Right To Farm Amendment Stays Winning After Recount By Bob Jackson

The Missouri Secretary of State announced Monday, September 15, 2014, that after a statewide recount of ballots in the 114 counties and The City of St Louis Amendment 1 The Right To Farm change in the Missouri Constitu-

tion passed by 2375 votes. The vote count in favor on August 5, 2014, had the measure winning by 2490 votes. Election officials statewide did the recount and in Dade County the final total was 1252 yes and 689 no.

Results on 8-05-14 showed 1251 yes and 688 no. Some 64% of Dade County voters approved the measure. Supporters of Admendment 1 stated Missouri Family Farmers and Missouri Consumers are the winners of the recount,

validating the passage of the measure. Missouri farmers will have greater protection from unjustified and costly restrictions placed upon them by out-of-state extreme organizations like the Humane Society of The United States.

The next voting election will be Tuesday, November 4, 2014. There will not be on the ballot a proposal to abolish township goverment in Dade County. The earliest that vote could occur would be the April election of 2015.

2014 MRTA State Meeting The Missouri Retired teachers Association and School Personnel held its annual meeting in Jefferson City September 10-11. Marilyn Skipper, current president, welcomed the more than 300 in attendance, who represent more than 23,000 members. Forty of the 145 units across the state were recognized as Units of distinction. Janice Theurer, president of the Dade County unit, accepted the award from Region 9 vice president, Vicki Orr. To receive the award a local unit has to meet 25 of 28 items on a checklist. Walt Cochran, chairman of the organization’s fund raising arm, praised members for their donations which completed the office elevator installation and provided 84 $500 grants to classroom teachers this past year. Executive Director Jim Kreider discussed Amendment 3 appear-

ing on the November ballot. Citizens must vote “no” on this amendment. Passage would mean loss of control of local schools. It would cost an estimated one billion dollars to implement at a time when schools are already 600 million underfunded. Newspapers reported that Teach Great, the organization pushing the amendment, would not be actively campaigning for the amendment. Kreider indicated this made little sense after spending more than 1.7 million dollars to collect signatures and fight two court cases to keep it on the ballot. Public School retirement System director, Steve Yoakum, presented information on the state of the system which serves 210,427 retirees in all 50 states and 11 foreign countries. PSRS’s defined benefit plan, unlike a 401k, is designed not to run out of funds. Yoakum said he is often asked why Missouri retired teachers

do not have the problems of Illinois retirees. His reply was that Missouri teachers fund their system during their active careers and elect their own governing board. Illinois’s retirement system is funded by the state and governed by politicians. He cautioned that there are challenges-economic and political. During the closing session, state legislature, John Wright of Columbia addressed the group explaining how the legislature is often like a classroom: there are the troublemakers, those who are good natured but misguided, and there are always a handful of performers. Jack Poston of the Boot Heels area took over as the newly elected president. Janice Theurer and Connie Roseman attended representing Dade County Area Retired Teachers and School Personnel.

LOCKWOOD NEWS by Retha Jones The past week things have been anything but normal in the Jones household. But oh! What fun we have had. 90 years, now I’ll start working on 100! J.L. arrived from Quincy, Illinois late Friday afternoon while Nancy and Paul Evermon arrived at K.C. airport around 3:30 from Anchorage, Alaska. Their children, Paul III and Lorie, met them at the airport and Paul drove them down to Lockwood. Saturday was a

whirlwind, preparing for open house Sunday afternoon. It was very informal, plenty of food. Many thanks to my family. To the Karlos Kaelke family and friends we send sympathies. He and Elaine were married on September 5th as well as John and I. Lockwood received another shock when news circulated the death of Candi Duncan, a well known resident of Lockwood. Candi loved her pets and was very active

along that line. Our sympathies to Violet, the boys, their families and friends. Some years back Candi would play the piano while I played the organ for services at the Presbyterian Church. Another long time resident passed away, Irene Parker. Irene was a resident of Good Shepherd Nursing Home for a short time. Keep September 20th open for September Days. A lot will be going on that day so don’t miss it. A big day!

