State audit warns of deteriorating
condition of county’s 911 fund

Caroling at the park: A choir from the Immanuel Baptist Church sings Christmas carols on the covered bridge at
the Bethany Memorial Park during the Christmas lighting ceremony. The Bethany Chamber of Commerce provided
hay rides for residents to view the Christmas displays in the park. Several thousand more lights and new displays
have been added to the park for this Christmas season.
The Harrison County Commission was criticized in a state audit for
failing to address the poor financial
condition of the county’s 911 fund
and the law enforcement tax fund.
Missouri State Auditor Nicole
R. Galloway, CPA, said the general
revenue used to support these funds
has “increased significantly over the
past several years and, as a result,
the financial condition of the general
fund has declined.”
Galloway said these concerns
had been expressed in two previous
audits. As a result, the overall performance of Harrison County was
rated as “fair” in the most recent state
audit, which was released in November.
The
county
commissioners
responded to the audit saying that
they are aware of the issues and
“will monitor the financial condition of the 911 fund and the LEST
fund.” The commissioners said the
lack of a statewide 911 tax on cell
phones “hinders our ability to gener-
ate or increase revenues for the 911
fund. They said they would attempt
to reduce expenditures and increase
revenue where possible.
The audit also said controls and
procedures should be improved for
the sheriff’s commissary for jail prisoners. Jail personnel do not maintain inventory records to account for
electronic cigarettes or debit cards
to account for items purchased or
received, sold or issued. The audit
also found that the sheriff’s office
collects a $2.50 fee from inmates at
booking to cover the cost of personal
hygiene items, which is not allowed
by law.
Sheriff Josh Eckerson said he is
now reviewing bank statements and
related records monthly to ensure the
accuracy of each account. The staff
also has been performing monthly
physical inventory counts of electronic cigarettes, debit cards and
other inventory items sold to inmates.
The sheriff’s department also has discontinued collecting the $2.50 book-
ing fee from inmates.
Other findings in the audit:
l The sheriff maintains a bank
account for donations received for
the purchase and care of the department’s drug and search dog, although
no statutory authority exists for this
account to be held outside the county
treasury. The sheriff responded that
he was advised by an attorney to proceed with opening the account. It has
now been closed and the remaining
balance has been turned over to the
county collector-treasurer to be held
in the county fund.
l The sheriff has not entered into
a written agreement with the city of
Bethany for the boarding of inmates.
The sheriff responded that a contract
with necessary terms and conditions
will be signed by both the city and
county.
l According to the audit, the
prosecuting attorney allows defendants to make a contribution to the

Kenny Stoner loses life in crash of Cessna near Pattonsburg
The body of Harrison County
businessman Kenny Stoner was
found in the wreckage of his Cessna
180 north of Pattonsburg following
a two-day search involving hundreds of emergency personnel and
volunteers.
Harrison County Sheriff Josh
Eckerson said the downed airplane
was found in woods near Highway
69, south of the Harrison-Daviess
County line.
Mr. Stoner had left the Maryville
Regional Airport at about 4 p.m.
Sunday afternoon on a flight that
would have taken him to his home
airport in Bethany. Family members became alarmed after his plane
failed to return to the airport by
dark.
Rescue teams had conducted an
initial search along the route of the
plane from Maryville to Bethany but
were hampered by foggy conditions
and darkness. The search resumed

