moret opened the community celebration season so prominent across
Bates County Saturday with its own
brand of fun for all ages.
It was the “Spring Fling,” and it drew a
large crowd.
As spectators began gathering for the 10
a.m. parade down the town’s main stem, a
resident commented, “Several folks got together, decided it had been a long time between special events here, formed a committee, and came up with the Spring Fling.”
The committee consisted of Sherlyn Hickerson, Norma Ridley, Tina Masters, Daphne
Muller, Jennifer Rizer, Tammy Cameron,
Shellie Wisdom and Tabatha Vunovich.
Grand Marshals of the parade were Tom
and Martha Long. The procession included
military vehicles, fire trucks, a float from
the Amoret Christian Church, decorated bicycles, scooters, four-wheelers, kids leading
dogs and others strolling along waving at the
crowd.
In the park area immediately west of the

Falun Dafa: The practice and the persecution

uring her mid 20’s, Barbara (Phillips) Gay became
disabled permanently and totally with Rheumatoid
Arthritis, Lupus and associated complications for
over 10 years. But her life and health steadily did a complete turnaround when she became a serious practitioner
of Falun Dafa nine years ago.
Falun Dafa...what’s that?
Gay, who with her husband Freddie recently moved to Butler, describes it as a
meditation practice with exercises that are
similar to Taichi or Yoga.
“Falun Dafa” (also known as Falun
Gong) centers on gentle, meditative exercises and a set of three guiding principles:
Barbara Gay
To be True, Good, and Endure,” Gay says.
“These three principles are the cornerstone of human
ethics and morality as well as the source of freedom and
peace. Falun Dafa has enabled me to resume a normal
life—and a healthy one.”
She also emphasized, “Falun Dafa, although spiritual
in nature, is not a religion, nor is it a cult. The main objec-
tive is to make you a better person and I feel that is true in
my case.”
****
Falun Dafa is rooted in traditional Chinese culture and
became widely popular in the 1990s. Fearing its popularity, the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) leader at that
time, Jiang Zemin, ordered that the practice of Falun Dafa
be “eradicated.”
Falun Dafa came under attack in July of 1999 by the
CCP following a government survey that showed that 100
million people (in China alone) were practicing this particular practice, which was more than the entire membership
of the Chinese Community Party. Thus began the brutal
persecution and it continues to this day.
In connection with the widespread uproar touched off
by the CCP’s edict, Gay has become involved in promoting the international art exhibit titled “Uncompromising
Courage” the theme of which champions the cause of Falun Dafa practitioners who have met the persecution with
“Uncompromising Courage” and a spirit of great compas•SEE PAGE 3

Leonard Tourtillott
Our Board of Education will meet Monday night June 15. We
will also meet in special session on June 29 to close out the SY
2008/2009 books and to adopt the budget for the SY 2009/2010.
Summer school is in full swing or maybe I should say “off to a
galloping good start,” that would be more in keeping with the
Wild Wild West theme for this year. I asked the teachers to give
me some material for this week’s article. Here are their responses. John Logue: The kindergarten/first grade students are working on letter recognition, letter sounds, and basic sight words. We
are practicing shapes, colors, patterns, counting, and recognizing
numbers. The class is studying the Wild West by learning about
cowboys, cowboy clothing, and farm animals. The students work
on a craft project each afternoon.
Mrs. Hall: Summer School for our class is so much fun! We
are focusing on fluency for our Reading time! These kids know
the phonics of reading and can chunk very well. So we have been
using our reading time to practice reading and improve our accuracy and speed of reading! I have 2nd and 3rd grade and they
truly love to work on Math on the Smart Board! We have fun
video clips and Wild Wild West activities that we do throughout
our day! I am looking forward to the field trips and outside fun
that we have planned.
Mrs. West: Mrs. West’s 4th Grade class is studying the Santa
Fe Trail along with the Wild West. Every day we write about an
artifact that was used in the 1800’s. They have to guess what it is
and what it would be used for. We have many projects planned
to go along with our theme of the Wild West, including making
butter, making parchment paper, and whipping up a tornado to
name a few.
Jamie Reitz: The 5th, 6th, and 7th graders have been learning
about the Western Expansion, Mountain Men, and the roles and
history of cowboys. We are looking forward to learning more
about the Pony Express and the outlaws and famous people of
the Wild West. The students have been keeping a journal of their
trip west from the point of view of a pioneer, adding to it daily.
We are also going to make many Wild West crafts, including a
sponge branding iron, dream catcher, medicine bag, beads, and
bolo ties. We’re even going to do some cowboy cooking!
Carli Dillon: This year Miami is holding a Summer Credit
Recovery program which allows students to improve their final
grades in the previous semester. This year there are a total of four
students who are involved in the program. They participate five
days a week for five hours a day for twenty days. Each student
has several areas that they are being taught over the month long
program. The program offers Reading, Math, Science, and World
History. At the end of twenty days that they have spent in school,
each will be evaluated on the work they have completed to be
satisfactory or unsatisfactory. We have high hopes that this program will jumpstart their motivation to do well and see the importance of school.
I also asked some of the students for their comments. Here is
what they had to say:
Christopher Dame: We have been multiplying making paper
and having fun. Gage Harper: We’ve read a book called Pioneer
Boy and we are going to make a blank paper and we looked and
figured out what a butter paddle is and a stage coach and we’re
working on multiplication.
Ty Johnston: We learned about stage coach luggage. We got
to see old time stuff. Also we are reading about a life of a pioneer
boy. (I want to add here that Ty signed my note “Your Friend, Ty
Johnson”) Thanks Ty.
Maddy Jones: In summer school we have been reading diary of a pioneer boy and we got to make old time paper. Every
morning we have to use our five senses and describe old time
stuff what we have done so far is a stage coach luggage and butter
paddle. In math we are learning our multiplication.
Becky Cook: We learned about a butter paddle, stage coach
luggage, stage coach rules, and we are reading “Diary of a Pioneer Boy”. We are going to make paper, butter, and adobe.
Ruth Taylor: In summer school we are going to make parch
paper and a tornado and read Diary of a Pioneer Boy.
McKenzie Taylor: In summer school we have been reading
Amoret, Mo.: A Promising New Town in Western Bates County,
Growing Rapidly and Permanently
Amoret is located on the line of the Kansas City,
Nevada and Fort Smith Railroad, sixty miles south
of Kansas City, and is promoted and owned by the
Missouri Coal & Construction Co., which owns 3,000
acres of land surrounding the town, and is also the
promoter and builder of the railroad.
It is remote from any other town, is to be the end of
a division on the railroad and the headquarters of the
coal company. The shops and round house of the railroad are to be located here. There is plenty of good
water and an abundance of cheap fuel, and both the
railroad company and coal company are determined
to make Amoret a great success.
It is upon a solid basis. Inexhaustible quantities of
coal underlie the ground, and the surface is all in the
highest state of cultivation. Every acre is fine farm
land.
The large number of men to be employed by the coal
company and railroad employees, together with the
large agricultural district tributary to Amoret, makes
it a desirable place for all kinds of merchandise and
business enterprises from the start. Its abundance of
cheap fuel and railroad facilities make it a very desirable location for manufactories.
The company intends and expects Amoret to be
the principal town on its line of railroad. A new town
with all these advantages, backed by a company with
ample capital, with such natural facilities and good
rail facilities, is sure to grow and be permanent.
Lots are selling very fast, and a number of business houses, both brick and frame, are now under
way, and many more to follow soon.
If you want a good investment or business location, come... and... look over Amoret, and especially
consider the class of buildings that are going up
here. No new town in the west can show so many fine
structures. The Stratford Inn, built by the company,
is now open, in charge of an experienced hotel man.
It is a model of beauty and comfort, the finest in the
southwest.
The road is now completed from Kansas City to
Amoret, and on January 1 a fine equipment of both
passenger and freight trains will be put on, on schedule time.
The liberal terms of one-third cash, the balance in
one and two years is being offered to purchasers of
lots. Plats can be seen and full information given by
calling or addressing H.M. Gailey, Resident Agent,
Amoret or on Richard Gentry, General Manager of the
Company, M.K. & T Building, Kansas City, Mo.–From
the Amoret Chief, Oct. 3, 1890.

