utler R-5 teachers were recently trained in
bullying identification and prevention strategies. The training was provided by Casey
Blau, a 17-year-veteran educator from Nixa, Mo.,
who specializes in this two-phase subject.
The reason for training R-5 teachers is to respond to student and parent concerns over bullying.
In a spring 2012 survey, Butler parents identified
“How students treat one another,” as the weakest performance area of the school district. Bullying was
also the most mentioned subject in the comments
section of the survey.
“We want to do the right thing for all of our
students, and when our parents indicate there is an
issue, we will take steps to make this a better learning environment for everyone,: stated Butler Superintendent, Alan Stauffacher.
The training utilizes available research to inform
teachers and students how to handle the situations
which arise in different scenarios in the school day.
“Punishing bullies is not sufficient to stop bullying. We must address those who bear the brunt
of bullying, those who stand by and watch, and
those who commit the acts of bullying in order to
understand how each contributes to that dynamic,”
said Blau in his comments to the faculty. “Bullying
is a habit and it takes a commitment to break that

parents and students is being able to discern what
is bullying and what is not. Casey shared some
skills and tools that teachers can use to empower
our student body.”
If parents think their child may be involved in
a bullying situation, Elementary Principal Stacey
Lawson says, “Parents need to listen to their child.
If they have concerns, they need to let the child’s
teacher or school administration know.”

Teachers have already begun to implement the
practices suggested by Blau and both buildings have
started to explore ways to make the process work in
Butler.
High School Principal Steve Hubbard said,
“Casey’s presentation provided our staff with extra
insights and talking points about bullies and bullying. One of the most important aspects for teachers,
This school year the junior and senior high
schools are implementing an ID card system. The
premise of this plan is to offer levels of privileges
for students that are consistently making the right
choices.
Details of the plan may seem overwhelming at
first, but the basic ideas are critical to a student’s
success:
Learn...
Be at school...
and Behave!
The cards are leveled by color—gold, silver,
bronze and red. Each color opens up a new level
of privilege. The level that will need the most
explanation is the red card. If a student makes
a choice that results in a red card, many school

There’s been few spare
moments of relaxation
for Randy Pike since he
was elected to the office of
Dist. 126 State Representative some three weeks
ago.
Pike, 58, scored a runaway victory over two
GOP challengers, amassing 2,577 votes (61.5 percent) across Bates County
and a portion of Vernon
County. Barbara York attracted 1,304 votes (31.1
percent) Bill Yarberry, 308
votes (7.4 percent).
As there were no Democrats filing for that party’s
nomination,
Pike’s victory assured
him an automatic free
ride to Jefferson City
come January.
P i k e
Pike
jump-started
the race last December
when he officially announced his candidacy
for state rep. and for all
intents and purposes his
campaign was pretty much
a downhill leap to the win
column.
He credits a lot of his
success to Rep. Barney
Fisher who endorsed him
and worked for his election. Fisher, of Richards,
Mo., will be vacating the
office as per the term limit
rule.

City letting in a little more sunshine
The News Xpress
City Administrator Mark Arbuthnot advised Mayor Don Malan and members of
the City Council of the need to fine tune the
Missouri Sunshine Law at Tuesday night’s
council meeting.
He highlighted the Sunshine Law workshop sponsored by KBRPC held Aug. 15 at
the hospital during which requirements for
governing body meetings and open records
were presented by Tom Dunkin with the
Missouri Attorney General’s Office.
From that session Arbuthnot learned sev-
eral areas need to addressed to assure compliance with these regulations, including the
need to resume filing minutes of council
committee meetings.
Further discussion around the table led
to adoption of a resolution (390) to comply
with state regulations.
Important dates are upcoming in regard
to what could be a major breakthrough in
cranking up the downtown improvement
project.
According to Arbuthnot, MoDOT is in
the process of granting the all important
“go-ahead” on the project. Presuming all
bases would have been covered, the time
line would be:
•The Council’s action in submitting bids
(which was approved by Burg motion and
unanimous vote Tuesday night).
•Bid advertisement Sept. 14.
•Contractor mandatory pre-bid Sept. 28.
•Open bids Oct. 8.
•City Council consider bids for approval

older; therefore the vaccine for shingles (Zostavax), a
one-time vaccination, is recommended for use in people 60 years old and older to prevent shingles even if
you are unsure if you had chickenpox or not. At this
time, CDC does not have a recommendation for routine use of shingles vaccine in persons 50 through 59
years old. However, the vaccine is approved by the
FDA for people in this age group so individuals in this
age group should talk to their healthcare provider.
Bates County Health Center encourages this vaccination. The vaccine must be ordered by your primary
care provider and submitted to the pharmacy. Because
the vaccine is very temperature sensitive, Bates County
Health Center will only administer the Zostavax vaccine if it is delivered to the health Center office in its
frozen state by the pharmacy. This is to ensure efficacy
for the patients—no one wants to pay for a vaccine that
has lost its efficacy because it was not stored and/or
handles correctly.
If you are interested in the Zostavax vaccine, talk to
your health care provider; if they are unable to administer the vaccine please call the Health Center office at
660-679-6108 for instructions. Remember, if you, the
patient, shows up with vaccine the Health Center has
no way of knowing how it has been stored, how long it
has been out of the freezer, etc., and the Health Center
will NOT administer that vaccine. PLEASE make arrangements BEFORE you arrive at the Health Center
office.

