An entry from the Sedalia Democrat won second place, and the Columbia Daily Tribune took third. Among photographers winning honorable mention in the category was John Trotter, a former Springfiel-dian now on the staff of the Columbia Daily Tribune.

Best front page The Springfield Leader Press was judged best in the state, and The Daily News of Springfield rated an honorable mention. Th6 Columbia Misourian won second place, and the Independence Two people died from injuries suffered in car accidents Saturday, the Missouri State Highway Patrol reported. A 9-year-old boy died in a two-car collision at about 6:10 p.m. on U.S. Highway 160 three miles south of Reeds Spring Junction, troopers reported.

Roger Andrew Bass, Reeds Spring, was pronounced dead at the scene. He was a passenger in a car driven by his mother, 29-year-old Donna Faye Bass, Reeds Spring. The accident occurred when a car driven by Gary Clouse, 24, Ozark, drove too fast for the wet conditions and crossed the center line, the patrol said. Clouse's car struck Bass's vehicle from the side. Donna Bass suffered serious injuries and was in undetermined condition at St.

John's Regional Health Center in Springfield. Another son, Avery, 12, and daughter Tara, 6, also had serious injuries and were in undetermined condition. Avery was also taken to St John's. Tara Bass and Clouse, who suffered minor injuries, were taken to Skaggs Community Hospital in Bran- A 22-year-old Oklahoma man died Saturday afternoon from injuries he suffered in a one-car accident on Interstate 44 one mile west of Lebanon, the patrol said. Anthony Wilson of Jones, was killed-when he lost control of his car and it overturned on the road.

A passenger in his car, 26-year-old Tony Sanders of Jones, suffered minor injuries and was in undetermined, condition at Breech Medical Center in Lebanon. Four 15-year-old girls from Camdenton suffered moderate injuries in a one-car accident Friday night on Missouri 5 near the junction of Missouri 7, the patrol reported. The accident occurred when the driver, Lisa D. Brooks, lost control of her car on a curve, left the road and struck several trees, troopers reported. Passengers in the car were Rexanna Bed-well, Desiree Bullock and Karen Plumley.

The girls were transported to Ozarks General Hospital in Osage Beach where Bedwell and Plumley were admitted for treatment. "It wasn't possible for all seven of our detectives to handle 3.000 complaints a month," Thompson said. "We found more sexual abuse than we ever believed." Enforcement from county to county is unequal and "in a small county, law enforcement officials are very busy," Pearl said. "I think Greene County probably is more efficient on sexual abuse investigations than many rural counties," Pearl said. "We have the people with the expertise, training and background (in the Springfield Police Department and the Greene County prosecutor's office)." Many changes to protect children have occurred since 1975 when the DFS first was given authority to investigate all complaints of child abuse, said Pamela Pettit, a St.

Louis official with the state agency. "We would go to the tiomes to investigate and if we found anything, we had to leave to call the police," Pettit said. "We worked with officers, whoever showed up, and they were not trained in whether they could take a child into protective custody." Now police departments have specially trained officers and many counties send officers to the homes with division employees as soon as a complaint is received, Pettit said. Laws against offenders are more punitive and probation is not permitted for second offenses. Pearl "What we need to back this up is someone to work with these children so they are not further victimized by the legal system," Pearl said.

"A child's fear is he'il tell and his father will go to prison." within a family and a lot of guilt settles in on the child. "I can assure you there is no case that has greater emotional impact on you than this." said. "You have to work very hard to shield the child and I think absorb some yourself." O'Hara told police officers, juvenile court officials and day-care providers at the St. Louis con-, ference that he would ask the General Assembly for 167 new investigators to field complaints i. year.

Legislators reconvene in January and will face unusual pressure from all state agencies for increased funding because, for the first time in several years, the state expects to have a multimillion-dollar surplus of money. O'Kara released a proposal calling on law enforcement and juvenile officers statewide to "co-investigate" child-abuse complaints with his agency as soon as the complaints are received. That cooperative effort would allow police to remove abused children from the home immediately for their protection and would speed up prosecution without the child having to repeat details of the abuse, he said. Bob Thompson, a detective with the St. Louis County Police Department, said the department decided to take an active role four years ago and assigned all seven detectives to work with Family Sen-ices investigators as soon as a child-abuse complaint was received.

The number of complaints has increased so dramatically, however, the department now is taking only complaints of serious physical injury, Thompson said. Joplin man sought in escape from jail in Lamar Barton County law officers were searching Saturday evening for a man who escaped from the county jail in Lamar. James Albert Carpenter, 23, Joplin, was being held at the jail on charges of escape and grand larceny. Sheriffs deputies-said the S-foot-8, 175-pound Carpenter escaped at 6:02 p.m. "He escaped when he was downstairs making a phone call," said Richard Burch, Barton County deputy dispatcher.

