President Trump Visits Springfield
Just One of Several Visits by Politicians to Area Last Week
By James McNary Articles Editor
With the time until the midterm November elections drawing short, United States President Donald Trump paid a visit to Springfield last Friday night, stumping for U.S. Senate candidate Josh Hawley, who is currently serving as Missouri’s attorney general.
Hawley, who is in a tight race against incumbent Democratic Senator Claire McCaskill, was one of several Republican speakers for the evening, including his wife, Erin, and local Congressmen Billy Long and Jason Smith. The headliner was of course Trump, who spoke for over an hour. ‘Trump in Springfield’ Continued on page 5

The Greenfield Board of Aldermen received a good report of the city’s finances from auditor’s Decker & DeGood during their meeting Sept. 18. The city was also informed by their waste disposal contractor that rates would be increasing by 26 cents. Rachael Day, representing Decker & DeGood, present the findings of the audit to the board. “We found that the city is doing pretty good, though we do have a couple of recommendations,” said Day. “The city has sufficient funds on hand to pay its bills for a year or two with no income.” Recommendations from the auditors include putting in place a policy that approval of credit adjustments
over a set amount should be an action of the board of aldermen; putting in place a policy that all overtime must be approved and by whom; and putting in place a policy tracking fuel consumption in city vehicles. Also recommended was an adjustment of the park fund, which on paper is negative, but that’s only on the city’s books and not at the bank. This could be rectified by enacting a minimum fund balance policy, according to the auditors, primarily just to have a rule on the books. “Everything is great if your cash balance is really high, you really shouldn’t have any problems,” said Day. “Though I do understand having too much cash on hand could disqualify cities ‘Good Report’ Continued on page 14

LETTER TO THE
EDITOR The citizens of Lawrence County: I have recently seen some letters to the editor in our area newspapers regarding the sheriff’s office budget from the law enforcement sales tax (LEST) and the general fund. In order to dispel some misconceptions and misinformation I am writing and including data available to the public at the county clerk’s office. First of all the LEST is for all branches of law enforcement (sheriff, jail, prosecutor, coroner, juvenile office, and justice center). It is not intended solely for the sheriff’s office. At the time the LEST was passed, the county budget was at a critical point. Our
in Lockwood. He was a member of the American Legion Post #372 for over 50 years. Preceding him in death were his parents, Walter and Ruby Voskamp; a sister, Mary; and an infant brother, Harold. Survivors include his wife, Judy Voskamp of the home; two daughters: Deborah Hobbs and husband, Kelton, of Lamar, Missouri, and Dianne Voskamp of Lockwood, Missouri; three grandchildren: Adrienne Burgess and husband, Jordan, of Galena, Kansas; Trevor Hobbs of Lamar, Missouri; and Leyna Mathews and husband, Jeremy, of Nixa, Missouri; and three great-grandchildren, Ethan, Frankie Kay, and Jesse of Galena, Kansas. Funeral services were held Friday, September 21, revenues had been falling and our law enforcement expenses were increasing at a rate never seen before in Lawrence County. Our money reserves were down to unacceptable levels with barely enough to cover any unforeseen emergency. Secondly, public safety will still receive the lion’s share of the general revenue budget. Nearly 54 percent of the expected general revenue fund sales tax revenue of $1.53 million is dedicated to public safety. Additional general revenue funds of nearly $500,000 have been moved to the LEST fund in 2018. The judicial sales tax fund also is budgeted to pay for bailiffs’ salaries, uniforms and fringe benefits, and electronic monitoring of inmates. Thirdly, the sheriff has four funds available. These are available for his use, in his department, at
2018, at Immanuel Lutheran Church. Burial followed in the Immanuel Lutheran Cemetery. Memorial contributions may be made to Immanuel Lutheran Cemetery Fund, Hospice Compassus, or to the Immanuel Lutheran Preschool. Online condolences may be shared at www.greenfieldfuneralchapel.com. Services were under the care of Lockwood Funeral Chapel.
his discretion under statutory guidelines. The Lawrence County Commission has and always will be pro-public safety and law enforcement. With that said, that same commission must deal with the realities of budgeting, which boils down to basic math. The commission must balance the budget and keep enough reserves as are necessary to operate the county. A wise man once told me, “more is never enough,” and unfortunately when it comes to public safety, in today’s environment, that is the case. With that said, rest assured that your commission and sheriff’s office will work together to do all they can with the resources they have. Sam Goodman, presiding commissioner, Lawrence County

