Care to Learn To Establish a Chapter in Greenfield Submitted by Crystal Quade, Director of Chapter Services

Jeff Davis, superintendent, Natasha Myers, R.N., Mary Dotson, elementary principal, Jeff Hinsley, high school principal, Jami Adams, counselor, Becky Landers, counselor, and Renee Meents, president of school board from the Greenfield School District along with committee members Stefanie Hurt, Nicole Sparkman and Pam Allen all met with Morey Mechlin, Executive Director of Care to Learn and Crystal Quade, Director of Chapter Services along with the Community Foundation of the Ozarks to establish a Care to Learn Chapter in Greenfield, Missouri.

Care to Learn was founded in 2008 by local businessman Doug Pitt to immediately meet the needs of students in the areas of health, hunger and hygiene.

As of June 30, 2014, Care to Learn has fulfilled almost 350,000 emergent requests, and has chapters in Bolivar, Bradleyville, Clever, Fordland, Greenfield, Hazelwood, Hurley, Logan-Rogersville, Nixa, Ozark, Republic, Sparta, Springfield, St. Charles, Union Star, Warrenton, and Willard.

The Greenfield School District has a population of 446 students with 73% enrolled in the free/reduced lunch program.

Care to Learn will work with existing service providers, local businesses and community members to make certain that Greenfield students have the resources they need to be successful in school.

Keep Smiling

By Sara Johnston

I want to write something that is uplifting to the individuals out there that are experiencing ‘good times’ and ‘bad times’. We all have those days sooner or later.

When great days occur, we are so moved with overwhelming joy.

Then when horrible days come, we are filled with uneasiness, questions.

There has been a lot of turmoil in the surrounding areas.

When individuals walk in the ‘shoes’ that you do, whoever is going through heartaches, you would understand. It is tough. Those moments

are the time to reach out to the ones who love you.

Cry out your hearts and let your thoughts of pain be known. We can overcome and much joy will happen. It is a journey we can get through.

There is so much to be thankful for this time of the year. Meditate on that for a while. We just take one day at a time.

You need to make that choice.

I am ‘smiling’ now and I have a grateful heart towards the Lord who was with me through the whole journey. He will be with you also.

Ministerial Alliance Chili & Soup Dinner

alize that there was a need in our community for something to help meet our children’s basic needs.

“Our community has a lot of great resources already in place, however there are some gaps. My husband sat in on a luncheon discussing Care to Learn and he brought me the paperwork feeling that it would be something we might be interested in.

“I sat down and read the information and felt like this is exactly what we needed to help fill those gaps. I contacted Care to Learn the next day. discussing After what I found out with Mr. Davis, our building principals and ultimately the school board, we were all on the same page that a Care to Learn Chapter would be beneficial for our students.

“We now have a great committee put together from different areas of the community and we are ready to help in any way we can.

“I feel like this Chapter gives us the tools we need to help our children be healthy, happy and successful in school.

“It is an amazing resource in our community that will help the school district and our patrons immensely. We have already helped our first child get much needed dental work done so that they could be in class learning without pain.

“I love how easy the process is. A teacher sees a need that is not being met, and we can meet it quickly and confidentially so that they can focus on being a student and on just being a kid.

“We look forward to what the future of this Care to Learn Chapter

means to our students,” says Natasha Myers, nurse for Greenfield School District.

If you are interested in making a tax deductible donation to Care to Learn- Greenfield, you can do so by mailing a check made out to Care to Learn Greenfield to Care to Learn- 411 North Sherman Parkway, Springfield, MO 65802.

You may also stop by either school with a check made payable to Care to Learn- Greenfield or donate online at www.caretolearnfund.org and choose Greenfield from the drop down menu.

100% or money raised will be used on Greenfield kids. We have a donor that will match funds up to $3,500 so your donation will automatically double! We appreciate your support!

Another year has rolled around and it is once again time for our Christmas Chili and Soup Dinner that will be served immediately following our Annual City Christmas parade here in Greenfield.

We want to encourage everyone attending the parade to stop by the High School Cafeteria from 11:00 a.m. till 1:30 p.m. for some delicious chili and homemade pie. Then be sure and stay around for the pie auction around 12:30 p.m.

