On June 16, 2012 a La Plata resident moved home to open a small sidewalk eatery in downtown La Plata.

Staci (Ross) Hanton brought her husband and children back from Co-lumbia in order to be close with her family. Af-

BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT“Wifey’s Sidewalk Cafe”

ter returning to La Plata Hanton had a brainstorm of offering local home-made food downtown for the local businesses and community.

The menu consists of everything from burg-ers and fries, tenderloins, philly cheese steaks,

chicken strips, the Mac Burger, appetizers and walking tacos to ice cream and snow cones.

The famous Retro Burg-er is made with Maid-Rite products and the PeeWee Meals are just right for the young ones and they come with a toy.

Wifey’s also offers dai-ly specials with a dessert. The day I went I enjoyed a Pulled Pork sandwich, hand cut fries, a drink and dessert for $6.50. It was delicious and sitting out-

side visiting made for a relaxing lunch hour.

You have the option of sitting outside under the shade tent, take out or de-livery. Hanton says that delivery is available for a minimum order of $10.00 within the La Plata city limits and a $20.00 mini-mum order with a $5.00 delivery charge outside city limits up to 15 miles from La Plata

Recently the La Plata Nursing Home stopped by for lunch, as well as the La

Plata Baseball Team for dinner. Wifey’s appreci-ates their business and looks forward to their re-turn.

So, stop by Wifey’s Sidewalk Café, down-town La Plata, and enjoy just sipping on a soda or an ice tea or enjoy a meal and follow it up with some ice cream, or purchase a T-shirt to support her new business.

Hours for the Café are Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, 11 a.m. to

11:00 p.m., Thursday, Friday and Saturday, 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 a.m. (midnight) and Sunday 4:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.

Be sure and “Like” Wifey’s Sidewalk Cafe on Facebook for a free ice cream cone or take advantage of one of her coupons in this issue for free items.

Hanton says if the chairs are down, we are open!

There’s No Place Like Home….that is a state-ment I believe. Oh how many times have we left the area for reasons of vacation, moving into the bigger cities, college, headed to grandmas for a couple weeks or even just back and forth to work ev-eryday. But, we always at one time or another return home. And to put our bod-ies in that favorite chair, use our own showers or fi nally lying down in our own beds, we just sigh and say to ourselves, “There’s No Place Like Home”.

Home is we hang our hats, share memories with our families and for those of you that actually do move away, when you hit town for Christmas, Labor Day or that summer visit, it’s still home. Doesn’t matter if you’ve gotten married and started your own family somewhere else, this is home.

Sometimes I hear peo-ple say, “na, home is where my parents live”, or “home is where we live now”, and that’s all true for the most part, but your childhood memories will always be in your hometown, as well they should.

I see or hear of people moving back to the com-munity to raise their chil-dren in the small rural schools. Our local school districts are the best there are. Where else can you know the name of ev-ery kid in the school and their siblings and parents, as well as every teacher, cook, bus driver and coach and referee. These schools many not be top notch, but I think you may have a better experience with schooling because of the ratio of hands on with the teachers and other mentors in the district. Not to men-tion, the tri-county confer-ence sports curriculum, every kid plays, every kid makes the team, every kid experiences that feel of adrenaline on the fl oor or fi eld and everyone sup-ports all of them.

I love walking down the street, into the store or into the schools and hearing “Hi Becky” or even that awkwardness of the kids at school saying, “there’s the paper lady”, or “I think that’s Sammie Jo’s mom” as well as Sky-ler and Sara. Don’t hear that much anymore, but its nice to know that I’m rec-ognized and not a threat to the kids at school, lol. I admit sometimes on a bad day I probably am pretty scary looking. Poor kids.

But the feeling of friendliness or the nod of a head when passing by is the greatest feeling of “be-ing home”! I’m thankful to my parents for raising my brother and I in La Plata, am thankful for all of my family, friends, neighbors, co-workers, readers and of course, my little Quin-ci Jo, who will soon be joined by my fi rst grand-son, little Lee!! Sara is due in November and the sup-port and advice given to her is just yet another rea-son “small towns” are the best place to be. Of course I already know every-thing she needs to know, lol, and if’n I don’t I just poker face it, for those of you that don’t play poker, that’s a bluff. My mama always told me, when I asked her something she didn’t have an answer for, which wasn’t very often mind you, that “she’d fi nd the answer when she got around tuit”. She had a pot holder on the stove, bright yellow that said “Round Tuit”. She threw it at me a lot. LoL

Keep It Kool,Bec

A man called John the Baptist spoke truth to the powers that be. He told the King Herod that his marriage to Herodias was against the law because Herodias was married to his brother Philip. Herod put John in prison because he confronted the king for telling the truth. It was embarrassing fi r the king for John to be speaking these things. Now, Herod liked to listen to John even if he was confused by what John spoke.

