Paying it forward:
Missouri River Bluff Run
Josh Hall and Jade Sybert, college friends
and motorcycle enthusiasts, know well how
a community rallies in support when one of
their own is in need.
“When Rhett got sick back in September, a
lot of people helped out,” Hall said.
Hall’s son, Rhett, had been suffering from
headaches; the family took him to the doctor
and discovered that a tumor had grown on
Rhett’s brain. There were also spots on his
spine. Rhett had cancer.
Mound City residents united to help. The
White Rose restaurant hosted a pancake feed
and live auction; camo T-shirts, emblazoned
with “Team Rhett: We’ve got you covered,”
were sold; and Mound City R-2 focused on
the then sixth grader by making his favorite
things a theme of the Christmas Door Decorating Contest. He also lead the Panthers onto
the field at the start of the Homecoming football game.
Rhett, who Hall said finished his final treatment on Wednesday, June 4, is “doing good.”
He spent some time at Camp Quality, which
is designed specifically for children with cancer, and he’ll enroll in seventh grade next
year.
“He missed school,” Hall said, explaining that Rhett had to be homeschooled while
he was enduring chemotherapy treatments.
“He’ll go see his friends.”
As for Hall’s friend, Sybert and his family dealt with a similar blow: doctors found a
tumor on Sybert’s daughter, Carsyn’s, spine,
just near the base of her skull.
“It was a two-year ordeal,” Sybert said.
Carsyn had surgery and chemotherapy
treatments at a hospital in Omaha, Neb., but
Sybert said “none of them worked.” Carsyn
needed a special kind of surgery. The family flew to Seattle, Wash., for three weeks for
Carsyn to meet with a doctor who could perform the procedure to extract the tumor.
“[They] removed it all,” Sybert said.
The now 10-year-old Carsyn, Sybert added, missed quite a bit of school, but she was
able to stay caught up at home.
“She’s doing just fine,” he said.
Like Hall, Sybert received assistance from
the Rock Port, Mo., community to pay for
Carsyn’s needs, especially the trips to Omaha
and Seattle.
“It helped tremendously,” Sybert said.
Now, Hall and Sybert want to pay the help
they received forward. On Saturday, June
21, the two are hosting Missouri River Bluff
Run: Cure for Kids, a poker run and hog roast
fundraiser; all of the proceeds will go toward
families who have children with cancer. The
idea for the benefit was a natural one for the
two riders.
“I ride a bike and do a lot of poker runs,”
Hall said. “I’d like to pay the people back that
helped us.”
Sybert agreed: “We’re giving back to people since they helped us.”
The poker run will start with registration
at 10 a.m. at Mound City’s White Rose restaurant, which will donate $1 for every buffet
meal to the cause. Kickstands go up at noon,
and the route will be about 110 miles. Stops
include Black Iron Grill in Rock Port, Mo.,
TJ’s in Brownville, Neb., Centerfield in Shubert, Neb., Wouldeye’s in Falls City, Neb.,
and Wild Bill’s in Rulo, Neb. The last stop
will be the Hall family’s shed, where a hog
roast will be waiting.
The meal, Hall’s mom, Annie Hall, explained, will have a whole hog and pulled
pork, Texas taters, three kinds of salad, baked
beans and homemade desserts. D.J.s will be
on hand for entertainment, and there will be
an auction with community-donated items,
including a Tri-Star 12-gauge shotgun and
50-year 10-22 rifle, craft and beauty items,
alcohol, and tickets to the Across the Border
Raid Rally and the Rumble by the Refuge
Truck and Tractor Pull. Parking is limited,
but there will be a shuttle available at John
Deere (Hiawatha Implement) in Mound City
to take attendees back and forth from the
event.
“The public is invited to the meal,” Annie
Hall said. “Everyone is encouraged to come.”
So far, Josh Hall and Sybert have had more
than 50 people preregister, though numbers
continue to climb. For the two, the figures are
a sign that they’ll be able to pay it forward as
much as they can.
“[We want] to help others,” Sybert said.

State Theater Camp sets
the stage for budding thespians
On the first day of State Theater Camp, Monday, June 2, the baker’s dozen of students gathered in the green room of the theater in Mound City.
“How many of you have done theater before?” Ginny Smith, State Theater Board-appointed
director, asked.
A few of the students raised their hands, but not one said a word.
After pulling sentences from the camp participants, Smith led the group on a tour of the
theater (“Those are the dressing rooms,” “In this room we build our sets,” “Backstage, wings,
aisles, all of which can be used during a performance”) before initiating a series of games designed to draw out personalities and play on theater technique. By the middle of the session,
each formerly shy actor was laughing and smiling, twirling and striding across the stage.
“The kids are great,” Smith said a week later on Wednesday, June 11, before a dress rehearsal.
“They’ve improved a lot.”
According to Smith, the emphasis of the camp, aside from the technical aspects of theater,
like lights and sound, costumes and makeup, was countering lines with appropriate responses.
“The biggest focus was on reacting on stage, not just acting out their own lines,” she said.
Two days later, on Friday, June 13, the campers, now the cast of “No Show,” by Alan Haehnel, lined up on the dark stage.
“Okay, the lights are off to encourage us to stay in our

Korey Miles, Mound City R-2 principal
Mound City’s Miles named
“Emerging New Principal”
Korey Miles, Mound City R-2
high school principal, was recently named “Emerging New
Principal” by the northwest district of the Missouri Association
of Secondary School Principals
(MASSP).
“It’s an honor,” Miles said,
who added that he was surprised
by the recognition.
Miles, however, may be the
only one who finds the honor unexpected.
“It’s well deserved,” Mound
City R-2 Superintendent Ken
Eaton said. “He’s done an excellent job.”
The award is open to new principals — those who have held the
position between one and three
years — who have displayed a
number of qualities.
“[He] demonstrates a positive
impact on education and advocacy for students, ensures the
school climate is positive and
reflects high staff and student
morale, [and] demonstrates creativity and imagination in bringing about positive change,” Phil
Lewis, director of programming
for MASSP, wrote to Mound
City News. “[He’s also] willing to take risks to improve student learning... [he] anticipates
emerging problems and acts effectively to resolve them [and]
actively involves the community
in the life of the school.”
In short, the winning principal
strives for excellence and positivity. Korey Miles, Eaton confirmed, does.
“He’s highly organized,” Eaton said, “and his communication skills with all groups of
people are very good.”
For Miles, who is in his second year as principal (he previously worked as a junior high
science teacher for seven years
at Mound City R-2), the credit
goes to the school: “The culture...and climate...of our school
is very good. It’s not necessarily
what I’ve done, [but] that type
of culture is something that I’m
proud of.”
He went to say, “Being selected by my peers means a lot.”

