Notice of Special Meeting New boating rules to be considered for VVA Handbook From Troy Lesan, President VVA Board of Directors Pursuant to Article 6, Section 2 of the Bylaws on page 10 of the 2019 VVA Handbook, I am calling a special meeting for 2 PM, Saturday, August 17, 2019 in the upper level of the clubhouse. This meeting will be for the membership to discuss and vote upon new boating rules for VVA handbook regarding: 1) wake boat operation, 2) noise levels, 3) lake closure rule, and 4) an extended area from shoreline for trolling speed only. I urge members to attend. In order to attend the meeting, each person must be an Active Member in good standing.

VVA Board of Directors July 14, 2019
Lighting up the LV sky in July! There’s a special tingling of excitement as the magic moment approaches. When the big explosions begin and the dark night sky at Lake Viking becomes alight with fireworks. Finally – showtime! And the beauty is that with all of followup activity of more fireworks displays – large and small – the show lasts the rest of the night. So after a buildup of several days, with the nighttime sky intermittently alight from all of the private and often very impressive displays, we can take satisfaction that July, 6, 2019, was the climax of another successful Fourth of July weekend. I’ve said it many times, the Fourth of July weekend is definitely the crowning moment of the summer season. And it’s an event that comes with much preparation. At the PWSD #3 water plant, Roger Barker always makes sure several days in advance that towers and wells are full and the pumping capacity is cranked up a few notches. Without this advance preparation, the heavy water usage over the Independence Day weekend would send the water plant into a tailspin. Likewise for Shad Mort’s maintenance team which does a lot of mowing and other cosmetic effects that allow the lake to put on its best face. Once the big day has arrived, there is the usual build-up of preliminary events: Lions Club breakfast which has been a Fourth of July fixture since anyone can remember, and the bazaar at the clubhouse, which always brings in a diverse group to display their crafts. The pictures in this issue of Lake Viking News give a summary of the day’s activities. The one thing pictures in a newspaper can never quite capture, however, is that “ín the moment feeling” when brilliant fireworks are exploding overhead and giving illumination to all the navigation lights of all the boats in the water as far as the eye can see. If there is any complaint about this great tradition, it’s that it passes so quickly. ~ Troy Lesan [Photo from Michelle Williamson post on LV Facebook page]
Next VVA Board Meeting:
Call to Order Troy Lesan, Lot 576, called the meeting to order at 6:30 p.m. in the lower level of the clubhouse. Members in attendance were Eric Odette, Lot 220; Mark Leggett, Lot 72 and Tony Gronniger, Lot 2281and Mike Booth, Lot 1259. Susan Zalenski, Lot 364 and Flint Hibler, Lot 183, were unable to attend. Shad Mort led the Pledge of Allegiance. Mark Leggett led in prayer. Noting the large standing room only crowd of 60, President Troy Lesan thanked the membership for their participation and taking time to attend the meeting. Approval of Minutes Mark Leggett moved to approve the minutes of the June 9, 2019, board meeting. Tony Gronniger seconded; motion passed. Committee Reports Handbook Committee: No Report Finance Committee: Eric Odette reported income was up and expenses are slightly down. Our income on delinquent accounts is up $6,000. We are still waiting word about our application for State Tax Exemption. Also discussed at the last meeting was the large amount of cash we have on hand that is only drawing 0.25% interest. Recently we moved $225,000 into a CD that is drawing 2.35%. The Finance Committee discussed investing another $450,000 and stagger the maturity dates of 2 more CDs, and that was accomplished this week with one 4-month CD at 1.95% and one 6-month CD at 2.00%. Other topics of discussion were dam repairs in the future, penalties on delinquent accounts, selling the old dredge, and mowing fees. Glenn Miller joined the meeting by phone and just wanted to say he was proud of the way the 5-year plan is on track. Strategic Planning Committee: There was no Strategic Planning Committee meeting this month, Mark Leggett asked if there was anyone wanting to work on a long term Strategic Plan for Lake Viking to please contact the Office or Susan Zalenski. They would like to start work on this sometime in August. Tony Gronniger commented there were about 20 volunteers so far.

For the past several years, as a Board Member, the topic that I hear most often from membership is “boating safety,” specifically the enforcement of rules, and also the need to better protect boat docks from damage due to excessive wake. Last year the Lake Committee had open meetings to discuss these issues, and this year I formed a sub-committee LAKEupVIEW! to discuss furtherPERFECT and come with rules. For the past few months, this sub-committee has had several meetings which have resulted in rule proposals. (See above Special Meeting Notice.

