Attention Citizens of Gallatin! – Plans for Street Repair Lance Rains, City Administrator, has created a plan to obtain the funds needed to repair the streets of Gallatin. However, he needs help from Gallatin citizens. According to Rains, the most pressing concern he hears from the people of Gallatin is the condition of the streets. In passing years, it has been difﬁcult for the City of Gallatin to meet these needs. Repairs are sometimes delayed or the funding doesn’t cover the cost for all the roads needing repaired in that ﬁscal year. “Our roads are deteriorating at a much more rapid rate than we have the money to repair them,” Rains states in his Letter to the Editor on page 2. To obtain grant funding, the City of Gallatin proposes that residents participate in a random Low to Moderate Income survey (LMI). The LMI for the city of Gallatin must be at 51 percent or higher with an 80 percent return rate or higher to be eligible for funds. These funds could potentially help the city of Gallatin with projects other than

Community immunity: ﬁrst round of vaccinations given

The test result officially was finally determined to be negative. • Freeman Detweiler, with the Jamesport Farm Supply store, says the Jamesport Amish community is taking the coronavirus outbreak every bit as seriously as their “English” neighbors. • Daviess County continued COVID-19 free, with no confirmed local cases of the virus officially reported by the county’s health department. • Edmon Howard, Director of the This BIG ...no foolin’! Daviess-DeKalb Regional Jail, continued the “no admittance” procedures for the jail. • The more we stay home, the more temporary this situation will be. That is the hope and the message of Daviess County’s health and emergency directors as they guide the area through the COVID-19 crisis. • The Gallatin Ministerial Alliance canceled its annual Good Friday service due to the COVID-19 virus. • Building on Missouri’s efforts to control, contain, and combat COVID-19, Gov. Mike Parson issued a statewide “Stay Home Missouri” order. • Larry Rouner, a rural carrier at the Pattonsburg Post Office, officially retired on April 30. • A Gallatin alumnus, Brig. Gen. James R.

street repairs, such as repairs to water and sewer lines, and the LMI funds last for four years. “Basically, Gallatin would get the beneﬁt of $1,000,000 for the repair of the streets for a 7-year payment of $75,000 per year,” Rains states in his letter. “There would be zero ($0) additional expense to the residents of Gallatin. […] The only way for the City of Gallatin to catch up on the street deterioration is to receive grant funding from outside sources. Gallatin needs its residents to complete the survey, if they receive the random survey, and send it to Green Hills Regional Planning Commission to be tallied.” Rains then assures Gallatin residents that Green Hills Regional Planning Commission, a third party used for help to create the grant application, will be the only party to receive the LMI surveys. For the love of these bumpy roads, please consider completing the survey, and contact Lance Rains with any questions. Also, be sure to see the complete Letter to the Editor on page 2.

Arecibo now rubble

For over 40 years Liz and I have done practically everything we do together. So, I guess a few more days in self-quarantine at home alone due to exposure to COVID is just another “experience” to add to our list. We’re not expecting to get sick (if you exclude cabin fever), but then again, who does? Exploring space is a means of escape and by this I mean literally space -- the outer kind. I never tire of those fascinating photos that telescopes and spacecrafts digitally deliver back to us on earth to view. Learning about the cosmos is so intriguing -- more worthy than time spent watching another Netflix program or reading another mystery novel. Last month marked the end of an era. On Dec. 1 the Arecibo radio telescope — a storied tool for atmospheric science and astronomy that has produced valuable research for decades — collapsed. This enormous telescope, located in Puerto Rico, was the largest of its kind in the world until the Aperture Spherical Telescope was erected in China in 2016. What made Arecibo special? Anthony Lupo, a professor of atmospheric science at the University of Missouri’s College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources, offers these thoughts about what the world’s scientific community has lost with Arecibo’s collapse. The Arecibo telescope’s enormous size allowed researchers to study the ionosphere, which is by Darryl Wilkinson where the edge of the earth’s atmosphere meets solar wind from far beyond our planet. The gases in the ionosphere actually make it possible for us to communicate at great distances using radio waves. Being able to study that region of the atmosphere with the detail afforded by Arecibo has led to many advances in how we use radio waves. The facility also used “LIDAR,” a type of radar that can see clouds that are too high or thin for the naked eye. That’s very useful for studying atmospheric weather conditions. It’s sad to see what the sands of time have done to Arecibo, but it’s also important to remember that scientists have safety nets — Arecibo is not the lone marvel it was in 1963. We now have the Hubble Space Telescope and China’s Aperture Spherical Telescope, among others. Arecibo was, and continues to be, an irreplaceable facility worth preserving, both for its scientific capabilities and for its cultural impact. James Bond climbed the telescope in the movie “GoldenEye,” and it was also featured in the Jodie Foster film, “Contact.” Luckily, with the resources available to scientists today, there shouldn’t be too much of a disruption to the type of research that Arecibo supported. What can we learn from this collapse? Arecibo is located in the tropics, so it is regularly exposed to tropical storm conditions. Just a few months ago, the facility weathered tropical storm Isaias. This doesn’t necessarily mean we shouldn’t put observatories in tropical locations, but it highlights the need for regular upkeep and upgrades.

