The official newspaper of Harrison County, Missouri
Bethany set to close deal
on economic development
Bethany is close to an agreement
on awarding a contract to a company
to provide economic development services to the community within the next
few days.
Rather than hire a full-time economic developer as a city employee,
the city will be taking a new approach
by contracting with a company to assist
the city in economic development.
The city began advertising for
bids from consulting companies last
month with a deadline for submitting
a proposal on March 2. Mayor Patrick
Miller said the city received a total of
three bids on the contract.
Miller said the city plans to approve
a contract with a bidder by the end of
the week.
“I believe strongly we can engage a
firm with multiple existing departments
to serve the many needs of Bethany,”
Miller said in a commentary on the editorial page of this week’s RepublicanClipper.
The city’s Economic Development
Department has been vacant since the
resignation of former economic developer Sabra Hamilton more than a year
ago. The mayor and Board of Aldermen had not made any moves to fill
the position until deciding on the new
approach to economic development.
The economic development firm
will work with the city in recruiting
new businesses and helping existing
businesses in meeting their goals. The
developer also will work with the city
on applying for grants and in promoting community events.
Miller said the developer will specifically help the city with its sidewalk
program and with the informational
campaign on the proposed half-cent
sales tax for street improvements in the
April 7 election.
Miller said the city received an economic boost with the recent opening
of Fargo Assembly of Pennsylvania in
the former Lambert building. He credited the City Hall staff with making it
possible to convince Fargo to locate its
new assembly plant in Bethany. The
city was in competition with Trenton
for the Fargo plant.
Miller believes the consultant
company would provide additional
resources in helping Bethany to compete for new businesses and industries.
Miller was asked whether a contractor, with other clients, would be able to
devote enough time for Bethany’s individual needs.
“We gave them (the contractors) a
list of projects, and they assured us that
they would be able to handle them,”
Miller said.

For Gary McGlothlin, nothing’s
better than stepping out on an icy pond
and dipping a line into the water in the
hopes of catching a mess of fish.
McGlothlin, 52, of Gilman City has
been ice fishing most of his life, and
is so passionate about winter angling
that he has been trying to convince his
friends to take up the sport.
He often takes fellow anglers out to
a frozen lake or pond to show them the
delights of chopping a hole in the ice
and dipping in their line.
“You want to make sure that they
see fish when they go out,” McGlothlin said. “Otherwise they won’t go out
again.”
The Gilman City man was fishing
at a pond on a nephew’s farm northwest of Bethany on a sunny but brisk
day last week. It was probably the last
hurrah for ice fishing this year because
of warmer temperatures that came
through later in the week, making it
dangerous to step out on the ice.
McGlothlin had already taken an
unexpected dip in the pond the previous week when he broke through the
ice and went into the water up to his
waist. Thankfully, he was holding an
axe to pull himself back up on the ice.
“Sometimes you have to be crazy
to go out on the ice,”
McGlothlin said.
He takes the precaution of never going
out without a rope tied
to a pole on the shore.
McGlothlin uses
the axe to cut a hole in
the ice. Last week, the
ice was about a foot
thick in the middle but
thinner on the shore.
As a longtime ice
fisherman, the Gilman
City man observes
that the angle of the
sun in late winter
makes the ice more
dangerous on the
north shore, which
gets the full effect of
the sun. “But that usually is the only way
that I can get out on
the water,” he said.
Winter is too mild in these parts to
consider putting out a fishing hut on
the ice as they do up in Minnesota and
Wisconsin. But McGlothlin said he has
thought about building an ice sled to
take out on the lake.
Amish living in the large community northwest of Bethany have been
The South Harrison Board of Education has instructed its underwriter,
L.J. Hart & Company of St. Louis, to
make $4 million lease certificates of
participation available to local individual and institutional investors. The
certificates are being used to finance
the middle school project.
“We appreciate the vote of confidence we received from local patrons
at the election and want the certificates
to be available to them,” said board
President C.F. Rainey.
These new money lease certificates
were approved by voters in the Nov.
4 special election to be used for site
development, construction, equipping
and furnishing of the middle school
addition.
“Since interest rates are attractive
now and might increase in the future,
the Board of Education wants to lock
in rates as quickly as possible,” said
Superintendent of Schools Dennis
Eastin.
“At the present time, we want all
local investors who are interested in
these certificates to have an opportunity to purchase them, and we want to
alert them in advance of our plans,”
Eastin said.
The school board said in a statement
that it selected the negotiated sale of
certificates in order to capture current
market conditions, to be certain that
local investors and banks receive an
opportunity to purchase the certificates
and because the proposed interest rates
curious when they see McGlothlin out
on the ice.
“I have gotten to know a lot of the
Amish around here,” McGlothlin said.
“They always ask me if I am catching
any fish.”
Last week, he brought up a few blue
gill before the chilly wind drove him
off the ice.
Investors offered lease certificates
for new middle school building

Utility lines will
have to be moved
for middle school
The South Harrison school district’s architects, Ellison & Auxier,
are finalizing blueprints on the
middle school, which will be built
north of the high school building.
The main details remaining are the
heating and cooling system for the
23,500-square-foot building.
Superintendent Dennis Eastin
said overhead power lines and
buried fiber optic cable will have
to be relocated from the building
site before construction can begin.

