El Dorado Springs Senior Center Offers Tax Counseling for the Elderly Submitted by Kaye Fair Coordinator of Public Information Care Connection for Aging Services

Care Connection for Aging Services will have a volunteer available at the El Dorado Senior Center beginning Feb. 3 to help seniors to file their tax returns.

People 65 and older are eligible for free tax assistance, including help in electronically filing their federal and state income tax returns and their Circuit Breaker

Lockwood Ministerial Alliance Food Pantry

Missouri Property Tax Credit application.

The Tax Counseling for the Elderly service will take place by appointment from 9 a.m. to noon p.m. Tuesdays and Thursday beginning Feb. 3 during tax season, said Kathy Ray-Smith, who directs the program for Care Connection.

While the free service is open to all seniors, Ray-Smith suggests that people who have had major sales of stocks, bonds or property in the past year

may want to seek the services of a paid preparer.

To make an appointment for the free tax assistance, call the senior center at 417876-5574. The El Dorado Senior Center is one of 22 operated by Care Connection for Aging Services. The agency provides resources and services that empower people to create healthy aging experiences in 13 West Central Missouri counties, including Cedar.

Keep Smiling

by Sara Johnston

The hours of operation of the Food Pantry will be Wednesdays from noon until 2:00 p.m. and on Fridays from 3:00 5:00 p.m.

There will be someone there during those times to assist you.

If you have any questions you can contact any of the churches in Lockwood.

Hello to all!

I don’t know how many of you are suffering with cancer. I had stage 2 cervical cancer in 1996. I had radiation every day for 3 months; chemo around the clock for 2 full weeks plus radiation and some radiation implant surgery. I kept saying ‘Thank you Jesus’ while going through these treatments. Why you may ask... Because those words kept me going

and gave me much peace and comfort through the whole ordeal. I had the assurance that I would win this battle. I kept singing the song ‘One Day At a Time, Sweet Jesus.’ This song reminded me that we are not alone when we have adversity; just keep on going, keep on going.

So, I am a cancer-free survivor and I give all the praise to God! Have a great day!

Main Street gathered at 9:30 January 25th, for Sunday School at 10:45.

We adjourned to the sanctuary for worship services at 10:45. The choir and praise team led us in singing “I’ll Fly Away.” Special music provided by the choir.

Pastor Rod’s message was “The Orthodoxy of the Devil.” James 2:19.

Thou believest that there is one God, thou doest well. The devils also believe and tremble.

1. The distinction between the devils and the saints is not always clear.

1 John 2:19. Acts 8:21-23 and 2 Corinthians 11:4 says: And do not marvel, for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.

2. The defense orthodoxy is enough. Ortho: Greek for “correct”, Dox:

Greek for “belief”, Orthodoxy, therefore, is Correct belief”. But is orthodoxy enough?

3. Real Christians are both repentant and reborn. 2 Corinthians 5:17.

In Romans 10:10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. The devil and his demons do not agree with God nor do they agree to repent. You cannot have change without repentance.

The youth (grades 712) will meet at the church at 11:00 a.m. Saturday, January 31 to go to Youth Quake in Springfield. After Youth Quake they will eat supper at Freddy’s.

Barabara Smith is home from her Mission trip to Africa. Scott and

Chase Daniel also home from their Mission trip to Jamaica.

Our birthdays and anniversary party was a huge success. Around 70 people came and celebrated. The 12 tables were decorated with a theme for each month.

We had a speaker from Baptist Children’s Home.

An offering was taken for them. Ross and Mary Drew were given a box of chocolates for being married the longest. (61 years) and Leona Sutton a gift for being the oldest person there.

Rodney and the congregation invite you to come and be a part of our weekly activities. Perhaps the most important thing we ever give each other is our attention.

It’s been quite a winter: first snow, then warm weather, cold spells, then guess what is next. That’s Missouri!

Joe and I have taken it easier this week, but in between, we both went to the No real doctors. change in our health; just plugging along.

One of our church members, Allen, ended up in the hospital with a sudden gall bladder attack. He is doing alright after 2 days in the hospital and a week off. He is now flying back to Italy, as he

works for the government.

Joe and I went to Joplin for a part for the old truck. We thought we had it going but, that only lasted for about 30 minutes.

Then the next time he tried to start it nothing, The Old Tractor won’t run either in this cold weather, so our neighbor GOOD (Amanda Gray) came over and put out hay for our two little heifers. We have a lot of good neighbors and friends, and are so lucky for all the good people.

