The Holt County Commission met Monday, 

January 25, 2010, at 9:00 a.m., with 

Presiding Commissioner Mark Sitherwood, 

First District Commissioner Bill 

Gordon and Second District Commissioner 

Don Holstine present. 

After review, Commissioner Holstine 

made a motion to accept the minutes as 

written by County Clerk Kathy J. Kunkel. 

The motion was seconded and approved. 

Brenda Nelson, R.N., Health Department 

Administrator, met with the Commission 

to discuss a survey required 

by the Community Development Block 

Grant application. CDBG funds were used 

to build the Courthouse Annex building 

that houses the health department and 

University Extension offices. A survey of 

clients is required by the grant for two 

years. Mrs. Nelson requested assistance 

in cleaning the new annex building. Commissioners 

instructed Mrs. Nelson to purchase 

cleaning supplies and they would 

look into maintenance and cleaning needs 

in the future. 

Treasurer Gay Quick presented the annual 

settlement of funds to the County 

Commission for the year ending December 

31, 2009. 

County Clerk Kathy J. Kunkel presented 

the 2010 Annual Budget of Holt County. 

Mrs. Kunkel read the Budget Message and 

reviewed the final figures for all on-budget 

funds. Commissioner Holstine made a motion 

to adopt the budget and appropriate 

the funds. The motion received a second 

and was approved. 

Jerri Dearmont, Northwest Regional 

Council of Governments, met with the 

Commissioners to discuss work at the 

Courthouse Annex building. Final work 

is scheduled for the spring, when weather 

will permit dirt and concrete work.

books through the GIS system. She is selling 

advertising for the plat book with plans 

to have new books by early summer. 

Road and Bridge Supervisor, Daryl Biermann, 

met with the Commissioners to give 

an update on county roads. Recent freeze 

and thaw cycles have left roads muddy 

with melting snow continuing to cause 

soft spots in the roadways. 

Sheriff Scott Wedlock appeared before 

the Commission to give an update on the 

potential move of the probation and parole 

office from the sheriff’s office space. 

Ed Helsel, Helsel Design and Construction 

Services, St. Joseph, joined the Commissioners 

to review the hail storm roof repairs 

and work at the annex building. Mr. 

Helsel provided a lien waiver for $90,000 

for materials and labor for the Road and 

Bridge Barn in Oregon, the sheriff’s office, 

jail and small buildings on the courtyard. 

Commissioners approved a partial payment 

for that work which is complete. 

Circuit Clerk and Ex Officio Recorder 

of Deeds, Vicki Book, appeared before the 

Commission to discuss the rate of pay for 

her deputy, Theresa Weber. Mrs. Weber 

works forty hours per week at a rate of 

$8.49 per hour or annual salary of $17,655. 

Ms. Book noted that the hourly rate is less 

than other courthouse deputies. Commissioner 

Sitherwood noted that her yearly 

salary is more than many other deputies 

with similar tenure. The commissioners 

took no action on a request by Ms. Book to 

increase Mrs. Weber’s wage. 

Mick Derr, Derr Insurance Services, 

Maitland, approached the Commission 

to review Medicare Supplemental Insurance. 

Being no further business, Commissioner 

Sitherwood adjourned the meeting until 

Monday, February 1, 2010, at 9:00 a.m.

wild boars that Ted harvested on their 

hunt in Texas. This boar had four inch long 

tusks. 

Wild boar 

hunt 

Royce Clement, Maitland, MO, David 

Thurnau, Maryville, MO, and Ted Gibbler, 

Independence, MO, recently took part in a 

wild boar hunt in Texas. 

Royce has been on these hunts many 

times in the past decade. Sometimes, the 

hunters may go twice in a year. The three 

men were part of a guided hunt in rough 

country near Washington, TX. 

“The land there looks like the Bad Lands, 

with all the red clay,” remarked Royce. 

The group hunted at night by the light of 

the moon sitting in a blind waiting on the 

hogs to come to the baited stand. Hunters 

sometimes would begin their hunt as early 

as four o’clock in the afternoon and stay 

there until three or four in the morning. 

The hogs, Russian wild boars, are very 

territorial and can become agitated if they 

smell the hunters. 