Tom Schweich a victim of dirty politics
by Phil Conger
Retired U.S. Senator John Danforth represents the type of honorable politician who has unfortunately
become a rarity in today’s gutter
politics.
In the eulogy for his protégé and
longtime friend Tom Schweich, who
died by his own hand following a
vicious whisper campaign by his
opponents, Danforth criticized the
bullying that probably drove Mr.
Schweich to suicide. Danforth, an
ordained minister, conducted the
memorial service for Mr. Schweich
in Clayton, Mo.
Tom Schweich, the Missouri state
auditor who had recently announced
plans to run for governor, was one
of the brightest young stars of the
state’s Republican party. Somewhere
along the line, he made enemies
among the Republican heavyweights
who apparently were attempting to
torpedo his candidacy.
A radio ad hit the airwaves
recently in Kansas City ridiculed
Mr. Schweich’s small stature, saying
that “he could be easily confused as
the deputy sheriff of Mayberry.” He
Farm kids’ talents can aid college studies
I’ll pass along a help-wanted
plea from an MU soybean plant
breeder. He needs students who
grew up on a farm.
He wants young scholars
who’ve seen soybeans grow,
maybe even helped plant and
harvest.
While they may not know it,
young people who work on a farm
have a hot item for their resumes.
Tagging along with parents at
work, they learn skills they can
use. Watching crops and livestock
grow give them an edge. If they
have curiosity to ask questions
and learn skills of farming, they
become needed workers.
High-school—and grade
school— students who should
know this probably won’t read
this column. Grandmas, grandpas,
aunts and uncles should tell ‘em.
I’m passing along a tidbit from
a Friday noon meeting of the
Soybean Research Club at the MU
Life Science Center.
For a bit of background, there
are many seminars given each
week by professors and graduate students on dozens of topics.
These are learning events, outside
the classroom to attract curious
young scholars. (As well as students who better be there, or else.)
This week, Andrew Scaboo,
an energetic young researcher,
gave a talk about soybean breeding for North Missouri. This is
a revived position and program,
thanks to a grant from Missouri
and U.S. soybean growers.
A scientist studying soybean
varieties needs a student crew.
They range from PhD students
to Master’s candidates to undergraduates. The undergraduates
provide muscle to plant and
harvest beans.
Scaboo stopped his introductory remarks to ask: “Are there
any students who have helped
plant soybeans? I get students
who know the DNA of soybeans, but don›t know how to
plant them.” He needs neophyte
farmers.

Unfortunately, kids growing up
on farms learn, directly or indirectly, “There is no place for you
in farming.” Those farm kids go
to college to learn non-ag careers.
The world needs smart people
to learn how to feed a world population that will require twice as
much food by 2050.
That includes farmers. But, also
people who know the power of

are fair based upon current conditions in the municipal bond

According to Hart, the series
2015 certificates are scheduled
to mature from April 15, 2017,
through April 15, 2035 with reoffering yields expected to range
from 0.75% to 3.00%.
L.J. Hart & Company will
be marketing $1.7 million of
the certificates with a premium
anticipated to be $230,894 which
will bring extra funds for the
project. The interest income from
the certificates is exempt from
federal and state income taxes
and the certificates are available
in $5,000 denominations. These
certificates are being sold on a
first come, first served basis. They
are are anticipated to receive an
“A-“ rating from Standard Poor’s.
If interest rates decline in the
future, the district can capture the
full benefit because the certificates
have an optional redemption
provision of April 15, 2020, at no
penalty. The financing proceeds
are expected to be available to the
district by March 25, 2015.

certificates is available at Eastin’s

was also called a “little bug” in what
appeared to be a coordinated campaign that took a personal toll on the
state auditor.
The newly elected Republican
state chairman John Hancock added
fuel to the fire by mistakenly claiming that Schweich was Jewish. It
turns out that Mr. Schweich was a
Protestant by faith who had a Jewish
grandfather, as if that makes any
difference to anyone but the most
bigoted anti-Semite.
Hancock has apologized for his
misrepresentation of Mr. Schweich’s
religion. But Hancock has discredited himself to such an extent that he
should do the honorable thing and
resign from his state party position.
Some political observers believe
that the hate campaign originated
with groups affiliated with anti-tax
campaigner Rex Sinquefield who has
given about $1 million to campaign
of Schweich’s would-be gubernatorial opponent Catherine Hanaway.
Rev. Danforth pointed out in the
service that his friend was oversensitive to the trash talk of his
political enemies and may have been
unprepared for the today’s political environment when well-funded
PACs pay for malicious ads intended
to bring down candidates.
“Politics has gone so hideously
wrong,” Danforth said at the memorial service. “The death of Tom
Schweich is the natural consequence
Our own
views
of what politics has become.”
Tom Schweich had performed
with distinction in bringing about
reforms in the Missouri Auditor’s
office. He had served this state and
country admirably as Denorth’s chief
of staff for the 1999 federal investigation into the siege of the Branch
Davidian compound and his past role
as chief of staff for the U.S. delegation to the United Nations.
His death has robbed the state of
a young politician who could have
brought decency back to government
in Missouri.
Events slow legislative activity
This week was not as active
at the capitol as some so far this
session. On Monday, session
was short as many in the General
Assembly travelled to Fort Leonard Wood to show support for our
military and that facility. As our
Pentagon faces budget cutbacks,
facilities like Fort Leonard Wood,
Rose Crans and others are on the
chopping block. Those installations not only serve to protect our
nation, but also support thousands
of jobs and play a huge role in our
state’s economy, and therefore are
worth preserving.
Tuesday’s session was also a
short one as many travelled to the
St. Louis area to attend State Auditor Tom Schweich’s funeral. At
the service, former Senator John
Danforth gave a moving eulogy.
The remainder of the week
made up for lost time, as the
House passed a series of low
profile bills ranging from insur-

