Future Of Everton Schools Will Be Decided Tuesday, April 7, 2015

By Bob Jackson

Voters in the Everton R-3 School District will vote on Tuesday, April 7, 2015, on a 55 cent property and personal property tax increase to renovate school buildings in the district.

It is the third attempt to pass a bond measure and allow debt to finance the renovation.

In April of 2013, the measure lost: 136 no votes to 124 yes votes and in November 2014, the proposition had more votes but again failed: 182 yes votes and 192 votes for a 48% yes margin.

To pass the measure next week it will take a 57.1 % margin to pass.

The cost to renovate the old high school building that was constructed in the 1940s and 1950s is estimated to cost $855,000.

Project renovation includes window replacement, electrical work, drop ceilings, new roofs on both the high school and elementary school and new HVAC systems for both buildings.

Current operating funds cannot fund the major work required to fix the buildings. The Everton district does not have enough valuation to build a new high school.

If passed, the property tax in the Everton district would be $5.04 which includes a 4.35 operating levy 55 cents debt service to pay off bonds and 14.9 cents for

The committee for Fix Our School, Everton, spoke to interested individuals about passing the bond issue on the April 7th ballot.

participation in Ozarks Technical College in Springfield where Everton students go to votech.

In Dade County, levy amounts are Greenfield $3.43, Lockwood $3.46 and Dadeville $4.42.

In 2014, Dadeville voters approved a $1.00 increase in property tax to fund new classrooms and renovation of the gymnasium. The measure was approved by 85% of voters.

The 55 cents property and personal property (i.e. trucks, cars, tractors, trailers) will be on owner’s tax bill for 20 years.

The school is working with an energy consulting firm who will guarantee energy savings from the improvements estimated to be $ 14,000 a year.

A citzens group has been formed to support

the issue named Fix Our School. They have filed information with the Missouri Ethics Commission and have raised funds and spent funds on a mailing and signs in the district.

Committee members are Mary Odabasi, treasurer; members are Vincent Crunk, Bus Bryant, Dianne Brewer, Dana Drier, Kylee Wilson and Dr. Karl Janson.

A community meeting and free meal was held on March 26, 2015, to inform voters on the issue.

Patrons asked questions on the issue. Two options not discussed or brought up include Missouri House Bill 1292 introduced by State representative Kurt Bahr, St. Charles, Missouri, that would require all Missouri schools to have at least 350 students in grades kindergarten thru

Everton. Two posts were up in each district and only two candidates filed.

A look at some of the ballot issues is below.

Greenfield City Council race: North ward, Vicki Lollar, incumbent vs Ann Hembree; south ward Cora Beth Wright incumbent vs Kirk Main, two year term.

Lockwood mayor: Larry Allen, Wyvette Wilkinson; East ward Krista Rader vs Homer Ellis.

Everton School bond issue for $880,000 / 55 cent property tax increase, needs a 57.1% to pass. See article on bond issue.

Townships: No candiates have filed for township offices in Washington and North Morgan townships. Write in candidates will win posts.

Cedar Township voters are asked to renew 13 cent property tax and Pilgrim Township voters asked to renew 23 cent

the 12th grade to be funded by the State of Missouri. This measure would affect over 100 school districts in the state.

The other option some Everton taxpayers have proposed is to go to a kindergarten thru 8th grade school system like Avilla in Jasper County and Westview in Newton

County. High school students grades 9-12 could then choose to go to Dadeville, Walnut Grove, Miller, Greenfield or Ash Grove.

Voters with questions and who need more info can contact Dr. Karl Janson at the Everton Schools 417-535-2221 or email kjanson@evertontigers.org.

Local Election Tuesday April 7, 2015

Polls open at 6:00 a.m. and close at 7:00 p.m.

Check the legal publication in this week’s Vedette on your voting place.

There are no school board races in Greenfield, Dadeville, Lockwood or

property tax for roads.

In Ash Grove, 4 candidates are running for two spots for the Ash Grove school board in a hotly contested race after a school audit and hiring of new superindent. Ash Grove city voters will be voting on city council spots.

Your vote is important as in the past five years some candidates in local races for city council and school board have won by less than 5 votes.

Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another-- and all the more as you see the Day approaching.”

Vote For The Future Of Everton Kids

QUESTIONS? Contact Editor Marlene DeClue at 417-637-2712 or greenfieldvedettepublisher@mchsi.com

Letter to Editor:

Dear Editor, Many may not know me as I am new to the area, but I want to thank all of you for making us feel welcome in the community since August.