The three day hunting trip yielded three 

wild hogs for Royce, with 10 being harvested 

in all. The meat is used like regular 

pork and is said to be quite tasty.

Letters to the Editor 

Dear Editor, 

I suspect that there is or has been a conspiracy to deny senior 

citizens their rightful and lawful cost of living (COLA) increase 

for the year 2010. I suspect this conspiracy involves the consumers’ 

price index (CPI), the social security administration (SSA), 

Congress and our President. I believe that because of the high 

cost of the bailout, that the CPI was influenced to manipulate 

the cost of living figures to reflect a negative inflation situation. I 

have written and faxed letter after letter after letter to my senators 

and representatives showing irrefutable proof of the higher 

costs of living in 2009, but to no avail. Senator Bond sent five 

generic letters in reply, all saying exactly the same thing. Sam 

Graves sent two generic letters and McCaskill did not reply. 

I wrote letters and faxed letters to each congressional member 

of the Social Security subcommittee- no response. That tells me 

they don’t want to hear the truth. Who are we low to moderate 

income senior citizens to listen to? After all, we don’t contribute 

much to compaign funds. But the big bank and insurances bosses- 

the automaker bosses, the Wall Street and union bosses- do, 

to the tune of millions of dollars. Guess who gets favored? Why, 

of course it’s the big bosses who failed miserably at their jobs. So 

they were rewarded with billions of dollars. No doubt, I suspect, 

in exchange for millions in campaign contributions. 

HOO-RAY the day is saved! For what? For higher taxes to pay 

for all the bailouts, bonuses and pork projects of the favorite 

Congress people. Years and years of taxes- HALLELUJAH! Render 

unto Caesar the things that are Caesar’s (Matthew 22:21). 

Seems like in this case, it will be rendered unto the big bosses 

so they can live high at our expense and we, low to moderate 

income seniors, get the short end of the stick. 

Our President, in his long winded state of the union speech, 

recently acknowledged that the cost of living was rising on everything. 

Was that a slip of the tongue or what? It only reinforces 

my suspicions of conspiracy to rob our senior citizens of 

our just and lawful cost of living increase to have more money 

to pay bonuses, perks and exorbitant salaries to those who failed 

in business. 

Just a few examples of the rising cost of living (or negative 

inflation as Senator Bond calls it): propane gas tripled in 2008 

and 2009, I think the CPI conveniently missed that; electricity 

up by 16.14%; vehicle insurance up 10+%; gasoline up dramatically. 

These must have snuck by the CPI in their quest for “negative” 

inflation. It’s no secret to most of us that canned fruits and 

vegetables are much higher in price as well as fresh fruits and 

vegetables along with all the other necessities of life. 

What is all this? Scam? Sham? My dictionary says that a sham 

is that which is designed to deceive, a trick or fraudulent device. 

I think that describes the whole affair. Don’t you? Wouldn’t it be 

proper to write, call, fax or email your congressman expressing 

contempt for the way the whole matter has been handled? Then, 

keep it up until you receive an answer that scratches the itch for 

honesty, fairness, integrity and equality. 

Respectfully, 

Warren Morris 

Dear Editor, 

Just as the effects of a 

challenging economy are felt 

by families in every community, 

cancer, too, has a farreaching 

impact. No matter 

how the stock market is performing 

or what the current 

unemployment rate may be, 

there are still many people 

battling a cancer diagnosis 

and many others who are 

lending support alongside 

loved ones every day. These 

realities make the dollars 

donated and volunteer hours 

devoted to the American 

Cancer Society through Relay 

for Life of Holt County, 

a part of Holt County for 9 

years, critically important. 

Local volunteers are a huge 

part of a nationwide effort to 

After August, 2010 every subscriber 

should be on a January, 2011 due date. 

save lives from cancer, but 

additional people are needed 

for the progress to continue. 

Plans are under way for the 

society’s annual fundraiser, 

Relay For Life, which will be 

held on the Oregon Square 

in June. This will be the 

10th year that Karen Cotton 

has been the chairperson 

for this event...along with 

the MANY volunteers that 

help her in numerous ways. 

The money raised at Relay 

For Life (approximately 

$150,000 in our 9 years!) enables 

the American Cancer 

Society to deliver on its mission 

of helping people stay 

well, helping people get well, 

finding cures and fighting 

back against the disease. 

