Two elementary classrooms test positive for Covid; AMI begins Two Searcy Elementary classrooms have individuals who have tested positive for COVID-19 and the school has switched to an Alternate Method of Instruction (AMI), according to a statement from school officials and the county health department. The Gallatin R-5 School District and the Daviess County Health Department have been working jointly to identify, isolate, and quarantine the individuals who have been exposed to a positive COVID-19 case in two elementary school classrooms. Due to the current circumstances, Covel D. Searcy Elementary will move to the district AMI plan located on the district website for the week of Sept. 8-11 in order to deep clean the school. Elementary students who have been previously contacted by the health department will

continue to quarantine as directed. School will resume for face-to-face instruction for all other students on Sept. 14. Information was given to the students regarding device distribution and packets. Individuals who have not been contacted by the health department or the school are not a close contact. Individuals who have been contacted must quarantine for 14 days and monitor for symptoms. People with COVID-19 have a wide range of symptoms, from mild to severe, and symptoms may appear two to 14 days after exposure to the virus. People with symptoms of COVID-19 may experience fever or chills, cough, shortness of breath, fatigue, muscle aches, headache, new loss of taste and smell, sore throat, congestion, and/or nausea or vomiting and diarrhea.

Contact your healthcare provider if you develop any of these symptoms. Please continue to practice preventable actions to prevent the spread of COVID-19 such as social distancing, wearing a face covering over your mouth and nose, proper hand washing and hygiene, and most of all, stay home if you are sick. Jamesport uses AMI Tri-County R-7 in Jamesport closed inperson classes for one day last week on Sept. 2 and held AMI for that day, due to a positive COVID-19 test in the elementary. The school was back to normal quickly afterwards. The daycare in Jamesport is currently closed, but will reopen on Sept. 10. Other businesses in Jamesport which have closed due to the effects of COVID-19 one

way or the other are Farm House Collection and Jamesport Candle Company. According to David Roll, Daviess County Emergency Management Director, only individuals are tracked for COVID-19, case by case. Just because an employee of a business has contracted COVID-19, it doesn’t mean the health department has recommended the business close. If a business employee tests positive for the virus, the county health department can give recommendations about what steps the business can follow, such as deep cleaning, etc., and remain open. In other words, a business may choose to close, not because a staff member has tested positive and been quarantined, but because there is not enough staff or employees to cover for that person’s absence.

Missouri Industrial Hemp Program receives federal approval for 2021 The Missouri Department of Agriculture has announced federal approval of the state’s Industrial Hemp Plan, which sets the regulatory framework through the 2021 growing season and provides the Department with primary oversight of industrial hemp production in the state. With the approval, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Agriculture Marketing Service affirmed that Missouri’s plan complies with federal law and regulations. “This approval is a testament to the hard work our team has put in to open up a new regulatory framework for growers looking to diversify their operations,”

said Director of Agriculture Chris Chinn. “We’ve worked hard to incorporate feedback from growers, industry stakeholders and federal partners over the last several months. We hope that this is the certainty that many in the emerging industry have been looking for.” The approval of Missouri’s Industrial Hemp Plan was made by USDA with no required changes to existing state regulation. As a result, Missouri’s industrial hemp producers will continue operations under the existing regulatory framework. This is the first year that Missouri producers may legally grow industrial hemp within the state.

Dollar General in Altamont? …possibly! A Dollar General store located in Altamont is in the “due diligence phase,” according to Mary Kathryn Colbert, Dollar General Public Relations. The company is currently in a due diligence phase for a new Dollar General in Altamont, that would be located off Highway 6, Colbert replied in an email answering an inquiry from this newspaper. “This means we are reviewing the opportunity to add a new store in the area, but we have not committed to doing so just yet,” Colbert wrote. “Based on our current timeline, we anticipate to have a final decision on this by early 2021.” Colbert added that Dollar General customers are at the center of what the company does. Meeting customers’ needs is Dollar General’s top priority when choosing store locations. In selecting store sites, the company takes a number of factors into consideration, carefully evaluating each potential new store location to ensure customers’ price, value, and selection needs can be met. Dollar General further strives to provide convenience for customers who may not have affordable nearby retail options. As needed for opposition inquiries, Dollar General also take competitive factors, traffic patterns and community concerns into consideration. The store would employ approximately 6-10 employees, depending on the individual needs of the store, Colbert noted.

