Marian Leola Winn Hobbs Children and Youth Room Opens Submitted by LaNita Hackney Dade County Library

Saturday, March 17, 2018, Dade County Library officially opened its new wing, Marian Leola Winn Hobbs Children and Youth Room, to the public in a ribbon-cutting ceremony.

Board of Trustee President, Deanna McLemore and Genealogist, Tom Hobbs, did the honors while several Dade County residents and guests eagerly awaited a viewing.

Dade County Library Director, LaNita Hackney, introduced the staff, Board of Trustees, and special guests including intern architect, Jacob Nentrup, from Butler, Rosenbury, and Partners Architecture Firm in Springfield and Representative Mike Kelley.

Bonnie Mallory was honored as a recently resigned Board of Trustee member of 40-plus years serving the library and Dade County. She was presented with a corsage, a framed certificate, and a plaque. The plaque will be placed in the library in her honor.

Local authors, Sarah Land and Julia Poirot Thoma, were present to sign books and talk to guests.

Sarah lives in Greenfield and has written two books: Justin’s Winter and Winter’s Fall. Julia now lives in the Kansas City area and has written one book: Blacky, the Black Snake. These books are available at the Dade County Library.

Genealogist, Tom Hobbs and Board of Trustee President, Deanna McLemore prepare to cut the ribbon, opening the new room.

Bonnie Mallory, seated 2nd from left, accepts a plaque in her honor.

In celebration, guests were treated to refreshments, contests, door prizes, and even face painting provided by Board of Trustee member, Angela Myers and Theresa Johnson.

Much of the technology in the new addition

was provided through an LSTA Mini-Technology Grant that was approved and began March 1. Fortunately, that means the youth, the Children’s Librarian, and even Pre-K have their own computers.

Special thank yous

need to be given to the staff, their families, the Board of Trustees, Andy Snider Construction, Dave Coplen, and the wonderful patrons for their patience during the construction and change.

Dade County Library wants to invite the public

to come in and see the beautiful addition and the continued changes that are happening at the library. They are a valuable resource funded by tax dollars and generous donations. Step inside their doors and see where they can take you.

To The Voters Of Dade County We would like to take this opportunity to inform the voters of Dade County about an upcoming election ballot issue.

In April of 2017, the voters of Dade County passed the abolishment of Townships Road Boards, which ceased the Road board members being charged with the upkeep and maintenance of the roads in said Township.

The abolishment of

Townships allowed the County to collect a levy of .2168, by Statute, for one (1) year. Upon the completion of that said one (1) year, the County will no longer collect the levy of .2168, which leaves the Road and Bridge Department without funding. Proposition 1, proposes to set a Levy at .50, which will directly fund the county Road and Bridge Department.

In the upcoming

General Municipal Election, April 3, 2018, the voters will have an opportunity to pass and establish a countywide road tax. This proposed county road tax will fund the Dade County Centralized Road Department.

Currently, there is a Centralized Road Department in place and working to maintain and improve the road infrastructure of Dade County, which created jobs, full-

time and part-time. This department is presently funded with the monies turned over to the county from each of the townships, upon the abolishment. These monies will deplete in January 2019.

We ask that you give this your consideration, when casting your ballot, April 3, 2018.

Respectfully, Dade County Commission

David W. Blackford

David W. Blackford, age 74, of Lamar, peacefully passed away Friday afternoon, March 23, 2018, surrounded by family in his home.

Dave was born October 20, 1943, in Barton County, Missouri, son of the late Ray and Viola (Pennell) Blackford.

He graduated from Golden City High School in 1961 and began a career as a truck driver, with most of the countless miles accumulated from daily or nightly Kansas City runs.

In addition to working for a time at Thorco, he owned and operated Dave’s Dry Cleaning for seven years. Selling his business and retiring in 1997 gave Dave more time for hunting, fishing, and, his favorite pastime, camping and boating with his family at Stock-

ton Lake. A great day for Dave would include a few hours on his 1961 Allis Chalmers at the family farm. He was an active member of Lamar United Methodist Church.