The Dade County Democrat Club and Central Committee met Thursday, September 11, 2014 at the Greenfield Community Building. We were delighted with such an enthusiastic meeting. The business meeting was basically postponed, other than brief announcements to allow time to move into the anxiously awaited pie auction with the fantastic auctioneer and comedian, Pat Kelley of Newton County. This event was held as a special fundraiser for Bob Glenn, candidate for Dade County Presiding Commissioner. Bob is greatly appreciative of everyone’s enthusiastic support. The auction was a tremendous success with approximately 50 plus pies, cakes and breads being bid up, up, up! Such fun was participated in by all. Many quiet personalities rose to the fore with the encouragement of Kelly! Everyone left the meeting happy and enthused for our next meeting which is scheduled for a fundraiser full dinner at $10 per plate. Mark your calendars for Thursday, October 9, 2014, 6 p.m. at the Greenfield Community Build-

Stay tuned for update on the October meeting activities and speakers. Remember October 9, 2014, for full dinner fundraiser at $10 per plate. You will be well fed. See you there with bells on! Thank you to everyone for your encouraging participation.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT by Bill Head It was interesting to listen to Mit Romney on Fox News elaborate on how much time our current president spent on the golf course. Where was he when Bush spent a total of 1,024 days as some say ‘on vacation’? 491 of these days were spent at Camp David. The rest were at the ranch cutting brush or whatever made the best P.R. at the time. I read where Bush had 381 days cleaning brush or whatever, and 26 days at Kenne Bunkport, Main at his parents house, for a total of 407 days. While at this same point in his term, August 8 I

believe, Obama only had 125 days partial of full vacation. 407 verses 125/not bad, huh Romney? Oops, did I mess up another fairy tale? As I said before, I have voted for many republicans. However, after Bush it requires a lot of nose bleeding, deep thought, and heart felt concern for my country and my children’s future. Surely G.O.P. will not want Romney to run again because he is the original author of Obama Care.

Busy Bee Notes Submi ed by Reporter Blake Cossins

The Lockwood Busy Bee 4-H met on September 7, at the Forbus farm for a picnic and meeting. Hotdogs and sides were enjoyed. Members got to ride in the paddle boat and go fishing before the meeting.

our work truck anyway. Thad Burrows, our son-in-law, had a torn retina Sunday and had to have surgery on his eye Monday. He is doing alright, but can’t work for a few days. At least he didn’t go blind. LaVonne and Thad went to Georgia Thursday. I hope they have a good time. The school bus goes by earlier every year. It

goes by here at 6:30 a.m. Reminds me of when I drove in Independence, Missouri. Let us remember to pray for all those who are serving our country, (things don’t look good to me), 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!

TRUDELL NEWS by Blanche Trudell Another week is past, and the weather has cooled down. It was 50 degrees Friday, Sept 12th. I have gotten back into the swing of going out and feeding my toy cows. My family thinks I don’t need as I am getting too OLD to worry about livestock, but they are my PETS. Saturday, September 6th, Carol and Alan Odell surprised us by bringing

their two little grandchildren over. It had been a long time since we had seen either Dwayne Pecor or Jewelanna McCurdy. They have both grown a lot. Dwayne had a lot of fun playing with the 18 wheel truck. It was just like Uncle Chris drives, and Jewelanna liked playing the piano and playing with Mack, (Nancy’s dog). Grandpa

and I had fun watching them play. We missed most of the rain this week, but we didn’t get the floods like they did in the north part of the state. My sisters say they have gotten way too much up by Cameron and St. Joe, Missouri. I finally got some touch up painting done in the front kitchen and it looks better (at least to

me). Joe and I had to go to Springfield for lab work and now I am on another antibiotic. Hopefully that will take care of my problems. ALL OF THEM HA! Joe is still working on the old red truck. It doesn’t want to run right. I don’t drive it much anymore. There are too many things that don’t work right on it, but it is

EBENEZER PRESBYTERIAN

Mary K. Glunt

Is He Safe?

