Local Residents Chosen As State Fair Farm Family For Dade County Submi ed by Jill Scheidt Agronomy Specialist

Jarrod and Carla Hayes of Everton were among the 110 families honored during the Missouri State Fair’s Farm Family Day on August 11, 2014. The Hayes were selected as the Dade County Missouri State Fair Farm Family by the Dade County Extension Council and local Farm Bureau. The family includes Jarrod, Carla and their son, Mason (front row of photo). Each year, the fair sets aside a day to recognize farm families from across the state who are active in their community, involved in agriculture, and participate in local outreach and extension programs such as 4-H and FFA.

The Hayes aid in the operation of the Wright family farm in Everton (Carla’s father); the farm has been in the family since 1882. They raise registered Charolais cattle; Jarrod has a tractor servicing business and Mason shows registered Charolais. “We are proud to have a second generation 4-H leader and her family represent Dade County for our Farm Family,” said Jill Scheidt, CPD with University of Missouri in Dade County. The annual event was sponsored by the Missouri Department of Agriculture, the Missouri Farm Bureau, the Missouri State Fair, the University of Missouri College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources, and University of Missouri Extension.

Tina McGlothlin is the Employee of the Month for August at Pennington Seed in Greenfield and was nominated by her manager, Tim Black, who wrote in his nomination: Tina has the difficult task of managing the office in the Shop. It may seem that this would be an easy job, but walk a mile in her shoes. From ordering cleaning supplies, to running detailed reports on machines, to keeping employees vacation and sick days, to fielding phone calls, to helping organize work days, to harvest preparation, the number of things she does cannot be easily defined. Tina has worked here since 1991 and understands our processes as good as or better than most across all departments. Her contributions go mostly unnoticed as they don’t cause a stir. This is the result of her ability to organize and move forward. Tina is a valuable employee and everyone in the Shop appreciates her commitment. Tina has worked at Pennington Seed for 23

years in October. She came here when a former classmate, Todd Vandegrift, mentioned there were some openings. She was hired on at Penn Pak II on the third shift and worked there for about three months until business slowed. It was after being laid off that Wayne Stump brought her back and offered her a place in Small Package where she remained for about a year. During this time the Shop was being re-located out of the Plant and into a new building that was under construction

and Carl Robison, Shop manager, needed a secretary. Tina applied and was hired. What Tina likes most about her job is that she works independently and isn’t on a line where “my performance affects everyone else.” What she likes most about the company, second to her paycheck, is the people she works with and the long relationships: “I’ve watched everyone’s kids grow up and they’ve watched mine. Around here you know the whole family.”

Tina grew up in Everton where her dad owned the only local garage. The garage was located right in the center of town and the family home was just 3 doors away. “During that time I knew everybody in Everton,” said Tina. Tina married Randy McGlothlin in 2002 and they have a daughter Brooke. The family lives near Verona and Brooke, 10, attends school in Verona. Randy is a mechanic and works at Certified Automotive in Monett. Camping and fishing are top on the list of things the family enjoys doing together and they make the drive to Grand Lake in Oklahoma as often as they can. Brooke was six when she saw her first alligator gar and didn’t want it in the same boat with her. On the other hand, catfish is a favorite. Tina wanted to thank Tim Black for the nomination saying, “Tim is a great boss and always thanks his employees for their work and truly appreciates all they do.” Tina would also like to thank Jgade Ayres for all that he does to make her job easier.

Remembering 911-Thirteen Years Ago It is hard to believe that thirteen years have passed by since that September Day that forever changed our world. On this day marks the worst Terrorist attack in U. S. History. American Airlines Flight 11 carrying 92 people and United Airlines Flight 175 carrying 65 people were diverted by hijackers to

New York City where they were flown into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center. When you ask anyone today, about everyone can tell you exactly where they were at and what they were doing when they heard we were attacked. I still get a sick feeling all over as I remember watching the

news and seeing those planes flown into the Towers in New York. Numb and in a state of shock we watched for many days knowing death was imminent for so many. Today, we remember and wrap our arms around each family member who lost a loved one on 9-11-2001.

We, will not forget and will keep all families in our hearts and prayers. “One nation under God.” Yes, a Christian nation and we recognize our strength comes from God and we pray for comfort, peace and strength for those who lost their loved ones. Lets fly our flags in remembrance.

