The Columbia Board of Realtors says the median home sold price in Boone County in April was about $309,000. The Board of Realtors says the median home price in Columbia was down in April 13 percent to $313,000. Local homebuilder Orie Hemme of Hemme Construction joined host Fred Parry in-studio Saturday morning on 939 the Eagle's “CEO Roundtable” to discuss home prices, inventory and work Hemme is doing in other communities. Mr. Hemme says they just received their first eight building permits for Amberton Place, which will be built next to Valley View Gardens. He tells listeners that Hemme will be building 118 homes near West Gibbs road. “And it's all focused on more affordable, attainable housing. So we call it cottage-style,” Mr. Hemme tells listeners. Hemme Construction is currently building homes in Old Hawthorne and in the Glades, and they've built 135 houses in Nursery Heights. Orie Hemme also says remodeling is getting more popular and is about half of Hemme's business now. He says they have a full remodel division now at Hemme Construction. Orie Hemme grew up in Columbia and was part of the first graduating class at Fr. Tolton high school. He graduated with a business degree from the University of Central Missouri in Warrensburg. The 29-year-old Hemme has worked for his father for about seven years. Mr. Hemme also notes that while Hemme Construction has traditionally been known as homebuilders building custom homes, they also have rental properties.

Columbia-based Shelter Insurance is one of the ten largest employers in Columbia/Boone County, with about 13-hundred employees here and a $98-million payroll at their Columbia headquarters. Shelter Insurance president and chief executive officer Rockne Corbin joined host Fred Parry in-studio for the hour Saturday on 939 the Eagle's “CEO Roundtable” program. Mr. Corbin tells listeners that annual revenues for Shelter, for the entire company, are $3.7 billion. Mr. Parry and Mr. Corbin tackled numerous topics during Saturday's interview, including the numerous tornadoes and storms this spring in Missouri and the Midwest. Mr. Corbin says the hot spots for tornadoes ten years ago would have been Oklahoma, Kansas and Nebraska. He says it's now Missouri, Arkansas and Kentucky. Mr. Corbin grew up in Jefferson City and graduated from JC. He graduated from Central Missouri State in Warrensburg before serving four years in the U-S Army. Mr. Corbin began his career with Shelter as a claims adjuster and climbed many roofs after storms, describing that time as a foundational experience. Shelter opened its doors in 1946 as MFA Mutual Insurance. They now operate in 21 states, have Shelter Life and also own a lot of real estate, including the Gerbes building near their Columbia headquarters. Education, health care and insurance have traditionally been the three main pillars of Columbia's economy. That's still the case in many ways today with Shelter. Mr. Parry and Mr. Corbin also discussed a few lighter subjects like the upcoming Shelter Fountain celebration and the return of the concerts in the gardens. Those concerts ran for 43 seasons until the COVID pandemic. The concerts returned last Sunday after a five-year hiatus:

Allow yourself to softeninto this season of awakeningResist the urge to scurry.Stretch your fingers outto your own life.See what you noticewhen you give yourself time.Quiet now.Let drifts of dreamsappear throughthe mist on the horizon.Greet yourself arrivingat the crossroads.Lean in.Reach out.Listen.Here you are.Our shop update today includes our very special spring pigment—a beautiful lilac with small flowers. We are using this pigment to honor Áine, the Irish Fairy Queen, who is this year's featured goddess at Gaea Goddess Gathering. We do know that she is a summertime goddess, but we felt like this pigment was an excellent match for the spring equinox/Ostara and our month of Persephone as well, so we went forward with it!This week's magic:* 12 minute video: seeking shelter and leaping forwardResource Reminders:* New free series: An Introduction to Goddess Studies * 1. getting started* 2. printable journal* 3. affirmation card set* 4. portable altar space* 5. introduction to thealogy * 6. influential authors in goddess studies (note: publishing tomorrow)* Reminder: March's resources for a Year of Goddess Magic are ready!

I realized recently with a jolt of sudden surprise that I updated the Kindle edition to reflect changed formatting, but had not done the same for the print edition. I'm planning to do a “back to our roots” series this summer about practicing the presence of the goddess using this book for an in-depth dive into creating devotional practices and so I've been reading it to myself again and finding bits and pieces that escaped my notice in prior printings.

