of Integrity, Volunteer Service,
Excellence and Respect. The
Cadet must pass a leadership,
aerospace education and physical training test and be an active
member in order to be promoted.
Our cadets are some of the
finest young men and women in
the community and we are hon-
ored that they have chosen Civil
Air Patrol and Table Rock Lake
Composite Squadron 147 as an
organization to help them grow
and to take them toward their future endeavors.
The Missouri Wing of the
Civil Air Patrol is composed of
over 1,000 members organized
in almost forty units located
throughout the state. Formal disaster relief and search and rescue training exercises are held
on a regular basis several times
each year. Civil Air Patrol, the
official auxiliary of the U.S. Air
Force, is a nonprofit organization
with more than 61,000 members
nationwide, operating a fleet
of 550 aircraft. CAP, in its Air
Force auxiliary role, performs
90 percent of continental U.S.
inland search and rescue missions as tasked by the Air Force
Rescue Coordination Center and
was credited by the AFRCC (Air
Force Rescue Coordination Cen-
ter) with saving 54 lives in fiscal year 2011. Its volunteers also
perform homeland security, disaster relief and drug interdiction
missions at the request of federal, state and local agencies. The
members play a leading role in
aerospace education and serve as
mentors to nearly 27,000 young
people currently participating in
the CAP cadet programs. CAP
received the World Peace Prize
in 2011 and also participates in
Wreaths Across America, an initiative to remember, honor and
teach about the sacrifices of U.S.
military veterans.

Secretary of State Jason Kander
Recognizes Work of Stone County
Clerk, Cindy Elmore
On February 5th, 2015, Secretary of State Jason Kander announced, “The Missouri voter
rolls are the most accurate and
current they have been in decades. For the first time on record, no Missouri counties have
more registered voters than the
voting age population of the
county.” Secretary Kander went
on to applaud the local election
authorities for working hard to
update and maintain their voter
rolls. Stone County Clerk Cindy
Elmore states, “The elections
department works diligently
to insure that the voter rolls of
Stone County are accurate and
up-to-date. Several procedures
are in place to insure that voters
who have passed away, moved
out of state, have not responded
to mailed inquiries from my office, or have not voted in two
Federal elections in a row are
removed from the rolls.” State
grants have been utilized to assist with this process. The elections department will continue
to be a keeper of democracy,
serving Stone County with fair
and accurate elections.

George and Margaret Burnash, Pastors of the New Hope Church in
Crane.
Welcome to a new column that
will be shared among several of
the local pastors. Each week
will feature a different pastor
sharing a bit about themselves
and what is on their heart, allowing you to get to know them
a bit better while they strive to
serve you as well.
Since I’m first, I’d like to
briefly introduce myself. I’m
George Burnash, pastor of New
Hope Church on Main Street
here in Crane. My wife Margaret and I moved here 4 years
ago from Florida, though we are
both originally from California. We absolutely love Missouri,
and Crane in particular. There
are a lot of wonderful things to
love here, and some great people.
Speaking of love, Valentine’s
Day is upon us. While you
may be thinking about all of
the chocolates in those hearts
at the store, and who you hope
gives you one (Hey, us guys like
getting chocolate too. We just
don’t always admit it!) can I encourage you to look out around
you a bit, towards those that often we may not notice? Jesus
told us that there were two great
commandments: to love God
with everything in us, and to
love our neighbors as ourselves. Think about those little things
that you would like someone to
do for you- things that perhaps
others have done for you. Then
do the same for someone else. Pass that love on. Maybe it’s
as simple as a smile to someone
having a bad day. It could be
buying something for someone
that can’t afford it.
I remember one of the biggest
blessings I’ve seen was when
someone was buying groceries,
counting every penny trying to
get the most for what little bit
they had, and not sure if it was
going to be enough. What a sur-
prise they had when the person
ahead of them in line paid for all
of their groceries for them! It could be picking up some
trash you see laying around- not
that you put it there, but how
nice to save someone else a bit
of work in cleaning up.
If you go out to eat for Valentines, be sure to leave a nice tip
for the ones who wait on you. And if you pray over your food,
really shock them by asking if
you can pray for them, or what
their needs are. Then sincerely
pray for them.
It is easy to get caught up
in all of our problems, cares,
concerns, and worries. But an
amazing thing happens when
you do things for others. Those
things weighing down on you
get lighter. You start to feel happier. A genuine smile, or even a
laugh, may find its way to your
face. And you will feel better,
simply because you shared a
kind word or deed for someone else who wasn’t expecting
it (and maybe didn’t deserve it,
but that’s exactly what “grace”
is- receiving good things that we
don’t deserve instead of what
we really might)
On a side note- we would like
to invite you to our morning service at 10:30am on March 15th. We will be having the Rain Impact team from Evangel University with us. They will be doing
music, drama, and much more,
essentially taking over the service. This is especially a great
time to come if you or anyone
you know are thinking about
college and wanting to know
more about Evangel in Springfield. And we will be having a
potluck meal after the service,
with food for everyone. You
don’t have to bring anything but
yourself. Come, enjoy the service and food, and be blessed.

