Quarantine revised

by Cheryl Alexander, Administrator Daviess County Health Dept.

The CDC has a new policy about quarantine. If you have had both of your vaccine shots and it is two weeks past your last shot and you have been exposed to a person positive for COVID-19, you do not need to quarantine at least for 90 days. This is another good reason to vaccinate.

We continue to take names for Phase 1, Tier 2. Unfortunately, we have not entered into Tier 3 yet which will include teachers and some essential workers.

charges of forgery and stealing.

At the sentencing, Browning received a 10-year and a 5-year sentence to be served consecutively, for a total of 15 years, plus two five-year sentences to run concurrently.

Browning has a long history of stealing and forging documents.

Before her arrest for stealing over $60,000 from the City of Coffey in 2018, Browning had similar charges filed against her in 2012 in Daviess County for embezzling money from two separate land title companies where she was employed.

She was arrested in 2012 on two felonies and two misdemeanors of stealing and forgery.

She served five years probation and five days shock jail time on each count and paid restitution.

After an audit by the State Auditor’s Office revealed more than $60,000 missing from the City of Coffey, an investigation ensued, which uncovered more missing funds and forged documents.

Browning forged city meeting minutes to transfer money between accounts.

She also issued numerous unauthorized paychecks to herself and failed to deposit nearly $34,000 worth of utility payments.

She even credited $2,600 to her utility account.

Browning pled guilty on Nov. 9, 2020, to charges of stealing $750 or more, D felony, stealing $25,000 or more, C felony, and two charges of forgery, D felony.

Browning has a restitution docket hearing scheduled for Mar. 10 in Daviess County.

Power outage at Lake Viking About half of Lake Viking lost power at 6:15 a.m. Feb. 16 in an unplanned outage which was isolated to the lake area. The outage was not a rolling blackout, but rather a problem isolated to Lake Viking.

Farmers’ Electric Coop had some trouble tracking down the problem; the outage primarily occurred on the east side of the lake and at the north end.

FEC reported all power had been restored in Daviess County (Gallatin area) by 11:20 a.m. and expressed appreciation to their members and crews.

On Feb. 15, Associated Electric Cooperative, the power supplier for six regional generation and transmission cooperatives and 51 distribution cooperatives, including Farmers’ Electric, asked its member systems to urge consumer members to safely conserve as much electricity as possible.

The key goal for requesting conservation efforts is to prevent the need to implement controlled service interruptions in the event overall electric demand exceeds available generation.

As of Feb. 16, Associated Electric did not plan to implement controlled service interruptions, but the situation is closely monitored, and members will be notified as soon as possible of changes. Please conserve energy as much as you possibly can.

Polo woman faces manslaughter charge after mother’s death

A Polo local was charged with second degree involuntary manslaughter, E felony, following her mother’s death on Nov. 18, 2019.

After a Caldwell County deputy responded to a call in Polo and found Glenda Lana, 66, deceased in her bed, they filed charges against her daughter Rachel Nichols, 42, for involuntary manslaughter. Lana was believed to have had medical conditions that required care. According to a probable cause statement provided

by Sgt Tony Kirkendoll, Nichols assumed responsibility as Lana’s primary caretaker.

Lana reportedly died of malnutrition, cachexia, and emaciation, as she only weighed 26 pounds when she was found.

Nichols has a preliminary hearing scheduled for Feb. 18 in Caldwell county with a new bond amount posted at $5,000.

Reinforce reading habits: Ashcroft awards $6,854 grant to the Daviess County Library Daviess County Library was recently awarded a Summer Library Program Grant of $6,854 by Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft.

The grant will be used to boost reading habits through books and food for children who cannot physically visit the library. The goal is to inspire adults to help children engage in more literary activities through both personal reading and educational “story time” reading to children. However, the Summer Library Program Grant is also meant to sup-

port literacy efforts for all ages.

According to Ashcroft, grants such as this can be used to expand the availability and quality of their Library’s services.

