Street resurfacing project- Which ones made the cut?

At a special Wednesday, March 23, Mound City City Council meeting, councilmen had to decide which of the streets in Mound City would make the cut for the 2012 street resurfacing project.

The project, which will be funded through a Communi-ty Development Block Grant (CDBG), will see construc-tion to begin in the summer of 2012.

An engineer provided the city with cost estimates for a list of streets that Alderman/street supervisor Jim Kreuger and other councilmen had de-termined needed attention because of deteriorating con-ditions and high traffic areas.

“We’ve been doing patch and seal, which is the best we can do with our funds, but that just doesn’t work for long,” stated Jim Krueger. “This 2” overlay will be a great addi-tion, and we hope to continue with more projects later.”

The 38 streets/street sec-tions that were considered by the council would cost $634,580.65. Total grant mon-ies cannot exceed $400,000. After another physical sur-vey, councilmen amended the project list to include only 20 streets/street sections for the resurfacing project. The amended project would cost $362,050.14. Four additional streets have been marked as alternate resurfacing routes, in the event that remaining grant funds or excess city

funds would cover the costs.Another provision in the

grant makes it mandatory that the city agree to render 70% of its estimated unre-stricted funds for use on the project. The city committed $31,500 for the street resur-facing project.

Streets that are on the amended list for resurfacing, which will be an asphalt over-lay, along with their projected cost estimates are as follow:

• Homedale Street from Route N east to the corner - $7,285.48

• Mound Street from Park Lane to Grand - $36,573.72 and Grand to 3rd Street - $57,690.97

• High Street from Frazer to Grand - $24,276.82 and Grand to 3rd - $36,041.13

• Gillis Street from Sa-vannah to Highway 59 - $16,123.80

• Davis Street from Mound to Nebraska - $10,437.35, Nebraska to Savannah - $11,012.28 and Savannah to Highway 59 - $18,902.22

• Frazer Street from Mound to Nebraska - $11,800.25, Nebraska to Savannah - $11,882.38 and Savannah to Paxton - $5,404.12

• Paxton Street from Frazer to Hickory - $14,591.50

• 9th Street from Mound to Nebraska - $9,323.42, Nebras-ka to Savannah - $9,718.68 and Savannah to Highway 59 - $10,126.78

• 7th Street from Mill to

Mound - $11,836.18, Mound to Nebraska - $11,747.63 and Highway 59 to Railroad - $21,549.73

• Railroad Street from 5th to 7th - $25,725.70

Chosen as alternate streets for consideration were:

• 6th Street from Highway 59 to Railroad - $20,383.18

• 5th Street from Highway 59 to Railroad - $19,131.93

• Gillis Street from Nebras-ka to Savannah - $11,198.37

The Big Lake State Park campground opened for camp-ers on Friday, April 1. Camp-ground sites are $21 for elec-trical hookups and $13 for basic. Senior citizens, 65 and older, receive a $2 discount per site.

The cabins, which have been open since March 1, are avail-able for lodging lakeside. The top floor of the hotel, as well as the ADA (handicap) room on the lower floor of the hotel will open for rent on May 1. The C-Store, which houses a small grill, will open for business on May 1 as well.

The park crew has hopes of repainting the pool before it reopens for the season on Me-morial Day weekend.

The asbestos abatement is now complete in the dining lodge and renovations will begin in the near future, with hopes of opening the fully re-furbished dining facility in mid to late summer.

Route N to Sunset - $32,582.00

The application for the grant will be filed by May 1, with the grant being award-ed by late summer. The bid-ding process will begin in 2012 and the resurfacing will progress through the summer of 2012. The last street resurfacing project that was done on Nebraska and Savannah streets was in 2008.

Craig Girl Scouts to host food drive

Members of the Ta Ya Mim Club met at Josephine’s Eat-ery in Mound City, MO, on Thursday, March 31, with Bev Callow as hostess. Roll call was, “A Tip on Getting Organized”.

President Karen Ingram conducted the business meeting and Nancy McCro-ry gave a short program on Easter traditions, including how rabbits came to be as-sociated with Easter.

The next meeting will be a spring outing on Thursday, April 28, with the book com-

mittee to decide on a loca-tion.

After the meeting, co-hostess Nancy McCrory served delicious refresh-ments of lemon cheesecake and homemade angel food cake and fruit, and members enjoyed visiting.

