When Mike Kilkenny pulled up the flooring to replace sagging joists under the Versailles Area Chamber of Commerce building on Monroe Street in Versailles, he uncovered a 34-feet-deep, rock-lined cistern, still containing 13 feet of water. Chamber board members had noticed moisture issues in their meeting room, along with weakened flooring in certain spots, but certainly did not expect to find an open cistern. Chamber president Deanna Lucas said Josh Schrock, with AB Sewerman, placed an underwater camera into the cistern Tuesday, Jan. 3 (after this issue went to press) to determine what objects, if any, are at the bottom.

The hole was sealed with a thick steel plate Wednesday, Jan. 4. To fill the hole would have taken approximately 22 cubic yards of material (about two dump truck loads). Because of the location, this would have to be done with wheelbarrows and hand tools and was determined to be unfeasible. As to the history of the cistern and what was located where the current chamber building is, Lucas said, “We really don’t know.” However, some have speculated it was a water source for stables, across the street from the Martin Hotel. If anyone has information about the site, please contact the newspaper at 573-378-5441.

food for others, they must bring a signed note from the head of household. The food is being distributed in cooperation with the Food Bank of Central and Northeast Missouri. Those needing food are asked to bring their own containers. Containers to take food home in are in short supply. Everyone in need will receive food even if they don’t qualify for USDA commodities.

The 2017 budget allows for one new police vehicle and the hiring of a police officer. “We also made a major commitment to our city fire department ... to allow them to maintain equipment ... and provide fire protection and first response to our citizens,” Silvey said. “We recently added a paid, full-time

Mayor issues budget message, grant awarded

Mayor Terry Silvey issued his annual budget message last week, emphasizing a net surplus of $121,969.70. “I believe it bodes well that the city strives to work with a budget that continues to offer our citizens the services they deserve while also working within the revenues we project,” Silvey said. Silvey projects revenue growth to be between 2 and 3 percent over 2016, which he said indi-

firefighter to be on call.” Silvey pointed out the city was able to keep water and sewer rates the same. “We are halfway through this huge four-part wastewater improvement project,” he said. “We finished up the wastewater plant improvements and brought the plant up to the requirements imposed on us by Missouri Department of Natural Resources. We will be starting Phase 3 (of four) in 2017, upgrading sewer lines and connections for our residential and business customers.” Silvey praised the city council, city workers, and department heads for their commitment to the citizens of Versailles and said, “I look forward to a good 2017 for the city.” Sidewalk grant awarded The City of Versailles received a $86,562 grant from MoDOT for use in a sidewalk project on the east side of the town square. The sidewalk running in front of the Hawthorn Dance and Gymnastics building is elevated, sup-

Garage, house catch fire New Year’s Eve

by Janet Dabbs Sunrise Beach Fire Protection District personnel responded 5:47 p.m. New Year’s Eve, Saturday, Dec. 31 to a residential structure fire on Deep Water Drive in Sunrise Beach. According to Sunrise Beach Fire Protection District Fire Chief Dennis Reilly, firefighters arrived on the scene within eight minutes to find a two-story garage on fire. As the first arriving units began to deploy hose lines, the fire spread to an adjoining house. The residents were on the property at the time of the fire. Sunrise Beach FPD units and mutual aid partners Mid County, Gravois, and Northwest fire protection districts were able to extinguish the original fire and limit the fire spread in the second property. “This could have been a very serious fire and both properties could have been lost,” Reilly said. “The aggressive actions of the first arriving company, along with the support we received

from our mutual aid partners provided as good an outcome as could be expected with such a large volume of fire.” Sunrise Beach FPD officials believe the fire started on the outside of the garage in a trash pile and spread from there to both structures. No injuries were reported. According to Reilly, there was extensive damage to the garage and minimal damage to the house. He believes the homeowners should be able to get back into the home shortly. Firefighters remained on the scene for three hours. “With our community’s support we have been able to increase the on-duty staffing of the fire district, Reilly said. “At this incident, we put five firefighters at the scene, with almost 4,000 gallons of water, in a very short time. There is no doubt that this increased staffing, along with the aggressive actions taken by our members, allowed us to contain the fire to the extent that we did.”

