BLUNT’S NOTES
BY U.S. SENATOR ROY BLUNT
Our country is facing a health
crisis unlike anything we have
ever seen. Americans are un-
derstandably concerned about
the coronavirus pandemic, but
I have no doubt we will rise to
this challenge together.
While Congress can’t legis-
late an end to this disease, my
colleagues and I are doing our
part to make sure we have the
resources in place to respond
effectively at all levels of gov-
ernment - federal, state, and
local - to get this pandemic un-
der control.
In early March, Congress
passed immediate emergen-
cy funding for health-related
response efforts. We followed
that with a second package that
addressed paid sick leave, en-
hanced unemployment insur-
means, for example, a typical
middle-class family of four will
get $3,400 to help them meet
their daily expenses or cover
costs they didn’t have before.
We want to make sure fam-
ilies can make ends meet with
all of the disruptions in our
economy. To do that, we need to
help them maintain an income
now and make sure they have
jobs to come back to when the
immediate crisis has passed.
The CARES Act does this by
providing support to small
businesses to keep them afloat.
Anyone from a small town
knows that these businesses
are the life of their community.
More than 99% of businesses in
our state are small businesses.
The CARES Act includes $350
billion to provide cash flow
the CARES Act provides the
resources that health care pro-
fessionals - doctors, nurses,
and medical researchers - need
to fight this pandemic.
The law makes sure all test-
ing for coronavirus patients
will be covered by insurance
and so will the eventual vaccine
for this disease. It provides an
additional $16 billion for per-
sonal protective equipment,
ventilators, and other medical
supplies for federal and state
response efforts. Hospitals get
significant support so they can
remain solvent as they make
adjustments to the coronavirus
response.
Doctors and hospitals also
have more flexibility to offer
telehealth services, which is
particularly important in rural

ance and food assistance, and
increased health care funding
for states.
We have just passed the third
package: the Coronavirus Aid,
Relief, and Economic Security
Act (CARES Act) to build on
those efforts. The CARES Act
provides financial assistance to
Americans and their families,
helps small businesses main-
tain their payrolls, stabilizes
major sectors of our economy,
and gives health care providers
the tools they need to fight this
pandemic.
First, the legislation provides
immediate, direct payments
to most taxpayers. Under the
CARES Act, an individual per-
son making up to $75,000 or a
married couple making up to
$150,000 will be eligible for
$1,200 for each person. Fam-
ilies will receive an addition-
al $500 for each child. That
BLAINE’S BULLETIN
BY 3RD DIST. OF MO. U.S. REP. BLAINE LUETKEMEYER
There is no shortage of com-
mentary and media reports
on the ongoing pandemic that
has confined many of us to our
homes and restricted most of
our day-to-day to interactions.
However, there is often a dif-
ference between “news” and
information. Please remember
you can find fact-based infor-
mation from the Missouri De-
partment of Health and Senior
Services at health.mo.gov and
from the Centers for Disease
assistance to small businesses
through federally guaranteed
loans. Many of these loans will
be eligible for forgiveness if
employers maintain their pay-
rolls through this emergency.
Larger industries that em-
ploy hundreds of thousands
of Missourians, like aviation,
tourism, and hospitality, have
also taken a big hit. We need
to stabilize major sectors of
our economy, and this pack-
age does so without putting
taxpayers on the hook for gi-
ant bailouts. It’s important to
keep in mind that, unlike with
previous financial downturns,
there are no major structural
problems with the economy to-
day.
But we can’t overcome the
immediate economic chal-
lenges until we beat the health
care challenges. That’s why
cult situation. Along the same
line, the bill makes funding
available for businesses so
workers have a job to return to
when the time comes.
Specifically, the bill pro-
vides every American making
under $99,000 a year a check
directly from the U.S. Treasury
to supplement missed income
and makes emergency loans
available to businesses to help
them keep people employed
and ready to hit the ground
areas. Telehealth can help keep
people out of the doctor’s office
so they don’t get sick and don’t
make other people sick.
The CARES Act includes
additional funding to support
biomedical research conducted
by agencies like the National
Institutes of Health. This re-
search is critical to speeding up
the development of a vaccine
for the coronavirus and help-
ing protect our country from
future pandemics.
While the CARES Act wasn’t
a perfect bill, Congress was
able to come together and do
the work the American peo-
ple expect us to do. I will keep
working with my colleagues to
do all we can to support Amer-
icans so that, when this pan-
demic has passed, we are back
at full strength as soon as pos-
sible.
the relief the country needs
and we can’t let the perfect be
the enemy of the good.
Just as important as - and
much more impressive than -
the government’s efforts are
actions citizens and businesses
are taking to protect the na-
tion. Here in Missouri people
are going out of their way to
support their local businesses
by getting meals to go or order-
ing items to be delivered. On a

Vernon’s Views
by Trevor Vernon email: tvernon@vernonpublishing.com
We have been forced to change our dai-
ly habits. Some changes have been wel-
come, many have not. There is a change
that has bothered me lately. That change
is no traditional funerals.
If you know me very well, that might
sound strange. I don’t like funerals. I
usualy only go to family funerals. Part-
ly because I cry. Cry like a baby. My wife
says it’s an ugly cry too. And I’m sure she
is right. So if I don’t come to your funer-
al, it’s not because you weren’t special to
me. Yogi Berra once said, “Always go to
other people’s funerals, otherwise they
won’t come to yours.” There may not be
anyone at my funeral and thats okay.
Funerals are closure. It is the release
for me. It isn’t really a time to say good-
bye, but a time to start moving forward.
It is a time for comfort and hopefully a
funny story or two. I pray for those fam-
ilies that aren’t getting to do that during
this time.
There are two people who have died in
the last couple of weeks that were embed-
ded in the business community of Eldon.
Dee Spalding was one of a kind. She
reminded me of my grandmother. She
was feisty. She could make you laugh and
change your behavior in the same sen-
tence. She worked with the Eldon Cham-
ber of Commerce for many years and I
got to know her well.
She was one of those people who kept
things going. She poured her heart and
soul into what she was doing. The last
phone: (573) 392-5658
time I saw her we were at the doctor’s of-
fice. I had done something stupid to my
finger and was getting stitches out. She
was coming in for a checkup. She asked,
“How are you doing? Wait, wait, we both
would be doing better if we weren’t here.”
I was doing instantaneously better and I
hope she was too. I’ll miss running into
her.
Another person we lost recently was
Graham Grimes. I first met Graham on
the golf course. I had just moved back
from college and decided to join men’s
league. I’m not that great at golf but it was
a scramble and sounded fun. I was put on
Graham’s team. I was highly competitive
and wanted to win. If you have ever played
golf with Graham he wanted to have fun.
He also seemed to have a competitive
streak. If I topped a ball and it went 5 feet
he would one up me and hit his 2 feet.
That was the type of golfer Graham was.
I laughed so hard that night. From that
point on I didn’t want to be with the best
golfers, I wanted to play with Graham.
Graham touched and changed many
people’s lives. His and Kathi’s house was
always open. His legacy in Eldon will live
on in the people who knew him.
So pray for these families and others go-
ing through the same thing for peace. It is
a trying time for everyone but those fam-
ilies that won’t be able to have traditional
funerals will be first in my prayers this
week. And thanks for sharing your loved
ones with us.

coronavirus.
Through partnering with
countless citizens and busi-
nesses with the shared goal of
keeping Americans safe and
beating the virus, Congress,
the Trump Administration,
and Missouri’s Governor con-
tinue to take unprecedented
steps. After two important bills
were passed into law over the
last couple weeks, we expect
a third package to be signed
into law very soon. The bill,
called the CARES Act, focuses
on helping families and busi-
nesses stay afloat during the
economic slowdown brought
on by the virus. Whether you’re
battling the virus, a parent of
a child whose school has been
closed, or a restaurant worker
who is unable to work, this bill
is designed to help you make
ends meet and not be further
punished by an already diffi-
running when the virus is un-
der control. The President set
a goal of April 6 for that mon-
ey to start being delivered to
Americans. For those workers
whose employers were forced
to shut down, unemployment
insurance was also bolstered to
ensure you’ll maintain a steady
income. These are steps we all
hoped the government would
never have to take, but they are
necessary for our country to
get back up and running, hope-
fully in the not-too-distant fu-
ture.
To be clear, not everything
in the bill is good. A $2 trillion,
nearly 1,000-page package is
bound to have objectionable
provisions, and this is no ex-
ception. Like many of you, I
find the demand for $25 mil-
lion for the Kennedy Center
of Performing Arts in Wash-
ington, D.C. to be absolutely
ridiculous. The fact that some
of my colleagues - most notably
the Speaker of the House - have
approached this as an opportu-
nity to check items off a politi-
cal checklist that have nothing
to do with the virus exemplifies
the very worst of Washington.
However, as the President said,
we had to negotiate to achieve
retrofitting factories to make
medical equipment and es-
sential items for the country.
One of many examples is Bud-
weiser using their resources to
produce hand sanitizer. While
many of us would certainly
welcome one of their tradi-
tional products right now, this
is a great service Budweiser,
and many other Missouri com-
panies, are providing for the
greater good.
There remains a lot of uncer-
tainty and much more needs to
be done. But if we all contin-
ue looking out for each other,
remaining vigilant about our
health, and taking care of our
families we will come out even
stronger.

GINNY’S GLIMPSES
BY GINNY DUFFIELD
Apparently, some city people don’t
think those of us in rural areas deserve to
have access to a full line of products at our
local grocery stores. Three times in the last
two weeks I’ve heard credible tales about St.
Louisans sweeping into stores around Lake
of the Ozarks, including in towns as small as
Meta, and buying up as much as they could.
Strangely, they too have been particularly in-
terested in toilet paper.
In fact, the toilet paper shortage here has
been frequent enough that people have been
trading techniques for using old wash cloths,
odd socks, and torn up towels and clothing
for cleansing and then how to clean them up
for reuse. (Do not, under any circumstances,
flush them.) Not any different than utilizing
cloth diapers but most people have no experi-
ence with that so need some instructions.
Some city folks are moving to their lake
homes, which may not be the smartest move.
If they get sick, our medical services cannot
handle an onslaught of thousands more pa-
tients. Many of you are like me, you’re 10 or
more miles from the nearest doctor and 30
or more miles from the nearest hospital. We
may have to compete with folks from the cit-
ies at our limited clinics and hospitals. I don’t
consider that fair.
I also don’t believe that as of March 27,
when I’m writing this, that Miller County
Our medical supplies, including pharma-
ceuticals, should not mostly be coming from
half a world away. Efforts need to be made
to bring manufacture of those products back
to North America, creating not only jobs but
also keeping some country from using access
to those supplies as a weapon of war.
The “just in time” mindset of having prod-
ucts delivered to a business may work for
auto plants but it does not work for medical
providers. From now on, clinics, ambulance
services, hospitals, etc., should keep enough
on hand for the coming six months or a year,
not just until the end of this month.
Certain stockpiles, such as ventilators,
should be kept by the federal government and
ready for transport to where they are needed
almost instantaneously. There are National
Guard and Reserve medical units and they
would be able to make sure the stockpiles of
mechanical and electronic medical devices
are kept in good working order and deter-
mine which should be rotated out to be sold
as surplus property and replaced from time
to time.

Shoplifting call leads to arrest

of two men on multiple felony charges
A report of shoplifting in
progress Saturday, March 28
at Menard’s in Lake Ozark led
to the arrest of an Eldon man
and an Iberia man on multiple
felony charges.
Matthew Christopher Ed-
ington, 32, of Eldon has been
charged with first degree tam-
pering with a motor vehicle,
receiving stolen property, and
possession of a controlled sub-
stance except 35 grams or less
of marijuana/synthetic canna-
binoid, all class D felonies.
He was taken to the Miller
County Jail with bond set at
$75,000.
Cody Dale Umfleet, 28, of
Lebanon has been charged
with possession of a controlled
substance except 35 grams or
less of marijuana/synthetic
cannabinoid, first degree tam-
pering with a motor vehicle,
receiving stolen property, and
unlawful possession of a fire-
arm, all class D felonies.
He was taken to the Miller
County Jail with bond set at
$50,000. Condition of bond
was he be placed on GPS mon-
itoring.
No court dates have yet been
set.
Probable cause
statement - Edington
Lake Ozark Police Officer
Cory Anderson stated he had
probable cause to believe Ed-
ington committed criminal
offenses of first degree tamper-
ing, unlawful possession of a
firearm, stealing (under $750)
and receiving stolen property.
According to the statement,
at approximately 1:51 p.m.
March 28 he responded to a re-
port of shoplifting in progress
at Menard’s.
The reporting party advised
Lake Ozark Communications
of two male subjects, one stuff-
ing things inside his jacket
from the electrical aisle, and
the other removing items from
the shelves.
Upon arrival, Officer Ander-
son staged across the street to
observe the front door.
Communications advised
him the reporting party stat-
ed one of the men had gone to
a vehicle and entered the pas-
senger door. The given Missou-
ri registration was ICCR05 on a
silver Ford F-150 pickup.
The reporting party stated
the man had exited the store
with a stolen item from the
items inside the store that both
Umfleet and Edington had
planned on stealing that day.
The item in the pickup, that
belonged to Menard’s and
was stolen, was identified as a
screwdriver with a few bits.
Officers Anderson and Ons-
tott made contact with the man
in the passenger seat, iden-
tified as Edington. Edington
is currently on probation and
parole for possession of a con-
trolled substance.
While contacting Edington
in the pickup Anderson ob-
served him looking back at Of-
ficer Dylan Green, while he was
taking Umfleet into custody.
Edington attempted to start
the truck from the passenger
seat in an attempt to flee the
parking lot while officers were
placing Umfleet in custody.
Officers then contacted Mill-
er County Corporal Josh Wil-
son to respond to the scene
with his K9 partner to conduct
a free air sniff of the vehicle.
Wilson said he and his partner
had made a positive indication
to the passenger side of the ve-
hicle.
While opening the doors of
the vehicle, Corporal Wilson
advised me he believed the
vehicle had been stolen out of
Iberia. A check of the VIN con-
firmed it was stolen.
A search of the vehicle re-
vealed a large quantity of cig-
arettes, car keys, dealer plates,
license plates and miscella-
neous items, as well as two
state inspection booklets in the
back seat of the vehicle.
The keys located in the vehi-
cle were approximately 30 keys
from Midtown Motors (Cam-
den County) and multiple keys
from Kelsay car lot in Iberia.
Both businesses were broken
into within the past 30 days.
Also inside the vehicle was
a dealer tag D2549 MO, which
had been stolen out of Camden
County.
In the door pocket officers
located a plastic bag with a
crystalline substance which
field tested positive for meth-
amphetamine.
In between the center con-
sole and driver’s seat officers
located a Hi Point 9mm hand-
gun. Both Edington and Um-
fleet are convicted felons and
not allowed to possess any fire-
arms.
Edington was placed on
a probation and parole hold
Officer Anderson noted that
the investigation into several
burglaries, arsons and motor
vehicle thefts are still ongoing.
Edington is a flight risk due
to the ongoing investigation
and his knowledge of the inves-
tigation.
Edington, Anderson said, is
also a significant risk to society
as to his relation to the thefts,
burglaries and arson.
A handgun was seized out
of the pickup truck, but other
guns are still outstanding and
have yet to be recovered in re-
lation to the crimes.
Probable cause
statement - Umfleet
Lake Ozark Police Officer
Dylan Green’s statement con-
firmed that of Officer Ander-
son and noted that he had
witnessed Umfleet exiting
Menard’s and made contact
with him. He was nervous act-
ing and stated the vehicle be-
longed to him.
Officers Anderson and Ons-
tott made contact with the man
in the passenger seat, identi-
fied as Edington, who is cur-
rently on probation and parole
for possession of a controlled
substance.
Officer Green then contacted
Miller County K9 officer Cor-
poral Josh Wilson to respond
to the scene with his partner
to conduct a free air sniff of the
vehicle.
Upon arrival, Wilson’s K9
partner made a positive indi-
cation on the passenger side
of the vehicle, which led to a
search of the vehicle, which
revealed cigarettes, car keys, a
dealer plate, license plates and
two state inspection booklets
in the back seat.
Green also stated that the
keys were from Midtown Mo-
tors and the Kelsay car lot, and
that both businesses had been
broken into within the past 30
days.
The dealer tag inside the
vehicle, D2549 MO, had also
been stolen.
Green also confirmed locat-
ing a plastic bag of crystalline
substance in the door pocket
that field tested positive for
methamphetamine and a Hi
Point 9mm handgun between
the center console and driver’s
seat. Umfleet is a convicted fel-
on and not allowed to possess
any firearms.

Two St. Robert motorcyclists
were injured in a five-vehi-
cle crash at 4:06 p.m. Sunday,
March 29 on Highway 42 near
Crosswinds Drive in Miller
County.
According to the Missouri
State Highway Patrol, the crash
occurred as Gene S. Calantoc,
35, of St. Robert was eastbound
on Highway 42 on a 2019 Suzu-
ki GSX motorcycle, and was in
the westbound lane as he tried
to pass several vehicles.
He was struck by a west-
bound 2015 Chevrolet Silver-
ado driven by Joseph D. Cris-
tian, 18, of Wildwood. Calantoc
was ejected and came to rest in
the roadway.
An eastbound 2012 Dodge
Ram, driven by Scott J. Weller,
37, of Tuscumbia; and an east-
bound 2003 Chevrolet Silver-

male from Brumley; were each
struck by unknown debris
from the motorcycle.

Calantoc suffered serious

With schools closed due to Covid-19, in her own words:

Education continues on the homefront

By Shelly Davis
As the wife of a long-time
school superintendent (Eldon
Superintendent Matt Davis),
home-schooling is perhaps
the last thing I ever thought I
would do.
However, as the last few
weeks have progressed, I
would say many of us have
found ourselves doing things
we never expected. Our first
week of at-home learning
went pretty well and we have
tried to maintain as much
“normalcy” as possible.
The kids wake up each day
and head down to the barn to
feed their bottle calves. For
those of you who don’t know,
Mr. Davis began his career
as an Agriculture Education
teacher.
While his focus has shift-
ed as an educator, his pas-
sion and love for agriculture
remains the same. The very
first day we were out of school
he took the kids over to a local
dairy farmer and purchased
two calves. “Crash” and
they do at school, and if you
“Nash” have definitely made misbehave, “I’m going to call
themselves at home at the Mr. Davis”! However, that

By far the person in our
family who loves at-home
learning the most is our
youngest daughter, Kallyn.
Kallyn will be two in May
and has adored having all her
people here with her each day.
As soon as we start school,
she immediately comes to the
table and sits by the kids. She
loves to color and do activi-
ties just like the “big kids”.
She is often in the way
and we have learned to work
around her. She will definite-
for sure!
For a family whose life
mostly revolves around the
busy school calendar, our
evenings haven’t looked too
much different than before.
Instead of going to concerts
at school, we have our own
concerts at home.
Instead of practicing ball
with our friends, we play
ball in the yard. Instead of
cheering on the Mustangs
at games, track meets and
matches, we cheer for each
other in the driveway.
Although we still haven’t
given up hope that we will get
to see a baseball game played
at the beautiful new McMil-
len Field this season.
Our family has definitely
tried to make the best out of
a very unfortunate situation.

COVID-19 IMPACT - emergency medical
Emergency medical per-
sonnel from the ambulance
district and area fire depart-
ments find themselves on the
“front lines” in the COVID-19
crisis.
The Advertiser reached out
to the Miller County Ambu-
lance District and area fire
departments and districts to
identify precautions being
taken and policies that may
have been changed during
this crisis.
Miller County
Ambulance District
Miller County Ambulance
District Administrator Ron
Schlicht gave the following
insight into how district per-
sonnel are coping with the
crisis.
What changes in policy
has your district or agen-
cy implemented since the
start of the outbreak?
“We have provided Miller
County Dispatch with a series
of questions to ask any 911
callers,” Schlicht said. “The
answers to those questions
are determining factors in
how we prepare and respond.
We can’t say enough about
the dispatchers and their con-
tribution to keeping our crew
informed and prepared.”
Are there any particu-
lar precautions you are
taking to minimize expo-
sure and safeguard the
health of your person-
nel?
Schlicht said the district
has additional PPE (Personal
Protective Equipment) and
has made some changes to
the interior of the ambulance
to isolate the patient from the
Medic or EMT.
From a mental and
emotional standpoint,
how are crews coping
with this and what, if
any, support measures
are in place to help with
this?
“To begin with, all EMS
workers are accustomed to
working with patients that
may carry some sort of conta-
gious illness,” Schlicht noted.
“In this case, it seems to be
getting more attention and is
considered more dangerous.
“All management is avail-
able to the staff for support,
and the board of directors is
also very supportive and en-
gaged, and available if neces-
sary.”
What message do you
have for members of the
public, in terms of assist-
ing in your efforts?

