No charges against deputy involved in recent Livingston County shooting

Delivery ends in disaster in alley behind Barton’s

At approximately 2:30 p.m. on Feb. 25, a semitruck turned into the alley behind Barton’s Hardware and Elbert’s Department Store and hit a telephone pole. The pole wedged between the semi’s cab and the drive wheels. The driver was new and didn’t have experience with entering that speciﬁc alley for deliveries. City crews responded immediately to replace

the pole. The line on that pole is primarily an electrical carrier and a three phase. That alley also has ﬁber, phone lines, cable lines, electric, sewer, gas, and water lines running down it, which is why the city crews had to be cautious while trying to place the pole in the same spot it was in before the incident. Work crews successfully completed the replacement around 8 p.m.

There will be no charges against the Livingston County deputy who was involved in the shooting of a Marceline man, Timothy Frandson. In last week’s issue, it was reported that the deputy tried to assist Frandson after a one-vehicle crash when things turned violent. Frandson attacked the deputy, and the deputy used his weapon. Frandson was pronounced dead when help arrived. The ofﬁcer, now identiﬁed as Deputy Jordan Williams, was treated at an area hospital for a broken nose and eye laceration.

The Livingston County Prosecuting Attorney made a post on Facebook regarding this verdict. The post read: “After I read the reports, viewed scene photographs, heard dispatch recordings and listened to the Troopers’ analysis of all evidence gathered by the Missouri State Highway Patrol, I have no doubt that the use of force by Deputy Jordan Williams of the Livingston County Sheriff ’s Department on Friday, Feb. 19, 2021, was lawful and justiﬁed.”

City’s water usage exceeding 50,000 gallons over daily average With Gallatin’s water production running 50,000 gallons over the daily average, the city board held a discussion on next steps at their Feb. 22 meeting. Public Works Director Mark Morey stated that the water plant is running nearly 13 hours daily as opposed to their normal 8 hours. Morey has reached out to Public Water Supply District (PWSD) No. 2 with concerns about the increased usage. Morey expects that the city crews will ﬁnd more water leaks or busted meters in the coming weeks. Last week the crews repaired a water main break on West Van Buren. The break caused over 300,000 gallons of water loss. They reportedly had to get through over 18 inches of frost under the street before they could make necessary repairs. Through the cold weather spurts, crews have had to thaw and/or replace around a dozen water meters. The city reviewed updates given on the

water plant concerning pipes from backwash basins to the lime sludge basins. In the previous week, these pipes have backed up, frozen, and pulled apart. Ross Construction and Snyder’s Engineering were contacted, and crews have made short-term repairs to allow continued backwashing until more permanent repairs can be made. The pipes will need to be rebuilt and modiﬁcations made to the pipelines to avoid future freezing issues. The repairs are not expected to disturb water distribution. Discussion was held regarding commercial vs. residential electric rates. A motion was made to clarify that any business outside of a commercially zoned area that is required to possess a valid business license will be required to pay a commercial electric rate for their property that is used for their business. Additionally, customers fed through a three-phase electrical service that are using the property for

residential use only will be charged at a residential rate. The motion passed 4-0. Chief Richards provided an incident report list dated 2-22-2021 for the board to review: four animal control, two lockout, three animal problem, 15 welfare checks, four medical assist, one trespassing, one theft, one intoxicated person, two fraud, two suspicious person, and one warrant arrest. There is one dog in the pound. Discussion was held on customers within the city limits that have the ability to hook up to sewer, but haven’t hooked up to the service. The board agreed all residents are required to pay for sewer usage going forward per Section 710.030 which was adopted in 2004. The board discussed estimated street resurfacing bids. Morey will contact a contractor for more clariﬁcation on the estimated tons of usage before the next meeting. There is $145,000 in the 2021 budget for these renovations.

