Food Pantry Dedica on The Lockwood Ministerial Alliance will host a dedication of the new Food Pantry built in Lockwood on Sunday, September 28th at 2:30 p.m.

The project was a two year process of receiving grants, raising funds by the local area churches, and construction.

Pam Allen assisted in writing a $5,000 grant sponsored by Thrivent Financial which was then matched by Thrivent equaling $10,000.00; Monsanto gave a gift of $2,500.00; and area churches raised thousands of dollars to complete the project.

Brian Wehrman drew up the plans for the Food Pantry and constructed it.

Thanks to all who made the new Food Pantry a reality for Lockwood and surrounding communities.

Sunday, September 28 at 2:30 p.m. the community is invited to attend the dedication of the new Food Pantry located on Immanuel Lutheran Church’s parking lot facing Hwy 160.

Those in attendance will be area pastors of the Lockwood Ministerial Alliance, Thom Mehl of Thrivent, Pam Allen, Brian Wehrman, and Rev. Kyle Fittje of Immanuel Lutheran Church who will lead the Rite of Dedication.

Those attending are encouraged to bring several food items to help stock the new Food Pantry (no corn or green beans, as there is an ample supply of these items at this time).

Thieves Damage Trading Post, Other Businesses In Attempted Break-ins

By Cle s McConnell Vede e Reporter

Police responded to the Trading Post in Greenfield at 4:20 a.m.

Monday morning as an alarm went off, alerting them of an attempted break-in.

The would-be burglars were not able to enter the front door so they backed their 18wheeler tractor into the front door, taking out a large section, as well as the door and then quickly left to the east in their tractor trailer when the alarm went off.

Only minutes earlier, they had attempted a break-in at the Hurricane Bay Car Wash in Greenfield without success. They backed into the money machine, damaging it and a big flower bed.

Nothing was taken.

After leaving Greenfield, they stopped in Ash Grove at the Larry Cox Car Wash. Some damage was reported. Again,

nothing was taken.

The break-ins are under investigation.

Call your local police or sheriff if you noticed anything suspicious early Monday.

Your name will be kept confidential.

Success For 9-11 Memorial Ride Ar cle by Hope Campbell Photo by Cle s McConnell Vede e Reporter

Cool air, partly sunny, and the open road lured 10 bikes and 14 riders on the 5th Annuel "Never Forget" 9-11 Memorial Ride on September 13, 2014.

We left out of Greenfield at 7 am and headed down Hwy 97, then to Hwy 37 to Purdy, Missouri for our first stop.

Then, after a little warm up time, it was off on CC Hwy to Hwy 76 and our next stop at Reeds Spring.

After fueling, both bikes and riders were off again, heading up 248 to Marionville and our last stop. Back on the bikes again, we headed home to Greenfield and lunch.

We all enjoyed a wonderful meal prepared and served by the Greenfield fire fighters, wives and families. After eating, it was time to draw for the many wonderful door prizes that were donated by area businesses.

Greenfield businesses that donated were: Meeks Building Center, Sawyer Tire, O'Reilly Auto Parts, Gordon's Feed and Pet and WreckO-Mended.

Lockwood business that donated was: Prairie Mtn. Screening Springfield businesses that donated were: Don & Sons Cycle LLC, Pitt Bull Power Sports, Denny's Harley Davidson and Victor L. Philips.

Times and Seasons

Mary K. Glunt Pastor Ebenezer Presbyterian Church P.O. Box 393 Greenfield, MO revmkg@sbcglobal.net It is truly hard for me to believe that by the time you read this it will be fall, a brand new season.

When I was a child, the change of seasons and passage of time often seemed to drag by, but as I’ve aged (don’t tell anyone), time seems to fly by, and I find myself wondering where the time has gone. We learn from Ecclesiastes (and the 60s band, the Turtles), that there are times and seasons specific to each of our lives. I no longer think as I did in the past.

My priorities have changed, and the important things, well, they have changed, too.

It is much easier to recognize the “seasons” when we talk about change of weather and the cycle of plant life. But recognizing the seasons in our lives and what God is doing is much harder to do. How can we understand what God is doing within us as we face each new day and each new season?

First, it is important

to recognize that there are only two things consistent in life: God is always present and everything else will change! Friends will come and go. Family members will be born and some will pass away.

We will gain possessions—some of which we will treasure, some we will cast away, and some may be taken from us.

Things will change, but God remains the same.

