With ongoing 90-degree temperatures, getting a flu shot is likely not on the radar of Missourians right now. But a Southern California public health system reported a flu-associated death of a four-year-old who had underlying health issues already last week. While seasonal flu viruses are detected year-round in the United States, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says flu activity typically begins to increase in October and peak between December and February. Activity can last as late as May. Flu is a contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses, and can cause mild to severe illness. Serious outcomes can result in hospitalization or death. Some people, such as older people, young children, and people with certain health conditions, are at high risk of serious flu complications. The best way to prevent flu is an annual vaccination.
“While it is extremely important for every Missourian to get their flu shot, it is especially important that those in high-risk groups receive their vaccina-
tion,” said Dr. Randall Williams, DHSS Director. “And while we were encouraged last year by lower incidence rates of flu in Missouri, we cannot let down our guard and skip flu shots, or we may see increased rates of incidence and flu-related deaths in the state.” The groups considered highrisk are: Adults 65 years and older; pregnant women; young children; children with neurologic conditions; and individuals with
these conditions: asthma, heart disease or stroke, diabetes, HIV/ AIDS and/or cancer. Missourians are encouraged to get their flu shot by the end of October, as it can take two weeks for an individual to be protected against the flu. The flu vaccine prevents millions of illnesses and flu-related doctor visits each year. According to the CDC, flu vaccination in the 2017-2018 flu season prevented an estimated 7 million illnesses and more than 100,000 influenza-related hospitalizations nationwide. During the 2018-2019 flu season, Missouri’s flu vaccination rate increased by 14 percent, more than 147,000 doses, from the season prior. Visit the Daviess County Health Dept. at 609A South Main Street in Gallatin; Phone 660-6632414. Tuesday is vaccine walk-in day from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Other days please call for an appointment. Vaccines: Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, MMR, Shingles/zoster, Td, Tdap, Varicella.
Kickin’ Cancer with Kindness unfolds this Saturday evening The Kickin’ Cancer with Kindness committee invites everyone to its annual BBQ block party on Saturday, Sept. 28. The event raises funds for the purchase of gas cards to help cancer patients in Daviess County defray their cost of traveling to and from cancer treatments. The BBQ block party will be 5-6:30 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 28, on Market Street between the lumber company and the Methodist Church. Free will donations are accepted and ALL proceeds from the event go to purchase the gas cards. About 80 silent auction items were donated last year. If you are interested in donating items to the fund-raiser, please contact Nancy Tate or Jane McKinsey. In case of inclement weather the event will be held inside the Gallatin United Methodist Church.
Auditions for musical next Tuesday The Gallatin Theater League will hold auditions for “Gilligan’s Island, The Musical” on Tuesday, Oct. 1, at 6:30 p.m. at Courter Theater in Gallatin. The musical has a cast of four men and four women. For the audition, you will be asked to sing and read a script excerpt.

No injuries, expensive loss due to mechanical issues
Gallatin Fire Protection District was dispatched to Highway HH for a truck on fire at about 11:12 a.m. on Sept. 23 with Engine 101 and Daviess County EMS responding. Firefighters arrived on Highway HH just east of 218th Street to find a rock truck with fire in the en-
Something you won’t see every day Here’s a scene you seldom see, not today and certainly not in yesteryear. All traffic on the Gallatin business square stopped last Saturday as these riders enlivened the re-enactment of the 1869 bank robbery in Gallatin as part of this year’s rain-soaked Chautauqua fall festival. This was the fourth time the James Gang legend was re-enacted here (previously performed in 1971, 1990 and 1991). This photo was taken as the re-enactors took a “final bow” before the crowd estimated at over 500 persons applauded. But such a scene never actually occurred -- Frank and Jesse James, right, were never apprehended by any posse, represented by the four riders left, at any time during their many years of crime.

gine area and cab. A 1-3/4” attack line was deployed for extinguishment. The fire was rapidly knocked down and all areas cooled down using nearly 1,000 gallons of water. The Trager Limestone truck was having mechanical issues; no injuries were reported.
More voices needed for Grand River Choir The Grand River Valley Choir and Orchestra will begin rehearsals on Tuesday, Oct. 22, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the Hodge Presbyterian Church in Trenton. All orchestra positions have been filled. The choir is seeking singers in all voices. Choir selections to be worked on include “Here We Come A-Caroling,” “Linus & Lucy,” “O Come and Sing of Christmas,” “Glory Hallelujah.” Orchestra members will rehearse “Three Noels, Hark!”
“The Herald Angels Sing,” “All Is Calm,” “ It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year.” The choir and orchestra combine to present “When Love Crossed Over” and “Hallelujah Chorus.” If you are interested in joining the choir or for more information, please contact Linda Arnold at arnoldlaw@windstream.net. Mrs. Arnold is conductor of the GRV Choir; Buddy Hannaford is the conductor of the GRV Orchestra.

