Windmills and Wyatt Earp

The Netherlands of the Midwest found in Pella, Iowa

Just four and a half hours from Lake of the Ozarks is an Iowa town where Wyatt Earp and Dutch windmills meet. Pella, known for Tulip Time in early May, but has plenty to offer any time of year.

Pella’s founding pil grims sailed from the Netherlands to Pittsburg in the early 1800s. From Pittsburg, they traveled to St. Louis, picked up passage on a steamboat, and went ashore in Ke okuk. From there, they searched for land they could buy and develop. A blank space with promise became Pella, now a des tination for Dutch food, tulips, and the Vermeer windmill, the tallest work ing 1850s-style windmill in the United States. It originated in the Nether lands, was disassembled piece by piece, and reas sembled in Pella. It stands five stories, the topmost providing excellent views of the town and surround ing land.

Pella is home to an other of Iowa’s largest features: Lake Red Rock. Built for flood control of the Des Moines and Mis sissippi rivers, the dam was completed in 1969 and generates energy for Iowans. The lake is also a place for boating and fishing with camping on shore.

DAY TRIP

Pella Checklist

- If you are an avid golfer, you might want to bring your clubs. Check out the Pella Golf & Country Club and Bos Landen Golf Resort.

- Art fans have plenty of places to visit includ ing the Pella Community Center, Joan Kuyper Farver Art Gallery, The Des Moines Art Center, Union Street Players, and the Pella Opera House.

- The National Sprint Car Hall of Fame and Museum is the open daily year-round. It’s the world’s only museum dedicated to preserv ing the history of big car, sprint car and super modified racing.

- A Foodie Trail has been mapped out for visi tors at www.visitpella.com.

- There’s plenty of shopping for antiques, at boutiques and for Dutch specialties.

Another feature of Pella’s culture looming large in the nation’s imagination is Wyatt Earp. He spent his youth in Pella, and Pella will celebrate Earp with Wyatt Earp Days in September. During the festival reenactors playing Wyatt and his brothers are on hand as well as other artisans and craft booths.

Pella has cared for the building where Wyatt lived. It is part of the historical village consisting of 22 buildings. Admission to the village allows visitors to tour a sod house replica, a log cabin moved piece by piece from a nearby farm, a blacksmith’s shop, an 1850s bakery, and Earp’s boy hood home. Other buildings hold items representative of the Dutch culture.

Several restaurants in Pella serve Dutch foods. Frisian Farms Cheese House offers tours by reservation for its

gouda production. Three bakeries and two meat markets provide additional authenticity in Dutch breads, pastries, and sausages. Tassel Ridge Winery specializes in Iowa wines while Cellar Peanut Pub supplies 50 craft beers on tap.

After Dutch fare or old-fashioned fast food, Pella’s 170step to the top observation tower and a stroll through Mo lengracht Plaza showcasing Dutch architecture will insure in-town exercise. For those desiring outdoor fitness, the 14mile Volksweg Trail from Pella to Lake Red Rock guarantees beautiful scenery while completing a great workout.

Throughout the visit, guests will hear Pella’s Klokkenspel, a 147-bell carillon featuring eight mechanical figures per forming to the music. It’s a treat for the eyes and ears.

Without doubt, Missouri has many fine villages, towns, and cities with charm. Iowa adds its own in Pella.

Fall golf at the lake

It used to be after Labor Day the Lake slowed down, restaurants closed, and golf courses weren’t busy, but those times are long gone! September and October are some of th e nicest times to visit, whether golfing, boat ing, hiking or just spending time at your Lake house, the fall is the perfect time to visit and enjoy Lake of the Ozarks!

When planning your trip this fall keep in mind some helpful hin ts to make your time extra special. Even though daylight savings time begins November 6 this year, remember the days get significantly shorter as we move toward November. On Labor Day sunrise is 6:45 a.m. and sunset is 7:34 p.m. Most courses don’t allow play until approxi mately 30 to 45 minutes after sunrise to allow the maintenance crew to prepare the course for play. By the end of

GOLF

September those times have changed to a sunrise at 7:06 a.m. and sunset at 6:54 p.m., and the days continue to get shorter and shorter each day. Just because it may be 70 to 80 degrees and perfect outside remember to plan accordingly to leave enough time to finish your round. With the shorter days and the courses still being as busy as when there were 14+ hours of daylight in July, be pre pared for a fuller course. My suggestion is to plan your tee times early so you get the times you prefer. It may be a little cool first thing in the morning, but playing earlier will keep you away from the most popular times which are between 10 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. Just bring a light jacket you can shed and by the time you make the turn you will be in your short sleeves and in front of the crowds.

