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. 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.

Village of South Greenfield Moves Location
Staff Reports Photos by Cletis McConnell Vedette Reporters
Due to the Village of South Greenfield trustees moving into a historic church building (donated to the Village several years back) some of the South Greenfield residents are upset. Michelle Gass, Chairman of the Village, along with trustees, had to make the decision because when a contractor was called upon for repairs on the town hall it was found due to termite damage, their town hall needed repairs beyond funds to do so with. The trustees of the village moved forward and moved the town hall business into the church and placed temporary walls up for office space. Michelle Gass, chairman, visited with The Vedette and hopes this to be a temporary move. At this time funds to redo the town hall are unavailable. They decided to make use of a building that was donated to the Village. After looking over the old town hall building, the insurance ad-
Historic church building that was donated to Village of South Greenfield several years ago is now Village Hall #2.
juster stated the building was a total loss and unrepairable. A room, approximately 10x12, was put up in one corner of the historic church by trustees who donated paint and six days of their time. The walls were put up with screws and can be taken down if and whenever needed. The phone, water, internet and electricity has been transferred, ready for meetings at village hall #2.

by Retha Jones Greetings from Retha at Good Shepherd Nursing Homes. Going home seems to be getting closer. I’m much improved, still have much to accomplish. Son, J.L., arrived from Quincy, Illinois, Friday afternoon and left for his home Saturday noon. While here, he took care of some business. How wonderful to have family. While here, he also visited Paul. Sunday being Advent Sunday during worship service at United Methodist Church, members picked a Chrismon to hang on the tree. Each Chrismon has a religious meaning. With sparkly lights and many Chrismons makes a beautiful, meaningful sight. Another beautiful big tree especially at night is the one on Main Street at the little park. It’s a big tree. I did not get to see its lights turned on Merchants Sales night. Two weeks from today is Christmas. Let’s all remember what Christmas is, besides gift giving. It’s the birth of our Savior. Tonight, roommate, Frieda and I started
watching Peter Pan. We soon decided we didn’t understand it all. Must be for kids! I’m sure they understand it better than us old people. Lockwood streets are pretty at night. Pretty lights. Good Shepherd is nicely decorated for the season. One girl is quite talented. There are a number of decorated trees and other decorations. Tuesday morning, at 10, there is bingo at the home. Then at 1:15 Thursdays, we have bingo sponsored by local organizations. That’s the big ones. We also have dominoes, Bible studies, and exercise classes. There’s much to attend. Tonight, singers from the Lutheran Church came to sing carols and visit. Not being out, I have no changes on our shut ins. “He who has no Christmas in his heart, will never find Christmas under a tree.” (Sunshine Magazine) May all have a Blessed Christmas.
Main Street Main Street Baptist met at 9:30 a.m. for Sunday School. We then adjourned to the sanctuary for worship services. The Praise Choir led us in singing “Your Grace Is Enough”. David presented special music from the Praise Choir and a solo. Pastor Rodney’s sermon was on the beginning of God’s great salvation. Genesis 3:1-7. 1. Punishment for sin. Adam lost the ability to enjoy the fruit of the tree of Knowledge forever. The ground was cursed and no longer was nature man’s best friend, it was his taskmaster. Adam was banished from the garden, no longer did he enjoy unbroken fellowship with God. 2. Promise of God: Verse 15. Victory is the Lord’s. Paul reminded the church at Rome, the peace of God shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. 3. The provision of mankind: Verse 21. The first blood sacrifice. Hebrews 9:22. Without the shedding of blood, there is no remission of sin. Matthew 26:28. For this is my blood of the New Testament which is shed for many, for the remission of sins. A. Accept the fact you need salvation. B. Jesus is our hope.
John 3: 16 C. Call on the Lord. We observed the Lord’s Supper, then adjourned with prayer and singing Joy to the World. We came back Sunday night for the “Hanging of the Greens”. Our church is now decorated for the holidays. We also enjoyed homemade hot chocolate together. The RAs and GAs made money banks to be filled and given to the Lottie Moon Christmas offering. Our church Holiday Dinner will be December 7th, after morning services. Weekly activities include Sunday night worship services at 6 p.m., Bible Drill and Choir practice. Team Kids on Tuesday, Bible and Book study, RAs, GAs, Mission Friends and Youth on Wednesday nights. Church Prayer Breakfast is the 1st Saturday morning of each month beginning at 8:00 a.m. in the Family Life Center. Pastor Rodney Harrison and the congregation at Main Street invite you to come and enjoy God’s Word with us. Would your church be open this Sunday if you had the only key?
