Christmas Project 2014

The Dade County Men’s Civic Club are now putting together plans for the 2014 Christmas Gift Program for the less fortunate children of Dade County. We count on the generosity of the community to help fund the cost of the gifts. You have been so kind to us the last several years and do hope that you will continue to help with this charity.

There will be approximately 230 children that are in need of our help.

We hope to make this a merrier Christmas for them and that some day they will remember that someone did care and that after they are grown, that they will want to ‘pay this help forward.’

Please send your donations to Don Adams, Treasurer, 35 N. State Hwy 39, Greenfield, MO 65661; Scotty Holman, President, 746 College Street, Greenfield, MO 65661; Homer G. Ellis, Vice President, P.O. Box 126, Lockwood, MO 65682 or anyone of the members.

There will be drop off boxes at the Dollar General Store in Greenfield as well as at the local banks, where you can leave a new toy if that would be your choice.

Thank you, one and all!

Over 70 Years of Local Probate Records Preserved

By Cletis McConnell Vedette Reporter

Jennifer Snider, deputy clerk in the Dade County Circuit Clerk’s office, made contact with Leslie James, archivist from the Local Records Program with the Missouri Archives, while gathering information for writing a grant for record preservation.

As a result, plans were made with the Dade County Genealogical Society to begin the task of preparing and organizing all the historic Dade County Probate Division records. The Genealogical Society volunteered to donate the labor for preservation of these documents.

Volunteers from the Society Genealogical began working on this in June, 2013. They volunteered over 1400 hours to organize and prepare Dade County Historical Probate records through 1899. The project was then extended to encompass records through 1930.

Left to right: Leslie James, Field Archivist with Local Records Program; Tom Hobbs; Joan Miley; Cheryl Brewer; Betty Nelson; Edie Boucher; John Dougan, State Archivist; and John Korasick, Director of Local Records Programs.

Due to their dedication, these records will eventually be accessible at the Dade County Library, as well as at the Missouri State Archives in Jefferson City.

In appreciation, the Dade County Circuit Court Clerk’s office hosted a reception in the

Circuit Courtroom of the Dade County Courthouse on Wednesday, November 12, 2014, at 2 p.m.

John Dougan, State Archivist, presented certificates of appreciation to the Dade County Genealogical Society members and project volunteers as follows:

Tom Hobbs, Joan Miley, Cheryl Brewer, Betty Nelson and Edie Boucher.

Not present: Ardella Lack, Becky Hailey, Bonnie Mallory and Betty Crutcher.

Mary McGee, Circuit Clerk, presented a plaque to the Genealogical Society for their dedication and commitment to the

Several days before my birthday, Kaye Godfrey told me she was bringing a pot of soup and inviting some of my lady friends down for the noon meal.

She came early and brought the stew, left and said they would be here around noon for the food.

Close to noon and no one was here, so I waited.

Soon, I saw vehicle in the driveway. Kaye and Debbie were at my door, saying, “Come on. We are going for a ride.”

I hesitated and they announced the red carpet was out. Going out, there was a limousine, driven

by Dan, with the ladies inside.

Missouri Department Of Transportation Files Injunction On Illegal Junk Yard In Dade County

By Bob Jackson

An injuction was filed last week in Dade County Circuit Court by the Missouri Department of Transportation against Rodney Hummell, 228 South Missouri Highway 39, Greenfield, Missouri 65661 of being in violation of several Missouri Statutes in sections 226.100 to 226.700.

The property of 22 acres, more or less, is bordered on the east by the BNSF railroad and on the west by Missouri Hwy 39

and US Highway 160.

The injunction states that the defendant maintains junked, dismantled and wrecked pallets, rotting lumber, used parts, steel, iron and other old scrap ferrous and non ferrous material.

The operation or maintainence of a junkyard on the property bordered by MO Hwy 39 and US Hwy 160 is not licensed and is not screened by natural objects, plantings, fences or other means so as to ren-

der it not visible from the traveled highways.

Said junkyard has not obtained a junkyard permit from MODOT. Said junkyard is declared a nuisanse.

The defendant has been notified prior to this lawsuit and has failed to correct the violations of the law and continues to operate and / or maintain such junkyard in violation of the law.

MODOT asks for a court judgment against the defendant from oper-

ating and maintaining a junkyard on the premises.

A judgment ordering the defendant to remove said junk from the requested area or the defendant screen said junk from the view from the main traveled way.

A judgment ordered defendant to apply for and maintain a junkyard permit from MODOT and comply with the conditions of said permit.

A summons will be delivered to Rodney Hummell and a trial date

in Dade County Circuit Court will be set in 30 days.