Letter to the editor
On Tuesday, Aug. 5, voters will be able to decide many key issues. One of these issues that is very important to me and our area is Constitutional Amendment 1, better known as Right to Farm. Growing up
on a farm in Nodaway County, I learned the importance of the family
farm and agriculture in Missouri. I still own and operate the farm I
was raised on. Right to Farm will protect our state’s largest industry,
along with protecting the hardworking Missouri families who feed
people across America. If passed, Right to Farm will permanently
protect the rights of farmers and ranchers to engage in farming and
ranching practices by securing farming as an unalienable right similar to speech, gun rights and freedom of the press. Right to Farm is
crucial to ensure the long-term outlook of agriculture in Missouri.
Amendment 1 will create the certainty necessary for agriculture to
prosper and grow in Missouri. It will also help guarantee that our future generations can continue to farm and ranch across our great state.
A yes vote on Amendment 1 will support Missouri farm families, consumer choice and ensure farmers have the right to farm and ranch.
-Roger Parshall, business owner, farmer,
candidate for State Representative

Remembering
“Good Old Days”
When driving around with a grandson
where I was raised, between Big Lake
and the Missouri River (Arkansas), I had
many memories come back, reminding
me of the simple, sensible, happy times I
spent there growing up. The area, though
only about two miles wide and three
miles long, was home to 31 families during that time, just before World War II,
which changed everything. We raised almost everything to eat, raised and butchered our own meat, as most all of those
31 families had several children who
could attend our own church and school
there within walking distance. Others just
outside the community would also attend
both church and school, if they desired.
It sure was strange to see hardly any
houses, no barns, gardens, livestock, people, hayfields, fences, not many trees, all
this in a short span of time. It is that way
almost everywhere now. From a thriving
community filled with families growing
up independent of most of what is going
on today to an area now filled with “cash
crops” and irrigation systems. Easy to see
what a gentleman told me the other day;
he said the difference between a farmer
and one who farms is that the farmer
farms for the love of the land and existence, and the other farms only for profit.
I didn’t totally agree with that. Me, I did
By Eugene Poynter
kind of like the old days on the farm.
Driving along in an air-conditioned
car with all the great advances — power
steering, power brakes, adjustable seats,
power windows, great radio, automatic
transmission — I felt was a great improvement from the cars we had. The
old ones were OK. Even though they
had none of the above, there weren’t any
recalls on them and not as many on the
road. As least we made all of our automobiles in America. That’s probably why
we didn’t have any recalls. Some day we
may get to do that again. No one could
have ever guessed that there would be so
many automobiles on the road today. It’s
easy to see why we are so dependent on
the OPEC nations for oil. The cars back
then may not have had all of the features
like today, but with just a little help, they
could sure run. Our goals were to hop
them up to the point where we exceeded
the suspension and steering capabilities,
and we would stop there. No fun with
those of today. Probably our fuel consumption wasn’t bad, for all the engine
back then had to do was drive the auto. It
didn’t have all the extras now. Of course,
we can’t do without any of those today.
How long and how expensive would it
take and be if one was built new again
today? Forget it, just find an old one and
restore with parts from China or some
other country. It did take some skill to use
the clutch, start off without jerking and
jumping the car and not look around to
see if anyone was watching.
I showed my grandson where I spent a
few nights in the ditch coming home from
a date, when it had rained and still was.
It was always in almost the same spot, on
the ditch on the right side of the road, the
one at the “Dan Sapp” crossing, the second railroad crossing from Rhodes Hole,
west toward Rulo. Back then, we had
gentle rains, not the destructive ones like
today, and I’d just curl up on the seat and
try to sleep until daylight. I’d walk the
rest of the way home in time for breakfast and a few lessons from Dad, then the
hired man and I would go down, get the
car out of the ditch and resume a normal
life again. There was never any damage
done to the cars. I know the folks were
worried about me and were always happy
that I didn’t walk the rest of the way in
the dark and rain. I told my grandson, if
I had one of these big four-wheel drive,
high-powered pickups of today, I could
have plowed my way home and probably
threw half the road over the field.
Just be happy like we are, sometime
things like today will be somebody else’s
“Good Old Days.” Oh, hey, we’ve got
to get ready for another old-fashioned
Fourth of July. See you at the fireworks.
Mound City Kiwanis Club celebrates 50 years
The Kiwanis Club of Mound
City celebrated 50 years of
community service on Sunday,
June 1, with a dinner at the
shelter house at Griffith Park in
Mound City, but members also
took time to reflect on the club’s
history.
The club’s membership drive
started on May 21, 1964, with
members of the Fairfax Kiwanis Club, in conjunction with
Lieutenant Governor Lou Renfrow of the Chillicothe Kiwanis
Club, circulating petitions for
signature; Kiwanis International required a minimum of
25 members for the charter of
a new club. Eight days later, on
May 29, a group of 39 members
— businessmen who wanted to
make an impact on their community — chartered the Mound
City Kiwanis Club.
The charter night, with 230
in attendance, was on June 19,
1964, at the “Old School Gym”
in Mound City. A popular anecdote of that night relates Dr.
McRae contacting every delegation to request that they remain silent on the third stanza of
“Clementine.” The message was
given to everyone except Carson McCormack, who always
mustered a lot of enthusiasm
when singing old songs. When
the song progressed to the first
line of the third stanza, only one
voice could be heard.
Bill Clark, then Mound City
School superintendent, was
elected as the first club president from 1964 to 1965. He was
followed by presidents Hugh
Wallace (1966) and Max Benne
(1967). The original meetings
were on Wednesdays at the
Presbyterian Church. (The total
cost of a meal then was $1.50,
dessert and drinks included.)
The first Kiwanis project took
place soon after incorporation.
The postal department came out
with an order threatening to cut
off or limit the city mail delivery service, so Kiwanis, under
Committee Chairman Robert
M c C r o r y,
sponsored
a project to
see that all
residences
were
numbered. Work was quickly
completed with each able-bodied Kiwanian covering a few
blocks. The Kiwanis Club also
sponsored an oral polio vaccine
Tiffany Heights Nursing Home
program for Holt County on
Aug. 11, 1965.
Another noteworthy project
the club undertook was the construction of
the existing
shelter house
on the north
end of town;
the building
was completed as a joint
venture with
the Mound City Lions Club. As
a second anecdote from club
history, sometime after the construction of the shelter house,
the Kiwanis Club planned a fundraising project, with a feed to
take place at the shelter house.