I have come to care a lot about many of you and your kids. I have met many through TeamKIDS here at Liberty Baptist where I serve as Pastor, several at ball games and some just around town.

One thing I have come to realize is every kid & youth in this community are worth more than gold.

I have moved here from up north and witnessed a community similar to this one fail to financially support their school and watched it close.

Those children from that school now get bused

or drive several miles to other schools to try to fit in. Those kids, as hard as they try just don't ever quite fit in because they are the "other" kids from the "other" town.

I see Everton as my home now and I pray the community will support their children and help them have a school that they can be proud of.

If this school does not do these improvements now, it is just a matter of a few short years before it is unmaintainable.

The Everton community deserves this improvement.

YOU deserve this improvement.

It is nobody's fault that will be voting that the school is in the shape it is. It is not the current board's fault, it is the fault of "time" and nothing

else.

Sure, some better decisions long ago and more would have money helped but that is behind us now.

However, what is before us is HOPE, hope in a bright future. It will cost us, everything does. But what kind of price will we put on our kids future.

These improvements will help your kids to learn better, learn more, concentrate more.

This community is in an area that does not have a ton of attractions at the time being to bring new families into it, therefore we must take care of what we do have that attracts.

If we are faithful with little then much will be given. I can only imagine the smiles and the happiness of the children on the morning of April 8th

when they hear the issue PASSED and they have hope for next year. excitement The through the summer of seeing new classrooms and school improvements when they return.

But I can also imagine the disappointment the same children will have if they find out the voters once again told them they didn't think they were worth another $55, $110 or so per year. 15 cents a day, $5 per month.....

I think your kids are worth it. I think the kids who are not even born yet deserve it. I ask that you search your hearts when it comes time to vote.

Please, do NOT stay home and expect others to vote for you. Your vote counts. Your vote is for the future, Your vote is more than money. Your

vote is a vote of confidence in your kids and the future.

Let's give Everton a boost that it has not had for a long time. It could be the start of bringing this town back to life.

I have confidence in you; let's not let the children down.

Thank you to all of the school board members for your hard work, thank you to Dr, Karl Janson and to all the hard working teachers at Everton.

I pray for great days to come for this community! I urge you to support Proposition 1 on April 7th.

Thanks, Pastor Rick Sharp Everton, Missouri

During the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s, many Dade County residents worked at the hospital in various jobs.

Community Good Friday Service To Be Held The Greenfield Area Ministerial Alliance will be hosting a Community Good Friday Service at Arcola Christian Church, Arcola, MO. The service begins at 7:00 p.m. and will be the

biggest thing in town!

There will be good singing and the guest speaker will bring a timely message. The speaker is a mystery.

The Alliance would like to ask everyone at-

tending to bring a canned good for a food drive for OACAC if possible.

Come out and enjoy an evening of inspiration and fellowship.

Happenings at Main Street Baptist Main Street Congregation gathered at 9:30 for Sunday School, we then adjourned to the sanctuary at 10:30 for Worship Services. The choir and praise team led us in singing “What a Mighty God We Serve,” along with other hymns.

Rodney’s message was on “Do Your Job Well, Not God’s Job Well” from Timothy 2:1419.

The issue is, if I do well I will do it a lot, if I do it poorly I will get fired. There is a market for bad teaching, people saying wonderful, when we should be thinking Heretic.

Here are some exhortations of what it means to be an approved workman.

1. Remind people of familiar truths.

2. avoid destructive debates.

3. Shameproof your own work. Do we bury

our shame? Are we living up to the investment others and this church have made in you? To shameproof your conduct, confess and repent before you are confronted and reproved.

4. Handle the word truth.

5. Avoid Godless chatter.

6. Accept that God is ultimately in charge.

Deal with doing our job.

This Point reminds us that the Lord knows who are really his. We must be reminded that God is in charge even in the face of great difficulty.

At the end of the day I want to have done my job well, I do not want to do God’s job well.

The “Focus on Missions” went well on Sunday night. Everyone enjoyed the spaghetti supper and the dessert auction. There was a large sum of money made from the dessert

auction to go to Mississippi River Ministry. We then went into the sanctuary for the Missions report.

