Russell Stover outlet store to close
Russell Stover employees were
caught off guard when told recently
by company officials that the Bethany
factory outlet store would close on
May 7.
Shelly Cady, who has been the
store manager for past year, said she
was shocked to learn that the store
had been sold and would be closing
just before Mother’s Day.
The Russell Stover store has been
fulfilling the sweet tooth of thousands
of travellers on I-35 for the past 18
years. Tour buses have made it a practice to stop in Bethany to let their passengers fill up their sacks on the way
to Branson and other points south and
north.
Cady said the timing of the store’s
closing came after a year in which
sales had increased by 30%.
“We knocked it out of the park,”
she said.
Cady said she has been told that
the location has been sold, but “I
don’t know who bought it.” A local
contractor had been in the store
recently doing some measurements.
Cady said she feels sorry for the
customers who have patronized the
store over the years.
“People have been pretty upset,”
she said. “We have people coming in
from out of state sometimes twice a
year.”
The store employees have been

Lingering bitterness over rhetoric
in the April 5 municipal election was
in the air after newly-elected Mayor
Joe Johnson and council members
Gene Ishmael and Randy Brejnik
took their oaths of office Monday
night at City Hall.
The City Council meeting room
was packed with a standing-roomonly crowd as the reins of city government were transferred from
ex-Mayor Patrick Miller and former
council members Randy Mann and
Lance Johns to the new administration.
The transition was less than cordial as both sides engaged in sometimes heated exchanges as soon as the
new officials took their seats.
Miller asked Johnson to answer
rumors that he planned to abandon
the South Tax Increment Finance district and the North TIF District projects.
Johnson said he would continue to
support the North TIF district where
work already is in progress on the
extension of 39th Street.
“We want to finish 39th Street, but
we want to do it in the right way,”
Johnson said.
But the new mayor said he does
not support the continuation of the
South TIF District because “we don’t
have enough time” to complete the
project by the 2017 deadline. The
South TIF district calls for the construction of new streets south of the
Walmart Store connecting with a proposed street near Northwest Implement.
“The south district needs to be dissolved and the money given back to
the schools” and other taxing entities,
Johnson said.
The council approved a motion by
Eastward Alderman Todd Williams to
table a decision on the future of the
South District. Randy Brejnik said
the city needs to talk with the TIF

committee before making any decision.
The South TIF District has accumulated about $1.5 million in tax
revenue from property owners in the
district. The South Harrison school
district would receive the largest
share of any refund.
The City Council set a special
meeting for 5:30 p.m. next Monday
night, April 25, involving the TIF
board and taxing authorities in the
district to discuss the future of the
project.
Johnson left open the possibility
that infrastructure could be built in
the area between Walmart and John
Deere under a new TIF project that
would involve a general obligation
bond issue.
Casey Guernsey, who was serving as the city’s economic developer
through Axiom Strategies, was cut
short when he attempted to ask questions of the mayor about online posts
and comments he had made to the
Republican-Clipper.
Guernsey said it appeared that the
new administration wasn’t willing to
answer any questions from the public.
“I can ask any question that I
want,” Guernsey told Johnson.
That drew a remark from Council-
man Ishmael who said “it sounds like
sour grapes to me.”
Miller said, “I would like to stop
some of the rumors that are floating
around.”
The ex-mayor and former council
members exited the room and stood
in the hallway outside the room as
the council began its regular business
session.
City Administrator Jan Hagler
presented information to the new
council about a proposal to remove
asbestos tiles from the roof of the
library parking lot. Pigeons roosting
above the tiles have been causing a
mess on the library grounds.
“The asbestos will have to be
treated as hazardous waste,” Johnson
said.
Hagler said the bids on removing the tile have been lower than
expected but she is waiting for a bid
from another contractor.
In another report, Hagler said
bids on the sidewalk project near the
elementary school will have to be
delayed until August while easements
are cleared up along 24th Street.
Johnson indicated during the
meeting that he favors hiring two

