Lockwood FFA Tractor Day

Submitted by Brian Gillen Lockwood R-1 Vocational Education Instructor

On Wednesday, February 25, as part of the National FFA Week, the

Lockwood FFA held its annual Tractor and Chapter T-shirt Day. Twenty-seven members participated with 13 members driving everything from farm semis,

ATV’s, vintage, to modern 300 horsepower tractors. As mentioned earlier chapter members also wore their chapter tshirts to raise awareness

of the FFA in the high school. FFA week is celebrated annually during the month of February to celebrate the heritage and impact of the na-

tional organization.

Although they were never plentiful in the past, it seems reintroduction efforts are paying off. According to the Missouri Department of Conservation, as of 2014 there have been 10-20 nesting pairs documented in recent summers.

Adult ospreys – sometimes mistaken for the larger bald eagle – are generally 21-26 inches long with a black upper body and mostly-white head, chest and underbelly. For more information regarding Empire, visit www.empiredistrict.com

The Lockwood chap-

ter is proud to have been

actively involved in this

organization since 1937.

Empire District Installs Osprey Platforms At Stockton Lake Submitted by Robin McAlester Corporate Communications Photos by Cletis McConnell Vedette Reporter

The osprey-watch will soon begin at Stockton Lake as a new nesting platform was installed by Empire District Electric on Tuesday, February 24. Crews installed the platform at Ruark Bluff Road, at the Missouri Department of Conservation access. Ospreys, a bird of prey, nest near lakes, ponds, rivers and streams in large trees or on artificial structures, such as electric utility poles. Elevated platforms, like the one installed by Empire at Stockton Lake, have been used successfully by nesting osprey at a number of locations in the Midwest. Osprey will return to the same nesting site each year, typically in early March. The platform was built specifically for the pair who nested on the arms of the nearby transmission line last year. This nest caught fire by making a connection

The recovered osprey nest is lifted to the prepared platform. with the energized line burning not only their nest, but the transmission line and part of the pole. According to Brent Baker, general manager of Customer Service, Transmission and Engineering, “This is an important project for us to help the pair es-

tablish a safe nesting alternative and avoid any outages to our customers.” Ospreys are an uncommon migrant to Missouri. They are listed as an endangered species in our neighboring state, Illinois and are listed as a species of concern for Missouri.

Grocers’ Fundraiser Exceeds Goal

Check Out Hunger raises nearly $50,000 for Ozarks Food Harvest Eighty grocery stores partnered with Ozarks Food Harvest to help Check Out Hunger, collecting a grand total of $49,786 in check-out lanes across the Ozarks. “While this campaign runs in November and December, we don’t receive all the checks until January and February — but it’s an ideal time for us to receive this kind of gift, because donations drop just after the holiday season,” said Denise Gibson, development and communication director at Ozarks Food Harvest. “This is a record-breaking

year for this fundraiser and we’re happy to say now that the final check is in, we’ll be able to provide about 250,000 more meals for our neighbors who struggle with hunger.” Check Out Hunger gives shoppers in more than 50 communities the opportunity to add a $1, $3 or $5 tax-free donation to their bill when checking out at area grocers, including Akin's, Bistro Market, Cash Saver, Country Mart, Dillons, Harter House, HyVee, Murfin's Market, Pennington’s, Price Cutter, Ramey, Rhodes Family Price Chopper, Richards Supermarket, Smitty's,

Summer Fresh, Town & Country and Woods Supermarket. The funds raised during the 16th annual campaign will help feed those who access services from Ozarks Food Harvest’s 200 member food pantries and hunger-relief programs in 28 southwest Missouri counties. Every dollar donated to The Food Bank provides five meals for those in need. Last year, Check Out Hunger raised $36,500. This year’s goal was $40,000. Since 1998, the grocer-food bank partnership has collected more than $320,000.

Ash Grove Man Battling Leukemia Submitted by Kathy Thurman

One of the kindest people in Ash Grove is in need of our help. Derek Lanksbury is struggling with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia which is a quickly progressing disease in which too many abnormal white blood cells are found in the bone marrow. Derek has been in and out of the hospital for more than two months with a long course of chemotherapy and bone marrow transplant down the road. Although Derek is legally blind, the chemotherapy is affecting his vision and may take what sight he has left. His wife, Lynette, has been on extended familyleave without pay and has never left his side.

