Bethany Municipal Court pro-ceedings have been conducted at City Hall for as long as anyone can remember.

But on May 1, the municipal court made the move down the street to the courthouse where defendants will begin appearing in the court-room of the Harrison County Circuit Court Associate Division.

Associate Circuit Judge Tom Alley, who previously had heard Bethany municipal cases at City Hall, will preside over the first city court docket on May 24 on the second floor of the courthouse.

The transition resulted from the so-called “Ferguson effect” when it was revealed that small towns in St. Louis County had used their courts as “cash cows” to raise money for municipal operations. The courts often violated the rights of defen-dants.

“The entire issue was related to the St. Louis area,” said Judge Alley.

The Legislature and Supreme Court responded to the irregularities in the St. Louis County communi-ties to mandate that all small courts move out of municipal buildings into the state court system.

Judge Alley said the main advan-tage of merging the municipal court into the Circuit Court would be to take advantage of the court’s com-puter system. This enables attorneys and defendants to track their cases online and provides an option for defendants to pay their fines online.

“The electronic system is what really drove the mandate,” Judge Alley said.

The municipal cases will still be generated by the Bethany Police Department. City Attorney Tara Walker will handle the prosecution of municipal cases and officers will

serve as bailiffs. Linda Anderson of the court’s staff will serve as the deputy clerk for the municipal court.

Judge Alley said the only change that most defendants will notice is the venue where their cases will be heard.

The Gilman City Municipal Court also will formally move to the courthouse on June 1, with New Hampton’s transition expected in the near future.

Area mail carriers will hold their Stamp Out Hunger Food drive this Saturday, May 13, across Harrison County.

This marks the 25th anniversary of the letter carriers’ hunger drive. This year’s drive will be dedicated in the memory of Sharon Hopkins, a mail carrier who coordinated many of the local food drives over the years.

On the second Saturday of May, letter carriers across the country col-lect non-perishable food donations from customers. These donations go directly to the Harrison County Food Pantry to provide food to people in Harrison County who need our help.

Last year, the letter carriers col-lected over 80 million pounds of food nationally, feeding an estimated 30 million people. Over the course of its 25-year history, the drive has col-lected well over one billion pounds

of food. This year, the Bethany Post

Office, whose carriers serve Beth-any, Eagleville, Martinsville, Bly-thedale, Mt. Moriah and Ridgeway, will be collecting food in memory of Sharon Hopkins, who was the food drive coordinator and a long-time city carrier in Bethany. She retired in May of 2015 and fought cancer until her passing in Febru-ary of 2017. Last year, the carriers collected more than 2,200 pounds of food.

“Just leave a non-perishable food donation in a bag by your mailbox on Saturday, and your letter carrier will do the rest,” said Jimmie Hunter, a Bethany letter carrier. “I invite you to join in America’s great day of giving and help us in our fight to end hunger, and remember a great person, Sharon Hopkins.”

The retirement of high school Librarian Jerriann Bernard prompted the South Harrison School Board Monday night to approve changes in the assignment of personnel for the school district’s three libraries.

Heather Fitzgerald, currently serving at librarian at the elementary school, will take over the supervision of the high school and middle school libraries in addition to her responsi-bilities at the elementary library.

The school will hire another para-professional to assist in the libraries.

Superintendent Dennis Eastin said he had surveyed other school districts to see how they operate their libraries prior to making his recommendation to the school board. The goal of the change, he said, would be to provide more continuity in library operations.

The school board approved the change at its regular meeting Monday night at the high school library.

Elementary Principal Natalie Arnold reported to the board that 177 students have enrolled so far in summer school which will be held from May 30 to June 22. She said transportation and free lunches will be provided to students attending the enrichment program.

The school board approved bids for the construction of the 2017-18 building trades house project.

Sanders Electric received the bid

for the heating and cooling system and for electrical work. Bottorf Con-crete won the bid for the foundation and flat work. The plumbing bid was won by Jennings Plumbing. And the Bethany Building Center will supply material.

