Dade County Soil and Water Conservation Districts Internship Submitted by Dee Glenn

The Soil and Water Conservation Program (SWCP) is funded by a one-tenth-of-one-percent, Parks, Soils and Water sales tax approved by voters.

The SWCP administers funds received by the tax for a voluntary program to agricultural landowners through Soil and Water Conservation Districts (SWCD) which provide technical and financial assistance.

Financial assistance can provide up to 75 percent cost-share for landowners to install conservation practices on agricultural land to control soil erosion and protect water quality.

Since establishment of the sales tax in 1984,

the program has helped to conserve and assure the continued productivity of Missouri’s soil and water resources, saving an estimated 175 million tons of soil through Fiscal Year 2014.

SWCP Internship Overview Funding for a summer internship program is available at the Dade County SWCD from May 1, 2015 to September 1, 2015.

Student interns will gain work experience in a hands-on learning environment that will promote personal and growth professional while mentoring with Dade County SWCD board of supervisors and staff, and conservation partners.

Specific job duties,

work schedule and hourly pay will be determined by the local SWCD board.

The internship may focus on technical training of planning and design of conservation practices to reduce soil erosion and improve water quality.

The internship may also focus on office operations and managerial duties to efficiently provide cost-share financial assistance to landowners.

Each intern may work with their higher education institute as needed to receive college credit for your participation in the internship.

Applicant Eligibility Applicants must be a higher education (college, technical university, school, etc.) student

within any degree major.

The intern cannot be a high school senior transitioning to a higher education institution regardless of college credits earned in high school or cannot graduate from a higher education institution before the end of the internship.

An intern does not have to reside in the county where the internship is located.

Internship Contact Information Please bring your resume to the Dade County SWCD office 124 S. Hwy 160, Greenfield, MO 65661 or contact the office at 417-637-5993 Ext 105, Dee Glenn for more information or e-mail address.

Please have your resume in the office by April 1, 2015.

I look forward to the next one!

Also, as promised, here's a link to the "Cops for Kids" Bass Tourney on Table Rock, from which we receive half the proceeds.

We are grateful to have been brought into this long-standing tournament 2 years ago as beneficiaries, and I'm

very interested in helping them grow this event.

In reality, the proceeds from this tourney are less than half the amount that your banquet generates for CatchA-Dream, but I think there are many ways to help the tourney organizers ratchet the overall proceeds to higher levels.

The Children's Smile Center, with which we share the proceeds, is a very worthwhile endeavor, and I think that working with them and their local connections we

can help grow this event to its true potential.

The tourney organizers have never really placed a major focus on sponsorships and truecharitable focus, so we have great opportunity to forge new waters. http://copsforkidstournament.com/tournament/

your Social Security number and changing your name, go to www.socialsecurity.gov/ssnumber.

SECOND BASE You will need Social Security numbers for your children if you want to claim them as dependents on your tax return. In most cases, parents request a Social Security number for their newborn child at the hospital when applying for a birth certificate. If you didn’t apply for a number for your child then, you can apply at your local Social Security office or by mail.

Claiming your dependents will maximize your tax refund or minimize any amount you owe. To learn more, read our online publication, Social Security Numbers For

Children, available at www.socialsecurity.gov/ pubs.

THIRD BASE (Bases loaded) If you receive Social Security benefits, you need to pay federal taxes on some of your benefits if your total income, including Social Security and all of your other taxable income, is $25,000 or more, and you file federal taxes as an individual.

Married couples filing joint returns need to pay federal taxes on income of $32,000 or more. To learn more about taxes and your Social Security benefits, go to www.socialsecurity.gov/planners/taxe s.htm.

CLEANUP HITTER: Now that you’re working hard and earning Social Security cred-

its, you can check your Social Security Statement online. Doing so will ensure that you have all your bases covered for the years you’ve worked.

You can open or access your personal my Social Security account at www.socialsecurity.gov/ myaccount.

A GRAND SLAM: If you own a small business, Social Security has a free electronic filing option that allows you to prepare and submit W-2s for your employees at www.socialsecurity.gov/ employer. Registering online gives you freedom from paper forms and it’s free, fast, and secure.