Megan is the niece of Cindy Taylor of Lockwood/Golden City area. Mother & baby are at Freeman Hospital in Joplin and seem to be doing fine for delivering early. Hope to have a update next week. I want to congratulate Dawn Toler on winning the Open Amateur 5 year class and also Older World Grand Championship Canter Class at Ava this past weekend. It was the Missouri Fox Trotters Horse Breed Association Celebration. I believe Shanna was riding when they got one award. Dawn works very hard all year long getting her horses ready for competition and it does pay off. Congratulations. Last Tuesday and Wednesday, Rick & I were at the Cancer Center in Tulsa for his two days of

check-ups. They were not happy with the care he had gotten in Springfield with his tractor wreck. He had to go see one of their surgeons and he removed the stitches and put him on 10 days of two different kinds of antibiotics for infection. Also got the drain out while we were there, too. He got a good report on his cancer but is still very sore from his wreck. We hope this is a better week for him. Rick's mother, Barbara Baker, is still not feeling really good since she had her stints put in. Her arm is really sore & bothering her. Also, Rick's Dad done something to his shoulder and will be having an MRI to see if he has a tear. We hoping it isn't. Rick's sister, Brenda McPhail's grandson, Issac Deken fell bowling and broke his wrist. We wish him a speedy recovery. When it rains, it seems like it pours! Brenda's other grandson, Kingston McPhail, 3, had to have his tonsils and adenoids taken out last Thursday. His mother, Josey, was a nervous wreck and glad to have it over with. Kingston done great. While we were in Tulsa, we visited both days with David & Betty Hughes. Betty had surgery last Monday for a growth

in her throat that they thought was cancer. They got the news while we were there that it isn't and David was on cloud nine as he should be. Betty will be having a feeding tube inserted in her stomach for a short time due to the swelling in her throat but won't have to take any chemo or radiation. Hoorah! While we were there, ran into former Greenfield Ag teacher’s, Mr. Kenneth Pitchford, widow. She looked great & was there visiting Betty & David, too. David & Tina Yocom stopped by the Baker's last Wednesday night for a short visit and showed us Tina's new wheels they had bought at Wallen's car lot. Tristan Vandegrift graduated Sunday, May 18th, 2014, at 2 pm. and that evening Tristan, his mom, Cathy Vandegrift, dad -Todd & Karen Vandegrift and his brother, Ethan, took him to the Embassy Suites in K.C. where he had to be by 9 p.m. Then on Monday, May 19th, he did paper work at the Mets Center and left on a bus to head to the airport to fly to MCRD in San Diego, CA. for 13 weeks of boot camp. The only contact he had with his family was thru letters and I know as a Mom who has been there that is the longest 13 weeks of your life. On August 13th, Cathy, Todd, Karen & Ethan Vandegrift, grandparents, Royce & Nicki Vandegrift, Judy Coble , Aunt Dana Bryant, Uncle Tony & Aunt Carmen Morrow and Skylar Huffan all flew to San Diego to attend Family Day which was August 14th. This was

the first time they had got to see Tristan and it was the best hug a mother could ever receive. They spent the day on base with him and then on Friday, Tristan graduated from boot camp. This was very emotional & exciting for all the family. They then got their Marine for 10 days. They spent a couple of days touring San Diego after their first stop to eat off the base at In & Out Burger with a lot of the other Marines. They went to the USS Midway, Mission Beach, Coronado Beach & rode a ferry from one island to another. They all had a great time and the weather was wonderful, no humidity. They then flew home on August 17th and Tristan had a couple of days here before he left on August 26th for combat training. When he finishes that, he will go on to his job training which is small arms repair. His family is all very proud of him & loves him. Way to go, Tristan! I want to extend sympathy to all those families that have lost loved ones this past week: Karlos Ted Kaelke, 76, of Lockwood; Danny Ethridge, 83 and Twila Fuhrer, 83 both of Everton; and Ron Harris of Golden City who was killed in a 10-wheeler accident last week. Ron was a retired truck driver and worked part time for the Greenfield Ready Mix. It was a horrible shock for his family & work buddies. Keep all these families in your thoughts & prayers. Wade Abadessa will be going home this week with Hospice Care. They have decided not to do

