M MM Vacant dwelling found on fire early Saturday morning

On Jan. 6 at approximately 3:22 a.m., Gallatin Fire Protection District was dispatched to a fire discovered southwest of town on Quartz Avenue.

Upon arrival, a house was found completely destroyed by fire. Due to radiant heat, a detached garage was starting to burn. Two hose lines were deployed to extinguish the fire on the garage and a few large trees. The garage was saved, but the two-story house was a total loss.

The house, owned by Tuggle Farms, did not have any electricity connected to it and had been vacant for quite some time. The cause of the fire is under investigation. Fire crews released from the scene at approximately 5:29 a.m.

Firefighters find flames, ammo at Gallatin residence

On Tuesday morning, Jan. 9, at approximately 5:30 a.m., Gallatin Fire Protection District was dispatched to a structure fire at 809 West Mill. Dispatch advised the reporting party could hear ammunition going off and saw flames coming out of a window. The home is occupied by Bobby Tull, but no one was inside as the family was out of town. Engine 101 and Rescue 107 responded to the fire. (continued on page 5)

Three burglaries occurred in Gallatin in the early morning hours of Jan. 5, according to the Gallatin Police Department.

Police Chief Mark Richards said Bobbie’s Hair and Nail Salon at 404 North Main; Farmer’s Insurance at 402 North Main; and Flowers and More at 902 West Grand, were illegally entered. Petty cash was taken from two of the businesses; nothing was taken from the third, which

had no cash on-site.

The Daviess County Sheriff ’s Department reports a break-in took place at the Dutch Pantry in Jamesport. This break-in was also late Thursday night/early Friday morning, Jan. 4-5.

Chief Richards also reported another burglary at the new water plant on Jan. 4. Someone broke in through a garage door and took a couple of space heaters, a propane tank, and a 30-gal-

lon water heater. This incident, however, does not appear to be connected to the other breakins in Gallatin, as the method of gaining entry was different.

The investigations are ongoing on all these incidents.

Anyone with information relating to these or any other crimes is urged to contact the Gallatin Police Department at (660)663-3580 or Chief Richards at (660)663-9512.

‘Let Your Inner Zeus Loose!’ during 11th Lake Viking Polar Plunge Feb. 24 Here’s an “unbearable” event and a unique opportunity to show your bravery as you support local Special Olympics athletes by walking, running or crawling into the frigid winter waters of Lake Viking.

The 11th Annual Lake Viking Polar Plunge is set for Feb. 24 at the Lake Viking Clubhouse.

Registration is at noon; the traditional parade of costumes at 1:30 p.m.; and the plunge immediately follows at 2 p.m.

This year’s theme is “Let Your Inner Zeus Loose!”

In 2017, the Lake Viking Plunge had about 100 plungers and raised over $30,000. This one-of-a-kind event promises a fun atmosphere complete with music, crazy costumes and lasting memories for everyone.

Participants must be at least 10 years old and raise a minimum of $75 each by event day.

Fundraising prizes will include an anorak pullover at the $300 Goosebumps Level; a backpack at the $500 Chilly Level; a packable puffer jacket at the $1,000 Frost Level; and a weatherproof down blanket (plus one of each other level) at the $2,000 Arctic Level.

This year, an added attraction will be the PeeWee Plunge for youngsters, located under the shelter behind the clubhouse.

(Children under the age of eight are required to wear life jackets to be within 50 feet of the water, which is why the event is located behind the clubhouse.) This event, for future Polar Plungers, will require participants to raise $25, and they will receive a T-shirt.

Proceeds benefit Special Olympics Missouri (SOMO). You may mail offline donations to: Special Olympics Missouri, Polar Plunge, 2300 Frederick Ave., Suite 204, St. Joseph, MO, 64506.

Please include your name in the memo line of checks.

Go to www.somo.org/plunge to register or for more information. Plungers: Register online and order your shirt! You may also call Judy Rash, 816-2446380 or 660-673-6015, or Melody Prawitz, Special Olympics coordinator, at 816-233-6232.

A national treasure lost “It was a once in a lifetime thing,” said Chief Mark Richards of the Gallatin Police Department. “You don’t get a chance to hold a bald eagle very often.”

