Dade County Men’s Civic Club Announces Adapted Plans for Christmas Project 2020 By James McNary Articles Editor

The Dade County Men’s Civic Club has announced that it will once again be collecting gifts to distribute to children in need of Dade County for 2020. Having had to cancel the Trick-or-Treating activity they usually sponsor at the Dade County Nursing Home due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the Club will adapting the gift distribution for this year.

“We have devised a plan for a ‘drive through’ toy pick up so we can do the social distancing thing,” said Don Adams, spokesman for the group. “The Dade County Health Department has approved of our plan.”

Adams said that a list of eligible clients is collected by the local OACAC Neighborhood Center. Any parents or guardians with children in need of assistance in purchasing Christmas presents this

year should register with the OACAC Neighborhood Center, which can be reached via telephone at 417-637-2701.

For those who would like to donate a toy, dropoff boxes will be available at the Dollar General store and at the Great Southern Bank branch in Greenfield, as well as at the Simmons and Arvest bank branches in Lockwood. Anyone wishing to make a monetary donation to

the Men’s Civic Club for the project can contact any group member, or mail their donation to the Dade County Men’s Civic Club, c/o Don Adams, 35 N. State Hwy 39, Greenfield, MO 65661. For more information, contact Don Adams at 417-637-5742 or Jim Sims at 417-637-0017

SBA Economic Injury Disaster Loans Available to Mo. Small Businesses From the Small Business Administration

Small non-farm businesses in eight Missouri counties and neighboring counties in Kansas are now eligible to apply for low interest federal disaster loans from the U.S. Small Business Administration, announced Director Tanya N. Garfield of SBA’s Disaster Field Operations Center-West. These loans offset economic losses because of reduced revenues caused by the drought in the following primary counties that began Oct. 20,

2020.

Primary Missouri counties: Dade and Jasper.

Neighboring Missouri counties: Barton, Cedar, Greene, Lawrence, Newton and Polk. Neighboring Kansas counties: Cherokee and Crawford.

“SBA eligibility covers both the economic impacts on businesses dependent on farmers and ranchers that have suffered agricultural production losses caused by the disaster and businesses directly impacted by the di-

saster,” Garfield said.

Small non-farm businesses, small agricultural cooperatives, small businesses engaged in aquaculture and most private nonprofit organizations of any size may qualify for Economic Injury Disaster Loans of up to $2 million to help meet financial obligations and operating expenses which could have been met had the disaster not occurred.

“Eligibility for these loans is based on the financial impact of the disaster only and not on any actual property damage. These loans have

an interest rate of 3 percent for businesses and 2.75 percent for private nonprofit organizations, a maximum term of 30 years and are available to small businesses and most private nonprofits without the financial ability to offset the adverse impact without hardship,” Garfield said.

By law, SBA makes Economic Injury Disaster Loans available when the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture designates an agricultural disaster. The Secretary declared this disaster on Oct. 26, 2020.

Businesses primarily engaged in farming or ranching are not eligible for SBA disaster assistance. Agricultural enterprises should contact the Farm Services Agency about the U.S. Department of Agriculture assistance made available by the Secretary’s declaration. However, nurseries are eligible for SBA disaster assistance in drought disasters. Applicants may apply online, receive additional disaster assistance information and download applications at https:// disasterloanassistance.

sba.gov/. Applicants may also call SBA’s Customer Service Center at 800-6592955 or email disastercustomerservice@sba.gov for more information on SBA disaster assistance. Individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing may call (800) 877-8339. Completed applications should be mailed to U.S. Small Business Administration, Processing and Disbursement Center, 14925 Kingsport Road, Fort Worth, TX 76155.

The deadline to apply for economic injury is June 28, 2021.

COMMENTARY

Something to Think About Just for fun, please think about the things you did NOT learn in high school. I have put together a short list. I am sure you can add to it. Chess, Monopoly, Goh (or Go), Acquire (based on Goh). Boxing, Judo and Karate. Aerodynamics designing, assembly and flying model airplanes or drones. Whittling/wood carving. Use of common hand tools.

