Former security officer pleads guilty to child pornography

Flu shots more important than ever and some are hospitalized. 2020 is anything but typical, and state health officials are urging Missourians to get the flu vaccine by the end of October.

“We always put individual patients first, and because of that, we are concerned that fewer than half of Missouri adults typically get a flu vaccine. This year, we want to do better. Do it for yourself, or do it to protect your loved ones,” said Dr. Randall Williams, Director of the Department of Health and Senior Services (DHSS). “As the Governor has said, we are not powerless against COVID-19. This also applies to the flu. One measure you can take to protect yourself during this time of COVID-19 is to get a flu vaccine.”

Symptoms of flu and COVID-19 significantly overlap one another. Flu symptoms can include fever, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, muscle or body aches, headaches, chills

and fatigue. Some people may have vomiting and diarrhea. It is unknown how a person could be affected by experiencing both viruses at the same time.

“To ensure our state has the capacity to care for COVID-19 patients, we need to do whatever we can to prevent strain on our health care system and keep Missourians healthy,” said Williams. “Flu vaccines are therefore important to the COVID-19 fight. Preventing flu means fewer unnecessary medical visits and hospitalizations. Preventing flu also reduces disruptions to our daily lives – at home, at work, at school.”

DHSS is working closely with local public health agencies to increase immunization rates among adult populations who are most at risk for contracting COVID-19. Ancillary supplies and vaccine transport coolers have also been purchased for

Jay C. Guhlke, 34, of Polo pled guilty to three counts of child pornography on Sept. 24 in Daviess County Circuit Court. Sentencing is set for Nov. 4 before Judge Ryan Horsman. Guhlke had been scheduled for a jury trial on Oct. 1 in Daviess County Circuit Court.

Guhlke is also facing multiple charges in Caldwell County and Clinton County.

In Caldwell County in May 2020, he was charged with eight counts of promoting child pornography, one count of possession of child pornography, five counts of sexual trafficking of a child under 18, and five counts of statutory sodomy.

In Clinton County, he was charged in June 2020 with sexual trafficking of a child under 12, sexual trafficking of child under 18, and two counts of statutory sodomy.

In the Daviess County case, Guhlke was arrested Feb. 22, 2019, after an investigation was conducted by Missouri State Highway Patrol’s Division of Drug and Crime Control, specifically the Digital Forensics Investigative Unit. The Patrol was assisted by the Caldwell County Sheriff ’s Office and the Daviess County Sheriff ’s Office.

According to the probable cause statement filed by the Highway Patrol, the HP investigator downloaded a pornographic video file from an IP address which was registered to Mid-States Services of Grundy County. Mid-States responded to a court-ordered subpoena indicating the IP address was being used at the account of the Lake Viking Security Office in Daviess County.

OPINION

Sept. 30, 2020

Opportunity knocks

I told my Mrs. how we’re missing an opportunity. This weekend is the Citywide Garage Sale and we’re missing the chance to progress away from closet clutter by not participating. Of course, such activities fall under her responsibilities if anything on our front porch happens. So she stopped me cold with just one of those “You really want to talk about this?” looks I’ve learned to respect.

But reminders about my need don’t go away.

You don’t wade deeply into my wardrobe to see how the rubble is slowly pushing out the walls of the closet …maybe not a pair of wing tips or two pairs of white bucks but certainly a pile of shirts that don’t quite stretch the acreage across my middle as they once did. At least there are no polyester leisure suits with wide lapels.

You have to go to the storage closet that opens to our guest room to get those.

Yes, I admit I’ve never been the model of fashion. I was brought up properly in that regard.

Before the era of Ebay, my mother frequently visited a salvage business specializing in fire-damaged merchandise.

I spent many a long, lonesome

by Darryl Wilkinson hour walking the aisles of that warehouse while mom scavenged for bargains. I was usually left alone to roam and, truthfully, there was enough damaged freight to keep any boy like me below driving age quite busy for a while.

There were things for sale you could eat, although only those sealed in cans were worth the risk; buyer beware.

Anyway, mom knew how Levi jeans were all the rage of an almost teenager like me and one time, when I was unable to accompany her in the hunt, she caved in to my desire to be hip among my friends. She bought over a dozen pants in my current size – and added another dozen or so for good measure in anticipation of the sizes I’d likely wear from that time to full manhood.

