From Lou Ann Sappington Dadeville Schools

The Dadeville PTO hosted the 2018 school carnival on Friday, October 19. The evening was filled with food, games

and a coronation ceremony. The 2018 Elementary Carnival Queen and King were Krista Keys and Brittan Jarman. Krista is the daughter of Heather Yarborough and Doug Keys; Brittan is the son of Bry-

an and Angela Jarman. The High School Carnival Queen and King were Emaley Lutz and Luke Bushey. Emaley is the daughter of Jeffrey and Lisa Kelly; Luke is the son of Matt and Amy Bushey.

The WEMO Conference, a group of schools spanning the west side of Missouri from just south of Kansas City to just north of Joplin, is reportedly considering a split into two divisions, one centered on schools continuing in 11man football, the other on schools with programs in the 8-man game.

WEMO sent letters inviting several area schools into football-only membership in the conference in whichever division they chose. Among those schools were Greenfield and Lockwood. Clay Lasater, superintendent for the Lockwood R-I School District, announced he had received a letter inviting the school to join WEMO, for football only, during the Oct. 24 meeting of the Lockwood Board of Education. Lockwood is currently a member of the Southwest Conference, which blew up the Spring River Valley Conference and gutted the Mid-Lakes Conference in its formation. “I feel we’re pretty com-

fortable with where we are now, so I don’t see any need to take action on this unless you feel we should,” Lasater told the Lockwood board. “But this is something that I suggested we should do last year during those discussions – and I feel like if maybe we’d been able to do something like this our conference wouldn’t have blown up like it did.”

The consensus of the Lockwood board was to take no action. Lasater said he understood that nearby WEMO member Jasper R-V was planning to remain an 11-man program, while current WEMO 11man program Rich Hill R-IV was considering a switch to 8-man.

Greenfield R-IV Superintendent Chris Kell, Ed.D., said that his district had received an invitation to join the WEMO conference for football only, but no action has been taken. Kell said that he felt the community might have some concerns that the district would only be joining for football and nothing else, though the conference has asked to meet with district representatives sometime later this year. ‘WEMO Conference’ Continued on page 1B

Dade County Health Department Annual Breast Cancer Dinner

Local, State, Federal Offices At Stake in November Elections By James McNary Articles Editor

Many of the local races in Dade and surrounding counties were decided in the August Republican Party primaries, however, a few local races as well as those for statewide office, some with national implications, are on the upcoming November ballot. In the race for United States Senator, incumbent Claire McCaskill, Democrat, is facing a challenge from Missouri Attorney General Josh Hawley, Republican.

McCaskill, running for a third, six-year term, is facing criticism for her record over the last 12 years in office, with Republicans disputing her claims that she is a moderate willing to fight her own party to do what’s

best for Missouri.

Hawley, a trained constitutional attorney, is running against McCaskill despite a pledge to serve his full term as attorney general and not to use it as a stepping stone to higher office; he has served less than two years of his term, and has received criticism over his operation of the office. Also running are candidates from the Green and Libertarian parties, as well as an independent candidate.

In the race for the District 4 U.S. Representative seat (including Dade, Barton, and Cedar counties), incumbent Vicky Hartzler is virtually assured of re-election, having received nearly 70 percent of the vote in the last two elections. She is facing competition from Democrat Renee Hoagenson and

a Libertarian challenger.

In the race for the District 7 U.S. Representative seat (including Jasper, Lawrence and Greene counties), incumbent Billy Long is also virtually assured of re-election, having received over 63 percent of the vote each time he has been elected. He is being challenged by Democrat Jamie Daniel Schoolcraft and a Libertarian candidate.

In the race for Missouri State Auditor, incumbent Nicole Galloway, a Democrat, is running for election to the post, having been appointed by Gov. Jay Nixon following the untimely death of previous Auditor Tom Schweich. Galloway, the only Democrat currently holding a Missouri ‘November Election’ Continued on page 8A

From Pamela Allen Dade Co. Health Dept.

The Dade County Health Department held their annual Breast Cancer Dinner to honor survivors and their caregivers on Tuesday, October 16th at 6 p.m. in the Christian Church Fellowship Hall. Prayer for the meal was offered by Deanna McLemore, a board member of the Health Department.

The evening began with dinner, a choice of chicken or ham salad sandwiches on croissant, choice of two sal-

ads, chips and assorted parfaits for dessert. The meal was served to approximately 40 women and was provided by the employees and board members of the Dade County Health Department. They enjoyed the fellowship during the meal and then Becky Coose, organizer of the Breast Cancer Dinner, started a game. The game was called “Getting Acquainted.” ‘Health Dept.

Electronic Breach Announcement From the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services From Megan Hopkins Missouri DHSS

On October 24, 2018, the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services mailed over 10,400 letters to individuals informing them that the department recently discovered a breach of security of their personal information. The breach occurred because, sometime before September 30, 2016, an information technology contractor for the state of Missouri, who had worked on a department information system, improperly retained the information. The past contractor then allowed the information to be stored in an electronic file that was not password-protected. The type of personal information found in the electronic file includes names, dates of birth, identification numbers issued by some state agencies and a very limited number of social security numbers. The types and amount of personal information retained by the contractor varied by person. Each person did not necessarily have all types of personal information listed previously retained by the contractor. When the state of Missouri learned of this situation on August 30, 2018, it took immediate steps

to secure the information. Since that time, the department has been diligently analyzing the data contained in the electronic file to determine the scope of the breach and to determine contact information for affected individuals. At the present time, the department has no reason to believe that the information was actually viewed or used by anyone intending harm. The department has referred this matter to the appropriate legal authority to investigate and determine appropriate legal action. The department is recommending that individuals remain vigilant by reviewing account statements and monitoring free credit reports for unusual activity. Contact information for consumer credit reporting agencies is below. You may wish to contact these agencies to place a free fraud alert on your credit or to request a free credit freeze.

Regarding this matter, Department Director Dr. Randall Williams, said: “We have concerns that prior to September 30, 2016, a past contracted vendor may have acted illegally by retaining some names, dates of birth, identification numbers issued by some State agencies and a very limited number of social security numbers. The State learned of this incident on the Thursday before Labor Day. We immediately worked with other State agencies over the Labor Day holiday to prevent any dissemination of this data now or in the future. Present leadership takes very seriously our requirement to protect information, and we have referred our findings to the appropriate law enforcement authority.” Individuals who received a letter from the department and have additional questions may call the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services at 1-888-252-8045, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. - 5 p.m.

