October is when most think of fall and decorat-ing their yards with all the Fall and Harvest decora-tions then of course Hal-loween, but not at Bruce and Vickie Lachford’s residence. If you go to their home on Hallow-een, expect a jolly “Merry Christmas”! The Lach-ford’s are already out and have half their Christmas lights and decorations set up. What most families spend a weekend or a day doing, Bruce and Vickie have to start in October and fi nish just in time to light up the block on Thanksgiving night.

Most of us have the memories of our parents loading us up in the car at dark and driving around the area to view the Christmas lights. Oh the excitement of seeing the homes that really went all out with the lights and not to mention the one’s that had characters that moved and music that played!

Bruce and Vickie Latchford of Callao, MO can tell you the joy on the other side of the lights.

Latchford Farm’s – From the other side of the lights!

BY KATHY LIEBHARTEDITOR/PUBLISHER

SOUTH [email protected]

They are asked each year why they go to so much work to put up all the deco-rations, not to mention the expense of the electric to run them each night. Bruce simply stated, “When we see the excitement of the children and the adults acting like children, that’s why we do this.”

The insanity begin 21 years ago and just keeps growing. Actually Bruce said “You don’t have to be crazy to do this, but it helps” and Vickie will tell you “If you’re not crazy when you start, it will make you crazy in time”. But in the end it is all worth it and they plan on continuing each and every year as long as their health allows them to.

The Lachford’s include their family each year. The kids will come in and help work the weekend and the friends and neighbors are a big help as well.

Norma Teter, next door neighbor, enjoys the lighting and has her yard fi lled as well. Bruce and Vickie just keep adding more every year. Chet, May, Wilber Thompson, Grady Reed, Lou Williams and John Aldridge, just to name a few are a huge help as well. Most don’t real-

ize all the electrical work, setup, motor repairs etc… that goes into a display like the Latchford’s put on every year.

If you are traveling west on Hwy 63 after dark, just before you get to the Cal-lao junction, take a look to the north. It’s the site of that big, bright cross that will lead the way. If you haven’t visited Latchford’s farm between Thanksgiving and New Years, don’t let this year go by without seeing it.

Bruce and Vickie have added several new decora-tions this year including a Smurf Village, Sponge Bob Square Pants and Pat-rick. Mickey and Minnie Mouse also come every year to visit with the kids that come to see the lights.

Jim Lindsey is a good friend and a great help to Bruce and Vickie. Some may remember going to the Knox County area to view “Lindsey Lights”. Now those lights are dis-played at Latchford’s. Jim still makes displays for Bruce and Vickie to put out.

Another item some may remember as chil-dren is Santa, Mrs. Clause and the Elves that used to sit on the front porch of

the late Delbert Henley’s home in Macon. Mrs. Henley-Luker sold the display to the Latchfords after being in storage for several years. Bruce said he believed Delbert built the display himself in the 1950’s. Bruce and Vickie completely restored them and the display is once again a sight to see.

So as you are planning your Christmas vacations and shopping trips, be sure to visit the Latch-ford’s farm in Callao, MO. You will fi nd that Callao is a little town with a lot of Christmas Spirit. The Latchford’s do ask you sign their guest book for them. “Even if you are just driving by, please stop and sign the book, we love to see where everyone comes from and that’s the only way we know” Says Vickie.

The lights at Latch-ford’s Farm will be lit from dusk to 10:00 pm beginning Thanksgiv-ing night through News Years. There is no cost, but as you sign their guest book you may make a do-nation.

This fence line Nativity is what you will fi nd along the fence just north of the Barn at the Latchford Farm.

ABOVE - Bruce and Vickie working on the display inside the barn. This is the display from Mrs. Hen-ley-Luker. BELOW - Snow White and the Seven Dwarves display sitting in front of their home.

Five Senses Election Recuperation

Thanksgiving Time

The election is fi nally over! It seems to carry on longer every election. I think we found out this is a country divided. I pray our President will keep the best interest of our country his priority.

I do have to admit, Election Day at our house is better than any sports championship! There is always at least one person or item on the ballot my husband and I don’t agree on so the competition be-gins! This was our son’s fi rst Presidential election he could vote in, I think he was torn between who he should please most, Mom or Dad, but I was proud of him for taking the time to vote. As all of us watched there were sighs and moans along with some “yeah” and a few “oh thank you’s” from each corner of the living room. I’m just glad we are all friends after it’s over. One thing for sure, I know of a few homes that I wouldn’t want to be in during an election! Talk about a house divided, no names mentioned.

