Four die in 1-car accident Four young adults, including three siblings, from Trenton were fatally injured in an accident that happened at about 1:40 p.m. on Tuesday, June 6, in Daviess County.

According to the Missouri State Highway Patrol, the crash occurred as Trey Shaw, 20, was traveling eastbound on Hwy. 190 in Daviess County.

About one-half mile west of the Daviess-Grundy county line, Mr. Shaw’s 1994 Isuzu Rodeo, a sports utility vehicle, traveled partially off the right side of the road. Mr. Shaw over-corrected and the vehicle returned to the roadway, skidded, and began to travel off the north side of the roadway. The vehicle traveled parallel to the roadway, down an embankment, and became airborne. It struck a ditch and came to rest in the ditch on its wheels, facing northwest.

The vehicle was difficult to see from the roadway, according to the report, and wasn’t discov-

ered until several hours later.

Killed in the accident were three siblings — brothers Malachi Knapp, 18, and Matheson Knapp, 19, and sister, Micah Knapp, 31 — and Trey Shaw, 20.

All were from Trenton.

Trey Shaw was transported by Daviess County Coroner to Frontier Forensics in Kansas City, Kan. Malachi, Matheson and Micah Knapp were transported to Slater Funeral Home in Trenton.

All occupants were pronounced deceased on June 6, at 8:50 p.m. by David McWilliams, Daviess County Coroner. None were wearing their seat belts.

The accident was investigated by Sgt. D.P. Little and Sgt. G.D. Ward, assisted by Cpl. P.M. Kimball, Cpl. J.A. Pithan, Trp. J.W. George, Tpr. A.D. Martin, Grundy County Sheriff ’s office, Grundy County Rural Fire Department, Grundy County EMS, Jamesport Fire and Rescue, Daviess County Sheriff ’s Office, and several first responders.

Are you really prepared for unexpected emergency?

An emergency preparedness workshop sponsored by the Gallatin Ward of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints will be held from 6-8:30 p.m. on Friday, June 9, at the LDS Church, 211 Ash Street, Gallatin.

“An emergency could happen today,” said Mike Andersen, Chairman of the Emergency Preparedness Council.

“Our church leaders want to share this opportunity with the community to be more prepared for whatever disaster may occur in the future. We hope to offer the workshops on a regular basis.”

Participants will pick two onehour classes to attend from the following: Gallatin Police Chief Mark Richards on weapons and legal issues; Bishop David Marble, professor at Missouri Western State University on living on your food storage; Bert Sepulveda, retired Ogden Utah City School District school teacher and 25-year veteran in the U.S. Marine Corps on sheltering at home;

Warren Ward, electrical engineer at Ward Technical Consulting on contacting your family in a disaster; There will be two presenters for triage, CPR, and other medical situations during an emergency: Kathy Hensley, former advanced emergency medical technician (EMT) and 30-year nurse; and David Roll, paramedic instructor and director of the Daviess County Emergency Management Agency.

Refreshments made from food storage items will be available after the workshops.

All members of the community are invited to attend.

Brig. Gen. Jim Sears returns home after counterterrorism command Air Force Brig. Gen. Jim Sears, who commanded the 455th Air Expeditionary Wing (AEW) at Bagram Airfield in Afghanistan for the last 12 months, returned home to the United States on June 4.

The Gallatin Class of 1987 graduate took a military flight to Qatar, located next to Saudi Arabia and across from Iran in the Persian Gulf, then changed to a commercial flight to Miami to later arrive in San Antonio, TX, late on Sunday. The trip home took 27 hours.

Sears will continue his Air Force career as the Director of Intelligence, Operations, and Nuclear Integration, Headquarters Air Education and Training Command, Joint Base San Antonio-Randolph, TX. The 455th AEW is considered as the premier counterterrorism air mission in Afghanistan.

The wing’s operations enable the NATO Resolute Support mission to successfully train, advise, and assist the military and security

forces of Afghanistan, while restricting and deterring the terrorist threat in the region.

During his time at Bagram Airfield, Brig. Gen. Sears’ leadership enabled 15,800 combat sorties, accumulating to 102,877 combat hours. This resulted in more than 1,369 kinetic strikes and 2,836 enemies killed in action.