Second, it is imperative to recognize that God has a plan for each of our lives, not just an ethereal “get to heaven someday” plan, but a purpose. “’For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the LORD, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future’” (Jeremiah 29:11). These words were written in the context of Israel’s exile in Babylon, having been forcibly removed from their homes

by Nebuchadnezzar. In this context, God spoke through the prophet telling the people to settle down and live their lives

to the fullest in their situation, knowing that one day God would return them to their homeland.

In each season of our lives, we need to “make the best” of whatever comes our way, knowing that each day is part of God’s working in not only our lives, but the lives of others through us.

Finally, it is absolutely necessary to grow in faith as we are transformed into the image of our Savior. Any plant that does not grow will be pulled from the garden and replaced with another. And to live well in every season of life, we must be continually growing, changing, and developing our faith in God. If I don’t know who God is, how can I know what God wants for me? And if I don’t know what Jesus would do, how can I know what I should do?

Everything that comes into our lives has a purpose, which we may never know until the day we meet God face to face.

When we respond in faith

to God, in every circumstance, even when we don’t understand, we will find ourselves not only being stretched, but also growing in hope and trust.

Soon, the leaves will change and fall from the trees. We will take out our winter clothes and pack away those from summer and prepare our homes for the cold winds to come because we recognize the season in which we are living and the one that is to come. In the same way, take time to think about the season where you find yourself today. Approach each new experience with the knowledge that God is with you and will always be so, that God has a plan for your life and is working that plan out, and that each day is a new opportunity to grow closer to and become more like Jesus. Enjoy fall!

Blessings!

Beef and Forage Tour

MY TURN by Bob Jackson A DEAR JOHN LETTER Dear John, I have been unable to sleep since I broke off our engagement.

Won’t you forgive and forget? Your absence is breaking my heart. I was a fool. Nobody can take your place.

All my love, Belinda.

PS. Congratulations on winning the lottery last week.

SMILE A WHILE People who are wrapped up in themselves are overdressed.

A word of advice : Don’t give it.

A journey of a hundred miles starts with an argument over how to load the car.

The first rule of tinkering is to save all the parts.

Call me crazy but I love to see other people happy and succeeding.

A expert is someone called in at the last minute to share the blame.

When you finally go back to your old home, you will find it isn’t the old home you miss but the love that filled it.

Of course, I talk to myself because sometimes I need expert advice.

If a mother asks you a question, it is better to tell the truth because chances are she is asking because she already knows the answer.

MY TURN MISC Maybe Americans need to take a lesson from the people in Scotland.

On their vote to break away from England last week, 85% of eligibile voters voted.

PROBLEMS IN JEFFERSON CITY The Missouri Lottery Commission got four new members last week.

The Lottery is not bringing in the amount of funds targeted to go to education. Look for major changes in the future.

Also the merger of the Missouri Highway Patrol and the Missouri Water Patrol has issues.

The Missouri General Assembly is looking into the merger.

Money figures for our area. Per capita income in Dade County is $28,352 compared to Barton $30,200, Cedar $27,189.

Taxable sales: Barton $93,018,319; Cedar $89,054,997 and Dade $39,745,765. Figures were from 2012.

Dade County was busy on 9-20-14 with a DACO golf tournament, September Days in Lockwood, firefighter training in Greenfield, the Rick and Brenda Harding auction, fishing on Stockton Lake and girls volleyball tournaments at Everton and Greenfield.

Beef and Forage Tour is planned for the afternoon of October 16th at Scott Casey’s Farm in El Dorado Springs, Missouri, beginning at 1p.m.

The tour begins at the Casey headquarters at 3645 South 425 Road, El Dorado Springs. From U.S. Highway 54 go south on Missouri 32 to Airport Rd. Turn east on Airport Rd. and follow it and it becomes 331 Rd. then 320 Rd. Turn south off 320 Rd. onto 425 Rd. and follow it 1⁄4 mile to the rock pillar entrance.

The tour will consist of a presentation from Genex representative, Tammy Wallace, on AI, Estrous Synchronization, and use of the breeding barn.

Another presentation will be done by Mike Kasten on the Quality Beef by the numbers program which is a joint project with two Kansas Feedlots, three AI companies, Certified Angus

Beef and the University of Missouri.

Then, Eldon Cole and Scott Casey will do a discussion of the Missouri Show Me Select Heifer Program.

There will also be fall calving cows that Scott purchase in past Missouri Show Me Select Heifer Sales at Joplin Regional Stockyards as well as heifers that Scott has been developing that would be progeny of the cows that he purchased through Missouri Show Me Select Heifer Sales.

Then, to end the day, Pat Miller, Regional MU Extension Agronomy Specialist, will discuss pasture management and weed control.

