Gallatin’s Public Works Director Mark Morey reported that the street crew utilized the tire wheel roller that was recently purchased from Purple Wave for the chip/seal project on East Grand.

He updated the Board of Alderman at their Sept. 14 meeting on the progress of other projects, including remodeling at the power plant, which is now complete.

Crews have been busy with electric pole replacements and setting new water meter pits.

Meter reading and re-reads are complete for August usage.

Morey plans to have Advanced Metering Infrastructure cost estimates available for the Nov. 23 board meeting.

Two demolition crews inspected the old water plant wash basin to provide bids to remove and demolish the basins.

Police Chief Mark Richards submitted an activity report dated Sept. 14 for the board to review. The activity report included three lockouts, two alarms, two domestic disturbances, two parking problems, one theft, one assault, two drug/narcotic ac-

Mastodon tooth discovered on banks of Grand Ira Johnson of Jameson was on a rock bar on the Grand River looking for antiques when he found the fossil of a Mastodon’s tooth.

Ira, 18, found the fossil on Aug. 29. A graduate of North Daviess High School, he now works at the school as a janitorial assistant. It’s a stressful job due to COVID-19. When he’s not working, he likes to go treasure hunting, mostly just walking around a couple of sites he knows, or using a metal detector.

He was searching around an old dump site on the side of the river. In the past he’s found silver-plated spoons, a Zippo lighter, a pocket watch, and a World War One button.

“I collect that kind of stuff,” Ira says. “I was walking along the bank near the water. I noticed this big rock about 10 feet away, and I thought that ain’t no rock. It was out of the ordinary. Not like any other rock, so I picked it up.”

The Winston R-6 School District currently has one confirmed positive case of COVID-19 and four students that have been quarantined by the Daviess County Health Department. The health department informed the Winston R-6 School District on Sept. 13, that a high school student was confirmed to have COVID-19.

Due to privacy requirements, the school cannot release the name of the individual or details that may identify him or her, according to Winston Superintendent Brian Robinson in a letter to the community.

Mr. Robinson said school was in session on Sept. 15 for students.

The Winston school was not in session on Monday, Sept. 14, as it utilizes a four-day school week calendar where students attend classes Tuesday thru Friday.

“We have worked with the Daviess County Health Department which has completed contact tracing and determined which students need to be quarantined,” Mr. Robinson noted. He explained that those who were in close contact will remain off campus for up to 14 calendar days to ensure they do not have the virus, so that there will not be any further spread.

Those not contacted by the Daviess County Health Department directly, are not believed to have a child was directly exposed to the person confirmed to have the virus.

“While we do not have reason to believe that those who were not in close contact with the positive individual have reason to be concerned, we ask that you, as always, continue to watch for COVID-19 symptoms,” said Mr. Robinson. “If your child is sick or not feeling well for any reason, please do not send them to school.”

OPINION

Sept. 16, 2020

Our ‘contract’ One of the lasting memories I hold from 9/11 is my utter amazement at the reaction of the tragedy by some Americans. I recall how late night TV (which usually specializes in comedy and satire) shared “Man on the Street” interviews and how, sadly, so many interviewed admitted feelings of patriotism for the very first time! Some, in fact, revealed an ignorance about the foundations of our democracy that scared me then and to this very day.

So, let’s focus on this: Constitution Week is Sept. 17-23. This is an annual observance for far more than just the ladies of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR).

Once upon a time, until the 1800s anyway, every American child could recite all the freedoms guaranteed in the Constitution. This is not done today and, to be truthful, I probably need a refresher, how ‘bout you? If so, then this circumstance only underscores the need for Constitution Week to be something more than just an opportunity for a holiday or another official decree.

by Darryl Wilkinson President Dwight D. Eisenhower designated Sept. 17 as “Citizenship Day” to honor the signing of the Constitution. But in 1997, Louise Leigh, a devoted student, initiated a campaign to shift the focus from “Citizenship” to James Madison and “his” Constitution. Her persistence succeeded, and on Sept. 17, 2004, “Constitution Day” was turned into an official holiday.

James Madison, our fourth president, wrote: “A well-instructed people alone can be permanently a free people.” I find myself wondering what President Madison might write after watching some of the “Man on the Street” interviews aired after 9/11 or now ...or, perhaps more importantly, what his outlook might be on our divisive, self-centered society today.

The Revolutionary War gave us independence from England and every girl and boy knows something about July 4, if nothing more than the firecrackers. We celebrate with gusto! But it is the Constitution that gave us freedom, that makes us the greatest and mightiest nation in history.