TOBACCO-FREE
Be a quitter!
by Courtney Cross,
Administrator, Harrison
County Health Department
I’ve always believed
that wisdom was one of
the greatest attributes anyone could possess. Where
does wisdom come from
and how do you get it?
Well, I think some people
are born with it, but for the
rest of us, we become wise
with experience. Often the
experience may be painful
or harmful, but if you take
away some wisdom from
each of your experiences,
soon you’ll make decisions and take action based
on this wisdom.
My wisdom comes
from a painful experiencelosing a parent to the ugliness of smoking. If there
is one thing that everyone
needs to know about smoking, it is this-SMOKING
KILLS! Blunt, yes, but
truthfully it is quite simple. I watched my mother
suffer from this horrible
addiction that wreaked
havoc on her body. Once
the vibrant, always on the
go woman, raising a large
family, she was now reduced to carrying oxygen,
constantly struggling for
air and condensed to a
weak, frail woman unable
to enjoy even the simple
moments in life. All this
because she bought in to
the “glamour” of cigarettes
at the age of 17 and continued smoking for over
40 years. But her smoking didn’t affect just herit affected her family, her
friends and let’s not forget
all those people she encountered in her life that
she smoked around-they
too were affected by her
smoking!!!! Yes, second
hand smoke also kills! It
is the 3rd leading cause
of preventable death in
the U.S. according to the
CDC. Every year, 1200
Missourians die from illnesses caused by second
hand smoke. How angry
would you be to know that
the disease you have is directly linked to the second
hand smoke of others? Or
think about the unborn
baby whose mother or other family members smokewhy is this not a crime
as so many studies today
show that smoking harms
the unborn fetus? I find
this enraging!!!!
The tobacco industry
is a multi-billion dollar
industry. Millions of dollars are spent each year on
advertising alone trying
to persuade those innocent minds to use tobacco
just once! And let’s not
forget the billions of dollars spent on healthcare
of those that have health
issues directly related to
their smoking and those
issues caused by second
hand smoke! As a result of
tobacco industry marketing and other influences,
more than 3,200 children
younger than the age of 18
smoke their first cigarette
every day. Another 2,100
youth and young adults
who are occasional smokers become daily smokers.
Nearly 9 out of 10 smokers start before the age of
18, and 98% start smoking
by age 26. Two new young
smokers replace every
adult who dies early due
to smoking. If current risks
hold, one of the two also
will die early from smoking. How do we stop this
madness? I saw a powerful PSA the other day on
TV stating that in the year
2000, 23% of teenagers
smoked. In 2010, this has
been reduced to 9%. The
PSA went on to state that
this is the time to make this
generation smoke free! So
from this I draw that we
begin the end by taking
care of our children and
prevent them for even beginning this horrible habit.
How can we accomplish
this? As parents, be a role
model. Statistics show that
out of all teen smokers,
only 2% come from homes
that have parents that don’t
smoke. Be a leader in this
crusade-don’t smoke, join
tobacco free coalitions,
adopt tobacco free policies
at schools, playgrounds,
businesses, etc., and support local youth smoke
busters. As business owners, adopt health incentives to help those that use
tobacco, quit and provide
rewards for those that
don’t use tobacco, keeping
insurance premiums down.
So what am I trying
to accomplish with my
“wisdom”??? If you are
a parent, don’t smoke! If
you are someone’s friend,
don’t smoke! If you are a
businessman, don’t smoke.
If you are stressed at your
job, don’t smoke! And
please, if you are a teenager, don’t smoke! For
those of you that are smoking, now is the time to be
a “Quitter”! There are
countless numbers of resources out there that are
available to assist and support you in this difficult
yet life-altering journey
- don’t hesitate to ask for
help. Seek assistance from
your local health department to help you take the
steps to quit! We are committed to helping everyone support a tobacco-free
world-you would be surprised how the smallest of
changes can have the biggest impact. Join our efforts in making tomorrow
a better place by becoming
a smoke-free community.
And remember, Public
Health. Better health, better Missouri.

Hightree, Hailey Burrows,
and Skylar Reynolds are the
Smokebuster officers of Gilman City and all attended the
Training in Savannah, Missouri. They went through
four sessions such as science
of secondhand smoking, the
history of smoke free movement, what is smoke free,
and worked on our elevator
speeches. They also came
up with four action plans as
a group. They also each did
a pre-training survey and a
post training survey to see
if they answered questions
the same of differently and
learned new things.
For recognition of the
Smokebuster
members
throughout the school, we
held a membership party
where we watched a movie
and had snacks. We had 20
members present. They all
seem excited to start taking
action in our action plans and
I can’t wait to start taking action with all of the members
who have the same goals.

