. Carter was
raised in Ralls County
and married here and
they had one child. His
wife died and about
twenty years ago he was
living near Perry with his
mother. All at once he
disappeared without any
warning or telling anyone where he was going.
He never came back and
after careful search he
was given up as dead and
supposed to have been
murdered. About fifteen
years after Carter’s disappearance, one Mansfield
King, who lived near
Perry, at the time of this
disappearance and who
has a notorious criminal
was arrested and put in
jail at Clayton MO, for
horse stealing and in jail
Mr. King proceeded to
make some very strong
confessions,
among
which he stated that he
had murdered Silas Carter and put him in Lick
Creek. This confession
was published in the St.
Louis paper and drifted out to California and
there it ran upon Silas
Carter, alive and doing
well. He read it and was
induced by this incident
to write back to his son,
Peter Carter telling him
of his disappearance and
that he was then living
in California. This was
the first information as
to Carter’s whereabouts
since his disappearance.
Third, the case of Eva B.
Liter, who many years
ago, moved with her
husband from Ralls
County to Montana and
there they bought a farm
of 160 acres. Not long
thereafter, her husband
perished in storm and
Mrs. Liter wrote to her
mother who lived in New
London that she and her
two children would soon
return to Ralls County Missouri. They never
arrived and Mrs. Liter’s
relatives here made every
search and investigation,
to learn what became
of these parties, but no
trace could be found of
them, except that they
had started and were supposed to have been killed
or perished on the way
to the nearest station, as
they would have to pass
through a new and wild
country in going to the
railroad. After eighteen
years had elapsed without a word as to what
had become of the parties they were given up
for dead. The relatives
of Mrs. Liter, living in
New London, to whom
the land would descend
under the law, in case
dearth of her and her
children, instituted proceedings in the court of
Montana to recover the
10 acre farm in that State.
The evidence was heard,
as to the disappearance
and supposed death of
these parties and the case
was finally taken to the
Supreme Court of Montana and that court decided that under the evidence that Mrs. Liter and
the two children were
dead and decreed the
land to relations. A few
months afterwards to the
surprise of everyone Mrs.
Liter was heard from, she
was living in the State
of Nevada, where she
had been postmistress
for four years out there
under Harrison’s administration. Her two
daughters were also alive,
married and doing well,
one of them had been
living in St. Joseph Missouri for several years.
Whether Gates is dead
alive remains to be determined in the course
of the trial to begin next

know what to pray for or
how to pray as this very
thing was reported as fact
on the evening news last
week. I think Abraham’s
prayer for Sodom gives us
the example for prayer in
this.
My
prayer
was
this, (LORD) count not
the opinions of those of
spiritual wickedness in
high places the same as
the 1000’s upon 1000’s
who still Love You and
Need You every day in this
land we Love. (Thank
You Lord!)

The choir singing
“Reach Out To Jesus”
opened the worship service on May 17 for the
Perry Christian Church. Pastor Nancy Kellstrom
gave the welcome. Don
Kellstrom is to stay off his
injured foot but sent his
thanks for the cards and
prayers.
«Voice Of Truth” was
sung in praise. Congratulations go to the Laird’s
grandson on his graduation and to all the graduates. Cross Evans was
able to go home from the
hospital and Floyd Seelow
was able to be at church
again. Arlen had his two
year old granddaughter visiting and admitted
“there is a reason grandparents are not parents”.
The Prayer Hymn
was «My Faith Looks Up
To Thee”. Ernie Baker and
Donald Laird are our concerns. “Hear Our Prayer,
O Lord” was the choir’s
response.
Pastor›s
communion meditation came
from Acts, 1 and 2 Corinthians. «Break Thou The
Bread Of Life” was sung
before sharing the Lord’s
Supper.

