Apartment complex’s renovation described as ‘a labor of love’
A nearly $3 million project to
rehabilitate the 12th Street Apartments was celebrated on Nov. 24
during a ribbon-cutting ceremony
and open house, sponsored by the
USDA Rural Development and the
Bethany Chamber of Commerce.
The 36-unit complex was original
constructed in 1979, but had fallen
into disrepair in recent years when
the apartments were in receivership.
“I came here when this was in
very bad shape,” said Janie Dunning,
state director of Rural Development,
who was the keynote speaker at an
open house held in the apartment
complex’s remodeled community
room.
Dunning presented plaques to
Harrison County Public Administrator Kim King and Matt Fulson of the
Fulson Housing Group in recognition
of their efforts to bring about the renovation of the complex.
“Affordable and quality hous-
ing are mandatory to promote and
guarantee the viability of any community,” Dunning said. “Completion
of the rehabilitation for 12th Street
Apartments assures the city of Bethany will have great housing options
for its residents.”
Since the passing of the previous
owners of the apartments, King in
her capacity as public administrator
stepped in to oversee the complex
until February of 2014. The complex is now under the management of
Matt Fulson of Lee’s Summit, Mo.,
owner of Fulson Housing Group. The
company applied and received tax
credits in the amount of $2,912,701
to complete the renovation.
Dunning said the apartment complex appeared at one time to be in
imminent danger of closing. “But we
weren’t ready to give up on it,” she
said.
Dunning, whose office is located
in Columbia, credited King and
Folsun for their “clear understanding
of the connection between housing
and the strength of a community. This
rehabilitation is a prime example of
what it takes to make a complex successful.”
The completed rehabilitation
project included interior apartment
upgrades and improvements such
as new appliances, cabinets, flooring, fixtures, exterior and concrete
improvements, roofs, siding, decks,
heating, air conditioning, a new community room, office and laundry
room upgrades.
“This has been a labor of love for
us,” Fulson said at the ribbon-cutting
ceremony.
The housing development also
has a medium size community room
that can be used for meetings and
local family gatherings.
The 12th Street Apartments is currently 100% occupied, according to
Rural Development officials.

Park to light
up Saturday
for Christmas
The holiday season will be
kicked off in a big way on Saturday,
Dec. 5, when the Christmas in the
Park celebration begins at the South
Harrison Elementary School from
4:30 to 7 p.m.
While much of the celebration
will be held indoors, the sponsoring
Bethany Area Chamber of Commerce and the city of Bethany will
be providing wagon rides to the
park to view the Christmas displays.
The Chamber also will be handing out 150 gift bags containing
coupons and promotional items to
persons attending the celebration.
The Bethany Kiwanis Club
will be serving pancakes, biscuits
and gravy at the school as part of
their program to buy caps, coats
and gloves for children in Harrison
County schools.
Santa Claus will be taking part
in the celebration and refreshments
will be served.
The Christmas Homes Tour also
will be held from 3 to 8 p.m. on
Saturday. The South Harrison AfterProm committee will be selling
tickets for the tour of six homes and
business locations in the Bethany
area.
The stops on the tour will be at
the Bent Tree Gallery, 27619 East
340th Street and the homes of Brad
and Gwynne Allen, 32325 East
240th Ave., Brad and Vanessa Johnson, 22508 East 340th St., Mick
and Carol Walker, 1604 Findley
Rd., Thomas and Sarah Linthacum,
28856 East Highway T, and Lee and
Alicia Farmer, 31198 East 230th
Ave.
Tickets are available from junior
class students and the BTC Bank,
HodgePodge and the South Harrison High School office.
‘Molly,’ the wonder dog, performs
double duty for two litters of pups
“Molly,” the boxer-Labrador
retriever owned by Ronnie
Wilson and Mary Brown, got
more than she bargained for
recently when she gave birth to
11 healthy puppies.
Not only is she nursing her
own puppies but she also has
taken over responsibilities for
six other puppies, born a few
days earlier to her now-deceased
kennel mate “Star.”
Wilson and Brown, who live
southeast of Bethany on 237th
Avenue, were surprised that
Molly took on Star’s puppies
when the Yorkipoo passed away
five days after delivering her
offspring.
The couple placed Star’s
puppies next to Molly and her 11
puppies and “she immediately
began cleaning them and nursing
them” along with her own litter.
Molly and Star were bred by
a blue heeler owned by Mary
Brown’s son-in-law. That wasn’t
the intention but it was something of an accident, Ronnie says.
Wilson and Brown are uncertain what caused Star’s death but
she may have gotten into some
rodent poison being used outside
their house. Their two dogs were
close friends and Molly appears
to have been mourning her
kennel mate. So it may not have
been surprising that she would
also begin nursing her friend’s
puppies.
Molly, now nursing 17 puppies, has added to the couple’s
expenditures for dog food supplies.
“We have to feed her every
three or four hours,” Wilson said.
The South Harrison school board
has created new positions to staff the
new middle school, which will be
opening in the fall of 2016.
Superintendent Dennis Eastin said
the school district already had plans
to add a middle school counselor
because of the need for more “oneon-one contact” with students in the
classroom.
Eastin pointed out that the high
school counselor already has a heavy
workload because she must help
seniors with their applications for
college scholarships.
“We have an increased need for
individual help for students,” Eastin
said.
The school board also voted to
add a middle school music/band position to assist with the band and choir.
The high school band has grown in
recent years and the school wants to
add more vocal music courses.

