Semi’s duals come off and strike oncoming vehicle

An accident occurred on U.S. 59 two miles east of Oregon, MO, on Thursday, August 1, 2013, as a semi-trailer’s duals came off and struck an oncom-ing vehicle. Richard L. Ratliff, age 47, of St. Joseph, MO, was eastbound on U.S. 59 in a 1986 Kenworth tractor-trailer as Kevin Volner, age 56, of Maryville, MO, was westbound on U.S. 59 in a 2013 Toyota Ta-coma. The driver’s side duals came off the Kenworth semi and struck the front of the Ta-coma. Both vehicles came to controlled stops on the shoul-ders of U.S. 59.

Volner and a passenger in his vehicle, Cherry D. Hopper, age 41, of Maryville, received minor injuries and were trans-ported to Heartland Regional

Medical Center in St. Joseph by the Atchison-Holt Ambu-lance Service. Both drivers and Hopper were wearing seat belts.

The Kenworth tractor-trail-er received moderate damage and was towed from the scene by R&W Towing of St. Joseph. The Tacoma received exten-sive damage and was towed from the scene by Double D Towing of Mound City.

Cpl. S.M. Hux of the Missso uri State Highway Patrol in-vestigated the accident. He was assisted by Cpl. R.J. Helf-ers, Cpl. M.R. Heits, Commer-cial Vehicle Operations (CVO) D.S. Kelley, the Holt County Sheriff ’s Department and the Oregon Police Department.

If it’s true, that we’re here to help others, what are the others here for?” I ran across this saying and it brought back memories about how we were made aware of it when we were growing up and later on.

Growing up on a farm, it was natural, I guess, to help others. It went something like this: Dad said, “Gene, go help your mother or your sister, brother or the hired man and then help me.” That wasn’t what that old saying was about, because all the help we gave to each other was also indirect help for ourselves. We benefited from it in our every-day living. The feeling we probably had was more of a relief when it was over and sometimes we’d kind of hide out to try and get out of an-other job, but it did establish a pat-tern for helping others on your own.

I went my first three grades to a one-room schoolhouse on our farm and that was where I learned to help others in a different way. Older students in the upper grades helped us adapt to being able to care for ourselves by showing us and ex-plaining to us what was expected. It was great to have help in finding your seat, books and even the boys’ outdoor toilet, plus how to get a drink from the cantankerous pump and how to get by throwing water on the girls. That’s how I found out that several girls could outrun little boys and pound on them. After that I just helped them by operating the pump handle. As we got older, it was our turn to help the younger ones.

We didn’t have to, but we wanted to, just like the others before us did. On the school bus for the first few days, some would sit on my lap un-til they felt okay by themselves. A lot of the time, we’d take the small ones by the hand and take them to their home room and look out for them, help carry their books, etc., and to get on the bus to go home. We always felt good doing that, because we wanted to help someone, like we were helped.

Before the school bus days, we rode to school with our older brother, who was a teacher there. While waiting after school on him, I started helping some of the other teachers and custodian by volun-teering. I learned how to clean the blackboards, the erasers, where to empty the waste cans and even got good enough to help sweep around the desks and do a good job. These jobs were sometimes used as a pen-alty for behavior problems during school and as those students who were in trouble had to stay after school to do these jobs, I know some thought I was in that category, but I felt good about helping anyway. No, it didn’t help my grades, but a big thanks was enough.

I was on my way to St. Joseph a few years ago and along the high-way was a stopped car and a couple was trying to get a wheel with a flat tire off and it looked like they were in trouble. I stopped to help. Do you remember when we had on our cars one of the lug nuts that couldn’t be

removed without a special socket that would only fit them? The sock-et was supposed to be kept in a safe, handy place, usually in the glove compartment. That was their prob-lem, no socket, and they were sure wanting help.

