Spring was in the air Saturday,
March 21st at the annual Spring
Fling Luncheon hosted by Dotti
Greenwald-Berman, to benefit
the Lakes Area Child Advocacy
Center that serves Stone and
Taney Counties. Buckingham’s
Restaurant in Branson was the
location and spring hats the
theme. Tables were decorated
with hats, tulle and small baskets
containing wrist watches serving
as prizes for each table. Ladies
were asked to wear decorated
hats for a contest and the three

The Stone County Library will
be making big changes to its services beginning April 1st. The
library is ready to help you when
you are homebound and cannot
get to a library branch. Patrons
who are homebound due to illness, handicap or other hardship
circumstance will be eligible for
a new Books by Mail Service. This free service will send the
books you want directly to your
door.
Patrons can check out up to
10 items for 4 weeks by filling
out an application and reader’s
profile. Library staff will choose
items based on your reader’s
profile and mail them directly to
you. You may request specific
titles if they are available. The
library will also pay for postage
for the return of the items.
This new service will replace
the bookmobile service which
will suspend its service on March
31st. “The bookmobile usage
has been in decline over the last
several years. Last year, usage
dropped 54% with less than 1600
books being checked out, and it
is continuing to decline this year. It is no longer economically viable to keep the bookmobile on
the road. Last year, it was over
$10 per item circulated just to
keep it running” said Colleen
Knight, Director of Stone County Library. Longtime bookmobile driver Fred Daugherty will
continue serving the residents of
this county at the Galena library
fulltime.

The Lakes Area Child Advocacy Center, located in the Claybough Plaza in Branson West, is
a not-for-profit agency that provides unique services to child
victims of abuse in Stone and
Taney Counties. They provide
a safe, child-focused environment for forensic information
gathering from children who
are victims of sexual or physical abuse, neglect, children from
active methamphetamine homes,
or who are witness to a crime. The child receives a forensic interview by a trained interviewer,
which is video recorded and
used to help investigate these
child abuse cases. If needed the
child also receives a specialized
medical assessment by a trained
professional.
Lakes Area Child Advocacy
Center is part of a multidisciplinary team made up of children’s division law enforcement,
special investigators, prosecutors, and serves 130 to 200 Stone
and Taney County children each
year. LACAC also can provide
the family with referrals for
counseling, medical or dental
referrals and connects them with
appropriate community resources as needed. For further information or if you would like to

The Pastor’s Corner
Hello, I’m Wayne Blades,
Pastor of the Crane Fundamental
Methodist Church. We are
located on Hwy D at the top of
the hill. My wife, Marchia, and I
are both Crane natives and have
lived in the area all of our lives.
We raised four daughters; two of
which still live in Crane. They
have five of our grandchildren
who attend Crane Schools.
Another daughter lives in
Spokane with her three children,
and another in Kansas with her
three children. We are blessed!
Four daughters, four sons-inlaw and eleven grandchildren
make a full house!
My journey to the pastorate
position was unusual. I served
the church as music director,
youth leader, and as the adult
Sunday school teacher before
God called me into the preaching
ministry.
We have a great church at
CFM! We have good music, a
full range of small groups and
classes for Sunday morning
coordinated by Assistant Pastor,
Rodney Johnson and his wife
Bunny. We also have a large
energetic youth program on
Wednesday night directed by
Youth Pastor Jesse Cole and his
wife Cinthia.
I love Spring! It always brings
the hope of new life! That’s the
beauty of Easter for Christians.
We are always reminded of the
risen Christ. The message of
the great song, “I Know My
Redeemer Lives” says it clearly.
Our Redeemer, Jesus Christ,
redeemed us or, paid the price
to rescue us at Calvary. His
forgiveness is a done deal--finished!
However the trio of Crosses
reminds us that we must
complete that work by our
acceptance. Christ’s cross was
flanked by two crosses. Why just
two? Because that symbolizes
one of God’s greatest gifts to
mankind---the gift of choice.
The men on the other crosses
had much in common. Both
convicted, both condemned
to death and both confronted
by the Cross of Redemption.
Each one had a choice. The
same choice is available to
mankind today. Those choices
are repentance or rejection. One
criminal chose rejection. The
other chose repentance. That
one good decision of repentance
and acceptance wiped out all
the other bad decisions he had
made in his life. Yes, he was still
on the cross; still died for his
misdeeds, but he was assured of
eternal life through the power of
the Redeemer, Jesus Christ.
This choice is still available
for all today! That’s why we
celebrate Easter! I challenge
you to make a choice.
Attend services somewhere
this Easter Sunday! For more