In between accepting

conferring with Care Connection officials and various school superintendents
within the 126th District.
All well and good, but
he emphasized as the present North District Bates
County Commissioner he

Donna Gregory and Larry

of overseeing the day-today responsibilities connected to county government, until the last week in
December when his term
ends.
“First things first,” he

As a freshman representative Pike is no stranger to
the capitol city. Over many
years of involvement in local/state affairs his credits
include: President of the
Kaysinger Basin Regional
Planning
Commission;
board member Missouri
Association of Counties;
member State 911 Hearing Committee; served five
years on National Association of Counties-Agriculture and Rural Affairs
Steering Committee; pastpresident of Osage Valley

frequent contact with the
Missouri Department of
Transportation.
Impressive? Yes, but
Pike stresses, “I definitely
will have a lot to learn as
representative and I’m
looking forward to the
challenges that lie ahead.”
Pike said new reps are
allowed to state their committee preferences. He has
requested agriculture, economic development and
education, all of which
will be determined as the
session progresses.
“I do appreciate all the
support that has come my
way and will do my best
to represent the people of
the 126th District. I will
keep in touch...and...my
ears will be listening and
my door is always open,”
he said.

Class dismissed!
Education is running full tilt in the Butler R-5 School District as of Aug. 16. Pictured are students heading for their next classes at the
9:32 a.m. break at the junior high-senior high campus.—Staff photo.
R-5 launches anti-bullying campaign
privileges are suspended.
For example, if a student has a failing
grade on the weekly reporting day (Monday
or first day of the week), that student will
be placed on a red card until that grade is
recovered.
While on a red card, a student loses any
daily privileges a teacher may grant. The
student loses the privilege of participating
in and attending extracurricular activities. Most of the red cards will be removed
when the offending circumstance is resolved, some will have to be maintained
until the next cycle.
The cycles are the midterm and quarter
benchmarks.
FROM FRONT PAGE
Some rewards for the program include
reduced admission into activities, gift card
drawings, and early dismissal. The focus for
this policy is to promote the right choices
resulting in greater self-pride, greater
achievement, and greater life success.
Please feel free to contact the high school
office if you have any questions, 679-6121.

The theme of it is “Brighten Your Day, Inspire Greatness”.
Cheryl will again prepare the flyers and the program. Sandy is to ask Edie if we can use her PA system again. Tickets
are printed, and are on sale now. Each member is expected
to purchase at least two. The committee had 125 tickets
printed. Tickets may be purchased at What to Wear and
EBT. In addition, you may contact any member for further
information.
Still under old business, we discussed the scholarship
search. Motion was made by Sally and seconded by Ramona to increase the scholarship fund by $500. The Committee is to meet in early August to select recipients.
The group sang “Happy Birthday” to the Sandy Billingsley, Karen Shaw and Millie Wright, who celebrate birthdays in July
Our speaker was Vicki Kershner who is with West Central. She staffs the Outreach Center. West Central covers nine counties including Cass, Bates, Vernon, Henry,
Hickory, St. Clair and Morgan counties, and also manages
the housing program for part of Grandview. Vicki keeps
the outreach Centers open in Butler and Clinton. Vicki
advises that 85% of the client families she finds assistance
for through the outreach center have one full-time working
member. Seventeen percent of the clients are there for the
first time seeking assistance.
Some of the things that Vicki handles through the Outreach Centers are energy assistance which may include
helping to pay a utility bill or it might be managing the
Weatherization and Conservation Unit for low income
families. The team goes to the home, finds where energy
is leaking and helps to stop the greater loss, or possibly fix
or replace a furnace. The Weatherization unit was funded
with funds from the federal stimulus package 2 years ago.
The Unit did work on approximately 250 homes before
the funds were exhausted. It helped, as they do not see as
many needing energy assistance.
Other programs offered include the following:
1. Women’s Health Division, where they come to Butler
twice a month and help women with annual exams, mammograms and birth control. Fees are charged on a sliding
scale.
2. Home Care
3. Life Skills classes
Last year, the budget for their programs was cut by 55%.
They had 3 rounds of lay-offs.
We appreciate Vicki taking the time from her busy
schedule to help us understand the very important part that
West Central and particularly the Outreach Center plays in
Bates County.