Pre-registration for the free class is required. The class size is limited. Call 417-751-3826 to register or for more information. As the No. 1 cause of injuries and death from injury, falls threaten the independence of older adults and often prove costly, as well. “Participants will learn to do

simple exercises to increase strength and balance; additionally, they will learn how to change their environment to reduce fall risks,” said Renette Wardlow, field specialist in human development, University of Missouri Extension. A “Matter of Balance” helps adults 60 years old and up realize that falls - and the fear of falling - are controllable. The program provides information on ways to change your environment to limit risk factors that contribute to falling and will help participants find strength and balance exercises to reduce your chances of falling. The program is designed for adults who can move about, and problem solve.

“Up to 50 percent of Americans over the age of 65 who live independently experience a fear of falling. When older adults limit their activity due to this fear, it can reduce their mobility and independence, affecting the quality of life and increase the risk of falls,” said Wardlow. In this program’s seven classes, participants will work with an instructor and other older adults to learn about fall prevention strategies, develop and follow a personal fall prevention plan, learn exercises to improve their balance and increase their activity levels and make or support changes in their daily lives that can reduce their fear of falling.

Statewide Winter Weather Drill Nov. 7 The Missouri Department of Transportation will test its readiness to plow snow for the upcoming winter season with a statewide drill on Wednesday, Nov. 7. Motorists may notice increased numbers of MoDOT vehicles on state routes during the drill. In rural areas, crews will deploy after 8 a.m. In urban areas, the drill will not begin until after 9 a.m. The exercise should be completed by 3 p.m. “The annual drill helps to make sure we all know our roles during a winter storm so we can do our jobs successfully,” said State Maintenance Engineer Becky Allmeroth. “More than 3,500 MoDOT employees are involved in ensuring we clear roads and bridges as quickly as possible when winter weather hits.” During the drill, MoDOT employees will react to a simulated forecast of significant snow for the entire state. The department’s emergency operations centers will activate and maintenance employees will be deployed to their trucks. Emergency communications systems will also be tested. The drill serves as a training reminder to make sure proper equipment, plowing techniques and safety measures are used. In addition, every piece of equipment – every truck, motor grader, snow blower, and tractor – is inspected. “Careful planning and preparation mean our crews can mobilize when needed, and our equipment will be ready,” said Allmeroth. Allmeroth said one of the most valuable parts of the drill is that it allows MoDOT’s newest employees

the opportunity to drive a snowplow over their designated routes so they are aware of obstacles and obstructions, such as curbs and raised islands, that might be hidden in snow or ice. MoDOT spends about $43 million each year to keep roads clear in the winter and help ensure motorists get to their destinations

safely and quickly. In an average winter, MoDOT employees plow about 6 million miles of snow and ice, which is enough to go to the moon and back 13 times. For information on road conditions across the state, safe traveling tips, and other winter weather information, visit www.modot.org.

Wreck-O-Mended There for When It Wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Just Buff Out by James McNary Articles Editor

A fixture in the Greenfield automotive market now for five years, the Wreck-O-Mended auto body shop was started by Greenfield native Casey Boyd in July 2013.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s known as the best auto body shop south of Arcola,â&#x20AC;? said Bob Bennett, a regular at the shop. Boyd had worked for Rick Harding at his body shop for 16 years, so when Harding retired, he decided to strike out on his own, and Wreck-O-Mended was born.

Today, the shop has four fulltime employees and two parttime employees, and has room to handle about 10 cars easily (though Boyd said thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s usually about 20 in the shop at any given time). The shop specializes in collision repair, and also offers towing and glass replacement services.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We try to utilize OEM standards on all repairs, and do continuing education to keep on new technology,â&#x20AC;? said Boyd. Boyd also said that they do their best to work well with all the major insurance companies.

The shop uses PPG Deltron 2000 paints, and also has all the proper tools to repair vehicles built with aluminum frames. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll even work on over-the-road tractors and heavy equipment on a caseby-case basis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done just about everything, including patching hip-waders and canoes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; though we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like to make a habit of it,â&#x20AC;? said Boyd with a chuckle.

Boyd said that hail season and deer season keep the shop pretty busy, and that snow and ice season keep the tow service busy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re pretty busy right now, but always available for anyone who needs us,â&#x20AC;? said Boyd.

LIBERTY BAPTIST CHURCH Liberty Baptist Church was organized in 1844. It was the first Missionary Baptist Church in Dade County. It was known as Grassy Hollow Church until 1865. The present day church is still serving the Lord on O Hwy north of Everton, Missouri. My name is Ken Abbott. I am the current pastor and have been here for about a year and a half. I am proud to be serving the Lord with the great people here at Liberty Baptist. I have discovered an interesting fact in the church records that my Great Grandfather, Walter Abbott, served as pastor at Liberty from 1956 to 1958. That is just one of the many things that makes this church special to me. Our mission at Liberty is to reach the lost and to preach and teach the gospel through the word and music. If you would like to know more about our church please give me a call at 417-818-5946. Thanks,

God Bless

COMMENTARY

The month of October is Breast Cancer awareness month. Not a day goes by that I don’t think of my special friend, Maggie Jones, who has been gone for four years this month due to breast cancer. I am proud of my son, Jacob, who is man enough to wear a pink hard hat at work to show support. She is gone but never forgotten. We have all dreamed of that trip of a lifetime. Well, there are six plus students from Everton along with two adults/teachers that will be getting that chance with our help. They will be going on an educational trip to Puerto Rico in June 2019. It will cost each student $2,500. So mark your calendar for November 16 (deer season) from 5-8 p.m. in the school cafeteria for this benefit to help them out. We all have to eat so let us enjoy this food plus be helping someone out. They will be serving chili, chicken noodle soup, Frito pie, chili dog and dessert. The price is any two plus drink and dessert for $8 or one choice with drink and dessert for $6. Come out and support these students. Remember we are educating them as they are our future. Of course, any donations would be appreciated. They would appreciate any donations of pies, hamburger meat, chicken. Anything to help defer some of the cost. For more information, you can contact Jolene Hays at the school 417-5352221. May your neighbors respect you, Trouble neglect you, The angels protect you and heaven accept you. Old Irish Blessing. Wishing Leon White, our very own Super Man, a speedy recovery. He had to spend a couple days in the hospital. Needless to say, this has thrown him behind some and I am holding my honey-do list for him, but will give him some time to recover. He is a wanted man in many ways. What would we do without him. Continue with your prayers for Tom Walters, Tassy White, Earl Killingsworth and all the others that are battling health issues. Of course, I always have my son, Dustin Jones and my mother, Betty Vandegrift, in those prayers. Deepest sympathy to all the families that have lost loved one. We just hate to let them go even if we know they are in a better place. Our prayers are with you.

