High school play at Royal Nov. 17-18 Versailles High School students will be presenting the play, “Annie Play Will Do” 7 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 17 and Friday, Nov. 18 at the Royal Theatre in Versailles. Tickets are $5 for adults and $3 for children and students age 3 to 18. The play was written by Scott Haan and the basic synopsis is: “Because of a miscommunication with the principal, high school drama teacher Mr. Morris (played by Jack Troyer) finds himself with only ONE DAY to cast, stage and perform the school play. “In desperation, he turns to two of his best students, Paul and Laura (played by Tim

Roehrig and Sydney Troyer), to take charge and co-direct the show, unaware that the two are in the middle of a nasty breakup and are no longer speaking. “Things go from bad to much, much worse when Paul and Laura, practicing with their friends independently, don’t realize they are rehearsing for different shows, “Little Orphan Annie” and “Annie Get Your Gun.” The problem isn’t discovered until the curtain opens. It’s a theatre nightmare brought hilariously to life.” The play is being directed by Michelle Gerlt, performing arts teacher at Versailles High School.

Mid-Mo returns to its previous property, casualty, and liability insurance provider by Becky Holloway The Mid-Mo Ambulance District Board of Directors voted Wednesday, Nov. 9 to move the district’s property, casualty and liability insurance back to Continental Western. The district had several claims four years ago and keeping the premium with Continental Western was cost prohibitive. So, the district was insured with the Missouri Public Entity Risk Management pool (MoPERM). Now that the district’s loss ratio has improved, agent Mike Keith of Mike Keith Insurance of Clinton, said he was able to get a quote from Continental and presented that along with renewal rates through MoPERM. He highlighted the coverages provided through Continental Western, and made comparisons where applicable to the MoPERM plan. In addition to including coverage for acts of terrorism, the Continental policy provides liability limits of $5 million, compared to the $2 million provided by MoPERM, actual guaranteed replacement cost coverage, not depreciated replacement cost on property and vehicles, and glass and tow

coverage on vehicles, which MoPERM does not offer. Keith said he writes a Continental policy for more than 100 ambulance services across the state. The MoPERM renewal rate for 2017 was $32,033, with a rider terrorism policy for an additional $500 a year. The Continental rate for what the board agreed is better coverage was $33,388. The board also renewed the insurance policy against cyber attacks, protecting the district from crimes committed as a result of someone hacking into its computer system to obtain information, through Keith in the amount of $3,925. Administrator Lee Kempf updated the board about progress at the new base under construction in California. A photograph of the installation of brick around the electrical meter base and service pipe already attached to the building was shown. The electric service should have been offset so brick could be laid behind it, then attached to the building. Kempf will discuss that problem with the contractor. Instead of a gravel parking

lot, the board voted to spend an additional $6,500 to extend the heating system beneath the concrete and tie it into the apron in front of the garage to provide four parking spaces. The floor in the building has been installed and will cure for about a week, the trim has been installed and the doors hung. The gas and sewer lines still need to be ran to the property. The Barnett base has been closed for the winter and the building winterized. Run statistics for October were presented, showing Tipton had 61 calls with 43 transports, California 71 calls with 46 transports, Versailles 164 calls with 103 transports, and Barnett 17 calls with 10 transports. Districtwide, there were 313 calls with 202 transports for a transport rate on patient contact calls of 74 percent. The board had a closed session to discuss a personnel matter, with no action taken. The board’s next regular meeting is scheduled Wednesday, Dec. 14, and the district’s Christmas party was set for Friday evening, Dec. 16.

Woman rescues dogs from house fire

by Janet Dabbs Gravois Fire Protection District, GFPD, personnel received an emergency call at noon Sunday, Nov. 13 to a house fire off South Buck Creek Road in Gravois Mills. At the time the fire call was toned out, all GFPD on-duty firefighters were already responding to a serious trauma medical call. Volunteer GFPD firefighters responded to the house fire and mutual aid was requested from the Versailles Rural FPD and the Sunrise Beach FPD. According to GFPD Deputy Chief Ron Anselmo, upon arrival firefighters found a house fully involved in fire. A garage and shed had already burned, and a natural cover fire was rapidly spreading due to windy and dry conditions. “Crew first determined the most important areas to defend and attack,” Anselmo said. Firefighters split into different crews, one fighting the house fire, one working to protect exposure to a

and 15 acres were lost in the fire. A total of nine fire apparatus and 17 firefighters responded. “The crews did a good job,” Anselmo reported. Overhaul was completed by 5 p.m. Sherrell lived in the house for 25 years. “We lost heirlooms, things I had saved from my great grandparents, china, curtains, even one of my grandmothers dolls,” she said. “I am just thankful that no one was hurt.” The two dogs survived without injury. People interested in helping the couple may drop off monetary and clothing donations at the Gravois Mills United Methodist Church from noon to 5 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 19 and 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 20. Sherrell wears a size 3 in pants, a medium shirt and a size 4 shoe. Durham wears size 32x32 pants, medium shirt, and 9.5 in shoes. For additional information, call Pastor Lynn Facemyer at 573544-4033.

