Wastewater plantconstructionto start in March

Construction of Bethany’s new $7 million wastewater treatment plant will finally get underway in March, five years after voters gave overwhelming approval to a revenue bond issue to build the plant.

Bethany officials held a pre-construction meeting with repre-sentatives of the Foley Company of Kansas City, the primary contractor on the project, last Tuesday, Feb. 7, at City hall.

City Administrator Jonne Sle-mons said construction of the plant will get underway on March 6 with completion scheduled for the spring of 2018.

Bethany voters approved the bond issue to build the plant in a spe-cial election on April 3, 2012, when the project received more than 70%

approval in the election. In January, the city approved final

documents with the USDA which will be providing a loan and grant for the construction of the plant. The city will also receive a community development grant from the Missouri Department of Economic Develop-ment to help pay for the sewer plant.

Bethany residents have been paying a $25-a-month charge to pro-vide local funding for the new treat-ment plant.

Bethany’s loan with USDA will be at an interest rate of 1.375% and will kick in after the completion of the plant in 2018. The maturity date will be 2053.

The wastewater plant will be built at the site of the current sewer plant southwest of Bethany.

Bee took place at North Harrison School last Wednesday.

The participants began with a practice round, with all 39 students getting their chance before the real thing began. Nerves were showing for some as they missed words by only one letter, but redeemed them-selves during the first round.

The first round was brutal with many of the students hearing the dreaded “incorrect”. By the second round they were down to a little more then half of the contestants.

When they finally narrowed it down to the top 6, it seemed the winner would be announced soon. They went a round, thought they had a winner and then had to call them all back to try again.

In the end Samantha Patton of South Harrison won the spelling bee with the word “cadenza” which is a virtuoso solo passage inserted into a movement in a concerto or

other work Patton looked shocked and excited to take the top spot and her family in the audience looked on proudly. Madalynn Holt of South Harrison took second place.

First and second place w i n n e r s qualify for the Regional Spelling Bee that will be held at St. Francis Xavier Parish Center in St., Joseph on March 11.

A d r i a n Cracraft from North Harrison placed third and Brooklyn Russell from South Harrison placed second. They will be the alternates for regionals.

Spelling bee winner Samantha Patton thinks about her final word before correctly spelling “cadenza.”

By Phil Conger Clinton and Romayne Cole, who

live in the Countryside Apartments in Bethany, celebrated their 74th Val-entine’s Day as a married couple on Tuesday.

They were crowned on Tuesday as the Valentine king and queen at Crest-view.

The Coles exchanged their wed-ding vows at the home of Romayne’s sister’s minister in St. Joe on Jan. 30, 1943, only a brief time before Clin-ton shipped out with his Army unit to fight the Japanese in the Philippine Islands during World War II.

“We had always known each other,” Romayne said. “We all went to the Fairview Church Sunday School,” southeast of Bethany.

But she said that in those days they weren’t thinking about a future life together. “He was a lot older than me (3 years),” she laughed.

Both attended separate country schools in the neighborhood before heading off to Bethany High School.

Clinton recalled that he and some other boys, including Darryl Hiatt and William Meek, were roommates at Sarah Bryant’s boarding home in Bethany during the school year, as was the custom for a lot of country kids in those days. One of his room-mates, Delno Wooderson, was later killed in the war.

“We had to stay in town to go to school and then went home on the weekends,” Clinton said.

Romayne said her future husband and his friends must have had a lot of fun together while attending school.

“That bunch of boys about drove the teachers crazy,” Romayne said.

Clinton Cole graduated from Bethany High School in 1937 and Romayne three years later in 1940.

Clinton worked on the farm of his parents, Charlie and Nancy Cole, until being inducted into the Army in 1943.

Romayne and one of her girl-friends went to California to be close to their men who were training in infantry at Camp Roberts.

Her parents, Fred and Hazel Wiley, didn’t exactly like the idea, Romayne said. “Our parents thought that it was a little too far for their kids to go,” she recalled.

Clinton left for the Philippines and landed on Mindanao island where there was a fierce battle to root out the Japanese occupation forces.

One of the experiences that has stuck with him over the years involved his platoon sergeant. He said his pla-toon leader had gone home on leave but was anxious to get back with his men. Shortly after his return, he was killed when the enemy threw a hand grenade into his foxhole.

After the war, Clinton and Romayne settled on the family farm where they lived for much of their lives.

Clinton raised Angus cattle and corn on the farm. “He worked the farm and I kept the house,” Romayne said.

But they got off the farm long enough to take up golf. Their friends, Darryl and Ann Hiatt, talked them

into joining the Bethany Country Club, where they were avid golfers for many years.

