City and county will share internet provider when needed LAMAR-An outage of AT&T internet service on July 17 has resulted in an agreement between the city and the Barton County Commission to share as a backup an internet provider that is still connected with the county courthouse. Originally known as Tiadon, the second internet service in the courthouse goes under the name Net Vision Communications. The agreement was reached during discussions between the commission and Dave Stout on July 21. Stout is an internet and telephone technician who serves both the county and city governments. The city would pay all expenses incurred in switching over to the courthouse’s second internet service.

Founder of Missouri Liberty Project addresses senior citizens By RICHARD COOPER Democrat staff writer
LAMAR-The U.S. Supreme Court’s recent decision in the Hobby Lobby case was a landmark decision that struck a powerful blow in favor of religious liberty. That was the message that Joshua Hawley brought to a luncheon meeting at the Barton County Senior Citizens Center on July 24. Hawley is a constitutional lawyer at the University of Missouri School of Law and founder of the Missouri Liberty Project. The Missouri Liberty Project is a coalition of Missouri citizens dedicated to protecting religious liberty and reducing the size of the federal government. It is a foe of the Affordable Care Act, commonly known as Obamacare. Hawley said the Obama administration has contended that for-profit businesses (Hobby Lobby is one.) must surrender their constitutional right of religious liberty protection. Hobby Lobby chal-
lenged that contention, based on the federal Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA), which provides that any federal law that “substantially burdens” a person’s free exercise of religion must be supported by a “compelling governmental interest” that is pursued by the “least restrictive means.” Hobby Lobby specifically based its case on the administration’s rule directing employers to pay for abortion-inducing drugs as part of their employee health coverage. Based on the court’s 5-4 decision, business owners may now challenge any regulation that they believe “substantially burdens” their faith convictions. Hawley said the history of constitutional protection of religious liberty has held that government should stay out of religion. The administration with its secular approach to government has violated that protection. He added that he feels the administration’s goal is establishing a social democracy similar to that found in
western Europe. A member of the audience raised a question about a Democrat plan attacking the Hobby Lobby decision. “How could this come about, since the decision came from the U.S. Supreme Court?” the questioner asked. Hawley responded that it could happen if the law the decision was based Lamar Democrat/Richard Cooper on (the Religious Joshua Hawley of Columbia urged Freedom Resto- protecting our religious liberty during ration Act) was a luncheon stop at the Barton County changed.

Trula Cain Memorial Dog Park dedicated
Lamar Democrat/Melody Metzger A good size crowd attended the ribbon cutting for the Trula Cain Memorial Dog Park, held by the Barton County Chamber of Commerce on Monday, July 21. Right, daughters Karen Simmons and Marilyn Selvey, along with Max Simmons, were present for the grand opening of the Trula Cain Memorial Dog Park on Monday, July 21. By MELODY METZGER Lamar Democrat The Trula Cain Memorial Dog Park held its grand opening at 10 a.m. on Monday, July 21, at the Lamar City Park. Going south on Walnut, turn right on the roadway just past the railroad tracks and travel past the two ball fields, before coming to the dog park. There are future plans to expand the dog park to an adjoining space. The park has been paid for by local contributions from area businesses and individuals. Many people worked together to make the dog park possible and several were present for the grand opening, complete with refreshments and dog treats. Those working towards the reality of the dog park were Gene W. Grounds, who was working towards and has since
earned his Eagle Scout ranking, the Barton County Memorial Hospital Pet Therapy Program, TLC Bows/Jacqui Crockett, Walmart, the City of Lamar and Boy Scout Troop No. 207. Grounds was not able to attend the ceremony as he had other business that needed taken care of. He was hoping to be able to return in time for the ceremony, but did not make it, so was there in spirit instead. The dog park comes complete with a place to sit, a water spigot with a bowl
underneath and a tree that has been planted, to hopefully one day produce shade. The adjoining lot has been fitted with a spigot, as well as a tree for future use. The trees were donated by the Boy Scouts and goodies were given away to dog owners, made possible by Walmart. Contributors can be named to a blue category, as well as red, yellow and canine friends. Those contributing $100, see PARK, page 2A

The Sheldon Library Board met Saturday morning at the library, where plans were made for the library carnival to be held Wednesday, Aug. 6, at 9 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.
