(not (not aa pothole!) pothole!)

Pavement on West Jackson Street in Gallatin bulged upward due to a water main rupture about 1 p.m. on Feb. 2. The road buckled up roughly 10-12 inches in front of Farmer’s Bank of Northern Missouri with water overﬂowing into nearby drainage culverts. Director of Utilities Mark Morey and additional city workers were prompt in response and repairs began immediately. Restoration was completed around 7 p.m. the same night. The road buckled upward at the pavement’s weakest point due to hydraulic pressure from water gushing from the break. According to City Administrator Lance Rains, the water line is decades old and shows signs of fragility due to age.

(SDSS). The SDSS receives approximately 76,000 doses each week and has to take into consideration exactly where those doses will be distributed. Since the Daviess County Health Department is rather small, the department receives a small amount of the vaccine each time. The DCHD cannot store the ultra-cold Pﬁzer vaccine as some of the bigger counties and hospitals can. Vaccination clinics will continue as more doses come in, but the health department would like to remind everyone that they also must schedule a second dose for everyone. Remember

Daviess County Clerk and Chief Budget Ofﬁcer Ronetta Burton presented the Daviess County 2021 Budget Message at the Daviess County Commission meeting held Jan. 27. The clerk’s message gives a preview of valuable information and estimates for Daviess County for the year 2021. This budget message is required by The County Budget Law (RSMo. 50.525 to 50.745). It reads as follows: “The Commission voted in August of 2020 to restore $0.15 of our rolled-back levy which resulted in a total levy of $0.2693 per $100 of valuation. The county has a maximum voted levy of $0.40. This will allow Daviess County to remain in a stable ﬁnancial condition. “In 2021 the county will begin with a total fund balance of $3,569,343.61, have estimated total revenues of $4,936,783.32, and estimated total expenditures of $5,168,909.75. These numbers represent a balanced budget for General Revenue with an estimated budget surplus for 2021 of $87,577.93. The Law Enforcement Sales Tax Fund, Capital Improvements Fund, and Prosecuting Attorney Admin Handling Fund, along with 14 other segregated funds, have budgeted use of $218,793.41 of their individual carryover funds to supplement their 2021 budgets.

200 COVID vaccine doses delivered Daviess County Health Department (DCHD) received 200 doses of Moderna vaccine on Jan. 28 and immediately started setting up appointments for Jan. 29-30. The department will be ﬁnishing the second dose of the ﬁrst health care group next week. There wasn’t much notice before the department knew about the vaccine coming, but their staff orders every Monday hoping for the best. A brief halt has been put on taking names for the list in order to plan for the days needed to vaccinate people. The DCHD formally apologizes for any inconveniences, but it was imperative to make appointments with people. The department has collaborated with the Livingston County Health Center with appointments for Daviess County at a mass vaccination clinic in Livingston County. Staff members from the DCHD will be there Feb. 4 to assist with this effort. Please do not call for this clinic as it is full. The vaccine clinics last week have been completed with hopes to receive more vaccinations soon. The vaccine distribution for the entities wanting the vaccine is determined by the State Department of Senior Services

to please be patient. The health department phone lines are very busy lately, so it may be difﬁcult to reach them. The Daviess County Health department appreciates everyone’s cooperation at this time. Though Cameron Regional Medical Center (CRMC) has not been designated to administer the vaccine to the public, CRMC will help health departments in surrounding counties with the administrations available within the county communities. Fifteen certiﬁed administrators in the area will aid the public through scheduled clinics for the COVID vaccine.

