Tractor In Attempted Break-Ins Found By Cle s McConnell Vede e Reporter Photo Submi ed By Greenﬁeld Police Chief Tim Larkin

Thieves damaged the Trading Post in Greenfield and other businesses in the area early Monday morning on September 22, 2014, in attempted break-ins by backing an 18-wheeler tractor into the business door and running when alarms went off. The black 2005 Peterbilt used has since been located at the Waffle House at Glentone and Kearney in Springfield. The owner of Mashburn Trading Co., of Bolivar, said the vehicle had been stolen Sunday from a farm in the Bolivar area. “A GPS, CD and various other items had been

taken from the vehicle,” Greenfield Police Chief Tim Larkin said.

Videos have been viewed and fingerprints have been taken from the

truck. Please call 417-6372834 with any informa-

Rite Of Dedication For New Food Pantry Submi ed by Pamela Allen Photo by Cle s McConnell Vede e Reporter

On Sunday, September 28th at 2:30, a Rite of Dedication took place for the new food pantry at the Immanuel Lutheran Church parking lot facing 160 in Lockwood, Missouri. Pastor Gary Griffin and Rev. Kyle Fittje of the Immanuel Lutheran church led the Rite of Dedication service. Other pastors and members from the churches in Lockwood were in attendance as the Food pantry is a Ministerial Alliance project. Other honorary guests were: Pamela Allen, who wrote a grant for $5,000 and then was matched by Thrivent for

an additional $5,000; Tom Mehl and Austin Rice who paved the way for the grant from Thrivent; Tim Eggerman and Merle Schnelle who won a contest with Monsanto for $2,000; and Brian Wehrman, who drew up the plans and constructed the new Food Pantry. Many present brought canned food or paper products for the food pantry. This was a two-year project and with hard work and many partners working together, the food pantry has become a reality. May God bless this food pantry and those who continue to help others in their time of need.

Juanita (Breshears) Drysdale White Juanita (Breshears) Drysdale White passed away Monday, September 22, 2014, in Lee’s Summit, Missouri. She was born May 30, 1918 to Harry and Chloe Breshears in the community of Aldrich, Missouri. Juanita grew up in the Aldrich and Bolivar communities and graduated High School at Bolivar, Missouri. She and her first love, Hugh Drysdale, were married in Bolivar, Missouri on May 26, 1936 and were blessed with three children. Hugh passed away January 25, 1946, and Juanita devoted her life to loving and raising their children. She was blessed with love once again and was married to Paul Thomas White on December 13, 1950. They worked side by side living on and caring for a farm in Dade County Missouri for 51 years until Paul’s passing on July 21, 2001. Juanita cared for her neighbors and was always ready to help when needed. She loved gardening and canning produce for her friends and family. Juanita was an excellent cook and loved cooking dinners for family gatherings. She loved spending time with her grandchildren as much as they enjoyed spending long summer visits at the farm.

Juanita was a member and active Christian servant of the Sharon Baptist Church until she moved to Lee’s Summit, Missouri to be near her children. Her life was long and blessed and her strong faith carried her through times of sorrow. There is peace in knowing that she is now rejoicing with the following loved ones who preceded her to heaven: parents, Harry and Chloe Breshears; spouses, Hugh Drysdale and Paul White; first born daughter, Fernita Drysdale; granddaughter, Stephanie Drysdale and son-in-law, Clyde Long; brother, O’Neal Breshears and brother and sister-in-law, Jack and Dorthea Breshears.

The Dade County Federated Republican Women's Club hosted the monthly birthday party at the Good Shepherd Nursing Home on September 19, 2014. The ladies served various kinds of pie and drinks that were furnished by Vickie Warren, LaRue Lemons, Joanne Snodgrass, Mary Kahre and Ruth Neill. The guests were en-

tertained by Harry and Betty Charles' beautiful guitar and vocal music. They sang many old and new songs that were greatly enjoyed by all who attended. Each resident having a birthday in September was given a gift by the club. The Republican women who helped with the party were LaRue, Joanne and Ruth.

