Ash Grove Annual Fish Fry Draws Largest Crowd Ever Submi ed by Mary Ann Dixon Administrator Photos by Cle s McConnell Vede e Reporter

The Ash Grove Sunshine Center’s 12th Annual All-You-Can-Eat Fish Fry was held on Saturday, October 4, 2014 and was a huge success.

Approximately 400 people enjoyed the delicious fish dinner, making it the biggest crowd ever.

Thanks to Larry and Justin Kenney for bringing the pots and leading all the other volunteers in frying up the good food.

Some of the Ash Grove football boys came to lend a hand with the fundraiser, along with other outside crew of John Goddard, Richard Wells, Gayer Dixon, Sway Kenney (aka Curly Fry Princess) and Audrey Dixon-Glenn (aka Hushpuppy Queen).

Many volunteers kept the inside jobs flowing for the huge crowd. Huge thanks goes to all for their hard work.

Special thanks go out to Freedom Bank, Old Missouri Bank and Foxfire Mini Storage/Mega Suds Carwash for donations to cover the cost of the fish.

“I couldn’t believe the continuous line out the

“Several folks suggested we have more than one fish fry a year. That would be nice, but it’s a lot of hard work and requires a lot of volunteers.

However, we are open to the idea. We’ll have to see about next year.”

A portion of the proceeds go to the Southwest Missouri Office On Aging

Immanuel LWML met in the meeting room on Thursday, October 2, 2014.

Kaylyn Wehrman, president, presided over evening’s events which started at 7 p.m.

The theme for the 2014 year has been Carry His Light.

Pastor Griffin opened with prayer and then the group sang the hymn, Come Follow Me The Savior Spake. The members will be singing this hymn in both services on October 5, LWML Sunday.

Sharon Abbiatti, Christian Life Committee, presented the opening devotion, How Bright Is Your Light. She mentioned several different lights are used: they flicker, they are shining beacons, they light up a dark room. We need to work as a light in a dark world and shine brightly.

Everyone enjoyed the delicious apple cake topped with whipped topping and the various additional fruits and nuts.

Pumpkins decorated the plates and napkins.

As Sharon played the LWML song, the members brought forth their mites and offerings and placed them in the big mite box.

Betty Pugh read a short devotion about light showing in a dark place: Jesus is our light.

Present for the meeting were 26 members and Pastor Griffin. Beth Mehl, secretary, read the minutes and correspondence. In the absence of Patti Hayes, treasurer, Beth also read the treasurer’s report.

Circle reports were given by Esther, Hannah, Mary and Dorcas. Other committee reports were delivered, also.

Of interest was that a huge cake decorated with fire truck and other decorations were enjoyed by all the firemen and their wives when they were served the meal in August.

The Zone Executive Board will meet on October 11 with Kaylyn, Anita, Jane and Doris attending for our

organization.

For LWML Sunday on October 5, yellow and purple mums will be on display as well as beautiful narthex display. Bows will mark pews where the LWML members will sit to sing their song.

The Zone rally will be held at Monett on November 1 with Phil and Carrie Hedemann presenting the program on Indonesia.

The Esther Circle is initiating a Young Women and Mothers Bible Study and hope to invite all the younger ladies of the congregation.

Over 100 cards were sent in 2014.

The LWML Prayer Chain has been updated and Linda Schilling was thanked for her many hours as chairman as were several other ladies for their leadership this past year and certainly everyone was thanked for all their support.

Several prayer shawls had been distributed and the quilting group had made and distributed at Good

Shepherd lap robes and are planning to make chair holders also for them.

The nominating committee of Anita, Eloise and Robin presented the slate of new officers which were elected: President, none yet; vice president, Sharon Abbiatti; secretary, Karen Hayes; treasurer, Florence Clark; member-at-large, Linda Thieman.

The updated by-laws, presented by Natalie Wehrman and Jane Mayden at the July meeting, were again distributed and suggestions were made, then adopted as amended.

Sheets for committee chairmen were passed around for the 2015 year.

The president thanked the Hannah Circle for serving as host that evening.

The group sang a hymn, accompanied by Pastor Griffin.

The 2014 officers were given a round of applause for their service and the group departed after a long meeting.

Florence Siders of Greenfield celebrated her 87th birthday on Thursday, September 25, with many friends, neighbors and her daughter, Linda,

All enjoyed cake, punch and Florence at the piano.

Happy birthday, Florence. May you have many more.

Letter To The Editor Dear Editor, It has been a couple of weeks since I saw the discussion of Greenfield not being able to suit up a full 11-man football team as there was a shortage of players due to school enrollment and/or saving themselves for basketball.

That was disheartening news as I have very fond memories of playing sports for the Wildcats which helped me further my sports career later in college (basketball and track) as well into the value of teamwork and “give it your best.”

