Coffey implements audit recommendations after $60,000 found missing

The real life story of Calamity Jane... from Princeton, MO, to Deadwood, SD On March 30-31, over 30 North Missourians will tell the story of how Martha Canary grew into the ‘real’ Calamity Jane during a Calamity Jane docudrama to be filmed and performed on the Mercer High School stage.

Performances will be held at 1 p.m. on Friday; 7 p.m. on Saturday; and 1:30 p.m. on Sunday.

Fourteen scenes explain how she became a legend and who she really was. Some folks think she was a wild woman, some think she was a drunk; but most admit ignorance ...especially teenagers. That’s why the March 29 show will be performed free for students.

Local historians, Bob Kauffman and Donna Covey, believe there is more that should be told about this famous pioneer who got her start in a log cabin in Mercer County.

With the advice of Professor Richard Etulain, Kauffman has written a docudrama about the ‘real’ Calamity Jane, and it will be performed on stage by Covey and 30 friends to help preserve and perpetuate this history on a DVD by MasterVideo of Trenton.

The goal is to add a significant chapter in Mercer County’s history. Calamity had a tragic life and it was filled with disasters. Articles written often got it wrong, or only half right. They weren’t concerned about how

Two raccoons on a hot date Ron McNeely spotted these two raccoons electrocuted together on a wire in the Grand River bottoms east of Gallatin and had Trudi Burton take a picture for him on March 18. Mr. McNeely noted that the raccoons have bitten into one another’s legs as a reaction when electrocuted, clamped on, and fell on either side of the line.

“I’ve never seen anything so unusual in all my time working in conservation,” Mr. McNeely said. And that’s saying something. Ron was a Wildlife Damage Control Agent for 28 years, retiring in 2002.

“It is mating season for raccoons and apparently they were up on the pole together on a date,” he says with a grin.

State Auditor Nicole Galloway has released a follow-up report to last year’s audit of the City of Coffey in north Daviess County.

The audit showed more than $60,000 was missing and that former city clerk Mary L. Browning failed to make deposits, received improper payroll payments, and falsified board minutes and various financial reports.

Auditor Galloway turned over the audit results to law enforcement officials and pledged her office’s assistance to them. Last August, Browning was charged with felony stealing and forgery in Daviess County.

The follow-up report released March 12 shows that city officials in Coffey have implemented almost all of the audit’s recommendations for better fiscal controls and oversight, and the other recommendations were in progress.

Auditor Galloway commended them for taking those steps.

“Restoring citizens’ confidence in government can be challenging when fraud and abuse of taxpayer dollars have occurred,” Auditor Galloway says.

“By following the recommendations outlined in my audit, city officials in Coffey are working to regain that trust. As I’ve often said, audits get results. In this case, it means greater oversight now is in place to safeguard taxpayer money.”

H.B. Worley becomes 83rd to be listed as Daviess County Century Farm Family The family of H.B. Worley was honored at the 2019 University of Missouri ExtensionDaviess County annual dinner. The Worley family is one of 83 farms in Daviess County to earn the recognition. The farm was acquired in 1913 and consists of 77 acres of ground to remain in the family since that date.

In attendance to accept the sign, certificate and booklet were Verna Rose Cole Swisegood and her children, Lana Crawford, Darrin Cole, Clint Cole.

If your farm has been in your family since Dec. 31, 1919, you can apply to have it recognized as a Missouri Century Farm. To qualify, the same family must have owned the farm for 100 consecutive years. The line of owner-

ship from the original seller or buyer may be through children, grandchildren, siblings, and nieces or nephews, including through marriage or adoption.

The farm must be at least 40 acres of the original land acquisition and make a financial contribution to the overall farm income.

Applications will be accepted at the University of Missouri Extension-Daviess County office Feb. 1-May 15. For more information, call 660-663-3232.

About the Century Farm program In 1976 when Missouri had the American Revolution Bicentennial, Governor Christopher Bond indicated that agriculture should

play a prominent role in Missouri’s Bicentennial celebration since agriculture was the state’s number one industry….

Century farms and ranches have shaped the nation. Amidst every kitchen, behind every faded barn door, and in every soiled and calloused hand lie untold stories of those who feed our nation. As an industry, we are called to discover these stories and share with consumers everywhere the contribution farmers and ranchers have made to our American heritage. It is time to redefine sustainability and put a face to the farmer who fills our cupboards and clothes our backs.

Therefore, the Missouri Committee for (continued on page 3 )

The previous audit cited lax oversight by both the Mayor and the Board of Aldermen, but the follow-up found the city has implemented recommendations to better oversee financial activity and quickly identify any errors or missing funds.

The mayor reviews and compares bank activity to accounting records monthly, and reviews financial reports, supporting documentation and checks written before approving and signing checks.

Additionally, financial statements are now provided to the board at each monthly meeting for review and approval.

