SCHOOL OPENS MONDAY IN HOUSTON
School board adopts
strategic plan
Members of the Hous-
ton board of education
last week adopted a stra-
tegic plan that will guide
district learning and in-
teraction with patrons.
A new school year starts
Monday.
The approval comes
after conversations held
with the district’s em-
ployees, students and
members of the commu-
nity.
“We believe the strate-
gic plan brings renewed
focus, purpose and en-
thusiasm to our work of
preparing students to
succeed in their person-
alized path of learning
and growth,” wrote su-
perintendent Dr. Allen
Moss as a preamble to a
four-page document that
highlights the district’s
comprehensive school
improvement plan.
There are six primary
areas of focus.
Effective
teaching
and learning
Ensuring that class
structure —  size and as-
signment — is consistent
with program standards.
That includes doing a
bi-annual audit of every
course, class or program
of study. The district
will provide high qual-
ity career education and
learning that ensures
success among all gradu-
ates.
The district also will
implement evidence-
based instructional prac-
tices and put in place sev-
eral tiers of support that
addresses the academic,
emotional, behavioral,
social and physical needs
Gym nearly completed
Members of the Houston board of education last
Tuesday learned that construction of a new gymnasi-
um on campus is nearly complete.
As part of that, members finalized the center court
Tiger artwork, heard that staining of the floor will start
soon and that the remaining artwork will follow.
Dr. Allen Moss reported that sidewalk work, grass
seeding and a few final touches have been completed by
Gentry Construction Co. Inc., the project manager for
the 1,500-seat facility.

Darren Ice died due to a

district will follow policies
already in place. “There
seems to be some misun-
derstanding regarding the
discussions about CRT

SCHOOL BOARD HANDLES
PERSONNEL MATTERS
Personnel matters were handled last Tuesday by the
Houston board of education.
Here are the hiring decisions that were made:
nHired Greg Huffman as high school math teacher/bus
driver, Rodney Preheim, middle school assistant track
coach; Lindsey Vermillion, middle school softball head
coach; Tristan Leier as volunteer middle school football
coach.

that the policies in place
now (such as Board Policy
INB) are sufficient to al-
low the administration to
monitor and direct that,”
said Moss. “Regarding a
transgender policy there
is no intent to change pro-
cedures we have been fol-
lowing all along, Those
procedures mirror some
of the policies out there
already.  Some schools
choose to adopt a separate
policy, others do not. The
discussion is on whether
or not a policy needs to be
in place. I would encour-
age everyone to remem-
ber that the school board
makes a conscious  effort
to reflect the values of our
community. I would also
add if anyone has a ques-
tion regarding curricu-
lum or instruction please
reach out your child’s
teacher, the curriculum
director and/or the build-

nAgreed to hold a public
hearing on financing for

Bailey works as a

“She is cross trained

Hamilton explained
that Bailey oversees the
annual Mammography

year, which requires
detailed reporting and
record keeping. Bailey
holds an amazing record
of always passing the in-
spection with zero defi-

“Terri is always will-

St. John said the agree-

come from the sales tax,
should voters approve it.
St. John also asked for
an update on the planned
purchase of a F-250 truck
budgeted for the fire de-

he was told, is on order,
and delivery is hampered
by a worldwide shortage

Technical education classes now
offered at Houston High School
When classes begin
next week at the Hous-
ton School District it will
mark an expanded offer-
ing in technical educa-
tion with learning oc-
curring a short distance
away at the Piney River
Technical Center.
In partnership with
the City of Houston’s
Industrial Development
Authority and others in
the community, it marks
a big step for training
students in demand jobs
for today’s economy.
The health occupa-
tions program is expand-
ing under the leadership
of Jennifer Gunter. She
was preparing classroom
space and equipment
this week in advance of
14 high school students
in the preliminary class
and nine for an advanced
offering. Two of the larg-
est healthcare provid-
ers locally —  Houston
House and Texas County
Memorial Hospital —
have pitched in to help
on the project. Their
hope is that the classes
will introduce students
to available healthcare
careers and develop a la-
bor pool.
Gunter, a Houston na-
tive, said the program
is already paying divi-
dends. Some previous
students have jobs as
certified nurse aides at
Houston House. With the
launch of the new school
year, students will find
equipment filling the
building —  nearby are
beds with mannequins
— to expose pupils to a
medical setting.
Texas County COVID numbers
Texas County recorded
90 more positive COVID-19
cases and two deaths since