These details were reported on the website of the U.S. Air Forces Central Command where Sears thanked his family for their sacrifice the last year. He also thanked the airmen who project airpower every day as he departed from command duty in Afghanistan.

“Commanding in combat truly has been the greatest honor in my career,” said Brig. Gen. Sears.

“There are U.S. and coalition forces that were able to go back and hug their families because airmen were there when they needed them. Because of [455th AEW] airmen like you, there are

fewer terrorists in the world today. I am tremendously proud of what you do every day to protect America.

“Thank you for your service and I thank your families for their sacrifices today and every day, so we can successfully conduct counterterrorism operations and enable the train, advise, and assist campaign with our Afghan partners. America is safer because of you.”

Sears’ replacement, Brig.

Gen. Craig Baker, took command of the 455th Air Expeditionary Wing during a change of command ceremony June 3, 2017 at Bagram Airfield, Afghanistan.

Baker is a command pilot with more than 2,600 flying hours and has commanded at the Squadron and Wing level.

Brig. Gen. Sears and his wife, Vikki, have two daughters. His father, Jim Sr., and wife Gina, live in Arizona. His father once owned and operated Pill Box Pharmacy, once located on the east side of the Gallatin square.

Summer students dive into city pool; swim lessons offered The Gallatin City Pool opened Monday, May 29. Three groups of students from Searcy Elementary Summer School will walk to the pool for a swim.

The first group is composed of kindergarten and first grade students; the second group is second, third and fourth grades; and the third group is fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth grades.

The bad guys

by Freida Marie Crump

Turning a happy face sad Describing pain to someone else isn’t easy. Even if it’s your doctor, maybe especially when it’s your doctor doing the asking.

It’s always a question of degree and, really, other than yourself, what’s there to compare to?

There is, of course, the “Happy Face” chart. The progression of expressions from sad to happy is designed for children but still leaves a semi-literate adult like me confused.

When I first confronted a happy chart, it was prior to what lead to my first back surgery. I felt a little silly talking to a nurse as she encouraged me to pick a face on the chart, a chart that appeared to be left over from some little tyke’s visit with the doctor.

Pain clouds all judgment. But I remember wondering, do I really want to approach a doctor holding a scalpel in his hand to talk about happy faces? I mean, really?

But, once again, I read how it’s technology to the rescue.

Smart-phone apps are about to revolutionize medical care.

The hype claims your smart phone can predict when cancer patients are about to relapse, detect rare side effects of experimental drugs, and prod patients to maintain healthy behaviors.

One of these new apps is called Moovcare. It is created by an Israeli e-health company. It enables lung-cancer patients to log symptoms after surgery or chemotherapy to receive followups and set automatic reminders. Whenever the patient logs a specific change in symptoms, the app sends an email to his or her physician and treatment plans are quickly adjusted, and the app helps predict the likelihood of relapse.

Moovcare’s health benefits have proven remarkable in initial studies. An independent study published last year by French researchers found that the median overall survival rate of patients who used the Moovcare app was 19 months, versus 12 months for those on standard care. After one year, 75% of patients following up with Moovcare were still alive, compared to 49% in the standard follow-up group.

What’s more, these new apps also track participants’ eating, sleeping, and exercise patterns.

That’s important for researchers to get a 360-degree view of patients’ health. And, in gathering

such information, comparisons can be made.

App-based studies can collect data from millions of participants worldwide, compared to a few thousand patients in most traditional clinical trials.

Those reams of data will enable researchers to draw much more rigorous conclusions -- for instance, they could realize that a treatment works better in certain demographic groups.

O the E itor s S ike

by Darryl Wilkinson

Are drug companies rolling out these new applications concerned about the personal touch? Well, yes... as with anything impacting the bottom line.

I read how Merck and Amazon’s first joint initiative, the Alexa Diabetes Challenge, is a call for researchers to create personalized, voice-enabled reminders and recommendations for patients with Type 2 diabetes. For example, Alexa, Amazon’s personal artificial intelligence home assistant, could remind patients to take their insulin or to exercise each day.

So, like the voice on your car’s GPS gently saying “Recalculating, recalculating...” with your every errant turn, there’s going to be a voice of consciousness should you errantly skip taking a pill. And yet, personal irritation aside, the potential impact is no small thing.