The eagle came to the Gallatin Police on Dec. 15 after Zachariah Billings and Lehi Fenn discovered it in a field near 215th Street just outside Gallatin. The eagle was having trouble staying in the trees and was found on the ground.

Mr. Billings brought the eagle into the Gallatin Police Department which then contacted the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC). The MDC from Caldwell County responded. (continued on page 3)

We’re fading away

by Freida Marie Crump

The waiting game You’d think I’d have the hang of it by now. The waiting game.

Monday brought too much waiting. I awoke about 5:15 a.m. to a cell phone text informing me that we had no internet service at the office. That meant some publications normally sent to us electronically for printing were unreachable somewhere in cyberspace. After resetting the servers, I phoned our provider to report the service disruption — I didn’t chance waiting around for somebody else to complain.

I didn’t expect the usual “Please take a number... your call will be answered in the order it was received,” due to the early time of day. I didn’t expect to hear a real person either. So, I waited, listening to each recorded prompt and then realized we weren’t the only ones without internet. The recorded voice informed me, “We are aware your broadband service is out of order; please wait while we complete repairs.”

As if we had a choice. So, the new work week started with “Get up and wait.”

So, we waited. It was tempting to call employees to advise them to just stay home — we’re that dependent on the internet.

And so, as they each arrived, we all waited. Hours later (and after considerable shuffling to get some digital files delivered here by old-fashioned vehicle driving), the internet clicked back on and we were back in business.

I try keeping things in perspective.

This wasn’t as bad as the two hours spent in the dentist’s chair this past week, waiting for them

to finish up prepping me for a new jaw tooth bridge. It wasn’t as bad as waiting for the hot water in the shower this morning which never came (the lime buildup in our water heater only delivers scalding hot or icy cold and I know which one I’ve come to expect).

O the E itor s S ike

by Darryl Wilkinson

The internet’s return was a lot quicker than waiting for our 3-year-old dog to mature from the frantically excited, frenzied pup that she is (relentlessly clawing at the patio door) to become the calm, friendly companion you’d prefer to greet as you arrive home.

My conclusion: Waiting ...in line ...on the phone ...at the store ...in school. Anywhere. No fun.

Unfortunately, the whole waiting experience is inevitable. It starts in preschool and is neverending thereafter. Lines are a part of life – and not just the ones creeping in around my eyes and forehead.

At Christmas I waited in line to buy a new kitchen gadget called an Air-Daddy. It’s like a portable convection oven. It uses hot air to cook foods, the idea being a healthy alternative to frying. I got it all wrong. I expected microwave quickness. Nobody told me about the wait while the

Legislative targets for 2018

by State Rep. J. Eggleston

This year’s session will be the longest it can possibly be. Hopefully, that will allow for the legislature to accomplish more positive reforms for Missourians.

Among priorities of this year’s session are ending human trafficking, enacting a lobbyist gift ban, reforming our state income tax code to adapt to recent changes made to the federal income tax code, continuing last year’s efforts in labor reform and tort (lawsuit) reform, and dealing with transportation funding.

The 21st Century Transportation Task Force, a panel made up largely of state legislators, completed their 10th and final public outreach meeting on the possibilities of more funding for

MoDOT. They have now released a paper outlining their findings and recommendations. Among them, are a 10-cent per gallon increase in the gas tax and 12-cent per gallon increase in the diesel fuel tax.

Also entertained is the possibility of increasing license fees for electric vehicles since they cause road wear and tear, but pay little to no gas tax.

As for income tax reform, the federal government recently passed a tax reform bill that, according to my analysis, will lower income taxes for Americans across nearly every filing type and income level. But parts of our Missouri tax code are coupled with the federal tax code, and so will need to be changed.

food actually cooks — 30 minutes or more to get some French fries. I like the fries, can’t stand the wait.

I was 10 minutes late for my appointment to give blood at the Bloodmobile. So, they conspired to exaggerate my tardiness, forcing me to wait at every station along the way. I finally made it back home a full 45 minutes after my wife did despite our scheduled time with “the vampires” being the same. And I still had to wait on supper (but notice how I’ve wisely omitted any mention of waiting on my wife in any way ...er, until now).

Then yesterday, you guessed it, the internet at the office went dead again. This time we were among the lucky few on a fiber circuit that was somehow cut near Albany. This time the wait for service to return was shorter than before. But, like I said, I just don’t have the hang of waiting patiently like we’re supposed to.