In looking back, football gave me and team a higher degree of physical and mental toughness which as you know, we carried over into our basketball play and record.

Yes, football may have a higher risk of injury (collarbone and knee for me), but I would do it all over again as I feel I let my teammates down in pursuing the W - win.

As I moved into playing college basketball (and still do play), I truly believe that my football participation help me develop skills (physical and mental) that clearly gave me an advantage when playing against “just basketball players” as they are not use to the contact and other little things one can do to throw their game off.

As a few others in Greenfield have also expressed their memories of the Wildcat Blue, I would hope that the kids would

rethink their participation in any sports, as it builds character and a higher appreciation for teamwork which will definitely carry forward into the rest of their life (family, friends, work).

I really appreciate the coaching that Coach Jackson, Coach Phillips and Coach Dykens gave me early in my life as it helped me set a bar of success/goals which I still use daily.

Thanks, Jeff Lewis Jeff Lewis is a 1974 graduate of Greenfield High School. He participated in football, track and basketball for four years. He played college basketball at the University of Missouri at Rolla, Missouri.

He graduated with a civial engineering degree and is employed by the United Stated Federal Highway Administration and works in Sacramento, California.

MT. VERNON, Mo. The Missouri Feedout program is designed to let herd owners learn about their cattle's strengths and weaknesses. It also helps producers determine if their cattle are ready for programs like Missouri's Quality Beef by the numbers, Certified Angus Beef and other branded programs.

Sign-Up Underway The 2014-15 Feedout sign-up is underway with an Oct. 10 deadline. Eligible steer calves are those born after Jan. 1, 2014. The collection of calves for shipment to Iowa takes place Nov. 4. The TriCounty Steer Carcass Futurity Cooperative requests those calves be weaned by Sept. 20.

Pickup points will be at Joplin Regional Stockyards, Carthage, Paris Veterinary Clinic, Paris and a possible location in the northwest part of the state.

Other loading points could be set if they have a scale, working chute and an opportunity to have a Missouri livestock market reporter place grades and values on them.

"The entire program is educational for calf owners, extension specialist and anyone who follows the program. Participants this year will be able to receive a $400 per head cash advance if they enter 10 or more calves," said Cole.

Greenfield School District Wellness Center Has Group Bike Ride

Submi ed by Pat Davis

On September 21st, the Wellness Center sponsored the first group event of the school year with a bicycle ride on the Frisco Highline Trail.

The group met at the Willard Trailhead and biked down to the Springfield Trailhead for

a roundtrip total of 12 miles.

Those in attendance enjoyed a beautiful fall day with blue skies, sunshine and plenty of multicolored fall leaves to crunch through.

A special thanks goes out to the administration who participated, Mr.

Davis and Mr. Hinsley for proving that leadership goes above and beyond the day to day tasks of running a school.

Also, a shout out for our youngest rider, 10 year old Reece Hinsley who kept up with all of us and rode the entire distance.

Stockton Lake Bass Tournament Submi ed by Becky Minor

Mark Moody and Becky Minor smashed the competition Saturday, September 27 in the MOBTT season’s final tournament.

MOBTT is a team trail tournament circuit with five regular tournaments held on Stockton Lake and Pomme de Terre Lake.

Moody and Minor won the first tournament last March on Stockton and the next one in April on Pomme de Terre. They finished the season strong with their win on Stockton September 27.

“Fishing was slow today,” said Moody.

“There was no wind and the lake had dropped a little, which affected the places we expected to catch fish.”

The pair had only five keeper bites and they put all five of them in the boat. The 1st bite came on a small worm using a Trokar 3/0 hook and was

MY TURN by Bob Jackson OLD FOLKS Two guys: one old, one young are pushing the carts around Target when they collide.

The old guy says to the young guy, “Sorry about that. I am looking for my wife and wasn’t paying attention to where I was going.”

The young guy says, “That is okay, because I am looking for my wife too.’

The old guy says, “Well, maybe I can help you find her. What does she look like?”

The young guy says, “Well, she is 27 years old, tall, red-headed, blue eyes, is buxom, long legs and is wearing shorts. What does your wife look like?”

look for YOURS.” MISSOURI WISDOM In Cole Camp, Missouri, there is a large German speaking population. One day, a local rancher driving down a lane to his farm saw a man using his hand to drink water from the rancher’s pond.

The rancher rolled down his window of his truck and shouted, “Freut mich Sie zu sehen! Trinken Sie nicht das Wasser, Die kuhe haben hinein geschissen.”

Which means “Glad to see you. Don’t drink the water. The cows have pooped in it.”

