Kathi Clement Realty, LLC- Opened with an Open House 

at 514B State Street in Mound City, MO, on Friday, July 2. 

Her office is located behind the business entrances of Red 

Rock Rehab and Shelter Insurance. 

New realty office 

open in Mound City 

Kathi Clement has 

opened her new realty 

business, Kathi Clement 

Realty, LLC, at 514B State 

Street in Mound City, MO. 

Kathi, a licensed real 

estate broker since 1991, 

has been dabbling in real 

estate for nearly 20 years, 

but the opportunity to set 

up her own office became 

advantageous for both her 

and her husband. 

Kathi has worked with 

her husband, Greg, in his 

auction business for many 

years. With Kathi’s various 

work schedules, she needed 

to be more accessible to 

him and so it was deemed 

beneficial to open an office 

to provide accessiblity to 

their customers. 

“We have a desire to offer 

our customers more 

accessibility for both the 

auction business and now 

my realty business,” Kathi 

stated. “Opening an office 

here will help us better 

serve Holt County as well 

as those beyond.” 

Kathi has set her summer 

office hours on Monday 

through Thursday from 

9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and 

by appointment by calling 

660-442-6500.

News Beat 

Rainy 4th 

This year, the 4th Blast fireworks were shot by a local 

crew. The past few years a licensed pyrotechnician and crew 

had to be hired to shoot the city show. This year, a local 

crew and I shot the show. After talking with a few citizens, 

I decided to get my certifications and licenses in hopes of 

saving the money previously spent to hire a crew to shoot. 

We were able to assemble a small crew and shoot this 

year despite the rainy weather - (Chris Boultinghouse 

informed me, after the show, that this is the 19th consecutive 

year that the Mound City fireworks show has not been 

rained out). I hope everyone was able to make it out and 

watch the show. 

As far as the fireworks’ display goes, we hope to perfect 

the shoot and provide a better display each year. 

We hope you enjoyed the show and thank you all for donating. 

Maybe next year we will have better weather!

stimulating game that is 

fun for all ages. They chose 

the words, vegetables and 

fruit, since it’s that time 

of year. They were able to 

make 217 different words 

with those letters. 

Another month is gone 

and residents anticipate 

the upcoming events. On

spent time getting ready 

for July and all the special 

events it brings.

during the afternoon

to serving the people 

who have helped make the 

communities what they 

are. 

The residents enjoyed 

the anticipation of the Independence 

Day holiday by 

playing a round of “I Love 

America” jingo. All the questions 

dealt with important 

events, symbols and people 

in the United States. Winner

Mound City 

Kiwanis Club 

The Mound City Kiwanis 

Club met at the United Methodist 

Church on Wednesday, 

June 30, 2010, with 16 members 

and one guest present, 

Terry Martin. A business 

meeting followed the meal. 

The club received two 

thank you notes, one from 

Lucyle Benne thanking the 

Kiwanis for the flowers for 

Max’s funeral and for donating 

toward the Max Benne 

Scholarship Fund and the 

second note was from Mound 

City Pints baseball team 

thanking the Kiwanis for 

the covers on the baseball 

dugouts. 

Treasurer Dave Frede 

gave a financial report, noting 

that funds continue to 

come in toward the Benne 

Scholarship. 

The club voted to donate 

$100 to Drew Ireland toward 

the repair of the shelter roof 

at the top of the Loess Bluff 

Hiking Trail at Squaw Creek. 

Drew is working on this for 

his Eagle Scout project. 

There was a great deal of 

discussion about the 4th of 

July events. Jonathan Miller 

distributed a final schedule 

of events. Volunteers 

were recruited to assist with 

registration for the tractors, 

antique cars and horses. 

Terry Martin thanked the 

Kiwanis for their assistance 

at last year’s July 4th celebration 

and talked about 

some of the items that still 

needed to be accomplished 

by this weekend. 

Flags were to be put up by 

Joe and Scott Laukemper on 

the 4th and taken down the 

5th by Jim Steele and Dave 

Frede. 

Kiwanis International is a global 

organization of volunteers 

dedicated to changing the world

Emergency Conservation 

Program now available 

Jackie VanGundy, County 

Executive Director of US- 

DA’s Farm Service Agency 

(FSA) in Holt County reminds 

producers to contact 

the office before beginning 

any restoration work for 

land damaged by the flood. 

USDA Farm Service 

Agency provides emergency 

funding for farmers to rehabilitate 

farmland damaged 

by natural disasters such 

as flooding. ECP cost share 

practices include: removing 

debris from farmland and 

grading, shaping; re-leveling 

farmland; and restoring conservation 

structure and installations. 

