will go into effect and Mt. Vernon postal employees will have a break from 12:30-1:30 p.m. Kim Hilton, postal clerk for more than 20 years, said she has doubts on the logistics of closing during lunch. We won’t get the window closed anyway, Hilton said. We can’t just shut it down on customers and tell them to come back in an hour.

Hilton said that for many people, their lunch break is the only time they can run errands. She said that normally, the post lunchtime closure office is extremely busy during the soon-to-be lunch period. Being open for just two hours By Shawnya Wethington on Saturday also adds to the issue, Hilton said. Next month, the US Post “I think it’s going to hurt us,” Office in Mt.

Vernon has had a mid-day break. They tried it once before, years ago, she said. They closed the window during lunch trying to save money. At that time, the window was closed, but the back was still open so postal work could still be done, McCoig Photos by Shawnya Wethington said. T h e Left, a sign in the lobby of the Mt.

last long, however. It wasn’t long before they found the funds to stay open during lunch, she continued. “All we’re doing is driving people to our competition,” McCoig said. Unless they want to make the drive to Aurora, there’s not another mailing option for residents, she said. Although a sign has been posted inside the post office, the two clerks said that many postal customers still aren’t aware of the changes. After people discover the change, Hilton said she’s anticipating several displeased customers. The clerks said they weren’t sure who was responsible for instating the change. “We had nothing to do with it,” said Hilton. To McCoig’s knowledge, she said Mt. Vernon is the only post office in the area that is changing their hours of operation. At first, I thought it was area-wide, she continued, but then none of the other areas have mentioned it or posted notices as far as I know. “It’s a sad thing,” said McCoig. “I hate to see it.” The two are hopeful that the previous hours of operation can be reinstated someday. “I just don’t see where we’re gaining anything,” McCoig said.

Employee leaks information for civil rights, maybe more

☛ A woman crossing Spring River on Hwy. 97 north of Stotts City spotted a couch sitting in the field. Apparently it is a victim of recent flooding on the river.

This week a contracted government employee working for the National Security Agency made the bold move of outing some of the behind-thescenes investigations the agency conducts. Twenty-nine year old Edward Snowden hightailed it to Hong Kong after leaking information that the NSA spies on phone and Internet records of the unsuspecting U.S. public. Statements released from the White House seem to indicate that the public were the only ones not aware of the tracking, as committees

☛ The idea of Father’s Day was conceived slightly more than a century ago by Sonora Dodd of Spokane, Wash., while she listened to a Mother’s Day sermon in 1909. Dodd wanted a special day to honor her father, William Smart, a widowed Civil War veteran who was left to raise his six children on a farm.

from all three branches of the government review the programs and were aware. Although all the information isn’t in, it seems the legalized snooping was, perhaps still is, relegated to phone call histories and durations, more or less. The content was not monitored, which is a little bit of solace. Snowden supposedly made $200,000 per year and lived in Hawaii with his consulting job, all of which he knowingly ended with his leak. He fully expects to be prosecuted also. If he did give up something truly great for our privacy I applaud and thank him. I think we can all agree that terrorists need to be exterminated with

Patriotism

e are in the middle of the “Patriotic Time” of the year. A time when we take a little more time to thank the men and women who have served our country in the FROM THE military. SIDELINE A time when we take a few extra minutes to remember those who gave the ultimate sacrifice to keep America safe and secure. We start with Memorial Day — by Rosemary the last Monday in Henderson May — which is the time we decorate the graves of our military heroes and the graves of our family members. The holiday was first named Decoration Day, but some years ago the name was changed. Civic groups take time to place small flags on the graves of our veterans as a way to help show our gratitude to those who served. Of course, we honor those who were killed while on active duty in the military. But, we don’t want to overlook those who served and came home to live out the rest of their lives. We know now that many of those veterans suffer the rest of their lives because of some of the things they endured or witnessed. In addition to the physical and mental things they endured, they were away from their loved ones for many years. They were away from their jobs

extreme prejudice, but not with extreme compromise. We’ll reach a point where we’re giving up more than we’re getting. We may be there now, in fact. I think it’s too early to tab Snowden a hero, as some are already taking measurements for his crown. I have yet to visit the Fox News website for the issue, nor will I, but I speculate he’s depicted as the second coming of Christ. There are a lot more layers to this onion that could change the complexion of the issue completely. Until then, I’ll hold Snowden in only modest esteem.