the railroad and her family and it was a very informative
program.
President Ethleen Craft asked members to join in repeating the invocation, Pledge of Allegiance and Club Song. The

‘Same’ song, second verse
I
had a slight obsession with the
boy band New Kids on the
Block when I was in junior
high and early high school. Okay,
it was an all-out obsession. I had
the t-shirts, bracelets, teeny bopper
magazines, posters; I even used
fabric paint to decorate my Keds
shoes with the names of the members of NKOTB.
I listened to their music constantly, I daydreamed about
marrying one of them (Joey) and
I tried desperately to win concert
tickets on the radio. My mom and
I even stood in line outside of the
Jones store at Bannister Mall on a
frigid winter day to buy tickets to
their concert. When we got near
the front of the line, we found out
the concert was sold out. My fourteen-year-old heart was broken.
TWENTY-SOME years later,
I have a whole new respect for my
mom. Why? Because I have an
eight-year-old daughter who went
from listening to her kiddie CD’s
to the latest boy bands, practically
overnight.
Kaelyn loves to get on YouTube
and play her favorite songs, always
choosing the videos with lyrics
so she can sing along. Loudly.

With dance routines. Usually at
the most inopportune moments,
like when my husband, Chris, gets
home and we’re trying to talk to
one another about our day.
We have a rule that the kids
can’t have computers in their
rooms, only in locations in the
house where we can monitor
them. The dining room/kitchen
area is usually the hubbub of activity in our house, and where the
laptop usually ends up.
Sometimes I feel like I’m making dinner right in the middle of a
karaoke club.
“Baby, you light up my world
like nobody else...” she’ll sing
along to One Direction, a popular
boy band. (Kaelyn had to explain
this to me recently. I had never
heard of One Direction until
about a month ago. See how uncool I am?)
AS THE SONG goes on, her
voice gets louder. By the end, the
windows are shaking. “THAT’S
WHAT MAKES YOU BEAUTIFUL…”
Chris is a lot better about tuning it out. When One Direction
sang at the closing ceremony of
the Olympics, Kaelyn shrieked
with joy and Chris asked who they
were. “D-a-a-a-ad!” said Kaelyn,
obviously exasperated.
Chris turned to me. “Who
you’ll be taking Kaelyn to see in
concert one day,” I explained. His
eyes widened.
It’s not just One Direction that
makes her squeal, it’s Big Time
Rush, Justin Bieber, Taylor Swift
and probably a dozen others I
don’t even know.
And it’s just beginning, too.
Right now she refuses to give
up her animal wallpaper border
from her baby days, but someday
posters of her favorite singers will
probably be up too.
WOULD I STAND in line for
hours on a freezing day to try to
get her tickets to a concert, like my
mom did with me? Absolutely.
And if we got tickets, Chris
would take her to the concert.

St. Mary’s school
begins new year
St. Mary’s school began it’s new school year this
week. During the first week, the students were dismissed at noon. The teachers were eager to greet the
students and had been busy since mid-August preparing
for their arrival. The students, including 15 new students, came back with a great deal of energy and enthusiasm. They were excited about the changes in the
classrooms during the summer months and were glad
to meet their new teachers. Teachers for this school
year are: Mrs. Steward Pre-K and Kindergarten, Mrs.
Koehler 1st and 2nd grades, Ms. Tarasi 3rd, 4th and 5th
grades and Mrs. Owe 6th, 7th and 8th grades.
All of the students, faculty and staff have looked
forward to this school year. The upper grade students
again have adopted the Pre-K and Kdg. students as their
special “buddies”. They have assisted them with their
lunch plates and also sit with them at our school Mass.
It has helped the younger students to transition to their
new situation and has been a rewarding experience for
the older students.
At the school Mass on Wednesday, Fr. Tom explained
the what was meant by the concept of stewardship. Fr.
Tom asked the students what a steward was and what
and how they would take care of something. The students all had a better understanding of those terms after
hearing Fr. Tom’s explanation.
St. Mary’s welcomes Gladys Kalwei as our new
cook. The students have enjoyed her lunches and have
said that her food is “awesome”.
As the first week of classes was drawing to a close,
the same consensus was heard from parents, teachers
and students; they all feel that St. Mary’s will have a
great year with such energy and enthusiasm present on
so many levels.
We do want to thank all of the parents, students and
volunteers that worked so hard over the summer to
spruce up the school and to make needed repairs to the
building and playground. The new paint, as well as all
of the cleaning looks great! We do appreciate all of the
many people who support St. Mary’s school in so many
different ways.–Sue Koehler, Principal.