City officer appointments confirmed

offered severance pay or may be able
to take other positions with the company.
The Russell Stover outlet opened
on Jan. 1, 1998, at a location on
39th Street, north of Dairy Queen. It
moved to the former Hardee’s restau-
rant building in 2006, according to
City Hall.
With only a few days left before
the store shuts it doors, the company has been attempting to clear the
inventory by offering steep discounts
on candy.
Mayor Joe Johnson returned
to the practice of making annual
appointments of city officers during
Monday night’s City Council meeting.
The city had gone to open-ended
appointments of city officers under
a recent ordinance change. Johnson
said annual appointments would
conform to Missouri’s constitution
and complained that the appointment power has been taken away
from the mayor.
“We have used the one-year term
since 1848,” Johnson said.
Johnson nominated City Administrator Jan Hagler for a one-year
term in her position. He also reappointed Becky Turley as city treasurer, Cristine Stallings as city
attorney and reappointed Chief of
Police Bryan Groom and the police
officers.
The council confirmed the mayor’s appointments. The council then
elected Nita Schroff as city clerk.
Several other board positions
were approved at Monday night’s
meeting:
l Wray Kiralfy was appointed
to a four-year term on the Bethany
Housing Authority.
l Susan Legaard, Bill Slaughter
and Doris Baker were appointed to
the Industrial Development Board.
l Jay Hemenway, Nick Fitzgerald and Joe Campbell were appointed
to the Park Board.
l Leona Weddle and Fred Daily
were appointed to the Planning and
Zoning Board.
l Delsa Brooks and Deborah O’Neal were appointed to the
Zoning Board of Adjustments.
Erik Coffey hired as director of North Central Career Center
Erik Coffey will be returning to
South Harrison to take a position as
director of the North Central Career
Center.
The South Harrison Board of Education offered a contract to Coffey at
Thursday night’s meeting in the high
school library.

football coach at South Harrison,
Suspicious person
causes lockdown
The South Harrison Elementary
School was placed on lockdown
Tuesday afternoon after a student
reported seeing a suspicious individual in the northeast parking lot
of the school.
Law officers were called to the
school but did not find the person
in question. The incident remains
under investigation.
The lockdown was lifted and
students were dismissed at the
usual time, said Supt. Dennis
Eastin.
currently is at Trenton High School
where he is an assistant principal and
an assistant football coach under Wes
Croy.
Coffey and his wife, BG, have
continued to live in Bethany and
are parents of two children, Crea,
a second grader, and Carci, a sixth
grader at South Harrison. BG works
in the TRIO program at Graceland
University, where she serves as a liaison with the North Harrison, Ridgeway and South Harrison schools.
“I feel fortunate to get back in this
school system,” Coffey said. He will
succeed Bill Pottorff, who will be
leaving NCCC to become principal at
the Cainsville R-1 school.
Coffey is a graduate of Graceland
where he obtained a degree in physi-
cal education and health. He later
received a master’s through William
Woods University.
In other business, the school board
held its reorganizational meeting following the April 5 election when C.F.
Rainey and Terry Daniel were reelected to the board.
Jack McCall was elected president
of the school board. Caleb Guernsey
will serve as vice president, Chad
Smith as secretary and Jeanna Stratton will continue as treasurer. Daniel
was elected as MSBA representative
and Rainey as an alternate.
The board approved the 201617 district goals and reviewed the

