A long road to ribbon cutting ceremony!

Main Street Medical Pharmacy opens its doors The milestone was marked with a ribboncutting ceremony on Aug. 7, coordinated by Stephanie Williams, business facilitator with North Central Missouri Business Facilitation (NCMBF). Dr. Neal described the process involved in getting the pharmacy started in a questionnaire she completed for the NCMBF: “My biggest struggle while opening a new business has been contracting insurance companies. As a business, I was approved by May 6 to dispense prescriptions. However, today’s pharmacy market is no longer cash paying patients. Almost everyone has insur-

Bank robbery re-enactment at Chautauqua Plans for the 2019 Gallatin Chautauqua are taking shape, according to festival leader Kate Chrisman. A lineup of events and free activities is being scheduled for Friday and Saturday, Sept. 20-21. This year marks the 150th anniversary of the Frank & Jesse James robbery of the Daviess County Savings Association which occurred in Gallatin (1869), as featured on Chautauqua T-shirts and souvenir programs. An outdoor re-enactment of the crime will be presented on location at the southwest corner of Gallatin’s business square.

The re-enactment will feature actors portraying authentic characters, some on horseback, to provide historic details for those in attendance. Outlaws Frank & Jesse James became notoriously legend in Old West lore. Two events which occurred in Gallatin serve as bookends during their 14-year crime spree – the 1869 bank robbery and the 1883 trial of Frank James. The bank robbery thrusts Gallatin native Samuel P. Cox into a hero’s role, capping a lifetime of adventure and achievement. It was Major Cox who took on the personal risk (continued on page 2)

Surrounded by supporters as the ribbon is cut on Aug. 7 are Dr. Mackenzie Morrison, staff pharmacist; Hillaree Barlow, certified pharmacy technician; Dr. NiCole Neal, pharmacist in charge; Aubrey Burns, first year pharmacy student at KU; Stephanie Williams with North Central Missouri Business Facilitation; and Jen Harris, pharmacy technician.

The opening of the brand new Main Street Medical Pharmacy in Gallatin has been a long time coming. A complex trail of red tape and paperwork has hindered the completion of insurance contracts, but Dr. NiCole Neal and Dr. Mackenzie Morrison believe the end is now in sight. In the wake of the closing of the only pharmacy in Gallatin, Mackenzie and NiCole accepted the challenging endeavor of opening an independent pharmacy to provide for the community’s pharmaceutical needs back in February, and have been working towards that goal for the past several months.

ance coverage for prescriptions. Therefore, we are still waiting on insurance companies to contract with our store. “I was amazed that Missouri state insurance company of Missouri Health Net, or Medicaid, approved us in May, while the independent carriers are taking much longer to complete their contracts with us.” Although the new pharmacy is not yet fully contracted with insurance, they’ve been told that “sometime in the next 30 days,” the paperwork will be completed so that patrons may begin having their prescriptions transferred to Gallatin’s only hometown pharmacy. Although the store has been open for over a month, they have only been able to accept cash payments and Medicaid. Mackenzie Morrison is a hometown girl who started her career as the pharmacy manager at Shopko in Gallatin, where she worked for 10 years before the store closed this year. She graduated from pharmacy school at the University of Missouri in Kansas City in 2008. She also gained experience working at the Walmart Pharmacy at Cameron while completing her degree. Mackenzie, a 2002 graduate of Gallatin R-5 High School, is excited to continue serving Gallatin and the surrounding communities. She and her husband Zack live outside (continued on page 3)

Jameson Picnic a family tradition …and this family is all smiles Charlene Caraway, Gallatin, has never missed a Jameson Picnic in 80 years until last year when she broke her leg, but she was back this year smiling from ear to ear. Charlene won the Jameson Picnic Baby show in 1937, and that tradition continued as this year her great-grandsons Parker Michael Kreatz won ﬁrst place in the 13-18 month category of the baby show, and Owen Michael Kreatz was Little Mister. They are the sons of Brook and Justin Kreatz and little brothers of Carder of Chillicothe. Owen was honored to get to ride in the old Jameson public school horse drawn wagon in the parade, just like the one his great-great-grandmother Doris “Brown” Lynn rode in when she went to school at Jameson. Owen learned that Doris was a Jameson basketball player and Doris’s grandfather was a Lewis of the Lewis Mill Bridge in Jameson. Owen also found new relatives aboard the school wagon on the Whitt tree branch. The picnic has been a family tradition all of its 128 years -- a time to see relatives, friends, reminisce, catch up on the news, listen to good music, eat a tenderloin and pie, play kids games, enjoy the parade, and best of all — show off the grandchildren.

