Bizarre Foods ‘tastes’ Daviess County

M MM Think before you drink… Special effort the focus of enforcement operation in February Sometime during the month of February, Troop H of the Missouri State Highway Patrol, which includes Daviess County, will conduct DWI saturations in every county in the Troop H area.

Captain James E. McDonald, commanding officer of Troop H, announces that the areas selected for enforcement are based on a high number of drinkingrelated crashes, high number of contacts with drivers who have been drinking, and officers’ input as to probable contact with DWI violators.

“The Missouri State Highway

Patrol is dedicated to removing impaired drivers from Missouri roadways,” stated Captain McDonald. “Anytime your plans include alcohol, please have a sober designated driver.”

The only 100% survivable traffic crash is the one that never happens. Make sure everyone in the vehicle is properly restrained in a seat belt or child restraint.

Every day as we travel on Missouri’s roadways, we trust that every driver on the road is going to obey the speed limit, pay attention, and drive sober.

“Don’t Violate The Trust.”

State cost-share sign up starts Feb. 1

State cost-share sign up starts Thursday, Feb. 1, 2018, at the Soil & Water Conservation District Office (SWCD) located in the USDA Service Center Office in Gallatin. These funds are available July 1, 2018, through June 30, 2019.

Applications will only be accepted during the month of February. All landowners or operators will need a current landowner authorization form, which establishes land ownership, filled out before, or at the time of applying. Forms are available at the SWCD office.

All 2018 applications, except structure applications, will be cancelled June 30, 2018. The district board of supervisors has approved to maintain a continuous structure list. Structure applications that were signed up last year, and have not been denied, will stay on the structure list until they have been evaluated.

If you have any questions, please contact the office at 660-6633703, extension three, or stop by 209 Ash Street, Gallatin.

Candidates file for city, school spring elections The filing period for municipal and school board positions ended Jan. 16 for the April 3 election: The City of Gallatin has two positions for aldermen open — the position of West Ward Aldermen now held by Dan Lockridge and the position of East Ward Aldermen now held by John Whitfield. Both Lockridge and Whitfield have re-filed.

Daviess County Central 911 Board members John Sullenger, Joyce Eads and Todd Watson are all ending terms in office. All three re-filed for the three open positions.

Tri-County R-7 School Board has two openings for threeyear terms. Incumbents Heath Cook and Luke Skinner have re-filed.

North Daviess R-3 School Board has three openings; one will finish out a two-year term and the other two are

for three-year terms. Incumbents Amy McMahon and Paul Caven have re-filed for the three-year term and David Lainhart has filed to finish out the two-year term.

Gallatin R-5 School Board has two openings for threeyear terms. Pam Critten, along with incumbents Trenton Dowell and Jesse Bird have signed up for the election.

Winston R-6 School Board has two openings for threeyear terms. Trey Mullikin, Craig Vaughn and Becky Caldwell, along with incumbents John Muessig and Lisa Piburn have signed up for the election.

Pattonsburg R-2 School Board has two openings for three-year terms. Steve Pankau and Brian Teel and incumbent Lyle (Briggs) Hoover have signed up for election.

The first time they called, Daviess County Sheriff Ben Becerra thought it was a scam.

He’s used to getting complaints about phone scams. He ignored the call.

The second time they phoned, his wife Hope told him he might as well call back and get to the bottom of it. Why not?

Two fatally injured in vehicle accident after pursuit ends

Two people from St. Joseph were fatally injured and a third seriously injured in a one-vehicle accident that happened at about 3:22 p.m. on Jan. 19 in Daviess County.

According to the Missouri State Highway Patrol, Brent Murphy, 21, St. Joseph, was driving a 2003 Toyota Camry northbound on Hwy. 69. Within Winston city limits, he crossed the center line and ran off the south side of the roadway. The vehicle struck a tree and came to rest on the tree.

Mr. Murphy and a front seat passenger, Nicole Burleson, 37, St. Joseph, were both pronounced deceased at the scene at 4 p.m. by Daviess County Coroner David McWilliams.

An occupant in the vehicle, Devin Royle, 25, St. Joseph, was transported by Lifenet Air Ambulance to Truman Medical Center.

None of the occupants were wearing a seat belt.

The accident was investigated by Major Crash Investigation Unit Sgt. J.M. Toal and Cpl. P.M. Kimball, assisted by Lt. M.A. Ott, Sgt. J.S. Johnson, Sgt. T.L. Williams, Cpl. D.E. Sigman, Tpr. J.P. Lynch, Tpr. R.T. Carter, and Daviess County.

A spokesman for the patrol’s Troop H office said a report was received of a domestic violence incident occurring inside the vehicle, which at the time was traveling in the area on Interstate 35.