Eldon Fire Department
Eldon Fire Chief Randy
Vernon gave the following
insight into how the depart-
ment is coping with the crisis.
What changes in policy
has your district or agen-
cy implemented since the
start of the outbreak?
“City of Eldon Fire Depart-
ment policies have changed
slightly. The policy dealing
with medical emergencies,
has changed to further pro-
tect firefighters, while pro-
viding and maintaining the
highest level of care for the
community,” Vernon said.
“Personal protective equip-
ment is mandatory for all
personnel that are to assist
with patient care. Only those
who are an absolute necessi-
ty are to be near patients that
have the signs and symptoms
of Covid 19,” he added. “All
other personnel are to remain
outside, a safe distance away,
unless requested by ambu-
lance personnel. Personnel
are also taking additional dis-
infecting procedures for uni-
forms, personal hygiene and
other equipment, as needed.”
Are there any particu-
lar precautions you are
taking to minimize expo-
sure and safeguard the
health of your person-
nel?
“Calls are monitored and
certain CDC recommenda-
tions for patient symptoms
are noted, no matter how ba-
sic the medical call may be,”
Vernon explained. “Certain
additional personal protec-
tive equipment has been ob-
tained (through donations)
that are not commonly used,
and has been made available
to our personnel. Unfortu-
nately there is not enough
PPE to handle a large-scale
or sudden mass increase of
infected people. We are cur-
rently waiting for a shipment
to be made available through
the State Emergency Man-
agement Agency, to provide
additional personal protec-
tive equipment.”
From a mental and
emotional standpoint,
how are crews coping
with this and what, if
any, support measures

are in place to help with
this?
“Emotions are always a
major concern for the depart-
ment when it comes to some-
thing of this magnitude.,”
Vernon noted. “Personnel
can request assistance at any
time they feel the need, and
we do debriefings for exten-
uating circumstances. There
are also local and state re-
sources available, including
counseling, that can be uti-
lized should the need arise.”
What message do you
have for members of the
public, in terms of assist-
ing in your efforts?
“As our national and state
leaders have mentioned,
PLEASE STAY AT HOME,”
Vernon emphasized. “The
spread of this virus is the
major issue, and can only be
dealt with, at a local level, by
people being responsible for
themselves and their family.
“Our local EMS system is
limited in personnel, person-
al protective equipment and
available medical facilities
to manage a large influx of
positive cases needing more
than quarantined at home,”
he added. “We are told that
it will get worse before it gets
better, but we can prevail if
people will only take certain
precautions and think before
they act.
“The biggest thing is not to
be in groups of 10 or more,
and keeping a distance of six
feet between each other,” he
added. “This is a virus, and
is spread through the air and
personal contact. The more
people practice social dis-
tancing and staying at home,
the quicker the situation will
be remediated.”
He added that there are
several civic groups and vol-
unteers that can assist those
who are in need of groceries
and personal items.
Some grocery and retail
stores and pharmacies are
also offering early shopping
for those in high risk catego-
ries and pick-up or delivery

share some positive sto-
ries from your interac-

“As always, there have been
many people in our communi-
ty offering to provide support
through disinfecting supplies
and masks for the station and
EMTs,” Vernon noted. “We
want to thank our community
for the concern and support
we’ve received since last May.
It’s been a trying year, and we
will get through this current
crisis if we all work together
for the health of everyone in
the community.”

Rocky Mount Fire
Protection District
Rocky Mount Fire Protec-

Hurtubise gave insight into
how his district personnel are
coping with the outbreak.
What changes in policy
has your district or agen-
cy implemented since the
start of the outbreak?
Hurtubise said most calls
are being handled in the same
manner as they always have,
been, but said the following
will apply to calls involving a
patient with difficulty breath-
ing, history of travel or con-
tact with COVID-19.
A)  If the patient can come
outside of the residence they
will be asked to meet us out-
side.
B)  Only one firefighter will
be within six feet of the pa-
tient, unless that firefighter
needs assistance caring for
the patient.
C)  Our firefighter will be
dressed in personal protec-
tive clothing including, cover-
alls, mask, gloves, face shield,
and shoe covering.
D)  Family members and
bystanders are asked to give
all firefighters not less than
six feet of space, so they can
provide the needed care and
obtain information from
them.
Are there any particu-
lar precautions you are
taking to minimize expo-
sure and safeguard the
health of your person-
nel?
To minimize exposure, the
following is in place.

IBERIA UNITED
METHODIST CHURCH
Tricia Quist, Pastor
We are anxiously wait-
ing for the time we can start
meeting together again, but
in the meantime I thought I’d
share some thoughts from the
past week.
I came across a Bible verse
in an old Upper Room that
helped me find comfort in
this time of uncertainty.
Isaiah 31: 13, “I am the Lord
your God who takes hold of
your right hand and says to
you, ‘Do not fear; I will help
you.’ I liked the imagery that
brought to mind, and it re-
minded me of another strong,
saving hand.
When I was about eleven
Have you heard the phrase,
“a month of Sundays”? As a
kid, I remember just dreading
Sundays, not because of going
to church. That was actually
the high point of the day. It was
because of what came after.
Mom would fix a big lunch and
then . . . nothing for the rest of
the day!
The TV would be off and dad
would nap in his chair - why
would anyone actually want a
nap? I could get on my bike and
ride around my small town, but
the swimming pool was closed
. . . because it was Sunday.
The drug store and dime
store were closed . . . because
it was Sunday. Restaurants . . .
closed. In fact, the only things
open at all on Sunday were
the grocery story and gas sta-
tion – only one each. And the
beer cooler in the gas station
was covered with a tarp. (You

or twelve my family went on
a vacation to Florida, and
we were visiting a group of
friends in a rental house near
a beach. This particular beach
did not have a lifeguard, but
several of the adults in the
party were strong swimmers,
so everyone felt safe ventur-
ing into the waves. One day
the undertow in the Gulf was
unusually strong. My friend
and I were playing in the wa-
ter and wandered out a little
too far, unable to find secure
footing to walk and swim
back to shore. When my fa-
ther realized that others were
having trouble returning to
shore he waded into the surf
toward us. With a serious ex-
pression that made me think
I was going to be in trouble.
He was waist deep when he
reached us and being buffet-
ed by the waves. With grim
determination he grabbed
each of us by the wrist and
headed for shore. In his ex-
traordinary and adrenaline
fueled efforts to maintain
his balance against the surf I
remember being dragged un-
der the churning water from
time to time, coming up sput-
tering and gasping, and still
stumbling to gain a secure
foothold of my own. Never in
those frightening moments
did my father’s grip weaken
or slip. Even underwater and
breathless I trusted him and
knew he loved me and would
never let me go. We all finally
made it back to the shore, out
of breath, exhausted, and un-
harmed. We were safe at last.
Although nowadays we are
not shaking hands or giving
hugs to each other in this
socially distant time, it is
important to remember that
God holds us in His hands.
He will never leave or forsake
us, and our trust in Him will
bring us through the crisis.
We will be safe again at last.
Please remember to pray
for our friends, neighbors,
and family; the medical pro-
fessionals, clerks, deliverers,
custodians; and for our na-
tion and the afflicted people
throughout the world.
CONCORD
CHRISTIAN CHURCH
by Lee A. Todd, Minister
I personally thank you all
for responding to my “live”
message on “Encouraging.”
The scriptures were the 23rd
Psalm. Jesus is the Master
Encourager. Barnabas, the
Apostle Paul’s companion
and mentor, was a great en-
courager too.
I’m humbled and honored
from the great response fol-
lowing my live message on
“Encouraging.” There were
447 viewers, 109 comments,
and 16 shares. The respons-
es continue to come. Praise
God.
I plan to have another live
message next Sunday, April
5, at 10 a.m. I received cou-
ple of telephone calls during
the live streaming. I started
over and that is why I have
more than one live message.
I enjoyed watching the live
messages from the churches
in Iberia, Crocker, Swedeborg
and Richland.
I appreciate the Bible vers-
es that were posted via texts,
Facebook and messages by
Ted Helms, Sharon Luttrell,
Rita Pemberton, Pam Lut-
trell, Jerry Strong and our
daughters, Debbie and Su-
souri Blue Laws” to find out
what I’m talking about.) With
nowhere to go and nothing to
do, Sundays lasted forever!
Yesterday evening, I had to
run to the grocery story to pick
up just a couple of items, hop-
ing against hope that I could
get in and out of the store
quickly. We had a fire going in
the patio fire pit and had a hot
dog emergency!
I needn’t have been con-
cerned. There was no traffic
and the grocery store parking
lot was full of empty, prime
spots that always seem to be
parked full.
I rushed into the store, grate-
ful for my good luck, but the
store was nearly empty . . . at
7:00 on a Monday evening. I
was so surprised that my knee-
jerk thought was . . . “Oh! Is it
Sunday?”
Silly me! We don’t even slow
down on Sundays anymore. In

san. The word of God is the
best thing we can receive and
apply during these troubling
times and any time.
We will have another con-
ference call with our church
family on Thursday, April 9,
at 6:30 p.m. David Miller will
provide the free telephone
number and the access code
number beforehand. We will
evaluate the corona virus
situation and make a deci-
sion about resuming church
services. I’m really looking
forward to resuming church
services and being with our
church family and friends
again. Our church family is
invited to mail tithes and
gifts to Concord Christian
Church, P.O. Box 63, Iberia,
MO 5486. Thank you.
God has given me three
messages for the live services,
namely, Worry, Love and En-
couraging. God is leading me
to bring the next like message
on “Tried in Fire.” We are be-
ing tried in fire during this
pandemic crisis. Never in our
history have so many people
throughout the world been
going through the fire. We
will never be the same. Ev-
eryone needs to be ready for
the Lord’s coming. We need
to be prepared for the worse
in the event of death. We all
will appear before Jesus.
Ready or not. Amen.
God wants us to do our best
to trust Him, to follow Him
and not to worry. God is in
control. He will defeat Satan
and this horrible corona vi-
rus pandemic. God loves us
beyond our imagination. God
wants us to encourage each
other. God is purifying us as
we go through the fire. God is
blessing us and He will con-
tinue to bless and use us for
His glory. Amen.

being able to shop and do fun

not get out and do some fun
and relaxing things? For me,
though, that has to be the part
that comes after . . . after wor-

As this COVID-19 pandemic
has overcome us, I’ve felt an
odd sense of calm. I under-
stand the concerns about loss
of work and getting sick and
even running out of TP. The
potential for harm in this sit-

that some of us will not weath-

would like.

There was no Sunday
times, as he does all of the
times of our lives. The Bible
tells us over and over again not
to worry, not to be afraid.
Jesus has purchased a place
for us and has promised to
come back for us. What we
stand to lose on earth cannot
compete with what we gain
through an eternity with Christ
at the right hand of God.
Jesus said, “Therefore I tell
you, do not worry about your
life, what you will eat or what
you will drink, or about your
body, what you will wear. Is not
life more than food, and the
body more than clothing?
Look at the birds of the air;
they neither sow nor reap nor

COVID-19 IMPACT - law enforcement

They put on the uniform
each day and head to the
“front lines” as they uphold
their pledge to “protect and
serve.”
The duties of law enforce-
ment officers are challeng-
ing, but coupled with the
COVID-19 outbreak they face
a new dynamic on the job.
The Advertiser reached out
to the Miller County Sheriff’s
Department and Eldon and
Iberia Police Departments
to identify precautions being
taken and policies that may
have been changed during
this crisis.
Sheriff’s Department
Miller County Sheriff’s De-
partment Detective Mike
Rayhart said the sheriff’s
office has taken recommen-
dations from the health de-
partment and CDC and has
implemented some changes
to safeguard the public, staff,
and the inmate population.
What changes in policy
has your district or agen-
cy implemented since the
start of the outbreak?
“The sheriff’s office is still
under normal operation and
answering every call with
deputy response,” Rayhart
said. “Deputies are being cau-
tious when answering calls
by practicing distancing and
good hygiene.”
Are there any particu-
lar precautions you are
taking to minimize expo-
sure and safeguard the
health of your person-
nel?
“Deputies are provided
masks and hand sanitizer
to carry with them and lim-
it the amount of human to
human contact they experi-
ence,” he said. “If someone is
arrested and officers suspect
the offender to be sick with
COVID-19, the offender is
confined in a solitary cell and
medically monitored.”
From a mental and
emotional standpoint,
how are crews coping
with this and what, if
any, support measures
are in place to help with
this?
“The stress of everyday
policing is compounded by
the worry that you may catch
something,” Rayhart not-
ed. “Deputies and staff keep
an open dialogue in order to
cope with the added stress
during this time and if nec-
essary provided confidential
counseling upon request.”
What message do you
have for members of the
public, in terms of assist-
ing in your efforts?
“The sheriff’s office urges
the public to take this virus
seriously,” he said. “Practice
social distancing, wash your
hands often, and care for your
neighbor. If you see someone
struggling and can provide a
moment of relief, please be
kind to your neighbor and be
that relief.”
What are some posi-
tive stories from your
interaction with people
during this time?
“Deputies always love to
interact with the public in a
positive way, and when we
are just having what seems
like a bad day, it’s nice to have
someone stop and check on
us for a change. The sheriff’s
office is very busy this time of
year and with the virus even
more so,” said Rayhart.
“While working, a deputy
had the unfortunate pleasure
of a flat tire. The officer pulled
to the side of the road and be-
gan the process of changing
it,” Rayhart added. “While
changing the tire that officer
was checked on by four dif-
ferent people just passing by,
and was even offered help
with the tire change. The
officer thanked each of the “There is fear of contract- ination. as a department, did not have

Missouri Gov. Mike Parson
said the timeline for the fu-
ture of coronavirus in Mis-
souri will be measured in
months, not days or weeks,
and it will put a strain on the
state’s people and economy.
“We’ve got a lot of days we’ve
gotta go through,” the gover-
nor said recently. “This is just
the beginning. We’re two or
three months, at a bare mini-
mum, that we’re going to have
to deal with this issue.”

manufacturing and custom-
er service associates for a
one-time appreciation bonus:

employees; $150 for part-
time, hourly employees.
For customers
• Encouraging custom-
ers and employees to follow
the CDC’s suggested hygiene
practices to reduce the spread
of the virus.
• Recommending custom-
ers also practice safe food
handling at home.
• Asking customers to be
patient, to be kind to one an-
other and our employees, and
to shop responsibly and pur-
chase what they need, know-
ing that store supplies are re-
plenished daily.
Employee wellness

der mandatory quarantine

cause of COVID-19.

receive their standard pay

demic and its effect on our

Having fact-based, reliable
reporting that provides pub-
lic scrutiny and oversight is
more important than ever.
Together, across the decades,
this newspaper and its read-

Working to take care of staff and customers:

They sew masks in between waiting on customers

Story and photo by
Tammy Witherspoon
Customers coming into the
Eldon Eagle Stop will notice
two things. The store is in-
credibly clean. Employees
take great pride in comply-
ing with health recommen-
dations. One of the delivery
guys told them he knew their
store would be the cleanest.
The second thing they will
notice is employees wearing
face masks. In between serv-
ing their customers, they also
have been sewing face masks.
The masks were the brain
child of Manager Natasha
Kelley, who wants to provide
masks to all the employees of
Eagle Stops around the area.
She watched a video to learn
how to make the masks.
“I was on vacation when
the news about the virus
was coming out. It kept get-
ting scarier and I started to
think of ways to keep my em-
ployees, our families and my
customers safe,” says Kelley.
“A lot of our regular custom-
ers are older and some of
our employee families have
health issues. The employees
at this store are family.
“Our company takes care of
us and we don’t see it as just
being our store, we are all in
it, so I wanted to be able to
provide masks to company
employees.
“A lot of people don’t realize
just how many customers we
are in contact with.
“Our smaller stores see ap-
proximately 250 customers
per shift and our larger stores
can see double that,” she ex-
plains.
Determined to keep themselves and their customers safe-Eldon Eagle Stop employee Tennille Peters (left) and Manager Kelley says she will con-
Natasha Kelley make face masks for Eagle Stop employees to help protect their customers and themselves. People have donated tinue to make the masks
masks and donated material to make masks. For a short video with Peters explaining how to make a mask out of a bandanna scan until her fingers fall off and
the VPI app with your smartphone. employee Tennille Peters
has joined her in making the
masks.
Her husband John actual-
ly brought some paint masks
in for Tennille and other em-
ployees. However, Tennille
said the masks weren’t flex-
ible and were hard to wear.
Kelley’s material masks were
much easier to wear.
Peters agreed with Kelley
for the need to protect their
families (John has a heart
condition) and their work
family.
Several of their customers
have provided assistance.
They have had customers do-
nate face masks. They have
also had customers donate
material to make the masks.
Peters smiles when she says
they can make bright, cheery
masks out of the material.
“We want to be happy even if
we are in a dark situation.”
Just a little
background information
Kelley has been Eagle Stop
in Eldon for four years, two
as assistant manager before
becoming manager two years
ago.
She is married to husband
Dean and has four children:
Keira, 13, Dylan, 12, Kayden
10, and Dominick, 7.
Peters has been with Ea-
gle Stop for five years. She is
married to husband John and
has three kids: Dearah, 14,
Darian, 21, and Omri, 11.
Final thought
As a final thought Kelley
says, “Making the masks is
time-consuming (and some-
times painful) but it is re-
warding when they are fin-
ished and you can give it to
someone and hopefully keep
them safe.”

Dish up homemade pizza anytime
Pizza is beloved across the
globe. The National Asso-
ciation of Pizza Operators
estimates that 350 slices of
pizza are consumed every
second in the United States.
In addition, 93 percent of
Americans eat pizza at least
once a month, says a Mintel
survey.
When it comes to pizza
toppings, some may argue
that plain cheese is best, but
pepperoni is a crowd favor-
ite. A Harris Poll from 2016
found that pepperoni was
the most popular topping,
followed by sausage.
Pepperoni pizza is spicy
enough to add some kick to
every slice. And while it’s
easy to order a pie from the
nearest pizza shop, it’s just
as simple to whip up pep-
peroni pizza on a whim right
at home with a quick recipe
like this one, courtesy of the
Pillsbury™ Kitchens.

Celebrate the ease of sandwiches

Sandwich, a go-to, lunch-
hour staple, was named for
John Montagu, the fourth
Earl of Sandwich. Lord
Sandwich was an 18th cen-
tury English aristocrat who
asked his valet to bring him
meat tucked between two
pieces of bread while Sand-
wich was embroiled in a
cribbage match he just had
to play through.
Even though Lord Sand-
wich wasn’t the first to en-
joy meat or cheese between
bread, he was the one to
help solidify the moniker
“sandwich.” Since then, all
types of sandwiches have
been designed and enjoyed,
and these portable meals
are a favorite for breakfast,
lunch and dinner. Enjoy

Trio earn all-state honors

A trio of local hoops stand-
outs earned one more post-sea-
son honor as the Missouri Bas-
ketball Coaches Association
released its all-state teams last
week.
In Class 1, St. Elizabeth’s
Ross Struemph earned the
honor for the second consecu-
tive year.
Struemph led the Hornets
to a 23-6 record and a sec-
ond-place finish at the MSH-
SAA Class 1 Championships
this season. He averaged 20.2
points and 9.5 rebounds per
game this season. He also
handed out 76 assists and
blocked 37 shots on the season.
The 6-6 senior forward also
surpassed the 2,000-point
mark in his career. He also
sank better than 70 percent of
his free throws.
Eugene’s Tre Kempker was a
selection for Class 2.
The 6-3 senior averaged 18.4
points and 9.6 rebounds per
game in leading the Eagles to
a 20-7 record this season and
a quarter-final berth in this
year’s MSHSAA playoffs.
Kempker also handed out
118 assists and recorded 49
steals this season.
He finishes his career as the
all-time leading scorer for the
Eagles with 1,677 points.
Iberia senior Zach Voss also
received all-state honors. He
averaged 19.9 points and 7.9
rebounds per game for the
Rangers, who finished with
a 22-5 record and a district
championship, as well as Fris-
co League regular season and
tournament championships.
Voss also handed out an av-
erage of 2.7 assists and had 2.4
steals per game. He also sank
nearly 85 percent of his free
throws during the season. Voss
also surpassed the 1,500-point
mark for his career during the
season.

Fishing permits waived

through April 15
The Missouri Department of
Conservation (MDC) and the
Missouri Conservation Com-
mission announced they have
temporarily waived permit
requirements for sport fishing
and daily trout tags for Missou-
ri residents and nonresidents
whose fishing privileges are
not otherwise suspended.
The waiver of needing a per-
mit or trout tag to fish began
Friday, March 27, and will run
through April 15. MDC will
reassess the situation at that
point. All season dates and
limits will continue to apply
and be enforced.
“The current public-health
emergency caused by the coro-
navirus (COVID-19) has many
Missourians and others look-
ing for safe ways to get outside
in nature,” said MDC Director
Sara Parker Pauley. “Missouri’s
rivers and streams offer high
quality fishing as a way for
people to connect with nature
while still complying with all
health and safety recommen-
dations. Fishing is also a great
way to get some much needed
physical and mental health
benefits during this stressful
time.”
Conservation makes Mis-
souri a great place to fish and
Missouri has more than a
million acres of surface water
with most of it providing great
fishing. More than 200 differ-
ent fish species are found in
Missouri, with more than 20
of them being game fish for the
state’s more than 1.1 million
anglers. Get more info on Mis-
souri fishing at huntfish.mdc.
mo.gov/fishing
Pauley added that it is still
critical for everyone to contin-
ue to heed all recommenda-
tions for hand washing, social
distancing, and other pub-
lic-health measures while fish-
ing and during other outdoor
activities, including maintain-
ing at least six feet of distance
between all individuals who
are not family members.