Andi Montgomery, daughter of Darrell and Charla Montgomery, chose to raise mums for her supervised agricultural experience FFA project this year. Andi’s project was raised at Joyful Hearts Greenhouse where she works part time. Mums are grown from little cuttings planted the first week of June, then watered and cared for all summer. In the process of growing the mums, Andi has learned much about fertilizing, protecting them from insects and irrigation systems. The daily early morning of

watering and checking for insects or disease takes a lot of time and energy. Once the mums start to bloom, she has to go through the process of advertising and selling before she can finish her project and hopefully see a profit. She also has to keep records of costs of pots, soil, fertilizer, insecticide and the plant cuttings. Andi is selling her mums both wholesale and retail. You can purchase Andi’s mums at Joyful Hearts Greenhouse or call 417-535-4033 or 417-637-2258. Andi is a member of the Everton FFA chapter.

Carpenter Named Pennington’s Seed Employee of Month Submi ed by Linda Perkin Publica ons/Training Pennington Seed, Inc.

Bruce Carpenter is the Employee of the Month for September at Pennington Seed, Inc. in Greenfield and was nominated by his manager, Brian Worthington, who wrote in his nomination: Bruce has several years of experience in different manufacturing areas which makes him a well-rounded employee and a great asset to the company. Bruce also has a basic instinct or talent for understanding how things work and this makes it easy for him to learn how to operate something new in a short amount of time. Bruce is great at getting the job done. He will come in early or stay late to run the machine if an order has to ship. Anytime there is an issue on his line, regardless of time, day, or who is operating the line, he will come in and get it running again. Bruce is also good at completing tasks not related to production. Any task I need done for testing, sizing, or running new products, I can go to Bruce and he completes the task correctly and accurately. He has really proven this over the last month as we work on the Toy Story Project. Bruce is also a great contributor to har-

vest and helps David King wherever anything needs to be done. Bruce is a machine operator in the Mulch and Pellet Mill areas and came to work at Pennington Seed in October of 2008. He said his dad Daryl Carpenter told him to come here just as he (Bruce) had suggested the same to his dad back in 1987. This is the second time Bruce has worked at Pennington Seed. In 1983, he started work in the Plant with Charley Hickey and then moved to Warehouse 7 which was Distribution at the time. What he likes about his job now is the challenge it provides. There

are so many packaging options from the size of the bag and the mix that goes into it to the way it will be displayed at the store. Some clients want case packs that can be set directly on the showroom floor and others prefer pallets of product. “It’s whatever the store wants.” The variety of people at Pennington with their different personalities is also something Bruce enjoys. As for the parent company Central Garden & Pet, he appreciates that they “seem to be progressive, always looking for new, innovative ways to do things and new products to introduce.”

Bruce was born in El Dorado Springs and lived in Greenfield until early in his life when the family picked up roots and moved to Detroit, Michigan. His grandfather, who was from Miller and already in Detroit working for Marblehead Lime, told his son the company needed a maintenance guy. Daryl got the job and the family lived in Detroit until moving back to Greenfield when Bruce was in the 6th grade. Bruce married Kim Allred from Dadeville over 26 years ago and they have five daughters: Brittany, Brooke, Blake, Mallory and Ashlyn. Brooke has provided them 2 granddaughters: Bella and Austyn, and Blake with a grandson, Kale, and another grandson due for delivery in January. Bruce enjoys spending as much time as possible with his grandchildren and golfing when he can fit it in. He likes to hang out at Stockton Lake on weekends in the summer and the occasional camping/fishing trip with his brother-in-law Brian Freeze. Bruce thanked Brian Worthington for the nomination and Keith Hankins for selecting him, saying he “appreciated the recognition.”

TRUDELL NEWS by Blanche Trudell It has been 2 weeks since I have been able to get the news written. I forgot. I guess I am getting OLD or just too busy to get everything done. We had a visiting speaker last week. David Troyer came and spoke to our little congregation September 14th and then we had a pot luck dinner and all had a good time visiting with everybody. Judy Acuna left for California to visit with her daughter and new baby granddaughter (she is about 9 months old) and so cute. Then, she visited with some of her brothers and sisters. She

had a good time and is back home. We missed her at church. Joyce Henry was taking her son to the doctor and shopping in Springfield and had car break down. She had to have it towed home, but the mechanic said he was able to get it fixed for her. Thursday, 18th, Joe and I went to Springfield to get my wedding rings as my hands have gotten smaller and I had to get them fixed, so I wouldn’t lose them. Friday, Verna Tipper and I went to see her brother Robert Wayne Conwell. He is home bound and we took him communion, even though it wasn’t Sunday as he doesn’t get out much. Monday, September 22nd, Joe and I went to Branson and saw the antique tractors, farm implements, cars, trucks. Then, we had a wonderful dinner at Country Buffett. We got to the Ride the