Protective super mom: Ronnie Wilson and Mary Brown’s dog “Molly” has
been nursing a total of 17 healthy puppies. Eleven from her own litter plus
six more from another dog.
Harrison County residents spent a
rather dreary Thanksgiving weekend
with steady rains and temperatures
hovering near the freezing point.
More than 3 1/2 inches of rain fell
during the four-day weekend, causing
area streams to run at bank level with
some minor flooding.
The rain stopped long enough for
the runners to compete in Thanksgiving morning’s Turkey Trot at the
South Harrison High School. But the
intermission was only a few minutes
as the rain moved back into the area
and continued through Monday. The
sun finally poked through briefly on
Tuesday morning with forecasts for
milder weather and clear skies for the
next several days.
Temperatures were in the low to
mid-30s throughout the weekend,
causing slick conditions on some
roadways.
The Highway Patrol reported that
Felicia R. Udovich, 26, of Trenton
received moderate injuries when her
1998 Ford Explorer slid off Route D,
north of Martinsville, and overturned
Friday morning.
Ms. Udovich was taken by Grand
River Ambulance to the Harrison
County Community Hospital.
The patrol reported that the
Explorer was northbound on Route D
when the vehicle began sliding on the
icy road. The vehicle went off the east
side of the roadway and overturned
coming to a rest on its wheels.
position will also be added at the
middle school.
The school district plans to advertise the new positions in January and
February and make the hires in early
spring.
The recent wet weather has
slowed work on the middle school
although the contractor should be
able to enclose part of the building
before winter. The electrical contractor has begun installing some conduit
in the school.
Eastin said the middle school’s
basketball court will have a wooden
floor and a seating capacity for about
220 spectators. The new facility will
take the load off the present high
school gymnasium.
“It will help in the scheduling
of practices,” Eastin said. “Right
now the gymnasium is busy from 6
o’clock in the morning and at night”
to accommodate the teams.
Events
Cainsville lighting: The Christmas tree lighting will be held at
6 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 6, at the
Cainsville Park. The movie “Dennis the Menace Christmas” will be
shown at 4 p.m. at the Cainsville
Christian Church. After the lighting, Santa Claus will visit with
youngsters at the Cainsville Community building.
Blood drive: The Bethany Community blood drive will be from
11:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Dec. 8 at
the United Methodist Church fellowship hall.
Home tour: The South Harrison
After-Prom committee will be
sponsoring a holiday home tour
on Saturday, Dec. 5, in the Bethany area. Details are on page 8.

Five escapees from a juvenile boys
home in St. Paul, Minn., were apprehended early Monday morning in
Bethany following what easily could
have turned into a gun battle with law

required by state law.
South Harrison school officials will
be going to the community in search