With fall temperatures comes the possibility of frost. What is frost? It is ice formed when water vapor on a surface is at or below 32 degrees, meanwhile the surrounding air tempera ture could be above 32 degrees. Our temperature readings are usually mea sured from five to 10 feet above the ground since this is the level we live at. What does that mean for the golf course? It means that golfers can’t walk or play on the course until the frost is gone. If players are allowed to walk and play on the course while frost is present, the tops of the grass will die and brown spots will appear.

This is detrimental for the greens in particular, so be patient with the course operator as they want to get you on the course as bad as you want to get out there. We are all at the mercy of “Mother Nature” when frost appears.

Green aeration is a maintenance practice that is done in the fall before the temperatures get to cold. This practice is necessary for the health of the turf grass and is something all golf courses must do yearly. Aeration is the process by which holes are put into the greens to allow for air to be able to get into the soil beneath the green. Aera tion is needed when the soil beneath the surface of the green becomes compacted. When the soil is compacted, the grass roots struggle to breathe. We know it frustrates play ers and we do everything possible to not inconve nience you, but weather plays a huge part when this process can be done. Course operators will try and give you an estimated date, but many factors in cluding weather, business demands and equipment availability can cause the dates to fluctuate. Just be aware that if you plan to play in October at the Lake, some to all of the greens you play on may have been recently aeri fied.

When planning your fall golf trip to the Lake it’s a good idea to check the college and profes sional football schedules. I know it sounds crazy but if the University of Mis

souri or the Kansas City Chiefs have a home game, especially against a quality opponent, the courses will be less busy at game time. There may be a lot of golf ers down for the weekend but they will want to be off the course and in front of the TV at kickoff. If you’re not a dye-hard football fan you might be able to score yourself a deal on game day!

The overall conditions of the golf courses are typically at their best in September and early Oc tober. The turf grass gets a reprieve from the stifling summer heat and the course superintendents can speed the greens up as the worry of heat stress is in the rearview mirror.

You can typically find some great fall tourna ments to play in such as the Bucket Tournament held at the Oaks at Mar garitaville Lake Resort or the Fall Couples Scramble at Lake Valley Country Club. There is nothing bet ter than waking up on a crisp fall morning to hit the links, taking in the beauty of the colors of the trees and finishing the day at sunset with a cocktail at your favorite watering hole overlooking Lake of the Ozarks.

Tickets are $50 each or $90 for a couple. They can be purchased at https://mo fosteradopt.salsalabs.org/galatickets/index.html.

The event is CMFCAA’s largest fundraiser of the year. Proceeds help the organization offer free services/pro grams to foster, adoptive and kinship families in central Missouri.

The event starts at 5:30 p.m. with reception and si lent auction. A dinner and program start at 6:30 p.m., with three special guests sharing their foster/adoption stories. The program also will feature a live auction with items such as a Fender acoustic guitar signed by all five REO Speedwagon members and a bottle of Buffalo Trace bourbon valued at close to $3,000.

The theme for this year’s Gala is “Mint To Be,” a play on words similar to what we hear in adoption stories. Each adoption is unique, but we hear a common re frain: “This is meant to be.”

CMFCAA is a rapidly growing 501(c)3 organiza tion. Last year, due to an increased need, the orga nization expanded its coverage area from 13 to 24 coun ties, while increasing its services.

Those services include training for prospective fos ter/adoptive parents and respite providers; Begin Again Backpacks for children entering the foster care system; Odyssey respite events for foster/adoptive parents; our Trunk clothing/supplies store; 30 Days to Family, a pro gram to find relatives for children to be placed with upon entering foster care; and Community Connections Youth Project, which supports young adults aging out of the fos ter care system.

Test your trivia knowledge

Ahoy, mateys! This be a fair and true listing of a few words and a little trivia as to the origin having to do with ships and sailing. These terms come mainly from the great age of sailing ships, the 16th to 18th centuries, and almost all hail from great seafaring peoples of the day, those being English, Norse, Dutch and German.

BOW

Forward part of a ship, beginning where the sides trend inward, mid-14 century, from a source such as Old Norse bogr, Middle Low German boog, Middle Dutch boech “bow of a ship,” from Proto-Germanic *bugon-, from PIE root *bheug- “to bend,” with deriva tives referring to bent, pliable, or curved objects.

STERN

Hind part of a ship; steering gear of a ship, probably from a Scandinavian source, such as old Old Norse stjorn “a steering,” related to or derived from styra “to guide”. Or the word may come from Old Frisian stiarne “rudder,”

which also is related to the word steer. Stern-wheeler as a type of steam-boat is from 1855.

PORT

The left side of a ship (looking for ward from the stern), 1540s, probably from the notion of “the side facing the harbor” (when a ship is docked); thus from port. On old-style vessels the steering oar was on the right side, thus they would tie up at a wharf on the other side. It replaced larboard in com mon usage to avoid confusion with star board; officially so by Admiralty order of 1844 and U.S. Navy Department notice of 1846. As an adjective by 1857.

STARBOARD

Old English steorbord, literally “steer-board, side on which a vessel was steered,” from steor “rudder, steering paddle,” from Proto-Germanic *steuro “a steering” (compare German Steuer), from PIE *steu-, secondary form of root *sta- “to stand, make or be firm,” + bord “ship’s side”. Similar formation in Old Norse stjornborði, Low German stürbord, Dutch stuurboord, German Steuerbord.

Early Germanic peoples’ boats were propelled and steered by a paddle on the right side. The opposite side of the ship sometimes in Germanic was the “back-board” (Old English bæcbord). French tribord (Old French estribord),

24 VACATION NEWS October 21 - November 3, 2022

BOATING

Italian stribordo “starboard” are Germanic loan-words.

HELM

Instrument by which a ship is steered, from Old English helma “rud der; position of guidance, control,” from Proto-Germanic *helmaz (source also of Old Norse hjalm, Old High German helmo, German Helm “handle”), from PIE *kelp- “to hold, grasp”.

RUDDER

The part of the helm which consists of a broad piece of timber, that enters the water, and is governed by means of the wheel or tiller.

TILLER

The bar or lever by means of which the rudder of a ship or boat is turned.

GUNWALE

Uppermost edge of a ship’s side, mid-15c., gonne walle, from gun (n.) + wale “plank” Originally a platform on the deck of a ship to support the mounted guns.

FREE FREEBOARD

Distance between waterline and main deck of a ship.

GALLEY

The word has made its way into most Western European languages. Originally “low, flat-built seagoing ves sel of one deck,” once a common type in the Mediterranean. Meaning “cook ing range or cooking room on a ship” dates from 1750.

POOP DECK

Enclosed structure at stern of ship above main deck, ( yes it is used what you think) The term Head is nautical for toilet. in the days of sail. A plank was placed near the bow or prow of the ship. The plank over hung the ship edge over the water. that is where ships crew relieve themselves. The Officers were able to use an enclosed area on the poop deck.

MIZZEN MAST

Aftermost fore-and-aft sail of a threemasted ship,” early 15 century., mesan, via French misaine “foresail, foremast,” altered (by influence of Italian mezzana “mizzen”) from Old French migenne, from Catalan mitjana, from Latin me dianus “of the middle” (from the root *medhyo- “middle”).

The sense of the English and Italian words agree, but the etymology is off because the “middle” mast on a ship is the mainmast. Perhaps it refers to a sail of “middle” size, or the thing described changed. Klein suggests an alternate etymology of the French word, from Arabic via Italian. The mizzen-mast sup ports the mizzen-sail.

ANCHOR

Device for securing ships to the ground under the water by means of cables, Old English ancor, borrowed mfrom Latin ancora “an anchor,” from or cognate with Greek ankyra “an anchor, a hook,” from root *ang-/*ank“to bend.” A very early borrowing into English and said to be the only Latin nautical term used in the Germanic lan guages (German Anker, Swedish ankar, etc.). The unetymological -ch- emerged late 16 century., a pedantic imitation of a corrupt spelling of the Latin word. The figurative sense of “that which gives sta bility or security”

SAIL

Old English segilan “travel on water in a ship; equip with a sail,” from the same Germanic source as sail; cognate with Old Norse sigla, Middle Dutch seghelen, Dutch zeilen, Middle Low German segelen, German segeln. Meaning “to set out on a sea voyage, leave port” .

BOAT

Small open vessel (smaller than a ship) used to cross waters, propelled by oars, a sail, or (later) an engine, Old English bat, from Proto-Germanic *bait(source also of Old Norse batr, Dutch boot, German Boot), possibly from PIE root *bheid- “to split,” if the notion is of

making a boat by hollowing out a tree trunk or from split planking. Or it may be an extension of the name for some part of a ship.

SHIP

Old English scip “ship, boat,” from Proto-Germanic *skipa- (source also of Old Norse, Old Saxon, Old Frisian, Gothic skip, Danish skib, Swedish skepp, Middle Dutch scip, Dutch schip, Old High German skif, German Schiff), “Germanic noun of obscure origin” [Watkins]. Others suggest perhaps origi nally “tree cut out or hollowed out,” and derive it from the root *skei- “to cut, split”.

Now a vessel of considerable size, adapted to navigation; the Old English word was used for small craft as well, and definitions changed over time; in 19 century., distinct from a boat in having a bowsprit and three masts, each with a lower, top, and topgallant mast. French esquif, Italian schifo are Germanic loanwords.

SCUTTLEBUTT

Old English “cask of drinking water kept on a ship’s deck, having a hole (scuttle) cut in it for a cup or dipper,” from scuttle “opening in a ship’s deck” scuttle + butt “barrel.” Earlier scuttle cask (1777). Meaning “rumor, gossip” first recorded 1901, originally nautical slang, traditionally said to be from the sailors’ custom of gathering around the scuttlebutt to gossip. Compare watercooler, figurative for “workplace gossip” mid-20 century.

WHEELHOUSE

The term wheelhouse was first used in the mid-1800s to describe the area of a steamboat that enclosed its steer ing wheel. You can use the word to describe the part of any boat where the captain steers, though it’s more com mon these days to call an actual wheel house a bridge or pilothouse.

Sweet Success

Donuts…America’s favorite breakfast treat. What’s not to love? They are gooey, sweet, decadent and in plentiful supply in the Lake area.

Sure, you could go for the traditional glazed or long john but why would you with a combination of flavors available that takes an ordinary donut to the next level.

When owners Dusty and Kaitlin Jewell opened Mo Co & Dough in Osage Beach they knew ex actly what they wanted to offer … donuts like you’ve never seen before.

“We are all about creativity, coffee, donuts and our community,” Dusty said.

With a menu consisting of coffee, donuts, and other breakfast staples and drinks, you won’t find concoctions like these anywhere else at the Lake. Four rotating flavors of craft donuts with unique pairings of glazes and topping combinations are highlighted each week. Called Monuts, some of the past flavors introduced in clude White Chocolate Limoncello and even a gluten-free dairyfree Pineapple Upside Down Cake.

Their MO Boats and Holes (in the food service industry a boat is slang for food tray/basket and holes for donut holes) are topped with decadent ingredients. The two best-sellers are the Blueberry Fruit Salad, made up of glazed donut holes, blueberries, local honey, and powered sugar, and The Can’t Help Falling In Love (based off an Elvis song and his favorite sandwich) glazed donut holes, peanut butter, chocolate, banana and bacon.

They also offer Loaded MOnuts, sandwiches built with a donut base instead of bread. The most popular is the South ern Sweet Heat, made with a glazed MOnut, breaded chicken breast, hot honey glaze (local honey and sriracha), coleslaw, and pickles. Your tastebuds will be hit with sweet, spicy, crunchy goodness.

For a real sugar overload, the MoShakes are an ice cream based blended drink mixed with flavors that complement the MOnut placed on top. There are some gluten-free, dairy-free and other healthy options available such as the selection of MOuffles (egg soufflés), MOasts (gluten free optional loaded toasts) and fresh fruit smoothies.

Keeping it Missouri-local, the coffee beans are roasted by Firefly Valley Farms in Roach and all baking ingredients are lo cally sourced including the honey which comes from the Eldon area.

Dusty and Kaitlin have longstanding roots in the community. Kaitlin went to the School of the Osage and Dusty’s family is three generations strong in the area. As former managers at one of the largest lakefront restaurants and entertainment venues, they wanted to strike off on their own adventure in the industry and play to their passions. Their restaurant experience is over 25 years

combined and spans from Osage Beach to Seattle’s cof fee scene (Dusty), to Columbus, Ohio where Kaitlin created local artisan baked goods.

Another donut joint located in Lake Ozark makes hun dreds of donuts a day to satisfy those early morning crav ings.

Owned by Tiffany and Keith Gipson, you’ll find every day favorites including chocolate long johns, glazed, maple bars, a variety of cake donuts as well as a selection of spe ciality items with candy bars or cereal mixed in. Recently a cinnamon sugar twist, and a jumbo birthday cake donut hole with Funfetti cake was added to the menu. Bacon maple bars and Fruity Pebbles are the most popular spe cialty donuts requested. The apple fritters are also a great seller.

A veteran-owned company, Tiffany and Keith moved to the Lake area from San Diego. Keith’s Army contract was up in 2012 and he became a student using his GI bill to pursue a degree in history. Tiffany worked in retail management with Gap, Inc. They moved to the Lake in November 2014.

“We are incredibly humbled by the support we have gotten from the community. We love that you make us a part of your day,” Tiffany said. “We love seeing kids’ faces as they look over the cases and see all of their choices or take their first bite of a donut.”

Large orders or specially-made donuts for celebrations can be made in advance and is recommended because if you don’t swing by early enough, they just might be sold out for the day.

RESTAURANT PROFILE

Rise & Shine Cafe

Good food, family and traditions

Kerry and Eloise Paulsen have been living in Macks Creek since 2017. For years Eloise would wonder why their community didn’t have a restaurant that served breakfast. She saw a need, so she filled it.

Eloise worked at J.J. Lafatas gas station and deli, located down Horseshoe Bend, for more than 20 years. Between the commute to work and the need for a breakfast estab lishment in Macks Creek, the couple decided to purchase a building to renovate into a restaurant. With the help of friends and fam ily during renovations, they opened Rise & Shine Cafe at the end of July.

Everything is homemade/made from scratch and the employees will provide friendly customer service, just like any smalltown diner would.

Eloise loves to cook, especially pastries, so the menu has a wide variety. On any given day you will find danish, cookies, croissants, cinnamon rolls, lemon gooey bars, muffins and other tasty treats. Eloise decided to carry on a Macks Creek tradition by offering fried pies. They come in a variety of flavors such as strawberry, peach, blackberry and whatever else is in season. Regulars might remember these fried pies were made famous when former Macks Creek restaurant Bonnie’s Cafe offered them for years.

For breakfast, several sandwiches are of fered along with traditional items such as hashbrowns, eggs, country-style biscuits and gravy, breakfast bowls and other plat ters. The sausage that is used is a pure pork product, fruits are fresh, and the biscuits are made every day.

The pancakes are different, made with a sweat cream, as opposed to buttermilk. A popular breakfast sandwich is the B.A.E., made with bacon, avocado and egg on whole grain wheat toast sprinkled with everything bagel seasoning. The breakfast wrap is also unusual with the added home fries wrapped inside the burrito.

RESTAURANT PROFILE

Top, right: Fried pies come in a variety of flavors. Top photo: The dining area at Rise & Shine Cafe. Above: Breakfast platters come in all sizes but the menu consists of a large selection of breakfast and lunch items.

Lunch brings a wide variety of appetizers, salads, plates and sandwiches.

Everything is hand breaded — from the onion rings, fried pickles, chicken tenders, ten derloins and fried chicken.

Irish Nachos, several burgers, wraps, pork steak, chicken fried steak, a selection of sides and different salads round out the lunch menu. One of the most popular sandwiches is the Creekside Cuban, served on a ciabatta bun with house-smoked pulled pork, ham and Swiss cheese, topped with spicy brown mus tard and house barbecue sauce.

A kids’ menu of breakfast and lunch items is offered. Monday-Friday check out the break fast and lunch specials.

Eloise believes a meal should be shared with everyone in the family together, so when customers have specific dietary needs — from allergies to vegetarian preferences — she tries to deliver.

Eloise and Kerry credit their group of em ployees that help run the restaurant for keep ing customers fed and happy. They also say that the support from the community is an other key factor for their success.

Eloise has lived in the Lake area since 1983. Kerry moved here in 1996. By day Kerry runs their stucco and stone business, Complete Stucco and Stone. He’s often seen helping out around the restaurant by smoking meats and doing whatever else needs to be done.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Tips for lowering your breast cancer risk

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, and Oncologist Sha hid Waheed, M.D., FACP, from Lake Regional Cancer Center encourages all women to learn how to reduce their breast can cer risk.

“Women can’t control every risk factor, but they can take steps to lower their chance of developing breast cancer,” Dr. Waheed sai d. “They also can take steps to catch it early if it does occur.”

The following steps are a good place to start.

· Keep a healthy weight.

· Exercise regularly.

· Don’t drink alcohol, or limit alcoholic drinks.

· If you are taking, or have been told to take, hormone replace ment therapy or oral contraceptives (birth control pills), ask your doctor about the risks and find out if it is right for you.

· Breastfeed your children, if possible.

· If you have a family history of breast cancer or inherited changes in your BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes, talk to your doctor about other ways to lower your risk.

· Get regular mammograms. For women at average risk of breast cancer, the American Cancer Society recommends:

Women between 40 and 44 have the option to start screening with a mammogram every year.

Women 45 to 54 should get mammograms every year.

Women 55 and older can switch to a mammogram every other year, or they can choose to continue yearly mammograms. Screeni ng should continue as long as a woman is in good health and is exp ected to live at least 10 more years.

All women should understand what to expect when getting a mamm o gram for breast cancer screening – what the test can and cannot do.

“There are many benefits to committing to a healthy lifestyle,” Dr. Wa heed said. “I encourage women to prioritize self-care, for thei r sake and the sake of all who love them.”

First Mammo? Check!

Are you ready to check that first mammogram off your list? Lake Re gional is making it easy with this special scheduling opportuni ty just for first-timers. Conveniently scheduled on a Saturday, the Pin ktober Mammothon is for you if you are at least 40 years old; have nev er before received a mammogram; and are free of breast lumps and pain. Plus, all participants will receive a pink gift! Learn mo re and request an appointment at lakeregional.com/FirstMammo.

Show Me Healthy Women

Routine Pap tests and mammograms can keep you safe and healthy. But not all women have access to these life saving exams. If you cannot afford a mammogram or Pap test, you may be eligible for free exams and fol low-up treatment through Missouri’s Show Me Healthy Women program. See if you qualify today. Call Lake Regional Obstetrics and Gynecology at 573-302-2764 in Osage Beach or 573-557-2553 in Eldon.

THE ARTS

submitted by Nancy Pope Arts in the Park is a tradition created by Camden County Child Advocacy Council in 1994 with a brief hiatus due to COVID.

Child Advocacy Council helps hundreds with services

underwear. Christmas is Shar ing is the winter project at which every child in the county can count on a nice gifts, clothing and food for their family through a voucher.

The intent is to expose youth to arts and crafts and and encourage creativity. All of this enhances self esteem and self confidence and was on full display on Saturday, Oct. 8, at the Camdenton City Park with grins and laughter as more than 400 children and their families participated.

The sun rose slowly and it was accompanied by the sounds of tents being raised, tables and chairs being noisily assembled and container-af ter-container of craft materials were readied for the coming event. By the time the sun had warmed up the day and dried the wet grass, there were tents for pine cone bird feed ers, sand art, bead bracelets, ghost feet, painted rocks, yarn art, wooden crafts and sewing pillows. There were squirt gun paintings a la Jackson Pollack and a local artist taught chil dren how to paint and make collages; there was face paint ing, hair painting and Giant Jenga. To top it off, Child Advocacy Council also provided hotdogs for free for everyone who wanted one or two or three.

Child Advocacy Council originated in 1979 when the State of Missouri wrote into law some of the first child abuse/ neglect laws in the nation. Missouri’s law created a Hot Line number 800-392-3738 for anyone who suspects child abuse/ neglect to anonymously call and it will be investigated within 24 hours. The law allowed for the creation of advocacy coun cils in each county which aid children at risk of child abuse/ neglect.

Camden County’s Advocacy Council is one of only two that remain in operation in the state, and Miller County cre ated its Advocacy Council approximately 10 years ago.

Camden County’s Child Advocacy Council organizes the Back to School Fair every year, at which every child in the county can have back packs, school supplies and socks and

This is particularly true for foster children. The Council has written several grants, the latest is for Climax Springs and Stoutland schools called Too Good for Drugs in which the school counselors implement curriculum to build communi cation skills, self esteem and an understanding the effects of alcohol and drugs. Previous grants created by the Coun cil include bringing in guest speakers who address bullying and suicide prevention as well as building family relationships through activities at Winder mere.

About Child Advocacy Council

Child Advocacy Council is committed to educating the public about child abuse/ neglect. The child population in Camden County is 17.4 percent and Camden County children living in poverty is 21.2 percent.

“We know that child abuse/neglect is present in all classes of society and we know that poverty does not lead to children being abused or neglected but the tensions of a parent/s facing eviction or of trying to make ends meet, can provide the breaking point,” a CCCAC spokesman said. “We also know that a parent’s drug abuse can lead to abuse/ neglect of that parent’s children. Camden County has a sig nificant rate of drug abuse which then affects children. These are issues that Child Advocacy Council attempts to address in its efforts to educate about child abuse and neglect.”

The Council receives its funding through various grants and also through its sales at the Child Advocacy Thrift Store located on Dawson Street in Camdenton. The Council it ac cepts donations of money and gently used items at the Thrift Store.
