"This year's agenda should appeal to a wide sector of the southwest Missouri beef industry," said Eldon Cole, livestock specialist with University of Missouri Extension.

The first conference speaker is Dr. Craig

Payne, University of Missouri Director of Veterinary Medical Extension.

He will outline new antibiotic rules that will affect livestock owners, feed suppliers and veterinarians. Those rules are currently set to begin by December 2016.

The second afternoon presentation on the beef market outlook will be given by Dr. Scott Brown, University of Missouri Department of Agricultural and Applied Economics.

Panelists include Beth Outz and Taylor Tuttle of the Missouri Beef Industry Council, Columbia; Cody Washam, Wentworth owner/operator of Wide Range Bovine Unlimited; and Glen Cope, beef cattle rancher from Aurora.

On November 16th, Natalie Wehrman planned to take some food outside to throw away and going back into her house, she fell, not able to get herself up and eventually lying near her deck for nearly four hours, shouting and shouting for help and saying many prayers. The snow and ice began falling and of course no help came to help her get up and finally around noon Matthew Keller, Fults, Ill, Brian, Matthew’s father, Bob Keller, heard her calls and tried to warm Natalie up, but she was taken to Mercy Hospital where she had surgery for a hip injury and eventually was taken by ambulance to Good Shepherd Nursing Home. She was a resident there for around eight weeks with therapy and recovery. On January 13, the doctor released her to return to her home for further therapy and recovery.

During her ordeal, her daughters and sons took very good care of her and she had many visitors, many cards, and many prayers for which she is thankful. The Home was shut down for three weeks by the flu and residents were to stay in their rooms, food was brought to the rooms, and there were no events going on so it would not spread. She was permitted to attend the Christmas Eve services at Immanuel Lutheran and several other events.

On December 27 the annual Wehrman-Brand Christmas party was held at Immanuel Family Life Center with hosts being the Natalie Wehrman family with Kaylyn Wehrman being in charge. It started with the traditional basketball battle but was shortened because of the lack of players but still had a fun game with the Wehrmans as victors, the Wehrmans 19, score Brands 22,.

Wehrmans, Clint Wehrman 11. Several noticed that Seth Meinzen scored 2 points and Nathan came in at the last minute with cowboy boots on and Caleb didn’t play much because of illness.

Some of the younger set played some volleyball before the group gathered for the meal. The host family furnished slithered pork and several other dishes, minus devilled eggs this year, and everyone else added to the meal and the desserts were plenteous.

Pictures were taken of the group and then the ladies who had brought a scarf had their exchange and some took a different scarf from the one they first received.

Everyone always enjoys what the men bring because there are unusual and crazy gifts. Again they were not disappointed and there were exchanges among their group and lots of laughter and fun.

The children drew names and they certainly enjoyed opening their presents.

Scrapbooks were on display from previous parties and guests were welcomed and new babies were the hit of the day. A tour planned by Kaylyn and Nathan of places in Lockwood of past relatives and new sights was planned and everyone divided up going to these past and present homes and were quite appreciative of this planned tour.

Those present (around 45) included: Barbara Wehrman, Kirbyville; Greg, Audrey, Ian, Riley, Wehrman, Smithtown; Anna Spiegelman, Nashville, TN; Joel, Cindy Wehrman, Hoover, AL; Steve, Reagan, Sophia, Madeline Wehrman, Cullman,AL; Jane, Trenton Roebke, Strafford; Clinton and Amber Wehrman, Nixa; Karl and Colleen Brand, MO City, TX; Carol, Brand.

Because of Natalie’s being in the nursing home, Jim and Denise, the hosts, planned to have it in Natalie’s home which worked out with Natalie’s presence. The group met around 4:00 p.m. Lots of presents were gathered around and under the decorated Cardinal tree. They let everyone trade a little but no one did much of that. They enjoyed a variety of pizzas and candies, decorated sugar cookies which everyone loves. A music concert by family members and was well planned. Denise was announcer and accompanist of most of it. Nathan played several pieces, Angela, Michelle and Josh sang solo’s and later sang a trio on Silent Night. The group played their own made up game using parts of Pictionary ideas. On Saturday some did a little shopping and then most returned to their homes.

Natalie Wehrman returned to her home on January 14 and Stephanie was present for several days to make arrangements with doctors, home care, NH and returned to her home later that day. Of course she is happy to be home and hopes to become independent within the next few weeks.

