challenge of living peacefully amongst
10Wners and non-dog owners has been at the
of the list lately. We have had three
of dogs biting children. Let's go over
again: If you live in the city limits, you
to have your dog licensed, vaccinated, and
your control at all times. We know that
dogs are amazing at finding ways out of
Yards, but some people just let their ani-
run, (you know who you are!)
YOur dog is loose, the police will pick it up. It
go into our kennel for five days, unless it is
(and just because it isn't vicious to you
mean it doesn't try to bite the officer
it), then it goes to Sullivan animal facil-
ity.
If your dog bites someone, it has to be quaran-
tined for 10 days, unless you can prove it is cur-
rent on its shots. If we have to hold your dog, you
will be charged for the each day. It would be eas-
ier for everyone if you just kept your dog con-
fined, and get it fixed!
Now cats are another story. We don't license
cats. We don't pick cats up. (Ever try to catch a
wild cat?) If we do get hold of one, we have
nowhere to keep it. The council is looking at an
ordinance to limit the number of pets a house-
hold can have to five, to encourage people to not
fall into the 37 cats and counting trap. We ask
everyone to be responsible pet owners.
Every day someone is complaining to me about
the tree removal Crawford Electric is doing. If
you do not want them to cut your tree down, call
them and talk to them about it. They have the
right to trim any limbs interfering with their
lines, but they do not have the right to remove a
tree without your permission. This is a co-op,
you are an owner and have a board of directors
elected by you. Call them up and let them know
how you feel about this issue. They are respon-
sible for the way their sub-contractor is han-
dling the job.
Don't forget Friday night is May Day--a long
time tradition is our community. The third
graders will be winding the maypole and the
junior class girls will get all prettied up. I won-
der how many of the May Queens are still here
in Bourbon. Wouldn't it be fun to get them all
together?
The American Legion is joining with the
Boosters to dedicate a memorial to World War II
veterans during Appreciation Days, May 22. The
Boosters are putting a flagpole by the welcome
sign, (with the kind help of Paul Springer), and
the new little Mr. and Miss Bourbon will place a
wreath on it.
Darrell Bosse will be honored this month by
the St. Louis Boy Scout Council with the Silver
Beaver Award. This award is well deserved by
Darrell, who has given so much of himself to the
youth of our community.

Didja Know
By Alice Bremer
Didja Know we have had our
first taste of spring lettuce
from one of our local garden-
ers? Paul Chappell brought
down a little bucketful the last
week in April. We always
appreciate the "vegetable gifts"
from our friends.
Didja Know last Monday we
watched as a young man took
pictures of our historic water
tower, and then again as he
came downtown to take pic-
tures of the mural on the wall
at the drug store? He told us he
was Will Clayton from
Bloomington, Indiana and that
he attends Indiana University.
He is taking a "Formal Camera
Class" and was gathering pho-
tos for his final project. He was
fascinated by our old tower and
the beautiful mural.
Didja Know Ruth Simpson
has a new grandson? She and
daughter Sandy and grand-
daughter, Amber, along with
Carl Strosnider went to
Roachdale, Indiana to get
acquainted with little Jacob
Edward, newborn son of Jim
Bob and Barbie Simpson.
Didja Know Ruthene and
Larry Kitchen are the proud
w
great-grandparents of baby
Arieana Danielle Kitchen? She
was born on April 17 weighing
seven pounds and 10 ounces.
Her happy parents are Aaron
and Heather Kitchen and
equally proud paternal grand-
parents are Ken and Edna
Kitchen. (Sorry, we didn't learn
about other grandparents.)
Didja Know Leek Avin Nye
and his grandson and friend,
Robin L. Garza from Rogers,
Arkansas were in Bourbon last
week visiting relatives? Leck
told us his great-grandfather
was Forrest Nye and his par-
ents were Howard Ott Nye and
Mollie Joan Giles. They were
looking for information about
the family tree and enjoyed vis-
iting Robert Nye and Roy and
Alice and Coan while here. He
also has a son, Tyler, in St..
Louis and a daughter, Gina
Lynn.
Didja Know the American
Legion and Auxiliary of
Bourbon are looking for the
names of Bourbon-area veter-
ans of World War II? They will
honor them at the Memorial
Dedication on May 22 during
the Appreciation Day festivi-
ties at Town and Country
Plaza. Call Earl Simmerly at
732-5170 or Larry or Ruthene
Kitchen at 732-4406. Leave a
message giving the veteran's
name. (Look for-articles about
this for the next couple of
weeks.)
Didja Know we enjoyed a
lovely dinner on Saturday in
honor of Jiggs and Lorena
Wissman's 65th Anniversary?
Many of their relatives anti
friends gathered to congratu-
late them and enjoy the after-
noon at Open House at the
Concordia Fellowship Hall
with them. Although it rained
. hard the whole time, it did not
dampen the spirits of the
crowd.
Didja Know we then enjoyed
another delicious dinner on
Sunday in honor of Brianna
Peterson, daughter of Diane
Peterson, who was confirmed
at Concordia Lutheran in the
morning service? Her party
was held at the home of her
grandparents, Mr. and Mrs.
John Peterson. (So much for
South Beach and Dr. Atkins--
maybe we will make a fresh
start Monday!)
American Legion Auxiliary Unit 81 News
The American Legion
Auxiliary Unit 81 of Bourbon
met at the Community Center
on April 27. Following the
prayer and the Pledge of
Allegiance, President Carolyn
Isgr!ggs conducted the busi-
ness meeting.
During the evening, the
Poppy Posters that were made
by the Bourbon High School
Art Class were judged and first
prize went to Miryha Hartung,
second to Trinity Nash and
third to Adam Nowack. Their
instructor is Val McEuen.
Poppy Days will be held in
Bourbon during the
Appreciation Days week, and
the ladies hope everyone in
Bourbon will give generously to
wear the symbol of honor for
our veterans.
Two junior girls will be
attending Girls State this
June, Samantha Miller and
Jessica Rosemann. The
Auxiliary Unit sponsors the
girls and they will be invited to
a special tea on May 16 at
Mansfield, Missouri to learn
more about the week at Girls
State.
The ladies made final plans
for the Memorial Dedication
Prayer Breakfast for the World
War II Veterans to be held on
Appreciation Day, May 22.
They also made plans for help-
ing the Legion with their bar-
becue that same: day. It is a
busy time for them, and they
will appreciate help from all of
their members who are able to
be at both of these events.
The next Bingo Party for the
veterans at St. James Soldiers
Home will be on May 20, and
members who will be able to go
and help are urged to call
Carolyn Isgriggs at 732-4338.
The residents certainly appre-
ciate these parties, and look
forward to the ladies from
Bourbon as they always bring
special treats and prizes for
them.
The ladies will be having a
"Grab Bag" for children at
Appreciation Day with all
funds raised going to the
Childrens' Miracle Network.
The Legion and Auxiliary
across the country will be col-
lecting for the :hildren in vari-
ous ways as part of the

Physician Spotlight
Jose Remo, MD, internal medicine, has always
been interested in science, but that,s not the
only reason he decided to become a physician.
"I am a very social person, and I believe practicing
the art of healing is the most rewarding benefit of
being a physician," Dr. Remo says.
After 13 years of practicing that art at Missouri
Baptist Hospital-Sullivan, Dr. Remo says that the
friendliness of the community and relationships
he has established with his patients continue re
sustain him.
We at Missouri Baptist Hospital-Sullivan thank
Dr. Jose Remo for his dedication to his profession
and his commitment to caring for the people and
communities we serve.
