Aug. 30 sign-up deadline for emergency assistance to flooded farms Farmers affected by flooding have until Aug. 30 to apply for help from USDA emergency assistance programs, says University of Missouri Extension livestock specialist Heather Conrow. The USDA Farm Service Agency provides up to 75% of approved renovation costs, to a maximum of $500,000, through its Emergency Conservation Program, says Conrow, who was part of a team of MU Extension specialists and USDA representatives that recently presented four workshops in areas affected by Missouri River flooding this spring. Through emergency funding and technical assistance, FSA helps farmers and ranchers renovate farmland after flood and
drought. Special rules apply to socially disadvantaged producers. The program does not help with sand removal under six inches or projects costing less than $1,000. County FSA committees determine eligibility through on-site inspections. They cover commercial farming, ranching and orchard operations; nursery stock and Christmas tree farms; livestock grazing areas; and conservation structures such as waterways, terraces, diversions and windbreaks. Before beginning any work, visit with FSA and Natural Resources Conservation Service representatives in county offices. FSA representatives must perform on-site inspections before
any cleanup begins. Take photos to document damage. Most of all, do not begin any work below the “plow zone” until after an FSA visit. The NRCS Emergency Watershed Protection Program (EWPP) helps groups with a common problem. Cities, counties, general improvement districts or conservation districts may be eligible. EWPP covers up to 75% of construction costs for most restoration efforts, including levee repair, logjam removal, streambank stabilization near roads and sediment removal from drainage districts. EWPP projects must reduce threats to life and property. The program also purchases floodplain easements. (continued on page 3)
Local residents chosen as Missouri Farm Family for Daviess County
Lance and Beth Rains and family of Gallatin were among the families honored during the 61st annual Farm Family Day held Aug. 12 at the Missouri State Fair. The Rains family was selected as the Daviess County Farm Family by University of Missouri Extension in Daviess County and the local Farm Bureau.The family includes their children Jarod, a junior at the University of Missouri majoring in electrical engineering; and Jenna, a junior at Gallatin High School. Each year, the fair sets aside a day to recognize farm families from across the state that are active in their communities, involved in agriculture, and/or participate in local outreach and extension programs such as 4-H or FFA. The annual event is sponsored by five partner agencies:
the Missouri Farm Bureau, the Missouri Department of Agriculture, the Missouri State Fair Commissioners, the MU College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources, and MU Extension and Engagement. This year, all 114 Missouri counties plus the City of St. Louis participated, honoring nearly 500 people from the 115 farm families. The event showcases the impact Missouri Farm Families have on the economy and heritage of the state, said Missouri State Fair Director Mark Wolfe. “These families are involved in agriculture activities in their communities and are active participants in local outreach and extension. As the premier showcase for Missouri agriculture, the Missouri State Fair is most certainly the appropriate place to celebrate these families.”

The French in French toast If you’re worried about employers hiring undocumented works, facial recognition technology, recycling programs that don’t work, rising sea levels across the world, “Red Flag” laws, tariffs on China, the 2020 election or the cost of health care, lighten up. Just ask yourself: Is French toast really French? A guy at my house can shake awake on a Saturday or Sunday morning to slowly fry some of bacon to perfection, scramble the eggs with a hot side of hash browns and put it on the plate just when the toast pops up hot — only to hear some sleepy eyed, barefoot waif ask if there’s any French toast. We’ve got eight grandkids with another on the way, so there are times when breakfast is about as big a meal as it gets …except all the kids really want is a bowl of cereal and, you guessed it, French toast. As if you should care, French toast actually began thousands of years ago with the invention of leavened bread. Some say the first