Green Hills has 95 surveys out of the 375 total LMI surveys that were mailed. Bills totalling in the amount of $18,975.34 were approved for payment. Morey and City Administrator Lance Rains talked to an engineer about reengineering the 2400 system. They will need to purchase and install new poles and transformers, but some of the wire can be salvaged. Rains expects to have the results of the electrical rate study from Toth Engineering in 30-45 days. Rains and Police Chief Mark Richards recently took a tour of the Medical Marijuana Dispensary and reported on the building’s security. A brief discussion was held regarding the cupola building. Rains will contact the women that host Chautauqua to see if they have plans for the building. The above are the unapproved minutes of the City of Gallatin regular public meeting held Feb. 22 at city hall.

Confusing numbers

It’s past embarrassing. It ain’t fair. Old greyheads like me and the missus get a senior discount while the young father gets no discount at all. And he’s trying to ignore the four little wigglies his wife works to corral into the booth next to our café table. That’s six mouths for that young fella to feed while us greyheads get the discount. Been there, done that. But it just ain’t fair. There’s a $1,400 stimulus check that Biden wants to send out to every household regardless of COVID’s specific grip. That includes $1,400 to couples who file jointly for up to $150,000 a year, whether they need it or not. I’m already taking a Social Security check and feel kinda guilty about taking another $1,400 when there are so many with needs so much more than I have. It just doesn’t seem fair. Numbers are confusing. Trickle-down economics is usually discussed with tax cuts ...when so much of our country’s infrastructure is in shambles. Tax cuts when our national debt spirals. Tax cuts as the gap between rich and poor widens. Go figure. Nowadays, some balk on $15 an hour minimum wages for the common man — and, yes, I know what that means for small business owners (because I-R-one). But doesn’t it make sense for honest work for a day’s wages to total significantly higher than a welfare check? Between discounts and product rebates, COVID stimulus, taxes, and welfare checks (including Social Security), I can’t understand what’s going on. Being the richest country in the world takes a lot of money, and a trillion just doesn’t go as far as it used to – esby Darryl Wilkinson pecially when the government just churns out more and more paper money. What is a trillion, anyways? Numbers confuse me; things don’t make sense. I guess that makes me eligible to run for the legislature. Remember the good ol’ days when all you heard from the Republicans was about a tax cut? When that notion flies again, the solution is simple: let the Democrats choose to not have their taxes cut and the Republicans go ahead and take their share.” Likewise, Democrats are all about spending our way back to prosperity. Fair enough. So, let’s just divvy up the national debt so that only Democrats pay the bill … uh, and that’d be AFTER we change the law so that there’s no longer any “Too Big To Fail” giveaways. But I digress. How you gonna spend your $1,400? My good neighbor says $1,400 doesn’t amount to a hill of beans. I understand this is merely a figure of speech … unless you take it literally. With $1,400, how many days can you buy a can of beans if you buy one can a day? Pondering that makes a guy wonder what’s for supper. When I ask, she casts that blank look which usually means she ain’t cookin’ and there’s no leftovers in the fridge. Her frown that follows means, “Why do you always think with your stomach?” But she politely says, “Let’s keep politics off the menu.” After years of experience, I translate this to mean “Continue the conversation and you’ll be eating a frozen pizza by yourself tonight.” And she means it. But I like living on the edge. So, still thinkin’ about that hill of beans, I venture a suggestion about supper: “Ham and beans?” She mutters something about no frozen pizza left in the freezer, then shifts gears. “If it’s American to spend $1,400 before it gets here,” she says, “then don’t worry about it. I’ll take care of it.” Her smile says she’s not sweatin’ the details. Numbers confuse me. Ignorance is bliss. Practicing marriage these past 46 years, I’ve learned it’s better to end our conversations with her smile rather than with a mutter. But, no, I just couldn’t leave well enough alone and, as if I were accusing her of being a Democrat, I blurted out: “You’ve already got it spent?” She paused. Then, as if pronouncing some dramatic compromise, she said: “I’m as red-blooded an American as the next woman … we’ll figure out what happened to the $1,400 we’ve yet to receive later.” And, truth be told, I felt relieved. Before I could say anything more, she handed me a nice, new cloth face mask and the car keys and said, “Let’s go get something to eat.”

Off the Editor’s Spike...

