religious education later in life. “I’m blessed to be serving in two important roles at Comfort Care Hospice with an amazing team of compassionate caregivers,” says Hamilton. “I look forward to working with our current volunteers and I encourage others to consider getting involved.” Becoming a hospice volunteer is a process that involves

training and some paperwork; however, the opportunity to provide compassionate care and support to people in need is priceless. Hospice volunteers can help in many ways, including providing supportive services by in-person visits, phone calls, sending cards, sharing hobbies, assisting with errands, homemaking tasks, and clerical services. “Though COVID-19 restrictions and policies are a challenge at this time, we are working as a team to find safe and creative ways to continue supporting our patients,” says CCH Director Dominique Clark. Comfort Care Hospice serves these 10 counties in Northwest Missouri: Andrew, Buchanan, Caldwell, Clinton, Daviess, DeKalb, Gentry, Harrison, Livingston, and Ray Counties. Palliative care is also now available. For more information about hospice, palliative care, or becoming a volunteer, please call 816-632-4411.

Bombers ‘the’ place in Breckenridge It’s “bombs away” for Bombers, an eating place which recently opened in Breckenridge. The business is owned by Heather Brown. She runs the business herself with help from her mother, Patty Newman. Bombers opened in the middle of May, but the kitchen wasn’t set up to serve food until the first of June. Bombers has candy, snacks, ice, and beer. There are tables and chairs for inside dining, a pool table, a juke box, and a picnic table outside. The menu includes cheddar bits, cheeseburgers, fries, hot dogs, tater tots, tenderloins, chicken strips, onion rings, pepper jack bits, and pizza. For dessert you can choose between an ice cream bowl, a drumstick, or a shake. In the future, Heather is thinking of doing specials like steak night and taco night. Once she gets settled, she is also going to try to get a hard liquor license. Hours are from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Wednesday. The business may stay open a little later Thursday through Saturday. They are closed Sunday. “Come check Bombers out,” Heather says. “Come eat, have

a drink.” As a sideline, Heather has a taxi service. “Don’t laugh,” she says. “I have five teenagers.” She’s willing to travel between 40 to 50 local miles if you need a ride. She also has a dental lab located inside the Bombers building. Heather has been doing dental work since 1997. She started working in Kansas City, opened her own lab in Mooresville, and then moved the lab inside her home in Breckenridge in 2008. Heather owns the building located at 33061 Yard Avenue (M Highway). She had a business there before called Town and Country. She then leased it as the

Getting Place, which was there for a couple of years. She has now opened back up as Bombers, which was the nickname for her father when he was a kid. “People need a place to go,” she says. “There’s no sense in letting the building waste away. It gives the town and the surrounding area someplace to go.” Heather and her husband Donnie Brown have two boys, 16 and 18, are the legal guardians of two girls, 14 and 16, and are fostering a 15-year-old. The teens attend school at Ludlow. Donnie works for Infasource, a utility and pipeline operation.