Blame it on a childhood trauma. I’d spent all but a dime of my allowance, waiting for my mom and sister to finish shopping at a mall in east KC, when it hit me. I needed a bathroom, and I couldn’t wait. Really. So, I bounded down the escalator toward the basement restrooms in a faraway store. It was the first time I confronted pay stalls. Entry would cost me my last dime. But, not knowing what to expect, I waited while wondering “What if you had to pay to get out again?”

Forced waiting can be painful, literally. That trauma is when I first realized how there’s always someone making a buck (or at least a dime) off the waiting game. I’ve hated waiting ever since. Maybe you’re better at the waiting game than me.

Nobody likes people who have no patience, especially those who unfairly jump to the front of the line. Oh, that’s not you, you say? So, be honest, are you one of those that sneak through the express lane at one of the big box stores when your cart contains more than the allotted 20 items?

Waiting. Maybe for the end of this column. You’re nearly there.

Hopefully some tidbit kept you reading and you weren’t waiting for something extraordinary. Maybe you’ve at least been distracted if not challenged or entertained. In a psychological sense, you aren’t really waiting when you are waiting if it doesn’t feel like you are waiting, correct?

Ponder that one awhile. I’ll wait for your answer ...not!

Greetings from Poosey.

Herb can go entire months being absolutely numbed to the outside world, oblivious of hurricanes, plagues, and earthquakes then for reasons known only to God and the American Society for Psychiatric Abnormalities he’ll wake up and suddenly get concerned about something. Such was the case last week when he threw his morning paper down onto the kitchen floor and sat there staring at me, mouth agape and eyes clouded over with a glaze that made him look even more deranged than usual.

“We’re fading away,” he said.

“It’s your glasses, Herb. I’ve told you to rinse the lenses.”

“Our small towns are fading away, Freida. Poosey once had hundreds of citizens when we were married and now we’re down to just a tick over a few dozen.”

“I had no idea that our wedding would cause so many people to leave.”

“It says here that we’re becoming a nation of old people and that’s about all we’ve got left here ‘round Poosey. If somebody ever had to run for help we’d have to hire it done.”

Herb has these spells and sometimes it’s best to just let them run their course. It’s often just a momentary spurt of lunacy and with his memory the urge is likely to be gone tomorrow. “Herb,” I said, “Countries always get older and it’s harder for older folks to live in rural communities. Simple as that.”

“But listen to this, Freida.” He picked his paper up off the floor and began reading. “In the last century the number of persons in the U.S. under 65 has tripled, but the number of those over 65 has increased by a factor of eleven.” It says that back when they signed the Declaration of Independence the average life expectancy was 35. Now it’s nearly 80.”

I smiled, “Just another reason to avoid signing any important documents on hot days.”

“I’m serious, Freida. It says that “declining mortality and fertility rates” are the main cause.

“We’re living too long and we’re not having enough babies?

Herb, I can solve that first problem as soon as I find your gun, but I’m going to have to work a bit on the second.”

“We’ve got to do something about this, Freida!”

“You are not going to go up and down the blacktops ‘round Poosey knocking on doors and asking women to have more children. It’s just not something they expect from a spindly-legged old man on a cold Tuesday morning.”

“Maybe if I made an announcement in church.”

“Oh, that’d be just peachy. Stand up and in the name of God proclaim that all young couples should hurry out the back door, go home and. . . ” “Okay. Maybe that’s too blunt. It says here that Japan and France have started offering incentives for young couples to have more kids.”

“Having babies for cash? That doesn’t sound like the kind of future populace our country needs, Herb.”

“But we’ve got to have enough population to replace the work force and provide the tax revenue.”

“Herb, how about we combine the two to solve the problem?

Encourage octogenarians to start having more children. That’d increase the number of kids running around town and it’d no doubt shorten the lifespan of some of us.”

“This is depressing, Freida ...living in a country full of old people. Who’s there going to be left to get up when the doorbell rings?”

“It doesn’t matter, Herb. We won’t be able to hear it.”

Herb turned his newspaper over and started reading the comics, his attention span having run its course. I looked at him and thought to myself that if this is what we’re left with then perhaps our nation should start offering a few perks for the fertile among us. But as I read the history of the world it seems that no nation has ever decayed and fallen because of its lack of young people.

