The Maze is operated by the Hawks family and

grandchildren: Elizabeth, Jonathan, Blake, Easton, Ramsey, Clayton and the little ones: Kendrick, Nora and Nila Cooper.

Their songs were enjoyed by all and drew much applause.

Shortly afterwards, Babette Terhune, Senior Center Administrator, was pleasantly surprised when she was called to the front and was presented several awards for her 40 years of service with the Greenfield Senior Center.

Dan Wadlington, field representative for Senator Roy Blunt’s office, presented a letter of congratulations on 40 years of service from

Senator Blunt.

A resolution from Missouri House of Representatives was presented by Mike Kelley, representative of District 127 and signed by Timothy W. Jones, speaker. An American flag, which had flown over the Capitol, was also presented.

Babette was also presented flowers, courtesy of Angela Lacy at Wisteria House and a memory book from the Center

Board, compiled by Marvin and Brenda Craig.

Central office staff present were: retired CEO Dorothy Knowles (who hired Babette); current CEO Starr Kohler; director of field operations, Chris Thompson and her husband, O.J.; and Mr. Alvin Meyer, past president of SWMOA and current president of the Polk County Senior Tax Board.

Starr Kohler, CEO, Southwestt Missouri Office on Aging, the Area Agency on Aging that provides services through the Senior Center, had this to say about Babette.

“Babette Terhune is the heart of the Greenfield Senior Center. As a faithful employee of the Southwest Missouri Office on Aging for 40 years, Babette has had one mission: taking care of the seniors in her community.

“From day one, she’s been a winner at creating a senior center that offers a warm welcome you can count on; a caring spirit that ‘s true through and through; and hardworking, practical help when it’s needed the most.

“She really listens and cares; and everybody knows she means it.

“One sure way we know how good Babette is at her work is the huge loyalty around her; loyalty from those who work alongside, from those who enjoy the center and from the community she serves.

“In Babette’s case, you have to wait in line for your turn to praise her. Everybody wants to be on her team.

“She’s one of the best things that ever happened to SWMOA. “We’re proud to be on her team, too!”

Special thanks to everyone that helped to make this such a special event.

That was what I wanted to hear. I do have a small chip off the elbow.

Saturday evening, Paul, III and Patty joined us for chicken at Barto’s in Pittsburg. A stop was made at WalMart. Patty’s daughter, Bailey, was at WalMart also and followed us home for more visiting.

Sunday, we all at-

tended church. Later we grilled brats.

James Schilling was badly injured in a car accident last week.

I’m not sure what hospital he’s in. James is the son of Betty Schilling Smith. Add this family to your prayer list.

Latest report on Kevin Stump was not the best. I believe he is back in Houston, Texas. Keep Kevin and his parents, Eugene and Connie, in your prayers.

Carl Woods seems to be convalescing quite well following his knee replacement, as well as Lorrine Sands.

Hawks Corn Maze is a popular, fun event.

Fun for little kids, big kids and older folks.

My family has been out. I haven’t. In today’s Springfield paper, a really nice writing on their Corn Maze. It’s a family business.

Tuesday, David and Donna Kennedy of Springfield, came and spent the night. While here, David and Paul built me some shelves in the dining room.

Wednesday afternoon, the Kenneys took Paul and Nancy to Dixie Stampede in Branson.

They all enjoyed the evening.

Monday night, I attended Lockwood Lions meeting at the Whaley home. The club voted to donate a tree for the cemetery.

STRUGGLES OVER CHRISTIAN BELIEFS CONTINUE

By Henry McBride

The Springfield City Council continues to deliberate over adding special protections for homosexuals in their city ordinances, primarily regarding housing, I think.

The mayor and some on the council are insistent on writing protection in the ordinance for churches and Christian businesses.

Apparently they haven’t figured out that it doesn’t matter what they write into the ordinance. It only takes one misguided judge to wipe out those protections. If one judge can overrule a 71% majority of Missourians on the marriage issue, then one judge can certainly overrule the city ordinance.

