Early Morning Search Finds Alzheimer’s Patient Cold and Dehydrated
An emergency call came into 911 services at 3 am. The husband of a 79 year old Alzheimer’s patient said that he awoke around 3 am and discovered that his wife was missing from her bed. Search crews were dispatched just after the call for a search and rescue incident. The 79 year old Alzheimer’s patient had wondered from her Shell Knob home in the cold early morning rain. She was located nearly two hours later and had traveled about two miles on foot in and around highway YY. She had suffered dehydration and waiting for help. The family wants to send thanks to all CCFPD members, Barry County Sheriff’s Office, Stone County Sheriff’s Office, Barry & Stone County 911, Cox Ambulance and Big Creek Resort. Thanks to all involved, she is home & well. Names have not been released at this time.

Lion’s Club Recognizes Volunteers
Monday night, the Shell Knob Lion’s Club dinner meeting recognized the efforts of a group of volunteers that worked on the Community Building renovation. Over 80 volunteer hours were spent in applying new sheetrock and painting the interior of the 40 year old building. The new look makes the building appear modern, cleaner and brighter. According to Ed Banks, a member of both the Shell Knob Lion’s Club and the Shell Knob Community Building Board, “The investment of fundraised dollars and these volunteers will pay off in more rentals of this fine building. We will be able to send the message that Shell Knob has a community building that belongs to everyone as it was a community wide effort.” Lion’s Club President Paula Andersen said, “Thanks to fundraising efforts by the Community Building Board and our Shell Knob businesses, Meeks, Country Fresh Market and individuals we have stayed in our planned budget and the outcome is amazing. As a member of both boards I want to thank everyone concerned”.
Leigh Wallace, Local Artist is Offering Beginning Drawing Classes
Exploring and finding something different to challenge our sensibilities can be good for the spirit. CASK (Creative Arts of Shell Knob) is sponsoring an opportunity for people who are interested in learning how to draw to attend classes at their gallery located in Bridgeway Plaza, next to Jim’s Satellite in Shell Knob. Leigh Wallace is a local studio artist living in the Shell Knob area and currently teaching at Missouri State University. She has offered to teach these classes for the next few months. Beginning Drawing Classes will be offered on the 2nd and 4th Sundays beginning February 12 at 1 to 4 pm. Interested students will be able to attend some or all the sessions and she welcomes all levels of skills. Some of Leigh’s art work is now displayed in the CASK gallery. Leigh Wallace has been teaching art for over 20 years and enjoys sharing her skills with others. Her focus for these classes will be on the basics of how to draw objects from life. Theory and hand skills will be included. These will be casual lessons with individual attention given to all students. Fees for the class will be $10.00 per class payable at class time and basic supplies will be available for an additional $5.00 per class. However the basic materials used will be a sketch or sketchbook (14 x 17 is a good size), Charcoal or graphite pencils or other dry drawing media and quality erasers. Winter time can be tedious and a class like this is something that can infuse a different way of looking at life if one can take the challenge. CASK events coordinator is Jo Daniels and for additional information call 417-858-0423
Creative Arts of Shell Knob Receives Donation from the VFW Ladies Auxiliary

The Creative Arts of Shell Knob Gallery recently received a donation from the local VFW organization. It was presented by Mary Singleton, treasurer of the Ladies Auxiliary group of the Shell Knob VFW. Judy Wade, local artist created Christmas window panels for the VFW building as a part of their annual Christmas program. In lieu of being paid for her materials and time, Judy elected to have the VFW donate the honorarium to the new CASK group in support of the gallery located on Bridgeway Plaza in the basement of Jim’s Satellite. Judy Wade said, “ The Shell Knob community is so generous in helping us serve our veterans, we in turn give back to our residents in many ways. The art gallery will be a meeting place for years to come. It’s amazing how many talented people live in our area. Now they do not have to travel out of Shell Knob to find an outlet. CASK now has a full membership in the Shell Knob Chamber of Commerce with the help of a generous donor. Soon the gallery plans it’s own web-site; without public donations it is hard to accomplish all that needs to be done. The gallery now offers art workshops, guitar lessons, and a meeting place for local authors.”
The growth of this group has been amazing and through the coming months look for announcements of classes in pastels, drawing, calligraphy and in April a watercolor workshop.
