Oregon teen loses life in one-vehicle accident

Fatal injuries were sustained in a one-vehicle accident at 3:00 a.m. on Sunday, September 11, 2011, on I-29, 12 miles north of St. Joseph, MO. A 2006 Chevro-let Impala, driven by Kodi M. Parsley, 17, of Oregon, MO, was southbound on I-29. The vehicle traveled off the west side of the roadway, struck an embank-ment, overturned several times ejecting the driver. The vehicle came to rest on its top off the west side of the roadway facing north.

The driver was pronounced dead at the scene by Andrew

County Coroner, Ron Crouse. The driver was not wearing his seat belt.

The accident was investigated by Corporal J. E. Christensen of the Missouri State Highway Pa-trol with assistance from Cpl. S. D. Black, Trp. J. L. Vernon, Andrew County Sheriff ’s De-partment, Andrew County Am-bulance, Savannah Police De-partment, Country Club Police Department and the Andrew County Coroner. The vehicle was totaled and was towed from the scene by L & M Towing of Savannah.

“Love Thy Neighbor”, a play described as a “wild comedy” and “hilarious”, will be staged at the State Theater in Mound City, MO, Saturday and Sunday, September 24-25. It is spon-sored by Laukemper Chevrolet, the State Theater Arts Council and the Missouri Arts Council.

“It is funny,” said director, Jan Seitz. “It is a play that audienc-es of all ages will truly enjoy. It will definitely entertain you.”

It centers around a cranky, rather bizarre character, Leo-na Crump (played by Carolyn Hall), and her dealings with her new odd-ball neighbors and other quirky folks in her daily life.

“There are a few twists that will delight everyone,” Seitz predicts; and, she said, “We have a brilliant cast... it’s going to be a great play.”

Other cast members include Keri Seitz, Kris Gibson, Susan Miller, Cheryl Mauderly, Stan Seitz, Adam Johnson, Johnny Miller, Jonathan Miller and Joel Karr.

Director Seitz commended

the cast members’ hard work, noting they all have jobs, but have “given up a lot of nights (for rehearsals)”. She said it will be 38 nights altogether. “They have been very dedicated.” That sacrifice indicates their willing-ness “to give back to the com-munity”.

“Everybody needs to come see it,” Seitz urged. “It’s for the community.”

Performances will be at 7 p.m. Saturday, September 24, and at 2 p.m. Sunday, September 25. Tickets are $8 in advance and $10 at the door. It is a season ticket event. Tickets are at Nod-away Valley Bank in Mound City and at Citizens Bank in Oregon. For information, or to have tickets held, call 660-442-5909 and leave a message, or call 816-294-4016. Season ticket holders are encouraged to pick up tickets in advance at the banks, or call to have tick-ets held for them.

The playwright is Gary Ray Stapp, and the play is produced by special arrangement with Eldridge Publishing Co.

On the 10th anniverary of 9/11, Americans all across the nation remembered the acts of terrorism that cost the United States so much. De-spite being far removed from the area of attack on the east coast, the pastor of the Tri-Parish Lutheran Churches in Holt County wanted to set aside the day as a day of special remembrance. “I just think it’s good for us all to re-member what happened that day,” Reverend Brian Lemcke stated.

Reverend Lemcke welcomed 175 people who came to wor-ship at the outdoor service at Griffith Park in Mound City, MO, on Sunday, September 11. A large tent had been erect-ed to shelter and shade the area where the large crowd gathered, and great weather

graced the day.Two new banners graced

the stage, and the worship service began with a video that took the worshipers back to the attack on the twin tow-ers and the aftermath that en-sued. The video had Michael W. Smith singing “There She Stands”.

The tri-parish choir sang “America the Beautiful”, and a time of worship followed. The message centered around the events of 9/11 and was followed with the resounding theme of, ‘We need to remem-ber that out of tragedy like that, Christ still triumphs over evil.’

Plenty of food and games followed the service. One cou-ple who attended the service had been traveling north from Branson and stopped in just

because they had seen the sign for the service as they came off the interstate.