should be nine boring tests conducted by an engineer to determine the quality of the road. Dean Smith dug into the road, but he is not an engineer. Also, if there was a neighborhood association, the president of the association would have authority to request the city take over the roads. There is not an association, therefore it should have been put to a vote of all the people in the subdivision, and we should have their written consent. There are a number of things in our ordinance that are not being followed correctly,” Keck explained. Fraternization After it came to the attention of the board that certain language in the city code pertaining to the fraternization of Laurie supervisors with Laurie employees was unclear, the board went into closed session during a special meeting Tuesday, Oct. 18 to discuss the issue. After discussion and conferring with city attorney Steve Grantham, an ordinance amending the language was drafted. The board unanimously approved the ordinance at their Tuesday, Nov. 8 meeting. The amended section now reads, “All employees, both supervisory and non-supervisory, will be prohibited from fraternizing or becoming romantically involved with other employees when their personal relationship creates a conflict of interest, causes disruption, creates a negative or unprofessional work environment, creates a hostile work environment, or presents concerns regarding supervision, safety, security or morale.” The ordinance was in full force upon its passage. Holiday pay approved In other board business regarding personnel, the board approved an ordinance amending a section of the Laurie City Code pertaining to personnel regulations to include the option for

eight hours holiday pay for fulltime employees required to work on a holiday. Property rezoned The board also approved a recommendation by the Laurie Planning and Zoning Commission to rezone 2.3 acres of property owned by Scott and Carri Hendrix from Residential-3 to Commercial-2. The property is part of an 80-acre tract located east of Highway 5 and adjacent to Ozark Meadows. Part of the property to be rezoned will be used for the covered storage of farming and construction equipment. Police officer injured Laurie Chief of Police Mark Black reported Laurie Police Officer Craig struck a deer while driving a city police vehicle. Craig was taken to the hospital but was released. Aldermen Jeff Chorpening noted he was informed that officer Craig was reportedly driving 80 miles per hour when he struck the deer. Black confirmed that was true and he also said the officer was responding to an emergency call with lights and sirens engaged. Dangerous turn The board also discussed the need to install a turn lane in front of the Dollar General in Laurie, at the corner of Route RA and Highway 5, due to it posing a danger when pulling in and out of the store. The Missouri Department of Transportation will be contacted to discuss the issue. Christmas light display Laurie Parks and Events Director Susann Huff reported the Enchanted Village of Lights displays are “99-percent ready.” The display will be open Friday, Nov. 18 to Sunday, Jan. 1. Sponsorships are available by calling Huff at 573-374-8776. The next meeting of the Laurie Board of Aldermen is scheduled 6 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 13 at the Laurie City Hall in Laurie.

Laurie finally accepts Wellington Woods roads

The trailer dug in to the road surface, flipped up, and deposited its load on the roadway. Most of the cargo was salvaged as a crew from MoDOT, who happened to be in the area, responded with equipment. Versailles Police Department and Versailles City Fire Department were on scene. The incident happened at approximately 3 p.m., just shortly before pick-up time at the school. (photo by Bryan E. Jones)

It was hard with the wind and multiple fires burning,” Anselmo said. According to the owner of the home, Kim Sherrell, she and her boyfriend Jason Durham, were burning boxes before dinner when the fire got out of control and jumped onto the outside wall of the house. They called 911. Sherrell ran back into the house to save her two dogs Criminal and Izzy. “I ran back in several times to try to save some stuff, but the fire got real hot, real quick,” she said. After an oxygen tank exploded in the flames, she became too frightened to go back in to the burning house. She did manage to save about 10 items. “The house burned-down in only 30 minutes,” she said.

Sunrise FPD graduation adds four firefighters by Janet Dabbs Four firefighters joined the ranks of the Sunrise Beach Fire Protection District Friday, Nov. 4. The new firefighters underwent six weeks of training and will now be assigned to the district’s full-time staff. “The addition of these four firefighters will increase the size

of our staff to 17 full-time firefighters assigned to our Operations Division,” Fire Chief Dennis Reilly said. According to district officials, the additional staff will allow the Spruce Lane fire station to remain open more, as current staffing permits. “In the past, the Spruce Lane

station would have to close when we had anyone off-duty. With the additional personnel, this should become much less frequent,” Reilly said. According to Reilly, without staffing at Station No. 3, it can take as long as 13 minutes to arrive at an emergency in that

community. This makes staffing Station No. 3 vital to those who live along the MM Corridor. The firefighters assigned to Station No. 3 will also available for major emergencies that occur anywhere in the district, or when the district receives two calls simultaneously.

Katy Trail is presented Clinical Quality Award During the Missouri Primary Care Associations’s annual Clinical and Quality Conference, in September in Branson, Katy Trail Community Health was recognized with a Clinical Quality Award. Katy Trail was honored for providing “outstanding, high quality health care” by MPCA’s Center for Health Care

Quality. Members of Katy Trail Community Health stood up to celebrate the success of their hard work together. Winners of these awards had to reach or exceed a standardized national goal percentage set by the MPCA Medical Director network. Clinical measures for the

2016 awards encompassed diabetes control, hypertension control, cervical cancer screening, colorectal screening, weight assessment and counseling for children and adolescents, childhood immunizations, tobacco use assessment and cessation, clinical depression screening, and adult BMI assessment and

follow-up. Katy Trail Community Health was awarded for achieving a silver standard. The achievement represented by this award confirms that Katy Trail Community Health cares that patients receive the “highest quality of care when they step through the doors of their facility.”

Happy Thanksgiving leader-statesman.com

Thank You

The family of Troy Nichols would like to express our deepest thanks to all those in the community and beyond who showed their support to us during Troy’s battle with cancer and in the days after God called him home. We were comforted by all the prayers and cards as well as the financial support given to us through the benefit event held in his honor. Countless people worked tirelessly to plan, prepare, and carry out the benefit. It was amazing how our little town came out to support us. We will never be able to say thank you enough. You have shown us the love of Christ in our time of need. God bless you all.

