The boys basketball team needed new uniforms, and someone suggested to me that a pie auction would raise the $2,500 we needed to cover the cost. I thought that was crazy, but we had one, and we raised the $2,500 that was needed. People saw a need, and they stepped up and paid way too much for pies and other items, and it blew me away that a small community like Bakersfield would do something so generous. … Every time a need arises, whether it be because of a house fire, or medical bills, to help the school, or what- ever other need, the community of Bakersfield comes together to help. I am so blessed that I have had the opportunity to be a small part of the BHS community for 13 of the last 25 years. This is such a special place to be when you see the love and compassion that neighbors have for neighbors when one of them is in need. The compassion the community has is seen in our students when a need arises here at school. Students model the attitudes and giving spirits they learn from their families. Donald Trump may have coined the phrase “Make America Great Again,” but if he ever came to Bakersfield, Missouri, he would see greatness in action.

TIMES PAST Compiled by Mary Ruth Luna Sparks TECUMSEH by Linnie Ingram Folks who are lucky to have a turnip patch have some good eating now. I miss having my own turnip patch that I always had for many years. In years past, we would pull the turnips this time of year, cut off most of the tops and bury them back in an area in the garden that had good drainage. We would dig a hole and line it with tow sacks and then lay the turnips in the hole and cover them with straw and dirt. That would keep them good and crisp through the winter. Back then, turnips were a big part of people’s diets. To cook them, you them and cut them up like potatoes and boil them with ham and add some good seasoning and some butter. We enjoyed them. Until four or five years ago, I was really busy with the turnips this time of year because I had a half-acre or so in my truck patch (that’s what we called our garden). I would pull them, cut the tops off, wash them, dry them and sell them. The top price I got was around a $1 a bushel. That was a lot of work for a little money! You sure couldn’t get rich off of it. We also fed the turnips to our milk cows. I kept a hatchet out by my fence. I would chop them up (if you fed them whole to the cows they might get choked), and the cows would come running for those turnips! The golden age – I’m 95 now – has slowed down by gardening activity, much to my dismay! I still can’t believe I’m 95. In my mind, it doesn’t register that I’m The date and source of this photo of the Elijah store and post office are unknown, but it is known that George that old.

Gainesville’s dual wins over Hartville Tuesday, Oct. 17, earned Summit Conference championship titles for the both the boys and the girls junior high basketball teams.

Gainesville boys The Gainesville boys avenged their only loss of the year prior to the tournament when they defeated Hartville 55-41 in the championship game of the Summit Conference tournament hosted by Gainesville. “The boys played very well Tuesday,” said GJHS coach Matt Powell. “They’ve competed hard all year, and that game was extremely important to us.” Bryce Hambleton led the scoring with 15 points, followed by Jake Leeker with 14, Dymon Van Eperen with 12, Landry Jenkins with 8 and Mason Jennings with 6. Jake made shots from the outside early, nailing three 3’s in the first half, and Landry also hit a 3-point shot, which opened it up for Bryce inside, coach Powell said. “Mason and Dymon made good decisions with the ball all night. Dymon had some key baskets down the stretch, scoring 8 points in the fourth quarter,” he said. The Bulldogs went on to compete in the Dora Domino’s Classic junior high tournament and brought home second place, falling to first-seed Richards in the championship game. Landry Jenkins and Bryce Hambelton were named to the all-tournament team. Jake Leeker finished second in the three-point contest. The Gainesville boys team finished their season with a 14-2 record. The boys B team finished the season undefeated with a Photo by Karla Smith 9-0 record. Summit Conference champs Gainesville girls After a 44-5 victory over Fordland, led by Hannah Evans Gainesville Junior High’s Lady Bulldogs were named Summit Conference champions Tuesday, Oct. 17, when with 25 points, the Gainesville girls took on Marion County- they beat Hartville 31-29 in the overtime battle against the Lady Eagles. Members of the team are, from left, Early in the second round. Thanks to a strong defense, the Lady (front) Victoria St. Pierre, Debra Winrod, Hannah Evans, Gwendolyn Broderick, Hallee Donley; (back row) Bulldogs won 29-21. “We started off strong, outscoring MCE coach Lance West, Jenna Uchtman, Brianna Curtis, Bretlyn Kastning, Brooklyn Bushong, Sailor Anderson and 12-5 in the first quarter,” said GJHS coach Lance West. “MCE’s Jessee Latham. players are very athletic and quick. They did a great job making adjustments defensively, causing us to play faster than we wanted. That led to us taking a lot of quick shots in the second half. Our half-court defense is a big part in why we won this game. Even though we struggled at times offensively, our defense never let up, and we were fortunate to get enough stops to win the game.” Halle Donley led the scoring with 14, followed by Hannah Evans with 7, Gwendolyn Broderick with 4 and Debra Winrod and Victoria St. Pierre with 2 each. The Gainesville girls, seeded number one in the tournament, played number two seed Hartville in the championship game and won a nail-biter in overtime, 31-29. “This game was back and forth the whole time,” said West. “The biggest lead any team had at one time was 5. Both teams played hard, and the game could have gone either way. Hartville did a great job defensively, holding us to only 6 points inside the paint.” The Lady Bulldogs stayed in the game with eight 3-point shots. At the end of the first quarter, Hartville was up 10-9, but the Lady Bulldogs outscored the Eagles in the second quarter by 1, tying the game at 16-16 at halftime. “The third quarter was no different – both teams going back and forth, and again the game was tied at 23-23,” West said. The intense fourth quarter kept fans on their feet, and at the buzzer, the game was tied 28-28. In overtime the Gainesville girls were down 28-30. With under 15 seconds left on the clock, Gainesville’s Hannah Evans hit a 3-pointer from the corner to put the Lady Bulldogs up 31-30. Hartville had to go from one end of the floor to the other to score with less than 10 seconds Photo by Karla Smith left and missed a 5-footer to end the game.