“Missouri’s communities are greatly served by the learning opportunities their libraries offer,” Ashcroft said. “Libraries across the state use these grants to not only help students maintain and improve reading skills over the summer break, but provide educational programs for patrons of all ages.”

Fix for an unemployment goof

by State Rep. J. Eggleston

In the year of COVID, one of the reactions of the federal government was to pour money into states to pay for unemployment claims since the feds knew their shutdowns and restrictions would lead to layoffs and business closures. The feds also encouraged states to get that money spent ASAP. Now we are finding out there were some unintended consequences.

It seems in their rush to approve Missourians’ unemployment claims, the Missouri Department of Labor (DOL) now believes they approved some recipients that were not actually eligible. The DOL director told a House investigative commit-

tee, which I vice-chair, they may have sent out $150 million to applicants that they shouldn’t have.

And now DOL wants the money back, and, by law, are sending notices to recipients to pay up.

The problem is the erroneous payments, which were several thousand dollars per recipient, were made months ago, and the recipients have spent the money on rent, mortgages, food, and utilities. And many of the recipients are secondary public-school employees, like bus drivers, cooks, and substitute teachers.

So, our committee has decided to help these recipients. With bi-partisan committee support, I have filed HB1083 to allow recipients to keep the federal por-

In years past a winter’s blast prompted comments chiding the ‘Snow Birds’ (readers who flew away from this locale for warmer destinations elsewhere). But there’s nothing funny about the weather which has so much of the country in its frigid grip.

tion of the overpayments. If the bill passes, recipients will only need to repay the state portion, and can do that in affordable installment payments.

The federal portion makes up about 80% of the overpayments, and the feds are not asking for that money back, so it is silly for Missouri government to use state resources to recapture money from Missourians only to give it back to Washington DC. We would like to waive the state portion as well, but doing so may require Missouri business owners to pay more into the Unemployment Trust Fund, which would not be fair to them.

If HB1083 passes, recipients who intentionally defrauded the system will still be required to pay back all of the money they received. But for recipients who incorrectly but non-fraudulently received payments, the state portion will be like a no-interest, no-penalty loan, and the federal portion will be a gift.

Because my bill contains an emergency clause, Missourians will see relief as soon as the governor signs the bill instead of at the end of August when most legislation goes into effect.

OPINION

February 17, 2021

The QT on the CCC Whadduyaknow about Gallatin’s CCC Camps during the Great Depression?

To the best of my knowledge, the camp photos you now see on page 3 are being published for the first time. The late George Handley allowed me to make copies of his keepsake photographs although he knew little or no details or identifications other than the camp’s location north of Searcy R-5 Elementary School today.

You can read the “big picture’ about the CCC program on the next page. But drilling down to local details describing Gallatin’s CCC camps remains a bit of a puzzle. Research continues.

One CCC camp operated at Dockery Park. A storm where lightning shocked one of the CCC boys made the news published by this newspaper in 1934. While the news item reported on the boy’s survival, it also offered a glimpse of the camp in general: “The wind did some damage at the camp, totally demolishing two of the 43 tents that are pitched there, and partially destroying five others.”

The CCC program was organized and operated like the military.

There were eligibility requirements, enrollment procedures and allotment quotas. Throughout the country, each camp was organized for 250 young men but a camp was not usually made up of local men. Many campers here came from Oregon and Nebraska.

Consider this news story published June 28, 1934: “Daviess County was allotted a quota of 12 men for enrollment

Since emergency conservation work is a relief measure, the return of allotment money to men in camp would defeat its purpose and therefore this practice is prohibited. Please advise selectees that those who enroll and who receive such money from dependents will be subject to discharge…..”

Insights about the kind of men who enrolled in CCC service are revealed in an intellectual survey conducted by H.T. Willis, educational supervisor of Camp Gallatin. Some of his findings published in June, 1934, are as follows: “There are two groups represented at the present time in company 780 Camp Gallatin. One group consists of men moved here from Oregon, who will leave the company on July 1st.