I was told by Linda Eggerman that Retha Jones isn’t up to writing the Lockwood News any longer. I sure hated to hear that. I’ve always enjoyed her article. Join me in praying for her. Linda recommended that I do it, so here it is. I know I will not be as entertaining as Retha has been for many years, but I can sure try. Please inbox me on Facebook if there is any news or information you want included.

Walmart buying a large bag of Purina dog food for my loyal dog, Owen, when the lady behind me asked if I had a dog. What did she think I had an elephant? I told her no. I was starting the Purina diet but probably shouldn’t because last time I tried it I ended up in the hospital. I told her it was a perfect diet. You put nuggets in your pockets, eat as needed. Others in line listened closely. Horrified she asked me if I ended up in intensive care because of the dog food. I told her no. I had stopped to pee on a fire hydrant and a car hit me. Well, the guy behind her was laughing so hard I thought he may have had a heart attack. Walmart won’t let me shop there anymore. Better watch what you ask retired folk. They have all the time in the world to think of crazy things to say! Vote this Tuesday, November 6, 2018.

Lockwood News by Shonna Shorter-Kramer

My Turn by Bob Jackson

TRUE WORDS A hospital gown is like insurance. You ain’t got near the coverage you think you get. The scariest haunted house you will witness this Halloween is visiting your brother’s house while they watch the news on CNN. Despite all the bad days, mean people still believe in good days and kind people. Plus there is always my dog. HOW TO START A FIGHT Man and woman are sitting in their recliner. Man is watching TV. Woman is reading a book. She asks what is on the TV. He replies, “Dust!” TV ADVICE A TV preacher said to find true inner peace, you need to finish what you start. So, for today, I have finished two beers, chips and a bowl of ice cream. Feel good today! RETIREE STORY Yesterday I was at

First quarter ended at Lockwood Schools and for Immanuel Lutheran School (ILS). Parent/Teacher conferences came and went.

The students picked up pecans falling from the trees today at recess. I guess we will go from 90 degrees to 40 degrees here. I noticed the leaves changing quickly. We are celebrating Red Ribbon Week this week and saying no to drugs and bullying. Mike Kelley will be coming to speak to ILS. The farmers are cutting beans and the fresh smell of the turkey liter is in the air. Deer hunting season has begun and the excitement that comes with children hunting. I enjoy seeing all the pictures on facebook of the kids with their

deer’s. Becky Backs, Lockwood class of 1966, passed away on Monday. I sure was sorry to hear it. Becky owned Denim ‘N Lace in Lamar for years. For years, I bought my children’s clothes and shoes there. Becky told me stories about LHS and my Mom and Dad when they were dating. She also gave me lots of advice that I listened to. She was one of those people who I could talk to for hours. I will miss her. There’s been two big weddings this month Landon and Erin Eggerman and Dusty and Lillian Harr. Many blessings to you all. These kids have all grown up; they should still be little. The Lutheran Church is having a Trunk or Treat Wed. Oct. 31 at 6 p.m. Lockwood Baptist Church will be having a Harvest Festival from 6:30-8 p.m. There are lots of things to do all over town. Be safe! My grandchildren are super excited about Halloween. They are looking forward to visiting the Good Shepherd Nursing Home from 6-7 p.m. Halloween night. When we were little, LaRue Lemons was our favorite place to go,

Benefit for Tassy White will be held November 11 at the Walnut Grove School lunch room during the noon hour. They will be serving taco salad and all proceeds will go to help offset the medical bills. Tassy has been in and out of the hospital for several months, so you know what that bill is. Everything will help them as they still have a couple children in school and one in college. Keep her in your thoughts and prayers. Our mother, Betty Vandegrift, continues to improve every day. We hope to have her back in her home by the middle of November. We will be bringing her home for Halloween evening as it is our traditional soup supper before treating all the children and mom enjoys doing that. So, we will continue that tradition. Got the news that Jacob Jones had to stay in Florida a few more days. If all goes well, he will be home on Wednesday the 24th. Abby and Paisley are really missing him. Paisley has enjoyed spending lots of time at MiMi’s and PaPa’s house. She calls the basement the movie theater. I told Jacob she will be wanting him to come to our house for the movies. The Everton Carnival was held on Friday night. This is always the biggest project the PTSO puts on each year. They have had a carnival for years and they have always been a big hit. A lot of work, but worth it. I was thinking the other day, it has been many years ago, but Margaret “Tutty” Wilson and Charla Montgomery turned the basement into a haunted house and there were hay rides and all kinds of activities outside as well as the carnival stuff inside. That was one of the biggest I ever remember. Up Saturday morning and stopped by mom’s to check on her. Then to Carol’s to check on her. Picked Dustin and Wade Jones up and headed to Lamar for Chloe’s volleyball tournament. They lost so they are done. Chloe decided to come home with me to spend the night. Dustin, Melinda and Wade then headed to El Dorado Springs for Wade’s last football game. You wouldn’t know that Halloween was here or even Thanksgiving as all the stores have had Christ-

mas out for so long. That just really bothers me that Thanksgiving is covered up by Christmas. After I got home on Saturday, I went outside and took care of my flowers, etc., and got stuff ready and put up for the winter. Chloe and Paisley enjoyed playing some games and after Paisley went to bed, then I got to play Old Maid cards with Chloe. Talked to my brother, Doug Vandegrift, and he has been watching his grandchildren as their mother, Amber, had to have some knee surgery. After getting in, they decided there more damage than they thought so she will be having another knee surgery in the future. Addy and Jaxson are very calm, but Jace makes up for it. He is full of it and keep them on their toes. Talked to my other brother, Darren Vandegrift, on Friday night and he was working all weekend on their other house they had purchased four years ago for their son to live in while going to college. It is sold, but they had to do some minor things to it before signing the papers. He was planning on coming in, but this had to be done as they are wanting to sign papers the week of the 22nd. On Sunday afternoon, my sister, Linda and Don Coble, went and visited with mom at the RCF. Liberty Baptist Church held the church services, so mom got to visit with several of them and really enjoyed it. On Sunday morning, I was up early and out the door and at work by 5:45 a.m. So far behind and I can get so much done when no one else is there. Kim and Abby got up wondering where I was at until they remembered I was going to work. Dustin came and got Chloe after breakfast and Abby and Paisley went back to their house. Kim has peace and quiet all day. Really like days like today Monday. Sunny and 65. Wishing I was home doing some work outside and loving the weather. On Tuesday night, I had a good phone visit with Chuck Myers. His wife, Priscilla, had to have another shoulder replacement and while in there found out she had a rotator cuff tear that they went ahead and repaired. Good to get it all over with. After recov-