OPINION

February 3, 2021

Time to share A couple of weeks back we focused on some old panorama photos, prompted by an unusual photo of a crowd assembled at the Gallatin CRI&P railroad depot in 1916. Old panorama photos are prompting comments. Elanor (McMahill) Best of Pattonsburg, for instance, has a panorama scene of the dedication of the “Tomb of the Unknown Soldier” taken at Evergreen Cemetery in Osborn, MO, following World War I. The unusual size of the original is measured in feet, not inches. This is another example of panoramic photographs, joining the Daviess County Courthouse and square (1915) and the train depot (1916). How were these antique photos, sharply in focus and of superb quality, made? Paul Behling, who shared the depot photo, points to information provided by the Library of Congress. Panoramic photos are taken by the antique Cirkut camera which moves in an arc from left to right. The people are arranged along a corresponding arc, so that in the finished photograph they will seem to be standing in a straight line. While under the hood, the photographer focuses the picture. Unlike a modern 35-millimeter by Darryl Wilkinson camera, a Cirkut camera has no mirror and prism to reverse the image, and the photographer sees the picture upside-down. The aperture is “stopped down,” to allow only the proper amount of light into the camera. The back of the camera is loaded with film, and the gears are wound so that when the picture is taken, the roll of film and the camera move in perfect sync. When taking a picture so that the photograph is not distorted, subjects featured in the photograph must hold very still to avoid blurred images in the picture. The photographer sets the angle of the arc that the camera will travel and releases the wound gear advancing the film and rotating the camera on the tripod. As the camera rotates it photographs one section at a time until it has exposed the entire length of film. Thus, the Cirkut camera does not take a snapshot. It takes a timed exposure. The Cirkut camera can also deliver other photos where image distortion is acceptable. The 1915 photograph of the Daviess County Courthouse, also showing most of the Gallatin business square, is an example. Obviously, all these buildings cannot be aligned on an arch to match the calibration of the camera’s rotation. But the skill in positioning the camera can still deliver a desirable photograph where images are distorted but interesting in effect. This Cirkut photo is more like a snapshot (few if any motion blurs are evident). As my full retirement from work here nears, I’m spending time updating this newspaper’s photo archives. Folks like Paul and Elanor as well as Johnnie Black and others are greatly appreciated, not just for their interest in local history but for their willingness to share what they have and know with me ...and thus with you. Rather than portraits or pictures of people with no identification, I’m especially interested in scenes showing buildings, events, or landmarks that reveal anything Daviess County at a glance. As space permits, we print old photos in upcoming newspaper editions. Going digital offers great advantages. Each image’s file is named so that titles are easily found by text search. What’s more, information about the scene is embedded in the file so that its description is never separated from the image. Work continues to organize these

Our readers write...

To the Honorable Justices of the U.S. Supreme Court: What have you done? When the critical moment came, when the foundation of our free Republic was under attack, you flinched. Free and uncorrupted elections are the essence of a free Republic. But you feared the out-of-control mobs rioting and burning and killing in our streets, and you did nothing. You, and you alone, held the power and the duty to investigate the dispute between the states brought before you. You could have done it so thoroughly and transparently that the evidence would speak for itself, either to be debunked or upheld according to your impartial findings. You control the space where all sides can be peacefully heard in Constitutional disputes. Yet you took a pass, on the flimsiest of excuses. Make no mistake, you haven’t dodged the bullet. You have just put all of us, the citizens of this United States, in front of it. The “left,” as they are often called, believe the election was tainted when Donald Trump was elected, though they offered little evidence and did not seek a Supreme Court hearing. The “conservatives,” as they are often called, believe the election of Joe Biden was fraudulent, and they have produced a mountain of evidence (though much of it suppressed by the censoring online and social media giants) that, with the lack of an honest and transparent hearing by an impartial forum, stand as truth in the minds of much of the American citizenry. This near-universal lack of confidence in free and honest elections is the greatest danger we have ever faced, for no government can long exist in peace when the people are not protected in the rights and confirmed in the duties established by the U.S. Constitution. Already we are entering an era of vengeance: Censorship of free speech; loss of employment and business shutdowns based on political or religious views; threats to the lives and safety of families of those who dare to exercise their right to speak out. Will you still persist in putting your collective heads in the sand, or will you muster the courage to do your duty with honor and allegiance to the Constitution you are sworn to defend? If only it’s not too little, too late. Lucille Lusk, Winston

Improving foster care support

by State Rep. J. Eggleston

One of the key objectives of the Missouri House in the 2021 session is to improve support for families willing to adopt children or host foster children. That objective got one step closer to being met as this week the House passed HB 429 and HB 430. HB 429 was passed by the unanimous vote of 149-0. That bill authorizes an income tax deduction for Missouri taxpayers for the expenses related to providing care as a foster parent. The bill would authorize a deduction of $2,500 for an individual and $5,000 for a married couple if foster care is provided for at least six months. The deduction is pro-rated if care is given for

