Dadeville Baptist Church Honors Veterans Free Thanksgiving Dinner QUESTIONS? Contact Editor Marlene DeClue at 417-637-2712 or greenfieldvedettepublisher@mchsi.com

The Dadeville Baptist Church hosted their Annual Veterans Day Luncheon for veterans and their families on Thurday, November 12, 2015.

A large meal was prepared and served by the ladies of the church.

Over 50 verterans and their families were

present.

The program consisted of a group of 30 kindergarten, first and second grade students who have been taught by their teachers: Amber Vance, Sonja Kiethley, Rachel Witt and Mary Long, concerning the role Veterans play in keeping

our country free.

To show their gratitude and appreciation, each student prepared a “Thank You For Your Service” poster and presented it to each veteran, which not only pleased the child, but the recipient as well.

Also present was

Mrs. Warren (June) Richter from Ash Grove who presented a very interesting experience her husband had concerning his being a World War II prisoner of war who later escaped with the help of a German guard.

Upcoming Event At Stockton Lake

American Bass Anglers Division 126 will hold a tournament on Stockton Lake November 21, 2015.

Launch site is Old State Park. Registration can be done at the ramp the morning of the tournament. Director, Becky Minor, will be at the ramp at 5:30 a.m. There will be a mandatory briefing and partner draw at 6:30 a.m. Launch will follow at 7:00 a.m.

Weigh-in will begin shortly after 3:00 p.m.

"Fall is a favorite time of the year for many of our anglers," reports Minor. "We're expecting 20-30 competitors coming from several states." Finding fish will be a challenge this fall mainly because the weather has been unusually warm and the lake water level has recently gone from several feet high to about normal pool.

Anglers are fishing for cash, prizes and points which qualify them to fish the D126 2Day Championship to be held on Stockton Lake August 27-28,

2016. Points earned in this tournament will count for the 2016 season.

This tournament is a draw format and open to ABA members, and nonboaters boaters, from age 14.

ABA membership is $25/year; tournament entry fee is $70/angler.

Big Bass is a $10 option pot. All fees can be paid at the ramp.

Just Sharin’ from Sharon Baptist With what is the least commercialized of our holidays, Thanksgiving, just a few days ahead, let us give some thought to the giving of thanks.

In a church I served as pastor for nearly a decade, a wise older man in the congregation made this observation to me shortly before a Thanksgiving Day: “Brother Ken, maybe we should have one national “gripe” day, and 364 days of thanksgiving!”

During the middle of our Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln called for a day of humiliation,

fasting, thanksgiving, and prayer. He wrote this: “We have been the recipients of the choicest bounties of heaven;...we have in numbers, grown wealth, and power as no other nation has ever grown. But, we have forgotten God. We...have vainly imagined, in the deceitfulness of our hearts, that all these blessings were produced by some superior wisdom and virtue of our own.”

In truth, if our current president were to make such a proclamation, could he not say exactly the same thing of the United States of America in 2015?

The Apostle Paul

wrote to the church in Corinth, in First Corinthians 4:7, these words to a church that had members who apparently boasted of their spiritual gifts: “For who makes you differ from another? And what do you have that you did not receive? Now, if you did indeed receive it, why do you boast as if you had not received it?”

Have you ever asked yourself that question: “What do I have that I have not received?”

Frankly, I cannot think of one single good thing of which I can truthfully say that I alone can take credit.

I think a good case can be made that ingratitude

is the root of the original sin. Look at what Paul wrote in Romans 1:21: “because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened.”

Is not this descriptive of the thought process that might have gone through the minds of Adam and Eve? Here they were in the middle of a lush garden from which they might partake of anything. They conversed daily with their Creator, dwelling in a perfect environment. But, when told all was for

them to enjoy except the fruit of one tree, what did they do? Instead of thanking God for the incredible bounty He made available to them, they became vain in their thoughts and lustful in their hearts for one more thing.

The next verse in Romans speaks so truly of them, after they partook of that one thing forbidden to them. “Professing to be wise, they became fools.” The great wisdom they obtained was that they were naked!