Attending were Wava Duncan, Cheryl Miles, Trisha Miles, Marcina Hol-stine, Karen Ingram, Ruthie Steele, Cindy Patterson, Patty Young, Melinda Tally, Nancy McCrory, Bev Callow and Linda Boultinghouse.

Ta Ya Mim holds meeting

Letter to the editorDear Editor,To: Kathy Haer & any other interested parties,First, I would like to thank you for at least noticing that I

have flowers coming up. The thing is, they are not intended to hide anything. These flowers consist of 328 tulip bulbs that my little sister gave me and helped me plant when she learned that she had terminal cancer. She passed away three months after we planted the bulbs. I have always thought that tulips are the most beautiful flower around and these are my reminder of her. They were put right out by Highway 59 for all to see and enjoy.

Secondly, I guess I should let you know that I don’t have any JUNK. What some people call junk is, in fact, merchan-dise and materials that I work with. The fact that it is on Highway 59 is because that’s where the city is zoned for commercial use. This zoning was done long before I ever came to Craig. If you look closely, you’ll see that I keep my properties mowed and there is NO trash.

Third, while there IS a lot of trash piled around Craig, I’m not the one who allowed this to happen. That would be the current administration, who brags of being in charge for 30+ years.

Fourth and final, I drove by your house today and I don’t understand your complaint about me at all.

Sincerely, Bob LawsonThe Mound City Kiwan-

is Club met at the United Methodist Church in Mound City, MO, on Wednesday, March 30, 2011, with 13 members and 2 guests pres-ent. Guests included Melin-da Graves and John Davis.

John Davis has now be-come a new member of the Mound City Kiwanis while March 30 was the last day for Glen Hockemeier. Glen is moving to Kansas City and will be missed.

There was no program – a business meeting followed the meal. The club approved to purchase more flagpoles. Treasurer Dave Frede gave a financial report. The club grossed more than $630 at the pancake feed fund raiser for the Senior Center/Nutri-tion Site and presented the Nutrition Site with a check for $598.25. The club re-ceived a thank you note from the Nutrition Site for the do-nation. There was consid-erable discussion about the July 2 Tractor Pull. Larry Thomas led the discussion and there is a need to have an additional food sales area in the southeast corner, be-sides the cook shack in the northwest corner. There will be a need for at least 24 vol-unteers for this event. There has been some interest from the BJG Club assisting in the July 4th parade.

Spring mushroom hunt-ing season will open on the Squaw Creek National Wild-life Refuge near Mound City on Sunday, April 10, and end Friday, May 20. No permits are required for visitors to enter authorized areas of the Loess Hills east of High-way 159 for mushroom hunt-ing. Refuge officials are con-cerned with the number of visitors entering unauthor-ized areas for mushroom hunting. Any violations for trespassing by visitors in the bottomlands or in unau-thorized Squaw Creek Ref-uge property will be subject to citations and penalties.

Mushroom hunting is per-mitted only on the east side of Highway 159 in the Loess Bluffs within refuge bound-aries. The rest of the ref-uge is closed for mushroom hunting. Refuge boundar-ies are identified by “Blue Goose Boundary Signs”. Detailed maps showing the designated mushroom hunt-ing areas can be obtained at the Squaw Creek Refuge headquarters or viewed on signage in refuge parking areas. The bottomland areas are home to state endan-

Spring mushroom hunting season to open this Sunday, April 10, at the refuge

gered species such as the Massasauga Rattlesnake and species of concern such as Squaw Creek Refuge’s nesting Bald Eagles. Visitors must be aware that any dis-turbance in these areas can be detrimental to the floral, fauna, and wildlife habitats.

