More Relay Pictures - PAGE 14 Mound City Mausoleum’s fate up in the air; options to be presented to county court For years, the mausoleum at the entrance to Mount Hope Cemetery in Mound City has been neglected. The need for a new roof and ceiling tiles is desperate. The Holt County Court is looking for options concerning the fate of the mausoleum. Steps are being taken to determine if it would be affordable to move the entombed caskets to plots in the cemetery. This would only occur if the descendants of the entombed or living owners of a crypt agree. “There must be 100% of the parties in agreement in order for the court to even consider this option,” stated the county commissioners. Expenses for this solution would include opening the crypts, removal of the caskets, purchase of underground vaults and purchase of a plot for each of the entombed. The mausoleum would then be demolished and the lot leveled. The area would then be donated to the Mount Hope Cemetery. All of these expenses are estimated to be between $20,000 and $30,000. These expenses would be incurred by the county. The other option is to replace the roof and ceiling tiles, clean the interior and install new doors to the mausoleum. An A-frame roof would be needed to prevent the current problem with the flat roof holding water. An estimate of a metal Aframe roof is $15,000-$16,000. The other expenses would be a new ceiling and bronze doors (or repair the existing doors). The mausoleum should also be inspected and resealed, a maintenance that should be done every 45-50 years. The Mound City Mausoleum was built in 1957 by Terry Noah, a native of New Point, MO. He also built the Oregon, MO, mausoleum and the Maitland, MO, mausoleum in or around 1957. The mausoleums were then deeded to the county. Each mausoleum was left with a small maintenance fund. Only the interest from that fund can be used for maintaining the buildings. Several years ago, the roof on the Oregon mausoleum was replaced with private funds. The Holt County commissioners are searching for the best solution to the dilemma of the Mound City Mausoleum. Whether refurbishing or eliminating the building is the solution, the commissioners will need to find the funds in the county’s budget to take care of the problem. The vaults in the Mound City Mausoleum - Have remained fairly unscathed from the extreme deterioration of the structure’s roof over of the years. Granite and marble are very durable with minimum maintenance if the roof keeps out the elements. Much of the ceiling in the Mound City Mausoleum - Has fallen onto the tiled floors below due to a deteriorated roof, left unattended for years, that has allowed rainwater to damage the ceiling. The marble plates at each burial chamber are unharmed. (LEFT) The Mound City Mausoleum, built in 1957 - Sits majestically at the entrance of Mount Hope Cemetery at Mound City. The granite building has withstood nearly 60 years of weather; however, the deteriorating flat roof has had damaging effects on the inside of the building over the years.

Both are Tiffany Care Centers nursing facilities. Implemented by AHCA/ NCAL in 1996, the National Quality Award Program is centered on the core values and criteria of the Baldrige Performance Excellence Program, which is the foundation of the metric-based AHCA/NCAL Quality Initiative. The program assists providers of long-term and post-acute care services in achieving their performance excellence goals. The program has three levels: Bronze, Silver, and Gold. Providers begin the quality improvement process at the Bronze level, where they develop an organizational profile with essen- tial performance elements such as vision and mission statements and an assessment of customers’ expectations. Bronze applicants must also demonstrate their ability to implement a performance improvement system. Trained examiners review each Bronze application to determine if the center has met the demands of the criteria. As a recipient of the Bronze - Commitment to Quality Award, Tiffany Heights and Oregon Care Center may now move forward in developing approaches and achieving performance levels that meet the criteria required for the Silver Achievement in Quality Award. “I applaud the women and men of Tiffany Heights and Oregon Care Center for their commitment to improve quality care,” said the AHCA/NCAL National Quality Award Board of Overseers Chair, Christine Boldt. “This award is the first step in a program that serves as an essential guide to performance excellence. I encourage both organizations to continue their quality journey.” The awards will be presented during AHCA/NCAL’s 67th Annual Convention and Exposition in Nashville, TN, October 16-19, 2016. some of these events: Natioanl Strawberry Rhubarb Pie Day; Peaches and Cream Day; and Ice Cream Soda Day.