on Monday with search teams meeting at Albany and Pattonsburg.
The search had been centered
around the Pattonsburg area because
two persons had heard an airplane
revving its engine and then sputtering followed by a loud noise.
The early searches failed to turn
up the plane before dark on Monday,
and teams widened their search to
other areas of Harrison, Gentry and
Mercer counties to follow up on
other reports of aircraft being heard.
Authorities also received reports of
an aircraft ping being detected.
The search resumed at daybreak
on Tuesday with several volunteers
met at the Harrison County Law
Enforcement Center. The searchers
brought a number of four-wheelers
to look through rough terrain near
the Bethany airport.
“We will move from section to
section until we find the plane,”
Eckerson said.
While teams were searching
other areas in the countryside, a crew
from Pattonsburg called to report
that they had found the wreckage in
a stand of timber north of Pattonsburg.
Mr. Stoner’s body was found in
the wreckage of the plane. The FAA
and other investigators cordoned
off the scene while the wreckage
was being examined. The Daviess
County coroner was expected to
order an autopsy.
Mr. Stoner operated the Stoner
Sand Plant on the Thompson River,
south of Cainsville. He was an
active supporter of the Bethany airport. Sheriff Eckerson recalled that
the businessman often loaned equipment to the Northwest Missouri
State Fair.
There had been no information
about funeral arrangements by press
time.

Bethany selling $2 million in street bonds
Mike Rogers, representative of
Edward Jones financial services, told
the Bethany City Council Monday
night that he expects that the $2
million initial offering of general
obligation bonds for the city’s street
program will be sold by Friday.
The city council approved an ordinance to engage with Edward Jones
to underwrite the sale of the bonds for
a major city-wide street resurfacing
project.
Bethany voters earlier in the year
authorized a total $3.7 million bond
program to finance the improvements. The council decided early to
offer $2 million in bonds initially to
begin the project.
The council also approved a resolution to offer the bonds first to local
investors before selling the remainder
to other parties.
“I have had several local people
indicating that they would be interested in purchasing the bonds,”
Rogers said.
Kansas City bond attorneys
Gilman & Bell prepared the prelimi-
nary documents for the release of the
bonds.
The city council will meet again
at a special meeting on Friday to give
finance approval to an ordinance to
sell the bonds.
City Administrator Jan Hagler
said City Hall will be accepting bids
from contractors for the first phase of
the street improvement program until
next Thursday, Dec. 17.
In other business, the city will
join with the County Commission to
sponsor the trip to the Great North-
west Days in Jefferson City. They
will share the $600 cost of sponsorship.
Eastward Councilman Todd Williams said the contract with Porter
Trash Service will benefit local residents because the company is willing
to pick up larger items such as old
furniture during their regular Monday
collections. This will reduce pressure
on the fall and spring cleanup days
when residents have traditionally discarded the bulk of their large items
and yard debris.
Events
Nativity display: The Immanuel
Baptist Church in Bethany will
have a live drive-through Nativity
display from 6 to 8 p.m. on Friday,
Dec. 18.
Wreaths ceremony: The American Legion Auxiliary 216 will join
the Wreaths Across America observance to honor veterans at 11
a.m. on Saturday, Dec. 12, at Miriam Cemetery. The public is invited

Bethany accepting bids on first year’s projects
The first phase of Bethany’s $3.7
million street improvement program
will get underway in 2016 when the
city plans to award the first road
contracts.
The city will be accepting bids
from contractors for next year’s
street improvements until Dec.
17. Bethany voters approved a
bond program to finance the street
upgrade in a special election earlier
this year.
The city council set a priority list
for street improvements based upon
the road surface conditions. The first
phase will be streets in the Daily and
Broyles additions, the Square and
the Ranchwood neighborhood.
The Ranchwood project will
involve milling to lower the grade
of the curbed street to accommodate
the new layer of asphalt.
Mayor Patrick Miller said the
city has budgeted for the purchase
of about 6,000 tons of asphalt for the
first year projects. Streets that could
not be included would be moved to
next year’s project list. Eventually,
the city plans to resurface every
street within the city limits.
Streets will be widened at some
locations in the Daily Addition to
accommodate two-way traffic and
school buses. Some culverts will
have to be replaced prior to the
resurfacing operation.
Larry Griffin, retired Trenton
street superintendent, will be supervising the street project.
Bartlett Street, which has been
experiencing increased traffic since
the opening of 39th Street as a short
cut to the park, will also receive an
upgrade using street department
personnel.
Miller said the city is waiting
for approval from FEMA to replace
a culvert that has been repeatedly
washed out during downpours over
the past year.
The city plans to straighten out
some curves and widen the street to
two-way traffic. Contrary to comments on social media, the project

will not require taking any property
along the north side of the road or
the park. The city has already relocated utility poles on the south side
the road to allow work to proceed on
widening the road. One utility pole
near the park will also have to be
relocated.