On behalf of the Dade County Area Ministerial Alliance, we want to take this opportunity to thank you all for the continued support of the Alliance.

We especially want to thank the Ebenezer Presbyterian Church

for the grant that was given to the Alliance.

This money came at a time that our funds were at the lowest level, under $300.00.

We are grateful that we are able to serve the Dade County residents in their time of need.

Thanks for your support.

We will continue bell ringing fund-raiser through Christmas Eve. We are always in need of more bell ringers. If you would like to help, please call Pastor Dykes at 417637-5157. Leave a message and he will contact you.

REALL Comes To Everton

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

By Cheryl Konarski

Most students feel they know what they need to do to be successful after school – finish high school, go to college, get a good paying job and start a family.

Although they know this is what they should do, most don’t realize how important it is.

During the REALL Event at Everton High School on Friday, November 21, 2014, they soon found out the importance of a good education.

For the third year, the staff from Dade County OACAC descended on Everton to bring the REALL Program to the Everton High School students. REALL stands for Reality Enrichment and Life Lessons.

This program is designed to teach youth about decision-making and potential consequences of those decisions.

Research has shown poor decision making to be a contributing factor in youth engaging in problematic behavior such as substance abuse, school failure, delinquency or early unprotected sexual activity. During the simulation, students are presented with the opportunity to live two adult lives.

As students came into the gym they signed in and then were asked to take a seat. Each seat contained a packet of information regarding the two “lives” they would live during the simulation.

One life showed the results of making reactive decisions and the potential consequences of those decisions. Their second life presented the opportunity to live the life of someone who completed their high school education and made

proactive decisions.

After they lived their lives, the students broke up into groups to reflect on the contrast between the two lives.

Teachers, staff and adults from the community assisted in role playing various duties such as banker, probation officer, police, child care, loan services, employment office, utilities, social services, stores and interfaith services.

Students had to use these services as they would in real life – dropping off the “kids” at daycare, going to work or looking for work, paying bills, reporting to their probation officer or social services, cashing paychecks and shopping.

The students began with their life as a high school dropout. Some students were also tagged as offenders with anything from sex offender to past felon. These tags resulted in additional consequences if they did not report to their probation officer or if they had the wrong interactions based on their type of offense.

Undercover officers patrolled the area, picking up students for various

criminal activities. Students were arrested for not reporting to their probation officer and other offences.

Others were reported to social services for failing to pick up their children from child care.

Employment was also a frustrating situation for several students. One repeatedly applied for a job – once her application was lost, then the second time there were no jobs available.

Others forgot to drop their children off at daycare prior to reporting for work, so they were turned away.

In addition to all this, students also had to buy travel passes which simulated gas expenses. These passes ran out quickly, showing students how quickly things like gas can impact your finances.

Students were issued children with special circumstances – some had children but were paying child support, others were not receiving support from the other parent, while others paid daycare expenses for those children.

A flu epidemic was also simulated, requiring all “parents” to pick up their children from day-

care, resulting in not being able to work that day.

Others had unexpected expenses such as school pictures and school book orders.

Students were also issued eviction notices or cutoff notices for utilities.

It seemed that each action a student took triggered off many other reactions. They got to see a very real simulation of what life can be like with poor choices.

After students got a taste of this life, they were able to switch to their second life after completing high school.

This was a welcome relief for students as their circumstances greatly improved – salaries went up, no longer were they labeled as offenders, they were able to support their families, and some even were able to buy luxury items such as ballgame tickets, nice clothing and other fun things that were a distant dream in their former life.

They found they had money left at the end of the week which was a very welcome change. They found these lives much less stressful as they did not

struggle with day-to-day expenses as much.

Students came away from the event with a new perspective on their future.

Freshman, Elizabeth Carter, stated, “It was really realistic – as much as they could make it. It taught me not to have kids until I have a good job. I liked how you had to go in and spend at least half a week at your job because that was also realistic.”

Sophomore, Shana Davis, had this to share; “I thought it was a really interesting experience and it taught a lot about what your choices could lead to in your future. At first it was difficult and long but then as time went by it got easier and faster. It was worth doing again.”