raised bread was made when an alcoholic beverage or fermented honey was accidentally added to flatOff the Editor’s Spike... bread dough. Others credit the Egyptians with the invention when they discovered that kneading the dough with their feet made the dough rise due to the natural yeast between their toes (toe jam, anyone?). As unpalatable as it may sound, this by Darryl Wilkinson softer bread was so valued that Egyptian workers were often paid with bread at the end of the day. Thus, history’s first “breadwinners!” Next, the Romans imparted the wisdom of using a process called “tostum” where bread would be scorched or burned. The idea of warming bread with direct flames or hot stones spread throughout the Roman Empire, from Africa to Britain. From “tostum” came the modern name, toast. French toast is a way to revive day old bread. As you know, you just dip the dry bread in batter made of eggs and milk, then fry. One of the earliest records of French toast comes from the British court of Henry V when it was referred to as “pain perdu” (lost bread). Given the French name, it is likely that Henry brought it back with him after his victory at Agincourt. If you wander over to browse your cookbooks, I’ll bet you will find several variations and ways of serving French toast. Most suggest cinnamon. American cookbooks began listings in the late 1800s. Other names for the tasty treat is still Old World, such as “Poor Knights of Windsor” or “Nun’s Toast.” We still use old bread for French toast at our house. Many recipes, and restaurants known for the specialty, rarely suggest use of leftover, lost bread. The folks that operate the International House of Pancakes say that no other country has embraced French toast like America. Don’t get me wrong. I like French toast, too. Or, truth be told, I take the toast for the maple syrup – pancakes and French toast is about the only time we heat up the sticky stuff in the microwave. Given a choice, I prefer fresh yeast rolls and loaf breads, you know, the kind with aromas that make you think you’re at grandma’s house as soon as you step inside the door. The gal that still makes these breads from scratch is the kind of gal men toast (and other women roast). I didn’t think to ask Anne (Foley) Rauth, our recipe columnist, about French toast, but surely there’s not much more to say. So, now I wonder... what about English muffins?
Helping our teachers, proposal to double tax deduction By Congressman Sam Graves With kids heading back to school, parents are scrambling to pack lunches, double-check school supply lists, and make sure everyone gets where they need to be on time—right after snapping some first day of school photos. At the same time, teachers are busy preparing for a successful school year. Preparing lesson plans, arranging classrooms, stocking supplies, and so much more—all to help prepare a healthy learning environment for our children. Often teachers dig into their own pocket to make sure all students have the supplies necessary for a successful school year. On average, they spend $479 a year on everything from tissues
to crayons to pencils and notebooks. That’s just the average with some spending far more of their hard-earned money purchasing supplies that would otherwise not be provided for their classrooms. Currently, teachers can deduct $250 of the cost of the supplies they purchase for their classroom. Obviously, many of them are spending far more than that. To help cover those costs, I am proposing we double the income tax deduction for full-time teachers to $500. This would bring the amount they can deduct more in line with what they are actually spending on classroom supplies. Currently, the deduction is limited to elementary and secondary education teachers. However, with the growth
of early childhood education, it only makes sense for pre-school teachers at state-recognized schools to also be able to deduct their expenses. Many schools rely on teachers who only work part-time. Those teachers aren’t currently eligible to take the deduction either. My proposal would make them eligible, for the first time, to take the deduction on up to $250 of expenses. Teachers are on the front lines of our children’s futures. They devote their time, energy, heart and soul to our kids. Yet, we ask them to also kick in a bit of their money to ensure a quality classroom learning experience. Our teachers joyfully shoulder the burden of educating our children; the least we can do is help them cover much of that cost.