Games and prizes will be provided, along with lunch being served. Recent visitors at the home of Juanita Smith were her grandson, Brandon and his wife, Mandy and their five children; the youngest two being 1 ½ year old twins. Her son Allen and wife Sandy also stopped by for a visit. Bill and Delila Brown of Lee’s Summit stopped by Saturday afternoon
at my house for a short visit. Delila is still having problems with the blood clot in her leg and is able to ride, but must stop and walk around often. They also visited Elizabeth Brown, Bill’s mother, at Christian Health Care Center in Nevada. The Sheldon City Park was a busy place on Saturday and Sunday, as a group of volunteers were cutting and trimming
trees and installing new playground equipment. The equipment was provided by the Jerod Lamb family, in memory of their daughter, Hannah. Several projects are being worked on to be ready for the Sheldon Picnic on August 14-16. Tuesday, at noon, a group of friends gathered at the Rock Pile restaurant to help Marj Ness celebrate the fact she was
through taking treatments. Everyone is so happy for Marj. Roberta Bigelow and granddaughter Jordon Conner, and her one month old great-granddaughter, drove to Harrisonville to meet Roberta’s daughter, Angie. Several people from Sheldon attended the farm show at Pittsburg, Kansas over the weekend.

Partially responsible for the size of the bids is the state requirement that the prevailing wage must be paid for the project. That hourly wage figure is a requirement of the Missouri Department of Labor and varies from county to county. Rather than starting the fiscal year over budget, the council unanimously rejected all three bids and will revise bid specifications so that project costs will remain within the budgeted amount. A shed at 607 Walnut, owned by Tom Caruthers, has been under an order to demolish and more recently an order to make repairs. Caruthers has apparently given up
on repairs and asked for a 90-day extension to demolish the structure. A request by letter was read at the July 21 council meeting, and the council unanimously granted the request to have the building down and gone by October 19.

METZGER’S MUTTERINGS
lived a full life, but I still was not ready to see him go. Seems like many of A very special person the mainstays of Lamar died this past week. Ed- are passing on and their die Morin was 91 and had presence already is, or will By MELODY METZGER Lamar Democrat
Letters to editor Dear Editor: Having read several letters to the Joplin Globe and Lamar Democrat by Bob Noel, I felt the need to respond to his letter dated July 16, 2014. Bob's letter claimed that “climate change” is happening, according to “most scientific evidence”. I'll start with the point on which Bob and I agree. I too believe that climate change is happening. The earth's climate has been in a state of change ever since creation. It warms, then cools, then warms again. Can anyone think of any two years that have experienced the exact same climate conditions? This leads to another question. What individual or group of individuals has the arrogance of claiming they know what the ideal temperature of the earth should be? And what should be the perfect levels of CO2? Bob calls CO2 a contaminant. See if the trees, grass, or any green plant would classify CO2 as a contaminant. As far as most scientists agreeing about climate change, it wasn't too long ago “they all” agreed on global warming. When their computer models (which is all the “scientific” data we hear about) weren't correct, they changed the name of the problem to “Climate Change”. Those who hold to the doomsday scenarios seem to come mainly from two schools of thought and seem to have an agenda. 1. Some would call this Radical Environmentalism. This involves worshipping the creation (Mother Earth) instead of the Creator. Man is the problem and must be punished or man is the savior and the only one who can save the planet. 2. Secondly, those that use this issue bring fear, so that people will willingly give up their freedom and money to “save the earth”. People's freedoms are given over to bureaucrats and politicians who tell them how they must live their lives and their money is taken in new taxes, carbon taxes, etc. and in higher utility bills through overbearing EPA regulations. Wanting clean air and water, and being responsible with our environment, doesn't mean we have to check our brain at the door. I am a Christian. Because I worship the God of creation, I realize He created, He sustains and He cares for His creation. Being a follower of Jesus, He has given to me and to all who follow Him the stewardship of His creation. We are to care for and maintain His creation to the best of our ability. We don't use fear of impending doom to motivate anyone, but a love for God, a love for people and a thankfulness for what He has given, motivates us to be the best stewards and conservationists we can be. In Bob's letter, he referred to Congresswoman Vicki Hartzler as “grossly ignorant” of environmental issues. I realize it is an election year and the party line must
be used to discredit the opponent. Perhaps Congresswoman Hartzler is wiser than you think about who is really in charge of this earth and doesn't need a savior in our federal government. Jack Stahl, Lamar