As part of the recommendations in progress, the Board of Aldermen is working with local law enforcement regarding the criminal prosecution in order to seek restitution of the missing money.

OPINION

March 20, 2019

Who you know There’s always been this tension about how education paves the way to a better life. Is it what you know or who you know?

Allegations that rich parents cheated their children’s way into elite universities have captured recent headlines. Another public survey finds how most Americans believe higher education favors the wealthy and well-connected in unfair ways. Such disgust is grounded in the self-evident chase of the almighty dollar on all levels in our society.

The notion that the wealthy can deploy their fortunes to get their children into college — using charitable donations that are not only legal but also give them a tax break — is particularly galling. It camouflages the wholesome goodness, even noble effort, in pursuing wisdom. th itor s i Education teaches how life isn’t fair.

Yesterday at the barber shop I heard a veteran teacher admit that he advises his own children against entering the teaching profession. In public education, the boundaries defining teachers and social workers get blurred while

by Darryl Wilkinson the blame for whatever happened (or didn’t happen) at school gets thrown at whomever is in charge.

Education is hard to measure. Test scores can’t possibly describe untapped potential or always define what knowledge an individual retains and can appropriately use. Some people simply don’t “test good.” Poor test results have consequences. But what else but test scores can be used? There is widespread support for colleges’ use of standardized tests like the SAT and ACT to screen applicants. But there are also things like Affirmative Action where it’s not what you do nor who you know but also the color of your skin.

Education is delivered on various platforms. There’s the school of hard knocks. Common sense frequently trumps book learning for practical reasons. As a college student working summers at a rock quarry, the ridicule sure to erupt after any blunder always played along the edge of confrontation rather than humor. The lesson to be learned involved not just accountability but also the definition of humble, up close and personal.

Education is confusing. Perspectives change. Education means different things in the different stages of life: as a reluctant youth forced to attend class, as a prep school graduate forced into lifechanging decisions, as a student athlete with scholarship and workstudy program pressures and benefits, as an inexperienced journalist trying to explain the logic of some school board decisions, as a parent cornered into defending either the child or the educator, as a taxpayer sensing dollars wasted, as head of a household weighing Darr yl Wilkinson , Editor & Publisher other needs against tuitions.

There are more questions than answers at each stage along the way. And yet, remembering that one teacher or coach whose impact (continued on page 3 )

Why rename Squaw Creek Refuge?

by C ongressman Sam G rav es

Just outside of Mound City lies a wildlife refuge named Squaw Creek. The pristine land, known for being a haven for snow geese, was made a federal refuge and given its moniker by President Franklin Roosevelt in 1935.

The name “Squaw Creek” evokes many memories and a proud history in Holt County.

At the end of his administration, President Obama and his cohorts decided as one of their final moves to arbitrarily rename federal wildlife refuges they determined to have offensive names.

To extend his politically correct agenda all the way down to places like rural North Missouri, President Obama directed the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to rename Squaw Creek National Wildlife Refuge.

The Fish and Wildlife Service immediately engaged to change the name. Usually, if an agency wants to do something like that, they seek input from local communities. After all, changing the name of a local landmark shouldn’t be done hastily at the whim of bureaucrats; it should be done carefully with consider-

ation from folks who live in the area.

However, Fish and Wildlife did neither of those things. They held only one “public” hearing -a “public” hearing that was invitation only. There was no official record kept of the feedback officials received at the meeting and no media outlets were invited to cover the meeting.

Shortly after the agency announced its intent to re-name the refuge, they did just that, declaring the refuge be named Loess Bluffs National Wildlife Refuge just as President Obama left office.

It wasn’t a transparent process. It wasn’t fair or legitimate.

If bureaucrats want to change decades of history, especially after area residents had already overwhelmingly rejected such changes before, there needs to

be an open, fair, transparent and legitimate process.

Since the change, I’ve been calling for the process to be reopened and done the right way.

Last month, Congress passed a bill that did just that. It required the US Fish and Wildlife Service to reopen the process for changing the name of the refuge. They are quickly approaching the deadline to reopen the process. I will keep a close eye on the process to make sure those responsible carry out a fair, transparent process as required by law.

Ultimately, I want to see the name of the refuge changed back to Squaw Creek as it’s always been, and always will be to me.

At the very least, I want to see the public given the opportunity to have their say, like they should have been able to do in the first place.

I know that living in this most blessed of nations it’s hard to say that we deserve anything, but dog-gone it, after living through a winter like we’ve j ust Poosey Digest Favorites endured I think we’ve ime e m in b F ie a a ie C m earned the right to treat ourselves to a shindig.

A welcome return to order in Missouri’s legislature A surprise has emerged from this year’s session of Missouri’s legislature.

The General Assembly has returned to an era when the leadership exercised less power to control the legislative agenda in choosing winners and losers.