A favorite pastime of certain journalists on slow news days is to ponder
what global warming will mean for
agriculture. It’s easy enough to drive
out to the country and find somebody
in overalls willing to blame the latest
flood, drought, windstorm or sixlegged pest outbreak on the increased
carbon in the atmosphere. The tone
that most of the resulting stories take
regarding the food supply is enough
to drive the average reader into the
basement with a few cases of freezedried energy bars.
Reporters should spend more time
questioning what the climate-change
agenda means for farmers in the here
and now. The drive to replace fossil
fuels has already changed the countryside. Solar panels blanket thousands of acres, wind turbines dot
hilltops, and hundreds of miles of
transmission lines carry electricity
from those sites to the places where
it’s needed.
At first, most rural residents were
excited. Landowners were paid for
allowing wind turbines to be set up on
their property. The construction was
an economic boon for their communities. School districts and local governments appreciated the increased
property-tax revenue. Although some
opposition to windmills has formed,
willing partners still can be found for
most projects.
It’s not clear, however, that this
will always be true, particularly
when it comes to the transmission
lines that service these installations.
In March 2014 a private company
attempting to cross Missouri with a
high voltage line applied to the state
for utility status, which would have
effectively granted it the power of
eminent domain. Farmers and rural
residents rebelled, and the Missouri
Public Service Commission denied
the application this summer.
When the local power company
wanted to run a transmission line
across my grandfather’s farm in
1946, it paid him $10 a pole for his
trouble. Those poles are still a pain
today. They curtail our ability to irrigate, and they’re awkward to maneuver farm implements around, since
they weren’t placed with modern
machinery in mind. When my brother’s 100-foot-wide sprayer came
into inadvertent contact with the
high-voltage line a few years ago, he
had an experience that he will never
forget. The electricity passed through
the tractor, scrambling its digital
brains, and traveled from the boom to
the ground like a lightning bolt.
But I’m sure that my grandfather
never regretted agreeing to those
poles. People needed electricity to
heat homes and power radios and
televisions and all the other conveniences of modern life. Hosting the
power line helped our neighbors. It
was part of being a good citizen.
The case for permanently changing the countryside to theoretically
shave a fraction of a degree off global
temperatures sometime in the next
century is considerably less convincing to Missouri landowners. After the
Public Service Commission reached
its decision, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Missouri’s leading newspaper,
editorially chastised farmers for their
reluctance to sacrifice for the sake of
the planet: “If rural
landowners in Missouri don’t give a
little and embrace
ways to save the
Earth from global warming, more
than farming as they know it could be
at stake.”
The U.S. is responsible for emitting some 13% of the world’s carbon,
down from 24% in 2000. Or at least
that’s the best estimate, since some
countries are less than forthright on
the matter. Reports last month suggested that China has understated its
emissions by almost a billion tons a
year. To put that figure in perspective:
President Obama’s Clean Power Plan
calls for reducing carbon emissions
from electricity generation by 32%,
or 870 million tons annually. Even
if the plan is successful, any global
progress that the administration
expected already has been swallowed
by the revision in China’s emissions
figures.
The effects of the Clean Power
Plan at home, however, will be anything but inconsequential. Electricity prices will rise. The economy
will be crippled in places where coal
is mined. Increased construction of
wind turbines and solar panels and
transmission lines will turn pastoral
areas into an extended substation.
When the proposal for that power
line in Missouri was announced, one
of my friends, a farmer, discovered
Other views
that a 140-foot transmission tower
was to be located not in one of his
open fields, but in the corner of his
yard, about 250 feet from his front
door. Although landowners here have
won a temporary victory, and his yard
is safe for now, rural residents can
only expect further encroachment by
clean-energy projects.
Changes to the landscape are
inevitable. But farmers shouldn’t be
conscripted to serve a climate-change
agenda. States should think twice
before granting the power of eminent
domain to developers of renewableenergy projects, who should have to
negotiate with individual landowners
like everybody else.

