Bevier Teenager Donates Hair to Locks of LoveChristina Templeton of Bevier hasn’t

cut her hair since she was 13-14 years old. She will be a Freshman in college this year and decided she wanted a fresh, new look to start her next phase in life.

Christina’s mother, a long time em-ployee of ConAgra Frozen Foods in Ma-con, along with other friends and family suggested she should donate her hair to “Locks of Love” during the “Look Good – Feel Good” segment in the relay for life.

Christina made the appointment with Jackie Patrick of “Jackie’s Family Hair Care” in Bevier. Saturday, June 9th as the relay was taking place in Macon, MO Christina had her hair cut in 3 separate layers, 10” – 11” & 12” so all of her hair will go to helping children.

When Christina was asked how her life has been impacted by Cancer, she stated “My mom and an uncle are survivors, and one of my Grandfathers, one of my Grandmothers and a couple of Uncle’s have passed from cancer.” Christina also has two very good friends who are going through some tough times right now be-cause of their father’s fi ghting the battle.

Christina is a 2012 Graduate of Bevier High School and will be attending Mis-souri Valley in Marshall, MO. She is the daughter of Rebecca and the late Troy Templeton.

A Place..... To Call Home

The smallest act of kindness is worth more than the grandest intention

When you walk upstairs in the Macon County Historical Museum, all the way to the front of the building you will see what looks like a little country cabin, barn siding, roof and all. Inside is an amazing display of kitchen utensils from years past.

Harold Burkhardt, a local brick mason and long time Macon County resident, has a unique hobby of collecting kitchen items from yesteryear.

About 3 years ago, the Macon Coun-ty Historical Society went to the task to update the North Building that was once part of the Blee’s Military Academy. This building was in great despair and some people had little hope that anything could be done with it.

Harold Burkhardt was one local resi-dent that was called upon. Harold had many years of brick laying experience and carpentry skills to boot. He donated his time to help in the project. Harold recalls the roof leaking, ceiling falling in and birds having access for years. The worst part of the building was the part he wanted for his kitchen display.

Harold started collecting baseball cards in 1954 and in that time he has nev-er sold a single one. History was always his favorite subject and in the past years he has collected thousands of items.

Macon County Historical Society Museum Display features Harold’s Country Kitchen

Harold has acquired most of his items through auctions, fl ee markets, sales and even has a few of his own “pickers”. He always has someone calling him if they have found something for him to look at.

Harold can tell you about every kitch-en utensil in his display, some you may never guess what they are. And good luck with trying to buy anything from him, he is a true collector and has a display worth the travel time to see.

Harold will open his kitchen for dis-play during tours and will try and accom-modate anyone wishing to view it. “If there is a special tour I will get away to come so everyone can see the kitchen” states Harold

When asking Harold what the one thing is he would tell the public he stated, “Come out and see the displays, we need more people to keep history alive”.

Harold and his wife Shirley raised their family in Macon County and still reside in the community.

You can view Harold’s Country Kitch-en at the Macon County Historical So-ciety, Hwy 63 South, and Macon, MO 63552

FAITH

HUMOR

From the Desk of the Worship CenterBlockades

Resentments and shame are blockades when trying to serve God.

It could be an injustice that has caused pain, and we may have refused to look at it.

Resentment needs time to grow, because it is the process of anger not dealt with.

Debris from the wreck-age of the past must be cleaned up if the supply line is to remain open.

Mark11:25 tells us that when we stand praying, forgive if we have ought against any, that your Fa-ther may forgive you your trespasses. Could it be that our prayers are not getting through due to unsettled resentments?

When we are hurt we look for healing; when of-fended we look for some one to hurt.

Being offended is about feeling hurt, and this is a blockade that some never overcome.

Causing someone to feel bad, or to be ashamed is a terrible offense. To be damaged internally can

I would love to go back in time. I would go to the late 1800’s if I had a choice, but I would even be happy to get back to the 1970’s, no cell phones, no computers, no Face Book!

Today life is so hectic it’s easy to forget the simple things, let alone take the time to enjoy them. I have so many fond memories growing up and all the games we use to come up with and play. I bet you can count on one hand how many times my kids have played Tag, Annie Over or Red Rover. I wonder if younger kids even know what they are.