Rohlman’s Ramblin wk 40
Sorry I missed last week, but I
was under the weather.
While so, I wondered where
did that phrase come from and
what does it really mean. If
you know, write me. Lately,
there seems to be a lot of illness.
Granddaughter Tia had some
kidney stones removed, so she
and I spent the day at the hospital and it was worth it. She is
not an agreeable patient though;
she would not consent to let me
help the doctor. I am very good
with tweezers. The two of them
would not even let me watch. I
just had to sit, drink Pepsi, crochet and talk to a lady from Yellville, AR. If you want to know
about Yellville, just ask me, I
know. Tia is back to normal, as
normal as she gets. They did let
me drive her home. We made it
nicely. Another granddaughter
goes to physical therapy twice a
week; another one needs to go to
the eye doctor. I wonder what
would happen to these kids if I
kicked the bucket. Not to worry,
I am not.
Sad part of Tia’s day in the
hospital was it was her birthday.
I promised not to tell anyone that
she is 27 and I won’t. She feels
old. Ha, she was talking to me.
When you are three quarters of a
century, 27 is very young. Great
way to spend a birthday. After
she got well, she and I went to
Bootleggers. Yes, it is open and
similar to what it used to be. It
was nice and as usual, the food
is very good. Go see them. Tia
and great grandson, Hunter, and
I had a good meal and a good
time.
I had a birthday this week and
Margo took me to the Village
Inn in Republic. As you can
tell, we are party girls. We had
a fun time, as one of the waiters
is a hoot. It took us two hours to
eat and talk. Her birthday is the
first of March. I don’t know yet
where we will go for hers.
The Marionville Alumni
breakfast was Friday. We had
27 people there. I know that
more than 27 people have graduated from Marionville so where
the heck are you. First Friday
in March, Alice Irene’s at 8 in
the morning. That is very early,
but don’t worry, they sit me over
by myself so that I do not bite
anyone. Richard and Laverne
and Fritz told clean jokes. They
were funny. I know because everybody laughed.
Today, Margo and Sheridan
and I went to Springfield Little
Theatre to see The 32nd Puntnam
County Spelling Bee. It was a
fun play and we enjoyed ourselves, all three of us. We also
went to Brahms for ice cream.
It has been a very normal
week, except I bumped my head
on the cabinet door and it hurt.
Grandson Aaron laughed. I will
get him. He is going on the list
with the mean little kid, whom
I have not seen lately, I need to
find out what he is up to.
I will let you know when I do.

February 6, 2015 a cold morning on Mockingbird Hill. I’m
glad that the snow and ice has
left us. It was really slick yesterday morning.
Galatians 5:22-26; But the
fruit of the Spirit is love, joy,
peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith. Meekness, temperance: against such
there is no law. And they that are
Christ’s have crucified the flesh
with the affections and lusts. If
we live in the Spirit, let us also
walk in the Spirit. Let us not be
desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one
another. (KJV)
Galatians 6:1-2; Brethren, if a
man be overtaken in a fault, ye
which are spiritual, restore such
an one in the spirit of meekness;
considering thyself, lest thou
also be tempted. Bear ye one
another’s burdens, and so fulfill
the law of Christ. (KJV)

“The Voice of the People”
The House appropriations
committees are hard at work to
bring a balanced, responsible
budget to the floor in a timely
manner. The budget process
proceeds through the Senate as
well. If there are differences between what the House and Senate wants, a conference committee will be established to work
out the differences. Once the
differences are settled, the budget goes to the Governor’s desk.
Withholds
Governor Nixon continues to
withhold over 480 million dollars from the current budget!
Such things as education, pregnancy centers, public libraries
and others are feeling the monetary pain of his withholds!
First Committee Meeting
We held our first Trade and
Tourism Committee meeting
last Wednesday. All 12 members were present and we had
public hearings on seven bills.
We meet again this Wednesday
at 8 a.m.