problems at the Bethany Elementary
School.
Sloppy wet weather beats driving on icy highways
After holiday driving, my new
favorite temperature is 34F or anything above freezing. I decided that
after dodging ice storms in North
Missouri as I returned to Columbia
skid free. As I left Princeton, headed
south, the big thermometer showed
32F.
Often Thanksgiving Day brings
the start of winter. In the week before,
forecasts I heard were for warm
weather. Some rain was possible. We got the rain. But a 30-degree
drop in temperatures brought ice.
I’ve been busy writing up heifer
sale stories right up ‘til time to go
on holiday. I failed to have my Ford
Fusion serviced, but modern technology on the car helped. The dashboard
alert showed: “Oil Change Soon.”
Without digital help, I’d have driven
on low oil.
Next morning I was first in line
at the dealership. As I paid, the clerk
asked where I was going for turkey
day. When I said “North,” she said.
“It’ll be icy up there.” That’s more
service than I needed.
In decades of driving covering
Extension stories, I learned to not
mess with ice. But, turkey, ham and
more called.
The weather wasn’t that bad in
Missouri. Iowa was worse. On turkey
day we spent more time watching weather radar than TV football.
That’s OK.
I know TV forecasters hype the
worst of their forecast. But I believed
their slippery news.
As heavy rain fell, the temps
dropped. At 29F, ice formed on the
elevated porch. But, warm earth kept
blacktop roads warm enough to prevent freezing. I gave thanks for warm
fall weather that kept the ground

unfrozen and roads clear.
However wet roads can be hazardous. The few big trucks on the
road sent up moving clouds of spray.
I try to avoid traffic crowds on
holidays. I left ahead of the rush.
Those of us on the road settled into
a go-with-the–flow pace. I dropped
back from a semi and its water cloud.
Driving was safe below the speed
limit at a pace set by the trucker.
Then a hot-rod driver came zipping around all of us. The very impatient young man in a little car saw
the moving cloud and not much else.
His little car zipped back in line, but
he remained antsy. He kept speeding
up to pass and then hitting his brakes
instead of just coasting. He was way
too close to the truck.
I backed off again. If the impatient
driver pulled a stupid stunt and began
driving sideways on wet pavement, I
didn’t want to participate.
Not long ago on I-70 in Columbia, a van driver in heavy rain passed
a semi -- and then started driving
sideways. The semi driver, swerved
to avoid the van, but couldn’t stay on
the road. He shot through the median
cables, hitting an eastbound semi
head on. Two people died in each cab.
I try to avoid impatient drivers in slick driving conditions. Lots
of people understand that and slow
down, keeping the pace, and not
dodging in and out. That works.
However heavy-footed drivers just
have to get on down the road.
The speed limit got me home safe.
But probably I get called an old-fool
driver who follows the speed limit.
My car dashboard is not that
modern, no Doppler. So, I stop at
McDonalds with Wi-Fi to refill my
Senior Cup and check my Android
screen. There the weather radar shows
from the Sanborn Field weather site.
The MU Extension climatologist
keeps a network of 24 counties across
Missouri.
A new one at Unionville gets
lots of hits, he says. It fills a need
in north Missouri and south Iowa.
From AgEBB network sites you can
scroll to nearby U.S. Weather Service
radars.
I figure it is safer looking at the
weather map from the fast-food joint
than driving down the highway. No
phone viewing while driving. I’m old
fashioned that way.