Reed Chosen Pennington Seed’s Employee Of The Month Greenfield City Council Submitted by Linda Perkin Publications/Training Pennington Seed, Inc.

Joe Reed is the Employee of the Month for January at Pennington Seed and was nominated

by Kevin Neill, Penn Pak II seed buyer, who wrote in his nomination: “Joe has been a long time dedicated employee and continues to answer the call to go the extra mile. He has added SAP data entry into his resume in the past year, along with all his other responsibilities.

“Joe is able to keep this added responsibility and maintain his share of the physical workload, and manage his shift, and keep the grain cleaning operation going to meet the flow of cleaned inventory required for the massive production needs we have during this very busy time that Penn Pak II is in.

“He also has the knowledge and skills to maintain repairs and assist our millwrights in all kinds of weather. Joe has spent a lot of time these last few weeks in frigid weather assisting and troubleshooting major breakdowns.

“He has proven time and time again over the past 20+ years that he can go beyond his job description and do whatever it takes to keep this plant and cleaning operation going.”

What Joe likes most about his job is that he doesn’t have to do the same thing every day.

He says he really has three different jobs that are rotated every week with two other employees, Nathan Sands and Thomas Kelley.

“Even if I’m doing

the same job, it’s different every day. Some days it might be unloading trucks and the next day it might be railcars,” said Joe. To add to the diversity, there are also three different work areas: 1) the computer room where the seed is batched into the facility providing product to run on the lines; 2) the scale house where loads of seed are weighed and tested; 3) the cleaner where all the seed is processed and sent to the proper bins.

Joe said the staff rotates their breaks and lunch so there is always someone available to handle anything that comes up.

Joe says he likes the company because it is “run more like a family business than a large corporation.”

“Everyone is friendly and I’ve got good bosses.

We’re friends at work and away from work,” said Joe. He also stated that he enjoys his work and that always helps make a job better.

Joe was born and raised in Orange County, California, where he lived until he was around 13 and the family moved to Everton.

While in high school, he joined the Army and on graduation day from Everton High School the recruiter was there to pick him up.

He spent most of the next three years at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, where he was an Army aviator crew chief on a utility Huey helicopter.

After his honorable discharge, he came back to Missouri where he practiced several differ-

ent trades before landing at Penn Pak II. One of those trades was remodeling and building barns and pole barns; the other was being a hod carrier for a group of bricklayers.

Joe and Bev have been married for 15 years and have three children and 6 grandchildren.

Tina, the oldest is married to Shane Palmer.

The couple lives in Davis City, Iowa, with their 5 children.

Next in line are Mark and Nicole Eisensee.

They have a young daughter, Emma and live in Golden City.

Rachel, the youngest, works at Prairie Mountain in Lockwood and lives in Greenfield.

For hobbies, Joe enjoys shooting pool, hunting, fishing, and barbequing. One event that he looks forward to every year and participates in is the Big Green Egg EGGstravaganza in Springfield.

“You tell them what you are going to cook and provide the recipe and samples for people,” said Joe. “You also walk around and get recipes and samples from others.” He says the menu will include everything from breakfast fare through to dessert.

Joe thanked Kevin Neill for the nomination saying, “Kevin is one of the hardest working bosses I know and he puts up with a lot.”

Joe received the Employee of the Month award once before in 2005. He’ll have to stick around until 2025 to see if this once-a-decade recognition will be repeated.

Search for Missouri Century Farms

Submitted by Andy Emerson Missouri Century Farm Coordinator

If your farm has been in your family since Dec. 31, 1915, you can apply to have it recognized as a Missouri Century Farm.

To qualify, farms must meet the following guidelines: The same family must have owned the farm for 100 consecutive years.

The line of ownership from the original settler or buyer may be through children, grandchildren, siblings, and nephews or nieces, including those through marriage or adoption. The farm must be at least 40 acres of the original land acquisition and make a financial contribution to the overall farm income.

“It is important to honor and respect our history,” said Michael Ouart, vice provost for University of Missouri Extension.

“These farms represent both Missouri’s cultural heritage and the good stewardship that our farmers strive for.”

In 2008, the Missouri Farm Bureau joined MU Extension and the MU College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources as a program sponsor.

“Missouri Farm Bureau is a proud partner in the recognition of century

farms,” said Blake Hurst, president. “We applaud the hard-working farm families that have kept us fed and clothed for generations. They represent an important part of our heritage and laid a foundation for the bounty Americans enjoy every day.”

