cus on Bridges program.

The Focus on Bridges program provides $50 million in state general revenue for the repair or replacement of 45 bridges that had already been prioritized for work. All 45 bridges will be under contract by the end of the year and completed in 2020.

Since these bridges were already programmed in the state’s Statewide Transportation Improvement Program, the $50 million that originally would have been spent on these projects is now available to be used for other important projects. Those new projects will be identified by local planning partners in the 20212024 STIP. Missouri has 10,384 bridges – the sixth most in the nation.

More than 900 of those bridges are in poor condition and 1,131 are weight restricted. Four hundred and thirteen bridges fall into both categories.

OPINION

Sept. 18, 2019

Not nuts over Jesse James Recognizing history is becoming a sort of history itself.

This Saturday marks the fourth time the 1869 bank robbery by Frank & Jesse James has been re-enacted in Gallatin. To be clear, the recreated drama is not a congratulatory celebration but a recognition of the 150th anniversary of a significant historical event.

The first re-enactment occurred in July 1971. It was part of a 3-day event, sponsored by Gallatin Chamber of Commerce, dubbed “Jesse James Centennial” (coinciding with the death of Jesse James in 1882).

The event attracted a large crowd (estimated at over 3,000 persons), including a descendant of Jesse James from Mission, KS – Forster Barr. At that time Mr. Barr and two grandsons of Jesse James operated a museum at the James Farm east of Kearney, MO. Outlaws Frank and Jesse James were portrayed by Phil Tate and the late Wm. Spence Elbert, riding on horses owned by the Wood Brothers.

The re-enactment unfolded on the Gallatin square in front of theatrical backdrops constructed by Gallatin Jaycees. Contractor Darrell Hamilton was in charge. Business Off the Editor’s Spike... buildings at the southwest corner of the square impacted by the event were Gambles Store (now the vacant Fitterer Bldg.), Snyder’s Western Auto Association Store (now Daviess County Title Co.), Hillman Skelly Service (now Adkison Barber Shop), and Yuille’s Café (now owned by Masonic Lodge).

by Darryl Wilkinson The attire for Frank and Jesse James included black cowboy hats donated by Stetson Hat Company of St. Joseph (Phil still has his). The late Bob Snidow portrayed Capt.

John Sheets; the late Bob Paul (president of First National Bank of Gallatin), portrayed bank clerk William McDowell. His role was to run out onto the street screaming, “We’ve been robbed!”

Frank & Jesse James and others on horseback were at the front of the parade. KQTV-2 from St. Joseph helped capture the memories by putting a video into their evening news (KQTV-2 will broadcast publicity again, this time focused by Ken Newton). Some say someone perched atop the then Hillman Service Station (now Adkison Barber Shop) captured the 1971 re-enactment on VHS video. If that footage still exists, we’d certainly like to know.

Despite all the work, the first re-enactment in 1971 was quickly just a memory. Then, nothing happened ... kinda like the real thing, when nobody could know whether it was a one-time wonder or the start of a string.

The second re-enactment in Gallatin occurred almost 20 years later. The modern Chautauqua was rebuilding its reputation as Gallatin’s annual fall festival. Some might say the 1990 edition was its very best.

The bank robbery re-enactment was fresh to a different generation, performed by a traveling re-enactment group from greater Kansas City. A large crowd numbering in the thousands witnessed the parade, led by parade grand marshal Dr. E.E. Nixon, and then stayed for music by Clyde Foley Cummins. This was a high water mark for the modern Chautauqua when the festival was organized by the Daviess County Fine Arts Council. It was a tough act to follow Due to such success, the visiting re-enactors offered to repeat the bank robbery performance the following year. But it rained and, perhaps, the novelty of the shootout was lost in repetition. One of the horses slipped badly on street pavement and was injured, underscoring worries concerning liabilities. In some respects, you might say the 1991 re-enactment played out like the attempted Northfield (MN) bank robbery for the real outlaws – everything just didn’t work out as planned.

This year’s re-enactment, the fourth ever staged here, is more like the very first. Elaine Bohannon and Gallatin Theater League are at

Quick return to the Capitol

by State Sen. Dan Hegeman

Lawmakers were called back to Jefferson City last week for two reasons. On Sept. 11, my colleagues and I returned to the State Capitol for the annual veto session, and the rest of the week was dedicated to trying to find a fix to an issue brought about by a decision made by our state’s highest court.

Following the regular legislative session, the governor vetoed six bills. It was decided not to try and override any of these vetoes this year. We may revisit these individual issues when we return to the Capitol for the regular legislative session in January.

The bulk of the week was focused on the aftermath of a recent decision handed down by the Missouri Supreme Court.

Justices ruled the purchaser of a vehicle can only reduce tax li-

ability when selling one vehicle they already own. Before, the Missouri Department of Revenue would calculate the taxable cost of a new vehicle when someone would sell more than one vehicle at once. As a result of the decision, the governor wanted lawmakers to pass legislation allowing purchasers to use credits from the sale of multiple vehicles.

What followed was House Bill 1 and Senate Bill 1, both of which relate to sales and use tax allowances for certain items. House Bill 1 is the official vehicle for this legislation, and we sent it to the governor on Sept. 13.

Our next regular legislative session is not too far away. Lawmakers will prefile legislation starting in December, and we will be back in Jefferson City starting on Jan. 8, 2020.

How to help a relative with their anxieties, depression

by Stan Popovich

Do you know a friend or loved one who suffers from fear, anxiety, and depression and do not know what to do? It can be frustrating to watch someone you know suffer and not be able to help them.

Here are six ways to help the person cope in these kinds of situations and the best way to deal with anxiety.

1. Learn as much as you can in managing anxiety and depression: There are many books and information that will educate you on how to deal with fear and anxiety. Share this information with the person who is struggling with their mental health issues.