The man shouted back, “I am from New York City and I am down here campaiging for tighter gun

control laws. I can’t understand you. Please speak in English.”

The rancher replied, “I said use both hands to quench your thirst.”

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DOGS AND CATS AND CHILDREN 1. Eat less.

CHAOS IN THE U.S. IS ON PURPOSE

By Henry McBride

Both good and bad news has been reported during the last week.

Attorney General Eric Holder resigned.

Good news!

Obama will appoint someone just like him and Dems in the Senate will rush the nomination through without due consideration if they can. Bad news!

A lot of ink is being wasted trying to convince us that Holder was either a good AG or that his tenure was such a mixture of achievement and failure that we can’t evaluate it now.

Nonsense! So I choose not to waste any more ink than I already have on Mr. Holder.

The immigration fiasco continues. This trav-

esty, tragedy is on Democrats who have refused to consider any meaningful reforms of our immigration laws. Apparently, we can’t have valid immigration reform and retain the ability of Dems to convince uninformed illegals of their need to mark a ballot they can’t read. It’s easy, just mark one name in each division of the column under the picture of the donkey.

The worst part is that Dems, through the press, have tried to pass off current immigration activities as being like the huge immigration of 100 to 125 years ago. The two situations are vastly different.

In the earlier wave of immigration, immigrants were mostly Europeans who came to America to be Americans. They re-

spected our borders and laws because they wanted to be Americans, to contribute to America’s future. They were willing to learn the language, to work within the system, to have their festivals as remembrances and celebrations of their previous life, but they were willing to let that previous life go in order to be Americans.

Many made huge contributions to our society.

That was long before the days of political correctness, but the immigration system seemed to work pretty well until p.c. came along.

That changed everything in regard to immigration. Immigrants are now encouraged to retain their native languages.

Sure, we will require local governments to print bal-

lots in 65 different languages if you don’t want to learn English so you can be a contributing member of society, said the feds, through legislation and the courts.

Immigrants are now encouraged to retain their native holidays and customs, not as remembrances and celebrations but to make America as much like their native land as they can, to retain their patriotism to their native land.

It takes a long time and a lot of effort to become a legal American citizen under current law. Those who choose to achieve American citizenship and have the opportunity to become contributing members of society are insulted by the Dems insistence that illegal

lawbreakers should obtain immediate citizenship via some form of “amnesty.”

Now we have the revelation that Obama has said he will grant “amnesty” to 150,000 Syrians. I wonder how many of those will be donated to us via ISIS. We already have pictures from a Houston, Texas, suburb of men wearing hoodies, masks and black robes with Arabic writing on them.

My opinion is that the President, every member of Congress who refuses to secure our borders, and every judge who helps keep illegal immigration going should be impeached or otherwise removed from office via elections. I won’t hold my breath.

Greene County authorities said that about 7:30 p.m. Monday, September 29, Lurleen Pendergrass, 48, was found dead in the 600 block of Pershing Street, Willard and was believed to have been shot by her estranged husband.

While investigating her death, deputies had learned about 10 p.m.

that her husband, Todd Pendergrass, 48, had shot himself in Dade County.

Greene County Sheriff Jim Arnott said that Todd Pendergrass had call his daughter, telling her what he had done and later was to meet his brother near Everton.

Todd Pendergrass was found on a road about five miles east of

Everton. He had gone to that location to meet his brother who tried to take the gun from him but Todd was able to gain control of the weapon and fatally shoot himself.

Gone but never forgotten.

Jay & Jamie Baker of K.C., Missouri, are happy to announce the arrival of a baby girl, Julianna Marie Baker, who arrived at 10:51 pm on September 29th. Little Julianna tipped the scales at 6 lb. 13.2 oz and was 18 3/4 inches long. This makes a total of 9 grandchildren for Rick & I, 5 boys & 4 girls. Aunt Jackie Gott went to K.C. last week to spoil Julianna and spend time with her brother, Jay & Jamie.

Speaking of parents, Jonny Gray and Lisa Clabough will be welcoming a new bundle of joy in February. Congratulations.

Tyler Daniel and Lacey Fox tied the knot on October 3rd. They will be celebrating with family & friends this weekend. Congratulations to the newlyweds!

James Schilling update: James had a tracheotomy done and is breathing without the ventilator now. His tube that drained the fluid off his brain has been removed and he opened his eyes

slightly several times Sunday morning. Keep James in your prayers as he still has a long ways to go.

Last Sunday, Rick's folks, Jim & Barbara Baker, James Baker & Skyler Baker met us for lunch at the Backwoods. We had a good meal and Barbara enjoyed seeing Anita Baldwin and Janice McConnell.

Former GHS graduate, Rita Matthews, had hip surgery on August 28th and went home the next day. She is now back to work and walking with no pain.

