What would Abe say?

by Freida Marie Crump

Google, Google everywhere The funeral last Saturday coincided with a previously planned family reunion. Once past the luncheon shared at the church, the visiting relocated into a home and continued until we were hungry again.

We quickly agreed to call in a delivery order, but on whose lead? There were no children nor grandchildren to dictate the menu. Plans for supper began to stall.

In our family, you never want to be behind the wheel driving without the destination in mind whenever mealtime rolls around.

Indecision can make a driver insanely frustrated. Nowadays, it seems, you can get a taste of the same frustrations without even being in a car.

Saturday’s setting was a college town, so there were plenty of restaurants to choose from.

My siblings and their spouses volleyed choices back and forth, from Chinese to Mexican. We even debated a “Freezer Sale” underway at a local grocer with my sister recommending some sort of rice dish at the unbeliev-

Out whipped a cell phone.

While indecisions festered, my wife calmly called up the app for one of the first restaurants mentioned. Soon we were all focused on the options of that particular menu and a click or two later, our problem was solved. At least for the moment.

In today’s world, however, Google knows everything. I previously mentioned in this space how Google flagged us as we drove to Sunday worship without us having to do anything.

That happened again this past Sunday! Evidently, all you have to do is create a predictable habit and Google’s got your number.

So, I’m beginning to worry.

During the normal work week, when in need of a quick sandwich I usually just order cold tuna with American cheese.

But, what if I want to call in an order of beef on rye?

Me: Is this the right number to order a sandwich?

Google: Yes. Me: But, you don’t sound like the gals I know behind the counter.

Google: No, sir. Google now controls everything.

Me: OK. I would like to order a sandwich.

Google: Do you want your usual, sir?

Me: My usual? Do you know me?

Google: According to our caller ID data sheet, the last 20 times you called you ordered cold tuna on Italian herb & cheese bread with American cheese slices, spinach, extra onions, tomatoes (with no salt), a few green pepper strips, two or three banana peppers and plenty of sweet onion sauce.

Me: You do know me. That’s what I want.

Offering

Google: May I suggest flatbread instead?

Me: What?

Google: Your cholesterol is not good, sir.

Me: That’s none of your business.

Google: It’s not a problem, sir. We cross-reference your phone number with your medical records. We have the results of your cholesterol and blood pressure counts since you started taking particular notice as of April 2, 2016.

Me: I know, I know. I should lay off the breads. I’m already taking medication for my blood pressure as well as for cholesterol.

Google: Excuse me, sir. You probably haven’t taken your medication today. You can only purchase 30 tablets at a time by your prescription and this is Day 63 from your last date of purchase.

Me: I don’t always buy from the same drug store, you know.

Google: That may be true, sir, but Google Map confirms the location of only one drug store where you live and your credit card statement does not indicate any other drug store transactions anywhere else, not even online.

Me: What if I paid in cash?

Google: But you did not withdraw enough cash, according to your last bank statement.

Me: I can’t believe it. You think you know everything!

Google: Not yet, sir. Just wait until Bitcoin becomes the daily currency.

Me: Oh, yeah? Then I’ll just develop multiple sources of hard, cold cash.

Google: Just make sure it all shows on your tax return... or admit you’re buying things using undeclared income sources which, of course, is against the law.

Me: I JUST WANTED TO BUY A SANDWICH! Google: Of course, sir. We only acquire this information with the sole intention of helping you.

Me: Forget it. I’ll just drive out and get a pizza.

Google: I understand, sir, but you need to renew your vehicle license. It expired two weeks ago...

Greetings from Poosey.

It’s already begun... the season of campaigning as November approaches and we are bombarded by ads of character assassination instead of substance. We’re headed toward another year of electing people on the basis of what we dislike about their opponent with little real knowledge of what our candidate stands for. It makes one wonder what it would have been like if all politicians were slaves to their donors and political consultants intent on ignoring principles and embracing emptiness.

“Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.”