FIVE YEARS AGO | JUNE 11, 2008 ❧ Mt. Vernon’s courthouse square puts on its Sunday best — a new road surface. The City of Mt. Vernon was exploring the possibility of continuing the paving project by putting a two-inch overlay on South Landrum street. 10 YEARS AGO | JUNE 11, 2003 ❧ Lawrence County will more than double its number of prisoner beds — from 26 to 54 — when it opens a new block of cells Wednesday. ❧ Mt. Vernon Police are now the boys in blue instead of the boys in brown. They have retired the uniform color that has been a staple for the city police department for decades.

for many years. Some likely never were able to function in their chosen field in the same manner. You know I’m going to bring up Ted Williams. Yes, he still had an excellent baseball career after serving in the military, but what might he have done if he continued to play baseball instead of having to go to war? Friday is Flag Day. Flag Day commemorates the adoption of the flag of the United States. which happened by resolution of the Second Continental Congress in 1777. The United States Army also celebrates its birthday on this date. Flag day is not an official federal holiday. Of course, the “biggie” is Independence Day, July Fourth. We celebrate the holiday with picnics, carnivals, fireworks and baseball games. A bit of July Fourth trivia: both John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, the only signers of the Declaration of Independence later to serve as Presidents of the United States, died on the same day, July 4, 1826, which was the 50th anniversary of the Declaration. Not a signer of the Declaration, but another Founding Father who became president, James Monroe died on July 4, 1831, becoming the third president in a row to die on July 4. Calvin Coolidge, the 30th President was born July 4, 1872. Dig out your flag and show your patriotism during this “Patriotic Time.” Peace.

Lord, make me a channel of thy peace That where there is hatred I may bring love, That where there is wrong I may bring the spirit of forgiveness, That where there is discord I may bring harmony, That where there is error I may bring truth, That where there is doubt I may bring faith, That where there is despair I may bring hope, That where there are shadows I may bring

thy light, That where there is sadness I may bring joy. Lord, grant me that I may seek rather To comfort than to be comforted, To understand than to be understood, To love than to be loved; For it is by giving that one receives; It is by self-forgetting that one is forgiven; It is by dying that one awakens to eternal life. – St. Francis of Assisi

First MU Extension ‘Dairy Field Day” June 20 at MU Southwest Center From MU Extension The first University of Missouri Extension “Dairy Field Day is scheduled for 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m., June 20 at the University of Missouri Southwest Research Center located on Highway H, south of I-44 from the Mount Vernon west exit. The hours of the event are planned with dairyfarm schedules in mind. The program offers sound, research-based farm management practices according to Tony Rickard, an MU Extension dairy specialist located in Barry County. “The information shared at this event applies to conventional or grazing dairies, large or small,” said Rickard. “Topics cover forage, rations, economics and breeding. There will be talks and field tours.” Farmers who have trou-

ble making quality hay in a season of frequent rains can pick up tips on baleage from Rob Kallenbach, MU Extension forage specialist. Baleage, or big-roundbale silage, can be made in a day, compared to several days required for drying hay for baling. Kallenbach has been wrapping bales in plastic to show at the event. “I want producers to smell the difference between well-wrapped bales and those not properly prepared. It was tough, making bad baleage,” said Kallenbach. Rickard will give tips on cutting feed costs. That is important because feed makes up 50 percent of milk production costs. “We’ll focus on feeding the right ingredients at the right time,” said Rickard. “Cutting overfeeding is one way to save expensive nu-

trients.” Joe Horner, dairy economist with the MU Commercial Agriculture Program, will tell four things shared by profitable dairy farms. “Low prices and high costs have hammered dairy farms,” said Horner. “But trends point to increased profits.” Breeding research on synchronized artificial insemination shows good results in the milking herd at the Southwest Center. Some 85 percent conception rates astound dairy producers accustomed to poor AI breeding rates. Scott Poock, DVM with MU Extension, will tell protocols used for success. Getting all cows into milk production at the same time adds to profits. Peak milk production can be matched to peak forage growth. There will be time after

lunch for touring the herd, calf-rearing pens and forage plots. “We’re trying for a good mix of talks and upclose participation,” says Kallenbach. New side-by-side plots will show fescue varieties that carry novel endophytes. Those varieties can replace toxic Kentucky 31 fescue, which proves to make poor dairy forage. The procedure for killing K-31 grass to replant new varieties will be told. New tools for measuring dry-matter content on forage paddocks will be shown. And some big bales will be wrapped, Kallenbach says. The free event will be open to all produc-

ers. Lunch will be served, courtesy of field day sponsors including Schreiber Foods, Main Street Feeds, ADM Alliance Nutrition,

Midwest Dairy Association and Legacy Farm and Lawn. Details are available from Rickard at 417-847-3161 or rickardt@missouri.edu.