I Fear

Sharpening tools. Carpentry / wood structures, wood species and characteristics. Wood craft with ax, etc. Engine mechanics, maybe in Voc. Ed. Toss in carpentry, home electrical, and plumbing. Parts of a car. Riding a bicycle or much of anything. Shooting / hunting plus ballistics and loading AND safety. Animal traps and tracks/

I fear too many American thinkers are thinking wrongly in these days. Yes! Of course! It’s true. Let me ask you this, why are so many men piling haystacks in wrong fields? Why do so many men get angry with other men for no reason? Giving blather and blame when no blame or blather is supportable or due. Putting blame where they want as they say. Such folks as these will stand in your face and try to belittle all God’s good judgments and decrees - these men who are becoming know-it-alls in the earth, even down to declaring God is not a real person in all His matters, offices and decrees! I have heard high, religious leaders, believe it or not, giving good credence to totally wrong and errant folks, earth-side here, these men who are going totally against God’s word and ways! Yes! They do go against His Holy Bible trying to stand and bat it down! Saying the words of His Good Book are either mistranslated or

wrong! We know men have a right to be different - we know this - even to think differently. Yes, men can be different all day long so long as they are not breaking and dashing God’s good laws! God’s laws supersede all acts and laws of all mankind! Certainly so! But the crux of the matter? We men must not fight, never! We must leave it to God to pick His own peas from His own golden pepper. And while we follow all His leads! And laws! We must not fight! Ever! Over ridiculous barren things! That being said I will tell you there are always good people here on earth in all sides in any mess, squabble or group of men coming or falling together anywhere for any purpose. This is an absolute and total fact. If you don’t believe it you might also not believe God’s stars are falling and moving across His universe - even His own little planets circling totally around them. So there you go, all you good and gracious men of earth, there are al-

Paisley and Cutler spent Friday night. Jacob and Abby went out to eat at Joplin with one of his co-worker couple. They had a good time. But, then again, they would have had a good time at McDonald’s with no children. Jacob and Abby came for breakfast to get the little ones. Cutler gets so excited when he sees his daddy. Chloe’s tournament games at Sarcoxie on Saturday. After four games, they won the championship. That was one bunch of happy girls. I think Melinda Jones was happier than they were. It was a long day. Afterwards, Kim and I stopped at Mt. Vernon and ate at the Angus Branch and then home. It was 8:30 p.m. when we got home. Lynetta Leeper spent Saturday with her mother, Betty Vandegrift and they had a good visit. Sunday, Kim and Jacob moved cattle all day, getting ready to wean calves and getting ready to for winter feeding. Time for grandchildren, Wade and Chloe, to begin basketball practice. I am looking forward to that. I believe their games will begin after the first of the year. If all goes well, we should be getting our new roof soon. All that damage in the spring. I know our roofer, Adam’s Roofing out of Mt. Vernon, had 600 roofs at one time due to storm damage. I will just be happy to get it done. Holiday season is here and always a busy time of the year. Maybe not so busy or as busy with the virus. It will change our holiday season and I hate that. I look so forward to

our family gathering, but due to the size of our family coming from different states, we have called off Thanksgiving at this time. That is depressing. But I want to keep everyone safe. I had to laugh as Jacob called me at work early one morning and ask if I was calling off the holidays. Made me think of Dustin always checking in to find out when the next family dinner/gathering was. He loved them so much. Won’t ever be the same without him. Brother-in-law, Tim Leeper, had ran into Everton’s former coach, Wayne Burch, who lives in Camdenton, Missouri and they had a good visit. Found out that he lost his son, Garrett, a couple years ago and they are helping their daughter-in-law raise their four children. On Monday, I had a doctor’s appointment and took the day off to get some errands done. Enjoyed lunch with an old co-worker, Linda Darling and we had a great visit. It was sure cold and damp with all the rain. Went home and got warmed up as Kim has started the wood furnace. That wood heat is so wonderful. I do love the mess outside, I have to admit. Prayers to Paul Clabough who is still having some issues following his COVID-19 stay in the hospital. It has really taken a toll on his body. On Tuesday night after work, I went and visited my sister, Linda Coble and took her some food. She still is not getting around very well, but she is improving. It is slow, but not fast enough for her. She will get there. Speedy recovery to Earl