Ben Keathley reported on RA boys, Sarah Moller and Nikki Pickett spoke about GA girls. Ron Buzbee spoke about our food pantry which is very active and also the Ozark Food Harvest that comes once a month to our church. Stefanie Hurt talked about a project called “Care to Learn.” Scott Daniel gave a report on his and Chase’s recent mission trip to Jamaica. Jim Albers talked about an upcoming mission trip to Red Oak, Iowa, which some of our members will take part in. There will be a fish fry April 24 at 6:00 p.m. at the Lake Chapel which is another one of our missions.

How many times is “Glory” mentioned in the scriptures? (376)

Baptist Hopewell Church invites you to our special Easter Morning Services at 7:00 a.m. We will have singing followed by a message at 8:00 a.m. We will have a pot luck breakfast at 9:00 a.m. sunday School.

We will have a Worship Service at 10:00 a.m. and end the morning with an Easter Egg Hunt for the children. There will be special music by our children’s ministry.

All are welcome to come and spend a morn-

ing filled with joy.

We are located on the Dade and Lawrence County line at Farm Roads 2000 and 1217.

Did Jesus Really Rise Again?

7

QUESTIONS? Contact Editor Marlene DeClue at 417-637-2712 or greenfieldvedettepublisher@mchsi.com

Ask The Pastor:

By Pastor Brian Bach First Baptist Church of Greenfield 417-637-5121 fbcgreenfieldmo.com

Or is it just a legend passed down through the years that only Christians believe in?

I believe without a shadow of a doubt Jesus rose again bodily from the tomb proving He was God in the flesh, the Son of God come down to earth to redeem sinful man.

Jesus’ resurrection is the greatest proof of his Deity.

However, some will deny his resurrection by claiming it to be a myth.

Their claims are based upon several false statements that we will examine in a moment.

In reality, a person’s denial of Jesus’ resurrection is a rejection of God and His existence. It is rebellion against God, so that a person can live their lives without boundaries or accountability.

Notice with me some of the false claims regarding Jesus’ resurrection and the truth that counters these claims.

1. Jesus didn’t really die. He swooned or faked his death. In Matthew 27:23-38, we have a description of the brutality that Christ faced.

Jesus experienced a scourging before he was crucified. History tells us that a Roman scourging was extremely brutal.

Jewish law determined an individual could only

receive a maximum of 40 lashes.

Jesus, however, was under jurisdiction of the Roman law and there was no limit to the number of whippings. He received far beyond 40 lashes. The soldiers who these administered scourgings would use a braided whip of leather with thongs attached to the end.

This contained metal balls interwoven, along with pieces of sharp bone and glass. These thongs would latch on to the victim’s back and then wrap around their rib cage.

Often the back would be so shredded that part of the spine was exposed.

After the scourging, it was not uncommon for a man to die. But Jesus was still alive after his scourging, and the Roman soldiers proceeded to crucify him.

The process of crucifixion involved his hands being laid in an outstretched position on a horizontal beam on the ground. Nails (spikes) were driven through the wrists, not the palms so his hands wouldn’t rip, and he then later fall off the cross. The wrist was considered part of the hand in the language of that day.

At this point Jesus was hoisted onto a vertical stake (already in place) and one final nail was driven through his feet. Victims sat on a peg astride which supported the main weight of the body.

Once a person was in

Trudell News

Well, another week has passed and I guess I missed getting the news out last week. Guess what? I don’t remember what it is I wrote so I guess we will just do this week’s news, as it has been a very busy week.

Last Saturday, Joe and I went to Independence at Hardy’s on 291, where we met the old book man and got some books that I had ordered.

He sent me the wrong ones last week, but they were good for class at church. I just kept them and bought the ones I ordered the week before.

Then, we went to Liberty, Missouri., to the Walmart on 152 Hwy and I-35, where we met our son, Ed Wiss and waited to meet Jennifer and her family, my granddaughter and 3 of my great granddaughters: Elyssa, Izabella and Gabriella MacCormack. Elyssa and Izabella went home with Grandpa Wiss, and Gabriella (Gabby) came home with great grandpa and me.

This week is their spring break. Gabby went to Sunday school and church with us at Stock-

the vertical position death came slowly by asphyxiation.

With the body stretched out, the pressure placed the body into an inhaled position.

In order to exhale the individual pushed up on his feet so the tension was relieved. In doing so the nail tore through the foot causing it to lock up against the bone. This process would go on until the person wouldn’t be able to breathe anymore.