The new house will be built at the intersection of Lookout and Daily Road in the Daily Addition under

Harrison County’s five high schools will graduate a total of 86 seniors during commencement exer-cises this weekend.

The Gilman City R-4 school will hold the first graduation of the week-end at 7 p.m. on Friday, May 12. The six-member class will be addressed by Peggy Gamble.

The Cainsville R-1 graduation will be held at 4 p.m. on Saturday, May 13, when eight seniors will receive their diplomas. The speaker will be Debra Sherer.

South Harrison’s graduation will be held at 2 p.m. on Sunday, May 14, in the high school gymnasium. Jossee Harding, a former American government and American history teacher, was selected by the seniors as their speaker. The class of 2017 has 50 members. The South Harri-son baccalaureate will be at 7 p.m. tonight (Wednesday) in the school gym.

New parking areas for those

attending the South Harrison gradu-ation have been established on the north side of the new Middle School.

South Harrison makes changes in library operations

The NTA ambulance district’s dive team took part in rescue opera-tions in South Missouri after record rainfall flooded roadways and iso-lated entire communities in that part of the state.

The Missouri Emergency Opera-tions Center (SEOC) contacted NTA on April 27 to send a team to take part in swift water rescue opera-tions. Six members of the NTA team, supplemented by three members of the St. Joseph Fire Department, left for South Missouri. The team mem-bers from NTA were John Barclay, Corey Sloan, Brandon Fordyce, Jake Loving, Steve Sannean and Ed Truitt.

The local team met the St. Joseph firemen in Cameron planning to go

to Poplar Bluff, Mo. On the way to Southeast Missouri, they were diverted to West Plains to supplement the West Plains Fire Department’s swift water team.

The swift water rescue team’s two boats and a dive trailer arrived at West Plains by 5:45 p.m. on April 28.

By the next afternoon, a heavy band of rain began to inundate West Plains and the Howell County area. Local authorities began receiving swift water rescue calls from citi-zens of West Plains and rural areas of Howell County, just outside the city limits.

125 Years AgoMay 12, 1892

The present population of the United States is about 65,000,000. The population of the rest of the world is 1,300,000,000. Yet the United States, under protection, produces more than one-third of the world’s entire product of manufac-tured iron.

To the ladies who have produce to exchange for Millinery: Go to Mrs. M. A. Roberts and select your hats and bonnets from the largest and best-selected stock in the city. High-est prices paid for produce.

A man from near Eagleville had an invitation to court this week. With the city tank full of water, mud 10 inches deep and Big Creek half bank full, he remarked, Tuesday evening, that Bethany was “the driest town he had struck for a long time.” He seemed to be mighty dry, too, and was wanting to find a doctor who would help him to get the drought broken.

Rain drove farm stories for the last month.

Back in early April, Missouri looked yellow on the drought moni-tor map. That meant moderate drought, not good going into grazing and planting seasons.

That shifted big time! Now the worry becomes waterlogged grass and replanting crops.

Weekly MU field crops telecon-ferences connect state and regional Extension specialists. Problems get answers from state specialists. They target real issues from memories and plot research.

Bill Wiebold, MU Soy Doc, has years of planting-date studies for corn and beans. He’s grown his plots in all kinds of weather.

When yield graph lines are printed on top of each other they look like chaos. But applied statistics bring out trend lines.

Historic trends aid in solving problems. That’s a lesson from Nobel Prize economist Daniel Kahneman. Don’t bet against the trend. That

applies at a casino or to big-time gamblers planting corn.

Statistics teach us a lot, if we learn. After reading Kahneman’s book, “Thinking, Fast and Slow” I think statistics should be taught in high school.

Numbers back up the crop advice: Don’t switch from corn to beans too soon. Late planted corn makes good yields, up to a point. Knowing trends helps.