2. Be understanding and patient with the person struggling with their fears: Dealing with depression and anxiety can be

difficult for the person so do not add more problems than what is already there. Do not get into arguments with the person who is having a difficult time with their anxieties.

3. Talk to the person instead of talking at them: It is important not to lecture the person who is struggling with anxiety and depression. Talk to the person about their issues without being rude. Most people will listen if you approach them in a proper manner.

4. Get Help: Seek help from a professional who can help your friend or relative with their mental health struggles. A counselor can give you advice and ideas on how to overcome anxiety, fear, and depression. Getting help from a professional is the number one priority in helping your

Good riddance, WOTUS

By Congressman Sam Graves

Last Thursday was a long time coming. We finally ditched one of the worst government regulations in my lifetime -- the Obama Administration’s disastrous “Waters of the U.S.” (WOTUS) rule.

Back in 2015, then-President Obama and his band of unelected bureaucrats at the EPA, finalized the WOTUS rule -- trying to define farm ponds, streams, and ditches as “navigable waters” that could be used for interstate and international commerce.

This outrageous government overreach would have given the EPA the authority to regulate more than 99% of Missouri farmland however they saw fit. Ultimately, it would have required landowners to seek permission from the EPA to do almost anything on their own land.

Opposition to the Obama Administration rule was loud and fierce. Farmers, small business owners, landowners, local communities, and many others spoke out loudly against the rule -- in North Missouri and across the country. As a sixth-generation farmer, I strongly opposed the new rule from the start because

loved one deal with fear and anxiety. Joining a local mental health support group can also be helpful. Talk to your doctor to get more information about potential groups in your area.

5. Talk to the person on what will happen if they do not get help: Another way to convince the person who is struggling with fear and depression is to tell them what may happen if they don’t get some assistance. Anxiety and depression can make things worse and usually it won’t go away by itself without some kind of treatment.

6. Find Out The Reasons Why The Person Won’t Get Help: Address the issues on why the person will not get the necessary help. Many people who are struggling are fearful and frustrated.

Try to find out the reasons why he or she won’t get the help they need and then try to find ways that will overcome their resistance of seeking assistance.

I knew just how devastating it would be to rural America.

It was a Friday. I was working past 5 p.m. The front office door was locked in hopes of getting off to the Bulldog football game on time.

I grew up in rural, western Harrison County where I learned the major impact and importance of agriculture in our society. My farming background has instilled within me a huge passion for agriculture; with passion comes a strong desire to help those in the agriculture field succeed.

According

to Ken Newton, publicity focusing on this weekend’s Chautauqua is scheduled to be broadcast on KQTV-2 tonight with video online all the time on newspressnow.com and published in print in tomorrow’s edition of the St. Joseph News-Press.

This year’s re-enactment stands apart from the previous as the first festival putting both the bank robbery and also the 1883 Trial of Frank James in the spotlight at the same time.

I look forward to seeing what the GHS Drama Class does with the readings. It reminisces that time when I witnessed a reading theater drama staged by alumni gathered for the 75th anniversary of the founding of the UMKC School of Law in Kansas City.

Lawyers from across the country reunited in formalities celebrating that milestone. They could have chosen anything to mark

the occasion. They chose to focus on the trial of Frank James which occurred here in Gallatin.

The Civil War vengeance of Jesse James was once spotlighted on the cover of National Geographic magazine. Interest about fact and legend continues to grow.

So, it seems to me, we do well to make some effort to know and embrace our history, the good and the bad. It’s a lot of work to pull a re-enactment together — just ask Elaine Bohannon. It is foolish to argue between different versions of history. Perversions occur when history is framed in various shades of “was.” History is, as in the quest for truth.

Obviously, re-enactments cannot possibly be totally accurate. Saturday’s affair will be no different. But if the drama laced with gunshots from horseback riders sparks a thirst to learn of and from our past, well, that’s worth celebrating.

Does crime really pay? You decide...

The assassination of Jesse James by fellow gang member Bob Ford helped vault the life and times of the James brothers from notorious celebrity into legend. The law was unsuccessful in their pursuit to capture and punish the James Boys. After Jesse’s death, Frank James surrendered to authorities and was acquitted by a Daviess County jury during a trial in Gallatin during August, 1883. Here’s a brief summary of what happened to those who rode together in crime: ●● Jesse James – killed on April 3, 1882, by Bob Ford in St. Joseph, MO ●● Cole Younger – spent 25 years in the Minnesota penitentiary ●● Jim Younger – committed suicide at age 54 on Oct. 19, 1902 ●● Bob Younger – contracted tuberculosis in prison, died Sept. 16, 1889 ●● John Younger – killed at age 22 by lawmen in St. Clair County on March 17, 1874 ●● Bob Ford – killed in a saloon shooting June 8, 1892, at Creede, Colorado ●● Charley Ford – committed suicide on May 6, 1884, at Richmond, MO ●● Clell Miller & Bill Chadwell – killed during robbery at Northfield, Minnesota ●● Bill Ryan – spent 25 years in the Missouri penitentiary ●● Ed Miller – killed by Jesse James in Saline County ●● Sam Wells – killed by a posse near Northfield, Minnesota ●● Wood Hite – (cousin of the James Boys) killed during gunfight with Bob Ford and Dick Liddell on Dec. 4, 1881 ●● Clarence Hite – died at age 20 of tuberculosis after serving 13 months of a 25-year sentence in the Missouri penitentiary ●● Tucker Basham – unknown ●● Dick Liddell – served 10 years in the Missouri penitentiary, released upon turning state’s evidence against Frank James and died soon thereafter

Only Frank James was able to live as a law-abiding citizen, having turned away from crime as he entered middle age. During the last 30 years of his life, Frank James lived an honest and peaceful existence, working as a race starter at county fairs, a theater doorman, and a star attraction in traveling theater companies. In 1903, he joined forces with his old criminal partner Cole Younger to form the James-Younger Wild West Show. Frank retired to his family’s old farm at Kearney, MO, where he died at the age of 72 in 1915.

all the producers in the area and get to know each and every one of you.”