Missouri Dairy Bill Heads to
Governor's Desk
The Missouri Senate, in a
strong bipartisan vote of 31-2
passed the Missouri Dairy Revitalization Act of 2015 (HB 259).
The bill now goes to Governor
Jay Nixon for final approval.
HB 259, sponsored by Representative Bill Reiboldt (R-160),
already cleared the Missouri
House of Representatives by a
vote of 110-49 on February 4.
“We urge Governor Nixon to
sign the legislation without delay,” says Lloyd Gunter, Missouri Dairy Association (MDA)
president and a dairy farmer
from Conway.
"We appreciate and thank our
elected leaders for approving
HB 259 that will help curb the
decline in Missouri dairies and
provide opportunities for young
www.cranefamilydentistry.com
people," says Gunter.
Missouri would be the first
state to pass landmark dairy legislation that enhances the dairy
title provisions of the federal
Farm Bill. HB259 requires the
Missouri Department of Agriculture to establish a dairy producer insurance premium assistance program for producers
who participate in the federal
margin protection program for
dairy producers. Participating
producers shall be reimbursed
for 70% of their federal premium payment. The program
would be administered by the
Missouri Agriculture and Small
Business Development Authority (MASBDA).
Furthermore, HB259 establishes the Missouri Dairy Scholars Program. This program
makes available 80 scholarships
at $5,000 each toward tuition at
any college or university in Missouri for students in agriculturerelated degree programs that
make a commitment to work in
the agriculture industry.
Additionally, under this act,
the University of Missouri's
Commercial Agriculture program shall conduct an annual
study of the dairy industry and
develop a plan for how to grow
the dairy industry in Missouri.
“Concern for job stability and
economic activity in Missouri
were the driving forces for support of these dairy provisions,”
says Gunter.
“With the loss of dairy farms
continuing in Missouri at an
alarming rate due to drought
and poor margins, the pressure
of finding local milk for our
15 dairy processing plants has
reached a critical stage.
“A University of Missouri
study showed in 2011 that Missouri’s dairy product manufacturing industries directly employed 5,515 workers with a
total state payroll of $258 million. Missouri's dairy manufacturing plants produced an
estimated $4.4 billion worth of
dairy products.
“Missouri’s dairy product
manufacturing industry revenues translated into statewide
total economic output worth
$7.7 billion. When you include
the jobs, created at the farm level and with additional suppliers,
a total of 23,297 jobs were supported providing $1.2 billion in
labor income to Missourians in