anymore treatments and to make him as comfortable as possible. His family & friends will rally around him and do everything they can for him. Wade is the son of Jana Beth "Baldwin" Abadessa and grandson of Anita Baldwin. We hope for the best. Laverne Hickey didn't have a treatment this week. They are hoping to get his energy level back up before starting again. Harvey & Tammy Campbell had a truck accident right across from my Mom & Dad's house Saturday morning on wet pavement. Thankfully no one was hurt but really sore the next day. I went up Saturday night and spent it with little Miss Lucy. We had a great time and she doesn't leave any stone unturned. When I got there, she had been making mud pies and wanted to give me a hug. Oh no, not till you have a bath. Tina Summers kept her two granddaughters Friday night and I know Leon probably pestered them to death. But oh what fun we have with grandchildren. I want to extend sympathy to former Greenfield teacher, Frank Johnson & family, on the loss of his mother, Bobbie Johnson, 91, who passed away at the Dade County Nursing Home on August 31st. I ran into his daughter, Megan & her husband, at Red's Drive-In Saturday. She is going to law school and he works in Utah for the Forest Department. I hope I remember that right. It was good seeing & talking to them. I wish everyone a good week and don't take your health for granted.

EBENEZER PRESBYTERIAN

Mary K. Glunt Pastor Ebenezer Presbyterian Church P.O. Box 393 Greenfield, MO revmkg@sbcglobal.net As I was in the checkout line the other day, a few magazines caught my attention. They touted successes and accomplishments in the lives of various stars, which got me to thinking about my own life. I began to think about Paul’s words about contentment and wondered, If I were talking to my grandchildren today, how would I demonstrate contentment to them? Am I really content? I have the opportunity to talk with many employees, and they often let down their guard. I find myself struggling with the conversation as they express their dissatisfaction with their work arrangements, supervisors, etc., and I hurry to excuse myself, lest I be tagged as a malcontent, as well. While some are merely venting, some are chronically discontented not only with their employment, but their lives, as well, so much so that not one positive thought is expressed. Again, I ask myself, Am I contented? There are many areas where we can find contentment, or a lack of it—work, home, relationships, church. Some might say that being content is having no ambition, no desire for improvement or advancement. One dictionary definition of being contented is being “satisfied with what one is or has; not wanting more or

The Secret To Contentment

anything else.” Are we called to be without ambition, or is there more to being contented in the Christian life? In the book of Philippians, Paul writes to the believers there to thank them for their support of his ministry. He is grateful for their concern for him, but he is quick to express that he isn’t in need: “I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through him who gives me strength” (Philippians 4:11-13). Paul’s words give us the answer to the contentment issue. It isn’t a matter of not having goals or aspirations, but rather a sense of inner peace that carries us through every situation in which we find ourselves. Contentment is the acceptance of this day, this time in our lives where God has placed us, accepting that for this moment we are in God’s hands and will and can serve Him, whatever the situation. I am not always satisfied with where I am. I want to

grow and change, to be more than I am, and that is a commendable goal. So how can I be contented while having aspirations beyond where I currently stand? Am I being unfaithful to God if I want something more? The key is in Paul’s words: “I can do all this through him who gives me strength.” Wherever he found himself, Paul was reminded that nothing could overcome him if he was relying and leaning on God’s strength to withstand it. Whether in lack or in much, Paul learned to be satisfied with the moment, to accept that God was working in his life and would carry him through. Contentment, biblically, “arises from the inward disposition, and is the offspring of humility” (dictionary.com) God instructs us to pray for provision and for God’s movement in our lives. Solomon prayed for wisdom. Paul prayed for God to direct him as to where he should travel and preach. Finding satisfaction or contentment requires submitting ourselves to God and to God’s working in our lives each new day, asking him for grace to grow, but finding joy and fulfillment in the times where we find ourselves. Being content requires God’s grace. Paul prayed for God to remove a “thorn in the flesh.” He wanted relief. However, God answered: “My grace is

sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness” (2 Corinthians 12:9). It is in the down times, the times of loss or need, the times when we are not where we want to be, that we can find God’s grace and power in our lives, and thereby find contentment. Some years ago now my husband bought me a CD with a song about a couple who never found the dreams of their youth. They sing in the chorus, “This cup filled up so quickly / There's too much on our plate /Between the living and the dying / Some things must wait / So we never got to Paris and found the cafe of our dreams / But our table holds a whole wide world of memories No, we never went to Venice / And strolled the streets alone / But we built our worlds together and we got the best of both” (Out of the Grey, So We Never Got to Paris). The secret of contentment is not that we eliminate dreams or goals, but that we make peace with the days in which we live, find happiness in the now, knowing that God is working in our lives and will bring us joy wherever we find ourselves. The secret is submitting our dreams to God and allowing Him to bring them to pass in His way and will. May God give you joy and contentment today.