ways good men standing in all crowds of men even while the stars roll and toss inside God’s heavens. But no matter - we men must learn to live within certain restraints, always, we must learn to bring peace and good cheer to earth. When peace comes, when it arrives (and it will), we will all have learned to stand high among God’s magnificent clouds - to dream His dreams forever, learning chaos, sorrow and infamy no more! Never again! Another Room Yes, it is me, and I write this to you To tell you not to be sad, I am gone away today, but not too far, I am in a room nearby. Please come sit by me for a little while If you will. Let me gaze into your face again, Let me remember you, let me remember you well, And if you want, you can remember me, too.

We will sit together quietly not speaking for a time, Then you will smile at me and suddenly say: “Is that you, Dad, is it?” And you will hear my answering voice coming From deep within your heart. “Yes! Child! It is your dad! Truly it is! And tonight We will go to the window, my sweet little baby From old, and as I hold you in my arms we Will look at the moon, and I will teach you A new word, ‘mo-moon.’ And I will teach you That life is a dream, a dream that lasts even Forever! Yes! Child! Even until now! Smile child! I love you so very much! Remember! Remember! Dad! Author’s note: I wrote this long ago. It was stuck in a drawer.

By Lesia Jones and Patti Killingsworth. They both have COVID-19 and they had to take Earl by ambulance on Thursday night. We know Patti is sick when she had to call someone to help her. Too sick to do her chores. I do believe that the people that have had COVID-19 have a new respect for it. It does not matter what your age or health condition is. I wonder when some of these younger people die from it, if they had something else going on that had not surfaced yet that made it more complicated? Guess we will never know. My brother, Darren, is finally back to his ole self. After several weeks. The fatigue he said was the worst part. Kim and Jacob were complaining about the rain and I had to remind them that just a few days ago they were asking for rain. God has provided. Got the news Saturday morning that Uncle Bob Myers of South Greenfield passed away at the nursing home. Kim left Chloe’s volleyball game at Sarcoxie to go tell his mother. He made it back in time and only missed a few minutes of her next game. Talk about a wild trip. Our deepest sympathy to the families of Bob Myers. He was a kind-hearted soul. He would give the shirt off his back to someone that needed it. May God comfort each of them during this trying time. On Thursday night, we went and got Carol Jones and met Kelbey and Asa, Jacob Jones at the funeral home to show our respect to Bob Myers, brother to Carol, uncle to Kim and great uncle to Kelbey and Jacob. He looked so nice.

No one was there and we sat and told stories and enjoyed looking at the pictures and flowers. Afterwards, we went to Nard’s in Dadeville for supper. Friday morning, Kim was up early as he was headed to Indiana for another big hunt. Wade wanted to go, but Kim hated to pull him out of school twice in one month. He has a really big hunt in April and told Wade he would be going on that one. Give him something to look forward to. Wishing him safe travels and good luck in his hunt. He does loves his hunting, but he also loves going to these hunts and visiting with so many of his coon hunting buddies that he has met all over the states and visits with them by phone all the time. Several have come and stayed at our home to hunt or trade dogs. I will call it a coon hunters union. They have each other’s back. Two of his buddies drove from Illinois and back to come to Dustin’s funeral. That says a lot about these guys. I always say, you have to be a friend to have a friend. I can’t imagine not having my besties. Deepest sympathy to the family of Jennifer Bowles who passed away in her home on Wednesday night. Prayers to this family. Her funeral is pending at this time. She leaves behind husband, Scotty, and three children. Have a blessed week. Start living now. Stop saving the good china for that special occasion. Stop withholding your love until that special person materializes. Every day you are alive is a special occasion. Every minute, every breath, is a gift from GOD.

Be in the know wherever you go!

