Everton R-III Superintendent Janson To Step Down

By James McNary

After six years at the helm of the Everton R-III school system, Superintendent Karl Janson announced last week that he would be stepping down at the end of this school year.

“It’s a God thing,” said Janson. “The current superintendent in Cabool was given an opportunity she couldn’t pass up, so that’s where I’ll be going next.”

Janson said the Cabool school system has a lot of similarities to where the Everton district was six years ago –

Karl Janson

but at about three times the size.

“I believe I’ll be leaving Everton better than I found it; the goal is to always be making things

better for the students,” said Janson. “I think we’ve been very successful at that.”

In his time at Everton, Janson has overseen the process to fund and carryout the renovation of the high school building, portions of which date to the 1940s, getting the district back on a stable financial footing, and significant improvements in student achievement.

The capstone, as Janson calls it, was being recognized as the Missouri Outstanding Rural School District for 2016-

17 by the Missouri Association of Rural Education.

“We couldn’t have done any of that without the support of this fantastic staff and community,” said Janson.

Improvement in student achievement is credited to the reduction of teacher turnover to essentially none, says Janson, which he attributes to the implementation of a four-day school week, as well as creating a school environment and culture that makes it an enjoyable place to work.

“My attitude is that I

want the best teacher in the classroom, first and foremost,” said Janson.

Janson said that the board will be meeting in a couple of week to pick candidates for interviews and plans to have a successor in place by the middle of May. As for advice to his successor about undoing any of the changes he’s implemented: Don’t.

“They better not, or I’ll come back,” Janson said, straight-faced.

“Trust your staff, trust your community and always do what’s best for the kids.”

Letters To The Editor Missing Companion Animal

I’ve been missing my 15-year-old Chihuahua.

She’s got cancer and has been without her medicine for a week now. I’ve got to bring my baby home. I live in Ash Grove but anyone could’ve picked her up and taken her, Melissa at city hall as well as friends, relatives are searching.

She is brown with white chest and paws, she has a small scar on side from a hot spot where the hair didn’t grow back; brown, cloudy eyes;bad cough and wheezing. She’s not had her meds in a week. Wearing thin pink harness, missing from, Chandler Avenue and College Street. She cannot hear well, so I clap my hands so she hears me. Missing a few teeth.

This is a companion dog.

She’s all I have. If you have her, please give her back.

She’s sick.

She’s not your dog and medicines alone will cost $100 a month.

Owner will decline over this loss. No closure, too much to bear. The dog does have cancer but vet said I had one more year at least before she would be suffering or die ,since her heart was so strong.

Reward offered. I want her back regardless of condition.

In Ash Grove heading north toward Walnut Grove, someone saw someone driving slowly behind her and thought perhaps the driver picked her.

Thank you, Cheryl Chamberlain

Class Act

Last night (5-22-18) my son played against the Dadeville 9-10-year-old boys baseball team. We traveled from Lamar and it was my first time ever coming there even though I grew up in this area.

As we got about halfway to Dadeville, my son exclaimed

that he had forgotten his baseball cleats and had nothing other than the socks on his feet. Imagine my surprise and utter panic as I realized we had no time to even remedy the situation because it would’ve caused us to miss most of the game to turn around to get them.

I contacted several other teammates’ parents and no one had a pair of old tennis shoes in their car. We decided to continue on and see if we could figure something out once we got to the game.

My husband made inquires of other parents when we reached the ballfield, and we had an amazing coach from the Dadeville team offer to let my son borrow a pair for the game.

What a CLASS ACT to offer to help a player from the opposing team in their hour of need ... WOW! I don’t know her name but to the Mom who helped out this Mom ... thank you and God bless.

Exterior at the Greenfield Hot Spot gets updated before the Holiday

Greenfield public pool is open for the summer, private parties on Sundays

The winners from the opening day drawing for one free individual 2018 season pass to the pool are Gwen Septer and Ricky Long. The passes can be picked up at the pool office.

The city maintenance department has asked the pub-

lic not to wear metal hair clips, bobby pins, bracelets, hair ties with metal pieces, etc. to the pool. They sink to the bottom, the chlorine eats away at them and then the metal leaves rust spots on the pool bottom.