Recently, the number of COVID-19 Positive cases has taken an upswing in Daviess County, according to a joint statement from the Daviess County Health Department and the Daviess County Emergency Management Agency. Currently there are 53 positives recorded since the beginning of the pandemic in March. Of the 53 positives, 19 have recovered, leaving 34 active cases who are at various stages of their quarantine time periods. These 19 cases are not isolated to just one town, one school district, or one location. Another source of the increase is of persons who have Daviess County as their legal address but are not currently in the county, such as college students and workers. While they are not here, their case is added to our county total because of their legal address. The Missouri Department of Corrections also just released numbers held since April, increasing counts. Daviess County Health Department has been in constant contact with local school districts, monitoring and working together to develop plans for each school. This is an ongoing process to provide the safest environment for our children, teachers, and staff. Officials understand and rec-

ognize the burden that it can place on families by having the students learning from home. It is not an easy environment for many kids to work online nor for the faculty trying to present the curriculum. Many studies have shown how our children learn better within the classroom environment, not to mention the interpersonal social skills that they gain. Ultimately, the goal is to keep the schools open and to continue to provide for the education of our children. Media sources regularly report how the larger metropolitan areas have orders in place about mandatory masks in public and in businesses. Local businesses have asked you to wear masks in their stores; please abide by their requests without that request being mandatory. Some may ask why Daviess County has no mandatory ordinance. Currently, local officials are following the State of Missouri’s guidelines for the “Phased Reopening of Missouri.” Missouri is in Phase 2 and has been since June. These guidelines encourage social distancing, frequent hand washing, face coverings when you cannot distance six feet or more, as well as reduce the number of persons gathering in any one location, church, restaurant, etc. Also, if you are sick, stay home.

Daviess County Health Department Administrator Cheryl Alexander and Daviess County Emergency Management Director David Roll issued the following statement: “While this increase is something that we are keeping our eyes on, we are still relatively low in comparison to many other counties and locations around the state. At the end of the day, it takes each and every one of us to be personally responsible in our actions and interactions with each another. Please help us slow the spread of the disease.”

More funds for regional water system Department of Agriculture (USDA) Rural Development State Director for Missouri Jeff Case has announced the awarding $9,448,000 to the Great Northwest Wholesale Water Commission for the development of a new regional water distribution system. The commission was founded by Cameron, Maysville, and Stewartsville to provide affordable, clean, reliable drinking water to area communities. Ultimately, the commission will purchase treated water from Missouri American Water in St. Joseph to provide to member communities. This investment figures to improve access to clean water for over 11,000 citi-

zens in Northwest Missouri. The project will construct 36 miles of water transmission line, booster pump facilities, and two (2) elevated water storage tanks. Initially, the commission will serve the three primary communities with capability to expand to additional interested communities. This announcement of the additional award brings USDA’s total investment to $31,927,210 for this project. USDA is providing Great Northwest Wholesale Water Commission a $7,448,000 loan and $2,000,000 grant through the Water and Waste Disposal Loan and Grant program. “Great Northwest Wholesale Water Commission is greatly ap-

preciative of the support shown by USDA Rural Development and excited to hear the news of the additional funding,” said commission Chairman Zachary Johnson. “The hard work and dedication of USDA staff has enabled us to move our project to bid. Thanks to their support, we can provide a reliable, high quality water service to our member cities for years to come, ending a battle our communities have faced for decades.” USDA Rural Development provides loans and grants to help expand economic opportunities and create jobs in rural areas.

