Lockwood Schools Host Meeting On Possible 4-Day School Week By Bob Jackson Correspondent
The Lockwood school adminstration and school board held a second public meeting on Sunday January 18, 2015, at the high school library to receive public input from school patrons on a proposed plan to go to a 4day school week in school year 2015-2016. Over 40 parents, grandparents, teachers and others were at the informational meeting. The first meeting was January 15, 2015. A flyer had been sent home to parents of all students in the district. The proposal was brought about by the decreased funding for rural schools by the State of Missouri, drop in enrollment and new educational requirements from DESE. Adminstrators at Lockwood explained that no decision has been reached but explained the pros and cons of the issue. Reasons To Go To 4-Day Week 1. Savings of money from utility costs, transportion costs of fewer bus trips, less substitute teacher, less cost of non certified staff. 2. No decrease in student achievement.
About forty showed up for the informational meeting about going to a 4-day school week in Lockwood.
3. Increase in attendance. 4. Teacher morale and work satisfaction improvement and retention of quality teachers.
Questions from parents were: 1. Longer school days harder on children grades 1 thru 3. 2. Will bus rides be longer? 3. What about child care on Mondays? 4. Why are rural schools not funded from the state like bigger schools? The 4-day school week is one option that Lockwood is looking at with other options being dropping programs on the educational side, dropping some athletic programs, asking for a property tax increase or
consolidating with neighboring school districts. The Everton, Missouri, school district is in its second year of a 4-day school week and school patrons have accepted the change. The Miller, Missouri, school district is exploring the idea and will be hosting a public meeting on the idea tonight Thursday January 22, 2015. Another area school, Pierce City has had public meetings on the issue and may vote this month on the issue. The Lockwood school adminstration and school board welcome your input into this change. Comments, questions and concerns should be addressed to Bill Rogers, Superintendent of

He was born on August 18, 1935 in Los Angeles, California to Kurt Edger and Lilly (Enman) Apel.

Larry Wayne Spain, 59, passed from this life, at his family farm near South Greenfield, on Thursday, January 15, 2015. He was born on January 27, 1955 in Springfield, Missouri. Larry was a graduate of Lockwood High School and Southwest Baptist University. He was a life-long resident of the Lockwood community, and was a deacon at Kings Point Baptist Church, where he attended his entire life. Larry married Brenda Leeper on December 6, 1980. To this union was born four children: Elizabeth Brown and her husband, Clint, of Miller, Missouri; Sarah Niehoff and her husband, Willie Guy, of South Greenfield, Missouri; Joshua Spain and his wife Jordan of South Greenfield, Missouri; and Isaac Spain of the home. Larry has six grandchildren: Colton and Hayden Brown, Alyvia and Khloe Niehoff,
Tucker and Lilly Spain, whom he loved and adored. He leaves behind many nieces and nephews and a host of friends. He is the son of Howard Gene and Betty Spain of South Greenfield. Larry has two sisters, Leesa Eldred and her husband, Todd, of South Greenfield, and Terrie Spain of Golden City. He was preceded in death by his brother, Bobby Spain, his mother-in-law, Wanda Leeper and nephew Wade Payne. Larry worked at S&H Farm Supply in Lockwood for 28 years as a parts manager. He was a rancher and avid cowboy. Larry loved God, his family and the land. His desire for God was evident by his service to God and by serving others. He loved music and often played his guitar and sang songs of praise. With one foot on earth and the other in heaven, Larry’s transition was an easy one. He will be sorely
missed by his family, friends and fellow church members. Heaven has received a great man! Funeral services were held at 2:00 p.m. on Sunday, January 18, 2015, in Kings Point Baptist Church. Burial followed in Kings Point Cemetery. The family received friends on Saturday evening from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. in Kings Point Baptist Church.