Prices for the 2018 pool

season are: 0-3 years old $1, 4-16 $2, and 17+ $3, individual season passes are $40 and a family pass is $75.

Pool parties are available for booking on Sundays, and can be scheduled with the pool manager at 417-637-2889 or with city hall 417-637-2532.

Just in time for Buffalo Days, the Hot Spot convenience store on State Highway 39 received a refreshed exterior with new imaging. Store owner Chase Wilmoth said that it was the first time the store’s exterior look had been updated since it was built. “This store was built in about 2003 or so, and it was time to give it a new look,” said Wilmoth. The new look was achieved by wrapping the tops of the fueling canopy and store building with vinyl wraps, which Wilmoth says is much faster and less expensive than painting, similar to how most billboards are now done.

The Greenfield store, officially Hot Spot No. 4 is owned and operated by Greg and Chase Wilmoth, as one of five owned or franchised by the Wilmoth Companies of Mt. Vernon. (Photo by James McNary)

How to Properly Remove a Tick

From Dade County Health Department

1. Use fine tipped tweezers to grasp the tick as close to the skin’s surface as possible.

2. Pull upward with steady, even pressure. Don’t twist or jerk the tick, this can cause the mouthparts to break off and remain in the skin.

3. After removing the tick, thoroughly clean the bite area and your hands with rubbing alcohol or soap and water.

4. Dispose of a live tick by submersing it in alcohol, placing it in a sealed bag/

container, wrapping it tightly in tape or flushing it down the toilet. NEVER crush a tick with your fingers.

Avoid folklore remedies.

You don’t want to wait for the tick to detach. Thank you to the CDC for the info.

If you have questions contact the Dade County Health Department, 417-637-2345 or visit dadecountyhealthdept.com

American Legion And American Legion Auxiliary Members Enjoy Potluck Dinner From Joanne Snodgrass, American Legion Auxiliary Secretary

A delicious potluck dinner was held on Thursday, May 10, at the Roy E. Carr Post. Commander White greeted all in attendance, asking for birthdays and anniversaries. Joanne Snodgrass gave the blessing and members were asked to please serve themselves.

Following dinner, each group retired to their meeting rooms for their business meetings. President Forst called the auxiliary meeting to order at 7:25 p.m. and a right hand salute was given to the flag of our country. Chaplain Sage gave the prayer. President Forst welcomed members.

Roll call showed five officers and three additional members present. The secretary read the April minutes and they were approved as read. Treasurer Penny White gave her report, and it was approved and filed for audit.

President Forst gave her report. She had attended the Missouri Girls State briefing where she met our delegate, Mary Lynn Grant and her

family. She reported the middle school at Lockwood had invited the American Legion and American Legion Auxiliary members to attend a Webb Class presentation on May 11, 2018. The students had just finished putting hours of work into this project. Several members were interested in attending to show support for our schools. The president reported she had received an email that all units in the Fifteenth District were asked to bring door prizes to the district meeting at Webb City on June 10 to be used at the Department Convention to be held in Springfield at the Oasis Hotel this July.

Americanism Chairman: Vicky Taylor reported she had attended the Lockwood High School Award Assembly and presented the prizes for the Americanism Essay winners. First place was Breez Smith, second place was Abrial Vaughn and third place was Megan Bates. Breez was the Fifteenth District winner as well and it was sent on to Department for further judging.

had a question on Standing Rule 18. After a discussion, Vicky Taylor moved it be left as written. It was seconded and passed. New copies will be printed and given to members at the June meeting.

Community Service: The president encouraged members to keep accurate records listing activity, hours, money spent and number of veterans served each month and turn in at scheduled meetings.

Unfinished business: The president asked if there were any nominations from the floor for the 2019 Auxiliary officers. There being none, Vicky Taylor, the chairman of the nominating committee, moved the Auxiliary members accept the officers named by acclamation. It was seconded and passed with no dissenting votes. New officers for 2019 are: President, Vicky Taylor; first vice president, Darlene Forst; second vice president, Betty Charles; secretary, Joanne Snodgrass; treasurer, Penny White; historian, Chipper Allen; chaplain, Cheryl Sage; and sergeant-at-arms, Bea Roncovitts.

