Audit gives Stover school district clean bill of health

The Morgan County R-I School Board Wednesday, Dec. 21 received a grade of “full compliance” from an audit of the district’s finances and administrative practices. Auditor Diana Closterman, a CPA and partner with Westbrook & Co. of Richmond, gave a report about her second annual visit in a three-year engagement. Among her findings was an approximate $448,000 increase in the district’s net position since last year. She noted the district had a budget reserve ratio of 48.56 percent, or enough to operate for six months with no revenue. She said the state Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) likes to see reserves of at least 24 percent. Closterman also noted the district’s average daily attendance (ADA) increased 28 since last year, likely to bring in more basic-formula funding from the state. She said the audit found no material or budget non-compliance with statutes or administrative practices. However, Closterman noted a

potential problem with segregation of duties, since secretarytreasurer Gaylene Bauer carries a lot of responsibility for the district’s finances. She stressed Bauer has never been accused of any improprieties, but said this internal controls deficit is often seen in smaller districts, which do not have the staff to provide more checks and balances. It could become a problem if there is a staffing change. Closterman reported the child nutrition and special services programs both received high marks, with food service scoring a difficult-to-achieve A in the audit. In suggesting ways to strengthen internal controls, Closerman advised the school board to reconsider its purchasing policy. She suggested raising the threshold for requiring competitive bids to approximately $10,000, to ensure the procedure is costeffective. In summary, Closterman said, the district shows “stellar, healthy” reserves, an “excellent” increase in ADA, and a need for “just a couple tweaks on internal controls.”

District to upgrade HVAC, buy van

School board betting big on debt retirement

The Morgan County R-I School Board approved budget amendments for the 2016-2017 school year, including a $1 million investment in retiring the Stover schools’ lease-purchase debt. The transfer of $350,000 from the general fund (Fund 1) to the capital fund (Fund 4) makes it possible for the district to pay off the $1,010,000 it owes for buying school buses. Other budget amendments on the revenue side included: • An additional $50,338 in projected revenue from current taxes, plus $5,148 additional revenue from delinquent taxes, due to an increase in the district’s assessed valuation after an equalization adjustment. • An additional $156,880 in anticipated basic-formula funding from the state, due to an increase in the district’s average daily attendance since last year. • Another $17,999 in funding from 50/50 grants to the vocational education program. • A $300 decrease in expected funding for the high needs program. • Approximately $2,200 less expected from a needs-based program providing tuition assistance for the district’s statelicensed preschool, due to fewer-than-expected families qualifying for the aid. • A $30,000 downward adjustment in funding expected from the Missouri Preschool Program grant, since the district will receive these funds during the 2017-2018 school year. • A $5,000 deduction in revenue through the Early Childhood Special Education program, due to a coding error. • An added carryover of $16,000 through the Small Rural School Achievement program. Additional expenditures included, among other items, $58,000 for the architect’s fees relating to the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) 75/25 grant to build a

tornado shelter at the school. Van purchase Superintendent Matt Unger advised the board he received one price quote after sending for three competitive bids to purchase a 10-passenger van. Unger had urged the district to buy such a van, to allow the district to save money when sending small groups of students and staff to meets and conferences, instead of sending a bus or reimbursing mileage on staff members’ personal vehicles. Unger also pointed out having a van that a teacher could drive to away games could allow the team bus to return home immediately after drop-off, if only a handful of students would need a ride home after the game. Unger noted 10-passenger vans, the largest size the state will allow for this purpose, are harder to find than 12- or 15passenger vans. The price quote Unger received from Sakelaris Ford in Versailles suggested the district should be looking for a van in the $25,000-$27,000 price range. School board member Steve Eckhoff advised Unger about two vans that recently appeared on the Lloyd Belt lot in Eldon. Deciding to leave the choice of vendor in Unger’s hands, the board voted to authorize him to spend $25,000 to $27,000 to buy a 10-passenger van. HVAC The board approved a $10,550 estimate from Ace Pro Contracting, LLC of Sedalia to expand the variable refrigerant flow (VRF) HVAC system serving the school’s central office, lobby, preschool classroom, nurse’s office, sickbay, and one adjacent kindergarten classroom. The upgrades include: • connecting two ceiling cassettes, one 12,000 BTU and one 36,000 BTU, to the VRF system for $8,000. • installing low ambient temperature controls on eight 7.5-

The Stover Fair Board has planned a “New Year’s Eve bash” Saturday, Dec. 31 at the Stover Community Center. The doors open 6:30 p.m. for socializing and games.

