Gallatin’s ‘Christmas Around the Square’ slated for Nov. 18

The “Candy Cane Christmas Shop,” a store where kids may shop FREE for their family, is a new feature of Gallatin’s popular community event, “Christmas Around the Square.” The event is set for Saturday, Nov. 18, sponsored by Friends of Gallatin. Kids ages 4-12 will be given play money and may “purchase” gifts for their family at affordable prices in the basement level of the Daviess County Library from 10 a.m. to noon. After the kids make their selections, the gifts will then be wrapped for them. Monetary donations are needed to stock this Christmas store for kids and can be dropped off at Elbert’s Department Store. Also while at the Candy Cane Christmas Shop, kids will be encouraged to make Christmas cards to send to deployed military personnel, assisted by Santa’s helpers. Christmas Around the Square will also feature crafts, food items and holiday gifts from over 40 vendors, plus much more.

Drawing for Prizes! This year’s prizes will again be focused on kids, with categories for ages 1-3, 4-7, 8-11, 12-15, and 16 and over. Winners’ names will be announced after the 6 p.m. tree lighting ceremony. Tickets are now available at local participating retail businesses. Those businesses will be offering one ticket per customer purchase. If you are not offered a ticket, please ask for one. On the back of the ticket, write your child’s name and age. A phone number is unnecessary, as you must be present to win. Another way to obtain tickets for the drawing is by donating a toy to Toys for Tots. Receptacles are located at Shopko and Dollar General. Toys must be pre-

sented to the cashier and placed in the Toys for Tots barrel in order to receive a ticket for the prize drawing. Until 4 p.m. on Nov. 17, you can enter the prize drawing by placing all of your ticket(s) in receptacles at any of three locations: Dungy’s Market, Elbert’s Department Store, and Frost Auto. There will be kids’ games from noon to 4 p.m. on Market Street and a Jacob’s Ladder for kids to climb. A balloon artist and face painting will be in the Seasons building from noon to 2 p.m. An Old Time Photo Booth with free 4x6 photos will be open from noon to 2 p.m., sponsored by Shelter Insurance, American Family Insurance, Farmers Insurance, and State Farm Insurance.

Vendors & Craft Fair! There will be over 40 vendors from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at selected locations around town. The craft fair will unfold at the Active Aging Resource Center, the Methodist Church, the former Frazier’s West Side Café, the former Frost Insurance building, and the Automated Artesan building (old 3B Silversmiths) across from Shopko. Christmas music will be played throughout the day on the square and in the buildings; strolling carolers will sing from 10 a.m. to noon. Servants of the Most High will perform gospel music from the stage on the north side of the square from 1-2 p.m. Free hot chocolate and cookies will be served on the courthouse lawn by the First Baptist Church. Bright Futures and FBLA are teaming up to facilitate Christmas adoptions for anyone wishing to help families who are in need. They will be located on the south (continued on page 13)

The Daviess County Ministerial Alliance is hosting a prayer gathering at the Daviess County Courthouse flagpole tomorrow, Thursday, Nov. 2 at 3:30 p.m. God is our source for strength, wisdom, and direction. This prayer gathering is to focus on the importance of keeping God at the center of our lives. Everyone is invited. City and county elected officials are also invited and will be recognized in prayer and thanks, as will all those in public service. This initiative stems from the Missouri Baptist Convention’s “Pray Across Missouri” where prayer gatherings are being held in every county throughout the state. Missouri Baptist Executive Director Dr. John Yeats will also be present to share and to pray. If inclement weather threatens, the gathering will be held either inside the courthouse or at First Baptist Church of Gallatin.

Thinking in the abstract… how old is this old house?

Is this the oldest house in Gallatin? “It’s probably one of the oldest houses in Gallatin, but nobody knows it,” said Mary Weldon. She is talking about the house located at 409 South Clay in Gallatin, where Mary lived for 40 years. According to public records, the house was built in 1890. It may not be the oldest house, but the land it sets on certainly has a provable history that dates back to the first days of Gallatin. Mary is in possession of a property abstract. The abstract chronicles the transactions associated with this particular parcel of land. The first transaction was conducted in February of 1838. Phillip Covington and his wife Louisa bought the property. The grantees’ signature line reads: The County of Daviess to the Use of Gallatin County Seat. The abstractors were Cuzen and Britton. You may not know who Mr. Covington is, but there wouldn’t be any town of Gallatin without him.

A 100-year history book, put out in 1936, has an article titled “History of Gallatin through 100 Years.” According to this story, the ground on which Gallatin now stands was indeed acquired by Philip Covington on that date, Feb. 10, 1838. “But then something strange happened,” said Mary. “Mr. Covington bought the land and surveyed it and platted it, but the government said it wasn’t legal and took it over and pushed him out.” According to the article, the patent from the government to Mr. Covington was not recorded and in later years, a lawsuit was necessary to establish claim to the land. The county took possession, but it was not until June 1869 that the county secured a quit claim deed to the land. The lot/house on Clay Street has passed through many hands and has been sold at the courthouse door numerous times. Early names on the abstract

Congratulations!

include David Hannah in 1897, who sold it to A.T. Ray. Then it went back to D.F. Hannah in 1900. It was also owned by a Maffitt, a Sibert, a Riggins, W.O. Tague, Edna Hazel Parks, Harold and Mary Hays, and Julia Richardson. The latter may have had Julia and Richardson streets named after her, although the house itself sets on Clay Street. The original house sat where it was until it was bought by Bob Mundell in 1955 (Mr. Mundell had a plumbing shop in the building that is now Subway). He dug a foundation on the lot next to it and moved the house over the foundation. There are two steel beams inside the house, which were put there to support it. The beams were later covered with wood. Mr. Mundell put on siding and remodeled the upstairs. At the time, it was noted that the rafters underneath were original. They were made from logs brought up from the Breckenridge saw mill. (continued on page 13)

Rogersville man fatally injured in truck accident Jay H. Williams, 63, Rogersville, was fatally injured in an accident that happened at about 3:20 p.m. on Oct. 25 in Daviess County at Hwy. 69 and Route C in Pattonsburg. According to the Missouri State Highway Patrol, the crash occurred as Mr. Williams was eastbound on Elmwood Avenue driving a 2003 Dodge Ram. A 1998 Peterbilt semi, driven by Greg Linthacum, 52, Ridgeway, was northbound on Hwy. 69. Mr. Williams attempted to cross Hwy. 69 and was struck on the passenger side by the semi.

