School bond issue may be boon for city, would extend tax By Ryan Squibb
A graphic supplied by Sapp Design Associates shows the football field and track that would be built next to the Mt. Vernon High School if the bond is passed. The $2.5 million complex would include a track, football field with field turf, a practice field and facilities for restrooms, locker rooms and concessions.

Although the proposed school bond on the upcoming ballot would lead to the development of a first-rate football and track facility for the school, not everyone is convinced the cost is worth it. While the current tax rate wouldn’t change, the duration of the tax would be extended thanks to the $2.5 million bond required to build the complex. Six of the seven current school board members are in favor of taking the vote to the people—the seventh is Bob Misemer. Misemer believes it’s the wrong time for the bond and furthermore, believes the people need to be better informed of the situation. “What happens if we lose money if MRC leaves? We’ve got a chance that the economy is really going to struggle, so let’s wait and see before we commit to $2.5 million,” said 15-year school board member Misemer. “I’m in favor of trying to get our debt paid off. Pay the debt off first then decide. I just feel like we’re trying to live beyond our means.” He also cites a shrinking student population as reasons to wait.
COMING UP: 4 Community Easter egg hunt — The Mt. Vernon community Easter egg hunt will be at 1 p.m. Saturday, March 30 in the Spirit on ‘76 Park. Many other Easter egg hunts and services are scheduled in the area this week as well. 4 Mt. Vernon Farmer’s Market — Area farmers’ markets are gearing up for sales. Among those that will be selling fresh produce and baked goods are Mt. Vernon Farmers’ Market and Pierce City Farmers’ Market. 4 Free well water test kits — The Lawrence County Health Department will be giving out 200 free well water test kits during the month of April to celebrate National Public Health Week, April 1-7. This is for Lawrence County residents who have their own private well.
“I’ll be on board when enrollment starts coming back up,” Misemer added. Misemer’s concerns not withstanding, other community members believe now is the time, even citing some of the same reasons Misemer did for holding off. “Building a new stadium is one way that we can help attract new families and new businesses to Mt. Vernon. And we can do it without raising our taxes,” said Mt. Vernon resident John Cowherd, who has spearheaded the proposition. “The funds that will be used to finance construction of the stadium will not divert or take away any money that the school has or will have to buy books, computers or pay teachers’ salaries. Both the construction of the stadium, and the events that the school could host at the stadium, will provide a much-needed boost to our economy.” Cowherd also cites the current facility as reason to pass the bond. “The bond is a long overdue step in providing our children and our community with an actual track, and with a football stadium that we can be proud of.”

Debate draws a crowd, if not heated discussion
ABOUT TOWN by the Lawrence County Record staff
By Ryan Squibb
☛ The Record staff would like
to thank everyone who attended the debate March 22. We'd like to especially thank Tom Cox who clearly has a future in debate moderating. Tom did a great job and kept the candidates in line to boot.
Last weekend’s debate between Mike Moon and Charles Dake was, if nothing else, entertaining. I for one enjoyed it, and I hope others did as well. The candidates weren’t entertainers exactly, but they were performing. Watching two grown men battle wits in front of a live audience of 150 people is inherently stimulating, especially when most of the audience has a dog in the race. As there was no actual bad blood between the candidates, there weren’t any personal attacks, which was good. Personal attacks are generally only counterproductive and in the end just make the wheels come off. In fact, it seems the only real dirty pool thus far
☛ Are you feeling cold? Last year’s high and low temperatures for March 27 were 78˚ and 47˚. This year they were 26˚ and 20˚. Brrrrrr! Hopefully everyone kept their heaters on.
Anna remembers ... ...when we had rabbit traps, between Landrum and highway 39, south of the school.
in the campaigns has come from someone behind the curtain of the Republican Party, orchestrating misleading phone calls about Dake’s stance on issues. During the debate, Moon admitted he didn’t know the source of the calls, and I believe him. No need dragging a reputable individual in the mess if you don’t have to. Leave it to the real bottom feeders in the party to toil the soil. The Democrats shouldn’t have hurt feelings over the tactics though. The GOP pulled the exact same phone scam against their own John McCain during a presidential primary run several years back; must be in the corporate handbook. Listening to the candidates they said a lot of the same things and a lot different. Dake seems a right-leaning Democrat and Moon seems a right-
leaning Republican. I was at a televised candidate forum in Springfield a couple years back that featured about a half dozen candidates for the U.S. Representative Republican nomination, Moon was amongst them. I thought he spoke as well as any of the candidates that evening, but not having Billy Long’s resources, words weren’t enough. However, I remember Moon held up a copy of the U.S. Constitution, which seemed to automatically shift him to the right side of the room. But still, not enough. Regardless of how the election ends, the two candidates mostly kept it above their party. They were civil, respectful and showed they have character; all traits that may work against them in a political career.
The price of everything