Price, not fashion, drives decisions in our household. Mom only worried about whether all the water stains would wash out. I was not consulted. So, it was later at home when I discovered this huge stack of pants in my bedroom, all the exact same color (a kinda puke lime green) and style (tight legs, when loose legs or bell bottoms were in style). Immediately I knew my doom: No new pants in my foreseeable lifetime. The price must have been right and mom was confident regardless of my reaction …bolstered by that huge sign at the checkout counter: “No Returns.”

It was God’s blessing, though. While other teenagers developed and honed a keen sense of fashion to stunt their maturity, I stood firmly denying frivolous fashion, wearing puke green pants. For years. Even today my wardrobe proves the lesson learned.

Yes, every piece of clothing at a garage sale has a story. There’s probably a pair of slightly worn puke lime green Levi’s somewhere in my closet, a collector’s oddity that could be priced right for Saturday’s Citywide Garage Sale. It might be the best pick among other scarcely-worn duds that we could share with the curious arriving at the garage or front porch this Saturday. Behind every bargain is a testament to live by: Buy stuff you really don’t want or actually need and someday you can have a great garage sale.

But only if your wife wants to.

Amendment 3: It’s about redistricting

by State Rep. J. Eggleston

I’ve often said I want my constituents to be the most informed voters in the state, and so I have offered explanations of ballot measures so you can cast a welleducated vote.

In this report, I outline Amendment 3, which you will vote on this November, or sooner if you vote absentee.

First, the back story. Every state House district encompasses about the same number of Missourians, around 37,000. Every state Senate district is about 177,000 people. To get these numbers accurately, the districts are redrawn every 10 years after each census. The method of redrawing districts has been contentious since the term “gerrymandering” was coined in 1812.

The rules on district drawing are outlined in our state Constitution. The last time they were drawn was after the 2010 census, and the foremost rule required districts to be “compact and contiguous,” not some squiggly gerrymandered shape. My district is a prime example being drawn on the border of Daviess, DeKalb, Gentry, and Harrison Counties in an almost perfect square.

In 2018, Amendment 1 was on the ballot, and it professed to be ethics reform for the state legislature. Nicknamed “Clean Missouri”, it reduced the size of lobbyist gifts to legislative can-

didates, reduced campaign contribution limits, and prevented a legislator from becoming a lobbyist for two years. All good stuff. But it turns out there was also language in it adopting new rules for re-drawing districts unlike that of any other state, which it is now believed by many to be the prime motive of its sponsors.

While it failed in my district, Amendment 1 passed statewide.

So now the redistricting rules are that “compact and contiguous” is the least important consideration. The most important is “competitiveness,” meaning every House and Senate district must have the same Republican / Democrat proportion as the whole state has. This is calculated by adding the number of Republican votes in the last three elections for governor, senator, and president, and comparing them to Democrat votes.

In my district, those numbers are 64% R / 36% D. In the whole state it’s 50/50. That means to comply with the new rules, our area would get subdivided and connected with another area that’s about 36%R / 64%D to achieve “competitiveness,” and that other area would likely be the urban core of Kansas City.

If those rules stand, the effect is that we will likely end up with more urban legislators and fewer rural ones since urban candidates would compete with

rural ones in each race, and urban areas have better access to media and more money to fund their campaigns.

It turns out the prime funders of the Clean Missouri campaign were an east coast PAC and a liberal Texas group called Action Now ran by a former Enron exec.

These two groups are known supporters of the more politically liberal policies that are embraced by urban legislators. And our state is not alone. PACs like these have been using the initiative petition process to target Midwestern states with east/ west coast ideas. But that’s a big, long story for another report.

Voting Yes on Amendment 3 (nicknamed Cleaner Missouri) in November would keep the ethics reforms of Clean Missouri, but return the rules of redistricting to the “compact and contiguous” language like we had before, keeping similar communities together. And if Amendment 3 passes, the ethics measures would be strengthened by further reducing campaign contribution limits and totally eliminating gifts from paid lobbyists to legislators.

Amendment 3 will not affect my House seat since I will be term-limited out when redistricting occurs. But it will insure that your next state rep will be someone from our area instead of possibly KC.

Adventures, unintended consequences of veto sessions Missouri’s recent veto session was another chapter in a long and fascinating legislative history.

Until the 1970s, there were no veto sessions. Instead, prior versions of the state Constitution allowed the legislature to take up a veto override effort anytime the General Assembly was in session. But for many years, the General Assembly met only once every two years. So, if the governor vetoed a bill after the legislature adjourned, it was game over for an override. That’s part of the reason why not a single gubernatorial veto suffered a legislative

by Phill override for more than a century.