Now we can move on to the more seri-ous days…..Thanksgiv-ing! Now that’s a day to look forward too. Tur-key, Ham, Homemade Noodles, Sweet Potatoes,

Rolls and every kind of pie imaginable will be sitting on the table. Af-terwards, discussing the plans for Christmas!

I always picture going to a nice Thanksgiving dinner with all of our fam-ily gathered around the table quietly and politely visiting, all of us thankful for each other and thank-ful we are all together. Then, I wake up! The truth is if you dare to go to one of our Thanksgiv-ing dinners, be thankful if you make it out without mashed potatoes or butter in your face. My “little” brother just loves to start food fi ghts and to this day, even though he is over 40 years old, it’s guar-anteed he will sneak up behind someone and rub some type of food in their face. If that person looks at the head of the family for help, forget it, my dad will be laughing and egg-ing it on. All the young kids will be sitting there with wide eyes wondering what is going on and I’m sure learning a few things they will get into trouble for in the future, by the one’s teaching them now! Just remember, Monkey See, Monkey Do! All in all, I am very thankful for my family, no matter how crazy they are.

The Home Press South will be printing recipes from kids! Let your child write their own version of a favorite recipe for

Thanksgiving and send it to us. We will also place them on our website at www.hpsouth.com

We will be featuring Santa Letters on Decem-ber 19th so kids, get busy on your letters to Santa. The Home Press South will be glad to except them for Santa.

Send all inquires to: The Home Press South 111 N. Rollins St. Ma-con, MO 63552 or email to [email protected]

Be sure and look for our Home Press and C & R give away! We have teamed up with C&R Markets to give our read-ers an opportunity to win a $100 C&R Gift Card! Fill out the registration and drop it off at C&R while getting your grocer-ies! Drawing will be De-cember 21st, just in time to purchase your Christmas dinner supplies! Until next week…

Have you ever abso-lutely, positively and whole heartedly came to the conclusion that things are NOT always as they seem? I have. Sometimes it provokes more stress, but this last case, relieved some!!! Things are chang-ing in my life, just gonna let you simmer a bit until I tell ya anything fer sure, but it’s a good thing!!! So keep reading!!! LOL, that outta keep ya buy’n the paper.

Sara, my oldest, turned another year older last week. Wow! And now she’s a mommy! The birth announcement of my first grandson is also in this edition of The Home Press! Proud memaw I am!! So Happy Birthday Red! I love ya!!

Deer season seems to be the opening of cold and blistery weather. Every year the boys (and girls) come in for another year of hunting and either bring, rain, sleet, snow, wind or just cold temps. I’m glad I’m not a hunter. You can play cards inside and keep warm and cozy, hunt down the guy next to ya by bluff ’n, go in for the kill and “bang”, you have all their chips. Lots bet-ter than the sport going on this week. It’s cold out there!! Plus, I can wear whatever I want, good thing, cause hunter orange is not one of my good col-ors. LOL Anywho, good luck to the hunters, bag the big one!!!

Went to the Annual Church Without Walls Smorgasbord at the ele-mentary school over the weekend! OMG!!! Deli-cious!!! Always is and always will be! Turn out

was amazing and the hunters were hungry! Along with everyone else in town! Then attended the Atlanta Junior High Basketball tournament to cover the championship games. I’m tell’n ya, that Atlanta group can turn out some cinnamon rolls! I honestly think that they should have a bake off with Kathy East on cin-namon rolls and yup, you guessed it…. I SHOULD BE THE JUDGE!!!! Hehe!! They are both amazing! Only thing that keeps me going to the La Plata tour-nament in January. LOL, not really, just kiddin’, but it helps!! Thanks, Kathy!

The cooks around Northeast Missouri are some of the best I’ve ever tasted! Or if you moved on and came from NEMO, you count as well (couldn’t leave out my Aunt Sara, she’s one of the best)! My momma taught me what she could and I sometimes stretch out on my own and add a few things! This year Sara asked if I was gonna make noodles for Thanksgiving! Yup! So she wants to make them with me and learn the family recipe and traits! Makes me proud to hand it down and happy to share the time with her in the kitch-en!