If you have any questions, please contact Patrick Davis at the Cedar County MU Extension Center at 417276-3313 or by email at davismp@missouri.edu.

In Memory: Colbey Oglesby 9-26-2001 Gone but not forgotten!

Was very sorry to get word that Wade Abbadessa, 26, of Macon, Missouri, passed away last Sunday after a long hard fight with cancer. Wade leaves behind his new wife of 18 days, Kayde, and their son, Jax, of the home. Also, his parents, Steven & Jana Beth "Baldwin" Abbadessa, siblingsDrew & Ashton, Grandma Anita Baldwin and Aunt Mary Ann McDowell & family of this area.

His service was Saturday in Macon with a huge crowd attending. Wade was a very outgoing per-

son & never met a stranger. As his friends will all tell you, he was the life of the party and will be dearly missed by all those who knew him.

Another shock to our community was the sudden death of Randy Greenlee, 59, of So. Greenfield. Randy was a 1973 GHS graduate and was a truck driver for Pennington Seed. He leaves behind his wife, Marsha and son, Bubba Greenlee, of So. Greenfield along with many friends & family.

Also, Glen Mitchell of Everton passed away last week.

I want to extend sympathy to all these families and their loved ones.

Teresa Coose is one proud Mom. Her son, Wade Schilling, passed the Missouri Bar Exam. Way to go, Wade!

Greenfield 1st grade teacher, Kara Eggerman, got a shock last week when she found out she is expecting twin boys this winter. Now that would be a surprise.

Linda Crane had arthroscopic knee surgery last Tuesday and is home taking it easy. We wish her a speedy recovery.

John Sherwood and Tammy McMasters walked in a Alzheimer awareness walk last Saturday in Springfield.

I understand Rod O'Connor had the most fans walking for him last Saturday at the Fall Festival in Lockwood's Color Walk.

Rod has a huge fan base of family & friends rooting him on during his fight with cancer. Rod will start his chemo this week and we want to wish him the best of luck with it.

Laverne Hickey was able to take his chemo treatment this week. He had been too weak for the last several weeks so hopefully he won't get back down.

People who don't have to take these treatments don't know how lucky they are to be able to get up every morning and feel healthy. So you young ones better take heed and take care of your bodies.

You only get one!!

Phillip & Rhonda Montgomery's daughter, Morgan, represented the sophomore class at the Aurora Football Homecoming last Friday night.

She looked so pretty and Grandma Jackie Montgomery attended the game and saw all the girls in their beautiful dresses.

Jayce Baker was ecstatic that he won $125.00 dollars in a foot race at the Hellings Mudracing Park last weekend. Way to go, Jayce!!

The Greenfield Volleyball team took 2nd place in the Volleyball Tournament at Greenfield last Saturday. First place winners were Southwest (Warsaw).

The Montgomery Re-

union was held last weekend with around 50 coming out on a beautiful fall day. They enjoyed lots of good food, visiting & picture taking down near the Wayne & Jackie Montgomery cabin in one of Richard & Hilda's houses next to the creek.

Saturday was a beautiful day for an auction. A big crowd attended the sale of Ric & Brenda Harding.

Last Saturday was a good day to go to the Red Lobster and take advantage of endless shrimp month. Richard McMasters was celebrating his birthday with Tammy, Bakers, Killingsworths & Atkissons. We also ran into Monda Jeffreys who was celebrating her 60th birthday with her husband, Ronnie and their son, Paul, Krista & boys.

The meal didn't disappoint us either. It was wonderful.

Next to our table was

another birthday. Perry Hawks was celebrating, too, with his wife, Susie and his son, Dr. Travis Hawks & family.

Even though we were all stuffed, we had to make a stop at Andy's for ice cream. Nothing like making ourselves miserable.

Duke & Tami Atkisson are going to be grandparents again in April. Daniel & Whitney Williams are going to make Henry a big brother. Congratulations.

Last Sunday, Carol Frickenschmidt held a wedding shower for Lindsey Julian & Carl Carlin.

Lindsey got some wonderful gifts and I took lots of pictures for her. Everybody knows me by now to get your smiley face on when I arrive with my camera!

Chasity Daniel is in the hospital at Joplin and not doing very well. Keep Chasity & her family in your prayers. She is a 1995 GHS graduate and the daughter

of Roy Daniel and Nita Tefertiller.

Rick hasn't felt up to par since he rolled his tractor. It seems to have zapped all his energy. He is hoping to feel better soon so he can get more done. He isn't one to lay around the house so he isn't liking this no energy part at all.