Thrivent Financial for Lu-therans Representative, Cody Vaughn, was also in atten-dance. He assisted with the day and passed out helium filled balloons to the kids. He also brought with him a check from Thrivent in the amount of $1,000, which helped to de-fray some of the costs of the event.

The day was organized by a committee from the Tri-Parish Lutheran Churches of Holt County, including: Greg Bier-mann, Leisa Biermann, Carol Sharp, Darrel Biermann and Rev. Brian Lemcke. Gregory and Aubre Biermann helped with the piñatas for the chil-dren.

Letter to the editorDear Editor,To the neighbor who called the police:You are a pathetic person for calling the police on my family

during my father’s funeral services and burial. I know there was lots of traffic, but I own my property, pay taxes, and live on a public street, which I also pay taxes on, so my family can come and go as they please without your permission. Mind your own business; get a life or move, your choice. And now that I will be cutting down branches and raking leaves, get used to those burning! By the way, Mound City has a leash law so keep your dog on a leash. Thank you for your understanding and being a “wonderful” neighbor.

Sincerely,A Mourning Daughter

Shelly Murphy, 1604 Ridge Dr., Mound City, MO 64470

Remembering by Eugene Poynter

The train whistle.....Do you miss it as much as I do? On a still night, especially in the winter time, I can hear the trains going through Bigelow. Sure will be glad when they are up and running everywhere again. Not necessarily for the sound of the whistle, but for that part of our lives that will be back to normal again. I, for one, thought the river boat whistle would be around forever, but even though the Missouri River was maybe the most noted stream during the exploration and settling of the west, its use was changed to Endangered Species and Rec-reation over the years and it seems like the words Naviga-tion and Flood Control have been forgotten.

In the 60’s and 70’s, the tar-iff taxes on river traffic were increased until most of the smaller streams’ activities stopped and gave way to boat-ing and other water related sports.

Somebody decided the sound of trucks rumbling down the highways would be better and more profitable, and maybe so. The trucks absorbed a lot of the river traffic except the Mississippi, part of the Ohio and the lower part of the Mis-souri. One of the main things they (whoever is responsible) forgot to take into consid-eration, was the increase in dependency on the OPEC na-

tions for more imported oil. Instead of domestic drilling, that dependency has put the USA in a situation where we’ve lost control of fuel pric-es, now we (or at least some of us) wish we were on our own. To me, a large country like the USA should be independent of other countries and forget our greed for profits and think of the country again and have united states once more.

This present flood, re-gardless of what or whoever caused it, cut out not only the train whistles, but the noise of trucks on Interstate 29, due to closings further north. The sound I missed this year the most was all the motorcycles headed for Sturgis. They, like the trucks, ran night and day for awhile. It was a treat to go to the truck stop and hear and see all the big Harleys as they stopped for gas and food. Quite an assortment of rid-ers, who I envied, would make the trip up and back. Some may have stayed. Of course, I know the sounds I missed means nothing to all the dam-age, etc., caused by the flood, but it’s just another measur-ing stick of how normal things change by things that are out of our control. When everyday sounds like those return, may-be our lives can start to be on the road to normal again.

Back to the train whistle.

When I was growing up and even after, we could rely on the sound of the train whistle. If a whistle was close to noon, or any other one of the times of day it passed through town, you could set your clock by it. Trains back then were noted for their punctuality and de-pendability. Sure, there were some accidents and weather porblems, but you seldom saw them stacked up waiting like today. One can blame that on the Automatic Computor Con-trol System.

One of Betty’s relatives worked on the railroad section gang out of Forest City, MO. When we’d be visiting there, he would pull out his big railroad watch and say, ‘well, train number so-n-so should be whistling in a couple min-utes’ and it would. Or, it would be a couple minutes late. He was not only proud of the railroad itself, but he was as much a part of it as the engine itself. Dedication and love for his work and his railroad was America at its finest.

When the train whistle is back, along with the rumble of trucks, we can feel like life as before may be returning. Forget the riverboat whistles though, I don’t think they’ll be back.