OPINION

Sept. 9, 2020

More than a game The pandemic has taken away one reason why fall is my favorite time of the year. Due to COVID-19 there is no Northwest Bearcat football this season, no way to relish the gridiron rivalry with Pitt State, no motivation to subscribe to the MIAA Network to watch Northwest live-stream DII football games right now. My football passions also took a hit when my graybeard buddies agreed to discontinue our fantasy football league. Maybe the decision was premature since it was made when the coronavirus first threatened; some might argue it was long overdue — after all, we were playing fantasy football before “Al Gore invented the internet!” This will be the first fall in more than 30 years that NFL statistics will merit only casual interest. My fantasy has expired. For a time, you know, all NFL games for 2020 were in question. It remains to be seen if player and stadium restrictions due to COVID-19 will keep NFL football schedules in full play. This just ain’t fair. Just as the KC Chiefs (finally) prepare to defend a world championship, the pandemic hits. But not only for Chiefs fans because the pandemic also threatens a pro football milestone in a much broader way: the NFL’s 100th birthday celebration. September marks the 100th anniversary of the first games played by the National Football League, then known as the American Professional Football Association. This anniversary is noted by the National WWI Museum and Memorial in Kansas City. Football by Darryl Wilkinson began in the mid-19th century (Pudge Heffelfinger’s $500 contract to play in a game for the Allegheny Athletic Association against the Pittsburgh Athletic Club would equal $13,246 in today’s dollars), but the museum in KC makes a good case connecting football to World War I. On Oct. 3, 1920, the Dayton (Ohio) Triangles hosted the first-ever NFL game against the Columbus Panhandles, winning 14-0. But it took time before football evolved into a popular sport on college campuses and longer for the pro ranks. Rapid changes in the game and increasing public awareness occurred in the years leading up to WWI. When America entered “the war to end all wars” in 1917, many young military recruits were familiar to the physical rigors of boot camp by previously playing football. Football, among other sports, was also important during postwar occupation of Germany. American unit commanders tried a number of activities to keep the soldiers busy and entertained when not on duty. Sports – including football as well as basketball, indoor baseball, soccer and boxing – played a major role. As soldiers turned their thoughts away from war and toward returning home and into civilian life, sports gave many soldiers a healthy reminder of “normal life.” The NFL we know today was founded in 1920 in response to a bidding war for players for professional teams, which some historians trace to a shortage of eligible men due to recent WWI military service. As soldiers returned from the war, interest in football skyrocketed. According to historian Chris Serb, in his book War Football: World War I and the Birth of the NFL, “More than 240 war football alumni, including seven hall-of-famers, would fill the NFL’s rosters during its early years, paving the way for the professional game’s survival and ultimate success.” There’s a more direct tie linking the WWI Museum to professional football. Liberty Memorial (now the National WWI Museum and Memorial) served as host to the parade rally when the KC Chiefs won Super Bowl IV in 1970. And who can forget the parade ending at nearby Union Station beneath the tower celebrating the Super Bowl LIV victory just a few months ago? I look forward to watching tomorrow night’s NFL opener on television when the KC Chiefs host the Houston Texans (I’m told a “nosebleed” season ticket holder seat among the 16,000 or so fans to be allowed into Arrowhead Stadium is coronavirus-priced at $300 apiece …yikes!). There’s no guarantee that the NFL will play all games scheduled for its 100th season. It’s certain that there’s no fantasy football for me this season. There’s no NCAA Division II fall championships this year, no Bearcat football games to relish during these upcoming weekends. And, yes, I know football is only a game. But as the WWI Museum reminds us, there are times when sports mean much more than a game. If football teaches you anything, it’s how you get up whenever you’re knocked down. So, if every football kickoff means we’re a step closer to normal and past these coronavirus times, then I can’t wait for another Friday night under the lights: “Let’s go, Bulldogs!”

