7-years for stealing medications

A Bethany woman has been sentenced on multiple felony charges of stealing controlled substance and possession of controlled substance in a case involving the theft of medications from Daviess County Nursing and Rehab.

Allison Derwinis, 28, was sentenced to seven years in the Missouri Department of Corrections on two counts of stealing controlled substance, seven years on three counts of possession of controlled substance, seven years for one count of forgery, four years for harassment first

What’s the big deal about today ...when Ireland is 3,955 miles away?

Today is St. Patrick’s Day! Daviess County, MO, is a half a world away from Ireland — so, what are we doing celebrating this holiday?

The observance originally started as a Christian feast day celebrating the life of St. Patrick and the spreading of Christianity to Ireland. Today it’s a day of revelry and a celebration of all things Irish.

Don’t be surprised if you receive a pinch from someone should you forget to wear your green. But despite today’s follies, do you know that blue was the color originally associated with St. Patrick? What else should we know about this holiday?

St. Patrick’s Day is officially observed on March 17 each year, though celebrations may not be limited to this date. The significance of March 17 is tied to St. Patrick’s death in the late 5th century (circa A.D. 493).

Saint Patrick is the patron saint and national apostle of Ireland. He is credited with successfully spreading Christianity throughout Ireland — hence the Christian celebration of his life and name.

There are many legends about him that mix with the truth.

Did he play a large role in spreading Christianity to Ireland?

Yes, absolutely. Did he really drive all the snakes out of Ireland?

Probably not (snakes weren’t native to Ireland to begin with).

Legend says shamrocks are appropriate to wear on St. Patrick’s Day because St. Patrick used its three leaves to explain the Holy Trinity in his teachings. (The Trinity is the Father, the Son, and the Spirit as three divine persons who are one divine being [God].) The truth of the St. Patrick legend, however, is in question, as there is no direct record that the saint actually used the shamrock as a teaching tool.

In any case, St. Patrick’s impact was significant enough to warrant modern-day celebrations. The first St. Patrick’s Day parade in the American colonies was held in New York City on this day in 1762. And Americans everywhere have been observing it ever since.

degree, and 30 days jail on a misdemeanor count of abuse of an elderly person.

All sentences will be served concurrently. The sentences were pronounced on March 10 by Judge Ryan Horsman.

Derwinis pled guilty in January. She was charged Oct. 12 after she was pulled over for speeding and failure to stop at a stop sign in Gallatin.

Controlled substances were located during a consent search of the vehicle by Daviess County Deputy Dalton Youtsey. Derwinis admitted to stealing Lorazepam

from a resident at Daviess County Nursing and Rehab where she was employed.

She later admitted to replacing another patient’s Hydromorphone medication with allergy pills so she could take them unnoticed.

Derwinis was also charged with the harassment of a Daviess County local through private messaging only hours after being released on bond from Daviess-DeKalb Regional Jail.

Derwinis worked at the nursing home from Sept. 23 until her arrest on Oct. 11.

Mandatory 10-digit dialing coming in July The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has adopted 988 as a new three-digit number to be used nationwide to reach the National Suicide Prevention and Mental Health Crisis Lifeline. The use of this new threedigit number will begin on July 16, 2022.

The FCC is implementing this new 3-digit number in an effort to simplify the hotline’s current 10-digit phone number. According to a 2019 FCC report, more than 2.2 million calls were answered by the hotline in 2018.

For the new 988 number to work in the 660 and 816 area codes, residents will be required to dial local numbers using 10 digits -- the area code plus the

phone number.

Residents in the 660 and 816 area codes will now need to dial all local calls to numbers in these area codes as a 10-digit number (area code plus the telephone number) instead of a 7-digit number. Residents in the 641-area code who can call a number in the 660-area code as a local number will now need to dial a 10-digit number (the area code plus the telephone number) as well.

Customers of GRM Networks affected by the 10-digit dialing are those whose area code is 660 and 816. This includes all GRM Networks’ Missouri and LTC Networks’ phone customers.

This will also affect GRM Networks’ customers in Iowa who

can call 660 numbers as a local number. These exchanges are Blockton, Lamoni, Davis City, Lineville, Leon, and Allerton.

Beginning April 24 of this year, residents in the affected area codes should begin dialing 10 digits (area code plus the telephone number) for local calls. On (continued on page 4)

Good idea, but...

Debate has renewed on minimum wages, just how serious is curious. Political points go to the elected official who trumpets better wages for the common man, knowing the odds are against significant immediate change.