While what follows may seem inside baseball, it directly impacts the power of your local legislators to be meaningful players in the process. To understand why, you need to realize that far more bills get introduced than a legislative session of less than five months has time to review and act upon.

You might think that legislative committees would winnow out the insignificant bills and report to the full chamber a manageable number based on what the chairs and their committee members consider priorities for chamber debate. But it’s not always worked out that way.

Committee members frankly are reluctant to anger their colleagues by killing their bills. And, of course, there’s pressure from special interests with financial or political clout to get their bills out of committee. The resulting tidal wave of committee-approved bills meant that complicated priority bills which required more committee time could end up at the bottom of the list of bills before the chamber, known as the calendar.

It created a problem because both the House and Senate religiously had followed the order of bills on those calendars. So, priority bills for legislative leaders could end up too far down the calendar to have much of a chance.

In response, about a decade ago legislative leaders began to ignore the order of bills on the calendar. It left committee chairs and bill sponsors hostage to party leaders facing pressure from special interests, other members and outside interests to take a by Phill bill up out of order.

Brooks Years earlier, bill sponsors fiercely defended the right to have a chamber debate on their bills when they reached the top of the calendar. But with the loss of institutional memory from term limits, I sensed that members and committee chairs did not fully realize the power legislative leaders had seized.

But this year, both House and Senate majority leaders returned to the past tradition to follow the calender order of bills.

“There’s been a push to just make sure individual senators’ power is recognized...I also want to make sure that they know that their voices are being heard and

that they have as much of a chance to get something done for their community as I do,” said Senate Republican Leader Caleb Rowden, R-Columbia.

Both Rowden and the House GOP leader Rob Vescovo, R-Jefferson County, said the more orderly process gives members a heads up to prepare for what they’ll be debating and voting upon each day. But, Vescovo agreed with my assessment that this new approach weakened the powers of majority leaders to control the agenda.

“I’m OK with reducing my power. I think the floor leader has too much power already, right. The power shouldn’t be used just for this office, it should be used for the entire caucus.”

Facilitating this more orderly process requires discipline of committees to avoid dumping out unrealistic numbers of bills.

That committee discipline has been obvious in the House which has been able to clear most of the bills that were on the calendars at the start of the week.

Another major change this year has been the limited number of contentious partisan issues presented for chamber

Capitol Perspectives

debate.

Rowden noted the difference: “We didn’t go into this with many of those kind of predestined problems...I think that allowed us the freedom and flexibility to say, hey, let’s do this the right way.”

But both floor leaders acknowledged a “we’ll see” caution as to whether this more orderly process can be maintained when the legislature enters the final weeks with pressure to get bills passed.

That’s a good point. Even in the days of old when the legislature was disciplined about the calendar order of bills, legislative leaders found ways to get around the restrictions of rules and process in the closing weeks. And, for sure, I expect a few contentious issues like abortion restrictions will be dominating issues for the closing weeks of the session.

Yet, I sense the current crop of new legislative leaders have instilled a more orderly approach and one that restores the power of individual members of your Missouri General Assembly.

The House at halftime

by State Rep. J. Eggleston

The legislature is now midway through the 2019 legislative session, which runs from early January until mid-May. In the week of March 17-24, the legislature will take its “spring break” and return to action on Monday, March 25.

During the break, some members will take time to unwind and decompress from the stress of the capitol, and hopefully come back for the second half refreshed. Others will return to their districts to meet with education, business, and constituent groups. I have eight such meetings on my calendar.

I would say we have had a very productive first half of session. The House has passed 73 bills from 50 different members.

The 50 members include the full range of experience from seasoned reps in their final term to new freshmen reps who have only served for a couple of months.

These bills have been of a wide variety. They include not only the big pro-life bill I mentioned in my last report but also three on workforce development (a priority of Gov. Parson’s), three on protecting children from harm, and four on criminal justice reform. We also passed

Letters

Dear Editor: I would like to know what our village board is doing for us.

Sometimes they help people they know and friends. Other ones, they don’t help at all. They think more of themselves than helping others. Only one board member thinks of other people. I am sorry, but they should treat everyone with respect and understanding.

Other people have feelings, too.

I tried to talk to the village clerk about the dogs on 4th Street and she didn’t want to talk to me.

She said she didn’t have time. I thought that was part of her job.

The people in the village have problems, too. If she is working for the village she needs to help people.

The board was going to pick up all dogs running the streets, but haven’t done it. The dogs on 4th Street are a nuisance to everyone. They come up to 3rd Street, eat all of the outside catfood, and take off with the food bowls. People have to go find them. I would like to know what to do about it.