ANTIOCH PILGRIM NEWS by Lesia Jones Thank you, God, for that wonderful rain. We needed it so bad. Even little more. Makes you want to just stand out in it. On Friday night, Kim and I went out with Jacob and Abby to Mt. Vernon Mexican. They treated us to supper for our anniversary. Jacob joined us for breakfast on Saturday morning. He brought me a dozen eggs from Abby’s chickens. Saturday, hanging around the house doing odds and ends. Wade and Chloe came to spend the night with us. We took them to the Everton rodeo. Dustin and Melinda headed to Springfield to go out to eat with no children. Dustin picked them up Sunday morning to go to church. He joined us for breakfast. On Sunday, we went to church at Kings Way Christian Church in Mt. Vernon. Afterwards, out to lunch at Bamboo Gar-

den with Kelbey and Asa. Then to Dusty’s for supper for our anniversary. Others enjoying all the good food, Grandma Betty Vandegrift, Nana Carol Jones, Kim and Lesia, Kelbey and Asa, Jacob Jones. We missed Abby as she had gone to her parents. We enjoyed visiting most of the evening. Monday to Carol and worked. Kim took Carol to Lowe’s to pick up some stuff. While there, they saw Lou Ann Hampton and her daughter, Shelly. Joe and Lou Ann have recently moved by Shelly. Tuesday back to work, after work back to Carol’s and called in Kelbey and Asa to help. They ate supper with us, also. Sympathy to the family of Twila Fuhrer who lost her battle with cancer. Her visitation was Thursday night at Birch’s in Ash Grove. Her daughter, Leanna Claire, is getting ready to un-

dergo treatment for cancer. It is everywhere. All we can do is pray and pray some more. Maggie Jones celebrated her birthday on Friday. Wishing her a bright next year. She is still undergoing treatment for her cancer. We continue to have a steady stream of prayer on her behalf. Barbara Friend stopped by Carol’s one day last week while I was working there. She didn’t stay long as she thought I might put her to work. She just grinned and left and told me I had a lot of work ahead of me. October 24, Everton PTSO carnival. They always need donations and helpers. Clean out those closets and get that white elephant things to them. It is for a good cause. I took a vacation day on Wednesday and did some cleaning and painting at Carol Jones. Melinda Jones came and

more. Our prayers continue to be with Anita Baldwin families as her grandson, Wade, is in a lot of pain with his cancer and in the hospital. Continue to keep them in your prayers. On Thursday, my sister, Linda Coble, took mom to springfield for some tests. Afterward, they did some shopping and then attended their granddaughter’s, Brooke Willard, volleyball game. Brother Doug was calling around trying to find mom. I just told him she is ON THE ROAD AGAIN. Glad to report that Lucille Franklin is feeling better. A lot better as she was able to attend church on Sunday. Still little weak, but better. Well, I didn’t get everything done that I want, so I took off Thursday to continue to work at Carol’s house. When she came home on Thursday evening, she was surprised at

what all had been done. I left her a list of things for her to do on Friday and told her I would be back on Saturday. Her kitchen should be all done on Saturday. Every inch of that kitchen has been touched. Back to work on Friday to rest. Ha!! Kim went to Wentworth to another coon hunt. I guess I will rest up to hit it again on Saturday at Carol’s to finish it up. She will be ready to go back to work to rest up now. Oh happy day. I thank God every morning that I am able to get up out of bed and go to work. Have the energy I have and able to do most all the things I want to do. I love to work and have projects going. My husband not so much. At least not my projects. Wishing everyone a blessed week.