Camp Quality lifeguards
The 19th annual Camp Quality-Greater Kansas City, was held recently with 71 campers in attendance. Camp
Quality is a week-long outing for children with cancer ages 4-17 and their siblings are also invited. Each camper
is paired with a companion for the week and the two participate in many activities together such as swimming, fishing, boating, arts/crafts an zip-lining. Camp Quality is a non-profit organization; there is no cost to
the campers and money is raised through fund-raising. Many volunteers from surrounding areas help with the
camp. Haylea Craigmiles, assistant manager of the Butler Aquatic Center, served as a companion to a camper
for the week and organized the partnership between the BAC and the camp. Haylea (left) and five employees,
Erin Burch, Kayla Morris, Kiersten Morris, along with Skyler Wooldridge and Aarika Gardner (not pictured), volunteered to serve as lifeguards for this year’s camp. For more information on Camp Quality-GKC, please go to

Prepping pastures for next year
“The most economical forage harvesters you have are livestock. They don’t need
diesel and they drive themselves,” says Pat Miller, University of Missouri Extension
Agronomy specialist.
She recommends producers start planning now to increase their forage for next year.
It has been noted that low fertility fields are more likely to have stands reduced following a drought. So once we have enough rain to allow the soil to be probed, Miller
suggests taking a soil test. A good test consists of 20 to 30 six-inch cores taken from
the field and mixed together. For more information, see guide MU Extension guide
sheet G9217. Many pastures receive only nitrogen fertilizer annually and, over time,
phosphate and potash levels go down.
The drought and heat have taken their toll on the forages so stands may need to
be over-seeded with grasses or legumes. Seeding should be delayed until adequate
moisture will allow for the newly seeded plants to root deeply. Legumes can be “frost
seeded” by mixing the seeds with a winter fertilizer application. The freezing and
thawing of the soil will work the legume seed into the ground. Another way to plant
the grass and legume seed would be to drill the seed next spring. Many Soil and Water
Conservation Districts have drills available for rent.
If brushy weeds have taken over the field and herbicide use is warranted, seeding
may need to be delayed for several years. Be sure to check herbicide labels for planting
restrictions. Some may restrict legume planting for over a year or until a field bioassay is done. Miller explains that the process for a bioassay involves taking some of the
treated soil and planting seeds in it to see how they grow.
WEATHER
Larry Cumpton family farm, of Adrian, received 1st Place in Two Draft Mule Hitch.
Miller notes that rotational grazing will stretch short forage supplies. Using fences
to divide pastures into smaller paddocks will increase utilization of forage supplies by
reducing forage waste due to trampling and selective grazing. If allowed to pick and
choose, livestock will keep going back to the new regrowth and avoid areas with mature growth. Rotational grazing will also help manure to be more evenly distributed
across the pastures, reducing fertilizer needs.
“Feeding hay is expensive,” Miller says. So make plans now to better utilize pastures for your forage needs. For more information, contact your local University of
Missouri Extension Center.

tion piece. Hopefully it will

Drivers beware deer everywhere
First things first...I want to start
off by asking everyone to become a
little more defensive while driving.
Be very alert. I think the deer around
these parts are somewhat confused
and are on the move a lot lately. Lisa
and I have been able to dodge them
pretty good so far. That is until recently, we were driving east on old
52, just west of Amoret. We were
watching a vehicle in front of us and
they were driving a little slow. All of
a sudden I see a pretty good sized
deer. It had jumped from the ditch to
the field, just thankfully, away from
the traffic. When I reached that area,
another jumped right in front of us.
All I could do was try to straddle
the poor animal. I must have missed
him somewhat because he laid there
for awhile, then was up. As I looked
back up, I saw the vehicle stopped in
front of us. He had waited to see how
we made out and if we were OK. I
thought this was a nice gesture and
not often seen. He then asked if I
minded him going to pick the animal
up, as he had a trailer hitched up. I
told him he was perfectly welcome
and we preceded on our way. Please
keep your eyes open....they are everywhere.
I was pleasantly surprised last
weekend. My cousin Bunny and her
family, along with Jennifer Whit,
dropped by to see us. They were on
their way back from the lake and they
also stopped at Precious Moments
before heading our way. It was good
to see them all. We had a wonderful
visit! Also last weekend, my uncle
and his wife stopped by as well. They
had brought down some CD’s and
DVD’s for us and my mother.
Lisa and I attended an event, held
at the city park Saturday. If you have
FB and if you have been following
the new “You knew you grew up in
Butler when...” posts. There has been
an array of interesting comments,
story sharing, memory jolting, and
pictures. Some of the pictures are
great and some show our little down
being boarded up everywhere. Anyway, this great page, that takes us
all down memory lane, came with
it an event. This event was inspired
by Bruce Furman. Unfortunately, it
wasn’t as big of a turnout as I anticipated, but we all had a wonderful
time. Those in attendance : Bruce
Furman, Cyndi Cumpton Walton,
Dianna Hutton, Carol Hutton, Esther Hopcroft, and Lisa and I. We
shared yearbooks, wedding albums,
and a mountain of fond memories.
Every time we turned a page of the
1974 yearbook, we had some type
of memory to share or remember
together...It was almost like being
there, back in time. Those memories
seemed like they were only yesterday. We also shared our feelings, of
the state of affairs, we thought Butler
was in...How we all missed the strip,
when it was full of life, not to mention the Square. Several fond memories shared of this as well.
Prior to going to the “You knew
you grew up in Butler” Event, Lisa
and I dropped in on our neighbors/
friends/owners of “Angelo’s”. We
had a very nice breakfast and were
able to talk with our friends at the
same time. Jim and Kelly are some
great folks and volunteer their time
to help the betterment of Butler
here, there, and everywhere they are
needed....very commendable. I was
also surprised to find, that Jim is
instrumental in the “Island Mound