showed that repeat buyers are paying
$500 bonuses for AI heifers in second
generation of breed improvement.
The other eye-opener was the
number of out-of-state repeat buyers
bidding up the price. Missouri
becomes known as the replacementheifer state. As the cowherd rebuilds
that is important. More local herd
owners benefit.
As Dave Patterson, MU Extension beef specialist says, “Rebuild
with quality, not just numbers.”
Foreign beef herds produce lowercost Select Grade beef. We have the
lock on high-dollar prime corn-fed
beef. That goes to the Japanese who
pay big bucks for the taste.
Some time ago, export price
reports showed the Japan trade brings
$250 back to every producer’s calves
fed out. MU beef research brings big
payback.
Going into a net-farm-income
downturn cattle genetics give a big
help. Corn growers learned genetics
decades ago.
When I took the basic class
in scientific method, we started back
with Aristotle in 350 B.C. The Greek
inventor of science relied on observation and intuition. He wrote it all
down.
“Use intuition, and then back it
up with data,” our prof said. Realize
that was at the start of the computer
age when we used punch cards to
enter data.
Oh, what we now learn from data.
But, don’t throw out observation and
intuition. Somewhere we must learn
that drones and their precise data collection will drive farming.
Meanwhile, our challenge will be
to teach consumers to accept science.
Audit warns of deteriorating condition of 911 fund
(Continued From Page 1)
county’s law enforcement restitution fund as a condition of deferring
charges, in violation of state law. The
prosecutor also has not adequately
segregated account duties and does
not do a supervisory review of the
accounting and banking records.
Prosecuting Attorney Cristine Stalling said she disagreed with the finding about the contribution to the law
enforcement restitution fund. “We
use these contribution as a tool for
punishment and place defendants
on supervised or unsupervised probation,” she said. “I do not believe
the statute prohibits our collection
under the circumstances in which we
do so.” The prosecutor’s office has
implemented the other recommendations.
l The county commission has
not increased the amount transferred
from the law enforcement sales
tax fund to the 911 account or the
amounts charged to other agencies
for dispatching services.
The county responded that “it is
not feasible to cover the total cost of
providing 911 dispatching services.”
l County records are not adequately protected and are susceptible
to hacking. The offices of the prosecutor, sheriff and public administrator do not require password changes
on a periodic basis.
County officials said they will
work with elected officials and a
computer technology professional
to establish adequate password and
security controls.
As beef prices slip, risk management helps, MU
economist tells farmers at Kirksville meeting
By MU Extension
Dollar returns to beef cow-calf
herd owners have never been greater
than the last three years. Now, 2015
appears to end still near those record
highs.
“It’s a great time to be in the
Missouri cattle industry,” says Scott
Brown, University of Missouri beef
economist.
More than herd owners benefit
from high beef prices. Cattle and forages are a major income source for
agriculture and Missouri. The state
ranks third in U.S. cattle numbers.
“Cattle prices can cycle,” Brown
warns. In a talk planned for the Missouri Livestock Symposium, Dec.
5, in Kirksville, he has tips for the
future. He will talk about managing
risks in a time of growing cattle numbers — and declining prices.
The MU economic researcher
says risk management is a key to
success in the future. Beef producers have benefitted from recent high
prices; however, with a growing U.S.
cowherd, after decades of decline,
more beef brings lower prices.
In recent weeks, prices for feeder
calves and fed cattle have shown volatility.
Calf owners who locked in high
prices will end their year with more
dollars than those who rode the price
cycle down.
“At current prices, you can still
get profit-making prices,” Brown
says.
In recent talks, Brown told beef
producers to look to corn farmers
who have faced volatile drops in crop
prices. They manage risks.
He advises checking with brokers
who sell crop insurance. “Most also
sell Livestock Risk Protection, a federally supported plan. If they don’t,
they will know who does.”
LRP is the newest in risk management tools, Brown says. Other
options have been available for years,
but are not used often enough. “That
is changing,” he says.
The tools include forward contracts, Chicago Mercantile Exchange
futures or options, and livestock
insurance. Brown says to use these
tools for risk management, not speculation.
“You buy risk management on
cattle like you buy insurance on your
car,” he says. “You hope you never
collect.”
A starting point is to know the
break-even point on your cattle. That
gives a target for buying coverage.
With several tools available, they
can be used in combination. “Cattle
price outlooks, rising or falling, help
determine the right plan.”
Brown will walk producers
through some methods, step by step.
The Missouri Livestock Symposium is free, with no advance registration required. The program offers
dozens of sessions in all livestock