Two church congregations merge in Sunrise Beach

by Janet Dabbs There is a new church in Sunrise Beach. Crossroads Assembly of God Church was recently created through the union of two separate church congregations. In August, the South Chapel Assembly of God of Laurie merged with Crossroads Church of Sunrise Beach. The South Chapel is a church â&#x20AC;&#x153;plantâ&#x20AC;? of its main church, the Versailles First Assembly of God. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To be given an entire church and property is a miracle,â&#x20AC;? Versailles First Assembly of God Itinerate Pastor David Satterfield said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That just does not happen very often.â&#x20AC;? Technically, the Assembly of God, Southern Missouri District, and the Versailles First Assembly of God, received the donation of the property for South Chapel to use. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We expect it will be deeded to them at a later date,â&#x20AC;? Satterfield stated. Pastor Dick Sanders is the founder of Crossroads Church. Before he was a pastor, he was a real-estate builder. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I heard the Lord tell me to build a church,â&#x20AC;? Sanders said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I said OK. I will go to Montana and build one. I like it there,â&#x20AC;? he said smiling. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But that silent voice told me he wanted me to build one in Sunrise Beach. Our family owned property on Lake Road 5-35, so we donated the four-acre property and built a 7,000-square-foot church.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;As I got older it was getting more difficult to be the lead pastor,â&#x20AC;? 87 year-old Sanders said. He led the church for a while, and then handed over the pastorate. The last pastor to serve at Crossroads was Pastor Tony Corado. Sanders moved on to serve at Big Rock Church in Versailles. Since then, Corado has resigned. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I felt the Lord wanted me to ask Pastor Hauk if they would like to take over the church,â&#x20AC;? Sanders said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the agreement, I insisted they certify that the property will always be used as a Christian church, rec-

Dick Sanders and Kevin Hauk ognized by the National Council of Churches. They agreed.â&#x20AC;? Pastor Kevin Hauk began pastoring South Chapel in Laurie in 2012, first holding services in the Laurie Kidwell Garber Funeral Home and later at the Laurie Mall. Hauk was in agreement with merging congregations and he is now the pastor of the Crossroads Assembly of God. Sanders plans to work alongside him, for a time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I told him (Hauk) when I was ordained I agreed to never go back to a church I had previously pastored, unless I was invited. Pasotr Hauk said he felt like he and the congregation could learn from me, so I am staying. I think we will grow and I want to see the church succeed.â&#x20AC;? All the pastors, including Corado, attended a celebration service for the new church Sunday, Sept. 25. Corado is currently dedicating his time to ministry to prisoners, addicts, and motorcycle groups. Crossroads Assembly of God is already a busy church. Their schedule includes: â&#x20AC;˘ Movie nights 6 p.m. every third Sunday. â&#x20AC;˘ Free community dinners every second Saturday. â&#x20AC;˘ A menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s breakfast 8 a.m. the first Saturday of each month â&#x20AC;˘ Choice Clothing Closet

for Children, a free childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clothing ministry. â&#x20AC;˘ Eggsplosion Easter Egg Hunt in the Laurie Park. â&#x20AC;˘ Hillbilly Fair booth outreach. â&#x20AC;˘ Trunk-or-Treat at the Laurie UMC. â&#x20AC;˘ Serving Thanksgiving dinner at the Westside Senior Citizen Center. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The vision of our church is to share the love of Christ by serving our community,â&#x20AC;? Hauk said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you come here, you will go away with a sore neck because of all the hugs you will receive. We love on people the old fashioned way. We enjoy serving God and we are a fun group of people.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Usually church mergers have kinks,â&#x20AC;? Sanders said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But God has really bonded and drawn us all together. It is pretty awesome.â&#x20AC;? Satterfield added, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The merger is good. We are all of like faith and the adding together has made us even stronger.â&#x20AC;? Crossroads Assembly of God holds Sunday school 9:30 a.m. Sundays and church at 10:30 a.m., with children and nursery services provided. They also offer a 6:30 p.m. service Wednesdays. For information visit crossroads-assembly.org or call Hauk at 573 434-2520.

Don Moore, center, of Versailles, won this Ruger 30-06 rifle in a drawing Monday, Nov. 14, organized by the Versailles Masonic Lodge 320. He was presented the rifle by Mason Ed Smith and Mason Landon â&#x20AC;&#x153;Capâ&#x20AC;? Chapman, who stood in for Lodge 320 Master Dave Perkins. Sales of tickets commenced in September and raised approximately $2,000. The money will benefit the Masonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s scholarship fund and provide for other lodge benevolent activities.