Search warrants

result in 5 arrests on drug charges

Five Jamesport residents have been arrested on drug charges following search warrants executed at two Jamesport residences on Aug. 12. Charges were ﬁled on Aug. 13. Amber Clevenger, 39, has been charged with felony possession of controlled substance and four misdemeanor counts of unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia. Bond was denied. Charlez Cameron, 34, Ashley Ross, 25, Dustin Kimberling, 37, and Kristopher Simpson, 38, have each been charged with felony possession of controlled substance and two misdemeanor counts of unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia. According to court documents, a search warrant was executed at approximately 6:11 p.m. on Aug. 12 at 705 West Edmond Street in Jamesport by the Daviess County Sheriff ’s Ofﬁce and troopers of the Missouri State Highway Patrol. Clevenger was the sole occupant of the residence, and she admitted to being a user of methamphetamine. During the search, drugs and drug paraphernalia were seized. Clevenger’s criminal history includes drug charges dating back (continued on page 3)

Frances Whitt will turn… well, let’s just say 105 pieces of pie sweetens celebration! Frances Whitt will turn 105 on Aug. 28 and the public is invited to help her celebrate with 105 pieces of pie! Frances is a resident at Daviess County Nursing & Rehab. The party will be held from 2-4 p.m. on Aug. 28, on the right side dining hall with pie and ice cream served to those who stop by. Fannie Swartzentruber of Trenton is baking the pies — apple, peach, cherry, strawberry-rhubarb, coconut cream, chocolate cream, butterscotch, raspberry and gooseberry. Frances and her late husband Elmer ran the Dinner Bell Café in Gallatin for many years. Frances baked as many as 50 pies at once to serve at large farm auctions, which she catered — she was known as “the pie lady.” Frances started cooking when she was ﬁve years old … “making mud pies,” she said in (continued on page 3)

OPINION

Aug. 14, 2019

Consider Samuel P. Cox It’s been 150 years since Frank & Jesse James embarked on a 14year crime spree, officially starting with the 1869 robbery of the Daviess County Savings Association. So, of course, this is a significant anniversary. But should we celebrate by re-enacting a crime during Gallatin’s Chautauqua? Some say it is inappropriate to focus on the notorious in any positive way. Let’s be clear: Frank & Jesse James were murderous thugs who exploited public sympathies tied to the Lost Cause to whitewash outrageous thievery. They proclaimed innocence despite all evidence of guilt. Jesse James was assassinated, but the law never made either brother pay for a life of crime. Re-enacting the 1869 bank robbery which occurred here does not elevate Frank & Jesse James into heroes. What occurred here is significant history. What we’re overlooking is the opportunity to elevate and celebrate a Gallatin hero truly Off the Editor’s Spike... worth memorializing: Samuel P. Cox. While Frank & Jesse get all the fame, Major Cox deserves a hero’s acclaim. Confederate guerrilla Jesse James vowed to kill the man who killed fellow bushwhacker Bloody Bill Anderson. By all accounts at that time, Major Cox by Darryl Wilkinson was recognized as the man who pulled that trigger. Only recently have local historians pointed to bugler Adolph Vogel as the more likely target for Jesse James. Major Cox led the ambush of Bloody Bill and others near Richmond, MO, and nobody can accurately confirm exactly who fired the fatal shot ending the life of Bloody Bill. As unit leader, Major Cox got the credit and the City of St. Joseph even presented him with a saber in public ceremony. In reality, Major Cox probably accepted the role to shield a young family man from Jesse’s threats – facts held as a Vogel family secret for many decades after the Civil War. There are many other heroics in the adventurous life of Major Cox worthy of acclaim. His life’s story reads like a history of our nation: ●● enlisted in the U.S. Army’s “Oregon Battalion” in 1847 at age 19, followed orders to develop the Oregon Trail, the Mormon Trail, and protect the Santa Fe Trail from warring Sioux Indians ●● helped complete Fort Kearney, NE ●● participated in the California Gold Rush in 1849 ●● moved to Gallatin, MO, married and entered in the mercantile business in 1950 ●● worked as a teamster in 1854, eventually selling out and taking his family to San Francisco, then was shipwrecked near Key West, FL, upon a return journey en route to Baltimore by way of Nicaraugua ●● became wagon master for Russell, Majors & Waddell in 1856, delivering goods to Fort Leavenworth, KS ●● carried important dispatch to Gen. Albert Sidney Johnston near Salt Lake City in 1859, including a nationally publicized feat of covering 1,200 miles by himself in hostile Sioux Indian territory in record time while riding two mules ●● worked as Daviess County deputy sheriff and was one of the first in Daviess County to declare for the Union, organizing and commanding the “Cox Battalion” and later joining the 1st Missouri State Militia, fighting in guerrilla encounters at Kirksville, Lee’s Ford on the Chariton River, Kingston, Union Mills and elsewhere ●● served as Daviess County recorder and circuit clerk in 1862 ●● credited with killing of Bill Anderson by leading an ambush in Ray County, MO, on Oct. 27, 1864, Anderson being the notorious guerrilla chief of the Centralia Massacre who claimed he had killed 54 men ●● conducted business locally and elected as collector of Union Township, Daviess County, in 1874