Eventually this would cause Jesus to die from cardiac arrest—too much carbon dioxide in the blood. So, is it possible Jesus actually got up and walked out of the tomb?—that He wasn’t dead, that he swooned his death? Is that possible in the slightest degree? Not at all!

How would he have survived burial in a damp tomb without food and water or attention of any kind? How would he have survived being wrapped in 75 pounds of spice filled grave clothes as John 19 tells us?

How would he have had enough strength to pull himself from the grave clothes, push away the heavy stone, overcome the guards and walk miles on feet that had been pierced with spikes?

How would he have had the strength to present himself as a glorious God to be worshipped?

These things would have been impossible for Him to do in his weakened condition, had he

not first tasted literal death for every man and then rose again conquering the power of death.

Jesus was truly dead, he didn’t just wake up and vanish from the tomb. John 19:30 says, “When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.”

The phrase “It is finished” literally meant ‘paid in full’. The sacrifice was and is complete.

Redemption from sin for all mankind has been provided through the death of Jesus Christ.

Hebrews 2:9 says “But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.” R omans 5:10 “For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.”

Christ’s death was necessary so that you and I can have eternal life. Notice with me a few other false statements.

False statement #2.

Scoffers will say, the disciples stole the body.

In Matthew 28:11-15, the religious leaders said the disciples stole the body while they were asleep.

If they were asleep, how would they have known it was the disciples that supposedly stole the body? Also, every one of the disciples

Easter Egg Hunt

There will be an Easter Egg Hunt at the Greenfield City Park on Saturday, April 4th, starting at 1:00 p.m.

ton, and then we came home and played some games.

Gabby enjoyed helping grandpa do a bunch of work outside. She even helped him load some iron onto the trailer and take it to the salvage yard.

Tuesday was Gabby’s 19th birthday, and she enjoyed a birthday party with her 2nd cousins, Carol and Allen Odell.

We had spaghetti and meatballs, and Ice Cream and cake. We played dominoes, between all the birthday calls from her family.

Gabby helped me make cookies, watched movies, feed and pet the

cows, watch the baby calf, Rosie. Then play with our dogs, Turnip and Molly.

Gabby will be going home Friday and we are going to miss her and all of her jokes.

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

Have a wonderful year! And God Bless America!

faced torture. People do not die for what they know is a lie; the lie being that they stole the body and made it look like he rose again.

False statement #3.

The women who discovered the empty tomb went to the wrong tomb.

If they had gone to the wrong tomb, why didn’t the high priests and other enemies of faith go to the right tomb and produce the body?

This was a private burial ground anyway—no other tombs were around to create this mistake.

False statement #4.

Jesus was not seen after his death. There were numerous eyewitness accounts of Christ being seen alive after his death.

In fact in I Corinthians 15:4-7, over 500 people saw Jesus after he rose again.

Jesus did die and rise again. Jesus is truly God. He is the Savior of the world. Is He your Savior?

Has there been a definite time in your life that you remember trusting Jesus Christ alone as your Savior from the penalty of your sin?

What you do with Jesus Christ will determine whether you have eternal life.

What you do with Jesus will determine

whether you will go to heaven or hell when you die.

John 3:18 tells us, “He that believeth on him hath everlasting life, but he that believeth not is condemned already because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.” Will you choose believe that Jesus died and rose again? That He is God? And, will you choose to depend totally upon Jesus Christ as your personal Savior?

Your eternal destiny hinges upon it.

Make this Easter the greatest ever and discover the hope found in Jesus Christ.

We would love to have you join us for our Easter Service and upcoming Spring Revival with the D’Andrea family, April 5-8.

Service times for Easter and the revival are as follows: 9:30 a.m. Sunday School, 10:30 a.m. morning worship, 5 p.m.

Just Sharin’ from Sharon Baptist

QUESTIONS? Contact Editor Marlene DeClue at 417-637-2712 or greenfieldvedettepublisher@mchsi.com

By Ken Roller, Pastor Sharon Baptist Church Highway 160, 5 miles east of Greenfield

Most of you will read this around Good Friday, just prior to Easter Sunday.

If it is Friday, that darkest of days when most believe that Jesus was crucified, among the names associated with His death is that of Judas Iscariot, the traitor.

Have you ever personally known any man with that name? I have not, although my grandpa did have a mule named "Jude", which is a shortened form of "Judas".

Yet, in Biblical times this was a fairly common name for Jewish males, since Judas means "praise". Parents who welcomed a son would often offer thanks to God by naming him Judas, as their praise to the Lord for the child.