ance to pre-fab home sales tax
to transportation districts. This
big topic we passed was to cap
the non-economic damages in
medical malpractice suits. These
suits are a contributing factor
to the outrageously high cost of
medical care and insurance in our
country. Every big payout is ultimately passed on to us consumers
in the form of higher doctor fees
and insurance rates. The bill we
passed, HB118, will cap noneconomic damages at $350,000.
I love serving my district not
only as a representative, but also
in my day job as a satellite dish
retailer. The last few weekends
have been snowy and icy, so
I have gotten behind on some
jobs.
Hiring economic development
firm will help Bethany grow
by Patrick Miller, mayor of Bethany
When running for the office of mayor, I
committed to the citizens and taxpayers of
Bethany to run a fiscally responsible City
Hall. I believe the city of Bethany’s taxpayers
and businesses deserve to get the most “bang
for their buck,” and as a business owner I
understand just how much the decisions made
by this office and the City Hall can affect a
bottom line. Bethany is a great place to live
and I enjoy serving as mayor in order to ensure
our community is strong and vibrant for the
next generation.
It is my strong belief that the city of
Bethany will have a bright future if we focus
strongly on business environment and economic development in months and years to
come. To my mind, economic development
should not exclusively be about trying to bring
business to Bethany.
It’s equally imperative to focus on making
the strongest possible environment for existing businesses to flourish and even expand.
The more home-grown businesses Bethany
has, the stronger our community will ultimately be.
Giving an opportunity for our existing
businesses to expand is a must in today’s
economy. At the same time we have to have
one eye on our existing businesses we must
have another eye on future business development. This is where a position of economic
development within City Hall is important.
While a traditional economic development
director has served the city well over the past
years, the City Council and I would like to
take things a step further and get even more
for the taxpayer’s dollar.
I proposed to the City Council, and they
agreed, to accept bids for the position of economic developer rather than an employee. I
believe strongly we can engage a firm with
multiple existing departments to serve the
many needs of Bethany.
We need someone to use this position to
look toward business development opportunities, offer specific proposals to make Bethany
the best possible business environment for our
existing businesses, coordinate community
events, strategically move Bethany forward
by proposing ways to streamline government,
promote Bethany not only regionally but
nationally and engage in the multiple levels
of government so we do not end up at a disadvantage thanks to any legislative proposal
in Jefferson City.
This is 2015 and I believe we can make
Bethany stronger by re-tooling our focus
Guest column
and utilizing all the tools in our bag more
efficiently. I believe we can get these multifaceted needs met by engaging a firm by
contract and do it at a significant savings. We
can get more bang for our buck.
One of the most rewarding projects I’ve
had the privilege to work on in my capacity
as mayor was bringing Fargo Assembly to
Bethany.
There is absolutely no question or doubt
in my mind this would have ever happened
without the work of a team here in Bethany.
This day and age, businesses don’t expand
or relocate by accident. It’s highly competitive
and we have much to offer the business world.
The best possible business environment
is the best way to ensure the next generation
can maintain our home of Bethany as their
family’s home too.

Bethany Fire Chief Jacob
Denum clarified information
presented at last week’s Board of
Aldermen meeting about the proposed formation of a Harrison
County Fire Protection District.
Denum said he was asked by
the city to prepare a recommendation for a fee structure for fire
calls received outside the city
limits. The fire department does
not charge when it responds to
calls inside the city where residents pay taxes to support the fire
department.
After the fire chief’s presentation, Mayor Patrick Miller suggested that the city implement
a minimum $1,000 charge for
answering calls outside the city.
That proposal was adopted by
the Board of Aldermen.
A petition is being circulated
to form a fire district to include
areas outside the city which are
not in other neighboring districts.
That fire district would be funded
initially through a 30-cent levy
on $100 assessed valuation. That
tax could be converted after one
year to a half-cent sales tax.
Denum said it is important
to note that the fee structure
approved last week by the city
would be nullified if the fire district is established.

Wellness challenge to start April 4
South Harrison school board
members will receive an update
on the middle school project
during its monthly meeting at 7
p.m. on Thursday, March 12, in
the high school library.

Harrison County Health
Department’s annual wellness
challenges is slated to kick off
April 11 at 1 p.m., with prizes
for points earned throughout the
challenge and overall prizes at
the end of the program.
The Health and Wellness
Coalition met Feb. 25 to discuss
initial planning for this year’s
wellness challenge, which was
given the theme “Soak up a
Healthy Life.”
Like last year’s challenge, this
year’s program will allow teams
or individuals to compete for
prizes donated from local businesses for seven weeks, culminating May 30 with a fun run/
walk and prize announcements.
There will be another planning meeting for the wellness
challenge at noon, March 12.
In other business, the coalition
decided to start up the community garden in April. There will
be a garden cleanup along with
the wellness challenge sign-up
on April 11.
A decision was made to get
plants from Bear Lake then fill in
with other seeds and plants based
on need determined after an
inventory of leftover seeds from
last year has been completed.
There will be a planning meeting for the community garden in
the near future.
Neurologist to begin practice at HCCH
Harrison County Community
Hospital (HCCH) is welcoming
a new consulting neurologist to
its outpatient specialty clinics in
Bethany.
Dr. Aaron Koonce, from Mosaic
Life Care (formerly known as
Heartland Health) in St. Joseph,
will see patients in Bethany every
other Friday beginning March 13.
Neurologists focus on the diagnosis and treatment of brain,
spinal cord and nervous system
diseases. Dr. Koonce specializes in the treatment of migraine
headaches, tremor and movement
disorders, stroke, epilepsy and
multiple sclerosis.
“HCCH has partnered with
Mosaic Life Care to bring specialists to Bethany for many
Dr. Aaron Koonce
years, and we are very pleased to
welcome Dr. Koonce,” said Kelly
Pottorff, the hospital’s CEO.
Route F to be closed for bridge project
The Missouri Department of
Transportation will reroute traffic around Route F, northwest

project. The route will remain
closed through July.
Whitetail Properties Real Estate
The bridge is located west of
the junction with Route W.
MoDOT also reported that
sealing will be underway on I-35
from Bethany to Route A during
the week of March 9-13. Drainage work will be underway on
Route A from Route T to Route B

Outpatient clinics offered at
HCCH by Dr. Koonce and nearly
two dozen other physicians allow
area residents to see specialists in
Bethany rather than driving long
distances to a city hospital, Pottorff added.
Dr. Koonce received his medical degree from the University
of Health Sciences, College of
Osteopathic Medicine, in Kansas
City. He completed his residency
at San Antonio Uniformed Services Health Education Consortium and Wilford Hall Medical
Center at Lackland Air Force Base
in San Antonio, Texas.

