Peebles Jailed On Several Charges Story and photo by Cle c McConnell Vede e Reporter
On 7-27-14 at about 5 a.m., Dade County Sheriff Max Huffman was called to a domestic assault east of Greenfield. The victim reported that she and her mother were assaulted by her live in boyfriend, Christopher Peebles, at her residence. She had marks on her face and her mother had been pushed down and sustained bruises to her arms and an injury to her knee. At about 6:24 a.m., John Stockton reported that his 1998 Silver Honda Passport was taken from Ruark Bluff east campgrounds. He said he believed Christopher had taken the car. Sheriff Huffman was still in the area with the victims of the domestic assault. He located the missing vehicle south of the Peebles’ residence. The car had been wrecked and was on its side. Peebles was contacted a short time later and said he had been drinking and wanted to come home. He got the
Passport from the campsite and said the keys were in it. He said the door would not close and he tore it off by hitting a tree as he left the campground. Peebles was advised by Sheriff Huffman that he would have to come with them and go to the jail. As Sheriff Huffman was reaching for his handcuffs and touched his arm, Peebles pushed him and Deputy Gregg out of the way and ran to the front door of the mobile home trying to escape. Sheriff Huffman caught him at the front door telling him “don’t do this, Chris” and grabbed his legs. Deputy Gregg ordered him to stop and then deployed his taser. One of the taser probes missed and the deployment was not effective. Peebles was kicking Sheriff Huffman about the upper body and head. Deputy Gregg tased him again and a hand-to-hand fight began. During this close quarters confrontation, Peebles was able to take

control of the taser and began to tase both Sheriff Huffman and Deputy Greggs repeatedly, stated Deputy Greggs. Peebles was able to break free of Huffman’s hold and ran to the rear door of the mobile home with the taser in hand. “I followed him as he ran around the trailer to the front yard and found an unlocked door on a patrol car and watched as he left the residence, driving the patrol car at a high rate of speed,” Deputy Gregg said.
It was later found wrecked and burned. Peebles turned himself in on the evening of the 29th. He was first charged with tampering with a motor vehicle which is a 1st degree, class c felony and was jailed with bond set at $50,000 cash. More charges were then added. Leaving the scene of a motor vehicle accident, Class C Felony. Domestic assault 3rd Degree, Class A Misdemeanor. Domestic assault,
3rd degree, Class A Misdemeanor. Resisting arrest, Class D Felony. Assault on a law enforcement office, 2nd degree, Class B Felony. Assault on a law enforcement officer, 2nd degree Class B Felony. Stealing, Class C felony. Tampering in the 1st degree, Class C felony. Bond was raised to $100,000 cash bond. At press time, he remains in the Dade County Jail.
Rehabilita on Center In Mt. Vernon To Close University of Missouri Health Care has announced the closing of the Missouri Rehabilitation Center in Mt. Vernon, effective October 31st. MRC employees were notified of the closing on Monday. “After careful consideration and in the light of recent changes in health care environment, MU has made the diffi-
cult decision to close,” said Mitch Wasden, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer of MU Health Care. The Missouri Rehabilitation Center has 24 inpatients, with capacity for 130. MRC has a total of 323 employees, including 265 full time employees, 14 part-time benefit eligible employees and 44 part-time non benefit
eligible employees. “It will be devastating for Mt. Vernon and surrounding area. It’s a sad day for a lot of people,” Mt. Vernon Mayor David Eden said. The mayor is also an employee at MRC and learned he will lose his job also. The Veterans Administration doesn’t know what will happen, but of-
ficials say they may have to close down when the hospital does. “Our first priority for the next three months will be insuring continuity of care for our patients and supporting the employees of MRC” Wasden said. “We will work closely with other long term acute-care centers and rehabilitation centers
around the state to ensure all MPC patients receive care they need. “We will be providing transition pay and benefits for employees as well as transition assistance, including priority consideration for other jobs within MU Health Care,” Wasden said.

