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,
State Capitol, Room 411B,
and Jefferson City, MO 65101.