with the Historical Society and
Museums. My hat is off to you my

place to go. Their breakfast was great
as well! While there, were ran into

It was good to see them. They had

We had the opportunity to see a
very nice picture of Jesse McGuire’s
wife and her state of pregnancy. She
is 38 weeks along and if my calculations are correct...we are about
to have another little McGuire running around here soon. Congrats to

hay. Oh well, maybe next year. Been
four years now, since we got any
fruit. If it’s not frost...its drought!
I received a call from an old classmate of 1974. It was Terry Young,
and she has been feeling poorly as of
late. She still has that fire in her voice
though. I ask that everyone keep
her in your thoughts and prayers as
well...We all need a little help from
our friends.
Our good friend Susie came out
to see us Sunday afternoon, early
evening...she had enlisted Lisa’s help
in some flower artistry. This is for her
David Huey and his bride to be. We
had dinner and visited the rest of our
time together. As always, it is good
to see her.
Tonight, on the way home, I
heard someone honk at us, as we
were driving out of Osage Valley’s
parking lot...you know paying the
electric. Anyway, it was my friend
and neighbor...Neal Brownell. Followed him down to the road and
caught up for a spell..He was moving
something ...somewhere...I believe it
was his infamous bull! He was carrying, from the Orange street location
and packing it home...going to miss
seeing it on the strip. We said our
good-byes and decided to meet later.
Last...but far from least. I received the sweetest card from our
old friends Sue and Junior Minnick. They always keep us in their
thoughts. I what you folks to know,
we appreciate you and your friendship. Thanks for the nice card...made
my day. Sue, “Late is better than
never”!

All that fire
could backfire
A
s it has been said zillions
of times, “Given a day, and
anything can happen in the
wild, wild, world of sports!
Sports...take a back seat...that
claim belongs to politics.
Virtually overnight up sprung an
unknown political aspirant whose
name has become a household
word everywhere. You know who
we mean unless you live in an undiscovered cave. Putting it bluntly:
Akin is achin’ and scores of
folks—even in his party—declare
he has no “legitimate” excuse for
his slip of the tongue.
NOT TO BE outdone, another
lame brain jumped on the notoriety
bandwagon. Kansas Congressman
Yoder came clean, admitting he
did a swan dive into the holy Sea
of Galilee—in his birthday suit.
He could of said it was his version
of baptism, but nobody would buy
that either.
Mistakes? You can be sure we
know all about blunders which in
our case are out in plain sight each
week for everyone to jaw about.