Dear Editor: The comment, “Everyone knows the Second Amendment is about hunting,” caught my attention. I have heard similar comments from other people. Whether the comment is tongue in cheek or an expression of belief, it indicates some people do believe that. That was not its purpose. Those who have read comments by our founding fathers and others at the time the Constitution was being debated and ratified know the true reason the founding fathers added the Second Amendment to the US Constitution. The founding fathers were well educated men who knew history and understood government processes. They knew the strengths and weaknesses of different forms of government, recognized the tendency of governments to become tyrannical, and sought to ensure, as best they could, that liberty would be preserved. If I was to do a treatise on the Second Amendment, quoting the founding fathers, it would be too voluminous for the newspaper, so I will only include a few quotes and suggest people do their own research.

You can continue voting through Easter. Watch for a new poll on the Lawrence County Record’s website next week.

RANCHO/RKBA/2ndQuotes.php is a place to start. As a member of the Virginia convention to ratify the US Constitution, Patrick Henry urged the creation of a Bill of Rights for the Constitution. He stated, “My great objection to this government is, that it does not leave us the means of defending our rights, or of waging wars against tyrants.” Tench Coxe, a member of the Continental Congress and friend of James Madison, in support of the Second Amendment stated, “As civil rulers, not having their duty to the people duly before them, may attempt to tyrannize, and as the military forces which must be occasionally raised to defend our country, might pervert their power to the injury of their fellow-citizens, the people are confirmed by the next article in their right to keep and bear their private arms.” Rev. Nicholas Collin wrote in the October 12, 1789, issue of the Fayetteville (NC) Gazette, “While the people have property, arms in their hands, and only a spark of noble spirit, the most corrupt Congress must be mad to form any project of tyranny.” While hunting was important in colonial America, the primary reason the founding fathers added the Second Amendment to the US Constitution was so the people could defend liberty against an attempt to impose tyranny. Sincerely, William L. Catts Waynesville, Mo.
n high school, while on a shopping trip to Springfield with one of my oldest friends, David Pennington and I decided to invest equally in a K-Tel JOURNEYS Greatest Hits Album on two cassettes. (For those of you under 20, cassettes were a medium by which we could listen and record music.) We decided that we would divide the cassettes. He would listen to one by Tommy cassette for a month Wilks and I would listen to the other and then we would switch. That was the plan. I made sure that I got the cassette with the song “Valley Girl” on it I would listen to this song incessantly, though looking back on it, I’m not quite sure why. Life happened and we never did switch cassettes. When weighing the cost of anything now, I always consider what I call the “optimal cost.” This method is what I use to rationalize high ticket (and low ticket) items. For example, if I order $30 of Chinese takeout and it lasts three meals, that equates to $10 a meal. If I buy a song from iTunes at a cost of $1.29 and I listen to the song at least 129 times, that equates to a penny a play. I like these numbers. (For those of you over 20, iTunes is a site that you can download music, movies, e-books, etc. directly to your iPhone, iPod or iPad.) I once considered buying a $500 watch. If I glanced at the watch once an hour at work, five days a week for a year, that would work out to: eight hours x five days per week = 40 hours x 52 weeks=2080. If you divide $500 by 2080, you will see that each glance would equate to 24 cents each. Given that I would probably have to service
the watch and replace the battery at some point after a year, thus adding to the overall cost. Needless to say, I could not rationalize buying the watch. When weighing costs, I also think about time because time is money. Will this save time or add to my already hectic schedule? This is one reason why I can’t watch QVC or HSN. Everything on the show seems to save time. Case in point is the quick scanner I bought last week. It is supposed to save all sorts of time (and space) since I can now scan all my receipts, statements, etc. onto my computer. The price was right. I probably collect well over 1,000 documents a year and the unit only cost $100. This equates to 10 cents a scanned page. I’ll let you know if I made a bad spending decision later. I used to travel to India two times a month. I don’t like to boast but I became quite an expert of homemade loom silk-spun Oriental carpets. In fact, I became so good at it that I could spot a carpet made in a factory a mile away. In India, you negotiate a price for everything. When I first started flying to India, I hated this and got ripped off because I didn’t want to bargain. However, after a while, I became proficient at negotiating. Once you are given a price, you tell them that you will give them half. You then negotiate a price somewhere in between the asking price and half the asking price. I have walked out of stores stating that I would not pay what I considered a high price, only to be pursued moments later by the storekeeper stating that he would give me my price because I was “the first customer of the day.” In all my negotiations for Oriental carpets, if I could get the proprietor down below $15 a square foot—I considered myself lucky. There were times when it was easy as I played the “constantconsistent-customer” card and there were times when it would take hours and a couple of glasses of tea while negotiating. By the way Dave, if you still have a cassette player, I still have the cassette.