Public Open Houses / Deer
Management Meetings
The MO Dept. of Conserva-
tion will be holding open house
meetings to gather public input
concerning several proposed
changes for the 2016-2017 deer
hunting regulations. The nearest meeting will be held at the
Springfield Nature Center on
March 3rd from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.
Legislation
The House passed two bills this
past week and sent them to the
Senate. (Gov. Nixon vetoed
these bills last session and the
veto override vote came up just
short of what was needed to
override).
HB 259 - “MO Dairy Revitalization Act” passed by a vote
of 110-49. It creates a formula
based on a percentage of the
sales tax generated from dairy
products which establishes a
fund that brings immediate assistance to the dairy industry
and also invests in future dairy
farmers.
HB 150 changes unemployment compensation and passed
by a vote of 112-47. It modifies the unemployment benefits
based on the percentage of unemployment with a maximum
of 20 weeks of benefits. I voted
in favor of both bills. Detailed
information can be found at
www.house.mo.gov.

The Rotary Club of Table Rock Lake
Creating a Responsible Budget
The Missouri Senate and
House recently began work on
the state’s budget for Fiscal Year
2016. As a new member of the
Appropriations Committee and
a committed fiscal conservative,
I understand how important this
process is and that we make the
difficult decisions to balance our
budget. With limited resources,
it is important we carefully evaluate each program and expense
to ensure it is a responsible expenditure of the hard-earned tax
dollars of Missourians. These
expenditures should also reflect
our commitment to making government smaller and more efficient.
This process begins with the
governor presenting his budget
to the General Assembly. Unlike
last year, we were able to come
to an agreement with the governor on the Consensus Revenue
Estimate which is a number we
believe best reflects the amount
of revenue we expect. The next
step is for both the Senate and
House Budget Committees to
begin evaluating the governor’s
budget line by line and to give
each state department the opportunity to explain how they
intend to spend the taxpayer’s
dollars.
While we may have reached
an agreement on how much revenue the state has, there are still
some big differences between
the Legislature and the governor on how that money should
be spent.
Some of you may have heard
recent announcements that the
St. Louis Rams may move to another city unless a new stadium
is built in St. Louis. In a bid to
keep the Rams, the governor and
his administration hastily put
together a plan to build a new
stadium in St. Louis with a price
tag of almost $1 billion; $400
million of which would be paid
for by taxpayers. An official in
his office even told our Senate
Appropriations Committee that
the governor has the authority
to issue new bonds on his own,
without legislative or public approval, by way of an extremely
loose interpretation of a more
than 20-year-old statute.
While I’m sure there are some
in the state who would like to
see the Rams stay put, I don’t
believe you are going to find
many Missourians who think
it is a good idea to burden future generations with massive
debt to build a sports stadium.
The Rams’ existing stadium,
the Edward Jones Dome, isn’t
even paid off yet! For these reasons, I strongly oppose using
any taxpayer dollars for a new
sports stadium. The governor is
already withholding funds for
vital budget items like the cybercrimes task force, domestic
violence shelters, and forensic
exams for abused children. To
spend our tax dollars on a new
stadium when so many vital
budget items continue to be underfunded is inconsistent with
our priorities as a state and our
commitment to fiscal responsibility.

title “Missouri Family Physician of the Year”? The Missouri
Academy of Family Physicians
(MAFP) supports over 1,200
active members in the workforce-doing extraordinary things
every day. You know them and
we would like to acknowledge
them. MAFP is now seeking
nominations for this prestigious
award. Nominate you family
physician or a family physician
that you know for our next Missouri Family Physician of the
Year Award. The deadline for
nominations is March 1, 2015.
Nominations may be made
by the public, as well as by
physicians. A nomination form
explaining why you feel this
person deserves the Family Physician of the Year Award must be
completed and submitted by the

of what characteristics make
this family physician stand out
among his/her colleagues.