Tuesday, I went with Joe to Harbor Freight, where Joe got some tow hooks to move the machinery around where he needs, or wants it all put. On the way home, he surprised me by taking me out to eat at Sirloin Steak House in Carthage, Missouri.

This is one of our favorite places to eat.

My brother-in-law, Thurston Stafford, has been in the hospital with a bladder infection. They first thought he had pneumonia, but he didn't. So now, he is back in the nurs-

ing home in Belton Missouri and doing much better.

I have been busy cleaning and Joe working on different farm stuff. No real news.

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!

Congratulations to new parents, Darcy & Kirsten Parrish, on the arrival of a baby boy, Easton Beckett. He arrived on January 27, tipping the scales at 8 lb & 4 oz and was 21 inches long.

Proud grandparents are Kent & Nancy Parrish.

Congratulations to the Dadeville Cheerleaders who won the Cheer Award at the Stockton Tournament last week.

This is the 2nd time this year they have received this award. Way to go, girls!!

Last Tuesday, Mom & I enjoyed lunch out at the Backwoods and was surprised to get a visit from Bruce Bell. Bruce had come in from Oklahoma for the day.

Rick & I have been busy going to basketball games this week. We watched grandson, Skyler, play 2 games this week for Baptist Bible College. Sorry to report they lost both games.

Then on Saturday, we watched the little grand kids, Mayce & Jayce Baker, play in Willard.

They won both their games and both made some baskets. We always see someone there we know. This week, I saw a classmate of mine, Donna "Stack" Tyler, who was watching her grand kids play. Also ran into Charles Mitchell and Libby Hampton who

have kids playing, too.

After their games, we headed to Harrison, Arkansas to watch Skyler and Jayce & Mayce went with us.

Last Friday, I had to go to Springfield and spend the day with granddaughter, Lucy, who had been awfully sick this week with ear infection and pneumonia. She has been one sick little girl but is finally over the hump and feeling better.

Friday night, we met Rick's sister, Brenda & Tim McPhail and their grandson, McCord, for supper before we all headed to the game.

Skyler has a huge group of family to cheer him on.

Also, Cody Allhands from Ash Grove has a huge following, too.

Patsy Hargis was happy to have Violet

Campbell come out one day and spend the day with her. Also, Bill Lack came by for a visit. It makes the day go by faster for her. We are still receiving some beautiful cards in the mail, thankyou.

Brian & Deloris Snider has been here visiting family all week and I know Deloris has sure enjoyed seeing her grand kids. One night, all of Deloris's siblings met at her mother's for a night of good food, visiting and picture taking.

We need to keep Joe West & Dusty Jones families in our prayers. Joe is having a real hard time right now and Dusty is thru his first week of chemo which made him very tired. Now he can rest for 3 weeks before starting it again.

Jack Killingsworth

had to be rushed back to the hospital last week and have more surgery.

He came thru it very well for his age and will be coming back to the nursing home sometime this week.

Cletis McConnell is finally back home after a long hospital stay and is already biting the bullet to get back to taking pictures for the paper. We are happy he is doing so well and wish him a speedy recovery.

Those enjoying Sunday dinner with Patsy Hargis were: Rick & I, Logan & Bree, Tassy & Aspen and Adam Terrell.

Nothing like homemade gooseberry cobbler on a cold rainy day. Yum Yum I don't have much news this week so I hope the Super Bowl went everybody's way. Have a great week.

I must correct a mistake. I was told Kevin Stump passed away. I should have checked further, but didn’t. He is at his home in Arkansas, continues to fight his battle of cancer. Continue to keep Kevin in your prayers.

Madge T. is now a patient at Good Shepherd Nursing Home following a stay at Joplin Mercy.

She is continuing her treatments.

Sympathies to the Boehne family in the passing of a dear mother

and friend, Dorothy Boehne. She was a resident of Good Shepherd.

While I was there I had some short visits with her. Her boys and my boy were a part of the neighborhood boys group. They would go from house to house and the park to play. Quite a group!

Congratulations to Joseph Eggerman who is on Missouri University list.

The addition at the Pump and Pantry is a new style roof being

built. They had some nice warm days to work.

Didn’t we enjoy these two warm days. Two afternoons I soaked in the sun setting on the porch swing. But it didn’t last, cold is moving in, could bring snow.

We had a beautiful sunset Saturday. Colors were beautiful. Living in town you miss these sunsets and sunrise. To be truthful I don’t get up early enough to see!