Follow these tips, and cover all your bases. To learn more about Social Security, visit www.socialsecurity.gov./plan-

Editor’s note: This was shared

by Eldon Skinner, American Family Insurance, Greenfield.

Eldon, I want to say THANK YOU once again for the great job that you and your committee do with the banquet Saturday night, and especially for the very supportive focus on Catch-A-Dream.

I am constantly amazed and humbled by the way that people (like you!) embrace this thing that we call Catch-ADream.

Community Health And Wellness Meeting

It’s colder than …

Submitted by Vince Crunk

The next meeting of the Greenfield Area Chamber of Commerce will be April 7 at the Dade County Senior Citizens Center, 51 N. Allison, Greenfield, at 11:30 a.m.

All are welcome to attend.

There is no shortage of “It’s colder than …” sayings but many of them are not suitable for this community newspaper. But in Everton, there are a couple of really cold places (but that shouldn’t be!)

Jennifer Miller teaches history in junior high and high school at Everton. It is unlikely that anybody told her in college education classes that her classroom temperatures might reach down into the 50’s or that she would have snow on the inside of her classroom’s window sills. Immersion is good for learning but should students have to feel as cold as Washington and his men did crossing the Delaware in order to learn about that part of America’s history?

“On windy days, we get drafts. If it’s cold, kids bring in blankets,” she says. This is Miller’s 4th year teaching at Everton. She describes an un-

The next Community Health and Wellness Meeting will be Friday, March 20, at 10 a.m. in the Barry-Lawrence Regional Library located at 206 W. Water Street in Mt. Vernon.

The topic is part of the Healthy Body Series, entitled “Meal Planning, Shopping, Label Reading.”

The meeting is free and open to the public.

Refreshments will be served.

expected condition in her often very cold classroom; “Snow came in twice last year!”

It is hard for kids to pay attention when they are cold. Freshman, Samuel Gateley, told us, “We are more focused on trying to get warm.”

Freshman, Andi Montgomery, described how they put space heaters up and then set fans near them to move the warmer air around. Most students have learned

not to sit by the windows if at all possible.

Just down the hall is Mr. Kimbrell’s science room. So far the coldest temperature recorded in there is 50 degrees. This year the school boarded up the windows to help the room stay warmer.

The average temperature is up by 10 degrees. Now, however, it looks more like a boarded up house, rather than the classroom it is.

One of the major proj-

ects on the April 7, Proposition 1 Bond Issue list, is replacing those old exterior windows. The cost for this component alone is estimated to be $140,000. But the larger overall school project takes in much more than that. It will include installing some insulated walls, removing some asbestos panels in the old elementary school, installing drop ceilings and insulation.

Miller added that having the very high ceilcreates some ings acoustic issues, often making it hard to hear.

The insulated drop ceilings will help three-fold; acoustics, lighting, insulation.

The single biggestticket item is a new HVAC system for all classrooms. This alone has a price tag of more than $400,000. It will be quieter and energy efficient. The school used more than 24,000 gallons of propane for heating last year; thankfully this winter has not been too

bad. Savings achieved in future heating seasons will help with an already squeaky tight operating budget. School hallways and the gymnasium will be included in this HVAC project, too. If you’ve ever sat in the gym during a warmer part of the year (graduation perhaps?), you know how toasty it can get in there!

So on April 7, Everton voters will be asked to approve allowing the District to borrow up to $855,000 and raise property taxes accordingly, in order to pay for the improvements noted above and more.

Once Mrs. Miller had warmed up she had this to add, “We are doing great things inside our building. We have great kids. Imagine what we could do if we nurtured our building and could take care of it.”

Next week, we’ll tell you about some of the great things those kids have been doing – even in the cold!

day kick off event, Meek’s will offer more sales and fun as the Grand ReOpening Celebration continues with free popcorn and soda all week long.

Store specials include low prices on live goods, tools and more. Dog-Ear Placer Grade cedar fence pickets will be on sale for only $1.99 each, customers will save $10 on Deck Correct tint base just $26.99 a gallon. They can get 6’ fiberglass step ladders for only $39.99— a savings of $35. Live goods of all kinds will be on sale, including flowers, vegetables and other plants. Apollo landscape pavers will be $1 each, a high power pressure washer for only $249 (a $50 savings), will also be on sale along with many more great products.