Founded in 1947, the Missouri
Academy of Family Physicians
ditor, Tom Schweich, recently
conducted an audit of the state
airplane fleet and determined it
is too large, underutilized and
is costing taxpayers too much.
Overall expenditures were about
$6.6 million and an additional
$5.6 million was used to purchase a passenger plane without
Legislative approval and came at
a time when so many important
budget priorities were suffering
from budget cuts. Staff for the
state’s 20-plane fleet costs about
$1.5 million a year. The fleet is
rarely used but costs the state an
absurd $8.7 million a year. The
inappropriate size and rare use
of the planes drew the secondlowest score possible from the
auditor and highlighted a serious misuse of our tax dollars.
It’s our responsibility to protect the public’s money. After
all, they earned it and they expect us to spend it as efficiently and effectively as possible,
without putting it on the credit
card and without making our
children and grandchildren pay
for it. I hope the governor will
come to realize this as well.
As always, I welcome your
ideas, questions and concerns
about Missouri government.

The Road Not
Taken
by Robert Frost
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel
both
And be one traveler, long I
stood
And looked down one as far as
I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as
fair,
And having perhaps the better
claim,
Because it was grassy and
wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing
there
Had worn them really about
the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden
black.
Oh, I kept the first for another
day!
Yet knowing how way leads
on to way,
I doubted if I should ever
come back.
I shall be telling this with a
sigh
Somewhere ages and ages
hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood,
and II took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

South On PP
Submitted: Stan White
Well I’m a mess, hunting and
trapping season is basically over
until spring turkey season, so
I have to switch gears and get
geared up for bass fishing and
bass tournaments and hopefully
win enough to not spend all my
trapping money on entry fees. I
have started cleaning and putting special secret polish on my
bass boat to make it look new
and try to impress the other boat
owners just in case I have a really bad day at the tournament
then this provides a way for the
others to say, well buddy you
sure got a nice looking rig. It’s
better than some guy that finished in the money, saying boy I
thought you said you could fish,
comments like this sometimes
leads to real tensions.
A bass boat isn’t really that
important to fishermen other
than to our egos, which means
it is everything to our minds
but I really doubt if it matters
a wit to a big bass. Of course
the boat has to have certain features to even be a factor in fishing; first off its most important
feature should be that it floats
on top of the water. Now this
seems simple enough for the
fisherman, but nothing can ruin
a good day of fishing than forgetting to put the drain plug in
before you launch. This simple
little act is probably one of the
most over looked chores of fishing. I can’t count the number of
times I’ve been standing in the
marina store looking out at fellows slowly going by the marina
front with not a care in the world
except going fishing. I know
what’s coming because I can see
that the motor and the back of
the boat is slowly sinking and
the fishermen will know too,
just as soon as the water sloshes
over the back of their seats.
While the boat may go out
at 2 miles per hour and I can
guarantee it will be just a short
time when it will come back into
the marina cove at its top speed.
When it goes by, there will be
one guy perched on the very
front of the boat like a hood ornament. His job is to leap twenty feet from the front of the boat
to the boat ramp and run up the
hill to the truck and trailer and
get the whole rig backed back
down the ramp in fifteen and a
half seconds. Any time less than
this and his partner’s self-inflating life vest will go off floating
him completely out of the boat.
Of course the boat driver has a
job to do and that’s to keep the
boat going fast enough to keep
the lake water drained out of
the boat. It is a known fact that
when a boat is sinking because
of no drain plug, it is very possible to actually go fast enough
to make the boat drain itself.
This process demands that the
driver maintain a constant speed
of 100 miles per hour while he
makes small circles in front of
the boat launch ramp.
It’s also the driver’s responsibility to wave his arms and
yell at the top of his lungs at
his partner to forget about his
broken leg he suffered when
he jumped off the boat and for
him to crawl faster. In the mean
time, the driver must keep that
speed up and keep circling in the
cove which causes giant waves
one after another to go crashing
against the banks and the kids
swimming area. The kids love it,
except when they get washed up
on the banks where their mothers grab them and head for high
ground. If the driver can keep
the waves going long enough,
it’s bound to attract some surfboard bum who will ride the
waves to the back of the cove.
Course next comes most
dangerous part for the driver and
his partner providing his buddy
has finally reached the truck,
found the keys and has managed
with broken leg and all to get the
trailer somewhat near the ramp
area. Now, the partner truck
driver has to crane his head out
the window as he has lost sight
of the trailer on the ramp and try
to understand the boat driver’s
signals telling him which way
the trailer is going and this is
not easy as the boat driver keeps
changing his directions as he
circles with one arm motioning
the right way until he gets on
the other side of his circle which
means that arm is not telling him
to go the other direction. This
is understandably very hard on
the partner truck driver and in
certain cases has even caused
said driver to become so upset
that he not only puts the trailer
in the lake but in severe stress
times has even launched the
truck which I must say causes
other boats waiting to launch to
reach a high stress level themselves. Finally the trailer is in a
more or less right position and
it is now up to the boat driver to
get one chance to get it right and
as he makes one more circle and
lines up for the trailer he must
keep his wits about him and it is
very important that he keeps his
eyes open. Closing ones eyes at
the same time as one gives his
boat that last spurt of speed has
been known to not only to hit
the trailer but to also jump from
the trailer to where the boat
stops somewhere in the bed of
the pick-up. This act has been
known to ruin a whole day of
happy fishing!
You will notice that at no
time have I mentioned a female
partner or that a female never
forgets to put the drain plug in.
The female fisherperson has
a checklist that takes a whole
tablet to carry out all the checkpoints. There is also no way that
you are going to hurry that female up, no matter how long the
line of trucks and trailers and
boats waiting to launch. Being
that all male fishermen are natural gentlemen there is no way
that a male can vent his stress as
he would if it was another male
fishermen. No that’s not proper,
even if his heated red face is
blistering the paint off his truck
hook, he must remain in control.
Given time, the female will get
in the boat and after a short time
taken to freshen up her make up
will clear the launch area. Remember gentlemen, jumping out
of your truck and giving high
fives might make said female
think she has forgotten something after all and pull back on
the ramp to do a double check.