Trump in Springfield (Continued from front)
Live Well Student of the Month
The JQH Arena on the Missouri State University campus was practically standing room only, with Hawley announcing that there over 20,000 people turned away at the gate. Several residents of Dade and Lawrence counties were present inside and outside the arena. Area State Representative Mike Kelley was also among those invited to attend as a VIP. There were also several groups of protesters outside, including one very small group advocating for Trump to “Make Pluto a Planet Again.� Mr. Trump took the opportunity to expound on the virtues of voting for Hawley against McCaskill - especially regarding his latest Supreme Court nominee, and rehashed some of his greatest hits since the November 2016 elections. He referred to that night as “one of the greatest nights in the history of the country, but far less importantly, one of the greatest nights in the history of television.�
Mr. Trump also talked about how the tax cuts he helped push through

Congress benefited Missouri families by $4 billion (a number not yet confirmed), how he used his experience in the real estate business to reportedly save $1 billion while moving the U.S. embassy in Israel to Jerusalem, and reiterated that building a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border was necessary - citing as a successful example the wall Israelis have constructed to separate Jewish
Israeli areas from Palestinian Arab areas of the West Bank. He also used the event as an opportunity to take several potshots at the Democratic Party in general.
“They want to destroy your healthcare, destroy your wealth, and raise the hell out of your taxes,� said Mr. Trump. “Democrats are dangerous and, frankly, they are crazy.�

G L A D T I D I N G S A S S E M B LY O F G O D Greenfield, Missouri What an incredibly exciting and stressful time for parents and students. While most families are settling into the routine of being back to school, there are some that are still struggling. For the most part, people in general are resistant to change. So, every year as school starts and summer ends, families are forced into major routine changes. As students re-encounter old and new influences at school, we begin to see behavior changes that we often do not like. This is a place where the church should fill a gap in the lives of families. The church can be a constant throughout the year, while students are in school as well as when they are relaxing for the summer. Pastors and church families can be there for parents and students struggling with life change. However, it is the responsibility of families to make church a priority. Hebrews 10:25 tells us that we should be faithful to church, so we can encourage each other. At Glad Tidings Assembly of God, we exist to create time and space for families to experience the life change that is only available through Jesus Christ. Pastor David Latham and wife, Kristi Latham

