Shannon County Minutes City Board Meeting Eminence City Board Meeting Minutes
February 7, 1990 You know the longer I'm around the more I'm inclined to think that every family ought to have an historian -- not a writer as such, although that would help. Though, it wouldn't help in my case because I'm not the kind of careful record keeper to take on the job of keeping track of everybody. It takes a very interested person to do that, one good with names and a memory for dates, and most of all, one who thinks their family is unique and worth keeping track of. Since someone like that doesn't pop up in every generation, what you have to hope for is that there is one person in a family who is willing to take on several generations before and beyond this one, to keep all the straggling relatives rounded up enough to count and brand every year. ...

Food Pantry Winona Public Library By Patsy Blunk Things have been slow at the library lately. We miss all the smiling faces. Maybe, when the weather is warmer, the children will come back again.

Several people are waiting for books to come in so they can read them. Especially serial books. We are extending Free Returns until February 1. No late charges.

Five Secrets Of Highly Optimistic Americans (StatePoint) Do you feel good about where your life is headed or would you like to take greater control over it life? Do optimistic people think or behave differently? A new study recently uncovered the secrets of optimistic people who feel in control of their lives. One key to achieving optimism and lowering stress levels is to find ways to take greater control over your life, say researchers. Sixty-six percent of Americans now say they feel in control of their lives, and their lives are headed in the right direction, according to Lincoln Financial Group's MOOD of America study. So how can you be more like them? Grasp the Future Surprisingly, researchers uncovered several consistent behaviors and attitudes that are strongly associated with feeling in control of one's life -- all of which revolve around not letting money or your job define who you are. Upbeat Americans are driven by a mindset that they can always find ways to solve problems. And they seem to have struck the right balance between finding time for fun things they enjoy and taking the necessary steps to secure their futures. Americans who feel in control of their destinies share a common mindset focused on positive, constructive behaviors every day, said Mark Konen, president of Insurance and Retirement Solutions for Lincoln Financial Group. Simple Steps to Optimism The good news is there are certain behaviors you can adopt to positively impact your life. Consider these top five behaviors of Americans who feel in control of their lives: - They value and cultivate personal relationships. - They volunteer in their communities and give to charity. - They take quiet time to be alone and think. - They exercise and spend time on hobbies. - They adhere to budgets and save for retirement. Not surprisingly, those who said they felt in control have taken concrete steps to build financial security, such as establishing retirement accounts and owning other financial products, including life insurance. They are also more likely to stay within their budgets and save money from every paycheck, regardless of amount. It's Not About Money One of the secrets of optimistic Americans, according to the research, is they are not driven by the desire to be wealthy. Instead, Americans consider financial freedom -- having enough money to do what they want -- to be four to five times more important than being wealthy. The combination of traits that apply to Americans shows these people strike the right balance. They value alone time, but also invest in relationships with friends and family. They enjoy leisure time but make time to sit down with their paperwork and adhere to budgets. More details from the new survey can be found at LincolnFinancial.com/surveys. According to the new research, the key to optimism is adopting a mindset centered on the fact that it's squarely within your power to control your destiny. While you must take steps to build a secure future, it's equally important to take time to enjoy life. Make The Most Of Your Tax Refund (StatePoint) This year, the IRS estimates the average federal tax refund will be about $3,000. That's the largest single chunk of disposable income most taxpayers receive in a year. If you're due to cash in, don't waste it on things you don't need. Make sure you get the biggest refund possible. Good tax preparation software, like TurboTax, can help you achieve this. Put the money toward goals like college, retirement, or eliminating debt. Consider free online services like Mint.com, which help you establish a budget for these goals. Or use desktop software, such as Quicken, to manage this sudden cash flow. Getting a refund is not winning the lottery; it's your income, so invest in your future.

Melissa's faith was strong; she knew she could never fall for the wrong guy. But when she met a charming doctor who was in rehab for alcoholism, their love challenged all she believed to be true about herself. This gripping account is the story of one woman's transformation from caregiver to enabler, and her desperate attempts to control her husband's dysfunctional behavior. Melissa knew that the only way to save her sanity was to extricate herself from the clutches of "the bottle", but she also wanted genuinely to help the one she loved. Was it possible to do both?