School Board Recognition Week To Be Observed January 25-31 Submitted by Bill Rogers, Superintendent Lockwood Schools
Missourians benefit every day from the dedicated energies and countless hours devoted by a group of more than 3,600 men and women in every community across the state. These public servants are elected by local constituents and do not receive compensation for their tireless efforts. These men and women are the local school board members of Missouri. During the week of January 25-31, communities across the state will
honor the dedicated service of local boards of education during School Board Recognition Week, as proclaimed by Governor Jay Nixon. The goal is to build awareness and understanding of the important function an elected board of education plays in communities and schools. All Missouri citizens are asked to recognize the important contributions of these men and women and focus attention on the vital role these public officials play in the education of Missouri’s children. School Board Recog-
nition Week is sponsored by the Missouri School Boards’ Association. MSBA is a private, notfor-profit organization that exists to help school boards succeed. Lockwood R-1 Board members include President Jeff Nentrup, VicePresident Larry Coose, and Treasurer Kirk Neil, members Willie Stefan, Lori Byrnes, Tina Schnelle, and Adam Whitesell. The Lockwood R-1 District is thankful for the Board’s hard work and efforts to benefit our students and staff. Thank you Board!

I want to wish Nick & Renae Brown a belated 30th Anniversary wish. They celebrated on January 12th. Congratulations to new parents: Randall & Kim "Richter" Holman on the arrival of a big boy, Rylan, on January 12th. He tipped the scales at 9 lbs. 3.5 oz. and was welcomed home by big sisters, Allison & Grace Roseman. Also, Suetta Litle has a new great-grandson, Nathaniel Austin Stafford, who arrived December 23. Austin weighed 8 lbs., 1 oz. and was 21 inches long. Proud parents are Cody & Stacey Stafford of Ozark and sister, Katelyn, who will be 4 in March, loves her little brother. Austin has been having a few health issues since he arrived so Grandma Teresa Logan has been helping them out a lot. We hope he is
better soon. We have had a lot of deaths this past week and I want to extend sympathy to all those who have lost loved ones. A very good friend of mine, Kurt Apel, Jr., 79, passed away in Desert Hot Springs, California, where he and his wife, Mary Ann, had moved several years ago for health reasons. They will be having a memorial for Kurt here in the spring. Was shocked to hear of the death of Larry Spain, 59, who died of an apparent heart attack right after loading cattle out Thursday morning. Larry and his wife, Brenda, just celebrated 35 years of marriage on December 6th. Larry leaves behind his wife and 4 children with a host of family & friends. Also, didn't know Marjorie Sliman had passed away until I read it in the Lockwood news last week. Marjorie and I use to visit up at K & P Flea Market a lot. I also read in the Springfield paper where
Jerry Hull, 81, of Greenfield passed away. Jerry's son, Gary, was in my class in elementary school for a while. I want to congratulate Jake Tullock on being crowned King at the Marionville Homecoming last week. Jake attended high school in Greenfield last year. Congratulations to Kris Huchteman on his engagement to Sarah Nesmith. Wishing them a long and happy life together. The Greenfield girls won 3rd place over Liberal, 50-45, at the Golden City Tournament last week. In boys play, Dadeville Bearcats took 2nd place against Jasper in the Golden City Tournament. The Dadeville Cheerleaders received the Cheer Award. Congratulations to everyone!! Roy Beeson is in his 4th musical at the Springfield Little Theatre in Disney's My Son Pinocchio Jr. The play is to run the last two weekends in February so mark your
calendars now. Roy is the son of Alan & Lynn Beeson of Pennsboro. The Garth Brooks concert in Tulsa this past weekend was well attended with some of our locals: Laureen Steeley, April Brown, Shanna Toler, Kenneth Slone, Carl & Lindsey Carlin, Asa & Kelbey Bowles and Kim & Lesia Jones. I don't know if any of them knew the others were there since it was a huge crowd but they all reported it was a fabulous show. Thursday night, I went to the 7th & 8th grade boys games against Stockton. They were both good games but we lost. In the 8th grade game, Brayton Ipock was high man with 14 points, Baily Baker 9, Caden Sims 6, Seth Trask 2 & Gage Burns 1. Violet Campbell visited with Mom & me one day last week and brought us some wonderful stew for lunch. We were to have cornbread, too, but the pot holder slipped off the iron skillet and burnt my hand and I