Medical non-adherence -skipping or forgetting doses, or taking the wrong dose -- costs Americans up to $300 billion each year due to increased sickness.

Ten percent of all hospitalizations and nursing home admittances are prompted by non-adherence. The problem claims 125,000 American lives each year.

Ironic, isn’t it, that we consider medical advancements by removing people out of the health care equation? Worried about whether your elderly dad or mom is taking their meds on schedule? Don’t use your phone to actually talk to them; save time and just check the app or assume all is well if you don’t re-

ceive an alert ...and then spend time saved on something else, like yourself.

Ugh. I don’t know where technology is taking us. I’m not sure I like putting the highest priorities on efficiency alone. Technology preaches how healthcare (really all tasks) can always be a little more effective if you remove people (in this case, both doctor and patient) from the equation.

Maybe there is good to the new world now unfolding. Fine.

But entering a world where some pocket device replaces the personal care and touch from our own Dr. Dickinson and others like him isn’t exactly what I’d call unqualified progress. Quite the contrary.

It’s enough to turn a happy face sad.

I’ve often read about genetic mutations, those weird accidents that cause the genes of a species to suddenly take off in the wrong direction and we end up with a two-headed frog or a five-legged Hereford calf. But I always thought that genetic ‘freakdom’ was rarer in the human species. After all, aren’t we inoculated a bit by genetic testing, modern drugs, and plastic surgeons? Then why do I see more and more freaks on my television set?

The senator walks out of a closed door hearing, stands before the bouquet of microphones and tells the world that, “Our committee is making good progress and we look forward to gaining more information moving forward,” when, in fact, nothing of substance was gained in the meeting, the Democrats tried to stick it to the Republicans who knew they had control of the reins, and the whole committee was a sham. In other words, the mouth behind the microphone was a bald-faced liar. Can this ape possibly be of the same species as your neighbor down the street who marches his little son down to your doorstep to say, “Yes, I was the one who ran over your tulips with my bike. I’m really sorry”?

The member of one political party or another does something remarkably stupid, even to the point of perhaps breaking the law, and his or her fellow party members either decline to comment or at worst defend the immoral behavior. You don’t have to wait a week to see this happen.

Just go flip the TV switch and wait 10 minutes. Can his corrupt idiot possibly be a branch on the same family tree as the mother who takes her son to school to apologize for his behavior on the playground? Can this freak of humanity possibly share genetic material with my grandmother who admitted one Christmas morning that she’d been rushed and had to use instant potatoes instead of peeling spuds? This was serious business for Grandma. It took more courage than if she’d been testifying before a Senate investigative committee.

We are all of us surrounded by good, moral people who could go entire years without ever telling the quality of lies that we hear daily from those in charge of governing our nation. Yes, we must all share the blame. We elected the liars and, in many cases, we knew they were scoundrels when we went into the voting booth. But our hatred for this cause or that personality gave us a case of convenient amnesia. But still... our nation’s history has been peopled plentifully with true statesmen and women. Where have they gone? Was there an unreported nuclear accident somewhere near the Potomac that has caused all these mutations from a breed of animal that used to have good sense?

Courage is another genetic trait that’s been somehow bred out of the current crop of mutants. No matter whose version of history you read you’ll find Patrick Henrys, George Washingtons, George Pattons, Dwight Eisenhowers, Colin Powells and John McCains ...men and women who have stood courageously to defend the cause of freedom and truth.

Today’s crop of cringing cowards seems to have but one thought: re-election. “Man up!” has been replaced by “Coward Down!” I heard a phrase in all this mess that’s stuck with me. “These will be the bad guys that our grandchildren read about in their history books.”

I took a brief fling at spring-cleaning this week and ran across an old photograph of some of my ancestors. They were posing on my great-grandmother’s front porch -- stiff and somber in their Sunday best. Great Uncle Harold was killed in World War I; his sister-inlaw, Grace Louise, single-handedly farmed her deceased husband’s land while raising seven children. Great Uncle Jeff, the judge, once traveled to Alton, IL, to help Elijah Lovejoy fight of the murderous crowds of slave owners who eventually took Lovejoy’s life. Nowhere on this simple porch setting did I see anything resembling those who seem to be leading us at the moment.

