New gluten-free bakery, store to take cupola building on Gallatin’s square Marie Antoinette’s GlutenFree Bake Shoppe is making plans to expand and relocate their bakery in “the cupola building” on the east side of the Gallatin business square.

This business will eventually employ 7-10 people working a retail business in the cupola building and a production bakery in the former grocery store.

The firm is now aligning its financing to open its busi-

ness here. During the next six months, the relocation will require significant effort to acquire equipment and line up suppliers. No precise opening date has been announced.

The business intends to retain the historic integrity of the landmark building’s exterior while remodeling the interior to suit its retail and production bakery needs.

The Bake Shoppe presently

operates out of a small facility in Wathena, Kan. While looking to expand, Bake Shoppe owners approached the City of Gallatin and discussion almost immediately focused on the vacant commercial buildings the city acquired in 2016.

According to its website (mariesglutenfree.com), Marie Antoinette’s offers 47 gluten-free products: cakes, pies, cinnamon

Rains leave lasting imprint It’s hot and dry now and there hasn’t been a drop of rain over the past week, but the deluge of run-off from storms June 29-30 have left a memorable mark in the way of damage to the crops, roads and bridges.

Daviess County Commissioners report that the worst damage to the county roads occurred at a bridge on July Road, which is located about two miles west of Jamesport. One end of the bridge washed away. The road comes to a dead-end beyond the bridge.

A township-owned road in Jackson Township (southeast Daviess) called Saber was completely washed away. Saber is a gravel road that starts on the south end of the Magill Bridge and winds through the bottoms between the New Grand and the Old Grand, coming out on Unity Avenue, a couple of miles west of (continued on page 3)

No license office coming to Gallatin Will the vehicle license office ever be reinstated in Gallatin for the convenience of citizens living in Daviess County?

Apparently, no.

This past week those submitting applications to operate the local license bureau received official notification. The Office of Administration’s Division of Purchasing canceled its solicitation of proposals to operate a license office in Gallatin. Furthermore, the solicitation will not be reissued.

Those familiar with state government say this is a business

30th ANNUAL

decision. License offices located in small towns like Gallatin are modestly profitable. Thus, it is argued, closing these office locations as vacancies occur financially strengthens neighboring license offices without any disruption in service, despite the inconvenience to those losing the local office. Three other offices similar to Gallatin elsewhere in the state are also not being renewed; over time other small offices may likewise shut down.

Three bidders were under consideration when the decision to terminate the local office was

made. Those who successfully bid and are accepted to operate license offices earn revenue based on the office’s transactions. Expenses including equipment, building rent and utilities are paid by the operator before realizing profit. Thus, smaller license offices with fewer or decreasing transactions are particularly at risk.

Daviess County has been without a license office since Aug. 11, 2016. The last office contractor was Heather Duvall who also operated the Milan license

third place and a $600 cash prize.

Abby Marble’s event consisted of a preliminary and final round where she participated in a role-play event that focused on customer service and how students were able to handle a phone call with an upset client and resolve the situation in the best interest of both the business and the customer.

“When there are more than five times the number of people that live in our small town competing at one competition, it is an amazing achievement to have any of our students place in the Top 10,” Barb Holcomb, local chapter adviser, says, “Gallatin FBLA competed against students from all over the United States and even China had a team in one of our preliminary rounds.”

Gallatin’s Parliamentary Procedures Team also experienced

success at nationals. With over 120 teams across the nation competing, Gallatin FBLA’s team was one of only 15 teams to advance to the final performance round based on their success on the 100-question written knowledge test of parliamentary law.

Unfortunately, they did not make the Top 10; however, making finals on the national level is an honor. Members of Gallatin FBLA’s Parliamentary Procedures Team were Hayley Michael, Briar Roll, Megan Cox, and Jarod Rains.

While at the conference, Chloe Simmons of the Gallatin Chapter was recognized for earning the highest award given to FBLA members, the America Award.