Mr. Williams was transported by NTA Ambulance to Harrison County Community Hospital of Bethany, where he was pronounced dead at 5 p.m. by Dr. Charles Sciolaro. The accident was investigated by Tpr. A.D. Martin and Sgt. G.D. Ward, Major Crash Investigation Unit Team One, assisted by Sgt. T.L. Williams, Sgt. G.D. Smith, Tpr. M.J. Miller, Commercial Vehicles Operations II, D.S. Kelly, Daviess County Sheriff ’s Department, Pattonsburg Fire Department and NTA Ambulance.

Amazon loves me by Freida Marie Crump

Do you know MO? While trying to decide what to do with all the leftover brochures and maps from our recent vacation to Niagara Falls, N.Y., I happened across a new book from Reedy Press that should interest every Missourian. The Missouri Almanac 201819 is a hardbound, colorful guidebook featuring hundreds of images, stories and fun facts about the Show Me State. Let me serve you the following samples. While in New York, we traveled extra miles to visit a lakefront home designed by famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright. Did you know there are five Frank Lloyd Wright homes in Missouri? Yesterday’s snow coating Halloween decorations and fall colors was quite a surprise, wasn’t it? Snowfall averages across Missouri vary. At Caruthersville in the boot heel, the average is 2.3 inches per year; at Rolla in central Missouri the average jumps to 18.9 inches. The state record snowfall occurred in February 1979 at Cape Girardeau: 24 inches from one storm. Liz and I targeted visits at state parks on our vacation, especially those with white-water rapids and grist mills. Missouri is home to 41 state parks that offer 3,600 campsites. Forest Park is considered as one of the most beautiful city parks in the country. Within its 1,293 acres are the Saint Louis Zoo, the History Museum, the Art Museum, and the Science Center. Did you know Forest Park is bigger than New York’s more famous Central Park? Do you like weird? Here’s a list of weird laws that have been passed in Missouri (don’t worry, most of these are no longer laws): Clotheslines are banned in Columbia, but clothes can be draped over a fence. A milkman may not run while on duty in St. Louis. Kansas City prohibited the installation of bathtubs with four legs resembling animal paws. Dancing in Purdy is strictly prohibited. Statewide laws are also among the weird. Once upon a time in Missouri you had to have a permit to shave while driving. It’s illegal to smoke a pipe through your ear. One may not honk another person’s horn. It’s illegal to eat clam chowder on Sunday between 11:50 a.m. and 12:48 p.m. Famous pioneer Daniel Boone (1734-1820) was a little weird. According to Boone family lore, Daniel had a luxurious cherrywood coffin made for himself and

would periodically inspect and lie down in it (while he was alive!) to make sure it still fit. He came to Missouri when it was still called Upper Louisiana as Spanish territory, eventually to die at a home built by his son near Defiance. Ever wonder how Liberal, the town in Barton County, got its name? Founder George Walser foresaw the town as an atheist utopia that would have no churches ...or saloons.

O the E itor s S ike

by Darryl Wilkinson

Wonder what the “S” stands for in the name Harry S. Truman? Nothing. Our nation’s 33rd president, considered one of the best in our history, was born at Lamar and raised in Harrisonville, Grandview and Independence. His parents chose the middle initial “S” but not a middle name to appease both his grandfathers, who had “S” names. Somewhere I have a photo of Aunt Jemima standing with Virginia McDonald when she once visited McDonald Tea Room here in Gallatin. Do you remember Aunt Jemima? Nancy Green was once hired to portray the character of Aunt Jemima when the pancake mix was new. It was a marketing ploy. Others, like the actress posing with Virginia McDonald, followed Ms. Green in that role. Ms. Green was a formerly enslaved African American woman and was the first living trademark for any product. She promoted the brand from 1893 until her death in 1923. By the way, next time you have pancakes for breakfast, do you consider the history of hot, yummy deliciousness coming right off the pan to your plate? It started in St. Joseph. In 1889 a pair of local entrepreneurs bought a mill with the idea to package and sell a ready-mix, self-rising pancake flour. Did you know Blue Springs is home to the world’s shortest St. Patrick’s Day parade? According to the Missouri Almanac 2018-19, the parade only goes across the street. Go to Branson for the entertainment. But did you know if you fly to Branson you’ll touch down in the only privately owned and operated commercial air-

port in the entire United States? There are more than 100 airports spread across Missouri, but only three board more than 100,000 people per year: Lambert International at St. Louis (6.2 million), KC International (5 million), and Springfield-Branson National (368,000). Most of us just drive, of course. Did you know Missouri license plates were first designed so that every car would have the initials of the vehicle’s owner? By the way, Missourians will get new license plates in 2019, just in time for the 2021 Missouri bicentennial. The new design will salute Missouri’s 200th year as a state – and, at least for a time, Missouri will be a “one license plate” state. Automobiles have always played a big part in Missouri life. Vehicles produced in Missouri include Ford Aerostar, Chevrolet Corvette, Dorris Motor Car, Ford Explorer, Kansas City Touring Car, Ford LTD Crown Victoria, Chevrolet Nova. The Ford Claycomo Plant, just off I-35 as you drive down to the city, remains one of the busiest auto factories in the world. More vehicles are produced at this plant today than in any other in the United States. Did you know actor Steve McQueen spent much of his childhood in Slater, Mo.? During his career, McQueen was one of the highest-paid actors in Hollywood and was ranked #30 in Empire magazine’s “Top 100 Movie Stars of All Time” list. He starred as one of the bandits in the 1959 movie, The Great St. Louis Bank Robbery. The “King of Cool” also starred in the movies as Bullitt. But I’ll forever remember him riding that Nazi motorcycle in the World War II flick, The Great Escape (how can he be just #30 on the moviestar list?). I could go on. The book, in fact, does. The Missouri Almanac 201819 is colorful, both physically and in content. The nuggets of trivia are compiled from collections and institutions from all over the state. The book is now available online or in bookstores, hardbound books produced by Reedy Press (ldemers@reedypress. com or ph: 314.833.6600). If you decide to give it a read, you’ll discover a Missouri you’ve never seen all at once. I know I did. And it makes me consider how much of our next vacation maybe might be spent right here at home before traipsing off to some other state (or state of mind).