One idea attractive to small business suggests raising minimum wage for big business, not small business. It seems strange for a national, publicly traded business to pay the same minimum wage to thousands of employees as the mom-n-pop business, especially if quarterly corporate reports are measured in the millions (if not more). So, the idea of different rates of minimum wage appropriate to business size seems righteous. It’s a good idea, but…

Where’s the line? What’s the boundary defining a small business from a big business? Should definitions be based on taxable profits, or gross revenue, or

by Darryl Wilkinson employee counts, or whether the business answers to an individual entrepreneur or to stockholders?

Once adjusted, can the minimum wages really be tied to median wage growth?

Who does enforcement — will this involve a whole new level of bureaucracy? How do different rates of minimum wage apply to workers employed at two or more jobs, or seasonal workers? Does the idea of a tiered minimum wage create more administrative problems than it solves?

Bumping the minimum wage up to $15 an hour may help resolve poverty line issues in some states, but is it fair when looking at all markets across the country? Research confirms pay raises help workers with jobs but the number of jobs available will decline; parttime workers lose hours of work while inexperienced or entry level workers find it harder to find work at all.

And then, there’s the politics. Twenty-five states have passed “preemption” laws, preventing minimum wage increases above the state minimum in cities and counties. Raising the minimum wage for big business, not small business, sounds like a great idea ...but it’s more complicated than a catchy slogan.

Most agree minimum wages should increase. Researchers say the federal minimum wage has not been raised since it went to $7.25 an hour in 2009 — and inflation has reduced its value by nearly onethird from its highest real value(in 1968). Missouri is on its way stepping to $12/hour — and any mandated increase is bad timing with COVID already pounding small business. Increasing and changing minimum wages in phases over years offers the best chance to improve economic equality.

Raise the minimum wage for big business, not small business, sounds good. But there’s devil in the details.

The Capital Gains Hoax: If our US Congress really wanted to “close the Gap” between the rich and the poor, they would expose the Capital Gains Tax for what it really is, The Capital Gains Tax Loophole.

Money gained through dividends and certain stock sale profits and investments qualify for a special tax called the Capital Gains Tax which simply means that these earnings are taxed at 17% no matter how much income the taxpayer earns. These investment earnings are referred to as “unearned income.” That’s as opposed to “earned income,” the money people go out and work for.

Earned income is taxed based on workers’ annual income, a rate almost always higher, much higher than the Capital Gains “unearned” rate. Now, how would you rather be taxed? At 17% no matter how many millions you made or the rate you’re paying now on your earned income? Congress won’t change this farce on their own volition and we can all conger up our own rationale why.

One more thing about our U.S. Congress. In 1984, they voted to end the U.S. Government’s “defined benefit pension system” called the Civil Service Retirement System for all future employees hired after 1984. HOWEVER, they did not include themselves in their new rule.

Members of both the House and Senate still enjoy this benefit denied to other government workers hired after 1984.

It’s no wonder there is such an effort to limit Congressional terms of service. I wonder what it would be like to have “temporary” lawmakers in office because of what they hope they can achieve for our country without the distraction of what they need to do to win a nonexistent reelection?

2nd Amendment Resolution: Thank you to the Daviess County Commission for addressing the 2nd Amendment Preservation Resolution.

I would like to comment on Lawyer Ivan Schraeder’s poor choice of words “political statement” in reference to the Preservation Resolution.

In my opinion, Mr. Schraeder’s public statement was pathetic and bad money spent on an attorney. Mr. Schraeder must think he can predict the outcome of the Missouri State Legislature. For

the Daviess County Commission to rely on this attorney opinion is unacceptable.

I believe, it was not the intentions of our forefathers that our constitution/amendments to be a “political statement.” But to protect the rights of Americans of this Great American Nation.

As a born and raised Missourian and law-abiding citizen, I invite the citizens of Daviess County to request their presiding commissioner and sheriff to reconsider the documentation for the 2nd Amendment Preser-

Reservoir project boost endorsed

by State Sen. Dan Hegeman

We have reached the midway mark of the First Regular Session of the 101st General Assembly. It is amazing how quickly these past two and a half months have gone, with several accomplishments made on behalf of not only the 12th Senatorial District, but all of Missouri.

Senate Concurrent Resolution 7 is among the measures moving through the process this session. The purpose of SCR 7 is to express legislative and affirmative state support for the ongoing efforts of one of the largest water projects under construction in the country.