Tell us what’s going on. What are you

and your family doing to get through
the social distancing?

advertiser@vernonpublishing.com Sibling street ball – Sunday, March 29 was a bit too windy to fly a kite, but that didn’t stop sib-
lings Savanna Roller and Dakota Wilson-Holland from playing a game of street ball on Versailles
Avenue in Tuscumbia. (Photo by Connie Wyrick)

Follow these five steps every time.

1. Wet your hands with clean, running water (warm or cold),
turn off the tap, and apply soap.
2. Lather your hands by rubbing them together with the soap.
Lather the backs of your hands, between your fingers, and
under your nails.
3. Scrub your hands for at least 20 seconds. Need a timer?
Hum the “Happy Birthday” song from beginning to end
twice.
4. Rinse your hands well under clean, running water.
5. Dry your hands using a clean towel or air dry them.

Time for some yard work

Area residents have been firing up their lawn mowers and pulling
their rakes from the garage as the grass is growing and flow-
ers are blooming. Above, Gary Wolfe of Grand Avenue in Eldon
rakes some soil as he works in his landscape area. At right, Ran-
dy Blalock of Champain Street in Eldon mows his yard.

the lesson pickup process from Trisha Bennett and her daughter, Sabrina Ewen. The school has
set up a lesson plan pickup and dropoff at the school. For many students the lessons have been
provided online, however, for those who do not have Internet or printing capabilities, daily pickup
and dropoff is available. (Photo by Connie Wyrick)

HIGH POINT AREA NEWS

“A little bit of this and a little
bit of that.”
Since school won’t be opened
for awhile and church didn’t
have services not too much
news to tell about except for
things that will be happening
this summer and maybe some
memories along the way.
I will start with High Point.
We will be having a celebra-
tion during homecoming for
High Point being the oldest
town in Moniteu county 1854
(175 years) and the highest el-
evation of 904 feet, hence it’s
name.
Also in 1845 High Point was
the first general store, the first
school, the first post office and
Harrison township was estab-
lished.
In 1857 the Simpson Coal
mine opened. Over 100 fami-
lies lived at the mine.
In 1879 the best cannel coal
in the world. Steam engines
were used for power for the
mines.
A dance floor and horse rac-
ing track were built south of
the mine. The miners added
spice to Excelsior, High Point
and other surrounding towns.
Next week I’ll tell about the
200 years of High Point Baptist
Church.

FACT: The proposed bond election is to sell bonds to pay for upgrading the City’s wastewater treatment
facility and to repair and replace parts of the sewer system.
FACT: The City’s wastewater treatment facility is over 30 years old and the technology used is no longer

FACT: Part of the problem is also the old sewer system which is in need of major repairs and reconstruction.
FACT: Sometimes the sewers overflow from the manholes when we get heavy rains and this is a violation of
state and federal law.
INFORMATION: The proposed project is to build a new sewage treatment plant which will meet disinfection
limits, copper limits, and lower ammonia limits and can be retrofitted to meet future water quality limits for
nutrients. The collection system will be upgraded to eliminate sewer overflows.
FACT: The City is applying for a low interest loan and for grants to keep the project affordable.
FACT: If the bond issue does not pass, the City will lose their place in line to receive grants and subsidized
loans, forcing the City to make improvements without grants and with a higher interest rate loan and a higher
user charge-out rate.
FACT: The City is being forced to fix its wastewater system.

IF THE BOND ISSUE PASSES AND A LOW INTEREST LOAN AND GRANTS ARE OBTAINED, the estimated user
charge for the typical 5,000 gallon per month user is $60.98, which is an increase of about $26.46.

IF THE BOND ISSUE FAILS AND THE PROJECT IS FINANCED THROUGH BANKS, the estimated user charge for
the typical 5,000 gallon per month user is $112.56, which is an increase of about $78.04.

Local churches provide a light in the darkness

By Connie Wyrick
“It was the best of times, it
was the worst of times, it was
the age of wisdom, it was the
age of foolishness, it was the
epoch of belief, it was the ep-
och of incredulity, it was the
season of light, it was the sea-
son of darkness, it was the
spring of hope, it was the win-
ter of despair.”
Many will recognize these
opening lines from Charles
Dickens’ novel, “Tale of Two
Cities.” Now, as then, there are
two sides to a crisis. I would
like to flip the lines around . . .

God Is Faithful!
Sometimes life becomes difficult with it`s trials and temptations. It is
during these times doubts may arise, and our faith grow weak. While
God did not promise we would not have these times to go through,
he did leave us hope to hold on to with a precious promise in the
Epistle To The Hebrews. “...we have a great high priest, that is passed
into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.
For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the
feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we
are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of
grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of our
need. (Heb. 4:14,15,16).
“When in time of need we approach God’s throne in prayer, we
may rest assured he will send Grace running to meet us clothed with
a cloak of comfort and a bonnet of mercy; shoes dripping with the
fresh dew of God’s love, her arms outstretched to gently enfold us.
And, once again , we find that God is faithful. “

PAID OBITUARY
Dr. Ned Alan Hug
Dr. Ned Alan Hug, 80, passed away in his home in Jefferson
City on Sunday, March 29, 2020. He was born in Hermann,
Missouri on April 20, 1939, to Dr. Paul
W. and Marcella Ott Hug. The family re-
located to California, Missouri during his
childhood. After graduating from Califor-
nia High School he attended Central Meth-
odist College in Fayette. He completed his
Doctor of Chiropractic degree at the Palm-
er College of Chiropractic in Davenport
Iowa in 1963 as his father had before him
in 1923. He then returned to join his fa-
ther’s practice which had been established
when the family moved to California in the
1940’s. In 1995 he added a second office to his practice in Jef-
ferson City to further assist his surrounding communities in
living healthy lives.
Dr. Ned Hug is survived by his 5 children: Christopher Hug,
Orlando; Amy and Charles Pike, Lake of the Ozarks; Scott
Hug, New York; Carolyn and Coty Spraggs, Kansas City; and
Nikolas and Kayla Hug, Jefferson City; and by his 8 grandchil-
dren, Carissa and Seth Crooks, Amanda, Mackenzie, Abigail,
Barrett, Isabelle, Owen, and Akyra. He was preceded in death
by his brother, Dr. Reginald Hug of Birmingham, Alabama.
Dr. Hug was a member of the California United Methodist
Church, the International Chiropractic Association, the Amer-
ican Chiropractic Association, the Missouri Chiropractic Phy-
sicians Association, and the American Bonanza Society.
Dr. Hug dedicated over 55 years of his life to enhancing the
lives of others through chiropractic care and genuinely en-
joyed educating his patients on how to maintain good overall
health. Over the last three decades, he was supported in his
practice by Ms. Peggy Thompson.
His adventurous spirit led him to become a licensed pilot
and to explore the world with his children sharing in many
trips in the U.S. and abroad. Together they enjoyed his hobbies
of flying, skiing, swimming and his love of horses. His pres-
ence will be missed by all who knew and loved him.
The family will hold a memorial service in the summer.
Memorials may be given to Rock Island Village, c/o Windmill
Ridge Funeral Service, PO Box 443, California, MO 65018.

BLAINE’S BULLETIN
BY 3RD DIST. OF MO. U.S. REP. BLAINE LUETKEMEYER
There has been a lot of talk
about the CARES Act, the bill
was signed into law last week.
News about what is in it, or
not it, is coming at us 24 hours
a day. The headlines about
checks from the Treasury or
billions of dollars of loans to
businesses sheds some light on
what the new law entails, but
people I talk to here in Missou-
ri want to know: how does this
bill help your family and where
can you go to get real details -
real answers.
The IRS will be issuing Eco-
nomic Impact Payments in the
form of a check directly from
the U.S. Treasury Department
order to fight the spread. We
often think of “doctors” and
“first responders” as impene-
trable units we can count on to
protect us - and they do protect
us very well. But it’s important
to remember these are individ-
uals with families and friends,
and they are just as susceptible
as the rest of us. When they
go to work every day, they’re
not just putting themselves in
harm’s way, their families also
must face any ramifications.
Saying thank you isn’t enough,
but I hope we all take every op-
portunity that we can to do it.
Through the CARES Act,
Congress appropriated $27
Another option is the Pay-
check Protection Program,
which is designed to encourage
businesses – with 500 employ-
ees or less – to keep employees
on staff as Missouri contin-
ues to deal with coronavirus.
Eligible recipients can quali-
fy for loans up to $10 million
with payments deferred for
six months. Portions of the
loans used to cover payroll
and certain other expense can
also be completely forgiven in
order to keep businesses run-
ning and workers employed.
Applications for the Payment
Protection Program are being
accepted as of today, April 3rd

MILLER COUNTY HISTORY

to every American making un-
der $99,000 a year. Individu-
als who make under $75,000
will receive $1,200. Couples
who collectively make under
$150,000 will receive $2,400.
They will also receive $500 for
each dependent child in the
household. Individuals who
make between $75,000 and
$99,000 will also receive mon-
ey but the value declines as a
person’s income increases.
Most of you will not have
to do anything to receive the
check, as the IRS will direct-
ly deposit the check like they
would a tax return. If the IRS
does not have your direct de-
posit information, the Trea-
sury Department is building a
web-based system that should
be available soon for you to
provide that information to the
IRS. To make sure you quali-
fy or for more details visit the
IRS’s website at IRS.gov/coro-
navirus.
Another tool I wish the IRS
did not have to make avail-
able - but is unfortunately
necessary - is a page warning
of the scams criminals are
running to take advantage of
the current situation. Before
you sign up for anything, it
might be worth your time to
visit this page to keep your-
self safe from fraud: https://

While many people are ad-
hering to social distancing
guidelines, medical profes-
sionals and first responders
are standing steadily on the
billion for the purchase and
distribution of additional per-
sonal protection equipment,
often called PPE, as well as
the development of vaccines.
$100 billion will go to hospi-
tals and providers to aid in the
fight against coronavirus and
another $250 million is avail-
able for hospital preparedness
grants. And $4.3 billion in new
funding is going to the Centers
of Disease Control and Preven-
tion (CDC) for preparedness
and response efforts. The CDC
is working directly with states
to coordinate and aid in their
efforts on the ground.
Small businesses are the
number one job creator in
our nation and a major part
of the heart of Missouri Com-
munities. Because so many
Missourians work for small
businesses, the Small Business
Administration’s (SBA) loan
programs are going to be crit-
ical to our area. SBA is offering
multiple programs to assist
businesses that have been hit
hard by the economic down-
turn. Your local SBA office can
help you figure out which pro-
gram best suits your business
and can be found at sba.gov/
content/find-local-sba-office.
Details on all of the programs
can be found on their website:
https://www.sba.gov/corona-
virus
One available program is
for Economic Injury Disaster
Loans which are designed for
businesses that have suffered a
substantial economic loss and
need help with general oper-
ating expenses to weather the
storm. These loans can be up
to $2 million, with an advance
and can be found here:sba.gov/

uation, but America will come

BERNSKOETTER’S REPORT
BY 6TH SENATORIAL DISTRICT SEN. MIKE BERNSKOETTER
Stay At Home
At 5 p.m. on Saturday, March
28, a stay-at-home order went
into effect for Cole County. Is-
sued by the Cole County Health
Department, the stated goal of
the order is to help slow the
spread of the COVID-19 virus
in our community. This order
will stay in effect until 5 p.m.
on April 11, unless otherwise
extended or suspended. While
a stay-at-home order may
sound simple, I’m sure it still
raises questions about what
exactly it means for our day-
to-day lives. Does the stay-at-
home order mean stay in your
home and don’t go outside?
What about going to the gro-
cery store or going to the doc-
tor? Small business owners
may wonder how this could
affect their shops, too. Well, in
order to help, here’s some in-
formation from the Cole Coun-
ty Health Department.
The health department’s
order requires all individu-
als living in Cole County to
stay at their residence, unless
participating in essential ac-
tivities, essential government
functions or to operate essen-
tial businesses and operations.
For many of us, that means you
should stay at home as much
as possible, but you can still
go to the grocery store and
pharmacy; visit your doctor
if you’re sick or have an emer-
gency medical need; and help
take care of relatives in anoth-
er household. There are also
exemptions if your job or busi-
ness helps ensure the health
and safety of the community.
Additionally, the stay-at-
home order does not mean you
must stay inside your home
all day, every day. If you’re
interested in getting outside
for physical activity, you still
can. Under the order, all parks
and open outdoor recreation
areas are encouraged to stay
open. As a precaution against
COVID-19, however, all indoor
and outdoor playgrounds are
closed. If you do decide to visit
a local park, please be sure to
practice social distancing by
staying at least six-foot away
from others and avoiding large
groups.
Essential businesses are still
allowed to remain open under
the order. Those include health
care facilities, grocery stores,
gas stations, hardware stores
and laundromats. Under the
order, non-essential business-
es and operations must cease,
aside from minimum basic op-
erations. Restaurants and oth-
er food establishments are pro-
hibited from offering dine-in
services, but pickup, drive-th-
ru and delivery services are
still allowed. If possible, busi-
nesses are encouraged to have
employees work from home.
For additional details, I en-
courage you to visit the Cole
County Health Department’s
website or give them a call
at 573-636-2181. If you have
questions about COVID-19 in
Missouri, you can visit the Mis-
souri Department of Health
and Senior Services’ website
or call their 24-hour hotline at
877-435-8411.
Please feel free to contact my
office at (573) 751-2076. For in-
formation about my committee
assignments or sponsored leg-
islation, please visit my official
Missouri Senate website at sen-
ate.mo.gov/Bernskoetter.
BY GINNY DUFFIELD
Have you thanked your grocery
checker recently? Considered essential
employees, grocery store employees, gas sta-
tion employees, clerks at the pharmacy and a
host of other people are on the job. They are
more at risk of catching Covid 19 than those
of us who are staying home but I think most
are happy to still be employed and not laid
off. Still, they deserve thanks for remaining
on the front line.
And we can never give our doctors, nurses
and other employees in clinics and hospitals
enough thanks.
Gasoline prices are falling fast and appar-
ently some people are not staying home but
are out driving around the countryside for
a pastime. Nothing wrong with that though
they should not stop and roll down their win-
dow to talk to walkers like me. A wave is suf-
ficient and protects both of us from one an-
other’s germs. It also keeps my ill mannered
90-pounds each dogs from trying to scratch
the paint off your car because they love going
for rides and think a stopping vehicle wants
to give them one. When both of them excit-
edly head off in the same direction, they take
me with them.
Flowering trees really are starting to burst
into blossom, with wild plum and service ber-
ry nearly peaked late last week and redbuds
just about to burst into their purple glory at
that point. One of the prettiest drives in the
county can be along Charcoal Kiln Road to
Pear Orchard Road south of Iberia and then
ending up on Route K. Just don’t try to cross
Tavern Creek if it is flooding. The bluebells
and dogwoods usually put on quite a joint
show.
the Legislature could make the norm for at
least the rest of 2020 and perhaps through
2021.
Some states have extensive mail in vot-
ing. It can work. There is every reason in the
world not to try to cancel elections altogether.
Campaigns can be waged via the media and
the internet.
Americans managed to vote during the first
and second world wars. Americans managed
to vote during the Civil War when there was
a real danger in some areas that you could
get shot en route to the polling place. Be vig-
ilant. If an effort is made to stop elections for
our county, state and national leaders, throw
a public fit. Do not let politicians take away
your right to vote.
Voting this year will be hard but we must
not lose that right. There would be a real dan-
ger we would never get it back.
Legislatures and Congress also need
to find ways to meet and vote remotely. That
is not an impossible task but will require
changes in rules, laws and, in some instanc-
es, constitutions. The latter will require the
okay of voters. We cannot have our governing
bodies shut down by illnesses.
Again, I say testing for people who have de-
veloped antibodies to Covid 19 needs to start
on a wide scale so those who have what may
be permanent, or even just temporary, im-
munity can get back to work and restart the
economy.
Manufacturing IN THIS COUNTRY needs
to be geared up to supply all the protective
medical equipment we need along with such
things a ventilators, hypodermic needles,

Connecting local businesses with their community
“History in the making” I have heard that phrase more times than I care to the last few weeks.
We are navigating some unusual circumstances world wide. My oldest son and I had a conversa-
tion about all the shut downs, his concerns, his thoughts and our struggles. I commented that we
are all in the same boat, to which he replied, “that doesn’t really help anyone.” “We are in the same
boat” this expression refers to the risks shared by passengers in a small boat at sea.
I have yet to communicate with anyone that does not have a risk in this crisis. Whether it is
health or economics, everyone is at risk. In a boat, if it sinks, all the passengers sink together.
They have to be conscious of the waves, the risks and every action as a team in order to get the
boat to its destination and out of danger. Each community has a series of boats, the passengers are
the residents (of course), the churches, the schools and our businesses. Each one has to work in
motion as a team in order to move closer to shore. When one fails, we all are pushed a little farther
out to sea and have to work harder to reach our goal. Sometimes we have to pick up passengers
that have fallen off their boat and give them a ride until they build a new one. But, when one flour-
ishes, we all flourish and learn from one another. So again I say, we are all in the same boat- with
the same destination. I prefer it that way. I am in no way capable of maneuvering a boat, by myself,
in the sea and get anywhere safely or successfully. If I were in a boat, I have a list of preferred pas-
sengers. There would be a combination of those that could achieve goals physically and mentally,
accompanied by those with different skills, maybe not easily known. Why those that may not ever
contribute to the goal? We all have different strengths and ideas but mostly because we are all in

How to practice social distancing in a crowd

As COVID-19 continued
to spread across the world, it
quickly became evident that
the public would have to take
drastic measures to slow the
transmission. In addition to
practicing generalized sanita-
tion and good hygiene, people
in some of the hardest-hit clus-
ters were advised to take addi-
tional, more aggressive mea-
sures. Quarantines and travel
restrictions were implemented,
and the term “social distanc-
ing” became a buzzword.
Social distancing involves
people keeping a physical dis-
tance from each other during
disease outbreaks in order
to slow transmission rates.
Social distancing also is em-
ployed to lessen the impact of
the disease on the medical care
system, which quickly can be-
come overwhelmed with a high
number of cases presenting
in a short period of time. In
best-case scenarios, social dis-
tancing also may enable a few
people to avoid infection until
a vaccine is available.
So how can people social-
ly distance themselves? Here
are some of the recommenda-
tions from the Centers for Dis-
ease Control and Prevention,
the World Health Organiza-
tion and other leading health
groups.
• Opt out of group events.
Steer clear of events, whether
meetings, sports games, con-
ferences, and other gatherings
where large amounts of people
congregate together.
• Stick to non-contact greet-
ings. Avoid hugs, kisses and
handshakes. Substitute a es can encourage employees to
smile, a wave or a bumping of
elbows, instead.
• Practice remote learning.
Students who attend large
schools, such as high schools,
universities and colleges, can
continue their studies via re-
mote learning and virtual
classes instead of gathering in
classrooms.
• Work from home. Many
companies are now equipped
to allow employees to work
from home all the time or a
portion of the time. Business-
stay home and utilize the inter-
net to get their work done.
• Stagger commute times.
Commuters in urban areas can
consider staggering work hours
so that they help curb crowds
on public transportation.
• Alter shopping schedules.
Try to visit stores in the early
morning or late at night when
they are less likely to be crowd-
ed.
• Make changes in worship
practices. Celebrants may have
to make modifications to the
way they worship. The Catholic
Diocese of Trenton, NJ, recent-
ly advised all diocesan church-
es to halt the distribution of
the most precious blood (wine)
from communal chalices; en-
couraged clergy and eucharis-
tic ministers to sanitize their
hands before distributing the
eucharist; and parishioners to
avoid contact during the sign
of peace.
Common sense is key to stall
disease transmission, and so-
cial distancing can be an im-
portant public health measure.

facility and to repair and replace parts of the sewer system. (Next to The Family Center) (Across from the old Casey’s)
FACT: The City’s wastewater treatment facility is over 30 years old and the technology used is no longer Search Lloyd Camp 573-378-6769 573-392-1527
capable of meeting state and federal requirements for discharge of pollutants to the area streams.
FACT: The City’s wastewater treatment facility, on average, receives 30% more flow of wastewater than it was
designed to treat.
FACT: The wastewater treatment facility is over capacity which could result in a denial of all future building
permits.
FACT: The City is under a Schedule of Compliance from the Missouri Department of Natural Resources to
meet disinfection and copper limits before discharging wastewater into our receiving stream. The City is not
able to meet these discharge requirements and the City may face fines and possible litigation from the state.
FACT: The City has a Voluntary Compliance Agreement with the Missouri Department of Natural Resources to
eliminate the bypassing of wastewater flows from the peak flow clarifier into our receiving stream.
FACT: If the City is not able to meet anticipated future clean water requirements, the City may face fines and
possible litigation from the state. The fines may be up to $10,000 per day per violation.
FACT: Part of the problem is also the old sewer system which is in need of major repairs and reconstruction.
FACT: Sometimes the sewers overflow from the manholes when we get heavy rains and this is a violation of
state and federal law.
INFORMATION: The proposed project is to build a new sewage treatment plant which will meet disinfection
limits, copper limits, and lower ammonia limits and can be retrofitted to meet future water quality limits for
nutrients. The collection system will be upgraded to eliminate sewer overflows.
FACT: The City is applying for a low interest loan and for grants to keep the project affordable.
FACT: If the bond issue does not pass, the City will lose their place in line to receive grants and subsidized
loans, forcing the City to make improvements without grants and with a higher interest rate loan and a higher
user charge-out rate.
FACT: The City is being forced to fix its wastewater system.