Linda (Derek’s mother) and Doyne (step father) of Ash Grove have tried to be with them when they can, but it is hard to make the long drive along with watching over Derek & Lynette’s home and animals. If you would like to help them out, no matter the amount, there is a medical savings account set up at Old Missouri Bank/Bank of Ash Grove in his name. You can send well wishes to Barnes Jewish Hospital/Hope Hotel (similar to Ronald McDonald House) at 4921 Parkview Parkway, North Campus c/o Derek Lanksbury, St. Louis, MO 63110. I am sure he & Lynette would love to hear from you!

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

Main Street congregation met at 9:30 for Sunday School then adjourned to the Sanctuary for worship services. The choir and praise team led us in singing “Ancient of Days” along with other hymns. Rodney’s sermon was on Sunday SchoolThe alternative to Church-lite. Scripture was taken from Ephesians 4:11-13 and Matthew 28:19-20. 1. Sunday School is the best way to get involved in the life of a local church. 2. Sunday School is a powerful way to influence the lives of people. 2 Timothy 3:15-17.

Here is an example: Edward Kimball led Dwight L. Moody to the Lord, who led Frederic Meyer to the Lord, who influenced J. Wilbur Chapman to respond to the call of God on his life, who influenced famous pro ball player Billy Sunday to become a preacher and evangelist, whose crusades influenced the city of Charlotte, North Carolina to host a city crusade led by Mardecia Ham, and attended by 16 year old Billy Graham who gave his life to Jesus. Sunday School has the potential to influence eternity. So it would be a big mistake to cut this from your schedule.

3. Sunday School is important because of the textbook we use: Hebrews 4:12-For the Word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. 4. Participating in Sunday School is following Jesus example. if your weekly schedule does not include the Sunday School hour, I would encourage you to add it! Get out your smart phone and schedule it now. Sunday School

teachers will be serving breakfast Sunday morning at 9:15 for grades kindergarten through youth. Come and enjoy Sunday School at Main Street. Sunday night Ken Lupton from Lifeway talked to the teachers and assistants about the importance of Sunday School. Linda Johnson is starting a Book Study Monday mornings at 10:00 a.m. beginning March 2 from Ephesians 3:20-21 “God is Able”. People reaching out and reaching up-that is the church.

Baptist University in Bolivar; Pastor Robb Hodson from First Baptist Church at Lamar; and Andrew Newberry, a former pastor at Sharon who now serves Hopewell Baptist Church near Osceola. Evening services are at 7 p.m. The Sunday morning worship time is 11:00 a.m. Special music will also be a part of every revival worship service. These musicians, again in the order of their service, are: Larry Peak of Dadeville; musicians

Brother Sutter has served as music minister at First Baptist Churches of Carthage, Missouri; Amarillo, Texas; and Charlotte, North Carolina. On Wednesday night, he will bless us with a special music presentation called “Songs of My Journey’, preceding the preaching service.

The Sharon Church building is located on U.S. Highway 160, five miles east of Greenfield. Our church desires your prayers for these revival services, that not only our congregation, but other churches in the area will beseech our Lord with the petition the Psalmist makes in Psalm 85:6 “Lord, will you not revive us agin that Your people may rejoice in You”, and thus all our congregations will bless Him and the communities we serve.

News From Sharon Baptist Church

Here’s a poem from the book ‘157 Select Poems’ compiled by Boyd Hatford. (poem written by Sandra Goodwin). “Traveling On My Knees” Last night, I took a journey to a land far ‘cross the seas; I didn’t go by boat or plane, I traveled on my knees. I saw so many people there in deepest depths of sin, and Jesus told me I should go, that there were souls to win. But I said, Jesus, I can’t go and work with such as these.” He answered quickly, “Yes, you can by travelling on your knees.” He said, “You pray; I’ll meet the need, you call and I will hear; be concerned about lost souls, of those both far and near.” And so I tried it, knelt in prayer, gave up some hours of ease; I felt the Lord right by my side

while travelling on my knees. As I prayed on and saw souls saved and twisted bodies healed, and saw God’s workers’ strength renewed while laboring on the field, I said, “Yes, Lord, I have a job, my desire Thy will to please; I can go and heed Thy call by travelling on my knees.” We may be facing many challenges that we have no idea what to do. That’s when it is time to talk with Jesus. When you pray to Him ask in faith; trust Him for the answer; and keep believing that it will come about. We can be a ‘light’ for ones around us who are struggling and don’t know where to turn. Spending time on our knees praying many of our needs will be met. Some of our needs may be for healing; for our families; for our community; the list can go on and on. I’ll end with this question: What is your need?

