The Bethany City Council acted Monday night to close In-dependence Avenue to replace a culvert began to buckle during the recent rains.

City Administrator Jake Tay-lor said street crews were con-cerned that the culvert that car-ries water under the street would collapse. Herzog Contracting had planned to begin repaving Independence and 28th Street under the summer street project. That project will be delayed un-til the repairs have been made.

The culvert acts as a bridge over a tributary of Buck’s Branch.

Taylor said a culvert will be ordered to replace the damaged tube.

In a related development, Taylor said Bethany Township has agreed to join the city and

the council in paying for the lo-cal share of the cost of replacing the Big Creek Bridge on West Main Street.

Bethany Township Trustee Dale Adkins said the township board has agreed to provide $20,000 for the project. The city and county would share the re-maining $140,000 local match for the new bridge expected to cost more than $800,000.

The council, in other busi-ness, approved Northwest Metal Supplies’ bid to provide material for the city’s new dog pound. The bid was $8,231. City em-ployees will erect the building at the wastewater plant.

Taylor reported that the po-lice department still is seeking information about the shooting

The garage sale at the Harrison County Genealogy Library was busy on Saturday morning. “I pretty well sold out my stuff,” said Terry Daniel, who brought out items for the sale. The event took place on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

When Julie Wieland-Corneli-son began receiving treatment for breast cancer about a year ago, the thing that she missed most was not having someone else with a similar diagnosis to share with her what to expect.

“I could have used someone to tell be ‘that happened to me’,” said Julie. “I had my eyes closed and my arm outstretched.

Julie has joined with other persons receiving a cancer diag-nosis who will be forming a can-cer support group at a meeting at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, June 13, at the Blessed Sacrament Catho-lic Church.

Julie, who runs her family’s gravel hauling business, was only 47 years old when she was diagnosed with cancer. “Age is not a factor in my cancer,” she said.

The Bethany resident could not find a cancer support group when she began receiving treat-ments, but she has since found that many area residents have

been treated or are being treated for cancer. She reached out to other persons around the area to find out if there was interest in forming a support group.

“We think that it should be open to anybody who needs help,” she said.

Julie underwent surgery and has undergone chemo treat-ments since the diagnosis. She has to travel every three weeks for treatment at the Ellis-Fischel Cancer Center at the University of Missouri. She estimates that she has made 30 trips to and from Columbia in the past year.

“We are trying to form a net-work to share rides, support and information with others,” she said. The purpose of the first meeting, on June 13, will be to determine the need for the sup-port group.

For more information, call Julie at 660-373-0176 or Joyce Cain of Ridgeway at 660-654-3114.

A nearly unprecedented series of rains last week sent Buck’s Branch and Big Creek out of their banks on Wednesday, forc-ing the evacuation of homes in northwest Bethany and closing streets and highways.

Highway 69, north of One-Stop, was turned into a raging river forcing authorities to close the highway briefly after a car got caught in the flood.

John Barclay of NTA reported that local emergency responders performed some 22 water res-cues when water from Big Creek spilled out of its banks onto low lying residential areas along Factory and River streets.

“We had a rescue team out all night,” Barclay said. “There was water starting to come up to the front doors” of some homes near Miriam Cemetery.

The Red Cross shelter at the Assembly of God Church was opened up to accommodate some persons who were evacu-ated from their homes. Red Cross volunteer C. Jon Hinkle and church member Mary Cox were among those providing help at the shelter.

Smithfield and Roeslein Al-ternative Energy have begun producing renewable natural gas at the Ruckman hog finishing farm in Gentry County and will also harvest native prairie grass near the Dunn Ranch for their biogas project.

The partnership converts ma-nure collected from Smithfield

farms in Missouri into renew-able natural gas while develop-ing wildlife habitat to establish cover crops on highly-erodible land. The Ruckman farm is the home of the two companies’ first biogas project. The project will be extended to eight other Smithfield finishing farms in Missouri.

“This innovative collabora-tion creates value for our com-pany and our partners and bene-fits the environment as we work to feed the world’s growing pop-ulation,” said Kenneth Sullivan, president and chief executive of-ficer for Smithfield Foods.