Heather Brown named her business after her grandfather’s nickname

OPINION

Raccoon in a jar

Although this piece is appropriately called “Raccoon in a jar,” I must properly set your frame of mind. Liz is no master gardener. Yet she dutifully plants annuals each spring, flowers which may or may not blossom but certainly, in normal drought years, die long before first frost. Regardless of rainfall, she greets every planting season with well-earned skepticism. This season there was a large, green pot located in our backyard which Liz targeted for planting. As she dug down to loosen the dirt, however, she realized something was getting in the way. She dug deeper in hopes of getting rid of all the old dead roots. What she instead uncovered was the body of a full grown squirrel! Suspicions were immediately directed at our dog who is normally guilty of whatever you suppose. But there was no loose dirt anywhere around the pot and nothing to prove the dog guilty. The question remains unsolved to this day. So, at least in our family, whenever something baffles and remains unexplained, a password of acknowledgement and acceptance is exchanged. We just shake our heads and say, “Dead squirrel in a pot.” True story. Now one better. One of the best tales I’ve heard during this pandemic is about someone who wears a facemask all the time. Er … well, not exactly a guy, but a critter. I must admit I didn’t witness this event. Everything you read here is a rehash of something shared and thus entirely “second by Darryl Wilkinson hand.” But the visual it delivers in my mind’s eye makes this tale just too good not to share, even if not every detail is exactly on track with the facts. My guess on that count is that you had to be there. But here goes. My son-in-law said he noticed a critter ambling across the driveway. This is not unusual (after all, this is the son-in-law who once woke up to shoot a buck deer from his front porch one morning while still wearing his sleeping boxers). Anyways, in the approaching darkness of that particular evening he couldn’t exactly make out what was crossing his driveway. He assumed it was a cat, although it was acting a little weird. So, curiosity required investigation in the deepening shadows of an encroaching twilight. A couple of doubletakes later, the critter turned out to be a goodsized raccoon – maybe 12 pounds or more! But something wasn’t right – and we’re not talking about rabies, not in this instance. No, the raccoon’s head was somehow stuck in a bottle – and I’m not talking about alcohol, even though the critter was staggering around like it was four sheets to the wind. The ringtail definitely wasn’t a cat or anything else you’d expect to stumble across while minding your own business as you head toward the barn. In a word: strange. Whether or not the raccoon was unable to see the approaching human is best left to your imagination. His world was totally within the sphere of that once-discarded Skippy peanut butter container, oblivious to all else. To his credit, my son-in-law’s first impulse was to help the poor critter out of his misery. But (and ain’t this the way about good intentions) that initial impulse eventually led to a couple of swings with a baseball bat. The idea was to shatter the glass jar to free the poor critter. The problem was that the jar wasn’t glass. So, you tell me, how would you extract a raccoon’s head from a plastic jar? My son-in-law (always mindful of song lyrics and so with apologies to country singer Buck Owens) opted to “act naturally.” He bent over and took the problem by the horns … er, plastic head. But as he raised up it quickly occurred to him how raccoons have extremely sharp claws. Now, picture yourself a few yards down the driveway looking up at a guy holding a raccoon by its head with its body writhing in contortions which varied by rising elevation — a 6-foot tall silhouette holding terror at arm’s length -- all framed in the glowing brightness of a bad moon rising. But think fast. It was over in a heartbeat. The raccoon was oblivious to his new elevated perspective. Rather than taking a swipe at his captor, the ‘coon was entirely focused on escaping from that plastic jar. With no help from my son-in-law (you might even say in spite of my son-in-law … but that would be cruel), the critter was frantically trying to grasp the lip of that jar to pry himself loose. And, to both their surprise, it worked! So, there stood my son-in-law with plastic jar still in hands, looking down at the escapee suddenly plopped free on the ground yet stunned as if in a stupor. For a moment, time stood still. Maybe it’s good raccoons can’t talk because, at that point, what could he say: “Thanks for getting me loose” or “Whydidya clobber me twice over the head?” Both man and raccoon wondered what next. My son-in-law later admitted he stood thinking on how best to run wearing cowboy boots, motivated by considering just how feisty an angry raccoon can be. Meanwhile, the raccoon just sat there for a moment or two, apparently in some ecstasy of relief. Eventually their eyes met and, simultaneously, both took full measure of the situation and relaxed. Eventually the old ‘coon was up to take a few feeble steps, although unable to muster any semblance of a lope until well past the edge of the field and back into the timber. My son-in-law always has one or two hunting stories to share, tales I welcome during these days dominated by coronavirus conversation even though I’m no hunter. He shared this episode with a grin while taking a few practice swings with a bat handy just before a pick-up baseball game. Like I said, you probably had to be there to get the truth of what actually happened that evening. Some things are just stranger than true. So, at least in our family, whenever something strange leads to the totally unexpected, the passwords exchanged with a knowing nod and a wink is... “Raccoon in a jar.” No tellin’ what the raccoon’s side of the tale might be. But boy, oh boy, don’t ya know he had something to tell all the squirrels?