Bottom line: From what I see every day and from what you no doubt observe by sampling your acquaintances, those running our nation are not representative of the human race. I guess that’s a good thing. The flip side is that they’re in charge of running our nation.

You ever ‘round Poosey, stop by. We may not answer the door but you’ll enjoy the trip.

Gearing up for summer...

Frank Woodruff of Gallatin presented the following narrative during the 37th Annual Gallatin High School Alumni Banquet on May 27 in the high school gym. The banquet was hosted by the GHS Class of 1967 of which Mr. Woodruff is a member.

Gallatin Changes During the Last 50 Years The changes in Gallatin’s business scene since 2007 -- the purchase of Whitfield’s by Casey’s (which eliminated the last privately owned gas station in town), the purchase of the pharmacy of the D.H. Davis Drug Company by Shopko and the move of the Gallatin Publishing Company to the Lambert Building; along with the recent east side fire -- made me recall the Gallatin of 50 years ago.

It was quite a different Gallatin from the present model.

Northeast corner of town The first Lynch’s Market, now Dungy’s, was in what is now Cycles Restaurant. Initially the store was about a third the size of the present building.

Mr. Barlow had a tastee freeze in the west end before the grocery store was expanded. The car wash to the east was the first coin operated car wash in town. The laundry came later.

West two blocks was the Barlow gas station.

They had the first coin operated all-night gas station. I think it was called Mad Max. The Barlow boys were notorious for setting the gasoline prices in Gallatin setting off what we then called a “gas war” (all of about two cents on a 25-30 cent gallon of gas).

North of Barlow’s was the MFA hog barn. South toward town in the large house across from what is now Shopko was the Daviess County library. Jan Johnson’s mother, and Mrs. Naylor were in charge.

Glen Van Dyke had his paint shop, his apartment and two rentals in the next building. I think I recall the first kindergarten class was in one of those rentals before it moved to the school.

The Woodruff Ice Cream Company was in the big white building next door In the heat of the summer as much as 600 gallons of ice cream were made weekly. The Gallatin Publishing Company was beside the ice cream factory. At one time they printed two papers weekly; one for the Republicans and one for the Democrats but the advertising was the same.

Right beside the publishing company was Corwin Miller’s express agency. He brought deliveries from the two train depots to the square. Helen Persinger had a liquor store in what later was the main office of the publishing company. The Leopard law office was on the corner.

One block east of Leopard’s was Hal Hamilton’s Feed Store and angling across the street was the Carder Welding Shop.

East side of the square On the east side of the square were a number of businesses. I recall the first building on the north end as Linville’s Electrical and McGinnis Rugs in the corner building and an insurance office. Earlier the entire building was the post office. Merrigan’s

grocery, later Hales, was next door. Moving south in maybe not this order we had the Ben Franklin Store, the telephone office, Harlow Pharmacy, Hass Jewelry and a hair salon. The Phyllis Shop, Marshall’s Hardware, Mundell’s Electric, D. H. Davis Drug and Binney’s Hardware completed the block.

South of 4-way stop On the southeast corner of the four-way stop was the Western Auto. Next to it was the Courter Theatre with movies Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights. There was a dry cleaner to the south and Grogg’s cafe was in what is now the senior center.

The post office separated Grogg’s from the Outlet Store. For a short time there was a small grocery just south of the Outlet Store. The next storefront was a dentist office and on the corner was an eye doctor’s office.

East a half block was the Owings’ Mill and Produce. On the corner (where Dr. L. J. Dickinson’s Medical building now stands) was the Baker then Terry, Allis Chalmer dealership before Terry’s moved west of town. The American Legion Hall was another block south. I think two classes went to the third grade there while they built the new elementary school.

Across the street the Tate used car lot shared the block with Lambert’s Cap Factory. The Park and Shop Grocery Store was where the car wash now stands. Earlier it was a car dealership. Reynolds’ garage was in the next block, south of there was the Whitfield garage and small engine repair and for a short time there was a tastee freeze, complete with car hops, farther south.

On the west side of Highway 13 was the Mundell then Harlow’s Drive In. Many a nights were spent cruising around their drive. Early in the sixties there was a milk collection point in the next building north; next to it the Elbert Skating Rink brought many kids and their dates to town. The MODOT barn finished out the block.