less than six months. HB 430 was passed by the unanimous vote of 155-0. That bill expands the state’s existing $10,000 tax credit to the adoption of any child. Currently, the credit applies only to Missouri taxpayers who adopt special needs children. The legislation would continue to give priority to special needs adoptions. The credit would also go to taxpayers who adopt an individual who is 18 years of age or older but is physically or mentally incapable of caring for himself or herself. Speaker of the House Rob Vescovo, who was adopted as a child, said, “I want to thank my colleagues for giving their over-

whelming bipartisan support to these pieces of legislation that can help offset a portion of the signiﬁcant cost associated with fostering and adopting vulnerable young people. “This is a change that can and will encourage more families to open their homes to kids who need and deserve a stable, nurturing environment. As someone who was given a better life by my adoptive parents, I want to see all children have these same opportunities to grow into healthy, productive adults.” Now that they have been approved by the House of Representatives, the two bills now move to the Missouri Senate for consideration.

Improving river infrastructure

by Congressman Sam Graves

The Mississippi River is more than just a river. The waterway connects North Missouri and the Midwest to the rest of America and the rest of the world. It’s estimated that roughly 60% of all grain that American farmers export is shipped down the Mississippi River. It isn’t just a one-way street though; we also depend on the river to get fertilizer to the field. Nor is it just important for those of us that farm for a living, we all rely on the oil, gas, and coal shipments that regularly travel by barge. That said, the Army Corps of Engineers’ new Work Plan includes a big win for North Missouri and the entire Midwest. The Corps will be investing almost $96.5 million dollars in dredging and other improvements to the Upper Mississippi River’s navigation channel. That’s nearly double what the Corps spent on the navigation channel last year. This is huge news because it makes it easier and more efficient for barge traffic to carry goods up and down the river. Better yet, by making peoples’ lives and livelihoods the top priority like this, these investments will continue to pay big dividends for years to come. The Mississippi River supports hundreds of thousands of good-paying American jobs throughout the Midwest and hundreds of billions of dollars worth of economic activity. That’s big not only for North Missouri and

the Midwest, but for our entire country. Making investments that prioritize people and property should serve as a roadmap for how we can better manage the rest of our nation’s waterways, including the Missouri River. The Corps of Engineers included money in their plan to study how to improve navigation on the Missouri River, which is a step in the right direction, but we’ve got to make the necessary repairs and improvements to the Missouri River’s navigation channel sooner rather than later. Not doing so affects our communities and leaves a lot of money and jobs on the table. The Missouri River can be a huge economic driver as well, but only if the Corps takes the necessary steps to make it happen.

As I’ve said before, infrastructure, particularly for facilitating interstate and international trade of American-made products, is one of the things the federal government ought to be doing and ought to be doing well. These much-needed improvements to the Upper Mississippi River’s navigation channel are a huge step forward, but we’ve still got a lot of work to do to ﬁx our aging infrastructure — repairing roadways, replacing bridges, and yes, ﬁxing the Missouri River navigation channel as well. The good news is that with these improvements to the Mississippi River, the repairs we’ve been making to our roadways, the replacement of hundreds of aging bridges across Missouri, and other smart investments in our infrastructure, we’re making good progress.

(continued from page 2) old photos into galleries – hopefully organizing “chaos” into meaningful presentations. There are over 2,250 digital photos in our historical archive to date – but there’s only one way to find out if your old photograph is unique. Ask! Currently I’m researching what I can find about the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC). In 1934 a CCC camp was erected in Gallatin south of the livestock auction barn. The late George Handley (remember when George ran a restaurant across the street from our old newspaper office on North Main?) shared 16 photos now in our digital archive. I’ve never seen others like these; I wonder if other local photos of Gallatin’s CCC camp exist. If you have an unusual or photo, why not share? We simply take a digital photo of your original while you wait. That way your keepsake remains securely in your possession while allowing a copy to be presented for viewing by others. Won’t you share? I suspect it’s less a matter of selfishness and more the challenge of remembering where that old photo treasure is stored. All I know is that I’ve intended to organize and update the photo archive here for years and more or less procrasti-

nated until recently. Retirement has a way of putting things in perspective. So, as for me before my time here runs out, it’s time to share.