Enduring Faith
In the parable of the
sower an enemy slips in in
the night and sows tares
among the good seed and
the hard labor of the good
man .And as the grain appeared so did the tares.
What to do he thought if
I pull the tares I also destroy the wheat also.
Jesus said, Let both
grow together, I will sort
them out on harvest day.
Spiritual wickedness in
high places sow tares
in the night when they
say Christianity is dying
and The United States Of
America does not need
God anymore! It’s hard to
companied Arlen as he
sang the “Spirit Song” for
our music special.
The Children›s Moment was given by Pastor
Nancy as she explained
that praying didn›t always have to be done on
our knees with folded
hands but could be done
at any time. She issued
them to pray for one of
their friends at any time
this week.
1 John 5:9-13 was
read by Danielle Berry. The pastor›s sermon
was «Do You Solemnly
Swear». John confirms
that Jesus had a fully human life. He called Jesus
«The Word», giving the
gift of eternal life. When
we walk the way that Jesus walked and love one
another we give our testimony.
«The Savior Is Waiting» was the invitation
hymn. The Pastor›s benediction was that we pray
for one another and be
a witness for Jesus this
week. «Amazing Grace”
was sung to close the service.
Everyone is welcome
to join us and share the
Spirit of our church family.
Our
Service
was warmed up by our
New Oakland Gospel
Singers with, “Are You
Walking?” by Hank Williams. Pastor Glenn welcomed everyone and read
the announcements prior
to start of our service.
Special Music was by
Linda Hammond and
Wanda Cozort, “Even the
Valley.” Congregational
Hymns were “Praise God,
from Whom All Blessings Flow” and “At Calvary.” Offertory Hymn was
“I’d Rather Have Jesus.”
Special Music by Steve
Cress was “I Can Only
Imagine.”
The Pastor’s message
was entitled “Trials” based
on James 1:1-11. James
reminds us of the reality
that even in the Christian
life, there are trials and
temptations. Verse 2 says
trials WILL come, because he didn’t say IF you
have trials, but WHEN
you have trials. Understand that trials are a fact
of life. They happen to
the rich and the poor. The
young and old. The highly educated and those
who do not have a lot of
schooling.
Some people think
that once they become a
believer in Jesus Christ
that they won’t have any
more problems or sickness. Apostle Peter said,
“Dear friends, do not be
surprised at the fiery trials you are going through
as if something strange
were happening to you.
Instead rejoice because
these trials will make you
partners with Christ in
His suffering, and afterward you will have the
wonderful joy of sharing
his glory when it is displayed to all the world.
Your trial may be spiritual, financial, social, physical, emotional and so on.
Simply put, anything that
causes us anxiety.
We all learn patience,
endurance - the ability
to keep going when life
is tough. When we go
through trials, when we
learn to trust God and
obey Him, the result is
patience and character. How are we to pray –
what should we ask God
for? James gives the answer, pray for WISDOM. Someone said, knowledge
is the ability to take things
apart. While WISDOM
is the ability to put them
together. I like that. One
of the hardest things that
God has asked us to do is
to look to HIM in difficult
trials. Psalm 55:22 says
to, “Cast thy burden upon
the LORD, and he shall
sustain thee; he shall never suffer the righteous to
be moved.” Jesus understood and wanted us to
realize that we cannot get
any rest if we are walking
around worried, too burdened to worship GOD. For people to learn
patience, and to become
perfect, complete, and
lacking nothing, ask God
for Wisdom to understand, and then cast your
burdens at the Throne of
Grace.
Hymn of Invitation
was “Turn Your Eyes
upon Jesus.”

The Message “What
to Do in Times of Trouble” was based on scripture from John 17:6-23
In preparation for Pentecost Sunday as we celebrate the beginning of the
church... Jesus gives the
disciples a call - praying
5
for the world, for you and
for me! For those who
were with Him and for
the world. God created
heaven and earth and the
world (a good thing) as
all of the world has fallen
into sin - a place of beauty, but a place that needs
fixing. He will come again
to fix the brokenness Jesus has a prayer for all
the problems. He sent the
Holy Spirit as our guide
and counselor. Put your
faith into action, doing
what Jesus wants you to
do... Blessed are you today who has not seen Jesus, but still believe! Just
as Noah who built the
ark...as Moses who led
the people and Jesus parted the Red Sea, God is a
shepherd who asks you
to do His work... Faith
and courage with God.
Church is a place of healing - a place where you do
not have to walk alone...
God sent you and me...
Services are held every Sunday at 9 a.m. and
all are welcome to come
hear the word of the Lord.