Cindy Bryant had some out patient surgery a couple of weeks ago and had to go back to the hospital due to an infection.

She is now home but can't lift anything over 5 lbs. so Ann Stephens is staying with her to help with the baby which weighs lots more than 5 lbs. I know Grandma Ann is loving to take care of her granddaughter.

Last Wednesday, four trailers of horse riders took off for their yearly ride in Emenence, MO. I didn't go this year due to needing to do my fall cleaning. I can get so much more done when Rick isn't around.

Those who did enjoy going were: Duke Atkisson, Rick Baker, Richard & Tammy McMasters and Earl & Pat Killingsworth.

Last Thursday, I was surprised to get a visit from Betsy "Netzer" and she treated me to breakfast after her dentist appointment. We talked non stop until she left at 12:30. We had so much fun and we have to make plans to do it again soon. Betsy lives over by Sheldon and works in Nevada. They are excited about being grandparents again soon.

My mother is having some trouble with her eyes and had to go to the doctor last Thursday. Her blood pressure was up so that may contribute to her eyes but she will be going to the eye doctor soon.

I know some of you will remember Sissy "Claxton" Kahl. She has left Mercy hospital and is beginning a new career with Springfield Skilled Care Center & The Lodges. We wish her the best.

Our family was saddened with the news that Jack Myers passed away late Friday night at the Greenfield Nursing Home.

Jack leaves behind his two sons, Mike & Jackie, along with their families and friends. His service will be Tuesday morning with burial at Daughtery Cemetery.

The news of Todd & Lurleen Pendergrass's deaths was a shock and tragedy last week. Lurleen "Pierce" was a 1984 GHS graduate. She was the daughter of former GHS Elementary custodians, Parley & Sandra Pierce.

Todd is the son of Charley Pendergrass & Nancy "Long". They leave behind two children and many friends and family. We need to keep this family in our thoughts and prayers for they have many rough days ahead and I want to extend the deepest sympathy to them all.

Last Thursday night, Mom & I went to another Walnut Grove ballgame against Humansville. Both games were won by the Walnut Grove Junior High teams. Scoring were: Dawson M. 24, Ryan K. 13, Zachary H. 7, Hunter D. 7, Austin M. 4 & Rylee G. 2.

Girls: Faith G. 11, Taylor D. 10, Cortney S. 10, Makayla Mc. 7, Lauren J. 7, Myranda Mc. 6, Sadye C. 5, Angel R. 3 & Morgan H. 2.

Little Lucy Poirot had her first miss hap when she fell into the coffee table and split her forehead open over the weekend.

She had to be rushed to CMH and glued back together. She seems to have faired thru it all pretty good.

Katy "McMasters" has been here visiting family & friends this past week.

They had a get together for her and all three of her children, Randy, Cheryl & Clayton and families over the weekend.

Amanda Crutcher enjoyed a baby shower over the weekend for her upcoming bundle which will be here in about 6 weeks.

Everyone have a great week & enjoy this beautiful weather we are having.

Greenfield delega on at Youth In Agriculture Submi ed by Kyle Spradley Strategic Communica ons Associate College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources University of Missouri

MOUNT VERNON, Mo. – On Sept. 11, 2014 the Southwest Research Center hosted more than 2,100 students from 49 schools across southern Missouri during the annual Agriculture Education Day. The educational event at the center in Mount Vernon operated by the College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources (CAFNR) at the University of Missouri has become an annual event as a chance to get youth interested in agriculture and aware of the possibilities out there in natural resources.

More than 40 guest speakers welcomed students to stops located across the center. Speakers included MU experts, Missouri Department of

Conservation biologists, researchers, MU and Lincoln University extension specialists and area industry professionals.

Presentations included information on livestock production, wildlife habitat restoration, nut and fruit production, forestry, weather, gardening and what opportunities are available after high school. Other talks included awareness of where their food comes from, drinking water contaminants, electrical safety, native edibles and the benefits of insects in the landscape.

A favorite of many featured a demonstration of an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) by Hundley-Whaley Research Center Superintendent Bruce Burdick.

“Everyone was really amazed by this new technology,” added Burdick.

“It’s incredible to see what the future holds for

these new tools in agriculture. I think it will lead to a lot more jobs and opportunities for our youth in the future.”

“Our biggest goal in agriculture right now should be education,” stressed David Cope, new superintendent of Southwest Research Center.

“We need to get people out to our farms and see where their food comes come. And if we are able to increase the profile of the Southwest Research Center, then we might be able to influence more kids to go to college or be involved in agriculture.”

Gordon’s Feed and Pet Holds Checkerboard 2014 Submi ed by Gordon’s Feed and Pet Photos by Cle s McConnell Vede e Reporter

The second annual Checkerboard Days at Gordon’s Feed and Pet, Greenfield, was held Saturday, September 13. It was a huge success, thanks to our customers.

