GIRLS CONTINUE TO WIN
Leeton Girls 51 - Lamonte 35
The Leeton Lady Bulldogs took on Lamonte who had given the Leeton
girls a little trouble in the recent Mid-State Tournament. The local girls ended up winning by over 20 points but turned over the
ball 20 times in that tournament game. Leeton was determined to do a better job Tuesday night in the local gymnasium. The girls
only turned the ball over five times for a vast improvement.
McKenzie Lowry scored 16 to lead in that department and pulled down 4 rebounds, stole the ball once and
had 2 assists. Mallory Early led in rebounding with 9 and also tossed in 12 points. Close behind was Casey McNeel who continues to
dominate the floor. She scored ten points, had 3 rebounds, 6 steals, 6 deflections and 7 assists. Megan Uptegrove scored 7, had 3
rebounds, 3 steals, 2 deflections and 4 assists. Rounding out the scoring were Shelby Bruce and Jessica Jewell with 2 points each.
Shelby had 1 rebound and Jessica 4.
The team will take on Wellington on Thursday night in a non-conference match up. Wellington is usually a
very good team so the Lady Bulldogs will be tested once again. Good luck girls.
BOYS ARE BACK ON TRACK
Leeton Boys 59 - Lamonte 28
The Leeton High School Boys' Basketball team took on the Lamonte Vikings
Tuesday night in the local gymnasium. The Bulldogs were primed and ready for the matchup pushing the opponents to the edge with 23 steals.
Alex Anstine was high scorer with 20 points. Derick Stoneking had six assists and four steals to add to the attack. All players
for Leeton saw playing time in the game. The next game will be at Wellington-Napoleon on Thursday night.

NEW ITEMS AT THE MUSEUM
1920's Movie Camera and Projector
by Shirley Lowry
Projector Circle Dispenser Filled With Slides
by Lee & Al Carton
Photos of Clyde Shepherd in Uniform
by Betty Lynn Ward
1930's Camera, 1950's Poloraid Camera and
Elephant Bubble Machine by Unknown Donor
A number of items were donated to the museum this week by one who chose
to remain secret. They included an elephant bubble machine, a 1930's Camera, and a 1950's Poloraid Camera as shown below.
Shirley Lowry donated a movie camera and projector she and her family
had used during the 1950's. It had been owned by someone else earlier and used during the 1920's thru 1950's before they got it.
They had transferred the movies to video so decided to donate it to the museum.
Lee and Al Carton who live north of the Christian Church donated another
circle dispenser for a slide projector that would have been used in the 1950's and 1960's. It is full of slides of a wide
variety of beautiful locations throughout the United States.
Betty Lynn (Shepherd) Ward donated pictures of her father Clyde
Shepherd as he appeared during World War II. We are needing all sorts of memorabilia and pictures in uniform of those who served
during World War II for the display that will be taken to England at Easter with the All-State Show Me Drama & Music Team. The
information and pictures will also be included in a book about Leeton's involvement in the war to be released in March. Please
help in the gathering of materials. Items will be photographed and returned to those providing the information on memorabilia.
RENEWAL TIME AT MUSEUM
A vital part of the museum's income is the Mineral Creek Historical Society's
memberships. October is membership renewal month and if you have not sent $10 for your membership please do so. Send to Barbra Combs,
Leeton Museum, 400 N. Main, Leeton, Missouri 64761. Membership Campaign Chairman Betty Lynn (Shepherd) Ward has been notifying many
of you by email or post office. This effort once again has resulted in many of you sending money for another year of membership.
If you have not sent your check please do so soon.
The museum is now going into winter hours. That means that if you are planning to tour the museum please
contact Bob Wyatt (660-238-6156) to make arrangements. For those of you needing a tax deduction the museum is still hoping to get
the heating/cooling system replaced as well as the building rewired. Please consider a contribution to this effort. The society
cannot afford the $700 gas bills per month that occurred last year. Please help us so the museum can be open all year long.
WYATT'S BOOKS SOLD OUT
More Ordered - Please Be Patient
Authors Recommend Books
Recently Bob Wyatt was signing books at the same function that
Robert Thornhill was signing for his latest book, "Lady Justice Take a C.R.A.P. (City Retiree Action Patrol)." The two
authors exchanged books when preparing to leave and expressed that they hoped they would meet again at another
location. Thornhill and his wife reported:
"We just finished reading your book, 'The Spirited Festival.' We found your book light hearted and
easy to read. Having served in lots of committees, church, school and business related, we could understand
what your characters were going through. We liked how you developed your characters and kept a flow throughout
the book. We kept wanting to read to the end to find the mystery. Your story was well created. Your
characters were believable and likeable.
"Although my book is quite different in nature, we hope you have had time to finish reading it. I am
also writing a blog on the Tears and Triumphs of an Author. I have several chapters and still writing. One thing
I might mention...though we are much newer at this...there was no place in the back of the book that directed
the reader to a place where they could order the additional books in the series. Most likey it is available through
the publisher. I didn't check, but the average reader doesn't think about that.
"Hopefully we will see you at another festival. We wish you well. It must be wonderful to have that many
books already published and more to come. Very rewarding. If we see each other again, we hope to have more time to visit.
Sincerely, Peg & Bob Thornhill, Osceola, Missouri
Central Christian College of the Bible has a display of Bob Wyatt's books in their college bookstore in
Moberly and he has been invited to be the first author ever to sign books at the store. He will be there during alumni week
in March.
Carlos Michael Padilla, author and former actor during the 1970's and 1980's, who lives in Tulsa, Oklahoma,
contacted Bob and informed him that his staff had questioned why he didn't write books that read that easily. He congratulated
Bob on the book and looked forward to reading future volumes. They will be working on a project together later in December.
If you don't have a copy contact Bob at 403 N. Main, Leeton, Missouri 64761 and order either
"The Spirited Festival" or "Christmas in Sassafras Springs." They should be here before the Christmas holidays. If you would
like to reserve a copy contact Bob right away. "The Watch Dog Is Mad" will be released sometime in January. Advance orders
will be taken for it as well. Price is $14.99 per copy.

