Barnard, Kansas is a small but interesting little town. Mostly peaceful, sometimes serene, occasionally scandalous, but never boring.

There are many good things happening around our town and I figured after the last year and a half we have had, it was time for some good news.</p><p>Randy Pickering has been patching the streets. I've seen many areas around town that have been done and he has been out there every chance he gets to work on it. The hot weather has been helping in that project though he says the good hot days are nearing an end for this season. He is trying to beat the end of the heat by getting as much as possible done. Barb said that they are still trying to located grants and funding for more street repair and replacement. The city is also looking to acquire a grapple hook for projects.</p><p>Randy also mentioned that when his contract runs out next, he will be retiring from the sanitation service and selling Ran-Dan. After over 30 years, he says it is time for him to leave that and focus on his fence connector business which does nationwide business.</p><p>Nancy Houghton said that Nancy's Fancies was still doing well and the Wednesday nights were successful. She said as long as people are wanting it, she will continue to do it.</p><p>The sewer lift station is a continuing concern though. The city has been able to keep it going but is looking for funds to replace it. They have applied for grants, but so far have been unsuccessful. They will continue to make this one functional as long as they can.</p><p>I asked the council about rumors of Barnard unincorporating. They were adamant that there were no plans in the foreseeable future for that. They did not regard that as an option at this time. One thing that was pointed out is that everybody that is in Barnard now is here because they want to be here. </p>TAZhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05839848598416587410noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5386268218913825453.post-32504130953773334842020-12-20T08:07:00.000-06:002020-12-20T08:07:12.656-06:00Happy Holidays from Barnard, Kansas<p> This year has been very different from years past.

Thank you for continuing to utilize the Banter even in its dormant stage and I look forward to providing new material for its global audience.TAZhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05839848598416587410noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5386268218913825453.post-75999600680326626762015-08-26T14:57:00.000-05:002015-08-26T14:57:31.846-05:00Remembering Bill Watson by Charlene Watson<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

William George (Bill) Watson <br />
<br />
William George Watson, better known as Bill, was born on February 22, 1934 in Lincoln County Kansas, to Emery H. Watson and Hazel A. (Loy) Watson. He passed away on December 30, 2014, at the Mitchell County Hospital in Beloit, Kansas, after a lengthy illness. <br />
<br />
Bill spent the first five years of his life on a farm west of Barnard, Kansas. He attended Rocky Point Country School, located across the road from his home, for the first year of school. This was during the Kansas Dust Bowl years and was not an easy time for the family.<br />
<br />
In 1939 or 1940 the family moved to a farm northwest of Barnard, where Bill lived for the rest of his life. He attended grade school in Barnard and graduating from Barnard Rural High School with the class of 1952. While in school he participated in baseball, basketball, and football, school plays, and was an active member of the Salt Creek 4-H Club. He became the 4-H Club livestock leader as the years went by and his own children joined the club. Bill had fond memories of walking or riding his horse to school with other kids throughout his freshman year of high school. After graduation Bill enlisted in the U.S. Army Active Reserves in 1953 and was in the QMCUSA through May 31, 1961.<br />

Bill met his future wife at a surprise birthday party at the home of his parents in February 1952. Two years later on June 11, 1954 he married Charlene May Rawlings at the Presbyterian Church in Beloit, Kansas. In his words, she became his wife, his lifetime partner and the love of his life. The couple made their home on the family farm near Barnard where they raised their five children, Vicki, Beverly, Dwight, Jeana and Ginger.<br />
<br />
When he graduated from high school, Bill’s parents gave him three registered Hereford cows and this was the foundation for a lifetime in the registered Hereford business. Seeing that the future of the Hereford breed was in the Polled Hereford segment, Bill and his new bride switched to the Poll’s in 1954-1955 and continued to raise them for the next 60 plus years.<br />
<br />
Bill’s “love for raising and showing cattle” continued throughout his life as he and his family showed in local, state, and national cattle shows all over the country. He also raised Registered Australian Blue Heeler dogs. The Watson’s had an enjoyable life with a host of cattle friends they made throughout the U.S, Canada, Australia, and the world. Bill was proud of being the Lincoln County Wheat King and later named the Outstanding Farmer of Lincoln County. <br />
<br />
Bill was baptized and became a member of the First Baptist Church of Barnard, where he served as a Deacon in later years. He was a member of the Barnard Masonic Lodge, Barnard Chapter 360 Order of the Eastern Star, Barnard Lions Club, and the Lincoln County Hereford Assn. He was a lifetime member of both the American Hereford Assn. and the American Polled Hereford Assn. He served as a director on the Salt Creek Watershed Board for over 30 years and was active in county and state Republican organizations.<br />