Gary Pinkel built a legacy at Mizzou
Mizzou fans wish that Gary Pinkel could
have gone out on a better note after the Tigers
lost their final two games of a frustrating football season. He deserved better. Coach Pinkel
brought Missouri back to glory after guiding
the Tigers to four divisional championships in
both the Big 12 and the Southeast Conference.
The 118 victories in his 15 years as the Tiger
head coach was the most in school history,
even eclipsing the legendary MU coaches Dan
Devine and Don Faurot.
I have to admit that I was a little disappointed
when Pinkel came to Mizzou from Toledo. Like
a lot of fans, I was hoping for a bigger name
than a coach who had labored in relative obscuring in a mid-major program. How quickly he
changed our minds. He quickly erased Mizzou’s losing tradition and built Mizzou into a
powerhouse program that ultimately proved
worthy to play in the toughest football conference in the country, the SEC, all the doubters to
the contrary. It was particularly gratifying that
Pinkel built the Mizzou program, as we know
it, by recruiting athletes from small Missouri
towns such as South Harrison’s three recruits,
Tyler Luellen and the Madison brothers, Ryan
and Brad. He also improved Missouri’s recruiting in Kansas City and St. Louis where many
Our own views
of the top players had previously opted to go
out of state, most notably to the Big 10 schools.
But Pinkel quickly reversed that trend by
consistently recruiting some of the top athletes
in the state and nationwide.
After retiring because of illness, it would
have been a storybook finish if Pinkel had been
able to take his final team to a bowl game. But
that didn’t happen and he nevertheless earned
a reputation as one of the finest coaches in
Mizzou history.—Phil Conger.
Giving thanks locally
One of the best things about living
in a small town is the real benefits of
a true community. Anyone who has
lived away from Bethany in a city
knows there isn’t really a community and I really believe folks who
live in a suburb or a city miss out on
a real quality of life that we enjoy
and sometimes take for granted. This
time of year we take time to give
thanks for the blessings the Lord has
bestowed upon us as Americans and
residents of a small town. I am of the
opinion that in general people want
to be generous and help their neighbor but this is amplified in a small
community. Anytime we have a local
event throughout the year, it is local
businesses and community folks who
step up to make it happen. Whether
it is the Bethany Fair, volunteering to
help on Halloween around the square
or take time on the Fourth of July to
provide a venue to celebrate our Independence.
My family and I along with the
Bethany Chamber of Commerce, the
Bethany Parks and Rec Department,
and many other volunteers had a great
time last year sponsoring a charitable function in conjunction with
lighting the Mayors Christmas Tree
and Christmas in the Park. Already
businesses have stepped forward
to help sponsor the event this year,
one to which our community owes a
big thank you for having sponsored
with time and resources many proj-
ects in Bethany over the last few
decades, Gumdrop Books. Without
even asking, they have stepped forward and offered to donate their time,
prizes, decorations and books for
children for the upcoming Christmas
event. These hometown grown busi-
for Gary Pinkel as coach of the Missouri Tigers as Arkansas won 28-3. It
felt like a game Tiger fans had already
seen several times this year; the
offense unable to score, the defense
digging in before ultimately buckling
in the face of a hopeless task.
It was like a car slowly being
crushed in a junkyard. Missouri
(5-7, 1-7 in SEC play) hung around,
but Arkansas (7-5, 5-3 in SEC) kept
pounding away with its run game and
turned the game into a rout.
A Razorback touchdown just
before halftime made it 21-3 and
seemingly put the game away. Many
fans of both schools headed for the
exits at halftime, in the face of a lopsided game and brutal weather.
Missouri had just 171 yards of
total offense and converted just 1
of 13 third down situations. Punter
Corey Fatoney set the record for most
punts in a Missouri season. It was
that kind of day.
It was that kind of season. Missouri closed the year with seven
straight SEC losses and scored just
five touchdowns in its eight SEC
games this year. Three of those came
in the first SEC game, against a
dreadful South Carolina team.
Pinkel finished 118-73 at Mizzou.
He went 64-61 against teams in his
conference, 48-8 in nonconference
games and 6-4 in bowls. There was
some symmetry to his 15 years; five
losing seasons, five seasons of 7 or
8 wins with 4-4 or 5-4 conference
records, and five seasons of doubledigit wins and finishing the season
ranked. Four times his Tigers played
for conference titles.
As of the beginning of the week,
Missouri was one of three SEC East
schools searching for a new head
coach, along with Georgia and South
Carolina. Missouri is a better job than

nesses are what make a community
strong.
In this day and age it is sometimes
easier to jump on the internet and
make orders for goods and services
than taking the time to utilize our
neighbors and local businesses for
work. I think it is especially important in today’s day and age to try and
keep our business local. If we sup-
port our own neighbors and friends
with business, it really benefits the
whole community. I think another
business, locally owned, should be
commended for going this extra mile
– Toot-Toot Restaurant. Their new
renovations look really outstanding
and they were made entirely by local
craftsmen and businesses. I am sure
it would have been far easier for the
Jennings family to jump online and
order a buffet from some manufacturer and have it shipped to their business. Instead they employed multiple
people with specialties from glass
installation to cabinetry to make a
major improvement.
I am very proud and humbled to be
elected to serve with your City Councilmen to navigate the 21st century
in small town America and hopefully
make our town as business friendly
as possible. If we do not, our kids
have no future in Bethany and I think
that would be a real tragedy. We have
so many opportunities to strengthen
Bethany and make improvements to
our business environment and government for the next generation. Running a city on cruise control, the same
way as it was done 40 years ago is not
going to strengthen our future - supporting our local businesses and helping the community will absolutely
grow our future. As always, feel free
to contact me with questions or concerns at City Hall, 425.3511.
Missouri ends season with loss at Arkansas