ty Health Department re-
ported Friday.
The Piney River Tech-
nical Center building
also houses a satellite

offers classes here and
The Durham Co., which
manufactures electrical
products and operates
in two other locations in
Houston.
Adam Vandiver, who
is returning to his native
roots to oversee a weld-
ing program, said his
neighbor in the building,
Durham, has been great
to help on the effort.
Vandiver, who moved
here after living in the
South, is returning to
the town where his fa-
ther, Brad, was raised.
His grandparents are
John and Diane Vandiv-
er of Houston. His aunt,
Wanda Ichord, is a long-
time school district em-
ployee at the elementary
school.
Vandiver has experi-
ence teaching welding
and working in the in-
dustry. He’s expecting 14
local students and oth-
ers from Summersville
School District. On Mon-
day, he gave a tour of
classrooms, equipment
and a shop area. Work-

work with industry lead-
ers and local  businesses
to ensure that our train-
ing will assist in filling
industry needs in Hous-

A $260,000 U.S. Depart-

ed earlier to the Houston
Industrial Development

funding went toward the
purchase of equipment
for the health services

To qualify for the
grant, the IDA provided
a $65,000 match. USDA
representative Emma
Hohenberger, who works
at a local district office,
was instrumental in the
process of obtaining the
grant.
The school district has
high hopes for the pro-

as camping, knot tying and first aid, and developed
other skills including rifle marksmanship, surviv-

SHERIFF
The following are excerpts from just some of the
reports recently generated by the Texas County
Sheriff’s Department:
nA 27-year-old Salem man reported on Aug. 5 that his
1993 Ford F-150 pickup valued at $1,500 had been stolen.
The man told a deputy that the truck had been being
worked on by a man at a Monty Drive location in Lick-
ing and the man had told him it was swiped on Aug.
4. The truck was found by the Missouri State Highway
Patrol on Aug. 4 after being wrecked on Highway 137
north of Raymondville. A trooper said there was no-
body at the crash scene.
There are no suspects.
nA deputy was dispatched at about 11:20 p.m. Aug. 5
regarding a report of possible arson at a Vollmar Drive
residence at Raymondville.
A 59-year-old woman there said she looked out her
kitchen window and saw that her house’s deck was
burning. She said there was electric outlet where the
fire was located and she thought she heard footsteps
before she saw it.
The woman told a deputy she and neighbor were
able to extinguish the blaze. Siding was also reportedly
damaged.
There are no suspects.
nA 52-year-old Plato woman reported on Aug. 6 that
her 32-year-old son had thrown a rock and damaged the
windshield of her van at her Verbena Drive residence.
The woman told an investigating officer she wanted
to pursue charges. The officer patrolled the area but
didn’t find the man.
A report was sent to the county prosecutor.
nA deputy was dispatched July 22 regarding a re-
port of a stolen vehicle at a Lawrence Lane residence
at Cabool.
A 43-year-old man there told the officer his 77-year-
old father’s 1995 Toyota pickup valued at $3,500 had
been swiped. The man named several temporary farm
hands as potential suspects.