Bill enjoyed attending his children and grandchildren’s activities and sporting events over the years. He celebrated his 80th Birthday on February 22, 2014 and the Watson’s celebrated their 60th Wedding Anniversary on June 14, 2014. <br />
<br />
Bill was preceded in death by his parents. Survivors include his wife Charlene of the home, five children: Vicki (Doug) Lebien, Lincoln; Beverly Boling (Rob Daniels), Tulsa, Oklahoma; Dwight (Tracy) Watson, Barnard; Jeana (Mark) Eckhart, Lincoln; and Ginger (Steve) Sedbrook, WaKeeney. Also, seven granddaughters, seven grandsons and six great grandchildren, all of whom he loved dearly.<br />

John Wesley Keith Pepper "Wes", 82 of Redding, California, passed away of heart failure due to complications from surgery, on September 12, 2014, at the Shasta Regional Hospital in Redding. He was born on May 18, 1932 in Lincoln, Kansas to John Prouty and Reita Geraldine (Bishop) Pepper.<br />
<br />
Wes moved around in the earlier years of his life with his family, living for a while in Lingle, Wyoming and in Clorado near Colorado Springs. The family later moved back to the Pepper family farm in Barnard, Kansas and that is where he spent most of his growing up years.<br />
<br />
He lived in and around Barnard, off and on, until he jointed the US Air Force in the fall of 1951. We graduated from Barnard High School in 1950, along with his cousin Lloyd Jackson. Wes was the older sibling of Duane Pepper, Judy Pepper, Frank Pepper, Gene Pepper, and Cheryl Pepper, all of the Barnard area. Wes had many Bishop, Wallace, and Jackson cousins in and around Lincoln County, KS.<br />

Wes served in the Korean War and flew 18 bombing missions over Korea as a right gunner on B-29 bombers. He met and married his wife of 59 years while stationed in Roswell, New Mexico. Wes and Evelyn (Roork) Pepper had three children there before moving to California in 1962.<br />
<br />
Wes worked as a harvester in his teen years in Barnard and traveling up to the Dakotas and down south as well. He also later worked on missile sites and became a building contractor in the San Francisco Bay Area in the late 1960's. Wes built solid homes on strong foundations and Steve Jobs, of Apple fame, lived in one of his houses. It held up nicely in the 1989 San Francisco earthquake and Steve Jobs praised the craftsmanship of John Pepper Properties in the San Francisco Chronicle.<br />
<br />
In the late 1990's, Wes and Evelyn followed their son, John, down to San Jose del Cabo, Mexico and have lived there since. Wes always loved the ocean and enjoyed the beauty and freedom found in that area.<br />
<br />
He leaves behind his wife Evelyn; children Teresa, John, and Terri; twelve grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.<br />

Sometimes life gets in the way and trying to work out the kinks get difficult at times. I have a great deal of information and pictures to catch up on and will try to get it done soon. During the last few months, I have had a change in employment which has resulted in a work schedule that was hard for me to adjust to. Also, I was involved in an auto accident that resulted in a fatality. That has had a severe effect as well.<br />
<br />

<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: red;"> When I read this I couldn't resist sending it in for the Barnard Banter. There are some really good facts in here and also some pretty weird ones. (Especially the no belching because there is no gravity and the nasty mouthwash part.) All in all, I thought there some interesting facts that people (like me) didn't know before. --- Charlene Watson </span></span></div>

The city had advertised for the previous month for interested parties to purchase the building with the city reserving the right to refuse any and all bids. Two bids were received. One bid was for $2500 and was submitted by Gary Segal who was from Hunter. His intention was to run it as a cafe. It would have benefited Barnard by continuing as a restaurant. The other bid was from Barnard city council member, Nancy Houghton, for $3000. Nancy said she was going to use it to house her arts and crafts and possibly her baking. She has no intention of running it as a restaurant. The city went with coucilperson Houghton's bid.<br />
<br />
The cafe had troubles remaining open since Betty Loy closed her cafe, Betty's Place, over a decade ago. Since then, several had tried to run it but those efforts were plagued by arbitrary hours of operation, varying quality of food, and hospitality. A few years ago, angel donors donated money to the city for the purchase and maintenance of the building in hopes that it would continue to be a vibrant part of community life as a restaurant. The last tenant vacated the building about a year ago after being in business a year. During the last part of 2013, a pipe burst causing damage and the city collected $6000 in money from the insurance company for repairs. The city decided to keep the money and place the building up for sale as is leaving the U.S. Postal Service as the only downtown business left in Barnard. The Cargill leased elevator continues to serve coffee and candy for the morning social crowd.TAZhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05839848598416587410noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5386268218913825453.post-15575385973302145262013-12-31T16:15:00.000-06:002013-12-31T16:15:16.018-06:00Barnard City Council Minutes for January, February, and March of 2013I realized I neglected to post the 2013 council minutes.
