Work underway to repair bridges

The Barton County Route F bridge over Horse Creek, east of Lamar, closed for 66 calendar days beginning June 16, according to the Missouri Department of Transportation.

Contractor crews are replacing the bridge deck or driving surface.

Beginning this week, the Vernon County Route B bridge over Clear Creek, between I-49 and Route DD, east of Sheldon, is scheduled to be closed. It will reopen by the end of August.

The roads are being closed so contractor crews can move quickly to make the major repairs to the bridges and get them open more quickly for drivers.

Signs and message boards will alert drivers to the road closings and detours where they are designated.

Weather and/or construction delays will alter the work schedules.

Two other bridges, Vernon County Route E over Clear Creek, east of Milo, and Dade County Route A over Muddy Fork, southwest of Lockwood, are scheduled for construction in 2015.

Powley to join Konantz Warden team

By MELODY METZGER Lamar Democrat

Gerald Powley has recently returned to the area to join CK Warden at Konantz Warden Funeral Home. Powley, who is a Methodist minister, served the United Methodist Churches in Liberal and Iantha four years ago before the church sent him and his family to West Texas.

He has been senior pastor in Memphis, Texas for the past three years. With a wish to return to the area, he rang up Warden and inquired as to the possibility of a partnership, with Powley eventually taking the reigns once he obtains his license for funeral director and pre-need.

Joining Powley will be his

wife, Denise, who will be teaching first grade at Carthage this coming school year. The couple have five children, Andrew, 23, who is currently serving in the United States Army, stationed in Afghanistan; Cara, 22, who is a CNA in Oklahoma; Stephanie, 21, who will be a senior Elementary Education major at Pittsburg State University; Deborah, 17, who resides in Texas and Alex, 16, who will be a junior at Lamar High School.

While getting his training and working at Konantz Warden, Powley will be serving the United Methodist Churches in Greenfield and Dadeville.

Powley graduated Oklahoma Wesleyan University in 2005

2 SECTIONS, 12 PAGES

with a degree in Business Management, going on to attend Phillips Theological Seminary, where he studied from 2006-2013.

Warden believes that due to Powley's business experience, as well as his life in the ministry, he will be a huge asset as he makes a name for himself.

With the arrival of Powley, Warden has no plans to fade into the background. In fact his fondest desire is to eventually fill his old friend, Norman Thomp-

son's shoes, by holding the position of experienced wise guy and part time labor. Thompson has been gone five years now and Warden still misses his knowledge and sage advice.

As ministers, Powley and Warden share a common vocation and philosophy, which they believe will help them demonstrate the love of Jesus Christ in word and deed, believing that in Christ's love, everyone is someone. see POWLEY, page 6A

In the 41 years that Holt has served, he has been in both the public, as well as the private sector and he has been able to obtain and keep his current Public Law Enforcement Commission.

He has his CEU's to re-certify in December of this year, in order to be able to go another three years. Holt plans to return to MSSU this fall to obtain his recertification hours for 2017. He figures that will take him to age 74 and even after that he plans to keep doing what he loves most, a career in law enforcement.

What an incredible accomplishment from such a humble man. Holt was recently awarded a resolution from the State of Missouri, in recognition of his 41 years of law enforcement service. Holt would like to recognize everyone that has helped him along the way, ending with the firm statement, “I'm proud to be a cop!”

Enjoy the 4th of July safely

By CHIEF RON HAGER Lamar Police Department

We at the Lamar Police Department want you and your children to enjoy the 4th of July holiday in as safe a manner as possible. There are several regulations concerning the discharge of fireworks that were put in place for our safety. The following is a recap of the rules that cover fireworks discharge inside the city limits of Lamar.

1. Even though fireworks can

be sold prior to July 1, the only time they are legal to discharge in the city limits is on July 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.

2. You can only legally discharge those fireworks that are marked UNO336, 1.4G. * This is the renamed classification for Class C or common fireworks.

3. Hours for discharge are from 12 noon until 11 p.m., on the days listed above.

4. Fireworks can only be discharged on private property.

There is no legal discharge of

the fireworks on the public square, on public streets, from public buildings other public properties or from motor vehicles or in the city parks.

5. Fireworks cannot be shot within 300 feet of a hospital or any licensed nursing home or boarding house. This would include both Truman Healthcare and Bristol Manner.

6. Bottle rockets, although they can be purchased and sold at the local stands, cannot be shot within the city limits.

7. Remember if your minor son or daughter is caught violating these regulations and you know what they are doing, you can be summonsed into court for a violation of this ordinance.

