The Everton Senior class received an unexpected donation this week in their effort to raise money for project graduation. The class had set a goal of raising $1000 per student. The money is used to provide a safe and fun event for the seniors and to

give away prizes and celebrate their accomplishment of graduation. State Senator Ron Richards of Joplin donated $1,000 to the class of 10 seniors. The check was presented to the senior class by Lorri Wycuff, vice chair of Dade County Republican Central Committee and State Committee woman from the 32nd senatorial district.

Kristen Limpus is the senior class sponsor for any one that would like to donate any amount of money the seniors would be more than happy to accept. Our community should be proud of these young people for setting a goal and working hard towards that result. That is a valuable lesson that will take them far in life.

Dade County is in Senator Richards’ district and he works hard to represent the county and help further the success of the county and schools. Senator Richards is currently the Senate Floor Leader for the 2015-2016 session. He also holds the distinction of being the only member to be elected Speaker of the House and Senate Majority leader in

100 years. “Having worked with Senator Richards and his wife Patty, I can honestly say they are good, kind people and work hard to make Missouri and specifically our area a better place to live,” states Wycuff. “We thank Senator Richards for his hard work and dedication. “

A Christmas Message

“To please my wife.” While others know, this day is about life. Thee birth of a

Savior? Come on get real. Everyone knows that I don’t steal. I never smoke dope and I don’t stay out late. I even go to church and put money in the plate. You say I need Jesus. Well, that can’t be true. I’ll make it on my own ‘cause I’m better than you. A baby in a manger 2,000 years ago, that great. But don’t tell me that He somehow affects my fate. Our society is changing. There’s no need for religion. The people are so cold, I’d rather befriend a pigeon. I can’t see God and

science can’t prove he exists. I have many reasons to doubt, would you like a list? I have my own list, thank you. Covered up with evidence that Jesus came for me and you. I know the answers to: Why did He come and why did He die? And if he truly was the Son of God, why did He cry? The answers are forever settled in heaven, He came to give eternal live to all men, even ME. I tried to make it on my own, when I realized I’m not worthy to stand before God’s throne. None of us are

and never will be, unless we first understand what Jesus did when He died on the tree. His blood was shed for all my sins. Now, when life’s over, God will say, “You win.” It’s not enough to say Jesus died. He rose from the grave and is forever alive. He came down from heaven to set men free. He invited us to love Him, personally. Religion doesn’t cut or leave you alone. Jesus wants to make your heart His permanent home. So this is your invitation in the form of

a card. Will you accept Jesus, or is your heart too hard? I pray that you will and won’t say “I’ll wait.” Many have done that, and thus sealed their fate. If you do, the same baby who was born in a manger will look at you one day and call you a stranger. This year don’t worry about fancy clothes and presents under the tree. Jesus gave the best gift and guess what? It’s free. This year for Christmas start a new trend. Tell someone about Jesus. His kingdom has no end. Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas.

Betty Nelson, with the Dade County Genealogical Society, spoke to the Dade County Retired Teachers and School Personnel Association at its December 10 meeting.

The genealogy department, housed in the Warren Room at the Dade County Library, will gladly accept those materials. Anyone who has documents and is willing to share, can take them to the library, have them scanned and retain possession of the items. The genealogy department and the library have membership to on-

line ancestry groups. The public may access those sites at no charge. Genealogy members are available to help patrons with research. The treasurer reported 17 paid memberships for 2015.

Grace The Earth Recognized as Steward of Natural Resources Submitted by Angela Roberts Grace The Earth, board member

Grace The Earth, a local non-profit organization, was recently recognized by the Missouri Department of Conservation. In a letter from Community Conservation Planner Ronda Headland, the organization was commended for “being a steward of natural resources in a way that benefits both nature and people.” Ms. Headland pointed to the South Park project in Lockwood as an example of a space that provides urban residents with opportunities to observe and learn about native plants. She thanked the organization and ex-

pressed gratitude for the partnership opportunity. Grace The Earth undertook a multi-year project to improve Lockwood’s South Park in conjunction with the Lockwood Public Schools, the Community Foundation and other key sponsors. The Missouri Department of Conservation provided guidance on funding, expertise on native plants and outdoor learning environments, and encouragement during the project. Recent improvements to South Park included tree trimming, the removal of dead trees, and the planting of a variety of new trees that are native to Missouri. Outdoor learning areas were

