Publisher Linda Sedrick Pearson of PS Publishing (located in Fisk, MO) has unearthed a new treasure in Puxico, Missouri.  The treasure is a new author of children’s books, Betty Buttry.

 Betty’s new book, The Water Pot, was unveiled today at Country Blessings in Puxico. The book is a Christian children’s book and the story is from the point of view of a yellow water pot.

 As Yellow Water Pot discusses the exciting event of an upcoming wedding with five friends (who are also water pots), they find that they are invited to attend! Jesus calls for them specifically to help perform his first miracle – turning water into wine!

 Betty Buttry, the author, started writing for her children and grandchildren. Betty lives in Puxico and has many more stories to tell. She is excited to be able to share her children’s stories with her young readers.

 Betty’s granddaughter, Shannon Buttry Alsup, illustrated The Water Pot while still a young girl in school. Shannon thinks it is wonderful to be able to share this experience with her grandmother.

 The Water Pot is available for purchase from the author, at Country Blessings, and from the publisher, PS Publishing.  For more information, contact PS Publishing, (573-967-3271) or visit the web site at www.pspublishing.com.

Governor Mel Carnahan came to rely on a special young man as both employee and close friend. The young man was Christopher Dale Sifford, who served the Missouri governor as Communications Director, Chief of Staff, and senior aide. Chris Sifford knew his place was by the side of Carnahan when the governor decided to run for the United States Senate. Sifford resigned as Chief of Staff and took on the job of senior aide.
On October 16, 2000, as they rode to a Democratic rally in New Madrid, MO, on a Cessna plane piloted by the governor’s son, Roger “Randy” Carnahan, the plane dropped off radar and crashed just southwest of Hillsboro, MO. They never made it to the Democratic rally in New Madrid that night. Read the biography and story of Chris Sifford, 18 Minutes and a Lifetime, written by Linda Sedrick Pearson.