Telling the truth can be diffi cult. It can be dangerous. It can even be deadly. John ended up being killed because he spoke truth. Jesus hung on the cross because he spoke the truth about the world situation. Speaking the truth can still be diffi cult, dangerous, and deadly today.

The world cannot handle the eternal truths that are recorded in the Bible. The world cannot stand to hear the eternal truths of God spoken.

The truth needs to be spoken. The truth often goes against what the world wants people to hear. The world believes in conditional truth. It tells whatever benefi ts those who are in power and

those who have infl uence in the world.

God asks us to speak the eternal truths found in scripture. The world says the Bible is a collection of myths, fabrications, and untruths. The world claims the Bible contradicts itself so there is no truth there. But the world lifts phrases and verses out of context and twists it to suit their own purposes.

We need to have the courage of John to speak the Truth when God directs us to do so. We can trust God. God keeps the promises he makes. May God grant us that courage.

On Thursday, July 12, 2012 the La Plata Fire Department was awarded a matching grant from the Mis-souri Department of Conservation in the amount of $2227.00.

THANK YOU!! THANK YOU!!The La Plata Fire Department wishes to express sincere thanks to the many people who helped make the “Jerry Thomas Family Fundraiser” such a great success. Becky does not have the space available to list everyone and we wouldn’t try to do that for fear of leaving someone out. Suffice it to say that it was proven again, “What no individual could achieve alone has been accomplished by many working togeth-er.” Even with the lack of cooperation on the part of the weather (one of our hottest days so far), the enthusiasm and generosity of those who braved the heat were evident.

We, the Committee that did the planning, were overwhelmed by the response. With no publicized goal, we had hopes in our minds and all of them were surpassed. Thus far, the total raised is over $30,000.00. Some money continues to “trickle in”, and more is expected. We still have many t-shirts for sale and plan to keep selling them.

You, the public, did “Give Back” and we thank you from the bottoms of our hearts!

On Monday, July 16, 2012 the Atlanta Fire Department was awarded a matching grant from the Missouri Department of Conservation in the amount of $1000.00. During the months of June, July and August, matching funds grant checks for rural fi re departments are being distributed by Missouri Department of Conservation Forestry Division staff.

The total funding for fi re department matching grants this year is $371,101. Fire departments are required to match these funds which are provided by the US Forest Service and the Missouri Department of Conservation. During the last 29 years, nearly $6,6653,794 has been distributed to Rural Fire Departments to help them increase the safety of their fi ghters and provide them with better fi refi ghting equipment. Atlanta used their grant to purchase a 1500 gallon poly tank and a Indian pack.ABOVE: Brad Kunce of the MDC is presenting the grant check to Atlanta Fire Chief, Danny Magers.

ATLANTA FIRE DEPARTMENT RECEIVES MATCHING GRANT

When you’re experi-encing a health care emer-gency, the last thing you want to do is wait. Emer-gency medicine is about three things: compassion, skilled care and speed. Northeast Regional knows the importance of prompt service – especially in the emergency room (ER). “That’s why Northeast is launching a 30-Minute ER Service Pledge – to assure patients that we are dedi-cated not only to offering the best quality care, but also to providing that care as effi ciently and quickly as possible,” said Eric Barber, Northeast Region-al, CEO.

When a patient enters the ER at NRMC the ar-rival time is noted. The 30-Minute ER Service Pledge begins the minute a patient checks in at the ER desk. “Our pledge is that a physician will work dili-gently to initially see each patient within 30 minutes or less of their arrival to begin the evaluation and treatment. When the pa-

Time Is On Your Side At NRMC’s Emergency Roomtient is seen by a physician the time is logged on the patient’s chart, so we can track our performance in keeping our pledge of low ER wait times,” said Bar-ber.

“While the goal of Northeast’s ER pledge is to work diligently to ini-tially see every patient within 30 minutes, the most critical health emer-gencies will always re-ceive top priority,” said Dr. William Christmas, ER Medical Director. “For example, we track our average door-to-EKG times for chest pain pa-tients and we are currently under 4 minutes, well be-low the national average.”

The hospital records and monitors many ER indicators as part of its ongoing quality improve-ment process. “One of the items we track is patient wait times in the ER to determine how effi ciently we triage patients and get them to a physician for ini-tial evaluation and treat-ment,” said Barber. “I’m

pleased to report that the vast majority of patients at Northeast Regional’s ER were already being seen within 30 minutes of their arrival time.”

“We believe this service pledge will distinguish us from other health care providers in the area, and underline our commitment to the people who live and work in Kirksville and the surrounding communi-ties,” Barber said.

“While we are com-mitted to prompt and ap-propriate care for our ER patients, the 30-Minute ER pledge should not be misinterpreted as an effort

to rush patients though the ER,” Barber adds. “Our process improvements fo-cus on getting ER patients into a treatment room as quickly as possible, en-abling our physicians to see a patient and begin di-agnosis and treatment in a timely manner.”