This list hardly summarizes all that Major Cox accomplished before his death and burial at Gallatin’s Brown Cemetery on Aug. 21, 1913. Certainly this list serves as evidence of a significant life, especially when compared against the deeds of Frank & Jesse James. So, yes, some may view the re-enactment of the 1869 James Boys robbery of the bank as a misguided celebration. No one, however, can dispute our history. It is what it is. I suggest that by embracing what occurred here, we can choose to celebrate men like Major Samuel P. Cox. And if Cox did in fact privately and publicly shield Adolph Vogel to protect a young family from an outlaw’s revenge, then what better man to call a Gallatin hero?

Raising bridges without raising taxes by State Rep. J. Eggleston

Since I have been in the legislature, transportation funding has been a topic in the forefront of debate and discussion. This year, the legislature passed SCR14 to make significant progress dealing with this issue. In 2014, a sales tax increase to better fund MoDot was on the ballot. Voters rejected it. In 2018, a gas tax increase was put on the ballot. Again, voters rejected it. Voters have made it clear that the way to solve transportation issues is not to raise taxes, which is understandable since MoDot already gets and spends over $4 billion in taxpayer money each year. So, this year the governor got the transportation discussion going by proposing the state borrow $350 million dedicated to fixing up over 200 of our aging bridges, mostly in rural areas. This amount would be paid back over 15 years. By dedicating this funding to bridges that were already on the state transportation improvement plan and getting those bridges fixed sooner, money that would have gone to those bridges could now be spent on other projects to complete them sooner as well. But there were two issues. One was borrowing that much

2019 Chautauqua slate taking shape (continued from page 1) of revenge vowed by Jesse James, shielding young family man and unit bugler Adolph Vogel in the aftermath of the ambush and death of Wm. “Bloody Bill” Anderson. Jesee James’ vow to kill the man who shot Bloody Bill proved real, even though the murder of Capt. John Sheets during the bank robbery was a case of mistaken identity. The re-enactment will be narrated by a person portraying blacksmith Samuel McDonald, an eye witness to the robbery. Samuel McDonald was the father of the man who later converted the blacksmith shop located across the street from the bank into what later became nationally famous McDonald Tea Room. The re-enactment is just one of many events during a weekend of free family fun and activities. This year’s parade has been moved to Saturday morning with a western theme; two performances by Gallatin Theater League are slated at Courter Theater on Saturday. Vendors will offer various wares Friday evening and throughout Saturday. The tentative schedule of events is as follows: Friday Evening: Baby Show, Pedal Tractor Race, Kids’ games, movie, Glow Yoga Saturday Morning: 5K “Color Rush” race, Car Show, Pet Show, “Western Theme” Parade, play at

Courter Theater, Paint Class, Shae & the Sumptin Bros. performance, Kids’ carnival & bounce house, Touch-A-Truck Saturday Afternoon: Play at Courter Theater, Magic Show, Re-enactment of 1869 James Boys robbery (on location, SW corner of square), Wine Walk, Hammertoe performance Saturday Evening: National anthem and VFW salute, Dammit Jim performance A schedule of events listing times and locations for Chautauqua events will be announced soon.

money for so long would require the state lose about $100 million due to interest payments on the debt. The second was the plan did not address the big, aging Rocheport Bridge, which is the bridge near Boonville on I-70 that spans the Missouri River. It either needed significant improvements or to be replaced. As part of one of our nation’s major arteries, that bridge supports thousands of travelers and millions in goods each day. A lane closure for maintenance would create unacceptably long delays. Members of the House, Senate, and the governor’s office put their heads together and modified the governor’s original plan. The final plan, which was passed in SCR14, was to borrow $301

million if the federal government awards our state a grant for repairing the Rocheport Bridge. Since I-70 is not just important for travel across our state, but also across our country, it only seems right the federal government should pay for a big chunk of its repair costs. Also, the bonds will be paid back in half of the time than originally proposed reducing the interest costs. In July, we learned that we were awarded the federal grant, and so the plan outlined in SCR14 will go through. Over the next few years, Missourians should see many improvements to our bridges and maintenance to our road system, including a new six-lane Rocheport Bridge to replace the old four-lane one -- all without rais-

