BIG BUCK

FEVER

708 deer taken during firearms opening weekend Preliminary data from the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) shows that deer hunters in Daviess County harvested 708 deer during the opening weekend of the November portion of the fall firearms deer season Nov. 16 and 17. Of the 708 deer harvested, 429 were antlered bucks, 54 were button bucks, and 225 were does.

Young hunters in Daviess harvested a total of 145 deer -- 96 antlered bucks, eight but-

ton bucks, and 41 does -- during Missouri’s early youth portion of the 2019 deer hunting season on Nov. 2-3.

Missouri harvested 88,843 deer during the same opening weekend: 51,086 were antlered bucks, 8,115 were button bucks, and 29,642 were does. Top harvest counties for the opening weekend were Franklin with 2,078 deer checked, Texas with 1,931, and Callaway with 1,735.

Last year, hunters checked 99,470 deer during the opening weekend of the 2018 November portion of firearms deer season.

The November portion of fall firearms deer seasons continues through Nov. 26.

Archery deer season opens again Nov. 27 through Jan. 15, 2020. The late youth portion runs Nov. 29 through Dec. 1. The antlerless portion runs Dec. 6-8. The alternative methods portion runs Dec. 28 through Jan. 7, 2020.

It’s magic this Saturday!

David Sandy to light up Courter stage

Christmas around the Square will be magical this year — in more ways than one. New this year will be a magic show by Daviess County native David Sandy.

Sandy will be performing at the Courter Theater from 10:30 to 11:45 a.m. on Saturday, Nov. 23, during the seventh annual Christmas around the Square event, which is sponsored by the Friends of Gallatin/Christmas Around the Square Committee.

“I am looking forward to presenting my show and entertaining everyone who joins us at the Courter Theater on Nov. 23,” says Sandy. “The show is very family-friendly and is geared for both adults and children. It will include lots of audience participation, comedy, and of course, magic. It’ll be a lot of fun for the entire family.”

Sandy took up magic as a hobby at the young age of six. After entertaining his fellow firstgraders with a simple card trick taught to him by his father, David was hooked.

“I did my very first magic performance in Gallatin when I was only seven years old,” recalls Sandy. “Even though that was 49 years ago, I remember it well... it was at Dockery Park.”

As a youngster, he began entertaining at service organization banquets, scouting events, local meetings and schools. His reputation as a great entertainer even as a teenager took him to resorts, theaters and conventions where he was often the featured entertainer. At the age

of 14, he met Faucett W. Ross, a retired professional magician who lived in St. Joseph. Faucett became David’s close friend and mentor.

David Sandy has been entertaining professionally throughout the heart of America and along both coasts since the 1970s, including regular appearances at the world-famous Magic Castle in Hollywood, Calif.

David has been twice awarded the title of “Stage Magician of the Year,” in addition to being named “Close-Up Magician of the Year” from Ring 129 of the International Brotherhood of Magicians. He is also a member of the prestigious Inner Magic

Circle of London, England, and an honorary lifetime member of the world-famous Magic Castle in Hollywood, CA. In addition to his busy performing schedule, David works as a producer of a variety of touring shows, symphonic concerts, festivals and special events.

“Even though my magic has taken me all over the world, I absolutely love coming back and performing in the area where I grew up and it all started,” Sandy says.

There are plenty of other holiday activities planned for Nov. 23. See the Christmas Around the Square ad in the Ad Zone or North Missourian for details.

Visit a tropical island nest this weekend

“Gilligan’s Island The Musical” has come aground on stage at the Courter Theater in Gallatin. The show is set for 7 p.m. on Nov. 21-2223. Tickets are on sale at Eileine’s Beauty Shop in Gallatin and one hour prior to show time.

Toys for Tots underway, community support urged In an effort to make this holiday season a little brighter for children aged newborn to 11 years, the Gallatin Police will once again facilitate the Toys for Tots program for Gallatin and Daviess County.

Chief Mark Richards has delivered collection barrels in Gallatin to Dollar General and the Lake Viking office, and donation jars to Casey’s, Dungy’s, Corner Café, Subway and Mi Mexico.

Anyone wishing to make a donation can drop off new, unwrapped toys to any of the drop off boxes or make a monetary donation to the jar.

Anyone wanting to request an item can pick up a wish list from the Adventist Community Service Center (only open on

Wednesdays) or from Gallatin City Hall. Return the applications to city hall. Watch for more information on the Gallatin Police social media site.

The Marine Toys for Tots Foundation is an IRS recognized 501(c)(3) not-for-profit public charity which was created at the behest of the U.S. Marine Corps in 1991.

Chief Richards is designated as the Toys for Tots Coordinator for the community.

“The Gallatin Police have been organizing the Toys for Tots program for the past 11 years,” Chief Richards says. “All donations stay local and the program is coordinated locally. Last year, 90 families, most with two or more children, received toys.”

Shopko was a sponsor of the Toys for Tots program. Now that the store has closed, the community will be relied on more than ever.

As coordinator, Chief Richards is responsible for planning, organizing and conducting the campaign. He picks up the toys and stores them in central warehouses, which for Gallatin is a donated storage unit. At Christmas, Chief Richards, with the assistance of local students from Gallatin High School and local volunteers, distributes the toys to the less fortunate children in Gallatin and Daviess County.

The objectives of Toys for Tots are to help less fortunate children throughout the United States experience the joy of

Community Thanksgiving Worship Service 7 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 24 at the Assembly of God Church, Gallatin

Christmas; to play an active role in the development of one of our nation’s most valuable resources – our children; to unite all members of local communities in a common cause for three months each year during the annual toy collection and distribution campaign; and to contribute to better communities in the future.

The primary goal of Toys for Tots is to deliver, through a new toy at Christmas, a message of hope to less fortunate youngsters that will assist them in becoming responsible, productive, patriotic citizens.

Area businesses wishing to become a drop-off point or anyone wanting to make a donation to support the program can call Gallatin Police at 660-663-3580.