(Memo from Gettysburg Consulting Firm: Abe, what say we draw back a little on this? Remember: every speech you give is a campaign speech. “A new nation?” ...there goes the Native American vote plus all the voters of Norse heritage who still have a thing for Leif Ericson. As to the “created equal” bit, you need to keep the red states in mind. Naming only “men” might play well with the ultra-conservative evangelicals but you’ve got to remember that there are more women voters than men. And while we’re at it, what’s with the “Four score and seven” routine? You end up sounding like one of those liberal coastal elites. Just say 92, or whatever that means.)

“Now we are engaged in a great civil war... ” (Our consulting firm suggests “conflict” and not “war.” It’s technically the south that started the thing, right? Maybe you won’t have so many people mind that their young men and women are dying if you simply refer to it as a “conflict.” It sounds less messy.) “...testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure.”

(Nothing wrong with this, but are you sure you want to use the word “conceived” with the current Supreme Court nominations pending?)

“We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.”

(Now you’re rolling, Abe. An entire paragraph without offending anyone.)

“But, in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate — we cannot consecrate — we cannot hallow — this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced.”

(Mr. L: the current trend in presidential candidates is to take recognition for as much as possible. You seem to be indicating here that the soldiers should get the credit.)

“It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us...” (Easy now. This sounds like a campaign promise.

You don’t want to be held to this by your opponents.) “ ...that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion — that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain — that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom — and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.” (Great stuff ...appeals to the religious right, the veterans’ groups, and even the tree huggers with the earth stuff, and it’s just vague and wordy enough that no one will ever hold our feet to the fire on this one.)

I would like to think that Mr. Lincoln would have rejected any such advice and that in his noble mind any man or woman who would erode our democracy for their own selfish purposes would be branded as much a traitor as Benedict Arnold. Word has it that Abe is no longer with us so we may be stuck with men and women of less principled character. Maybe we should try the Lord’s Prayer unless they’ve revised that one, too.

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

No ‘Kansas’ type of tax reform

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

In the 2018 legislative session, which ended last May, one of the bills debated was HB2540. This started off as a massive tax reform bill, encompassing income tax, sales tax, internet tax, property tax, vehicle license fees, and more.

The initial printing of HB2540 was over an inch thick, double sided. At the time, I spoke to a group of constituents and said I thought the bill was simply too big to pass.

Most legislators that I work with would be reluctant to vote for a bill that they had not read and understood, and while HB2540 did have some good components, a bill the size of its original draft was simply too bulky to be digested by most members with our workload.

As HB2540 worked its way through the process, it was trimmed and simplified until the final product was about the size of a pamphlet, and dealt strictly with personal income tax.

The idea was to eliminate some exemptions and close some loopholes in the tax code, which would allow state income

tax rates for Missourians to be lowered without negatively affecting the state’s budget.

This bill would piggyback on the federal income tax cut that was passed at the end of 2017.

In its final version, HB2540 used money obtained by reducing federal tax write-offs to lower income tax rates from the 6.0% they were in 2017 to 5.5%.

Additionally, if our economy shows strong growth and government tax revenues increase, that windfall will be shared back to the Missourians that earned it by incrementally inching rates down to 5.1%.

Missourians should soon notice less taxes being deducted from their paychecks, which essentially acts as a pay raise.

Critics of HB2540 have pointed out that Kansas recently had a tax cut experiment that failed, and therefore all plans that lower income taxes will fail.

The difference is that the Kansas government lowered their taxes without lowering their spending, and then crossed their fingers and hoped that the Kansas economy would flourish.

When that didn’t pan out, they

were in a financial bind and had to reverse some of their cuts.

Other states have learned from Kansas’ mistakes to create better tax reforms.

Missouri’s plan to offset the lower rates by closing loopholes in the tax code should create a breakeven in government revenues, with future growth coming from being a more financially attractive state in which to live and conduct business. And any future lowering of rates is smartly only triggered by this future economic growth.

On July 12, Gov. Parson signed HB2540 into law at a ceremony in Springfield. Present were the House and Senate handlers of the bill (Rep. Haahr and Sen. Eigel), myself, and several area legislators.

While HB2540 was not my bill, as vice-chairman of the House Ways & Means committee, I did have some input into streamlining it and correcting some of its original flaws.