Tucker Gillaspy, a junior, stated “A really good eye-opening experience. It helps you to see how the choices you make early in life can really affect the outcome of how the rest of your life unfolds.”

Senior, Jake Johansen, shared the following – “I liked it. I thought it was good for people to see how to manage their money. It really kind of opened our eyes to see that that life is

not just a box of chocolates.”

Students agreed that the REALL program was a great experience.

The adults that participated also agreed. They noticed that the students were facing challenges that many of them had never realized were out there.

Lisa Corbitt, school counselor who coordinated the program with OACAC, felt that it worked really well. “Even the students who initially resisted participating felt it was worthwhile. In my job in the REALL Learning Center, I felt the students learned valuable lessons such as getting receipts for all payments and keeping tight reins on your finances.

“Every decision they made had both good and bad consequences.”

Mrs. Corbitt would like to see the program brought back to Everton.

She would also like to thank the many volunteers and school faculty and staff for assisting, administration for supporting the event, and the staff from OACAC for facilitating the event.

THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK The secret of a good sermon is to have a good beginning and good ending and to have the two as close together as possible. George Burns Never sing in the shower. Singing leads to dancing and dancing leads to slipping and falling leads to paramedics seeing you naked.

I am thankful for my

struggles because without it I wouldn’t have stumbled across my strength.

Dade County Commission Meeting

By Carolyn Head, Dade County Reporter, Lamar Democrat

The Dade County Commission met on Monday, October 20, 2014 at 9:00 a.m. Those present were Randy Daniel, David Rusch, Dallas Maxwell and Melinda Wright.

Motion was made to approve the October 16, 2014, minutes as corrected, two yes votes taken.

November 10 through the 17th bids will be received and decision of bid letting for road 181, East of Greenfield was discussed regarding moving the entrance to the highway, to be safer for traffic over all.

Last week a call regarding gravel on the road, it was a personal issue, not a township action regarding the gravel. A young person hit the gravel and overturned vehicle and was not injured. The incident was not a county action matter. This was on West Dade 152.

Dan Long met with the commission regarding current projects.

The discussion was in regards to the bridgework, progress and improvements, etc.

The commission learned that on Thursday or Friday past, Jim Moon, of South Township, home burned and lost everything.

The building (old Stemmons Law Firm) has an interested party; the commission discussed selling as a special bid option, no definite decision made at this time.

Larry Boyd inquired regarding a job to bid on. The commission advised him to meet with contractors tomorrow at 1 p.m., also on the 27th to give everyone an opportunity to bid. The objective is to angle the corner to come out better than previously.

Commissioner Daniel advised he would be attending the Council Extension tonight.

The commission checked on a culvert on N. Dade 61, checked on a tinhorn on N. Dade 61 and W Dade 112, checked on a brush complaint on W. Dade 144.

Main Street Baptist met Sunday morning at 9:30 for Sunday school.

We adjourned to the Sanctuary at 10:45 for Worship Service. The praise choir led us in singing “Forever.”

Pastor Rodney’s message was on Thanksgiving. Romans 8:26-28: In the same way the spirit also joins to help in our weakness, because we do not know what to pray for as we should, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with unspoken groaning and he who searches the hearts knows the spirit’s mind set, because he intercedes for the saints according to the Will of God. We know that all things work together for the good of those who love God: those who are called according to his purpose.

A. Those who are called Rev. 3:20, Romans 10: 13. B. Those who love God, Matt: 22:37, Hebrews 1:9, Ephesians 5:1820. Be filled with the spirit, speaking to one another in Psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing and making music from your heart to the Lord, giving thanks always for everything, to God the Father, in the

name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Take a moment to reflect on a difficult time.

Will you trust God to work his good through this trial? Will you give thanks for all things not just the good? Thank God now for the trials. Take a moment to thank God for the good things, your food, friends, church, shelter and community. It is always appropriate to thank God for his provisions. Give Thanks always.

B. Scripture tells us of many who endured hardships but responding with Thanksgiving resulting in good, remembering Job, Jonah, David, Daniel, Mary and Paul. May we become a church known for our faith in God that does not waiver?

C. Weekly activities include Choir Practice, Bible Drill on Sunday nights, Monday morning Bible Study, Tuesday Team Kids, Wednesday night Prayer and Bible Study.