beel of the Methodist Church
and Pastor Clarence Smith of
the Presbyterian Church, were
in charge of starting the fire for
the feed. One of the pastors had
planned to start the fire early
that morning, while the other
planned to check it later that
afternoon. Apparently, the fire
starter was a bit overzealous and
created a raging inferno. By the
time the second pastor arrived,
the shelter house was on fire.
Luckily, someone called the fire
department, and the club had the
foresight to insure the building.
The records state that “when repairs were made, fireproof materials were used.”
It is fitting, then, that the Kiwanis Club decided to have a
dinner at the shelter house to
celebrate its 50th anniversary.

Kansas man arrested after
chase in Holt, Atchison counties
James J. Elston, 38, of Lawrence, Kan., was arrested at
1:35 a.m. on Monday, June 9,
in Atchison County after a highspeed chase that originated in
Holt County.
According to local reports,
Holt County Deputy Adam
James attempted to stop Elston
for a traffic violation, but Elston
allegedly took off on Interstate
29 near Mound City. He reportedly then rammed his car into
James’, causing extensive damage; James was uninjured but
was taken to an area hospital as
a precaution.
Missouri State Highway Patrol officers arrested Elston and
placed him in the Holt County
Jail in Oregon, Mo. Elston was
later transferred to the Andrew
County Jail in Savannah, Mo.
Elston was charged with assaulting a law enforcement officer (a Class B felony) and resisting arrest by fleeing (a Class D
felony). St. Joseph News-Press
reported that Elston was being
held on a $250,000 bond.
The Omega Club met Tuesday, June 10, at the home of Marjorie Yocum in Mound City, Mo.

River levels go down
after storm
After the storm on Tuesday, June 3, which saw wind
damage, half dollar-sized hail and rain, water levels of the
Missouri and Tarkio rivers rose significantly. As reported in
Mound City News, the Missouri Department of Natural Resources recorded the Missouri River near Rulo, Neb., had
swollen to nearly 20 feet, and the Tarkio River near Fairfax,
Mo., was close to 24 feet.
As of Monday, June 16, the Missouri River has dropped
to around 11 feet, and the Tarkio River was down to just
under seven feet.
Given the amount of storms north of Missouri on Monday
evening, however, the National Weather Service is forecasting a rise, though not to flood level.

From left to right, Gini Low, Bob Jackson and Debbie
Gleason - Stand for portrait at the MHA Leadership Forum in
Branson, Mo., on Thursday, June 12. Low and Gleason were
honored at this year’s conference for completing the excellence
in governance program; Jackson completed the program and
received a certificate last year.
CH-F board members
receive certificates
The Missouri Hospital Association (MHA) recently awarded
Governance Excellence certificates to Gini Low and Debbie Gleason, board members of
Community Hospital-Fairfax in
Fairfax, Mo., to acknowledge
their completion of its new voluntary educational program for
hospital board members. Low
and Gleason were honored
Thursday, June 12, at the MHA
Leadership Forum in Branson,
Mo.
The
Governance
Excellence Certificate Program was
launched in 2011 to enhance hospital trustees’ skills and provide
them with increased knowledge
of issues in hospital governance
to help them make effective decisions for their organizations.
“Hospitals are complex organizations,” said Herb B. Kuhn,
MHA president and CEO. “To
add value to decisions about
hospital operations and support
a hospital’s work in the community, a trustee must have a thorough understanding of a range
of responsibilities in governance
practices and the integration of
the hospital’s mission and val-
ues. The Governance Excellence
Certificate Program is designed
to expand trustees’ knowledge
base and provide enhanced decision-making skills.”
To complete the certificate
program, trustees were required
to attend a day-long session at
MHA’s annual convention in
November 2013 and complete
six of eight independent study
modules. The 28 certificate recipients recognized June 12
serve as trustees at 15 Missouri
hospitals.
Community Hospital-Fairfax
is a non-profit, critical access
hospital serving northwest Missouri. Low and Gleason serve as
members of the hospital’s volunteer Board of Directors.
The Missouri Hospital Association is a not-for-profit association in Jefferson City that represents 153 Missouri hospitals.
In addition to representation and
advocacy on behalf of its membership, the association offers
continuing education programs
on current health care topics and
seeks to educate the public, as
well as legislative representatives, about health care issues.

