Introducing Kidder Tiny Homes

...have they got a DIY project for you!

David McEwen says the Kidder Tiny Home subdivision, located in Kidder, was in part the brainchild of his son, Daren McEwen. But it turns out much of the ‘brawn’ that has gone into the buildings came from him. Daren lives out-of-state where he has worked for 13 years at a furniture company. When COVID -19 hit in March, the company asked for volunteers to take an

extended vacation to assist the store with social distancing, but this turned into a furlough for many of the employees. Daren was one of those furloughed and was not sure if or when he would be hired back. So, he began to focus on a project begun almost three decades prior by his father, David. In 1994, David purchased several lots in Kidder, including the

Prayers

Vol. 156, No. 29

The Gallatin Theater Leagues (GTL) offers a huge ‘Thank You!’ to Landmark Manufacturing for making new marquee signs and to 87 Pit Stop Powder Coating and Restoration for ﬁnishing the signs. Even though the theater league has had to cancel scheduled performances, improvements to the building have continued. A few of those improvements are new air conditioning units to the roof, point tuck repair to the brick facade, ticket booth removal, and renovation to the front lobby. The building improvement chairman is Rick Wharton and GTL is thankful to Rick and other theater members who have dedicated their time to help in the past, present and in future endeavors. GTL members appreciate continued community support.

Local man a witness at Capitol, refutes ‘all involved’ in violence by T.L. Huﬀman, staﬀ writer

Rolla Joyce of Gallatin was at the rally in Washington D.C. on Jan. 6. The gathering ended in calamity when a violent mob breached the Capitol, threatening the 535 members of a joint session of Congress who were gathered there to count the Electoral College vote. Five people died in the melee, including a Capitol police ofﬁcer and a young female protester. But the gathering didn’t start with dark intentions, Joyce says. It started as a gathering of like-minded people who only wanted to be seen and heard. “We weren’t nut jobs, just concerned citizens,” he says. For the most part, they were citizens worried about irregularities in the voting process, concerns they say have been dismissed by the press and government ofﬁcials. Most were hoping for the opportunity for the electoral college to be audited. “Seven or eight states sent dueling electors,” Joyce says. “We were thinking if it got kicked back to the state legislators, they could debate which ones were correct.” Joyce was a reluctant witness.

“I didn’t want to go to the rally on Jan. 6,” he says. “I felt strongly impressed that I should go. I believe the only reason I was so strongly prompted to go was so I could stand as a witness. Not everybody there got wrapped up in the extremist activities, not even close.” Joyce has not always been a Trump advocate. “In 2016, I was part of the ‘Never Trump’ campaign,” he says. “But I thought he was the better option of the candidates. I was pleasantly surprised by what he ended up doing. I chalk some of my support up to the constant attacks by the Democratic party. They were holding anti-Trump rallies before he was even inaugurated.” Joyce drove to Washington to join the rally. It took him about 18 hours. He got to the Shady Grove metro station around 5:30 a.m. on Jan. 6. He rode the red line train into Washington D.C. with a guy he’d just met from California named Jeff. Moving toward the Ellipse along Pennsylvania Avenue, away from the Capitol building, Joyce saw trucks with dozer blades and police cars lined up along

the side streets to keep vehicles out of the area from the Capitol Building to the White House, and Pennsylvania Avenue to “The Mall.” He and Jeff walked from Metro Central station to Pennsylvania Avenue then to 15th Street by the Ellipse, where a security check point was set up on Constitution Avenue. “There was a revelry-type atmosphere, and upbeat music was playing on the loudspeaker,” he says. “The crowd was chanting U-S-A and whatnot.”

Walking along with the crowd, Joyce was aware of agitation among some people caused by tweets from internet personalities, names he was not really familiar with. “Some conspiracy wonk was tweeting that Mike Pence and Congress planned to unseat Trump and seize power of the executive branch. That was the only outrage I actually heard voiced by the crowd.” He arrived at the checkpoint at about 6:30 a.m. A giant line of thousands of people had started to form trailing south along the sidewalk to the Washington

Monument, and around to 15th Street and back to Constitution Avenue waiting to go through Security to enter the Ellipse. “The attitude was more or less one of merriment,” he says. He noted an occasional Q’Aanon ﬂag. He spotted internet personality Alex Jones as his ‘posse’ passed by. “Some people in the crowd were shouting, but it was not overwhelming, just the occasional person pumping a ﬁst and shouting, ‘We’re with you!’ and ‘Yeah Alex!’ in approval,” Joyce says. The rally was scheduled to start at 9 a.m. and President Trump was set to speak at 11 a.m. By 9 a.m., the area was full but not tightly packed. “It was wide enough that Jeff and I were able to navigate through. We could see and hear, but the sound system was awful.” They went back to the security check point in the middle of Constitution Avenue by the intersection next to the Ellipse. “We could see on the jumbotrons,” Joyce says. “At this point, the crowd just seemed happy to be there.” (continued on page 12)