Applicants certified as owners of a 2015 Missouri Century Farm will be recognized by the local MU Extension office in the county where the farm is located. Applicants are presented with a sign and a certificate.

Since Missouri began the program in 1976, more than 8,000 century farms have been recognized.

For applications received by May 1, a $65 fee covers the cost of a certificate, farm sign and booklet for approved applicants. If the application is received between May 1 and May 15, the cost is $75. Applications must be postmarked

by May 15, 2015, to be considered.

For application forms and information, call MU Extension Publications tollfree at 1-800-292-0969, contact your local MU Extension office, or visit the program website at http://extension.missouri.edu/centuryfarm.

Happenings at Main Street Baptist Keep Smiling QUESTIONS? Contact Editor Marlene DeClue at 417-637-2712 or greenfieldvedettepublisher@mchsi.com

Main Street met at 9:30 for Sunday School then adjourned to the sanctuary for Worship Service. The choir let us in singing “Victory in Jesus.”

Rodney’s message was on “A Gospel of a Second Chance.” The Reluctant Prophet Series”.

Part 1, Jonah 1:1-16.

1. The Rebellious Prophet, a calling from above. “And the word of the Lord came.” It’s amazing how many people say “God has never spoken to me.” My response to them is “you ain’t listening!” Now to Jonah, God chose to speak what was apparently an audible voice.

But remember, God chooses to speak in many ways.

To Moses, he spoke in a burning bush, a vision and a dream.

To Isaac, God spoke in a dream.

To Abraham, God spoke through His angels.

In Kings 19, God spoke to Elijah through a still, small voice.

To Jeremiah, God spoke through symbols.

To Joseph, God spoke through circumstances.

To the Ephesians, God spoke through signs and wonders.

Throughout history

and to all people, God will speak through His Word, the Bible.

A Clear Truth to Understand. The important point is not “How” God speaks, but that we understand “What” God is saying. To Jonah, God said, “arise and go to Nineveh.” But notice what Jonah did, which brings up the next point.

2. The Cost of Rebellion.

Satan always had a ship ready when you’re running from God. Verse 3 says, “But Jonah rose to flee to Tarshish.” Tarshish, why that was way over in Spain, 1000 miles in the opposite direction from Nineveh! Not only was it far away, it was across the sea, and most Jewish people hated the sea.

What was the cost to Jonah for running from God? It took him where he did not want to be. It caused him to do things that were against his nature, things we would not normally do.

It was a waste of time.

Notice that verse 4 says, “But the Lord” God knew where Jonah was.

It was a waste of money, Verse 3 says, and “Jonah paid the fare.”

Running from God will cost you time and money.

Consider the kids who while running from God start doing drugs. Drugs cost lots of money. Or how about kids addicted to music and video downloads. A dollar per song downloads cost lots of money. Or the adult who has to have that daily drink.

Like Jonah, many today are running from God, and it is costing them dearly!

3. The Consequences of Disobedience.

God sent his judgement in verse 4. A great storm overcame Jonah.

So, big deal? The problem is, when we sin, others suffer. For the sailors, and the others on the ship, they lost their cargo, and almost lost their lives. What is really weird is that while the others were suffering because of Jonah, Jonah himself was fast asleep.

Another problem with sin is that we often are not aware that we are in trouble. Like Jonah, we are oblivious to the problems our mistakes cause others!

Look at Verse 11.

“What should we do?” was the question everyone on board the ship was asking. And notice the reply. Throw me into the sea. Did the sailors do that? Not immediately,

first they tried to do everything humanly possible to save them.

Lighten the board, row harder, the problem is, the Bible is clear that no one can save himself or herself. That is why we must...

4. The Cure for our Condition: Cast our sins into the care of God. Only God can save us. Finally, when no other alternative was left, they did what Jonah said. They threw him overboard.

Actually, what they did was entrust Jonah into the hands of God. Now, the only one who could save Jonah was God. Jonah thought he could escape the geographic boundaries of God’s hand and love. Psalms 139 reminds us this is impossible! a. Admit your sin to God (Romans 3:23, 6:23) b. Believe Jesus paid (died) for your sin and rose from the grave (Romans 5:8, 10:9-10) c. Call upon the Lord (pray) (Romans 10:13) our Remember weekly activities.

by Sara Johnston

Here’s the chorus from the song “The Anchor Holds”: The anchor holds though the ship is battered. The anchor holds though the sails are torn. I have fallen on my knees as I faced the raging seas. The anchor holds in spite of the storm. Are you facing any storms in your life?

