County to receivenearly $1 millionin Covid-19 aid

The Harrison County Health Department issued a new public health order concerning the re-opening of businesses on May 4.

The order, signed by Health Department Administrator Courtney Cross, requires the fol-lowing:

All Persons shall:1. Remain home if sick or ill,

except to seek medical treatment from a licensed medical pro-vider.

2. Implement personal pro-tective measures, such as stay-ing home when sick, frequent handwashing, and routine clean-ing of surfaces.

3. Engage in social distancing by taking responsible efforts to be separated from other individ-uals by at least six (6) feet.

4. Take enhanced precaution-ary measures (such as staying home as much as practical and avoiding group gatherings) to mitigate the risks of contract-ing COVID-19 if included in the high risk population.

All businesses shall:1. Limit the number of per-

sons in any particular location as follows:

• 25% or less of the entity’s authorized fire or building code occupancy for businesses with a square footage less than 10,000 square feet.

• 10% or less of the entity’s authorized fire or building code

occupancy for businesses with a square footage of 10,000 square feet or more.

• Base occupancy shall be calculated by municipal code, if applicable, or at the rate of 1 person per thirty square feet if located in a municipality whose code does not define occupancy load, or for any business located within an unincorporated area of Harrison County.

2. Maintain a distance of at least six feet between all per-sons.

3. Provide alternative protec-tive measures, including but not limited to coverings for the nose and mouth for employees whose regular job duties require them to work closer than six feet from other employees or customers.

4. Continue to permit all employees who are capable of working from their residence or regular place of abode.

5. Require ill employees to exclude themselves from work while sick or ill until such time as employee’s symptoms have resolved, or they have been cleared to return to work from a licensed healthcare provider.

6. Provide for regular clean-ing, disinfection, and other miti-gation of risk

Violation of this Order consti-tutes an imminent threat to pub-lic health and shall be in viola-tion of RSMo 192.300(4)

Training issue mayprevent pool opening

With the number of CO-VID-19 cases holding steady at six—all of whom have been listed as recovered—Harrison County has slowly begun open-ing up following the expiration of the stay-a-home order over the weekend.

The courthouse, which had been closed for more than three weeks, reopened Monday morn-ing with in-person access to of-fices. Some local restaurants were expected to reopen their dining rooms using social-dis-tancing practices.

The doors on the County Clerk’s Office will be locked to prevent large groups from gath-ering inside. Persons may gain

admittance by knocking on the door. Greta Bottcher, county clerk, said the office will attempt to limit admittance to 10 persons at a time because of social dis-tancing requirements.

Residents may resume cast-ing absentee votes in the mu-nicipal election which has been postponed until June 2. Debbie Read, county election clerk, said absentee voting has been very light with only 95 ballots cast prior to the closing of the court-house. Residents will be voting in several local elections and on the renewal of the county’s half-cent sales tax to purchase gravel for township roads.

By Emma CoulthardWith restrictions being lifted

little by little, starting Monday, May 4, restaurants in the area are able to open their dining rooms back up but at limited capacities and with other restrictions.

El Nopal will be opening their dining room with only 50% of their maximum capacity and cannot have more than 10 people

sitting at a single table, with six feet between tables. Their hours will remain the same as before Sunday-Thursday 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Friday and Saturday 11 a.m. to 9:30 p.m.

Toot-Toot Restaurant will be opening their dining rooms back up as well. They will be serving

This will be the strangest summer in the long history of Bethany Memorial Park.

The COVID-19 pandemic has made it necessary to cancel all large gatherings at the park. The baseball fields will be largely vacant after the Harrison County Softball and Little League orga-nizations decided to cancel all games this season following the guidance of health officials and national associations.

The organizations expressed that they were heartbroken to cancel the summer program but felt that they would not be able to meet the new state and federal guidelines in a “safe and healthy manner.”

In their announcement, Soft-ball League President Amy Briggs and Little League Presi-dent Jarrod Cornett encouraged residents “to enjoy your summer and make family time a priority to help successfully reopen our state.”

Last weekend marked the usual start of the summer ball

program. The Rotary Club usu-ally plans a biscuits and gravy breakfast to raise money to help the local ball leagues. The teams are introduced at a ceremony on a Sunday. But all of these events have been canceled.

The ball leagues were plan-ning an opening day celebra-tion at the Babe Adams field where stadium seating has been installed. That will have to be postponed until opening day in 2021.

“We were on the path to have one of the largest summer ball programs in county history,” said a disappointed baseball of-ficial Jeremy VanMeter.