The man was from Holland and was over visiting his girlfriend, who was in college here and she was taking him to Kansas City to catch a flight that would take him back home and they were really in a panic over that. I knew most deal-ers had a device to remove those lug nuts, and as it was a Ford, I took the man to a Ford dealer while she stayed with the car. As I considered it an emergency caused, more or less, by the Ford Motor Co., I asked if the service personnel at Ford would help him make his flight. They made it a point to drop things, and loaded him up in their service truck. I went on my way. I guess he made it because the car was gone when I went back home. To me, that is what America is about. I know I felt good about it and I’m sure the Ford people did too. There’s no doubt the couple did. As soon as I could, I took those great security lugs off our car and put the regular ones on.

It is true, we’re here to help oth-ers, but whether it’s your decision to do so or if a law says you have to determines how you feel about it. As to what the others are here for, I’m not sure I want to know.

Guest columnist injured in car accident

Elsie Fae Rhoades of Tarkio, MO, who was a guest colum-nist for the Mound City News when Adam Johnson first be-came publisher, was injured in an automobile accident last week. At 3:18 p.m. on Tuesday, July 30, on U.S. Highway 136 two miles east of Rock Port, MO, Rhoades, who is 92, was eastbound on U.S. 136. Her vehicle crossed the center line and met an oncoming vehicle. Rhoades swerved to avoid a collision and her vehicle skidded off the right side of the roadway and went down an embankment. The vehicle then struck a ditch and came to rest on its wheels.

Rhoades, who was not wear-ing a seat belt, received seri-ous injuries and was trans-ported to the University Medical Center in Omaha, NE, by Mercy Life Net. (Since that time, Rhoades’ family members report that she re-ceived fractures to her ribs and back, but is expected to recover fully after a matter of

time and will soon be trans-fered to Community Hospital-Fairfax, MO, for continued re-covery and rehabilitation.)

The 2005 Toyota convertible Rhoades was driving received moderate damage and was towed from the scene by Dou-ble M Towing of Rock Port. Cpl. R. J. Helfers of the Mis-souri State Highway Patrol investigated the accident. He was assisted by the Rock Port Fire Department, the Atchi-son County Sheriff ’s Depart-ment and the Atchison-Holt Ambulance.

Editor’s Note: I was so glad to hear that Elsie Fae is going to be okay. She is a great gal. Also, my dad sends this mes-sage to her: “Elsie Fae, the ac-cident was a little extreme to keep from having to sit with me at the Wild Horse in Tarkio for supper!” Get well soon and we will plan to visit you in Fairfax. P.S. Be nice to Dr. Burke and the staff at CH-F!

Increased patrol presence on I-29 Captain Duane L. Robinson,

commanding officer of Missouri State Highway Patrol Troop H in St. Joseph, MO, announced that an enforcement program increasing the presence of troopers on Interstate 29 (I-29) began on Thursday, August 1, 2013. There is currently an in-creased patrol presence on I-29 in Andrew and Buchanan coun-ties. This enforcement program is in response to the recent in-crease of traffic crashes that have resulted in the highway being blocked.

Troopers are enforcing all traffic laws, but are paying close attention to drivers that are fol-lowing too closely, speeding, im-properly changing lanes, failing to yield to emergency vehicles, driving while intoxicated, and any hazardous moving viola-tions. Troopers are also adher-ing to the patrol’s zero tolerance policy for seat belt and child re-

straint violations. Hours for the operation coincide with high traffic volumes and this pro-gram will continue until Mon-day, September 30, 2013.

Captain Robinson stated, “The safety of the motoring public is our priority. The Mis-souri State Highway Patrol is committed to highway safety.” He urges everyone to telephone the patrol if observing any ve-hicle being driven in an er-ratic manner. Drivers can use the Missouri State Highway Patrol’s toll free numbers for reporting emergencies. These numbers are 1-800-525-5555 or cellular *55.

The patrol encourages motor-ists to protect themselves from all types of hazardous drivers by making sure everyone in the vehicle is properly restrained in a seat belt or child restraint. “Click It 4 Life!”