Getting to The Point By Jean (Mincey) Mausehund The forecast for this past week must have frozen my brain. I had an article all ready to go last Friday, and then forgot to send it. Guess it is time for me to leave notes on my computer to remind to do things. One of my favorite motivational speakers is Jeannie Robertson who reminds us that being able to laugh at ourselves for such things as “senior moments” is a true blessing. She says every day her “to do” list includes the reminder to find something to laugh about herself. Notice how many times I used the word “remind” or some derivative of it, so I get plenty of chances to laugh at myself. However, we do have to be thankful for the rains that came the past few days; in fact, the rain gauge hit the three-andone-half inchea yesterday (Tuesday), One can keep hoping to do a little more catching up on needed rain for the next couple of days. Then, we can enjoy a few days of sunny and a little warmer weather–our brush with an Indian Summer? Junior high football is done for the year, so some families can return to free Thursday evenings for a few weeks before basketball season kicks into gear. The high school season is close to winding down too–the last games may take place in true football weather. At least the basketball games are held in the warm–but noisy–indoor gyms. The not so good news coming out of Good Shepherd Home is the number of cases of the virus and one death. The good news is that most cases haven’t been too severe–because all resi-

dents and staff have had the flu shot this fall, that may be a factor. Good hint to those of you who haven’t had your flu shot this year–might be a good idea to do so soon. The Miller Lions Club is revived a favorite event with the “All You Can Eat Fish Fry” on Sunday, November 1. Hope you were able to enjoy the fried catfish, baked beans, cole slaw, hush puppies, drinks, and desserts. Even if you don’t like wearing a mask, don one for a few minutes to visit your local library and get some good books to read when staying home these days. If you aren’t a reader, the libraries also have a selection of movies and other forms of entertainment for your pleasure. By the time your next issue of The Vedette arrives in your mailbox, the election should be over all but the counting. The pundits are saying we won’t know the winner until around Thanksgiving. Hope you made it to the polls early on Tuesday and to make your vote count. King’s Point has set the day for the annual Holiday Dinner for Sunday, December 6, following morning worship. That gives us about ten days to recover from our families’ Thanksgiving dinners and soon enough to allow time to enjoy Christmas treats later in the month without too much guilt. The children of the church will present their cantata on Sunday, December 13, at the morning worship service. Then the adult choir members will present their cantata on Sunday, December 20, at the morning worship service.

Gone but never forgotten. Last Monday, we had a belated birthday cake for Janie Myers at the store. She had been sick the week before so better late than not. Rick’s sister, Robbie and Denny Hollis are happy to announce the arrival of their first great-granddaughter, Aria Mae Jarrett.

She arrived on October 26, 2020 at 4:36 p.m., tipping the scales at 6 lbs., 15 oz. and 21 inches long. Proud parents are Channing Jarrett and Kiana Washington. I was so sorry to get word that Jennifer “McGuire” Bowles, 46, passed away on October 28, 2020. Jennifer had been battling some kind of muscle disease for two years and they just couldn’t figure out what was going on. She put up a very brave and courageous fight to the end. Jennifer loved riding and messing with horses. She lost her sister, Heather, in a car accident November 9, 2014 and then lost her precious niece, Baylor Bowles. We need to keep her family in our prayers. She leaves behind her husband, Scotty Bowles, three children and her parents Rick McGuire and Brenda Gregory. No service has been scheduled yet. Also got word former preacher, Ronald Dykes, lost his mother, Margaret Dykes, on October 28, 2020. She had just celebrated her 96th birthday on October 21st. Lena Fanning, 83, of Lockwood passed away on October 27, 2020 at the Lockwood Nursing Home. My Mom and I both worked with Lena at the Lockwood Hospital. She leaves behind her four girls: Ima Jean Probert, Kathy Fanning, Becky Ritchey and Toni Probert along with many family and friends. Graveside service was October 31 at First Christian Church Cemetery in Golden City. Elsie Stephens, 90, passed October 27, 2020, at the Dade County Nursing Home. Elsie use to live off K Highway before moving over to the Greenfield Park. No services are planned. Jim Myers, 84, passed in Warrensburg October 25, 2020. Jim was a 1954 Dadeville graduate and leaves behind his wife, Judy of 62 years, three sons-Steve, Phil and Mike. Graveside services were at Dadeville Masonic Cemetery. Carl Woods, 90, passed away October 25, 2020 at Good Shepherd Nursing Home. I use to take care of Carl’s wife, Elsie, when I worked at the N. H. and