Something To Think About by Jim Johnson There is a thought going about these days that our laws are not laws but more like suggestions; that our Constitution says that it, along with treaties, is the supreme law of the land does not seem to matter to some. (Those treaties must be voted on by our representatives before they can become law.) Laws, to many, are serious stuff. In our country, the laws are written by representatives of we the people, a very unique system. In many other countries, the laws are passed down. About 4,000 years ago, the son of a slave brought 10 laws to his people. That they were carved into rocks suggest a permanence. Were these “commandments” just rough guidance on how
to conduct oneself? Now, there was a Babylonian king, in about the same time frame, that concocted a code for his subjects. It was a bit more complicated than the Commandments presented by Moses, but it was the “law of the land.” (Look up the Code of Hammurabi). The code of Hammurabi brings up the idea of an “eye for an eye” and that is not the only place the concept shows up. Here is something to think about: if our laws were indirectly made by “we the people” it would seem that is should be those same people who can change or modify them or even change how they are enforced or interpreted, not some bureaucrat or judge.
rible week, not feeling good at all. They had to put in a feeding tube and pain pump on Thursday. Hopefully this is just part of the process and next week she will have a turn around. Right now she needs all the prayers and positive thoughts you can give her. Last week, Lonnie Hargis and two more of his buddies rode in their wagons pulled by their team of mules and stayed all night at Charles Hargis’s place. Rick Baker went down and visited with them one night and then met them at Ken’s Kafe in Arcola for breakfast as they headed back to Buffalo. I didn’t move over the weekend since I was down with whatever is going around like allergies. Was sorry to miss Richard McMasters’s 70th birthday party his daughter, Angie, held for him at her house. I heard it was a huge success and he was really surprised. What a horrible wreck that was at the top of Y Hill where two vehicles hit head on last Saturday. Roberta Myers suffered a compound fracture in her femur, ruptured spleen, whip lash and many lacerations. She underwent surgery for her leg injury and seems to be recuperating quite well considering everything. The man in the other vehicle was air lifted but I never could find out how he was doing. Chuck and Pris Myers were in Phoenix on vacation visiting his sister, Cindy and her husband when Pris fell and broke her shoulder. It hasn’t been that long since she broke the other shoulder. Wishing her a speedy recovery. Last Sunday was the Montgomery Reunion held at Richard Montgomery’s with a large crowd in attendance. They always have such fun and
Kelley Discusses Bullying at GHS By James McNary Articles Editor
On Sept. 18, State Representative Mike Kelley of Lamar visited Greenfield High School to discuss the issue of bullying with students, and how to be a buddy to somebody rather than a bully. Kelley said that he was approached by GHS Principal Preston Hyde after he helped arrange an anti-bullying program that was presented at the elementary school last school year. “He [Hyde] asked me if I knew anyone who might have a presentation for high schoolers; the elementary presentation was very much for elementary [students],” said Kelley. “I didn’t have anything for high school or middle school, so I decided I’d just try and do one myself.” Kelley said that his message boiled down to: obviously bullies are bad; you can’t be offended by someone you don’t respect; try to still love them even if you don’t respect them. “He focused on how we should act not only as adolescents, but as adults,” said Hyde. During the 45-minute presentation, Kelley related his personal story, described “the five rules of life,” and how following those rules would keep them from bullying and help them in making good decisions.
Kelley’s five rules of life are: 1. Live each day as if you will die tomorrow; 2. Learn each day as if you will live forever; 3. Listen to people because they matter (listen twice as much as you speak); 4. Love everyone or leave them alone; 5. Laugh or the world will drag you down. “Mr. Kelley’s message had a great testimony about his time through school and the struggle that
he faced,” said Hyde. “He presented many facts and how laws have changed in the state of Missouri and brought real life examples into the message.” Kelley said that, to his surprise, after his presentation a number of students came to visit with him privately. “One of them told me, ‘What you said today gave me hope, gave me faith that there are still people
who care about us,’” said Kelley. “Many times in life, we choose to speak before we think, or take the easy way out. However, what we really need to do is to help each other out and be a buddy,” said Hyde. “The Greenfield School District would like to thank Mr. Kelley for coming and bringing this important message to our junior high and high school students!”

wonderful food to enjoy. I loved seeing the pictures Beth Killingsworth took since I use to see a lot of her family when we were in school together and I spent a lot of time with them. Little Miss Maelie McNeil had her first boo boo last weekend when she fell and busted her head open. They had to have two stitches put in and I think it hurt Mommy, Kylee Shepard, worse than it did Maelie. I want to congratulate GHS 2017 graduate, Jacob Gonzalez, who graduated from cosmetology school last weekend. You watch out; this young man is going to go far. What a tragedy for Dade County with the murder of Devin Hunt, 31, who worked at T & B Welding. His memorial service was September 18 at Cumberland Presbyterian Church. I want to extend sympathy out to all his family and friends. Tracy Lasater and Angela Baker ran in a 6-mile run last weekend at the Top of the Rock in Branson. Way to go, girls!! Shirley “Jones” Wilmoth and Mitzie “Hawks” Zerr and four other gals are in Ireland seeing and enjoying some beautiful scenery and food. I really enjoy seeing their pictures. Last Tuesday, I took Rick Myers to his doctor’s appointment and we
enjoyed breakfast out at the Backwoods. Ran into Mary Ann and Jana Beth Baldwin. Mary Ann will be having knee surgery in December sometime if they don’t get it moved up before then. Tuesday night, Rick and I attended granddaughter’s, Mayce Baker, volleyball game. I am amazed at how well these seventh graders play. We got to visit with David and Tina Yocom who we hadn’t seen in a while. We always keep up with each other when we go to the grandkids’ ballgames. A former Greenfield student, Hannah “Bauer” Moreno, was featured in the Springfield Business Journal with her dress and bridal boutique last week. She was also wrote up in the 417 Bride and the 417 Magazine. You will have to check out her shop just off the Park Central Square. Way to go, Hannah!! I was sorry to hear Betty Vandegrift was in the hospital suffering a stroke. We hope she is back to her old self in no time. Thursday night, Rick and I went to granddaughter’s, Lucy, soccer game. She has really improved since last year and is doing so much better. She has both sets of grandparents and great grandmothers along with her parents to cheer her on.