I can remember my fi rst bloody nose, we were playing kick ball with all the neighborhood kids. I was always very competitive so I wasn’t going to let it stop me from playing. I went home, got washed off and headed right back to the game. During the summer, we would head out the door that morning and play until dark. My mom always made us check in every 30 minutes or so, which was such a pain. At dark it was time for hide and seek.

One of the crazy things we used to do, and I would have had a stroke if my kids did it, was jumping everything we could. I can remember my brother and I building a ramp for him to jump his bike. He rode

as fast as he could and jumped so high we could see between his tires and the top of the car. When he landed all the spokes broke out of the bike.

A classmate and I decided to play chicken with our new 10 speeds. I, and obviously he too, fi gured the other one would swerve out of the way so we both kept on going straight until we crashed into each other. His bike got bent and he had a few scratches, but luckily I didn’t get hurt.

It just seems that kids today would rather stay inside and play video games and watch TV or maybe it’s easier on the parents to use it as a “baby sitter”. Either way I wish the kids these days could just see all the things they are missing out on growing up that we were able to do. I’m sure my parents and grandparents thought the same thing when we were growing up. Just think, what will it be like when our grandkids are our age?

destroy us.How serious was Jesus

about offending others? Jesus was stern when he said “who so ever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea”.

My worse memories have to do with shame. The good news is Christ bore our shame on the cross. The only way to combat shame is know who we are. I must be-lieve that I am a Child of God and he loved me enough to die for me.

Ps.34:18 The LORD [is] nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saves such as be of a con-trite spirit.

Jesus came to heal the broken heart, and the shame you may be car-rying. When visiting the wreckage of the past take Jesus with you. He will shield you from resent-ment and shame.

Remember Jesus Loves You,

Pastor Ron Thomason

This is the true story of George Phillips of Merid-ian, Mississippi, who was going to bed when his wife told him that he’d left the light on in the shed. George opened the door to go turn off the light but saw there were people in the shed in the process of stealing things.

He immediately phoned the police, who asked “Is someone in your house?” and George said no and ex-plained the situation. Then they explained that all pa-trols were busy, and that he should simply lock his door and an offi cer would be there when available.

George said, “Okay,” hung up, counted to 30,

and phoned the police again.

“Hello, I just called you a few seconds ago because there were people in my shed. Well, you don’t have to worry about them now because I’ve just shot them all.”

Then he hung up. With-in fi ve minutes three squad cars, an Armed Response unit, and an ambulance showed up. Of course, the police caught the burglars red-handed.

One of the policemen said to George: “I thought you said that you’d shot them!”

George said, “I thought you said there was nobody available!”

Hello there America, Jim up north here bring-ing you a most yummy discovery. Friday nights here in the north lands are big Friday fi sh fry nights, or better known as FISH BOILS. Yes it is just like it sound’s, big black caldrons just like in a Harry Potter story; re-ally witchy looking thing with a big fi re burning below it. Then comes the water, bring it to a boil, add onions, potatoes and other spices and the big-gest fi llets of northern cod you have ever seen. It’s all put into the pot, boiled while you watch from the patio with your favorite beverage in hand the air induced with sweet smells of some-thing cooking and it’s got your name on it. Ok right now you’re think-ing boiled fi sh boiled po-tatoes, onions not sound-ing to good yet but!!! O contraire Mon friar, it’s terrifi c and it’s all you can eat. It all gets put on your plate, melted butter covering everything ( well there goes that good for you part I was going to say ) back it up with some ice tea wow just

don’t get any better than that. Sometimes they will have Bar-B-Q chicken also, thus fi sh or chick-en or fi sh and chicken, words to be spoken at the order desk and did I mention it’s all you can eat for about 12 bucks per person. I hesitated for 6 years before giving this heavenly experience a try and now can’t wait till we go again. If you like lobster then this is for you, but it’s not the lobster price, I swear you can’t tell the difference in the taste, big pieces of white fl aky cod covered with hot melted butter with a slight hint of gar-lic boiled baby potato’s smothered with onions. I’m beginning to sound like someone from the food network channel and I think I’m gain-ing weight just talking about it. Ok, let me put it to you this way, it’s like Lou La’s but only in the fi sh world ….Ok now you see what I am talking about!!! And if you don’t know about Lou La’s in Moberly well there is an adventure for you to seek out. Good Eats to you all from me up north and the Fish Boils every Friday

This is the seventh week of the story of Jean Emily Clark Ray. If you missed any weeks prior, call (660)346-8808 for your copies of The Macon County Home Press South Edition.