OPINION
Sept. 25, 2019
Celebrating hometown Hats off to the volunteers who made the 2019 Chautauqua a success despite all that Mother Nature threw at us. It is disappointing, without doubt, when it rains. Despite the mood it creates (when we’ve had so much rain already), rainfall puts all outdoor scheduling at risk. And yet, without question, Gallatin’s fall festival offered another serving of good hometown memories. It’s always dangerous to single out individuals when it takes so many to make Chautauqua a success. But atop anyone’s list is Kate Chrisman, the overall chairman who keeps pumping optimism into the annual affair despite long hours and all the phone calls. Off the Editor’s Spike... the Thank you, Kate – your leadership makes our Chautauqua the envy of many other festivals. James Wilson commented that rain doused the car show, but the 37 entries this year slightly eclipsed last year’s competition. Congratulations, by Darryl Wilkinson James, and thank you for your hard work year after year in making the car show a mainstay of our Chautauqua. Elaine Bohannon and Gallatin Theater League deserve kudos. Elaine packaged a rather long, laborious history written about the 1869 bank robbery into an interesting re-enactment. This isn’t Elaine’s “first rodeo” and her experience directing productions was, once again, on display in a grand way. The melodrama at Courter Theater was a crowd pleaser. Whenever a Theater League play is on the Chautauqua schedule, good times are a guarantee, rain or shine. Compliments, too, go out to the city’s work crew who spruced up the streets and painted the curbs around the square and helped in various ways – not the least being the placement of flag pennants fluttering overhead of Chautauqua activities. It’s great to see our pride showing! Even first time events, when you don’t exactly know what to expect, experienced success. Friday night’s “Glowga” is an example. Yoga sessions led by Allison Spidle under blue “night lights” and the stars attracted a few adult regulars and a surprising number of youngsters, all sharing in exercise fun. And that’s the point. Chautauqua is mostly for the kids, as well as the kid in all of us. Whether it’s the pet show, baby show, or nearly any event listed on the Chautauqua schedule, good hometown memories are being made. It takes an army of volunteers working together to make such a good thing happen. And the measure is not necessarily in crowd numbers but in smiles. If you stayed away from this year’s Chautauqua because of the rain, well, you missed an opportunity to connect with friends and neighbors. It takes a lot of work to pull off such an event as this. We shouldn’t take such effort for granted. There are no guarantees about Chautauqua’s future. On the other hand, there’s a reason the modern festival is now 34 years old and counting. It’s family fun … whether in the rain or under the sun! Whenever it rains on our parade no doubt festival organizers and many participating vendors must wonder if Chautauqua is worth the effort. It is and always will be, as long as people care about our hometown, as long as childhood memories about their hometown matter. Congratulations to Kate Chrisman and to every volunteer – the folks who truly are Friends of Gallatin. Thank you one and all!
Graves Statement on Impeachment Inquiry Following House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s announcement that she will launch a formal impeachment inquiry against President Donald Trump, Congressman Sam Graves released the following statement: “Since the failed Mueller investigation, the liberal majority in Congress has dedicated all of their time to taking down President Trump. Instead of focusing on important things like ratifying the USMCA and passing an infrastructure package, Nancy Pelosi and her caucus have brought everything to a grinding halt over this political game. There are plenty of things that Congress needs to be doing; this definitely isn’t one of them. I strongly oppose this sham impeachment charade.”
Giving back counts
by State Sen. Dan Hegeman
While lawmakers were in Jefferson City during the week of Sept. 9, we discussed the latest appointments to several of Missouri’s boards and commissions. These selections are made by the governor. Each of these individuals must be approved by the Missouri Senate, where we offer our advice and consent. In other words, my colleagues and I review the appointments and determine if the person is qualified to serve on the board or commission to which they have been appointed. This also gave me the opportunity to sponsor an appointee. Mel Tjeerdsma of Maryville is a member of the Northwest
Missouri State University Board of Regents. He graduated from Northwest in 1977. The Missouri Senate Gubernatorial Appointments Committee discussed his appointment on Sept. 12 during the extraordinary legislative session. He was approved by the Missouri Senate just two days later. It is people like Tjeerdsma who give back where they can. In this case, it is on the board of regents. Wherever you think your strong suit is, I encourage you to visit boards.mo.gov for the full list of our state’s boards and commissions. There are plenty of opportunities for you to give back to your community.
Scrutinize the ‘Green New Deal’
by Congressman Sam Graves
It’s time to set the record straight on the Green New Deal. We all thought it was a joke back in February, but now the chickens have come home to roost and we’re marching closer towards this nightmare becoming a reality. Last week, liberals in Washington started acting on their Green New Deal agenda, trying to enact draconian limits on American oil drilling -- jeopardizing American energy independence. These measures, in effect, would raise prices on everyday Americans and increase our reliance on middle-eastern oil -- all part of a desperate ploy to garner support for the disastrous Green New Deal. In another frantic effort to push their agenda forward, one Congresswoman went so far as to claim “the world is going to
end in 12 years” if we don’t pass it. That’s a load of hogwash. All the evidence says that isn’t the case -- and the only impact of the Green New Deal will be the destruction of our economy. The estimated $93 trillion plan could cost American families in some states an estimated average of $70,000 in the first year alone, and only have a minimal impact on the environment. It doesn’t matter, though. The Green New Deal and plans like it aren’t about “saving the planet.” Most of the rambling manifesto is dedicated to a government takeover of our economy. One of the plan’s architects has even admitted the Green New Deal isn’t about the climate, it’s “a how-doyou-change-the-entire-economy thing.” In simpler terms, the Green New Deal isn’t about the environment at all; it’s about making
America a socialist country. Small business optimism is at its highest point in years. Impose an endless list of onerous regulations and new taxes and you can watch that optimism quickly turn to despair. While we all might get a good chuckle out of the notion that folks using plastic straws and eating hamburgers are “part of the problem,” radical proposals like the Green New Deal pose a real threat to our booming economy. This isn’t just about protecting our freedom from the vile plague of paper straws. This isn’t just about protecting American agriculture and air travel. It’s about protecting the promise of the American Dream for our children and generations of Americans to come. This is about protecting the very foundation of freedom in America.
Lessons on anxieties, depression by Stan Popovich
Do you currently struggle with fear and anxiety and wish you could talk to someone who can relate to your situation? If so, I dealt with fear and anxiety for over 20 years and here are some lessons I learned during my mental health struggles. 1. Listen To The Professionals And Not Your Friends: Your friends may mean well, but when it comes down to it, the professionals know your situation more than anyone. They know what you are going through and are trained to deal with your situation. Consult with a counselor when you have questions about your mental health issues. 2. Distance Yourself From People Who Give You A Hard Time: Distance yourself from those people who won’t make an effort to help understand what you are going through. You need to surround yourself with positive and supportive people. I felt better when I avoided those people who would constantly argue with me regarding my anxieties and stresses. 3. Focus On The Facts of Your Situation And Not Your Thoughts: When people are depressed they rely on their fearful and negative thoughts. Your fearful thoughts are exaggerated and are not based on reality. When you are depressed, focus on the facts of your current situation and not on what you think.
4. Learn From Your Experi- to your advantage. For instance, ences: In every anxiety-related you miss the deadline for a projsituation I experienced, I learned ect at work. Suddenly, your boss what worked, what did not work, comes to your office and tells and what I needed to improve on you that the deadline is extended as I managed my fears and anxi- and that he forgot to tell you the eties.