The board hasn’t cleaned up the town. All they want to do is take people to court for something that isn’t right. They should do something inside of the village. I would like to know what some of the other people think about this. I think it is wrong and it should be stopped.

some lighter bills, like naming Nov. 9th as Stars & Stripes Day to honor our armed forces, and July 7th as Missouri Sliced Bread Day to help Chillicothe with tourism. Chillicothe was where bread sliced by a machine was first developed. And we passed a bill that increases the penalties for those pesky telemarketers bothering folks on the No Call List.

If you would like a complete list of the bills passed by the House so far, email me at J.Eggleston@house.mo.gov.

These bills are but a fraction of the total number of bills filed.

This session, House members filed 1,341 bills representing 1,341 ideas for making Missouri better. Not all of them are good ideas, though, and only about a third of them have even left the starting gate.

I have often been asked how I can read so many bills. The answer is I don’t since there is no need to read bills that have no hope of advancing. But members do (or should) read all of the bills that are either sent to a committee they serve on or to the full House floor for debate. I will usually read a few hundred bills per session. Only about 100 or so will eventually become law.

The 73 bills that I mentioned that were passed by the House still have to be taken up and passed by the Senate and signed by the governor before they can become law. And, of course, the Senate has been busy during the first half of session passing a few dozen of their bills that the House will address when we return from break.

I am looking forward to a second half of session that is as equally productive as the first.

The real life Calamity Jane she helped sick and injured folks who needed help finding their next meal. It was those wild wanderings, raising hell, riding horses, shooting pistols and being thrown in jail that helped sell newspapers.

Ed Wheeler of Philadelphia read the stories in the western newspapers and made Calamity his heroine in dime novels.

She became the side-kick of fictitious Deadwood Dick. That’s how Calamity Jane got to be famous ...not because of her humanitarianism but because she had an ‘exciting’ reputation. Because of this, they called her the ‘Plain Jane of the Prairies’ and named her ‘Calamity Jane’. The name stuck.

This docudrama doesn’t ignore her wearing men’s clothing, swearing, chewing, smoking, drinking, hell raising, getting thrown in jail and being a prostitute. But, it will include some of the reasons for these erratic ways. It explains why she was illiterate and will introduce you to her terrible parents.

Those who attend will learn of

the dangerous trip when the Canary family moved from Princeton to Montana, and how Martha became an orphan at age 11, having to take care of her four younger siblings.

Calamity was an industrious ranch and railroad worker, an excellent marksman, a competent driver of mule and oxen teams, and a proficient horseback rider when such activities were considered scandalous for women.

Although illiterate, what’s even more remarkable was her ability to tell stories to large audiences. She had a book prepared about her life, most of which was not true but helped her make money. Her talents, virtues and traits were considered equal to if

not superior to those of men.

If you attend the docudrama you’ll receive a copy of her autobiography that includes a song summarizing her life.

Calamity had two children.

Her son, ‘Little Calamity,’ died in infancy but daughter Jessie grew to adulthood. Liquor was Calamity Jane’s downfall and at age 47 she died near Deadwood, SD, and was buried next to “Wild Bill” Hickok.

See how this pioneer demonstrated independence, continually overcomng difficulties during her short life. Perhaps she should have been called ‘Miraculous Martha’ because of her difficult childhood and living alone in such a harsh, unsettled land.

Daviess County Century Farm Agriculture felt that the best way to plan involvement and carry out successful Bicentennial activities was at the local level.

Plans were made to form county agricultural emphasis bicentennial committees.

In January 1975, area extension specialists designated as the “agriculturalists” were mailed the procedures for organizing county agricultural emphasis committees. The procedure called for the “agriculturalist” to meet with a nominating committee consisting of members of county farm organizations and appoint a county agricultural emphasis committee. The purpose of the county committees was to give leadership in seeing that agriculture had its appropriate place in American Revolution Bicentennial historical, festival and horizon activities. Agriculture should be an important part of overall ARB activities.

On June 1, 1975, the Missouri

Committee for Agriculture-ARB hired Jerri Sloan, an agriculture journalism graduate, to assume full-time responsibilities as the committee secretary. Her office was housed with the agriculture editors on the University of Missouri-Columbia campus. Agricultural editor at the time, Dick Lee, devoted much time and support to the committee’s efforts.

The Centennial Farm project awards certificates to persons owning farms that had been in the same family for 100 years or more. A total of 2,850 Missouri farm owners in 105 of Missouri’s 114 counties were recognized as Centennial Farm owners.

Interest in the program continued after 1976. Several Missouri farm owners asked about having their farms recognized, so the University of Missouri College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources and University of Missouri Extension planned a 10-year update in 1986 called

the “Century Farm” program.

During this update, 1,080 farms were recognized.

Long-term family farm owners who were not able to take part in the 1976 or 1986 events still wanted recognition, so the College and MU Extension planned for annual updates.

Since 1987, an additional 5,504 farms have been recognized. The program has continued with 100 or more farms being recognized each year.