Even though my school was an all girls school, and the boys were further down the road we could see them out playing in the play ground. The head of our school was the head mistress and for the boys the head master. Even though I was a good student, I was always doing something mischievous which sent me to the head mistress for punishment,which was hitting the forearm with a ruler, and it hurt. Even though I was naughty at times I was chosen to be a school prefect along with my friend June Brookes. Our duties were to report other girls for various actions like running in the halls and being unruly. I received a book of poetry in my senior year for being a good prefect, which I still have.

They chose twenty girls out of forty fi ve to spend three weeks in Oxford and me being one of them, I was thrilled beyond words. I was a bit worried though as I only had one good dress and two pair of underwear and asked my mom if she would buy me some new clothes for my trip. She was paying fi fteen cents a week on a nice spring dress for me and I asked her if she would pay it off in full so that I could take it with me. It did not happen and when I returned home there was the dress but it did not mean as much to me. It’s funny how little things like that stay in your mind forever.

Needless to say I had the time of my life, three meals a day, my own bed and freedom from that little cramped house I called home. I loved doing acrobats and could only do them the days I wore the only pair of underwear with no holes in

Life and Times of Jean Emily Clark Ray

them. My class mates would never let me forget if I wore the ones with holes.

Each day we would go into Oxford to spend time looking at the famous colleges there, some being centuries old. Oxford England has the most beautiful colleges and I was privileged to explore most of them Christchurch was my favorite. Lewis Carroll, alias Charles Dodgoon, was a student of Christ church and was also the author of Alice in Wonderland. One day he was looking from his window and saw Alice who was the Dean’s daughter and made up the story which he told to her. After a little coaxing he wrote the book which became famous around the world.

All too soon I had entered my last year

in school and I was privileged to take lessons of chess from my head mistress Miss Eastgate .We started a chess club and initiated several girls who were eager to learn and this was done at lunch time so it would not interfere with our lessons. Soon we were competing with other schools and I went on to win the championship of the west Midlands. For this honor I received the fi rst ivory queen trophy...Peckham road secondary modern girls school won it all having won fi rst, second, third and fourth place ,knocking out Kent school who had won the trophy the last four years. The Menchik chess cup was awarded to our team and to have this published in the paper with pictures was quite an honour (you will

see words spelled different and think that I do not spell very well, but we do spell some words differently from American spelling). After I fi nished school I took the test for grammar school and passed, why I took it I do not know. My parents could not come up with the uniform needed for that type school. I fi nished tenth in a class of forty-fi ve. I was content as I gave my best. I continued to play chess after I graduated and joined a chess club playing people from London by phone. I was the only fi fteen year old and the only girl in the club amongst several elderly gents. Needless to say I did not do too well. After all I was playing with the masters of the game. To Be Continued…

Michael Stark is one of seven Missouri high school seniors that have been selected to receive college scholarships through the 16th annual Project 21 Scholarship competition sponsored by the Missouri Gam-ing Association, the statewide professional association of the Mis-souri casino industry.The Project 21 Scholar-

Stark Receives Scholarship from Missouri Gaming Associationship was developed to ed-ucate young people about the issues and dangers of underage gambling. In Missouri, it’s illegal for persons under the age of 21 to gamble in a casino. The competition is open to all Missouri high school seniors planning to attend an institution of higher education in the United States within four years of graduation.

The students were asked to create an essay/article, poster or video aimed at educating their peers about the illegal-ity and dangers of under-age gambling. The entries were published or viewed in the students’ high schools in January or Feb-ruary to help educate other students.

