Gardens at Hedrick Medical offer a growing variety of use In late May of 2018, the Hedrick Medical Center Foundation officially opened The Gardens at Hedrick Medical Center. Use of the area grows with each passing week. “Now that people can actually see it, they’re figuring out how they can use it,” said Lindy Chapman, Hedrick Medical Center Foundation Development Officer. “Whether it’s personally for walking, hosting a meeting in the pavilion, or visiting someone in the hospital, we’re seeing The

Gardens being used in a variety of ways.” The Gardens is home to various themed areas and structures for patients, visitors, community members, and employees to utilize and enjoy. Some of those areas include the Rain Garden, which features a wooden overlook, surrounded by plants that thrive in a wet environment, and the Outdoor Therapy Garden, which includes five circles that provide staging areas for trees and therapy (continued on page 3 )

New water plant fully softening water now, line repairs completed Gallatin Public Works Director Mark Morey reports that city water crews repaired a four-foot PVC section in the main water line at East Mill and Searcy. The water plant has been running on Well 4 since the radios had to be repaired on Well 2. The new water plant is fully softening the water now. The hardness has been reduced from 24 grains per gallon with the old plant to 10 grains per gallon with the new plant. Ross Construction and West Tech are working together to decide a plan of action on the blow downs at the new water plant. On Nov. 27 the Gallatin Board of Alder-

Payment of county taxes is due by Dec. 31. Taxpayers failing to submit payment to the collector’s office at the courthouse either in person or by mail postmarked Dec. 31 or earlier will face penalties beginning Jan. 1, 2019. Letters of notification were mailed to Daviess County taxpayers during November. Explanations to help taxpayers understand statements and how real estate and personal property are taxed were cited in these letters of notification, to help taxpayers avoid confusion and late penalties. Any questions or errors must be brought to the attention of the assessor’s office at 660.663.3300 before any payment is made. The collector has no authority to make any changes without the assessor’s intervention. Tax revenue is disbursed to various entities in the county to finance local services at approved rates called levies. A levy is applied for each $100 of assessed valuation. Tax levies can change by election vote or levy adjustments may legally occur for a variety of authorized reasons. Usually taxpayers are aware of the tax levies applied to the property they own to determine taxes owed but may or may not know what tax levies exist elsewhere in Daviess County. The table (at right) lists tax levies applied throughout the county for 2017-18. This table of Daviess County levies was prepared by the Daviess County Assessor’s Office. To summarize, there are 61 taxing entities in Daviess County. By comparing the tax levy for 2017 to that for 2018, there were 38 levies that increased (most only slightly), 19 levies that were unchanged, and 4 levies that decreased. It may also be interesting to note the following totals:

2017...........................$135,304,263 2018...........................$137,886,393

OPINION

Dec. 12, 2018

A very bright idea

Wow! Don’t those two large evergreen trees with all the Christmas lights look great as you approach the business square coming up the hill from the Highway 6/13 junction? We’ve got alderman John Whitfield to thank. John actually owns one of the homes (311 N. Main), which is why he insisted on paying for the lights on that tree. Obviously, the homeowner across the street, Jason BeneSpikedict at 310 N. Main, was also on board. Each property owner signed a liability release and permission agreement for this bright idea to happen and ...ta-dah! Kudos also go to utility workers Chris Plant and Eric Kloepping, earning recognition as our local Christmas light experts. The city installed separate electric drop boxes for the holiday tree light display — which is a great example of a community project that everyone I know applauds and really enjoys. What better entrance for the outstanding Christmas light display on the courthouse yard? Although there have been many good Christmas displays in times past, light displays on the square offer the best stage to showcase what Gallatin can offer. This takes work. Every holiday season I am reminded how frustrating it is to get just one string of light bulbs all glowing at the same time.