Motorists in northwest Missouri may be traveling a little easier in the coming weeks as the Missouri De-partment of Transportation (MoDOT) works on the next steps to get flooded roads open as quickly as possible. MoDOT crews have begun repairing Route 136 in Atchi-son County that was dam-aged by Missouri River flood-ing. The initial work includes repair of the roadway and shoulders by MoDOT main-tenance forces. In addition, the department advertised a project Monday, September 12, for emergency repairs to Route 59 in Buchanan Coun-ty, and will advertise another emergency repair project for Route 136 in Atchison Coun-ty September 13.

“Our primary goal is to get these roads open and safe as soon as we can to allevi-ate travel frustrations for the people who live, work and travel in this area of the state,” said Don Wichern, dis-trict engineer for the MoDOT Northwest District. “We’ve been constantly monitoring the water levels on all our flooded routes, and the water receded enough in the last couple of days on these routes for us to get in there safely to begin some repairs.”

MoDOT will work to make repairs as quickly as possible and is using a combination of internal and contract work to get the job done.

“Even with the water flow-ing over these roads since the beginning of June, we’ve been making plans to be ready to move forward as soon as we could to get the roads open,” Wichern said. These plans include assessing damages where possible, getting pre-pared to let emergency con-tracts, stockpiling materials for repairs like tens of thou-sands of tons of rock to fill holes and gaps in the pave-ment, and working with offi-cials to request federal fund-ing.

Other routes in the north-west area that are a top pri-ority for travelers include Route 159, Route 111 and nu-merous lettered routes. Many of these still have water over the road, but are being close-ly monitored. Interstate 29 in Missouri does not have any water on the road and, except

MoDOT working to get flooded routes openright at the Iowa border, has remained dry. However, due to water over the road and damage on the Iowa side, the interstate will remain closed until Iowa is able to open its portion.

Until roads are officially open, MoDOT urges drivers

to stay away from flood-dam-aged and closed roads. Driv-ers should never drive around barricades, fences or other road-closure devices. Doing so is illegal and places mo-torists at risk due to damage to the roadways and bridges, unexpected pavement fail-

ures and heavy equipment at work.

Check MoDOT’s trav-eler information map for the latest road information, and visit modot.org/north west/2011floodcoverage.htm for photos of some of the routes damaged by the flood-ing.

Sparkle and Shine opens its doors

The new automatic car wash, Sparkle and Shine Auto Bath, in Mound City, at the corner of Eighth and Rail-road streets, opened its doors for business on Sunday, September 11. The final touches were done to the outside of the business on Friday, September 9, which included the installation of the new sign at the top of the building. Additionally, new grass was sown and framing around the final cement was removed.

Automatic car wash experts were on hand during the week before the opening, testing and making setting ad-justments to the car wash equipment.

For the first time, Mound City residents can drive downtown, choose from wash cycles that range in price from $6 to $10, drive into the wash, and sit and wait while the car gets automatically cleaned.

“We’re excited to get the business open,” stated owner, Adam Morris. “The credit card portion of the payment options is not available yet. I’m still waiting on it to be completed. For now though, customers can just pay with cash.”

The car wash is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and will remain open during the winter months, except in extreme cold temperatures.

Mound City Police Department receives $3,000 grant

The Mound City Police De-partment is the recipient of a $3,000 grant from Trans-Canada. Mound City Police Chief John Panning applied for a TransCanada (ANR Pipeline) grant to purchase a Watchguard Digital In-Car Camera System, after learn-ing of the grant at a training seminar earlier in the year.

On Wednesday, September 7, TransCanada Operations Manager, Gary Goad, and an ANR Technician for North-west Missouri, John Ceglen-ski, presented Mound City Police Chief Panning and Mound City Alderman and Police Department Head,

Bob Heck, with the check for $3,000. The entire cost of the camera system is $4,920, the difference of which will be picked up by the city.

“We are pleased to be able to present this check to the Mound City Police Depart-ment,” stated Gary Goad. “We focus on emergency re-sponders with a desire to help communities have the equipment they need.”

The in-car video camera will be the second camera of its kind that will be used by the Mound City Police. The video system enables the department to record and document traffic stops.

The United States Postal Service is facing challenging times because technology has evolved. Communi-cation is now instantaneous.