A perfect (quirky) football fit this year: Missouri begins adventurous season with a trip to Wyoming By Benjamin Herrold Sometimes, the opening game of a college football season is a perfect fit. That seems to be the case this year, when Missouri opens the season with a grand adventure, traveling to Laramie to face Wyoming on Saturday (6:30 p.m. on CBS Sports Network). It’s a different kind of venue and a different way to start a season, in one of college football’s delightful and quirky corners. The Wyoming Cowboys’ War Memorial Stadium is situated 7,220 feet above sea level, the highest Division I college football stadium in the country. There is no place in college football quite like
it. Likewise, Missouri is embarking on a season unlike any they’ve had. The Tigers are still waiting for a ruling on their appeal of NCAA sanctions, most of all whether their postseason ban for this year will be lifted. Word on that could come at any time during the season, or maybe not during the season at all, and it’s anybody’s guess what will happen. Adding to that unique flair, Missouri is in the fairly new situation of having a quarterback, Kelly Bryant, who has come to MU for a single season after transferring from Clemson. His selection of Missouri over other
power programs was cause for celebration among Tiger fans, and the anticipation has built over the season and how Bryant will fare replacing Drew Lock. Missouri has a chance to build momentum as the season gets going; the Tigers will be heavy favorites at Wyoming and then play five straight home games over the following six weeks. After that long homestand come winnable road games at Vanderbilt and Kentucky. Sure, there are plenty of games where the Tigers could stumble, and fourth year coach Barry Odom has still not beaten South Carolina or Kentucky, but it doesn’t take much imagination to see how
Missouri could get to 8-0 heading into what would be an epic showdown at Georgia in November. A tough game with Florida follows that one. In addition to the schedule, the Tigers have talent to make some noise. Bryant had success at Clemson, and he is surrounded by a good compliment of receivers and running backs. An experienced offensive line protects him, led by Tre’Vour Wallace-Sims, Yasir Durant and Trystan Colon-Castillo. It’s probably not riveting column writing to suggest a right guard might be the team’s best player, but Wallace-Sims was First Team allSEC last year and really might
be Missouri’s best player. The Tiger defense has some question marks, and needs some defensive line playmakers to emerge. Missouri does return its top tackler from last year, linebacker Cale Garrett. So now we saddle up and head west to begin the adventure of another college football season, ready to fight for oxygen and a win against those Wyoming Cowboys. This could be a special season for Missouri, or it could unravel amid NCAA sanction uncertainties and the rigors of an SEC football season. All we know is that on Saturday, finally, after months and months of offseason, the journey begins.
Bagworms can defoliate your trees By Tim Baker, MU Regional Horticulturist Recently, I have been getting many calls about bagworms, so I thought it might be a good idea to write another column about these pests and the best way to control them. Bagworms can occur on a variety of trees and shrubs. These infestations range from minor to severe. A severe case of bagworms on a small tree can easily defoliate the tree, so it pays to keep them under control. Bagworms are actually the larva of a moth, Thyridopteryx ephemeraeformis. It is very common on evergreens, but can also attack deciduous trees. Bagworms hatch in June in northwest Missouri. The eggs overwinter in the protective bag. When they emerge, they are tiny, and very difficult to see. However, once they emerge from their bags, they are most easily controlled. It’s best to apply control measures at this time, before they have a chance to form their own bag. Tim Baker When they start to feed, they also start forming a new bag, which they carry along with them. The bag increases its size as it grows. The bag itself is silken-like, with pieces of leaves and twigs attached to the outside to offer camouflage protection. They carry this bag along with them throughout their entire life. By mid-August, the bagworm has finished feeding, and firmly attaches the bag to a branch, closing it up. It then pupates. By mid-September, pupation is complete, and adult males emerge from the bag. These are clearwing moths. The males fly to other infested plants, seeking a
mate. The females, however, remain inside their bags. The adult female does not look like a moth. She lacks eyes, antennae, wings, legs, and functional mouth parts. She looks more like a maggot than a moth. After mating, she lays between 500 and 1000 eggs inside her bag, and then dies. Next June, those eggs will hatch, and the cycle starts over again. Although some birds and insect predators feed upon bagworms, you will need to consider some means of control, if you have a large infestation. For small trees, hand picking them is the easiest method. If the tree is larger than what you can pick from the ground, you will need some type of spray equipment and use either a chemical or biological control. If the tree is very tall, this presents a problem, because it takes specialized (and expensive) equipment to reach the heights of large trees. And if you can’t treat the entire tree, those bagworms left untouched will re-infest the tree each year. If you would like to use a biological or organic control, Bt (Bacillus thuringiensis) is your best bet. This material effectively incorporates a caterpillar disease which the bagworms contract and eventually die. If chemical control is your preferred method, there are several labeled chemicals available. Liquid Carbaryl (Sevin) is labeled, and should work well. The trick with any control, biological or chemical, is getting good coverage. The best time to spray is in June, when the newlyemerged larvae start crawling, and before they have had time to start making their own protective bag. Control after that may not be as effective, but if they are still feeding, it’s worth a try. Once they stop feeding in mid-August, spraying won’t help.