The Missouri Gam-ing Association awards

$7,000 a year in scholar-ships, jointly issued to the winners and the accredited institutions of higher edu-cation they select.

“The Missouri casino industry is dedicated to ed-ucation through awareness efforts like Project 21,” said Mike Winter, execu-tive director of the Mis-souri Gaming Association.

Michael Stark of Ma-con received a $750 schol-

arship for a winning poster entry. Michael is a 2012 graduate of Macon High School and is the son of Larry Stark and the late Trisha Stark of Macon. His grandparents are Bill and Winnie Stark and Gary and Sharon Harold. Michael plans to further his education this fall at the University of Central Missouri in Warrensburg MO.

Just as I start to think things are calming down around here, I get reminded quickly that I have two boys and things are anything but calm. Tuesday night my hus-band and I were getting ready for bed after watching a little T.V. On my way to our bedroom I noticed the boys still had their light on. I went into their room to tell them good night and they were anything but ready for bed. Gabe and Garet were all decked out in their camo clothes. To my surprise I asked them what they were doing. They said they wanted to go jug fi shing. For those of you that don’t know what jug fi shing is, it’s when you tie fi shing line to an empty bleach or milk jug, bait it for fi sh, throw it in the pond and catch fi sh. The boys said they needed bait for their jugs. I fi gured they had a plan and sure enough I was right. They said they were going to the pond to catch frogs and use the frogs for bait. I was a little hesitant for them to carry out this plan at 10:30 pm. They got the OK from their dad and with BB guns, fl ash lights, and a bucket in tow down to the pond they went. I fi gured they would be down there a few minutes and they wouldn’t be able to shoot any frogs and they would be back to the house before I knew it. I fi gured

wrong! I hollered down to the pond to check on them and was instructed by Gabe to go back in the house I was scaring the frogs. Finally they came in the back door with muddy jeans and muddy boots. Even the fl ash lights had mud on them and they had their buck-et. I asked how it went, they said they did good! In their bucket they had about six or seven frogs. I was a little surprised but then surprised at myself for be-ing surprised at them because if they set their mind to something it’s going to happen. About the jug fi shing,

I will have to let you know how that ended a lit-tle later. Their f a s c i n a t i o n with jug fi shing stems from tell-ing them a story about my grand-pa and how we used to fi sh with jugs. I was al-ways excited to go to the pond and see a jug moving that’s how we knew we had a fi sh on the line. Then grandpa would cast a line us-ing a fi shing pole and some-how snag the jug and reel it into the bank of the pond. I was always so amazed to see him do this. I still don’t know how he did it so

well using very few casts. I told the boys if they got a fi sh on the jug we would have to take the boat out and get it because I would never be able to snag the jug. Happy fi shing everyone!! That’s life in the country.

Sara Duncan also received a blue ribbon for her horse demonstration and will move onto the state 4-H Horse Demonstration Contest held on the MU Campus in September.

Several members participated in the judging portion of the day, placing and giving reasons why they placed the class the way they did. There were classes in several divisions including photography, clothing, poultry and goats.

The Skill-A-Thon contest requires a group of 4-H members to complete a task as fast as they can that in-cludes great teamwork and involving each member of the group. This year the groups were asked to identify different animal tracks and test their memory at a giant maze game. The winning team included Isaac Berg-fi eld, Ben Nelson and Rebecca Helton.

During the Personal Development contest, contes-tants go in for an interview where they talk to a judge and are scored on their introduction, attitude, personal appearance and interview skills. This year’s winners were 8-10 year old girl Riley Koch, 8-10 year old boy Lane Blackford, 11-13 year old girl Remingtyn Bealm-er, 11-14 year old boy Timmy Johnston, 14 and over girl Jackie Rowe and 14 and over boy Ben Nelson.

The award will be presented to the individual during the 57th Annual Callao Harvest Fiesta, August 3rd and 4th. The committee has received updated new stage con-struction bids from PLS Builders of Callao, MO and Jepson Lumber of Macon, MO. The stage fund has $7,041.61 in the account.

Linda Haley reported on the May 4 ceremony held at the Civil War stat-ue in Brookfi eld.