The U.S. Postal Service is now completely self-financed; the fed-eral government does not support it with taxpayer dollars. The U.S. Postal Service is currently running an $8 billion deficit. To help bal-ance its books, the U.S. Postal Ser-vice wants to study whether or not to close 3,700 mostly rural post of-fices nationwide, including 167 in Missouri. Postal officials also want to reduce delivery to five days per week.

There is no doubt the agency needs to address its budget prob-lems. However, officials seem to be intent on doing it at the expense of rural America. Closing a post office in a small town is not the same as closing one in an urban community. The daily service is sometimes the only lifeline that many residents have for prescriptions or checks.

I believe there are other options, such as co-locating a post office at another building in town; reducing the bureaucracy that has noth-ing to do with mail service; and consolidating post offices in major urban areas. Simply reducing ser-vices and rural locations will only make the U.S. Postal Service less competitive and reduce revenues further.

I have asked the U.S. Postmas-ter General to look at all options before reducing delivery and iso-lating small towns. These small post offices are an essential part of our rural communities.

Postal service needs to look at all options

Panthers suffer lossesThe junior high and junior

varsity Panthers travelled to Grant City, MO, on Monday, September 12, to play the Worth County Tigers. It was the season opener for the ju-nior high.

The junior high Panthers suffered through their first game, against a much bigger Tiger team, with a 68-6 loss.

The Tigers got on the board quickly and had a 52-0 lead by the half. In the second half, the Panthers got on the board when quarterback Ben Shifflett handed off to Hunter Holstine, who rushed into the end zone for the Panthers’ only score of the night.

Hunter Holstine led the Panthers in rushing yards and tackles. Ben Shifflett also added rushing yards. Blake Shifflett was a tackle leader.

The Panthers’ junior var-sity contest was an exciting game. With the lead see-sawing back and forth, the Worth County Tigers scored to lead the Panthers by two points late in the game. The Panthers pushed upfield, but were stopped at the 32 yard line on fourth and three with just a minute left in the game. The Panthers were defeated 28-26.

Panther quarterback and leading rusher, Luke Sand-ers, scored two rushing touchdowns. Luke also threw two touchdown passes, one to Miles Loucks and one to Dalton Dreher. Dalton Honea added a two-point conversion catch. Dayne Messer and Hayden Marrs were also lead-

of season to Sacred HeartThe Mound City Panthers

hosted Sacred Heart of Falls City, NE, on Friday, Septem-ber 9, at Panther Field. After a slow start in a competitive game, the Panthers finished with a 31-26 loss.

Sacred Heart jumped out to a 14-0 first quarter lead af-ter a 66 yard touchdown run, followed shortly by a 57-yard punt return. The Panthers held Sacred Heart on a drive just before the end of the quarter, but a 36-yard field goal attempt was successful, giving Sacred Heart a 17-0 first quarter lead.

The Panthers found some offensive momentum in the second quarter and scored late when quarterback Lu-cas Schawang broke loose for a 45-yard touchdown run. A successful conversion pass from Schawang to Thomas Shifflett helped the Panthers narrow the margin to 17-8 by the end of the half.

The Panthers scored again with 4:30 left in the third quarter after a drive left them at the one yard line. Zach Kahle crossed the line for six and the Panthers trailed 17-14. Sacred Heart scored on a pass completion with just a few seconds remaining on the third quarter clock.

Mound City quickly scored in the final quarter on a 6-yard run from Lucas Scha-wang, but Sacred Heart had a quick answer. The score sat at 31-20 Sacred Heart, until the Panthers crawled within reach on a 35-yard pass from Lucas Schawang to Zach

Kahle. The Panthers kept the Irish from scoring and gained possession with opportunity to score. The Panthers were stopped short of a first down and turned the ball over with under a minute to play, to leave the game with a 31-26 loss.

Lucas Schawang completed 15 of 25 passes for 181 yards and rushed for 147 yards on 21 carries. Thomas Shifflett rushed for 64 yards on 12 car-ries and Zach Kahle rushed for 49 yards on 14 carries.