Released electric funds will pay for roof at electric barn Administrator Lance Rains and City Clerk Rains led discussion on finances at the Sept. 23 public meeting of the Gallatin Board of Aldermen. City officers focused on the amount of electric reserve funds that were released after refinancing electric bonds last year. The cash amount deposited in March 2018 was $98,220.31. The board discussed how to spend this sum. The last estimated cost to repair the electric barn roof was approximately $100,000. Mayor Barb Ballew read Ordinance No. 1222-19 twice by title. This authorizes the mayor to contract with John W. Gillum, CPA, LLC, for audit services and to do all acts necessary under such contract. The aldermen approved. The aldermen unanimously agreed by vote to bid out roof repairs on the electric barn. Mr. Rains has been working on the 2020 budget and plans to present a draft at the next board meeting. The board agreed to make an offer on the milling machine for sale at B&S Equipment Auctions. Public Works Director Mark Morey, Administrator Lance Rains, and Eric Kloepping led a tour of the water and sewer plants for USDA representatives last week. The water department has repaired four water main leaks in town, and they have two more water main leaks
left to repair. Gallatin crews were able to use the City of Bethany’s vacuum trailer for an afternoon and to repair five water valves. They also cleaned out 20 additional water valves. The clarifier at the wastewater plant had been shut down this summer for repairs. Unfortunately, when crews refilled the clarifier, workers noticed one side was at least seven inches higher on one side. They believe the flood floated the clarifier up while it was down for repairs and it now is no longer level. Mr. Rains will be notifying MIRMA and SEMA to file insurance claims. Johnathan Hobbs started working as a city employee on Sept. 23. MIRMA has notified Mr. Rains concerning safety grants that will be awarded to the city. Street paving has yet to occur in Gallatin this summer season. Mr. Morey has yet to hear anything from Herzog Construction, but it appears Herzog is starting to erect an asphalt plant at a local quarry. Scobee has completed the feed line pole replacement. Police Chief Richards submitted the following activity report dated Sept. 23: 4 truancy, 2 medical emergencies, 1 juvenile problem, 1 child abuse or neglect, 1 drug possession, 1 vandalism, 1 trespassing, 1 dog at large, 3 runaway juveniles, 2 burglaries, 1 theft, 1 welfare
check, 1 harassment, 1 assault with firearm, 1 traffic accident with damage, 1 disorderly conduct. There presently are four dogs impounded. The aldermen approved payment of bills totaling $31,523.13. Stephanie Williams with the North Central Missouri Business Facilitation presented the board with a data summary sheet from the time period of March 1, 2016, to Sept. 23, 2019. During this time she has worked with 211 clients in seven counties, completing 40 business celebrations. Mayor Barb Ballew declared the 2019 Gallatin Chautauqua a great success.