Bette Williams to be honored
with lifetime achievement award
Bette Williams of Oregon,
Mo., is a well-known figure
in Holt County, but her influence and reputation have spread
throughout northwest Missouri;
on Thursday, June 19, Williams
will be one of two women honored with the 2014 YWCA
Women of Excellence Lifetime
Achievement Award at Civic
Arena in St. Joseph, Mo.
As reported in St .Joseph
News-Press in late May, Williams has a number of accomplishments under her belt: she
is an active member of P.E.O.,
the Holt County Republican
Club, the Happy Homes Club,
the Fourth District Past Presidents Parley and the Oregon
United Methodist Church; she
has been an American Legion
Auxiliary member for almost
seven decades, and the organization presented her with the Chapel of Four Chaplains award;
she was the grand marshal of
the Holt County Autumn Festival; she was named one of “20
who count” by St. Joseph NewsPress; she won the Kansas City
Royals’ Buck O’Neil award in
2012; and she has become the
face of Holt County Government
Day, which was renamed “County Government Day/Bette Williams Day in her honor in 2007.
Her devotion was clear at the
2014 Holt County Government
Day in mid-March.
“I love young people,” Williams said. “I love our country...
We need to impress on our kids
how wonderful the [county government] is.”
At the time, Williams was presented with a plaque, “American
Legion Auxiliary: Bette Williams, 60 Years, Holt County
Government Day,” to be hung
on the Oregon Courthouse wall;
her response: “Isn’t that wonderful?”
Now that the near-nonagenarian is receiving a lifetime achievement award, the only response is,
“Isn’t that wonderful?”

The Holt County Historical Society is
looking for answers to these questions
that have been submitted by researchers.
CRAIG CHURCH QUESTION?
Is this the building that is now the Craig Church of God? This photo given to
the society some time ago was identified as being the "other" Craig Methodist
Church. There was a Craig Methodist South congregation in Craig. That building was moved to Fortescue in 1953 and is now the Holt County Historical Society
Museum. Was this photo the Craig Methodist Church North at one time? Dorothy
Lovelady, Valley Center, Calif., who grew up in Craig, visited the Genealogy Center
recently while in Holt County, and efforts were made to try to identify both Methodist Church buildings in Craig and where they were located.
ABOUT THE MOUND CITY LUMBER YARD
David Jackson had inquired about the lumberyard that was located about where
Laukemper's is now. Mary Rockwell remembered that her uncle Fred Diggs worked
in that lumberyard. He was a carpenter and made several pieces of furniture for her
and her family. It is believed to have been in operation in the early ‘50s. Still trying
to find out the name of the business or who owned it. And a photo maybe!
REMEMBER HEARING ABOUT AN OREGON OPERA HOUSE?
The society is searching history books to find where the
Oregon Opera House was located and when.
If anyone has any information about any of these items, please call 660-442-5949.

COMMUNITY
More than 50 people
attend Bellevue reunion
The 87th Bellevue Reunion, with 53 in attendance,
was held Saturday, June 7,
in the fellowship hall of the
Mound City United Methodist
Church.
Planning for the reunion
started early; the night before,
Judy and John Long, Lillian
and Denny Wright, Linda and
Ernest Hester, Donna and
Roger Heck and B.P. Sharp
decorated the hall. Each table
held bulldogs, and each setting had an orange marigold
as a gift to the attendee.
The event kicked off with
the Pledge of Allegiance, and
Ernest Hester gave the invocation. The SOS ladies of the
United Methodist Church then
served the meal, which they
prepared.
To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the last graduating class of Bellevue, Lillian
Wright prepared and presented a slideshow, which had the
composite pictures of each
graduating class (with the
exception of the years 1919,
1920, 1921, 1926, 1927, 1928
and 1932). Also included were
pictures of school activities
and candid shots of past reunions. Wright composed a
book and CD of the slideshow,
as well, which were for sale at
the reunion.
Following Wright’s presentation, President Judy Long
led the business meeting. Nadine Hendrix, Class of 1937,
was the oldest present, and
Dorothy Lovelady, Class of
1939, had traveled the far-
thest, from California. Long
presented both with an orange
rose. She also honored 13 servicemen, John Long, Roger
Heck, Dwight Pruitt, Harold
Hendrix, Gene Miller, Wayne
Heck, Frank Siekman, Tom
Kennish, Don Wright, Frank
Smith, Joe Bowens, Harold
Bruntmyer and Bill Metzgar,
with a mug of candy and a
flag. Finally, Long recognized
Wright for her dedication of
keeping the Bellevue memorabilia and preparing the slideshow; Wright received a wallhanging quilt with a picture of
Bellevue school on it.
Long then thanked the officers, Ernest Hester, vice
president, and Donna Heck,
secretary/treasurer, and the
volunteers for their help.
As for next year’s reunion,
attendees voted for the same
place (the Mound City United
Methodist Church) and time
(6:30 p.m.). Attendees also
approved the minutes and
treasurer’s report.
The officers for next year
will be: Ernest Hester, president; Janice Rosier, vice president; and Lillian Wright, secretary/treasurer.
The evening wrapped with
former students reminiscing
about school days, class trips
and carnivals and plays.

State Theater Camp sets the
stage for budding thespians
From the front page
thanael Markt, said. “As you go
through the exercises, just focus
on your internal processes. What
does your body feel like as you
stretch? Are you holding in any
tension? Let’s begin with the
neck and work our way down the
body, relaxing as you go. Keep
your eyes closed to help you focus on just you, nobody else.”
Then the stage lights came on,
revealing each confident thespian.
“I really enjoy it,” Sophia
Richards, 13, said of the camp.
“It’s fun to learn about theater
and put on a performance, getting the experience of doing it.”
Courteney Gordon, 11, agreed:
“I wanted to learn more about
theater.”
Gordon’s favorite part of camp
was practicing for the performance. Judging by the applause
and cheers at the conclusion of
Friday’s show, she and her fellow actors (Markt, Richards,