Dear Editor, I would like to give a big thank you and appreciation to the Morgan County Versailles school district. I attended the Veterans Day celebration with my grandchildren Friday Nov. 11. All the staff, as well as students, were so kind and respectful. I felt highly honored. I appreciate all the work and thoughtfulness that went into making this day so special. The food was delicious. Everything was perfect. I left feeling proud that my grandchildren attend such a thoughtful and respectful school district. Thank you, again, for honoring us veterans on such a special day. Sincerely, James W. White Jefferson City

Sometimes there are boogers One of my father’s endearing nicknames for me, during a certain—and, thank God, short— period growing up was “Booger Bill.” Yes, I’ll explain. I was seldom without a ball cap as a kid. One day, while laughing particularly hard, a booger flew out of my nose and, swinging upon a “rope” of snot, attached itself on the underside of the bill of my cap. There you have it. Boogers. We all have them. We just don’t generally discuss them publicly, unless we happen to be in seventh grade, nor do we write about them in newspaper columns. Boogers. Sometimes, I’ll catch someone driving by in another car picking their nose, “digging for gold.” Sometimes—good heavens—it’s even a woman. Anyway, boogers can be unpleasant and gross, but they are also an integral part of our body’s natural defense against harmful invasion of pathogens. Mucus (another fun word to say) contains an enzyme that breaks down many forms of bacteria. Those bacteria that are not killed immediately are trapped in the mucus and—here’s the gross part—swallowed and digested, where they have little chance of survival.

D ateline F T rom the files of

Boogers. A true friend will quietly alert you to a booger that has made itself visible, so you won’t enter into an important meeting or other engagement and embarrass yourself. I have a relatively small number of friends who actually exist in the realm of reality and fit this definition. They are not of the shallow-minded, thin-skinned variety known as “Facebook friends,” hiding behind the social-media veil shooting arrows of ignorance into the echo chamber. They are old-school adults. My friends are of the variety who remain friends even if we don’t always see eye-to-eye. These are the sort of friends who are still welcome to drink a beer with me, even if they voted for someone other than who I think they should have voted. These sort of friends allow me to hold, and voice, an opinion that may be controversial, without reserving judgement upon my character. I have an enlightening statement on my “humor wall” at work that reads, “You find it offensive? I find it funny. That’s why I am happier than you.” I believe one of the principle problems in our society today is people have become so easily

offended and “outraged” over many things. They have confused “tolerance” with “agreement.” The result of this confusion is that people who tout “tolerance” are, in action and word, the most intolerant of anyone who doesn’t agree with their world view. Tolerance, by definition, requires one to tolerate. If I already agree with someone, there is no need to exercise tolerance (or patience or civility or discretion). The First Amendment, with its guarantees of freedom of religion, speech, and the press, are not always pretty, but they serve to help “break down the dangerous pathogens” of myopic, selfserving rhetoric that tends to divide and undermine our culture. The itinerant Jewish preacher, Jesus, warned people in a parable to be sure to take the plank out of their own eye so they could see clearly to remove the speck from another’s eye. We could learn a lot, post election, from that warning. Yes, true friends are valuable. Those friends will tell me when they think I am being thoughtless or overbearing or when I’m simply acting like a booger.

November 16, 1916 All farm implements should now be under shelter and be put in first class condition for next season. The binder should be repaired now, and not when you are ready to begin work. Delay at harvest time may mean the loss of many dollars. The same principle holds true for all other farm machines. Too many farmers are careless with equipment which makes farming a paying business. November 12, 1936 Beulah Irene Moser, 10 year old daughter of the late Aubrey Moser, who has been a patient since August at the Weaver hopsital in Eldon, was brought to the home of Mrs. Grant Stringer in Versailles Tuesday afternoon of the past week. She is slowly improving but is still confined to her bed. November 16, 1956 Members of the Akinsville

Club held their regular meeting with Mrs. Frances Avey with 10 members and one visitor, Mrs. Roberts, present. The new letter was given by Mrs. Anderson, and the Scripture was read by Mrs. Claudie Bridges. The next meeting will be with Mrs. Anderson. Mr. and Mrs. Roy Morris spend several days this week with Mr. and Mrs. Merrill V. Nipps, in Springfield, and enjoyed a twoday drive through the southern Ozarks. November 11, 1976 Ross H. Huff’s barn was completely destroyed by fire Saturday night. About 3,000 bales of hay were also lost in the blaze. Arson was ruled the cause of the blaze. An Osage Beach fisherman, Jim Henderson, finished high among the “top 22” Bass Casters from around the country in the BCA Grand Nationals Bass Tournament at Greers Ferry

Lake in north central Arkansas. Henderson caught a string weighing in at 4 pounds, 15 ounces the first day and an even 3 pounds the second day for a 7 pound, 15 ounce total, good for ninth place. November 14, 1996 A Missouri School Improvement Program team that inspected the Morgan County R-II School District late last month appeared to be impressed with what they saw, Superintendent Gary Dixon said. “The team was extremely complimentary of our staff and students, and the friendly and professional treatment they received while they were here,” Dixon wrote in a memorandum to school staff. Among “potential strengths,” the team reported that the “District Assessment Plan was exemplary and could be used as a model for other districts.”

Dear Editor, On Friday, Nov. 11, I had the opportunity to be invited to the Veterans Day assembly at Versailes High School which included performances from middle and high school students. During the singing of the National Anthem by the combined middle and high school choir I took notice that the front row of the choir remained seated. During the first few notes, some of the students did stand; but then, noticing that the remaining students were seated, they began to sit. Then the choir director motioned for the remaining students who were standing in the front row to be seated. This was an appalling sight, as there were approximately 150 veterans who were present. After all, these are the same individuals who fought on foreign soil, lost time away from family, watched friends die, and moved several times just to ensure that our freedoms remained intact. These students may have only been middle school or high school age, but it was very disrespectful, especially after watching a World War II veteran on my left cry as he watched this travesty occur. I left the assembly after witnessing this and went into the cafeteria where I was approached by one lady who, after I explained why I had departed, apologized profusely with tears in her eyes. I was then approached by Dr. Joyce Ryerson. When I explained to her what the