Cainsville man man flees with children in vehicle
A Cainsville man who allegedly
led law officers on a high speed chase
on gravel roads with two unsecured
young children in his car was charged
Friday with two counts of child
endangerment and resisting arrest.
Officers reported that they went
to a residence in the 1300 block of
Vine Street in Cainsville on Thursday to assist the Juvenile Office and
Missouri Children’s Division with an
assessment of the home while following up on an abuse hotline call.
According to a probable cause
affidavit filed by the sheriff’s office,
a man at the residence identified as
Adam Geoffrey Flora, 33, was uncooperative and made threats to harm
the officers and others present.
Flora attempted to leave the residence with the children, age 9 and 7.
He was told that the children would
have to remain at the home until
the assessment had been completed.
Sheriff Josh Eckerson told Flora not
to leave with the children.
Flora reportedly disregarded the
orders and took off at a high rate of
speed spinning his tires and throwing
gravel.
Sheriff Eckerson and Deputy Jake
Wills attempted to stop Flora as he
left the residence at a high rate of
speed and headed north on Route V.
Flora, who was driving a convertible with its top down, was pursued
onto East 330th Avenue. Because of
concerns over the safety of the children, the officers reduced their speed
to 60 miles an hour and continued to
follow Flora at a safer speed. They
observed Flora’s vehicle pulling into
a field entrance.
Flora was taken into custody and
the children were released unharmed.
The officers said that both children
were not wearing safety devices
during the pursuit and were visibly
upset and crying.
Prosecuting Attorney Cristine
Stallings charged Flora with two
counts of child endangerment for
knowingly acting in a manner that
created a substantial risk to life and
injury to children under the age of 17.
He was also charged with resisting
arrest.
Flora will be arraigned at 1:30
p.m. on April 20 in the court of Associate Circuit Judge Thomas Alley. He
is being held in the Harrison County
Jail on $10,000 bond.

A look back at the history of Harrison County from the
pages of the Bethany Republican-Clipper.
125 Years Ago
April 23, 1891
Dr. Alexander has sold his property
east of the Poynter House to Andy
Flint.
T.B. Sherer & Son have placed
quite a novelty in their store in the
shape of an electric cigar lighter. Any
person buying a cigar there now can

The odds are prohibited that the
same thing could occur again and
not bring worse results, but Bert Jennings was not badly hurt Friday forenoon when a truck hit his wagon from
behind, on a bridge throwing him
over a banister into soft mud at the
edge of the stream, in a fall of about
14 feet.
Wilbur Cole of Bethany, one of the
leading Aberdeen Angus breeders of
Harrison County, paid $1,500 last
week for a heifer at the J.C. Penney
farm near Hamilton.
60 Years Ago
April 25, 1956
Representatives of 15 Missouri and
Iowa towns reported here Monday
night at a meeting called by the Bethany Chamber of Commerce to hear an
explanation of a proposal to “seed”
clouds over and area up to a million
acres to produce greater amounts of
rain in the target zone.
Since Friday afternoon, Bethany
has been getting its water supply from
the west one of two limestone bound
pools at the old quarry. Estimates are
that this source may provide water
for two weeks, perhaps longer.
40 Years Ago
April 21, 1976
A system has been established
whereby the value of farmland for
tax purposes is determined by its productivity, scores of county judges and
county clerks were told Thursday in
Bethany.
Newly-elected mayor Neal Bullock and the Bethany City Council
had differences of opinion Monday
night over some of Bullock’s choices
for appointive office.
20 Years Ago
April 24, 1996
A Blue Spring’s, Mo., company
has received state clearance to build
a 28-unit apartment complex in Bethany.
Plans by a Chicago man to establish two concentrated swine production farms in Harrison County have
led to a push for imposing regulations on the county level to control
the operations.
Cainsville Mayor Larry Fox hopes
to break what he terms the “logjam”
over funding for a sewer project for
his community by making a direct
appeal to higher authorities–even to
the president of the United States.
Ron Wagner, vice president and
chief operating officer of the Bank
Northwest facility in Bethany, was
promoted April 16 to the capacity of
president of Bank Northwest.
Dry conditions and high winds
combined to fuel an outbreak of grass
fires last week in Harrison County

the street department.
The city currently has four street
workers while it had eight workers
during Johnson’s previous term as
mayor.
“We need to think about manpower levels and restore them to what
they were 20 years ago,” Johnson
said.
Hagler said the street department
is still able to handle the job. “We are
trying to use more contractors and
seasonal labor,” she said.
The second bill is HB2069, which