Flood Assistance NRCS offering more than $9 million to restore flood-prone lands NRCS recently announcing the availability of $9 million to fund conservation easements in 69 Missouri counties (including Daviess) damaged by flooding and other natural disasters. NRCS field offices are accepting applications through Oct. 18. Through the EWP-FPE program, eligible applicants voluntarily agree to sell a permanent conservation easement to the United States through NRCS. Compensation is based on the value of the easement as determined by an appraisal or market analysis. These easements may occur on public or private agricultural land or residential properties damaged by flooding and natural disasters. NRCS will work to restore the easement to its natural floodplain condition. For more information, contact the NRCS state conservation engineer at 573-876-0910 or visit your local NRCS office.

Three stages There are three stages of soil restoration after a flood, says Kent Shannon, MU Extension agricultural engineering specialist. First, remove debris and soil sediment. Second, prevent further erosion using cover crops and other methods. Third, evaluate nutrient needs. Drones can help with assessing areas that are too wet to reach. Shannon also uses the website www. planet.com to review daily aerial images of land before and after flooding. You can renovate farmland with sand deposits of 0-2 inches through normal tillage, he says. Land with deposits 2-6 inches deep benefit from tillage with a chisel plow or moldboard plow. Spread or remove deposits of 7-8 inches. Shannon says sand depth can
be measured using a soil electrical conductivity test. When working on sand-covered soils, keep in mind that tractors and other earth-moving equipment can only do about half what they do on undamaged soil. You need more horsepower due to limited traction. Plant cover crops to protect soils from wind and water erosion and crusting. Cover crops also put critical nutrients back into the soil, he says. Shannon and other MU Extension specialists are available on a limited basis to use drones for aerial surveys of flood-damaged fields. Contact your county MU Extension center for more information. “The degree of damage dictates the process required to bring the soil back to its pre-flood condition,” says MU Extension agronomist Todd Lorenz.
Neely announces candidacy for governor Missouri State Representative James “Jim” Neely of Cameron has announced his candidacy for Governor of the State of Missouri.

He has introduced a large number of House Bills, and has served on a number of important House Committees. He entered government service due to his recognition that State Government did not always meet the needs of everyday people. His legislative focus has touched on many important issues such as healthcare, education, mental health and criminal justice issues. His initial run for
election in 2012 was motivated by his desire to aid in the protection of children. Neely graduated from the University of Missouri in Columbia, and the Kansas City University of Medicine and Biosciences. In addition, he has a strong background in Accounting. As a physician, he works with geriatric patients out of Cameron Regional Medical Center. He is a veteran of the United States Army and lives in Cameron. He and his wife, Sandra, raised four children.

Bulldogs hope to build upon 2018 football success Cautious optimism aside, the Gallatin Bulldogs were, for the second year in a row, the dominant team in last Friday’s fourteam football jamboree held at West Platte High School. Gallatin’s varsity defense did not allow a score against Plattsburg, West Platte and Mid-Buchanan. On the flip side, quarterback Brinley Vandiver threw two touchdown passes to JJ Waters and one each to Aidan Adkison and Drayton Harris. Freshman jayvee quarterback Payton Feiden also tossed a scoring pass to freshman receiver Isaac Bird. Jacob Maize caught a pass on the final play of the jayvee series against West Platte and was forced out of bounds at the 3-yard line. The Bulldog ground game featured strong running by Adkison, who scored once against West Platte’s defense and nearly found the end zone again versus Mid-Buchanan before losing the football at the 1-yard line. In a jayvee series against the Dragons, Jagger Gray had a touchdown called back due to a holding penalty. Senior Haden Bradford tweaked an ankle but is expected to be fine for Friday night’s home opener against North Platte. Gallatin returns a solid group of players from last season’s squad that finished 6-1 in the Grand River Conference and 8-3 overall. The Bulldogs were #2 in the league scoring offense and scoring defense. “We have a great group of young men returning for us,” says Head Coach Patrick Treece. “We have eight seniors who will all start on at least one side of the ball and have a lot of varsity experience to their name,” he added. Senior starters include Tom Crouse, center and defensive end, who has anchored the Bulldog lines for the better part of three previous seasons. “Tom has been a visible leader of our offensive and defensive lines,” his coach commented.