Lockwood Ministerial Alliance Food Pantry

The hours of operation of the Food Pantry will be Wednesdays from noon until 2:00 p.m. and on Fridays from 3:00 - 5:00 p.m. There will be someone there during those times to assist you. If you have any questions you can contact any of the churches in Lockwood.

The Lockwood Lady Tigers traveled to Butler, Missouri, for the Class 2, District 13 tournament and lost in the semi-finals to Archie. In the first round, Lockwood used strong second and third quarters to slowly pull away from Dade County rival Greenfield for a 54-40 win. Senior Olivia Finley led the way with 17 points and sophomore, Noble Foster, came off the bench to add 10 points. Against Archie, the Lady Tigers got off to a slow start and could never recover. Down 16- 4 after the first quarter, Lockwood was in comeback mode for the rest of the game, and the final

score of 48-44 was as close as they could get to Archie. The team’s three seniors, playing their last game, led the scoring. Olivia Finley had 12, Alexis Byrnes with 11, and Jessica Nentrup had 10. It was truly a successful season that saw the team reach several milestones. The 20 wins had not been accomplished in 10 years. Alexis Byrnes scored her 1000th point and Coach Kara Kinney had her 100th win. We wish the departing seniors well and also look forward to a strong 2015-16 season.

March birthdays are my Kim’s big 60 on the 12; brother-in-law-Don Coble, Aunt Mary Lee Marsh, Lora Keck, Eric Steeley and Richard Jones share the 18; niece, Katina and Matt Willard; happy 4th anniversary to daughter, Kelbey and Asa Bowles; happy anniversary to sister, Linda and Don Coble. We lost uncle Harold Vandegrift on March 1, 2007. Gone but not forgotten. Easter will be here before you know it. Wade and Chloe Jones spent the night

with us on Friday night. Pancakes for supper and breakfast. You would think they would get tired of them. Melinda came and picked them up after lunch on Saturday to go to a birthday party. Of course, they were ready to leave my house then. On Sunday after church, we ran into Greenfield. Later that evening, I made some soups and took some to Dustin and Melinda, Carol Jones and Bill Jones. Jacob and Abby had stopped by and sent

them home soup. Tried out some new recipes. They were all keepers. This weather and the wind has been so cold. Just cut right though you. You would think I was crazy as I was cold one evening and it was already 76 degrees with wood heat. Betty Vandegrift and Lucille Franklin were in Springfield on Wednesday as mom had a dentist appointment. They meet daughter, Linda Coble, for lunch. Sister, Linda Coble, is retired but stays busy. She has taken over the

thrift shop in Ash Grove. It has been shut down for about 2 weeks as she has done many repairs, painted, put in new back doors, sorted, rearranged. It has been her job. I understand they will reopen next week. Dustin finished his chemo on Friday. He was pretty much down Saturday afternoon and Sunday. Went back to doctor on Monday and had to have bag of fluids, but happy to say all his blood work was great. The numbers keep going down. I know all of our

prayer warriors have been busy. He will return to MD Anderson in March and we continue to pray for more good results. Words can’t begin to tell all the concern,love, compassion, acts of kindness and the list goes on and on that everyone has done for this family. God has surrounded with so many wonderful people. God is giving all of us blessings every day. This small Dade county community has pulled together and and did so many wonderful things. I do hope that Bobby

and Laura Moore had a wonderful anniversary day and looking forward to their celebration and Bobby’s 70th birthday was one of the best. The weather wasn’t the best, but I am sure they overlooked it. Many more to both of you. Kelbey and Asa are moving slow on their house right now. Too cold, but still work in progress. Not much going on anywhere with these cold temperatures.