33 youngsters benefit from ‘Officers for Kids & Christmas’ You might expect stores to be full of busy shoppers particularly at this time of year but on Dec. 8 the Wal-Mart Supercenter in Cameron was full of law enforcement officers. Sixteen children from Daviess County and 17 children from DeKalb County participated in the “Officers for Kids & Christmas,” thanks to the gener-

ous support from area businesses. These kids went shopping for family and for themselves with staff from from the Daviess County Sheriff ’s Office, Dekalb County Sheriff ’s Office, Daviess/ DeKalb Regional Jail, Missouri Highway Patrol – Troop H Officers, Driver Examination Officers, Communications Officers

and Motor Vehicle Enforcement Officers and the Cameron Police Department. While CameronWal-Mart hosted the event and supplied juice and cookies for the kids and officers, the 1st Cameron State Bank provided use of the bank’s community room for snacks during the day.

Gardens at Hedrick Medical Center (continued from page 1) equipment to expand the services for hospital patients. The Gazebo serves as the focal point at the end of the Main Lawn area and is surrounded by the Fragrance and Winter Gardens. Other areas include the Main Patio and Pavilion, the Blue Garden, the Miniatures & Topiary Garden, the Learning Garden, the Legacy Garden, the Water Garden and Fountains, the Prairie, Savanah, and Orchard, the Meadow Stone Wall, and various benches for resting. “We’re a rural community that values the outdoors, but that is no different from people anywhere who like to get out and just experience a breath of fresh air, or need time away from the intensity to reflect, rejuvenate, and refuel. This gives them a space to do that,” said Betty Steele, HMC Foundation Board President. “This is one of the best things you can do to help healing from the emotional, whole-person perspective. We’re able to address the emotional needs of our patients and give them a perspective of wellness that they might not have had.” Fund-raising efforts are continuing for the $1.39 million Gardens project. The Hedrick Medical Center Foundation is requesting assistance from individuals, businesses, organizations, and foundations who could benefit from 50% tax credits from the Missouri Development Finance Board (MDFB). These tax credits were issued in support of The Gardens at Hedrick Medical Center project – and are only available for purchase through the end of 2018. “These tax credits are an im-

portant part of the funding for our project, and we are hopeful to have them all sold,” according to Lindy Chapman, Foundation Development Officer of the HMC Foundation. “These can provide a tremendous tax advantage for those who pay taxes in our state. Some of the tax credits have been sold already, but we have some remaining and are spreading the word about their availability.” The MDFB tax credits are a 50% match in tax credits toward Missouri Tax liabilities. These credits can be sold or transferred and are able to be used over a three-year period by an individual or a business. Stock gifts also qualify for tax credits. Sponsorship opportunities throughout The Gardens are also available and will be for years to come – engraved steel tiles start at $100 and are a perfect way to honor or remember a friend or family member. Garden and tree sponsorships are also available. “These naming and sponsorship efforts will be an on-going way to remember someone close to you,” states Chapman. Preston Steele explains that The Gardens at HMC is a 3-acre area on the grounds of the hospital. “This is a community space – available for any and all to use. It is becoming a destination for patients, visitors, community members, and staff. There are spaces for gatherings and meetings, walking paths for exercise, tables and chairs for sharing coffee or a meal, and areas for quiet reflection.” The Gardens is also expected to be a popular tourism destination for those visiting Chillicothe

Taking a look ‘Back in the Day...’ ● Dec. 12, 1919 – The Iron County Register reported that people who kept goldfish in bowls would have to pay higher home insurance rates. A study in St. Louis proved that the fish bowls acted as lenses for sunlight and could easily start fires in homes. ● Dec. 13, 1921 – The Post Office told rural residents that all mailboxes must be placed “on the right-hand side of the roads.” There was no explanation about just which side would that be. ● Dec. 14, 2011 – On this day the announcement was made that, with more than 50 schools and well over 24,000 students, the Springfield School District was now the largest in the state. ● Dec. 15, 1951 – The mayor of St. Louis made plans to appoint 5,000 auxiliary police officers to help after a nuclear attack. Their jobs would be to patrol devastated areas. Would you volunteer to patrol areas devastated by thermo-nuclear explosions? ● Dec. 16, 1811 – The first shocks occurred in the largest earthquake ever to shake North America. It was centered on the New Madrid Fault in Missouri. ● Dec. 17, 1931 – The C.C. McCallon clothing store in West Plains was robbed by Ma Barker’s gang. It was noted that they took over $2000 worth of clothing and only the latest fashions. ● Dec. 18, 1877 – Long distance telephone service began in Missouri. The first line ran between Jackson and Cape Girardeau. St. Louis-Hannibal and Columbia-Rocheport were connected within months.