established at the park, including a reading area and the addition of several garden areas which will be developed further in coming years. Park benches for use by adults and children and permanent signs designating native species of plants and trees were added in 2014. Grace The Earth is dedicated to improving the environment by promoting environmentally friendly practices and by increasing awareness through public education. Founded in 2009 in memory of Grace Backs, the organization selects projects and community outreach events to teach people of all ages the importance of nature, the

environment, planting of trees, organic methods, and other essential topics that benefit the community. The organization’s annual community event, Grace The Earth Day, is scheduled to take place on Saturday, May 2, 2015. The group is also currently working on a project with the Lockwood Cemetery Board to replace several trees at the cemetery. For information about Grace The Earth, or to honor or memorialize a friend or loved one with a tree donation, please contact Cathy Backs at cathior jbacks@gmail.com 417-229-1239.

ing, locating information, and math skills. Scoring levels for a certificate begin at the bronze level and go up to silver, gold and platinum which is the highest. We had the following results: Bronze 1, silver 8,

gold 6, and platinum 0. We did have a few students get close to platinum. platinum is very difficult to achieve. We thank the seniors so much for taking time out for this assessment. Not only did it help

them earn certificates that may help employers to know how student’s skills may fit job openings, but also these scores can be used for our Annual Performance Report in the area of College and Career Readiness.

Letter to Editor:

Please Return Angel

I have always felt others thought the way I do concerning objects placed on a grave. The items were there to honor the person and to show respect and love for that person. I know not everyone feels that way, but it really bothers me when someone takes it upon themselves to remove objects that they did not place there. I went out to Pleasant Grove Cemetery a few days ago and discovered

that someone had removed an angel sitting on a pillar that my mother had placed between the foot stones was gone. That angel and pillar had been sitting there for seven-eight years. Mother has been gone for three years. It would be very appreciated if the person that removed it would replace it to its rightful place and may God bless you. Lynne Bartlett

Happenings At Main Street

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

by Blanche Trudell This has been a busy time of the year for most of us. I missed the news for Thanksgiving week and thought they would publish it the next week but I didn’t tell them to do so when I sent it in a little late. Well, I will never learn, but all I had to report was that our family ended up getting 8 deer, 6 on the Trudell farm and 2 on Jerry Little’s place. All the Burrows family stayed out in the tent during the snow. They had a big tent with a stove so it wasn’t too bad, they said, but I wouldn’t have wanted to stay out there when it was that cold. I have gotten all my Christmas presents done and most of them delivered to my family. Jim Wiss, our son, took some to his house and I met my granddaughter at Harrisonville with some. Luke took his to his family and I will be with the rest of the family sometime during the Christmas season. Joe and I went to Grandview to visit with my 94-year-old brotherin-law, Thurston Stafford. He is still living alone, but is having some problems getting around. He is pretty sharp in his thinking. I am still teaching a bible study class on each Wednesday evening, but we won’t have it on Dec.

24th or Dec .31st. Joe has been having a problem with the runny nose problem, but is on med for that. I hope I don’t catch it from him. Joe and I spent the Thanksgiving Day at home, but we had an early Thanksgiving dinner with our daughter, Carol Odell, and family. I didn’t have to cook. It was good to see Jessica, Dwayne and Shannon. Dwayne is really growing. Jessica is enjoying her job in Republic and is now living there. I have given up on the Optimist club, as I have too much to do at home, church, and I just don’t feel up to doing as much as I used to, as I am having problems with breathin. Hopefully I will find out what is causing it and get better soon. Joe and I are having part of our family here for Christmas this year. I have enjoyed all the Christmas cards and wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Let us remember to pray for all those who are serving our country, those in the nursing homes, those in the storms and all the people who have been sick or lost loved ones. GOD BLESS AMERICA! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2015.