New Hampton News
Sunday, Feb. 22, Pastor Paul Zimmerman conducted the first Sunday
Service of Lent at the New Hampton
United Methodist Church. Prayers
for the sick were given. Very winter
like weather and very cold.
Jimmie and Fauneal Smith spent
Feb. 18-22nd in Columbia, Mo.,
where they were blessed to see their
grandson, Austin Ward, become the
first State Wrestling Champion from
South Harrison High School. When
they came out of Mizzou Arena on
Friday night they had to pretty well
skate to their car as everything was
covered with a sheet of ice. It was
followed by snow, but all was pretty
well melted Saturday in time for the
State Wrestling Finals, which were
well attended by SHHS fans. Austin
is a junior and we wish him a repeat
performance next year.
Maria McKinny came up with
Anna and Matt Higley a week ago
Saturday for the birthday party for
Kerrigan Ford. I left her name out
last week.
Travis Smith spent overnight last
Thursday and Friday with his grandparents, Jimmie and Fauneal Smith.
Shirley Gray stopped by for a
visit a week ago Sunday with Doug
Kinnison and Geneva after Sunday
Church services.
Margie Warner had just got out of
her car at the home of Charlie and

We are enjoying some really nice
early spring weather this week. Enjoy, we probably will have a little
more winter yet. I was thinking back
to 1959 yesterday, remembering the
blizzard we had a few days before our
younger daughter was born in March
1959. We got stuck in a snow drift
the night of March 5. Rhonda was
born on the 7th. We didn’t have the
ambulances we have now at that time
and the funeral homes provided service to take patients to the hospital. There were a number of emergency
runs to get people to hospitals during
that big storm.
Have a good week and take care of
yourselves. Keep our ailing and sorrowing friends in your thoughts and
prayers. We are needing rain very
badly and there have been a number
of grass fires in the area, so be careful
and avoid starting any fires.

their wedding anniversaries. For
Larry and Joy their anniversary is

Lucy Baxter, Lorrie and Becky Long,
Rex and Barbara Waller, Liz Carpenter, Linda and Larry Wilcoxson and
Doris and Wallace Lane.
Sounds like these folks who are
living in the South may have been
harder hit than us more northern
folks. Jill Brown, Doris and Wallace
Lane’s granddaughter who attended
college in Alabama says those folks
don’t know how to drive in the snow
and, furthermore, they don’t have the
equipment to handle it. Of course,
there is one very nice thing about it:
because of the warmer climate, the
snow melts very quickly, compared
to the way the snow melts in the
colder climate.
Liz Carpenter made a trip to Des
Moines Saturday to have lunch with
friends and do a little shopping.
P.S. I was amazed when I moved
to Oklahoma that there was no snow
equipment in Tulsa. However, after
they got a big snowstorm, a snow
plow was located. That was a tremendous help.
Have a good week, be kind to each
other, and guess what is just around
the corner? Spring and baseball
season!!!!!

Deaths
Robert L. “Bob”
Chandler
Robert L. “Bob” Chandler,
82, Ridgeway, Mo., passed away
Monday, March 2, 2015 as a
result of a car accident.
He was born September 14,
1932 at home in Harrison County,
Mo., to Clifford D. Chandler and
Lucy (Glen) Chandler.
His mother preceded him in
death shortly after his birth and
he was raised by his stepmother,
Beatrice Fitzgeralds. He graduated high school from Eagleville,
Mo., in 1949 and then was
drafted into the army.
After his time in the military
he returned home and moved
to Kansas City, Mo., where he
met Rosanna Fangman. They
were united in marriage August
3, 1957 at St. Patrick’s Catholic Church. He was employed
at several different places while
they lived in Kansas City including C.R. Specialty gun shop and
a factory, Manhattan Sponging Company. Their three children were born in Kansas City.
He never enjoyed the city and
wanted to come back to the
country. In 1963 they moved to
Brooklyn, Mo. He worked during
the summer at various construction jobs, either road or carpentry construction, but he loved
winter because he spent his time
trapping or hunting. He sold the
furs to pay utilities and hunted to
keep food on the table. We grew
up on wild game but were never
hungry. Sometimes he was even
known to bend the rules a little
because the seasons weren’t long
enough to hold out until spring
when he would get back to construction.
All of us kids were quite young
but still had to work hard. We had
a neighbor who lived about three
miles down the creek from us,
Larry Buzzard. Larry was older
than us kids and really enjoyed
being with Dad. Every weekend
Larry would walk to our house
and help Dad set and run traps.
While at our house, Dad just considered Larry one of his kids and
he had to help cut wood or whatever just like any of us. Larry
became an unofficial adopted
son and when Larry passed away
suddenly not too long ago Dad
said he would have traded his life
if it would have kept Larry from
dying. We all loved Larry.
Dad loved to tell his hunting
stories, most of which we had
heard numerous times, and he
was very knowledgeable about
guns. He would sit for hours and
read reference books about different firearms and retain all the
information. He was more than
glad to help if someone called to
ask him a question or his opinion
on a certain gun. He enjoyed gun
trading and Dad and Mom had a
gun shop for several years. He
was also quite a craftsman and
made several muzzleloaders, put
new stocks on modern rifles, usually with some beautiful piece of
wood, and made several knives.
He also enjoyed shooting these
guns and some of his most prized
possessions were targets that
had groups of five shots that
you could cover with a dime or
smaller.
Another one of his interests
was collecting things. He would
start collecting something and
when his collection got big
enough that it was hard to add
to it, he would sell it. He collected military German Trainers,
going to gun shows looking for
that one he didn’t have yet. After
he sold those he started collecting Griswold cast iron cookware.
He would hit the antique malls
looking for that elusive piece
and when it got almost impossible to find more he had an auction and moved on to collecting
Zippo lighters. The fun was all
in the hunt. No matter what, he
was always collecting. He was
a member of the Bethany VFW
Post 2176 and The Northwest
Missouri Gun Club.
Bob was preceded in death by
his parents and stepmother.
In addition to his wife of 57
years, he is survived by son
Robert “Bobby” (Mari) Blythedale, Mo.; two daughters, Linda
(Mark) deHaas, Brooklyn, Mo.,
Cherie (Bob) Chandler-Newell,
Belton, Mo.; three grandsons,
Bradley Chandler, Donnie Hicks,
and Shane deHaas and several
great grandchildren.
Funeral services were Saturday, March 7, at Roberson
Funeral Home, Bethany, Mo.
Burial with military rites will
follow in Allen Cemetery Eagleville, Mo. Memorials may be
made to the Alzheimer’s Association and/or Allen Cemetery
in care of Roberson Funeral
Home, P.O. box 46, Bethany, MO
64424.