New Year’s Eve bash to benefit Stover Fair

ton condensers installed earlier this year, to allow the units to run in outdoor temperatures down to 45 degrees without triggering a low-pressure lockout safety switch, for $2,150. • installing motorized damper controls on outdoor intake ducts in the junior high wing, where outside air tends to sink into the classrooms during cold weather, for $400. The total cost of the project is expected to be $10,550, and the work is to be done during the Christmas break. Emergency shelter The board approved a contract with Incite Design Studio of Kansas City to provide architect services on the FEMA-funded tornado shelter. Unger said the board’s approval on the contract was required before the architect could receive FEMA grant money for its work. He also noted there was a considerable amount of “back

and forth” between the attorneys on both sides of the deal. Executive session In a closed session following its regular, public meeting, the school board: • accepted the resignations of food service employee Ashley Anderson and preschool teacher Mary Michael, effective at the end of the school year. • accepted written retirement requests from paraprofessional Joyce Marriott after 19 years of service to the district, and elementary school secretary Sandy Holem after more than 30 years of service. • hired Tabitha Monroe as a food service employee and Randy Jarvis as a special education paraprofessional. • approved the district’s substitute list. The MCR-I school board is next scheduled to meet 7 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 18, 2017 in the Stover school library.

Other school board business:

• Superintendent Matt Unger reported the district had a combined account balance of $2,520,322.88, including two CDs with a balance of $500,000 each. “We’re in good shape,” he said, noting local revenue should start arriving in January. • High school principal Michael Marriott reported 281 students were enrolled last month in grades 7-12, with 95.47-percent attendance. He noted Jared Bellis was voted assistant coach of the year by the Missouri Soccer Coaches’ Association. He said the high school leadership team agreed to look at a senior class proposal to decorate their graduation caps to showcase their achievements. • Elementary principal Molly Roe reported 450 students were enrolled last month in preschool through sixth grade, with 96.15percent attendance. • Roe said her staff has discussed only keeping the state license for the Missouri Preschool Program grant-funded preschool class, but letting the second preschool continue simply as a high-quality program without licensing. This was in response to the district receiving less funding than expected from a needs-based tuition assistance program, due to fewer families qualifying for the aid than expected. • Special Services director Heather Oelrichs reported 116 students were enrolled last month in an Individualized Education Program (IEP), and five more evaluations were in progress. Three students were placed in the E.W. Thompson State School for the Severely Handicapped, and one student was placed at the State School for the Deaf. • Oelrichs discussed having an instructor from the Hook Center in Jefferson City visit once a week to help the older students prepare for written drivers’ tests. She also noted several staff members will attend a Crisis Prevention Intervention training Tuesday, Jan. 3, 2017 in Sedalia, to prepare them to engage physically with a student if neeeded. • Oelrichs also advised the board a labor-intensive and costly civil rights compliance review is scheduled in February, to allow the state Department of Elementary and Secondary Education to measure the school’s compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act. Among the items DESE will audit are the placement of IEP students in vocational programs, and the handicap accessibility of entrances/exits, elevators, lifts, drinking fountains, desks, doorways, ramps, restrooms, and other facilities throughout the campus. • The board discussed a self-evaluation tool and reviewed a tentative agenda for its Saturday, Jan. 7, 2017 strategic planning workshop, at a location to be determined. • The board passed job descriptions for a librarian, a building secretary, and the director of special services. Oelrichs’ job description needed to be updated to comply with the requirements for a Title IX (civil rights) coordinator. • The board also approved a revision of the school’s procedures for dealing with a hostage or armed intruder situation.