Center for Education Safety (CES)
announced the South Harrison R-II
School District has been awarded a
school safety grant in the amount of
$5,000. The district to update its current video surveillance system will
use the funds.
The district competed with other
public schools in the state for a limited amount of funding, which is
aimed at enhancing school safety in
local school districts. The funding
for this initiative was made possible
through a legislative appropriation
to the Department of elementary
and Secondary Education and that
is being administered by MSBA
through CES, which is the state’s
school safety center. The CES provides comprehensive support to all
schools in Missouri, through training,
technical assistance, and other safety
related initiatives. More information
on this grant and other school safety
related programs could be found at
the CES website: www.moces.org
The Missouri School Boards’
Association is a private, not-for-profit
organization that exists to help school

row crop farmers, and horticultural
crop growers. These meetings are
designed to help farmers become
better producers, and deal with problems that undoubtedly will arise each
year.
Beef producers will be interested in the annual Three-State Beef
Conference, which will be held in
Albany. It will be taking place on
Wednesday, January 13, 2016, starting at 6:00 PM.
For those interested in crops,
there is the Certified Crop Advisor’s

trash in Bethany
Bethany residents woke up on
Nov. 30 to find a new fleet of green
trucks picking up trash in their neighborhood.
The Porter Trash Service of
Maryville, Mo., began collecting
household waste and recycling under
a new five-year contract with the city
of Bethany.
For the past several decades, trash collection was
handled by Advanced Disposal Services known previously as Longview,
Veola and Superior.
The City Council awarded the
next contract to Porter in November
after opening bids from three companies including Advanced.
Dennis Porter, owner of Porter’s
On average,
readers spend
38 minutes
reading an
issue of their
local paper.
Trash Service, said the company
brought three trucks to complete
picking up waste from all local residents by early in the afternoon of the
first pick-up day. Porter used seven
employees in the operation.
Porter’s start as the city’s trash
hauler inaugurated the city’s curbside
recycling program. Several local residents separated cans, plastic bottles
and paper and cardboard from their
household trash and placed them in
white bags alongside the other waste.
Some of the paper was taken to
Unified Services for processing in its
shredding business. The other recycling material was taken to a collection center at Maryville.
meeting in St. Joseph, to be held on
January 19-20, 2016. This will give
an opportunity to earn 17 CEU’s over
the two days.
Horticulture producers will be
interested in the annual Great Plains
Growers Conference, held in St.
Joseph. I will outline our plans for
that meeting in my next two columns. The conference will be held
on January 7-9, 2016.
No matter what type of farming
you practice, you may be interested in
our annual Ag Updates. These meetings provide a good opportunity to
obtain or renew your private applicators license. If you intend to purchase
and apply restricted use agricultural
chemicals to your land, you will need
this license. These meetings are held
in most of the counties in our Northwest Extension Region. Many of
these meetings include agricultural
specialists to update you on timely
issues of concern, in addition to
getting your pesticide license. This
may include Agronomy Specialists,
Livestock Specialists, Ag Engineering Specialists, Agriculture Business
Specialists, and Horticulture Specialists. The meetings are typically held
in January or February. Please con-
tact your local Extension Center for
more information.
Another meeting that will appeal
to landowners who may be looking
for ideas for a farming enterprise is
our annual S.A.L.E. Conference.
S.A.L.E. stands for Small Acreage
& Land Entrepreneurs. Our third
annual meeting will be held on Saturday, April 2, 2016, in St. Joseph.
A new class for 2016 is titled,
“Farm Leasing in Missouri”, which is
a two part series offered in Maryville.
The dates are April 7 and 14, 2016.
There are many more opportunities to attend Extension meetings.
The best way to keep up to date on
all Extension meetings is on our calendar at our regional web site. The
Northwest Extension Region web
page can be found at: http://extension.missouri.edu/nwregion/
Before I close, I would like
to mention our Master Gardener
classes. These are held every spring
in the Northwest Extension Region.
They will run in the evenings for 12
sessions, starting in March. If you
are interested in this in-depth training on all aspects of horticulture,
keep the classes in mind, and watch
my future columns for details.