Downpour leads to water rescues, home evacuations in West Bethany

north of the Country Club were also rescued.

Even larger vehicles were no match when they attempted to drive down flooded streets as evidenced by a Hummer that had to be abandoned on West Main Street.

KAAN radio said the two-day rainfall total was 5.81 inches.

Main Street was inundated with water during the storm and there were several reports of damaging hail. Siding at the Hope Lutheran Church, across from Hy-Vee, was pock-marked

by hail, and Scott and Rhonda Taylor’s home east of Bethany received extensive hail damage.

The small brook along High-way 69 at the hospital intersec-tion was turned into a torrent as flood water poured into the often picturesque stream. Maggie Bro-yles watched as the small bridge that provides access to her home across from the hospital washed down the street and smashed against a culvert at Miller and Highway 69.

“It went for a swim,” Maggie laughed. Since the storm, she

has had to park her vehicle at Richard Easton’s used car lot to walk to her house.

Mrs. Broyles has noticed that more flood water has been com-ing down the brook in recent years.

“You cannot imagine the trash that comes through here when it floods,” she said.

Motorists driving between Bethany and Albany had to take alternate routes when MoDOT closed Highway 136 at the old Four-Way after water flooded the Big Creek bottoms.

While preparing to assist in water rescues during last week’s flood, the Bethany Fire Depart-ment faced a crisis of its own when water began pouring into the fire station.

Fire Chief David Kinnison told the City Council Monday night that the firemen consid-ered evacuating the fire station at Beekman and South 12th Street in the middle of last Tuesday night’s downpour. Water from a nearby drainage ditch and runoff from the street threatened fire equipment.

The firemen began prepara-tions to remove the equipment

from the fire station until it ap-peared that the water level was going down.

The evacuation preparations were canceled and the firemen were able to join in rescue op-erations.

“Fortunately we were able to join the NTA in responding to calls,” Kinnison said.

An emergency operations center had been established at the NTA office as part of the city’s response plan.

“The main emergency was in the city of Bethany,” which ab-

The Harrison County Commission planned to meet this morning (Wednesday) at the NTA office to assess dam-age from last week’s floods.

Representatives from townships and municipalities were invited to the meeting to submit reports on damage.

Presiding Commissioner Jack Hodge said the as-sessment is in preparation for submitting a claim with FEMA for disaster aid.

I didn’t realize until reading St. Joseph News-Press colum-nist Ken Newton’s feature story about Dr. Carol Fry that the re-tired professor and I shared an experience as youthful connois-seurs of films at Bethany’s two movie theaters.

I have been a lifelong fan of movies—ranging from the early Humphrey Bogart movies to the latest Jurasic Park thrillers—a passion that I shared with my grandfather who rarely missed the opening of a film in Bethany. But Carol has taken his love of movies a step further by becom-ing an author of books about the movies, particularly the horror film genre.

Dr. Fry, the retired English department chairman at North-west Missouri State University, recently came out with a recent book called “Primal Roots of Horror Cinema.”

Carol’s grandparents ran a meat locker in Bethany and on Saturdays he would accompany his mother to Bethany while she worked at the store. This gave him plenty of free time to go to the show.

Carol told Newton that he would see a double feature in the afternoon at the Roxy, now the

BigTime Cinema, and then in the evening at the Noll Theater on the north side of the Square, which burned several years ago.

The Roxy was popular with kids back in the 1950s with a cartoon and a Bulldog Drum-mond serial followed by the cowboy-and-Indian feature. The Roxy was usually crowded for the Saturday afternoon matinee

and kids often had to share seats.The Noll was where our par-

ents would go to the show in the evening when theater owner Frestle Chenoweth would screen the latest Hollywood fare. As hard as it is to believe, Bethany had three theaters in the past, including the Frontier Drive-In located at the southwest edge of Bethany.

Carol graduated from the New Hampton High School in 1950 and went on to enjoy a long career as a professor at

Northwest.“I don’t get to go to many

shows today,” Carol told me in a recent telephone conversation.