Main Street Baptist met at 9:30 for Sunday School. At 10:45 we adjourned to the sanctuary for worship service. We opened our worship services by singing, “Joy to the World.” Rodney’s Pastor message was on the Ten Commandments. Deuteronomy 5:6-21. The law and legacy of the Commandments: 1. God spoke the Words to Moses. Exodus 19:25. God provided 2. a written form to Moses. Exodus 24:12. 3. A second set is provided to Moses in Exodus 34:1. For 800 years, the Commandments are kept in the Ark of the Covenant. The last mentioned location is 2 Chronicles 24 as King Josiah of Judah orders the return of the Ark to the temple. Rev.11: 19. Then God’s temple in heaven was opened, and the Ark of his Covenant was seen within his temple. And “No, The Commandments are not stored in waregovernment house.” The two divisions of

Commandments: 1. First 4: Man’s relationship to God. 6: 2. Second Man’s relationship to Man. 3. Jesus noted that all of the Commandments are summarized in the Great Commandment: Matthew 22:38-40 The Law of the Commandments today: Galations 3:19: Why the law was given. Romans 7:7: The law makes us aware of sin. Romans 2:30: The law cannot save. Hebrews 11:6: Without Faith it is impossible to please God. A large crowd remained after services and enjoyed our Holiday dinner. our Remember weekly activities. The choir will be bringing their cantata “The First Noel” Sunday, December 21, at 10:45 a.m. Find out who you are, and do it on purpose.

Keep Smiling by Sara Johnston What a difference a day can bring. We mingle with a lot of people throughout the day. The words we say can influence many lives. You could just smile to someone and that could brighten his or her day. We all need encouragement. You just can’t imagine what an individual (all ages) may go through.

They may smile and all that but at the same time they may be hurting inside. They may just camouflage their feelings. So, spreading a little kindness each day brings much comfort. Then don’t be surprised if someone reaches out to you because they may just decide to open up to you.

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

By Linda Perkin Publications/Training Pennington Seed, Inc.

Don McGee, Seed Lab manager at Pennington Seed in Greenfield, was the recent recipient of the Spirit company’s Award. This award recognizes an individual for “outstanding work ethic, leadership and service to ‘The Seed Group’” and was presented at the Seed Group’s annual meeting in Kansas City. The nominees for the award are chosen and submitted by the general managers of the four individual facilities that make Seed Pennington

grass seed products: seed production in Oregon, Seeds West in Arizona, seed production (SPI) in Madison, Georgia, and the Missouri manufacturing division in Greenfield. Steve Barton, VP Grass Seed Operations, and Ronnie Stapp, Executive VP of Grass Seed, make the final decision on which candidate will be presented the Spirit Award. Keith Hankins, Sr. VP/GM of the Missouri manufacturing division of Pennington Seed, wrote in his nomination: “Don quietly manages one of the largest seed

labs in the country. With a staff of 12 seed analysts, they check over 11,000 samples a year providing the base for the quality control of our seed products.” He went on to describe the very technical and complicated process of data collection and record keeping following the seed testing rules of the Association of Official Seed Analysts (AOSA) and Don’s “lead by example” style, adding: “This year in particular he [Don] has taken on the additional work of setting up new procedures and training to handle testing

Mike Dill’s Big Fish Earns Win Submited by Becky Minor

With cool 40’s air temperatures and upper 40’s water temperatures, the bass proved to be plentiful for most of the 22 anglers who fished the ABA qualifying tournament on Stockton Lake December 6, 2014. Mike Dill of Greenfield, MO won with four fish weighing 12.96 lbs, anchored by Big Fish of the day, a 5.65 lb largemouth. Dill earned $770 for the days efforts. Second place went to Matt Theil of Jasper with a 5-fish limit that weighed 12.07 lbs; 3rd place was Springfield angler, Jay Carter with 5 fish going 11.86 lbs. Kansas angler, Eric Craft took 4th place with another 5-fish limit that weighed 11.66 lbs. The winners reported catching most of their fish in the mid-lake area using a jerk-bait or jig. The 5fish limit seemed to be easy to catch. One angler said, “I had a limit by 8:30 but could not find that

one big fish.” Ten of the anglers brought in a 5-fish limit and most had at least one fish. The next tournament for this circuit will be March 21, 2015, on Stockton Lake using Old State Park as launch site. These tournaments qualify anglers for the 2015 StockLake 2-day ton Championship in June of 2015 and the National Championship, which will be held in October, 2015 on Hartwell Lake, SC. A complete schedule for this Division as well as other ABA Divisions in the area can be found at www.centralmidwestbass.com. You can also view full results with pictures for this and other tournaments. For more information, call Becky at 316 644-1454. You can also connect with D126 through Face Book. ABA is designed for the week-end angler and is open to boaters and non-boaters. It is a draw

of our new powder coating process.” The nomination closed with a nod to Don’s record service of “25 years with full dedication to our needs.” The award was a “total shock and surprise” to Don McGee who said he wasn’t thinking about the award, but just trying to do his job. The Spirit Award isn’t presented yearly, but only when a nominee proves to be “an appropriate fit” for the award. Congratulations, Don, on this highly regarded accomplishment within the Pennington Seed group.

Mike Dill is pictured with two of his fish.

format with partner pairing taking place the morning of each tournament. ABA membership fee is $25/year; entry fee is $70/angler. Anglers

from age 14 can enter the tournaments. They fish for cash and prizes as well as points that qualify them to fish a National Championship.

Parcell Named Pennington Seed’s Employee Of Month By Linda Perkin Publications/Training Pennington Seed, Inc

Paula Parcell is the Employee of the Month for November at Pennington Seed, Inc. and she was nominated by John Adams, RDC Coordinator for Distribution, who wrote in his nomination: “Paula is a very hard working, knowledgeable employee that we are lucky to have. She has a great attitude and with that encourages those Like so around her. many, Paula is asked to wear multiple hats and does a great job at whatever the task at hand may be at any given time. From picking, packing, and stocking pots to loading trucks and working with drivers, Paula excels.” Paula came to Pennington Seed at the suggestion of a friend and talked to Brendan Nichols, the RIS On-site Manager for Randstad Staffing. She was called back for an interview and

perience, she will be able to assist in that department during rush periods and fill-in when needed. She said the training in a new area was a good change and she enjoyed it. She said she appreciated her relationship with Randstad and commended them for “always working for the advancement of the employee.” Samantha Dempsey, presently the RIS Site Coordinator for Pennington Seed, congratulated Paula on her recent recognition and said Paula embodied the characteristics of a model Randstad talent. Paula was hired on full-time with Pennington Seed on November 3, 2014. “I’ve learned a lot from all my co-workers on how to perform particular jobs and gotten a lot of good advice.” She thanked Ed Bartholomew for believing that she could do the job: “Ed pushed me to learn and gave me confidence that I could do the

job. Everyone has been encouraging and supportive.” Ed said Paula is a dependable employee who shows up every day and has proved to be capable of many different tasks. “She is the main picker for pottery and she’s good at it.” Presently living in Lockwood where she was born and raised, Paula has a daughter, Bailey, who is a freshman at Lockwood High School. For hobbies, Paula has always enjoyed her family’s outings to Bennett Springs where they would fish for trout and then gather for a fish fry. This past season she has started lake fishing at Stockton Lake and although the pace is slower, she enjoys the experience. Congratulations to Paula Parcell for this well-deserved honor.

after completing the intake requirements was placed in the pottery division of Distribution in January, 2014 and has been there ever since. “It’s a good work environment,” said Paula. “I

have good bosses and coworkers and we all work together.” Paula was recently trained by John Adams to work in the new HomeDepot.com area of Building 11. With her ex-

party at the 319 Event Center. We had a good time with all my coworkers. On Tuesday night, I went to get my hair cut at Hairworks. Got to visit with Tracy Laster and Anita Allison was also there. We cut my hair short and I told Tracy that Kim may not let me in the door so she told me she had an extra bedroom. He didn’t say much, but the look told it all. At least I didn’t go as short as his. On Wednesday, the front office girls at work provided a luncheon for our providers. We do this every year as what do you buy a doctor and they all love to eat and lots of Christmas candy. They requested we do this every Wednesday. Chuck Myers was unable to help Kim a few

days last week as he was having some problems with his foot. Kim had a good day on Friday as they were working on a big house in Strafford. He was working with Chuck Myers, Eric Steeley and Rex Jones. With this crowd, it is a miracle they got any work done. Kim was one tired puppy. Kim went back for his final check up with his eye surgeon and she said he was doing great and that he would have more swelling of the eyelids for up to 9 months. Goes to tell you how precious our eyes are. With his eye lift, I tell him he looks 10 years younger. Our deepest sympathy to the families of Charles Hembree, Louise Toler and Lyle Hawks. May God comfort each of these families at this

tragic time. On Sunday morning, our breakfast guests were Jacob and Abby, Kelbey Bowles. After breakfast, Abby, Kelbey and myself headed to Springfield to do some Christmas shopping. We got a lot done and was home by 6. Abby got to see what shopping with the Jones girls are like. I think she is still in shock. She kept her distance from us. She knows we are little crazy, but now she really knows. We had a great day. The traffic in Springfield is awful. This is why I hate doing Christmas shopping late. I just want to head home and avoid all of that. On Thursday, Betty Vandegrift and Lucille Franklin were in Springfield doing some shop-

ping and Mom had a doctor appointment. I met them over there and got to visit with them. I am bad as I forgot to add them to my big Thanksgiving dinner at my house. Sorry. I had a lot of names to put down. On Friday night, Wade Jones spent the night with his grandma, Gerri and Chloe and William came home with Kim and I. We stopped at That Place for supper. On Friday night, Joel and Amanda Gray had a big cook up and had several couples over to enjoy. I was glad Dustin and Melinda went. Kelbey and Asa were also there. It was a good evening. Thanks to Amanda and Joel for their beautiful family Christmas picture they sent me. Also, Stacy and Sarah

Holland sent me a Christmas picture. I love pictures and I cherish them. Needless to say, you can understand why I am behind in all my stuff. My main focus has been on my family. Keep us all in your prayers and we do so appreciate all the phone calls, email, face book and the list goes on. Dustin and Melinda and children appreciate all the kind offers, visits, etc. They didn’t know they had so many wonderful friends and family. Christmas is upon us and our family wishes each and everyone a blessed Christmas and remember what Christmas is all about. God bless you all.

Antioch Pilgrim News by Lesia Jones

Well, my news will be short as all I have done is prayed all week for my son Dustin and his family. We have just found out that Dustin has cancer and is undergoing a lot of tests. We are still dealing with the shocking news, but God is great and he is on our side. We have so many prayer warriors out there saying prayers for our family. We have prayed for so many families with health issues. We just ask that you raise our special man up in all your prayers. On Saturday, we had our usual breakfast guest at our table.

Lockwood FFA Barnwarming

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

Submitted by Brian Gillen Lockwood R-1 Vocational Education Instructor

On Saturday evening, November 22, Lockwood FFA held their annual Barnwarming at the high school. The students started out the night with a scavenger hunt for various and odd outdoor items. They had to be found within one half of a mile of the school and the students had to take pictures of the items as proof. After the scavenger hunt everyone enjoyed grilled hamburgers for dinner. Everyone enjoyed our traditional games like

musical hay bales, egg toss and chubby bunny. The Barnwarming Queen candidates were: senior Heidi Hicks, junior

Ellen Schnelle, sophomore Tori Burton, and freshman Kallie Caldwell. Ms. Ellen Schnelle was crowned Barnwarm-

ing Queen for the 20142015 school year. There was a great turnout and everyone had a good time.

I don’t know how long it’s been since I’ve written West Side News, but it’s been awhile. November and December are busy months. Little by little I finally got some Christmas decorations up in my house today. I’m keeping things pretty simple this year. I don’t want to overwhelm myself! I had Thanksgiving dinner at my house this year. David and Teri will open their big house for our Christmas dinner. I am hopeful everyone will be able to come this year, and if they do we will need a big house. Two grandchildren are coming from out of state: Eric Garner from Ari-

zona; and Amanda Hernandz, Steven and baby, Adrian, whom we haven’t seen from California. Also Chad Gillaspy and Kelsey from Padova, Italy. Chad gets a few days break from playing basketball there. Some beautifully decorated homes are showing up all over Miller town. Check out residents on both ends of Main Street. They are breath taking. By the time you read this, my granddaughter, Holly Bloomer and Caleb Dorsey, will be a married couple, December 13th. Holly always said she wanted to have a Christmas wedding and its going to be

beautiful. Holly, her mother, Anita, and her sisters who are all my daughters along with others have spent many hours house decorating. The weekend of December 6th some of the women in my family decided to go shopping in Bentonville, Arkansas. We spent two nights at my niece’s house in Seneca, Missouri. Before we returned home, we hit a few stores in Joplin. Elveda Rose, Lawanna Beavers and Kay Meyers also went on a shopping spree December 9th in Joplin. Frances Reynolds and I visited at Ma’s Café in Miller, December 9th. Laura

is the new manager. She changed the name from Mingles to Ma’s. She also painted the walls a bright orange and has decorations in modern decor. I visited with Kay Perriman on Monday. She has been in failing health for quite a while. Her family takes care of her round the clock. I commend them for that. I might add many years ago, Kay Perriman was the cook at the Main Street Café. P worked for her and she was a good cook. Is everyone getting tired of hearing protestors? I believe it’s time they go home and do something useful.

The Barnwarming Queen candidates were: senior Heidi Hicks, junior Ellen Schnelle, sophomore Tori Burton, and freshman Kallie Caldwell.

Lockwood News by Retha Jones

Hello from Retha at Good Shepherd Nursing Home. Here’s hoping you are enjoying the holiday. Don’t forget or put aside that wonderful event that came to be. May your heart be filled with the love of our savior and pass that love on. Friday was graduation day for me. I graduated from my wheelchair to a walker. There are times I use my wheelchair. Friday night, carolers came from Lutheran Church. Besides singing, we did a lot of visiting. Saturday afternoon was the Christmas parade. A good parade! A number of bands and floats. I have one complaint: most antique cars exited the parade, not coming to Good Shepherd. Old people like to see old cars. A star to the Lockwood Band. Sunday, I went to my church. It was communion Sunday and as you entered you felt the love that was put in the decorating of the altar. Was beautiful. The Christmas tree could be a devotion. The manger display reminded us of that event long ago. Sunday was Paul’s birthday and the church sang Happy Birthday. Monday was a busy day. Therapy in the morning, then lunch and at 1:00 p.m. Avilla’s grade school, kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd graders came and performed for us a good program of Christmas songs. I believe someone said there were 40 kids. The students gave each of us a holiday folder they had made. That evening another group of older kids came through singing. I’m not sure where they were from. Saturday night, LaRue was taken back to the hospital. Laura Mabee was at church following knee surgery. One corner of our church could be called handi-

capped corner. Sunday there were 6 or more in that area. Here at the home you can be kept busy if you wanted. Programs, game time, crafts, bingo seem to be most important. In the dining room, there’s four at each table. At my table are the Bob Mosses, and Olivia. Wednesday mornings we have dominoes. Natalie has been moved upstairs, room 215. Ms. Gass was able to go home. She’s 93 and very alert mentally. “True Meaning of Christmas” Advent is a time to remind one another to cut through the holiday chaos and simplify Christmas. We need to check upon our lines of Peace, deck the halls with love, and dash to others with messages of Joy and Hope. From Pastor Travis’s messenger (church praper). My dinner tablemate will be moving tomorrow, (Friday), to the RCF here. I will miss her. I understand LaRue is about the same. I did not know until tonight that Lyle D. Hawks passed away. Our sympathies to his family. This morning as my helper and I were walking down the hall, we could smell something delicious! This afternoon, mid afternoon, the help gave us a big slice of raisin bread. Delicious! That would be a number of loaves. Wednesday was Myrtle Guinn’s (Harvey) birthday. The kitchen and dining room people all came to her table and sang Happy Birthday. So long to all. May your week be a good one.

The race started at the Meyer Center in downtown Springfield at 8 a.m. The course was fast and flat which put a smile on every runner’s face. After the race ended, there were some tasty snacks as well as cups of hot chocolate and cider for all to enjoy. Once we settled down and caught our breath, the awards were passed out.