Now replanting takes dry soil and soil temperatures at 55F degrees for about five days.

I want to start this report by rec-ognizing that May 8-12 is Teacher Appreciation Week. My four-county district contains 17 public schools, with over 600 hard-working teachers, administrators, and staff dedicated to educating our kids and preparing them for a life of success. If you know a teacher, be sure to thank them for their service this week.

Now to capitol business. The only bills the Missouri legislature is con-stitutionally obligated to pass is the state budget. Missouri’s $27.7 bil-lion budget is comprised of 13 bills dealing with the 13 spending topics – Public Debt, K-12 Education, Higher Education, Revenue, Transportation, Administration, Employee Benefits, Agriculture, Economic Development, Public Safety, Corrections, Health, Social Services, Judiciary and Elect-ed Officials, and Statewide Leasing. And unlike the federal government and some other states, we pass a bal-anced budget each year.

The constitutional deadline for completing the budget is May 5th. The House and Senate budget con-

ference committees hashed out their differences at 2:30AM on May 4th. Then during the May 4th regular ses-sion later that day, the entire legisla-ture finally passed all of the budget bills, squeaking under the wire of the May 5th deadline.

Despite an otherwise tight budget year, funding to elementary educa-tion was a priority for the new leg-islature. One of the key provisions of HB2 was to fully fund the K-12 school funding formula, which was accomplished by adding $45 million to last year’s appropriation. This will be the first year the formula has even been fully funded under the modern formula. Also benefitting our schools is restoration of proposed cuts to

Senators “kumbaya’d” during Wednesday morning’s session — lit-erally.

Sen. Bob Dixon, R-Springfield, and Sen. Kiki Curls, D-Kansas City, sang a few bars of the classic spiri-tual, but their attempt at fostering collegiality was short-lived as no other senators audibly joined in and no progress on any bills happened during the rest of the day.

To the editor:Our country became great because

it was based on principles, such as the respect for the rights of others. It is in our Declaration of Independence, our Constitution and it’s Bill of Rights. CBS used to be the home of Jack Benny, Lucille Ball and Walter Cronkite. When they engaged in humor, it was at their own expense. Jack Benny was stingy, Lucille did zany things. When Cronkite deliv-ered the news, you did not know who he voted for.

How things have changed! Now CBS supports Stephen Colbert who does not understand comedy or respect. His filthy language corrupts our language and the bed rock prin-ciples of our democracy.

I could give an example but it is too disgusting to put in print. And there is no doubt as to how the lead-ership of CBS votes.

CBS and Colbert do understand the politics of personal destruction.

Yes, things have changed and not for the better.—Irvin Israel.

Weather impacts gamblers, those risking all in farmingwell. Drought slows grass growth. Too much rain does the same. Rain affects quantity and quality.

For many, the first hay cutting is a dud; but that allows a strong second cutting this year. That is if weather allows mowing.

Forage worries may have been on minds of bidders in the sale barn last Friday. There were lots of registered buyers at the Show-Me-Select heifer sale at Fruitland. Few raised their hand or nodded their head to bid. Those believing good weather ahead, bought bargains. Highest quality heifers come to those sales these days. The SMS program doesn’t stay constant. It adds more genetic research that makes quality predictable. A new layer of data comes with the Show-Me-Plus heifers. These new DNA records indicate potential. A blood sample or a pulled tail hair contains enough genes to give the equivalent of 10 years of production testing. That can be known soon after a calf’s birth.

That’s valuable information for breeders who do their homework. It will take study. Buyers must learn that many EPDs (Expected Prog-eny Differences) are wrapped in a genomic index.

Jared Decker, MU Extension beef geneticist, has big work ahead to teach us the genome. That’s a big advance in heifer selection and breeding.

Remember, it took time for buyers to learn the value of Tier Two AI bred heifers. But, repeat buyers at the sale last Friday knew. They bid an aver-age $200 premium for bred heifers with known genetics.