My How Things Have Changed In The Ozarks!
Evelyn Allen Fullerton,
Taney County News
Greetings from the Southern
Ozarks, Taney Co. I was sorry
to read the obituary of Tommy
Hardin passing away. His mother was my Uncle Arch Chastain
Sister. Uncle Arch was married
to my Mom’s Sister Mary Morris Chastain. He had another
sister Cora. She married Jack
Roberts.
In our Branson Tri-Lakes
newspaper there was a lady by
the name of Ruth Norris Edwards. She had lived here near
Branson. Her and her husband
had a grocery store and other
business. Fay Norris Barnes
was her sister. She passed away
at the age of 98 years old.
Getting Married
On Wednesday, I called the
Crane Florist. Dad had a phone
in the store. I told the Florist
what I needed, a wedding bouquet of pink and white carnations, also one for the groom
and best man. I was getting married on Sunday August 6th. They
agreed to send them down on
the passenger bus on Saturday.
They would send them C.O.D.
Wallace seemed to have a lot
of friends. The news of him getting married seemed to be traveling from word of mouth. Ruby
his sister worked at the Branson
Garment Factory. They made
men’s pants.
She took my 8x10 graduation
picture with her to work. She
showed it to her friends at work.
Many of them knew Wallace.
Wallace had dated other girls.
I had seen him at church where
Efton and I had sung.
A lady who had a tourist court
in Rockaway Beach came by the
Allen’s Second Hand Store. She
and her husband were giving
us one night free as a wedding
present.
Wallace worked for his older
brother Rondo Fullerton. They
made Frankoma Pottery out of
cement.
Wallace drove up from Branson to our house on Wednesday
morning. He was there by eight.
I expected him early. He gave
me my engagement ring. He
told me to hold out my left hand.
Wallace slipped it on and Mom
and Dad and Ella watched as we
gave each other a big kiss. My
ring had a small diamond. Dad,
Mom, and Ella left to open up
Allen’s Second Hand Store.
Wallace and I were going to
Branson. He wanted to show me
the house he had rented. It was
located across from the Branson
Airport (now it is where White
Water is located) It was a nice
house of two rooms. It had a
drilled well for water. We went
inside to look around. Wallace
said Ruby and him were go-
ing to hang new wallpaper. He
had Ruby help pick it out. She
thought I would like the colors.
It had an off white background
covered with pink and blue
flowers.
We drove on into Branson.
Wallace and his family had a
doctor they used. His name was
Harry Evans. Wallace took me
to his office. He drew our blood
for a blood test. Doctor Evans
said the results would be back
on Friday.
We left town and drove up
Main Street hill to his brother’s
house. He changed into some
old overalls and shirt and went
to work making core for the
concrete pots of all sizes. They
used pallets about 12 Inches
Square. They used a mold that
was in 2 halves held together
by a wire ring. The bowl was
open at the bottom. They spread
a piece of cheesecloth down in
the bowl. It was filled with sawdust packed very tight inside of
it. They used a wooden mallet to
tap the sawdust tight. They removed the wire band and took
the mold off. Rondo Wallace’s
brother used a potter’s wheel.
Get the pallet on it, attached to
the potter’s wheel was a mold
made of wood extended just the
right thickness. The wheel was
turned and the concrete mixture
was trolled on the cheesecloth
mold. After the pottery dried.
The next morning the sawdust
core was removed. There was
the perfect shape flower planter.
Rondo said on certain days he
would paint them. Before painting they were soaked in a big
round animal watering tank.
Lois made cores and every
so often she would hurry in the
house. She was cooking food
for dinner. After work we went
to Wallace’s house to see his
folks. On Friday, Wallace come
and got me and we went back to
Branson to Doctor Harry Evans’
office. We picked up our blood
results papers. Wallace and I
drove over to old Forsyth to the
Courthouse to pick up our marriage license. We wanted Rev
Bob Grodey to marry us.
We went to his house. Wallace
said he worked at Powersite
dam as an operator. We came
into his home and asked him if
he could marry us on Sunday at
Reeds Spring. We were getting
married in my Mom and Dad’s
living room. He said he could
not. He would be working at the
dam at that time. He was sorry.
He had known both of us a long
time from seeing us at Church.
After we left we said he is the
only Pentecostal Minister that
had a license to marry people.