IF THE BOND ISSUE PASSES AND A LOW INTEREST LOAN AND GRANTS ARE OBTAINED, the estimated user
charge for the typical 5,000 gallon per month user is $60.98, which is an increase of about $26.46.

IF THE BOND ISSUE FAILS AND THE PROJECT IS FINANCED THROUGH BANKS, the estimated user charge for
the typical 5,000 gallon per month user is $112.56, which is an increase of about $78.04.

OLEAN BAPTIST
CHURCH
By Lois Faulconer
Bob Hoskins, Pastor   ria in Iberia or Waynesville.
During this virus crisis we
can’t meet together but thanks
to technology we can still see
our church and other church
news. It’s not the same as being
together but is very good.
On Palm Sunday Brother Bob
sang two songs then preached
from Mark 14:12-50. This pas-
sage tells that it was the time of
Passover where the Jews would
kill the Passover lamb and pre-
pare the unleavened bread.
It tells of how Jesus’ disciples
went to Jerusalem to prepare
for the Passover feast, which
would be the last supper. At
the supper Jesus instituted the
ordinance of holy communion
and announced that one of his
12 disciples would betray him.
He also told Peter he would
deny him three times before
the rooster crowed the next
morning.
Later on in the passage,
Jesus took Peter, James and
John with him to the Garden
of Gethsemane, where Jesus
prayed fervently to God while
the disciples fell asleep. Jesus
was then betrayed by Judas
and taken away by soldiers
amidst a great multitude with
swords and clubs.
It was noted that church
members plan to read a chapter
of Proverbs through the month
of April.
CONCORD

Wanda and I pray you all
had a “Happy Palm Sunday!”
We’re going through “Holy
Week” including Good Friday
and Easter. We’re praying for
our Heavenly Father to bring
this horrible Corona Virus
Pandemic to an end and to heal
people throughout the world.
I personally thank you all for
responding to my “LIVE” mes-
sage on “Tried in Fire!” After
going through the Refiner’s
fire, we will be purified. God is
in full control and He is there
for each of us as we call on Him
for peace, comfort, and heal-
ing. It seems that Revelation
is being fulfilled in these trou-
bling times.
I’m humbled and honored
from the great response to my
LIVE message. There were 266
viewers plus many more from
the 24 shares and 66 positive
comments! Responses to the
LIVE message are continuing
from many states and foreign
countries. Praise God!
I am planning to have an-
other LIVE message for Easter
Sunday, April 12th at 10 a.m.
Wanda and I enjoyed watching

I really enjoyed inspiring
words of God and spiritual
messages posted on social me-
dia by Barbara Duncan, Ted
Helms, Sharon Luttrell, Rita
Pemberton, Pam Luttrell, Jer-
ry Strong and our daughters,

word of God is such a blessing
and encouragement during
these troubling times.
I’m really looking forward
to resuming church services
and being with our church
family and friends again. We
really appreciate our church
family and friends for mailing
tithes and offerings to Concord

IBERIA UNITED
METHODIST CHURCH
Tricia Quist, Pastor
As we look toward Easter
Sunday without a celebratory
service to look forward to, I
know I will miss the smiling
faces of my church family, and
especially the joyful hymns
that have lifted me up since
childhood.
So to feel closer to my tra-
ditions I spent time reading
the Easter morning accounts
in all four epistles. What I no-
ticed was that the details were
slightly different. Matthew
spoke of a mighty angel at the
entrance and the unconscious
guards strewn around. Mark
described a young man dressed
in white standing inside the
tomb, and the others said there
were two angels in white at the
tomb. The accounts differed
on whether Mary was alone
or with different companions,
who saw Jesus first, and who
told which disciples and when.
Like the witnesses in a TV
crime drama, each story has a
different perspective, but they
also have common elements of
truth.
The feelings of grief and
disbelief and joy are present
in each version and are emo-
tions we can all relate to. The
overwhelming sorrow of losing
their beloved friend, teacher,
and leader is an emotion we all
know. The incredible elation at
Jesus’ return-a chance to hear
his voice, see his face, touch
his hand just one more time-
is something we all wish for at
the loss of a loved one.
To me the most strikingly
relatable emotion is disbelief.
Mary couldn’t believe her eyes,
the disciples couldn’t believe
the women, they couldn’t be-
lieve each other’s stories or
their own eyes when Jesus ap-
peared, and Thomas was the
most famous non-believer of
the whole lot. (As Missourians
we can understand his show-
me attitude.) When something
too wonderful happens we are
all skeptics at first. We pray
and wait, we work and save, we
love and sacrifice, but when our
hopes are realized, our loved
ones are healed, our dreams
come true, or our kids make us
proud we say, “I can’t believe
it!”
My Easter prayer is that
more people find a way to just
BELIEVE! We have a Savior.
He rose from the dead. He gave
His mortal life so we might join
Him in paradise and have eter-
nal life. It’s incredible, but we
are Christians because we have
chosen to believe. We take it on
faith and treat is as fact.
Christ is risen! He is risen in-
deed!
May God lay a healing hand
on our nation and grant wis-
dom to our leaders, so that this
crisis passes soon, and we can
gather together again to give
thanks. May He strengthen
those who are ill, comfort those
who grieve, and give hope to
those who fear.

Kent Hutcherson, Pastor
by Rose Bond
Brother Kent Hutchinson
had a Palm Sunday service. He
said he would keep the church
open, but said that anyone that
did not want to attend church
to stay at home and pray for the
situation and our country and
our leaders and all the health
care workers and the coronavi-
rus victims and the families of
the ones that lost the battle.
Brother Kent Hutcherson
spoke of Palm Sunday and
how the people celebrated Je-
sus with laying palm branch-
es down for the donkey that
Jesus rode on his last days on
earth. Then Brother Kent read
John 12:12-36. He spoke of the
prophecies that are being ful-
filled. He spoke of Andrew, one
of the apostles, taking people
to Jesus to be healed and intro-
duced Jesus to other disciples
and that Andrew was the one
that took the 5 fish and 3 loaves
to Jesus to be distributed to the
5,000 people. Good message
Brother Kent.

Strategies to help
with remote learning
Amid concerns of coronavi-
rus clusters and efforts to stop
the spread of COVID-19, and
based on social distancing rec-
ommendations from medical
professionals, schools across
the country began to close
their doors and adopt a remote
learning model in March 2020.
One of the largest communi-
ties affected was New York City,
which closed schools across the
five boroughs. The New York
City school system is vast, with
1,800 schools servicing more
than one million students.
School administrators and
educators quickly scrambled to
find a workaround to meet chil-
dren’s educational needs.
Remote learning has been
a part of many school curric-
ulums for some time. While
remote learning had predomi-
nantly been reserved for high-
er learning institutions, in the
wake of the COVID-19 out-
break, it became a necessity for
grades K through 12 as well.
Teachers have had to design
curriculums and assignments
virtually on the fly in an at-
tempt to minimize disruptions
that could adversely affect stu-
dents.
Remote learning requires
the cooperation of school staff
and also parents and guard-
ians. Patience is necessary,
and parents and educators may
need to completely transform
their daily schedules.
The following tips can be an
asset as students continue to
navigate remote learning.
• Record class sessions.
Teachers can consider record-
ing or “going live” with class in-

struction so that students can
view the video and still have
access to their teachers.
This helps parents who may
be unfamiliar with explaining
the curriculum.
• Utilize chat features. Re-
mote education software pro-
grams likely have a chat or
“hangout” feature, which en-
ables classrooms to keep in
touch and ask questions in real
time.
• Keep a schedule. It’s easy to
begin to sleep late and fall out
of routine when not required to
go to a school building. Fami-
lies should make scheduling a
priority, which can help stu-
dents stay on top of lessons and
complete their assignments on
time.
• Ask questions. Everyone is
learning as they go, and fur-
ther clarification may be need-
ed. Students should email or
chat with teachers if they don’t
understand an assignment or
are unsure about instructions.
Teachers may be able to clearly
model a math problem or ex-
plain a concept via video chat
for students who need help.
• Explore educational op-
tions. Many companies are
offering free educational ser-
vices while kids are home from
school. Scholastic.com is offer-
ing online courses, Nat Geo for
Kids, Fun Brain, PBS Kids, and
Highlight Kids are other plac-
es to turn to for activities.
Remote learning has become
the new norm as the world con-
tinues to navigate COVID-19
in an effort to keep the public
safe.

COVID-19, the novel coro-

a pandemic by the World
Health Organization in mid-
March 2020, has claimed
thousands of lives across the
globe. Though the WHO in-
sisted during a press briefing

Tedros Adhanom Ghebreye-
sus described what he felt
were “alarming levels of inac-
tion” in regard to preventing
the spread of COVID-19.
Understanding COVID-19,
including the threat it poses
and how it’s transmitted, is of
the utmost importance. Ac-
cording to the Centers for Dis-
ease Control and Prevention,
there is still much to learn
about COVID-19, including
how it spreads. However, the
CDC notes the following are
some ways that researchers,
as of March 2020, feel that
the virus is transmitted.
Researchers who have
studied the virus feel that it
is spread mainly from per-
son-to-person. People who
are within six feet of one an-
other may spread the virus
through respiratory droplets
produced when an infected
person coughs or sneezes.
These droplets can land in
the mouths or noses of those
who are nearby or potentially
be inhaled into the lungs.
The CDC notes that the vi-
rus is contagious, and that
people might be most con-
tagious when they are at
their sickest. Symptoms of
COVID-19 include difficul-
ty breathing or shortness of
breath, persistent pain or
pressure in the chest, new
confusion or inability to
arouse, and bluish lips or face.
Additional symptoms may be
associated with COVID-19 as
researchers learn more about
the virus, and people who ex-
perience anything unusual
should discuss their condi-
tion with a physician imme-
diately.
Researchers also suspect
that the virus may be spread-
ing through people who are
asymptomatic. So even peo-
ple who do not feel sick or
exhibit signs of sickness may
unknowingly have the virus,

Heroes of the Highway

By Tim Flora
They log long miles behind the
wheel and traverse this country to
keep the supply chain going. They
are the “Heroes of the Highway.”
Eldon is blessed to have four
trucking companies located here,
each of which face the challenges of
today head-on as they provide for
the needs of Americans in cities big
and small.
As we all face the changing dy-
namics brought on by the COVID-19
pandemic, it’s business as usual for
these road warriors.
The Advertiser reached out
to officials from U.S. Machinery
Moving, Opies Transport, Eldon
Freightways and S&S Transport for
the stories from behind the wheel.

Lloyd Blake from Eldon
Freightways noted that the compa-
ny hauls a variety of goods.
“We are a dry van company, and
I have hauled everything from cus-
tom doors to automotive goods, or-
anges and toilet paper! If it can be
hauled in a dry van trailer, we haul
it,” Blake said.
He said Eldon drivers are home

haul is about 600 miles a day. He
added that total miles depends on
the time of year and the freight
availability.
“We are mostly a regional compa-
ny and run Midwest and occasion-
ally further runs,” he noted.
As for the impact of COVID-19 on
business, he said deliveries haven’t
really changed, but the wait times
at the shippers and receivers are
longer due to the influx of loads.
“Even with the hours of service
being lifted for essential loads, a
driver usually has to wait to be
unloaded once arriving, due to the
receiver having an influx of deliver-
ies,” Blake added.
As for being a key part of keeping
the American supply chain going,
Blake said it makes him feel good
knowing that people are seeing just
how important trucks are.
“I have had the ‘servant’ mental-
ity for years,” Blake noted. “I have
always tried to go over and beyond
what is expected of me. I just hope
when this is all over we are not
forgotten, as we have seen with so
many other ‘heroes.’”
As for life over the road, Blake
said the most memorable times for
him was back when his dad would
ride with him and they traveled ev-
ery state except Hawaii and Alaska.
“More recent, I guess the best
days are when that car passes and
kids still want to hear the air horn,”

Blake said. “Or just last week I had
some kids hold up a sign that said
thanks trucker!”
“If I could say something to the
general public it would be this . . .
we are human just like you, we are
moms dads, brothers and sisters.
Don’t forget us when this is over
because we did not forget you when
you needed us the most.”
S&S Transport
Shawn Dworaczyk of S&S
Transport noted changes in his
operations starting this week due
to the closure of businesses, facto-
ries and dealerships due to stay-at-
home orders and social distancing
guidelines.
“Our freight has slowed down tre-
mendously,” Dworaczyk explained.
“So instead of our trucks not being
able to get full loads of freight with-
out driving all over the country to
get loaded, then unloaded, we will
be bringing half of our fleet off the
road for 7-10 days, then rotating the
drivers back in when the 7-10 days
are up.”
He emphasized that all of the
company drivers will receive full
pay, regardless if they make it or
not, and if they happen to do more
than their average pay they will get
the greater amount.
“I have also lowered the number
of office and shop staff during this
period so we can have less exposure
to COVID-19. I am hoping for the
stimulus bill to help out on some
of the costs incurred from the PPP
program,” he added. “We are still
waiting for approval on our appli-
cation.”
He said regardless of whether or
not they get the stimulus money his
entire staff would be taken care of.
“We expect by the end of April
the factories and businesses will
start opening back up and we can
start recovering from this pandem-
ic,” Dworaczyk added.
He said some good things his
drivers have mentioned is that ev-
eryone always talks about how the
big trucks cause accidents and have

lic who are traveling the roadways.
Well now that the majority of the
country is on stay-at-home orders
from the government, the roads are
not congested with vehicles and the
drivers love the rush hours with
no traffic, so they are able to make
their scheduled pickup and deliver
times.
Dworaczyk added that his drivers
are stocking up at grocery stores
and truck stops with food and
drinks so they don’t have to deal

COVID-19 causes travel restrictions Athletico

The global travel industry
has been in turmoil since the
outbreak of the novel corona-
virus COVID-19 in December
2019. Many would-be travel-
ers, including business travel-
ers and vacationers, canceled
previously planned trips or
delayed future travel plans
in the hopes of reducing their
risk of catching a virus that
CNN estimated had claimed
more than 4,000 lives across
the globe between December
2019 and mid-March 2020.
According to estimates
from the Global Business
Travel Association, busi-
ness travel revenue loss to-
taled $820 billion across the
globe through the first week
of March 2020. The Interna-
tional Air Transport Associ-
ation estimated that global
airlines stood to lose $113
billion in sales if the corona-
virus continued to spread, a
decline in sales that the in-
dustry has not experienced
since the global financial cri-
sis of 2008. That loss in reve-
nue has led many airlines and
cruise lines to decrease pric-
es in an effort to entice more
people to travel. However,
the Centers for Disease Con-
trol and Prevention note that
travel could be dangerous,
particularly for people with
underlying health conditions
who intend to take cruises. As
of March 2020, the CDC was
recommending that travelers
who fit that criteria defer all
cruise ship travel. Cruises
place vast numbers of people
in frequent and close contact
2X2s for April 5, 2020 (all statewides unless noted)
with each other, conditions
that can promote the spread
of respiratory viruses like
COVID-19. The CDC notes
that, due to the way air is cir-
culated and filtered on air-
planes, most viruses and oth-
er germs do not easily spread
on airplanes. However, those
who want to err on the side of
caution should discuss travel
with their physicians, includ-
ing whether or not it’s bene-
ficial to delay unnecessary
travel plans until the threat
of COVID-19 is minimized.

Saying goodbye
By Connie Wyrick
This past month, I have
had to say goodbye to several
close friends and community
members. Each one touched
my life in ways known only
to me.
Both Doris Wyrick and
Barbara Shelton were strong,
gentle and kind Christian
women. I watched Doris help
out so many others while she
herself was a resident at the
care center. If there was any
event going on at the nursing
home, it was Doris that en-
couraged others to be a part.
She checked on many of the
residents on a daily basis. My
grandchildren over the years
visited Aunt Doris and it al-
ways amazed me how special
she made each of them feel.
Barb was such an integral
part of our church family. She
made everyone feel loved.
Her touch will be missed.

Barb lived her life serving
others. She cared, genuinely
cared deeply for friends and
family. I saw and felt her love
first-hand.
Barbara was my mom’s
classmate in school. That
friendship lasted a lifetime.
She was there for mom and
the rest of our family for over
four years while mom battled
Alzheimer’s Disease.
Every week she would
bring by a sweet treat, and
my mom loved sweet treats!
More importantly, she would
take the time to come in and
visit. I truly believe that mom
remembered Barb up until
the end.
It was hard saying goodbye
to both Doris and Barbara,
but at least I was able to show
my respect for them to the
family at the funeral.
Now that COVID -19 is a
new part of life, saying good-
bye has changed. Until last
week, I didn’t really grasp
how differently goodbyes
would be.
Carl McDonald, longtime
family friend, died last week
at St. Mary’s Hospital in Jef-
ferson City. I had just visited
with him a few weeks earlier
at church.
Carl was one of several Tus-
cumbia residents that would
turn 90 this year. (I have kind
of kept track, because my dad
and mother-in-law both turn
90 this year. For example,
this month, both Bob Wyrick
and Delores Roark will turn
90).
Things were different,
however, with Carl’s passing.
There could be no funer-
al, due to social distancing,
and only 10 family members
could directly attend the pri-
vate graveside service.
At first, this really bothered
me and then, I found myself
thinking . . . What does say-
ing goodbye really mean?
This past Saturday morn-
ing, in the comfort of my
home, I was able to begin my
goodbye in a very personal
way.
I pulled up pictures of
Carl from the past. Each one
brought another memory
sharply into focus. Carl was
there when I was a little girl,
smiling at my antics. He and
his family were there when
we moved to Arizona. I was
just in upper elementary
school then. I liked Arizona,
but it was never home.
One summer, the McDon-
alds came for a visit. What a
wonderful time it was to have
a piece of home come visit us!
When we moved back to
Tuscumbia, Carl and Maxine
were once again in our lives.
It was their house that I ran

I was always intrigued that
someone who worked for the
FBI lived in Tuscumbia. I
grew up reading Nancy Drew
and the Hardy Boys, as well
as watching Get Smart and
James Bond. I really couldn’t
tell you what his role at the
FBI was, but to a young girl’s
imagination it had to be Se-
cret Service work.
Mild mannered Carl was, in
my mind, 007. At some point
in the late 70s Carl and Max-
ine moved to Jefferson City.
Throughout the early years
of my marriage and teaching
career I would receive letters
of encouragement - “Congrat-
ulations on the new baby!” or
a “We are proud of the work
that you are doing with your
students.”

There’s a new doctor in Tuscumbia

by Connie Wyrick
There’s a new doctor in Tus-
cumbia and his office is at the
school.
This past week, William
Woods University, bestowed a
doctorate of education degree
on Tuscumbia School Superin-
tendent Jason Price.
Dr. Price completed his un-
dergraduate work at Northwest
Missouri State University in
Maryville and obtained his ed-
ucation specialist degree from
the University of Central Mis-
souri in Warrensburg.
The road to his doctorate
degree has been challenging.
Finding time for work, family
and studying has been a jug-
gling act. Not only does Price
have the full-time job as su-
perintendent of schools at Tus-
cumbia, he also has the respon-
sibilities of a young family.
In addition to his wife,
Robyn, he has four sons: 11-
year old twins, Brody and
Jayce; 7-year-old Gage and
18-month-old Myer.
The educational journey has
taken almost three years. Ini-
tially, 18 months of coursework
had to be completed, which
involved him traveling once a
week after work to Jefferson
City for class, from 6 to 9 p.m.
Weekends were also spent
studying. Then once the
coursework was completed, the
process of conducting research
for his doctoral dissertation
began. This process consisted
of 16 months of field work.
Price decided to investigate
the relationship between char-
acter education programs and
student achievement, looking
at 560 public schools in Mis-
souri.
The schools were classified
according to the following cri-
teria: whether or not they uti-
lized the Character Plus cur-
riculum, district enrollment
numbers, and socioeconomic
status.
He also looked at data from
eighth grade MAP testing in
both language arts and math-
ematics over a three-year time
period.
Price discovered that in large
districts (those with more than
500 students enrolled), a char-
acter education curriculum
seemed to impact student per-
formance in the language arts
component of the eighth grade
MAP test. The results were sta-
tistically significant.
He did not find the same cor-
relation in smaller school dis-
tricts, or in the area of mathe-
matics.
Price defended his doctoral
dissertation via online video
conferencing this past week,
but due to current circum-
stances, there will be no grad-
uation ceremony.
When asked about his plans
for the future, Price said he
will continue his duties as su-
Dr. Jason Price
perintendent of schools at Tus-
cumbia for now.
Eventually, he would like to
help develop teacher/educator
preparatory programs within a
university system.
Patrol extends
suspension of testing,
inspections
The Missouri State Highway Patrol is extending statewide
suspension of all written and skills-based driver road testing,
salvage inspections and bus inspections throughout the state
until April 15.
According to Colonel Eric T. Olson, superintendent of the
Missouri State Highway Patrol this includes operator, com-
mercial driver license and motorcycle testing.
In addition, the patrol is extending the suspension of all
salvage inspections at all locations and all bus inspections
until April 15. This does not affect local businesses that are
the providers of safety and emission inspections for the pub-
lic and may continue to be open for services depending on
their circumstances.
The patrol is monitoring the status of the COVID-19 pan-
demic and will update the public on testing and inspections
as more information becomes available.

