MO sales tax holiday is this weekend Copyright Ozark County Times Aug. 3 marks the beginning of Missouri’s annual “Back-to-School” Sales Tax Holiday – a time for shoppers in Missouri to save money on computers, clothes and school supplies. By state law, the sales tax holiday begins on the first Friday in August and continues through the following Sunday. This year, the three-day holiday begins at midnight Friday, Aug. 3, and runs through Sunday, Aug. 5. During this time, the state’s 4.225 percent sales tax will not be assessed on certain purchases made in Missouri. Local governments can participate in the tax holiday and increase the savings for shoppers, or opt out of the holiday and maintain local tax revenue during the weekend. Ozark County has opted out. County sales tax will still be collected by Ozark County merchants during the holiday, but state sales tax will not. Out-of-state residents can also save. The key is that the purchase has to be made in Missouri between Aug. 3 and 5. The state sales tax will not be charged on the following items during the holiday: • Clothing that does not have a value of more than $100. Eligible clothing includes footwear and standard items of apparel worn on or about the body. It also includes fabric to make school clothing. It does not include accessories such as watches, jewelry, handbags, handkerchiefs, umbrellas, scarves, ties, headbands and belt buckles. • School supplies, not exceeding $50 per purchase, that are used in a standard classroom for educational purposes. School supplies include textbooks, notebooks, paper, pens, pencils, crayons, art supplies, rulers, book bags, backpacks, handheld calculators, chalk, maps and globes. School supplies do not include CD players, headphones, sporting equipment, portable telephones, copiers or other office equipment. • Personal computers that don’t cost more than $3,500 and computer peripheral devices that don’t exceed $3,500. A per- sonal computer can be a laptop, desktop or tower computer system that consists of a central processing unit, random access memory, a storage drive, display monitor, keyboard and other related devices. Peripheral devices include items such as a disk drive, memory module, CD drive, microphone, modem, motherboard, mouse, speakers, printer, scanner, sound card or video card. Computer software is considered a school supply and is free from sales tax if its value is less than $350. The list of cities, countries and special districts that have chosen not to participate in the holiday is listed on the Missouri Department of Revenue website (dor.mo.gov).

Immediately after grazing or clipping, apply 40 to 80 pounds of nitrogen per acre. Both the rate and timing of nitrogen fertilizer have an important impact on yield. Applying fertilizer earlier than 90 days before the end of the growing season will not significantly increase the yield. (It is OK to apply phosphorus and potassium with the nitrogen. Obtain a soil test for fertilizer recommendations.) 3. Defer grazing stockpiled tall fescue forage until late fall or winter.

Surprise lilies Photo courtesy Janet Taber The Isabella-area home where Robert and Eva Horvath have lived for 23 years is currently adorned with a summertime ribbon of pink surprise lilies – sometimes called “naked ladies” – against a border of driftwood the couple has picked up along area streams. Robert said that several years ago he got a half dozen or so flower bulbs at Walmart – or maybe from a friend at the Ozark Heritage Garden Club, which he and Eva belong to. He has divided the bulbs as they’ve self-propagated and given them a cozy cover of mulch in the wintertime, and now his original half dozen bulbs have become many dozens. “We’re right up against the highway,” Robert said. “We like to enjoy nature and let others enjoy it too as they pass by.”

KEEP Page A4 • OZARK COUNTY TIMES • Wednesday, August 1, 2018 OPINION LETTERS Now is the time to take action for our schools

My family moved to Pontiac in 1953, and we have been in the resort and tourism business here ever since. My wife, Johnna Luna Morgan, and I are both Gainesville graduates, and both of my children attend- ed and graduated from Gainesville. I served on the Gainesville school board off and on for 14 years between 1980 and 1999. During my time on the school board, I worked with five different superintendents, beginning with Benton Breeding and ending with Bryan Silvey. In the early years, when we needed a couple of new classrooms, the building trades class would add them on to the end of the building, usually right out of the budget without any additional increase in taxes. It was great. But that was then, and this is now. Things have changed drastically. Our schools are in desperate need of improvements, additions and increased safety measures. The list is extensive and has been published and talked about for weeks. Dr. Jeff Hyatt, our superintendent, has experi- ence in school-building projects, and I believe he is the right person to head up this project. Now is the time to take action. Next Tuesday we have the opportunity to do what the citizens of our neighboring school districts have done. Vote YES on Proposition Gainesville Bulldogs.