Across the street was the Hisle, now Sandman Motel, and farther north was Thompson John Deere Implement. One block off the square was the Trimm DX gas station. The Dickey Hatchery was south and west across the street beside the Hope Funeral Home.

South side of the square On the south side of the square were the First National Bank, (before it moved to the present location), Elbert’s Department Store, Place’s Grocery, North Missouri Rug (before it moved to Cameron), Barton’s Appliance, Woodruff Ice Cream retail shop, Gann’s Department Store and the Gamble’s Automotive Store. Across the street west was the Revised March 201 Haggerty Trucking Company.

Vaccinate pets and stay clear of stray & wild animals Are you aware, all animal bites are reportable to the Daviess County Health Department for disease investigation? The reason is because of the potential of rabies in animals that can be spread to humans through a bite exposure. In the summertime, the Health Department sees an increase in reports and investigations of rabies exposure because we humans are out and about enjoying our summer and so are animals.

In a perfect world all animals would be fully vaccinated and on a leash with their owner, but as we know that is not the case at all. We certainly don’t have control of wild animals in any way.

So with that said, there are some ways to protect yourself and your animals from rabies: If you or a family member is bitten by ANY animal, report it to the police immediately and seek appropriate medical care.

Do not kill the animal that has bit, unless you have to pro-

Mattison Ishmael receives scholarship Missouri State University recently awarded scholarships to incoming students for the 2017-18 academic year, including Mattison Ishmael of Gallatin, who received the Board of Governors Scholarship.

Students are selected from those who apply based on their ACT (American College Test) scores, GPA, standing in graduating class, and leadership shown in community and school activities.

Trooper Griffin promoted corporal Trooper Aaron K. Griffin, Q/ TND, is being promoted to the rank of corporal and will remain in his present assignment as an instructor at the Missouri State Highway Patrol’s Law Enforcement Academy, General Headquarters, Jefferson City.

The promotion is effective as of June 1. Griffin joined the patrol on October 17, 2004, as a member of the 83rd Recruit Class.

After graduating from the Patrol’s Law Enforcement Academy, he was assigned to Troop H, Zone 10, Daviess and DeKalb counties. While assigned to Troop H, he also served as a member of the Troop A SWAT team from 2008-2015, and as a Troop H marijuana eradication officer from 2009-2011. He and his family lived in Gallatin while he was assigned to Troop H. In May 2015, Cpl. Griffin was assigned to the Training Division as an instructor. Corporal Griffin grew up in Rock Port, MO, and graduated from Rock Port High School in 1998. He earned a Bachelor of Science in agricultural economics from the University of Missouri-Columbia in 2004.

Cpl. Griffin and his wife, Whitney (Vernieuw), have three children, Reilly, Jackson, and Aiden.

tect yourself. The animal will be quarantined or euthanized and submitted for testing. If the animal is killed and unavailable for testing, the recommendation is to vaccinate the victim with rabies vaccine depending on circumstances.

•Do not approach stray or wild animals.

•Call the police or animal control if there is an animal in your yard or running loose in the streets.

•Keep your pets vaccinated against rabies.

•Keep your animals on a leash, in a fenced area or under direct supervision.

Rabies is a preventable viral disease of mammals most often transmitted through the bite of a rabid animal. The vast majority of rabies cases reported to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) each year occur in wild animals like raccoons, skunks, bats, and foxes.

The rabies virus infects the central nervous system, ulti-

mately causing disease in the brain and death. The early symptoms of rabies in people are similar to that of many other illnesses, including fever, headache, and general weakness or discomfort.

As the disease progresses, more specific symptoms appear and may include insomnia, anxiety, confusion, slight or partial paralysis, excitation, hallucinations, agitation, hyper salivation (increase in saliva), difficulty swallowing, and hydrophobia (fear of water). Death usually occurs within days of the onset of these symptoms.

The most common mode of rabies virus transmission is through the bite and virus-containing saliva of an infected host.

Though transmission has been rarely documented via other routes such as contamination of mucous membranes (i.e., eyes, nose, mouth), aerosol transmission, and corneal and organ transplantations. For further information visit cdc.gov/rabies/ transmission/virus.html.