MULES usage report to be discussed with commission Supervisor Dana Carder advised she had received the Missouri Uniform Law Enforcement System (MULES) usage report from Jan. 1 to June 30 during the Aug. 29 meeting of Daviess County Central 911. She and Board Chairman Gene Walker will meet with the Daviess County commissioners to present the information. Walker and Carder had met earlier in the year with the commissioners in regards to their decision not to “subsidize” Daviess County Central revenue in 2019. The 911 board argued that the money received in past years from Daviess County was not a subsidy, but was instead a reimbursement for services rendered. They had agreed at that time to meet with the commissioners again in six months to provide them a report of
Reception set Sept. 29 for Morts’ 50th anniversary Rider seriously hurt in motorcycle crash
Steven Steinmetz, 52, Kansas City, KS, received serious injuries in an accident that happened at about 2:40 p.m. on Sept. 18 in Daviess County. According to the highway patrol, Steinmetz was southbound on I-35 driving a 2018 Harley Davidson. About eight miles north of Cameron, his vehicle traveled off the right side of the roadway and struck an embankment. Steinmetz was ejected, and the motorcycle came to rest on its side, facing northeast.
Steinmetz was transported by Cameron EMS to Mosaic Life Care in St. Joseph. He was wearing a helmet. The accident was investigated by Tpr. N.A. Regan, assisted by Sgt. L.M. Allen and Sgt. M.A. Wilhoit. *****

A new Central Processing Unit (CPU) and monitor is needed for the new mapping system from Geo-Comm to meet the specifications. “The mapping we currently use from Geo-Comm has reached its end of life and will not be supported after January,” says Supervisor Carder. “We have to get a new program from them, and a new CPU to support the specifications of that program.” The June Treasurer’s Report was accepted with bills of $16,671.61; revenue of $34,057.43; and a checkbook balance of $69,027.93.

Dogs survive Wolverine upset bid, 23-14, to move to 4-0 The Gallatin Bulldogs won ugly last Friday night … but they did so with some beautiful plays. Maysville looked like anything but a winless team as the Wolverines took the Bulldogs to the wire in a close contest that wasn’t decided until the fourth quarter. Gallatin needed a touchdown with 2:28 to play to finally turn back the upset-minded Wolverines, 23-14. The Bulldogs nursed a 3-0 lead in the second quarter after Tristen Gibson kicked a 30-yard field goal but the Wolverines put together a sustained drive that ended with a Mallon Cole keeper up the middle for a touchdown with under four minutes to play in the first half. Mallon threw to Trent Strong for the two-point conversion that put Gallatin on the wrong side of the lead for the first time in 13 quarters. The Wolverine lead failed to hold up for long. Facing second down and 12 to go for a first down, Bulldog quarterback Brinley Vandiver threw deep to Ross Critten across of the middle of the field and the senior speedster outran pursuit 82 yards for the go-ahead score. Gibson kicked the extra point to give his team a 10-8 lead at the break. Maysville led Gallatin in first half first downs, eight to two, and in offensive plays from scrimmage by nearly a double margin, but five penalties came at bad times for the home Wolverines. “I thought we came out flat
on Friday night,” says Bulldog Head Coach Patrick Treece. “Maysville came out ready to play and hit us in the mouth,” he continued. “It took us a while to wake up and start playing football.” The Bulldogs responded. Gallatin’s offense found a third quarter rhythm as the defense continued to hold Maysville out of the end zone. Aidan Adkison raced 74 yards for a score at the 10:27 mark. With under three minutes to play in the third, Vandiver faked a handoff and rolled right out of the pocket, finding JJ Waters behind Wolverine defenders on a flag pattern that covered 21 yards to the end zone. Maysville and quarterback Cole put together a scoring drive in the fourth quarter, aided by a Bulldog pass interference penalty near the goal line. The penalty got the Wolverines out of a fourth-and-ten jam. Cole needed all the forward momentum he could muster into the end zone on another fourth down play from inside the one. A two-point conversion try failed, to preserve a two-score lead for the Bulldogs.
Scoring Summary:
G: Gibson field goal. M: Cole 11 yd. run (Cole to Strong). G: Vandiver to Critten 82 yd. pass (Gibson kick). G: Adkison 74 yd. run (Gibson kick) G: Vandiver to Waters 21 yd. pass (kick failed). M: Cole 1 yd. run (conversion failed).