Carl never missed coming in to see her every day. He was such a sweet guy. Carl is survived by one brother, Marvin and two sisters-Myrtle Guinn and Gladys Woods. Graveside was at Lockwood Cemetery. Uncle Bob Myers graveside service was held on a beautiful sunny day at Daughtery Cemetery Friday, October 30. It was a nice service and we want to thank everyone who came out and showed the family support during this most difficult time. I want to congratulate the GHS volleyball team on winning District Championship two years in a row. They had to beat Golden City in three sets last Wednesday night. Way to go! Earl Killingsworth is in the hospital fighting COVID-19 and we need to keep him in our prayers. Patty is home feeling better but not totally well yet. Saturday, Donald Gillen went to an auction and bought a truck load of furniture and I had to go help haul it home since he got it for us. He is such a good guy and never seems to complain. Thanks, Donald, for all your help. Saturday was a beautiful day for the trick or treaters. I was happy to have Lucy come down from Springfield and little Bodhi came up to the store, too. We went around the square and I got lots of pictures of course. I saw lots of cute costumes and the adults joined in, too, which is nice. Last Friday, Easton Roberts (4) scared everyone to death when they had to fly him out by helicopter. Come to find out he was having an episode with hypoglycemia shock. He had to spend the night and got to come home Saturday evening. Wasn’t happy to miss Halloween but he is feeling much better and is going to have to eat better. I know it scared his mommy, Chasity and Grandma Nita Terfertiller to death. Steve Jones has been one happy grandpa with Tyler and his family here visiting. Those four little girls have Papa wrapped around their fingers. Rick Baker went and spent the night with his

dad on Friday night giving his sister, Brenda McPhail, a break. BJ who usually stays with him has been on quarantine since Rick’s sister-Becky Anderson (her mother) was down with the COVID-19. She is feeling much better but they don’t want to take any chances of giving it to Jim. Neil and Dawna Pirtle had to cancel their Hawaii trip due to this COVID-19 so they took off for New Orleans for a few days. After the hurricane was going to hit, they went on to San Antonio, Texas and saw the Alamo and walked the River Walk downtown. Then onto Waco, Texas to see Magnolia Market. They hope to go back there because a lot of it was under construction. But they had a wonderful time and home never looked so good. I saw where several young hunters hit the mark this past weekend. Congratulations to Millie Pirtle, Titus Taylor, Johnny Spain and Grace Roseman to name just a few. Dalis Julian and Sharon Pierce hosted a barn Halloween party for their families and boy did they have fun. The kids and adults really got into the games. The Montgomery cabin is gearing up for opening deer season and went to get a jag of wood over the weekend. If everyone got a jag like these guys, we wouldn’t ever run out of wood. Those helping were: Tye and Greg Killingsworth, Mike Myers, Greg Adams, Elmer Witt, Monty Russell and Phillip Montgomery. Lyle and Janet Burns enjoyed having company for lunch on Sunday. Olivia, Garret, Morgan and Joy Burns joined them. Steven Ogden and Courtney Poirot ran in the Bass Pro Marathon Sunday morning with lots of fans on the sidelines cheering them on. Got word that CW McGuire is in the hospital and coded on them Sunday. He is on a ventilator now and needs our prayers. Everyone have a safe week and enjoy this beautiful fall weather we are having after such a nice slow rain last week.

There will be trucks and pavers so expect delays and drive slow. Fruit cocktail is the most disappointing of all cocktails. It is all fun and games fishing until you lose a big walleye.

Just a reminder: That you gained an hour and a few pounds eating Halloween candy last weekend. I always say what I mean. Sometimes I don’t mean to say it out loud.