Earlier in 2014, a petition with over 350 names of Dade County, Missouri residents was submitted to MODOT to indicate the concern about the illegal dump, known to many in Dade County as THE PALLET PALACE. The VEDETTE will follow the case in court and keep VEDETTE readers up on the status of the case.

as well,” said OFH Development Director Denise Gibson. “We’ve actually granted more than one million dollars in passthrough funding—just in the past few years—to support pantries and food programs across the Ozarks by providing food, freezers, coolers and other infrastructure equipment. This gift from Walmart will help provide food for our partners.”

This is the fifth annual gift from the Walmart Foundation’s State Giving Program that Ozarks Food Harvest has offered to its agencies as

the “Walmart Hunger Challenge” matching grant opportunity. The funds OACAC raises will be used to provide food for those in need in Dade County.

Ozarks Food Harvest received grant requests from 36 of its more than 200 partner food pantries and programs, totaling $92,000. With $40,000 awarded to OFH from Walmart this fall, The Food Bank gave 33 agencies in 22 counties the opportunity to raise matching funds—ranging from $500 to $2,000—as long as they raise the funds by March 1, 2015.

Through the State Giving Program, the Walmart Foundation says it awards grants that have a long-lasting, positive impact on communities across the U.S. Previous OFH hunger challenge grants, thanks to the Walmart Foundation, have allowed Ozarks Food Harvest to award more than 150 pass-through grants utilizing gifts from Walmart totaling $475,000, leveraging the State Giving Program’s donations to more than $900,000.

Ozarks Food Harvest was the first of six food bank in Missouri to grant

awards to its partner nonprofits and has been recognized nationally for being a food bank that provides funding to its partners.

Any funds received by the OACAC Dade County Neighborhood Center will be used to arrange monthly access to the Ozarks Food Harvest Mobile Food Pantry for Dade County families.

The cost of one food mobile visit is $1,000.

If you have any questions or want to make a donation, please contact Karen Roby at 417-6372701.

Amendment 3

This election, Missouri voters came to the polls in droves to say no to Amendment 3, the short-sighted effort to make all Missouri schools use a one-size-fitsall evaluation policy that could have cost $1 billion or more to implement.

The reality of Amendment 3 is that, like most education policies that have been put forward by the amendment sponsors, it had not been vetted by anybody outside of a board room in St. Louis.

No teachers were asked for their input. No administrators were consulted on the language. No parents were asked how it might impact their students’ education. Instead, a group of consultants put together the plan they wanted to see and wrote a bunch of checks to get it on the ballot.

The simple fact is this: Drowning teachers, students, and administrators in constitutionally-mandated state bureaucracy and standardized tests is not reform, it is destruction.

Unfortunately, with the political might of a billionaire behind this destructive agenda, this vote is not the end of the road. A group that was willing to spend $1.5 million on an issue and disappear into thin air just weeks before the election is guaranteed to

Increased 32.3 percent for the month.

Refunds Increased 8.3 percent for the year, from $171.7 million last year to $185.9 million this year.

Increased 1.7 percent for the month.

Director Luebbering also noted the General Revenue Fund borrowed $100 million from the Budget Reserve Fund for cash flow purposes, bringing the total borrowed to $300 million for the year. The funds will be repaid before the Constitutional deadline of May 15, 2015.

come back again, and do so in force.

Our public schools are not perfect, but the only way to improve the education being provided to students is to treat this subject as what it is: a complex issue that has to be dealt with thoughtfully. Teachers, administrators, and parents must be consulted when drawing up reforms to ensure that local control and local needs are protected. To push forward without this input would be disastrous.

Elbert Bags 9-Point Buck

Thirty-eight Greenfield Jr. High students earned the privilege of attending a reward trip on November 13, 2014, based on their good behavior for the first quarter of the 2014-2015 school year. These seventh and eighth graders traveled to the Springfield Family Y to play basketball, volleyball and racquetball. They also were able to swim and play games there. In the afternoon, the students went to Incredible Pizza Company for lunch and an opportunity to play more games. Those attending were Susana AnayaTrujillo, JaLynn Benson, Zeth Burkholder, Chase Daniel, Rece Fleeman, Meleeah Friend, Quin Morrow, Taylar Morrow, Jacob Nave, Caden Sims, Hattie Taylor, Blade Welch, Delaney White, Chance Williamson, Connor Williamson, Bailey Baker, Jacob Bartlett, Ashley Benson, Gage Burns, Rendie Burns, Derrick Dill, Jonathan Ellis, Adreanna Garcia, Brayton Ipock, Lauren Jones, Kiarra Mai, Princess McCoy, Nico Murray, Harley Stapp, Seth Trask, Madelyn Tyler, Jacob Vankam, Trenton Wilson, Evy Zinn, Hailey Horton, Marcus Ovando, Makaylah Crossland, and KC Paige.