As farmers are continuing to suffer from damages because of unjustified trade retaliation from foreign nations, it was recently announced that the Market Facilitation Program (MFP) has been reauthorized for 2019. The sign up for 2019 MFP is now underway at FSA offices and will continue through December 6th.

For 2019, MFP payments will be made to producers of corn, soybeans, wheat, sorghum, alfalfa, millet, oats, rye, triticale, and several other crops that are not typically grown in this area. However, the 2019 program works differently than it did last year. For 2019, MFP assistance is based on a single county payment rate multiplied by a producer’s total planted acres.

A producer’s total eligible acres can’t be more than their total 2018 planted and prevented planting acres, but there are a few exceptions for land that was added to the operation or changes in shares from the previous year. The 2019 payment rate for Daviess County is $63 per acre, and the surrounding counties are all within a few dollars of that amount.

Payments for 2019 MFP will be made up to three times. The first payment is guaranteed and will be made starting

later this month. It will represent 50% of each producer’s total calculated 2019 MFP payment. Then, if trade conditions warrant, the second payment will be made in November, and third payment will be made in early January. The second and third payments will each represent 25% of each producer’s total calculated 2019 MFP payment. MFP payments are limited to a combined $250,000 for nonspecialty crops.

For the Agriculture Risk Coverage (ARC) and Price Loss Coverage (PLC) farm program, we will soon know the 2018 Marketing Year Average Price for corn and soybeans, which will determine if and how much the payment rates will be for both programs.

Let’s keep it clean! Do you have a CRP contract that will be expiring in the next year or two? For those of you that do, please be proactive to ensure those areas are free of trees, gullies, and noxious weeds. When a contract is set to expire and the contract holder request to re-offer the acreage, a field visit will be made (prior to approval) to ensure the acreage is capable of being farmed in a normal workmanship like manner.

If the area to be enrolled is not capable of being farmed, that area will not be

eligible for CRP, unless certain practice provisions apply to an already existing/expiring tree practice. Also note, boundaries may be reduced if trees or brushy cover has grown up in the fence lines or along other existing boundaries. There will be minimal exceptions at the time the offer is made.

If you have been through a CRP signup before, time is limited to get contracts reenrolled & to accept new offers so please be proactive while managing your existing contracts.

Dates to remember: ●●Oct. 1-Nov. 30 -- spray cool season CRP acres if needed for required maintenance ●●Sept. 30 -- Haying or Grazing CRP acres- haying must be complete and livestock removed ●●Oct. 14 -- Columbus Day Holiday.(USDA Service Center is closed) ●●Oct. 30 -- Bales must be removed from CRP managed haying acres ●●Dec. 6 -- Market Facilitation Program (MFP) deadline ●●Dec. 15 -- Deadline to report fall seeded crops such as wheat, rye, triticale We wish everyone a safe harvest and successful fall calving season.

THE LEGEND BEGAN 150 YEARS AGO The 2019 Gallatin Chautauqua marks the 150th anniversary of the Frank & Jesse James robbery of the Daviess County Savings Association, which occurred in 1869. A re-enactment will recapture the moment and is scheduled to take place at 3 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 21. The event will be staged on the northwest corner of the square, near Pierce Auto and the Farmers Bank of Northern Missouri.

important, anyway. A version of the bank robbery performed 25 years ago took place inside the closed building. The audience couldn’t see what was happening.

“We’ve built the skeletal frame of a set so it will be more like watching the robbery on a stage,” says Mrs. Bohannon.

“Our stage will be open so the audience can see Capt. Sheets, the cashier, get shot and Jesse James take the money and run.

Giving the Frank and Jesse James robbery...

“They’re already in period clothing and they know how to react; they don’t need much direction,” Mrs. Bohannon says.

Wes Gay will serve as narrator. The historical narrative was written by Darryl Wilkinson and edited for time by Mrs. Bohannon. Various published accounts, including an opposing Confederate viewpoint concerning this bank robbery, are printed in a special souvenir edition inserted in this newspaper and will be hawked by newsboys immediately following the play.

The audience should expect an action packed performance — horses galloping, guns blazing (blanks, of course), people exclaiming.

“It won’t be totally historically accurate,” Elaine says. “For instance, Jesse James got hung up in a stirrup and drug during the getaway; his horse got loose; and he rode out double. We’re not going to have a horse running loose if we can help it.”

John Bohannon, Elaine’s oldest son, will play Jesse James. Matt Swofford will play Frank. The James brothers will also be riding in the Chautauqua parade as grand marshals, along with all the rest of the gang.

“It’s fun to be in costume, play it up a bit, and celebrate our outlaw heritage,”

Their best shot Although originally planned to take place on location on the southwest corner of the square, a conflict in scheduling has prevented that. The actual robbery in 1869 happened in the building that now houses Missouri Land Title.

“We do what we have to do,” says Elaine Bohannon, Director, who took the late-notice switch of location in stride.

This year’s re-enactment will be done a little differently, from a raised stage being built by John Hommertzheim of rural Gallatin, so the building itself isn’t as

The stage is not a perfect reproduction of the inside of the bank. People will have to use their imagination.”

Spectators will watch from a roped-off area. A public address system will be set up, so everybody should be able to hear.

The re-enactment is expected to last from 20 to 30 minutes.