D. Rodney Harrison and the congregation invite you to come worship with us.

Cookie Walk

The Disciples Women of the Greenfield First Christian Church are holding a Cookie Walk on Friday, December 12th beginning at 7:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. at the Christian Church Activity Building.

You can pick up your plate and choose from an assortment of Christmas cookies and candy.

ward the Disciples Women’s Christmas activities: Christmas Plates for Shut-ins, Shoeboxes for Soldiers, and Adopting a Family.

Come by before work and choose your cookies and candy, or if you don’t have time we will have some made up for you. We will also deliver.

This is a perfect Christmas Gift for your neighbors and friends.

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 of-

fers 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 417-6372988 or 417-425-0188.

Students Visit Scott Regional Tech Center

Eighth grade students from Miller, Purdy, Southwest and Verona hear what is it like to attend Scott Regional Technology Center.

By Pam Wormington

Eighth grade students from Miller, Purdy, Southwest and Verona visited the Scott Regional Technology Center (Scott Tech).

The goal of the tour was to explain career opportunities available as a result of successfully participating in programs

available at Scott Tech.

“The tours allow the 8th grade students to experience first hand what SRTC has to offer,” according to Laurie Woolfolk, Student Career Advisor. “It is important for students to be aware of their options now; as 8th graders they will de-

velop a Personal Plan of Study outlining their high school courses soon.”

While at Scott Tech, students participated in activities learning about personalities and the importance of considering their personality when choosing a career. They also utilized technology

to identify tools used in industry and the Scott Tech programs, as well as being informed of the admission requirements for Scott Tech.

As juniors and seniors, the sending high

This is a short week with Thanksgiving.

A young family in Everton, Jimmy and Jammie (Maggard) Nichols and their two children, lost their home and all their belonging to a house fire. The school is putting together a fund raiser to help this family out. Mark your calendar for December 6 from 8-10 am for a pancake feed to be held at the Applebee’s in Springfield on the north side at Glenstone and Kearney.

You can purchase the tickets from the Everton School for $5.00 or ask to buy your ticket when you get to Applebee’s that morning.

For more information you can contact the school at 417-535-2221.

Let’s pull together to help this family and enjoy some pancakes together. Any act of kindness would be very much appreciated by this

family.

Deepest sympathy to the families of Kenneth Mallory. His wife, Linda, was the Everton School secretary and bookkeeper for many years.

Keep this family in your prayers.

The former Sue Hurd Harley passed away recently. She has a daughter, Lisa, that went to school at Everton. Sue is a sister to Fabian Hurd of Everton. They just recently lost a brother, Allen Hurd, this summer.

Keep all their loved ones in your prayers.

Wade and William have both had strep throat and had to miss some school. William has had a bad school year so far as he has had a lot of problems with virus, etc. Of course, MiMi kisses all over him and then finds out the next day he is sick. He sure wasn’t sick that Sunday.

As Uncle Jacob says,

these little kids are pure poison. But they sure are loveable.

On Saturday morning, I got up and stained some more boards. Fixed breakfast for Jacob. Then Kelbey and Asa came to help work cattle. I headed to Springfield to do some shopping and proud to say, after 5 hours in Springfield, I have over half of it done.

On Saturday night, Kelbey and Asa enjoyed going out with friends, Katelyn and Phillip.

They enjoyed a movie and supper out.

Kim, On Sunday, myself, Asa, Kelbey, Jacob and Abby all went to church. After lunch, the guys helped Asa work his cattle.

Kelbey had several of the school gang over and they visited and had snacks in honor of Danny Giddings being back in the states after being gone in the Peace Corp

On Monday night, Kim and myself, Kelbey and Asa Bowles and Dustin Jones all attended the basketball game at Greenfield. They played against Everton. Kelbey had to keep telling us who some of the students were.

Former Everton graduate, Jon Flowers, is the coach for Everton this year. Everton girls only have five players, but they played their hearts out and kept running up and down that court.

Their sixth player is out with a knee injury, Abby Hargis. Wishing her a speedy recovery. This was the first game of the season so we came out to see two of our cousins play, Gavin Vandegrift and Ethan Vandegrift.