North Daviess students enchanted by county library, especially the castle December Drop Everything and Read (DEAR) program brought the students of North Daviess to the Daviess County Library at Gallatin on Friday, Dec. 7, for a field trip. They were greeted by several retired teachers from Gallatin. The teachers took groups of students for tours and tutorials of the different sections of the library. Students were able to explore literacy boxes, computer programs, books and even the history section of the library. The reading castle was a popular place to find many of the students, exploring the vast amount of books offered through the county library. A number of students com-

mented this was a first for them to visit the county library. The Drop Every Thing and Read program has been a monthly program this year at North Daviess, to encourage extra reading time. Students in preschool through sixth grade along with their teachers, para-professionals and the principal attended the day at the library. The students also stopped at Caseys in Gallatin to Christmas carol and were given cookies by Brenda Taylor, manager at the Gallatin Caseys. With the success of the trip, plans are already underway for a Spring 2019 trip back to the library to gear students up to the 2019 Summer Reading Program.

playing arcade games, laser tag, bowling, the gravity ropes obstacle course, ziplining, and pizza. It was a great way to motivate students to sell to help fund the events put on throughout the year. RayAnn Armstrong is the North Daviess Agricultural Education Teacher and FFA Advisor.

T ips f or your f amily yard Pick up Debris: Before it snows, remove debris and household items from your family yard. Doormats, hoses, toys and sticks can hide under a layer of snow that could harm your snow thrower, family or pets. Clear a Path: Your snow thrower is a convenient way to clear your driveway and sidewalks. Trim Trees Carefully: When using a chainsaw, stand with your weight on both feet, adjust your stance so you are angled away from the blade and hold the chainsaw with both hands.

Police Chief Mark Richards submitted a report on activity for Dec. 10: one suspicious person, circumstance; one assault; one peace disturbance; one domestic disturbance; two runaway juveniles; two juvenile problems; one traffic accident with damage; one fraud. There are two dogs in the pound. Both are available for adoption. They are very well behaved adult male dogs looking to spend Christmas Day in a loving new home. If you know of anyone wanting a new best friend, contact the Gallatin Police Department. Mark Morey, Eric Kloepping and Mike Bradley passed their final electrical lineman test last week and became certified journeymen power linemen.

North Daviess grad Melanie Nolting recognized as ‘leader on the rise’ by Missouri Organization of Nurse Leaders

Betty ly ell has ﬁnished her new boo rea ing of isso ri. his historical ﬁction is based on the co rtship of her great grandparents. er great grandfather was an rish ail an who et his love while delivering ail in a o ntain setting. hey drea ed of oving bac to isso ri to a life of their own.

Dreaming of Missouri, new book by Betty Plymell, tells of young love Betty Mooney Plymell has finished her novel, Dreaming of Missouri. The historical fiction takes place in the Cumberland Mountains of Tennessee in 1841. Reuben W.P. Mooney, a 19-year-old mountain man, is delivering mail on horseback. He is Irish, buckskin clad, and as handsome as they come. Reuben and Nancy — the pretty 15-year-old daughter of a wealthy plantation owner on his mail route — are in love. Unfortunately, they are on different rungs of the social ladder. If her father, Sheriff William Johnson, learns of their love they know without a doubt they will never get to see or talk to each other again. Can they keep their secret? Will young love, desperation, and undaunted courage make their dreams come true? You will have to read the novel to find out. Contact Betty Plymell at 660-367-4484 or deercountry1960@gmail.com for information on how to obtain the book. Betty and her husband Keith, plus one of their four grown children, live on their farm northwest of Pattonsburg.

“Even as a child I was always happy to be outside enjoying the beauty of nature,” writes Mrs. Plymell in the ‘About the Author’ section of the novel. “By the time I was four my mother worked at a job in town, so I spent my young days playing at the edge of fields while my dad worked behind his huge draft horses. I often rode the gentlest work horse, Ole Barney, back and forth across the fields.” Mrs. Plymell says her father sang old songs and told stories of the past. He instilled in her an interest in history and bygone times. Her early memories include her desire to draw. Her book has 367 pages with 47 pen and ink drawings by the author. As a youngster Mrs. Plymell observed butchering and rendering and many other old-time skills that are being quickly forgotten. Her mother taught her domestic skills like raising chickens, sewing, and filling the cellar with garden produce. Mrs. Plymell draws upon her memories to tell her stories of earlier times.