Zone LWML Rally Submitted by Natalie Wehrman

St. John’s Lutheran Church, Monett, was the location for the 45th Fall Rally of the SW MO Zone Lutheran Women’s Missionary League.

The theme was Carry His Light! On display were different items form Indonesia for the attendees to view as they were registering.

Brenda Kirn, Zone Vice President, Carthage, opened the meeting at 10:00 a.m. on November 1, All Saints day, and Rev. Richard Cody, Monett, had the opening devotion using contrasting different halloween dates with present Halloween s and finally bringing in how to use that same date with the Reformation story.

Rev. Gary Griffin, MO District Counselor, brought greetings from the District asking the ladies to do mission work in their own local areas.

The ingathering, which went to Crosslines, included 45 boxes of paper products, 115 canned goods items, and 51 other assorted items.

The power point program was presented by Phil and Carrie Hedeman, Lockwood. They were educated in the Lutheran school system and became teachers and eventually spent four years teaching in Indonesia and then spent another few years there. Phil taught seventh and eighth grade math and Carrie taught phonics to kindergartners and was the principal of K4-P3 at another school while Phil was lead teacher for the eighth graders. They are now helping laborers for Christ in building projects in different states and ac-

tive at Immanuel Lockwood. Carrie wore typical Indonesia apparel.

A nominating committee was appointed by president, Judy the Golden, Carthage. Reports were given by the other committee chairmen. The President mentioned that the National LW M L C o n v e n t i o n would be held in Des Moines, Iowa, on June 2528, 2015. She urged members to attend the Iowa convention.

Mugs were given to those LWML members who were attending their first rally. The group sang This Little Light of Ours and after the table prayer by the Freistatt organization the group enjoyed the lunch prepared for them featuring chicken lasagna, salad, and all sorts of neat desserts.

Each individual place was marked with bracelets hanging on purple stands, purple bags holding candies, and purple napkins.

A guest missionary, Rev. Dr. David Faulkner presented a power point talk about his coming service in Uruguay. He, his wife, Julia and their three children will be going there soon where Julia will be teaching and Pastor Faulkner will take care of the spiritual matters. They have nice schools, good attendance but lack any knowledge of Christianity.

Recommendations from the Zone Board were that 10% of the offering go for mites, $50 be given for the Heart to Heart Ministry, the rest flowing into the general treasury.

A personal gift was given to Judy from a fel-

low Monett member who went to nursing school with Judy.

Earlier a president’s pin was placed on Judy after her installation as president since she was absent at the Spring Rally.

Registration was 93, offering $375 and $85 for manuals. The closing devotion was given by the Lockwood organization with Kaylyn Wehrman being the narrator and several ladies reading Scripture passages. It was about different kinds of lights, flickering, beacon, bright, dim-what kind of light are you?

Even though it was a cold day, the sun warmed everyone’s hearts and all enjoyed the rally singing the League song, Lutheran Women One and All and repeating The League Pledge.

Those attending from Lockwood were the following: Shirley Schnelle, Kaylyn and Natalie

Wehrman, Naomi Eggerman, Eunice Piepenbrink, Doris Schnelle, Eloise Haubein, Emma Cassity, Florence Clark, Phyllis Obert, Anita Allison, Pastor and Jackie Griffin.

Nancy Johnson was named to the nominating committee.

On November 1, 2014, Hunter Elbert of Stockton takes a 9-point buck on his first hunting expedition. He was hunting with Dale Jones, owner of Southwinds Motel, on his property in Dade County. Hunter got the deer with one shot. It was a great experience for him.

Lamplighters Honor Veterans, Spouses, Widows At Dadeville Baptist Church QUESTIONS? Contact Editor Marlene DeClue at 417-637-2712 or greenfieldvedettepublisher@mchsi.com

By Cletis McConnell Vedette Reporter

Members of The Lamplighters hosted veterans, their spouses and widows from the area on Thursday, November 13, at the Dadeville Baptist Church.

The meeting began with a welcome to all and then everyone gave the pledge to the flag and join in singing “America”, led by LeAnn McBride.

A guest, Phyllis McConnell, blessed the group by playing on the accordion the hymns of all the branches of the Armed Services and other patriotic music and hymns.

Each veteran or widow introduced themselves and shared some of his/her experiences while serving our country.

Then, a moment of silence was held as the names of those who had previously been with us and have died or were not able to attend this year.

As guests shared, we were again reminded of the sacrifies made by those serving in the Armed Services whether in peace time or in war.

The veterans and guests then enjoyed an early Thanksgiving meal together.