Stover Star

The certificate recognized Simon’s commitment to the community as a volunteer and park board member, involved in youth sports and concessions, and that he “contributes more to our community than he takes.” Chosen by last month’s winner Joe Menning, Simon is to “pay it forward” by picking next month’s Stover Star.

NR.otes of Interest D. F by ish Now that Christmas has gone by, all the world has a merciful moment of relative calm. It’s a perfect time to have a fit of grouchiness. The Grinch has nothing on the week between Christmas and New Year’s Day! The annual shopping craze is over, except the odd after-Christmas clearance sale. But for many of us, the paycheck after Christmas is probably already spent. That empty-wallet feeling is just part of the post-holiday blues, along with a sugar hangover from overdoing the cookies, eggnog, fruitcake, and candy - for many of us, a daily staple of our diet during the week or month leading up to Christmas. Yes, people kept bringing munchies to the office and giving them as gifts. ’Twas the season to load up on empty calories. ’Tis the season, now, to go into junk-food junkie withdrawal. Maybe, by the time we give up on our New Year’s resolution, we’ll have lost five or six of the 10 pounds we put on this past month. But we’re not going to have much fun doing it. New Year’s resolutions tend to die a sad death sometime in the first quarter of the year. Maybe, instead of starting to work on them immediately, we should

write them down in a letter to ourselves, sealed in an envelope marked “Open 11-20-2017” - the Monday before Thanksgiving. That would be a good time to start keeping our 2017 resolutions, if they go like this: • I resolve not to over-indulge or encourage over-indulgence in sweets during the holidays, by giving them as gifts or by bringing them to work or church or other gatherings. Instead, I will brighten my neighbors’ holidays with less fattening tokens of Christmas cheer, such as handmade crafts, custom-designed greeting cards, or healthier snacks, like trays of cheese, cured meat, and crackers, or platters of fruit and vegetables. Maybe I can make a nutritious Rudolph cheese-log sculpture using grape stems as antlers and a cherry tomato as his nose. • I resolve not to shop on Black Friday. I don’t want to see my friends and neighbors at their worst. I don’t want to spoil a much-needed day of rest in a noisy, stressful, crowded place. I refuse to celebrate Christmas by maxing out my credit card at a corporate box store. Instead, I will patronize local businesses, browsing for gifts

December 25, 1936 Mr. and Mrs. Charley Miller, residing south of the Paul Spurlock place between Stover and Versailles, had a narrow escape from serious injury Saturday night about 7 p.m. when a car driven by Harb Marriott ran into their buggy. The accident happened just east of where Mr. and Mrs. Miller leave the highway to the south. The buggy was so badly demolished that it would seem impossible for the occupants to escape with slight injuries, but this they did. December 27, 1946 “The peace on earth, good will toward men” symbolical of Christmas today was not typical of the manner of yuletide celebration in Missouri a century ago. Then, the day was celebrated with a bang, and the more noise the merrier. When the German immigration to Missouri received an impetus in 1834, the beautiful Christmas custom of having a Christmas tree was unknown until initiated by the immigrants. Instead, native Missourians observed the occasion by shooting firearms and firecrackers. December 27, 1956 A reduction in the price of gasoline which began about five weeks ago has spread to other towns besides Versailles and Stover. The reduced price of the people near me might like. Right here in town, there are several stores loaded with gift-worthy items, like The Gallery, Stover County Market, Marten’s Consignment and Treasure, and Rocking M Ranch Western Emporium. Also, it won’t be hard to find a local source of quilts! I will make a list of everyone I want to give a gift, and take my time checking them off. Instead of stressing about how to afford the ultimate toy or caving into commercial gimmicks, I will go with my heart and choose a gift that expresses what I feel about each person in my life. • I will give to people I don’t know, and who will never know I was the giver. Worthy causes abound, from the local toy giveaways to the food pantries, Shop with a Cop, and others. If I see a need and there isn’t an organization to serve it, perhaps I will start one, or approach a local group with my idea. It may not immediately bring world peace, but if it helps anyone rest easier, it’s worth it.