The U.S. Constitution is the oldest written constitution in operation in the world,” according to History.com. It was signed Sept. 17, 1787. America’s “contract” didn’t come easily. It would take 10 months before it was ratified by the required nine of the 13 original states to become the law of our land. Later, on Sept. 25, 1789, the first Congress of the United States convened, and adopted the Bill of Rights.

It is remarkable – a miracle, really, when we expect God to bless American without acknowledging God in all ways – that the United States of America continues to this day and in no small way due to the documents upon which we continue to work toward a more perfect union. We have the freedom, of course, to ignore our history and take for granted what so many before us have given to us.

Perhaps we should ponder another thought from James Madison, the father of our Constitution:

Off the Editor’s Spike...

“Knowledge will forever govern ignorance; and a people who mean to be their own governors must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives.”

The Constitution is the basis of America’s great heritage and the foundation of our way of life. It is well to emphasize each citizen’s responsibility to protect, defend and preserve the Constitution. This, my friend, means you and me.

We ended the month of August with 4.5 inches of rain, which is pretty close to the normal 4.04 inch monthly average. Crops are looking really good and I know people are getting trucks and combines tuned up and ready to go for harvest.

Daviess County was fortunate this year to not have any major and widespread weather events like our neighbors in Iowa so everyone is optimistic that yields will be very good.

The COVID-19 pandemic has created some unique challenges for our office this year, due to restricted access to the public for in-person business. I want to thank you all for your patience and understanding.

Bringing jobs back from China

by Congressman Sam Graves

There’s been a lot of talk lately about the need to bring jobs back from China and make things in America again. It’s important not just for our economy, but also our national security. If there’s one thing we’ve learned during the COVID-19 pandemic, it’s that we simply can’t trust communist China with our supply chain for critical products.

While President Trump has stepped up and made it a priority to take on China, it’s American business owners large and small that will ultimately bring these jobs back, not politicians or pundits.

To get a better idea of just what it takes to get the job done, I stopped by NEMO Manufacturing in LaGrange last week. They make circuit board assemblies for cutting-edge electronics and they do it in a town of just more than 900 people in rural Missouri.

What started as a $3,000 dream run out of their garage has transformed into a high-tech facility that offers unique employment opportunities in Lewis County.

While others have talked the talk, the Havermales have walked the walk. When they started in 2003, they soldered their circuit boards by hand, but as technology advanced some of those computer parts have shrunk to the size of the period at the end of this sentence.

Throughout it all, they’ve not only persevered, but expanded and helped move the entire community forward, all the while competing against massive factories in China that pay workers starvation wages, if they pay

them at all.

The bottom line is that the playing field just isn’t level. In fact, it looks a lot more like a ski slope than a playing field and it has for years. Unfair rules have allowed communist China to grow into an economic powerhouse at the expense of American factories, American cities, and American workers.

The good news is that we fi-

nally have a President in the White House that takes this problem seriously and is fighting for American businesses and American workers to bring these jobs back from China. We’ve still got folks right here at home fighting the uphill battle to bring these jobs back home to rural America and I’ll keep doing everything I can in Washington to make sure they’re successful.

Guard, which would violate the state constitution.

House Bill 1854 would have made changes to certain laws governing individual cities in our state. The governor claimed he could not sign this proposal because of the large amount of different items contained in it, some of which were not heard in committee before being added to the bill.

It remains to be seen if these vetoes will be overridden. More likely, in my opinion, the changes outlined in these bills may wait to be considered again during next year’s legislative session.

In the meantime, the Legislature is still working through an extraordinary session to address violent crime in our state. Late last month, lawmakers sent two of the extra session bills to the governor for his approval.

Following the Senate’s actions, the Missouri House of Representatives is now considering three other extra session bills passed by the upper chamber.

Extra session started on July 27. By law, an extraordinary session can run for up to 60 days.

To veto or not to veto

Every year, the Missouri General Assembly returns to Jefferson City in September to reconsider any legislation vetoed by the governor. This is part of our system of checks and balances.

Ordinarily, a veto session is wrapped up in one day; however, by law, a veto session can last up to 10 days.

This year, as we all know, has been anything but ordinary. During the regular session, which runs from the beginning of January through mid-May, lawmakers considered a much smaller number of bills because of the coronavirus pandemic.

Along these same lines, the number of measures that was vetoed by the governor is a lot smaller than it tends to be in normal years. This year, the governor only vetoed two pieces of legislation, not counting line items to budget bills.