Butler license
office latest to
be up for bid
Jefferson City • As Gov.
Jay Nixon’s effort to improve customer service and
accountability in Missouri
state government continues, interested citizens and
groups will be able to bid on
the management of six more
local vehicle license offices.
“Although a few license
offices are currently run by
civic groups, most license
offices in the past were
given away to people based
solely on their political connections,” Gov. Nixon said.
“Now, any person or group
can bid to operate an office
and they have to tell us in
advance exactly how they
will run the office and how
efficiently they can perform.
This new, nonpartisan scrutiny of license office operations will undoubtedly benefit Missouri citizens.”
The six offices that have
been put up for bid this
week are Brookfield, Butler,
Camdenton, Forsyth, Houston and Montgomery City.
Bidders will have five weeks
(or until July 7) to respond to
bid proposals administered
by the Office of Administration (OA). Teams from
the Missouri Department of
Revenue will evaluate the
bids.

sion and forbearance.
Gay in fact is the local coordinator of this exhibit which
will open June 12 through July 24 at the YWCA of Greater
Kansas City, 1017 N. 6th St., Kansas City, Kan.
“This courage is as incredibly inspiring as the persecution
is outrageous,” Gay said. “The artists are all outstanding in
their fields, all of them being Falun Dafa practitioners (having attained health in both mind and body)—and some of
them have experienced the brutal persecution personally.”
These works show both the cruel persecution of the practitioners of Falun Dafa by the CCP and the working out of
the age-old moral principle that evil will be punished. In
this exhibition viewers will see that when justice, freedom,
respect and human rights are challenged by evil, ordinary
people can become extraordinary, according to Gay.
“I am excited, honored and inspired to be the local coordinator for this exhibit.” Gay said. “Even if I weren’t a practitioner myself, I would be able to recognize the talent of
these artists and appreciate the absolutely positive energy of
these pieces—even though they are only prints of the originals, they convey so much compassion. I would encourage
anyone who appreciates art to view them. I don’t think you
will regret it.”
Gay’s enthusiasm is echoed wherever this exhibition has
traveled, including Chicago, Seattle, Washington D.C., Toronto, Seoul, Sydney, Sacramento, Austin and Geneva. Gay
is also on the lookout for other venues to display this exhibit. She can be reached at 816-806-4724 or barbaragay@

Many reunions in the area
We went out of town again
to visit Jeff ’s Grandpa. We are
still having computer problems so I am at my friends’
house writing my column.
Jack and Violet Gregory
celebrated their 60 year anniversary with their family
at Ryan’s in Belton. Ila (Jack’s
sister) and Richard McMines
also celebrated their anniversary with them. They all got
married the same day. Violet said they had a good time
with all the family. Their pic
was in last weeks paper it was
very nice. I will cut that one
out to keep.
We have been meeting
many from around. We advertised a house in classifieds.
I was surprised so many are
looking for a home around
here. I hope it sales, but some
are having problems getting a
small loan. It makes no since
that it is easier to get a large
loan. Nothing much makes
sense anymore.
I was talking to Nason
Corwine. Unfortunately he
told me his sister Nina Hockett passed away. He told me
she was in the first class to
graduate at Miami. She lived
in Adrian and had recently
been diagnosed with cancer
and it took her fast. My condolences to the family.
Barbra Corwine told me
they had a Corwine family reunion at the Adrian Antique
tractor building and had 56
attend. Nason’s brother Norman and his two daughters
stayed for a week at their
other house. His brother
Norman and daughters also
attended the Gregory family
reunion which I heard was
very large.
Rick and Sandy Corwine
went out and celebrated Sandy’s birthday on Sunday.
Levi Julien broke his arm
when he fell out of a tree. I
am glad he is okay. He still
has his ornery smile. I really
like that silly kid. We had fun
picking him up from preschool this year.
On June 20 starting at
9 a.m. in Butler at an indoor arena there will be a
Saddle fitting Clinic with
Master Saddle Maker David
Genadek. For more information call Kim King 816-8038968.
I hope everyone has a good
week and takes care.