It was an honor to receive a signed copy of the bill from the governor, and to be a part of bettering the lives of my fellow Missourians.

August is World Breastfeeding Awareness Month. The first week of August (1-7) is dedicated to World Breastfeeding Week.

How awesome is that, to have a whole month dedicated to raise awareness about breastfeeding?

Every year there is a “theme” to go with Breastfeeding Month; this year it is “Breastfeeding: Foundation of Life.” Breastfeeding is such a wonderful gift to be able to give your baby, despite the challenges that may come along with it.

Breastfeeding moms need support, encouragement, and love, and that is part of the reason for dedicating a whole month to breastfeeding.

I am more than happy to help.

If you’re a breastfeeding mama that is able to reach out and help another mama that is struggling, please don’t hesitate to do so. Be part of the change of normalizing breastfeeding!

Saint Joseph Health Department does a wonderful job of putting together activities for World Breastfeeding Month and anyone is welcome to join in on those. You can find event pages for all of the events on Facebook.

General Information GALLATIN R-V SCHEDULE - All Three Buildings School will begin at 8:00 a.m. and will dismiss at 3:00 p.m. SPECIAL NOTE — Students should not arrive at school before 7:40 a.m. They are not supervised prior to 7:40 a.m.

SCHOOL LUNCHES Lunches will be served to all children K-12 Wednesday, August 22. K-5 students will pay $2.55. 6-12 students will pay $2.85. All extra milk will cost 30 cents per carton. Adult lunches are $3. (These prices subject to change during school year.) Students will be assigned a lunch account number and are encouraged to keep their lunch account up to date.

We do operate a high school breakfast program. All students who qualify for free lunches and reduced price lunches are urged to take advantage of this program. The reduced price breakfast will cost 30 cents. All regular students who qualify neither for free nor reduced breakfast may eat breakfast by paying the full price of $1.50.

We also urge all those of low income status to apply for free or reduced price lunches. The cost for those who qualify for reduced price lunches will be 40 cents per lunch. Forms to apply may be picked up at the school offices.

School starts Aug. 22 at Gallatin R-5

TRANSPORTATION Bus time schedules and routes will be similar to last year with some minor adjustments. We will try to notify parents if their child is to ride a different bus than last year. Your child riding the bus allows the district to receive funds from the state, and if they do not ride, no state aid is received. It is very helpful if parents put their children on the bus the first day of school as this allows a more accurate establishment of route and load.

Town buses will not make any stops west of a line running north and south on Water Street. Our last pickups west of Highway 13 will be at the corners of Ogden and Water, Richardson and Water, Mill and Water, Johnson and Water, Van Buren and Water. We will not be transporting in the Sullenger Addition. Students west of Water Street are expected to walk to school; except, students may walk back one block to Water Street to get on the bus if they are within one block west of Water Street. Students living on the street of Gallatin Estates will be transported.

If you have a change of address, please contact the office.

You can reach the superintendent, high school principals or counselor through the central switchboard phone numbers. The Elementary School Principal’s number is 663-2400. The school FAX number is 663-2559

ELEMENTARY ENROLLMENT All new children who have moved to the school district should report to the elementary principal’s office Aug. 10. New children starting school for the first time must present a birth certificate, social security card, and evidence that they have been properly immunized according to the Missouri Immunization Law, Section 163-017 (RSMo.). “It is unlawful for any student to attend school unless he has been immunized against Rubeola and Rubella, Polio and Diphtheria.” If a child is being transferred from another school, the parents should have available complete information for securing the child’s school records.

Elementary Attendance Guidelines: School Hours: 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

School doors open at 7:40 a.m. Students should plan to arrive after 7:40 a.m.

Early arrival means students are not supervised. Students are considered tardy after 8:10 a.m. Attendance will be closely monitored by the school and intervention strategies and other actions may be necessary. Excessive absences will be defined as four or more full days during a semester, or six tardies per semester.

Parents will be notified at mid-term and quarter when a student has accumulated excessive absences or tardies, either excused or unexcused.