by Janet Dabbs The Laurie Care Center was placed under quarantine beginning Friday, Dec. 30 due to an outbreak of the Norovirus. Norovirus is a form of stomach flu, most commonly found in children. According to Laurie Care Center Director Mike Cox, approximately 20 residents and a few staff members have come down with the symptoms, which include vomiting and diarrhea. The biggest concern with the Norovirus is dehydration. “We don’t want anyone else to

be infected and we don’t want to bring anything into the center, so we are asking visitors not to come,” Cox said. “We are hoping things will clear up in a day or two.” Cox says it seems to be a short lived “24-hour bug.” “Anytime someone is sick, it is a good time not to visit a nursing home because elderly persons are more susceptible to getting sick,” Cox said. According to Cox, the housekeeping staff are being extra diligent with cleaning hand rails and door handles. Residents who

are showing symptoms are being quarantined in their rooms and activities were cancelled for a few days to prevent the spread of germs. “In this season we tend to have more residents who get sick,” Cox said. “When the numbers get higher, we get concerned and want to be sure it does not spread further.” Cox said it is not a dangerous sickness and no one has been hospitalized. “We are hoping everyone gets better quickly.”

A representative from the nursing home district said they are asking people to refrain from visiting residents until after Thursday, Jan. 5.

Laurie tax revenue up; city employees getting raise

25 New Units NOW AVAILABLE

Water and sewer Budgeted water and sewer revenues for 2017 are $711,130, and expenses are $737,504. Kimberling said the sewer account earned a little in 2016, but there will be massive withdrawals in 2017 due to the need to purchase grinder pumps. “The lift stations have a life expectancy of 14 years,” he explained, “and the pumps have a 10-year life expectancy, and they are 10 years old.” Kimberling praised public works employee Steve Holloway, saying, “Steve has saved the city a lot of money by finding less expensive pumps.” Streets The 2015 street sales tax brought in $187,667, and the 2016 revenue was $189,881. Budgeted street expenses for 2017 total $269,500. This includes paving, buying a plow truck, and engineering expenses. Budgeted motor vehicle expenses are $32,767.50. Of the city’s eight miles of streets, the board approved laying a two-inch asphalt cap on two miles of city roads annually. The city is in negotiations with the Gravois Special Road District 8 for road upgrades and maintenance. Events and parks Budgeted parks and events revenue for 2017 is $123,975 and

expenses are $106,567, leaving an expected balance of $17,408. According to Kimberling, this year’s Enchanted Village of Lights appears to have been successful, but no totals were available. It was noted the fair committee is already planning September’s Laurie Hillbilly Fair. Sidewalk update A portion of the sidewalk was poured last week on the east side of Highway 5. The final portion remaining to be poured is in front of the cigarette store, where the walkway turns toward Route O. Originally slated to be completed Thursday, Dec. 15, the project was already delayed until Saturday, Dec. 31. Kimberling said the deadline has been moved a third time to allow the Missouri Department of Transportation to conduct surveys. “We plan to add another phase next year. The state will pay for 80 percent, but not until 2018,” Kimberling said. “We have budgeted based on the trends we are seeing in our sales tax revenue,” City Clerk Ron Clarke said. “We are optimistic that these trends will continue for the foreseeable future. “In addition, we are dipping into our sales tax reserves that have been set aside to complete street repairs, while still main-

taining a healthy reserve in that fund.” Clarke also reported plans to replace water and sewer pumps and meters. “We have been extremely frugal for the past few years,” he said, “and we felt it was now safe to begin a much-needed program to improve the infrastructure of the City of Laurie.” New businesses Several new businesses moved into Laurie in 2016, including Ozark Bait & Tackle, Lake Family Pharmacy, Live Love Lake, R & D Crafts, and a taxidermist. In spring 2017, the Taboo Ice Cream Shop is expected to open in the A-frame building next to the Cenex station on Highway 5. “They serve hard ice cream,” Kimberling explained, “and they have a lot of different flavors.” The shop will also sell soda and sandwiches. Enhancements It was reported the Laurie enhancement committee raised $22,292 for a lighted welcome sign in 2016. It plans to add landscaping around the sign with leftover funds. The committee’s monthly Laurie Beautification Awards also encouraged property owners to spruce up the town. The board of aldermen is next scheduled to meet 6 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 10 at Laurie City Hall.