Lake Closure The Lake Manager will have the authority to close the lake to all watercraft traffic, if deemed dangerous conditions exist, such as, high water levels, debris or other circumstances that may present a hazard to the members or damage to property. There is a gauge on the spillway at the dam. When the water level goes above a foot the lake is shut down. The Maintenance Department then goes out to check for debris that comes in from the creeks leading into the lake. NO WATERCRAFT WILL BE ALLOWED ON THE LAKE with the exception of Maintenance and/or Safety patrol watercraft until such time the lake is deemed safe by the Lake Manager. Any unauthorized watercraft on the water when the lake is closed will be issued an infraction ticket. Notification will be made through our website and other social media utilized by the lake.

VVA Board Minutes Activities Committee: Eric Odette covered the activities in Mary Hibler’s absence. The craft bazaar was held at the clubhouse over the 4th of July holiday and it was a great success. There were more vendors this year than we have ever had. The next Activities event will be the “Patio Party” on July 27 at the lower level of the clubhouse with live music, and on Aug. 10 there will be a “Kids Day in the Park.” Mark Leggett commented that the fireworks were great, but “South Beach” (Nick Conforti) kicked it up a notch. Building Committee: Doug Wiltse reported there were 12 permits in June and Tom Johanson commented they have already approved another new home for July. Fire Department: The Fire Department participated in the 4th of July festivities with their pumper spraying water at Beach 1. Tony Gronniger reported that at their last meeting they tested the sirens and checked all their trucks. Campground: Mike Booth reported the campgrounds were full over the 4th of July. All four of the weekend spaces were rented. Mike also reminded everyone to watch their speed when driving through the campgrounds. There are a lot of small children. Lake Committee: No report from the Lake Committee, but Troy Lesan announced there would be a report during guest time, from the temporary sub-committee that was formed to look at boating rules. Infraction Committee: Roger Lankford gave a report on the latest infraction meeting. There were 38 tickets reviewed, with infractions ranging from 911 street addresses, boat ramp violations, dumpsters at construction sites and no sealable trash containers. It was the most tickets for a meeting this year and lasted 3-1/2 hours. Mark Leggett would like to take a look at the ticket process and make sure the letters going out to members explain that process. Another issue Mark would like the Board and the Handbook Committee to review is the timing of when we change rules. We put the Infraction Committee in a tough situation when a new handbook is printed and then we change a rule. Dredge Committee: Shawn Hepinstall presented the latest dredge report. We are continuing the dredge process in 3 tubes, but the issue now is we are dredging more product than we have storage for. Originally we estimated there were 10,000 to 12,000 cubic yards to take out. We reconditioned that pond, but now it is full with an estimated 16,000 to 18,000 cubic yards. We believe there is an estimated 5000 to 8000 cubic yards in the bowl of 3 tubes to come out. There is an upper pond that for a few thousand dollars we can doze out and finish 3 tubes. We will also start working on repairing weirs in the creeks that have been washed out in the last couple of storms. Robert Hayes, a member of the Dredge Committee, has developed an RFP to send to several engineers to get bids for a plan for the south end pond. There are 5-6 firms we will be sending this to. We would like to be able to get this RFP out by the first of August, so by November we can choose a bid for the engineering plan. These bids could range from $35,000 to $50,000. Eric Odette explained that the Finance Committee has looked at the financials to see where we can take this money from to pay for the RFP. We have a State Farm Money Market account that is about $29,000 and the balance could come from reducing the Capital Expenditures this year. It was discussed sending this RFP to our attorney to look over before we send it out. Shawn explained to the members that when we dredge the south end we take out 100,000 to 125,000 cubic yards of silt. The pond in that area is full and we are looking to recondition that pond to get room for 300,000 to 350,000 cubic yards capacity for that pond. That could equate to 10 years capacity for dredging the south end. We are asking for the RFP to tell us what it will cost to recondition and it could be as much as $750,000. During this process there will have to be several agencies involved, including Soil and Conservation Department, the Corps of Engineers and Department of Natural Resources. Resa Wiltse asked
www.LakeVikingMo.com
(continued from page 1)
how all of this would affect the 5-year plan, since 3 tubes has not been completed on schedule. Shawn responded by saying the 5-year plan is still basically intact. We have $100,000 budget each year now to clean up 3 tubes and a couple of other areas and then, the 5-year plan is geared to put a new pond facility in the south end by 2022 or 2023. Mark Leggett stressed that dredging is the #1 concern for this lake and he has never felt more comfortable about the direction this committee is taking. It will be a tremendous financial undertaking for this lake and it is going to take a lot of money. Mark continued by saying we are challenged as a Board, a Dredge Committee and a Finance Committee to figure out how we can do this. Mark thanked Shawn and his committee for their commitment and hard work on this project. Shawn continued by letting the members know that many discussions have taken place at Board meetings, town hall meetings and the annual meetings to find ways to finance a new silt facility at the south end. The 5-year plan was a start. We have discussed raising assessments or possibly selling some Community Areas that are not utilized to help raise funds. In order to sell any Community Areas, it will have to be taken to the membership for a vote at an Annual Meeting or Special Meeting. Cathy Poindexter expressed her concerns about selling these areas because then what would the tier owners do for access to the lake. Cathy has a community area across the street from where she lives and says her family and many others use it frequently. Shawn did say this was just one of the options that had been discussed and that not all of the community areas are used. Shad Mort, Lake Manager, explained that he and the committee have been around and looked at all the community areas and they have developed a list of the ones they feel are not utilized by the members or maintenance, and
those are the ones that could possibly be sold. The members will ultimately make that decision. Lake Manager Report (Shad Mort) 1. Road work: Shad Mort talked about the ongoing patching of roads that will continue for a while, and then in September will be the chip and seal process. Shad was asked if anything could be done different to keep the dust down during the chip and seal. Shad is working with the quarry to get clean, washed chips. 2. E.coli testing: A lot of members have been asking about our water quality and if we are doing E.coli testing. Shad turned this over to Troy Lesan, who is also on the Water Board of PWSD #3. Troy said there was a year long testing process by the State of Missouri last year for E.coli and other bacteria that might exist anytime there are more than 100 E.coli colonies in a sample.