About 25 volunteers make up the actors. Eight are cowboys and there are 17 townspeople, including a few children. The cast from the Gallatin Theater League will double as townspeople

This bank robbery marks the start of a 13-year crime spree by Frank & Jesse James which became legend. After this robbery, the brothers were branded as wanted outlaws for the first time.

says Mrs. Bohannon. “The James brothers are worth remembering. Not because they were robbers. But because the robbery was historical and it happened here in Gallatin. Not everybody can say that.”

For her as director, the project turned out to be bigger than she was expecting.

“I thought they’d just ride in, rob the bank, and ride out,” Elaine says. “It’s grown into quite a deal, building the stage, finding actors, getting a sound system, getting the music.”

She says the most difficult part is not being able to rehearse on site.

“We can’t just block off the streets in town and run through with horses,” she says. “We will rehearse at Dockery Park.”

Everyone involved in the re-enactment is a volunteer.

“We’ve got one shot and we hope it’s good,” she says. “We hope everybody comes and enjoys the tale. We’ll give it our best shot.”

Matt Swofford (as Frank James) and John Bohannon (as Jesse James) aim to convey what took place in Gallatin, Missouri, on Dec. 7, 1869, during a re-enactment of the robbery and murder at the Daviess County Savings Assn. Those planning to witness this event ...BEWARE!

GHS Drama Club to re-enact trial of Frank James on outdoor stage The Gallatin High School Drama Club will re-enact the trial of Frank James at 4 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 21, on the main stage at Chautauqua.

After the death of his brother Jesse at the hands of Robert Ford, Frank James surrendered in Jefferson City to Missouri Governor Thomas Crittendon.

He had to go to trial for the robbery of the Rock Island Line train at Winston.

The regular Kansas City and Chicago passenger train, on the Rock Island road, was robbed just this side of Winston, and the Conductor, William Westfall, and a passenger, Frank McMillen of Wilton, Iowa, were killed by the train robbers.

After his surrender Frank James was taken to Independence where he was held in jail for three weeks, and later to Gallatin, where he remained in jail a year awaiting trial.

His trial got started on July 20, 1883, which would have been one year after

Jesse’s death (April 3, 1882) and two years after the Winston robbery (July 15, 1881).

“We will be re-enacting the trial and ask the jury to decide if Frank James is guilty of murder during the Winston train robbery,” says Michelle Anthuis, Library Media Specialist and drama teacher at Gallatin R-5.

Thirteen students will participate in the play. They will do a reader’s-theater type performance based on abbreviated testimonies from the trial.

“Directing has been pretty easy,” says Mrs. Anthuis. “It has just taken me awhile to write a script! I had to take testimonies from a trial that lasted over a week and narrow it down to a short reading.”

The play will have a narrator/judge and attorney, along with various individuals that testified in the case. It should last between 30-45 minutes.

Due to conflicts with other school activities and after-school jobs, the cast re-

mains flexible. But so far PJ Johnson is playing Frank James; Gabriel Hacking is playing Dick Liddell; Faith Warner is playing an attorney; Aubrey Burns is playing Zerelda Samuels; and other witnesses include: DJ Schlaiss, Colin Schlaiss, Taylor Schlaiss, Cidnee Toney, Evelyn Baldwin; Christin Burns; Cindy Hacking; and Jordan Donovan.

Mrs. Anthuis says the re-enactment has been a learning experience for everyone involved.

“Because I had to narrow the script to only the highlights, there is much that occurred during the trial that I had to leave out,” she says. “I am encouraging my students to read the entire document on their own.”

The account of the trial can be found in the publication “Life and Trial of Frank James.”

Frank James was acquitted at the Gallatin trial and another trial in Huntsville,

AL. He finally went to Oklahoma to live with his mother. He never was in the penitentiary and never was convicted of any of the charges against him.

“When it comes to the result of the Gallatin trial, one of my students was so shocked she said, ‘What do you mean he was found NOT guilty,’” Mrs. Anthuis says.

She added that she thinks the reading theater is an excellent opportunity for her students to learn about local history while honing their skills on the stage, many for the first time.

“My students are clamoring for more opportunities than just our spring play, so this was the perfect time to do this little project,” she says.

Drama students will also be working with the Squirrel Cage Haunted House during Scare on the Square and the spring play scheduled beginning of April. The drama class will also be performing a play for elementary students in December.

David Cox made a motion to terminate the existing Work Order #1 on this bridge; Wayne Uthe seconded, and the motion passed.

Discussion was held regarding brush mowing issues for the county. The commission will discuss options with mower operator Bill Haggard. The issue was continued until next week.

Unfortunately there was no interest by most of the county officials in having a county float in the Chautauqua parade, so the request has been dismissed.

Three Daviess County residents were granted 30-day extensions for brush cutting: Keith Harpster of Colfax Township for property owned by Kenneth and Nancy Sandy; Johnathan McGinness of Jefferson Township; and Helen Webber of Sheridan Township. Each was granted a COUNTY

30-day extension, as well as a final 30-day extension. Final extension deadlines are as follows: Harpster, Nov. 13; McGinness, Nov. 3; and Webber, Oct. 29.

From the Bench

Security, thanks to O.C. ‘Buddy’ Weller

by Circuit Judge R. Brent Elliott Hardly a day goes by that we do not receive some notification of a shooting or similar act of violence in our country. Frequently, law enforcement officials or other court-related personnel are forced to respond to these situations. Local court and county officials are quite cognizant of these incidents and are taking steps to limit our citizens’ exposure or risk.

The 43rd Circuit (Caldwell, Clinton, Daviess, DeKalb, and Livingston counties) has some unique assistance in the area of security that provides an advantage over most other Circuits.

Section 476.083 of the Revised Statutes of the State of Missouri provides that Circuits meeting a threshold State prison population are entitled to a “Circuit Court Marshal.” Pursuant to the statute, one of the main duties of the marshal is oversight of the physical security of our courthouses.