I wish I'd never let mine expire!* how nice it is to watch the hawks, listen to the crows, see bluebirds arrive, and discover buds on the lilacs.* bringing income and expenses into better alignment—as you all know, everything seems increasingly expensive and discretionary spending is down and this spells significant challenge to small businesses like ours from two directions at once!* Looking forward to:* more walks in the woods.* big boys being on spring break.* going to Warrensburg for student orientation.* Reading:* to kids: The Five Kingdoms, book one, Sky Raiders.

Prioritize self-care, replenishment, and inner work as necessary foundations for growth and renewal. Release self-imposed anxieties about time and instead embrace the belief that you have all the time you need. Restore a sense of wholeness and integration within yourself, rather than feeling fragmented or incomplete. Allow space for the natural cycles of descent and return, darkness and light, to unfold at their own pace.Affirmations for this week:* I do what I need to do to take care of myself.* I replenish and renew my energy.* I gather my resources around me.* I take care of the details and create a strong foundation.* I liberate myself from self-imposed time anxiety.* I restore myself to wholeness.* I keep my promises to myself.* I have all the time I need.Let us be gentle with ourselvesas we navigate a changing worldand our changing lives.Let us make space for magic,for discovery and delight.Let us make spaceto connect and to reflect,to deepen and renew.Let us claim our own liveswith purpose and determination.We are here to be here.We set ourselves freeto explore.Much love,Molly, Mark, + Family Get full access to Rituals of Returning (from Brigid's Grove) at goddessmagic.substack.com/subscribe

REDI says Shelter has 1,382 employees here. Shelter's new president is a familiar name in mid-Missouri: Rockne Corbin.

The herbicide has been used to kill weeds for about four decades. The litigation has cost the company billions of dollars.The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has said Roundup's primary ingredient, glyphosate, is not likely to cause cancer in humans and that it poses no health risks “when used in accordance with its current label.” But in 2015, the International Agency for Research on Cancer determined glyphosate is “probably carcinogenic to humans.”Missouri House Speaker Plocher, Now Candidate for Secretary of State, Narrows Focushttps://www.stltoday.com/news/local/government-politics/investigation-of-missouri-s-house-speaker-zeroes-in-on-lobbyist-aides-and-advisers/article_f77bc748-f203-11ee-8b90-d33ac8c58ed3.html?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitterAn investigation of the leader of the Missouri House appears to be focused on his efforts to steer an $800,000 state contract to a software vendor.Meeting for the seventh time since launching a probe into House Speaker Dean Plocher, the House Ethics Committee was expected to take closed-door testimony Wednesday from a handful of aides and advisers.If Plocher appears, it would mark his second time before the bipartisan panel, which has hired an investigator to conduct interviews and help prepare a report outlining any findings.Among those on the schedule is Rod Jetton, whom Plocher hired as his chief of staff last year as the scandal was unfolding.

If Archer did give birth, her baby could only be treated with surgeries and lifelong help – pain that Archer was unwilling to put a newborn through. Without those surgeries, which the infant might not survive, Archer's baby would die shortly after birth.But due to Tennessee's near-total abortion ban, Archer could not terminate her pregnancy in her home state and, instead, had to wait more than three weeks for an appointment at an out-of-state abortion clinic.“I don't want to confide in a stranger that I'm having to get an abortion because my baby can't survive outside of my womb and I can't get the care that I need as soon as I need it,” Archer recalled thinking. “Those three weeks were really bizarre, challenging, painful – beyond what it needed to be.”Investigation Into Marion Co.

U.S. Rep. Mark Alford (R-Raymore) represents north Columbia and northern Boone County on Capitol Hill, as well as a large portion of west-central Missouri, including Sedalia and Warrensburg. He joined us live this morning on 939 the Eagle's "Wake Up Mid-Missouri", telling listeners that he supports an impeachment inquiry against President Biden. "USA Today" reports U.S. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-California) plans to endorse an impeachment inquiry. The White House has rejected allegations from some Republicans who allege that Biden benefited from his son Hunter's business dealings. A White House spokesman says House GOP investigations have turned up no evidence of wrongdoing. Congressman Alford welcomes the news about Speaker McCarthy, telling listeners that the American people deserve answers. He emphasizes that Congress must have unredacted records. Congressman Alford also addressed agriculture and Missouri's I-70 expansion on the program. Alford, who serves on the House Agriculture Committee, says the massive Swift Foods plant on Columbia's Route B will help the food corridor that's growing in that area:

On September 1, 2012, a 25-year-old man is gunned down in the driveway of his home in Warrensburg, Missouri. The college town is in a state of disbelief. The successful and beloved small business owner leaves behind devastated family, friends, and the wider college community in a senseless and seemingly random attack. When it's revealed that more than one person is behind the slaying, and the perpetrators' identities are uncovered, the shockwaves continue, as the motive behind the killing emerges. But even after arrests are made, it's far from over, with one of the accused managing to evade justice to this day. In episode 258, Jac and Alexis detail the brutal murder of Blaine Whitworth at the hands of his friends Ziyad Abid and Reginald Singletary, and how the people you have around you can sometimes be more dangerous than strangers.