Daviess County law enforcement recognized for SAFE Kit completion

911 still talking to commissioners about funds Gene Walker and Dana Carder advised the 911 Board about their recent meeting with the Daviess County Commissioners in regards to their decision not to “subsidize” Daviess County Central revenue in 2019. The 911 board argued that the money received in past years from Daviess County was not a subsidy, but was instead a reimbursement for services rendered.

Walker and Carder will meet with the commissioners again in six months to provide them a report of MULES and servicesrendered costs.

The treasurer’s report was accepted by the board with bills of $7,465.51; revenue of $33,062; and a checkbook balance of $147,850.84.

A five-year CD deposit of $60,000 was approved.

Supervisor Carder advised that the generator and battery back-up were still not completely fixed, even though she has been advised all the parts are in. A board member agreed to speak to the repairman.

During board member comments, Joyce Eads extended appreciation to all employees for their hard work, long shifts, extra hours, and dedication during the numerous severe weather events that took place over the course of the winter.

The above are the unapproved minutes of the Daviess County Central 911 Board meeting held on Feb. 28. Present were Gene Walker, John Sullenger, Todd Watson, Daniel Wilson, Joyce Eads and Ronetta Burton.

Absent was Kate Chrisman. Also present was Supervisor Dana Carder.

Just two weeks after he announced his SAFE Kit Initiative to eliminate the backlog of untested sexual assault kits, Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt presented the Law Enforcement Community Partner Award to Daviess County Sheriff Ben Becerra and Gallatin Police Chief Christopher Richards, as well as other law enforcement officials, for completing 100% of their inventory of untested sexual assault kits.

“In order to clear out the backlog of untested sexual assault kits in Missouri through the SAFE Kit initiative, cooperation from law enforcement is absolutely essential,” said AG Schmitt.

“Numerous counties and jurisdictions have been more than helpful in ensuring the success of this initiative. I want to thank them for their cooperation, and I look forward to working with law enforcement across the state in

the coming months.”

Attorney General Schmitt launched his SAFE Kit Initiative on Feb. 27, and appointed Judge M. Keithley Williams to spearhead the initiative. Since then, Judge Williams has worked tirelessly with law enforcement, healthcare officials, victim advocates, and more to effectively address the backlog of untested sexual assault kits in Missouri.

Through their cooperation with Judge Williams and the Attorney General’s Office, various law enforcement agencies have been presented with the Law Enforcement Community Partner award.

This means that the county or precinct named in the award has completed 100% of their inventory.

The Attorney General’s Office will also commend hospitals for their cooperation as well with a separate award.

Pattonsburg teen in crash on Route F Results of DWI saturation in Daviess & Dekalb counties by highway patrol Captain James E. McDonald, commanding officer of Troop H, St. Joseph, announces the results of a DWI saturation conducted in Daviess and Dekalb counties.

The saturation was held from 7 p.m. on March 16, 2019, to 3 a.m. on March 17, 2019. During this enforcement operation, four officers patrolled Daviess and Dekalb counties with a goal of detecting impaired drivers and other traffic violations that contribute to traffic crashes. As a result, there was one arrest for driving while intoxicated, 20 traffic citations issued, and 34 warn-

ings given.

“Impaired driving poses a significant threat to motorists on Missouri’s roadways,” stated Captain McDonald. “One of the Missouri State Highway Patrol’s highest priorities is removing the impaired driver from our roadways.

Juan Hughes, 17, Pattonsburg, received minor injuries in a one-vehicle accident that happened at about 4 p.m. on March 14 in Harrison County.

According to the state patrol, Juan was driving a 2009 Pontiac G6 southbound on Route W. About one mile north of Route F, which is four miles northwest of Bethany, he began to slide on the roadway.

Juan’s vehicle crossed the

center line, traveled off the west side of the roadway and overturned several times before coming to rest on its top, facing northeast.

Juan, who was wearing his seat belt, was transported to Harrison County Community Hospital by NTA Ambulance.

The Pontiac was totaled.

The accident was investigated by Tpr. Q.R. McConkey, assisted by Harrison County.

Plans announced for 15th Annual Holiday Hoops at NCMC

Bulldog golfers greet spring at Orrick Tournament In the words of Gallatin High School Head Golf Coach Chad Sullenger, “this has been the worst start to a golf season I can remember.” That may have summed up the feeling of his five varsity golfers who huddled together against a stiff wind for a team photo on Tuesday.

The Bulldogs open their season today (Wednesday) at the Orrick Tournament, held annually in

Richmond. So far, Sullenger said, the team has had only one day in which they could shoot a 9-hole practice round due to wet course conditions. The Bulldogs will hope for even warmer weather on Thursday when they travel to Maysville.

This year’s team, with Coach Sullenger, are from left, Hayden Jumps, Riley Holmes, Owen Schweizer, Justice Fry and Haden Bradford.