The best Fourth ever

by Freida M arie Cru mp

When one cares, one can matter It’s absolute great news to learn about a new business coming to Gallatin. Of course, and in true Show-Me fashion, we shouldn’t count on anything until we actually see a new sign go up and the doors swing open for business. But all signals are “Go!” for Marie Antoinette’s Bake Shoppe to convert a community eyesore into a community asset.

This is a feel-good story about how optimism wins, and how one person can make a difference.

At the time the City of Gallatin acquired the cupola property, it was more appropriate to wonder whether any lemonade could be squeezed from such a lemon.

Store vacancies around town were (are) too many. Fire had wiped out the middle of the block.

Gallatin hasn’t had a Chamber of Commerce for decades; organized economic efforts waned.

Utility bills here are high, and any loose dollar in the city’s coffers surely must be spent on completing the new water treatment plant.

There wasn’t much optimism to talk about.

But one cold January day, Dean Hales summoned a handful of people to the building that once housed his grocery store.

His was the last successful business to be located there. A tour of the premises and the adjoining cupola building prompted mixed response. Years of neglect showed. Water damage from a leaking roof was evident; much of the flooring was buckled and soft. And yet, ceiling and floor

Letters...

Dear Editor, Has anyone bothered to think of land sales to other countries?

That land becomes part of that country. They could place a military base on it and we couldn’t stop it. How stupid!

This is illegal!

We are selling our heritage.

This land sale started before the 1980s by unscrupulous people in power. Most of our country’s debt holders demand it as collateral on our nation’s debt. That’s why so many people get angry when we go deeper in debt. Not to mention the Federal Reserve is privately owned. It’s not government owned nor run.

Wayne Kleinschmidt

joists were surprisingly sound.

But it was obvious, left unattended, things could easily slip past reasonable financial redemption ...and soon.

Doom was the apparent fate for this derelict property. The landowner was leaving town, confirming worries about abandoned responsibilities.

Few had any high hopes of reviving the building’s future despite its prominent location, unique cupola, and historic past.

While most of us were already waving good-bye, Dean Hales thought otherwise.

O the E itor s S ike

by arryl

ilkinson

Dean brokered a conversation which eventually convinced both the departing landlord and hesitant local officials to reconsider circumstances. If the landowner donated the property to the City, he’d dodge taxes and increasing liabilities. If the City accepted the property as a gift, then the City controlled a bad situation and, worst case, could even set its own terms for demolition without legal condemnation proceedings.

Dean is not the bashful type.

Circumstances required rather blunt talk and prodding persistence (i.e. you don’t want Dean to have your cell number on speed dial ...just kidding, Dean, just kidding).

There are many improvement projects at Gallatin, Hamilton and elsewhere that show Dean’s heart. Some might say his motivation is self-interest. But even in retirement Dean can proudly point to a number of community improvements and projects, knowing firsthand how one man can make a difference when one man cares.

Simply stated, the property transfer from delinquent private property to city hall simply would not have happened if not for Dean Hales. Who knows if the folks at Marie Antoinette’s would ever have connected the dots to Gallatin without the city’s possession of the property and prompt response?

At that time, though, nobody

knew whether the city taking the derelict property was a good idea or a bad one. The decision caused more than a few living here to scratch their heads. Questions had few answers. The new city administrator was only days into his job; leadership on such a rehabilitation project (actually, Gallatin’s first) was uncertain. It would take months, right up until this week’s announcement, before you could taste the very real sweetness in such lemonade.

But there was optimism.

Money pledged by the Gallatin Industrial Development Corporation greased the deal. The idea was to spend a little money to fix the roof — to buy time. The GIDA, inactive for years, had available funds which the city does not. The pledge was a ray of optimism at a critical juncture.

Still, it was anybody’s bet whether any money spent on the building would be wasted.