Pattonsburg graduate earns silver at Pan American Games A Pattonsburg native, Rachel (Hopkins) Tozier, has contributed to the success of Team USA during the 2019 Pan American Games in Lima, Peru. The Games concluded for Team USA Shooting on Aug. 3 with an impressive medal count and historic Olympic quota win. Spc. Rachel Tozier, with the U.S. Army Marksmanship Unit, won a Silver Medal in Women’s Trap and another Silver Medal (with Brian Burrows) in the Mixed Trap Team event. Nine soldiers from the U.S. Army and U.S. Army Reserve were part of the Shooting Team for Team USA. In total, Team USA claimed 10 Gold Medals, eight Silver Medals, two Bronze Medals and seven Olympic Quotas. Of those, soldiers contributed to five of the Gold, six of the Silver and three of the quotas. The soldiers are from the U.S. Army Marksmanship Unit, the U.S. Army World Class Athlete Program and the U.S. Army Reserve. They competed in a number of events, both individual and team.

‘Paint for a Cause’ coming soon to Trenton Local and area residents will have the opportunity to be a part of Missouri history when the “Paint for a Cause” art project comes to Trenton as a part of the Missouri Day Festival in October. “Paint for a Cause” is a 15-panel mural that will on display in the Truman Building in Jefferson City when Missouri celebrates its 200th birthday in 2021 before it becomes a permanent fixture in the building to be enjoyed by generations to come. Communities from throughout the state will be providing “artists” to complete the mural over the next two years, including a stop in Trenton. The idea was conceived by Cape Girardeau artists Aaron Horrell and Barb Bailey. The project provides the chance for as many Missourians as possible – of any age or ability — the chance to participate in the painting of the 12-foot by 30-foot mural and be a part of the state’s history. The completed mural will contain symbols representing the state of Missouri. Each symbol has been marked similar to a “paint by number” picture, with each artist being able to “paint” their portion of the panel. Trenton’s panel will be located at The Space at 1013 Main Street in the downtown area during the Missouri Day Festival, Oct. 19-21. Dan Maxey and Kim Cleeton of Black Rooster Creative are helping to bring the project to Trenton. Maxey said persons will be able to come in any time during the festival to paint and/or view the mural in progress. Each panel measures 4 foot by 6 foot, with the Trenton panel to have 1,729 squares to be painted. “That means we can have 1,729 persons come in and be a part of history by painting on this mural,” said Maxey. Paint and brushes will be provided and there will be individuals present at the site to assist participants. It is estimated that around 350 persons can be accommodated each day, based on an eighthour day. Maxey emphasized the project is designed to include painters of all ages and abilities. “We want EVERYONE to come out and paint,” said Dan Maxey. Because the mural is about celebrating Missouri and its 200 years of history, Maxey said he felt the Missouri Day Festival and Trenton were the perfect venue for this project. “What better place is there to celebrate Missouri that at the Missouri Day Festival, which has been celebrating the state’s history for over 30 years,” he said. As a part of the project, there will be an individual on site who will record information about each of the “artists,” including their name, age and address. That information will be combined with other journals from similar projects across the state. The combined information will then be included with the finished project when it is on display in Jefferson City. Maxey said the panels and journals will eventually become a part of a “user friendly” interactive video that will allow future generations to go back and check about ancestors who may have had a hand in the project. “So when future generations come and see this display, they can type a name, a city or a date and see if they have some relative who might have been involved in this project,” he said. Because there is a cost associated with bringing the project to Trenton, several local businesses, organizations and individuals have stepped forward to provide monetary support and will be recognized once the final list is compiled. Maxey said it is the goal of the organizers to have all costs associated with the project (paint, brushes, transportation, etc.) paid for by private funding. Anyone interested in helping to support the project with a monetary donation may contact Maxey at Black Rooster Creative or dan_w_maxey@yahoo.com. For more information about the project, persons can go to the “Missouri Bicentennial Paint for a Cause” Facebook page as well as to the Missouri Bicentennial website, missouri2021.org.

I helped Mollie Bolar up around Jameson do the cooking. We set out the biggest spread for those farmers. Like a family reunion.” Frances went into the food business officially when she was 16, working in different restaurants around the area. She worked at a café in Gallatin owned by her sister. Elmer Whitt bought the restaurant and that’s how the two met. She and Elmer were married in 1963. Their first restaurant was located on the same street and in the general area where the lumber yard and the title company

are located now. This restaurant proved to be too small and they sold it. About six months later they started up Whitt’s Café located off the northwest corner of the business square in 1963 (behind where Pierce Automotive is today). The café would seat 35. At the same time Elmer put in a café at Altamont Junction. But the new highway (Hwy. 6 and Hwy. 69) cut off their business and they closed that one after a year. They moved to the block north of the square on highway 13 and put in the Dinner Bell (the former Bonnie Bird Café owned by Coleen Leach), which they operated from 1971 to 1988. The Whitts featured country, homecooked meals. “We made everything from scratch,” said Frances. “No pre-