One way or another we do face ‘road blocks’ along the way. We want peace; we want closure. I chose to give all my burdens to Jesus. A lot is going on in this world we don’t understand. The

‘anchor’ in this song I believe is Jesus. He’s the faith that holds Christians together. Keep your eyes focused on Him. He will give you the strength to go on every day. And joy will return in your lives for a brighter tomorrow.

Here’s another song: ‘Oh, how He loves you and me! Oh, how he loves you and me! He gave His life, what more could He give? Oh how He loves you, Oh, how He loves me, Oh, how He loves you and me!’

Guinness World Book record holder, Lowell Mason, will be appearing at Grays Christian Point Church, 504 Hwy YY, Miller, Missouri, on February 15, 2015 at 6:00 p.m. A sandwich supper after the program.

Lowell Mason has been called the World’s Smallest Gospel Singer because of his unique height of only 46 inches.

During this program you will hear a variety of “Old Time” songs.

This special areawide concert is open to the public, and will feature “Gospel Music” Branson Style, along with a current report on the 20 year Bible Distribution program in Russia.

There is no admission charge. A free-will offering will be received.

Food Bank Challenges Churches To “Catch Fish” During Lent

Inaugural Fish Food Drive Will Benefit Ozarks Food Harvest’s Network Of Pantries Submitted by Lindsey Neddenriep Public Relations Manager Ozarks Food Harvest

Ozarks Food Harvest is asking area churches to host food drives in hopes of reeling in thousands of pounds of canned or “pouched” fish — one of the regional food bank’s most needed food items.

“We’ve reached out to dozens of our church volunteer groups to see if they’d collect canned fish for us,” said Denise Gibson, development director at Ozarks Food Harvest. “We’re encouraging all of our faith-sup-

ported member food pantries to promote this drive in their communities. The more we all collect, the more families we can collectively impact.”

Event organizers scheduled the “canned fish” food drive to coincide with Lent this year, February 18 through April 3.

“This is the first time we’ve asked for one specific kind of protein item from the public. Canned fish is really a great deal,” Gibson said. “Not only is it a good source of protein, it’s fully-cooked, shelf-stable, low-cost and

often packaged in single servings.”

To help increase protein options for OFH partner food pantries, food bank officials are asking church groups to collect items such as canned or pouched tuna, salmon, mackerel, sardines or oysters.

To sign up your church or group, contact Terry Keller at (417) 8653411 or tkeller@ozarksfoodharvest.org.

Registration is also available online at ozarksfoodharvest.org/fooddrive.ht ml.

The little lady that Carmen Baker and Carol Jones has been sitting with for awhile had to be put in the nursing home on Monday. It was a sad day for them to see her have to go there, but it is where she needed to be.

On Saturday, I puttered around the house getting ready for all the family to come down to celebrate Jacob’s 33rd birthday. We enjoyed shrimp, crab legs and steak and his dessert was very special cupcakes.

They were pink inside if that tells you anything.

Wade and Chloe spent the night. Dustin called me earlier in the day and wondered if I wanted them, because they were packing their bags and coming anyway. Ha!! There will come a time when they don’t want to stay, so I better make all the memories I can.

Betty Vandegrift enSaturday in joyed Arkansas seeing her granddaughter, Courtnee Leeper, get married. It was an all day event.

Mom reported she got home around 6:30. All she could talk about was what a beautiful bride she was and such a neat chapel. Can’t wait to see all the pictures and stories. Ha!! Since Mike and Courtnee are both new employees, a honeymoon will come later.

On Sunday, Jacob came for breakfast and Melinda and Dustin arrived in time to eat what was left over. Wade and Chloe had spent the night with us.

Wade informed me that he needed a new boy throw for his bed. He thought his blended with Chloe’s too much so that made it girly. Gives me a reason to go shopping.

After church at Liberty, we had a Ladies Re-

treat Meeting. We will meet again the first Sunday of March and bring sample of our foods to decide what for sure we are going to fix. That should be fun.

Made a couple stops after church and on to home and was in a cooking mood. So I cooked all afternoon and delivered goodies to Carol, Jacob and Abby, Kelbey and Asa and on to the Dustin and Melinda and back home by 7. Told them all Happy Super Bowl.

Continue to keep the families of Buster Hargis in your prayers. I know they miss him and I know Backwoods will never be the same.

On Tuesday, Kim had a coon hunting meeting in Ash Grove, so that was the perfect time for me to stay in town late and do some running around.