Ours readers write...

Dear Editor: January 2021 The City of Gallatin needs the help of its population. One of the biggest critiques of Gallatin that I have heard since my hiring in February of 2019 has been the condition of the city streets. Gallatin has had an unwritten policy to repave north/south streets every odd year and east/west streets on even years. In 2019, Gallatin bid out the repaving of Daviess Street, but the contractors couldn’t perform the work because of all of the ﬂood repairs that they were performing North of St. Joseph. So, the council moved those dollars from the 2019 budget to the 2020 budget. That is why we were able to repave Daviess St. and Van Buren St. during the same ﬁscal year. Gallatin receives approximately $174,000 in revenue from the combining of the City Public Mass Transportation Tax with the Road Sales Tax each year. The council uses $145,000 of that amount to complete the repaving jobs each year. Of that, Gallatin receives approximately $80,000 per year from the ½ % road sales tax that was approved in 2016. The remainders of the collected taxes are used to purchase materials for the chip-n-seal projects that our local crew can perform, materials for pothole repair, cold mix, etc. Basically $145,000 can pay for the repaving of one medium sized road per year, if petroleum stays in a reasonable price range. To make a long story short our roads are deteriorating at a much more rapid rate than we have the money to repair them.

(continued on page 3)

The City of Gallatin is proposing to perform a random Low to Moderate Income Survey (LMI) to the residents to help in securing grant funding. To become eligible for grant funding the city must be considered 51% Low to Moderate Income (LMI) or higher and have an 80% return rate or higher of the survey. You would think that would be a forgone conclusion but according to the 2010 Census Gallatin had a rating of 44.86% and so we are not eligible at this time. In addition to that issue the 2020 Census data will not be out for a few more years. Gallatin had to perform a similar LMI survey in 2011 before it got the funding for the new water plant and so that proves that we can achieve our goal. The new LMI survey will be good for four years and will help us in securing funds for not only a street project but would also qualify Gallatin for grant funds for the replacement of faulty water lines, collapsing sewer lines and provide an avenue to utilize economic development funds. Gallatin plans on using approximately half of our budgeted repaving funds of $145,000 to secure a multi-year loan for over $500,000. We will then use those funds as matching funds to the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) in which we would receive approximately $500,000 in grant funding. Basically, Gallatin would get the beneﬁt of $1,000,000 for the repair of the streets for a seven-year payment of $75,000 per year. There would be zero ($0) additional expense to the resi-

A time for legislative priorities, not business as usual By Phill Brooks

The start of Missouri’s legislature during the second year of the COVID-19 pandemic raises questions about how lawmakers will adjust to the realities of this rampant virus. Just visualize a state Capitol during a normal legislative session with legislators, legislative staffers, lobbyists, agency ofﬁcials, visitors and reporters crowded into committee rooms and narrow hallways. Because many legislators refuse to wear face-masks, it’s a potential super-spreader environment endangering all in the building who can spread infection across the state when they return home. The legislature has taken steps to reduce statehouse exposure. School groups were discouraged from visiting the Capitol. The House had small groups of members separately entering the chamber to cast votes rather than