January 4, 1917 We would like to say to all those who may want a car this year, now is the time to get it. The Ford factory can’t make them as fast as wanted. With the new, larger radiator enclosed fan, and other improvements, the Ford people are now building the best car they have ever put up. While other cars are going higher, the Ford is $80 lower this year than last. January 7, 1937 In a few short years, we students of the high school will be taking our places in the world. Our period of preparation will soon end. It is true some people have tried to discourage us. Indeed, the present situation may not be bright, as we are in a period of financial peril, and war once more rears its ugly head.

Three Rs: Readin’, ‘Ritin’, and Rankings? We are all aware of those all-important and time-tested “Three Rs” of education: ‘Readin’, ‘Ritin’, and ‘Rithmatic. There’s no denying providing a sound academic foundation for our young people should be the primary purpose of attending any public or private school. It is vital to obtain basic knowledge about civics and government, geography, literature, science, mathematics, history, language and grammar, writing and composition, along with certain practical life skills acquired by hands-on learning in the classroom. Every graduate worthy of their diploma should strive to be proficient in these things. Observing the recent debate about whether the Morgan County R-II School District should leave the Tri-County Conference to join the newly formed Ozark Highlands Conference, one would be left believing, however, that the third “R” was “Rankings.” I won’t burden the reader with a recap of the details (those were in last week’s Leader-Statesman). Suffice it to say, there are those in both camps. Some say joining the new conference is akin to a fresh lease on life. Some say leaving Tri-County is

disloyal and unnecessary. Whether one’s opinion is “stay” or “go,” the arguments I have heard in support of either, tend to focus on how well (or not) our sports teams are competing or will compete. Post-season honors, the health of student athletes, playing schools similar in size and demographics, travel distance and time, unknowns with a new conference, potential loss of community support, conference rankings, etc., are all subjects that have been broached. I will be the first to admit, there are many things an athlete can learn from participating in sports: teamwork, commitment, sacrifice, hard work, sportsmanship, how to win and lose with grace, and more. These are all useful things. Good students also can be good athletes and viceversa. Some exceptional athletes have earned scholarships to play their chosen sport at a particular university. In my opinion, sports scholarships should be a means to an end — the end being an academic degree. The decision to stay or go, to be made by the school board at their Jan. 17 meeting, was recently characterized as “monu-

changed, and leaders and leaders’ ideas have changed. There is a sort of gloom that overhangs our tomorrow. January 4, 1957 Mr. and Mrs. P. P. Hilty, longtime residents of this county, celebrated the 50th anniversary of their marriage with an open house at Bethel Mennonite church Thursday afternoon, Dec. 27. Employees of the M.F.A. and their families enjoyed a turkey dinner in the city hall Friday night, Dec. 21. There were 32 present, and each enjoyed his choice of entertainment. Checkers, pitch, rook, marble games and group singing went on throughout the evening. January 6, 1977 The Morgan County area received a blanket of snow and freezing rain Monday night and Tuesday, which cancelled many area events and postponed the

mental.” The debate was described as one of the most important decisions board members would have to make. As a matter of fact, in order for the board to gather all necessary information and opinions from both sides, a public “town hall” meeting has been scheduled 7 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 11 at the high school commons in Versailles. I believe in democracy, but I doubt anything really earthshatteringly new will come of this town hall. From surveys and informal polls, school administrators have already realized the public is generally split about the move. For what it’s worth, outside looking in, I believe that an unwarranted amount of time, worry, discussion, hang-wringing, emotion, and “what-if-ing” has gone into trying to make this decision. Ultimately, school should be about obtaining an education, not winning tournaments. I really, honestly don’t care one iota whether R-II stays or goes, just as long as the focus remains on the original scholastic “Three Rs.”

Sound the shofar! The shofar is a musical instrument traditionally made from a ram’s horn and is used by Jews to signal the start of several of their holy days. One or their holy days is Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year. The Jewish calendar is based on a lunar cycle and their New Year begins in the month of Tishri (varying between September and October in the Gregorian calendar). Tishri is actually the seventh month for the Jews, but it is the month in which the year number changes. October 3, 2016, was the start of Tishri 1, 5777, in the Jewish calendar. Nissan is the first month as prescribed by Exodus 12:1–2 to celebrate the Passover. It may sound odd that the number of the year changes in the seventh month, but we can