ery, she will feel like a new woman. Chuck has been a really good nurse as she has been unable to use that arm for several weeks. No excuse after she gets better that he can still cook and clean. She is looking forward to going back to work. Well, Jacob Jones made it home from Florida after two weeks and let me tell you Paisley will not let him out of her sight. She is like velcro to his leg. He went out to the garage and she almost had a melt down thinking her daddy was going to leave again. I took off Wednesday and did some things at my house and went to work at mom’s house. Since we had it sprayed, we were cleaning everything. We will be doing all the dishes on Saturday. Cleaned out her shed and put in a shelf. Trying to make everything easier for mom to get around in and out. No chances of any falls. If all goes well, I plan to bring her home on Monday and each of her children are taking turns staying with her for two weeks to get her adjusted to being back in her own home and see where she needs help if any. Times in our lives that we are having to step up to take care of mom as she has taken care of us for many, many years. I know her knees are worn out for always praying for her children, grandchildren and greats. She has done an awesome job. Now it is time for us to take care of her needs. I enjoyed watching the Today Show on Wednesday where the Bush twins were interviewed and they talked about their grandmother. How she may have been a president’s wife and the mother of a president, she still had so much love and compassion for all the people that were struggling. They were very tearful and hoped they could have and show as much compassion to others as their grandmother did. They want to carry on that compassion in honor of their grandmother. A very special thank you to my special friend, Suzanne Steeley, who came and helped me clean at mom’s house on Wednesday after she got off work. Came in the door with her cleaning supplies and said “What can I do?” I am SO lucky and SO grateful to have a friend like her. We were friends in high school and ended up being

she had small toys and Elma Vargas had big candy bars. As teens it was a Greenfield vs. Lockwood night. We sure had lots of harmless fun. Our rules from officer Butch Miller was don’t get hurt and clean up your messes. As we end October, Lockwood Football travels to Adrian Friday night. Go big red! I have enjoyed watching the school spirit this year at both football and volleyball games. Our Lady Tigers volleyball team did so good! That old Lockwood student body Tiger pride is back and in full force. We are blessed to have such good students. Dakota Bayless seems to be the ring leader of the new yuuuup yuuuup cheer. I really get a kick out of it. Hoping my youngest son, Jamie Kramer, will be back in the game this week. He injured his gluteus minimus muscle above his hip in the Greenfield game. He has been doing physical therapy in Springfield with Dr. Chris Shorter. By the way, what a game the Dade Co game was. Nice job to both teams. Best game I’ve seen in a while. Even though we are bitter rivals, I always enjoy seeing many friends and their kids during these

games. It’s so weird that we are all grown up with kids and grandkids. The Lockwood Tiger traditions are still going, from traditional Lockwood Tiger Dirt cake at varsity dinners to District haircuts, when the seniors cut the freshmen hair. We always have some great barbers. I saw the pictures on Facebook and remembered all my boys getting those terrible cuts! They have to wear them until football season is over. People just stare and giggle. It’s so much fun!!! I also wanted to give a shout out to our band for all their hard work!

neighbors and raising our children together. School, activities, church. They say that most people don’t ever have a lifetime best friend. You have several friends throughout your life. I am one of the very lucky ones to have a lifelong bestest friend, whom I can call on any time and she will be there as quick as she can. Thank you to the Everton Class of 68 and the all-school reunion who donated $200 to the Everton Library last week. Ms. Drawbond will put that money to good use and stretch it farther than anyone else could possibly do and our students will benefit from it over and over again. My sister, Linda Vandegrift Coble and her longtime friend, Glenda Mallory Blakemore, both of Walnut Grove, Missouri, presented the check to Ms. Drawbond. After the ladies enjoyed lunch there, they went on to visit with Linda’s mother, Betty Vandegrift. I understand that Marilyn Gilmore was really busy baking for a lot of mothers for their donations to the Everton Carnival. I forget she baked like 60-80 doz-

en of cookies and I am sure there were several pies thrown in there. For those that won those platters of cookies, they say “Thank you”. A big thank you to Chuck Myers for making a mad dash over to my mother’s house on Wednesday night and locking her house up. I got side tracked and didn’t do it. Tried to call a couple people to do it and no luck. Then the light bulb came on and Chuck was for savior for the evening. Thank you. What do you do without friends and family? The Everton Carnival was a great successful event. Thanks to all that had a hand in pulling this together. This is almost a year-long planning. By the first of the year, they will be planning the next one. Back to work on Thursday to get some work done. Then off again on Friday for Kelbey and I to have some much needed FUN. Wishing everyone a blessed week and I do hope everyone had a safe and fun Halloween.

Lockwood Chamber of Commerce is holding their annual Merchant’s Sale and Christmas Tree Lighting, November 17, 2018. There will be shopping, entertainment, food, and free drawings. Come to our SMALL TOWN and join the fun.

I hated to see the act of hate at the Jewish temple and the terror by mail this week. It truly doesn’t matter what political party we belong to, this hate effects all Americans. I am praying for our country as we enter November and get ready to vote in November. God Bless You & Yours!

Gone but never forgotten. Update on sis – Tassy White. She has been feeling much better and has her appetite back, just has to eat certain foods. Goes back and forth to the hospital for her blood cleansing 3-4 times a week. Hopefully she will continue doing

good. I know she is awfully homesick. Congratulations to Houston and& Bailey Deckard of Walnut Grove on the arrival of a son, Bryson Allen. He arrived about three weeks early but tipped the scales at 6 lbs., 13 oz. at 1:46 a.m. on October 24, 2018. He will be welcomed home by big sister, Sienna, who is 2. Congratulations to Paul Weis’s son, Brandon, who wed Becka on October 20, 2018. Jolene Daniel and her sister just got back from a trip to Idaho to visit Brian Lowry and family. They got to see the grandkids play soccer and watch the sheep come down out of the mountains right down main street. Harvey Campbell finally got to meet his twin, a guy from ZZ Top, and have his picture taken with him. They both sport those long white beards. He can now mark that off his bucket list. Howard & Carolyn Wilkinson and two of their daughters, Karla and Karen, along with grandson, Kyle and wife, Meghan and another friend, Frankie, just got back from a wonderful trip to Hawaii. They had a full week of sightseeing and lots of walking. Had a great time and the weather was wonderful. Ali Walters had her family bachelorette party on October 19 with a painting class at RSVP Paint. Everyone had a great time and they all have new signs to hang. I heard my coach, Tony Phillips, who taught in Greenfield back in the day suffered a heart attack and had gall bladder surgery

Puerto Rico by Frank Berry Puerto Rico? Has anyone heard of Puerto Rico? It seems America’s God-resisting and loudly shouting Democrats have! They shout loudly that President Donald J. Trump was derelict in duties regarding Hurricane Maria and regarding the state of affairs in Puerto Rico after Maria soundly threshed that island. They say America’s 45th President did little to nothing to aid Puerto Rico, or even to sustain and rebuild it.