Greetings from Poosey. Sing along with me! Amazon loves me, this I know, For my email tells me so... I can tell that Amazon.com truly loves me because they know me so well. If I buy a copy of Mark Twain’s Life on the Mississippi, they’ll immediately send me a flood of emails recommending other works by Twain. If I buy 100 plastic kazoos, they’ll zero in on my buying habits, and in the time it takes me to right click my mouse, my inbox will have been inundated with offers to buy slide whistles, bicycle horns, and clown noses. No greater love hath any man than this that he lay down his specialized inventory for another. Targeted marketing. The advent of the internet has opened an entire world of specialized advertising. No longer must stores send out broadsheets to everyone in the world to advertise its newest gizmo. By carefully noting our buying habits, they can design a specialized list of things that you simply must have. We are so very blessed. Three years ago I clicked into the Target Stores website to buy a wedding gift for a young couple who’d listed the store on their bridal registry. I think I bought the newlyweds a set of sheets. From this single bit of information the great gods of Target Inc. deduced that I was running a chain of hotels and since that fateful first click I’ve been buried in an avalanche of offers for pillows, bathroom fixtures, designer towels, and disposable plastic cups. Target loves me, this I know. Honda knows how often I trade cars and they send me special invitations to come spend more money whenever the due date arrives. I bought personalized stationery over the Internet and from that single purchase I’ve been blessed with offers to personalize everything in my house from my teacups to my dog to my husband. It’s great being loved. My alma mater has been kind enough to share my email address with anyone who might want to sell me something. The school has not only bestowed a diploma upon me but a lifetime of bargain basement, half-price, once-in-a-lifetime offers. My old school loves me, this I know. So how come... how come if God is love... why doesn’t love specialize as much as amazon.com? Amazon doesn’t offer me everything in its warehouse, just the things the company thinks I’ll need and use. God just isn’t with the program. That’s why I’m proposing that some enterprising young Bill Gates come up with a THB (Targeted Holy Bible.) The one we have now is so darned... well... inclusive! I mean, it just tries to cover everything, including the parts that I’d rather not mess with. Scan the front page of any newspaper and you’ll find that faith still motivates a good chunk of our major news stories... abortion, gay rights, the placement of Islamic mosques, immigration, even international economics as the majority of goods in our homes are now assembled with hands which worship at the shrine of some heathen god. But the trouble is... if you use the Bible as your guide for living, it’s so darned... well... all-encompassing. It covers everything and that’s just the problem. The blasted thing says we should show love to everybody, and in some folks’ books, that’s just getting carried away... and it’s not as much fun. We don’t want to hear everything the Bible says. If you’re carrying signs filled with intolerance toward another race or religion, you’d rather not mess with the “love your neighbor” or “turn the other cheek” liberal balderdash of the scriptures... especially if you’re marching with your church group. You need a personalized bible. And let’s face it, for some of us, the whole idea of the brotherhood of man is just taking things too far. When Paul said, “There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you all are one in Christ Jesus,” he was obviously talking about a time long, long ago in a galaxy far, far away. Come on, Lord! If Target, Amazon, and Bath & Body Works can let me pick and choose, it’s only fair... You ever ‘round Poosey, stop by. We may not answer the door but you’ll enjoy the trip.

Growing concern about the ‘I think’ dodge I’ve been surprised by the number of times I’ve heard White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders answer questions at press briefings with the words “I think.” Reading through press briefing transcripts, I’ve found that response dozens of times -- even when she’s directly asked about the president’s position on an issue. I can’t remember ever getting an “I think” response when I asked about the governor’s position. When I ask a spokesperson about the governor’s position, I don’t really care what about the staffer “thinks.” I’m interested in what the governor thinks or what his office actually is doing or planning. If I ever got an “I think” response, I’d probably respond, “I didn’t ask for your personal opinion, I asked for the governor’s position.” This is more than a minor grammatical issue. When the spokesperson’s response to a question starts with “I think,” that person has dodged my ability to report it as the chief executive’s position. But for most of my decades covering the statehouse, I encountered an approach by gubernatorial press aids far different from the combative environment I’ve seen from White House briefings. I usually found the

governors’ press spokespersons tremendously helpful, providing insights to help me understand the actual thoughts of Missouri’s chief executive. I experienced that approach soon after I started covering the statehouse. One of my assignments was to produce a weekly radio series on statehouse issues. As by Phill part of that effort, I’d regrooks ularly visit Gov. Warren Hearnes’ office to get his thoughts about that week’s topic. But when I first approached the governor’s press secretary, Jerry Bryant, he quickly asked me why I was not asking the governor. Then, without warning, he immediately hauled me into the governor’s personal office to ask my question. I still remember my discomfort at being led, unprepared to query the state’s top official. After that first visit, personal interviews with Hearnes became a regular part of my weekly schedule. He was so passionate about telling me his thoughts that at times he’d keep me sitting on the sofa next to him for longer than my schedule allowed. His successor, Kit Bond, continued that

Capitol Perspectives

Over the years, different illegal drugs have been abused as they become more accessible and cheaper to purchase. Now, heroin, laced with synthetic opioids, has quickly become the latest epidemic to devastate our communities. Daily news reports document countless heart-wrenching stories of fatal overdoses nationwide. This growing epidemic is infiltrating our homes, schools, and workplaces. Additionally, many who have died from an overdose aren’t frequent users, but rather first time users who made a terrible decision. Heroin overdose deaths have dramatically increased due to a drug called Fentanyl. The opioid is 50 times more powerful than heroin and 100 times more powerful than morphine. Heroin dealers are now using Fentanyl to make this lethal concoction stronger and are selling a synthetic version which has led to over 20,000 deaths in the United States in 2016 alone. Many of our north Missouri communities have taken action, both through enforcement and education, but also by having anti-overdose medication available to save lives. More needs to be done!

