It’s been mighty chilly the past<br />
few days and we are thankful<br />
for a nice warm fire in the basement<br />
wood burning stove. My<br />
husband loves the warmth plus<br />
watching the bright red flames<br />
through the glass door of the<br />
stove. I thought he was a little<br />
over zealous when he started<br />
gathering firewood in the summer<br />
months. He checked with<br />
a family about a block from us<br />
that had several trees still down<br />
and uncut from the ice storm<br />
and they were grateful to him<br />
for cutting up and hauling the<br />
wood away. Another neighbor<br />
two doors down told him he<br />
was welcome to his wood, so he<br />
brought it home and stacked it<br />
up, also, with the help of Grandsons<br />
Joel and Caleb. We ended<br />
up with a nice wood pile, hopefully<br />
enough for the winter, and<br />
then he up and had his heart attack.<br />
It was sort of the same way<br />
with the flea market booth. We<br />
gave notice that we would be<br />
packed up and out by August 1-he<br />
had the heart attack on August<br />
22. It was almost as if we were<br />
forewarned to get these things<br />
taken care of. We are extremely<br />
fortunate, though, because if we<br />
should run out of wood, Son Earl<br />
has acreage that provides plenty<br />
and grandsons Joel and Caleb<br />
are really good at helping cut and<br />
stack what is needed. I don’t<br />
know how much a cord of wood<br />
costs nowadays, but I’ll bet it’s<br />
pretty pricey.<br />
Joel and Caleb came in on Saturday<br />
and helped my husband<br />
start cleaning up the yard. The<br />
City had been here a few weeks<br />
back and trimmed the trees that<br />
were growing around the utility<br />
lines, but we still had a lot<br />
of trimming and pick up work<br />
in the back yard. We also have<br />
an abundant amount of leaves in<br />
the front yard, but they didn’t get<br />
that far.<br />
I spent part of the day Friday<br />
helping set up the Pathways<br />
church bazaar and reported for<br />
duty at 7:30 Saturday morning.<br />
We had several booths set up and<br />
served a turkey dinner from <strong>11</strong>:00<br />
to 1:00. Some of the ladies had<br />
quilted a pretty big quilt, which<br />
was raffled off, and they had a<br />
silent auction for four decorated<br />
Christmas trees. We closed and<br />
packed everything that was left<br />
over at 2:00. On Sunday morning<br />
they announced that they sold<br />
all of the baked goods, candy and<br />
apple butter, served around 200<br />
turkey dinners, made a little over<br />
$600 on the quilt raffle and ended<br />
up with $6,100 which will go<br />
into the United Methodist Women’s<br />
account and be spent on<br />
by Margaret Dillabough<br />
809 East Hill<br />
Springfield, Mo. 65803<br />
missions and other worthwhile<br />
projects. I think that’s pretty<br />
good for such a small church.<br />
Tomorrow, November <strong>11</strong>, is<br />
Veterans Day. We have just come<br />
through a somewhat tumultuous<br />
election, and we all need to pray<br />
for our president elect and for this<br />
country. I certainly hope that a<br />
lot of the bitterness and nastiness<br />
of the campaigns will be forgotten<br />
and that we can move on and<br />
strive to make this a better country.<br />
With Veteran’s Day coming<br />
right after the election, we need<br />
to reflect and consider the sacrifices<br />
that so many have made<br />
for this nation. A clip of one of<br />
Ronald Reagan’s Veteran’s Day<br />
speeches was played at church<br />
yesterday and one statement that<br />
he made was that those who gave<br />
their lives for this country actually<br />
gave up two lives--the one<br />
they were living when they went<br />
off to serve our country and the<br />
one they would have had if they<br />
had come back.<br />
I had family members in both<br />
the First and Second World<br />
Wars--my grandfather and father.<br />
I do not remember either<br />
of them talking that much about<br />
their war experiences and wish<br />
now that I had been more inquisitive<br />
and had asked more<br />
questions. Of course I find that I<br />
have that same wish about many<br />
other things now that everyone is<br />
gone.<br />
Yesterday, I picked up a little<br />
booklet that I had put back without<br />
looking through it. I knew<br />
it had pictures in it, but was surprised<br />
at the rest of the contents.<br />
First off, was a Registration Certificate<br />
that says: “To Whom it<br />
may concern, Greetings:<br />
That in accordance with the<br />
proclamation of the President of<br />
the United States, and in compliance<br />
with law, Ernest Hair,<br />
Browns Spring, Mo, Precinct<br />
(unreadable) <strong>County</strong> of <strong>Stone</strong>,<br />
State of Mo, has submitted himself<br />
to registration and has by me<br />
been duly registered this 5th day<br />
of June 1917. Signed by M. M.<br />
Cobb, Registrar.” My Pa Hair<br />
would have been 26 years old<br />
when he registered on that summer<br />
day. According to Wikipedia,<br />
we did not enter the war<br />
until April of 1917. Within two<br />
months men were being registered<br />
for the draft and within<br />
three months after the registration<br />
Pa received a pink post card<br />
from the War Department postmarked<br />
Sept 17 in Galena. This<br />
card states: “By direction of the<br />
Secretary of War, you are hereby<br />
ordered to report to the office of<br />
this Local Board at 8 a.m. on the<br />
21 day of Sept, 1917 for military<br />