West Side News by Darlene Logan School is out for a short summer vacation and graduates are thinking about their futures. Mothers have been honored and it’s about time to flip the calendars to a summer month. Seems it had just turned to May!

Those who like to plant gardens are happy to get that done. I would like to have a small garden, but my bad back won’t let me do that!

Fresh vegetables are so good and good for your health.

My son-in-law, Dave Gillaspy, has several raised beds.

Maybe he will give me a few veggies.

He and I have a deal. I let him use my pasture and he takes care of my yard.

My son, Steve, likes to garden, but he is not happy with the armadillos that have found it. Is there any way to keep them out of the garden? He would like to know.

A lot of ladies and some men are enjoying planting flowers.

I have a few. I want to thank whoever still puts flowers in the flower boxes in front of their businesses uptown in Miller. My son, Steve, helped the school kids put those in place. Flowers really spruce up a place, so plant lots of them.

Congratulations to the second place that won the beautification award for Miller. Your yard is very pretty and neat.

It’s the place next to Casey’s.

This past weekend was Memorial Day. It’s a day we put flowers on graves and remember those who have finished their life here on earth; for now, anyway.

The Miller community was saddened to hear of the death of Joni Rose. She has fought her illness for a long time. She was ready to rest. My sympathy to her husband, Rick; her daughters and to all her family. It’s only been less than two

years since the family lost Kirk Rose in car wreck. My heart goes out to Elveda, Dave, Tina and all the Rose family.

There are so many stressful things going on, our news tells us about, that it’s refreshing when they show and tell us about something happy. Of course, I am thinking of the royal wedding.

I am one of millions who got up early to watch history in the making and I loved it!

I thought everything about it was beautiful, especially the bride was gorgeous looking.

But, I will say this: I thought our five daughters were beautiful in their wedding dresses, also. I’ll bet the thread in Meghan’s dress cost more than my girls’ dresses all put together! They were homemade.

Going back to the bad stuff happening in the world: I am so concerned about all the shootings going on in our

country and especially at our schools. So many young people ruining their own lives by taking the lives of other young people.

I believe there are so many kids that are unhappy because they have grown up with someone other than their own parents, with no structure or discipline in their lives and also not being taught that God wants them to do good for Him. Instead, they are influenced by Satan, by what they see on TV and videos.

And I might add, I observe people and a lot of parents act like kids themselves. What has happened to loving adult parents? Divorces hurt children.

I heard something on TV recently that I think is good.

A lady started a pen pal club.

She writes letters to school children and they write back.

They can open up their feelings and it teaches them to write in cursive. I like that

idea. I definitely think it’s wrong to not teach writing in school.

You know, we are living in the last days and anything can happen. We may not have electricity to run these computers, etc. Then we will have to write!

Getting back to school security: I wonder how safe our schools are in our area.

I believe we think nothing will happen here, but it could.

Drugs and alcohol affect minds and we are not exempt from that. Sad, but true.

I was at a Miller school event recently and I observed something that I would call unsafe.

I mentioned to a board member but he wasn’t there and no other school officials were there either that I saw. I wish we (the city) could afford to hire reserve officers again that would come to school events and stand in the front hall by the door. My husband,

Bryson, was one of those officers.

I spent the weekend of the 18th at Lamar attending a graduation party. I got into a big rain and hail storm going up there. Then, about 6 p.m., after the party, came another bad storm. They blew the tornado siren. Another one came up in the night. I was staying at my sister’s. I closed my bedroom window and went back to sleep. I had enough of storms.

I had 27 of my family here for Mother’s Day dinner. They pooled their money, my six kids, and gave me a new TV. Can’t beat that!

When the last family left at 7 p.m., I made myself a cup of hot cocoa, put my feet in a pan of warm water with Epsom salts and a heat pad behind my back, turned the TV on to my favorite program and thought, “The end of a perfect Mother’s Day!”

My Turn by Bob Jackson THOUGHTS FOR WEEK I quit caring about British royal weddings in 1776.

We are not given a good or bad life. We are given a life. It is up to us to make it good or bad.