Pastor Ebenezer Presbyterian Church P.O. Box 393 Greenfield, MO revmkg@sbcglobal.net In the book, Lion, Witch, and the Wardrobe, a part of the Chronicles of Narnia, a great lion leads the creatures in defeating the wicked queen. A question is asked about the lion: “Is he safe?” The answer is quite interesting. “Safe?” said Mr. Beaver; “don’t you hear what Mrs. Beaver tells you? Who said anything about safe? ‘Course he isn’t safe. But he’s good. He’s the King, I tell you.” We want our God to be safe, to be someone we can control, but if you asked me if God is “safe,” I’m afraid I’d have to answer just as Mr. Beaver did. God isn’t safe, but He’s good, and that makes all the difference. Throughout the Bible, but especially in the Psalms and in the book of Job we find descriptions of God’s power and might. God created the worlds and all the beings in it. God controls the winds and the clouds and moves the mountains. These describe God’s awesome power and strength. We serve a mighty God who is able to do all things, no matter how large, and that power is awesome, and sometimes frightening. Thinking about the

power of God, it is kind of like standing next to a Clydesdale horse and realizing the power that is in the animal, how it could destroy you in a moment if it were not reigned in and trained. Have you ever been in the zoo next to the elephants? All that power and strength and all that size can be frightening, and it should be as that animal could kill you very quickly and with little effort. We respect the power of the animal, knowing that it isn’t safe. But when we are talking about God, there is another factor at play. God is not only righteous and holy, unable to allow sin in His presence and responding to sin and rebellion with power and might, God is also loving and merciful, wanting to show His mercy on His creation. A little dual-minded? Not at all. You see, it was always God’s will that we, His creation, be in fellowship with Him. He created us, thinking and reasoning beings, to have relationship with him. But sin crept in, and we were separated from God for our own safety. We were separated from God, sent from the

safety and bliss of the Garden into a world where we work and struggle and rejoice, as well. But we were still separated from God. Reading through the Old Testament, we are reminded again and again of the foolishness of the people of God, how they continually turned to idols and false gods of the regions, turning from God. It was in these times that God allowed danger to come on His people, trying to bring them back to Him. He did what was best to save the people from their idolatry. It was with the coming of Christ, the prototype for the allegorical Aslan, that we found restoration to God. With the sacrifice of Christ, His precious blood was offered for our sins so that we could be forgiven and enter into God’s presence. Jesus paid the price for our sins, served the sentence, and now those who have received that free gift walk with God without fear of His power and strength, knowing that “He is good” and can be trusted. God is still holy. God’s power is still awesome and frightening, but we know, as well, that God is love. In that love God seeks what is best for us and seeks to shape us and change us

into the image of His dear Son, Jesus Christ. In our current world political situation we are reminded just how powerless we are. When we consider the Ebola epidemic in Africa, the Islamic State crisis in the Middle East, the military struggles in Eastern Europe, and even the problems with drugs and evil in our own communities, our hope can be tested and tried. Yet, in the light of these situations and so many more in our own lives, we are to be reminded once again that God is good and will work all situations to the good for those who call upon His name, to those who love Him (Romans 8:28). Is God strong? Yes! Is God’s power awesome and frightening? Yes! Is God good? Definitely! I challenge you today, if you don’t know this powerful and good God, to take a moment to talk to Him. There are plenty of pastors in town who would be willing to help you meet God. If you do know God but aren’t sure about God’s plan for you, take some time and pray, seeking the good God who wants to bless you and strengthen you as you serve Him. Blessings!

ANTIOCH PILGRIM NEWS by Lesia Jones More wonderful rain we have been blessed with. Kim went on another hunt on Friday night and got home Saturday morning at 4:30. I thought it was time for me to get up. Jacob was down for breakfast. Abby had to work. Rolled Kim out of bed around 8:30. He looked little wild, but there was things to get done. The price you have to pay for staying out all night. On Saturday afternoon, my brother Darren Vandegrift and mom came and visited with Kim and me. We had a good visit. He had spent the day with mom. They came in on Friday night. Sandy was spending all her time with her mother, Ruby Davis, in the Ash Grove Care. They went home that evening.