Reforming Missouri’s
Broken Welfare System
It’s been more than 50 years
since President Lyndon Johnson declared the War on Poverty
and there’s no getting around it
- our welfare system is failing.
Since 1964, we have spent $22
trillion dollars and created 126
different federal welfare programs. Unfortunately, it seems
the response has almost invariably been to throw more money
at the problem or create a new
program with no expectation
of whether it will work or has
worked. I believe the problem is
the welfare system itself.
Most of us believe our welfare programs were created
to help our fellow citizens get
through a difficult time in their
life. We are there to pick up
our neighbors when they fall.
We’ve always intended it to be
a hand up – not a hand out. With
that, we believe hard work and
determination will lead to a better life. That is the American
Way and the Missouri Way and
our people deserve nothing less.
The answer is clear and simple; work is the ticket out of
poverty and the path to success
and our welfare policies should
reflect this common-sense approach. Our system is failing in
this goal. One of the reasons we
are failing is the sheer number
of welfare programs - the federal government currently funds
126 different programs – and the
generosity of those programs is
a disincentive to work. A recent
study found that in Missouri, a
typical family receiving welfare benefits could receive as
much $26,837 a year which is
a $10.96-an-hour job. This exceeds today’s minimum wage
and even the minimum wage
proposed by President Obama.
On top of this, a recent report
issued by the Heartland Institute
places Missouri dead last in the
nation for welfare reform policies and Missouri has the worst
work participation rate in the
country. Under federal law, welfare recipients are supposed to
work an average of 30 hours a
week in a “work activity” which
a broad definition that includes
job training, vocational education, and even community service. However, only about 15
percent of our recipients are
meeting the work requirement
and we are not holding them accountable.
This is a problem and my
solution is Senate Bill 24 – a
comprehensive reform of our
welfare system that emphasizes
work while breaking down barriers to self-sufficiency. Right
now, Missouri allows two years
to go by before requiring our
welfare population to work.
The first thing my bill would do
is require a recipient to engage
in one of those work activities
before even receiving welfare
benefits. My bill also lowers the
lifetime eligibility limit for the
program. Missouri currently allows the maximum eligibility
limit of five years on welfare
while 12 other states limit lifetime eligibility to four years or
less with our neighbors, Arkansas and Indiana, limiting benefits to two years.
Senate Bill 24 creates strict
sanctions for recipients not
complying with work requirements. Currently, Missouri only
removes part of the benefit a
welfare recipient gets until compliance with the work requirement occurs. Under my bill,
those on welfare would have
a limited amount of time to
comply with the work requirement before a complete loss of
benefits is imposed. More than
half of the states have a similar
policy and it is been an effective
tool in getting people back to
work. The bill will also create a
cash diversion program that will
act as a cash grant for short-term
needs designed to keep potential
welfare recipients, particularly
those considered “job ready,”
from ever entering the system.
As President Reagan said,
“We should measure welfare's
success by how many people
leave welfare, not by how many
are added.” Senate Bill 24 is an
effort to put this idea in practice.
The bill has been voted out of
the Senate and was approved by
the House just this week. The
last step in the process is to work
out the differences between the
Senate and House versions and
to send it to the governor for his
signature.
As always, I welcome your
ideas, questions and concerns
about Missouri government.

Jennifer Hancock, 4-H Educator
for Christian County
SPRINGFIELD, Mo. — This
profile of a University of Missouri Extension specialist is part
of an on-going series designed
to inform area media and the
public about the wide range of
program expertise that exists
among extension specialists in
southwest Missouri.
Name/title: Jennifer Hancock,
4-H educator
Headquartered:
Christian
County
Education Background: Born
and raised in Nevada, Mo.,
Jennifer attended the University of Missouri in Columbia for
three years studying psychology, American Sign Language
and agriculture journalism. She
earned an Associate's Degree
in Social Work from Crowder
College (2011) and a Bachelor's
in Social Work from Pittsburg
State University (2013).
Relevant experience: Hancock
is a third generation 4-H member. Her grandfather, George
Graham, was a county agent
for MU Extension in Vernon
County and later became an area
dairy specialist retiring after 33
years in 1985. "I have 21 years
of 4-H under my belt. I can still
remember getting in front of my
4-H club at seven years old giving a demonstration. Through
my years as a member of Ellis
4-H and Leadership 4-H I participated in a wide variety of
projects," said Hancock.
Job Responsibilities: As the
4-H youth educator in Christian
County, her main duty is to educate the community about 4-H
and all it offers. She will attend
club meetings, conferences and
trainings to provide positive
feedback and new ideas to increase our enrollment numbers
in 4-H clubs and activities. "I
am extremely passionate about
4-H. I do not think I would be
where I am today without 4-H in
my life," said Hancock.
What are some goals you have
for the coming year? "My goal
in this first year is to get to know
my youth and volunteers. Then I
will be able to assess more specific goals.," said Hancock. "I do
know that I would like to see a
diverse collection of project enrollment. One of my first goals
is to communicate with parents
and leaders in the community to
explain that 4-H is not just about
agriculture anymore. My ultimate goal for Christian County's
4-H program is to increase our
Check the Faith and
Worship Page
for special
Easter Services
at Local churches
Easter Sunday is
April 5
enrollment (currently 131 youth
enrolled). Christian County has
great potential to increase this
number."
Is there a group you are targeting for your services? "I will
be targeting parents and leaders
in the community to spread the
word about 4-H. I believe once I
explain the lifelong benefits and
skills 4-H has to offer, parents
will be interested in learning
more and joining 4-H long term.
I have plans to attend Elks Club
meetings, Rotary Club meetings, VFW club meetings, PTO
meetings, Chamber of Commerce meetings, women's club
meetings, and schools," said
Hancock.
Where are residents of southwest Missouri most likely to
see you? "I can be spotted at
the Starbucks on Sunshine in
Springfield," said Hancock.
"Right now my weekends are
filling up with conferences,
camps, and 4-H club meetings.
I am a part of the fair board so
you'll see me at the fair. We
have 4-H camps for two weeks
in June."