problem was, she began to make excuses such as the flow of the music and that this was not an intentional act or protest. In my opinion, as a veteran and concerned parent, if you are making excuses as to why a group of children are sitting or are being told to sit while the National Anthem is being played or, in this case, being sung by the same group, then you have some explaining to do. If students are being instructed to remain seated, then are they being educated? Even if you say that they are being educated as to proper etiquette, it was not shown by the choir or the choir director. If our children are being educated, as was stated, then this would have not occurred and thus would not have embarrassed the school or themselves. In my opinion it is the same as slapping those veterans in the face, these same veterans who took time out of their day to come to your assembly. As a veteran and a parent, I was not pleased with the response from Dr. Ryerson and this should be rectified. Robert Hawn Desert Storm Combat Veteran Laurie

Dear Editor, I don’t quite have the words to describe what a great tribute Friday’s Veterans Day Assembly was. I had a morning meeting and arrived at the school just before 10 a.m. to see our local fire department, with truck in position, shining from bumper to bumper, proudly holding Old Glory, shimmering in the breeze and the sunlight. Although I was attending as an observer, I was personally greeted by half a dozen different students on the short walk from the front door to the entrance to the gym. They were all looking their best, in both attire and demeanor. They were all wanting to make sure I knew where to go, whether I was there to show honor, or be honored. There was a table out front, where students were diligently registering our veterans, already planning for next year, and not wanting anyone’s invitation to be missed. Cheerleaders were lined up, passing out flags, and saying their thanks to our heroes. The entire wall facing me, as I entered the gym, was covered

in artwork that paid tribute to our nation and those who have bravely fought for it. As I entered, the high school administration and teachers were setting out more chairs for our veterans, as we had a much larger number in attendance than had RSVP’d, and they wanted everyone being honored to feel welcome. There was a hand-painted banner, honoring each of the branches of military that seemed to be 10 feet tall and four feet wide. I can only imagine the number of hours that went into that work of art, again, to honor our veterans. The entire high school music department did an amazing job, from the choir to the bands. Students, staff, and guest speaker, David Bledsoe, shared what this day and our heroes mean to them. Everyone did a great job, but I was especially struck by the poise and ease which our students spoke. It was clear they had all worked diligently, so that the thoughts they shared would resonate, in honoring our nation’s veterans. All of this was accompanied by a continuous slide show, with pictures of our veterans from yesteryear on one screen, and information on the song, or performance currently underway, on the other. When the assembly was over, I had the opportunity to walk down to the middle school, and witness our middle school students, adorned in custom-made shirts, serving lunch to our veterans. They walked them to their tables, stood by to see if anyone required assistance, refilled drinks, carried plates of food, smiled, and showed appreciation. The tables were nicely decorated, and a student asked to pray over the meal and our veterans. I couldn’t think of a more perfect way to honor our veterans. I am sure they each felt the same. I would like to bestow my sincere thanks to each and every one of our administration, teachers, students, and community members who made this possible. I couldn’t be more proud of you, as a parent, as a community member, as a local business owner, or as a school board member. It was truly a great tribute from every perspective. Thank you. God bless our veterans. District parent Shawn Manuel

Library Bookworm

by Stacey Embry, Director, Morgan County Library I usually write Bookworm every Friday morning. I start thinking about it Thursday night and, by the time I finish my Friday morning run and shower, I know what I am going to write. This week was different. We were closed Friday. I forgot about turning Bookworm in early, and I didn’t run Friday morning. I started thinking about what to write Friday afternoon. Honestly, nothing was coming to mind. I love my country; but this week she has really tossed me around. I was so proud of the voter turnout Tuesday. Then, immediately Wednesday morning I was appalled at the hatred and fear I was seeing and hearing about. A few weeks ago I wrote about “choosing kind.” Apparently, not everyone read that Bookworm. “If you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all.” – Every mother and teacher, ever. Facebook is a monster, a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, if you please. I love using it to spread positive events at the library. I love using it to catch up with

friends who live far away. I love using it to see the fun daily adventures of my “friends.” The last few months, Facebook has shown its Mr. Hyde side. I have seen mostly hatred and intimidation. I believe in freedom of speech, I just guess I don’t think a person has to always exercise that right. We don’t have to react or comment to everything. When someone says something I don’t agree with, I don’t have to say anything. This week, I read Every Day by David Levithan. This is a young adult fiction book about someone who wakes up every day in a different body. As much as this is a special kind of torture, the person says he/she has learned so much, literally walking in someone else’s shoes every day. Why do I mention this? Again, we need to “choose kind.” People are struggling after Tuesday’s election. I choose not to judge their fear, because I have not walked in their shoes. I choose kind. “If you are losing your faith in human nature, go out and watch a marathon.” – Kathrine Switzer I like to make my stories positive in nature, so I will end this

Bookworm focusing on what I will be doing Sunday morning. I will be running in Overland Park with a group of running buddies. Two friends will be running their first marathon and one might be running their last. Running a marathon is awe inspiring; training for a marathon is super-human. Some runners will make it look easy, some will struggle. I will not judge the runners who struggle, it is their race. I will encourage them or I will say nothing at all. It is their race. I am so blessed that I have been allowed to live on this Earth long enough to grow up, long enough to reflect on someone besides myself, to see and to respect the struggles of others. “Part of growing up is making sure your sense of reality isn’t entirely grounded in your own mind.” -David Levithan, Every Day For more information, visit the Morgan County Library, 600 N.