TRANSPORTATION GUIDELINES All students will be required to have notification to ride a bus different from their usual transportation. This applies to parties, rides to baby sitters, scouts, etc. (Those students with routine schedules for working parents need only to notify the office/teachers of changes in that normal schedule.)

A written note with the child is the correct method of notification. Without proper notice, students will be placed on their regular bus. All changes in daily transportation must be arranged with the office before 2:00 p.m. Any transportation requests after 2:00 p.m. will not be possible unless it is considered an emergency situation. All emergency situations will be determined by the building secretary or the building administrator.

GHS Attendance Policy

Mandatory Attendance: Students are required by law to attend school until their 17th birthday. Any student who is under the age of 17 years and is not attending school on a regular basis is in violation of this law. Parents are legally responsible for their child’s attendance. The Division of Family Services and other government agencies will be contacted if a child has an excessive number of absences.

Regular attendance is an important part of education.

Only by attending classes can a student receive the full benefit of instruction. Class participation is one of the areas of student performance used to determine grades. Students are expected to attend all classes every day. Families are urged to schedule vacations and appointments for their students when school is not in session. Parents can have a profound impact on student attendance by leaving absolutely no doubt that the student is expected to be in school.

Note: Students are considered to be TARDY when they are not in class when the bell rings.

1. Students are allowed to be absent the equivalent of four school days (or 27.2 hours) during a semester. Parental discretion is advised in the use of these absences. A note from home or a phone call from the parent is required for these absences to be excused.

2. Each absence after the fourth day {whether it be one class period or an entire day) is automatically unexcused unless the student presents verification from a doctor, dentist, or the school nurse. Court appearances, funerals and extensive circumstances may also be excused by the principal. Documentation must be delivered to the school office within 48 hours of the student’s return to school.

3. For excused absences, students are responsible to make up all work that is missed. This work will be made up according to a schedule agreed upon with the individual teacher. Two days for each day absent is recommended.

Teachers will cooperate with students who make an effort to make up work missed. A student who does not make up work to the satisfaction of the teacher will receive a grade of zero (0) for the work missed.

4. When a student wishes to earn a credit in classes for an absence that is unexcused, he/she will be required to serve an after school study hall. These study halls will be arranged through the office. When the student has satisfied the after-school requirement, teachers may then award credit for the work that was assigned or completed during an unexcused absence. If the student fails to attend the scheduled after-school session, any grade of zero (0) cannot be changed.

5. A student who serves as a Teacher’s Assistant (T.A.) or a Student As Tutor (S.A.T.) and who accumulates more than two unexcused absences during this class time may be reassigned to a different class at the end of the semester.

6 A student must be present for at lease five class periods in order to attend any school function that is held on the same day. Exceptions to this rule may be granted only by prior approval of the building principal.· 7 A student who wishes to be excused for a college visit should make prior arrangements through the Guidance Office.

NOTE ABOUT ATTENDANCE FOR A+STUDENTS: Students who plan to earn A Certification should be aware of the separate A attendance guidelines. For A Certification, students must have at least a 95% attendance rate for a four-year period, regardless of whether the absences are excused or unexcused. For additional information, refer to the A+ Handbook.

“...As if somebody got up from the kitchen table, walked out, and never came back”

Letters from a WWII soldier

7 5 y ears later a strang er reads his story during a rece nt f armhouse renovation

by T . L. H uf f man , s t af f w rit er

Amanda Howe never knows what’s going to turn up as she and her husband Robert begin the work of renovating an old home — but this time she believes they have found the “coolest thing we’ve ever found in any of the homes.”

On the evening of July 18, Amanda was going through a home they’d recently purchased from an investor friend. The farm house is located south of Ludlow and sold with the acreage.

Amanda discovered a box of letters from a World War II soldier. His name was Floyd Woods. There are dozens of the letters and they are all in very good condition.

“I opened up a trash bag full of clothes and out fell the box of letters,” she says. “I was absolutely wowed by them. I read seven before I made myself quit.”

There are dozens of the letters written by a soldier in the Navy stationed overseas.

He is writing to his kinfolk back home. The letters are dated 1940 to 1945. They are in chronological order, going by the postmark.