Special session to fight crime

by State Rep. J. Eggleston

In my last report, I outlined the Special Session that Gov. Parson called to address the issue of violent crime, primarily in our big cities. Murder rates and violent crime have been on the rise, children have been shot in their homes, and recently a pregnant lady pushing a baby carriage was shot in broad daylight in inner Kansas City. Something has to be done. The Special Session opened on July 27. Bills can start in the House and finish in the Senate, or vice versa. Legislative leadership decided it would be best to have the Special Session debate start in the Senate. Bills relating to the gover-

nor’s call were officially filed on July 27, and the Senate’s Public Safety Committee held a hearing on July 28. While 45 different bills were filed in the House and Senate, the primary bill is Senate Bill 1. This contains legislation addressing all of the elements of the governor’s call: (1) allow St. Louis cops to live outside of St. Louis; (2) define when a juvenile may be tried as an adult; (3) establish protections for witnesses and their testimony; (4) criminalize giving a weapon to a minor without their parent’s consent and encouraging a minor to engage in any weapons offense. In the hearing, testimony was

taken from numerous law officers and prosecutors in favor of the bill. They felt the changes made in SB 1 would give them better tools to catch criminals and reduce future crime. Testimony was also heard from the ACLU and race-based groups opposing SB 1 who are against more people going to jail. The Senate will resume action the first week of August. It is expected the House will then get their crack at the bill the second week of August. If the House passes the exact same language that the Senate passed, the bill will go to the governor for his signature. If the House amends the bill, it would have to go back through the Senate again for their final approval.

Federal dollars for rural roads

by Congressman Sam Graves

Billions of dollars in federal infrastructure funding is awarded through competitive grants every year. The competitive nature of these grants ensures our tax dollars are being spent wisely on the most important and pressing infrastructure projects across the country. From the Champ Clark Bridge replacement in Louisiana (MO) to the South Main Corridor Improvement Project in Maryville and numerous infrastructure projects in between, North Missouri has done an outstanding job of securing these grants over the last few years and I’ve been proud to help them along the way. However, just like every federal grant process, it can be cumbersome and overwhelming for many communities who don’t have the resources or manpower to navigate the federal bureaucracy to find and secure grants to improve their infrastructure. With more than 70% of our highway miles running through rural America, this impacts everyone, regardless of where we call home. Every day, Americans take more than one billion trips, many of which rely on rural roads to get them where they’re going. In fact, urban residents make up roughly half of the traffic on rural roads. Even in this time of social distancing, when many Americans are choosing to forgo trips and

stay home, we still rely on rural roads to get our agriculture products from the farm to the supermarket and ship American-made products across the country. With this in mind, U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) Secretary Elaine L. Chao unveiled the Rural Opportunities to Use Transportation for Economic Success (ROUTES) Initiative in St. Louis last October. This innovative approach is designed to give small rural communities a better shot at getting more of these federal transportation grants. The ROUTES Initiative provides rural grant applicants with a user-friendly toolkit to navigate USDOT discretionary grant programs and the application process. It’s designed to help communities with every level of

grant application experience and maximize their success in securing the transportation funding they need. You can find the ROUTES Initiative toolkit at https://www. transportation.gov/rural. Making sure North Missouri communities can compete on a level playing field for transportation dollars has been a focus of mine for years. When I introduced the STARTER Act earlier this year to make smart investments in our nation’s infrastructure, addressing the needs in rural areas like ours was one of my top priorities. I’m glad to see the Trump Administration, and Secretary Chao in particular, have recognized this need and implemented the ROUTES Initiative to get the job done.

Controversy focuses on the responsibility of journalists As an emeritus faculty member of the University of Missouri School of Journalism, I feel compelled to offer some thoughts about the recent controversy involving the tweets by two school newsroom reporters and the university president’s response. I suspect none of them will be pleased by what I write. In my opinion, the two reporters violated journalism standards by tweeting personal criticisms about MU police questioning one of them about a spray painting next to the quadrangle statue of Thomas Jefferson. I do not disagree they have a First Amendment right of free speech to say and tweet anything they want. But there are limits. Traditional journalism standards restrict a reporter from voicing personal opinion on an issue the reporter or the reporter’s newsroom is covering. Journalism is not the only profession restricting free-speech rights. Health care providers, by law, are not allowed to talk about individual patient health issues. Lawyers cannot talk about client information without approval. Educators, like I once was, cannot disclose personal student information.