Senate Bill 718 would have made changes to some laws related to military affairs. In his veto letter, the governor explained how this measure would have created a new department under the Missouri National

payments the first week of October. For the Agriculture Risk Coverage (ARC) and Price Loss Coverage (PLC) farm program, we will soon know the 2019 Marketing Year Average Price for corn and soybeans, which will determine if and how much the payment rates will be for both programs.

Remember the payment cycle of these programs run a year after the fact because it evaluates the county yields and marketing year average price, which for corn and soybeans, is Sept.–Aug. 31 each year. If payments are warranted, they will be processed approximately the second week of October.

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 re-enrolled and to accept new offers so please be proactive while managing your existing contracts.

Letters...

A special session legislative whale Missouri’s House displayed unusual constitutional discipline during this summer’s anti-crime special session. House leaders obeyed a state constitutional provision which requires a bill be limited to a single subject. It was a major change.

Increasingly, the legislature has created “bloated whale” bills by piling unrelated issues into a single bill to facilitate passage of separate ideas. The special session began going down the same path.

The Senate jammed all the governor’s anti-crime

by Phill ideas into a single bill to cover witness protection, juBrooks venile crimes, St. Louis city police residency, child endangerment and weapons transfer.

The whale bill appeared to be on the legislative fast-track.

But the House refused to consider the Senate’s bill after Gov. Mike Parson’s surprise expansion of his special session call to include giving the Republican state attorney general murder prosecution powers in St. Louis city if the Democratic circuit attorney did not file charges within 90 days.

House leaders decided to split the governor’s proposals into separate bills. They issued a statement explaining their approach was “to protect the integrity of the lawmaking process, and to ensure these important issues are thoroughly vetted.”

That approach did not seem to delay the process in the House, confirming my suspicion that a bloated whale bill took almost as much legislative time as single-topic

bills would have required. But the House approach fell apart in the Senate which attached the circuit attorney issue to a Housepassed bill dealing just with allowing hearsay evidence if a criminal defendant attempted to intimidate a witness.

The witness provision had bipartisan support. Not a single House Democrat had voted against it. But when the Senate added undercutting the St. Louis circuit attorney’s authority, it had an unintended consequence.

Solid opposition from Democrats blocked approval of an emergency clause that would have put the law into effect immediately upon the governor’s signature. As a result, if the governor gets to sign the Senate version, prosecutors across the state will be denied for a few months a powerful tool in going after criminals.

That delay could be longer.

In 2012, Missouri’s Supreme Court rejected a whale bill noting the state Constitution prohibits changing a bill from “it’s original purpose.”

It’s hard to understand how the Senate version defining the purpose as “relating to criminal procedure” is not a major change from the original subject of the House bill limited to just “the offense of tampering with a witness or victim.” Beyond that, in 1994, the court struck down a whale bill citing “logrolling” to combine unrelated provisions to get a majority vote.

This year, what were Senate Democrats to do? Vote for a witness protection measure

they supported or against restricting powers of the Democratic city prosecutor?

The partisan elements of this issue were enormous by handing to a Republican white, male authority to take over murder cases from St. Louis city’s elected female, black circuit attorney.

Earlier this year, Parson vetoed a whale bill. His veto letter charged the 37 provisions of the bill did not comply with the constitutional requirement of one topic for a bill. His veto letter noted some of the provisions never had a public committee hearing. That’s just like the circuit attorney provision which never got a legislative committee hearing. The House did not take up Parson’s last minute proposal or hold a committee hearing on it.

The Senate Judiciary Committee had a couple of bills dealing with the circuit attorney that could have been heard in committee, but that did not happen. Instead, the Senate chose the faster approach of simply adding the circuit attorney idea on the last day of full Senate consideration of the House bill.

As a result, Circuit Attorney Gardner did not have an opportunity to defend herself in a public legislative hearing to Republican charges of inadequate pursuit of felony cases It will be interesting to see if the House or the governor upholds the principles they cited or, if not, the Missouri Supreme Court reaffirms prior decisions.

Mastodons were forest-dwelling herd animals. They lived on a mixed diet obtained by browsing and grazing. They are distant relatives of the modern elephants.

Ira says the fossil doesn’t weigh a pound; it’s about six inches long and a couple of inches wide.

Ira has gone back looking for more fossils, but has had no luck yet. His uncle found part of a mastodon tooth in the same general area four or five years ago, so he’ll keep walking those stream beds.