MDA Show of Strength will feature the accomplishment of the Fill the Boot. It began in 1952 when the father of a child living with neuromuscular disease, in desperation, sought out George Graney, International Association of Firefighters Local 718 member and the help of the Boston Fire Company 1. Twenty Firefighters conducted the first Fill the Boot that collected $5000 to help with medical expenses. In 1953 Graney and the Boston firefighters launched a citywide campaign and across Massachusetts on behalf of children with muscular dystrophy. In August 1954 with the encouragement of Graney, the IAFF convention adopted MDA nationally and vowed to help until a cure was found. Fill the Boot will help maintain the Association’s hospital-affiliated clinic at Mercy Hospital Springfield and Joplin which offers diagnostic and follow-up care
HEALTHY FOODS
for people with neuromuscular disorders. MDA clinic services include physical, occupational, and respiratory therapy evaluations; assistance for repair of leg braces and wheelchairs; flu vaccinations; and assistance with the purchase of communication devices. MDA offers support groups, youngsters with neuromuscular diseases are able to spend a funfilled week at MDA summer camp and you are helping to find cures and treatments through MDA’s worldwide research program. “Firefighters have teamed up with the American public to make a huge impact fighting muscular dystrophy. The Founders of Fill the Boot would be amazed and proud of its success,” said Executive Director of MDA, Jerry Bear. Last year Firefighters in the Ozarks collected over $178,000 and 26 million nation-wide.

The Dailey Buzz Babette Terhune, Administrator of the Dade County Senior Center in conjunction with the Southwest Missouri Office on Aging has started a new service for Seniors of Dade County area. The “Daily Buzz” is a service that offers a daily phone call for seniors over the age of 60 who live alone. The purpose of this program is to ensure that older adults can maintain their sense of well being while remaining in their homes and community. It also can provide social contact and emotional support and provides a sense of security and safety. In some cases, “The Daily Buzz” call is the only contact the customer will receive for the day.
To learn more about the “Daily Buzz”, call Babette at 417-637- 2626. She will need basic health and contact information for the customer so she can set up a schedule for the time of the “Daily Buzz” call. This service is extremely valuable to care givers, family members or any senior 60+ that you are concerned about. It is also great for those who have just been discharged from the hospital or rehabilitation center. One simple call for peace of mind. This is a free service but as with all of the services of the Southwest Missouri Office on Aging (a not-for-profit agency), contributions are accepted to extend services to others in need.

I enjoyed getting to see a lot of people I hadn't seen in a while. Was sorry to learn that Nikki Pickett had fell and broke her wrist. She will be in a cast for another 3 weeks. Nikki is the mail carrier for Greenfield and we wish her a speedy recovery. Bonnie Taylor had to be rushed to the hospital last Tuesday thinking she had suffered a stroke but it turned out to be a blood clot. She should be
home by the time you read this. Bonnie seems to be having a hard time right now with her health. While working the election, we got word that Spencer Nashboo, 73, of Everton had passed away. He leaves behind his wife, Helen "Moore" of the home. Last Wednesday, Rick and I made our monthly trip to Tulsa for his cancer treatment. He got a pretty good report but still can't gain any weight. While there, we ran into John & Debbie H. who were there for his chemo treatment. John seems to be doing better. Rod O'Connor had surgery last Tuesday at the cancer center where they removed his kidney and some lymph nodes. He came thru it great and is surprising even the doctors with his good spirits. Cheryl was happy to have her sister, Shelly & husband, Clayton McMasters, there with them for a few days. Also, Larry Wheeler and Neil Pirtle came to show their support.