Not to be confused with customer appreciation day that we have in the fall, Checkerboard Days is a day set aside to showcase Purina Mills feed products and to offer these products at a discount to our customers.

Purina was established in 1894 by an innovative man, William Danforth. Danforth saw a need for better quality feed than what was available at the time.

He developed a special feed for mules and draft horses that were pulling barges up the Mississippi River into the ports

at St. Louis.

The Omolene horse feed was made and the superior quality helped the mules and horses have more energy and stamina. Omolene horse feeds are still in production today.

The famous Purina Checkers we all know and recognize as quality was put on all the Purina feed sacks to help make them stand out from other plain sacks of the time.

Later, the checkers would be squeezed down to the nine checkerboard square we know today.

Danforth had a surreal sense of quality, dignity and constantly strived for something better. His motto and belifed were in the areas of physical, mental, social and religious. He believed if a person can excel at those four things then you would have success in life.

William Danforth might be

Zeke Sayre, manager, waits on a customer.

dead and gone but his strong ethics carry on today in each sack of feed that Purina produces.

Purina Mills is the only feed company in the nation to have its own research farm.

This research farm, started

by Danforth, is a 1200-acre fully functional farm with beef cattle, dairy cattle, hog, horse and poultry units.

The feed that is sold at Gordon’s Feed and Pet is all tested and developed at the research farm.

It is no secret that Purina Feed isn’t always going to be the cheapest cost per bag or ton. However, can you put a price on quality?

Checkerboard Days is held to showcase Purina Feeds and Gordon’s Feed and Pet fea-

Sarah Abbo , FFA supervisor, and her helpers serves a delicious meal to customers.

Letter to Editor:

tures them everyday.

We love to see new faces walk in the door and we would love to tell you all about what Purina can do for your operation, no matter how big or how small.

We would like thank the Greenfield FFA for cooking lunch and to all those who supported them.

We also thank the band of Brad Carter, Kenson Ashtona nd The Original Mike Clayton for a great job.

Most of all thanks to our customers for supporting us as without all of you we wouldn’t be here.

Gordon’s Feed and Pet is open Monday-Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and on Saturdays, 8 a.m. to noon. Give us a call at 417637-2730 with any question.

NRA-Never Re-Elect Anybody

Dear Editor, What do you think of cockroaches? They all came in higher in popularity than congress in a recent poll.

“Congress shall make no law” are the first five words of the First Amendment to the Constitution. I think that’s all our current congress critters ever read.

Sure, they have voted to repeal Obamacare 52 times.

Sure, they voted to shut down the government, again.

Sure, they voted to put taxes on Internet sales.

Sure, they enacted another budget continuing resolution, but they haven’t passed an actual budget in years.

Congress has been in session eight days since the first of July. They don’t plan to meet again until after the election in

November.

They only have passed 165 laws this year and 30 were ceremonial naming post offices, etc.

The least in the history of the United States.

We pay these people a lot of money and they spend their time raising money and running for office.

Right now, they go on Fox News to complain the president needs their permission to bomb ISIS. If we wait for them to act, ISIS may be in Florida or Texas. (I don’t think they would fight for New York or California.)

There’s an easy answer to this.....NRA: Never Re-elect Anybody....in any party. We need term limits.

Missouri has them at the state level.

We need to stop gerrymandering where there are safe districts where the incumbent is forever.

We need them at the federal level.

A constitutional convention is in order, but to paraphrase the Declaration of Independence, “we will endure,” until it becomes un-endurable.

Soybeans Maturing, Wheat Planting Can Begin Soon LAMAR, Mo. -- Jill Scheidt, agronomy specialist with University of Missouri Extension in Barton County, scouted fields northeast of Lamar, near town, Oct. 1 for the MU Extension crop scouting program While scouting, Scheidt observed that soybeans are in the full seed to beginning maturity stages.

“Leaves of first crop beans are turning and some are dropping. Seeds

are beginning to turn.

Second crop beans are at full seed and should begin to turn in the next couple weeks as well.

Half the pods I have seen around area fields have two seeds and half have three seeds; very few have more than that, but the seeds are not small,” said Scheidt.

Scheidt warns farmers to not plant wheat until after Oct. 10 if their land is south of the Vernon County line. If the

land is in Vernon or north, plant wheat after Oct. 6 and if it is south of Jasper County plant after Oct. 14.

“These are the Hessian-fly-free dates. If you plant wheat before, Hessian flies are likely to lay eggs in emerging wheat crops. If eggs are laid, they will cause stunting, severe yield loss and in severe cases, plant death in wheat,” said Scheidt.