Marion F. (Poodle) Pierce was born September 13, 1939, on a farm in Atchison County, MO, east of Fairfax, MO. He lived all of his life in or near Fairfax. He was the third son of Ernest F. and Ruth A. Pierce. He attended school at Elk Dale and Fairfax schools and graduated from Fair-fax High School in 1957.

As a young boy growing up, Marion enjoyed hunting and fish-ing and spending time at the Ke-merling boys’ home. He was there so much that their mom just au-tomatically sat a plate for him. Marion started working at a very young age, helping neighbors farm and doing whatever chores needed done. He purchased his first car at age 14 with his own money. (It was a little on the rough side, but it had wheels and would run.)

On March 14, 1959, Marion married his childhood sweet-heart, Janice, at the Rupes Grove Methodist Church. They dated all through high school after Marion finally convinced her dad, Ben Gubser, that he was good enough to go with his youngest daughter. They celebrated their 50th wedding anni-versary in 2009. Janice and Marion’s daughter, Cheryl Lynn, was born on February 27, 1961. She loved playing with the dogs and cats on the farm and would ride on the tractor of an evening while Marion was farming, many times falling asleep. Marion would carry her to the house and have mom put her to bed without her ever waking up.

On March 13, 1982, Cheryl married Craig “Coogan” Martin. The first time he was introduced to the family, Coogan was convinced Poodle didn’t like him because he didn’t say much. Cheryl told him that was just the way her dad was and if he didn’t like him, he would let him know. Fortunately, Coogan didn’t give up and kept coming back. Marion and Janice came to consider Coogan so much more than a son-in-law - he be-came their son and a blessing to their family.

Marion was a hard worker and he worked doing many things. He will be remembered most as the manager of Langdon, MO, Fertilizer plant south of Rock Port, MO. He managed the plant for several years and later purchased the plant. It was while he was working in Langdon that Marion met and made many friends and customers. Though the Langdon residents were re-luctant to let him “in” the group at first, that soon changed and they decided he was okay. Marion became and will always be a “Langdonighter”.

At night and on weekends, Marion would farm or do some custom spraying for people. In his spare time (?), he enjoyed rabbit hunting with his beagle dog, Droopy, and fishing.

When the agri-business began to make some drastic changes and Poodle became older, he realized he could not keep up with all the regulations and though the business was a success, the small operators were having a difficult time with all the regu-lations. It became necessary to go bigger or sell out. With a heavy heart, Marion made the decision to sell out and do some-thing else. He worked at a few places, but wanting to be his own boss, he purchased a tractor trailer and did local hauling. Business was very good and soon he had as much and some-times more than he could do. After several years, Poodle de-cided to retire and just farm, but even after he sold his truck, he continued to drive for others.

One of Marion’s favorite things to do was to take Cheryl frog hunting. They both liked hunting them as well as eating them and almost always got their limit. He was the canoe guide and spotter and Cheryl was the “shooter”. (Though they were in-vited to go, Janice and Coogan declined the offer to join in the hunting or eating of the frog legs.) Marion’s one last wish was to take Cheryl frog hunting one more time, but he was not physically able to do so. Too soon he became very ill and in just a few short months, he was taken from this earth.

On Wednesday, July 31, 2013, Marion passed away at the Oregon Care Center in Oregon, MO, at the age of 73 years, 10 months, and 18 days. He was preceded in death by both of his parents; a brother, Frank; three nieces; and one nephew.

Surviving are Marion’s wife, Janice, of the home in Fairfax; Cheryl and Craig (Coogan) Martin of Tarkio, MO; brother, Glen Dale (Barbara); one nephew, Michael Pierce (Denise) of Moberly, MO; and two nieces, Cindy Hammock and Karen Cavin, both in Texas.

Funeral services were held Tuesday, August 6, 2013, at the Fairfax Baptist Church in Fairfax, conducted by Rev. Andy Braams. Interment was made at the English Grove Cemetery, west of Fairfax. Memorials may be directed to the Oregon Health Care or Asera Care Hospice. Services were under the direction of Schooler Funeral Home, Fairfax.