dents of Gallatin. Gallatin is proposing to use these proposed funds for the rehabilitation of West Grand St., Berry St., Corrine St., and Burns St. just to name a few. We will use the funds on the streets as far as we can stretch them, and we will have a plan of primary streets all the way down to the secondary streets devised just in case we have additional funds left over. The only way for the City of Gallatin to catch up on the street deterioration is to receive grant funding from outside sources. Gallatin needs its residents to complete the survey, if they receive the random survey, and send it to Green Hills Regional Planning Commission to be tallied. Green Hills RPC is a pseudogovernmental third party that will work with Gallatin to create the CDBG grant application. Green Hills RPC will be the only party to look at the completed surveys and so privacy will be assured. In conclusion, Gallatin needs the help of the residents to update our streets so we can have the best city possible. Please promptly complete the survey and drop it in the mail with the addressed stamped envelope provided. Please feel free to contact Lance Rains, City Administrator, at (660)663-2011 or email him at cityadmin@gallatinmo.com with any questions or comments. Thank you in advance for your help on this very important issue. Lance Rains City Administrator

requiring all members be in the chamber at the same time. House and Senate committee hearings will be streamed online so the public can hear, and in the House, actually see what’s going on without being present. In late 2020, the House inaugurated an internet system to let witnesses testify to committees without physical presence. They’ve also considered suspending having legislative college interns. Audiences for committee hearings will be socially distanced. But I’m not sure that is enough given the state’s infection rates. Those initial steps will not provide full protection from those in the statehouse from those who refuse to wear masks. A Capitol mask requirement is unlikely given the current political environment and Gov. Mike Parson’s rejection of the idea. It’s made me think that just as Missourians have reduced activities to deal with the realities of this virus, maybe the legislature should do the same by prioritizing their efforts. If Missouri’s legislature were to limit efforts to bills of importance with a realistic chance of passage, it signiﬁcantly could reduce the number of days of potential COVID-19 exposure in the Capitol. In the past decade, about 2,000 bills were introduced each year. But just 10% of those bills, often less, passed the General Assembly, The vast majority of those bills never even got out of committee! Legislative leaders, committee chairs and reporters easily can identify these dead-end bills. Yet, endless hours of staff time, committee hearings and chamber debate are spent on measures and amendments with no legislative future. If the legislature could implement a bipartisan process to restrict efforts to proposals with a realistic future, it might cut Capitol COVID-19 exposure from four to maybe as little as two days per week. Limiting the legislature’s

time would not be as drastic as you might think. Missouri’s legislature has a decades-long history of adjusting procedures to avoid unrealistic log jams of bills reaching the full House and Senate. Now, many House bills are not even assigned to committee until it’s too late in the session for them to even get a hearing. Years ago, Senate leaders limited how many bills Senate committees could report to the full Senate for debate. Another step could be a bipartisan agreement to limit the endless hours of chamber debate on amendments and motions with no future. Often, it has struck me how these extended chamber sessions are public performances for political, public or special interest attention rather than a real discussion with colleagues to reﬁne legislation. On the other side, there is tremendous pressure for these dead-end legislative ideas. Legislative sponsors can claim credit for sponsoring bills with no future. Lobbyists can claim credit for bills pushed by their clients that get discussed with lawmakers or get heard by committees. However, I confess I make this recommendation for the legislature to focus on immediate priorities with hesitation. In past years, the debates and committee hearings on ideas with no immediate future provided an opportunity for legislators and reporters to learn more about emerging problems and ideas facing our state that could have far more importance and traction in future years. But this year, the health threat facing our state suggests this is not a time for business as usual.

Arecibo now rubble (continued from page 2) A cutting-edge facility needs cutting-edge funding. Unfortunately, that didn’t happen for Arecibo. Professor Lup has been involved in the review process for several research papers that relied on research performed at Arecibo. And like many people, he was inspired by the grandeur of the telescope and the scope of the research it made possible. This is the epitaph he offers for our consideration: “The Arecibo telescope was a reminder of what can be accomplished when brilliant engineers, researchers and financial support come together in the service of science. It’s rare that something like a telescope becomes a go-to Hollywood symbol, and it’s a shame that something so inspirational has been reduced to rubble.”

Light up the night winners In the midst of a pandemic, the Gallatin community kept the holiday spirit alive with their 5th Annual “Light Up the Night” Christmas decorating contest. Though there were several ornately decorated residences and commercial buildings, there could only be one winner for each category. The winner for the residential category was Stacy and Kristy Burns at 506 E Mill. The winner for the commercial category was Gallatin Publishing Company at 609 S Main Ste B. Coordinator for the “Light Up

the Night” event and other community happenings, Bethany Vandiver, congratulates the winners, though there weren’t near as many registered participants as there have been in past years. “A lot of people called asking about participation,” Vandiver said. “We’d love to have more entries in the future.” Vandiver would like to remind the community to check the FriendsofGallatin.org website for future community events. Homeowners and local businesses are encouraged to register and participate in this merry tradition again next year.

Area Churchs report services and activites

Pictured are Wendy Hansen and Elizabeth Huffman, two of many volunteers who helped with the free Christmas dinner

Many enjoy free Christmas meal Around 300 people participated in the free Christmas day dinner hosted by Inner Peace Reserve and BB's Down Home Cookin’ in Gallatin. Wendy Hansen, who recently moved to the area, came up with the idea for the free meal for families in need. Wendy is a volunteer with Inner Peace Reserve, which is located northwest of Gallatin. "Amazingly, we had enough food for everybody," says Wendy. "We barely had enough beans, but we survived." Between 60 and 80 came to the dinner; 160 people received

delivered meals; and 60 came by for pick-up. Meals were delivered to Lake Viking, Kidder and Jamesport. One meal went all the way to Liberty. "We had a man call who thought Gallatin was a street in Liberty," said Wendy. "I told him we'd make sure a hot meal was delivered to him and his wife." "This was the best Christmas I've ever had," said Wendy. "I'm looking forward to doing this every year. I am super grateful for all those who supported this event."

Happy 2021-the best is yet to come! I hope everyone had a fun, but safe New Year’s! In 2020, I turned 55 years old. Throughout 2020, I did 55 NEW things I had never done! And, on December 31, I completed my 55th, 56th and 57th New things.... I milked a goat! Then, I gathered farm fresh eggs and finally turned my ingredients into a custard pie. Growing up, my mother always made custard, but never as a pie, so this was a new twist for me. As we move into 2021, it’s a fresh start but only if we choose to make it that way.

no authority to grant such an order. The Consumers Council of Missouri filed a request for the emergency order that would have prohibited disconnection or discontinuation of residential electric, natural gas and water service through at least March 31. The commission said that while it "shares its concern for the well-being of utility customers and all Missouri citizens during the pandemic," it lacks authority from the Legislature to issue a shutoff moratorium. The statement also said the Consumers Council failed to prove that a moratorium "is necessary to protect the public from an immediate danger."

MU Extension to help expand mental health resources in rural areas Missouri’s rural counties lack mental health services despite growing financial stress and suicide rates. All of Missouri’s 99 rural counties face a shortage of mental health professionals; 57 of them have none. University of Missouri Extension hopes to change that through a multistate project to help farmers, ranchers and farm families find affordable help close to home. MU is part of a $28.7 million, three-year grant from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture through the Farm and Ranch Stress Assistance Network (FRSAN). FRSAN supports projects that provide stress assistance and suicide prevention services for farmers, ranchers and others in agricultural occupations, says MU Extension health and safety specialist Karen Funkenbusch, who is MU’s principal investigator for the grant. “Rural Missouri is facing a mental health crisis, fueled largely by growing economic stress and lack of affordable mental health services close to home,” says Funkenbusch, who also serves as state director of the Missouri AgrAbility Project, which assists the growing population of farmers and ranchers living with disabilities. Trade policies and extreme weather have increased financial stress on the farm, she says. While the U.S. economy overall saw continued growth after the 2008-2009 recession, the farm sector has endured six periods of recession and rising numbers of bankruptcies. Suicide rates among rural Missourians rose by 78% between 2003 and 2017, Funkenbusch says. Hospital emergency departments reported a 177% increase in visits for suicide attempts or suicidal ideation in the past decade. “Critical resources are woefully inadequate and poorly matched to the needs of farmers and ranchers,” says Kathy Dothage, co-principal investigator for the grant. “Even when resources do exist, distance and affordability are issues since many self-employed rural families lack

health insurance coverage.” Funkenbusch says the culture of farming is steeped in self-reliance and independence, making it difficult for many farmers to seek and accept help. MU Extension is well-suited to offer stress and suicide prevention training in rural areas and help citizens find needed resources, says MU Vice Chancellor for Extension and Engagement Marshall Stewart. MU Extension professionals in all of Missouri’s 114 counties and a large network of health care and agriculture groups will collaborate to bring services to underserved areas, Stewart says. In addition, MU Extension will share resources with agency partners and others. As part of the project, MU Extension faculty will train to become certified instructors in Mental Health First Aid, QPR (Question, Persuade, Refer) and Taking Care of You. They will provide information to farmers through online and printed resources and social media. They also will hold workshops geared toward farmers and ranchers. The goal is to reach 800 farmers by the end of 2021. MU Extension will offer death, dying and bereavement workshops by state extension specialist Tashel Bordere, a nationally recognized researcher on loss and grief. Early in the COVID pandemic, MU Extension and MU’s Psychological Services Clinic began offering Skills for Psychological Recovery, which provides up to five brief sessions by phone or videoconference to farm and ranch families experiencing financial and mental stress. “These interventions help farmers and ranchers build resilience,” says Debora Bell, di-

Family dispute ends in violence Christopher Huffman of Jamesport was arrested for domestic assault after a family gathering on Dec. 31, 2020. Huffman, age 31, had a heated argument with his father about another family member. According to Deputy Jason Melton’s statement prepared by the Daviess County Sheriff’s Office, the father held Huffman down. When Huffman was released, he bashed his father in the face multiple times. After his father pressed charges, Huffman was arrested for 1st degree domestic assault. Huffman’s father was later transferred to St. Luke’s Hospital in Kansas City for damage to his eye sockets

and bleeding on the brain. Huffman was reported to state he did nothing wrong, and that he was simply protecting himself in the presence of his 5-year-old-son whom, due to custody issues, Huffman is not allowed to see without the presence of a family member. Huffman has previously been charged with violation of a protective order, resisting arrest, peace disturbance, and endangering the welfare of a child.

fused to give it to him, they began to argue. The fighting made its way to the front porch, where Watts grabbed a hammer and threatened S.H. with it. The probable cause statement prepared by the Daviess County Sheriff’s Office reports Watts saying he would “bash her head in with a hammer.” Fearful for

her well-being, S.H. stepped into the house and locked Watts out. Watts was charged with burglary in the 2nd degree and assault in the 4th degree. Watts has been in trouble in the past with assault, possession of drugs, several counts of theft, burglary, stalking, and criminal contempt.

atin against Lawson were Andon Allen (138), Rodell Sperry (152), Draygan Schweizer (170) and Gage Wright (182). The Bulldogs captured 7 matches against St. Pius, by Luke Johnson (106), Allen (138), Draven Wright (145), Sperry (152), Logan Bottcher (160), Schweizer (170) and Gage Wright (182). GHS wins against Stanberry came from Johnson (106), Allen (138), Draven Wright (145), Sperry (152), Bottcher (160), Schweizer (170) and Gage Wright (182). Lady Bulldog wrestlers earned a split against Lawson and Stanberry. Powering GHS to a 36-0 win over Stanberry with match wins were Jaiden Rainey (122), Christin Burns (132), Maddi Michael (137), Caragan Baker (143), Betty Rogers (151) and Kaydence Clevenger (159). Rainey, Baker and Clevenger were match winners in a 24-18 loss to Lawson. Bulldog girls and boys travel to Mid-Buchanan on Thursday and will compete in the Marshall Tournament on Saturday, as well as the Polo Quad next Tuesday.

Birthday girl lifts Winston girls to HDC victory Tuesday turned out to be a special day for Winston's Kortney Estes for more than one reason. Estes, who celebrated her birthday on Tuesday, launched a buzzer beater shot that lifted the Lady Redbirds to a 34-33 HDC Conference win over

North Harrison. The Redbird boys upped their season record to 9-0 with a 58-29 win in the nightcap. Jacob Uthe scored a game-high 27 points to lead Winston. Brian Lewis also reached double figures with 10 points.

Gallatin's boys, in their first competition since Dec. 8, quickly shook off the cobwebs, building a 16-3 lead over Trenton less than 4 minutes into Tuesday night's contest. Three Bulldogs, Isaac Bird, Brinley Vandiver and Payton Feiden each reached double figures in the first half. Gallatin turned a 33-8 third quarter advantage into a running clock on the way to a 71-32 GRC victory. The Bulldogs travel to Polo on Friday and will make up a game with Putnam County at

Simple way to kick those bad habits Bad habits run the gamut, from the relatively innocuous, such as biting one's nails, to the potentially deadly, such as smoking tobacco. As much as people may strive to avoid bad habits, few people may say they don't have at least one. A 2015 60 Minutes/Vanity Fair poll found that people tend to be more judgemental of themselves than others when it comes to bad habits. Nearly seven in ten Americans admitted they judge themselves more than they judge other people. Men and women who are hard on themselves when it comes to their bad habits may want to try some of the following techniques to break those behaviors. · Employ the buddy system. Men and women who aspire to lose weight often stay motivated by exercising alongside a friend or family member and/ or encouraging their families to adopt certain dietary changes. The buddy system also can be employed when trying to break bad habits. Whether a partner, family member or friend is trying to break the same bad habit or not, having someone along to praise your successes and discourage you from falling back into bad habits can make overcoming certain behaviors

that much easier. · Try something new. When trying to quit a bad habit, having something to do in its place can help. For example, men and women who want to spend less time staring at their devices or watching television can benefit from finding something healthy to do in the hours they would normally be spending online or on the couch. For example, adults may find joining a recreational sports league gets them out of the house on weeknights when they would otherwise be sitting at home watching television. Replacing something that's perceived as a negative habit or behavior with one that's considered positive can provide the motivation necessary to kick a bad habit. · Figure out what's triggering your bad habit. Another way to kick a bad habit is to understand what triggers it. Such an understanding can help people develop healthier reactions to the triggers, ultimately eliminating the bad habit. For example, if stress at the office compels you to smoke a cigarette, you can prepare healthier ways to respond to that stress, such as walking around the office, versus heading outside to smoke

a cigarette. When necessary, speak to a psychologist about identifying triggers if you cannot identify them on your own. · Educate yourself. Adults with especially harmful bad habits, such as excessive alcohol consumption or smoking, may find all the motivation they need to change their behaviors by educating themselves. For instance, smokers may be surprised to learn that, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, more than 10 times as many American citizens have died prematurely from cigarette smoking than have died in all the wars fought by the United States combined. The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism notes that excessive alcohol consumption over a long period of time can cause cardiomyopathy, arrythmia, stroke, and high blood pressure. People may recognize that smoking and excessive alcohol consumption are bad for them, but learning just how bad might provide the spark they need to change their ways. Breaking bad habits is seldom easy. But adults who commit to changing their ways can overcome even the worst of habits.

Signs of postpartum depression For many women, the joy of welcoming a new baby into the world is enough to overlook all of the sacrifices and physical changes they must make and go through while pregnant. While that joy is unrivaled, women dealing with postpartum depression may find their initial weeks or months of motherhood are not how they imagined they would be prior to giving birth. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, there is no single cause of postpartum depression, which is likely the result of a combination of factors, some of which are physical and others that are emotional.

The NIMH points out that postpartum depression does not result from something a mother does or does not do, but may be traced to hormonal changes in a woman's body that occur after giving birth. After childbirth, a woman's estrogen and progesterone levels quickly drop, potentially triggering mood swings. When coupled with the inability to get adequate rest that many women experience after childbirth, these hormonal changes can contribute to symptoms of postpartum depression. Reconizing postpartum depression is not always so simple. For example, many women ex-

perience feelings of exhaustion after giving birth, but that does not mean they are suffering from postpartum depression. The following are some of the more common symptoms of postpartum depression, courtesy of the NIMH. · Feeling sad, hopeless, empty, or overwhelmed · Crying more often than usual or for no apparent reason · Worrying or feeling overly anxious · Feeling moody, irritable or restless · Oversleeping or being unable to sleep even when her baby is asleep · Having trouble concentrating, remembering details and making decisions · Experiencing anger or rage · Losing interest in activities that are usually enjoyable · Suffering from physical aches and pains, including frequent headaches, stomach problems and muscle pain · Eating too little or too much · Withdrawing from or avoiding friends and family · Having trouble bonding or forming an emotional attachment with her baby · Persistently doubting her ability to care for her baby · Thinking about harming herself or her baby While those are common symptoms of postpartum depression, women and their families should recognize that not all womens' experiences with postpartum depression will be similar. Only healthcare providers can diagnose postpartum depression, and women or their loved ones who suspect the disorder might be affecting them or their loved one should consult a physician right away.