Mums the word --- silent auction donations needed Go Bulldogs! The price is $12. Order forms may be picked up at the Gallatin High School, ordered off the Gallatin Prom-Lock-In Facebook, or by texting Vera Nelson at 660-334-1223. Remember, Homecoming is scheduled for Sept. 27 and order forms are now available. Prom Lock-In will again hold its annual “silent auction” during the Gallatin Invitational Basketball Tournament set for Dec. 2-7. Donations for items are now being accepted and encouraged from local businesses, families and friends to help with the cost of the after prom lock-in event. Items or donations may be left at the Gallatin School with Amy McNeely, or at the State Farm Agency with Tiffany Tadlock. Prom Lock-In parents are asking for the community support to help make the after prom in 2020 a fun and safe experience for our teens.
Gallatin Homecoming will be held Sept. 27 and the Prom LockIn Committee is once again selling Homecoming Mums — these floral decorations have been a colorful expression of the homecoming spirit through the generations, including the seventies, eighties and nineties. Prom night is one of the deadliest nights for teenagers across the country. The Lock-In Committee has concentrated their efforts on giving students an alternative to alcohol and drug related parties on prom night. With generous support from the community and surrounding area businesses and parents, this year’s event can be another huge success. Not only does the Committee encourage and invite Bulldog fans to buy a mum for homecoming, but also encourages businesses to participate and purchase these mums for their female employees — and show their GHS Homecoming Spirit.

Rodell Sperry makes a tackle from his linebacker position. “He brings a great deal of experience and knowledge with him that he shares with our younger linemen. Tom has been consistently dominant over his career on the OL and at DE and has always played with phenomenal toughness and grit.” Other senior starters include Waters (DE, TE), Bradford (RB, SS), Harris (WR, KB), Landon Corwin (RT, LB), Adkison (RB,CB, KR, PR), Ross Critten (WR,CB, KR, PR) and Tristen Gibson (FS, P, K). Returning junior starters include Gage Wright (LB) and
Jonathan Carder (RG, DT). Vandiver (QB) and Carson Lang (LT, DT) represent the sophomore class in the starting lineup. Gabe Parker (LG) is the lone freshman starter for the Bulldogs. “For us to be successful, we are going to have to be in excellent shape,” he advised. “We have almost everyone playing both sides of the ball and most special teams. Conditioning has been a focal point this summer and preseason because we have to be ready to roll early on with a tough slate of games,” he adds.
North Daviess board takes voluntary rollback on tax rate, duties finalized
The North Daviess School Board decided to take a voluntary rollback on the tax rate and set it at last year’s 5.2838, which was lower than recommended, in order to help ease the burden on taxpayers. During the Tax Rate Hearing held Aug. 19, Superintendent Dan Street recommended the tax rate be set at 5.4059 due the nearly $200,000 drop in assessed valuation. Discussion was held on what overall revenue would be generated at 5.4095 verse if the district kept the same tax rate as last year at 5.2838.

“It’s probably going to be an ever-changing rotation throughout the year,” Coach Ray advised. Captains for this year’s squad are senior Madalyn Shubert and juniors Caragan Baker and Carli Beck. Following are possible position alignments from a group of potential starters: Seniors: Madalyn Shubert, second base, first base; Aubrey Burns, third base; and Macie McNeely, second base; Juniors: Caragan Baker, shortstop and pitcher; Carli Beck, outfield, first base; Maddi Michael, outfield, catcher; McKinley Waters, outfield; Alli Baker, outfield; Freshman: Ella Bradford, pitcher, first base; Addie Riley, catcher, outfield; and Presley Wells, outfield, shortstop and third base.
Hit hard by graduation last spring, Gallatin’s softball outlook for 2019 will only get clearer as the season progresses, says Head Coach Courtney Ray. “Obviously, we’re going to be a very youthful team,” she says after having to replace six starters from a year ago. “We have been working on getting fundamentally sound so that we’re ready to make the routine plays,” Coach Ray commented. “I am excited to see how this group improves as the season goes on and their experience increases.” Questions remain right up to next Tuesday’s home opener against Milan as to who will fill positions on the diamond. Last Friday’s jamboree helped coaches move players around to different spots in a gametype setting.