OPINION

Nov. 20, 2019

Every good act is a choice Another holiday approaches and, to be honest, it’s New Year’s rather than Thanksgiving that’s on my mind. Let me rephrase that.

It’s a particular resolution I made at the dawn of some new year past that bothers me.

I resolved to be more thankful. I even bought a box of thank you cards with accompanying envelopes to make such random acts of thankfulness more convenient. But, sadly, when I pull open my desk drawer I see quite a few of these notes still blank. The count remaining in the box is like a scorecard ...and I’m losing.

I’m probably not alone. For most folks thank you cards have gone by the way of 8-track tape players and pagers. The art of writing has lost ground to misspelled emails sans capital letters and short hand text messages: “thnx 4 th G8 time last Off the Editor’s Spike... ngt call me b4 u leave this a.m.”

I knew we were in trouble when I heard they wanted to quit teaching cursive writing to school kids. Thanks to technology, we’re raising an entire generation that has learned to write like a robot with hiccups.

by Darryl Wilkinson This past weekend was mostly spent cleaning up and rearranging my mother’s basement. A mid-summer water leak played havoc with the carpet and for months we heeded the warning: “Don’t go down there ...stay away from the basement.” But sometimes it’s kinda interesting what you’ll find in someone else’s basement. In this case, cards.

Birthday cards. Lots of them. Evidently, mom has never thrown one away.

Mom’s generation used to send out thank you notes for birthday gifts received. Perhaps that’s an effective way of making “Thank You” a habit. They’d write a thank you note for Christmas gifts, encouraging phone calls, uplifting sermons, well-run meetings, and even an occasional crisply fried piece of chicken.

Every good act is a choice. When a baby is born he’s selfish. If you’ve got something good on your plate he’ll want to grab it. A little later, if one’s got a toy then the other wants it. Some of the biggest conflicts occur over the most little of things, like sharing table space when you’re playing with Legos. You’ve got to learn to be nice.

I recall the story about a lady who once wrote to her neighbor saying, “Thelma, you probably know this, but you’ve raised two of the best boys in our community. I’m sure that seeing the fine young men they’ve become is thanks enough, but I just wanted to add my little thank you for making the world a better place by the way you raise kids.”

When Thelma died, her sons said that they found the yellowed note tucked under the front flap of her Bible. It had rested there some 30 years as a constant reminder of friendship, and an encouragement.

It’s not difficult to look around our community on this Thanksgiving season and find reasons for little notes of appreciation. For instance, we had another outstanding Chautauqua weekend not long ago. Did you notice how the streets suddenly got clean with fresh paint marking the parking stripes and handicapped sidewalk ramps?

Then there’s a father who comes to mind, the one who donated the BBQ meat to assure the fund-raiser for the church youth group would be a success. What about all that brick tuck-point work finished or still underway on buildings near Gallatin’s 4-way stop? I’m thankful we’ve got landowners who still care about our town and invest for its future.

Opportunities to thank someone are everywhere ... the teacher who laughed with understanding instead of slamming your son up against the back wall as he deserved when he said something inappropriate in class, the waitress who rises early to serve you at your leisure, even the policeman who (compared to some others) isn’t really that bad even as he’s writing up your traffic ticket.

Folks who are truly thankful know a secret. They know how good it does a person to give thanks. It’s a therapy of sorts that, done right, can be contagious. And if one person you know has spent a lifetime giving thanks to others in his or her own way ... well, add one more reason to give thanks.

Every good act is a choice; it really has nothing to do with New Year’s resolutions. It doesn’t have to involve big things. But you have to do more than just think about making the effort. That box of thank you cards in the top drawer of my desk is my reminder. What’s yours?

Stop the disappearing act

by Nicole Galloway, CPA Missouri State Auditor

A common magic trick is to make something disappear right in front of the audience. We know it’s just an illusion, but a good magician makes the act entertaining.

Some politicians in Jefferson City have perfected a far less amusing trick – making public records on their electronic devices disappear through self-deleting applications. Faster than you can say “David Copperfield,” the record of that public business is permanently gone.

Public business conducted in secret prevents taxpayers from holding government accountable. And as we’ve seen from the ongoing lawsuit about the use of the Confide app by former Governor Greitens, such secrecy also can cost taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal bills.

As State Auditor, I work to ensure the proper use of public funds and to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of Missouri government. I believe the public’s business should be done in the open, and my audits point out when a government entity isn’t following the Sunshine Law. Let’s be clear: from the Governor’s office to the village board of aldermen, self-deleting apps have no place in government.

Shop locally throughout the year

by State Sen. Dan Hegeman

The start of the holiday season also signals the beginning of the holiday shopping season. We are constantly bombarded with advertisements, this sale and that sale, and the convenience of shopping online. But, there is something much more convenient than the Internet, and it is in our own backyard.

We are blessed with many local retailers in Northwest Missouri. These are our friends, family members and people we know, right here in our own communities. They have taken the

risks of opening businesses and found whatever level of success they currently enjoy.

While some people open their laptops or pull out their phones to make a purchase, the rest of us make a short trip to see someone down the street for individualized and personalized service we cannot find anywhere else.

This concept of shopping locally has been taken a step further by our lieutenant governor, who promotes a program called “Buy Missouri.” This is an economic development initiative that actively promotes the Show-

Me State to other states, and the world, the products that are grown, manufactured, processed and/or made in Missouri. It is also a great way to see a lot of businesses that exist in our state.

With so many great people and an abundance of buying options, there is no reason to stay at home and let a website take your order, in the hopes they get it right. People feel better knowing their hard-earned dollars are staying in their own community, and will benefit everybody, when they shop locally.

A capital turkey for a Thanksgiving gift of memories For this Thanksgiving season, I have a story about some special summer visitors to our backyard not far from the statehouse. They are Betsy and her two children. While just turkeys, they had a profound impact on my wife and me.

