Peace…<br />

By: Phyllis Hall<br />

Today, the beautiful sun shone<br />

brightly on happy children,<br />

Matured fields of corn and<br />

beans, on ripened pumpkins,<br />

And playful kittens.<br />

It shown also on the impoverished,<br />

the lonely – and those in sorrow.<br />

It shadowed long rays from the<br />

treetops<br />

As they now prepare for their naked<br />

winter’s sleep.<br />

God made – He provided, He calls,<br />

as creator of all things.<br />

His voice is the ultimate of all<br />

sound and human endeavor.<br />

<strong>What</strong> <strong>Cheer</strong> Baptist Church<br />

Hosts Vacation Bible School<br />

Tri-County School will soon be coming to a close and the <strong>What</strong> <strong>Cheer</strong><br />

Baptist Church would like to invite all children from the community to attend<br />

three days of Vacation Bible School on June 9, 10 and 11, Wednesday,<br />

Thursday and Friday, from 1:00 pm to 3:30 pm. The three days will be filled<br />

with music, Bible Stories, testimonies of Jesus, crafts, games and treats. The<br />

Bible School will be geared to children in the Preschool through sixth grade<br />

ages.<br />

Emphasis on the first day will be the birth of Jesus, on the second day,<br />

children will learn about the ministy and miracles of Christ, and on the last<br />

day, the reason Jesus died on a cross. In other words, the main thrust of the<br />

Bible School can be summed up in one word - JESUS!<br />

The teachers at the Baptist Church are looking forward to the opportunity<br />

of preparing for the Bible School and will be looking for all children of the<br />