Dustin, Melinda and children enjoyed camping at the lake from Thursday until Sunday. Not too many more swimming days left. A lot of Melinda’s family was also there. On Sunday, we tried to move cattle, but they didn’t want to move. FULL MOON? It was a rodeo. Some broke and ran. One went through the fence. I told Kim that’s what happens when you tried to do it on a Sunday. Started early and got in the house around 6. Dustin and Melinda brought horses. They ate lunch with us. After all this mess, we missed going to Larry and Beverly Kenney 50th celebration. Once you start this, you can’t stop. Wishing them many more happy

healthy years together. Our sympathy to the family of Joyce Sherwood who passed away this week. She is Asa’s great aunt. Our thoughts and prayers are with this family. On Sunday morning, our son-in-law, Asa Bowles, left for North Dakota to work for a few weeks. Hopefully in a couple months they will start their new house. Then, the work will begin. All hands on deck. Pushing Kim to do more of my honey do list because I know I won’t get nothing done when he is helping with the house. Kelbey started her other part time job as school nurse at Dadeville on Monday and loved it. She will work at Everton on Thursdays. Her old stomping grounds

and some of her teachers are still there. She continues to love her job at the Lockwood Clinic. On Tuesday, Kelbey, Katelyn, Amber and Jaime all attended the volleyball game at Everton and were really bragging on the girls. Keep it up. It was girls’ night out Sympathy to Brian Myers and family and Chris Myers in the loss of their grandmother. Brian and Chris are the twin sons of Chuck Myers. Chuck and Pris had a house full over the past week. Brian and family flew in as he is in the service. They were sure glad to get to see them, but not under these conditions. Justin Smithson will be getting married this weekend. He graduated with my son, Jacob. This class has re-

ally been slow in marching down the aisle. Slow, but sure. Brandon Graver flew in from Florida to be Justin’s best man. He has spent part of the week in Kansas City visiting with friends and rest of the time with his family and parents, Tammy and David Garver. Mom was sure proud to get to spend some time with him. All the family enjoyed a cookout at his sister’s, Jennifer and Scott Countryman, on Thursday night and planning on another on Sunday for birthday parties. Brandon will leave on Sunday night to go to Kansas City to spend the night with Tammy’s aunt, Lavonda and fly out on Monday to his home in Florida.

Friday, the 12th, is my mother’s 84th birthday and also grandparents day at Greenfield schools. So you know where we will be. I took the day off. My sisters, Lynetta and Linda, and their husbands will meet us at home Friday evening so we can all be together. Always look forward to these get togethers. Continue to keep all of those that are having health issues in your prayers. My daily prayers for Maggie Jones. Also Leanne Clair is undergoing a lot of testing. So many continue to need our prayers. So news in early. Hope everyone had a good week and may next week be even better. Loving this cooler weather, but not looking forward to COLD weather.

It looked like a beautiful wedding and everyone was shocked over seeing Amanda's dad, Harvey, in a tuxedo. What we will do for our children. Congratulations to Rick's niece, Annie McPhail, on her engagement to Mike Scammell. In Memory: Karla Preston Shelton 9-21-2013, Evalina Bennett 9-22-2010. Gone but not forgotten. I have a bit of an update on Cindy Taylor's niece’s, Megan, new baby boy, Jeremiah Mack Hartman. He ar-

rived early at 3 lb. 14 oz. & 17 1/2 inches long on September 7th. Mom is home doing good and Jeremiah is still in the hospital but seems to be doing fine. He needs to gain some weight & learn how to nurse. We hope he is home soon and doing good. Wade Abbadessa was taken by ambulance last Wednesday to his home after his last chemo treatment. They gave him an escort of motorcycles, fire truck and his city street was lined with supporters & signs welcoming him home. They are just trying to keep him comfortable & pain free right now. Keep this family in your thoughts & prayers. Also Wade's new wife's name is Kayde Abbadessa. I had his sister’s name last week. Sorry about that. Was sorry to hear of the deaths of Candi Duncan, 55 and Loreta Lowrance, 92, both of Lockwood, Joyce Sherwood, 76, of Dadeville and the sudden death of Sandy Maize of Greenfield. I want to extend sympathy to all these families and their friends. Loreta passed away just shy of her 93rd birthday which would have been the 20th of this month. A large crowd attended the funeral service of Joyce Sherwood at the Pennsboro Church Saturday morning. Also, I want to extend sympathy to Elliot Harmon & his family on the loss of his grandmother, Ruby Martin, 100, of Mt. Vernon. Ruby passed away on September 8 and will be dearly missed. Mary Lowry-Stokes had total knee replacement last Tuesday and is home taking it very slow. We wish her a speedy recovery. Paula Maize is a patient at Cox Hospital with cellulitis in her left leg. After being on 3 different kinds of antibiotics in the last 10 days with no results, they had to hospitalize her and give her medicine thru an IV. Wishing her some speedy results. Edith Perriman Phillips is having surgery this