Lori named her Betsy because she reminded us of colonial times when Benjamin Franklin described the turkey as “a much more respectable Bird” than the bald eagle. Franklin capitalized “Bird” in his letter. As Betsy and her chicks, properly termed poults, continued their visits to our backyard, we began to appreciate Franklin’s portrayal.

Betsy is one of the most majestic, nearly fearless and proud birds we’ve seen.

Before getting to know Betsy, I thought of turkeys as just targets for hunters or something for me to smoke on Thanksgiving. But from Betsy’s regular appearances, I realized why Franklin was so impressed with these birds.

Betsy was attracted to our backyard by the corn kernels laying on the ground from a couple of squirrel corn feeders.

Squirrels eat only the best part of the corn kernel and then drop to the ground piles of partially eaten kernels.

By way of background, we’ve got a long history with squirrels. We even raised two abandoned baby squirrels, transitioning them back into the wild. One of those squirrels was a surprise visitor to Missouri’s Senate. But that’s a story for another column.

Anyway, for most of the summer Betsy would appear with her two poults once or twice a day at nearly predictable times.

She became confident to by Phill approach the backyard Brooks patio when I offered a cob of uneaten corn.

I have no doubt Betsy would have pecked the corn cob in my hand. But as a creature of the wild, I did not want her to become too comfortable with humans. So I’d leave the cob in the grass.

Initially, her poults, were not so brave.

They restricted themselves to the partially eaten corn kernels under the corn feeders further away from the patio. As her poults grew to near-adult turkeys, their relationship with Betsy began to change.

They eventually joined Betsy in her corn-cob feast. At first, they joined Betsy

only if the cob was far enough away from the patio and only after Betsy had spent time pecking away. Later, they immediately would go to the corn cob when they entered our yard, regardless of its distance from the patio.

Finally, rather than Betsy deciding when it was time to depart, the two poults made the decision, with Betsy following behind. Because the poults remained wary of humans, that made their visits to our backyard briefer. Then, in late summer, their daily visits ceased.

While regretting her departure, we understood the seasonal patterns of wildlife.

Because their visits stopped before the fall turkey firearm hunting season, we were not particularly concerned. Besides, we live in Jefferson City where hunting is restricted severely.

Reading about turkeys, I learned that mother turkeys raise their poults away from the main flock and rejoin flocks only after their poults reach maturity.

By the final weeks of their visits, Bety’s

Capitol Perspectives

Broadband elusive after 50 years

By Eric Bohl

On Oct. 29, historians and computer scientists celebrated the 50th birthday of the internet. On that day in 1969, the very first login to the internet occurred. The “birth” connected a terminal at UCLA to the Stanford Research Institute, about 350 miles away.

We have made unfathomable progress in the past 50 years. Unfortunately, that progress has been unevenly distributed. Rural and low-income Americans are increasingly on the wrong side of a growing digital divide.

According to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), nearly 68 percent of those without home broadband live in rural communities. The FCC also found that only 53 percent of adults with incomes below $30,000 have broadband at home, compared to 95 percent of those making over $75,000.

Too often, well-off urban and suburban areas are plugged in to the modern economy and culture while rural residents are left behind. Abandoning our homes, farms and rural communities and moving to the city is not a realistic solution. We need our rural areas. They produce our food, the fiber that makes our clothes, they grow much of our fuel and they provide a stable base upon which the rest of our economy sits. We need to strengthen our foundations, not abandon them.

For example, taking better care of the land is a high priority for farmers. One of the best ways to improve stewardship is by using less fertilizer and fewer pesticides. Precision farming – using hightech data collection, soil testing and mapping – reduces the need for these inputs. It also can reduce

farmers’ costs and increase yields at the same time, making it a win-win solution.

Unfortunately, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) reported in 2017 that 29 percent of U.S. farms have no access to the internet whatsoever, much less broadband access. Without broadband connections, farmers cannot use these breakthrough technologies to improve their operations.

Missouri has lagged behind other states in broadband deployment. Research by broadbandnow.com places us 41st in broadband connectivity – an abysmal ranking on such a critical need for our state’s future.

In recent years, Missouri has taken steps to improve its broadband deployment. In 2018, the state created an Office of Broadband Development within the Department of Economic Development.

In 2019, the state legislature followed Governor Parson’s lead and appropriated $5 million to fund a Broadband Grant Program. This program will help rural and underserved areas gain access to highquality service at affordable prices.

Missouri Farm Bureau is doing its part to improve broadband access for all Missourians. Our organization has been involved in these discussions for several years. We continue to push our policymakers to do even more.

Personal stories of ordinary Missourians’ struggles and successes make a big difference. We would love to hear how broadband, or lack thereof, affects you. Go to mofb.org/broadband and tell us today. Together we can make rural Missouri stronger and better-prepared for the future.

Editor’s note: Eric Bohl of Columbia, MO, is the Director of Public Affairs & Advocacy for Missouri Farm Bureau.

poults had grown so large it was difficult to distinguish them from Betsy at a distance. An indication that she’d joined her flock was when a neighbor saw her with a group of other adult turkeys shortly after her last visit with us.

While saddened, my heart was warmed that by following her poults who never were as comfortable in our backyard as Betsy, she demonstrated a lesson I learned teaching younger journalists covering the statehouse -- that eventually you need to let the new generation take the lead.

My wife and I hope Betsy returns to our backyard next summer to enjoy the copious kernels of corn dropped by the squirrels. But if not, she’s left a warm memory with us as well as a lesson of eventually letting a new generation take the lead.

So, thanks Betsy, for a Thanksgiving gift of memories we’ll always treasure.

Two hurt in crash

Sweet potatoes: native American crop

by Tim Baker, MU Regional Horticulturist

As we approach Thanksgiving, we are often reminded of the holiday’s origin, with images of Pilgrims and Native Americans celebrating a bountiful harvest.