Black Friday will be next week! Good grief, where did the year go? I did do some shopping and have most of mine already done, but let me tell ya, things are changing. I wanted to get the little tikes a wagon for Christ-mas! LOL, well I found a Radio Flyer, in fact I found several, but the one that was amazing had back rests for seats, cup holders, a canopy, a door and was of course, hard plastic. What happened to the old metal wagons we

just jumped into and went down the hill in? Fact is, if we had saved all the toys we had growing up, we’d probably all be rich! Original Barbie’s, GI Joe’s, wagons, metal Hot Wheels (well they still make those, but not the good ones they used to) and Miss Beas-ley, oh I loved that doll, she was my best friend for years! But all we can do now is either buy the cheap stuff, cause they tear it up anyway or spend about $175 on a plastic wagon with a rain shield!! Guess you know which one I bought, huh! It was $69.99!!! HeHe!!

I’m also very proud to announce that Con-nie Lyda Johnson will be writing a new column for us… “Goooood Morn-ing Thomas Hill Lake”, can’t wait to read it, she’s full of great insight, love and truly types from her heart!!! Welcome Aboard Connie!

Don’t forget…. $5.00 off a new sub for those hard to shop for friends and relatives!!! Now through December 21st! Come get ‘em!!! We’ll even send them a “gift card” for ya!!! How’s that! No hussle and bussle, no stores and no wrapping!! Perfect!

Keep It Kool,Bec

On Oct 21, the Bucklin American Legion Auxiliary, Green Hills Post 57 swore in new offi cers for the 2013 fi scal year. Pictured from left to right are: Patty Gilmore as Sergeant of Arms, Laurel Curry as Chaplain, Lorena Thomas as Historian, Cherry Miller as Treasurer, Carolyn Payne as Secretary, Joy Kos-man as Vice-President, and Wilma Jobson as President. Rosie Rhodes the District President did the honors of swearing the ladies in. Congratulations to all the new offi cers.

We will take one of our senses at a time in our worship, and before we are done I hope to cover all fi ve.

The eyesEp.1:18 The eyes of your under-

standing being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his call-ing, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance is in the saints.

God, enlighten us to the hope of our calling. Let us know, God, what You have got for the believers. If only we could see the glorious things that await us when we get to the end of the road

Paul is saying we need light on the subject when serving God, so we may see what our hope is. By knowing where we came from we can see we are on the winning side.

When I realize what God has wait-ing for me. It gives me the strength, the energy, the courage, everything I need to go on. Imagine the hope of our calling, and hearing him say “well done enter in”. The song says it will be worth it all when we see Jesus.

Rev.3:18 Anoint thine eyes with eye salve, that thou mayest see.

There is a way to see when we have been blinded by the world. Lot was told to leave Sodom and not to look back. I want to keep my eyes on where I’m headed.

1 Cor.2:9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.

I can’t imagine what a tree of life looks like, streets of gold, gates of pearl, seeing Jesus Christ The Son Of God.

Jesus has a new pair glasses for you and I.

Ron ThomasonPastor Of The Worship Center

Mr. A and his wife were divorc-ing, and it was not a friendly parting. In his frustration, Mr. A continually badmouthed his wife to his friend and neighbor, Mr. B. Mr. B, who lived next door, had observed the couple and joined in criticizing Mr. A’s de-parting wife. Thinking he was being helpful; he even added a few “licks” of his own. These conversations con-tinued over several weeks.

Then one day, Mr. B observed Mr. A had grown quite cold. When Mr. B inquired about this change of attitude, Mr. A said he and his wife had patched things up; and he really did not appre-ciate the disparaging comments Mr. B had made about his wife. It would be a long time before the A family and the B family could be neighborly again.

In the next few days, this story will repeat itself many times. The politi-cal wrangling has been going on for months. Many believe the fervor of this election has reached an all time high. To support their candidates, people have made dreadful accusa-tions about one another. Stinging words have fl own like blowing sleet. After the election, we will face the complex task of getting along again. Those whose candidates won may gloat. Those whose candidates lost may sulk. Can we heal, or will we be like Mr. A who couldn’t forgive Mr. B?