On the other hand, I think University President Mun Choi was wrong to term staff dissent with the administration “totally counterproductive,” as reported by the Columbia Tribune’s Rudi Keller. Beyond that, Choi suggested administrators have a responsibility essentially to toe the line when top administraby Phill tors have made a decision, and if not, “it’s time Brooks to start looking for another job.” That argument violates a bedrock principle of academic freedom which includes the right of students, faculty and administrators to speak their minds about university issues pushed by the university administration. MU has a long history of faculty and administrative dissent against plans by top university leaders. The most profound in my time was faculty opposition to University of Missouri President Brice Ratchford’s 1972 “Role and Scope” plan to consolidate programs among the four campuses. Faculty and some administrators at MU were deeply opposed, fearing it would diminish their programs. It deeply angered

Want justice? Start by ﬁlling out your census by Suzanne McCormick

Those living in our nation’s poor and minority communities have historically gone undercounted in the U.S. Census. For instance, nearly one million Black Americans went uncounted nationwide in the 2010 Census. Fortunately, there’s an easy step you can take that will go a long way towards ensuring everyone in our communities gets the representation and resources they deserve. By completing the 2020 census questionnaire -- online, over the phone, or by mail -- you can add your voice to the conversation and make yourself and your family heard. Here are five ways your census response will help you and your fellow Americans. 1. It advances racial equity. In recent months, millions have taken to the streets to call for racial equity and justice. These protests have helped amplify the voices of underserved communities. But real change will only take place when these demands become public policy. For that to happen, our government needs to see you. And that can only happen if you stand up to be counted. The racial inequities that undermine our nation can never be addressed unless you fill out the census and join the fight for social justice. 2. It directs funding to programs that save lives. As the COVID-19 outbreak continues to ravage the country, it’s critical that we direct our emergency resources to those who need them the most. Black and Latinx Americans are disproportionately impacted by the virus and are twice as likely to die from COVID-19. Wealth also factors into the survivability of COVID-19. Adults with an annual household income below $15,000 are nearly 15 percent more likely to contract a serious illness following infection compared to those with annual incomes over $50,000. Your census response helps essential workers identify at-risk communities and directs resources to these vulnerable populations. The coronavirus won’t be the last time certain communities are disproportionately impacted by a natural disaster. Accurate census data will prepare first responders, nonprofit relief organizations, and government officials to respond to future crises. 3. It funds everything from public housing to school breakfasts. This year’s census will determine how trillions of dollars in federal spending are allocated over the next decade. In 2017 alone, over 300 federal programs relied on 2010 census data to allocate $1.5 trillion of funds. That money pays for everything from public housing to school breakfast programs, new roads to trash and recycling schedules. Federal dollars won’t reach the communities that need them most unless the government has a precise picture of your local population. You must paint that picture by letting them know you are there. 4. It ensures fair political representation. Ever wonder why Ohio has 16 seats in the House of Representatives, while Georgia has only 14? The number of representatives a state gets increases with its population -- and the census determines its population. You pay taxes, right? Well, don’t you want to be fairly represented? The results of the 2020 census will shape the Congressional map for the next decade. If you want a Congress that represents your community and serves your interests, make sure the government accounts for you and your family. 5. It creates jobs. Census data doesn’t just help government officials. Businesses consult the census when making hiring and payroll decisions, or where to locate a new office, or when determining how best to serve their communities For instance, understanding the demographic of a particular neighborhood can help a local grocer determine which items to stock. This knowledge helps her business grow and creates jobs in your neighborhood, while delivering needed items to the marketplace. Editor’s note: Suzanne McCormick is president of United Way. You have until Oct. 31 to fill out the 2020 U.S. census. Change doesn’t happen without you.