For now, he just plans to keep the fossil. He is displaying it in a case. “I don’t plan to sell it; it has too much sentimental value,” he says.

It’s not every day you find a fossil from an animal that’s been extinct for about 11,000 years.

Dear Music Patrons: Music is a universal language; one that is so needed at a time like this. The Grand River Valley Choir and Orchestra appreciates your patronage through our first 10 years of existence.

We had a great 10th celebration last December during our winter concert. You were part of a large attendance that shared our accomplishment. We feel the music we presented was some of our best. We are incredibly proud of Grand River Valley Choir and Orchestra.

The pandemic forced us to cancel our summer rehearsal schedule and concert. We now realize the world is no longer the same place it was this time last year. Because of this, our approach to music will need to adapt. This change while trying, hopefully, will lead us toward new ideas and untapped potential. Because of this challenge, we are exploring unique ways to present music to our community while adjusting to the new normal we may have to accept.

We have been communicating with the Grundy County Health Department to decide how we will be able to provide our service area with music. We have determined we will forego a full ensemble Winter Concert Dec. 12 and will present in its place a Virtual Recital consisting of solos and small ensembles.

The delivery of our art may be evolving, but the fundamental mission of GRVCO remains the same …to serve our community through Keeping Music Alive!

You, our patrons, are the building blocks of GRVCO. It has been through your continued support we have been able to remain active 10 years.

Without your contributions, we might not be here today. We hope you will continue to support us and attend the GRVCO concerts.

Embrace the weeks and months ahead with us as we continue to learn from and adapt to this present situation.

To help keep you informed about the Dec. 12 Winter Recital, we encourage you to visit our GRVCO.com website as well as our Facebook page. Future plans will be made available there as well as through our supportive local and area news media, area churches, and the Trenton Chamber of Commerce. Until then… stay safe and healthy. We look forward to seeing and serving you again.

Ready for distance learning “We are fortunate that four years ago we forged ahead with our 1:1 technology initiative in the elementary and then we did the same in high school three years ago,” Robinson wrote.

“Unknowingly, this put us in a great position to be able to implement distance learning.

Our teachers continue to make improvements in their instruction with the majority of them going live during each class so students at home can interact just as if they were in the classroom.”

Robinson asked parents to assess the health of their student every morning before they come to school. Students who have had a temperature, for any reason, are not allowed to come to school until they are fever free for more than a day with a doctor’s note or three days without a doctor’s note.

Students can help protect themselves from possible quarantine by observing social distancing.

Explanation of changes to the Wildlife Code of Missouri regarding coyote hunting and feral hog control

By Conservation Agent Mark McNeely

On September 4, 2020, the Missouri Department of Conservation and its Commission approved updated regulations to the Wildlife Code of Missouri regarding coyote hunting and feral hog control that go into effect Nov. 30. I have fielded several questions via phone and while checking hunters about this topic.

Like clockwork, the rumor mill jump starts various interpretations about this new rule. If you are a predator hunter chasing coyotes or a landowner wanting another alternative to deal with nuisance wildlife, namely coyotes and feral hogs, read the new regulations or this article carefully as I break this down into three sections. One is for the hunter and the other is for the landowner, however these two can co-exist when hunting nuisance wildlife.

So, I’ll begin with coyote hunters wanting to chase coyotes at night. The change comes in response to citizen requests to the Regulations Committee to use night vision, infrared, thermal imagery equipment, or artificial light to hunt coyotes.

For years we have taken requests or fielded questions about nighttime hunting regulations.

In the past, coyote hunting required a moonlit night in a snowcovered field or cut bean field to provide the proper amount of back light to see and differentiate a coyote through a scope. Dark nights make this difficult without the aid of artificial light or device.

The new regulation allows properly licensed hunters to use artificial light (regardless of color), night vision, infrared, or thermal imagery equipment in conjunction with other legal hunting methods to pursue and take coyotes from Feb. 1 through March 31. Notice this says coyotes. Other regulations regarding artificial light and pursuing furbearers treed by aid of dog are still in place.

The framework for the season dates is to avoid fall deer and spring turkey season overlap and maybe provide quality hides for sale.

Regardless of hunting coyotes for sport or because they are a nuisance, other states have

Passenger ejected after I-35 wreck A Des Moines, IA, woman received moderate injuries in an accident in which she was ejected from a vehicle on I-35.

The accident happened at about 10:50 p.m. on Sept. 12 in Daviess County.