can contact me at the Christian
County Extension office located

New Hope Church
There are a couple of big events coming up in the next couple of weeks that you are invited to join.
Coming up this Sunday morning the Rain Impact Team
from Evangel University will be presenting music, drama and
activities for kids at New Hope Church on Main Street. This
team of 25 college students will draw you into a wonderful
experience and time that you won’t want to miss, including
some fun especially for the kids, but also things just for the
adults. This is especially a great opportunity if you have anyone in high school in the family for them to get a look at some
of the possibilities that Evangel offers and a chance to meet
some of the students and talk to them afterwards. Everything
starts at 10:30 at the church on Main St, just down from the
Post Office and next to the Newspaper Office.
Also on Sunday, March 29 the Charged Kid’s Ministries will
be having a very special time of fun, games, puppets, competitions and music for kids of all ages (yes, that means those
“kids” that others might call adults.) This is the same group
that shaved Pastor George’s head last December. They’ve
been keeping a lot of what they have planned a secret, but it’s
going to be a lot of fun for everyone, and you are invited to
come join in. Bring the family and friends and be ready for
an exciting time that you won’t want to miss. It will be at
10:30am on Sunday, March 29.
If you have any questions or would like more information,
please call Pastor George and New Hope Church at (417) 7231055. We would love to see you there.

Mt. Olive Church Newsletter
What a beautiful time of year
this is. The calendar says it's
spring, and I'm determined to
believe the calendar. No more
snow, and no more cold!
We had a wonderful service at
Mt. Olive yesterday. We had a
really good crowd, even though
some of our regulars weren't
with us. Pastor Jeff's message
was very good, and what made
things even better was the fact
that one of our granddaughters
was visiting with us.
Then add to that, our food pantry had a fantastic blessing with
cases of food from the Aurora
UMC. I know that they received
as much of a blessing from their
gift as we did. When God's peo-
ple work together we can really
do some great things, and with
the help of Aurora UMC and
Billings UMC we really feed a
lot of people who are in need.
Thanks be to God!!!
The Lenten services are about
to come to an end, and they have
really been good. The weather
caused us to have to cancel two
of them, but the rest have been
very uplifting as they are leading us to the great day of His
Resurrection.
In closing, Remember-----don't
make old people mad. We don't
like being old in the first place,
so it doesn't take much to tick us
off.