News Briefs Ozark Empire Fair hay show entries due July 10 A few farmers have been successful in putting up hay the last few days, but overall, the hay season in southwest Missouri is running late this year. It will be interesting to see what impact unusual weather this spring, including snow in May, had on area hay production said Eldon Cole, a livestock specialist with University of Missouri Extension. “The best way to analyze the weather factor is to test the hay. While you’re testing it you might as well enter it in the Ozark Empire Fair Hay Show,” said Cole. The OEF show is designed to educate hay growers on the merits of testing forages. In addition, marketing of hay can be made easier when test results are known. “Those entering the show have found it aids in the marketing process,” said Cole. Requirements for entering the OEF hay show are as follows: Hay must be harvested in Missouri during 2013; both small, rectangular and large hay packages are accepted; no more than one entry per field per cutting will be accepted; entry deadline is July 10. Entry forms are available at University of Missouri Extension Centers. Forms can also be obtained online at www.ozarkem-

pirefair.com and under the “agriculture” link on the Greene County Extension website at http://extension.missouri.edu/greene. Extension specialists will arrange to collect the samples no later than July 15. An entry fee of $20 per sample is charged. Samples are tested at Custom Laboratory Inc., Golden City. Test results will show crude protein, moisture level, energy expressed as total digestible nutrients (TDN) or net energy. A qualitative test will be run for nitrate. The test will be 60 percent of the final score. The final evaluation of the hay will be done on July 25 at the Ozark Empire Fair. A judge will rate the entries on condition, purity, aroma and color, which makes up 40 percent of the final score. “Consider having your hay sampled and tested. It can save supplement feed dollars and give you a better idea of what supplemental feed to purchase,” said Cole. For more information, contact any of these MU Extension agronomy specialists in southwest Missouri: Tim Schnakenberg in Stone County, (417) 357-6812; Jill Scheidt in Barton County, (417) 6823579; John Hobbs in McDonald County, (417) 2234775 or Brie Menjoulet in Hickory County, (417) 745-6767.

Walk-ins Welcome!

Lawrence County Living! NOW HERE’S A TIP By JoAnn Derson • Family reunions are fun and worthwhile. Being together with many generations is a wonderful experience. Often, these gatherings are highly scheduled, but remember to set aside time -- and a designated place -- to simply sit and talk. Here are some other great family reunion tips from our readers. -JoAnn • When planning a reunion, the young adults really like theme parties, so we always have a mixer theme night to start. Have a scavenger hunt for the children, where they can collect clues about some of the more senior family members. To figure out who it is, the kids can listen to them tell stories and ask questions. • Make sure that you schedule sitters for the little ones so that the adults can relax and participate. Last year, each adult with kids (and some who just wanted to help out) took shifts to be official kid wranglers and entertainers. • If your family has several members with allergy restrictions and alternative food requirements, make sure to write up a list, and make copies of it and pass it along to all your planned food venues. This way, there is advance notice for those who need gluten-free and vegetarian options. (c) 2013 King Features Synd., Inc.

Sertoma Grin Iron/Action a WIN-WIN situation

Mt. Vernon’s Erica Walters earns MVP honors, while two Mt‘neers and four Cardinals get the football win and help provide dental care to area children

by Rodger Wheeler The score was kept when the best of the East and West gathered for the 12th Annual Sertoma Grin Iron Classic football all-star game Friday, June 7, at Parkview High School’s JFK Stadium. That meant the game actually had a

winner and a loser. But when the dust settled, it seemed there were all winners and no losers. The winners on the scoreboard favored Mt. Vernon and Miller’s West team, 21-17, which included Kyle Davidson, Derrick Estell, Dalton Gulick and Jacob Lundquist of Miller and Tyler Richardson and

Shane Williams of Mt. Vernon. But the real winners were the children of southwest Missouri who would receive free dental care from the “Tooth Truck.” Proceeds from the game are given to a mobile dental clinic for at-risk children who have no access to dental care. Since its inception in 2002,

the Tooth Truck has helped more than 14,500 children with dental care and prevention education valued at more than $8.5 million. The West leads the 12-year event 11-1, but never held the lead in this year’s contest until the final 50 seconds of the game, when Webb City’s John Roderique scored to give the

West the final 21-17 margin. In the 2nd Annual Grin Action Volleyball All-Star Tournament held at Parkview High School on Saturday, June 8, Mt. Vernon’s Erica Walters was awarded her team’s Most Valuable Player award. The South squad, coached by Hollister’s Barry Wheeler, won its first match before

falling in the next two and claiming third overall. The two events last season combined to raise $1 million , which provided much-needed dental care to children in Springfield and surrounding communities.