duty and for transportation to<br />
the Army mobilization camp at<br />
Camp Funston, Kansas. From<br />
the date herein specified for you<br />
to report, you will be in the military<br />
service of the United States<br />
and subject to military law. Failure<br />
to report or unpunctuality are<br />
grave military offenses punishable<br />
by court martial. Willful<br />
failure to report with intention<br />
to evade military service constitutes<br />
desertion, which is a capital<br />
offence in time of war. Present<br />
yourself at the precise hour<br />
specified in order that you may<br />
not begin your military record in<br />
the service of your country with<br />
a delinquency. You will be held<br />
under the orders of this board until<br />
the hour of departure of your<br />
train. During this period the Local<br />
Board will furnish you food<br />
and lodging. If you live within<br />
one hour’s travel of the office of<br />
the Local Board, you may obtain<br />
permission to sleep and eat at<br />
home, but only if you fill out and<br />
forward to the office of the Local<br />
Board at once the printed application<br />
for this permission at the<br />
end of this sheet. You will not<br />
be permitted to take with you on<br />
the train anything but hand baggage.<br />
You do not need bedding<br />
or changes of clothing except as<br />
specified below. You may take<br />
with you only the following articles:<br />
Soap, shaving accessories,<br />
comb and brush, toothbrush<br />
and tooth powder, towels, underclothing<br />
and socks; and if you<br />
desire, changes of collars and<br />
shirts, but you will have no use<br />
for these after arrival at the mobilization<br />
camp. Since you will<br />
not be permitted to retain any<br />
trunks after your arrival at the<br />
railroad station, the articles listed<br />
above should be brought in a<br />
hand bundle. If you desire to do<br />
so, you may return the civilian<br />
clothes you are wearing when<br />
you arrive at the mobilization<br />
camp to your home by express<br />
or otherwise, but if you desire<br />
to make no such arrangement it<br />
will be better to appear in civilian<br />
clothes that you do not care<br />
to keep. (Dated Sept 17, 1917<br />
- Local Board for <strong>Stone</strong> <strong>County</strong>,<br />
Mo. Signed by J. M. Flood and<br />
Lewis L. Moore.”<br />
My grandfather would have<br />
still been living at home at that<br />
time, and I have no idea where<br />
he was working. He was a carpenter<br />
by trade, in later years.<br />
But, can you imagine how he<br />
and the others who were drafted<br />
must have felt when they read<br />
the words on that card. Their<br />
whole world was turned upside<br />
down in just a matter of a few<br />
months. I wonder if they were<br />
excited, apprehensive or exactly<br />
what went through their minds.<br />
When I lived in Abilene, Kansas,<br />
Pa came to visit one time and<br />
wanted to tour Fort Riley, Kansas,<br />
which was originally Camp<br />
Funston. Of course, there was<br />
absolutely nothing familiar to<br />
him as that would have been in<br />
the early 1960’s, over forty years<br />
after he was there.<br />
From Camp Funston he was<br />
sent to New York City where<br />
he boarded the U.S.S. Prinz<br />
Friedrich Wilhelm. He was in<br />
Compartment H1, Located on<br />
H Deck Bunk No. (unreadable)<br />
Washroom No. 1, Latrine No. 1.<br />
Abandon Ship Mustering Station<br />
No. 45. He was in the 342nd<br />
Field Artillery with the rank of<br />
Cpl. and there are leave papers<br />
for Aix les Baines, France, the<br />
Savoie Leave Area and a Coblenz<br />
Leave Card for Holsthung,<br />
Germany. There are pictures of<br />
him in full uniform, holding his<br />
rifle, and pictures of him by horse<br />
drawn artillery. He apparently<br />
wrote to Ma all the time he was<br />
in the service, because there is<br />
one post card addressed to Miss<br />
Merry from Ernest. The little<br />
green booklet that held all of<br />
these papers is titled “The American<br />
Soldiers’ Souvenir of Aixles-Bains”<br />
and was published by<br />
The American Y.M.C.A. It has<br />
my grandfather’s name written<br />
in the front with a date of Dec.<br />
27, 1919. The opening page of<br />
the booklet states that Aix-les-<br />
Bains was the first place opened<br />
as a leave area for American<br />
soldiers in France. Although I<br />
sometimes complain about all of<br />
the “stuff” Ma kept, I must admit<br />
there are some real treasures.<br />
If Mother kept this much of<br />
Daddy’s military stuff, it somehow<br />
got lost in the shuffle. I<br />
know he was in the Philippines,<br />
but like so many other men who<br />
served our country, he didn’t talk<br />
about his military service all that<br />
much. I can remember Mother<br />
crying at night when Daddy was<br />
gone, as I am sure many other<br />
wives and children did. I guess<br />
we all long for the day when,<br />
“They will beat their swords into<br />
plowshares and their spears into<br />
pruning hooks. Nation will not<br />
take up sword against nation nor<br />
will they train for war anymore.”<br />
(Isaiah 2:4)<br />
“Our values, our principles and<br />
our determination to succeed as a<br />
free and democratic people will<br />
give us a torch to light the way.<br />
And we will survive and become<br />
the stronger--not only because of<br />
a patriotism that stands for love<br />
of country, but a patriotism that<br />
stands for love of people.” Gerald<br />
Ford.<br />