4. Pizza? Sounds like a leaning tower somewhere.

5. Bananas and oranges only appeared at Christmas time.

6. All chips were plain.

8. A Big Mac was what we wore when it was raining.

9. Brown bread was something only poor people ate.

Pineapples came in chunks in a tin; we had only ever seen a picture of a real one.

Eight is Enough

By Byron Shive Editor/Publisheer OzarksPrep.com

Sometimes things just don’t go according to plan.

Such was the case for Greenfield’s first-year head football coach and Athletic Director Steve Cole. After serving as a student assistant at the University of Arkansas and an assistant coach at Southwest Baptist University in the past five years, Cole coached defensive tackles at Glendale last season. He came to Greenfield this season with a chance to install his own system, instill his own coaching philosophy, and run his own program.

“My expectations were that we could come in and compete right away,” said Cole. “I never imagined that we would only have 13 student-athletes for football, but regardless, we learned how to improve and never gave up.”

Greenfield’s season ended without much fanfare on Oct. 24 with a 6822 loss to Tarkio in the district opener. The Wildcats posted a 1-8 record this season, but the mere fact that Greenfield had a season says a lot about his assistant Cole, coaches, and the players who snapped a chin strap for the Wildcats this fall.

This tale of perseverance and teamwork begins last June. The numbers were low over the summer, but Cole and his assistants assumed that more kids would come out for football as August got closer.

That wasn’t the case.

“We first noticed that our numbers were low in June, but we kept thinking more students would get involved as we neared fall camp,” said Cole. “On the third day of fall camp, we decided to play 8-man.”

By “8-man,” Cole is referring to 8-man football, in which teams play with eight players per side rather than the customary 11 per team.

There are some other differences, too, such as the field being 20 yards shorter in 8-man. Yes, it’s football, but schematically and fundamentally, it is an entirely new sport.

“There are only five men on the line,” said Cole of some of the biggest differences between the two sports.

“Blocking is harder because you have to keep an extra man in to block, so we lose a wide receiver. Defensively, it is very different. It is very hard to be fundamentally sound and still get pressure on the quarterback.

Most of the time, you have to play man coverage and send an extra guy so they do not have all day to throw. The game definitely depends on which team has the best athletes.”

Greenfield definitely has athletes, some of whom were a part of the Wildcats’ Class 1 state track and field championship last spring. What the Wildcats did not have was experience playing 8-man football. Add to the lack of experience the fact that Greenfield was limited in numbers to begin with, and the Wildcats had to basically learn a new sport on the fly in just a handful of practices.

“We had to put in our offense and defense in one week before our first game,” said senior Carl Mason, who played tight

It looks like "regular" football, but 8-man football features fewer linemen, more wide open attacks and lots of points.

end for the Wildcats. “We had one week to prepare for a whole new game, whereas other teams had been practicing all summer. It’s a faster game speed and there are higher scores. There are several different rules.

It’s just a different game.”

“Numbers were definitely the biggest problem,” said Cole. “We never had a scout team to compete against. We could not do a lot of tackling drills for the risk of getting someone hurt. If we lost one person, we might not be able to play the game that week.

About half of the team played every snap this season. I think that speaks to their character and work ethic more than anything. There was never any complaining.

Some of the players got hurt, but they just kept swinging and fighting.”

“The quick fire pass plays and the smaller field were the biggest differences,” said senior Coleman Whitaker, an offensive and defensive lineman for the Wildcats.

“Our biggest challenges were our low numbers and overcoming the late game tiredness.”

In addition, once the decision was made in early August to play 8man, Greenfield also did not have a schedule.

Greenfield’s originally scheduled opponents, including the rest of the Spring River Valley Conference, were given an option: play 8-man against Greenfield or find a different opponent.

Cole was left to work the phones trying to put together a schedule for the Wildcats. There are 20 other 8-man football teams in Missouri, but most of them are scattered up north along the Iowa border. Most of them already had their schedules filled, too. The schedule gradually came together, but it was often a week-to-week proposition.

“Developing a schedule was difficult,” said Cole, who had to adopt an “anywhere, anytime” mentality, as most teams were not willing to make the trek to Dade County.