A trooper checked the vehicle going in excess of the posted speed limit and began a pursuit.

The chase moved off I-35 to Highway 69, with the trooper radioing that he was ending the pursuit after realizing the vehicles would be traveling inside the Winston city limits.

The trooper witnessed the crash happening once he broke off from the pursuit.

This episode of Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern airs at 8 p.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 30, on the Travel Channel.

Sheriff Becerra returned the call, and to his surprise, he found that an actual producer of the show Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern was on the line.

The Bizarre Foods crew had found Sheriff Becerra’s off-road ATV ranch on Facebook and they were interested in coming to the ranch. The second episode of the show’s 22nd season was following the Jesse James Trail.

Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern is a travel and cuisine television show on the Travel Channel in the United States. It focuses on regional cuisine from around the world which is typically perceived as being disgusting, exotic, or bizarre.

In each episode, Zimmern focuses on the cuisine of a particular country or region. He typically shows how the food is procured, where it is served, and, usually without hesitation, eats it.

So, on Oct. 26, 2017, Sheriff

Becerra and his family hosted Andrew Zimmern and his crew of about 15 members at South Big Creek Ranch at Lake Viking.

Zimmern and his crew were at Ben’s ranch from about noon until 9 p.m. They rode the trails, went bow hunting, and perhaps more importantly, they cooked a deer loin over the campfire at one of Ben’s cabins. Sadly, Zimmern didn’t bag the deer, but Ben already had one hanging!

Ben said that his mother, Joyce Becerra, then showed Zimmern how to cook the deer heart and liver, inside the cabin.

Ben thought his mother might have stolen the show, but that remains to be seen! Ben said that Zimmern also fished at Lake Viking, went pheasant hunting at a game reserve at Ridgeway, and viewed the squirrel cage jail at Gallatin with Trudi Burton.

Zimmern and his crew also ate Broken Arrow BBQ, prepared by Tim Carder, who regularly provides BBQ meals at Ben’s ranch.

Part of Zimmern’s crew came (continued on page 3 )

New store on Hwy. 190 offers big convenience for little town Clear Creek Convenience on Hwy. 190 in Lock Springs opened on Jan. 18 according to Rena Perkins, the owner’s mother.

The new store will offer beer, wine, liquor, tobacco, pop, snacks, and microwave sandwiches.

The shelves are still being stocked as vendors are contacted. Milk, eggs, bread, cheese, and other everyday essentials, will be available for the convenience of the local population.

“If there’s something our local customers request that we don’t have yet, we’ll try to get it for them,” Rena said.

The population of Lock Springs is only about 100 souls;

sometimes the location of the little hamlet is confusing to distributors and delivery drivers.

“I have to explain that we’re west of Chillicothe and south of Jamesport — then they want to know what county we’re in,” Rena laughs. “But we’ve had customers stop at the store every day, even before we opened.”

A few household and grocery items will also be carried. Ice will be available by summer.

The store is owned by Rena’s sons, Luke Perkins and Justin Perkins. Luke’s wife, Tisha Perkins, and Sara Wahlers will be tending the store. Hours are (continued on page 3 )

State Rep. J. Eggleston donates kidney for wife, helps others Rare 3-way trade involves anonymous couples, challenging time schedule to coordinate On Jan. 17, State Representative J. Eggleston underwent surgery to donate one of his kidneys for his wife, Cathie — but not directly to her.

Through the Kidney Paired Donation program, Rep. Eggleston’s kidney went to a patient in Michigan. The Michigan recipient has a friend who donated one of their kidneys to another recipient elsewhere in America, and that recipient has a friend who donated a kidney to Cathie.

The surgeries for both J. and Cathie went well.

Normally, to donate a kidney to a friend or family member, the donor and the recipient must have compatible blood chemistry or the recipient’s body will reject the kidney. While Rep. Eggleston wanted to donate directly to his wife, their blood chemistries were not compatible. Then kidney doctors told the Egglestons about the Kidney Paired Donation (KPD) program.

KPD increases the number of living donors by matching incompatible pairs like the Egglestons with opposite incompat-

ible pairs so the two pairs can share kidneys. Donor A gives to Recipient B, and Donor B gives to Recipient A. Only about 500 transplants each year in the U.S. are traded pairs coordinated through the KPD program. The Egglestons’ experience was even rarer in that it was a three-way trade.

“We are not allowed to know the names of the other patients involved,” Cathie Eggleston said. “All six participants have a right to privacy. But I would like to meet them someday so I can thank them for

saving my life.”

Participants can only learn the names of the other donors and recipients if all of them agree to share their identities.

“Because of some mail we received during the testing process, we believe one of the pairs is in Michigan, but we don’t know who they are or where the other pair lives,” Cathie said.