in constant dollars than in 1930. The musical “Three Wee Kings” was performed by R-I elementary students Monday night before a large crowd of friends and relatives. The program also included songs by kindergarten and first grade students and the fifth and sixth grade bands. The program was under the direction of Ethel Carson. December 25, 1996 Golden Age Nursing Home should soon undergo a name change and be called Golden Age Living Center, the board of directors were told at their meeting Monday, Dec. 16 by administrator Kenda Bremer. The name change is to take place as soon as paperwork is returned from the Missouri Secretary of State registering the nursing home to do business under the new title. December 27, 2006 Members of the Warren H. Harrell Trust Committee met Wednesday, Dec. 13 at Stover City Hall to discuss how a $15,000 donation given to the city should be spent for the betterment of the community. Committee members, Gilda Manning, chairperson, Ruth Hillers, Jim Phillips, Steve Taylor, and Connie Viebrock were appointed at the October Stover City Council meeting to look at different ways the trust money could be spent.

Library Bookworm

by Stacey Embry, Director, Morgan County Library On Facebook this morning, I shared a funny meme about this past year and the one approaching. I have never been one who understood the whole “I can’t wait until this year is over” mentality. In fact, I noticed so many comments in 2015 about looking forward to a new year that I might have made fun of it to some of my friends and family. Well, my special friend, Karma, decided to show me why people look forward to new years and new beginnings. Would I say 2016 was a “bad” year? Not necessarily. Even with some of the taxing moments of 2016, I still was able to appreciate what I had. A visit to the hospital with a family member; I could see the blessing in finding help and having insurance. I changed jobs this year; it added stress, but it has been rewarding and challenging in a great way. We all survived a weird election and discovered some people just don’t understand “if you don’t have something nice to say, say nothing at all.” So, yes, 2016 wasn’t awful. It just was what it was. This last week, I spent time preparing for 2017. I made new files and transferred old ones. My inner organizing nerd loved this. I brought out our strategic plan to see what I needed to start thinking about. I went “A Beautiful Mind” with sticky notes to line out my year. Don’t worry. I didn’t cover my whole office, just one little board; well, maybe two little boards. I think 2017 is going to a great year for the library. We have four programs planned for the year. Program one will be with Bryan Jones. He will be sharing his percussion collection with us. He is a pretty unique cookie (don’t tell him I said that). He has various percussion instruments from all over the world and will share not only their sounds, but their history. We are looking at a Saturday, March 18 date for this event. Program two will be a “Farmer’s Market.” We are hoping to incorporate this event with our Summer Reading Program. This year, we look forward to involving our adults in SRP. I will be contacting various community

about five cents on the gallon is said to have originated at a new station on Highway 52, east of Versailles. The reduction in price is in its fifth week at Stover. Gasoline retailers in Stover are all selling at one price, 209/10 cents per gallon for regular. December 29, 1966 Winners in the Community Betterment Christmas decoration contest were the homes of Mr. and Mrs. Calvin Viebrock, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Fischer, and Mr. and Mrs. John Otto. Mrs. Celeste Blackman of Stover announces the engagement of her daughter, Miss Karon Harms, to Donald Richardson, son of Mr. and Mrs. Earl Richardson of Eldon. December 29, 1976 If the flowering plant you received or purchased for the holidays had a name that is hard to remember, there is a good chance you have a kalanchoe. Recently, kalanchoes have gained wide acceptance as durable and longlasting flowering house plants. Some reasons for their popularity include better flower colors, as well as the development of bushy compact plants. December 24, 1986 A study by a University of Missouri extension specialist has found that Morgan County and most other counties in the state have less property tax capability

members who grow and sell various produce, eggs, milk, meat, the list goes on. We are blessed by a community of self-sustaining, organic farmers and I am excited for them to share their knowledge and goods with us. Program three will involve pottery. Berenice was inspired by a children’s book we have. She has been nudging me about wanting to do this program for a few months. I put a sticky note up, so she knows I am listening. We are tentatively looking at September date for this program. Program four will be a community music recital. We have so many of our patrons who are learning to develop their various musical talents and would love to give them a place to share their talents with the rest of our community. This program is slated for Sunday, Dec. 17. Our website is getting an overhaul. It has been down since November, but we are hoping by January it will be back; bigger and better. I am hoping to try my hand at a few grants this year, one being a technology grant. I have some big dreams for our library and technology will play a big hand in them. I don’t want to

