Dablemont Celebrates 100th Birthday

Thursday

Vol. 150, No. 40 $1.00

By Cletis McConnell Vedette Reporter

Velma Dablemont, a resident at the Ash Grove Healthcare Facility, celebrated her 100th birthday at 2 p.m. Friday, March 20, with many of her friends and relatives. She has been a resident there since February, 2012, moving from the Bolivar area. Velma was born March 20, 1915, to Augusta and Joe Lawrence in Franklin County, Missouri. She has two sisters and one brother. They attended the Frisco Heights School in Moselle, Missouri, near St. Louis, through the eighth grade. Velma recalls walking two miles to school, having to climb fences and watching little pigs along the way. She says they let the kids out of school room one day to see their first airplane. This plane had two wings and kept circling around. What a

sight that was! Velma tells that her mother did sewing on her sewing machine and sometimes would sew all night, making clothes for them to wear to school. She said they had horses to ride, plow gar-

dens, etc. Her favorite was a pet named Charlie. She later married Norten Dablemont and were married for several years until his death in 2013. Norten was a guide on the Gasconade River.

She enjoyed taking float trips on rivers and lakes with Norten. Their travels took them to Alaska, Canada, the east coast, Mexico, Texas and fishing in the bayou of the Mississippi. She said she loved to eat

shrimp. Congratulations, Velma, on your 100th birthday and for being chosen as resident of the month at Ash Grove Healthcare Facility.

tect a person as long as they do not exceed their level of training. The scene of a traffic crash poses other dangers to those involved and those rendering assistance. Passing motorists often are paying attention to the traffic crash and can put those involved with the scene at risk of being struck. The presence of hazardous materials, the terrain, and

weather conditions are additional dangers. When law enforcement officers arrive they will need to see involved parties' driver’s licenses, registration, and proof of insurance. It is also a good idea for the involved parties to exchange information in order to help them when reporting the crash to their insurance companies. Remember: A report

must be made if there is property damage in excess of $500 dollars, if there is injury, or if there is a fatality. Involvement in a traffic crash is traumatic no matter how serious the crash. By following the law and these guidelines, we can make the scene safer for those involved as well as emergency services personnel and other motorists.

You Have Just Been Involved In A Traffic Crash! Now What? Submitted by Sergeant Jason M. Pace Public Information and Education Oﬃcer Missouri State Highway Patrol-Troop D

No one wakes up and says, “I think I will be involved in a traffic crash today.” Yet, in 2013, there were 139,294 crashes reported in the state of Missouri. There were 757 people killed and 49,532 people injured in 2013. Even with these crash numbers, most people still don’t think they can be involved in a traffic crash. Typically, after someone is involved in a crash the question they ask is, “Now, what do I do?” The traffic crash needs to be reported as soon as possible for several reasons. Responding emergency personnel need know the location, number of vehicles involved, type of damage, and the extent of any injuries. This information is vital to insure the proper equipment and personnel are sent to the scene.

Other helpful information would include whether there is anyone trapped in the vehicle or the presence of fire. Remember: Never approach a vehicle if there are downed power lines; report that information as well. Missouri law requires persons involved in traffic crashes to make a reasonable effort to move their vehicles, so they do not block the flow of traffic. However, if there are injuries or a fatality involved in the crash the vehicles should not be moved. In traffic crashes involving injury or a fatality a reasonable effort should be made to keep the scene from becoming any worse. When traffic is obstructed and begins to backup there is the risk of secondary crashes at the same location. When there are injuries involved in a traffic crash the occupants should not be moved as this could cause further injury. It is better to leave injured occupants in their

vehicles and let responding emergency personnel handle the situation as they have the proper equipment. Only when death or the risk of further injury is present should you consider efforts to act on your own. If you choose to do so make sure you consider your own safety. Do you have rubber gloves or a CPR mask? The “Good Samaritan” laws will pro-

Out On A Ledge For 911

devices. This would replace any current 911 funding sources. It would equalize costs among landline and wireless users, as landline subscribers have been paying a 911 tax for many years while wireless consumers have not. Each county would be able to choose whether to stay with their current funding source or go to a vote to implement this new third option. At this time, Dade County will continue funding their 911 center via a sales tax which was voted in by residents in 2002. This bill does not affect how Dade County funds their 911 center, but can provide additional revenue sources for possible equipment and technology upgrades in the future via grants or low interest loans from a State Grant Pool created

by the wireless device fund. 911 in Missouri is in a critical state as 17 counties have no 911 center. If you call 911 in one of those counties, your call will go through, but it will ring in on a traditional desktop telephone, not a 911 phone. Additionally, some counties enhanced 911 have meaning they can locate you if you call on a traditional land line telephone, but they do not have the capability to locate you if you call on a wireless device. Most Missourians do not know that they may not get the same service when travelling across the state, and that there are many areas that do not have the technology to locate them when dialing 911 from a cell phone. Many counties still collect the 911 surcharge on

land line telephones, but funding is rapidly decreasing as more and more people do away with those land line telephones. Some counties have switched to a sales tax to support 911 in the face of dwindling resources. This bill would create a State Grant Pool that would be used to provide matching grants to implement 911 service in counties that do not currently have 911 centers, and would also provide for a potential funding source for other counties for upgrading equipment, implementing new technology such as mapping and addressing, provide Emergency Medical Dispatch (EMD) training, and increased accessibility to 911 for disabled persons. By creating these additional 911 capabilities, we move

toward the goal of consistent levels of 911 service state-wide. People travelling through our state or heading to our many recreational areas could soon have the same ability to call 911 for help as they do at home. Organizations supporting this bill include Missouri Fire Chiefs, Northland Fire Chiefs, Western Missouri Fire Chiefs, Missouri Valley Division of the International Association Fire Chiefs, Heart of America Fire Chiefs, Vernon County Ambulance, Missouri Police Chief’s Association, Missouri Sheriff’s Association, Missouri Emergency Medical Services Association, Missouri Ambulance Association, Ambulance District Association of Missouri, Poison Control Center, Vernon County Ambulance District, Missouri 911 Directors Association , Missouri Association of Public Safety Communications Officials, Missouri Chapter of the Emergency National Number Association , Missouri Association of Counties, Missouri Municipal League, City of Kansas City, Missouri, Jackson County, Missouri, City of Nevada, Missouri National Association of Social Workers, Missouri Farm Bureau , Deaf Empowerment Awareness Foundation, Inc. and Missouri Emergency Nurses AssociaRepresentative tion.