The beef business changed. We’ve come a long way from depending on paper pedigrees. I expect corn farm-ers who own cow herds to lead the way. Long ago, they learned stacked genetics add value to seed corn.

Tier Two is stacked genetics. I wrote lots of stories promoting cross-breeding genetics. Now, differences within a breed can be matched. That gives power to selection.

All still comes back to weather. Will there be rain? We’ll need water to grow grass and corn to feed the calves.

Farming isn’t simple, as weather also affects economics. A late-spring blizzard on the High Plains kills cattle. That cuts beef supply and prices pop in response.

That takes reading the news to know all that impacts the year’s output and prices. Not easy, indeed. Those who can and do will remain.

Letter to the editor

Letter to the

districtby J Eggleston,

State Rep., 2nd District

Missouri’s spending budget completedschool transportation, and a $6 mil-lion line item to expand broadband Internet to our rural schools.

Higher education funding through HB3 saw a decrease in funding of $122 million, including a 6.6% re-duction in core funding to each of the state’s 4-year universities and com-munity colleges. Given this year’s tight budget climate and MU’s recent lapses in leadership, the budget com-mittees decided Higher Ed was the most appropriate place for cuts. At one point in the discussions, univer-sities were facing a 9% reduction, so a 6.6% reduction is milder than it might have been.

Another budgetary topic has been the funding of some nursing home care and in-home services for the el-derly or handicapped who need help with day-to-day tasks to stay in their home. The past level of incapacity that would make someone eligible for these services was Level 21 on an incapacity rating scale. The Gover-nor’s budget and Senate position was to raise that to Level 27. This would save a lot of state taxpayer money, but would remove thousands of Mis-sourians from assistance, which some argued might force the in-home el-derly into nursing homes which are costlier to the state. In the end, the committee settled on Level 24, with the promise to stay at Level 21 if a bill to fund the Senior Services Pro-tection Fund, which reforms the cir-cuit breaker tax credit for elderly who rent their homes, was also passed into law. The circuit breaker reform bill, HCB3, passed with differing lan-guage by the House and Senate. One week remains in session to work out those differences.

Until next time, best wishes of safety, health and prosperity to you and your family.

A fugitive mother and son, who were holed up in a Bethany apart-ment, were taken into custody last Wednesday on a DeKalb County warrant charging them with assault, according to Sheriff Josh Eckerson.

Jacklyn Scherler, 53, and her son Cody Scherler, 25, of North Mitch-ell Avenue in Weatherby, Mo., were accused of assaulting Cody’s girl-friend over a two-month period using various weapons.

DeKalb County authorities had issued an arrest warrant with a $25,000 cash bond.

Eckerson said the sheriff’s office was contacted by a concerned citizen who saw a post on Facebook indi-cating that the mother and son were staying at an apartment in Bethany.

Sheriff’s and police officers went to the apartment located in the 1300 block of South 9th Street and knocked on the door. When the door

wasn’t answered, they obtained per-mission from the person who rents the apartment to obtain keys from a maintenance man to enter the resi-dence.

The Scherlers were found inside the apartment and surrendered with-out incident.

They were taken to the Harrison County Jail where they were picked up by DeKalb County authorities.

afternoon into early morning hours performing multiple rescues. They operated in adverse conditions and lost several regional boats that were hit by debris in the swift water. The region also lost 911 service and radio communications and encountered flooded roadways that isolated West Plains. The National Weather Service indicated that about 14½ inches of rain fell over a 6- to 8-hour period from Saturday into Sunday.

The Region H team (NTA and St. Joseph Fire) had to make quick repairs to one of the its damaged boats.

Authorities said there were no injuries or fatalities in the West Plains area.

West Plains Fire Chief Roy Sims said, “If it were not for the pre-stag-ing of the Region H team in West Plains, there is no doubt we would have suffered fatalities as we could not get to all of the calls for service.”