Taxpayers have responsibility to report property additions, changes According to Daviess County Assessor Sally Black, Daviess County property owners must report the following to the assessor’s office: • e homes and uildings • Buildings remo ed, torn down or damaged by fire or natural disaster • Additions to a house or buildings or a complete remodel of a home • Mo ile homes • inishing o a asement or attic area (adding living space to your home) • Adding a deck, patio, garage, or large stone retaining walls to your property • hange o address mail ing and residential) • e to the county so you can be assessed if you have personal property) If a new structure does not get reported and the assessor misses getting it picked up, it will not be on the assessment roll, which makes every taxpayer pay more than his fair share in taxes. If you tear something down and do not report it, you are paying more than your fair share.

Please call your assessor’s

office to report any changes to your property. Also call if you are new to the county to report your address so that you can be sent a personal property assessment sheet.

The office number to call and report this information is 660663-3300 ext. 1.

The last day of school at Winston R-6 will be May 29 as long as no more school is missed.

Winston will continue to try and run as many gravel roads as possible, but there are some roads the buses have had to stop driving on for fear of getting stuck. Please continue to be patient and work with bus drivers on the best way to get students to and from school.

The Winston School Board and Winston High School are proud to announce the start of a one to one computer program for students in grades 7-12.

Students will have the opportunity to use a Chrome book issued by the school both at school and at home. Students will pay a $25 insurance fee and sign a user agreement prior to a machine being issued.

This is a chance for the school to give students some of the most current technology available to enhance their education and prepare them for future success in the workplace. *****

Plans were announced last Friday for the 15th Annual High School Holiday Hoops, sponsored by North Central Missouri College Foundation, Inc. A total of 9 days are planned for the 2019 event, with some of those offering a half-day of play due to schools still in session and inconsistent breaks for holidays by school systems.

The event will tip off Saturday, Dec. 14 with a full day of games, and will resume on Dec. 19-20, with the number of games on those days yet to be determined. There will be 8 games each day, Dec. 21, 23, 27, 28, 30 and 31.

Holiday Hoops Director Steve Maxey says the steering committee hopes to scale back the length of the event as well as the number of games, due to the placement of the Christmas holiday during the middle of the

week, and the fact that the event has grown so large.

“It is anticipated that the number of schools wanting to participate will continue to grow, so the committee has some real challenges ahead of them, but a good problem to have,” says Maxey.

All games will once again be played on the campus of North Central Missouri College in Trenton and the event will continue to be sanctioned by the Missouri State High School Activities Association and neighboring state associations. Contracts will soon be in the mail to schools requesting contracts and officials expect to see teams from across Missouri and adjoining states for what has become the largest high school holiday shoot-out in the state, if not the Midwest.

Jeremy Esry named NJCAA District 13 Coach of the Year Penney High School alum Jeremy Esry has been named 2018-19 Coach of the Year for NJCAA District 13 after guiding the North Central Missouri College Pirates to the NJCAA Division II National Championship Tournament, final round of 16 teams.

Esry was also picked as NJCAA Region 16 Coach of the Year The Pirates defeated Arkansas State Mid-South, 73-67, to earn the District 13 title and played Tuesday in the NJCAA National Tournament in Danville, IL, where they lost, 96-66, to top-seeded Kirkwood Community College , Cedar Rapids, IA. NCMC will play today (Wednesday) at 3 p.m. against #9 Wake Tech, Raleigh, NC, as the Pirates make a run toward this Saturday’s 7th place game.

Esry, in his third season as head coach at NCMC, guided his team to an 18-13 record to go with previous seasons of 1810 and 17-11. This was his sixth

overall season at NCMC. He has also coached at Peru State College and served as a graduate assistant at Central Methodist University, where he played for two seasons after transferring from NCMC.

As Solomon was assuming the throne after David's death, the Lord directed Solomon to make a request of Him. Solomon asked for wisdom. God was happy to grant his request. Late in his reign, Solomon wrote many wise sayings which are published in the book of Proverbs. Not all of Proverbs is attributed to Solomon but most of it is. The initial section of Proverbs begins by describing distinct differences between wisdom and foolishness. Folly is pictured as coming in secret, lying in wait. Wisdom is seen as raising her voice, calling out loud in the crowded street.

Proverbs 1:20-33 marks the beginning of Wisdom's calling out to those who are in desperate need of wisdom. I suggest you read the entire passage now. God asks some interesting questions there, "How long, O naive ones, will you love being simpleminded? And scoffers delight themselves in scoffing And fools hate knowledge? The idea seems to be that there are at least three groups of people who are in dire need of wisdom: the simple ones, the mockers, and the fools/sinners. He also gives some wise instruction that if followed will correct the problem: 1:23 "Turn to my reproof, Behold, I will pour out my spirit on you; I will make my words known to you. 24 "Because I called and you refused, I stretched out my hand and no one paid attention; 25 And you neglected all my counsel And did not want my reproof; 26 I will also laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your dread comes. (NASU) A study of the Hebrew word translated “simple ones” reveals that being dull, naïve, seducible is what is meant. It seems that simple ones are too lazy to put forth the effort to find the truth. The “mockers” appear to be those who scoff, make fun, and laugh in derision at the truth. The mockers are unable to hold their tongues. It is more important to them to be the class clown, the star of the show, to deflect attention away from their mistakes and toward their self-proclaimed wit. The “fools” must be those who have an intellectual understanding but willingly reject the truth. They know what is wise and right, but they consciously choose that which is wrong because they believe they know best. They would like to remain in charge of their own lives. I suspect that if each of us is honest with ourselves that each one of us would have to conclude that we have at one time or another found ourselves in each of these three categories. Please heed the warning. This passage concludes by telling us that we will eat the fruit of it. In other words, we will reap what we sow. Hopefully, we just visited and did not take up residence in any of those places.

As fallen, sinful, selfish, arrogant, corrupted people we engage in all sorts of self-destructive behaviors. Rejecting wisdom is not the least of our problems. It is amazing that we do reject wisdom, but we certainly do. We tend to live our lives with a

Flood Stage is 26 feet.

As most people realize, Mr. Roll notes, the ground is already pretty saturated and is not going to dry up anytime soon. ast summer e aced e treme drought conditions and this winter has been both colder and more wet than we have had in the last few years. Hopefully some of that snow will have soaked into the soil despite the deep, frozen ground we have had this winter.

b y T i m B ak er, H o rt i cul t ure S p eci al i st

In my last column, I discussed some of the major decision points in evaluating storm damage to trees. I mentioned that especially when safety issues are involved, it would be good to use the service of a professional arborist, who has the knowledge and tools to deal with the situation.

But often the damage is minor, and the homeowner may opt to take care of the tree without professional assistance. That’s fine, and this week, I would like to mention a few pointers that may help you as you restore the tree.

The first place to start is safety. Don’t take risks. Think things through before you make any cuts. Consider not only what you are doing to the tree, but also your own safety.

Think about the shape of the tree and the need for balance.

Also remember that your pruning should be done for the health of the tree. If limb breaks, for example, are left in place, they will provide possible entryways for insects and diseases.

If there is a lot of wood to be removed, start with the obvious problems and remove them first.

In really severe cases, there may be large broken branches to deal with. If the breaks are out on the branch some distance, you may be able to leave the branch and prune at the break. But if the break is close to the trunk of the tree, you may need to remove the entire branch.

When you cut an entire branch off, it’s wise to make two cuts, especially for a large branch.

The first cut should be out some distance from the trunk, and the second cut will be at the trunk.

For the cut away from the trunk, first make a cut underneath the branch, about onethird of the way through the branch. Then cut down from the top to meet the underneath cut.

If you just cut straight from the top, there is a tendency for the limb to fall, taking a strip of bark down the trunk of the tree with it.

By cutting from the underneath side first, it helps eliminate this problem.

Next, you’ll make the cut at the trunk. But don’t make the cut flush with the trunk of the tree. Come out at least an inch or so, and make your cut there.

That way, the branch collar will still be intact, and if the tree is healthy, it can grow new tissue and repair the pruning cut.

What about using pruning compounds on the cut? Gener-

ally, horticulturists do not advise using them. They are not necessary, and may even slow down the healing process in some instances.

Likewise, you sometimes see people using concrete in damaged parts of the tree, to fill in missing wood. Again, we like to discourage this practice. As the concrete ages, there will be cracks and gaps that develop.

This is a good place for water to get in, and because the concrete is there, it can’t dry out. This is another good situation for the growth of disease.

Sometimes, people want to take drastic measures to save their tree. One time, I had a call after a bad ice storm from another specialist. The client in his county had a tree where the trunk had split evenly. He was wondering if he could somehow tighten up the tree to close the gap, and then put a large metal band of some sort to keep the tree together.

Again, I discouraged this idea.

While the bark might eventually grow together, the wood inside the tree will never bond. In other words, the split would remain, and not heal. Eventually, the metal band would decay, and you would be back to the same problem, with perhaps disastrous results. And that brings me back to my initial point. Be safe. In all your decisions, think safety, not only initially, as you cut the tree, but also on down the road as the tree ages.

Cribb celebrates 35 years at agency Longtime employee Debbie Cribb recently celebrated her 35th anniversary with co-workers at Community Action Partnership of North Central Missouri (CAPNCM). Debbie began working at CAPNCM on March 12, 1984, and has been with the agency in various roles since then.

Co-worker Linda Baugher had nothing but praise for her fellow employee: “Debbie has been a valued employee of CAPNCM for 35 years and we want to thank her for her many talents and dedication in serving the people of North Central Missouri. Debbie has been a devoted member of our team through the many changes at CAPNCM. Join us in celebrating Debbie’s accomplishments!” ***** “In the spring, I have counted 136 different kinds of weather inside of 24 hours.”

Gallatin man leaves scene of accident

Justin J. Rainey, 25, Gallatin, was arrested March 16 after a one-vehicle crash on Missouri 190 at Major Avenue in Daviess County.

According to the probable cause statement, the reporting party said that a gray car had crashed into his fence and later left the scene after being pulled out of the ditch. Damage to the fence included six strands of barbed wire, one metal t-post and one hedge post.

Trooper M. Neely located Rainey’s 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix on Lilac Avenue, Gallatin, parked on the property behind an outbuilding. The vehicle had damage to the front and driver’s side consistent with the crash on Missouri 190, and the hood was still warm to the touch.

Rainey was located inside the residence. He has been charged with possession of controlled substance, D felony, and misdemeanors of careless and imprudent driving, leaving scene of an accident, and DWI.

All Shopko stores will now be closing

Due to documents filed in U.S. Bankruptcy Court on March 18, Shopko will be going into liquidation and will close all of its remaining locations by June.

The closing of the Gallatin and Trenton stores was announced in February. Gallatin will be closing around May 5; Trenton will close around May 12.

The Green Bay, Wisconsinbased retailer filed for a courtsupervised financial restructuring under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in January. ***** People who fly into a rage always make a bad landing. ~ Will Rogers

G H S dram a students encounter del icious history

‘Life is Like a Double Cheeseburger’ relives the downtown loop Do you remember the days you ran around Gallatin, driving the loop south down Main Street around the Tasty Freeze then back up around the square… stopping to eat at the place with the wonderful malts, the cheeseburgers in wax paper and huge tenderloins -- the place where all the kids hung out after school?

The Gallatin Publishing Company recently received an inquiry from the Gallatin Drama Club asking for information about restaurants that used to operate in town. The newspaper reposted the letter on the “Gallatin, What Do You Remember?” social media page, thus stirring up a lot of memories to share with the students.

Michelle Anthuis, drama teacher and Library Media Specialist at Gallatin R-5, says the Drama Club is paying homage by naming a few scenes in a play after local restaurants. This includes Shakey’s Place, Starlight, Saddle Post and Pat’s Family Diner (all four once located in the building now housing Joe Jump’s); and also PJ’s & Company, the Koffee Kup, Whitt’s Dinner Bell Café, Seasons on the Square, Woodruff Ice Cream, McDonald’s Tea Room, Mi Mexico and Grand and Market.

Now the drama students are engaged writing up short histories on each of these eateries, including any pictures they discover.

Gallatin Drama Club prepare backdrops for the upcoming play after asking if anyone had any old copies of logos of former restaurants.

Two restaurants currently in business are also mixed into the play.

Signs of times past include this wall plaque above and a used match packet boasting an unusual combination of specialities.

The school play is called “Life is Like a Double Cheeseburger”

by Flip and Finn Kobler (produced by special arrangement with Pioneer Drama Service, Inc., Denver, CO). It is really 16 mini-scenes all set in a variety of restaurants — some fine dining, others fast food.

“We’re just paying homage to our hometown and history by naming the restaurants in each scene after a local one in our town’s history or in business today,” Ms. Anthuis noted. This involves scene names only; the content of the play itself will have no connection to local history.

Public performances of the play will take place in the Courter Theater during the evenings of April 5-6. Exact times are to be announced, but plan for around 6 p.m. Cost is $5 per seat at the door. Also scheduled are performances for students only during school day hours on April 4-5.

Gallatin Drama Club has 15 actors on stage with four other students working behind the scenes. These students are in grades 8-12.

The Drama Club selected only a few restaurants for play focus but people responding to their inquiry remembered many

more local eateries -Bonnie Bird’s, Yuille’s Café, Tasty Freeze (by the skating rink), El Adobe, Mundell’s Drive In, Linville’s Lakeview, Danny Dixon’s Breadeux Pisa, Grogg’s, Mama’s Recipe, Karen’s Cake Castle, Frosty and Helen Barlow’s Tastee-Freeze, Westside Café, Shay’s Place, Kalani’s (in the old locker), the Drew’s Ray Home Bed & Breakfast, Lynch’s/Dungy’s Deli, the diners inside Woodruff Hotel and Elbert’s Hotel, Gallatin Drive-In (where Plaza Apartments stand now), Y-Kate’s (in the Swofford Auction building by the post office), Gallatina (with car hops), Spuds or Glennie’s …to name a few more.

Ms. Anthuis says many high school students didn’t know too much about Gallatin’s culinary history when they began the project. Besides gaining theatrical experience, the play has prompted research which proved to be a fun and historical lesson.