Left to our own devices, it’s as if we all wear a different pair of glasses that have been shaped by our personal experiences, personality, etc. So how do individuals who are so different work together in unity? By using the compass of scripture. Only God has the ability to fashion a plan that will work for all humanity. His ways are always best. One important part of this plan is taught in Romans 12:2 where God gave the apostle Paul a “don’t” and a “do.” “Do not be conformed to the patterns of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind...” The warning is to guard against letting the world squeeze us into thinking, and seeing life through the lens of the culture rather than scripture. The patterns of this world are very different from those God gives us in His word. That’s what Rick Warren’s Bible study, entitled 50 Days of Transformation (2013), is all about. Through the course of the next seven weeks, we’ll examine the different parts of our lives and compare them to God’s plan in the Bible. Gaining knowledge and developing understanding will help us assess our walk with Christ. All actions begin in the mind, and so does transformation. “As [a man] thinks within himself, so he is” Proverbs 23:7. Thoughts promote feelings that turn into actions. If we want to change our actions, we need to start with our thoughts. We don’t have to look very far to see this in scripture. Paul is a perfect example. He was educated, connected, and respected as a persecutor of Christians until he met the Lord. God closed his
eyes and opened his mind. He literally transformed Paul’s perspective, goals, friends, and life’s work. He went from being an expert in religious terrorism to writing the “Love Chapter,” in 1 Corinthians 13. God changed Paul’s mind which changed his life. Another excellent example is the main character in Jesus’s parable of the Prodigal Son (Luke 15:11-24). He saw his life one way, got his way, and didn’t like what he got. This negative experience changed his perspective and his behavior. Once his thoughts changed so did his life. Just about everyone can relate to this story. Most of us have been, or know someone who’s been, in that role. It’s familiar because it’s so true of our human nature. “All we like sheep have gone astray. Each of us have turned to our own way” (Isaiah 53:6). We’re sheep. We wander off. We sin and our tendency is to avoid it. The longer we avoid it the further we want to run, but why are we running when our Father is waiting to help us make it right? Because we can only see what we think we will see! Thankfully, God sees a much different perspective. Let’s look at the story. This is one selfish son. He wants the inheritance he would normally get when his dad dies, but he’s too impatient to wait. He WANTS and he wants it NOW! It had to hurt, but Dad says okay. Obviously lacking any amount of wisdom, the son takes his money and crushes the boundaries. He wants it – he does it. The money doesn’t last, but this young man hasn’t developed skills an employer would value, so he finds himself doing a job he would never have considered just a short time ago. The pay wasn’t even
enough to meet his most basic needs and he’s hungry. He’s so hungry. This is where his thoughts change his actions. The son gets his fill of being hungry so he humbles up and heads home. He thinks he knows how the scene will unfold. He’s going to apologize so he can live the life of a slave – a vast improvement from where he is, but a serious demotion from where he started. He doesn’t realize that his father has a totally different plan. As soon as the father sees his son, he’s running to welcome him home! The father understands that what matters are not the mistakes that were made, but the life that survived and the lessons that were learned. His son is home! Aren’t we just like that prodigal? We want our way – to live our lives however we want. We see what we want to see, and do what we want to do, but we can’t control the consequences of disobeying God. The pain of suffering is acute. Thankfully, God our Father is watching with arms open wide. All we have to do is repent – turn around and go the other direction. Are you fed up with your life? Tired of doing life alone? Sick of suffering consequences because you couldn’t see far enough ahead to know it wouldn’t end well? Are you hungry for love, acceptance, help, hope…? The Father has a plan. Stop. Reset. Own it. Admit the sin. We can’t hide anything from God; not our thoughts, our feelings, or our actions. He knows it all, and still loves us. Who wouldn’t want to be loved that perfectly? So what’s getting in the way? What’s your idol? What’s more important to you than God? Are you hungry enough to acknowledge
to section 537.021, RSMo.

