Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!

 

You did it! Thanks to all the individuals and businesses that helped make the Town-to-Village Community Project a reality. More information will follow when we find how and where the money was used to provide clean water to a village in need. A special thank you to Carpenter’s Cup, KMOE Radio, and Max Motors. -submitted

Editor’s note- The Town to Village Community Water Well Project is about providing a well for clean drinking water for a village in need, as it can be a costly endeavor. It may be a lot for one person but can be done much easier as a community effort. We would like to thank Debbie Norman for spearheading the project and congratulate all involved in exceeding the $10,000 goal. 

Papinville Harmony Mission Tour News

We would like to let everyone know about our Harmony Mission Tour that was held on April 30, 2022. All of the activities began at 10:00 am and continued throughout mid-afternoon. Two trips were taken to the Harmony Mission site one at 10:00 am and one at 1:00 pm.

Both tours were given the history of the mission and various points were pointed out to the people and questions were answered by Phyllis Stewart. Jerry Stangel, owner of the property, was also present to answer questions. A special thanks goes out to Jerry for letting us travel to this historic property. While on the property those on the tour were able to eat a sack lunch on the mission site.

Upon return to the museum the people were able to enjoy brownies, cookies and ice-cream while they met Asenath Barrows, wife of Freeman Barrows (aka Beverly Sullins). She told of her life in early Bates County and the Papinville area. All left having had a great time and learned many things about the history of the area and its people.

Two special presentations were made in the museum between the two tours. Catharine Stangel was honored for her many years of living in this area and the years of help she has given to the Papinville organization. Harmony Mission was honored for being established 200 years ago. Mrs. Stangel accepted her award and Phyllis Stewart accepted the Harmony Mission award. The framed Missouri proclamations from the state were presented by State Representative Patricia Pike.

The association would like to thank everyone who attended this event and all those who helped it be such a great success. Special thanks to Rock Marquardt, Dave and John Stewart for driving the tractors and trailers and the Stangel’s for furnishing the hay for the trailers. Our next event will be our Annual Papinville Picnic on September 24 th . Our little town will be celebrating a special birthday so you won’t want to miss it.

What’s Up by LeRoy Cook

Repairs are underway... 

Some excellent flying weather brought out a good assortment of visitors and local flyers last week, before the runway was closed for crack-sealing repairs. It has to be done, if the asphalt pavement is to last for as long as possible. Moisture seeping down into the substrate can cause breakup, especially if it’s let go until winter, when freezing takes place. The inconvenience of shutting down all traffic will be quickly forgotten, if it doesn’t last too long. Some planes relocated to Harrisonville for the duration.

Butler’s lighted airport beacon is hopefully glowing again, by the time you read this. The replacement was supposed to be en route and ready to mount. It’s been over two years since the rotating beams were seen, so it’ll be good to have it welcoming night visitors once more.

Among the noticed in-and-outs were, once again, Dr. Ed and his blue-gold Piper Archer from New Century, along with a Cessna Skyhawk, a Cessna Turbo Centurion, a Cessna 150 and a Beech Bonanza E35. Rich Bullock was down from Grain Valley in his nice 1976 Skyhawk, and Pat Swoboda came by with his red Piper J-3. A turbine-AirTractor was in over the weekend applying fertilizer to sodden fields around the area. Attempts to arrange continued access for nurse trucks continues, we hear.

Hereabouts, Eric Eastland was up in his Cessna Skyhawk, as well as his Cessna 150 trainers, and Jon Laughlin took a 150 to Chanute and Joplin. Les Gorden gave dual instruction to his grandson in a Cessna 150 and Dennis Jacobs was up in the Cessna Skyhawk. The SkyDive KC Beech King Air E90 turboprop was kept busy hauling skydivers up to 15,000 feet. 

We were saddened to hear of the loss of another U.S. Marine Osprey V44 tilt-rotor transport in California last Wednesday, killing five Marines. The Osprey’s are extremely complex machines, capable of taking off and landing like a helicopter and then tilting the twin rotors horizontally to transition into high-speed airplane mode. There’s a lot of computer-driven machinery going around inside that wing. We pray that they can pin-point the cause of the crash so it can be fixed in the remaining fleet.

The weekly question was, “why do Navy aircraft carriers usually turn into the wind to launch and retrieve aircraft?” Our resident Swabbie, Rodney Rom, spent his Navy years aboard carriers, so he correctly responded “to increase wing lift so the airplane can fly easier.” With the carrier’s 30 knots coming down the deck added to the prevailing wind, that launched bird is gonna fly. For next time, we’ll like to know “what is the Powder Puff Derby, scheduled to be held June 21-24?” Send replies to kochhaus1@gmail.com.