our best to correct them or other-

wise make amends.
But when we’re the innocent
victims of screw-ups it bears some
ink as well.
CASE IN POINT: Two photos
on page 2 of last week’s rag. Both
had Rockville connections. One
shot was of the Butler Fire Department’s demonstration of Bates
County’s first ladder pumper truck.
The other, a snap of the majestic
Rockville school erected in the late
1800s.
We design and put together the
pages in our office. When completed the pages are e-mailed to a printing plant up north. At that point
the finished product is beyond our
control.
The photo caption titles (which
we refer to as “kick lines” were ab-
13
solutely correct when they left our
office, i.e. “High Over Rockville
(fire truck) and “Rockville and the
three R’s” (school building).
Instead, those “kick lines” read:
e ust ovr r mooyvu’r—and
mooyvd’r nnp tt r tt rrr nis
True, blaming a computer glitz
is a cop-out to shift blame elsewhere—BUT, that’s exactly what
happened on the other end of the
line.
So far there have been no
threats of burning down the office or shooting the editor, rather
the means of eliciting wisecracks
aplenty which we’re used to after
all these years.
YEARS, AND I mean years,
ago when I was setting news on
a Lineotype at the Bates County
Democrat, the clanking contraption took a spell of doubling letters
and numbers.
Hence, one edition reported
that a mother had given birth to a
66-pound baby.
It took quite a spell for our readers to let that mistake fade away.
‘Full plate’ in store September 8
O
ne of the Booster Club’s
preparations for the Sept.
8 Butler Airport Fly-In
involved restoring the ancient
entrance door to the airport waiting room. It had been installed
backwards at the last remodeling,
so for years it opened inward, allowing rainwater to blow in and
trash to accumulate on the floor.
With much volunteer labor, it now
opens out.
Channel 9 traffic reporter Johnny Rowlands will be down for the
Fly-In, along with a host of display
aircraft and interesting attendees.
With good weather, the possibilities are endless; personal jets,
powered parachutes, radio-control
planes, homebuilts and antiques.
THIS COMING SUNDAY
brings up the Fliars Club meeting,
wherein all air-heads should assemble on the Butler airport ramp at
0700 hours. Plans are always fluid,
of course, but if weather permits,
flying to breakfast will be on the
agenda.
f nothing else, it could be said that Todd Akin
has tough skin—and has proved it over the
past several days in the wake of his “legitimate
rape” comment during a radio station interview
in St. Louis.
The Republican candidate for U.S. Senator
from Missouri (said not to have been the party’s
choice to begin with) has felt and apparently
weathered the wrath of party higher-ups, notably
Mitt Romney, Danforth, Bond, Talent, Blunt and
others who demanded he drop out of the race.
None minced words. They made it plain that in
their opinion Akin would be a detriment to the
Republican cause, perhaps to the extent of derailing Romney’s run for the White House.
Still, according to polls released Wednesday,
Akin leads Democrat incumbent Claire McCaskill by a 44-43 percent margin.
And Akin, who has profusely apologized for
his radio interview comment, says he’s in the
race to stay.
Would it be possible that all the fire he ignited
might backfire? Human nature being what it is,

The weekly traffic influx included a Bellanca Citabria, a Piper
Cherokee 180 and a vintage Ercoupe. Locally, I had the Aeronca
Champ out, brought a Cessna 150
in from Higginsville and flew to
Bolivar in the Cessna Skyhawk
with Les Chambers. Tim Hill had
his Cessna Skylane up, Jerry Burns
flew his Parsons experimental
gyrocopter and the Piper TriPacer
was up.
Construction continues at various airports. Warsaw is still closed,
even though the contractor’s
deadline has passed and it’s costing
$1,000 a day in penalties. Nevada’s
weather broadcast still says the
taxiway is closed, and Clinton is
forging ahead with its new runway
18/36.
AS REPORTED in last week’s
paper, SkyDive KC will attempt
a high-altitude record jump this
weekend, flying the Beech King
Air to 25,000 feet for an oxygenassisted descent. The C90 King
Air’s specs say it will go to 30,000,
but going to Mt. Everest heights
involves much more preparation.
Our weekly question was,
what personal device is found in
a lot of airplanes used for serious cross-country travel? It’s the
iPad, of course, usable for storing
digital navigation charts, flight
plans, weather access and a host of
other apps. No, I’m still on a dumb
phone.
For next time, who’s the probable next FAA Administrator,
succeeding Randy Babbitt, even
though it appears that his DUI
charge was thrown out?

in motion and we should not let another day pass

meant you still had a few weeks
left before school started. My midmonth birthday could be celebrated
unmarred by school-related events.
My favorite birthdays were the
ones involving water; swimming
for hours and the cool, clean exhaustion that followed, the lingering smell of chlorine, salt or fishy
lake. That, and lemon cake.
The start of school has slowly
crept backward toward my birthday. Of course, I’ve taken it personally and I am highly offended, but
have dealt with it by repeatedly
telling myself to grow up.
My kids changed schools this
year. For them, the only good thing
about this change was that the new
school started three days later than
the old one.
MY 10-YEAR-OLD SON patiently endured my rapid-fire questions as soon as he stepped off the
bus. “It’s just so.... BIG,” he said at
first. After that I got “Okay” or “I
guess” or “I don’t know.” Perhaps I
overplayed the interrogation, even
though I was the good cop.
I had to wait until later to hear
his heart. He sidled up to me as I
washed dishes and said, “Today at
school, I felt...” (Mommy sensors
on full alert: the BOY is about
to spill it! Stay cool. Maintain
eye contact. Yes, yes?) “... out of
place.”
It’s a little harder for my daughter, who is a sophomore this year.
She misses the daily interaction
and comfort of friends she’s