35 acres of ‘What is it?’ -- Hancocks are growing Miscanthus

Joe and Marlene Hancock stand in front of their crop of Miscanthus, an energy and fiber-producing grass. by Sharon Tausch Most country homeowners would think being surrounded by multiple acres of tall grass could turn into a grass-cutting, brush-hogging nightmare. For retired Morgan County R-II teacher, Marlene Hancock, however, stepping out her front door and seeing multiple acres of tall, 10- to 14-foot grass swaying with the wind is a beautiful sight. The rural landscape surrounding the farm belonging to Hancock and her husband Joe has undergone a significant change during the past three years. The

field where their cattle once grazed (alongside Highway 5 between Versailles and Tipton) is now host to 35 acres of densely planted tall grass resembling thin, tassel-topped bamboo. Hancock says a few people driving by have actually stopped and asked what it is. It is Miscanthus, an energy and fiber-producing crop that is planted once every 20 years on a host farmer’s land. It is planted, swathed, baled, and hauled by Renew Biomass, an investorowned company based in Aurora, Mo. “All Joe and I have to do is

www.leader-statesman.com

furnish the land and pay for the fertilizing process,” she says. “They [Renew Biomass] do the rest. They plant it, fertilize it, harvest it, bale it and take it to the manufacturing plant for processing; then, send us a check.” Marlene says it takes a little while to start reaping the benefits, but she is happy with the project she and Joe started more than three years ago. “Our first crop was planted in 2012, was first harvested in 2015, and will be harvested each year for the next 20 years,” she said. “The Miscanthus has deep roots, and produces more abundantly each year. The income is expected to grow as the yield increases.” The Hancocks first learned about Miscanthus from the Missouri Farmers Association (MFA). Hancock says she became interested in Miscanthus because it was to be used as a natural energy source. “I’m all about natural energy, and was excited about being involved. Since then, however, studies were conducted, and the trend seems to be turning toward using it as a natural source of fiber in pet food. I’m OK with that too,” she said. According to an M-Fiber blog post by Cal Boender, who formed Renew Biomass in 2015, a study of Miscanthus as a natural source of fiber for pet food was conducted at Kansas State University, led by Research Associate Professor Dr. Greg Aldrich, Department of Grain Science and Industry. The study revealed the dietary dry matter and organic matter of Miscanthus was found to be similar to cellulose, and the two also appear to have a similar impact on protein utilization and fecal scores. Boender wrote, “After reviewing the results from

these studies, there is no doubt that Miscanthus grass (M-Fiber) offers a reliable, affordable and natural alternative to insoluble fibers.” Lynzee Glass, director of communications for Renew Biomass, says the pet food market has become the largest industry for M-Fiber. Glass says Renew Biomass is growing; however, the company will not be expanding acreage until 2018, depending on marketing demand. In the meantime, the team at

Renew Biomass is staying in contact with their host farmers who were all invited to the Oct. 22 producers meeting. The Hancocks drove to the Aurora production center, attended the meeting, and later toured the storage and manufacturing facilities. She brought home a complimentary pouch of M-Fiber powder so that she could show her family what the end product looks like. In regard to the end product, Hancock says her Miscanthus

crop will not be harvested until cold weather and the ground has frozen. “They [Biomass] want the soil to freeze before they start their harvest because they don’t want their equipment getting stuck in soggy ground.” Until then, or at least until cold weather dries the grassy blades to the color of maize, people driving by on Highway 5 will still be able to see the tall green silky-white tasseled tops waving gracefully the wind.

35 acres of Miscanthus grows between Versailles and Tipton on Joe and Marlene Hancock’s property. They are “host farmers” for the specialized crop.

Lady Tigers laying foundation for future

Pipistrelle Press, LLC, Thursday, November 17, 2016, Page 3

Versailles Winter Sports Preview, 2016

The 2016-2017 edition of Versailles Lady Tigers basketball will be a relatively young squad with an eye toward positioning the program for success in the coming seasons. Versailles was 5-19 overall and 1-6 in the TriCounty Conference last season and head coach Tim Spiers enters his second season as coach of the Lady Tigers with four seniors and juniors and the remainder of the team made up of sophomores and freshmen. Cheyenne Espinosa is the lone senior on the team and is joined by juniors Kylynn Ballew, Mareena Bielinski, and Maddy Patten. Sophomores include Reagan Brodersen, Hailey Burnett, Carrie Hoffa, Anna Knoerle, Lindsay Walls, and Hannah Whan. The freshmen players on the roster are Adaya Comer, Kristen Coontz, Allison Foley, Keely Gustafson, and Kylie Viebrock. “We’re definitely in a rebuilding year,” Spiers said. “We don’t have any starters back. We’re at ground zero. There’s going to be a lot of young kids play, there has to be, we only have four upper classmen. We’re trying to change the style we play a little bit this year, so that’s new for everybody. For us, it’s going to a major learning experience.” Since he has such a young