Two Old Golfers: “My old eyes aren’t what they used to be,” said the first old man. He asked his partner, “Did you see where my ball went?”

Other man, “Yep but I can’t remember.”

From A 20-year-old girl: “My ideal man is someone who doesn’t mind if I steal fries off his plate.”

From a 25-year-old man: “I am not arguing. I am explaining why I am right.”

What happens at the campground gets laughed about all year long.

Who remembers sheets on the clothes line and they smelled so good on the bed?

Knowledge is knowing what to say. Wisdom is knowing whether to say it or not.

Moms of little boys: go ahead and soak up that

sweet baby smell. Because in a few years, his feet will stink so badly you will pull the car over, convinced there’s a rotting raccoon carcass in it.

Antioch Pilgrim News by Lesia Jones On Friday, I took off early to get home and pick up Kim and head to Branson for my manager, Kristie’s, wedding.

Kristie is a niece to Tommy Claire of Ash Grove and she was raised in Ash Grove. It was a beautiful wedding and a reception to follow. We were home by 11:30 p.m. Late for these old people to be out driving past our bedtime.

On Saturday, I kept the boys so Kelbey could go to her manager Jean’s, mother’s visitation in Lamar.

My great-niece, Brooke Willard, graduated from Willard High at Juanita K. on Saturday night. Brooke is the granddaughter of my sister, Linda Coble.

Well, my nephew, Blake

Vandegrift, graduated from college. His ball season is not over yet, but it is now for him, as during a game, a ball hit and broke his right hand. Not going to prevent him from starting his new job as it will be lots of books/ reading, etc.

Sunday, I went to church and had a ladies retreat meeting afterward. There was a big bunch at the Montgomery Bottom on O Highway, getting the camp site ready for Memorial Day weekend. They had a big taco cook up for all the workers.

Boy, there were two big down pours that hit our house on Sunday afternoon. I mean a downpour. I had just gotten in the house from picking

up stuff out of the yard. Now, it will have to be done again with all the little limbs. I wondered if all the kids got soaked on their work day.

Memorial weekend is upon us and I was checking out my flower situation. I wonder if my generation is the last that will worry about family graves. I will say someone is keeping flowers on my friend Maggie Jones’s headstone. It looks so nice. Gone but not forgotten.

I am still recovering from my trip to Itty Bitty City with Stran and Paisley. Every time I think about it, I have to laugh. That is a day that will be forever embedded in my mind. They are precious when they are sleeping.

We had a ballgame on Tuesday night. Chloe played at Jasper and Wade played at Lockwood. Kim, myself, Jacob, Abby and Paisley, Dustin and Wade all met at the old bowling alley, Two Sisters Cafe, and had a great meal and wonderful service. Then we headed to the ballgame. Pat and Chuck Daniels were also there watching grandson, Owen, and their daughter, Betsy, and her daughter will be visiting with them for three weeks.

Great-grandma Betty Jones, will get lots of entertainment out of that 18-month-old baby girl. Our Paisley is the social bug. She goes around meeting everyone and makes all kinds of friends. It is so

funny.

On Wednesday night, I kept Stran and Jasper while Asa and Kelbey went out to eat and do the big WalMart run.

I thought they were going to Springfield so I thought it would be a late night. I think they tricked me and went to Mt. Vernon and had a quiet evening when I got the call to bring the boys home.

Happy birthday to Bonnie Kramer. I hope her family was able to pull off their surprise. That is hard to do.

All my children will spend most of the holiday weekend at the annual camp out at the Montgomery Bottom on O Highway. It is beginning to look like a regular campsite with electric hook-up. Next,

maybe water for showers?

I used to hate all the dirt roads, but all these pot holes in the chip and seal is about as bad. I sure hope we start seeing some results from the recently passed road tax. Some of them are deep enough I think we need to fill them in with gravel or something. When you hit it, you know it.

News has to be in early due to the holiday. I am seeing some different changes to the format of The Vedette.

Looking good. I do hope everyone has a safe and fun weekend and be sure and remember your loved ones that have gone on before you.

Can you believe June is same as here?

David and Elaine McElroy are excited to welcome another grandbaby. Laurel Collins Sherer arrived on May 22, 2018, at 8:29 a.m.