Thanks but no thanks
A state representative from the St. Louis
area has come up with a unique idea on
how to restore the Missouri Department
of Transportation to solvency. He wants to
place responsibilities for maintaining lettered
highways on the state’s 114 counties.
Rep. Bryan Spencer’s bill would “compensate” the counties for the additional
responsibilities by giving them a 10%
increase in CART road funds, which presumably would pay for the work of maintaining the hundreds of miles of blacktop roads
within those jurisdictions.
As you would expect, this is a total nonstarter. It may be tempting to give MoDOT
some relief from maintaining 34,000 miles
of roadway, the most in the nation, but a
slight increase in CART aid would never
begin to pay for these roads.
The state’s non-primary highways already
are deteriorating from the highway department’s recent decision to place most of its
effort on the major routes.
Most rural counties are hard pressed in
maintaining their gravel roads. Harrison
County has been fortunate to have a halfcent sales tax that supplies gravel for the
township roads. Without that, the township
roads would have long sunk into the spring-
time mud.
How would anyone expect that these
counties could somehow take on the burden
of repaving and maintaining the present state
routes? That would require a huge investment by county taxpayers who would have
to employ engineers to design these roads
as well as hire new road workers. Even with
more CART money, it’s unlikely that Harrison County has the resources to take over
Editorial
responsibilities for a single lettered route.
We wonder what world Rep. Spencer
lives in; certainly not ours. A representative
of the rich suburbs west of St. Louis has no
idea what it would take for rural counties in
northern Missouri to maintain a new set of
highways.
Old-timers remember what it was like
back in the days before the state established
a network of paved farm-to-market roads.
Going back to that era would be a catastrophe for agriculture production at a time when
Missouri strives to maintain its position as
one of the nation’s most robust farm economies.—Phil Conger.
When super weeds arrive farmers need test results
Movement of three big bills
In my last capitol report, I discussed how the legislature often deals
with numerous bills that are so mundane that they are rarely reported on
by the media. This week, I want to
let you know about three bills with
movement in Jeff City of a meatier
nature.
The first is SJR39, the religious
freedom bill. This bill addresses religious freedoms versus gay rights in
the debate over whether the government can compel clergy and small
business owners to participate in gay
weddings. The first House committee to hear this bill held a hearing on
it this week, and will vote on it next
week. If it passes, it must go through
another committee and then be heard
on the House floor. Ultimately,
SJR39 will not make law, but will
allow the voters of Missouri to weigh
in on the issue at the ballot box.
or teacher wanted protection in case
of an intruder shooting like what happened at Umpqua College in Oregon
last summer. That bill has now been
“laid over” (put on the back burner),
and may be brought up and finished
later this session.
I will continue to keep you abreast
of these and other important legislation, or you may follow them at
house.mo.gov.
Until next time, best wishes of
safety, health and prosperity to you
and your family.
miracle drug saving lives from infections.
Long and wide use of penicillin
led to resistant strains of microbes
that the antibiotic could not kill.
Some microbes resist any drug we
throw at them.
Whether in hospitals or in farmer
fields, we continue to shock ourselves
on what we wrought.
Today, Missouri farmers face
many weeds that herbicides don’t
kill. It’s to the point that some can be
called monster weeds. Modern mutations in weeds wipe out fields of soybeans.
Not long ago, we could drive
down country roads and see miles of
weed-free bean fields. Not now.
In recent years, skinny weeds
began showing above that solid green
canopy of bean leaves. Glyphosate
(Roundup) resistant waterhemp
arrived.
In all species there are genetic
variations. That is why we all don’t
look alike. Each of us has slightly
different DNA guiding our growth.
Those genetic variations occur in
humans, microbes, insects, weeds,
grasses and beef cows. Each living
organism has its own genetic code.
Some weeds are naturally resistant to herbicide such as Roundup.
Most will be vulnerable to a new
weed killer. Those are wiped out with
one spraying. That made Roundup so
popular that soon most farmers used
it.
However, a few resistant individual plants escaped. Those flourished,
producing seed. In a few generations
most all in the population held the
resistant gene.
Resistance is inherited. It is not
just wide use, but misuse of herbicide
that allows spread of super pests.
Last year, Kevin Bradley, MU
Extension weed specialist, warned
farmers about herbicide cutbacks
this year. Facing lower income, some
farmers might be tempted spray half
a dose of herbicide to control weeds.
Half a dose would allow more
resistant weeds to survive, Bradley
warned.
This week, Dr. Bradley gave his
Hometown
boy
Duane Dailey
Professor emeritus, MU
promotion seminar to support justification for going to full professor. It’s
time Bradley becomes permanent at
MU.
He came to Missouri in 2003, a
new PhD in weed science. One of his
first calls was from a farmer near KCI
airport. His herbicide no longer killed
weeds.
Bradley found fields of glyphosate-resistant waterhemp. After 17
years of raising soybeans with the
same herbicide, the farmer had a
solid stand of resistant weeds.
Crop rotation and rotation of herbicides has long been the recommen-
dation of Extension specialists.
In 2004, Bradley earned the honor
of being the first scientist to report
herbicide resistance in weeds. From
that, his career took a new path:
Studying resistance and helping Missouri farmers learn to not make the
same blunder.
That’s not easy. In his seminar,
Bradley said: I try to convince farmers to use a complex system, when
they have a very simple system that
works. One herbicide, one time on
one crop.
His second lesson: Herbicideresistant weeds are not a problem
until they reach my field.
It’s taken years, but now farmers see the seriousness of resistance.
Bradley said: When they call now
they say tell me what to do and I’ll
do it.
Often, when a farmer saw resistance develop he doubled or tripled
the dose of weed killer. That developed super resistant weeds. Only one
weed need survive. But, it carries
one tough survival gene. That’s great
granddaddy of very hardy weeds.
The advantage of having Bradley here: Missouri farmers are ahead
in recognizing dangers of resistant
weeds.
His seminar should be heard by
every farmer – and state legislator.
It is good to have a smart unbiased
source of information at MU Extension.
Guess the reaction of that first
resistant weed report. The corporate
maker of Roundup urged Bradley to
not report it. But, a land-grant university provides independent advice to
help all farmers and consumers.