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. The price for these delicious treats will be $8.00 a pound. Proceeds will go to-
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.

Don’t Lose Your Identity This December
Arvest Bank Provides Tips for How to Avoid ID Theft this Holiday Season Submitted by Amy Howe Marketing Officer Arvest Joplin
Not only is December one of the biggest shopping months of year, it’s also Identity Theft Prevention and Awareness Month. With an increasing number of people shopping online in addition to traditional means, it is important consumers know how to help protect themselves from identity thieves. Falling victim to these attacks not only can ruin the holiday shopping experience, but it can have devastating effects on credit and bank accounts long after the holidays end. Unraveling the damage done could take months. According to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), identity theft is the No. 1 type of consumer fraud in the U.S., resulting in about 9 million people annually having their identity stolen. “During the holiday season, individuals can be more likely to become victim to identity theft if they are making more purchases than usual,”
said Amy Howe, Marketing Manager at Arvest Bank in Joplin. “Identity theft is certainly a concern for us if it is something that concerns our customers.” Below are some tips created by the FTC that can help consumers avoid such an unfortunate event. • Keep tangible personal information documents secure. Lock financial documents and records in a safe place at home. Likewise, shred all documents that show personal, financial, and medical information before you dispose of them. • Limit what you carry. When you go out, only take the necessary documents – usually one form of identification and one credit or debit card. Leave other documents, including your social security card, in a safe place at home. • Shop safely. Before shopping online, make sure the website uses secure technology. When you are at the checkout screen, make sure the web address be-
gins with “https.” Also, check to see if a tiny locked padlock symbol appears on the page. • Don’t respond to email, text, and phone messages that ask for personal information. Legitimate companies don’t ask for information this way. Delete the messages. • Use anti-virus and anti-spyware software, and a firewall on your computer. Also set your computer’s operating system, web browser, and security system to update automatically. • Create passwords that mix letters, numbers, and special characters. Don’t use the same password for more than one account. • Before you dispose of a computer, get
rid of all the personal information it stores. Additionally, never store personal information on a public computer and always log out of anything that requires a password. • Encrypt your data. Keep your browser secure. To guard your online transactions, use encryption software that scrambles information you send over the internet. A “lock” icon on the status bar of your internet browser means your information will be safe when it’s transmitted. Look for the lock before you send personal or financial information online. • Read your credit reports. You have a right to a free credit report every 12 months from
each of the three nationwide credit reporting companies. Order all three at once, or order one report every four months. To order, go to annualcreditreport.com or call (877) 322-8228. For more information on privacy and identity protection, visit www.ftc.gov and look for the ‘Tips & Advice’ tab. Or if you’re interested in
the kind of identity-theft protection that includes theft-resolution and filemonitoring services, Arvest offers Family IDProtect™ with some of its checking accounts. To learn more about Arvest Bank and its Family IDProtect™ product, visit www.arvest.com and select Family IDProtect™ under the ‘Personal’ tab.

Food For Thought by Bill Head
Optimist Club of Lockwood
Immanuel Lutheran November Student of the Month
There is a very interesting article in Mother Earth News, issue of December, 2014/January, 2015 by Christopher Leonard, former National Agribusiness Reporter for the A.P. The article, “The Death of Small Towns,” describes the “high cost of factory farmed meat” and is a very appropriate article considering the recent amendment to the Constitution of Missouri under the guise of Right
to Farm. The takeover of American foods by Tyson, Hormel, Swift, Cargill, Smithfield Foods etc. is very interesting. All one has to do is take a good look at towns as Waldron, such Arkansas, to see the results. This article should, at the very least, make those that voted on the Constitutional Amendment wonder if they did what was right for their county
and country! Time will tell! While Waldron goes down the tube, Tyson banks $778 million in pure profit in 2013 alone! Think about it! Beef is next! Was I right to vote the way I did? Who put up the money in support of the amendment? Didn’t we already have the right to farm? What was in the fine print? What will change?

Gone but not forgotten. Due to us being in Tulsa, Oklahoma, at the Cancer Center last week, I didn't get my news in, Sorry! Brandy McDowell was happy to be here over Thanksgiving week with her family. They done lots of visiting, wedding planning & ball games. The count down for her March wedding is beginning. Hopefully all the remodeling they are doing to the Pennsboro Church will be done by then. Was very sorry to hear of the passing of Sonna Jones, 59, a 1973 GHS graduate. She had only found out about her
terminal brain tumor a month prior and was starting chemo but it was a very aggressive type. She leaves behind 2 devoted sisters, Janna Adams & Tonia East, along with her best friend & soul mate, Jackie Mountcastle. Also sorry to hear Leslie "Keltner" Davis, 42, lost her long battle with cancer on November 27. She was a 1990 GHS graduate and leaves behind 3 children & husband along with her parents, Lowell & Bootsie Keltner of Greenfield and 2 brothers, Jim & Kevin and 2 sisters, Suzan & Anita. Longtime friend, Hilda Montgomery, 85 passed away in her home on November 29th. I had known Hilda ever since her sister, Maxine, married my Uncle Charles Hargis. She was a sweetie & I loved all her children who I met thru
my best friend, Beth "Montgomery". She will be dearly missed. Also, longtime Ash Grove resident, Ruby Davis, 83, passed away. I want to extend sympathy out to all these families on their loss. On a brighter note, congratulations to two newly engaged couples. Chase Hargis & his sweetheart, Lexi Skaggs from Leavenworth, Kansas, met while attending college in Pittsburg, Kansas. Chase is the son of Blain & Gena Hargis of Greenfield. Also, Becky Lafferty of Walnut Grove & Shawn Petras got engaged in Las Vegas over the holidays. Becky "Dowler" was a 1986 graduate with my sister, Tassy. We want to wish both these couples the best. Thanksgiving Eve, Rick & I went to his parents for supper. His sis-
ter, Robbie & husband Denny, were here from Texas. We had an overflowing table of food. Then on Thanksgiving, we went to my Mom's where we had our usual homemade noodles & coconut pie as requested by my son, Colt, with everything else. We had our usual crowd along with Billy & Bob Myers. Uncle Winton came out that evening and we sent him home with dessert. Friday night, we met up again with Rick's folks and Robbie & Denny Hollis in Springfield and enjoyed Chinese before they headed back to Texas. Saturday night, I went over to Tina Wilkinson's and she helped me all night with getting some pictures downloaded. Leon gave up on us and went to bed. What a beautiful day Saturday was. So we
worked cattle with the help of Logan Baker & Harvey Campbell. Then on Sunday morning, headed to Tulsa for Rick's two days of testing. We are happy to report his doctor is very happy with him. He gained 6 lbs this month and his cancer is staying the same. Maybe thru these holidays and all the goodies, he will gain some more weight. Susan & Perry Hawks was happy to have all of their kids with them, except Dustin, for Thanksgiving. Also, sister, Debbie Fearnow & husband and good friend, Bill Booth, joined them. Seventeen total around their table. I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!!

I took off work on Wednesday to get ready for all my company and get everything planned. Kim helped me get tables and chairs all set up. It took most of the day. On Thursday morning, I had several for breakfast, cleaned up the mess and started on Thanksgiving meal. We decided not to eat until later in the afternoon so all the guys could do some work. Then after the meal we could be lazy. Those enjoying the evening meal were Jacob and Abby Jones, Kelbey and Asa Bowles, Carol Jones. Dustin and family went to his mother-inlaw’s for Thanksgiving this year. Betty Vandegrift, Lucille Franklin, Mary Lee Marsh enjoyed the noon meal on Thanksgiving with Betty’s daughter and family, Linda and Don Coble, Greg Coble, Katina, Matt, Brooke and Blaine Willard. They stay thru the evening, but mom reported they were still too full to eat the evening meal. That turkey really sat heavy. Thanksgiving On Day, the five children and many grandchildren of Ruby Davis had a big day. They got Ruby out of the nursing home and Sandy reported they had a great day. Her mother was feeling so good. They visited, ate, told stories on each other. Who would have known that within 36 hours she
would be gone? But what a wonderful day full of memories they had. Bill Jones enjoyed spending Thanksgiving day with his brother, Jerry and all their families. I had several for breakfast on Friday and then all my children, Carol grandchildren, Jones all came for supper that evening. Matt and Damaris Jones made it in around 3:30. They had been in Kansas City visiting her family since Tuesday. So let the party begin. All we have done is eat and eat some more. We all enjoyed visiting and catching up on each other’s family. On Friday night, Betty Vandegrift enjoyed having her 2 sons, Doug and Betty Vandegrift, Darren Vandegrift, Blake and Shelby for supper. She reported the guys have so much fun talking. They missed Sandy as she was at the hospital with her mother, Ruby Davis. After Darren and family left mom’s, they headed to the hospital to sit rest of the night. Ruby passed away on Saturday morning. Before she did, she sat up and told them all that she loved them and then she was gone. Ruby always was laughing, had a big smile on her face. Every day was a party and she lived life to the fullest. She loved everyone. May God comfort this family
in their time of sorrow. On Saturday morning, I had a bunch more in for breakfast. So many stories and tales have been told at my dining room table. Some you can believe, others you have to wonder. On Saturday night, Carol Jones took Matt and Damaris out for supper at Cooky’s. On Saturday night, I had all my family down for Thanksgiving. It was a house full, but we missed several also. Hard to get all these folks together at one time. Those enjoying the meal were hosts, Kim and Lesia Jones, Kelbey and Asa Bowles, Jacob and Abby Jones, Dustin Jones (Wade and Chloe sick, Melinda kept them at Darren and home), Sandy Vandegrift, Shelbey and Blake, Tim and Lynetta Leeper, Shay Kiper, Pearce and Knox (husband, Zach had to work), Courtnee Leeper and boyfriend, Michael, (Jason and Tylia Leeper on a cruise they were missed), Doug and Betty Vandegrift, Jared, Amber, Addy and Jaxon Vandegrift, (Kirk, Jennifer, Taylor, Caden were missed, she had to work), Linda, Don and Greg Coble, Katina, Brooke Blaine was (Matt Willard missed.) It was a very wild bunch, but we survived. Jared, Amber Addy and Jaxon spent the night with us. We got lots of baby time with
Jaxon. He is so precious and loveable. On Sunday morning, breakfast was a house full again. But what a great time we had. Food every where and nobody went hungry. the up Cleaned kitchen and was sweeping the floor when a truck pulled up. Guess who!!! Cousin, Denny Jones and sister, Donna and Dick Wright were walking to my house. They live in Kansas City. They drove down for the day to get Denny’s deer meat and visit after they found out Matt was here. We enjoyed the noon meal and many stories before they headed for home around 3:30. Run the dishwasher and what’s for supper? You would think that we could not possibly be hungry, but we ate like it was our last meal. Matt had brought in crab legs so we fell under that table and ate like it was a race. Then we all rolled to the living room to stretch out and feel miserable. morning Monday rolled around and it was time for breakfast. Matt wondered if we really needed to eat, but we did. Kim and Matt did some running around. Damaris and I hung around the house and did some cooking. Monday night was Ruby for visitation Davis. I got all the supper cooked and ready.
Kim and I ran to Ash Grove for the visitation and back home by 6:30 to sit down for supper with all our wonderful family. Melinda, Dustin, William, Wade and Chloe Jones, Jacob Jones (Abby sick), Kelbey and Asa Bowles, Carol Jones, Matt and Damaris and of course the head bottle washers, Kim and Lesia Jones. Come Tuesday morning, it was time to head back to work and get back into the normal zone again. On the road by 5:30 am and the girls had my desk looking pretty good. It was just like I had never been gone. A good feeling. Tuesday night leftovers from Monday night, Wednesday night leftovers from Friday night out of the freezer (turkey pot pie) and Thursday night leftovers out of the freezer. All leftovers are gone and now what to cook for Friday night? Kim is not too keen on leftovers, but he knew I spent several hours in the kitchen so he was a sweet heart and ate them all with a smile. Matt and Damaris got up and headed back to Texas around 8 a.m. They made it home safe and sound around 9:30 that evening. Matt also took off on Wednesday to rest and returned back to work on Thursday. On Tuesday afternoon, I left work early to attend the funeral for
Ruby Davis. She had a very nice service. It was really cold at the grave site. Ready to get to my warm car. On the way home, I stopped and visited with Betty Jones. She was walking for her exercise. Sympathy to the families of Sonna Jones, daughter of the late Laverne Jones. I understand she was around 59 years old. Keep this family in and thoughts your prayers. Kelbey had all her friends over and they were hoping that Danny Giddings would get to come, but he didn’t. His church had a special dinner for him. I am sure they will be getting together again real soon so they can see Danny. Kim went hunting with his friend, Matt Higgins, on Wednesday night. He had not been for several evenings and he really enjoyed himself. On Thursday morning, Kelbey had car trouble and she said it is really nice to work close to home. Asa came to save her and get her to work. Jacob was off and went with him to help get her car back. Then, Jacob went and had breakfast with Kim.

Wishing you all many more!! In Memory: Junior Feezell 12-11-1992, Dorothy Brown 12-162007 & Tom Toler 12-182010. Gone but not forgotten. Congratulations to Dr. Chris Shorter & wife Robin on the arrival of a baby girl, Emerson (Emmy) Suzanne Shorter. She tipped the scales at 7 lb, 11 oz and 20
inches long on November 29 at 10:05 am. This is the 11th grandchild for Brian & Deloris Snider and they can't wait to get here from North Carolina to see her. What a tragedy for the family that lived in Neil Marshall's new home south of Pennsboro where fire destroyed it last Tuesday night. It was such a beautiful home & you lose so much from a fire. That's two beautiful homes in Pennsboro that went up in smoke. The Allison place & now this one. Last Wednesday, I had to go into my mole doctor in Springfield and have several moles removed. The one under my chin had to have 3 stitches put in and I will be going back this week to have them removed and get my test results back on the others. Hoping for all good news. I tried to talk him into giving me a chin lift while he was there but he just laughed. Was sorry to hear of
the death of Ronald "Tuffy" Harper, 68, of Ash Grove. Rick went to his visitation on Tuesday evening where there was a large crowd. If you ever went to any of Gary Hall's auctions, you would have seen Tuffy. He was one of the helpers and always a smiling. He also was retired from Wilkerson Motors Service Dept. after 36 years. He will be dearly missed. If you seen the KY-3 news last Friday night, you would have seen a brave little boy who under went brain surgery. Remington Boyd of Greenfield was interviewed along with his dad, Lance. Remington had surgery on Thursday and is doing remarkably well. We wish him a speedy recovery as all his friends & teachers at Greenfield are missing him. I want to congratulate the Greenfield Varsity Boys Basketball Team on taking 1st place at the Marionville Tournament. They beat out Mari-
onville in a close game 51-49. Also, congratulations to the Greenfield Girls Basketball Team on 2nd place at the Everton Tournament. The Miller Cardinals took 1st. Several of the Grider Family enjoyed the day Saturday at Silver Dollar City. Those braving the cold were: Carl & Darlene, son-Roger & Pam with their kids: Tessa, Tanya, Landon & Fable and their families and Greg & Pam Grider. Was sorry to hear Charles Hembree passed away Saturday night, one day shy of his 73rd birthday on Sunday. It’s been 6 years since his wife, Sharon, passed away in November. I want to extend sympathy to his three children: Cheryl, Karla & Denise. It seems like deaths always come in 3's and they did this weekend. I got word on Sunday that Louise Toler and Lyle D Hawks both passed away Sunday afternoon. I would like to send
sympathy to both these families also. Louise will be dearly missed by her family who had just got together over Thanksgiving. She leaves behind her devoted daughter, Charlene, who had moved in to care for her mother and sons, David Toler of Dadeville & Lee of Joplin. Her other son, Tommy, had preceded her in death in December of 2010. Louise will be dearly remembered by my age group for being Mrs. Reeves’ assistant in the Greenfield School Kindergarten class. She helped a lot of little people get started in school. Lyle D. had been in the Dade County Nursing Home and leaves behind his wife, Janice & 2 sons: Terry & Perry Hawks. and 3 daughters: Sherry Wilson, Penny Graf & Beth Long with many grandchildren, family & friends. Saturday, I attended the grand kids’, Mayce & Jayce Baker, ballgames in Willard. Rick didn't make it due to suffering with a
bad cold or sinus troubles. Logan ended up getting a shot & medicine after being sick for about 3 days. I don't know what it is but I wish somebody else would take it away from my family. Dad has been suffering with a stiff neck for about a week and was ready to go to the hospital on Sunday if I would take him. But I didn't figure they would do anything for it so we tried electric shock & other medicines. He seemed to be doing better by Sunday night. Hopefully this week will go smoother for him. He really misses Dr. Whaley and his ultra sound machine. I guess this week I will start making my Christmas candies and passing them out. I know the holiday will be here before I'm ready so I better get busy. Have a great week!!