“We have had fun playing with different friends,” Romayne said.

They lived a few years in Trenton before recently moving back to Beth-any and the Countryside Apartments.

“I feel we have been pretty fortu-nate,” Romayne said.

South Harrison High School Principal Mark Forster submitted his letter of resignation at Monday night’s school board meeting.

Forster came to South Harrison three years ago after serving as the Milan High School principal. Forster had continued to maintain a home in Milan and had rented an apartment in Bethany, commuting back home on the weekend.

“It just got to be too much over time,” Forster said.

Forster will leave South Harrison at the end of his contract on June 31, 2017. He plans to return to Milan where he will explore other profes-sional opportunities.

In other business, the school board accepted a bid from Huffman Outdoor Services of Bethany to pro-vide mowing services on South Har-rison property from May through September. Huffman also will mow

the football field during the summer while others will do the specialized mowing during the football season.

The mowing previously had been handled by the maintenance staff. Huffman will use its own mowing equipment. The school district will pay the contractor $27,500 for the six month mowing service.

The school board approved an evaluation of the district’s safety pro-gram and the emergency response and intervention plan. Superintendent Dennis Eastin reported that school board member Chad Smith has been appointed to the safety committee of the Missouri School Board Associa-tion.

The board also received MSBA policy updates. Eastin said those updates will be referred to the super-intendent’s committee for further consideration.

Natalie Arnold offered contractas elementary principal in St. Joseph South Harrison school officials

received a late night phone call after Monday’s board meeting that Elementary Principal Natalie Arnold will be resigning to accept a similar position in St. Joseph.

Arnold, who has been at South Harrison for six years, will be return-ing to the St. Joseph School District to become principal of the Oak Ele-

mentary School. Information about the St. Joseph

district’s intention to hire Arnold was reported on Tuesday on the St. Joseph News-Press in an article by Clinton Thomas.

Arnold previously was an assis-tant principal in St. Joseph.

Arnold told the Republican-Clip-per on Tuesday that several of her

former colleagues are now located at the Oak Elementary, which was built in 2014.

“I would be working with a lot of familiar faces,” she said.

She will continue as principal here through the rest of the school year.

“I am going to miss the people here,” she said.

39th Street project underway: A construction crew prepares to bury storm water drains at the Bulldog Avenue entrance to 39th Street. The contractor expects to begin pouring concrete for the extension of the street from Bartlett Street to Bulldog early this spring. The project location is in the North TIF District.

Editorial

By Phil CobbFor the second time in less than

a week, sadness overtook us here at the Maryville Daily Forum office, as news of another young person ending their own life reached our ears.

It’s difficult for most people to imagine how things could ever pos-sibly be so bad as to reach that point – that level of darkness.

It’s not easy to admit this, but I’ve been in those dark places—unfortunately, I can relate.

When you’re there, it’s like the whole world is closing in around you, like there’s no way out, like it will never get better, like the light will never reappear.

I don’t pretend to have any answers, but what I do know—and

what I believe these people (not just young people) need to hear—is that there are better days ahead.

No matter how bad it is, no matter what you’ve done, no matter what someone has done to you, it will not always be that way.

Whether or not you can see it right now, you do have a reason to live—God does have a purpose for you.

Whether or not it seems like it at this moment, there are people who care about you, and would miss you if you were gone.

There are lives, and situations, and events over which you have influence, that without you would never be the same.

Your life makes a difference.

And that difference has a ripple effect that goes beyond what we can ever comprehend.

If you choose to go on living, I promise that at some point—mul-tiple points – in your future, you will look back on this day, and be glad you chose life.

Life is nothing without love, and at times it might feel like there is no love to be found.

But know this: God loves you no matter what.

There is nothing—NOTHING— you can do to extinguish His love for you.

He knows, and He forgives… NO. MATTER. WHAT.

And there are people in your life who will love you no matter what.

Sometimes they may seem to be few and far between, but they are there, and you make a difference to them.

And know this: People will let you down, because human beings are by nature selfish and imperfect.

It’s okay. Learn that there is great strength in forgiveness.

With that strength you can achieve perseverance and endurance.

There are better days ahead.Phil Cobb is the editor and owner

of the Maryville Daily Forum.

Commentary

Maryville editor writes about youth suicides

By Irvin IsraelThey flitter and flutter on their way to the ground,Coming in for a landing without making a sound.

They can fly in the day or navigate at night,Such details as time, impact not their flight.

No two are the same or so we’ve been told,But admiring their beauty never gets old.

And how many are falling, I won’t make a bet,But a large number for sure, like the National debt.

The formula for snow is easy to report,Being used successfully by many a resort.