New swing sets for two of Mound City’s parksCity personnel and other volunteers- Were at Griffith Park in Mound City on Tuesday, September 13, to erect the new tripod swing set. The old swing set, which didn’t meet code, was removed from the park prior to Labor Day weekend. The area for the new six seater set was dug out for a use zone and leveled in the same location as the old set. The bobcat in the background was used to dig 10 holes, each to hold 3 1/2 feet of cement that each leg will sit in. The use zone will then receive several inches of rubberized mulch. Work on the Griffith Park set should be completed by this coming weekend. A second swing set will be installed at the City Hall Park. It will also be a six seater, but with a bipod frame. The swing sets were purchased by the city from Bluegrass Playgrounds of Ashland, NE. Hall Construction of Mound City, MO, assisted with the digging. Pictured above, left to right, erecting the set at Griffith Park were: Greg Wilson, Randy Crowley, Greg Hall, Kelly Graves, Kevin Webster, Vince Byers and Garrett Burge.

“He deserves it,” stated Paul Grant, a 2010-2011 All-State member and captain of the Mound City team. “He works hard and is good at what he does. He has a lot to do as both band instructor and scholar bowl coach, and he does both well.”

Mound City celebrates MAP scores with ‘Dunk Tank’

Ninety-one Mound City ‘2010’ third through eighth grade students had the op-portunity on Friday, Septem-ber 9, to dunk one of eleven Mound City faculty/board members in a dunk tank on the school playground. The ‘wet’ treat was a celebratory event for students whose scores ranked them in the proficient or advanced levels on the Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) test that was taken in April of 2010.

The students were given ‘throws’, based on the num-ber of test sections which they scored proficient or

advanced in one of the two target areas. Some students had as many as 12 throws at a teacher of their choice. Stu-dents were able to nominate teachers and board members for the dunking event. Stu-dents then decided who they would spend their throws on, with hopes of dunking them at least once.

Mound City faculty that agreed to get dunked and be part of the celebration were: Administration- Superinten-dent Ken Eaton, High School Principal Chris Sharp and Elementary/Middle School

Mound City MAP score comparison

The following data reflects all students’ scores in each of

the area school districts on the MAP test in the two subcat-egories of Mathematics and Communication Arts. It also

Celebrate National Rehabilitation Awareness September 18-24

Tiffany Care Center (TCC) Rehabilitation (Rehab) in Mound City, MO, can help senior citizens looking to re-gain independence after hip surgeries or athletes with in-juries who want to get back in the game of life. TCC spe-cializes in a variety of ser-vices with Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy and Speech Therapy services to help people live life to the fullest! Celebrating National Rehabilitation Awareness September 18-24, TCC is fea-turing its rehabilitation ser-vices.

Occupational therapy en-ables people of all ages live life to its fullest by helping them promote health, pre-vent – or live better with – injury, illness, or disabil-ity. Occupational Therapists and Occupational Therapy Assistants focus on help-ing a person participate in the occupations or activities which are meaningful to the individual. It is occupational therapy’s purpose to get be-yond problems to the solu-tions that assure living life to its fullest. These solutions may be adaptations for how to do a task, changes to the surroundings, or helping in-dividuals to alter their own behaviors.

“Helping people return to their previous level of func-tion is my goal and I greatly enjoy working and living in the Northwest Missouri (NWMO) area I grew up in,” stated Shannon Fischer Tharp, Occupational Thera-pist/TCC Rehab Clinical Trainer.

Physical Therapy is a very rewarding profession which helps patients with disabili-ties to live life to its fullest. Physical Therapists and Physical Therapy Assistants help people to maximize their mobility and minimize their pain and increase a person’s fitness.

Physical Therapists evalu-ate and create an individu-alized plan of care to help a person to manage their mus-culoskeletal illness and/or injury. Physical Therapists design patient specific plans and Physical Therapy Assis-tants deliver the treatment designed by the Physical Therapist.

“I am a Physical Thera-pist of 18 years who works in the NWMO area and I enjoy helping our local community members reach their highest level of independence so they can have a quality life,” stat-ed Kim Alexander-Goehring, Registered Physical Thera-pist (RPT) / TCC Rehab PT Team Leader.

Speech and language dis-orders can take many forms

and can limit academic achievement, social adjust-ment, career advancement, and quality of life. An indi-vidual may be born with a speech or language disorder, or it may be caused by acci-dental injury or illness.