“About 12% of this group has filled out, without compulsion, a questionnaire showing the following facts: 65% of these boys are from Nebraska, about 25% from Missouri, others from Kansas and Illinois and a few other states. The average age of the group is 22 years, and they come from families in which the average number of children is five.

“As to past occupation, 35% were engaged in farm labor, 12% in clerical work, 10% in building trades, 5% still students, and about 16% either engaged in common labor or never having had gainful employment of a regular nature.

“The educational background of these young men is better than might be supposed, at least as far as years go, though some of the answers given indicate a weakness in our success with good old spelling and arithmetic. All boys had the equivalent of an 8th grade education, 33% were high school graduates, plus 8% who had one year in college and about 6% who had two or more years of education past the high school, counting in night school and correspondence work, both opportunities which many boys are not aware of.

“Among these older group two-thirds were church members and approximately two-thirds have taken part in two or more forms of organized sport.

“Asked to list benefits they have secured from a ‘stretch’ in the CCC, 75% mentioned learning more about constructive work, 35% spoke of improved health; 42% listed better co-operation and tolerance and fellowship while over one-fourth spoke of the importance of financial aid to parents.”

Camp leaders arrived and transferred frequently. Most appear to be lieutenants in rank. Camp leaders continually encouraged local businessmen and educators to supplement camp classroom curriculum. Most CCC Boys were involved in physical labor to complete specific projects. The organization, after all, was like military.

The comings and goings of CCC Boys were regularly reported in this newspaper, an effort penned by campers pursuing a journalism education. The regular column entitled “CCC Notes” frequently included sports coverage on baseball games played between the CCC Boys and teams throughout the area.

The six photos you see on page 3 are selected from 16 shared by the late George Handley for archive. We welcome other comments and photos about Gallatin CCC camps and hope you’ll share.

Taking care of the vulnerable

by State Sen. Dan Hegeman

In my opinion, looking after our most vulnerable citizens is the most important job of state government.

We have been tested as much as we ever have been, since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Through it all, I think our state has survived as well as can be imagined, but we still have challenges to face.

Last week, the Missouri Senate sent House Bill 16 to the governor for his approval. This measure is the supplemental budget for the current fiscal year, which continues through June 30.

The bill would allow the state

one should ever have to face.

The assistance is for the landlords of these rental properties, as well as those who rent, so everybody should be taken care of.

Right now, it is unknown what help could come from the federal government next. Rest assured, there are a lot of us in Missouri who are working with our counterparts everywhere we can, in order to make sure everybody gets a hand when they need it.

I want to see this pandemic end as much as everyone else does, and we are working tirelessly to see to it every option is on the table for every Missourian who needs extra help right now.

Promises made, promises broken

by Congressman Sam Graves

On Jan. 20 millions of Americans watched as Joseph R. Biden was sworn in as the 46th President of the United States.

While the President spoke of unity and healing at the time, his actions since have failed to live up to his lofty words. Instead, we now have another politically motivated impeachment and we’re in the process of getting a hyper partisan $1.9 trillion spending bill rammed down our throats.

The last Administration talked about promises made and promises kept. The hallmark of the first month of the Biden Administration has been promises made, promises broken.

We were promised unity. Instead, we got a partisan spending bill like we’ve never seen before.

It’s a $1.9 trillion monstrosity that’s chock full of handouts and bailouts for special interests, along with a few measly crumbs for American citizens that work for a living.

The bill includes some $350 billion to bail out states that have mismanaged their budgets for decades, and while liberals like to talk about the need to “get shots in arms,” less than 9% of their bill goes towards vaccine distribution.

We were promised President Biden would stand up for American workers. Instead, we got

Offering

to appropriate approximately $325 million to the Missouri Housing Development Commission for rental and utility assistance for low-income households.

This is crucial for a large portion of our population, and something they have been hoping to see for some time.