Some 75 citizens were rescued from flash floods, including some 40 Missouri Southern University stu-dents from an apartment house.

The Region H team performed two rescue missions on Sunday, April 30. The team responded to a social media report of a person trapped on a roof. Five members of the Region H team walked about four miles across many flooded low water crossings.

Upon arrival, the team found that the victim was safe and not in need of assistance.

Later that morning, the Oregon County Sheriff’s Office and South Howell County EMS reported that they could not reach a patient who suffered a traumatic fall in an inac-cessible area due to the flood. The Region H teams arrived at a large creek crossing that was waist deep in fast water. Using the boat, para-medics wearing swift water rescue gear located the patient. The rescue took about 2½ hours to complete. The victim was transported to a local medical center for treatment.

“This team made Region H proud of their skill and dedication,” said Chief Barclay of NTA. “They pre-vented so much injury and death. I couldn’t have asked to work with a finer group of men.”

The Region H team was demobi-lized last Monday, May 1, at about 9 a.m. and returned to the region by 7 p.m.

Barclay said no Region H team members were injured during the deployment.

“The hospitality and profession-alism shown to the Region H group by the West Plains community were humbling,” Barclay said. He said the team’s thoughts are with the commu-nity as it recovers from the historical flood disaster.

Rescue operations

Legislature mired down in final week“I’m at my wit’s end,” Dixon later

said of the inaction. “It’s the worst thing I’ve seen in 15 years.”

Sen. Rob Schaaf, R-St. Joseph, handed out a list of 79 bills that he said “several” senators — he wouldn’t name them — had con-cluded wouldn’t face opposition and so could easily be passed in the clos-ing days of the session, which ends May 12. But under a deal forced on Monday by a group of senators led by Schaaf, nothing can be discussed

until his dark money bill is heard. No action has taken place in the Senate since then.

Dixon said that while some of his constituents are happy with the fact that bills they don’t agree with are stuck in gridlock, others are more concerned with the lack of progress. One issue in particular that con-cerns people in his district is that if the General Assembly doesn’t pass a Real ID bill, Missouri drivers licenses will no longer work as ID to get on airplanes and into facilities such as military bases.

“Most people.... they just want their drivers license to work,” he said.

The North Central Career Center has been graduating students ready for their vocational fields and for higher education since the 1980s, NCCC Director Erik Coffey said at Thursday’s Rotary Club meeting.

The vocational school was estab-lished with the motto “Real Life Education.” NCCC has been fol-lowing that motto ever since open-ing its doors serving students from more than a dozen northern Missouri schools.

The career center has an enroll-ment of 364 students including 285 South Harrison students and 79 stu-dents from 13 sending schools.

Coffey, who is serving in his first year as vocational director, said one of the objectives of the school is to help fill labor positions in area busi-nesses and industries.

“There is a real shortage of labor

for skilled jobs,” he said. “We try to fill that void.”

North Central tries to teach stu-dents the skills that will make them successful employees. The school focuses on its attendance policy to show the students the importance of showing up to work on time. They also are required to put away such distractions as cell phones.

Students from some long dis-tance sending school are among the most dedicated enrollees at the vo-tech school. Coffey pointed out that students from Newtown-Harris have to board their bus by 6:30 a.m. to be at the school by the opening, but “they” have the best attendance in the school.”

Some students are able to build up their college credits at the same time they are attending classes at the North Central Career Center. The school has

Members of the local Little League teams sold 800 tickets for the breakfast, according to Ball Association President Jeremy VanMeter. A portion of the proceeds will purchase new bats for the teams.

Vo-tech school producing “job ready” graduatesan articulation agreement with North Central Missouri College, Trenton, which allows a student enrolled in a three-year block to receive 30 hours of credit toward their associate’s degree at NCMC. This would allow them to graduate within one year.

Coffey reviewed some of the school’s projects and activities of its three career and technical student organizations such as FBLA, FFA and Skills USA.