The Lamplighters feel blessed to do this for veterans and look forward to hosting the veterans again in 2015.

Pastor Rodney’s message was on Satan’s attacks on Job. Job 42:1-7 and 10-21. It is impossible to serve God without faith.

1. A personal en-

counter with God eliminates complaining and brings submission.

2. God does not have to answer for his actions.

Duet.29:29. The secret things belong unto the Lord our God, but those things which are revealed belong to us.

3. God takes responsibility for all things. See genesis 9:3, Neh. 9:6, Prov.

16:4 Romans 8:32.

Consider attitudes,

actions, or inaction, thoughts or habits. God expects you to repent of this week. Make a list of those things the Spirit brings to your mind.

Mary Circle

Immanuel Mary Circle met at the home of Bea Roncovitts on Thursday, November 6, at 7:00 p.m.

Hostesses were Bea and Betty Schilling Smith.

Decorations were of fall with pumpkins and colored leaves. Betty had the devotion entitled, “You are what you eat and help us Lord.”

Jesus is sinless and loves us and does what is right for us, keeping His promises. We should try to keep our bodies healthy by eating properly and help each other to stay close to God. Doris Niehoff, our coordinator, reported on some pertinent information for the end of the year, passing around a sheet to sign for hostesses for 2015. The Circle had served the funeral meals for Evelyn Kremer and Roderick Gripe. She thanked the members for their donation of food.

The Circle is also to be hostesses for the Christmas meeting which will be held at the home of Clovis and Eloise Haubein.

Natalie Wehrman gave a brief report of the Fall Rally held on November 2 at Monett.

There were 13 LWML members from Lockwood who had attended, a nice day and a total attendance of 93.

The offering and mite offering was taken and the thirteen members present then enjoyed an assortment of cheese cakes, nuts and punch and coffee drinks.

Everyone just relaxed and enjoyed the fellowship and especially were glad to hear of James Schilling’s progress with his health and his mother, Betty, is thankful to the Lord for all His benefits to James.

The last meeting of the year will start with carolling at the Good Shepherd home and then meeting at the Haubeins.

ANTIOCH PILGRIM NEWS by Lesia Jones

News is short this week as it has been a busy week at work and the holidays are slipping upon us.

On Friday, the 7th, Lucille Franklin was surprised when a rather large car pulled into her driveway and several ladies got out and the biggest surprise was her granddaughter, Kim Franklin, who lives in Virginia was there. She had not seen her in maybe 6 years. The tears were rolling.

They took a drive around town and visited, laughed, cried and laughed some more.

They enjoyed birthday cake and coffee in Lucille’s home. Those enjoying the ride and cake

were Kaye Godfrey and her sister, Betty Vandegrift, Peggy Jones, Louise Toler and her daughter Charlene.

On Saturday, Kelbey, Jacob and Abby joined us for breakfast On Sunday, they joined us again for breakfast and we were trying to get around to go to mom’s to eat lunch before Lucille Franklin’s big party.

Bad news came before we ever got to mom’s when Kelbey called and said that Heather McGuire had been killed in a auto accident. At that time, she knew the 2 little girls was with her, but didn’t know if they were hurt.

Kelbey ended up

spending all day at the Cox ER with the dad, Anthony, and several other family members. Our heart goes out to the family of Heather. They are in our thoughts and prayers.

We also have heartful sympathy to the young children that have lost their mother. Heather had 4 children and they need our thoughts, prayers and comfort. We don’t know why things like this happen, but it is all of God’s master plan.

Keep these children in your daily prayers.

Those gathering in the home of Betty Vandegrift for the noon meal was Linda, Don and Greg Coble, Doug and Betty Vandegrift, Kim

and Lesia Jones, Dustin, Melinda and family, Darren and Sandy Vandegrift.

After enjoying our meal and visiting on this beautiful day, we all headed to the Christian Church Activity Building where we tried to crash Lucille’s 90th party. She was having a great time and everyone got a hug and a kiss when they walked through the door.

What a wonderful day and what a wonderful blessing this lady has been to so many and that is including our family.

She is priceless.

Was sorry to see that the voters did not pass the Everton School Bond.

If you don’t have a school, your town does-

n’t have anything. I don’t think anyone would like the thought of their children being bused to another school. Hopefully, this will appear again and everyone will step up to the plate and vote to pass this. I for one want to see our school stay.

On Sunday afternoon, I passed by neighbor, Richard Jones and he had a whole crew building fence. They worked on it for a couple days and boy, does it look nice. Son, Jackson Jones, wife ,Kim and 2 children were out there. Son-inlaw, Scott Doxtater, was helping and Richard’s brother, Stanley was helping. It sure looks great. A lot of hard work,

son of Steve Stamate of Ash Grove and Elizabeth "Thorpe" Vaughn of Webb City.