Eventually, a path toward a plan began to take shape, a path familiar to those who choose to be optimistic. Focus on the obvious. Fix the roof. Maybe in time some business might expand or relocate or perhaps a buyer might arrive chasing some other purpose. If all else fails, convert the property for community use.

Our elected officials at city hall showed their mettle. Mayor Ballew appointed a citizens committee to explore possible community options. Ideas were developed that included relocating city hall in the cupola building and converting the old grocery store area into a community center. A tentative floor plan was drafted, and a development time frame proposed.

Good ideas generate enthusiasm. The enthusiasm convinced city hall to legally organize a 501(c)(3) non-profit “Friends of Gallatin” in preparation for fundraising, including finance avenues through USDA programs.

That’s no small thing — optimism — for a small town. And now as a result of such effort, the Friends of Gallatin can help develop our community in other ways going forward.

And that’s how optimism grows. A spark. Then little steps, one step followed by another.

Volunteers line up; leadership emerges from the likes of Kate Chrisman and Clint Vanatta.

Confidence builds. Optimism creates an atmosphere where (continued on page 3)

Greetings from Poosey.

Hershel Lindsay dreaded holidays. It was the task of he and his wife Elisabeth to host the family gatherings and this year’s Fourth of July reunion seemed to be more formidable than most. Hershel’s family is politically divided. Actually, divided isn’t quite the word. In recent months it’s been torn down the middle with supporters of the current administration on one side and its detractors on the far side of the family chasm. Hershel told me at the coffee shop that he’d considered canceling this year’s annual fireworks night, fearing that the explosions might be verbal instead of pyrotechnic.

“The trouble is,” said Hershel, “they’re all good people. I love ‘em all and underneath all the political talk they’d do anything for each other. That’s the way we raised ‘em.”

He sadly told me that something had happened to them in recent months.

“Used to be, politicians would at least stay civil and that sort of set the tone for all of us. Now it’s Katie-bar-the-door with the trash talk and insults.” He even admitted some anger himself. “Yes, I do blame our leaders. These weren’t the kids I raised.”

I had the chance to run into Hershel just after the Fourth and I asked him how things went. “Worse than I figured, Freida. They got out of their cars wearing their ‘Impeach Trump’ and ‘America First’ T-shirts and hats. Elisabeth and I just looked at each other. It wasn’t going to be easy.” The Lindsay’s aren’t a drinking family so there was no alcohol fueling the conversation that night, but in Hershel’s words, “It just wasn’t like old times. Yeah, we hugged and laughed, but it was tense.”

Elisabeth was especially concerned since she’d asked her father, Laymon, to join them. Laymon’s been holed up in a nearby retirement home for several years and it’s hard for him to get around, but a rented wheelchair and a good deal of persuasion from his daughter got him to the family confab. Everyone was tickled to see Grandpa, and Hershel said that his father-in-law’s presence put everyone on their best behavior ...but it didn’t last. “Within an hour they forgot Laymon was there and the political arguing began.”

Elisabeth was embarrassed for her dad and at several points during the evening she offered to take him home, but he insisted on staying for the fireworks, “Unless,” he said, “they’ve already begun.”

Hershel told me that the debate was getting heated and the kids were becoming antsy awaiting the rockets and firecrackers. “I even thought about shooting them off while there was still daylight, just to divert everyone’s attention and get poor Laymon back to his retirement village.” He said it was one of the saddest moments of his life, “Imagine, Freida, wanting your own family to go home. I nearly cried.”

That’s when Laymon spoke up. Laymon Richardson is 94 years old, worked his whole life on the farm after he returned from the war, and after the death of his wife Maurine he sort of went down hill. He was always known as a man whose word was as good as his bond, and was the driving force behind building our Lutheran Church after the fire. Laymon raised a shaky hand in the middle of an argument over tweeting presidents and said, “Could I say something?”