And with this professional staff, local healthcare team and community support, we have the building blocks to make this business successful and a longterm part of the community.” The Main Street Medical Pharmacy Care Team consists of Hillaree Barlow, Jen Harris, Aubrey Burns, pharmacy technicians; and staff pharmacist Dr. Mackenzie Morrison. Dr. Neal says that NCMBF was an essential part of getting the business off the ground. Stephanie Williams helped with the format of the business plan, contacting phone companies, and marketing strategies, as well as planning the grand opening and ribbon-cutting ceremony. “We are so grateful for the welcome and support that we’ve received over the summer as we have worked on accreditations and approvals for insurance contracts,” says Dr. Neal. “We are very excited to be opening this pharmacy in Gallatin.” Main Street Medical Pharmacy is located in the old Casey’s building, at 403 S.

She went from working two days a week to three, then four, five, and sometimes six. She worked there for six and a half years. She retired from work when she was 87 and was still living on her own until age 103. Niece Sandy Adams of Jamesport says, “Frances is doing well though her sight and hearing are not the best. Her mind is still sharp and she can think of names faster than I can.” “She’s always had a good outlook on life,” Sandy says. “And she’s a happy person.” Frances’ daughter Shirley Hancock will be attending the party along with grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

If you have a very sandy soil, you might get by with this approach, although there still could be problems. Some plants, however, really like lots of organic matter, and instructions from the nursery may tell you to add a mixture of peat moss and soil. Blueberries are a good example of this. The key here if you use this approach is to plant on a really high raised bed. If the plant remains high above the surrounding soil level, any excess rainfall can drain off and the plant will be much better off.

This year has experienced times of excess moisture in much of Missouri. While it’s great to see good rainfall again after last summer’s drought, too much rain certainly leads to its own set of problems. I have been getting many calls from homeowners who are experiencing the loss of young trees and shrubs.

Nursing and Rehab rocks with new activity, hosts 105 at first health fair

by Jennie Pankau, LPN/MBA LNHA, Administrator

August is here. What a fast summer it has been. We are excited to begin a new activity with our residents that will include our community. We are painting rocks with our residents and will be hiding them around the community. If you find a beautifully painted rock around town, be sure to bring it to us at Daviess County Nursing and Rehab so that we can reward you with a prize. If you’d rather just keep the rock that’s okay, or you could rehide it. This activity will continue through the month of October. Interacting with the community via our Facebook page has allowed residents to stay connected with friends and family near and far. Please be sure to like our page at http://www. facebook.com/DaviessCoNursingRehab/ and interact with our posts.

Our first annual health fair was a huge success. We had over 105 members of the community attend our health fair and get their labwork completed. We were so happy to be able to offer this service to the community. Be sure to remember our annual health fair will be held each July. Daviess County Nursing and Rehab received a generous donation from the Lake Viking Quilt Club of over 30 lap quilts. Our residents have enjoyed looking at the quilts and choosing one to keep them warm. Last week, the residents enjoyed a visit from the preschoolers at the Lighthouse Learning Center. They came to visit us last Thursday and held a special music program for the residents. Our residents truly enjoy music programs. If your church or other group is musically talented, please call us to arrange a program soon.

Library summer reading challenge takes a break, new programs for fall Back-to-school means back to a routine — for families and for the library. This summer was jam-packed with fun programs for children and even for the adults. Children may continue reporting reading and taking away prizes through this Saturday, Aug. 17. Library staff will compile completion statistics and forward to the schools so the kids will reap their rewards there, as well. This summer’s goal was to read 40 out of 84 days throughout the summer to reduce what educators call “Summer Slide,” and 137 county children took that challenge — how many will meet that challenge? Library staff has kept on their toes all summer with a wide variety of programs so there will be a break for a couple of weeks, then fall programming kicks off in September and October. Look for the roll-out of several new programs for young and old, alike. Monthly programs will include “Alz Not Forgotten” Community Memory Hour at Daviess County Nursing and Rehab, first