dropped the whole skillet in the floor. Needless to say I done a doosey on my hand but worse broke Mom's iron skillet. I didn't know they would break but I guess after many years of use they will. Also, Suetta Litle stopped by one day and Carol Jones has been over several times. Mom has come down with a horrible cold & cough. Hopefully she will have a better week this week. Last Saturday, Rick & I went to the grand kids ballgames. Mayce & Jayce Baker both played at Willard and then we all went into Springfield to watch Skyler Baker play college ball for the Baptist Bible College Patriots. They took on Manhattan, Kansas, Christian College but couldn't ever get ahead and took a loss 76-68. What a beautiful weekend, so get out this week and enjoy it. Next week could be totally different!!
News is scarce when one isn’t out in public. I have been housebound since the first Sunday of the month, the 7th. I was dressed to go to church Sunday then due to weather forecast decided it wise to stay home. Tomorrow (Friday) a friend will take me to Greenfield. Son, J.L. will be here this weekend. I told
him I wanted to take a ride since the weather is to be nice. Today, Thursday, is a beautiful cool day. Our snow was only a trace, all went to the east of us. I checked on C. W. McGuire, he is now in Omaha, Nebraska, for observation and treatments. He is improving, good news!
Kevin Stump is now in his Arkansas home. His progress is not as good as we would like. Continue to keep these in your prayers and add Joanne B and Madge T to your prayers as they are dealing with health issues, and I’m sure there are others. Monday my Oxford cleaning girl was here,
besides cleaning she did some stops for me, how nice it is to have that help. Thats why some of us ‘older’ people can continue living in our homes, and good neighbors also to help. My neighbors, Amy, is waiting for foot surgery. Her foot was injured while in service of our country. Due to the
pain she gave up her job in Springfield. The following is some eating habits in the fifties: 1) Pasta had not been invented. It was macaroni or spaghetti. 2) A takeaway was a mathematical problem. 3) Pizza? Sounds like a leaning tower somewhere.
4) Bananas and oranges only appeared at Christmas time. 5) Chicken didn’t have fingers in those days. 6) None of us had heard of yogurt. 7) Healthy food consisted of anything edible. Do you remember those days? I do. Have a good week.
January has started out COLD this year. It has been below zero a couple of times and I am getting to where I don’t like the cold. Well, it will be spring before long and we will be out planting the garden. We were blessed with a guest speaker last Sunday. Robert Casino was
here from Pittsburg, Kansas, and he brought two friends with him. He is such a great speaker, and a wonderful person to be around. You always feel GOD’S spirit when he speaks. We enjoyed pot luck together. Sunday after the pot luck dinner, Joe and I left for Independence, Mis-
souri, and on the way we stopped at Raymore, Missouri, to see Thurston Stafford, my 94-year-old brother-in-law, of 72 years. We found his room; he is in rehab after falling and breaking his shoulder. We got to see our nephew and his wife, Dale and Penny Stafford. It was good to visit as we
don’t see much of each other. Life is so busy for us all. We then went to eat at Golden Corral, before going to see my son and wife, Jim and Denice Wiss. When we got there, our two great-granddaughters, 8-year-old Grace and 3-year-old Katie Joe Rush were there. We got to play with them until their parents, Elizabeth and Miles Rush, came with pizza for all to eat. We stayed up until late and talked with the family, and played with the girls and their parents. Dee showed us how to find our genealogy and a lot of new stuff on the computer before going to bed late. Monday, we got up and went to breakfast at Hardee’s where Joe likes their biscuits and gravy then on to the funeral
home for the funeral of Joe’s cousin, 91-year-old Virgil Clark. We visited with the family and his 87-year-old wife ,Vera Clark. She is such a sweet person. We didn’t get to visit with her much and she wanted us to come to Excelsior Springs to visit. We promised to come see her more often. We got to see a couple of Joe’s nieces, Denice Jackman, and Marilyn Belche, his cousins and their families, Louise Gresaber and family, and many more cousins. It was good to see all of them, but there were some of the family we met for the first time as more children have been born into the family. After the graveside service, we went to Golden Corral, where we met a family there celebrating their mother’s 81st birthday. We talked
with them about the olden days and solved all the world’s problems, before coming home. Tuesday, we enjoyed the company of Nancy Shanahan over dinner and played cards. That is when I found out that Nancy had to go to Springfield and have a tooth surgically removed. I didn’t want her to go by herself so I took her to Springfield. That way if she would have a problem she wouldn’t be alone. We had a great time talking. We really enjoyed each other’s company. Let us remember to pray for all those who are sick, or have lost loved ones, in the nursing homes, in the service serving our country. Have a wonderful year! And God Bless America!

Lockwood Ministerial Alliance Food Pantry
Happenings at Main Street Baptist
by Sara Johnston
The hours of operation of the Food Pantry will be Wednesdays from noon until 2:00 p.m. and on Fridays from 3:00 5:00 p.m. There will be someone there during those times to assist you. If you have any questions you can contact any of the churches in Lockwood.
How does one help another person? People can encourage one another in very positive ways. You are not alone; people do care. We can struggle with this and that and wonder how we get out of the situations we are in. Sometimes people just need a ‘smile’ from others to get through the day. I had a lot of ‘baggage’ to let go of, too. When I accepted Jesus into my heart years ago things turned around for me in such a marvelous way. I can converse with Him anytime because He hears me when I am sad or joyful. You don’t know what people are going through. They may smile on the
outside but inside they are very down hearted. There’s a song I sing in church, ‘People Need The Lord’, and here are some of the words: ‘Every day they pass me by; I can see it in their eyes; empty people filled with care headed who knows where. On they go through private pain living fear to fear; laughter hides their silent cries only Jesus hears’. When I need the Holy Bible daily; it blesses me so much and can bless you also. So for now, have a great day and keep smiling.

Main Street gathered for Sunday School at 9:30 then adjourned at 10:45 to the sanctuary for worship services. The choir led the congregation in singing “He keeps me singing.” Special music was also by the choir. Rodney’s sermon was on : Messengers, Ministers, Misfits, and Mess-Ups of the Bible. Part 1: The Adam’s Family: Mankind is the capstone of Creation: Gen. 1:26-27. Like God, Men are immortal: Gen.2:7. Man has been given a body, soul and spirit. Man has received the ability to make choices: Gen 2:15-17. Man was created to be in a relationship with God: Gen 2:18. Being ‘favorite” does not mean “no responsibility.” Warnings are not intended by God
to be hurtful. Man messed up. The blame game begins. The women you gave me 3:12 The serpent tricked me. 3:13. The cost to Adam and Eve. 3:14-19. The cost to you and me: Romans 6:23. Man’s hope and God’s grace. God’s redemption at Christ’s expense. romans 5:8, 2 Cor. 5:18-19, Romans 5:21. You will never experience joy and peace if, like Adam and Eve, you are trying to put human solutions on God sized problems. Sin is costly. Jesus paid the price. Therefore for us, Grace is free. it’s hard to have Victory over sin when one is not connected to a group of caring people. We invite you to become a part of what God is doing right here at Main Street as the Lord is
leading you. The Men’s Wild Game Supper was well attended with lots of food and fellowship.. Services were cancelled Sunday night due to the bad weather. Our weekly activities include Bible Drill, Team Kids, RAs and GAs, Mission Friends, Book and Bible Study with prayer. Sunday night , January 25, we will be having a Children’s Home Birthday Celebration. We will have a Carry-In Dinner at 6:00 p.m. celebrating the month of our birthday and anniversary with a guest speaker from the Children’s Home to follow. Come celebrate with us.