Not surprisingly, the Bible has some wise words for us. I offer these words to you without comment. A friend loves at all times . . . Proverbs 17:17. For a man to have friends he must show himself friendly . . . Prov-erbs 18:24. Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another . . . Ephesians 4:32.

My name is Wade Paris, and I ap-prove this message.

by Diane OlsenThe house fi lls with

aromas of a traditional Thanksgiving Day meal: turkey, stuffi ng, pump-kin pies and rolls. Family and friends join together to share food and fellow-ship during this season. As you prepare for this celebration, you may wonder about the cost of this year’s Thanksgiv-ing meal. According to the annual Marketbasket Survey conducted by the Missouri Farm Bureau and the American Farm Bureau, the cost of food items will show a slight increase. The shopping list, enough food for 10 people, consists of a 16-lb. turkey, stuffi ng made with pre-seasoned cubes, heat-and-serve rolls with real butter, two pumpkin pies made with pumpkin pie mix and pre-made pie shells topped with real whipped cream, frozen green peas, fresh cranber-ry sauce, sweet potatoes, and a relish tray of carrots and celery. The beverage offerings are a gallon of

whole milk and coffee. This year’s survey was conducted in late October to garner prices that avoid the pre-Thanksgiving sales hype. The last few days before Thanksgiving fi nd many grocery stores offering “loss leaders” (items priced below cost) to attract shoppers - a free turkey with a $50 order or buy-one-get-one-free offers. Missouri shoppers found that items needed to prepare a meal for 10, and hopefully have left-overs, would cost $51.87, or $5.18 per person. Again, the cost would be lessened depending on the amount of food avail-able to prepare additional meals. The 2012 prices are $4.46 higher than the same items last year. The biggest jump came in tur-key prices, which moved from an average of $1.21 per pound last year to $1.46 this year. This ac-counts for $4 of the dif-ference between the two years when pricing a 16-lb. bird. The national av-erage price per pound for

turkeys was $1.39. Recent market reports indicate on-farm production of tur-keys has been relatively strong. The supply in cold storage is about 5 percent higher compared to a year ago. Shoppers may see the benefi t of this sup-ply as we move closer to Thanksgiving Day. Mis-souri shoppers also found all three dairy items, milk, butter and whipping cream, rang in slightly higher. Other items cost-ing slightly more included the pie shells, rolls, car-rots and celery. Lower prices were found for the pumpkin pie mix, sweet potatoes, cubed stuffi ng mix and cranberries.

Weather events this year will likely be con-versation starters at many gatherings this year. As we enjoy the bounti-ful meal, we should be mindful of the challenges farmers face each year to provide safe, abundant and nutritious food. When listing our blessings on this holiday and every day, be sure they are in-

365 DAYS OF WOM-EN IN AGRICULTURE

Pearl Miller attended the 4th annual Women in Agriculture Conference at the Knights of Columbus Hall in Salisbury, Mo. No-vember 1st.

The keynote speaker was Andrew McCrea from coast to coast and around the world. Mr. McCrea brings his unparalleled in-sight to audiences.

He inspires and moti-vates them to make real world differences in life.

Other speakers were Jana Heitmeyer, Dr. Cyn-thia Crawford and Liz Huff.

Dr. Crawford stressed eating at home to save money.

Liz Huff has taught cooking classes and even demonstrated icing a cake using hands only.

A drawing for prizes was held after a meal fur-nished by ‘the Rolling Pin’.

A CAT’S TALEPicture this. It is a sun-

ny November morning up on Main Street in

Bucklin. While enjoy-ing their morning walk a middle age couple

discovers they are be-ing followed by a skinny little kitten. The kitten is obviously a stray that has been a long time hungry. The kind couple said it was not theirs and they had no way to care for it.

The weary kitten stays in the driveway of the lo-cal store.

Enter an older lady who; seeing the skinny kitten goes into the store

to buy a can of cat food. While getting the cat food she speaks to a

friend and says, “Jim, why don’t you take this little kitten home with you?”

“Well,” he replies,” I reckon I need a cat. My old dog died last week and it is pretty quiet around my place. Only thing is, how would I get this little feller up to New Boston?”

Judy, the store man-ager, gets a small box; the older lady gets the cat food and there you have it. Problem solved. The old-er lady says, “Let’s name him/her Prenger”.