That resulted in a schedule that included just two home games, plus an unintentional “bye” week on Oct. 10.

“We had to travel a lot, but we had a very supportive administration behind us,” said Cole. “The fans traveled up to four hours to watch us play every week, and

they were amazing. The main issue with scheduling was the travel distance. We were fortunate that some schools consolidated, so that freed up some games and we picked those up.”

Greenfield hosted Albany on Aug. 22 in the season opener on a hot, late summer night. There were plenty of fans on hand, most wearing blue, black and white, and many curious as to what they were about to witness. The Wildcats, who lost the game 66-0 to the far more experienced Warriors, received a baptism by fire. thing that One quickly stood out about 8-man football was the scoring…and lots of it.

The style of the game is suited to wide open, high scoring games. In fact, Albany would go on to average almost 62 points per game in its nine wins this season, including games of 84 and 88 points.

The entire offensive and defensive philosophy is different between 8-man and 11-man football. Cole, who had been waiting for his opportunity to be a head coach, had to scrap his entire playbook and start from scratch.

“In 8-man, you get four- to five-man pressure with only three offensive linemen blocking,” said Cole. “We kept a tight end or back in to block, but it did throw off our playbook.

A lot of teams we faced ran the veer option, and it can be hard to defend because it is basically all man-to-man. If one guy missed his assignment or did not make the play, it turned into six points very quickly.”

With the situation presented to Cole and the Wildcats, just playing football this fall was an accomplishment. Facing teams that were far more experienced with the 8man game, or teams with far more players, a win for the Wildcats was out of the question...or was it?On Sept. 12, after three-straight losses by a combined score of 16928, Greenfield took a nearly four-hour bus ride north of Kansas City to DeKalb. The Tigers have been playing 8-man football since MSHSAA first sanctioned the sport for the 1988 season, and have a couple of state runner-up finishes and the 2002 state championship on their 8-man resume.

Greenfield 14 DeKalb 12. Final.

“Beating DeKalb was

huge for us,” said Cole.

“I believe it gave the players some faith that things would get better if we kept working hard and doing the little things right. It was a four hour bus ride home, and I don’t think anyone slept because they were too excited.”

Although there were no more wins on the schedule, the Wildcats continued to improve throughout the season. In fact, Greenfield was playing its best football when the season ended. Despite the district-opening loss to Tarkio, the Wildcats rewrote the record book with their explosive, quick-hitting passing game.

Quarterback Mason Jones, who started the year at wide receiver, threw for 329 yards and three touchdowns on 21of-34 accuracy in the loss to Tarkio, all of which were school records.

Tight end Carl Mason caught 15 of those passes for 221 yards and a touchdown.

Jones is a shining example of Cole’s motto for the team: “Adapt and Adjust.” Jones lined up at receiver in the season opener, but injuries forced him to change positions…and forced him to learn an entirely new position in a week.

“He has a great attitude and work ethic,” said Cole of Jones. “He stepped up and learned the offense faster than I expected. He had played receiver all his life and had to come in and learn the quarterback position in the second week of the season. He took over and we never looked back.”

The Wildcats were forced to play “ironman” football, with everybody contributing on both sides of the ball, and on special teams.

Mason, the team’s standout tight end, also handled the punting duties for Greenfield. Sophomore Jerrett Esposito was a ball hawk on defense, and led the team in tackles while forcing 12 fumbles and recovering two.

Freshman Charles Servoss rushed for over 700 yards in eight games and averaged over 10 yards per carry, while Roy Beeson was the Wildcats’ most improved offensive and defensive lineman.

“These players deserve so much respect for fighting through a difficult situation, and they have laid the groundwork for the future,” said Cole. “They easily could have quit because it was tough or we did not have enough players. How-

ever, these young men dug in their heels and worked hard every day we asked. Over half of them played every snap of a football season, and I am not sure how many players around the country can say that.”

Cole was not alone in having to adapt as a coach. The Wildcats’ three assistant coaches (Lee Coleman, Brandon Thompson, and Josh Dobson) also had to take on new roles and learn the 8-man game from scratch.

“Lee Coleman is a true players coach,” said Cole. “All the players love him, and he has a very high football IQ. He helped in so many ways.