God as God? Yes, it will mean stepping down from the throne of your life, but none of us are suited to that job anyway. If you need an example of a prayer of repentance, check out David’s prayer in Psalm 51:1-3. Pastor Kurtis calls this the “OxiClean verses of the Bible.” God is the only One who can get us clean. The next step after owning it is to offer ourselves. The prodigal son left home wanting, but he didn’t get what he needed until he came home. Notice the father didn’t wait for him to beg. He ran to the son as soon as he saw him returning. God will meet you where you are. He may let you walk a distance away from Him, but He will never leave you. Love like that transforms the way we see ourselves and others. The natural result of receiving this kind of love is praise and thanksgiving. One of the most beneficial forms of praise is singing. Psalms 68:4 says, “Sing to God, sing praises to his name; lift up a song to him…his name is the Lord!” That’s not a holy suggestion! It’s a command. God’s people are supposed to sing to Him, and not half-heartedly either. The Bible is full of verses that tell us to sing loudly and joyfully! It’s a group exercise, and God participates. “The Lord your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save; he will rejoice over you with gladness; he will quiet you by his love; he will exult over you with loud singing” Zephaniah 3:17. Research shows that singing is good for our health. A psychologist once said that any time someone came to see him for depression his first question was, “Did you sing all of the songs at church last week?” If they said “no”, he would tell them to sing all the songs during the worship service for the next three weeks and

McCaskill in LawCo (Continued from front) McCaskill also explained that a bill being promoted in Congress as protecting coverage for pre-existing conditions is a “wolf in sheep’s clothing.”
“The bill requires that companies have to write you a policy if you have a pre-existing condition, but it doesn’t require them to cover it,” said McCaskill. “This isn’t just election-year posturing, this is the real deal.” McCaskill was asked by the Vedette about what she has done or is doing about rural issues affecting places like Dade and Lawrence counties.
Regarding access to high
speed Internet service, McCaskill said that it has become a necessity in today’s society, much like electricity 70 years ago. She pointed to her efforts to get funding for wireless broadband buildout contracts, and that Missouri was the top recipient of such funding in the latest round “High-speed Internet service is essential to rural Missouri … we really should consider looking at co-ops again, remember? Like we did with electricity years ago,” said McCaskill.
McCaskill also said that she had been able block legislation that would have closed

“That should help smaller banks to be able to better afford staying compliance and not be getting gobbled up by bigger banks,” said McCaskill.
McCaskill said she’d also look into what she could do at the federal level to make re-opening closed branches easier for rural banks, as she was not fully versed on all

the regulatory procedures.
McCaskill also said that the recently enacted tariffs on agricultural commodities have done nothing but hurt farmers.
“There’s not a soybean farmer I’ve talked too that’s going to break even this year, and it’s all because of the tariffs,” said McCaskill. “I can still remember the early 1980s grain embargo, and when we lost half the farms in Missouri afterward. I’m aware of several Republicans that do not support the tariffs, this one of the times you need to stand up for your state and not your party.”
three generations of a large family would include many, tiny fractions of interest. Rose wanted the board to be aware the required legal notice could be cost more than what they may be accustomed.
Enthusiasm – As I work with young people, I am always impressed as I watch them work and play and I see the boundless energy they invest in the things they like to do. This boundless energy may also be called enthusiasm and enthusiasm is an important element in the success of every opportunity we undertake. The word enthusiasm is derived from the Greek word, enthousiasmos, which means to be inspired. Enthusiasm is a powerful tool to create momentum. Enthusiasm can help to combat fear and nervousness and can even create temporary energy and willpower. Being enthusiastic gives us an overall feeling of happiness and well-being that makes whatever we do worthwhile. True enthusiasm comes from doing things that we really care about. If you have a passion for raising beef animals, gardening, or public speaking then you will be enthusiastic about the time and effort that you spend on this activity. You will want to spend time on this activity and you will feel good about the time you invest. Pride in accomplishment is enthusiasm that pushes us to achieve at greater heights and gives us the momentum to meet our
goals. The momentum we feel when we are successful produces a special type of energy. Passion provides the fuel that lights the fire of enthusiasm. In all that we do, it is easier to “give it our best” when we feel good about it and we are enjoying positive results. The thrill of competition and the joy of accomplishment cause us to strive and soar to new and higher heights. Whether you are leading a young animal around a show ring for the first time, creating your own piece of art in the kitchen or the wood shop, or giving a demonstration at a club meeting, the energy and momentum of enthusiasm can give you the strength to overcome nervousness and display the confidence of a winner. You can be a winner. As you choose and begin work on your 4-H projects for this year, find something that you really like or something that you really want to learn. You will find that the desire to learn and grow in your experience will give you the momentum and the energy to achieve and meet your goals. If you find yourself in a project that you are not motivated in, remember that the cure for procrastination is ACTION. With the help of caring adults and project leader your 4-H experience will give you enthusiasm!