U.S. Rep. Mark Alford (R-Raymore) serves on the House Agriculture Committee in Washington. His sprawling west-central Missouri district includes Columbia, Sedalia, Warrensburg and Centralia. He's inviting farmers and all residents to an August 14th listening session at the Missouri State Fair in Sedalia. He wants your input on what you want to see in the upcoming federal farm bill. Congressman Alford is inviting U-S Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack to the meeting. He also says House Agriculture Committee chair GT Thompson (R-Pennsylvania) will be attending, as will Missouri Governor Mike Parson, state Department of Agriculture director Chris Chinn and commodity groups like the Missouri Corn Growers Association. Congressman Alford joined us live on 939 the Eagle's "Wake Up Mid-Missouri", saying the current drought is hurting farmers in his district who cannot find food for their cows. He also talked about China, telling listeners that China is not America's friend:

Mike Williams was an avid outdoorsman. So it was no surprise when he headed out early one morning to go duck hunting on Lake Seminole. But it was definitely surprising when Mike wasn't home by noon. So his wife Denise asked her father and a friend to check on him. They spotted Mike's vehicle at a remote boat dock, but couldn't find Mike or his boat anywhere. Searchers eventually discovered Mike's boat, but couldn't find his body. As the search continued, investigators discovered – and ignored – clues that Mike had been the victim of foul play. Then Brandi tells us the story of Jema Donahue. Jema had a protective order against her husband, Javon Donahue, but when she came home one day, she says she found him in her basement brandishing a gun. He attacked her, but Jema fought back. She shot Javon four times. Afterward, Jema called 911. Before she said anything, she hung up. And now for a note about our process. For each episode, Kristin reads a bunch of articles, then spits them back out in her very limited vocabulary. Brandi copies and pastes from the best sources on the web. And sometimes Wikipedia. (No shade, Wikipedia. We love you.) We owe a huge debt of gratitude to the real experts who covered these cases. In this episode, Kristin pulled from: “The voice in the lake” episode of Cold Case Files “Mystery in the swamp,” episode of People Magazine Investigates “Wife who plotted husband's murder with his best friend, then married him, gets life in prison,” by Steve Helling for People.com “Threesome twist revealed during testimony in Denise Williams' murder trial,” by Jackie Salo for the New York Post “‘Snowballed' into murder,” by Karl Etters and Jeff Burlew for the Tallahassee Democrat “Denise Williams, wife convicted in Mike Williams murder, resentenced to 30 years,” by Karl Etters for the Tallahassee Democrat “Florida Supreme Court declines review of Denise Williams Case,” by Christopher Cann for the Tallahassee Democrat “Crusade to conviction,” by Karl Etters and Jennifer Portman for the Tallahassee Democrat “Brian Winchester grilled as Mike Williams' family testifies,” by Karl Etters and Jennifer Portman for the Tallahassee Democrat “Williams murder trial: Denise's fate will be in jury's hands today,” by Karl Etters and Jennifer Portman for the Tallahassee Democrat “Man with ties to cold case in jail on unrelated charges,” by Jennifer Portman for the Tallahassee Democrat In this episode, Brandi pulled from: “A Mother's Love” episode I Am A Killer “Buried body found on rural farm in Warrensburg leads to wife's arrest” by Melissa Greenstein, KSHB 41 News “Two more people charged, additional charges announced against woman who allegedly killed husband” KMBC 9 News “Knob Noster woman who alleged abuse sentenced in husband's death” by Associated Press, Fox 4 News “MARRIAGE ENDS IN MAYHEM Who is Jema Donahue and where is she now?” By Kevin Quinitchett, The Sun “Donahue receives 10-year sentence on manslaughter charge” by Sue Sterling, johnpicerno.com YOU'RE STILL READING?