Melanie Nolting was recently recognized by the Missouri Organization of Nurse Leaders (MONL). She currently serves as Director of Clinical Operations at North Kansas City Hospital. When nominated for the award she was acting as interim director for ICU. Melanie graduated from North Daviess R-3 High School, Missouri Western, and Graceland School of Nursing. She is the daughter of Steve and Elaine Bohannon, Jameson, and Tracy VanBelkum, St. Joseph. Melanie and her husband Scott live in Kansas City with their two daughters. Melanie’s first nursing job started February 2009 working as an R.N. on 8HSP Medical/Surgical unit at North Kansas City Hospital and she’s been at the hospital ever since. She said most people don’t know that she is a cancer survivor. She had thyroid cancer at the age of 16 which included two surgeries and radiation. That was probably her first glimpse into the medical field. Melanie’s best advice to aspiring leaders is to never be afraid to take a chance; every leader had a “first day.” Foster relationships and learn all you can from leaders who you see as great. “Sometimes it’s still challeng-

ing having those crucial conversations,” says Melanie, when asked to describe her biggest challenge as a nurse leader. “No one enjoys confrontation, but learning from each encounter helps those future conversations go even smoother.” “Melanie is a leader on the rise,” said Michelle Lane, a MONL board member. “She splits her time as a bedside neuro/trauma ICU nurse and the director of Clinical Operations for the hospital. She was selected to serve as the interim director of the neuro/trauma ICU and STAT team while the current leader is on leave of absence. She has not just gotten on base; the girl has hit a home run and we couldn’t be more proud of her autonomy, initiative, communication skills, clinical knowledge and ability to

coach others. Amazing leader!” The Missouri Organization of Nurse Leaders was established in 1979 to provide its members with educational and networking opportunities designed to encourage the advancement of effective leadership in nursing. Membership is open to all registered nurses in Missouri who are in leadership positions.

GHS girls win, boys lose in GRC openers Grand River Conference play opened Tuesday night in the GHS gym with a split of games with the Putnam County Midgets. A dominating performance by senior Kelsey Maxwell helped power the Lady Bulldogs to a 55-28 victory over the Lady Midgets. Maxwell scored 21 points on 9-of-15 shooting in the paint, and pulled down 16 rebounds for Gallatin. Senior Karley Salmon scorched the Lady Midgets for 15 points and dished out 4 assists. The Midget boys surged in the second quarter with an 18-7 run that proved to be the difference in their 53-48 victory. Putnam County led by 11 at the half but Gallatin closed the gap with a 14-8 scoring advantage in the third quarter. The Midgets hit 5-of-9 free throws down the stretch to preserve the win. Tristen Gibson and Landon Corwin each scored 16 points to lead the Bulldogs. Gibson hit four shots from the three-point arc and Corwin added a pair of long range buckets. S plit with N .

The Lady Bulldogs led, 17-10, after the first quarter but the Cardinal girls rallied several times to take a small lead, the last coming with 33 seconds remaining in the third quarter. A pair of baskets and free throw from Kelsey Maxwell put Gallatin up to stay. Cl aire H emry Caragan Baker h and c h ec k b added a bucket and free throw to give the Lady Bulldogs a 36-29 cushion early in the fourth period. Addison Burns upped the ante with a field goal but North Andrew would twice close the gap to two possessions down the stretch.