Low-income households in our state tend to include the elderly and children, two of the most vulnerable groups we see in Missouri. Getting them this assistance should be a big boost, because having to choose between paying rent and eating, or paying rent and buying necessary medication is something no

job-killing executive orders on day one. His edict abruptly cancelling the Keystone XL pipeline has already cost thousands of union jobs and it will hurt millions more American consumers and reduce funding to school districts that stood to benefit from property taxes from the pipeline.

His more recent push to increase the minimum wage to $15 an hour through this spending bill is estimated to cost 1.4 million Americans their jobs. While they can’t pinpoint where those jobs will be lost, it only stands to reason that places with a lower cost of living are going to be hit harder, particularly in rural America.

We were promised the Administration would “follow the science” and return children to schools. Instead, we’re sending billions to schools with a weak promise that President Biden hopes to have 50% of schools open for at least one day per

week within his first 100 days.

That’s in direct conflict with the advice that the CDC has given for schools to reopen safely.

While I’m proud that many school districts across Missouri have already responsibly and safely reopened for in-person education, I’m deeply concerned about the millions of American schoolchildren that haven’t seen the inside of a classroom in over a year.

There’s no silver bullet bill that’s going to save America, but there is one answer that’s proven successful time and again: getting back to the basics.

Instead of an ever-growing government bureaucracy, we need to empower Americans to make their own decisions. We need regular order, real spending bills, and a balanced budget built on bipartisan agreement.

We simply cannot afford more “my way or the highway” governance built on political theatrics.

This shows Gallatin Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) Camp 730 as it stood in 1934. The camp was located west of Olive Street (south of today’s livestock auction barn) and entrance stoneworks can still be seen today on a private driveway along Olive Street. Another CCC camp operated in Dockery Park using tent structures.

‘CCC Boys’ operate Gallatin camp sites during Great Depression The Civilian Conservation Corps (1933-42) was one of the earliest New Deal programs, established to relieve unemployment during the Great Depression by providing national conservation work primarily for young unmarried men. President Franklin Roosevelt established the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) in 1933.

It enabled single men between the ages of 18 and 25 to enlist in work programs to improve America’s public lands, forests, and parks.

Those participating were commonly called “the CCC Boys.”

The CCC camp operated just like the military. The CCC Boys lived in barracks and wore uniforms. The CCC made valuable contributions to forest management, flood control, conservation projects, and the development of state and national parks, forests, and historic sites. In return, the men received the benefits of education and training, a small paycheck, and the dignity of honest work.

The CCC is sometimes confused with another well-known New Deal program, the Public Works Administration (PWA). The PWA was more generally targeted towards cities and towns, although the PWA did complete work in some rural areas as well, such as the construction of the Dekalb County Courthouse erected in 1939 at Maysville, MO, which is still in use today.

The importance of the intangibles of CCC camp life cannot be overstated. Statistically,

most of the enrollees for the CCC were from rural areas where unemployment was often the worst. Nationally, the CCC participants were often uneducated and unskilled. Life in the camps brought tangible benefits to the health, educational level, and employment expectancies of almost three million young Americans while also giving immediate financial aid to their families.

It is estimated, for instance, that about 110,000 illiterate American men located throughout the country were taught to read and write during their CCC days.

these men were scheduled to do soil conservation work. But plans changed to straightening a nearby stretch of the Grand River. Even though the right-of-way for the river was available without cost, landowners had never been able to muster enough money to pay for the expense of digging a channel. Plans to use CCC laborers were proposed, although no documentation confirms this work was actually done.

I

n Missouri most CCC projects were to benefit the state’s park system. Since 12 of Missouri’s 14 parks created during the 1920s were located in the Ozarks, most significant CCC activities during the Great Depression occurred in South Missouri. A total of 342 structures built in the state park system are now listed in the National Register of Historic Places. The work can be found at Arrow Rock, Wash- CCC camps included a rec center for enrollees between work schedules ington, Babler, Sam A. Baker, Bennett Spring, Crowder, Cuivre River, Knob Noster, Lake of the Ozarks, Lewis and Clark, Meramec, Montauk, Pershing, Roaring River and Van Meter state parks.