VanMeter, who manages the American Legion baseball pro-gram, said this year’s games have also been canceled.

The park will remain open during the summer for family gatherings, pick-up ball games and picnicking. But the play-ground equipment will remain off limits to prevent the spread of the virus through touch.

South Harrison to hold graduation on June 24

South Harrison High School finalized the date for the 2020 commencement on Monday.

Principal Jason Slaughter said the graduation will be held at 2 p.m. on Sunday, June 14, at Memorial Stadium. Slaugh-ter had conferred with seniors and parents on Zoom before setting the date for the outdoor

will make it possible for social distancing for the event. The graduation would be moved for July 26 in case of an exten-sion of pandemic orders.

The junior-senior prom had already been scheduled for July 18.

Missouri counties will re-ceive $521 million from the federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act.

That money should be distrib-uted to entities within the coun-ty, according to state Treasurer Scott Fitzpatrick.

Harrison County will receive $979,856 in CARE funding, ac-cording to information released last week. Allocations for other counties are: Gentry County, $770,909; Daviess, $971,175, and Grundy, $1,155.602.

Fitzpatrick said the state is slotted to receive $2.83 billion from the CARES Act. He said approximately 25%, or $521 million, will be sent directly to local governments — which was decided by the supplemental

budget passed by the Missouri House on April 7— leaving the state more than $1.5 billion to cover other COVID-19 related expenses.

Fitzpatrick is the chair of the CARES Act Funding Working Group, which was formed to re-search and decide how to spend and disperse Missouri’s CARES Act money.

The group had its first meet-ing Tuesday after the federal government released spending guidelines for COVID-19 relief funding last week.

“This is a lot of money. We’re going to be give $521 million to counties, some counties where this is going to be a substantial portion of their operating budget for an entire year,” Fitzpatrick said.

Bethany Park and Recreation Board members struggled to find a way to reopen the Bethany Aquatic Center for the summer season during a meeting Mon-day night at The Gym.

The meeting was held on the basketball court to allow specta-tors to spread out to the required six-foot distance from each oth-er.

Aaron Baker, parks director, said it’s certain that the pool could not be ready for the tradi-tional opening of the swimming

season on Memorial Day. Baker said a training session for new lifeguards could not begin until after May 31 and the pool would need to obtain new protective equipment for the pool person-nel.

“It is hard to put our staff and others at risk,” Baker said.

The pool currently has five trained lifeguards ready to come back but will need 15 more to keep a watch on swimmers and

In the first week back from the five-week, virus-caused break, the Missouri House passed a new budget proposal for fiscal year 2021, which runs from July 1, 2020 to June 30, 2021. Some members wore breath masks. Others didn’t. There were no handshakes or fist bumps. And the legislature showed that nor-mal business can be conducted while practicing safe health care measures.

The $34 billion budget was originally reported to be a $700 million cut, but that was mis-leading. A “cut” implies less money will be spent this year than last year. This budget is ac-tually a $700 million reduction from the governor’s optimistic budget requests made in Janu-

ary before the coronavirus. In reality, the actual cut is a $146 million reduction from last year’s spending. While that is not small, it is better than what

many other states are facing in these challenging times. House budget chair Cody Smith attri-butes that to “having managed our budgets appropriately in re-cent years and carrying forward cash from one year to another, and not spending all the money.

Those types of good budgeting practices have positioned us bet-ter than some other states.”

While several departments will see a share of that $146 million reduction, the proposed budget will allow our K-12 pub-lic schools see their foundation formula fully funded. The leg-islature has taken pains to make sure the formula has been fully funded for the last several years.

The next step is for the Mis-souri Senate to examine the budget, and make whatever ad-justments they see fit. Then a conference committee made up of a handful of representatives and senators will hash out the differences between the House and Senate versions.

As I have said for years, ru-ral Missouri desperately needs better Internet coverage. Updat-ing broadband Internet services throughout not only northwest Missouri, but also all of our state, has been a priority of mine since before I came to the Mis-souri Senate. The Legislature has worked on this crucial issue for quite some time; however, we are now getting some addi-tional help.

Thanks to the governor and the Missouri Department of Eco-nomic Development, our state is in line to receive approximately $3 million in grants to establish

broadband Internet coverage in rural Missouri. I believe more than 4,000 people will benefit from this additional funding.

In my opinion, we have

learned, over the course of the last month, just how crucial re-liable Internet service is to our

ability to function. Now that we are all teachers for our chil-dren, having the tools needed to get classwork from one point to another is extremely important. Beyond this, just having the ability to connect with the world in everyday life depends more and more on a fast online con-nection. However, for too many people in small towns across our state, this is something yet to be realized. I am hopeful this grant will help remedy the situation.