The 4th of July is supposed to be a time of celebration. Keep an eye on your children and help them enjoy the festivities of the year. Keep a water hose handy and never hold fireworks in your hand when discharging them, it’s much too dangerous.

CORRESPONDENTS Coonfoot & Vicinity

By LOUISE OTT Peeking out the door this early Monday morning I see our dear Lord has blessed us with sunshine and strong winds.

My tree limbs are moving pretty good.

Hoping all fathers had a good day. Vanessa and Nathaniel Hudson had dinner at Sirloin Stockade at noon for Lonnie and Bonnie Hudson and George Straw.

Gary and Judy Nelson, Michael Nelson and Ella Mae Turpen all enjoyed dinner at a restaurant on Sunday.

Arbry Winans, Ray and Tristan, Ray and Nicole Winans and Elvin Winans Jr. and Durella were visitors of Marie Winans.

Kenneth Dee and Esther Archer, Sarcoxie route, and Louise Ott, Jasper route, were dinner guests on Sunday of George Straw.

Bert and Daffall Ott cooked ham and beans in the big kettle at Cave Springs' big day and also made homemade cornbread. They ran out and people were still coming, so they could have gotten rid of more.

Remember the big bridge south of Alba is now open and it's so nice to go straight through to Hwy. 96, instead of

hunting another road.

The road on baseline is now closed, as they are working on a bridge. My daughter, Sara Payne, Olathe, Kansas, had to detour when she spent the weekend with her mother, Louise Ott, and she left to go back home on Sunday after we attended church at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church.

Be sure and watch for the turkey on Highway O, as they fly out of the wheat fields and I had to stop for them the other day or I would have probably got my pickup bent.

You never know when the wheat is taller now and soon ready to combine.

The creek was up in my yard this past week, also, as the water got pretty high and you couldn't get south of Alba until the water went off the road. Sometimes, when water gets up that high, you never know if some blacktop is washed off the road either.

By GAIL LEAMING You may not hear from me next week as I am having surgery in the morning and I don’t know how long it will be before I can use my arm.

I did start writing four years ago when I had only one arm working, so that may be the case again. On top of that Ron is having surgery too, so we will both be down at the same time. We may have to flip a coin to see who gets up anytime we need something.

This was not good planning. Mowing the yard will be out, so we may just

bale it or Ron said something about Roundup.

This has all been so sudden we are just getting the idea about what happened? The doctors don’t want to wait, so they either need the money or we must really need this to take place. Since I have so much metal in the arm, they can’t do MRIs and said I may have to have a reversal. I told the doctor that now I really won’t know if I will be coming or going. We have just been taking x-rays and doing doctor appointments all week, except to go to court to get a renter evicted and the sheriff 's to get our concealed renewed.

Oh yes, we also found a place to get our 8 mm film put on DVDs. Some go back to the 1960s. These might be very interesting.

Saturday we went to the Sportsman Club picnic in Walnut Grove and met some nice people there.

Put an ad in the paper to sell the pups, so that may take a little work of Ron. Sure will miss this batch as they are so personal and smart.

Evelyn Gasper and Bob got called back to Independence this week because the electricity went off, which meant their sump pump wasn’t working with all the rain.

They have a completely finished basement that was flooded. What a job and what a worry when they needed to be in Ten-

nessee. She said that the carpet was out and they were on their way back to Tennessee with workmen left to finish under the watchful eyes of their sons. You guys be careful and prayers for the family in Tennessee.

Prayers for my granddaughter in a Joplin hospital too. So far so good with her. Almost was in the middle of an accident the other day when Austin Harshaw's wagon came loose, broke the safety chain and jumped into a ditch. Quick thinking on everyone involved.

His dad was following and saw the whole thing.

He backed into the ditch and pulled it right out.

Nothing was damaged.

As Austin said ”Just another exciting day in farming.” Just so glad no one was hurt. The road department is out patching for the summer, so watch for the oil and tar signs. Happy trails to Patty Weinstein, her mother and sister and all the fun they are having. Welcome home to the Hollingsheads.

pleased to have Melissa Johnson, FNPC and Alana McVay, CN from the Sheldon Medical Clinic present and they reported on needed health benefits that are now available.

The meeting adjourned to meet July 1, for the birthday meeting, to hon-

Chicken Annie's Original to observe 80 years Chicken Annie's Original will celebrate its 80th anniversary on Wednesday, June 25, by offering a three piece mixed chicken dinner with the original potato salad and cole slaw for only $4 plus tax. This deal is limited to one per person, with no carry-outs.