VVA Board Minutes Viking’s samples resulted in 8 or less colonies of E.coli per sample, so our water proved to be very good. Even if there are 100 colonies in a sample that is still not enough to close a lake. We are in good shape on this because in our watershed there are no commercial feed lots, lagoons or industries that overflow into it. 3. Holiday: Shad reported there were no major accidents over the 4th of July holiday. He thought there were more people here than ever before for this holiday. 4. Assessor: Shad told the members that the county assessor has written two letters to the board requesting that we turn over all building permits to her office. One member commented that she cannot legally get those permits. The board’s position is to not give her the permits because our

obligation is to our members first and foremost. Financials: Eric Odette moved to accept the financial statements. Mike Booth seconded; motion passed Guest Time 1. Jeff Hower: At the June Board Meeting a subcommittee was formed to review the water and boating rules in our handbook. Jeff Hower presented their findings and recommendations to the Board. Rules that they made recommendations on included: maximum sound level, exceptions to lake closure, excessive wake and distance updates for buoys and watercraft. The committee asked for board approval on the exceed maximum sound level and exceptions to lake closure, but wanted the remaining changes to be discussed with the members at an Annual Meeting. After a lengthy discus-
Viking Valley Association Income Vs. Budget For the Six Months Ending June 30, 2019
sion, the board tabled all the recommendations to give them more time to review the changes. Mark Leggett seconded the motion. Motion passed. 2. Nick Conforti: Nick had concerns about a ticket he was issued for trash. He had put some golf clubs and water tubes out by the road and had a sign on them to give away. The sign must have blown away and then he received a ticket for not having them in a closed container for trash. Nick attended the Infraction Meeting, which lasted 3½ hours. He believes some of these tickets are excessive. Mark Leggett asked if the Handbook Committee could take a look at the trash rules again. Board Action 1. Members needing replacement cards: Shad Mort reported to the board that the office has had a lot of calls this year wanting replacement cards and mostly guest cards. They say they have lost them or they never got them in the mail. The office says there have been more requests this year than ever and they have only had their cards for a couple of months. It does say in the handbook there is a maximum limit of two cards per membership (2 family membership cards and 2 guest cards). No action was taken on this issue, but the board will give it some thought. 2. Delinquent members using another member’s guest card: Shad Mort explained to the board that members that are not in good standing are getting someone’s guest card to access the pool. We know for a fact this has happened. The pool monitors don’t know when this is happening because they don’t know who is paid and who is not, but we have seen this happen and Shad believes there should be a fine associated with this if someone is caught using a guest card when they themselves are in arrears to the Association. Mark Leggett made a motion that “Members not in good standing using another member’s guest card to access any lake amenities, both parties, are subject to an infraction.” Eric Odette seconded; motion passed. Adjourn: Tony Gronniger moved to adjourn into Executive Session to discuss legal issues at 8:17 p.m. Eric Odette seconded; motion passed.