Critter of the Week: Turkey vulture
Species: turkey vulture Scientific name: Cathartes aura Nicknames: buzzard
Species: turkey vulture
Scientific name: Cathartes aura
Nicknames: buzzard
Claim to fame: Few people
would classify seeing a
“buzzard” as an exciting wildlife
sighting, but this bird with a
less-than-glamorous reputation
performs a highly beneficial
service for humans. Because of
a turkey vulture’s diet of carrion
(dead and decaying flesh), dead
animals are cleaned up much
quicker than if the carcasses
underwent the normal process
of decay. This means the smell,
bacteria, vermin and all other
things associated with dead,
rotting carcasses disappear
much faster than they would
in a vulture-less environment.
People can learn more about
vultures from noon to 5 p.m.
on Feb. 21 at the Missouri
Department of Conservation’s
Vulture Venture event at
Shepherd of the Hills Hatchery
near Branson.
Species status: It’s thought
turkey vultures may be
increasing throughout much of
their range, including here in
Missouri. John James Audubon
did not mention the bird in his
1843 trip on the Missouri River,
yet now turkey vultures are
common throughout the region.
This suggests the species has
increased since then because of
changes humans have brought
to the landscape.
First discovered: The first
scientific description of the
turkey vulture was by the
famed naturalist Carl Linnaeus
in 1758. The “buzzard” name
that has been tagged to these
birds is due to a mistake of our
forefathers. “Buzzard” was a
term Europeans used to describe
hawks that soared in their native
lands. When early explorers and
colonists arrived here and saw
these large soaring birds, it was
a natural – though mistaken –
move to name them “buzzards”
as well.
Family
matters:
Turkey
vultures belong to the bird
family Cathartidae, a group of
species commonly known as
the New World vultures. Turkey
vultures are members of the
order Falconiformes, which are
commonly known as the diurnal
birds of prey.
Length: up to 32 inches,
wingspan of 72 inches
Weight: Adults can reach
weights of between four and
five pounds.
Diet:
Vultures
will
occasionally eat mice, rats,
young birds or other live prey;
but the bulk of their diet consists
of carrion.
Distinguishing characteristics:
Turkey vultures have a
brownish-to-black feather color
and have a bare head and neck.
Happy Valentine’s
Day
The head and neck skin color
can range from faint pink to
bright red. Turkey vultures
are so named because their
featherless heads and dark
bodies somewhat resemble a
turkey. Their heads may look
ugly, but they serve a valuable
purpose: A featherless head is
harder for bacteria and vermin to
attach to, which is advantageous
to a creature that spends much
of its time poking its head into
rotting carcasses. Vultures have
a higher developed sense of
smell than most birds, which
stands to reason since they use
smell to find their food.
Life span: A banded turkey
vulture is known to have lived 16
years, but it’s presumed the life
spans of most are considerably
shorter.
Habitat: Turkey vultures can
be found in both forested and
open environments.
Life cycle: Mating and
nesting occurs in the spring in
Missouri. Nest sites are usually
found in sheltered areas such as
hollow trees, crevices, cliffs or
old buildings. Little or no nest
preparation is made at these
sites; eggs are usually merely
laid amongst the debris or on
the flat bottom of the nest site.
Usually two eggs are laid. Eggs
are incubated for 38 to 41 days.
Offspring are cared for by both
parents and fledge in 66-88 days.