PUTTING ON THE FINISHING TOUCHES — Workers are expected to finish up this week on Mt. Vernon’s new water tower at the Northwest Industrial Park, just off Highway 39 north. Exerpt from the March 24, 1988 Lawrence County Record.
100 YEARS AGO | MARCH 27, 1913 ❧ (Headline) Now watch the City of Mt. Vernon boom; organization of the Booster Club completed and wheels set in motion; forward march! Monday night the Mt. Ver-

Lord, make me a channel of thy peace That where there is hatred I may bring love, That where there is wrong I may bring the spirit of forgiveness, That where there is discord I may bring harmony, That where there is error I may bring truth, That where there is doubt I may bring faith, That where there is despair I may bring hope, That where there are shadows I may bring
thy light, That where there is sadness I may bring joy. Lord, grant me that I may seek rather To comfort than to be comforted, To understand than to be understood, To love than to be loved; For it is by giving that one receives; It is by self-forgetting that one is forgiven; It is by dying that one awakens to eternal life. – St. Francis of Assisi

MOMENTS IN TIME The History Channel • On April 14, 1865, John Wilkes Booth, an actor and Confederate sympathizer, fatally shoots President Abraham Lincoln at a play at Ford’s Theater in Washington, D.C. The attack came only five days after Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee surrendered his army at Appomattox Court House in Virginia. • On April 8, 1916, at the Boulevard Race in Corona, Calif., an early racing car careens into a crowd of spectators, killing the driver and two others. The fatal accident helped encourage organizers to begin holding races on specially built tracks instead of regular streets. • On April 13, 1939, the heavy cruiser USS Astoria arrives in Japan under the command of Capt. Richmond Turner in an attempt to photograph the Japanese battleships Yamato and Musash in a prewar reconnaissance. The Astoria was sunk during Operation Watchtower in the Solomon Islands in August 1942. • On April 12, 1945, U.S. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt dies of a cerebral hemorrhage in his home at Warm Springs, Ga. The only man to be elected to four terms as president of the United States, Roosevelt is remembered for his New Deal social policies and his leadership during wartime.

The Easter Flower Far from this foreign Easter damp and chilly My soul steals to a pearshaped plot of ground, Where gleamed the lilac-tinted Easter lily Soft-scented in the air for yards around; Alone, without a hint of guardian leaf! Just like a fragile bell of silver rime, It burst the tomb for freedom sweet and brief In the young pregnant year at Eastertime; And many thought it was a sacred sign, And some called it the resurrection flower; And I, a pagan, worshiped at its shrine, Yielding my heart unto its perfumed power.