So there you have it; Prenger headed for his/her new home on the farm near New Boston in a nice red pickup truck.

The End. (Don’t you like a cat tale with a happy ending?)

LA PLATAPUBLIC LIBRARY

A Place Worth “Checking Out”

UP CLOSELibrarian: Cindy MooreAssistant Librarian: Wava McHenryAddress: 103 East Moore, La PlataMailing Address: 30006 Kodiak Place, La Plata, MO Email: [email protected] and Fax: 660-332-4945Hours: Mon. 1-6, Tues. & Thurs. 8-1, Wed. & Fri. 1-5, Sat. 10-12

In 1939, the Federated Clubs of La Plata, recognizing the need for a public library, determined to have one. The City fathers offered to make available the middle room of the City Hall building with utilities furnished. Members of the Atalpal Federated Club took donations of books, held fundraisers and served as volunteer librarians for a number of years.

In 1946, through the efforts of the Atalpal Club, the community voted a library tax of 2 ½ cents on each $100 valuation. In 1953 through the combined efforts of three Federated Clubs, a new 10-cent tax was voted in. This enabled our Library to receive State Aid for the fi rst time. In the spring of 1968, the Library Board moved the Library to its present location on the North side of the square. In 1971, the Board purchased the building and remodeled it through donations, and the City of La Plata took over the fi nancial management of the tax-supported library. A Library Board was appointed by the Mayor, from people in the La Plata community.

In the past several years and through the generosity of the people of La Plata and the surrounding area, the La Plata Public Library has gone through some major changes. The building was completely remodeled in 1989; technology came to the Library with our fi rst computer grant in 1989; the building was expanded to double its size with the purchase of the building to the east in 2004 and then that room was remodeled; the whole building was completely roofed through donations in 2006; the children’s section was updated in 2010; and now in 2012, the front of the building is getting a much needed facelift. The ongoing theme is that this Library is a community supported enterprise through tax dollars, and also through estate gifts, monetary donations from clubs and individuals, and donations of books, furniture, equipment, and many other things.

The La Plata Public Library is well known for some of it’s special collections, including a large genealogy collection of La Plata and Macon County, including The Home Press on microfi lm; a “Doc Savage”/Lester Dent collection; La Plata and Macon County memorabilia; as well as Santa Fe and Wabash Railroad displays.

The Library carries current bestsellers, a large adult fi ction department, children and youth books, non-fi ction titles, and four public use computers with free WIFI access. They also have a large group of VHS, DVD movies, and Audio Books. Fax service is available at $1.00 per page; photocopies are 25 cents per page, and also offer an Interlibrary Loan Service.

There is a $5.00 one-time charge per family, for Library cards.

We have two kids that go deer

hunting and it is always so

exciting to hear their stories and see their kills.

By: Carrie ChiarottinoIt’s here! It’s that time of year that men and women

alike look forward to. Deer season is here. I bet some of you are reading this thinking; I don’t look forward to deer season at all. Think about it, the men are out of the house and most women I know use this time for hunting, relaxing or shopping. I’ve even known some gals to throw a girls night in their new found freedom, even if it’s only a weekend. Deer season is such a fun time of year for me and my fam-ily. We have two kids that go deer hunting and it is always so excit-ing to hear their stories and see their kills. I always cook up chili or anything that can be heated up quickly because when they come in from hunting they are hungry. I really am just carrying out the traditions that I grew up with. My grandparent’s house was the offi -cial deer camp of our friends and family. We would all gather at their house the night before season offi cially started. There would be food, wine, spirits, and lots of visiting. I remember grandpa’s friends would come all decked out in their orange and wouldn’t take it off till the deer season was well over with. Sometimes peo-ple would pull up the drive saying they just saw a big buck right down the road. Telling details of where he was headed and how many points they thought he had. They would discuss who had the best contest. Businesses don’t do this anymore, but back in the day, businesses would have contest for the largest dressed weight deer. I remember when Ralph and Liz Rector owned the Bait House they had a scale set up in the parking lot and people would back under the scale in their truck and weigh their deer. Over the

