BEVIER STUDENT OF THE WEEK RACHEL LOWE
Wednesday, April 4, 2012
Leaving It All Behind Caleb Pagett Compton, son of Richard and Sarah Compton of Callao, MO, and a 2004 graduate of Bevier High School is an extrodanary young man. Caleb chose to leave Missouri and go where he can make a difference in young lives throughout the world. On Feb 1st, 2012 he began a journey to the Philippines. We will take a front row seat into Caleb’s experiences through his own words. The dirty white walls of the Copacabana hotel are towering around me as I sit under the green cabana near the pool. The sound of cars, buses, jeepneys, and children jumping into the pool are ringing in my ears. The moist air is filling my lungs as I take deep breaths reflecting on these past days and even months. On Feb 1st, 2012 I began a journey that God sent me on to Infanta Pangasinan, Philippines. In the weeks preparing for the trip, I was completely at peace knowing that this is what God had for me. I believe I was feeling every emotion possible; from being happy, joyful, excited, to sad, lonely, overwhelmed, and mad. But in spite of it all I knew God had not called me to be comfortable, but instead to be obedient to Him because He knows what’s best for me. Leading up to the day of departure, it wasn’t bad. I had gone back home to visit family at the beginning of the month. It was a great time and saying goodbye didn’t really feel much different than any other time I left. Then just two weeks before my departure I was leaving my job. That wasn’t too bad either. It was definitely sad and I am already missing the people I worked with, but I don’t think all of it was a reality still at that point. A week later I was celebrating a friends wedding. A going

away party was thrown at my friend Michael’s house and I said a lot of good byes. Finally, the night before the departure to the Philippines we had one last party, and even that was not bad. I stayed the night at my buddy Kellen’s house with him and our friend Mike. We got up early and headed to the airport around 5:50am. I checked in and was just
sitting down quietly, not really saying much. Finally all of us were checked in and it was time to go through security and say the last good byes. I’ve watched people leave before, but you never quite feel the effects of it like you do when you’re the one leaving everyone else behind. April, Jimmy and I are on our longest flight from Seattle to Seoul, South Korea. We
have officially departed the USA and going to spend the next months or possibly years in a foreign country. After having the first meal during our flight, I laid across the seats and went to sleep. Suddenly I woke up from something wet running down my face. At first I thought I was drooling! See story on Page 2A

Pregnant Crazy by Dani Evans I believe that husbands are wonderful people. My husband is amazing! A great encourager, supporter, breadwinner and my balance. My husband is one of my greatest gifts from God. While I have been very aware of this for a while there was one benefit to a husband that I had to learn the hard way. God makes babies with one man and one woman for many important reasons, one is:“Pregnant

EASTER EGG HUNT this Saturday 4/7, 11 A.M.
Continued from page 1A three of the 4-H program’s four essential elements: belonging, generosity and mastery of new skills. The fourth is independence, and for many this was the first overnight event away from home. The conference is lead by Missouri’s State 4-H Council, a group of older teens elected annually by their peers, who work for months to plan and implement this leadership conference. “Teen Conference develops leadership on both fronts,” said Tracie Moore, Macon County 4-H Youth Development Specialist for MU Extension. “The older teens probably learn as much about leadership from this program development experience than those they are teaching.” Instructed by Council teens, attendees learned team building activities, wrote letters
of appreciation to World War II veterans and learned dances they could teach at summer 4-H camps. Delegates also prepared fabric for the MU Extension 4-H LIFE program, which organizes activities, parenting and leadership skills development to families who have a qualified incarcerated parent. Using the precut material from Teen Conference, 4-H LIFE families work together to create blankets during their 4-H club meetings held in prison visiting rooms. The blankets are then donated to charitable organizations, completing the service learning experience. For more information about 4-H, which is open to all youth ages 8-18, visit 4h.missouri.edu or contact your local MU Extension Center at 660-385-2173.
Crazy.” During my first pregnancy, my husband was in Iraq from week 3 until I was in Labor and Delivery in Harrogate District Hospital United Kingdom. He sauntered into the delivery room with four hours until Joshua’s debut. One would say that as a successful adult and career woman, being pregnant on my own should have been no big deal. My husband would chuckle at the person saying that. Upon his return he found that I had sold all of our furniture minus a bed, a coffee table, a couch (which I had thrown the back cushions for it in the trash) and given away our car. All of his things were in garbage bags in the garage and all of my clothes were in nice piles as I had sold the dressers that held them. Having this as my first experience with pregnant crazy and its lack of suppression, one would believe that I had learned my lesson. That is not the case, hence the need for our husbands in a special way when we are pregnant, they are the Pregnant Crazy Suppression instrument. My second pregnancy started with extreme sickness, up to and including not keeping water down. I was put on medicine and lost 16 pounds (please note, pregnancy should not be used as a diet plan). My husband had to do all of the household chores as I simply could not. Those first 12 weeks passed (I tell myself it was 12 because if I actually counted it would hurt too much) and I started being able to be
useful again. However, I simultaneously began suffering from insomnia. It was during one of these insomniatic moments I decided to plan an entire family vacation without consulting my husband. (So we are going to Texas for Thanksgiving this year) I further went on to attempt to reorganize an entire family vacation that had already been in the works. I had no idea anything was wrong. I was helping! In a few months I was going to have two children and he would be on his own for planning and organizing. My sweet gentle husband sat me down one day and said, “Sweetie, do you remember your first pregnancy crazy?” “Oh, yes, I do! I haven’t sold or given away anything!” “Right, and that is great! But this time you are trying to organize things that aren’t happening for 1.5 years. Can you stop with the planning and the vacations and things?” Thanks to his marvelous intervention, I don’t have to worry about anything after baby Evans makes his or her debut. My husband has all that covered, whew! He acted in the nick of time because I was about to plan an excursion to Arkansas, Utah and finally, Alaska, all before the end of 2014. So, Moms-to-be, pregnant crazy is real. Please make sure your Pregnant Crazy Suppression instrument has been calibrated and is ready to help you off the precipice of pregnant crazy! By: Dani Evans

