Letter to Editor:
Thanks Senator Richard
I want to thank Senator Ron Richard for his work on Senate Bill 639. It is apparent that women health issues matter to Senator Richard. Because of his leadership, mammography facilities will provide women with vital information about dense breast tissue and breast cancer screening. This bill will undoubtedly save lives and the impact will
be felt for generations to come. I am hopeful that Senator Richard and his colleagues in Jefferson City will take another powerful step for Missourians and vote to expand Medicaid coverage in our state. Over 300,000 Missourians are in the Medigap and are caid currently without health care, including preventa-
tive screenings for breast cancer. These working Missourians have a higher risk of ending up disabled, chronically ill, or terminally ill because Missouri has not elected to expand Medicaid. Tragically, Missourians die who would survive in other states, where they would have access to care. I applaud Senator
Richard for the important step he has taken to protect the mothers and daughters of our state. It’s time to expand Medicaid so that all Missourians can receive the medical care and preventative screenings championed by Senator Richard and his colleagues. Sincerely, Amy Stevens
Letter To The Editor:
Dade County Senior Center Needs Your Help Dear Friends, Once again the Dade County Senior Center is asking for your help. One of our large refrigerator went out and we have to purchase a new one. These units are very costly and we simply do not have the funds. If you would like to help us by making a contribution to this project we would so appreciate
it.
You may drop your contribution by the Center in Greenfield or mail it to the Dade County Senior Center, 58 N. Allison, Greenfield, MO 65661. Thank you for your support. Your contribution will be tax deductible. Sincerely, Babette Terhune Dade County Senior Center Administrator
The Lockwood American Legion, Post 372, is conducting a fundraiser to support the efforts of the local post. They will be selling etched bricks in the front walkway of the Legion. The bricks would be ideal ways of honoring a Veteran in your family or just in showing your support for the Veterans in our community. The etching would be two lines with up to 15 characters each. The cost of each brick will be $50.00. The American Legion is an organization that serves the needs of the Veterans. They support their medical needs, housing, general rights, and overall support as they have returned from combat and as they continue to deploy and return from combat
situations. Our military members have served our country with honor and the American Legion and Auxiliary do all they can to continue to honor them. Please support this fundraising opportunity. You can contact Commander Kevin White or Penny at Town & Country Tire, 232-4266 or Treasurer Harry Beckley, 232-4084. We will be taking orders for bricks until March 15, 2015. That will be the deadline before the etching begins. The American Legion and American Legion Auxiliary deeply appreciate the support of the community! Thank you in advance for being a part of our “Freedom Drive/ Walkway of Honor”.

Hardman Named Teacher of the Year
Taylor Hardman was recently named 2014 Little Sunshine’s Playhouse Teacher of the Year. Hardman, who is from Lamar, is currently teaching at Little Sunshine’s Playhouse III in Springfield. Throughout the year there were over 50 educators nominated at their respective schools as “Teacher of the Month”and 2014 ended with 12 individuals being recognized as “CompanyWide Teacher of the Year.” From those 12, a difficult task began as they narrowed their decision down to three finalists for the recognition. Finalists were Emy Cervantes, Rogers, Arkansas; Jordyn
Aadland, Scottsdale, Arizona; and Hardman. Nominations for each of the finalists aided in helping with the decision of who would be recognized as the best of the best. Hardman had an out pouring of love and ad-
miration from friends, staff and management, that helped her earn Teacher of the Year. Little Sunshine’s Playhouse has recognized her love for her students and feels it is abundantly clear in the way she teaches and loves on her kids every day. According to her school, she is never caught without a smile on her face and it is contagious to those around her, adding that she brings light and happiness to everyone and pushes others to be the best they can be. Hardman said she has been teaching since she could walk, as she has three brothers that were
her first students. She hasn’t stopped teaching since and Little Sunshine’s Playhouse wouldn’t be the same without her! Hardman, a 2013 graduate of Lamar High School, is the daughter of Lance and Michelle Hardman. Grandparents are Nancy and Travis Baker of Lockwood, Missouri; and Lynda and Larry Hardman of Lamar, Missouri. Great grandparents are Bonnie and Howard Peters, Springfield, Missouri.