Well, Rick & I made it back from our trip to North Dakota just in time for the cold weather to follow us home. When we left up there last Monday morning, they had 2 to 4 inches on the ground & it was 19 degrees, not counting the wind chill which is a lot up there.

We had a rough drive until we got out of South Dakota and then the interstate cleared up.

Stopped one time at a rest stop and it took us 15 minutes to get out of the snow drifts. It was a pretty stressful drive home since we drove 16 hours straight thru.

But, we had a great time with Trevor and his family. Ate some good food, went to the movies and played lots of Jenga with the boys. Their little fingers were really good at this game. It was sad leaving them but they hope to come here this summer.

Got all my laundry caught up in time to work Wednesday and Thursday.

TRUDELL NEWS by Blanche Trudell

\There has been a lot going on this week.

The Power and Light Company got all the trimming done on the farm.

That was fun to watch as the guys with the boom could reach all the overhanging trees and not worry about any trees hitting the power lines.

All the boom was made of was fiberglass and didn’t conduct electricity.

We got a lot of trees trimmed that were in the road around the farm and

got to keep all the firewood for our family this winter. That was a winwin situation. Only the Burrows have to come and clean up the firewood.

Joe has cleaned up some of the wood around the gate and close to the house. Even though it was cold, he even got some other work done outside in the cold.

Well, we had a business meeting at Community of Christ and I am the pastor for another year,

with Gerald Sullivan and Verna Tipper as co-pastors. That is a big help as I am relieved of some of the stress.

We were privileged to have Nancy Shanahan come over Tuesday evening for supper and played a few games, and got all the world straightened out again. Boy, we can do a good job of that.

Now all we have to do is get the people out to vote, so we can make things go the way we tell them to.

HA! HA!

FORGET-ME-NOTS by Gail Leaming

Sorry about last week with missing the items in the paper, but we have now have become one in three people that have cancer.

Ron was possibly diagnosed as having melanoma and we are busy making plans to get into M.D. Anderson in Texas. In the meantime, he is at home taking infusion for his foot which seems to have the same problem as my arm had.

It all comes from that wreck four years ago and the hospital that refused to treat us for 3 days because of OBAMA CARE. Don’t ever tell us that

it is a good insurance for the people of the USA. Anyway, last week was spent in the hospital arguing with doctors about his heart (he has no problem there) and trying to get them to do something about his foot and arm. It was a circus of doctors who all were good but didn’t listen to us very well.

By the way, does everyone in reader land know that you can fly for free out of Bartlesville, Oklahoma for Houston, Texas? Phillips Petroleum Co. provides this for all cancer patients for free everyday. What a won-

derful thing.

I hear that Lonnie Pennell got an 8-point buck on the first day.

Three cheers!! And congrats to Sonny Weinstein’s grandson for his first deer. Does that mean grandpa gets to teach skinning and dressing now?

This is good hybernating weather for me. I don’t like the cold but am willing to curl up with hot chocolate or chili any cold day.

A thank you to all the prayers and friends who have reached out to us.

We need to send prayers for Larry Ehrsam

but when you step back and look at it, boy, it sure looks good and feels good that its done. But it is never done on a farm.

The holidays are upon us and I am not ready. It has been so wild at work. One took another job; one out on surgery.

I have started my Christmas shopping, but there is no way I will be done by Thanksgiving and I don’t like that. A lot of people like to shop on line, but not me.

Denny Jones, of Kansas City, arrived at our house on Friday afternoon. Tis the season for gun season. Yeah!!

Hope everyone has a great week.

Patty Killingsworth had a vein stripped from her leg last Tuesday and will have the other leg done this week. She had a few rough days last week so I hope this one goes better.

Earl is finally getting to feel better, but they both have really been under the weather. I wish Pat a speedy recovery and I hope she doesn't over do it too soon. She isn't liking not being able to do anything.

Rod & Cheryl O'Connor went to Phoenix for Rod's check-up at the Cancer Center last week.

He got a good report and his tumors are shrinking so the chemo is doing its job. His blood count was down, so he will get a little bit of a break before starting the next round.

Continue to keep this family in your prayers.

Our area had several deaths this past week and I want to extend sympathy to all their families: Ray Gold, 43, of Everton; Erma Farrier, 89, of Greenfield; Janice Mustin, 64, Lockwood; and Roderick Gripe, 32, formerly of Lockwood.

Saturday, Rick & I at-

tended Jayce & Mayce Baker's ballgames at Willard. They have a pretty good fan club with David & Tina Yocom, James Baker, us & their parents.