It’s the wisdom and good sense of the older minds that’ll do us in.

You ever ‘round Poosey, stop by. We may not answer the door but you’ll enjoy the trip.

Letters: Ford sign from Swofford Motors prompts special memories, request

Editor’s note: The following account follows an inquiry made by the writer after seeing a photo printed in “125 Years with the Gallatin North Missourian,” a book published in 1990. On page is a photograph of wo ord Motors which once conducted business just east of today’ s Daviess County Library in Gallatin.

Dear Editor: Back in 1979, a family friend invited me to see his car collection. Besides the cars, he had decorated his garage walls with old vintage LeMans posters (ca. 1920’s) and other auto related stuff. That inspired me and my best friend to do the same thing.

We began scouring towns within a 200 mile radius of KC on weekends looking for old signs -- particularly gasoline, oil, and anything else auto related. After building our collections for a while, I knew that I really wanted a Ford sign badly. My chance at one finally came in late May of 1981.

The Ford dealership in Princeton, MO, had gone out of business in early 1981 and they advertised their upcoming liquidation auction in the Kansas City Star paper.

I knew this was my opportunity. There just had to be an old Ford sign there. We drove up to Princeton that Saturday morning in May only to find they didn’t have any old Ford signs on the premises. Ford Motor Company had dictated that all dealerships comply with new signage requirements which included the backlit plastic face signs. The dealer in Princeton had complied and, thus, all that was there were the new Ple iglas signs -- of no interest to me.

Disappointed, we boarded up to head for home. But instead of backtracking home on I-35, we decided to take a back roads route that took us through Trenton, Jamesport, and eventually Gallatin.

As we came into Gallatin from the east, we turned south on Main and when we

The bald eagle was turned over to the conservation officer to be transported to a recovery clinic. It did not have any apparent outside injuries. Unfortunately, the eagle did not recover and the Gallatin Police were notified that it died that same night.

“Since nobody can possess an American bald eagle, it will be shipped to the National Eagle Repository,” said Chief Richards.

“American Indians consider the bald eagle to be sacred and use the feathers for religious and cultural purposes.”

In recognition of the significance of the feathers of the bald eagle to Native Americans, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service

established the National Eagle Repository in the early 1970’s.

The repository, a one-of-akind facility, is operated and managed by the Office of Law Enforcement, U.S. Fish Wildlife Service and is located at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge northeast of Denver, Colo. Its purpose is to provide a central location for the receipt, storage and distribution of bald and golden eagles found dead throughout the United States.

The eagles, and their parts, are shipped to Native Americans and Alaskan Natives enrolled in federally recognized tribes for use in religious ceremonies.

911 sets budget meeting for Jan. 25 The Daviess County Central 911 budget meeting has been set for 7 p.m. on Jan. 25, and existing disbursements and payroll will continue until the 2018 budget is approved.

In other business, the December treasurer’s report was accepted during the meeting of the Daviess County Central 911 Board on Dec. 28, with bills of $5,619.79, revenue of $47,621.64, and a checkbook balance of $88,629.71.

The board reviewed all health insurance quotes and accepted the quote from LifeStyle at a monthly premium of $2,084.76 per month. The premium for January was presented to Dale

Phillips, insurance broker, in the amount of $2,084.76, with coverage beginning on Jan. 1.

The generator was having starting issues and the air conditioning/heater combination unit in the office quit; both will be repaired by a local electrician.

The regular 911 board meeting will be held on Feb. 1.

The above is taken from the unapproved minutes of the Daviess County Central 911 Board meeting held on Dec. 28. Present were Gene Walker, John Sullenger, Daniel Wilson, Joyce Eads and Ronetta Burton. Absent were Todd Watson and Kate Chrisman. Also present was Supervisor Dana Carder.

Ag updates for pesticide applicators Every year, MU Extension agricultural specialists in the northwest region conduct “Ag Updates” meetings. These are held in almost all of the counties in the region.

The idea behind these meetings is to provide another place for pesticide applicators to obtain or renew their private applicator’s license.

In addition, an agronomist will update farmers on new research, insects, diseases, or anything else of interest. Likewise, specialists from the other disciplines of our Ag team (livestock, agriculture business, horticulture, and Ag engineering) may give updates as well.