We have returned from M.D.Anderson and still nothing written in ink about Ron. Ron made the comment that this hospital complex was so big that half of Houston must be employed there. He was tested inside and out but results are not back. They hand you a map when you get there and you go from room to room. ALL over the place. I think he had 9 vials of blood taken (said that he felt like he had found where the
vampires dine. The cafeteria was interesting with the Chicken and Joe’s smoke house along with other dining places in one place. St Jude’s and Texas Medical sit side by side with MD Anderson. We drove down as Ron wanted to see the country. That is normal I guess with ole truckers. Had a fun trip down memory lane. Oh yes, if Jerry Probert is reading this, Ron says to call because
he could give his wife a better route through Dallas. The good news is they listened to him about the Pic line being infected and took it out. Two hours later his fever broke and he felt like a new guy. Thank you, Evelyn Gasper, for the rest of my gift. It is so neat. Went to Clea and Louis Kleeman’s Saturday for her annual Christmas party for the neighborhood. I always enjoy it so and see the
neighbors and family I don’t see very often. I guess while I was gone we had a shooting of an airplane. Does that come close to drones? So glad no one was hurt. Thank you so much, Cesare Kleeman, for taking care of the place while we were gone. Russ drove by and checked along with Jay Steele. Everyone has been so helpful. A big thank you to Betty LaFon and her goodies and nice visit the other day, too.
Ron’s eye surgery went great and he couldn’t believe he had gotten so blind until the doctor worked on it. Kenneth Banta says that his son is doing okay so far with his treatments in KC. Say some prayers for Khal Kleeman and his up coming surgery. It will knock him out of some of his sports but he is more worried about missing school. To all those out there in reader land, I hope you remembered the fine
men and women who saved our country after what happened on December 7, in Hawaii. How lucky we are to have such a country and how hard we should fight to keep it safe so their lives were not in vain. We should stand strong and never trust anyone who doesn’t believe that we are just not in any trouble. For everyone God Bless you.

cuit Court of Greene County, Missouri in 2011. Great Southern Bank was represented by the firm of Lathrop & Gage. The case was filed alleging Great Southern repossessed cars, trucks and boats but failed to give the owners of the property the legally required notice of when and where their property would be sold. The case alleged that Great Southern failed to send the legally required notice for over four years, entitling hundreds of borrowers to statutory damages. Great Southern agreed to create a settlement fund of up to $1.5 million, of which Great Southern agreed to pay 30% on a claims made basis. Based on the claims made, class members were paid a total of $115,572.49 by Great Southern Bank. Great Southern paid attorney’s fees in the amount of $450,000.00. In addition to the common settlement fund, the October, 2014 settlement also provides class members residing in many states with what Plaintiffs estimate to be up to $3.9 million in the form of debt forgiveness and satisfactions of previously entered deficiency judgments. Great Southern’s payments to class members correspond with the penalties outlined in Missouri law for sending defective notices of sale to debtors. Great Southern also dismissed all pending suits filed against class members and agreed to show judgments entered against the class members as fully satisfied. According to Duncan and Heidemann, “The Missouri legislature provided clear guidance for banks and other financial institutions about the requirements for pre-sale notices. In this case, it was clear to us that Great Southern failed to respect the rights of its borrowers and follow the law. The settlement provides class members with compensation for Great Southern’s failure to follow the law.”
Greene County Court Approves Class Action Settlement Involving Great Southern Bank Greene County Circuit Judge Michael Cordonnier recently certified a multi-state class action and entered an order approving a settlement in a case involving Springfield’s Great Southern Bank (parent symbol GSBC).