Since COVID-19 struck Missouri nearly eight months ago, Governor Mike Parson and his administration have worked continuously to combat the virus and keep Missourians as safe as possible.

The Governor’s Office was initially briefed on the COVID-19 pandemic by Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services (DHSS) Director Dr. Randall Williams on January 28, 2020, and immediately began taking steps to prepare.

When Missouri’s first positive case was identified on March 7, Governor Parson immediately traveled to St. Louis for the announcement. Since that time, Governor Parson’s administration, Missou-

have worked together to respond, rebuild, and recover.

“A tremendous amount of work has been accomplished over the past eight months, and it does not stop here,” Governor Parson said. “We have come a long way since March, and we will continue to do everything we can to respond to COVID-19 and keep Missourians safe.” Since March, the state has taken numerous actions to respond and adapt to COVID-19, including the following: Pulled together the entire Cabinet and every state agency to coordinate response efforts

Convened weekly calls with community leaders

utes and regulations to provide more flexibility and safety for Missourians Mobilized the Missouri National Guard to assist with COVID-19 response Constructed an alternate care site in 11 days to assist hospitals in the St. Louis region Significantly expanded COVID-19 testing to over 100,000 tests per week Delivered Remdesivir to hospitals across the state

Partnered with Google to launch the PPE Marketplace

Launched interactive COVID-19 dashboards including public health, economic recovery, and social impact data Launched the Show Me Strong Recovery Plan to

Submitted a comprehensive COVID-19 vaccine response plan to the CDC

A new page highlighting Missouri’s COVID-19 response efforts can be found on Governor Parson’s website. Topics include education, public safety, child care and families, vulnerable populations, mental health, business and economy, and the four Show Me Strong Recovery pillars – testing, PPE, health care system capacity, and data.

For Your Health: Preparing for Healthy Holidays From Dr. Graham A. Colditz Siteman Cancer Center

The crisp fall days let us know that Thanksgiving is getting close. It’s a wonderful holiday for enjoying comforting food and connecting with family and friends. It’s also the first major holiday this season that will feel different because of the pandemic. With COVID-19 rates remaining high, it’s important to keep our families, our friends and ourselves as safe and healthy as possible through the coming holidays. Below are tips to consider as you start making plans and to-do lists. Some relate directly to the coronavirus, others to health in general. Celebrate safely

Thanksgiving often means a big sit-down meal with close family, distant cousins and old friends. But a classic indoor gathering also increases the risk of spreading the coronavirus. If just one person has the virus – even if he or she doesn’t feel sick – it can easily spread to others. A safer way to celebrate is to have a smaller Thanksgiving meal just with family members who live together. You can connect with others by coordinating and enjoying your mealtime over a group phone call or

Preservation (Continued from front) The announcement lists the Greenfield structure as “Old Phillips 66 Gas Station, Greenfield, Mo.” The structure is described as occupying a prominent location in the community, and as having continued in its original function as a gas station until the 1980s, after which it housed a variety of establishments, including a nail salon, hot dog stand, “BBQ joint,” and offices of the local Chamber of Commerce. “The current owners do not wish to see the building demolished but are no longer able to care for the property which has been vacant for about four years. The former gas station requires a new roof and other maintenance. The owners received a letter from the city, requesting that repairs be made or the building torn down,” continued Missouri Preservation announcement. “While there is plenty of verbal support from the community, this tiny Greenfield landmark needs a champion to help the current owners restore it to its original glory, retaining what has been – and hopefully will be – a center-

piece in Greenfield for generations to come.”

“Places in Peril” is a list endangered historic places in Missouri released annually by Missouri Preservation, which was founded in 1976 as the Missouri Heritage Trust. Locations are nominated by concerned individuals and decided upon by a committee of preservation advocates.

A video of the “Places in Peril” announcement available on the group’s website, www.preservemo. org, as well as their various social media accounts. The announcement was sponsored by STRATA Architecture + Preservation on behalf of Missouri Preservation.

