Future of local VFW post teeters

Clues to be on cue

For the past 85 years the Gallatin community has been enriched by military veterans who banded together through Frank Frazier Post #2172 of the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW). The future of this organization is now in jeopardy.

Active membership in the local VFW post has waned, making decisions to be made at the next post meeting crucial. A quorum of members necessary to continue operations must assemble or longtime VFW members say the Frank Frazier Post may dissolve, leaving Daviess County with no active VFW unit.

This pivotal meeting will be held at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 11, in Gallatin’s older fire station located west of the business square at the end of Jackson Street.

Gallatin’s VFW post is named after Francis V. Frazier, the first name listed on the ledger of 10 soldiers from Daviess County who sacrificed their lives for the cause of freedom during World War I. The VFW is the oldest major war veterans organization. For 85 years the local VFW unit has fostered camaraderie among U.S. veterans of over-

seas conflicts. Local post members not only advocated and worked to assure that veterans received their earned entitlements but also promoted respect for our country, especially recognizing the sacrifices that military men and women and their loved ones have made on behalf of this great country.

Post #2172 currently shows a membership of about 45 veterans, with approximately 30 veterans signed as lifetime members. But the roll endured a precipitous drop from nearly 70 members in recent times due to residency changes (i.e. retirements out of state and to nursing homes) and deaths.

There are still perhaps 100 or more veterans eligible for membership in the local VFW post. But younger veterans of military service rendered in the Gulf War, Afghanistan and other conflicts since Vietnam have not responded.

The majority of local VFW members are age 70 or older. Few if any members regularly attend meetings scheduled for the second Thursday monthly.

The post has been unable to fill recent requests (continued on page 13)

Badgers are squat, powerful, animals two to threefeet long and weighing up to 30 pounds. They have long claws on strong front legs used for tunneling burrows or for digging up prey such as mice or ground squirrels.

Badgers feed primarily on rodents and rabbits. They need habitat where their food prey is present and where they can easily dig in soil for burrows and to catch prey. The prairie, woodland, and river breaks habitats in the western, northwest, and northeastern regions of the state are where they were historically most common, and where they are usually spotted today.

Badgers can run 15 mph, swim capably, or dig a burrow

How do you tell the Amish from the Mennonites or the Old Order Amish from the New Order Amish? How do you tell Horse and Buggy Mennonites from Holerman Mennonites? How do you tell Hutterites from everybody else?

It’s not that easy, but there are a few clues to go by.

Old Order Amish

Old Order Amish have two distinct characteristics: They drive horse and buggy and they use Pennsylvania German in church services and everyday language.

Old Order Amish children attend school only to the eighth grade. They take turns meeting in member’s homes for church. The Amish follow simple customs and refuse to take oaths, vote, or perform military service. They shun modern technology and conveniences and reject radio, television, computers and electricity. Their clothing is plain. The men usually wear beards.

The women usually wear solid white or black head coverings and plain dresses, usually without buttons — they use straight pins to fasten the clothing.

Horse and Buggy Mennonites

It’s easy to get mixed up when it comes to the Mennonites. Across the country there are many different customs and cultures among the Mennonites. There are two types of Mennonites in our general vicinity. The Mennonites that live on Highway M in the southeast corner of Daviess County are called Horse and Buggy Mennonites.

Horse and Buggy Mennonites are as conservative as the Old Order Amish in Jamesport. The two groups are very much alike.

Both, obviously, drive horse and buggy. They also both dress plainly and don’t have electricity, radio or TV or computers.

However, there are key differences: the Mennonites speak English and hold church in meeting houses.

Unlike the Amish, the Mennonite men do not wear beards. Mennonite women typically wear dresses with patterns and designs, in contrast to the plain fabrics of Amish women. The Highway M Mennonites also ride bicycles, while the Amish sometimes drive small carts pulled by ponies.

The Mennonite family on Highway M raises and sells produce in the summer and has cattle. They do carpentry and construction work and are establishing small businesses in the future, including metal, cabinet making, and a saw mill.

Holerman Mennonites.

The Mennonites who live in Jamesport are called Holerman Mennonites and are more progressive. They drive cars, dress

A risk worth taking

by Freida Marie Crump

Do old soldiers fade away?

Should VFW Post #2172 dissolve?

It’s with sadness that we must thrust public focus on the future of VFW Frazier Post #2172. Will it continue? In some respects, it seems like that train has already left the station.

Maybe there will be a positive response to the call for membership to continue the 85-year tradition which would make such questions moot. That’s first choice. Realistically, a positive response is more likely to be reorganization under a different name with broader membership criteria and potential. That’s what is happening across the country.

What’s likely, however, is a quiet lapse where the local VFW post slips into memory.

The military ballad made famous by General Douglas MacArthur’s speech before the joint session of Congress on April 19, 1951 (after his abrupt dismissal as Commander in Chief of the United Nations forces in Korea) comes to mind: “Old soldiers never die; they just fade away.”