Another reason it doesn’t matter what they write into the ordinance is that the activists will

not be satisfied nor will they cease pushing the city until they get exactly what they want. Passing an ordinance that doesn’t grant homosexual organizations what they want is a waste of time.

Perhaps they should read about the case of a T-shirt printer in Lexington, Kentucky, who refused to print a message that homosexual organizations wanted on their shirts for their big parade.

This particular businessman had employed homosexuals and had done business with homosexual organizations in the past with no protest and no problems.

That wasn’t good enough.

The message they wanted on the shirts was not given in the news report. It isn’t hard to visualize an example if you have seen the shirts worn

in previous parades and protests. No telling how vulgar it might have been. At least it was bad enough that the Christian businessman refused to print it.

Then comes in the Lexington Human Rights Commission to make all things right. For the homosexuals! What the businessman believes must be violated on their behalf. His beliefs, his conscience, his ethics do not count for anything; their demand must be served.

While this case is new to me, I have written about this type of thing before where Christian florists and bakers were treated with the same contempt, sometimes also being sued. This treatment is normal for Human Rights Commissions because they seem to be stacked with ac-

what it wanted to do and how it wanted to treat its citizens?

I haven’t read of one case where a Christian businessperson received a favorable ruling from a Human Rights Commission. Again, this starts at the top. Corruption at the top encourages corruption farther down the government food chain.

We have seen this before with the IRS, Homeland Security, Secret Service, BATFE, and others. Now we can add HRCs to the list. One woman the president appointed to a national commission said right out loud as she was being appointed that she could not conceive of a situation where the Christian point of view should be upheld. It starts at the top.

Rock Prairie Township

South Township Meeting South Township held their monthly board meeting on August 18, 2014. Those present were Jim Moon, Steve Jones, Glenn Walters.

The FEMA work was completed on or about 720-2014.

Most roads in fair

tivists for the radical causes rather than normal citizens who would give rational, fair decisions as happens with juries.

In addition to commanding the Christian businessman to print what the groups wanted and penalizing him financially, the Commission ordered him to have “diversity training.” Of what might such training consist?

There can only be one purpose. To reprogram the man so his views fit their views. To persuade him that it is proper and right for him to violate his beliefs so they can have their way. Does this remind anyone of the old Soviet Union practice of sending dissenters to institutions for psychiatric treatment so they could manage to see how right the government was in

Congratulations to

Matt Carel & Peyton Grider who tied the knot at Timber Line Barn on Saturday, October 11th.

Peyton is the daughter of Greg & Pamela Grider of Greenfield.

I want to congratulate cousin, Lindsey Julian & Carl Carlin, who tied the knot Saturday evening, October 11th, in a beautiful cowboy theme wedding. The reception was held at the Orleans Trail Resort in Stockton with a wonderful meal catered

by Frickenschmidt's from Lockwood.

There wasn't an empty seat in the house and all the little kids loved dancing. I know they should have all slept really good that night. I also want to commend Lindsey's sister, Erica, on giving her bridesmaid speech without a tear.

Can't say the same for Lindsey. It was cute, funny & sad all at the same time. Everyone really enjoyed themselves and it was just like a big reunion for the younger generation. My son, Colt, even got his Grandma Patsy out on the dance floor for one dance. Lots of pictures were taken and I can't wait to see the professional ones.

Update on James Schilling: He has been moved to the Specialty Hospital on Primrose in Room 125 in Springfield.

They specialize in medically complex and critically ill patients.

Matt & Laurel Prichard just got back from a vacation to Cozumel. They were happy to have Matt's folks come here and watch the girls for them.

Also, Beth & Greg Killingsworth, Travis & Desiree and girls, Jackie Montgomery & sister Jennifer just got back from a wonderful family vacation in Pensacola, Florida.

Kerry Rosenbaum has been in Woodsfield, Ohio, visiting good friend, Brandy Choate & family.