“These upgrades will help Bethany’s electric department to provide
better system reliability to its electric utility customers,” said Duncan

Bethany man charged after injury accident
Willy Morin, 23, of Bethany was
arrested on numerous charges after
three persons, including two children,
were injured in an accident Saturday
night in Gentry County.
Morin was the driver of an SUV
that was involved in a Highway Patrol
pursuit on Route A in Gentry County.
Officers deployed spike sticks to
deflate tires on the vehicle during the
chase which originated because of
traffic violations.
Morin was reported to have intentionally driven the SUV off the roadway. Morin jumped out of the moving
vehicle before it hit an embankment
and overturned onto its side.
Three passengers in the vehicle,
Lacie Bever, 32, Cadence Brumley,
9, and Cayden Brumley, 6, all from
Worth, were taken to Northwest
Medical Center in Albany for treatment of minor injuries.
The Highway Patrol reported that
none of the occupants were wearing
safety devices.
Morin was arrested after a short
pursuit on foot.
He was charged in Gentry County
with speeding, failure to drive on the
right half of the road, failing to have
a valid license, driving while intoxicated/drug related, possession of
drug paraphernalia, failure to secure
a child in a seat belt, failure to secure
a child in a booster seat and resisting
arrest by fleeing. He also was charged
with three counts of first degree
endangering the welfare of a child.
Ms. Bever also was charged with
two counts of endangering the welfare of a child and marijuana possession.
Morin and Bever are to be
arraigned today (Wednesday) in
Gentry County Circuit Court.