Officials with the city of Mt. Vernon’s planning and zoning committee will be hosting a public forum at 5 p.m. April 2, in council chambers, regarding a new ordinance potentially allowing chickens to be raised within Mt. Vernon city limits. Shot down in the past, the city is looking again at the option, now using Springfield’s framework as a starting point. Following Springfield’s plan, Mt. Vernon’s restriction could limit one household to six chickens, and no roosters—for noise considerations. There would be a permit process for running chickens inside the city limits and all code enforcement would be overseen by Mt. Vernon’s Building and Code Enforcement head Bruce Conway. Currently the code doesn’t allow any fowl, as domestic animals are limited to dogs and cats. “I think it’s a freedom we should not inhibit,” Conway said. “If someone decides to do this they ought to be responsible in every aspect of it. I’m hoping for a good turnout and I’m hoping it passes. I think it would be kind of cool for the town.”

Mt. Vernon Board of Aldermen sees only one Use tax on ballot would contested seat on ballot help city Ward Four will get Haymes or Tabor meet ends
Darrell Tabor 1. Age: 36 2. Family: Wife Crystal and two daughters Hannah, 10, and Molly, 7. 3. Occupation: Employed by the state of Missouri as a probation and parole officer in Lawrence County. 4. Education: Bachelor’s of Science in Business Administration from Williams Baptist College in Walnut Ridge, Ark. and is currently pursuing a Master’s of Science in Criminal Justice from the University of Central Missouri in Warrensburg, Mo. 5. What is the biggest issue facing Mt. Vernon, and how do you propose to fix it: I believe one of the biggest issues we face in Mt. Vernon is the decline and lack of growth of commercial business and more specifically retail businesses. It saddens and concerns me to see empty buildings and to watch businesses close. The loss of sales tax revenue, jobs and options for the residents of Mt. Vernon to patronize are devastating because of this. I propose we create incentives to motivate business owners to open their doors in Mt. Vernon and then give them support to allow their doors to stay open. This can be in the form of business expos, campaigns that encourage our residents to shop locally, whenever possible, and having in place policies that make it easier for business owners to operate within our city limits. 6. Why should someone vote for you: Someone should vote for me because I love this town! Mt. Vernon is more than just a place where we live. It’s where we worship, it’s where we work and play. Mt. Vernon is where we raise our children, fellowship with family and encourage our neighbors. Mt. Vernon is where we do life and I want to help to continue to make it a wonderful place to do just that.
Jason Haymes 1. Age: 51 2. Family: Wife Krista, children- Lindsay, Jordan, Katelyn, Seth 3. Occupation: High school ag teacher, 21 years Mt. Vernon High School; four years Fair Play High School 4. Education: B. S. in Agriculture, Murray State University ‘84; M. S. in Agriculture, MSU ‘85; Ed. Specialist, Career and Technical Education, University of Missouri ‘01 5. What is the biggest issue facing Mt. Vernon, and how do you propose to fix it: Mt. Vernon is a wonderful community with excellent schools, friendly people and small town charm. The biggest problem is economic, and that affects all the attributes of our community previously mentioned. School budgets, population growth and the demographics of our community are negatively affected by no economic growth. I believe in free market principles less intervention by government, more freedom for people to create economic growth. Our local government can create or maintain this type of free market condition by keeping local control of our regulations, taxes and other issues affecting business and development. 6. Why should someone vote for you: I have had a vested interest in this community for over 20 years. I was recognized as the Citizen of the Year in 1996 by the Mt. Vernon Chamber of Commerce, my commitment to community development has been on-going since I first arrived in town in July 1992. I have a vision for the future of Mt. Vernon that includes encouraging industrial development, adding value to our locally produced agriculture commodities and increasing the employment opportunities for us and our children.

