Lockwood Tigers Finish Regular Season 19-6

With the inclement weather and upcoming district tournament, the Lockwood Lady Tigers were forced to finish the regular season with 3 games on consecutive days.

On Wednesday, 2/18, Lockwood hosted Liberal. The young Bulldog team has struggled all season with more experienced teams and this game was no different.

Lockwood, led by Rylee Neill with 17 points and Alexis Byrnes with 13 points, defeated Liberal 53-17.

It was senior night for 3 standout players, 4-year starters Byrnes and Olivia Nentrup, and 2-year starter Jessica Nentrup.

However, due to the schedule changes, the

seniors’ last game on their home floor would be the next afternoon vs. Blue Eye. The visitors from near the Missouri/ Arkansas line gave the Lady Tigers all they could handle. Led by Byrnes’ 17 points and Olivia Finley’s 14 points, a last second half-court 3-pointer by Blue Eye left the visitors 1 point short, and Lockwood escaped with a 4443 win.

The 3rd game in 3 days was a visit to conference leader 23-1 Jasper. A win would earn the Lady Tigers a share of the SRVC title. In a hard fought first half Jasper took a 23-20 lead to the locker room. Jessica Nentrup kept the Lady tigers close with 11 of her 19

points the first half.

At the beginning of the second half Olivia Nentrup scored 4 quick points to briefly put the Lady Tigers in the lead.

Jasper quickly reasserted control and led for most of the second half. A late rush by Lockwood cut the lead to one point with one minute left. But the game was decided when Lockwood missed a tying 3-point attempt. A Jasper player rebounded, was fouled, and made the 2 free throws for a final score of 59-54.

The 19-6 Lady Tigers advanced to the district at Butler, where they were seeded 3rd and played 6th seeded Greenfield on Tuesday in the first round.

Lockwood Coach Kara Kinney Wins 100th Game

By Bob Jackson Correspondent Lockwood High School girls basketball coach, Kara Kinney, won her 100th game with a 4443 win over Blue Eye at Lockwood.

She is in her 8th year of coaching at Lockwood.

She is a Lamar High School grad and went to college at Pittsburg State University.

Prior to coaching at Lockwood, she coached four years at Wyandotte, Oklahoma. She teaches physcial education at Lockwood Elementray School.

This year’s team has a 19-6 record {the best record in the 8 years} and a 7-2 record in the SRVC. The two losses this

year came to Pierce City and Jasper. The Tigers are seeded 3rd in the Class 2 District at Butler and will have to beat Archie and Jasper to advance to more state play.

65th Wedding Anniversary

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

In honor of the 65th wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Dwain and Nadine Hughes, their children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren request the pleasure of your company at a reception on Sunday, March 8, 2015, from one-thirty until three-thirty in the afternoon in the fellowship hall of the First Christian Church in Greenfield, Missouri.

On March 4, 1950, Miss Nadine Batten became the bride of Dwain Hughes in an informal double-ring ceremony in the home of the bride’s parents in Pennsboro, Missouri, with the Reverend E.L. Devore of Liberal, Missouri, officiating.

Parents of the couple were Mr. and Mrs. Homer and Myrtle Allison Batten of Pennsboro and Mr. and Mrs. Noel and Marie Hughes of Johnson Greenfield.

Mr. and Mrs. Eugene and Amy Lee Allison attended the bride and groom as matron-ofhonor and best man.

Dwain and Nadine have made the centennial family farm and the communities of Pennsboro and Greenfield their home for the past sixtyfive years. They have

been blessed with good health, good friends and a lifetime of special memories shared with family and friends.

With love, gratitude and pride, Dwain and Nadine’s children, Mr. and Mrs. Randy and Marcia Rader of Butler, Missouri and Mr. and Mrs. David and Linda Andrews of Branson, Missouri; their grandchildren, Mr. and Mrs. Eric and Brooke Andrews of Benton, Arkansas, Mr. and Mrs. Trent and Kristen Diehl of Butler, Mr. and Mrs. Michael and Kellie

Your presence is their gift.

Things don’t slow down for me, it seems, even with the bumps in life.

The third inspection on my floors is coming up this Monday and hopefully it will be decided what is going to be done. Not only my kitchen floor but one wall and the dining room will be torn out and repaired.

It just keeps going on and on.