The providers who will do the work say it will probably take the rest of the year to fin-ish these projects. This is not to

say everyone will suddenly have high-speed Internet, but I am confident that these grants will go a long way in providing Inter-net access to rural Missourians. From virtual workstations to on-line learning and e-commerce, I believe a reliable, fast Internet connection is an important part of our ability to stay connected to the world around us. It isn’t just about Netflix and social me-dia, this technology gives us the ability to access critical services, learn outside of the classroom and so much more.

Letter to the editor

In the midst of Covid-19, one of the deepest psychosies’ is loneliness. “Social distance,” sliding take-out tacos under the door, being served pizza across the counter like a Frisbee, hav-ing to carry a measuring tape and whip it out like Marshal Dil-lon to con-firm 6 feet every time some masked stranger comes your way...all to pre-vent civil discourse and staying friends.

IT IS DEPRESSING. Those of you historians familiar with the pioneers who came west

know they often found them-selves in the lonely isolation that some of us are feeling today. Yet we RISE TO THE OCCASION, BRAVE AND INSPIRED TO MAKE THE BEST OF IT.

Blue lonesome is dang hard to handle Especially out where the road ends so any excuse for a party is welcome, and bound to make friends.

Once, a pilgrim seekin’ some solace staked a claim a long way from town he’d come from the itch of the city and in six months he’d settled down

He built himself a small cabin he sat on the porch one fine day when he saw a rider approach-ing he saw him from miles away. The rider said he was up country and rarely came this way at all but he thought he’d be a good neighbor by throwin’ a cowboy ball!

The pilgrim inspected this stranger who never got down from his horse he looked like he needed a dentist, his manner was rugged and coarse.

But lonesome can pray on a body and the stranger sounded

80 Years AgoMay 15, 1940

Dr. Frank Ross, son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Ross, new Hampton, now on the staff of the Rockefeller Institute for Medi-cal Research, Princeton, N.J., has been appointed associate biochemist at the Main agricul-tural station at Orono, Main.

James Webb of the U.S. Marines, stationed the last two years at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, arrived here to spend a month’s furlough with his parents Mr. and Mrs. Harry Webb.


The café building and a vacant one to the north on the west side of Main Street in Ridgeway, were left as shells when a fire swept through them.

Norma Hunsicker, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Evert Hun-sicker, has earned the vale-dictorian honors of the 1960 graduation class of North Harri-

son. Lavaughn Harrold, daugh-ter of Mrs. Claude Harrold of Blythedale, has been named salutatorian.


The Village of Mt. Moriah has “given back” the former elemen-tary school closed due to declin-ing enrollment and donated to the town by the South Harrison board of education. However, the town board decided to return the building to the school district because of the costs of maintain-ing the structure.

Harrison County would be on the route of a pipeline carrying raw oil to Minnesota under a plan being considered by Wil-liams Brothers Pipeline Co. and Kich Refininf Co. the plan would involve construction of a new 24-inch line from Bethany to Lamoni, Iowa, then routed through Mason City, Iowa to St. Paul Minn., where the raw oil would be refined. Slated to be completed by Jan. 1, 1982, it

would carry 130,000 barrels of crude oil a day.


The Harrison County com-mission Monday urged county residents to begin conserving water because of the potential of a summer-long drought.

South Harrison school offi-cials are expecting a smooth transition for New Hampton grade school students who will be transferring to the Bethany Elementary school next year.

Bethany City Council mem-bers listened to a plan at Monday night’s regular meeting to signif-icantly upgrade the city’s power plant.

Creating new markets for agri-culture products holds the key to reviving the farm economy in northern Missouri, according to Bethany area farmer Richard Fordyce who is leading efforts to develop a soybean processing plant in Chillicothe.

To the editor:We just picked up groceries

today at the Bethany Hy-vee. Our daughter-in-law sent in our order online using our debit card. We got to choose our de-sired day and time of pickup. When we arrived at our store we got in the designated drive-up lane and gave them a call. Short-ly after that, our groceries were brought out.

We pushed a button that popped the trunk for the carry out person. In went the grocer-ies, they closed the trunk and we drove away. How simple was that ‘For us – not so much for the Hy-Vee workers.

That’s just one more of the many examples of thoughtful, loving people stepping up to help us all through this Covid-19 pandemic.

All the others out there are too numerous to list and I might leave someone out. But you know who you are and God knows who you are.