Specialist joins
hospital’s staff
Harrison County Community
Hospital has announced that Marc
Taormina, MD, a gastrointestinal
specialist, will be holding monthly
clinics at the hospital’s Outpatient
Specialty Clinic.
Dr. Taormina, who is board certified in gastroenterology, internal
medicine, and geriatric medicine,
specializes in the detection and prevention of colorectal cancer, hemorrhoid treatment and managing
inflammatory bowel disorders such
as Crohn’s disease and colitis.
“The ability to see not only a gastroenterologist, but physicians from
nearly 20 other specialties, is an enormous convenience for our patients,”
said Kelly Pottorff, the hospital’s
chief executive officer.
“Rather than making our patients
drive to a distant facility to see a specialist, they are able to have consultations or procedures in Bethany,” he
added.
Dr. Taormina earned his medical
degree at the University of MissouriKansas City School of Medicine and
of 2014.
Police officers had chased the
stolen cruiser at speeds surpassing
100 miles an hour. Boyd reportedly
called his father during the chase and
told him that was going to visit his
deceased mother and grandfather.
Officers found the cruiser abandoned at the 75-mile marker of I-35.
An extensive manhunt was conducted
by area police, Highway Patrol and
sheriff’s officers in the countryside
north of Pattonsburg.

Candidate makes local stop: Catherine Hanaway, Republican candidate
for governor, visited the Harrison County Courthouse on Wednesday during
a campaign tour across North Missouri. Hanaway, a resident of the St. Louis
area, broke ground for women in Missouri politics when she was elected
speaker of the Missouri House, the only woman to serve in that position. “We
passed a lot of meaningful legislation” after Republicans took the majority
in the House in 2002, Hanaway said. During her visit to Bethany, Hanaway
called for more efficiency in transportation spending. She said MoDOT faces
a challenge in maintaining 34,000 miles of highways but opposes turning the
lettered highways over to the counties, as has been proposed in the Legislature.

I enjoyed the weather and chatting with
him, too.

It was an April Sunday to appreciate. Peonies and violets seem to
pop up overnight. What a wonderful
world, driving out singing birds and
frogs, perfume of wild plum blossoms reminiscence of childhood.
Nowhere more beautiful than Harrison County–red buds, magnolias,
pretty shaped flowering pear trees,
crab apples in pink full bloom. Every
cow mother has a tiny baby calf by
her side. Tom and Braden Hogan
mowed lawns to green perfection.
United Methodist Church pastor
Gina Lucas always gives an inspiring thought. She spoke that Jesus
received various responses to his
amazing miracles. He said Abide
in Me and I abide in you. Abiding
behaviors leads to belief.
Everyone was happy to see Carrie
Beth Renner and Sierra. Julie Dale
brought Anniston. These little girls
wanted to see and hold Quincy
Norris’ tiny new sister, Kacey Norris.
Henry and Delores invited son
Jerry and Wanda. A nice selection of
food filled the table. A time for church
family fellowship and feasting.
Tony and Linda Wilcoxson had
lunch with Neoma Wilcoxson Friday.
They used power sprayer to clean
green moss growing on the houses