Hops Field Day Aug. 6 By Tim Baker, Extension Professional and Horticulture Specialist
One of the fascinating aspects of horticulture is the amazing number of plants we get to deal with, many of which are grown as crops for income. Many growers keep an eye out for new crops, which may offer revenue potential for their operations. While hops are not a new crop at all, the idea of growing them commercially in Missouri is new for our generation. Historically hops were grown commercially many years ago in Missouri. Most of the commercial production areas for growing hops are now located in other parts of the country, especially in the Pacific Northwest. A few years ago, several MU Extension horticulturists received a grant to research hops production in Missouri. They started with test plots at several MU Ag Experiment Stations around the state. Ten varieties were chosen for these demonstration trials. On Tuesday, Aug. 6, MU Extension will be holding a Hops Field Day at the Bradford Ag Experiment Station near Columbia. The meeting runs from 2-6 pm. Registration is not required, and there is no cost to attend. The field day will be of particular interest to horticultural producers, craft brewers and home brewers. We will start with a tour of the demonstration plots, and then move inside for further discussion. The day will end with tasting of different craft beers for those who are interested. For more information, please call Cory Creed at 816270-2141.

Census timeline begins with canvassing; apply online for jobs available now The 2020 census day is a year away but the Census Bureau is recruiting and hiring people for important preliminary work right now. Applicants can qualify for both field and office positions. The office positions, which are more limited, will be located in area census offices. The role of these offices is to recruit, select, hire, train, manage, and pay all office and field staff who work within the designated boundaries of the geographic territory assigned to the office. In-field address canvassers are being hired this spring. The actual work of confirming addresses will start in mid-August. 2020 Census jobs offer good pay, flexible hours, a weekly paycheck and paid training. You can set your own time schedule. You can work five hours one week and 40 the next week. The pay is $13-14 an hour (more for an office position) and canvassers are reimbursed 58 cents per mile. You will be updating an address list. In-Field Address Canvassing is the process of visiting specific geographic areas to identify every place where people live or could live. Field staff then compare what they see on the ground to the existing census address list. They verify, correct, or add address and location information. Thanks to modern technology and innovations, 99% of the time you won’t get out of the car, according to one local recruiter. You need to be a little tech savvy because you will be using an I-pad, which is provided. You must be 18 years-old and a citizen. You can apply online and the interview is done over the phone. You will need to get fingerprinted for a background check. If offered a job, you will receive instructions on next steps via email. Even if you’re not selected for a canvassing position, your name may be put back in the pool for jobs that open later this year or in 2020. Your application will remain on file. The Address Canvassing operation will be completed in October. Then the Census Bureau will finalize the address list for the 2020 Census. The mapping tool will help address what is historically a huge issue in rural parts of the United States: uncounted residents. Houses down rural roads and back in the woods
aren’t always easy to find. People with local knowledge and experience are being recruited for the count. It’s not just our civic duty. Census data is how we secure funding to meet community needs. An accurate count is crucial. The census will determine the number of seats each state has in the U.S. House of Representatives; and it will be used to plan for roads, schools, and hospitals. Applications are available online at 2020census. gov/jobs or for more information, please call 1-855JOB-2020. The US Census Bureau is an Equal Opportunity Employer. Applying for one of these jobs is simple. Pay rates for field and clerical jobs can be found at: 2020census.gov/jobs/locations/national-map.html.