If you want to obtain or renew your private pesticide applicator’s license, you must own a copy of the book, “Private Pesticide Applicator Reference Manual.” The book is $12 and is available from University of Missouri Extension.

The book will be available for sale at the Ag Update meetings as well. If you already own a copy, you must bring it to the meeting and show it when renewing your license. Our agronomist cannot sign your application without seeing your book in hand.

At the time of this writing,

schedules for all the meetings have not been finalized, although many have been. Watch for the meeting for your county.

Ag Updates are held from January into early March. Please watch for information at http:// extension.missouri.edu/nwhort/ ag-updates.aspx.

Be sure to call the local MU Extension Center in the county that you choose to visit for additional information.

Emergency blood drive for Gallatin Community Blood Center will conduct a lifesaving blood drive from 1:30-5:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 17, at the Daviess County Library, 306 West Grand, Johnson Conference Room.

December fire incidents reported

Not a mythical beast, but still strange to see an elk wandering around area Elk in Daviess County stir quite a bit of interest. A photo of an elk posted recently on the Gallatin North Missourian’s Facebook page received 534 shares, 1,244 photo views, and 378 comments.

According to the Daviess County Conservation Agent Alan Bradford, there have been four confirmed sightings of this same elk in Daviess County that he knows about.

The first sighting was on Nov. 11, 2017. Deer hunters took a picture of the elk while they were deer hunting in the Lock Spring’s area. The second sighting was a trail camera picture. The date on the picture was Nov. 26, 2017. The picture was in Daviess County north of Breckenridge.

The third sighting was Dec. 3, 2017. A couple saw the elk while they were feeding cattle southwest of Jamesport. The fourth sighting was the trail camera picture in the Jamesport newspaper last week — which was also posted on Gallatin’s Facebook page.

All the sightings have been of the same elk, Agent Bradford

says. It’s an immature elk with a 2x2 rack, which means it has two antler points on each side.

Most of the questions Agent Bradford gets about the elk are in regards to its origins.

“Since it’s an immature elk I would say it has wandered in from another state,” he says.

“Kansas and Nebraska both have elk. People have asked if it’s an elk from southern Missouri. The elk in southern Missouri have been ear tagged or have a radio telemetry collar for tracking purposes. This elk doesn’t have either of those.”

Agent Bradford said the keen interest is most likely due to the novelty of an elk in Daviess County, rather than people wanting to hunt elk. Elk are a protected species in Missouri, which means there isn’t a hunting season for them.

If the elk is causing property damage the elk could be killed; however, the damage would have to be reported to a conservation agent before the elk could be killed. So far Agent Bradford said he hasn’t received any reports of damage.

The Gallatin Fire Protection District reported the following incidents for December: 1st at 10:50 am: Brush/grass fire at 37810 240th; 5th at 3:09 am: Medical assist on S. Main St.; 9th at 12:51 pm: Medical assist on S.

VFW Auxiliary recognizes Patriot’s Pen, VOD essay winners Veterans of Foreign Wars Frank Frazier Post 2172 Auxiliary is proud to announce the 201718 winners of the Patriot Pen contest: first place winner receiving $50, Tori Dunks, daughter of Mike and Lupe Dunks of Jamesport, a student at Tri County R-7 Middle School; second place receiving $35, Matthew Manning, son of Rick and Amanda Manning of Chillicothe, a student at Tri County R-7 Middle School; third place receiving $25, Elle Copple, daughter of Steve and Ronda Copple of Gallatin, a student at Gallatin R-5 Middle School.

The Patriot Pen contest is a worldwide competition that gives students in grades six to eight the opportunity to write a 300 to 400–word theme-based essay expressing their views on democracy. The VFW enacted the Patriot’s Pen youth essay in 1995 as a way to encourage young minds to examine America’s history, along with their own experiences in modern American Society while improving their writing skills. This year’s theme was “America’s Gift to My Generation.”

Sherri Carder, Auxiliary Youth Activities Chairperson, would like to challenge Middle School students in Daviess

County to participate in the Patriot Pen Contest each year. At the national level, first place winner receives $5,000 and an all expense-paid trip to Washington, D.C. “Our students’ thoughts and ideas of America’s past, present and future are important to keep our nation strong,” Chairman Carder said. “They are our future.”