years prizes included guns, bricks of shells, and other smaller items. As a young girl, that went everywhere with her dad, all I could think of is how I wished my dad would win. One year he did win some shells. I remember the fun of going to College Mound to check in our deer. For those of you that don’t know, not so many years ago, you had to check in your deer physi-cally. Never did we call in our deer on the telephone. If you killed one in the late evening or had to look

for it you really had to hustle to get to a check in point. At those check in points I saw some of the biggest deer I’ve ever saw to this day. What fun we would have looking at other people’s kills and of course getting a soda pop. Usually we didn’t get a candy bar because grandma would have supper ready for us when we got back. First thing was fi rst. Upon arriving back home we had to hang the deer. Now depending on how cold it was determined if us kids would stay outside or not. We usually headed in to get a cup of hot cocoa and see what was for supper. Sometimes grand-pa’s buddies would come around later to show us their kills or to see ours and of course tell sto-ries. Those truly were the good

old days. I have the fondest memories of so many deer seasons just as I have described. Everyone was always welcome at my grandparent’s house and you could bet your bottom dollar you would leave with a full belly. What a wonderful time. If you’re a deer hunter remember SAFETY is always fi rst and I hope you get the big one! That’s Life in the Country.

Loch Haven, Macon County Nursing Home District, is holding two fundraisers to help with the Legacy Facility Renova-tion Projects Fund. As the Loch Haven campus expands with the addition of the Loch Haven Cottages, the original build-ing has become known as the Legacy Fa-cility. The particular project that money is currently being raised for is new fl oor-ing in the front entrance, the front hall and throughout the dining room.

With the Angels of Love Winter Mem-ory Tree, those interested can purchase angels for $5 each and place the name of a loved one on the angel. The angels, along with white lights, will decorate six trees to be displayed on Loch Haven’s front porch during the months of December and January. The angels were made by local artisan Janice Wilson. “Anyone‘s name can be printed on the angel, living or deceased. When the event is over the ornament will become a very nice keep-sake or gift,” says Mary Beth Truitt one of the organizers of the fund raiser.

The Twelve Days of Christmas is a very exciting sweepstakes event that will fi nd twelve lucky winners of some very nice prizes. From December 3 thru De-cember 18 there will be twelve drawings for prizes which have been donated by

Loch Haven Fundraisers For Legacy Facility

local businesses. “Everything from food items, Christmas baskets and wreaths, bi-cycles, $50 to $100 gift cards from local businesses, an autographed football, the-ater tickets and a Bed and Breakfast stay will be drawn. We are very excited about this event. Our display is in the Front Hall of Loch Haven and it is beautiful. We are so thankful to the business owners who donated. They were very generous!” says Truitt.

The unique thing about the Twelve Days of Christmas drawing is that those who purchase tickets can decide where they want to put their tickets. They can have one ticket in each day or try for spe-cifi c things in which they are interested. Tickets are $10 for 12 tickets.

To purchase angels or tickets, stop by Loch Haven during offi ce business hours ( 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday – Friday) or e-mail [email protected] or by mail 701 Sunset Hills Dr., Macon, Mis-souri 63552. For more information call 660-385-3113. “If a business would like for us to bring angels or tickets to them, we would be happy to do so! We are half way to our goal for the Front Hall Reno-vation Project. We’re asking for help from the community to help us reach that goal,” concludes Truitt.

This time each year the Macon Health Care Center sponsors a cookie drive to show their support for the troops.

Every year the community is invited to share their homemade cookies by bring-ing them to the center where they will package and mail them to the soldiers.

This year’s event will take place on Thursday, December 6th from 8:00 am to 1:00 pm.

If you know of a soldier that will not be with his family this year, you may email the soldier’s address to [email protected] and have a cookie pack-age delivered to them.

For any questions on this event, please contact Melissa Mitchell, Recreation Dir. At (660)385-5797.

Agenda items will include payment of bills, Fire Chief Report and other items pertaining to the daily operation of the District. This is an open meeting.

On 10/24/12 at approx-imately 4:00pm, a victim reported to police they had discovered a burglary of their property in the 200 block of Duff Street. Po-lice responded to the scene to investigate. An exte-rior door showed signs of tampering and numerous items were reported stolen from the interior including a hunting bow, paint ball guns and other items val-ued at over $1,000.00.