limit all spending, no matter if<br />
it is obtained local, state or national.<br />
They do not have to be<br />

a few ads is all we need. We are<br />

723-8841. Thank you very much in advance for your donation.<br />
that I usually get to see such as<br />
Kirby Hedrick, Ben and Betty<br />
Loftin, etc. I did enjoy seeing<br />
Inez Atchison, my sister, Edna<br />
Ruth Kessinger and her family,<br />
Ron, Kimberlee, Michael,<br />
and, of course, the little charming<br />
Wesley. I also had the pleasure<br />
of seeing Gertie and Efton<br />
Pritchard, Sophie Mease, the ladies<br />
working the polls and several<br />
others.<br />
Jo Jo immediately told everyone<br />
they would have to line up<br />
because he was an F.B.I man. I<br />
took him into my booth and let<br />
him help me vote before he tried<br />
to take over the polling place.<br />
It was a good day, even if this<br />
year’s election was the worst one<br />
I have ever participated in. But<br />
we will pray!!<br />
Here And There<br />
I saw Norma Johnson while we<br />
were at Dr. Woodall’s. I had not<br />
seen her for a coon’s age. It was<br />
nice to visit with her. Thanks<br />
goes to my sister-in-law, Rosemary<br />
Youngblood, for providing<br />
us with a nice taxi to the doctor’s<br />
office. We have been missing<br />
her and her mother, Mary, at our<br />
Sunday dinners. Hurry and get<br />
well friend, Mary.<br />
Mom, once again, caught up<br />
with all four of her sisters via the<br />
telephone. This always makes<br />
her day. Aunt Lorene is still not<br />
back up to par yet, but we pray<br />
she will be soon.<br />
Sick Bay<br />
There are lots of people sick<br />
with allergies, changes in the<br />
weather, and other serious maladies.<br />
Marie Elder was taken<br />
to the E.R. She has not been<br />
well for months after suffering<br />
a stroke and its residual effects.<br />
We want to send our finest bouquet<br />

