November 19, 2013 Child Safe is a local organization that's a lot like a fire extinguisher: you hope you never need it, but you're thankful it's there. They help our local kids who are going through some terrible times. Child Safe needs our help to keep that going.
November 15, 2013 Here's a look at some of the local events going on in our area this weekend.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Tammy Dickinson, United States Attorney for the Western District of Missouri, announced today that 37 defendants – including 23 Sedalia, Mo., residents and eight Johnson County, Mo., residents – have been indicted in six separate but related cases for their roles in drug-trafficking conspiracies that distributed more than $1 million worth of cocaine and crack cocaine, as well as illegally possessing firearms.
November 14, 2013 As you all are surely aware by now, the people here in Sedalia are a very helpful, caring, and charitable lot. That always shows itself really well during the holiday season. One way that people like to help is with the Salvation Army.
November 13, 2013 Thanksgiving is a holiday steeped in tradition. It's one of those days where I think most people have the same idea of what's expected and what they'll be doing. Usually it isn't a surprise what you're going to be doing, and who you'll be spending it with. So I thought I'd ask you guys what those plans are.
November 13, 2013 Often when we think of our local libraries, we focus on the young kids. And that's great, don't get me wrong. Starting our kids out young to explore everything that reading has to offer is amazing. But sometimes we forget that the libraries are for the older kids and adults, too!
SEDALIA (Tony Gallagher, 40 & 8 Commander) - Veteran's Day 2013! What a great day from start to finish! The S-C JROTC served a delicious breakfast to all veterans and their families at the high school. This was followed by a great program in the gymnasium with honors paid to all the veterans. I very much appreciated being asked to be the main speaker and was humbled.
November 12, 2013 As many of you may know, a tragic event recently took place in our area when Tipton football player Chad Stover was severely injured during a high school football game. Chad passed away last Thursday morning (Nov. 14) as a result of his injury. Table of 5 Catering is showing support for his family by holding a Wood Fired Pizza Fundraiser to benefit Chad and his family.
November 12, 2013 Winter is coming, like it or not. You're probably getting your car ready, you're getting the shovel out of the garage and getting out your winter clothes. While you're doing that, think of maybe helping out some local kids.
November 10, 2013 What a great night of entertainment at the Liberty Center on Saturday night (Nov. 10)! Taking center stage with his band was Royal Wade Kimes. Kimes has worked with some of the biggest names in country entertainment, including Loretta Lynn and Garth Brooks (Kimes helped write, "We Bury the Hatchet" which sold 17 million copies). Other giants he has worked with include Diamond Rio, Gene Watson and several others. He at one time signed with Asylum Records, where he had a top 10 dance record as well as a top video. The "Nashville Outlaw" has two Will Rogers awards and has been named the Best Living Solo Musician and Best Album of the Year from True West Magazine and XM Satellite Radio.