Full Disclosure: Liz gets the ﬁrst preview to my ramblings, and she recommends I admit to having a very vivid imagination about conversations that really occur only in my head. And thinkin’ ahead to supper tonight, I say: “Yes ‘m.”

Reinstating voter photo ID

by State Rep. J. Eggleston

The Missouri House has approved legislation that would reinstate a voter ID requirement that was struck down by the Missouri Supreme Court last year. When they go to vote, Missourians will need to present a photo ID, but the bill will also allow people without a photo ID to cast a provisional ballot. The bill’s sponsor Rep. John Simmons (R) said, “This bill is a necessity as a response to the Missouri Supreme Court judgment in a case in January 2020 called Priorities USA that utterly and wholly gutted the intent and practicality of the statute.” The legislature approved a

voter ID bill in 2016 that required a photo ID at the polling place, but also allowed those without a photo ID to vote by provisional ballot or by signing an affidavit stating they don’t have a form of personal identification approved for voting. The bill approved by the legislature was contingent upon the passage of a constitutional amendment, which 63 percent of Missourians supported. The Missouri Supreme Court in January 2020 then struck down the affidavit provision saying it was contradictory and misleading. The removal of the affidavit requirement prevented the legislation from effectively impacting

voter identification procedures. The bill approved by the House this week removes the affidavit language that was struck down, and it will allow voters without an ID to vote by provisional ballot. In order for the provisional ballot to be counted, election officials would have to verify the voter’s signature based on voter records, or the voter would need to return later that day with a valid photo ID. “Preventing fraud so legal votes of our constituents are not disenfranchised by allowing in-person fraudulent votes to be cast illegally is the main focus of this bill,” said the bill’s sponsor.

Private Property vs Right to Protest By State Sen. Dan Hegeman

The Missouri Senate spent a great deal of time discussing a measure this week that comes in response to some of the protests and other activity we have seen over the past year, despite the fact the goings on have not taken place — for the most part — in Northwest Missouri. Unfortunately, some of these protests have gone beyond the scope of peaceful or acceptable, in my opinion. If you look at what has happened in Minneapolis; Portland, Oregon; or St. Louis over the past 12 months, you will see

some instances where I think some people with the right intentions may have let their passion go a bit far. When this has happened, innocent people with no connection to these demonstrations have been injured and sometimes killed. To this end, Senate Bill 26 seeks to make changes to some of the laws overseeing protesting and other activity. Thanks to input from a lot of different senators, this proposal seeks a balance, so that private property rights are protected just as strongly as the right to protest continues to be ensured.

I believe we need to take care of our law enforcement officers. They do so much to keep us safe. Senate Bill 26 looks after them as much as it works to crack down on vandalism or blocking traffic as part of protesting. Peacefully protesting is perfectly fine. It is a part of our country’s history. When it goes beyond peaceful, it makes things more difficult for all of us, including those who take part in the activity. In my opinion, this legislation works to keep civility in mind and protect everyone’s right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Consider giving to nature conservation by joining CFM by Tom Westoﬀ

If you love the Missouri outdoors and its wildlife, then you need to check out the Conservation Federation of Missouri and consider joining this group of Missouri Citizens with a love for Missouri outdoors. Missouri is fortunate to have an abundance of natural resources. We have good populations of wildlife for hunting, beautiful Ozark streams for floating and fishing, well-managed forest and prairies, and thousands of acres of ponds and lakes for recreation. Most of us have grown up with these resources and take them for granted, but it was not always this way. In the early 1900’s, our resources were abused and misused. Laws governing fish, forest, and wildlife were in the hands of the legislature. They may have meant well, but few legislators had any natural resource management experience. Most laws were passed to appease constituents. Fortunately, a few dedicated conservationists decided they wanted to get conservation out of politics and into the hands of trained professionals. In 1935