of prayer to all of you who are<br />
suffering from one thing or another.<br />
Birthdays<br />
Dr. Bill Cruce in K.C. made<br />
a trip to Wichita to spend a few<br />
days with his mother, my sweet<br />
Aunt Edna Cruce and family. He<br />
wanted his favorite fried chicken<br />
for his birthday, but Auntie had<br />
just done that meal so he got to<br />
dine on smothered steak instead.<br />
Too bad Billy boy.<br />
My ornery nephew, Mike Kessinger,<br />
will have a birthday on<br />
November 24. My angel from<br />
heaven, Mary Jr, along with<br />
Pastor Barnes celebrated on November<br />
7. They share this day<br />
with Dr. Billy Graham. Jodi<br />
McIntosh climbed another rung<br />
on November 7 also. Hey, Kimberlee<br />
Kessinger, what did you<br />
say about Old Jodi, or was that<br />
“ole”Jodi?<br />
Complex<br />
All you people have given<br />
me a complex with your caller<br />
I.D.’s. You call a number and no<br />
one answers. You call again and<br />
get the same results. You now<br />
begin to wonder – are they ignoring<br />
me, don’t want to talk to<br />
me, or are they really not home?<br />
I think they should do away with<br />
that dratted thing. Enough is<br />
enough.<br />
Better Late Than Sorry<br />
There was a wedding, some<br />
gallivanters, and a future wedding<br />
that I failed to cover. I am<br />
not sure who is to blame for this,<br />
but I know it is not me.<br />

Angela Ford, Administrator<br />
<strong>Stone</strong> <strong>County</strong> Health Department<br />
Offers Food Safety<br />
Tips for Holidays<br />
With the holiday season in full<br />
swing, people will gather for a<br />
wide variety of family meals, office<br />
parties, community/church<br />
banquets and other events where<br />
food will be a main attraction.<br />
Nothing brings people together<br />
like food. While these events are<br />
central to holiday celebration,<br />
there is an increased chance that<br />
people will get sick from a foodborne<br />
illness. The risk of a foodborne<br />
outbreak is even greater<br />
when multitudes of people eat<br />
the same food; it just takes one<br />
bad sauce, dip, or pie etc., to<br />
make numerous people seriously<br />
ill. The <strong>Stone</strong> <strong>County</strong> Health<br />
Department (SCHD) encourages<br />
you to be very careful when pre-<br />
paring, serving, and storing foods<br />
for parties, celebrations, dinners,<br />
and banquets. The SCHD is offering<br />
some simple but effective<br />
food safety tips to help protect<br />
you, your family, and guests<br />
from holiday food-borne illness.<br />
Holiday Food Safety Tips<br />
Thawing:<br />
Thawing a turkey in the refrigerator<br />
can take two days or more,<br />
depending on weight. Make sure<br />
the turkey is thawed completely.<br />
Allow approximately 24 hours<br />
for every 4 – 5 pounds.<br />
Turkeys and other poultry can<br />
be thawed in cold water, but the<br />
water should be changed every<br />
30 minutes.<br />
Allow approximately 30 minutes<br />
per pound when thawing in<br />
cold water.<br />
Do not thaw poultry in micro-<br />
wave or low-temp oven; this can<br />
encourage bacteria growth.<br />
Do not use thawing platter<br />
or basin again until properly<br />
washed/sanitized.<br />
Cooking:<br />
Cook stuffed turkey, other<br />
poultry and ground meats to 165<br />
degrees taken at center.<br />
For turkeys, internal cooking<br />
temperature should be 165 degrees<br />
in area between leg and<br />
thigh.<br />
Always use a thermometer to<br />
measure the temperature of the<br />
turkey or other cooked meats.<br />
Preparation/Sanitation<br />
Avoid cross contamination<br />
of food preparation surfaces.<br />
Always wash hands, utensils,<br />
the sink, and anything else that<br />
comes in contact with raw turkey<br />
and its juices with soap and water.<br />
Never cut vegetables or other<br />
foods on the same cutting board<br />
as raw poultry, fish, or ground<br />
meats.<br />
Sanitize preparation surfaces<br />
with a solution of one (1) cap<br />
bleach to one-gallon water.<br />
Sanitize sink after rinsing turkey<br />
and other fresh meats and<br />
before fixing vegetables with solution<br />
of one (1) capful of bleach<br />
for each gallon of water. Let<br />
stand, then drain, running garbage<br />
disposal to sanitize while<br />
draining.<br />
Thoroughly wash hands with<br />
warm soapy water and rinse<br />
well, especially before serving<br />
or eating a meal.<br />
Storing<br />
Keep hot foods hot (at least<br />
<strong>13</strong>5°F) and cold foods cold (no<br />
warmer than 41°F).<br />
Creamy sauces, gravies and<br />
desserts should go into the refrigerator<br />
promptly.<br />
Put turkey and other cooked<br />
poultry in the refrigerator no<br />
more than two hours after cook-<br />
Thursday, November <strong>13</strong>, 20<strong>08</strong> THE CRANE CHRONICLE/STONE COUNTY REPUBLICAN Page 5<br />
ing. Do not let high-risk foods<br />
sit out to snack on.<br />
For faster cooling of cooked<br />
turkey and other poultry, before<br />
refrigerating, remove meat from<br />
bone and store in shallow pans in<br />
the refrigerator.<br />
Refrigerator temperatures<br />
should always be kept at about<br />
40 degrees F.<br />
Freezer should keep food frozen<br />
solid.<br />

