Ron and Raeann Lenzini recently do-nated a collection of Civil War relics to the Macon County Historical Society Museum in memory of their son, Rus-sell. Ron and Russ shared a love of metal detecting. Russ did the research and Ron provided the labor of fi nding the remnants of yesteryear. Many of the articles in the collection were found and

excavated in Macon and Macon County as well as other sites in Missouri.
Of particular interest are the origi-nal documents issued in Macon when the Union forces were encamped here. The Lenzini’s felt these were of histori-cal importance and should remain at the museum as a part of Macon’s Civil War history.

Who When He Had Found One Pearl
Matthew 13: 46 The pearl is formed
from a tiny grain of sand hidden in the oyster’s body.
Around the soft body is a shell for its protection. The church can be com-pared to the oyster, easily damaged without the shell of God’s protection. Some would tell us the pearl is Jesus Christ, but it is Jesus who plants the pearl which is the Holy Spirit.
II Corinthians 3:6 Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testa-ment; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter kills, but the spirit gives life.
Regardless of the size, the history, the treasury, the church without the pearl of the Spirit is com-mon, lifeless, and con-sumed by politics, ritu-als, and compromise. The word tells us, “Where the Spirit is there is liberty”. This does not suggest that God advocates churches
without good govern-ment and order. In no way should a church be full of people doing their own thing and where everyone is his own “loose cannon”. The Spirit does not turn us loose but gathers us up to be led and guided into all Truth. To be effective, God’s church must be in the control of His Holy Spirit.
John 16:13 Howbeit when He, the Spirit of Truth, is come, He will guide you into all truth: for He shall not speak of Himself; but whatsoever He shall hear, [that] shall He speak: and He will shew you things to come.
The pearl is formed from a grain of sand that causes great irritation. Al-though the Spirit of Truth can be uncomfortable and rub us the wrong way; when we obey treasures are formed within us.

Another year and another fl oat trip. Why do we torture ourselves?
Our fi rst fl oat trip could be referred to as a learning experience. That is if we actually learned anything. We were tent camping with friends that went yearly and knew all the ends and outs. We had a great time despite not having sun screen and missing parts of the tent we borrowed along with holes in the air mattresses from being stored for years.
The next year I was going to be prepared. I went to purchase our own tent. I found a 4 man tent on display and all the bags of tents were lying nicely around the display. I grabbed one and after checking out I was sure to place it in the back of the car so we wouldn’t forget it. I fi gured that was one thing already packed and we didn’t have to worry about it. Once we arrived at our spot everyone was setting up camp. I couldn’t wait to get our new tent out since we were the laughing stock of last year with half a tent and no air mattresses. My husband grabbed the bag and we began to set up our camp only to fi nd once we got the tent up it was the size of a child’s pup tent and would only hold our luggage! So here we are, once again, at the butt of our friends jokes. We spent the weekend in the back hatch of our car. Actually one night was enough and we went home early.
Our third year was
much better. I was sure to get a tent big enough, a nice queen sized air mattress and all. This year we were prepared. We got there and once again everyone set up camp. I got a few remarks about our tent being too big, but it was great, we had room for a dressing area and room for a queen bed. All the sudden, everyone started laughing hysterically. I was afraid to turn around and see what all the excitement was because I was sure I had done something wrong. I’m happy to say, this was the year the tables were turned. One of our friends purchased a cool folding, rocking chair and as he took it out of the bag to set it up, he found it was just the right size for a 3 year old. We loved it! Finally we could make fun of someone!!!
Since then we have been renting cabins when we fl oat, something about turning 40. Now we are venturing on another fl oat trip with a whole new crew. Sad thing is we are the veteran fl oaters and I still don’t know if we got it right!
I do have to say, if you have never been on a fl oat trip, you need to go at least once in our life! It’s a