To the editor:
I read in the Aug. 5 is-

ald where starting in
November, the City of
Houston will be adding
$5.90 monthly for two
years to our residential
utility bill to help recov-
er the cost of a surge in
wholesale electrical cost
during the month of Feb-
ruary due to the extreme
weather conditions.
I, as well as many oth-
ers in the City of Hous-

uses propane for their
heating source during
the winter months. It is
unfair that we be charged
the same amount as a

many more kilowatts. We
paid the price for addi-

our electrical consump-

The archive will include
documents and visual re-
sources that represent the
history and cultural heri-
tage of the region, includ-
ing materials written by
and about Missourians,
according to Dr. Jason
McCollom, associate pro-
fessor of history at MSU-
WP and one of center’s
advisory committee mem-
bers.
“The OHRC will be a
place where instructors
can bring their students
to teach them research
skills, to study Ozarks cul-
ture and history, and to
explore the ways in which
an archive functions,” Mc-
Collom explained. “It also
will provide one-of-a-kind
materials to the public.
“In addition, the collec-
tions will aid faculty and
staff seeking local and
regional materials for a
variety of projects, pre-
sentations or grant oppor-
tunities, and scholars and
academics from across
the nation researching a
variety of Ozarks topics
will find primary sources
and archival materials to
inform their publications,
studies and projects,” he
added.
“Ultimately, we hope
the OHRC will become
a one-of-a-kind hub in
the region for creating a
documentable and usable
past of our area, promote
educational resources,
and sponsor speakers
and workshops,” he ex-
plained.
 
WHAT IT WILL
CONTAIN
The center’s integrated
collection will feature
monographs, manu-
scripts, archival pieces,
photographs, pamphlets,
maps, prints, audiovisual
and musical pieces, and
other selected memorabil-
ia donated to the univer-
sity, McCollom said.
Geographically, the
contents will encompass
Butler, Carter, Crawford,
Dent, Douglas, Howell,
Iron, Oregon, Ozark,
Phelps, Reynolds, Ri-
pley, Shannon, Texas,
Washington, Wayne and
Wright counties in Mis-
souri, McCollom said.
Some selectively acquired
pieces from the Arkansas
Ozarks regions also will
be included, he added.
What it will not do is
replace other well-estab-
lished historical collec-
tions in the region. “The
center will be one of the
few archival repositories
in the region —  one piece
of the broader cultural
and historical mosaic in
the southeast Missouri
Ozarks,” he said. “For in-
stance, the West Plains

wealth of genealogical
resources, thus the cen-

logical records. Instead,

ployees from their cur-
rent assignments and re-
sponsibilities in order to

to family histories and ge-
nealogical research.
“In other words, the
center will not replace the
local historical reposito-
ries, it will complement
them,” he said.
 
A LONG-HELD
DESIRE COMES
TO FRUITION
            
The desire to preserve
this region’s history and
culture is not a new one.
Frank Priest, MSU-WP
English professor and
center advisory commit-
tee member, said commu-
nity members and area
scholars have worked for
years to keep the region’s
history and culture intact.
“I first became aware of
the efforts in 1996 while
working in the Garnett
Library to classify and
catalogue the Ozarks
Oral History Project tapes
from Carol Silvey’s his-
tory classes. In addition
to Silvey’s project, many
books, journals and other
writings pertaining to the
Ozarks were held in the
library, most circulating
through the general col-
lection,” he explained.
Interest in Ozarks stud-
ies grew stronger locally
with the addition of the
university’s Ozarks Stud-
ies Symposium, originally
led by Assistant Professor
of English Leigh Adams,
and the annual publica-
tion of “Elder Mountain:
A Journal of Ozarks Stud-
ies,” led by Professor of
English Dr. Craig Albin,
Priest said.
With the release of his
own book, “Yonder Moun-
tain: An Ozarks Anthol-
ogy” from the University
of Arkansas Press in 2013,
Priest said he pushed uni-
versity officials to create
an Ozarks-based resource
center on the MSU-WP
campus. He submitted a
formal proposal for the
creation of the OHRC in
February that same year
after consulting with his
fellow English faculty
members Adams, Albin
and Professor of English
Dr. Phillip Howerton.
Other faculty and com-
munity members also
took up the cause. Among
them were Silvey and Dr.
Ed McKinney, both of
whom are former history
professors at MSU-WP;
librarians Rebekah McK-
inney and Neva Parrott;
Interim Chancellor Den-
nis Lancaster; and Kath-
leen Morrissey, one of the
founders of the Old-Time
Music, Ozarks Heritage
Festival in West Plains.
Silvey, who currently
serves on the MSU Board
of Governors, is thrilled
the center is finally com-
ing together. “The OHRC
is a project that is dear to
my heart because it pre-
serves Ozark culture,”
she said. “Our culture is
unique and worthy of pro-
tection and sharing.