About hyperloop, motorcycle helmets By State Rep. J. Eggleston

One of the bills recently enacted into law was HB1963, which related to transportation. This bill was an omnibus bill, meaning it had a lot of different items in it all under the general topic of transportation – 32 different items to be exact. I’ll cover a few of them in this report. The bill authorized the Highway Commission to form a public-private partnership to construct a “tube transport system,” also known as the Hyperloop. The Hyperloop could move passengers from St. Louis to KC in about 30 minutes, but the bill limited authorization to a test

area as a proof of concept. The developers of the Hyperloop are looking at a few possible states to begin development, and the state that gets the project could benefit in additional jobs and revenue. The use of eminent domain to acquire the land for the project is forbidden by the bill, and no taxpayer money from the State Road Fund shall be used for the development or operation of the system. This part of the bill expires in five years. Currently jet fuel is not sales taxed which saves citizens money, but that was set to expire. Had jet fuel began to be taxed, those taxes would have been added

Violent crime in our state By State Sen. Dan Hegeman

For a little more than a month, the Missouri Legislature has been taking a careful look at ways to curb violent crime throughout our state. While the main focus has been on larger cities, such as St. Louis and Kansas City, the main consensus has been there is an increase in the worst crimes not only in the big cities, but rural Missouri as well. What was crafted in the Missouri Senate had to be set aside due to concerns about too many different individual points in a single bill. Instead, the Missouri House of Representatives drafted multiple measures, each with a single issue included. After the House discussed and passed these proposals, they then came to the Missouri Senate: ● House Bill 66 creates a statewide witness protection fund. ● House Bill 2 allows hearsay evidence when witnesses have given statements and were then killed or intimidated before they could appear in court.

● House Bill 11 considers it felony child endangerment to encourage, aid or cause a child under 17 to commit violent weapons or drug offenses, which I believe would also help combat the growing trend of gang violence in cities. ● House Bill 46 temporarily relaxes the residency requirement for police officers in St. Louis.

Several of these measures where amended by the Missouri Senate during debate, which means they will need to receive another round of approval from the Missouri House before moving to the governor’s desk for his consideration. I realize these measures are not the final answer to our state’s violent crime problem. When it comes to violent crime, a singular solution does not exist; however, I do believe these measures give our law enforcement officers the additional tools they need to help clean up our streets and make our great state a safer place for everyone who calls Missouri home.

to passenger ticket prices and transport fees. HB1963 extends the exemption another decade. HB1963 also made it legal for motorcyclists over the age of 25 to ride a motorcycle without a helmet as long as they have health insurance to cover them in case of accident. Motorcycle enthusiasts had been advocating for this change for over 20 years. Memorial highways were established in the bill for Officers Christopher Morton and Gary Michael in Henry County and for sportscaster Bill Grigsby in Platte County. Also, special license plates were authorized for Honor Flights, Backstoppers (group that helps the families of fallen police officers), and Meritorious Service Medal awardees. Gov. Parson signed HB1963 in July, and its provisions went into effect on Aug. 28. To see all provisions of the bill, visit www.tinyurl. com/yyt45423.

A veteran’s plea: Return to the America we fought for by Jim White, PhD

I am a former Army Ranger. After two tours of Vietnam, I can attest to all that we sacrificed. We lost friends and families. We lost limbs. We lost years of our carefree youth. In many cases, we lost the ability ever again to feel completely safe and whole. We lost our innocence. And not just in Vietnam but in Lebanon, the Gulf War, Croatia, Afghanistan, and hot spots around the globe, soldiers – rangers, marines, navy men, pilots – did it gladly. Why? Because we loved America. But the America of today is not the same place it was. Its very fabric is unravelling. This angry, bitterly torn country is not the nation of ideals we fought for. Its deep polarization has made civil discourse impossible, in the media and in the public. We fought and risked our lives – and tragically, lost them – to uphold the values of our Constitution that we hold dear: de-

mocracy, freedom, tolerance, and more. Unfortunately, our leadership on both sides of the aisle has failed us by not adhering to these values. We have been pitted against each other along partisan, economic, and even racial, lines. Whoever would have thought that Americans would become our own greatest enemies? America must return to the principles on which this country was built. These are the principles our leaders should adhere to… and the litmus test voters judge them by in the critical upcoming election. We must return to wisdom and civility. Thankfully, everything we need to restore our country can be found in the texts and teachings of the Founding Fathers and Mothers. Regardless of which party we vote for, we should demand that leaders govern with criteria including: Truth. Right now, there is stupefying dishonesty in Washington, and that dishonesty is eroding the public’s trust in government. If we are not told the truth…