On 10/28/12 at ap-proximately 8:40pm, the Macon Police Department was contacted by two vic-tims reporting an assault. The victims reported to police a female suspect had been sending harass-ing messages and threats. A full description of the suspect was obtained and she was later located for questioning. As a result, police arrested a 20-year old white female of Ma-con for assault, harassment and peace disturbance. The suspect was processed at the Macon Police Depart-ment and released pending a municipal court date.

On 10/29/12 at ap-proximately 11:00am, po-lice received a report of a burglary which took place in the 800 block of North Rollins Street. Police re-sponded to the call. Upon arrival, it was reported an unknown person had en-tered a residence and tak-en a TV and computer on 10/23 between 11:00am - 6:00pm. The items stolen are valued at approximate-ly $500.

Macon Police Department Report

member had come to visit and found an exterior door standing open. The victim stated they had left the home at approximately 4:30pm on the same date. No items were reported missing, however, damage to the door was noted.

On 11/2/12 at approxi-mately 10:05pm, a vic-tim reported to the Ma-con Police Department a theft from their vehicle had occurred while it was parked unattended in the 200 block of North Rollins Street. It was reported the vehicle was parked from approximately 4:30pm - 10:00pm in the area when the theft occurred. Items stolen include an undis-closed amount of cash, a large tool box and numer-ous tools with a value ex-ceeding $4,000.

On 11/04/12 at approxi-mately 8:50am, a victim reported to Macon Police a burglary had occurred in the 400 block of Wardell Drive during the overnight hours. Upon arrival, the victim reported numerous tools taken from the inte-rior of the residence. No forced entry was found. The items stolen include a framing nailer, a ham-mer drill and other items valued at approximately $2,000.00.

On 11/3/12 at approxi-mately 4:00am, Macon Police were called to a do-mestic disturbance in the area of Pearl and Douglas Streets. Police responded to the area and located a white male subject in-volved in the altercation. A short time later, police were notifi ed of a female victim at the Samaritan Hospital ER. The victim was treated for injuries and

later released. Information obtained from the scene and both parties led offi -cers to make an arrest of the male subject, a 31-year old white male of Macon, for domestic assault. The suspect was transported to the Macon Police De-partment for processing and was later taken to the Macon County Jail where he was placed on 24-hold pending formal charges. A summons was later issued to the suspect and he was released pending a Divi-sion II court date.

On 11/04/12 at approxi-mately 8:45 am, police re-ceived a call from an em-ployee of a convenience store located in the 1700

block of North Missouri Street reporting property damage. Upon arrival, it was reported a window of the business had been hit by a projectile such as a bb or small caliber bullet causing damage to the win-dow. The incident report-edly occurred on 11/02/12 between the hours of 9:00pm-11:00pm. Dam-ages are estimated at $500. The employee was unable to give any details of a pos-sible suspect and the case remains under investiga-tion at this time.

A criminal charge is merely an allegation and the defendant is, of course, presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.

Compton’s Liquidation, The Store With More!

UP CLOSEOwners: Richard and Sarah ComptonAddress: 708 S. Missouri St.Hours: 9am – 6pm Mon. – Sat. Sun. 1pm – 5pmLayaway and Financing Available!

Richard and Sarah Compton has been from the area all their lives and have raised their families in the Macon County area.

Richard Compton started out as an auctioneer in Callao, Missouri. During an auction he was doing at the old Toastmaster building, he was informed that the building was for sale which sparked an idea. On August 12, 2011, that idea became reality when Compton’s Liquidation opened for business. Compton’s purchase overstocked and discontinued items and passes those savings onto their customers.

The change in stock keeps the customers coming back often. “You never know what you are going to fi nd, and if you don’t get it now, it might not be there tomorrow! That’s what makes it fun!” says one of their customers.

Compton’s Liquidation is open from 9 am until 6:00 pm Monday through Saturday and on Sunday from 1:00 pm until 5:00 pm and is located on Highway 63 (708 S. Missouri Street) in the old Toastmaster building. They also offer their customers a 30-day layaway and fi nancing is available to approved customers.