She tipped the scales at 9 lbs., 1 oz. and was 20.5 inches long. Her parents are Kylene and Ryan Sherer and she will be welcomed home by her two sisters.

News will be short due to the early deadline this week.

Ali Walters had a huge crowd of family and friends to cheer her on at MSU last Friday night for graduation.

Others graduating from MSU were: Quintin Russell (son of Joe Russell); Julia Myers got her Masters; Emily Daniel teaching degree; and Clark McLemore, civil engineering. All of them had a huge group of supporters to cheer them on.

Congratulations to you all!

Clayton and Shelly McMasters enjoyed a week in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, where Clayton had gone there for work. Shelly likes to tag along and do lots of shopping and sightseeing.

Sorry to hear Jennifer Snider’s son, Dylan, broke his thumb playing baseball and will be out for several weeks. Wishing him a speedy recovery.

Last Saturday, Angie Brown hosted a baby shower for Madi (Stiles) Welsh and baby, Ava, who will be arriving shortly. She received many wonderful gifts that will come in handy.

Congratulations to Greenfield track stars.

Daunte Stafford took 7th place in triple jump and Gage Burns came in 8th at the State Track Meet last week.

Last Thursday, Angie Shepard had to have some outpatient eye surgery. She

suffered for a couple of days and had to make one quick trip back to the doctor.

Hoping all goes well this week.

Was so sorry to get word, Betty Hughes, 69, passed away Sunday morning, May 20. Betty and husband, David, are big supporters of our little South Town Church and she will be dearly missed. Betty had fought a long hard battle with cancer going back and forth to Tulsa since 2014. Betty and David had been married 17 years and she leaves behind her sons and their families. Betty’s service was held Thursday morning and then the South Greenfield Baptist Church served the family lunch since a lot of them traveled from Oklahoma to be here.

We had a good turnout of help and food and want to say thanks to all those who helped.

Sisters, Aspen and Timber

White, and some of their friends spent several days in Gulf Shores, Alabama, at a Music Hangout Festival.

Everyone had a great time.

Last Monday, Mom’s new rider got delivered and so I got to mow the yard. It’s much bigger and I can do it a lot faster.

Last Tuesday. I had to take Rick Myers to the doctor and afterwards, he treated me to lunch at Cooky’s. We weren’t disappointed; it was delicious as always.

Sorry to hear Alysha Glenn’s grandma, Fannie Buttram, 83, of Grove Springs, passed away last week.

Cora Beth Wright and daughter, Kim, spent last weekend in Greenfield.

They had a good visit with Babette Terhune on Saturday night and Sherry Hargis on Sunday.

I want to send sympathy out to all those who have lost loved ones.

after prayer meeting. Charles (Junior) Edwards came by and visited with us. He comes home quite often and helps his mother with all kinds of duties. He is a wonderful son and has always been helpful with his friends. He keeps in touch with lots of different people he has known in church, which was nice to hear. He travels all over the country and pops in at home every few days, as his jobs allow.

All the rain messed up the water system at church but hopefully Joe Trudell and Jerry Sullivan have the problem figured out and it’s working again.

Joe has gotten his birthday present early. Of course, as usual, it didn’t work so we had to take it back to Sears to get it exchanged. They were real nice and hopefully this one will work. It was something he wanted, and SO DID I! As now he can cut

down more brush around the house and fence rows.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend and didn’t get so much sunburn!

Since warm days are here, I have fewer birds at my feeders. And I’m enjoying these nice days sitting in my swing on the porch.

The 4-way stop keeps me entertained.

This weekend, Lockwood will have four family sales: Howard Rader, Carl Woods, Meisenheimer and Schrader.

May all have had a nice Memorial Day weekend.

When I was growing up, it

was known as Decoration Day. My church has it on the 30th; other churches would have it on different Sundays. We would have basket dinners. My folks went to three and if I was with my cousin, I would go with her for the fourth one.

Recently, I saw bits of TV ads: one for Rader’s Store; and an interview with Brandon Easson, manager of an auto parts shop on Main Street.

