James L. Ruse honored by state administrators

James L. Ruse, Gallatin High School Superintendent from 1990 to 2010, was recently honored by the Missouri Association of School Administrators (MASA) for his service to public education. Ruse was one of eight former educators to receive the association’s Outstanding Emeritus Educator Award. This special recognition was made during the awards banquet at the MASA Spring Conference on April 4 at The Lodge of Four Seasons at Lake Ozark.

MASA presents the award annually to recognize individuals for their length of administrative service, their participation in MASA while an active member, significant accomplishments as a school administrator and for their continued interest in public education since retiring. Ruse was nominated for the award by his colleagues in the Northwest MASA District.

Jim completes 44 years of service this spring. In addition to his 20 years at the helm of Gallatin R-5, he has most recently

Compassion shows

by Freida Marie Crump

Learning from Legos® Brynjar Karl Birgisson, who lives in Iceland, built the world’s largest Titanic ship replica using only Legos®. The 26’ long and 5’ wide model is on display at the Titanic Museum Attraction in Pigeon Forge, TN. Birgisson’s ambitious idea took 56,000 Legos®, 11 months and 700 hours to complete.

What makes this feat truly newsworthy is that Brynjar has autism. He built the model with the help of his mother and grandfather when he was 10 years old.

Now 15, Brynjar has spent the last five years following the replica around the world as it travels to different exhibits.

So, sure, it’s Autism Month.

Brynjar deserves our attention for what we might learn about autism. We applaud what he’s accomplished. But he’s not telling us when you’re supposed to tear the Legos® apart.

A good part of last weekend was spent explaining to my grandkids why we tear Legos® apart. It’s a matter of perspective, of course, and a hard fact to accept: What goes up must come down.

Yes, it took hours to make the car wash-castle wall-family house with interlocking sidewalks to the half-finished fort with all the windows for the two little Lego® men that lost their heads but still can be seated in the 10-wheel boxcar with the cracked clear block windshield.

Especially if you’re sensitive to

color coordination.

But Legos® are meant to be pulled apart as much as put together. What goes up must come down. This is a hard lesson to learn, that you and even something you “create” is not the center of the universe that endures forever. But this point spoken somehow is not so grandiose:

O the E itor s S ike

by Darryl Wilkinson

“You just can’t expect the expansive creation built on the dining room table two weeks ago to still be there when you next come visit.” Or can you?

What would Brynjar say?

There’s something foundational about Legos®. I used to think that it was mostly about bricklaying technique, teaching little tikes the strength in overlaying seams rather than just stacking pieces on top of each other which makes them more likely to tumble.

It’s that and more.

Actually, who am I to talk?

I didn’t make it to the recent Lego® exhibit at KC’s Union Station like my grandkids. I didn’t even have Legos® growing up — Lincoln Logs and some ge-

More about Captain Black’s family...

Last week’s column confused two separate Black families while focusing on America’s first nuclear submarine commander, Captain Robert G. Black of Gallatin.

Comdr. Black was the son of Mr. and Mrs. R.N. Black of Gallatin.

Sarah Dowell of Gallatin points to a photograph of the Captain’s parents and the family’s history which appears on page 255 of the book, The History of Daviess County (1985). This history was written by the Captain’s sister, Christine Minnick. A portion reads as follows: “During my parents retirement years they continued feeding livestock and planted large gardens to share with all their children and their families. Their six grandchildren thoroughly enjoyed riding in the back of grandad’s pickup and circling past Woodruff ’s Ice Cream Parlor to all enjoy ice cream cones on the way to grandma’s house.

Mother passed away in August 1960 and dad in July 1964. All of their children discuss many happy childhood experiences we had in Daviess County and we’re proud that ‘our roots were established there.’”

Mrs. Dowell’s memories of the Black family relate to her working at a local bank in 1947-49. She recalls how the Black family raised hogs, calves and chickens on land facing South Prospect (east of Clint Vanatta’s residence today). This memory coincides perfectly with the family’s account written in the history book.