Ruth Masten showed the silent auction bas-ket and told what items were in it that will to be taken to the State Depart-ment convention meet-ing in Springfi eld on June 1-3. Joann Tharp had sent a package of items for the garage sale to be held at the Department meeting.

Mettie Davis read the fi fth installment of “ Patriotic Pals, Tails of the Civil War; Brutus, a New-foundland, tried and true “ which is told through the eyes of a dog.

The meeting was ad-journed at 2:32.

The program was given on “Heritage Spinning with Wool” by Ron and Sharon Hutchinson. The industry was established around 1690 in the colo-nies. England guarded the information on how to spin wool. There was a law that would not al-low the industry in the colonies. The industry was fi nally developed by a man who memorized how to make the spin-ning wheels etc. Sharon spoke of how carding was done by 3 and 4 year old children, while she dem-onstrated the art of card-ing. It was required that they had to spin at least 4 pounds a week. Children were to pick 150 pounds while women had to pick 500 pounds a day. If they didn’t they were whipped. She also spoke of the Wat-kins Mills. Used equip-ment was brought in 1860 to the mill where 40 peo-ple worked on the three

fl oors, included were: 25 men, 10 women and 5 children as apprentices be-tween 5-7 years old. The women worked 70 hours a week and earned $3.50 to 4.00 a week.

Watkins Mill is one of the last intact mills. It also had a grist mill ran on steam power. She showed several articles. All the time that Sharon was giv-ing the program, Ron, her husband, spun wool into thread.

Refreshments were served by hostess-es, Joanne Gaines and Gail Shoush to: Ruth Masten, Catharine Llewellyn, Becky Lang, Marilyn Freeman, Donna Ayers, Sharon Hutchin-son, Janie Magers, Elna Williams, Martha Hen-ry, Mettie Davis, Anna Jones, Aileen Burns, Lin-da Haley, Ruth Thompson and Thelma Sartain with guests Ruth Douglas, Merlyn Amedei and Ron-ald Hutchinson.

Members of American Legion Post 57 & Auxiliary, Bucklin, attended the governor’s signing of the Veterans Nursing Home Funding Bill at the Cameron Veteran’s Home in Cameron, MO., on June 1st. Attendees were L to R: Carolyn & John Payne, Gerald & Carol Payne, Bobby & Wilma Jobson.

Seventh Grade. My body had changed drasti-cally. Boys who had been my friends for years start-ed acting strangely. Rela-tionships with my friends who were girls also be-came strained, some even stretched to snapping. Bas-ketball had been my focus, but even that became diffi -cult as I began to learn that street ball and basketball were two different things. The latter had fouls! Who knew? You would think that all of this would have been stress enough.

Enter stage left, Mrs. Stone and Home Eco-nomics (Home Ec). Mom couldn’t get me in the kitchen with chains so my reaction to having to take Home Ec was much like a feral cat’s reaction to getting picked up. I was NEVER going to use Home Ec. I had to accept my body and its changes, basketball and its fouls and the strain with my friends but I did not have

You never know . . .to accept this training to be a “woman”!

The Sewing Machine and I. I did not believe that inanimate objects could be possessed by the devil until meeting what would be my sew-ing machine in Home Ec. I would attempt to follow Mrs. Stone and the pat-tern’s directions carefully, only to end up ripping out 18 ft of seams because the bobbin ran out. When it broke, I would race to Mrs. Stone for help and as soon as she touched that machine it was as if Jesus had walked into the room and healed a leper. That sewing machine would sing love songs to her as she fi xed whatever mess I had made. I plotted to toss that machine out the win-dow until my mother said I would have to pay for the rest of my life to cover the cost of replacing it. Mrs. Stone passed me on that project because she was merciful. I burned the skirt and shirt when my mother wasn’t looking.