A look at Mizzou football.
The rain fell relentlessly from the
gray Arkansas sky on Black Friday,
stinging and cold as it pelted Missouri
fans in coats and ponchos tucked into
the visitors section of Donald W.
Reynolds Razorback Stadium. The
Ozark Mountains stretched out in a
dramatic, cloudy view from the upper
deck. In the distance, a road stretched
far to the horizon.
Down on the field, the road ended
when Pinkel took over 15 years ago.
The job certainly comes with
challenges. The SEC East may be
getting tougher, with Jim McElwain
immediately making Florida better
and Butch Jones pushing Tennessee
higher and higher. Vanderbilt and
Kentucky struggled this season, but
Missouri lost to both. It’s crazy how
rapidly this happened after back-toback SEC East titles, but the Tigers
have a lot of climbing to do. The
2016 schedule looks challenging.
As for the 2015 season, Missouri
remains a possibility for a bowl even
at 5-7. With not enough teams earning bowl eligibility, the NCAA will
need at least two 5-7 bowl teams, and
as many as five, based on Saturday’s
games. Missouri has a decent Academic Progress Rate and could be in
consideration. I’m not sure if Missouri would accept a bowl bid at that
point. Stay tuned.

It was brought to my attention that I
had Betty Ross listed in my birthdays
for December and her birthday is in
March, I believe. I’m sure she would
love to get a card from everyone, but
it isn’t her birthday yet so make that
a Christmas card! I do believer that
Betty Ray’s birthday is in December
and she would probably like a birthday card.

Food pantry opens at new location: Robert Skeens, president of the Harrison County Food Pantry Board, cuts
the ribbon opening the new location of the food distribution center on North 25th Street. The Bethany Chamber of
Commerce sponsored the ceremony on Nov. 24. The food pantry previously had operated in the Bethany MultiPurpose Center, which plans to relocate to the former RLDS Church. After the food pantry’s lease ran out, local
businessman Richard Easton offered the new location in the former Body Shop building. Volunteers remodeled the
building and installed freezers, shelves and counters to get ready for its opening earlier in the month.

Blessed Are
the Poor
in Spirit
It may seem odd that the very first of
the beatitudes bestows a blessing on
the poor in spirit and promises that the
kingdom of heaven is theirs (Matthew
5:3). Should we not seek spiritual riches
rather than spiritual poverty? One chapter
later we are told to store up treasure in
heaven, for “where your treasure is, there
your heart will be also” (Matthew 6:21).
The blessing for the poor in spirit is not
meant to denigrate spiritual treasures
but rather to elevate the spirit of poverty
and humility. Jesus says repeatedly that
he did not come to call those who are
already saved, but rather to save the lost.
The healthy do not need a doctor, but the
sick do. We would do well to remember
here that the scribes and Pharisees were
paradigms of virtue, rich in spirit and
proud of their piety, but, didn’t seem to
need or heed Jesus’s message. Jesus
had vastly more to offer the weeping
adulteress who was thrown at His feet
than he did to her accusers. And He had
more respect for the impoverished widow
who humbly put her two small coins in
the temple treasury than the wealthy who
made a show of putting in larger amounts.
God loves the poor, and those who are
poor in spirit even more, so we should
count it a blessing when we are feeling
lowly and humbled.
Be wretched and mourn and
weep. Let your laughter be turned
to mourning and your joy to gloom.
Humble yourselves before the
Lord, and he will exalt you.
James 4:9-10