“I am glad I was healthy enough to donate a kidney to help Cathie,” said Rep. Eggleston. “And it’s even more special (continued on page 3 )

Money revolution

by Freida Marie Crump

Our roads need to be fixed Odd how the mind works.

Make the trip down to the city on I-35 in my pickup and you’re forced to endure a stretch of concrete that needs to be replaced.

Not fixed with yet another decking of asphalt, but torn out and replaced. Totally.

It’s not just the wallow that the big rigs rut into asphalt surfaces. It’s comparatively new concrete already buckling so that a pickup, depending upon its wheelbase, begins lurching up and down into a rhythm that resembles a small boat lifted and tossed by the waves.

What I’m trying to describe actually doesn’t last that long.

But the effect that stretch of highway has on my quad-cab pickup does crescendo enough to make one wonder if you’re ever going to get there. When traffic forces me to remain in the lane, the effect is hypnotic.

My mind is lulled into the relentless chant “I think I can, I think I can...” which eventually morphs into a more sinister “You get what you pay for... you get what you pay for... You get what you pay for....”

Sorry. But that’s how my mind works.

There’s no pleasant way to discuss this. Missouri’s transportation system needs more money. Notice the focus on a stretch of interstate which may attract the attention of many. How much more is the need to fix and maintain the crumbling blacktops and bridges in our rural, less populated areas. The neglect for proper financing is serious.

This means taxes.

There’s something to be said about Julie Andrews singing, “A spoon full of sugar helps the medicine go down...” But there’s

hardly anything sweet about paying more taxes.

Later, on that same trip to the city, I found myself sitting in a rather huge parking lot, waiting on my wife. The engine was idling to keep the heater going strong.

I looked down at the gas gauge, wondering if that habit would change if we voted to substantially increase the gas tax. Then I looked up to ponder something perhaps few others noticed.

There sat a car tethered to an electrical device. The parking spot was actually a charging station. Evidently, the car’s owner was getting a charge using a credit card buying stuff inside the store while the car was getting its charge just sitting there waiting. Like me. This got me thinking: What’s fair about a fuel tax with electric vehicles increasingly in the mix?

There is no perfect solution, of course. A higher gas tax always hits the poor and those on fixed incomes unfairly. High-mileage vehicles provide less revenue for road maintenance every year.

Who knows what the impact of automatic “driver-free” vehicles in the future will be? Yet, at least for now, funding highways and bridge projects with a fuel tax still makes the most sense.

I like the idea where users pay the costs; I particularly like the fuel tax dollars that out-of-state

About the digital divide

by Jordan Rasmussen

Despite the potential for broadband to modernize the economy in rural America, access and availability continue to lag. The President’s recent executive order affirmed this limitation and the need to commit resources to close rural America’s digital divide.

Yet, the ability to pinpoint where service is and is not available is fundamental to closing the digital divide in rural areas.

Under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, funding was allocated to establish a comprehensive nationwide map of existing broadband capability and availability.

Funding for this program ended

in 2014.

Some states, like Minnesota, have adopted legislation or maintained this degree of regulation which require internet service providers to provide access and speed availability data at a granular level.

However, reporting standards vary and often allow for telecommunication services to be reported at the census block level. In many rural areas, census blocks span entire counties, leaving room for error in reporting service availability.

The accuracy of data collected from internet service providers is an important tool used to determine where broadband (continued on page 3)

drivers contribute.

Tolls, vehicle registration fees, general fund spending — all deserve study. And now, I suppose, considering transportation taxes based on each vehicle’s odometer readings deserves study. That, at least, suggests one way to have electric cars pay a share of the tax burden.

But certainly, in the foreseeable future, no revenue source provides as much money as quickly as a gas tax.

Recently, a bipartisan task force recommended a 10-centper-gallon increase in the state’s gas tax. Diesel fuel would be taxed an additional 12 cents. The experts say this will generate an additional $430 million annually for road and bridge repair and upgrades — a little more than half of what the experts recognize as our real need. They estimate that a 10-cent gas increase will cost us an additional $78 a year if you fill up about once a week.

A 10-cent gas tax increase isn’t enough medicine to cure all our transportation ills. And, no, don’t count me among those singing for “A spoon full of sugar (to) help the medicine go down.”

The politicians like to sugarcoat tax proposals.

Too often the “sugar” involves new construction promises. For us out here in the tundra of the prairies, that always seems to mean the money goes where city traffic flows. Besides, new construction is such a treadmill — expanding our transportation system while perpetually unable (or unwilling) to take care of what we’ve got.

Phasing in a tax increase is another sweetener. Legislators know it’s tough getting reelected when taxes increase. But phasing in a gas tax — say a nickel every five years — just kicks maintenance problems down the road. And borrowing isn’t the answer. I read where Missouri already pays $280 million a year in interest on road bonds issued in previous years.