A 2012 lawsuit brought against Greene County is already having a negative effect around the state, including Lawrence County. The lawsuit was brought forth by a man who purchased a vehicle out of state and didn’t feel it was right that he had to pay sales tax when he returned to his home state. Missouri’s Supreme Court agreed, finding it wrong to charge sales tax, citing the tax should be a use tax. The ruling now means that municipalities, like Mt. Vernon, are left with a gap in incoming tax. No longer collecting sales tax on the vehicles, nor a use tax, cities are finding it harder to make ends meet in their budgets. Mt. Vernon officials expect an annual shortfall of approximately $20,000 from the missing tax, that’s why the city is now asking voters to add a use tax to out-of-state purchases. These purchases include things like vehicles and Internet sales. The one exclusion from the use tax, however, is on farm machinery. The 2-cent use tax was last on the ballot in November 2012, when it lost by a two-toone margin. Mt. Vernon City Administrator Max Springer hopes this round will be different. “It’s beneficial for the businesses in town. It helps keep local money here instead of going out of state,” Springer said. “It’s about keeping the local businesses on a level playing field. We’re just trying to recapture what the Supreme Court took from us with the sales tax.”

Paul, the apostle, clearly wrote that his message was the Cross of Jesus Christ. It is the only place where we are safe. Jesus took God’s judgment for us on the Cross. It is there beneath the Cross, that is the safety zone.

“My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken me?” Jesus was forsaken by God in order that you and I might be accepted by Him. We never need to experience that terrible sense of divine rejection. We can be received into divine presence because Jesus was for one horrible afternoon excluded from it.

At exactly 3 o’clock there came a cry from the middle cross “My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken me?” The darkness thickened, ground tremors were felt; even the soldiers sensed a spirit of fear. The feeling was as if God himself had cloaked His eyes and separated Himself from creation. It’s 3 o’clock and that strange man on the middle cross was totally and completely alone.

t 3 o’clock in the afternoon on a day that was different, a darkness hid Jerusalem. There was an eerie silence that filled the land. It was almost as if Jerusalem was now remote and shunned from the rest of creation. On the north end of town, at a skull shaped rock formation, three crosses were draped with the forms of dying men. The executioners were focusing their attention on the man in the middle. A sign had been fastened to the top of the cross that read KING OF THE JEWS.

1. Family: Wife Denise, five children 2. Age: 54 3. Education: College graduate, some post graduate courses completed. 4. Occupation: Farmer 5. What is the biggest problem facing the county, and how can you fix it? Lawrence County’s economy. Budgets are tight and the proposed move of the veteran’s clinic may lead to additional budget cuts and perhaps a reduction in tax revenue. This impending move is a federal issue and I may not have a voice in the matter. I would, however, encourage local leaders to consider all available possibilities to attract industry to Lawrence County. I will also work to secure budget appropriations from the state in order to lessen the impact of the VA Clinic move. Perhaps as a result of the lack of career opportunity, our population of young adults under the age of 40 is dwindling. This reduction of population has, and will, impact our economy negatively. We must, as a community, develop ways to entice our children to put down roots in Lawrence County in order to ensure our way of life is protected. 6. Why should someone vote for you? I believe, as did our Founding Fathers, that we have been endowed by God to “with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” I also believe that government, although necessary, should be limited and freedom should be abundant. With freedom, however, comes responsibility. Laws should be enacted only for the purpose of promoting freedom and punishment should only be meted out when an individual’s property has been adversely affected. As such, I will work to limit government, reduce undue taxes and eliminate unnecessary regulations.

Mt’neers begin 2-1 in own tournament MVHS fields softball team for first time since fall of 1982; roll to victory over Hurley in opener Mt. Vernon began its first softball season in over 30 years with a resounding 12-3 romp over Hurley. The victory came in the opening game of the Mt. Vernon Tournament, which later fell victim to the snow. As it was, the first day was pushed back by unplayable conditions at Underwood “Spirit of ’76” Park from Monday to Tuesday. While the first game went as anticipated, Mt. Vernon fell 14-5 to Seymour in the second game Tuesday. The Lady Mt’neers rebounded to a 10-2 triumph over Crane in the third game Tuesday. Mt. Vernon got things started right in the opener, behind freshman righthander Maddie Brown. Brown pitched a 1-2-3 top of the first frame, then escaped a bases-loaded, no out, situtation in the top of the second. She surrendered three runs in the top of the third, on an error, two hits and a hit batter. Meanwhile, Mt. Vernon got all the runs it needed in the bottom of first frame, scoring four times. Whitney Wiehe was hit by a pitch as Mt. Vernon’s first hitter. The second, Brown, walked. Both came around on a
series of stolen bases. After Chelsa Snyder and Tamiaya Henderson struck out, Jordan DeLaSalle reached on an infield error. Kaitlyn Foulke reached on another miscue. Shailynn Benbrook then had the Lady Mt’neers first hit to drive in a pair. The Lady Mt’neers broke it open with six in the second, as the top six hitters all reached base and each scored. Brown and Henderson each hammered home runs in that frame. Hurley Mt. Vernon