Cheryl Konarski, Dispatch Supervisor with Dade County Emergency Services and treasurer of MOAPCO (Missouri Association of Public Safety Communications Officials) and Steve Hoskins, Interoperability Systems Manager with Kansas City PD and vice-president of MOAPCO met with Representative Mike Kelley, Republican, representing the 127th District, regarding 911 funding in the State of Missouri. HB 714 sponsored by Rep. Lauer (R-Blue Springs) works to address 911 funding and consolidation in Missouri. With this bill counties will have a new funding option to fund 911 at their county level. Currently, counties can fund 911 via a land line levy (190.305 RSMo) a wireline fee, up to 15 percent per device which is voted upon locally. This is a disappearing funding source as households move away from landlines to only having wireless devices. The other funding option is a sales tax (190.335 RSMo) which is authorized at the county-level by a local vote, which is the current funding for Dade County. With HB 714, a third option would be created allowing each county to place the issue on a ballot seeking voter approval to place a tax on any device capable of contacting 911. In addition, it will create a sales tax on prepaid wireless

Dade County Emergency Services Recognizes Employee

Submitted by Cheryl Konarski Dispatch Supervisor Training Oﬃcer Dade County Emergency Services

Raymond Harris was recently honored for five years of service with Dade County Emergency Services. Raymond has been a telecommunicator with the center since March of 2010. DCES recognizes employees for their years of service and dedication to the profession of telecommunicator. The hours can be long and stressful but also very rewarding. Raymond continues to serve in his capacity as a telecommunicator which we feel is more of a "calling" than just a job. Raymond was recognized last year as "Telecommunicator of the Year" and continues with the same work ethic that brought him this recognition. Thank you, Raymond, for your years of service and dedication.

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

Main Street Congregation met at 9:30 for Sunday School. We then adjourned to the sanctuary for worship services. The choir let us in singing songs of praises. Rodney’s message was on “The Ministry of a Reality Check”. 2 Timothy 3:10-13. Paul’s letter to Timothy provides a ministry of reality check for his son in the faith. 2 Timothy 3:10. This passage does not apply to so callled shepherds who serve in the ministry in pursuit of a paycheck, it’s for those who seek to live a Godly life. Evil people and imposters will become worse, deceiving and being deceived.

All around us Christian leaders are seeking answers to the questions: Why is our nation falling apart? Why is the church losing influence over culture? Why are more church leaders failing to finish the race well?” There are two dangerous types of people in the church: 1. Unregenerate members. 2. Those called to the ministry and said no to the call of God. Anyone who has been in the ministry as long as Paul has memories of churches or people forever seared into the memory as a place of suffering. But not all suffering is persecution. 1 Peter

2:19-20. Galations 6:7 reminds us “Do not be deceived, God is not mocked: for whatever you sow you will reap also.” The political arm of this nation has been in the impatient atrocites against Christians in Syria at the hands of ISIS. The cultural prominence of the church has not stemmed the tide of moral decay in America, and in the past months, pastors preaching God’s truth have been subpoenaed in Houston, Texas. Paul tells Timothy: “My son you will face persecution.” In fact, all of us who live Godly lives will be persecuted. Ministry is

a mix of fun and frustation, blessings and burdens. The Sunday evening message was “Can someone who commits suicide go to Heaven?” Suicide is a growing crisis among soldiers returning from war and teens. However, it is not a new idea. The desire to end it all was also entertained by Moses 11:14); (Numbers Elizah (1Kings 19) and Jonah (Jonah 4); Saul 1 (Samuel 31:4); Saul’s bearer (1 armor 31:5); Samuel Ahithophel (2 Samuel 17:23); Zimri (1 Kings 16:15-20); Judas (Matthew 27:3-5). Of

those we know at least one, Samson is in heaven. Hebrews 11:32 includes Samson in the great Hall of Faith. Is suicide sin? 1 Corinthians 6: 19-20. Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not on your own: You were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body. Several people from Main Street attended the Ordination Services for Joshua Erisman in Strafford Sunday afternoon. To what person did Paul write two letters? (Timothy)

well-watered and fertile stretch of land. Our prayer is that our church--and yours--are bodies of Christ well-fed by the Word of God, and well-watered by Jesus, the Water of Life. We hope that is your experience if you choose to attend one or more of our Pre-Easter Revival Services. If you visit from another church, we sincerely pray that you and your church will be

blessed through your attendance here. And, if you are a seeker, wanting to know more about this matter of really becoming a follower of Christ, we believe your presence will aid in that search. On Sunday, March 29, at 11AM, the worship time will include special music and congregation songs led by Larry Peak of Dadeville, with the Bible message brought by James Regions of Spring-

field, a former pastor here. That evening at 7 PM, a neighboring church, Liberty Baptist, will bring our worship music, followed by the preaching of their pastor, Rick Sharp. The Monday evening service, on March 30, at 7 PM, will be led by a dedicated team of students from Southwest Baptist University in Bolivar. They are Josh Wingerd, the preacher, from Victorville, California; and

musicians Kati Baker of Idaho Falls, Idaho, and Zach Shelton from Plattsburg, Missouri. Tuesday evening, March 31, we welcome the "Heart Cry" men's quartet from First Baptist Church, Lamar, and their pastor, Robb Hodson, who will preach. On Wednesday, April 1, the evening starts with a pizza supper at 6 PM, followed by a special music presentation at 6:45, led by Bill Sutter of

Just Sharin’ From Sharon Baptist Where did your church get its name? Ours (Sharon Baptist) comes from a fertile area called the Plain of Sharon, south of beautiful Mt. Carmel in Palestine.