Originally established as the Missouri Heritage Trust, Missouri Preservation now describes itself as a network of individuals, organizations, and preservation commissions throughout Missouri, that advocates for, educates about, and assists in the preservation of architectural and historic landmarks that embody Missouri’s unique heritage and sense of place.

video chat. Record it for those who can’t take part. It won’t be the same, but you can still show you’re thinking of them. Other safety guidelines and ideas from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are at bit.ly/HolidaysCDC and bit.ly/ActivitiesCDC. Check in on your family’s health

“The holidays are a time when we check in with extended family members, even if we can’t be together in person,” said Bettina Drake, associate director of community outreach and engagement at Siteman Cancer Center at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. Part of that can be catching up on their health and well-being. Drake suggests three ways to do that: Ask relatives (and friends) how they’re doing, especially if they live alone, and see if there’s anything they need.

If some have missed doctor’s appointments or screenings because of the pandemic, encourage them to contact their health-care providers about getting back on track. Help them make an appointment, even. If you haven’t recently, update your family health history for your relatives to

share at their next doctor visits. If a disease like cancer or heart disease runs in the family, there may be steps that can help reduce or manage your risk.

Keep up with healthy behaviors – and look after yourself

Combine the busy holidays with shorter, colder days – plus a global pandemic – and it’s really easy to get knocked off our regular health and self-care routines. But for our well-being, it’s important to stay physically active, eat healthy food, get enough sleep and just take some time for ourselves. It’s not always easy to do – and can take some creativity these days – but it can also have real benefits.

It’s safe to say most of us are tired of pandemic life, and with some of our favorite holidays coming up, it’s tempting to take a break from precautions and celebrate like we would normally. But it’s important that we keep taking steps to stay safe and healthy and to curb the Coronavirus outbreak. Yes, the holidays will be different this year. But different doesn’t have to mean worse. With a little extra effort, they can still be special, meaningful and offer a chance to connect with loved ones.

It’s your family’s health. Take control. Additional resources

members,” the Dade County Health Department announced in a statement. “Please keep in mind, we are announcing the death of someone’s loved one so please give the reverence that the family deserves. It would be greatly appreciated.”

As of Nov. 1, Dade County has 56 active cases and a single resident hospitalized. Of the 228 confirmed positives in the county, there have been 157 confirmed recoveries. In Lawrence County, cases continued to spike, with another 37 cases added on Oct. 30 alone. As of that date, Lawrence County has 110 active cases of COVID-19 out of 1,227 confirmed positives.

ty as well as our surrounding counties are experiencing high numbers of cases and hospitalizations,” read a Lawrence County Health Department statement. “Last week the Missouri Hospital Association showed that [the positive] rate in Lawrence County was near 14 percent …. This is not good. We all have to do our part to slow this spread. We cannot [emphasize] this enough. We as a health department cannot force our local leaders to implement a mask ordinance. We do however support wearing a mask everywhere you go.”

“We encourage practicing social distancing, wear a cloth face covering, washing hands often and stay home if your sick or running a fever,” continued the DCHD statement. “Please follow guidelines given by the Health Dept. if you are in isolation or quarantine. We all have to do our part and work together to stop the spread.”

e-mail or even text message. For prospective jurors who remain in the pool of qualified jurors after completing their questionnaires, the court still will send the summons via postal mail.

Potential jurors who believe they are not qualified for jury service under state law can follow the online instructions to submit their necessary documentation electronically.

For potential jurors who provide the appropriate contact information, the local circuit clerk’s office can notify them by text message or e-mail before they report for service if their service no longer is needed. For potential jurors who do not have access to a computer or who prefer not to communicate information electronically, they

may call our office.

Missouri courts do not require anyone to provide confidential information over the telephone call or by e-mail. The Show-Me Jury system is designed to give citizens a choice how they want to communicate with their local courts about potential jury service. Any telephone call or e-mail threatening the recipient with fines or jail time for failure to comply are fraudulent, are in no way connected with Missouri courts and should be reported to local law enforcement officials.

Juries are a hallmark of the American justice system, and we truly appreciate the willingness of our citizens to serve as jurors. Through the Show-Me Jury system, we hope to make that service much easier and more convenient.

