Up to this point, McClurg and his crew had dealt mainly with avoiding steep hills and crossing small creeks. What lay ahead on the second half of his jour- ney through Ozark County was a battle with nature itself. The Little North Fork ran on a generally straight course northwest from Haskins Ford to the north- ern reaches of Ozark County at Toledo. Through eons of erosion, the stream had cut a path through some very dif- ficult terrain. The result was a constantly changing and alternating series of bluffs and bottomlands. As one traverses this waterway, the bluffs generally appear as the steep, outer wall of a bend around bottomland on the river’s opposite side. (See the topo map, page 13.) Of course, a wagon can’t deal with the bluffs, so it was necessary to cross back This Google Earth photo shows the Old Salt Road and forth from one bottom- roadbed crossing Turkey Creek at the top of the photo land to another as the water- and crossing Slick Rock at the bottom of the photo. way carved its snake-like The dirt road used to access Slick Rock today is vis- route through the country- ible at the edge of the wooded area to the right that side.

There, the road passed near what would later become the community of Dillia and then crossed to the west side of Little North Fork headed upstream toward Thornfield. It was just slightly above the ford where Barren Fork emptied into the Little North Fork from the east. According to Silas Claiborne Turnbo, James Forest built a mill about a mile north of this ford in 1837. If so, and Turnbo was remarkably accurate on most counts, that would have been the first mill in Ozark County and one of the few landmarks that was actually in place when McClurg passed by. Not far upstream from Haskins Ford, the Salt Road crossed back to the east over the Little North Fork at a point known to folks now as the “Steel Tracks.” There it started its bottomland-hop- ping trek up to the place we know today as Hammond.

School is coming. Is your child immunized? While preparing for the 2019-2020 school year, parents should make sure their child has received the vaccines required by the State of Missouri and the public school sys- tems. As in the previous year, all incoming eighth grade students need the Meningococcal Conjugate Vaccine (MCV) and a Tetanus Diphtheria Acellular Pertussis booster (Tdap). All incoming 12th graders will be required to have had two doses of MCV, unless the first dose was given to the student at 16 years of age or older. Then only one is required. Children beginning kindergarten are required to have had four or more doses of Diphtheria ,Tetanus and Acellular Pertussis (DTAP), three doses of Polio vaccine (IPV), two doses of Measles, Mumps, Rubella (MMR), three or more doses of Hepatitis B and two doses of Varicella (Chicken Pox). All students must present up-to-date proof of their vaccine history before attending public schools. This needs to include the names of all vaccines and the month, day and year they were given. To remain in school, students who are “in progress” must have an Immunization in Progress form on file. In progress means that a child has begun the vac- cine series and has an appointment for the next dose. If this appointment is not kept, the child is no longer in progress and is noncompliant. Students in all grade levels may receive immunizations up to four days before the due date. Religious, parent/guardian and medical immunization exemptions are allowed. The appropriate exemption card must be on file. Unimmunized children are subject to exclu- sion from school when outbreaks of vaccine preventable diseases occur. Contact your health care provider or the Health Department at (417)679-3334 for more information. The Ozark County Health Department is currently scheduling appointments for August 8, 2019. Parents can also call for available appointments on other days.

The community service is the result of an idea sparked in 2002-2003 by the Interagency Council with other members June St. Laurent of the community, Suter said. The food pantry was set up to help those who need help feeding themselves or their families. Working with Springfield-based Ozarks Food Harvest, the organizers first arranged for a truck to come American Family Mutual Insurance Company, S.I. and Its Operating Companies from OFH once a month. “It pulled up, and people came 6000 American Parkway, Madison, WI 53783 015410 – 10/18 ©2018 – 9685862 and walked around the truck and filled boxes from the pallets,” Suter said. Later, on Dec. 2, 2003, the food pantry moved into the basement of the health department. Suter believes June St. Laurent was one of the volunteers who worked during that first distribution from the basement, a day when the food pantry served 82 families – 194 individu- als. June’s role has always been to help with food recipi- ents’ paperwork. She remembers that working out of the OCHD basement meant volunteers had to carry in the food, case by case. In December 2009, the food pantry moved into the old Hodgson Mill processing plant on County Road 806 on Gainesville’s west side. That larger facility allowed food to be unloaded from the OFH trucks on pallets, Health Drive 3.1(5K)/Options Pregnancy Center (10K) instead of being carried in by the case.