Ratchford. I know, because he and I had a close relationship in which he would conﬁde to me his thoughts in nearly weekly offthe-record conversations -- a relationship I never disclosed until well after his death. While harshly criticizing the coverage of his plan by the Journalism School’s newsroom reporters, I don’t remember him ever suggesting it amounted to disloyalty. There is, however, another side to this story. What should a newsroom do when a reporter who voices or tweets an opinion on a major issue covered by the newsroom? At the very least, I think the reporter should be admonished and maybe prohibited from covering that issue or agency until the issue dies down. Further, the newsroom should be public about the steps taken when a reporter violates newsroom standards. And if a newsroom does not have a policy prohibiting reporters from voicing public opinions about issues covered, the newsroom ought to adopt such a policy immediately and make it public on the newsroom website so everyone can see

C Capitol apitol P Perspectives erspectives

the standards under which the newsroom operates. Maybe the MU Journalism School should adopt a set of standards for all its newsrooms and post them prominently on the school’s website, similar to what my Broadcast Department chair directed me to write for KOMU-TV and KBIA radio decades ago before the web. My profession is under such attack today that transparency and adherence to journalism standards has become critical to maintaining public trust. A public set of standards for all the newsrooms of the world’s ﬁrst journalism school might help enforce public trust in our profession and set an example for others. Finally, I think this episode demonstrates a need for journalism schools and newsrooms to stress caution to reporters about the use of social media -- before they suffer the fate of a couple of close journalism colleagues who were ﬁred because of stupid social media comments written in haste. Editor’s note: Phill Brooks has been a Missouri statehouse reporter since 1970, making him dean of the statehouse press corps. He also is the statehouse correspondent for KMOX Radio.

Food pantry pops up at Gallatin Second Harvest Community Food Bank and the Gallatin community will have a Pop-Up Mobile Pantry visiting next week. Gallatin pantry will be held from 10 a.m. to 12 noon, while supplies last, on Tuesday, Aug. 11, at the Seventh Day Adventist Food Pantry. The food pantry is located at 1210 Willow Street in Gallatin. Enter off East Burns to South Willow. Second Harvest Community Food Bank alongside volunteers will be distributing food through a one-day mobile food drop. Second Harvest recognizes the need within this area and is taking action by bringing food to the food insecure individuals. This program is open to the general public. There are no income guidelines.

Jameson Picnic The City of Jameson invites you to come celebrate the 129th Annual Jameson Picnic being held Aug. 7 & 8 at the Jameson City Park, sponsored by the Jameson Lions Club.

Humphreys observe 70th anniversary Cecil and Helen Humphrey of Lake Viking will observe their 70th anniversary on Sept. 3, 2020. They were married Sept. 3, 1950, in King City. They are the parents of two children, Stan (Jan) Humphrey of Gallatin and Dinah (Walter) Franz of Rochester, MN. They have four grandchildren, Jacob (Erin) Humphrey of Gallatin,

Tye (Brady) Speer of Lake Viking, Shannon (Tyler) Mason of Centralia, and Ryan Franz of Rochester, MN; and five greatgrandchildren. Both Cecil and Helen observed their 90th birthdays in March. They reside at 114 Lake Viking Terrace, Gallatin, MO 64640.

Imagine your story reaches the “happily ever after” This summer’s reading program comes to the end of the story next week. Big plans for a week-long extravaganza full of crafts, games, food, and fun were the plan, but as many things, our current state of re-opening has caused a change of plans. Thursday, Aug. 13, beginning at 10 a.m., Rocket Club LIVE will broadcast instructions for each of the crafts. Look for calming jars, light-up wands, Dragon’s eyes, and astronaut pudding. Then race to the library, don your mask, and collect packets with supplies, instructions, and snacks all to go, while supplies last. All registered summer readers have reserved packets and should come to the “will call” table. Masks are required. Many families took advantage of the weekly Facebook Live programming options. From Bingo, to Rocket Club, and to Rocket Boosters Storytime---averaging 5, 30 and 40 “engagements”, respectively. Probably the most exciting addition to this year’s program

was the addition of the Dragon’tale’-gates which served box lunches to Gallatin, Jameson, Coffey, Pattonsburg, Winston, and Altamont once each week all summer. According to feedback from the state Summer Food Service Program, sponsors should expect a low attendance the first year and double the second year. The library recorded 167 meals served in June, so 2021 should be an exciting second year. Reopen staging policy was reviewed Aug. 1 and determination to remain at the current level of caution was agreed. Stage 4 allows library access, with masks required for entry and baskets for browsing. Books continue to be quarantined, therefore all returns accepted through the book drops. For more information about any of these policies, call the library 660-663-3222 or visit our website at www.daviesscountylibrary.org, therefore all returns accepted through the book drops. Jamesport branch continues

with hours on Thursdays 12-5 p.m. and Saturdays 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Seating is configured to allow for social distancing. Computers are available and families are allowed free access.