Carthage. Then, Andrew Newberry, pastor at Hopewell Baptist Church near Osceola, will bring the message. He is also a former pastor at Sharon. Our goal: a group of people who experience true Biblical revival, which should be the normal Christian life. They are described by the psalmist in 85:6, as "people who rejoice in God"...in His worship, His Word, His ways, His will, and His wisdom.

Life And Leisure

The Senior group of Life and Leisure of Immanuel Lutheran met in the Meeting Room on Sunday, March 15, at 6:00 p.m. for their monthly potluck meal. Hostesses were M/M Cleo Eggerman and Eunice Piepenbrink. Cleo

had a devotion centered on the Scriptural thoughts of Resting on the Lord’s promises and another shorter devotional with the different ways Jesus used His hands and that we too can use our hands for some of the same things.

He closed with prayer. The rest of the evening was spent playing different kinds of games. Around twenty were present. The hosts for April will be M/M Harold Schnelle and Doris Schnelle.

This poem is from ‘Poems of Hope’ by John McLeod Leod. LIFE IS NO BED OF ROSES. Life is no bed of roses For roses have thorns, you see, But handling with care and balance Will protect from injury. All gardens have seasons of beauty Where the flowers of our living grow With colours and shapes aplenty Sweet fragrances to bestow. Life’s flowers need

careful tending For all life needs sun and rain, And Love and Faith unending For Hope to flower again! We pass through many ‘doors’ in our lives. We make many choices; good or bad. How do we keep on track? We strive to do what is right. Our lives have a ‘domino’ affect. We may do things that others notice and think well I can do thar, too. But it may not be the right way. If I filled a jar with words of encouragement written on slips of

paper I think I would write: ‘Smile Today’; ‘Laugh Today’; ‘One Day At A Time, Sweet Jesus; ‘Philippians 4: 13’ (I’ll let you look it up in your Bible). There are numerous words of wisdom that you could fill your jar with. Then pull one slip of paper out to be used for the day and think about it through the day. Fill the jar with ‘positive’ words. The Book of Psalms has many inspiring words of wisdom to lean onto. You may want to include those as well in your jar. Well, have a great day!

Using alternative lending sources can increase the cost of buying an item two to five times. Predatory lending is the practice of charging excessive fees for loans or payment contracts that are not in a consumer’s best interest, often using targeted, aggressive tactics and false claims, or failing to disclose all terms and costs up front. While many lending operations are predatory, most are not. Predatory lenders often target those with low income, minorities, the elderly and the unbanked. On-line lenders are a growing problem and predatory lending is an ever-growing concern.

Doug Scotten, Family Financial Education Specialist with University of Missouri Extension, is holding a free workshop, “When Creditors are Predators.” The workshop will be held on Monday, April 13, 2015, from 6 p.m. until 8 p.m., at the Cedar County Memorial Hospital main

Roger Wishing Mullinux a speedy recovery as he had to have some heart surgery. They have retired to the sunshine in Florida. He has lots of friends praying for a speedy recovery here in the Everton area and we will be praying for Lois as she continues to take care of him until he is fully recovered. On Friday night, Jacob and Abby Jones enjoyed eating supper out with Stacy and Sarah Holland. Braden and Ava were being spoiled by their grandparents, Tom and Crystal Walters. On Friday night, Kim and I enjoyed going to the Greenfield Ole Timers Tournament. We enjoyed some of Jason Summers’ BBQ and got to visit with a lot of different ones, along with being entertained. On Saturday morning, Kelbey and Asa headed to Stockton to look at floor covering, carpet, counter tops and all that fun stuff. Then, she hurried home to meet us. On Saturday morning, Jacob joined us for breakfast and then I got around and went to Abby’s house to do some measuring for the nursery. Kelbey met us and we headed to Springfield for a day of shopping for

the baby’s room. We hit several places. Enjoyed lunch at the Spring Creek Tea House in Ozark. It was a hit for the girls. I had been there before and thought they would enjoy it. After making many stops, we headed home at 7:30 that evening. I am sorry we missed the games at Greenfield, but I understand they had a fun day of fun and the team that won the championship has taken this honor for the past 3 years. They will be waiting for them next year. Dustin was sad he didn’t get to play this year, but he gave Melinda all the moral support he could from his seat in the gym. On Sunday morning, Kim, Lesia, Kelbey and Asa went to church at Liberty. Afterwards, we headed out and met the rest of our children at Jacob’s house along with NaNa Carol Jones. We went to Carthage at the Sirloin Steak House in honor of Kim’s 60th birthday. We had a great meal and all the sunshine helped. Sorry my mother couldn’t go with us. She had not felt real good since Friday; had little virus that her granddaughter nurse, Kelbey, looking after her.

After we got home from eating, we had time to run to the Everton Community Building to Bobby and Laura Moore anniversary party. We were just wondering when the next party was going to be. We all just love Bobby. He continues to be missed so much at the school. The little children are still asking about him. He’s our hero. Got to visit with his mother, Helen Moore, who now lives in Willard and doing good. She has two daughters that live close by so they get to do a lot of running together. That is great. After we got home, I worked outside for awhile and then went in and went through a lot of papers, trashed, put pictures in order. Kim and Jacob were in the bottom working on different things and getting ready to start building new fence. They had Abby driving the ranger around the bottom bringing and taking them stuff. Time to start getting ready for fertilizer, hay season and all that fun stuff. It seems like the time just flies around. Dustin begins another round of his chemo this Monday (16) morning. His children are on spring break so they are going differ-

ent places. Dustin will drive himself on Monday and Tuesday and go on to work. Leon White and Tina are watching them on Wednesday so Melinda can take him; it starts hitting him on Wedneday. Kim will take him on Thursday. I am taking vacation on Friday to keep them. They will have a full week. Suzanne and Eric Steeley joined us for supper on Tuesday night in honor of Eric’s birthday. Kim had promised him a steak supper and he got it. We had a great evening of visiting and celebrating another birthday for Eric. Richard Jones also celebrated his birthday. They share the 18th as their special day. Stanley Jones stopped and visited with Carol Jones one evening last week. He was on his way to Kansas City. Don’t forget to vote; it is right around the corner. They are having a special meeting on March 26 to explain different things to the community. I have heard some say they will vote against it. It sure seems funny that the school was good enough for them and their children and some of their grandchildren, but now they