The benefits of breastfeeding By: Caitlin Roberts Breastfeeding Peer Counselor, Daviess County Health Department

Often when we think of health and wellness we think of things such as diets, exercise, eating healthy food, limiting alcohol, not smoking, and having regular checkups with our primary care provider. I’m going to talk about a different side of health and wellness that you probably haven’t thought of before, breastfeeding. I know, breastfeeding, how does it pertain to health and wellness? Well, it’s actually quite beneficial for both baby and mama’s health. Breastfeeding is not only natural and provides your baby with the perfect milk made just for them, it also comforts them, regulates their body temperature, helps soothe them when they are upset or in pain, and protects them. When babies are breastfed, antibodies from the mother are passed on to them, building up their immune systems to help protect them from all of the germs and viruses. Breastfeeding has many benefits for both mamas and babies. Often people tell me they know breastfeeding is the healthier option for babies, but they don’t know why, and they don’t know it’s also good for mama

too! Breastfed babies have less chance of developing allergies, eczema, asthma, ear infections and respiratory illnesses. It also lowers their risk for diabetes and cancers. Along with that, breastfeeding also lowers the risk for SIDS. Mothers also benefit from breastfeeding in many ways. Breastfeeding releases the naturally relaxing hormones oxytocin and prolactin, which can lower mama’s stress, anxiety and depression. Therefore breastfeeding can benefit mama’s mental health, as well as her physical health because breastfeeding also helps your body recover from pregnancy and childbirth. The benefits don’t stop there! Breastfeeding can lower mama’s chance of breast and ovarian cancers, as well as lower chances of diabetes, hypertension and cardiovascular disease. That’s just a quick overview of the multitude of benefits breastfeeding can provide for mamas and babies. I’ve tried to stay away from mentioning COVID-19 in this article, but I do feel it’s important to make it clear that breastfeeding is highly encouraged during this global pandemic. We encourage breastfeeding to continue through

colds, strep throat, influenza and now COVID. Of course, take precautions while handling your babe while ill. Wash your hands, wear a mask while feeding baby, if necessary. Please consult a healthcare provider for specific questions. Once you are experiencing symptoms, your baby has likely already been exposed and continuing breastfeeding is the best protection you can give them. Not only are you passing on antibodies to your baby to build their immunity, but you also will not have to worry about finding formula if shelves go empty again. If you go on quarantine you won’t have to worry about when and how you’re going to get your baby’s formula. Are you or somebody you know struggling with breastfeeding, or have questions regarding breastfeeding? Give me a call at the Daviess County Health Department. We are here to help you meet your goals and support you!

provide personal satisfaction. Such opportunities should not be overlooked. · Practice open communication and proper conflict management with colleagues. Negative working environments can be stressful, leading to dissatisfaction on the job. Openly com-

Occupational wellness Occupational wellness is not necessarily a familiar term, but it's something that most professionals strive for. According to the Student Health and Counseling Services at the University of California, Davis, occupational wellness inspires people to find work from which they will gain personal satisfaction and find enrichment. Occupational wellness promotes the exploration of various career options and the pursuit of those opportunities that most appeal to each individual. While it may seem like common sense to aspire for an engaging, enjoyable career, the effect that finding such a career can have on overall well-being might not be so apparent. In an analysis of a recent Gallup World Poll, a survey that asks hundreds of thousands of workers across the globe about their jobs and their job satisfaction, Harvard Business Review found there is a correlation between job satisfaction and life evaluations. People who report being satisfied with their jobs seem to be happier overall. So how can one embrace the concept of occupational wellness? UC Davis offers individuals the following suggestions as they begin their journeys to occupational wellness. · Perform some self-reflection. Reflect on yourself and what you need out of a job. Are there certain occupational tasks you enjoy? Are there some you find burdensome? Identifying those you enjoy and those you feel are onerous can help you narrow down your options to careers you will find engaging and rewarding. · Consider unpaid work and volunteer opportunities. Even though they don't pay, unpaid work and volunteer opportunities can still enrich your life and

From Carts to Simulators – Tee It Up Indoors After several adjustments and unforeseeable challenges in the passing months, Hidden Quail Creek Carts, LLC in Winston expands from selling golf carts to supporting the sport indoors. Hidden Quail Creek Carts owners, Abraham and Janis Riggs, had been developing a new business for indoor golfing since mid-2020 called Tee It Up Indoors, LLC. The indoor golf building allows players to continue the sport casually and at a comfortable temperature.