What unsearchable wisdom have we proud, thankless Americans come up with? I saw a church sign once on which this was displayed:

“Be glad the selfmade man can’t be blamed on God!” When we gather to a family and/or church thanksgiving feast, let us all remember to offer our heartfelt praise to God, from whom all blessings flow, praying that body, soul, and spirit are all enriched through this special time. Then, how about 364 additional days of thanksgiving until the next special day arrives, when we again renew Paul’s counsel: “In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.”

Main Street was priviledged Sunday morning to hear the testimony of Derick Hurt, an honored Veteran of the Iraq War. We want to thank him for sharing with us.

There are a lot of activities at Main Street and you are invited to be a part of them. Team Kids is going well with an average of 85 kids and 20 helpers.. They meet every Tuesday at 3:30. Wednesday nights at 6:00 p.m. we have Youth, RAs, GAs, Mission Friends, Bible Study and prayer concerns.

We have our Christmas Shoeboxes ready to be shipped.

November 22 we will

be doing the “Hanging of the Greens” after evening church services with hot chocolate and cookies for refreshments.

Wednesday mornings at 11:15 we will be at the Dade County Nursing Home for Bible Study.

Everyone welcome.

The choir, led by David Munton, will be doing their Christmas Cantata December 13, at 10:45 a.m.

We will have our Holiday Dinner December 6, after Church Services.

The greatest tragedy of life is not unanswered prayer, but unoffered prayer.

the service. Betty’s devotion reminded that the Lord’s righteousness covers the living saints and when troubles or depression come, He is there so trust Him. Doris Niehoff reminded everyone of the LWML rally on November 7 at Purdy and the ingathering items of paper products and others will go to a needy organization. She passed around a sheet for everyone to sign for hostess for 2016. We were also reminded that we will only serve a drink and cookies or a snack at meetings.

Our circle serves the January meeting and it was discussed among

everyone what we should serve.

December big meeting will be at Eloise Haubein’s home. It is always so festive.

January is our bingo month at Good Shepherd and items could be brought for that and Doris is always in charge of that. She also reported that we served the Von Stroh meal where only 19 were served.

Eloise mentioned that Thrivent will give a stipend for projects which are approved and several were mentioned. She will check into one project.

Since it is difficult for some to get out at night, it was decided that in Feb-

ruary and March we meet in the afternoon and all agreed to try it.

The kitchen table was decorated with fall things as well as pumpkins of different sizes placed in the center of the dining table. The ladies could select from two beautifully decorated cakes, fruit salad, ice cream, cheeses, crackers, nuts and assorted drinks and everyone could sit around the table and a lot of gossiping occurred before departing for home with the storm ceasing.

Everyone enjoyed being together.

Something to Think About

In our consideration of the uniqueness of the USA we covered a handful of attributes. Another aspect of that uniqueness is that we are a Christian nation.

Christians brought the “golden rule,” a true belief in charity, forgiveness, some simple Commandments on how to live in a community and the concept that various religious could live under a secular law. Tales of the Good Samaritan, invest-

ing your talents, and treating folks with respect certainly add to the Christian attributes found in our society.

(The Puritans wrote the Mayflower Compact about how they would rule themselves before they even landed set an example for all).

What else did our Christian founders managed to pass on to us.

One thing nobody seems to remember is their work ethic. There is a

slogan that came out of the northeast, “Idle hands are the devil’s playground.” It is the basis for “the Protestant work ethic.” However, today it’s simply “giterdone.” This attitude and the free market led to folks in the USA finding cheaper, faster and simpler ways of performing the tasks before them.

The Christian fundamentals along with English law helped make the USA considerably differ-

Sunday, I had “church”, at home, watched my favorite pastors on T.V. I must say some I’d rather not listen to. None better than my Pastor Travis.

I was told it was a patriotic Sunday at my church. That I would enjoy. LaRue Lemons continues to celebrate her birthday as many of her family and friends attended church with her.

Friend Rachael sang a solo. Many more birth-

Wednesday, Veterans Day, the annual program was held and presented by high school students and Lockwood American Legion. Oldest veteran there was 98 year old Lawrence Huser. When John was here we always went, now a bit different for me. If here, John would be the next to the oldest, 91.