Panthers cruise ...
The Panthers cruised to a victory Friday night with their second-highest point total of the season. The Wildkats were able to put 22 points on the board in the fourth quarter but by then the game was well out of reach. Quarterback Steven Willhite threw for 411 yards and 8 touchdowns to three different players, Patrick Cowely, Dakota Eaton and Kaden Koch. Willhite also rushed for 2 TDs in his team’s fourth straight victory. Brody Langfitt also scored a rushing TD for Pattonsburg. The Panthers host Stanberry this Friday. PHS Statistics:

a sizable gain. Facing thirdand-18 on the ten, Vandiver delivered the ball to a streaking Critten over the middle, allowing the drive to continue and clock to run in Gallatin’s favor. “Our ability to pass was the big difference maker, I felt,” said Coach Treece. “Our offensive line was phenomenal in pass protection as they have been so far this year,” he added. “Brinley did a great job distributing the football and our receivers made some nice catches in traffic.” Despite eventually having to punt, the Bulldogs had one more defensive play to make when Gibson intercepted a Cole pass with a minute left in the game and returned the ball 41 yards to the Wolverine 34, putting an exclamation point on the win in the process. Defensively, it took all eleven on the field to slow down Maysville’s strong run game,” Coach Treece advised.

Gallatin takes on winless Polo this Friday, climaxing Homecoming activities at GHS. Tough games loom on the horizon against South Harrison (40), defending GRC champ Milan (2-2), Princeton (3-1) and Putnam County (2-2). “We found a way to get the job done, but we can’t have that type of performance and expect to win every Friday night,” said Treece. “I believe that it was a good wake up call for our guys. We have to get more physical, prepare better and get our defense off the field more often moving forward.”

In the above picture, Lake Viking Church worship leader Johnny Brown is pictured in front of the pavilion. Johnny drew up the plans, ordered materials, and supervised construction by a dedicated and hard working group of volunteers including Pastor Robert Nelson. It’s a good thing Johnny lives at Lake Viking close to the church, because he spent ters. You cannot serve both God and money.