Dear Editor: Regarding the August 5 Missouri ballot issue, Amendment One: I believe this proposal is potentially devastating to our local farmers and to the environment. My main concern: We already have a right to farm, so what is this “right to farm” amendment really trying to achieve? This amendment is neither written nor sponsored by independent family farmers. The amendment proposes to amend the Missouri constitution under the patriotic banner of protecting our ability to farm our land. In reality, it will likely allow even more corporate agribusiness giants and others to buy large sections of Missouri land to set up “factory farms.” These factory farms are given special protection for inhumane treatment. Animals are pumped full of antibiotics and steroids and animal waste is not regulated. It is noteworthy that the language of this proposal contains the words “Missouri Citizens” and the legislative language does not. In a July 23 op-ed piece in The Columbia Daily Tribune, “Top 10 Reasons for Opposing ‘Right to Farm’ Amendments, “John Ikerd, professor emeritus of agricultural and applied economics at the University of Missouri, succinctly summed up the situation: “They (big ag biz) get the benefits; we keep the chemical and biological wastes.” Also, according to another recent article published on KTTS 94.7 FM website, this is happening in other states, including Arkansas and Iowa, with very negative impact and now they want to come to Missouri. To the citizens of Barton County: I urge you to do more research on this questionable amendment. Ask yourself: Is this really about the right to farm, or is it about the right for big business to drive family farms out of Missouri? Send a message that we are proud of the products that we produce and we are proud to walk in the footsteps of our fathers. Sincerely, Dana Rakestraw Prairie Village, Kan. A proud Barton County native Dear Editor: It was reported in a recent issue of the Lamar Democrat that Rep. Vicky Hartzler had been in town to address a gathering of local power plant employees, with the subject being the Environmental Protection Agency's rules concerning coal fired power plants. According to the Democrat among other things Hartzler described her heroic effort to mini-
be missed. I have had the privilege of knowing Eddie since moving back to Lamar over 30 years ago. Ed would often stop by the Democrat and he was someone that I always looked forward to seeing and waiting on, knowing that an interesting conversation would accompany the business transaction. Ed, as many know, was involved in the Interna-
tional Order of Odd Fellows, the VFW and the American Legion. At his funeral it was mentioned that Eddie was one of the ones instrumental in the VFW light a bike program. I had forgotten all about light a bike and hearing it mentioned brought back many happy memories of Eddie, Don Gage, my stepdad, E.L. Guy, and the many others
mize the authority of the EPA, on her way to try to eliminate it altogether. It should be noted that on at least two occasions, similar efforts by ultra conservative Republicans have reached the Supreme Court with the resolution by the Court that the EPA is a legitimate government agency and is fully empowered to do what it does. However, the Court has indeed made adjustments in a few of EPA's rulings. For some reason it appears Rep. Hartzler decided to omit from her discussion health issues which have everything to do with the EPA's intervention in this instance. We therefore would like to fill in some of the information which she failed to mention. To begin with, at the time these new regulations were put in force, one half of the pollution from particle emissions in the U.S. came from older coal burning electricity generating plants. A substantial number of these plants have been in operation for well over 50 years. And many of the new regulations have not come from the EPA, but from state regulations notable among which is California whose requirements are far more restrictive than the EPA's. The economics of it caused some of the older, more polluting plants to close, with “scrubbers” installed on other plants, which were of sufficient modern construction. A 2004 study, the first and more comprehensive to that time, revealed that more than 24,000 deaths in the U.S. were attributed to small particle pollution. Add to this an untold number of respiratory and cardiac problems of varying severity fostered by the same cause. In early 2014, a new study has concluded that since these new EPA restrictions have been in place the number of deaths from fine particle pollutions has been re-
duced to 7,500 each year. Rep. Hartzler also forgot to mention that before any of these regulations are implemented, they must, by law, undergo a mandated period for public comments – meaning from people like you and me. Care is taken that these particular proceedings are not dominated by those with a financial stake or politicians with their own agenda. This is a source of frustra-
that would help out with the event. As many know, Ed's wife Maxine is a correspondent for the newspaper and over the past several months I would travel to their house every Monday morning to pick up her column for that week's paper. Up until the last month or so, Ed would be sitting in his spot on the couch and as I came through the door his was the first face I would see. He always wore a smile and seemed genuinely glad to see me. Although Monday morning is deadline, I tried to take the time to visit, as that was a highlight of my entire week and brought calm in the midst of a crazy Monday. Ed, as well as Maxine, loved having company and I thoroughly enjoyed visiting with them. Of course, anyone that has ever visited Ed and Maxine's house can testify that they always have a basket full of miniature candy bars and Ed wouldn't let me leave without sharing some. In fact, I love dark chocolate and mentioned this at one time to Max-
ine. Ever since she has made sure I never run out! Although Ed's health declined recently, his mind never did and I looked forward to our conversations as much lately, as I had when we were both younger. He always had a way of making me feel good and appreciated and I will miss my friend. Mike Gage with the First Christian Church officiated the service, with many heartfelt stories about Ed and his special outlook on life. Mike said as one would leave the Morin household, above the door was a framed scripture of Isaiah 40:31, “But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint”. Ed was such a strong person, both in conviction and personality and his footprint on this earth will be missed by myself, as well as an abundance of family and friends. Godspeed my friend, until we meet again!