Jean Caldwell of Gallatin also comments, remembering how the Captain’s father once bought the feed mill (commonly called the old Owings Mill just north of today’s Presbyterian Church). Jean recalls the Black family since the Captain’s sister, Kathleen, was her fourth grade teacher at Whitt Country School.

Last week’s column mentioned a different Black family which resided in the Winston community and was involved with the Winston coal mine. This family is not to be confused with the Captain’s family.

We continue researching details about the life of Captain Black and welcome further comments and insights.

neric “Lego®” blocks that didn’t exactly fit tightly is all I can muster from memory (you do notice the “®” with the name, right?).

But odds are, if you’re born since 1932, you know all about Legos®.

The toy company based in Billund, Denmark, and founded

by Ole Kirk Christiansen, is best known for the manufacture of interlocking plastic bricks. Certainly Ole Kirk knew he created an educational toy designed to inspire. But as the world plunged into the Great Depression, who would have thought Legos® would develop worldwide into various products, games, spectator competitions, videos and even full-length feature movies?

It is estimated that more than 400 billion Lego® bricks have been produced since 1958 (that’s about 62 Lego® bricks per person of the earth’s population in 2008)! The company’s website reports how approximately 19 billion Lego® elements are produced per year, how 2.16 million are molded every hour. That’s 36,000 pieces every minute!

The grandson of Ole Kirk is worth an estimated $5.9 billion, according to the Bloomberg ranking (Legos® even teaches why we must add the “®” with the name).

Whew! You’d think with all that we’d each have our fair share. But life is not fair, and sharing is a big problem right now between our grandkids.

Most of the spats between our little chaps concern territorial rights — who got what piece first, why the long, extended piece should be used here rather than over there, who gets the only available brush set that inevitably becomes the envied “car wash.” Much of life is negotiation. We’re learning that whoever wins isn’t always just the one that yells the loudest.

Yes, it’s a challenge finding ways to allure kids away from video games — our grandkids even fight over whose turn it is to play with old, broken cell phones (especially the one smart phone gone dumb but still lights up).

And I’m not saying that Legos® on our dining room table never set idle and ignored. But I also know how the bright colors and the idea of building something good beckon, even to old grandpas like me. Wholesome doesn’t have to mean boring.

It’s not unusual to find Legos® on our dining room table for weeks at a time. These little pieces of life are welcomed in our empty nest, reminders of good times past and promises of family times to come, Lord willing. (continued on page 3)

Greetings from the Poosey.

Isabelle Pieri’s mother died two years ago. Her father has been trying hard to be both a father and mother to the 11-year-old, but sometimes he just can’t get all the bases covered. One thing he could never quite manage was doing her hair every morning. In fact, at one point he simply had to give her a haircut, being unable to untangle his daughter’s curls. Then one day Isabelle saw her school bus driver braiding the hair of another student and asked if she could be next. Now the little girl and the bus driver have a regular morning appointment. Tracy Dean, the bus driver said, “I found out that I had breast cancer, and that’s one of the things that went through my head. Who’s going to take care of my little ones?”

In spite of what cable news tells you tonight, people are pretty darned good.

Last year a mosque in Victoria, Texas, was burned to the ground.

Local churches and synagogues provided space for the congregation to meet while a million dollars was raised online to build a new mosque.

Meanwhile ISIS in Mosul damaged a Catholic church so their Christian and Muslim neighbors pitched in to restore the church. Yep, no matter what you hear, people are pretty good.

A church in Carrollton, Texas, usually spends $100,000 on commercial advertising. Last week they changed their minds and paid off the medical debt of 4,229 families and veterans. The debts could be purchased for a fraction of their worth so the total debt forgiven topped $10 million.