history students from the

preserved and could be

ing in far off places who
are interested in cultural
tourism,” she explained.
“This addition will fur-
ther enrich the services
provided by the univer-
sity to our community, re-
gion and even the world.”
 
TRILLIUM TRUST
JOINS THE CAUSE
Earlier this year, the ef-
fort received another gen-
erous boost when officials
with Trillium Trust, a
non-profit corporation in
West Plains, handed over
their Unlock the Ozarks
and Bryant Creek Water-
shed Projects to the uni-
versity to use as a virtual
component in the center.
With a mission to “help
support and sustain the
Ozarks spirit,” Trillium
Trust utilizes its funds to
promote the area’s his-
tory, as well as provide
opportunities that en-
courage economic devel-
opment.
“We felt that, with the
longevity of the univer-
sity and its student base,
these long-term projects
were better served in the
hands of the university
and the Ozarks Heritage
Resource Center,” said
Trillium Trust Executive
Director Jim McFarland.
Both projects use web-
sites to promote active
learning and place-based
education. Established
in 1996, the Bryant Creek
Watershed Project com-
bines educational tech-
nology, classroom teach-
ing and hands-on experi-
ence to help school-age
children connect to the
place they live. The web-
site includes a variety of
projects teachers can use
to help students learn
about the area’s water-
sheds, history, folkways,
farms, forests, schools
and communities.
Due to a lack of funding,
the project went dormant
in 2009, but in 2013, with
the blessing of its board
of directors, the project’s
mission was expanded
by a new group of inves-
tors that included local

not appropriate the funds

ference.
“It’s not something you
can just flip on the switch

erybody in the next day
residents Colin and Les-
lie Collins, and Trillium
Trust was born.
 
NEW PROJECT
HELPS UNLOCK
THE OZARKS
Unlock the Ozarks was
one of Trillium Trust’s
first initiatives. Developed
conceptually by local
resident Edward Boys as
part of an activity at the
Old-Time Music, Ozarks
Heritage Festival, the
project helps natives and
newcomers alike better
understand the nature of
this place and its people
through a quick response
(QR)-driven website.
Through the project,
keyhole-shaped placards
with QR codes have been
placed at some of the ar-
ea’s most historical and
significant sites, such as
the Howell County Court-
house, MSU-WP’s Kellett
Hall, the original Ozark
Cafe on Washington Av-
enue and the area on East
Main Street where the
West Plains Dance Hall
Explosion took place.
When the QR code is
scanned with a smart-
phone, the website opens
in the phone’s internet
browser to information
about the location.
“The project is designed
to be a digital repository
for the history, culture
and natural beauty of the
Ozarks that presents the
information in a modern
and engaging manner,”
according to a description
of the project on its web-
site, unlocktheozarks.org.
“It’s a blending of tradi-
tional Ozarks storytelling
and modern technology.”
“We believe a signifi-
cant piece of the Ozarks
is about the stories,” Mc-
Farland said. “It is said
that, when someone dies,
it is like a library burning
down. Through Unlock
the Ozarks, at least some
of these stories can be
preserved through audio,
video and text.
“All of us at Trillium
Trust believe that Unlock
the Ozarks is one of the
best ways we can show
off the history of our area
and help our children
take more pride in who
they are and where they
come from,” he added.
McCollom said the
OHRC’s website will have

riety of other materials
available electronically,
including scanned docu-
ments and digital record-
ings, such as Silvey’s
Ozarks Oral Histories
Project audiotapes.
 