Notice of Tax Rate Hearing Winston R-VI School District

A hearing will be held at 7:00 pm, August 17, 2020 in the school library, Winston R-VI School District, Winston, MO, at which time citizens may be heard on the property tax rates proposed to be set by the Winston R-VI School District, a political subdivision. The tax rates are set to produce the revenues from the property tax required by the budget for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2020. Each tax rate is determined by dividing the amount of revenue needed by the current assessed valuation. The result is multiplied by 100, so the tax rate will be expressed in cents per $100 valuation. (*Estimates reflect the most accurate information at the time of posting. Changes can be made by the Board of Education at the Tax Rate Hearing and finalized by September 1st)

SCHOOL/SPORTS

‘Return to Learn’ reentry plan for Winston R-6 Winston R-6 has made available a reentry plan for students starting back to school on Aug. 25. Superintendent Brian Robinson says weeks of planning and input from multiple individuals and agencies went into developing the plan. “It has been an unusual five months since we stopped inperson classes because of COVID-19,” he wrote in a letter to parents. “So many changes have taken place and continue to do so. With that being said, I have never been so excited to have students and the full staff back to school.” Robinson notes that everyone is going to need to be very flexible as school starts the year. It might take several tries and additional practice to get new procedures to work correctly or staff might find that what looks

good on paper does not work like they thought it would and have to shift gears. “Just like teachers never discover new and different ways to teach without trying new things, we will not know how the plan will work until we try it,” Robinson notes. “The plan is rather long, but it is meant to be thorough, so everyone is informed how the Winston R-6 School District plans to ‘Return to Learn’.” The plan can be found on the school’s web page and Facebook. It can also be found on this newspaper’s website.

Back to School Bazaar is off After conferring with the Daviess County Health Department, Gallatin R-5 administration, and the Bright Futures volunteers, Covel D.

Bright Futures will still be providing students who are in need of school supplies with those supplies through community donations. Students may sign up for this assistance during the enrollment process. Searcy Elementary hopes to return to our community event next school year and appreciates the community’s understanding.

Winston R-6 increases hard surface parking

Improvement projects continue at Winston R-6 even when school is out. Lots of hard surface parking was added to the school campus during the week of July 8.

Warrant for Odessa man after May chase

Dylan R. Robertson, 27, Odessa, was charged July 30 in connection with an incident that occurred in Gallatin on May 22. He was charged with possession of controlled substance, D felony, and misdemeanors of driving while revoked, resisting arrest, and drug paraphernalia, as well as second degree trespassing, an infraction. According to the probable cause statement, Gallatin Police Officer Andrew Alborn observed two vehicles pull into the Casey’s parking lot to get gas on May 22. A red Geo Storm did not have a front license plate and was bearing an expired plate on the back. A few minutes later as Office Alborn was following the vehicles, it appeared that they were attempting to elude the officer as he attempted a traffic stop for the plate offenses. As the two vehicles were headed west on Jackson Street, the green Chevrolet stopped just before the intersection to Water Street, and the red Geo Storm drove off the south side of the roadway, through the yard located at 308 W. Jackson Street and then came to a stop in the yard of the squirrel cage jail. When the officer reached the Storm, the driver had fled on foot. Office Alborn was able to positively identify the driver as Dylan Robertson by speaking with his girlfriend. A records check showed that Robertson’s driving privileges were revoked and he had a prior conviction for driving while revoked and two convictions for no driver’s license. Robertson was able to elude officers and was not taken into custody that night. The following day during an inventory of the vehicle, methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia were found. Robertson is also on probation in District 19 for stealing $750 or more and stealing of any firearm. A warrant has been issued for Robertson. Bond is denied. ***** Honesty once pawned is never redeemed.