Thursday and we wish her the best. Tina Summers has been under the weather and is looking at having some out patient surgery in the future. My grandson, Urijah, in North Dakota, started preschool this past week and is really liking it. Tells his little brother what a big boy he is now. I think Brekkin is liking having his Mommy all to himself and no big brother telling him what to do. Last Thursday, Rick reported back to his surgeon and he got a good report. The puncture wound is healing slowly and his soreness is getting better each day. I want to thank Beth Pebbles who called Sunday morning from Florida to check on him. Mother & I attended the JV Boys & Girls Basketball games at Walnut Grove vs. Dadeville last Thursday night. They had a good crowd to cheer them on and I got to visit with Buddy & Madi Stiles and Hale Sherwood. We knew several kids on each team and nephew, Oakley White, got to be the

star for the night when he made a basket that saved them from having practice on Friday. All his teammates were happy. His coach had told him if he made a basket they wouldn't have practice and not thinking he would do it. Bet he don't make that bet again. It was the only points Oakley made that night, but boy did it count. His expression was priceless. Walnut Grove won both games and here are the points from both teams: Walnut Grove, boys-Ryan Keith 27, Dawson Meinders 15, Austin Morlen 6, Hunter Deckard 5, Tyler Davis 3 & Oakley White 2. Girls: Lauren Johnson 13, Faith Gilkey 11, Taylor Dodson 10, Myranda McVay 8, Sadye Crump 4, Morgan Hailey 3 and Angel Rigg & Aspen White 2. Dadeville Boys-Will Toler & Carter Lakey 4, Austin Coones 3, Jake Stiles, Keenan Roseburrow, Jeremy Shavely, CJ Gresham & Clinton McGill all with 2. Girls-Lexi Lakey 4, Hannah Dean 2 & Cecilia Miller 1. Hopefully I didn't miss anyone. Rick's folks stopped by last week and went to see

his wrecked tractor. As everyone says, he is one lucky man or else just one tough cookie. Last Friday night, Killingsworths & Bakers enjoyed supper at the Angus Branch in Monett. If you haven't been there, we recommend it. Want to congratulate the Greenfield football team on their win Friday night 14-12. Also Miller beat Jasper in a hard won game and Lockwood smoked Joplin McAuley 35-0. Joyce Campbell's mother fell last week, broke her hip and had surgery last Thursday. We wish her a speedy recovery. I understand we have some new babies on the way. Randall & Kim Richter Holman are excited about a baby boy who will be here in January. Also, Tyler Daniel & Lacey Fox will have a bundle of joy arriving in March. How exciting for these couples. Perry Lewis celebrated his birthday Sunday at Chicken Annie's with his family. Steve Wynes has been on vacation to Mt. Rainier, Washington to visit with his

son, Jeramiah & family. Country Cousins monthly meeting was held at the home of Barbara Friend on Sunday afternoon. I'm sure they all had a great time, as we always do when we cousins get together. I missed it due to Rick & I had tickets to the PBR Bull Riding in Springfield. It was a full house and there was lots of money walking around with all those high dollar boots, buckles, jeans & purses. This was the 4th year for us and we will be going back. This is one thing Rick really enjoys. We ran into Stacey & Sarah Holland as we were leaving. Was sorry to hear Brody Pebbles had to be rushed to the hospital Sunday with some kind of allergic reaction. His little face was swollen twice its size and very red. After giving him a steroid shot, he was starting to look and feel better. Wish him a speedy recovery. Until next week we better enjoy this nice weather because I'm afraid of what old man winter has in store for us! Brrr! Rick started our first fire over the weekend, if that is a sign of anything.