Most of us view vows much less seriously than we should. The Bible has a lot to say about vows. They are neither good nor evil, but we should be very careful Bible Study 9:30 to 10:30 a.m.; Worship 10:40 a.m. (nursery provided). Evening Worship with them. In Ecclesiastes 5, Solomon examines the wisdom, or rather the at 6 p.m.; Tuesday Bible study 6 p.m., Wednesday Adult Choir 8:05 p.m. For transportation, call church office at 663.663.2331.Office hours: 8 to 11 a.m. weekdays. Email: foolishness, of making vows to the Lord. We have all witnessed people in crisis fbchurch@windstream.net Visit: www.firstbaptistgallatinmo.org making vows to the Lord and to others. Many, if not most, are never kept. That is a First Christian Church (1501 S. Main St.) — Rev. Kyle Taft, pastor; Children’s Pastor grave error and it is likely that many unknowingly forfeit God's blessings because Emily Miller. Sunday worship at 9 a.m.; Sunday School at 10 a.m. Wednesday Prayer of their failure to keep their vows. According to Ecclesiastes 5 and many other Meetings at 5:30 p.m. followed by Bible Study at 6 p.m.; Men’s Bible Study 5 p.m. Sundays; Youth groups at 5:30 p.m. every second and fourth Sunday during the school passages in the Bible, God views our vows in a very serious manner. He clearly year. Visit our website: www.gallatinmofcc.org, and also join us on Facebook: Gallatin First expects us to keep our word, and especially our vows. By His very nature, He is Christian Church faithful and true. He cannot be unfaithful. He must fulfill His vows. Our failure to Friends in Christ (400 N. Main St.) — Sunday morning worship 9:30 a.m. and small groups at 11 a.m. For more information, call Shonna at 660.663.2228 faithfully fulfill our vows is an affront to His character. Gallatin First Assembly of God (208 S. Willow St.) — Rev. Wayne Smith, Pastor, Deuteronomy 23:21-23, which Christ quotes and affirms in Matthew 5:33, is ph: 660.663.3213. SS 9:45 a.m., Celebrations 10:45 a.m.; Wednesdays 6 p.m. very explicit concerning our vows to the Lord. Solomon, in Ecclesiastes 5:4-7, Lake Viking Church (East Entrance to Lake) — Rev. Robert Nelson, Pastor; Sunday gives an enlightening commentary on the wisdom of being very careful with our School 9 a.m., Worship 10 a.m.; Wednesday Bible study and prayer service 7 p.m.; Email: vows. First, he declares that anyone who is late in paying a vow to the Lord is a lakevikingchurch@gmail.com fool and God takes no delight in fools. In verse 5, Solomon declares that one would Mary Immaculate Catholic Church (409 S. Main) — Fr. Tom Hermes; Saturday Mass 4:30 p.m. on holiday weekends only; Sunday Mass 10:30 a.m. (all year) be far better off to not make the vow in the first place. In verse 6, Solomon echoes and affirms the truth of Deuteronomy 23:21, that delaying paying a vow to the Olive Baptist Church (Route V, east of Gallatin) — David Leeper, Minister; Sunday School 10 a.m.; Worship 11 a.m. & 7 p.m.; Wednesday prayer service 7 p.m. Lord is sin. Next, he points out that pleading one's case before God's Presbyterian Church (201 S. Main St.) — Alvin Hillman, Minister; Fellowship 10:30 representative (synagogue/church) will do no good. No excuse will be accepted. In a.m. and Worship 11 a.m. fact, Solomon seems to take it a step further, he calls God's representative, God's Seventh-day Adventist Church (1207 S. Clay St.) — Mike Carner, Pastor, ph: 660. messenger. Solomon says it will not be a case of us going forward to plead, but 772.3306; Saturday Sabbath School 9:15 a.m., Worship 11 a.m. rather God sending a messenger to collect on the vow. Many in our society today, Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (211 Ash) — David Marble, live in fear of bill collectors who have great restrictions placed on them by the Bishop, ph: 660.663.9258. Sunday Sacrament Service 10 a.m.; Wednesday youth government, making it virtually impossible for them to collect. The bill collector activities, 7 p.m. United Methodist Church (111 S. Market) — Pastor Brad Dush; Sunday School and God sends will have no trouble collecting, none whatsoever. Worship 11 a.m.; www.galjamesumc.webs.com; Email: gallatin_umc@hotmail.com Solomon drives his point home by pointing out the folly of making God ALTAMONT unhappy with you and angry at you, simply because you could not keep your mouth shut. That hurts! Solomon goes on to say that God is to be feared; that He United Methodist Church — Marilyn Dorst, Minister; Worship 9:30 a.m., SS following on 2nd, 4th and 5th Sundays; Sunday School 9:30 a.m. on 1st and 3rd. will destroy the works of our hands if we do not fulfill our vows to Him. A reading WINSTON of the Old Testament prophets and the Gospels reveals that some people were First Baptist Church — Sunday School 9:30 a.m.; Worship 10:30 a.m.; Sunday & using vows to be selfish. They would declare certain possessions to be “dedicated Wednesday services 6:30 p.m.; church ph: 749.5577 to the Lord” but delay in handing them over to the Lord's work. Their purpose was Fairview Community Church — Pastor Shadrach Landry; Sunday School 9:45to keep from using said possessions to care for needy relatives, then at some point 10:45 a.m.; Worship 11 a.m. to make an excuse and keep the possessions for themselves. Even those with United Methodist Church — Eugene Keats, Pastor; Sunday Worship 10:45 a.m. good intentions, ought to be careful about making vows. Ecclesiastes 5 declares that there will be no excuse and God will collect. Do not miss the fact that it Alta Vista Baptist Church (NW of Winston on Hwy. 6) — Rev. Robert Dean, Pastor; Sunday School 9:30 a.m.; Worship service 10:30 a.m. clearly implies that more than the original vow will be collected. The example JAMESPORT seems to indicate that not just the pledged item or amount will be liable for collection but rather any and all of one's work will be liable. United Methodist Church (109 E. Main) — Pastor Brad Dush; Worship 9:30, Sunday School 10:35 a.m., nursery provided. Website: www.galjamesumc.webs.com It seems to me that if we have an idea in our heart to do something for the Baptist Church (708 W. Auberry Grv) — Rev. Jim Whitley, pastor. Sunday School 9:45 Lord that we ought to just do it, rather than making a vow first. If it is in your a.m.; Worship 10:45 a.m. and 7 p.m.; Wednesday Bible study and prayer meeting heart to do good, then just do it. It's much safer that way. 7 p.m.