Letters, continued from page 8A tion for these two entities. Such comments are taken into consideration and invariably result in modifications before final rulings are formulated. Many electricity generating plants projected for construction are now expected to be powered by natural gas, a much cleaner burning fuel. Natural gas is in plentiful supply and also is economical compared with the cost of coal. Estimates are that the average yearly bill for consumers from natural gas powered plants will increase about $90; however, the cost for coal production is expected to rise at least

From 4-H to FFA to Best of Show

Photo courtesy Carlee Phipps After the auction. Bobby Chrisman, representing buyer, Larson Farm & Lawn of Springfield; Carlee; and Gracie, Bobby’s daughter. By RICHARD COOPER Three Barton County youngsters started out together in 4-H at the age of eight in the Learn A Do Club. They became close friends and showed livestock together annually thereafter. From showing heifers, they progressed to steers. They entered competition at the Lamar Fair, the American Royal in Kansas City, the Ozark Empire Fair in Springfield and the Missouri State Fair in Sedalia. Awards began to come. When they reached the 4-H age limit of 18, they moved on to FFA,
from which they show today. The three are Carlee Phipps, daughter of Bert and Shawna Phipps; Caitlin McKibben, daughter of Doug and Cathy McKibben, and Jade Morgan, son of Jason and Angie Morgan. Carlee came close to winning the top prize in the 2009 Ozark Empire Fair when her steer was judged the reserve champion, the equivalent of second place. This was in the Gold Buckle competition, which is held to benefit the Ozark Empire Fair’s youth in agriculture program and the fairgrounds improvement fund.
This year, the three friends from Lamar dominated competition in the fair’s Gold Buckle division with all three showing steers that finished in the top eight. It is the top eight steers that are auctioned off following the awards ceremony. Carlee’s steer, Fiefel, was judged Best of Show, or Grand Champion, and Caitlin’s steer was Reserve Champion, or second place. Jade’s steer finished eighth to qualify for the auction as well. There were about 50 entries in competition. Carlee said she bought Fiefel last November when he was a calf of about 700 pounds. At the fair’s Gold Buckle judging, July 24, he weighed in at 1,272 pounds. She described daily care of the animal, which included two baths and blowdryings, keeping him inside during the day, an early evening feeding, and the night spent outside. She called it a genuine family program since there were times when she could not be present for every task, and family members helped out. At the auction, Fiefel drew a top bid of $12,500 from Larson Farm & Lawn of Springfield. Carlee was allowed to keep 75 percent of than amount, and the rest went to the fair for upgrading livestock facilities and benefiting the youth program. She said her part of the winning purse will help pay some of the bills incurred while caring for the steer as well as some of her college expenses. She will start her junior year at Missouri State University, next month, majoring in agriculture education. She says she, “wants to teach how to be a farmer with an honest view of the occupation.” Caitlin is currently enrolled at Ozark Technical Community College in a schedule of classes that are transferable to Missouri State University. Jade is enrolled at Crowder College in an agriculture related curriculum. There were three other Gold Buckle entrees from Barton County that came away with honors. Brandon Overman’s steer won seventh place in that division. Brandon is the son of Howard and Tracey Overman. Stetson Wiss showed the reserve lamb. Stetson is the son of Brooke and Casey Wiss. Mason Brown had the grand champion junior ham. Mason is the son of Matt and Heather Brown. Our conversation with Carlee couldn’t conclude without asking her for a comment on Amendment 1, the Right to Farm, which will be on the August 5 primary election ballot. She responded that she fears the animal rights organizations such as People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) and the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS). They don’t honestly portray agriculture, she said. When asked if she is a registered voter and will she support Amendment 1, she responded with “yes” to both questions.