Ran into Amanda "Dodd" & her family. Her son, Marshall, was playing on the opposing team. Also ran into Dale Hull who had a grandson playing us, too.

We will probably be seeing a lot of each other thru the season.

After the game, ran into Springfield to get groceries and stopped at Wendy's for a bite to eat and enjoyed lunch with Terry Kile. His wife, Bev, is home recuperating from hip surgery. We wish her a speedy recovery.

That night, Rick & I attended visitation for Heather McGuire. Then on Sunday, I attended her funeral service. We need to keep this family in our prayers for they are going thru a very difficult time and little Baylor, 2, will be going back to St. Louis for some prepping before her major heart surgery next week.

I hear opening week-

end of deer season was a huge success for many hunters. I believe this cold snap really had the deer out and moving.

Saw a lot of big racks and happy hunters.

Karen Wolfe & her son, Preston, came down for the weekend and spent it with her parents, Howard & Carolyn Wilkinson. Preston was happy he got his deer with the help of Grandpa Howard.

I know Dusty & Melinda Jones family is very happy with their deer hunt.

Sunday, Rick & I and Leon & Tina enjoyed the spaghetti feed at the high school put on by the Project Graduation for lunch.

I hope they had a good turn out but the blowing snow might of kept some away; hope not!! It was very good and a lot of work goes into these fund raisers.

Hopefully by the end of the week we will be having some warmer temperatures. I'm sure not liking old man winter.

Nancy tells me that the flu is going around again, so I am staying close to home as I am trying to stay well.

I have been busy trying to get the Trudell Farm Hotel ready for all the deer hunters. I bet it is cold enough that I won’t have as many hunters this year. I have seen deer everywhere and our neighbor girl even hit one going up the hill from her place.

I may try to go out this year, but I won’t stay

out very long.

Lisa Ross is back from Italy. She says she had a great time, but got tired. That is one country that I didn’t go to when I went to Europe in 1980.

That’s a long time ago, but I had a good time then and I went to 8 countries. Even watched the Passion Play in Germany.

I am almost done with Christmas shopping, and getting ready for Thanksgiving. I will see a lot of my family here at deer season.

Let us remember to pray for all those who are serving our country, (the wars and rumors of war don’t look good), pray for those who are in the nursing homes, all the people who have been sick or lost loved ones, and all the homeless people that are out in the cold, and people that need assistance with fuel during the winter.

God Bless America!

And May God bless us all!

and his eye. What a bummer.

I hear that Paul T. is back home but haven’t seen him yet.

Thank goodness for Austin Harshaw who drove by and saw the lights on in the rental and turned off the electricity and drained the pipes and flushed the stools. I had called the electric company that morning but they had failed to flip the switch.

Anastazia had surgery this week and I couldn’t go see her. Offered to baby sit, but they had that covered.

Evelyn Gasper came

down from Independence, Missouri. to see Ron but brought Clea and me the neatest Christmas present and I have played with it for 2 days and it isn’t even all here yet.

What they can do with electronics now days.

What a wonderful cousin we have. Absolutely awesome.

George Leaming came in from North Carolina and has spent time everyday with Ron. I hope he knows how much Ron appreciates it and the chores he has done around here. Just sitting here with Ron while he sleeps, Ron was

at peace.

Henry Leaming came to see Ron one day and that was a picker upper.

Wilma and Edith Pennell called to say they had a quilt done and the Red Oak quilters said they had another one done. That about catches me up on all the sewing I did last year before my shoulder blew up.

Russ called to say that they had been hunting for Ivy (one of their dogs) for 6 or more hours before someone caught her and called. THANK you, Justin Crawford.

EBENEZER PRESBYTERIAN

Mary K. Glunt

Pastor Ebenezer Presbyterian Church P.O. Box 393 Greenfield, MO revmkg@sbcglobal.net

The time has come.

Earlier today (Sunday, November 16), I preached my last sermon at Ebenezer, and tonight I write my last regular article for the Vedette. It has been a wonderful almost seven years, and I appreciate every one of you who has been one of my readers. I enjoyed meeting you and hearing how these articles have affected you and wish I had the time to meet with all of my readers.

In this parting message, I want to talk about you, about how you view yourself and how God views you. You see, many of us have a negative view of ourselves, of our abilities and our purpose in this world.

We’re our own worst critics, especially when we have made a mistake, or even worse, made intentional decisions that hurt another.

Today’s Bible reading tells the story of three servants. A man went away on a journey and left his wealth with three of his servants. No doubt they were tested servants being groomed for a much larger task. Perhaps this was a test

Legals...

Parting Message: Using Our Gifts

of their ability to manage the master’s wealth.