Certain foods are associated with the holiday as well, especially turkey. But vegetables played a role in that celebration too, with several crops that were native to the Americas. Native American crops that quickly come to mind include corn, squash and pumpkins, but that list should also include sweet potatoes.

The sweet potato is classified in the same family as morning glory, and grows as a vinetype plant. They are tropical plants, and need a fairly long growing season to develop roots that are large enough to eat. Fortunately, they can be eaten at any stage, and do not have to ripen. So if cold weather cuts the growing season short, you can eat whatever the plant has produced, no matter what the size of the roots.

Unlike the Irish potato, which produces an edible tuber, sweet potatoes produce a storage root, which we eat. Tubers are modified, underground stems, which differ botanically from roots.

Sweet potatoes are also not the same plant as true yams, which are classed in a different family.

Sweet potatoes are an excellent source of beta-carotene, vitamin C, and potassium.

I’m not sure if the Pilgrims enjoyed sweet potatoes at that first Thanksgiving dinner or not, but they may have already been familiar with them before they came to America. Columbus found sweet potatoes on his first voyage, and took them back to Europe. They were widely cultivated in Spain, Portugal and Italy during the 16th century.

Sweet potatoes used to rank higher in importance than they do today. Before World War II, they were second only to Irish potatoes in importance of all vegetables. In 1920, for example, the average person consumed around 31 pounds of sweet potatoes annually. By 1940, consumption was down to around 21 pounds. Today, we are closer to 5 pounds annually.

If you want to grow sweet potatoes, keep in mind that they are a tropical plant, and require hot weather to do well. Plants are started from roots, which

are grown in hotbeds. The small plants arising from the mother roots are allowed to develop their own root system. Then, they are pulled from the mother roots, and are called “slips,” which are transplanted in the field.

Sweet potatoes do not tolerate frost. In fact, they are subject to chilling injury, where plants are damaged at cold temperatures that are well above the freezing point. They should be harvested before or immediately after the first frost. After the weather cools off, the roots will not grow much more anyway, so you may want to harvest before frost.

Sweet potatoes may be stored for some time, but they should be kept relatively warm, compared to other storage crops. The ideal storage temperature is between 55 and 60 degrees. Do not store them where the temperature will drop below 50 degrees. Cover them with plastic to keep the humidity up, but check them from time to time to make sure it is not too moist. Be sure to remove any rotten, decayed roots.

Two people were hurt in a two-vehicle accident that happened at about 11 a.m. on Nov. 12 one mile west of Pattonsburg.

According to the highway patrol, Kyler Graves, 35, Trenton, was traveling east on Elmwood Avenue in a 2005 Pontiac Sunfire. Thomas Lambert, 86, Pattonsburg, was traveling west in a 2003 Chevrolet Avalanche.

Graves came over a hill crest and collided head-on with the front of Lambert’s vehicle. Graves’ vehicle spun off the south side of the road and came to rest on its wheels, facing northwest. Lambert’s vehicle ran off the north side of the road and came to rest on its wheels, facing west.

Kyler Graves was taken by NTA to Cameron Regional. He was wearing his seat belt. Thomas Lambert was taken by private vehicle to Cameron Regional. He was not wearing his seat belt.

Summit Gas rates down for Gallatin To reflect estimated changes in the wholesale cost of natural gas as well as a change in the company’s actual cost adjustment factor, Summit Natural Gas residential customers will see natural gas rates change under a filing that takes effect on Nov. 15.

Residential customers in the Gallatin Division currently pay approximately $0.43 per Ccf (per hundred cubic feet) of natural gas. Under this filing, the rate will decrease to approximately $0.36 per Ccf — a decrease of approximately $0.07 per Ccf. According to the Summit Natural Gas filing, the decrease will cause an average winter month residential gas bill to decrease by approximately $8.57.

The Actual Cost Adjustment factor is a mechanism which tracks any over-collection or under-collection of actual natural gas costs over a 12 month period.

The net over- or under-collected balances are subsequently either refunded or collected the next year.

Gas customers watch for scams Many electric, water, and natural gas customers throughout the country are being targeted by impostor utility scams each day. Scammers typically use phone, in-person, and online tactics to target customers. Raising awareness and educating customers about scams is Utilities United Against Scams (UUAS) top priority.

UUAS will continue to help spread awareness of the suspicious behaviors and the evolving tactics that scammers use to target customers. It is important that customers call their utilities directly to check on the status of their accounts if they are ever unsure about the authenticity of a caller or the identity of a service worker, or if they suspect any fraudulent activity.

Disconnection Deception: Scammers call threatening disconnection of your utility service, demanding immediate payment by prepaid cards.

Power Restoration Charge: Scammers call offering to restore power more quickly for a fee in the aftermath of severe storms causing widespread power outages.

Overpayment Tactic Scammers: call claiming you have overpaid your utility bill, and you need to provide personal bank account information or a credit card number to facilitate a refund.

Vacate Your Home Scammers: claim there is a need to replace metering or other equipment and you must leave your home for 72 hours.

Identification Attack: Rather than directing victims to call a 1-800 number, the scammers direct the caller to press 1 to collect more data in an effort to get personally identifiable information.

Door Knocking Impostor: Door-to-door impostors pose as utility workers to gain entry or access into unsuspecting victims’ homes.

Facebook Charity Scam: Social media posts are telling customers that a charity will pay for their utility bills if the customer first makes a partial payment by money transfer. This new scam is still under investigation by authorities.

Operation Christmas Child this week, shoe boxes go to 160 countries This month, sites in the Daviess County area will be among thousands of U.S. drop-off locations collecting shoebox gifts for children overseas during Operation Christmas Child’s National Collection Week, Nov. 18-25.

Local shoe boxes may be delivered to the First Baptist Church at Pattonsburg, 13911 Hwy. 69, between 2-6 p.m. on Nov. 18, 19, 20, 21, 22; and between 8 a.m.-6 p.m. on Nov. 23; and 2-6 p.m. on Nov. 24; and 7-9:30 a.m. on Nov. 25.