He said he likes the small town atmosphere because he is originally from Hallsville, which is also a small town. One of his favorite things is working the window at the post office and being able to meet people, he said. “I like the small town because everybody knows everybody, many times by their first names,” Calvert said. “It seems they’re willing to help each other.”

compare it to the difference between the calendar year and the school year. Rosh Hashanah celebrates God’s creation of Adam and Eve. The celebration begins with the sounding of the shofar. There are three distinct patterns used when sounding the shofar. The first is called “tekiah,” which is a single blast. The second pattern is called “shevarim,” which is three short blasts. The third pattern is called “teruah,” which is nine staccato blasts. The final blast in the sounding of the shofar is called “tekiah gedolah,” which is the “tekiah” blast held for as long as the musician is able. Although there are different interpretations as to the significance of these blasts, they generally fall into similar categories.

Word on the Street

The “tekiah” blast is used to praise the King (ultimately recognizing the Kingship of God). The “shevarim” represents repentance for wrongs committed by the subjects of the King; the “teruah” calls for an awakening or renewal of the soul in obedience to the King. The final “tekiah gedolah” represents giving oneself in wholehearted allegiance to the King. The celebration of the beginning of a new year is largely a secular event in the United States. As a Christian, learning about the Jewish celebration of Rosh Hashanah is a good reminder that every celebration is made richer and more wonderful when seen in relation to God. May God bless you. Happy New Year!

What do you think of Israel’s Prime Minister Netanyahu saying, “Palestinian demands that all Jews leave Judea and Samaria to have peace is ethnic cleansing, absurd and intolerant bigotry.”

Library Bookworm

by Stacey Embry, Director, Morgan County Library This morning, after my group run, some of us were discussing how slow traffic (at our places of business) had been for the last couple of weeks. Upon reflection, it seems that every year, after the holidays, we see a slowing of movement. When I first started working at the library, we would sometimes have a wait list for the public computers. I cannot remember the last time this happened. I have a feeling people are getting new tablets and smart phones for Christmas. Thus, a visit to the library is not as needed. When I mentioned this, one runner said he had checked two books out from the library, both through OverDrive. So a checkout is recorded, but no foot traffic is noted. Another runner is a former trucker and found the idea of OverDrive and e-checkouts fascinating. He commented it might change our foot traffic but it is a sign of us surviving and adapting to change. Obviously, I am a fan of OverDrive and eBooks. I promote Tumblebooks for the children of our community. As one young patron stated, “It is better than looking at YouTube videos.”

Reading is reading. Well, most of the time that is true. When a child is young, I mean young as in utero young, reading is different. Babies in the third trimester can already hear very well and studies show they can recognize their mother’s voice. Parents are encouraged to start story time before birth so they can create a ritual that will be easier to maintain once the child is born. The beautiful part of this ritual is not centered only on language development, it is about social interaction. Reading to your child develops family bonding, empathy and social skills. Propping a tablet up with a Tumblebook story on it is not too different than watching YouTube videos. From in utero to age three, there is an incredible amount of development. If you don’t believe me, ask our local Parents as Teachers. Reading to our children and spending that intimate time with them is vital for their development. Guess what? They love it. Children love books and being read to, so we need to do it! I mentioned last week that we are starting a new program: 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten. Who can participate in this program? Any child from birth until he/she enters kindergar-

ten. How long will the program take? The program will take anywhere from a few months to a few years. The program is selfpaced and will depend on how often you read together. How to participate? Wednesday, Feb. 1, come to the library to enroll. You will pick up our “kit” to get you started. We have journals for each 100 books read. Complete each journal until you reach 1,000 books. In February of each year, we will recognize every child who completes the program at a special ceremony. At our January evening story time, we will be sharing the basic information for the program and will encourage kids to start signing up. So, as much as I love technology, sometimes the old ways are the best. I am excited about this new program that encourages an old idea: story time with your child. Reading is reading. Reading to a child is life changing. 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., Monday through Friday, and 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., Saturday.

Llewellin Setters are a purebred strain of the English Setter breed, and it’s our job to help our owners hunt. Setters are bird dogs. We chase quail out of the bushes and then retrieve them. We’re very useful! I’ve been a bird dog all of my life.

Sam used to tell me lots of stories about my father on our long walks together during hunting season. I’m not a spry young pup anymore, and my hunting days are well behind me, but I tell you, I remember those stories as if I’d heard them just yesterday.