How sad that a good name was perverted by this traitor? The slide into evil by this man who was treasurer for the band of 12 apostles of Jesus seems to come to the point of no return when we read, in the gospel of John, in verse 30 of chapter 13 it is written of Judas: "Having received the piece of bread, he then went out immediately. And it was night." There came that fatal moment when he left Jesus and the other apostles, and went out into the night which ultimately swallowed him.

AND IT WAS NIGHT Apostles shook their heads in disbelief... to hear that one of them would sell-out Him! Could all the stir have caused His mind to snap?

This thought only magnified their grief.

Unseen, except by Christ, one slipped away.

Judas went out, and it was night.

He clutched his treasurer's bag while licking wine that wet his thin mustache now touched by gray.

Perdition's son then sped his cursed course to trade his name for silver from the priests.

While Jesus prayed in His accustomed place, the priests and troops went after Him in force.

But how could they be Many of our churches in that area work together sure they would not miss their prey in such a to provide ministries, and evangelize, black and eerie time?

The man who'd walked with Jesus had a plan...

Iscariot would nail him with a kiss.

His plan went well until it neared the end: The thief saw Jesus, hailed him as "Rabbi". and gave the fatal kiss upon His cheek... then died inside when Jesus called him "friend".

The night that cloaked his devious deed of shame was not the only dark that swallowed Judas.

The ink that dyed his soul indelibly eclipsed forevermore that once good name.

Though Judas still means "praise" in Jewish tongue, it now translates to "traitor" in the heart; And no one ever wants to choose this name to handicap a precious newborn son.

After I wrote this poem, I wondered if some of us who call ourselves "Christian" ever besmirch that good name?

But, the darkness that enveloped Judas would never extinguish the Light of the World! The rising of Jesus Christ from the grave is associated with the dawning of a new day. No dark cave carved in rocks, and closed by a heavy stone, could overcome nor hold Him. Like most churches, we at Sharon will rejoice this coming Sunday when we celebrate His resurrection from death. He gave all His followers this blessed hope when He said: "Because I live, you will live also." And it was light!

We want to invite you to a meal and a meeting with a couple who are helping bring that light through the Mississippi River Ministry.

This past weekend treated me very good.

Son, J.L., arrived Saturday afternoon from Quincy, Illinois. Later that afternoon we went shopping at Dollar General in Greenfield. Was a treat for me to get out. I had some honey do jobs for him. Sunday, we attended church.

Sunday afternoon. I had a great surprise when C.W. McGuire stopped when he saw me sitting in the swing. Then J.L. came out and we had a really good visit. I didn’t know C.W. was home.

For what he’s been through, he looked great.

Sunday afternoon while J. L. and I were in the swing, Keran Lemons came for a visit. J.L. and Keran were classmates through elementary and high school.

From Springfield, Keran was here visiting his mother, LaRue. She is now in RCF at Good Shepherd.

Friday, another good surprise. David and Donna Kennedy of Springfield came for a

visit.

Have you noticed some beautiful sunsets? I believe one of them was the most colorful I have ever seen. And then some rain came again. We were blessed to not have storms. Oklahoma and Arkansas got the storms.

Saturday night, the Lutherans had their annual fish fry and bid event. It’s always well attended.

My little neighbor boy, Nathan, is recovering, again, from a reoccurrence of strep throat.

He has just recovered from ear surgery in Columbia and then this.

Brave boy!

Clarence M. remains at Joplin. Add Travis B. to your prayer list. He is having eye issues and is convalescing at home.

Antioch Pilgrim News by Lesia Jones QUESTIONS? Contact Editor Marlene DeClue at 417-637-2712 or greenfieldvedettepublisher@mchsi.com

On Thursday night, I went and got Wade and Chloe to spend the night.

They have been on spring break and this was chemo week for Dustin. Had a party that evening as usual.

Got up Friday morning and got around to head to Springfield. Their play day and they wanted to do Chucky Cheese Pizza. Kim was so excited I had to seat belt him in his seat. After over 3 hours there, we were tired and Kim said he had enough. The kids had a blast.

Headed home and stopped by our friends from California who just got moved back this week into a motor home. They will be starting their new home the first of April. We were telling them about ticks and chiggers. They may want to move back. Ha!!

Then took the kids home. Got home in time to change clothes and head to Ash Grove for the visitation for Leanna Claire. A huge crowd attended with a huge line waiting to get inside. Our deepest sympathy to this family.

On Saturday, Carol Jones and Patsy Summerfield were out and about running around. Hope they didn’t get into too much trouble.

Jacob was telling us that his NaNa was out little late for her. She has eyes watching her when she leaves her car at his house.

On Friday, Carol Jones, sister, Patsy Hargis and Car-

men Baker went to Republic to visit the lady they use to sit with. She is in a nursing home. They enjoyed lunch out and of course some garage sales and flea markets. A full day of fun in the sun.

On Saturday, Jacob joined us for lunch. I jumped in and got my housework done and laundry. Headed to Abby’s along with my sewing machines and started on her nursery layette. Jacob also did some painting in the baby room.

After church on Sunday, I headed back and got most of it done. Little more time and should have it done. It is looking so cute. Now makes it more exciting for the baby to get here.

Kim sure didn’t miss me as he was fertilizing all weekend and Jacob was cleaning out fence rows, getting ready to build more new fence.

Jackson and Richard Jones have been building new fence and Jacob has made several new gates.

Looking really nice. It is a never ending job, but sure great when it is done.

On Saturday night, Kelbey and Asa Bowles and Jaime and Brian White enjoyed supper out and going to the Rodeo.This was in celebration of Kelbey and Asa fourth wedding anniversary on the 20th. Boy, it does not seem possible.

Betty Vandegrift went with her daughter, Linda Coble, to some activities at

Ash Grove. A lot of people were dressed up in a certain time span. I think Linda’s group was in the 50’s. Mom said it was a lot of fun and she really enjoyed it.

I was so sorry to hear that Steve Lasater had been in the hospital. Sounds like he has had a rough time, which means Tracy did, too.

We will keep you in our prayers.

March 26 at 12:15 will be the Liberty Ladies Retreat Meeting.

Tom Wilkins is home recovering from his surgery and Ruthie is watching over him closely. Praying for a speedy recovery.

Betty Vandegrift enjoyed Sunday lunch at the home of Lucille Franklin.

Heather, Lucille’s step granddaughter, and her friend also joined them. She ended up going back for supper on Monday night for leftovers. How lucky for both of them.

I received the nicest note from a reader, Betty Charles of Lockwood. We agree about how special family is to us. I have always felt that way, but also as you get older the feeling gets stronger. When everything else goes wrong, you always have your family to help keep things together.

They are priceless.

I understand that Betty is from a family of 10 and her husband from a family of 11. I know that was tight back in the day.

Deepest sympathy to the Paul Clabough family in

the loss of his brother, Thomas Clabough. May God comfort each of them while they go through this loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with them.

Kim ran into Mike Keck and he said they had just gotten back from MD Anderson and wife, Lora, got a good report. She was sad as her doctor is retiring. So glad to hear the great news.

On Wednesday night, Carol Jones enjoyed having son, Kim Jones and her two grandsons, Dustin Jones and Jacob Jones, for a supper of liver and onions. Notice none of us girls were there?? Kim said they all ate way too much. Guess there wouldn’t have been enough for us.

Tyler and Lacey Daniels are proud parents of a bouncing boy. He is welcomed home by 2 big brothers. Let the fun begin. Proud grandparents are Teddy Daniel and the former Donetta Mitchell and Joe and Patsy Fox; great grandparents Oral and Marjorie Daniel, Butch and Judy Mitchell, Frances Hudspeth and not sure of the names for the Fox great grandparents. Congratulation to all of them on their new bundle of joy.

Lots of new mommies around in the area. I know Kelbey has two baby showers on Sunday. One for the former Brittany Coble and then for Laurie Smith. Both expecting little girls. So exciting.

On Thursday night, we

attended the meeting at the school about the bond issue.

They served supper to several and then we headed to the gym for the meeting.

They have done a lot of work/research on this matter. I urge everyone to get out and vote Yes for this.

As Kim and I was talking, if you say you don’t want your taxes raised because you don’t have any children going to school now, just think back when your children were in school. There was a lot of people paying taxes for your children to go to school and they didn’t have any children going to school.

You have heard the saying it takes a village to raise a child. Well, folks, we are the village to help our children along. They are our future, so we need to band together and help each one of these students be successful to get out there and be proud of themselves, their school and their community.

Our school is the backbone of the community.