Nothing like having family & friends when you are in a situation like this. It means the world to you. We wish Rod a speedy recovery. Natasha Myers had a Fancy Nanci party for some special young ladies last week. All the little girls sure looked cute in their jewels and gowns. Rick's sister, Robbie, & hubby, Denny Hollis, arrived here from Texas Wednesday night. We met them for supper at the Red Barn & Grill Friday night along with his parents and sister, Brenda & Tim McPhail. We had a wonderful meal and tried to get in lots of visiting. Ran into Randy & Renae Meents and their girls & families. Also saw Debbie Jones & hubby from So. Greenfield. All the horse riders made it back last week from their 2 week trip to Colorado. Those who went this year were: Earl & Pat Killingsworth, Richard & Tammy McMasters, Duke & Wyatt Atkisson and Dawn Toler
& Violet Campbell. They reported having a great time except on the way home. Dawn was side swiped in Pittsburg, Kansas. Thank goodness no one was hurt and she was able to drive on home after putting on a spare tire. Couldn't say the same for the young man's truck that hit her. Saturday, I got to go to Columbia with Tina Summers & her two granddaughters for Kristen Wolfe's wedding. It was beautiful and the food was out of this world. Jason Summers & Rhonda done the meat and then Terri Wilkinson Keene & her daughter-inlaws took care of everything else. They done a wonderful job on the wedding cake, too. Terri's daughter, Pearl and baby, Foy, flew in from Durango, Colorado & everyone got to meet baby Foy. He was such a good baby thru it all and they had quite the time getting here due to lay overs. That’s a whole nother story. I got to see & visit with my class mate, Cheryl "McMasters" &
her daughter. I want to congratulate Kristen & her husband, Joseph Brown. What a coincidence that she would marry a Joseph Brown and it’s not our Dade County Joe Brown. Kristen is the daughter of my classmate, Karen "Wilkinson" Wolfe and the granddaughter of Howard & Carolyn Wilkinson. With all the family helping, they had a beautiful wedding. Saturday night, a lot of Dade County residents ended up at the Ozark Mountain Daredevils concert in Springfield and had a blast. Just to name a few: Jay, Kathy & Cassidy Brown, Greg & Beth Killingsworth, Carla Ruark Glenn, Richard & Tammy McMasters and Duke & Tami Atkisson. Don't forget. A lot of schools are back in session this week, so watch out for those little ones and the big yellow school buses.
FOOD FOR THOUGHT LOCKWOOD NEWS by Retha Jones I would like to take this opportunity to say “Thank You” to those who have said how much they appreciate the articles I put in the paper. Even though, some have said they don’t always agree with what I write, not a one of them
said that it is not the truth and factual! Sometimes the truth can be hurtful, especially when it flies in the face of what we have been led to believe, but the truth is still the truth and fact are still facts! Bill Head
Fred and Stephanie Obert enjoyed having their grandsons, Nathan and Noah Dutil, come spend the week last week. Then, on Sunday, the family gathered for a “summer birthday” celebration. Those in attendance included the hosts, Fred and Stephanie, Stacey and Kevin Dutil and sons Nathan and Noah, Scott Obert, Chuck Rogers,
Phyllis Bishop, Suzanne Epperly, Jeffrey and Megan Epperly and their daughters Kennedi, Maddix and Ava Epperly. Jerry Epperly, who works for the Springfield Cardinals, could not be there because of a home game. The Dutils are currently vacationing in Kevin’s home state of Maine where they are spending time with Levin’s sister and two brothers and their families. Two months ago, I got new eye glasses and then I begin to have vision problems. I went to my doctor, Dr. Saha, in Joplin to see if it was my eyes or glasses. They took x-rays, all kinds of tests, no change from two months back. This Saturday, I have an appointment with Lens Crafters. Hopefully will find what’s wrong. It’s very frustrating,
nothing clear, unable to read. Joanna and Wanda see that I get there. What would I do without my friends! That morning we left at 7 for Joplin. I was up by 5:30 (early for me), here comes my neighbor wondering if I’m okay. She knew my light was unusual. While I was dressing in the bathroom, she feeds the cats, brings in the newspape, and makes my bed! What good friends I have. Congratulations to Shawn and Rebecca Cossins. Sunday, they added to their family a dear little baby girl. The Lions Club had their meal meeting Monday night at my home. Corn dog and all that goes with it was our meal. President Paul Evermon was unable to attend due to working late. The next meeting will be Monday after Labor Day, at Bea Roncovitts. I attended Terrific Tuesday. Devotions were led by Joanna as pastor Travis is on vacation. To my knowledge, there is no change with our shut-ins. Wednesday night, the UMW had open meeting for these who wanted to hear Jacob Nentrup speak on his recent trip with other college students to Greece and surrounding coun-
ties. What a trip! Jacob is the son of Jeff and Stephanie Nentrup. Wednesday night, we, at last, received around an inch of rain, need more, more is predicted. Son, J.L. Pixy, are on vacation in New Orleans. He called last night from Biloxi, Mississippi where they were on the beach by the ocean. At last they took a vacation. A correction: it was Ken Cole’s brother, not sister, that passed away. Sorry. I believe tonight is Lockwood Main Street vehicle show. I’m sure it’s interesting if you’re into that. I’m not. I sit on my porch and watch the world go by! Sometimes it gets interesting. Recently the highway department improved the drive in at the Pump. They had set some cones around where they had worked. One day a vehicle knocked two cones down, didn’t stop. Soon a pickup was filling up with gas, the driver observed the down cones, he walked down and set them up. There was an observing man and he did something about it! Need Time? Today gives you 24 hours, 1,440 minutes, 86,000 seconds. Let’s make the best of our day!