SOCIAL SCENE/PEOPLE
Despite tears, joy triumphs
I
have always been an emotional
person. I laugh easily but cry
at the drop of a hat too. Just
when I thought I couldn’t get any
more emotional, I had kids and
now my emotions have hit new
levels.
Nobody ever told me that my
kids would make me cry all the
time. Not that it would have
changed anything. Tears of joy,
pride, sadness and fear spring up
constantly for me as a parent.
Our daughter Kaelyn’s
first day of summer school was last
week. She’s going to kindergarten
this year and we thought summer
school would help prepare her for
longer days and give her a feel of
what to expect come fall.
Kaelyn went to preschool two
days a week this past year, and
loved every moment of it. She
made lots of friends and came
out of her shell during those nine
months. So I wasn’t worried about
summer school, and neither was
she. We knew some of her friends
from preschool would be there,
and the school is just down the
street from our house.
And then we walked out the
front door that first morning, and
Tisha’s
Topics
Tisha Foley
Kaelyn’s anxieties set in: “What if I
can’t find the bathroom? What if I
can’t go to sleep during rest time?”
And then the question that gripped
my heart and held on tight: “Is it
okay to cry at school?”
That was the precise
moment by eyes filled with tears,
and I cried off and on the rest of
the day. Even when I met her nice
teacher and saw Kaelyn run to join
her friends and I knew without a
doubt that she would be okay, I
cried. I cried back at home when
I did laundry, and in line at Target,
and while making lunch. I cried
so much that my two-year-old son
had a new phrase that day: “Mommy mess.”
Sometimes the tears come at
funny moments, like last week
when I was pushing my son, Joseph, on his tricycle. He seemed to
be on a mission, turning this way
and that way on the sidewalks in
our neighborhood. Finally we ran
out of sidewalk and I asked him
where he was heading now. He
pointed to the sky and said “moon”.
Little boys trying to ride their
trikes to the moon bring tears to
my eyes.
So do little boys who
want their mamas to “yock” them
before bedtime in the “yocking chair”, only they don’t fit in
their mama’s arms as well as they
used to, so their legs are sort of
dangling. But they don’t seem to
mind, as long as their mama is
rocking them, and she can’t resist
when they say “more yock”.
And little girls who bring me
dandelions and pretty leaves and
smooth rocks also make my eyes
well up. And when the same little
girl who just that morning told me
I was the meanest mommy in the
world made me a beautiful picture on her second day of summer
school, I cried a little then too.
It’s tough, this parenting
gig. There’s more tears than I ever
thought possible.
Fortunately there’s also more
laughter and more joy than I ever
thought possible.

Tips to save at the gas pump
SPM Wire • As the temperature rises, so do gas prices.
While motorists can’t change the cost of gas, they can
save money by following a few simple auto care steps.
Here’s how to get maximum fuel economy according
to the experts at the Car Care Council:
• Under-inflated tires can impact fuel economy. When
tires aren’t inflated properly, it’s similar to driving with
the parking brake on and can cost a mile or two per gallon.
• Dirty air filters can waste gas and cause the engine
to lose power. An air filter that is clogged with dirt, dust
and bugs chokes off the air and creates a “rich” mixture,
which is too much gas being burned for the amount of air.
Replacing a clogged air filter can improve gas mileage by
as much as 10 percent, saving about 15 cents per gallon.
• Worn or dirty spark plugs can cause misfiring, wasting fuel. Vehicles can have four, six or eight spark plugs
that fire as many as three million times every 1,000 miles,
resulting in a lot of heat and electrical and chemical erosion. Spark plugs that are replaced per the owner’s manual will lead to a better performing vehicle.
• Vehicle gas caps that are damaged, loose or missing
waste gas. According to the council, about 17 percent of
the vehicles on the road have gas cap problems, causing
147 million gallons of gas to vaporize yearly.

From pasture to consumer
...and all about COOL
H
ave you ever looked at
the produce and meat
products and noticed
on the stickers what country
the products are from? This is
placed on the products so you,
the consumer, can see where
the product originates. It is
called country of Origin Labeling or COOL. Since we are
Beef producers, the information referred to will be about
Beef.
It’s important to understand that COOL is purely a
marketing tool that provides
consumers with information
on the origin of beef products.
It is not a food safety tool. All
beef consumed in the U.S. is
subject to rigorous health and
safety inspections-regardless
of its origin.
Just because you buy a name
brand of beef does not guarantee that the piece of meat came
from the United States. A lot
of beef sold in the U.S. comes
from other countries. It may
be sent to feedlots in the U.S.
and processed in the U.S., but
the genetics of the cattle has a
lot of effect on the outcome of
that specific piece of beef. This
is not a buy U.S. only message, but information to give
you the knowledge of why the
piece of meat you just cooked
is tougher than a boot’. Look
at the label.
COOL has become a favorable tool for the producer as
well as the consumer. It has
been used in helping determine what countries the U.S.
Department of Agriculture allows import from. This helps
insure the products from other
countries are capable of being traced back to their origin.
Also, it helps the U.S.D.A.
with the export of beef products, as well as other products.
People around the globe prefer
U.S. beef and with COOL they
know what they are getting
and where it came from.
COOL helps the export of
U.S. beef products by letting
other countries know, beyond
a doubt, that U.S. Beef producers stand behind the product. Again, COOL is not a food
safety initiative, but pride in
your products. A way to market the beef produced here and
consumed here.
This is a feature being
brought to you by the Bates
County Cattlemen’s Association to give consumers the
information and insight to
understand where your food
products, primarily beef,
comes from and to keep you
‘the consumer’ informed of
the safety of your food and the
production of Beef in Bates
County

Bates County Cattlemen.

Approximately 98 percent of all Missouri dairy farms are family-owned, according to
National Agricultural Statistics Services.
Missouri dairy farming
provides more than milk
Missouri’s dairy farmers provide more than milk.
They bring jobs and economic activity to communities across the state. Missouri
dairies contribute to the local
economy by supporting local
businesses and the community tax base.
Dairy farming is an important contributor to the state’s
overall economy. Each dollar a dairy producer receives
in milk sales generates more
money for the local economy.
• Approximately 1,800
dairy farms provide milk,
cheese, yogurt and other
dairy products to residents of
Missouri, the U.S., and dairy
consumers around the world.
• Approximately 98 percent of all Missouri dairy
farms are family-owned.
• In Missouri, the average
dairy cow will produce 5.2
gallons of milk per day over
the course of a typical year.
That’s more than 1,883 gallons a year.
• Missouri dairy farms
produce 218 million gallons
of milk annually.
• Dairy is the 6th largest
agricultural business in Missouri, generating $234.3 million a year.
• A strong dairy industry benefits the agricultural
economy and the economic
well being of rural Missouri.
Milk doesn’t stay on the
farm — where milk goes,
more jobs are created.
• Dairy farmers purchase
machinery, trucks, fuel, and
more from local companies,
generating jobs and income.
• Dairies create jobs for
people who grow and ship
feed for cows, as well as
for veterinarians, insurance
agents, accountants, bankers,
and others.
• After milk leaves the
farm, it travels by truck to
a dairy plant, where people
process cheese, fluid milk,
ice cream, butter, yogurt, and
other dairy products.
• Truckers, packaging
manufacturers and food marketers complete the cycle by
transporting and marketing
the dairy products everyone
loves. This means jobs in the
transportation, distribution
and retail industries.