Amid COVID-19 crisis, OATS limited to essential transportation

OATS Transit, which recent-
ly restricted operations to es-
sential service transportation
only, has not set a date to re-
turn to normal operations.
We will do so when it is safe,
as determined by government
officials and the Center for Dis-
ease Control.
OATS officials say their num-
ber one priority is making sure
its drivers and riders are safe
and stay healthy, before re-
turning to regular service.
Essential service transpor-
tation is defined as dialysis,
doctor appointments, grocery
shopping, food banks, etc.
“This is a difficult decision,
and one we are not taking light-
ly,” said Dorothy Yeager, execu-
tive director. “But it is the right
thing to do during this national
crisis. Individuals who are sick
should stay home.”
Several measures have also
been put in place to ensure the
safety of everyone on board the
buses:
• Drivers are doing routine
cleaning and disinfecting on
the buses throughout the day,
and cleaning surfaces that rid-
ers may come in contact with.
• The number of people on
each bus will be limited to en-
sure safe distances for riders
and drivers.
• Non-essential appoint-
ments should be delayed, if
possible, to limit exposure.
•  During the COVID-19 cri-
sis, riders should expect driv-
ers to refrain from touching
any personal belongings and
packages. We ask riders to be
understanding and prepared
for this adjustment to the nor-
mal routine.
A number of partnering
agencies have already closed,
or cut back, operations such as
nursing homes, senior centers,
workshops and day programs.
This has dramatically reduced
ridership and helps lessen the
spread of germs.
The safety of the public and
OATS Transit employees is our
top priority. We will continue
to keep everyone updated on
our website and social media.

Enjoy hot cross buns this Easter
A number of foods are en-
joyed during Easter celebra-
tions, from hard-boiled eggs
to ham to roasted lamb.
Sweets such as candies and
chocolates also take center
stage on Easter Sunday. In
addition to these tradition-
al favorites, hot cross buns
have become must-haves for
many Easter celebrants.
Hot cross buns are yeast-
based sweet buns that are
lightly spiced and studded
with raisins or currants.
The tops are marked with a
cross that is often piped with
icing. While there’s no clear
explanation of how hot cross
buns came to be, there are
indications that they once
were reserved only for Good
Friday.
Others say they were con-
sumed throughout Lent. The
cross is a Christian symbol
of the crucifixion and Christ
himself.
Hot cross buns are soft and
sweet, and they’re easily cre-
ated. Enjoy this recipe, cour-
tesy of King Arthur Flour.

On the community frontline:
Postal workers still on the job delivering communication and goods
Story and photos by
Tammy Witherspoon
Eldon Postmaster Justin
Drone oversees an office that
has 20 carriers and 14 routes.
His main concern right now
is keeping his people safe and
getting the job done.
Drone said the post office is
following the guidelines from
the Centers for Disease Con-
trol. “The safety of the carriers
is our number one concern,”
says Drone. “The postal service
has been very good about get-
ting us the resources we need
to stay safe.
Each carrier is provided
hand sanitizer. They also have
sneeze guards and there are
taped lines in the post office to
demonstrate the six-feet barri-
er.
Drone says rural carriers
also have to mindful of their
circumstances when people
come to their car windows.
Another precaution the post
office is taking is with deliver-
ies. Instead of having custom-
ers sign for packages, the carri-
er will ask for a first initial and
last name through the screen
door. The carrier will then sign
C19 after the signature.
Drone says he is proud of his
carriers for stepping up to the
plate and getting the job done.
“Our carriers always check
up on the elderly, now with
safety restrictions. The rural
carriers pay attention to what
is going on on their routes.
“There has been no talk of
limiting hours. We are going to

stay open and keep making de-
liveries. We are providing some
sense of normalcy,” explains
Drone.
There are ways the commu-
nity can help can keep postal
employees safe. Wipe down
mailboxes before and after
mail delivery. Be mindful of so-
cial distancing. The public can
still have contact but follow the
social distancing guidelines.
Asked if there is one thing
he would like people to know
about postal workers, Drone
says, “Our workers are out on
the frontline delivering mail
and retail. I couldn’t be more
proud of them. They are the
real heroes of the communi-
ty and they have been doing a
great job.
“They’ve really stepped up
and even come to work with a
smile on their faces.
“We will continue to work
through this.”
Information about
the Eldon postmaster
Drone has been the post-
master at Eldon since 2017, but
he was a traveling postmaster
until October of last year when
he became full-time at Eldon.
Drone comes from a postal
family. His father is a postmas-
ter and his wife Krystal is the
postmaster in Jefferson City.
He and Krystal have twin,
eight month old sons Kolten
and Klayton; and Done has
stepchildren Alexis, 14, and
Zachery, 12.
Drone started his career as a
clerk in Harrisburg, Ill. before
becoming a supervisor in Mur-
physboro, II.
He has served as postmaster
in Wright City and Mexico be-
fore becoming the postmaster
in Eldon.
Information from the
United States Postal
Service as of April 2
The United States Postal Ser-
vice is proud of the work our
more than 600,000 employees
play in processing, transport-
ing, and delivering mail and
packages for the American
public.
We provide a vital public
service that is a part of this
nation’s critical infrastruc-
ture. The Postal Service has a
dedicated Coronavirus Disease
2019 (COVID-19) Command
Response leadership team that
is focusing on employee and
customer safety in conjunction
with operational and business
continuity during this unprec-
edented epidemic.
We continue to follow the
strategies and measures rec-
ommended by the Centers for
Disease Control and Preven-
tion (CDC) and public health
departments. The CDC has in-
formation available on its web-
site at https://www.coronavi-
rus.gov that provides the latest
information about COVID-19.
To reduce health risks for
our employees and customers
and to safeguard our opera-
tional and business continuity,
the Postal Service is doing the
following:
Ensuring millions of masks,
gloves and cleaning and san-
itizing product are available
and distributed to more than
30,000 locations every day
through our Postal Service
supply chain.
We also have opened up lo-
cal purchasing authorities and
sourcing options so that our
employees can access addition-
al supplies within the commu-
nities they serve. We have ex-
panded our national sourcing
of supplies and services to en-
sure that increasing demands
are met.
Reinforcing workplace be-
haviors to ensure that contact
among our employees and with
our customers reflects the best
guidance regarding healthy in-
teractions, social distancing,
and risk minimization. We
have implemented measures
at retail facilities and mail
processing facilities to ensure
appropriate social distancing,
including through signage,
floor tape, and “cough/sneeze”
barriers. We have changed de-
livery procedures to eliminate
the requirement that custom-
ers sign our Mobile Delivery
Devices for delivery.
For increased safety, em-
ployees will politely ask the

Exceeding expectations
Former EHS standout wraps up college hoops career
Her college career ended far short
of what she had hoped, but former El-
don High School standout Sara Rhine
said her college basketball career at
Drake University exceeded her ex-
pectations.
“I just wanted to be a part of a team
that became a family” she said. “The
people I met here and the friendships
I have made, I couldn’t be any happi-
er.”
The 2015 graduate of EHS, Rhine
re-wrote the record books, setting the
all time EHS records for scoring, re-
bounding and free-throw percentage.
She chose Drake, located in Des
Moines Iowa, because of its small-
er size. Being a small-town girl, she
thought it size and academic reputa-
tion would fit her well.
She certainly felt right at home.
Both at the university and on the bas-
ketball team.
Her list of accomplishments at
Drake is nearly as long as her list from
high school.
She made an immediate impact on
her team during her freshman sea-
son, earning Missouri Valley Con-
ference (MVC) freshman of the year
honors, the sixth-player of the year,
as well as being an all-MVC honor-
able mention. That season, the Lady
Bulldogs finished 23-10 and advanced
to the second round of the Women’s
National Invitational Tournament.
Sophomore troubles
After her successful freshman cam-
paign, Rhine looked poised to break
out in her sophomore season.
However, a foot injury sustained
early on held her to just playing eight
games before she decided to take a
medical red-shirt season. Taking a
red-shirt season means a player can
still practice and receive treatment
for an injury, remain on scholar-
ship and that season does not count
against her four years of eligibility.
“It was definitely not in my ‘Plan
A’ to have to red-shirt my sophomore
year,” Rhine said.
But she used the year off to improve
her game from a mental stand point.
“I learned and grew so much during
that time,” she said. “I learned how to
become a better communicator and
saw the game from a whole different
perspective since I wasn’t able to be
on the floor playing. I gained a whole
new respect for the game of basket-
ball, my teammates and my coaches.”

Trip to Italy
The summer before her sophomore
season, Rhine, and her teammates
went to Italy for 10 days.
While there, the team visited Rome,
Vatican City, Venice, San Marino,
Florence and Lake Como. The team
also got in a little basketball, though
Rhine’s injury kept her out of action.
Still, she enjoyed the trip .
“Even without being able to play,
traveling abroad was such a neat ex-
perience,” she said. “That was my first
time out of the country and I loved be-
ing able to experience and learn about
a new culture that was different from
my own. I must say that eating gelato
every day was a highlight for sure!”
While Italy’s famous frozen treat
was her highlight, she also enjoyed
Rome and Lake Como.
“I really liked Rome because I was
able to see a lot of historical struc-
tures, particularly the Colosseum,”
she said. Growing up, I always loved
learning about ancient Rome so it
was surreal to be able to go to the
Colosseum in person. I also really en-
joyed Come because the city and Lake
Como were so beautiful.
Bouncing back
After recovering from her inju-
ry and getting back onto the court,
Rhine picked up right where she left
off.
Rhine bounced back, earning
sixth-player of the year honors again,
as well as making the all-MVC first
team. She also earned MVC Player
of the Week honors twice during the
season.
The Lady Bulldogs finished the sea-
son with a 26-8 record.
Junior season
Heading into her red-shirt junior
season, Rhine was inserted into the
starting line-up.
Rhine’s first three weeks of the
season would have made even the
greatest of players envious as she was
named MVC Player of the Week each
week, something that had not been
done since her then teammate, Lizzy
Wendell did it in 2016-2017. She man-
aged to win that award a total of six
times.
Rhine had an outstanding season
in helping the Lady Bulldogs to 27-7
record and the MVC regular season
championship.
The Lady Bulldogs would received
an at-large bid to the NCAA Women’s
Tournament, their first-round game
was against the University of Missou-
ri.
The Lady Bulldogs would come oh
so close to pulling off the upset, be-
fore losing 76-75 in overtime.
She would go on to be an all-MVC
first team selection and she was
named to the MVC all-tournament
team.
Senior season
Since she took a medical red-shirt
season, Rhine had one more year of
eligibility left. She decided to stay at
Drake and take part in the school’s
masters degree program in counsel-
ing.
That enabled her to stay in a place
she loves.
The season went along quite well,
as she earned MVC Player of the Week
honors three more times.
Rhine also made history as she be-
came just the fifth player in school
history to surpass the 2,000-point
mark in a win over Valporaiso.
She helped lead her team to a 22-8
record and they were seeded second
in the MVC Tournament, which was
scheduled to begin March 13, in Mo-
line, Ill.

enchanted rose in Beauty and the Beast.
Here to help you anyway we can.
The Lady Bulldogs were on their
way to Moline when they got the
call that the tournament had been
canceled due to concerns over the
COVID-19 virus.
“It was awful getting that news,”
she said. “There was a tremendous
sadness for me individually, but also
for our team. I think we all took it su-
per hard. I started crying.”
With the team’s record and their
strong non-conference schedule, the
Lady Bulldogs were all but a lock to
get into the NCAA Women’s Tourna-
ment.
“We still held a sliver of a hope that
the National Tournament would still
go on,” Rhine said.
Unfortunately, that tournament
was also canceled and her career was
over.
The honors c0ntinued however, as
she was named to the all-MVC team
for third straight season. She was also
a finalist for both the Katrina McClain
Award (Nation’s best power forward)
and a semi-finalist Becky Hammon
mid-major player-of-the-year award.
Not just athletics
Rhine’s accomplishments are not
limited to the basketball court. She
has also been a standout in the class-
room.
Rhine has been named the MVC’s
Scholar-Athlete of the Year on three I love this place - Former Eldon High School standout Sara Rhine ad-

mation Directors of America) all-dis-
trict team for the past two seasons
and she was named to the MVC Elite
17 squad for the past two seasons.
As a student, Rhine maintained a
4.0 grade-point average throughout
her four years an undergrad with a
major in elementary education. She
continued her 4.0 GPA during her
year as a graduate student.
Drake University also has reputa-
tion for being active in community
service.
Rhine’s favorites were Meals from
the heartland and Habitat for Hu-
manity.
“I loved being able to help families
in the community by participating in
these events,” she said.
Even while performing service,
Rhine’s competitive streak was still
on.
‘Getting to do Meals from the
Heartland was always fun because we
would make it into a little team com-
petition and see who could pack the
most meals the fastest,” she said.
Up next
Rhine does have plans to play pro-
fessionally. She is currently in the
process of choosing an agent to look
for a place to play, probably overseas.
“It is amazing the number of oppor-
tunities there are to play overseas,”
she said. A great career - Former Eldon standout Sara Rhine was a three-time all-

cation. Both of her parents were long-
time educators.
“The apple doesn’t fall far form the
tree,” she said. “After I am done play-
ing I will probably be teaching some-
where.”
Finally
Even though Rhine is winding up
her college studies by taking on-line
classes while staying in her off-cam-
pus apartment, she still views her ex-
perience as a positive one.
I love Des Moines and I love my
school,” she said. “The people here
have made it so special. Our fans are
the best and one of my favorite things
was to interact with them after the
games.” Senior day - Former Eldon standout Sara Rhine (50) poses with her fel-

It’s hard to keep a good man
down
“The wages of sin is death,
but the free gift of God is eter-
nal life in Jesus Christ our
Lord.” - Rom. 6:23.
Because we live in a fall-
en and broken world, sin and
death are realities that we
all have to face. “Prepare to
meet your maker” is not just a
phrase used in times of crisis
by street preachers and end
times prophets. It’s actually
what we should be thinking
about every day of our lives.
The only hope any of us have
in the face of sin and death is
faith in Jesus Christ alone.
The reality of the situation is
that death is not our friend. It
is the enemy of God’s people.
It is not a natural part of life.

It’s not the way it was meant
to be. God hates death - which
is why Jesus had to come and
conquer death and the grave
by His own death and resur-
rection.
In John chapter 11, Jesus
was late for a funeral, or so it
seemed. His friend Lazarus
was dead. Four days dead.
That’s not mostly dead - that’s
all dead. The grave had been
shut. Death had closed its
mouth and had that smug,
awful, evil grin on its face. But
when Jesus arrived, his pres-
ence and his promise began
to wipe the grin off of Death’s
face.

Life in Christ
rection of Jesus Christ is the
very essence of the Gospel. It
is the good news that sin and
death do not win. The reason
we celebrate Easter is for the
simple fact that our Savior
lives! The leader or originator
of every other religion is dead,
buried and still remains buried
except Jesus, the one and only
Son of God.
His resurrection is the tes-
timony that what He said and
who He claimed to be was
truth and it is the hope we have
that we can experience new
life in Him today. This is what
it means to be born again…to
be resurrected ourselves!

In spite of all their human

ta tell you, it sort of makes
me feel warm and fuzzy all
over.
I think sweet treats are one
of God’s blessings. They
should make us feel happy
and good and positive. They
put smiles on children’s (and
adults) faces. God wants
us to feel those things. We
are made to experience joy,
and laughter. Life should be
fun. Church should be fun.
Church should be joy. Easter
should be the most joyous
time of all the year.
Easter is the time when
we celebrate the power of
God to do anything, even
the seemingly impossible.
Before Jesus entered the
picture, death was it. There
was no coming back from it.
But after Jesus came, did the
amazing things He did in life,
and ultimately conquered

it changed everything. There

scripture to help put into con-

to share today.
1 Kings 19:9-18 ESV
There he came (Elijah) to
a cave and lodged in it. And
behold, the word of the Lord
came to him, and he said
to him, “What are you do-
ing here, Elijah?” He said, “I
have been very jealous for the
Lord, the God of hosts.
For the people of Israel
have forsaken your covenant,
thrown down your altars, and
killed your prophets with the
sword, and I, even I only, am
left, and they seek my life, to
take it away.”
And he said, “Go out and

Wherever you find yourself
this weekend, whether it’s a
hard spot in life, a seemingly
impossible pit, or perhaps a
heart flooded with joy, know
that God has done the im-
possible to show you His
love. I hope you can crack a
plastic egg, find a delicious
treat, and enjoy a bit of the
warm and fuzzy joy of God’s
blessing to you this week-
New Life Assembly of God
Lord.” And behold, the Lord
passed by, and a great and
strong wind tore the moun-
tains and broke in pieces the
rocks before the Lord, but the
Lord was not in the wind.
And after the wind, an
earthquake, but the Lord was
not in the earthquake. And
after the earthquake a fire,
but the Lord was not in the
fire.
And after the fire the sound
of a low whisper. And when
Elijah heard it, he wrapped
his face in his cloak and went
out and stood at the entrance
of the cave. And behold, there
came a voice to him and said,
“What are you doing here,
Elijah?”

times. It’s easy to only think
of ourselves and what we are
going through. Yet here we
are, reminded that our pride
and self-pity can only cause
division in our lives.
At times like this, it’s good
to find people who you care
for and love, and bind togeth-
er in prayer for the hand of
God to move. He offers us the
only peace that is lasting.
One of the mistakes Eli-
jah made in his life is that he
tried to walk it alone. That
isolation and loneliness was
not good for him.
Although, we are somewhat
isolated in this time of Coro-
navirus, we are not alone.
Our church family, and most
importantly our God, is right
beside us.

Eldon council conducts business,

discusses opening of aquatic center
The Eldon City Council
Tuesday night approved a
change order for the airport
taxiway project, a pair of lot
split requests and parking re-
strictions on a portion of East
Fifth Street.
Aldermen also tabled an
ordinance for an agreement
with Williams Keepers for
accounting services and dis-
cussed the planned June 6
opening of the aquatic center.
Change order
for airport project
The council voted 4-0 (Al-
derman David Mitchem ab-
stained and Alderman Rod-
ney Fair absent) to approve a
change order for Emery Sapp
and Sons for the airport taxi-
way project.
Mitchem recused himself
as the company owners are
distant relatives.
According to Public Works
Director Steve Johnson,
the change order involved the
removal of unsuitable materi-
als (clay) at the site.
Ninety percent of the cost
of the change order is covered
by grant funding.
Crews are expected to pave
the second lane of the new
taxiway this week.
Lot splits
The council approved lot
split requests (recommended
by the planning and zoning
commission) at 417 and 419
W. High Street and at 203
N. Grand and 405 W. High
Street to accommodate the
construction of houses.

council adopted an ordinance
restricting parking on a por-
tion of West Fifth Street by
the Eldon Furniture ware-
house.
Accounting contract
The council discussed then
tabled action on a contract
with Williams Keepers for ac-
counting services.
City Administrator Deb-
bie Guthrie noted that they
seem to be very easy to work
with and are very responsive
to any questions staff may
have.
The firm will also provide
monthly financial reports,
with charges accrued at an
hourly rate.
“Do you feel comfortable
between the posting staff
does at city hall and work the
accounting firm is going to
do that we’ll have accounting
done at a level acceptable to
the auditors?” asked Alder-
man Mitchem.
Guthrie said yes, so far ev-
erything looked good.
“But this is the only way
we’re going to have consis-
tent, professional accounting
support,” Guthrie added.
At issue, however, was the
question of “out of pocket”
expenses in the contract.
Aldermen voiced concern
about what this might include
and the potential costs.
“I just hate that it’s ambig-
uous,” said Alderman Daph-
ney Partridge.
The council then tabled the
matter to the June 9 meeting.
current health guidelines.
Guthrie explained that
from talking with Michael
Herbert, administrator with
the Miller County Health
Center, unless the Governor’s
orders are extended, they be-
come recommendations after
May 30.
Still, he advised the city
to adhere to the guidelines,
which include limiting at-
tendance to no more than 50
percent of capacity.
Guthrie noted that this
would restrict attendance to
150 persons.
She also advised the coun-
cil of a program initiated by
former parks and recreation
director Michael Brandt
to sell punch cards for use
at the pool concession stand.
The cards, to be sold for $8,
would be good for $10 worth
of merchandise at the conces-
sion stand.
“So we would be losing $2
for every card sold,” Guthrie
explained.
She also said she had no
idea how many of the cards
had been sold.
City Clerk Stacie Howk
said Brandt had told her a lot
of kids come to the pool and
forget their money, adding
that if they had the card they
could still get a drink or food.
Alderman Derek Nelson
noted that a lot of cards are
sold where a person gets their
12th meal free and he could
see where it could be good,
but the proposal needed to be
reworked.
“I don’t mind if we want-