EBENEZER PRESBYTERIAN
Mary K. Glunt
Pastor Ebenezer Presbyterian Church P.O. Box 393 Greenfield, MO revmkg@sbcglobal.net
Please accept my invitation to join us at Ebenezer Presbyterian on Wednesday, August 20th, at 1:30 p.m., for our third Wednesday movie. Of course, you are invited to join us every week as we read through the Bible and discuss how we can apply God’s Word to our lives. But on the 20th we will be watching the movie, God’s Not Dead in our fellowship hall. We’ll have coffee, tea, and lots of fellowship to make your afternoon! If you attend another church, that’s okay; we’re glad to welcome you to visit with us. And if you don’t attend a church, we’d love the opportunity to greet you. Secondly, may I ask you to please pray for our brothers and sisters in Christ, indeed, all of the people who are in the path of the radicals in Iraq and Syria. Pray for boldness in faith to stand up to these bul-
Saved?
lies. Pray for miraculous intervention by our God to protect them. Pray for the children, who are being slain in front of their parents. Pray for the persecutors, that they might see the sinfulness of their actions and repent of it. We are blessed to be in this country and to have religious freedom. Let’s use it to bless others by praying for them and speaking up for those who cannot. Many years ago a young street preacher asked me, “Have you been saved?” I responded, glibly, “From what?” I believed that Jesus had died for me, but I had never heard the terminology about being “saved.” In fact, I had never really read the Bible, only hearing it occasionally in church. And I had no assurance that I would be going to heaven. I wanted to, but I couldn’t be sure. So I continued attending church
and doing good things, trying to change my life and be “good enough” for God. Several years later I met Revonne, who demonstrated a different kind of relationship with God. Her faith was evident to everyone at the store where we worked. It was a late night in July when I sat at Howard Johnson’s as she showed me in the Bible what it meant to be saved. Later that night I called out to God, asking Him to save me and change me from the person I had become into the person He wanted me to be. I’m learning more and more each day, even though it has been over thirty years, what I was saved from, and what I need to be saved from. You see, it doesn’t matter if you are young or old, male or female, the color of your skin, or the church you attend or don’t attend. The truth is that we all need the Lord Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit to redeem us and change us. Paul states in Romans 10: “For there is no differ-
ence between Jew and Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, for, ‘Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.’” So I am saved. There, I said it. I am saved from the sins of the past and the degradation they brought upon me. I am saved from the penalty of sin that sentenced me to eternal separation from God. And I am saved from the sinful nature, following instead (most of the time) the leading of the Spirit. You might ask why I’m sharing this testimony. First because it is close to the 35th anniversary of that night in Wheeling, West Virginia, when I finally gave my heart completely to Jesus Christ and received salvation true and free. But the real reason is that you might be like I was, attending church, doing good things, but not truly knowing Christ. Are you sure today that you have a ticked to board that train to glory? Are you ready to get on board? Have
you checked to ticket to be sure it is real—that it is verified with the blood of Christ alone, rather than a counterfeit that has been purchased with your own good works? If you aren’t sure that you are ready for heaven, why not take a moment today to seal that relationship. Pray with me: Lord Jesus, I have lived a religious life, but I want to know for sure that I belong to you. Take my heart and all that is in it. Heal me. Save me. Give me the assurance today that I am ready to enter into your presence. Amen. If you knew Jesus before, this prayer has only fortified your commitment to Christ. If you had never prayed that prayer before, I welcome you into the body of Christ as my brother or sister. Go to church this weekend. Tell someone about your new experience with God. Seek the Holy Spirit for guidance and strength as you travel on your journey. We’d love to see you at Ebenezer!