Another look at Lamar’s oldest cemetery By RICHARD COOPER Democrat staff writer
LAMAR-At the May 19, 2014 meeting of the Lamar City Council, one of the bills submitted for payment was $65 for mowing and upkeep of East Cemetery. Councilman Steve Gilkey, out of curiosity, inquired about its ownership and why the city is paying for its upkeep. City Administrator Lynn Calton quietly responded, “We inherited it,” and the conversation went no further. The Democrat resolved to look further into the history of the largely forgotten burial ground, situated in the 1700 block of Hagny. A story about East Cemetery appeared in the July 15, 2011 Democrat, but we will readily concede that it did not delve deeply enough into the cemetery’s origin. Now, after delving into the heavy and dusty [figuratively speaking] old books of the assessor’s and recorder’s offices, we find that we still do not know

Good Samaritan calls for donations
Youth recently aided the Good Samaritan in collecting goods for their food pantry. The food pantry stock is extremely low as the demand for emergency food continues to grow. While this is typical for the month of July, 126 new families have been added so far this year, with 24 of them added just this month alone. A total of 655 families were served in June, with 60 food emergencies being provided. As of July 24, Good Samaritan has served 644 families and provided emergency food for 32. Unfortunately, three families have had to be turned away due to a lack of food. Donations of non-perishable items such as skillet dinners, tuna, Ramen, crackers, boxed cereal and canned vegetables will be appreciated, as well as any cash donations that will be used to purchase food items. The Good Samaritan would like to thank the community for its continued support that is always appreciated. Help can also be provided through spreading the word, either through facebook or various other posts, that the food pantry stock is dangerously low.
The Good Samaritan Shop would like to extend heartfelt gratitude to Emma and Dave Johnson, who donated much needed food to the emergency food pantry in response to facebook’s “Call for Donations”. Thanks are also extended to their mother, who inspired them to help others in their community. Way to go, Johnsons!
Braeden, Alex and Madison Markley collected donations door-to-door in order to provide a generous donation to the Good Samaritan food pantry. Linda Marti (far right) was a great role model, teaching the children about community service and helping others. The Good Samaritan thanks them for their hard work.
noted that a portion of the property was occupied by a graveyard.

That seems to trace the ownership of part, or parts, of the property that the cemetery occupies, but it only applies to 1884 and 1885. Could it be that C. L. Berry was the last owner of the property, and upon his death no heirs came forward to assume ownership and responsibility for the cemetery’s upkeep? In fact, there seems to be evidence of neglect predating 1880. When Lamar’s Lake Cemetery was incorporated and opened in 1880, several graves in East Cemetery were opened and the remains reinterred in the new Lake Cemetery. This continued for 20 years according to evidence in the Barton see CEMETERY, page 4B

Scout for podworms in blooming soybeans LAMAR-Jill Scheidt, agronomy specialist with University of Missouri Extension in Barton County, scouted fields south of Lockwood near Hwy. 97on July 23, for the crop scouting program. Scheidt offers this advice from the field. Corn is in the milk stage and should enter the soft dough stage soon. “Very little Japanese beetles and
corn earworms were seen in corn. Corn earworm feed at the tip of the ear while other worms like armyworms feed near the middle or base of the ear. Any injury to the ear will make the ear more susceptible to disease,” said Scheidt. A video from Scheidt about scouting for corn earworms is available online at: http:// youtu.be/QdIrISeuJoo.
COLUMBIA, Mo.Striped blister beetles, which can be toxic to horses, are being seen in high numbers in alfalfa in some areas of the state, said University of Missouri Extension entomologist Wayne Bailey. The beetles produce a compound called cantharidin that remains toxic in alfalfa hay for at least four to five years after harvesting. Adult beetles generally do not appear in the first cutting of alfalfa. Risk exists mostly in second and third cuttings.