Eat leftovers within three to<br />
four days or place in freezer.<br />
Cold turkey should be fine to<br />
eat if it was cooked and cooled<br />
properly.<br />
If cooked leftovers are to be<br />
eaten hot, cook to 165 degrees<br />
internal temperature.<br />

work on Saturday morning he<br />
went to clean out the Hippie Bus<br />
like he always does and found<br />
that the amp was taken. His stereo<br />
and speakers were still there,<br />
but someone took his amp that<br />
he worked so hard to get. We still<br />
have the box that it came in and<br />
the receipt. He has only had it<br />
for five months, so it is still new.<br />
We need your help to get it back.<br />
The amp is a 1200 watt Crunch<br />
Amp and it glows blue “crunch”<br />
on top of it when it’s hooked up.<br />
Its silver and about eight inches<br />
by twelve inches in size. We just<br />
want it back. Ty is the best son<br />
and friend you could ever ask for<br />
he has never harmed a person or<br />
thing in his life. So why would<br />
they do this to him? We will never<br />
know, but we will still pray<br />
for them. I know Ty did when<br />
he went to church Sunday morning.<br />
Please give back his amp;<br />
no questions asked just give it<br />
back that is all we want. So if<br />
you know who or where it is call<br />
the police or tell one of us, or just<br />
put it back where you got it. Everyone<br />
knows where the Hippie<br />
Bus works, drop it off there. Just<br />
give it back to Ty. No questions<br />
asked. Please give it back.<br />
Thank you and God Bless,<br />

P.S. We were told that the<br />
thieves came from a party on<br />
Olive Street Friday night. That’s<br />
one block from our street which<br />
is College Street that’s walking<br />
distance. So if you know who<br />
was at the party please help find<br />
Ty’s amp and give it back to him.<br />
Thank you.<br />

Friends and family would like to wish Virgil and Susan<br />

After a long and tiring election<br />
season we finally have a picture<br />
of Missouri’s political future.<br />
Some will say the picture is<br />
blurred, others will say it is bright<br />
and clear. Let me share with you<br />
what I see for our state.<br />
As I write this message the day<br />
after a national Democratic tidal<br />
wave, it’s easy to hang our heads<br />
and lick our wounds. While I admit<br />
that the races didn’t all go the<br />
way I’d hoped they would, there<br />
are some very positive results<br />
that few are talking about. I’ll<br />
be the first to admit that <strong>Republican</strong>s<br />
nationwide lost many more<br />
elections than they won. But as<br />
I take a closer look at the results<br />
here in Missouri from November<br />
4th, I feel better and actually I am<br />
finding a lot of positive results.<br />
<strong>Republican</strong>s won 89 seats in<br />
the Missouri House and still have<br />
a solid and unified majority. We<br />
won 90 seats and took control of<br />
the House in November 2002 for<br />
the first time in 48 years; so to<br />
hold 89 seats in a very poor environment<br />
for <strong>Republican</strong>s is remarkable.<br />
The Missouri Senate<br />
<strong>Republican</strong>s actually expanded<br />
their control by adding three<br />
more Senators to their ranks,<br />
giving them a 23 to <strong>11</strong> advantage.<br />
Missouri broke the mold<br />
and voted for John McCain. Missouri<br />
voters refuse to be told how<br />
to act and vote and show why we<br />
are still ‘The Show-Me State’!<br />
Let me give you a quick update<br />
on what took place in some other<br />
legislatures on Election Day.<br />
The Tennessee House switched<br />
from Democrat control (53-46)<br />
to <strong>Republican</strong> control (51-48).<br />
The Delaware House switched<br />
from <strong>Republican</strong> control (22-19)<br />
to Democrat control (26-15). In<br />