Area families, churches and groups are busy transforming empty shoeboxes into fun gifts filled with toys, school supplies and hygiene items.

The Samaritan’s Purse project partners with local churches across the globe to deliver these tangible expressions of God’s love to children affected by war, disease, disaster, poverty and famine. For many of these children, it will be the first gift they have ever received.

For more information on

how to participate in Operation Christmas Child, call 816-6228316, or visit samaritanspurse. org/occ. Participants can donate $9 per shoebox gift online through “Follow Your Box” and receive a tracking label to discover its destination.

Those who prefer the convenience of online shopping can browse samaritanspurse. org/buildonline to select gifts matched to a child’s specific age and gender, then finish packing the virtual shoebox by adding a photo and personal note of encouragement.

Operation Christmas Child is a project of Samaritan’s Purse, an international Christian relief and evangelism organization headed by Franklin Graham.

The mission of Operation Christmas Child is to demonstrate God’s love in a tangible way to children in need around the world. Since 1993, Operation Christmas Child has collected and delivered more than 168 million shoeboxes to children in more than 160 countries.

Fun Facts: The first Thanksgiving was celebrated in 1621 over a three day harvest festival. Turkey wasn’t on the menu at the first Thanksgiving. Abraham Lincoln proclaimed Thanksgiving a national holiday on October 3, 1863.

Big Mack on Saturday’s menu Panthers hang on to beat Worth County, 74-62, for district title It’s two down and one to go for the Pattonsburg/Gilman City/North Harrison Panthers in their 8-man football journey that will hopefully provide a final stop at the University of Missouri’s Faurot Field on Saturday, Nov. 30.

As they’ve done all season, the Panthers rode the passing arm of senior Steven Willhite to a 74-62 victory over Worth County last Friday night in the district championship/state quarterfinal round. The Panthers led by 40 points in the third quarter but had to hold off the Tigers, who scored 5 of the last 6 touchdowns in the fourth quarter.

Pattonsburg travels to Ludlow to face Southwest/Hale/ Tina-Avalon in Saturday’s semifinal round. Southwest defeated North Shelby, 56-38, last Friday

behind a bruising running game.

The Panthers broke away with 5 straight touchdowns in the third quarter, building a 6828 lead in the process. Willhite tossed 9 of his game-ending 10 TDs through the first 3 periods, hitting Patrick Cowley, Carter Crone, Dakota Eaton and Brett Emig with one or more scoring bombs. The senior signal caller also scored on a 6-yard run in the first quarter.

The Tigers kept the ball in the hands of sophomore quarterback Ayden Gladstone, who scored 7 of his team’s 9 touchdowns. Gladstone scored 3 times in the fourth quarter to cut into the Panther lead. Worth County also cashed in with a pair of “pick six” interceptions.

The Panthers take some impressive stats into Saturday’s

PHS Statistics vs. Worth Co.:

Passing: Willhite 32-53-622, 10 TD, 4 INT. Rushing: Willhite 12-36, TD; Cowley 4-30.

Receiving: Cowley 18-282, 4 TD; Eaton 4-154, TD; Emig 6-113, 3 TD; Crone 4-68, 2 TD; Langfitt 1-5.

Leading tacklers: Eaton 13/2, Cowley 8/3, Koch 5/3, Crone 4/6, Emig 3/5.

Takeaways: Interception: Emig, Cowley, Eaton. Fumble recovery: Goll. Forced fumble: Eaton, Crone.

semifinal. Willhite owns the Missouri High School record for most TD passes in a season (88) and passing yards in a single season (4,954). He also owns the state mark for total yards (5,586) per season and total yards per game (507.9). The North Harrison senior needs 23 pass attempts to set a MHS single season mark and needs only 7 pass completions to set another new state record.

Last Friday’s outcome also saw Cowley set a new state record for single season pass receptions (134) and single season touchdown receptions (34).

Just as the Panthers were forced to key on Worth County quarter back Ayden Gladstone, they will have to keep tabs on Southwest QB Mack Anderson on Saturday. The Wildcat senior accounted for 261 of his team’s 304 total yards in last season’s playoff loss to the Panthers. Anderson ran for 324 yards and 7 TDs and passed for 87 yards and

Patrick Cowley caught 18 passes for 282 yards and 4 touchdowns on Friday. [Staff photo/DC] another score in last week’s victory over North Shelby.

The Drexel/Miami Tigers blasted previously undefeated Appleton City/Montrose, 65-6, to continue their journey into the semifinal round, where they will

face Mound City/Craig on the road on Saturday. The Tigers took advance of 5 turnovers in downing the Raiders.

Mound City avenged an earlier loss to East Atchison (Tarkio/ Craig) last Friday, 48-26.

Holiday Hoops volunteers needed High School Holiday Hoops 2019 will tip off in another month and once again, an army of volunteers are needed in supporting roles for the on-going effectiveness of the big event. Hoops Director Steve Maxey says that over 250 volunteers regularly assist in the multi-day event and nothing has changed, that number will be needed once again.

Holiday Hoops 2019 will begin on Friday, Dec. 14 with nearly 70 games being played at the Ketcham Community Center on the NCMC campus in Trenton.

The final games will be played on Dec. 31. High School Holiday Hoops is sponsored by the North Central Missouri College Foundation.

Volunteer roles to be filled include serving as team hosts, operating the official clock and keeping the official scorebook, assisting with hospitality and hosting the official hoops counter. “As in the past, numerous organizations and businesses have hosted specific days allowing them to function at the front gate selling tickets and programs. And this year, more groups are becoming involved in this role,” says Maxey, “allowing for better management of this volunteer need.”

“Individuals wanting to assist with Holiday Hoops receive no compensation but are presented with admission passes

allowing them to attend any and all games when not working,” says Maxey. “This is the least we can do to thank the many volunteers who support the largest high school holiday basketball shoot-out in the state.”

