Everton School District Seeks $855,000 Bond To Repair And Renovate The High School And Old Elementary Buildings

Submi ed by Dr. Karl Janson Superintendent Everton Schools
On November 4th, 2014, the school district will ask the voters to approve a 55 cent property tax to make repairs and renovations to the district’s buildings. The high school section was built in the early 1940’s and the old elementary wing was built in the 1950’s. Neither section has been upgraded since first being constructed. According to Dr. Janson, this causes them to waste a lot of energy. “During the winter of 2014, we burned 24,500
gallons of propane. We were unable to keep classrooms in those sections at room temperature without employing expensive space heaters. “In the spring, summer and fall months, these sections use window AC units which are loud and inefficient. “The project we have put together will address these issues by removing the large window banks that allow so much of the heat and cold to go in and out, replacing them with insulated walls with much fewer windows. “We did this in one room two years ago and the difference is amazing.
Even during the coldest days last winter, this room was able to maintain room temperature. “We will also be installing new energy efficient lighting in insulated drop ceilings. Additionally we will be removing the window AC units and the boiler and replacing it with an energy efficient HVAC system. “Currently to heat one room in these sections we must heat them all. This will allow us to only heat and cool rooms that need it. We will also be able to move away from our dependence on propane which as you may recall had a shortage
E.Coli And Coliform Found In Local Wells
Dade County Well Water by Dade County Health Department The Dade County Health Department has recently processed numerous water samples from local citizens, mostly from the Everton area. The tests provide information on the presence or absence of coliform and ecoli bacteria in their water use. A small percentage of these samples have resulted in positive results for either form of these contaminants. Keep in mind that these test results are not from all the wells in the area, but just from the ones that were tested. Citizens may get sample containers and instructions from the Dade County Health Department and get their water tested for $15.00, with re-
sults in 24 hours. They may alternately prefer to have their samples sent to the State lab for the same testing for $10.00, but the results will not be available for a week. Samples can only be submitted Monday through Wednesday, as incubation time must be considered. Your local health department will continue to provide the citizens prompt service. Larry Rice, EPHS (Environmental Public Health Specialist) will be available to answer any questions or concerns that citizens may have. People using private wells with concerns should either boil their water before drinking, or use bottled water until test results are re-
last year and our cost has gone up 30% for this year.” Dr. Janson said the feedback so far had been positive. “We understand that no one wants to pay more taxes, but as a school we are losing a lot of money literally out the windows that could be directed to improve the instructional programs in the district.” The projects are expected to save the district about $14,000 annually. In the last two years, the district has added a preschool, become an A+ school, high tech campus with Wi-Fi, and increased the number of graduates
attending college or some other post-secondary training while reducing the dropout rate. “We have a terrific school district. We are headed in the right direction in all areas. The older sections of the buildings need some upgrades and with the 21st century technologies we can save a lot of money. All of these projects with the exception of the roof repairs and replacements will have a direct impact on student learning in the classroom.” If anyone wishes to discuss the bond issue in more detail they should contact Dr. Janson at 417535-2221.

A few residents in Dade County, mainly the Everton area, have found they have e.coli or coliform bacteria in their water. Frank and Becky Jerome of rural Everton have had their well tested and the results were e.coli, a dangerous bacteria. Becky has been sick for months and they now wonder if there is a connection. Their water is sparkling in a glass, no odor or bad taste. Frank states his main concern of course is his wife, Becky, family, friends and neighbors. He worries about the elderly generation not knowing to check their wells. He just wants to get the word out and urges everyone to have their wells tested. For now, you are urged to have your wells analyzed. Frank and Becky are hoping for a solution to be found soon. Frank stated the situation is just really frustrating and hopes DNR and The Health Department finds what and where the contamination came from.

work. Tin horns, are land owners responsibility, the township will help with labor is the usual procedure advised the commission. Davis replied there is no communication, no plan, nothing from the township! Commission Daniel advised that the only answer is county wide government to maintain roads, abolishing township form government. A petition for county wide government requires 370 signatures by voters in Dade County. The commission has not pushed publicly regarding misunderstanding that the commission wants control, this is not true, we want the people to have their say. It will require two steps to successfully go county wide, 1. vote to abolish township, 2. vote a county wide levy of approximately .65 (cents) for each tax payer. The last Tuesday in January the petition must be turned in to be on the next ballot. Judge Munton advised of a fee that is going to be charged circuit wide for shelter, paid to Lafayette House in Joplin for shelter and training, we do use their services, will follow up with the commission when there is further discussion
needed. Grant Township met with the Commission regarding some tin horns they are needing. Gaylon Beerly, Natan Robinson and Max Leeper represent the township. Beerly explained that Max did a good job cleaning out the ditches, that project is pretty well completed. Other project needs two tin horns, split them apart to deter so much water in one place causing an ongoing problem. The commission advised they will order the tin horns today! Dan Wadlington with Roy Blunt’s office met with the commission. Wadlington advised a recent announcement today on Farm Deal, have not passed Insurance rates on health insurance yet. The county does not have more than 50 employees. The County pays 75% for employees and elected officials. The county is starting two BRO bridge projects next spring explained Daniel. One is west of town and one is south (Fiddlers Ford) the last wooden bridge in the county along Turn Back Creek. The Commission checked on a low water crossing on E. Dade 102, also checked on a road issue on E. Dade 96.