I never had to ask him to stay late and do something. He just gets the job done.

“Brandon Thompson was very beneficial this year,” added Cole of Thompson, who previously coached at and who Cassville brought the veer option offense to Greenfield.

“We turned to the veer midway through the season as a counter off the spread offense. He improved the offensive line drastically from game one through the last game.”

Dobson’s first year of coaching will always be memorable. “He did very well, and I think he learned a lot throughout the season,” said Cole.

“We look forward to working with him in the future. He is the motivator on our staff. He always had a speech to get the guys fired up when we needed it.”

The Greenfield administration was also supportive, providing whatever support was needed. Speaking of support, the town of Greenfield was unwavering in its loyalty. With a schedule that included just two home games, the Wildcat faithful made weekly road trips to whatever faraway destination was playing host to their boys in blue.

“The administration was great to work with,” said Cole. “They were very supportive, and we could not have done it without them this year.

(Principal) John Hinsley has helped in so many ways I cannot describe them all. (Superintendent) Jeff Davis has had our back since the first day.

Anything we needed, he got it done for us. The school, fans and town have all been very supportive, and we cannot wait until we can return the favor by

providing a great Friday night atmosphere again at Greenfield.”

All of the Wildcat players are appreciative of Cole, too, and how that he turned what could have been a disaster into a memorable season. One common lesson learned from Cole was to never give up, regardless of the task or odds.

“Coach Cole is a great guy and he cares a lot and it really shows,” said Jones. “He has showed us that we all go through rough patches and to just keep playing hard. I will always remember how that none of us quit on each other. No matter the size of our team or the record, we all played every game as hard as we could.”

“Coach Cole has done a lot of good and really cares about his players and the game of football,” said Esposito.

“I have learned a lot from this season, from playing with low numbers and from Coach Cole, but the most important lesson I’ve learned is to never give up. We had to overcome tremendous odds, but we kept football alive in Greenfield.”

Things did not go as planned this season for Greenfield, the 1977 Class 1A state champion that has a proud tradition and football history. The Wildcats could have skipped this season altogether, but it’s a whole lot easier to not start the program back up than it is to persevere and go with Plan B. “I want to say thank you to all the players, coaches and fans at Greenfield High School,” said Cole. “The season did not go the way we wanted or even anticipated. It will be a process to build this program into one that this community deserves, but that is what we are working toward every day of the year. Better days are ahead. The future is bright. This team did not let football die in Greenfield, and that speaks volumes for the kind of community that Greenfield is. They have raised quality young men.

“We have eight incoming freshman that are very talented, and we are counting on them to play next year,” added Cole.

“They have to hit the weight room hard this offseason, but I know they will be back at the top of Class 1 football. I am proud and humbled to be the football coach at Greenfield High School.”

Stockton Lake Eagle Days 2015 Submitted by Jared Deckard Natural Resource Specialist U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Stockton Lake, Missouri

At the beginning of each year, the Stockton Lake Association, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the Missouri Department of Natural Resources, and the Missouri Department of Conservation combine forces to bring the community a spectacle of nature’s beauty known as Eagle Days. The twenty first annual Eagles Days will be held on January 3rd, 2015 at 10:00 AM. Eagle Days lake tours offer a view point of Stockton Lake not seen from the roadway or campground and can offer a breathtaking view of nature’s beauty. To maximize convenience, three separate locations around the lake will be used for tour starting points; Orleans Trail Marina, Mutton Creek Marina, and Stockton State Park Marina. The marinas will be providing pon-

toon boats to ferry spectators to and from eagle observation areas. Due to limited seating on the tours, registration must be made prior to the event.

Warm up after your lake tour at the Ray Zumwalt Expo Center in Stockton. The Stockton Lions Club will be selling coffee, hot cocoa and doughnuts, and the Dickerson Park Zoo will be conducting an eagle program featuring two live species of eagles, a bald eagle and a golden eagle.

The hour long programs will begin on the hour starting at 10:00 AM and will continue through the day with the last program starting at 1:00 PM. No prior registration is necessary for the zoo’s eagle program.

Local Missouri Department of Conservation agents conduct annual eagle counts on the lake each year. These counts are conducted before the Eagle Days tour takes place revealing the eagle