ditures are in line with previous budgets. “Daviess County’s assessed valuations grew 2.8% in 2020 with a real estate valuation of $107,554,851 and a personal property valuation of $37,054,250. “There was $2,814,633 in new real estate construction reported by the Assessor. “Tax levies for 2020 were as follows: General Revenue $0.2693, Senior Services - $0.0498, and County Disabilities (SB 40) $0.0922. Sales tax revenue in 2020 was up 23% and use tax revenue was up 39% due to more local and online purchasing. “The Commission will continue to repair and maintain our beautiful historic courthouse with plans in 2021 to continue the sealing project for the outside of the courthouse, repair and repaint the interior walls on the north side of the building, and to

continue with plans to upgrade the heating and air conditioning as soon as funds will allow. “In 2020 the County continued to rebuild from the substantial losses suffered in 2019 flooding. Many bridges and culverts have been replaced and repaired, including a complete rebuild and expansion of a bridge on Jump Avenue in Jamesport Township, and relocation of a portion of Saber Road in Union Township. Federal and State disaster funds were aggressively sought and were finally received to cover 75% of the county’s losses. “Again this year the Commission did not approve a Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA), however, they did allow Office Holders to adjust some full-time hourly employees to make wages more equitable across the board, and to continue to remain competitive in the market. “Insurance costs remained stable this year, and the Commission continued with requiring employees to pay $31 each

month of their health insurance cost. The County reduced their offering to two plans, while maintaining additional coverage for vision and dental plans available for employee purchase. “As always, it is the main goal of the Commission to monitor revenue and spending for all funds, and to be conscientious oversight for the taxpayers’ money. They also endeavor to repair, maintain and preserve the physical and historical integrity of the county’s buildings. “This, along with the Elected Officials working together to cut costs, while still providing necessary services, with excellent customer service is what makes Daviess County a great place to live, work, and raise a family. “Daviess County remains in stable financial condition with General Revenue reserves for 2021.” Gallatin North Missourian: FREE online access with your paid print subscription.

State budget points to improvements

despite COVID strain by State Sen. Dan Hegeman

Each year, the governor delivers his legislative agenda to the Legislature in what is commonly referred to as the State of the State. In his yearly speech, he lets lawmakers know what his priorities are, and where he would like to see our state either by the middle of May — the end of the regular legislative session — or by the same time the following year. The message in the address was clear, Missouri has done a fairly good job of keeping ahead of the pandemic from a budgetary point of view. Fortunately, this translates into the possibility of our state making some muchneeded improvements to infrastructure, which includes parts of Northwest Missouri. Broadband Internet expansion has proven to be a necessity, because of the pandemic, and I am happy to see the focus turn to rural Missouri and those improvements aimed not at luxuries, but absolute necessities in the 21st century.

THANK A FARMER

Thank a Farmer week is January 31 - February 6, 2021

How you can support your local farmers The global pandemic that has upended daily life has exacted a toll on many industries. Businesses have been asked to close or temporarily scale back operations, while organizers of recreational gatherings have been tasked with reevaluating the practicality and safety of annual events. Throughout the United States and Canada, autumn fairs, exhibitions and activities provide revenue for many people. But due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 virus, many of these annual events have been postponed, adversely affecting local agricultural industries as a result. Governments in certain places have responded to the cancellations and offered assistance to local farmers and agricultural industries. For example, the Province of Ontario is providing nearly $1 million to assist organizations that had to cancel fall events due to the coronavirus pandemic. In addition to supporting such efforts, the general public can pitch in to help offset some of the financial losses accrued by local farms. · Check for virtual events. Some fall fairs or livestock events have been moved to the digital realm. That means competitors who were entering livestock or even home crafts into competitions can still participate. Organizers may ask for videos or photos of entries and then a committee will vote on the winners. This is one way to keep entry fees and even cash prizes moving along. · Support local farms or orchards. Fall is harvest season in many areas, making this a popular time of year to visit nearby farms and to purchase fruits

THANK YOU! We appreciate all your hard work and dedication! From all of us here at the Gallatin Publishing Company

and vegetables directly from the source. Many farms have implemented safety protocols that align with COVID-19 health recommendations to safely welcome visitors. Things may look a little differently at orchards and farms, but smaller crowds and wearing masks should not compromise the fun of picking your own foods. · Explore farm-to-table. Private individuals as well as restaurant owners can develop relationships with area agriculture producers to increase the availability of farm-to-table offerings. Restaurants can revamp menus to include a greater share of items sourced from nearby farms. Individuals also can rely on produce stands and farmers’ markets to stock their pantries. Some farms may offer

delivery and mail-order as well. · Offer financial services. Financial advisors can help farmers who are struggling with finances work through their options. Institutions may be able to extend the terms of loan repayments, refinance loans, restructure debt, or get credit extensions. Lower interest rates have created some new opportunities farmers may not be aware of. Financial advisors can help farmers navigate an uncertain financial time. Farmers and agricultural organizations are facing greater challenges as fall fairs and other events are being canceled. The public can support agriculture in different ways to offset the financial losses stemming from the pandemic.