The level of development achieved in recipient parks depended on the number of 200-man CCC camps and how many “camp periods” (a camp period lasted six months) were active in Drainage ditches and dirtwork were CCC projects a locale. While a park could sometimes receive but one camp for a single camp In another instance, a CCC camp develperiod, and thus benefit from only limit- oped at Albany when Gallatin Camp 730 was ed activity, usually Missouri parks were relocated there because the Gallatin camp was Gallatin’s CCC camp operated just like the military allotted several camp periods, making not built with adequate winter quarters more extensive development possible.

Perhaps you remember the song, “I Love You a Bushel and a Peck.” A peck is a container slightly smaller than a bushel. (8 dry quarts or one-quarter bushel). The tune assumes love is a commodity that can be measured like a sack of wheat or potatoes. We know you cannot measure love that way. Still, the music communicates; it brings good vibes.

If you cannot measure love like you measure a commodity, then how can you measure it? The language of the Bible seems to address this need. The common everyday Greek language of the New Testament had many words for love. The word used regarding Jesus' love was agape. Agape means to love others more than self.

Our English word love and our understanding of it covers everything. A man may say, “I love my truck,” but he may also say, “I love my wife, or I love my children.” We Dr. H. Wade Paris know those are not the same. If the common concept of love is too broad and inadequate, how can it be measured? Let me share a methodology that seems satisfactory.

My friend Al was a good salesman. It seemed he could sell anything.

He and I were discussing how to determine value. He said, “I can tell you how to establish what something is worth. It is worth what you will pay for it. If you want something bad enough to pay a high price, then that is what it is worth.”

That is how you measure love. How much are willing to give for someone you love? How much do you care? When explaining love, Jesus said, “Greater love has no man than this---that a man lay down his life for a friend.”

(John 15:13) Under the right circumstances, I hope I would be willing to die for a friend. However, I have four children; and I would never sacrifice any of them for any friend. Yet, that is what God did for us. He gave the life of His Son, in cruel fashion I might add, for you and me. “God so loved the world that He gave His only Son that you and I might not perish but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16)

Be prepared and stay safe this winter MoDOT has approximately 3,400 employees ready to fight winter weather across the state.

Each winter storm is different, and tools, materials and practices are adjusted accordingly.

During major storms, all available employees work 12hour shifts on snow removal operations. Roads are prioritized based on traffic volume, and interstate highways are always treated first. Lower-volume roads will likely remain somewhat snow covered until highervolume roads are mostly clear.

If you ever find yourself on the road in a snowstorm, remember that snowplows need to have room to work. Never pass a snowplow, and stay back at least six car lengths.

Driving on snowy or icy roads requires special attention to safety. Although it’s impossible to have ideal road conditions 365 days a year, there are certain precautions you can take to make winter driving safer. Here are some tips and suggestions to help drivers get ready for the hazards of winter, provided by MoDOT. During the Trip • If possible, postpone travel until roads have been plowed, treated, and cleared. You don’t want to slide off the road, and we don’t want to plow around disabled vehicles.

• Slow down and adjust speed to the conditions.

• Give snowplows plenty of room, and don’t pass them.

• Bottled water If You’re Trapped in Your Car • Stay in the vehicle. Don’t leave to search for help. It’s easy to become disoriented and lost in blowing and drifting snow.

• Display a trouble sign.

Hang a brightly colored cloth on the antenna.

• Run the engine for about 10 minutes each hour. Run the heater and turn on the dome light only when the vehicle is running.

• Keep the exhaust pipe clear of snow, and open a window slightly for ventilation.

• Clap hands and move your arms and legs occasionally.

Don’t stay in one position for too long.

• If more than one person is in the car, take turns sleeping.

• Huddle together for warmth.

• Use newspapers, maps and even car mats for added insulation.

Remember, every driver can help keep Missouri roads safe by committing four simple actions: buckle up, put the phone down, slow down and never drive while impaired.