First Christian Church Holds Annual Picnic

By Cle s McConnell Vede e Reporter

The First Christian Church of Greenfield held their annual picnic on Sunday afternoon, September 28, with a large crowd in attendance.

The Dalton Gang provided music that was enjoyed by all. Other entertainment included a

bounce house, horse rides and games of all kinds for all ages.

Lots of hot dogs with all the trimmings were served and all left with full tummies, light hearts and fond memories.

A special invitation to you to come each Sunday morning for messages by Minister Scott Houston.

Children enjoyed riding horses and playing in the bounce house.

Wheat Prep Tips Include Paying A en on to Hessian Flies LAMAR, Mo. -- Jill Scheidt, agronomy specialist with University of Missouri Extension in Barton County, scouted fields southwest of Lamar, north of 126 and I49, Sept. 24 for the MU Extension crop scouting program While scouting she observed that soybeans are in the full seed to be-

ginning maturity stages.

Scheidt also observed septoria (identified by brown lesions on the leaves) in all fields.

“Septoria is unlikely to cause enough yield damage to warrant a fungicide application at this point. It is no longer economical to apply fungicides or insecticides once soybeans are past the

seed development stage because the cost of application would outweigh the benefit of the pesticide treatment,” said Scheidt.

Scheidt warns to not plant wheat until after Oct. 10 if you are south of the Vernon County line; if in Vernon or north, plant wheat after Oct. 6. “These are the Hessian-fly-free dates. If you plant wheat before, Hessian flies are likely to lay eggs in emerging wheat crops. If eggs are laid, they will cause severe yield loss in wheat,” said Scheidt.

Winter annual weeds such as henbit, chick-

weed, garlic and perennial ryegrass should be controlled in order to establish a competitive wheat stand. Winter annual weeds reduce wheat yields by an estimated 10 percent each year. “I recommend burning down weeds before planting to promote stronger stands and plants,” said Scheidt.

Fertilization should take place during planting time in wheat. “A small application of nitrogen, such as 20 pounds nitrogen/ acre is recommended to ensure good fall growth. Phosphorus should also be added if soil tests indicate less

than 45 pounds/acre of phosphorus in the soil.

Phosphorus aids wheat in winter hardiness,” said Scheidt.

MORE INFORMATION The weekly field scouting report is sponsored by University of Missouri Extension and Barton County Extension.

For more information on this scouting report, or to learn how to receive it a week earlier by telephone, contact the MU Extension Center in Barton County, (417) 6823579.

Just like a lot of other things, seniors’ Medicare Part D prescription coverage deserves an annual review, and that time is coming.

From Oct. 15 to Dec. 7, people with Medicare prescription coverage will be able to compare the drug plans that are available for 2015 and change to a different one as they see fit.

Each year, insurance companies contract with Medicare to offer prescription coverage for its enrollees. Even if you already are signed up and are satisfied with your company, it’s smart to compare plans yearly to make sure that the medications you rely on are still covered and that the plan you are enrolled in will still offer you the best and most affordable coverage, said Rona McNally, Director of Special Projects for Care Connection for Aging Services.

Care Connection will offer one-on-one, unbiased enrollment help at its 22 senior centers and at the central office in Warrensburg through Dec. 7.

Call Care Connection at 1-800-748-6826 or email information@goaging.org to find out when and where our professionals will be in your area or to schedule an appointment. People should bring a list of their medicines, including the strength and the dosage of each one.

Care Connection for Aging Services is a nonprofit agency serving 13 counties in West Central Missouri -- including Bates, Benton, Carroll, Cedar, Chariton, Henry, Hickory, Johnson, Lafayette, Pettis, Saline, St. Clair and Vernon.

Its mission is to provide resources and services that empower people to create healthy aging experiences.

His proud mom is Cathy Harrington and grandma Peggy Jones, all of Greenfield.

Well, what a surprise when I read in Carmen Baker news that Ms. Eggerman is having twins.

That is my Wade’s teacher. Boy, won’t this be fun. At Grandparents day, I ask Wade when his teacher was going to have her baby and he replied I don’t know do you think she is going to have one, not one but two. Best of luck to these lucky parents.

On Saturday, Suzanne Steeley, daughter, Lauren Steeley, attended the Fair Grove Craft Fair. After spending some money there, they headed to Springfield to do some shopping. It was a full day arriving at home well past the evening meal.

On Tuesday evening, I ran into Helen MooreNashboo three daughters, Kay, Mary and Patsy. They were going to see their mother in the hospital. Suzanne Steeley had told me that her son, Bobby, reported she was in the hospital running tests. It was good to visit with the girls for a short while. Made me think of us when all of us girls get together. Always have a

good time.