HOMECOMING IS COMING!
The 74th annual Buck-lin Homecoming is fast approaching. Dates this year are August 2 ,3 and 4th. Flyers are in various stores and shops, ads will be published in your local paper and plans are com-ing together.
If you would like to help in any way with our homecoming contact Thelma Jones at 695-3239, Stacey Anders at 695-3587, Bob Davis 695-3566 or David Jen-kins at 695-3738. There is always a spot to fi ll and you will be welcome.
Betty Shoemaker re-ports a good response to the family sponsorship drive. If you are inter-ested in the homecom-ing and would like to lend a hand but are not sure how; here is a good way. Family sponsorship is $25.00 and you may call or contact Betty Shoe-maker 695-3393 if you need more information. Family sponsors will be listed on the poster in the community building dur-ing the homecoming.
Homecoming related news; the fund raiser fi sh fry and pie auction last Sunday noon was a great success. Lori Davis and Stacey Anders are fund raiser chairpersons and they had it all together. A large crowd came to the community building for a fried fi sh dinner before the pie auction.
Bucklin is fortunate to have an auctioneer right here in town. Col. Randy West volunteered his time and talent to auc-tion the pies. What a fun time with a lemon pie bringing a $65.00 (thanks Kurt Williams for your generosity). The auc-tion totaled 610.00 and Col. West was about out of voice when it was over.
MILLER’S ANNUAL VACATION
Pearl Miller and her family went on their 11th annual four
generation vacation from June 25 to July 2, 2012. This year the
family went to the Wisconsin Dells. Fam-ily members going were Pearl Miller, Bucklin; Leroy Miller, Marceline; Travis and Nicole Fritts and children Madelyn and Logan, Columbia; and GiGi Leighr and children Miranda and Madison from Kearney.
CHRISTIAN WOM-EN’S FELLOWSHIP
Bucklin Christian Church CWF met July 10, 2012 in the church fel-lowship room. President Patsie Hughes opened the meeting and led the group in reciting the CWF prayer. New year books were distributed. Once again Lynn Akins had prepared and printed the year books; she was giv-en a vote of appreciation by the group. Roll call was taken by Secretary Emily Switzer with 12 la-dies and 3 guests present.
The secretary report was read and accepted as given. Treasurer Jean Still gave her report and it was accepted as read. Reports from the worship and study committee and kitchen committee were given.
Pearl Miller had at-tended the Second An-nual Every Woman Mat-ters Day at the Brookfi eld Christian Church recent-ly. She gave an interest-ing account of the day. The theme this year was Butterfl ies, Bonnets and
Blossoms. It was a very interesting event with guest speakers, a gourmet luncheon, silent auction, general store and inspirational workshops just to mention a few at-tractions.
At the close of the busi-ness session refreshments were served by Marilyn Dowell and Judy Bakke. Pearl Miller was awarded the door prize.
The next CWF meeting will be August 14 at 1:45 p m in the church.
Dena Peterson will be in charge of worship, Jean Still has the study.
Hostesses will be Linda Hensley and Pearl Miller. ( note the new time to meet this year is 1:45 p m).
YARD OF THE WEEKThe yard of the week
sign is kept on the move in spite of the dry condi-tions. The month of June the sign was located in the yards of Tish Fox, Lau-rence (Peeper) and Re-gina Jackson, Dean and Shanna Gauthier, Rick and Patti Gilmore and Randy West.
ODDS ‘N ENDSThis is a mystery. Last
Tuesday all of our purple martins were gone.
Thirteen birds had been there to entertain me as I worked in our gar-den on Monday. Tuesday they were absent all day. Now it is Wednesday July 11 and here they are back again. Do your purple martins vanish and re-turn? Ours always leave when the little ones fl y but isn’t it too early for them to head south?

Clark Dobbs, from the Macon First Baptist Church, led Bible study Friday morning. The study title was “Free”. Scripture was read from John 16:5-15.