Survey coming to Gallatin residents

Daviess County welcomes new Deputy

Daviess County Sheriff’s Department welcomed new Deputy Sheriff Riley Christensen as he was sworn in on Jan. 29. Christensen was sworn in as Deputy Sheriff at the age of 21. Prior to being sworn in as Deputy Sheriff, Christensen assisted on his family’s local farm in Daviess County.Deputy Christensen was a former student at Winston High School. He was an honor roll student and athlete. This Redbird alumni now helps keep the Daviess County community safe.

Polo shooting results in one fatality Lawson suspect Kevin Barnett, 35, was taken into custody after the fatal shooting of a 35-year-old woman in Polo and a “lengthy” manhunt. Responding deputies found a woman wounded after reports of multiple shots fired into an intersection after 10:10 a.m. on Jan. 27. The victim later died from her gunshot wound. According to the Caldwell County Sheriff’s Office, a witness stated they saw an armed man run into a nearby wooded area, where a “lengthy” manhunt later ensued. Several law enforcement agencies aided in the search, including Tri-County Regional SWAT Team, Canadian Pacific Railroad Police Department, Missouri Department of Conservation, Missouri Highway Patrol, Polo Police De-

partment, and Clinton County Sheriff’s Office. Polo Police Chief Jonathan Abbott reported the suspect Barnett was later taken into custody. No other details have been released as active investigation continues.

No cost share sign up by SWCD

Daviess County Soil & Water Conservation District will not hold the annual February costshare sign-up due to COVID-19. The District Board of Supervisors will decide this summer at a scheduled board meeting when the next cost-share signup will be held. At this time, there is no estimate on when the front doors will be unlocked. If you have questions, please call the office at 660-663-3703.

City Administrator Lance Rains reports that 375 Low to Moderate Income Surveys will be mailed to Gallatin residents for completion. If 51% of more than 300 of the returned surveys are considered Low to Moderate Income (153 considered LMI at a minimum), the city may qualify for grants from Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) to repair the roads. The survey is good for four years after completion with the goal to begin the street project in a year’s time. “We’ve already got the financing in place for the cash match,” Rains stated. “We will use $75,000 of our budgeted $145,000 as a payment for a sixyear loan that would net Gallatin around $560,000 of cash match. We would use that cash match in our grant application that would get us $500,000.00 in CDBG grant funding for a total project around $1,000,000.00.” The suggested streets at the top of the list are W. Grand St., Corrine St., Berry St., and Burns St. These do not include currently arranged repairs and seals. More information to come.

Touchdown Totchos! ● 2 lbs. frozen tater tots ● 1/8 tspn. cayenne ● 1 tspn. chili powder ● 1-1/2 cup ﬁnely grated ● 1/2 tspn. ground cumin extra-sharp Cheddar ● 1/2 tspn. ground coriander cheese Toss tots with chili powder, cumin, coriander, and cayenne. Heat air fryer to 400 degrees. Arrange tots in single layer in air fryer basket and cook 20 minutes. (Note: To convert an oven-cooked recipe to an air-fryer one, the general rule of thumb is to reduce the suggested temperature by 25°F and then cut the cook time by about 20%.) Transfer half of tots to small platter and sprinkle with half of Cheddar. Top with remaining tots and cheese, then cover loosely with aluminum foil for about 30 seconds to melt cheese. Serve immediately.

It’s Super Bowl Week -- can you believe the Kansas City Chiefs are in it again? I keep telling my boys how blessed they are to be a Chiefs fan during this time in history: Back-to-back appearances! I want to do everything I can to avoid jinxing the Chiefs, so in keeping with last year’s championship season, here’s another appetizer recipe. My family loves nachos and tater tots, so why not combine the two with “Totchos!” I want the Chiefs to win, obviously, but I also want to enjoy the game, the commercials, and the time shared with family. Wherever you watch, may the food be good and the friendship be great …but please, please, stay safe.

CHIEFS!