OPINION

January 27, 2021

Rebuilding trust

A recent article in the Wall Street Journal is startling. Kevin Vallier, author of “Trust in a Polarized Age,” writes that during the 1970s about half of Americans surveyed believed that most people can be trusted. That percentage now stands at less than one-third. Ponder that for a moment. Contrast today to America then. The 1970s were a continuation of the turbulent decade of the 1960s, after the Watts Riots and the Antiwar Movement and the assassinations of JFK, RFK and MLK, when... • the Watergate scandal led to the resignation of President Richard Nixon (1972 when police arrested burglars in the Democratic National Committee headquarters; 1974 when Nixon resigned) • the Vietnam War planted the seeds of distrust in full harvest today (1975 when Viet Cong tanks rolled through the gate of the Presidential Palace in Saigon, effectively ending the war) Now consider Vallier’s point again: fewer people today believe most people can be trusted than back then. Mr. Vallier also points to a recent Pew poll which describes a generational divide in the level of distrust in the United States. About a third of those over 65 beby Darryl Wilkinson lieved most people can’t be trusted. For those respondents between ages 18 and 29, the percent was nearly twice as high. Levels of trust endure. The younger generation will carry this low level of trust into the future. When trust erodes, the result is not good. A marriage without trust often ends badly. I won’t bother to vote if I believe that elections are rigged. I won’t respect police authority if I believe the cops are crooked. Pastors are just money seekers if they only say what I want to hear and worse if they preach what I don’t want to hear. I won’t trust the doctor unless she agrees with my diagnosis based on whatever I just read on the internet. Teachers can’t be trusted to choose curriculum, much less trusted with discipline, if my child fails to reach my expectations. There is no objective news if I willingly accept views from untrustworthy sources. If I trust my ballot is correctly counted where I vote, I distrust the overall election process because corruption always exists elsewhere. Distrust between groups in our society limits cooperation and often stokes resentment. In worldly measures, there are economic consequences of distrust. The culture where individuals came together to address and solve their common problems — a culture of trust — helped make the U.S. economy the envy of the world. Instead, we are witnessing a “coming apart” of American society, to use Charles Murray’s apt phrase. We point fingers without accepting responsibilities. We are quick to sue each other for slights that were once thought frivolous. And worse, we put our trust in dollars as we print more and more dollars like there’s no tomorrow. Our decline in trust has been aggravated by divisive, tribal politics — painting opposite views on what inflamed a mob to assault our nation’s capitol on Jan. 6. Will the debate called impeachment be about politics and procedure or about criminal behavior? Perhaps what we observe in Washington, D.C., simply reflects what we’ve become. We might want those we elect to re-learn how to better communicate, cooperate, and function together. But that won’t happen unless we demand it first as individuals daily from each other. This is why COVID is such a curse, restricting and reshaping our sense of community with intractable consequences. It’s hard to build trust when isolated. So, we bicker about facemasks, ignore pleas to socially distance and quarantine, and don’t trust the statistics describing death. Today’s crisis is about accountability, making those we elect accountable in the pursuit of what is right and just. Can we trust an impeachment process where everyone in one political tribe perfectly aligns without even one dissenting voice while the other tribe refuses to focus on the actual offenses as charged, preferring instead to argue on matters of procedure and politics? In a 2-party system so deeply entrenched and politically fractured, who can we trust? Trust is earned. Trust is built on the foundations of truth. Rebuilding trust will be critical not only for our politics, but also to shore up the foundations upon which our economic system and our entire society depend. Sadly, without trust, Vallier suggests things now going badly are going to get worse. We reap what we sow. How many Americans surveyed today would agree with this statement as it was believed and embraced when it was first coined: “In God We Trust”?

Off the Editor’s Spike...

Our readers write...