In its eight years of existence, quilts have been one of the most popular attractions for the Ozark County Historium as volunteers endeavor to highlight local quilters and their creations by displaying their colorful works. One of the reasons people are so attracted to quilting is the fact that quilts connect generations. The Historium’s newest display illus- trates that quality, as it features quilts from one family spanning three and four generations of quilters. Jakie Berry of Dora and her daughter, Marguerite Berry Chawansky, of West Jefferson, Ohio, are carrying on traditions handed down to them from Jakie’s mother-in-law, Ella Alms Berry, Ella’s mother, Emma Biers Alms, and from Marguerite’s great-great-aunt, Mary Tetrick. In addition, Jakie Berry’s mother, Marguerite Fowler, passed along her love of quilting to her daughter and granddaughter; Marguerite inherited quilting from both sides of her family! Grandma Ella The quilting journey began for Marguerite when she was only 7 years old and was spending the summer with her grandma, Ella Berry. She learned to sew that summer on a treadle sewing machine, and Grandma Berry made sure she learned to do things right. “My first quilt was a Four-Patch, and Grandma watched me closely,” recalls Marguerite. “The corners of the blocks had to meet perfectly or she would make me take it out. I took out a lot of blocks that summer! But to this day I am a meticulous quilter because Grandma made me do it right.” Today, Marguerite owns her own quilting business, doing custom machine quilting for customers from all across the United States. She has mastered many piecing and quilting Jakie Berry, left, and her daughter, Marguerite Berry Chawansky with a family- techniques, some of them rooted in modern technology. But Marguerite still treasures that photo transfer quilt Marguerite made for her mom. first quilt, the simple four-patch made to her grandmother’s specifications. Jakie didn’t learn to quilt until a few years after her young daughter, when she was about 30 years old. She, too, learned from Grandma Ella. “She had kept on at me to learn to piece a quilt, and I finally gave in,” Jakie remembers. “I told her I wanted to make a Grandmother’s Flower Garden. When I said that, she replied, ‘You would pick a hard one!’” Composed entirely of tiny hexagons and requiring set-in seams, the pattern is usually not a good choice for beginners. But Jakie liked the pattern and plugged along on the quilt for seven years, finally finishing it on her late husband, John’s, birthday. From then on, he was a staunch supporter of his wife’s hobby. The top tells her what it needs Since that Flower Garden beginning, Jakie has made dozens of quilts, many of them appliqued, a technique she loves. She enjoys hand quilting, too, and often has a quilt in a frame at her home. Jakie is also a member of the Dora Quilt Club that meets on Tuesday mornings to quilt together the old-fashioned way – gathered together around a quilt frame. Other members of her club are Marty Uhlmann, Martha Martin, Julie Pippin, Pat Cureton, Mary Johnston and Tamara Griswold. Marguerite prefers the modern way of finishing a quilt; her favorite tool is her Gammill Quilting Machine, made by the well-known company based in West Plains. Each quilt top she works on is unique because the quilting on each one is custom designed, all done “free hand”; Marguerite lets each top tell her what it needs. One of her personal favorites is a large, king-size “stack and whack” quilt featuring a wildlife fabric that she uses as a bed- spread in her home. “The pattern creates a kaleidoscope effect,” she points out. “From only one piece of fabric, you get so many different blocks!” Marguerite’s favorite fabrics are batiks; in fact, she likes batiks so much she even named one of her cats Batik. And she says she prefers making large bed-size quilts – no wall- hangings for this professional. Each quilt has a story Her mother’s quilts are more traditional and old-fashioned. One of Jakie’s favorites is a quilt featuring butterflies made from folded vintage hankies appliqued onto background squares with blanket stitch. As with all of Jakie’s quilts, there is a story that goes with it. “My husband, John, and I had some neighbors many years ago who seemed lonely,” Jakie begins. “John felt sorry for them because they never seemed to go anywhere to visit Marguerite Berry Chawansky’s favorite fabrics are batiks, which she used to make See HISTORIUM QUILTS, Page B3 the quilt she’s holding here. She likes the fabric so much, she even named her cat Batik.