Watson Named Pennington Seed’s Employee of Month

pecially pleased with the health and insurance benefits provided by the company and the fact that the facility is very near her home, making her drive time minimal.

She was hired as Quality Control and the position extends into multiple areas of Distribution.

Currently, she is busy learning the process of checking orders to make sure everything ordered is included and there are no damages or extra passengers riding in the orders (bugs).

This particular process which includes routes and freight is monitored closely and Tracy re-

ceives a “report card” every week. She’s been at 100% the last three weeks! “Everyone has been great to work with,” said Tracy. “Patty Evermon has explained the Quality Control aspect in Warehouse 10, Robbie Freeze covered Receiving in Warehouse 11, and Angela Freeze has introduced me to her area of HomeDepot.com.” As of yet, Tracy has not worked in the pottery area, but she knows it’s just a matter of time before she will be learning their procedures as well.

Tracy grew up in the Ash Grove and Springfield areas and now resides just five minutes outside of Greenfield with her husband of thirty years, Brian Watson.

They have two boys, Nicholas and Kolton. Nicholas and wife Heather have provided two grandchildren for the couple to spoil and dote on: Addie will be 2 years old in February and Hunter is 4 months old. Kolton is a Junior at Greenfield High School and looking forward to his Senior year.

After graduation, he

plans to attend a trade school, but right now he is playing basketball and will be playing on the basketball team at school.

Deer season is fast approaching and Tracy says all her guys love hunting, fishing, and deer season.

“There’s a lot of talk about deer camp at my house. Deer hunting and camping are a big thing around here.”

Tracy loves yard work, everything from to pulling mowing weeds in the flower beds.

“I guess I just love being outside.” She also enjoys time with her sisters who have a monthly ritual they call Craft Day. “We make all kinds of things and now we’re making plans for a Christmas project.”

Tracy wished to extend her thanks to Robbie Freeze and J.B. King for the recognition and Keith Hankins for selecting her as the new Employee of the Month. “I enjoy working here.

Every employee does their job, and that makes my job easier.”

Congratulations to Tracy and welcome to the Pennington family.

THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK Surround yourself with people who get it.

When I don't want to share snacks with my grandchildren, I tell them it has alcohol in it.

All women are created equal, but the best are born in June.

Diet tip: Your pants never get tighter if you don't wear them.

Sometimes life is about risking everything for a

dream no one can see but you.

I give 100 % at work: Monday 14%, Tuesday 24%, Wednesday 38%, Thursday 18%, Friday 6%.

BEST SIGN OF THE WEEK Our flag does not fly because the wind moves it.

It flies because of the last breath of each solider who died protecting it.

Week Ending 11/6/15 On Friday night, Kim and I attended the visitation of Rodney Lilenkamp. It had been years since we had seen his son, Paul. It was good to see the family that was neighbors for years. Afterward, we headed to the Mexican place to eat supper and visited with Glen and Janie Walters.

Getting an update on Ray McDowell: Improving with baby steps, but continues to need our constant prayers.

We just missed Rex and Brenda Jones. They had taken Peggy Jones and Bill Jones to visitation. There was a big crowd there.

On Saturday, we worked at Kelbey’s and Asa’s house. Quitting time as we had to get ready to go to Betty Vandegrift for supper and all the little trick or treaters. Asa, Kelbey, Stran, Kim, Lesia, Jacob, Abby and Paisley all were there to eat and have fun.

Dustin,

Melinda, Wade and Chloe stopped by. They had supper at the Arcola Christian Church before coming to town. Got lots of good pictures and had lots of good food. Our trick or treaters were much much bigger this year.

I ran back and forth over to Kelbey’s on Sunday doing some work and enjoying my little Stran the Man. Asa has been busy putting in the hardwood floor and doing a knock out job of it. Aunt Tammy and Richard McMasters stop by every day or two to check on Stran and see the progress of the house.

Phillip and Katlyn Schloessor and baby, Clark, brought supper to Kelbey and Asa Bowles on Sunday night. They enjoyed visiting and telling baby stories.