Sesame Place, an amusement park in Philadelphia, became the world’s first recipient of certification for autism accommodation as the venue offered quiet rooms and sensory guides so parents can plan their visits. All the staff members have become certified in autism sensitivity training.

It had been little Alli’s dream to visit the Magic Kingdom in Disney World so her grandma made it happen, even buying a special princess dress for Alli to wear that day. As soon as she stepped through the gates of the kingdom, a burly security guard walked up to her and asked for her autograph. His autograph book was filled with squiggles of young princesses over the years.

Many stores are visited by a Secret Santa or two around Christmas. But a guy only identified as Charlie K. walked into a New Jersey Toys R Us and paid for all the toys on layaway, totally over $10,000. Don’t tell me the world is going in the wrong direction. He said, “I just love my community and wanted to do something.”

The blood donation centers hadn’t even opened yet on the day after the Las Vegas shooting and the lines of donors were already stretching around the block.

Harold Holland and Lillian Barnes got divorced 50 years ago.

Harold said, “It was my fault ... just too devoted to my work schedule.” Both remarried, both lost their second spouses, and last Saturday the couple remarried after 50 years. Harold said, “We could have eloped, but our kids wouldn’t have allowed that.”

Adrian Charpentier, 78, must carry around an oxygen tent to breathe. He has a great deal of trouble using his hands. When he sat at the counter of the Waffle House in La Marque, Texas, he couldn’t cut his ham. So, 18-year-old waitress Evoni Williams leaned over the counter and cut it for him. Another customer was touched by the action so she took a picture of what was happening and posted it online. The photo went viral and was noticed by representatives from Texas Southern University who showed up with a check for $16,000 in scholarship money. Williams had been struggling to save up money to attend college. She’s now enrolled.

Samari Izadi Page arrived in Dallas as a refugee from Iran. She and her family were immediately taken in by the Wilshire Baptist Church and set up in a fully furnished apartment. That was 1999.

Today Samira is a priest in the Episcopal Church and has started Gateway of Grace, an organization that serves 2,000 refugees a year.

A member of her congregation said, “These people are fleeing the same types of things that make us all afraid.”

The stories are out there. They seem to multiply as the woes of the planet grow larger. It’s a strange, strange world when the citizens show more compassion and wisdom than their leaders.

You ever ‘round Poosey, stop by. We may not answer the door but you’ll enjoy the trip.

Why do they think they can get away with it?

Eric Greitens’ sex scandal prompted a journalism editor to ask me why some politicians are so arrogant that they think they can get away with improper shenanigans. It was a good question.

What makes a public official think “you can get away with it” given the history of political careers destroyed by misbehavior?

In recent years, a Missouri House speaker, former Democratic House leader and House Insurance Committee chair were forced to resign because of sexual-related scandals.

Add to that the earlier history of criminal convictions and investigations of Missouri public officials for illegal activities.

The question of “getting away with it” involves a much broader context beyond cheating on one’s spouse or committing a crime.

The phrase suggests any action one wants to keep private for fear of personal, political or legal consequences.

My definition would include taking undisclosed money from secret donors, pushing issues to pander to special interests, lying about intentions, and using taxpayer money for political propaganda.

Every year I see legislative action on bills with little chance of ultimate passage, but which provide an opportunity for some lawmakers to demonstrate support for the causes of special interests with deep pockets or political clout. One possible explanation for this attitude is the corrupting influence of the political environment.

I’ve seen some officials develop an arrogance of power after years of being pandered

to by lobbyists and special interests. But I’ve also seen a completely opposite reaction from others as they’ve matured in the legislative process, such as Sen. Rob Schaaf, R-St. Joseph. He has emerged as the legislature’s leading voice against corruption from special interest money.

Missouri’s current governor is another demonstration that seniority is not the complete answer. Although a newbie to government, on his first day in office by Phill Greitens demonstrated Broo s a disregard for accountability to the public. He announced an order to ban state workers taking money from lobbyists, but then a foundation quickly was established with secret funding sources to promote his agenda.