My son, Trevor, ran in a 10K run in Bismarck, North Dakota this past weekend and came in first in his age bracket. For not doing any training, we sure are proud of him and he was 6th over all.

I want to apologize. I reported that CJ Gresham scored 2 points for the Dadeville team. It should have read Colten Gresham. Sorry, I used what was on the game program.

This week will be the beginning of fall and that means old man winter is right behind it. Not looking forward to that at all.

Have a great week!

Busy Summer for the Greenfield FFA

By Cheyanne Melton Greenfield FFA Reporter

For Greenfield FFA members, summer was filled with lots of fun activities.

The new high school FFA officers went on the annual officer retreat to Springfield on May 27 & 28. While there, they discussed officer duties, made plans for upcoming events, and designed this year's FFA T-shirt.

Planning was followed by dinner at Hinode Japanese Steakhouse, go carts, mini golf, and swimming in the hotel pool.

Junior high officers held their FFA officer retreat on May 29 in Springfield at Golden Corral. Planning was followed by several hours of paintball at the Barnswings in Ozark.

In June, members traveled to Caplinger Mills for a canoe trip where they floated and swam.

In July, members picked corn at the Grisham and Daniel farms to earn money for upcoming events.

The Dade County Youth Fair was held on July 5 at the Everton

Makayla Elder holds her winning ribbons from the fair.

Saddle Club. Greenfield FFA members helped set up pens and hand out ribbons. Several students exhibited animals and vegetables.

High school FFA members had a summer blowout at the Short residence where they swam, canoed and fished.

Junior high FFA members had a beach FFA members at the Dade County Youth Fair party to celebrate the summer. After the parties, it was back to business.

High school officers attended the area Officer Leadership Training Conference at Carl Junction and many members of both the junior high and high school volunteered their time at the Food Harvest at Main Street Church.

FFA members picking corn to raise money The final trip of the summer was to the State Fair in Sedalia to work at the Pork Chop Place.

Now that the summer is over, members are ready for another fun and successful school year.

Thank you to everyone for your support and to all the FFA members who helped throughout the summer. Officer Leadership Training Conference

FFA members worked at the Pork Chop Place at the State Fair in Sedalia.

ANTIOCH PILGRIM NEWS by Lesia Jones Well, Friday was Grandparent Day at Greenfield and talk about a lot of excited children and worn out teachers.

It started out in the gym with all the grandparents and students.

Bob Bishop was the oldest grandfather (1931) and Betty Vandegrift was the oldest grandmother there (1930). A grandmother came I believe over 100 miles and another grandmother with like 19 grandchildren. These grandparents rock.

We were taken into the lunch room where we were served cookies and punch while the classes got ready to show off their rooms.

Kim and I, along with several other grandparents, were running from room to room as they had more than one grandchild in K-3.

There were some awfully happy children and then some very sad children as they did not have a grandparent there. I sat with a little girl as did several others. Wade and Chloe were lucky to have 4 with them.

Wade went home with us to spend the night and Chloe went with Grandma Gerri as she was not feeling the best. This was the first time they had ever stayed at our house apart. Big deal and Wade wanted Chloe to know that he was staying at our house and she wasn’t.

On Friday evening, Linda and Don Coble, Tim and Lynetta Leeper, Kim and Lesia Jones, Wade Jones, Lucille Franklin enjoyed a pizza party at the home of Betty Vandegrift for her birthday that day.

The big 84. We had a great evening. Plenty to eat and lots of dessert. We visited and just don’t know when to go home. Just ask our husbands. Another great evening and we thank God every day for the wonderful mother he gave us and the other mother, Lucille Franklin. Lucille will be 90 in November and can run circles around most. So glad she is feeling better and able

to be out and about again.

So is MOM. On Saturday morning, we had surprise breakfast guests: Jacob and Abby. Just kidding. We love having them. They were digging post holes most of the day.

Abby was the boss.

Dustin came down and brought Chloe for me to watch for him to help the guys. Wade was back and forth and Chloe just stayed in the house and watched movies and followed me around. She still was not feeling very good.

Melinda was at the school most of the day working. She is very active in their booster club. Then they all ate lunch with us also. They quit digging holes around 4 and they were tired.

Kim went to a hunt at Ash Grove and I couldn’t stay at home, so Kelbey and I headed to Springfield as we needed baby presents and wedding presents.

We enjoyed supper out at a new place and needless to say we were under dressed. Our sports pants and tee shirts did not go with the white linen table clothes.

Oh well, we tried it and it was good, but little pricey for my taste when I can get just as good or better at home. We made it home by 11.