The East Locust Creek Reservoir, when completed, will supply 7 million gallons of water

per day to a 10-county region in Northwest Missouri. During the last several years, the North Central Regional Water Commission has worked with local, state and federal legislators to advance this project.

Another important measure is Senate Bill 86, which seeks to provide restraints on how public funds can be spent by any school district, or anyone who works for a district.

Senate Bill 86 would prohibit any school district or their employees from using public funds to support or oppose the nomination or election of elected officials, or the passage of any ballot measure.

Most people, when they hear about this measure, think this is

already the case. My legislation would ensure this truly is the law of our state, and I am happy to see it move to the Missouri House of Representatives for its consideration.

This week is the annual midsession recess for the Missouri Legislature, a time when many of us return to our home districts for some downtime and a chance to catch up with constituents back home.

We have another eight weeks of session left, which includes passing the state’s operating budget for the next fiscal year. I look forward to working with my colleagues and doing everything I can to make Missouri a better place to live, work and raise a family.

Assessing the legislative ‘halftime’

by State Rep. J. Eggleston

By the time you read this, the Missouri legislature will be on its spring break.

Regular session is between early January and mid-May, with a one-week break about halfway through. Most members will spend that time at home with family, meeting with constituents, and just decompressing from the high-pressure atmosphere of the capitol.

While there is nothing special about the halfway point, it is a good indicator of whether a bill may pass if it has made it through either the House or Senate, or if it may fail because it has not and will likely run out of time.

So, I thought I would offer you some stats on the progress of the legislature’s bills this session.

vation Resolution.

Please follow the example of DeKalb County, Mercer County and Camden County, in representing this Great State of Missouri.

I would like to thank DeKalb County Presiding Commissioner Kyle Carroll, DeKalb County Sheriff Kasey Keesaman and Casey Guernsey for their effort and support toward the 2nd Amendment Preservation Resolution. God Bless America Connie L. Sloan-Spiers, Maysville

In the House, this year our members filed 1537 bills. There is no way we have time to address that many bills in one session, so there is a referral and committee process to separate the grain from the chaff, so to speak.

This process can also amend bills to make them better and more passable. So far, 320 of those bills have passed through a committee (usually about 12 members are on a committee), and 64 of those have received a successful vote in the full House.

This year, I filed 11 bills, with six making it through committee.

Two of those (HB1083 & HB554) were passed by the House and sent to the Senate, and the other four are teed up for consideration when we return from break. That’s actually a pretty

successful percentage, and I am pleased with how the session is going.

On the Senate side, 677 bills were filed, 82 have passed committee, and 22 have been perfected by the whole Senate.

Bills that have completed their journey in the House will now move over to the Senate for consideration there, and vice versa.

If the opposite chamber approves a bill as is, it goes to the governor for him to sign into law.

If the opposite chamber amends a bill, it then goes back to the original chamber for reconsideration.

Once both chambers have approved the exact same language, it goes to the governor’s desk for him to either sign or veto.

Legislative efforts vs the constitution

This year, an effort to provide financial help for parents to send their kids to alternative schools could run afoul of two very clear provisions of the state’s Constitution.

The issue arises from a bill that started out as a simple idea to give homeschooled kids the right to participate in public school sports. But it got bloated by the Senate which added tax breaks for parents sending their children to private schools, expansion of where charter schools can operate, Bible studies, school transportation funding and more.

It’s an example of a common tactic in the legislature to throw everything but the kitchen sink onto a bill moving through the process. But article III, section 23 of the Constitution provides that “no bill shall contain more than one subject which shall be clearly expressed in the title.”

In 1994, Missouri’s Supreme Court struck down a bill that began as a measure for absentee voting, but ended up with another, completely different subject to let Boone County become a charter county. In response, legislators have tried to get around the “Hammerschmidt” single-subject decisionFby mes of the title raamending e m i of a bloated T bill to include the unrelated issues.

Legal tender issued locally at national charter banks

government needed new and broadly-based markets for its bonds.

A national bank could circulate notes with a total value that depended on the value of the securities it deposited with the U.S. Treasury. Banks were mostly required to back their notes with U.S. bonds, which allowed the bank to circulate national bank notes with a value up to 90 percent of the value of the bonds. Only for a brief period (1908-15) were securities other than U.S. bonds accepted to back notes.

The circulating privilege had the effect of nearly doubling the money supply. For every dollar paid in, the government had a dollar to spend and the banker had 90 cents to loan. Competition between bankers usually prompted banks to change their charter to become national banks.