The Kansas City Chiefs might find it difficult to beat New England for the second time this season, but one thing was certain at Thursday's HIT. Trenton's Lady Bulldogs found it impossible to hang with Gallatin in their third go-around of the season. The GHS girls put it all together and dominated their THS counterparts, moving in the consolation final with a 5428 victory. The Lady Bulldogs also spread the wealth during their season-high scoring output. Presley Wells came up big at the foul line, converting 9 of 10 tries.

GHS boys come up short against Class 3, #8 Higginsville Gallatin's boys battled to the final horn but the Class 2, #10 ranked Bulldogs could not overcome adversity in a 72-66 loss to Class 3, #8 ranked Higginsville on Saturday. The championship game of the Hamilton Tournament fea-

tured two once-beaten teams, each looking to add their second tourney title of the season. Gallatin fell behind early and struggled with turnovers (18) and a potent Husker transitionstyle offense. Higginsville led, 37-31, at the break but the Huskers led by as many as 9 in the third quarter before Isaac Bird hit a runner off a steal to close the gap to 46-41. Bird would pick up his fourth foul with 14 seconds to play in the third and went to the bench for half of the final period. A Brinley Vandiver bucket off a Bird lob cut the lead to 67-62 but the Huskers would close out their victory at the foul line. Player Bird J. Stout Vandiver Feiden Hemry

Nelson cases transferred; trial arranged for 2022

Health Department stands ready to vaccinate

Garland Nelson, charged for the murder and body disposal of two Wisconsin brothers, has a three-week jury trial set to take place starting Feb. 7, 2022, with a pre-trial conference arranged for Dec. 7 this year. The remains of the two brothers who went missing in July 2019 were discovered November 2019. The brothers were on a trip to collect money from cattle customer Garland Nelson, who allegedly killed and disposed of their bodies. Nelson admitted to disposing of their bodies but denied the murders. Nelson was charged with two counts first degree murder, two counts of abandonment of a corpse, tampering with evidence in a felony prosecution, armed criminal action, and un-

lawful possession of a firearm for this case. After Nelson’s attorneys appeared in Johnson County Circuit Court earlier this month, the trial was set for Feb. 7, 2022, despite the objection by Nelson. Nelson had a hearing for a separate case earlier this month for the felony charge of stealing a motor vehicle, and unlawful possession of a firearm. This case has been continued for a motion hearing to Feb. 17. Due to a change of venue as requested by Nelson’s legal team, both cases were transferred from Caldwell County to Johnson County. The murders case was transferred in September 2020 and the theft case was transferred January this year.

(Through 2/1)

Services, activities continue at area churches Gallatin First Baptist On Feb. 7 Pastor Daniel Pelichowski will lead morning worship and present a message “The Savior Baptized” from Matthew 3. Online Live-Stream option will be available. Due to low attendance and not enough help, we have made the difficult decision to call off Pioneer Club for the remainder of the school year. We hope to be back in the fall. REACH Youth will meet each Wednesday in Feb. from 5:30 p.m. – 7:30 p.m. Choir practice is at 7:30 p.m. First Christian Church On Jan. 31, announcements and opening prayer were given by Stacey Maxwell; Troy Elbert gave the scripture reading. Emily Miller gave the children’s message. Pastor Kyle Taft’s message, “Mission Drift,” was based on Luke 41-13. Youth grades 7-12 had Bible study Sunday evening.

son at our church Sunday, Feb. 7. Masks and social distancing are requested. Everyone is encouraged to bring cans of soup for donation. Lake Viking Church Johnny Brown, Worship Leader, began the service by leading the congregation in singing “What a Mighty God We Serve.” A time for joys and concerns was followed by the opening prayer. “Stand up, Stand Up for Jesus” was sung by the congregation. The special music was sung by Barbara Drager and Christy Douglas. Pastor Robert Nelson’s sermon title was “He will guide you into all truth.” The main scripture was from John 16:1-16. The service closed with the singing of “Draw Me Nearer.” The song was followed by a closing prayer and a time for fellowship. Olive Baptist Church Brother David’s morning message was “The Rich Man and the Beggar” from Luke 16. This coming week we will have our monthly business meeting after the morning worship. Our food pantry is open to anyone in need. Please contact Brother David Leeper to donate food or if you or someone you know is in need. Seventh-Day Adventist Church Service began with singing the hymns “Power in the Blood,” “I’d Rather Have Jesus,” and “Open My eyes That I May See” with Betty Ewards on the piano. Singing our new theme hymn “Every Moment of Every Day” concluded this ses-