Gone but not forgotten! What a week of weather we have had. I don't know about you all, but I am more than ready for spring. Rick & I braved the cold last Monday and went to Skyler's game in Springfield. This was his last game of regular season. They won over Champion Baptist College 82-68. Skyler had 14 points. They then played in a Regional Tournament on Friday & Saturday. Won Friday night but went up Manhattan, against Kansas on Saturday which they had lost 2 previous games with earlier in the season. They played a rough & tough game to loose by one point, 75-76. I want to extend sympathy to the many families in our area who have lost loved ones. I know some of you will know the veterinarian, Dr. Whitesell in Stockton. His grandson,

Jack Spangler, 8, fell thru a pond Saturday and tragically drowned. They saved 2 other boys but couldn't get to him. Jack leaves his parents, Chad & Jill Spangler and siblings, Simone & Vivi. I can't even fathom what this family is going thru. Was saddened to get word Helen Robertson passed away Saturday in the Dade County Nursing Home. She was such a sweet and lovely lady who leaves behind many memories with her family. Also, Joe West passed away February 22 after a long battle with cancer. Be with all these families as they grieve their loved ones. Logan came down with a toothache on Tuesday and why is it my family always has teeth trouble when our dentist is on vacation. Anyway, we got him in at Ash Grove on Wednesday and they had to do a root canal. But I was thankful we got him in and want to thank the doctor for seeing him. Dr. Rogers has been enjoying vacation I believe in Alabama this past week. I know Rod & Cheryl O'Connor spent some

time in Phoenix getting Rod's check-up. His cancer had not grown any but due to his blood count they had to change his chemo some. But all in all he got a good report. Hoorah!!! Our friend, Shawna Small from Ash Grove, didn't get a very good report on her cancer checkup in Tulsa last week and is waiting to see what the doctors plan on next. Keep her in your prayers. Rick & I will be going to Tulsa this week for his new scans & check-up. Hopefully they will all be good. He was down for several days this week with tummy problems and lost 4 lbs but is finally feeling better. Its a good thing because our cows are calving like crazy in this horrible weather. He is up before daylight and gets in after dark every night exhausted like so many other farmers. Friday, he did take part of the day off for us to go to Bolivar and look at some nice bulls. Then, we made a mad dash to Willard to watch granddaughter, Mayce Baker, in a school play. It was the 3rd graders putting on "How to be a Pirate" and their outfits were

adorable. They all done a great job. Todd Decker is in Haiti right now on a mission trip and I can't wait to hear all about it. Todd was a classmate of mine and is the son of Kay Decker of Arcola. Jenny "Brown’s“ daughter, Kelsey, has been in the hospital with a UTI and dehydration. It’s never fun when your child is sick, so we hope she is feeling better soon. Uncle Winton Hargis got home from the nursing home Friday before the big snow. He wasn't feeling too perky Sunday when I talked to him so I hope he feels better soon. He had had some visitors Sunday and Pat Killingsworth even delivered a raisin pie. Yum Yum I want to commend all the workers, helpers and anyone else who helped with Dusty Jones benefit. It was bigger and better than they could believe. A lot of hard work went into it and words cannot express how they feel. It was just Awesome!! Way to Go!!! Congratulations to the Walnut Grove basketball teams on winning Districts. They are on their way to State again I

believe. Both teams will play in Bolivar Tuesday night. This is the first time in 10 years the boys have won District. I want to wish them luck!! Sunday, Mom had all my family in for chili and with this cold weather it hit the spot. Mom & I had fun Sunday afternoon going thru some family history that I am trying to write down for my kids. Our parents have so much history that I don't want to lose any of it. I want to congratulate Linley Shouse's granddaughter, Gillian Hoogstraet, who is a freshman at Glendale High School. She was one of the 10 swimmers who made it to the Missouri State High School Championship in St. Peters a couple of weeks ago. I didn't get the end results on Saturday but with her being a freshman I'm sure we will be hearing more of her in the following years. Her mother, Gayle "Shouse", was 1985 GHS graduate. Everyone have a good week.