“I’m also amazed by these stamps, one cent and three cent,” Amanda says. “There are army war planes on the stamps.”

According to deeds and documentation, the family name of the home owners was Neilan, and they had apparently owned the home for over 100 years.

However, most of the letters were addressed to a Bertha Wood in Greeley, CO. Bertha was Floyd’s mother. His father was Joseph O. He had two older siblings, Belva and Charles.

“We don’t know how the letters are linked to the owners of the house,” Amanda says.

They have found other WWII items in the house, from cannonballs to medals.

“There’s a lot of stuff in this house,” says Amanda. “It was fully furnished when we bought it. We still have the garage to go through.”

Amanda and Robert renovate homes for

resale and also build new homes. They are currently building a second home in Chula.

They are renovating homes in Chillicothe, Trenton and Ludlow.

“When we buy homes to renovate, we first clear everything out,” Amanda says.

“My husband sells all the antiques left in the homes. We sell anything valuable and rare, instead of trashing it.”

It’s not unusual to find antiques and unusual items.

“We found a pump organ one time, which was really neat,” Amanda says.

But this ‘find’ is different. This time she has found a personal link to a family and an intimate look into the thoughts and feelings of a war-weary soldier longing for home.

So far through her reading of the letters, she knows that Floyd enlisted in 1940. He was stationed in California at Camp Roberts. He ended up in Italy and North Africa.

“In each letter he writes down where he is at, which helps a lot,” she says.

Not all of the letters are from Floyd. At least one is

from a man named Les, who may have been Floyd’s nephew. The search for how everyone is connected is ongoing with help from friends who have access to genealogical websites.

“Somewhere in the midst, Les gets married. He met his wife Earline in Italy. They were married in 1942.”

Amanda also found a newspaper clipping in the box. The story is about a woman named Dusty Anderson. The date on the clipping is Sept. 29, 1944. She’s not sure how the clipping is connected.

“Mice have chewed up both sides of the newspaper,” she says. “It’s hard to tell why it’s even in there. Maybe I’ll know the story when I read through some more of the letters.”

Wednesday evening her husband was intent on clearing out the garage, but Amanda was intent on reading the letters.

“My father has found the letters very interesting, too,” she says. “He’s a war veteran himself.”

Floyd’s neat, flowing handwriting is easy for her to read once she got used to it.

“For the most part everything is legible,” she says. “I love the way he speaks. He speaks in the ‘40s and ‘50s time era.”

A friend has found information about Floyd Woods on ancestry.com. Floyd’s wife’s name was Mary Evelyn She has posted pictures of his gravestone showing he passed away in 1975.

“This means he survived the war,” Amanda says. “But he was only 57 when he died.”

For Amanda the letters are a fascinating glimpse into another time and place.

She is aware of a sense of sadness as she sits in the old farm home and reads the letters.

“It was as if somebody got up from the kitchen table and walked out and never came back,” she says.

Mechanical issues with one of the machines used in the resurfacing project through Cameron has altered the schedule of ramp and access closures.

The Missouri Department of Transportation has contracted with Herzog Contracting Corporation to complete the U.S. Route 36 resurfacing project which stretches from Grindstone Creek to just east of the Caldwell County line. Crews are milling off the old surface and then adding two lifts of new asphalt through this area.

Below is the revised planned scheduled of milling, resurfacing, and ramp. This work will take place during daylight hours and closures could be in place as early as 6 a.m.

• Wednesday, July 25 - Resurfacing the westbound driving lane near Ensign Trace. Access to Ensign Trace on the north side of U.S. Route 36 will be CLOSED • Thursday, July 26 – Resurfacing the eastbound passing lane near Ensign Trace. The median crossover between the eastbound and westbound lanes of U.S. Route 36 at Ensign Trace will be closed.

• Friday, July 27 and Saturday, July 28 – Resurfacing passing lanes of U.S. Route 36. No ramp or median crossover closures planned.

• Monday, July 30 - Resurfacing the westbound passing lane near Ensign Trace. The median crossover between the eastbound and westbound lanes of U.S. Route 36 at Ensign Trace will be closed.