Mutton Creek Triathlon 2014

By Beth Killingsworth Photo by Hannah Forgey

On Saturday, August 30, 2014, at 8 a.m. the 7th Annual Labor Day Weekend Mutton Creek Triathlon began as several fans watched from the shore. This year, the 1/4 mile swim from the southside dock to the northside proved to be the most challenging event for a few of the 14

participants. As always, the fans on shore counted heads and watched anxiously until the last person was out of the water. The transition on to bicycles for the six-mile ride was a quick one for the first group out of the water. Participants finished the event with a 2mile run. It was beautiful day for the race, fairly low hu-

midity and a partly cloudy sky. Taking first place was Brad Palmer with a time of 38:26.32. In second was Grant (not sure about his last name). In third place was Lane Hankins, followed closely by Kelby Davis taking fourth place, followed by Desiree Pirtle in fifth place. Most of the athletes,

along with their families, enjoyed breakfast at The No Wake Cafe. Participants were: Travis Pirtle, Desiree Pirtle, Katie Deak, Kelby Davis, Clayton Forgey, Darcy Parrish, Colt Hawkins, Lane Hankins, Caleb Redobough, Brad Lotz, Jenny Lotz, Chris Glenn, Brad Palmer and Grant.

The 1974 Lockwood Tiger High School football team that won the Class A state championship will be honored before the Lockwood-Diamond game at Lockwood on Friday, September 19, 2014. A reception for the team, coaches, fans will be held in the Lockwood High School Home Ec Room following the game with yearbooks, newspaper articles and visiting taking place. All Lockwood fans

are invited. The team coaches and pep club members will also have a big decorated float in the September Days Parade in Lockwood on Saturday, September 20, 2014. The 1974 team were tri champs of the Midwest Conference with losses coming to East Newton and Stockton. Lockwood beat Greenfield 36-6 before the loss to Stockton. In 1974, MSHSAA used a complicated point system to qualify for state playoff action but the

Tigers were one of 8 teams to qualify. Lockwood beat Drexel in a hard fought game at Lockwood to advance to the 1974 state championship game at Maryville, Missouri, at the Northwest Missouri State University field. The team went up the night before the game on Saturday, November 30, 1974, and stayed in a dorm at the college. The game was played in blowing snow and cold weather but Lockwood cruised to a 34-0 win over

the King City WildCats, becoming the first Class A team from Southwest Missouri to win a state football title since the state playoffs began in 1968 Mike Rader, a Lockwood grad, was the head coach and was assisted by Frank Kukal [LHS grad} and Ray Hoback. The Tigers had 40 team members: 11 seniors, 12 juniors, 8 sophomores and 9 freshmen.

Field Day For “Small Ruminants On Limited Acreage” Submi ed by David Burton Civic Communica ons Specialist

NEOSHO, Mo. — A field day concerning "Small Ruminants on Limited Acreage" will be conducted on Saturday, September 27, 2014, from 10 a.m. to noon at the farm of Tou and Mai Her, 26175 Redbud Road, Stella, Missouri. According to Dr. Jodie Pennington, small ruminant educator with Lincoln University Extension, the event will feature hair sheep that have

been on one acre for most of the summer. "Attendees will have an opportunity to discuss factors affecting small ruminants such as sheep and goats on small acreage. Youth are also invited and will have activities," said Pennington. This is a joint venture with University of Missouri Extension, Lincoln University Cooperative Extension, Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS), and Crowder College Department of Agriculture.

"This field day will provide producers or potential producers with an opportunity to learn about sheep and goats on small acreage, fencing for the animals, and soil tests and forages for the sheep and goats." said John Hobbs, county extension staff chair in McDonald County. "The field day is designed to show producers how they can make a little extra money on small acreages on the farm that might not otherwise be used." For more informa-

tion, contact Dr. Pennington (penningtonj@ lincolnu.edu) or Verna Simkins (simkinsv@missouri.edu) at the Newton County Extension Center, (417) 455-9500. There is no charge for the field day. Advanced registration is requested so speakers know how many handouts to have but registration is not required to attend.

BACK THEN VS. HERE AND NOW by Henry McBride While cleaning out files as part of our downsizing effort, I found a facsimile of an old F.W. Woolworth lunch counter menu. It brought back old memories since I used to go to lunch at a Woolworth’s from my grocery store job. Get these prices! Bacon and Tomato Toasted Three Decker Sandwich = 50 cents. Yum-yum, my favorite. Milk Shake or Malted Milk = 25 cents. Hard to beat cherry or strawberry.