Interpretive “Morel Mush-room” programs are sched-uled for Sunday, April 17, at 1:00 p.m. and on Satur-day, April 23, at 10:30 a.m. Please join a refuge college intern on a refuge program meeting at the headquarters to learn mushroom hunting techniques. The intern will identify locations open on the refuge for morel mush-room hunting. Mushrooms are actually the fruits of a fungus. The mushroom pro-duces spores which are the seeds of the fungus. Mush-rooms collected by visitors on the Squaw Creek Refuge are called “Morels”. Morels are easy to recognize by the trained hunter and are deli-cious to eat, therefore mak-ing them popular edible wild mushrooms in Missouri. Mo-rels are found in a variety of habitats, including moist woodlands and river bot-toms. Caution is required for collecting wild mushrooms because a few are deadly and many more are mildly poisonous. All of the edible mushrooms are distinctive in some obvious way. The publication “Edible and Poisonous Mushrooms”, by Barbara Bassett, is an excel-lent reference to help iden-tify mushrooms. One can ob-tain a copy from the Squaw Creek Refuge headquarters or from the Missouri De-partment of Conservation in St. Joseph. Further informa-tion on mushroom picking can be obtained by calling the Squaw Creek Refuge at (660) 442-3187.

Higher grain prices have growers questioning the value of foliar applying fungicides for wheat. Research indicates that the most consistent yield response occurs when applied between flag leaf emergence through flowering. Knowing the variety resistance to ma-jor diseases is key in expect-ing the return on a fungicide application.

There has been promotion of early fungicide applications during green-up, but the yield response is very small com-pared to later fungicide ap-plications. Also, this does not protect the wheat from diseas-es that occur later on.

The susceptibility of wheat varieties is the primary cri-

Wheat fungicidesteria for determining if a fun-gicide application is needed along with proper crop scout-ing. Varieties that have mul-tiple resistances have less probability of fungicide yield enhancement.

Research results show the efficacy of fungicides is simi-lar for most major diseases. If you are concerned about scab, consider using some of the University of Missouri releas-es that have resistance to this disease. These varieties are soft red winter wheats.

Twelve of the nation’s pre-mier agriculture students were recently selected for the 2011 International Col-legiate Agricultural Leader-ship (I-CAL) Program. Lau-ren Geiger of Mound City, MO, who is a student at Kan-sas State University, was one of the lucky twelve to be se-lected to go. These students were required to complete an application and answer numerous essay questions regarding their understand-ing and thoughts on interna-tional trade and marketing. They will travel to Panama and Columbia, May 15–27, 2011, to study international grain marketing and trade and global agriculture.

During the program, the students will visit many different South American agricultural operations, in-cluding grain inspecting facilities, fruit/vegetable production farms, livestock operations, and open air grain, meat and animal mar-kets. The tours are designed to help the students - all who plan to pursue careers in the agriculture industry - understand current interna-tional trade and cultural is-sues and gain awareness of how international markets for agricultural products op-erate.

The I-CAL program was developed as a partnership with the U.S. Grains’ Council and the Grains’ Foundation. These organizations seek

The Mound City National Honor Society (NHS) held its annual induction ceremony for new members on Monday, April 4, at the State Theater in Mound City.

Seth Henson, NHS President, welcomed everyone and gave a brief history of the Mound City Chapter. He told those in atten-dance that this was the 7th year for the Mound City Chapter to be affiliated with the national organization and that it was or-ganized under Tamara Stadter and Jason Eggers in May of 2005 with nine charter mem-bers. He also gave a brief review of the year’s activities.

Current members then gave an overview of the organiza-tion’s emblems and their mean-ings. Senior members gave speeches about each of the 4 traits of membership. Tiffany Kunkel spoke on scholarship, Emilee Messer on service, James Schoonover elaborated on lead-ership and Taylor Blevins talk-ed about character.

Induction into the society is based on scholarship, leader-ship, service and character. A 3.5 grade point average (GPA) is required to be considered. Candidates must also fill out an activity list for each year of high school and write an essay about their character, leader-ship, scholarship and service. A faculty committee evaluates the applications before making the selections.

Family members and friends joined the new inductees and current members for the induc-tion ceremony at 7:00 p.m. Seth Henson led the inductees in re-citing the honor society pledge. Taylor Blevins led the roll call

of new inductees and each new inductee then signed the society register under the direction of secretary Tiffany Kunkel. They were presented with their mem-bership pins from treasurer James Schoonover, membership certificates from Seth Henson and a yellow rose (the society flower) from historian Emilee Messer. Seth then welcomed the new members into the Mound City Chapter of National Honor Society.