acting and reacting, on the first day of camp, Monday, June 2,

Preparing for canning season
With gardens finally taking off,
now is a good time to look ahead
to the harvest and think about
food preservation.
First, if there are low acid foods
to be preserved, such as green
beans or other vegetables, a pressure canner is required to safely
can them. Before canning this
season, have the dial pressure
gauge on the canner checked for
accuracy. In northwest Missouri,
any county University of Missouri (MU) Extension office can
test the gauge. This will ensure
that the pressure on the gauge —
and in the canner — is what is expected and that the food is being
heated to the temperature needed
to kill any microorganisms that
can cause food-borne illnesses or
death.
Also, before the canning starts,
consider the type of stove that
will be used. Ceramic- or glasstop stoves have become very
popular but may not be appropriate for canning. Like all electric stoves, a glass top’s burners
come on and off during cooking.
Unique to a glass-top stove, however, is its added safety feature.
To prevent overheating of the
surface, and thus damage to the
stove, the cooktop senses when
too much heat has built up under a pot and shuts off. It is not
just going through the normal on/
off cycle but fully shuts off until
the stovetop cools. Pressure canning and boiling water canning
involve a long enough and hot
enough process for this safety
shutoff to occur before processing
is complete, leaving the partially
canned food unsafe for storage at
room temperature. Although there
may be some glass-top stoves that
work for canning, most do not.
Check the manufacturer’s recommendations for details.
As in seasons past, there are lots
of new items being marketed this
year, including a variety of lids
and jars. For one-piece lids, reusable lids, jars with clamp-down
lids, other “new” jars and lids,
little or no research has been done
by an independent source, so the
National Center for Home Food
Preservation does not recommend
these for home canning. Instead,
it continues to recommend the
use of two-piece lids and mason-
type jars designed specifically for
canning. The two pieces of these
lids include a single-use metal flat
with a ring of colored gasket compound and a metal screw band or
ring that can be reused as long as
it remains in good condition.
“Regular and wide-mouth Mason-type, threaded, home-canning
jars with self-sealing lids are the
best choice,” the Center’s website
recommends. “When jars and lids
are used properly, jar seals and
vacuums are excellent, and jar
breakage is rare.”
More specific information on
recommended jars and lids can
be found in the MU Extension
Publication GH1452, “Quality for
Keeps: Steps to Success in Home
Canning.”
For more information on other
recommendations before canning,
or any other topic, contact me, Janet Hackert, at (660) 425-6434 or
[email protected], or your
local University of Missouri Extension office.

COMMUNITY
Board of Aldermen talks street repair
The Mound City Board of Aldermen met Tuesday, June 10,
to discuss various city issues,
including the street department
project.
Mayor Chris Krueger reported that McFadden Construction
assessed some of the streets that
have not had an asphalt overlay
in the last few years; Mill Street
and the block of Grand Avenue
between Mound and Nebraska
streets have multiple areas that
need maintenance patching.
McFadden stated that patching
would take care of the immediate problem, but any prep work
should be completed before
a future asphalt overlay project. McFadden noted as well
that 26,923 square feet need
the aforementioned patching;
currently, the budget for street
maintenance is $75,000. Mayor
Krueger asked that the Council consider the areas marked
for improvement as some are
questionable and may not need
work right now. He added that
McFadden agreed to work with
the city on the issue. If the city
purchases hot patch and has city
workers lay it down, McFadden’s crews would run over it;
McFadden estimated 3,000 to
4,000 linear feet would be sufficient to seal the cracks that are
taking water in the parking lots
and new streets. The issue will
be further discussed at the July
meeting.
In other street department
news, the Council voted to accept a $1,434 bid from Knapheide for 14-inch side rails and
a tailgate for the city’s 2013
Dodge 1 Ton truck. Additionally, parking along the west side
of State Street between 5th and
6th streets will be blocked from
10 a.m. to noon on Saturday,
June 21, for the Missouri River
Bluff Run-Ride to benefit youth
with cancer.
Chief Panning from the police department appeared before
the Council to discuss his attendance at upcoming training conferences. He also spoke about
brake issues on the 2012 Chevy
Impala, and he reminded the
Council that the police officer
position is still vacant. He has
completed a background check
on one applicant and is awaiting
clearance from POST. He will
schedule an interview with the
applicant soon. He added that
he has two outstanding applications, as well.
For the water department,
Mayor Krueger reported that
the JD 310A backhoe is not being used and should be sold; the
Council will advertise locally
for bids.
With the park and pool department, Clerk Patsy Smith
requested that Stuart Disposal
empty the Griffith Park dumpster twice a week until it is removed in November as residents
are using it. Pool admission fees
have also been changed; the
Council decided to eliminate the
25-swim punch pass, and children age 3 and under, not 4 and
under, may swim for free. The
10-swim punch pass appears
to be a success so far. For the
pool roof, materials have been
delivered, but work has yet to
start, though the contractor has
indicated he will complete the
work in the mornings before the
pool opens. Finally, Jeff Karsten
of J&E Concrete will attend the
July meeting to discuss the retaining walls around City Hall
park.
The Council moved to accept
Bill No. 6-10-2014(1): Adopt
Budget for Fiscal Year Beginning July 1, 2014. The budget
includes a 3-percent salary increase for full-time employees
and suspends reimbursements
for interfund loans from the
Capital Improvement Fund in
order to allocate $75,000 for
street maintenance. The bill,
which passed, was duly numbered Ordinance #1238. The
Council also moved to accept
Bill No. 6-10-2014(2): Approve
Property Damage Release with
CenturyLink, Inc. The bill,
which refers to the settlement
of claims between the two involving damages to city-owned
properties on or near Nebraska Street and 8th Street, was
passed and duly numbered Ordinance #1239.
All appointments — the expired terms of Adam Johnson,
Denise Newcomb and Charlie
Clodfelter of the Mound City
Public Library Board and the
vacancy of Richard Barrett on
the Board of Zoning Adjustment — were tabled for the July
meeting.
City Attorney Brian Tubbs
reported that, as far as he knew,
the property at 106 E. 7th St.
was on track to start cleanup. He
hasn’t heard anything further on
the matter.
With reference to administration issues, the City is waiting
on a quote from Art White &
Associates for an audit for the
year ending June 30, 2014. The
Council then reviewed financial
reports, and Smith reported a
large savings of the annual assessment from Missouri Intergovernmental Risk Management Association (MIRMA)
due to a loss experience credit.
The 2015 fiscal year premium of
$21,567 is $10,000 less than last
year. Continuing the discussion
on finances, the Council agreed
to draft an ordinance to increase
pay for the mayor from $100
per month to $150 per month
and for the Council from $75
per regular meeting to $100 per
regular meeting. Special meetings for the Council will remain
the same at $50. The increases
will not be effective until after
re-election.
Holt County Clerk Kathy J.
Kunkel appeared before the
Council to discuss Clerk State
SB593, which allows cities with
populations of less than 1,000
to not hold an election when
there are the same number of
candidates as open positions. As
Mound City has a population of
more than 1,000, the city cannot take advantage of the new
law, but it could significantly
increase election costs.
Mayor Krueger stated that
the person hired to shoot off
fireworks on Saturday, July 5,
backed out. Someone else was
hired, but the only date he was
available was Thursday, July 3.
As a result, the fireworks display will take place on July 3,
but the parade will still be Friday, July 4.
Police Chief Panning reported that he started with 76
city sticker violations and went
door-to-door to notify those
individuals. He is now issuing
citations to those who have not
complied.
Finally, special guests at the
meeting were Josiah Foust from
Boy Scout Troop 71, who was
earning his communication
badge, and State Representative
candidates Roger Parshall and
Kathy DeVault.
The next meeting will be
Tuesday, July 8, at 5:30 p.m.
Those in attendance at the
June meeting included Mayor
Chris Krueger, aldermen Jim
Krueger, Kristine Gibson, Robert Heck and Duane Nauman,
City Clerk Patsy Smith, Collector Annissa Brandon, city
employee Vince Beyer, Police
Chief John Panning, Kathy
DeVault, Roger Parshall, City
Attorney Brian Tubbs and Richard and Josiah Foust.