Got home at 8:30.

Kim met me at the door to help me. I thought he was going hunting. Full Moon. Silly me. I even bought some Christmas presents. I am a planner.

Congratulations to T.J. Younts and Jamie Younts of the birth of another little girl. She has a big sister that will have this all under control. Little girls just love to mother things.

We continue to get so many calls and cards regarding Dustin and words can never express how humble we are. So many prayers, kind words. It means more than we could ever say.

Thank you and it is so very much appreciated.

Thanks to Mrs. Vanhooser for her special message. I don’t know that I have ever met her, but her kindness makes us friends. Thank you.

John and Mary Ann McDowell are proud grandparents again.

GACC Meeting Notes Submitted by Patty Bair Secretary

Review of our annual meeting held Thursday, January 29, 2015, was a huge success. Largest group we've had in some time: 67 attended.

Several new businesses represented: Char-

to Congratulation niece, Shelby Vandegrift, for passing her state boards and she is now a Registered Nurse. We are so proud of her. She is the daughter of baby brother, Darren and Sandy Vandegrift. This makes four RN’s in our family. Mom has several to take care of her and give her good advice.

On Saturday, I was so glad to get to visit with Ann Butler. She had called concerning Dustin.

I know her prayers are with him everyday and I do appreciate her taking the time to call and visit with me. God is working all around us.

Willis Leeper is still a patient in the hospital.

On Friday night, he tried to get out of bed and fell and broke his hip. They had to wait a few days before doing surgery due to the infection that he had that put him there in the first place. So sorry that Clara was unable to attend her granddaughter’s wedding on Saturday night in Arkansas.

There was around 22 there to witness the big occasion.

Chuck Myers took his dad, G.D. Myers, to a couple of doctor appointments last week.

On Friday night, Kim and I got to meet Bo and Marilyn Dobis of California. They are going to be moving here around March and will be building a new home on their property on WW Highway by the church camp.

Afterwards, we met Jacob and Abby and went out for supper.

Did you see the fireworks in the sky with all of the excitement of the birth of a little girl? Mr. & Mrs. A.J. White are the very proud parents of a baby girl. I have not heard all about it, but I know A.J. is smiling bigger than he usually smiles. Well, we know he is whipped now with a little princess in the house. She will have him so wrapped around her little fingers. This will be fun to watch. No more silent nights or quiet evenings at their house for awhile. All the fun and exciting memories ahead.

Their daughter, Morgan, her husband and daughter are proud to bring home a healthy little boy.

Great Grandma Anita Baldwin is just as proud of her growing family.

On Thursday, Kim was in Springfield so he came by work and brought me lunch. All the girls thinks he’s so special for doing that.

Well, so do I. Later in the afternoon, Heather White came over and visited with me. She works in the office across the hall from me. She was checking on Dustin. She is married to Danial White.

Dustin and Danial were raised together.

Heather is expecting # 3 in 11 weeks. Another girl. This will make two girls and a boy. This will make three granddaughters and two grandsons for grandma, Cathy Harrington, for now. Now we are just waiting on Brian and Jaime.

Heather White met daughter-in-law, my Abby Jones, at a baby shower recently. They were sitting by each other and got to visiting and one thing led to another and what a small world, they know some of the same people. So funny how life pulls people together and makes a full circle.

On Friday night, I stopped at Murpin’s and ran into one of Dustin’s grade school teachers, Beverly McMasters. We had a good visit and of course Dustin was our main topic.

For those that remember Mrs. B, her oldest daughter is married, middle daughter is attending OTC and baby girls are 17 and go to

ity McGill hoping to open a software development company in Greenfield.

Also Kim Rhodes will be opening the new print shop on Main Street in late February.

school at Willard where they live.

Mrs. B is at Morrisville Schools and is in the Library now and loves it. It was so good to see her and visit. She was a special teacher at Everton. We all hated to see her go.

Well, my mother is on the mend and running full speed again. Thank you God. Lucille Franklin has even gotten out on some of these pretty days. Sister, Linda Coble and mom were shopping in Springfield one day last week. Mom didn’t seem to like to shop when we were at home, but boy can she shop now. I think she said she got home at 6:30.

I think little Hank Hargis is a keeper. I loved that picture and don’t know who thought of putting an ear tag on his hat, but one of these days he will grow up and say something about it.

Children just don’t understand their parents’ humor sometimes. One day they will understand.