Marion F. (Poodle) Pierce Patsy Ruth Barnes, a former resident of Mound City, passed

from this world safely into the arms of Jesus on Wednesday, July 31, 2013. Daughter of the late W.M. and Dorothy Reeves, Pat was born on December 2, 1931, and grew up in southwest Missouri. She graduated from Noel, MO, High School in 1949 and later moved to Kansas City, MO, to work. There she met and married Clayton K. Barnes in January, 1953. They were the parents of three children, Candace, Linda and Keith. The family moved to Mound City in July of 1969, where Pat was a resident until very recently.

Prior to being stricken with dementia, Pat was an active member of the Mound City Baptist Church, the Omega Club, had served as a GFWC District officer as well as a state com-mittee member, and served as a board member of Missouri Girls’ Town, a cause which especially touched her heart. For many years, she organized and accompanied area high school students to Jefferson City, MO, for their Sophomore Pilgrim-age trip.

Pat was employed most of her adult life in a wide variety of jobs. While in Mound City, she worked for Dr. Gibbs, Pet-tijohn and Crawford, Dr. Humphrey, Tiffany Heights and Breadeaux Pizza. Widowed in 1971, Pat found Mound City a positive place to raise her children and live, and always felt a welcomed and supported part of the community.

Pat was preceded in death by her parents, W.M. and Doro-thy Reeves; siblings, Dorothy Roeckel and Jack Reeves; hus-band, Clayton; and granddaughter, Sara Francis. She is sur-vived by her children, Candace Barnes, and Linda Francis and husband, Terry, all of Logan, IA, and Keith Barnes and wife, Gayle, of Yellville, AR; grandchildren, Andrew Francis, Anna Allen and Shannon Layton; great-grandchildren, Ste-phen Fran cis and John, Hayley and Olivia Layton; sister, Linda Martin and husband, Normen, of Decatur, AR; nieces, Patty Gage and Judy Risse and their children; nephews, Scott Reeves and John Martin; and friends.

Services took place at Chamberlain Funeral Home in Mound City at 2 p.m. on Saturday, August 3, 2013. Burial was made in the Mt. Hope Cemetery in Mound City. Memorials may be sent to the Mound City Baptist Church; or Missouri Girls’ Town, Kingdom City, MO. Online condolences may be left at www.chamberlainfuneral.com.

This Week’s History

50 Years Ago - 1963

25 Years Ago - 1988

10 Years Ago - 2003

From the Mound City News archives

• Rev. Charles R. Hagee, 57, pastor of the Christian Church in Mound City, succumbed at his home near Mound City. He had been seriously ill for three and a half years, but was in his pulpit almost every Sunday until a few weeks before his death. The death of this popular Christian minister ended a brilliant career.

• Several parents in and near Mound City had been discussing the need for a kindergarten, and there seemed to be considerable interest in starting one here. The venture would have to be sponsored on a private basis. It was estimated that there were 30 prospective students. A meeting for interested par-ents was scheduled.

• A meeting was held to form and organize the Mound City Women’s Bowling Association. Fifty-seven women attended the meeting. Association officers elected were: President, Mrs. John Blodgett; vice president, Mrs. Clarence Karsten; secretary, Norma J. Bruntmyer; treasurer, Mrs. Max Benne; and sergeant-at-arms, Mrs. Rex Shunkwiler.

• Superintendent Bob Fox of the Bellevue Consoli-dated School District announced that registration for high school students would be taking place.

• Stanley Brickey headed a crew of volunteer work-ers to have several horseshoe pits installed in the vicinity close to the swimming pool. The movement had the financial backing of the Mound City Cham-ber of Commerce.

• Little Mr. and Miss Craig winners were Mark Quick, son of Mr. and Mrs. Tommy Quick, Oregon; and Adrienne Cunningham, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Steve Cunningham, Craig.