Chamberlain Funeral Home & Monuments 1705 Ridge Drive Mound City, MO 442-5300 MOUND CITY NEWS - THURSDAY, JUNE 9, 2016 - PAGE 3 LOCAL Rumble By The Refuge Margaret Fuhrman Charles H. Milby Margaret Elizabeth (Pilkington) Fuhrman arrived in this world on May 30, 1963, the only child and "princess" to parents, Willodean L. (King) and Omer Pilkington. They lived in Forest City, MO. Margaret graduated from South Holt High School in Oregon, MO, in 1981. On September 10, 2011, Margaret was united in marriage to Chris A. Fuhrman at the Rock Port, MO, United Methodist Church by Pastor Bruce Jeffries. The entire ceremony was lovingly put together by their closest friends who even picked the date deliberately (9-10-11) so Chris could remember - and he always did! The bond between Chris and Margaret was forged almost 20 years ago by a chance meeting at a church auction in Mound City. Margaret passed away Tuesday, May 31, 2016, less than a day after her 53rd birthday. A celebration of life memorial service for Margaret will be held at 2 p.m. on Sunday, June 12, 2016, at the United Methodist Church in Rock Port. The service will be conducted by Reverend Bruce Jeffries. A private family inurnment will be held at a later date at Mt. Hope Cemetery in Mound City. The family will receive friends in the church fellowship hall following the service. Margaret was preceded in death by her parents; Aunt Julia Pilkington; and Uncle Grover Pilkington. Survivors include her husband, Chris, of Rock Port; sister-in-law, Marlene, of Paso Robles, CA; "mom and dad", Janice and Ralph Phelps; and an amazing host of dear friends across several counties. Margaret was always genuinely interested in the people in her communities, both past and present, and attended numerous life events of countless individuals, from birthdays and graduations to funerals, and attended most school functions. She was 'everywhere' checking on folks and their families as well as volunteering tirelessly, while being an exceptional caregiver and loving companion to her husband, Chris. Her unique expressions and smile can be summed up as she was "quite a Margaret". Margaret was a member of the Rock Port United Methodist Church and sang in the chancel choir. She was secretary of the United Methodist Women’s Unit of the Rock Port United Methodist Church. She loved music, both hymns and country, and also expressed herself in baking, a variety of crafts, and applying brilliant combinations of colors in adult coloring books. While the mountain of books in her home attests to her love of reading, and the outpouring of love attests to the dedicated relationships she forged, her priority was always the Lord, in whose care she now resides. Memorials may be directed to the Margaret E. Fuhrman Memorial Fund. Services are under the direction of Minter Funeral Chapel of Rock Port. An online obituary and condolences may be found at www.minterfuneralchapels.com. Charles H. Milby was born on November 30, 1933, in Greene County, KY.

He was a member of Calvary Baptist Church and loved teasing his pastor, joking with his friends, and spending time with his friends and church family. Charles knew Jesus as his personal Lord and Savior and was ready to walk with him. Services are being held on Thursday, June 9, 2016, at 10 a.m. at the Calvary Baptist Church in Normal, IL.

One unique car at the show was a Henry J from the early 1950’s. Henry J. Kaiser set out to make an affordable car for the average buyer, with a goal of not exceeding a selling price of $1,300 ($12,786 in 2016 US dollars). To keep costs low, early Henry Js did not have rear trunk lids; owners had to access the trunk by folding down the rear seat. Another cost-saving measure was to offer the car only as a two-door sedan with fixed rear windows. Also lacking in the basic version were glove compartment, armrests, and passenger-side inside sun visor. Because of low sales, in 1952, Kaiser began selling rebadged Henry Js through Sears and Roebuck, under the nameplate of Allstate. Allstates carried a unique grille, hood ornament, hubcaps, identification badges and interior trim. After two years of disappointing sales, Sears dropped the car. From the FRONT Jeremy Jackson, Mound City, pictured, and his six year-old granddaughter, Ashlyn Jackson - Are the proud owners of this 1971 Chevelle Super Sport. “We bought the car three years ago in Houston, TX,” says Jackson. A total restoration of the ‘71 SS has been a family affair and Ashlyn accompanies her grandpa to most of the car shows. The Jacksons are huge Nebraska Cornhusker fans as everyone could tell.