Glad to hear that Cletis McConnell is feeling better. He will be out and about real soon.

Wednesday night, I was suppose to have a hair appointment. After hitting the roads with some freezing rain and crazy drivers, I called Tracy and cancelled. On Thursday morning, driving in the dirt road were so pretty. A layer of crusted snow, so clean and pure. Looked like diamond slivers everywhere. Then you could see all the wild life tracks.

Getting up early, you can see some awesome sights. The sun coming up in our big beautiful

sky. When was the last time you sat back and enjoyed that? I get to enjoy some of that beauty everyday going to work as I am praying and thanking God that I am able to do that. When others would like to, but unable too. It also helps when you love your job.

Not everyone is that lucky either.

Hope everyone has a great week. Just think every week that slides by us with no nasty weather is a week closer to spring.

Friday night is homecoming at Everton. I remember those exciting days of being in high school and the week building up to homecoming. The pep rallies, bon fires on the school grounds.

Back in the day we had excitement, too. We walked to school or rode the bus. Only a few students had a car.

Things are different now. Boys doing farm chores before and after school, that would be child abuse today.

It’s all about cable T.V. and video games.

Things are surely different these days.

I could never keep my boys in the house long enough to eat their meals and drag them in at dark. Jacob would tell me just to turn on the porch light so they could play outside little longer.

My boys still love the outdoors.

Happy Valentine Day to each and everyone. It’s not about the candy/flowers or dinner out. It’s the thought that counts.

If you have someone that loves you unconditionally, you have it all.

God first and the rest falls into place.

Trudell News by Blanche Trudell

We know we live in Missouri when the temperature is 70 degrees one day, and then about 8 degrees the next. It is GOOD OLD MISSOURI. I kind of like some change in the weather, but I still can complain about it.

I was glad it was nicer Monday, the 2nd, when Joe took me to Springfield for a medical test to see why I was having trouble eating. Well, I knew why, but the doctors had to prove it, so the insurance would pay for the treatment I need to help me. I have had the same problem for 50

or more years. It’s just gotten worse as I get older, but I still eat enough that I stay too heavy. the Wednesday, weather started out beautiful. I went to El Dorado Springs to get Verna Tipper, as we had a business meeting with the pastoral group and our leader, Karen Tillery, from Rich Hill. She came to meet with us.

Verna and I were going to go out for supper then on to the church for Bible Study and Prayer meeting. Well, it was misting and then we got a call from Joe Tipper,

Verna’s son, that it had turned into ICE from Nevada to El Dorado and the roads were very bad.

We finished the meeting, and Karen took Verna home, and Joe Tipper and Joe Trudell didn’t have to get out in the ice and snow. We called off prayer meeting and Bible study.

I didn’t have any trouble driving home, but it took Karen and Verna much longer to get to their homes, due to the ice north of Stockton, Missouri.

I love snow in the winter, and all the beautiful birds and wild life,

the deer and raccoons. I don’t like it when the wild hogs and armadilloes dig up all the ground, or the ICE makes it so hard to drive and all the accidents it brings.

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

Those who are without power in the U.S. due to the big blizzard! Have a wonderful year!

And God Bless America!

First off, I want to wish everyone a very Happy Valentines Day!!

Lots of baby announcements this week: AJ & Allysa White are ecstatic to announce the arrival of their 1st child, a girl, Sadie Dawn, who arrived on February 2, 2015, weighing 7 lbs. 12 oz. and 20 inches long.

Shawn & Morgan "McDowell" Wright are happy to announce the arrival of a baby boy, Oakley John Thomas, who tipped the scales at 8 lbs. 9 oz. and 21 inches long. He was welcomed home by big sister, Ayla, who will turn 3 this next week.

Also M/M TJ Yount welcomed their 2nd daughter, Katie Rain, on February 4, 2015, tipping the scales at 7 lbs. 15 oz.

and 20 inches long. She was welcomed home by big sister, Emily. We want to congratulate all these new parents on their bundles of joy.

I read in the Springfield paper last week that M. Lavon Wisehart, 88, of Republic, had passed away. He was born in Everton on 3-30-1926 to Cornelius Franklin & Bessie (Hood) Wisehart.

His wife had passed away 15 days earlier after sharing 71 years together.

Thought maybe some of my readers might know him. He leaves behind one son, David, & one daughter, Debra Amtower, many grand kids and one sister, Lois Hunter of Miller.