community to attend. If you have questions or need a ride, please contact<br />

Pastor Dick or Jane Larson at 433-0013. They will be happy to hear from<br />

you. They would also like to thank parents in advance for considering the<br />

Bible School as a summer project for their children.<br />

Tales of the Ancient Sportsman<br />

By Burdell Hensley<br />

<strong>What</strong> a bum deal! I had a tour to St. Louis Wednesday<br />

and Thursday for a pair of Cardinal games and the Cardinals<br />

played like flubs this time. We sat through two<br />

miserable games and the only good thing was that the<br />

weather was beautiful and the stadium was in full red<br />

splendor.<br />

We left Wednesday morning and drove through heavy<br />

rain in northeast Missouri. The forecast called for rain<br />

most of the day and into the evening. We checked into<br />

the beautiful Drury Plaza Hotel and then went to dinner<br />

at the Old Spaghetti Factory. After dinner our bus<br />

driver dropped us off at the stadium and he had to park<br />

at a hotel parking lot a couple of miles away. The hotel<br />

provided a taxi to shuttle him back and forth. We found<br />

that negotiating a bus in the LaClede’s Landing area was<br />

quite a challenge.<br />

When we arrived at the stadium the clouds seemed to<br />

part and it was a gorgeous evening with a gentle breeze<br />

passing through the stadium. The place was a buzz of<br />

activity and a sea of red. We did have to deal with an occasional<br />

Cub hat, but they were very insignificant.<br />

I did learn that if you plan to go to Busch Stadium, you<br />

had better take many shekels with you. Five dollars for<br />

a bottle of water!!! I should have gone into the bottled<br />

water business when I was a kid, but the time was not<br />

right.<br />

There was a wonderful spring in Fred Robinson’s pasture,<br />

just about 200 yards from my favorite fishing hole<br />

on Walnut Creek. When I got thirsty I would go up to<br />

the spring and lie on my belly and drink that super cold<br />

spring water bubbling out of the ground. That water was<br />

so good and so satisfying. I don’t know what it cost as I<br />

just put it on God’s tab.<br />

It was wall to wall sunshine on Thursday morning, but<br />

a bank of ominous black clouds loomed in the west and<br />

the forecast was for rain about game time. The Missouri<br />

River seemed to block the clouds and it turned out to be a<br />

great day for baseball. But the Red Birds stunk again and<br />

we had to leave town without seeing them win. We did<br />

have a great time with some wonderful new friends and<br />

we even had a Cub fan along to keep us humble.<br />

I am fast becoming a soccer grandpa. Emily is playing<br />

on the Oskaloosa 10 and under team and Saturday they<br />

played the Ottumwa 10-U team in Ottumwa. I must add<br />

that the Osky team is all girls and the Ottumwa team was<br />

all boys. Osky at a disadvantage? Not at all. Those girls<br />

bounced the boys all over the pasture and took a 4-2 win.<br />

It was obvious which team was more physical.<br />

The Ancient-ess has been on the banquet circuit lately<br />

with Mother-Daughter banquets at Faith Community<br />

Church in Eddyville and Union Liberty Church near<br />

Bussey. She needed some exercise and she got it as the<br />

soccer complex was huge and the field we needed was<br />

on the back 40. The way I see it, it appears to be a waste<br />

of good grazing land.<br />

Before the soccer match we took in a pair of baseball<br />

games in Ottumwa. Alec and Christopher’s team beat the<br />

second Ottumwa team 6-5 and then lost to the Osky 11<br />

year-olds 2-1 in a very well played game for that age.<br />

Osky scored an unearned run in the bottom of the final<br />

inning to win it.<br />

After the soccer match we came back to Oskaloosa<br />

for a pair of Babe Ruth games by Logan’s team. We had<br />

followed them to <strong>New</strong>ton Friday night for two games,<br />

so they played four games in two days. A rather intense<br />

schedule I would think. I made the following observations.<br />

60 foot, six inch pitching distance is way too far<br />

for a 13 year-old. A 90 foot distance between bases is too<br />

far for a 13 year-old. A Pony League diamond is much<br />

more suited for that age.<br />

<strong>Sun</strong>day was a slow day and I needed that. After church<br />

and dinner, I went to the pond for a while. There was an<br />

ugly wind blowing out of the northeast and the pond was<br />

high and riled. After 30 minutes I came back home and<br />

went to the golf course. At least I could stay warm while<br />

walking. The golfing was like Cardinal baseball. I would<br />

play well in spurts and then have some holes that were<br />

really bad. At least I played all nine holes with the same<br />

ball and that is rare. No water, no trees, but I did find a<br />

very nasty Yucci plant.<br />

It is time again to take a look at our yesterdays.<br />

75 years ago: May 16, 1935- <strong>New</strong> <strong>Sharon</strong> routs Lacey<br />

27-2 with Barney Meyers tossing a four-hitter. Leo<br />

Harper led NS with two home runs and two triples. Don<br />

LeCocq, Buck Berry and Simmons each had four hits.<br />

May 17- Rose Hill beat Central City 7-0 in the state tourney<br />

behind the no-hit pitching of Ken Reid. Rose Hill<br />

was led by a triple and a single by Darrell Goddard and<br />

two hits by Van Landingham.<br />

50 years ago: May 21, 1960- Crawfordsville knocks<br />

<strong>What</strong> <strong>Cheer</strong> South out of the Sub-State tourney 7-1.<br />

Denny White and Don Allender teamed for a two-hitter.<br />

A double by Burdock and a single by Graham were the<br />

only WC hits.<br />

25 years ago: May 18, 1985- Led by Scot Bokhoven’s<br />

77, the North Mahaska boys qualified for the district golf<br />

tourney. Other Warhawk scores were an 83 by Scott Lewis,<br />

an 87 by Jason LaRue and an 89 by Curt Fox. May 20-<br />

Tri-County sends seven to state. District winners were<br />

Ace Moore in the 100 and 200 and Jeff Foubert in the<br />

discus. Second place qualifiers were Kyhl Schmidt (pole<br />

vault), Randy Schmidt (110 high hurdles), Greg Thomas<br />

(400) and the 4X100 team of Thomas, K. Schmidt, R.<br />

Schmidt and Moore.<br />

Have a great week and remember that something is<br />

wrong when kids run wild and dogs go to obedience<br />

school.<br />