Gallatin man, woman arrested on firearms, drug charges Larry Karstens, 64, and Brittany Karstens, 33, both of Gallatin, were arrested May 30 after Sergeant Larry Adams of the Daviess County Sheriff’s Office responded to 20581 Quick Avenue, Gallatin, to do a well-being check on Brittany Karstens’ children at the residence.

Send your children back to school with vaccines up to date Summer vacation goes by quickly! The Daviess County Health Department hopes you put immunizations for your children at the top of your list of things to do this summer.

Getting children all of the vaccines recommended by the Center for Disease Control’s (CDC) immunization schedule is one of the most important things parents can do to protect their children’s health—and that of classmates and the community.

Most schools require children to be current on vaccinations before enrolling to protect the health of all students. Be sure and supply your school an updated and current immunization record, otherwise your child can be withheld from school.

Today’s childhood vaccines protect against serious and potentially life-threatening diseases, including polio, measles, whooping cough, and chickenpox.

“Thanks to vaccines, most of these diseases have become rare in the United States,” said Dr. Anne Schuchat, Director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “But many still exist here, and they can make children very sick, leading to

many days of missed school, missed work for parents, and even hospitalization and death.”

When children are not vaccinated, they are at increased risk of disease and can spread diseases to others in their classrooms and community—including babies who are too young to be fully vaccinated, and people with weakened immune systems due to cancer and other health conditions.

School age children need vaccines. For example, kids who are four to six-years-old are due for boosters of four combinations of vaccines: DTaP (diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis), chickenpox, MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella), and polio.

Older children, like pre-teens and teens, need Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis), HPV (human papillomavirus), and MCV (meningococcal conjugate virus) vaccines. As of school 2016/2017, TDAP and MCV4 are required for eighth grade entry and MCV4 for 12th grade entry.

In addition, yearly flu vaccines are recommended for all children six months and older.

Check with your child’s doctor or Daviess County Health Department to find out what vaccines they may need this year.

Daviess County Health Department (DCHD) is a provider of Vaccines for Children (VFC).

VFC is a program that provides free vaccine to children ages 0 through 18 years of age that are uninsured, on Medicaid, underinsured or Alaskan Native/ American Indian/Asian or Pacific Islander.

DCHD also has private purchased vaccine and is contracted with five major insurance providers: Coventry, BlueCross BlueShield of KC, Cigna, United Healthcare, and Aetna. If you have one of these five insurance providers and want to get your immunizations at the Daviess County Health Department, we advise you to call your insurance company prior to your visit and make sure your plan covers immunizations and that the Daviess County Health Department is an in-network provider. If your insurance does not cover immunizations, the health department can offer VFC vaccines up to 19 years old, and limited adult vaccines for 19 years old and older.

DCHD has Public Health Day every Tuesday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. (Tuesday, July 4, the health department will be closed). The health department is available on those days to do immuniza-

Armyworm injury continues The phone has been ringing at the Missouri University Extension in Holt County, regarding armyworm damage, according to Regional Agronomist Wayne Flanary. Mr. Flanary said one of those calls was from Daviess County. Calls have been received from most all counties in northwest Missouri, including Harrison, Caldwell, DeKalb and Ray. Mr. Flanary said growers should actively scout grass pastures for this pest. Scouting is best conducted late in evening or early morning because the worms typically feed at night.

Worms will attack grass pastures, winter wheat and corn.

Armyworm attack and defoliate grass plants. There are two to three generations per year with most damage occurring from this pest in May and June.

Larvae feed for three to four weeks; however, 80% of the damage occurs during the last five days of larval feeding. When all food is consumed, the larvae will move to a different site giving the appearance of moving in hordes.

During the day, larvae will be curled up under the ground litter in pastures.

Check with your local dealer regarding pesticides.

Dense grass canopies may hinder insecticide reaching the

Much of the armyworm damage has occurred in counties that have pastureland. There are several resources at the U niversity of Missouri E x tension website, which can help you with the identification and understanding of this pest. These resources can be found at https: / / ipm.missouri. edu/ I P CM/ . larvae. Also, larger worms are harder to control than smaller worms. If possible, spray at dusk or at night which provides better control as worms will be on plants and will be more likely to encounter the insecticide.