DAVID WOOD’S CAPITOL REPORT

BY 58TH DISTRICT STATE REP. DAVID WOOD
First let me apologize for
not having a Capitol Report for
the past few weeks. With the
extended spring break due to
the Covid-19 pandemic, there
wasn’t much to report except
a lot of uncertainty. The deci-
sion was made that the legis-
lature would return at the end
of April to complete our consti-
tutional obligation of passing
a balanced budget before the
first Friday in May. This made
for a lot of work in a very short
time period.
It was difficult to develop
this budget because we did not
know what we will be receiving
in income tax revenue due to
the deadline for filing being ex-
tended to July 15. We are also
still waiting to see if the feder-
al government will be sending
more relief money that might
be used to replace shortfalls in
the state’s budget. The possibil-
ity of a special session after the
tax deadline is very likely so
adjustments can be made with
better information.
There were a total of 32 bills
sent to the Governor this year
for him to either sign into law
or veto. In a normal year that
number would be close to 120
pieces of legislation, but with
the extended break it limited
the amount of time available
for completing the process. The
bills that had been voted out of
the Senate or House before the
break became omnibus bills
that had a lot of amendments
added to them.
As an example, my HB
1682, dealing with vaping on
school property, became the
only healthcare bill passed
this year, but the Senate added
more than 20 amendments. I
agreed with all of the amend-
ments, and most of them were
not controversial, but it is not
the best way for the process to
work. The positive note about
HB 1682 is that this is the bill
that the students from Morgan
County R-II (Versailles) had
me file for them as part of their
DECA project. The pandemic
canceled their competition, but
they can say that this change in
the law came from their hard
work.
The Prescription Drug Mon-
itoring Program got very close,
but once again failed to make it
across the finish line. We will
continue to be the only state
in the country without a state-
wide PDMP. The St. Louis pro-
gram is now in 85 percent of
the counties. Rep. Holly Reh-
der has worked on this topic for
the past eight years, and if she
gets elected to the Senate, I am
sure the fight will continue.
There was a lot of debate
about mail-in/absentee voting
for the primary and general
election this year. Due to the
pandemic there is some con-
cern with opening the polls in
August and November, so mail
in and absentee voting was ex-
panded for this year only. The
concern is with voter fraud
being more prevalent with
mail-in ballots. In our rural
area I believe the polls could
be adapted to accommodate
the safety precautions, but in
the urban districts it would be
more difficult.
There was a news story that
the Speaker of the House, Eli-
jah Haahr, sneakily inserted
a piece of legislation into a
bill that would have protected
property rights and prevented
private companies from using
eminent domain. This was of-
fered as an amendment on the
floor of the House, with full
debate. The Senate took up this
bill and debated at length its
contents. If the House and Sen-
ate didn’t see what was right
in front of them, then that is
not the Speaker’s fault. I have
served with the Speaker all
eight years and he has always
been effective as a legislator
and respected as a leader.
The pandemic has definite-
ly changed our daily lives. It
has been interesting to see the
many different reactions re-
lated to the seriousness of the
illness, stay at home orders,
homeschooling, masks, gov-
ernment overreach, and a host
of memes on social media. I am
glad to see things beginning to
open back up, but I do believe
that the precautions were nec-
essary to allow the hospitals to
prepare for the treatments and
to distribute the needed pro-
tective equipment. The restric-
tions were not meant to elimi-
nate the virus, and flattening
the curve simply means that we
will have less cases at one time.
The effect on the economy will
last for a long time and it has
shown that each part of our

BLAINE’S BULLETIN
BY 3RD DIST. OF MO. U.S. REP. BLAINE LUETKEMEYER
Every year on the last Mon-
day of May, our nation cele-
brates Memorial Day to honor
the lives of the brave men and
women of the United States
military who have made the
ultimate sacrifice for this coun-
try. We have been blessed to
live in the freest country in
the world, and it is all thanks
to these fallen heroes and our
veterans. Memorial Day gives
Missourians and Americans
across the country the oppor-
tunity to reflect on the im-
mense gratitude we feel for the
selfless actions of our service-
members and their families.
While Memorial Day serves
as the unofficial kickoff to sum-
mer, it is so much more. It is al-
ways nice to gather and spend
time with family, but it is im-
portant to remember the true
meaning of this day: honoring
Americans who have given
their lives fighting for our free-
dom and letting their families
know that we haven’t forgot-
ten. The men and women who
answer the call to serve and
join the United States military
volunteer to put their country
before themselves and leave
home for a deployment not
knowing if they will return to
their families and loved ones.
While we’re eating hotdogs and
hamburgers in the backyard,
military members are sta-
tioned around the globe mak-
ing sure we enjoy the holiday
weekend in peace.
Memorial Day is dedicated
to those who have laid down
their lives for the sake of their
fellow Americans, but it is
also a great opportunity to
thank our nation’s veterans.
Missouri is home to veterans
who have served in World War
II, Korea, Vietnam, the Per-
sian Gulf, Iraq, Afghanistan,
and other countries across
the world. While these heroes
were thankfully able to return
home, they have sacrificed so
much for this nation and we
are so grateful for their sense
of duty and love of country.
Like everything else these
days, we’re going to celebrate
the holiday a little different
this year. Areas like Union and
St. Charles are usually home to
Memorial Day parades and cer-
emonies we all look forward to
and enjoy. Unfortunately, they
will not be able to take place
this year due to coronavirus,
but that doesn’t mean it will go
unnoticed. We can still pray for
and remember our heroes and
their families who have been
forced to go on without a fa-
ther, mother, son or daughter.
Life will never be the same for
these families, and we are for-
ever indebted to them for the
incredible sacrifices their loved
ones have made. This weekend,
and every weekend, is the per-
fect time to say thank you.

GINNY’S GLIMPSES
BY GINNY DUFFIELD
In the entire recorded history of the
world, only one disease has been totally elim-
inated from mankind: small pox. That was
done with aggressive vaccination and quar-
antine programs in the 1970s.
Because we’ve only eliminated that one
disease, it is highly unlikely we can elimi-
nate COVID-19. We’ll have to deal with it on a
large scale until an effective vaccine is found
and enough people are vaccinated at what-
ever the appropriate intervals are to provide
“herd” immunity for the general population.
The Black Death, a plague that ravaged
Asia and Europe several times in the Middle
Ages, is still with us. Because it is caused by
a bacteria, not a virus, antibiotics are effec-
tive against it and we also now know fleas are
the primary vector and rats are the reservoir
host so controlling fleas and rodents controls
the spread. But a couple of thousand cases
crop up every year, including a few in the
U.S. At least a third of Europeans died from
the plague in the mid-1300s and unchecked
COVID-19, or the next new disease, could
also kill off a large number of humans.
Amazingly, some people had a genet-
ic trait that made them immune from the
Black Death and some of their descen-
dants still do, according to a study con-
ducted in 2014. The gene makes their im-
mune system more efficient generally so
there may be a genetic predisposition in
some humans that lessens the effect of CO
VID-19 on their bodies, which may account
for why some people get a mild case, or even
have no symptoms at all, and while about 20
percent have a raging case that is difficult to
treat and many of those people die.
Lots of research is needed on a host of
fronts.
Meanwhile, we need to keep ourselves,
our family members and complete strang-
ers as safe as we can by washing hands, not
getting close to people in public settings and,
yes, wearing masks. I’ve seen some really
“blinged” out ones on the internet so you can
use a mask to make a fashion statement.
If you get respiratory symptoms, pay more
attention to your social distancing and if you
get shortness of breath, get in touch with
your doctor immediately. I’ve got respirato-
ry symptoms most of spring because of tree
pollen. That could hide the fact that I have a
mild case COVID-19. I could become a “super
spreader,” or you or anyone else could be a su-
per spreader. Best to be safe.
I don’t wear a mask to make a political
statement; I do it to avoid spreading or catch-
ing the virus if I can, and to avoid tracking
it home to my husband. We have a neighbor
who sprays his shoes with Lysol whenever he
arrives home from being out in public. Not a
bad idea.
We can’t live in lock down forever. I’m
about as tired of staying at home as any-
one but even though state restrictions have
eased, the Duffields are staying home most of
the time. Because we are lucky enough to be
mostly retired at this point in time, it has not
been a financial nightmare as it has been for
some. Going back to work and school needs
to be done thoughtfully. Factory settings, in
particular poultry and meat plants, have been
real problems. Workers have died and ways to
prevent that must be found. I suspect slowing
down lines so workers can be more spread out
is going to become necessary, which will in-
crease costs. Better that than dead. You don’t
recover from dead.
am today and I am satisfied with the person that I have become. Don’t give up, this too shall pass,
sometimes it is just a bad day- all things my parents have told me that still ring true. There are
times when you just have to push through; there are times that will be tough. This is when you
build character. Always take the time to find something to be thankful for. My dad is notorious for
saying… one day at a time, just worry about today. There have been times when just simply getting
through one day was more than I could fathom and my one goal was just to make it back to bed,
pull the covers over my head and try again tomorrow. But I made it through, you will have days
such as this. You will make it through.
I am not much on “advice.” I don’t like to give it and I get confused when I ask for it. So we will
not call this advice, we will refer to the following as lessons I’ve learned; lessons on “adulting”-
Lessons that this quarantine has proven essential.
You need to know this, not everything will be easy. It is ok to fail, for in failing there was trying.
Not trying is failing. Everyone struggles. You are never alone.
Lesson 1: You don’t need to have a plan for the rest of your life, just the next step or two.
Lesson 2: If you are not going to go to school- get a job. Be on time and ready to work. You will
never find a job that you will like everything about. Take the good with the bad. Not every week is
going to be a great week. With a good attitude it will all average out.
Lesson 3: Live on less than what you make, be responsible with your money- don’t spend it all
as soon as you get paid. Tuck some back each week. Anything can happen- look at 2020.
Lesson 4: Look at the value of each $. For instance if you make $10 per hour and you go out to
lunch everyday and it costs you $15- you have to work 1.5 hours just to each lunch. So out of your
8-hour shift you are only working 6.5 to even pay your bills. If it is a fabulous lunch… then go for
it. Sometimes it is worth it.
Lesson 5: Be nice- Be good- if you cannot find the good- be the good.
Lesson 6: Visit your parents, grandparents and family. You will thank me later. You will not
recognize the immense value of this until you are in your 40s.
Lesson 7: Learn the difference between wants and needs. Not panicking about how you will pay
your bills will give you greater happiness than having all the “wants.”
Lesson 8: I am 52, I have several people that are my age that are retiring this year because they
started a job and persevered. I did not start my career until I was 42, then again at 51. Retirement
is a good goal to have.
Lesson 9: Your success depends on your drive- keep on going.
Lesson 10: Don’t compare yourself to anyone. You are the only one that can perfect being you.
Don’t worry about what other people think about you; what they think is none of your business.
Moms, Dads, Aunts & Funcles, yes I mean Funcles they get away with everything, Grandmas,
Grandpas and mentors, share your wisdom. Teach them the following life skills: how to cook sim-
ple meals- this quarantine and the shutdown of restaurants has shown people that this is a neces-
sary skill. Budgeting is a super power. Laundry does not do itself. Grocery stores are your friends.
Show them how to maintain a vehicle or you will become a taxi. Remind them to make good choic-
es, to own up to the not-so-good choices and let them know you will love them no matter what the
choice. Be a lifeline. Go fishing. Teach them what it means to be a part of a community.
It takes a village to raise a child. I sometimes think this is truer following graduation than be-
fore. Remember they had thirteen years of structure that is no longer there.
This is how we make a better tomorrow.
I would like to thank my parents for teaching me how to take care of myself.

Iberia school board sets graduation; salaries, budget unclear

ty have not been selected.

After a long discussion on
risks, community needs and
logistics due to COVID-19,
the Iberia R-V School Board
decided Tuesday night to hold
graduation services for se-
niors at 6 p.m. Saturday, June
13, outdoors.
Rain date will be June 20.
There will be no sixth grade
graduation this year and
summer school will not be
held nor will a school spon-
sored prom be hosted for high
school juniors and seniors.
However, community sports
league baseball and softball
leagues will be allowed to use
the school fields starting next
week but will have to follow
local health, state health and
federal health guidelines. In
answer to a question from
High School Principal Tara
Luttrell, Superintendent
Lyndel Whittle said summer
camps for such things as
basketball and cheerleading
on school property also will
be possible as long as social
distancing and other health
guidelines can be and are fol-
lowed.
A contractor will be hired
to provide a stage for grad-
uation and will also provide
and run a sound system and
any lighting needed. Chairs
will be set up with the ap-
propriate social distancing
for the audience but families
may also bring lawn chairs
and set them up outside that
area, though social distanc-
ing will be urged. The event
also will be livestreamed by
the contractor for those who
are uncomfortable or unable
to attend a public ceremony.
However, the contractor
is unavailable for June 20 if
that date has to be used. The
school will have to do the best
it can under those circum-
stances, Whittle said.
Limiting the number of
guests each graduate could
have at the ceremony was dis-
cussed but the idea was even-
tually rejected by the board.
Board President Rachel
Imperato said she hated to
see summer school not held.
“I personally think kids are
ready for some normalcy,”
she said.
“We can’t have summer
school,” Board Vice Pres-
ident Chad Halley said. “I
don’t know if it’s in the cards
for this year,” board member
Kyle Nichols said in agree-
ment. “It’s been a terrible
year.”
Board Treasurer Ralf
Trusty, who is local coordina-
tor for the Ozark Youth Sports
League, said the league will
provide cleaning of the dug-
outs after games and parents
will have to sign waivers for
their children to play. The
waivers include a statement
on COVID-19. A single per-
son also will be responsible
for operating and cleaning
the concession stand area, he
said.
Halley said he has heard
from parents who want to
host a prom-like event for the
juniors and seniors. Whittle
indicated as long as it was
off school property and the
school is not involved, the
community can do what it
wants to do in that regard.
Nichols said he does not see
how social distancing could
be possible at a dance.
Whittle noted the end of
year grades and other activ-
ities went well. He also said
there were untold numbers of
people who helped make the
delivery and pick up of les-
sons and the delivery of food
to student families possible.
Teachers also stepped up to
provide distance learning.
“There are countless people
to thank to make all that hap-
pen,” Whittle said.
Salaries and budget
CTA Vice President David
Visser presented the salary
proposal for next year. He
said the salary committee
was never able to hold a for-
mal meeting and he had to get
information from the faculty
via the internet.
“We have no idea what next
year will look like,” Whittle
said, referring to funding,
the possibility of holding tra-
ditional classes and learning
students have missed since
schools were closed in March.
“A teacher is more valuable
than any piece of technology,”
Visser said. “We (the teach-
ers) know there are lots of un-
knowns. “
The salary proposal along
with amendments for the
2019-20 budget, which clos-
es on June 30, and the new
2020-21 budget, which will
be strongly affected by state
budget cuts, will all be dis-
cussed at a June 10 workshop
meeting. The coming year
will be a bad one for school
funding, Whittle predicted.
That meeting also will be
used to reorganize the board
after the June 2 municipal
elections, which were post-
poned from April due to
COVID-19.
Coming school year
“I really don’t want virtu-
al classes next year,” Whittle
told the board. The superin-
tendent said teaching virtu-
ally involves not only a lot of
work for teachers but also for
parents.
He explained administra-
tors and other staff are mak-
ing plans on how to handle
lunch and recess in order to
prevent large gatherings of
students. Health guidelines
will have to be followed,
Whittle said. “We’re under a
microscope” from the public,
Whittle went on to say and
ethically the school has an
obligation to follow health
guidelines.
Other business
In other business, the
board:
•  Approved a bid, the only
one received, from Maries
County Bank to provide
banking services for the next
five years.
•  Approved a purchase
from the low bidder, Ozark
Mountain Energy, for fuel
during the recent dramatic
downturn in prices.
•  Approved changes to stu-
dent handbooks as presented.
•  Approved Visser as a
co-sponsor for student coun-
cil and Christie Bauer as FC-
CLA sponsor and a senior
class sponsor.
•  Hired Hannah Clark as a
custodian.

gave their lives to protect our
freedom and those loved ones
that passed on before us.
Debbie Yoekum of Bland
arrived at her mother’s Shir-
ley Alderman, home Friday.
They put flowers at the High
Point Cemetary for Debbie’s
dad and family and at the
Olean Cemetary for Glenn Al-
derman. Shirley got out Mon-
day and got some groceries.
Dorries Wiggins and her 2
daughters from the Kansas
City area came to Peggy Mar-
ten’s home Sunday. Doris is
Jack’s sister. They put flowers
on several graves in the area.
They had an enjoyable time
visiting and reminiscing.
Jim and McTonia Parrish
and his mother from Spring-
field arrived at the home of
Dave Stewart Sunday after-
noon. Matonia cleaned her
dads house and Jim did some
repairs outside.
Larry stayed at the Allen
Cemetary Sunday morning to
take care of the money jar for
the upkeep of the cemetary.
That afternoon Larry and
I and lil Jon, Mike Procter,
Frank Procter, Bob Williams,
Charles and Kathleen Jobe,
Bill and Barbara Jenkins
and Tom and Ann McCurdy
attended the annual Allen
Cemetary meeting. Bill Jen-
kins was the novator. Tom
McCurdy led the prayer and
spoke on the importance of
Memorial Day. Barbara Jen-
kins read the minutes of last
year and the treasurers re-
port. We were distanced and
had a short service compared
to normal. Mike Proctor and
lil Jon picked up the flags that
were put on the graves of the
veterans. Larry went to the
Spring Garden Cemetary af-
ter the meeting at the Allen
Cemetary to put flowers on
his famies graves. The rain
shortened his stay.
Larry and I were invited
to 2 different barbecues Me-
morial Day, but we decided to
stay home. Jon Gier hosted a
bbq. Several of his friends and
family enjoyed the festivities.
Rhonda and Randy Nelson
also hosted a bbq. Those at-
tended were Chad Nelson and
family, Taylor Nelson and Or-
lan, Matt Nelson and friend
and Dustin Belk, Shellie.
Thursday evening I pre-
pared dinner for Rhonda
Nelson, Taylor and her fian-
cé, Orlan, at her home. We
had a good meal and enjoyed
playing cards. Larry planted
some cucumber seeds in an
egg carton. Several of them
came up and I helped Rhon-
da plant them in her garden.
Keep Rhonda in your prayers.
We go back to the doctor in
two weeks.
Friday I accompanied Jon
Gier and Halie to the Lake to
go grocery shopping for the
weekend. He had a cookout
Monday. The grocery stores
were packed with tourists.
Saturday I visited with
Rosa Apperson for a bit. Her
sons and granddaughter
spent the day at Truman lake
relaxing and visiting.
The kids completed their
first week of summer school.
They enjoyed it except Halie
said PE got her because she is
out of shape. Halie and lil Jon
are in High School. Ethan is
in jr. High and Annabelle is in
Upper Elementary.
The Procter family usual-
ly gets together on Memorial
Day. They hope to get togeth-
er later in the year. Most of
them gathered at The Silver
Dollar Restaurant for break-
fast Sunday morning and a
good visit and then after the
Allen Cemetary meeting they
went out for lunch.
Carol Hutcherson reported
that Vicki Start was in Capi-
tal Region hospital last week.
She had a mass in her colon.
She is home now. Please pray
that the doctors help her with
this problem and pray for her
family.
Larry and I went to the
estate sale of Bob and Loui-
sa Thorson Friday morning.
Larry and Bob grew up to-
gether and became friends
through that.
I had a friend call me Mon-
day evening and tell me that
she had to have the ambu-
lance come to their house and
take her husband to the hos-
pital with a severe headache
and fever. She could not go in
the ambulance with him or go
inside he hospital. She asks
for prayer that doctors can
find the problem and treat
him. She also has a daughter
that will have a severe back
surgery one day this week.
She cannot go to be with her.
She really needs your prayers.
Halie brought lil Jon,
Ethan, and Annabelle over
Sunday morning for break-
fast and to attend Sunday
school and church.
Christina Porter went to
work at Casey’s last week.
Her grandmother, Barb Por-
ter has been watching Emi-
ly and Natalie. They will be
good company for Barb and
the kids will get good care.
Carol Hutcherson reports
that it was a pretty quiet time
at their house this week. Bro.
Kent’s utility tracker got de-
stroyed in the tornado we
had last year. He found one
on Craig’s list that fit the bill.
Friday, Kent and Carol trav-
eled to East Alton, Il to pur-
chase the utility tracker Kent
found. They had an enjoyable,
trouble-free trip, but most
places on their way were not
open like in Miller county.
They made the trip and then
had a late lunch/ early dinner
at home. Kent and Carol hope
all have a safe and good Me-
morial day holiday.
Friday afternoon a parade
in honor of the 22nd tornado
that ripped through Eldon
and then proceeded to do
damage all the way to Jeffer-
son City was held in Eldon.
That tornado did massive de-
struction and still lots of plac-
es have not been restored to
how it was.
Please pray for all those I
mentioned above.
Until next week, pray for
our president, our nation’s
leaders, our national guard,
our troops and their families
and all those that have been
affected by the coronavirus
whether they are sickened
or lost their jobs or just the
stress of staying at home.
Also pray for all those in our
community that have lost
loved ones, are having health
problems or financial difficul-
ties. Stay healthy and safe.