They received five talents, two talents and one talent, respectively. One talent equaled about 15 years’ wages for a laborer, so even one talent was a great deal of money. The first two invested the money and doubled it on the master’s return, but the third hid the money because he was afraid to lose it. We might be just as tempted to hide our money for fear of losing it, especially with the current financial crisis! When the master returned from his journey, he congratulated the first two servants on doubling his money, but when the third handed back just what he had received, the master was angry.

We, like the servants in the parable, have received many “talents” from God, left in our care until his return. As a steward of God’s blessings, which servant do I choose to emulate? The third servant made several mistakes. But the main problem was to not trust the master or himself. He was controlled by fear and pride, which caused him to fail.

Estate No. 14DD-PR00046

NOTICE OF HEARING ON PETITION TO DETERMINE HEIRS OF DECEDENT

To All Persons: who claim any interest in the property, real or personal, of BOBBY LEE PATTON, the above named decedent, as an heir of said decedent or through any heir of said decedent, including any unknown heirs: You are hereby notified that a Petition has been filed in the Probate Division of the Circuit Court of Dade County, Missouri, under the provisions of Section 473.663 RSMo., requesting the court to determine the heirs of the above named decedent who, according to the Petition died on the 31st day of August, 2008. The petition states that the decedent left property having a current value of $6,800.00, and that the heirs of the decedent, their relationships to the decedent, and their addresses are as follows:

Bobby Lee Patton was divorced at the time of his death, and had two children, namely: Keith Lee Patton - 97 S. Dade 181, Greenfield, MO 65661 Bryan Patton - Unknown Address, Republic, MO

Petitioner’s Attorney is Jeffrey Christian Sowash, 2075 South Boston Place, Bolivar, Mo 65613, Phone: (417)327-2223.

All persons who claim an interest in the property of the decedent as an heir or through an heir, are hereby notified to appear in the Probate Division of the Circuit Court of Dade County, Missouri, at 300 West Water Street, Greenfield, MO

We are given many gifts to use until our Master’s return, for our Master’s glory. Most often we fail to recognize our gifts.

Because we haven’t been entrusted with great wealth or with a tremendous singing voice or the ability to preach before thousands, we assume we have nothing to work with. Friends, even if you are not the 5-talent servant, you are still blessed and enabled by the Holy Spirit for the work of God. Why don’t we use our gifts? We, too, fear failure.

Maybe we fear disappointing God. More likely, we fear being embarrassed by others’ criticisms. Whatever the reason, we allow our fear and pride to keep us from the tasks that will bless God and advance His kingdom, even if that advance is only to encourage one other person.

What is keeping you from serving God with all He has given? Take some time to inventory your gifts and “talents.” Which of God’s gifts have you hidden because of fear or pride? Confess your weakness to God and trust the

Mrs. Dotson’s WILDCAT WEEKLY Submitted by Mrs. Mary Dotson Greenfield Elementary Principal

We are almost to the middle of 2nd Quarter already, the snow may start flying soon, and the holidays are upon us! There are always so many activities, both at school and in all of our own private lives, that it seems like it before you know it, you blink, and another year has gone by. I would like to take a moment, slow down and reflect on what I find amazing about G r e e n f i e l d Elementary, the students, and community we serve.

1. Our students are No matter amazing. what is going on in their lives, they take time to help out friends, teachers or other people they come across. If you have been following our kindness challenge updates on Facebook, you will see kindness reflected in the daily actions of our students.

2. Our teachers are amazing. They come in early. They stay late. Not because they are paid extra, or get recognition,

but because they want to make a difference in their students' lives.

3. The Greenfield community is amazing.

When someone is hurting, or if a need makes itself known, this community cares enough to come together to make a difference.

4. Our school is amazing. We continue to make great strides in the areas of Language Arts and Math, earning 93.8% of the points possible on our last data evaluation

by DESE in those subject areas. We will strive to earn 100% next year in those areas. We earned 100% in the areas of attendance and subgroup achievement. These are scores that are not easily met, and we have a lot to be proud of at Greenfield Elementary!

This month we are working on showing gratitude. I am grateful for a loving family, a warm home on these cold fall and winter nights, and I am grateful to be a Wildcat!

Soybean: Assessing Freeze Damage Submitted by Jill Scheidt Agronomy Specialist

A late maturing season and freezing temperatures have raised some concerns on effect on soybean yield. Generally, temperatures dropping below 30 degrees F for any length of time will kill soybean plants. Soybeans at the R7 stage (one yellow pod over 50% of plant population) are at the least level of risk from a frost or freeze and loss is generally minor. Soybeans in the R6 stage (swollen green beans in green pods) can sustain damage, usually more loss associated with quality than quantity. R6 soybeans that sustain frost or freeze damage can have a shriveled seed coat and can retain the green color, which potentially can become lighter over time if stored. Soybeans in early stages than R6 can sustain significant losses, especially if temperatures fall enough to result in complete foliage loss.