February set new temperature
records across Missouri
Missourians who dressed in
layers, wool hats and warm mittens will not be surprised to learn
that February set low-temperature
records.
“Preliminary data indicates
that February was about 8 to 9
degrees below normal,” said Pat
Guinan, climatologist for University of Missouri Extension’s
Commercial Agriculture Program.
It will depend on the final numbers, but last month could rank as
Missouri’s 11th-coldest February
on record, and we have records in
Missouri that go back 120 years,
Guinan said.
“It looked like it was going to
be a warmer than normal winter,
but that went out the window
when Arctic air dipped down into
the central U.S.,” Guinan said.
December was fairly mild
and January was slightly above
normal, but when you get a
month like February, which was
8 degrees below normal, that’s a
game changer, he said.
It was bitterly cold in parts of
Missouri that are usually spared
severe low temperatures.
“When you see subzero temperatures in southeastern parts,
especially around the Bootheel,
that’s unusual, and that happened
in February and early March,”
Guinan said.
Cape Girardeau dropped
double digits below zero with
minus 11, minus 7 and minus 14
degrees on Feb. 17, 18 and 19,
respectively, Guinan said. Cape
Girardeau also established an alltime record low for the month of
March when the mercury dipped
to minus 8 degrees the morning
of March 6.
“That’s nothing short of amazing,” Guinan said.
On the precipitation side, snow
fell in places that usually don’t
get snow.
“There are some locations
across southeast Missouri that
picked up nearly 2 feet of snow
this winter, and that’s a lot of
snow for that part of the state,”
Guinan said.
The state as a whole saw quite a
bit of snow, he said. Most locations picked up at least 6 inches
in February. Parts of northern and
southeastern Missouri saw 15-20
inches of snow.
Moving ahead to spring, the
outlook is a coin toss. Guinan
says the National Weather Service’s Climate Prediction Center
indicates equal chances of above-,
below- or near-normal temperature and precipitation.
There’s a reason that Missouri
has the adage, “Don’t like the
weather? Wait a few minutes and
it will change.”
“You can get these weather patterns that can go from one extreme
to another, be it precipitation or be
it temperature, and it can happen
very abruptly and very quickly,”
Guinan said.

Extension horticulturist
Sometimes I will receive a
call in mid-summer from a homeowner who describes a problem
on their fruit trees, and then
asks, “What can I spray for it?”
While I am always happy to
give them an answer, it is often
too late. The disease or insect
is well-established by that time,
and the homeowner should have
been spraying long before they
called me, if they wanted to have
a good crop.
For the best quality fruit crop,
you need to start spraying in the
next few weeks. Then you need
to keep spraying periodically,
throughout the season.
Now this may sound strange,
Dormant Oil Sprays for Fruit Trees
since fruit trees don’t have a leaf
on them yet. You may ask, “What
is there to spray now?” But while
it may seem odd to be spraying a
bare tree, conscientious orchard
growers know that they need to
start their spray program during
the dormant season, if they want
high quality fruit.
The first sprays of the season
are called dormant oil sprays, and
are applied in late winter or early
spring, before the trees leaf out.
The purpose of a dormant spray is
to kill pests such as scale insects.
Dormant sprays also help control
aphids and mites to some degree.
They can be used on fruit trees
as well as many other deciduous
trees and shrubs.
Sometimes referred to as “hor-
ticultural oils,” dormant sprays
consist of highly refined petroleum oils combined with an emulsifying agent. To use them, mix
horticultural oils with water and
spray them on your tree.
These oils work by physically
blocking the air holes through
which the insects breathe. With
no access to oxygen, the insects
suffocate and die. This works
particularly well for scale insect
adults, but can also help control
other insects in the larvae and
egg stage.
Agricultural sprays vary
greatly in their risks to people.
Fortunately, horticultural oils
are among the safest to use,
when applied properly. They are
also relatively safe for the environment, eventually dissipating
through evaporation.
When you apply dormant oils,
keep in mind that they do need to
make good physical contact with
the pest you are trying to control.
Thus, you should make sure that
you cover the tree or shrub well.
One precaution should be
noted. Dormant oils should not
be sprayed when temperatures are
freezing. Freezing temperatures
can cause the emulsion to break
down which leads to uneven coverage. It’s best to wait until temperatures are at least in the 40’s
before spraying horticultural oils.
If you are growing fruit trees,
there are a few other sprays that
are applied very early in the
season. One example is Bordeaux
mixture, which is used in apple
trees to control fire blight. Peach
trees need to be sprayed with
materials to control peach leaf
curl. Grapes need to be sprayed
before bud swell to control a
number of diseases.
For good quality fruit, you
need to start spraying early, and
so if you are growing fruit, I
would encourage you to contact
your local University of Missouri
Extension Center and ask for
guide sheet G6010, “Fruit Spray
Schedules for the Homeowner.”