In the words of our Savior “And I the King, will tell them. “If you did it for my brothers, you did it for me.” Matthew 25:40.—Fauneal Smith

requirements.Parents were frustrated that

the pool may remain closed for the swimming season.

C. F. Rainey, a parent of three children, pointed out that many other outdoor activities such as summer baseball and softball have been canceled. “What this does to children, when there are zero things for them to do this summer, is harmful too,” he said.

Baker said it may be until the end of June before there would be enough personnel to run the pool. That would mean that there would only be a month-and-a-half swimming season.

Some persons attending the meeting suggested that the train-ing of lifeguards may have been hampered because the city, at the recommendation of its insur-ance carrier, utilizes a national company for training.

B. G. Coffey, a parent, stated the opinion that training could have been facilitated by using a Red Cross program that would allow young swimmers to come up through the ranks to become lifeguards.

Park officials said they are facing additional challenges because of health department requirements in the nationwide coronavirus pandemic. The pool has had to order face shields, masks and gloves as part of the

health orders. Requirements to assure that swimmers are main-taining a six-foot distance from each other both in the pool and outside places additional bur-dens on swimming pools.

Park board members said they plan to make a decision on reopening the pool at their meet-ing on June 8.

“We aren’t ready to pull the plug on the pool yet,” said Park Board President Suzanne Wag-ner, pointing out that chemicals and other supplies have already been ordered.

The park board said the Beth-any Community Gym will be reopening later in the week after the staff makes preparations.

The Trustees of the GEC Community Foundation Inc. met April 24, 2020 and awarded seven grants totaling $5,101. All grants are funded by mem-ber donations called Operation Round Up where members vol-untarily round up their utility bills each month to fund grants to eligible entities.

Education grants were award-ed to Princeton R-V School Dis-trict, Princeton; North Mercer R-III School District, Mercer; S.M. Rissler Elementary School, Trenton; Grundy County R-V School District, Galt; Cainsville R-I School District, Cainsville, and Gilman City R-IV School District, Gilman City. One healthcare grant was awarded to Life Options Green Hills, Tren-ton.

Since 2005, the GEC Com-munity Foundation, Inc. has awarded 700 grants total-ing $416,438.62 to deserving schools and community organi-zations. The Foundation assists qualifying schools and organi-zations with grant monies for education, health and rural de-velopment. This area is within Grundy Electric Cooperative’s 12-county service area which includes Harrison, Mercer and Grundy counties and portions of Linn, Livingston, Daviess, Gen-try, Putnam, and Sullivan coun-ties in Missouri and portions of Ringgold, Wayne and Decatur counties in Iowa.

The Operation Round-Up Program allows GEC members and customers of the Public Water Supply District Number

1 of Grundy County to volun-tarily “round up” their utility bill to the next even dollar. The PWSD Round-Up funds are dis-bursed solely to projects located in Grundy County. For an aver-age of $6 per year, participating GEC members and PWSD #1 customers assist in funding local community projects.

The next grant application deadline is July 1, 2020. Quali-fied applicants must be a non-profit 501 (c) (3) organization or other eligible entity and may apply for a grant by completing a grant application with support-ing information. Grant applica-tions are available at www.grun-dyec.com or by calling Grundy Electric Cooperative at 1-800-279-2249, extension 23 or 33.

The racing season opens Sat-urday night, May 9, and Sat-urday, May 16, at the Bethany Speedway.

This year, Speed Shift TV will be in attendance filming all of the great action. Pit gates will open at 5 p.m. and the grand-stand gates at 6 p.m. Hot laps will start at 7:30 p.m. and racing at 8 p.m.

The IMCA sport mods will be in action the first two weeks of the season. Other contests include IMCA wing sprint cars, IMCA modifies, EMCA stock cars, IMCA sport mods, pure stocks and e-modifides.

“This should be a monumen-tal beginning to the 2020 sea-son,” said longtime track pro-moter Chet Querry.

Six of the most popular class-

es will start the season. There will be a food truck at the track, new drivers in all classes, rook-ies, drivers coming out of retire-ment and returning champions.

The track will be operating under guidelines to protect the health of spectators, drivers and race personnel. Spectators must sit six feet apart with the excep-tion of family groups. It is also recommended that spectators wear a mask.

Updates will be posted on Facebook.

The Thunder Valley drag strip will delay its season opening until June 6, according to Jer-emy VanMeter who operates the track.

The drag racing venue had planned to reopen for the season in May but plans were delayed because of concerns over CO-VID-19.