Based on a site visit, FSA 

will determine eligibility of 

land for ECP. 

Subject to availability of 

funds, ECP participants 

may receive cost-share assistance 

of up to 75% of the 

cost to implement approved

ECP practices. Eligible participants 

are subject to a 

payment limitation. Funding 

for ECP is appropriated 

by Congress so it is not an 

entitlement program where 

eligible producers are guaranteed 

funding. 

Holt County has not been 

approved for the ECP program 

at this point; however, 

FSA is required to inspect 

the damage before the work 

is done to be eligible.

before beginning any restoration 

work!

The Bledsoe family- Entertained residents at Tiffany 

Heights on Monday, July 5, as part of their families’ Service 

Day plans. The entire family was able to be together for the 

first time in four years, so a week of activities were carefully 

planned. 

Local family capitalizes 

on time together 

The Gordon and Elaine 

Bledsoe family felt blessed 

this year to be able to simultaneously 

gather all the 

children and grandchildren 

together during the Fourth 

of July week. It was the first 

time in four years that this 

has happened. 

“When your kids live out 

of state, you don’t get the opportunity 

very often,” Elaine 

stated, “So we take full advantage 

to have fun and 

serve while they are here.” 

Gordon and Elaine’s three 

children, spouses and grandchildren 

helped with the 

planning of the myriad of 

family events. Family members 

included: son, Jared 

and wife, Dawn, Mark, Sydney, 

Isaac, Allison and Grace 

M.; daughter, Corey and 

husband, Rich, AJ, Riley and 

Denna; and daughter, Lacey 

and husband, Dan, Davey, 

Grace E. and Lily. Each sibling 

took a day and made 

plans on how the family 

President; Deborah Loucks, 

Secretary/Treasurer; Nina 

Boyd, Membership Secretary; 

Verna Young, Chaplain; 

and Karen Bagby, Sergeant- 

At-Arms. 

The next meeting will be 

held on Monday, August 16, 

2010. 

would celebrate. 

The Fourth of July was 

spent with extended family 

traditionally celebrating the 

Fourth of July. 

On Monday, July 5, the 

family held a Service Day. 

They made cookies and 

cleaned the State Theater in 

the morning. If weather conditions 

had been favorable, 

the family had made plans 

to sweep and clean parade 

debris from main street. In 

the afternoon, the family 

gathered at Tiffany Heights 

Nursing Home for Teddy 

Bear and Me Day. The group 

entertained the residents 

with several songs, drew 

and colored pictures of teddy 

bears and served cookies. 

The family spent the rest 

of the week with fun events 

and food focused around the 

themes of Mexican Day, Jungle 

Day and Pioneer Day before 

travelling back to their 

various home states.

Cowboy poetry 

book published 

Mackay S. Brown of Maywood, 

NE, recently published 

a compilation of cowboy 

poems in a book entitled, 

Rhymes from the County 

Line. 

Mackay Brown is Jim 

Brown’s father. Jim is the 

pastor of the Christian Fellowship 

Church in Mound 

City, MO. 

Mackay dedicated the 

book to his wife, Betty, of 63 

years. The ‘leather-stitched’ 

cover of Mackay’s book is

“She always used to make 

my belts and billfolds growing 

up,” recalled Jim Brown. 

Mackay prefaces the book 

by recounting the many 

changes he’s seen in the 

plains of Nebraska over his 

82 years of life. Growing 

up in the “Dust Bowl” days, 

he describes farm life as it 

progressed with technology. 

Preserving a little of that 

local history is the primary 

reason for his book. 

As a rancher of nearly 

10,000 acres, which includes 

the original homestead of 

Mackay’s great-grandfather, 

his many personal experiences, 

as well as passed 

down stories, were the inspiration 

for the poetry in his 

book.

Comedian keeps 

audience in stitches 

Comedian Kevin Horner presented a special program titled 

“Walk the Plank with Pirate Frank”, at the State Theater

acts kept the children laughing, while encouraging them to 

read and use their imagination. 

“I pretty much laughed the whole time,” stated Cameron 

Laukemper. “I liked the part where the bunny was laughing 

at the ventriloquist.” 

The program was part of the summer reading program at 

the Mound City Public Library.

2010. 

Heat and humidity 

can create health 

risks at any age 

The heat and humidity 

that often mark summertime 

in Missouri can create 

a health hazard for people 

of all ages, state health officials 

warn. 

While the very young, the 

elderly and the chronically 

ill are at greatest risk of 

heat-related illness, summer 

temperatures can take 

a toll on healthy young and 

middle-aged adults, too. 

Of the 11 Missourians 

who died from heat-related 

causes last year, eight were 

25 to 64 years of age. Only 

three were age 65 or older. 