He was named to Distinguished Class of Alumni at NCMC and recently inducted into the NCMC Athletic Hall of Fame. The founder of the Miss Trenton Area Scholarship Pageant, Maxey served as its director or producer for over 30 years and was the director of field operations and business manager for the Miss Missouri Pageant.

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 line running north and south on Water Street. Our last pickups west of Highway 13 will be at the corners of Og- den and Water; Richardson and Water, Mill and Water, Johnson and Water, Van Buren and Water.

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 26.6 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 with 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(O) 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 afterschool 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 (O) 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 the class time may be reassigned to a different class at the end of the semester. 6. A student must attend school the day before any scheduled field trips, school visits, or competition away from district. Extenuating circumstances will be handled by the high school principal. 7. A student must be present for at least 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. 8. 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 guideline. For A+ Certification, students must have at least a 95% attendance rate for a four-year period, regardless of whether the absences were excused or unexcused. For additional information, refer to the A+ Handbook.

Ronald Keith Harlow 1947-2020

Ronald Keith Harlow, 72, of Kearney, passed away at home on July 19, 2020 after a courageous battle with cancer. He was surrounded by love from his family just as he was in life. Ronald “Ronnie” was born to Van and Virginia Harlow on Oct. 22, 1947 and was raised in Gallatin. There he attended school excelling in both basketball and football. After school he went to work for General Motors where he stayed on for 37.7 years before retiring in 2005. He made many close friends throughout those years and acquired many skills, most famously for the harmonica which he played with great joy if you got him on the right occasion. He had a deep love for blues music and even traveled annually to the King Biscuit Blues Festival in Mississippi for many years. He was a devoted grandfather, beloved brother-in-law and uncle, loving husband, and the best dad. He is survived by his loving wife of 53 years, Sandra; brother, James (Gail) Harlow of Kansas City; two daughters, Christi Harlow of Kearney and Beth (Joel) Harlow of Kansas City; five grandchildren; seven great grandchildren; as well as four sisters-in-law, two brothers-in-law, and many nieces and nephews that thought the world of him. He was preceded in death by his parents, Van and Virginia Harlow of Gallatin; brother, Terrance Harlow of Kearney; paternal grandparents, Luther and Murl Harlow; and maternal grandparents, Otis and Gladys Grogg. A celebration of life is planned for the fall and details will be updated as the time approaches. Kansas City Hospice provided such personal care and support to Ron and his family, so in lieu of flowers they ask that donations be made on his behalf to: KC Hospice, 1500 Meadow Lake, Parkway/Suite 200, Kansas City, MO 64111. Arrangements in care of Fry-Bross & Spidle Funeral Home, Kearney. [Paid Obit]

by Pastor Steve Ellison John the Baptizer, the forerunner, the voice crying in the wilderness, the one making ready the way of the Lord, the one making the Lord's paths straight, started his ministry this way: Now in those days John the Baptist came, preaching in the wilderness of Judea, saying, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." (Matthew 3:1-2, NASU) Jesus, the Promised One, the Christ, the Messiah, the Holy One of God, when He heard that John the Baptizer was imprisoned, started His ministry this way: From that time Jesus began to preach and say, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." (Matthew 4:17 NASU) Surely you see the common theme. As Jesus ministered in Galilee, He denounced the cities where no repentance occurred. He declared an extremely unfavorable outcome for them in the judgment to come. Jesus sent out the twelve disciples in pairs to minister in His name. Mark 6:12 records their ministry, They went out and preached that men should repent. (NASU) In the Pentecost sermon of Peter, the first from the disciples following the Ascension of Jesus, Peter declared the hearers of the sermon to be guilty of crucifying Jesus. Acts 2:37-38 records the dialogue that followed: Now when they heard this, they were pierced to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, "Brethren, what shall we do?" Peter said to them, "Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.” (NASU) Surely you see the common theme continuing. In the middle of a long series of teachings on diverse topics, in Luke 12-13, Jesus emphasized this theme of repentance in a way that I think speaks directly to me and the confused, chaotic culture around me. Luke 13:1-5 states, Now on the same occasion there were some present who reported to Him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices. And Jesus said to them, "Do you suppose that these Galileans were greater sinners than all other Galileans because they suffered this fate? "I tell you, no, but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish. "Or do you suppose that those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them were worse culprits than all the men who live in Jerusalem? "I tell you, no, but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish." (NASU) In a few short lines, the Creator of the Universe and Master Teacher said twice, “I tell you, no, but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish.” If you do not believe that repentance is important, I am not sure how to convince you. Jesus referred to two well-known incidents: some Galileans killed by Pilate while offering sacrifices and innocent bystanders killed in an accident. His point seems to be that those who are seemingly innocent still die and those who are seemingly righteous still die. He then pointed out the obvious: death was coming for His hearers and by implication death is coming for me and you. Just as important, if I die without having repented of my sin and placing my faith in Christ alone for salvation, I will face eternity receiving justice. I am so glad that as a free gift, God has taken justice from me and given me the gift of repentance. The ability to repent is a blessed gift from God. God has replaced justice with forgiveness, mercy, and grace. Will you turn away from your sin and thus at the same time turn toward God (repent)? Will you trust in God, accepting His mercy, grace, forgiveness, and Lordship? Otherwise you will perish and take of all eternity to do so.