The horse riders made it back last Monday from their yearly horse trip to Eminence, Missouri. They had one night of bad storms & winds but the rest of the week was just right to sit around the camp fire and solve all the problems of the world. They really enjoyed their shrimp night feed which is always good. Rick Baker did ride 2 days against doctor's orders but made it just fine.

Rick & I went to Tulsa on Wednesday for his monthly check-up and all was good except he had lost 2 more pounds.

But I think I found it. Not funny at all. He eats all the time & can't gain and I can just smell it & gain.

Last Tuesday was a very sad day for many in our area. Jack Myers was laid to rest in Daugherty Cemetery. His great-

nephew, Jamie LaSalle done a wonderful job with his service.

Also there was a huge crowd at the graveside services for Todd & Lurleen Pendergrass in Dadeville. We need to keep these families in our thoughts & prayers for the difficult days ahead especially with the holidays coming up.

Was shocked to hear Misty "DeHart" Oczkus found her husband passed away in their home Wednesday when she got home from work.

Josef Oczkus, Jr., was only 42 years old. Joe & Misty had just celebrated their 3rd anniversary on October 1st. He leaves behind his wife, Misty, 1 daughter, Gracie and 2 step-sons, Morgan & Michael Bennett, his father, Josef Oczkus, Sr. & one sister, Cindy Oczkus and father-in-law, Rodney DeHart. Private services will be held at a later date.

Seems like we have suffered a lot of deaths lately.

Rick attended the funeral service of Ursula Stanton, 75, of Ash Grove last Friday. Ursula & her husband, James, started coming over to the Backwoods Restaurant & got to know a lot of the regulars. She even brought the men's table some of her famous rum cakes.

She will be dearly missed by all those who knew her.

Sympathy also goes

out to the loved ones of Bob Baker, 75, who was a big cattle man & business owner in this area & Springfield.

Gary Wirth, 62, who was a 1970 Lockwood graduate and the son of Wesley & Dorothy Wirth of Golden City. He is also survived by his loving wife, Sherry, of Willard and his 3 children.

Evelyn Ruth Backs Kremer, 83, also a graduate of Lockwood passed away this past week. She is the sister to Melvin Backs of Lockwood. Her service will be Wednesday at the Immanual Lutheran Church in Lockwood.

Condolences to all who has lost a loved one.

I enjoyed visiting with Carolyn Underwood one day last week over lunch. We had a lot of catching up to do and she is looking forward to a new grandbaby in about 5 weeks.

Last Friday, I went to Springfield and spent the night with granddaughter, Lucy. We always have a good time and she loves Granny to rock her to sleep.

Got home Saturday afternoon in time to get ready for Lindsey's wedding.

Tim & Brenda McPhail stopped by the Baker home to check on brother, Rick, Friday.

They were on their way back from Lockwood packing plant.

Last Friday night, at

Marionville was senior night for their football players. Two former GHS students were among the honorees: Jake Tullock and Dylan Stockton.

Congratulations guys!

Joe Mead of Everton had some skin cancer removed last week from his hand and talk about some stitches. He had several. We wish him a speedy recovery.

A wedding reception was held at the Lazy P Rodeo grounds Saturday night for newlyweds, Tyler & Lacey Fox Daniel. A live band played and everyone had a good time congratulating them.

Everton was booming with the yearly cookup of Michael Douty and friends. I heard they had lots of good food and also the band that Fred Netzer plays with entertained them.

I tell you the month of October seems to be the busiest month anymore.

Wasn't that a wonderful rain we got even though it really put a damper on Apple Butter Days. We can't complain because we desperately needed it.

Not looking forward to the cold days getting here but I know they are on their way. Baker has had the fire going already and has our wood pile ready.

So until next week stay warm & enjoy the fall colors.

Greenfield Elementary “Secret Garden” Clean Up Submi ed by Jill Scheidt

Monday, September 15, a group of Pennington Seed employees from the Mulch department, the Small Package department, the Return Center and the Warehouse aided the Dade County MU Extension in cleaning up the Secret Garden at the Greenfield Elementary.