known all her life. In the last few
weeks I’ve mentally rehearsed
personal stories, tidbits of wisdom,
anything that might help, but I
never know when she’s receptive.
When I offered my opinion that
she was in denial (admittedly a
mistake), she snapped. “Would you
quit telling me what I am?”
I want to tell them I know what
they’re feeling. I remember the
turmoil, the stomach-ache feeling
you get from being the new kid, not
knowing where to go or what to expect, the confusion when teachers
speak in acronyms like A.R. and
Z.A.P.
WHEN I WAS EIGHT my
family moved from Chicago to
Oklahoma. My best friend and I
spent hours crying in the bathroom
the night before we left while the
rest of the church had a goingaway party. A kind young woman
came in and tried to console me.
“You’ll make new friends, you’ll
see.” I stared at her disbelievingly.
She didn’t understand a thing. So I
try to refrain from offering such pat
answers to my kids, and find myself instead saying things like, “I’m
sorry this is so hard,” and “Would
a mango-pineapple smoothie
help?”
How do you say goodbye? How
does one let go of the old just
enough to embrace the new? It
doesn’t happen without some mea-
sure of pain.
I’ve been wondering about this
all summer. A good friend of ours,
Melvin Smith from Adrian, has
been valiantly fighting the effects
of cancer. We haven’t known him
long, but my husband and he took
to each other immediately, sharing an affinity for motorcycles and
trees. (Adrian locals will recall
Mel’s cycling journey accounts
in the Adrian Journal.) When
it became clear the cancer was
gaining, I wondered, what do you
do for someone who may not see
another summer? Visits, his wife
advises, are best kept short. Food
gifts aren’t advisable either due to
swallowing problems.
WHAT ONE does is to feel
helpless, cry a little, and pray. In a
recent email addressed to a large
mailing list, he began, “We are still
partying, but must admit it is taking a lot more effort for everyone
involved...” So characteristic of
him to be concerned for others caring for his needs. I marvel over his
fortitude and high spirits. Later he
says, “As far as I know I am having
the longest and most enjoyable
Last ‘Cycle’ Trip of anyone.”
So, dear Mel, this column is for
you. This is my token, my Bundt
cake, offered in hopes it will cheer
you in your journey. Thank you
for showing us how to embrace the
new.
Melvin Smith passed quietly in
the early morning hours of Tuesday, Aug. 21. His family reports
they read numerous emails to him
the previous weekend from dear
friends. The above was sent to Mel
for a preview though I had hoped
he would see the column published.

September Senior Citizens Month
O
ur senior citizens are enjoying the break in weather we are having with cooler temperatures. The
trip to the Senior Center is much more pleasant.
Friday mornings with Rita’s cinnamon rolls and other
activities have been well attended. Evenings when we
have dirty bingo and dinners are one of our most well
attended events. Some local businesses have donated
prizes for these events. Some of the players have been
bringing prizes to be given. Our next one will be Tuesday, Sept. 4 at 6 p.m. We will be serving brats, sides and
desserts. Occasionally some of the players bring a side
dish or dessert. If you wish to donate we will be pleased
and you can bring them on the evening of the event.
Information concerning women’s preventative health
care will be Sept. 7 from 9 to 11 a.m. Two well informed
speakers will be speaking.
We have been having movies shown on our big screen
TV on Wednesdays after lunch. We still have birthday
dinners every third Tuesday of each month. Those having a birthday that month may come at lunch time as we
celebrate their birthday with them.
September is National Senior Citizens Month. We
will have additional activities in that month as we recognize our Seniors. You can get a copy of our buzz calendar for a listing of the events. We would be happy to
have you join us. We are proud of our Provide A Ride
(PAR) program. This program provides a free ride to
important appointments for seniors who have no other
means of transportation available. Donations are appreciated. For more information call 660-679-5830.
We have plans for our Fall Fundraising Festival which
will be Oct. 28 beginning at 11 a.m. in the Youth Building at the Bates County Fairgrounds. Dinner will be