Hershel told me the patio became silent with only the hiss of the smothered charcoal grill and a few tree frogs left dangling in the Poosey night air. “I don’t mean to interrupt, but I’m getting tired and may forget what I want to say by tomorrow.” His family chuckled.

“You’ll have to move closer. Don’t have much voice anymore.” The family crowded their lawn chairs in to a tight covey around Grandpa as he took a sip of lemonade then began.

“I’ve fought a war and lived through some tight money times where stayin’ alive was mainly what we talked out. I love all my family, and I just want to tell you that you’ve all been infected and it makes me pretty sad.” Hershel said that the old man gave them a short lecture in civics. “The president, the Congress, that ain’t us. That ain’t America. I’ve seen ‘em come and go and believe me, they’ll go.” Laymon cast an eye to the youngsters playing in Hershel’s backyard. “That out there. That’s America and what they see and hear is gonna determine what our country’s gonna be. And what they see and hear now is you ...Mom and Dad. So now let’s shoot off some fireworks.” Hershel said it was the best Fourth ever.

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

Gluten-free bakery coming rolls, bread buns, Paleo loaf, pancake mix, pizza crust — even “Southern” biscuits and gravy.

Local officials were told that the State of Kansas issued a commendation award for the company’s economic input into that state’s economy. The firm distributes their products at stores in Missouri, Iowa, Kansas and Nebraska, partnering with HyVee, Price Chopper, HenHouse, Pizza Shoppe, VaVas Euro Bistro and The Merc Co-op.

Discussions about the possibility of Marie Antoinette’s relocation and expansion at Gallatin began about six weeks ago. The relocation and expansion most likely will involve economic development funds from a MoKAN organization, bank investment, and a sizable input of capital from the business owners.

No financial incentives were promised by the City of Gallatin to attract the new business here. It has yet to be determined whether the bakery will primarily be an electricity or natural gas customer.

The new business will benefit from an initial local investment to stabilize the buildings now in obvious disrepair. As previously reported, up to $50,000 to repair the cupola and roof were pledged by the Gallatin Industrial Development Corporation (GIDC).

Local officials viewed roof repairs as necessary in hopes of returning the property to any use; all involved prefer the buildings to house a commercial business.

But, if no business took possession, efforts to convert the property into a community center were also underway.

These efforts included the

Momentum grows.

The development plans and proposals for a community building and the relocation of city hall were about to go public. Despite the costs and all the unknowns, there was optimism that our community would rally.

Then — surprise! — the Bake Shoppe came knocking. Their knock at Gallatin’s door sounds like the very best thing possible: a family-operated business expanding to bring new jobs here while preserving an historic building and local landmark.

To perpetuate efforts, elected city officials (mayor and aldermen) serve as board members of this newly created entity. Seating publicly elected officials as volunteer board members on a not-for-profit organization contrasts with entities that exist but are largely inactive, such as the Gallatin Industrial Development Corporation which organized in the 1960s.

est. In the unlikely event that the bakery’s plans fail to materialize, efforts to renovate the property and convert the building into a community center most likely would be revived.

The City of Gallatin recently approved a proposal from Milbourn LLC of Gallatin to remove and repair 4500 square feet of roof and to restore the decorative cupola. This week a check for $34,961.93 from the GIDC was delivered to the City to cover these improvements on the commercial building. Thereafter, property improvements will be financed and completed by the new bakery business.

Repairs on the property are hoped to be completed this fall.

The license office serving Daviess County was located off North Main Street in Gallatin, within the brick office building which also houses Mi Mexico Restaurant and American Family Insurance.

Nearby license offices still in operation are at Cameron, Chillicothe, Maysville, Trenton, Kingston and Bethany.

Many Daviess County citizens also have the option of renewing their license plates online at www.plates.mo.gov. If a citi-

zen’s license plate renewal form mailed to them by the Missouri Department of Revenue contains a personal identification number, then he or she can renew their license plates online.