It’s time for these musing to come to an end,So I’m reaching for the button that is marked send.

The above observations are all far from new,So any more stanzas will be coming from you.

By Phil CongerThe Jefferson Highway, the “Palm to

Pine” highway running from New Orleans, Louisiana, to Winnipeg, Manitoba, will be getting an overdue tribute from communities in southern Iowa and northern Missouri on the first weekend in June.

Perhaps no other event has secured Harri-son County’s position as a transportation hub as the construction of the Jefferson Highway during the years 1916-17. The development of this first interstate route was an early step in the construction of U.S. 69 and later, in the early 1970s, the establishment of I-35.

The impact that these highways have had on the economy of Harrison County is incal-culable. I often wonder whether the opening of the Jefferson Highway, six years before, might have made my grandparents pull up stakes in Newkirk, Okla., and bring their three children to Bethany where they purchased and merged the Republican and Clipper news-papers. This looked like an up and coming town with its ribbon of concrete passing right through the center of town.

What a technological marvel that the Jefferson Highway was for midwesterners. Hundreds of local residents were involved in the planning and construction of the concrete route including local men who served on the planning commission and the men from Bethany and Eagleville who volunteered to serve on drag line crews that cut the high-way through the hills on its way northward. Preparing the route for concrete crews was almost a celebration with women cooking lunch for the volunteers as they pushed their way through the county.

From the Canadian border to New Orleans, Bethany had a unique spot on the highway

that can immediately be seen by looking at old tourist maps. The highway traveled from the north and split at Bethany where one leg of the highway went through New Hampton to St. Joe and the other went to Excelsior Springs, Mo., where the route rejoined on the way to New Orleans.

Finally, 100 years later, the highway is get-ting its due when groups from Osceola, Iowa, to Bethany are preparing for a centennial celebration in June.

Peggy Hansen of Etta May’s Corner and John Ross of the Lions Club have been involved in the planning for the “Junkin’ on the Jefferson” weekend when towns up and down the route will be holding special sales events in celebration of the event. The Lions Club plans to hold a car show that weekend. Organizations in Osceola, Leon, Lamoni and Eagleville have also been invited to take part in the event.

Information about the history of the Jef-ferson Highway can be found at the Bethany Public Library. This was prepared by Steve Hendricks of the Cameron Historical Society. The photos showing citizens involved in the construction of the highway are a remarkable look at the history of this area from early in the last century.

Bethany has been a late comer in planning for the celebration. Much of that effort began in Leon and Lamoni where two videographers prepared a film about the route and where the state of Iowa will be placing markers along the highway. Ross hopes to show that film in Bethany. Missouri needs to get its act together for a highway that was built 40 years before the first slab of concrete was laid in St. Charles, Mo., at the start of President Dwight Eisenhower’s interstate highway system.

A new cure for inebriety is announced, although its nature is not made known. Its owner has confi-dence enough in it to undertake the founding of a great institution at Washington, evidently believing that he will find more patients there than anywhere else.

In this part of the world whatever effectiveness there might be in the infliction of the death penalty is lost in the delays, the deliberation, and the postponement, which seem to be the inevitable consequence of the long time, which is allowed to elapse between conviction and execution.

Dean VanHoozer of Blythedale was elected here last night as presi-dent of the Young Democrats of Har-rison County.

Two slot machines operating with cigarettes as prizes but on the spins of which Prosecutor George B. Kautz has been told wagers also were being made, were taken up Wednesday at Mt. Moriah by Sheriff H.L. McCol-lum and Deputy R.L. Walker.

As nearly as the R.-C. could learn yesterday, rumors that Sears, Roe-buck & Co. is seeking a location for a Bethany store out at the Wye, or along the highway cut-off east Bethany, were brought here by a St. Joseph man.

The Mahaska schoolhouse, about eight miles northwest of Bethany, burned last Tuesday night.

Over the end of the week the ownership of the Wheeler Drug Co. passed from Fred K. Wheeler to his son-in-law, Erven Clift, who will continue its operation under the same name and with the assistance of Ray-mond Wheeler.

Despite indication of strong sup-port in Mt. Moriah for the retention of the present grade school arrange-ment there, the South Harrison board of education will likely take a “hard look” at possible changes in the pro-gram in that community. The present enrollment in Mt. Moriah is 48 stu-dents and expected to decline next year.

A proposed gasification plant which would convert the Green Hills region’s abundant coal deposits into synthetic natural gas probably would not be located in the immediate vicin-ity of Harrison County. The devel-opment expert said the most logical location for the new gasification plant would be somewhere in the nine-county Green Hills region, indicating that it would be built in the vicinity of Sullivan or Putnam counties.