Sixteen new members were inducted into the organization. Sophomores inducted were Ab-bey Forehand - daughter of Karl and Laura Forehand; Chelsea Killin – daughter of Clint and Janet Killin; Paige Kunkel – daughter of Brian and Kathy Kunkel; Kelton Kurtz – son of Garold and Rene Kurtz; Carina Metzgar- daughter of Bill and

Four Mound City FCCLA members headed to nationals

Eleven students from the Mound City FCCLA Chapter attended the 2011 Missouri Family, Career and Commu-nity Leaders of America (FC-CLA) State Leadership Con-ference on March 27-29 at the Holiday Inn Select Executive Center in Columbia, MO. Del-egates from across the state represented over 12,000 mem-bers of Missouri FCCLA.

Advisor Karlene Harrison and three parent volunteers accompanied members Tiffa-ny Kunkel, Jennifer Thomas, Torri Carrol and eight other members who were compet-ing in the state STAR events portion of the conference. Those members had previous-ly earned Gold awards at the district level competition.

Four students were awarded silvers at state for their scrap-books of the Mound City FC-CLA Chapter activities. Ab-bey Forehand and Lily Grant presented Chapter Showcase Manual Senior Level and re-ceived a silver. Haley Loucks and Emily Messer presented a Chapter Showcase Manual Sr. Level and also received a silver.

Four students earned golds at the state level and two of the participants were state winners, earning the top score. The top two scores in each category are awarded the opportunity to compete at nationals.

Carina Metzgar earned top score and gold with her Nu-trition and Wellness Senior

Level. Her project was pre-sented through an electronic portfolio which evaluated her family’s eating habits and exercise, and analyzed them. She gave recommendations for changes and made recom-mendations based on research resources. She then made menus and exercise guides for two weeks and then evaluated the results and analyzed their effectiveness.

Merkin Karr was a Mis-souri winner with top score and earned gold with her Food Innovations Jr. Level. She had prepared Blueberry Blitz, a type of granola bar that fit the criteria of a snack food that was low fat, high protein, high fiber and non perishable.

Abby Haer and Jordyn Pankau earned gold at state for their ‘Jo and Abigel’s Spe-cialty Foods’ in the Food In-novations Sr. Level. The duo researched, prepared and perfected two complete mi-crowavable entrees for a fam-ily of four as part of a line of foods that were low in fat and sodium and high in protein. Product development (had to include at least 3 food groups), taste testing, packaging, nu-trition labeling and pricing had to be developed for the project.

Carina, Merkin, Abby and Jordyn will be travelling to Anaheim, CA, in July to pres-ent their STAR event proj-ects at national competition. Fundraising events are being planned for the group.

Mark Quick joins New York Life Company as agent

Mark Quick, the son of Gay and the late Tommy Quick, was born and raised on his parents’ farm in Oregon, MO. Mark graduated from South Holt R-I in 2000 and earned his Bachelor of Science Degree in Construction Management from the University of Central Missouri in May of 2004. A few weeks after completing his college experience, Mark married Elizabeth Kreek, also from Oregon. Their family has continued to grow over the past few years and God has blessed them with two wonderful children, Isabella and Liam Quick.

In 2004, Mark accepted a po-sition with JE Dunn Construc-tion Company as Superintendent Trainee in Kansas City, MO. How-ever, the desire to move back to “the country” and to Mark and Elizabeth’s hometown took pre-

cedence in 2008 when he was of-fered the position as Senior Vice-President at the Citizens Bank of Oregon. Mark and his family now reside in Oregon.

With seven combined years of experience in management and banking, his passion for assisting people one-on-one, and a strong desire to operate his own business, Mark made the decision to join New York Life Insurance Company as an agent. Mark has his life and health licensing with the State of Missouri. Mark is being mentored by David Colflesh, CLU®, ChFC®, New York Life Insurance Agent from Tarkio, MO. David has been active in the financial services’ in-dustry since 1978. David is very excited about working with Mark as he begins his career with New York Life.

A Black Tie AffairBy Taylor Miles

On April 2, 2011, Mound City High School juniors, se-niors, and their dates loaded the bus to head to Moila Shrine in St. Joseph, MO, for prom. Upon arrival, they were escorted up a beautiful decorated staircase into a grand ballroom. After locat-ing their seats, the students were lined up for pictures by Mrs. Jan Seitz and assistant, Mrs. Debi Clifton. Soon after, they were served a dinner which consisted of a garden salad, chicken breast, al-fredo pasta, seasoned green beans, and cheesecake.