FORGET-ME NOTS by Gail Leaming I would like to dedicate this article to a few of our teachers. Zelma Hooper, Jean Kersen, and Mrs. Nash... I have to tell the story of how Russ went to Zelma his kindergarten year and the next year to Mrs Nash. Zelma said it took Russ until Christmas to learn to stay in his seat. The next year he went to Mrs. Nash who was on her 43rd year of teaching. Russ came home the first day of first grade to tell me he wasn’t going back because he had argued all day with her that his name was Russ not Russell and she didn’t know how to spell. The other thing was
she only wanted him to count to 10 and wouldn’t listen to him count to 100 because she probably didn’t know how. Last, he said he tried to tell her that the ABC’s were ABC and she kept telling him it was AEIOU. Jean sent me a note about how this little girl had gone to school the first day and came home very upset. She told her mother that she couldn’t write and couldn’t read and now this teacher didn’t want her to talk. What our teachers have to put up with and how they succeed is beyond me.

Greenfield Area Ministerial Alliance To those who care and are concerned about the needy in the Dade County area. The Ministerial Alliance has been helping the needy with utilities, prescriptions, transportation to and from doctors appointments or hospital assignment. From time to time we help transits with an over night stay and usually feed them a meal. As many of you know our primary source of income is the Christmas Kettle, we receive offerings from our Annual Good Friday and Thanksgiving Community services and a Chili Dinner after the Christmas Parade, and if it weren’t for the churches donations, and some individuals who support us regularly, we wouldn’t be able to do what we do. We wish to thank everyone for your support through the years and at present time our bank balance is under
$100.00. We would ask that for those who possibly could send a donation small or great to enable us to continue to help those in need here in Dade County.

Sports Commentary By Bob Jackson
The status of the high school football program at Greenfield High School is troubling to this old coach and to many GHS alumni, former players and fans. New GHS football coach, Steve Cole, who has great expereince coaching at the college and high school level, has walked into an unwinnable position. Greenfield has 122 students in grades 9 thru 12, the lowest number high school enrollment in the past 40 years (another issue at GHS). If there 50 boys in school, one would think that 20 to 25 boys
would be interested in playing football. In summer workouts, only 8 to 10 players took part. Rumors spread that GHS would not have a 2014 football team and one Greenfield family with two key players from last year’s team transferred to Marionville. School officials kept school patrons in the dark about the situation. To his credit, Coach Cole convinced 15 players to go out for the team. QUESTIONS TO BE ANSWERED Greenfield has had 3 head football coaches in
the last four years. Where is the stability in building a program? Lockwood and Ash Grove coaches have been on the job at least 10 years. Is Greenfield just a basketball school? Some athletes will not play football because they feel they will get hurt. More support from fans for basketball than football? Why didn’t the Everton schools co-op with Greenfield? They are now co-oping with Miller. No answer from the leadership at GHS. Why didn’t the school adminstration see the number of palyers declining in football in the
spring of 2014 and take steps to reverse the problem then? ARE THESE POSSIBLE ALTERNATIVES IN THE FUTURE? 1. Go to an 8-man team schedule. nearest schools that play 8-man are north of St Joseph, Missouri. 2. Drop football and start a soccer program. 3. Drop football and try to co-op with Lockwood.That would push Lockwood into Class 2 to play Lamar, Stockton, Butler, etc. I welcome your input.