Brooks That changed in the early 1970s when Missouri voters approved two constitutional amendments -- one establishing annual legislative sessions and the other created a short veto session a few months after each regular session.

Gov. Kit Bond became the first victim of this new schedule in 1976 when the Democratic-controlled legislature overrode the Republican governor’s veto of a bill on nurse licensing vetoed the prior year.

As for veto sessions, they’ve become almost meaningless if the party that controlled the legislature also held the governor’s office. This year, for example, there was only one motion made in the Republican-controlled legislature to override the Republican governor’s vetoes. The motion was defeated overwhelmingly.

The mid-September veto session is held only if the

governor vetoes a bill during or after the final five days the regular session can consider bills. Disregarding that provision cost Republicans a major legislative victory in 2015. It involved a GOP priority to reduce unemployment compensation during periods of low unemployment when supporters argued it would be easier to get a job.

Democratic Gov. Jay Nixon vetoed the bill on May 5, ten days before the last day for the legislature to act on bills. The House quickly voted to override Nixon’s veto. But the Senate put off an override vote until the September veto session. It might have been to avoid a guaranteed Democratic filibuster during the closing days of the legislative session. But a top Senate staffer suggested to me delaying an override vote would raise a fascinating legal case involving legislative authority over its own affairs.

Whatever the reason, the Senate Republican leadership’s decision to delay the override vote until the veto session cost them dearly. The Missouri Supreme Court struck down the veto-session override vote for being too late because a veto session can act only on bills vetoed in the regular session’s final five days or after. No subsequent effort for the unemployment reduction has cleared the Republican-controlled legislature, although it did pass a tougher requirement that an unemployment recipient engage in job-search efforts.

These fall veto sessions have provided a cash-cow op-

C Capitol apitol P Perspectives erspectives

portunity for legislators. When the veto session meets in an even-numbered year with less than two months before the general election, there’s a near explosion in Jefferson City of fund-raising activities by legislators whose meals and travel to the Capital are financed by taxpayers for the day or two the legislature meets for its veto session. What makes the opportunity so tremendous is the large number of lobbyists expected to attend who are based in the Jefferson City area and who represent special interests throughout the state.

The Clean Missouri ballot issue limits lobbyist gifts, but independent organizations often funded by special interests, can spend unlimited amounts of money for candidates, including legislators. Reporting on these veto-session fund raisers has become routine for many statehouse reporters.

A related campaign issue is the opportunity for legislators to use the veto session for politically inspired chamber speeches that often do not even relate to vetoes.

Legislative and campaign staffers then can spread their chamber presentations across internet.

Another unintended consequence as been the attraction for governors to call a special session in conjunction with the fall veto session since legislators already will be in town for a few days.

MIRMA grant to city will help purchase safety equipment for risk management Jeff Arp with MIRMA has presented the City of Gallatin with a risk management grant award for $1,553.50.

Missouri Intergovernmental Risk Association (MIRMA) is a self-insurance pool, owned by participating members. The grant funds will be used to purchase an automated external defibrillator (AED) and fire-retardant t-shirts for the electric department as well as barricades and men-working signs for the street department.

Gallatin aldermen moved ahead with several issues that have been before them this year.

• MidStates will start installing fiber within the next two weeks.

• Bid requests were directly solicited for the Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) system and should be collected for the second board meeting in November.

• Farmers’ Electric Cooperative will be making quarterly payments to the City of Gallatin per the signed franchise agreement.

• The wholesale water rate increase notification was sent to Daviess County Public Water Supply District #2 last week. The rate will increase to $10.19 per thousand effective Oct. 1, 2020.

Turning to other matters on the agenda, Police Chief Mark Richards submitted an activity report dated Sept. 28, for the board to review: four domestic disturbance; three alarm; two suspicious person; two traffic complaint; two medical emergency; one sex assault; one van-

dalism; one welfare check; three peace disturbance; one shoplifting; one drug violation; four dog at large; two trespassing; one property damage; one animal control; one citizen dispute; three warrants requested.

There are no dogs in the pound. Five dogs were transferred to another shelter for adoptions.

Public Works Director Mark Morey reported that the street department completed all chip seal projects in town using the remaining oil and chips. Swope, East Grand, Omaha, Forest, Green Drive, and South Prospect were completed this summer.