Citizens with questions about driver’s license transactions may call the department at (573) 751-4600, and questions about license plate renewal or other motor vehicle-related transactions can be answered by calling 573526-3669.

Many questions can also be answered by going to the department’s website at www.dor. mo.gov.

KCP&L wants fuel raise of about $2.31 a month KCP&L Greater Missouri Operations Company (GMO), which provides electric service to customers in Daviess County, has filed a request with the Missouri Public Service Commission to adjust the fuel adjustment charge (FAC) on the bills of its electric customers. According to the filings, a typical residential customer using 1,000 kWh a month will see a monthly charge of $0.46. This represents an increase of approximately $2.31 to a GMO residential customer’s monthly bill above the prior FAC. The proposed change would take effect in September.

Lois Y ost at her home on the southwest side of Gallatin.

Lois Yost selected for Yard of the Month Lois Yost was selected as June’s Yard-of-the-Month by the Gallatin Garden Club. Lois lives at 805 Gina Street. She has knock-out roses and vine plants of a light and dark shade. Lois, 93, maintains the garden herself.

She has lived in the house since 1994.

Lois was raised in Nebraska.

At about the time her parents bought a farm in Daviess County, Lois joined the Naval Reserve WAVES (Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service) during WWII. Lois was 20-years-old . To join, she had to have her parent’s consent, a preacher’s recommendation, and the recommendation of at least three neighbors.

“My oldest brother was in the Army. My youngest brother was in the Navy Seabees. My sister worked as a civilian secretary to a major in Washington, D.C. I wanted to do my part,” said Lois.

“I think people were a lot more patriotic at that time.”

She went to boot camp at Hunter College in New York.

She was a gunnery inspector stationed in Pensacola, Fla. She said her classroom had room for a screen to depict each .50 caliber machine gun turret.

“The bomber planes were the same as the Army’s B24, but the Navy called them PB442,” said Lois. “We used the screens to make sure the gunners had the right number of rads when shooting back at the zeroes.”

The ‘zeroes’ were the Japanese war planes, Lois explained, and the ‘rads’ refers to the radius.

She served for 22 months in the Navy Reserves.

“I enjoyed the service,” she said. “I’ve had a lot of benefits from it.”

Lois married Glen Yost after leaving the Navy. They lived on a farm by Pattonsburg and had three children. Glen passed away in 2003.

“I’ve always had a big garden,” said Lois. “I’ve always loved flowers and babies.”

He stated he observed numerous problems with the streets, and asked how many hours he could work in order to get them fixed.

The board told him to do all he can to help fix the road problems within the village.

The clerk mentioned she called MODOT about the speed limit sign, and she will call again in order to get it installed.

The income and expense reports and the year-to-date report were approved and bills paid.

The utilities clerk distributed a new list of delinquent customers, including one due for shutoff.

She stated that three sewer shutoffs were attempted and only one was actually installed.

and that there are no new problems.

Library awarded grant for lactation station

Gallatin Fire report

The Daviess County Library applied for the “Missouri Breastfeeding Friendly Worksite” grant and was awarded the silver level.

With the grant, they were able to purchase the necessary items to have a lactation station for their employees. They also offer use of the lactation station for patrons, upon request.

The “Missouri Breastfeeding Friendly Worksite Program” is a state-wide initiative to increase the number of businesses that provide their employees with breastfeeding support services.

Women who wish to continue to breastfeed after returning to work have few and simple needs yet often these needs are not met by their workplace. Due to this need, the Breastfeeding Friendly Worksite Program was developed.

The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services (DHSS) is offering up to $500 to Missouri employers interested in creating or improving lactation support policies and programs

Brent and Amanda Hartman

Hartmans open Jamesport BBQ Depot Brent and Amanda Hartman opened Jamesport BBQ Depot at 301 S. Broadway in Jamesport on Saturday, July 8.

The parents of 10 children, the Hartmans lived near Jameson for three years and moved to the Jamesport area last year.