they formed the Conservation Federation of Missouri (CFM). A year later, they succeeded in getting a constitutional amendment passed that resulted in the formation of the Missouri Department of Conservation. While everyone today has an opinion about how resources should be managed, we have to admit we have it pretty good compared to most other states. Most people are familiar with the Missouri Department of Conservation and the Department of Natural Resources State Parks system. But many don’t know about CFM, which was organized in 1935 and is still going strong today. CFM’s mission is to ensure conservation of Missouri’s wildlife and natural resources, and preservation of our state’s rich outdoor heritage through advocacy, education and partnership. CFM is comprised of citizens and not affiliated with any government agency and gets involved with all conservation issue, not just hunting and fishing. Partnerships are critical to CFM’s continued success. There are over 100 affiliat-

ed non-government conservation organizations representing about 80,000 people and these organizations are the backbone of CFM. CFM also operates Operation Game Thief and the popular Share the Harvest programs. They also make grant funds available through the Risberg family’s generous donation, which helps afﬁliates carry out their goals, whether it be education or habitat work. Education is always important. CFM has a program called Conservation Leadership Corps. This program gives high school junior and seniors as well as college students an opportunity to get involved in conservation. CFM also publishes the Conservation Federation Magazine six times per year for each member. Advocacy is essential and one of CFM’s the most important duties. They monitor and testify in legislative hearings for conservation and natural resources. The Legislative Action Center (LAC) allows members to stay updated on conservation issues and provides an easy way to contact their legislators. Nearly every

year, a legislator tries to get conservation back in politicians’ hands by either trying to control MDC or gaining control of MDC’s funding. Now that you have learned a bit about CFM and what this group does, remember that we all have a connection to the outdoors. Whether it’s hunting, ﬁshing, camping, canoeing, biking, hiking, or just sitting in our yards and watching wildlife, we all enjoy some aspect of Missouri wildlife and resources. Becoming a CFM member keeps you informed about Missouri outdoors, its wildlife and all the opportunities that are available to you. A membership makes it easy to stay aware of conservation issues that may have an impact to Missouri outdoor future as well as giving you a voice in those decisions. In closing, membership in CFM helps ensure our natural resources will be here for all to enjoy, now and in the future. Please consider joining this dedicated group of citizens that have a love of the Missouri outdoors by going to www.confedmo.org/join or by calling 573-634-2322.

Grain Belt Express OF SES GLIMP again the target by Lianna Kowalke, Missouri News Network

The Missouri House of Representatives has given initial approval of a bill that could prevent construction of the Grain Belt Express. This is the third year in a row that the House has taken similar action. Last year, progress on the bill was curtailed in part by the pandemic. House Bill 527, sponsored by Rep. Mike Haffner (R-Pleasant Hill) states that “no entity shall have the power of eminent domain ... for the purpose of constructing above-ground merchant lines.” The bill will have a ﬁnal vote in the House before it moves to the Senate. The Grain Belt Express would run 800 miles between Kansas and Indiana and include three converter stations, one of which would be in Missouri, according to the project’s site. Two hundred miles of the route would run through eight Missouri counties, delivering 500-megawatts of wind-generated power to certain cities and towns in the state’s electric grid, including Columbia. The eight Missouri counties which would have Grain Belt Express transmission lines, from west to east across the state, are Buchanan, Clinton, Caldwell, Carroll, Chariton, Randolph, Monroe, and Ralls. The proposed electric transmission lines would

bisect Caldwell County in the south. “This is a private out-of-state company using eminent domain as a public utility and there is very little beneﬁt for Missouri,” Haffner said. “Only 6% of the power will be used here.” Many other representatives also voiced their concern about the project using eminent domain to obtain land. “We have gone from the concept of eminent domain as a last resort to one of convenience,” said Rep. Schroer (R-O’Fallon). Supporters of the project have said it will generate revenue for some Missouri cities and will provide clean energy to those that have signed on. Thirty-nine cities in Missouri have already contracted to take power from the transmission line, according to Rep. Bill Kidd (R-Buckner), chair of the House Utilities Committee. Additionally, lawmakers discussed the potential for the Grain Belt to help prevent future energy crises like the one seen in Texas last week. “As public policy makers, having a discussion about what we can do to make sure that doesn’t happen to the state of Missouri or other neighbors here in the Midwest, or the United States quite frankly, is a helpful discussion to have,” said Rep. Tracy McCreery (D-St. Louis).