Which cuckoo bird trees do these Democrats live in? How many partner squirrels are living up there with them cracking their little nuts and rattling their little acorns around all the time? “Democrats don’t know squat,” my father often said many years ago. It’s true today. Democrats don’t even know “Rome was not built in one day?” I learned this adage in school as a tenyear-old child. But Democrats have yet to learn it! It seems they only want to

three weeks ago. Wishing him a speedy recovery. Khristen Limpus and daughter, Taylor, had a wonderful weekend at the Buffalo River in Arkansas, riding their horses and looking at the beautiful fall colors. Last weekend, Mallory Heiskell’s girlfriends held a baby shower for her upcoming twin boys and she received many wonderful gifts. Last Monday, Aunt Carol Jones and I attended the funeral service for Katie McMasters Cochran at Dadeville. Was so happy to run into Peggy Love Wilson and Jennifer Hickey McGaugh who was a year older than me in school. I hadn’t seen Peggy since she graduated. Rita Needham sang and then Katie’s grandson got up and sang “Can You Imagine”. There wasn’t a dry eye in the house. It was a very lovely service and I want to extend sympathy to all the family. It was good to see Cheryl who’s a classmate of mine but not under such sad circumstances. Monday evening, a bunch of the railroaders went to a visitation of their own in Pleasanton, Kansas. A former work buddy of theirs, Ira Clayton Mundell, 78, passed away after a long fight with cancer. Those who showed his widow how much Ira meant to them were: Bob Wilkins, Ed Beck, Rick Baker, John Webb, Hal Choate, John Hunt, Russell Graves, Harry Stubbs, Rex Hall and Eddie Pitts. Donald Gillen was missed due to another obligation. Jenny Brown’s daughter, Kelsey, had to have surgery last Tuesday. She was having a fundoplication surgery. This is where they

“cuss and bicker and snicker and beller in loud snorts like little bulls” hoping to bring down the whole great parade and large crowd of Republicans! “How about Hurricane Maria and Puerto Rico? Mr. Trump? Please tell us now! If you can!” Puerto Rico will be rebuilt - certainly it will - but not quickly. Not in one week. Not in five years. Maybe not in 10. For instance, how many years did it take Puerto Rico to get to the

work on the valve between the esophagus and stomach to help stop acid and stuff from backing back up. She had a rough couple of days but was feeling much better by Friday. Hoping this helps her out a lot. Congratulations to the Ogden Cattle Co. Team who took first place at the Lamar Ranch Rodeo last weekend. Those showing off their new belt buckles are: Trevon Ogden, Zac Daniel, Kent Jones and Brian White. Was sorry to hear Dr. Jacob “Jake” McGuire, 44, passed away October 17, 2018. He was a 1992 Walnut Grove graduate and in my step-son’s, James Baker, class. Graveside services were October 23 at Hickory Grove Cemetery at Arcola, Missouri. Well, all the area FFA members are in Indianapolis, Indiana, enjoying the National Convention. The highlight of the trip was getting to go see Garth Brooks perform. I hated to hear Cheryl (Huchteman) Polodna’s cancer is now in her thoracic spine. She will start chemo and radiation next week. Keep Cheryl and her family in your prayers. Rick and I went to Kansas City Wednesday and met our friends from the cancer center for a night out on the town. We had a great time together and enjoyed some good food. This is a trip we plan for every year to see Bob and Lona who helped us out a lot in Tulsa when we first started going there six years ago. KC is midpoint for us both so that’s where we always meet. Hope everyone has a wonderful week and enjoy these fall colors while they last.

point of let’s say: “Maria day?” Was it 10 years, was it 20 years, was it 100 years? Probably it was one of the greater numbers. Yet Democrats don’t comprehend, neither do they understand that what men build in 100 years can be ripped away in mere hours by hurricanes. Men tiptoe then. To rebuild. And, yes, it is a slow and halting process. Years of it. It’s been 18 years since Katrina hit New Orleans. New Orleans hasn’t recovered. I have heard stories that

Show-Me-Select Bred Heifer Sale Nov. 16 From MU Extension

Does this scenario fit you? The dry summer forced you to sell cows. Then the rains of August and September sparked unbelievable growth of fescue and crabgrass, and now you need to buy a few replacements. If that is the case, consider looking for those replacements at the Show-Me-Select bred heifer sale at starting at 7 p.m., Nov. 16 at the Joplin Regional Stockyards, Carthage. The sale offering will consist of 330 heifers due to calve from late January to late April. The heifers will come from 16 different producers who have worked with their veterinarians and Univesity of Missouri Extension livestock specialists since late winter and early spring. The heifers have been reproductive tract scored, pelvic measured, ultrasound preg tested and been screened for any blemish such as pinkeye scars, fro-

zen ears and mobility problems. “Heifers are given a final screening the day before the sale and temperamental heifers will be sent home,” said Eldon Cole, livestock field specialist with University of Missouri Extension. All heifers come from fescue country and some have been on Bermuda. Fifty-seven percent are homeraised. Forty-three percent of the offering are red and red white-faced while the balance are black or black baldies. Buyers are increasingly

asking for heifers that have been DNA or genomic tested. This sale will have 124 heifers that have had their acceptable breed genomic evaluation done. This makes them eligible for the Show-Me-Plus designation. Service sires have met strict requirements for calving ease direct (CED) expected progeny difference (EPD). Some heifers qualify for Tier Two ear tags. This is because their sire met certain accuracy minimums for calving ease direct, calving ease maternal, weaning weight, carcass weight and marbling.

