They will practice and perform at the Missouri State FFA convention before over 8000 FFA members in Columbia, MO on April 19-20. Ronnie Shipman is the Dexter FFA advisor.

Piano Students Prepare For Contest
The senior private piano students of MaryRuth Boone of Dexter have been preparing this spring for Missouri District Music Contest, and traveled recently to Cape Girardeau for a special step in preparation. The students performed their piano solos for Dr. John Shelton, Professor Emeritus of Music at Southeast Missouri State University. Shelton critiqued each student's performance and offered suggestions and recommendations as they prepare for contest. Shelton taught at Southeast Missouri State University for 36 years, and was Boone's piano professor at the University.  Students participating were (from left) Brooks Probst of Dexter, Lauren White of Poplar Bluff, Colton Becker of Williamsville, Shelton, Joe Foster of Essex, and Malinda Mayor and Leah Noyes of Dexter.

Pinhook Leaders Speak To Legislators

Pinhook Leaders Speak To Legislators

It was just short of a year that the waters started to rise in Southeast Missouri and then the Corps of Engineers blew up the Birds Point Levee.  Debra Tarver and Twan Robinson, of the Village of Pinhook, visited the Missouri State Capitol in Jefferson City to give a presentation to state leaders on how the flooding impacted their lives.  Pinhook, population of 54, was wiped out by the engineered breach of the levee.  Flood waters swallowed their houses and left irreparable damage to all houses and structures.  Once the water subsided and residents were allowed to return, they found their homes looted and some destroyed by fire. Tarver and Robinson shared with legislators their goal to keep the Pinhook community and their terrible loss in the minds of lawmakers.  After ten months without aid, the community is patiently dedicated to seek funding in order to rebuild their village outside of the flood zone and reunite their community. Tarver and Robinson shared a moment with State Rep. Terry Swinger of Caruthersville following their presentation. (Photo submitted)

and all your heart might desire.