Persons wanting to assist should forward their name, desired volunteer role and phone number or email address to Steve Maxey at 660-359-7244 or maxeysteve@gmail.com.

Persons wanting to become a team host can also contact Joel Hultman, Chair of Team Hosts at 660-654-0540 or emailing him at jhultman@trentonr9.k12. mo.us. Furthermore, volunteers may contact Alicia Endicott in the NCMC Foundation Office at 660-357-6403 and share their interests.

Winston school … lights on!

If you see some lights on inside the Winston R-6 School at night … no, staff did not forget and leave the lights on. The school has upgraded to LED lights everywhere. Some of the lights are wired to be on all the time to increase safety and security of the buildings. Besides, the Redbird looks pretty awesome through the front doors at night!

Please note: There will be no school Nov. 27-29 for Thanksgiving.

The Winston school board meeting was held Nov. 18 between the girls and boys games.

Applicants for Free and Reduced Lunch from the USDA can still be turned into the office. There is more involved, however, than meals. For each qualified child, your school re-

ceives approximately $3,200 in extra Federal and State money.

The program is funded by income taxes that you have already paid. This money can be used for instructional materials, textbooks, and other items necessary to improve the education of your children. Every school district is going to get funding.

With your help, a larger share will come back to your school district instead of going to a neighboring school.

R-5 FBLA attends leadership conference in Denver

Nine members of the Gallatin FBLA Chapter traveled to Denver, CO, the mile-high city situated 5,672 feet above sea level in the shadows of the Rocky Mountains, to attend the National Fall Leadership Conference (NFLC) Nov. 13-17. The trip included motivational speakers and workshops held at the Sheraton Denver Downtown Convention Center.

The NFLC is the premier leadership opportunity for America’s business students each fall to focus on leadership development and career planning. Workshops from industry leaders expanded horizons of many students, and two general session keynotes rounded out the conference, with speakers John Guydon and Anne Bonney. Ms.

Bonney encouraged FBLA members to “Get Over It” when things don’t go as planned and keep pushing forward towards their goals.

In Colorado, members got to take in the sites and landmarks of the Rocky Mountains including a trip to the Garden of the Gods, Rocky Mountain National Park, Estes Park, and the Royal Gorge Bridge. Student members zip lined and sky coastered across the Royal Gorge and enjoyed an afternoon ice skating at Big Bear Ice Arena.

Members were accompanied on the trip by local chapter adviser, Barb Holcomb, and Angel Michael.

Church of Christ (108 E. Johnson St.) — Charles Ross, Evangelist; Lord’s Day

As we once again approach First Baptist Church (511 W. Richardson St.) — Bro. Wood Marshall, youth pastor.

Bible Study 9:30 to 10:30 a.m.; Worship 10:40 a.m. (nursery provided). Evening Worship Thanksgiving Day, I've been thinking, “How can such an important word be at 6 p.m.; Tuesday Bible study 6 p.m., Wednesday Adult Choir 8:05 p.m. For transportaso brief?” It can be spoken so quickly the recipient often misses it. tion, call church office at 663.663.2331.Office hours: 8 to 11 a.m. weekdays. Email: fbchurch@windstream.net Visit: www.firstbaptistgallatinmo.org Shouldn't gratitude merit a larger word, a word that requires some First Christian Church (1501 S. Main St.) — Rev. Kyle Taft, pastor; Children’s Pastor effort to say? Maybe a word like antidisestablishmentarianism, reportedly Emily Miller. Sunday worship at 9 a.m.; Sunday School at 10 a.m. Wednesday Prayer Meetings at 5:30 p.m. followed by Bible Study at 6 p.m.; Men’s Bible Study 5 p.m. one of the longest words in the English language. That would require some Sundays; Youth groups at 5:30 p.m. every second and fourth Sunday during the school year. Visit our website: www.gallatinmofcc.org, and also join us on Facebook: Gallatin First effort on the part of the person giving thanks and could hardly be missed by Christian Church the recipient.

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 Obviously, others share my concern with the brevity of the word. We Gallatin First Assembly of God (208 S. Willow St.) — Rev. Wayne Smith, Pastor, have devised numerous ways to lengthen it. For example, we immediately ph: 660.663.3213. SS 9:45 a.m., Celebrations 10:45 a.m.; Wednesdays 6 p.m. add the letter “s” changing thank to thanks. Then, we add other words -Lake Viking Church (East Entrance to Lake) — Rev. Robert Nelson, Pastor; Sunday School 9 a.m., Worship 10 a.m.; Wednesday Bible study and prayer service 7 p.m.; Email: thank you, thanks a lot, thank you very much, many thanks... lakevikingchurch@gmail.com My purpose in this literary frivolity is to call attention to the blessings Mary Immaculate Catholic Church (409 S. Main) — Fr. Tom Hermes; Saturday of sharing gratitude. It's a sacred expectation of humanity. I checked my Mass 4:30 p.m. on holiday weekends only; Sunday Mass 10:30 a.m. (all year) concordance and found that some form of the word thank is 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. used more than 100 times in the Bible. That count does not Presbyterian Church (201 S. Main St.) — Alvin Hillman, Minister; Fellowship 10:30 include references to words whose derivation is grateful. a.m. and Worship 11 a.m.

Obviously, God thinks expressing our gratitude is Seventh-day Adventist Church (1207 S. Clay St.) — Mike Carner, Pastor, ph: 660. important. “Oh, give thanks unto the Lord for He is good.”

772.3306; Saturday Sabbath School 9:15 a.m., Worship 11 a.m.