After nearly 20 months after the discovery of Alfred Pinegar’s body on a farm near Ridgeway, John Mid-dleton, 36, of Spickard, Mo., will stand trial next week in Kirksville for the shotgun slaying of Pinegar, a resi-dent of Davis City, Iowa.

Members of the South Harri-son KIDS (Keep Improving Dis-trict Schools) Steering Committee reported Thursday night that efforts to inform voters concerning the upcom-ing bond issue for the construction of a new elementary school are kicking into high gear.

Harrison County Community Hos-pital held an open house last week to showcase the hospital’s new equip-ment to members of the community.

If your farm has been in your family since Dec. 31, 1917, you can apply to have it recognized as a Mis-souri Century Farm.

To qualify, farms must meet the following guidelines. The same family must have owned the farm for 100 consecutive years. The line of ownership from the original settler or buyer may be through children, grandchildren, siblings, and nephews or nieces, including through marriage or adoption. The farm must be at least

40 acres of the original land acquisi-tion and make a financial contribu-tion to the overall farm income.

University of Missouri Vice-Chancellor for Extension and Engagement Marshall Stewart said, “Family farms have been among our most vital partners since the found-ing of extension more than 100 years ago.”

“Missouri Farm Bureau is a proud partner in the recognition of century farms,” said Blake Hurst, president.

“We applaud the hard-working farm families that have kept us fed and clothed for generations. They repre-sent an important part of our heritage and laid a foundation for the bounty Americans enjoy every day.”

Applicants certified as owners of a 2017 Missouri Century Farm will be recognized by the MU Extension center in the county where the farm is located. Applicants are presented with a sign and a certificate.

For applications received by May

1, a $55 fee covers the cost of a cer-tificate, farm sign and booklet for approved applicants. If the applica-tion is received between May 1 and May 15, the cost is $65. Applica-tions must be postmarked by May 15, 2017, to be considered.

For application forms and infor-mation, call Extension Publications toll-free at 1-800-292-0969, contact your local MU Extension center, or visit the program website at exten-sion.missouri.edu/centuryfarm.

Cainsville churches will hold an emergency planning meeting at 6 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 27, at the Cainsville R-1 School.

Mayor Richard Wilson said the churches would serve as locations for the distribution of emergency sup-plies in case of a national emergency or a health crisis.

The Harrison County Health Department has been working with local faith-based organizations to establish Points of Distribution (PODs) to provide medicine to resi-dents during a disaster.

Wilson said law enforcement agencies and health care providers have been invited to join the local congregations in emergency plan-ning.

The Cainsville churches have decided to join together to establish closed PODs for their congregations and families. Mt. Moriah has also been invited to join in the planning.

A training session will be held in March, Wilson said. Kansas City Power & Light has

filed notice that it plans to construct a lattice communications tower on property northeast of Bethany.

KCP&L said the 199-foot radio communications tower will be built on property leased from Andrew and Shila Callaway on East 292nd Street.

The electric company, which serves part of Harrison County, said it has already completed an obstruc-tion evaluation study and has filed for an antenna structure registration for a self-supporting tower with no obstruction lighting or markings.

Feb. 13—Ashli S. Singleton, 30, Knoxville, Iowa, driving while suspended, Class D misdemeanor, exceeding the posted speed limit.

Feb. 10—Bert L. Allison, 38, Bethany, possession of less than 10 grams of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia.

The City of New Hampton held their city council meeting Jan. 12.

During the meeting many items were discussed. Discussion was held regarding a radio for the night watch-man. The estimated cost is $500. Stacy Coots will research possible grants to cover the cost. Alderman Langfitt will investigate the cost/availability of used equipment. Gov-ernment auction sites will also be checked.

A motion was made to purchase the supplies for the Main Street/Hwy EE repair at an estimated cost of $925 from Prinsco. The motion was car-ried.

Alderman Griffith made a motion to purchase a tube for the materials lot driveway at a cost of $300 or less. The motion was carried.

They also discussed banning com-pression engine breaks in city limits,

and to post 3 signs at a cost of $15 or less per sign.

Stacy Coots presented a fund-raiser plan, A Day for Play set for Sat-urday, March 25. The fundraiser will consist of a spaghetti supper, silent auction and games.

Kerri Peters presented estimates from four attorneys on the Quiet Title Claim for the materials lot deed. Alderman Griffith made a motion to retain the services of Christine Stall-ings and to request a meeting with her to discuss the possibility of her being the city attorney.