Apple Pie and my best friend. My best friend in the whole world had the unfortunate experience of being teamed with me on cooking projects in this class. On one culinary ad-venture we were assigned to bake an apple pie. She and I set out all those things we required, ingredients and utensils. I believed I was reading the recipe carefully and she believed that I was, in fact, literate. However, the pie simply wasn’t fi nishing and class time was almost over! My dear friend glanced at the recipe to discover that I had not only misread the oven heat but the cook-ing time as well. I have never attempted another apple pie. I should have

warned her that my moth-er once helped me fi nish 32 batches of cookies be-cause I switched Baking Soda and Baking Powder. Seriously, can’t we change their names to something more bloody different! I believe Mrs. Stone passed us on that project because she was afraid of seeing me another semester.

The real irony here is that my current occupa-tion is domestic goddess (homemaker) and love it! The moral of the story; you never know where life is going to take you so learn everything you are given an opportunity to learn. Mrs. Stone, if you are reading this, thank you so much, I do use Home Ec every day!

A MINI TOUR OF THE TOWN

Since lack of space prevents a full tour of the town the next best thing don’t you fi gure is a mini tour? This is just a small part of what is seen from my golf cart early one June morning. A look at the south end of town (next week we will travel across the bridge and do the north side).

Lonnie and Linda Hensley have new fl ow-ers in their colorful yard. A variegated lavender and white clematis is starting to cover the south side of the trellis.

Who says you can’t have it all? At Kenny and Mary Jo Sappington’s a nice pleasure boat sets beside a well kept garden with a couple of comfort-able of lawn chairs at the garden’s edge. Work, play and a spot to relax. In-deed, you can have it all.

Jack Wild has two big neat gardens. The dry spell has not slowed them down in the least. Lorene is probably all ready to start canning.

Tim and Jenna Mitchell have a new American fl ag on their front porch. Looks good.

Julia Jackson has hung Carl Robert’s Jeff Gordon #24 banner out front. Carl was a NASCAR fan with #24 his favorite.

Bill and Alice Thomp-son have a wide variety of blooms in their fl ower beds. You won’t fi nd a sprig of grass out of place there.

A new neighbor on W. Washington Street, Mr. Mason, is in the process of settling in. Welcome to Bucklin!

What a pretty picture : the dark purple clematis at the west side of Betty Shoemaker’s home on Gentry Street is truly full of bloom.

Better slow the cart down so the little kittens at Zack Burk’s corner can run for cover. They some-times play near the road and we know to look out for them. A good variety of sizes and colored kitties playing in the yard.

Dean and Shanna Gauthier are painting their house here on Walnut

Street. It is always good to see the activity at Gauthier’s yard

with young people playing ball and now a “paint party” going on.

Lookin’ good. (Russell and Jerry Davolt kept their home neat for so many years. Now their grand-daughter and her family

are doing the same).Over on West Santa Fe

street Bailey and Verlaine Frye have planters of pan-sies blooming around the fl ag pole in the front yard. As I pass Bailey is ham-mering and Verlaine is holding boards for him on a project out in the yard. It is good to live where people will stop what ever is at hand to give a friend-ly wave.

Lexi Finney’s big spot-ted bunny rabbit is snooz-ing in the shade in Doug’s yard across the street from our house. A good idea, end of tour.

Folks that is it for this time. A tour of the north end of town is scheduled for next week if nothing gets in the way of my cart.HUGHES TO GRADU-ATION

Maragaret had pre-pared a Bar B Que supper topped off with birth-day cake, ice cream and cup cakes before Ethan opened his birthday gifts.BUCKLINS VISIT

Tom and Mary Ann Bucklin stopped by for the afternoon as they headed home from their farm in Kansas. They treated Marj King to lunch at Tall Paul’s and visited sev-eral friends before head-ing home to Glenview, Illinois. A few years ago they had come in town to see if perhaps some of their kinfolks had founded the town of Bucklin. That was not the case but they still come by occasionally to visit friends they have made here. The Bucklins were honored as parade marshals here at the Buck-

lin Homecoming a few years ago. We hope they can make it back for the homecoming this year.YARD OF THE WEEK

Others from Bucklin at-tending were Frances Jen-kins, Don and Doris Noah and Darla Noah St. Dennis.ODDS ‘N ENDS

Have you been out to the City Lake lately? It is mowed so neatly. If you happen to be there just before sunset it would be hard to fi nd a more beauti-ful and peaceful spot any-where. The fi sh were not biting but we really didn’t care.