Hello all! To start off some of you ‘old’ like me can relate to this. Water come out of the tap or water bucket (if you had a deep well). If someone has suggested bottling it and charging more than gasoline for it, they would have become a laughing stock! Yes, my news is scarce again. I got out very little. Hopefully will be different when warm weather comes.

I found the following in Springfield paper. Maybe some will have known him. The death of James Wilburn Hood. He was born in Lockwood, son of Burnis and Loreva (Ruddick) Hood. He now lived in Fayetteville, Arkansas and was 67 years old. Funeral services were at Miller, Missouri. Sunday was not the best day for me. By the time I got dressed and

ate breakfast, my energy left me; home I stayed. In the afternoon, I did have a nice visit with friend, Elaine. She brought me a church bulletin. LaRue remains in Mercy Hospital. The fall could have been due to vertigo. Years ago I had vertigo. It’s no fun. Madge T. continues her treatments in Joplin, Monday through Friday. Rick Hefling is convalescing at home following his second knee

surgery (same knee). What concerned neighbors I have. Amy and Ramona love to cook. I’m their best tester, banana nut bread, other breads and foods and some nights whatever they are having a plate is brought over to me. Do I refuse? Noooo! Wednesday night was the monthly birthday-anniversary supper at United Methodist. February birthdays and anniversaries were hon-

ored. I did not go but they remembered me by bringing a plate of food. No danger of me going hungry! Congratulations to both boys and girls basketball teams. This week, both play in district at Butler. Last night boys beat Adrian, tonight (Thursday), girls play Archie. Both have their own cheering section made up with parents, grandparents, family and lots of friends. Finals Saturday. Sunday, March 1st, is opening trout season and if John was here, off to Roaring River we would go after church. I would not fish opening day. Yes, would need to see to believe the crowd. He so enjoyed fishing. Today, my little neighbor boy, Nathan and his grandma got

home from Columbia where Friday Nathan had ear surgery. I haven’t seen him but say all went well and he’s fine. Tomorrow is his birthday. Yes, he will be at school with cupcakes for his friends. Last week, no school due to Presidents birthday and bad weather. When I went to school, I don’t remember ever calling off school. In elementary, everyone walked to school; no bus. My first school bus was all wooden; glass in passenger door was out and covered with wood with a hole to see through. Wouldn’t that pass inspection today! I have a picture of that bus.

Trudell News by Blanche Trudell

Well, winter is still here. We get a warm day and get all excited. Then, the wind comes in from the north and the snow flies, but we have to accept that it is still WINTER! Joe and I have been busy this week. We went to Springfield between the bad weather on Friday last week. Then, it turned cold so we fixed the ceiling in the kitchen while it was too cold to get outside and do anything. Joe did the wood working, then the plaster board. I filled the cracks sanded and holes; painted. It isn’t perfect, but the old house isn’t perfect and neither am I. Monday, I started a class for ministers. I was blessed as was all those who attended. Tuesday, we enjoyed the company of John Sherman. He brought some really good peanut butter candy balls (he promised me the receipt). We really enjoyed them after having soup, slaw, and apple pie and ice cream (none of which are on my diet, but the pie was made with Splenda). After supper, we played cards. I think we all had our turn of winning. Sorry that Nancy Shanahan was busy with the yearly STATE Inspection. I hope the nursing home did great. I know they try to do things according to the rules, as I worked there 8

plus years. I miss working there, but also enjoy staying home and watching all the wild animals. Wednesday, I went to Doctor Naughtigal and got a shot for my knee ,trying to keep from having surgery for a while. Will probably do it this summer. When I got home, I found out that I had lost my diabetic testing machine. I called and got a replacement, but it will be a few days before I can get it. I borrowed one from a friend, for a few days, until my new one arrives, then, Joe and I went to bible study after prayer meeting. Thursday, we went to Pittsburg, Kansas, to a funeral of one of our members. Alan Ross’s mother passed away and he was out of the country, but was able to get there in time. We got home and rested for a while then we got a call that Verna Tipper had fallen and broken her arm. She called and ask me to come over and say a special prayer, so Joe and I went. We got home before midnight. I am getting too old for all these things. 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!