Under Greitens, digital apps were used to delete staff communication, staff were required to sign non-disclosure agreements and a lock was installed on the communications office that had been open to reporters for decades.

Another possibility I considered to my friend’s question was that many in public office are “alpha” personalities willing to expose themselves to public attack and ridicule to win public office.

Maybe it’s a personality that makes them more likely to take risks of public exposure.

But that answer doesn’t work either because I’ve found some of the alpha personalities

I’ve covered to be the most honest, candid and principled officials I’ve covered. They include successful state leaders like Warren Hearnes, Jack Danforth, George Lehr and Mel Carnahan.

As an aside, you’d be mistaken if you think our state’s “alpha” leaders were only males.

The state’s first female House Speaker, Catherine Hannaway, was a hard-driving leader who put together the plan for Republicans to capture control of the Missouri House.

State Sen. Harriet Woods was an alpha in achieving some of the state’s most major legislative issues and then becoming the state’s first female lieutenant governor.

So, an alpha personality doesn’t explain the self-destructive behavior my journalist friend asked me about.

After weeks of continuing to ponder that question, the concept of enablers came to mind.

In the political environment, enablers are uncritical staffers, lobbyists, allies, colleagues and special interests who tell public officials what they want to hear with little or no words of opposition. As I think back on it, many of the public officials I’ve covered who sought “to get away with it” had been surrounded by these kind enablers.

Maybe it’s the persistent non-critical encouragement and “stroking” by enablers that ultimately leads to a sense of entitlement and immunity from consequence. But, ultimately, I wonder if I’m trying to find too simple an answer for why people lie, cheat or commit crimes without fear of consequence -- whether public officials or private citizens.

Capitol Perspectives

S en. McCaskill urg es g ov ernor to resig n...

U.S. Senator Claire McCaskill (D-MO) released the following statement on the Missouri House of Representatives investigation into Governor Eric Greitens: “I have read the official report from the Republican led Missouri House investigation, including the sworn testimony. It is clearly time to put the interests of the people of Missouri first. The Governor should resign.”

E dit o r’ s n o t e: Phill Brooks has b een a Missouri statehouse reporter since 1 9 7 0 , making him dean of the statehouse press corps. He is the statehouse correspondent for K MO X R adio, director of MDN and an emeritus faculty memb er of the Missouri School of Journalism.

MASA honors Jim Ruse (continued from page 2 ) served eight years as assistant superintendent at Chillicothe R-2 (2010-2018). He also served five years as superintendent at Fairfax R-3 (1985-1990), nine years as principal at Northeast Nodaway (1976-1985), and taught two years at Northeast Nodaway (1974-1976).

He has three degrees from Northwest Missouri State University at Maryville, B.S Ed., MS Ed, and Spec. in Ed. Jim and his wife Sheila reside in rural Gallatin. Sheila is retired from Social Security with 33 years service. They have two daughters.

Spike: Legos®

(continued from page 2 )

This, too, will pass. It’s an experiment in progress. So far, it’s working. We don’t have to scream over the TV or use a timer to determine when a turn on a video game ends. So far, we don’t have to coax. One of us just sits down and starts assembling a few building blocks. The next one to join may be an adult or kid — it doesn’t matter. Just make sure there’s a chair waiting for each new participant, sit back and watch the chairs fill up.

After all, great things come by little steps.

This past weekend I overheard a little comment of Titanic proportion. A 4-year-old actually complimented the “something” his little 3-year-old cousin built without adult prompting — and then even bragged about his older brother being the real Lego® master! Yes, it’s a little step. But it’s hope for the future, perhaps developing far better and beyond our current “Me” generation.

So, if you worry about raising click addicts, make space for some building blocks, Legos® or otherwise. Let it take center stage — extend the dining room table to its full length.