• Those who came to see the annual parade at the Craig Reunion were witnesses to an unexpected and unfortunate occurrence. Harold “Boomer” Gray, master of ceremonies, collapsed and stopped breathing just as the parade was to begin. Several nurses in attendance rushed to Harold’s aid, opened the airway, and used CPR to revive him. After the Atchison-Holt Ambulance left with Harold for Fairfax, the parade committee decided to continue, knowing this is what Harold would want. Abie Show-alter stepped in as emcee.

• A Holt County 1/2 cent sales tax was defeated in the primary election.

• The Conservation Commission cancelled the 1988 Missouri teal season because of drought-caused lower duck populations.

• A Missouri Basketball Hall of Fame was estab-lished. Mound City had the distinction of being one of the first teams inducted in the Hall. Teams which were undefeated state champions in their class, including the 1981 Holt County R-II team, were inducted.

• Voters approved a 64 cent increase in the Mound City School District tax levy. It was approved with a 60 percent margin of approval.

• Three new John Deere garden tractors and a used one were stolen from Hiawatha Implement.

• Fifty cars, pickup trucks and motorcycles were on display at the Second Annual Craig Community Car Show.

• Part of the fun at Skidmore’s Punkin Show was a mudfest that drew more than 50 entrants and a big crowd to watch. Other activities included horseshoes, softball, food, games and music. Little Mr. and Miss Punkin were Eli Sloniker and Maddie Clement.

• After more than 20 years, Lou’s Dining Room in Skidmore closed.

• Vandals smashed out panes in a side window at the State Theater.

• Seven local players active in the summer’s Tro-janette program were: Brooke Johnson, Brittany Johnson, Leigh Ann Griffith, Jamie Webster, Jenny Jackson, Deanna Biermann, and Kallie Schoonover.

ANYONE RECALL THE INTERURBAN?

The Interurban ran between Forest City and Or-egon. Traces of the depot and several track locations along the route are still visible today. Several years ago, the late Ed Richards presented a society pro-gram and shared his memories of riding the train. Newspaper clippings of this program are in society files.

Holt County Sentinel, December 12, 1907 - Articles of incorporation were filed with the Secretary of State by the Oregon Interurban Railway Co. of Oregon with a capital stock of $60,000.

Holt County Sentinel, October 1, 1909 - The Oregon Interurban has its new gasoline motor car on the road and it is making regular trips to all trains. It is a neat little craft carrying 18 passengers without strap hanging and makes good time. Its passenger traffic for July and August was over 2,000.

FOUND THE "OLD DAN SCHULTE PLACE"Last summer, the society received a query from Edwardsville, Kansas, asking about the location of the "old Dan

Schulte place". She wanted to come to Holt County and and see where her great-great-grandfather had lived. She also wrote that she enjoyed the story of Anna Kunkel's early childhood days written by her friend, Lorraine Botkin, that was published in the September, 2012, Holt County Historical Society newsletter.

Wednesday researchers found in the 1876 Census: Daniel, Louisa (wife), Carrie and Emma (their children), living in 60th township, 37 range. The 1877 Holt County Atlas lists Daniel Schulte owning 120 acres in Section 10. Society board member, Mike Freeman, searched deeper and it is believed today to be the Daise farm north of Oregon. Look-ing forward to meeting the Dan Schulte ancestors some Wednesday at the Genealogy Center!

If one would ask Gerry Tohill of Tarkio, MO, why she chose to spend close to 200 hours volunteering for the Community Hospital-Fairfax, MO, Auxiliary and Community Hospital-Fair-fax this year, she’d give a long list of reasons. “Main-ly, I chose to be an auxil-iary volunteer because I wanted to meet new people, but it has become much more than that. It gives me a great outlet to help others and there is a lot of satisfaction in help-ing somebody else and giv-ing back to your commu-nity,” Tohill said.

Tohill’s opportunity to help patients while work-ing at the gift shop is something she looks for-ward to as well. “We know the staff and we can help direct patients if they need help. Plus, I like the feel-ing that we are a connec-tion between the public and the hospital. I love to answer questions for people if I can help,” Tohill said.