Library’s Chautauqua float was a ‘Planetary Posse Ride’ for 27 readers The library would like to offer congratulations to the Chautauqua committee for another stellar event, rain and all, this past weekend. Congratulations, too, to the Summer Reading Program “stars” who successfully doubled their challenge and rode on the library’s float in Saturday’s parade. A total of 27 children met this challenge. Those children were Axle Allen, Roxy Allen, Caleb Barnard, Lilly Barnard, Lily Bradley, Madelyn Higgins, Berkeley Wells, Leah Critten, Kristine Graber, Brooklyn Hathcock, Lillian Johnson, Paige Heldenbrand, Charlotta Hunt, Lyndsey King, Tyler King, Eli Lawinger, Emery Lawinger, Andrew Lawson, Peyton Lawson, Caden McCrary, Emsleigh McCarary, Lillie Bartlett, Tea O’Rourke, Olivia Rogers, Olivia Schweizer, and Octavia White. Several of these “stars” climbed aboard the float, designed by library staff member Sheri Croy and driven by Dennis Croy, assisted by Biggs Osborn, to represent our “Planetary Posse.”
The Summer Reading program is a success due to community support from parents, grandparents, the Gallatin school, Lighthouse Learning Center, businesses, volunteers which include many retired teachers and youth, and outstanding library staff members. The 2020 theme “Follow Your Dream” is scheduled and plans are underway — just wait to see where we’ll take the children next summer! Additional library programs include Family Search Genealogy this Thursday, Sept. 26, from 5:55 to 8 p.m. with a brief presentation followed by individual research support provided, and the first “Alz Not Forgotten” Memory Keepers program on Tuesday, Oct. 1 from 1:30-2:30 p.m. at Daviess County Nursing and Rehab. Adults with dementia and Alzheimer’s and their caregivers throughout the community are invited to join the library for an hour of guided interaction and support. For more information, visit the library or call 660-663-3222.
Gilman City family loses home to fire The Gilman City, Pattonsburg, and Bethany Fire Departments responded through a mutual aid agreement to a twostory house fire in Gilman City on Sept. 14. The home at 224 Second Street was lost to the blaze. The fire started in an attached garage but was quickly spread to the rest of the house by strong winds. Dennis and Shaina Robertson and four children escaped the house without injury. All the contents inside the home were destroyed. A battery charger connected to a four-wheeler may have been the cause of the fire. The fire marshal is doing an inspection and will have a definitive answer in his report. Locally, donations are being collected by the Jamesport Tavern. Maggie Harris (660373-0159) and Ashley Hale, both of Gilman City, are also taking donations. Sizes for clothing are as fol-
lows: Dennis: jeans 32-34, shirts large, shoe size 10-1/2; Shaina: size 3-4, shoes 8; Carter: 8-10, shoe size 13; Carsynn and Clobi: size 7-8, shoe size 13; and Chloe: size 4-5, shoe size 5. Household items will be gladly accepted at a later time. “The community has been wonderful,” says Maggie Harris, stepmother and neighbor. Shaina’s father is Gordie Hale. “We have received donations from Harrison County, Grundy County and Daviess County and Kearney and Lee’s Summit. Gilman Baptist Church, a Bethany church, the Red Cross, and the Gallatin Men’s Club have also donated. The Robertson family thanks the community for their love and amazing support and wants everyone to know how much they appreciate everything.” The children attend Gilman City School, which is also planning to do a fund-raiser.
This house at Gilman City and all its contents have been lost to a fire. Donations for the family are being accepted at the Jamesport Tavern. [Pix courtesy Maggie Harris]

Lady Bulldogs drop a pair in GRC softball South Harrison scored a pair of runs in the top of the second inning and that proved to be all that was needed as the purple and white Lady Bulldogs swiped a 3-1 win over Gallatin on Tuesday. Maycee Ragan singled in both runners, who reached base after two fielding miscues. South Harrison added a lone run in the fifth inning but GHS pitcher Caragan Baker got out of a bad jam by stranding three runners on base in the fifth and two more in the sixth. Carli Beck doubled to open Gallatin’s half of the second inning and scored on Ella Bradford’s one-out single. Baker and Bradford each finished with a pair of hits for Gallatin, which fell to 1-6 in the GRC and 2-8 overall. JH Football Gallatin 26, Maysville 22