Graves Votes Against Biden Bailout

Congressman Sam Graves released the following statement after voting against President Biden’s $1.9 trillion bailout bill: “We can’t afford to mortgage our children’s future to pay for this wasteful bailout bill that’s loaded with pork,” said Rep. Graves. “Less than 10% of this ‘emergency relief bill’ goes to ﬁghting COVID-19 and much of it won’t be spent this year. There’s still $1 trillion that hasn’t been spent from previous COVID-19 relief bills. “We need to focus on putting those dollars to good use and reopening our country — not wasting trillions on payoffs to liberal donors and special interests.”

Bank of Coﬀey operated for 102 years

The Bank of Coffey was a pillar in that community for over a century. When the bank officially closed on Oct. 30, 1999, its last transaction was made by Glenn Knott, withdrawing $102 representing the years of service the bank provided to the town. Eighty-two years before, Mr. Knott had the first transaction when the bank was moved to Coffey’s Main Street and was renamed the Bank of Coffey from The Farmers Bank. Mr. Knott was eight years old and registered the first transaction at the Bank of Coffey, depositing $40 after selling his red Duroc pig given to him by his uncle. The Bank of Coffey moved to Pattonsburg in 1999, renamed the Guaranty Bank & Trust. (1916 photo). SOURCE: Daviess County Historical Socidety photo

Missouri, Back in the Day...

by Ross Malone; for more about his Missouri books, visit www.RossMalone.com

March 3, 1862 – The Civil War Battle of Island No. 10 and the Siege of New Madrid began. March 4, 1830 – A small group of pioneers camped by a spring in a pleasant ﬁeld. They started a community called Springﬁeld. This spot is just to the north of the present public square (Park Centere). March 5, 1946 – Winston Churchill delivered the famous “Iron Curtain” speech at Westminster College in Fulton. March 6, 1923 – The Cardinals came up with a new idea. Players would begin wearing numbers on their uniforms.

Years later, it would be the Cardinals again who start putting player’s names on the uniforms. March 7, 1815 – James Callaway and three of his men were killed in a confrontation with Sauk warriors along the Loutre River (near Mineola, MO). March 8, 1877 – The Neosho Times reported that in Washburn a show was in progress in which one performer asked people to shoot at him with a riﬂe. He would then catch the bullet with a stick. Instead, he caught it with the side of his head. Oops! March 9, 1872 – Birthday of the Missouri Giantess, Ella Ew-

ing. Ella considered the worlds tallest female of her era. She would use her great height to earn a living in sideshows. Born in La Grange, she grew to a height which is in dispute. The last measurement she took was 8 feet, 4 inches. March 10, 1914 – At Newcomer Schoolhouse near Brunswick, MO, seven farmers formed the Newcomers Schoolhouse Farm Club. That little group expanded and became the Missouri Farmers Association. Today we know this group as the MFA, Shelter Insurance, and many other entities.

Active Aging joins 19th annual March for Meals The Active Aging Resource Center (AARC) recently announced their participation in the 19th annual March for Meals. This national month-long celebration will recognize Meals on Wheels and the people who rely on their services. The AARC will participate in multiple activities throughout the month, such as the acknowledgment of Meal Champions who sponsor meals and can collections for Daviess County. The annual March for Meals celebration honors the day in 1972 President Nixon signed an amendment to the Older Americans Act of 1965 to include a nutrition program for citizens 60 years and older throughout the nation. The Daviess County AARC serves Meals on Wheels to Altamont, Gallatin, Jameson, Jamesport, Lake Viking, and Winston. Most of AARC’s funding comes from fundraisers, memorials, and donations from the county’s community. According to the administrator of the AARC Deanna Lewis, AARC’s services are needed more this year than in previous years. “In the last year, we have experienced a 20% increase in the demand for our services in Daviess County,” said Lewis. “We have been in awe of the outpouring of support, and there’s still much we can do to ensure everyone in need of our vital lifeline can benefit from being wellnourished and more connected to our community through this challenging time and beyond.” President and CEO of Meals on Wheels America Ellie Hollander stated the importance of these services in our country’s current situation. “The pandemic has introduced many of us to the newfound and harsh realities of food insecurity and social isolation – something that far too many seniors experience as their daily norm. More than ever, we must rally around our essential community-based programs that serve as lifelines to a growing number of people in need, to enable their own long-term vitality,” said Hollander. “Even when we make it through this unprecedented time in our nation's history, there will still be millions of vulnerable older adults who will rely on that familiar knock on the door that provides peace of mind and hope beyond the meal itself. Please join us in celebrating the power and importance of Meals on Wheels this March and always.”