However, in the middle of development, the family paused to grieve the loss of Abraham Riggs. Abraham passed on Oct. 19, 2020. Owner Janis Riggs continued to make Tee It Up Indoors a business Abraham would be proud of. The family continued to make renovations to the indoor golf building. The golf simulators are now up and running and the business is open. Hidden Quail Creek Carts continues business alongside Tee It Up Indoors to help golfers properly exercise their passion

Winter Hazard: Boo warns of thin ice By Troy Lesan

Boo was very lucky in avoiding disaster on thin ice. Boo is a gorgeous female golden retriever. She, along with her brother Buster, is owned by Eric and Jody Odette who live at Lake Viking. Boo and Buster are well-known at the lake, because Eric and Jody always take them along when they go on frequent boat-rides. Like many playful and fun-loving golden retrievers, Boo loves to play “fetch.”

All Eric Odette has to do is mention the word and Boo becomes excited over her favorite game with the familiar red ball. On Thursday, December 31, however, that game almost became deadly as a result of a freak set of circumstances involving “thin ice.” Eric had been throwing the red ball to Boo in his front yard, but after the ball rolled on the slick icy ground, out into the road, he became concerned about Boo being exposed to oncoming traffic. He moved the game to the back yard and Boo eagerly followed. Eric gave the ball a playful toss, but the problem was that the back yard was also very slick with a coating of recently fallen snow on top of a glaze of ice. As a result, the ball rolled and slid and rolled, skimming across the icy terrain, down the hill, over the seawall, and it rolled a considerable dis-

tance onto the ice of Lake Viking. Boo, of course, chased the ball. As she followed it out onto the ice, disaster occurred. Because of the mild winter, Lake Viking has only recently frozen. Some large areas are still open water with thin ice at the perimeters of those spots. As Boo chased the red ball, she suddenly found herself breaking through the thin ice and in the cold water! Pandemonium followed. Boo tried to get out of the water and back onto the ice, but she couldn’t. Eric’s good friend and neighbor, Robert Walton, grabbed a shovel to start breaking ice, but he immediately fell on a slick spot, on land. This was going badly, but Robert had the presence of mind to call 911 and report a “situation” about to occur on thin ice. Then, Eric remembered a small plastic paddle boat that had been left at

his place by a friend. He frantically dashed to the shoreline and put the paddle boat in the water – but there was still ice between him and Boo. After breaking ice with Robert’s shovel, he advanced the boat forward. Then, he broke more ice, literally progressing foot by foot. By the time Eric reached Boo, she was terribly weak and about to go under. Amazingly, by this time, three emergency response ambulances had arrived as Eric made it back to shore with his weak and nearly frozen dog. He rushed Boo into the house, dried her off and covered her with blankets, and she survived. Eric is thankful that a friend had left the paddle boat at his place. Otherwise, the result

would have been disastrous. He was also amazed at the quick response by local emergency response departments. This incident is a reminder. The type of weather we’ve been having makes slips and falls on ice a very real hazard. I know several people who have been seriously injured. Worse yet, this type of weather also makes falls through the ice a danger. Over the years, I have personally known of two people who have fallen through the ice on lakes and ponds and drowned – and another young man who barely survived falling through ice. In 2020, Joyce Dooley also of Lake Viking, found that her dog (ironically his name was “Mr. Boo”) was frozen in the lake water. Need I say: WATCH OUT for ice and STAY OFF the ice on bodies of water.

SBA Extends Deadline The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) has announced that the deadline to apply for the Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) program for the COVID-19 Pandemic disaster declaration is extended to Dec. 31, 2021. The deadline extension comes as a result of the recent bipartisan COVID-19 relief bill passed by Congress and enacted by President Trump on Dec. 27, 2020. To date, the SBA has approved $197 billion in low-interest loans which provides working capital funds to small businesses, non-profits and agricultural businesses make it through this challenging time. “Following the President’s declaration of the COVID-19 Pandemic, the SBA has approved over 3.6 million loans through our Economic Injury Disaster Loan program nationwide,” Administrator Jovita Carranza said. “The EIDL program has assisted millions of small businesses, including non-profit organizations, sole proprietors and independent contractors, from a wide array of industries and business sectors, to survive this very difficult economic environment.” EIDL loan applications will continue to be accepted through December 2021, pending the availability of funds. Loans are offered at very affordable terms, with a 3.75% interest rate for small businesses and 2.75% interest rate for nonprofit organizations, a 30-year maturity, and an automatic deferment of one year before monthly payments begin. Every eligible small business and nonprofit are encouraged to apply to get the resources they need.