In two hours the Pennington Seed employees weeded all the flower beds, trimmed trees, removed debris and seeded new fescue seed in the Secret Garden.

“I really appreciate the hard work Pennington Seed put into this project. Everyone went

right to work and before I knew it, the Secret Garden looked great. I want to thank all the employees that came to help restore a place I thought was so neat when I was a kid, you did an awesome job!” said Jill Scheidt, County Program Director with University of Missouri Extension in Dade County.

In a few weeks the grass should begin to grow, and the Secret Garden will look even better.

If you see any of the Pennington Seed employees, be sure to thank them for their hard work!

Submi ed by Peggy Horton

Dade County Republican Women met Monday, September 22, 2014, at 6:30 p.m. at That Place in Greenfield.

The members ordered from the menu.

The speaker, Roy Beeson, would be late. He is a sophomore at Greenfield High School and was still on the field practicing football.

President, Pat Summerfield, called the meeting to order. The group gave the pledge. LaRue Lemons gave the blessing.

Peggy read the minutes which were accepted as read.

He had to do a lot of paper work.

The family of Sgt. Major Guy Killingsworth donated the money for the project. Upon seeing the finished project, the family was convinced that Guy would truly approve the job.

The Julian Concrete Company donated the cement.

Roy said it took about four days to complete.

The flags represent the branches of the military: Marine, Navy, Army and Air Force.

Certified Work Ready Community Initiative to Kick Off at LHS Submi ed by Bill Rogers Lockwood Superintendent

On Thursday, October 16th, at 1 PM, the Lockwood R-1 School District will host a kickoff event to begin Dade County’s journey to become a Certified Work Ready Community. Joplin TV News and the Business Journal will be present as well as

representatives from the Workforce Investment Board and area representatives of the initiative.

The agreement and proposal will be signed at that time.

The purpose of the Certified Work Ready Community Initiative is for the job seekers and students in our county to earn National Career

Readiness Certificates or NCRC’s.

Over the past decade, nearly two and one half million job seekers and students have earned the NCRC nationally.

For the Four-State Region to be competitive for new jobs and commercial investment, much more is needed. Our region has the opportunity to boost

its competitiveness by investing in more NCRC’s to attract commercial investment and job creation in the future.

There are four achievement levels in the NCRC based on scores from the Work Keys Assessments. The levels are Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum. The three Work keys Assessments are in

applied math, locating information and reading for information.

The Lockwood District will be a testing center for the Work Keys. We will test Lockwood students who do not take the Work Keys at Lamar Vocation Tech School.

Another reason to give our students the Work keys Assessments is

that colleges are beginning to give credit for the NCRC. Our district is proud to be a testing center and also a promoter and supporter of the Certified Work Ready Community Initiative for Dade County. There will be more to come later after the kick-off event.

got all about going to the Optimist club meeting.

Oh, well!!.

Joe is still trying to find out what all the problems are with the old 95 truck, as it is the one we use on the farm for all the heavy work. We ordered a part for it and had to go to Joplin to get it Wednesday.

We got home just in time to get the call from our son, Jim Wiss. He came down and spent the night. Joe stayed home from prayer meeting and

I went on to church to teach my Bible study class.

After prayer meeting, when I got home, Jim and Joe wanted to play a game of cards. We stayed up playing and talking until about 2:30 a.m. (Joe and I are both getting too old for that.)

Thursday, (before the rain came), we went over to Jerry Little’s farm and checked on it. On the way, we stopped at the grave yard and saw the new tomb stone the family had gotten for Jerry, and picked up a little before coming home. I-Blanche took a nap and Joe stayed up and kept the dogs company. They are so afraid of the storms.

Let us remember to pray for all those who are serving our country, (the wars and rumors of wars don’t look good to me) and pray for those in the nursing homes, those in the storms and all the people who have been sick or lost loved ones.

GOD BLESS AMERICA! May God bless us all!

TRUDELL NEWS by Blanche Trudell The rain looks good, and the peppers and tomatoes thinks it’s time to start producing again.