Alderman Hunt suggested that the City offer lower utility rates to any Missouri Highway patrolman or Harrison County Sheriff/Deputy who would move into New Hampton. After discussion, Alderman Griffith motioned to give a 50% discount. The motion was carried.

Bethany banker Dan Daniel and his wife Cindy spend a lot of week-ends on the road driving to Cowboy Action shoots where they test their skills with vintage rifles and shot-guns.

Cindy, Bethany’s postmaster, and Dan are avid shooters who take their firearm collection to competitive events held on weekends at ranges in Mt. Ayr, Iowa, and Higginsville, Mo.

Daniel spoke about the hobby at last Thursday’s meeting of the Rotary Club, where he and Cindy are both members.

Daniel explained that it isn’t just about the shooting. Participants in the Cowboy Action events are expected to dress up in costumes from the Old West times.

Mr. and Mrs. Daniel have been joined at some of the shoots by Bryan Polley and the Randy Klin-gensmiths and Adam Klingensmith, among others.

The shooters fire their rifles, shot-guns and pistols at six stations where targets are situated replicating buck boards and store fronts.

Daniel said it is a timed event meant for fun.

“You don’t get any prizes,” he said. “It’s just for bragging rights.”

Daniel uses a pistol, a lever-action shotgun like the one used in the Monte Walsh film and a Sharp’s

.45-70 buffalo rifle. The shooters fire from 120 to 125 shells during the event but don’t let anything go to waste.

“You keep all your brass and reload it,” Daniel said about the Cowboy Action shoots.

ProtectYourHealth

The advice to protect your health might seem obvious, but then why do somany of us engage in unhealthy lifestyles? Most of us eat too much andexercise too little. We ignore our need for sleep, we drive carelessly, and

otherwise adopt lifestyles which put our health at risk. Good health is bothintrinsically and extrinsically good. That is, it is inherently good, or good in and ofitself, but it is also good as a means to other ends, such as happiness. It is difficultto be happy if you are sick or simply living a very unhealthy life, and without goodhealth it is almost impossible to enjoy the other good things in life. So protectyour health as one of life’s greatest assets, and if you are neglecting any of themajor contributors to good health, make a genuine effort to work on them. Don’trationalize your bad health habits by thinking that experts disagree on theseissues. There may be disagreement on some of the details of healthy living, butthere is broad consensus on the essentials of healthy living. Eat a variety of healthyfoods, exercise daily, get enough sleep every night (and have a regular sleepschedule), avoid dangerous activities, such as driving while distracted or notwearing a seatbelt, and avoid dangerous drugs. It’s pretty simple, and the benefitsof healthy living are inestimable. – Christopher Simon

“Dear friend, I pray that you mayenjoy good health and that all maygo well with you, even as your soulis getting along well.”—3 John 1:2 NIV

Barbara June (Bartlett) Landes

Barbara June (Bartlett) Landes, 91, of Wathena, Kan., passed away Friday, February 10, 2017 at the Mosaic Life Care of St. Joseph, Mo.

Barbara was born in Harrison County, Mo., on June 7, 1925 to Francis and Pearl Nalley Bartlett. She lived in Bethany, Mo., Stan-berry, Mo., and the past 47 years in Wathena, Kan.

Barbara worked all of her adult life and enjoyed working at the Corner Drug Store in Bethany, Mo., Hansen Pharmacy in Stanberry, Mo., and the Hoof and Horn and the Frederick Inn in St. Joseph, Mo., plus many other places. She was a member of the First Baptist Church in Wathena, Kan.

Milestone BirthdayColleen Goepferich is turning 88

on February 17. Her family would like to acknowledge her birthday with our love and invite her friends and family to send there best wishes as well. Her address is 2002 Home Street, Bethany, MO 64424.

It’s hard to believe the weather we have been having in this area. It seems more like late March or early April.    The  geese  are  flying  and  it makes you think spring is just around the corner. Hope we don’t have any major surprises but winter is still not far away either. We have been far more fortunate weather-wise than north, south, east and west, where some pretty bad storms have caused many major problems, so let’s be thankful and enjoy while it lasts.

Sympathy is extended to the family of Brett Joshua Dillivan who died this past week at age 19. His graveside service and burial was Saturday at Grandview in Albany. His mother, Jennifer Clark Dillivan Runnels and grandmother Ena Clark Fenimore and brother Robbie lived in New Hampton for a while. Great-grandparents Max and the late Fern Clark lived southeast of New Hamp-ton.

Sympathy is also extended to the Hilsabeck family at Barnard for the death of their daughter, Bailee this past week also. She was buried after her funeral at South Nodaway High School on her 17th birthday.

