I listen to Johnny Ames, whose name has been changed in response to his request for anonymity, as he darts from one topic to another in the same random way that a grasshopper goes from point A – to - Y- to - G- covering a vast expanse of grass blades.  An hour into our conversation, he completes the thought he started fifteen topics ago.  We laugh together about how it takes three hours to have a ten-minute chat.

     Ames used to work two jobs. One of passion and art. . .

    Fourteen candidates will compete for nine openings for the Jefferson County Extension Council during an election held the third week in January.

Railroad photos and artifacts fill the foyer and living room at Gwen Lewis’s home. A four-sided lantern with a different color glass on each side, once used at rail switches, marks the way from the foyer to the living room. Lewis’s private tribute to De Soto’s railroad history reflects the public memorial not too far away.  Her family’s involvement in the railroad and the community that grew around the depot now spans three generations.  Lewis’s grandfather, Pleasant Hugh Maness, her uncles, Everett “Bad Eye” Maness and George “Tincy” Maness, and her father, Earl Lank Lewis, all worked for the railroad, and now she serves as Vice President for the De Soto Railroad Employees’ Memorial.

IMPERIAL - Members of the Windsor High School Band joined with their families and friends to raise $4,000 in a recent "Walk-a-Jog-a-Thon" that will benefit diabetic children halfway around the world in the country of Georgia.

Band Director Nate Wisdom, who was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at age 13, said he benefited in his youth from attending Camp Hickory Hill, a summer diabetic education camp near Columbia led by University of Missouri endocrinologist Dr. Ron James. In 2007, Wisdom decided to organize a fundraising effort to help a similar camp in Georgia, a former Soviet republic.