Beetles appear in alfalfa, soybean and weed patches in July and August after emerging from the soil. They range in length from 1/2 to one inch. They are easily recognized by their characteristic stripes and shape and prominent “neck” area. Bailey said striped blister beetle problems appear following years with large numbers of grasshoppers. This happens because at an immature stage, striped blister beetles feed on grasshopper egg pods in the soil. “There will be high numbers of striped blister beetles after a year of high grasshopper numbers,” Bailey said. They move quickly in packs to pro-
Soybeans are in the third trifoliate and bloom stage, pods should begin to form soon. “Monitor blooming soybeans for podworms. Podworms are many different colors and can have longitude stripes; to differentiate between other worms, look for black dots all over the body, this is an identifier of podworm,” said Scheidt. Threshold levels
are one per foot of row or when five percent or more pods are damaged. “Not much insect feeding was seen,” said Scheidt. Threshold levels for all foliage feeding insects in soybeans are 30 percent defoliation before bloom and 20 percent defoliation during or after bloom. Scheidt says soybean cyst nematodes were
found in one field. “If there is an area of stunted growth, pull up a plant and examine the roots for small circular growths, looking like miniature nodules- these are soybean cyst nematodes,” said Scheidt. These parasites can severely stunt growth and reduce yields. In order to manage SCN, rotate with non-host crops like corn, wheat
or sorghum and control weeds. 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) 682-3579.
tect themselves and to mate. “They drop to the ground as a protective behavior,” Bailey said, and they scurry when they perceive a threat. Striped blister beetles move quickly between fields of soybean and alfalfa, so scout alfalfa frequently to determine pest numbers, Bailey said. Damage to alfalfa is minimal, but risk to horses increases when large numbers of beetles are found in small areas of a field. They earn their name because they can cause blisters on the skin of humans and in the mouths of animals.
The oily, caustic cantharidin in striped blister beetles can cause animals to become sick or die. Bailey said studies from university researchers indicate that it takes between 25 to 225 striped blister beetles consumed in a 24-hour period to be lethal, depending on the size of the horse. Striped blister beetle problems are not new to Missouri. Problems mainly occur due to changes in harvesting equipment and methods. Signs of poisoning vary greatly, said Tim Evans, veterinary toxicologist with the MU College of Veterinary Medicine. Signs include sores of the mouth and tongue, and abnormal breathing with jerking of the diaphragm. Horses may try to relieve the burning sensation by putting their muzzle and lips in water, and blowing
bubbles in the water. They also may paw and stretch often to reduce abdominal discomfort. Animals may urinate more often than normal and urine may be blood-tinged. Diarrhea may contain blood, mucus or sloughed intestinal lining. If you see signs of poisoning, consult a veterinarian and quit feeding the hay immediately, Evans said. A veterinarian can correct electrolyte abnormalities, provide supportive care and help reduce pain of the animal. Crushed beetles are unevenly distributed through contaminated hay. Two horses can eat from the same bale and one may be poisoned while the other is not, Evans said. Control beetle populations with foliar application of insecticides, Bailey said. Application guidelines are available at http://ipm.missouri.edu. MU Extension forage specialists Rob Kallenbach and Craig Roberts
recommend the following management options: • Feed horses with firstcutting alfalfa, which is usually free of striped blister bugs, Kallenbach said. Pure alfalfa stands that are flowering attract beetles most. • Cut late-season alfalfa when 10 percent or less of alfalfa is in bloom. Keep alfalfa free of weeds. • Avoid use of crimpers and conditioners, which crush hay and promote drying, Roberts said. Avoid running tires on windrows. • Scout frequently. Not all fields, even on the same farm, will have beetles, Kallenbach said. Quietly walk through the field the day before harvesting and apply insecticide if needed, Bailey said. Noise causes the beetles to drop to the ground to hide. • Horse owners should purchase only first-cutting hay. Inspect hay before buying and check alfalfa for the presence of blister beetle at time of feeding.
this year that the hottest weather may still lie ahead. Therefore, some LAMAR-We are rapidly tips on how to beat the approaching the midst of heat may still be approsummer, and it appears priate. Know the warning signs
of heat illness, such as nausea, confusion, rapid pulse, throbbing headache, or dizziness. Symptoms vary according to the type of heat stress being experienced. If any of
these heat related illnesses apply, seek immediate medical assistance or call 911. To cope with summer heat, stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day. Avoid alcoholic and caffeinated beverages. Wear light weight, light colored, loose fitting clothing. If living alone, arrange with others to watch out for each other during hot summer days. Prepare a family disaster supply kit and disaster plan to reduce the stress of coping with the aftermath of a weather related disaster, such as a severe thunderstorm or tornado. Information on such a kit is available from the American Red Cross website, www.redcross. org or the University of Missouri Extension website, http://extension.missouri.edu. Here in Lamar and throughout southwest Missouri, the first twothirds of July has been remarkably pleasant. Through the first 24 days, we have had only six days with temperatures in the 90s with the highest of 96 occurring on the 22nd. Through those 24 days, the mean temperature has been 74.5 degrees. That is 3.7 degrees below the long term average of 78.2. Not bad for the historically hottest month of the year. However, precipitation is another matter. The first 24 days have produced only 1.05 inches of rain, far less than the long term average of 3.23 inches for that same period. The average for the entire month is 4.17 inches. This is being written on the 25th. The outlook for the final six days of the month calls for a hot weekend with temperatures well into the 90s, followed by below average readings for the final three days (and nights). Once again, for the hottest month of the year, 2014’s July has been very kind to us. If only it had been more generous with rain.

Job seekers flood labor force, but there’s more to the story By RICHARD COOPER Democrat staff writer
JEFFERSON CITY-The unemployment rate for June increased in all five Missouri counties that the Democrat tracks, but what better time than now to quote the late broadcast news icon, Paul Harvey, “Now, the rest of the story.” Summer job seekers pushed the June labor force to heights it had not seen in many months. Since many of them must still connect with jobs, the unemployment rate rose appreciably. However, the rest of the story is the size of the un-
employment rate was blunted considerably by a strong creation of new jobs in all five counties. Barton County is a good example. The June labor force was swelled by the addition of 261 more job seekers, increasing the unemployment rate to 7.8 percent, up from 7.2 percent in May. However, the rate would have been much higher if it weren’t for the addition of 210 new jobs. That brought the number holding jobs in Barton County to 4,825, which is the greatest number of jobs reported since December, 2007. Jasper County added 284 new jobs, but its labor force expanded by 618 to
Cemetery, continued from page 1B
raise its unemployment rate by half a percentage point to 5.8 percent. Vernon County posted a 5.9 percent unemployment rate for June, influenced by a growth of 346 job seekers to its labor force while adding 248 new jobs. Dade County added 51 new jobs while its labor force expanded by 89. That forced its unemployment rate up to 6.2 percent, an increase of 0.9 from May. Cedar County’s job numbers grew by 164, but its work force expansion of 221 job seekers was sufficient to bring its unemployment rate for May to 6.2 percent,
0.7 percent higher than in May. Missouri’s unemployment rate showed a fractional improvement to 6.5 percent. It was 6.6 in May. The national rate declined to 6.1 percent, a 0.2 improvement from May. In neighboring Kansas, the statewide unemployment rate was 4.9 percent, a fractional increase from May’s 4.8. Each of the three counties on the state line nearest Barton County experienced half a percentage point increase in unemployment in June. Crawford reported 5.5 percent, Cherokee 5.2 percent, and Bourbon 4.9 percent.
County Historical Society. The city began to use East Cemetery as a “potter’s field,” meaning a burial place for the indigent or those who had no known families. Burial lots were free. In the Democrat issue of June 16, 1921, grave diggers were quoted as digging graves deep enough to accommodate two or three levels of coffins. In the same issue, George Brummett appealed for donations to pay for cleaning up the overgrown burial ground. In a March 6, 1925 edition of the Democrat, the discovery of a man’s body in a stream 3 1/2 miles south of Liberal is described. He was believed to be deranged and identi-
fied only as H. Hedstorn. A few days later, March 10, he was buried in East Cemetery. That same issue recounts the burial of Tom Bradbury many years before in the cemetery on January 4, 1879. He was 97, Lamar’s oldest citizen at that time. Terri Young gave a presentation on East Cemetery at the July 9, 1982 meeting of the Barton County Historical Society. She listed the rows of graves and the number in each row, concluding the cemetery has 227 graves, which included 13 Civil War veterans. An unknown author at a later time raised that number of graves to 235. Ms. Young noted that the oldest grave is that of Nebraska Ann
Neil, who died at the age of eight on November 21, 1858. She also mentioned the large cross headstone in the northwest part of the cemetery bearing the scrawled words, “Wyatt Earp’s wife.” Although discredited as a ruse for many years, that claim is now gaining some traction through intensive research by a most unlikely person, Pete McCardle of Leicester, England. McCardle has never been in the United States but has an insatiable interest in the American frontier west. In his highly researched manuscript, “Grave Doubts,” published in the Wild West History Association Journal, he discounts the current belief that the wife of Lamar’s
first city marshall is buried in Howell Cemetery in eastern Barton County. He speculates that Howell Cemetery is inconveniently distant from Lamar, and East Cemetery is a far more likely burial site. He also speculates that Urilla Earp may have died after Wyatt left Lamar for points west, and therefore may have been buried somewhere in Kansas. East Cemetery has been described numerous times in past years as an eyesore because of brush and undergrowth from neglect. In 1939, a cleanup of the cemetery came about due to the efforts of a stranger from Texas. The Klingman family was en route by wagon from northeast Missouri to Oklahoma
when Ella Klingman became ill and died in Lamar on March 12, 1898. She was buried in East Cemetery. The Texas stranger came to Lamar in 1939 in search of the grave of his wife’s mother, Ella Klingman. Through the efforts of several hired workers, the cemetery was cleared and the Klingman grave was located. After the cemetery returned to a tangle of undergrowth, a committee was formed in 1952 to return it to a pleasant appearance once again. The American Legion soon assumed the responsibility for its upkeep and continued in that capacity for the next quarter century. When the Legion felt it could no longer provide
that service, the responsibility was passed on to the city in 1977. The upkeep is maintained on a bid basis. For the last several years, Steve Moore, a city employee, has had the contract. However, Moore does not perform the work on city time, and there is a limit on the number of times he is allowed to mow the cemetery and trim around the grave stones. When passing by East Cemetery, it is impossible to miss seeing flowers and flags placed on several graves. Were they put there by distant relatives, or as a remembrance of those who have passed on before us? Each reader must supply his/her own answer.

LIBERAL NEWS
Liberal Area Civic Group discusses Prairie Days LIBERAL-The Liberal Area Civic Group met Tuesday, July 15, at the Barton Mutual Community Room. Twelve members were present when President Mary Toney called the meeting to order at 7 p.m. Toney called for the secretary's report. After the reading of the minutes by Sally Fast, Toney asked for corrections and hearing none, the president declared the minutes approved as read. Next, Jacqui Nichols gave the treasurer's report. She stated the checking account balance sat at $10,802.39, with a CD balance of $1,912.33. She explained the lower balance of the checking account was due to payment for the tent for Prairie Days. Toney stated she had handled the biennial pa-
perwork for the right-of way signage outside of Liberal. She also reported the inflatables have been secured for Prairie Days. Bracelets will be sold at $5 each. Toney said Liberal was to be featured in the window for the Barton County Chamber of Commerce during the month of August. A discussion followed as to what items to display. Next, the topic of possibly building an open shelter in the South City Park was discussed. Given the estimate of $15,000 for the 30x50 structure, the group determined approximately half of the funds are readily available. Possible placement and ownership discussions must be had; however, no action was taken at the time. Dana Meadows reported that she is continuing
to work toward the design of a logo for the t-shirts. The topic of Prairie Days was discussed and Toney shared ideas she had collected since last year's event. She also discussed the various advertising possibilities for the group. Willis Strong stated he would like to have information for the postal flyer by August 29. The topic of signage for the grand marshals was discussed. Fast made a motion to give Toney authority to handle the details of purchasing two suitably sized white banners with red lettering displaying, "Grand Marshals". Sheri Keltner seconded the motion and the motion passed unanimously. Toney then handed out paperwork to each chairman for his or her event. Each chairman is to com-
plete and return their form on or before the next meeting, thus allowing time for event packets to be prepared. Each packet will include historical notes of the event and all ribbons, meal tickets, prize money, etc. which
7B
are needed for the event. Jordan Dickey reported that she had ordered the tickets for the gun raffle. It was decided the September meeting should be held a week early to insure there was plenty of time to address last minute details
prior to the September 19 and 21 events. With no other items remaining on the agenda. Toney stated the next meeting would be held Tuesday, Aug. 19 at 7 p.m. and declared the meeting adjourned at 7:45 p.m.