The Missouri Department of Transportation has announced that Highway 13, south of Beth-any, will be closed next week for bridge maintenance.

The Department of Transpor-tation plans to close Highway 13 from Route 136 to Interstate 35 from 6am Tuesday, May 12th through 9am Friday, May 15th for repairs to the Little Polecat Creek approaches. The closure will be around-the-clock. An alternate route will need to be taken by motorists.

From listening comes wisdom; fromspeaking, remorse often follows. Silenceis rarely punished, whereas we are often

chastened for what we say. Of course, thereare times when it takes moral courage tospeak up in the face of injustice, but eventhen, it is wise to consider carefully what weshould say. We have all had the experience ofspeaking too hastily and then regretting it, butonly rarely do we regret holding our tongues.We simply cannot take back our words. Oncespoken, they are there forever. But we can, ifwe hold our tongues and decide later that thething really needs to be said, decide to say it,and to say it with caution, tact, and charity.There is an old adage which says that beforespeaking we should consider if the thing istrue, if it is necessary, and if it is done for thebenefit of the other person, and if you cananswer yes to all three, then say it, butconsider carefully how best to do that. Of allthe parts of the body, surely our tongues arethe most unruly and difficult to control. A well-controlled tongue is a sign of a disciplinedmind and keeping silent is often rewardedwith the added benefit of learning somethingnew. Resolve to be a better listener and a quietobserver rather than a loquacious babbler, agossipmonger, or the person who feels thatevery silence must be filled with words. –Christopher Simon

Good news to share this week! Jordan Mann, nephew of Betty Lou Mann former Lamoni resi-dent and Andover neighbor, has written a music arrangement for the lyrics “Let Me Love the Hurt From You” which were written by Betty Lou! The song is play-ing on bandcamp.com. Listening to the song is free, but if you buy the song, all the proceeds will go to a COVID-19 fund. Thank you Betty Lou and Jordan!

Philinda Snethen is still en-joying visiting through phone calls from her daughter, son, and sisters Kay Herring, Mary El-len Silver, and Talitha Hurst. She also received messages about the Charles Snethen Scholarship that was created by the Optimist Club of Lamoni in honor of her brother, the late Charles Snethen. Philinda is so proud of all the Lamoni High

School graduates this year for their community service and she is sure Charles would be proud, too. The Snethen family is all about service to the community.

Liz Carpenter enjoyed ice cream and a visit with her friend Linda Perkins one afternoon last week.

Benny Parkhurst and Axel Lane stayed the night with Grand-ma Traci and Papa Lonny Satur-day night. They had lots of fun playing together. Andover neigh-borhood you are in for some fun times with these two boys living next door to each other!

The nice weather encouraged Ivan Lane and his dog ventured out in Ivan’s UTV to check out the neighborhood.

Liz Carpenter made a couple trips to town for some grocer-ies, materials from the lumber-

yard, and to the school to prepare school work for students for the next three week. Yes, school is still in session for students until the 22nd of May.

The farmers are out and about getting crops in and I’ve noticed some of the neighbors getting out and about a little more. Good to know that people can carry on with life and stay safe at the same time.

Liz Carpenter and Linda Per-kins ventured to Bethany last Tuesday to do a little shopping. Social distancing was easy to see as people kept their distance from one another in the stores.

Have a good week, be kind to each other, and it looks like a week or so of pleasant spring weather is ahead of us, so get out there, plant your gardens and flowers and enjoy it!

The Missouri FFA Associa-tion last week recognized An-derson Rogers of the South Har-rison FFA chapter as the Area 2 Star in Agribusiness.

Rogers, the son of Mike and Shelly Rogers of Bethany, served as chapter secretary and treasurer and is currently serving as chapter president and Area II FFA secretary. His chapter advi-sor is Katie Harvey.

Area Stars in Agribusiness are selected based upon outstanding achievement in work experience in an agricultural business as part of the student’s supervised agriculture experience program and active participation in FFA. Area 2 includes 26 chapters in the Northwest District. MFA

Inc., Columbia, sponsors the 16b area Star in Agribusiness awards as well as the State Fair in Agribusiness Award.

Rogers’ SAE involves his tree service and wood products business, Anderson’s Wood Products. His project began by cutting, splitting and selling firewood. He purchased a truck-mounted tree spade which he uses to sell and transplant trees. Rogers said he improves cus-tomers’ property values by add-ing shading and beauty. He also makes and sells specialty wood products like Missouri-shaped keychains.