On June 20, 1980, in Lamar, Dave married the love of his life, Becky Robertson and she survives of the home. Also surviving are his children, Carla (Kurt) Swartz, Lamar; Tim (Michelle) Blackford, Oronogo, Missouri; Michael Blackford, Lamar; and Megan (Doug) Stefan, Golden City, Missouri; 10 grandchildren, Bethany, Elly, and Lyndey Swartz; Garrett, Madeline, Jaxon, and Nolan Blackford; Cody, Gabriel, and Levi Stefan; sisters-in-law, Judy Loch, Oswego, Illinois; and Sandy (Earl) Karas, Warrensburg, Missouri; a

large extended Blackford and Pennell family; and many friends.

Funeral services were held Tuesday, March 27th, at Daniel Funeral Home.

Burial will be in Iantha Cemetery.

Memorial contributions are suggested to Lamar United Methodist Church in care of the funeral home. and Condolences memories may be shared at www.danielfuneralhome.net

Robert L. “Bob” Watson, of Greenfield, Missouri, 82, was peacefully called to Heaven on March 23, 2018, at Good Shepherd Nursing Home in Lockwood, Missouri.

Bob was born on October 23, 1935, to Joe “Slats” and Olive Watson in the town of Blairsville, Pennsylvania.

In 1954, Bob joined the United States Marine Corps and was stationed in North Carolina during his enlistment. He returned to Missouri after completing his service and found a position with Borden’s Dairy as a driver on a daily route, delivering milk door to door.

After a few years of delivering locally, Bob found an opportunity for advancement and took a position as a freight driver with Campbell’s 66, where he was “Humpin’ to Please” as a proud member of Teamster’s Local 245 in Springfield, Missouri.

After a few more years of driving, Bob was elected to the office of Assistant Business Agent for Local 245, a title he was proud to hold until his retirement in 1995.

Bob was much more than his career though.

One of his proudest days was on October 6, 1957, when he married Dolores (Jarrett) Watson of Greenfield, Missouri. Of this blessed union, two daughters were born, Cheryl Kay and Brenda Gay. Cheryl and Brenda were the light of his life. After the tragic loss of both of their daughters, his devotion to Dolores and the

strength of their love saw them both through many trials and tribulations in life allowing them to have spent 60 years of their lives supporting each other.

Bob was many things in his lifetime. He was a husband, a father, a grandfather, a proud Union member, a pillar in his community and a devoted member of the First Christian Church in Greenfield, Missouri.

He spent his life being a servant to his entire community as a positive role model to all of those fortunate enough to have crossed his path. His participation in charitable organizations such as Relay for Life filled up much of his time after retirement.

A constant cheerleader, Bob was proud to support athletics and youth activities in Greenfield and beyond. One of Bob’s favorite teams to cheer on was MSU’s Girl’s Basketball.

Never one to miss out on a chance for a good laugh, Bob was an exceptional jokester who enjoyed the telling of a good joke or the perfect execution of a good prank.

As an avid hunter and fisherman, Bob enjoyed his time in nature, sharing his love of the outdoors with many friends and family over the years. He found a great deal of happiness in playing cards with a group of friends, sitting around a table together and laughing heartily at one another.

His beautifully bassist voice could boom out the heartiest of laughs as well

as the most melodious hymns, as witnessed by many over the years in church and at home. Bob enjoyed singing his favorite tunes everywhere he went, everyday of his life.

Bob Watson was a loving man who spent his life making sure everyone he met knew that they were loved.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Joe “Slats” and Olive Watson; brother, Ben Watson; daughters, Cheryl Kay and Brenda Gay Watson; and son, Roy Lee Watson.

He is survived by his wife, Dolores Watson; daughter, Debbie (Watson) Hare; grandsons, Jason, Ryan and Josh Hare; numerous nieces and nephews; and a host of lifelong friends.

Funeral services were held Wednesday, March 28, 2018, in Greenfield Funeral Chapel. Burial followed in Greenfield Cemetery.

Memorial contributions may be made to the Greenfield First Christian Church Memorial Fund.

Online condolences may be shared at www.greenfieldfuneralchapel.com.

Services were under the care of Greenfield Funeral Chapel.

The Arcola Christian Church hosted a trivia night contest on Saturday evening, March 24, to raise funds for a mission trip to Jamaica.