Mr. Wilkinson, As only a part-time reader of your paper, I was pleasantly surprised to read your editorial on Jan. 13. Your take on Donald Trump and especially Josh Hawley was dead on. To call out Republicans, even when they are plainly lying or supporting a liar, is so rare in these times in this part of the country. Most in your position just turn a blind eye to lies and arrogance of this bad joke of a president. And, of course, OUR Senator Hawley has scratched his way to top Trump lap dog. The boy sure does like to see his face on TV. Be sure to check out Messenger column in the Post-Dispatch about the young Senator. It is hilarious! We know what Trump and Hawley are, but we got another problem. Sam Graves, our farm

kid from Tarkio. As you know, he signed on for the same line of bull as Hawley did. Please take time to call him out also. He does not deserve a free pass. It is beyond me why a man who has been our Congressman for this many years feels the need to suck up to a lying, spoiled New York billionaire. Can he not stand on his own record? Can he not stand on his own integrity? Every elected Republican ofﬁcial in Missouri sucks up to Trump; don’t lie to me about your constituents’ concerns! OK, I’ve taken enough of your time. Here is a short one for your editorial page. Old school advice for Josh Hawley and Sam Graves: “When you lay down with dogs, you gonna wake up with ﬂeas.” Jerry Wilson, Kidder

Where are the vaccines?

by State Rep. J. Eggleston

I have some constituents who are not interested in getting the Covid vaccine, or who don’t want to be among the first to get it. I have others who are interested, but do not fall into the Phase 1 qualifications recommended by the CDC. But I have others who are interested and do qualify but are having a hard time finding the vaccine. I was recently approached by one of the health departments that serves my district about their frustration over not receiving the vaccine to fulfill their local need. Constituents and other local leaders also contacted me about the matter. So, I did some digging and here is what I learned. Neither the federal nor state government order or stockpile the vaccine. Local health departments, pharmacies, and hospitals get their orders approved by the state, but the vaccine is shipped directly to them from the pharmaceutical company.

The two vaccines now available are from Moderna and Pfizer. It was decided the Moderna vaccine would be distributed to nursing homes to inoculate those residents and workers, as the Moderna vaccine is not as temperature sensitive and can be broken up into order sizes that fit the needs of those facilities. Health Departments were required to use the Pfizer vaccine, which requires ultra-cold storage and can only be shipped in a box of 975 vials. But rural health departments like mine may only need 100 vials and do not have the ultra-cold storage, so early on they were not getting the vaccine. This forced multiple health departments to make a group order. I don’t know why Pfizer can’t break up an order like Moderna does, but it appears they just don’t. I’m told now that nursing homes have received their vaccinations, health departments may be able to order Moderna, but citizens will need to get their

second shot from the same manufacturer as their ﬁrst one. The biggest hindrance to fulﬁlling vaccine need is simple supply and demand. The CDC guidance says that anyone 65 and older, plus a number of health care and government workers, are now eligible for vaccination. For Missouri, that is about 2.5 million people - nearly half of our population. Since Missouri is only about 2% of the nation’s population, we only get about 2% of the vaccine produced, which the DHSS director tells me is 80,000 doses/ week. At that rate, it will be over a year for everyone in Phase 1 to get inoculated before we can begin on Phase 2 citizens. Increased production and more vaccine manufacturers will shorten that time. Johnson & Johnson is developing a single-shot vaccine, but that is still weeks away. For the latest info on the virus including vaccination locations, visit showmestrong. mo.gov and covidvaccine.mo.gov.

Executive Orders not encouraging by Congressman Sam Graves

Last Wednesday was a day of unity. It was a day to recognize the many achievements of the outgoing administration, while welcoming a new President. Over the last four years, we’ve made a great deal of progress toward rebuilding our country and restoring American greatness. We cut taxes for millions of working families for the ﬁrst time in years, putting them in control of more of their own money instead of Washington bureaucrats. We cut countless overbearing regulations churned out by the Obama Administration, getting big government off our backs and letting entrepreneurs lead our country to record-setting economic growth. We rebuilt our military, destroyed ISIS, and made unprecedented progress towards peace in the Middle East — securing not one, but three historic peace agreements with Israel. Perhaps most importantly, we fought back against the COVID-19 pandemic, rapidly ramping up production of ventilators, distributing millions of tests across the country, and developing multiple effective vaccines in record time. None of these accomplishments would have been possible without the leadership of former President Trump. After hearing President Biden’s speech yesterday and his calls for unity, one might believe that job No. 1 job of his administration would be

building on these achievements and moving our country forward together. Unfortunately, much of President Biden’s actions in his first 24 hours in office haven’t matched his rhetoric. Instead of working with leaders on both sides of the aisle to help rebuild our country and get through this pandemic, he’s busy gutting immigration laws — allowing thousands of illegal immigrants to flood our borders and suspending deportations of criminal illegal aliens. He’s busy killing critical infrastructure projects, like the Keystone XL pipeline, that support thousands of good-paying American union jobs, strengthen our allies, and reduce our reliance on oil from Venezuela and the Middle East. It doesn’t have to be this way. The way to get things done is

by working together. That’s how we’ve been able to get legislation important to North Missouri done, like the Water Resources Bill, which will help protect communities from ﬂooding. Americans from all walks of life agree on the core issues that will help our country. We need to rebuild our infrastructure, we need to reopen our schools and businesses safely, and we need to rebuild our economy. President Biden, Leader Schumer and Speaker Pelosi have an opportunity to live up to the promise of unity that was made during the inaugural address. Based on day one’s Executive Orders, I’m not very conﬁdent that will happen. Regardless, I’m still ready to work on the issues that are affecting the American people and look forward to doing so this year.

Kidder Tiny Homes (continued from page 1)

come across EZ Log Structures, a European manufacturer of 126 different models of tiny homes, cabins, and storage sheds, ranging from 35 to 1,800 square feet. Initially the plan was to only buy one of the mini homes and put it on one of the lots in Kidder, but the business was out of Poland and had no distributor in Missouri. COVID-19 had shut down its American ‘growth plan’, so it had no distributor west of the Mississippi. EZ Log told Daren if he would be willing to agree to the terms of a dealership agreement, including setting up a physical display of a variety of structures, they would get him set up as a dealer. “And Daren took the bait,” David laughs. “My son called me and said, ‘Dad, I’ve got a way to start your project’. He then left it to me to figure out how to build it.” While David says he is approaching 80 and totally crippled, there are some bright spots to meeting the challenge. “It’s nice to keep occupied during COVID-19,” he says. “I can move around and go out in the yard with my walker. The kits come in containers shipped from Europe to the coast

and then transported to Missouri. “The containers are jam packed; there isn’t even room for a mouse,” David says, “The cabins are designed for DIY -- do it yourself -- like the old Lincoln log sets. The kits provide everything needed to assemble a complete unit. My son came out and put them together, then left it to me to finish all the detail work.” As Daren was eventually called back to his furniture job, he uses his vacation time to return to Missouri to work on assembling the tiny homes. David has been able to put the electricity, plumbing and sewer in the houses. He has been able to manage with the help of a lot of good people in Kidder, including his neighbors. A construction company across the street has helped with excavation, and the Amish and Mennonites have helped with hauling the buildings around for him. As of now there are three of the tiny houses built. Another smaller unit is waiting to be turned into a modern-day outhouse and can been seen on David’s property just off J Highway in Kidder. Daren has plans to return this spring to possibly build several more cabins and establish a distribution center for those who want to purchase and build their

I hope this newsletter finds everyone well so far in 2021. We finished off December with 1.45 inches of rainfall and snow melt compared to 1.84 inches of normal precipitation. The 2020 calendar year ended with total of 38.39 inches, which is 2.01 below normal for Daviess County. Our office is busy with several different programs and signup going on right now. Below are dates and information for each program. Until further notice we will remain in our current operating status with our doors closed to the public, but we are available to assist through phone, email and utilizing the office windows. We appreciate your patience during this time. ARC-PLC deadline Mar. 15 The 2018 farm bill reauthorized and updated the ARC and PLC programs. Ag Risk Coverage, or ARC provides income support on base acres when crop revenue declines below certain levels. Price Loss Coverage, or PLC, provides income support on base acres when the price for a covered commodity falls below certain levels. ARCPLC Signup is currently open for the 2021 crop year, and the deadline is Mar. 15. Many producers’ contracts will be allowed to

own. The cabins kits are ideal for constructing a hunting cabin, a garden shed, a “she” shed, personal storage, a playhouse, a carport, or a little cottage. As the project evolves, the plan is to eventually have the lots in Kidder open for sale, with or without a cabin, and possibly open for rental like an RV park or cabin camping village. “We really don’t know what we’re doing,” David says. “It’s crazy.” But they may be crazy like a fox if the whole thing takes off. “I go out in my walker five or six hours a day when the weather is nice out,” David says. “If nothing else my son is keeping me busy.”

Keeping safe at the Capitol

by State Sen. Dan Hegeman

There have been a lot of questions about safety protocols at the Capitol this year, as the coronavirus pandemic stretches into its second year. Rest assured, there are a lot of great people working hard to make sure every precaution is taken to not only keep everyone safe, but to keep things moving as flawlessly as possible during these trying times. As people may expect, most of the usual ceremonies and events have either been cancelled for

this year, or are virtual events, when possible. There were not nearly as many visitors on the first day of session as there usually are, which points to people understanding the need to stay home and wait for another day. As for visiting the Capitol, it is best to call ahead, if you plan to see a specific state senator or representative. There is not a mask mandate inside the Capitol, but some individual offices ask those who want to come in to be wearing a mask.

automatically carry over from 2020 and will not require a signature. However, if you have picked up a new farm, or if the ownership on a farm that you operate has changed since last year, a new contract (with a new set of signatures) will be required. If the deadline is missed, the farm will default to prior year elections and that farm forfeits any potential 2021 payments. Please call the office to check the status of your ARC PLC contracts. CRP signup ends Feb. 12 General CRP Signup 56 is well underway in Daviess County. Please contact the office to schedule an appointment if you would like to offer land into CRP or find out more information. Offers can be for new cropland or expiring CRP land. Land must be clear of trees and noxious weeds and capable of being farmed in a normal manner. Land must be owned for a minimum of 1 year prior to being offered into CRP. General CRP offers are not first come first serve, instead all offers are submitted into a national ranking system after the end of the signup in February. Accepted offers would start Oct. 1, 2021. The maximum rental rate for Daviess County CRP during this general signup is $115 per acre.

Quality Loss Assistance Jan. 6 – March 5 This new disaster program provides assistance to farmers for quality losses received when selling their grain as a result of a qualifying weather event. In Daviess County, QLA will be available for eligible producers who have suffered a dollar value loss greater than 5% on corn, soybeans, wheat, and grain sorghum due to the 2018 drought and 2019 flooding. When applying, producers are asked to provide verifiable documentation to support claims of quality loss. For crops that have been sold, grading must have been completed within 30 days of harvest, or if stored long term, the COC will determine if the storage did or did not cause the quality loss. Some acceptable forms of documentation include sales receipts from buyers, settlement sheets, truck or warehouse scale tickets, written sales contracts, similar records that represent actual and specific quality loss information. Producers who have verifiable proof of dollar value loss will be compensated at 70% of the loss amount. As always please call or email with any questions and the staff here will be happy to assist you.

Municipal, school candidates file for April election The filing period for municipal and school board positions ended Jan. 19 for the April 6, 2021, election. A summary is as follows: ► Gallatin Mayor Barb Ballew reapplied for the two-year term as mayor for the City of Gallatin. No one has signed up for the two-year term for east ward alderman. Steven Evans, incumbent, and Daniel Plemons have both filed for the two-year term as west ward alderman. ► At Gallatin R-5 School, Trent Dowell, Anita Riley, Pam Critten, all incumbents, filed for three open positions on the board. No election is required. ► The City of Pattonsburg will not be required to hold an election. Edmon Howard Jr. did not refile for the position of mayor; Richard W. Mooney

This is an ongoing situation. I think most of us are starting to get used to wearing a mask and understand the need for them. Unfortunately, it does not look like the pandemic is nearing completion. Hopefully, with the coronavirus vaccinations continuing to be given, we will start to see the first real relief from this pandemic in the near future, at which point life may start to return to normal. Until then, we will keep helping our family and friends navigate this unusual time in our history.

Jameson looks at backhoe repair options The Village of Jameson took up the disposition of the old 1960’s model Ford diesel 6500 backhoe during their Dec. 28 meeting. Bob Woolsey, an employee of the village, went to both Gallatin T & T and Earley Ford, and received estimates of $3,500 to $5,000 (if parts are available) to repair the backhoe. There was discussion regarding scrapping the old backhoe. Scrap prices will be checked into. Woolsey stated he might be interested in purchasing the backhoe for scrap and parts. There will be a follow up at the next meeting. Woolsey reported that he plans to clean up the brush around the lagoon. He also reported that he has approached the state three different times about repairs on their part of the highway at Jameson. Two trustee positions (DeeAnn Fisher and Lorriann Fisher) are open for the April election. Packets with application information was passed out with an explanation on how to complete the forms. The 2019 annual review of all the village accounts was reported. The review was completed by Roger Eichler of Eichler Tax Service in Gallatin. His letter reflects everything is in order. The one snow removal bid re-

ceived from Woolsey at $20 per hour was read and accepted. The board stated it needed to be three inches or more of snow to run. During public comment, Mary Probert expressed concern about all the cars and appliances in some of the village yards. She suggested a clean-up day in the spring. During financial reports, Elaine Bohannon presented the General Checking account financial report and the Restricted Funds/Roads account for both October and November, which the board moved to accept. The board then turned to projected budgets for 2021. The General Checking budget for 2021 and the Restricted Funds/ Roads budget for 2021 were accepted. The Sewer Financial reports for October and November were presented. One new hook up in October was reported, with three delinquents currently. The board approved the following projected budgets: Sewer Budgets for 2021, Sewer Depreciation and Replacement Account, Sewer Debit Service Account, Meter Deposit Accounts, and CD’s. An email report from Steve McDowell dated Dec. 16, 2020,

was read stating that all is well with the lagoon and not discharging at this time. McDowell got the board set up on the newest Department of Natural Resources reporting system that he uses.Executive session was tabled until next month. The board approved a resolution to adopt the Hazard Mitigation Plan for FEMA. Informational packets regarding this plan had previously been distributed to the board. Next meeting was rescheduled for January 27 at 6 p.m. The above are the unapproved minutes of the Village of Jameson meeting held Dec. 28.

Andy Reid’s Prime Rib

● One standing rib roast (3 to 7 ribs) ● Butter

● Salt ● Pepper ● 5-6 potatoes

Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Slice potatoes and line the bottom of the pan with the slices. Roast should be at room temperature before it goes in the oven. Pat down with paper towels; add butter, salt and pepper on the rib roast and let sit at room temperature before it is cooked. Tie the roast with kitchen string. Cook ﬁve minutes for every pound of the cut. When the time is up, turn oven oﬀ. Keep oven door shut closed for 2 hours before removing. Do NOT cut the beef right away. Cover in foil and wait 45 minutes to avoid losing juice. Cut away strings, remove bones, slice roast -- and enjoy while watching another Chiefs victory! (Estimate serving: 2-3 people per rib).

Wow, the Chiefs are back in the Super Bowl! As I watched the last game, I thought about the years and years and years of never getting this far, and how blessed my sons are that they get to live in this sports era. In honor of their AFC Championship and another Super Bowl appearance, I thought you’d want to make Andy Reid’s Prime Rib Recipe. If you decide to make it for your Super Bowl party, send me a picture. Two in a row – Let’s Go!

Bulldogs take a leap in GRC East race Maddi Michael takes action at last Thursday’s dual against Marceline Photo by Macon Schweizer

Bulldogs wrestlers advance while picking up #10 ranking Gallatin's boys blew past host Hamilton, 67-43, to kick off the Hamilton Tournament on Tuesday, and the 14-1 Bulldogs have been awarded the #10 spot in the latest Class 2 basketball poll. Gallatin, seeded #2 in the HIT, is scheduled to face #3 East Buchanan Thursday at 7 p.m. in pool play. A win would advance the Bulldogs to the tournament championship against either

Higginsville or South Harrison on Saturday afternoon. Gallatin's girls fell to East Buchanan, 56-19, on Tuesday and will face Trenton tonight (Wednesday) at 8:15. This will be the third meeting between the Highway 6 rivals. The winner will play either Higginsville or South Harrison in Friday night's consolation final.

Back-to-back victories less than 24 hours apart have propelled Gallatin's boys to within one game of their first GRC East basketball title since the league split into two divisions. South Harrison and Princeton each put up strong challenges in games Friday night and Saturday afternoon and Gallatin vanquished each by a single digit margin to move to 6-0 in the conference. Following the Hamilton Tournament, Gallatin faces a Feb. 2 home meeting with Milan to decide the Eastern Division championship. Milan, 4-0, is two games behind Gallatin in the win column, and 9-4 overall through last weekend. Player Bird J. Stout Vandiver Feiden Shubert D. Stout Hemry

South Harrison in the fourth quarter for a 70-62 win. Princeton fell to the Bulldogs, 58-51, but kept the outcome in doubt from behind the 3-point arc. By the third quarter, the Tigers had accounted for half their 42 points from long range. No second half bucket was bigger for the Bulldogs than Brinley Vandiver's rebound and putback with 1:10 to play that gave his team a 2-possession lead. The Tigers missed a pair of free throw attempts than would have cut the GHS lead back to 2. Isaac Bird notched a pair of charity tosses to give the Bulldogs added breathing room in the closing moments. Player Johnson Bird J. Stout Vandiver Feiden Shubert Hemry

She leaves behind a legacy of handmade Christmas decorations and Kachina dolls for her entire family to remember her for years to come. Betty was extremely versatile and resourceful, working on the farm as a young girl and in her adult life in grocery stores, car dealerships, chiropractic office, school cafeteria cook, activity director, campground manager and more.

In her lifetime she lived in Callao, MO; Gallatin, MO; West Yellowstone, MT; Apache Junction, AZ; Sunrise Beach, MO; and finally, in Freeland Whidbey Island, WA.

A local witness

The crowd began moving toward the Capitol. People tried to file out in order to clear the area in front of the Washington Monument, moving to Pennsylvania Avenue, Constitution Avenue, and Madison Drive. Joyce and Jeff walked along Constitution Avenue, and then to Pennsylvania by 10th street in front of the Department of Justice building, arriving at the George Gordon Meade Memorial about 40 minutes later. They spent another 15 minutes getting pictures of the amassed people across Madison, Constitution and Pennsylvania Avenues in front of the United States Capitol building. “Everybody was in high spirits,” Joyce says. “One guy said, ‘Let’s storm the Capitol!’ and that got a laugh. Everybody thought it was hilarious. Unbeknownst to us, almost two miles away, people were trying to get through the perimeter of the Capitol at about exactly that time.” In fact, by 12:30 p.m. this other crowd of Trump supporters had gathered outside the Capitol, clashing with the police, and pushing forward to the building. Many in law enforcement believe that those really trying to “storm the Capitol” were not part of a protest or riot, but were part of a directed, coordinated attack on the Capitol by extremists, militia and hate groups. These groups operated under the belief that the great mass of people gathered would follow their lead and enter the Capitol behind them. Joyce says the idea that they were there as part of the rally and motivated by the president’s speech is preposterous; he noted seeing some aggitators around the rally, but that they were staying away from the main crowds, and moved to look like a paramilitary group. He, and the vast majority of the crowd, arrived at the Capitol well after the disturbance began. “It was curb to curb for five or six blocks,” he says. “We estimated half a million, maybe a million people.” “Most people were being polite with the police,” he says. “The police were just doing their job.” In front of the Smithsonian African Arts building, three trucks of Homeland Security Officers were waiting to go across an intersection. “A group of guys were looking away from the trucks as they pulled into the intersection, and bumped into the fender of one of the trucks,” Joyce says. “The lead officer in the truck appeared, to me, to pull out in front of them on purpose. All three trucks stopped in a line.” Joyce yelled at the crowd from the sidewalk “Hey, stop! Make a hole, they are trying to cross!” The crowd stopped and the trucks drove across the intersection without further incident. Still chanting “U-S-A” and “Four More Years” the crowd walked further east on Constitution. Joyce and his friend cut north on 10th to Pennsylvania Avenue. On 10th Street in front of the Department of Justice, Joyce noted, “There were 12 to 14 police cars running but not occupied. There were eight or 10 in paramilitary outfits by the gates. They were wearing helmets and carrying assault weapons. There were another 16 or 20 uniformed police milling around.” Joyce stopped to take a picture of the quote over the door of the entrance. It was

says. Joyce assumed that “people were probably going in through doors they weren’t supposed to.”

At 11 a.m. it was time for President Trump to speak. But he didn’t arrive until 50 minutes later. He began talking at about 11:50 a.m. and talked for a little over an hour, ending at around 1:05 p.m. “It was hard to hear,” Joyce says, speaking of the sound system. “Trump began by clarifying the reason we were there. We were going to go peacefully down to the Capitol to let the pro-Trump legislators be bolstered by our support. Then he got into some information about various elections and how there were more votes for him than Biden and his postulations about that. You could hear half a sentence, and then the sound system cut out. It was hard to follow all of the information he was giving. At the conclusion, he said he was going to march with us, and that we would go to the Capitol together.”

At this point, Joyce and his friend were separated. Jeff texted that he was on the east side of the Capitol, opposite of where they had entered, and Joyce started that way. He passed along the far side of the Capitol grounds in front of fenced area on the grass near Northeast Drive where the media had set up cameras. He would later learn that 3:23 p.m. -- DC or Capitol Police block the east entry to Alex Jones had purchased a the Senate Chamber steps. The man below right, standing lamp with a white blow horn on his hip, partially obscured by a Trump ﬂag, is the Q’Anon activist (in Viking costume).

As word slowly spread, most people including families and elderly started to leave, while some were curious to ﬁnd out the circumstances. “There were rally goers there saying guards had let them enter the building. They shot video of the doors opening from the inside to let them in. They said the guards told them they could be there, but not to go anywhere else. Obviously, others went further.” Joyce reported. Joyce and Jeff then went to the front of the Capitol building where not much had changed. People continued to wave ﬂags and chant slogans. Two boom lifts had been left parked nearby for the inauguration. Apparently, the keys had been left in them and people were riding the booms up to take pictures and video. They didn’t

2:34 p.m. -- People had climbed onto the Peace Monument Statue and the crowd was densely packed into the area west of the Capitol building.

3:23 p.m. -- This was the east side of the Capitol. Media set up on the drained fountain area over an underground visitor center and directly behind where the picture was taken showing the Senate stairs.