are against it. I always thought if you didn’t like the school, move away or pay tutition. Notice they didn’t do that either. If the town of Everton doesn’t have a school, there is not much to draw anyone here. The value of your place will also go down. You will pay even more taxes if the school was to close. Think about how much it will cost to bus our children to another school and those schools are going to have to build on to be able to take all the students of Everton. So before you vote NO, better get all the facts. Your taxes might be a lot higher. I wonder Where are your memories of good ole Black and Gold? I don’t have children going there anymore and none of my grandchildren will go there, but I continue to have family members that do. I will vote for it to keep my school going. It also employs several people. You need to step back and think about this. Notice you are still living in the Everton district. Our deepest sympathy to the families of Leanne Clair who passed away after battling cancer. Our thoughts and prayers are with her husband, Tommy and three

daughters. You would always see Leanne sitting in her spot at the Clair’s Quick Trip in Ash Grove. She opened every morning. May God comfort this family during this time. Leanne lost her mother, Twila, to cancer not that long ago. God be with them all. I had heard that Bob Bishop was taken to the hospital, but had not heard any results. Wishing him a speedy recovery. Kim Jones visited in the home of Gayer and Mary Ann Dixon on Wednesday night. Their son was programming Kim’s new dog garman. Thanks to Mary Ann for sending me home some banana nut bread. Kim was eating it on the way home. On Thursday afternoon, I met Abby Jones and we did some more running around and shopping for the baby and house. When I got home, Wade and Chloe were there to greet me as they are spending the night. We plan to go to Springfield on Friday and do some fun stuff. So that is why I am sending my news in early.

I heard the most beautiful song the other night that was written by a Sgt. in the Marines who was in Iraq with his platoon when they were

surrounded and no aid was coming. They were fighting all day and were running out of ammunition. The enemy was so close they

could hear them laughing and waiting them out. The Sgt. told the men there was only one thing to do and that was to pray.

Just when they were about to be over run a very thick fog rolled in from out of nowhere. Off in the distance the men could see someone (they swear it was Christ) and he was waving an American flag. Then, a path was opened and the men walked out just 15 feet from the enemy without being seen. All the men have said that they would never forget the figure or the waving of the stars and stripes or the miracle that happened on that mountain top that day. When the singer finished, there was complete silence. I wish more could have heard it and I had the words of that song. For my 53rd anniversary, my friends were just great at remembering and not wanting me to be alone. Jean and Larry Ehrsam have spent so many anniversaries with us over the years that I know it was hard on them, too. They took me to supper at Bam-boo Gardens. I wonder if they remember that when we moved back from California in the 60s, that they called and wanted to go to Springfield and take us to a Chinese place for cashew chicken. The first ever invented in the USA. Ron didn’t want to go because of all the places in Chinatown in San

Francisco that had ducks hanging in the windows and the flies all over them that he had seen. It took a lot of coaxing from Larry to convince him that this was the place to go eat. Needless to say, he ate a lot over the years after that. While we were there, Elaine Eldred was at Bam-Boo that night, too, with her immediate family celebrating her 98th birthday. They were to have all her grands and greats on Sunday at Lockwood for another celebration. As there were over 90 in that group, it couldn’t be done that night. What a wonderful legacy she has. Carol McVey and Carl Sheets took me to Granny Shaffer’s at noon on the 17th for lunch. As I had started out at 6 thirty that morning to get to Nevada for an eye appointment, my day was pretty full and not much time for being sad. Kamala and Russ tried all day to reach me but I was out of area with my phone most of the time. What a wonderful life to have so many care about me... Or at least keep tabs on me. Dorothy Miller did get hold of me about 10 that morning while I was waiting for my eyes to un-blurr before I started driving again. We had a good visit.

I went to Lockwood on Saturday night for the fish and bids which is always good entertainment and good food. My great nephew, Kolton Kleeman, won a bid on a baby calf which he is pretty proud of. Sunday, Kamala and I went to Stone’s Throw for dinner and the show. Stopped by Lowes to pick out some things for the house. Waiting now for more carpenters but at least I now have a front door. The neighborhood is all praying for Janis Marten who is in Cox at Springfield fighting a flu or something like that. She has finally gotten the breathing tube out but still has the feeding tube in. No visitors as her immune system is at 0. So glad to see Cletis McConnell up and out of the hospital and out taking pictures again. I had been watching the paper to see his name on the photos and had wondered what had happened. Kamala is finishing up her year at Neosho and while there is painting a mural at Dices. I also hear that two of my nephews have joined the service. I wish them many prayers.

Local 4-H Tours Wilson's Greenhouse

The Busy Bee 4-H Gardening Class from Lockwood visited Wilson's Greenhouse on March 20, 2015. Tammy Wilson (pictured) showed us how to plant and then transplant seeds. She also walked us around her many large

greenhouses and showed us all types of vegetable and flower plants. Finally, she let us pick out cabbage, broccoli and cauliflower plants to take home to plant in our own gardens. We had a great time and learned a lot. Thank you, Tammy!

hospital with 3 blood clots around his knee I believe. We wish him a speedy recovery. I also got word that Donald Berry had to have lower back surgery last week due to a cyst and bad infection on his back. We want to wish him a speedy recovery, too. Duke & Tami Atkisson and kids went to Indiana to help grandson, Cash, celebrate his 1st birthday over the weekend. A big time was had by all. Talk about getting a surprise when she reached in her laundry room cabinet, just talk to Sarah Fast-Greenstreet. Sarah found a huge prairie king snake and I mean it was a big one. You know spring is here when you start seeing snakes moving but I sure don't want one in my house. Sarah is the daughter of Beth West. Four young ladies from Everton enjoyed their weekend at the Hotel Sorella Country Club Plaza in Kansas City seeing Adam Levine and Maroon 5 in concert. The lucky ladies were: Kristen & Tayler Limpus,

Heather Harden and Holly Fifer. Don't you know they had a blast. I want to congratulate, Elijah Lasater, on becoming an official FFA air traffic controller. He will be working at the downtown airport in Kansas City, Missouri. I know his parents were very happy to know his last 5 years of hard work has paid off. Way to go, Elijah!! Terry Myers has been having a lot of neck & back trouble. I hope he gets some relief soon. Mom & I had our Saturday night auction & sleep over. We really enjoy this time together and Rick doesn't have to know what all I buy either. Tassy & Aspen White came over after we got home from the auction for a short visit. Tracy, Dalton, & Logan stopped by, too. I think they just like to look thru our purchases and get first pick. HaHa. Then on Sunday, we all get together at Mom's for lunch. I hope this beautiful weather is here to stay. I know I am ready for it.