Safe Boating practices shared by Missouri State Highway Patrol In addition to making sure your boat equipment is in compliance with state law, make sure you are familiar with laws regarding boat operation and traditional navigational rules. Remember: Missouri law requires everyone born after January 1, 1984, who operates a vessel on Missouri lakes to possess an approved boating safety identification card. In 2018, there were 173 boating accidents reported in Missouri, with 101 injuries, and 16 fatalities. When boaters understand and obey the law, and vessels are in good operating order, everyone’s experience becomes safer. A life jacket for everyone on board is a must! Children under seven years old are required to wear a personal flotation device in a boat, but you are never too old to wear a life jacket! Life jackets are now lighter, less obtrusive, and more comfortable than ever before. The new inflatable life jackets allow mobility and flexibility for activities like boating, fishing, or paddling, and are much cooler in the warmer weather. Although not required by law, children playing along the shoreline or on a dock should wear a life jacket. A drowning can occur quickly, with little or no sign the victim is struggling. Life jackets save lives, please wear yours! It is important for each boat operator to know the capabilities of their boat. Reducing your speed in unfamiliar areas and being aware of unusual water conditions respective to the size and type of boat you operate are just a couple of environmental considerations. Extended time in the sun and the constant motion of the water effects every vessel operator. It’s important to recognize the dangers of boater fatigue. Stay alert while enjoying Missouri’s lakes and rivers. Additionally, if you combine alcohol with boater fatigue your reaction time and

thought process will be much slower. Designate a sober captain if you choose to consume alcohol. Additional safe boating tips: 1) Be a defensive boat operator ... creating distance from other boats equals more reaction time. 2) Adjust your speed for the conditions ... if visibility is poor, or the water is rough, slow down! 3) Turn off the boat while passengers are entering/exiting the water. 4) If you will be out on the water after dark, check your navigation lights before you leave the dock or Over 5,000 Sq Ft Finished 3 Car Attached Garage ramp.

Third Annual Lake Viking Poker Run ... On your mark!
Almost forgotten amidst the blaze of July Fireworks in the sky, was the 3rd Annual Lake Viking Poker Run which occurred on June 15 just after the printing deadline for this paper’s June edition. Why am I not surprised to report that this year’s Poker Run was the biggest yet? “Bigger” and “better” seem to be words automatically associated with Activities Committee Events. The 170 participants nearly doubled the previous number. This is getting to be one of the bigger events put on by the Activities Committee. Above, the ATVs congregate at the clubhouse parking lot at the end of the day to see who has the winning hands. At right, Poker Run Poster Child: Eric Odette is one of the many Activities Committee Members who can be counted on to help. Below, Lake Viking Poker Runs are fun for the whole family! ~ Troy Lesan.

Tips on electric safety at pools, marinas in the summer months Denzil Roll
1942-2019 Denzil “Denny” Roll, 77, Gallatin, passed away June 11, 2019, at the Northwest Medical Center in Albany. Denny was born on February 13, 1942, the son of C.C. and Lola (Pritchard) Roll in Centertown. He was a 1960 graduate of Jefferson City High School and then served in the Navy for four years in Alameda, CA. Following his discharge, he returned to Jefferson City and became a police officer with the Jefferson City Police Department from 1964 to 1966. On Sept. 4, 1965, he married Sandy Denny, daughter of Bob and Bee Denny of Jefferson City. In 1966 Denzil joined the Kansas City Police Department. He served two years in the K-9 Unit which used dogs for narcotic searches and felony apprehensions. He later moved to patrol duty where on his watch he risked his life to save a vehicle accident victim. Denzil received an Award for Valor for his bravery. Denzil retired from the Kansas City Police Department after 25 years of service. Denzil and Sandy owned and operated a small farm in Cass County for 20 years which was sold a year after his retirement when they returned to Jefferson City. Denzil took a post with the Federal Courts in Jefferson City and was certified by the Department of Justice United States Marshals Service Training Academy in Louisiana in 1995. Before leaving Jefferson City, Denzil was a member of the Masonic Lodge #43 and past Master. Denzil was a hard worker who enjoyed farming and working outdoors. He loved horses but especially loved his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Mr. Roll was preceded in death by his parents; brother, Morris Roll; brother, Leroy Roll; sister, Muriel Lampe; sister, Pauline Bedsworth; sister, Hazel Howard; sister, Flo Goodman; sister, Barbara Downing and sister, Iva Giraldes. Those left to mourn his passing include wife, Sandy, of the home; daughter, Dawn (Dorsey) Embrey of Oak Grove, MO; son, Shawn (Jackie) Roll of King City, MO; sister, Naomi Hencey, Phoenix, AZ.; grandchildren, Coleman (Ernie) Embrey of Overland Park, KS, Barak (Savana) Embrey of Blue Springs, MO, Macey Embrey of Neosho, MO, Cindy (Dalton) Odneal of Blue Springs, MO, Cat Embrey of Kansas City, MO; great-grandchildren, Aidan, Cosette and Lucy, and many nieces and nephews. A “Celebration of Life” was celebrated on June 29 at 36400 E. Colbern Road, Lone Jack, with arrangements under the direction of Stith Funeral Home in Gallatin.