Landowners over the $20,000 maxi- mum will receive $30 per acre for any additional acres enrolled. The seed- ing rates and mixtures the Natural Resources Conservation Service developed for its drought program must be used. Other requirements in the policy still apply. • The cover crop prac- tice only applies to crop- land. Landowners who have not reached their $20,000 maximum will continue to follow current policy, which allows a $30 per acre payment for a one to two species cover crop mix and a $40 per acre payment for mixes with three or more cover crop species. Grazing is allowed under current policy. Cover crop soil health tests prior to plant- ing are still required. To learn more, contact the Soil and Water Conservation District on North Main Street in Gainesville or call 679- 4876. For a list of coun- ties facing severe, extreme and exceptional drought, see the U.S. Drought Monitor map at https:// dnr.mo.gov/drought.htm. Soil and water conser- vation practices are fund- ed by the Parks and Soils Sales Tax. Since voters approved the tax more than 30 years ago, Missouri has prevented more than 185 million tons of soil from eroding, thus improving the state’s water quality and keeping farmland productive. Wednesday, August 1, 2018 • OZARK COUNTY TIMES • Page B3 HISTORIUM QUILTS continued from page B1 folks, and no one ever visited them. So, one day he said, ‘Let’s go see them.’ I made a banana cream pie, and we took it. When that old man saw me carrying in that pie, he got so excited he jumped up and down. It just thrilled them that we had come to see them and had brought a pie! “We visited, and I told them I was making a quilt using some of my mother’s old hankies. Not long after that, the old couple came to visit us, and she was carrying a paper sack. In that sack, she had brought me handkerchiefs, some of hers and some that her sister in Pennsylvania had sent. I used those hankies in my butterfly quilt, and I always think of that old couple when I look at it.” Another favorite is a Double Wedding Ring set together with a beautiful red fabric. Jakie’s mother, the late Marguerite Fowler of Lecompte, Louisianaa, started piecing the quilt using scraps from Jakie’s baby dresses before she passed away at a much-too-early age. Jakie inherited the pieces, but there weren’t enough to finish a quilt. Her mother-in-law, Ella, found a red that just matched and helped Jakie piece more rings to make it come out right. They worked together to set the top together. The quilt is a true family treasure, beautifully spanning generations in one colorful creation.

I also treasure a Nine-Patch made by Grandma Berry’s moth- er, Emma Biers Alms, which is also more than 100 years old.” Another special appliqued quilt in the current Historium exhibit yields another story, that of the time the tables were turned and Jakie was able to teach something about quilting to her mother-in-law, Ella Berry. “By this time, Grandma Ella was living with John and me, and we decided she needed a new sewing machine to replace her old treadle,” smiles Jakie. “So we bought her a brand-new Singer in a beautiful cabinet, and it even had a built-in zig-zag stitch. But Grandma was afraid to use it! So, I taught her to zig-zag by making an appliqued tulip quilt top with her on it.”

The Historium exhibit About two dozen of these showpiece quilts are now on display in the Historium, including these mentioned, and each one is unique and special. And as varied as the tech- niques and fabric choices of the different generations are, the quilts are still somehow connected – by their makers who share a love of turning bits of fabric into beautifully patterned quilts that resonate with personality and charm. These quilts can be viewed during the Historium’s regu- lar hours, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Friday. The exhibition, which will run through Aug. 31, is free and This red Double Wedding Ring quilt was started by open to all.

PUBLIC RELEASE Attachment F

Ozark County Schools announced its revised free and reduced price policy for school children unable to pay the full price of meals served in schools under the National School Lunch Program and the School Breakfast Program.

Local education officials have adopted the following family-size income criteria for determining eligibility:

Children from families whose current income is at or below those shown are eligible for free or reduced price meals. Applications are available at the school office. To apply, fill out a Free and Reduced Price School Meals Family Application and return it to the school. The information provided on the application is confidential and will be used only for the purpose of determining eligibility. Applications may be submitted any time during the school year. A complete application is required as a condition of eligibility. A complete application includes: (1) household income from all sources or Food Stamp/TANF case number, (2) names of all household members, and (3) the signature and last four digits of social security number or indication of no social security number of adult household member signing the application. School officials may verify current income at any time during the school year.

Foster children may be eligible regardless of the income of the household with whom they reside.

If a family member becomes unemployed or if family size changes, the family should contact the school to file a new application. Such changes may make the children of the family eligible for these benefits.

Households will be notified of their children’s eligibility status for free or reduced price meals. If any children were not listed on the eligibility notice for families receiving SNAP, TANF or FDPIR, the household should contact the school to have free meal benefits extended to those children.

If any child(ren) was not listed on the eligibility notice, the household should contact the LEA or school to have free meal benefits extended to that child(ren).

Under the provisions of the policy, the local resident school district will review the applications and determine eligibility. If a parent is dissatisfied with the ruling of the determining official, they may wish to discuss the decision with the hearing official on an informal basis or he/she may make a request either orally or in writing to the school principal. Hearing procedures are outlined in the policy. A complete copy of the policy is on file in each school and in the central office where any interested party may review it.