Tracy Watson is the October Employee of the Month at Pennington Seed and was nominated

by Robbie Freeze, Foreman for Warehouse #11, and J.B. King, Operations Manager in Distribution.

Freeze and King wrote in their nomination of Tracy: She is a great worker and very willing to learn any and everything to help anyone out. She fills in where needed and has helped out in HomeDepot.com and Receiving, while at the same time, learning all of her duties as Quality Control. She is here every day early and ready to work.

There has been a big improvement in accuracy since Tracy has taken over the Quality Control job. She is as asset to our group, making sure we are shipping what we should be shipping and learning different jobs, so she can be back-up when needed.

ACLU of Missouri Statement Hill Versus City of Bolivar Thursday, November 12, 2015, the ACLU of Missouri announced that Hill v. City of Bolivar, Missouri, its lawsuit challenging the town’s restrictions on panhandling and peddling, was voluntarily dismissed as part of a settlement.

Last month, the City repealed its restrictions on begging and solicitation as part of the settlement.

“We are pleased that Bolivar recognized the problems with its speech restrictions that were

pointed out in our lawsuit,” said Tony Rothert, legal director of the ACLU of Missouri.

“Cities considering laws that regulate expressive activities should pause to make sure that their rules are necessary and narrowly tailored to promote some government interest weighty enough to outweigh the First Amendment rights of residents. Generally, the government should be in the business of promoting speech, not restricting it.”

On Monday, I took off and took Kelbey and Stran to the doctor and spent the day with them.

I got to eat some of the wonderful pecan dessert that Katelyn has brought.

Got to get that recipe. We had a great day and that poor Stran just gets loved to death by his MiMi. Glad to hear that the Everton Carnvial was a big success. A lot of work goes into that behind the scene and everyone gets involved. Parents, students, teachers. It’s an all hands on deck to pull this off.

What a great service that Liberty Baptist Church is doing, a free chili lunch on November 14 for the local deer hunters. Pastor Rick is really getting the church out into the community

and that is really great.

On Wednesday night, Suzanne Steeley and myself took supper to Earl and Patty Killingsworth and enjoyed visiting with them and getting a tour of their house. We were there when it was only studs. We had a great visit, but had to leave so we could see baby Stran before he went to sleep and Suzie wanted to see the house. They were putting in her kitchen cabinets. They are putting some of the floor covering down on 11.9. It is coming together.

On Friday night, I attended the visitation of cousin, Pamela Reich Forrest. She had lost her battle with cancer. She was the daughter of the late Madeline Vandegrift-Reich. Our deepest sympathy to all the family.

Ray McDowell and his family are in our

daily prayers. Praying for his strength to continue to recovery. With his family by his side cheering him on. It is so hard that they are not closer, but they are where they need to be and God is watching over them.

On Friday night, Fred and Ruby Taylor had some supper guests from the church. They were Pastor Rick and Tracy Sharp, Nathan and Sherry Long and neighbor, Betty Vandegrift.

They had quite the time.

Mom was still laughing about the evening.

To all that have lost loved ones. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. The young man from Greenfield, what a tragic incident. Our hearts goes out to this family. To others, we pray that you get the comfort you need to get you through.

I have to tell the story about Arvilla’s dad, Croal Coy. The McDonald kids tell how moving from the city of Chicago their dad bought a goat from Mr. Coy for the kids and for milk, etc. and learn to be farm kids.

That goat ate their mother’s roses and other flowers, climbed up on the roof of their home and cellar. Every time their mother complained, he just laughed.

One day after buying a new car, they were eating dinner and their mother started laughing.

Their dad ”Mac” looked out the window and that goat was on his car. He was mad but couldn’t kill it. He took the goat back to Croal who didn’t want it either but agreed to take it off his hands for ten dollars. Mac paid the ten and went home even madder.

We need to send prayers to Kay and Carl Singer who lost their son, Kevin, this week after years of illness. Kevin loved the music that was at Singerhill every 2nd Tuesday.

God Bless America and keep your colors high. Thanks Mr. Potts.