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) is reminding people about potential electrical hazards that exist in swimming pools, hot tubs and spas, onboard boats and in waters surrounding boats, marinas, and launch ramps. Most people have never heard of nor are they aware of electrical dangers posed in water environments such as electric shock drowning (ESD), and each year people are injured or killed from these hazards. Electric shock drowning happens when marina or onboard electrical systems leak electric current into the water. The current then passes through the body and causes paralysis. When this happens, a person can no longer swim and ultimately drowns. Video available: https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=8oMMn8jJ5fk Tips for swimmers a. Never swim near a marina, dock or boatyard, or near a boat while it’s running. b. While in a pool, hot tub or spa, look out for underwater lights that are not working properly, flicker or work intermittently. c. If you feel a tingling sensation while in a pool, immediately stop swimming in your current direction. Try and swim in a direction where you had not felt the tingling. Exit the water as quickly as possible; avoid using metal ladders or rails. Touching metal may increase the risk of shock. Tips for pool owners a. If you are putting in a new pool, hot tub or spa, be sure the wiring is performed by an electrician experienced in the special safety requirements for these types of installations. b. Have a qualified electrician periodically inspect and — where necessary — replace or upgrade the electrical devices or equipment that keep your pool, spa or hot tub electrically safe. Have the electrician show you how to turn off all power in case of an emergency. c. Make sure any overhead lines maintain the proper distance over a pool and other structures, such as a diving board. If you have any doubts, contact a qualified electrician or your local utility company to make sure power lines are a safe distance away. Tips for boat owners a. Avoid entering the water when launching or loading a boat. Docks or boats can leak electricity into the water causing water electrification. b. Each year, and after a major storm that affects the boat, have the boat’s electrical system inspected by a qualified marine electrician to be sure it meets the required codes of your area, includ-

ing the American Boat & Yacht Council. Make the necessary repairs if recommended. Check with the marina owner who can also tell you if the marina’s electrical system has recently been inspected to meet the required codes of your area, including the National Electrical Code® (NEC). c. Have ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCI) installed on the boat; use only portable GFCIs or shore power cords (including “Y” adapters) that are Marine Listed when using electricity near water. Test GFCIs monthly. “With continued education and awareness about ESD, we can help reduce the risk of ESD from happening,” said Lorraine Carli, NFPA’s vice president of Outreach and Advocacy. “Before participating in water activities, have swimming pool equipment, hot tubs and spas, or your boat inspected by a qualified electrician; have them regularly maintained to ensure life saving measures and protection systems are functioning properly during the summer and throughout the year.” NFPA has additional resources for swimmers, boat and pool owners, including tip sheets, checklists, and more that can be downloaded and shared. Please visit www.nfpa.org/watersafety. For industry professionals, the 2017 NFPA 70, National Electrical Code® (NEC®) has been revised to improve pool safety and help reduce the risk of ESD; proposed revisions to the 2020 NEC edition include ground-fault protection in marinas and boatyards. NFPA has additional codes and standards that apply to boats and marinas and their related electrical safety issues. Find these resources and more by visiting NFPA’s NEC webpage. “NFPA continues to raise awareness and help educate people about this troubling trend,” said Carli. “We encourage everyone to share these safety resources with people they know so everyone can safely enjoy water activities during the summer and all year long.” About the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Founded in 1896, NFPA is a global, nonprofit organization devoted to eliminating death, injury, property and economic loss due to fire, electrical and related hazards. The association delivers information and knowledge through more than 300 consensus codes and standards, research, training, education, outreach and advocacy; and by partnering with others who share an interest in furthering the NFPA mission.