Now is the time for individuals, 

families, community 

groups, corporations and 

small businesses to commit 

their Relay For Life team 

participation. We need more 

teams and we need more 

businesses to be corporate 

sponsors. It’s easy and it’s 

fun. Join us at this event to 

celebrate those who have 

battled cancer, remember 

those lost, fight back against 

the disease and help the 

American Cancer Society 

realize its vision of a world 

with less cancer and more 

birthdays. 

To sign up, participate or 

learn how you may volunteer,

News from Tiffany Heights 

The week started off 

with a session of “Did You 

Know?”. Residents learned 

many interesting facts 

about this month. Some 

are common knowledge 

and others are less known. 

For instance, did you know 

that there is a Man Day? It 

is a day that celebrates the 

men of the world. It is held 

annually the Sunday before 

Valentine’s Day. Do you 

suppose that has anything 

to do with the Super Bowl? 

There is also a National 

Kraut and Frankfurter 

Week, a Personal Chef Day 

and many more interesting 

and unique days. 

Monthly Resident Council 

was held on Tuesday 

afternoon. This month, 

residents chose to change 

their favorite meal day to 

the 12th in celebration of 

Sweethearts’ Luncheon. 

This year, six sets of married 

couples will be at the 

luncheon, including Mary 

and George Wilson, Ruth 

and Clinton Swymeler, Lucyle 

and Max Benne, Genevieve 

and John Grabel, 

Virginia and Harold Eller 

and Dorothy and Bob Gilland. 

Residents chose Jamie 

Johnson as Employee 

of the Month. Jamie works 

in the Nursing/Restorative 

Department. Jamie has 

worked for Tiffany Heights 

for the last three years. Jamie 

enjoys sewing, cooking, 

reading and spendng time 

with her son, Cain. Jamie 

is originally from Wakefield, 

RI. 

Residents enjoyed the 

afternoon on Wednesday 

with a baking day. They 

celebrated National Carrot 

Cake Day and made carrot 

muffins. Residents also 

learned the value of having 

carrots in their diets and 

that mom was always right 

when she said, “Carrots are 

good for your eyes.” 

Bingo volunteers on 

Thursday were Shirley 

Jackson, Dean McCall, Inez 

VanOrman and Lucille 

Stull. 

Happy New Year, again! 

The residents enjoyed another 

New Year Party on 

Friday, except this one was 

the Chinese New Year. This 

is the year of the Tiger. Residents 

made crab rangoon, 

egg rolls and treats. Of 

course the crispy treat was 

their favorite. The Chinese 

calendar and the reasoning

Supper Menu

for the twelve year cycle 

was discussed, as well as 

what traits residents had 

under this calendar. Some 

of them were correct. It is 

hard to be an ox, but if you 

are a tiger, it is your lucky 

year, so enjoy. 

Sunday morning services

“Mountain Man” Don Wright- Was the featured guest at 

the Mound City Nutrition Site Show and Tell on Wednesday, 

February 3. Don is shown with his collection of “Mountain 

Man” paraphernalia, with over 30 people enjoying 

them and the stories. 

Mountain Man 

show and tell 

“Mountain Man”, Donnie 

Wright, was this month’s 

guest at the Mound City Nutrition 

Site’s monthly show 

and tell series. He was in 

dress, with trinkets and artifacts 

to help tell the story. 

Don, who has been doing 

reenacting since 1975, averages 

about two shows a 

month year round. He offers 

six different shows to accomodate 

the listeners’ preference. 

The term “mountain man” 

is usually applied to American 

fur traders who explored 

and trapped the western 

half of North America. The 

early 1800’s to the 1840’s 

was known as the “mountain 

man” era. 

The American Mountain 

Man was a colorful character. 

He wore handmade 

buckskin clothing, crude 

woolen or broad brimmed 

hats, and moccasins of buffalo 

or deer hide. They were 

almost always armed with 

a rifle or shotgun, shoot- 

ing stick, pistol and knife. 

They carried their powder 

in a horn slung over their 

shoulder and their shot in a 

bag tied around their neck. 

Somewhere on their person 

they carried flint and steel 

for fire making. 