Banana Split, regular = 25 cents. Super Jumbo Banana Split = 39 cents. Regular when I’m feeling thrifty, Jumbo when I’m not. King Size Coke = 10 cents. Slice of Apple Pie or Layer Cake = 15 cents. So I could have a three decker sandwich, milk shake and a piece of pie for 90 cents. That was close to an hour’s pay for my job. If I wanted to splurge, I could have a banana split in place of

the pie and still get by with only one dollar, a little closer to my hourly pay. My grocery store job was at an A&P grocery store, part of a national chain. I worked a cash register where I had to key in the price of each item. Grandparents, explain this to your grandchildren. Working summers, plus holidays when I got to come home, paid for most of my college expenses. The idea of tak-

ing out a loan never occurred to me because I didn’t have to consider it. This was long before the days of government student loans that are now sending college graduates home with monstrous debt and few available jobs, thanks to laws and policies produced by our government. As hard as it may be to believe now, we were expected to take care of ourselves. The Depression and WW II were recent memories in the

1950s, rather than distant as they are now. The adults had seen hard times and they really weren’t interested in teenage whining. I was very appreciative of that job at the time and still think a lot of good things about the grumpy old store manager whose job, at least part of it, was to see that I and my colleagues did our jobs properly. He was there to be our boss, not our friend. This was in the days when a quarter was still worth almost 25 cents. So, what is a quarter worth now? Maybe 3 cents? A recent item from World Magazine gives a clue. It said, “Most Americans are unaware that the paper dollars they own have lost over 35% of their purchasing power

over the last decade and more than 80% since America abandoned all monetary ties to gold in 1971.” Thirty-five percent purchasing power loss over the last 10 years; eighty percent over the last 43 years. You can see how the outrageous spending binge in D.C., the demand of Democrats to create an unpayable national debt, and the printing of paper money at the rate of $85 billion per month with no basis for the value of the dollars printed has our country headed for an economic disaster. Our country is ripe for the taking by those holding our debt. The fundamental restructuring of America is not going to be good for us.

On Monday, September 8, it was a beautiful fall day and perfect for a golf tournament. Everybody woke up early and was ready to get on the road to Millwood Golf and Racquet Club in Springfield. They had a tee time of 8 a.m. Excitement was in the air. The team consisted of Don Adams, Homer Ellis, Frank Cunningham and Kent Wynes. These guys

were representing Dade County and the Dade County Men’s Civic Club by participating in the Southwest Missouri Office on Aging Foundation and Springfield Grocer 20th Annual Fall Classic Golf Tournament. The course was trimmed and manicured to its finest. The team started to play and they all had a magnificent time. They all played their hearts out. They came home with a trophy for second place in “C” flight.

We are so proud of them. We don’t want to forget to mention that this terrific day was made possible by Ken Sedge who was the sponsor for the team. Thank you so much, Ken, for giving our guys such a fun time. Well, everyone is trying to come down off of cloud nine from the day. It seems that the team will be practicing all year to be ready for next year’s tournament.

John Q. Hammons Parkway, Springfield. Reinhart Food Service is the presenting sponsor of the evening. Hundreds of people from Bolivar and the surrounding communities are expected to attend the event.

items prior to the event. Chances are $25 each or five for $100. Tickets are available at CJBCC, from friends of the Cancer Center or online at http://conta.cc/YXscHu. Ken Schrader has been called the consummate race car driver – he can drive anything with wheels, represents his sponsors well and relates to his fans. Throughout his career, Schrader has been successful at every level of racing in which he has competed, including 28 years as a NASCAR Sprint Cup driver. Schrader’s race records read like a who’s who – you may think you are reading about several drivers’ careers, when in fact, all the records belong to him! From USAC, ARCA and just about every series within NASCAR, and on dirt, Schrader’s accomplishments are chronicled in the record books. Schrader is quick to credit many people for his success – his family, childhood

heroes, car owners, sponsors and team members. Schrader’s success as a race car driver carries over into other areas of his life. His on-track records are just part of the story. As a race team owner, Schrader has fielded cars in NASCAR, ARCA and several dirt series. As a TV commentator, Schrader has worked with SPEED and ESPN, offering his own perspective as a driver/owner. Schrader has written a book, GOTTA RACE!, which draws the reader into his career and life as a professional race car driver, while offering insight into Ken Schrader, the person. A native of Fenton, Missouri, Schrader remains true to his Midwest roots with his extensive dirt racing schedule and maintains a dirt car team in his native Missouri. Schrader enjoys many activities in the region with family and friends. Schrader also attends many special events throughout the United States as a spokesman for his sponsor, Federated Auto Parts. As a businessman and co-owner of three dirt tracks – Federated Auto Parts Raceway, Pevely, Mo.; Macon Speedway, Macon, Ill., and Paducah International Raceway, Paducah, Ky. – Schrader lends his expertise and insight to the tracks, while working with his partners to maintain the uniqueness of each. Throughout the season, Schrader competes at each track to the delight of his many fans. For more information about the CMH Burgundy Ball or the Carrie J.

