State Farm Student Athlete of the week Rich Hill Junior Clare Klinksick
We are thrilled to announce this week’s State Farm student athlete of the week junior, Clare Klinksick from Rich Hill.
Clare was nominated by her coach Brian Thomas. Coach Thomas stated “Clare basically plays all positions for us. In the Appleton City Tournament she averaged 13 points, 10 rebounds, and 2 assists.
Clare is playing this season with an injured knee. She is always hustling and is a very coachable player.” We asked Clare to describe in her own words what it takes to become a leader and an elite athlete on your team.
She stated “you have to know your players and have trust in your team.” When we asked her how she becomes a better player each day she stated “you have to have a good mindset and try not to get frustrated”. Clare is unsure of her plans after she graduates as she is only a junior but she is considering looking into going to college to be physical therapist.

Clare is unsure of her plans after she graduates as she is only a junior but she is considering looking into going to college to be physical therapist.
Her favorite thing about playing basketball are the relationships she has built and playing with teammates. She stated “one of the things she has learned from playing basketball that she can apply later on in life is how to become a good leader and how to be able to read people better.” It was a pleasure meeting Clare and we wish her and the lady tigers the best of luck tonight agains Adrian.

Obituary - Robert “Bobby” James Giacone
Bobby’s wishes were to be cremated. No public services are planned at this time. Inurnment at a later date, Oak Hill Cemetery, Butler. Arrangements, Schowengerdt Funeral Chapel (660-679-6555) Butler, Missouri. Online condolences www.schowengerdtchapel.com.
Bobby, one of four children, was a lifelong resident of Butler. He graduated from Butler High School in 1973. In his early years, he worked for the Lens Plant in Butler until its closing in 1979. Bobby then worked as a machine operator for Thorco Manufacturing and Mr. Longarm, both in Butler.
Bobby was likable but sometimes moody. His enjoyments included judging bbq, vegetable gardening and spending time with his nephews and nieces. He always liked hanging out with “Zellmer” and Junior. You could see them most of the time sitting on the driveway, shooting the breeze, and sometimes even enjoying a cold beverage. Bobby could always count on Diane for a ride or just an ear to listen. He always loved when Sara would bring him food to eat. On the holidays at Francie and Larry’s he always brought his own containers to take home extras. Bobby loved to eat. Bobby would always call Francie after he had talked to his brother, Johnny. He would say “Have you talked to your brother?” Then he would say “I’ve been on the phone with him for over an hour! Boy, can he talk!” Bobby enjoyed helping Rufus and Zellmer get the garden ready, and later enjoyed the profits. Always proud and would show and share what they had grown. He will miss and be missed by all of his friends at “The Alley.”
Bobby is survived by his brother, John Giacone and wife Joyce of Belton, Missouri; one sister, Francie Scott and husband Larry of Butler, Missouri; and nephews and nieces. He was preceded in death by his parents; one brother, Vincent Giacone; and a nephew, Chad Scott.