MDC: Firearms Deer Season Opening Weekend Harvest 97,000+

Preliminary data from the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) shows that deer hunters in Missouri harvested 97,171 deer during the opening weekend of the November portion of fall firearms deer season, November 14 and 15. Of the 97,171 deer harvested, 53,359 were antlered

bucks, 10,320 were button bucks, and 33,492 were does.

Top harvest counties for opening weekend were Texas County with 2,184 deer checked, Howell County with 1,959 and Franklin County with 1,899.

Last year, hunters checked 91,460 deer dur-

ing the opening weekend of the 2014 November Portion of Firearms Deer Season.

The November portion of the fall firearms deer season continues through November 24.

Archery deer hunting opens again from November 25 through January 15, 2016. The firearms

antlerless portion will run November 25 through December 6. The firearms alternative methods portion will run December 19-29 followed by the firearms late youth portion January 2-3, 2016.

Missouri's early youth weekend ran October 31 and November 1. The firearms deer urban zone

portion ran October 9 – 12.

Missouri offers some of the best deer hunting in the country and deer hunting is an important part of many Missourians' lives and family traditions. Deer hunting is also an important economic driver in Missouri and gives a $1 billion an-

I want to congratulate Matt Carmichael & Chailsee Boxberger on the arrival of a son, Gabriel. He arrived at 2:55 AM on November 9th, tipping the scales at 8 lb 5 oz. He will joyfully be welcomed home by big sis, Isabella.

Last Monday and Tuesday night, Rick & I went into Springfield to watch grandson, Skyler Baker, play for the Baptist Bible College Patriots. They lost both games but Skyler scored 23 points on Monday night and only 8 Tuesday night. I ran into Hunter Montez who has been going there but is transferring to MSU at the semester. That would have been neat to watch a hometown boy play on Skyler’s team.

I want to extend sympathy to all those who have lost loved ones.

Was sorry to see in the paper where Max Orr, 71, of Mt. Vernon had passed away. He was the husband of the late

Kalia "Hembree" who just passed away July 1, 2015. He was a 1962 graduate of Miller H.S. He will be sadly missed by his devoted daughter, Michelle Cloud and his only son, Randy, along with 6 grandchildren that he loved and many other family & friends. His funeral service was held Thursday and burial was at the Miller Memorial Gardens Cemetery.

Also, Juanita Hurd, 87, of Greenfield passed away November 10. Her devoted sister, Susie Whitaker of So Greenfield, who helped care for her the last several months, will dearly miss her along with her other 6 sisters & 5 brothers. She was a wonderful aunt to all her nieces and nephews since her only child died at a young age. She thought of them all has her very own and was a great inspiration to them. Graveside services were held on November 13th with burial at the Greene Lawn Cemetery in Walnut Grove.

Was sorry to hear Jean Jones, 89, passed away Saturday morning.

She leaves behind her devoted daughters,

Suzanne Jones & Shirley Wilmoth and her only son, Steve Jones, along with 5 grandchildren, 8 great-grandchildren and 1 great-great-grandchild.

She will be dearly missed by all those who knew her, especially her best friend & sister by choice, Anita Baldwin.

Carolyn Fa Myers got word this week that her brother-in-law passed away. This was her sister’s, Libby "Miller, husband who lived down by St. Louis. Libby was a 1962 GHS graduate.

I extend sympathy to all those who have lost loved ones.

The Greenfield H.S. Class of 2005 had their 10 year reunion over the weekend at the Boathouse with a good turn out. Out of 26 seniors, there was 19 who attended the gathering of lots of stories & picture taking. A good time was had by all.

Congratulations to the Aurora Hown Dogs who advanced to the Class 3 Semifinals in football by beating out Mountain Grove 14-12.

Proud Grandma Jackie Montgomery and Aunt Beth Killingsworth, along with a host of other

family & friends, were their to cheer the Hown Dogs on at their own field. They will now host Odessa on November 21st at 1:00. I'm sure proud Grandma Stachia Ferguson was there cheering on her grandson, Skylar Cahill, too.

Tracy Lasater & her family took in Chicago over the weekend and had a blast.

Blain & Gena Hargis made a trip to Alabama to visit their son, Chase & Lexi Hargis. They made it to the beach & took some really good pictures. I'm sure Gena was a happy mom to see her baby!