KCP&L to
buy from
wind farms
KCP&L announced plans last
week to purchase an additional 500
megawatts (MW) of power from
two new wind facilities in its service region. That’s enough energy to
power up to 170,000 homes.
“This announcement marks a
significant investment in renewable
energy, and will benefit our customers
and the region,” said KCP&L President and CEO, Terry Bassham. “Over
the past decade, we’ve transitioned
our energy mix to become more sustainable and cleaner, and today is the
most recent in a series of investments
in renewable energy. We’re excited to
announce our first wind facilities in
our Missouri service area.”
Osborn is a 200 MW wind farm
that is being constructed by NextEra
Energy Resources in DeKalb County
just east of St. Joseph. Osborn is
expected to reach commercial operation by the end of 2016. Rock Creek is a 300 MW wind
farm that is being constructed by
Tradewind Energy in Atchison
County, near Tarkio, Mo. Rock Creek
is expected to reach commercial
operation by September, 2017.
Bulldog football schedule to
have a new look next season
South Harrison’s football schedule will be beefed up with new opponents for the 2016 season following
the expansion of the Grand River
Conference.
Two recent GRC members,
Braymer and King City, will be
moving to the small school 8-man
football division. Taking their place
will be three new schools, Trenton,
Milan and Putnam County.
Athletic director and football
coach Mike Wilhelm said the Bulldogs will need more players coming
out for football to be competitive in
the expanded conference. “Ideally, I
would like to see 55 players out year
in and year out,” Wilhelm said.
South Harrison finished with a 5-2
record in the conference last year.
The Bulldogs will take on two
Class 2 heavyweights, East Buchanan
(away) on Aug. 19 and Lathrop (at
home) on August 26, before getting
into their conference schedule.
Polo will visit Bethany at 7 p.m.
on Sept. 2.
The Bulldogs’ other conference
games will be at Maysville on Sept.
9, at Gallatin on Sept. 16, before a
home game against Trenton on Sept.
23, a game at Milan on Sept. 30 and
at home against Princeton on Oct. 7.
The Bulldogs will wrap up their conference season with a game at Putnam
County on Oct. 14.
The district playoffs will start on
Oct. 21.
North Harrison boys beat North Nodaway
The North Harrison boys’ baseball
team, which is playing its inaugural
season, won their first game of the
season on April 11, beating North

Putnam County defeated the
Shamrocks 13-0 on April 12 at
Unionville. Putnam’s junior varsity

going into the weekend.
The next home games will be at 5

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.)

at 5:30 p.m. on April 26 in the Gilman
City school gymnasium. They are
sponsoring a potato bar meal and a
silent auction to support Brittany’s
fight.
Brittany was diagnosed with rhabdomyosarcoma cancer in preschool.
During the first grade year, her right
leg was amputated above the knee in
hopes of stemming the cancer. However, the cancer was recently found to
have come back.
“Brittany always has a smile on
her face and will fight this cancer
with all her might,” friends say.
Area residents may donate to
the silent auction by calling Principal Brent Mitchell at 660-876-5221.

was diagnosed with rhabdomyosarcoma cancer in preschool. But she
hasn’t let the illness get her down and
continues to take part in school activities. She is pictured above during the
recent Gilman City prom.
Area readers came to the Bethany
Public Library Wednesday afternoon
to fill grocery sacks with free books
during National Library Week.
Library Director Janee’ Lehleitner said she was pleased with the
response for the library’s book giveaway from 3:30 to 5:30 on Wednesday afternoon. Patrons sifted through
hundreds of books in the basement of
the library to pick out their summer
reading material.
More than 70 patrons chose books
from the hundreds of duplicate titles
and excess books that have been
stored at the library.
The book giveaway was extended
to two hours on Tuesday evening to
give residents the opportunity to pick
out books after work.
The Library Board has embarked
on an effort to reduce the library’s
inventory through sales and giveaways. The library recently held a
teacher day when elementary faculty
members were invited to pick out
books for their classroom. Twelve
teachers took part in the distribution.
The library opened a Book Sale
Room on March 30 to sell some of
the more popular titles at a nominal
cost. The book room will be open
during normal library hours.
The Friends of the Bethany Public
Library also recently announced

plans to open a bookstore at the Bethany Senior Center. The library has
also been selling books at the Main
Street Antiques.
Lehleitner told the Library Board
at Wednesday’s meeting that the City
Council has approved a $67,298 oper-
ating budget for the library during the
2016-17 fiscal year. The council also
has approved the removal of the ceiling tiles from the library’s parking
lot at a total cost of $25,000 over the
next two years.