Plan. Push important things, like serving a meal a certain way at the proper time, aside. The priorities you pick are noticed. Be generous, especially with your time. If you’re using Legos® in your experiment, then beg, buy or borrow enough so that the pieces cover the entire table top before allowing anyone to get started. It’s not about you.

Understand, you’re going to spend most all your time saving the vacuum cleaner from picking up all those little pieces that busy elbows push off to the floor. But you’re not wasting your time. Action speaks louder than words.

Just ask Brynjar.

Avoiding a trade war

by Co n g res s man S am G rav es

China recently announced that they would retaliate for tariffs imposed by the United States by placing tariffs of their own on some of our goods. Soybeans, pork, and frozen beef could all take a hit as a result of retaliation from China.

A trade war where China targets American agriculture isn’t good for North Missouri at all.

Trade keeps the economic engine of North Missouri running by giving farmers more opportunities to feed the world. This is why I have always supported free trade.

There is no doubt that our trade deals need to be fair. We need to make sure that the trade deals we currently have are the best deals. However, we must make sure that the benefits of actions we take with other countries outweigh the cost. Fair trade doesn’t mean no trade.

In fact, we need to open up even more markets. That’s why I sent a letter last month to the United States Trade Representative asking him to

do just that. New markets benefit our farmers as does expanded access to existing markets around the world.

We should be working to increase trade, not decrease it.

Most of the benefits we receive from our current trade deals are seen in the agriculture sector. In an attempt to fix issues in other sectors, we must make sure that agriculture isn’t the one taking the hit.

That being said, I support the President’s right to go after bad actors. Unfair trade practices hurt our economy and costs us jobs. China has been the worst offender. It’s important that the United States moves towards re-establishing our position in the world and I commend the President for taking bold action.

As we move to get tough on China, the actions we take going forward must be done while being mindful of potential retaliation and who gets hurt in the process. I’m hopeful that we can negotiate through these issues in an attempt to avoid an unnecessary trade war.

Concern about our governor

by S t at e R ep. J . E g g l es t o n

This will be one of the most somber reports I have written, as it relays to you some of the disturbing allegations regarding Gov. Eric Greitens.

A couple months ago, a St. Louis news outlet reported that the governor had an extra-marital affair that might have included criminal activity against the woman with whom he had the affair, his hairdresser.

The allegations were disturbing enough that a House of Representatives Special Committee was convened to investigate.

This committee was made of seven House members, with backgrounds in law, police work, and business. The members were both Republican and Democrat, men and women, black and white, and are some of the most upstanding, intelligent, and honorable people you could hope to meet, as are the vast majority of elected officials.

On April 11 the committee released a preliminary report on the affair based on their investigation, including testimony from the hairdresser and other witnesses. Details of the report are tawdry and not suitable for all audiences. If you wish to read it, it is public record and posted on the House website (house. mo.gov) under the heading Special Investigative Committee on Oversight.

I will say the details are very concerning, especially if criminal action was involved. According to the report, the affair was instigated by Greitens before he was elected governor, but after he declared his candidacy.

The governor has indirectly denied some of the criminal elements, but declined to testify in the House investigation since he is also under criminal indictment in St. Louis for the same case. He is also being scrutinized for campaign finance and sunshine records law issues.

The governor says that most of the efforts against him originate from Democrats who want to oust him from office and disrupt the upcoming 2018 elections. According to the report, there is probably some truth to that, but also some truth to his disturbing behavior.

The Special House Committee will continue to investigate, and the governor will undergo a criminal trial relating to the affair in St. Louis in May. We in the legislature will continue to debate and pass good bills to improve our state, and will try not to let the governor’s troubles distract us from that duty. If enough evidence is gathered to suggest that the governor should be impeached, that will not likely happen before our adjournment in mid-May and would be addressed in a Special Session this summer.

It is also possible that evidence will come to light that exonerates the governor and he will retain his job.

