 Presiding judge James M. Stuart Jr., of the Missouri Court of Appeals Western District issued a temporary order granting a stay of execution of the recent Johnson County Circuit Court’s judgment putting C. Kay Dolan back into the county’s auditor position.
Dolan was to have assumed the office March 1, after Judge John R. O’Malley ruled that she had won the election by two votes after a recount.
Teresa A. Collins, who had been sworn into the office after seemingly winning the November 7 election by four votes appealed O’Malley’s decision requesting an emergency motion for a stay last Tuesday.
In the judge’s temporary order granting stay, Dolan was given until close of business Monday, March 5 to file suggestions in relation to whether a stay should be granted pending appeal. The temporary stay is effective through today (Wednesday, March 7).
According to a court representative she has filed suggestions in the matter, but as of Holden Image presstime, no decision had been made by the court to grant a further stay pending the appeal process.
Collins declined to speculate on a timeline of the appeals process, but stated, “Right now, we’re just doing our work one day at a time. I do hope that the appeals court will set a hearing date soon so this situation will be resolved.”
Efforts to contact Dolan were unsuccessful.

Mother Nature unleashed her fury for the third time in less than a month, as a tornado made landfall in this part of Johnson County last Wednesday night.
The twister hit two and one-half miles north of Latour causing damage to two homes and one garage.
According to the director of Johnson County Emergency Management, Karen Eagleson, the home of Robert Baake sustained damage when siding was torn from the residence. Baake reported there was a lot of debris blown into his area from Cass County. The storm destroyed a trailer in Cass County near the intersection of Old Drum Road and the Gunn City Road.
Jim and Helen Nichols, who live near Kingsville, were at home when the tornado struck causing a tree to crash through their roof and into their dining room resulting in a lot of damage. “Insulation is everywhere, there is a gaping hole where the roof split in half,” said Helen Nichols. “We had gone to bed for the evening, but the house seemed hot and muggy so we opened some windows. I had just gotten up to check the weather on television and was headed back to bed when I heard something that sounded like a jet plane coming in for a landing. At the front door, it seemed everything was coming at us at once; hail, rain and wind. Something knocked me to the floor, then the tree hit the house,” she added.
Their home is full of boards, sheetrock and insulation and she said she didn’t think she would ever get it all cleaned up.
The winds were so powerful they completely stripped every branch off of a cedar tree in the Nichols’ front yard.
“The kids who live just west of us lost the roof off of their barn,” said Nichols, referring to the property of Ron and Debbie Woodling. “They also have a lot of trees strewn across their driveway.”
The tornado also did damage to the Nichols’ garage by bowing some walls in the garage.
No one was hurt in the latest round of storms for which everyone is thankful. “It was just an act of God and there’s nothing you can do about it,” added Nichols.
Kingsville School was hosting their district basketball tournament on Wednesday night with approximately 400 patrons attending, according to superintendent Kevin Coleman. “At the end of the third quarter, the firemen came in and thought it would be a good idea to evacuate the gym so everyone went to the elementary hallway until it was clear for them to go home,” said Coleman. Kingsville had to go back and play their final quarter the next night. “I thought the firemen and emergency personnel did a good job with the crowd in getting everyone out of the gym,” remarked Coleman.
As with the last tornado, the Community Activity Center was full with basketball league games and patrons had to be moved to the safety of the restrooms and storage areas.
Eagleson would like to encourage everyone to purchase a NOAA weather radio which carries information directly from the National Weather Service. The radios may be purchased in the Radio Shack section of Walker’s Variety Store in Holden. “This is the third tornado to hit Johnson County in February; this has never happened before.”
Wednesday’s storms brought with it high winds and hail ranging from pea-size to golf ball-size.
Eagleson would also like the public to be aware that on March 13 there will be a state-wide tornado drill. “At 1:30 p.m, it will focus on businesses and schools, and at 6:30 p.m. it will be a home preparedness test,” stated Eagleson.
The National Weather Service will be conducting a severe storm spotting class on March 14 at 7 p.m. at the WC science auditorium. This class is open to the public, according to Eagleson.
“I believe the advance warning we had during this last storm helped everyone be better prepared,” said Eagleson. “For impending storms, I would encourage the public to have their own preparedness plan in place.”
For more information on Wednesday’s storm, go to www.crh.noaa.gov to find track paths and severity of storms.