Brent grew up in Chillicothe, and Amanda grew up in Platte City.

“We have been cooking for friends, family, and doing barbecue catering for years,” said Amanda.

Most people know the Hartmans for the kettle corn they have sold in the area at festivals and chautauquas; however, their dream has always been to open a barbecue restaurant.

“This is something that we have planned for over a decade,

and we are so excited to have the opportunity to share our love of food with others,” said Brent.

The menu will include brisket, ribs, turkey, and pulled pork.

They will also have seasonal local produce and fruits, and will continue to sell kettle corn and shaved ice at the depot. Karaoke is planned for Saturday nights.

Brent does most of the cooking and Amanda helps wherever needed.

At one time, the building was a grain depot. The Hartmans have added walls and painted. The entrance is on the northeast side of the building, under the canopy.

Hours are Tuesday through Thursday, 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., and Friday and Saturday, 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.

Don’t miss the eclipse…but protect your eyes from the sun

By Lori K iehl, M ark eting M anag er, P remier Ey e Care

In this area, we have the once in a lifetime opportunity to see the totally eclipsed sun — when the moon completely blocks the sun. We may see the solar corona ringing the black silhouette of the moon in a twilight-dark sky with stars and sunset colors all around the horizon.

This is an opportunity to see the eclipse for those in a 70-mile wide span on Monday, August 21, at 1:09 p.m. for up to two minutes and 23 seconds.

The last time the contiguous U.S. saw a total eclipse was in 1979. This could be the most witnessed total eclipse ever.

The rest of the nation will see a partial eclipse that day.

Minutes before the totality eclipse, we will see a partial eclipse and the only safe way to look directly at the partially eclipsed sun is through specialpurpose solar filters, such as “eclipse glasses” or hand-held solar viewers.

Homemade filters or ordinary sunglasses, even very dark ones, are not safe for looking at the sun.

To date, four manufacturers have certified that their eclipse glasses and hand-held solar viewers meet the ISO 12312-2 international standard for such products: Rainbow Symphony,

American Paper Optics, Thousand Oaks Optical, and TSE 17.

Many of these filters have a thin layer of chromium alloy or aluminum deposited on their surfaces that attenuates both visible and near-infrared radiation.

Number 14 welder glass is also approved.

Premier EyeCare Associates is giving away a limited number of eclipse viewers that are available at any of our four offices, Brookfield, Chillicothe, Carrollton, and Trenton, so the eclipse can be safely viewed by customers.

An eclipse is considered more dangerous to eyesight because we can view the sun longer without the normal sensation of pain associated when looking at a bright light.

If a person looks at the sun several seconds during the partial eclipse without protection, a person could experience a shortterm condition called retinal bleaching.

If a person looks at the sun unprotected a few minutes, permanent blindness could happen that could be irreversible. Exposure of the retina to intense visible light causes damage to its lightsensitive rod and cone cells. The light triggers a series of complex chemical reactions within the

cells that damages their ability to respond to a visual stimulus and, in extreme cases, can destroy them. The result is a loss of visual function which may be either temporary or permanent depending on the severity of the damage.

Do not look at the sun through a camera, a telescope, binoculars, or any other optical device while using eclipse glasses or viewers— the concentrated solar rays will damage the filter and enter your eye(s), causing serious injury. There are special solar filter devices for cameras, telescopes, and binoculars that are required.

In the regions of Gallatin, Trenton, Chillicothe, and Carrollton, only remove your solar filter when the moon completely covers the sun’s bright face and it suddenly gets quite dark. Replace your solar viewer to glance at the remaining partial phases.

Dark sunglasses, transition lenses, neutral density or polarizing filters are not safe for solar viewing. Do not use a homemade solution – go to Premier EyeCare Associates and experience this exciting visual phenomenon safely!

The Gallatin Garden Club met on the afternoon of June 20 at the home of Louise Taylor. The Garden Club opened with the Garden Collect and roll call.