squad, Spiers says most of the practice sessions have been working on the basic offensive and defensive sets, “It will be a situation where we’ll have a base offense and we’ll have to run sets off of it some. We won’t run near as many sets as I’d like to because it takes so much time to get those in. But I will say in the first week of practice, the kids have really bought in and they’re really practicing hard, they’re working hard. Our older kids are giving great leadership in practice. Our motto has been, be better today than you were yesterday. Let’s leave this practice knowing that there’s something we did better.” Espinosa has provided leadership during the preseason practices. “She’s been our most vocal leader so far, but you would expect that from your senior and she’s a great kid,” Spiers said. “I’m really pleased with the effort of these kids.” Spiers pegs Southern Boone as the favorite to win the Tri-County Conference title. “Southern Boone went to the final four and they’ve got almost everybody back. They’re going to be good. Osage is going to be good. Eldon had a good ball club last year, has a lot of them back.” Versailles has been assigned to Class 3 District 13 for the next two

seasons and will host the district tournament in late February. Other schools in the district include Boonville, California, Cole Camp, Holden, Knob Noster, Sherwood, and Warsaw. The only change from last season is California replacing St. Paul Lutheran of Concordia. Boonville won the district title, defeating Cole Camp. “Going in you would think that the district is still going to be top heavy,” Spiers says. “Boonville’s going to be good again. I think California would be pretty good. Cole Camp has most of their kids back; they were in the district final game. I think you’re going to have three or four pretty good clubs and the rest of us it’s going to be who beats who.” With such a youthful team, Spiers says the goals for this year are to improve game-by-game, “We’re going to keep it simple. We want to try to win that first game and then move from there and try to win two. Our main goal is going to be we want to improve enough that we set these kids up with the possibility after this season’s over to be more competitive next year with our young kids. Obviously, we want to win as many games as you can win, but for this group, it’s just get better every day.”

Bryce Kephart Senior

New coach, new attitude for Tigers basketball

The Versailles Tigers basketball team will have a new leader for the 2016-2017 basketball season. Jason Ollison takes over as head coach of the Tigers and brings nine years of head coaching experience, having previously led the programs for three years at St. Elizabeth, two seasons at Stover, three years at Green Ridge, and last season at Warsaw. The Tigers were 6-20 overall and 2-5 in the TriCounty Conference last season. Returnees from last year’s squad include seniors Hunter Edgar, Bryce Kephart, Shane Randall, and Tyler Zolecki, juniors Juan Comstock, Jonathon Geier, Ayrton Gennetten, Zach Kays, and Gage Mayhew and sophomores Ori Bartlett, Colbey Boicourt and Wyatt Espinosa. Ollison says he has a group that’s working hard, “A good core group of guys that really like each other and like working together and that’s a big plus.” There are 17 newcomers this season, juniors Aaron Cutshaw, Gavin Dennis, Chase Hyman, and Kyle McKenzie, sophomores

Garrett Boatright, Sha Leach, Trenton Owsley, Jeremia Smith, and freshmen Seth Bowman, Kyjuan Buckingham, Trent Hyman, Tristin Mayhew, Kaden McGinnis, Brayden Morrison, Quinn Randall, Coby Williams, and Austin Zolecki. Offensively, Ollison wants to push the pace, “I like running and getting up and down the floor; put pressure on the defense by attacking them constantly. With the seniors we have because they’re so big and haven’t been asked to handle the ball a lot it may not look like it this year, but as we develop our program, these younger guys are all going to be able to handle the ball and they’re all going to want to attack and it’s going to be fun to watch. We’ll run a four out, one in most of the time. We like to keep our better ball handlers at the top.” He’ll also want his players to not be afraid to put up a shot, “Especially early in the year we don’t tell guys not to shoot. I think the best way for a guy to be a good shooter is to know that somebody believes in him as a shooter and so we tell guys

if you feel like you can make the shot, you need to shoot it. Now we tell them that we like three-pointers, we like them a lot, it’s a big part of the game, but we love layups. So if your going to pass up a three, make sure you’re passing it up to get to the rim and go shoot that layup, because that’s what we want, it’s a higher percentage shot.” Defensively, Ollison wants to pressure the ball, “We’re working on our press right now to see if we can do a full court press if we’re good enough, if we have the personnel for it. Our biggest thing right now is learning to play man-to-man defense. It’s not something that they’ve done a lot of in the past and so we’re trying to teach some fundamental basics of manto-man defense and helping your teammate and being in the right position before the guy starts to attack the rim and things like that.” Ollison spent last season coaching at Warsaw and says the Tri-County Conference is a tough league, “It’s one of the best small school conferences in the state, and there’s hardly ever a slouch. There’s not going

to be any easy ones for us in the conference, that’s for sure. I think talent-wise we can compete with just about everybody in the conference and I think if we can get a hold of this style of play and we can get a little bit more depth, I think we can make a decent run at being in the top half of the conference easily.” He says Blair Oaks, Southern Boone and Hallsville are three good teams, “You can never go against Blair Oaks and Southern Boone because it seems like every year they’re right there and they’re winning it. But I really like Hallsville’s group. They like to get up and down the floor.” Versailles has been assigned to Class 3 District 13 for the next two seasons and will host the district tournament next February. Other schools in the district include Boonville, California, Cole Camp, Holden, Knob Noster, Sherwood, and Warsaw. The only change from last season is California replacing St. Paul Lutheran of Concordia. Boonville captured the district title last season, defeating Sherwood

in the final. Ollison says the district is wide open, “Boonville won the thing last year. They lost a few guys; they’ve still got some of their guards coming back. They’re going to be a good squad. Knob Noster, we played this summer, and they’ve got a bunch of little fiery kids that play hard. California is always going to be right there in the mix and Cole Camp, they’ve got a good group of kids that are coming through. I don’t think there’s any clear-cut favorites in our district, but at the same time I don’t think there’s anybody that you can count out either.” Ollison says the team talked about what they want to accomplish this season, “We sat down the first day of practice and talked about what we wanted as a group and district championship and conference championship were right there at the top of the list. For me personally, my goals are always about the kids. I want the kids to get better; I want the kids to learn how to be adults. I want the kids to learn how to be responsible. My personal goals have nothing to do with wins and losses.”