Coffey said the auto class’ pedal car project recently took second place in competition at the World of Wheels in Kansas City. The pedal car was sold at an auction for $1,000, which was the highest amount that was raised during the auction.

Some 50 South Harrison students took part in the district FBLA con-tests, and three students advanced to the national leadership conference in Anaheim, Calif.

The career center is also the home of the Puppy Pound preschool supervised by Janice Rose. Students receive experience in providing child care.

If your basement sprung a leak during recent intense rainfalls, you’re not alone.

University of Missouri Exten-sion state housing and environmental design specialist Michael Goldschmidt recommends inspecting basement walls and floors to locate cracks or breaks that can turn into active water leaks. Find the source of the leak if possible. Water takes the path of least resistance. If you’ve got a small crack, water will find it and make it bigger, Goldschmidt said. Areas where walls meet are most susceptible to seepage. Check drainpipes for clogging and feel around basement windows for mois-ture.

Some basements are more at risk of water leaks than others. The lower your basement is in the ground, the more pressure its walls will feel from incoming water. Older houses are most vulnerable to damage because founda-tions settle over time.

As your first line of defense, clean your gutters and downspouts this time of year. Leaves and other debris can dam up the gutters, forcing water to spill out near the basement instead of being carried away from the home.

Flexible extenders can carry water recommended distances of 10 feet out and downhill from your home. Install French drains, which are perforated flexible drainpipes, to divert surface water away from the foundation of the house. Regrade landscaping areas if water pools there.

Goldschmidt recommends staining and sealing concrete basement floors rather than installing carpet. Carpet can absorb and trap moisture and cause mold.

Radon can make its way through cracks, so this is a good time for radon testing. And inspect your sump pumps while you are checking your basement.

It’s best to call a professional for basement problems to protect the structural integrity of your home. It is expensive, but protects what is likely

First aid for leaky basementsThese tips can help until the professionals arrive

your biggest investment, Goldschmidt said.

Before the professional comes, there are steps you can take to stop the flow of water temporarily. You can make temporary patches that will give you one to two years of protection.

Just remember, once you patch one crack, water will find another place to enter, he says.

Goldschmidt suggests the follow-ing:

• Waterproof silicone-based caulk-ing can be squeezed into cracks to pro-vide temporary relief. This works best on hairline cracks, those that a credit card will slide into.

• Another option for small cracks is to spread a thin layer of asphalt-based waterproof material onto walls with a trowel. The material is similar to roof-ing tar and is toxic, so Goldschmidt recommends adequate outside ventila-tion when using this product.

• Use a cementitious coating if the crack is 1/4 inch or larger. This resists water pressure in below-ground struc-tures.

• Hydraulic cements such as Waterplug can be applied even when water is leaking.

Check with your local building supply or hardware store for recom-mended supplies. Follow manufactur-er’s instructions and adhere to safety warnings.

Life can be a challenge. Sometimes thetasks we are assigned at school orwork seem beyond our abilities.

Other times the challenge comes from thepeople around us. Our family, friends andcoworkers, while often supportive, cansometimes be difficult. Sometimes natureprovides us with the challenge, in the formof severe weather, illness, or the death ofloved ones. No one is immune from thesethings. They are part and parcel of thehuman condition, and the real question ishow best to deal with the challenges whichlife provides. If we look at challenges as aninteresting problem to be solved or even as agame to be played—and hopefully won—wewill fare much better than if we getdiscouraged. The optimist believes that thedifficult co-worker is a problem to be solved,asking himself how can he get along withthis guy, or at least avoid being bothered byhim, while the pessimist just wallows in hisnegative emotions, stewing about what ajerk the guy is. Life can undoubtedly bedifficult, but this makes it a vehicle forpersonal and spiritual growth. We shouldprobably pray for a difficult life, and themeans to deal with life’s problems. An easy,comfortable life is not as desirable as itmight seem, because life will eventuallythrow some hard times your way, and youwant to have the mettle to deal with it. – Christopher Simon

StrivingWith Adversity

“Consider it pure joy, mybrothers and sisters, wheneveryou face trials of many kinds,because you know that the testingof your faith producesperseverance.”—James 1:2-3 NIV

My, what lovely spring weather the last few days! The grass is so green and the trees have leafed out and the flow-ers are starting to bloom! Spring is such a pretty time of the year; now to get a few garden plants in the ground.