Liam tipped the scales at 8 lbs., 13.9 oz. and 21 inches long. He will be welcomed home by his 3 brothers, Benjamen 13, Joey 11, Charlie 5 & sister, Reagan 19 months. I do believe they will have their hands full now. Gina is the daughter of the late Randy & Patty (Wooldridge) Nash of Greenfield. Also, Grandma Julie "Wynes" is proud to announce the arrival of her granddaughter, Lucy, who arrived on March 17, 2015, to David & Rachel Bevell. Lucy arrived at 12:01 a.m., tipping the scales at 7 lb 1 oz and 19.5 inches long. She will be welcomed home by big brother, Reed and has a full head of reddish blonde hair just like her Mommy. Another proud Grandma is Linda Crane who has a new grandson in Boulder, Colorado. Augustus Brooks arrived on March 18, 2015, to Aaron & Lindsey Michel. Augustus will be welcomed home by sister, Adelais. I want to send out sympathy to all the families that have lost loved ones recently. I know my

brother, Scotty, lost a dear friend, Troy Richardson, 58, this past week. Was very sorry to hear Leanna Clair, 60, of Ash Grove, lost her battle with cancer. Also, John Hobell, 63, of Everton, had been battling his cancer for about two years and lost the fight last week. We would run into John & Bev at the Cancer Center in Tulsa a lot. Jay, Kathy & Cassidy and Kelly Brown Killingsworth spent spring break on a wonderful cruise and have some really good pictures of the islands they saw. Dawn & Shanna Toler spent spring break on the back of a horse at Falling Waters in Pelsor, Arkansas. The weather couldn't have been better and they really enjoyed the sights they seen. I wonder how many people forgot to wear green last Tuesday for St. Patty's day. Bob Myers, Mom and I spent the day in Springfield seeing Bob's doctor for his check-up which was good. We enjoyed lunch out and the weather was great. Uncle Bob and Rick both ran into C.W. McGuire last week and reported he looked really good. I know he said he was glad to be home. I heard several people went to Silver Dollar City over the weekend. It

would have been nice weather for it. I know the 3 Keithley boys and their parents enjoyed it. Last Friday, Mom, Aunt Carol Jones and I had a girls day out. We went to Republic and visited our little lady friend that we use to take care, Novella Boydston. She is now a resident at the nursing home in Republic. It was good to see her and she seems to be doing pretty good. We then enjoyed a Mexican lunch and then hit some flea markets before stopping to get groceries & our usual Wal-Mart stop. We even found a couple of garage sales. Can't wait for them to get started. After we got home that evening, we went and saw Uncle Winton Hargis at the Lockwood Nursing Home. He was having a bad day that day but since then has been doing better. He rooms with Bobby Bell who has had open heart surgery. He seems to be getting along pretty good. Stopped in and visited with Phyllis Bishop on our way out. Rick's grandson, Jayce Baker, had a little accident on his motorized scooter and chipped his growth plate on his ankle. He is sporting a cast now for the next 6 to 8 weeks. We wish him a speedy recovery. Randy Feasel is in the

Greenfield Elementary Families Discover STEM

Submitted by Anita Allison

On Thursday evening, March 12, 2015, 134 elementary students and their families discovered the world of STEM—Science, Technology, Engineering and Math. As they arrived, families engaged in a variety of engineering activities set up throughout the gym. A few of the favorites were showerhead showdown, domino diving board, let’s communicate, soundproof package, and learning from failure. Following this time of discovery, families were given the opportunity to choose two design challenges. The most popular activities were: Blast Off (design a paper rocket that would be launched from a straw); Mining for Chocolate (extract chocolate chips out of a cookie without destroying the cookie); Brain Saver (design a “helmet” for a raw egg so it would not break when dropped from a height of 10 feet); Hot Chocolate Machine (design, construct, and test a machine made from paper cups that mixes water and hot chocolate powder); Launcher (design a launcher that can propel a cotton ball the farthest); Team Up (design and build a structure using creativity, commu-

This successful event was made possible through of the support of the Greenfield Elementary faculty and staff who assisted in numerous ways—collecting supplies, preparing classrooms, setting up and taking down tables, leading design challenges, registering guests, preparing food and taking pictures. Also, a big ‘Thank You’ goes out to the families who spent the evening learning about STEM and how it is a part our everyday life.