The defeat to Seymour in game two came as Seymour scored four times in the first, twice in the second, added five more in the third and finished off with three in the fifth. Wiehe started for Mt. Vernon, with Brown pitching twothirds in the third, and Foulk finishing with two innings. Savannah Thomas scored two of the Lady Mt’neers’ runs, with Henderson, Snyder and Brown getting the others.

Mt. Vernon 2-0 in tourney, then snow Mt’neers beat Central and Conway, then came the snow and cold, forcing an early end Coach Nick Swillum’s baseball Mt’neers blasted Springfield Central and Conway in the RightOff-The-Bat tournament before snow set in and forced cancellation of the rest of the event.
And Zane Phillips added a triple. Kyler Shoff, Ketron, S. Phillips, Curl and Conner Osterloh all tallied twice.
Mt. Vernon played the first game — Tuesday, March 19 — against Central, at home because the diamond at Clever could not be ready. The Mt’neers moved to 3-0 for the season.

In Memory
CHLOE MARIE FELLWOCK Freistatt - Chloe Marie Fellwock, 4 years of age, went to be with Jesus at 7:15 a.m. Saturday, March 23, 2013. Chloe was at home, resting in her Mama’s arms and with her Daddy by her side. During her three-months battle with brain cancer, Chloe was exceptionally brave and courageous. Even though Chloe lost her ability to enjoy her favorite activities, she never complained about her illness. She was an inspiration to all who knew her. Chloe was born May 23, 2008, in Monett. From the time she was born, Chloe has been the light of her Mama’s life. She was put on this earth to bring joy to those around her. She made everyone in her life smile. At any time of the day, Chloe could be seen riding her stick horse with her playmate, Riley, as they happily sang their favorite songs. Chloe kept her Mama and Daddy entertained with all her chattering while riding in the big tractors or feeding cattle. Another favorite activity for Chloe was working side-by-side with Mama and Sissy (Bailey) in the garden. Chloe loved to be dirty and making mud pies was her favorite activity. Helping Sissy feed bottle calves was a highlight in her day. While indoors, Chloe loved to play farm with her brother, Hayden. Visiting grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins was something Chloe always enjoyed. Chloe was so full of sunshine and giggles that her family will forever miss their sweet baby Chloe. Chloe attended St. John’s Lutheran Church in Monett where her parents are members. Having almost three more months with Chloe than originally expected giving her family more time to make memories, has been a treasured blessing. Knowing that one day they will forever be with their baby girl in Heaven gives Chloe’s family hope and comfort. Chloe is survived by her parents, Mark and Johna (Salchow) Fellwock and her siblings, Bailey, Hayden and Riley Fellwock, of the home; maternal grandparents John and Karen Salchow of Billings; paternal grandmother Kathryn Schoen and husband Maurice of Monett; Uncle Jason, Aunt Sharon Salchow and their three children, Jared, Jenna and Josie of Billings; Aunt Cheryl, Uncle Tracy Todd and their two children, Britany and Hannah of Nixa; Uncle Phillip Fellwock and family of New Mexico. Chloe was preceded in death by her paternal grandfather Larry Fellwock, and infant cousin James Salchow. Services will be held at 10:30 a.m. Wednesday, March 27, at Trinity Lutheran Church, Freistatt, with the Revs. Richard Cody and Jeff Sippy officiating, under the direction of Buchanan Funeral Home, Monett. A benefit fund has been established at First State Bank in Monett, or contributions may be left at the church. The Fellwock family would like to thank Hospice Compassus of Monett with a special thanks to Nurse Bill for his gentle, grandfatherly, sweet care for Chloe and her siblings. Also, thank you to everyone who has contributed to Chloe’s care through their cards, gifts, meals and especially their prayers. Psalm 127:3, Behold, children are a heritage of the Lord and the fruit of the womb is his reward.