Happenings at Main Street Baptist Keep Smiling QUESTIONS? Contact Editor Marlene DeClue at 417-637-2712 or greenfieldvedettepublisher@mchsi.com
Main Street Congregation met at 9:30 for Sunday School, then we adjourned to the sanctuary at 10:45 for Worship services. The choir and praise team led us in singing hymns of praise. Special music was also provided by the choir. Rodney’s sermon was on “The Gospel of Second Chances”. The text was Jonah 1:17 and 2:110. Last week we left Jonah being cast into the sea. What was really happening is that Jonah was being entrusted into God’s hands. Jonah 1:17 says “But the Lord provided a great fish to swallow Jonah.” The Scientific explanation: The issue is not was it possible, rather it is: Can God perform a miracle? Notice the text “God appointed.” Does it really matter whether or not
Jonah was swallowed by a fish? Read Matthew 12:39. The Plight of his Servant. It is most likely that Jonah died, and was brought back to life, rather than lived for three days. This would align the event to the passage in Matthew, “so shall the son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.” Jesus truly died for our sins. God quickened Jonah. He did this with Lazarus and others? The Prayer of Jonah: he now finds himself in the belly of the fish with nothing to do... but pray. But let’s take a closer look at this prayer. 1. The Timing of his Prayer: In my distress... 2. The Theology of his Prayer: Jonah felt he had been banished from God. Sin causes us to feel “forsaken” but God has
promised to never leave nor forsake us. 3. The Truth of his Prayer: Imperfect prayers are preferred to the ones never said. Inside the belly of the fish, Jonah finally accepted that he could not save himself and that God was his salvation. The first step in becoming useful to god is to accept His salvation. can like Jonah, you say, “God is my salvation’? The Bible is filled with men and women who received a second chance: Adam and Eve, King David, Peter, The Prodigal Son. In our text, Jonah’s life is spared. But the journey of a second chance is never as good as one that starts with obedience. Also 2nd chances are not guaranteed. Moses did not get a second chance after he sinned at
Kadesh. Ananias and his wife did not get a second chance when they lied about their gift. Don’t expect a second chance...do the right thing the first time. Most of us have received second, even third, fourth and more chances... let’s thank God for these, but let’s not depend on them. Second, don’t wait to pray until disaster is upon you. Recognize only God can save you. Linda Johnson will be doing a Book Study starting Monday the 6th at 10:00 a.m. Ben Keathley and Jackie Reed gave us a report on Youth Quake. They both agreed it was awesome. February 22 will be “Super Sunday School.” We invite you to come and be a part of what God is doing at Main Street. What disciple lived the longest? (John)

first shared a few scripture passages on love. Members were asked to guess the number of jelly beans in a jar and the Natalie asked the group to play a couple of Valentine games. Bea Roncovitts had the most words made from the word Valentine and received a prize. Emma Cassity won the
game naming the most man and woman couples, living or dead and also won a prize. Natalie then shared some tidbits about love, Valentine’s Day, For Valentine’s Day, 5 Little Valentines, To My Valentine, A Valentine verse, God Gives the Very Best, A Warm Love. Phyllis Obert guessed
the closest amount of jelly beans and received the jar of beans and a colorful hand towel. A special gift was given to Shirley Kaiser from Natalie for her many visits to her room from her own room in Good Shepherd. Doris Niehoff then gave some pertinent information to the group.