Eric Burkhart . . . barbecue is his business
By Connie Wyrick
According to the Smithso-
nian Magazine, the art of bar-
becuing, not to be confused
with grilling, is a truly Amer-
ican tradition.
The idea of cooking meat
low and slow over indirect
heat originated with indige-
nous tribes in the Caribbe-
an. In the 1500s the method
made its way north with the
Spanish conquistadors, who
referred to it as “barbacoa.”
In this country, it has been
changed up with the addition
of sauces.
I prefer a tomato-based
sweet sauce, and when Kenny
and I were in South Carolina,
the dominant barbecue sauce
was a mustard-based sauce.
We decided that the South
needed to learn something
from the Midwest when it
comes to barbecuing. Luckily

its own barbecue aficionado,
Eric Burkhart of Eugene.
Eric has spent the last 13
years honing his barbecuing
skills. It all began in 2006
when he and his friend, Jeff
Spurgeon, decided to enter
a barbecue competition in
Warsaw and finished in the
middle of the pack.
Feeling pretty good about
their first try at barbecuing,
they entered another com-
petition - a Shriner’s barbe-
cue contest. The results were
different this time. They fin-
ished dead last.
At that moment Eric de-
cided to take the science of
barbecuing serious from then
on. For 30 days straight he
smoked six pieces of chicken

confident that he understood
what was needed to get chick-

en just right.
In the next competition,
they finished first with their
chicken, and by the end of
their first year they won the
American Royal Open Grand
Championship Barbecue
Contest in Kansas City.
To do so, they had to beat
470 teams. In this competi-
tion, teams barbecued four
types of meat - chicken, ribs,
pork butt and brisket.
Eventually, Eric and Jeff
decided it was too difficult to
keep the team together, with
Jeff in Kansas City and Eric
in Eugene, so they parted
ways.
Eric’s wife Robin helps him
now, and his team name is
Uncle Bub’s BBQ. He has won
several barbecue competi-
tions, including first place for
his brisket in both the Jack

in Lynchburg, Tenn.; and the

Work is scheduled to begin
next week, as a contractor
working for the Missouri De-

of the Miller County Route
C bridge over Deane Creek,
south of Brumley. The bridge
will be closed to traffic for up

work takes place, starting on
June 1. Signs and message
boards will be in place to
alert motorists of the closure.
Motorists will be able to
utilize Camden County Route

during the rehabilitation of
the Deane Creek bridge. Mo-

patience of motorists while
this work takes place.
Once the Deane Creek
bridge has been rehabilitat-

place the deck of the Camden
County Route D bridge over
Minnow Brook Creek, south-

project closer to its start date.
Both bridges are included

you’ve never accepted Jesus as
your savior then you are not

Jesus as your personal savior,
you are lost. You have to ask
him to come in to your life and
take over and he will show you
the way. Are you ready to meet
Jesus face to face? If we have
started the race we need to fin-
ish it. Because Jesus IS going
to come back and that day will
be a great day. Every knee will
bow and every tongue will con-
fess that He is Lord. He will
come like a thief in the night.
There will be no warning. Are
you ready for his return or are

for us to have an outdoor ser-
vice. Some are still being care-
ful about being in crowds due
to age and other ailments, so it
was good to be outside.
Those on the church prayer
list are Vickie Stark, Amy Cur-
rence, Ashley Cowen, James
Weiss and for the state and
nation amid the Coronavirus
pandemic.
Brother Bob and his son Josh
sang “Victory in Jesus” and
“Amazing Grace,” and asked
everyone to join in singing.
Josh then sang “No one stands
alone.”
Brother Bob was happy to
have his grandson and his fam-
ily including his wife and small
son from Arkansas.
Brother Bob’s message was
from Ephesians 2:1-12, 5:1-14
and 6:10.
In these passages, Paul was
teaching the people in Ephe-
sus, telling them they should
be imitators of God as dear
children. They were to walk
in love, as Christ also loved us
and gave Himself for us, and to
offer a sacrifice to God.
They were told not to listen
to empty words because they
were once darkness, but now
are the light of the Lord. They
should also walk as children of
light. He added that the fruit
of the spirit is in all goodness,
righteousness and truth, be-
cause this is what is acceptable
to the Lord.
Paul also told them that by
grace they had been saved,
through faith, and not some-
thing they had done, as it is a
gift of God.

Sunday worship 11 a.m. We’d
love to have you join us for our
Sunday morning service.
We’d love to have you join us
for our Sunday morning ser-
vices.
Karen Wacker opened the
worship service with a Memo-
rial day devotion. Memorial
day is a day that is set aside to
remember and honor our brave
soldiers who have given their
lives to protect our land and
keep us free. “Decoration Day”
began in 1868 as a day to honor
our Civil War dead. After WWI
it expanded to include veterans
of all US wars.
James Schupp’s message was
from the book of Matthew. Je-
sus did the same thing for us
when he died on the cross for
our sins and gave us the gift
of eternal life. We should hon-
or and pray tribute to Him for
the Plan of Salvation. If we go
against God’s will, He put’s us
in a situation to try to bring
us back. There is no one that
has more influence in our lives
than God.
Sympathy and prayers to the
family of Sue Enloe. We contin-
ue to pray for Hazel Gier, Thel-
ma Currence, Betty Wineland,
Darlene Bunch and Bill En-
gle. Remember to pray for our
country and our leaders those
who serve. Have a blessed week
and God bless.

A wedding shower was held

Testimonies were shared of
God’s goodness and answered
prayers. Judy Hamm sang for
our special “I Didn’t Throw the
Clay away.”
The morning message by
Pastor Hamm was taken from
Joshua 4:1-7. Memorial Day
began in 1868 to remember the
fallen soldiers from the Con-
federate and Union armies.
What memorials do you have?
Do you have a cross, a fish or a
Bible? They remind us today of
what God is capable of. In this
scripture the spies had crossed
the Red Sea and as they crossed
they were told to choose a stone
that would represent the tribes
of Israel. They were to be plac-
es and when the children asked
what they meant they were
to tell them. In our churches
we also remember those who
sacrificed and never forget the
price and sacrifice they made.
We must never forget the sac-
rifice that Jesus made on the
cross for each one of us.
Prayer requests were for
Edith Rowden , Leah McClain,

ones, our police officers and
military men and women who
protect us, our nation during
this crisis and to stay true and
not let the evil destroy it, and
state and national leaders.
Remember 7-7-7. This means
on the 7th day, Saturday, at 7
p.m. and for 7 minutes or more
to pray for our church services
on Sunday and for a moving of
the Holy Spirit on Iberia and
the surrounding community.
Sunday, May 31, in the eve-
ning service will be our month-

May God bless you this week

Him to show you how to make
a difference in your life, your
community, and the world
around you.

en from 1 Timothy 3:16, and

“Humble yourselves there-

due time.” 1 Peter 5:6
It is so good to be back in the
house of God worshiping to-
gether again! We rejoiced with
heaven’s angels and each other
as a young lady gave her life to
the Lord. Such a blessing!
There will be more info in
next weeks news concerning
some changes in times of SS
and praise and worship. Bro
Ernie used scripture from
John 3:16 and ministered on
“The Realities of Hell.” Very
powerful message! Bro Jimmy
sang a special.
Thought for the week” The
shortest distance between a
problem and a solution is the
distance between your knees
and the floor.
If you’re looking for a church
where the message of Christ is
preached and the power of God
is felt, you’re welcome in any
of our services. We’re a going
church for a soon coming Lord!
IBERIA UNITED
METHODIST CHURCH
Tricia Quist, Pastor
Although our services have
been short and hymn-free, we
continue to gather carefully
on Sunday mornings. There is
something about actually see-
ing each other and speaking to
the members of our Christian
family in person that is com-
forting and beneficial. I look
forward to the hugs and songs
that I know will return soon
to our worship. Brother Steve
shared last week that the most
important things we can give
each other are love, time, and
attention, so we should use this
time to slow down and look for
ways to take care of each other.
We wished Happy Birthday
to Makayla Hall and Joy Re-
ichert.
Our prayers for healing in-
cluded Jackie Fancher, Wayne
Vaughan, Sharon Yoakum,
Pastor Paul Prater, Pastor Mike
Summers, Mandy Farnham,
Bill Kunderman, Todd Minn-
ick, Alice Wall, Elsie Moss, and
Pastor Tricia. We asked God to
comfort the families of Eliza-
beth Goewey, Johnny Surface,
John Veasman, and the Gold
Star families that are especial-
ly mindful of their lost loved
ones on Memorial Day.
In the past two weeks we
have heard Mark 1:14-2:17,
which chronicles the early au-
thority and miracles of Jesus,
and Matthew 9: 14-17, in which
Jesus explains why he dis-
obeyed the Jewish law against
eating with sinners. The Jews
had codified over 600 laws
about every aspect of their
behavior, and Jesus chose to
disobey some of them in or-
der to expand the kingdom of
God and offer forgiveness and
salvation to people who were
considered sinners or unclean
or unworthy. Pastor Tricia is
asking us to be mindful of the
social rules, family traditions,
and cultural expectations we
follow, and prioritize the ones
that help spread the good news,
bring others closer to God, and
grow His kingdom.

Pastor Walter’s message
Sunday morning was on “Liv-
ing a Transformed Life.” Ro-
mans 12:1-2
I beseech you therefore,
brethren, by the mercies of
God, that ye present your bod-
ies a living sacrifice, holy, ac-
ceptable unto God, which is
your reasonable service. And
be not conformed to this world:
but be ye transformed by the
renewing of your mind, that ye
may prove what is that good,
and acceptable, and perfect,
will of God. 1) Let the word of
God change the way you think:
Romans 8:6-8For to be carnal-
ly minded is death; but to be
spiritually minded is life and
peace. Because the carnal mind
is enmity against God: for it is
not subject to the law or God,
neither indeed can be. So then
they that are in the flesh can-
not please God. 2) Present your
bodies a living sacrifice in the
service for the Lord, holy, and
acceptable to God: Roman 12:1
I beseech you therefore, breth-
ren, by the mercies of God, that
ye present your bodies a living
sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto
God, which is your reasonable
service. I Peter 2:9But ye are
a chosen generation, a royal
priesthood, and holy nation, a
peculiar people; that ye should
shew forth the praises of him
who hath called you out of
darkness into his marvelous
light. Psalms 119:1-6Blessed
are the undefiled in the way,
who walk in the law of the
Lord. Blessed are they that
keep his testimonies, and that
seek him with the whole heart.
They also do no iniquity: they
walk in his ways. Thou hast
commanded us to keep thy
precepts diligently. O that my
ways were directed to keep thy
statutes! Then shall I not be
ashamed, when I have respect
unto all thy commandments. 3)
Be not conformed to this world:
James 4:4(CEV) You people ar-
en’t faithful to God! Don’t you
know that if you love the world,
you are God’s enemies? And
if you decide to be a friend of
the world, you make yourself
an enemy of God. 1John 2:17
(CEV) The world and the de-
sires it causes are disappear-
ing. But if we obey God, we will
live forever. 4) Be transformed
by the renewing of the mind.
ICorinthians 2:14-16 But the
natural man receiveth not the
things of the Spirit of God: for
they are foolishness unto him:
neither can he know them, be-
cause they are spiritually dis-
cerned. But he that is spiritual
judgeth all things, yet he him-
self is judged of no man. For
who hath known the mind of
the Lord, that he may instruct
him? But we have the mind of
Christ. 5) You have been trans-
formed into a new creation.
2Corinthians 5:17 Therefore
if any man be in Christ, he is
a new creature: old things are
passed away; behold, all things
are become new.
Upcoming events: Rick
Pifer, from Eldon will be our
special speaker Sunday Morn-

CONCORD

by Lee A. Todd, Minister
Andy Avery hit a “home run”
with his singing and speaking
for our Sunday morning out-
door service. Our church park-
ing lot was filled and overflow-
ing with a very large crowd of
people who came.
We thank Andy and everyone
who came. We thank our help-
ers who helped with this very
successful event. There were
over 5,000 viewers from the
videos posted on Facebook! To
God be the Glory!
I posted a video message on
Saturday. The message was,
“Jesus … I Came! I Saw! I Con-
quered!”
Because Jesus came, saw
and conquered, He conquered
Satan, death and the grave!
We now can have eternal life
in heaven by our faith in Jesus
and obeying His plan of salva-
tion! Wow!
We say a huge “thank you”
to Sharon Luttrell and Rita
Pemberton for texting inspir-
ing scriptures on Concord’s

enjoy and be encouraged. We
appreciate Ted Helms for post-
ing the Concord Church news
on Facebook. We appreciate
everyone’s prayers, cards and

my brother, Don, and by Andy
Avery’s LIVE video that was

dience was over 5,000!
Wanda and I deeply appreci-
ate your prayers for my broth-
er, Bob, and my brother, Cecil,

two weeks for special diet and
monitoring her heart. We’re

recently. His lung collapsed
and preventing him from
breathing good when lying
down. We thank our awesome
Heavenly Father and our Lord
and Savior for healing and
blessing these wonderful folks.
We’re keeping folks in
prayers who lost their loved
ones and folks who are ill, in-
jured or folks who are home
bound. We’re praying for
the folks who lost their loved
ones due to the Corona Virus
Pandemic as well as the folks
who are sick with this terrible
virus and from other health
issues. We’re praying for the
first responders including the
doctors, nurses, medical and
ambulance personnel who are
on the front lines treating and
helping folks who have the Co-
rona Virus. We’re also praying
for the scientists and medical
researchers who are research-
ing and testing to find a vaccine
to treat this terrible virus.
We sincerely appreciate our
church family and friends for
mailing tithes and offerings

Tuscumbia Class of 2020 graduates 12

By Connie Wyrick
Sunday, May 24, 12 seniors
walked across the stage in the
gymnasium for the final time
in 2020, as they were grad-
uated from Tuscumbia High
School.
The graduation ceremony
represented both an ending
and a beginning for the se-
niors. It was the ending of 13
years of schooling together.
With the exception of Ellen
Pereira de Silva, the foreign
exchange student, the grad-
uates all began their educa-
tional story as kindergart-
eners at Miller County R-III
School.
The ceremony began with
the processional, and joining
the seniors was Elsie (Patter-
son) Yates, who was escorted
by Taylor Ash. Each graduate
carried a bright yellow sun-
flower as they proceeded to
the front of the gym. Then
Allison Harris, senior class
president, led the Pledge of
Allegiance. Bobbie Grant
welcomed everyone to the
ceremony, followed by the
playing of the class song “We
Laughed Until We Cried” as
seniors went into the audi-
ence to thank family mem-
bers their support and love.
The salutatorian address
was given by Haley Flaugher,
who spoke about the close-
ness of the class and how they
were like family. She also
talked about the difficulty of
saying goodbye.
Finally, she shared about
all they had endured, includ-
ing being born during 9/11
and spending the last part
of their senior year separat-
ed under a pandemic stay-
at-home order. She said she
was pretty certain the seniors
could now take anything life
threw at them.
Finally, she challenged her
classmates to “make new
memories, make new friends,
learn new things and find
your passion.”
Allison Harris gave the
valedictorian speech, begin-
ning by thanking adminis-
trators, faculty members and
family members for all they
had done for her personally
during her time in school.
Next, she discussed lessons
learned over the years, as
well as, who taught them. Her
dad taught her to “play hard,
play smart, and have fun.”
He also taught her that “there
was a fine line between tough
and stupid.”
Finally, she said he taught
her to “take a hard-earned
C over an easy A.” She also
mentioned a lesson learned
last fall from the anesthesiol-
ogist that was with her during
her brain surgery to remove a
tumor on her pituitary gland.
She was a nervous wreck as
the time for surgery to begin
approached. The anesthe-
siologist smiled, looked her
straight in the eye, and said,
“Are you ready for the most
intense game of Operation
that you have ever played?”
His positive, relaxed nature
had a calming effect on every-
one in the operating room,
including Allison. This physi-
cian taught her the power of
a positive attitude even in the
most stressful situations.
Finally, she shared what
she had learned from her
grandfather, who passed
away this year from a long
battle with cancer. Although
he was an eighth grade drop-
out, he was one of the smart-
est men she had ever known.
Even on his death bed, he was
giving advice.
Allison was uncertain
about her direction of study
after graduating and told her
grandfather about her inde-
cision. His response was her
greatest lesson – “you know
sis, there will come a time in
your life when you face some-
thing. It could be five minutes
or five decades from now. It
could be good or it could be
bad, but when it happens,
everything will make sense.
If you have your eyes and
your heart open in that mo-
ment, you’ll know what you’re
meant to be in the future.”
Wise words from a beloved
grandfather - words she in-
tends to remember and hoped
her classmates will also take
to heart.
Katie Fifer, former FFA ad-
visor, was chosen by the se-
nior class to present the com-
mencement address. Mrs.
Fifer had taught every senior
with the exception of the for-
eign exchange student.
Their first day of high
school four years earlier was
also her first day of teaching
ever. She said she had the
pleasure of watching them
grow from young freshmen
into the mature young adults
they had become.
She said she watched them
win and lose, and watched
them get out of their com-
fort zones as they tried new
things. However, she was not
always the teacher, some-
times she was the student.
Fifer shared the lessons
the seniors had taught her,
addressing each graduate
individually. Finally, she en-
couraged them to strive to be
lifelong learners, for that is
what life is all about - expe-
riencing new things and con-
tinually learning.
The next part of the grad-
uation ceremony was some-

exception of the foreign ex-

arrived at Tuscumbia in Jan-
uary) was an FFA member,
and as a group, they decided
they didn’t want to leave this
tradition undone.
To retire the blue and gold
jackets, each graduate took
the very personal piece of
official dress to someone
who had supported him/her
during their FFA career.
Following the jacket retire-
ment ceremony, the seniors
were honored with a slide
show and senior farewell
video. Then Becky King rec-
ognized the various awards
each senior had earned.

Grilled cheese may be a
staple of many children’s
diets, but with the substitu-
tion of different cheeses for
the traditional cheddar or
American and the inclusion
of other ingredients, grilled
cheese can enjoy a gourmet,
adult makeover.
While it is certainly pos-
sible to enjoy grilled cheese
on its own, the meal is made
even better when paired
with a favorite soup. Enjoy
these two recipes for the
perfect soup and sandwich
combination, courtesy of
“Real Simple: Dinner To-
night Done!” (Time Home
Entertainment) by the Real
Simple Kitchens.
Mini Grilled Cheese and
Chutney Sandwiches
Serves 8
12 slices white sand-
wich bread
12 ounces fontina or
Gruyère, thinly sliced
1 cup fruit chutney
(such as cranberry, fig or
mango)
2 tablespoons unsalt-
ed butter
Form six sandwiches with
the bread, fontina, and chut-
ney.
In two batches, melt the
butter in a large skillet over
medium heat and cook the
sandwiches until the bread
is golden and the fontina has
melted, 2 to 3 minutes per
side. Cut each sandwich into
quarters before serving.
French Onion Soup
Serves 8
6 tablespoons unsalt-
ed butter
4 pounds onions
(about 6 medium), thinly
sliced
Kosher salt and black
pepper
1 cup dry white wine
2 cups low-sodium
beef broth

country bread, halved cross-
wise if necessary to fit serv-
ing bowls
1 ⁄2 pound Gruyère or
Swiss cheese, grated (2 cups)
1 tablespoon fresh
thyme leaves
Heat the butter in a large
pot or Dutch oven over me-
dium-high heat. Add the
onions, 11 ⁄4 teaspoons salt,
and 1 ⁄4 teaspoon pepper, and
cook, covered, stirring occa-
sionally, until tender, 12 to
15 minutes. Reduce heat to
medium and cook, uncovered,
stirring occasionally, until the
onions are golden brown, 50 to
60 minutes.
Add the wine to the pot and
cook until slightly reduced,

Tomatoes are a versatile
ingredient in many meals
that are just as delicious in
a garden salad as they are
stewed and simmered in a
favorite sauce. Tomatoes are
a major source of the anti-
oxidant lycopene, which can
reduce one’s risk of heart
disease and cancer. Toma-
toes also are a great source
of vitamin C, potassium, fo-
late, and vitamin K.

Sign down – The May 22, 2019 tornado left part of the Ran-
dles Court sign next to a customer’s vehicle.