list specifics, but I will say these areas will benefit the seniors in our community and our genealogy-researching patrons. In February, we will be starting the “1000 Books before Kindergarten” program. It is pretty self-explanatory, reading before a child enters kindergarten. This event will be our first “new” thing we will be starting in 2017. I will share more about this program in next week’s Bookworm. Berenice has worked very hard preparing for this and we are excited to start it. So, 2016 is almost done and we are all looking toward a new year here at the library. If you are friends with me check out my 2016 post on Facebook. It sums it up. Yep 2016 might have thrown me for a loop; but, watch out 2017, I am ready for you. This “Beautiful Mind” has her sticky notes up and she means business! For more information, visit the Morgan County Library, 600 N. Hunter, in Versailles, call 573378-5319; or see the library’s website at morgancountylibrary. org. Library hours are 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Tuesday through Friday, and 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., Saturday.

School Choice Week

Stover Mayor Eckie Knierim signs a proclamation Thursday, Dec. 22 designating Jan. 22-28, 2017 as School Choice Week. The proclamation says the purpose of the event is “to raise awareness of the need for effective educational options.” It also notes “educational variety... enhances the vibrancy of our community.” (submitted photo)

Imanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s English scones bring old-world tradition to Stover Country Market

Morgan County Press, Wednesday, December 28, 2016, Page 6

Connie Iman and Chris Matthews stand behind the pastry (scone) counter at Stover Country Market, located on Highway 52, west of Stover. (photo by Sharon Tausch) by Sharon Tausch Mixing a time-honored English tradition with conventional American cooking brings a savory twist to the breakfast tables at the Stover Country Market on Highway 52, west of Stover. Before opening her store last August, Stover resident Connie Iman could not have predicted the effect an English custom would have on her family, her customers, and her life. Using natural ingredients from farm to table, Imanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mingling of the English scone with homemade sausage, eggs, potatoes and homemade gravy blends a

variety of flavors into a tasty breakfast served with gourmet coffee. For those who are not acquainted with the traditional English scone, scones are biscuit-like quick breads that are rolled into round shapes, cut into quarters, and baked on a griddle. As for the origin of the term â&#x20AC;&#x153;sconeâ&#x20AC;? it is said to have come from the Dutch word â&#x20AC;&#x153;schoonbrot,â&#x20AC;? which means â&#x20AC;&#x153;beautiful bread.â&#x20AC;? Imanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recipe for her own â&#x20AC;&#x153;beautiful bread,â&#x20AC;? can be made into sweet scones along with sa-

vory ones made with bacon or sausage fresh from the farm. She is not kidding when she speaks of her meat products coming â&#x20AC;&#x153;fresh from the farm,â&#x20AC;? because she and her children, Marinda, 20; Morgan, 18; Matthew, 12, plus Imanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fiancĂŠ, Chris Matthews, and his daughter, Adelita Rose, are actively involved in raising all natural, pasture-raised, non-GMO (genetically modified organism) Berkshire pigs and Nubian dairy goats, the latter of which were bred and developed in Great Britain. The protein products from the pigs, processed at a USDA facility in Hermann, are used in the breakfasts made by Iman. The role of the goats is to provide milk for making soap and other cleansing products which are sold at the marketâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gift shop. Iman says lard from the pigs is used in the soap making process, and she appreciates the thoughtfulness at the USDA facility. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The people in Hermann who process our hogs for us save the lard and return it to us so that we can use it in making our special brand of soap from goatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s milk,â&#x20AC;? she said. In addition to the goatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s milk, Iman said the natural products she and Matthews sell presently consist of her scones and the ingredients she uses to make breakfast bowls for her customers, plus a special brand of gourmet coffee. Although Iman is credited for the baking of scones at the market, she says Matthews is a major contributor and should be given credit for his addition of gluten-free scones. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chris majored in agriculture and has lived in several western states where he tried many different types of food,â&#x20AC;? Iman said. According to Iman, Mathewsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; love of food is one reason why he decided to change his con-