Critter Of The Week
For March 26: Cooper’s Hawk
Species: Cooper’s hawk
Scientific name: Accipiter
cooperii
Nicknames: Chicken hawk,
blue darter
Claim to fame: Much of
the enmity that has existed for
generations between poultry
farmers and all species of
hawks can be traced to the
feeding habits of the Cooper’s
hawk. All types of hawks are
opportunistic predators that will
take what’s available, including
small or weak poultry, but few
focus their hunting on birds as
much as Cooper’s hawks do.
Birds make up 70 percent to 85
percent of a Cooper’s hawk’s
diet. In pioneer days when many
farms had chickens that roamed
freely, pullets (young chickens)
were sometimes nabbed by
these effective hunters. As is
sometimes the case with wildlife
species purported to be nemeses;
the extent of this hawk’s poultry
predation was often over-stated.
The majority of this raptor’s
diet consists of medium-sized
to small songbirds. By preying
on nuisance birds like starlings
and house sparrows, Cooper’s
hawks’ hunting habits can also
be beneficial to humans.
Species status: Although
Cooper’s hawks have habitat
preferences; they can be seen
across much of the state.
First discovered: Cooper’s
hawks were known to Native
Americans and early settlers.
Because of their reputations as
poultry predators, they were
often shot by farmers in past
times. (It is now illegal to
shoot hawks.) Hawk shooting,
coupled with problems caused
by pesticides such as DDT and
a loss of forest habitat, caused
a decline in the number of
Cooper’s hawks in many parts of
the country, including Missouri.
However, numbers in this region
appear to be increasing.
Family matters: Cooper’s
hawks belong to the bird family
Accipitridae, which consists of
diurnal birds of prey such as
hawks, eagles and kites. Within
this classification, Cooper’s
hawks belong to the sub-family
Accipitrinae, a group commonly
referred to as the “bird hawks.”
These hawks are thus named
because much of their diet
consists of birds.
Length: 14 to 20 inches long
Weight: not available
Diet: Medium-sized birds
such as starlings, robins,
blackbirds and meadowlarks are
common food items. Because
it’s primarily a forest bird,
squirrels and chipmunks are also
nabbed on occasion. They have
been known to hunt rodents in
open fields as well. In addition
to being adept at chasing
prey through forested habitat,
Cooper’s hawks can also catch
prey in mid-air.
D i s t i n g u i s h i n g
characteristics:
Cooper’s
hawks have dark, blackish
crowns that stand apart from
lighter-colored necks. The back
is bluish-gray and the long tail
is crossed by several dark bands.
Like most raptors, a Cooper’s
hawk’s eyes are set forward,
giving it good depth perception
for hunting and catching prey.
Its hooked bill is well adapted to
tearing flesh. Its voice is a loud
“cack-cack-cack.”
Life span: One study showed
Cooper’s hawks could live up to
seven years.
Habitat: Cooper’s hawks
are associated with deciduous
and mixed forests and open
woodland habitats such as
woodlots, riparian woodlands
and other areas where timber
occurs in patches.
Life cycle: In Missouri,
Cooper’s hawks begin nesting
in mid-April. The preferred
nesting habitat is a mixed
deciduous-coniferous
forest
with interspersed open areas.
Nests usually are built near
natural or man-made clearings
and near water sources such as
a creek or lake. A clutch of four
to six eggs is laid and incubated
by the female in 35 or 36 days.
Young fledge from the nest in 30
to 35 days.
Exotic Plants
By Francis Skalicky
Missouri Department of
Conservation
In terms of wildlife habitat,
introducing exotic plants into an
area is sometimes the equivalent
of throwing a wrench into the
cogs of a machine: In some
cases, the machine continues to
operate, but at a much-reduced
efficiency. In other cases, the
machine shuts down completely.
That’s one of several
reasons why it can be good to
incorporate native plants into
your landscaping and vegetative
management strategies. But
before we get to the benefits
of native species, here’s more
about exotic plants.
Exotic – also called “invasive”
– plant species are nothing new.
Numerous plants have been
introduced to North America in
the 500-plus years the continent
has been explored, settled
and developed. Some were
introduced on purpose, others
by accident. These introduced
species are collectively known
as “exotic” species because
they’re not indigenous to North
America. The opposite of exotic
is “native.” Native species
are plants that were originally
growing on our landscape.
Some exotic plants such as
kudzu and fescue are wellknown to people, but there
are many others. Some have
become so common that we
don’t realize they’re not from
around here. Take, for instance,
the two most common types of
crabgrass found in Midwestern
yards (and the types you’re
probably trying to get rid of
in yours) – hairy crabgrass
(Digitaria sanguinalis) and
smooth crabgrass (Digitaria
ischaemum). Neither is native
to North America; they were
introduced here, probably in
the 19th century. And those
dandelions that pop up each
spring to the annoyance of
many yard-lovers? They’re
also from Europe and Asia and
were established here, primarily
through intentional plantings by
early European settlers.
Though the exotic species
that have come here are varied,
the reasons they’ve become
abundant are similar: Exotic
species were introduced into
areas that had none of the natural
controls (browsing animals,
predators, harsher weather, etc.)
that kept them in line in their
native lands and, as a result,
these newcomers flourished.
This abundance has often come
at the expense of native plants
that formed the foundation of
our habitats.
Wise conservation practices
utilizing native species pay by
enriching our economy and
quality of life. Conversely,
exotic invasions can have
negative repercussions. From
an agricultural production
standpoint, when exotic plants
such as musk thistle, spotted
knapweed or Johnson grass take
over pastures and fields, they
can turn what had been moneymaking acres into financially
unproductive tracts of land.
In urban areas, when exotic
species invade an area and
crowd out native plants, habitats
often change for the worse:
The insects that were attracted
to native flowers go elsewhere,
the native birds can’t find food
sources and, in some instances,
sites to nest and raise young
because the vegetation the
animals have come to rely upon
either isn’t there anymore or has
a greatly reduced presence at the
area and, thus, can only provide
minimal habitat benefits. This
may not sound like a big deal,
but it can have significant
impacts on butterfly, songbird
and other wildlife populations.
These changes can eventually
have economic and aesthetic
impacts for humans, too.
Individuals can learn more
about the important role native
plants play in urban habitats at
two programs Saturday (March
28) at the Missouri Department
of Conservation’s Springfield
Conservation Nature Center.
The programs will be presented
by author and wildlife ecology
professor
Doug
Tallamy.
“Bringing Nature to Your
Home” will be from 10 a.m.11 a.m. and “Creating Living
Landscapes will be from 1 p.m.
to 2 p.m. To register for these
programs, call the Nature Center
at 417-888-4237.
Homeowners can also learn
about native plants at the Native
Plant Sale and Workshops
that will be from 9 a.m. to 3
p.m. on April 4 at the Missouri
Department of Conservation’s
Springfield
Conservation
Nature Center. In addition to
featuring a number of regional
businesses that will be selling
native plants, this event will also
feature several guest speakers
that will discuss the benefits
of incorporating native plants
into landscaping strategies. The
Springfield Conservation Nature
Center is located in southeast
Springfield at 4601 S. Nature
Center Way.