Last month marked the 23rd

anniversary of the appointment of our first, and only, Circuit Marshal. O.C. “Buddy” Weller was appointed in August 1996 by then Presiding Judge, Stephen K. Griffin. Marshal Weller has done a remarkable job of enhancing security for our courts, county officials, and public in general.

Since 1982, I have tried or presided over more than 100 jury trials in our circuit. I have personally witnessed immeasurable safety improvements as a result of security procedures implemented by Marshal Weller. Bailiffs and other law enforcement personnel undergo extensive courthouse security training.

All 43rd Circuit courthouses now operate magnetometers (commonly called metal detectors) at points of entry, and some possess livestream video cameras monitored by local law enforcement. In addition, each county official’s office is equipped with emergency alarm devices that immediately alert local law enforcement agencies in the event of a safety issue.

Last, but certainly not least, Marshal Weller oversees “active shooter training” in each of our

five counties. County officials and employees are instructed what to do in the event of a courthouse security incident.

Many of us in the judicial system have, on occasion, observed Marshal Weller’s ability to physically restrain an unruly individual. Perhaps an even greater testament to his professionalism is the fact he is seldom called upon to do so. He is proof “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”

I have had the good fortune of knowing Buddy Weller since childhood. He hailed from Bethany and I, of course, am from the great nation of Eagleville. The strength and agility gained from lifting thousands of feed sacks for his father’s feed and supply business served him well as our Circuit Marshal. However, it is his wonderful personality and ability to work with law enforcement, commissioners, and other county officials that has made our circuit one of the safest, most secure circuits in the state.

Gallatin keeps Challenge trophy, 24-0, over Trenton It would be hard to sum up Trenton’s frustration on Friday night’s football field in just one play. Instead, there were many.

Gallatin’s defense dominated the field in a 24-0 Grand River Conference victory, and the offense scored twice late to put the game out of reach and move the red and black Bulldogs to 3-0 on the season and into a share of the league lead with three other teams.

Whether it was the first of three fumbles on the game’s first offensive play, a six-yard punt in the middle of the first quarter, crippling penalties and lastly, an inadvertent whistle during Trenton’s best offensive series, the black and gold Bulldogs were doomed to see Gallatin walk away with the Highway 6 Challenge trophy once again “It was really nice to keep the ‘Highway 6’ rivalry trophy with us for the fourth consecutive year,” said GHS Coach Patrick Treece. “Getting this win was a great way to start off conference play and set the tone for the rest of the season,” he added.

Gallatin excelled in nearly every facet of the contest.

Quarterback Brinley Vandiver completed 70% of his passes, including a pair of shovel tosses to Ross Critten that produced

touchdowns. Haden Bradford was a workhorse in the backfield in the continued absence of Aidan Adkison. JJ Waters made pass catching look easy with four grabs for 134 yards. Tristen Gibson flexed his punting leg by continually pinning Trenton deep inside its own territory.

He also gave Gallatin a kicking game by making good on three extra points and a field goal.

Defensively, Gallatin was never really tested by a lackluster Trenton offense. Trenton’s

Ross Critten shows his speed after making one of his team-leading eight pass receptions from quarterback Brinley Vandiver.

Tom Crouse powers past a blocker to get in the face of Trenton quarterback Sam Schilling. best shot at the scoreboard came mid-first quarter with a 4th and goal from Gallatin’s nine yard line, but senior Tom Crouse flushed quarterback Sam Schilling from the pocket and Gallatin took over. Junior Gage Wright pulled triple duty Friday night due to an early injury to Carson Lang. Normally a fullback, Wright switched numbers to fill in on the offensive line. He also led Gallatin in tackles with seven solos and seven assists.

“I thought we handled their size just fine on both sides of the ball,” Coach Treece said. “I was obviously pleased with our defensive effort,” he added. “I would have liked to see us run the ball a little bit more efficiently, but the passing game looked great. Brinley made great decisions and throws all night, with the exception of the one interception. Haden ran the ball hard for us throughout the game and we got standout performances from JJ and Ross from the receiver position,” he added. “Defensively, Gage (Wright), Landon Corwin and Drayton Harris led us in tackles, but it was a

tremendous team effort from our entire defense throughout the night.”

Bradford scored Gallatin’s only touchdown of the first half by blasting off the left side midway through the opening quarter. A Vandiver to Waters pass of 37 yards and catch and run by Critten set up a Gibson field goal from the eight yard line with under a minute to play in the first period.

Critten caught a shovel pass for a TD with 4:43 left in the game. Waters caught a deep ball with just over a minute to play and that led to another Critten TD catch from Vandiver, who finished with 185 yards in the air on the night.

Gallatin remains the only team Trenton has not beaten since joining the GRC. With Friday’s victory, Gallatin moved into the Class 1 state rankings at #9 along with Adrian.

The Bulldogs travel to Maysville on Friday to take on a second straight former GHS coach, Mark Cole. The Wolverines are 0-3 after last week’s 39-7 loss to Milan.

2019 Gallatin Junior High Softball Team

2019 Gallatin Junior High Football Team

Growing pains are setting in for Gallatin’s Lady Bulldog softball team as they attempted to slug it out with some of the best teams, so far, in the Grand River Conference. By the time Gallatin hosts Maysville tomorrow (Thursday), the Lady Bulldogs will have faced the top four teams in the East Division as far as current standings and winning percentage is concerned.

In Tuesday’s action in Princeton, the Lady Tigers rallied for three runs to defeat the Lady Bulldogs, 6-5.

Errors continue to plague the Lady Bulldogs, who committed five miscues on Tuesday.