Benedictine, Jacob Boyd reach NAIA National Championship Saturday Jacob Boyd has a special request to Santa on this year’s Christmas wish list. A ring….but not just any ring. The 2015 Gallatin R-5 grad, along with his football teammates at Benedictine College in Atchison, KS, is in the hunt for a national championship ring this weekend when the Ravens take on Morningside (Sioux City, IA) College in the 63rd Annual NAIA National Championship. The game is slated for Saturday at 5 p.m. (CT) in Daytona, FL, and will be televised on ESPN3. Benedictine, 13-1 and ranked #7 nationally, enters the game on an 11-game winning streak, with its only loss coming by a touchdown to Evangel on Sept. 8. Top-ranked Morningside, 14-0, defeated two-time defending NAIA champion St. Francis (IN) in overtime to earn a berth in Saturday’s title game. For the first time in school history, Raven Football is headed to the NAIA National Championship. Both Jacob and the BC Student Body are excited about the upcoming opportunity to showcase the school at the national level. “Everyone on campus is very excited,” Jacob says. “Everyone from teachers, administrators, to the students is looking forward to the game,” he added. “We have had great support all year long, which has been awesome. The campus is electric right now.” Jacob expects to be in the thick of the action on defense

This week we will lay to rest a true statesman, George Herbert Walker Bush. I am sad. Today, we have a plethora of politicians but statesmen seem few and far between. In his acceptance speech after his nomination, President Bush said he would like to see a “kinder and gentler nation.” I was thrilled when I heard those words. The public saw things differently. The statement was widely ridiculed, “kinder? gentler?” Oh, come now, this is America; this is politics. The Lord only knows that presidential wish, a kinder gentler nation, is yet to be accomplished. We have just passed through one of the most bitter political periods of my lifetime. And it continues. Individuals running for office do so at the expense of their competitors rather than on their own merits. It is common to hear politicians boast of getting even and failing the country just to thwart the other side. A rector from St. Martins Episcopal Church, where President Bush was a member, reported, “He was not just a member on the roll; he was actively involved in the Kingdom work of our church.” I'm in agreement with the late President; I, too, would love to see a kinder, gentler nation. However, it seems we are headed in the opposite direction. The Apostle Paul wrote, “Be ye kind to one another, tender hearted, forgiving one another... ” (Ephesians 4: 32). Is that too much to expect? It is easy to be critical of those who lead us. What is difficult is to affect a solution to our difficulties. With that thought in mind, I offer the following: An old native American proverb wisely advises, “Never judge another brother until you have walked in his moccasins for three moons.” Can you ever remember a time when you knew you were right and argued effectively for your point only to later learn you were wrong? When you learned you were wrong, did you change course, or did you continue to support an incorrect opinion/cause? One of the early church fathers cautioned his colleagues about getting too far out on a limb. He warned when you do and later discover you are wrong, it is very painful and difficult to change course. Be ye kind. Surely, that is not too much to ask. Remember those words the next time you go shopping or when the car beside you cuts you off. Be kind; it's Christmas!

In the recent November election, Chillicothe attorney Ryan Horsman was elected to the 43rd Circuit (Caldwell, Clinton, Daviess, DeKalb, and Livingston counties) Division I position formerly held by Judge Tom Chapman. Mr. Horsman was slated to assume that position effective Jan. 1, 2019. However, Judge Chapman’s appointment to the Western District Court of Appeals (effective Sept. 4) left us with a critical vacancy for the balance of 2018. Fortunately, Gov. Mike Parsons filled that vacancy by appointing Judge-elect Horsman to the position. Judge Horsman was sworn in as the Division I Circuit Judge on Nov. 29 and has already assumed his caseload. Our circuit will have one other new judge effective Jan. 1, 2019. Chillicothe attorney Michael Leamer was elected to fill the Livingston County Associate Circuit Judge vacancy created by the retirement of Judge James P. Valbracht. Judge Valbracht served the citizens of the 43rd Circuit well. He kept up with Livingston County’s large caseload and was also assigned to handle other important cases throughout the circuit. We wish him well in his retirement and offer a special prayer for his wife, Nancy (just kidding). There are two other notable retirements that will affect the 43rd Circuit in the coming year. Longtime Circuit Clerks Molly Livingston of Clinton County and Brenda Wright of Livingston County did not seek re-election and will retire at the end of this year. Molly served the citizens of Clinton County for over 34 years