Winston falls to Stanberry

Stanberry's second-seeded Bulldogs pulled off an upset Thursday night, beating topseeded Winston, 55-40, in the championship game of the Class 1, District 15 Tournament, held at Winston High School. Stanberry, 17-7, led 9-8 at the end of the first quarter and extended its lead to 25-15 at the break. The Redbirds could not mount a comeback in the second half as the Bulldogs took a 30-25 scoring advantage over the final two periods. Jakub Hisel paced the Redbirds, 24-2, with 21 points. Jacob Uthe finished with 10 points.

Gallatin local provides habitat for fish Tanner Johnson, Gallatin, worked alongside 18 other Central College students to help create a habitat for fish by planting trees at Roberts Creek. As part of an angling course at Central College in Pella, IA, students cooperated with Marion County Conservation to place 300 trees connected to cinder blocks on the ice at Roberts Creek. This will create a sustainable habitat for fish in Lake Red Rock once the ice melts. This angling class is considered an exercise science course. The project was meant to help students understand global sustainability.

State Bound Wrestlers, Luke Johnson, Logan Bottcher, Draven Wright, and Rodell Sperry

Gallatin qualifies for one-day state wrestling Despite this season's COVID protocol that limited state qualifiers to three places coming out of sectional tournaments, Gallatin advanced four wrestlers to the Class 1 state tournament, which will be held at the Cable Dahmer Multi-purpose Arena in Independence, on Wednesday, March 10. Due to COVID, each state tournament for classes 1 through 4 will be held separately as one-day events, all in the Cable Dahmer Arena. This year only the top three finishers in each weight class at sectional were deemed state qualifiers. Leading the way for the Bulldogs on Saturday was junior Rodell Sperry, who kept his season record perfect at 28-0 by winning the tournament's 152 pound class. Sperry takes that spotless record to state, where he is one of the favorites to capture the gold. Placing third at sectional were freshmen Luke Johnson, sophomore Draven Wright and sophomore Logan Bottcher. Johnson's pin of Macon's

Tanner Still assured him of his first trip to state in the 106 pound division. Wright bested Marceline's Jace Bixterman by 11-2 major decision to qualify in the 145 pound class. Bottcher won a hard fought 3-0 decision over Maysville's Coy Sobotka to punch his ticket to state in the 160 pound division.

Larry Hawks joins UCM Hall of Fame Larry Hawks, 1987 graduate of Penney High School in Hamilton, was one of eight individuals honored Saturday with induction into the University of Central Missouri Athletic Hall of Fame. Hawks was one of the most versatile players in UCM Mules baseball history and ranks among the Mules' all-time leader in pitching appearances, saves, triples and put outs. In his career from 1989-90, he played catcher, first base, third base and relief pitcher. He still holds the school single season record with a 0.89 earned run average in 1990. Larry was an NCAA Division II All-American at two positions, making the First Team in 1990 as a first baseman and Third Team as a catcher in 1989. He was named the MIAA Pitcher of the Year in 1990. Following his college career, he was drafted by the San Diego Padres and rose to the Triple-A level in the Padres organization.

His multi-sport career at Penney High School (football, basketball and golf) included two All-GRC Unanimous First Team honors in football as quarterback, defensive back and kicker. He was named First Team All-State at two positions as a senior. In basketball, Larry holds the PHS single-game scoring record of 54 points, set one year before the three-point shot was implemented in Missouri.