him. Also Brian’s mother, Brenda, came over from Monett to watch him. She works with him at Wal-mart. I must say he puts on a good show and looks pretty good, too, also sings really good. I’m sorry to say girls, he’s married. In fact, his wife made that beautiful white costume he was wearing. The third highlight was the long, long line at the fish stand Saturday night. Some of my family and I stood in line forever before we got our fish sandwiches. While we were waiting, it gave us time to visit with people around us. I had a very nice visit with some people from Atlanta. They were here visiting her mother, Helen Wilson, who lives in Springfield. She ask me if I knew Bessie Turk when she was still living here. She was her cousin. I kinda remember her. She also was a relative of the Bill

Brown family. They were having a family reunion Sunday at the Mt. Vernon Park. After waiting so long to get their fish sandwiches, they said it was worth the wait. I thought so too. Looked like the hamburger stand did good, too, in their sales. Congratulations to all the kings and queens. In the senior division, Chris and Heather Garner’s boy, Nathan, along side his partner, Kayla, got to wear the King and Queen crowns. My little great grandbaby, Paisley, got third place in the baby contest in her age group. Dallas and Bri Bloomer are her parents. So many cute little babies. We lucked out weather-wise for the festival this year. Rain clouds threatened a few times. The ball tournament went on as scheduled. Our Logan team had their first game at 7 a.m.

They have had a team for 27 years. Second generations now! I had a house full of people for lunch at noon Saturday. We all enjoyed that, ball players and more. Dick and Sue Ford’s granddaughter, Raven, was taken to the hospital by ambulance, from the festival, Thursday night. She and some friends had a bicycle wreck. Raven received a concussion. Hope she is doing okay. We were all scared for her. Thanks to all the festival workers. It takes many hands to put on something like that. Hard work, time and sweat! Even us pie makers spend a little time, baking pies for the hamburger stand. I made four Friday morning. Two for up there and two to feed my family. Rest up and have a good week.

county with a population of 8,000 requires the same number of elected officials and employees as a large county of 25,000 or more. Even the federal representatives are based on population. You can’t make me believe that a small populated county

needs the same number of elected officials and employees as a largely populated county. There will be those who will say, “Why do I care how many they have on payroll?” The answer.... YOU are paying them. Some of

those are the same ones who say, “If I own a piece of the property I should be able to do what I want with it,”but they don’t think the other person has the same right. You know, “Not in my backyard”.

spent the day with me and helped. I would not have gotten it all done. We painted and cleaned just as fast as we talked. Ha! It was a good day. Jacob ran the other way. Glad to hear that newest member of family, Jaxon Vandegrift, went to the doctor and got a good report. He was not passing his hearing test in the hospital, but he did now. Can’t wait to meet this little guy. Got pictures and he is so handsome. I can tell he needs his neck chewed on and his Aunt Lesia is just the one to do it up right. Tammy Garver is the proud grandmother of a new grandson. Wyatt Christopher weighed in at 9 lb and 2 ounces. Already a bruiser. He was named after his cousin, the late Christopher Davis. All is doing great and daddy Derrick is proud of his new son. Happy 50th to Larry and Beverly Kenney. Wishing them many

WEST SIDE NEWS by Darlene Logan We are turning our calendars over to the month of September already. The month seems to go by so fast! The month of August is the time to celebrate the end of summer with fairs and festivals, which actually run into September and October also. Then, they are followed by Thanksgiving and Christmas! Celebrations never end; it’s just a circle. The weekend of the 23rd, I attended, along with daughter, Janet, the Lamar fair. I like going there because I see lots of family and friends. My brother and sister, and a lot of their kids live there, so it’s like having a family reunion at the fair. We also had out of state relatives there this year. I always like to go to the Memorial building to look at the produce and other items people bring in to be judged. My sister Maxine Cox, always does well there with her fresh

vegetables, canned goods and jellies. She entered 17 items and got 14 ribbons. A lot were first place blue. She is a true gardener! You see why I like to go to her home for two or three days. I get to eat some of that good stuff! The crowd was rather thin at our Miller Fall Festival, Wednesday through Friday, but Saturday night there was an explosion of people. Just like “old times”. As the old saying goes, “everybody and his dog came”! And yes, there were a few dogs there. On Thursday night, Barbara Cole had to take their little dog home, because it wouldn’t settle down. I’ll bet that loud band playing on the bandstand hurt its ears. People around me and myself were complaining about it being too loud. You get their vibrating guitars and drums going and they will about blast you to the moon! I guess the three

highlights of the festival this year were: Number 1, Ma Rose (Elveda) as Grand Marshal, who led the parade, waving to the people along the parade route and looking very pretty in her red dress and riding in that “stylish” white car. Elveda Rose was very deserving of that honor. She and her late husband, Dwaine, owned and operated the Telephone Company in Miller for many years. They have two sons, Rick and David. Now the second highlight of the evening: on Saturday was ELVIS! Boy, did he ever make the women sit up and take notice! Even Elveda, the Grand Marshal!! Wow!! He was led up to the stage by Marti Ruark. What did Barry think of that Marty?? My granddaughter Kayla’s husband, Brian Spilman, went to school with Scott Garner (ELVIS) in Monett. He was there to see