une is National Homeownership Month.
In dozens of communities across the nation, “Preserving Homeownership” will
be the theme for events and activities throughout the month of June as communities and
USDA highlight the benefits of homeownership and share information on ways families
can remain successful homeowners during
difficult economic conditions.
Activities will also feature weatherization
and energy efficiency programs available to
rural homeowners; to increase energy efficiency in their home, reduce health and safety
risk and improve accessibility for individuals
with disabilities. In 2008, for example, Rural
Development financed more than $67 million
in repairs for 11,000 rural homeowners. In
Missouri, 456 benefited with repairs to their
homes.
“Even in tough economic times, homeownership remains the foundation by which families and communities lay claim to the American dream,” Vilsack said. “President Obama
has made homeownership a cornerstone of his
economic recovery plan by taking decisive
action to protect the homes of existing owners
and to provide opportunities for all Americans
seeking to buy their first home.”
Mallory K. Taylor of Adrian, MO recently purchased a home with the assistance of
a cooperative effort between David Hill of
Citizens Bank of Amsterdam – Adrian Branch
– and Melody Roach of USDA Rural Development in Butler, MO. Mallory’s ability to
purchase the home has been recognized as a
success story for National Homeownership
Month.
Ms. Taylor utilized a loan from Citizens
Bank of Amsterdam – Adrian Branch – guaranteed by USDA Rural Development to purchase the home. This Guaranteed Loan Program is a no down payment loan with a fixed
interest rate for 30 years. Eligible applicants
are limited to low to moderate income persons. Bates County adjusted income limits
for families of one to four persons are limited
to $73,600 annually.
USDA Rural Development housing programs are helping more people than ever.
USDA provided homeownership loans to
more than 72,000 rural Americans last year –
a record number – and is on track to help more
than 130,000 this year. “Rural Development’s
housing professionals understand the importance of homeownership to rural families and
local economies,” said Agriculture Under
Secretary Dallas Tonsager. “We are committed to bringing the necessary financial and
technical resources to rural America to afford
rural families the opportunity to purchase and
preserve a place they can call home.”
As household income increases and property equity builds, the loan (including part or
all of the assistance received) is repaid.
USDA Rural Development is available to
help you preserve homeownership as well as
assist you with owning your future and reaching the American dream of homeownership!
USDA Rural Development’s mission is to
increase economic opportunity and improve
the quality of life for rural residents. Rural
Development fosters growth in homeownership, finances business development, and supports the creation of critical community and
technology infrastructure. Anyone interested
in obtaining information regarding the Rural
Development rural housing programs or any
other assistance available through USDA Rural Development may visit the homepage at
http://www.rurdev.usda.gov/mo/ or can contact Melody Roach, Rural Development Specialist, at the Butler, Mo. Sub Area Office of
USDA Rural Development at 625 West Nursery St., Box A, Butler, Mo. 64730 or by calling (660) 679-6114 ext. 4.
FSA nominatons start June 15
USDA’s Farm Service Agency in Bates County today announced farmer and rancher candidate nominations begin
June 15 for local Farm Service Agency (FSA) county committees. The nomination period continues through Aug. 3,
2009. Elections take place this fall.
“I encourage all producers to participate in the county
committee election process by nominating candidate by the
August 3 deadline,” said County Executive Director Michael
Finley. ‘We are counting on as much participation as possible, because county committees are an important link between the farm community and the U.S. Department of Agriculture. We have seen a trend in recent years of increased
nominations of minority and women producers and we hope
that will continue.”
To be eligible to serve on an FSA county committee, a person must participate or cooperate in a program administered
by FSA, be eligible to vote in a county committee election
and reside in the local administrative area in which the person
is a candidate.
Producers may also nominate themselves and organizations representing minority and women may also nominate
candidates. To become a nominee, eligible individuals must
sign from FSA-669A. The form and other valuable information about FSA county committee elections are available
online at: www.fsa.usda.gov. Nomination forms for the 2009
election must be postmarked or received in the local USDA
Service Center by close of business on Aug. 3, 2009.
FSA county committee members make decisions on disaster and conservation programs, emergency programs, commodity price support loan programs and other important agricultural issues. Members serve three-year terms. Nationwide,
there are more than 7,800 farmers and ranchers serving on
FSA county committees. Committees consist of three to five
members who are elected by eligible local producers.
FSA will mail ballots to producers beginning Nov. 6. The
voted ballots are due back to the local county office either via
mail or in person by Dec. 7, 2009.
Newly elected committee members and alternates take office Jan. 1, 2010.

committee elections, visit the agency’s website at : http://

Caution: Don’t overwater heat stressed plants
Columbia, Mo. • Landscape plants have flourished over an
ideal spring. Azaleas and hydrangeas have never looked better, but many of the lush leaves that developed during the
mild weather will scorch, turn brown or even fall off when
the summer heat returns, said a University of Missouri Extension horticulturist.
People should take care not to make the problem worse
by over watering, said Chris Starbuck. “We tend to water
plants a lot when we see wilting or scorching, but over watering will drown plants in poorly draining soil,” he said.
In some cases, a plant that loses all of its leaves to scorch
and drought stress is more likely to survive than one with
roots drowning in saturated soil, he said. “The important
thing is that the soil should be kept moist, but not soggy.”
Check soil moisture by digging six inches with a trowel.
If the soil is soggy, do not water, except perhaps to mist the
top to provide a few minutes of relief from high leaf temperature during afternoons.
Two or three gallons applied twice a week will work better than 10 gallons every week or so, Starbuck said.
Dripping the water into the ground is better than applying
it all at once. A leaky five-gallon bucket placed next to the
plants can help them through the transition to hot weather,
he said.