The last kind act…
Memorializing the dead takes special touch by T.L. Huffman
Taking care of dead bodies for a livelihood might seem strange or depressing to some people. But for Mariah Gibson, a funeral director and embalmer, it’s a matter of perspective. “I know it sounds weird,” Mariah says. “But I don’t feel much emotion about something I can’t change. They’ve passed away. I’ll do my best to honor them and serve the community that raised me.” It may seem an unlikely calling for the 34-year-old 2003 graduate of Gallatin High School. She didn’t come from a long line of family funeral directors. But Mariah actually did have an experience that helped her decide her profession. “I was working at a local facility for the elderly, thinking of going to nursing school. A gentleman passed away in the night. The people who came to get him were very disrespectful. That’s when I decided that’s what I wanted to do.” Mariah graduated Magna Cum Laude from Kansas City Kansas Community College in 2008, and successfully passed a two-part national board examination prior to graduation. She was a member of Sigma Phi Sigma Fraternity of Mortuary Science and a selected member of the
Mariah says the most rewarding aspect of the job is the appreciation that families express for all that she has done for them. Most families are truly grateful for the stressful nature of her job, that she is available to them 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and that she is a comforting presence at the very worst of times. “Death is ugly,” Mariah says. “Disease, aging, trauma or accidents, it takes a horrible toll on the body. I try to restore the person to the positive memory-picture that family and friends have of them, to when they were more of a complete person, before the decline. Whole and complete and at peace, that’s the goal.”
bad accident.” To unwind from the day, Mariah loves to bake and cook, spend time with family and friends, do word puzzles and go to concerts. She is the daughter of Jeannie and the late Bob Gibson. Jeannie is retired from a nursing career and Bob passed away in 2012. Mariah has a son Vince, who is eight and in second grade at Searcy R-5 Elementary. Her siblings are Annie and Daryn.
Mariah has been 13 years in the profession. During her career so far, she has seen the phenomenon of four or five husbands and wives who have passed within a year or so of each other. While going to college and working at a funeral home in Kansas City, she had the unpleasant experience of Fred Phelps with the Westboro Baptist Church — who picketed the funerals of military veterans and disaster victims — protesting a procession. She fears her profession may not last; that she may not be able to retire an embalmer. Traditional funeral arrangements are slipping away. “There’s a whole generation that doesn’t want to deal with death,” she says. “When someone dies, life becomes crazy. It’s a lot of work, though it doesn’t have to be.” Cremation is less expensive than a traditional burial. In America, roughly 50% of final arrangements are cremation. “My own dad wanted to be cremated,” Mariah says. “He’d tell us ‘when I die throw me in the fryer.’ And that’s what we did because that’s what he wanted.” However, she thinks the process of burial is good psychologically for people. “To see a still and lifeless body allows people to cope and move on from the loss,” she says. “In this area, enough know what they want to do; they want to go into the earth for religious reasons. Traditional values carry us through.”
While in college, Mariah worked with Larry West, who was from Pattonsburg. The funeral home performed from 250 to 300 funerals a year, nearly all Catholic. “That was quite an eye opener,” she says. “Everything about a Catholic funeral is a little bit different. And it was interesting to see the volume at a large city funeral home.” She worked for nearly three years at McGilley until graduating college and during that time knew only three people whose funerals were performed there; they came from area nursing facilities. Mostly she When we went through the untimely death of my worked with strangers.

Mariah Gibson
Mariah’s favorite part of her job is getting to know people — even if a lot of times it’s after the fact. “Everybody is loved,” Mariah says. “I get to hear stories people would never tell you on their own. Most fond memories don’t involve expensive things. It’s ice cream at 3 a.m.; a stop at a roadside park; a talk at the kitchen table. It’s always the simple things.” Everybody’s important to somebody. “Always somebody comes to a funeral. Sometimes the great-grandchildren come. Even if that great-grandparent wouldn’t know them, they come to pay their respects. It’s touching to see how many turn out. We touch a lot of people in our lives.” And for many of those who have passed in our area, Mariah’s is the last kind touch on this side.

Maintenance guys move some big stuff! Pictured left to right are VVA employees Rich Reynolds, Rusty Hendricks, Nick Walker, Jared Rains, Jett Simmons and Morgan Corwin. Not pictured are Patrick Blixt and Riley Blades. These guys patch the roads, dredge, mow, cut trees and brush, and maintain the property including plowing snow in winter. They do it all. And oh, yes: they also go out on the work boat during high water events and remove vast amounts of drift from the lake. Drift is an understatement. Some of the stuff they pull into shore and dispose of in the burn pile is of unbelievable size, as these photos (at right) will verify. Hats off to our maintenance team for the job they do. ~ Troy Lesan