They are blooming their little hearts out, but the frost will get them before they are able to make any more food.

All the humming birds left and have gone south. I saw the last one on September 30th, so I took in all the feeders on the 5th of October, and then I noticed all the red birds back in the fire bush.

Last week, I went to Stockton to help Lisa Ross with her catering. We served all the girls that ran for Queen in the walnut festival, at the Stockton Senior center. It was neat to see all of them and their parents. There were more there than Lisa had planned for but we were able to feed them everything but a few salads and rolls. But nobody left hungry.

Then, after that was finished, we went to the Christian Church where

we served a high school class reunion. There were also many more there than had made reservations. Lisa always makes extra so we had barely enough. Wow, what a busy night. (There were supposed to be around 55 at each and there were over 70 to 75 at each place.)

I just don’t get around to all the things I am supposed to do so I am going to have to give up something. I don’t know what to quit doing

as I like to help where I am needed.

Tuesday, I went to Springfield to see Doctor Olsen for a follow up after my trip to the E.R. with chest pain last week.

The doctors don’t know for sure what is causing my chest pain problems as I have too many problems for anyone to know what the problem is at that time (they all are in my chest).

I felt pretty good and I got home in time to mow the yard, then I for-

Mary K. Glunt

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

It’s a road you’ve traveled before, and you know it well.

You are driving along, almost enjoying the ride, when you see it—the brightly colored sign that says “DETOUR.” Oh, no! you think. I don’t have time for this! But you take the detour because your regular route is blocked, and so begins another adventure on your journey.

It can be exciting. It can be frightening, especially if you don’t know the roads the detour takes you on. But you take the detour because you must.

On his second missionary journey, the apostle Paul planned to go to Asia to minister there, but something was wrong. “6 And they went through the region of Phrygia and Galatia, having been forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak

The Road Traveled Before

the word in Asia. 7 And when they had come up to Mysia, they attempted to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus did not allow them” (Acts 16:6-7).

I don’t know how they were forbidden or kept from traveling to these points, except that they recognized this was God’s hand keeping them from traveling the way they had planned. It wasn’t because they were doing anything wrong. In fact they were doing everything right. It just wasn’t in God’s plan for the moment for them.

There are times in life when our passage seems to be blocked, when the very thing we desire to do, whether for ourselves or for God, is blocked somehow, and we must make other plans. We wait and consider and ex-

plore mentally all of the options, waiting for some confirmation of what God has planned for us, but no way seems clear.

And so we wait, and wonder, and fret.

Waiting for God’s direction is often frustrating and confusing. We want everything in black and white, tied up with a brightly colored bow. No ambiguous directions here, please. Just tell me what to do.

No doubt Paul was wondering what his next move would be, where he would go to preach the gospel. He had been kept from Asia and from Bithynia, so where would they go next? As he prayed and wondered, one night a man appeared to Paul in a vision, a man from Macedonia, asking him to “come and help us.” Paul could have attributed this

vision to a late dinner or having had too much to eat, but being spiritually attuned, Paul recognized this as direction from God, and the rest is history.

Life would be so much easier if God would regularly send us visions to direct us on our paths, but for the most part he doesn’t. We wait, and pray, and seek a sign as to what we should do next. And sometimes we receive those signs, finding direction in everyday life, in the Scriptures, in the counsel of a friend.

God sends direction in ways that we can sense His presence in our lives and understand that we are on the right path, even though it is a detour from where we were originally planning to go. And yet, detours aren’t always easy. Change is oftentimes hard to deal

with, and we find ourselves fretting once again about whether we are on the right path.

I suppose that is where faith comes in, believing that God is involved in our lives and will lead us through no matter how confusing or clouded the way may be. We follow and trust God that the path He is choosing is the one in His plan, the one that will bring glory to Him. Seek God today for direction in your life. It may be that you will continue traveling the path you are on, and for that be thankful.

However, if you see a detour sign, stop and pray, and ask God to show you where you need to be, what the detour will mean for your life and for those whom you will meet.