Missouri unemployment program
would have more requirements
Missouri Digital News
Missouri welfare programs
that distribute temporary unemployment benefits would have
new requirements if legislation is
passed by the House.
The House Children and Families Committee heard four different bills each pertaining to the
state’s welfare program and different aspects of the Temporary
Assistance to Needy Families
(TANF) program and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).
The bills would allow benefits
for food-stamp recipients without
dependents to expire and prohibit
the use of an electronic benefit
transfer card at an ATM.
Rep. Diane Franklin, R-Camdenton, sponsored one of the bills
that would decrease the lifetime
limit that a person is eligible to
receive temporary assistance
from five years to two years.
“The state is not the end all
to helping people move from a
point where they need a helping
hand to being in the workforce,”
Franklin said. “We can only provide so many dollars and so much
time and so much face-to-face.”
One of the bills that the committee heard has already been
passed by the Senate.
This bill would require the
Department of Social Services
to conduct an investigation in
order to determine if a person
within a household that is receiving TANF benefits is cooperating
with the work requirement.
Under the bill the person
would have to be actively search-

ing for work or participating in
certain work activities.
The bill would also establish
an orientation, conducted by
Department of Social Services,
in order to inform families of
the program’s benefits and new
requirements.
“My objective is to have
a program that is efficient,
encourages people back to work
and makes people self sufficient
and not dependent on the federal
government,” said David Sater,
R-Cassville, who sponsored the
bill. “This is a temporary assistance to needy families, not a
permanent assistance to needy
families. We want them on their
own.”
Those who testified in opposition of the bills at the committee hearing said they were
concerned about the effect these
bills would have on the children

An Exit Action Plan: Guidelines for Leaving an Abusive Relationship
Published as a Public Service
by the Bethany
Republican-Clipper
March 2015
Improve Your Chances of leaving safely by:
Let a trusted family member, friend, coworker or neighbors know your situation. Develop a plan for when you need help;
code words you can text if in trouble, a visual signal like a porch light: on equals no danger, off equals trouble.
If you are injured, go to a doctor or an emergency room and report what happened to you. Ask that they document your visit.
Keep a journal of all violent incidences, noting dates, events and threats made.
Keep any evidence of physical abuse, such as pictures.
Plan with your children and identify a safe place for them. Reassure them that their job is to stay safe, not to protect you.
If you need to sneak away, be prepared. Make a plan for how and where you will escape.
Back your car into the driveway, and keep it fueled. Keep your driver's door unlocked and other doors locked for a quick escape.
Hide an extra set of car keys.
Set money aside. Ask friends or family members to hold money for you.
Pack a bag. Include an extra set of keys, IDs, car title, birth certificates, social security cards, credit cards, marriage license, clothes for yourself and your children,
shoes, medications, banking information, money "anything that is important to you". Store them at a trusted friend or neighbor's house. Try to avoid using the
homes of next-door neighbors, close family members and mutual friends.
Take important phone numbers of friends, relatives, doctors, schools, etc.
Take important Documents to Take With You: Birth Certificates, Social Security Cards, Medications, Immunization Records, Medical Records, Citizenship documents
(Passport or green card), Valued pictures, jewelry or personal possessions, Account numbers, Bank Information

South Harrison’s basketball
team, with only one senior starter,
struggled through the 2014-15
season, finishing with three wins
and 23 losses.
But, still, there are reasons for
optimism about the future with a
strong nucleus of younger players, including seven freshmen,
returning next season.
“I expect to see a lot of
improvement from our freshman core over the course of the
summer,” said first-year Bulldog
Coach Kale Watson. “We will
rely heavily upon them to fill
some vacant spots on our starting
line-up and on our bench.”
Senior Darin Williams, who
scored more than 1,000 points
in his career, carried the load for
his team during the past season.
South Harrison showed some
improvement late in the season,
scoring a pair of victories in
conference games and finishing
ahead of Polo and Worth County.
“As a team we started to really
embrace playing man-to-man
and doing so against some of
the tougher teams in the GRC,”
Watson said.
Freshman Treyton Campbell,
junior Chris Spence and sophomore Tanner Daugherty stepped
up to help the team as the season
progressed.
“I also was very impressed
with Stan Blake’s ability to take
over our point guard position
with confidence and poise as he
became a much better ball handler and passer in our last five
games,” the Bulldog coach said.
“I look for Treyton Campbell
to have a break-out sophomore
season and really take over some
of our scoring load on the perimeter,” Watson said.
Watson also looks for younger
players Grant Taylor, Ransom
Cannon and Kinser Corbett, all
freshmen, to work their way into
starting spots. He also looks for
a solid group of eighth graders
moving up varsity to provide the
team more depth next year.

Dear fellow gardeners:
Today looks like spring. We
still have some snow on the
ground, but days like today will
soon get rid of it.
March is the month we all
think about getting ready to
garden. Some may have already
started.
March 9 and 10 are good days
for starting seeds and planting
above-ground crops and root
crops that can be planted early.
March 14 and 15 are also good
days for planting above-ground
and root crops.
March 26-28 are the best days
for planting above-ground and

root crops, as well as starting
seed beds.
This area is in Zone 5 so be
careful planting vegetables or
flowers outside before the last
frost date, which is May 10.
If you had any seeds left from
last year, they are probably still
good for this year. Seeds like
corn, beans and squash are good
for two years and seeds of lettuce, leeks and grass are good
for five years. Also, other small
seeds may still be good.
The flower for the month
of March is the daffodil or jonquil. They come in the colors
of yellow, white or orange. The
meanings of daffodil are friendship and domestic happiness.
The birthstone for March is
aquamarine.
The March bird is the robin.
I saw several robins about
a month ago and have not seen
any since. Since the weather is
warmed up they will be showing
up again so will the bluebirds.
Bluebird houses should be
cleaned and up ready for their
arrival.