Rogers placed sixth in the state level in the Missouri FFA Division II prepared Public

Anderson Rogers earns an area Star in Agribusiness award

Speaking Career Development event and competed the follow-ing year in Division II Prepared Public Speaking CDE. He also placed third at the state level in the Missouri Soil and Water Association’s Prepared Public Speaking Contest. He attended the Washington Leadership Conference and is a gradu-ate of helping Youth Maximize Agricultural Experiences Acad-emy and Missouri Agribusiness Academy.

Anderson has been involved in his high school’s National Honor Society, FBLA, Science Olympiad team and varsity scholar bowl team. Outside of school, he has been a member of his local 4-H club for 10 years where he served as president and vice president. He is also a member of the Missouri Farm Bureau, Missouri Cattlemen’s Association and the First Baptist Church.

After graduating from high school, he plans to attend the University of Missouri-Colum-bia where he will study agricul-tural business and public policy. Rogers said that after earning his bachelor’s degree he hopes to attend the M.U. School of Law and, as a lawyer, support farmers and advocate for agriculture.

Submitted photoThe fish are biting: Reid Sturdevant caught this 5-pound, 20-inch bass at a farm pond near Bethany. He caught the fish on April 25, his 7th birthday.

Visitors of Lila McLain on Sunday May 3rd were Ronda Pash and Jackson and Sowyer, and Page, Carson, and Hunter Eads. They played outside in the yard.

Isaac Chaney received a dis-tinguished service award from the Missouri department of pro-bation and parole for his intern-ship that he completed in his last semester of college. Isaac was given the award at a virtual meeting on Wednesday, April 29th in Bethany.

The 2020 senior parade was a great hit on Saturday May 2nd. Several people were sitting around town to wave at the se-niors and there were lots of yards with decorations in them. Amy and Richard Kokesh with the help of Tracy Willis put 100s of plastic cups in the fence spelling out Sr. 2020 Rocks. The ballpark lights were on for 20 minutes and 20 seconds that night also.

The teachers and staff of the Cainsville R-1 high school will be having a farewell parade also on May 13th at 1 p.m. starting at the schoolhouse and follow-

ing the same parade as the senior class. This would have been the last day of school originally.

The annual alumni celebra-tion at the Cainsville R-1 School on Memorial Day weekend has been cancelled for this year. It will start back up again next year if anyone has any questions please contact a board member.

Melanie Chaney, Isaac Chaney, Corben and Maudy Hut-ton and Barb and Kenny McLain spent the morning of April 30 on the Thompson River doing so-cial distancing at its best.

May birthdays that I am aware of are as follows: Amy Kokesh, Willie Cornelison, Deanna Crousee, Diana Seymour, Kris Seymour, Tammy Schwarzkopf, Jay Bain, Tony McLain, Ken Crawley, Katie Crabtree, Kait-lyn Smith, Keely Waddle, Andy Hamilton, Kyla plymel, Joshua Schoonover, Barbara McLain, Gary Turner, Glenda Mercer, Hillarie Vaughn, and Kenny Wayne Thompson.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARIES: May 1st, Mr. and Mrs. Greg Smith; MAY 3rd, Mr. and Mrs. Duane Fountain

MEMA’S WEEK Shirley came over and brought some lilacs to Mema. Sarah and the kids came over and last Sunday Shirley and Mema went for a drive and stopped by the Hig-ley’s home. She has had phone calls too to break the monotony of being housebound. She was going to get her hummingbird feeders out as they are back in New Hampton.

STAYING ON THE MOVE! Douglas Epperson was mowing a blue streak on Sunday, Billie Jo has been in a crafting frenzy and making some more wreaths, told him he better keep moving fast or could end up painted and hanging on the wall if he wasn’t careful! Her newest creations are shutter snowmen! And they are so cute. She can make some really cute things. If you want to get a head start on Christmas decorating, look her up!

GOT MEAT? Haven’t had much luck lately, seems ham-burger and chicken is in short supply, sure hoping things get back to normal, as I have no plans to turn vegetarian any time soon. Toilet paper remains hit and miss too I am hearing. I haven’t gotten out much at all in last two or more weeks since

hurt my back, so I have no idea what is or is not on the shelves, but know that several things I have ordered for pickup at Hy-Vee haven’t been available when I sent spousal unit to bring them home.

WHO WAS THAT MASKED MAN??? With so many wear-ing masks, seems like a logical question to me. Tammy Priest has been sewing like mad mak-ing masks, she went looking for elastic and had no luck, said fab-ric still isn’t plentiful in some patterns either. And good luck finding anything with our KC Chiefs on it, she said that is im-possible to locate now. Sounds like sewing factory when I talk to her on the phone, constant whirring in the background.