A wooden barn quilt block project has been purchased and will be placed at the Lions Club Log Cabin Park, south on Highway 13 in Gallatin.

Library Director Allison Spidle presented the program.

Ms. Spidle informed the group of the details of the “NASA@ mylibrary” grant that the library recently received. The library is one of only 75 libraries in the whole country to be picked for the grant, and the only one from Missouri.

Ms. Spidle gave a presentation on the total solar eclipse, which will take place over Daviess County on Aug. 21. On that day, the library is hosting a large event on the courthouse lawn from 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. The eclipse will happen from 1:08 to 1:10 p.m. The public is invited.

The library will distribute free solar viewing glasses on the day of the event. There will also be a community picture around 1 p.m.

www.daviesscountysheriff.com

Texas truck driver arrested for DWI on I-35 Missouri State Highway Patrol arrested Mark Negrete, 26, Weslaco, Texas, at 3:55 p.m.

July 8 for misdemeanor DWI, prior offender, and other traffic offenses. According to the probable cause statement, Negrete was arrested during a traffic stop by Trooper M. Neely, who was dispatched to check on a report of a tractor trailer that failed to maintain a single lane of travel.

The trooper observed the tractor trailer exit from southbound I-35 at the 61-mile marker in Daviess County. As the vehicle merged from the right lane of southbound I-35 to the exit ramp, it traveled off the left portion of the roadway and onto the inside shoulder of the exit ramp. The front left marker light had also fallen from the housing and into the grill portion of the vehicle.

Trooper Neely conducted a traffic stop at the Viking Truck Stop. After several field sobriety tests, Negrete was placed under arrest for driving while intoxicated. He was transferred to DDCRJ with $2,500 cash bond which he later posted. Negrete’s

criminal history shows that he was convicted of DWI in Texas in 2013.

Addison Burns takes fourth during FFA speech academy Addison Burns, a junior at Gallatin High School, received fourth place in the advanced division of the Missouri FFA Public Speaking Academy held June 6-9 on the University of Central Missouri campus. Her speech was titled “Healthy Soils are Full of Life.”

Addison is the daughter of Brantly and Tara Burns. She currently serves as the First Vice President of the local FFA chapter.

Sixty-one FFA members from across the state participated in the Missouri FFA Public Speaking Academy. The Missouri FFA, along with Case IH, made it possible for FFA members to benefit from the professional staff at University of Central Missouri. During the three-day event, FFA members used the Internet and other communication technology to develop and refine an effective speech.

Dr. Terry Cunconan, Dr. Wendy Geiger, Dr. Sam Cox, and Dr. Nikki Freeman from the University’s Speech Communication Department conducted the three days of intense learning.

The academy was designed to help FFA members increase their confidence, develop organizational skills, use language effectively, analyze audiences and improve speaking skills by judging themselves honestly and critically -- while keeping a positive attitude.

Each student presented his or her speech in competition at the conclusion of the academy.

Awards were presented at a banquet held at the Elliott Student Union on Thursday, June 8, 2017. The banquet included the presentation of certificates of completion to each of the participants and recognition of the

Altam ont U nited Meth odist Choral call to worship was “Sanctuary.” Children’s time was on “we all have days when we are weary, tired and over-burdened, but Jesus will join us with refreshing hope.”

The retirement of Edna Nichols, executive and corporate secretary of Missouri Telephone Company, has been announced by the company. During all her years with the company, she served as secretary to Mr. Roberts until his death in 1982, at which time she became secretary to Bob McClelland.

J uly 13, 19 77 Gallatin’s senior citizens fared pretty well last Friday when the noon menu at the senior center included catfish prepared by their benefactor, Robert Weldon. Not only did Weldon prepare and fry the fish, he and wife Shirley caught the “mess” which totaled nearly 60 pounds.