For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper
you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
Jeremiah 29:11
On the day that I was receiving the news that this would indeed be my last day of
employment my next-door neighbor was getting the news that she had a brain tumor. I
did not know about her very serious diagnosis until the next day. In fact, I was doing my
best to keep my spirits up, calling friends and family, and frankly feeling a bit sorry for
myself when I ran into her out front of my house. When she told me the news, and she
was incredibly positive about it, I realized immediately that being out of work is of very
little concern in comparison to a serious health issue. The good news for her was that
the tumor is not malignant and that surgery is an option, and apparently a pretty good
option in her case. Sometimes the news is really bad, and we are told that the tumor is
malignant, or that there isn’t anything that can be done for us, but even then there is
always hope. Sometimes the hope is simply that they can keep us comfortable in our
last days, or that we will have time to spend with family and friends. But ultimately, the
great hope of Christians, and of people of almost every faith, is that a loving God is
looking out for us, and waiting to welcome us to our eternal home when our sojourn
here on earth is done.

Lady Bulldogs capture Albany tournament title
The South Harrison girls got off to
a slow start but came back to defeat
Stanberry 44-42 to win the Albany
Invitational Tournament championship on Saturday night.
Stanberry scored the first 8 points
of the game while the Lady Bulldogs were ice cold. But junior Neiley
Karns and Hunter Purdun hits baskets
and Purdun added two free throws
as the Bethany team fought its way
back.
Purdun, who scored 14 points in
the game, was selected as the most
valuable player in the tournament,
hosted by Albany High School.
“Her teammates did a good job of
making sure Hunter got the MVP for
the second year in a row,” said Bulldog Coach Bill Pottorff.
The Lady Bulldogs had to overcome some accurate 3-point shooting
by Stanberry’s Bulldogs, who combined for 7 shots beyond the arc.
Karns scored off a rebound as
South Harrison took its first lead of
the night, 18-17, at the end of the first
quarter.
As the Lady Bulldogs’ shooting
began to heat up, Stanberry kept in
the game with free throws. Ciara Jennings hit a shot to give the purple and
white a 24-23 lead at the half. Purdun
hit a shot at the buzzer at the end of
the third quarter to give the Bulldogs
a 38-36 lead, and Jennings hooked a
shot for a 40-36 lead. Carley Wilhelm
came up with a steal and drove in for
a basket to make the lead 43-41 with
2:24 left in the game. Purdun hit the
front end of a one-and-one to give the
Bulldogs their final 2-point victory.
Neiley Karns finished with 11
points to go with Purdun’s 14. Stanberry’s Lily Osborn led all scorers
with 16 points.
South Harrison, now 3-1, opened
its home season last night (Tuesday)
against Trenton. The Lady Bulldogs
will host Bishop LeBlond at 6 p.m.
on Friday night, Dec. 11.
North Harrison cruises over East Union
North Harrison had three girls
in double figures Thursday night as
the Lady Shamrocks improved their
record to 2-0 with a 61-32 victory
over East Union at Eagleville.
North Harrison held the visitors to
only 12 points in the first half. Brandy
Rivet hit a pair of 3-pointers in the
first half on her way to 16 points for
the game.
Payton Craig led all scorers with
22 points in the game, including
two 3-pointers in the second quarter.

Odom named head coach
Last week Missouri named defensive coordinator Barry Odom to replace Gary Pinkel as its head football
coach.
Georgia hired alum Kirby Smart
and South Carolina hired Will Muschamp, so all three SEC East head
coach openings were filled with defensive coordinators.
As with most new things, there
is a mix of excitement and concern
about the new, unknown era lying
ahead. It’s still a little hard to think
about someone else as head coach of
the Tigers after 15 years of Pinkel.
First, the good news. Odom is a
Mizzou alum. At 39, he is relatively
young for a head coach. So if this
works and he is successful at Missouri, he could be the Tigers’ head
coach for decades.
Odom is good at what he does,
coaching defenses. Odom was defensive coordinator for Memphis
from 2012 to 2014. Memphis gave
up 35.1 points per game in 2011. Under Odom, they trimmed that to 30.3,
24.6 and 19.5 points per game. Then
this year, as defensive coordinator at
Missouri, the Tigers performed very
well despite getting little help from
the offense.
On the concern side, Odom has
no previous college head coaching
experience. Gary Barnett, another
Missouri alum who won conference titles coaching at Northwestern
and Colorado, has talked about how
overwhelming his first year as a head
coach was and how it wasn’t until his
third or fourth year he started getting the feel for it.
Deepest sympathy is extended to
families everywhere and especially in
California to all the families whose
lives have been changed forever by
the terrorists who attacked them. One of the victims was a young
Muslim mother who left a husband
and two-year old daughter. A brother
of the male terrorist served our country proudly and bravely and was decorated with some of the top medals
our country gives for his service in
the military in Iraq. As our Christmas
holiday approaches perhaps the song
“Let there be Peace on Earth and Let
it Begin with Me”. We all need to be
vigilant and do what we can to protect ourselves, our communities and
our country and working together our
people, of all colors and faiths can
make a difference against the forces
of evil that want us to be afraid and
give in to their terrorism.
Descendants of Tommie and
Tess Starmer held a Thanksgiving
dinner on Nov. 21 at the Blythedale
Center hosted by Jane Parkhurst and
Lavonne Urich. All nine children,
grandchildren and great-grandchildren for a total of over 50 were in
attendance for lots of good food and
visiting. They don’t get together
for Christmas so each can celebrate
with their own family, but plan to get
together again at Easter time.
An open house was held at the
Albany Senior Center during Lite
Nite, hosted by Joyce Mercer,
Connie and Shirley Gray. There was
a good crowd present to enjoy homemade cookies, pies, coffee and hot
chocolate. Shirley helps at the center
and often takes goodies for morning
coffee drinkers and afternoon card
players.