But he continues to make a career writing about them from his years of academic study of films and as a film reviewer.

His new book, “Primal Roots of Horror Cinema,” describes the golden era of fright movies

that scared the wits out of adults and children alike.

I’ll never forget the first time that I saw “Frankenstein” on the television late show. Then, years later, I saw “Invasion of the Body Snatchers” and Alfred Hitchcock’s great movie, “Psy-cho” with the horrifying shower scene that made generations fear what was lurking behind the shower curtain.

Carol’s book can be found on amazon.com and other book-stores.

Talesfrom

Buck’s Branchby Phil Conger

125 Years AgoJune 8, 1894

Bret Wren And Ralph Ramer returned last week from Colum-bia where they have been attend-ing the state university.

The city council has pur-chased lots 4, 5 and 6, block 7, in Blackburn’s addition to Bethany for the power house, wells, etc., in Elmwood addition, for the erection of the stand pipe.


Dr. and Mrs. Watkins Broyles and Jerry and Danny are spend-ing several days in the Ozarks.

The ultramodern Tripp tourist court at the highway wye, which has been given the name of El Rancho, will be opened some-time this week.

Shows being shown at the local theaters are Whispering Smith, The Accused, Rose of the

Yukon and Red Canyon.


Memorial ceremonies at the Miriam Cemetery were can-celled due to floodwaters of East big Creek. Up to seven inches of rain fell with water being over the road for 100 yards north of the west Bethany Bridge.


A grain and livestock farm north of Blythedale has become a haven for a family of Vietnam-ese refugees who, after more than a year, have finally found a home in the United States.

Voters in the South Harri-son school district approved by a vote of 907-416 a $600,000 bond issue which will provide the local funding for the North Central Vocational-Technical School.

A scaled-down watershed pro-gram for the West Fork of Big Creek, containing fewer reser-voirs than when the program was first launched years ago, was unveiled last Tuesday night at a landowners meeting in Eag-leville.


John and Kenneth Meek will be getting into the egg business in a big way when their laying hens get into production later in June.

Bethany city Council mem-bers learned Monday night that up to $144,000 could be avail-able for improvements to Beth-any Memorial Park.

With the threat of lingering litigation and negotiations over who is liable for damage to the Bethany Public Library, city officials have decided to take matters into their own hands.

Every weekend, I dredge my mind for ideas for this weekly column. It’s something I’ve done every week for some 26 years that I’ve written a weekly column,

At the start, I told readers, I’d write what I learned this week. That keeps me learning. Ideas never stop coming. It’s a mira-cle.

Earlier this week a speeding pickup almost ran over me in a protected crosswalk on cam-pus. When my heart calmed, I thought I should write about rudeness I see on our streets.

Before I’d decided on my col-umn topic, I read the Saturday New York Times, my morning habit. Start the day with news.

I found references to all of my possible topics in the big metro paper.

A columnist noted increased rudeness being promoted and accepted by our president. A Sat-urday op-ed by NY Times writer Bret Stephens says our president has no interest in “civility and decency.” Now even the White House doesn’t promote civility. We show a rude face to America and the World.

Here, rudest drivers are young men unable to drive slow. They drive big pickup trucks which protect them. They must get somewhere quick.

Speeding vehicles on city streets steal time and place from other drivers.

We who drive at speed limit can’t change lanes without triple

checking rearview mirrors. We must wait for speeders to pass.

Scariest seems when young truckers speed right up to your rear bumper, before braking. It happened again a couple of days ago. That’s a big waste of fuel and brake lining. Speeders add to global warming.

Later, I was astounded by rain reports from across Mis-souri, When airports are flooded it must mean above average rain fell. Some places in north Mis-

souri had overnight rains of 7 inches. Those were followed with rains of 5 to 6 inches the next day. After a wet spring, nothing soaks into the soil.

In weekly teleconferences, MU specialists note that rain might not be depleting nitrogen fertilizer. Water runs sideways, not down into the subsoil, taking nutrients from the root zone.