So, it makes sense to let voters decide. That may happen some future election day. So, before you settle into an opinion, please keep these few facts in mind: Missouri’s current gas tax (17-cents a gallon) was set in 1996. It now ranks 47th in the nation. Because of inflation, it provides less than half the purchasing power it did in the mid-1990s.

The medicine is not all that expensive. We don’t need a spoon full of sugar. We need our roads to be fixed.

Greetings from Poosey.

I had just settled down for a long winter’s nap when I heard it. Ding! Ding! Ding! Clank! Although it’s a sound I’ve been hearing ever since our marriage, it still raises my hackles and sends spikes of irritation up and down my spine. Is it too much to ask a man to take the change out of his pockets before he throws his pants into the washer? Is this a great imposition on his busy day of drinking coffee and couch napping? Every time I wash Herb’s clothes without checking the pockets it sounds like a drive-by shooting when I start up the drier.

Herb’s one of those “change hoarders.” When buying something he never thinks to reach in his pocket for change, choosing instead to use paper bills for everything as the metal builds up in his pocket. If he didn’t wear suspenders he’d loose his drawers and the store clerk would lose her composure.

I thought of all this when I attended a meeting of our local NAG (National Aging Group). Our president opened the meeting with the question, “Is cash dead?” She went on to read about a coffee shop in Oregon that no longer accepts cash and then went on to read a list of national chains that are considering going to electronic payments only. Many banks in Sweden no longer have cash on hand; 92% of American adults will have made a digital payment this year.

It put me to mind of a little excursion I took over Christmas. Some nephews were visiting for the holidays and our little tribe spent a day nosing around the local mall, piddling through a few coffee shops and generally bonding in the good old American way... buying things. My soul mate for the day was a young man named Cory, tall and deliberate, tech savvy in every way, and seemingly the very model of what our nation is becoming. When he bought our coffee he simply flashed his phone, he paid for our parking electronically, one swish of his device bought us lunch. Not once did Cory bring a coin or bill out of his pocket or even so much as display a credit card. I asked him if he carried cash at all. He said, “Oh, sometimes. Sometimes I’ll run into someone who only takes cash.” His tone seemed to be describing someone who still used an outdoor privy.

Visa offered restaurants $10,000 if they’d switch to non-cash.

Guess who’ll win on that deal. Many toll roads in the U.S. now feature fast lanes for those with the proper digital tag while the old-timers paying in cash must pull to the right and wait in line.

I’ve always promised myself that I’d never become one of those stick-in-the-mud naysayers who immediately rise up against any new idea. I still have a memory of old farmers who believed that unhooking a horse from the plow to be replaced by a tractor was sacrilege, but I wonder if maybe we’re rushing into this. According to the FDIC, nearly 16 million American adults don’t have a bank to use. What happens when the Mom and Pop shops are forced to give up five percent of their profit to credit card companies? How can you tip your waitress and make sure that she gets it? Will the homeless guy on the street have a card reader?

The proponents of a cashless society claim that digital payment and banking is safer, more efficient, saves thousands of dollars in transferring money from one place to another, and saves time. Perhaps they’ve never stood with me behind a wellhealed lady who swipes her card, swipes it again, waits for the next screen to come up, pokes in whether she wants cash back (why would she want cash if she’s using plastic?), confirming that the amount is correct, then fingering in her private banking number. And between each phase of this “streamlined” process we all wait for the little machine to okay the next move. Sorry, but I can stand in the next line, hand the checker a twenty, get change back and be in my car while Digital Doris is still poking in numbers.

The newest development in this headlong rush to a society without cash is called the biometric ID, whereby the machine will scan your fingers or eyes or even your heartbeat signature.

Of course, the digital money revolution won’t solve the problem of Herb leaving the change in his pockets unless I stuff him in the dryer for a couple of revolutions of his own.

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

Kidney transplant (continued from page 1 ) knowing my donation helped two other people in need as well.

“I am also grateful for the KPD program that made this three-way swap possible. Without it, Cathie would have soon needed dialysis since her kidney function was down to just 15%.

People don’t last long once they go on dialysis.”

Doctors have said the Egglestons will leave the hospital next week to recuperate. Cathie will need six weeks to get back to full strength.

J. will need three weeks, and hopes to return to the capitol in Jefferson City to resume the 2018 legislative session the first week of February. Until then, he plans to listen to the floor debate over the internet, and engage with his colleagues and staff via email and phone.

Each year, about 18,000 people receive a kidney transplant in the United States, with 12,000 of those receiving from a deceased donor who elected to be an organ donor on their driver’s license.