A warm week to all.

our mouths shut and our lips buttoned. We do have freedom of speech, this is true. But if it causes great crescendos of rising insanity, then we must forfeit it.

At least momentarily. Or until such potentially rising chaotic scene subsides.

Anger will burn. It will destroy. It leads men into slaughterhouses! We must not allow anger. We must never allow it. Our lives go far, far better with no anger strewn along our paths.

A l s o, w e mu s t n o t expedite nor speedily erupt into words. Why? Words grating upon words become tremendous ovens filled with burning fires. Truth, I say.

We must live as decent and honorable men. We must respect all laws. We must respect police and be courteous. Peace and order must be our main atmosphere as we live upon earth.

Should we act in these ways our lives will stretch into long days. They will be lengthful - not snuffed on a midsummer’s night by a copious flow of blood rising from bullets.

We certainly must not die because we did not know how to properly advance “an etiquette regarding safe life.”

You see, weeping mothers may hold us near as we drift weakly into our death on a sad and lonely day.

Trudell News Well, here it is Memorial Day and school is out. The children are enjoying the water and fun of summer, SO WATCH OUT! I am having my usual bout with laryngitis and shortness of breath that I get every year at this time. I guess it’s due to all of the pollen in the air and changing of temperatures.

The doctors had a good knowledge of how to take care of her and all of the prayers that went along helped, too. She was to be in surgery three or four hours, but they got things done in just one hour and 45 Minutes. She is doing well and is all smiles.

Joe and I had a wonderful surprise Wednesday night

Lockwood News by Retha Jones To you may this be a good day for all. Seven years ago was the Joplin tornado.

Again, we were blessed.

Be thankful we live in the middle of the USA. We have enjoyed some nice spring days, a little warm but warmer weather is on the way. Lawns and countryside are so green and clean.

Power was off late Saturday night, causing some of us to be late to or even missing church.

Sunday, Paul and Patty Evermon left for a short vacation of fishing at Roaring River. They do like Roaring River and fishing.

Jim Finley is recuperating at home after having surgery.

And Pat Cole is recovering at home after knee surgery.

She is taking that painful therapy that is necessary. I know because I had surgery on both knees; no pain, now.

When you see a policeman it is good. Without law, without police arresting citizens breaking the law, we may develop into societies filled with turmoil, fear and anarchy.

Regarding police, regarding authority, America’s lawmen are simply acting under their purview when they make an arrest or when they address someone breaking the law.

These law officers do not act upon whim. We, therefore, should listen to policemen when they ask questions.

We should listen without rebuttal since we have been stopped for a reason.

Rebuttals are for courts of law.

When dealing with

police we must not create problems. Why? Problems may erupt into chaos. We must also keep our hands clearly revealed and make no quick moves. We should answer questions without emotion. Sometimes, however, anger arises and scuffles ensue. We must prevent these events. We must keep chaos at bay. We must maintain excellent judgement.

Did you know if we look at the facts in the matter after a bad event has occurred, we may discover that we did cause the bad event purely by letting our wild and wreckless thoughts override our common sense? Simply put, we just couldn’t keep

From Kelsey Frieze Lockwood Library

Tri-County Friends for Animals is a not-for-profit organization that promotes spaying and neutering and humane care of pets. This is the second year they have donated books/ DVDs to local libraries based on that mission.

This year, Tri-County Friends for Animals donated

two books to the Lockwood Library: one is a picture book titled “Let’s Get a Pup! Said Kate” by Bob Graham and one is a service book for middle/ high schoolers titled “A Kid’s Guide to Protecting and Caring for Animals: How to Take Action!” by Cathryn Berger Kaye.

Tri-County Friends for Animals hopes that by giving books promoting responsible

care of pets/animals to local libraries, children and adults will be able to become more educated on the importance of taking care of the creatures that share our community.

The Lockwood Library is pleased to add these two books to their collection! Library staff encourages children and parents to come in and check these books (as well as others) out to enjoy!

Lockwood R-I Board debates roof repairs

By James McNary Articles Editor

Discussion on the condition of the roofs at the high school and elementary/middle schools dominated the May 23 meeting of the Lockwood R-I School District Board of Education, held in the high school media center.