Crews worked over four hours on a sewer backup issue in the alley east of North Main Street.

Crews flushed five loads of water out of the jet truck as well as used the vacuum trailer to clear the sewer line which had been plugged by a grease ball. Administrator Lance Rains has contacted the business responsible for the grease ball.

Discussion was held regarding water minimum and sewer minimum charge for apartment complexes in town. Rains will provide a detailed proposal for the board to consider at the next board meeting.

The board reviewed the People Service Operation and Maintenance Report for August 2020.

Bills totaling in the amount of $33,611.84 were approved for payment.

Rains will directly solicit for quarterly bookkeeping review of bank statements, accounts pay-

I am writing in response to Dale Christensen’s letter in last week’s paper (September 23, 2020).

I know Ronetta Burton and Dale Christensen. I have worked with Ronetta, as a poll worker for a number of years. I have never doubted her honesty or her ability to conduct the elections in Daviess County fairly. As I said, I also know Dale Christensen.

Dale begins by telling us “Fellow Citizens” we should support poll workers and thank them for their service. He then gets to the real reason for his article, to disparage a duly elected public official and the people who will be working the polls, calling into question the legitimacy of the upcoming election.

Dale is saddened to mention he has heard through the grapevine (i.e. gossip) that “ ... devoted voting officials are being criticized and even investigated for simple infractions that did not occur.”

He goes on to say they are being “criticized and investigated by Ronetta Burton, County Clerk/Election Authority.” ... “their integrity and character has been attacked.”

His hypocrisy is stunning. In the first part of his letter Dale defends his friends, who are devoted voting officials, whose character has been attacked and their good names tarnished. Then, in the last part of his letter Dale does exactly what he accuses Ronetta of doing. He attacks the integrity and character of Ronetta and all the election officials who work with her. While admitting he does not know Ronetta Burton he informs us he was told (more gossip) she is an inexperienced supervisor who has apparently not handled her concerns correctly.

Dale fails to tell us what actual knowledge he

able, and payroll since Eichler’s Bookkeeping is no longer able to perform the bookkeeping reviews.

The board agreed to distribute the request for qualifications for professional engineering services for the 2400 system to a 7620/13/2 system.

Rains attended a Missouri Public Utility Alliance meeting last week to meet the new MPUA President. Discussion was held at the meeting about advertising a combined number of generators from the surrounding small towns to be sold.

A motion carried to not approve the residential request to purchase 1.5” x 1.5” tile that may or may not be located in the cupola building.

The board reviewed the two bids to remodel the front counter at city hall to accommodate a more permanent glass barrier and adding a permanent desk to the counter space. No decision was made at this time.

The next board meeting has been moved to Tuesday, Oct. 13, due to the holiday on Monday.

The above are the unapproved minutes of the regular meeting for the City of Gallatin held Sept. 28, at city hall.

has of this situation other than “the grapevine.”

He apparently doesn’t know if any complaints were filed by voters, if there were discrepancies in the paperwork the individuals turned into the office, or any other serious issues, but he assures us they were “simple infractions that did not occur.”

Ronetta Burton didn’t simply pull names out of a hat and decide on a whim to investigate poll workers from the last election. Something occurred to cause her to investigate. I know of two incidents personally. One occurred at the polling place I worked. Ronetta received a complaint that a poll worker was rude. Because I was one of the Supervisory Judges, she asked me about the complaint.

The other incident was far more serious. I was asked by a voter, from another polling place, if something that was said by a poll worker was appropriate. Not only was it not appropriate, it was a direct violation of the oath every poll worker takes on Election Day. I did not hesitate to tell Ronetta about the conversation because it was a serious problem.

The most egregious statements Dale makes are in the last paragraphs of his letter. Calling himself a patriot and a concerned citizen he offers the following baseless accusations, impugning the integrity of Ronetta and all the Daviess County election workers, including me, when he says “We hope Ronetta and/or others are not trying to remove these people and replace them with voting officials who might be persuaded to alter the outcome of this election and future elections ...I am sounding the alarm to all voters. I am raising the question ‘Why’? Is something bad beginning to happen to our local elections?”

I would like to ask the same question of Dale Christensen, “Why?” Why engage in innuendo and gossip in order to attack Ronetta Burton and the hardworking Election Officials of Daviess County? Why accuse all of us who work the elections of potential election fraud? Why call into question the integrity of the upcoming election?