After spending anywhere 

from six months to three 

years in the wilderness, their 

hair and beards were unkept 

and their personal hygiene 

was lacking. Donnie mentioned 

that their presence 

was seldom appreciated in a 

community and they didn’t 

usually stay in one place for 

very long. 

Don enjoys doing the reenactment 

shows for people. 

“It’s one way I can give back 

to the community for the 

wonderful life they have given 

to me,” Don stated. 

The next show and tell at 

the Mound City Nutrition 

Site will be on Wednesday, 

March 3, and will feature 

Virgina Lent’s quilt collection. 

Gillenwater family reunion

St. Francis Family Health 

Care’s extended hours’ program 

was launched in August 

of 2009 to meet the 

residents’ expectations for 

after-hour services. Focus 

groups conducted in July 

expressed the need for medical 

provider services during 

non-business hours for routine 

and minor emergency 

care at the health care center 

in Maryville, MO. 

Dr. Michael Wurm, family 

practice physician and the 

first physician to provide 

coverage in the extended 

hours clinic, said, “The purpose 

of the clinic is to improve 

access to care during 

the early evening hours to 

meet patient needs.” 

After Wurm began seeing 

patients on Wednesday and 

Thursday evenings in August, 

Dr. Patrick Harr began 

a Tuesday evening clinic in 

November with Dr. Kanti 

Havaldar offering Monday 

evening coverage in December.

alternative to traditional office visits

over 500 patients 

have taken advantage of the 

after-hours clinic which runs 

from 5 to 6:30 p.m. and is operated 

out of the St. Francis 

Orthopedic & Sports Medicine 

location. The clinic was 

intentionally placed across 

from the emergency department 

at the hospital. “One 

of the goals of the clinic is 

to reduce the need for ED 

visits from 5 to 6:30 p.m. for 

minor emergencies,” Wurm 

explained. “The primary 

pur pose is to see people who 

would not normally be able 

to make an office visit during 

traditional office hours.” 

Walk-in patients are welcome 

and a limited number 

of appointments are scheduled 

during the extended 

hours clinic. Appointments 

can be made by calling St.

Craig R-III Elementary celebrates 

100 days of school 

Craig R-III Elementary students - celebrated the 100th day of school on February 2, 

2010. One of the many activities in which the students participated was collecting items 

for a local food pantry. The goal was to collect 100 non-perishable items, but they surpassed 

that goal. Pictured are the kindergarten through sixth grade students with their 

contributions. 

Senior Hornet Kevin Dodson- Layed this shot in during 

their conference game with Rock Port on Friday, February 

5, in Rock Port. During the week of play, Kevin tallied 23 

points against Essex, 16 points against South Nodaway, 21 

points in their conference win over Rock Port and 12 points 

in their win over Hamburg. 

CFX Hornets have a 4-0 week 

The CFX Hornets had a 

very successful week, going 

4-0 in wins against Essex, 

South Nodaway, Rock Port 

and Hamburg. The victories 

put the Hornets at 15-3 

overall and 4-0 in conference 

play. 

The CFX Hornets utilized 

excellent shooting and good 

pressure defense in defeating 

the visiting Essex Trojans 

84-25 on Monday, February 

1. 

Kevin Dodson tallied 16 

first quarter points in leading 

CFX to a 28-6 lead at 

the end of the period. The 

Hornet lead continued to 

grow in the second quarter, 

and all players were able 

to see action. The halftime 

score was 52-12. Reserves 

saw plenty of action in the 

second half and were able to 

maintain the Hornet lead. 

Kevin Dodson led the way 

for CFX with 23 points, Jordan 

Showalter 20, Jordan 

Sipes 14, Spencer Barnes 8, 

Jacob Beck 8, Nathan Hinrichs 

7, Tristan Ray and 

Thauan Andrade with 2 

each. 

The Hornets traveled to 

South Nodaway for their 

second game of the week in 

as many nights and came 

away with a 74-28 victory. 

South Nodaway solved the 

CFX press early and trailed 

just 12-10 with four minutes 

left in the first period. From 

that point on, however, the 

Hornets' defensive pressure 

and fast break offense 

proved too much for the 

host Longhorns. Jacob Beck 

totalled 12 second quarter 

points to lead the decisive 

CFX charge, and the Hornets 

went into the locker 

room at half with a 48-16 

lead. 