LIBRARY A
PERFECT LOCATION
When officials began
looking for a location for
the OHRC, the Garnett
Library was the obvious
choice, Director of Li-
brary Services Rebekah
McKinney said.
“Libraries are institu-
tions that look at pre-
serving the written and
spoken word for future
generations, and the li-
brarian heralds this as a
passionate cause. Historic
preservation is important
in the fact that it allows us
to safeguard our heritage
for generations to come
and supports the social,
educational and cultural
well-being of our commu-
nity,” she said.
“By creating the OHRC
and hosting it in the Gar-
nett Library, we are con-
tinuing the task we, as
librarians, were given
and the one we are most
passionate about. We look
at this as an opportunity
not only to preserve our
heritage, but also to draw
in those who enjoy the
Ozarks and all it stands
for,” she added.
Even though the center
has not been announced
officially until now, McK-
inney said they already
are receiving items to in-
clude. “It is already start-
ing to draw donations of
books and items that will
be more widely used and
visible to the community
and those from outside
the region. Culturally,
our community is richer
for having these tangible
items for everyone to see,”
she said.

tions will soon begin on
the library’s lower level.
Although there is no firm
timeline for completion
of the renovations, they
anticipate the center will
open sometime in 2022.
“When it is operational,
visitors, researchers and
the public will have ac-
cess to most of the cen-
ter’s holdings,” McCollom
said.
“Our main goal at this
early point is to finalize
construction of the center
and house materials col-
lected to date,” he added.
“In the future, in addition
to operating a full-service
regional archive, we will
integrate the center into
student instruction in a
variety of disciplines on
campus, host student and
community tours, connect
the center more intently
with the annual Ozarks
Studies Symposium, and
continue to acquire pri-
mary sources that docu-
ment the region.”
McKinney hopes area
students, educators and
community members
take full advantage of the
OHRC’s resources when it
opens.
“I would like to see fac-
ulty create assignments
requiring the use of these
primary sources that will
be part of this collection.
In bringing classes to the
center, not only from the
university, but also sur-
rounding schools, we will
draw attention to the cam-
pus as the place to be to
start one’s higher educa-
tion career. Making this a
place for scholars to come
and conduct research in
one centralized location
will draw attention and
tourism to the city of West
Plains and surrounding
community in a positive
manner,” she said.
 
HOW TO
DONATE ITEMS
Area residents who
have historical materi-
als —  written, visual or
physical —  they would
like considered for the
center’s holdings should
contact the Garnett Li-
brary at 417-255-7945 for
more information.
“If a community mem-
ber’s materials are ac-
cepted, they will need to
complete a deed of gift
form and/or a gift in kind
form, both of which will
be found in the forthcom-
ing OHRC website or, in
the meantime, from Gar-
nett Library staff,” Mc-
Collom said.
McCollom stressed the
OHRC wouldn’t be pos-
sible without the support
of many at the university
and in the community.
“The Ozarks Heritage
Resource Center advisory
committee members are
excited to see this endeav-
or come to fruition after
many years of planning.
We want to thank every-
one involved and extend
our appreciation to the
Missouri State Universi-
ty-West Plains and West
Plains communities for
their support,” he said.