SCHOOL

August 14, 2019

Former GHS athlete reaches the NFL … for just one day Many years after graduating from Gallatin High School, one of the best Bulldog athletes of the mid-1970s will soon find himself on a National Football League playing field. Only he won’t be wearing a helmet, jersey, pads or football cleats. Danny Robertson, a 1975 GHS grad who lives in Scurry, TX, a town with a population of 735 located 30 miles southeast of Dallas, has the unique opportunity of working the sidelines as a member of the chain gang during the upcoming Dallas by Dennis Cox vs. Houston preseason football game at AT&T Stadium on Saturday, Aug. 24. The game is scheduled to be televised on the NFL Network at 6 p.m. Central Time. “While talking to my CEO, I found out he is the supervisor of the chain crew for the Cowboys,” Robertson said. “I mentioned that I had helped my local school on the chain crew,” he added. “I told him my wife grew up next door to a guy that played at Tennessee and is on the chain crew for the Cowboys.” The connection was made and Robertson was asked if he would like to work a Dallas preseason game. “I said heck yes. So, on the 24th, I will be on the sidelines of an NFL game after leaving GHS 44 years ago.” Robertson was a four-sport athlete … football, basketball, track and golf, at Gallatin R-5. All-conference in football and basketball, he played tailback and safety, returned punts and kicks and kickoffs for the Bulldogs during his senior year. In basketball, he averaged 15.9 points per game as a junior and 19.7 as a senior on an 18-8 Bulldog squad. Further research yielded the fact that Robertson scored the final GHS touchdown of the 1974 season which helped defeat then #7 ranked Princeton, 19-14. Danny has fond memories of coaches and teammates during his four years at GHS. “I was fortunate to have two of the greatest basketball coaches in Ed Weissenbach and David Michael,” he said. “Then there were all the athletes I had the privilege to compete with and those I wanted to be like,” he adds.

SEASON PASS

“Watching Phil Gooding, Rich Reynolds, Dennis Morrissey, Howard Weldon and Phil Houghton on a team that went to state … I was hooked.” Robertson went to the state basketball playoffs his sophomore year on a team that also included Keith Morrissey, Kenny Youtsey, Bob Bird and Danny McBroom. He also mentions classmates in athletics … Johnny Wright, Stan Searcy, Jerry Watson, Rick Lewis, Bob Bird, Keith Gay, Sherman Phelps, Gerald Olney, David Rains and Dean Rhodes. “No matter how many games we won or lost, you always knew each one of them had your back.” Many “old timers” can remember the 90-0 football thrashing Gallatin received at the hands of Cameron in the opening game of the 1971 season. Danny, as the team’s #3 quarterback, remembers it all too well. “I remember as a freshman I’m on the sidelines with my friend, Johnny Wright, and we’re talking about how glad we are not being out there,” Danny relates. “As luck would have it, the first and second string quarterbacks, Keith Morrissey and David Tolen, each got hurt the first half. To this day, I have never forgiven them,” he jokes. “I was next in line to play quarterback, but I was too scared to speak and tailback Steve Searcy called all the plays for me in the huddle. Junior Stith caught a lot of my passes … three yard slants across the middle because that was as far as I could throw it.” Just a couple of weeks later, Gallatin was awarded a 2-0 forfeit victory for that game by the high school activities association. Cameron had fielded an ineligible player that suited up without having enough practices to be eligible. Robertson and his wife Sharon have two daughters, Courtney, a nurse, and Brittany, a Special Education teacher. Danny has mostly worked in the heavy equipment field since leaving Gallatin and for many years has worked for Darr Equipment Company, the largest Caterpillar Forklift Dealership in North America. Outside of his job, Danny has a special project that he devotes all of his time to. He has established a special non-profit in honor of his father, Lee, who attended school in Jameson. “In my dad’s memory, I have started a non-profit

called “Being There,” Danny says. “We offer volunteers to be with cancer patients who are alone during their chemo treatments. We are a couple of months away from opening the doors and supporting the Sammons Cancer Center of Baylor in Dallas as they serve nearly 9,000 patients,” he said, adding that he has also been in contact with cancer care volunteers in the Kansas City area. The organization’s website is in the process of being built but if anyone would like more information about the Being There mission or if they would like to volunteer in the Kansas City area, they may contact Danny at beingpresentwithyou@gmail.com.

Gallatin Teachers (continued from page 9)

NCMC Upward Bound students recently participated in the 2019 UB Summer Component. Pictured are Upward Bound students on the NCMC campus during the summer component.

UB students participate in summer component

North Central Missouri College Upward Bound (UB) high school students from Trenton, Galt, Hamilton, Gallatin, Chillicothe, and Jamesport recently spent five weeks on the NCMC campus participating in academically and culturally enhancing activities through the UB Summer Component. Upward Bound is a collegeprep program designed to assist participants in their preparation for college through academic, mentoring, cultural enrichment, and financial lit-

eracy activities. Each summer, Upward Bound students live on the North Central Missouri College campus and participate in activities designed to prepare them for higher education. “Upward Bound provides a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for local high school students,” said Janet Pultz-Trio Director. “Not only do they improve their academic skills and get a taste of college life, but they also travel, meet new friends, and have some truly unique experiences.” Some of the activities includ-