The Bear Backers held their general monthly meeting
on June 2. Mr. Stauffacher talked about a possible school
levy. The fundraiser committee reported that the first annual
Mini-NASCAR race details are being finalized. The Bear
Backers have approximately $8,000.00 in the bank. The
new weights were delivered early last week and are being
used and enjoyed by several school athletes. Coach Jack
Duda reported that as many as 100 kids a day have been using the new facility.
The Bear Backers would like to thank the family of Rolan
Gorham for the memorial contributions in his memory.
The Bear Backers are staying busy at the East Field concession stand. We are serving McBee’s pineapple brats, hot
dogs, hamburgers, nachos, pretzels, pop corn and a large variety of sodas and candy. Come out and support the Bear
Backers.
The Bear Backers will be serving hot dogs at Midwest
Lumber on Saturday, June 13. We will be accepting tips/donations to support the Bear Backers. Thank you to Midwest
Lumber for having us.
Thank you to Dirk Diehl for disking up the football practice field. We will soon be planting the grass seed to get the
field ready for fall practice, weather permitting.
Mark your calendar for Saturday, June 27. This is the day
for the 1st Annual Mini-NASCAR Race. This is a major
“fun”-draiser for the Bear Backers. There are 14 mini “NASCAR’s” ready to race. The go-carts have been purchased

someone to be their driver and a “pit crew”.
The event will be held at the Bates County Fairgrounds

the day for the entire family. Tethered hot air balloon rides
will be $5. Raffle tickets will be sold for a hot air balloon

Need help
for pool
pals program
Kids love to swim, but a lot
fewer are going to have that
chance this summer according
to Kris Jenkins, President of
The Bates County Youth Advocacy Council.
“The donations are just not
coming in like for our Pool
Pass program like we had
hoped,” said Jenkins. “We
knew it would be a tough year
to raise money for the passes,
but not this tough.”
BCYAC each summer tries
to link up donors with children who otherwise would
not be able to afford to go to
the pool. Each of the last two
years they have bought over
60 season passes for Butler
children. This year, the total
stands at 38. “We have over
90 children on our list and it is
breaking our hearts not to be
able to help them have a great
summer of swimming fun,”
added Jenkins.
The program provides
more to kids that just swimming notes Jenkins. “The last
two years when these children
have gone back to school, their
teachers and counselors remarked on how much healthier they were, more physically
fit and their increased level of
confidence.
Season passes cost $60,
but donors can give more or
less. “We accept any amount,
whether it is $5 or $20 or the
whole sixty—or if you want to
sponsor 20 kids, you can bet
we’ll put it to use,” chuckled
Jenkins. If you are interested
in helping send a child to the
pool this summer you can
send a check to: University
of Missouri Extension Office,
BCYAC Pool Pals Program,
1 N. Delaware, Butler, MO
64730
Or you can stop by the office on the southeast corner of
the Courthouse. For more information call Kris Jenkins at
660-679-4167.

Youth honored at church picnic
Christian Church
June 7, We had 53 in attendance. “Happy Birthday”
was acknowledged for Mike
Reed and Victor Sherman. At
80 years old, Vic looks really
wonderful. He had no idea
the family planned a surprise
picnic at Butler City Park. I’m
sure he’ll have a great day.
We had a young preacher,
Joshua Williamson stand in
to serve our morning worship.
He came a long way from Joplin. He did very well.
On Saturday, the 6th, Kirby and our neighbor went to
enjoy the parade. They said
it was very nice, three army
trucks from Butler, Alvin Wiley drove a tractor with a wagon attached with adults and
children. I do not do well in
the sun due to meds that warn
against sunlight. So I stayed
home.
Amoret can be proud of the
efforts and time that was put
into this occasion. The Community Center was set up out
back for hot dogs, hamburgers
and other refreshments.
The dunking tank was at the
Ridgeway’s Place. Bro. David
was the dunkee. He’s a great
sport and all for our children
and the fun he can arrange for
them. There was much to do
through the day. I’m betting
all who attended had lots of
fun.
The 14th, next Sunday is
the church picnic at City Lake.
There are three graduates who
will be honored at this event.
Bring a covered dish and enjoy the day.
There was to be a board
meeting at 6 p.m. tonight at
church.
Dorothy Bitner recited a
special poem for David and
Jennifer Rizer.
William Merle Dudley sang
a beautiful gospel hymn, “In
My Valley.” He did a very nice
job of it. He sure has a lovely
voice.
Dana Gastar told of how she
had a donation of candy to sell
to raise money for Children’s
Mercy and St. Judes. She only
sold $78 worth and needs donations. She asked for prayer
for Ray Gastar, her husband’s
grampa. He is not doing well.
He is at present time at a nursing home recuperating.
Dana had a scare last night,
she went to check on Haley, her
baby daughter and found she
was not breathing. She praises
God that it all turned out o.k.
She had Haley at church this
morning. She’s an adorable
baby and looked fine.
Pray for Lois Wisdom
who fell in the bathtub and
she needs prayer. We do have
a long list of needed prayer
names.
Bro. Dave asked for help
at 4 p.m. for loading the Uhaul. It’s a lot of work. I’m
sure he got a lot of people to
help. They plan to leave for
Kentucky early on Monday
morning.
David’s parents donated
a thank you framed gift and
thanked the congregation for
taking such great care of Jen
and David. It was our pleasure. God bless them both and
Bruiser.
The first Saturday in August is men’s breakfast. It’s at
7 a.m., try to make it and enjoy
good food and fellowship.
We send best wishes to
Cecil Gaston whose birthday
is the 9th, Tuesday. We send
good wishes to Dorothy Gaston and pray she is well.
It was sad today to turn the
corner of our church street
and see a big U-haul setting
outside the Rizer home. Hard
to believe they are leaving,
but we understand what is in
their hearts and future. They
are called to a different place
to teach and make roots. They
know our love and blessings
go with them.
We hope they come to visit
when possible. They will always be welcome.
Remember our service people also check in on a shut-in
and lend a hand.
Buckle up and be safe. Till
next time, God bless you all.
Thursday evening we had
all you can eat chicken at the
Southside Cafe. The best I’ve
eaten in ages. We were guests
of Ron and Linda Brown of
Butler.–Lorrie Johnson.