The other 6,000 receive from a friend donating one of their live kidneys to save the life of their loved one.

Living-donation kidneys tend to have fewer rejections and last longer than deceased-donation kidneys. Sadly, about 100,000 people are on the waiting list for a new kidney. Many of them are on kidney dialysis, which will prolong their life about five years, but eventually most will succumb to the disease if they do not receive a transplant. The KPD program gives new opportunities for more living donors, saving more lives from kidney disease.

One interesting fact about kidney donation is the recipient does not have a kidney replaced, they have a kidney added. The original kidneys usually still have some functionality, and there is less opportunity for complications if no kidney is removed.

Like most recipients, Cathie now has three kidneys. A few recipients who have their new kidney wear out sometimes get another transplant later in life and so

have four kidneys.

Another interesting fact is that for the three-way kidney trade involving the Egglestons to take place, six different patients and six different surgical teams in three different hospitals across the country had to coordinate the surgeries to occur at the same time.

The donors went into surgery and had their kidneys removed at about 5 a.m. (Central). The kidneys were then packed in ice and flown to the destination hospitals and implanted in the recipients at about 2 p.m. the same day.

If anyone involved had gotten the flu, if there was inclement weather that might have impeded the air travel of a kidney, or if a donor had gotten cold feet and backed out at the last minute, all of the surgeries would have been cancelled.

Cathie is on www.facebook. com/1500248490052325 while J. can be reached at www.facebook. com/JEgglestonStateRep. To learn more about the KPD program, visit www.unos.org/donation.

Bizarre Foods show (continued from page 1 ) about a week before the show was filmed, to scope it out and lay the plans for the shoot. Ben said that secrecy was very important, and he was required to sign nondisclosure and confidentiality agreements. Zimmern’s crew included cameramen, technicians, lighting crew … and a bodyguard armed with a rifle and long hunting knife. Evidently, through the years, Zimmern has received some death threats and takes no chances … even when he’s hanging out with the local sheriff!

This episode of Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern is scheduled to air at 8 p.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 30, on the Travel Channel.

Online, the description of this particular episode says: “Andrew Zimmern eats rotten tomato ketchup, confederate biscuits and ham cake while on the Jesse James trail; he devours crappie ceviche, stewed rabbit, pan-fried pheasant breast, and venison prepared four different ways.”

For the 23 million rural Americans who do not have broadband speed access, census block data is not sufficient to recognize and address the broadband gap.

A Polar Bear’s Tale

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

Chapter Three: James wiggled through the den’s small opening into a larger chamber. Snuggled in the back, he saw a tiny, white, male bear cub.

At birth, nearly four months earlier, he weighed just two pounds and was a helpless, blind, and almost hairless little creature. After months of nursing his mother’s rich milk, he’d grown to a roly poly 18 pounds. His eyes were wide open, and a fuzzy, white coat covered his body.

When the men arrived in Point Lay, the villagers were quite surprised by a polar bear cub. “Let’s take him to the Police Hall, where he’ll be warm and comfortable,” James said. The North Slope Borough, the government entity responsible for much of Northern Alaska, was contacted. The government biologists made fast arrangements for the little cub to be flown to the larger town of Barrow the next day.

“He needs a name,” James’ friend said. “Before he leaves Point Lay.”

Do polar bears eat penguins?

Polar bears are only found in the Northern hemisphere/polar region, while penguins are only found in the Southern hemisphere. Polar bears and penguins do not live together.

“I’m not going to hurt you. I’m going to take you home,” James said. “Just don’t bite me.”

James scooped the cub up, holding him tight.

He moved quickly, pulling the tiny cub out of the den’s warmth and into the cold. Wrapped in James’ arms, the little bear blinked in the weak, Arctic sunlight.

James mounted his snowmobile, cradling the polar bear cub like a puppy. The two men zoomed across the ice. James soon realized the 40 miles to Point Lay was too far for the small cub. His fat reserves were not enough to protect him from the wind chill.

They drove across the tundra and soon pulled up to a hunting cabin. Inside, James found a pair of ski pants.

The men tied the legs of the pants together to create a pouch just big enough for a polar bear cub. Snuggled in the windproof polyester, up against James’ chest, the cub would be warm enough to make it through the journey. Now sheltered from the wind, the bear dozed as the snowmobile roared across the landscape.

How many polar bears are there?

It is believed there are about 20,000-25,000 polar bears in the wild. Rapid loss of sea ice is the primary threat to the stability of polar bear populations.

Farmers’ Electric 55th essay contest Sophomores and juniors from area high schools have the opportunity to win all-expense paid trips this summer. Members of the junior class will be competing to win one of two trips to Washington D.C. Three sophomores will win trips to the Cooperative Youth Conference and Leadership Experience (C.Y.C.L.E.) in Jefferson City. Youth tour will be held June 8-14, while the C.Y.C.L.E. program will be July 18-20.