MU Extension Helping Build Local Infrastructure to Support Local Food QUESTIONS? Contact Editor Marlene DeClue at 417-637-2712 or greenfieldvedettepublisher@mchsi.com

Submitted by David Burton Civic Communications Specialist

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. — The demand for locally grown food continues to increase and that is creating significant new market opportunities for farmers and ranchers. "There are an abundance of farmers markets and retailers carrying local products. That is a healthy indicator of consumer demand and the promise of market sustainability for producers," said Dr. Pam Duitsman, a nutrition and health specialist with University of Missouri Extension. However, Duitsman says much of the consumer-direct market remains relatively small. Producers are often less certain about how to supply larger institutional and retail markets which are also demanding more local food to fulfill customer demands. "Many diners expect restaurants to include a selection of dishes based on locally grown products. In fact, consumer preference for locally sourced foods has been a

top dominant menu trend impacting the restaurant industry for several years," said Duitsman. Restaurants, along with grocery stores and other institutions like hotels, hospitals, schools, and corporate cafeterias, have a great interest in sourcing their food products locally. "Most commercial establishments do not have the capacity or time to deal with a multitude of local farmers and suppliers. The logistics are too overwhelming," said Duitsman. According to Duitsman, these large commercial markets must require non-negotiable standards. These standards ensure things like: proof of Food Safety and Good Agricultural practices (GAP) training; liability insurance; source verification; appropriate aggregation; processing (trimming, cutting, freezing) and reliable distribution. These are business practices that ensure a safe and reliable source for their end users. Consequently, many estab-

lishments would prefer to conduct business with an inclusive food service wholesaler of sorts. Through recent Community Food System Assessment work, we recognized that producers face recurring logistical, marketing and challenges. business These challenges hinder them from taking greater advantage of the demand for locally grown food in larger volume markets. This gap between producers and large markets can be daunting for a community food system to overcome," said Duitsman. The solutions, according to Duitsman, need to be developed locally through dialogue, education, and engagement of key stakeholders. University of Missouri Extension conducted informal surveys in southwest Missouri to identify the top hindrances that larger markets listed as obstacles to their purchase of local healthy food. The top five were: lack of availability of partially processed local foods to control labor costs; con-

sistent delivery and distribution; grower certification and food handling knowledge; consistent and stackable packaging; and liability insurance requirements. "Respondents overwhelmingly said compliance with these needed standards is essential. Yet they struggle to find producers who can match these standards in a consistent manner with sufficient volume," said Duitsman. The challenges in southwest Missouri are not unique. Communities across the U.S. are seeing a greater demand for local and fresh food. Those communities are in need of innovative programs to help farmers successfully bring their products to larger markets and to supply demand on the institutional side. "One promising solution is the creation of food hubs. These can be a link to connect food from the farm or ranch to buyers such as retail, restaurant, and institutional customers; as well as individual consumers," said Duitsman.

buying and selling firewood, along with his answers to the questions. Q: Homeowners with wood stoves are stocking up on firewood for their winter heat supply. I understand there is a state law governing how firewood is bought and sold? A: Yes, by state law, firewood must be sold by the cord or fraction of a cord. It must also be accompanied by a bill of sale in accordance with requirements of the Missouri Department of Agriculture's Division of Weights and Measures. Rick, rank, face cord, truckload and pile are not legal units of measure for sale of firewood. Q: How much is a cord of wood? A: A cord of wood measures four feet high, four feet wide and eight feet long, totaling 128 cubic feet. Any combina-

tion of these measurements is fine as long as they total 128 cubic feet when the wood is stacked in a compact manner. Q: What's the easiest way to measure a stack of wood? A: A simple way is to measure the length, width and average height (all in inches) of the compactly-stacked pile of wood. Multiply these three figures together and divide the result by 220,000. The answer is the number of cords. Multiply this number by the dollar cost per cord to get the price the buyer should pay. Q: Any other tips on getting a fair deal when buying firewood? A: First, don't pay for the wood until it has been stacked and measured by both the buyer and seller. Second, get a receipt with the seller's

name, address, phone number and vehicle license number, along with the price, amount and kind of wood purchased. Third, if a problem with the seller cannot be resolved, contact the Missouri Department of Agriculture's Division of Weights and Measures at 573-7515639. Q: Where can I get more information on buying and selling cordwood? A: Contact the nearest University of Missouri Extension Center and ask for MU Guides G5450 and G5452, which give details about buying and selling cordwood, and about the burning characteristics and heat content of various woods. Schultheis can be contacted at the Webster County Extension Center in Marshfield by telephone at (417) 859-2044.

Know the Facts Before Buying, or Selling, Firewood Submitted by David Burton Civic Communications Specialist

MARSHFIELD, Mo. — Many people who buy cordwood for their home wood stoves admit they do not understand the transfer process. Some dealers talk in terms of a "rick," a "rank" or a "pickup load." Others mention a "face cord" and still others talk in terms of a cord or fractions of a cord. Sometimes the definitions vary from dealer to dealer and from locality to locality. "We would like to think that most dealers are honest, and the transaction is fair. However, this is no way to run a business," said Bob Schultheis, natural resource engineering specialist, University of Missouri Extension.

Food hubs can make economic sense as farmers, distributors, retailers, and food processors coordinate their actions for mutual economic benefit, which then benefits the consumer. The burden of marketing is reduced by connecting sustainable consumers with producers. This connection can help to stabilize prices and support sustainable income for farmers through purchasing arrangements. Additionally, producers are connected to all sorts of business-related and logistical services like aggregation, distribution, food packaging and processing, and expertise to comply with State and Federal food safety and handling regulations. "Successful local food networks or food hubs rely on relationships, knowledge, innovation and connections that are needed to grow and meet the needs of the community-based food system. By maintaining a relationship with multiple producers, a food hub can lengthen the season for fresh, locally grown

food products," said Duitsman. Research shows food hubs can expand the reach of small, local farmers and drive economic growth in the process. The USDA has significant evidence showing food hubs build a stronger infrastructure for small and mid-size producers, and help create strong community food systems. Work is underway in Greene and surrounding counties to establish the necessary networks. "The network sets the stage for a sustainable and highly functioning food network, and to assist in increasing the stability and sustainability of locally-sourced food production," said Duitsman.

Konarski Attends Prestigious Youth Season Hunter Takes Record Book Buck Department Of Justice Program Focused On Protecting Dade County Children Submitted by Lori Sneed Director Dade County 911

Cheryl Konarski, Dispatch Supervisor and Communications Training Officer, just returned from the prestigious Missing Children Seminar for Chief Executives (CEO) held just outside of the nation’s capital, at the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) located in Alexandria, VA. Mrs. Konarski was invited to attend the 2day seminar, held on December 9-10, 2015 as a guest of the NCMEC, joining 49 other law enforcement executives. This was the 157th session of the CEO course and she is now one of nearly 6,000 who have completed this training. In addition to this seminar, Mrs. Konarski has also completed additional online courses through NCMEC. The Missing Children Seminar for Chief Executives was designed to provide attendees like Mrs. Konarski a better understanding of the issue of missing and sexually exploited children,

how to specifically deal with the situation of a child who has been reported missing when time is critical, and how to access a multitude of resources available to assist in these cases. “This has been one of the most valuable experiences for me in my 30+ years in emergency communications,” said Mrs. Konarski. “To have been selected in itself, was an honor, but to be able to bring this knowledge home and put it into practice, is a plus for the citizens of Dade County, Missouri." Created in 1997 and funded by the United States Department of Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice Delinquency (OJJDP), the CEO training discusses the needed steps in implementing best practices for call takers, responding officers, investigators, and command staff. Once candidates are selected to attend, all travel and lodging expenses during training are covered by the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children through a grant by OJJDP.

The 2014 Youth Season Deer Hunt was no disappointment for 15 year old hunter, Hayden Aleshire of Brighton, Missouri. The 14 pointer's official BTR score was 155 0/8 inches with a com-

posite of 173 1/8 inches. He has a typical rack at 5.3%. Hayden is the son of Michael Aleshire of Brighton and the grandson of John and Pam Aleshire, formerly of Greenfield.