News Announcements & Cards of Thanks EHS Alumni News Greetings from the Missouri Capitol. This past week has been very busy here at the Capitol. Committee meetings are being held and many of these bills are making their way to the House floor where things sure will be heating up very soon. This past week I personally presented two very special bills to the House Veterans Committee chaired by Representative David Day. HB 1099 and HB 1100 were heard and passed out of this committee with an unanimous vote. These two bills are now headed to House Rules for the long process that will eventually end up on Governor Jay Nixon's desk for his signature, or at least I hope so. This past week, I had the opportunity to meet with a few constituents from down in the district. I want to encourage all of you to come visit at any time. If you will give me a headsup on your impending visit, I will try to set aside some time to show you around your beautiful Capitol. I love for people to just pop in for a visit. This past week it was so good to visit with Sherilyn Clark and her husband who stopped by for a visit. Sherilyn is the Chief Executive Officer of the Missouri Highlands Health Care facilities down in Ellington. This facility has been a wonderful blessing for many of the people of Reynolds County. We discus-sed several things and she gave me an update on the new remodeling project of their older facility there in Ellington. I also had the opportunity to visit with Dee and Michael McCormack from McCor-mack Telephone there in Ellington. These gentlemen were in town for a Telecommunications Conference and it was so good to visit with my two friends. Economically speaking, McCormack Telephone has been a wonderful asset for the good people of Reynold's County and I am so proud they are a part of the great district that I am so blessed to represent. This week at the Capitol, I will be entertaining some very special guest. The ladies Volleyball Team from Eminence will be visiting the Capitol for a special recognition on the Missouri House floor. These ladies were crowned the Missouri Class 1a State Volleyball Champions and I am so excited about our upcoming visit. Al-so, running sensation, Saga Barzowski from Arcadia Valley High School will be making a visit on Thursday for a very special award from the Missouri House. At least once a week, we have teams that are recognized on the House floor and I am so excited that I get to brag about some very special people from the 152nd district. On the political front, one of our first task that we have been working on here in the House is protecting you, the taxpayers. The taxpayers of Missouri work hard for their money, and the last thing they want their government to do during these tough economic times is waste their hard-earned tax dollars. For this very reason, we have made protecting taxpayers one of the four pillars of our Blueprint for Missouri. This week, the Missouri House moved forward on this important issue by passing two bills, HB 1140 and HB 1135, which protect taxpayers. During these times of budget shortfalls, many states across the nation have tried to plug their budget holes by raising taxes. Here in the House, we have a different philoso-phy. We have consistently worked to protect taxpayers by balancing the budget WITHOUT raising taxes, by providing transparency about how your tax dollars are spent and by reducing regulations. Taxpayers pay the bills of state government, and, without them, we couldn't provide the vital services needed for economic development or educating our children. However, during these difficult times, we must hold ALL levels of government accountable to the taxpayer to ensure that your tax dollars are being used wisely. That is why we are working to increase transparency at the local level and review out of date regulations on the books of our state agencies. An informed citizen is the best way to keep government from growing too large and unmanageable. The problem is, information about local government entities can often be difficult to find. HB 1140 holds local governments accountable by making local information accessible to every taxpayer. Currently, information about state spending is available online at the Missouri Accountability Portal. HB 1140 requires counties and schools to submit their debts and holdings to the Office of Administration for posting on the portal. This gives taxpayers a one stop shop for tracking how their state and local tax dollars are being spent, expanding the information available to them. HB 1135 improves transparency by requiring the review of administration rules. Over time, department rules become outdated or obsolete. By requiring these rules to be reviewed periodically, we can ensure that all agency rules are efficient and effective. Under current law, rules can stay on the books of a state agency indefinitely. HB 1135 also requires all administrative rules to sunset after 10 years. By including the sunset provision, all rules will have to venture through the public comment process periodically, giving citizens a say in how our executive departments run. Now, more than ever, we need to keep government as lean and efficient as possible so we can keep more money where it belongs, in the pockets of taxpayers. By improving transparency and government accountability, you can serve as a watchdog for government waste. As always, it is an honor to serve you in the Missouri House. If you would like to discuss this or any other issue with me, please give me a call at 573-751-2112 or you can email me at paul.fitzwater@-house.mo.gov. You can also write me at Paul Fitzwater, Missouri House of Representatives, 201 West Capitol Ave., Room 115E, Jefferson City, Mo. 65109.