Earlier in the meeting, the board discussed bids from various firms to handle the district’s recently approved bond issue. The consultant hired by the board to assist in negotiations said that of the three responding bidders, the Stern Brothers bid provided the most money at the least cost, after interest and fees.

The Stern Brothers bid could provide the district with about $1.448 million in funding, before fees and interest.

A large portion of that funding is already intended to be used to upgrade and repair portions of the HVAC systems in the elementary/ middle school; there are some classrooms in that building currently going unused due to issues with the current HVAC systems. Another portion is pledged to flooring repairs, and another portion is pledged to pay off the remaining balances on several leasing agreements the district has for various assets.

Superintendent Clay Lasater said that after those priority projects are funded, there’s not going to be a lot of money left to complete-

ly replace the roofs at either school, which are both in need of work.

After Board Member Tina Schnelle asked why not put off the other projects to do the roofs, Lasater explained that the staff felt the other issues were still a higher priority, and that the problem areas on the roofs could be patched if necessary.

Complicating matters at the high school is that a large portion of the building has a flat, gravel-surfaced roof, with electric and gas service lines running across it that would have to be moved to do any work. In several places, earlier repair attempts installed a replacement roof atop an older roof, and now both roofs are leaking.

Lasater said the roofing consultant with whom he has been working said that he felt more confident about the roof at the elementary school, and that necessary repairs there would likely cost about $10,000 and last for 6-10 years. He said the consultant thought that immediate repairs to the worst parts of the high school roofs, which is in really bad shape, could be done for about $10,000$15,000.

“The consultant said that would still be a ‘crap shoot,’” said Lasater. “There are places where there are two roofs… and we don’t know where the water is entering.”

Lasater said the work at the high school could be split into at least three portions,

and that something should be done soon at least about the leaks by the front entrance to the facility.

“We could patch the roofs and kick it down the road until 2024,” said Lasater. “...

[B]ut it could cost a lot and still not work.”

The year 2024 is the next time the district could propose a no-tax-increase bond issue; between then and now, the only funding options available are leasing/ lease-purchase agreements, cutting funding to there programs, or asking voters to approve a tax increase.

Lasater said that the consultant with whom he’s been working, as well as two others he spoke with for second opinions, said that the district is looking at at least $800,000 in roofing repairs/ replacement costs in the next few years, not including roofing sections over the gymnasium or library. There are also issues with the roof over the gymnasium, which is still under warranty, although Lasater said the company responsible for that, TrimCo, keeps putting off meetings to discuss it.

“Repairs could easily be a million bucks,” said Board Member Willie Stefan. “I’m not a fan of patch jobs but it doesn’t seem that we have much choice.”

After discussion was ended, the board voted to: Accept the bid from Bob Hayes for HVAC upgrades, including support for the

Did You Know? by Frank Berry In 1920 Sylvania had a population of nearly 100 souls. To be exact it was 98! Sylvania, eight miles west of Neola, was the eighth largest town in Dade County then. Can you imagine? One tiny building now stands. I don’t know if anyone lives here.

I wonder what was going on in the strip mines then? Lignite coal was being extracted from the land. It is a coal that produces lots of non-burnable clinkers. In the 1950s, there was still an ongoing operation. My family burned Sylvania coal hauled to us by Floyd Wooldridge of Greenfield.

In 1920, W.H. Windes was apparently a chief of some

concern here. He operated a general store and possibly a livery and carriage concern.

A. Leonard probably had a coal operation (My source book is frazzled with missing pages.).

An elementary school continued to operate there into the 1950s, maybe later. My late cousins, Kenneth and Denzil Berry, paid 15 cents for hot lunches in Sylvania while I paid 25 cents for chili beans, cheese and carrot sticks in Greenfield! With orange jello,to boot!

Can you remember the value of a dime? In 1955? I certainly can!

But the chili! The orange jel-

lo! With shredded carrots imbedded! It was certainly well worth it! You couldn’t beat it! In 1955, Greenfield grade school had the greatest cooks in the world! And Sylvania probably did, too!

If you’re ever breezing by Sylvania to take a look. please be careful. I have often seen several deer just before the last little rise lifting into Sylvania. So slow down!