Immanuel Mary Circle A Valentine’s theme set the events for the February 5 meeting of the Mary Circle held in the Meeting Room of Immanuel Lutheran. Hostwere Janice esses Patterson and Natalie Wehrman. To open the meeting with a devotional, The Power Of Love, Janice
by Sara Johnston Many times along our lifes journeys we encounter joy or sadness. We don’t know what the day may bring. We all have very special memories that we store in our hearts. Those will never go away. Sometimes those become memories ‘life-lines’ for us to hold onto and sometimes those memories may be very difficult to handle because of the pain that we experienced. In reality we have all suffered one way or another. We had to go through days of agony, but it may not have had lasted a long time. So you have a tes-
timony to tell someone who may be experiencing the same thing you might have had. See you are not alone. There’s a scripture in ‘Psalms 118, verse 24’ that reads: ‘This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it!’ I feel that whatever your day brings, Jesus will see you through it. Just reach out to Him and ask for help. Always remember to thank Him that your day was a good day!
Bingo and birthday party at the Nursing Home, that our Circle would be serving the next funeral; that there are more items needed for the college care packages; that the National LWML Convention, Bountiful! SowNourish-Reap, will be in Des Moines, Iowa, in June. The twelve members
present then enjoyed the red velvet cake topped with fresh strawberries, Dove candies, and strawberry-kiwi drink served on red items. Everyone enjoyed the fellowship and Natalie was very appreciative of all Janice’s extra help to her that evening.

There are at least 50% of the population happy today because of snow. All the kids and the teachers but it was a holiday anyway for the schools. Oh well, I guess I am not in that percent as I have to wade out to the dog kennels and water the dogs. Decided to turn the trouble maker loose with the others so I could carry water to just one pan outside the door. My lazy has kicked in along with my cold bones..I wish to thank everyone who have helped and sent such loving wishes my way. I picked up my latest quilt from Wilma and Edith Pennell. I am so happy with it. Dorothy Miller made a fast trip up from Arkansas with Bill to pick up jeans and shirts for some men in her home town. She wanted to beat the storm so it was just lunch and a short visit. We did discuss going to the other side of the state in April to see Sharon Erin who has just lost her son with a heart attack at 41. So sad. Jerry Garner is having his 50th wedding anniversary on May the 2nd, so mark that in the calendar. I also am going to Wagner in May too. Clea, Evelyn and I are planning a road trip to Oklahoma and I just got back from Arkansas. My wheels are going to stay warm it seems. I went to Neosho to play last Saturday and heard a new band. On the Road was the name and they were only a week old but not bad. I hear that the Crawford and Co. group are being asked to sing at Golden Harvest this summer.. Those that heard
them at Ron’s funeral were VERY impressed, Gary. Ron loved that group and tried to follow them when they sang. He was a groupie...They were so kind to sing his favorite song. Tim Darch also sang one of his old favorites and it was a spur of the moment thing. The six white horses to glory land... So appropriate. Bob Gasper is having a birthday so have a Great One, Bob and a great trip. A GREAT Big thank you to Jerry Salzman and Mike for their time and work this week on a big job. My next big project is my kitchen floor but Sears say they are doing it... While we were in Houston, Texas for a month and the two weeks in the Springfield Hospital, my new refrigerator’s ice maker sprayed water on the floor and went under the laminated floor and ceramic tile along with mold. Sears say they will pay for it but it is going to be a job. Somewhere I will have to work them in. I hear that Howard Bennett went through his heart surgery great and is even back to singing. We all love to hear him sing. So sorry to hear about Betty Patterson and I send my best wishes to Stephen and Chris. She was the last of 16 children. She had a lot of nieces and nephews who will miss her, too. Just a little question. Has anyone been to Noel lately to see who has moved in there and work at the Tyson plant? Just wondering. Stay warm and safe ...