Administrators map
expanded Grand
River Conference
The new Grand River Conference will be aligned into two
8-school divisions as part of a
plan adopted unanimously by
GRC administrators during a
meeting in Gallatin.
South Harrison will be part of
the Eastern Division composed
of larger schools playing 11-man
football.
The realignment, which takes
place in the 2016-17 season,
resulted from the expansion of
the Grand River Conference to
16 schools. The new conference
members will be Trenton, Milan,
Putnam County, Pattonsburg,
St. Joseph Christian and North
Andrew.
South Harrison Superintendent Dennis Eastin, who participated in the meeting, said he
believes that the new alignment
will be good for the future of the
area schools.
“I think it was a step to give
stability to the conference,” he
said. “If you aren’t moving forward, you are stagnant.”
The new divisions are as
follow:
Eastern
Division—South
Harrison, Princeton, Polo, Gallatin, Trenton, Milan, Putnam
County and Maysville.
Western Division—Braymer,
King City, Stanberry, Albany,
Worth County, Pattonsburg,
St. Joseph Christian and North
Andrew.
Braymer and King City, which
currently play 11-man football,
are expected to convert to 8-man
football at the conclusion of
the next season. As a result, all
schools in the Western Division
would play under the smaller
team format.
Prairie chicken population suffering
a sharp decline at Dunn Ranch
The introduction of the prairie
chickens at Dunn Ranch has suffered a setback in the past few
years, Harrison County conservation agent Josh Roller says.
Only 16 to 17 of the endangered bird species were counted
during a recent survey, Roller
told the Bethany Rotary Club at
its meeting last Thursday at the
Bethany Community Center.
“At the highest peak,” he said,
“we had about 60 birds at the
Dunn.”
The prairie chicken has been
a focus area at the Dunn Ranch,
which is owned by The Nature
Conservancy. The conservation group has been working
on restoring the native prairie
habitat at the ranch and has also
established cooperative agreements with neighboring farmers
in Missouri and Iowa to restore
native grassland. A 200-acre tract
inside the Dunn “is the only acreage that we know of that’s never
seen a plow,” Roller said.
At the present time, the Dunn
Ranch is one of only three areas
in the state of Missouri where
there are populations of prairie
chicken.
The conservation department
plans to relocate more birds from
Iowa and Nebraska to build up
the flock.
He said scientists are making
studies of the habits of the birds
at the Dunn. One female prairie chicken tagged with a radio
collar was tracked over a 900mile route that crisscrossed an
area from St. Joseph to Kirksville.
The Dunn Ranch has become
a destination for tourists wanting to view the birds, the prairie
flowers and the herd of buffalo
that has been established on the
reserve.
“We have people come from
all over the world to see the prairie chickens,” Roller said.
The Dunn Ranch is part of
the 40,000-acre Grand River
Grasslands area stretching from
northern Harrison County into
southern Iowa.
Discussing another subject,
Roller said the region has seen
its first decline in the deer pop-
ulation since the first deer were
released in Harrison County in
1975. The herd had been affected
primarily by blue tongue disease
which has taken a toll on the deer
population.
The Department of Conservation has joined the University of
Missouri in conducting a study of
the deer population in Northwest
Missouri. They will be live trapping and sorting out female deer
for ultrasound examinations. The
new fawn will be fitted with radio
collars to track their habits as part
of the study.

Missouri heads to SEC Tournament
Missouri picked up another
win last week, at home against
Auburn on Senior Night, but then
followed that up with another road
loss, 52-43 at Mississippi State.
It was nice the Tigers could
squeak out at least one more win
against Auburn, with senior Keith
Shamburger hitting the winning
shot in the 63-61 victory in his last
game at Mizzou Arena.
Missouri (9-22, 3-15 in SEC
play through Sunday) had only
two seniors to recognize on Senior
Night, and they combined to play
three years at Missouri, with
Shamburger transferring from
Hawaii and Keanu Post transferring from a junior college. If coach
Kim Anderson is likely to succeed
at Missouri, he’ll likely need more
long-term, four-year seniors to
build his program around.
The Tigers’ loss at Mississippi
State (13-18, 6-12 in SEC), in
which they scored their second
fewest points of any game this
season, meant Missouri went
winless on the road this season,
losing all 10 true road games.
Dating back to last season’s win
at Arkansas, Missouri has now lost
15 straight road games.
Mississippi State wasn’t
exactly burning up the scoreboard,
Benjamin Herrold
A look at Mizzou sports.
but for a while it looked like the
Tigers might not get to 40.
Through Sunday, Missouri is
322nd in the country in scoring,
at 60.7 points per game.
With the regular season now
complete, Missouri heads to Nashville for the SEC Tournament to
finish up the season. It’s mostly
just a psychological thing, but
winning at least one game there
to get to double-digit wins would
provide at least a small consolation for the Tigers.
The story of this SEC Tournament, of course, is whether
Kentucky (31-0) can win it and
enter the NCAA Tournament
undefeated.
Missouri hasn’t made much
noise in its first two SEC Tournaments, going 1-1 each year and
bowing out in the quarterfinals.
However, in both years, the team
that beat Missouri went on to win
the tournament (Ole Miss in 2013
and Florida in 2014).
It’ll take a while for these SEC
Tournaments to be as big a deal
for Tiger fans as the Big Eight and
Big 12 Tournaments in Kansas
City were, but making some deep
tournament runs would help.
It may not matter given how
Missouri has struggled this
season, but the bracket is set up
for the Tigers to have a chance to
win a game or two in Nashville.
Missouri, the tournament’s
14 seed, plays on the tournament’s opening night, Wednesday,
against 11-seed South Carolina
(8:30 p.m. on SEC Network). The
Tigers lost 65-60 at South Carolina on Feb. 10. The Gamecocks
(15-15, 6-12 in SEC) have their
own offensive struggles.
If the Tigers can win, they’d
get 6-seed Ole Miss on Thursday
and then 3-seed Georgia on Friday
in the quarterfinals (both games
would be about 8:30 p.m. on SEC
Network).
It’s been a miserable season,
but a win or two in the conference
tournament would be a nice way
to close out the season.