USDA Rural Development
to offer housing loan program
U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA)
Rural Development has a program set up to
help low income and very low income families and individuals in rural areas improve
their economic security through affordable
home loans and the possibility of 100-percent
financing. In most cases, Rural Development
home loans may be made without a down
payment, and typically the loans are for 33
years at a fixed interest rate. Monthly payment assistance may be available for those
that qualify, and depending on the applicant’s
income, monthly payments may be based on
an interest rate as low as 1 percent. Eligibility
for assistance varies by county and is based
on family income. Those interested in the
program are encouraged to contact the USDA
Rural Development office for specifics on all
of the eligibility criteria.
Anyone seeking more information about
homeownership financing or any other USDA
Rural Development program may visit www.
rurdev.usda.gov/mo or contact Brooke McKinnon, area specialist, at brooke.mckin non@

CH-F: Prescription needed
for Medicaid reform in 2014
This year, no single issue before the Missouri
General Assembly has the potential to improve
the health of Missourians and the state as much
as legislative action on Medicaid reform. The
lack of consensus on a plan for Missouri in 2013
will cost the state $2 billion in federal Medicaid
funding this year, a number that amounts to $5.5
million per day. At the same time, hospitals are
already experiencing the cuts included in the Affordable Care Act.
Between 2013 and 2019, Missouri hospitals
will experience $4 billion in cuts to help pay for
the coverage of more people through Medicaid
and the health insurance marketplace. The U.S.
Supreme Court’s decision on the Affordable Care
Act, however, left the decision on the Medicaid
coverage provision to the states. More than half
of U.S. states have taken action on Medicaid.
Missouri has not.
With nearly 900,000 residents of the Show-Me
State lacking health insurance, one uninsured
person seeking medical care arrives at a hospital emergency department every minute of every
day.
The Missouri Chamber of Commerce recently
listed Medicaid reform as a top priority for the
2014 legislative session. Missouri’s business
community understands that the costs of inaction
will disproportionately fall on businesses and
their employees. The cost shift that subsidizes the
state’s uninsured residents affects the competitiveness of Missouri businesses. Moreover, Missouri’s high uninsured rate and poor health status
results in absenteeism and hurts productivity.
The good news is that lawmakers have the ability to bring the value of Medicaid reform to Missouri in 2014. This session, lawmakers can adopt
a plan that not only helps to support working Missourians but also works for Missouri. Although it
would be impossible to recover the $2 billion that
will be lost in 2014, some resources can continue
to improve health throughout the Show-Me State.
This year, a plan that reflects Missouri values
and brings value to Missouri should be sought.
The state is losing $5.5 million each day in federal funding that could be opening access to health
care for the working poor.

The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) wants to know what Missourians
think about its nearly 1,000 conservation areas
around the state.
MDC is in the multi-year process of updating management plans for conservation areas
and is inviting public comments. A draft plan
for two conservation areas in northwest Missouri will be available for public comment
Sunday, June 1, through Monday, June 30.
Statewide, MDC conservation areas cover
almost one million public acres for the purpose of restoring and conserving forest, fish
and wildlife resources and for providing opportunities for all citizens to use, enjoy and
learn about these resources. Most Missourians
are within a 30-minute drive of an MDC conservation area.
“Missourians care about conservation and
use conservation areas for many different
reasons,” said MDC Director Bob Ziehmer.
“These areas help people discover nature
through various activities and help make Missouri a great place to hunt, fish and enjoy other
outdoor activities. We want to know how conservation areas are important to Missourians.
Encouraging public comments on Conservation Area Management Plans is part of MDC’s
ongoing efforts of working for and with Missourians to sustain healthy forests, fish and
wildlife.”
Conservation Area Management Plans focus on natural resource management and
public use on conservation areas. The plans
do not address regulations on hunting, fishing and other area uses, which are set by the
Farm Service Agency (FSA) Holt County
Committee nominations began June 15
Holt County U.S. Department of Agriculture (UDSA) Farm Service Agency (FSA)
Executive Director Allyson Wells announced
that county committee election nominations
began Sunday, June 15, 2014. Farmers, ranchers and landowners are encouraged to nominate farmer and rancher candidates to serve on
the local FSA county committee by the Friday,
Aug. 1, 2014, deadline.
Elected county committee members serve a
three-year term and are responsible for making decisions on FSA disaster, conservation,
commodity and price support programs, as
well as other important federal farm program
issues.
“County committees are unique to FSA
and are a valuable resource that gives locally
elected farmers and ranchers who participate
in FSA programs the opportunity to impact
farm programs at the local level,” said Wells.
“I hope to see a high level of participation during the nomination and election process.”
Sign-up now for USDA
disaster assistance programs
Agriculture Secretary Tom
Vilsack announced that starting Tuesday, April 15, eligible
farmers and ranchers can sign
up for U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) disaster assistance programs restored by
the passage of the 2014 Farm
Bill.
“We implemented these programs in record time and kept
our commitment to begin signup today,” said Agriculture
Secretary Vilsack. “To ensure
enrollment goes as smoothly
as possible, dedicated staff
in over 2,000 Farm Service
Agency offices across the
country are doing everything
necessary to help producers
[who] have suffered through
two-and-a-half difficult years
with no assistance because
these programs were awaiting
Congressional action.”