Trudell News by Blanche Trudell
Sunday, February 8th, we had a guest speaker, John Brooks, from Springfield. He honored us with his grandson, Jack Brooks and his wife, Rebecca. He is such a great man and just as good of a speaker. Following the service, we had a pot luck dinner and visited with everyone. That was just as inspiring as was the rest of the morning service. One of our members, Joan Cox, fell down her basement stairs and fractured two of her vertebra. She and her son, Todd, are good friends of John Brooks, but she was still in the hospital and they missed the morning service. She is now back to Stockton doing rehab, in the nursing home, where her son, Todd, works, and she hopes to be home soon. Monday, our son-inlaw, Thad Burrows, had eye surgery to repair the detached retina. It was the 2nd surgery in this eye. The first one seemed to be doing good but the eye started to get blurred. We and his doctor feel this will take care of the problem and he will be able to see good again. Tuesday, we enjoyed the company of Nancy Shanahan and John Sherman for the evening meal; then, played cards until Nancy had to leave, so she could get up and go
to work Wednesday. Wednesday, Jessica and Dwayne Pecor, Carol and Alan Odell came over for lunch and a birthday dinner for Jessica. It wasn’t her birthday but she couldn’t get off on Friday so we had it early. Shannon, her friend, had to work so I sent him food so they could celebrate together. Dwayne had a lot of fun calling me his GREAT Grandma. He is getting so big and so cute. Thursday, I got a surprise call from Donna and Erick Worthington. They were coming to Stockton and wanted us (Joe and I) to meet them and go to dinner. We hadn’t gotten to see them since Jerry Little passed away last August. They were the couple that came to help Joe and I look after him. We met them at the Community of Christ, Church and visited for a couple of hours. We went to eat at Subway, then they needed to go to the storage unit before leaving to go back to Independence where they now reside. It was good to see them. 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! God Bless America!

Lockwood News by Retha Jones
This week I’m starting my news a bit different. Hope you enjoy! Did you ever see......... A tissue Box? A Home Run? A ball point? a socking run? A horse fly? A head band? A clock tick? A board walk? A newspaper stand? We’ve never seen a basket brawl... Perhaps you have guessed, I have very little news this week. I could make up news, that could get me in trouble so I better do the best I can and that’s it! Last Saturday was a beautiful day. I enjoyed soaking in the sun while sitting in the swing with my cats around me, they too liked the sun. To add to my day, David and Donna Kennedy of Springfield visited me in the afternoon. She always brings me something, this time a Russell Stover candy bar.. and I had the package from Nancy and Paul in Anchorage of some warm clothes with the filler being candy. How nice to have family even if they live far away. Sunday was another nice day. I was able to attend church. I went with my neighbors, Ramona, my little neighbor boy, Nathan, has been sick all week with Strep throat. He’s really been a sick boy. Now the weather is to really to get cold, in the future, zero. Should we complain, no! Be thankful we’re not in the eastern part of the country or on the west coast. I’ll be happy here in the middle! Wednesday night, the United Methodist Women ( UMU) met at the church. Hostesses were Ruth Neill and Karrie Sands. I felt it wise to stay home at night. C.W. McGuire continues
to improve, and he’s working hard on coming home, sometime. Still at Omaha, Nebraska. Madge T. continues at Good Shepherd Nursing Home. Each day she is taken to Joplin for her treatments so she knows what being tired is. Keep these and others you know in your prayers. And what a joy it is to see Cletis McConnell is able to be out taking some photo’s. Welcome back! I was not aware of his heart attack til long after he had it. Here’s hoping all had a nice Valentines Day. Some of the elementary grades will have their Valentines Day party tomorrow. (Friday afternoon.) When I was in grade school (one room) Valentines Day was a big day we looked forward to. Each one had a decorated box ready for friends to put their Valentines in. I have Valentines John gave me when we were in the lower grades. I was always his girl, it took me some time before I noticed him! When he ask my best girl friend for a date, that did not set well with me! When he passed away June of 2012 in 3 months we would have celebrated 70 years of marriage. I have been sorting through photos and newspaper clippings and throwing away. One of interest was a gathering of Vedette correspondents, at that time there was 14, I was one of them. I remember Lesia Jones writing Antioch-Pilgrim news and still does. At this meeting her daughter, Kelbey, was a baby. That was back in August of 1992. On the back of this was a full page of Dadeville News by Margaret Speight, a gifted writer. Marlene DeClue was Editor/General Manager at that time and still is today! See you next week!
West Side News by Darlene Logan
As I’m looking at people shoveling all that snow in the East, I’m glad we don’t have that to deal with here. We haven’t had much snow this winter, but we’ve had plenty of cold days. I’ve burned a lot of wood in my stove. We need a break. Utilities are going up, also insurance, groceries and now gasoline, when will it stop! I just finished writing a story about some memories in my growing up days. I sent it in to be put in that book they want to publish about called “Hometown Memories”. Everyone, I think, in Southwest Missouri got an invitation in the mail to do this. A few years ago, I wrote a 28 page, (typed) story of my memories titled, “Growing up in the Valley.” I made copies for my family. The one I wrote for the book is much shorter. I’m thinking if we could go back and live more like we did before all this technology we could save money. A lot of money is wasted on things we don’t need. Everyone can plant a garden, even if it is in big pots on your back porch. A lot of people plant their lettuce on Valentine’s Day. It might be a little chilly to do that this year. It seems every morning when I turn on the TV to watch the ‘Today Show’ and the news, there is always some tragic thing has happened. This morning it was hard to hear of Bob Simon’s death from a car wreck. It was also hard to hear Brian Williams had made a mistake in broadcasting and was suspended for 6 months. How disappointing is that! We’ve all watched those two good news reporters for years! Our community was saddened at the death of Kay Perriman January 31st. Kay had been ill for some time, and was cared for at home by her family. Kay’s daughter, Cindy, would fly
home from Torrance, California often, where she lives, to help her family care for their mother. They will all miss her and they have my sympathy. A few years ago, the late J W Taylor, my music companion, and I visited her often. She was J W’s sister, and my friend. I had just been home one day from Illinois, when I learned she was gravely ill. She passed away the next day. My last memory of Kay was when her daughter, Vivian and I took her to the table for lunch. Vivian had made beans, corn bread and fried potatoes for her. Guess what? I pulled up a chair and ate with her. The dinner was so good. I rode to Illinois with my cousin to attend my almost 90-year-old cousin’s funeral January 28th. The trip went well, no snow, but ‘cold’ and ‘windy’. Miller’s mayor, Dennis Harris, is now home from the hospital. He has been very ill. We missed him at the Legion meeting this month. I still cook for them. I, (Darlene), am taking a series of chiropractic treatments. I’ve had back problems for years, but it got really painful from a pinched nerve. Our sympathy goes out to the family of Mary Regehr. She was a very nice lady. A big ‘congratulations’ to Cale Tennis on winning the Miller spelling bee for the second time. Good luck. Cale. at Joplin in March! My sympathy goes out to Gail Leaming who lost her husband, Ron, recently. I was in Illinois and couldn’t attend his funeral. I hope Gail will continue to write her article, ForgetMe-Nots, for the Vedette Newspaper.

BRUTUS WINS CONGRESSIONAL MEDAL OF HONOR Animal intelligence and bonding with humans is amazing. Brutus is a Military K-9 part Boxer, part Mastiff and weighs in a about 210 pounds. Brutus received the Congressional Medal of Honor recently for his tour in the Mideast. His handler and four other soliders were taken hostage by insurgents but his handler communicated with Brutus by sign language and told him to go away, but come back and find him later. The enemy paid no attention to Brutus. He came back later that night and killed two guards. He then jumped against one of the doors several times {the solders were being held in an old warehouse} until it opened. He went in, untied his handler and they all escaped. He was the first K-9 to receive this honor. FROM AN OLDER MY TURN READER Can you remember these: Sugar Daddy Candy on a stick, bronzed baby shoes, Smith Brothers Black Cough Drops 10 cents, Little Rascals, poloraid cameras, Le Pages Glue, panty hose, mimeograph copy machines, Art Linkletter’s Show Kids Say the Darnest Things, transister radios, Pixie Pic Up Stixs, Toni perms, jacks, wooden school desks, Evening in Paris perfume, sock hop dances, Ricky Nelson, your grandmaw wearing an apron when cooking you fried chicken, skating rinks, drive-in movies, pinball machines? THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK I not only have a screw loose; I can’t find the screwdriver. How did the farmer
meet his wife? He TRACTOR HER DOWN. My hands may be tiny but I have grandma wrapped around my finger. MY TURN MISC Seven townships in Dade County: North Morgan, Polk, Sac, Pilgrim, Washington, Smith and South did not have the necessary four persons to file for township offices, so the seven will be on the ballot in April of 2015 and names will have to be written in. All seven will have to pay for the cost of the election. Maybe they should merge or combine with a township that has a full slate of officers. A veteran retired school superintendent who administered a small rural district in the area doesn’t see the savings in a 4-day week for schools. No decision yet on the Miller and Stockton schools going to 4 days in 2015. In another new item about Missouri schools, Missouri State Auditor Tom Schweich (R) who is running for Governor of Missouri in 2016 stated that part of his platforms would be to provide financial help to rural school districts in Missouri who voluntary consolidate. There are over 525 school districts in Missouri with 90 school districts having less than 100 students enrolled in grades 9 thru 12. Missouri State Representative Mike Kelly (R) Lamar Dist 127 has introduced HJR 38 that would be voted on by the citizens of Missouri to eliminate DayLight Savings time in Missouri starting in March 2017. The old Barton County Hospital in Lamar is for sale for $139,000.

Antioch Pilgrim News by Lesia Jones QUESTIONS? Contact Editor Marlene DeClue at 417-637-2712 or greenfieldvedettepublisher@mchsi.com
On Friday night, Kim and I enjoyed supper at Bamboo Garden in Mt. Vernon. We sat next to Dennis and Robbie Delk and another couple. Saw several people there we knew. Everyone is concerned about Dustin. There has been so many acts of kindness shown during this time. Afterwards, we went to see Dustin and family and visited for a short time. On Thursday night of last week, grandma, Betty Vandegrift, took supper to grandson, Dustin Jones and family. Made him a blueberry cobbler and Lucille Franklin also sent some goodies. We will put the weight back on him. The children are enjoying all the special treats. Saturday morning, breakfast guests were Asa Bowles, Abby and Jacob Jones. The guys were working cattle. Abby and I headed to Springfield to find nursery things. I got her home by 7. I think she forgot the way I shopped. Jacob said she hit the bed quickly. My motto is shop til you drop and she dropped. Our Sunday, breakfast visitors were Carol Jones, Abby and Jacob
Jones. Working cattle this time for Asa. We told Asa we would be over for biscuits and gravy. He said he could offer us a bowl of cereal. We ate at our house. Took another tour of their house. It’s all boxed in and part of the siding is on, the windows in. Waiting for the doors. They should be in this week. All the planning. She has been trying out different colors of paint. She has lots of walls to cover. She does not like heights, so she looked up to the ceiling at goes up to the second floor and told me that was mine. Guess she figures I will have less chance of falling off the ladder. Good ole mom. Afterwards, Kim got some good barnyard dirt and we got our garden spot all cleaned up and added some fresh dirt and to all my flower pots and put lime in it, also. I am ready to plant. Ha!! Played outside and it was so wonderful. Dustin and Melinda and family enjoyed visiting in the Joel and Amanda Gray’s home on Saturday night. I was going to get the kids but they were already gone. On Sunday night,
Dustin and Melinda had his brother, Jacob and Abby Jones and sister, Kelbey and Asa Bowles over for supper. Patsy Hargis and Carmen Baker were over at Kelbey’s over the weekend looking at the new house. I wonder how many houses we could build to get it just the way we want it? Can’t get one big enough when you have children, but when they move away you don’t need all the room. Just wish the kitchen/living room was bigger as they bring more home. Never enough storage and I am not one to keep much stuff, but it does add up over the years. Carol Jones enjoyed a quail supper on Tuesday night in the home of her grandson, Dustin Jones and family. Our deepest sympathy to the family of Avanelle Wilson. She would call and visit with me sometimes. She had such fond memories of living in the Pilgrim area. We would talk about the different families that had lived in this area. She said she would always call Pilgrim her home. She was always so sweet and kind when she called.
Betty Jones visited in the home of Carol Jones on Sunday after church. On Thursday night, Kim attended the coon hunter club meeting at Greenfield. They had 31 present. John Myers brought a pot of chili and Kim took a pot of vegetable soup, big pan of cornbread. I made him cookies and Carol made him cookies. Kenny Hasting brought a peach cobbler. And nothing was left. After all that, do you really think they went out coon hunting?? I know they had a good time sitting around, visiting and then maybe felt guilty and went hunting. Boy, was it cold. I went home and cleaned all evening. Got the basement and upstairs cleaned including both refrigerators. I was in a throwing away mood. Bobby Moore is still smiling from the retirement party that the Everton School gave him. So many friends and family there to help him celebrate. The lunch room was decorated so cute with tool boxes on each table. Lots of nice refreshments/drinks. Lots of going down memory
lane. Was so good to see Bobby’s mother, Helen Moore, there. She looked so good along with Bobby’s three sisters. I believe they run in a pack now. Isn’t that great. Bobby will be dearly missed by so many. After 11 ½ years there, they are more like family. Bobby has so much energy. He has already retired once from Empire Electric in Joplin. Laura didn’t have enough honey do jobs to keep him home, so he went back to work. They will now enjoy some quiet time and some traveling to see their precious grandchildren that all live out of state. Laura and Bobby will celebrate 50 years of marriage on February 20, 2015 and Bobby will celebrate his 70th birthday. The Energizer Bunny is still going strong. Any way, they both enjoy each and every day . Enjoyed a phone call on Thursday night from cousin, Donna Wright. She said that her brother, Denny Jones and herself were coming to Dustin’s benefit and spending the night with us. I told her we would party all night
long. She was calling to get the low down on Dusty and see what all was going on. Checking in on the families. I told we her on Sunday would make the rounds and do some sight seeing before we send them home. I am already planning that big country breakfast. Good times will be rolling. Kelbey and Asa Bowles went out for their Valentine Supper on Thursday night. They ended up at PFI and Asa got him a new cowboy hat. It’s a small world some of the people we meet in our lives. I do hope each of you got a special little treat for Valentine’s. I get a wonderful treat everyday when I think of my wonderful children, in- laws and those precious grandbabies. So lucky to have been loved all my life and it continues. That would be my mother, Betty Vandegrift, that started that love train. Thanks, mom and it keeps right on going. Mom has circled her roots in around a lot of family.

Wishing you all a wonderful Birthday!!! Anniversaries: February 22nd Lawrence & Tamara Lone 18 yrs, 23rd-Norman & Betty Wallen 63 yrs. Wishing you many more together!! In Memory: Jeannie DeHart 2-21-2004, Farmer Boyd 2-24-2011 and Bob Blackwell 2-252004. Gone but not forgotten. I want to extend sympathy to all those who have lost loved ones recently. Avanelle Wilson, 91, will be dearly missed by all those who knew her. She always had a smile on her face when you saw her at the Backwoods and loved for you to stop by her table and visit. Several of the railroaders went to the memorial on Sunday afternoon for J.D. Craker, 68, formerly of Greenfield. J.D. worked out of the So Town Depot for many years and had moved to Mt. Vernon recently. He will be dearly missed by his wife, Trudy and their four children & families. Was shocked to get word over the weekend
that Jerry Jack, formerly of Greenfield, passed away. He was a 1964 GHS graduate. He leaves behind his wife, Jennifer; one daughter, Charlotte; two sons, Scott & Eric; and one brother, Terry Jack. I want to congratulate new parents, Jonny Gray & Lisa Clabough on the arrival of a baby girl, Atlee Blake. She was born on February 9 and tipped the scales at 7 lbs, 4 oz and was 19 inches long. She is being smothered with kisses from her two big brothers who adore her. I want to congratulate Madi Stiles and Mason Welsh who got engaged on Valentine's Day. Now that's how you really celebrate the love day!! I saw where lots of women got some beautiful flowers over the weekend and enjoyed being pampered for a day. Way to go, guys and some gals treated their men awful special, too!!! I want to also congratulate Kris & Sarah Huchteman on getting married on January 20th. We wish them many years of happiness together. Last Monday was suppose to be a pretty nice day but it was one cold breezy day and we were working Dad's cattle. Needless to say we were all pretty cold by noon. We want to thank our helpers, Rick & Logan Baker, Dalton & Tracy Hargis, Dakota Friend & Harvey Campbell. We got them all
worked but not without a few tears. It was so different without Dad being there, but I know he was watching over us. Winton Hargis had to be rushed to the hospital Monday morning and spent most of the week at Mercy. They ran lots of test before moving him to the Lockwood Nursing Home to regain his strength back. I went up on Tuesday and visited with him and Deann after I had been to see my mole doctor. Jack Killingsworth is back in the hospital, being treated for pneumonia and we wish both these guys a speedy recovery. Eunice Killingsworth broke her back last week lacing her shoe up and isn't able to see Jack right now. She is in a lot of pain and staying home in bed. Wishing her some pain free days soon. Violet Campbell visited Patsy last Tuesday and they enjoyed supper
together. I stopped by on my way home from Springfield and got to sample some of it, too. Last Monday night, one of Violet's granddaughters, Shantel, had to be rushed to the hospital having trouble breathing & sore throat. Turned out she had bronchitis. Wishing her a speedy recovery. In Sunday's paper, Mom saw where Virginia "Pat" Delano was celebrating her 99th birthday. This is who Mom & Dad bought the home place off of back in 1957. She says without the help of Pat and her husband Bill they wouldn't have made it. Very sweet people. Mom & I were surprised with flowers & a visit from son, Colt Hawkins, on Thursday. We had a good visit but missed little Lucy who was having her Valentine's party at pre-school that day. Thursday night, Rick & I went to Joplin to
watch grandson, Skyler, play basketball. On Saturday, we went to Willard to watch the little ones play. Rick got off easy for Valentine’s Day by taking me to McDonald's for lunch. After we got back from the games, Mom & I spent the rest of the night doing what we love, going to the auction. After that, we enjoyed

Lockwood Girls Defeat Miller, Golden City Submitted by Kirk Neill
The Lockwood Lady Tigers ran their record to 17-5 after winning two conference games over Miller and Golden City. At Miller, the Lady Tigers jumped out to a big early lead, but although Miller appeared to come out flat, an opportunity for a bigger lead was squandered by misses on a few open shots and missed free throws. Still, a Lockwood 3016 halftime lead seemed comfortable. But once the third quarter started, Miller came alive and got themselves back in the game. With the score 38-35 and two minutes remaining in the game, Lockwood, having only scored 8 points in 2 quarters, got
a key basket by Alexis Byrnes to stretch the lead enough that the Lady Tigers hung on for a 42-40 win. Jessica Nentrup led the scoring with 14 points. At Golden City, the Lady Tigers built an early lead and cruised to a 6027 win over the Lady Eagles. Senior Olivia Finley led with 17 points and Rylee Neill added 16. A victory over a young Liberal squad would set up a big game for SRVC conference title at Jasper on Friday, February 20. Also, due to weather, Lockwood will host a tough 17-7 Blue Eye team on Thursday, February 19. The Lady Tigers are seeded third in their district, with Jasper being the top seed.