Dade County Health Department/Southwest Area Coalition Receives A Coover Regional Grant

Submitted by Pamela Allen, Administrator Dade County Health Department

The Community of the Foundation Ozarks, in partnership with Commerce Trust awarded Company, $15,000 to the Dade County Health Department/Southwest Area Coalition at the 2015 Coover Regional Grants ceremony in Springfield. The funding will be used to provide stipends of up to $75 to Dade County patients to help cover the costs of laboratory tests and prescription drugs. These costs are a barrier to the Health Department’s goal of being able to provide access to medical care for Dade County residents. “There is a gap in the clinic where they can come to see the doctor, but have no way to pay for lab tests and prescriptions,” Pam Allen said. The Louis L. and Julia Dorothy Coover Regional Grantmaking Program awarded the grant at a ceremony on Feb. 26 at The Commerce Trust Company in Springfield. The Dade County Health Department/ Southwest Area Coalition grant was among 17 pro-

CFO Board Treasurer Roger D. (Dusty) Shaw presents a Coover grant to LeaAnn Blanchard, Lacey Ehrsam, Pam Allen, Amanda Roberts, and Becky Coose along with CFO board member Karen Miller and Commerce Trust Vice President Jill Reynolds.

posals selected for a total of $200,000 in awards from among $1.4 million in requests. The 2015 grant awards are being awarded to agencies working on poverty, senior issues, health, community development, and arts issues. These grants are made possible through the generosity of the late Julia Dorothy Coover, who worked for Commerce Bank for 30 years. She established the Louis L. and Julia Dorothy

Coover Charitable Foundation in 1992 to honor her husband’s memory. With this year’s awards, the Coover Charitable Foundation surpasses $4 million in grantmaking across the Ozarks since its founding. “This is always one of our favorite days of the year,” Commerce Trust Vice President Jill Reynolds said. “It is so rewarding to support the work being done by nonprofits in our rural areas. We are very proud that

Mrs. Coover was a longterm Commerce employee and that she had such a generous heart and the passion to help citizens in southwest Missouri.” Community The Foundation of the Ozarks has a network of 45 affiliate foundations, including the DACO Community Foundation and the Lockwood Community Foundation serving Dade County.

I sure am camping out in my house this week. The front door has been sealed as it is about to fall out after the tearing out of the floors. I have dishes all over the front room along with the table and chairs. My china cabinets line my hallway with a narrow path going to the back of the house. The refrigerators and dishwasher are sitting in the middle of my kitchen with a path to the stove and sink. Fun times at the homestead. All the floors are torn up and three big fans blowing to dry the floor out. Since the storm brought in the snow, it seemed like a good time to hibernate in the sewing room. Thanks to Jerry who couldn’t get hold of me the other day during the blizzard and was worried

about me. I had my phone with me and with the 4-wheel drive was at the funeral of Robert Larson in Greenfield. Since the cells are usually in dead zones that direction, I was out of pocket, as my son would say. Dorothy Miller called to see how I was doing and was waiting for the thaw to get out today. Clea and Louis Kleeman ran in a race the day of snow and came in first in both classes so I wasn’t even near as crazy as they were being out in it. As Kamala said though, at least their kids knew where they were and could dig them out somewhere. I think I have succumbed to being the child somewhere in role reversal. I bet many of my readers have found the same reaction. Spent the time last week picking out new

carpet and tile. In between, were the people who came to measure the different floors. At least I didn’t have to remove the walls. Today. I was watching a show about Henry Morgan trying to steal gold in Panama. When we were there a few years ago, it was interesting how he tried to get to a solid gold wall in a church but when he landed it was gone along with a lot of the population. The people had taken the wall down and buried it under their human waste and garbage pile for the town and skipped out to the jungle. The thieves never found it. I don’t know how the people ever moved it because it was solid gold and huge. The wall is absolutely beautiful. I can’t believe that Missouri is considering legalizing the drug that is destroying Colorado.

Two states are suing Colorado for what it has done to their state. Does Missouri want in on the action of lawsuits? Washington DC had enough problems with our Congress having any sense but now it is legal to smoke it there. Wonder how many were already smoking it before it was legal? Oh, well, as long as my air stays a little safer. What does the second hand smoke do to us that don’t smoke it? China lost their country from the inside by opium so watch out America. History repeats itself. Just now the snow plow has plowed our road and right behind it were the coyote hunters. They even were following the gravel truck. It was quiet for a few hours anyway.