Dalton Shooting
Range To
Undergo
Maintenance
Maintenance on the baffle
system of the rifle range at
the Missouri Department of
Conservation’s Andy Dalton
Shooting Range and Outdoor
Education Center will cause
some temporary scheduling
changes at the facility.
The rifle range portion of the
facility will be closed April 13,
April 16, April 20, and April
23. The rifle range will be open
for limited use April 17-19. The
shotgun and archery areas of
the Dalton Range will not be
affected by this maintenance
and will remain open to the
public during normal business
hours.
For information about these
temporary changes or to learn
about programs at the Dalton
Range, call 417-742-4361 or
e-mail
daltonrange@mdc.
mo.gov. The Dalton Range is
located near Ash Grove at 4897
N. Greene County Farm Road
61.
Dairy Bill
cont. from pg. 2
2011.
“Missouri’s gross domestic
product (GDP) was $2.0 billion
larger due to the value added by
Missouri’s dairy product
manufacturing industries,” says
Gunter.
“Our industry means a lot to
Missouri and to our consumers.
But it all starts at the farm with
the dairy farmer and his/her
cows furnishing the local milk
supply,” concludes Gunter.
Missouri’s agriculture groups
were united in their support of
HB259 with many testifying at
various hearings including the
Missouri Dairy Products Association, Dairy Farmers of America, Missouri Farm Bureau,
Missouri Cattlemen’s Association, Missouri Corn Growers
Association, Missouri Soybean
Association, MO-AG, MFA Inc.
along with students from the
University of Missouri.