A large crowd enjoyed a delicious meal at 6 p.m., followed by the trivia contest and silent auction items.

The fun filled evening raised $1,746.50.

A huge thank you goes to Joe Dee and Trisha Beach.

Letter to Editor: Another

I have heard through the grapevine that thrives here in Lockwood, as it does in most small towns, that some on our City Council want to create a ball field on South Park.

My first thought was, WHERE in South Park?

It is a small place that already has a basketball court, covered pavilion, a restroom, a bandstand, several pieces of playground equipment and an outdoor classroom. It's a great park. Especially since Grace the Earth has graciously taken it on as a project for their foundation.

Grace the Earth is a not-for-profit foundation created by family members of Grace Backs, to honor what was her life long love for and dedication to protecting the environment.

Ball Field At South Park?

They and their volunteers-that include Lockwood schools and many others-have for several years, taken on the revitalization of South Park.

Repairs to the city bandstand, the painting of playground equipment, the creation of an outdoor classroom, the addition of several benches and extensive landscaping are the result of considerable funds and hours of labor spent in dedication to improving the park.

In addition, many in the community have donated trees in memory of loved ones through Grace. These marked trees were planted and are maintained by GTE volunteers, as is all their additions to the original landscaping.

One project, and one done at considerable ex-

pense (thousands of dollars) and hours of labor, is a prairie (wild flower) garden, on the east edge of the park. This is the area I believe is the ONLY place left that could even be targeted as use for a ball field, which would be beyond awful, but anywhere there is nonsensical.

Really, is it necessary to sacrifice such a place for another ball field?

Aren’t there alternativesschool yards, open spaces in Smith Park or even empty lots owned by the city?

The answer is yes. I, for one, am aghast even at the thought of adding one to South Park. If there are any like minded people, please let the Mayor and Lockwood City Council know.

Everton School Library Book Fair Submitted by Melody Drawbond

The Everton School Library has been gearing up for book fair, which was held from Monday, March 26 - Friday, March 30.

The theme is “PAWS FOR BOOKS: Come.

Stay. Read a Great Tale!”

We have held many events to spur anticipation. There has been a book raffle, where students could pay 25¢ to get a ticket to put in for the book or a poster they would like to win.

We have also held a called, “Paw game Punch,” where students paid 25¢ to punch into a compartment of their choice and win a prize.

Prizes included Zots, a variety of “pawsome” prizes, a 50¢ item, or a book from the book fair.

We have also been holding a “Snack Wars Change Drive.” Students vote with loose change for the snack of their choice: “Pupcakes” or Puppy Chow.

To match the theme,

All A Honor Roll 6th Grade Payton Farmer Audrie Foster

we have had the following spirit days: “Cats vs.

Dogs", in which 3rd grade won the most spirited challenge.

As a part of "Cats vs Dogs" day, we collected dog and cat food, toys, and treats for the Southwest Humane Society.

Since more cat items were donated, it was determined that cats rule and dogs drool.

Next there was “All Other Tails Day,” where students dressed as their favorite animal. First grade won that challenge.

In honor of our mas-

cot, we will be holding Tiger Pride Day. Participating students will receive a scratch off prize ticket, which will include some book marks, books and posters from the bookfair.

Always an important part of our anticipation activities is a reading challenge. This spring’s goal is for the students to earn 800 AR points in the 16 school days before the start of book fair. Should the students win the challenge, Principal Harden will spend a day in a doghouse on a nice, sunny day outside on the

playground.

We have also held some contests for the students. PreK to 1st Grade had a coloring contest.

First Grader, Miss Riley Kenney is the winner.

There were poster contests for grades 2-3 and 45. Third Grader, Josh Daniels and Fifth Grader, Zayn Powers were the winners of their prospective categories.

We look forward to hosting the scholastic book fair and hope you can make it to look at the variety of books available or to attend one of our events.

Trudell News

by Blanche Trudell We saw a few turkeys on the farm but no gobblers, just a couple of hens. I like to call them up and listen to them answer.