A look at Mizzou football.
If Odom did not have Mizzou
ties, his resume would probably not
yet be enough to land an SEC head
coach job. But that’s not to say he
isn’t the right guy for the job. One of
the keys will be assembling the right
coaching staff around him, and Odom
seemed to be wasting no time deciding whom to keep and where to look
for new coaches.
However Odom’s tenure works
out, 2016 will be a challenge right
out of the gate for the new coach.
Missouri is coming off its fewest
conference wins of any season under
Pinkel, winning just one SEC game
before losing seven straight in SEC
play. The Tigers have to replace linebacker Kentrell Brothers, who had
one of the great individual season in
Missouri football history, and center
Evan Boehm, who was an anchor on
an offensive line that struggled this
year.
The schedule is also challenging.
Missouri’s rotating SEC West game
is a trip to LSU’s vaunted “Death Val-
Page 7
ley,” and Missouri has a tough nonconference opener at West Virginia.
Road trips to rising East powers Florida and Tennessee look tough.
Missouri does have three absolute
pushover home nonconference opponents, plus Vanderbilt and Kentucky
at home. The Tigers likely need to go
5-0 in those games to have a decent
season, but they lost to both Vandy
and Kentucky this year.
Tiger fans are probably eager to
put this 5-7 season behind them, and
new coach debuts are always fascinating. On Saturday, Sept. 3, 2016, in
Morgantown, W.Va., the curtain will
officially rise on the Barry Odom era.

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,
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.)

to Harrison County for the recently
completed firearms season, according
to Conservation Agent Josh Roller.
The hunters spent more than
$300,000 on permits at area outlets,
demonstrating just one aspect of the
financial impact that hunting has on

ment of Conservation shows that deer
hunters in Missouri harvested 9,733
deer during the antlerless portion

Sunday.
A total of 150 deer were taken
in Harrison County during the antlerless season. This included 2 antlered bucks, 28 button bucks and 130

Wreath ceremony to be
held at Miriam Cemetery
The American Legion Auxiliary
Unit 216 will conduct the Wreaths
Across America ceremony at 11
a.m. on Saturday, Dec. 12, at Miriam
Cemetery in Bethany.
Seven ceremonial wreaths will be
placed to remember those who have
served in the armed forces, honoring
their sacrifices and teaching younger
generations about the high cost of
their freedom.
The wreaths will be placed at the
same time as similar ceremonies that
will be taking place across the country at precisely the same time.
Specially designed wreaths will
honor the Army, Marines, Navy,
Air Force, Coast Guard, Merchant
Marines and POW/MIAs. They will
be placed at the veterans memorial in
Miriam.
December 12 will mark the 24th
anniversary of Maine wreaths being
donated to be placed on headstones
at Arlington National Cemetery in
Arlington, Va. In 2008 and 2009,
the United States Congress unanimously decreed the second Saturday
in December as National Wreaths
Across America Day.
If you have a veteran family
member or friend buried in Miriam
Cemetery, there will be a time at the
end of the ceremony for you to place
a wreath on their grave.