According to the highway patrol’s report, Vernon Walker, 48, Des Moines, was northbound on I-35. About two miles north of Winston, his 1996 GMC Suburban traveled off the west side of the roadway, overcorrected, and overturned, ejecting the passenger. The vehicle came to rest in the median on its wheels, facing east.

The passenger, Courtney Blaine, 34, Des Moines, was transported by Daviess County EMS to Mosaic Life Care in St. Joseph. She was not wearing her seat belt.

The vehicle was totaled.

The accident was investigated by Tpr. J.P. Lynch assisted by M.W. Neely.

also moved to more liberal regulations such as these to increase hunting opportunity and success for taking coyotes.

As for landowners, this regulation came about for the southern Missouri landowners dealing with feral hogs. Knock on wood, this is not an issue in northern Missouri, and I have only heard of short lived and isolated incidences of feral hogs in this region.

That being said, landowners were also vocal to the Regulations Committee and the revised regulations will allow landowners and their authorized representatives to use night vision, infrared, or thermal imagery equipment while in possession of any implement where wildlife could be killed or taken to address property damage.

The revised regulation allows landowners who own property of any size and their representatives to kill or take feral hogs without prior approval from a conservation agent throughout the year using these methods. An authorized representative is any person who has permission from a landowner to be on present on the landowner’s property.

Lastly, this scenario combines the previously mentioned groups, the coyote hunter and the landowner dealing with wildlife causing property damage.

This is the most likely scenario to occur in this region including Daviess County and the surrounding areas.

The property owners and their representatives can use

Ashley Gadberry on dean’s list Ashley Gadberry of Gallatin, a student at Missouri State University, has attained academic excellence during the summer semester and been named to the dean’s list.

For undergraduate students, criteria include enrollment in at least six credit hours during the summer semester and at least a 3.50 grade point average (on a 4.00 scale).

night vision, infrared, thermal imaging equipment or artificial light to kill coyotes or other wildlife causing property damage at any time of the year with written authorization from a conservation agent.

Note, there must be property damage caused by wildlife and prior authorization is required and the specific parcel will be listed on the authorization form.

These are new regulations that bring about quite a change in how hunters chase coyotes. I honestly never thought this would be a regulation ever approved. But, if I want to think positively, I hope this improves the deer and small game populations and decreases hunter judgment mistakes when predator hunting.

Coffey sets tax rate, transfers money to pay for projects, begins blading After holding the public tax rate hearing, the City of Coffey accepted the proposed tax rate levy of $1 per $100 assessed valuation.

After discussion of upcoming utility maintenance projects, the board motioned to transfer $8,000 from Late Fees Fund into the Sewer Fund and $4,000 from Late Fees Fund into the Water Fund.

Steve Henderson reported the water readings have been good and no leaks to report. The Department of Natural Resources was to do an over-the-phone inspection on Aug. 16 and was to be in town on Aug. 17 to inspect the master meter pit.

Steve Henderson has begun blading the roads. Mayor Ray commented that it will take time to get the streets back in shape.

Henderson asked the council if a load of rock could be purchased to fill in some potholes. The board motioned to buy one load of road rock.

The tractor has been repaired and is back in service.

The written quote for a 5 horse-power pump for the sewer was higher than the verbal esti-

mate that was given by Hickman Environmental Services, so a previous motion to purchase a back-up pump was rescinded and will be visited at a future date. After discussion of the last inspection done at the lagoon and lift stations and the quote for repairs, the board agreed to contact Hickman Environmental Services to do the needed repairs at lift station #3 (S. Center St.) at a cost of $4,000.

There is still an open council position. Residents will be asked about serving on the council.

Frank Davis stated he had trimmed a tree on the corner of Hwy. B and Jefferson Street and is willing to trim other trees if he has time.

The financial report was accepted; non regular bills were approved; and regular bills were reviewed.

Next regular meeting will be at 10 a.m. on Sept. 19.

Council members present were Mayor Ralph Ray, Beverly Hunter, Carolyn Griffin and Frank Davis. Also present were City Clerk Tammy de Jong and Water Operator Steve Henderson.

SCHOOL/SPORTS

South Harrison dominates in GRC opener Sometimes a football game comes around that you’d just like to forget, move on and prepare for the next contest. Such was the case for the Gallatin Bulldogs last Friday night in Bethany.

South Harrison, making a case as one of the top teams in the Grand River Conference, blasted Gallatin, 48-0, in a contest that produced few positives for the visiting red and black Bulldogs. The hosts scored early and often while keeping Gallatin penned on its side of the field all night long.