As a child in northern Missouri, we raised tame turkeys on our farm. They were really good eating, and we had them for all holidays. They seemed to taste better than the wild ones do, at least to me. We had a big family with a lot of cousins, uncles and aunts around. Every summer, three cousins came to stay with us, as their mother had died and grandmother kept them in Cameron during school. They liked to come to the farm during the summer and help with the garden, etc.

I finally got all the loose pictures boxed up for all of our children.

Now, I have to get them to each one and make more room for other JUNK! Sometimes it seems like most of the things in the drawers are old and just junk. I dig them out and use some things once and awhile. I did find a few more pictures of the Edwardas children and take them to Laura plus her sun glasses she forgot the other day.

Thad Burrows came over and cut up some downed wood for his fire place and visited for a while. He seems to be enjoying his retirement, with fishing, hunting whatever is in season, and working on his house in Springfield, or things here on the farm.

Jerry Sullivan and I went to visit the guys in the jail in Stockton this week. The census is

down, a little, but that gave us a little more personal time with each one, as we only have so much time to do our ministry. I took them some peanut- butter balls for Easter. Mark Mitchell surprised us and came to assist. It is always good to have an extra hand so we can do a little more one-on-one attention.

Joe is enjoying the cool weather, not too cold or not too hot to work outside and fewer wasps to sting him.

We lost his cousin, Vera Clark, this past week. Her funeral will be in Independence, Missouri, Sunday, the 25th and Monday, the 26th, so we will try to make it on Monday. I was very close to Vera and her husband (Red) as we spent a lot of time with them when we lived in Independence before moving to the farm.

Easter will be here on April 1st along with April Fools Day, and Joe’s and my 35th anniversary, so only once in a great while can you hide Easter eggs without putting candy in them then say to the kids April Fool! HA! HA! May God bless us all, those who are serving our country, those in the nursing homes, all the people who have been sick or lost loved ones. God Bless America!

May God bless us all! And have a blessed day!

by Cletis McConnell Vedette Reporter

A 12-year-old Republic boy was injured in a 2vehicle crash Sunday, March 18, 2018, at 9:30 a.m., at Lawrence 2020, 10 miles south of Lockwood in Lawrence County.

Julian Henderson was westbound on a 2005 Honda 400 EX ATV when

he crossed the center line and slid into the path of an eastbound 2008 Dodge Ram, driven by Carri D. Ferguson, 39, of Golden City.

Both were wearing seat belts, the Highway Patrol reports.

bulance to Cox Medical Center South in Springfield.

The Honda was removed by owner and the Dodge Ram was driven from the scene.

Investigating the accident was Trooper J.B. May of the Missouri State Highway Patrol.

son, Ricky, had a little mishap over the weekend and ended up at urgent care. Took several stitches in the knee and we want to wish him a speedy recovery.

McKrae Daniel celebrated his 3rd birthday over the weekend with a huge crowd of rowdy cowboys and gals.

Looked like everyone had a great time.

Aunt Carolyn Fa Myers was rushed to the hospital Saturday morning. She hasn't felt well for several weeks and was dehydrated and had an infection. She will be a patient at Mercy for several more days. Wishing her a speedy recovery.

Mom sent Uncle Bob & Billy some homemade noodles and chicken Sunday. I stopped and delivered the goodies and visited for a while.

Lyla Prichard got a 1 rating with her piano solo at the Stockton Music Festival over the

weekend. Congratulations, Lyla!!

Was sorry to see in Sunday’s paper that Becky Hurd's father, Wayne Gregory, Sr., 89, of Springfield, passed away March 23, 2018. He is grandpa to the Poirot kids, Ben, Nina & Marie, who graduated from GHS. His service will be Thursday in Willard.

Sympathy to all those who have lost loved ones.

My daughter-in-law, Martinique Hawkins, lost her mother this week. Colt & Martinique have both been in Washington, D.C., where her service was Friday. Martinique is from a huge family of 10 children so even though it was a sad time they were all glad to get to see each other since they all live in different parts of the country.

Everyone have a great week and don't let anyone fool you too bad on April Fools Day!!

Backroads of So. Greenfield by Carmen Hargis Baker spent one day at the Gateway Arch National Park in St. Louis. I haven't been up in the Arch since I went back in high school with Beth Killingsworth & family.