Wind, ‘weed’ and washouts occupy county commissioners The commissioners received a call from Ingrid Labazzetta, Monroe Township resident. She is concerned about a portion of 235th Street and the damage caused by all the rain we have had recently. The commissioners will check into it. Ronetta Burton, county clerk, updated the commissioners on issues and concerns expressed with the Windstream towers that are being erected in the county for the new wireless internet. She also updated the Commission on information received from Ivan Schraeder, county attorney, regarding the new medical marijuana regulations and the impact on the Counties. There are changes that will eventually need to be discussed in regards to personnel policies. The commissioners received a complaint on brush on Grate Ave in Grand River Township. The commissioners will drive that road to inspect the brush. Randy Railsback, Green Hills Regional Planning Commission (GHRPC), updated the commission on the mitigation funds that may be available. He informed the commission to plan and think of projects. FEMA and SEMA are behind, but this will give them time to come up with projects to apply for. Railsback will then work with FEMA to get their projects approved. Randy Railsback, along with David Roll, emergency management director, discussed a couple projects in the County they have been working on. Mike Arnold asked the commission to call him at a later date to discuss the flag requirements. David Cox made a motion to go into closed session pursuant to legal issues. Gerald Franks, Monroe Township resident, called the commission about a road that is washed out after the rain on 218th Street. The commission will look at it this afternoon. The Commissioners discussed personnel and cleaning issues. Issue continued for two weeks. In the afternoon the commissioners inspected roads, bridges, culverts, brush and noxious
Daviess County Commissioners decided to wait on second notice brush letCOMMISSION ters until next week during their meeting held Aug. 21. This will give them time to check on properties that have notified they have cut brush, but they will continue to send out new brush letters to residents in Daviess County. James Lewis, Bridge Supervisor, met with the commission to update them on ongoing work. They are finished on K Hwy. His crew will be working on the bridge on Jump Road in Jamesport township this week, weather permitting. Minutes from last week were approved. Bills were approved. The commission discussed a date for the Salary Commission meeting. They are waiting on a few more office holders to let them know when they are available. Issue continued until next week. The county clerk updated the commission on Tyler surveying and what the process and rules are regarding this state program. Ronetta Burton, county clerk, advised the commission she had updated her files on the appointments for the Serve Link Board. Missy Tolen was the last appointment, her term will end in 2020. Sally Black, assessor, brought the commissioners a list of authorized officials with the Missouri Office of Administration that needs updated with current office holders. The county clerk will update this list. She also asked when to expect the additional county vehicle to be available. The commissioners expect it will be the end of August. She wanted to know if the vehicle will be available for everyone, and the commission updated her on what the new vehicle policy consists of. Assessor Black stated she is ready for a new vehicle, as she considers the other county vehicle unreliable. She plans to be all over the county assessing new construction. The commissioners discussed a few road and culvert issues regarding Salem Township. COUNTY

In a few days, my wife and I will celebrate our 63rd wedding anniversary. During those years, we purchased and lived in four different dwellings. In every instance, the house we purchased was not exactly what we wanted, but we said, “We will make this do.” Looking back, we believe God had a hand in those decisions. Despite our initial reluctance, each home provided its own special blessings for us. This year on May 1, we moved to yet another house in another town. Our children are grown with families of their own, and we decided to downsize. We purchased a home half the size of the one where we had lived for 15 years. The experience has been like the father of the bride trying to get into his high school tuxedo. Without a doubt, this has been the most difficult of all our moves. Sitting in the floor staring at all the boxes and misplaced furniture, we consoled each other by Bro. Wade Paris remembering God has directed our moves in the past, and He surely was directing this one. To that end I have committed Proverbs 16:9 to memory, “In his heart a man determines his course, but the Lord determines his steps.” No doubt, the Lord expects us to plan