(Psalm 136:1) Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (211 Ash) — David Marble, Bishop, ph: 660.663.9258. Sunday Sacrament Service 10 a.m.; Wednesday youth A child received a nice gift from an aunt. While activities, 7 p.m. showing the gift to the family, his parents asked, “Did you United Methodist Church (111 S. Market) — Pastor Brad Dush; Sunday School and Worship 11 a.m.; www.galjamesumc.webs.com; Email: gallatin_umc@hotmail.com tell her thanks?” Realizing he had not done so, he said, Bro. Wade Paris ALTAMONT “She knows I am thankful.” Perhaps she did know, but that United Methodist Church — Marilyn Dorst, Minister; Worship 9:30 a.m., SS degrades the transaction. It robs both giver and receiver of the blessing. following on 2nd, 4th and 5th Sundays; Sunday School 9:30 a.m. on 1st and 3rd.

We often do this with God. He blesses us, and later we realize we did WINSTON not thank Him; whereupon we think, “God knows I am thankful.” Are you First Baptist Church — Sunday School 9:30 a.m.; Worship 10:30 a.m.; Sunday & really?

Wednesday services 6:30 p.m.; church ph: 749.5577 An acquaintance of mine was invited to a Christmas party for an Fairview Community Church — Pastor Shadrach Landry; Sunday School 9:4510:45 a.m.; Worship 11 a.m. elderly woman. Members of her family pooled their funds and gave the lady a United Methodist Church — Eugene Keats, Pastor; Sunday Worship 10:45 a.m. gift. She feigned great gratitude. After the family departed, she griped to the Alta Vista Baptist Church (NW of Winston on Hwy. 6) — Rev. Robert Dean, Pastor; guest, “They give me the same thing every year.” Then, she gave the gift Sunday School 9:30 a.m.; Worship service 10:30 a.m. away.

JAMESPORT The question is, “Are we truly thankful?” We are blessed. Are we United Methodist Church (109 E. Main) — Pastor Brad Dush; Worship 9:30, grateful? The best way to say thanks is to live a thankful life. And remember, Sunday School 10:35 a.m., nursery provided. Website: www.galjamesumc.webs.com Baptist Church (708 W. Auberry Grv) — Rev. Jim Whitley, pastor. Sunday School 9:45 you really can't do that in just one day. Like the word thank, one day a.m.; Worship 10:45 a.m. and 7 p.m.; Wednesday Bible study and prayer meeting of Thanksgiving is too brief.

Active Aging joins Meals on Wheels and Subaru for Sharing the Love The Active Aging Resource Center (Daviess County MultiPurpose Senior Center, Inc.) is proud to announce that it will be participating in the 2019 Subaru Share the Love Event as a member of Meals on Wheels America – one of four national Share the Love charitable partners supported through the campaign.

From Nov. 14 through Jan. 2, 2020, Subaru of America will donate $250 for every new Subaru vehicle purchased or leased to the customer’s choice of participating charities.

“This is a great opportunity for Daviess County, Missouri to be a part of this national movement,” said Deanna Lewis, Gallatin Administrator. “Subaru of America has been a great supporter of Meals on Wheels in Daviess County. We can count the number of meals Subaru of America’s support has delivered but we cannot count the impact on the health and nutrition of our older adults.”

Participating Meals on Wheels America members, like the Active Aging Resource Center, will receive a share of the donation raised by Subaru in their state. The Active Aging Resource Center will participate in local events to raise awareness for the popular year-end sales and giving event, and drive support for Meals on Wheels through Christmas Around the Square on Nov. 23 and Christmas dinner which is scheduled to take place Dec. 20.

“Meals on Wheels America is proud to partner with Subaru of America for the 12th consecutive year to enable more seniors to live with independence and dignity,” said Ellie Hollander, President and CEO, Meals on Wheels America. “Since 2008, the Subaru Share the Love Event has helped deliver more than 2.2 million meals and friendly visits to vulnerable seniors nationwide. We’re enormously grateful to Subaru and its retailers for their long-standing commitment to Meals on Wheels and the millions of seniors who depend on it

for nourishment and companionship.”

Over the last 11 years, Subaru of America and its participating retailers have donated more than $145 million to its charity partners. This year’s Subaru Share the Love Event is on track to bring that total to over $170 million, proving there’s no limit to the amount of love we can all share.

By purchasing or leasing a new Subaru during the Subaru Share the Love Event and selecting Meals on Wheels as your charity of choice, you can help deliver nutritious meals and other important services to seniors right here in Daviess County.

Developments in Braymer murder case The Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office posted a press release to their Facebook page that reads, “On November 15, 2019, at 11:45 a.m., Deputies responded to a ranch south of Hershey, NE. The rancher reported he found human remains in a stock trailer he recently purchased in Missouri.

Deputies arrived and found a large plastic animal supplement tub full of dirt. The rancher advised he found the tub in the large stock trailer he just purchased. The rancher took the tub out of the trailer to spread the dirt in his driveway. Upon doing so he saw what he believed was human remains and other items in the tub.

Upon examination, Deputies confirmed the remains were definitely human and noticed personal items in the tub. Deputies were able to ascertain the remains possibly belonged to one of two brothers from Wisconsin,

who were alleged victims of a homicide in northwestern Missouri.

Deputies contacted Law Enforcement from the Caldwell County Sheriff’s Office in Missouri, the lead agency in the homicide investigation. Investigators with the Caldwell County Sheriff’s Office confirmed the remains could belong to the homicide victims. Caldwell County Investigators and Missouri State Police flew into Lincoln County later in the evening and picked up the remains. The investigation is ongoing.”

Garland Joseph Nelson, 25, was charged in October with two counts of murder in the deaths of Nicholas and Justin Diemel, Wisconsin brothers who were owners of a livestock company.

The brothers had been in Missouri for a cattle deal and were reported missing in July after they missed a flight.

Could a playoff rematch between Bearcats, UCM occur?

Bolles brothers the focus during MIAA Co-Championship in season finale showdown

Northwest made a statement last Saturday, strangling UCM’s national leading offense for a 45-23 victory.

The win made co-champions of the MIAA rivals. But the story focuses squarely on three brothers named Bolles, all quarterbacks of these two MIAA teams.