2014 GHS Football Coaches, le to right: Lee Coleman, Josh Dobson, Steve Cole, Brandon Thompson
FOOTBALL OUTLOOK GREENFIELD: The Wildcats go into the season with new coaches and less than 15 players on the team. The new head coach is Steve Cole who has experience as a graduate assistant at the University of Arkansas, assiatant coach at Southwest Baptist University at Bolivar and an assistant coach at
Glendale High School, Springfield, Missouri. He will serve as the school’s athletic director and be the school’s In School Suspension teacher. When hired this spring, he was told that 20 to 25 players would compete but only 9 to 10 players took part in summer workouts. Greenfield will not have a junior varsity team
due to lack of players. Wildcat coaches are hoping to have 20 to 25 players on the junior high team 7th and 8th grades Assisting Cole will be Lee Coleman, Josh Dobson and Brandon Thompson. Cole replaces Aaron O’Laughlin who was the Wildcat coach the past two years.The last winning coach at Greenfield was Jamie La Salle in the
2009 season. Two players from last year’s team have transferred to Marionville to play for the Comets who won the district in 2013. The Wildcats will be shorthanded all season and open play at the jamboree in Ash Grove this Friday against the host Redd Springs and Lockwood. First regular season game will be 8-22-14 at home against Pierce City. Non conference games are Archie at GHS 9-12-14 and Joplin McAuley 9-26-14. LOCKWOOD: The Tigers finished 7-4 in 2013, losing to district champ Marionville in their final game. Lockwood grad, Clay Lasater, begins his 11th season as the Tigers coach.The Tigers have 32 boys out for the team with 5 players coming from Golden City. Lockwood has had stability in their program with great support from their adminstration and school board and community and booster club backing. Lasater expects Jasper is the team to beat

Koch Named July Employee of Month at Pennington Seed Submi ed by Linda Perkin Publica ons/Training Pennington Seed, Inc
Kody Koch, Triple Crown Coating, is Pennington Seed’s Employee of the Month for July and was nominated by his managers, Susan Demster and Mark Robertson. They wrote in their nomination: “Kody has proven himself to be a great asset to the new coating operation for both Small Package and the Plant. He always has a smile on his face and is ready to tackle any task put before him no matter how big it may be. He is also willing to take on other jobs outside of the coating operation, recently helping with harvest out at the Halltown buying station, as well as helping in Small Package when the coating operation was under maintenance. We appreciate employees like Kody who make that extra effort to learn and take on responsibility.” Kody came to Pen-
nington Seed looking for “something he could make a career out of” and arrived during the addition of the Triple Crown Coating project. Throughout the construction and placement he proved himself to be responsible and capable. He says now he feels “very comfortable” with what he is doing
9
and credits the individuals that trained him for his confidence, especially noting Terry Hert, lead operator and foreman of 3rd shift with Triple Crown Coating. Kody expressed his thanks to Mark and Susan for the nomination, saying he appreciated the opportunities he had been given dur-
ing his internship with Randstad and then after being hired by Pennington Seed. He also wished to thank Keith Hankins for “giving me a chance here.” Kody thanked everyone in the treater room, saying he likes the people he works with, crediting them for their “work ethic” and their willingness to function as a support system for each other. Kody grew up in Blue Springs, Missouri, and moved to this area two years ago. He was born to Army parents in Killeen, Texas. Kody’s family includes Ashley Krohne and their two children: Brandon is 10 and will enter the 5th grade at Greenfield schools and Kaidyn is 4 and will enter pre-school. The family lives in Arcola and enjoys outdoor activities, including ATV’s, hunting, camping, fishing, and anything that gets them out on the water.

While most of you are just thinking about how much hay was put up, now is the time to begin planning for wintering the cow herd. Stockpiling tall fescue is a management tool that can play a big role in keeping the cost down. According to the hay budget produced by University of Missouri, the projected value of fescue hay is $60.86 per ton of dry matter while the value for pasture is $26.51 per ton of dry matter. That difference in prices can play a large role in the profitability of the herd. The planning for stockpiling fescue needs to start in the next couple weeks to maximize the production. The first step to planning for stockpiling is to determine how much land to allocate. As a general rule, one acre can sustain a cow for 65 - 90 days with typical growing conditions. The second step is to prepare the pastures by either grazing or clipping to 36 inches by mid to late August. After the mature growth has been removed, apply 40 – 60 lbs. of nitrogen fertilizer per acre. Once fertilized, shut the gates and leave the pasture alone until mid-December. The amount of days that one can get out of their stockpile depends on the density of the stand and amount of management put into grazing. The yield of stockpile will vary on the height and density of the stand of fescue; one inch over an acre will yield 150250 lbs. for a low density stand, 250-350 lbs for a
medium density stand, and 350-450 lbs. for a high density stand. Efficiency of cows harvesting stockpiled fescue varies from 30-35% when continuously grazed, 40-50% when rotated weekly, and 65-70% harvest efficiency when strip grazed on a three day rotation. The strip grazing concept is taught in grazing schools and utilizes portable electric fencing to allocate the amount of forage that the cattle will consume in a desired time, usually 1 to 3 days. Another plus of stockpiled tall fescue is the high forage quality. The crude protein (CP) level of the stockpile can be as high as 14% CP in December when beginning to feed and may still be at 12% CP in February. Those levels of protein will meet the needs of both the dry-pregnant cow and the lactating fall-calving cow. Putting all of this together, 10 inches of growth of a medium density stand (300 lbs. per inch) would give: 10 in. x 300 lbs = 3,000 lbs. per acre. A dry cow on the high quality fescue will consume 2.3% of body weight in dry matter, meaning a 1,250 lbs cow will consume: 0.023 X 1250 lbs = 28.75 lbs of forage each day. If we are strip grazing the stockpile and get 70% harvest efficiency there will be: 0.70 x 3,000 lbs. = 2,100 lbs of forage available. That gives an estimate of: 2,100 lbs forage per acre / 28.75 lbs day per cow = 73 cow days per acre. That many days of grazing will go a long way in reducing the amount of hay being fed and hopefully lower winter feed cost.