(16 as the circuit clerk) and Brenda is completing her 20th year as the circuit clerk. Jane Gann of Chillicothe is the Livingston County Circuit Clerkelect and Ellis Dockray, Cameron, was elected to fill the Clinton County position. I look forward to working with each of these individuals to ensure the efficient operation of our circuit’s judicial functions. Personally, this year has marked the loss of many close friends and relatives. But as 2018 comes to a close, I want to pay homage to the recent passing of an unrelated individual to whom I was only casually acquainted: Kelly Poling of Chillicothe. As you travel in the 43rd Circuit and surrounding area, you will observe an inordinate number of high quality murals. These works of art often transform a rather unsightly structure into a thing of beauty. Kelly Poling created over 60 murals in his relatively short lifetime. Although some are as far away as Las Vegas, NV, most are within the confines of our five-county circuit. I love his work and believe he frequently captured the heritage and history of our communities. He has literally left his mark for all to enjoy and take pride. It is also ironic. Painting was probably not Kelly’s first love. He was drafted out of high school by the Kansas City Royals as a pitcher. Unfortunately, or rather fortunately for us, a shoulder injury forced him to pursue his alternate passion — art. Editor’s note: This column continues a series of articles intended to provide the public with a better understanding of the judicial system.

Climate and herbicide sessions seeds of Great Plains Growers Conference By T im Baker, E x tension S pec ialist in H ortic ulture As mentioned in my last column, we will be having two special tracks about climate and herbicide drift at the Great Plains Growers Conference in St. Joseph.

Wood Marshall moving forward

G etting p ast C omp l ex R egional P ain S yn dr ome ( C R P S ) by T.L. Huffman

Wood Marshall, the youth pastor at the First Baptist Church in Gallatin, was born with a deformed left foot. He has had three foot surgeries to try to fix the problem. None of the surgeries helped. One of the surgeries, a triple fusion in 2015, might have done more harm than good. It got to the point that just taking a step caused Wood horrible pain and he had to do something. Early last year he traveled to the Mayo Clinic at Rochester, MN, after he heard it was ranked one of the top hospitals nationwide. The doctors at Mayo told him they’d never seen anything like his foot. He had no arch, no cartilage, and the bones were rubbing — causing the excruciating pain when he walked. Wood faced three options: 1) do nothing until the day he would take a step and his foot would just not work; 2) have a massive fusion of his foot, which meant pulling out all the bones, scraping them, and putting them back in, or 3) amputate his foot and get a prosthesis. “I guess I felt like an amputation was coming, but I was still devastated when I got that news,” Wood says. Through the spring and summer of 2017 Wood and his wife, Ashley, did their research. They read stories online written by soldiers who’d lost limbs in

and not letting my left leg slow me down or hold me back anymore.” Prior to the surgery, Wood went to the YMCA to work out and build strength in his arm and leg muscles. He relieved his anxiety with jokes … I was thinking about getting a tattoo — a dotted line that said “Cut here…” and When I buy socks I will get twice as many... and At least I won’t have to worry about matching socks. But he was scared. And struggling. “I would be lying if I said I wasn’t scared on some days,” he says. “There were days I was terrified. Ashley was scared, too. It was not an easy road. Sleep didn’t come easily and I’d wake up tired.” The date of his amputation surgery at Mayo was set for Jan. 9, 2017. As the deadline approached, Wood faced the most difficult time of the whole experience. “It was like being on a high dive and just standing there,” he says. “I had to make up my mind: Go back down or make the jump. That was the hardest part. Making that jump.” The surgery took two hours and was without complications. He was already mentally prepared for the moment he woke up and looked down to see he had no leg. He describes the hospital experience as “not too bad.” He had a normal

A shley and W ood M arshall

combat and everyday people who’d lost limbs in car wrecks and other accidents. They visited Mayo’s amputation department. They took a trip to Hanger Clinic: Prosthetics & Orthotics, located in Trenton. One particular conversation that summer helped him decide. “I had a guy tell me he wished he had his amputation sooner,” Wood says. “That was the opinion of a lot of people I’d been reading about. It seems that people who kept their mangled limbs only made the pain go on longer.” Ashley was great support, but told him he had to make the decision himself. He’d had his foot for 27 years and it had given him nothing but problems. “I decided it was time to break up with it,” Wood says. “I was moving on