If impeachment does come to pass, there is a line of succession outlined in our Missouri Constitution (Lieutenant Governor, Senate President Pro Tem, Speaker of the House, etc.) filled with distinguished and honorable men with many years of public service that would make a highly qualified replacement.

Sanders was later located in Pattonsburg and arrested on two Daviess County warrants for failure to appear for possession of marijuana. Sanders was transported to DDCRJ on $658 bond. A computer check shows that Sanders does not have a valid driver’s license.

Sanders lives at the above residence with his mother. The assault victim also resides there and is in a romantic relationship with Sanders’ mother.

George is taking in the Florida sun Back on July 15, 2013, a customer at the Gallatin Publishing Company paid for their North Missourian newspaper with an unusual bill. The $1 bill had a blue stamp that read “currency tracking study.”

Being “Curious Georges,” we couldn’t help but look it up.

Where’s George? is a website that tracks the natural geographic circulation of American paper money.

On April 12, we received an email that our bill had received a ‘hit.’

A hit is when a registered bill is re-entered into the database after its initial entry.

After five years on the road, our bill has traveled at least 1,638 miles. It has traveled at an average of .95 miles per day. The bill is now 1,209 miles from its starting location.

Our bill has had four hits so far. Its initial entry was in Lincoln, NE. The user’s note read: “Originally entered in new, uncirculated condition. Please register and let me know where you found it.”

From Lincoln it traveled to Gallatin, a distance of 158 miles.

The newspaper left the following note: “A customer paid for their Gallatin North Missourian newspaper with the bill. It is in very good condition.”

From Gallatin it traveled to Miami, FL. The user’s note read “It’s in great condition. Got it at a gas station.”

From Miami it has traveled to Windermere, FL. The user said: “Bought and used at a vending machine.”

Where will George end up next? Hard saying. It’s impossible to know how many hands the money will pass through or what it will be used for, because not everybody will be bothered to enter it into the website.

Any dollar bill can be tracked, it doesn’t have to be marked.

Bills that are entered into the database, but not marked, are known as naturals, stealths or ghosts.

To increase the chance of having a bill reported, users (called “Georgers”) may write or stamp text on the bills encouraging bill finders to visit www.wheresgeorge.com and track the bill’s travels. (The site does not encourage the defacement of U.S.

currency.)

It’s easy to track a bill. Just enter your zip code and the bill’s serial number and any “notes” you want to enter.

Most bills do not receive any responses, or hits, but many bills receive two or more hits. The approximate hit rate is around 11.4%. Double- and triple-hitters are common, and bills with four or five hits are not unheard of. Almost daily, a bill receives its sixth hit. The site record is held by a $1 bill with 15 entries.

About 1.1 billion bills have been entered, about 0.114% of all bills in circulation.

The whole tracking George business started 15 years ago.

That’s before Facebook or Twitter got started. The website is the brainchild of Hank Eskin, a former tech consultant. He started it in 1998 as a “quirky idea.” Now there’s a whole subculture of Georgers out there tracking $1 bills.

Enjoy the Florida sun, George, and safe travels.

Collins and Nelson compete, win first; Nelson elected state PBL president Gallatin R-5 2015 graduates Kylie Collins and Aubrey Nelson recently traveled to the FBLAPBL State Leadership Conference in Springfield. PBL-Phi Beta Lambda is the collegiate organization in which many FBLA members can continue on in their membership to further their business and leadership skills.

Kylie and Aubrey, long-time friends and high school FBLA competitive partners, may be seven hours away from each other and on opposite ends of the state, but PBL draws them together to compete, share business ideas and experience, and participate in innovative workshops.

During the girls’ high school years, they were both active in Gallatin’s FBLA under chapter advisor Barb Holcomb, while competing in district, state and national conferences in competitive divisions, such as community service.

Kyle Collins, daughter of Stacy

Collins and Jeff Collins, is in her junior year at Southeast Missouri State University at Cape Girardeau, majoring in accounting. She competed for her college in testing events. Kylie’s competitive result standings were first in accounting principles, second in accounting for professionals, and second in cost accounting.