Lots of neon – Mike Scott (left) visits with Randles Court

owner Jeremy Hart Friday evening about the massive amount
of neon in the motel’s sign. Scott, a fourth generation neon
bender, said he probably spent 40-60 hours bending glass
for the large sign, the no vacancy and court office signs. He
said the sign contains 75 pounds of neon with three, four-foot
sticks per pound.
Let there be lights – Members of the Hart family, owners of Historic Randles Court in Eldon, pose for a photo beneath the
lighted neon sign Friday evening, May 22. The sign, which was destroyed during the 2019 tornado, was reconstructed by
Mid-State Signs and turned on that evening. Pictured are, from left: Karen, Gordon, Jeremy (back), Natalie, Jennifer, Elijah

Midstate Signs would like to thank Jeremy and Jennifer Hart, Historic Randles Court, for entrusting their vintage
porcelain sign to our sign shop. After the tornado we loaded 40 pieces of this sign for restoration. Several weeks later the
Hart’s found another piece under a pile of debris at Bishop’s Glass and we had to make a decorative piece that had been
missing for many years. Forty-one pieces were laid out on our shop floor. The restoration appeared to be a daunting task.
Porcelain enamel was discovered in Germany and was introduced to the United States in 1890. By the 1900’s sign shops
were using this method on signs. A layer of powdered glass was applied to a steel background, intense heat was used to
fuse the two together, a very time intense process. During World War II many of these signs were melted down for war
use. This is the reason why “Pickers” search out old porcelain signs.
The sign was originally RANDLES COURT, STEAM HEAT and FINE FOODS only. It was fabricated and installed
by Missouri Neon, Springfield, MO in 1947. The NO VACANCY arrow and AIR CONDITIONED were added in the
late 1950’s. This complete sign originally was 9” thick and 8’ tall with no way to service anything but the NO VACANCY.
Midstate Signs took the liberty to separate the sections during the restoration. The porcelain enamel sections were
used and were attached to a new 12” wide framework. Much of the porcelain enamel was broken off during the tornado
and more popped off as we straightened the pieces. Jennifer wanted to leave it just as it was so the tornado damage
was visualized. Midstate Signs gives a big thank you to Matt Scrivner, Tyler Fergerson, Garrett Scrivner and our neon
subcontractor James Michael Scott for the time and energy spent to make this restoration a possibility. All of the neon
was installed on the faces and lit in the shop, then all the pieces were removed, tied down on a wire rack and transported
for install on location.
When we reached 716 man hours we quit keeping track. There are 11 transformers, 115 glass housings, 330 yellow bulbs,
106 neon letters and not to mention the steel and numerous rivets.
I personally have memories of Randles Court as a young child. An elementary schoolmate of mine, Donna Mills’ family
owned the property for a while and we had bunking parties in one of the rooms. Another girlfriend, Linda Arnold’s
family moved here to run Randles Restaurant. A next door neighbor, Butch Haggerman trimmed the privet hedge and
mowed the grass. My father, Stewart Blankenship managed the laundromat on the west end of the restaurant. This area
was later used to enlarge the dining room. We at Midstate Signs are thankful the Hart’s had the perseverance to move
ahead and keep a piece of Eldon’s history not only once but twice. The May 22, 2019 tornado was as stressful as the loss
of a loved one. The first year anniversary has come and gone and in that year homes and businesses have been repaired,
trees planted and a new state of the art baseball field completed. Eldon is better than ever. WHAT A DIFFERENCE A
YEAR MAKES.

Thank you

Gateway Industries works to find footing during new normal

Gateway employees are
outside, taking a break. They
are allowed to go maskless as
long as they maintain social

Inside workers are seated

go maskless as long as they

employees, then they have to
have their masks on.
Perhaps, a bit ironically,
they are working at making
masks. The new normal at

4B – The Advertiser – Thursday, May 28, 2020 www.vernonpublishing.com
Eldon officials discuss police pay, fire equipment
Police department pay and
identifying fire department
equipment that could be sur-
plussed and sold were among
items discussed at an Eldon
City Council work session
Wednesday evening, May 20.
In attendance were the may-
or, city administrator, city
clerk, aldermen (except Rod-
ney Fair), Fire Chief Randy
Vernon and Lieutenant Da-
vid Lawrence.
Police department pay
City officials discussed the
starting pay for police officers
as Chief Brian Kidwell is in
need of hiring a new officer.
City Administrator Debbie
Guthrie said Kidwell told her
that before she returned to the
city the council had agreed to a
starting salary of $29,500 per
year, but she could find no re-
cord of council action on the
matter.
Alderman Jerome Atte-
berry said he recalled talking
about it, but did not recall
council action.
Guthrie said at present,
starting police officers are paid
$13.94 per hour and to raise
the annual salary to $29,500
would necessitate an hourly in-
crease of 24 cents.
“We discussed we were at
$27,500 and with Adient com-
ing in there was a discussion of
raising it to $29,500,” said At-
teberry.
Alderman Daphney Par-
tridge noted that this is a min-
imal amount of money, adding
that they work very hard.
“You’re talking a police of-
ficer making $14.18 an hour,”
Guthrie noted.
Alderman David Mitchem
then asked how the change
would affect the police depart-
ment budget.
Guthrie said she was hopeful
it would not adversely affect
the budget, but couldn’t say for
certain.

Trevor
Vernon 2020 Mayor
“That’s a minimal amount of
money on a $700,000 police
department budget, but I want
documentation that it should
be $29,500,” said Mayor Lar-
ry Henderson.
The consensus of the council
was to raise the entry level po-
lice officer salary to $29,500.
Aldermen also asked Guth-
rie to develop a citywide salary
chart for consideration at a fu-
ture time.
Fire department
Chief Vernon shared a list of
items for possible surplus and
sale, including the 1985 Stew-
art-Stevenson military truck
the department received for
free approximately five years
ago.
Vernon said the city had to
keep the vehicle for four years
to obtain the title, but it could
be surplussed.
“We have decided we don’t
need it and don’t have the mon-
ey to maintain it,” said Vernon,
who added that the truck has
donated equipment on it and
the pump is bad.
“It’s going to take dollars to
get it ready,” he said, adding
that it’s also very hard to get
parts for it.
Alderman Mitchem favored
keeping the military vehicle
as a brush truck and selling
the brush truck that was pur-
chased last year.
“We don’t need two brush
trucks,” he said.
Vernon again referred to the
age of the vehicle and mainte-
nance costs as a reason for sell-
ing it.
Lieutenant Lawrence also
noted that you cannot go plac-
es with the big (military) truck
that you can with the smaller
one.
It was also noted that the
brush truck purchased last
year replaced a 1992 model.
Vernon then noted that the
new brush truck should last the

city 30 years.
As for the Stewart-Steven-
son, Vernon said they acquired
it for a secondary vehicle as the
military was giving it away. It
wasn’t designed to replace the
old brush truck.
When asked how often the
city uses the brush truck, both
Vernon and Lawrence said it
depends on the season, adding
that there are times when it’s
used 5-6 times a day during
brush season.
Vernon also noted that you
cannot haul as much equip-
ment on the military truck as
you can on a 1-1/2 ton pickup
as it was designed for hauling
troops.
“I believe it was inappropri-
ate to buy another brush truck
when we already had one, even
if it is a beast,” said Mitchem. “I
say we should surplus the new-
er one.”
Alderman Hull then asked
for a cost-benefit analysis on
both before making a decision.
Discussion then moved to
the two ladder trucks.
The department’s 55-foot
ladder truck is a 1984 model,
while their 95-foot ladder truck
is a 1985 model purchased for
$60,000 in 2009 from the city
of Osage Beach.
Vernon said the department
needed the 95 foot ladder truck
for its ISO rating.
“We have buildings we can’t
reach with the 55-foot truck,”
Vernon explained.
He also said they are the
only department that receives
ISO points for it, so no one else
wants it.
Typically the big ladder truck
is used for commercial fires
and the smaller one for resi-
dential fires as it is easier to
maneuver in residential areas.
However, both ladder trucks
were used in fighting the apart-
ment fire a number of years ago
on Jemphrey.
“Both trucks are also pump-

ers, which gains the city ISO
points,” Vernon added.
“We’re just looking at what
we have that can be liquidat-
ed,” said Alderman Partridge.
“I wouldn’t suggest getting
rid of anything we have be-
cause one thing backs up an-
other,” Vernon responded.
“When there’s one depart-
ment that has duplicative
equipment and another de-
partment that doesn’t have
what it needs, we need to do
something,” Partridge added.
“I wouldn’t call it duplicative
because we have to have back-
ups,” Vernon said.
Vernon did say he was of-
fered $250,000 just a month
ago for the 95-foot ladder truck
and said he was open to the
idea of selling both if he could
find an 85-foot ladder truck.
He did note that to buy the
95-foot ladder truck today
would cost $1.4 million new,
which is why it was purchased
used from Osage Beach. The
55-foot ladder truck was pur-
chased new 35 years ago.
Partridge then asked for
comparables for all of the de-
partment’s equipment.
“If I felt we didn’t need a
piece of equipment, or if it was
putting firefighters’ lives at risk
by using it, I’d say sell it,” Ver-
non noted.
“You’re probably the best
resourced department in the
city,” Partridge said. “Would
you agree?”
Vernon said yes, but because
of grants he has acquired over
the years. He noted that he has
obtained $2 million in grants
over the past 20 years, most
with a five percent local match.
“As a council, we’re looking
at resources across the board
and trying to evaluate,” Par-
tridge said.
Alderman Mitchem said he
appreciated the work the fire
department has done to ac-
quire grants and to flesh out
Tuscumbia Baptist Church
gets new bell tower
By Connie Wyrick
This year marks the 125th
anniversary of the Tuscumbia
Baptist Church, which was es-
tablished in 1895.
The big celebration set for
this month has been post-
poned, but one project in read-
iness for the celebration has
been completed.
Friday, May 22, Bo Alieksait-
es completed the new bell tow-
er for the bell at the church.
The bell was originally in the
Baptist church below the hill,
and when the church was built
in its present location, the bell
was placed on the church.
Recently, the front entrance
of the church was remodeled
due to water leak problems and
it was decided not to put the
bell back up on the roof. In-
stead, church officials decided
on a self-standing, pipe welded
bell tower.
In addition to Bo’s work,
Bob Sparks supplied the steel
and Phil Porter helped with the
concrete.

at
the department’s equipment.
Vernon then noted that his
first grant, in 2003, was for
$320,000, with the 10 percent
local match raised by the fire-
fighters association.
“It was a major undertaking,
but we did it for the benefit of
the city.” Vernon said. “And
our gear at the time was 20-25
years old.”
“The fire department is kind
of like an insurance company -
you hope you don’t have to use
it,” Vernon noted. “If our guys
don’t have the equipment to do
their job, what good is it?”
Alderman Atteberry then
pointed out that the city is ma-
jorly deficit in the general fund.
“If we have a duplicate of any-
thing we need to think about
it,” he said. “I’d rather keep
people than things.”
Alderman Hull then noted
that surplus property requests
have been given to all depart-
ment heads.
The council also discussed
how pay is determined for part-
time (volunteer) firefighters.
At present, Chief Vernon
uses a point system based on
training, response to calls,
community events (such as fire
safety week), etc.
The budget allocates
$20,000 for the year for volun-
teer firefighter pay, uniforms,
etc.
He submitted a breakdown
of pay for 14 firefighters total-
ing $5,000 for the first three
months of 2020, noting that
there had been just six training
sessions due to COVID-19.
One question related to the
tax ramifications of a point sys-
tem versus a flat per call rate
which could be listed as reim-
bursements for tax purposes.
Guthrie noted that under the
point system the per call rate
would vary, depending upon
the number of calls and re-
sponding firefighters during a
quarter.
Bo Alieksaites with new bell tower
Vernon noted that the de-
partment had gone to the point
system 18 years ago for ease of
budgeting.
“We need something pre-
dictable for the volunteers and
fire staff that is acceptable to
both and can be communicated
to the volunteers,” said Alder-
man Mitchem.
“Everybody calls them (vol-
unteers) part-time firefighters
because they have to have the
same training as the full-time
firefighters,” said Vernon.
“They’re basically professional
volunteers.”
The consensus was to have
Vernon and Guthrie work on an
agreeable, workable pay struc-
ture for the part-time firefight-
ers.
Project Prom
Guthrie also advised the
council that the high school
project prom event is planned
for Friday night, June 26 at
Allee Field on the high school
campus.
She just wanted the alder-
men to be aware in case they
received calls about the late-
night noise and lights.
The event is planned from
10:30 p.m. to 2 a.m.
Ballfield rental
The council briefly discussed
the need for an ordinance out-
lining rental fees for its ball-
fields.
Guthrie drafted a sample fee
structure based on the city of
Osage Beach, as a discussion
point.
She said a man had request-
ed to rent both ballfields at Ap-
person Park and two ballfields
at the Airpark for a tournament
the last weekend in May.
It was pointed out, however,
that per the health department
guidelines, no tournaments

CARES Act Notice
Nonpublic School Participation
in Services through the Corona-
virus Aide, Relief, and Economic
Security
(CARES) Act
Public School District Name
Public School District Address
Date Issued:
On March 27, 2020, President
Trump signed the Coronavirus
Aid, Relief and Economic Securi-
ty Act (CARES) Act into law. The
CARES Act is a $2 trillion relief
package to address the econom-
ic fallout related to the COVID-19
public health emergency.
Section 18003 makes funds
available from the Education Sta-
bilization Fund for grants to State
Education Agencies for elemen-
tary and secondary school emer-
gency relief.
Section 18005 of the Act pro-
vides that Local Education Agen-
cies (LEAs) receiving funds from
the Elementary and Secondary
School Emergency Relief Fund
must provide equitable services
to non-public schools as required
under section 1117 of the ESEA.
However, control of these funds
and title to materials, equipment
and property purchased with
such funds must remain with the
public school district, and be ad-
ministered by the public LEA.
Public school districts will need
to consult with non-public school
officials to determine how the
services will be provided to the
non-public schools.
Allowable Uses Applicable to
Non-Public Schools
1. Any activity authorized by the
ESEA of 1965, including;
• The Individuals with Disabil-
ities Education Act (20 U.S.C.
1400, et seq.) (“IDEA”),
• The Adult Education and Fam-
ily Literacy Act (34 U.S.C. 463, et
seq.),
• The Carl D. Perkins Career
and Technical Education Act of
2006 (20 U.S.C. 2301,
et seq.) (“the Perkins Act”), or
• Subtitle 8 of title VII of the
McKinney-Vento Homeless Assis-
tance Act (42 U.S.C.
11431, et seq.).
2. Coordinating the prepared-
ness and response efforts of lo-
cal educational agencies (LEAs)
with state and local public health
departments and other relevant
agencies to improve coordinated
responses among such entities to
prevent, prepare for and respond
to COVID-19.
3. Providing principals and
others school leaders with the re-
sources necessary to address the
needs of their individual schools.
4. Developing and implement-
ing activities to address the unique
needs of low-income children or
students, children with disabili-
ties, English learners, racial and
ethnic minorities, students experi-
encing homelessness, and foster
care youth through activities that
include how outreach and service
delivery will meet the needs of
each population.
5. Developing and implement-
ing procedures and systems to
improve the preparedness and re-
sponse efforts of LEAs.
6. Training and professional de-
velopment for LEA staff on sanita-
tion and minimizing the spread of
infectious diseases.
7. Purchasing supplies to sani-
tize and clean the facilities of the
LEA, including buildings operated
by such agency.
8. Planning for and coordinating
during long-term closures, includ-
ing how to:
• provide meals to eligible stu-
dents,
• provide technology for online
learning to all students,
• provide guidance for carrying
out requirements under the IDEA;
and,
• ensure other educational ser-
vices can continue to be provided
consistent with all federal, state
and local requirements.
9. Purchasing educational
technology (including hardware,
software and connectivity) for
students who are served by the
LEA that aids in regular and sub-
stantive educational interaction
between students and their class-
room instructors, including low-in-
come students and students with
disabilities, which may include
assistive technology or adaptive
equipment.
10. Providing mental health ser-
vices and supports.
11. Planning and implement-
ing activities related to summer
learning and supplemental after-
school programs, including pro-
viding classroom instruction or
online learning during the summer
months and addressing the needs
of low-income students, students
with disabilities, English learners,
migrant students, students expe-
riencing homelessness and chil-
dren in foster care.
The CARES Act funds are for
the 2019-20 school year and will
be available to LEAs for use until
September 30, 2022.
While the Missouri Depart-
ment of Elementary and Second-
ary Education has a number of
non- public schools registered for
participation in federal programs,
there may be additional nonpub-
lic schools that wish to receive an
equitable share of services fund-
ed by the CARES Act.-. Nonpub-
lic schools not registered with the
Missouri Department of Elemen-
tary and Secondary Education
(DESE) may contact the Federal
Programs Section to participate in
the CARES Act services.
It is important to note that the
non-public school will not receive
funds, but rather services from the
public school district.
If you choose to participate in
the services the CARES Act funds
offer, the Department will need
confirmation from the nonpublic
school of their wishes to partici-
pate as well as enrollment counts
and economic deprivation counts
BEFORE June 1, 2020.
If you have questions or con-
cerns, or to submit enrollment
counts please contact Julia Cow-
ell, Director of Federal Programs,
at Julia.cowell@dese.mo.gov or
Theresa Villmer, Equitable Ser-
vices Ombudsman for the State
of Missouri, at Theresa.villmer@

top honors, with a weight of
10.29 pounds. He also won
the big bass pot, landing the
biggest of the tournament at
3.67 pounds.
Faron Morris finished sec-
ond with a weight of 9.58
pounds. Despite incurring a
dead fish penalty, Jay Finch
finished third with a weight of
9.18 pounds and Jody Hughes

The Missouri Department
of Conservation (MDC) invites
the public to get hooked on
fishing through its Free Fishing
Days June 6 and 7. During Free
Fishing Days, anyone may fish
in the Show-Me State without
having to buy a fishing permit,
trout permit, or trout park dai-
ly tag. Free Fishing Days is an
annual MDC event that takes
place statewide during the Sat-
urday and Sunday following
the first Monday in June.
Aside from not needing per-
mits, other fishing regulations
remain in effect during Free
Fishing Days, such as limits on
size and number of fish an an-
gler may keep. Special permits
may still be required at some
county, city, or private fishing
areas. Trespass laws remain in
effect on private property.
MDC reminds anglers in
Missouri that fishing permits
are required before and after
June 6 and 7, unless an angler is
exempt by age or other factors.
All other fishing regulations
are also in effect. MDC tempo-
rarily suspended requirements
for fishing permits from March
27 through April 15.
Conservation makes Missou-
ri a great place to fish. Missouri
has more than a million acres
of surface water, and most of
it provides great fishing. More
than 200 different fish species
are found in Missouri, with
more than 20 of them being
game fish for the state’s more
than 1.1 million anglers. Learn
more about fishing in Missouri
at huntfish.mdc.mo.gov/fish-
ing.
For information on Missouri
fishing regulations, fish identi-
fication, and more, get a copy
of MDC’s 2020 Summary of
Missouri Fishing Regulations
where permits are sold, or on-
handing out letters and special
awards.

PROUDLY SUPPORTING Class of 2020!
OUR LOCAL EVENTS
it’s done.
This pandemic is the biggest challenge we’ve faced as a society in a century. And, you’ve been
caught up in it… in history right as it’s happening. 2020 will always be the year you graduated in the
middle of a pandemic: a year of trying to finish research and writing assignments while witnessing
millions mourn the safety of the world we’ve left behind.
I wish more than anything that we could assure you that massive shifts like the one happening
right now won’t happen again. History tells us otherwise. However, history also reminds us of how
we have prevailed in the face of overwhelming odds – how we’ve persevered, found incredible solutions and re-imagined life
anew. We will do so again in the years ahead; and we’ll do it with the help of your added insights and contributions.
The life ahead of you will always be one of transition and choices. Ask yourself now what your intention will be in this brave
new world that is taking shape all around you. Will you settle for an okay life or are you willing to fight for an abundant one?
Will you linger on the path of least resistance or do the hard work to create the home, community, country and world you want to
live in?
As you graduate and launch into your bold new life, I hope you’ll remember to radiate kindness and encouragement wherever
you go. The world has enough harshness, judgment and critics already. Take care of the people around you and give extravagant-
ly – of your time, your resources, your love. Your own world and the world around you will be infinitely better for it.
Surround yourself with people who will help you be the best, most-authentic version of yourself. If you don’t find them im-
mediately, keep looking! Your tribe will understand your inherent value and help you realize your dreams. When tough times
inevitably come, they will be invaluable to you.
Stay curious and keep learning. Remain open to new perspectives and be receptive to what you don’t know. That’s how you’ll
expand the reaches of your horizons. Your education is not limited to a classroom, but now encompasses all the people, places
and experiences along your path. Embrace them. Learn from them.
Be adaptable. You won’t be able to change the macro issues presenting themselves on the world stage, but you will be able to
control how you adapt to them and thrive in the midst of them. Your ability to succeed will be based on your resilience to change.
Practice gratefulness daily. Gratitude comes with perspective. I challenge you to seek out new and divergent experiences that
will change you for the better. For me, this came by volunteering and traveling in places where I saw everyday people like me
struggling with basic shelter, malnutrition and lack of healthcare. Those experiences led to deep gratitude for the resources I
had.
True gratitude leads us to give the best of what we have to others. John Danforth often said, “Our most valuable possessions
are those which can be shared without lessening; those which when shared multiply. Our least valuable possessions are those
which when divided are diminished.’
As you graduate, imagine what gifts you can give the world – something that’s relatively free, yet profound - that could multiply
when shared with those around you. It could be a powerful story, a stirring song or a groundbreaking idea. It could be a genuine
passion for helping others or the ability to unite those around you in a common cause. Don’t limit yourself or discount the change
you can create over the course of your life.
Precious people (outside your front door and halfway around the world) are waiting for the tremendous gifts you have inside
of you. Our world needs writers and researchers, economists and engineers, farmers and photographers, mechanics and nurses,
artists and accountants. Our world also desperately needs peacemakers and caretakers, change-makers and risk-takers. We
need problem solvers who are ready to take on big challenges in fields from natural resources to healthcare. Our communities
need those who will reach out a hand to help neighbors in need, those who will endeavor to lift up entire towns.
We’ve never ceased to dream of a better world, partly because we have you – educated and thoughtful students who are ready
and willing to embody the change that we all wish to see. As you venture forward, we know that you’ll bring every bit of your
energy, resourcefulness and talent to the table. Your courage and commitment helps foster our optimism of a kinder and more
compassionate future, a world incomprehensibly brighter than the one we find ourselves in today, a world brimming with hope.
Can you see it? Will you help us bring it into being? Will you join so many who are already creating a happier, healthier and
more just society? This is your invitation. I hope you’ll accept . . . and join the change-makers already at work in your midst.
Love and best wishes from a fellow graduate.