HUMMINGBIRDS ARE BACK Get your feeders up as they are humming around look-ing for food. Spousal unit saw them out in the apple tree and at feeder on porch. Orioles are also using the feeders, but Orschlen’s sells Oriole feeders for jelly and nectar and they really love that too. Saw a Rose Breasted Gros-beak out back or rather spousal unit did.

FISHING??? Found five vintage Southern Bend reels in NKC and got them mailed here, dollar each, Charlie Bittner do-nated some fishing odds and ends and Dan Followill gave couple of poles, so guessing he

and Dan will be hitting the lakes soon. I’m not studying it, so will let the two of them careen off into the wilderness. Alice and I will find something else to do. We had found a great Thai restaurant back last summer but the place was in the news the next week after we were in there, for a murder in the kitch-en, one employee shot another employee during lunch hour for being slow. Don’t think that is in the how to motivate employees handbook? Moot point as pretty well settled.

BABY HUEY AND BO-NANZA Gloria Spillman mes-saged me and was laughing about how different my two horses are. She had them up for farrier to trim and was grooming

on them. She said Baby Huey was all into it, curling lip and stretching so she could get to just one more good spot needing working over. Bonanza spends his time looking for mud wal-lows apparently, he had worked hard on decorating himself and was not impressed with Gloria’s efforts at all, giving her a dis-gusted look as if to say “Do you know how hard I worked to get this just the way I wanted it???”” He’s 26 now to Baby Huey’s 14. Two really good horses but so very different. Baby Huey goes back to Man ‘O War...which is kind of interesting to see on pedigree.

HAPPY BIRTHDAYS: May 6th, Tracy Smith

HARRISON COUNTY

STAMPEDE! Oklahoma Stam-pede during the land rush will have nothing on us when some of our county opens up May 4th! Alice said she did not care WHAT the store was, she was going in! Think we have all got-ten cabin fever and are chomp-ing at the bit to get outside and move around some.

DONAR JORDAN Better news every day. Lori keeps ev-eryone updated on Donar Jor-dan Updates Facebook group as to how things are going, and Donar is so much better every day! Good news for all of us to hear. Please keep sending cards, you can mail to the hospital or email them.

COVID-19 Facts:

► Cameron Regional Medical Center was the first health care facility in the area to set up a special testing center (tent) for COVID-19, utilizing tests with FDA Emergency Use Approval/Authorization; ► CRMC identified the first cases of COVID-19 in each of Clinton, Harrison, Livingston, Buchanan, and Caldwell Counties. Positives were also identified from Nodaway, Daviess, and DeKalb Counties; ► As of 4-27-20, CRMC had tested 640 people, with 12 positive results. The last positive was recorded on 4-15-20; ► CRMC has more-than-adequate testing supplies and capabilities. We are currently testing all pre-operative and high-risk patients; ► Many providers are temporarily utilizing Telehealth in order to continue delivering primary care services. This allows patients to stay home, while still obtaining the medical assistance they need; and ► CRMC has not laid off any employees due to COVID-19.

CRMC is here for you . . .

CRMC is extremely appreciative for the tremendous amount of area support exhibited during these challenging times. From donations of masks (both hand-made and ready-made), personal protective equipment, and food . . . to medical bonnets, toilet paper, and other difficult-to-find items . . . we are truly grateful.

BETHANY POLICE DEPARTMENTActivity report 4-14-2020 to 4-27-2020

The second semester of school was a busy one for the Cainsville National Honor Soci-ety students, in spite of the fact that all activities ceased mid-March due to the Coronavirus.

In anticipation of attending the Missouri Association of the National Honor Society State Convention in Lake of the Ozark in early March, the students had a few fundraisers. Due to the wonderful support of the Cains-ville community, enough money was raised to cover the expenses of the convention.

On February 23rd, the stu-dents hosted a soup and sand-wich luncheon. They also had a drawing for a beautiful cro-cheted afghan made by a Cains-ville alumnus. Other generous donations were received, as well. Many thanks to those who helped out!

On March 3 and 4, Mrs Jeanne Cracraft, NHS spon-sor, along with students, Camie Vaughn, Ashten Thompson, Decii Hartsock and Lexi La-Fountain, traveled to Lake of the Ozark to attend the state conven-tion. Everyone was kept quite busy attending break-out ses-sions relating to service, charac-ter, leadership and scholarship, as well as listening to the very interesting keynote speaker!