These sponsors encourage you to worship God wherever you are, whatever your circumstances:

Election results (continued from page 1)

Another decision among Republicans of note was to determine the nominee for county assessor. Aaron Piburn defeated Joshua Ty Lisle with a 73.48% majority. Daviess County was among a strong rural Missouri voice voting against Amendment 2 to expand Medicaid yesterday. But urban voters carried the measure for passage statewide by a rather slim margin. According to the KC Star and Associated Press, those favoring the measure totaled 672,967 (53.25%) against those opposed totaling 590,809 (46.75%). Missouri will become the 38th state to expand Medicaid eligibility. Currently, Missouri Medicaid does not cover adults without children. Only the disabled, children and parents with income under 22% of the federal poverty level presently are eligible for Medicaid. Passage of Amendment 2 climaxes over a decade of effort to expand Medicaid eligibility in the state. Among those organizations promoting the measure were the Missouri Hospitals Association, the Missouri Chamber of Commerce, Missouri Catholic Conference, and AARP.

November’s election The stage is now set for races to be decided in the upcoming General Election to be held this November. Key races locally include: ● State Representative (2nd District) between incumbent Republican J. Eggleston and Democrat Mindi Smith ● 2nd District Commissioner between incumbent Republican Wayne Uthe and Democrat Greg Houghton ● Assessor between incumbent Democrat Sally Black and Republican Aaron Piburn

A statewide ballot decision of note this November will be the outcome of Amendment 3, a revote on the measure known as “Clean Missouri.” Amendment 3, if passed, would essentially overturn a statewide referendum passed by voters in 2018. At issue is how to best redraw legislative districts following census data.

Residential fire in Old Pattonsburg a total loss The home belonging to the late Lyle and Donna Warford located on the west end in Old Pattonsburg, was lost to fire, according to their son, Lee Warford. Lee’s parents built the home in 1958 and raised their family there until their passing. Donna passed away in 2014 and Lyle passed away in March of this year. Another son, David Warford, was living in the house at the time. The fire was called in

at about 12:02, just after midnight, making the date Aug. 2. The cause of the fire has not yet been determined. A fire inspector is expected to arrive today (Aug. 5) to continue to investigate the cause. The house was a total loss. It was insured. “Pattonsburg is lucky to have these fire departments and first responders,” said Lee Warford. “They are professional, well-trained, and do an out-

standing job. And they’re willing to help each other.” Volunteer firefighters arrived from Pattonsburg Fire & Rescue Protection District and K.A.W. Fire Protection District. He notes that the fire departments were at the structure fire all night, from midnight to 6 a.m., and had to return midmorning Sunday, Aug. 2, when the fire flared back up, and were there until about 11 a.m. Assistance was provided by Missouri State Highway Patrol, Missouri State Fire Marshall, Daviess County Sheriff ’s Office, and N.T.A. EMS Rescue, Daviess County Emergency Management, and American Red Cross.