Cardinals in Missouri
By Francis Skalicky
Missouri
Department
Conservation
of
Even if they’re not interested
in baseball, virtually all
Missourians are cardinal fans.
The cardinal’s popularity
in this area is helped by its
link to the highly popular
Springfield Cardinals minor
league baseball team and their
parent organization, the St.
Louis Cardinals. Missourians’
love affair with this bird is much
more than a sports thing, though.
The northern cardinal, which
most of us simply refer to as the
“cardinal,” is one of the most
popular songbird species in
Missouri and is probably one of
the best-known birds in North
America. One sign of the bird’s
popularity is its legislative
appeal: Seven states (Illinois,
Indiana,
Kentucky,
North
Carolina, Ohio, Virginia, West
Virginia) have designated the
cardinal to be their state bird.
Part of the reason people
enjoy cardinals is because of
their appearance. The male
cardinal’s bright red coloring,
its black facial markings and
distinctive head crest are sights
that have been enjoyed since
the days the first European
explorers saw the bird in this
country. (The bird’s name is a
result of those initial sightings
by Europeans: It’s named after
the bright red robes worn by
Roman Catholic cardinals.)
Another factor contributing to
the cardinal’s popularity is its
melodic call which is belted out
loud and clear throughout the
spring and much of summer. The
immense popularity cardinals
have experienced made these
birds a highly sought-after
species as cage birds before
modern wildlife laws went into
effect. Thousands were trapped
and sold before they became
protected by the Migratory Bird
Treaty of 1918.
Cardinals
are
found
throughout most of the United
States. In Missouri, cardinals do
not migrate – they can be seen
across the state in both urban
and rural areas throughout the
year. At this time of year, they
can be seen in large clusters
under bird feeders where they
feed on the seed other birds have
scratched to the ground.
Cardinals have expanded
their range over the last 150
years. Originally a bird seen
predominantly in the United
States’ Southeast region, the bird
can now be found throughout
much of the eastern, central and
southwestern U.S. and in parts
of Canada.
Much of the reason for this
expansion is probably because
of habitat assistance provided
by humans in the form of
additional shrubs that are
available for nesting and cover
and an increase in food supply
due to the bourgeoning number
of people who feed birds. If
you’re interested in attracting
cardinals to your backyard,
keep in mind cardinals prefer a
stationary feeder over a hanging
one. Sunflower seeds are a
cardinal food favorite. They
also enjoy white proso millet
and safflower seeds. In terms
of habitat, cardinals prefer a
yard with numerous shrubs that
can provide cover and nesting
habitat.
Dense
evergreens
such as pines are spruces are
also preferred by cardinals for
nesting and cover.
In the wild, the cardinals’
heavy reliance on seeds benefits
a variety of plant species through
a process called endozoochory.
This is the name for the method
of seed dispersal in which
animals ingest seeds, pass
them out of their body in their
feces and these passed seeds
grow into plants. Some plants’
dependencies on birds have
evolved to the point that their
seeds won’t germinate unless
the seed’s protective coat has
been broken down by a bird’s
digestive juices in a process
called scarification.
People can learn more about
cardinals and other birds at a
series of programs at the Missouri
Springfield
Conservation
Nature Center on Feb. 19 and
20. On these two days, awardwinning ornithologist and bestselling author John C. Robinson
will give programs about
birding and discuss how to get
more minorities, youths and
families involved in birding. For
program times and to register for
these events, contact the Nature
Center at 417-888-4237 or got