All heifers have been vaccinated for Brucellosis and have been found negative for PI BVD. Heifers were examined safe in-calf within 30 days of the sale and are guaranteed bred at the sale. If a heifer is proven by a veterinarian within 30 days after the sale to be open or lost the pregnancy the consignor will replace the heifer or make a financial settlement with the buyer. The Show-Me-Select program recently celebrated it’s 20th anniversary. From the beginning the objectives include adding vlaue ot heifers through breeding and management. In addition, it provides smaller herds an opportunity to have a reliable source of replacement heifers if they choose not to raise their own. Catalogs are now available from your Extension livestock specialist or go on-line to www.swmobcia. com. The sale may be accessed at LiveAuctions.tv with bidding arranged in advance.

Something to Think About by Jim Johnson And the nastiness escalates. We actually have folks who openly advocate actions that are contrary to the very Constitution they vowed to support. It seems that they do not like the Constitution’s approach to the power they covet. (“Covet” was carved in stone.) Why do you think they desire the power? Why do they know better than you? Don’t they think the people should have a say in who has the power? What ever happened to Lincoln’s “…of the people, by the people, for the people…?” One of the real fears our founders had was the “tyranny of the majority.” Do you really think that just because, in a Republic no less, somebody has the majority or even plurality of the votes that they can dictate policies as is done in a pure democracy? “We the people…” is everybody. It even includes the folks that do not bother to participate in their very own government. (Yeah, they don’t vote.) Do you really think that just because somebody wins a popular vote, the people in small states cannot have a say in the outcome of an election? We are a federal republic with a certain amount of sovereignty reserved for the individual states and the people. Granted with the passing of the 17th Amendment, power was effectively stripped from the states (look it up) and passed to the individual national po-

search parties have been sent out to find former President Bush 43 and belittle him once again as they did so terribly in 2005! Yes! The Media will incite! Cleverly so. It’s a harsh sister for the slapping of our Presidents! Even the older and former ones! Yes! It’s a troll, the Media, and it hides under bridges waiting to gouge any and all Republicans it can! “Stop growling danged Republican! Stop that sobbing!” We cannot snap fingers and rebuild nations! We

litical parties. (Ponder that!) The whole concept of the Electoral College is to keep the various states in the “power game” and prevent the “tyranny of the majority.” Consider this: if majority ruled, California and New York would rule this country. At least to me, that is neither a pleasant nor productive thought. In the U.S.A., we elect presidents as well as school boards and road commissioners, et al., to represent we the people. In the U.S.A., with the powers so dispersed, it takes time and much deliberation to arrive at national policy. That is the idea. Now a bunch of folks jumping up and down in the streets when the cameras are present just does not cut it. Indeed, before the age of instant communication, these activities were totally local in nature and not suited to the national views. Once the mobs revolt against the current perceived structure, another power structure takes over. History shows us the new power is usually some sort of tyranny or dictatorship. (See the histories of Cuba, Venezuela, Russia, and China.) I do realize that the aforementioned had kings, tsars or emperors before the revolutions and after the people’s revolt they still had tyrants at the top. Dictatorship of the proletariat is still a dictator at the top. There is a lot at stake these days, so get to thinking. cannot! Neither can Trump. Moreover, we must consider logistics! Yes! It’s always logistics! Logistics! Logistics! We cannot hold back Mother Nature. Therefore, we must leave our Presidents be! We must leave them alone! As we should! Alone is much preferred, while not forgetting to keep a cadre of “12 good and excellent men (of the President’s choice!)” surrounding any and all Presidents to help them untangle, uncover and edit any and all executive decisions and orders they may wish to consider enacting.

Health Dept. Dinner (Continued from front) Becky Coose and Rochelle Renkoski had the women form groups wherever they were sitting and were given a form with questions to answer about themselves. Papers were collected and the groups of women had to guess whom Becky was talking about by what was read on the paper. Lots of laughs and fun proceeded. Most of all, everyone learned something about everyone else that attended. Becky then proceeded to talk about the teapots on the tables that were a part of the evening’s theme. The teapots reminded her of her grandmother and so that is where the stories came from. Prizewinners at the end of the evening were Deanna McLemore, who won the crocheted afghan made by Jamie Abbiatti; Kathy Davidson won a large insulated bag; Anita Bridges won a make-up bag with manicure set; and Pat Summerfield won a tote bag, water bottle and Breast Cancer Awareness socks. Each woman present received a mammogram cookie as a favor to take home with her.

Above left, the table setting included an array of teapots which reminded one organizer of her grandmother. Above, staff and board members serve lunch to their guests. Left, an assortment of sandwiches, cupcakes and pink punch are ready for dinner. (Submitted Photos)

The staff and board members at the Dade County Health Department appreciate the women who came, shared support of this program, and support each other. We look forward to next year and another great time together!

November Election (Continued from front)

state-wide office, has ruffled some feathers in carrying out the duties of her office, including the Greene County Sheriff’s Office and disgraced ex-Gov. Eric Greitens. Galloway is being challenged by Republican Saundra McDowell as well as candidates from the Libertarian, Green, and Constitution parties. McDowell’s eligibility for the office has been called into question, as the Oklahoma native does not appear to have met the 10-year residency requirement prescribed by the state constitution (she claims to have established “intent” to move to Missouri in 2008, but she and her husband did not physically move to state until 2010). There is also some dispute as to her applicable experience while working in the attorney general’s office. In the race for the District 32 State Senator seat (Jasper, Newton and Dade counties), Republican Bill White and Democrat Carolyn McGowan, as well as a Green party candidate, are squaring off for the seat being vacated by Joplin Republican Ron Richard. White, of Joplin, said that he served in the U.S. Marine Corps and has lived in the Joplin area for 25 years. He and his wife, Ellen, have have four children. White said that he has served as a juvenile attorney and previously served as a state representative for the Joplin area. “I am running for State Senate because I believe

there is too much waste, fraud, and abuse in state government,” said White. “We need a State Senator who will advocate for less corporate welfare, not more. Lower taxes for all Missouri citizens and businesses is how we should grow our economy. I support President Trump’s plan to secure and defend our border and I will ensure that illegal aliens are not receiving government handouts or benefits intended to help our elderly and disabled citizens in need. I believe in service before self, and will always uphold and defend our constitutional rights as Americans.” McGowan, of Webb City, has lived in the area since 1969, when she began teaching in the Joplin public school system. She also taught in the Carl Junction and Webb City school systems, as well as serving as an adjunct professor at then-Missouri Southern State College. She has also been the owner of a performing arts preschool, and an active volunteer with Joplin Little Theatre and various other area not-forprofit groups. McGowan previously served on the city council in Webb City and as acting mayor in 1984-85. Having worked on both Obama presidential campaigns, she also served as a state delegate for Bernie Sanders at the 2016 Democratic National Convention. “My three major platforms are: 1. Education, 2. Healthcare, and 3. Equali-

ty,” said McGowan. “I am for universal healthcare.. … I have marched for civil rights, women’s rights and most recently gay rights. I have also marched against all wars fought for profit. I am pro-union and for sensible gun legislation. I am also a strong environmentalist.” In the contest for District 127 State Representative (Dade, Barton, and portions Cedar and Jasper counties), Republican Ann Kelley is challenging Democrat Teri Hanna, for the seat currently occupied by Mike Kelley, who is stepping down due to term limits.