The essay contest is open to all sophomores and juniors attending a high school located within the service area of Farmers’ Electric Cooperative (Caldwell, Carroll, Chariton, Clinton, Daviess, Dekalb, Livingston, Linn or Ray counties). You do not have to be a member of the cooperative in order to participate.

Children of co-op employees and directors are not eligible to participate in the contest.

Sophomore and junior class English and history instructors received essay contest guidelines and entry forms in the mail in December. Essay informa-

Keegan Allen and Ross Critten take titles in tough Brookfield Tournament Gallatin wrestlers got the opportunity to test themselves against some of the best wrestlers in the state on Saturday and they did not disappoint.

Keegan Allen and Ross Critten exited Saturday’s Brookfield Tournament with first place medals, leading eight Gallatin Bulldogs who claimed at least a fourth place finish in the 15-team event. The round robin tournament featured at least 20 wrestlers ranked in Missouri Class 1.

Gallatin entered the competition as the #6 ranked team in Class 1. Marceline (#4), Brookfield (#8) and Warsaw (#11) also participated in Saturday’s event. The Bulldogs also entered Saturday’s competition with five individual wrestlers ranked among the state’s best in Class 1.

Allen maintains a #3 ranking in the 106-pound weight division, even before his 5-win and championship showing on Saturday.

Allen’s championship victory came by way of a 4-2 decision over #4 ranked Keegan Wright of Marceline.

Ross Critten remains unbeaten and ranked #1 in the 113-pound class. He also won all five matches over the weekend, defeating two of the top five wrestlers in Class 1 in the process.

Drayton Harris finished 4-1 and in second place in Saturday’s 138-pound competition.

Harris, ranked #5 in his class, lost only to #2 ranked Clayton Stallo of Marceline.

Caleb Boyd was one of four ranked wrestlers in Saturday’s 145-pound class. Boyd split matches against co-honorable mention ranked opponents. One of his losses came against Kolby Estes, the #1 ranked wrestler from Warsaw.

Rian Critten placed second in

the 132-pound class, winning his first four matches before falling to #3 ranked Dallas Larsen of Warsaw.

Ayden Wayne finished fourth in the 120-pound class with a 2-3 record on the day. Two of his losses came against stateranked opponents.

Jacob Maize also placed fourth in the 132-pound class with a 2-3 record and a pair of losses coming at the hands of state-ranked wrestlers.

Tom Crouse pulled a tough assignment in the 160-pound class.

Two of his three losses came to a pair of honorable mention, state-ranked opponents. Crouse took the fifth place spot by way of a medal forfeit from #3 ranked Rylan Chrisman of Marceline.

Gage Wright won three straight matches in the 170-pound class before dropping his final two.

His 3-2 record was good for second place.

Three Bulldog wrestlers, Cody Arnold, Caleb Agcopra and Jordan France, were grouped in B Pool competition. Arnold placed second in the 182B class with a 4-1 record. Agcopra was fifth in the 132B class with a 1-4 mark.

France competed in the 152B class and finished with a 1-4 record.

Gallatin wrestlers swept all three duals last Thursday night at Cameron High School. The Bulldogs defeated Cameron’s jayvee squad, 52-24, beat Kansas City East, 60-9, and rolled over Rock Port, 60-18.

Only two Bulldogs got the chance to wrestle in action against Rock Port. Rian Critten pinned Gabriel Abbott and Jordan France lost by fall to Blue Jay Austin Stoner.

Aubrey Feiden signs softball pact with Culver-Stockton Gallatin R-5 senior Aubrey Feiden signed last Thursday to play softball next season at Culver-Stockton College in Canton, Mo., where she will major in elementary education.

Feiden is a two-time All-Grand River Conference and All-District 12 second baseman. She batted .362 this past season for the Lady Bulldogs and struck out only four times in 80 plate appearances. She committed eight errors in 66 chances in the field.

“Academically, she’s such a strong student, and it’s important to be successful in the classroom,” said Culver-Stockton Head Coach Jordan Bastion, who was present at Thursday’s signing. “Before her visit, I had already noticed her in the game

they played here,” Coach Bastion said of Gallatin’s high school playoff game against Canton in October. “She has speed and athletic ability and when you put two and two together, academics and athleticism, we’re really excited about adding her to our roster.”

Culver-Stockton plays in the Heart of America Athletic Conference. The Lady Wildcats won 58 games over the last two seasons under Coach Bastion.

Aubrey was joined for last week’s signing ceremony by her parents, Chris and Terri Feiden (front row), former GHS softball coach Chad Sullenger, current head coach Courtney Ray, and Coach Bastion.