Public Notices
(Editor’s Note: Public Notice advertising plays
a unique role both in American History and in the
process by which this country’s democracy is
preserved. Its one premise is that people must
be informed if they are to govern themselves
competently. Public Notice advertising first came
into being with the Congress of 1792. That body,
recognizing its responsibility to the people, required
the Postmaster General to advertise for bids for
the construction of new post offices. From that
inauspicious beginning to the complex publication
requirements in federal, state and local laws today,
government officials have come more and more to
understand their obligations to inform the public
through Public Notice advertising. Newspapers
over the years have been the vehicle by which these
obligations have been fulfilled. They will continue
to be as long as the public demands that it be informed frequently and by the best means possible.)

1/4 mile behind Dairy Queen, Bethany
by Sarah Hagler
Volunteers with area fire
departments
gathered
on
Monday, Feb. 23, at the Bethany
Fire Department to learn and
practice with equipment in a controlled environment.
Fire fighters from Bethany,
North Harrison, New Hampton,
Pattonsburg and Gilman City
have been coming together to
do safety training in an ongoing effort to work together and
create a larger pool of volunteers
to respond to calls.
While individuals took turns
with timed evolutions with
masks, others shared stories
about being part of the department and why they joined.
“I looked up to my dad for
being a cop and when I got to put
on the Sparky the fire dog costume at the kindergarten and see
the look on the kids faces when
I walked in. That led me to be a
lifeguard in high school and now
to a head coach for the youth
wrestling team and looking to get
my EMT as well as be on the fire
department,” says Zach Wilson.
“That fire costume made me
want to be a better person, a
leader and someone people could
look to for help. Our fire station
has made a lot of changes and
will continue to so that people
know that whether we are on a
call or not they can look to us for
help.”
For many fire fighters like
Wilson, service and protection
run in the family. For others, it’s
quite the opposite.
“I had never been within 100

feet of a big fire before,” says
Quenton Cox.
Cox got his start working for
the Noel T. Adams Memorial
Ambulance District and says he
wanted to get experience and to
see what it would be like to make
a career of saving people, so
Chief Jacob Denum suggested he
volunteer for the fire department.
Other fire fighters had the
same career goals as Cox, and
use their years of experience to
mentor their fellow volunteers.
Assistant Chief and lead
instructor David Kinnison moved
to Bethany after working for the
Independence Fire Department
for 25 years.
Today, volunteerism like this
that Fire Chief Jacob Denum
calls “a dying thing in our communities,” is what people in
Bethany count on to stay safe.
“We respond to about 60 fires
per year,” says Denum. “And
the bigger pool of volunteers we
have, the greater chance we have
to have a group of trained guys
respond to a call to save lives.”
And according to Denum,
that pool of responding firefighters needs to be nearly 24 people
per house fire in order to keep
the firefighters themselves safe,
get victims out of the house and
extinguish flames.
“Somebody has to when
there is a fire,” says Greg Blanton, a veteran of the department.
“Somebody has to come to a
scene to help because the people
there don’t have the training.”
It’s that call to serve, plus
the camaraderie the guys have
developed that keep these volunteers coming back. And it’s that
desire to help the community that
the fire department hopes will
encourage volunteers.
“We can’t fight a big house fire
in Bethany right now, because we
don’t have enough people to do
it,” pleads Denum. “And some
departments in the county only
have five people on their rosters.”
Denum encourages anyone
interested in volunteering to
contact him at the Bethany Fire
Department at 660-425-7912.
MU student Josh Booth to train at Clipper
The Republican-Clipper will
become part of the classroom
for the University of Missouri
School of Journalism when
journalism student Josh Booth,
a native of Cainsville, will join
the newspaper staff for a week of
hands-on publishing experience.
The School of Journalism, the
world’s oldest, was founded by
Dean Walter Williams in 1908.
Today the venerable school has
well over 1,000 students representing almost every state and
more than two dozen foreign
countries. Alumni of the school
circle the globe.
Students have been working
with community newspapers as
part of a class taught by Jim Sterling, former Missouri newspaperman. Field trips like this have
been a part of the curriculum for
more than 50 years.
Booth will be at the Republican-Clipper to learn first hand
how non-metro newspapers
operate. He grew up on a farm
near Cainsville and graduated in
2012 from Cainsville R-1 High
School. He is a junior with a science and agricultural journalism
major.
Josh’s parents are Randall and
Kim Booth, and his grandparents
are Wilbur and Myrna Booth.

Kansas City organization.
The Albany Ledger reported
last week that the band has been
nominated as the best rock band
by the Kansas City-based Project
Backstage 2015 Midwest Music
Awards.
Members of the band are
vocalist Aaron Franklin, drummer Toby Puffer, guitarist Chris
Cowell and bassist Dan Woody.
Cowell was nominated as the
best guitarist and Franklin was
nominated as best male vocalist.
The Ledger said the band’s
nomination came after performing at Aftershock in Kansas
City.
Fans of Bridges Burnt may
vote for the band once a day at
the Project Backstage website
projectbackstage.com.
The band will perform at the
Midwest Music Awards event on
April 11 at the VooDoo Lounge.
Dustin Fortner’s family and
friends have taken to Facebok to
keep the community updated on
his progress during a fight for his
life following severe brain injuries he received outside Camaro’s Lounge in Bethany April 28.
“Doctors admit it has been
a miracle that he has come this
far,” said his brother Kody on
Monday.
According to social media,
Dustin sat up on the edge of his
bed and even spoke with family
on the phone during the past nine
days.
While Fortner is reportedly
experiencing severe headaches
and limited use of his right arm
and leg, friends and family have
consistently reported surprising
amounts of progress, including
beginning physical therapy as
early as Monday.
Supporters of Fortner have set
up an account at gofundme.com,
where donations can be made to
assist in medical bills and forthcoming expenses associated with
his recovery.