"He went out through a kitchen door." Carpenter was last seen walking west from the jail. He was wearing a dark blue sweater, blue jeans and slippers. He has brown hair and blue eyes. The Barton County Sheriffs Department, the Lamar Police Department and its two reserve units, Jasper and Dade County sheriffs departments and the Missouri State Highway Patrol were rticipating in the search. Sheriff From Page 1B Examiner took third.

Best typography The Leader Press took first place, followed by the Columbia Missourian and the Sedalia Democrat.

Best advertising idea or promotion The Adopt-a-Pet page produced by Springfield Newspapers' classified-advertising department rated an honorable mention. Among Ozarks weeklies capturing high honors were the Bolivar Herald-Free Press, which placed in nine categories, including five first-place entries, and was cited for general excellence.

The Cedar County Republican of Stockton was saluted for general excellence. Judcr-s for this vear's contest were Cemetery From Page 1 sey. The sheriffs post, which pays $18,850 yearly, is the only contested countywide office in the November election. A total of 15,386 residents are eligible to vote. That figure is up 1,027 from the 14,359 voters eligible for the primary.

The county clerk's chief deputy, Doris Deidik-er, attributed the increase to the presidential election. McNiei was fired by Lamb in February from his job as chief deputy after McNiei entered the sheriffs race. McNiei had served as Lamb's chief deputy for three years. In his agressive campaigning and fund-raising prior to the primary, McNiei spent nearly 512,500 outspending Lamb and Savage together nearly 6-to-l. McNiei holds an associate degree in criminal justice administration from Drury College in Springfield.

Ramsey, meanwhile, describes his own campaign as a low-key, door-to-door effort. "The only role Buff Lamb has played in this campaign is that he has supported me," the 39-year-old Ramsey said. "Also, Jack Savage, a candidate in the primary, has supported me in the newspaper. He is a supporter and that's all." Ramsey's law enforcement career consists of two stints totaling six years with the Ozark Police Department, including two years as police chief, and two years with the sheriffs said it's unlikely Republicans wiS! substantially support Ramsey, who finished second in a four-man field ir, the GOP primary for sheriff in 1980. "As far as how the voters vote, I don't think it will change that much," Martens said.

VI do think it will create internal problems within the Republicans in the county. It already has. I think it will leave a bad fiavor in many people's mouths for years to come. "Buff Lamb in 1980 came to the Republican Central Committee ar.d asked that we endorse and support his candidacy for sheriff. If he was re-eiected, (he said) he would not seek re-election in 1934.

Of course, the Republican Central Committee did do what he requested and he was re-elected. "The members of the Republican Centra! Committee at that time started to look for a replacement candidate for 1984. They had already rallied around Dwight McNiei prior to Jack Savage or Buff Lamb announcing their candidacies. Several members of the Republican Central Committee were on the committee to elect Dwigh! McNiei us sheriff." Lamb's endorsement has angered some Republicans, Martens said. "Most of the ones that I've talked to do not fee! that it was the proper thing to do," Martens said.

"Some of the Republicans that supported Buff Lamb and Jack Savage feel that it's ail right to do such a thing." Donald Rollers, Democratic Party chairman, said he believes the endorsements will aid Ram- had grown up a few miles away in Lockwood. Wells came out because he wanted to help. "WVve got the equipment to help," they said. "Guess you'd say we're a couple of good old boys." Renovation of the church will begin next week. The structure's foundation will be reset.

Cracks in the walls will be plastered and the porch repaired. Though damaged, the building was in good enough condition Saturday to serve once again as a meeting house. Ringgenberg and several ladies from the community constructed a makeshift buffet table on a church pew. Coffee, sandwiches and cookies were served. Residents chatted about the weather and relatives.

When residents have gathered at the church before, they celebrated life and death. But it doesn't take a wedding or a death to get them together, Ringgenberg said. "When there's anything happening in the community, I want to be there," she said. "Some of these people are longtime residents," said 80 year-old Esther Jerome, who moved to rural Everton with her parents when she was six months old. "They're close-knit," about the damage from his sister, who heard about it from a niece.

He said three generations of his family were buried in the cemetery. "Of course, I was raised around Everton and went to Everton High School," he said. "It's kind of my obligation to be here. It's just kind of a family thing, community. I'd just as soon be right here than anywhere else.

I like being out in the open." The 57-year-old Underwood recalled coming to the cemetery 'as a youngster for Memorial Day. "Ever since 1 can remember, we'd come up here on what we called Decoration Day," he said. He continued the tradition with his children. Neal Spain of Spain Monument Co. in Greenfield and Gary Wells of Kent-Clark Monument Co.

A few stones still lay face down in the soft earth, but most had been resealed. It might have cost as much as $40 to reset one stone.

But Spain and Wells said they were doing it for free. Spain said he was at the cemetery because he members of the Pennsylvania Newspaper Publishers Association.