Our deepest sympathy to all the families and friends in the tragic deaths of Todd and Sandra Pendergrass. Our most heartfelt sympathy to each one of them. I know we all have them in our prayers at this time. We just don’t have the words to say to make the pain go away, but with God’s comforting warmth may He embrace each and every one of them.

I just found out from our Mercy Hospice that they will finish up with their baskets and go to Mercy bags, BUT they still need yarn, cotton material and batting. All your donations are really appreciated.

Sympathy to the families of Gladys Mallory. A lot of you would remember Gladys helping and working at the school for years. She could tell some funny stories. I always drove by her road and wondered how she traveled that lane in the rain, mud and snow. She is in a good place now.

This rain has been a blessing and we have all enjoyed it. Wishing everyone a great week.

EBENEZER PRESBYTERIAN

Mary K. Glunt

Pastor Ebenezer Presbyterian Church P.O. Box 393 Greenfield, MO revmkg@sbcglobal.net

Join us at Ebenezer Presbyterian, Main and Garrett Streets, at 1:30 p.m. next Wednesday, 10/15, for our monthly movie. This month we will be viewing the movie “Esther,” the story of the young girl who saved her people.

Hope to see you there.

We’ve all heard the story of the blind men who encountered an elephant. They had never seen an elephant and wondered what it might be like. Each of the men “explored” a different part of the creature to determine what this animal was.

The first blind man touched the leg and proclaimed, “It is like a pillar!” The second man located the tail and determined, “It is like a rope!” The third touched the side of the elephant and was sure it was like a wall. Likewise, the fourth felt the trunk and stated, “No, it is like the heavy branch of a tree.” The fifth touched the ear and decided it was like a large hand fan, and the sixth felt the tusk and asserted, “It is like a solid pipe.” The men argued for some time as to which was right,

Finding God’s Perspective

until another, a sighted man, came along. He listened to their wrangling for a while until he finally spoke up.

“You are all right, you see. You each touched a different part of the same animal.”

Perspective, or the lack of it, has been the cause of many broken relationships and broken lives. Without a proper perspective we cannot see the proverbial forest for the trees.

The blind men’s perspective was limited to what they first experienced with their hands when approaching the elephant. They were each so sure they had found the truth that they stopped looking and argued with one another. We, on the other hand, each have our own perspective of life and truth, often based on our experiences, and that perspective limits our growth and constrains our ability to find peace with others.

One of the most important perspectives we need to consider is God’s perspective.

God states through Isaiah, “For my thoughts are not your thoughts,

neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. 9 “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.” (Isaiah 55:8-9, NIV). Most of the trouble Jesus had with the religious leaders came back to this idea, that they had a different perspective and didn’t understand Jesus’ thoughts. They had flat thinking: this is the rule and so that is what we will do. However, Jesus was thinking with an eternal, heavenly perspective, seeing what good he could do when he healed the lame man on the Sabbath, etc.

Where in your life are you being held back by a narrow perspective? The point is not to ignore what you know to be true, or to turn away from Scripture because you want a broader perspective.

That is not my suggestion in any way! However, there are times when we must examine our lives, our ideas, our perspectives, to see if we are truly looking at the individual trees instead of stepping

back to see the forest.

Paul and Barnabas had such a situation.

Mark had accompanied them on a previous journey but had left them when the going got too rough.

Now, preparing to embark on a second missionary journey, Barnabas wanted to take Mark once again, but Paul refused. This disagreement was so profound that the pair split up, with Paul and another partner going one way, and Barnabas and Mark going another. Mark was older and able to continue on the journey this time.

However, Paul’s limited perspective concerning Mark split up the missionary team.

Paul may have learned his lesson before writing the letter to the Romans, as he states, “Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position. Do not be conceited (Romans 12:16). He goes on to state, “If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone” (verse 18).

I’m sure if Paul

looked at the church today, with all of our arguments, posturing, and theological differences, he would have something strong to say. But instead, each of us has felt a different part of the elephant and, therefore, is determined that our approach to faith is the only perspective that exists. It is time for the church universal to be so, and for the people inside each of its partitions to learn to love one another and to learn from one another.

I’m not asking you to forego your theological distinctives but, rather, to find a place of peace with your brothers and sisters in faith, with your family members, with your neighbors, where God can bring you together.

Step back from that tree that you have been examining to catch the wonder of the forest.

Step back from your plans and ideas to be able to see God’s plans and ideas and the wonder of His creation and inspiration in those who call on His name.

Blessings!

LOCKWOOD NEWS

by Retha Jones One of my few outings was Friday when Nancy and I took my news to the Vedette.

From there we took a drive of the country.

Don’t we live in a beautiful country?