Tohill’s fellow auxilia-ry member, Ann Martin, shares a lot of the same sentiments. “Being a part of the auxiliary is one way I can help support our hos-pital, which is such a vital part of our community. It

is a great group of women who are fun to work with on worth-while projects,” Martin said.

Martin, who was named the 2013 Auxilian of the Year and has served as committee trea-surer for many years, says that fundraising for the hospital is rewarding as a volunteer, but as a patient as well. “Both my husband and I have benefited from equipment the auxiliary has helped to purchase. I am proud to be a part of that and I am proud of our hospital for serving our community in so many ways,” Martin went on to say.

In the past three years, the auxiliary has given over $35,000 towards medical equipment for the hospital,

Minor injuries result after driver apparently falls asleep

Minor injuries resulted from a one-vehicle accident on southbound I-29 one mile east of Corning, MO, at 5:45 a.m. Monday, August 5, 2013. Ke-ondra M. Sylvester, age 25, of Lake Charles, LA, was south-bound on I-29 in a Hyundai Accent when she apparently fell asleep and drove into the median. Sylvester woke up, overcorrected and the ve-hicle traveled back across the southbound lanes. The vehicle traveled off the south side of the roadway, struck a guard-rail and overturned two and one-half times down an em-

bankment. The vehicle came to rest on its top off the south side of the roadway.

Sylvester and her passen-ger, Lena M. Ledger-Wilkins, age 16, also of Lake Charles, both received minor injuries, refusing treatment at the scene. The Hyundai Accent was totaled and towed from the accident site by Double M Towing of Rock Port, MO.

Cpl. Rodney J. Helfers of the Missouri State Highway Pa-trol investigated the accident. He was assisted by Trooper Jennifer L. Vernon and the Atchison-Holt Ambulance.

Since the devastating flood during the summer of 2011, cabins at the state park that were submerged by flood-waters were sold to private individuals for use as recycled materials, etc. Progress on the demolition of these structures is shown on Thursday morning, August 1.

Mem-bers create an “island atmo-sphere” with a high-energy and truly entertaining pre-sentation to all.

“Missouri Detour” offers the perfect combination of classic rock and country. Band members play music from the ‘60’s up to the pres-ent day, covering songs from 44 different artists, ranging from classic rock, country, funk, folk, and soul music. “Missouri Detour” takes the City Stage on Saturday, Au-gust 17.

“Cayton and Brown”, the Americana acoustic duo, per-forms a wide range of mu-sic from artists, along with many different originals, on Saturday, August 17. “Flash-back KC”, classic rock enter-tainers, play some of the best party and dance songs of the past and present on the City Stage Saturday.

Country entertainers, “6 Degrees West”, open with an exploding country mu-sic act with dueling guitars and four-part harmonies that get everyone going. To-gether, these individual mu-sicians have learned to cre-ate a unique sound, along with perfecting an electrify-ing stage performance. They take the City Stage on Sat-urday, August 17.

“The Rythmia”, perform-ing on the City Stage, is an old-time acoustic mix of au-thentic ragtime, taking the stage on Sunday afternoon. Over 100 years ago, Ragtime was America’s original popu-lar music, and “The Ryth-mia” has taken on the role of

keeping the ragtime string band tradition alive.

“Whiskey for the Lady” takes the City Stage on Sun-day, offering “a mix of tradi-tional and modern bluegrass to rock your socks off!” This bluegrass edition offers a wide range of musical in-terests and influences that are brought by each group member. Acoustic bluegrass entertainers, “Under the Big Oak Tree”, perform on Sun-day, August 18. With a dis-tinctive and uniquely pure voice made for folk, Kristin Hamilton, the cornerstone of the group and front person, “bridges the old and new”.

“Family & Friends” is another classic rock band. Drummer, Jack Frost, has been around for years and his son, Jeromie, is lead singer. Their playing style is great classic/easy listening music, and they will take the City Stage on Saturday, Au-gust 17.