The Auxiliary is proud to announce the winners of this year’s Voice of Democracy competition: First place, Hannah Richardson, daughter of Joseph and Rebecca Richardson of Pattonsburg. Hannah is a junior in home study. She will receive $50 and advances to district level. The second-place winner is Maddison Michael, daughter of Doug and Angel Michael of Gallatin, a freshman at Gallatin R-5 High School. She will receive $35.

This year’s 2017-2018 theme was “American History: Our Hope for the Future.”

Chairman Carder would like to encourage all high school students to participate in the Voice of Democracy Contest. At the national level, first-place prize is a $30,000 college scholarship. For more information, please contact her at 660.663.3106.

“Our schools have many talented students who take this opportunity to express their thoughts and ideas in themes related to America’s past, present and future,” she said.

The National Association of Broadcasters started the Voice of Democracy Scholarship program in 1947. The VFW became a national sponsor in the late 1950’s and assumed sole responsibility for the program in 1961.

The Voice of Democracy competition provides high school students grades nine through 12 with the opportunity to speak out on freedom and democracy. It is a world-wide audio-essay competition that requires entrants to write and record a three-tofive minute essay on a patrioticbased theme.

VFW meeting VFW District One meeting will be held Jan. 13 at Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 7159 in Princeton. District one will be honoring the Voice of Democracy and Patriot Pen essay winners and the teacher award. The joint meeting will begin at 11 a.m. The regular district meeting will follow the joint meeting and lunch.

Ellis on dean’s State Technical College of Missouri would like to congratulate students who are eligible for the dean’s list for the 2017 fall semester, including Colton Ellis of Jamesport.

To be placed on the dean’s list, a full-time student must earn a semester grade point average between 3.5 and 4.0 on a 4-point scale.

Blizzard bags via Meals on Wheels due to county health department help

The Active Aging Resource Center distributed blizzard bags to Meals on Wheels clients thanks to a $500 community grant from Wal-Mart and a partnership with the Daviess County Health Department.

The blizzard bags contained a case of bottled water, a man-

ual can opener, a flashlight, a first aid kit, a Daviess County Resource Guide, and “Ready in 3” information for disaster preparedness. GHS FBLA students helped deliver the blizzard bags.

“Ready in 3” information can be found online at health.mo.gov/ emergencies/readyin3/.

Fire (continued from page one) Upon arrival, firefighters found a wood framed one-story dwelling with fire showing out the northwest bedroom window and northwest roof eaves. Smoke was coming out of the roof eaves along the front of the house.

Fire crews deployed two hose lines for extinguishment and utilized a hydrant for water supply.

Approximately 500 gallons of water were used to put the fire out.

The fire was caused by combustibles too close to a space heater.

Two bedrooms, a bathroom, the attic area, and the living room were damaged by fire. Heat damage was sustained throughout the rest of the house. Fire crews released from the scene at approximately 9:09 a.m. Also responding were Daviess County Ambulance and Gallatin Police Department.

Lawson Tournament

Gallatin-Hamilton girls set to renew old rivalry Gallatin and Hamilton girls’ basketball teams find themselves divided these days by conference affiliation and class size, but tomorrow night (Thursday) the two communities will find themselves on opposite sides of the Lawson gymnasium when the #3 Gallatin Lady Bulldogs meet the #2 Hamilton Lady Hornets in the semifinal round of this year’s Lawson Tournament, weather permitting.

The Lady Hornets advanced

to the semifinals with a 52-18 victory over Richmond on Tuesday. The Lady Bulldogs moved on Monday after a win over West Platte.

Hamilton enters Thursday’s contest riding a 5-game winning streak after dropping back-toback games in December to Mid-Buchanan (by 23) and St. Joseph Lafayette (by 3). Hamilton finished third in the KCI Tournament.

Gallatin, the #7 seed, will play North Platte at 5:45 p.m. today (Wednesday) in the consolation round. The #6 Panthers fell to Richmond in the opening round.

The winner of that game will face either Carrollton or West Platte in Friday’s 6:30 p.m. consolation final.

The Hornets held a scoring advantage in each of the first three quarters. The Bulldogs cut a 19-point deficit back in the fourth period to the final 11-point difference.

