Baby Jesus stolen from courthouse Nativity scene --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A key figure is missing from Baxter County's Christmas Nativity scene on the courthouse lawn. Someone has stolen baby Jesus.
Marjorie Roller of Mountain Home said she and relatives visited the Nativity scene with relatives last week, and her 10-month-old great-granddaughter, Lilly Grace Rasmussen, was photographed at the Nativity scene. The Christ child was gone when Roller and her daughter, Leslie Rasmussen of Branson, Mo., visited the square to take in the Christmas scenes Tuesday night.
"I said, 'Well, for heaven's sakes the baby's gone!'" she said.
Roller called the non-emergency 911 telephone number to report the incident. A dispatcher heard Roller's report, but neither the Mountain Home Police Department nor the Baxter County Sheriff's Department were investigating Thursday.
County Judge Sue Newton said anyone with information about the theft should contact the Sheriff's Department.
The scene is situated right outside the window of the office of Baxter County Treasurer Nelda Speaks. "I'd better lock up good. What else will they take?" said Speaks.
"We thought it might be hidden somewhere close by, and we looked in storm drains and all over and can't find it anywhere," said Carl Henson, supervisor of the Baxter County Maintenance Department.
The Nativity scene was a gift to the county in 1992 from Rick Spencer and his late wife, Coralee.

Whoa!
That's too much, Libby. Just way too much.
Stay safe up there - you're surrounded by nut-jobs.
How do you get them to put the anchovies on the side? I asked for that once, and they told me that they had to be cooked on the pizza itself.
It use to make me sick when I was a kid when things were black and white, yet the twisted version always got recognition!
I would see underminding creeping in, in little ways but most people just ignored it, or belittle the messinger!
No doubt you'll (yule?) be seeing the kid in one of your client's homes...
They just deliver them in their little fish tin, like sardines, or oysters, or those other hairy sea things.
Cripes, you don't cook anchovies, for goodness sake.
You may be better off, just purchasing them from your grocer; and using them as needed on the pizza pies.
I think you should take Resty's advice, and move around more. You know you have circulation problems, and should move your legs often.
I'll just eat them...
I'm going to try those pizza Loddy. Will have to look around here for one.
I love thin crispy ones.
......Westy.....
Aren't we all these days?
It's been gray and cold here today too. I don't do well on those 'low pressure' days.
How is it up your way, Pup? I think it says rain for tomorrow. Today was the day we were supposed to pass papers, so it was doubly lousy. Now it's supposed to be the 29th. Riiiight! lol
The missing baby Jesus? Or the perp?
Whatever is convenient for you. Thank you, Cheri.
Both, I'd say...
I know how it is. We computer freaks sit way too much for long stretches. You never realize how long it's been until you get up.
Not good for us older ones.
LOL!