The Greenfield and Buffalo Grand Re-Opening events will highlight each store’s upgrade, their new look and how they are reorganized to better accommodate customers. Additional checkout stations have been added plus several departments and product lines have been expanded.

David Mawhiney (manager at the Greenfield Meek’s) and Jerry Doty (manager of the Buffalo Meek’s) are both looking forward to showing off their new stores and feel the Grand ReOpening events will be a

fun way to do that.

Happenings at Main Street Baptist Keep Smiling

Main Street Congregation met at 9:30 for Sunday School then adjourned to the sanctuary at 10:30 for worship services. The choir and praise team led us in singing “How Great is our God.” Rodney’s message was taken from Exodus 8:1-10 titled “One More Night With The Frogs.”

1. The frogs may not leave tomorrow. Sometimes we think that if we ignore our problems they will go away by themselves, but that is not true.

2. Something worse may come in place of the frogs. this was true in the case of Pharaoh, (next came the lice). It is also true with us.

3. Tomorrow may never come. Proverbs 27:1 says “Boast not thyself of tomorrow”.

4. Finally, God’s patience with man will run out. Genesis 6:3 “My spirit will not always strive with man”. Have you been putting off trusting Jesus? John 3:36.

A. Admit that you are a sinner. Romans 3:23

B. Believe that Jesus died for your sins. Romans 5:8 C. Call upon the name of the Lord. Romans 10:13 Here are some frogs or sins that the Bible mentions that people often put off dealing with. Adultery, abusing others, boastful spirit, bad habits, cheating, disrespectful toward parents, envy, hate, jealousy, lying, lack of prayer, stealing, sexual sins, vindictive and greed.

The ladies W.O.M.

will be having Missions night March 22 at 6:00 p.m. We will emphasize the Missions we do in our church. There will be a spaghetti supper provided, with a dessert auction following.

Remember our weekly activities. Quote from Charles Swindall: We have become a generation of people who worship our work, who work at our play, and who play at our worship.

I found these words of wisdom in the daily devotional book ‘Hope for Each Day’ by Billy Graham: ‘Therefore I live for today-Certain of finding at sunrise Guidance and strength for the way.

Power for each moment of weakness, Hope for each moment of pain, Comfort for every sorrow, Sunshine and Joy

after rain!”

-anonymous There’s a lot of truth in these words as you think about them. We endure so much in our lives.

One moment we are so ‘happy’ and other moments we face ‘disasters’.

We need to speak out; get the ‘nitty-gritty’ out of us to experience a lifetime of joy again. I don’t know what you are going through. May Jesus give you the ‘grace’ needed for each day that you encounter!

Have a great day!

and I had, I wrote this blank verse poem as a tribute to men and women who had been through "life is tough" times while in the armed services, but who now continue to serve when "life is good".

TOWN SMALL SATURDAY MORNING This morning we wake and remember it's one of those Saturdays the Legion folks serve an all-you-can-eat breakfast at the local Post hall.

With appetites building, we climb into our truck to drive the six blocks, where we pull up and park, soon smell the aroma of coffee and sausage.

We enter, shake hands

with some veteran friends, and pay them five dollars for each of our meals.

A smiling, attractive young woman, a wife husband lost parts of both legs in Iraq, leads us to the counter where food is lined up-there's sausage and gravy, of course scrambled eggs, big bowl of brown biscuits, tall stack of pancakes, an urn of black coffee and pitchers of juice.

We fill up our plates and head to a table where neighbors soon see us and beckon to sit.

Between bites we visit and talk about crops, find out who's been sick and how the kids are.

There's Mary who lives just north of our house, surrounded by family who spent the night there.

It's quite plain to see that we're all really blessed, not only with breakfast but neighborly love.

Since leaving that Hall, how greatly I admire these ones who served our country in war, in peace still serve their town this Saturday morn.

As do most churches, the people of Sharon Baptist Church want to pattern our lives after the One who said of Himself: "For the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many." (Mark 10:45)

We are hosting a Deacon Training event, sponsored by Ozark Prairie Baptist Association, on Thursday, March 19, at 6:30PM. The Biblical meaning of deacon is "servant", and the purpose of the meeting will be training, led by Steve Patterson of Joplin, on the deacon's servant role in our churches and communities.