I dug up a list of potential column ideas last week when I received an unusual honor. A want-to-be journalism student came to visit. He’s interested in farm reporting. A young person not from the Midwest wants to learn and report agriculture.

His J-school teacher suggest-

ed: “Go talk to Duane.” I was honored by the follow up. This sharp student told his surprise with all happening on Missouri farms.

It astounded me he was not doing classwork, but wanted stories to write this summer on his own. We need such ag re-porters.

Then I read a story about all of this water falling from the sky. What we have in Missouri makes a tickle compared to wa-ter at New Orleans. Their levees are failing while the sea rises. Our water heads that way down the flooded Mississippi.

At the start of hurricane season, a storm even close to matching Hurricane Katrina will drown the city. One thousand deaths expected with gushing water to come, the story said.

We’ve built no infrastructure, including levees. The President won’t talk infrastructure with Congressional leaders, who he calls rude.

Just as I was about to finish my column, I saw an item in a Columbia Sunday paper. In a crosswalk downtown, two pe-destrians were run over by a young driver. No details, except victims were hospitalized with serious injuries. No telling yet on guilt. Maybe walkers crossed against the traffic light. I’ve ex-perience a truck in my space in a protected crosswalk.

Reporter says rudeness grows;I see it in young truck drivers

Growing up with a love of movies leads to a book

From early January when the 2019 legislative session began to mid-May when it concluded, I have written 18 Eggleston Re-ports, most of them outlining various bills that were filed and working their way through the general assembly. Now that this year’s session is over, in my next few reports I will update you on how some of those bills turned out.

My January 10th report men-tioned the possibility of an In-ternet sales tax and sports bet-ting. Several House and Senate members filed nearly a dozen bills regarding an internet sales tax to help Missouri’s brick-and-mortar stores compete with their internet counterparts, but those different bills varied quite a bit. How much of a tax to charge, whether it should be structured as sales tax or a use tax, and whether local taxes should be included or just state taxes were all addressed differently in the bills. While some of the bills advanced out of committee, no House or Senate bill made it out of its respective chamber. Therefore, Missourians will not pay any more for their internet purchases in 2019. I imagine

this topic will be revisited next session.

Bills did get passed on the governor’s two main priorities – workforce development and infrastructure. SB 68 contained several ideas for workforce de-velopment, including the Fast-Track program. FastTrack is a tuition reimbursement program to retrain low-skilled, low-income adults for modern tech

and trade jobs. In the final two weeks of session, an amendment was put into SB 68 to give $50M in tax credits to General Motors for agreeing to not close their assembly plant in Wentzville. Some legislators felt that was necessary to save jobs, while others said it was unfair corpo-rate welfare and we should call their bluff. In the end, the bill passed 25-8 in the Senate and 92-51 in the House.

Regarding infrastructure

(road funding), SCR 14 passed authorizing Missouri to borrow about $300 million to repair over 200 rural bridges if we can also be awarded a federal grant to help with the effort. SCR 14 passed the Senate 26-7, and passed the House 107-31, and will not raise taxes on Missouri citizens.

In my January 24th report, I discussed how recent changes in the tax code may have acci-dentally under-withheld some workers’ income tax from their paychecks, increasing the chances of owing the state taxes on April 15 instead of receiving an expected refund. HB 1094 was filed to address this issue, and its language was amended into SB 87 which passed in the legislature on May 16th. It says that no taxpayer who timely files their income tax return for the 2018 tax year shall be assessed any penalty for a delayed or un-derpayment on such tax liability prior to December 31, provided that such taxpayer participates in a good faith payment plan authorized by the Department of Revenue.

In my January 31st report, I outlined HB 397, which cre-ated protections for youngsters who get lured into the world of prostitution. That measure passed the House as a stand-alone bill in late January, and was eventually combined with HB 138 (Simon’s Law) and HB 185 (Hailey’s Law), both named for children who lost their lives under sad circumstances. Simon fell ill, was checked into a hospi-tal, and was put on life support. Simon’s doctor eventually is-sued a Do Not Resuscitate order and pulled the plug on Simon without notifying Simon’s par-ents, which at the time was legal. It won’t be legal if the governor signs HB 397 or HB 138, which both passed this year.