On top of that, I fell and have a stress fracture on my right foot. Believe it or not, it is really healing fast. No cast was the big thing, but my doctor only wanted to know if I had fallen on my shoulder. I told him no, and that I even had a big glass pot in my hands and didn’t break that either.

I had a day that seemed a week long working with the dogs. It seems that a dog showed up in Reeds Springs, Missouri, with one of Ron’s dog’s collar on it and the one that found it called and even deliv-

ered it to Hoods for Kamala and I to pick up.

It was one that Russ had sold in December.

The owner didn’t want to pay the ten dollars that I had paid to have it brought to Hoods. So, I paid him back his money and Russ has it already delivered to St. Louis to another buyer.

Kamala moved my dogs up to the house so I wouldn’t have to walk to the kennels plus they are a lot warmer and being spoiled a lot more.

I have to tell you about all the scams I have been receiving.

The first was a phone call from(suppose to be) my grandson in jail in St. Louis for a DUI. They knew he had a new car, my address, and how far I was from a Walgreens.

They wanted 1,000 dollars. I talked them down to 500 because it was a first time offense. Then, I made them explain how a moneypack worked at Walgreens. They told me that since he had hit a diplomat’s car this had to

be a gag order and I couldn’t tell anyone.

As soon as I hung up, I contacted his mother and my grandson to tell them about it (so much for the gag order, huh?)

Then I went to Walgreens to follow up on a moneypack (I was curious about what they looked like). The girl in Walgreens said 99% of the orders from that store were scams.

That the store in Carthage and one other one refused to sell them anymore because so many people had lost money there.

I went on to the grocery store and my phone rang. I was standing in line with a lot of people behind me, but I asked the male clerk to pretend to be a lawyer and tell the scammers that he would take over the case and not to bother me again. You should have seen the jaws drop on the people in line when he did that and then started to laughing when he said they hung up.

This week I got a no-

Dear Editor, It seems that everyone who mentions the debt or bills paid by the county, state, or the federal government say they have to pay.

Everyone should remember “they” don’t have any money, the taxpayers are the ones who

pay any debt or bill. Paying to place an item on the ballot is paid for by taxpayers. The county has no money, no government has any money, except the taxpayers.

Why is it so hard to say the taxpayers have to pay? There was a good article in a local paper ex-

The schools are held at MU research centers of the College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources. Each MU farm has plots being grazed for demonstrations.

Dates, places and local contacts are: March 30. Southwest Center, 145148 Highway H, Mount Vernon; Carla Rathmann, 417-466-2148.

March 31. Wurdack Farm, 164 Bales Road, Cook Station; Will McClain, 573-2135.

April 1. Beef Research and Teaching Farm (South Farm), 5151 Old Millers Road, Columbia; Lena Johnson, 573-8827327.

April 2. Forage Systems Research Center, 21262 Genoa Road, Linneus; FSRC, 660-895-5121.

All start at 9 a.m. and end at 5 p.m. Enrollment is limited at each site. Call early. The fee includes lunch and breaks.

The schools are organized by the Alliance for Grassland Renewal.

The group, formed in Missouri, involves all interested in growing fescue. That includes all companies with new varieties, MU Extension, seed testers, farmers and government.

Novel endophyte has been known and used for years. “Now seed is widely available and tested,” Roberts says.

“Successful changes can be made.”

School topics range from the economic loss, statewide, to how to set a no-till drill. The replacement requires a yearlong plan. It not only kills the growing K-31 fescue but also new seedlings emerging from the soil seed bank after the cover is killed.

If the plan is not followed, the old seed emerges and crowds out the new varieties, Roberts says. “Plowing does not work. One spray does not work. Those who do it right are big winners.”

The biggest winners are farmers who use the new high-production grass.

Darrel Franson, Mount Vernon beef farmer, has been on the road speaking to farmers.

He moved to southwestern Missouri from Minnesota. Immediately his cattle faltered. They were naïve to the toxic fescue.

No one had told Franson of the No. 1 grazing hazard in Missouri.

Now he tells all who will listen. He found that replacement costs were paid off in just over two years, with reduced losses.

He took 10 years to replace fescue, pasture by pasture, on his farm.

He and farmer, Curtis Schallert, of Purdy, will speak, in addition to others from the industry.