Hume Yard of the Month
Pam Yarick reports for the month of June that the yard selected is that of Vicki and
Kenny Wood. They reside just south of Hume on V Highway. The yard is always well
kept and colorful and this spring is no exception. The selection committee enjoyed
the flag display in the center of the front yard. Their garden on the north side is progressing very nicely and will provide a bounty now and throughout the summer. If
you are out for a drive it is worth going by to see their yard. Congratulations to Vicki
and Kenny on a beautiful yard.—Submitted.
TOPS News
On June 4 TOPS met and
quickly covered regular business before hearing reports
from the State Recognition
meeting in Springfield. The
leader and weight recorder
attended this event and had
much to say regarding what
they saw and heard. They
enjoyed themselves and it
showed in how they conveyed
their enthusiasm and sense of
inspiration.
A highlight of our continued program was a skit read by
two members to show how a
bad habit can only be replaced
by a good one, not somehow
banished in a vacuum. The
point was delivered in a humorous way and well taken.
The habit program continues
next week.
TOPS is a low cost alternative to many more expensive and involved programs
aimed at weight loss. We meet
at Medicalodge of Butler on
Thursdays, 6:15, in the piano
room. Drop by for a visit.–

OES notables
Congratulations to Mary Zellmer, Art Zellmer and Ann
Taylor for 50 years of dedicated OES service. In recognition, each was presented a pin from the Grand
Chapter of Missouri Order of Eastern Star in a special ceremony on Thursday, May 7. Some highlights
of their many accomplishments were recounted by
Worthy Matron Jerry Wilson: Mary has held an office every year, served as Worthy Matron three times,
District Deputy Grand Matron in 1977 and was the
Chapter Secretary for 17 years. Art has held several
offices in our chapter (including Worthy Patron 15
times!) as well as serving his Masonic Lodge in many
capacities. Ann has held numerous offices, including Worthy Matron of Butler Chapter no. 478 three
times, and was District Deputy Grand Matron in 1966.
She served as Grand Representative of Wyoming in
1992 and 1993 and, since transferred to Crescent Hill
Chapter in 2003, has been our Electa. In addition to
their 50 year pins, the officers of Crescent Hill Chapter no. 127 presented certificates of appreciation and
a floral program to these three devoted members. Art
and Mary’s son David and daughter Debbie assisted
in the pinning as did Ann’s son Tom and daughters
Julie, Sandee and Vickie. Thank you to the family
members, Masonic Lodge members and friends who
came to help Ann, Mary and Art celebrate their 50
years of dedicated service.–Submitted.

Helping children cope
with cancer in the family
StatePoint • One of the
most difficult challenges for
those facing cancer is telling
their children or grandchildren they are sick. Avoiding the conversation can
be harmful. Approaching it
without careful thought can
leave scars that may never
heal.
According to the American Cancer Society, more
than 1.4 million new cancer
cases were diagnosed last
year. One in four had a child
younger than 18.
“A parent’s cancer diagnosis more common
than automobile accidents,
more frequent than abuse
and more widespread than
natural disaster, yet many
struggle to have an open,
honest conversation about
their diagnosis with their
children,” says Kathleen McCue, author of the new book
“Someone I Love Is Sick,”
the first tool of its kind designed to help children ages
two through six cope with
a parent’s or grandparent’s
cancer.
“A severe parental illness can cause children
distress and developmental
problems, but when managed well, the family crisis
can produce resiliency and
strength,” says McCue, who
is donating all proceeds
from her book to The Gathering Place, the cancer support center that spearheaded the book’s development.
Though each child is different and there is no way
to know exactly how a child
will respond, McCue says
parents should keep the following in mind:
• Use the word “cancer:”
Trying to hide the word sets
children up to hear it somewhere else where you can’t
immediately address their
fears.
• Ask what they think
cancer is: Their answer will
help determine what they
already know, any misconceptions they have and how
you should start the conversation.
• Explain what will happen next: It is important
they know that, to get better, you will be going to the
doctor more often or that
you may need an operation.
Let them know that as you
go through treatment, your
mood will change. Some
days you won’t feel sick at
all, but other days you might
be tired, sad or irritable.
• Use child-friendly resources: For young children, enlist in resources like
“Someone I Love is Sick,”
which uses colorful, ageappropriate
illustrations
and simple statements that
focus on the feelings and
realities of cancer situations
in a non-threatening manner. The book’s pages are
unbound, so parents can
arrange pages based on the
stage of the cancer journey
and the family’s specific situation.
• Reinforce that you still
love him or her: This is often a child’s greatest fear because they think the illness
will make their parent love
them less. They also worry
no one will be there to take
care of them. Assure them
you are still their parent and
they are still loved and will
be taken care of.
• Don’t make promises
you may not be able to keep:
Tell the truth, and use caution when making promises. Let children know when
you don’t know something.
• Don’t limit it to one conversation: As time passes,
your child will absorb and
process more information,
which will result in more
questions or a change in attitude.