Kelley, of Lamar, is a native of Liberal, Mo., and currently serves as a teacher in the Lamar school system. She and Mike Kelley have been married for 20 years and have a 17-year-old son, Brenden, a senior at Lamar High School. “Voters of District 127 should vote for me because I have a serving heart and I care,” said Kelley. “Our district deserves to have a trusted representative who will listen, help, serve and stand-up for the values of southwest Missouri. I am the only candidate that has been endorsed by Missouri Right To Life, Missouri Cattlevmen’s Association, NFIB, and the Missouri State Teachers Association.” Hanna, of rural Barton County north of Jasper, said that she has lived in Missouri for over six decades, so she knows the issues and concerns of the area. She said that she personally

supports the second amendment and believes that all people are created equal. She also feels that Missourians should have access to affordable health care and receive a living wage.

“This community matters to me: I raised my daughters here and now my grandchildren are growing up here, as I did,” said Hanna. “I’m honest, hardworking and not afraid to stand up for what is important; I don’t back down and I can’t be bought. … I want our district’s voice to be heard! I humbly thank you for your consideration, vote because your voice matters!” In the contest for District 157 State Representative (most of Lawrence County), incumbent Mike Moon, of rural Halltown, is facing a challenge from Democrat Loretta Thomas of rural Miller. This is Moon’s last election cycle for the seat before he becomes subject to term limits. In western Greene County, the District 130 Representative contest will see incumbent Jeff Messenger of Republic, a Republican, challenged by Tyler Gunlock of rural Ash Grove, a Democrat.

Also being contested are the Dade and Lawrence county presiding commissioner’s seats. In Dade County, incumbent Randy Daniel of Greenfield, running as a Republican, is being challenged by Bob Glenn of rural Everton, running as a Democrat.

City of Lockwood Website, E-mail Changes Approved, Ordinance Typo Corrected By James McNary Articles Editor

The Lockwood Board of Aldermen had a long list of topics on the agenda for their last meeting on Oct. 25.

The changes likely most visible to residents approved by the board were updates to the city website proposed by City Clerk Chad Boehne. The changes will allow for better updating as well as the potential to accept payments online in the future. A plan to standardize city e-mail addresses was also approved, as was the purchase of a laptop computer for the use of the clerk. A proposal to install a big screen in city hall for use in presentations was approved as well.

An ordinance correcting a typographical error in the ordinance enacting the new sewer rates was also approved. Due to the error, most sewer customers will see a $1 credit on a future bill. In other business, the board:

Heard from Adam Greek, of Liberty Utilities-Empire District Electric, about their continuing willingness to work with the city on the possible purchase of the municipal electrical grid – and even the water/ sewer systems if the city were interested in selling them. Also provided was more information comparing the city’s current rate structure to that of Liberty-Empire’s. Heard from Isabella Karallas, a staff engineer

with the TREKK firm, who spoke about the various services the company offers, as well as a quick glimpse at the recent inspection the firm has performed on the city sewer system. The board approved (4-0) adding an inspection of the lift stations to the current study for an additional $10,000.

Discussed progress on the new city maintenance building – advertisements are currently being run soliciting bids for the proposed structure. The current goal is to be out of the existing building, which has been sold, by the end of November. Approved the final implementation of “fee cards” for city employees through Arvest Bank. Discussed

application

for a grant to demolish derelict properties, of which the city now has three in its possession. The grant committee reportedly prefers to give grants for groups of 10 properties or more. Discussed the proposed construction of a new concessions building at the rodeo grounds by the Chamber of Commerce and issues that could entail. Approved the transition of city telecommunications services from Mediacom to AT&T. The new agreement requires the city to buy out the remainder of one contract with Mediacom for $1,700, but will save $2,400 per year going forward. Heard other department reports and comments.

Daniel said that he has put in a lot of time and work during his time as presiding commissioner, and if voters like the job he has been doing, he would appreciate their vote for re-election.

“I have devoted an extreme amount of time to doing the best I can for Dade County, and if re-elected will continue to do the same,” said Daniel. “Your vote and support would be appreciated.” Glenn said that if elected, he would like the county health ordinance amended so that poultry farms would be subject to it, and to make sure elected officials follow the laws in place. “My goal has never been to make people mad,” said Glenn. “I’m not naive enough to think one person is going to just walk in on any board and make any big changes right away.” In Lawrence County, Republican Bob Senninger of Friestatt is facing independent candidate Mike Palmer of Pierce City for the presiding commissioner seat being vacated by Sam Goodman.

Senninger, a retired educator for the Mt. Vernon and Miller school systems, said that he is running to continue serving the people of Lawrence County.

“I would like to work more closely with the other officers of the county as we continue to strive to keep

Lawrence County running smoothly and efficiently,” said Senninger. “I would like for us, as commissioners, to work more closely with all of the Special Road District officials to ensure they know that we support their efforts. I also want to be available to the citizens as they make us aware of their concerns for the county. I will plan to search for other avenues of income such as local, state and federal grants to apply to special projects.” Palmer, a Pierce City native, retired in 2014 after 13 years as a vice president with The Empire District Electric Company. He has also previously served on both the Branson and Carl Junction city councils.

“I believe my 28 years of experience with The Empire District Electric Company … gives me some tremendous experience useful in all aspects of the Presiding Commissioner position,” said Palmer. “I believe the many leadership roles I have been involved with give me tremendous qualifications to deal with variety of issues the county faces.” Also on the ballot are questions of whether to retain judges on the state supreme and appellate courts. The Missouri Bar Association evaluation committees recommend the retention of the all the judges appearing on local ballots.

Gardner now at Greenfield State Farm Office By James McNary Articles Editor

The Greenfield office of Phil Davidson’s State Farm Insurance Agency is now open 3-5 p.m. every day and all day on Tuesdays and Thursdays, staffed primarily by Miller native Samantha Gardner.