Mary and Conrad Ury stopped by Liz Carpenter’s for a few minutes Sunday morning to drop off some Stella ‘Doro plants for Liz. Mary was thinning her plants and needing new homes for some. Liz was happy to have them. Thanks, Mary and Conrad.

Jaime Reyes and Samuel Bradley, Jackie Snethen’s grandsons, had a small pizza party at their aunt Philinda Snethen’s home. Jaime will be work-ing in Lamoni this summer. Not sure whether or not it was a small size pizza at the party or small party with pizza. The English language can be a bit con-fusing at times.

Ned and Jerry Bergman were work-ing on some projects at the Bergman farm. They stopped in to visit with Liz Carpenter on Wednesday evening. During the visiting the conversation turned to the annual Bluegrass Jam-boree. Well folks, the date has been decided. The Jamboree will take place on Saturday evening July 1. Remem-ber, you saw it here first! More details to come a little later like the end of June

later.Philinda Snethen and Ruthie Welch

were out and about Sunday and went to eat at a local restaurant where Philinda met Scott Ourth, a member of the Iowa House of Representatives.

Jerry Bergman stopped by Liz Car-penter’s again on Thursday evening for another short visit and this time they talked about old deep freezers. Quite an exciting topic, eh! Well, it turns out Jerry and Ned had a couple old deep freezers, an old washer, an old dryer, an old refrigerator, and a couple of small dorm size refrigerators they were want-ing to get rid of because none of them worked. Liz, with the help of some Facebook connections, helped Jerry find someone to haul off all the stuff on Friday morning. Now the Bergman farmhouse has a little more space in the basement!

Philinda Snethen and Ruthie Welch ventured over to Corydon on Tuesday to visit Philinda’s sister Fay Andrew.

Ruthie also had a nice visit with Penny Worthington and Kay Herring this past week.

Have a good week, be kind to each other, and enjoy the lovely spring weather because soon it will be hot summer weather, and we’ll be dream-ing of the cool spring weather.

Seven members of the Moder-nette Club went on a trip Wednes-day, 5-3. They traveled to Stanberry and then on to King City where they had lunch. Next was a visit to Prairie Flowers greenhouse. All the flowers were beautiful and most made pur-chases. From there they went to King City Manor to visit former member Alberta Fowler. All enjoyed visiting with Alberta and son Tom. Many club memories were recalled.

Marilyn Huit, Beverly Butler, Jean Huitt, Nina Adkison, Betty Lacy Poteet, Donna Bennett and Phyllis Ritchie enjoyed their day journey.

Services at the Eagleville UM Church on Sunday, 5-7, opened with “Rock of Ages”. Pastor Gina gave announce-ments and welcome. There were many joys and concerns and prayer requests

made. It is a busy time with gradua-tions.

Pastor Gina’s son, Brian, will gradu-ate at Maysville next Sunday. Former member, Paytience Markle graduated from the College of the Ozarks today. Nina’s great granddaughter Addison graduated Saturday at Trenton as an LPN.

Nina had great granddaughter Naomi Thomsen with her today. Nina said the 90th birthday celebration for Harold Kinder was well attended on Saturday evening.

Scripture reading was from John 10:1-10, “The Shepherd and his Flock”. Gina’s sermon followed. Com-munion was served. Benediction hymn was “I Know Who Holds tomorrow” followed by “Gentle Shepherd”.