GHS Bulldogs split at S Harrison Gallatin varsity basketball teams could only come away with a split in Grand River Conference games at South Harrison on Friday night. The GHS Lady Bulldogs were easy winners, 71-32, but the red and black Bulldog boys fell behind early and wound up on the wrong end of a 65-52 decision.

Gallatin’s girls scored 27 of the game’s 31 points in the second quarter to pull away from their

Bulldog counterparts. Karley Salmon, Courtney Shubert, Janee Filbeck and Cora Stout combined to hit 8 of 8 field goals to kick off the quarter and Aubrey Feiden and Briar Roll chipped in baskets as part of Gallatin’s 27-point effort.

A 12-5 start in the final period stretched the GHS lead to 54-17 with just under five minutes remaining in the game. ontin e on age

mark of the second period but her team would add only four points more up to the break.

The Lady Bobcats extended their lead to 28-16 early in the third quarter but Gallatin rallied behind a Hayley Michael trey and buckets by Kelsey Maxwell, Cora Stout and Karley Salmon.

Gallatin opened the fourth quarter with a Salmon 3-ball and Michael layup off a Courtney Shubert steal and assist. Maxwell muscled in a shot underneath to tie the game at 31-31 but Kelsey Stone answered with a trey to put the Lady Bobcats back in front.

Gallatin chipped away at a 3731 deficit, beginning with a pair of Cox free throws. Maxwell buried a 12-foot shot on the baseline to close the gap to 38-37 but Stone again answered with a trey from the wing. Salmon’s three-pointer on the other end made it a one point game but Stone, absent in the two teams’ meeting back in the Gallatin Tournament, nailed a two-pointer for the Lady Cats.

Trailing by just one possession, 45-42, Gallatin shooters at the foul line missed four consecutive tries inside the final 1:40.

Braymer fared a little better in the closing moments, cashing in on only 2-of-5 attempts from the stripe, but those two successful free throws made it a two-possession game in the final seconds.

Salmon, who led her team with 17 points, hit a shot ahead of the buzzer to account for the final 49-46 margin. Maxwell finished with 11 for the Lady Bulldogs, who combined to shoot 36% from the field and 30% from the foul line.

The Bulldogs led early on, 155, and trailed by only two points at the half, but the Hornets got their bearings in the second half and went on a 42-29 scoring surge.

Gallatin worked for a 5-0 lead off the tip on a trey by Jett Simmons and two-pointer from Aidan Adkison. A second 3-ball from Simmons, bucket and free throw from Colin Beck set the Dogs up, 11-2, with three minutes left in the first period.

Hamilton finished the first half on a 16-8 run to take the lead. The Bulldogs trailed by as many as 13 points and by as few as seven late in the third period. A Simmons trey and Beck chip shot closed the gap to 51-46 with 6:43 to play. Simmons, Adkison, Beck and Tristen Gibson contributed Bulldogs buckets the rest of the way.

Simmons finished with 24 points on 47% overall shooting. Beck added 13 points and grabbed nine of his team’s 19 rebounds, including eight on the defensive end.

Following this week’s Hamilton Tournament, Gallatin teams resume GRC play at Milan next Tuesday.

Gallatin FFA receives BOAC grant The Gallatin FFA Chapter is among the recipients of this year’s Building Our American Communities (BOAC) grant.

Each year, the BOAC Grant Program provides grants to Missouri 4-H clubs and FFA chapters for projects aimed at developing and advancing Missouri’s rural communities. Projects may include improvements to existing facilities, grounds, or buildings used by local organizations in the applicant’s community. Past BOAC grant projects have included improvements for local fairgrounds, commu-

nity vegetable gardens, rural intersections and parks, as well as renovations for damaged and aged public use structures in rural communities, including those used by local 4-H and FFA groups. The Gallatin Chapter plans on building five picnic tables to be placed in Dockery Park.

BOAC grants of up to $500 have been awarded to 11 Missouri 4-H clubs and 11 FFA chapters to support projects that benefit an agricultural community and/ or promote community development.

National Honor Society students within the Gallatin High School, serving as Autism Awareness Ambassadors, are asking that local Gallatin businesses participate in raising awareness for autism and to help its residents become better educated about this developmental disorder.

The NHS student ambassadors are hopeful that this awareness will lead to greater acceptance and understanding of individuals with autism and help children to be diagnosed and treated at an early age. Autism affects one in 68 children and one in 42 boys.

The City of Gallatin will be declaring April as Autism Awareness Month, and the ambassadors would like to “light up the courthouse blue.”

In addition, they invite individuals and businesses to participate as sponsors for their autism awareness t-shirt sales.