Gardner, who is state licensed in homeowner’s and automobile insurance, said that Greenfield is a full-service office, and that if she isn’t able to immediately help somebody, arrangements can be made for a staffer from the main office in Mt. Vernon to come meet with them in Greenfield. “What I like best about State Farm is their customer service – they train us to get things done,” said Gardner. “We do our best to make things easy for our customers.” Gardner said that continuing education is necessary not just on the

Gardner has been in the insurance industry for about three years, most of that time with State Farm.

“At first, I was interested in insurance because there seemed to be more room for advancement even in rural areas, but as I got further into it, I really en-

joy being able to help people,” said Gardner. “Helping people and families to find the right type of insurance for them can help them to stay out of financial hardship if something unfortunate happens.”

By Bob Jackson Reporter

Jacob Jones of Greenfield was one of 15 electric lineman from Ozark Electric Co-op in Mt.

The crew from Ozark joined 108 coop linemen from Missouri to help restore service. The

area near Talashee, Florida, where they worked had 55,000 customers and 98% were without power. Jones and others worked 15 days averaging a 16hour work day They had to work in conditions of snakes, downed trees, alligators, big mosquitos and downed power lines.

Roof Repair Bid Gains Final Board Approval, Talks With Apple Bus Discussed

By James McNary Articles Editor

The Lockwood R-I School District Board of Education gave final approval to the bid from Stiles Roofing for repairing several sections of the high school roof, including the gymnasium, during their Oct. 24 meeting.

Supt. Clay Lasater said the roofing company was anticipating a Nov. 19 start date for work on the gym roof, timed so that it would disrupt as little school time as possible. Work would be done over the Christmas and New Year’s holiday break for roofing other portions of the building.

The roofers wouldn’t be working during any games, so scheduled tournaments can go an as planned, but they will have to block some parking on the east side of the gym.

There some discussion about the source of several of the leaks that have been plaguing occupants of the building. Lasater said that some of the moisture could be coming from the HVAC units, as the worst of it hits in afternoons when the units have been running.

“I’ve still got buckets in my office,” said Lasater.

Lasater said that he’d also begun discussions with Apple Bus Company about transportation services the company may be able to offer the district, as opposed to continuing to operate its own bus fleet.

If the district were to enter into an agreement with Apple Bus, the company typically buys the existing bus fleet from the district and hires current drivers. Lasater said that from what he understood, the company will negotiate a lot of things with districts, such as retaining a few vehicles and possibly certain employees due to retirement and time in service concerns.

Lasater said that the district currently has all but two buses paid off, and may be looking a purchasing another when the next one is paid for. In other business, the board: Approved the monthly bills.

Approved the bus ridership list for the month of October. Voted to approve the auditor’s report and to again retain the same firm for their services.

Heard reports from the elementary/middle school and high school administrators about various activities in their buildings.

Discussed a possibility of joining a consortium of schools working on a new battery of tests that could possibly be used in place of the current Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) standardized test required by the state. This testing scheme would include several assessments throughout the year.

We want to hear from you!

Cardinals Open District Play vs. Comets it off when Presten Richardson was able to hit Nick Johnson on a 28 -yard touchdown pass, Johnson’s kick good.

From Paul Langston

Miller 7-14-7-7, 35

Marionville 0-0-0-6, 6

The Miller Cardinals opened district play hosting the Marionville Comets in a rematch of the previous week’s contest. Both teams would control the ball better, going from seven turnovers combined last week to zero this week. The Cards received opening kick and put together a successful six-play drive that culminated in a 39-yard Joel Kleeman touchdown, Nick Johnson’s kick good.

Each team would be forced to punt on their next possessions. Early in the second Presten Richardson would find Neilson Hadlock for a 36-yard touchdown, Johnson’s kick good. The Cards were then forced to get creative later in the second. They utilized a fake punt to keep their drive alive and a double reverse pass to finish

The Comets received the second half kick and were able to drive to the Miller 13 before the Cards were able to hold on downs. Miller was then able to drive the field, going 86 yards before scoring on a 1-yard Nick Johnson touchdown, his kick good. The Comets would again threaten, moving the ball to the Cardinal 20 before being held on downs. Miller was able to take their next drive into Comet territory before stalling out due to penalties. Facing a 4th & 10 the Cardinals Nick Johnson found a wide open right side, taking the ball 40 yards for the final Cardinal touchdown of the night, his kick good. The Comets were able to take their next possession down the field, scoring on a pass with 34 seconds left. The

WEMO Conf. (Continued from front) “When I have more information, I’ll share it,” said Kell.

The WEMO Conference is where the Jasper and Liberal districts found refuge in all sports after the unceremonious disintegration of the Spring River Valley Conference following formation of the Southwest Conference after last school year. Greenfield was left without a conference and is playing as an independent this year in all sports. Golden City still has a co-op agreement with Lockwood for football, but is now a member of the Ozark 7 Conference

for other activities.

Those schools, along with College Heights Christian School, were not invited to join the Southwest Conference, which was formed by the other Spring River Valley schools together with a number of schools coming out of the Mid-Lakes Conference.

The stated purpose by those schools in forming the new conference was to ensure stability for their 11-man football programs. If the past is any indication, Pleasant Hope may be looking for a new conference soon, as that

Comets attempted an onside kick, but a great catch by the Cardinals’ Garrett Rollett would secure it for Miller. The Cardinals would take a knee to finish out the game.

Nick Johnson ended the night with two rushing touchdowns with 208 yards on 24 carries. He also had a receiving touchdown and was 5 of 5 kicking extra points. Joel Kleeman had five carries and one touchdown. Presten Richardson was 2 of 3 passing for 54 yards and threw for two touchdowns. The Cardinals will head to Urbana next week to take on the Skyline Tigers (7-3). This will be these teams first meeting since 2011, when in the old playoff format, the Cards beat the Tigers for a district championship, but then lost to the Tigers in the sectional game. The winner will play the winner of the Pierce City/Thayer game for a district championship.

former Mid-Lakes school reportedly just barely had enough players to field an 11-man squad this year, fewer than some of the schools excluded from the new conference.

The whole episode was similar to events of a generation ago, when many

of those same schools bolted from the old Mid-West Conference to form what became the Mid-Lakes Conference. Jasper, Liberal and Lockwood would spend almost three decades playing football in the WEMO conference while maintaining mem-

bership in what remained of the Mid-West Conference for most other activities, before the formation of the Spring River Valley Conference. WEMO Conference football has long been dominated by the Cass-Midway district near Kansas

City, with its high school in Cleveland. Among the largest class 1 high schools in the state, that district has in the past been rumored to pay tuition for students wishing to attend neighboring districts in order to retain its status as a small, class 1 school.