Andover News
Margaret Gibson 878-6118
The weather has been a bit nasty
the last few days. I hope it is not a
taste of things to come.
Very sad to report the passing of
Cathy Bergman Nelson. She fought
a long, tough battle with cancer the
last six years and the Lord called her
home to rest the Friday morning after
Thanksgiving. Cathy was a longtime resident of the Andover community. She was always welcoming and
ready to care for people. She was an
excellent seamstress and numerous
people were the lucky recipients of
clothing of all kinds as well as quilts
and quilted pieces. Because of her
generous and caring nature, many
more than just her family called her
mom, grandma, or aunt and countless
called her friend. She will be greatly
missed by so many. Our thoughts and
prayers go out to the family. Services
will be at the Lamoni Community of
Christ Church on Saturday, December 5. Visitation will begin at 11:00
and the funeral service will be at 1:00.
Andover Community Club will
meet at the home of Larry and Linda
Wilcoxson on Friday, December 4 at
6:30 p.m.
Guests over the weekend with
Wallace and Doris Lane were Doris’
nephew Michael, Jessica, Isabella,
and Finn Davies of Chicago, Ill. Also Dustan, Debi, Katie Lou, and
Tyler Wilcoxson of Boone, Iowa, and
Dana Wilcoxson. Michael Davies
and family spent the week with Doris
and Wallace and Dana and Connie
Wilcoxson.
The deer season has been ongoing
and Ivan and Beth Lane shared lunch
with their grandsons Seth and Shelby
Lane during the season. No report on
whether or not any deer were bagged.
Monday supper guests with Wallace and Doris Lane were Dana and
Connie Wilcoxson, their grandchildren Katie Lou and Tyler Wilcoxson, Jill Brown and son Lincoln, and
Doris’ nephew Michael, Jessica, Isabella, and Finn Davies. The Davies
left on Saturday for the return trip
home to Chicago.
Liz Carpenter spent Thursday
through Saturday with her sister in
Kansas City. They met up with their
other sister and did some shopping on
Friday and Saturday mornings.
Saturday evening, Liz Carpenter,
along with 100+ others in the area
met at the Lamoni High School commons to listen to presidential candidate Ted Cruz. No matter what your
political leanings, every citizen needs
to keep informed. Even though the
election is a ways away, now is the
time to start listening and learning.
Have a good week, be kind to each
other, and you better be checking
your shopping list, only 23 more days
until Christmas.

New Hampton News
Sympathy is extended to the family
of Helen Youngman, who died on
Wednesday. Funeral services on
Monday at Roberson Funeral Home
with burial in Mt. Olivet Cemetery. Helen taught in a number of rural
schools and also at Bethany. She and
her husband, Kenneth, raised their
family on a farm southeast of New
Hampton. All five children attended
grade school here at New Hampton
and graduated from high school at
Bethany. The family were all active
in the Mitchelville Methodist Church
and the Mitchelville 4-H Club. I
remember the older three children
showing their 4-H dairy projects, I
don’t remember whether they had
Jersey or Brown Swiss cattle during
the mid 1950’s at the same time as
my husband and his brother Gerald
and sister Mary Belle Bennum
showed their 4-H Dairy Guernsey
cattle. Helen had a long, active and
useful life.
I received a message from Ralph
Schmude that Opal is now 103 plus
years. Those that made it to the party
enjoyed cake and punch prepared by
the Pleasant Manor Home and all
got back home safely. Weather was
not the least bit cooperative. She
received many cards and well wishes.
Ruth Ann Arkle visited Margie
Warner last Monday. Shirley McKinney and Wendy Baker visited her
Tuesday. Maria McKinney came
home Wednesday and spent the holiday with family, returning home Saturday evening.
Tom Lambert came Tuesday to
take Maudine Bennum for blood
work, which ended up with Maudine
at ER for a vitamin K shot. Tom
stayed with Maudine at her home
until daughter Pat came that evening
and spent the night with her. Tom
took Maudine back to be rechecked
Wednesday and all was much better. Survivors included step-daughters,
Jeanne Middleton of Huntington
Beach, Calif., Carolyn Stevens of
Grant City, Mo., Nina Woodward of
Colorado Springs, Colo., and Mary
Frazier of Bethany, Mo.
Also surviving is Edmund (Nina)
Taylor of Ridgeway, Mo.; Bill (Margaret) Hendrickson of Springdale,
Ark., and Geraldine Schuman of

Pets and Domestic Violence
Published as a Public Service
by the Bethany
Republican-Clipper
December 2015
Pets are a part of the family in many of American households. These animals are often treated like members
of the family, but if the family is experiencing violence, they can become targets as well.
· Threats against your animals by a violent partner is often a way of controlling you.
· In surveys of survivors entering shelters for protection from domestic violence, nearly half report
that their pet(s) has been threatened, injured, or killed by their partner. Others report that they
delayed leaving their homes because they feared that their pet would be hurt when they left.
We urge you to make plans to protect ALL members of your family including yourself, children, and pets.
If planning to stay:
o
o
o
o
o
Keep emergency provisions in case abuser withholds money
Keep phone number of nearest 24 hr vet clinic
Establish ownership with a paper trail (obtain city license, vet records in your name)
If planning to leave:
Obtain safe shelter for pet (vet, friend, family member, shelter if applicable)
Pack bag for pet including: food, meds, documents of ownership, health documents (vaccine records), leash, id & rabies
tag, toys, carrier, bedding
If you must leave without your pet, remember to leave food, fresh bedding, litter, etc.
· If you are in hiding:
o Keep pets indoors (if possible)
Don’t let pets outside alone
Pick a safe time and route to walk pet
o Don’t exercise / walk pet alone
Change your vet
If your pet has a GPS in collar, do not take with you.
Thanks to a Generous Donor We Can Offer Assistance for Temporary Pet Care
…… Don’t Leave Your Pets Behind!