FOOD FOR THOUGHT by Bill Head There is a lot of talk about the national debt. A Lot of the information is false. For example, some of the talk is about the huge increase in the debt during Obama administration. The actual percentage of increase for the last few

presidents is as follows: Reagan 218%, Bush (GHW) 55%, Clinton35%, Bush (GW) 86%, Obama 34% to date. The national debt is a huge problem that must be addressed. All elected officials must be held accountable in order for this to be cor-

LOCKWOOD NEWS by Retha Jones My Labor Day weekend was quiet and restful, time was spent in my easy chair with feet elevated. Being a sports fan I kept up with the Royals and Cardinals baseball. Both are doing quiet well. I do enjoy them, when they are winning! Karrie, my cleaning lady, worked Labor Day cleaning for me. Neighbors Amy, Justin and Nathan spent Saturday night camping out and fishing at Stockton Lake. Ramona enjoyed a quiet and restful evening at home alone.

Our farmers lived up to the day. They were busy hauling, corn I suppose, many trucks and trailers going by. Most all corn cut. Farmers are busy. Tuesday, I had an appointment with my doctor, I continue to have fluid in feet. Next week meet with specialist in Springfield. After my doctor’s appointment yesterday, Paul and I took a country drive out north with car windows down to let the wind blow your hair. Felt so good! Wednesday night was the big night for

the fish fry for residents of Good Shepherd Nursing Home. This is an annual event sponsored by Lockwood United Methodist Women. Thanks to Don Davidson and his capable crew. A full meal was enjoyed by all. Some of us home bound received plates of food. The Depot at the Crossing on Main Street is now open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 3:15 to 5:00 or so for middle and high schoolers who need a place to stay before the bus leaves or the home

game starts. The Crossing is next to the Christian Center. The Methodist Kids Quest will begin September 16th at the FLC after school Friday night, Paul and Nancy Evermon will arrive from Alaska for an extensive visit. Son, J.L., also will arrive then, will be a good weekend. What sad news. I just now received a call that Karlos Kaelke passed away. He had been in ill health for some time. It still was a shock.

TRUDELL NEWS by Blanche Trudell The rain was great and the grass is turning green again. Now we will have to get to mowing again soon. Joe and I spent some time in Springfield, doing our monthly shopping this week, after the big Labor Day holiday. We didn’t go anywhere or have any company over the holiday, but we did go visit several family members. Wednesday, we went to Stockton and checked on the mail for Donna and Eric Worthington, on our way to Raytown to take a black kettle to our niece, Marilyn Belchie. There we got to visit a short while and found out that her husband, Jeff Belchie, had lost his job, but was having another interview this week. Hope it comes through, for him. Joe and I went on to see his sister, Mary McLaughlin, at the nursing home in Raytown. Mary didn’t recognize us. She did remember Joe as her tall brother. Mary is failing fast. It may be the last time we get to visit her. From there, we went to Excelsior Springs where we found the rooms for his cousins, Vera and Virgil Clark. Vera is 86 and her husband, Virgil, is 91. He is on oxygen but his mind is sharp and he can get around pretty good. Vera is in a wheel chair as she is unsteady

on her feet. She fell recently and broke her femur. She was also glad to see us so we stayed for a couple of hours, and then went on to Cameron to see my sister, Fern Curtis. She is home now and doing better. She still has a visiting nurse 3 times a week and wears a call alert system for emergencies. We wanted to take her out for supper, but she was too tired. Fern is 89 and lives alone. She is doing good, overall. Joe and I left Fern’s about 7:00 p.m. where we went to Osborn and visited with my sister, Leola, her husband, Norman Baumgarden and son, Stephen Watkins. I had taken some fruit jars to Leola to can in. I don’t need a lot of jars anymore, as I don’t can much anymore. I was surprised when one of my nieces, Ruth Ann Archibald, stopped by to visit for a short while. She was on her way home from Prayer Meeting in Osborn. She lives in Smithville. It was a surprise to see her but real nice. Joe and I stayed all night with Leola. We got up Thursday and watched the movie (GOD IS NOT DEAD). We then left and went to Independence where we ate lunch and on home. We got home about 5:30 p.m. and RESTED! Nancy Shanahan brought Mac, her