Hailey Owens was a young girl who was abducted and killed in the Springfield area in 2014. It is thought that if an Amber alert had been issued sooner she may have been able to be found and saved. Hailey’s Law ties MULES – the communications system used by various law en-forcement agencies – to the Am-ber alert system so Amber alerts can be issued quicker.

HB 397 also contained sev-eral other provisions to protect Missouri’s youth. This language will become law if Governor Parson signs the bill, which he is expected to do. He has until late June to sign it, and it will go into effect on August 28th.

(Continued From Page 1)Roeslein, a St. Louis-based

company, will be bringing in personnel to work at the biogas operations. The company re-cently purchased a large home in Bethany that will be used as a base for employees to stay while they are shuttled in to work on the projects.

Once complete, the renew-able energy project will produce about 1.3 million dekatherms of natural gas at its nine Smith-field-owned finishing farms in North Missouri.

Smithfield and Roeslein said the “manure-to-energy” project will be the largest project of its kind. The company Monarch Energy will install and utilize infrastructure on Smithfield’s farms in Missouri to capture methane emissions from hog farms and convert them into pipeline-quality natural gas, which will be distributed to

RNG markets across the coun-try.

The biogas created by Mon-arch Bioenergy will be trans-ported through a gas gathering network and purified in a cen-trally located gas cleaning sys-tem designed and installed by Roeslein.

In a project of interest in Har-rison County, Monarch Bioen-ergy will sustainably harvest native prairie crops and cover crops that have been restored on highly-erodible lands.

The two companies will be involved in the project to re-establish the prairie in the Little Creek Farm that was recently purchased by the Nature Con-servancy near the Dunn Ranch.

“We are nearing the comple-tion of restoring an initial 1,000 acres of reconstructed native prairie on Smithfield’s North Missouri farms,” said Bran-don Butler, a spokesman for

Roeslein. “Soon, we will be us-ing a rotational system to harvest and digest the prairie biomass creating revenue for farmers.”

Rudi Roeslein, president of RAE, gave credit to Smithfield for establishing the partner-ship. “From their leadership in creating renewable energy and in conservation, Smithfield is changing what it means to be a food company.”

Brian Buntin, 37, of Bethany was injured Wednesday after-noon when his Kawasaki collid-ed with a car on U.S. 69, about two miles south of Bethany.

According to the Highway Patrol, Buntin was westbound on 190th Avenue when he stopped at a stop sign at the in-tersection with Highway 69. A northbound 2009 Lincoln MKX driven by Amy Ragan, 46, of Bethany attempted to cross Highway 69 into a private drive-way. The car struck the front of the motorcycle, ejecting Buntin.

Buntin received moderate injuries and was taken by NTA ambulance to the Cameron Re-gional Medical Center.

The accident was investi-gated by Trooper T. B. Heintz, assisted by the Harrison County Sheriff’s Office.

Captain James E. McDonald, commanding officer of Troop H, St. Joseph, announced the results of the special enforce-ment projects over the Memo-rial Day weekend. The projects encompassed two days—May 24, 2019, and May 27—desig-nated as the peak travel days for the holiday period. As a result of the projects, officers issued 142 citations and 272 warnings. Officers also made one misde-

meanor drug arrest, one misde-meanor warrant arrest, and as-sisted 29 motorists during the holiday period.

Troop H officers conducted three DWI saturations during the Memorial Day weekend covering the following coun-ties: Caldwell, Clinton, Daviess, DeKalb, Gentry, and Harrison. As a result of those saturations officers issued 19 citations, 95 warnings, and assisted 15 mo-

torists. Officers also made one arrest for minor in possession and one misdemeanor drug ar-rest.

“Troopers were out in force over the Memorial Day weekend and their vigorous enforcement efforts along with increased visibility helped keep Missouri motorists safer while traveling through Troop H,” stated Cap-tain McDonald.