In 1934, Ann Pichler began cooking out of her kitchen after a coal mine accident disabled her husband, Charlie. She would

prepare dinners for the other miners and on Saturday's, she and the family would move furniture out of the living room to accommodate diners.

Annie's reputation soon spread throughout southeast Kansas and anyone that was looking for a good meal, warm hospitality and a dance or two, could depend on Annie.

With time the family had to move out of the house were added to accommoand additional rooms date customers.

In the beginning customers would come in and after ordering their meal they would return to their cars and wait until their name was called.

This continued until 1963, when Annie retired and her two children, Louella and Carl, along with their families, took over the running of the restaurant.

As business grew, Chicken Annie's vacated

Anyone that plays, watches, coaches, or is somehow involved in the game of baseball has had an extremely challenging summer.

Last week was eightyear old grandson Kobyn's last week of regular baseball play, so Gary and I decided to make the drive on Wednesday to watch him play. Jud had even made arrangements so that he could go with us and we were all prepared to head north.

Didn't happen. Evidently the fields in Polo, where he was scheduled to play, don't drain very well and the game was called. Although disappointed, we weren't too worried as the game was scheduled to be played the following evening, so what's another day? Wrong again. So much rain had occurred that there was no way they could play on the fields.

The next day they ended up changing the games to Hamilton, where Ko goes to school and the closest “big” town, as their fields drain better, but we did not know that until 5:30 p.m. With a scheduled start time of 6 p.m. and being 3 ½ hours away, again it didn't happen.

Another game was scheduled for Friday night, as

Leininger-McKinney engagement

Gene and Eileen Leininger, Sheldon, and Terry and Linda McKinney, Harwood, announce the engagement and approaching marriage of their children, Ashley Louise and Joel Ian. Ashley is a 2007 graduate of Sheldon High School, a 2009 graduate of Cottey College with an Associate of Science degree, a 2011 graduate of Missouri State University with a Bachelor of Science degree in Communication Sciences and Disorders and a 2013 graduate of Rockhurst University with a Master of Science in Communication Sciences and Disorders. She is employed by the Nevada R-5 School District as a speech pathologist.

Joel is a 2008 graduate of El Dorado Springs Christian High School and Fort Scott Community College. He is the owner of Progressive AgriServices LLC and works with his father on the family farm.

Grandparents of the couple are LaVerne and Helen Leininger of Sheldon, the late George and Adeline Mertz of Ft. Scott, Kan., Carol and the late Jim Moore of Austin, Texas and the late Dennis and Jewell McKinney of Schell City.

The couple will exchange their vows on July 5, at the Sheldon Christian Church. well as a rescheduled date of Saturday from the recent rainout, but Kobyn was scheduled to go on a float trip to Eminence, where he was baptized on Sunday. Guess if you're going to miss a ball game, that's a very legitimate excuse!

Being extremely disappointed about not getting to watch him play, we were elated when he called us up to let us know there would be a two day tournament the next week, with two games on Tuesday and two on Wednesday. So come Tuesday, Gary and I headed out and were extremely fortunate to not have any crazy Kansas City slowdowns.

We sailed through, making it to the ball park in Hamilton at 6:05 p.m.

Upon getting to the park I began the search for Kobyn, his mom or some of his mom's family. I had no idea what color his team was, so I just started scanning the field. His mannerisms have not changed one iota over the past eight years and I spotted him immediately.

Of course he was the best dressed player on the field

and seemed to be more interested in making sure his pants and shirt looked good, than with getting ready to catch the ball.

We were lucky enough to watch two games; one they barely won and the other a blowout. It is so much fun to watch that age group (machine pitch), as they are still learning and growing. They want to win, but don't seem to have the competitiveness that comes later in life. Following the game we went to a local establishment for a bite to eat and some ice cream and several of Kobyn's friends were there too. It was special watching him interact and play with his buddies, as I marveled at how much he has grown and come into his own.

When he lived in Lamar it was all anyone could do to get him to even speak and he was painfully shy.

He has outgrown that and is thriving in a loving, Christian environment.

So after seven hours in the car and three hours of sitting on the bleachers (we forgot out chairs – that's what comes with being out of practice!) we parted with plans of getting him in July so that he could come to Lamar to spend a few days and that is something I always look forward to. Traffic was good coming home and we arrived back in Lamar about 1 a.m., tired, but happy from getting to spend time with a very special grandson. As Ko ages, his games will be played more during the week, instead of on weekends and he is planning to play contact football at the end of the summer, so better keep the car tuned up and gassed up. At least with football you don't have to worry about rain, so we should be “good to go”.