type of farm or ranch opera-
Conservation Commission and enforced under
the Wildlife Code of Missouri. MDC will consider all ideas received and will work to balance the issues and interests identified with the
responsibility of managing areas for the present and future benefits to forest, fish, wildlife
and people. Decisions on which ideas to incorporate into area plans and how to best incorporate them will be based on the property’s
purpose, its physical and biological conditions
and capabilities, the best roles of the property
in its local, regional and state-wide context,
and the professional expertise of MDC staff.

Some areas up for public input are:
Bonanza Conservation Area in Caldwell
County, south of Kingston, which offers a mix
of forest, old fields, cropland and grassland.
With such a diverse habitat, a wide variety of
wildlife is present, but the area also provides
a special emphasis on managing habitat for
bobwhite quail.
Ronald and Maude Hartell Conservation
Area, northeast of Plattsburg in Clinton County. The area offers five public fishing lakes
and one additional lake that is closed to public fishing but used for educational purposes.
A portion of the area borders the Little Platte
River. Ronald and Maude Hartell Conservation Area is often used for educational purposes and has a classroom. Lakes are managed
for trophy bass and bluegill fishing, catch and
release only.
tion, eligible producers may
enroll in one of four programs
administered by the Farm Service Agency (FSA).
Supporting

Dean’s List
Avila University recently announced the Dean’s List for the
spring 2014 semester; candidates
had to possess a grade point average of at least 3.5 on a 4.0 scale.
Abbey Forehand of Mound City,
Mo., was one of those named to
the list.
Avila University is a Catholic, co-educational, values-based
liberal arts institution founded
by the Sisters of St. Joseph of
Carondelet. The school, which
is located at 119th and Wornall
Road in southwest suburban
Kansas City, Mo., offers undergraduate, graduate and adult degree programs.
The 8-and-under Trojanettes softball team won the
rain-shortened Dick’s Sporting
Goods Heartland Showcase
on Saturday and Sunday, June
7 and 8, at Lone Elm Softball
Complex in Olathe, Kan., after outscoring opponents by a
combined 45-19 score.
In game one versus the Panthers of Kansas City, Delaney
Wolf, Hilarry Elifrits, Kenedie
Summers, Torye Sears and Audrey Buckler scored in the first
inning for the explosive Trojanettes’ offense in what would
become a common theme for
the day. Buckler led the offense,
going three for three for the
game. The Trojanettes added
four runs in the second inning
and five more in the fourth to
put away the Lady Panthers 143. The stellar defense was led
by pitcher Kenedie Summers,
third baseman Ella Schulte, and
shortstop Carlee Gilbert, with
nine putouts between the three.
In game two versus the
Wellsville Swat, leadoff hitter Delaney Wolf and Hilarry
Elifrits, Scarlett Slugantz and
Lainey Smith went three for
three, and Carsen Burns went
two for two to lead the offense.
The Trojanettes overwhelmed
the Swat with 15 runs in the
first three innings and finished
them off in four innings, 17-5.
The championship game
matched the Trojanettes against
local powerhouse the Sparklers,
whose coach is 2000 Olympic
Softball Gold Medalist Christie Ambrosi. The excitement of
the moment may have been the
cause of a defensive letdown in
the first inning. The Sparklers
opened the top of the first inning with five quick runs, but
the Trojanettes answered back
The 8-and-under Trojanettes - Pose after winning
the Dick’s Sporting Goods Heartland Showcase on Sunday, June 8, at Lone Elm Softball Complex in Olathe, Kan.
The team is, from left to right: (back row) Cali Driskell,
Audrey Buckler, Scarlett Slugantz, Ella Schulte, Carsen
Burns, Torye Sears; (front row) Lainey Smith, Carlee Gilbert, Hilarry Elifrits, Delaney Wolf and Kenedie Summers.
(Not pictured: Abigail Archdekin)
with five runs of their own in the second inning. Torye Sears,
Scarlett Slugantz and Audrey Buckler opened the second inning with three runs. Lainey Smith and Cali Driskell then
scored on a base hit up the middle by Carsen Burns. The Trojanettes’ defense again did its part as it held the high-power
hitting attack of the Sparklers to just six more runs over the
next four innings. The Trojanettes scored four runs in the
third inning and five more in the fourth to hang on for the
win and the championship.
The Trojanettes finished the weekend with some amazing
statistics. Scarlett Slugantz and Torye Sears both went eight
for nine for the tournament. Carlee Gilbert added a sevenfor-eight day. Sears leads the team with a remarkable .861
on-base percentage. Hilarry Elifrits added another six runs
for a team-leading total of 23 runs scored for the season.
The Trojanettes are now 7-2 against teams in their classification with an overall record of 8-6 for the season.
The team also adds the championship trophy to a secondplace finish in the season opener at Adair Park in Lee’s
Summit, Mo. The 8-and-under Trojanettes’ next scheduled
games are Saturday and Sunday, June 21 and 22, at Rainbow
Softball Complex in Columbia, Mo.