for instance, about the Coronavirus, then how are we to make informed decisions about whether it is safe to go out, to go to work, or to send our children to school? We must demand transparency. Accountability. This goes hand in hand with truth-telling. We must hold our leaders, as well as our public servants – such as our police – accountable for their actions. They must be worthy of our trust. Sua sponte, “of their own accord,” may be appropriate for army rangers, but not for political leaders. Patriotism. We elect politicians to lead and to serve the people. They must care about all Americans, not just their own electoral base, cronies, or special interest groups. We want to follow a passionate leader who loves this country and puts its interest above themselves, their political party, and winning votes. It should go without saying that those who serve and sacrifice are treated with

the utmost gratitude and respect. To utter words such as “loser” or “sucker” in the same breath as “fallen soldiers” is nothing short of repulsive. This week we commemorate September 11, one of the most horrific days in American history. We will lower our flags to half-staff to remember all those we lost to evil. But we should also remember that 9/11 marked a turning point for Americans coming together in mutual support and cooperation. It was a day that helped us recapture Esprit de Corps… the patriotism that characterized us, not just in the military but in society nationwide. Because that America is the one I was honored to fight for. Editor’s note: The author, Jim White, PhD, is the author of BROKEN AMERICA: Ten Guiding Principles to Restore America.

Altamont vacates an unused alley and portion of road The Village of Altamont vacated one alley and closed a portion of one street and said they would consider vacating another alley during their meeting held Aug. 23. An ordinance vacating an alley in 500 block between Second and Third Street and related matters received first and second readings. Due to new ownership of multiple lots in said block, there was a request to close the alley. No objections were raised, and the board voted to close the alley as specified. An ordinance vacating the east end of 700 block of Third Street also carried after first and second readings. During public comments, Cheyenne Curtis posed the question of possibly closing the alley in 500 block between Third and Fourth Streets. She stated it is not used by thru traffic and has become overgrown. The board agreed to consider her request once they obtain more details. Linda Lollar asked when Village streets will be repaired as some areas are full of large potholes. Roger Price explained that road work has to be done by a qualified and insured subcontractor and that street grade cannot be cut without potential damage to sewer lines. Street repairs will be placed on a future agenda. Financial reports and expense reports from March to August were approved. Due to suspension of the meeting because of COVID concerns, trustees elected June 2, had already been sworn in individually on June 19 by the village clerk in order to comply with the 20-day time frame specified by ordinance. Roger Price was elected as chairperson; Lonnie Norris as vice-chair; Sue Belsher as trea-

surer. Rates were provided for 2019 (.5493) and the proposed rate for 2020 (.5548). The board then set the property tax levy at .5548. Next regular meeting was

scheduled for 3 p.m. on Sept. 13 in the Altamont Community Building. The above are the unapproved minutes of the meeting for the Village of Altamont held Aug. 23.

The new roof is on the stage at the Jameson City Park and electricity and lights have been reinstalled. Another large branch came down in July and Adam-ondi-Ahman volunteers removed it. Plans were made during the July 16 meeting of the Village of Jameson for what to do with funds remaining from donations to rebuild the stage. The remaining funds will go towards building a ramp to the stage and rebuilding the bleachers. Bob Woolsey reported on a shut-off valve he has revamped, and pending installations. One delinquent account was shut off. Woolsey reported he tried to put clay and gravel in some washed out roads by the Baptist Church and by the L. Fisher residence. Two loads of rock were delivered to the supply pile. Cliff King is to spread gravel on the streets. MoDOT was contacted regarding road repair and to try to get assistance or funding. Moving to other items on the agenda, the Complaint Panel received a complaint about the streets, with a recommendation that culverts be installed. Vehicles were moved from the street from one of the contacts made last month. A question was asked about right-of-way for cars parked on streets. As board member Natalie May was absent from the last meeting, she was sworn in for

her new two-year term this meeting. Elaine Bohannon was then sworn in as village clerk. Natalie May will remain as chairman and David Lainhart as chair pro tem. In financial matters, the following were approved the general checking account financial report; the restricted funds/ roads account; the semi-annual and projected revised financial reports for the general fund; the restricted funds/roads account; the sewer account; the sewer debt service account, depreciation and replacement account; and the sewer meter account. Certificates of Deposit were approved. The clerk reported on the township rock being the same funding as Floyd Funds, coming from the same taxes, etc., which is why township rock is not placed on streets. The clerk asked about a snow removal bid request, and the board consensus was to wait until the September meeting. Executive session was held to consider employee matters. Next meeting was set for Aug. 20. The above are unapproved minutes from July 16. Board members present were Natalie May, Lorriann Fisher, DeeAnn Fisher, and Vance Hefley. David Lainhart was absent.

Goal line stand in OT preserves 32-26 Hornet victory

The Gallatin Bulldogs found out just how far away one yard could be late in Friday night’s football tussle against rival Hamilton. Hoping to successfully close out the contest in overtime, Gallatin took the ball from the 25 yard line to the 4 in five plays, needing just a yard to pick up a first down and keep the potential go-ahead drive alive. Hamilton had other ideas. A 6-yard loss on a broken play, followed by a carry for no gain, killed the drive and pumped up the Hornets, who had led for most of the contest. Moments later, PHS quarterback Tucker Ross rolled right with a decision to either keep the ball as he had done so many times during the contest, or hunt for a receiver in a crowded end zone. Ross pulled up at the sideline and whistled a pass in the corner that sailed through the hands of a Bulldog defender and into the grasp of Nathan Wyckoff for the game-winning score. Gallatin’s shot at a win seemed improbable, if not impossible with less than a minute in regulation remaining to play, especially when the yellow penalty flag continued to fly. Kevin Meeks fielded a Hornet punt and returned to the 39 yard line. With 13 seconds left, quarterback Brinley Vandiver was whistled for intentional grounding as he went to the turf in the grasp of a pair of Hornet pass rushers. The subsequent penalty meant loss of down. With one final play from Hamilton’s 41, Vandiver dropped back to pass and lofted a perfect spiral to the Bulldog corner of the end zone. A streaking Isaac Bird leaped for the ball and came down in bounds and in the end zone for the tying score with less than a second on the game clock. Going for the win, the Bulldogs lined up for an extra point kick but the ball sailed just wide

of the right upright. Hamilton’s goal line defense made an earlier stand, as well. With good protection, Vandiver completed a long pass to Payton Feiden to the Hornet 30 with 5 minutes left in regulation. Another Vandiver to Feiden connection moved the ball to Hamilton’s 2 yard line. Vandiver carried to the 1 but back-to-back losses set up fourth down with 2 minutes remaining. Vandiver scrambled for no gain but an illegal participation penalty on the Hornets gave Gallatin one more shot at the goal line despite a false start penalty. A pass through the uprights to a GHS receiver fell incomplete and the Hornets appeared ready to start their victory celebration, unknowing that OT was waiting in the wings. Hamilton seemed to have an offensive player in the right spot all night long. The first Hornet score came early in the first quarter when Ross fumbled the ball into the end zone where it was recovered by a teammate. The Bulldogs answered on the scoreboard at 3:16 of the first with a 67-yard bomb from Vandiver to Feiden. The Hornets regained the lead with a Ross 60-yard keeper and Sawyer Morrow PAT. Gallatin continued to struggle against the penalty flag into the second quarter. Meeks returned a Hornet punt 50-plus yards to the Hamilton 10 but a penalty nullified the run. A carry by Meeks, again to the Hornet 10 was also cancelled by the yellow flag. Hamilton spread the gap on the scoreboard with 1:50 left in the first half when Ross intercepted a Bulldog pass and returned it down the sideline for a 60-yard TD. Morrow’s kick made it 20-6, but less than a minute later Gallatin tacked on 6 points with a 46-yard TD completion

With less than 2 seconds on the clock, Ross found Wyckoff in the end zone from 5 yards out, pushing the score to 26-14 as the half ended. A 7-yard TD reception by Feiden cut the gap to 26-20, a

score that stood up until Gallatin’s last-second miracle. Gallatin’s schedule gets no easier this week as they travel to South Harrison, which rebounded from a narrow loss to East Buchanan in week one by trouncing West Platte, 49-16, last week.