Once again, reserves were 

able to see plenty of playing 

time in the second half and 

the final score was 74-28. 

Scoring for CFX was Jacob 

Beck with 23, Kevin Dodson 

16, Jordan Showalter 12, 

Nathan Hinrichs 9, Spencer 

Barnes 7, Tyler Brandt 

3, and Graham Scarbrough 

and Jordan Sipes with 2 

each. 

In a key Highway 275 

Conference matchup, the 

Hornets traveled to Rock 

Port Friday night, February 

5. Both teams entered 

the game with unblemished 

conference records. In a 

game marked by good defense 

played by both teams, 

CFX was able to hold on and 

emerged with a 41-35 win. 

CFX started the game 

quickly as Kevin Dodson and 

Jordan Showalter combined 

for 14 first quarter points 

and a 16-9 Hornet lead after 

one quarter. Both the pace of 

the game and scoring would 

slow down from that point. 

The Blue Jays took advantage 

of cold Hornet shooting 

and turnovers in the second 

quarter to trim the CFX lead 

to 21-18 at the break. 

The third period was 

played at the same pace, 

with neither team allowing 

many easy baskets. CFX led 

28-24 heading into the final 

frame. The fourth quarter 

saw the Blue Jays take their 

first lead of the game on 

Chase Chamberlain's three 

point field goal with just 

over three minutes remaining. 

On the ensuing possession, 

CFX's Nathan Hinrichs 

hit a key three point basket 

to give the lead back to the 

Hornets and they were able

Playing a makeup game 

from the January 7 postponement, 

the Hornets 

hosted Hamburg on Saturday 

afternoon, February 6, 

and walked away with a 78- 

46 victory. 

Loose defense and cold 

shooting by the Hornets 

plagued the host team in 

the first period and CFX led 

just 16-10 after one quarter 

of play. The CFX defensive 

effort and shooting picked 

up in the second quarter 

and the Hornets led 43-23 

at the break. 

Graham Scarbrough led 

the second quarter charge 

with seven points. CFX was 

able to continue their second 

quarter effort and put 

the Wildcats away in the 

third quarter, amassing a 

69-34 lead. With all starters 

sitting in the final period, 

the Hornets played on even 

terms with the Wildcats and

"I was extremely pleased 

with our play this week, 

Coach Petersen stated. “We 

were able to play up-tempo 

and establish our press in 

our non-conference games. 

We were also able to adjust 

against Rock Port and play 

solid zone defense while 

grinding out a close win. 

The remaining part of our 

schedule has some very 

good teams on it. We have a 

chance to have an outstanding 

season if we continue to 

develop defensively and become 

more consistent at the 

charity stripe."

For 60 years, Community Hospital-Fairfax 

has been part of the 

community. To celebrate the hospital’s 

60th anniversary, the Development 

Council has been collecting 

stories from past patients 

and staff. Some stories have been 

submitted that will make one 

smile and others may remind one 

of a time the hospital has impacted 

a life. 

For Terry Carlisle, the 1976 delivery 

of her daughter, Aimee, was 

made just that much more special 

when the nurses at Community 

Hospital-Fairfax let her share 

a room with her close friend, 

who had also just delivered a 

baby girl. The two friends were 

happy for the company and also 

pleased with the special care they 

received from the staff. Little 

touches, like letting them share a 

room and bringing the two women 

Pepsi Colas and Cherry Mash 

candy bars, made them feel more 

at home, Terry explained in her 

story. 

This story is just an example 

of what the Development Council 

hopes to collect. The Director of 

Strategic Planning, Ann Schlueter, 

hopes that more stories will 

be submitted. 

“The Storyteller’s Contest is 

a great way to help the hospital 

preserve memories for the next 

generations to come,” Ann said. 

The Development Council will 

honor two winning stories at 

the Celebrity Waiter Dinner on 

March 27. Prizes will be awarded 

to the funniest and most touching 

stories. Winners do need to be 

present. 

To share stories, please email 

Ann Schlueter at anns@fairfaxmed.com 

or send mail to P.O. Box