When the time comes to meet my Maker here is one of my questions. If

I may be so bold as to ask a question. “What were You thinking about

when you made a chig-ger?” No offense intended, but if they have a contribu-tion to make to mankind it escapes me. Last week a trip to the pond yielded zero fi sh and about 25 chigger bites.

The Civic Club spon-sors hanging of the fl ags along main street for holi-days and special occa-sions. Two need to be re-placed. If you have a fl ag in good shape that you are not using please contact President of the club Deb Reid or give me a ring. We will be happy to pick it up.

Mark July 8 on your calendar so you won’t miss the fi sh fry and pie auction in the park at noon. The BCA is doing the cooking and hope you will come and eat with your neigh-bors. All proceeds go toward homecoming ex-penses.

Do you have an item for the Bucklin page? If so please call me at 660 695 3600, email [email protected] or just feel free to come by our house any-time. If you weren’t so good to help out the news would be mighty skimpy. Every article is appreciat-ed and enjoyed by readers from Elsberry, Missouri to Los Angeles, California.

CALLAO COUPLE RIDE FOR MILITARY

For most people, the carefree days of childhood were fi lled with good times with friends and family free from excess worry and stress.

But as people grow up, most trade the innocence of childhood for worries about fi nances, their fam-ily’s health, job security, politics, the economy and environment, and their children’s future. Still, a pervasive sense of opti-mism guides, protects and inspires all of us. Some sci-entists would even go so far as to say that human beings are hardwired for hope.

By defi nition we are planners. We have sav-ings accounts, we service our cars before winter, we plan vacations, and we buy green bananas. Planning is a form of cognitive time travel. We forecast how we’re going to feel about something by planning ahead. How can we live a healthier lifestyle? What do we need to do to save for retirement? How can we free up more time to do more of the things we want to do? All of these things require the ability to imag-ine the future by painting a rosy picture in our minds.

A positive attitude has long been linked to better mental health, but in the last few years, a person’s optimistic nature has also shown to be benefi cial for a person’s physical health.

Did you know heart dis-ease patients are more apt to survive a heart attack or heart surgery if they have a positive outlook on life?

Researchers at Duke University Medical Center surveyed over 2,800 heart disease patients regarding how optimistic they felt about their illness. They were asked if they thought they would suAccessfully recover and then be able to return to their regular daily life.

The researchers fol-

Seeing the GlassHalf Full

lowed the patients for 15 years after which 1,637 had died. The majority (885) of the patients had passed away from heart disease. But there was encourag-ing news, too. The patients who had an optimistic out-look were 30 percent less likely to die during the 15-year period.

Duke University re-searchers also found that pessimism was linked to poorer health– which fac-tored similar patients with severe heart disease, age, income, gender and support from family and friends.

The study concluded that a patient’s optimistic outlook has a direct corre-lation not only on the out-come of their disease but also how successfully they will transition from being a heart disease patient to re-turning home and having a productive daily routine.

But there’s a small wrin-kle in the optimism studies and that is this: Tali Sharot, Ph.D., a neuropsychologist at University College Lon-don, has said that when the brain foresees the future as being better than the past, it’s called “The Optimism Bias.”

That was the basis for a new study which found that the brain sometimes is overly optimistic. Like the song lyrics, “Don’t worry, be happy” the study suggests the brain often picks and chooses which optimistic message to lis-ten to. For example, even though people know the divorce rate is 50 percent; they don’t feel they will be one of the unfortunate sta-tistics. Or, they see an ad campaign that says smok-ing can cause severe health problems, but their brain ig-nores the message. Instead, the brain sends out a mes-sage that says that smoking can certainly cause health problems, but those prob-lems are more apt to be linked to other smokers.

What should we take away from this study in our everyday life? A combina-tion of optimism and real-ism may be the smartest combination of all. Envi-sioning a better tomorrow relies partly on the hip-pocampus, the part of the brain that is crucial to mem-ory. Science has confi rmed that as human beings we are programmed to be hopeful, but it’s also important to be realistic.