Carol Wooden hosted 10 WTL Club members on a cool, clear and windy day May 4. They were welcomed into her spacious garage which had tables covered with pretty cloths and deco-rated with Chinese dolls, gifts from her son-in-law serving in the Navy. He was in China for a while. There was talk about so much sickness in the neigh-borhood and concern for those families.

President Carol called the meeting to order with Salute to the Flag; our song “God Bless America” and “Our Lord’s Prayer”. Secretary called the roll and those present responded with some-thing to learn. Yvonna Arnold read that tornados can strike without warning usually on a May afternoon. The sky turns green because of light at time of day. Lou Kalor read about God’s beauty in cloudless skies and rainy days fol-lowed by rainbows. Mary Higbee had a timely word puzzle about the origin of the holiday, our national annual trib-ute to motherhood, second Sunday in May. Wear a carnation. Nileen Floyd and Carol talked about sometimes we just don’t know what to say. Nina Polley left her birthday card with the nice verse on the table at home. Doro-thy Olds had a life changing two day visit with her niece. Soon she will no longer take care of the cat. Carol read it is not what we have, but what we use. Not what we see, but what we are that makes for peace.

Dee Smith’s cat named Bull is dull. He is getting old, already 15 years old. Lois McQuerry read “It’s hard work making a home together” and gave May’s weather forecast. Betty Purdun, Maxine Williams, and Norma Medlin were missed. Treasurer Yvonna gave the report. Dorothy sent cards to Nina, Norma and Myra. Dorothy and Dee sang old songs for the ladies. Every-body joined in singing “School Days”. Carol called bingo. Nice prizes were

won then exchanged around the table to different winners. Nileen won the big prize which was a basket, Kleenex and beautiful hot pads. A delicious lunch of sandwiches and layered dessert were served.

Tony and Linda Wilcoxson cleaned Neoma Wilcoxson’s house outside for moss Saturday morning. After lunch they drove to their home in Des Moines. Early Sunday, May 7, they had brunch at the grand old Grace United Church. Parents and grandparents were invited to celebrate the service of confirma-tion for six excited young persons. Tim and Heather Wilcoxson have nurtured and loved their little premie until she is now a nice young lady over 12 years old. Her Grandpa Tony was privileged to mentor his precious granddaughter, Elli Wilcoxson, and learn at the seri-ous of formal religious instruction. It was a joyous occasion. Heather’s par-ents, her four sisters and their families applauded their miracle baby’s choice for Christ. The relatives were invited to Tim and Heather’s well cared for old home. They relaxed and enjoyed sun-shine on their deck. A good lunch was served including fresh strawberries and blackberries.

Summer ball has started for the kids here in town. Ridgeway and Cainsville joined together for summer league games so that both towns could have enough girls to have teams. Which-ever town had the most girls for an age group is the town that got to have that team. Ridgeway has two girls’ teams. They have 1st and 2nd grade and 3rd and 4th. Cainsville had the majority for the 5th and 6th grade so some of our girls play on the Farmers Bank of North Missouri. They had their first game in Trenton Friday night and brought home a win. Way to go girls, keep up the good work.

Keep them safe and help them to make decisions that are good for our country and our people.

Best wishes for all our area gradu-ates, college, high school and under-grad levels. If you are still in school, get in a mind-set to do your best to learn all you can in your coming years in school. It is very important to your future goals in life.

Happy Mother’s Day to all of you Moms everywhere! Have a wonder-ful day Sunday. It may be a little sad for some of you who have someone graduating, but be proud of your graduate if they have done their best. It is a growing-up experience for par-ents as well as their children.

Public Notices(Editor’s Note: Public Notice advertising plays a unique role both in American History and in the process by which this country’s democracy is preserved. Its one premise is that people must be informed if they are to govern themselves competently. Public Notice adver-tising 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 inauspi-cious beginning to the complex publication requirements in federal, state and local laws today, government offi-cials have come more and more to understand their obli-gations to inform the public through Public Notice adver-tising. 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.)