Governor touts job creation in upcoming pipeline project BY DAN STEINBECK EDITOR PRESS-NEWS JOURNAL dan@lewispnj.com
Governor Jay Nixon touted job creation for the proposed Flanagan south crude oil pipeline project in a conference call with media Thursday, March 29. “Today, we have another clear opportunity to create construction jobs, support local communities and boost America’s energy independence with the Flanagan South pipeline,” Nixon said. “Enbridge US is one of North America’s largest pipeline companies. Earlier this week,
Enbridge announced that it will move forward with the construction of a new pipeline that will run from Flanning, Illinois to Cushing Okalahoma.” That 600 miles pipeline will enter these 11 Missouri Counties: Lewis, Marion, Shelby, Macon, Randolph, Chariton, Saline, Lafayette, Johnson, Cass, and Bates. “This project will create good paying construction jobs for Missouri workers and provide a significant boost to local economies,” Nixon said. Nixon projected the project would create “thousands of jobs” statewide.
“They won’t build it one piece at a time. There will be project folks throughout the region. It will add to the work base very quickly,” Nixon said. When further questioned about from where people would be hired, Nixon said it would be “Missouri region contractors.” “Enbridge is not a company that has many contractors. How it (the project)will be divided up and the sites of it are being worked on right now. Clearly their intention is to hire local-based contractors with excellent skilled craftsmen. This has to be built very smart and very
well,” Nixon said. Missouri will serve as a pass-through state for the crude oil to be transported. Nixon said it would come from the northern part of the United States and Alberta Canada, including from some oil sands. After it gets to Cushing, Oklahoma, it will go to refineries in Texas and Louisiana. “We don’t have the refining assets in the ShowMe State,” Nixon said. Nixon admitted some of the oil might be exported. “Transportation costs will be smaller (transporting from nearby states), there will be more oil available and quite frankly the oil on the open market
are all three clear downward pressures on the price of gas,” Nixon said. “Not only will it create construction jobs, but it will help to ensure these reliable fuel supplies for generations to come so we are not relying on the whims of folks in other parts of the world as to what we pay for gas and fuel at the pump,” Nixon said. Enbridge not only gave the go-ahead on the project, they also upsized it from original projections. Instead of the original 30-inch pipe diameter, Enbridge is now saying 36inch diameter pipes, for a larger capacity – initially
some 585,000 barrels of oil a day – and bumping the cost from $1.9 to $2.8 billion dollars. Nixon said Enbridge and state officials would be out holding informational meetings in the communities near the pipeline in the coming weeks, and necessary permits would be secured. Construction will not start until 2013 and expected to be completed by 2014. The construction is expected to generally follow a current Spearhead Oil pipeline built in 1952 by the Sinclair Oil Company, now owned by Enbridge.

COMMENTARY COMMENT
ART STUDENT OF THE WEEK
Morel Of The Story BY KATHY LIEBHART EDITOR kathy@maconhomepress.com
Ok, I am already hearing rumors and they must be rumors because when I was out last week looking for mushrooms all I found were ticks. Of course I have to admit, I don’t “look” as good as I used too. Now that’s a true statement in many ways, but I am talking about looking for those infamous mushrooms that everyone finds tons of, but me!!!!!! I guess it’s because I don’t care to go on hard searches through all the stickers and poison anymore like I used to. I know its a few weeks early but mushrooms don’t know what date it is and this weather should be great for mushrooms. Now if someone would just tell me where their “secret honey hole” is, it’s obvious I’m not capable of locating one myself. We did see a few false mushrooms or as I’ve heard them called “Elephant Ears”. I can remember going out into the woods mushroom hunting with my Dad. I had both of my kids with us. We could send my daughter in all the areas we couldn’t fit and she loved it! She could spot a mushroom fast. I had to pull my youngest around with us in a wagon since he was too little. I couldn’t pull a wagon around in the woods now
LIEBHART if my life depended on it! That particular day we got turned around and ended up walking forever! When my husband would come home from work on the weekends, he often had mushrooms with him, or would go out to our property on the weekend and find bags full. Now we are lucky to have one mess a year. We have tried all the tricks to make them come back like crumbling up the dry ones and breaking them off so the root will stay in the ground. Never seems to work. We have all the fallen Elms and the May Apples, but when we do find the mushrooms, they are never where you’re told to look. But in the end, when you finally get a good batch to cook, that first bite is well worth it. Happy mushroom hunting and be careful of the false ones! When in doubt…Throw it out!!!!!