Dear Editor, This is my first time writing a letter to the editor, so I appreciate your time and attention. My family and I moved to West Plains thirty four years ago but I feel I still have a lot of good friends in Eminence. The reason for this letter is to clear up a few misconceptions and rumors concerning my grandparents' farm, jointly owned by my dad and Aunt Geneva. While my dad was still living, Geneva made an offer to buy him out of his share of the farm. He declined the offer. Geneva wrote a check for the amount of the offer anyway, but dad did not cash it. The two did not come to an agreement on the property before my dad's passing. Therefore, it was left to my sister and I to try to resolve this matter. Before dad's death, an offer was made to Geneva to buy her interest in the property for three times the amount per acre than she had offered dad for his share and she would also be allowed to live at the farm for the rest of her life. The offer was refused. We could see no alternative other than a sheriff's sale. Although the sheriff's sale did not occur due to legal issues. An agreement has since been reached. I understand there has been rumors floating around that my siblings and I were trying to take our aunt's property and leave her homeless. This simply is untrue. The latest rumor being spread is that we are trying to take one fourth of the contents in the home. That too is an untruth. Legally, we have rights to one fourth of the contents but are taking nothing. It is true that I told Geneva a few items I would like to have. Initially she agreed but, ultimately changed her mind. The last thing I would like to address is the issue of the property line dividing my grandparents' farm and my dad's farm. Before dad's death, his farm was surveyed to properly mark the property lines in preparation to sell the property. The fence was moved to the property line of dad's farm. Geneva was aware of the survey and that the fence was on dad's property, not the property line all along. Thank you for the opportunity to tell the other side of the story. My hope in writing this letter is to clear up any misconceptions and misinformation that has been presented. Kay Collins West Plains Dear Editor, Eminence Pride Band Heads to San Antonio! The Eminence R-1 high school band, known as "Eminence Pride Band" was invited to attend the Heritage Music Contest in San Antonio Texas at the end of March of this year. It is quite an honor to be asked to participate in this event, as we are such a small town. There will be 31 band students going to show their stuff to the bigger bands that will also be attending. We are the only school from Missouri that was invited to attend. As far as our band students are concerned, "that's a pretty big deal!" Our small town is going to be represented by a very talented group of students. It has been a very good couple of years for the band. They have received several awards. Last year they marched in the Missouri State homecoming parade and won outstanding Drum Major and outstanding Color Guard. They also won 2nd in the class 1A division. They attended the homecoming parade again this year and won outstanding Color Guard and took 1st place in the class 1A, and 3rd place overall out of 5 classes on their Music Score. They have marched in the parade at Bunker, MO twice and received Participation Trophies there. This band has been working very hard and it has paid off in a very big way. Last year they won a Grammy Award! The Eminence R-1 School District received $5,500 from this award. It is a grant program that helps schools financially and rewards all the hard work from the students. We were the only Missouri school to receive this award. That is a great achievement for such a small band. The band will be in San Antonio for four days, March 29-April 1. During this time they will be performing in front of a panel of judges. One of those judges will be giving our band a 30 minute private tutoring session. This would normally cost about $2,000. When they are not performing they will have an opportunity to go sightseeing around San Antonio. Some of their plans include going to the Alamo, IMAX, The Riverwalk, Sea World and the Hard Rock CafŽ. For some of the students this is a once in a lifetime trip. The students have worked very hard to raise funds for this trip, but they still are short of the amount needed for everyone to get to go. They have a few more fundraisers coming up, including selling Little Caesars pizza kits. We ask that you help support these kids in any way you can. Any size donation is greatly appreciated. If you would like to help out, you can send your donation to Eminence Pride Band, c/o Eminence High School, P.O. Box 730, Eminence, MO 65466, or drop it by the High School office.

United Methodist Eminence Methodist We were very pleased to welcome visitors Dan and Teresa Buresh this morning. We hope they enjoyed our worship and will see us again next Sunday. Today's announcements included the Dave Ramsey Financial Peace University class on Tuesday at 6 PM, choir practice on Wednesday at 6 PM, administrative coucil meeting Wednesday at 7 PM and the Cancer Support Group will meet Thursday evening at 6:30 PM. Dave Anderson opened our service by reading a thank you note from Steve Coats for the care package that was sent to him in Tulsa. He is continuing to stay in good spirits and fight the fight. Joys and concerns brought joy from Betty Burrus to have had a great vacation to Florida but was glad to be back home to those grandkids. Gloria Fry was glad to have great- granddaughter, Amara, visiting with her today. Our Redwings made us proud this weekend in the conference tournament. The girls and the JV boys took first place! The varsity boys took a great second place after a close game with Winona! We ask God to lift up the family of Gene Simmerock and the Youngblood family, from the Joplin area, as these families cope with the loss of their loved ones. We also pray that Windy Smith gets great test results this week. Pastor Dave asked the kids today if they liked to go swimming. Do you just jump in or wade in slowly? Sometimes we just ease our way in and that takes us a long time to start having fun. With trusting Jesus we just need to jump in with both feet. Today's scripture came from Daniel 3:14-28 and the message was titled, "Am I All In?" To be an "all in" kind of person you have to throw caution to the wind and give it your all, all the time. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were "all in" with their trust in God. They chose to stand out by now bowing down to Nebuchadnezzar's golden statue that they didn't believe in. Do you have that kind of courage or conviction if you were placed in that moment? We can't live the adventure of a life with Jesus, unless we are "all in."