Never did like getting into that capsule and riding to the top.

Debbie Fearnow went on a horse camping trip over spring break.

Also Dawn & Shanna Toler went on a horse trip, too. They may have gotten a little chilly while out riding.

Last Tuesday, Shirley Wilmoth, Mitzie Zerr and two other ladies went and saw Kinky Boots at Juanita K Hammons Hall. It was a pretty entertaining they said.

Then later in the week, Shirley and twelve of her friends spent the day at the Pioneer Woman Mercantile in Oklahoma. Lots of picture taking especially with the star's hubby.

By the time you read this, Rodney Kramer should have had heart triple by-pass surgery.

We wish him a speedy recovery.

Last Thursday, Rick got a call that his Dad

had fallen in the pasture and was rushed to the hospital. Turned out he had a dislocated shoulder and was in a lot of pain. They put it back in socket and sent him home late that night.

By Sunday, he was in a lot of pain with his wrist and hand. So back to the ER for more XRays. Nothing showed up broke but a bad sprain and arthritis. Rick will be taking him to see an orthopedic on Monday and possibly have an MRI. When you turn 90 years old, that is a time to slow down as we have all told him. Hopefully, he will have a more restful week and a speedy recovery.

He has had a lot of people stopping in and visiting him over the weekend which he enjoys.

Was sorry to hear longtime friend, Bob Watson, 82, passed away March 23 at the Lockwood nursing home. Bob will be remembered by his big hugs and smile. I don't believe he ever met a stranger. Sympathy is extended to his loving family.

The school raised a record amount for scholorships, technology and other school improvements.

The school thanks everyone for the generous outpouring of support for this event year after year.

A special thanks goes to the hard working auctioneer, Randy Hayes; to all who donated items; to the monetary sponsors; to the hard working volunteers; and to the community for turning out for the festivities.

It was really appreciated.

Randy Hayes, auctioneer, takes bids.

The cooks hard at work, cooking up the fish.

All enjoy their meal and visiting while waiting for the auction to begin.

What Is A “Maundy,” And Why Is It This Thursday?

Submitted by Pastor Mary Kay Glunt Stockton Presbyterian Church

This Thursday, March 29th, Stockton Presbyterian Church will hold a Maundy Thursday service at 6:45 p.m. We invite you to attend and worship with us.

Growing up in the Roman Catholic Church, the Thursday before Easter was Holy Thursday. In fact, the whole week before Easter was Holy Week (and still is).

In the Protestant tradi-

tion (churches other than Roman Catholic or Orthodox), the day is often called Maundy Thursday.

The word “maundy” comes from the Scriptures, a shortened form of mandatum (Latin), which means "command." This goes back to Jesus’ words: "A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another" (John 13:34).

This past Sunday, the Christian churches celebrated Palm Sunday, remembering Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusalem.

The people waved palm leaves and shouted, “Hosanna!” as Jesus rode by. Throughout the next few days Jesus talked with the people, taught His disciples, and reminded everyone that He was going to die, but no one really understood.

At the Passover meal, when Jesus shared the bread and wine with the disciples—men and women who left everything to follow Him, He explained that he was going to sacrifice his own body and blood as a payment for the sins of the world, using the bread and the wine as symbols of his own suffering to come.

Then Jesus told them, “Do this to remember me” (Luke 22:27-38; John 13:217).

This is why the churches observe communion, or the Lord’s Supper— some daily, some weekly, some monthly, etc. In each case, we share together at the table, not to “re-crucify Jesus,” but to remember, to keep in the forefront of our minds that our forgiveness, although free to us, wasn’t free. Jesus paid the price, dearly.

That night, Jesus did a few things, and one of them

was to wash the disciples’ feet. While some churches still observe this practice, it has fallen away for a large part of the church. Peter complained that Jesus, their teacher, should not be doing a servant’s job of washing the guests’ feet, but Jesus insisted. This act demonstrated Jesus’ humility and love for the disciples. He took the servant’s place, although He was a King, the King of all kings. Paul talks about this truth in Philippians 2. “6 Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; 7 rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. 8 And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death— even death on a cross!”