Gallatin led, 5-3, heading into the bottom of the final inning, only to come away with a fourth straight loss. Caragan Baker led the Lady Bulldogs with two singles. Maddi Michael singled and drove in a pair of runs. Carli Beck also singled and plated two runs for the Lady Bulldogs, who fell to 1-4 in the GRC East and 2-6 overall. Baker struck out eight batters but took the loss on the mound despite giving up only

Trenton; 4. Hemry, Gallatin; 5. MaKenna Campbell, Southwest; 6. Kayce Messner, Albany; 7. Brianna Newman, Stanberry; 8. Copple, Gallatin; 9. Ali McManus, Maysville; 10. Callie Justus, Maysville.

Gallatin swept a 4-team meet last Thursday with Lawson, Trenton and Hamilton. The Lady Bulldogs combined for 226 to outpace Lawson (262) and Trenton (264) in team action.

Hamilton brought only a pair of golfers to the event.

Gallatin took the top three places in individual play, led

by Hart’s round of 54. Teel shot 55 and Copple carded a 57 for the Lady Bulldogs. Hemry and Rains came in with rounds of 60 and 65, respectively. Junior varsity scores included Johnna Tadlock, 58; Libby Endicott, 62; Cloey Waterbury, 68; Riley Dutro, 70; and Sarah Morrison, 81.

By Benjamin Herrold Missouri had a nearly flawless evening at Faurot Field last Saturday, racing to a 27-0 lead in less than 10 minutes and winning 50-0 against Southeast Missouri in Memorial Stadium’s 500th game.

The Tigers (2-1) were playing an overmatched opponent, with SEMO coming from the Football Championship Subdivison, a level below Mizzou. But that first quarter was still about perfect. Missouri scored on a rushing touchdown, a defensive touchdown in the form of a Cale Garrett interception return, a passing touchdown and a punt return touchdown.

The Tiger defense pitched a shutout, the week after holding West Virginia to 7 points, and allowed just 94 yards of offense from SEMO, who gave it a game effort despite the mismatch.

Missouri’s kicker had a good game, as did Missouri’s punter.

Of course, the same player, Tucker McCann, does both jobs, so it was a really good game for him. McCann became the first player this century to make three field goals of 40 or more yards and have four punts of 50 or more yards in the same game.

Now, the season barrels into Southeastern Conference play, as Missouri hosts South Carolina in a big game Saturday (3 p.m. on SEC Network). Tiger coach Barry Odom is 0-3 against the Gamecocks, including an agonizing loss in South Carolina last fall when it appeared the Tigers were on the brink of salvaging the win. The SEC East is wide open after Georgia, with a cluster of teams competing to be the main threat to the Bulldogs.

This game could be an early step to help whittle down the list of contenders.

South Carolina (1-2) is coming off a 47-23 loss to No. 2 Ala-

Enter Missouri Day Parade; Miss Missouri is coming!

Entries for the 2019 Missouri Day Festival Parade are now being accepted. The parade, scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 19, will feature marching bands, colorful floats, antique cars and tractors, equestrian units and many special guests.

Parade judging will award prize money in 10 categories including: “Spirit of Missouri Days” with a $200 grand prize, a second place entry to the “Spirit of Missouri Days,” Best Business Entry, Best Organizational Entry, Best Religious Entry, Best Youth Entry, Best Car or Truck Pre 1960, Best Car or Truck Post 1960, Best Equestrian Entry, and the Best Tractor Entry. Prize money for the additional entries will range from $50 to $100. One entry may be eligible for more than one prize.

Entries must be made via the Trenton Chamber of Commerce website then clicking on the Missouri Day Festival and Parade Information. All political entries are required to pay $25; there is no charge for other entries, however, any donations will be accepted to defray parade costs.

The theme of the 35th annual Missouri Day Festival Parade is “Missouri Day Embraces the Past, Looks to the Future,” once again sponsored by the Trenton Rotary Club. Believed to be the largest parade in north Missouri, the parade rolls at 8:30 a.m. Oct. 19 in downtown Trenton.

Persons with questions should contact any member of the Trenton Rotary Club.

Miss Missouri is coming!

The reigning Miss Missouri, Simone Esters will be among the special guests of this year’s Missouri Day Festival Parade. In addition, to appearing in the Parade on Saturday morning, October 19th, Miss Esters has also been invited to perform at both the indoor competitions and during the field show competition at CF Russell Stadium later that day. The featured twirler for Marching Mizzou, Miss Esters will present a baton twirling exhibition at both venues.

Currently a senior at the University of Missouri – Columbia, Simone is studying convergence journalism with an emphasis in emerging media. Her involvement on campus includes organizations such as Mizzou Panhellenic Association, Omicron Delta Kappa, Desire to Aspire and Marching Mizzou. As Miss Missouri, she serves as an am-

bassador to the Children’s Miracle Network and volunteers for both True North and the Ronald McDonald House.

Simone Esters was crowned Miss Missouri 2019 in June competing as Miss Metro St. Louis.

Not only was she named Miss Missouri, but she was the overall evening wear/social impact statement preliminary winner and the overall talent winner earning over $14,000 in scholarship money.

Throughout her year as Miss Missouri, Simone will promote her social impact initiative of “Leave Your MARK,” which emphasizes the importance of mentoring, especially in the lives of at risk kids. She advocates for the increase in both the quality and quantity of positive mentoring relationships. In an effort to leave her own mark, Simone has developed her own 501(c)3 nonprofit called Writeous Girls, Inc. out of MIZZOU. Writeous Girls, Inc. is founded upon a curriculum that empowers young girls through writing in all forms.

bama on Saturday, a respectable showing against another great Crimson Tide team. Freshman quarterback Ryan Hilinski, who took over the starting role after Jake Bentley was lost due to injury, hung tough against Alabama, throwing 57 times and going over 300 passing yards. Rico Dowdle rushed for 102 yards against the Tide, and those two could provide a challenge for Missouri’s defense.