For more than 100 years, University of Missouri Extension has extended university-based knowledge beyond the campus into all counties of the state. In doing so, extension has strengthened families, businesses and communities.

Trudell News

by Blanche Trudell

This week has been a cold one. We had 4 ½ “ of snow the first round then the second brought 3” more. Most of it is still on the ground.

It is beautiful and it has brought out a lot of wild animals. We had a baby opossum on the front porch stealing out of the bird feeders. Lots of tracks of, guess what, in the snow. Yesterday we saw the deer eating in the lowlands and drinking out of the pond.

Joe went over and checked out the Jerry Little farm, and set fire to a brush pile that he had told the family he would do. When he felt sure there wouldn’t be any danger of catching anything else on fire, even in all the snow, he watched it until it was burned down.

Last Sunday, I went to a baby shower for Jessica Colbert, and there were over 44 people there. I helped Tiffany Tipper, Jessica’s mother, with all the games, set up the food, decorated and even helped with several other things. I guess we all can find something to do if we just try to help.

Jessica got a lot of beautiful things, and even a high chair that made into a rocking horse, baby table and a couple more things. I just don’t re-

member all of the wonderful things. Of course, I forgot my camera, so no pictures (SORRY).

At least the bad weather held off until the shower was over.

Thursday, Joe and I went to Springfield and got some stuff we needed, before the next storm. It was really cold, -5 degrees last night, and maybe we will get some ICE Friday. I hope the forecast is all wrong.

Our dog, Molly, has started growing the hair back. I had her shaved last summer and the hair didn't ever grow back.

The vet put her on some thyroid meds and it is finally starting to grow back, and even getting a shine on it. Well, I learn something new all the time.

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. Are out of a home and in the cold!

Have a wonderful year!

And God Bless America!

News From Sharon Baptist Church Submitted by Ken Roller, Pastor

Men of the church prepared and served a Valentine’s Day meal for all the ladies of the congregation on Saturday evening, February 14. The special occasion was well attended. love of God and love of each other provided the theme for this event. After the dinner, John Roller, worship leader at First Baptist Church, Dadeville and his wife Rebecca, provided music for the group.

Tom Stack is challenging children in the church to learn the first chapter of Genesis, with special awards awaiting those who do. Adults are encouraged to also memorize this foundational first chapter of the Bible.

Preparations are well

underway for a PreEaster spiritual revival, starting Sunday morning, March 29, and concluding Wednesday evening, April 1. Four different pastors from the area will bring the messages, and special music groups will sing. In addition to the pastors, on Monday evening, March 30, a special college team from Southwest Baptist University will lead. All evening services will begin at 7 p.m. We ask our readers to pray for them, as we desire not only Sharon church, but others in our area, to experience special renewal in our relationship with God. Our theme will echo Psalm 65:6: “Will you not revive us again, O Lord, that Your people may rejoice in You?”

Glad Tidings Assemble Offers Transportation Knowing that we have many Senior Citizens in our community and realizing that cold weather is coming, if you don’t have transportation, or even if you do and do not want the hassle of cleaning of windshields or warming up your car, Glad Tidings offers you a free ride

back and forth to Glad Tidings each Sunday morning and evening on their warm church bus.

If you are out there and would like to take advantage of this opportunity, please call Pastor Ron Dykes at 417-637-2988 or 417425-0188.

“Just Keep On Keeping On” Submittedby Sara Johnston

Here’s a poem from ‘157 Select Poems’ by Boyd Hatford, Greentop, MO (Year unknown).

“If the day looks kinder gloomy, An’ your chances kinder slim!

If the situation’s puzzlin’ An’ the prospect’s awful grim, An’ perplexities keep pressin’ Till all hope is nearly gone, Jus’ bristle up an’ grit your teeth An’ keep on keepin on.

Fumin’ never wins a fight, An’ fretting’ never pays There aint no good of broodin’ in pessimistic These ways--Smile just kinder

cheerfully When hope is nearly gone, An’ bristle up an’ grit your teeth, An’ keep on keepin on.

There aint no use in growlin’ An’ grumblin’ all the time, When music’s ringing everywhere An’ everything’s a rhyme--Jus’ keep on smilin’ cheerfully, If hope is nearly gone An’ bristle up an’ grit your teeth, And keep on keepin’ on.”