Lady Wildcats Volleyball

Yorkie, over for the week so she could have a vacation. She will be home when this paper comes out. Let us remember to pray for, all those who are serving our country, 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!

dents. This program does not only benefit our seniors, it helps all of our students in 7-12. We currently have 81 students enrolled in the A+ program. This includes 18 seniors who spend their own time tutoring younger students to fulfill the fifty hours tutoring/mentoring requirements. This gives our students ownership in our programs and motivates

our younger students to also participate in the A+ financial incentive to attend a Missouri community college or technical school, or an institutional A+ scholarship from a Missouri university. The A+ program is a great resource for our students who plan to further their education after graduation from Greenfield.

September Days will return to Lockwood on Saturday, September 20! Activities begin at 7 a.m. with breakfast being served at the American Legion Hall. The Dade County Health Department will be hosting a Color Run beginning at 8:30 a.m. (check-in at 8 a.m.) at the City Park.

School clubs, local churches, and other civic organizations will be providing games and carnival-style food from 10:30 a.m. – 3 p.m. From bounce houses to dunk tanks, cotton candy to funnel cakes, there will be something for everyone in the family! The Main Stage, in the Arvest Bank parking lot, will be the home of our baby show (10:30 a.m., registration at 9:30 prior to the parade),

recognition of firefighters, a fashion show, awards, and musical entertainment from Stefanie Nentrup, Jarrod 'Hank' Wilhelm, and Jared Hicks.

UNACCEPTABLE ATTACKS ON RELIGIOUS FREEDOM By Henry McBride

As hard as it may be to believe, there are many Americans organized into groups who have adopted the position that your religious freedom encompasses what they say it should rather than a God-given right to practice your religion according to what you believe. This only applies to Christians and their practice of Christ’s teachings. The same people who attack Christians for practicing their beliefs would not dare do the same things to Muslim, Jewish, or any other religion of consequence. The perpetrators usually are groups of people who cannot defend what they want to do on any kind of logical, reasonable or otherwise acceptable basis. The three I read the most about are Democrats, mainly with their Obamacare debacle and their obsession with the idea that they can make all things fair for

everyone through devices such as hate crimes laws, various homosexual groups, and schools from public school districts through university level. I see many columns and letters to the editor criticizing anyone who does not agree with the President and his party. What I don’t see is anyone explaining why they individually, without regard to party support or regurgitating Democrat talking points, agree with current Democrat efforts to restructure our nation into a socialist state similar to Russia, our supposed friend. One letter reported on a situation regarding a florist in Washington State who was threatened, then sued, by the Washington State Attorney General even though no complaint had been filed with his office. The florist and the homosexual for whose “wedding” she refused to design floral arrangements were

long time friends. He had been a regular customer for nine years, and did not take offense when she refused his business for the wedding. She knew he was homosexual and he knew she was a Christian. They got along on that basis – until others who were not involved entered the picture. Enter the ACLU who convinced him to file a separate lawsuit with them, thus causing him to betray the friendship and end recognition of his friend’s right to practice her Christian beliefs. In my opinion this situation has passed from supposedly trying to provide justice to exacting revenge on someone who doesn’t accept the bizarre sexual practices of others. My preference is that everyone keeps their sexual practices where they say they don’t want the government to intrude until it suits their purpose - in the bedroom. The latest for me on

the academia front concerns a professor at UNC-Wilmington. As usual, he is well-qualified for his position: numerous teaching awards, good reviews from his students, successful in the publish-or-perish world of the university. In 2006 he applied for a promotion which was denied by his colleagues. What was his big sin? He was an atheist when he came to the university (1993) and when he gained tenure (1998). After a meaningful experience with a death row inmate, he became a Christian in 2000. Worse yet, he took on the left wing, antichristian discrimination he saw on university campuses.