An employee of Orscheln Farm and Home, Bradley Lambert, was recently honored by the staff of The Holden Image for being named winner of the Customer Service Award.
Lambert was surprised at work by staff members with a plaque and some candy for achieving the honor.
He has worked at Orscheln for approximately three years and enjoys his job and has fun with the people he works with. According to one of Orscheln’s managers, Joey Lysinger, Lambert is sort of a “jack of all trades” at the store. He works in tire repair, stocks, and runs the cash register along with providing customer service.
“Bradley is a good employee and a hard worker. He will try to accomplish any task we give him to do and he is great with the customers. He is a great asset for the store to have,” said Lysinger.
Lambert is a 2004 graduate of Holden High School and currently lives in Oak Grove. His future plans include returning to college and majoring in auto mechanics. He has attended Longview Community College.
His pride and joy is his car and he looks forward to putting it in car shows in the near future, he says. He owns a ZX2 Ford Escort and one of his hobbies is shopping for items for his car. Other hobbies include driving his car, talking on the phone and working on his car.
Lambert is a full time employee of Orscheln and says it is a really fun place to work. One of his favorite memories of the job is having a snowball fight with his co-workers.
The person who nominated Lambert said, “Every time I go into Orscheln, he is always hard at work, but is always willing to stop and assist me. He will help me find things, load my feed in my truck, or whatever I need him to do. He is always pleasant and passionate about his work. He seems to be a very dedicated and hard worker.”
When surprised with the award, Lambert was very excited and said he didn’t realize he could win something like that. “I would like to thank whoever nominated me; this is pretty neat as customer service is our number one goal here,” he said.

Holden area voices were heard last Wednesday as the Missouri State Legislature’s General Laws Committee heard testimony on House Bill No. 578 in its Jefferson City chambers.
The bill, introduced by State Representative David Pearce, seeks to amend the state’s laws relating to sex-offender treatment facilities. It is also co-sponsored by other area legislators Mike McGhee, Shannon Cooper and Brian Yates.
According to Pearce, “I am confident that the committee will vote its approval of the bill and hopefully that will come within the week.”
If passage comes from the committee, the bill will then go to the House floor for debate and a vote.
“Right now, our biggest enemy is time,” explained Representative Pearce. “May 18 is the end of this legislature’s session and there are a lot of bills still to be heard on the floor.”
Those on hand who joined Pearce in testifying before the committee included Kevin Coleman, Kingsville School District Superintendent, Presiding Johnson County Commissioner Bill Brenner, Rachel Martin of the Warrensburg Chamber of Commerce and representatives from the state’s Department of Corrections and Missouri Family Network.
Pearce added that he has had great support from other legislators and e-mails and letters from area citizens who have voiced their general “outrage” of the possibility of a halfway complex for sex-offenders being placed in the Holden area.
Among other items, the bill specifies that “No person shall own or operate a facility for the primary purpose of providing sex offender treatment and living quarters, including temporary residence, for more than one sex-offender who is required to register under sections 589.400 to 589.425.
Pearce concluded by saying that Representative Cooper, who is a member of the General Laws Committee, went above and beyond to show his support as well.

Blood Drive Set For March 20
Last year, 28,000 individuals in this area needed a blood transfusion. This year, the local needs for blood are expected to rise. Community Blood Center, the provider of blood services to local hospitals, will be conducting a blood drive on Tuesday, March 20, in the Community Activity Center to help the local hospital patients in the area who depend on life-saving blood donations.
“When individuals normally think of essential community services, they think about the fire and police departments,” said Dr. Jay Menitove, executive director and medical director with Community Blood Center. “However, because Community Blood Center is here to meet the needs of local patients, we would hope that individuals in our community would consider us to be just as essential.”
Individuals in Holden can help meet the local needs by donating blood at the Community Blood Center blood drive on Tuesday, March 20 from 2-7 p.m. in Holden at the CAC located at 100 S. Market Street. To make an appointment online go to www.esavealifenow.org and use sponsor code holdencomm. Or one may also contact Kathy Denney at 816-850-6820. Just one donation can help as many as two local hospital patients. Community Blood Center must collect at least 580 pints of blood every day to meet the needs of the area.