Kicking off the Family Stage for the weekend, Al-exa Whipple has recently released her second CD en-titled, 'Beautiful Day', which features five original songs, traditional country, gospel and yodeling tunes.

Troop 71 Boy Scouts experience a week at Camp Geiger

Mound City Boy Scout Troop 71 recently attended Camp Geiger near St. Jo-seph, MO, for a week, with all five troop members in attendance, along with two leaders. Enjoying the expe-rience were scouts, Donovan Kemerling, Wyatt Kerns, Jo-siah Foust, Avery Lehmuhkl and Jessie Barwick. Lead-ers attending were Richard Foust and Janelle Kerns.

The first day of camp, a Sunday, found the group at the pool for swim checks and, in the evening, an open-ing campfire. Avery, Jessie and Donovan were involved in the First Class Trail in the mornings. They received training to advance in their scouting. They learned about wood tools, flag cer-emonies, knot tying, hiking and many other things.

Wednesday night was family night so the campers had pizza and a time of fel-lowship. They walked into the campfire program carry-ing the Troop 71 flag while being introduced. Troop 71 scouts performed two skits to the entertainment of all those in attendance.

Thursday night is always a special night at Camp Gei-ger. After Story Fire, camp-ers entered the tapping fire ring for the ceremonies.

Though none of Troop 71’s scouts were tapped, it was a sight to see the tapper. It was a night to remember and a night to look forward to when the tapper taps them into the Tribe of Mic-O-Say.

Friday night was the clos-ing ceremony and Avery, Jes-sie and Donovan were recog-nized as first year campers and received the Camp Geiger patch. Scoutmaster Richard Foust received a coffee mug for his service to the troop. He gave Assistant Scoutmaster Janelle Kerns the same coffee mug for her service to the troop.

Saturday was a short clos-ing ceremony with Scout-master Richard Foust re-ceiving the Scoutmaster Merit Badge for doing differ-ent things during the week.

During the week, Wyatt and Jessie were both chosen to play “Spin or Bust”. They had to spin a wheel and they won the prize it landed on. They then had to decide whether to keep the prize or spin again. If they spun again and landed on “Bust”, they lost everything. Wyatt and Jessie were both victors in this game as they both won three slushies (a real treat at camp) plus some other prizes.

Josiah was selected to take part in “Who’s Got Sit-ting Bull?” Players have to go up and pull a piece of pa-per out of a Buzz Light year box and do whatever it says on the paper. Josiah had to count every log in the Din-ing Hall. He got it right, so if anyone sees him, ask him how many logs are in the Dining Hall.

The local scouts earned several Merit Badges while at camp to include: Leath-erwork, Wood Carving, Pot-

tery, Swimming, Space Ex-ploration, Crime Prevention, Fingerprinting, Farm Me-chanics, Law, Fishing, Fish and Wildlife Management, and Veterinary Medicine. Troop members were very proud of Jessie, who went from a non-swimmer to a beginner swimmer. The lo-cal scouts had a great week, making many memories and friendships. They also now have a better understanding of their roles as scouts.

Holt County traffic violations

The Holt County Commis-sion met Monday, July 8, at 9 a.m. at the Holt County Courthouse in Oregon, MO. Presiding Commissioner Mark Sitherwood, First Dis-trict Commissioner Bill Gor-don and Second District Com-missioner David Carroll were in attendance. County Clerk Kathy J. Kunkel presented the minutes for approval. Fol-lowing discussion, Commis-sioner Carroll made a motion to accept the minutes as pre-sented. Commissioner Gor-don seconded the motion and it carried.

Road and Bridge Supervi-sor, Daryl Biermann, joined the commissioners to dis-cuss County Aid Road Trust (CART) road rock applica-tion and the need for removal of drift and debris from the Nodaway River bridges. Dis-cussion was also held on the installation of a stop sign on Prairie Road near the Burl-ington Northern and Santa Fe tracks south of Oregon.