I saw & heard lots of happy hunting stories over the weekend.

Sounds like the opening of deer season was very successful for a lot of people.

Rick & I enjoyed some of Mom's home cooking Sunday and Rick can't turn down her fried apple pies.

Then, Harvey Campbell, Asa Bowles and Logan & Rick got our calves up and took to market. They will do it again Monday morning for Mom. It's that busy time of year with every-

local economies.

Babette Terhune had some outpatient surgery on her shin and it seems to be doing much better the 2nd time around. Babette & daughter, Mallory & kids, went to St. Louis over the weekend to spend some time with her daughter, Angie Brown, who is progressing nicely.

Ann Sedge had some major surgery this past week and we need to keep her in our prayers.

Winton Hargis had a little set back this week when he came down with pneumonia. They got it very early so we are hoping he bounces back quickly.

Macky McDowell is still in CV-ICU in Kansas City and continues to fight fluid on his lungs.

They are working with physical therapy to get him stronger. The main focus now is to strengthen his core which when stronger, will allow him to stand.

Wishing them all a speedy recovery.

Freed-Hardeman University Theatre’s Homecoming musical, “Carousel,” opened Thursday, November 12, at 7 p.m. in Loyd Auditorium. Performances were also set for Saturday, November 14, at 2 and 7 p.m.

The production featured the talents of Brandon England as Billy Bigelow and Tansy Matheny as Julie Jordan; both actors live in Henderson.

Also starring in the musical are Abby Lambert from Humboldt as Carrie Pipperidge; Parker Pearce from Greenfield, Missouri, as Enoch Snow; Carson Barker from Eustis, Florida as Jigger Craigin; Amanda Baugh from Franklin as Nettie Fowler and Amanda Menter from Hollister, Missouri, as Mrs. Mullin.

“Carousel” was the second musical written

by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II. Rodgers would later call “Carousel” his favorite musical. Time magazine named it the best musical of the 20th century.

Set in 19th century Maine, “Carousel” tells the story of Billy Bigelow and Julie Jordan. After the two fall in love and marry, Bigelow attempts robbery, even if it involves murder, to provide

for his wife and unborn child. After losing his life, Bigelow has one chance to redeem himself in hopes of entering heaven.

The show included the well-known songs "If I Loved You," "June Is Bustin' Out All Over" and "You'll Never Walk Alone."

Today is November 13, which is also Friday the 13th. I don’t expect anything bad to happen today. With all the bad things happening in our country and around the world, we need to expect something good to happen for a change.

We are all on the down hill run toward the holidays. Where did the year go? Seems like we just had Thanksgiving and Christmas!

Also, it seems like we just paid taxes. Most of our taxes go for school tax. Very high.

I guess the four days a week school days at Miller is working. I haven’t heard any negative thoughts about it.

My son, Steve, who works there likes it, as well as his two sons who are students there.

I say if our workforce could only work four days a week, with the same pay, we would have a happier and less stressful people who

would do a better job at work.

I especially feel sorry for mothers who have to work to pay for their needs. It’s so not fair to children to be dragged out of bed early to be taken to a daycare or baby sitter to be with them longer than their parents.

I don’t feel sorry for mothers whose husbands make enough money to pay for their needs, but they prefer someone else to care for the kids so they can spend a lot on money for what they want. I’ve actually heard a mother say, “I would work than take care of my kids.” How sad is that!

God is going to judge us for everything. What we say, what we wear, what we eat and drink, how we spend our time and our money and how we treat our spouse and family. The scriptures say our homes need to be “Holy.” Are families hav-

ing time to do that, or do they even think about it.

We didn’t teach our kids enough of the scripture. I know that now and I have repented for it.

So much of America has turned away from God and the commandments. That’s pretty evident when you watch the news every day and there is violence everywhere.

Drugs and liquor are killing people and also the love of families. Why do people who use it want to alter their thinking like that? Do not take it once and you will not have the addiction.

Now they are calling cell phones and computers addiction. I can see that by looking around and see people looking at their cell phones. Every day this is bad stuff happening. If my husband were still alive he would say, I told you so! He didn’t like them.