Sunday, I did not attend church, my taxi didn’t arrive. Wednesday

night my good neighbor ask me to go with them to the monthly birthdays/anniversary supper at the church. Was glad I went. Good food, good fellowship. Lots of youth, they enjoy eating, adds to their meeting.

One evening my neighbors brought me a bowl of delicious broccoli cheese soup and homemade bread that had cottage cheese in it, it to was so good.

I’m reading a book by Wally Amos, Watermelon Majic. A good

book. I’m not sure it is in most book stores. I like this statement by Wally.

Mistakes are natural, mistakes are how we learn. When we stop making mistakes, we stop learning and growing but repeating the same mistakes over and over is not continuous learning. At one time he owned Famous Amos Cookie Company.

I talked to Kim McGuire and C.W. his brother, is improving each day. He did have his gall bladder removed but

still improving. Last week Kim and his wife visited with C.W. in Omaha, Nebraska. It looks like each day he is getting closer to coming home, which is great news.

I might add, John and I had the privilege of meeting and visiting personally with Wally Amos. He autographed our book we bought.

He’s a very personable man.

So long until next week.

That wind was really blowing. We didn’t stay long.

I went back to Kelbey’s on Tuesday night and we were working on the lay out of the kitchen.

I am so excited for her.

They are boxing the house in now and soon the windows and doors will be in. They are having to move one window over due to cabinets.

I remember when we built our house, and I wanted a window moved over and Kim said no. Thanks to Uncle Terry Myers, I got the window moved. I remind Kim about that ever once in a while.

One afternoon, I had a nice long visit with Car-

rie Olsen on the phone. I really enjoyed catching up.

On Saturday night, Kim and I ate supper in Greenfield at the cashew chicken place. Got to visit with classmates, Dewayne and wife, April (Jones) Wright. Stopped by to check on mom and always drive by Kelbey’s to watch the progress.

On Thursday, I met mom and sister, Linda Coble, at the doctor office for mom. She got a good report and we all left happy.

Willis Leeper has been in the hospital for a few days in ICU. Keep this family in your prayers. His granddaughter, Courtnee

Leeper, will be getting married on Saturday January 31 at 11 in Arkansas. At this time, Clara will be unable to go.

Our mother, Betty Vandegrift, will be going with Lynetta and Tim Leeper for the exciting event. I do hope they video tape it so we can all see it.

Sister-in-law’s, Sandy Vandegrift, older brother, Steve Davis, has been in the hospital with blood clots following total knee replacement. Our extended family is having a rough go. Pray and pray some more.

Like sister-in-law Betty said we are having a lot of one on one on this

prayer chain going straight to the Man upstairs and we all know He is listening.

My praises to all that continue to pray for Dustin and family, all the calls, cards, offering of help or anything. You will never know how much that means to all of us and it will never be forgotten.

This has changed our lives in many ways and all for the positive. Thank God for our wonderful family, friends, churches and community. We are truly blessed.

looking at the idea.

February birthdays are Peggy Jones and nephew, J.C. Jones, Happy anniversary to Ray and Judy Runyon of Ash Grove. We call him Mr. Sawdust. He is the one that has done so much wood work for me and at the Antioch Church.

My thoughts and prayers continue to be with the families of Larry Spain. I have thought of that family so many times recently. We think we are having some hard times until we look around and see so many others going through their trials. All we can do is pray for each other.

Dustin stayed home on Monday and Tuesday,

but went to work on Wednesday. He said the trip to Springfield was a long one. It is if you are not feeling well. Off Thursday and went to work on Friday. He is just so fatigued.

Attended Bobby Moore retirement party on Sunday afternoon at the Everton School. They are going to miss him. I know Suzanne Steeley will really miss him the most. Got to see a lot of friends that I had not seen for awhile.

Afterwards, I stopped and visited with mom, then by Kelbey’s where Suzanne Steeley met us to see her house and how it is coming along. Boy was it cold.

Only three weeks remain in the regular season before district play in the 2014-2015 season and area teams are playing conference games trying to improve their records for district seedings.

I believe that conference leaders at this point are the Walnut Grove boys and girls in the Polk County League and the Jasper boys and girls in the SRVC. The Lockwood girls team have compiled a 144 record but must beat Jasper to win the title.The Lockwood boys won a key conference game on 1-30-15 at Lockwood 5650 over Greenfield.

Lockwood Lady Tigers Defeat College Heights, Greenfield

This past week, the Lockwood Lady Tigers improved their record to 14-4 and 3-0 in the SRVC by winning two conference games.