The currency was delivered in large sheets to the local bank. Local bank officers signed the bills and then cut the individual bills apart, sometimes cutting irregularly.

Sometimes the ink from the signature on one bill offset onto another bill. Such irregularities are attractions to collectors today. There were a variety of bills issued and in different physical sizes. Collectors use terms such as plainbacks, datebacks, brownbacks, and valuebacks in describing the bills. The currency is still legal tender although market value among collectors exceeds the face value of this currency today.

The importance of national bank notes reached its zenith in 1913 when a record $1.1 billion worth of nationals were in circulation. In 1913 the United States was fast The First National Bank of Gallatin was chartered in May, 1901. It issued bills for $5, $10 and $20, signed by becoming an industrial giant. The explosive growth of Bank President Chas. Hemry and Bank Cashier A.J. Place. This example features U.S. President William McKinley, dated May 11, 1921, which was the last year of the McKinley Administration. the American economy demanded a more flexible banking system. In December 1913, the Federal Reserve Act was passed by Congress, an event which marked the beginning of the end for national bank notes. The last series of national bank notes was issued in 1929.

The First National Bank of Gallatin was not chartered until May, 1901. Note the bank’s charter number (5827) is prominently printed on the currency. Not all banks, even those chartered as national banks, issued money. A charter was good for 20 years. When a bank bought out another bank or holding company, the buying bank’s name might be shown on the bill with the purchased bank’s charter number.

The First National Bank of Gallatin operated on the south side of the Gallatin square, relocating to the northThe First National Bank of Jamesport issued this $20 bill on Dec. 2, 1904, while R.H. Lilly served as bank west corner of the square in 1966, and was later succeedpresident. Notice the bank’s charter number printed prominently on each bill’s front (for Jamesport, 7460). Featured on this bill is the photo of Hugh McCulloch, an American financier who played a central role in financing the ed by Farmers Bank of Northern Missouri.

Legal tender was once issued by individual national banks across the United States, including the First National Bank of Gallatin and the First National Bank of Jamesport.

On Feb. 25, 1863, Abraham Lincoln signed the National Currency Act which gave birth to a strong banking system and to a secure national currency. Collectors today use the terms “national bank notes” or simply “nationals” to refer to the notes circulated by national banks.

Two reasons stand out for President Lincoln’s action: 1) the number of private and state banks was growing explosively and many were unsound (some were swindles) and public faith in paper money was at a new low, and 2) to finance the Civil war, the federal

Altamont trash change Due to a lack of rate increases the past several years, the trash disposal service for the Village of Altamont, R&W Container, recently proposed a renewal rate increase of $8 per month, which would have raised Altamont customers’ monthly billing rate to $19.

With the very limited options available and short time frame involved, the village board made the decision to change to Rapid Removal of Trenton at a more competitive cost which will hold customer rates to $15 per month.

According to village clerk Glenda Rogers, the board has not been meeting due to COVID concerns, but the board president talked to individual board members by phone for input. All

The Missouri State Highway Patrol recently named Trooper Michael Cline the Trooper of the Year for Troop H. As the Troop H nominee for the Benjamin Booth Officer of the Year Award, he was awarded a certificate of recognition, and was in the running for the statewide award.

Trooper Cline, 26, is originally from Hamilton. Cline previously worked as a deputy sheriff for Caldwell County and as a Cameron Police Officer. He started his position as a state trooper in June of 2019. Cline serves with Troop H, assisting the citizens of Daviess and DeKalb Counties.

Mandatory 10-digit dialing or after Oct. 24, 2021, all local calls, as described above, must be dialed as a 10-digit number.

Beginning July 16, 2022, dialing “988” will route the call to the National Suicide Prevention and Mental Health Crisis Lifeline.

The 10-digit dialing will also affect cell phone calls. Customers with questions about their wireless service should contact their wireless provider.

Other devices will need to be checked. These include automatic dialing equipment and other services that are programmed to currently use 7-digit dialing. Some examples of this are life safety systems or medical monitoring devices, PBXs, fax machines, fire or burglar alarm and security systems or gates, speed dialers, mobile or other wireless phone contact lists, call forwarding settings, voicemail services and other similar functions. Items such as these will need to be reprogrammed to complete 10-digit dialed calls.

Websites, personal and business stationery, advertising materials, personal and business checks, contact informa-

(Continued from page 1)

tion, personal or pet ID tags and other similar items should be checked to ensure the area code is listed.