The Stone County Health Department was awarded a grant
from the Missouri Department of
Health and Senior Services for a
Comprehensive Tobacco Control
Program and Youth Tobacco and
Leadership Program. This grant
totaled just over $13,000 for the
months of October- September
2015.
The Comprehensive Tobacco
Control Program includes conducting a Tobacco Readiness Assessment. With this assessment,
we have surveyed 150 community
members and only 5% of respondents have not supported smokefree workplaces including restaurants, bars, and hotels. Also with
this portion of funding, SCHD was
able to post a billboard in Branson West with a smoke-free message of “Let’s Make Smoke Free
Communities The New Normal.”
We can also be heard on KRZK
106.3fm Radio’s “At Your Service” segments on the 2nd Monday
of the month at 9am.
The Youth Tobacco and Leadership program has been very busy
and successful! We are following the Making Our Mark II program- which was created by kids
for kids and Dallas, Polk, Pulaski,
and Stone Counties are participating in the Southwest Region. The
Reeds Spring Middle School and
Blue Eye High School have partnered with us to start youth teams
to promote the prevention of tobacco and second-hand smoke.
Some events that the youth teams
have been busy with include the
Reeds Spring Middle School Red
Ribbon Assembly on January 27th
and the Blue Eye “Wizard of Oz”
Homecoming on February 6th. The
RSMS Red Ribbon Assembly was
a 45 minute assembly for the entire school with skits performed
by the youth team. Each skit was
related to smoking, e-cigarettes,
and deaths due to smoking. At the
Blue Eye Homecoming event, the
youth team hosted a booth with
games and stickers all related to
smoking and second-hand smoke.
The booth met with and educated
approximately 450 people!
“I am so proud of the youth
teams at both of these schools.
They have become passionate
about educating the community
about the dangers of smoking and
second-hand smoke, and truly want
our community to be as healthy as
possible,” says Monica Spittler,
SCHD Community Health Educator. “Monica has been instrumental in getting these groups started
and it has been very rewarding to
see them get as involved as they
have,” states Pam Burnett, SCHD
Administrator.
The two youth teams have a
few other opportunities for involvement coming up. They are
invited to attend a Tri-Lakes Clean
Air Alliance smoke-free lunch at
Danna’s BBQ in Branson West on
February 21st at 11am- if anyone
is interested in attending to meet
the teams, the alliance, or to get
information about smoke-free activities including cessation, please
contact Monica. The teams are
also scheduled to attend a regional
training on “Best Practices in Tobacco Control” in Springfield on
March 4th, and four students will
be able to attend a statewide Youth
Leadership Summit this summer
at the Lake of the Ozarks. To get

Hello everyone, I’m starting my news this Wednesday
afternoon. The weather is turning much cooler. Roger left for
work. Just hope the road doesn’t
get slick. I just called and talked
to my friend and daughter-in-law
Rhuanell Byrom. Their grand
children have that virus that’s
going around, and Rhuanell said
that her daughter, Belinda Evans was home sick today. I hope
they all get well soon. I had a
stopped up nose part of the night
last night and some headache. I
think the headache came from
my neck being out of place.
Fredie Holt is new in the Kimberling City Nursing Home.
Good luck to you Fredie. Fredie
and all you sick folks. We will
keep you in our prayers.
Some ask for these on the Bible again, so here they are.
Shortest book in the Bible is
2 John, shortest verse is, John
11:35, shortest chapter is Psalms
117, the largest chapter in the
Bible is Psalms 119, and the
largest verse is Esther 8:9.
I want to wish my sister Ernestine Crabtree a Happy Birthday. On February 14, she will be
92 years old.
This is Thursday and a very
cold morning. It was 10 degrees
here this morning with a light
amount of snow and ice. The
ice on the road was causing it to
be hard to travel. It is suppose
to warm up into the 30’s today.
With the sun shining it will melt
this ice and snow. It is suppose
to warm up the next dew days.
My son Roland had to take
his wife Rhuanell to work this
morning. Roger worked until eight o’clock this Thursday
morning. The person that was
suppose to be there when Roger
was suppose to get off at 1 a.m.,
couldn’t get out because of the
bad roads. So Roger worked
from Wednesday afternoon at 5
p.m. to 8 a.m. Thursday.
Let us talk about friendship.
The making of friends who are
real friends, is the best token of
one’s success in life.
Dear friends, since God so
loved us, we also ought to love
one another. Read 1 John 4:11.
Central truth, God commands
us to treat others with respect
and fairness.
I haven’t heard from anyone
from church and I haven’t called
because I was looking for a
call to see how Freedie Holt is.
I thought Brother Johnny Holt
said he would call me. Johnny
isn’t well himself and has so
many things to keep him busy,
and he works.
Hope those that have been
sick are able to make it to
Church Sunday and hope I’m
able to go. Let’s keep all these
in our prayers and me also, one
in hospital, in nursing homes,
in rehab, and all our men and
women in all law services.
Goodnight all.