SUMMER IS OFFICIALLY HERE!!!

HAVE THE PERFECT SUMMER WITH THE HELP OF THESE LOCAL ADVERTISERS FOR THE BEST

SUMMER SALES AND ACTIVITIES!

Tips for preventing heat-related illness The best defense of heatrelated illnesses is prevention. Here are some prevention tips furnished by the CDC and brought to readers by the Barton County Ambulance Department. * Drink more fluids (nonalcoholic), regardless of your activity level.

Don't wait until you're thirsty to drink. Warning: If your doctor generally limits the amount of fluid you drink or has you on water pills, ask him how much you should drink while the weather is hot. * Don't drink liquids that contain alcohol or large amounts of sugar.

These actually cause you to lose more body fluids. Also, avoid very cold drinks, because they can cause stomach cramps. * Stay indoors and, if at all possible, stay in an air-conditioned place. If your home does not have air conditioning, go to the shopping mall or public library – even a few hours spent in air conditioning can help your body stay

cooler when you go back into the heat. Call your local health departments to see if there are any heatrelief shelters in your area. * Electric fans may provide comfort, but when the temperature is in the high 90's, fans will not prevent heat-related illnesses. Taking a cool shower or bath, or moving to an air-conditioned place, is a much better way to cool off. * Wear lightweight, light-colored, loose-fitting clothing. * Never leave anyone in a closed, parked vehicle. * Although anyone, at any time, can suffer from heat-related illness, some people are at greater risk than others. Check regularly on infants and young children, people aged 65 or older, people who have a mental illness or those who are physically ill, especially with heart disease or high blood pressure. * Visit adults at risk at least twice a day and closely watch them for signs of heat exhaustion

or heat stroke. Infants and young children, of course, need much more frequent watching.

If you must be out in the heat, limit your outdoor activity to morning and evening hours. Cut down on exercise. If you must

exercise, drink two to four glasses of cool, nonalcoholic fluids each hour.

A sports beverage can replace the salt and minerals you lose in sweat.

Warning: If you are on a low-salt diet, talk with your doctor before drink-

ing a sports beverage. Remember the warning in the first “tip” (above) too.

Try to rest often in shady areas. Protect yourself from the sun by wearing a wide-brimmed hat (also keeps you cooler) and sunglasses and by putting

on sunscreen of SPF 15 or higher (the most effective products say “broad spectrum” or “UVA/UVB protection” on their labels).

Powley, continued from page 1A Upon Warden's arrival in 2003, when he bought the funeral home out of bankruptcy, there were over 400 prepaid funerals on the books, with only a fraction of the needed funding in the accounts; carrying around $2 million in unfunded liability.

Konantz Warden has been able to honor the contracts, just as they were written, and they didn't even need a government buy out to be successful.

None of the families were required to make up the difference and published prices for goods and services still remain the lowest in the area.

Powley and Warden believe in the commitment to keep costs of funerals affordable. Warden has been able to accomplish this through the aid of his past office help, Faye Fox, who was at the funeral home when Warden started, and more recently, Lori Smith, who came to Konantz Warden from Truman Healthcare and is now at Good Shepherd Nursing Home in Lock-

wood. Warden doesn't know how he could have got this far without these two gifted and compassionate ladies, as well as Norman and Loetta Thompson.

Konantz Warden Funeral Home, located at 1301 Gulf in Lamar, has been providing funeral and memorial services in the community since 1920. Their goal continues to be to assist individuals with the process of designing and providing lasting memories of a meaningful, customized service that matches individual taste, as well as the pocketbook. They are also available to help with preplanning needs and custom designed monuments.

Warden stated, “I'm so glad to have Gerald on board and I look forward to many years of partnership in service to our community”. Please join the community in welcoming Powley and his family and wish him success as he starts on this phase of his life.

SECTION B

Winningham attends largest book expo in North America The spotlight was on children's book author Barbara Winningham recently when her second book, “The Turtle Pit,” published by America Star Books, formerly Publish America, was represented at the Javitt Convention Center in Manhattan, New York on Friday, May 31. A book signing was held between 11 a.m. and 1:30 p.m.

Winningham pointed out that only the people that purchased her book will know how the book was inspired by a very personal encounter. Many librarians, teachers, publishers, retail book stores, authors and airplane companies were present for this three day event, as well as Barnes and Noble and anyone looking for children's books or literature.