I got word that former GHS graduate of the class of 1949, John Butler, passed away Sunday morning in Idaho. John leaves behind his wife, Annabelle, who I had visited by phone with several times.

Also, Ron Dinge’s brother, Jake, passed away February 4th from cancer in Kansas City.

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

Frankie Marsh of Miller had back surgery last week and is home recuperating very slowly.

He would love to have some visitors to pass his

time. Wishing him a speedy recovery.

I hope everyone got to see the article in the Show Me Mo. Farm Bureau magazine this month on our very own Dade County boy, Nathan Wehrman of Lockwood & his wife, Kaylyn. It was a really good story and nice pictures, too.

My son, Trevor Hawkins and his family, just enjoyed a trip to Keywest, Florida, for a week and reported having the best vacation yet.

The two little boys enjoyed swimming with the dolphins & sitting in the pilot’s seat of the airplane the best. I know I would love getting out of North Dakota this time of year.

Francis Hudspeth enjoyed all three of her girls this past week visiting her in Texas. They always have a great time down there together shopping & visiting.

Was sorry to get word Friday that one of Rick's railroad buddy's, J.D. Craker, passed away. JD leaves behind his wife, Trudy and their 4 children & families. I want to extend sympathy to all his family.

Last Friday, Rick & I drove our monthly trip to Tulsa for his check-up and he got a good report.

It looks like news will be short this week. Cold, bad weather, not much going on.

After I wrote my news last week I had a visitor. Connie Stump, Kevin’s mother. I think she came to console me about my mistake came out that day in the Vedette. If you didn’t read, my mistake was I reported the death of Kevin. That was bad news. Good news he’s still taking treatments and he got a laugh over my mistake. “I didn’t laugh!” Anyway, we’re

all happy now. Next time I will inquire more. Connie and I had a good visit.

To my knowledge there’s no changes in last weeks listed illnesses except Madge T is back in Joplin Mercy Hospital with pneumonia and in ICU. Keep her in your prayers.

Some of you may remember Naurene and Ken Carter. She is now living with family in Texas and I did not know Ken passed away last fall. In Lockwood they lived east of the elemen-

tary school.

Thursday was my visiting nurse last day to check on me. She was so nice, miss her but I’m doing fine.

Bad cold weather still no snow or little to help with moisture. Such a bad Wednesday night.

The church was cancelled due to ice in parking lot. Will be next Wednesday night.

Where J. L. lives in Quincy, Illinois, they have had lots of snow.

Nancy says in Anchorage, Alaska, for them little snow. I wonder what

March will be?

My neighbors, Amy, is visiting her grandmothers in Phoenix, Arizona for two weeks and tonight my good friend and neighbor, Justin, brought over my evening meal.

Note: The best and most beautiful things in this whole world cannot be seen nor even touched, but just felt in the heart.

Stopped by Earl & Patty Killingsworth's on the way home for a few hands of cards and the men were hot. They only let us girls win one game.

Mom had a nice visit from Dalton Hargis and Dakota Friend on Friday night. They had brought her some pictures over that Vicki Gillen had taken for them. They turned out really good but you guys forgot to leave me mine. haha Saturday, I went to Skyler Baker's ballgame and they had to take a loss. Then I went and spent the night with little Miss Lucy while Mom & Dad went to a birthday ball. Talk about getting all spiffy; they looked really nice and reported having a great time. Lucy & I had a good bonding time, too. Nothing like a little smiling face & sticky kisses to make Granny smile.

Sunday morning, I got up early and headed back to Dade County. We had our usual Sunday lunch at Mom's and were treated with quail this week. Talk about good & moist, I thought Rick might founder. Tassy & Timber came over along with my bunch and

Scotty stopped by, too.

Then Aunt Carol, Mom & I went and got a tour of Kelbey & Asa Bowles new home. It is really shaping up nicely and I can't wait to see the finished product.

What a beautiful weekend it was and I know lots of cattlemen were working their cattle including us. I don't mind taking pictures & filming in February with this kind of weather. I just hope this doesn't back fire and we get really cold in March & April when all the cows start calving.

I reported to my arthritis doctor last week and the medicine they put me on seems to be working so I don't have to go back for 6 months.

Winton Hargis has been very sick this past week after getting choked last Friday. I hope he has a better week.

We got word over the weekend that Dad's cousin, Norma Kay Irish, in Billings, Montana lost her husband to pneumonia. We send our prayers & thoughts to her family.

I hope everyone has a great week & don't forget your sweetheart on Saturday!!!