Then, on Friday, April 10, George and Cathy Chinn will be special guests of Sharon.

These North American Mission Board missionaries are with Mississippi River Ministry, based in Kentucky, but serving eight states in the river

valley. There will be a carry-in meal at 6PM, served by our church, followed by the Chinn's sharing with us how they are attempting to confront poverty and to impact the spiritual needs of that area. Several in the Sharon congregation will be donating various items for these missionaries to use in their ministry to that needy area.

We welcome all interested people to meet with us for both the meal and the time with the missionaries.

Our building is located five miles east of Greenfield on Highway 160.

News From Sharon Baptist Church

In the town where I live, I occasionally spot a vehicle that has this decal on the rear window: "Life is Good".

It is wonderful to be able to make that statement, because life is tough for some people, and perhaps there are times in all our lives when that is our experience.

One reason that many of us can enjoy our present lives is because of the sacrifices that others have made for us.

Several months ago, after one of those "Life is Good" mornings my wife

Happy Birthday to Lora Keck of Ash Grove.

My Kim turned the big 60 on Thursday the 12th.

He is taking it pretty good. What choice do we have.

On Friday, I worked half a day; met Kim, Abby and Jacob and we headed to Kansas to the Judd bull sale. We spent Friday night in a motel there. Got up the next morning and after breakfast, headed to the Judd Farm.

Dade County was well represented as we ran into Joel Gray, Chris Daniel, Frankie Boucher, Carl Carlin, Royce and Conita Vandegrift. I believe 7-8 bulls were brought back to Dade County.

We had a good time and never saw so many FAT beautiful bulls.

They had been groomed well and very gentle.

They sold around 287 bulls and it averaged around a bull a minute. If you wanted it, you better be quick. I was afraid to scratch my head for fear I would have gotten a bull. Made it home, safe and sound.

Up Sunday morning;

Kim and Jacob went to get the bull they bought and ended up buying another one and came home and sold one of our bulls. They were knee deep in bulls all day.

Thanks to Joel Gray for hauling ours home and to Frankie Boucher for holding it for the night.

Kelbey and I went to church and we had lunch afterwards. Trying out new recipes for the ladies retreat. The men enjoyed it and hope we tty out more new recipes.

Kelbey and Asa Bowles have been running around trying to pick stuff out for the house and getting bids, etc. More work than they realized. It will be worth it when it is all done.

On Wednesday night, I stopped by Aunt Lucille Vandegrift’s and visited for awhile. With the time change, didn’t realize I had stayed that long.

Kim called and thought I had troubles. We had a good visit.

On Thursday, Lynetta Leeper and Linda Coble spent the day with their mother, Betty Vandegrift.

Lynetta was on spring break. They got to go

through Kelbey’s and Asa’s new house, drove around. I had classes so I didn’t get to join in on the fun.

I did meet the girls in Ash Grove after work and we got to visit. We can get pretty crazy when we are together. I just wished everyone enjoyed being with their families as much as we do. We are blessed.

On Friday morning, Dwight Steeley, Paul Clabough and Bill Jones enjoyed breakfast at the Hangar.

Paul had gotten a good report, so it is time for him to start getting out. Dwight is the driver and gets them where they need to go. Bill was really excited to get to try out the Hangar. They can check that off their bucket list. Now we will see if they are getting ready to do some skydiving the next time they go.

Ha!!

On Thursday, I stayed in late and did some running around.

Kim had fixed a pot of hominy chili to take to the coon hunter meeting and his mother fixed him a pineapple upside down

cake to take to help celebrate his birthday. I told him I thought about having a surprise party, but I did that on his 40th and he didn’t play the game too well. So, he never gets another surprise party. I call him the party pooper.

I stopped by Tammy Garver’s house and visited with her for awhile.

She is still glowing from her Florida trip to see her son, Brandon.

Grandma Betty Vandegrift was so happy to see Wade and Chloe one afternoon. They had came into That Place with mommy, Melinda, to get some ice cream.

Mom said they went running back to her and she got lots of loving. She says great grandchildren are even more special.

I heard there was a huge crowd at Nadine and Dwain Hughes anniversary party. Kim and I had planned on going and by the time we got home, messed with the bulls, etc. That evening, we sat down and I picked up the paper and saw the picture. Kim was not happy that we both forgot. Wishing them

many more happy years together.

Our deepest sympathy to all who have lost loved ones and to those suffering with health issues. I continue to thank God everyday that I am able to bounce out of bed and do what I do. I know my Kim wishes I would slow down. Ha!! That is still not going to keep me from making those honey-do list. I tell him the busier I am, the less time I have to write on my honey-do list.

This has been a long week for me as all my providers were out on spring break with their children, so I have been in some type of classes all week. I needed toothpicks to keep my eyes open. I am not one to sit for very long so this was hard for me.

Well, my sister-inlaw, Betty Vandegrift, is enjoying some time at home. Her hospital sold and the new people came in and did away with some jobs and her job was one of them. So she will enjoy some time at home until she hits the pavement to find a new one.

Doug will be ready to get her back to work. He is used to having the house to himself all day and now she is there and will be thinking of all the things that needs to be done since she is at home. Poor Doug. I do give lessons on the right kind of honey-do list.

Not too many at a time as it will overwhelm them and we can’t do that.

The old timers tournament starts tonight at Greenfield. My Dustin is sad that he can’t play, but he is helping Melinda and they will cheer everyone on.

One of Asa Bowles’ buddies that he worked with from North Dakota was down on Thursday.

Asa, I believe, had welded him a bed for his truck. They had a great time.

Carol Jones enjoyed doing some running around with Patsy Summerfield and Anita Bridges. I sure hope these ladies don’t get into any sort of trouble.

I want to congratulate the Walnut Grove Lady Tigers on winning Class 1 Girls State Championship for the 3rd year in a row in Columbia Saturday. It was a close and chair biting game to the bitter end. But the Lady Tigers never gave up and won in the last few seconds of the game 48-45 over Naylor. Way to go Tigers!!! They beat out Southwest Thursday night 54-38 to make it to the Championship game.

Last Monday, Uncle Winton Hargis had to be rushed back to the hospital. He was dehydrated & had a urinary tract infection. Spent a few days in the hospital but is now back to the Lockwood Nursing Home where he can rebuild his strength.

We wish him a speedy recovery.

Last Tuesday was a men's day out for Drexel Atkisson, Richard McMasters and Rick Baker.

They all got their horses shod and then stopped back at the Red Barn & Grill in Mt. Vernon for a good late lunch. They sure didn't leave there hungry.

Last Wednesday, Mom & I enjoyed Oakley White's last Grandparents Day at Walnut Grove. He is a 6th grader this year and so next year will move up to the Jr. High. We enjoyed donuts before the singing program began and then off to their classrooms where I found out I'm not smarter than a 6th grader, which I already knew. Haha.

Then, we got to see all the artistic abilities the students have which is a lot. Their artwork was on display thru out the halls and I'm saying some were really good. Hopefully some of them are going on to school with an art scholarship. Mom & I both were really impressed.

Then, Mom & I went on into Springfield for lunch and to get Mom some new storm doors.

Rick had to go to Branson last week for xrays on his back & hips at the Branson Veterans Clinic. Haven't got the results back yet.

I understand we are going to have a new baby boy in the Hargis clan.

Madi Stiles found out her little bundle of joy is going to be a boy.

Rick & I enjoyed

lunch at the Lockwood old bowling alley one day last week and it was delicious. We will definitely be going back.

I had a good visit with Lynette Leeper and Linda Coble last week in at K & P Flea Market. I was giving Linda a hard time about the little store she is running at Ash Grove. Told her she needed longer hours. Ten to two doesn't give you much time to shop. Mom & I will be going very soon to check it out but it will have to be Wednesday thru Saturday cause that’s the only days they are open.

If you haven't been in K & P Flea Market you need to stop and check it out. Madge has been helping Perry spruce the place up and she has done a fabulous job.

Looking good, Madge!

Rick talked to Debbie McCoy Friday night to see how her sister, Shawna Small, came thru surgery on Friday at the cancer center. All went well and they got the two tumors off her hip and hopefully things will be looking up for her.

Shawna is from Ash Grove and has been fighting cancer for some time. We wish her a speedy recovery.

Just found out Steve Lasater had been in the hospital a couple of weeks ago with a bad infection in his head. He was hospitalized for 4 days and then had to go back twice a day for intravenous IV's for several more days. He got released from his doctor

last week and we hope all is good.

There was a huge crowd of family & friends at the memorial for MJ Montez last Saturday at the Main Street Baptist Church. A lot of his classmates came & showed their support for the family. MJ was way too young to leave this world but that isn't for us to judge. I want to extend sympathy to his family and anyone who has lost a loved one.

Well the Old Timers Tournament in Greenfield Saturday was a huge success again this year. Mom & I attended the games Friday night and most all day Saturday. We even got Aunt Carol to come with us on Friday and she surprised me with a big bag of homemade caramel corn which I love. Thanks.

We got in on the tail end of the girls Champion game which was a close one. As the buzzer rang Emelia Daniel made a basket to win the game 49-48.

Outstanding ladies!!

For the 3rd year running, Mike Vaughn's team won the Championship game. Hopefully Cletis will have a writeup and picture for you.

All the games were really evenly matched and there was only a couple of games that was a run away. Colt's team won 1 out of 3 games and as Derek Glenn says there is always next year.

So I guess they better keep practicing.

We did get to see lots and lots of little ones

which entertain us, too. I was really glad to get to see Darcy Parrish's little boy, Easton. But there were plenty more to google at, too.

Met Cody McDowell's wife, Sara and their little boys, Maddox & Hudson. Talk about some lady killers coming on. You guys better watch your little girls.

Paul & Cheri Walters opened their home Saturday afternoon for Colt's team to relax, eat and play marbles between games. All in all everyone had a fun filled weekend with just a little bit of soreness. Haha Sara Fast-Greenstreet stopped in at the games to say hello to Mom & me and she has the cutest little girl. Sara is the daughter of Beth West. It was really good to see and visit with her.

I know several in the area took their kids to Springfield this weekend to the Jurassic Quest.

Saw lots of pictures and heard good & bad reviews. I know my little Lucy enjoyed it and cousin, Julian Rowe, wasn't too happy with one of the dinosaurs trying to get him. Knowing PaPa Gordan, he probably paid them to scare poor Julian.

Sunday, Rick's folks and son, James, came over and we met them at the Backwoods for lunch.

Had a nice meal and a good visit.

Hope everyone got out and enjoyed the beautiful weekend.

ticipated in worship.

Grandparents were then treated to a turkey dinner. Students enjoyed having their grandparents join us.

Trudell News by Blanche Trudell

The Trudell farm has been busy this week. Friday night, Joe and I went to Parkville, Missouri, so we would be there in time to watch two of our great granddaughters play volleyball.

Each girl played four games. Michelle Dvorak’s team got the Silver Medal in the PAC., Classic 14 Gold Series and Alexandra’s team was third in her pool (10 Year olds).

Alex served 18 balls in a row, making 17 points and the 18th went out of bounds, not that I am proud of my great grandchildren or nothing.

My son from Topeka, Kansas, his wife, Cheryl and son, Mike Wiss, came to watch as did my granddaughter, Jennifer and her husband, Mike MacCormack and their three children, Gabriella, Elyssa and Izabella.

They drove all the

way from Cedar Rapids, Iowa. We celebrated 4 of their birthdays while we watched the games, not .that the family is proud.

Their Uncle Jim Wiss and his wife, Denise, their daughter, Elizabeth Rush and husband, Miles and two daughters, Grace and Katie Jo Rush, were there, too. It was a wonderful day. A tiring one for old great grandparents. Joe and I were tired when we got home.

Sunday, we had a

guest speaker, Byron Robison, from Springfield.

He showed us a film on youth protection during Sunday School, then he gave the morning message and then we shared a pot luck dinner. As usual, we had enough for three times the people that was there. Joe and I took communion to two families that were shutins.

We went to see Guy Henry, a 95 year old World War II Veteran and

his wife, Joyce. They were glad to see us. We took them spaghetti and meat balls, and carrot cake, Their son, Albert, lives across the street so I invited him to come over and eat with his parents.

On the way home, we stopped and visited with Charles Edwards, Sr., his wife, Laura Edwards and daughter, Sarah. Charles Junior, their son, had left so we missed him. We got to meet their new German Shepherd dog.

He’s getting to be a good watch dog. I guess I am partial to that breed. I seem to get along with most dogs.

Let us remember to pray for all those who are sick, or have lost loved ones, in the nursing homes, those who are homeless, those in the service serving our country.

Have a wonderful year! And God Bless America!

What a change in the weather this week. Beautiful days and don’t we appreciate them.

Saturday was such a nice day. Paul and Patty went trout fishing at Roaring River. He fished too much surely, because that night he took sick and had to miss work two days. His grandpa Jones showed him how to fish and now he enjoys fishing.

I dressed for church Sunday, but didn’t have a way. I didn’t know Paul was sick; they take me.

A nice crowd attended Peg Renfro’s services Monday afternoon at the United Methodist Church. Our sympathies to her family.

Tuesday, I was not feeling the best but Elaine brightened my day. She came with two meals from Kim’s Breadbasket so we could have lunch together.

What a blessing!

Wednesday afternoon, friend, Joanne B., came for a really nice visit. She’s able to get out now after having a little set back.

My little neighbor boy, Nathan, went back today (Thursday) to Columbia for a check up on his ears. The healing process seems okay.

He is such a sweet kid. They are really good neighbors.

Madge T. will soon finish this round of treatments in Joplin. She’s still at Good Shepherd.

Rick Hefling must like the hospital!! I inquired as to how he was doing following knee repair and was told after having gall bladder attacks he had to have that surgery first. Rick, you and Nyla are missed at church.

Don Mabee’s recovery is not fast enough for him but I think his recovery is good.

Don Jay got some fingers to close to the saw and you know what that can do.

Be patient, Don. I noticed in the Springfield paper where a Kameron Bundy was named MVP on one of Drury’s basketball games.

He scored 27 points, includ-

ing seven in the final 19 seconds. Kameron is the grandson of my neighbor two houses down, Bill Delzer and the late Julie Delzer.

Quotes from a church newsletter: (1) Many Things Are Opened By Mistake, But None So Frequent As The Mouth.

(2). When You Flee Temptation, Be Sure You Don’t Leave A Forwarding Address.

(3). Remember When You Are Arguing With A Fool, He Is Doing The Same.

I’m late but I hope you had a nice St. Patrick’s Day.

This weather is just beautiful and Clea Kleeman, Evelyn Gasper and myself picked about the best two days of travel to Oklahoma City.

What wonderful friends I have out there and they made my traveling companions feel so welcome.

Our first stop was at the UAW office to do some business but ended up staying for an hour or more with two great gals, Debbie and Tiffany. They made us feel so at home and I sure miss them from my stay out there.

They suggested that we go to Bricktown and take the canal ride and see the new bronze statues of the Land Run which has been added since I had been on the boat with Ron. It is the longest run of statues in the United States and still has 35 feet to be added. The artist is on the buckboard and the dog that is chasing the stagecoach is his blue heeler.

Evelyn took a picture of the statues with the tallest building in Oklahoma (the 8th tallest west of the Mississippi) in the back ground.

Quite impressive.

The first night, we ate supper with Carol and

Phillip York who were great hosts and sent brownies with us to snack on for the next day. They wanted us to stay the night but we already had a hotel.

The next day was a quick visit with the gang at the YMCA but I didn’t get to see Robert Pitt who was the guy who taught me the Miranbula. Maybe next time, Robert.

Then, Carol and Jean K. met us for lunch. I could sit and listen to Jean for days.

Her memories and stories are of her times of growing up (she is 85 young in two weeks). She was also my go to for advice when I lived out there.

I hope I can be as active and going as she is. She is a retired English teacher, was a sub for the Y in water exercise until this year and they wanted her to teach full time but she didn’t want to be tied down... She also is a judge for flower arrangement and horticulture.

Now, Carol was my historian of Oklahoma. She is going to let me know when Red Earth Days are. I would love to take Clea and Kamala to see it.

Carol was my banker as I didn’t want to change my

banking account. She cashed all my checks out there.

Evelyn, Kamala, Anastazia, and Addyson went to SpringerHill last Tuesday with me and was a fun evening. We learned a lot about the Blues music.

Addy loves music and was really enjoying the guitar. She has a little walker that has a piano layout for the feet and she loves playing it.

Then, on Friday night, I was at the Milford Church for the music there and then on Saturday more music at Red Oak 2. When it gets a little warmer, maybe Addy can travel some with me and love all music. I can’t remember a time that we didn’t have music in our house or some of us singing when we were growing up.

There is a shop hop coming up and I still have a trip to Arkansas and Illinois planned when time opens up for me.

As it is, I have to stay close until they come in and finish my floors. Still batching here but they say they are coming back on Monday.

Hooray.

Oh yes, I squeezed in a birthday party for Peggy Foreste on Saturday after-

noon. What a large family she has and so many were there to show their love for her. I only knew the first generation and some of the second. When I got to the great- greats I got lost.

Peggy was my tax lady for years as well as my next door neighbor when our kids were little.

Oh yes, this was my bit of wisdom given to me this week. (You learn a lot at Cookys). Do you know why nudism and liberalism are the same? Because in your mind it looks good but in real life, not so much!

RANDOM THOUGHTS My brain is like the Bermuda Triangle. Information goes in and then it is never found again.

I really think tossing and turning at night should be considered an exercise.

Some people just need a sympatheic pat on the head with a hammer.

When I get old, I am going to move in with my kids, hog the computer, pay no bills, eat all of the food, trash the house and when asked to clean pitch a fit like it is killing me.

The hour we lost when daylight savings time started was the one hour when I was planning on going to the gym.

FROM DD IN LOCKWOOD Wouldn't it be great if we could put ourselves in the dryer for 10 minutes and come out wrinkle free and 2 sizes smaller.

Give a man a fish and he has food for a day.

Teach a man to fish and he has to buy bamboo rods graphite reels, line, monofilament waders, tackle boxes, worms, spinners, gore tex

hats, fish finder radar, a boat, trailer, cooler and six packs.

MY TURN MISC The Stockton, Missouri, School Board voted last week to go a 4-day school week. They join Pierce City and Miller who will try the new schedule this coming school year.

Don't forget the Fish and Bids at the Lockwood Lutheran school this Saturday night, March 21.

Good food and lots of bargins to bid on.

LOOKIN’ BACK In March of 1959, the Midwest Athletic Conference sent a letter to the Lockwood Schools saying that home basketball games in Lockwood could not be played at the old Lockwood gym due to a low ceiling, lack of seating and inadequate dressing rooms.They advised that LHS play home games in Golden City, Miller or Greenfield.

Lockwood residents in 1961 then passed a bond issue to build the present high school and it opened in April of 1962.

Two Stolen Vehicles Recovered From Stockton Lake QUESTIONS? Contact Editor Marlene DeClue at 417-637-2712 or greenfieldvedettepublisher@mchsi.com

by Leon Dwerlkotte, Sheriff, Cedar County The Cedar County Sheriff Office on Monday, March 9th, 2015, received information of two stolen vehicles submerged under the water which was located in Stockton Lake at the Master’s Boat Ramp.

Chief Deputy Jason Johnson, Deputy Clay Jeffries, and Trooper Rice with the Missouri Highway Patrol responded to the Master’s ramp. Upon arrival they located the two vehicles approximately 15 feet to the south

of the boat ramp underneath the water line.

On Tuesday, March 10th, 2015, deputies and troopers and the Corp of Engineer’s Stanton Rains located the vehicles with a side scan sonar. We requested assistance from

Matt Plymate to dive and help with the recovery of both vehicles.

The first vehicle was a white 2013 Ford Mustang which had been stolen from Bill Grant Ford in Bolivar, Missouri on or about November 27th,

2014, that belonged to an Edwin Boyd.

The second vehicle was a Blue 1994 Ford Mustang Convertible. In checking the M.I.A.C. Bulletins found the vehicle did belong to a Shawn B. Eastham which reported

the Mustang stolen around October 28th, 2000, from the Battlefield Mall in Springfield, Missouri. In contacting Eastham, he stated that his insurance Allstate had paid him for the car.