“The Turtle Pit” is printed in German, Spanish, Chinese, of course English, and many other languages and a copy is available at the local Barton County Library.

Winninghams' first book, “My Kitty Dog” was very successful. She has also published “Whispers At Potato Creek”

and “Chatters Nut House.” Her books can also be found on Amazon. They are also on Kindle and Nook and many other websites.

Winningham thought about writing children’s books in her early 20's, but claims she is way older than that now! However, she started rearing children and working, so it was only eight years ago that she began writing.

She got her first book, “My Kitty Dog”, published two years ago and in February 2013, her second book was published. Both books seem to be extremely well liked by children. Winningham said, “When they sent 'My Kitty Barbara Winningham was in the spotlight with her second book, “The Turtle Dog' authors' edition in the mail Pit”, published by America Star Books and represented at the Javitt Convention and the package was opened,” it Center in Manhattan, New York on Friday, May 31, with a book signing held was just like when they put your between 11 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. newborn baby in your arms.” Her book was officially born! ningham stated that just the other day a The lady bought “The Turtle Pit” and While on her excursion to New York, lady came up to her at church and said, Winningham was happy to autograph it Winningham seized the opportunity to “I was told you write children’s books. for her, telling her, “I bet you’re the only sell books on airplanes and at restau- You’re an author!

Barton County 4-H Teen Leaders teach water quality

Barton County 4-H Teen Leaders presented the WET project at Lamar East Primary School to fourth and fifth grade summer school science classes at Wheeler Park. The Teen Leaders are beginning a series of a new project, "Teens Teaching Teens". The WET project is an interactive education project that enables every child to understand and value water, ensuring a sustainable future. The teens presented two programs in the two hours sessions.

The workshop, Water Quality? Ask the Bugs! included a bio assessment of a stream by sampling macro invertebrates (represented by ordinary materials). Student objectives were to define the name of macro invertebrates, describe the diversity of the macro invertebrates and then analyze them by learning the process for which macro invertebrate are assessed results were recorded and Pollution Tolerance indexes were determined. After working through worksheets, the group was able to take samples from Wheeler Park Lake and identify the real macro invertebrates that were in the simulation kits. Students identified snails, mayflies, minnows and various macro invertebrates.

Water crossings provided students the opportunity to build a raft, boat or flotation device to carry them and their possession across a river. In the early days of early settlers and Students were able to evaluate macro invertebrates from explorers water transportation was key to travel. Students Wheeler Park. were provided a bag of supplies including sticks, string and a passenger to create a floatation device that would simulate crossing a river or tributary.

The device was required to float for 30 seconds.

Project WET's mission is to reach children, parents, teachers and community members of the world with water education that promotes awareness of water and empowers community action to solve complex water issues. Goals are achieved by publishing water resource education materials, providing training workshop, organizing water festivals and water action activities .This program meets the requirements for MAPP testing for fifth grade students. The goal of the group is to provide a water festival in the spring of 2015.

4-H Teen Leaders Nate Cable, Kelsie Morgan, Allison Hawes, Jackie Neher and Nathaniel Hawes, along with 4-H Program Assistant Elaine Davis and MU Agronomist Jill Scheidt presented the workshop. A special thank you is extended to Ruth Wyrick and Dawn Davis for allowing them to come into the classroom.

Above, Nate Cable is working with the students on building a floatation device. A test run leads to making changes for making a successful water crossing.

Right, Kelsie Morgan works with her group on the macro invertebrates simulation kit, where they received potential water quality.

LEGALS/CLASSIFIEDS Cost, continued from page 4B national index. In fact, its rating of 106.4 is the 13th highest in the United States.

All except one of the states bordering Missouri reported lower costs of

living. Illinois had 95.5 and ranked 21st. Tennessee was second in the nation at 89.7, Kentucky was third with 90.0, Oklahoma fourth at 90.4, Kansas sixth at 91.3, Nebraska

seventh at 91.7, and Iowa and Arkansas tied for ninth at 92.5. Mississippi continued to have the nation’s lowest cost of living with only 87.8.

The highest indices were Hawaii with 162.9, the District of Columbia

139.6, New York 132.2, and Alaska 131.8.

Among the participating Missouri cities, all except Kansas City continued to remain below the national average. Kansas City’s cost of living increased in virtually every category,

which included a steep increase in grocery prices.

It finished with an overall index of 103.9. Joplin had the lowest index with 89.6, Jefferson City reported 91.5, Springfield 92.4, St. Louis 93.4, and Columbia 94.8. Again, standing

out was Joplin’s index for utilities, which was 117.7, the seventh highest index in that category among all the states in the nation.