Ducks in time to go out on the tour. It was very interesting and I was surprised at all the history lesson we had about WWII amphibian equipment that was used. I remember WWII as I was old enough to remember some of it. My older sisters helped work in the defense plants, and my first husband was in the U.S. Air Force. He was an airplane mechanic, and told me about all the air planes he worked on. Joe and I got home in time for supper and Joe went outside to do a little work on something. While he was out, I started having chest pain, and we ended up in the hospital all night. We still aren’t sure what caused me the chest pain, but it hurt like it did 18 months ago, when my heart stopped beating and Joe had to give me a cardical thump to get it started again. I am feeling pretty good now and am on a lot

of meds. I am back to the usual self. I can’t smell good enough to tell if I have diesel or gasoline, so I ended up putting diesel in the mower, even though I ask Joe which can to use. Well, he told me the wrong one, so he worked on the mower 2 days to get it all cleaned out so we could mow with the push mower. At least he got it fixed. And we got the mowing done. Thad and Butch Burrows came by and cut wood for the winter. It was good to see him, and he didn’t have to have the patch on his eye, as it is healing good. Let us remember to pray for all those who are serving our country, (the wars and rumors of wars don’t look good to me) and pray for those in the nursing homes, those in the storms and all the people who have been sick or lost loved ones. GOD BLESS AMERICA! May God bless us all!

RESPECT, LEARN FROM THE DENIERS By Henry McBride

A couple of months ago I began reading a book I purchased six years ago. The receipt was still in it. It has been on a shelf with a number of other books I still have to read. The timing of this particular book is fortuitous in that my reading coincides with the recent climate marches and authoritative pronouncements from the U.N. climate meetings. The book is The Deniers, written by Lawrence Solomon, subtitled The worldrenowned scientists who stood up against global warming hysteria, political persecution, and fraud. “Deniers” is the derogatory name chosen

by the global warming alarmists such as Al Gore to try and shut off all dissent regarding their favorite cause. If you are a “denier” then you are considered too stupid, too ignorant of the facts, incapable of understanding the issue, and have a maniacal mind-set from which you want to see the people of the earth suffer and perish in a fog of CO2. The namecallers are the experts who think consensus, real or not, forced or not, is a scientific method and you should bow to their cause. Consensus is an opinion poll, not science. Furthermore, no one on our planet is an authority on the total body of knowledge regarding the climate. The Deniers book

I refer to tells the qualifications and experiences of a group of experts in their particular fields of study regarding climate. Whether it is statistics, solar activity, or any other aspect of climate study, they are just as qualified and just as much an expert in their field as anyone else. They do not deny the fact of global warming. Temperatures are increasing at about the same rate as they have for the last 200 years or so and they accept that. What they deny is the doomsday scenario pushed by those like Al Gore and the U.N. through its IPCC reports. Al’s claims were made with a profit motive in mind; the U.N.’s were made with a power

and private, as may now exist,

grab in mind. It has been working for both of them because those in power who want to control our lives like Obama and U.N. elitists know only what is reported in summaries of those IPCC reports. Most likely, not one of them has read a full IPCC report. I haven’t either but I have read the thoughts and opinions of the dissenters rather than just dismiss them as lunatics. Here is the major problem. The reports were written by scientists; the summaries were written by political operatives. That is why some scientists, including some of The Deniers, resigned from the tasks of writing the IPCC reports and asked that their names be removed from

the list of contributors to the reports. What was showing up in the summaries was not a correct interpretation of their work. It was politically correct stuff designed to promote the cause of radical, leftist environmentalists. Another huge problem arises from the fact that funding for scientific work has largely passed from private enterprise to the government. If you desire to do legitimate work on climate problems and your funding is allotted by the government, what are your chances of getting a government grant to support your work if you are not singing the government party line on the issue?