These horses will be awarded to children who agree to the terms she has set up for adoption of the animals.
A two year adoption can lead to full-time ownership of the horse to the lucky winners of Courtney’s contest. She is asking interested children to write an essay, no more than two pages, double spaced and include: why I want a horse, what I know about horses, what experience I already have with horses (if any), and how I will take care of my horse (diet, exercise, housing, pasture, medical, other).
Children must also have written permission from their parents.
Courtney stresses, “This is a two-year initial adoption that can lead to full-time ownership of the horse with no down payment/no initial fee-however...during the two- year adoption period requirements are: regular veterinary care/vaccinations (verifiable records required), regular farrier care, every six weeks (verifiable records), required training to keep horse manageable, and access to horse at any/all times.”
Training will be for a fee and set out under contract of adoption, she added.
“Interested children should be able to tell me how they are going to feed, vaccinate, exercise and train the animal,” said Courtney.
Essays and permission slips must be submitted no later than March 23, 2009.
Submit written essays and permission slips to Horsin’ Around, c/o Holden Image, P.O. Box 8, Holden, Missouri.

Holden’s Sesquicentennial is fast approaching and Chamber of Commerce President Dennis Mason is asking for help to make it a success. He said, “It can’t be just the Chamber, it has to be the whole community.” The Sesquicentennial will be an April, 2008 event. A calendar using pictures from the history book is planned for the year-long celebration of Holden’s 150th year. Mason is planning on setting a date for discussion at the Hallar building and will make an announcement soon for all who are interested in participating.
For the Whiteman committee report, Bill Dryer noted that for Holden Day at Whiteman, the schools would send ten students, one driver and one teacher. He anticipates a good turnout from the community. He said, “Whiteman is very grateful for everything we do for them.”
In other business, Pat Zvacek of the fair board noted that the fair dates have been changed to September 13, 14, and 15. There will be a new carnival and a Saturday night concert has been added.
Membership committee reported Chamber After Hours will be March 12 at Keller Williams co-hosted by Brillhart Music. The committee has developed five membership levels by looking at past business contributions. The structure has been patterned after the Warrensburg Chamber. These levels include: friends, $75; associate, $175; ambassador, $400; executive, corporate level, $1,000.
Payment plans are available for the ambassador, executive and corporate levels. If total membership is paid by March 9, the reward is entry in a drawing for free chamber merchandise such as a chamber afghan, history book, umbrella and a Christmas ornament. The chamber’s web site can be accessed at www.holdenchamber.org for more detailed information and an application form. Zvacek commented the response from businesses has been positive. The ambassador level is very popular.
Committee members won’t need to be soliciting businesses for donations with this system as they had to do last year because most expenses will be included in the dues.
President Mason also announced that pavers for the downtown park have been ordered and Christmas light removal will begin soon now that the weather is milder.
History book committee members announced there has been an extension of the deadline to purchase a copy of the history book at the $47.50 price. The new deadline is March 17. The books are anticipated to be available in August. Sam Raber commented it is a quality book, hard bound and 360 pages. He noted it will be the largest book done for this size town. “It will make good Christmas presents.” He commented there are stories about everyone “from horse thieves to judges.”
Jo Ann Nolan announced that Saturday, June 2 would be the opening day for the Farmer’s Market. “We will be having a customer appreciation day with contests such as pie eating, hay bale tossing and corn shucking.” She said vendors are lining up such as The Pasta Peddlers and a lady who paints furniture.
The Community Betterment committee is looking into new welcome signs for traffic coming into Holden and they are also working on putting up new directional signs. One member commented, “Our small town big future signs are looking bad.” Mason assured the group the signs would be coming down as soon as decisions were made regarding where to place the new signs. He noted Holden currently pays MoDot a fee for the display of one sign, an expense he wants to avoid for new signage.
The economic development committee is working toward developing a comprehensive plan for the city. Jenny Sollars said, “We’ve been working with Johnson County Economic Development and Tracy Brantner. That is our focus now. The business park is another focus. Butch (Shore) is working on final plats. We meet the third Monday of the month at O and M at 6 pm.” The next meeting is March 19.
The Chamber also discussed moving the annual banquet date from the Monday after Thanksgiving to January. The plan received a positive reception if it is considered for the last half of January.
The next general meeting is scheduled for Thursday April 5.