Why Maundy (Holy) Thursday? To remind us of Jesus’ command to love one another as God has loved us. To remind us of Jesus’ selfless example, not seeking his own way, his own justice, his own recompense, but giving of himself, laying down his life to save us. To remind us to be servants of God first, rather than serving ourselves.

Join us this Thursday evening, March 29th, at our Maundy Thursday observance, combined with our regular Celebrate Recovery service.

The soup dinner begins at 6 p.m., and the service will begin at 6:45 p.m.

A semi-traditional service, there will be a time for foot or hand washing, if you wish to participate.

We will serve communion as Jesus did, and there will be music and time for personal reflection.

Celebrate Recovery open share groups will meet after the service, for those who wish to attend. Child care will be available.

For more information, call the church at 417-2765331 or e-mail stocktonpresbyterianmo@gmail.com.

Blessings!

Is it true? Spring is just around the corner?

Easter is the first of April.

It’s early this year.

Happy birthday to my sister, Maxine Cox, of Lamar. Her birthday is April 4. I won’t tell you her age, but I will tell you she has worked 36 years at the Lamar Greenhouse.

She is working part time this year, helping them out with their spring planting.

Maxine has a greenthumb for growing plants. I don’t have that talent but I am happy the tulip bulbs I planted last

fall are coming up. The first time I have had tulips. I hope they bloom.

It seems Doug and Frances Reynolds have already gotten the camping fever, as they left with their camper this Sunday afternoon for a few days of relaxing at Stockton Lake.

March madness is going now on TV and the Old Timers Tournament was going on in Miller, Missouri, at the high school on the 17th and 18th. I always go to that to watch the men play basketball together again as they did when they

were boys attending Miller High. It’s a good way for them to renew old friendships and get a little exercise. After a game, they all come off the floor looking hot and exhausted.

My son, Steve, gets his team up of mostly relatives, because they went to school at Miller. It’s not as easy making scores as it did when they were younger. I believe there were six teams. The players Steve recruited for the team are husbands of his neices, one is his son-in-law and a few are friends. Also

some are his nephews.

Liz Hunt tells me her new business at the end of Main Street in Miller has picked up since the is getting weather warmer. The reason she named it Around Here is because everything in her store is homemade by people around here.

It’s good to support our local businesses to keep out town alive.

The shows at the Sycamore Jamboree on 174 Highway and O, have started up again.

Don Carpenter closes down the Friday night shows January and Feb-

ruary, because of unpredictable weather. We still had practices every Wednesday night, weather permitting. We always had an audience for that no matter how cold it was. People like good old classic country music. Shows are every other Friday night, starting around 6:30 p.m. to 9:30. If you like to sing, put your name on the board. There is no admission. Coffee and water are available.

The shows started again March 9 with a full house. The next one after this article comes out will

be April 6. I got a real surprise with 27 of my family members showed up at Sycamore March 9, to watch their mom and grandma make a fool of herself singing and playing the keyboard withthe house band.

Some have told me they will come back and sing sometime. They do a much better job than I do.

I, too, will miss Marlene at the Vedette, but she certainly deserves retirement time to do what she pleases. Good luck, Marlene. A job well done!

Saturday morning got word that Ms. Paisley was up most of the night so they took her to urgent care and she had a severe ear infection. We missed her at breakfast.

She has called on Friday night to remind me that it was to be pancakes and bacon.

I went and visited with my mother, Betty Vandegrift, on Saturday morning and we ate lunch out.

Stopped by to see Stran and Jasper. Stran was asleep and Jasper had just woke up.

Came home and just puttered around the house. Kim had been out working on the farm all day and came in and decided we should go out

for supper. I did not argue.

Sunday morning went to church and had a ladies retreat meeting afterward. It is time to get it in full swing now. Be watching for more information.

Stran and Jasper were in good moods. Jasper is now crawling. So nothing is safe on the floor.

Afterwards, I visited in the home of Royce and Conita Vandegrift. Dropping off school reunion stuff for them to work on for their class. Had a good visit. Their grandson, Triston, will be getting out of the Marines in April and will be getting married in November.

They will be glad to have him home after being

gone for 4 years.