TRUDELL NEWS by Blanche Trudell Week of August 1: This past week has been a busy one. Saturday, Joe and I went to Racine, Missouri to pick up Sarah Edwards and Aubrey Boring at the Camp grounds. We stopped and had lunch in Carthage, Missouri. The bus brought them to the camp grounds for the families to pick up. They left July 15th and went to Independence where they met youth from all over the world. Some were from Holland, Great Britain, Austria, Germany, Italy China and other places around the world. Plus there were youth from most of the states in the United States. Then, they went to Lamoni, Iowa, where they met other youth. They played games there then they had religious classes. They started their day at 6:00 a.m. and ended around 11:00 p.m. They were ready to get home and have rest, but want to go back again next year. They stopped in Harrisonville, Missouri to let off some youth and have lunch. The bus was there at Racine camp grounds about 3:30 p.m. Just about 30 minutes late. We got all their things in the car and got home about 6:00 p.m. where we met Joyce Henry to take Aubrey to Humansville, Missouri for the night, and back to
Springfield Sunday evening. Sunday, both girls shared their experiences with our Church Congregation. It was good to have them home and take part in the Sunday services. We miss them when they are gone. Tuesday, Joe and I went to Springfield, at 7:00 a.m. I had to have fasting blood work, then a bone scan at 8:00 a.m. I had a doctor’s appointment at 3:00 p.m., so we went on to Branson. I wanted to ride on the ducks, but didn’t as I was afraid we wouldn’t be back in time for my doctor’s appointment. I am not having the chest pain now, but am taking 4 different kinds of heart meds. And I can’t do as much as I want to anymore. Joe is doing pretty good but he’s getting older, too. We just do what we feel we can and not hurt too much. I scrubbed the kitchen floor and used ammonia. Well, I had used it before, but this time it made my throat sore, eyes water, cough, sneeze, and my nose run, I guess I am allergic to it now, TOO! School starts August 18th this year. It gets earlier each year. May God bless all those who are serving our country, those in the nursing homes, all the people who have been sick or lost loved ones. And all those who

have been killed or hurt in war zones, lost in airplane wrecks, and those people hit with bad storms. God Bless America! Week of August 7: This has been a busy week. Joe and I went to Springfield to be with all three of my children and their spouses. It was the first time in over 10 years all of my children and their spouses were together. They had planned to come to the farm and I hadn’t felt good so we went to LaVonne’s home. We got to go swimming and had a wonderful time. When Joe and I got home, we had several calls about Jerry Little.