Don’t just sit back and complain about everything. Nobody wants to be around a person that is always a downer. Yes, there might be some things that you don’t like, but you have to remember there are some things that can’t be changed. The school is also ran by the State and has to follow certain rules. Sit on the school board and you will get educated real quick

on what you can and can’t do.

Again, dig deep into your heart and do the right thing, vote yes on April 7.

Well, it’s Friday and I have already done the Friday end of the week fancy dance.

I am expecting 15 for supper tonight. The dining room table is the focus of our family. I like to cook and we all like to eat and I love being together with family and friends.

Dustin has had such a good week following his chemo. Prayers are being answered everyday. I thank God for all of our prayer warriors, and we have a lot that are praying for Dustin and his family everyday.

You don’t realize how it affects the whole family. So I pray that you continue to pray each and every day.

May God bless each of you as He has bless us with all of you.

Easter is upon us and I pray that each of you never get tired of the story. I know my children remember marching around the church house with their palm leaves. A few of us remember having palm leaves in our face during the sermon, also.

There are so many churches around that would welcome you.

Our children need to live and learn these lessons at a early age.

I heard the most beautiful song the other night that was written by a Sgt. in the Marines who was in Iraq with his platoon when they were surrounded and no aid was coming.

They were fighting all day and were running out of ammunition. The enemy was so close they could hear them laughing and waiting them out. The Sgt. told the men there was only one thing to do and that was to pray.

Just when they were about to be over run a very thick fog rolled in from out of nowhere. Off in the distance the men could see someone (they swear it was Christ) and he was waving an American flag.

Then, a path was opened and the men walked out just 15 feet from the enemy without being seen. All the men have said that they would never forget the figure or the waving of the stars and stripes or the miracle that happened on that mountain top that day.

When the singer finished, there was complete silence. I wish more could have heard it and I had the words of that song.

For my 53rd anniversary, my friends were just great at remembering and not wanting me to be alone.

Jean and Larry Ehrsam have spent so many anniversaries with us over the years that I know it was hard on them,

too. They took me to supper at Bam-boo Gardens. I wonder if they remember that when we moved back from California in the 60s, that they called and wanted to go to Springfield and take us to a Chinese place for cashew chicken. The first ever invented in the USA. Ron didn’t want to go because of all the places in Chinatown in San Francisco that had ducks hanging in the windows and the flies all over them that he had seen. It took a lot of coaxing from Larry to convince him that this was the place to go eat.

Needless to say, he ate a lot over the years after that.

While we were there, Elaine Eldred was at Bam-

Boo that night, too, with her immediate family celebrating her 98th birthday. They were to have all her grands and greats on Sunday at Lockwood for another celebration. As there were over 90 in that group, it couldn’t be done that night. What a wonderful legacy she has.

Carol McVey and Carl Sheets took me to Granny Shaffer’s at noon on the 17th for lunch. As I had started out at 6 thirty that morning to get to Nevada for an eye appointment, my day was pretty full and not much time for being sad.

Kamala and Russ tried all day to reach me but I was out of area with my phone most of the time. What a wonderful life to have so

many care about me... Or at least keep tabs on me.

Dorothy Miller did get hold of me about 10 that morning while I was waiting for my eyes to un-blurr before I started driving again. We had a good visit.

I went to Lockwood on Saturday night for the fish and bids which is always good entertainment and good food. My great nephew, Kolton Kleeman, won a bid on a baby calf which he is pretty proud of.

Sunday, Kamala and I went to Stone’s Throw for dinner and the show.

Stopped by Lowes to pick out some things for the house. Waiting now for more carpenters but at least I now have a front door.

The neighborhood is all praying for Janis Marten who is in Cox at Springfield fighting a flu or something like that. She has finally gotten the breathing tube out but still has the feeding tube in. No visitors as her immune system is at 0.

So glad to see Cletis McConnell up and out of the hospital and out taking pictures again. I had been watching the paper to see his name on the photos and had wondered what had happened.

Kamala is finishing up her year at Neosho and while there is painting a mural at Dices. I also hear that two of my nephews have joined the service. I wish them many prayers.

First off, in last week’s paper, I made a typing error that I want to correct. I want to send sympathy out to John Hobell's widow, Debbie. I had typed Bev. That’s where I was thinking of one thing but typing another.

Sorry for the confusion.

This past weekend was a good time for a wedding.

There were 3 beautiful brides who said I do!!

Congratulations to these newlyweds who all got married on Saturday, March 28th .