Any death is extremely sad for family and friends, but it is a natural part of life when we grow old, but it is such a tragedy when young lives of children and teenagers are ended. Love your families and children,

especially, as none of us knows when our time will be up on this earth. Enjoy each day you are granted.

My apologies to Jacob Starmer! I unintentionally left him out of the South Harrison homecoming roy-alty.  Jacob is a fine young man, a son of Steve and Debbie Starmer, and grandson of Gary and Linda Barnett, New Hampton and Larry and Dixie Starmer, Martinsville. I always try to include the ones from New Hamp-ton and Martinsville. Jacob and his parents and siblings live near Mar-tinsville.

Bonnie Magee is doing well but had no visitors this week. She hears from her family about every day and has helpers with her in her home.

There are quite a few sick with flu and colds in the area.  Be sure to drink lots of liquids so you don’t get dehydrated if you are ill.

Margie Warner had a big day last Tuesday. Janie (Barber) Lipara came up from St. Joseph to visit her good friends Shirley and Charlie McKin-ney and Janie and Shirley came out to see Margie and Richard. Janie brought Margie a bunch of pretty roses for a get-well and valentine present. In the evening, Paulie McK-inny and Holly Lacey, Lathrop, came to visit Charlie and Shirley McKinny and stopped by to see Margie and Richard for a visit before returning home.

Sharon Elaine HopkinsSharon Elaine Hopkins, 61, of Ea-

gleville, Mo., along with her beloved cat, Bandit, passed away Saturday, February 11, 2017 at her home in Ea-gleville, Mo.

She was born May 2, 1955 in Beth-any, Mo., the daughter of Phil Hop-kins and Anna (Thompson) Allen.

Sharon was a member of the Bly-thedale Methodist Church and choir. She attended school in Eagleville where she enjoyed playing softball and basketball. She was an avid FFA member. She graduated in May 1973 from North Harrison R-III High School. She continued to play sum-mer softball and also coached many successful years.

Sharon was always a dedicated hard worker. She enjoyed mowing yards and continued to take a lot of pride in her yard work throughout her life. She operated the Hopkins Car Wash in Eagleville and Lamoni for many years, worked for Lambert’s in Bethany and O’Brien’s in Leon, Iowa.

She became a bonding deputy of Harrison County and worked at the weigh scales from 1990 until 1992. She started working at the Post Of-fice in Bethany, Mo., on May 4, 1991 as part-time and later changing to full time. She had some very special

postal customers who would leave her goodies in the mailbox; they knew she loved chocolate. Christ-mas time was like a candy store with all the homemade baked goods she received. She retired in May of 2015 from the post office after 24 ½ years of service.

Sharon enjoyed attending Wes and Derek Collins’ school activities at Gallatin and Kyla, Katie, Blake and Brett Emig’s activities in Eagleville. She was their best buddy and leader in trouble making.

Sharon’s favorite hobby was fish-ing. She moved back to the old home place a few years ago where she was able to work in the fields again and fish in the pond north of her home.

She was preceded in death by her father, Phil Hopkins; paternal grand-parents, Claude and Gladys (Allman) Hopkins and maternal grandpar-ents, Grady and Lucille (McDaniel) Thompson.

Survivors include her mother, Anna (Robert) Allen, Eagleville, Mo., and brothers, Steve Hopkins, Blythedale, Mo., and Stan Hopkins, St. Joseph, Mo. Celebration of Life for Sharon and Bandit was held Tuesday, February 14, 2017 at Roberson Funeral Home, Eagleville, Mo.; burial in Cedar Hill Cemetery, Blythedale, Mo. In Lieu of flowers memorials may be made to the North Harrison Athletic Depart-ment and/or Eagleville Ball Asso-ciation in care of Roberson Funeral Home, P.O. Box 46, Eagleville, MO 64442.

Ethel June WileyEthel June Wiley, 100, formerly of

Frontenac, Kan., passed away Thurs-day, February 9, 2017 at Liberty Hos-pital, Liberty, Mo.

She was born June 23, 1916 in Ea-gleville, Mo., the daughter of James C. and Harriett Elizabeth (Blake) Mc-Whinney.

Before Ethel was born, a sister, Velma, died at age 10. Ethel’s love of animals began on the family farm where she grew up with her four sib-lings: Blanche, Virgil, Vernon, and “Tommy” Cleone, a younger brother who died at the age of four. The fam-ily regularly attended the Eagleville Methodist Church where she was baptized at the age of eight. Ethel graduated from Eagleville High School in 1934. While working in a Council Bluffs, Iowa, restaurant, she met Raymond Bietry. They were married at the Eagleville Method-ist Church on September 18, 1938. Ray’s family business was building greenhouses, which took the couple to nine different states the first years of their marriage. They moved to Kansas City in 1942 where both worked for Pratt-Whitney making airplane engine parts. After WWII ended, they settled in Santa Barbara, Calif., where Ray contin-ued to do greenhouse work and Ethel found work as a doctor’s office helper. While working with Dr. Whitney, she attended nursing school. She worked 20 years as his nurse assistant.