HHS volleyball team sets sights on successful run in 2021
By DOUG DAVISON
Houston Herald

F
or the past couple
of seasons, youth
has been one of
the primary characteris-
tics of the Houston High
School volleyball team.
But in 2021, it’s now more about expe-
rienced upperclassmen, as the Lady Ti-
gers’ roster features seven seniors and
eight juniors. The group got a taste of
success last year, as Houston rode a late-
season hot streak (including five straight
wins in conference games) to finish 12-11
overall, marking the first time the squad
had posted a record over .500 since 2010.
“The girls and coaches have high ex-
pectations for this season,” said head
coach Loran Richardson (in her sixth
season leading the program). “We ended
the season really strong last year and
had a great summer. This has given the
girls confidence going into this year.
“I expect us to be competing for the
conference and district titles and we
have a great chance of succeeding. We’ve
got to compete day in and day out, both
in practice and games, in order to reach
that goal.”
The Lady Tigers have all of last sea-
son’s starters returning. Helping lead
the way in 2021 are senior Hannah Dzu-
rick at setter (who earned first team All-
Conference and All-District recognition),
junior Olivia Crites at middle hitter (sec-
ond team All-District and All-Confer-
ence honorable mention) and sophomore
Angie Smith at left outside hitter (second
team All-Conference and All-District).
“All three have had great summers
and I expect them to be even better this
year,” Richardson said. “Hannah is such
a smart setter, while Angie and Olivia are
quick on offense and are hard to stop.”
Senior Mali Brookshire (second team
All-Conference in 2020) returns as Hous-

ton’s libero. “She has already improved
her quickness on defense,” Richardson
said, “and she solidifies our passing
game.”
At almost 6-feet tall, senior Sarah Pur-
cell returns at right outside hitter.
“She looked strong this summer and is
a big block on the right side,” Richardson
said. “She has taken her motivation and
attitude to a new level and I expect it to
reflect on the court.”
Sophomore Kelsey Pritchett, another
6-footer, will once again patrol the mid-
dle, along with the 5-10 Crites.
“Kelsey has looked so strong all sum-
mer at the net and will definitely intimi-
date some of our opponents,” Richard-
son said.
Junior setter Aliyah Walker sustained
a hand injury at the beginning of the
summer and is working her way back
to 100-percent, while senior Mackenzie
Holder is back to share outside hitter du-
ties after missing part of the 2020 season
with a knee injury.
“Aliyah is a quick setter on the court
for us,” Richardson said, “and I expect
Mackenzie to return looking as strong as
she did pre-injury.”
Junior Makenzi Arthur is moving up
from JV for the Lady Tigers.
“She played setter for us all summer
but is a great outside hitter,” Richardson
said, “and I expect her to have a breakout
junior season.”
HOUSTON HERALD n Thursday, Aug. 19, 2021
DOUG DAVISON | HOUSTON HERALD
Other players who Richardson expects
to play important roles are junior Log-
ynn Foster (a transfer from Mountain
Grove) and senior defensive specialists
Paige Dennis and Jordyn Lay. Senior Lili
Amick recently had knee surgery.
“But she’s still a senior leader for us,”
Richardson said.
Four other juniors could see some time
off the bench: Mackenzie Bryan, Madi
Reed, Gracie Tottingham and Jazmine
Johnson.
“We have a lot of depth,” Richardson
said. “I feel confident that I could put
any of these girls in and it would be a
seamless transition.”
Richardson looks forward to coach-
ing a team with players she’s raised for
a long time.
“Experience is a big strength for us
this year,” she said. “We return all of
our starters and they’ve each improved
in different ways. They’ve matured and
have learned how to handle tough situ-
ations in a better way. I’m proud of the
way they have mentored each other and
the underclassmen so far this year.
“It’s only going to get better from
here.”
Houston will take part in a preseason
jamboree next Thursday (Aug. 26) at Ca-
bool, also including Willow Springs. The
Lady Tigers open the campaign Tues-
day, Aug. 31 with a home game against
county rival Licking.
With talent and experience not lack-
ing, Richardson sees attitude as a key to
her team reaching its goals.
“We’ve got to stay focused on improv-
ing and fighting each day,” she said. “If
we get caught up in worrying about little
things or getting complacent, we won’t
be where we need to be. These girls do
a great job supporting each other and
pushing each other on the court. If we
continue with that mindset, we will put
ourselves in a great position.”
Dzurick enters the season following
the recent loss of her father, Jon.
“We want to continue to ask people to
pray for Hannah and the Dzurick family
as we rally around them this season,”
Richardson said.