ventional diet to one that focused more on natural and gluten-free products. Matthews said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was having some stomach trouble and decided to try a more natural, fresh, and gluten-free diet. After a while of being free of gluten and genetically modified foods, I lost 20 pounds, and my stomach and inflammation problems began to subside.â&#x20AC;? Matthews, Iman, and their combined children work together so that each contributes his or her own unique talent in regard to caring for the pigs and goats. All are willing to pitch in whenever they are needed. According to Iman, the animals are raised at home on the farm, and some are even shown at 4-H and county and state competition events by the children. Matthews says it is important to him that the animals are raised and slaughtered humanely before being processed and sold at the market. One may ask, If the main products sold at the Stover Country Market are scones, breakfast bowls and coffee, why isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t it called a â&#x20AC;&#x153;CafĂŠâ&#x20AC;? or a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Breakfast Bistro?â&#x20AC;? The answer to that question, according to Iman, is that the small area of the rather large building that housed her â&#x20AC;&#x153;CafĂŠ,â&#x20AC;? which opened in August, has now expanded from a tiny portion of the building to an additional room which now displays artwork and home-crafted products created by Stover and surrounding-area residents. Iman and Matthews said, with the arrival of spring and the return of visitors to the lake area, another expansion process will begin that will better reflect the name of the establishment. Coming soon will be coolers containing a variety of meats, produce and other consumable products grown and/or made in the area.

Iman says she is very happy with the direction in which the Stover Country Market is headed. Each morning from 6 to 11 a.m., Monday through Saturday, Iman channels the memory of her English grandmother, Louise Bohlken, into the marketâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kitchen by wearing Bohlkenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s apron as she bakes and cooks. She is grateful for her life today, and says she is amazed at the changes that have taken place over the past four years since the night her life took a sudden turn. She says: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Four years ago my husband, Kevin, and I were a two-parent, working family. Our children were active in school and 4-H agricultural events where they showed their pigs and won awards in their designated categories. We were centered on work, home and family. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Life was normal for us until one night at the Tuff Truck Competition during the Morgan County Fair. Kevin had driven in the competition, I was near the pits, and someone hollered at me from the pit area to come quick. I thought he had been hurt in some sort of accident having to do with the derby, never dreaming that he could be taken so suddenly by a heart attack.â&#x20AC;? Looking back, Iman says there were warning signs, but they went unheeded, such as Kevin thinking the pain in his arm was caused by the repetition of lifting heavy items on his job. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It made sense at the time that he was right; but, I would definitely know to question that diagnosis now,â&#x20AC;? she said. Iman is proof that oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life can definitely change overnight. After her loss of Kevin, she continued working at her job as quality central clerk for the Missouri Highway Patrol in Jefferson City, continued living in Stover, and continued parenting her children who carried on with

their scholastic and agricultural activities. Then, about three years ago, she crossed paths with, and started seeing Matthews, who had moved to rural Stover following his recent divorce. According to Iman, Matthews grew up in Raytown, but lived much of his life out west in states like Wyoming where he worked on big ranches. Iman came to the local area after graduating from Smithton, and has lived in Stover for the past 18 years. Having met and discussed their likes and differences, they discovered they had much in common and would make a good team. The rest of Imanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Matthewsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; story can be witnessed at the Stover Country Market, where from Monday to Saturday they can be seen tending to customers, serving up the English version of biscuits as well as the eggs, potatoes and sausage bowls, and visiting with others who drop in for a cup of coffee and a scone. Visitors might see a small group of book club members discussing a literary analysis over a red-checkered table cloth. One may witness coffee drinkers stirring sweet cream and honey into their mugs, and gift shop browsers might see a variety of â&#x20AC;&#x153;scones-to-goâ&#x20AC;? being handed over the glass display counter to customers stopping in on their way to work or an early-morning meeting. Iman says she is happy about the new venture and is looking forward to the future. With the arrival of the European scone to Stover, she and Matthews have managed to mix a little of the old world with the new. They have also, within the process of their endeavor, managed to unearth old-world tastes and traditions, fostering fellowship and well being to all who visit the Stover Country Market.