The following will remain the same: • Existing customer telephone numbers, including the current area code, will not change.

• The price of a call, coverage area, or other rates and services will not change due to the dialing change.

• What is considered a local call now will remain a local call regardless of the number of digits dialed.

• Long distance calls will continue to be dialed as 1 plus the area code plus the telephone number.

• Dialing three digit numbers such as 911 (emergency services) and 711 (relay services) do not change.

• Any 211, 311, 411, 511, 611 or 811 service available in communities can still be reached by dialing the 3-digit code.

• The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline may still be reached by dialing 1-800-273TALK (8255).

Barnwarming festivities for Gallatin FFA, FCCLA Members of the Gallatin R-5 FFA and FCCLA came together on March 5 to host the annual Barnwarming dance. Members in grades 8-12 attended the dance, and 106 members and guests were present.

Square dance practice was held one hour before the actual dance began. The caller for the evening was Sharon Lockridge, with Tara Burns assisting in helping newcomers learn how to manage their squares.

Games throughout the evening included Rooster on the Roof, with two winners for the upperclassmen, Gage Wright and Maddi Michael, and two for the underclassman, Peyton Feiden and Audrey Spencer. Winners of the pedal tractor races were Mr.

Alden and Mason Lynch. Barnwarming Royalty candidates participated in a steer roping event won by Hayden Jumps.

Senior Jenna Rains and sophomore Ethan Adkison were crowned as the FCCLA/ FFA Barnwarming Queen and King. Jenna was crowned by last year’s queen, Caragan Baker.

Ethan was presented his medal

by Gage Wright, the 2019 Homecoming king.

Freshmen candidates were Emma Christopher and Owen Waterbury; sophomore candidates, Tanna Youngs and Ethan Adkison, junior candidates, Olivia Woody and Haven Gibson, and senior candidates, Jenna Rains and Hayden Jumps. The evening ended with the tra-

ditional apple juice chugging contest which was won by the sophomore class.

Sperry finishes season 30-1; Bulldogs tag pair of Class 1 state medals The 2020-21 COVID wrestling season brought many changes and challenges to Gallatin R-5 wrestlers but they weathered the storm and capped the final week of competition with two medals at the MSHSAA Class 1 Wrestling Championships held in Independence.

In a season that saw abbreviated schedules, tighter restrictions, a different state venue and fewer competitors at state meets, the Bulldogs were able to advance four wrestlers to the final meet held at the Cable Dahmer Arena.

Leading the way for the Bulldogs was junior Rodell Sperry, who added to his win mark by three matches before bowing to his Knob Noster opponent in the championship match of the 152 pound class. Sperry, as the division's top seed, drew a first round bye, then made quick work of two opponents, Blake Wiles of Fatima and Shyne Tucker of Lift

for Life Academy, with a pair of victories by pins.

Sperry took to the finals mat, as expected, against senior Connor Johnston and the two squared off for two scoreless periods to begin the match.

Johnston's choice of the down position to begin the third and final period proved to be the difference in the match.

An escape finally broke the scoring drought and a subsequent takedown gave Johnston a 3-0 lead before he tacked on two more points with a near fall.

The 5-0 loss ended Sperry's season at 30-1 but the door remains open for another trip to state next season.

Draven Wright took a long road to a fifth place finish in the 145 pound weight class. The Bulldog sophomore pinned Alex Radefield of Versailles to begin his day. A loss to Centralia's Braydon Shelton sent him to the consolation side.

Wright pinned Larry Norrington of Lift for Life Academy and came back to Radefield, this time winning a 15-3 major decision and a fifth place state medal. Wright finished the year 28-8.

Bulldog freshman Luke Johnson got his first taste of state competition in the 106 pound class. Johnson lost his first match to Levi Wilhelm of Knob Noster and then drew a bye in the consolation bracket. A loss on points to Paxton Martin of Hallsville, ended Johnson's day.Sophomore Logan Bottcher also battled back from an opening round loss to Kyle Flieger of Versailles. Bottcher next received a bye and advanced further with a hard fought 5-4 win over Richmond's Aidan Ivison.

A 7-4 loss to Brentwood's Cody Hughes ended Bottcher's trek one match win short of a medalJohnson finished his initial varsity season 15-14. Bottcher's season ended at 25-12.

Fixing leaks will save more than you think!

Water leaks in your home cost you money, and March 1521 is Fix-A-Leak Week.