The party started with the announcement and dance of King and Queen Zach Gil-land and Amber Robbins. DJ Micheal Wall, Mega Mix, kept the party alive with the lively music, dance les-

sons, and games planned by the junior class. Prom then ended and it was off to the YMCA for the after prom festivities.

At the YMCA, students attended a quick meeting to let them know what was expected, what was avail-able, and where to change. The prom attendees then spent the rest of the night playing basketball, hand-ball, racquetball, walleyball, laser tag, dance central on connect, and taking pic-tures in a photo booth filled with props. Students also had Papa Murphy’s pizza, nachos, ice cream sundaes, and tea rings to snack on throughout the night. The night ended with gift bags and a raffle for items donat-ed by the community and lo-cal businesses.

For the second consecutive year, Northwest Missouri State University's (NWMSU) Students In Free Enterprise (SIFE) team is qualified for national competition by win-ning its regional competition on Friday, March 11, in Rog-ers, AR. Team members are Jamie Webster, SIFE sec-retary, Mound City; Mal-lory Brown, SIFE historian, Hannibal, MO; John Cook, SIFE president, Belton, MO; Tiffany Rose, SIFE vice presi-dent, Belton; Travis Luethje, SIFE treasurer, Blue Springs, MO; and Jason Orme, SIFE immediate past president and student advisor, Red Oak, IA.

The team brought home the regional championship trophy by edging Missouri State Uni-versity and Crowder College.

During the regional compe-titions, teams must present written annual reports and live audio-visual presenta-tions showing the results of their annual community out-reach projects to panels of business leaders serving as judges. The teams are evalu-ated on their success with creating economic opportuni-ties for others.

During 2010-2011, the team contributed more than 400 hours and impacted more than 10,000 people this year.

“The hard work each and every member put into our projects has paid off for the second year in a row,” SIFE President John Cook said. “I could not think of a better way to end my senior year of college, than to go back to the SIFE national competition.”

Twelve SIFE regional com-petitions took place around the country through April 4 with about 400 colleges com-peting for spots in the nation-al competition set for May 10-12 in Minneapolis.

In addition to 2010, the Northwest SIFE team has qualified for national com-petition two other times in 12 years of regional competi-tions.

surrounding area by provid-ing them with learning op-portunities revolving around entrepreneurship, business ethics and personal financial development in the local and global economy.

The SIFE Team consists of a six-person competition team that represented the organi-zation at regional competi-tion along with 30 other par-ticipating members. Dr. Jason White, associate professor of economics and a Sam Walton Fellow, has served as SIFE advisor since founding the Northwest team in 2000.

“The Northwest SIFE Team annually attracts many of the best and brightest stu-dents based on the learning and service opportunities and for one-on-one access to top executives from the larg-est and best-run firms in the country,” White said.

At the regional competition, the Northwest SIFE team presented a selection of proj-ects it completed during the school year. For example, the team facilitated the fifth an-nual Youth Entrepreneurship Summit (YES) in Chillicothe, MO, where members worked with 92 high school students assigned to research and gen-erate presentations about various businesses.

The team also organized a Disney web-based game at Northwest’s Horace Mann

Laboratory School that al-lowed students to act as en-trepreneurs and develop their virtual businesses online.

Other projects included a business etiquette seminar at Cameron, MO, High School, a research survey for the Northwest Recycling Com-mittee and an internal audit program for the Northwest Foundation.

SIFE member and past president, Jason Orme, has reaped the benefits of partici-pating in SIFE. He is working as a graduate assistant and interning with the Clifton Gunderson accounting firm in St. Joseph, MO. He also owns a lawn care and landscaping business that he started from scratch and now serves more than 40 clients.

“I can honestly say that I attribute most of these accom-plishments to the network-ing and management oppor-tunities I have experienced through Students In Free En-terprise.”

Cook added, “SIFE has al-lowed me to take what I have learned in the classroom and use it to help the community through the power of busi-ness.”

The software offers information about grant maker applica-tion requirements and infor-mation on grantees receiv-ing grants, how much they received and the purpose of the grant. The format is user friendly making it easy to use.

The software is to assist all nonprofit organizations at no charge and is available in the Community Foundation’s of-fice. Staff will be available to assist in getting started.