The Gamecocks face a brutal schedule this year, and they need all the wins they can get to muster bowl eligibility. Saturday’s game will be big for them on that front.

The game is also for the Mayor’s Cup trophy, a rivalry trophy created in 2012 by the mayor of Columbia, South Carolina, with

support from Columbia, Missouri’s mayor, for the winner of the annual game between two schools from cities named Columbia. It’s a “rivalry” without proximity, and there aren’t many places were Tigers and Gamecocks are interacting in day-to-day life. But the series has had some memorable and close games, like the back-toback thrilling finishes in 2013 and 2014, as well as last year’s drama.

This game offers a lot: early division standings impact, longterm program pecking order in the East, and the potential to be a competitive game. Missouri is a solid favorite, but not overwhelming. It should be a very interesting Saturday afternoon in Columbia here in Missouri.

Readers ride in Chautauqua parade

Constitution Week is teaching time for Gallatin DAR Gallatin Daughters of the American Revolution members Reta Rains and Marilyn Fischer place a Constitution Week display in the Daviess County Library at Gallatin to celebrate Constitution Week, Sept. 17-23.

Constitution Week is a primary teaching time for the children of our communities to learn about

the formation of our nation.

The Gallatin Chapter DAR gave each of the five schools in Daviess County a book mark with the Preamble to the Constitution on it to pass out to grade school children.

The Gallatin DAR Chapter would like to ask for continuing help to support its programs

for the military, veterans and education. The Chapter collects Best Choice labels and will send the labels in, to exchange for money. Cut the labels from Best Choice products and drop into the collection bin at Dungy’s grocery. Dungy’s Market carries Best Choice products throughout its store.

Look for the Daviess County Library’s “out of this world readers” in the Chautauqua Parade.

Daviess County Library is celebrating the accomplishment of its summer reading participants who completed 20 hours of reading.

In order to complete the program, the library required 10 hours of reading at 15 minutes a day. The children that completed the program received prizes and additional credits at school. As an extra incentive, the library challenged the children to read 30 minutes a day for a total of 20 hours. The library had 26 children accept the challenge and

successfully complete by the deadline for a chance to ride in the Chautauqua parade. All of the children did a great job and had a lot of fun this summer.

Daviess County Library received a grant for a “Money as You Grow” bookshelf. This is a research-based program designed to help parents, caregivers, and others teach children ages four through 10 money skills through reading, activities, and play. Stop in the library and see how you can get your children started on a money-smart path.

Don’t forget music time with Mariah Demke for the children on Friday at 10 a.m.

Jamesport man injured in wreck A Jamesport man was moderately injured in an accident that happened at 1:35 p.m. on Sept. 11 in Daviess County.

According to the highway patrol, the crash occurred as Jack Prescott, 61, Jamesport, was westbound on July Avenue about a mile east of Jamesport.

He was driving a 2012 Chevrolet.

John Lefler, 34, Trenton, was southbound on 330th Street. He was driving a 1997 International.

Mr. Lefler’s vehicle entered the intersection and was struck

by Mr. Prescott’s vehicle. Mr. Prescott’s Chevrolet came to rest off the southeast corner of the intersection, facing east. The International came to a stop on 330th south of the intersection.

Mr. Prescott was taken to Cameron Regional Medical Center by Daviess County Ambulance. He was wearing his seat belt.

The Chevrolet was totaled and the International had minor damage. The accident was investigated by Tpr. J.P. Lynch.

Scheduling a ride with OATS transit, some changes rolling out on Oct. 1

Review grain bin safety rules before harvest begins; Farm Safety and Health Week recognized Sept. 15-21 Source: Karen Funkenbusch

University of Missouri Extension rural safety specialist Karen Funkenbusch said National Farm Safety and Health Week, Sept. 15-21, is a good time to review precautions for grain bins with farmworkers and family members.

This year’s theme, “Shift Farm Safety Into High Gear,” reminds us to remain vigilant at all times when working on or visiting farms, Funkenbusch says.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration recorded a record number of fatal grain bin entrapments in 2012. Since then, entrapments have steadily decreased. Funkenbusch credits this to the work of numerous agricultural groups and safety demonstrations such as those sponsored by MU and Missouri AgrAbility each year at the Missouri State Fair.

But grain bins are still among the biggest dangers on farms. It takes only five seconds for flowing grain to suck someone in, and less than 20 seconds for complete entrapment, Funkenbusch says. It takes even less time for children.

It takes more than 325 pounds of force to raise a 165-pound man-

nequin covered in corn, she says.

Before harvest, Funkenbusch suggests the following: • Sit down with employees and family members. Identify and assign tasks and locate equipment.

• Decide how you will communicate with one another.

• Develop and communicate an emergency action plan.

• Avoid entry. Use masks, harnesses and other equipment

when entering bins. Never go alone. “Farmers put themselves at grave risk when they work alone, especially when working around grain bins,” Funkenbusch says.

• Turn off and lock out energy sources.

• Do not “walk down” grain to make it flow, and never enter on or below bridged grain.

• Check rescue equipment.

cies in service, handle more riders with better routing of buses, and provide better report­ ing mechanisms. “We will forever be grateful to all of our Volunteers who took the time to ensure local residents had a ride and our buses were full,” said Dorothy Yeager, OATS Transit Executive Director. “As we move forward with our new dispatching and scheduling procedure, the need for Volunteers will continue, just in a different capacity. They have been an integral part of our history and ensuring their local community knows about our services,” added Yeager.

OATS Transit provides more than 1.5 million trips annually in 87 Missouri Counties. The company is a 501c3 organization with a staff of 750 employees statewide. For more information, please visit the website at www. oatstransit.org, and follow us at facebook.com/oatstransit for the latest news. OATS Transit is the largest rural transit provider in the state, and one of the largest transit providers in the entire nation.