Joe and I went to check on him as he didn’t answer his telephone. I had the feeling something had happened to him. When we got there his son, Ronnie Little, was there and told us that he had passed away today. Larry Winder was there with him. He told me he had taken him shopping for a belt for his lawnmower. Larry was putting it on the mower for him; he heard a thud. When he looked around, Jerry was on the ground and he was already purple. He called 911 and when they arrived they pronounced him dead. This was where he wanted to be
when he passed and he got his wish. Joe and I have been helping the family find things as Joe and I have taken care of him most of the past 5 or 6 years. Donna and Eric Worthington have been staying on the farm to help look after him for the last 8 months. They had gone to visit Donna’s son in Belton, and their car had broken down so they were gone. I was glad Larry Winder was there. There will be an AUCTION AT HIS FARM AUGUST 19th (at Road 975 about 2 miles south of B Hwy, or take Cedar County Y Hwy to West to Omar Cemetery, then east ½ mile to road
975 about ½ mile to the barn on the left). A memorial service will be held at the Stockton Community of Christ, 500 R.B. Road on August 23rd at 11:00 a.m. Joe and I helped Donna and Eric Worthington get moved. They had their son’s van and when it was all packed and ready to go, it wouldn’t start. They stayed with us until they got it going the next day, but Donna helped me get some apples ready for canning. I have gotten 18 pints, so far, and I froze 15 quarts of bell peppers, plus canned 7 quarts of tomatoes this week. Boy, am I tired.
WE SHOULD LOOK BACK MORE OFTEN by Henry McBride We are in the process of ‘downsizing’ at our house. As part of that process I went through a box of papers and other items my Mom and Dad left behind. Among wills, birth certificates, and other items was a small New Testament that I had forgotten about. Mom had kept it for most of sixty years. I received it when I first went to college and joined Air Force ROTC. I enjoyed the ROTC classes but didn’t catch on very well to formalities like saluting. It was worse when we drilled, confirming that I actually had the proverbial two left feet.The first
page of this New Testament had the following message, entitled THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON, then signed by Franklin D. Roosevelt. “As Commander-inChief I take pleasure in commending the reading of the Bible to all who serve in the armed forces of the United States. Throughout the centuries men of many faiths and diverse origins have found in the Sacred Book words of wisdom, counsel and inspiration. It is a fountain of strength and now, as always, an aid in attaining the highest aspirations of the
human soul.” From that recognition of the importance of spiritual support of our soldiers, we have come to a situation where New Testaments are no longer given to soldiers; rather attempts are being made to silence Christian soldiers and chaplains in regard to living and admitting their faith. I feel sorry for our soldiers who have been subjected to Bill Clinton, who said he “loathed the military,” and Barack Obama who refuses to respect the U.S. flag and thinks it is legitimate to use the military to further his radical, social en-
gineering views and his bizarre sexual agenda. It appears his purpose is to either silence Christians in the military or remove them from service. To aid in achieving his goal, the President appointed atheism activist Mikey Weinstein, head of the Military Freedom From Religion Foundation, to a position where he can exert pressure on military officials to restrict the practices of Christians to express their faith. Being an incorrigible clip nut, over many years I had accumulated folders, boxes, and drawers full of newspaper and
magazine clippings, entire magazines, material printed off the internet, and information received in mail-outs from various organizations. My filing system was simple. If it went into a box or drawer, it was on top, maybe. If it went into a folder, it was in the back, maybe. Or it could just accumulate in a pile. It doesn’t matter now. Almost all of it went into the recycle bin. It has been interesting to scan a lot of the older material. The donkeys were having a great time raking George Bush over the coals due to the Mideast wars, even after
they voted for it. The elephants were trying to prevent the Obamacare disaster, with none of them voting for it. At that time we didn’t know about the web of lies being spun by the President to assure us that everything regarding healthcare was going to be magnificent. We didn’t know about the President bribing Democrat Senators to vote for the bill. Old news that wasn’t good news at the time still isn’t good news.

CLINTON COMMITTEE A friend of mine from Mississippi is on a committee to raise $10,000,000 for a monument for Hilary R. Clinton. They wanted first to put her on Mt Rushmore until they discoverd there was not enough room for two more faces. The next spot for the statue would be in Washington, D.C. Hall of Fame. It was not proper to place it by the statue of George Washington who never told a lie or beside her husband, Bill Clinton, who never told the truth since Hillary could never tell the difference. They have decided the best place would be beside Christopher Columbus, the great explorer. He left Spain not knowing where he was going. And when he got there, he did not know where he was. He returned not knowing where he had been and did it all on somebody elses money. My friend states that the committee has raised $ 2.16 so far.