Abbie, also a senior, is homeschooled and cheers for the Lighthouse Christian Athletic Chargers in Springfield, Missouri. The girls met each other and a group of about thirty others from the Midwest in Kansas City where they travelled together to London for a week’s stay. There were over 500 cheerleaders that were performing and were divided into three Cheer groups and one Dance group. These groups were broken up into smaller size and assigned an escort to oversee their trip. The group that Lauren and Abbie were placed in performed a routine to the song “Bounce” by Iggy Azalea. Throughout the course of the parade the girls performed their routine twelve times in front of a crowd of more than a million spectators. The four mile parade route began near Picadilly Cir-

Is it spring yet? Well, the birds are singing like it is, and the calendar says it will be March 20, which is on Friday. Now I hope the weather doesn’t give us another snow or 30 degree weather. We’ve had enough cold weather. Today, Sunday, I had a full and enjoyable day. First I went to Sunday School and church service at the Restoration Church of Jesus Christ, at Maple Grove, which is 3 miles north of Avilla, MO. After church we had a pot luck dinner. I hurried home to the Miller High School where some of the members in my family played in the alumni basketball men’s tournament. Its always fun to watch former ball players coming together to play for fun instead of trying to win for a coach! My son, Steve, still plays on a team. This year they put together two girls teams. Now, they were fun to watch! Actually they played very well. It all seemed to come back for them the longer they played. Some of those ladies are married and have children. My grandson, Chad Gillaspy, is ending his basketball season in Italy, so he and his wife, Kelsey, will be coming home April 2nd. Chad has scored in double figures most of his games. They won their games Sunday 76-61. He scored 15. Kelsey’s parents went to Italy to visit them and do some sight seeing. They all went to Venice and Rome. That was an interesting trip I’m sure.

Besides attending the welcome ceremonies, practices and events, the cheerleaders and their escort groups toured many of London’s largest landmarks: Buckingham Palace and the Changing of the Guard, Westminster and Big Ben, The London Eye, Windsor Castle and the London Tower Bridge just to name a few. Lots of time for sightseeing and even some events just for them included a Disco Cruise on the Thames River, a very special New Years Eve Party and an evening out to see the London Theatre performance of Wicked. This truly was a spectacular trip for these girls and they made many new friendships all over the world. London’s New Year’s Day Parade has evolved into one of the world’s great street spectaculars with up to 10,000 performers from across continents, hundreds of thousands of spectators,

and a ‘live’ TV audience of several hundred million. London’s New Year’s Day Parade’ now regularly attracts a worldwide TV audience of approaching three hundred million, a terrific audience on the streets of London every New Year’s Day of a million spectators, and boasts twice as many participants every year as Macy’s in New York City on Thanksgiving Day! London’s New Year’s Day Parade is now a very major entry in the United Kingdom’s calendar of events. In addition to the London trip, both girls qualified to perform in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York, New York and the Capital One Bowl in Orlando, Florida.

by Darlene Logan ing letters and this West Side News, because I got involved in writing a story for the Hometown Memories Book. It will be out in the fall. I’m anxious to hear what they will name it. My story was accepted for publication. They also asked me to be one of their associate editors. If I get someone to write, I get my name in the front of the book. I have gotton some response already. If you are 60 or over and would like to write about your ‘good ole days’, I have applications. Give me a call, 417452-3401. A lot of people got applications in the mail. Deadline is April 15th. I just heard the states in the East broke a record snowfall with 108 inches. My goodness! I can’t imagine the hardship those people had to endure. I’ll bet they dread the next winter. We all remember here how hard it was getting through our ice storms! Our family was saddened at the death of Gerald Dresslaer recently a long time friend of our family. He also was married to my cousin, Maureen (Owen). Gerald and his mother, Ethel, lived only one fourth mile from us when I was growing up. In fact, Ethel delivered me when I was born (at home), and met the Dr. at the door with me in her arms. The Dr. was a little late! When Gerald and Maureen retired from their jobs in Kansas City, they built a new home place. There was a big crowd at his memorail held at the Christian Church in Milford, Missouri. Have a Happy Easter!

Appreciation and thanks are extended to those who visited her (sometimes more than once), brought her food, delivered mail for her, spoke prayers in her behalf, sent cards, etc. Her pastors, Griffin and Fittje, and therapists: Jane Mayden and Shawn Watson, were especially beneficial in her healing process.

Everton FFA Knowledge Team Wins Area 9 Contest

by Bob Jackson

Teams assigned to the Tiger field are College Diamond, Heights, Golden City, Lockwood, Greenfield, Liberal and Jasper. In track news, Greenfield, Lockwood and Everton will join 18 other Class 1 boys and girls track teams in district events in Willard in May. In 2014 these teams ran at Cass Midway. The Greenfield boys team is the defending Class 1 state champs, but graduated several key athletes and coach Crystal Turner left Greenfield for a better job at Pleasant Hope High School. BASEBALL PREVIEW The Dadeville Bearcats, who won third place in the Class 1 for 2014 seaare pre-season son, ranked in the top 5 as the season begins. They won the Polk County League last season and return key play-

ers. They will play in the Wheatland Halfway Tourney and match up against non league foes of Stockton, Miller, Crane, Pierce City and Lockwood this season. Greenfield won their district last year but then lost to Dadeville in sectional play. They will play all the SRVC teams and compete in the Miller tournament. They may lack depth at pitching to win the SRVC title. Lockwood will go into the season without any seniors on the team. The Tigers will depend on a strong junior and sophmore class for the team to win. They played in the Sarcoxie tournament this week and meet two tough teams, Marionville and Dadeville, next week.

in the Top 12 Individuals. Montgomery and Shanks earned the top two individual scores of the night. The team has worked hard for their achievement. "We've put in a lot of time," stated Carter. "We are excited to keep studying and see what we can do." The FFA Knowledge

Contest is a 100 question test which covers all information found in the 86 pages of the National FFA Manual and four pages of Missouri FFA Facts. FFA members are tested on all of the context including the history, officers, traditions, programs, constitution and by-laws of FFA.

The rush of spring sports is underway with boys baseball, girls softball and boys and girls track meets. All these events are compressed into a 10 week time frame for area schools that also take part in FFA contests, music and choral contests, graduation, proms, etc. and schools must dodge rainouts. Do students have time to go to class? In baseball news, Greenfield will host a Class 1 district baseball tournament at Jerry Rook Field later in May. The six teams assigned to District 6 are Everton, Golden City Greenfield, Lockwood Bronaugh, Sheldon and Lockwood. Dadeville will play in District 7 at Halfway and Miller will be at Liberal in Class 2. Lockwood will host a Class 1 district softball tourney in May 2015.