The new thing I heard recently that is bad is

called Ramsonware. You probably have heard about it, knocking everything off the computer and I believe they want money to put it back on.

Satan is having his day!!

I didn’t intend to write all of this, but I believe a lot of people are aware of what’s happened in our world today, and we should be making our lives better.

We need to work toward Zion.

With Thanksgiving just around the corner, we still have a lot to be thankful for, so I hope you have a good meal, with your family or friends and be happy.

I want to say “Happy Anniversary” to my friends, Willard and Lorine Backs of Lockwood, who recently celebrated their 60th Anniversary. Many more friends! It must of been true love!!

Week ending 11.13.15 On Friday night, Kim attended a coon hunt held at the Greenfield Fox Hunt grounds. He was home by midnight.

That’s early.

It was youth deer season and Wade and Chloe got to go with parents, Dustin and Melinda Jones. Always a funny tale is told. Wade didn’t get to kill one, so he told Kim he should have went with him. He killed one last year with PaPa, and he didn’t forget.

Gun season is here and we won’t see much of the guys.

Cousin Denny Jones is to be with us over the weekend. We always look forward to him coming and visiting.

Saturday, Jacob, Abby and Paisley came for breakfast and we got to visit. Paisley may only be 4 months, but she has decided naps are not for her, but come evening

she is a bear. Oh, the fun times of babies and toddlers. Just love them to death and send them home and let the parents deal with it as we had to years ago.

Afterward, we loaded up and headed to Kelbey’s and Asa’s house to work. Jacob is stilling working over there, also.

On Saturday afternoon, Kim and I enjoyed the fish fry at the Ash Grove Sunshine Center.

We went home and called it a night. On Sunday evening, we did some work at our house after leaving Kelbey.

Back over there on Sunday. Been cleaning up all the mess, sweeping and getting ready for floor covering and getting ready to start putting up some trim. The cabinets are in and look beautiful.

They are getting so excited to move in. Of

course with all the baby stuff and things for the house, they are busting at the seams right now.

Their dogs, Shep and Lefty, love the new house as they are see inside and watch them. Asa has been working so hard on the house, he is sick of it, but will love it when it is done and he can sit down and rest for awhile.

Kelbey’s mind is going 90 to nothing, thinking of all the things she wants to do. I get that warm and fuzzy feeling that some how I will get to help. I will be dragging my sewing machines over there and making things. May have to trade out work for supper by that time, since she will have that nice new kitchen that needs to be used.

Mr. and Mrs. Eric Allison brought Kelbey and Asa supper and visited recently. All their friends

have new babies, all with 4-5 months. They will have so much fun.

Kelbey Bowles and Stran and Jaime Knight and Brooklynn visited in the home of Julie Wilson one day last week. Julie will be watching these precious little jewels when their mommies goes back to work.

On Wednesday, great grandma, Betty Vandegrift and Lucille Franklin went to visit Kelbey and baby Stran. Mom is enjoying loving on him while he can’t fight back.

I went over that evening to see him as it had been 2 days since I had seen him. I just love being able to love them and then leave them for their parents to deal with. The benefit of being a grandparent.

Betty Vandegrift and Lucille Franklin attended the funeral of Pamela Forrest on Saturday and

Trudell News

by Blanche Trudell The Trudell farm has been busy this week. Jim Wiss and Luke Wiss met here to go and make sure their deer stands were up and standing where they wanted. Jim made a new one for himself, and Carol, Jim, Luke and Joe moved the one that I usually use for Carol to use this year.

Thad and Butch Burrows were out at the farm sighting in their guns, cutting wood for winter, for their fireplaces, and checking on or moving their stands. Tom Burrows’s family are coming to celebrate the deer hunt that their father, Tom, enjoyed here for over 15 years. He would come from New York to hunt with his brothers and nephews, but this will be the first time for his sons and daughters to come during deer season, Diane, Tom’s wife, is already here in Springfield with her brothers and sister. The family will stay with LaVonne or Joan Gentry, in Springfield and the guys are staying in the big family tent at the farm for the hunt. I hope they all have a great time.