Girl Scout Troop No. 61011 donates cookies to AOK/ Nathan's Place

The Barton County Master Gardeners are pleased to announce the Yard of the Month for June belongs to Sam and Shirley Bull at 504 Gulf. The Bulls have spent 15 years landscaping this beautiful park like setting. Lollipop crabapple trees line the driveway, purple clematis and wisteria cover the archway leading to the front porch, and a circular bed of yellow daylilies brightens the side yard. One of Shirley's favorite trees is the Kousa dogwood that produces lush blooms for six weeks and she is also partial to the Crape Myrtles that are spread through out the yard and brick patio. A charming garden shed and wooden gazebo are proof of Sam's carpentry skills and his gardening tip of the day is to kill henbit weed only in the fall. One of the most recent additions to the Bull yard is a special play area with a tree planted for each of their five grandchildren. If anyone has a yard to nominate they should call the Missouri Extension office at 417-682-3579.

Accident report A one vehicle accident occured at 2:35 a.m. on Thursday, June 12, three miles east of Irwin on Hwy. C, when an eastbound 2000 Chevrolet Cavalier, being driven by David J Dalbey, 49, Lamar, ran off the roadway, struck a culvert and overturned. According to the Missouri State Highway Patrol, he was not wearing his safety device.

Members of Troop No. 61011 donated Girl Scout cookies to AOK and Nathan’s Place on May 8. The troop’s top five cookie sellers during the 2014 cookie season (pictured left to right: Lexi Phipps, Kara Morey, Kaitlyn Davis, Meghan Watson and Elisea Daniels) were selected to present the donation. About Our Kids (AOK) provides educational programs and services to youth in the Barton County area, as well as daily care during the school year and summer. Nathan’s Place is a home-away-from-home for kids, with a kitchen, living area, basketball court, exercise equipment, a sound system, video games, a pool table and movies.

Wind is an important factor when applying herbicides LAMAR-Jill Scheidt, agronomy specialist with University of Missouri Extension in Barton County, scouted fields west of Lockwood on June 18 for the crop scouting program.

Corn is in the 14-16 leaf stage. “The corn should tassel within the next two weeks. A minor amount of rust was seen on some varieties, but nothing to worry about; rust rarely requires treatment in Missouri corn,” said Scheidt.

Scheidt identified Paraquat herbicide injury on corn in at least one field.

Paraquat is a highly volatile herbicide used in soybeans that can drift more than one mile from the location where it was applied. “If there is wind, wait to apply Paraquat to prevent injury to nontarget plants, even if us-

ing a drift retardant,” said Scheidt.

Soybeans are in the 4-5 trifoliate stage. A little herbicide burn from Prefix was seen, the new leaves are unaffected so the plants will recover. She also found some insect feeding. “Soybeans can tolerate up to 30 percent defoliation before bloom before treatment is required,” said Scheidt.

Wheat is in the hard dough stage. Harvest wheat at 13.5 percent moisture in order to prevent fungus development in the storage bin. “If harvesting wet wheat, producers should dry wheat as it is going into the bin and make sure the first load is completely dry before adding more wheat.

If the grain bin is filled all at once, the wheat at the top of the bin will not

dry and may sprout due to humid conditions that occur in June and July,” said Scheidt.

Scheidt found Stagonospora blotch on some wheat heads. Wet weather conditions after flowering favor disease development in wheat. “No fungicides are available for application at this time. Fungicides must be applied at the flag leaf stage if weather conditions are warm and humid to prevent stagonospora blotch,” said Scheidt.

The weekly field scouting report is sponsored by University of Missouri Extension and Barton County Extension. For more information on this scouting report, or to learn how to receive it a week earlier by telephone, contact the MU Extension Center in Barton County, (417) 6823579.

Dalbey received moderate injuries and was taken to Barton County Memorial Hospital in Lamar.

According to the Missouri State Highway Patrol, a 2005 Ford F150, driven by Lynn J Wakeling, 40, Lockwood, was backing up and struck an unknown vehicle in Muncy’s Supermarket parking lot in Lockwood.

The report stated that

eight year old Hannah E Steeley of Lockwood was riding on the tailgate of the F150 and was injured upon impact of the unknown vehicle. Steeley was transported to Barton County Memorial Hospital by private vehicle with moderate injuries.

The report stated that the accident occurred at 5 p.m. on Saturday, June 14.