Aubrey is the daughter of Bill and Vera Nelson. Aubrey, serving on the executive team as Missouri State Secretary, was one of the seven members in charge of the day-long event. Aubrey is in her junior year at Northwest Missouri State University at Maryville, majoring in criminology and political science pre-law.

During the PBL Conference, Aubrey campaigned and was successful in votes to be elected as PBL 2018-2019 Missouri State President.

Both Kylie and Aubrey plan to attend, compete and lead at the four day National Leadership Conference this summer in Baltimore, MD.

The city clerk updated the Winston Village Board of Trustees on the storm siren maintenance, which was performed earlier in the month. Outdoor Warning Consultants replaced both batteries on the siren, and explained to the clerk the requirements to keep the siren updated. After discussion at their meeting held April 2, the board decided to require Outdoor Warning Consultants to come every three years for maintenance checks, and schedule monthly siren testing and observation to locate any obstructions to the siren components, even through the winter months.

Arvella Eaton wanted to step down from the emergency management position, and nominated Nichole Gregornik to take over the position. This change was approved.

Financial reports detailing deposits and expenses and yearto-date reports were approved as presented by the village clerk.

The utilities clerk distributed

a new list of delinquent customers, including three due for shutoff. The clerk reported to the board that a sewer shutoff valve malfunctioned and Brent Dustman was called in to fix the problem a couple weeks prior. The shutoff was dug up and a new one was installed with no problems.

The clerk told the board she tried to get copies of the sewer maps to install sewer shutoffs and she was unsuccessful. She is going to call the company who created them to try to get copies.

Melvin McFee reported everything was working properly as far as sewer maintenance and there are no new problems.

Quentin Hunt, ordinance enforcement, told the board that everyone, except one resident, complied with the enforcement letters that were sent out last month. The one resident has two unlicensed vehicles still on their property; the clerk is to send another letter. An organizational board meeting was scheduled for Monday, April 16.

Aubrey Nelson continues as FBLA-PBL state president through 2018-2019 Aubrey Nelson continues her admiration and dedication with FBLA-PBL with a successful selection as the 2018-2019 PBLMissouri State President. PBL is the collegiate organization which college students may join to continue their pursuit of business knowledge and leadership.

Aubrey began her state officer position journey during her junior year at Gallatin High School in 2014, as the FBLA state reporter.

She then continued on to “fill the shoes” as the FBLA Missouri State President, guiding over 15,000 students in 2015.

The two state officer terms were through Gallatin R-5, under advisor Barb Holcomb.

Upon graduation from GHS in 2015, Aubrey continued with her A-Plus program at North Central Missouri College, assisting in the reorganization of the NCMC PBL Chapter.

While at NCMC, Aubrey went on to compete at the state and national level under the advisement of NCMC business teacher,

Sarah Bird.

Aubrey has most recently served as PBL Missouri State Secretary, while continuing her pursuit of a bachelor’s in political science pre-law, with a minor in criminology.

Aubrey is a junior and serves as a Northwest Missouri State Ambassador and a member of the Sigma Sigma Sigma Sorority.

Aubrey took over the duties as the Missouri State PBL president during ceremonies this April in Springfield.

Aubrey will travel to Baltimore, MD, this summer for the National Leadership Conference, assisting in workshops and competitive events.

Aubrey will stand as being the first individual through the FBLA-PBL organization to hold both the office of FBLA State President and PBL State President.

Aubrey is the daughter of Bill and Vera Nelson, and the granddaughter of Sarah Dowell, Jack Dowell and the late Judy Nelson, all of Gallatin.

Michael brothers relive NAIA National Championship

by D en n is Co x , S po rt s E dit o r

The clear blue afternoon sky above St. Joseph’s Phil Welch Stadium on June 8, 1968, had long since given way to bright lights as late night continued to advance on two teams battling it out for the 1968 NAIA National Baseball Championship.