DACO Community Foundation Annual Golf Tournament a Huge Success Ar cle by Renee Meents Photos by Cle s McConnell Vede e Reporter

Saturday, September 20, turned out to be the perfect day for the DACO Community Foundation’s Annual Hunger Challenge Golf Tournament. Warm temperatures and a nice breeze added to the enjoyment as 21 golf teams participated in the 3-person scramble held at the Lockwood Golf Course. This year golfers had their choice of morning or afternoon play which added to both the numbers and competition suspense. The teams were divided into two flights based upon their scores with cash prizes awarded for 1st, 2nd. and 3rd place as well as for the longest drive, closest to the pin and longest putt. Flight A winners were: 1st. Bob Smith’s team; 2nd. Rod O’Connor’s team and 3rd. Barney Blakemore’s team. Flight B winners were: 1st. Sherry Stoll’s team, 2nd. Dan Young’s team and 3rd. the team from G & G Small Engine. Jarred O’Connor won the longest drive; Greg Killingsworth the longest putt; and Cody Roller the closest to the pin competition. While the tournament represented a great way to spend a fall day, its real purpose was to raise money for the Walmart Food Challenge benefitting the Dade County Neighborhood Center in Greenfield.

The players move on to the next hole.

Thanks to the generous support of businesses in Dade County and the 64 golfers participating in this year’s tourney, DACO was able to raise $4230.00. This money will be used to fund the Ozark Food Harvest truck which brings food to Dade County families in need and also benefits local food pantries. The OACAC office has written a Walmart food grant and if awarded to them Walmart will match up to $3000.00 from this Hunger Challenge. All money raised from the tournament will be donated to the Neighborhood Center. These proceeds should fund four visits from the Ozark Food Harvest and the grant would pay for three more. The DACO Community Foundation would like to thank the following sponsors of this year’s tournament: Corporate Sponsors:

Greenfield Pharmacy, The Committee to Re-elect Ron Richards, Dr. Malcolm Oliver with the CMH Clinic in Greenfield, Brian Gray with G & G Small Engines in Greenfield, Great Southern Bank, Liberty Bank, and Randy Hester with the National Steel Construction Co.

Wishing you many more together! In Memory: Marsha Murray 10-5-2010, Margaret Decker 10-7-2010, Gary Gabbert 10-8-2010. Gone but not forgotten. Last Sunday night, Dillard & Phyllis Myers, Carol Jones, Patsy Hargis and Bonnie Taylor enjoyed supper out at Cooky's in honor of Bonnie's birthday. Was sorry to get word that Jackie Freeze, 55, formerly of Dadeville, had passed away September 23 after a brave health battle at Barnes Hospital in St. Louis. Jackie is the son of Jack & Lorene Freeze of

Bona and brother to Jay Freeze of Cane Hill. My condolences go out to his family. Also, Juanita White, 96, formerly of Greenfield, passed away last week. Juanita's son, Gary Drysdale, is building a new home east of Greenfield right now. Sympathy to this family also and anyone else who has lost a loved one. Was sorry to hear James Schilling of Lockwood was in a horrible one car accident last week. He is in Mercy Hospital in ICU with severe burns and a serious head injury. James is a brother to Patty Hayes and the father to Wade Schilling who I reported just passed his bar exam. We need to keep him in our prayers. Rod O'Connor made it back from the cancer center with a good report. His cancer had not grown in the last 3 months and they will begin him on a chemo pill. Then, he will go back for a check-up in 6 weeks. Tracy Lollar Mosby, daughter of Cleo Lollar, had some cancer removed and 5% of her kidney last week. She is doing remarkably well and we wish her a speedy recovery. I understand Derek Hurt was bit by a copperhead last week and the good news was it hit his prosthetic foot. Glad to know he is okay and still has a good sense of humor. Little Braydon Holland was one sick boy last week. He had to be rushed to the hospital by ambulance and that sure got Mommy's blood pressure raised. Nothing like a sick child to stress a person out. He ended up with