West Eminence Christian West Eminence Christian It was a blessed day at West Eminence Christian Church. Noel and Ingrid Orchard shared a wilcommen with everyone. We were blessed with having Roger and the Bluegrass worship team lead us again this Sunday. Jeremy Pincosy brought a communion devotion about the different kinds of love. Some kinds of love (in the world's definition) can be destructive. But the love of the Lord, the most perfect and sacrificial love is what we celebrate as we partake of the Lord's Supper. Rachel Martin had a great group of kids for children's church. Bro. Allen shared a message on the theme "Who Do You Believe?" Abraham believed God and it was credited to him as righteousness. That belief led him to leave home and family to go to a place God showed him. It led him to make memorials of God's promise, to sacrificially give his nephew choice of the best land to maintain peace in the family, to give a tithe of all he had, to enter a covenant with God that seemed of no earthly value but he believed God. May we believe God enough to follow His call, to sacrifice for others benefit, to be obedient to God even when another way seems to make more worldly sense. We added several to the prayer list that were ill at home. We congratulate the local Redwing basketball teams on some excellent games this past week (two championships and a runner-up are pretty good). We enjoyed a some great music and fellowship at the 5th Sunday Sing. May God bless your week. Winona Assembly of God Winona Assembly of God Here at the Winona Assembly of God there is a revival going on. Not just the gathering at the church revival but the ongoing revival in the spirit of people. Last week we had 7 souls saved or rededicated to the Lord and 3 baptized in water in the name of The Father, The Son and The Holy Ghost. Since then we have had two more souls rededicated and several new attendees. We are so excited. Pastor Richie Dement is bringing some very anointed messages and you can certainly feel the spirit of the Lord in this place. Our Church group has been praying a long time for this to happen and our prayers have not gone unheard. We are also continuing our youth group with Sister Judi Yardley as the Youth Leader. Today she had 15. We need to continue to lift her up in prayer and also, the mission that God has laid on her heart for these young people. Remembering in prayer the families of our Bro.

Other prayer needs include Courtney Bland, Sue Turner, Denver Ward, Miriam Brewer, Barbara Bressler, Bonnie Russell, Tim Rickett, Tom Bressler, Don Heckel, John Romito, Ron Johnson, Service Men and Women. Part way through the report from the Upton's and Freeman's, they sang "O, How I Love Jesus". For morning worship Pastor Sam, Marlyn, David and Colette Freeman gave a report of their recent Mission Trip to Malawi. David taught a course on Conflict Resolution, with Sam's help, at the Baptist Theological Seminary. The church leaders were very glad to see from Scripture how to live better in their families, their churches and their communities. Marlyn and Colette taught Bible stories and games to youngsters in a Baptist Church Day School for preschoolers and youngsters through the Fourth Grade. The children were very happy to hear the stories and to learn some choruses in English. Then in the afternoons Pastor Sam, Marlyn, David, and Colette went to Mbwinga Village about ten miles out of town to tell Bible stories and do personal witnessing. Fifteen to twenty people prayed to receive Christ. Pray for the people of Malawi as they meet the many challenges of poverty, and pray for the Believers as they lead lost neighbors to Christ. Because He Lives! Winona Christian Church
Eminence Church of God of Prophecy Our message today was started in John 6:1-13:The feeding of the five thousand with five loaves and two fish is the only miracle included in all four of the Gospels. In verse two we see the great multitude followed him, because they saw his miracles which he did on them that were diseased. What do others see in you and in your life? Do they see the life of Jesus in you? Do you have anything in you that would make them want to follow you? The church as we know it today as a whole want to keep Jesus in a box and only bring the box to church before they let Jesus out of the box. We should be sharing him with everyone we meet. In verse 5 Jesus lifted up his eyes and saw a great company come unto Him, He saith unto Philip Whence shall we buy bread that these may eat? Verse 7 Philip said it wasn't sufficient for them. In verse 9 there was a lad who had five barley loaves and two small fishes. In verse 11 Jesus took the loaves and fish and gave thanks and distributed and when they were filled He said to the disciples, "Gather up the fragments that remain that nothing is lost." Those that were there that day saw that Jesus was Lord! 2 Corinthians 9:8: And God is able to make all grace abound toward you that you always having all sufficiency in all things may abound to every good work. God has given you what ever you will need to do what He ask you to do. Daniel 3:17: If it be so our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace and He will deliver us out of thine hand o king. They didn't keep God in a box so when they were thrown in that furnance the king looked in and he saw four men and one was like unto the Son of God.They stood for God and He stood for them in the heat of the battle. May God bless you as you lift Jesus up to all you meet on your journey this week, and I make you this promise, I will see you here, there or in the air.