Quotes From Yesterday’s Kids
W
Back in the dirt road days
hen I was a kid most of the roads, even what is
now Route 52, were just dirt. They were maintained with a grader pulled by four head of horses. The
horses were connected to the tongue and double tree at
the front of the grader. The front wheels turned as the
horses turned. It took two men to operate the grader.
One would drive the horses and the other stood between
two wheels located near the rear of the grader. These
wheels were separate from the rear wheels. One wheel
was to raise and lower the grader blade. The other wheel
was to set the angle needed for the blade which was constantly changing.
Corn was harvested with a team of horses and a
wagon that had a bumper board on the opposite side
from where you would throw the corn. The ones shucking the corn would have a metal clip that fit on the hand
to help tear the ear of corn from the stalk. Horses were
trained to walk, pulling the wagon down beside the row
and their most common commands were gitty-up and
whoa. You would pray on each trip not to have a runaway. Horses helped themselves to corn that had fallen
on the ground. If they got too active at that a muzzle
was placed over their mouths. Their water supply was
from passing streams or water holes as we called them.
A jug of water from the shuckers and sometimes lunch
were placed in the wagon. When the wagon was full, the
horses pulled it to the corn crib. The corn was shoveled
into the corn crib by hand.
Sometimes in mid-afternoon the horses were allowed
to break to graze. At these times the shuckers would
grab a watermelon from the patch and head for a dip
in the creek. The work day was from dawn to dark and
suppertime came very late. The ladies took pride in preparing supper seeing which household could prepare
the best salads and desserts. Most of the food had been
harvested from the farm—potatoes, pumpkin for pies,
cucumbers, sweet potatoes, cantaloupe, watermelon,
peppers and other vegetables and fruits. The children
had their part in bringing the produce to the house and
helping to prepare it.
If you were looking for a job, do you think you would
apply for a farm job?
■Flavors of yesterday
What a taste treat!
By Brian Phillips
Colossal melon, Long
of Naples Squash, Turkish
Eggplant, Caspian Pink tomato, Big Bertha and Black
Hungarian Wax peppers,
Horned African cucumber,
taste all these heirloom vegetables and fruits and more
at the TASTE event at Poplar Heights Living History
Farm on Saturday, Sept. 8,
11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Heirlooms are vegetables
and fruits that our grandparents and great grandparents grew in their gardens.
Then they were hybridized
so they could be shipped
across country, so they
wouldn’t ripen too fast, so
they wouldn’t bruise and in
the process, we nearly lost
many of these treasures.
We all know that a tomato
from our garden tastes better than from the store - now
try the old time flavors at
TASTE.
Throughout the day,
you can freely sample salsas, soup, relishes, cakes,
stews and more, all made
with heirlooms grown from
seed at Poplar Heights. Relax at the new picnic area
with your treats. For $4 a
sandwich, you can built a
BLT - bacon lettuce and tomato or a FSLT - Fresh Side
Pork, lettuce and tomato
sandwich on artisan breads.
With that sampling or sandwich, you can drink a glass
of cucumber lemonade and
for desert a slice of cake or a
melon creamsicle.
The nutritionists from
MU Extension will be there
to demonstrate how to safely can the produce in your
home gardens. There will
also be demonstrations on
making homemade herbal

Happy-sad ROMEO’s ride
By Michele Burris
Managing Editor Adrian Journal
A group of motorcyclists made their way to Adrian
on Tuesday, April 21, to eat lunch at Adriana’s with
Melvin Smith and other motorcyclists from Adrian and
area towns. The group, called the ROMEO’s (Retired
Old Motorcyclists Eating Out), gathers every Tuesday
to eat breakfast or lunch somewhere in Missouri or
Kansas. Roger Shores, the ROMEO Kansas City Ride
Coordinator, worked closely with Randy Roberts of
Butler to plan the gathering in Adrian.
The turnout in Adrian was huge, with motorcyclists
coming from more than 200 miles away to eat lunch.
“It’s the biggest turnout the ROMEO Kansas City
group has ever had,” Shores said.

The new Native Prairie
Garden, made possible with
a grant from the Missouri
Prairie Foundation will be
officially opened with a ribbon cutting ceremony in the
afternoon. The garden features native plants that grew
in the great tall grass prairie
of the Midwest. Now in
Missouri, less than 1% of
that original prairie remains,
including a small patch on
Poplar Heights Farm.

One hurt
in 2-vehicle
accident
Douglas M. Ellis of
Mountain Grove, Mo., received treatment for moderate injures at the hospital
in Butler following a two
vehicle accident Aug. 18.
Highway Patrol Trooper B.R. Dodson reported
the accident occurred at
3:10 p.m. on Route J at
County Road 6002, when
a westbound 1973 Chevrolet grain truck driven by
38-year-old Richard Gaylord of Butler failed to stop
at a controlled intersection and was struck in the
passenger side by a southbound 1996 Chevrolet S-10
truck driven by Ellis, 38.
Ellis was wearing a
seatbelt, Gaylord was not
according to the report.
Gaylord received minor injuries. There was extensive
damage to the S-10, minor
damage to the grain truck.
Trooper Dodson was
assisted at the scene by
sheriff ’s deputies and an
Amsterdam first responder
unit.
What the group would learn upon arrival is the sad
news that the senior member, Melvin Smith, passed
away earlier in the morning. Rogers said Melvin was
the first ROMEO to shake hands with a newcomer, to
welcome them into the group. “We miss Melvin but we
know he’s here with us. We know he is always with the
ROMEO’s,” Rogers said.
The ROMEO’s gives retired people something to do,
to have a common interest in motorcycles. It was evident at Adriana’s that the ROMEO group takes pride in
the friendships. The camaraderie was contagious. Anyone is welcome to join the ROMEO’s. There are three
groups in the area. There are no dues and no officers.