Ohio, the House switched from<br />
<strong>Republican</strong> control (52-46 with<br />
1 vacancy) to Democrat control<br />
(51-46 with 2 still undecided),<br />
while the Wisconsin Assembly<br />
switched from <strong>Republican</strong> control<br />
(51-47-1) to Democrat control<br />
(52-46-1).<br />
Overall, a total of nine (9)<br />
chambers switched party hands.<br />
Five chambers switched from<br />

again to represent you in the Missouri<br />

will always keep your views and<br />
ideals in my mind.<br />
Change has taken place. I will<br />
wait to see what direction our<br />
new Governor wants to take our<br />
state, but I can assure you that I<br />
will never back away from the<br />
principles and ideals that I stand<br />
for. To me, the message is clear...<br />
keep fighting for smaller government<br />
and lower taxes.<br />
That’s just what I intend to do.<br />

Fletcher Kills Buck Missouri<br />
Department of<br />
Conservation<br />
By Francis Skalicky<br />
In these last few days leading<br />
up to Saturday’s opening day<br />
of firearms deer season, much<br />
attention is going to be paid to<br />
scouting, travel plans and any<br />
other hunt preparation that’s yet<br />
to be done. This, of course, will<br />
be followed by the excitement of<br />
actually hunting on Saturday (or<br />
Sunday, if that’s the first opportunity<br />
you have to get out).<br />
In the midst of all this preparation<br />
and excitement, don’t forget<br />
about safety. Safety is always the<br />
most important aspect of deer<br />
season but, unfortunately, this<br />
is the point in the season when<br />
some hunters begin to forget<br />
that.<br />
Of course, the “deer season”<br />
I’m referring to is the November<br />
firearms deer season, which<br />
runs from November 15 through<br />
November 25. This is the main<br />
event of Missouri’s hunting calendar.<br />
Throughout this big event,<br />
it’s important for hunters to remain<br />
safety-conscious. Safety<br />
Pictured above is Noah Fletcher, <strong>13</strong>-year-old grandson of Roger<br />
will be important during those<br />
Williams of <strong>Crane</strong>, with his nine-point buck taken during the Youth<br />
first days of hunting, when it’s<br />
Season on November 1. Noah harvested his deer on their farm in<br />
easy for excitement to overtake<br />
Chariton <strong>County</strong>, Missouri using a 270-caliber rifle.<br />
good judgment as hunters take<br />
to the field and woods with an<br />
anticipation that’s been building<br />
since last November. Safety<br />
Vaught Receives Rodeo Awards will be equally important in the<br />
latter days of the season when,<br />
for some hunters, the frustration<br />
factor will start to kick in. Some<br />
hunters will have seen whitetails,<br />
but they weren’t close enough to<br />
get a good shot at. There will be<br />
other hunters who haven’t seen<br />
anything and are afraid their favorite<br />
time of year is going to be<br />
nothing but a bust.<br />
Some hunters are going to have<br />
strong urges to stretch the safety<br />
guidelines they learned in hunter<br />
education or from older hunting<br />
peers. Less attention will be paid<br />
to positive identification of a<br />
deer by some individuals. Good<br />
judgment will begin to get nosed<br />
out by risk.<br />
That’s why now is an excellent<br />
time to review the basic safety<br />
principles of deer hunting (which<br />
are actually principles of any type<br />
of safe hunting). Think about it<br />
this way: Which will leave a bigger<br />
impression in your memory<br />
– shooting a deer or shooting another<br />
human being?<br />