I also wish to sound the alarm to all voters, for it appears to me, Dale Christensen, who is behaving irresponsibly by spreading gossip and making unfounded accusations, is the bad thing that is happening and that he is the one trying to undermine the integrity of our elections.

local providers to host adult flu vaccine clinics or offer curbside or drive-through clinics. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has provided Missouri with an additional 300,000 adult flu vaccines to meet what is expected to be an increased demand.

“While the effectiveness of the vaccine varies from year to year, studies have shown some protection is better than none at all,” said Williams. “You are less likely to spread the virus to those around you if vaccinated, and it has also been shown to cause symptoms to be more mild if you do become infected.”

Groups of people at high risk for flu-related complica-

tions include children age five and under, adults older than 65, pregnant women, and those with weakened immune systems or chronic medical conditions such as asthma, diabetes or heart disease. Those who are in a high risk group and experience symptoms of the flu should contact their primary health care provider.

Security officer charged (from page 1) dence located on South Highway 13 in Polo. As a result of their search, investigators seized child pornography and computer equipment.

While the search was being executed at Guhlke’s residence, additional officers located Guhlke at his place of employment, the Lake Viking Security Office.

Investigators also executed a second search warrant on electronic equipment, which was on his person, and additional child pornography and computer equipment were seized.

During a post-Miranda interview, Guhlke admitted he uses BitTorrent software to download files showing child pornography.

He admitted to having sexual contact with at least three children while he was an adult. He also admitted that in the past seven years at his home near Polo he had sexual contact with a female child around age 10, and he recorded himself making the sexual contact.

The formal charges against Guhlke, filed by Daviess County Prosecuting Attorney Annie Gibson, are promoting child pornography, B felony, possession of child pornography, B felony, and possession of child pornography, D felony. On the two class B felonies, Guhlke could receive 5 to 15 years in the Department of Corrections on each count. On the class D felony, he is facing up to one year in the county jail or up to seven years in the Department of Corrections.

The Division of Drug and Crime Control encourages Internet users to report promptly to the Patrol or local law enforcement anyone who attempts to engage in unwanted, inappropriate, or sexualized communications with children.

Elite Arts Dance Academy opens Oct. 6 on the square Gallatin will have a new place to dance as Elite Arts Dance Academy has opened a new studio on the west side of the square.

Opening day is set for Oct. 6.

Owners of the studio are Grant and Mariah Demke of Gallatin.

Studio Director is Mandi Ripple of Gallatin. Mandi and Mariah also serve as instructors.

Mandi says there is much more to the studio than dance.

The mission statement focuses on growing confidence, discipline, and perseverance in its young dancers. Not only is the goal to teach the various forms of dance, but to encourage dancers to teach other students as well.

“We are offering a mentorship program for our older advanced dancers that will be our student teachers,” says Mandi. “We want our student teachers to have the opportunity to build leadership skills, to become future dance instructors themselves, help teach choreography, and to become good role models for those around them.”

The two instructors will make all curriculum for each class and

will be supervising the student teachers.

Student ages range from three to 18. A “Mommy and Me” class and adult classes are planned for January 2021.

The studio offers ballet, jazz, tap, clogging, and hip hop.

Recreation and competitive classes are held on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Mariah is a previous instructor with Stage Crew Performing Arts and Midwest Dance Synergy. Her choreography has received many awards at competitions.

Mandi has taught and choreographed for Midwest Dance Synergy for the past four years.

Her choreography has received many awards and this past year one of her competitive dances received an “Overall Best Entertainment Award”.

Instructors hired for competitions include Skyler Loxterman of St. Joseph, Kara McGhee of King City, Amber Howerton of Overland Park, KS, and Lindi Denning of Norfolk, VA. The building is owned by the

Mandi Ripple Demkes. It has undergone many renovations to make it safe for the dancers and more renovations will take place throughout the dance season.

Registration day is from 4-6 p.m. on Oct. 1 upstairs at Subway.

If you have already registered and sent in the forms, you do not need to come to registration.

The studio email is mripple. elitearts@yahoo.com and the Facebook page is Elite Arts.

Due to concerns with COVID-19, parents are asked to not send a child to dance if he/she is not feeling well. Temperatures will be checked at the door before entering. Staff will disinfect in between each dance class. At this time only dancers and instructors will be allowed in the building.