Lake Viking looking for talent for 50th anniversary The popular television show, America’s Got Talent, seems to be popping up in various local forms all over the world. Lake Viking’s 50th Anniversary celebration on Aug. 11-12 will include such a talent exhibition.

“We’re going to model our anniversary celebration talent show after the TV show,” said professional entertainer and Viking Valley Association board member, David Sandy. “It’ll be fun, and hopefully we’ll find some local folks who have talent no one knew existed!”

The show/competition will feature up to 12 contestants who will have up to five minutes to show off their talent. Per-

formers with any type of talent, as long as it is family-friendly, are encouraged to participate.

Talents could range anywhere from singing, playing a musical instrument, stand-up comedy, impressions, dancing, pet tricks, gymnastics, just about anything an audience might find entertaining and fun. The competition is open to anyone; you do not have to be a Lake Viking member in order to enter.

“Instead of worldwide fame and fortune, our winners could win $100, $50, or $25,” joked Sandy. “We’ll have a panel of judges who make the final determination on who’ll take home the cash prizes.”

Father Alexii finds peace in isolated retreat

by T.L. Huffman, staff writer

Father David Alexii (Fr. Paisius) describes the peaceful, isolated monastic community at the northwestern edge of Daviess County as “a place for the soul to catch its breath.” It’s definitely a dramatic change from the inner city world he came from.

Father Alexii was a parish priest in Kansas City. His ministry, Reconciliation Services, offered counseling, material aid, medicine, and job training to the city’s poor and disenfranchised. It was located on Troost Avenue, a prominent racial and economic dividing line in Kansas City. He was there for more than 20 years.

“Daviess County is a world apart,” Father Alexii said.

The change from city to backwoods was not rapid. Nor was the change from preacher to priest.

Father Alexii was a protestant pastor from 1973 to 1993. He and his wife, Thelma, had six children. Reconciliation Ministries started as an interdenominational outreach in 1987. Eventually it became a local parish under the Serbian Orthodox Church called “St. Mary of Egypt.” He and his wife converted and received new names. His new name was Paisius.

Father Paisius was ordained a priest in the Serbian Orthodox Church in 2001. In 2012, Father Alexii’s wife passed away.

In 2013, after prayer and reflection, he became an Orthodox hieromonk or priestmonk. His name was changed again, this time to Alexii. He then spent about a year

When they went to plow and till in May, the ground had set to only six or eight inches.”

The vines were planted with something called a hydro bug on a sprayer. The hydro bug is used to make a hole in the soil with water allowing for space for the new vines.

Blue glow tubes protect the tender vines from rabbit and deer.

“We left some of the rows between the vines in grass to work the vines from; the other is tilled to soak up the rain,” he said.

“Eventually, we will install a four-wire trellis system.”

Since closing on the property, the mortgage has gone from $387,000 to $268,301 currently, thanks to the assistance of many with down payment and monthly donations.

Slowly but surely, the monastic community is becoming what Father Alexii envisioned it to be. His future plans include a new church on the grounds.

Inside the trapez building on the monastery is a large dining table. One the table is a glass box. Inside the glass is a small model of a cathedral-looking building with domes and conical roof.

Father Alexii hopes to build this new church building in the style of architecture known as Eastern Orthodox. He wants to build it where the raised garden beds are located now. He doesn’t know when that will come to pass.

“Things are going much faster than expected,” he said. “It’s in God’s hands.”

Father Alexii seems to have found peace in his Northwest Missouri retreat.

“In the middle of the city, we tried to create a sense of village,” he said. “That sense of village is already here in Daviess County.”

For more information, go to: archangelmichaelskete.org

The Missouri D epartment of Conserva tion told Father Alexii the trees in the timber at the retreat were about 30 0 years old. He takes troubled people for a walk down the trails which are a couple of miles long. “ By the time we’ re done, they’ ve forgotten what was troubling them,” he said. “ I j ust smile inwardly and say thank you, Jesus.”