about cancer or to purchase

•Editorial Comment
F
olks are still talking about the
crushing motor vehicle crash
May 27 just north of town that
claimed the lives of two people. It’s
likely this tragedy will linger in the
minds and conversations of many
for time to come.
As was widely reported, 26-yearold Nicholas Schilling of Belton
was roaring southbound at speeds
in excess of 100 mph while being
pursued by police. Near Passaic he
veered his car into the northbound
lane where it struck a Chevrolet
pickup head-on. Killed were Schilling and the driver of the red truck,
40-year-old Joe Nowlin of Vinita,
Okla. Nowlin’s 14-year-old son was
critically injured.
REPORTEDLY Schilling was
in a fit of rage when he headed this
way following domestic problems at
Belton.
But what about Joe Nowlin?
Allen Edmonds, a reporter with
the Belton Star Herald, writes that
Bowlin and his son were en route to
Ames, Iowa. Young Cayden got to
spend hours alone with his devoted
dad and they were both looking forward to sister, Alyssa’s performance
with her Haileyville, Okla., fifth and
Xpressions
C.A. Moore
sixth grade drama group’s production of “Odyssey of the Mind” in a
world competition in Iowa. Alyssa
played the part of a mythical creature.
FOR JOE, who spent much of
his time working security at a correctional facility in Vinita, it was a
valued opportunity, a family member said.
Described as a devoted father, Joe
Nowlin treasured the time he had
with his children, especially after
spending last summer in Iraq with
his Air National Guard reserve unit.
A decorated Desert Storm veteran, he also served two tours of duty
with Operation Enduring Freedom
in both Iraq and Afghanistan with
some time in Turkey.
According to Edmonds’ report.
Cayden is hospitalized at Children’s
Mercy Hospital in Kansas City
in fair condition. His mother and
grandmother have been at his bedside constantly.
HHH
ANOTHER LOCAL landmark
business building presumably will
be transferred to new ownership
this Saturday. A public auction will
be held at 10 a.m. at the sitethat
for decades was known as the “ice
house.” It is located at the corner
of Lyon and Walnut streets near the
water tower.
In it’s boom days, the plant
manufactured delicious Letton ice
cream, and of course you could pass
through the drive-through and pick
up huge cakes of ice—back in the
days when food was preserved by
the old-fashioned ice boxes.
OWNERS LIKE the late O.J.
Crandall ring out among several
occupants through the years. There
was a stretch of time when Maurice
Williams then Howard and Barbara
Sherman held forth in the food locker business. More recently a book
bindery was headquartered there for
a relatively short period of time.
The building stands vacant with
its future uncertain.
Modern technology not perfect
S
I
Overgrown
...and then some!
t has to be discouraging to property owners
and renter occupants who keep their places
in orderly and attractive shape when the house
next door (or what’s left of it) is in shambles
and the yard overgrown with tall grass and
weeds, some of which are waist high.
True, the abundance of rain this spring has
kept the grass growing, but the wholesale neglect in mowing and trimming of same is a
disgrace, and a festering eyesore for the entire community.
“Why doesn’t the City do something about
this?” is a question widely posed. But arriving at a solution, in some instances, is not always that easy.
A number of these properties have out of
town owners and more often than not it’s
very difficult—yes impossible—to track
them down. Thus their abandoned hovels,
already nothing more than junkers, are further trashed at will by vandals...and the grass/
weeds continue to get out of hand.
Meanwhile, there are other properties that
are occupied yet uncared for. It’s possible
there are some residents who don’t have the
extra money it would take for mowing on a
regular basis. Perhaps some thought might be
given to getting a group together that would
volunteer to mow these yards as a service to
the community. There might be a liability factor to consider, but it wouldn’t hurt to check
it out just the same.
Good question!
The 2009 Legislative Wrap-up notes HB62:
includes a provision to “prohibit the driver of
a motor vehicle under age 21 to text message
while driving. Also, the state preempts the
field in regulating hand held wireless communication devices in motor vehicles.”
In other words, leave cell phones, Ipods,
etc., is your purse, pocket or glove box—
BUT why limit this to those under 21?
Like a bat out of Hades
You may think that killing a cat is “no big deal,” well
think again! On Sunday, June 7 about 6 a.m. on NW
1701 just north of Highway 52W, someone was driving
like a bat out of Hades past our house, again, and killed
our precious family pet. I shudder to think that it might
have been a child, someone mowing alongside the road
or even a visitor to our home. I can’t imagine the agony
of this possibility after what we went through experiencing the death of our precious pet.
There is no speed limit sign on this stretch of pave-
table conditions allowed considerable flying recently, not
without some summer haze
and rain here and there, but, all in all,
encouraging for aviation. We had to
climb above 6200 feet to find smooth
air Friday, on top of the puffy cloud
layer. Summer thermal activity was
definitely present.
Big iron award of the week was
shared by an ex-Air Force T-28A
trainer from Iowa, refueling to slake
the 800-hp engine’s thirst on the way
to an airshow down south. Also in
the day before was a turbine-powered
Air Tractor agplane, heading to Louisiana to hunt aerial application work.
While skies were open here,
he needed Jet-A fuel at Nevada,
where a 500-ceiling and mist prevailed. Other stopovers were an
RV-9A homebuilt, a Beech Bonanza,
a Cessna 172 and a Mooney M-20.
I flew the Cessna 172 to Bartlesville to cover the last-ever National
Biplane show, Roy Conley was out
with his Piper Cherokee 140 and
Doug Osborn flew in with the patrol
Skylane. Gary Paul exercised his
Blue
Yonder
LeRoy Cook
wings in the Cessna Skyhawk, Terry
Boyd flew a Cessna 150 and Will
Cook flew the Skyhawk to Columbia
to attend a friend’s wedding.
After a spring drop, fuel
prices have edged back up somewhat,
to between $4 and $5 a gallon in this
area. I overheard a LearJet captain
haggling with a line service person
over a twenty-cent price differential
last week, and given the dearth of
business he probably got his way.
Fuel is, of course, about one-third of
the cost of operation, but it’s the one
over which we feel we exercise the
greatest control. Insurance, storage,
upkeep and interest are pretty well
fixed, so the direct variable of gojuice is where the pain hits. It’s still
the least of ownership worries.
The tragic loss of an Air
France Airbus A-320 down in the
South Atlantic week before last points
up the fallacy of over-reliance on
technology to keep us safe. One of
the most technically-advanced machines in the world, the A-320 seems
to have been crippled fatally by failures in its electrical network, without
which nothing--controls, flight data,
instruments, engines, lighting--functions.
It’s still a big, black ocean out
there, and the weather is as mean as
it ever was. Few options exist when
you’re going feet wet over long distances.
The brain-teaser for this
week asked, “what was the 1940’s
predecessor of the B-2 Stealth
bomber?” It could be either of the
Northrop Flying Wings, the pistonpowered XB-35 or the jet-engine
XB-49, neither of which got beyond
the flight test stage in the tight-fisted
postwar defense era.
All right, for next time, tell us why
the Vietnam-era helicopter on display
at the Museum last week is called the
“Huey”.
Obesity a weighty concern facing today’s youth
I
t used to be that chubby cheeks on
a child were cute and pinchable.
Now that they are accompanied
by growing waistlines, there’s less
cute and more alarming.
And the facts bear it out: over 30
percent of the youth in the Kansas City
area and nationwide are overweight or
obese.
Children and teens who are overweight and obese don’t just suffer
emotionally, they are also at higher
risk for developing Type 2 diabetes,
certain cancers, high cholesterol and
heart disease. They are also more likely to become overweight or obese as
adults.
The first step in learning how to help
a child who is overweight or obese is
understanding the causes and consequences of the condition. That means
improving your own health literacy,
which is the ability to comprehend and
use information about one’s health.
“There are several links between
poor health literacy and childhood
obesity,” said Marilyn K. TannerBlasiar, MHS, RD, LD, Washington
University School of Medicine in St.
Louis and American Dietetic Association spokesperson.
“There is a misunderstanding of portion sizes, how much a serving is and
what an appropriate amount of food or
drink. People also tend to eat for entertainment, for the taste or because
they are hungry. They don’t seem to
understand that ‘you are what you eat’
and that if you eat poorly you can become ‘sick’ with diabetes, high blood
pressure and heart disease. Add that to
a lack of cooking skills, both parents
and children, and a lack of physical
activity both at school and home and
it’s a recipe for obesity problems.”
The 2003 National Survey of Children’s Health ranked Missouri 34th
in the nation for overweight or obese
children. In the same survey, Iowa
(6th), Nebraska (10th), Oklahoma
(19th), and Kansas (27th) all rated
better than Missouri. Other surrounding states such as Illinois (35th), Arkansas (40th), Tennessee (44th), and
Kentucky (50th) fared worse than
Missouri.
As of last year, 20 percent of Missouri’s youth were considered overweight. For the Kansas City area, that
works out to more than 60,000 overweight minors. That’s nearly enough
to fill Arrowhead Stadium.
“When children have a better
awareness of how their diet impacts
their health, they are better prepared to
make smart food choices,” said Connie Farakhan, Health Literacy program
manager, Kansas City Health Department. “When children are not taught
proper nutrition from an early age,
they tend to make poor diet choices.”
Measuring BMI is one way to determine if a child is overweight or
obese. BMI is a ratio of height and
weight that also takes age and gender
into account. In BMI terms, a person
ment and people drive by at speeds of 60 mph or more.
We have lived at this location for only six months and
have never seen any police vehicle patrol this road. Why
not?
My husband and I watch out for your pets and we
respect all life. We appeal to you to do the same. The
life you save may be your own! Sincerely (Earl and Judy
Pierce) - Judy Pierce.
Inconsiderate driver(s)
To whom it may concern:
I went to Oak Hill Cemetery to decorate my parents’
grave. I found someone had been very inconsiderate enough
to hit the stone (while turning around), moving it about four
inches. This is not the first time it’s happened but thanks to
the sexton we hope it doesn’t happen again. Thanks, Scott.—
Pat Allen, Butler.
with a BMI of 25 to 29 is defined as
overweight. A BMI of 30 or above is
defined as obese, or being 20 percent
or more above his or her ideal weight.
Using BMI is cost-effective and an
easy-to-perform screening tool for
health professionals to identify children at risk for being overweight or
obese.
Some states are looking at Arkansas as an example of how to use BMI
to help curb childhood obesity. Instituted in 2003 by former Governor
Mike Huckabee, this program makes
it mandatory for all schools in the state
to measure and track the BMI of students and inform parents of the results.
Since the program began, the rising
childhood BMI rates in Arkansas have
leveled off.
However, a BMI should not be used
as a definite diagnosis since it does
not measure body fat directly. Instead
it should be used as a screening tool
to identify children at risk for being
overweight or obese. A child with a
high BMI should then be seen by a
physician to perform further tests recommended by the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention such as: Skinfold thickness measurements Evaluations of diet Physical activity Family history Other appropriate health
screenings