In Memory VICKY HOPE STONE
Aurora - Vicky Hope Stone passed away Monday, March 18, 2013, in her Aurora home surrounded by her family. She gave us one last smile to remember her by as the sun came out from behind the clouds. She was born in Reeds Spring Feb. 19, 1941. She met Kennith Stone the evening when she informed him he had a flat tire on his car. She proceeded to show him how to fix that tire. From that meeting, she knew she had met the love of her life. They were married Oct. 29, 1959. Together, they raised three children. They worked side by side on their dairy farm in Aurora and were married 41 wonderful years when he passed in 2002. They shared the laughter and tears that only a dairy farmer can understand and appreciate while building a community of loving friends who stood by her side until she left our world. She is survived by her adoring children, Debbie (husband Kevin) Newbold, Darin (wife Donna) Stone, Tracy (wife Jacqueline) Stone, all of Aurora; grandchildren, Kevin Shea and Kristi Newbold of Aurora, Kayle and Kelly Newbold of Shell Knob, Meghan Newbold of Aurora, Derica and Parker Anderson of Spring Hill, Kan., Dayle Stone of Republic, Dustin Stone of Aurora, Traves Merrick of Miller and Kris Stone of Republic; and greatgrandchildren, her little munchkins, Lilyana and Wyatt Newbold and Cohen and Cael Anderson. She is also survived by her sisters, Roni Jackson of Springfield, Rene (husband Clifford ) Ritter of Springfield, Ginger (husband Bob) Stone of Highlandville, and Connie Kerr of Wisconsin; and beautiful nieces and nephews and dear friends that shared her joy and tears. In addition to her husband, she was preceded in death by his parents Dan and Dorothy Stone; her parents Floyd and Frankie Blevins; and two brothers, RK and Tex Blevins. She enjoyed gardening, quilting, reading, talking to her grandchildren and friends and long walks to rainbow Forrest telling stories and looking for unicorns. She never missed a chance to feed whomever walked through her door. Her family came first in every aspect of her life. She taught us how to hug and love one another. She will be missed, but her positive outlook on life will last forever in our memories. A celebration of life is planned for 6:30 p.m. Thursday, March 28, at Elm Branch Church, near Aurora. Memorial contributions may be made to Elm Branch Christian Church Women’s Fellowship Quilters Fund. Arrangements are under the direction of Peterson Funeral Home, Aurora.

from an Oct. 20, 2010, incident, the news release from Trotter said. E v i dence presented at the trial indicated Trooper Kelsey Rutledge received Tena Cady information that Joe Cady, Tena Cady’s husband, was in the process of cooking methamphetamine. After gathering three other troopers, Rutledge began a “Knock and Talk” investiga-

Grider was captured after fleeing the scene. He pleaded guilty and was sentenced to five years in prison. Charges are pending against Joe Cady.

RuRal MissouRi Benefits fRoM health caRe DeliveReD locally
Lifesaving care close to home. Supporting jobs and the local economy. Health care in rural Missouri is at risk. Cuts to the state’s hospitals will total more than $4.2 billion by the end of the decade. But, we can do something — reform Medicaid to provide health insurance coverage to low-income, working Missourians who have no health insurance. You know these Missourians. They work on your car, serve you coffee and grow your food. Missouri’s 2.2 million rural residents are less likely to have employer-provided health insurance or prescription drug coverage.
Missouri’s rural hospitals provide essential care locally. ▶ 25% of all Missouri childbirths ▶ 33% of all emergency department visits ▶ 28% of all treatments for heart attacks ▶ 38% of all treatments for poisonings ▶ 36% of all treatments for burns ▶ 31% of all treatments for head injuries
Health care supports rural economies. Medicaid reform will support the rural economy by stimulating jobs. Hospitals and health care providers employ tens of thousands of rural Missourians. And, these workers live and spend their money locally. A strong hospital helps support a strong Main Street. Medicaid reform — crucial to rural Missourians.
Imagine if these services weren’t available close to home.