Jett Simmons and Aidan Adkison shared scoring honors for Gallatin with 10 points each.

Gallatin’s Kelsey Maxwell named to Holiday Hoops All-Star Team

For whatever life throws your way …

Gallatin High School junior Kelsey Maxwell was among 12 young women named to the 2017 High School Holiday Hoops AllStar Team announced last Friday by the Steering Committee of the 13th annual event.

“A very difficult decision by the committee who observed each of the 70 basketball games recently played on the campus of North Central Missouri College,” says Hoops Director Steve Maxey.

“The committee members considered the play by the student athletes during the 2017 Holiday Hoops only,” said Maxey, “and not their play during the current season or previous years.”

Also chosen to the 2017 All-Star Girls Team were: Brooke Littrell, Green City; Averi Acton, Brashear; Kortlyn Rounkles, Southwest Livingston; Kaylie Campbell, Southwest Livingston; Taylor Dolt, Lawson; Jasmine Taylor, Braymer; Payton Craig, North Harrison; Jaelyn Thomas, Princeton; Tray Byrd, St. Joseph Lafayette; Jayde Williams, St. Joseph Benton; and Mia Henderson, St. Joseph Benton.

Altamont United Methodist Adult Sunday School lesson was about what faithful means.

Scripture focus was Daniel and his friends demonstrating the rewards of faithfulness to God. They did not eat the king’s food, but decided to eat only what God said in the law they should eat.

Little people enjoyed sparkling crafts and cut-outs with a Bible story.

Deloris Read sent a nice love donation to our church. We appreciate her dedication and remembrance to our congregation for the 2018 year.

Our sympathy is extended to the family of Margaret Stith. Our church, community, friends and neighbors had a nice funeral dinner at the KAW Fire Station in Altamont. We appreciate the fire department for the use of their building on June 6.

The Barker family enjoyed their belated Christmas and New Year’s gathering in North Kansas City at the home of Pam Gingerich on Saturday.

Closing hymn for Sunday School was “Great is Thy Faithfulness.”

W

e would like to thank the Gallatin Fire Protection District for their efforts in trying to save the Tuggle House early Saturday morning, Jan. 6. There were lots of fond memories in that home. It is so sad to see it gone. Thank you again to our fire fighters. ~The Belshe families

Panthers’ 4th quarter surge clinches 57-46 win

Lady Bulldogs smother Polo for third GRC win

Polo’s Lady Panthers came out firing with the first bucket of the third quarter. Problem is – it was their first field goal of the game.

Gallatin built a 23-5 half-time lead, allowing only five first-half free throws, on the way to a 5613 GRC East victory on Friday.

The Lady Bulldogs led, 9-1, at the close of the first period with Cora Stout, Karley Salmon, Courtney Shubert and Hayley Michael each providing the scoring. Kelsey Maxwell, Megan Cox and Maelea Coulson also joined the scoring parade for Gallatin in the second quarter.

Polo’s scoring troubles lingered well into the second quarter. The Lady Panthers couldn’t find the range thanks to Gallatin’s smothering defense, but they managed to sink 5-of-9 free throws in the first half to at least make a mark on the scoreboard.

The Lady Panthers finished with three field goals in the third quarter and tallied only one lone free throw in the final eight minutes.

Salmon paced Gallatin with 12 points. Maxwell totaled 10 points and a team-high five rebounds.

Cox contributed nine points and

Gallatin JV Tourney set for Jan. 18 & 20 Gallatin’s junior varsity basketball squads won three of four games in recent action at home and on the road.

The junior varsity Lady Bulldogs fell to Trenton, 45-13, on Jan. 4 but turned it around on Polo to win, 32-1, last Friday night. Caragan Baker and Maelea Coulson led Gallatin with 10 points each.

The junior varsity boys defeated Trenton, 34-29, on the road last Thursday with Landon Corwin leading the way with 10 points.

Johnny Stout added eight points for the Bulldogs. The jayvee Bulldogs also defeated Polo last Friday, 30-17, in one half of action.

Corwin again led with 11 points.

Gallatin will host Maysville, South Harrison and Trenton teams in jayvee tournament action on Jan. 18 and 20. The tournament opens on Thursday with four games: South Harrison vs.