Republican-Clipper photoStore celebrates its first anniversary: Charlene Frame, center, cuts the ribbon on the Good Ole Day convenience store on Friday in New Hampton, which was observing its first year of operation. Helping in the ceremony was Stephanie Williams, facilitator for North Central Missouri Business Facilitation, and Cassie Deskins, right, president of the Bethany Area Chamber of Commerce. The store has been a place for area residents to gather to visit and play cards during the week. The business facilitator agency provided assistance to the store during the past year. Charlene Frame said, ‘”One of the reasons I opened the store was a place for my grandkids to help and learn and to enjoy the people in the community.”

Holding Our Tongues

We rarely regret holding ourtongue, though we oftenregret speaking, especially

when it is done hastily or in anger.Silence also has the virtue of beingimpossible to correct. There are plentyof opportunities to keep silent. Whenothers are gossiping it is usually bestto keep silent or to try to change thesubject. When someone has spoken inanger to us or otherwise hurt ourfeelings, it is tempting to hit back withangry words, but your silence willshow you to be the better person andperhaps convince the other person oftheir own sin. It is especially hard tohold our tongue when someone hassaid something about us that we knowto be false. How much of our speechthroughout the day is nothing morethan an attempt to justify ourselves orpresent ourselves in a better light? Inmodern parlance, we are “virtuesignaling” when we try to correctother’s misperceptions. When I was

growing up I often heard the phrase“self-praise stinks” whenever someonewas going on about how great theywere. Leave the praising of yourself toothers, and let others be the ones tocriticize, to gossip, or to engage in allthe endless chatter that pollutes ourlives. Consider using the time yoursilence has afforded you for morebeneficial endeavors. – ChristopherSimon

“The one who has knowledge useswords with restraint, and whoever hasunderstanding is even-tempered. Evenfools are thought wise if they keep silent,and discerning if they hold theirtongues.”—Proverbs 17:27-28

Another day, another month! Hello June! And hello more rain. Sure hope the rain lets up soon. The ground sounds like a sponge when you walk across it. That is if you don’t sink ankle deep in the mud!

Chad, Cotton, Coy, and Cole Osborn spent Memorial Day and the following Saturday with Gary and Sandy Osborn. They missed Haylie Osborn as she had to work.

Tuesday Kay Herring took Philinda Snethen out to lunch where they met up with Vickie Evans, Anderson Cheny as well as Grant Gibson and Margaret “Teeny” Gibson. They all had a great time. There was no report on what birthday Philinda was celebrating. She did say she was

planning on celebrating another one next year, so guess we’ll have to find out her age next May. Happy Birthday, Philinda!

Friday was the last day of school for the Lamoni Commu-nity School students. The middle school students enjoyed a day at North Park after their awards as-sembly. Liz Carpenter enjoyed the day at the park with the kids.

Friday night Bob Mortimore, Liz Carpenter, Grant Gibson, and Margaret “Teeny” Gibson share a pizza supper with Phil-inda Snethen.

After supper Friday night, Liz Carpenter and Linda Per-kins made a very fast trip to Des Moines for Liz to pick up a new electronic device she had or-dered. They made it to the store

with seven minutes to spare be-fore closing time!

Saturday, June 1, Liz Car-penter, Philinda Snethen, Lisa Stobbe, and Margaret “Teeny” Gibson had another Andover Community of Christ Church yard sale at Philinda’s as part of the Junkin’ on Jefferson sales. Everyone had fun even though it rained a little in the morning. They also made a few dollars to donate to the church.

Cassie Daleske had a yard sale on Saturday as well. Hope it went well because she did a lot of cleaning out and sorting to prepare for the sale.

Sunday evening Holly, Dylan, and Little Benson Parkhurst helped Grandma Traci Lane cel-ebrate her birthday at the Mexi-

can restaurant in Bethany. No re-port on her age, but they all had a good time.

Sunday afternoon Optimist Club members Sophie Ryan, Ju-lie McElroy, and Liz Carpenter sorted cans at Liz’s barn. They almost have enough ready for another trip to the redemption center at Corydon.

Ivan Lane didn’t have any news to report this week. Some of you that are out and about this week, stop by and visit with Ivan so he’ll have some news next week.