Exchange student Roanne
Bonke reflects on year in Mound City
Roanne Bonke
This past year, Kim and Donnie Ireland hosted Roanne Bonke, an exchange student from
the Netherlands. Below is Kim’s
description of Bonke’s visit and
translated blog post of Bonke’s.
“Our family had the great
pleasure of hosting an exchange
student this year from the Netherlands. Roanne was taken in by
our school and community like
she had lived here her whole
life. The courage that these students have to leave their homes
and families and take the opportunity to go to another country for 10 months is to be admired. Their experience is made
positive through families willing to take them in and make
them part of the family and
a school and community that
makes them feel at home, and
that is what Mound City gave
to our student this year. In fact,
our county welcomed three students this past school year, and
they have had an experience of
a lifetime because of it. “Roanne kept a blog of her
experience this year for her
family and friends to read so
she could share with them all
the opportunities that she had
while living in Mound City. Her
last blog I wanted to share with
those in the community that
knew her. I think her words help
explain so well the exchange
student feelings and the impact
that people have with the little
things we say or do each day
for someone else. Our family
would like to thank the school,
teachers, coaches, students, parents and everyone in the community that made Roanne and
the other exchange students feel
so welcome.”
- Kim Ireland
“How lucky I am to have
something that makes saying
‘good-bye’ so hard,” by Roanne
Bonke
“Here I am in my kitchen.
I’m still not really used to everything here since I live in a
completely new house. I think
I am not really used to the time
difference; it is 3 a.m., and I am
not really tired. The last few
days were very busy, but I had
so much fun! It just feels so
normal to see my family and
friends again. It seems like I’ve
only been away for a week ..
so weird! Everything is actually still the same here, the only
thing that has changed is that I
gained so many memories and
new experiences. Everything
in town is still the same. I guess
the time was standing still here.
“The last few days in America were really hard. As usual,
I start late with everything, and
so I was also late with packing
my suitcases. I needed an extra
suitcase, so I could take everything home. It’s weird to pack
your whole ‘American’ life in
two suitcases, a carry-on and a
backpack. It just felt so weird,
and it didn’t feel right. I just
had so many different feelings;
I was so excited to see my family and friends at home. But
what about all the friends and
family here? How can I be sure
I’m going to see them all again?
Saying goodbye a year ago was
not so hard; I was sure I would
see everyone again. But saying
goodbye in America is quite different.
“I’ve had so much luck that
the Irelands were my host family. I’ve often said I appreciate
everything that they have done
for me. I feel so blessed when I
hear some stories from other exchange students. It makes me realize that I have a super special
bond with my host family —
and also with all the people who
live in and around Mound City.
People who work somewhere
downtown recognize you and
say they are really going to miss
me. These things have made my
exchange year special. Teachers who come by your house,
to give a gift that they made for
you. Another teacher who gives
you a discus and a letter. I have
met so many special people;
they have become so important
to me, and it’s crazy that I didn’t
know these people last year.
They mean so much to me now.
They all have a special place in
my heart.
“This year was a year to remember. I have so many amazing memories, I cannot even
explain everything that I experienced. It’s okay that not everyone understands how it feels to
be an exchange student. It really
is my year now. I can say that I
lived with a family that I’d never heard of and that I lived for
10 months without my family at
home. I have family and friends
on the other side of the world. I
went to a school where pictures
are hanging on the wall of me,
that will hang there forever. I’ve
sometimes had difficult times,
times that I thought, ‘why am
I just not home? Why doesn’t a
time machine exist?’ Christmas,
New Year’s Eve and my birthday that I had to celebrate without my twin sister were surely
the most difficult moments. But
I got through all these things,
and guess what? I’ve done all
of this, I will appreciate everything more and more next year.
I was 17 years old and said bye
to everything that was familiar
to me, my village, the place and
people I know here. I was ready
to challenge myself, to learn
more about myself, and I was
ready to see more things of the
world. I certainly did. I’m proud
of myself that I have done this,
proud of my parents that they
have let me go, and I am proud
that I can call my host family
my family now.”
Mound City student Chandler
Wilson attends leadership seminar
Chandler Wilson
Chandler Wilson of Mound City, Mo., recently attended the Missouri Leadership Seminar, held Friday through Sunday, June 6, 7
and 8, at the University of Central Missouri campus in Warrensburg.
Wilson joined more than 170 other young leaders representing as
many high schools from throughout Missouri.
The mission of the Missouri Leadership Seminar is to identify and
actively engage young potential leaders, help them understand their
own strengths and abilities and teach them how to use their gifts to
positively influence others to serve their communities and their nation.
The Missouri Leadership Seminar is also a gateway program that
introduces these future leaders to the values of leadership, citizenship and community service. Participants learn while interacting
with other potential high school sophomore leaders from public and
private schools and from every background and community throughout their state. Service projects are utilized both during the seminar
and afterwards as a way to introduce young leaders to the personal
and social values of service and volunteerism.
Wilson will be a junior at Mound City R-2. He is the son of Joel
and Janet Luzmoor and Robert and Theresa Wilson, all of Mound
City.

The Mound City Library Board met Monday, June 9, at the library with President Denise Newcomb, Treasurer Charles Clodfelter, Secretary Chris Boultinghouse, Library Director Carly Edwards, Library Aide Shirley Jackson, and board members Brenda
Ryan, Jacci Peterson and Kerri Acton present; board members Susan Rippen and Gwen Knowles were absent.

Theater performance by Will Stuck. The program will run through
Tuesday, July 1, with Tuesday story time at 10 a.m. for 3-year-olds
through second grade and at 11 a.m. for third- to sixth-grade students.
Edwards added that the main desk printer needs a new drum.
Board members voted without dissent to buy a new drum for $195.
Edwards also said that MORENet is upgrading its internet bandwidth, and the library needs at least a 3G service at a cost of $765,
up from $526. The Board voted in favor of the upgrade.
Newcomb nominated Clodfelter to replace Adam Johnson as
treasurer. The Board’s approval is retroactive to Monday, April 14.
In final business, Newcomb nominated Teresa Russell as a new
board member to replace Johnson, who moved outside of city limits and whose term is expiring. Board members approved, and the
nomination will be sent to the City Council for final approval. Newcomb and Clodfelter’s terms are also expiring, but both indicated
they would accept new three-year terms.
The board will reorganize at its Monday, July 14, meeting.