Pictured above is Patti Long’s father, Paul O’Neil, in a picture that appeared in the Dec. 17, 1959, edition of The Pentagram, an independent newspaper published by the Northern Virginia Publishing Company. O’Neil worked for the Stars and Stripes newspaper during his military service. Patti thinks that her father worked in the missile program. The caption of this picture says that Sfc. O’Neil was “not taking any chances with the hardware destined for his small missile experts” and that shortly after the photo, “a successful test launch placed the nose cone in orbit around a lamp shade.”
Stars & Stripes ...
priceless to Boston transplant Patti Long There weren’t many things that Patti Long wanted when her father died in 2006, but she knew she wanted his copies of the Stars and Stripes newspaper. They were special. They were copies dated during WWII, when he had worked for the paper. She got her wish, and now has them carefully stored in individual folders in an archive box. Her father, Sfc. Paul O’Neil, served in the Army for 27 years, and worked for the Stars and Stripes newspaper while he was stationed in Washington D.C. Patti’s father, an Irishman, met her mother while he was on active duty during WWII, in Palermo, Italy. Her mother was from Vienna, Austria, born in 1928. Patti says her mother rarely talked about her life when she was growing up, but when Patti’s son interviewed her mother for a language project during his junior year, the whole family learned her story. Patti’s mother, Hedwig Josefa Schmid, had some incredible memories of the war which she eventually shared with her family. She remembered being on the Vienna square when everyone there was required to salute Adolph Hitler. Patti’s mother also remembered the loss of friends who just “disappeared” during the war. Her father and brother, both Austrian soldiers, were captured during the war, her father by the Russians and her brother by the British. Patti’s mother passed away May 1, 2012. As a military family, Patti and her siblings traveled a lot and lived in many different places. Patti’s two oldest siblings were born in Salzberg, Austria, and Italy. She and her other three siblings were born in Virginia, but they spent considerable time in Puerto Rico where her father was last stationed. Patti is from Boston, MA. She found her way to Gallatin from Boston when she met her husband, Doug Long of Winston, and moved to Missouri to be with him. They were married Nov. 18, 2018. She now works in the Daviess County Sheriff’s Office as administrative assistant.
At Patti and Doug’s wedding, left to right, are Patti’s four sons, Eddie, Nico, Ryan and Joseph, the bride and groom, and Doug’s two sons, Kyle Long of Chillicothe and Kieth Long of Atchison, KS. Two of Patti’s sons live in Des Moines and two live in Boston. At right, Patty is pictured, far left, with her sisters, and her mother, center (in the hat).
Front Page Excerpts from Patti’s Stars and Stripes Aug. 18, 1944 Issue
Stars and Stripes is an American military newspaper that focuses and reports on matters concerning the members of the United States Armed Forces. It was founded in 1861. It operates from inside the Department of Defense, but is editorially separate from it, and its First Amendment protection is safeguarded by the United States Congress. The newspaper has its headquarters in Washington, D.C. During World War II, the newspaper was printed in dozens of editions in several operating theaters.
• Allied troops will drive in and occupy Germany and Japan even should resistance collapse short of the German border, President Roosevelt said at a press conference today. • The United States Third Army has captured Chartres and has reached Dreux on the approaches to Paris, it was announced tonight. • Nazis are fighting desperately to stem Russian advance. While General Maslennikov’s troops continued their lightning-like thrust through southern Esthonia yesterday, fierce battles raged in three key sectors of the eastern front. • Allied troops have achieved all of their initial objectives on the southern cost of France and are firmly established along a continuous front, it was announced today. • The 14th USAAF gave the Pescadores Islands, between Formosa and China, their first attack yesterday when they rained tons of high explosives on the Japanese naval base of Bako, 1400 miles north of the Philippines. Sept. 1, 1944 Issue • Yanks move into Nice, chase foe. Nazi prisoners total 50,000 since D-Day. • 83 Miles to Germany. British Armor sweeping across Northern France from the Seine River … today swept to the south bank of the Somme River and captured Amiens. • Soviet troops of the 2nd Ukrainian Army are within 17 miles of the Rumanian capital of Bucharest. • Nazis hinting for armistice — Germany has indicated a desire to put out peace feelers for negotiated peace but Allied conditions remain an unconditional surrender … May 10, 1945 Issue • Red Army troops have found a body purported to be Adolf Hitler’s in the ruins of Berlin, it was disclosed today by a Russian general. • The war against Germany cost this nation more than 750,000 casualties, some 150,000 of them dead, AP reported today. • With the war’s spotlight swinging east toward Japan, Allied military leaders everywhere today were promising a quick step-up in the war against the Nipponese. • Diehard Nazi armies, which fought to the last minute, were laying down their arms today with the European war officially ended a minute after midnight.