I usually cook for the family, but after my affair with my heart they have told me they will bring all their food and fix it so I am just taking it easy. I am really not up to the task. I have had a couple of times with some chest pain after I have gotten home from the hospital, but it’s not easy for me to just sit around and do nothing.

The wind was bad here the past few days, but it is better today.

I was really sorry to hear about the teenager who had the wreck, then committed suicide. I will be glad to work with the youth in anything I can to help.

Joe took Charles Edwards to the doctor again this week. He isn’t doing too good either. We all need to work together and help each other.

Let us remember to PRAY for all those who are sick, those who have lost loved ones, those serving our country, those who are in the hospital or nursing homes and those who have lost loved ones.

God Bless America.

then enjoyed the fish fry later. Afterward, they attended the singing at the Senior Center in Greenfield. These ladies have wheels and they do travel. That is so great.

On Wednesday, mom’s neighbors, Fred and Ruby Taylor and her sister, Lora, came to mom’s house and raked all her leaves. Mom came out and helped them.

What a great bunch of neighbors.

Abby and Paisley Jones are putting daddy Jacob in shopping training. He was off Wednesday for Veterans Day and they were in Springfield shopping. I don’t think he has adopted the motto shop til you drop yet.

Kim went and helped Dustin on Wednesday do some carpentery things around the house.

Asa, Kelbey and Stran joined us for supper on Wednesday night.

Deepest sympathy to the Judd family in their tragic loss of their son.

Our hearts ache for them and our prayers are with them.

Remember November 22 as there will be a celebration in honor of Billy Jones who will turn 70 on the 18 of November. It will be held at the Everton Community Building from 2-4.

Thanks to Angela and Josh Starky and friends for honoring Bill. Wild as ever at 70.

Lucille Franklin and Betty Vandegrift were out running around on Friday. Mom had a dentist appointment and who know where else they ended up. Two lucky ladies.

Cousin Denny Jones will be here Friday night for deer season. We always look forward to get to see and visit over the weekend with him.

tees have always played a vital role in local agricultural decisions. They are essential to the daily operation of nearly 2,200 offices across the country. It is a valued partnership that helps us better understand the needs of the farmers and ranchers we serve.”

Nearly 7,700 FSA County Committee members serve FSA offices nationwide. Each committee has three to 11 elected members who serve three-year terms of office.

One-third of county committee seats are up for election each year.

County committee members apply their knowledge and judgment to help FSA make important

decisions on its commodity support programs; conservation programs; indemnity and disaster emergency programs; programs and eligibility.

Producers must participate or cooperate in an FSA program to be eligible to vote in the county committee election. Approximately 1.9 million producers are currently eligible to vote. Farmers and ranchers who supervise and conduct the farming operations of an entire farm, but are not of legal voting age, also may be eligible to vote.

Farmers and ranchers will begin receiving their ballots the week of Nov. 9.

Ballots include the names of candidates running for

the local committee election. FSA has modified the ballot, making it more easily identifiable and less likely to be overlooked. Voters who do not receive ballots in the coming week can pick one up at their local FSA office. Ballots returned by mail must be postmarked no later than Dec. 7, 2015.

Newly elected committee members and their alternates will take office Jan. 1, 2016.

For more information, visit the FSA website at www.fsa.usda.gov/ elections. You may also contact your local USDA Service Center or FSA office.

Visit http://offices.usda.gov to find an FSA office near you.

perennial and biennial forage acres, such as pasture acreage intended for haying or grazing, must be reported to FSA by the Nov. 15th deadline. All fall-seeded small grain acreage, such as winter wheat, barley and oats, must be reported by Dec. 15th .

FSA changed crop acreage reporting dates as

the result of a combined effort of FSA and the Risk Management Agency (RMA) to make acreage reporting easier and standardized for crop insurance and FSA purposes.

All acreage must be reported for a farm, including crops on non-cropland, such as hayed or grazed grassland and other cover

crops. Reporting acreage ensures producers are compliant with current and future FSA farm programs, including disaster assistance.

To make an appointment to report your crop and forage acreage, contact the Dade County FSA Office at (417) 637-5991 or online at visit www.fsa.usda.gov.