INSIDE THIS WEEK’S EDITION
OF THE HOUSTON HERALD:
nHouston School District rolls out long-range plan
nHouston's new fire truck placed into service
nHHS volleyball team prepares for 2021 season
Missouri celebrates 200th birthday
The August sun beat
down on those gathered
last Tuesday to celebrate
Missouri’s 200th birth-
day, but a breeze relieved
some of the intensity,
and the crowd appeared
content.
“Thank God for
breeze!” the Rev. Robert
Kurwicki proclaimed
from a podium on the
steps of the state Capi-
tol, as he readied his
opening prayer to mark
the occasion — the 200th
anniversary of Missouri
becoming a state.
The morning obser-
vance kicked off a day
of events across the
capital city, including a
naturalization ceremony
for new citizens, an ice
cream social and a tree
dedication.
The Missouri Nation-
al Guard 135th Army
Band was on hand to
play patriotic tunes and
the Missouri Choral
Directors Association
All-State Festival Choir
treated the crowd to stir-
ring performances of
songs such as “We Shall
Overcome” and “Lift Ev-
ery Voice and Sing.”
Dignitaries, including
all current state office-
holders in Jefferson City,
were present. Former
U.S. Sen. Jean Carnahan
and son, former U.S. Rep.
Russ Carnahan, were
spotted in the crowd.
Gary Kremer, execu-
tive director of the Mis-
souri State Historical
Society, recalled how
Missouri became a state.
“Two hundred years
ago today, on Aug. 10,
1821, President James
Monroe signed a bill rec-
ognizing Missouri as the
24th state in the union,”
Kremer said. “This ac-
tion represented the
culmination of activi-
ties and debates that had
been going on for nearly
four years.
“A critical issue in
those debates, I’m sure
you know, was whether
Missouri was going to
come in as a slave state,
or as a free state,” Kre-
mer said. “Ultimate-
ly a compromise was
reached allowing Maine
to come in as a free state
and Missouri as a slave
state.”
He said an “enduring
consequence” of that
“has been to make race
relations a central theme
of Missouri history.”
“A major reason that
it took us so long to be-
come a state is that we
Missourians quarreled
with the federal govern-
ment, even threatening

We’ve got solutions!

Postal Service celebrates the state’s bicentennial with a new stamp. It was unveiled
last week in Jefferson City.
to secede from it before
we had actually joined
it,” Kremer said.
“A basic source of our
unhappiness with the
federal government then
and now was that we
Missourians don’t want
the federal government
telling us what to do,”
Kremer said to applause.
He said early immi-
grants were brought
to Missouri because of
“faith and hope, mostly
— the prospect of a life
better than the one they
were living east of the
Mississippi River or in
Europe.”
He said farmers were
“lured” to Missouri by
the “prospect of rich
farmland that they could
easily acquire on credit.
“They saw Missouri
as a place of promise,”
Kremer said. “Pio-
neers’ lives were hard
and harsh. The dangers
they faced were great,
but they persisted. They
stuck it out. And they
laid the groundwork for
the lives we live today.”
He said the world Mis-
sourians have inherited
is “complex,” and that
Missourians over 200
years have “become a
complicated, diverse,
interesting people num-
bering more than 6 mil-
lion.
“There still remain
among us some 27,000
people who are descen-
dants of the original in-
digenous peoples who
were here long before
there was a Missouri,”
Kremer said.
Missouri Supreme
Court Chief Justice Paul
Wilson also delivered re-
marks to the crowd.
“There have been times
that showed the best of

submit an application for free and reduced price meals to the district for processing. Free and
reduced data is used to help maintain meal count system requirements, report to the Department
of Elementary and Secondary Education for funding formulas, and establish eligibility for other
benefits, particularly Pandemic Electronic Benefits Transfer (P-EBT) and Emergency Broadband
Benefit. Houston R-1 School District announced its revised free and reduced price policy for
school children offered meals in schools under the National School Lunch Program and the
Local education officials have adopted the following family-size income criteria for determining