If you would like to sponsor the event, there are various levels of sponsorship available. Size and

P attonsb urg students take ‘ responsib ility’

placement of logos and business names will be based on sponsorship level. T-shirts will go on sale to all students, teachers, and community members on Feb. 2 and the ambassador students will collect orders until March 2.

T-shirts will be distributed before April 1 so that they can be worn throughout the entire month. In the school district, Fridays in April will be designated as Autism Awareness Days and everyone participates by wearing their t-shirts. In addition, many individuals will choose to wear their t-shirts even more often throughout the month and continue to wear them throughout the entire year.

Proceeds from shirt sales go right back into the Autism Awareness campaign and into programs and service projects to directly benefit the community.

Please contact the Gallatin National Honor Society Autism Awareness Ambassadors if you would like to sponsor or donate to the event.

Bulldog teams on consolation side of Hamilton bracket

Tuesday night proved to be an agonizing one for Gallatin basketball teams at the Hamilton Invitational Tournament, and the #3 seed proved to be the jinx on both sides of the bracket.

Gallatin’s #3 seeded girls stumbled on their way to a rematch against Hamilton in Thursday night’s semifinal round, falling to #6 Braymer in an upset, 4946. The Lady Bulldogs came out flat Tuesday night and turned in an uneven performance that put them in today’s (Wednesday) 4:30 p.m. consolation semifinal against #7 Richmond.

One night earlier, Richmond’s #3 boys dropped their tournament opener to #6 Trenton in what was a rematch of a Lawson Tournament contest that ended in Richmond’s favor.

Both girls’ teams suffered sluggish starts Tuesday night.

Gallatin led, 7-5, after the first quarter but slipped in the hole, 24-16, by half time. Megan Cox’s three-pointer gave the Lady Bulldogs a 12-7 lead at the 6:26

How Missouri teacher salaries rank

For first-year Missouri teachers, there is a $19,163 difference between the highest paying district and districts paying the statemandated minimum starting salary ($25,000 for teachers with a bachelor’s degree), according to an annual report featuring data from 100% of the state’s public school districts.

The 2017-2018 MSTA Missouri Salary Schedule and Benefits Report offers a clear picture of salaries for Missouri teachers. Again, this year, all 518 school districts responded to the survey. Participating districts completed a salary questionnaire and supplied a copy of the district’s salary schedule to the MSTA Salary and Research Department.

H o w do es D avi es s C o unt y R ank ?

The average minimum and maximum salary for Daviess County teachers with a bachelor’s degree is $28, 875 - $37,657, with the maximum for a bachelor’s “plus” (additional college hours) at $41,266.

Teachers with a master’s degree earn on average between $32,284 and $43,754, and those with additional education (holding a specialist or doctorate degree) set at a maximum of $45,925.

“Our annual research shows that although Missouri teachers are making small gains in salaries, they are still making less than teachers nationwide,” said MSTA Executive Director Bruce Moe. “Missouri teachers make more than $9,000 less than the national average.”

MSTA members are working to overcome this trend. At its annual convention in November, MSTA delegates again adopted resolutions prioritizing educator salaries. MSTA supports a minimum statewide salary schedule.

MSTA also supports an annual equitable salary increment for additional years of service and additional education experience and recognition of teachers’ actual years of experience for salary schedule advancement and placement.

Bundles of love made the holidays bright This Christmas, FBLA and Bright Futures of Gallatin joined together to create Bundles of Love. The two organizations set up a booth in the Daviess County Courthouse during Christmas on the Square.

A Christmas tree was decorated with numbered ornaments to allow the community to adopt a child for the holidays. Each ornament corresponded to a child in the Backpack Buddies program, for a total of 65.

The Bundles of Love project also collected monetary donations, raising $1,800 to prepare food baskets for a Christmas

dinner. These baskets included a turkey, stuffing, green beans, potatoes, gravy, pumpkin pie, and homemade cookies made by the Gallatin FBLA chapter.

Various sizes of baskets were offered based on family size, including 10 small, nine medium, and six large baskets.

Gallatin FBLA Chapter would like to express its appreciation to Bright Futures Gallatin, Dungy’s Supermarket, and each community member that participated, for their contributions to Bundles of Love, and for helping make the holidays a little brighter for those in need.

Mr. Lockridge gave insight on how much out-of-pocket expenses may be and what insurance may not cover. Mr. Lockridge informed the group of useful actions that could be taken to improve the possibility of defense in case of incidents, and also what individuals need to be informed about when they have renter’s insurance.

Mr. Lockridge and Mrs. Burns showed the significance behind insurance by relating it to real life possibilities and numbers.

Insurance is a part of the adult world, so informing those in between the ages of 17-19 will benefit them and help in their futures.

The goal is that students will take this knowledge with them when they venture out into the world on their own after graduation.