O’Neal’s Service Station Now Open in Former Blackwell’s Location By James McNary Articles Editor

After a brief closure, the former Blackwell’s Service Station on Main Street in Lockwood has reopened as O’Neal’s Service Station and Garage. Local mechanic Jimmy O’Neal has leased the filling station and garage formerly operated as Blackwell’s from the new property owner, who are retaining management of the car wash facility themselves. O’Neal said that he has been a mechanic his entire life, going to back to working with on cars with his family growing up in Seymour. After his marriage to the former Tresa Veatch and moving to Greenfield three years ago, he had been looking to open up his own shop while working for others. He has maintained multiple ASE certifications, so when the opportunity came to lease the Blackwell station and garage, O’Neal jumped on it. Blackwell’s was known as one of the few full-service stations remaining in the area, and while O’Neal’s no longer has a full-service pump, O’Neal said that he’ll still help

out folks that need it, for old time’s sake. “That’s just part of customer service,” said O’Neal. “I want to make sure my customers are taken care of.” O’Neal’s remains a cash or check payment only establishment, and prepay on all pumps. Only automotive items are being offered for sale on the retail side, with no convenience store goods being offered at this time. O’Neal said this is all part of an effort to control costs, which he says at $65 per

hour is among the lowest shop floor rates in the area. It also allows him to concentrate on what he does best, working on vehicles, not selling soda pop. “The coffee is complementary and so is the soda if I happen to have any,” said O’Neal. “The licensing costs are outrageous to get set up to sell food, liquor or tobacco.” O’Neal’s garage will focus on light vehicles (and the occasional ton truck), no farm machinery or large over-the-road

trucks. Running as oneman shop for the time being, O’Neal said that he does pretty much every thing except body work and rebuilding automatic transmissions, including regular service, code checks, and heat/AC repair. O’Neal’s Service Station is open 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday through Friday, located on Main Street in Lockwood. O’Neal said that he has a number of opening specials and items on sale until old stock runs out.

Halloween a Success for LES Students From Heather Neill Lockwood Elementary

Lockwood Elementary wants to give a huge shout out to the Lockwood Community. The school’s Halloween parties had to look a little different this year, but as usual the community and businesses stepped in to make sure that the kids still had an amazing time. The following businesses donated for the goodie bags that the kids received instead of doing the traditional parade down Main Street. Thanks to PTO for collecting and putting the bags together. We couldn’t ask for a better community. As always, we are beyond thankful at the support the Lockw o o d community has given the s c h o o l s . Apologies for

anyone missed: Evan’s Drug, United Nations Logistics, Shelter Insurance, Kerr’s Millworks, Lockwood Hardware, Tiger Home Furnishings, Mercy Clinic, MFA, Angie’s Floral Shop, Dade County Christian Center, Quantum, Extreme Vinyl, Main Street Boutique, Casey’s, Arvest, Pittsenbarger’s Accounting and The Crossing.

Hartzler Tour (Continued from front)

Act funding and other COVID-19 related relief funding that makes it difficult to determine what private organizations may or may not qualify.

Following the gathering at Backwoods, Hartzler toured the manufacturing facilities of Pennington Seed in Greenfield and the food production facility of Lockwood Packing Company/Frickenschmidt Foods in Lockwood, visiting with management and employees at both.

Hartzler, a Republican, represents the 4th congressional district of Missouri in the House of Representatives of the United States Congress. A native of rural Archie, she and her family live on a farm near Harrisonville. She was a home economics teacher for 11 years prior to her run for the state legislature in 1994. The 4th congressional district is largely rural portions of western and central Missouri, but includes Columbia and a sliver of the Kansas City area, in addition to some of the northernmost outskirts of the Springfield area.

Congresswoman Vicky Hartzler (R-MO4) visited Dade County on Oct. 29. She first met with area officials and community leaders in Greenfield at the Backwoods Restaurant (below), then toured the Pennington Seed plant in Greenfield (top) and later the Lockwood Packing Company/Frickenschmidt Foods facility in Lockwood (above).