So plan ahead, work hard and enjoy the world around you. Live life to the fullest with a combination of optimism and realism, and chances are you’ll reap the rewards of better health. Buy green bananas to enjoy in the future, but keep an umbrella in your car, just in case the weather unpredict-ably changes.

June is Great Outdoors Month, an opportunity to enjoy and explore nature. What better way to ap-preciate the outdoors than camping or taking a trip to the cabin? A camping excursion is a time to re-lax and have fun, but it’s also important to main-tain healthy eating hab-its and take advantage of the activities you can do outside. TOPS Club, Inc. (Take Off Pounds Sensibly), the nonprofi t weight-loss support orga-nization, offers tips for a healthy, safe camping trip.

Stay Active

It’s nice to unwind by ly-ing on the pier to soak up the sun or taking a boat ride around the lake, but it’s also fun to get moving during the trip.• Hiking – Campers can enjoy the scenery and burn calories at the same time. Hiking is an effec-tive workout and gives you a chance to slow down and enjoy nature.• Biking – Hit the open road on a bicycle. It’s a great way to burn calo-ries, tone muscles, and fi t in a cardio workout. Re-member to wear a helmet!• Swimming – Swimming is a full-body workout. It’s easy on your joints, raises your heart rate, and is refreshing on a hot day.• Canoeing or kayaking – This is a great opportunity to get on the water and use your upper body strength. Not only does it work muscles and raise a per-son’s heart rate, but it can also be a peaceful activity. • Volleyball – If you’re near a beach or have enough space at the campsite, get a group of people together for a few rounds of volleyball.• Geocaching – This is an outdoor scavenger hunt that uses a GPS and coor-dinates to locate a cache that others have hidden, including trinkets, amaz-ing views, and other ob-jects. It’s a chance to connect with nature and is fun for the whole family.

Eat Well

Before a camping trip,

TOPS Helps Plan a Healthy Camping Trip

create a menu for the week. Planning meals ahead of time allows you to stay on track with healthy eating habits.• Breakfast – Oatmeal and fresh fruit are great options for a sensible breakfast. Try making scrambled eggs over the campfi re with a cast iron skillet.• Snacks – Pack celery, carrots, apples, oranges, grapes, or nuts as snacks. Choose foods that are easy to carry on a hike or store at your campsite.• Protein – Prepare lean meats for lunch and dinner – chicken, fi sh, turkey dogs, beef la-beled “choice” or “se-lect,” or buffalo burgers.• Fresh produce – Water-melon, berries, and apples are great summer selec-tions. Prepare fresh veg-etables – corn, peppers, onions, etc. – over the campfi re by placing them in a foil packet and nest-ling it into the coals (this can also be done with po-tatoes, chicken, or fi sh).

Be SafeSun Matters

Avoid the damaging ef-fects of the sun and the is-sues caused by excessive heat, such as heat stroke. Lather up with a thick layer, about a shot glass full, of broad-spectrum sunscreen with a sun pro-tection factor (SPF) of at least 30. The higher the SPF, the more sun pro-tection you will receive. Generously apply the sun-screen and reapply often. Dress to protect. A wide-brimmed hat is ideal to protect areas that are ex-posed to the sun, includ-ing your ears, eyes, fore-head, nose, and scalp. Wear UV-blocking sun-glasses to protect your eyes. Look for a label that indicates that they block 99 to 100 percent of UVA and UVB radiation. Wear lightweight cotton cloth-ing to cover up your body without overheating.

Seek shade or avoid direct sunlight during the hottest part of the day, usu-ally between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Find a shade tree

or relax under an awning.

First Aid and Emergen-cy Supplies

• Bandages• Tweezers• Ibuprofen and other medications like allergy relief or antacid• Flashlight• Antibiotic cream• Scissors• Batteries• Compass or GPS• Oral antihistamine• Tissues• Ice pack• Insect repellent contain-ing DEET

Hydration

Don’t wait until you’re thirsty to drink water. Signs of dehydration in-clude dizziness, confu-sion, headaches, loss of energy, dry skin, rapid pulse, sticky saliva, and dark urine. Limit your consumption of alcoholic beverages and sugary soft drinks to help avoid dehy-dration.