• Always wear your seat belt.

• Remember that driving is most dangerous when temperatures are near 32 degrees.

• Watch for other vehicles having problems with road conditions.

• Keep mirrors, windows and lights clean; keep vehicle lights on.

• Don’t pass other vehicles on or near bridges.

• Keep fuel tank at least half full.

• If you don’t feel comfortable driving, pull off of the highway and park at the first safe place.

Equip Your Vehicle With: • A flashlight with extra batteries • A first-aid kit • Necessary medications • Blankets and/or sleeping bags • Extra mittens or gloves, socks, a warm cap and rain gear • A small sack of sand to use for traction under your wheels • A small shovel • Booster cables • Small tools - pliers, wrench, screwdriver • A brightly colored cloth to use as a flag • Nonperishable foods

SCHOOL/SPORTS

Gallatin band members transition to All-District musicians Seven of the eight students who auditioned recently made the All-District Band despite obstacles presented by COVID-19.

After receiving their music back in May, the Gallatin band students have spent numerous hours rehearsing for the All-District band auditions. Three students from the junior high band and four from the high school concert band made the cut.

High school concert band: Morgan Lee, flute, ninth chair; Jordan Donovan, trumpet, second chair and second alternate in honor band; Gabe Hacking, percussion, third chair; and Karina Hacking, percussion, third chair.

Junior high band: Kaylen Sterneker, trombone, first chair; Lyndsey King, percussion, eighth chair; and Lachlan Gibson, percussion, tenth chair.

High school trumpet player Jordan Donovan is also eligible to audition for All-State Band following his try-outs for AllDistrict.

According to proud band director Jack Malo, the auditioning process for this year’s All-Districts Band was “pretty lack-luster” in comparison to prior years. Due to COVID-19,

students had to submit audition videos instead of attending the physical auditions. The students will not have the same experience this year, but they still maintain the same honor and spirit.

“Unfortunately, due to COVID, students that have received the honor of being in the All-District band will not have the wonderful experience of a Saturday clinic and evening performance,” Malo said. “I will applaud the students, because that decision was made early in the fall, and yet these students continued to work on the material. It really shows their devotion to music.”

And just like with this experience, the solo/ensemble festival auditions in March will also be virtual. But the Gallatin Pride Band will persevere and hopefully enjoy the full experience with these yearly musical events next season.

Congratulations to the members who made All-District band. The GPC family applauds each musician for their positivity and devotion and looks forward to hearing more about the band’s achievements as the year progresses.

Eight Bulldogs headed to sectional wrestling round on February 27th Seven GHS boys will join Makayla Rainey in upcoming sectional tournaments held at two different locations.

Rainey, the lone Lady Bulldog qualifier from district competition, will travel to Platte County High School on Saturday for her district event. The Bulldog boys will head to their sectional tournament at Mid-Buchanan High School on Feb. 27. The top 12 wrestlers in each weight class will advance to the state tournament, which will be held this year at the Cable Dahmer Arena in Independence. Leading Bulldog efforts at Saturday's district was junior Rodell Sperry in the 152-pound weight division. Sperry drew a first-round bye and then pinned a pair of opponents to earn the district title.

Three Bulldogs, Luke Johnson, Draven Wright and Logan Bottcher, placed second in their respective weight classes. Johnson, 106, drew a bye and split his next pair of matches. Wright, 145, also drew a first-round bye and split his final two matches.

Bottcher pinned his first two opponents before dropping the title match at 160.

Gage Wright, 182, and Gabe Parker, 285, each placed second in the district tournament.

Wright won his final two matches of the day to qualify for sectional.

Parker also won twice at the end, including an 8-7 decision that secured his third-place finish.

Andon Allen, wrestling at 138 pounds, lost a 6-4 decision, pinned his next opponent, then fell 2-0 to finish fourth, but still a sectional qualifier.

This year's state tournament will be held March 9-13.