Missouri deer harvest shows big increase
Preliminary data from the Missouri Department of Conservation
(MDC) shows that deer hunters in
Missouri harvested 189,938 deer
during the November portion of fall
firearms deer season, Nov. 14-24.
Of the 189,938 deer harvested,
92,020 were antlered bucks, 21,256
were button bucks, and 76,662 were
does. Top harvest counties were
Texas with 4,544 deer checked,
Howell with 4,046, and Franklin with
3,707.
Harrison County again led the
area with 1,995 deer taken during the
firearms season. This included 1,147
antlered deer, 165 button bucks and
683 does. Last year, the overall har-
vest in Harrison County was 1,718
deer.
Totals for neighboring counties
were 1,532 deer in Daviess County;
999 in Gentry County; 1,032 in
Grundy County; 1,278 in Mercer
County, and 663 in Worth County.
“Good weather and plenty of deer
activity likely are the reasons why
there was an increase in deer harvest
during the November portion of the
firearms deer season this year,” MDC
Deer Biologist Jason Sumners said.
MDC reported five firearmsrelated hunting incidents during the
fall firearms November portion. The
five incidents involved self-inflicted
firearm wounds and occurred in
Bulldog wrestlers primed
for another good season
South Harrison’s wrestling team
appears loaded this year for another
big season.
With four returning state wrestlers, Bulldog Coach Jake Rumpf has
high expectations for the 2015-16
season.
“We have a really good chance
to do something special this year,”
Rumpf said.
South Harrison opens the season
at the Polo Quadrangular on Thursday night, Dec. 3.
Austin Ward, who won the state
championship last season, will be
anchoring the team alongside state
runner up Kasey McFall. Two other
Bulldogs, Caleb Wooden and Mason
Doll, also qualified for state last
season. Ward and McFall are both
ranked at the top of their weight classifications in pre-season.
“We work really hard,” Rumpf
said of his team. “I don’t think there
is anyone that can match up with us
for hard work.”
The team has been concentrating
on takedowns during its early practices.
“We are very aggressive in style
and wear down our opponents,” the
coach said.

(Continued from last week.)
Services at the Eagleville UM
Church on Christ the King Sunday,

Pantry in Bethany. Pastor Gina said
we should be getting our Christmas
program planned for perhaps 12-13. There were joys and concerns and
prayer requests.
Scripture Reading was from John
18: 33-37. Pastor Gina’s sermon dealt
with our need to be thankful and to
pray for those who have less and
be aware of the needs of others and
be helpful. Benediction hymn was

The Eagleville UM Church members were invited to share services
at the Ridgeway UM Church to celebrate the beginning of Advent on
Sunday, 11-29. Their church has
an annual tradition of the children
decorating the altar with greens and
meaningful objects as the reading
explains all aspects of the presentation. At the end the Christmas tree is
illuminated. Advent week one reading followed by Sara Lucas as Mary
Cook lit the first candle in the Advent
wreath. Pastor Gina’s sermon was
titled «A Season of Anticipation».
Members of the Red Hats of

Cameron Regional awards scholarships
The Board of Directors of Cameron Regional Medical Center
(CRMC) recently announced North
Central Missouri College scholarship
recipients at the college in Trenton.
To qualify, students have to be
sophomores in their second year of
study in NCMC’s allied health program, with a history of strong academic accomplishments. Those who
are focusing their studies in specific areas of healthcare deemed by
CRMC to be in short supply may be
given selection priority. This year’s winners are: Bridgette
Blair – Kidder (Trenton ADN),
Kaleigh Dixon – Chillicothe (Trenton ADN), Jessica Lykins – Bethany
(Trenton ADN), Bobbi Hanrahan
– Cameron (Trenton ADN Online),
Stephen Nixdorf – Hamilton (Trenton
ADN), LaWana Wright – Cainsville