‘Education is Our Roots’
theme of RHHS alumni
Bill Perkey receiving plaque from the Rich Hill Alumni
membership for 40-plus years of dedicated service to
the Alumni. Presenter was Alumni president Beverly
Sullins.—Sue Cain photo.
The Rich Hill Alumni
Association held its yearly
alumni banquet on Saturday,
May 23, at 6:30 p.m. Approximately 200 alumni and guests
were present to enjoy the evening. The theme for this year
was “Education Is Our Roots.”
The tables were decorated
in the school colors of red
and blue. In the center of the
tables were decorated white
tree limbs with the theme and
school subject names hanging
on them. Balloons and pencil
favors completed the decorations. Tables were reserved for
the following classes who held
reunions: 1944, 1949, 1953,
1954, 1957, 1959 and 1969.
Beverly Sullins, Alumni
president, acted as this year’s
M.C. After welcoming everyone to the 121st Alumni
Banquet all stood and gave
the Pledge of Allegiance. The
invocation was given and all
enjoyed the buffet meal.
Following the meal the Rich
Hill Drum Line performed for
the group. Performing were
Bryanna Collins, Spencer
Gould, Lexi Nelson, Austin
Perkey, Kierston Pollite and
Andrew Schmitt under the direction of Bryan Lilly.
Roll call of classes started
with one member of the 1936
class. Ray Peterman was our
oldest alumni present and was
presented with a lovely vase of
flowers. The largest class present was the Class of 1959 who
were celebrating their 50th
reunion. They had 31 alumni
members present.
The Class of 2009 was
welcomed to the alumni and
Ryan Brocka gave the Senior
response.
Ron Thompson then presented this year’s Alumni
Scholarship
to
Matthew
Wheatley. His parents Brady
and Marilyn accepted the
award in his absence.
Bill Perkey then presented
a memorial in honor of our departed alumni members.
The next order of business
was to place Bess Shafer’s
name on the Teachers Hall of
Fame. Her name joins those
of Mary Griffin, Ruth Engels and Opal Heatherly. The
alumni voted during the evening to place Dorothy Droz on
the plaque next year and Jon
Ferguson was nominated to
be placed on the ballot to be
voted on next year.
The next presentation was a
plaque presented to Bill Perkey
by the president on behalf of
the alumni members for 40
plus years of dedicated service
to Alumni, fulfilling every job
above and beyond the call of

duty. All joined in a standing
ovation.
Everyone enjoyed an article from the Rich Hill Mining Review dated Feb. 1, 1996
telling about events of 1964
brought by Ray Peterman and
read by the M.C.
The following people were
thanked for their help in making the evening possible: the
Alumni committee, Rich Hill
Cheerleaders and their sponsors and the young men of the
Rich Hill Youth Development
Center. Thanks also to alumni
members Clifford Smith and
Chris Sage for helping the
alumni group by purchasing
meat.
The evening ended by
all standing and singing the
School Song and enjoying ice
cream, and lots more visiting–
by Beverly Sullins.
A delicious meal was enjoyed last Friday evening at
the Ruth Rice Benefit. The
cooks out did themselves.
After the meal, the “Blue’s
Brothers” performed as they
sang and danced, keeping the
audience in stitches. They
even serenaded Margaret
Shepherd. After their performance they assisted Geno
Franklin with the auction.
Everyone enjoyed the evening while having great fun
and fellowship.
I heard the benefit for
Jeannie Hess Gillette was
also well attended on Saturday evening. If you didn’t
get a chance to go to either
one of these benefits, you can
still donate.
Last Saturday evening,
Tim and Flo Jones and their
family lost their home to fire.
There will be a shower for
the family on Sunday, June
14 at 2 p.m. at the Commu-