President Trump has said the opioid crisis is a national emergency and action must be taken on the national level. Congress has taken note. We know that most of the illicit Fentanyl that makes its way to the U.S. comes from Mexico and China. That is why, this week, I voted for H.R. 2142, the INTERDICT Act, which will give the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Agency (CBP) upgraded tools for chemical screening devices to detect drugs such as Fentanyl. Equipping CBP with these devices will help ensure that they are able to stop these deadly drugs from entering our country before it kills more of our families, friends and neighbors. The opioid crisis affects each and every one of us as it continues to grow at a rapid rate. Solving this epidemic won’t be quick or easy, but all of us can play a part. I hope you participated in National Take Back Day (Oct. 28). This nationwide effort offered a chance for you to be a part of the solution and keep unused prescription drugs from getting into the wrong hands by proper disposal. Visit the Drug Enforcement Administration’s website for more information, www.takebackday.dea.gov.

Here in the Show-Me State, we’re blessed to be home to several major military installations, including Whiteman Air Force Base in Knob Noster and the U.S. Army Maneuver Support Center of Excellence at Fort Leonard Wood. We’re also fortunate to have a Missouri National Guard force of 11,800 citizen-soldiers and airmen, some of whom belong to the 139th Airlift Wing at Rosecrans Air National Guard Base in St. Joseph. A recent report prepared for the Department of Economic Development’s Military Advocate’s Office details just how significant of an economic impact military spending has on our state. Between fiscal year 2013 and fiscal year 2015, the $14 billion per year in military spending resulted in an average of $32 billion per year in goods and services being purchased from Missouri companies and close to 200,000 direct and indirect jobs for Missourians.

We must also consider the impact of military spending on Missouri’s school districts and tourism industry. For example, Missouri received $27.7 million in Impact Aid from the federal government in fiscal year 2015 for its school districts. The aid resulted in a total economic impact to the state of $47 million and supported more than 530 jobs, an estimated 380 of which were for teachers, administrators and school district employees. Furthermore, 75,000 people attended the 2015 “Wings over Whiteman” air show, while some 200,000 people visit Fort Leonard Wood every year for military graduations. These individuals and families stay in local hotels and eat in local restaurants, bringing in much-needed revenue to the surrounding region. Numbers like these paint a clear picture as to why we must do everything we can as a state to support our military bases, our men and women in uniform, and our military families and communities.

Tax reform should put families first by U . S . S en at o r Cl aire Mc Cas k il l

I’ve done a lot of town halls around Missouri — nearly 50 of them just this year — many in rural areas that remind me of where I grew up, around Houston, and Lebanon in south central Missouri. These are communities of working families, some of whom are living paycheck-to-paycheck, trying to earn enough money to pay their bills, afford their prescription drugs, or try to put their kids through college. These are folks who want to see a fairer system for the middle class — and I agree with them. Here’s the good news. Congress has an opportunity this year to put a little more money in the pockets of working families, while protecting their retirement accounts, and streamlining and simplifying something no American I’ve ever met is fond of: the U.S. tax code. The White House and Republican leaders in Congress have released a framework — though as of today, no specifics — for their tax plan. I’ve talked at my town halls about the deep concerns I have with that framework, because it’s one that will

mainly give large tax breaks to corporations and the very wealthy, all while adding to our deficit and doing nothing to help Missouri’s middle class families. Some Republican leaders in Congress have even suggested that when they release the details of the plan, it will include cuts to people’s 401k retirement accounts — and that’s something I will not support, because there’s no way Congress should be cutting taxes for the rich by cutting working people’s retirement accounts. But I’m remaining stubbornly optimistic — an outlook my parents instilled in me when I was young—in the hopes I can work with the president and his team on changes to their tax plan to make it benefit the folks who need tax relief the most. Recently, I had dinner with President Trump’s daughter, Ivanka, and her husband, Jared Kushner, to discuss the tax framework — and it was a productive meeting, though without a detailed plan to discuss, we were only able to speak in broad strokes. I also recently had the chance to sit down with President Trump

and factual answers. But in more recent years, there has been a profound change in how reporters are handled by governors and their staff. I fear we’re entering a new era for both our state and nation in which reporters are considered an enemy to be avoided rather than an asset that can help the public better understand what’s happening in their government. Some public officials now avoid our uncomfortable questions by limiting their public appearances to media events or to social media where no questions can be asked. The staggering amounts of undisclosed special interest money make it easier to flood the public with one-sided advertising presentations. A sign of this new era is the growing unresponsive answers we encounter. And maybe another sign of this new culture is a spokesperson responding to reporters with “I think” rather than what the president thinks.

approach with near-weekly news conferences that would last until reporters didn’t have anything more to ask. Subsequent governors were equally accessible. And their communications directors went out their way to make sure we got what the governor was thinking or planning, rather than what the press aid “thought.” Many of these communications directors had near full access to the governor and the governor’s meetings. So, they didn’t need to tell me “I think.” They knew exactly what the governor was thinking. That was especially true of Gov. Mel Carnahan’s press aide, Chris Sifford. “Soulmates” was how The Associated Press described their relationship after the fatal plane crash that cost Carnahan and Sifford their lives. That close relationship was invaluable for reporters. Carnahan frequently gave us lengthy and rambling answers that left us unsure of what he meant. But we always could go to Sifford. We were sure he would know exactly what the governor was trying to say. And as a former reporter, he knew how to provide clear, concise

himself, to discuss his tax plan face-to-face. I emphasized to the president my willingness to work with him on tax reform that benefits the middle class, and was reassured when he said he’s not interested in passing a tax cut for the rich. The president and I also agreed on the importance of having the details of the tax plan to have any hope of making bipartisan headway, and I am hopeful we will see those details soon. Without them, all we have is a framework that would leave Missouri families behind. And that’s not something I can support. Supporting tax cuts for working families is nothing new for me. I teamed up with my Republican friend, Sen. Susan Collins of Maine, on a bill to cut taxes on businesses and extend the payroll tax cut. I was a strong supporter of the American Taxpayer Relief Act, which made permanent President George W. Bush’s tax cuts for almost 98% of Missourians. I remain hopeful we’ll see a bill that continues those efforts and puts Missouri’s working families first. If we do, I’m all for it.