Dragons stun Bulldogs with long balls; Dragons take district title, 71-35

Brett Hemry and Brinley Vandiver dive to the ﬂoor for a loose ball against Mid-Buchanan’s Joe Clark.

Mid-Buchanan's Dragons could hardly have started Thursday night's district championship game better than they did. It would be hard, also, for the Dragons to nitpick any of their performance as they dominated Gallatin, 71-35, for the Class 2, District 15 title. Outside shooting and a pressure defense staked the Dragons to a 25-13 early lead as they piled up 6 three-point buckets in the first quarter. Adding 3 more 3-balls, the Dragons took a comfortable 45-23 lead at the break. The Bulldogs struggled mightily to get into an offensive rhythm but could not put together consistent scoring in the face

of a withering press. Gallatin, finishing 20-4 on the season, was held to 34% shooting from the field and could pull down only 11 rebounds across 4 quarters. Brinley Vandiver led the way for the Bulldogs with 11 points. The Dragons, who combined for 12 three-pointers, got four long balls and 12 points from Javan Noyes, and were led by Caiden Bailey with 24 points. Player FG FT Pts. A S Rbd.

Gallatin R-5 grad and professional golfer Brice Garnett did more over the weekend than enjoy the beautiful weather and seaside views off the northeast coast of Puerto Rico. Garnett put together a round of 65 on Sunday to move up 25 spots into a fifth place finish in the Puerto Rico Open held at Grand Reserve Golf Club in Rio Grande, Puerto Rico. Garnett shot an opening round of 67 to immediately put him in contention on Thursday but it was Sunday's 65 and best round of the day (-7) on Sunday that locked up the top five spot. Garnett's previous best finish of the season came in November, a tie for 21st at the Bermuda Championship held at Port Royal Golf Course. He also finished 32nd in the Sony Open in Hawaii.

Kidder Institute and the ‘Professor’ who made it a reality by T.L. Huffman

History may be written down in black-and-white facts by scholarly types, but when remembered by the neighbor kids and great-grandchildren, it's a lot more colorful and a lot more fun. The history of Kidder and the Kidder Institute has now been filtered through 150 years of retellings. At first, the story was told person to person, then over landline phones, and lastly through social media. Like all small towns, there are great moments and interesting people in Kidder's history. One of those monuments is Thayer College and one of the people is George Washington Shaw. Kidder school integral to countless lives Carrie Gall-Warren recently spent a couple of nights in the huge stone-work mammoth of the old Kidder school, which has been variously known as Thayer College, Kidder Institute, Kidder School District, and Shaw Memorial. Some rooms in the school — the cafeteria/shop — had been converted to apartments. "It was fun, a little creepy, but fun," Carrie says. "I took a lot of pics while I was there." Carrie grew up a couple miles north of Kidder in the house her father had built. Several in her family attended Kidder High School. She still has family/ friends in that greater area. Due to a hotspot of COVID during the time she was visiting, she ended up not staying with the family member she had planned to stay with. "I researched Airbnb in the area and found that one and just HAD to check it out," she says. What does Carrie mean by creepy? She explains. "I went to junior high there; it was a creepy old building then. But now that it is in the condition it is in, and when you're alone in a dark room at night in a building that has all sorts of 'ghost stories' and various rumors of happenings there through the years, any little sound - the wind or an animal or whatever - can kinda creep a person out." Carrie had 86 comments on her post in the Kidder, Missouri -- Remember When social media site. She was not surprised by the amount of interest. "I figured there would be great response because that place has been an integral part of so many lives through so many generations," she says. Recollecting Kidder One of those lives and generations belongs to Judy Jordan. Judy didn't live in Kidder. But her mother was born and raised there. Judy often visited and spent some of her summers with her grandparents. Her mother was Evelyn Shaw Wager, and her father was Lawrence Wager. Her grandparents were Sterling and Freda Shaw. Her great-grandparents were Lillian and George Washington Shaw. Judy's grandparents met at the high school and lived in the stone house west of the school. "When I was a child, I would go up town with my grandma to the post office where she would visit with Ida Look," Judy says. "Ida's husband, Red, had the gas station near the tracks and a meat locker. I loved the general store, the wood sidewalks along