amount of pain and the phantom pain was also something he expected. By Jan. 12, he and Ashley were headed home. The phantom pain continued for the next week or so. He didn’t sleep well and he was going stir crazy from not being able to move around. There were post-surgery appointments back at Mayo, a fitting for a soft cast, and later for a prosthetic. He had the added stress of an ongoing fight with his insurance company which was hedging on paying his medical bills. By mid-February he was seeing his local doctor and getting a prosthetic at Hangers in Trenton. He took his leg home on March 15. He was already doing well enough and progressing fast enough to handle stairs. He was able to wear his leg around the house for a few

and now

on w ith l if e

hours each day. But during April things took a turn for the worse. He was experiencing a lot of pain in his stump. More padding was added to his leg. Other things were tried. He was advised to slow down on his therapy. Wood had mixed feelings about doing that, but decided it was all about finding a balance between moving forward and not pushing it. Then the therapist told him to quit using his leg completely. He was not walking on it correctly and was putting too much pressure on his good leg. “They took my leg away from me so I wouldn’t be tempted to wear it,” he says. His doctors and therapists scheduled X-rays and MRIs to try to figure out what was going on. He found out he wasn’t going to be able to use his leg again until May. He felt broken down and worn out. “That was the worst moment,” Wood says. “I was doing really well, and I was suddenly hit with this. I had my leg and I lost it. It was depressing. I was doing really good walking and the pain came and took over. The doctor wouldn’t give me my leg back because they didn’t want me wearing it.” The doctors believed Wood was suffering from Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS). “It was a massive complication,” he says. “This pain is ranked highest on the pain charts, even higher than childbirth. And there is no cure.” CRPS is believed to be caused by damage to the peripheral and central nervous systems. It involves all the nerves sending signals from the brain and spinal cord to the rest of the body. In more than 90% of cases, the condition is triggered by a clear history of trauma or injury. “Because of all the problems I’d had before, my nerves were used to being in constant pain and were still sending pain signals where my foot was supposed to be. I now had to train my brain and nerves to accept that there was no reason to send pain signals anymore. CRPS is a very ugly disease, a very bad thing.” It was a very bad time. The pain was making him incoherent and the pain medicine left him “doped up.” He was unable to rest and exhausted. Ashley was scared for his sanity and his life. But then Wood made a decision. “I decided that even if I had to live the rest of my life in a wheelchair, I could still do things,” Wood says. “I could still do my ministry. God had not abandoned me. And once I got that right mind set, got my eyes focused back on Christ, things started to turn around.” June brought another dramatic turning point for Wood. Through a combination of different medications, therapy, natural oils, and prayer, he started

feeling better. He was even wearing his prosthesis some again. The terrible pain was under control on most days. He started going to desensitizing therapy in July. In August, he got a new, remade leg. This leg had a new socket and didn’t put as much pressure where the CRPS pain was. He was able to walk without the walker. Wood has never walked right in his life, so he has to retrain his mind and body along with his stump and prosthesis on how to walk properly. He naturally wants to kick his hip out and step with a limp because that feels normal for him. “I’m learning to walk again,” Wood says. His prosthetic leg is called a Renegade T3. It is the second highest activity level. T4 is for athletes, and maybe one day Wood will get one of those. The T3 foot has a spring in the heel to help absorb the shock of each step. “Normal feet take a lot of abuse when they strike the ground every time,” says Wood. “This foot can take the abuse a normal foot would take. It’s a really good foot.” Wood credits Jesus first for getting him through all that he’s been through, and Ashley second. “I don’t think people realize how hard it is on the spouse,” he says. “They’ve got to take care of the person who is now physically handicapped. After I had the surgery, I had to be woke up every two hours for meds and she had to go through that. She has to take the wheelchair or the walker out of the car. “For a while she was taking me three times a week for therapy. And she has to continue her work at the Christian Lighthouse Day Care Center and keep up the house. “The CRPS was hard on her,” Wood says. “I know she wondered if I’d ever come out of it. Our friends and family and the church have supported us so much.” Along with being youth pastor at the Gallatin First Baptist Church, Wood is back to substitute teaching at schools at Gallatin and Jamesport. “I’m doing a lot better now,” he says. “I’m staying positive. God’s got a plan — keep moving forward.”