Ray passed away in 1965. Ethel married Clyde Wiley February 6, 1977 in California. They moved to Frontenac, Kan., his hometown. She became a member of the First Chris-tian (Disciples of Christ) Church in Pittsburg where she served as an el-der and made many friends. Clyde died in 2002. She continued to live alone in Frontenac until late 2016 when she moved to a Kearney, Mo., nursing home.

“Aunt June” as some nieces called her, did not have children of her own, but she was a very special aunt to all her nieces and nephews. While living

New Hampton News Maudine Bennum 439-2363 <maudinebennum@gmail.com>

Other visitors this week with Margie and Richard Warner were Charlie and Shirley McKinny, Sarah Ford, Charleigh, Carrigan and Kes-sler and Nancy Wright. Joann Hill-yard, Kearney, called to visit with Margie one day this week. Shirley McKinney took Margie to Liberty for a doctor’s appointment Wednesday and  doctor  said  she  was  doing  fine and released her. She still has to take it easy for another month so her back and ribs can get fully healed. Margie said she is feeling much better and getting stronger. We are so glad she is doing well.

Kitty Anthony celebrated her 90th birthday on Sunday, Feb. 12. Kitty has not been feeling very well recently, but we hope she had a great day on her birthday. We all love you Miss Kitty!

Tom Lambert came up Friday and took his mother-in-law, Maudine Bennum to Bethany for routine blood work and brought her home again. Sunday evening, Pat and Tom Lam-bert came and brought a few groceries to Maudine and also brought a pizza for supper. I don’t eat pizza often these days and it was really good.

The info I was looking for I didn’t find  and  Pat  didn’t  either  on  the South Harrison wrestlers who quali-fied for state in the St. Joseph News-Press. I understand that Lane Fuston and Wyatt Starmer were among the group. Lane is a son of Jeremy and Kathy Fuston, New Hampton. Wyatt is a son of the Mark Starmer’s, Beth-any and grandson of Larry and Dixie Starmer, Martinsville. Congratula-tions to Lane and Wyatt and the rest of the team who will be going to state.

Fern Baker Douthat posted on Facebook that her husband, Dale, has been moved from The Groves to The Seasons, a nursing facility which is closer to there home. The new address is 15600 West Chapel Road, Kansas City, MO 64139. Dale and Fern both grew up in this community and graduated from high school at South Harrison. They lived here for a number of years after their marriage and some of their family was born here.

Sarah Crabtree Sissel is home after spending some time at Harrison County Community Hospital. Sarah grew up in the Matkins community and she and husband Dean lived east of Matkins before moving to Beth-any. We hope she keeps improving now that she’s home again.

Rev. Don Hoffman, Cameron, was the speaker Sunday at the New Hamp-ton United Methodist Church. His

away from Missouri, she regularly corresponded with family members, keeping in touch through her long in-teresting letters.

She was preceded in death by her parents; all of her siblings; two hus-bands, Raymond Bietry and Clyde Wiley; a nephew, Leroy Trammell; and two nieces, Maxine Swigart and Dorothy Davis.

Happy anniversary to Mr. and Mrs. Brad Fenimore on the 21st and anyone else celebrating their big day this week.

One of our greatest presidents, Abraham Lincoln, celebrated his birthday on Feb. 12. He was the Commander-in-Chief during one of the most heartbreaking periods of our country’s history, when brothers fought against brothers and families were divided in their loyalty to North and South. You don’t have to go very far south of our area before you come to areas, which were devas-tated by actions from soldiers from both sides and guerillas also. There were a number of battles around Lib-erty, Independence, Lee’s Summit, Lexington, and other places. Jack-son, Bates and Cass Counties were referred to as “the burned out district. Many atrocities occurred on both sides. I’m sure many of us have the same stories in our families of this time period.

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 advertis-ing 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 inauspicious beginning to the complex publication requirements in federal, state and local laws today, government officials have come more and more to understand their obligations to inform the public through Public Notice advertising. 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.)

The following story is being reprinted because the end of the arti-cle was missing in last week’s paper.

A hot air balloon that was seen rising from the parking lot of the South Harrison Middle School on Sunday morning, Feb. 5, created a mystery in Bethany among local residents who saw the flight.