Last week, we talked about how cold it can get in some of the schoolrooms in Everton but in spite of that, kids are doing some great things! As promised, this week we’ll talk about a few of them. There are just so many and there is only so much space for sharing. Maybe starting with the most recent … The Everton FFA Knowledge Team won 1st in Area on March 17. This is up from a 3rd place last year. Beating every other school in our area. School should be and

is about preparing students for college or to enter the working world as young adults. One opportunity for this is taking dual-credit courses, which means while still in high school, students can also get college credit. This year seven Everton students are taking advantage of this. The Missouri School Improvement Program (MSIP) has the responsibility of reviewing and accrediting the 520 school districts in Missouri. Our total APR (Annual Performance Report) on the MSIP is up 23%

over the last three years. This number may not mean much to you, but it means a lot to the school! On their most recent report, one number stands out: 100% Graduation Rate. Granted, Everton doesn’t have a lot of students but at least every single one of them that is supposed to graduate, does. There is something to be said for small schools and the individualized attention teachers can give to their students. Everton scored a total of 116.5 points out of a possible 140 overall. By comparison, Miller scored a 123, so we are keeping

pace with another rural, albeit larger, district. In January, several students performed very well at the Mark Twain Conference Business Contest. The school finished 2nd overall. Senior, Kylee Wilson, finished first in the Personal Finance portion. Jeremiah Starkey came in 3rd. Last year, Wilson also won the Ozark Electric Cooperative Essay Contest which got her a trip to Washington, DC. Tayler Limpus was the runnerup. Amelia Atkisson was a runner-up this year and will be headed to Jeff City. Everton’s school may

be small but sports still play a role, too. Several students are headed off to college next fall on a variety of scholarships. Tayler Limpus is going to Stephens College in Columbia. Wilson has a mix of scholarships and will play volleyball for Cottey College in Nevada. William Gateley to Murray State in Illinois. Kala Svendsen is headed to Bolivar on a track scholarship from SBU. So out of a graduating class of 12 seniors, we’ve just listed four of them headed off to college with scholarships already in place (and we

might be leaving somebody out!). If you want to know more about our students, or more about the various building projects planned to help improve the learning environment for these kids, come to the Community Dinner tonight, Thursday March 26. You’ll get a free meal, be able to see the school for yourself (just in case you haven’t been inside in a while) and meet with staff and administration. And don’t forget to vote YES in the election coming up April 7.

Great, ‘tis the day before Spring. Yes, I’m looking forward to tomorrow. First day of spring and many years ago that first day of spring delivered my first little baby, our daughter, Nancy. Hopefully we will have spring weather from now on! Sunday, I was able to attend church, thanks to good neighbors for letting me go with them in their new van, to them. In the afternoon, Doc and Ella Whaley came for a

good visit. Sunday before they spent the weekend with his sister in Jefferson City. Monday, my Oxford girl, Karrie, came. She runs errands for me and cleans so much help. I do appreciate ‘older people’ being looked after and help available. Monday was Karrie’s birthday. That night, they were going out to eat at the Hangar. Paul came by after work Monday. He can’t get completely over his

cold, was sick over the weekend again. James Schilling is now at a facility in Kansas City. His progress is rather slow but his family is patient. While Melvin Purdy is spending the winter with his son, Gary in Oklahoma, he had to have gall bladder surgery and later surgery to remove stones that had scattered. He is now back to Gary’s recuperating. Don Mabee thinks his recovery is a bit slow

for having rotary cuff surgery. It does try his patience. As far as I know, there’s little change in other shut-ins. When spring comes, they, as well as, everyone will feel better. We have had some beautiful days. I’ve so enjoyed me and my cats, sitting in the swing on the porch soaking in the warm sun. Ttuesday afternoon, Amy took me for my doctor’s appointment.

This week good neighbors brought me a fruit basket and 3 hot rolls plus their usual little daily jobs. Thanks to Travis’s church newsletter: You know you’re getting marvelously mature when: 1. You wake up looking like your driver’s license picture. 2. The pharmacist has become your new best friend. 3. It takes longer to rest up then it did to get tired.

I just received a call to activate our church prayer chain for Dr. Clarence Mabee who is undergoing surgery this afternoon in Joplin Freeman Hospital. He’s our retired veterinarian. I did not know C.W. McGuire was home until I read his ‘Thank You’ in the Vedette. That is great news. It‘s been a hard road for him and his family.

I am writing to address the issue we are currently facing with the insurance coverage gap. Working in the medical billing field has brought these issues to light for me. This is not just an issue I hear about on the news- I work with it; I feel the exasperation from patients. I feel helpless, what can I do? 1,120; 19,974; 10,355. What are these numbers? They are the number of people uninsured that fall in the coverage gap in the counties of Dade, Jasper, and Newton. This letter is not intended to lash out at the Affordable Healthcare Act, but rather, to bring insight to those who are unaware of the issues that are out there. Issues that we

need our congressmen to address for the people they represent. I have heard stories of people who have tried to obtain insurance coverage through the Health Insurance Marketplace and they either don’t qualify or the cost of the premium is so high, they can’t afford it. They turn to Medicaid, and find out that their income is too high to qualify. What are their options? They are penalized by our government for not obtaining insurance, but they have fallen into the coverage gap. What are they to do? I have received calls from people trying to determine how much they would pay for their medical services without insurance. The cost of healthcare is

astronomical. The healthcare coverage gap needs to be addressed. The insurance plans through the Health Insurance Market needs addressed. Who can afford a $500$700 monthly premium with an insurance plan that has a $5000 or higher deductible that must be met before insurance starts paying your bills? I’m not saying all plans are that expensive, but I have been in contact with several people who were given quotes similar to this for their insurance coverage. My heart breaks for those who are considered “self pay” (those with no insurance) and they find themselves hospitalized for an injury or an illness, for those who don’t have

the money to receive the care they need. Some of these people feel at the end of their rope. They don’t know how they will continue to make ends meet. We need to educate ourselves on what is happening outside of our lives. These people are our friends, relatives, neighbors. We need to help them be a voice, a loud voice that gets our congressmens’ attention. We need answers. We need solutions. To our congressmen, I know there are many issues to address, so much is going on. But please, help your people and find a solution to close the coverage gap. Kimberly Sampson Joplin, Missouri

Powell Named Pennington Seed’s Employee of Month

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

Submitted by Linda Perkin Publications/Training Pennington Seed, Inc.