If a soybean field sustains severe frost/freeze damage soybeans should be harvested between 16% and 18% moisture and then dried to below 13% for safe storage.

Shatter loss can increase in frost/freeze damaged soybeans when allowed to field dry below 16%.

The longer soybeans stay in the field after matur-

ing, the greater the risk of shattering.

Frost damaged soybeans will probably be more difficult to harvest; combine therefore, threshing adjustments may need to be made. If soybean seeds and pods are mature, but stems are green, be patient. The harvest process must be taken much slower to allow the residue to clear the combine. Freezing temperatures do not kill stems quickly, so it is better to run at a slower pace than wait for stems to dry and risk shatter.

Soybean Drying In-bin drying with natural air by running fans is usually enough to drop moisture 2 to 3 points when air temperature is 60 degrees F or above and relative humidity is below 75%.

Beans above 16% moisture should have fans running continuously and may need supplemental heat but one must be careful since soybeans are more fragile than grain crops such as corn.

Air temperature increases of 5-15 degrees F is generally sufficient. Relative humidity should always be maintained about 40% to protect the seed coat and relative humidity is cut in half for each 20 degrees that the air is warmed.

Garden Journal Available from MU Extension

Submitted by David Burton Civic Communications Specialist

There are many steps to creating a beautiful, productive garden. Soil preparation, mulching, adding compost, starting seeds, when to plant and when to harvest are just a few things you need to understand to create a successful garden.

Donna Aufdenberg, Sarah Denkler and Katie Kammler, horticulture specialists with University of Missouri Extension, have created "From Seed to Harvest and Beyond: Garden Journal and Calendar" to help both beginners and experienced gardeners.

The spiral-bound book includes graphs for

designing gardens. There is also information on gardening with children, container gardening, planning a flower garden and more.

The journal also provides a listing of monthly activities in the garden which makes it a great tool for beginning and experienced gardeners.

The journal has pages of pests and diseases, pages for flower gardening, and tools for rotating crops and tracking pH and nutrients.

LOCKWOOD NEWS

by Retha Jones

Last week, LaRue Lemons celebrated her birthday by serving cake to birthday friends and family and residents of Good Nursing Shepherd Home. I believe most of her family were here most of the day.

I’m still here at Good Shepherd but I was told I would soon be moved to the upper floor along with Olivia.

Son, J.L., arrived late Monday afternoon from Quincy, Illinois and left Tuesday afternoon.

Sunday afternoon, I attended the Worship Lutheran Service here at the home.

I have therapy twice a day, every day, except the weekends.

And it is helping me. I can do most everything for myself. I can walk with a walker quite a distance, in fact the length of the hall.

We have had some really windy days and snow winter has started-cold.

I’m thankful I’m in where it is nice and warm.

Tuesday was Veterans Day. The high school gave a special Veterans Day program that morning. John and I always attended these.

That afternoon, some members of the high school presented a nice Veterans Program here at the home.

It was good. Everyone received a small flag.

Residents appreciate special programs that come. I believe the home had nine veter-

ans present. Each received a plaque. November 11, Veterans is resident Day, Lawrence Von Stroh’s birthday.

We have 7 members from our church who are patients or residents here.

Mary Kahre has been so faithful in bringing me the last of her blooming petunias.

She also shared them with Olivia.

Tuesday afternoon, my neighbor, Mr. Charles, entertained us with guitar and singing. This afternoon, we had bingo hosted by Greenfield Men’s Civic Club.

Continue to keep Madge Thompson in your prayers. She will soon start her treatments. James Schilling continues about the same, at times he seems to be aware of surroundings.

One never knows. the Remember Community Thanksgiving Service, November 23rd, 7:00 p.m., at Mt. Nebo Baptist Church.

Be thankful you don’t have everything you desire. If you did, what would there be to look forward to?

Norma Beckley had knee surgery this week. Wishing her a speedy recovery.

counted for 964 of the harvest, or almost 17 percent. Adult hens accounted for 1,588 of the harvest, or almost 28 percent. Juvenile gobblers accounted for 950, or almost 17 percent, and juvenile hens for 2,189 or about 38 percent.

MDC sold 14,117 fall firearms turkey hunting permits for this past season, a 5-percent drop from last year.

There were also lots of tractors and equipment. “My favorite part of the day was the horses and ATV’s” said Kateland

Quintin Farrier said, “My favorite part was looking at the outdoor furnace displays.”