Inc. August 14, 2014, was Rick Hardenberger’s last day at Penn Pak II and co-workers gathered in the upstairs break room to wish him well.

He started working on June 18, 1990, as second shift foreman and in 1993 moved to third shift where he stayed for the next 18-20 years. He ended his tenure on first shift and said he had enjoyed working at

Penn Pak II and the variety of his job, but was retiring for health reasons. “I got lots of cooperation from various people that helped me get my job done and I appreciate that,” said Rick. Gregg Burns, Penn Pak II manager, spoke for the group when he said Rick would be greatly missed. “He’s done everything for us and is like a member of our family.” Keith Hankins, Sr. VP & General Manager at Pennington Seed, added to Burn’s sentiment by saying Rick was always a good leader with his people, working the night shift for many years with good results and willing to help with harvest when it rolled around. “It was a pleasure to work with Rick all those years and we wish him well.” As for the future, Rick plans on doing some odd jobs that “don’t involve thinking.”

Livestock Producers Urged to Enroll in Disaster Assistance Program by Oct. 1 Submi ed by Melinda Divine Dade County FSA Office

WA S H I N G T O N , Sept. 2, 2014 - The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is encouraging producers who have suffered eligible disasterrelated losses to act to secure assistance by Sept. 30, 2014, as congressionally mandated payment reductions will take place for producers who have not acted before that date. Livestock producers that have experienced grazing losses since October, 2011, and may be eligible for benefits but have not yet contacted their local Farm Service Agency (FSA) office should do so as soon as possible. The Budget Control Act passed by Congress in 2011 requires USDA to implement reductions of 7.3 percent to the Livestock Forage Disaster Program (LFP) in the new

fiscal year, which begins Oct. 1, 2014. However, producers seeking LFP support who have scheduled appointments with their local FSA office before Oct. 1, even if the appointment occurs after Oct.1, will not see reductions in the amount of disaster relief they receive. USDA is encouraging producers to register, request an appointment or begin a Livestock Forage Disaster Program application with their county FSA office before Oct. 1, 2014, to lock in the current zero percent sequestration rate. As an additional aid to qualified producers applying for LFP, the Farm Service's Agency has developed an online registration that enables farmers and ranchers to put their names on an electronic list before the deadline to avoid reductions in their disaster assistance. To place a name on the Livestock Forage Disaster Program list online, visit www.fsa.usda.gov/ disaster-register. Producers who already contacted the county office and have an appointment scheduled need do nothing more. The Livestock Indemnity Program, the Tree Assistance Program and the Noninsured Disaster Assistance Program Frost Freeze payments will also be cut by 7.3 percent on October. 1, 2014. Unlike the Livestock Forage Disaster Program, applications for these programs must be fully com-

pleted by September 30. FSA offices will prioritize these applications, but as the full application process can take several days or more to complete, producers are encouraged to begin the application process as soon as possible. The Livestock Forage Disaster Program compensates eligible livestock producers who suffered grazing losses due to drought or fire between Oct. 1, 2011 and Dec. 31, 2014. Eligible livestock includes alpacas, beef cattle, buffalo, beefalo, dairy cattle, deer, elk, emus, equine, goats, llamas, poultry, reindeer, sheep or swine that have been or would have been grazing the eligible grazing land or pastureland. Producers forced to liquidate their livestock may also be eligible for program benefits. Additionally, the 2014 Farm Bill eliminated the risk management purchase requirement. Livestock producers are no longer required to purchase coverage under the federal crop insurance program or Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program to be eligible for Livestock Forage Disaster Program assistance. To learn more about USDA disaster relief program, producers can review the 2014 Farm Bill fact sheet at www.fsa.usda.gov/farmbill, the LFP program fact sheet, http://go.usa.gov/ 5JTk, or contact their local FSA office.