Ms. Brandy McDowell had a beautiful wedding in her little country church at Pennsboro with an over flowing crowd of family & friends. The lucky groom

was Ray Rosander. A huge reception followed in Springfield with lots of pictures being taken. Ray & Pam McDowell's home was over flowing with company and everyone had a wonderful time on the farm.

Also, Paul & Cheri Walters were happy to have all their girls home for the wedding. Jena flew in Saturday morning and they were all at the airport with their welcome signs.

Next was Morgan Whitaker and Marty Tice who had a beautiful outdoor wedding in Arkansas.

Several from this area traveled down there to help this young couple begin the next chapter in their lives. Proud parents are Rick & Camille Whitaker of So. Greenfield.

Landon Grider wed his bride, Briana Lynn Keller, in a unique barn wedding Saturday. Landon use to attend Greenfield school and is the son of Roger & Pam Grider, formerly of Greenfield.

Also Daryl & Lois

Huchteman traveled to Florida where her son, Jared, married his sweetheart, Seanacie, on the Santa Rosa Beach. It was a beautiful wedding in the sand under sunny skies. Daryl's sister, who is taking cancer treatments, was happy she was able to attend.

I want to congratulate new parents, Tyler & Lacey Daniel, on the arrival of a son, McKrae Joe Daniel.

McKrae arrived on March 24th tipping the scales at 7 lbs and 21 inches long. He was welcomed home by big brothers, Nash & Hudson McGuire.

Donald Berry is home from the hospital but is taking a series of high powered antibiotics for a while. He is still very weak but one lucky man. We wish him a speedy recovery.

Last Tuesday, Mom & I enjoyed lunch out at the Backwoods and got to have a good visit with Carolyn Underwood and Carl David Pierce. We decided we could sit there all afternoon and visit.

Rick & I had to run into Springfield last week and ran into Donita "Mitchell" in the grocery store and got to see pictures of her new grand baby, McKrae Daniel.

He sure was a cutie. There's nothing like being a doting grandma!

Another proud grandma is Jackie Montgomery on her granddaughter, Morgan Montgomery, who took 1st place in the 100 meter hurdles at the Reeds Spring track meet last week. Mor-

gan goes to school in Aurora and is the daughter of Phillip & Rhonda Montgomery. Way to go, Morgan!!

Mike & Susan Killingsworth got their Christmas present from their two daughters last week when they all went to St. Louis. The girls treated them to a Stevie Nicks and Fleetwood Mac Concert.

They reported having a wonderful time.

Last Friday night, Earl & Pat Killingsworth and the Bakers enjoyed supper out in Monett and then back to our house where I had Earl a homemade cherry cobbler that my Mom had made him for dessert. Talk about being full and then we had to play cards.

Saturday afternoon, I went to Walnut Grove to take pictures for my niece at her Jr/Sr Prom. The girls dresses were so pretty and the guys looked nice too of course. Lots of smiling and picture taking.

Crowned King & Queen were: Dylan Parnell and Lacey Applegate. While there, I got to see grand kids, Jayce & Mayce Baker, who had their faces painted up like tigers. Jayce is getting around pretty good with his crutches.

Saturday, a huge crowd attended Meeks grand reopening day and the workers were really getting a work out. Especially the guys out back having to load the soil and concrete. I bet they were sure tired that night.

Dave Engroff had a little

accident with his thumb over the weekend and had to have 4 stitches. I'm sure that will be sore for a while.

Wishing him a speedy recovery.

Sunday, Patsy Hargis hosted the Country Cousins meeting after several months of not having one.

She over fed us as always and I personally want to thank Aunt Carol Jones for her carmel corn, Suetta Litle for making me pinwheels and Violet Campbell for her wonderful raisin pie. I just have to ask them for my favorites and they always come thru for me. Along with all the stuff Mom fixed, we had plenty so Scotty, Jason Cooper, Stormy & Chelsey all came by afterward to sample.

Logan Baker is one happy daddy after his mare had a baby stud colt last weekend thanks to Bob & Adrienne Willett. If you would like to see the little one, just drive by Mom's; he sure is a cutie.

Uncle Winton Hargis is doing better this week and we hope he gets to come home soon.

Steve Parrish had a mini stroke last week and gave Sherry "Hargis" a good scare. He got to come home but has to take it very slow and change his eating habits big time. We wish him the best and I know it will be just as hard on Sherry trying to cook for him.

Hope everyone has a wonderful Easter weekend and hug all those little ones.