Local businesses step up for GHS softball improvements Gallatin business owners “stepped up to the plate” recently by making donations for a new GHS softball scoreboard and public address system. The MFA Oil Foundation awarded a grant to Gallatin R-5 School to assist with the purchase of the new PA/sound system and scoreboard for the softball complex. The MFA Oil Foundation provides support to nonprofit organizations that are working to improve communities where MFA Oil has a significant concentration of members and employees. Since it was established in 1998, the MFA Oil Foundation has awarded more than one million dollars in grants. MFA Oil Director of Employee Relations Tom May described the MFA Oil Foundation as “a

program that allows our company to give support back to the rural communities that are the foundation of our business. The grants the Foundation awards help support youth programs active in addressing and solving community problems and improving the quality of life.” Donations of money or installation to the GHS softball program included MFA Oil (Mike Beck and Chuck Weldon) and major contributors Gallatin Truck and Tractor (John Sullenger, Travis and Amy Heldenbrand), RE/Max Town and Country (Anita Riley), Lick Skillet Seeds (Trenton and J. D. Dowell and J. Chrisman), Adkison Electric (Matt Adkison) and Whitney Roofing (Adam Whitney, Steve Filley and Scott Crose).

ment and do not know beforehand whether they will be required to learn a language. Prior to going to their assigned area, missionaries spend a short period of time training to teach the people they will serve. They learn how to teach the gospel in an orderly and clear way. If necessary, they begin to learn the language of the people they will be teaching. This training is now handled remotely due to the current pandemic. Missionary schedules and rules are ﬂexible, depending on the culture of the country where missionaries are serving. A typical missionary day begins by waking at 6:30 a.m. for personal study. Missionaries for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints practice social distancing. Most of their teaching has moved online to comply with CDC guidelines. Additionally, missionaries serve people in the communities where they are called. Missionaries are allowed to serve people in outdoor projects where they can practice social distancing. Many have taken on projects such as photographing headstones for the Billiongraves project. Missionaries end

their day by 10 p.m. Missionary work is voluntary. Missionaries fund their own missions, except for their transportation to and from their ﬁeld of labor. They are not paid for their services. It is expected that Hannah Richards will serve for 18 months in the England mission. Hannah is the daughter of Joseph and Rebecca Richardson. She is currently a sophomore at BYU-Idaho and is completing a certiﬁcate in marriage, family, and human relations. Hannah states, “I want to serve a mission because the gospel of Jesus Christ has made my life very wonderful, and I want to share that joy with others.” Hannah continues, “I am excited for the chance to thank God for all that He has done for me. I will have one and a half years of trying to focus completely on becoming closer to Heavenly Father and serving His children.” Dallin Thomas is expected to serve 24 months in Boston, MA. Dallin is the son of Dana and Hannah Thomas of Jameson. Dallin said he is excited to “bring people to be together in our big family and serve in such an awesome area!”

Dallin Thomas

Richardson and Thomas will join more than 67,000 missionaries for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints worldwide. Missionaries receive their assignment from church headquarters and are sent only to countries where governments allow the church to operate. Missionaries do not request their area of assign-

Hospital visitor restrictions revised With the continued spread of COVID-19, Hedrick Medical Center at Chillicothe and Wright Memorial Hospital at Trenton have revised their visitor guidelines to further protect patients and care team members. The new visitor guidelines fall in line with the Saint Luke’s Kansas City area hospitals as ‘Level 4 Restricted.’ Level 4 Restricted visitor guidelines restrict visitors to one visitor per patient per day, no visitor re-entry, and no visitors under the age of 14. Masks are always required to be worn by the visitors, even in the patient rooms. No visitors will be allowed in the Emergency Departments. Exceptions to this restriction will be made for patients under 18 or for patients who are cognitively impaired. During the COVID-19 pandemic, hospitals are taking extra precautions with the safety of patients, visitors, and staff in mind with mandatory masking and screening upon arrival. For more general visitor information, read the Saint Luke’s Visitor Guidelines.