Harvest ‘tough row to hoe’ for farmers dealing with stress Source: Karen Funkenbusch Harvest brings joy and pressure for Missouri farmers, says University of Missouri Extension safety and health specialist Karen Funkenbusch.

OATS Transit, a Missouribased transportation provider, is in the process of rolling out new procedures designed to make scheduling trips and dispatching buses more efficient. For the last 48 years, local residents and drivers have ded­icated hundreds of hours answering phones and taking reservations for trips.

Beginning October 1, anyone needing to schedule a ride will need to call the St. Joseph OATS Transit office to schedule a trip.

Individuals in Andrew, Atchison, Buchanan, Caldwell, Clinton, Daviess, Dekalb, Gentry, Grundy, Harrison, Holt, Linn, Livingston, Mercer, Nodaway, Putnam, Sullivan, and Worth counties should call at 816-2793131 or 800-831-9219 to schedule a ride.

Rides must be scheduled in advance, including all en-route stops. You can find the full schedule for your area on the website at www.oatstransit.org, then, click on Bus Schedules to find your county. You can also call the local office for a complete schedule. In rural Missouri, OATS Transit serves anyone of any age, and also contracts with a number of agencies and individuals to provide their transportation.

Schedules vary in each county depending on available funding sources to cover the service.

The goal is to increase produc­ tivity, improve efficien-

farmer’s control can weigh heavily and lead to depression, anxiety and suicide. Debt, illness and injury or other factors also add to pressures.

Funkenbusch says National Farm Safety and Health Week, Sept. 15-21, is a good time to look for signs of depression if irritability, fatigue and lack of interest in work and everyday activities seem abnormal.

“Farmers, because of their

strong and independent nature, often are reluctant to talk about these issues,” Funkenbusch says.

“Fortunately, resources are available. If you need help or know of someone who needs help, reach out.”

Sheriffs oppose building new jail

Vehicle overturns in Spickard wreck Two people received moderate injuries in an accident that happened at 6 p.m. on Sept. 14 in Grundy County.

According to the highway patrol, Hunter Krawitz, 19, Spickard, was driving a Honda Sport Track southbound on Third Street in Spickard. Austin Whitney, 22, Trenton, was driving a 2013 Chevrolet Cruze eastbound on Liberty Street. Krawitz failed to stop at a stop sign, continued into the intersection, and entered the path of Whitney. Whitney’s vehicle struck the passenger side of Krawitz’ vehicle, causing Krawitz’ vehicle to overturn.

The Krawitz vehicle came to rest on its top in the intersection, facing south. Mr. Whitney’s vehicle came to rest on its wheels in the intersection, facing east.

Krawitz and a passenger in his vehicle, Heather Ragle, 21, Altamont, were both transported

by Grundy County EMS to Wright Memorial Hospital, both with moderate injuries. They were not wearing their seat belts.

The Honda had moderate damage. The Chevrolet had minor damage. The accident was investigated by Tpr. C.D. O’Hara, assisted by Sgt. J.J. Rongey.

Ameren adjusts fuel charges The Missouri Public Service Commission has approved a filing made by Union Electric Company d/b/a Ameren Missouri to adjust the fuel and purchased power adjustment charge (FAC) on the bills of its electric customers.

For a residential customer using 1,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity a month, the FAC will increase by approximately 40 cents a month, from a current refund of approximately $1.76 a month to a refund of approximately $1.36 a month. The change is expected to take effect on Sept. 24.

Ameren Missouri provides electric service to approximately 1.28 million electric customers in Missouri.

After discussing the feasibility of constructing a new jail, Daviess County Sheriff Ben Becerra and DeKalb County Sheriff Andy Clark both expressed their opposition to the idea during the Aug. 30 meeting of the Regional Jail Board.

Daviess County Commissioner James Ruse expressed concern with the potential cost of a new facility, but does feel improvements need to be made to the current structure.

The jail board agreed to a feasibility study to be done by Goldberg Group Architects at a meeting held earlier in the summer. The feasibility study was to determine whether the jail proceeds with needed upgrades to the current facility or lays the groundwork for a new facility in the future.

In other business at the Aug. 30 meeting, the financial report was approved by the board.

Sales tax revenue for July 2019 $81,272.65; Sales Tax balance $26,485.10; Commissary grossed $11,817.07 in August 2019; CD account 247 balance $247,881.61; Accrued interest in CD977 $1,026.77; CD account 977 balance $104,555.24; Operating Account balance $270,894.14; Payroll balance $1,066.34; Accounts receivable $203,982.45; Accounts payable $1,082.72.

Deputy Director Tim Carder attended the sheriffs conference and reported it was very informative.

Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) training, and firearms qualification is near completion, and all training guidelines are being met.

Sheriff Deputy Hogan will be attending taser instructor training in Kansas City to support training of the DDRJ staff.

The board approved online payments to vendors to save on postage.

Director Edmon Howard and Mr. Carder toured Doniphan County’s jail and were impressed with the layout of that facility.

Mr. Howard advised that a liability account for DeKalb County checks has been created in Quickbooks to aid in the tracking and receiving of DeKalb County detainee payments.

A closed session was not needed.

The next regular board meeting is scheduled for 10 a.m. on Friday, Oct. 25, 2019, due to absence of the director in September.

The above are the unapproved minutes of the Aug. 30 meeting of the Regional Jail Board.

Board members present were Daviess County Presiding Commissioner James Ruse; Daviess County Sheriff Ben Becerra; DeKalb County Presiding Commissioner Kyle Carroll; DeKalb County Sheriff Andy Clark. Also attending were Edmon Howard, Jr., Director; Timothy Carder, Deputy Director; and Lori Burke, Administrative Assistant.