ed academic classes ranging from Spanish, History, Biology, Chemistry, Math, Creative Writing, Art, and Computer Coding designed to prepare them for the next year of school and beyond. Recent UB high school graduates enrolled in NCMC college courses where they were able to receive mentoring, tutoring, and enrollment assistance. Students also participated in college visits, cultural trips, and team-building activities. At the end of the summer component, participants went on a six-day

trip to Orange Beach Alabama with stops also at the US Space and Rocket Center and the Naval Aviation Museum. Upward Bound will soon be recruiting in their service area school districts (Trenton, Galt, Hamilton, Gallatin, Chillicothe, Jamesport) for incoming participants. To learn more about the Upward Bound program, visit www.ncmissouri.edu or contact Upward Bound at 660-359-3948 x1348, or your high school guidance counselor.

Do you need a break? Go outside! Nature helps! Work or school have you stressed? Need a break from the mundane? The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) recommends taking a dose of nature at least once a day to refresh and de-stress. Numerous studies have linked spending time outdoors to an increase in overall physical health. Being outside has been proven to reduce heart rate, blood pressure, fatigue, and reduces the risk of Type 2 diabetes. “I prescribe nature,” said Jefferson City-based Wellness Practitioner Dianna Richardson. Richardson holds a doctorate in Naturopathy and has been treating patients for nearly 30 years. Research has found that the

average American spends as much as 12 hours a day in front of a screen, whether it be scrolling through social media on a smartphone, watching television, or using a computer. Too much time on devices can lead to a weight gain, chronic neck and back pain, vision issues, and poor sleep. “We are over-stimulating our brains with constant screentime, which causes stress, causes chronic fatigue – all of these negative responses,” Richardson explained. “If we get into nature, we can undo a lot of that damage.” Not only does nature help physical health, but it has a tremendous impact on mental health, too. Richardson notes

that being outside helps reduce stress, anxiety, and depression. “Right now in the world, 400 million people are struggling with some sort of mental health issue,” Richardson said. “A lot of symptoms associated with mental health issues can be improved simply by getting outside.” One tremendous benefit of nature is sunlight. Moderate exposure to sunlight increases the brain’s release of serotonin, prompts the body to make Vitamin D, and can help with getting a restful night’s sleep. “Most of us are inside, in a cubicle or office, anywhere from 8 to 10 hours a day,” said Richardson. “It’s not healthy. We need sunlight and fresh air. Even taking the long way home, a drive in the country can be beneficial.”

Reaping health benefits of nature can be as easy as spending time in your own backyard. Connect with the outdoors by planting native plants, reading a book in a hammock, or hanging a hummingbird feeder. Enjoy nature at a park by having a picnic, throwing a frisbee with some pals, or simply by getting in some steps with your fourlegged friend. Need more ideas on how to spend time in the great outdoors? Visit MDC’s Things to Do page at https://nature.mdc. mo.gov/discover-nature/activities to discover everything from floating and fishing, to geocaching and woodworking. To learn more about outdoor skills and activities, check out MDC’s free programs at https://mdc. mo.gov/events-s3.

Go batty at Crowder! Crowder State Park will host a program on bats from 8:30 to 9:30 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 24, at the park’s campground amphitheater. During the program, park staff will share interesting facts about these flying mammals and about the bats that make the park their home. Participants are encouraged to dress appropriately for the weather and bring insect repel-

lent. Crowder State Park is located west of Trenton off Highway 146. For more information about the event, call the Crowder State Park at 660-359-6473.

Rotary accepts Literacy Challenge

SUBSCRIBE TODAY!

The Rotary Club of Gallatin has accepted the HornerGladhart District 6040 Literacy Challenge for 2019-2020. This challenge encourages clubs to promote literacy in their community by successfully completing three requirements in three different categories. These categories include educating the club about the impact of literacy, investing in literacy, and volunteering to improve literacy in their community. The benefits of childhood literacy are numerous and include improved brain development, communication skills, linguistic

skills, comprehension, attention span, and academic success. Early reading with a child ignites their creativity, curiosity and imagination and instills a healthy sense of self-confidence. Although this challenge focuses primarily on childhood literacy, it is important to note that there are also many forms of adult literacy which include visual, cultural, multicultural, functional, technological, scientific and numeracy literacy. To date, the Rotary Club of Gallatin has completed five of the nine activities required to meet the challenge. Visit their Facebook page for more information.