Yesterday my Grandmother and I took a trip to Rut-ledge, MO. For those of you that don’t know Rutledge, MO is primarily a Mennonite community and was put on the map because it is home to one of the largest fl ea markets in Missouri. My Grandma likes to revisit her old stomping grounds about three or four times a year. She loves shopping at Zimmerman’s grocery store buying bushels of peaches, large quantities of spices, pasta, and other various things. She enjoys going to the Meat Market where beef and pork is smoked and butchered weekly if not daily. Her and my Grand-fathers trips to Rutledge started so many years ago I cannot remember when they didn’t make the hour trip to Northeast Missouri. Years ago my grandparents were regulars at Compton’s Auction Barn in Callao, MO. They would attend dealer’s auc-tions and buy new items in large quan-tities. They bought what they were in-terested in Grandma bought touch lamps, comforters, fi gu-rines, jewelry, and many other things. Grandpa bought tools, knives, cast iron bells, lighters, fi shing poles, and re-ally whatever would make money. They would pack up the van during the week which held all their items. Then, when they would get off work on Friday, up north they would go. Dad would take us up on Saturday morning. Grandma and Grandpa had a small camper that they slept in. Sometimes we would spend the night too, but usually we went home Saturday night because vendors were just set up on Friday and Saturday. On Sunday the vendors packed up and went home. Most families on go vacations, we went to Rutledge. We had so much fun, back then, the concessions stand sold pop in glass bottles. We could turn in our empty glass bottles and in exchange receive 10 cents. We would gather bottles from everywhere. We would ride on the bumpers of cars or trucks to the South end of the fl ea market and work our way back towards Grandma
and Grandpa’s stand. We would look in the trash cans, we would ask people for their bottles when they were fi nished, and of course we had ours that we drank. I guess it was like a scavenger hunt in many ways. We thought we were really doing something. We always had money to make a small purchase if we wanted too, but there was something about working so hard for that money, that made us not want to spend our money on nonsense. When we got older we would earn money watching the stand for grandma and grandpa as they went to look around or visit with their friends. Dad or Grandma gave us money to eat on, but what satisfac-tion it was to have a twenty dollar bill in your hand that you earned 10 cents at a time. Once my brother, Anthony who was about 8 years old, got a dog out of
the stray dog pen, which was a pen that people would put dogs in if they were running loose or didn’t have an owner. The dog was a Red Bone, which was free to him, he fed it and walked around with it on a leach and ended up selling it for twenty dollars. That story is still a family fa-vorite. Eventually, my grandparents ended up buying a house in the town of Rutledge. We usually all spent the night then. Some-times we would all go up to Arbela, MO to a restaurant and devour “All You Can Eat Cat-fi sh”. I have so many memories of
my family at Rutledge. So many things have changed and it isn’t the same place I remember as a child. It’s still fun to go look around, but many of the old timers we knew are gone. As I walk by those broken down stands, in a way, I still expect to see some of our old friends or have them say, “Tell your grandparents and dad, come supper time, to come on up, we have ham and beans on.” Now, others have taken their place, as someday someone will take ours, but the memories are mine to keep forever. That’s Life in the Country.

By Kate McIntyreEven 100-degree temperatures can’t keep many
children from heading outside for day camps, baseball drills, marching band practices and theatre rehearsals. A University of Missouri expert on exercise physiology says being mindful of the heat and humidity is essential to preventing heat illness during children’s summer ac-tivities.
Ball identifi es the several incremental stages of heat illness, which if not dealt with immediately, can lead to medical complications and even death:
Heat cramps, the fi rst sign of heat illness, are invol-untary muscle spasms that can occur during or follow-ing physical exertion and generally result from an elec-trolyte imbalance due to perspiration and excessive loss of salts;
Heat exhaustion is a more serious state of heat ill-ness. Its symptoms can include collapsing; excessive sweating; cold, clammy skin; normal or slightly ele-vated body temperature; paleness; dizziness; weak, yet rapid pulse; shallow breathing; nausea and headache;
Heat stroke, the most advanced stage of heat illness, occurs when the body is unable to cool itself. Symptoms of heat stroke can include cessation of sweating; skin that appears dry and hot; strong, rapid pulse and dif-fi culty breathing.
People with heat cramps and heat exhaustion should drink more water, reduce the level of intensity of their activities and seek shade. Those suffering from heat stroke need immediate medical attention and can be cooled by raising their feet, removing clothing, sub-merging them in cold water or placing wet sheets or ice packs on them.

� PROVEN EXPERIENCE “I am the only candidate for the Office of Sheriff that has any homicide investigation experience.”
� PROVEN LEADERSHIP “I have always believed that the head of any law enforcement agency should wear a uniform and work side-by-side with their officers in all levels of criminal investigation. This is the only way to remain in touch with day to day operations, and identify ways to improve operations. I have done this for the last 20 years as Sheriff and I will continue this every day of my next term.”
� PROVEN FISCAL MANAGEMENT “I am the only candidate for the Office of Sheriff that has ever managed a budgeted Sheriff’s Office and Jail. In 2011 following two vacancies, I reorganized and combined four positions into two. After this restructure and a change in investigative case management, my office saw a 200% increase in burglary arrests, while at the same time saving tax payers approximately $57,000 in two full time salaries.”
� PROVEN DEDICATION “When Re-Elected I will serve the FULL term of office, in which the citizens have placed their trust and expectations in me.”
� PROVEN COMMUNITY LEADER “Our Community Service Program provides offenders with a positive alternative to jail. Through community service work they give back to the community for their crimes. Since I started the program last summer, 70 volunteers have completed over $20,000 worth of labor benefiting every corner of the county.”
� TOUGH ON PROPERTY CRIME
“Macon County’s burglary arrest rate is DOUBLE that of the national average, and during my tenure we have seen a 63% increasein arrests for stealing.”
� TOUGH ON DRUG CRIME
“In 2011, collectively of all law enforcement agencies (state, and local) in the county, arrested 76 persons for violating Missouri’s drug laws; the Macon County Sheriff’s Office made 56.5% of those arrests.”