William Jewell College of Liberty, MO, and Georgia Southern University had taken similar, grinding roads to the title game, advancing through district and regional tournaments. Players were growing weary and only a victory would satisfy the team that could successfully end what had become a marathon game.

Two country boys, hailing from Gilman City complemented the WJC Cardinal squad. The path to the championship for brothers David and Dick Michael began years earlier in peewee, then little league and pony league, and finally American Legion baseball, where they were scouted by William Jewell Coach Fred Flook.

Both men are now retired educators.

David and his wife, Kayla, live on a farm north of Gallatin. Dick and his wife, Tori, live in Blue Springs. Between them, David and Dick have six children. All attended William Jewell and all six met their future spouses there.

Early influences “Dick was very interested in William Jewell from the very beginning,” said David. “I had already enrolled in the University of Missouri with no thought of baseball,” he added, “but after one year I transferred to William Jewell.”

It was perhaps fitting that both Michael boys ended up in Cardinal uniforms because they idolized the St. Louis Cardinals and particularly, Stan Musial.

David, a pitcher and first baseman, and Dick, an infielder, credited their diamond success to their father, Frank, and Trenton Little League Coach Bill Simmons, who later joined the St. Louis Cardinals as equipment manager.

“Dad really loved baseball,” David said, “While we were growing up, he always told us that when he was our age, he only got to play baseball with his brothers, using primitive equipment.”

Another important early influence on the boys was legendary Gilman City resident, Carl “Cotton” Gutshall.

“Cotton’s son, Terry, was my best friend,” Dick Michael relates.“Cotton was pretty well known around the state as a horseshoe pitcher and as a baseball and softball pitcher.”

Gutshall put together a Gilman City team and was the first organized team coach for the Michael brothers.

“Mom and dad found out that Trenton organized leagues and I would play Little League and David would play with the older team,” Dick said.

At Trenton, players were organized into six teams that played twice a week.

Coach Simmons usually umpired behind the plate but the players, themselves, would call the bases, Dick says. “And you sure wouldn’t see this today, but parents were not allowed to stay and watch the games,” he added.

Later the talent level on Trenton’s American Legion team was evident, Dick says. A player by the name of Bobby Johnson signed with the Dodgers.

Trenton native Mike Arbuckle was drafted by Cardinals in 1969. He later scouted for both the Phillies and Braves before becoming a senior advisor in the KC Royals organization.

Coincidentally, another Gilman City product, Jim Griffith, coached Trenton American Legion teams for years.

Lucky Cardinal red The WJC Cardinals were floundering at the .500 level in mid-season. “We’d have a good stretch and then a not-so-good stretch,” David related. Injuries to two starters forced a major lineup shuffle that ended up paying big dividends.

“We won 12 consecutive games

the bases with it.

Dick was sitting on the dugout steps with his back against the wall when the big blow came. “By the 13th inning, I wasn’t feeling well and I didn’t see him hit the home run,” he said. “I regret that to this day.”

The night before, Coach Flook tried to score Dick from first on a soft liner to the outfield. Rounding third base, Dick met the catcher up the baseline and the two collided, knocking Dick unconscious.

Post season honors The 1968 NAIA championship game remains the longest in terms of innings played, and is eclipsed on the clock only by a five-hour, five-minute (12 inning) game between Indiana Tech and Embry-Riddle (Fla.) in 1999.

Stonum, Libeer, second baseman Dick Michael, first baseman John Lampton and outfielder Bob Buschmann were named to the all-tournament team.

Libeer, a .300 hitter who batted second in the Cardinal lineup, made 11 putouts in the field and that remains a tournament single-game record for a shortstop. He was named an All-American after the 1969 after that and lost only one game in the Jewell’s half of the fourth inning. Cardinal season and a WJC Hall of Fame inductee area tournament,” David said.