RANDOM THOUGHTS AND JOKES THIS WEEK You never forget the neighborhood kids you grew up with. No one hates winter like someone who has a motorcycle sitting in the garage. Do you want to build a snowman? No, I want to build a sand castle on a beach in the sun where there is no snow. My parent spanked me as a child. As a result, I now suffer from a psychological condition

known as respect for others. Common sense is a flower that doesn’t grow in everyone’s garden. FROM AUNT ACID I have gotten out of bed 365 days a year for 73 years.That is 27640 situps and not one ab to show for it. I can’t decide if people who wear pajams in public have given up on life or are living it to the fullest. LOOKING BACK March 4, 1954: 30 men from the Lockwood

area converged on the Eddie Von Strohe farm to take over the job of plowing and seeding his field. On hand were 22 tractors, 2 seed drills, 3 trucks, 8 plows, 2 harrows, 3 discs, 5 spreaders and 2 loaders. A tractor and plow were contributed by Clint Marsh of the Allis Chamblers line and a tractor and disc were contributed by the Von Stroh Implement Co of John Deere equipment. By the end of the day they had plowed 50 acres of land, loaded and

hauled 200 loads of manure, cleaned out two barns, harrowed and sowed 24 acres of oats and disked 8 acres of ground standing in stalk. MY TURN MISC Congrats to all who helped with the Dusty Jones Family Benefit in Greenfield on 2-28-15. A true miracle took place with over 500 people in attendance. This area supports people in need and it showed.

vember 2004 general election, nearly one-third of the state’s counties had a higher number of registered voters on their rolls than there were residents of voting age. “The first step in protecting the integrity of our elections is making sure the voter rolls are accurate and up-to-date, and this is a major step forward in that effort,” Kander said. “I applaud the local election authorities for working hard to update and maintain their voter rolls. There’s still

more work to be done, but by working together, we have made unprecedented progress.” The statewide voter database was established in 2006 to help local election authorities keep Missouri’s voter rolls up to date. Each county maintains and updates their rolls following federal and state law, but not every county had achieved the goal of keeping their voter rolls under their voting age population – until now. In Missouri, local

election authorities maintain their own voter rolls. Kander’s office provides support to the local election authorities in the form of grants and assistance to help remove voters who should no longer be on the rolls for a variety of reasons, including if they have moved out of state, passed away, or have not responded to mailed inquiries from their local election authority and did not vote in two federal elections in a row.

TEMPLE,

the kickoff. We had a Hero of Hope speaker who told about her experience with cancer and how the American Cancer Society was such a help to her. Her words were an inspiration to keep fighting against the evil of cancer. Cancer is still a deadly disease in this country and the Dade County Relay for Life is another way to fight against the disease by raising funds to support research, building Hope Lodges for the patients and families needing to be away from home to seek treatment, helping patients with even the smallest things like trying to feel good about their own appearance by providing wigs and techniques for tying scarves, and even just providing someone to talk to in the middle of the night by calling a support line when the pain is too bad to sleep. This unit is dedi-

cated to raising funds in support of the American Cancer Society and we need your help. Anyone interested in forming their own team is very welcome and greatly appreciated. If you even have an ounce of desire to form your own team, please call Penny White, 2324266. Penny has been a team captain for several years and would be happy to share her insight with you and get you and your team started on the way to a successful event. Even smallest effort the would be a great asset! Please keep an eye out for any upcoming events in the area. Many teams will be having events leading up to the Relay in May, luminarias can be purchased and displayed at Town & Country Tire, and if you see a Relay for Life bucket setting on a desk, feel free to drop your change in to help make a

difference. This community has been an awesome supporter of the Relay for Life in the past and we ask for your help again this year. If you are a cancer survivor or are currently fighting against it, we would love to have you contact us to add you to our list of honorees. Due to privacy regulations, we can’t approach you, but if you contact a team captain or the American Cancer Society itself, you can be added to our roster of survivors. Please mark your calendars for May 30, 2015! We are planning some good food, great entertainment, many ways to “donate” your money, and lots of fun!! If you have any other questions, please contact Dannie Bettis, 425-3142. THANK YOU!!!