viral pneumonia and is doing much better now. Jennifer Jones Davis was honored with a baby shower at her work last week and received some wonderful things. I just wanted to go sample all the refreshments they served. Talk about a table of food; now they know what I'm talking about. It looked scrumptious. Cletis & Janice McConnell enjoyed a few days in Branson for their 61st anniversary. One of the highlights was going to Dixie Stampede and I love it, too. Mom & I enjoyed going to the JR. High Boys & Girls Morrisville Basketball Tournament Thursday night to watch Walnut Grove girls and boys both play for 1st place. But, before the Championship games, we watched Morrisville beat Dadeville boys out for 3rd place 3220. Then the girls championship game between Clever and Walnut Grove. It was a tough game and some of the parents got a little rowdy because W.G. girls team mostly consist of 6th graders and Clever was mostly 8th graders. So considering the age difference, W.G. done exceptionally well even though

we lost 49-38. Those scoring for W.G. were: 8th graders, Taylor Dodson 8, Myranda McVay 5, 7th grader-Cortney Stevens 5, 6th gradersFaith Gilkey 8, Makayla McVay 7 & Lauren Johnson 5. Good job, girls!! Boys game between Clever & Walnut Grove was now on and W.G. was ready for vengeance. It was a good close game but W.G. boys was too much for Clever and came out Champions, 51-46. An outstanding game was played by Dawson Meinders who scored 33 points. Other scorers were: 8th graders-Ryan Keith 9 and Austin Morlen 4, 7th grader-Hunter Deckard 2 and 6th grader-Zachary Hejna 3. Congratulations on 1st place Walnut Grove Boys!!! My sister’s, Tassy, two youngest kids play on these teams so you may hear a lot about Walnut Grove this year. Grandson, Jayce Baker, 10, ran in his first 5K Saturday and came in 9th place in his age bracket and 25th over all out of 189 runners. We are very proud of him. David Glenn competed in the Tractor Pull Saturday night at Lock-

wood and came in 4th place in Straight Stock. Way to go, David. I understand his biggest cheerleaders are his two little girls!! Those who enjoyed going to a motorcycle rally this past weekend in Fayetteville, Arkansas, were: Kyle & Tanya Keithley, Steve & Tiffany Lewis and Charles & Angie Shepard. They all reported having a fantastic time and the weather couldn't have been any better. Saturday night, Babette Terhune was honored for her 40 years as administrator for the Greenfield Senior Center. Congratulations!! Bonnie Taylor is a great-grandma again. Don't have all the particulars yet but Isabella Irene was born on September 27 in Idaho. More next week. Cassidy Brown represented Greenfield in the Walnut Festival in Stockton Saturday and won Miss Congeniality. Way to go, Cassidy!! I went and stayed the night with Miss Lucy Fri-

day night and she tried to give me a heart attack Saturday morning. Nothing like going to the bathroom for a few seconds and coming out with no Lucy in sight. Patio door unlocked and yard gates open. I think their neighbors thought a crazy lady was loose screaming. Needless to say, I found her in the next door neighbors’ trying to catch a white cat. This is after I had ran from front to back and getting more scared by the minute. Before I go back, there will be better locks in stalled for Miss Houdini!! I now have lots more gray hair. I haven't had that sick feeling since Tassy's girls were little and disappeared. Don't ever want to have it again. Anyway, everyone have a great week!!

The day's events included a Color Run to benefit Relay for Life, a Baby Show, Animal Show, Quilt Show, Photography Show, and Car Show, all of which

were well attended. September Days guests took in a morning-time parade down Main Street, followed by live entertainment, food, fun and games presented by local civic groups and organizations. Those wishing to do a little shopping were treated to 40 different craft & vendor booths as well as Lockwood's own Main Street merchants. The Optimist Club would like to thank all our sponsors, individuals and organizations who contributed to the event,

and everyone who attended September Days 2014.

Submi ed by: Tory Coleman Greenﬁeld FFA Vice-President

On Saturday August 6, 16 students from the Greenfield FFA Chapter par cipated in the state fall trapshoot at Linn Creek. Both junior high and high school students competed at the shoot. The Greenfield FFA had a total of three full teams of five as well as an individual shooter. Students met at 7am and the first two teams shot at 10:15am. The students who went had a blast! There were many other teams at the trapshoot as well as vendors that were selling tshirts and other souvenirs. Thank you to those who came out and supported our trap team!