Have a good week, be kind to each other, and please keep the farmers in your prayers. The rain is wreaking havoc on their plant-ing and livestock.

Richard and Suzanne Wilson had a full house over Memorial Day Weekend son Richie, Sarah Hayden, Elijah, and Riley Wil-son daughter Shannon, Colby and Chase Williams, Jay and Colton Robbins, and Jim Wilson were there to visit. They put up a big tent for all of them to sleep in, but the weather said that wasn’t going to happen. They also had the Wilson reunion at the legion there was lots of food, music, ping pong and games and memories made.

Kenneth and Barbara McLane had a barbecue at their house on Saturday June 1st. Those at-tending were Levi, Heidi, and Damienn Chaney, Herman and Melanie Chaney, Isaac Chaney, Shyanne Begley, Mina Hick-man, Lonnie Wright, Amanda Zerbe, Miranda Zerbe, Corbin Hutton and Maudy Hutton and Thad Zerbe.

Community Vacation Bible School will begin July 21st and run through July 26th. The host-ing church is Assembly of God this year everyone is more than welcome to attend.

Lila McLain attended great-granddaughter Kaylynn Wolf’s 2nd birthday at the home of her mother and father Sierra and Nathan Wolf and baby sister McKinley in Weatherby. Oth-ers attending were Morgan and Sherry McLain, Lenexa Kansas, grandparents Kay and Randall Thomas, Walker Thomas, Rhon-da and Bryan Pash, Page, Car-son, and Hunter Eads. Several members of the Wolf family, and friends and Neighbors. A fish fry was enjoyed after the party.

Somehow Cole McLains name was missing from the June birthday list, please let me know if anyone else has a birthday I missed.

Lauryn Waddle recently played in the All-Star basketball game sponsored by the Lion’s Club in Trenton Missouri. She played for her East Harrison team along with a team mate Tayla and girls from Mercer and Princeton the team received second place. Those attending to watch the games with Lau-ryn were, Keely Waddle, Blaine Millburn Gunnar McLain, Joe McLain, Christy McLain Chan-dler, Rene Millburn, Adam Millburn and Mark and Dixie Waddle.

The annual Cainsville 4th of July celebration is approach-ing quickly. If there is a group who would like to run a game or set up a booth or someone who would like to volunteer please let us know!

Any and all news is appreci-ated, thanks!

McKinnyCharles L. McKinny, 66, New

Hampton, Mo. passed away Fri-day, May 31, 2019 at his home.

He was born on July 25, 1952 in a log cabin in the country be-tween Mt. Moriah and Gilman City, Mo., the son of Lyle and Mary (Harrison) McKinny. He was a small, sick baby but grew up to be a tough, hardworking man. Charlie spent his years growing up on the farm, milk-ing cows, fishing, and playing cowboys and Indians with his four younger brothers. He also played baseball for years and was catcher for his brothers Jim and John as pitchers, spending many hours on the ball field. Charlie attended South Harrison High School and graduated in 1970. He married Shirley War-ner on April 17, 1982 in New Hampton, Mo. and worked for Grand River Mutual Telephone Corporation for 43 years.

Charlie spent his evenings at-tending his kids’ softball games, wrestling matches, and football games. He served on the school board for 12 years and pastored the Blythedale Christian Church for 20 years. He also served as New Hampton Fire Chief and is currently the New Hampton Mayor. He gardened and shared his time, talents and treasure with those he knew and those he didn’t. His greatest joy was helping and serving others. Not a day went by that he didn’t tell his children and wife he loved them. He was a provider, leader, and faithful servant of Jesus.

He was preceded in death by his father, Lyle; brother, Steve and a sister-in-law, Nancy Wright.

Charlie is survived by his wife, Shirley of the home; son, Paul McKinny (Holly Lacy), Lathrop, Mo.; daughters, Sar-ah (Jared) Ford, New Hamp-ton, Mo., Anna (Matt) Higley, Bethany, Mo. and Maria (Luke) Shively, Kansas City, Mo.; grandchildren, Charleigh, Car-rigan, Kessler, Harrison and Thatcher; mother, Mary McK-inny, Boonville, Mo.; brothers, John McKinny, Milan, Mo., Jim McKinny, Boonville, Mo. and Warren McKinny, Bethany, Mo., and his mother-in-law and brother-in-law, Margaret War-ner and Richard, New Hampton, Mo.