Wrestlers seek to continue upward trajectory

Pipistrelle Press, LLC, Thursday, November 17, 2016, Page 8

The Versailles wrestling program made tremendous strides during the 2015-2016 season and expects to build upon that success this season. The Tigers captured fourth place at the Class 1 state meet last season, bringing home the first state trophy in program history. Versailles was second at the district tournament to eventual state champion Seneca, won first place in their own invitational as well as at tournaments in Knob Noster and Lexington, and posted a 17-2 dual match record. Shawn Brantley, beginning his sixth season as head coach, says the 2016 team met the expectation that they would be in the hunt for a state trophy after finishing seventh in Class 1 in 2015, “I felt like the year before maybe we exceeded for the most part, but last year they finally did what they were supposed to.” He says no question the loss of Dylan Ballew, Adam Guinn and Dalton Schmidt will have an effect, “That’s 53 of our 81.5 team points from last year. Number one, two and three in school history in career wins and six medals between them. It’s going to be tough to replace.” The Tigers return five

wrestlers who qualified for the state tournament last season and Brantley expects that many, if not more, to make the trip to Columbia next February. Versailles has nine seniors, two juniors, two sophomores and eight freshmen on the 2016-2017 roster. A look at each weight class heading into the season: 106 – Brantley says freshman Mason Bradley will wrestle at this weight. Another freshman, Payton LaFoy, will contend for varsity time. 113 – senior Zach Reed and LaFoy will be in the mix. 120 – senior Konner Shewmaker is a three-time state qualifier who was 3514 last season at 126. “Twice he’s been in the bubble match to get a medal, so hopefully he’s realizing this is the last crack at it,” Brantley said. Freshman Eddie Oldendorf is also in this class. 126 – junior Kooper Wilson had a 14-8 mark at 120 in 2016 and has gone to state his first two seasons, finishing sixth at 113 his freshman year. He received the team’s Tiger Award after last season. 132 – senior Sam Dornan went 25-27 in this class last season and was voted the

Most Improved wrestler on the team. “He was a match away from going to state last season. He needs to make that next jump now and get there,” Brantley said. Freshman Brycen Reynolds could also see varsity mat time. 138 – senior Brody McGowan along with freshman Clyde Hoxworth make up the candidates at this weight. McGowan was 12-4 wrestling at 120 and 126 last season. Freshman Kendell Cann is also in the mix. 145 – Hoxworth and McGowan may also be wrestling in this class. 152 – senior Jacob Vogt moves up from the 138pound weight class. He was 35-19 and 1-2 at state last season. “He does know this is the last crack at it,” says Brantley. Vogt will be joined by freshman Gage Tessier. 160 – This weight class would be split between Vogt and Tessier. Brantley says the likely scenario is that Tessier would wrestle at 152 and Vogt at 160 to start the season. 170 – sophomore Michael Trotter went 15-9 his first year wrestling at both 152 and 160 and was voted Newcomer of the Year after last season. “We’re expecting some big

things out of him,” Brantley said. 182 – Willie Schotte was fourth at state at 170 last season and finished the year with a 43-7 record. Brantley says he could have a stellar senior season, “He’s currently ranked number two in the state. He can do things that he shouldn’t be able to do. He’s probably one of the best natural wrestlers I’ve ever had” says Brantley. Senior Kevin Banta is a first-year wrestler in the program. 195 - senior Jacob Aeschbacher returns after a 42-11 mark last season and a trip to state. “He’s ranked third in the state right now. In his two losses at state, his first loss was to the kid who got second at his weight last year. His loss in the bubble match was actually to the kid that beat Dylan in the semifinals the year before and was a state finalist,” Brantley said. Junior Walker Schotte and freshman Riley Rademann

may also see mat time. 220 – Aeschbacher, Walker Schotte, and Rademann may also move up to wrestle in this class. 285 – senior Ayden Easton was 27-20 a year ago. “He’s a big strong kid. He was match short of making it last year. He’s right there and several of those top guys in Class 1 heavyweight have graduated, so he’s probably in the mix for a medal,” said Brantley. Sophomore Joseph Shady is also in this weight class. Depth will be an issue at some weights for the Tigers. “In some spots we’ve got lots of depth; in others we don’t have depth, it’s one person,” Brantley said. “Staying healthy is going to be the key probably for this season and for this humongous freshmen group to keep improving all the way through.” Versailles will host the district meet this season and Brantley says that will benefit the Tigers, “It’s a

huge advantage. Typically we wrestle better at home. I think any sports program is going to say that. They perform better at home. I fully expect that will work out to our advantage.” He says Seneca is the favorite again, not only in districts but also for state, “They lost one kid off their team from last year. They’re loaded, they’re probably number one or number two in the state, them and Whitfield.” Versailles has sent nine wrestlers to the state tournament in 2014 and 2016, the highest in program history, and Brantley says this year’s group has the potential to exceed that mark. “Just looking at our line-up now, I think we can break the record, I really do. Some of it depends on those freshmen. The ones that we know we have coming back, there’s no reason every one of them can’t qualify,” he said.

Wishing you a fantastic season!