Gallatin boys’ bag first GRC hoop title since 2006 Gallatin's revenge for an earlier loss to North Andrew came all that much sweeter Saturday afternoon as the Bulldogs took down the Cardinals, 59-51, to claim their first GRC basketball title in the split-division era and first overall since 2005-06.

Gallatin held the upper hand early but North Andrew, champion of the GRC West Division battled with leading scorer Tanner McDaniel on the bench in foul trouble for much of the contest.

Layton Shubert set the stage for Gallatin's come from behind victory when he nailed back-toback three-pointers, the second of which put the Bulldogs in the lead, 46-45, with 5:07 left to play.

The Bulldogs called a time out with 1:04 on the clock and a 50-49 lead before coming back onto the court to shoot a 2-shot technical foul awarded to the Cardinal bench. Isaac Bird hit

Johnny Stout went 4-for-4 from the charity stripe in the closing moments. Bird added 2 more free throws and Brinley Vandiver closed out scoring with 2 foul shots with 9 ticks on the clock.

The first half was one of ebbs and flows. Gallatin sprinted to a 19-7 lead on the strength of Car-

dinal miscues. North Andrew pulled to within 21-19 with a 12-2 run by the middle of the second quarter. Hayden Ecker notched 3 treys, including an off-balance bomb at the buzzer to give North Andrew a 32-27 half time lead.

CHAPTER THREE Miles and his dad bumped down the dirt road in their old, blue truck. They were running low on gas, but his dad had said that they needed to stop at the right place. Miles wasn’t quite sure what that might mean.

“Dad?” Miles asked. “Did you ever see Rube Foster play?”

Miles’ dad shook his head, glancing at the gas gauge and then glancing at the map.

“No, son, sadly I never did get to see Rube Foster play.

But I have been lucky enough to see a lot of the greats.”

“Like who?”

“I’ve seen the best of the best!” his dad answered.

“Like Josh Gibson.”

“Oh!” Miles declared. “I’ve heard of him! I heard he could hit the ball a whole mile out of the park.”

“I believe it!” Miles’ dad said. “Josh Gibson is one of the greatest players to ever play the game. He plays catcher, but his hitting is what’s made him famous. In fact, there’s a pretty great story about how Gibson got his start.”

Miles watched the cornfields fly past on the sides of the road and turned toward his dad as he began to speak.

“Gibson was just a spectator in the crowd during a game for the Homestead Grays. It was a night game, which was a new thing at the time, and the Grays’ catcher, Buck Ewing, missed a pitch because of the low light. He was injured. Gibson had already made a bit of a name for himself as a hitter in semipro games, so the Grays’ manager just pulled him out of the crowd and subbed him in for Ewing! And that’s how Gibson got started!”

“Wow,” Miles muttered, imagining what it would be like if the Monarchs decided to pull him out of the crowd later that day and he got to hit the home run that won the World Series.

“And the rest is history,” his dad said. “Legend has it, Gibson once hit a ball 580 feet.”

“I can believe that!” Miles said, imagining such a feat.

“How many homeruns has he hit?”

“Well, that’s a bit harder to know,” Miles’ dad answered. “The Negro Leagues may be popular, but players often switch teams and move around a lot of the time. So, statistics have been hard to keep. No one really knows exactly how many home runs Josh Gibson has.

But it’s got to be a formidable number. I’d like to say close to 800!”

Up ahead, Miles saw a run-down gas station. A black man stood near the pumps. He gave their blue truck a small, friendly wave.

“Ah, this is it,” his dad said, glancing down once more at his well-worn map. “This is the place.”

Their blue truck pulled into the station. Miles’ dad hopped out and shook the man’s hand just before the attendant began to pump their truck full of gas.

Miles sat quietly in the cab, snacking on sunflower seeds. A few moments later, his dad slid back into the driver’s seat and pulled onto the country road. They were on their way.

Newspaper Connection: Miles’ dad tells him about some of the great Negro League players. Use your local newspaper to make a list of great athletes in your community, from any or all levels.