Katie Powell is the February Employee of the Month at Pennington Seed in Greenfield and was nominated by her manager, Brian Worthington who wrote in his nomination: Katie is an all around great employee that can and will do anything that needs to be done. She is one of the few employees we have that can operate all three lines in our Mulch Department and she has utilized this knowledge to become a huge asset on our second shift. Because of an injury that happened outside of work to another operator, we were short an operator for our ICA on second shift for over a week during February. Katie operated both the Rethceif and the ICA lines during this time to make sure we could keep production going out the door. She hit or exceeded our KPI quotas (Key Process Indicators are key goals that measure progress and success) for

both lines each night. One night she was even short another person, so she operated both lines and stacked on the ICA; still meeting quota. The only thing she ever said

about having to do the extra work was one night I had significant changeovers scheduled for both lines, and she said, “Two changeovers tonight; are you trying to

Carter Wins On Stockton Lake

Jay Carter displays two of his ﬁve-ﬁsh winning catch.

Submitted by Becky Minor

Springfield, Missouri, angler, Jay Carter took the win and Big Bass at the March 21 ABA tournament held on Stockton Lake. That win also put Carter in the lead for Division 126 Angler of the Year. His five fish tipped the scales at 15.62 lbs; his Big Bass was 5.18 lbs. Jerk-bait was the bait of choice for Carter, commenting the bite would have been better with a little wind. Second place went to 2014 D126 Angler Of the Year (AOY), Eric Craft, of Erie, Kansas. His weight was 10.42 lbs. Craft, as the defending AOY and American Bass Anglers National AOY, is now two points behind Carter, 788 and 790. Angler of the Year points are determined by totaling the best four 1day tournaments and the

2-day championship, all held on Stockton Lake. The winning AOY is provided the opportunity to fish at the National Championship for a fully rigged Triton Bass Boat valued at over $50,000. George Salov of Highlandville, Missouri, took 3rd in the tournament with 10.03 lbs followed by local angler, Carl Cox, with 9.93 lbs. These anglers also reported catching their fish on jerk baits. The next tournament for this circuit will be April 25, 2015, on Stockton Lake using Old State Park as launch site. These tournaments qualify anglers for the 2015 Stockton Lake 2-day Championship in June of 2015 and the National Championship, which will be held in October, 2015, on Hartwell Lake, South Carolina.

test me?” Great attitude! Katie came to Pennington Seed four years ago at the suggestion of her brother-in-law, Cory Herd, who was working in mulch. She was interviewed by Scott Beckley and hired immediately to begin working on second shift in the mulch plant. She is now the machine operator for the Rethceif line and says her favorite thing about the position is the challenges. “Sometimes when the machine isn’t working right, it’s an easy fix and then sometimes it’s not so easy.” However, she says production numbers and goals couldn’t be met at all without the “very good team” she works with and the people are her favorite part of the company. “I feel like I have a family here,” said Katie. “Not just in my department, but everyone I’ve worked with and who has helped me in whatever work I was involved in.” Katie grew up in the Sierra Nevada region of California and moved to Missouri with her grandparents, Eddie and Hetty Langley. She spent her

time managing the family farm in Lawrence County before coming to Pennington Seed. She enjoys working outside and credits her grandfather with guiding her throughout life and teaching her how to do “just about everything,” including building two chicken houses for her grandmother and 4 moveable chicken tractors that her grandmother and her mother share. Along with working outside and with her animals, Katie is “addicted to reading.” She reads everything and is “gone in a book,” oblivious to everything around her when she is reading. She and husband, Adam Mead, have Necie, 3, Sonya, 9, Preston, 11, Katelyn, 11, and Derek, Katie wanted to 14. thank Adam for putting up with the crazy schedule changes and all the overtime lately. She also wanted to thank Bruce Carpenter for his patience during her training on the Rethcief and for coming in to fix it when she can’t; to the entire team on the second

shift; to Jessica Beasley for training her on the jug line; to Jeannette Godbehere for training her on the ICA; and special thanks to the people on Rethceif for working late on a moment’s notice; to Jim Grayson and Victoria Robb who always stay late to help with the little stuff; to Werthy Mai and Wayne Hembree for providing workers when they were short-handed in mulch; and to Brian Worthington for the nomination. She sends a particular thank you to Terry Dunn, Maintenance, for showing up and assisting her on her “rough night on ICA.” Congratulations to Katie for this well-deserved honor. Pennington Seed would like to thank Muncy’s Supermarket in Lockwood, Missouri, for their generous support of the Employee of the Month program. Muncy’s has committed to giving each Employee of the Month winner a $50 gift certificate to the supermarket for the next 12 months.

The donation will help the organization provide food, supplies and services to the community. They serve over 30,000 people per week in Southwest Missouri. “Every donation is critical, all charitable organizations need donor support, and this funding is very important as we work diligently to serve the people who need assistance,” said Director of Communications Denise Gibson. “For every dollar we receive, we can distribute ten dollars’ worth of food and hunger relief services.” For five years, America’s Farmers Grow Communities has collaborated with farmers to donate over

$16.5 million to over 7,300 community organizations across rural America. This year winning farmers will direct another $3.3 million to nonprofits to help fight rural hunger, purchase life saving fire and EMS equipment, support ag youth leadership programs, buy much needed classroom resources, and so much more. America’s Farmers Grow Communities is

part of the America’s Farmers initiative. Since 2010, the America’s Farmers campaign and programs have advocated on behalf of farmers and their efforts to meet society’s needs through agriculture. Today, consumers are more interested than ever in agriculture and how food is grown. Consider joining the conversation and helping to raise awareness about agri-

culture. Learn more at FoodDialogues.com. A sister program in the America’s Farmers effort, Grow Rural Education, is currently in its farmer nomination phase. Farmers interested in supporting math and science education in their communities should visit www.GrowRuralEducation.com from now through April 1 to learn how.