“Fortunately, most people with speech and language problems can be helped,” said Jena Meyer, CCC-Speech Language Pathologist (SLP). “Even if the problem cannot be eliminated, we can teach people with speech and lan-guage problems strategies to help them cope. People may not fully regain their capac-ity to speak and understand, but a speech-language pa-thologist can help them live more independently.”

Speech Language Patholo-gists are highly trained in helping people with: cogni-tive deficits, memory prob-lems, swallowing difficulties, communication impairments, and hearing disorders.

TCC is very fortunate to have experienced Speech Language Pathologists who serve the community and surrounding areas helping loved ones live life to its full-est!

TCC is proud to provide Speech Therapy services for residents and community members on an In-Patient and Out-Patient basis. Their therapy team is here to help people live life to its fullest!!

Don't stand by my grave and weep...I am not there, I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow,I am the diamond glints on snow,

I am the sunlight on ripened grain,I am the gentle autumn's rain.

When you awake in morning's hush,I am the swift uplifting rush

of quiet birds in circling flight,I am the soft star shine at night.

Do not stand at my grave and cry...I am not there, I did not die.

The Northwest Missouri State University (NWMSU) Band Alumni celebrated Alumni Day at Bearcat Sta-dium in Maryville, MO, on Saturday, September 10, 2011.

After a luncheon, the 60+ alumni members practiced with the Bearcat Marching Band and then performed with the band at the Bearcat Zone, and during pre-game and halftime, watching the Bearcat victory over Sioux Falls.

Guest conductor chosen for this event was Mr. Dave Hol-land of Mound City, MO. He graduated from Northwest in 1958 after serving as a Navel musician in 1955 dur-ing the Korean War. Upon his return to Northwest, he became one of the first members of the Northwest Jazz Band founded by Earl Moss. After graduation, he became the band director for the Mound City school district. He retired in 1991 after teaching for 33 years. Holland and his son, David, Jr., are currently members of the Platte City Community Band. David also serves as director for the Mound City Summer Community Band.

Holland directed the Bearcat Marching Band and the Alumni Band in the

Alma Mater during the pre-game, and joined the alumni by playing trumpet in “Hey Baby” with the combined bands during halftime. His wife, Kelly, accompanied him for this honor. Daugh-ter, Julie, and son, Dave, also joined Holland for the day of

Fire destroys Maitland homeMaitland and other Holt County firefighters were called to a

structure fire at the home of Paul and Beth Devers at 29547 Holt 150 Road, near Maitland, MO, shortly after noon on Tuesday, Sep-tember 13.

The Maitland Fire Department, with mutual aid from the Gra-ham, Skidmore and Mound City fire departments, responded to the call. When the Maitland fire department arrived at the scene, the entire center of the house was engulfed in flames, with flames leaping three to four feet in the air.

The double-wide trailer home was a complete loss. No one was home at the time and no injuries were reported. The fire marshal had already been at the scene, but the cause of the fire had not been released as of press time.

Mr. Edward J. Hamill, State Executive Director, Farm Ser-vice Agency, announced effective Wednesday, September 7, 2011, Atchison and Holt counties in Missouri will have Farm Ser-vice Agency (FSA) disaster loans available due to flooding which occurred May 24 to August 1, 2011. Applications for assistance will be accepted at the county of-fice of the Farm Service Agency in Rock Port, MO, for physical and production losses caused by this disaster. Applications will be accepted through May 7, 2012.

Loans for physical losses must be used to replace or repair dam-age to buildings, fences or to compensate the farmer for losses of basic livestock, stored crops, or supplies on hand, equipment, etc., that was lost due to the di-saster. Loans for production loss-es may also be used to buy feed, seed, fertilizer, and livestock or to make payments on real estate or chattel debts. Generally, loans for production losses cannot be approved until crops have com-pleted their production cycle or have been harvested.

Emergency loan designationIn order to qualify, a farmer

must have suffered a 30% loss in production or an actual physi-cal loss that was essential to the successful operation of the farm.

Loans for actual losses are made at an interest rate of 3.75%

for emergency loans to those eli-gible applicants who are unable to obtain the actual credit need-ed from another source. All loan programs of the Farm Service Agency are conducted on a non-discriminatory basis.