“High temperatures 

coupled with high humidity 

can cause health problems 

quickly and with little 

warning,” said Margaret 

Donnelly, director of the 

Missouri Department of 

Health and Senior Services. 

“Summer Safety Week 

reminds us of the precautions 

we need to take to 

protect ourselves and others, 

especially those who 

are particularly vulnerable 

to the heat.” 

The elderly and the 

chronically ill perspire less 

and are more likely to be 

taking medication that can 

impair the body’s response 

to heat or that make them 

more sensitive to the heat. 

Those medications include 

antihistamines, overthe-counter 

sleeping pills, 

antidepressants, heart 

drugs, antipsychotics, major 

tranquilizers and some 

medications for Parkinson’s 

disease. People should 

check with their doctor or 

pharmacist to find out if 

their medications make 

them more sensitive to 

summer’s high temperatures. 

Senior citizens on fixed 

incomes often do not have 

air conditioning or feel they 

cannot afford the extra expense 

of running it. Since 

many seniors live alone, 

Missourians should check 

on elderly family members 

and neighbors regularly to 

be sure they are not suffering 

from the effects of the 

heat. 

Donnelly urges Missourians 

to use the state’s 

toll-free abuse and neglect 

hotline at 1-800-392-0210 

to report senior citizens or 

adults with disabilities suffering 

from the heat and 

needing assistance. The 

hotline operates 8:00 a.m. 

to 8:00 p.m. seven days a 

week. 

Young children are also 

sensitive to heat and must 

rely on adults to regulate 

their environments to prevent 

heat-related illness. 

Infants and children 

should not be left unattended 

in hot environments, especially 

in cars, even with 

the air conditioner running. 

A car’s interior can reach 

oven-like temperatures in 

minutes, putting anyone 

inside at risk of overheating. 

Children also should 

not be allowed to play in 

or around cars. Small children 

can become trapped 

because they are not big 

enough to open the door 

or roll down the window to 

get out. They also can fall 

asleep inside a hot vehicle 

or play or hide in the trunk 

of a car. 

Children also can become 

dehydrated very quickly. 

Small children often do 

not drink as much liquid 

as they should and can become 

dehydrated. Adults 

need to encourage children 

to drink plenty of fluids every 

day. 

Symptoms as modest as 

dizziness or muscle cramps 

can be signs of heat-related 

illness. For more warning 

signs and ways to treat 

the heat, visit www.dhss. 

mo.gov/Hyperthermia/ 

HeatPrecautions.html. To 

locate a cooling center near 

you where seniors and 

other people at risk of heat 

related illness can go to 

cool down, visit www.dhss.

Tech Talk 

with Troy Cook 

Here’s a scenario. After last 

night’s thunderstorm, you discover 

that lightning has fried 

your computer’s hard drive. 

Your pictures, music, documents, 

scans; all of it…gone. 

The fact of the matter is that 

this happens all too often. The 

good news is there is something 

you can do about it, and you can 

do it today. Deploy a backup 

strategy for your home computer. 

There are several types of 

home backup strategies that 

you can deploy depending on 

how “protected” you wish to be. 

Personally, some of my data, including 

pictures of my family, 

are priceless and I don’t take 

chances. I start by setting up 

a local backup to an external 

hard drive. You can purchase 

an external hard drive at most 

technology retailers. 

While the local backup protects 

you against general hard- 

ware failure, it doesn’t protect 

against everything. If lightning 

strikes and takes out your computer, 

chances are it will take 

out the backup device as well. 

Additionally, disasters such as 

fires, tornados or floods would 

destroy your computer along 

with any local backup. With 

that in mind, I also utilize an 

offsite backup application. 

Offsite backup means that 

your data is stored outside of 

your home. This is extremely 

beneficial in the event that your 

computer and local backup are 

both destroyed. 

There are hundreds of online 

backup providers so finding the 

right one is critical. One of the 

most important factors to consider 

with an offsite backup 

strategy is trust. Where is my 

data stored? Does my provider 

have a backup plan if disaster 

strikes them? Will a technician 

assist me in setting up my 

backups so I know everything is 

protected? Will I receive daily 

notifications on my backup status? 

If I need to restore, will 

someone be there to help me? 

These are all questions that you 

should have answers to before 

selecting a backup provider. 

In today’s information age, 

protecting your data is vital. I 

would recommend doing so with 

an offsite backup provider that 

you can trust. If you have any 

questions regarding backup 

strategies, please call our office 

at 660-744-5343 to talk with 

one of our experts. 

The Fourth of July Fireworks- Were met with rainy 

conditions, however, the shooters were able to do a remarkable 

job and gave viewers a great display.