The children brought their backpacks to the altar, and they were blessed by the pastor and the congregation. Pastor Brad’s message “Profession of Connection: Presence!” was based on Hebrews 10:19-25. The congregation was served communion the pastor, assisted by Bill Hunt. All children preschool through college should sign up for their

by Pastor Steve Ellison God asks an interesting question in Proverbs 31, verse 10, “An excellent wife, who can find?” NASU Verse 10 begins a poem that ends with verse 31. This poem lists in great detail many wonderful qualities which if practiced would result in producing an excellent wife, whose worth would be far above jewels. The Proverbs 31 poem begins by pointing out that trust is a necessary ingredient in a wife (it is obvious that most of these points apply equally as well to husbands). The excellent wife will work hard and do good… all the days of her life. The excellent wife is one who makes sure that there is ample food in the house and distributes it fairly. The excellent wife plans ahead and invests wisely, using the profits more wisely still. The excellent wife takes precautions to protect her own health and to keep herself physically strong. The excellent wife readies the household for the inevitable time of hardship that will come due to bad weather or famine. She keeps the household in a position to be generous to the poor. The excellent wife makes sure the family has adequate clothing, but she knows that the strength of her character is more important than physical clothing. The excellent wife builds up the reputation of her husband so that he is respected in the community. The excellent wife speaks words of wisdom and kindness. The excellent wife will love, nurture, train, and discipline her children with consistency. Because of that training, they will grow up and shower her with respect and blessing. The excellent wife will fear (respect) the Lord. The fruit of her love, the works of her hands, the dignity of her character, will cause her husband to burst into a song of praise blessing her. Proverbs 31:10 asks, “An excellent wife, who can find?” (NASU) Is there one anywhere to be found? Why aren't there more? Excellent wives and excellent husbands do not just appear from out of nowhere, by accident. An excellent wife or husband is one who was trained by godly parents. As parents we have a responsibility to God and to our children's future spouses to train our daughters and sons in the ways of the Lord. If you have a daughter, Proverbs 31 is a good place to start to train her. Surely there are other godly traits not found in this chapter, but if you get your daughter to incorporate into her life all that is here, you will have accomplished a great thing. Proverbs 31:10 asks, “An excellent wife, who can find?” (NASU) Surely, it is a difficult search indeed. As parents, we have a responsibility to God and to our children to consistently pray for the future spouses of our children. Your sons and daughters will be looking for mates. Will they have the wisdom to look for the right person, in the right places, with the right qualities, a godly person? We need to be praying for wisdom and discipline for our children as they search for a life partner. Choosing Christ as Lord and Savior is our most important decision. Choosing a spouse is our second most important decision. It is bewildering to contemplate how little time and effort and prayer is invested in this incredibly important, life-long decision. Your actions have a great impact on how the question “An excellent wife, who can find?” is answered. Will excellent wives and husbands be available? Will your daughters and sons know how and where to look? And what qualities to look for? The implications for training and choosing wisely are immeasurable for the individual couples, but also for our families, churches, schools, communities, and nation.

A “photo finish” between Graffiti and Hope-It-Don’t-Sink

Well, if it looks like a duck...

Death Mode capsized several times but kept on racing

Lake Viking Marine Cardboard Boat Race by Troy Lesan

The 6th Annual Lake Viking Marine Cardboard Boat Race was held Aug. 3 with all proceeds going to the Wounded Warrior Project. The Titanic Award, which goes to the most spectacular sinking, went to a boat appropriately named Death Mode. Death Mode never actually sank, but true to its name, it appeared to die several times when it capsized and rolled over. Yet, each time the boat’s pilots uprighted the boat and kept in the race, even racing in the second heat. This year’s boat race consisted of three divisions – Pee Wee, Teen, and Adult – with two heats in each division. All the races were good hard-fought contests, but the teen division featured the closest finish ever for a cardboard boat race. It was neck and neck between Hope-It-Don’t-Sink and Graffiti. Hope-It-Don’t-Sink seemed to be on the way to victory until Weston Edwards and his cousin, Maggie Morris, put on a power

rowing display and surged to the finish line and won by . . . 1/10 of a second! The original designs were wide ranging, from Wade 121, sharp, streamlined, and a bright red and black, to a locomotive-like dynamo with smoke coming out of its chimney, to ugly ducks and one craft that resembled the Safety Water Patrol Boat, complete with fake infraction tickets given by the pilots. After the race, reporter and photographer Troy Lesan received an infraction ticket for “taking too many pictures” and Randy Tague was also issued a citation for “talking too loud” (in Randy’s defense, he had to talk loud and needed every decibel he could get from his megaphone). It was another big crowd for a wonderful Lake Viking event. The Cardboard Boat Race was preceded by a bike race and a 10K run, and all proceeds collected benefit the Wounded Warrior Project. -- photos by Troy Lesan & Jeff Hower

Fake Patrol was a crowd pleaser

No worry of a dangerous wake from this one

Randy Tague served as both chef and the event’s emcee

Once again, a big crowd was on hand for this great annual event.