3:56 p.m. -- Tear gas can be seen near the entrance to the Senate Chamber side door that leads out onto the upper landing. This was also part of the problem with the earlier picture with the police essentially pushing the protesters through the tear gas that was there in order to try and clear it now 2:06 p.m. Quickly Joyce and Jeff came out on Pennsylvania Avenue and joined the crowd headed toward the Capitol. They passed a lady shouting into a bullhorn as she read aloud the First Amendment of the Constitution which was inscribed on the front of the “Newseum Residences.” She read it over and over as the crowd passed by, adding particular emphasis on the phrase “Or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.” Things became more chaotic the closer they got to the Capitol building. Police cars with lights and sirens tried to drive through the crowd, but the crowd was so dense that they could not make room, and the cars had to stop. The crowd let them back up to turn around. All the police cars that Joyce saw on Pennsylvania Avenue were forced to go another direction. “At that point, people were climbing over and onto chairs and bleachers that had been set up for the inauguration by the Capitol Building,” Joyce says. “We could see spotters on the very top of the Capitol building. They were federal agents, no doubt, watching the crowd.” Joyce believes, in hindsight, that it was strange that there were no loudspeaker announcements, no ﬂash bangs, no attempts at crowd control that he could see; he assumed that the Capitol security was focused on the building itself, rather than on the grounds that were typically open to the public. “Later, we did occasionally hear ﬂash bangs up above the north balcony,” he

permit to set up a stage and have a rally. People had come to the east side because Alex had tried to get the crowd to go to the stage on the east side of the building near the Senate Chambers steps, but reportedly the stage had not been set up or taken down, and Joyce couldn’t see any indication of a stage or Alex Jones. “Even at this point, the crowd was more or less jovial, upbeat,” Joyce says. He and the crowd were still mostly unaware of the pockets of clashes with security and conﬂict at various locations in and around the building. Joyce arrived at the back of the Capitol building. There was a police presence on the steps leading up to the Chambers. It was 2:23 p.m. “It was still fairly calm. People were chanting, taking selﬁes, loudspeakers were saying various things. The guy with the horns was outside talking about conspiracies. I was too far away to hear what he was saying. Most everybody was just waiting for Trump to come.” He received a call from his sister in Washington (state) who told him crazy pictures were being shown on the news of people charging around inside the Capitol building. “It was news to me,” Joyce says.

Some 10 or 15 minutes later, Joyce would bump into a guy who said somebody had been shot. “This guy said he was in the room when Babbit was killed,” Joyce says. “I asked him what was going on.” The young man said a group of people were “peacefully” trying to enter the Rotunda. He said they were unarmed, and that she had been shot for no reason, when they came to barricaded doors. Joyce recounted, “A girl tried to go through a window, and they shot her right in front of him.” “I said, ‘But you knew you were wrong, didn’t you?’ He said they were only being patriotic; they couldn’t be bossed around. I was like, you were the aggressor, you pushed through the barricade, you could have had a bomb, a gun, gas. He thought about it and agreed. He didn’t know what to do next. I told him to just go home. I shook his hand and gave him a hug and told him I was glad he wasn’t hurt, and he left.” At this point, word began to spread through the crowd that something had gone down, and someone had been shot.

drive them anywhere. “About then, people started getting notiﬁcations on their phones of a curfew at 6 p.m. The curfew went out at 3:04 p.m. In hindsight, I had to wonder why it was not a more immediate curfew if something was wrong. Nobody really understood what all was wrong.” Joyce said that most people still assumed that it was a precaution to prevent violent clashes with BLM or Antifa after dark, and that made sense since it wasn’t an immediate curfew. When word spread that a girl had been shot and killed, people started clearing out. “People said, ‘Oh, wow, that’s crazy’, and they started to pack up and go.” By 4:19 p.m., police had begun to use tear gas to clear the outer landings on the Capitol Building. Shortly after, Joyce made his way back to the train station, then to his car. He said goodbye to his friend who was ﬂying back to California. Joyce drove home.

Joyce believes Trump could have more strongly condemned the violence, but that most involved were already committed to violence before Trump spoke at the rally. Most of the people at the rally were still at Trump’s speech at the ﬁrst signs of trouble at the Capitol Building. “With anything Trump does, he’s always trying to save face. He’s concerned with his image. He could have come out more strongly, condemned the violence.” “People were at the barricades before Trump’s speech even ended,” he says. “The Capitol was a mile and threequarters away from where Trump gave his speech. And, personally, I didn’t hear anything in his speech that wasn’t typical political rhetoric. What I remember is him saying we would peacefully march to the White House and encourage those who were supporting our cause.” Joyce, a school bus driver for the Gallatin School District, planned, and attended the inauguration as an observer, an eye on the ground …even though the mayor of D.C. asked people to not come to the city. “I think it is disgusting the way the Democrats and the media are vilifying everybody who voted for Trump as violent extremists. The truth is 99.99% of the people that were there are perfectly law abiding, upstanding citizens you can trust your kids with.”