ANTIOCH PILGRIM NEWS by Lesia Jones On Friday evening, I ran by Wal-mart and ran in Colt Hawkins and Lucy. She was just talking to her daddy. I walked up behind Colt and Lucy just carried on a conversation with me. I know Colt wondered who was that crazy lady talking to my daughter until he turned around and saw it was family. I told him he will spend a fortune on hair product as her hair is just ringlet of curls and she will cry that she wants straight hair. Good luck, Colt. By the time I got home, Ms. Chloe was there waiting on me. She decided we needed to go out and eat and we did. We needed to paint her finger nails and toes and we did. We needed to watch a girly movie and we did and then what is a movie without popcorn and we did. Kim went hunting when he found out what the evening consisted of. We had a good time. She was also our bed partner and boy, does she snore and turn flip flops in bed. Suzanne and Heidi went and spent weekend with her son. They made a fun little weekend of it. Kim has finished up with the post holes, got them filled in and now it is ready to start stretching the wire. On Friday night, Darren and Sandy Vandegrift spent the night with his mother, Betty Vandegrift. On Saturday, Sandy went to Ash Grove care center to spend time with her mother. On Saturday, Tim and Lynetta Leeper and Darren Vandegrift were at mom’s early and went to

the auctions in town. Jaxon Vandegrift, our newest member, was the apple of everyone’s eye. Poor thing was passed around all evening. Those enjoying the evening were Kim, Lesia Jones; Dustin Jones (Melinda & children at lake); Doug, Betty Vandegrift; Kirk, Jennifer, Taylor, Caden Vandegrift; Jared, Amber, Addy and Jaxon Vandegrift; Linda, Don and Greg Coble; Darren and Sandy Vandegrift; and Lucille Franklin. Mom had a house full. We missed the rest of them, but with a family this big we are going to have to set certain dates. Courtnee Leeper will be starting her new job at the Wal-mart Headquarter in Arkansas on October 13. Wishing her well. Shay Leeper-Kiper and family will be moved into their new home they are building in Texas by Christmas and Jason Leeper has purchased property in Arkansas as this will be a central location for his job. Tim and Lynetta will be doing lots of traveling to see their children. Shelby Vandegrift will graduate as an RN on December 18 and Blake is busy with college and training for his baseball season. Sandy said they are trying to make him gain weight. I don’t have that problem. On Sunday, I worked some more on stripping dressers and old door, Lindsey Julian wedding shower that afternoon. We all voted we should get a new shower after 25 years. Afterward, I visited

Phyllis, Dillard and Carol Jones had taken Bonnie Taylor out for supper at Cooky’s in honor of her birthday that evening, also. Monday night, Carol Jones visited with Kelbey Bowles and ate supper with her and Kelbey painted her nails for her.

David and Tammy Garver celebrated their anniversary in Springfield on Tuesday. He was able to swing by and make a stop as David drives a big truck over the road. Bill Jones and Jerry Jones spent the day with their sister, Wilma and Wayne Mallory on Saturday. They cleaned out her garage and helping her get ready for the winter months coming up. They plan to go back in October and help her some more. Wayne is not able to do hardly anything, so Wilma really appreciated her baby brothers helping her.

Tracy Lasater enjoyed having both her boys home for supper on Wednesday night. Now everything stops when the boys come home. A little empty nest syndrome going on there. Ran into the former Patricia Gilmore at Lowe’s on Thursday night and had a nice little visit. The cashier was laughing when I checked out about us visiting. Remember if you have cotton material, yarn, baskets, clean stuffed animals. these can all be donated to the hospice in Springfield. Also, I am making simple little headbands for the St. Jude Children unit to help keep on their face mask. They need surgical dolls. There are so many that need our prayers. So many battling cancer. Keep them in your prayer. Others recovering from surgery. A simple prayer goes a long way. Have a great week. Boss Day is coming up for you working people. This does not include husbands. Ha!! I have been so lucky for all these years to have such great people to answer to. Not everyone is so lucky.

Dairy Margin-Protection Meetings Will Explain New Farm Bill Safety Net COLUMBIA, Mo.– Dairy producers must decide how much safety net they need and then sign up for the 2014 farm bill program before November 28. Producers can learn the options in a series of meetings and a webinar, says Joe Horner, University of Missouri Extension dairy economist. Five meetings will be in southern Missouri. The farm bill’s new Margin Protection Program replaces MILC (Milk Income Loss Contact). Under the former program there was just one decision, to sign up or not. In MPP, producers must decide on margin level and how much insurance they want to buy. The meeting times and locations are: Oct. 14, 10 a.m.noon, MU Extension

Center, Jackson, Mo. Oct. 15, 1-3 p.m., Park Casino, 101 S. Lincoln, Monett, Mo. Oct. 16, 10 a.m.noon, Park Casino, 101 S. Lincoln, Monett. Oct. 28, 10 a.m.noon, Springfield (Mo.) Livestock Marketing Center, 6821 W. Independence Drive, Springfield. Oct. 29, 10 a.m.noon, Laclede Electric Cooperative meeting room, 5900 Highway 5, Hartville, Mo. Every producer should sign up, unless they are just opposed to government programs, Horner says. With current milk prices, it may not seem like time to buy insurance. “Don’t avoid signing up before the deadline,” Horner says. “Go in well ahead of Thanksgiving.”

Y! HURR THAT TIME

read a speech of Paul to the believers from Ephesus. Paul was on his way to Jerusalem. He knew that by going to Jerusalem he could be captured, arrested, perhaps even killed, but he also know it was God’s will that he go there. He sent for the believers so he could speak to them one more time. He said to them, And now, as a captive to the Spirit, I am on my way to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there, except that the Holy Spirit testifies to me in every city that imprisonment and persecutions are waiting for me. But I do not count my life of any value to myself, if only I may finish my course and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the good news of God's grace (Philippians 1:22-24). Did Paul want to die? I don’t believe so. In other passages he expresses his problem. While he is longing to get to heaven and be with the Lord, he also feels the need and desire to be with his “children” in the faith, to help them find their way in the Christian life (Philippians 1). But yet, he treks toward

Jerusalem anyway. How does this relate to us today? I don’t think any of us is planning to go to West Africa as medical missionaries to treat Ebola patients. And I don’t think any of us is boarding a plane to the Middle East to be in the path of ISIS extremists. What does dying mean to us? Paul uses the term “dying” figuratively and literally. While he knew that he might physically die, he also referred dying as putting aside his own wants and desires to serve the Lord (Romans 8:13). He had found the place in faith where he could place God’s will first, and “die” to his own flesh. Paul decided that each day he would walk the path set before him by God, whatever the result. What in your life have you not “died” to? Is it a person, a possession, a dream? What is the one thing (or maybe more) that is keeping you from living the Christian life as Paul did, being ready each day to put aside those things that keep you from hearing God’s call and serving Him wholeheartedly? We have so much more than

Paul or any of the early believers had. Our brothers in the Middle East today have only their faith. Everything else has been taken away, and yet they still stand and profess Jesus Christ as Lord of their lives. Are you ready to die, perhaps not literally but spiritually, to set aside all the things that keep you from doing God’s will in your life? Have you taken inventory of your life and found that the priorities you cherish are not those that God would have for you, but rather are holding you back from God’s will, from serving Christ effectively? Take some time this week to do a self-evaluation. Pray and ask the Lord to look through your heart and show you what can be left behind, if necessary, so that you can be fully committed to serving God. My prayer this week is that, like the Klingon warriors, you will come to the place where you can proclaim, “Today is a good day to die, and a very good day to live for Christ!” Blessings!

LOCKWOOD NEWS by Retha Jones Yes, this reporter is around. Last week no news, was not a good week for me, health wise. I spent most of the week laying around and finally decided some medication was not agreeing with me. Now I’m better with little strength, I hope will come. I got away from home Wednesday night for the first time to our church supper. Paul and Nancy are here looking after me. Their plans are to return to Anchorage later this month. Now to go back a couple of weeks with my news. I have been told September Days was a huge success, weather wise ideal and there was lots

