Rising, colored water in streams really turns fish on during August and September. Catching green sunfish and goggle-eye and bluegill at times like this is great fishing. And at some time, there will be a tough-to-land smallmouth. In this photo, a green sunfish, known to Ozarkians as ‘black perch’, has a couple of good filets for the camp skillet.

Lamar Democrat/Melody Metzger The Barton County Community Foundation featured Vintage Vegas on Saturday evening, April 13, at Thiebaud Auditorium in Lamar. During the festivities, Elaine Davis, left, president of Lamar Community Betterment, was awarded $1M from a private charitable fund, in order to purchase the old Redneck building at 1705 Gulf. The building will be used jointly by the newly formed Lamar YMCA and the Lamar R-1 School. Watch for more information in the April 24 edition of the Democrat. BCCF board member Nancy Curless, right, presented Davis with the check, along with a $5,000 check from the foundation.