sion. Betty also led our prayers and praises with updates on progress of prayers, and our Bible Study courses through the mail. Vivian Hunsucker introduced lesson 5: “Noble Prince of Peace” – memory text from Isaiah 9:6. In the days of Isaiah, God promised his people salvation from the oppression that was coming upon them as a result of national apostasy. This prophecy of hope finds its ultimate fulfillment in Jesus. Pastor Carl Haffner’s video entitled “Cures for the Christian” a series stressing love and compassion for all. With today’s current events, we need this message. United Methodist Church Pastor Brad Dush opened the service with prayer as Sue played the prelude and Kendra lit the altar candles. Pastor Brad’s sermon was “Anyone Up There? – Victory!” A contemplative prayer special was played by Sue.

Recycle COVID-19 items

Senior at Pattonsburg R2 school district Lillian Carter created a sculpture for an “Upcycled Materials” art project to address the new forms of pollution presented from the COVID-19 pandemic. After the Art 2 class researched artists using wasted materials to create artwork, the students were instructed to make sculptures using only materials that would be tossed in a landfill, discarded in a ditch, or transferred to a recycling service. The project presented an

opportunity for Lillian Carter to address the forms of pollution during COVID-19, such as disposable gloves and masks. “I decided that my sculpture would be about COVID-19 because it has had a great impact on our lives,” Carter wrote on her sculpture description. “We have had to completely change the way we live . . . if using a disposable mask, cut the ear loops off before disposing it. Just by doing that, you help a lot of animals. So, remember the 3 R’s: Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle!”

Christian Church —

9:30 a.m.

As I write this on Inauguration Day, I am reminded that Christians, thus the Church, are called to be wholly different, radically different, a royal priesthood, a holy nation. Those descriptors do not indicate any kind of wielding of power except through love, servanthood, and obedience to counter-cultural Biblical behavior. God has not left us alone in the world. He has given us a sacred text, the Bible, that is completely trustworthy and sufficient for all of life. The Holy Spirit indwells us, illuminating that text, and enabling us to obey what God has said in it. You personally may be thrilled with the transfer of power that will take place later today in the U.S.A. You may personally be horrified with that same transfer of power. If you cannot find a politician who disgusts you, you have not been paying attention. May I simply remind you that your feelings are inconsequential? You have been given a clear word from the Lord. You are called to oppose all ungodly policies. You are called to obey the authorities over you except when they require you to sin. We have a very clear command in 1 Timothy 2:1-8, First of all, then, I urge that entreaties and prayers, petitions and thanksgivings, be made on behalf of all men, 2 for kings and all who are in authority, so that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity. 3 This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, 4 who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, 6 who gave Himself as a ransom for all, the testimony given at the proper time. 7 For this I was appointed a preacher and an apostle (I am telling the truth, I am not lying) as a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth. 8 Therefore I want the men in every place to pray, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and dissension. (NASU) If you have problems with this paragraph, take it up with the Author. You and I are called to put aside our personal feelings, wants, likes, and dislikes and obey the Lord. May I remind you that, Paul wrote these instructions while in prison, or right after being released from prison. Also, he had to at least figure that he would soon be imprisoned again, and yes it did happen. Furthermore, the authority over Paul during this time was Nero, and that fact needs no explanation. You and I must live to please God, who can kill the body and cast the soul into hell. Shall we ignore His clear command, while realizing that we will stand in front of His throne and give an account for even every idle word we have spoken. Uh oh! We seem to miss the fact that the “bookends” around this passage are about the one offering the prayers is thus commanded and enabled to pray without wrath and dissension, and to lead a tranquil, quiet life in all godliness and dignity. This ought to be way at the top of our priorities in this trying time. Pray that you would live such a godly and dignified life. Pray that all humans would repent of sin and trust God. Pray that all humans would come to the knowledge of the truth. Pray that all humans would recognize By this shall all men Jesus the Christ as the “ransom for all” and the “one know that ye are my mediator between humans disciples, if ye have love and God”. Your godly and dignified life would be an aid one to another. in the other things coming to John 13:35 pass.

These sponsors encourage you to worship God wherever you are, whatever your circumstances:
