Northwest Missouri Cellular (NWMC), Maryville, MO, and Midwest Data Cen-ter, Rock Port, MO, recently announced plans to combine efforts and open an of-fice in Mound City at 702 State St.

Northwest Missouri Cellular is a lo-cally owned and operated wireless com-munications company serving Atchison, Holt, Nodaway, Worth and Gentry coun-ties.

Midwest Data Center is a wholly owned subsidiary of Rock Port Telephone, a co-operative that has been serving local cus-tomers for over 100 years. Midwest Data will be offering computer sales and ser-vice to the Mound City area residents.

“Laukemper Motors has done an out-standing job representing us in Mound City and will continue to be an agent for us,” said Roger Bundridge, manager of NWMC, “but we hope that offering an additional location in the area will ex-

pand our reach even further.”Michael Goins, CTO of Midwest Data

Center, said “It’s a great fit for us. We want to offer Mound City residents a convenient, reliable source of computer repair and be able to give customers lo-cal access to purchase new computers for home or business use. The combination of services has worked well in Rock Port and we want to offer the same opportunities in Mound City.”

According to Bundridge and Goins, the number one focus will be customer ser-vice. Glen Hockemeirer has been chosen to operate the Mound City location.

Goins said, “We think he will be a great fit for the community and we hope every-one will stop in and meet him.”

Remodeling of the office space is nearly complete, with the store opening thereaf-ter. A grand opening is planned for May 13 and 14.

Burge promoted at Big Lake State Park

Rusty Burge of Mound City, MO, recently received a promotion to Natural Re-source Manager 1 at Big Lake State Park. Rusty, who has worked at Big Lake State Park for 25 years as a Park Maintenance Worker 3, will fill the position vacated by Gary Parker, who retired in July of 2009.

Burge, who has been as-suming the duties of Parker since his retirement, will now have the sole respon-sibilities for the office. With the cutbacks announced in 2009, Burge, who had ap-plied for the position, en-dured quite a wait.

“It’s a relief to know I ac-tually have the job now, but it’s different because I have the full responsibility for the position,” Burge stated about receiving the promo-tion. “Gary (Parker) trained me well, so I’m ready for it.”

With the major cutbacks to the park system an-

nounced in 2009, Burge recognizes the challenges of getting the work done at the park. Still short one position at the park and with a 60% budget cut for seasonal help, the third largest park in the district has had to make ad-justments. Mowing at the park has been cut 50%. Vol-unteers will not only assist as park hosts, but will work Sunday through Thursday in the fee booth (contact sta-tion).

With Burge’s previous po-sition now open, human re-sources will be looking for a replacement. Mark Kunkel, Park Maintenance Worker 2 with 24 years of experience, has applied for the position, but the district will be look-ing at the reinstatement register for personnel who qualify for the maintenance 3 position that have been laid off due to the cutbacks. The position should be filled in the next two weeks.

Big Lake Resort to open Friday

With winter over, thoughts of summer activities begin racing through one’s mind. Al Schmurr and Lindsay McCor-mick, concessionaires at Big Lake Resort, have been think-ing and planning for summer all winter long. They are anx-ious and excited for another season and will reopen the re-sort on Friday, April 30.

When they took on the job of concessioning last year, their feet hit the ground running. This year they are opening with even more opportunities and delectables for visitors to the resort.

In addition to menu chang-es, rental additions and conve-nience store (C-Store) changes, there will be two new attrac-tions for visitors.

One new attraction will be the Sunset Dinner Cruise offered on Friday evenings and upon reservation. The cruise, which will seat up to three couples, will start with a champagne toast dockside and include a steak or chicken dinner as the passengers en-joy the lake at sunset.

Another new attraction will be Movie Under the Stars. Every Friday evening June through August, a movie will be featured on a drive-in mov-ie screen as swimmers enjoy nighttime swimming. Conces-sions will also be available.

The C-Store will be open with a full line of breakfast, lunch and dinner items avail-able seven days a week. The store will be open Sunday

through Thursday from 8:30 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. and Fridays and Saturdays from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.

The C-Store also provides eight different types of water vehicles for rental in two, four or eight hour increments of enjoyment. A long list of other items are available for rent for full family enjoyment.

Big Lake Resort’s Wa-ter’s Edge Dining Room and Lounge has expanded its menu for the season. Whiskey smoked meats, numerous new seafood dishes and 12 burger creations (with your choice of 100% beef, salmon or tur-key), including one of Elvis Presley’s favorites, are just a few of the many menu items sure to please visitors of ev-ery age. Water’s Edge is open for breakfast on Saturday and Sunday from 8:00 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. The resort will also feature a Sunday brunch from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. It will be open for dinner Thursday through Saturday evenings from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.

Al is excited to have his par-ents, Earl and Sandy Schmurr, to help at the resort this sum-mer. With many hats to fill at the resort, Al and Lindsay know the extra hands will be very helpful.

The Big Lake State Park Pool plans to open over Memo-rial Day Weekend on Friday, May 27.

Make plans to enjoy sum-mer locally with so many op-tions just around the corner.

In the small town of Mound City, in the northwest corner of Missouri, two people from two different worlds experienced a historically memorable first meeting. Their histories, fused together by an event that happened 65 years ago this week, brought them together.

Eugene Poynter met Abelina Luboa (Kristeen) Smith one day at Tiffany Heights Nursing Home in Mound City, MO, while he was visiting with his wife, Betty, who was temporarily there recovering from surgery. Eu-gene struck up a conversation with Kristeen, an em-ployee there, and asked her where she was from. He was flabbergasted to hear her say, “I’m from Baguio.” The conversation that ensued served to close a chasm that had been open for many years for this young native Philippino woman.

Born in Baguio, a highly urbanized city in northern Luzon in the Philippines, Kristeen Smith had always known her village had been de-stroyed and occupied by the Japanese dur-ing World War II. Pictures and stories sur-rounding those days were only two of the facets by which she had learned of Baguio’s destruction and capture.

During the early part of the second World War, Baguio was the initial bombing target of the Japanese air forces and the city was turned into ruins. When the Japanese Im-perial Army captured Baguio, soldiers con-verted Camp John Hay into their garrison and a part of it was used as a concentration camp.

What Kristeen and many villagers and Baguio residents never quite had a grasp of, however, was how and more specifically who had liberated them from the Japanese.

Eugene Poynter, serving with the K Com-pany, 130th Regiment in the Second Platoon

of the 33rd Division of the U.S. Army, during the Japanese invasion of Baguio at the time, was able to shed some light on the missing pieces for Kristeen.

Eugene’s 130th company arrived in Manila on the fifth of April. Compa-nies members were assigned to move up the Naguilian Road toward Ba-guio around April 21, 1945, to follow the air strikes that the United States used to accomplish its objectives. Their job was to flush out General Yamashita, secure the city and free the President of the Philippines, Manuel Roxas. Those attacks fur-ther devastated the city.

Eugene’s regi-ment fought its way into Baguio, with the final push starting on April 24, 1945, and it was on April 27, according to Eugene, that the city was taken from the Japanese by the 33rd Division and the 37th Division.

Kristeen’s family was from a tribe of people called Igorots, who have villages in the mountains to the north of Baguio. Her father was from the headhunter tribe and her mother from the warrior tribe. Several of Kristeen’s family members were brutally killed in the rice fields when the Japanese attacked.

Dear Editor and Holt County Citizens,

I can't help but get a good feeling inside when I get up in the morning to gray skies, chilly wind and sprinkles and we STILL are able to raise $675 at our Cuts For A Cure fundrais-ing event.

Last Sunday afternoon Karen Cotton, Penny Elifrits and Mar-sha Milne cut hair, Penny did nails and Alli Jo Bungenstock did chair massages. They raised $533. The Homemaker's Club, The Adelphas and The Holiday Club donated wonderful baked goods, which raised $142. Katy Grubb, Kennedy Frederick, Ga-brielle and Gracie Cotton sold pink lemonade and raised $59 towards team fees. We had a great time and it was a little taste of what is yet to come on June 4th!

Our Luminaria promotion, buy 3 for $15, brought a lot of early purchases. This ends on May 1, 2010, so hurry, on May 2nd they will be $10 each again. Remember, we will deco-rate them for you or you may do them yourself. Many people put pictures of those being remem-bered or decorate them with special items such as tractors or birds...use your imagination. "In Memory of..." are for those that have lost their battle with cancer and "In Honor of..." are for those that are fighting and/or have won the battle.

Letter to the EditorI have another reminder,

please bring a canned food item to put in the Luminaria bags. We will donate the canned items to the Food Pantry in care of the Nancy Nauman Memo-rial, Mound City, MO.

Andrea Butrick will be tell-ing her survivor story on May 3, 2010, at 7:00 p.m. at the Squaw Creek Truck Plaza Banquet Room. Please plan to attend this event. She is still celebrat-ing her birthday partly because of fundraising efforts like our Relay For Life of Holt County.

Things are getting exciting! Plans are coming together! June 4th, 2010 at 6 p.m. on the Oregon Square!

Thank you for reading and talk about it with your friends!

Kristeen’s grandmother, now 108, remembers the war and how the highlanders had to flee to caves in order to survive. Kristeen’s mom, just a baby at the time, had been told about a plant that was burned to help keep her quiet so that the Japanese wouldn’t hear her crying.

Because of the devastation and Japanese brutality, goril-la warfare became prevalent among the Philippinos. The gorillas helped the Americans in the fight for freedom from the Japanese.

Eugene recalled being helped by both the gorillas and the Igorot villagers, sit-ing one instance where ten American soldiers, including himself, had the arduous task of carrying an injured com-rade toward the medic area with no real idea of where to go in the mountainous ter-rain. They came across some gorillas who took the injured soldier to get the proper help.

The villagers, in turn, helped the Americans with food when the troops were suffering ill-nesses and were weak from lack of nutrition. They would go into the rice fields at night to get food.

In turn, when Americans received rations, they would share them with the Igorot people. Kristeen said her grandmother still has one of the sardine cans and a can-

teen that was shared with her by American soldiers.

Kristeen was so excited to hear Gene’s stories of his ser-vice in her country during the war. She not only listened to his stories, but took his book, “Gene’s Army Life”, and read the account of his time in the Baguio area.

“I found it so amazing,” re-marked Kristeen. “I had al-ways talked to every veteran I met about where they served in the war, but had never had one reply with ‘Baguio’ before. There is nothing in our his-tory books about the soldiers who were there. It’s all about McArthur.”

Gene said he felt like the Igorots were the only people they could trust. The high-landers were good people and helped them when they need-ed it.

“I can remember capturing three Japanese prisoners and, as they were trying to decide what to do with them, an Igorot, who was a headhunter, came upon them and said he could take care of them,” re-called Gene. “He then took out his bayonet and proceeded to do just that.”

Gene shared in his book about hearing equipment in the city after the surge and finding dozers digging out a deep ditch. He soon found out what was happening with all

the bodies, they were being buried in a mass grave there.

After speaking with Gene, Kristeen discovered the place he described as an area that is now called Session Road. Kristeen never knew that the street she walked on many a time was actually a huge mass grave from World War II.

“We (the highlanders, es-pecially) are still so grate-ful to the American soldiers for what they did to help us during World War II,” stated Kristeen. “They are heroes to us.”

After the liberation of Ba-guio, Kristeen said that U.S. soldiers came back to help re-build the city. Soldiers and en-gineers worked to restore the devastated city. Subsequently, many of the parks, roads, streets and other points of interest throughout the city have American names, a last-ing reminder of the service to the country by America.

Gene just happened to be one of those local ‘heroes’ that Kristeen was so pleased to meet. To have met some-one that was instrumental in helping her people, the Igorots, regain their freedom was so exciting. Kristeen has shared some of her stories with her sister and again with her brother, who both would love to meet Gene in person to hear the stories that so tightly intertwine their pasts together.

Turkey hunters took to the woods on April 19 in most coun-ties during Missouri’s three week spring turkey hunting season. At the end of the first week, hunters in Holt County checked in 149 gobblers, 19 jakes and 1 bearded hen for a first week harvest of 169. Holt County’s harvest is up six birds over last year. Counties around Holt County saw fewer tur-keys bagged. Atchison County checked in 125, down 17; An-drew County checked 154, down 24; and Nodaway County checked 154, down 46 from last year.

Statewide, turkey hunters saw a similar decline. The state wide harvest at the end of the first week was 21,020, down 694 compared to last spring.

“Most of Missouri is seeing the result of poor nesting suc-cess due to heavy rains occur-ring in 2008 and 2009,” said Russ Shifflett, Conservation Agent. “Heavy spring rains washed away turkey nests in much of Missouri the last couple of years, which has com-puted to a lack of one and two

year old gobblers in the woods this year. We’ve fared much bet-ter in the northwest corner of the state,” Shifflett added. “The worst flooding occurred to the south and to the east of us. We have good numbers of turkeys in Holt and Atchison counties,” said Shifflett. “Actually, Holt County was fifth highest this year for checking turkeys out of the 20 counties that make up northwest Missouri,” Shifflett added.

“Hunters are reporting hear-ing lots of gobbling, but they’re also reporting gobblers are with hens for much of the morning causing them to be difficult to call in,” Shifflett stated. “Most successful hunters are bagging their bird right off the bat after the gobbler flies down from the roost or they’re having success after 10 o’clock.” Weather condi-tions were perfect for hunters the first few days. Now cool, rainy weather has set in which will most likely reduce the tur-key harvest over the remainder of the season.

Turkey season continues through May 9.

News from Tiffany Heights Residents enjoyed playing

a round of jingo during the afternoon on Monday. Spring is in the air and it is time for spring cleaning. They played Around the House jingo. All the questions had something to do with things they might find around the house. Win-ners of the games were Abie Knowles, Hope Helfers, Ruth Swymeler and Suedena Burns.

Residents enjoyed making a spring time pin. This month they chose the forever popular bunny. The residents painted small wooden bunnies, added a pink nose, a spring ribbon and of course a big white fluffy tail. Joan Smith and Shirley Jackson assisted the residents with the craft. Shir-ley also treated themselves with homemade breads and jellies.

The Maitland youth group visited on Wednesday eve-ning. They come each month and provide the residents with that personal touch and visit, along with inspirational prayers.

Bingo volunteers on Thurs-day were Shirley Jackson,

Jean McCall, Inez VanOr-man, Gordon Robbins, Gail Twyman, Pat Johns and Lu-cille Stull.

The kindergarten class visited on Friday afternoon. This month they presented the residents with several special songs and everyone got a chick in an egg to color. They also enjoyed cookies and punch with the children.

Larry Brickey and fam-ily provided Sunday morning services. Afternoon worship was conducted by the Church of God.

Eileen Planalp, 84, of Or-egon, MO, passed away Fri-day, April 23, 2010, at the Living Community of St. Jo-seph, MO.

She was born on Janu-ary 20, 1926, and grew up in rural Forbes, MO, and lived in both Forbes and Or-egon. She attended school in Forbes and graduated from Oregon High School in 1943.

Eileen enjoyed collect-ing thimbles and dolls, and loved knitting and sew-ing. She knitted and gave away to family and friends hundreds of pairs of house slippers. She also created dozens of wonderful hand-sewn quilts, some of which were Blue Ribbon winners at the Holt County Autumn Festival.

Eileen was a wonderful cook and baker and her de-licious and artfully-crafted Christmas sugar cookies were shared with not only family, but friends, neigh-bors and members of the Oregon Community.

Eileen was a lifelong resi-dent of Holt County, but moved to the Living Com-munity of St. Joseph in 2007, and made many new friends there.

Eileen spent her life car-ing for others, not only her immediate family, but also dozens of neighborhood kids and also elderly family members and in-laws in her later years.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Low-ell Planalp; father, Dewey McAfee; mother, Marie McA-fee; and brothers, Leon and Cork McAfee.

She is survived by her sister, Delores Brown of Gray, GA; brother, Bob McAfee of Falls City, NE; daughters, Susan Planalp and her husband Richard Weismann of Portland, OR, and Sally Planalp and hus-band George Cheney of Salt Lake City, UT; sons, Donald Planalp and wife Karen of St. Joseph, MO, and Eric Planalp and wife Jennifer of Oregon, MO; and grandchil-dren, Colin, Alex, Hannah and Rexie Planalp.

Mound City Kiwanis Club newsThe Mound City Kiwan-

is Club met at the Unit-ed Methodist Church on Wednesday, April 21, 2010, with 14 members and three guests present- Julie Clod-

The April 13, 2010, a meeting of the Tuesday Club was held at the home of Barb Heitman with 18 members answering the roll call of a Tuesday Club memory. Members present were: Leisa Biermann, Linda Boultinghouse, Linda Creed, Patty Davis, Wava Duncan, Sandra Fuhrman, Kristine Gibson, Barb Heitman, Susan Laukemper, Judith Long, Deb-bie Loucks, Judy McIntire, Jane Meadows, Kasey Miles, Jeanne Moore, Phyllis Parker, Brenda Ryan and Kay Sitherwood.

President Brenda Ryan con-ducted the business meeting.

Patty Davis presented an in-teresting meeting on the ben-efits of eating organic foods. Promotion of organic foods was designed to encourage soil and water conservation. Production of organic foods encourages a number of things, including crop rotation, fewer chemicals, natural fertilizers, beneficial birds and rotational grazing.

For a food to be labeled USDA certified organic, there are very strict guidelines. Do organic foods taste better? Maybe, and they may have a higher nutri-tional value. Cost can be near-ly double the cost of foods not grown organically. It is known, however, that these foods con-tain fewer chemicals and ap-proximately 50% less energy is used to produce them.

Delicious refreshments and a social hour followed.

The next meeting will be the final meeting of the year, April 27, and will be an outing to cel-ebrate 100 years as a club.

Tuesday Club meets

felter, Annette Weeks and Will Johnson.

There was also discussion about the use of the Rodeo Arena for the trap shoot.

Al Schmurr and David King will be judges for schol-arships.

Mound City preschoolers celebrate Earth Day

The Mound City preschool-ers celebrated Earth Day on Thursday, April 22, by plant-ing wild flowers.

The students worked on the playground area to plant wild flowers in individual cups. They plan to monitor the plants and learn how to care for them before they take them home.

The students were excited about the project that would help “make the earth beauti-ful and save the earth”.

In their classroom, the students have focused on recycling and reusing items. They are helping the FCCLA with their paper recycling by taking a plastic bag home to collect used paper or other

recyclables and bring them back to school.

They spent time discuss-ing items that can be recy-cled or reused.

The preschool class is taught by Lisa Caton and Ann Walker.

PatienceBy Ethan Miller

Patience, as defined by Webster’s Dictionary, is the ability to remain calm and to wait for what you want. A person’s character says a lot about their aptitude for success. There are numer-ous traits that determine the ethics of society. How a

person defines these ethics in their own life establishes their own commitment to humanity. Having patience is just one way that we can learn to wait on one another and to allow time to surpass the amount of selfishness that ensues from the antici-pation of what we want.

Squaw Creek National Wildlife Refuge will cele-brate International Migra-tory Bird Day on Saturday, May 1, 2010.

This year, the event will occur on the Refuge Auto Tour Loop, with activities starting at 10:00 a.m. and ending at 5:00 p.m. Even though activities will not begin until 10:00 a.m., the refuge will open at sunrise.

Spring migration is un-derway with shorebirds, such as the sandpipers and plovers, wetland birds, such as the Horned Grebe and Teals, and migratory songbirds including the Common Yellowthroat, American Redstart, and Swainson’s Thrush. The adult Bald Eagles are cur-rently nesting on the west end of the Auto Tour Route and along Mallard Marsh, a pair of Great Horned Owls with two owlets are in an old Eagle’s Nest. Both the eagles and the owls can be viewed easily right from the road. Volunteers and refuge staff members will be avail-able to help visitors find our migrating birds.

Free activities will include booths on bird migration, beaks, wings and talons, as well as activities for young children, including coloring. International Migratory Bird Day buttons, posters and stickers will be free to all visitors, while supplies last. International Migra-tory Bird Day patches will be available as well. All programs and activities are free to the public. Refuge trails and the Auto Tour Loop are open daily from

International Migratory Bird Day to be celebrated at Squaw Creek National Wildlife Refuge

sunrise to sunset.International Migratory

Bird Day 2010 is an annual event in May that focuses attention on one of the most important and spectacular events in the life of a mi-gratory bird – its journey between its winter home in Central and South America and its summer home, right here at Squaw Creek Na-tional Wildlife Refuge to the northern U.S. and Canada. International Migratory Bird Day was created to en-courage individuals, inter-est groups and birders to take action to help conserve birds and their habitats. The International Migra-tory Bird Day event is cel-ebrated in Canada, the U.S., Mexico and Central Amer-ica through bird festivals and bird walks, educational programs and activities. It is the hallmark event of Partners in Flight, an inter-national coalition created in 1990 that includes the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Ser-vice, other federal and state wildlife agencies, conserva-tion groups, academic in-stitutions, corporations and private citizens dedicated to reversing declines in migra-tory bird populations.

Squaw Creek National Wildlife Refuge is located five miles south of Mound City and 30 miles north of St. Joseph, Missouri. Visi-tors can reach the refuge by traveling north from St. Joseph taking Interstate 29 (I-29) to exit 79, then 2-1/2 miles south on highway 159 to the refuge headquarters and Auto Tour Loop.

Confederate Memorial Day ceremonyThe Holt County Historical Society hosted a Confederate Memorial Day ceremony at Mt. Hope Cemetery in Mound

City, MO, on Sunday, April 25.For the third year, weather conditions bordered toward rain, as cool temperatures and wind hindered a larger crowd.The names and ranks of 11 confederate soldiers as well as the names and ranks of nearly 60 union soldiers were read

to honor those buried in the Mt. Hope Cemetery. “These gentlemen who served with honor, dignity and duty” in the Civil War were honored with words, songs, the traditional firing of the 3-volley salute and the playing of Taps.

Civil War reenactors aided the ceremony as well as Story-Hardin American Legion Post members, J.M. Jackson, Gene Moore and Jason Biermann.