Health Department Ad-ministrator, Brenda Nelson, R.N., conferred with the com-missioners about power out-age notices from KCP&L and/or the Holt County Sheriff ’s Office. Mrs. Nelson expressed concern that she is not aware of times when there are power outages at the Annex Build-ing, which impacts the proper storage of vaccines. She also notified the commissioners that she has a meeting sched-uled with Northwest Health Services to determine a course of action for maintain-ing doctors’ orders that cover activities within the Health Department. The departure of Dr. Fernandez in Mound City at the Northwest Health Services Clinic leaves the Health Department in need of a new relationship with a doctor.

Jerri Dearmont, North-west Regional Council of Governments, met with the commission to submit a con-tract amendment for Corn-ing Levee District’s Com-munity Development Block Grant (CDBG) project in the amount of $18,972.75, a fi-nal administration contract request for $7,838, and a cer-tificate of completion with the total project coming in at $1,251,734.25. She also presented a contract amend-ment for Big Tarkio Drain-age District’s levee repair

project through CDBG for $91,006.50 with a final ad-ministration contract request of $4,920 and a certificate of completion with this project totaling $576,310.50. Mrs. Dearmont also requested a contract amendment for Union Township Levee Dis-trict’s levee repair work in the sum of $37,398 and final administration contract pay-ments of $1,432. The CDBG portion of this project totaled $159,957 with the US Army Corps of Engineers paying over $600,000. Levee District #9 also has a contract amend-ment request from Mrs. Dear-mont for $77,936, a final administration request for $2,329, and certificate of com-pletion at $143,376 CDBG funding, with the US Army Corps of Engineers paying over $968,000.

Ed Kurtz, rural Oregon, ap-peared before the commission to request assistance on Uni-ty Road and Holt Road 340 where Burlington Northern Sante Fe Railroad removed a crossing in the fall of 2012

and has yet to make appro-priate repairs to the roadway. Commissioner Sitherwood agreed to contact the railroad foreman to inquire about a work order. Being no further business, the commission ad-journed until Monday, July 15.

The Holt County Commis-sion met Monday, July 15, at 9 a.m. at the Holt County Courthouse with Presiding Commissioner Mark Sither-wood, First District Commis-sioner Bill Gordon and Sec-ond District Commissioner David Carroll in attendance.

Diane Phillips, Village of Big Lake Clerk, and David Ray, President of the Big Lake Association, appeared before the commission to dis-cuss a vacancy on Levee Dis-trict #10. The commissioners recently received a letter of resignation from Gary Keck, effective July 1, 2013. Ms. Phillips and Mr. Ray brought two recommendations for the board position: Rick Barnes, Big Lake, and Tom Tubbs, ru-ral Big Lake. Discussion was

County commission meets in Julyheld on the need for a timely appointment to the board to finish levee repairs and up-keep. Tom Bullock was re-cently appointed to the board, with Steve Cunningham re-maining as a longtime board member.

Brenda Nelson, R.N., Health Department Adminis-trator, met with the commis-sion to provide an update from her department, including on-going issues with reestablish-ing doctors’ orders that allow the Health Department to ad-minister shots and other care in the absence of a doctor at Northwest Health Services, Mound City.

Smith growsunusual cucumber

Bob Smith of Mound City - Poses with an unusual cu-cumber from his garden. He says that is is an Armenian cucumber. This is the first season that Bob has planted any of these seeds. He says that this type of cucumber has very few seeds and is more tender than an ordinary variety. He also says that the cucumber meat is white. According to Wikipedia, “The Armenian cucumber is a type of long, slen-der fruit which tastes like a cucumber and looks somewhat like a cucumber inside. It is actually a variety of musk-melon. It is also known as the yard-long cucumber, snake cucumber or snake melon. The skin is very thin, light green and bumpless. It has no bitterness and the fruit is almost always used without peeling.” Bob said that he and his wife have been fixing the Armenians with vinegar and onions and they are very good.

Fourth Circuit Judge Roger Prokes joined the commis-sioners to discuss a recent Missouri Supreme Court decision that will impact the county’s budget starting January 1, 2014.