Craig FFA officers attend LEAD Conference To kick off the summer, the Craig, MO, FFA officers for the 2016-2017 school year attended the Learn-Educate-AdvanceDevelop (LEAD) Conference in Trenton, MO, on Wednesday, June 1. Shortly after arrival, the conference began with an exercise to get to know one another better. After a few speeches and a couple more group exercises, the first session began. The first session consisted of creating a code of conduct and how the officer team would treat certain scenarios that conflict with the rules. A short time was allotted for a break; then on to session two. This session dealt with sending the wrong messages. After an activity, the officers worked together to complete three inaccurate messages about agriculture or FFA and an accurate alternative message along with how they planned on showing the community the accurate message. Session three was all about the Program of Activities (POA). The officers learned new facts about the POA and how to incorporate these into the chapter. Soon after a lunch of either hot dogs or hamburgers, the break-out sessions began. The officer team split up and visited three out of the five sessions. Some things learned in the breakout sessions were event planning, exploring careers, or service leadership. A closing session took place afterwards ending the LEAD Conference.

THE HOLT COUNTY COMMISSION MOUND CITY NEWS - THURSDAY, JUNE 9, 2016 - PAGE 11 YOUTH Theater camp ends with production of “The Apple” The State Theater Arts Council sponsored a two-week theater camp at the State Theater in Mound City from Monday, May 23, through Friday, June 3. “Ten campers came to the theater ready to learn and have a fun time,” said Ginny Smith, Fairfax, MO, the camp director. On Friday, June 3, the theater camp presented the one-act play, “The Apple” by Jimmy Brunelle, for families and friends. The scene opens with the jani.....custodial engineer (Blade Wright of Mound City) making his rounds in the art gallery. As he sweeps the floors, he dreams of being famous someday. As he was about to eat an apple, he was interrupted by an anxious, nerdy young man (Oliver Smith of Fairfax, MO) in a desperate search for a pen. Setting his apple down on a nearby pedestal, the custodial engineer leaves the room to help the young man find a pen. Throughout the hilarious scene, people see “the apple” in all its glory, deeming it a work of art. Each character demonstrates a unique attitude about “the apple,” with the mysterious woman with the pancake spatula (Sophie Richards of Oregon, MO) stealing the show. A rein- carnation of Elvis Presley (Britney Wright of Mound City) and little miss know-it-all with the never-ending talking (Courteney Gordon of Mound City) added to the laughter, both in the audience and on stage. The remainder of the cast complemented the scene with great lines and wonderful acting. After the art galley empties, the custodial engineer returns, unaware that his afternoon snack had created such a fervent scene. Before the closing of the curtain, he picks up his apple, repeats his wish to be famous someday and walks off the stage. Ms. Smith did a great job teaching the campers about the many facets of stage performing. The performers spoke clearly and reacted well to others on stage. The audience could tell this group of campers had a fun time during camp. Other members of the camp were Maddie Dulcan (Oregon), Faith Schwebach (Maitland, MO), Charlie Smith (Fairfax), Lydia Markt (Oregon) and Trisha Murphy (Big Lake, MO). The State Theater Arts Council is looking forward to next year’s camp. Faith Schwebach (Maitland, MO), left, and Courteney Gordon (Mound City), right - Are the first two characters to discover “The Apple” in the one-act play performed by the 10 State Theater Camp participants on the camp’s final day. Hilarious antics entertained the campers’ families and friends as a chance placement of an apple set the scene for the 30 minute play.

Wright’s actions set the play in motion. Petty and Eaton on winning Lions All-Stars’ team On your mark, get set, read!

As a teacher, that was helpful.” Cindy Sons, a preschool director, had been living with constant knee pain and was unable to get up and down with the kids. When it became time for knee replacement surgery, she knew just where to go – SSM Health St. Francis Hospital. “The doctor did a great job explaining things to me,” she says, “And the nurses talked me through what was going to happen, like teachers.” The results were everything Cindy had hoped for. So much so, she recently had her other knee replaced. As she puts it, “I was confident this group of people would take excellent care of me again.” For the full story, visit ssmhealthstfrancis.com to view a short video.