This poem was from an old poem book I found recommends a very basic truth. That life is about perseverance and faith given to us by “Our Maker” that sees us through life.

BASKETBALL RESULTS GREENFIELD: Winter weather stopped the Diamond Greenfield game. No word on makeup.

On senior afternoon 2-12-15, the Wildcats hosted Miller with the girls losing 62-48 and the boys winning on a last second layup 70-68.

Greenfield played in the Class 2 District at Butler earlier in the week with the girls facing Lockwood and the boys meeting Jasper in first round games.

Winter weather and schools out of session prevented several regular season games from being played and they may not be made up as district play began this week with some teams seasons over.

In two key SRVC games, the Pierce City boys beat Miller and won the league title and the Jasper girls beat Lockwood 59-54 to win the championship.

Class 1 District play got underway in Willard on 2-21-15.

Both Dadeville teams won first round games but face powerful and state ranked Walnut Grove in semifinal action.

The season came to an end for the Everton teams as the girls lost to Verona and the boys lost to Dadeville.

The Class 2 District at Butler played games on Monday and Tuesday this week with semifinal games Wednesday and Thrusday. Finals could match Lockwood and 1st seeded Jasper on the girls side and the Lockwood boys or the Greenfield boys vs Rich Hill on Saturday Feburary 28, 2015.

Boys finals are at 2:00 pm and the girls at 3:30 pm. The second round of state action in Class 2 will be in Lee’s Summit, Missouri on Saturday, March

The Tigers and Eagles had beaten GHS in games earlier this season. Semifinal games are 2-25-15 and 2-26-15.

Finals at Butler are Saturday 2-28-15.

Have you ever wondered why politicians hardly ever leave office willingly? There are a few who do a good job and like what they do, while there are many more who like what they think is prestige and the pay.

There are a few who like the convenience, hours, and location. There are too many who can’t get a job any where else and have proven they are not capable of performing a real job. There are some who know they won’t be fired or lose their job until the end of their term.

There are a few who have an agenda of their own and a very few who consider it was their civic duty. We know that for a fact by looking at the past!

There are many capable people who think that being an elected official is beneath their dignity.

There are a lot of citizens who wonder why so many officials or elected officials go unchallenged come election time. The answer is simple in many cases, the only ones who are capable and would do a good job already have a better job and can make a

lot more money performing other, sometimes related vocations.

Locally, the circuit clerk, county clerk and assessor do a commendable job. There are others who leave a lot to be desired. There are some offices in my humble opinion that should not exist or should be consolidated. The answer or comment made when the question of why not consolidate is asked is “it’s always been that way”!

Have you noticed any difference since collector and treasurer was consolidated? There are positions that should be consolidated at all levels of government. It’s like the campaign ad on amendment three (one size fits all) it never works but it cost the taxpayers a lot of money for absolutely nothing but “it’s always been that way”!

Don’t change anything, leave it like it is, you know, model T era, as some say! As Winston Churchill once said, it is good to have enemies because it means you have stood for something in your life time!

Food For Thought

Greenfield #15 Robin Fare

LOCKWOOD: The Tiger teams got in 5 games last week. The boys beat Liberal and in an overtime contest at Jasper, took the Eagles 7772 with five tiger players scoring in double figures to improve to 16-9 for the season.

The girls smacked Liberal 53-17 and edged Blue Eyes 44-43 but lost to league champ Jasper 5954.

The girls record is 196, 7-2 in the SRVC. The win over Blue Eye was the 100th for Tiger Coach Kara Kinney.

DADEVILLE: No scores on regular season games Dadeville played but both Bearcat teams

won games in district play on 2-21-15. The boys beat Everton 78-69 and the girls whipped Golden City 50-45.

EVERTON: The Tiger teams played in the Class 1 District at Willard and the boys lost to Dadeville 78-69 and the girls fell to Verona 47-31, ending the long season for Everton.

MILLER: The Cardinals played 4 games losing 3. The boys lost to League champ Pierce City 63-58 and then were edged by Greenfield 7068.

The girls also lost to Pierce City but racked Greenfield 62-48. Both Miller teams play in the Class 2 District at Pierce City.