“South Harrison was more physical than we were and they were able to do whatever they wanted,” said an extremely disappointed GHS Head Coach Patrick Treece. “We couldn’t get in a rhythm offensively all night. We just have to have a better performance next week,”

he added.

The Bulldogs will host the Polo Panthers on Friday for Homecoming.

Distractions aside, Gallatin will prepare for a Polo team that got its first win of the season last week, a hard-fought, 12-6 victory over Maysville.

South Harrison controlled all facets of Friday’s game, piling up over 400 yards of offense and holding Gallatin to virtually no offensive statistics. Senior quarterback Austin Lasher gashed Gallatin for 5 touchdowns, 4 in the first half alone, as the home Bulldogs built a 28-0 lead through the first 2 quarters.

Lasher added his final TD early in the third period. Junior

Braden Spurling scored late in the third. Sophomore reserve quarterback Luke Sweat added a fourth quarter TD under a running clock.

Gallatin falls to 0-1 in the GRC and 1-2 overall. South Harrison ups its overall record to 2-1 and jumps out to a 1-0 league start.

“We have to get healthy for next week and get back to playing our brand of football,” Coach Treece says of Friday’s upcoming game.

Homecoming coronation was scheduled to be held after this Friday’s game with Polo, but has been postponed a week, due to some candidates being in quarantine.

How free/reduced lunch applications help schools Most people understand that by filling out the Free/Reduced Lunch Application their children might be eligible for free or reduced cost breakfast and lunch, but it is so much more than meals involved.

Here are some programs that are funded through Free/ Reduced Lunch Application: Free Preschool for 3-4-yearolds; Free Reading and Math Tutoring Services (Title I); the current program that is providing free meals for all students; funds to improve the school’s technology; funds to purchase textbooks; funds to purchase teaching supplies; funds for Special Education Services; funds for teacher professional development; Dual Credit College

The National FFA Organization recently announced National Proficiency Award placings and the Gallatin FFA Chapter was well represented.

Tom Crouse won the state proficiency award in Equine Entrepreneurship; his proficiency earned a silver rating at nationals.

Hayden Jumps won the Turf Grass Entrepreneurship and Placement Proficiency Award and received a Gold Rating on his national application.

Addison Burns won state in AgriScience Research Animal Systems and received a Gold at Nationals.

The 93rd National Convention will be virtual this year and local students’ accomplish-

classes for eligible juniors and seniors; multiple other special areas announced yearly.

The threshold that determines eligibility for many of these funds is 50%. Currently the Winston School District has fallen below the 50% mark. If you feel you might be eligible, the school asks that you please fill out the application. If you are not sure or you need assistance, please contact the office. These funds are going to go to a school somewhere in the United States, and they might as well come to a local school.

Kickin’ Cancer: Fight goes on Event cancelled; donations are needed

By Troy Lesan Over the past few years the Kickin’ Cancer with Kindness fund has evolved from a concept introduced in a conversation by a group in the basement of the Gallatin Methodist Church to an impressive initiative that assists countless Daviess County residents. Donations to the fund have grown from around $7,000 annually for the first few years, to $18,000 taken in last year. The donated funds have been accumulated, in a large part, as a result of an annual block party, BBQ, and silent auction fund-raiser held each September. Sadly this year’s fund-raiser event, which had been scheduled for Sept. 26, 2020, has been cancelled due to concerns over the pandemic.

The funds taken in by this very worthwhile cause go entirely to the distribution of gas cards. The cards help many Daviess County cancer patients with transportation expenses going to treatments. The cards can be used at Landes at Jamesport, Wall Street Station, Altamont, and Trex at I-35 exit #61.

Gas cards are still available at Farmers Bank and BTC Bank in Gallatin, but as a result of the cancellation of the September 26 fund-raising event, an extra big response is needed to keep this fund going. COVID- 19 has resulted in the cancellation of many events, but the scourge of cancer will not be cancelled any time soon. It is stronger than ever.

Sadly, a Kickin’ Cancer board member, Tracy Michael, who worked at BTC Bank, lost her life to cancer last year.

Without the annual fund-raiser this year, Kickin Cancer will need a huge boost from the community. Anyone wishing to donate can do so with a check payable to Kickin’ Cancer with Kindness.

AUTOMOTIVE, Checks can be dropped off or mailed to BTC, PO BoxINC. 35, Gallatin, MO 64640. For further information contact Nancy Tate at 660-6632588 or Jane McKinsey at 660-663-3300 Ext. 8. TEQ Correct OR Autocraft ®