Greenfield Wellness Center Gets ‘On The Ball’ In The New Year Submitted by Pat Stone

Employees at the Greenfield School District showed that they could bounce and roll into the New Year by checking out the stability ball from the Wellness Center and taking it for an hour or a whole day and using it instead of their chair to get a whole body workout right at their work station.

On top of all the exercise and stretching benefits they received from checking out the ball, each person was awarded a packet that contained information, exercises and one week free health club passes that could be redeemed at the Meyer Fitness Center in Springfield, Cox North Fitness Center, Willard Sports and Recreation Center or Cox Health in Republic.

We are so proud of our employees who dared to be different and

Vaccination Best Protection Against Measles QUESTIONS? Contact Editor Marlene DeClue at 417-637-2712 or greenfieldvedettepublisher@mchsi.com

Submitted by Pamela Allen, Administrator Dade County Health Department

Measles is a disease we don’t hear much about, because for many years very few measles cases have occurred in the United States.

Many years ago, before a vaccine was developed, almost all children got the measles before they turned 15 years old. But within the last 15 years, a healthy vaccination program in the U.S. almost got rid of measles completely. Once in a while measles come back into the U.S. from other countries, and can make unvaccinated children and adults very sick.

Measles is very contagious. People that are sick with measles can spread it to other people four days before they have a rash, to four days after the rash appears. It is spread when a sick person coughs or sneezes on or near another person.

IN THE CIRCUIT COURT OF DADE COUNTY, MISSOURI PROBATE DIVISION

IN RE THE ESTATE OF: RUTH ILA FANE,

ESTATE NO. 14DD-PR00052

NOTICE OF APPOINTMENT OF A CONSERVATOR RSMO 475.050-475.080

TO ALL PERSONS INTERESTED IN THE ESTATE OF: RUTH ILA FANE, a disabled person

The measles virus can also live on surfaces and objects for up to two hours. This means if a sick person touches a doorknob, a handrail, a sink faucet, or any other item, and then you touch it and later touch your eyes, nose or mouth, you might get sick, too, if you have no immunity. In fact if one person gets sick, almost everyone they are close to that has no immunity will also get sick.

People have immunity if they have already had the measles, or if they have been vaccinated against measles.

The best protection against measles is the MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella) vaccine.

Children should get two doses of MMR. Students headed to college who do not have evidence of immunity from measles should also get two doses of MMR. Adults with no evidence of immunity should get at least one

dose of MMR. People 6 months of age and older who will be traveling internationally should also get vaccinated against measles. Talk to your local public health department about travel vaccinations.

The measles vaccine is very effective. People who received two doses of measles vaccine as children are considered to be protected for life, and do not need a booster shot.

A few people – about 3 in 100 – might still get measles after receiving two vaccinations. But the good news is, vaccinated people who still get the virus won’t get nearly as sick, and are less likely to spread the disease to other people.

If you aren’t sure whether you have immunity to measles, try to find your vaccination records or paperwork that shows you were diagnosed with the measles at some time in your life. If you can’t

find proof that you are immune, you should get the MMR vaccine. There is no harm in getting another dose of MMR vaccine, even if you are already immune.

Measles symptoms usually start about 7 – 14 days after you get infected. You may have a high fever, cough, runny nose, and red, watery eyes. Within 2 – 3 days tiny white spots may appear inside your mouth, and 3 – 5 days after you started getting sick, you will get a rash. It usually starts on your face near your hair, and spreads down the body toward your feet. The spots may join together as they spread, and the fever can shoot up over 104°F. After a few days, the fever goes down and the rash goes away.

Measles can be a serious for all age groups, but children under 5 years old and adults older than 20 are more likely to have

complications. Some children get ear infections that can lead to permanent hearing loss. Some people get diarrhea.

About 1 out of each 20 kids with measles will get pneumonia, and about 1 in 1,000 will develop encephalitis (swelling of the Measles may brain). cause pregnant woman to give birth too soon, or have a baby that doesn’t weigh enough.

Measles is passed easily from person to person, so anyone who is not protected against measles is at risk. People who are not vaccinated risk get-

ting infected with measles and spreading it to others, including people who cannot get vaccinated because they are too young or because they have specific health conditions.

Vaccination is the best way to protect yourself, your family, and our community.

For more information or questions please call the Dade County Health Department at 417-6372345. Information will also be posted on Facebook and our website at w w w. d a d e c o u n t y healthdept.com.