FAITH
From the Desk of the Worship Center Beatitude 8 Matthew 5: 10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness sake for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. It is not just people persecuted [to afflict constantly bringing injury or distress]; it is those persecuted for righteousness sake. Sadly, there is stress every Sunday morning for some whose families are not supportive of their convictions and worship. In the work place they are thought of as radical - a bit peculiar. They become the object of negative discussion. Many leave jobs because of the painful pressure suffered by those that Jesus called blessed. Moses stated in Heb. 11: 24-25. By faith when he (Moses) was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter, choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season. Rather than turn his
back on his own people, Moses refused the splendor of the King’s palace and the position of becoming the next Pharaoh. I am sure some would think him a fool. A Child of God has to have tough skin. Jesus said, “They shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake”. Things said can be flattering, or may be insulting; either can cause us harm. Flattery can cause pride to build, and insults cause shame. Either is an offender to us. Words and a little imagination, fueled with a vindictive spirit, could destroy us if we let them have space. Words so easily used need no proof. The Christian’s life is opposite of the unbelievers. Our greatest gift is our salvation. The child of God can look past the grave and rejoice. The song says it will be worth it all when we see Jesus. Hold on, fade the heat, ignore the hatefulness. Pastor Ron Thomason

Crashing Is Not Part Of Riding! Here in the north land we are starting to get the riding weather you all have been enjoying for weeks now. So being a rider all my life, starting from age 5 on various machines that my dad created, kind of makes me an expert. Not to mention various schools in both mechanical and riding instructor training through Harley Davidson. Ok big whoop tee. However, here are some very good tips that will keep you up on two both physically and mentality, cause crashing is not part of riding. Getting your machine out for the first time of the year always look’er over real good for tire wear, electrical wiring frays, you know like a starving mouse had nothing better to do but eat your wiring harness all winter, check tires side walls for weather cracks and proper air pressure. Drain old gas before you start it. Fresh fuel keeps carb over hauls from having to be done and injectors from being plugged up. Easy enough thing to do that will save you lots of work later. I like to pull my bikes out in the sun shine while doing all this, cause I am anal about warming the motor and the rest of her with the sun as much as possible before breathing life to her for the 1st time of the year. Just makes me
feel better, not sure if it really helps. If possible change oil and filter do to condensation forming, do to the cold and not being started. Now if all is good give her a bath talk to her a tell her what great rides you’re going to have and if you have done all the above your better than most and really have great self control, most can’t wait and just want to light it up and rip down the road. Which brings me to another tip; until our spring showers clean the roads there will be lots of stuff left behind from the city, like sand or unmelted salt and this makes it really slippery especially in the corners where it likes to build up the most and if you hit it unexpectedly you will probably have to stop at the next service area and use the facilities if you even make it that far. So take it from somebody that has his share of road rash and has lived the life of riding and is still here to tell about it. A little bit of maintenance a lot of common sense and the good lord above you too will have a great year of riding. Be safe my brothers and sisters, watch all those cages (cars) cause they are not your friends and remember never ride faster than your guardian angel can fly.!!! By Jim Coin

A former co worker, Sue Behrman, also stopped by on her lunch hour to visit.

He is anxious to spend more time with family and tend his huge garden. It must be mentioned he has a fishing boat in the drive way where the MFA oil truck was parked for many years.

Pieces Of History - Callao Fair
The Callao Fair was one of the largest fairs in the state in the early 1900’s. In 1910 over 11,000 people attended the three day event.
The first Callao Fair was in 1906 in the north edge of Callao. It was one of the largest fairs in the state. The C.B. & Q railroad ran special trains at this time to accommodate the crowds. In 1910 there were 11,000 people attending the three day event, an increase of 1000 over the previous year. At night there would be a tent show with plays, ministrels, and
music. A musical merry go-round and ice cream cones were a favorite with the children. At lunch time families would gather on the grassy fields and share their food. There was a large grandstand, judge’s gazebo, cattle barn, and two other barns along the north fence. One for horses and the other for sheep or hogs. South of where the stage has stood for several
years now was an area for cars and machinery exhibits and a carnival. Underneath the grandstand was an area for all kinds of exhibits, extending to the north side of the present cook shack. There was a large show ring and racetrack in front of the grandstand where horses were raced and cattle or horses were shown. Some said the track was probably a half-mile track.
After the last fair in 1925 local businessmen held a Callao Community Fair down town for several years with entertainment and drawings. This lasted a few years. The Callao Fair was again started on a small scale for a short time, but was discontinued during WW ll . A few years later the Callao Harvest Fiesta was started.