Glad Tidings Assembly of Greenfield will be hosting the Community Gospel Sing On Friday, January 23rd, at 6 p.m. Everyone is invited to attend. The program is made up of local talent right here in the Dade County area. If you sing or know of someone or group that sings, please come prepared with a couple of songs or you can call Pastor Dykes at 637-2988. Everyone in the Com-
munity is invited to attend. A New Year brings some changes and we want you to be aware of them. We will no longer be serving dinner. We would ask that those who can bring some type of finger food. This could be sandwiches, chips, dips, fresh veggies, cookies, brownies, cheese and crackers, etc. You are not obligated to bring a thing. The singing will begin at 6:00 p.m. and then we will have inter-
mission at 7:00 p.m. This is when we will take 45 minutes for food and fellowship. Then we will finish up the singing for the evening. We will continue to have donation buckets placed around to help out some of our community services. We will give all donations to the Ministerial Alliance from this community sing.

Dade County Area Retired Teachers Meet Dade County Area Retired Teachers and School Personnel met January 14 with Sheriff Max Huffman as speaker. Because state and federal prisons often release non-violent drug offenders early, many local law enforcement groups have developed their own drug court systems. Drug court is a means for drug users to overcome their habits. The participant must be willing to make an effort to be responsible to follow required steps of the program. Part of the funding comes from the state. There is currently funding for six people in Dade County. The program needs volunteers to help participants obtain GEDs. Community service chairperson reported that during 2014, members performed 2,097 hours of volunteer activities and donated 144 food items and eight dollars cash. The state office has
indicated that a few more MRTA members have not renewed their 2015 state memberships. A final reminder will go out soon. Thirty-five dollars (less than 10 cents per day) is a bargain for insurance to protect your pension. Some state legislatures would like to control PSRS/PEERS. It takes everyone to keep that from ever happening. Those who haven’t paid local dues are encouraged to send $5 to treasurer Marti Ruark 5787 Lawrence 1155, Miller, MO. 65707. Within the next three weeks, the directory will be printed. We would like to have everyone included. Legislative day will be February 18. Those interested in boarding the bus in Mt. Vernon or Springfield must make reservations by contacting Gail Saunders. The cost is $10. The next meeting will be February 11, also at Kim’s Breadbasket.

led to a search of the vehicle. Located in the rear of the vehicle, concealed among personal items, troopers discovered several bundles of marijuana totaling 15 pounds. Also located within the vehicle was a small amount of heroin. The driver of the vehicle, Andrew M. Burt, 28, Los Angeles, California, was arrested for two charges of possession of a controlled substance. Burt was transported to the Jasper County Jail, in Carthage, Missouri. The charges for which Andrew M. Burt was arrested are mere accusations and are not evidence of guilt. Evidence in support of the charges must be presented before a court of competent jurisdiction whose duty it is to determine guilt or innocence.
Traffic Stop In Jasper County Results In Seizure Of Marijuana And Heroin On January 12, 2015, a Missouri State Highway Patrol trooper stopped the driver of a Volvo station wagon on Interstate 44 east of Joplin, Missouri, in Jasper County, for a traffic violation. The stop and subsequent investigation resulted in the discovery of marijuana, heroin, and the arrest of one person. At approximately 1:05 p.m., the driver of a 1999 Volvo V70 station wagon, bearing California registration was stopped on Interstate 44 near the 17-mile marker for exceeding the speed limit.

At this point most of us are aware of the bait and switch have Aetna/Coventry pulled on customers. If you have recently signed up for a plan under Aetna/Coventry and lost access to your local pharmacy, please read this. The Centers for Medicaid and Medicare (CMS) has announced that incorrect pharmacy network information was provided during open enrollment. Pharmacies that were listed as available on several of
Aetna/Coventry plans were later removed after the enrollment period. This bait and switch tactic has been brought to the attention of CMS and are forcing they Aetna/Coventry to allow those affected to re-enroll in alternate plans for a short time. Currently there are four plans that have been identified as being affected. Please compare your BIN number to the following list: Aetna Medicare Rx Premier (PDP) BIN: 610502
Aetna Medicare Rx Saver (PDP) BIN: 610502 First Health Part D Premier Plus (PDP) BIN: 610014 First Health Part D Value Plus (PDP) BIN: 610014 This matter is far from settled so we encourage all of those who think they may have been affected to contact their local pharmacy or CMS directly at 1-800-Medicare (633-4227). The final day for reenrollment has not yet been set however we encourage everyone to find
a new plan before February 1st to avoid any further disruptions in using their normal pharmacy. Failure to do so may result in you being denied coverage at your local pharmacy for the month of February. We also advise during the enrollment process to take notes and ask questions from multiple sources. Misinformation has been the name of the game for insurance companies this year, arm yourself with accurate information and avoid any further frustration.

To register, call the Dade County MU Extension Center at (417) 637-2112. Missouri law requires all purchasers and users of
“Restricted-Use” pesticides to attend a training session to be certified for a private applicators license.

City of Greenfield Demolished Condemned Property By Marlene DeClue Vedette Publisher Photos Courtesy of Chief Tim Larkin

After the property was condemned, the owner decided against repairs and signed the property over to the city. Also located on the lot and set to be demolished is mobile home trailer. The demolition took place early Tuesday, January 20, morning.
Luff Selected Pennington Seed’s Employee of Month Submitted by Linda Perkin Publications/Training Pennington Seed, Inc.
Brenda Luff is the Employee of the Month for December at Pennington Seed, Inc. and was nominated by Mark Robertson, Small Package/Plant manager, who wrote in his nomination: “Brenda has always been a quiet employee and you don’t always notice the people who are quiet. She has added to her work experience and job skills by helping work at the buying station for several years at Stark City during fescue harvest. She has also cross-trained in the Quality Control department of Triple Crown. This cross-training has proven valuable in the last few weeks with staffing pressures. “It is always good for an individual as well as good for the company when anyone is willing to learn new skills and take on different responsibilities that help make
us stronger. This is the only way that we can move forward as a department and as a company. Often we hear people say, ‘It’s not my job,’ but here at Pennington many of our employees wear different hats depending on the season and that is what built the company and has made it successful.” Brenda came to Pennington Seed in September 2002. She was working at Dunbrooke in
www.greenfieldvedette.com
El Dorado Springs and knew she was going to be laid off soon. Her mother, Lucille Bowen, was employed at Pennington Seed and worked in Small Package as a tray former operator. Lucille put in a good word for Brenda to Wayne Stump and Brenda was hired and quickly trained by her mother to operate the tray former. Brenda said when she started working here she
didn’t know much, but she “has had good teachers.” Now she is capable of running the bag and sew machine, operating the dump bins, processing seed samples for Quality Control in the Room, and Treater knows the workings of the tray formers inside and out. An interesting note is that Brenda has trained two of her own daughters, Erica Luff and Michelle Shanks, on the tray former just as her mother trained her. Erica Luff began working in Small Package through Randstad in December 2013 and now works second shift with her mother. Knowing how to fix the equipment and what to do is the best part of Brenda’s job. “Mike Shanks has trained me and I feel confident I can handle anything that might happen,” said Brenda. She also said she likes the job security and the good people she works with.
Brenda grew up in Stockton. Her grandparents also lived in Stockton and her parents still live there. She now resides in Lockwood with husband, Mike Shanks. She has three adult children: Billy, Natalie, and Erica. Billy and wife, Candy, have 3 children of their own: Micheal, Clayton and Maria. Natalie and husband, Joey, have two boys: Nicholas and Lucus. Brenda counts Mike Shanks’ children and grandchildren as her own and they include: Teresa and daughter Michayla; Christopher and wife, Maria and son, Wyatt with another baby due in February; and Michelle and husband, Alex, have daughter, Alexis and son, Ray. For hobbies, Brenda includes sewing, making quilts and deer hunting. She got a ten pointer last year! Congratulations to Brenda on this well-deserved honor.
Letter To The Editor
I wonder what the real reason is in the ads about shingles? In all of my 80 plus years, I have not known even of one relative or friend that had shingles. I worked in a nursing home for 20 years and not one person had shingles. The ad says, 1 in 3 people will get the shingles. By that statement, I should have known quite a few victims. What’s their game in all these ads of warning? I don’t believe Chicken Pox has anything to do with it. The game must have a financial gain of some sorts. Time will tell. They like to scare people, that’s for sure. I’m not saying shingles doesn’t exist! Maxine Miller Lockwood, MO.