Carter is a very active 3year-old. Today, Thursday, is a sad, sad day for me as well as others. This morning my pet cat and good friend was not on his box waiting for the door to open. I called him and thought he would be there any minute. Up in the morning, I noticed something white beside the street. I didn’t want to think what might be! I called Paul to come over after work. He called Patty, his wife, to come over. She did and yes, it was my pet cat. He was a very unusual cat, so loveable and liked everyone. He was unusual in so many ways, a really good pet. How I will miss him, so much company to me. Paul and Patty will bury him in the garden along with other pets buried there. Now I must get down to business. Friday night, Lockwood suffered their first loss in football. I had a call Saturday from Nancy in Anchorage, Alaska. Their flight home was good and they found everything okay in their house. Sunday and Monday were not good days for me. No church and no therapy Monday. I am so appreciative of my cleaning lady who comes on Monday afternoon. This community was in shock when we heard of the death of Pam (Brian) Wehrman. To Brian, Natalie, family and friends, we send our sympathies. Services were Wednesday. LaRue Lemons is being treated for pneu-
monia at Springfield Mercy Hospital. I would say she will be home when you read this. Today, Thursday, Madge Thompson is having surgery. And Laura (Dr.) Mabee under went knee replacement Monday at Joplin Freeman Hospital. Sympathies to Janet Holland whose sister lost her battle to cancer. I believe she lived in an eastern state. Now for a brighter side. Trees are becoming so pretty with their leaves beginning to turn. I have some beautiful yellow trees, and yes, leaves are falling. With all my trees, leaves will be thick. John was so good to keep them raked. Tuesday, I went to therapy. They are trying to get my energy back. This week I had a nice visit by phone from Peggy Groszek in Olathe, Kansas. Her sister was the late Betty Simon of Lockwood. We have received some good rains that has greened the grass. My neighbor’s yard is so green; moisture here feeds the trees first. Monthly basket dinner was Wednesday night at United Methodist Church. October birthdays and anniversaries were honored. And what a group of youth there. I would say two dozen or more. They have their meeting before we eat. Some 50 to 60 kids come to Kids Quest after school on Tuesdays. Kids come from other churches or non churched. They have good leaders. The Methodist Church is busy preparing for Harvest Day coming up October 31st and November 1st. Within the last two or three weeks, this area has experienced more than their share of sad events that happened. Do remember those who need our prayers. No school this afternoon and tomorrow, parent-teacher meetings. Have a good week.

ANTIOCH PILGRIM NEWS by Lesia Jones Week of October 10 Jack Myers was laid to rest on Tuesday morning. A large crowd attended to show their last respect. Our deepest sympathy to all their family. Todd and LurleenPendergrass graveside services were held on Tuesday afternoon at Dadeville. Words can not express our deepest sympathy to all the family and friends of this couple. May God comfort them in a way that we can’t. Darren and Sandy Vandegrift came to mom’s, Betty Vandegrift, on Sunday and stayed until Tuesday. They had came in for the Pendergrass funeral. Darren and Todd have been friends for years. I remember as little boys, riding their dirt bikes, tearing them apart and putting back together. Lucille Franklin enjoyed having family from California with her for about a week. Lots of visiting going on. Mom visited in her home also. PTSO carnival is upon us. I always have a carnival box all year long. I remember working in it and so appreciative of every donation we got. The Rodeo Clown husband and wife team did a awesome job at Liberty on October 12. Of course, there was refreshments afterwards and everyone enjoyed. Kim and I attended the fish fry at Ash Grove. They were very pleased with the turn out. May start having 2 a year since Everton is not having their fish fry. It is all for a good cause. Sympathy to the families of Jackie Freize. I worked with his brother, Jay and mother, Lorene, at Dunbrookes years ago. Our thoughts and prayers have been with you. Donnie Bishop had his big man cook up on Friday night and then they went hunting. There were several men there to enjoy the food and stories. The grandkids spent the night with us and MiMi got to entertain them. Chloe ended up in bed with us and OMG she is a holy terror to sleep with. I know that Andi Montgomery is very appreciative to Ruthie Wilkins of Joyful Heart for letting her do the mums project for FFA. I have seen her mums and she has done a great job. Week of October 17 Saturday, Kelbey and Myself went to Apple Butter Days. Not a very nice weekend for it and I felt sorry for them. Saw Sarah Walters-Holland there with her booth. It was so cute. Saturday night was the big wedding of Lindsey Julian and Carl Carlin. It was a beautiful evening and everyone had a great time. Wade and Chloe spent the night with us. We wish them many happy years
together. There were lots of happiness tears shed. On Saturday night, October 11, was the Liberty hay ride. They estimated they had around 100 people there. They had 2 flat bed trailers with all types of musical talent going on. One of the biggest and best. Happy 90th birthday to Raymond Estep. Many more. Happy 87th birthday to Florence Siders. She has taught many music lessons to area students and played many times for school functions. Many more. Three cheers to Mr. and Mrs. Howard Wilkerson and Pat McKinley for all their donations to the Mercy Hospice. I took 2 car loads. It will be enjoyed by many. You have spread your blessing among several who have been diagnosis with cancer. Thank you very much. On Wednesday, Bill Jones, Jerry Jones and Peggy Jones all went to Columbus, Kansas, to see the men’s sister, Wilma and Wayne Mallory. The men are still helping their sister do some cleaning out and get ready for winter. I had talked to Wilma and she is so appreciative of them helping her. Wayne is not doing very well and not able to do much. Lucille Franklin and Betty Vandegrift enjoyed Apple Butter Days on Friday in the rain. So sorry to hear that the house at Dilday Mill burnt. So sad to see that. Understand they were just lucky to get out. Our prayers are with them. Niece, Courtnee Leeper, moved to Bentonville, Arkansas and started her new career with the Wal Mart. Her parents, Tim and Lynetta Leeper, moved her over the weekend. This has been a long sad week with the passing our dear friend, Maggie Jones. She worked on Friday, ended up at Cox hospital on Monday and went to her heavenly home on Tuesday morning, October 14 with her family all around her. She smiled going out as I know she saw the light and all the loved ones holding their arms out for her. She fought a tough battle for as long as she could. But to know that she is no longer in pain, and will always be us. God always takes the best and it is our loss and heaven’s gain. She will be deeply missed by all. Keep all her family in your thoughts and prayers. I know the one thing that Maggie said was she was so sorry she would not get to see all the milestones of her precious grandchildren, Abby and Tyler. They were the highlight of her life. But they will always remember those precious memories she left them with. I am almost getting caught up. I do keep notes; my purse is full of sticky notes. It’s just if I
can keep the right news with the right time frame. Oh well, blame it on old age, too busy or whatever. Hope everyone had a great week. Week of October 24 It is hard to pass the driveway where Maggie and her little red Vibe came out of every morning. I would see her tire tracks coming out of the lane, I might see her tail lights in the distance. We always said our angels were watching over us traveling to Springfield everyday to our jobs. We spent many hours on the phone of a morning talking, planning or whatever and then get to work and email Suzie to let her know what we had planned and what her part was. That was always the joke. That chapter of our lives has closed, but the memories will never fade. She may be gone, but she will never be forgotton. She left her dash with all of us. I know she is happy and at peace, watching and smiling at us. Our deepest sympathy to the family of Maggie Jones. Our thoughts and prayers will continue to be with them for weeks to come. The things that are yet to come with the holidays without their loved ones. All the questions from the little ones. So hard for them to understand. Maggie was the life of the party. But she will always be with them and watching over them. The power of prayer and faith will get you through this difficult time. On Friday was visitation for Maggie Jones at the Greenfield Funeral Chapel. A large crowd attended, showing their last respect for the family and life of Maggie. I was happy to get to visit with several different ones and share tales on Maggie. Kelbey Bowles enjoyed supper on Friday night with Tammy and Richard McMasters after visitation. Jacob and Abby joined us for breakfast on Saturday morning. I got up early to start fixing food for the Myers reunion that day at 1. Graveside services were held at 11 for Maggie Jones at the Antioch Christian Church. She had walked that cemetery many times as she was the treasurer, decorated, put flag out on Memorial Day and had work days. Rex Jones
and Bert Ward did a great job and Maggie would have been pleased. A nice crowd attended. Lots of excitement, after the funeral was over. Bill Jones went down and passed out twice. God was watching over him as we had 2 doctors there and several registered nurses by his side watching over him until the ambulance arrived. Bill had to spend the weekend in the hospital and they ran several tests and he came home with a heart monitor. It will be next week before we find out the results of it. I told Bill I thought he was going with Maggie and he said, “OH NO! Maggie sent him back.” We have got some good laughs out of that. After getting Bill settled in a room at the hospital, Kim and I stopped to get a sandwich. Breakfast was our only meal that day. Too much going on. We arrived home around 9 and was worn out. His brother, Jerry and Donna Jones, came up to the hospital to check on Bill just as we were leaving. On Sunday, back to the hospital and got to bring Bill home. Kelbey went with me, also. His brother, Jerry, had visited with him, also. I was so sorry that I did not get to attend the concert that was given for Leanna Clair. Things just don’t always work out the way you want them to. But I was thinking about them while we were sitting in ER. The Myers reunion was on Saturday at 1 at the First Christian Church Community Room. One of the larger crowds attended this year. I told Kelbey before I got in the ambulance to be sure and go to the house and get all the food I had fixed that morning. She took care of that for me and brought my dishes back to me. They are looking for a couple family members to put this together for next year. Sorry to report that Mildred Delk of Everton had fallen and had to have some surgery. The good news is she is doing great following surgery and will be back to her normal activities before you know it. I did not realize this had happened. Wishing her a speedy recovery and by the time I found out she is almost recovered. Way to go, Mildred. Tom Hall has been in the hospital for several

days with heart issues. Keep him in your prayers. He is the father of Susan Vandegrift. Betty Vandegrift and Lucille Franklin visited with him on Thursday. These ladies were out running around again. On Tuesday afternoon, I visited with Peggy Jones for a short time and then ran by and checked on Bill Jones. Kim had gone hunting with Roger Delk this evening. They had a really good hunt. On Wednesday, Jerry Jones came down and visited with his brother, Bill Jones and took him to town. Bill is really enjoying all this attention. Well, we have a new addition to the Pilgrim area. David and Jennifer Jones-Davis are very proud parents of a baby girl named Joley Ann and weighed 7 pounds and 9 ounces. She made her appearance on October 21 at the Carthage Hospital. Proud grandparent are Rex and Brenda Jones, Alan and Sandy Davis, Charlene and Denny Wilson all of Everton. Great grandmother is Peggy Jones of Greenfield. This little girl will make everyone stand up and get their attention. Oh and talk about having all these people wrapped around her little fingers. It will be bad. We won’t call her spoiled; just spoiled rotten. Congrats on this special little package. Sympathy to our editor at the Vedette, Marlene DeClue, in the loss of her nephew Todd and wife Lurleen Pendergrass. I have been thinking of all the family. You continue to be in our daily thoughts and prayers. On Monday night, I got to visit with Suzanne Steeley at her home. We needed to go down memory lane and did. Memories are so wonderful. Laugh and then cry. On Sunday after I got Bill home, I ran down to Jennifer Davis home to give her a baby present. Had a good visit and then came Rex and Brenda Jones and visit. Went home and got the 2 pies I had baked and Kim and I headed to Don Bishop. Met Rex and Brenda in the road, so they turned around and followed us to Donnie. We all visited and tried to get Donnie to cut his pie, but it never happened. So we left. Kim and I then headed to Paul and Leona Clabough where we delivered the second
pie as part of Paul’s recovery. I knew a chocolate pie would do the trick. Visited and home where Kim and I enjoyed apple pie and ice cream. Rex told me he also liked apple pie, but he didn’t follow me home so he got none. It was good, Rex, warmed up and scoop of ice cream, yum, yum. Not so easy on the waist line, but that is what elastic pants are for. Week ago Thursday night, Kelbey and all her co workers from the Mercy Clinic in Lockwood all went out for supper for Mexican at Mt. Vernon. She said they had a blast and plan to do that every couple months. They are so busy at work they don’t get a chance to visit, so they got caught up. Yeah, girls night out. Speaking of elastic pants, Pastor Rick at Liberty said he had a hard time getting his suit on from all the food at Liberty. I told him that is why woman like elastic pants. They expand. Ha!! On Wednesday night, after bible study, we met at the Liberty church for the starting of the Ladies Retreat 2015. A lot of things were put on the table regarding theme, decorations, foods, singers, speakers. We will be meeting again right after church on November 2. August 22 is the date for next year so mark that calendar. Deepest sympathy to the Brian Wehrman family in the loss of his wife. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Thank you to sisters Teresa Melton and Tammy Garver for your special acts of kindness. It is so appreciated. Sympathy to the Taylor family in Everton. This was a brother to Pat Taylor and wife Doana. You’re in our thoughts and prayers. Well I am finally caught up with my news and I am sending it in early on Thursday as I am on vacation on Friday and doing more car shopping. So maybe I can get back on the right track next week and keep up. Kim Jones visited with Peggy Jones on Wednesday as he had taken her some apples from our tree. Until then, Be safe and when was the last time you told someone you loved them??

Hurley Farms Awarded Top Animal Welfare Certification The herd of beef cattle at Hurley Farms, Ash Grove, Missouri, is now certified as Animal Welfare Approved. This certification and food label lets consumers know these animals are raised in accordance with the highest animal welfare standards in the U.S. and Canada, using sustainable agriculture methods on an independent family farm. Like other AWA farmers across the country, Deanna and Ed Hurley recognize the growing consumer interest in how animals are raised on farms. Managing animals outdoors on pasture or
range has known benefits for animals, consumers and the environment. Hurley Farms is one of a handful of trusted AWAcertified farms to supply high-quality grassfed cattle to the well-known Shire Gate Beef brand. Owned by former St. Louis Rams' linebacker, Will Witherspoon, Shire Gate Farm was recently awarded a contract to serve sustainable, highwelfare grassfed hot dogs and burgers at concessions facilities this season at the 64,000-capacity Edward Jones Dome, home of the St. Louis Rams. As well as managing Hurley Farms, Deanna Hurley also works as farm manager at Shire

between the constant fluttering of little wings as birds were busy with the fall buffet of seeds and berries; the squirrels as
they scampered in search of that perfect acorn to tuck away for a cold winter’s day; chipmunks moving so quickly if you didn’t look fast you would miss them altogether; and even a slim rough green snake moving slowly due to the temperature change. What stole the autumn show though was the palette of vibrant leaf colors from the subtle lemony leaves of the elm speckled with brown nutmeg like flecks, the deep reddish purple of the dogwood, the intense bright yellow of the hickories or the rusty red oak leaves all tucked under a cobalt blue sky. For those of us lucky enough to be outside, it was a day to remember.

Superintendent’s Minute By Jeff Davis EdD Superintendent Greenfield R-IV
Drugs in Greenfield Schools seem to be an ongoing concern with the patrons of not only this community but other communities around southwest Missouri. It is appropriate that as superintendent of Greenfield I should address this subject. For the last few years we have seen a major drop in all drug activity in and around the Greenfield School District. I would like to say that all activity in Greenfield has stopped, but I can’t. I also know that even through all of our efforts there are still predators in our society that try to lead our young people into the darkness of drugs. It only takes a very few degenerates to give a community a bad name and a negative reputation. The same goes for the reputation of a school community. It seems that despite all of our efforts some people still associate Greenfield with drug abuse. This is unfair to every law abiding, tax paying, and working individual in this community. Our efforts as a community, school board, school administration and parents are being effective in our mission to stop drug abuse. We have chosen to fight drugs in this community instead of denying they exist. We have implemented our D.A.R.E. program for our elementary and middle school students knowing that teaching our children while they are young is vitally important. Educating our students on the dangers of drugs and the drug environment is essential in protecting our kids. Since I have been in Greenfield all of our local law enforcement agencies have been very cooperative in working with the school district to keep the drug predators away from our kids and our school. We have also worked on many occasions with the State Police and the Drug Task Force in the sharing of information that has helped in making our school and community safer. We have made several purchases of real estate that we have used to buffer the distance between drug predators and their proximity to our campuses. We have implemented 24 hour surveillance cameras in and around our Jr. and Sr. High buildings and since that implementation we have caught drug deals on video and severely punished the individuals. We have limited outside access to our students by connecting our school
buildings and limit public access. Keeping the drug predators out and our children safe is a team effort that everyone on our school staff takes very seriously. When I say we do not ignore the drug problem I mean we hold everyone accountable. We have one of the most intensive random drug testing policies in the state of Missouri. Any student that participates in any after school activity, major school event, or wishes to park a vehicle on school property must be part of our random drug testing program. We test twenty students twice monthly, four middle school students and 16 high school. The information is totally confidential and we share the results only with the parents. We do this to guarantee eligibility in extracurricular and cocurricular activities and inform parents should a problem exist. We use a very professional and experienced company from Springfield Employee Screening . This is the same company we use for our bus drivers and substitutes. They are good at what they do. Some of our patrons may think we do this just to incriminate our students. This can’t be further from the truth. We use this information to check and see if what we are doing in drug prevention is working and viable. We do not use our discipline policy if a student tests positive. We only hold them out of school activities for a specific period of time. Our drug policy is in the Student Handbook and is a matter of public record. Without getting too specific I can say that last year we had fewer than three positive responses and out of the three only one were determined to be 100% positive (a negative response could be a refusal), so far this year we have had zero. We continually monitor ourselves to make sure what we are doing is working for our students and staff. Do we have a drug problem in Greenfield? If we have only one predator in our community selling or giving drugs to kids then I will say yes we have a drug problem. Admitting that there are problems and taking steps to protect every student from the darkness of drugs should be seen as strength of the school district. We refuse to ignore the dangers our kids face because of the prevalence of illicit drug use in our society. Let’s all be positive and work together for the future of our kids.

A new Walmart opened Wednesday, October 22, following a brief ribbon-cutting ceremony at 7:30 a.m. The new store is conveniently located at 500 W. Mount Vernon Blvd. and is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The store will provide Mount Vernon residents and surrounding areas with low prices on a broad assortment of merchandise and offer Walmart's free Site to Store program, enabling customers to choose from nearly a million additional online items that can be ordered on Walmart.com and picked up at the Mount Vernon store for free, often as quickly as the same day. The new store employs approximately 130 full- and part-time associates. Store manager Cherity Green began her Walmart career in 1996 as a sales associate in shoes.
“We’re thrilled to finally be opening in Mount Vernon,” said Green. “We have everything you need for your tailgates and family gatherings as we head towards the holiday season.” Affordable Groceries to Meet All Your Needs The new store offers fresh produce and a full line of groceries from all the leading brand names and local favorites for school lunches. In addition to groceries, the store features quality, value-priced general merchandise, including electronics and sporting goods. In addition, customers can shop a broader assortment of items online at Walmart.com and then pay for these purchases with cash in all of Walmart U.S. stores and Walmart Neighborhood Markets, including the new Mount Vernon store. The pharmacy offers a full range of products and services. Pharmacy
team members can answer product and prescription questions and customers can ask about health and wellness solutions. Mount Vernon residents can easily transfer prescriptions and order refills on the go with the Walmart mobile app for iPhone and Android. “We’ve been looking forward to Walmart opening in Mount Vernon,” said Mayor David
W. Eden. “The additional tax revenue and traffic will be beneficial for the city; we’re looking forward to having a mutually beneficial relationship with Walmart.” Community Giving The grand-opening celebration includes presentations of $8,000 in grants from Walmart to local community groups. Grant recipients include
The First Baptist Church of Sarcoxie, First Presbyterian Church of Mount Vernon’s Community Diaper Pantry Kiwanis Club of Mount Vernon, Lawrence County Sheriff’s Office Victim’s Advocate Unit, Miller Rural Fire Protection District, the Mount Vernon Police Department’s “Project Dare”, Mount Vernon Fire Department, and Summit Baptist Church.

Mrs. Dotson’s Wildcat Weekly The month of October was very busy at Greenfield Elementary! Here are some of the many activities we had going on this past month: We practiced all of our emergency drills We had assemblies from the Office of Emergency Management and on Fire Prevention
Our Fifth and Sixth Graders had their music concert and the Fourth Graders sang The National Anthem during Senior Night at the football game on October 17th The students were able to enjoy learning about Food for America We met with parents for Parent-Teacher Conferences We celebrated Red Ribbon Week the last week in October! This month brought out the best in so many of our students. They are participating in a kindness challenge and there
are many of them who are practicing random acts of kindness every day. That may be helping out in the classroom, around the school or by just being a good friend to someone who needs it. This month the kindness, generosity and compassion of the students, faculty, and staff at Greenfield Elementary, Greenfield R-IV School District and the greater Greenfield community became truly apparent. It is an honor to be a Wildcat. Go Big Blue!
(JEFFERSON CITY, Mo.)--The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) on October 15, 2014, granted a waiver for farmers working to harvest and transport grain to storage facilities. The declaration will allow farmers to increase the weight allowable for shipment of corn and other commodities by 10 percent. "As soon as fields are dry enough, combines will start rolling again," said Missouri Corn Growers Association President Kevin Hurst of Tarkio, Mo. "With this year's narrowing harvest window, the waiver will enable growers to get crops out of the fields and transported to storage quickly to prevent crop loss. We appreciate Governor Jay Nixon, the Missouri Department of Agriculture and the Missouri Department of Transportation for responding to our request." The waiver will remain in effect for 60 days. Overweight permits are not required. All other traffic and motor carrier regulations remain in place. This waiver is in effect through midnight, Dec. 14, 2014. With MoDOT's declaration, participating farmers will be required to abide by the following: A loaded, gross weight no greater than 10 percent above the gross licensed weight of the commercial motor vehicle; Transport of commodities from the farm to another facility, transportation between facilities and empty return trips on non-interstate highways within the state; When crossing a bridge, the driver must restrict the vehicle speed to no more than 30 miles per hour and must center the truck between two lanes of the bridge. The truck driver must yield to oncoming traffic. Missouri's corn crop is expected to set a new statewide record according to the Oct. 10 forecast from the United States Department of Agriculture. Show-Me State growers are on track to harvest a projected 599 million bushels of corn, easily surpassing the previous record of 466.5 million bushels set in 2004. Nationwide, corn farmers are expected to harvest 14.5 billion bushels. This is also a new production record. Visit www.mocorn. org to learn more about the Missouri corn industry. For motor carriers with waiver questions, call MoDOT Motor Carrier Services at 1-800-8778499.

Time is flying, and Sunday, November 16th, will be here before you know it. Ebenezer will be having a potluck after church on the 16th, and I hope you will consider coming by to say good-bye. It has been a tremendous pleasure to share with you these past seven years and to meet many of you out in the community. We have talked about so many things in these articles. Some days I wracked my brain trying to think of something to share. Other days it just flowed. This week I had started an article, but just as I was nearing the end, my laptop hard drive stopped working and I had to rewrite! So here it is. Many of us have been captivated by the World Series, especially because of the presence of the Royals in the games. Our lives are often like baseball. Day to day we participate in regular season games, until one day, we find
Time Is Flying
ourselves in a challenge that is greater than anything we have ever faced. We hope for victory, to be the winnertake-all, but it doesn’t always happen that way. (This isn’t by any means a foretelling of anything concerning the Series!) What is it about victory, about winning, that is so appealing to us? We want to win. We want to be on top, but life isn’t always on the mountain top. At times we are taken to the valley, at other times to the rocky crags where we experience loss and sorrow. How can we cope with these varied experiences and still retain our joy and peace? Last Sunday, during our prayer request time, one of our members suggested that we take the time to be thankful for the wonderful weather we are experiencing. She reminded us that too often we dwell on the negative aspects of life and forget to count our
blessings. Well said! When we lose one of the games, when things don’t turn out as we had hoped or planned, it is imperative that we consider that this circumstance is only a small part of the life that God has planned for us. It is important that we remember that God’s blessings come through many venues, not just the pleasant ones. Speaking with His disciples, Jesus reminded them that he was going to suffer and to die, but Peter didn’t believe that was God’s will. He insisted that Jesus wouldn’t be arrested and suffer at the hands of others. Jesus stopped him in his tracks, saying that Peter did not “have in mind the concerns of God, but merely human concerns” (Matthew 16:23). Speaking through the prophet Isaiah God spoke to His people: “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher
than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts” (Isaiah 55:9). We can find peace in our sorrows and in the down moments by remembering that God’s plans are higher than anything we can plan or desire. God sees the big picture and will take us through every circumstance. “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future” (Jeremiah 29:11). You know the old adage: “It isn’t whether you win or lose; it’s how you play the game.” This applies, as well, to life. We won’t “win” every time, according to the world’s view of winning. We won’t always be victors according to the world’s view of victory. But when we approach life with the knowledge that God is working in our lives and has a plan for us, we are more than victorious.
“Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?” the Apostle Paul asked. “Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? . . . No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us” (Romans 8:35-37). By the time you read this, you will know whether the Royals won the World Series or not. You might be elated, or you might be disappointed. In either case, the sun will rise another day, and we will hopefully have another day to live and breathe and enjoy God’s blessings upon our lives. Take the disappointments in stride, knowing that God is working all things together for you if you love God (Romans 8:28).

FORGET-ME NOTS by Gail Leaming Correc on While I have been taking it easy and watching TV, it has fascinated me on all these new expressions to say so we don’t hurt anyones feelings. The latest one is the commercial that shows a mother throwing her arm across someone in the front seat to save them. It called the action maternal technical reaction. I had always called it a mother’s instinctive safety move. These are a few that Webster never heard of. Manholes have been renamed utility holes so as not to offend women. Blackboards are called chalkboards so as not to offend African-Americans. People who can’t hear are no longer deaf. They are hearing impaired and people who can’t see are no longer blind but are visually impaired. So do we call a bald man follically impaired? Political correctness is constantly morphing into dark maze of nonsense. The stupidest thing for correctness is the ACLU trying to get all the crosses removed from different public places so as not to offend anyone. How about offending people like me who believe in God? If we fall for this rubbish to be politically correct our nation should stand up straight and refuse. Speaking of standing, the other day at the Freedom Fest we were parked on the north side of the cemetery when the National anthem begin to play. I got out of the car and stood and looked up and down both sides of us and no one else made their children stand nor did they. How very sad. Clea said the crowd stood where she was and that made me feel a little better. I wonder if this comes from taking the pledge out of schools and having parents that do not teach their children how important our country is. Stand Up America! VOTE!!! We finally have our rental ready to rent. It was so bad that we had considered it a goner. But luck would have it we found a very nice hard working
couple who cleaned and painted and repaired it a a very reasonable price. They are Melissa and Travis Stone from Pittsburg. If you need someone, their numbers are 620-8752233 or 620-404-9871. If you need a house to rent or a diesel pick up, call me at 417-849-9200. Carol McVey is better after her last surgery and stroke. Carl Sheets had good luck on his latest eye surgery. Don Sheets is having shoulder surgery on Monday by the same doctor that fixed my arm. Clea Kleeman’s family have been spending their spare time picking up walnuts but still have time to run the 5Ks. It is easy to spot Louis in the paper because he is tall and has a beard. My cousin, Evelyn Gasper, has a birthday on the first so Happy Birthday. We went to Greenfield to watch Howard Bennett and Paul Wilkerson play at a church there. Also, there were Terry Johnson on the banjo, Philip Shimp on guitar, mandolin and fiddle. We also heard Calvin Yount and Bob Kitsmiller sing and Mrs C.C. McLemore sign two songs. One was my favorite His Eye Is on the Sparrow. Many others but I don't know their names. I went to the Grannie Chicks Saturday to listen to Tristen Winchell, Terry Johnson and Joe Smith. At half time Taylon Winchell played. Bob Novak sang along with several others. All in all, there is some good talent there. Our waitress, Shonda, had a terrible accident this past week with her hand and a wood splitter. Hope she is doing better. Shonda we all miss you. Ron has gotten two little patches disc and my garden and I have mowed three yards this week so we are doing a little work. Russ Leaming is pretty sick. Spent two days in the hospital but they couldn't find out what was wrong. Has fever and vomiting. They sent him home to get well. Our health care is the pits sometimes. I guess since he checked out that
he had no ebola they didn't bother worrying about him. Mrs. McGuire brought over the decorations and books for the Alumni Ban-
quet so I better get to work. Hear that Dorothy? Don't forget to get hold of me to let me know you are coming. It would be appreciated...

Legals... Sample Ballot Continued
the beaming parents; Dave & Jennifer "Jones" Davis of Everton. Congratulations! Former GHS graduate, Wayne Moody, is happy to announce the arrival of a new granddaughter, Kelby Blake. This would also be a great grandchild of Lynn "Moody" Jack. I want to extend sympathy to the family of Sherry Fury who passed away last Monday from a gunshot wound earlier in the week. Please keep this family in your prayers for they have some difficult days ahead of them. Also sympathy goes out to the family of Leon Beasley, 55, who was found in his home last week after suffering a heart attack. Leon was a 1977 GHS graduate and leaves behind his wife,
Christine & son, Jared who was the apple of his eye. Leon grew up in the Arcola area and was good friends with both my brothers and shared a lot of meals at our table. He will be dearly missed. Well, the new WalMart opened its doors last Wednesday in Mt.Vernon and I don't think it has slowed down yet. Rick & I went down and checked it out Friday night and it was just like a family reunion. Saw lots of people from Dade County there shopping. Had a good long visit with John & Carrie Olsen of Everton. We enjoyed supper first at the Red Barn & Grill and then went to Wally World to walk off our huge supper. Mother & I opened our garage sale on H Hwy for the final time
this year. It was such beautiful weather we thought we best not pass it up. Got rid of some more stuff but not near enough so I guess we will be donating a lot to some local charities. I know Stormy will be glad to have his garage back. Saturday was such a gorgeous day that several horse riders took advantage and went riding. Rick went with Richard & Tammy McMasters & Patty Killingsworth to Stockton for the day and they just about wore him to a frazzle. I don't think he will be riding that long again for some time. He barely had the energy to get in the truck & go to Everton with me. I know several horse riders camped at the Hulston Mill this weekend with Debbie Fearnow & her family. Saturday night, a large crowd attended the Everton Ranch Rodeo put on by Scott Countryman and the Everton Saddle Club free of charge. It was the best entertainment we had had in a long time. They had some really rank livestock and the cowboys earned every penny they got. I know they really slept well that night and so did the young mutt busting kids. Wade Jones & Roper Gray were the official top little riders. They had their arm up in the air just like they were suppose to and Wade didn't let us forget either. These little ones are so much fun to watch and little Julian Rowe thought he wanted to ride too until he got on then the tears began to roll. But after they got him off, he decided it wasn't so bad & wanted back on. He done really well tell Lesia Jones scared him to death and then he really went to boo whoing. I told her we were going to turn her in for child abuse. Haha Mean old Lesia!! Brian White was one lucky cowboy when his horse reared up and fell
over backwards on top of him. But luckily he wasn't hurt and I'm sure Sunday morning he was stiff and sore. Hope you are okay, Brian! The top team of the night was: Cedar Creek Boys with Zach Daniel, Justin Barns, Willie Guy & Jeremy Swaggerty. Tied for 2nd place were the White's Painting and Whitesell Cattle Co. Riding for White's were: Dusty Jones, Joel Gray, Brian White & Zach Daniel. Riding for Whitesell were: Chester Hawks, Joel Gray, Zach Daniel & Willy Guy. As you can see some of these guys rode for several different teams so you know they were tired. These cowboys give it there all when they are out there and I'm telling you they really burn up the calories. My hat goes out to them all. I want to congratulate Joel Gray on getting to keep the Top Hand award for another year!! We were glad to have Todd Berry stop by and visit with us and Leon & Tina. He entertained us very well during breaks. Sunday, we had a little work day at Mom & Dad's and got their guttering cleaned out. Mom & I fed Scotty Hargis and Jason Cooper for doing the good deed along with Dad & Rick who got to eat, too. Keep second grade Greenfield Elementary teacher Mrs. Saxe & her family in our prayers over the loss of her husband last Friday. A good crowd attended the singing at the Backwoods Restaurant Saturday night. Everyone I spoke to had a good time. Wasn't it a beautiful weekend. We best be enjoying them because I know they won't last for much longer. See ya next week.