ahead and make the wisest choices possible. Yet, God's people welcome God's intervention and adjustments to our plans. The book of James puts it this way, “Don't say, tomorrow I will go here or there and do this or that. Instead, say if the Lord wills, tomorrow I will do this or that.” (James 4:13ff) That may seem unpleasant if your heart is set on some desirable endeavor; but remember, God's changes always make things better. In the middle of Peter's mission, God adjusted Peter's plans. Cornelius, a Centurion in Caesarea, directed by an angel, sent servants to Joppa to fetch Simon Peter. Peter, led by a vision from God, joined Cornelius; and the Gospel took a large turn. Peter assumed the Gospel was only for his people, the Jews. But the people in Caesarea were not Jews; they were Gentiles, yet they too were saved. And from there the Gospel spread to all of us around the world. Most everyone who reads this column will have some plans for tomorrow. As you plan, remember, “In his heart a man determines his course, but the Lord determines his steps.” You may email the writer, Dr. Wade Paris, at the following address: parishouse@outlook.com

The vision of CMA…changing the world, one heart at a time the other aisle of pumps, when we stop at a diner to eat, we ask the bus boy if there’s something he would like us to pray for him about.” Keith says one of his more memorable moments was ministering to inmates at the Florence, AZ, prison. “We had a whole circle of inmates singing Amazing Grace,” he says. He adds: “Also, performing weddings for bikers at a rally. Going to Belize in Central America and giving away motorcycles, quads, and bicycles to missionary pastors. Baptizing dear friends into the family of Jesus Christ in church.” The CMA holds an annual fundraiser, Run for the Son. Last year, the Club raised nearly $4.8 million. They give 60% to their missionary partners and use 40% for motorcycle ministry across the world. CMA is a worldwide ministry in 34 countries. The CMA reaches people across the globe and 64 countries through its missionary partners. Its ministry partners are Mis-
sionary Ventures, which supplies transportation to missionaries across the globe — from a motorcycle, to a horse and buggy, and even a camel. Another partnership is called Open Doors which smuggles Bibles into closed countries. A third partner is the Jesus Film Project which has been translated into 1,600 languages across the world and shown in the most remote parts of the world. “For every dollar we raise, 10 people will see the film and one person will come to know Christ,” Keith says. CMA gave each one of its missionary partners a check for $960 some thousand. This money has to be accounted for and used specifically for ministry, not for administration of the organization “A person with CMA contacts a person for Jesus every 41 seconds, 365 days a year, and leads somebody to Jesus every 57 seconds, 365 days a year,” Keith says.
Keith Salyer and his wife Ann, a 1971 graduate of Gallatin High School, recently witnessed to the Jamesport First Baptist Church about the Christian Motorcyclists Association. Keith told the congregation during their Sunday service, that motorcycle ministry is about reaching people others can’t. Not just anybody can preach to a motorcycle club. “Motorcycle ministry is all about respect,” Keith says. “You show them respect, they show you respect. We don’t judge, we don’t look down. It is a ministry where you just can’t come out and start preaching, you have to ride with them, camp with them, and build relationships. They need to know that you are the real deal.” The Christian Motorcyclists Association is an international Christian, interdenominational, non-profit organization established in 1975. Its purpose is evangelizing to the motorcycling community. “The major difference between the Christian Motorcycle Association and many other bikers is Jesus,” Keith says. He and Ann currently belong to the CMA in Apache Junction, AZ, but expects to change to a more local CMA when they move to Daviess County next spring. Keith has been with CMA for 20 years, over 15 years in leadership positions. He was road captain from 2000 to 2005 (five years); vice president in 2005 (one year); chaplain 2008 to 2011 (three years); president from 2011 to 2016 (five years); and is currently serving as chaplain again in 2019. He travels all over the country on his Harley Davidson Ultra Classic and shares the good news about Jesus whenever and wherever he can. “When we stop and pump gas, we witness to the people on
Ann and Keith Salyer are both members of the CMA. Ann is the daughter of the late Perley and Minnie Huffman of rural Daviess County and has lots of family in the area. Keith is the son of Gordon and Sue Salyer and grew up in Kansas City. They live in Arizona but will be moving to Daviess County to be closer to family next spring.