number 1 in Class 2. Miller is ranked number 6 in Class 1. Look for Lockwood to make the top 10 this week. GREENFIELD: The Wildcats traveled to North Nodaway, a school two miles from the Iowa Missouri border in 8-man play and lost 54-0. This week’s game is at Northwest Hughesville, a school between Warrensburg and Sedalia. They lost to Hardin Central 5814 last week and stand 32. Greenfield will compete in District 1 8man and will be the 5th seed later in October. The Wildcats will also play in the 8-man classification in 2015 according to MSHSSA rules. LOCKWOOD: The Tigers traveled to Pierce City for a SRVC game and came away with 42-6 win over the Eagles to move to 5-0 for the year Lockwood used a mix of passing and running to cage the Eagles Ben Schnelle threw three TD passes, connecting to Thomas Eggerman, Cody St John and Kyle Bouldin. Bouldin had TD runs of 47 and 46 yards and made all 6 pat kicks The Tigers travel to Sarcoxie this week to play the Bears, who lost to Diamond 21-20. Sarcoxie is coached by Luke Rader, a LHS grad. MILLER: The Cardinals celebrated 2014 homecoming with a 66-0 win over Liberal. Miller

roller. Much easier for me to get around. Carl Woods is now convalescing in his home following knee surgery. His progress is good. Myrtle Guinn (Woods) is improving after receiving therapy. THINK ABOUT IT! Before you assume, learn the facts. Before you judge, understand why. Before you hurt someone, feel. Before you speak, think. Paul and Nancy today heard about the earthquake this morning (Thursday) in Anchorage. No major damage, I would not want to be in one. Sunday afternoon corn maze at the Hawks farm was great, lots of fun by all. The Evermons all went out and had lots of fun. How nice to have something, 10 acres, like that close to Lockwood. We do appreciate and thank the Hawks for their thoughtfulness and work. Weather has been ideal.

If someone were to ask you what the greatest distinguishing quality of Christianity is, what would you say? Jesus said in John 13:35 “By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.” The greatest distinguishing quality of every Christian is the love they display. This is strongly emphasized in I Corinthians 13 where Paul makes the case that without love our lives are vanity—that is empty, worthless. With love they have value and worth. The primary reason we show love is because of God’s love for us. 1 John 4:11 says, “Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.” This love is not the type of love the world often gives or pur-

sues. True love is the willing sacrificial giving of one’s self for the benefit of others without thoughts of return. So with this in mind, in the month of October, FBC is participating in what is known as “Love Works Month”. Throughout the month, the church is being challenged to engage in group projects to show love in the community. Some of the loving actions that will be done include helping the elderly clean up their yards, a free car wash, and free hot cocoa at October Fest. In addition, members of FBC are being challenged on an individual basis and as families to do loving actions as they are in their neighborhoods, local places of business, and communities. We want to let our community know that we

care about them. We hope that as we share the love of Christ through intentional loving actions that others will come to experience the love that only Jesus Christ can give through his sacrificial death upon the cross. Romans 5:8 says, “But God commendeth his love toward us in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us.” Love truly does work when it follows the example of the One who gave the greatest demonstration of love of all time.

Stockton Man Receives Minor Injuries In Vehicle Rollover By Cle s McConnell Vede e Reporter

A 17-year-old Stockton man received minor injuries at 6:30 p.m. Saturday, in a one-vehicle crash on MO 39, one mile south of Arcola in Dade County. “Cole L. Allenbrand

was southbound in a 1995 Honda Civic when he failed to negotiate a corner, ran off the east side of the roadway, struck an embankment and overturned,” the Missouri State Highway reports. “Allenbrand was not

wearing a safety device.” Mike’s Towing of Stockton towed the vehicle. Investigating the accident was Trooper J. Bryant May of the Missouri State Highway Patrol.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT by Bill Head I couldn’t help but notice how often Colin Powell’s famous statement to George Bush regarding the Iraq invasion keeps being repeated in the news and in print media. The words “If you break, you own it” are re-

peated constantly. I don’t think any amount of conversation will change the situation. Let’s face it and be honest about it. It was a big mistake to remove a horrible dictator only to have him replaced by thousands

of idiots! Face facts. There were no weapons of mass destruction and most of us alive today will not live enough to see Iraq stabilized as a viable society. There will be many who will go to their grave believing the war was about “Daddy and Oil”. There will be others who read “Fortunate Son” and some of the quotes such as the one made to Al Hunt of the Wall Street Journal by Bush in 1988. If those who read “Fortunate Son” are honest with themselves, they have to have a negative feeling about Bush as President or as a human being!