Preliminary data from the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) shows that young hunters ages six through 15 harvested 166 deer in Daviess County. Of those, 71 were antlered bucks; five were button bucks; and 40 were does. (Official numbers will be released after all portions are finished and that data has been verified.) Across the state, 17,222 deer were harvested during Missouri’s early youth portion of the 2017 deer hunting season, which ran Oct. 28-29. Top counties for the early youth portion were Osage with 380, Howell with 377, and Franklin with 354 deer checked. Last year’s harvest total for the early youth portion was 11,171. “The increase in harvest during the early youth portion compared to last year is likely due to the excellent weather over the weekend, which was favorable for deer movement,” MDC Deer Biologist Barb Keller said. “Weather during early youth season last year was particularly poor, with highs in the 80s.” Archery deer hunting continues through Nov. 10 and again from Nov. 22 through Jan. 15, 2018. Up next for deer hunting in Missouri is the November portion of firearms deer season,

Halloween trick...or treat? Yesterday, Oct. 31, it snowed. It was a light snow, according to the National Weather Service and measured as a “trace”, though Daviess County got more than that, with as much as an inch reported in some places. The Kansas City/Pleasant Hill climatological report says yesterday’s maximum temperature was 38 and the minimum was 25 and the average during the day was 32. In 1950 it got up to 87 degrees to set a record. The low record was 17 degrees in 1993. In the year 1900 the area got 1.54 inches

of rain. In 1912 one inch of snow fell on this date.

Three receive FFA American Degree Three Gallatin chapter members received the American FFA Degree on Oct. 28 at the 90th Annual National FFA Convention and Career Expo in Indianapolis, Indiana. Kase Critten, Cooper Grady and Aubrey Burns, all Gallatin R-5 2016 graduates, walked across the national stage and received their degrees. The American FFA Degree is the highest degree the FFA organization can give worthy members who have met all of the degree qualifications. Missouri had a total of 532 members who received the American FFA Degree. Gallatin FFA member, Jacob Wilson, was also in attendance at the convention as a member of the National FFA Band. The National FFA Band has been in existence since 1947; members of the band kick off the opening

session by marching through the streets of downtown Indianapolis. Throughout the week the band provided music for every session and contributed to the feel and success of the convention. Since last report, some additions were made to the list Jacob W ilson of members going to the convention due to the loss of the football game and fruit sales results. Those in attendance were Colin Beck, Tom Crouse, Graydee Rains, Owen Schweizer, Tayton Terry, Justice Fry, Klayton Lynch, Calvin Grady, Addison Burns, Bethany Bailey, and Shaunessy Eaton.

Indianapolis on Oct. 25, they obtained their badges and attended the Rascal Flatts concert. Runaway June was the opening act. On Oct. 26, members attended the second session of the convention and listened to the retiring address given by National FFA Vice President Valerie Earley. Afterwards, the members attended the career show and expo where they visited college booths and a variety of agricultural based career booths and displays. Members also were able to shop for the newest FFA gear at the FFA Mall. That night, members and advisors watched Jim Wand perform his hypnotist show, which was great fun. Friday’s schedule was full of tours; however, rain and cold temperatures prevented members from attending many of them. Members were able to attend the Indianapolis 500 tour, where they got to see the track and the famous brick strip. Members returned home from the convention on Oct. 28 and are preparing for speech contests and Barnwarming.

Missouri routs UConn, heads into key November stretch B y B enj a m in H errold Well, Missouri, time to save the season. Missouri notched its second blowout win against an overmatched opponent in as many weeks on Saturday, winning at Connecticut 52-12. Now, after two relatively easy nonconference wins, the first back-to-back wins in Barry Odom’s two seasons as head coach, Missouri (3-5, 0-4 in SEC play) finishes with four SEC games, all against struggling teams. It all comes with a grain of salt since all Missouri did was beat two bad teams, but there is plenty of bad left on the schedule, and, as crazy as it sounds, the Tigers have a real shot at going to a bowl game. Saturday’s win ended the Tigers’ 11-game road losing streak. After falling behind 2-0 early after a botched snap led to a safety, Missouri went to work on the overmatched defense of UConn (3-5). After the gaffe, the Tigers scored on their next seven full drives, not counting a short possession to run out the

clock at the end of the first half, and led 45-5 in the third quarter. The Huskies’ defense, which entered the game ranked last in the country in pass yards allowed, provided an almost comical lack of resistance to Missouri’s passing game. Tiger quarterback Drew Lock completed 31 of his 37 passes for 377 yards and five touchdowns with no interceptions. Now comes a November that could have big impacts for Odom and the program moving forward. The Tigers get Florida and Tennessee at home, and then finish with road trips to Vanderbilt and Arkansas. Florida just fired its coach, Tennessee and Vanderbilt have yet to win an SEC game, and Arkansas finally got its first SEC win on Saturday after rallying from a 31-7 deficit. Of course, Missouri still doesn’t have an SEC win either, so the Tigers won’t be casting many stones from their blackand-gold glass house. None of these games are in the bag. First comes the Florida game

(11 a.m. on ESPN2) on Saturday at Faurot Field. It might be the most pivotal of them all. The Gators (3-4, 3-3 in SEC play) fired head coach Jim McElwain after a 42-7 loss to rival Georgia on Saturday. Former Miami head coach Randy Shannon took over as the interim head coach. Florida has lost three in a row, and the offense has not been good again, ranking 113th nationally in scoring at 21.3 points per game. Of course, Missouri’s defense has been bad against powerconference teams this season. The Tiger offense has been great when it plays bad defenses. Florida has had good defenses recently, but this year’s unit is just 66th nationally in points allowed per game. It’s hard to project how a team will respond to a coach getting fired. For all the flaws, Florida still has a good amount of talent on the roster. Missouri began the week as a slight favorite. If the Tigers win, a trip to a bowl begins to seem realistic.

O c t . 3 1, 2 007 Roy “Shorty” Bridgeman died of a heart attack while towing a disabled vehicle in October 1993.

Tara Dunkin, daughter of John Dunkin and Shelly Sims of Gallatin, has been selected as a homecoming queen finalist at HannibalLaGrange College. Ms. Dunkin is a 1996 graduate of Gallatin R-5 High School. Friday night’s 33-0 victory over Princeton wrapped up Gallatin’s seventh Grand River Conference football championship and first since 1988. The win vaulted the Bulldogs to 8-0 on the season and sets them up on the road to a district title. O c t . 2 8 , 19 8 7 Friday night isn’t your typical Gallatin-Hamilton football game. What’s on the line is Gallatin’s chance for a piece of the GRC title and possibly a trip to the playoffs. Neither tackle Jason Huffman (neck) nor Kevin Noel (bruised kidney) is expected to play for Gallatin. The grand opening of a new store on the east side of the square in Gallatin will occur this Friday. Branstetter’s Grocery and Damaged Freight of Gilman City is expanding to sell merchandise out of the old Pill Box Pharmacy building. The fall firearms report on turkeys in Daviess County shows a big jump in the harvest. Excellent weather and turkey population counts contributed to the total 355 kills recorded. This is an increase of 117 birds over last year’s season. Nov. 2 , 19 7 7 A new coaching staff hopes to make 1977-78 a “whole new ballgame” for Northwest Missouri State University’s basketball Bearcats. First-year Head Coach Larry Holley, a native of Jameson, who for the past two seasons served as Bearcat assistant coach, and for six years prior to that was head coach at Central Methodist, will lead the Cats through a 26-game schedule. While the headlines gave all the credit to the MU quarterback, Gallatin’s Keith Morrissey played a vital role in Saturday’s 28-13 Tiger victory over Kansas State in Columbia. Keith was one of the leading defensive powers in the game, racking up four unassisted tackles, three assisted tackles, and he sacked the K-State quarterback three times. The Gallatin FFA judging team won the first place trophy in livestock judging in a contest at Maryville last week. Kathy Smith won top individual honors in the beef judging contest.

Wayne L. Critten, who lives about six miles east of Gallatin, has set up a small factory at his farm where he is turning out several units each week. A combination of old-fashioned flu, strep throat, colds, sore throats and assorted maladies of the season struck Daviess County schools with full force this week. A total of 352 students were absent yesterday as the epidemic appeared to be at its peak. Gallatin’s escape artist will have to find a new route out of the city jail. The windows have been sealed with concrete blocks. This extra expense item on the city’s strained budget was brought about by one frequent “guest” who found his cell too confining at times and departed it almost at will by breaking or picking the lock on the steel door at the rear of his cell. O c t . 3 0, 19 4 7 Admiral Richard E. Byrd, famed explorer, in a lecture in St. Joseph on Monday, asserted that the American way of life will be threatened within the next 15 years. He said the atomic bomb had shot this world into an era for which it was not prepared and man is finding it extremely difficult to fit himself into the picture. Frances Ann Richards, a member of the Jameson 4-H club, has been notified she is the winner of an expense-paid trip to the National 4-H Club Congress in Chicago, Nov. 30, where she will represent Missouri in the national food preparation contest. Keith Alexander, hard-driving Bulldog half, carried the ball on an off-tackle slash from the eight-yard stripe but Albany, undefeated in the GRC, beat Gallatin 14 to 6 Friday night.

What a marvelous book Exodus is. Exodus gives us the story redemption, release from bondage, salvation. It seems to be the sister book to Romans. Exodus teaches the same basic message as Romans but in narrative form. In chapter one of Exodus we see that our great enemy is death and that we need saving from its clutches. Thus, we are moved to cry out to God. In chapters 2-4 we see in Moses, a great picture of the promised Messiah. He is royalty and yet still one of us. We see Him make a victorious return, plundering our captor. In chapters 5-12, in the systematic defeat of Pharaoh and all his gods, we see the power of sin broken and destroyed. We also see salvation enacted by the awesome and miraculous power of God coupled with pure, unblemished blood properly applied. We see our greatest enemy, death, soundly defeated. In chapters 13-40 of Exodus, we see the outworking of salvation. We see what is ours because of salvation. We see our inheritance in Christ. Chapter 13 shows us set apart for the glory and enjoyment of God. We also see ourselves being led by the Shekinah Glory. Chapter 14 shows YHWH, the covenant God, fighting for the new believer against the forces of darkness who desperately want the newly adopted child of God back. Chapter 15 shows the new believer singing a song of praise to his God. It also reveals a supernatural change from bitterness to sweetness. Chapter 16 shows God miraculously providing for the physical needs of His children. God provided food, water, clothing, sanctifying rest, and superior materials for the construction of the Tabernacle. In chapter 17, we see answered prayer and victory over sin in the form of Amalekites. In chapter 18, God provides strong and capable leadership for the community of believers. In a larger passage, chapters 19-24 give us rules to live by, including the Ten Commandments. In the middle of this passage, we are also given a look ahead at claiming our inheritance (the Promised Land). This passage reminds us that obedience to YHWH is necessary to properly enjoying Him and for claiming our inheritance. The last 16 chapters of Exodus are basically a manual for worship. The construction of the Tabernacle, the clothing of the priests, the furnishings of the Tabernacle, teach us much about how unholy people can approach a holy God in proper worship. The book closes with the manifest presence of the Savior. Exodus 40:34-38, “Then the cloud covered the tent of meeting, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle. 35 Moses was not able to enter the tent of meeting because the cloud had settled on it, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle. 36 Throughout all their journeys whenever the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the sons of Israel would set out; 37 but if the cloud was not taken up, then they did not set out until the day when it was taken up. 38 For throughout all their journeys, the cloud of the Lord was on the tabernacle by day, and there was fire in it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel.” (NASU) And thus, Exodus ends with the glory of the Redeemer manifest among the Redeemed. God and man living in fellowship. God leading; man following. God leading; man responding in loving obedience. God providing everything needed for life and worship. This, nothing more and nothing less, is the Christian life.

Going south? Bears are eating heavy in preparation for hibernation, don’t be on their fat roll Are you planning to drive south of the Missouri River to see the lovely fall trees? If so, beware the bear! A native of Missouri, black bears were abundant throughout the state until the late 1800s when they were nearly wiped out from unregulated killing and from habitat loss when Ozark forests were logged. MDC research shows that a small number of native black bears survived and others from Arkansas moved north into Missouri. Over time, their numbers in-

Bearing it all Here are 10 facts about black bears from Discover Wildlife. 1. Small but numerous. The black bear Ursus americanus is the smallest, yet most common, of the three bear species found in America (after the polar and grizzly). The current population estimate is 750,000 individuals. 2. Home on the range. Black bears are only found in North America. The species ranges from Canada in the north to Mexico in the south, and lives predominantly in forests, feeding on fruit, nuts, shoots and vegetation. 3. The high life. Black bears are excellent climbers and are often photographed scaling trees. Their claws give them great grip, and the branches offer youngsters safety from predators. Cubs can be very adventurous, climbing high into the treetops. 4. Water bears. Black bears are also good swimmers, and will readily enter water in search of fish. Black bear cubs take to the water easily and quickly, and one adult is believed to have swum nine miles along the Gulf of Mexico. 5. Speeding up. Black bears tend to shuffle along slowly when walking, but are able to run at speeds of around 40-50kph. However, they cannot maintain this pace for long. Plump bears in heavy winter coats tire out particularly quickly. 6. Colour changers. Despite their name, black bears are not always black – they can also be light brown, blond or even grey-blue. A subspecies of black bear with white fur, known as the Kermode or spirit bear, lives in British Columbia. 7. Family matters. Female black bears can give birth to up to six cubs, and usually breed every other year. Cubs stay with their mother for about 18 months. 8. Mealtime mission. Black bears will leave the forest and travel many miles to seek food, entering back gardens and campsites. They have an exceptional sense of smell, leading them to seek out food items in rubbish bins and outdoor storage facilities. They are also perfectly capable of breaking into cars. 9. Hunting statistics. According to Born Free USA, black bears can be legally hunted in 27 states in America, and between 40,000 to 50,000 bears are legally hunted there each year. More are illegally poached. 10. Close encounters. If you come across a bear at close range, the usual advice is to retreat slowly, still facing the bear. Do not run. Bears are known to make mock-charges to within a few metres – if they do this, stand your ground and shout.

creased and continue to do so. Results of ongoing black-bear research shows that the animals have been sighted in about half the counties in Missouri, primarily south of the Missouri River, with most bears located in the southern third of the state in the Missouri Ozarks. As summer turns to fall, Missouri’s estimated 350 native black bears enter a phase called hyperphagiain which they eat heavily, accumulating a layer of fat that results in a 30 percent weight gain preparing them for hibernation. In preparation for hibernation, bears eat a wide variety of food including grasses and forbs, berries, ants, bees and wasps, beetles, crickets, fish, frogs, small rodents and other small animals. The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) reminds people to “Be Bear Aware” by not feeding bears and providing potential sources of food. “A fed bear is a dead bear,” said MDC Wildlife Management Coordinator Alan Leary. “Feeding bears makes them comfortable around people and the places they associate with food from people, such as campsites, yards, and trash containers. When bears lose their fear of people by being fed, they may defend these food sources or territory. This can make them dangerous. When this happens, the bear has to be destroyed.” Leary added a fed bear that becomes a problem in one place cannot be relocated to another. “Once a bear associates people with food, its life is ruined,” Leary said. “Even if it is relocated, it will go in search of other places to get food from people, such as homes, residential areas, farms, and campsites. Common temptations include pet food or trash left outdoors,

dirty grills or smokers, birdseed or other food at wildlife feeders, food at campsites, and gardens and orchards.” E very lit t ered b it hurt s MDC offers these tips to avoid attracting black bears to possible food sources: •Don’t leave pet food sitting outside. Feed pets a portion they’ll eat at each meal and remove the empty containers. •Store garbage, recyclables, and compost inside a secure building or in a bear-proof container until the day of trash pickup. •Keep grills and smokers clean and store them inside. •When camping be sure to keep cooking and cleaning areas separate from sleeping areas. •Only use birdfeeders in bear country (which is primarily south of the Missouri River) when bears are typically hibernating -- from early December through early March -- or hang them at least 10 feet high and four feet away from any structure. •Use electric fencing to keep bears away from beehives, chicken coops, vegetable gardens, orchards, and other potential food sources. •Keep campsites clean and store all food, toiletries and trash

in a secure vehicle or strung high between two trees. Do not burn or bury garbage or food waste. B a c k a w a y , b a c k a w a y slow ly While close encounters with bears are uncommon in Missouri, MDC offers this advice when outdoors in black-bear country: •Make noise while walking or hiking to prevent surprising a bear. Clap, sing, or talk loudly. •Travel in a group if possible. •Pay attention to the surroundings and watch for bear sign, such as tracks or claw or

bite marks on trees. •Keep dogs leashed. •Leave a bear alone! Do not approach it. Make sure it has an escape route. •If encountering a bear up close, back away slowly with arms raised to look larger. Speak in a calm, loud voice. Do not turn away from the bear. Back away slowly. Do not run. •Report bear sightings by calling MDC at 573-522-4115, ext. 3080 or online at http://bit. ly/2ya2lhe. W hen H unt ing a nd F ishing MDC offers this advice when hunting or fishing in bear country: •Process or remove fish and game as quickly as possible, and alert others that there is game residue in the area. •Keep a clean camp and store attractants where bears can’t access them. •Stay alert and aware of your surroundings while hunting or fishing.

Daviess County Courthouse ast ntrance by rank ra ier Post V W Au iliary

October 4, 2017 Nov. 1, 2017

Christmas around the square (continued from page one) courthouse lawn from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. There will be a cookie/candy/ cake/pie contest in the Times and Seasons Restaurant from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Judging will be at 2:30. Your entries will need to be inside the building by noon. Winners will be announced after the parade and tree lighting. There will also be a fundraiser for the Patrick McBroom Scholarship fund. Winning entries in the coloring contest will be displayed at Frost Automotive. First and second place contest winners will ride on a float in the parade. M ary W eldon looks ov er her abstract book that contains the history of a house in Gallatin and the land it was built on.

Old house (continued from page one) Later owners of the house were John Gotschall — his abstract is dated 1967; and Jerry Woody, dated 1972. Mary was working at the shoe factory in Gallatin when the Cameron State Bank called and asked if she was interested in the house on Clay Street. She bought it for $17,000 in 1975. She did some work on it too. In the top, the attic, there were windows on each end for ventilation. She and her husband Jack looked closer and realized the windows were red, diamond-shaped, stained glass which had been painted white on the outside. One of the windows was complete. They removed it along with the original wood. That window now hangs in Mary’s bedroom. The other window had a broken piece which had been replaced with tin. They were unable to save the window, but they

had several things made from the glass. Mary’s abstract goes from 1738 to 1973, the year she bought the house. She later sold the house, but she kept the abstract. “I’m getting older now,” she said. “I’d like the abstract to be preserved somehow. But I’d like to get a little out of it.” If you’re interested in purchasing the abstract, which is kept in a lock box at a bank, call her at 816-575-1052. Mary now lives in Kidder. She stays busy making quilts and baking for the farmer’s market next door. The house in Gallatin is presently owned by Bert and Sherry Carpenter. They bought it in 2010. “We had a lot of great times in that house,” said Mary. “It has a wonderful history that I’m happy to share with others.”

F ood Court !

There will be a food court on East Grand Street featuring the following: Toeneboehn’s Made From Scratch; Penny Webb’s Homemade Tenderloins; It’s a Wrap; and Janny’s Java.

A few blocks north of the square are Casey’s and Mi Mexico Restaurant. Ladies of the United Methodist Church will be selling walking tacos and loaded baked potatoes in the church basement; caramel apples will be sold as a fundraiser for Gallatin’s prom lock-in at the Automated Artesan building (old 3B Silversmiths) across from Shopko.

H ere c om es S a nt a !

Santa, Mrs. Claus and their elf will arrive by sleigh at 2 p.m. at the courthouse. Train rides will be available from 1 to 3 p.m., and sleigh rides from 2 to 4 p.m.

OATS launches Fund-A-Bus Shoe Drive OATS, Inc., a Missouri-based non-profit company, is conducting a Fund-A-Bus shoe drive, which will run through the end of this year to raise money for a new bus. OATS will earn money based on the total weight of shoes collected, and hopes to collect more than 2,500 pair of shoes. OATS has partnered with Funds2Orgs, who will issue a check for the collected shoes. The money raised will go toward the 20% local match to purchase a new bus. Anyone can help by donating gently worn, used and new shoes at any OATS regional office or by giving to any OATS driver. Donated shoes are redistributed throughout the Funds2Orgs

network of micro-enterprise partners. They work with microentrepreneurs in helping them create, maintain and grow small businesses in developing countries where economic opportunity and jobs are limited. Proceeds from the sales of the shoes collected in shoe drive fundraisers are used to feed, clothe and house their families. By donating gently worn, used and new shoes to OATS, the shoes will be given a second chance and make a difference in people’s lives around the world. OATS, Inc. is a not-for-profit corporation providing transportation for the rural general public of all ages, to those with disabilities and senior citizens in 87 Missouri counties.

MoDOT prepares for winter with drill Two students inducted into Pattonsburg NHS Juniors Shaila Kramer, daughter of Tiffany and Brandon Heath, and Dillon Turner, son of Jennifer and Tim Turner, were recently honored by being inducted into the Pattonsburg chapter of National Honor Society. Induction into NHS is based on grade point average, leadership, and community service activities. Officers leading the organization this year are Katie Warford, president; Justin Booth, vice president; and Jackson Zamora, secretary. Aubree Krugh is the sponsor.

Pattonsburg food drive underway to help senior center A canned food drive will be held by the Pattonsburg School Nov. 1-13 in association with the Pattonsburg Multi-Purpose Center. Any and all non perishable goods will be collected and donated. Class Competition: One class from the elementary building and one class from the secondary building will receive a pizza party. The class with the highest number of goods donated will win. Secondary class sponsors will be responsible for collecting donated goods. All donations will be gathered on Nov. 13 and the winner will be announced Nov. 17.

The chill in the air and the falling leaves mean winter weather will be here soon. To prepare, the Missouri Department of Transportation is stocking salt and preparing equipment to be ready when winter weather is here. To test our crews’ readiness, MoDOT will hold a statewide drill on Thursday, Nov. 2. The drill tests MoDOT’s winter battle plan to ensure its readiness to get travelers back on Missouri roadways as quickly as possible after winter storms. “Over 3,200 MoDOT employees are involved in our winter operations, including every maintenance crew across the state,” said State Maintenance Engineer Becky Allmeroth. “The annual drill helps to make sure we all know our roles during a storm, and we can do our jobs successfully.” During the drill, MoDOT employees will react to a simulated forecast of significant snow for the entire state. The department’s emergency operations centers will activate and maintenance employees will be deployed to MoDOT’s 1,500 trucks. Emergency communications systems will also be tested. The Missouri Department of Transportation annually spends an average of $45 million to keep roads clear in the winter and help ensure motorists get to their destinations safely and quickly. For information on road conditions across the state, safe traveling tips, and other winter weather information, visit www. modot.org.

The Winston Character Plus Committee and sponsor Mrs. Pliley had a busy week planning and celebrating not only Halloween but Red Ribbon Week. The local organization of Winston students planned dress-up days, door decorating, and handed out candy all week to students who displayed the “drug-free” ribbons and stickers. Red Ribbon Week is a nationally recognized and celebrated week in schools from kindergarten through high school. Students are reminded of the dangers of drugs and other destructive decisions, and are encouraged to stay drug free. As the week wrapped up at Winston, the Character Plus Committee organized a Trunkor-Treat and Chili Supper. The Trunk-or-Treat was well attended by many community children who braved frigid temperatures. Special recognition is extended to all of the community volunteers who were willing to stand in 30 degree temperatures and hand out candy to local youth. The event culminated with everyone warming up with a chili supper. Attendees enjoyed steaming bowls of homemade chili and fresh brownies. The board of education once again volunteered to serve the meal to the community. Over 60 people enjoyed the dinner. T runk or T reat, shown at right and below, was well attended despite frigid tem peratures!

D oors were decorated which highlighted the dangers of using drugs.