Main Street, the dirt streets. It was like going back in time to all the westerns on TV at the time. Mom said movies (no doubt silent) were projected outside on summer nights and someone would play piano as background." In the '50 and '60s, Kidder had three gas stations in town, a butcher shop, a post office, a couple of banks, a drug store, and a general store. "The general store was small, but it had a big gumball machine, balloons, as well as groceries," Judy says. "I remember going up town at night and hearing a band playing in the bandstand by the tracks." And of course, there was the Kidder Institute. "My family was raised in the shadow of that school," says Judy. Judy's great-grandfather, George Washington Shaw, ran the Kidder school for over four decades. It's fair to say he pretty much was the only one to ever run the school with any success. "I was raised in stories about my great-grandfather," Judy says. Thayer College…a great idea that never worked To understand George's vital role in the Kidder Institute, we have to go back to the quick rise and quicker fall of the first Kidder college. According to the first commencement address by the first president of Thayer College, Samuel D. Cochran, on June 26, 1872, “the project of planting an institution of highest general Christian education,” started with an unnamed trustee 13 years before as he was riding on the Hannibal & St. Joe Railroad

President Cochran spent much time in the east during the next months, seeking donations among congregational circles. He scraped together the donations and the building was completed three years later in 1873. There wasn't a lot of money around at that time. Remember, these events all occurred during the period of great financial pressure immediately following the Civil War. President Cochran resigned a short two years later in 1874. He got 240 acres of land belonging to the college as part payment of salary due him and a mortgage on the college property for the remainder. This indebtedness against the property would remain for many years. It was finally paid off by the members with the understanding that “never again would it be possible to borrow money on this property.” Next up is Reverend Brown who offered in 1874 to take charge of the school at his own expense. The record shows that in spite of valiant efforts, which caused him to break physically, he was unable to operate the school successfully. For some nine years the school was closed. The windows were soon out, the bats and birds took over, and there was not a tree on the 40-acre tract. Kidder Institute is one of first high schools In 1884, the population of Kidder had grown some. The community decided upon the plan of opening the school as a secondary institution to be known as Kidder Institute, under the direction of Professor Ramsey. Money was scarce and there

This image was taken from an old postcard labeling the building as Thayer Hall, Kidder Institute. through this part of the state. He and some of the owners of the railroad and others organized the New England Land Company and secured from the railroad thousands of acres of land in the vicinity. The trustee applied for a donation of lands for the purpose of founding an institution. They agreed to give 630 acres on the condition that a corporation of trustees would be appointed who would raise $35,000 and would erect a building for its uses with a certain portion of the land. In 1869, eight spadefuls of earth were dug from the site, thus initiating the work. Now, from this point on, the “story unravels of the struggle of Kidder.” College gets built, then left to wild things The establishment of the Christian College was under the auspices of the Congregational Denomination of Churches.

were no such things as high schools during this era. People had to be sold on the idea of education. After five years, Professor Ramsey gave it up and asked to be relieved. Now we get to George. George Washington Shaw was a principal at an academy in Fostoria, Ohio. He accepted the job at Kidder Institute for $900 per year. He was to be the principal. His wife was referred to as Lady Dean and Matron. "He and his wife spoke German from their Pennsylvania Dutch clan," says Judy. "They were second cousins, so our family tree takes a bend there. His mother looked much like his wife, which is a little strange." The Institute grows Lillian watered the trees and he drove over dusty roads with team and buggy, carrying the gospel of education to the parents of prospective students. Despite the driest summer on

record in 1889 and scarce funding, Kidder Institute expanded rapidly. Having outgrown old Thayer Hall, a new building was

ated in 1924. In 1927, the chapel with accompanying gymnasium became a reality. In 1930, the tremendous strain took its toll on George. He had a complete nervous breakdown. The effect of the Great Depression was closing in on the school. By 1931, George was finding it necessary to carry even more of the financial burden of the school personally. In 1932, he passed away at the beginning of the spring semester. In 1932, Guy Barnes took charge.