Blessings.

From The Dade County Health Department

Texas Man Ditches 18-Wheeler

Recent media reports of Ebola cases around the world have raised concerns among the public.

The Dade County Health Department encourages residents to educate themselves about the true risks of contracting the Ebola virus and to remember that public health experts around the world are working diligently to slow and stop the spread of Ebola.

Ebola is a rare, severe and often fatal disease caused by a virus found in several parts of Africa.

It is spread from person to person through direct contact with blood and body fluids like saliva, urine or vomit, or through contact with objects that have been contaminated with blood or body fluids.

To protect yourself from Ebola, avoid contact with the blood or body fluid of a person infected with Ebola or items that may be contaminated with blood or body fluid from an infected person.

Health care workers treating an infected patient are at highest risk, and should wear personal protective equipment.

A person who is infected with Ebola is not contagious until symptoms appear, anywhere from 2 – 21 days after ex-

posure, but usually around 8 – 10 days.

Symptoms of Ebola usually include a fever of more than 101.5°F, a severe headache, muscle pain, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain, and unexplained bruising or bleeding. These symptoms can be common to many illnesses, including the seasonal influenza.

Since timely treatment increases the chance of survival from Ebola, it is important to let your health care provider know right away if you have any of these symptoms AND recently traveled to an area of Africa currently involved in the Ebola outbreak, OR were recently exposed to the blood or body fluid of a person who was infected with Ebola. Your provider can run specific tests to make a diagnosis.

There are no specific vaccines or medications that have been proven to be effective against Ebola.

Health care providers will treat symptoms of Ebola as they appear. Recovery from Ebola depends on a person’s immune response, and people who recover develop antibodies that last for at least 10 years.

Public health experts around the nation and around the world continue to work diligently to prevent, slow and stop the spread of Ebola.˚

He fell from a tree at his house, while treating it, and broke his back. He had complications which took his life. My sympathy to his family.

Jim and Jane ran the Collier Hardware Store in Miller for many years.

Jim had a real talent for fixing things. We will miss him.

My family and I are happy Chad Gillaspy has reached his dream and goal to play basketball beyond high school and college. He and his wife of one year boarded a plane bound for Padora, Italy, September 27th, 2014. He signed a contract to play for the sea-

son for 9 months. They played their first game at 5 p.m. Sadly, they lost their first game, but he did well. He scored 24 points and 2 dunks.

The Miller High School football boys are on a roll of winning. The Lockwood game will be interesting, neither have lost.

How about those Royal and Cardinals?

Hope they can keep their roll of winning going.

I have had some late nights getting to bed from watching them.

Until next time.

Submi ed by Pamela Allen, Administrator Dade County Health Department

By Cle s McConnell Vede e Reporter

A Texas man was not injured, but delayed for a time when he ditched his FTI trailer and tractor at

the intersection of 97 and NN, south of Lockwood, Wednesday, October 8, 2014.

Jessie Munson had missed a turn and was at-

tempting to turn around with two tractors on his trailer about 10:15 a.m. when he ditched it, authorities said.

Jay Brown’s Wrecker

Service of Greenfield was called to the scene.

Investigating the accident was Cpl. Call of the Missouri State Highway Patrol.

Johnsongrass, a Pest with Multiple Weapons Submi ed by Jill Scheidt Agronomy Specialist

Currently, Johnsongrass is the only grass listed on the Missouri Dept. of Agriculture’s noxious weeds list. This perennial grass can reach over 6 feet in height, is found throughout the United States from Massachusetts to Florida to southern California, and can live in habitats ranging from roadside ditches to pastures to agronomic crop fields.

Johnsongrass produces rhizomes, which are root-like structures that spread underground and are the vegetative structures from which new shoots emerge.

Secondly, Johnsongrass forms large seed heads. These seed heads, or panicles, have a purple tint, and the seeds are approximately 3 to 5 mm in length (just under 1/8th of an inch). One plant can produce as many as 80,000 seed in one year.