Children from families whose current income is at or below those shown are eligible for free or
reduced price meals. Applications are available at the school office. To apply, fill out a Free and
Reduced Price School Meals Family Application and return it to the school. The information
provided on the application is confidential and will be used only for the purpose of determining
eligibility. Applications may be submitted any time during the school year. A complete
application is required as a condition of eligibility. A complete application includes: (1)
household income from all sources or Food Stamp/TANF case number, (2) names of all
household members, and (3) the signature and last four digits of social security number or
indication of no social security number of adult household member signing the application.
School officials may verify current income at any time during the school year.
Foster children may be eligible regardless of the income of the household with whom they
reside.
If a family member becomes unemployed or if family size changes, the family should contact
the school to file a new application. Such changes may make the children of the family eligible
for these benefits.
Households will be notified of their children’s eligibility status for free or reduced price meals.
If any children were not listed on the eligibility notice for families receiving SNAP, TANF or
FDPIR, the household should contact the school to have free meal benefits extended to those
children.
If any child(ren) was not listed on the eligibility notice, the household should contact the LEA
or school to have free meal benefits extended to that child(ren).
Under the provisions of the policy, the Food Service Director will review the applications and
determine eligibility. If a parent is dissatisfied with the ruling of the determining official, they
may wish to discuss the decision with the hearing official on an informal basis or he/she may
make a request either orally or in writing to the Building Principal.
Hearing procedures are outlined in the policy. A complete copy of the policy is on file in each
school and in the central office where any interested party may review it.

MU Extension horticulturist
searches for rare Ozark butterfly
University of Missouri
Extension horticultur-
ist Kelly McGowan is on
the hunt for the elusive
Ozark woodland swallow-
tail, a pollinator unique
to the Ozark region of
southern Missouri and
northern Arkansas.
McGowan works on a
research project at the
Roston Native Butterfly
House at  Springfield Bo-
tanical Gardens. She be-
gan scouting for the but-
terfly in 2018. While rare
enough to appear on the
Missouri Department of
Conservation’s Species
of Concern list, it likely
still lives deep in Ozark
forests.
J. Richard Heitzman
founded a Ozark wood-
land swallowtail re-
search program after he
discovered the butterfly
in the 1970s. According to
the Butterflies and Moths
of North America  proj-
ect, the most recent sight-
ings occurred in 2017 in
Morgan County and in
Benton County in 2011.
McGowan says the but-
terfly is almost impossi-
ble to tell from its cousin,
the black swallowtail,
which has a similar wing
pattern and coloring.
Only a DNA test can posi-
tively distinguish the two
species.
While the black swal-
lowtail prefers open
meadows, the Ozark

in the 1970s. Since 2018,
Riley and McGowan have
placed host plants in ce-

— Thank You —
We, the family of Ian Edward Heath, are overwhelmed by the sup-
port we received during Ian’s fight with the COVID-19 virus, and our
loss of him.
The heartfelt words of comfort, calls, texts, beautiful cards, gifts of
food, supplies, money and flowers are so much appreciated and cher-
ished.
The staff at Evans Funeral Home guided us through a flawlessly
orchestrated funeral process. Under their direction, videos and online
services are available to family and friends who could not attend. D &
L Florist staff even went out and picked some flowers we had asked for.
Thank you to Lonnie Barton and his staff for all the work they did
for us at the Friendship Cemetery.
We also express our gratitude to the members of the First Baptist
Church in Houston for providing a wonderful bereavement dinner for
us and those who had traveled from distant places.
Pastor Terry Webster and Mike Stilley, we thank you for the very
personal and touching sentiments and Love you both expressed for Ian
and All of our family and friends during services.
Our hearts are broken and our prayers are sent to all families experi-
encing loss due to this horrible disease.