Curt Fletchall, who lives in the Daily Addition, spotted the balloon from his deck and took a picture of it as it rose in the air. A crew in a chase vehicle was on the ground helping to launch the balloon at about 10 a.m. Sunday.

Fletchall did some research on Google and found an article in the Austin Daily Herald in Minnesota that told about the balloon flight.

The Austin newspaper reported that the balloon was piloted by Tim

The Missouri Auditor’s Office will begin its audit of the city of Bethany this spring, according to a spokesman for State Auditor Nicole Galloway.

A successful petition drive was carried out in Bethany last year asking

for an audit of the city’s records.“The audit should be completed

before the end of the year,” said Gena Terlizzi, director of communications for the auditor’s office.

The Bethany Library Board made plans for the Dr. Seuss Party during its meeting last Wednesday at the library.

Library personnel and volunteers will dress up as Dr. Seuss charac-ters for the party from 4 to 5 p.m. on March 2. The party celebrates the birthday of the famous children’s book author.

Refreshments inspired by Dr. Seuss’ books will be served to chil-dren attending the party.

The South Harrison Student Council will hold a Color Out Cancer fundraiser on Thursday night, Feb. 16, at the game against Worth County.

Shirts will be available for pur-

chase and there will be a free-will donation potato bar starting at 5 p.m. The final home games of the season start at 6 p.m.

Jarod Hillyard, 30 of Bethany, was in an accident the evening of Feb. 8, two miles northwest of Bethany. Hillyard received moderate injuries and was taken to the Harrison County hospital by the NTA ambulance.

Hillyard was traveling east on Route F when he traveled off the south side of the roadway, he then overcorrected and got the vehicle back on the roadway only to have it skid counterclockwise across Route F and travel off the north side of the roadway. The vehicle then traveled down an embankment and overturned with the vehicle coming to rest on its top.

Corporal C.J. Sullivan investi-gated the scene. Harrison County sheriff’s office assisted.

Attorney General Josh Hawley announced earlier this week that Missouri has filed suit challenging Obama Administration rules that drastically expand federal power over farm and ranch land across Missouri and the nation.

The rules in question expand the definition of “critical habitat” for endangered and threatened species. Missouri joins 19 other states in the suit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Alabama against the U.S. Secretary of the Inte-rior, National Marine Fisheries Ser-

vice, U.S. Secretary of Commerce and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

“These sweeping regulations, adopted in the final days of the Obama Administration, are a starting power grab that could affect every farmer in Missouri,” Hawley said. “The rules are not authorized by law. They will hurt our farmers and our workers and cost Missouri jobs.”

The rules would permit the fed-eral government to designate any land or area as “critical habitat” for endangered species if the govern-ment deemed the land might host an endangered species at a future date. Designating land as “critical habitat”

imposes stringent controls on land use.

The suit alleges that the Obama Administration unlawfully adopted the rules in violation of federal law.

“The Final Rules are an unlawful attempt to expand regulatory author-ity and control over State lands and waters and should be vacated and enjoined because they violate the Endangered Species Act and the Administrative Procedure Act,” the suit reads. “The Final Rules tram-ple upon the sovereign rights of the States as landowners and stewards of their natural resources.”

The City of Cainsville held their January meeting Jan. 3 at 7 p.m. Those present were, president Mela-nie Chaney, Rebecca Deskins, Dale Duval, Andy Burrows, Dan Buck-ley, Tracy McLain and Tara Robbins. Mayor Richard Wilson and Kathy McLain were absent.

During the meeting sealed bids for trash contract bids were received, they were from Advanced Disposal, Rapid Removal and Earl Bender. The bids were presented to President Chaney and reviewed by the board. Rapid Removals bid was accepted for a five-year contact.

During the meeting they also went over the bills and financial report for the boards approval and reviewed minutes from the previous meeting. A personal property tax letter was also sent out and the ramp at the commu-nity building was discussed.

The City of Cainsville also had a disaster-planning meeting that was held Jan. 26.

Cloyd who was on an “Extreme Flight to Find a Cure” as a fundraiser for the American Cancer Society.

Cloyd said he drove south from Minnesota to find a patch of clear sky in which to launch his flight. He said he originally intended to begin his flight in Indianola, Iowa, but found more cloudy weather. He finally arrived in Bethany where he took off from the school property.

“I had to go south to find the sun,” Cloyd told the Daily Herald. “But after that it was beautiful.

Cloyd’s balloon reached an alti-tude of 16,310 feet and headed east across northern Missouri to Illinois on a flight that took him 192 miles.

He recited the names of 59 persons who have dealt with cancer during his “Lifting Up a Loved One” portion of the flight, the newspaper said.