According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), small household leaks can add up to gallons of water lost every day. The EPA reminds everyone to check their plumbing fixtures and irrigation systems each year in March during Fix-a-Leak Week.

Household leaks can waste more than 1 trillion gallons of water a year nationwide. For example, a leaky faucet dripping at the rate of one drip per second can waste more than 3,000 gallons per year. That’s the amount of water needed to take more than 180 showers. A showerhead leaking at 10 drips per minute wastes more than 500 gallons a year—that’s the amount of water it takes to wash 60 loads of dishes in your dishwasher.

The average household’s leaks can account for nearly 11,000 gallons of water wasted every year and 10 percent of the homes have leaks that waste 90 gallons or more of water a day.

Common types of leaks found in the home include: worn toilet

flappers, dripping faucets and other leaking valves. According to the EPA, fixing easily corrected household water leaks can save homeowners about 10 percent on their water bill.

Here are some tips to save water: -- Check for leaks. Silent toilet leaks can be found by putting a few drops of food coloring into the tank and seeing if color appears in the bowl before you flush. Don’t forget to check irrigation systems and spigots, too.

-- Twist and tighten pipe connections.

-- Replace the fixture if necessary.

--Plug up the sink or use a wash basin if washing dishes by hand.

-- Install a water saving showerhead; they use one-third the amount of water that a regular showerhead uses.

-- Turn off the tap while shaving or brushing teeth.

-- Store drinking water in the refrigerator instead of letting the faucet run until the water is cool.

DID YOU KNOW? DID YOU KNOW? Penguins can drink salt water

because they have glands next to their eyes that pull the salt out of their bloodstream, then they sneeze out the salt.

CHAPTER SEVEN Shibe Park was a steel and concrete behemoth of a stadium. Vendors walked around advertising their wares—bags of salty peanuts and the like. The crowds of fans, servicemen in uniforms, ladies in neat dresses, older men in their Sunday best, hurried their way toward their seats. An electric excitement was in the air as everyone anticipated the start of the game. The stadium was packed with people. People who looked like him. Miles had never seen anything like it. This game simply felt different. There wasn’t any tension in the air, just enthusiasm. Everyone was ready to cheer on the Kansas City Monarchs or the Homestead Grays of the Negro League.

“Let’s find some seats,” Miles’ dad said, leading them into the stadium seating area. The pair found an open spot with a great view of home plate. Miles’ dad bought some peanuts and they settled in, just as the game began.

“Pitching for the Kansas City Monarchs…Joe Matchett!” the announcer called.

“Matchett?” Miles’ dad questioned. “Where’s Paige?”

“Satchel Paige, Dad?” Miles asked. Miles didn’t know as much as his dad did about baseball, but everyone knew about Satchel Paige.

“I heard he got stopped for a speeding ticket near Lancaster,” a man in front of them turned around and said.

“We need Paige.” Miles’ dad shook his head. Miles’ dad was right. Three innings in and the Homestead Grays were leading 5-2 after Matchett gave up five unearned runs. The Kansas City Monarchs had won the first three games in the series. They could clinch the championship right here if only…

“Satchel Paige!” Miles heard someone shout.

The name moved through the crowd like a rippling wave. Satchel Paige! Paige is here!

Miles excitedly scanned the Monarchs players in the dugout until he saw him—Paige’s lanky figure emerging and heading toward his rightful place on the pitcher’s mound.

“Dad! Dad! It’s true!” Miles yelled, pulling on his dad’s suit jacket. “Satchel Paige is really here!”

“All right, Son!” his dad shouted. “Now we’ve got ourselves a baseball game!”

As Miles and his dad watched, Satchel Paige took over the game, shutting down the Homestead Gray’s offense

completely. In the seventh inning, another two runs put the Monarchs in the lead. Miles nodded, excitedly.

“Tell me more about him, Dad.” “Cool Papa Bell once said that Satchel Paige ‘made his living by throwing the ball to a spot over the plate the size of a matchbook’, and it’s true—Paige’s accuracy is incredible when it comes to pitching. As he’s gotten older his pitching has changed, but,” Miles’ dad nodded toward Paige, “it’s no less effective than it ever was. When he was younger his pitches were more about speed. Now they’re all about control. Like Cool Papa Bell said, Paige could hit a matchbox every time.”

“Wow,” Miles whispered. He watched Satchel Paige commanding the field, as he pulled his strong, right arm back and released the ball.

Newspaper Connection: Satchel Paige’s pitches were very controlled. Find words in your local newspaper that mean control.