On January 27, the squad traveled to Joplin and handled College Heights 60-25.

From the beginning, the game was never in doubt as Coach Kinney was able to rest her starters early in the game and give her bench a lot of varsity experience.

Olivia Nentrup was the leading scorer with 11 points. Alexis Byrnes and Moriah Coose each had 10 points.

On January 29th, the rival Greenfield Wildcats came to Lockwood.

Greenfield standout, Katie Marshall, went to the bench with early foul trouble and her teammate, Karsen Sims, had to sit much of the first half

with an ankle injury. This helped give the talented Lady Tigers the advantage and Lockwood would be able to control most of the game.

The lead was 46-26 at halftime and 60-33 after three quarters.

The final score was Lockwood 78-54 in a game that had 53 fouls called.

Leading scorers for Lockwood were freshman, Rylee Neill, with 18 points and seniors: Olivia Finley (17), Alexis Byrnes (13), and Jessica Nentrup (12).

The Lady Tigers hosted Sarcoxie on February 3 and will travel to defending conference champion, Pierce City, on February 6.

Our guests, government workers, gave a brief report of their year and needs for the upcoming year.

A health crisis with children Prewitt’s prompted her to re-examine the world, especially her home environment and the foods her family was consuming.

The research journey that ensued led her to question the safety of the food and many other things which her children encountered.

Some of the information gathered was the catalyst for her novel, Seed Police.

Seed Police warns of control of the very basis of life on the planet, seeds. The novel is set in the not-too-distant future and no one but the government can grow food.

Owning seeds is illegal.

The government food program provides genetically engineered seeds designed to produce disease free plants and to eliminate disease in the people who eat the food.

Five years into the program, traditional diseases are disappearing however there is a new

Teenagers, epidemic.

Chance and Emily, along with their families, who call themselves the “Seed Savers,” are in a race against government patrols and the deadly pandemic. The pure seeds they have hidden may hold the key to human survival in this action packed political thriller.

“Even though Seed Police is a work of fiction, some of the latest information surrounding the debate over the food modification going on is woven throughout this futuristic story,” said author Gayla Prewitt.

When Gayla got the medical test results back for her children, she was devastated. The results for two of her boys, then ages three and 1 1/2 years-old, revealed heavy metal exposure, mostly arsenic, that was off the charts. She later traced their exposure to their CCA treated lumber porch.

Before this, she started on the journey of questioning the impact of

additives in food because of learning and behavior issues experienced with her daughter.

Later, the episode of her boys’ heavy metal exposure heightened her diligence to research the safety of all things her children would come into contact with: the things they ate, touched and breathed.

That research led Gayla to the conclusion that genetically modified organisms are one of the greatest threats to health and environment.

Gayla Prewitt has a background in broadcast journalism and is a parttime instructor at a university near her home in Bolivar, Missouri.

Prewitt, a Greenfield graduate, is married to a firefighter, has four children and a son-in-law.

The novel is available on Amazon or from links on the Seed Police website, www.SeedPolice.com.

funding levels, an increasing number of students using the program and increases in tuition costs. In November, Gov. Jay Nixon released $2 million in A+ funds that have been restricted in June to keep the state budget in balance. The release of the restricted funds by the governor significantly eased the anticipated impact of the projected shortfall.

Because the A+ Scholarship is a reimbursement program, the department had to assess the amount of funding needed to pay tuition and fees for qualifying students completing the Fall 2014 semester in order to determine how

much funding would be available for the Spring 2015 semester. The deadline for institutions to submit their preliminary reimbursements requests based on fall semester data was December 15.

The number of credit hours reimbursed for the Spring 2015 semester will depend on the number of hours each student completes.

The Department of Higher Education will continue to monitor program funding status over the next several months.

Missouri’s A+ Scholarship Funding Improves

Students who participate in Missouri A+ Scholarship Program will receive tuition reimbursement for all but one credit hour for the Spring 2015 semester, the Department of Higher Education announced.

Department officials informed the state’s community colleges and vocational-technical schools that available funds might be insufficient to cover 100 percent of tuition reimbursement costs through A+ Program. Officials said at the time that tuition reimbursement could potentially be reduced by up to four credit hours per student due to funding shortfall. Reimbursement is based on tuition and fee cost not covered by federal financial aid-excluding student loans.

“A+ students who have questions about their obligations should contact their institutions’ financial aid advisers to determine their exact situation,” Russell said.

The funding shortfall is attributed to state