LHS ALUMNIST OF THE MONTH
LEOTA KIDWELL
Honored Teacher
Leota Kidwell spent her earlier years on a farm near Leeton and attended
Leeton High School graduating in 1929. She went to Central Missouri State Teachers College on a scholarship and because of her

LADY BULLDOGS FLEX MUSCLE IN
CHAMPIONSHIP GAME
Leeton 52 Kingsville 24
The Leeton Lady Bulldogs proved they were the best in Mid-State Conference
as they blew away Kingsville in the final. Led by McKenzie Lowry's 20 and Mallory Early's 18 the team sailed to an easy victory over
a very good team. Just how good are these girls? Only time will tell. Others scoring included Megan Uptegrove and Jessica Jewell with
7 each. Casey McNeel once again dominated play on the floor with 4 assists, 5 steals, 4 deflections and 4 rebounds.
Leading rebounder was Mallory Early with 12. She also had one assist. Megan Uptegrove had 4 rebounds,
1 steal, 7 deflections and 2 assists. McKenzie Lowry had 4 rebounds, 1 steal, 3 deflections and 3 assists. Jessica Jewell had 3
rebounds, 1 steal and 2 assists. Shelby Bruce had 5 rebounds and 1 steal.
The game looked serious as Mallory Early got her 4th foul early in the 3rd quarter and Casey McNeel got
her 3rd immediately afterwards. Midway thru the quarter McKenzie Lowry got her 3rd and Megan Uptegrove her 3rd. Fouls were
not only called on Leeton though as three players for Kingsville fouled out in the final quarter. It didn't really matter
as Leeton had the game pretty well in hand by halftime with a lead of 26-10 and expanded to 36-18 in the 3rd quarter. Final
score was 52-24.
In other action in the girls' division the consolation game saw Chilhowee Lady Indians win over Heartland
Academy of Belton winning 58-45. In the 3rd place game KC Lutheran won 58-31 over Lamonte.
Congatulations to the Leeton girls on their fine victory. The closest any team came was 21 points
by Lamonte in the semi-final game. The next game for Leeton's girls is Lamonte here in the local gymnasium starting at 5:30 on Tuesday,
December 15.
BOYS COME CLOSE
BUT TIGERS PREVAIL IN CLOSE ONE
Kingsville 61 Leeton 56
Leeton's Bulldogs jumped to a quick 8 point lead in the first
quarter but Kingsville like they did against KC Lutheran Thursday night battled back to take the lead by one at the end
of the first quarter. In the second they pushed to a 7 point lead before Leeton came battling back and tied them with
50 seconds left. The lead continued to change throughout the game a total of 14 times before the end of the 3rd quarter.
In the 3rd quarter Leeton battled to a 5 point lead before Kingsville buckled down, stole the ball several times and
Leeton's 3 point shooters turned cold. The lead for Kingsville suddenly reached 11 points at the end of the 3rd quarter.
In the 4th Leeton did not give up and came back to within 2 points three times but couldn't
get any closer as Kingsville made their free throws in the closing part of the game to keep their lead and extend it
to the final score of 61-56.
Alex Anstine dominated scoring with 22 points as he provided a pretty good inside game. Cameron
Elwell scored 10, Derek Stoneking 9, Matt Thompson 8, Mack Phillips 5 and Tony Colburn 2.
The Bulldogs are to be congratulated on their fine performance as well. Remember there is only
one senior on this team. These players will continue to mature and improve as the year goes on and be around for another
year. Kingsville's Tiger team is made up of seniors who have played together for four years. Makes a difference but the
Bulldogs will be ready next time to get their revenge with a win. Good luck boys and congratulations on 2nd place. That is
still a great achievement.

THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK
"THE WAY GOD MEASURES"
"Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of
heaven" Matthew 7:21.
> It was a new foreign car a friend of mine was driving. The owner's manual said to take it easy at first, but
the young man was certain the car was not running right---too slow and sluggish he was sure. On the interstate highway he pushed the
car to go over 65. No sooner had he done so than a patrolman pulled him over. The officer ticketed him for driving under the 45 mph
minimum for the interestate highways. It was then that he found that his new car measured speed in kilometer's rather than miles.
His 65 mph was only 40 mph.
"Lord, I went to church every Sunday. Even sang in the choir. What do you mean I can't enter heaven?"
"But, Lord, I gave a tithe; I gave gifts to the poor at Thanksgiving and even wrote letters to a missionary.
And, Lord, I live by the Golden Rule."
What a shock on Judgment Day when many of us discover that God's standard of measurement is not our own!
God may measure success quite differently than we, but His is the measurement that counts. Are we willing to make the necessary
adjustments to measure up to His Standard?
Our Father in heaven, we thank you for Your Word which shows us Your plan and the standard for life.
We seek your help in living as You would have us live. Amen.