“We plan to keep class sizes small to allow social distancing, and should it happen our state gets shut down we would fall within guidelines to keep our facility open,” says Mandi.

Maysville held Gallatin out of the end zone from the one yard line late in the third quarter. The Wolverines had no such luck in repeating that feat with the game on the line in the closing moments.

With the Bulldogs holding on to a 26-20 lead, Kevin Meeks snuck over the goal line on fourth and goal from the one with 1:30 left to play, capping a 9-play drive that began with a 56-yard passing connection from Brinley Vandiver to Payton Feiden.

The insurance TD came after

the Wolverines closed the scoring gap to 6 points on a 40-yard bomb with 5:10 on the clock.

Maysville had turned Gallatin away in the third period after a 12-yard punt set the Bulldogs up at the Wolverine 22. However, four plays from the 1 yard line produced negative yardage.

A second short punt gave the Bulldogs a starting point at the Wolverine 40 late in the third. A second down pass from Vandiver to Isaac Bird put Gallatin on the 16. Jagger Gray, with strong running out of the backfield in

the absence of Rodell Sperry, carried to the 8. Gage Wright polished off the drive that led to a 26-14 GHS lead on the opening play of the fourth quarter.

Following a scoreless first quarter, Gallatin got on the board with a 10-yard Vandiver to Feiden scoring pass. Maysville answered with a Jake Redman 2 yard scoring run.

Gallatin looked to take a 14-6 advantage into the half time locker room with a Vandiver to Draven Wright scoring pass of 20 yards. Vandiver connected

with Meeks for the 2 point conversion. The Wolverines tied the game again when Redman scored from the 5 with 54 seconds left and quarterback Kaleb Jestes added the 2 point conversion.

Power runs by Gray set up a 12-yard score by Meeks and 2014 GHS lead at 9:09 of the third quarter.

The Bulldogs, 3-2 overall and 2-2 in the GRC, travel to Milan this Friday to take on the unbeaten Wildcats, who have yet to be tested in their run to 5-0.

COVID-19 curbs fall cleanup days

An inquiry was recently made as to why the City of Gallatin has canceled bulk trash services this fall.

According to City Administrator Lance Rains, the City of Gallatin was informed two weeks ago by Rapid Removal that the bulk trash pickup (fall cleanup days) would be postponed again due to COVID-19.

However, individuals can contact the trash hauler if they have a larger amount of trash than normal, for instance a mattress or something of that sort.

“We don’t run the trash company,” says Rains. “The city has a contract that we renew every three years. We renewed that contract in July. The contract does include two bulk trash pickups -- one in the spring and one in the fall. However, COVID has really disrupted all of that. COVID has disrupted many things this year.”

The number for Rapid Removal, which is located in Trenton, is 660-654-4287.

Winston designates employees ‘essential’ The Winston School Board approved a resolution designating Winston School employees as essential workers as they are categorized in the U.S. Department of Homeland Security Guidance on Essential Critical Infrastructure Workforce: Ensuring Community and National Resilience in COVID-19 Response.

The resolution, which passed during the board’s Sept. 14 meeting, will allow the Winston School District to work with the Daviess County Health Department by following already established CDC guidelines to address staffing shortages during the COVID-19 pandemic in order to minimize school closures under appropriate safety precautions.

The Daviess County Intergovernmental Agreement to participate in the 2020 CARES Act Funding Program was adopted by the board. Brian Robinson, superintendent, was approved to sign the agreement on the board’s behalf.

Extra duty assignments were approved: Curtis May - 7th grade sponsor; Tiffany Cameron - 8th grade sponsor and Academic Team; Krissy Lee - 9th grade sponsor; Linda Warford - 10th grade sponsor; Stephanie Madison - 11th grade sponsor; Katie Martin - 12th grade sponsor and concession manager; Brittany Enyeart - 12th grade sponsor; Brenda Pliley - cheer sponsor.

The IDEA Model Compliance Plan Approval made available by the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education was approved.

Board policy updates as provided by the Missouri Consultants for Education policy service were approved.

Board members participated in a video board training provided by the Missouri Association of Rural Education.

Smithfield Foods Hog Production Division has donated 50 cases of bottled water to the school. It is to be delivered in late September.

The tax rate approved by the Winston School Board has been certified by the Missouri Secretary of State.

After prayers for families and friends along with our praises, Vivian Hunsucker introduced lesson

13-A Step In Faith. The memory text was from Philippians 2:5-7.