The following week, the Cainsville NHS students began their service project to raise money to donate to the Pennies for Patients project organized by the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Amazingly, over $400 was collected in one week’s time from the students at Cains-ville! The project was scheduled

to continue for three weeks, but was cut short by the closure of schools due to the Coronavi-rus. We appreciate the generous donations to this worthy cause!

We had hoped to have a for-mal induction ceremony in April for these four students. Al-though that could not happen, Camie, Ashten, Lexi and Decii

all received their certificates and NHS pins. Congratulations to the Cainsville National Honor Society students

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.)

South Harrison FFA chap-ter members Bricen Francis, Jacob Shuck, Anderson Rogers and Brayden Vandivert have earned Star FFA Degrees.

The award is the highest de-gree members can achieve at the state level. The members are part of a record 988 degree re-

cipients receiving the honor.Prior to 2020, the number of

recipients was limited to 3 per-cent of the Missouri FFA Asso-ciation members. Now earning the degree is based on minimum specific qualifications.

“Missouri FFA members have always considered earning the State FFA degree an honor,” said Missouri FFA Association Advi-sor Leon Busieker. “Instead of limiting the number of individu-als eligible to earn the degree, the Missouri FFA Association has established a minimum set of qualifications, increasing the number of recipients. This gives students a more defined path to

the recognition.”Awarding of the degree is

based on a member’s supervised agricultural experience program in agribusiness or production agriculture and leadership abil-ity as demonstrated through in-volvement in FFA, school and community activities.

The state FFA Degree award charms are sponsored by MFA Inc., Columbia.

The Missouri FFA has 25,945 members representing 348 chap-ters. The national organization has more than 700,000 members representing 8,612 chapters in all 50 states, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

The local department has been helping the St. Joseph Health Department to make close case contact calls for about 373 Triumph Food workers with no symptoms who tested posi-tive for coronavirus.

Harrison County Health De-partment employees Fred Lind-sey and Colt Bohannon met with county restaurant owners last week to provide guidance on re-opening their establishments un-der Governor Parson’s Show Me Strong Recovery Plan, which went into effect on Monday.

Some restaurants were plan-ning to reopen their dining rooms this week when new rules went into effect that allows them to serve customers in their din-ing rooms if they follow guide-lines.

“Distancing is the number one mandate,” said Courtney Cross, director of the health de-partment.

Businesses are required to maintain six feet distance be-tween tables and to limit the number of diners inside the

restaurant and to remove condi-ments from the table.

Food service establishments should encourage giving cus-tomers options for drive-thru or carry-out options.

The new, smoother surface planned for a portion of Inter-state-35 in Harrison and Da-viess counties has been pushed back two weeks. The work was scheduled to begin this week.

The Missouri Department of Transportation contracted with Emery Sapp & Sons, Inc. to re-

surface I-35 between U.S. Route 136 in Bethany and Route C near Pattonsburg (Exit 92 to Exit 78).

The contractor plans to first complete some partial and full-depth patching beginning Mon-day, May 18. The contractor could have multiple crews and work zones set up within the project limits, both directions of I-35, between May 6 and Sept. 23. Crews could be work-ing seven days a week and may work both daytime and night-time hours.

One lane in each direction is expected to remain open throughout the project. Due to the nature of some of the work, some lane closures may remain up around-the-clock. A 16-foot width restriction will be in place for the duration of the project.

(Continued From Page 1)Cole Hardware reopened for

business on Monday morning after being closed for six weeks because of the pandemic. “We have been fairly business,” said Donna Graham, with a lot of people wanting gardening sup-plies.

The Harrison County Health Department issued its latest public health emergency order stating that, on May 4, Missouri business may reopen as long as they take steps to reduce the po-tential spread of COVID-19.

But, the health department, cautioned, “we will not be able to return to the way things were right away. A strategic “reopen-ing’ of our economy will not be successful unless all businesses,

communities and citizens take proactive steps to prevent the risk of resurgence.”

The Economic Reopening Order states that businesses must limit the number of cus-tomers allowed inside based on their square footage and practice social distancing.

Bethany Public Library of-ficials are looking at ways to reopen book lending services at the library. Janee´ Lehleitner, li-brarian, said her staff met Mon-day morning to discuss options for fulfilling book requests for patrons. The library may use the new Librista card catalog system that would let readers pick out books from the shelves which would be placed in a bookbag to be handed off to customers at the curb. Final plans for this system have not been finalized. The library will also have to find a method to sanitize books and DVDs that are returned to the li-brary in the depository box.

Reopening begins in Harrison Cty.