Brooke McAtee, NCMC Director
of Nursing and Health Sciences stated
“North Central Missouri College’s
nursing programs are fortunate to
have formed a strong partnership with
Cameron Regional Medical Center
(CRMC). The partnership between
NCMC and CRMC is unique. Cameron Regional not only provides nursing students with valuable clinical
experience—CRMC also encourages
student success. Cameron Regional
Medical Center has provided rooms
in the hospital for students and faculty to tutor and practice their skills. “CRMC has proven yet again
that they will continue to support
our students, not only in the clinical setting, but also in the academic
setting through scholarship funding. In turn, we will continue to provide
them with safe and competent nurses
who are trained and able to provide
quality care at the bedside. NCMC
thanks CRMC for their continued
partnership and support.”

(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.)

Results announced for I-35 state
patrol special enforcement
operation over holiday weekend
Captain James E. McDonald,
commanding officer of Troop H, St.
Joseph, announces the results of the
special enforcement operation over
the Thanksgiving Day weekend. The
project encompassed two days--November 25, 2015, and November 29,
2015--designated as the peak travel
days for the holiday period. Interstate
35 was the roadway designated for
this project and troopers were each
assigned a 20-mile stretch of the
interstate from the Clinton County
line to the Iowa state line. Troopers
also were assigned to saturate high
crash locations on U.S. highways
within Troop H. As a result of the
project, officers issued 105 citations
and 221 warnings.
“Troopers were out in force over
the Thanksgiving Day weekend and
their vigorous enforcement efforts
along with increased visibility helped
keep Missouri motorists safe while
traveling through Troop H,” stated
Captain McDonald.
Approximately 63 percent of
Missouri fatal crash victims who are
required to be restrained are NOT
at the time of the traffic crash. The
Patrol urges motorists to protect
themselves and their passengers by
making sure everyone in the vehicle
is properly restrained in a seat belt or
child restraint. Join us in supporting
the Drive To Zero Highway Deaths.

Fireman Mark Skeens honored for saving life
Mark Skeens, a 1992 graduate of South Harrison High
School, son of Bob and Jenny
Skeens of Bethany, was promoted to the rank of Captain
in an official ceremony held at
the headquarters of the North
Kansas City Fire Department
on November 19th. In addition
to receiving his official badge
Skeens was awarded the lifesaving commendation for his
direct role in saving the life of
a citizen in May of this year.
Mark Skeens began his
career in the fire service serving the communities of Bethany and later Trenton, Mo., as
a career firefighter prior to his
accepting a position with the
North Kansas City Fire Department in January of 2005 as a
Firefighter Paramedic.
Captain Skeens has served
as a progressive member of the
North Kansas City Fire Department. Mark serves as a Hazardous Materials Technician
on the Hazmat team, He is a
certified technical rope rescue
instructor, is a member of the
training committee, hiring
committee, technical rescue
committee, and is the director
of the CPR educational pro-
gram.
On May the 7th 2015, Mark
began his new role as the captain on engine 905. Engine 905
is an ALS rescue pumper that
responds to over 1,800 emergency calls for service each
year from Station 1 located at
Armour and Howell streets in
North Kansas City. Engine 905
serves a heavily industrial district that has a daytime population of up to 60,000 workers
and sees nearly 190,000 automobiles travel through its district each day.
Skeens is quoted as saying,
“True satisfaction comes from
serving others. This is a principal that was molded to me
through my parents and the
community I grew up in. It is
a tremendous privilege to be
serving in fire service. It is the
perfect mechanism to accomplish my goals of serving
others.”
Mark was given the opportunity to select someone who
had a significant impact on his
life to place his promotional
badge. Skeens chose his long
term friend and mentor in the
fire service, retired Bethany
Fire Chief John Gannan to

place his promotional badge.
Skeens stated, “It was such
an honor to have Chief Gannan
participate in my promotional
process. It was only fitting that
he be a part of this event. “Although the fire service
has evolved significantly to
meet the needs of the public in
the past 10 years, the core fundamentals that I learned from
Chief Gannan I still use from

DeKalb County incident
An armed man involved in a domestic disturbance in DeKalb County was