Obviously, the first answer, assuming you agree it is an actual debt you owe, is to attempt to negotiate with the company. This is never easy and certainly frustrating, but you can sometimes arrange a payment plan or you attempt to negotiate a lump-sum payment. Beyond that, it is important to know exactly what the status of the creditor company that ispursuing you; are they the original creditor, or are they a third-party “debt buyer”? The original creditor retains a lot of power to recover their own debts. A “debt buyer” is a company or individual who buys "delinquent" debts from an original credit-or for pennies on the dollar and then said company or individ-ual seeks a return on their investment by attempting to get the consumer to pay the supposed outstanding debt. A “debt buyer” usually sues a debtor and relies upon the fact that the vast majority of debtors fail to respond to the lawsuit, allowing the “debt buyer” to receive an automatic "default judgment" which will later allow the “debt buyer” to garnish the debtor’s wages or bank account with the assistance of the courts.

Off The Deck

GOOOOOOD MORNING Thomas Hill Lake! What a beautiful sunny day you have brought to your lands today my lady,

fair winds, blue skies and the ripples of a gentle lake have my senses soaring. As I was sitting on the deck this morning drinking coffee I heard a screech, as I looked up an eagle was soaring in the sky above me, how proud and mighty he looked. We have a nest of eagles close by they were the fi rst to build in this area, so their names are George and Martha. It is an amazing site to watch the nest grow and when the chicks get big enough to pop their heads up and see them, nature at it’s fi nest! I couldn’t understand all the gun fi re that I heard this morning, are they practicing or scaring the deer off?

Busy weekend here at the lake company & hunters arriving today and tomorrow. I hate to sound rude but, the hunters really take a bite out of my solitude, my dogs can’t run freely and I feel like I have to duck and be careful when outside, I know I’m a “Dear” but don’t shoot! Good ole Tick Ridge will be packed this weekend, so my advise to you is stay away!

This column will be a little different that what I will write on a weekly basis, I want you to get to know me (for those of you that don’t already) and maybe with what I see, feel and hear I can paint you a picture with my words.

Atlanta, MO is what I refer to as home, my Grandparents Albert & Ruby Dixson had a farm south of town. My other Grandparents Louis & Lenore Lyda owned & operated the Atlanta Locker Plant for years. I left the area when I was eight and was raised in several large cities. My parents Wayne & Crystal Lyda moved back to the “home” farm in the early 70’s, I chose to stay in Cedar Rapids, IA for the next 20 years. I moved back to Macon to raise my children where I felt they would be safe from harm in a large city. I wanted them to learn their ABC’s before becoming street smart! I opened a restaurant “Cafe de Cream” and my life began in Macon. I raised my girls on N. Rubey St. in a Victorian style 100 year old home for 20 years. I have two daughters; Nikki Franklin that lives in St. Louis and Brittney Selzer who lives in Macon, there could never be a Momma as proud as I am of my girls! You will hear A LOT about Miss Lilly, she is my 11 week old Granddaughter, which is Nikki’s baby. I really thought that I was WAY to old to fall in love again, but fi rst site of her, I was whipped! After being single for over 10 years I met my soul mate, after 4 years of dating we were married in 2006. I also have 3 step-children and 3 step-Grandchildren, who I love dearly also. Recently after the passing of my father, my husband and I had the opportunity to build a new house by Mom so we could keep her company and help with all that needs to be done! Whipped again, I Love it Here! I really didn’t realize what I had missed by living in the city for so long......we built our house on the north end of Thomas Hill lake, I have a 50 foot deck over looking the lake. I now know the meaning of, country roads, all types of critters, the peacefulness of the wide open and the happiness this brings to me.

So this my friends is what my column will be about the sites, sounds and wonders of my “lady’s” lands....where my mind goes when I hear the coyotes running in the evenings, the squirrels scampering around, quail “talking” in the spring, the rippling of the waters that brings peace to me, pelicans fl oating on the lake. It has taken me so long to appreciate the little thing that life has to offer and with that I hope to bring to you what the little things mean to me, then maybe you will see the joys and miracles that reach out and touch me daily. There is just so much to see, feel and hear, and to be thankful for it ceases to amaze me. I was not always like this, the hassle and bustle of the city won’t allow such things, but here on my lady’s land things are so much different, I can see things in a brighter, happier place now!

Take time to appreciate the little things, they will soon mean allot to you.....I hope that you will be able to see through my eyes and I somehow with my words can bring comfort to you in a country type of way.

As Always,Love & Hugs from the lake........Connie

P.S. A Big Thank you to Becky Jeffcoat for the honor of writing!