Life is so busy, we just don’t take time to stop and visit anymore. Kelbey was meeting all her high school girlfriends that afternoon at the home of Jamie White.

With all these toddler around, it running wouldn’t be safe around there.

Welcomed the rain on Monday morning as we need some more. You can see a hint of green in the pastures.

I have battled a cold or something for a week and decided to go to our coworkers clinic and I had a sinus infection.

Went on medication plus steroids. If I am going to do it something, let’s do it up right.

I have missed the letter/information that was given regarding the Dade County Health Department. I have been asking a few question and trying to find out what all is going on there. As I said before, it is my tax dollars that is running the place so I think we need to know what is going on. I understand there is some type of question answer thing that is going on March 30. I need to find out more about what that is all about.

Nephew, Blake Vandegrift, will be graduating from college in May and great niece, Brooke Willard, will be graduating from Willard High School. These are grand-

children of Betty Vandegrift.

Eric Steeley started a new job on Monday and I texted him to see how it went. He said it was a good day. Those first few days/weeks of any new job is stressful.

Been talking to sister, Linda Coble, a lot since she is getting up their 50th reunion from Everton High School. It just hit me that it is my 40th reunion from Everton High School. That makes you feel old, but Linda is still older. Ha!!

Linda and Don Coble were treated to a overnight stay at Downstream for their anniversary this past week.

Johnny and Carlene Coble took them out for a night on the town. Enjoyed good food and lots of visiting. They reported a good time.

To those that have lost loved ones, may God comfort you to get you through the many trials ahead of you. Never easy to lose a loved one and we are never ready either.

Watching on the news the other night about the old church in Springfield that this elder couple had taken care of for years and they rent it out to other churches for $1.00 a year and ask them to do repairs. So sad to watch a church get into such a condition. Hopefully, some churches will pull together and get something going on this church. It showed the little lady ringing the church bell. Makes it so real.

Kelbey and Asa Bowles celebrated their anniversary on the 20th.

They enjoyed supper out with the boys. Boy, has their life changed in the past 3 years. And there has not been any silent nights at their house for several months.

Kim had a birthday on the 12th; brother-inlaw, Don Coble, had a birthday on 10th; and Aunt Mary Lee March had her 90th on the 11th.

Don and Linda Coble wedding anniversary on the 21st. Been a busy month. My dad would have turned 88 on the 16th.

Praying that Paul Jones is having a speedy recovery from his stroke.

I have been keeping up with him through different ones.

Continue to keep all of those in your prayers that are having health issues. So many to name, but my locals are Allen Wright, Tom Walters and Charla Montgomery.

The special invitation letters are going out for the 50th class reunion of the Everton class of 1968.

The classes receiving these letters will be 1962 to 1975. Since the classes were so small and at that time, everyone knew each other through their other brothers and sisters.

My sister, Linda Vandegrift-Coble and her life long girlfriend, Glenda Mallory-Blakemore, are getting this together with a committee of about 10 workers helping to pull this together.

The special day will be Saturday, July 28, 2018, at the Everton Gym which is air conditioned.

Anyone that ever attended Everton is welcome to come along with past teachers, co-workers, etc. If you have special memories from Everton, please bring them for others to enjoy.

Registeration will be at 10:30. Short program at 11:30 and, for $12.00 per person, our meal will be served at 12.30.

Following the meal, there will be tours of the school and lots of visiting. For more information, call Linda at 417-224-7842 or Glenda at 300-0656. I believe all money has to be turned in by the second week of June. I don’t know how it happened, but some how Suzanne Steeley and myself got roped into being in charge of serving the meal. I wonder how that happened. Suzanne said after visiting with Linda a couple times at the school, she figured out real quick that we were sisters, two peas in a pod.

Ha!!

Easter is next Sunday and we will see lots of Easter lilies, fancy dresses, easter baskets and eggs everywhere.

Just remember what Easter is all about.

God is here for us all the time and let’s give him more than 2-3 times a year. You would be surprised at how much better your life is when you have a church family to count on.

As I heard on the radio this morning, you live in the Southwest and there is a church on every corner. They should all be busting at the seams.

Right?