HEALTH INSPECTIONS Lawrence County Health Department has released the following results of food service inspections conducted recently. The health department advises that critical violations are more likely than other violations to contribute to food contamination, illness and/or injury. Non-critical violations, “although important to the overall food hygiene of the establishment,” do not necessarily present an immediate threat. Those with STAR ratings are being recognized for having no critical violations during routine, complaint, pre-opening or change of ownership inspections.

Happy Daddy’s Day

Earl Ree Chastain Nov. 21, 1915 — May 17, 2003

You are missed and loved each and every day. Not a day goes by that we don’t think about you. We love you so very much! -Wilma and Jimmie Fields; Berneice Linder; Pat Chastain and family; Lucille Bowers and family; Bobby Anderson, Jr. and Sandy; Sammy Anderson; Peggy Avalos and family; and Vicki Alexander and family.

I’M GLAD THERE’S A FATHER’S DAY “thou art my son...and I will be to him a Father.” Hebrews 1:5

unday is Father’s Day, so let me wish all dads a HAPPY FATHER’S DAY. One little boy was asked to explain Father’s Day, he said “It’s just like Mother’s Day only you don’t spend as much on the present.” That is a joke of course, but Father’s Day isn’t as big as Mother’s Day. On Mother’s Day, church attendance is higher and businesses do better. The first national celebration of Father’s Day was on June 19, 1924. It all came about because of the efforts of Sonora Smart Dodd. Sonora was sitting in church in 1909 listening to a Mother’s Day sermon. She had been raised by her father after her mother’s death, and she wanted her father to know how special he was to her. Through her efforts, President Coolidge designated the third Sunday of June as Father’s Day. I am glad there is a Father’s Day; it gives us all a chance to honor those who have and are leading their family through life’s battles. There is one thing I can tell you that is as true as you can get, being a good father and husband is the most challenging responsibility you will face. To be a good father, you need a model you can pattern yourself after. So where do you find such a father? Is there such a thing as a perfect father? YES! This being FATHER’S DAY week, let’s see what we can learn about being a father by looking at God who is the perfect Father. 1. First. What we learn about God - He loves His children. There are many scriptures that speak of God’s love for His children. Let’s just look at two: I John 4:19 “We love because He first loved us.” WOW - what a thought; Romans 5:8 “God commendeth his love toward us while we were yet sinners.” God did not wait for us to meet His expectations or to make Him proud. He didn’t wait until we measured up to His standards, He simply loved us in a complete constant unconditional way. 2. Second. God is quick to encourage His children. Throughout scripture God is seen encouraging His children. He encouraged Moses

EDWARD PROFFITT, Th.D From the Pulpit

at the burning bush. He encouraged Joshua in conquest of the Promise Land. God told Joshua “the Lord thy God is with thee whither soever thou goest,” (Joshua 1:9). God saw the things His children could do and He encouraged them to go do it. Sadly, many parents, no matter how dedicated, they are more prone to send messages laced with criticism than encouragement. It is very important for us to watch our words around our children. “Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying,” (Ephesians 4:29). 3. Third. What we learn about God - He disciplines His children. God is a good, loving, perfect father. His intentions and actions are never evil or unloving; still he disciplines His Children. He disciplines because of His goodness and love. “For whom the Lord loveth he correcteth, even as a father the son in whom he delighteth,” (Proverbs 3:12). The man who disciplines his children wisely is reflecting good character. We discipline because we love our children. It teaches them responsibility, that wrong actions have negative consequences. We can do this disciplining in a right way, or in a wrong way. We can create integrity or delusion about God in the home. God loves, encourages and disciplines His children. In our day that takes tough love, but it will pay great dividends. To believers, Paul said “let us not be weary in WELL DOING for in due season we shall reap IF WE FAINT NOT,” (Galatians 6:9). No life invested on the side of right with no fainting can fail, I believe that. Therefore, I will faithfully continue to victory - I WON’T FAINT. Will you? From the Pulpit, P.O.