On Sunday, Kim, myself and Kelbey attended church at the Greenfield First Christian Church as guest of his aunt and uncle, Dillard and Phyllis Myers.

Got to visit with a lot of different people. We stopped by mom’s and of course she was not home. Ate lunch at Sub Way. Stopped and visited with Kelbey and then home.

I finished stripping and sanding an antique dresser and Kim was working on a bed. Finished the evening by 6:30 and ate supper and rested rest of the evening.

Monday are always good so I can go back to work to rest. Kim had a meeting that evening.

Suzanne Steeley came down and visited while he was gone. We had a good time.

Girl talk.

Deepest sympathy to Anita Baldwin and all her family in the loss of her grandson, Wade, son of former Jana Beth Baldwin.

Wade leaves behind a wife and toddler son. Sometimes we just don’t understand and this is one of those times. But we have to have faith and know that he is in a better place and no more pain.

May God comfort each one of them and help them through this very difficult time in their life.

Keep Louise Toler in your prayers as she continues to have health issues.

Prayers for her daughter, Charlene, who is caring for her along with a lot of good help from her siblings and family.

Sympathy to the Sandra Maize family.

I heard that the Justin Smithson wedding went off great and it was beautiful.

They were married at Ash Grove with an outside wedding. It wasn’t at the Barn Loft; they have done another one besides that one. I would love to see the Round Barn.

Talked to Tammy Garver and she said they had a very busy week with all the family in and the wedding. She reported it had been a year since she had all her family together.

It was a great week for her.

Talked to Dustin Tuesday morning and Chloe is up and running full stream.

These little ones can be sick

one minute and running crazy the next.

Our Maggie Jones continues to be so upbeat with all the tests, chemo and radiation she has had to undergo. We tell her that she is our HERO with her positive attitude. But continue to pray for her as her friends and family does. You can never have too many prayers said for you.

Kim went hunting with Matt Higgins on Tuesday night. He was tired as he had concreted fence posts most of the day. Had to keep it going with the concrete truck there for him. He was not moving too fast that evening.

So many continue to need our prayers. Paul Clabough recently had surgery and is home recovering. We have several in our area that are dealing with cancer: Rick Baker, Joe Hampton, Laverne Hickey, Maggie Jones, Leanna Clair.

Miss Chloe will be spending the night with us on Friday night. This will be her first time without Wade.

She told me, “I have never spent the night by myself.”

They have always been a package deal. Wade had a birthday party he was going to.

Sounds like the weather is going to get little warmer.

Just enough to make the grass grow. My garden is really getting slim right now.

It is to the stage of ugly that I am ready to pull it up and be ready for next year.

Have a great week and be thankful for what you have.

Pest Activity Quiet in Southwest Missouri Fields this Week Submi ed by Jill Scheidt Agronomy Specialist

LAMAR, Mo. -- Jill Scheidt, agronomy specialist with University of Missouri Extension in Barton County, scouted fields south and west of Lockwood, Sept. 17 for the MU Extension crop scouting program.

Scheidt observed soybeans in the seed development and full seed stages. “Some second crop beans are moving into the full seed stage,” said Scheidt.

Whether it is religion, politics, government, social issues, or the actions of a prominent personality, the writers have a biblical basis for their thoughts. No issue, no person gets a pass because of political correctness or any other contrived method of controlling thoughts and the expression of ideas.

Each issue has a twopage spread containing cartoons and quotes, usually having a picture of the person being quoted.

The ‘toons and quotes are a gold mine as a source of ideas for me. I do not find most of the items anywhere else.

An example of this is a quote by New York Times reporter and Pulitzer Prize winner James Risen in the September 6 issue, page 20. “[A lot of people] don’t want to believe that Obama wants to crack down on the press and whistle-blowers. But he does. He’s the greatest enemy to press freedom in a generation.” Mr. Risen knows from experi-

A RELIABLE NEWS SOURCE by Henry McBride It is nice to find a news source I know I can trust. I have written before about how much I like World Magazine.

The variety of content is extraordinary.

Most issues will have a sports item of less than one page, usually on a prominent athletic Christian personality or an issue such as the current effort to unionize college athletes.

Several years ago World started a one page item titled “Houses of God.” Other than identifying information, there is no commentary for this item. It is a picture of a place of worship somewhere in the world.

The range of Houses of God shown in this feature has been from benches under a shade tree to magnificent old cathedrals to a lean-to or other thrown-together structure in a beautiful, sparsely settled countryside. Obviously there is no relationship between the ability to worship God and the building a group might have available. Often I go to this page first to see what my treat is.

World has about five or six columnists on a regular basis. While a great