Never assume you are the only<br />
hunter in an area, even if you’re<br />
hunting on private property. Assume<br />
every sound or movement<br />
is another hunter until it has been<br />
safely and positively identified<br />
otherwise.<br />
Always take a moment to look<br />
beyond your target before you<br />
pull the trigger. This helps to ensure<br />
that a potentially occupied<br />
building, previously un-noticed<br />
livestock, or a previously un-noticed<br />
hunter – is not in your line<br />
of fire.<br />
Never take your safety “off”<br />
until a deer has been positively<br />
identified and you are ready to<br />
pull the trigger. This helps to<br />
keep your rifle from going off at<br />
an un-planned moment. In addition<br />
to the obvious safety aspects,<br />
this makes just plain good<br />
hunting sense, too. All it takes is<br />
one accidental discharge of your<br />
gun to spook the deer away from<br />
your hunting area for the remainder<br />
of the day (and perhaps the<br />
next several days as well).<br />
Hunters are reminded that, after<br />
the November firearms season,<br />
there will still be several opportunities<br />
to hunt deer. The second<br />
half of the archery season runs<br />
from November 26 through January<br />
15. The muzzle-loader portion<br />
of fall firearms deer hunting<br />
runs from November 28 through<br />
December 7. The firearms antlerless<br />
portion of fall deer hunting,<br />
a hunting opportunity valid in 67<br />
counties in Missouri, is December<br />
<strong>13</strong> through December 21.<br />
Finally, the second part of the<br />
youth firearms deer season will<br />
be January 3 through January<br />
4. More information about deer<br />
hunting can be found at your<br />

Conservation office or at www.<br />

Preparing Your Home for Winter Weather<br />
The first day of winter is not<br />
until December 21, but many<br />
homeowners in the state may be<br />
taken by surprise by dropping<br />
temperatures. “The time to winterize<br />
your home is before the<br />
cold weather really sets in,” according<br />
to Ray Palermo, director<br />
of public relations for Response<br />
Insurance. He said that taking a<br />
few simple steps now could save<br />
time, money and a lot of stress<br />
later on, adding “prevention is<br />
the key in maintaining a safe and<br />
warm environment, and in minimizing<br />
the risk of winter damage.”<br />
Indoors: Chimneys used for<br />
wood burning stoves and fireplaces<br />
should be checked for<br />
creosote build up. This tar like<br />
substance can lead to a chimney<br />
fire if not cleaned off. Have<br />
a professional check your home<br />
heating system both for energy<br />
efficiency and carbon monoxide.<br />
Buy a carbon monoxide detector<br />
for any nearby living spaces and<br />
affix it near the ceiling. Never<br />
use a kerosene heater. If a space<br />
heater is needed, use only an enclosed<br />
heating element product<br />
with an approval label from an<br />
independent testing organization,<br />
such as Underwriters Laboratories.<br />
Nearly half of a home’s<br />
heat loss is through the roof.<br />
Senator Jack<br />
Goodman<br />
Re-elected to<br />
Leadership<br />
Position<br />
Senator Jack Goodman (R-Mt.<br />
Vernon) last week on November<br />
6 was unanimously re-elected<br />
by his peers to serve as Assistant<br />
Majority Floor Leader of the<br />
Missouri Senate Majority Caucus.<br />
“Jack is a strong voice who<br />
stands up to special interests<br />
for his district and the people<br />
of Missouri,” presumptive Senate<br />
Leader Charlie Shields (R-<br />
St. Joseph) said. “His continued<br />
leadership as Assistant Majority<br />
Floor Leader will help us continue<br />
to protect taxpayers, especially<br />
in these uncertain times.”<br />
Senator Goodman was reelected<br />
to his position in a party<br />
caucus in the state Capitol following<br />
last Tuesday’s General<br />
Election. He will work in concert<br />
with floor leader Sen. Kevin<br />
Engler (R-Farmington) to help<br />
set legislative priorities for their<br />
party and lead the effort to advance<br />
said priorities.<br />
“Once again, I am honored to<br />
be selected by my peers to serve<br />
in this important leadership position,”<br />
Sen. Goodman said. “The<br />
legislative session is just two<br />
months away, and I am looking<br />
forward to continuing our important<br />
work in improving the lives<br />
of Missourians across the state.”<br />