Trenton girls at 4:30 p.m.; South Harrison vs. Trenton boys at 5:45; Gallatin girls vs. Maysville at 7:00; and Gallatin boys vs. Maysville at 8:15.

Trophy games will be held on Saturday beginning with the girls’ third place contest at 10 a.m. and followed by the boys’ third place game at 11:15. The girls’ championship will be contested at 12:30 p.m. and boys’ championship to follow at 1:45.

four steals. Michael added eight points and four steals to the GHS victory total.

A fast and furious fourth quarter pace played into the hands of the Polo Panthers on Friday as they doubled up Gallatin in the final period to come away with a 57-46 GRC East Division victory.

The Panthers outscored the Bulldogs, 17-11 from the field down the stretch, and came away with a lead after a flurry of long-ball scoring. Six threepointers ripped the net in less than a minute of play.

Jett Simmons hit a three-pointer at the 6:18 mark of the fourth quarter, only to be answered four seconds later by a Panther trey from Jared Robison. Simmons sliced the net again from the arc seconds after that but Polo’s Jared Umbaugh answered with a 3-ball.

Gallatin’s last basket of the game was again a Simmons three-pointer with 5:39 left to play. Polo’s answering possession led to another Robison trey that again tied the game at 46-46.

The Panthers scored from the field on two of their next three possessions and added 5-of-6

from the foul line in the final two minutes.

The Bulldogs led, 100, off the opening tip but saw their lead shrink to 14-9 at the close of the first quarter. The Panthers grabbed a 26-23 lead with 32 seconds left in the first half but a Dylan Burns basket for Gallatin closed the gap to a single point at the break.

A pair of treys from Simmons and one from Gabe Cole pushed Gallatin to a short-lived, 35-30 lead by the middle of the third period. The Bulldogs failed to score in the final 4-plus minutes of the third which allowed the Panthers to knot the score at 35-35 heading into the final eight minutes of action.

CHAPTER ONE OF EIGHT

KALI:

A Polar Bear’s Tale

AUTHOR: CAROLYN MUELLER | ILLUSTRATOR: JEREMY PATTON & JAYNE BALLEW

Chapter One: The first thing Julie did was make the meatballs.

With gloved hands, she carefully rolled the raw beef into round blobs, between her palms. Next, she prepped the capelin, a small, silvery fish, taking handfuls from a container that had been carefully measured the day before. Frost and shiny scales stuck to her gloved fingers as she parceled out just the right amount. She added carrots and lettuce and a few handfuls of a dry, crumbly chow. Finally, there was cubed, butterysmooth, white lard.

It was time to feed the polar bear. Julie made her way through the gates to the shallow pool area of the polar bear habitat. There, she found Kali. All 1,100 pounds of him. The great white bear was splashing in the saltwater, playing with a few of his favorite toys and pouncing at the visitors.

As a zookeeper, Julie did this several times a day.

Her job was to take care of Kali, making sure he had everything he needed, including a healthy diet. She prepared meals for him, fed him, gave him toys and treats and new objects to interact with, trained him to open his mouth or show her his paws, among other behaviors, and even cleaned up after him. It was her job, but most days it felt more like her calling.

She watched Kali in his pool. She always marveled at his size and strength. Even though she saw him every day, she never truly got used to those dinnerplate-sized paws pressed up against the glass.

She began to unlock the enrichment chute; a long, narrow tube that leads directly to Kali’s pool, allowing her to safely offer him food.

“Are you going to feed him?” a little voice said.

A zookeeper with a bucket never gets far without attracting the attention of visitors.

“Yes,” Julie answered. “I’m just about to give him some food through the chute. Do you want to see?”

“Sure!” the little girl said.

Soon, a crowd gathered. Everyone wanted to meet the woman who took care of Kali.

“Before I feed him,” Julie said, “does anyone have any questions about Kali?”

“How did you get that bear?” a young boy asked.

“How did he even get in there? He’s so big!”

Julie laughed. “That’s a long story.”

The boy looked at her expectantly as a few more kids gathered around. Julie smiled and began to share Kali’s tale.

Ask Zoo Keeper Julie What do polar bears eat?

Polar bears are the largest land carnivores on Earth, but they are considered omnivores in that they will also feed on vegetation,bird eggs or even human dump sites when available.

What is a group of polar bears called?

A group of polar bears can be called a pack or a sleuth.