And Saturday afternoon, another outing for me, Paul, Nancy and I attended Stockton Fall Festival. I was in a wheelchair and we had a good place to watch the parade. Their parade was great and had many school bands.

Lockwood band received 2nd place. They looked so sharp. Congratulations to them.

There were some bands from the other side of Springfield. And candy was thrown from floats, etc., like Christmas. It was a great parade.

My niece from Halfway had a booth of some crafts, mostly things raised. She gave me a peanut pumpkin. It looks like anything but a pumpkin.

I did not feel up to going to church Sunday.

Nancy said the special music was by Sam Watts, who played the guitar, the school’s music teacher played the French horn and Connie Hensley sang a solo.

Sunday afternoon, the new food pantry was dedicated with a nice attendance.

Madge Thompson is dealing with health problems. Do keep her in your prayers.

Loraine Sands is recovering quite well from recent knee replacement.

She now has two new knees.

Monday, Nancy and Paul left to spend a few days with daughter, Lorie and grandsons in Shawnee, Kansas. While here, Paul is painting the paneling in my dining room. Remember years back when paneling was so popular. It does paint well.

I continue to have some health problems.

My elbow is quite painful, even with pain pills. Plans are to check

with a bone specialist this Friday afternoon. I am gradually getting some strength back; too slow for me.

Lockwood United Methodist Women met Wednesday night at The Crossing.

Stephanie Obert, president, conducted the business meeting. Kathy Davidson and Rebecca Cossins hosted the meeting.

“How We Can Help Others” was theme presented by Kathy. Tornado warnings seemed to affect attendance. Delicious refreshments and good fellowship was enjoyed by all.

The Depot at The Crossings on Main Street is now open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 3:15-5 p.m. or so for middle and high school youth who need or want to place to stay before the bus leaves or the home games starts.

The following was submitted by Natalie Wehrman.

Stephanie van Ulft arrived for a short visit in her mother’s, Natalie Wehrman, home on Thursday, October 2.

Friday, October 3, the two ladies drove to

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

by Bill Head Carthage where Stephanie enjoyed the art gallery and crafts of a downtown museum and later, a wonderful book store where she found many books. Of course, she enjoyed viewing Carthage’s beautiful old homes. It had been years since Stephanie had been to Carthage where, for many years, she took music lesson. The ladies enjoyed a late buffet at the Roof, a very nice restaurant.

While in Lockwood, Stephanie did some yard work for her mother; visited with Jane Mayden and family; toured Seth and Claire Meinzen’s new home; played with Norah Ann; checked out a new Smart phone with Kaylyn; popped some sugar corn which all her family loves; played some pinochle her brothers, Nathan and Brian; had a birthday ice cream cake (her birthday is October 8) at the Meinzens; shopped in Lockwood; and just enjoyed being away from her work and relaxing.

She returned to home in Greenville, Illinois, on Saturday.

Recently, the

Wehrmans were also informed of the death of Mary Barefield, who lived in Springfield. She was the sister of Isabel Seboldt and the last of 10 siblings.

Their parents came to USA in 1904 with three children; the rest was born in the USA. Mary had recently celebrated her big 100th birthday in June at the home of Tom Seboldt, Seymour.

She died on September 25, 2014, after a few strokes and a stay at Elfindale Manor. Her visitation, funeral service and burial was held at Greenlawn Funeral Home and Memorial Gardens Cemetery on Monday, Septemeber 29.

Nathan Wehrman was pallbearer and the Lockwood Wehrmans attended the above events.

A lunch was served to the relatives after the burial at Redeemer Lutheran Church.

Natalie was glad to see former friends, especially Doyle and Stephanie Richter. This was her last aunt and she will be greatly missed.

Natalie appreciated having her son, Brian, drive her car for her.

I noticed in a local paper where there are other people who are not afraid to express their opinion about term limits.

The country would be better served by elected officials if there were term limits for every elected position of government.

It would eliminate a lot of time spent raising money at the federal level and the lies told in order to be re-elected would not be necessary.

At the local level, it would keep those out who only want a job and have enough kin folks to be elected.

There will be some who say the experience is necessary, but how much experience does it take to shut down the government or work at any thing six hours a week?

How much experience does it take to go on vacation or work 35 hours a week, if at all?

By that, I mean, there are those who only show up!

I have always worked at least 50 or 60 hours a week or more, besides the travel all over the U.S.A. as was expected in order to accomplish more than just show up!

People that work on a real job are compensated for what they accomplish.

Elected officials too often are paid for doing very little and accomplishing nothing.

Thus, in my humble opinion, term limits are a good thing.

If they are good for the President, the Governor and Representatives at the state level, then why not for every elected official?

This is a simple way to get some of the money out of politics and maybe accomplish meaningful legislation.