The Bolles brothers – Blake, Brady and Brook – were standout athletes at North Star High School in Lincoln, NE. All three continued athletic success on the NCAA Division II level.

Blake Bolles led Northwest Missouri State to a national championship in 2009; Brady Bolles did likewise for the Bearcats in 2015. Now the youngest of the trio, Brook, has a chance to match his brothers playing for the UCM Mules.

Statistically, the eldest brother stacked up the highest numbers — so far. All three brothers eclipsed 7,000 passing yards. Blake finished his career with 8,668 passing yards. Brady passed for 7,728 yards, but the youngest, Brook, eclipsed his mark with 364 passing yards against Northwest.

Brook now has 7,734 yards with the playoffs looming ahead.

Brook Boles hardly ever missed a football game at Northwest for a total of 10 years while his older brothers played for the Bearcats. Some probably just assumed Brook would wear Bearcat green to continue the family

tradition. But only a walk-on spot was available when Brook visited Northwest.

The Mules recruited Brady but lost the recruiting war to Northwest.

Brady led the Bearcats to win the 2015 national championship. But, oddly enough, it was a Northwest grad who approached Brook to become a Central Missouri State Mule. Josh Lamberson, who saw Brooke at one of his basketball games, paved the way.

Brook played sparingly during his first two years at UCM. But in his first year as a starter, he burst onto the scene to eventually become a Harlan Hill finalist — the DII equivalent of the Heisman Trophy. As a junior, Brook threw for 3,766 yards and 23 touchdowns leading the Mules to a 9-3 record.

Expectations were naturally high for last Saturday’s showdown. UCM was undefeated and ranked #9 nationally. The Mules had a chance for their first outright MIAA championship since 1986. All they had to do was travel to Maryville and defeat the 9-1 Bearcats, ranked #12 nationally.

Brook was the centerpiece of most pre-game hype. In addition to the comparisons to his brothers, Brook was a seasoned 6-year veteran in his own right. The 2018 season was cut short with a torn ulnar collateral ligament — and the season for the Mules tailspun into the first losing season under Mules Head Coach Svoboda.

Thus, a storybook ending seemed within grasp for Brook during his senior year. A victory not only would clinch an undefeated MIAA championship but, quite likely, knock kingpin Northwest Missouri State from playoff contention.

The Mules never solved Northwest’s defense during the 45-23 loss.

Brook Bolles was sacked eight times and Northwest forced UCM into six turnovers. The Bearcat victory marks the 30th MIAA football championship for the university at Maryville.

Long odds, but there’s a chance

There is a chance for a rematch between co-MIAA champions UCM and Northwest. If both teams win

Northwest Bearcats host Harding Bison and hope gridiron history repeats itself upset loss to Nebraska-Kearney. The Bearcats secured the program’s 24th NCAA Division II playoff bid with a berth into the 2019 field. It is the 16th straight season that Northwest will compete in the playoffs for a shot at the Division II national championship. Northwest ranks No. 1 all-time in Division II in playoff appearances with 24.

Northwest and Harding have met on two previous occasions and both occurred in the DII playoffs with Northwest winning both games.

The Northwest Missouri State Bearcats romped through DII football from Harding University is the 2015 well into the 2017 season, largest private Christian university in that state (7,155 when they reeled off backenrollment), located in north- to-back 15-0 seasons. The east Arkansas at Searcy.

The Bearcats seem to be peaking at the right time.

Northwest’s regular season finale victory marks another double-digit win season — their 14th in the last 15 years.

The six-time NCAA Division II champions will face Harding 1 p.m. Saturday in the first round of the playoffs.

the Bearcats defeated Grand Valley in the semifinals of the DII football tournament.

Simply put, the Bearcats are the DII football powerhouse. A perennial threat to both the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association and the national title, their coaches, teams, and trophies are the stuff legends are made of.

The Bearcats history really begins when legendary DII coach Mel Tjeersdma led Northwest Missouri State to back-to-back titles in 1998 and 1999. The 1998 squad was the first DII football program to go 15-0 in a season, but they would do it again, most memorably in back-to-back seasons between 2015 and 2016.

Ten years later, Tjeersdma became just the second DII football coach to tally three titles, the most all-time (fellow Bearcats head coach

their first two playoff games, Northwest would face UCM on Saturday, Dec. 7, in the DII quarterfinals.

Central Missouri State has the harder path to a rematch. The Mules host the University of Indianapolis Greyhounds this Saturday. UIndy is 9-1, losing only to Lindenwood while defeating teams like SW Baptist, William Jewell, Missouri S&T, and Truman State.

A Mule victory over UIndy pushes UCM to face top regional seed Ferris State (Arkansas) on Nov. 30. As the top seed, Ferris State earns a first round bye. Ferris State made a run to the championship game with many of the same pieces last year and can do it again. The Bulldogs are led by stellar QB Jayru Campbell, fully rested after being held out in Week 10 and a bye in Week 11.

Northwest holds a #3 seed behind two undefeated teams in Super Region III. The Bearcats will host Harding (Arkansas) Bison (10-1).

Harding’s lone loss was a 16-14 decision against Ouachita Baptist in the first game of the season, which made them finish 2nd in the Great American Conference. This will be Harding’s fourth straight trip to DII playoffs. The winner of the HardingNorthwest game takes on the Ouachita Baptist-Lindenwood winner ...with Ferris State looming ahead.

Super Region III Top Seeded Teams: ●●#1 Ferris State (Michigan) Bulldogs (10-0) – 6th consecutive playoff berth (national runner-up champion in 2018, losing to Voldasta State), Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) ●●#2 Ouachita Baptist (Arkansas) Tigers (11-0) — Great American Conference.

Adam Dorrell would shortly join him as the third). In between the 1999 and 2009 championships, Northwest Missouri State was still in the hunt, losing four straight

national championship games between 2005-08.

All said, the Bearcats have appeared in 50% of the national championship games during the past two decades.