Small group time followed the message. We will begin our “Fun Food” summer food outreach in Altamont on June 15. In addition, we will be working on a Habitat for Humanity house in Chillicothe on June 17.

Taxpayer complaints on refunds noted More than 1,000 Missourians from throughout the state have contacted State Auditor Nicole Galloway to report missing refunds and other concerns about their tax returns. In a letter issued yesterday, June 6, Auditor Galloway called on the director of the Department of Revenue to take quick action and address taxpayers’ complaints.

Missouri law requires that any personal income tax refunds issued after 45 days past filing be paid to taxpayers with interest.

Refunds were due on June 2 to all taxpayers who filed income tax returns by the April 18 deadline.

Reunion reminiscing (continued from page 3) Exchange was in that building, and later was the True Value. Going south was a small café and next to that was Bill Walker’s Barber Shop. There was another building beside the Walker shop. I think Mr. Johnson had a pool hall upstairs. Across the alley, as it is today, was the lumber company.

Southwest from the square From the southwest corner of the square going west were the Lynch Produce and Swofford Motor Company. Swofford’s sold Ford cars and trucks.

The Blackburn and Hockensmith Case Implement and Pontiac, Buick and GMC dealership was in what is now the Daviess County library building.

McBroom’s had their television and refrigeration repair in the basement of their home. The Corner Liquor Store, now the Flowers and More flower shop, has always been a fixture below the sale barn that offered weekly lunches. The Sullenger International Dealership was in what is now the Lions Club Building. They offered both International machinery and trucks.

Both the elementary and high school buildings were located where Gold Key is now, before the new elementary building was built. The junior high and high school were still there until the new high school was built. One block off the square on the north side of highway six was the Mc Donald’s Tearoom. At one time it was one of the best places to eat in all of Missouri. Turpin Youtsey had his MFA insurance office east of the Tea Room.

West side of the square The west side of the square had a number of storefronts. Hillman’s Skelly station was on the south corner. Ray Richards, later the Koffee Kup, had a café next door. Haley’s flower shop was in one of the storefronts as was Frank Jones’ Barber Shop. Foster’s shoe repair was in one of the buildings.

In the late sixties the Selective Service Office was on the west side. The first Bonnie Bird Café was near the Moore Ford Implement and Rambler dealership. On down the street was Tony Watson’s Barber Shop. In the basement of that building was the Submarine Tavern.

Paul Pierce Auto Supply and Gun Works building was the John Deere dealership before Thompson’s

moved off the square. North of that building was Mr. Pile’s Diner and across the alley was Campbell’s Dry Cleaners. The Farmer’s Bank parking lot was Gallatin’s other lumber company. I think Frank Tooley was the last manager. Dowell’s Garage was east of the lumber company. Dr. Nixon’s office was beside the Dowell Garage.

North side of the square On the north side of the square, before Gallatin’s earlier big fire, was the Elbert Hotel; with Mrs. Bennett’s beauty shop in the corner of the building, next Kulis television repair shop, the Brandom Law Office, a bowling alley, and the North Side Tavern. Richardson’s had a heating and air conditioning business beside the Bank of Gallatin, now BTC Bank.

Turning north at the corner north of the bank was the Crawford Eye office, later Mr. Merrigan’s office, and at mid-block was the second location of the Bonnie Bird Café (later Whitt’s Dinner Bell Café), earlier it was the Weldon grocery store.

Completing the block was the Tate Motor Company, probably Gallatin’s largest car dealership, offering Chevrolet cars and trucks and Oldsmobiles, and later they offered Honda Motorcycles. At one time the first coin laundry was in their basement on the north end.

The Standard Oil gas station was where Casey’s now stands and west of there was Whitton’s, then Bud’s, Locker, that offered some groceries.

During this period Gallatin had three local physicians, Dr. Bailey, D.O., Dr. Nelson, D.O. and Dr. Nixon, M.D. Some used Dr. Wilson at Winston and Dr. Bailey, D.O. at Jamesport.

Fifty years ago Gallatin had five car dealerships and five implement dealerships inside the city limits. Counting the locker, there were five grocery stores and five or six restaurants/cafes. People lived in most of the apartments above the storefronts either above their store or as rentals. Times have changed.

It will be interesting to see what Gallatin is like 50 years from now.