Marilyn FisherOn the morning of May 19,

2019, Marilyn Fisher of Fulton, Mo. and Pelham Ala. went to heaven. She was 79 years old. Marilyn was born to Otto and Marcella Volker in 1939. She married David Fisher in 1958.

She was an excellent cook making delicious multi course meals from scratch for her fam-ily. She was a loving mom and a superior “domestic engineer”. The biggest love of her life was Jesus. So, she led “Good News Clubs” in her home and received an award for having more chil-dren getting saved in one year than anyone else in the Good News Club. She also got her sis-ter Glenda started doing Good News Clubs. This led to Glen-da’s children and their friends being saved. She went to beauty school, had a salon in her home and was an excellent beautician for almost her whole life.

Marilyn is preceded in death by her father, Otto, her mother, Marcella and her son, Scott. She is survived by her children Mark of Columbia, S.C., Kim of Pel-ham, AL, Rhonda (Brian) Bur-ton of Maryville, Mo., her sister Glenda (Burke) O’Connell of Des Moines, Iowa, her brother Gary (Connie) Smith of Dexter, Iowa as well as two grandchil-dren, a great grandchild, nieces and nephews.

A celebration of life service will be held at a later date. On-line condolences may be left at www.robersonfuneralhome.com

ture near the fairgrounds.An investigation by Bruce

Houston of the Highway Pa-trol’s Rural Crime division de-termined that the horse had not been dismembered, as first re-ported, but the injuries found on the horse had been inflicted by predators.

The miniature horse named Quigley was owned by Steve and Lisa Tharp.

The council heard concerns from local residents about drain-age problems in their neighbor-hoods.

Larry Hyre of 1212 South 7th Street asked for help from the city in placing rip-rap to stop erosion in a ditch near his home.

“The ditch is getting deeper and wider,” he said. “There is a ton of water coming down the ditch.

Russel and Sharon Mlika asked the city to address a long-standing drainage problem in their neighborhood at 20th and Hub Club Drive.

City officials said they would ask the street department to look into the problems.

Taylor said city police officer Jesse Miller has given notice to the city that he will be leaving his job. Miller was the recipi-ent of a city grant program that helps pay tuition for new offi-cers to obtain their law enforce-ment training. Taylor said Miller will be required to pay back about $5,658 to the program for leaving the department early.

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 advertising first came into being with the Congress of 1792. That body, recognizing its responsibility to the people, re-quired the Postmaster General to advertise for bids for the construction of new post offices. From that inauspicious beginning to the complex publication requirements in federal, state and lo-cal laws today, government officials have come more and more to understand their obligations to inform the public through Public Notice advertis-ing. 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.)

Chamberlin, Pattons-burg; Destini Mitchell, 14, Beth-any; Alexis Pratt, 15, Bethany, and Dalton Pratt, 13, of Bethany. Another passenger, 15-year-old Joshua Rakestraw, was not in-jured.

The accident was investigated by Trooper D. M. Wilburn, as-sisted by Trooper T. B. Heintz, the Harrison County Sheriff’s Department, the Bethany Po-lice Department and assisted by NTA EMS.

(Continued From Page 1)sorbed the brunt of the storm, the fire chief said.

Kinnison credited NTA’s swift water team with mak-ing several rescues during the night. The first responders, in-cluding the firemen, continued dealing with the storm until about 4 a.m. on Wednesday morning.

Kinnison cited an incident when firemen had to wake up a family on Factory Street to tell them that the water was rising

and had come up to their ve-hicles. The family was able to leave the home without inci-dent.

Mayor Jonne Slemons asked Kinnison whether there were any changes that he would like to see made in the emergency response plan. The fire chief the agencies taking part in the flood operation would have benefitted from having a public information officer who could keep residents informed about the emergency.