The leaves of John-

songrass are without hairs (or glabrous), reach about 6 to 20 inches in length, and have white midveins as they reach maturity.

Prior to the formation of a seed head, this grass can be mistaken for barnyardgrass and/or fall panicum as all three grasses have leaves with prominent midveins. However, the ligules, or thin structures that occur at the junction between the leaf and stem, are membranous on Johnsongrass, consist of a fringe of hairs on fall panicum, and are altogether absent on barnyardgrass. Additionally, both barnyardgrass and fall panicum lack rhizomes.

The origins of Johnsongrass introduction in the U.S. are debated; however, the consensus is that the seed was introduced as a forage crop in the 19th century. The end of the Civil War may have aided in the weeds rapid movement across the country as authorities ordered that the grass be

planted in eroded soils that had been fallow during the war. Regardless of when Johnsongrass was actually spread, the control and eradication of this weed has been challenging ever since.

At a minimum, Johnsongrass control programs should seek to: 1) prevent spread of rhizomes from infested to un-infested areas, 2) kill or weaken established plants and their underground rhizome root system, 3) control seedlings that originate from shattered seed, and 4) prevent production of seed and its spread to new areas.

It is also important to note that glyphosate-resistant (group 9) biotypes of Johnsongrass have been reported in nine U.S. states, and also that Johnsongrass populations with resistance to Group 2 ACCase-inhibiting herbicides (SelectMax, Assure II, Fusilade, etc.) occur in at least five states.

Fall is actually a very ef-

fective time for controlling Johnsongrass with herbicides, as the net flow of carbohydrates and photosynthates within the plant is towards the rootstocks. Therefore, by applying a herbicide at this time of year, more herbicide is translocated into the roots, resulting in better long-term control of this troublesome perennial weed species. One of the most effective herbicide treatments for this weed is glyphosate (Roundup, Touchdown, etc.). If the plants have been cut off with a sickle mower or combine, make sure to wait for the plants to resume active growth before treatment. Field infestations of Johnsongrass should also be minimized by actively controlling the Johnsongrass in the non-planted areas surrounding the field and by driving field equipment around weedy patches instead of through them.

WEST SIDE NEWS by Darlene Logan Summer is over and winter is coming. But first lets enjoy the pretty fall colors and the cool, crisp weather.

I see pumpkins placed in peoples yards, on porches and some are on hay bales along with scare crows and other fall decorations, such as pretty mums.

September was a busy month. Since I didn’t get an article written, all those events are now old news.

However, I will mention this, September Days in Lockwood, was the first one they have had for a few years. It was a beautiful day and

everyone seemed to enjoy all the events throughout the day. My sister, Maxine and I, set up our crafts and sold a few things. Now, we are thinking of setting up at the Stockton show, November 7th, from 8 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. It will be held at the St. Andrew Lutheran Church on Hwy 39 south, of Stockton.

My daughter, Anita and her daughter, Holly, make cute snowmen and scarecrows out of small and big vases. They will have a booth at Apple Butter Days, but it doesn’t sound like the weather is going to coop-

erate. It’s a shame when this happens. Everyone works so hard to make it a happy event.

I got a little excited when I looked out my kitchen window to the east on Wednesday, when I seen something big and black moving ever so slowly over Miller town. I thought maybe the aliens had come to get us!!!!

As it got close to my house, I could see it was a big gray blimp. I guess the pilot could see I was staring at it so he did a uturn in front of my house, and slowly went on west. I was watching from my porch.

It looked like a big gray whale floating in the sky! I tried to read the writing on it, but my eyes wouldn’t quite reach that far. I thought one word was state. I hope a lot of people seen it. I know Hal Choate did. He couldn’t read the writing either.

Some of my friends returned from a camping trip to the Chuck Wagon Races and a few days stay at Stockton Lake.

Those enjoying their outing were the Reynolds, Myers, and Beavers.

They all have campers.

Our community was saddened and shocked at the death of Jim Collier.