ASH GROVE: The boys played Marionville in a regular season game and lost 58-53. The girls played two of the best conference teams and lost both, 67-45 to Skyline and 68-39 to Marionville. Both Ash Grove teams played in the Class 3 District at Strafford SPORTS QUESTION: Why do Greenfield, Lockwood and Jasper have to travel over 70 miles to Butler, Missouri, to play in a Class 2 District basketball matchup when a Class 2 District at Pierce City would have been closer for players and fans?

Thank You!

GYAA Old Timers Basketball Tournament We are pleased to announce our annual old timers tournament is scheduled for Friday night, March 13th and all day Saturday , March 14th.

This year’s funds raised go toward the Bad Boy mower purchased by the GYAA late last year.

Last fall, the last time we mowed at the ball fields, the tractor mower broke. The tractor still runs, but is no longer able to mow. We were able to pay $1,000.00 down and we still owe $3,000.00 on the new mower.

noon and ending at 8:00 p.m.

Concessions will be provided by Get Ya Some BBQ, ran by Jason Summers.

For the first time we will be charging $1.00 admission at the front door for everyone 18 and older. This is a one time cost and will cover both days. We don’t like to do this but with the additional cost of the mower, we are low on funds for the

Out for supper on Friday night at the Mexican place in Mt. Vernon.

Came home and crashed from eating too much.

Paul Clabough was taken to the hospital and spent a few days in ICU. He is in a room now, but still running tests. Wishing him a speedy recovery. At this time, Paul is still in the hospital. They have run several tests and still checking him out.

On Saturday morning, Jacob, Abby, Kelbey and Asa all came for breakfast. Kelbey and I went and visited with Abby for a while, then I took Kelbey home.

We went through her house again and going over all the different things to add on, different choices, maybe this or not.

Then, I came home and worked on taxes.

Kim came home and said Wade wanted to spend the night but he told him I was working on taxes. I needed a break so I surprised them and drove to Greenfield and picked them up and brought them home with me. We had another exciting evening.

Kim cut wood most of Saturday just to make sure I can continue to be nice and warm. Toasty warm. Melinda came and picked the little ones up in time to go to their church.

On Saturday, Lucille

Franklin, Betty Vandegrift and Peggy Jones enjoyed lunch at Cooky’s for their Valentine treat.

On Sunday, Kelbey met me at the house, then we picked up grandma, Betty Vandegrift and Lucille Franklin in Everton.

On to Willard to pick up sister, Linda Coble and we enjoyed lunch at Panera Bread before attending a shower for grandaughter/niece ,Courtnee Leeper.

She had a really nice shower with several family members and some of her friends and co-workers. We enjoyed the afternoon visiting. Courtnee is the daughter of my sister, Lynetta and Tim Leeper and just recently got married 1.31.2015, starting a new job in Arkansas. Lots of excitement in her life right now.

We made it home safe and sound around 6 when the sleet just started coming down.

Ann Butler called me over the weekend to check in with Dustin.

Sorry to hear that her husband, John William Butler, passed away quietly in his sleep on February 1. He was currently in a hospital rehab center with plans to come home in the near future. He is survived by his wife, Ann, of 62 years; one son Roger, wife, Shawn and 2 grandchildren, Ian and Jillian all of St. Charles, Missouri.

Ann and

William live in the basement home of their son.

Also, one daughter, Kathy, of Springfield.

There was a private family graveside celebration at the Carrs Chapel Cemetery, Greenfield, Over 50 Missouri. friends and family were there to help celebrate the life of William Butler.

Sad occasion, but also a happy one, too, as they know where their love one was heaven bound.

Our thoughts and prayers are with this family as they begin another chapter of their life.

But like I always say, Memories are our life line. They may be gone, but never forgotten. Pictures, stories keep them alive for many years to come.

On Sunday afternoon, Kim Jones took his mother, Carol Jones, out for lunch for a belated Valentine treat.

How do you like this weather? I didn’t have any problems getting to work, but I am praying all the way for a safe arrival. I don’t worry about my driving; it is the other ones on the road that scare me. I think sometimes they forget the roads are bad.

Dustin started back on his chemo treatments on Monday. He was off work for Presidents’ Day and the children were out of school, so he drove himself.

Otherwise, Melinda will come with

him and then I pick him up from work.

Due to the weather, the children were out of school on Tuesday, but Melinda’s aunt, Susan, watched them so she could go with him.

Another round behind him and then more testing to see where he is at. Keep the prayers coming. We believe in miracles as we see them happen every day.

On Wednesday, school out again. So Aunt Missy Odgen came to the house to watch the children. So I picked Dustin up from work on Tuesday and Wednesday. We have a nice ride home.

Deepest sympathy to the families of Jerry Jack.

They lived around the Greenfield area for years.

Our heartful prayers are with all the families at this time.

I visited with Paul Clabough on Tuesday and he was feeling better.

I took him some candy bars and that made him feel better. He told me they would not make it till bedtime. That’s a good sign. They are still running some tests on him. Dwight Steeley and Bill Jones had also visited with him.

Dustin and Melinda Jones stopped by to see Paul on Thursday, but they had taken him for a test. Dustin had just gotten done with chemo.

I went up to check on him Thursday afternoon

and bounced in the room and it was another man.

I don’t know who looked more silly. Asked the ladies at the desk and they said he was released and then got home that night and Kim tells me they just moved rooms.

Kim and Chuck Myers has been remodeling Paul’s and Leona’s bathroom while they are gone to make it more handicap friendly. David Clabough has spent some time over there.

They have tried to put him to work, but he just visits.

Tim and Lynetta Leeper, Courtnee and Michael (the newlyweds) all headed to Texas on Friday-today to see daughter, Shay and family. They have just recently moved into their new home they had built.

So they were going to check it out.

I am jealous as Tammy Garver and her daughter, Jennifer Countryman, are getting to fly to Florida and spend several days with son/brother, Brandon Graver. They will have a blast there. I am sure Brandon will have lots of plans for them. Jennifer has never been on a airplane and Tammy said it had been 30 years for her.

That will be a wild ride.

Continue to keep Leann Claire in your prayers. She is having a lot of pain and discomfort with her

cancer/chemo. So many need our prayers.

Sympathy extended to all who has recently lost loved ones.

A special thank you to all who have stepped up to help Dustin and Melinda with the children this week since there was no school and it was Dustin’s week for treatment. Chemo room is the last place they need to be.

Nice write up in the paper regarding Dustin’s benefit. A lot of time and work has went into this.

Everyone has been so loving and giving toward this. Words can’t express the appreciation we feel.

So humbling to see so many step up to help make this happen. We as a family can’t thank each and everyone enough.

May God bless each one of you as he has us by placing you all in our lives.

A large crowd attended the visitation on Thursday night for Jerry Jack. He will be sadly missed by so many that loved him.

Well, the weatherman is saying we are going to get more ice this evening.

If it has to come, let it come on the weekend so maybe I won’t have to drive on it come Monday.

Each day is a day closer to spring. I just keep telling myself that.

Bishop 3-3-1993. Gone but never forgotten.

I forgot to mention last week that Rick and I ran into Shawna Small & Charlene Wilson in Mt. Vernon at Bamboo Gardens on their way home from the cancer center.

Shawna has been going down there for treatment and we hope she gets good news this week from her scans.

I want to extend sympathy to the family of Lisa "Reinert" Medley who was a 1995 GHS graduate. Lisa use to live in So. Town and passed away last week of a massive heart attack. She leaves behind 3 children and her two brothers, John (1990 GHS graduate) and Kenny (1989).

I'm sure a lot of you will remember her.

I believe all the area schools have had a good break with this winter weather we have been having. I think Greenfield only went one day last week. Hopefully they will get back into their normal routine this week.

I know the back roads sure were slick last week so I took advantage of being snowed in at Mom's. We had a really good week together and

I made my first dishrag. I am feeling very proud of myself. If I get good enough at this, all my friends can look forward to one next year for Christmas. It only took me a week to make a tiny square. HaHa Mom had lots checking in on her last week.

Visits from Scotty, Tracy, Stormy & Logan, Chelsea. Rick stopped in to eat with us pretty regular, too. Uncle Bob & Billy Bob came out one afternoon, too.

Last Wednesday, Mom & I had to go into Springfield to meet with our tax lady and the main roads weren't too bad. We tried to cancel but if we did we wouldn't have gotten in until the end of March so we decided to go on. Enjoyed Chinese for lunch and made one stop at Aldi's before beating it home.

Jack Killingsworth got moved back to the Greenfield Nursing Home last week and Uncle Winton Hargis is a resident at Lockwood Nursing Home. He says they are working him to death over there in therapy but he is getting stronger every day and may come home this

week. Nothing like riding a bicycle every day at 89. He celebrated his birthday last Tuesday.

Carol Witt is doing much better after having her kidney stone surgery a couple of weeks ago.

Brandy McDowell & Meghan Walters and 11 other young ladies have been in Miami, Florida, taking in the beach. They were interviewed on CNN over the weekend.

Way to go, girls!!

I got Mom out again on Thursday and we enjoyed lunch at the Backwoods where Mom got to visit with Ardella Lack and Bun & CC McLemore.

I enjoyed visiting with Carl David Pierce and Carolyn Underwood. I think everyone was getting cabin fever and we could have talked all afternoon.

I know Aunt Carol Jones was about to pull her hair out cause she couldn't get out. She done lots and lots of baking last week.

Thursday night, Mom enjoyed a long phone visit with her cousin, Roberta Amburgey, in Michigan. We are glad we don't live there. She said the snow is so deep if you fall it’s

just like landing on a cushion it’s so deep.

Due to the weather, no games at Willard this weekend so we played cards with Earl & Pat Saturday night. Pat's got us spoiled to caramel corn. a huge Sunday, crowd of around 50 attended church with Violet Campbell in honor of her 85th birthday. Mom, Rick & I joined them for a delicious lunch and nobody went home hungry.

They had some of the best soups and desserts ever with Violet’s homemade hot rolls that everyone loves.

Carol Jones attended the cancer survivor dinner in Lockwood Sunday and stopped by Patsy's afterwards to visit. She reported they had a good crowd and the meal was delicious, too.

Shirley Jones Wilmoth was happy to bring her granddaughter home with her from Kansas to spend the week with her. They will have a grand time.

I want to extend sympathy to Marlene DeClue & family on the loss of her brother-in-law, William "Bill" Freeze, 80 from Kansas City, Kansas, last Friday, February 20th. Bill leaves be-

hind his wife, Betty, of 62 years, a son & 5 daughters along with a huge family & friends.

Was deeply saddened to hear Joe West passed away Sunday after a courageous battle with cancer. He leaves behind his wife, Julina; three daughters: Sherry, Susie & Stephanie; and one son, Shad along with other family and friends.

This past week has not been a good time for the cattlemen. Rick has been up very early & coming in late trying to watch for baby calves being born.

Some cows are just really dumb when it comes to finding a dry spot to calve. You lay down hay for them & what do they do but go right out on the coldest spot they can find & have their babies so they can freeze to death. This is the life of a farmer but if you talked to any of them, they wouldn't change professions for nothing.

Everyone have a warmer week and stay inside out of the cold!!

HOPE An older lady, Helen, puts on her jogging suit and running shoes and tell her husband, Earl, that she is going out for a while. Earl ask where?

“To the gym,” Helen says. “They have a special program for women. It is called Senior Streakers.”

Earl says what Senior Streakers?

“Or maybe it was Senior Sneakers,” says Helen.

“We can ONLY HOPE,” says Earl.

RANDOM THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK Grandmaws are Moms with Icing.

I am not going outside

unitl the temperature is above my age.

Most of my memories come from some old dirt road.

Sometimes my greatest accomplishment is just keeping my mouth shut.

Might wake up early and go for a run. Might also win the Lottery. The odds are about the same.

If you want to live in a country that builds things, you have to buy things your country builds.

When you are dissatified with how old you are and would like to go back to your youth, think algebra.

MEN AND WOMEN A man has 9 items in his

bathroom: toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant, shaving cream, razor, bar of soap, shampoo, aftershave and towel.

The average number of items in a woman’s bathroom is 227. A man would not be able to identify more than 20 of these items.

LOOKING BACK On Febuary 27, 1975, a big snow storm hit Lockwood with an 11-inch snowfall. Schools and businesses were closed and the Lockwood Luminary newspaper picture was snow covered cars on the Davis Von Stroh car lot on north Main Street.

Area Young Farmers Attend Farm Bureau YF&R Leadership Conference

11

Gun Raffle

Submitted by Gina Hargis Dade County Farm Bureau

Farm Bureau members from Dade County were among more than 500 young farmers attending the Missouri Farm Bureau Young Farmers and Ranchers (YF&R) Leadership Conference February 6-8.

The conference, held at the Lake of the Ozark’s Tan-Tar-A Resort, was a time to learn from experts in agriculture and swap stories of life on the farm with fellow farmers.

The conference is organized by Farm Bureau’s state Young Farmers and Ranchers Committee and is designed to appeal to a wide range of agricultural interests.

Mini-seminars covered topics ranging from a market outlook and estate planning to home food canning and creating your own web blog.

Speakers came from Missouri Farm Bureau, MFA, FCS, the University of Missouri and other businesses.

Featured speakers included Missouri Farm Bureau President Blake Hurst, a farmer from Westboro, Missouri Director of Agriculture Richard Fordyce, who also has a row crop farm near Bethany, and comedian Damian Mason from

A gun raffle drawing to benefit Dusty Jones. will be February 28, 2015 at the Dusty Jones Benefit at the Main Street Baptist Church.

The gun is a Ruger 243 American Rifle. Tickets are $5 each or $20 for 5 tickets.

Tickets are being sold now and the night of the event. Tickets are available at Backwoods or stop by United Country Lowe Realty.

All proceeds will go to Dusty Jones for medical and travel expenses.

Honor Roll List For For Pitt State's Fall 2014 Semester

Those attending from Dade County included: Ryan Groose, Casey Groose, Tate Worthington, Brian Worthington, Molly McCorkill, Jenn McCorkill and Andy McCorkill.

Huntington, Indiana.

The underlying theme among all of the speakers was to get involved in speaking up for agriculture so the next generation of farmers can be equally successful.

Young Farmers and Ranchers Committee Chair Jeremie Nothdurft of Cape Girardeau closed out the conference. He told the group if they as farmers and ranchers don’t speak up for themselves, then others who don’t share their interest will speak up for them.

“At first, I didn’t want to be the chairman of this committee. My thought was like many farmers who just want to

be left alone and take care of the farm. Like many young farmers, I work two jobs, off the farm and on the farm, trying to raise a family. Who the heck has time to do anything else?” said Nothdurft. “But, now I understand. I would rather someone get their information about agriculture from someone involved in it than from someone that has no idea.

Don't miss an opportunity to tell others about agriculture and what you do.”

There were plenty of fun events as well. Both children and adults took part in a pedal tractor pull.

A super farmer contest was a friendly competition pitting teams of young farmers against each other for the best times and most points.

Some of the events included a culvert course, tire roll and wheelbarrow race. Bingo and cards were part of the mix of meeting fellow farmers from other parts of the state.

The MFB YF&R Conference is hosted by a committee of up to 30 young farmers. More than 100 businesses and individuals sponsor the conference with Missouri Farm Bureau Insurance Companies the presenting sponsor.

The Dade County Library Has Received The Racing To Read: Story Time LSTA Grant Submitted by Glenda Robertson Dade County Library

The Dade County Library has received the Racing to Read: Story Time LSTA Grant to enhance our efforts to help children develop the skills they need to succeed in school by taking part in a statewide initiative Racing to Read.

This program focuses on using five basic skills—tell stories, talk and read, sing and rhyme, play with letters, and love books—in fun activities that help children get ready to learn to read.

This model is based on a program developed by the Springfield-Greene County Library.

The Dade County Li-

brary is excited to announce that the $2000.00 grant will be used to purchase new books, a new area rug, hands-on activities, and crafts for our story hour program.

The program will be geared for children birth to six years of age and their parents or guardians.

Our first Racing to

Read Story Hour will be March 6, 2015, from 10:00 am-11:30 am.

Our theme is Sing and Rhyme Time with the Three Little Pigs.

Crafts, parent information, snacks and a free book for each child will be provided. This program is available to children birth to 6 years of age.

Mary Shepard and the library staff will be presenting this story hour. We are looking forward to seeing you there.

This project was made possible in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services [IMLS grant number is 2015-LFL4-RTRC4CN47851].

The Institute of Mu-

seum and Library Services is the primary source of federal support for the nation’s 123,000 libraries and 35,000 museums.

Our mission is to inspire libraries and museums to advance innovation, lifelong learning, and cultural and civic engagement.

Our grant making, policy development, and research help libraries and museums deliver valuable services that make it possible for communities and individuals to thrive.