Just a thought. When you pray for others, God listens to you and blesses them; and sometimes, when you are safe and happy, remember that someone has prayed for you.

Candidate Profiles of Candidates for Dade County Health Department Board of Trustees

M. Chrissy Welch

Hello, I am M. Chrissy Welch and am asking for your support in the April 3rd election for a position on the Dade County Health Department’s Board of Trustees.

My husband and I made the choice to move to Dade County 16 years ago, so that we could raise our children in a smaller, tighter-knit community where they would be safe and would be able to build lifelong friendships as they grew up. Now, three out of our four children have graduated – one has given us a beautiful granddaughter, one is a manager at Lowe’s, and one is a member of the National Guard and is currently attending school at Southeast Missouri State University. Our youngest

son is a sophomore at Greenfield and he participates in a variety of school activities, both athletic and academic.

I currently serve as the Public Administrator for the county and have been honored to have held that position since 2013. Since becoming a part of this community, my family and I have strived to give back in any way possible and to work to help make improvements wherever we can.

Our health department serves a vital role for all county residents; from the Live Well Fitness Center to the evening medical clinics, vital record to vaccinations.

Every member of our county can be served in some way by our Health Department. That is why I feel so compelled to be a part of the Board of Trustees; so that I can continue to serve the citizens of Dade County, and ensure that our health department is able to utilize every resource possible to provide needed and necessary programs to our community members.

I would be honored to serve as a trustee.

she had attended. She said, “We should be aware of House Bill 2660.” Also, retired teachers should keep legislation under observation on vouchers and charter schools.

Vicky Orr, Region 9 vice president, invited all of us to attend the Regional 9 meeting in Monett on Monday, April 16, 2018. Our guest also recommended that we keep a close eye on email messages from Jim Krieder, executive director of the office staff, letting us know of any problems or good news.

Guest, Ruby Vincent, shared that the foundation would be sending out address labels soon.

The receipts from these are used to support grants.

Guest speaker, Kurtis Estes, shared his experience of working to rebuild a church for black citizens in Pine Bluff, Arkansas. In this community, the population is 85 percent black. Time and effort must be put into raising a future successful community.

Meeting adjourned.

The next meeting is April 16, 2018, in Monett.

On April 3, 2018, the voters in the Miller R-ll School District will have an opportunity to vote on the Proposition KIDS (Keep Improving District Schools) initiative.

Proposition KIDS is a $1,250,000 No Tax Increase Bond Issue. If the No Tax Increase Bond Issue passes, the Miller Rll School District will utilize the funds to upgrade the existing high school cafeteria to provide additional space for our students; construct a new band/choir room at the high school to provide adequate space for our

band and choir programs; and construct an auxiliary gym at the high school to provide gym space to meet the practice needs of our school athletic teams, promote more varsity/junior varsity boy and girl basketball doubleheaders and provide additional gym space to help meet the practice needs of our local youth teams.

In addition, the Miller R-ll School District has applied for a FEMA Safe Room Grant at the high school. If the district is selected to receive the funds for the safe room, the district will utilize the grant money to make the band/choir room a com-

munity safe room. If the district is not selected to receive the grant money for a safe room, the band/choir room will not be a safe room due to the added expense.

A visual of the proposed high school cafeteria remodel, new band/choir room, and auxiliary gym is available at the Miller Superintendent’s office.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Dr. Storm, superintendent, at 417-4523515. We look forward to our continued partnership as we strive to build a brighter future for our students.

David Amirault

My name is David Amirault and I am a candidate for the Dade County Health Department Board.

I am a resident of Dade County, Missouri, with an office in Greenfield.

My qualifications for this position are fairly unique; I am currently an attorney licensed in the State of Missouri and the Federal District Court of Western Missouri. As a result of my legal training, I am more than versed in the State Statutes, Codes, and Regulations; which allows me to provide objective opinions (in nearly every situation).

Furthermore, I am a good candidate for this position for the following reasons: I am fair, unbiased, and practical. I will always fulfil my duty to act and think diligently, honestly, and with honor.

Therefore, I hope that I can make a positive impact in the Dade County Health Department and can give back to the community which I call home.