In my view, the VFW’s mission is to fight against that notion of soldiers just fading away. It is

a noble fight. I am reminded of this every time I salute when the color guard passes or when rifles and taps mark military honors at a funeral. It’s a respect I find hard to put into words.

Off the Editor’s Spike...

by Darryl Wilkinson

Every local organization, at some time or other, questions the expense in supporting the “overhead” of state and national structure. Membership dues seem to become a burden when membership slips. Attracting new members becomes harder when dues are significant.

This isn’t a reality just for VFW but for lots of other organizations like Rotary Club and Lions International. The temptation is to veer off into their own direction, even at risk of oblivion.

But it can work. What began as the Jaycees became the Gallatin Men’s Club.

Keeping money local is a natural, though limiting, inclination.

VFW members have worked hard to accumulate the money in the post’s bank accounts. You probably recall as I do how frequently VFW members worked poker runs, raffles, or sold ice cream at local festivals. But, as frequently is the case, the real measure is not money.

Sometimes VFW services go unnoticed. The local post has provided rides for veterans and their families to doctor appointments, frequently to Kansas City hospitals. The post has also paid for health care items like crutches and wheelchairs.

There’s no easy way to chronicle all the visits to nursing homes and to the Veterans Home at Cameron where the camaraderie among “brothers” is most appreciated and needed. Besides donating socks and Christmas gift items the veterans shared friendship.

But, frankly, most of us probably think of the VFW first as the color guard for a parade or in organizing services for Memorial Day and, perhaps especially, in presenting military honors at

Proposition D proposes fuel tax Editor’s note: This is the third in a series of reports on the upcoming November ballot measures, and this one on Proposition D is about the gas tax.

by State Rep. J. Eggleston

Currently, 17 cents of every gallon of gas and diesel you buy is state fuel tax collected for MoDOT, and an additional 18.4 cents (24.4 cents for diesel) goes to the federal government. For now, the feds provide a 4-to-1 match on some of this state money, giving us back what we put into the federal gas tax and then some.

All of this, plus license and other fees, generate the $2.46 billion dollars that MoDOT currently spends each year on our roads, bridges, river ports, rail, airports, sidewalks, bicycle paths, and Highway Patrol. About 1/6th of that ($422 million) is given to city and county governments for their local projects.

Passing Prop D would increase the state fuel tax from 17 cents to 27 cents per gallon incrementally over four years.

This additional dime per gallon is expected to raise an extra $288 million for MoDOT and $124 million for local governments. For

a variety of factors, this amount would not likely produce any additional money from the feds.

You may hear something about the Highway Patrol associated with Prop D. The Highway Patrol is funded with fuel tax money. Prop D would earmark the money generated by the extra 10 cents per gallon to directly fund the Highway Patrol, thereby freeing up money that used to go to the Highway Patrol to be used

by MoDOT. The Patrol would see little change in their funding.

You may also hear something about Olympic medals. The passage of Prop D would say that Missourians who win medals or prizes in the various Olympic games would not have to pay income tax on those awards. This was actually the purpose of the bill (HB1460) that put Prop D on the ballot. The bill was not originally intended to be a ballot measure or have anything to do with fuel taxes. A St. Louis area senator added that provision to the bill as a last minute amendment.

Also added would be the creation of the Emergency State

Freight Bottleneck Fund, which would fund projects like widening I-70 between Kansas City and St. Louis. The money for this fund would likely come from general revenue, not the fuel tax.

A group called SaferMo.com has started to advertise for Prop D. This group has raised over $1.4 million, mostly from the construction companies that hope to profit from the infrastructure work, to promote the passage of Prop D. You can expect to start seeing advertisements funded from SaferMo.com soon. Several state and local government officials are also in favor of Prop D since it would help fund their transportation ideas and needs.

A couple years ago, a sales tax proposal for transportation failed at the ballot, but that may have been because it was a sales tax and not a fuel tax. Most agree that fuel taxes are a better way to fund roads than sales taxes or other mechanisms. But ultimately, Prop D will likely pass or fail depending on whether voters trust that they will receive improved roads for their money.

Greetings from Poosey.

The congregation turned and looked at us and at once I was swept up in a horrible memory from my childhood. It was Christmas Eve in our little church and the preacher had asked the lead trumpet player from the Greater Poosey Area Marching Corps Semi-Symphonic Band to perform. Jimmy had chosen “Oh Holy Night,” a fairly hot item in the Presbyterian list of greatest hits and the kid just nailed it flat. Beautiful. I was five years old, I was excited, I was joyous, and so I stood and clapped. Boing. Two sins at once as far as our flock was concerned. You didn’t stand unbidden and you never, ever clapped. If Jimmy had played this magnificent piece in school we’d have clapped; if he’d gone out into the street and tooted his horn this well we’d have clapped, but once he entered under the steeple this sort of appreciation was frowned upon.

So, when the same thing happened to me last week while visiting another congregation I not only felt embarrassed, I felt five years old.

I can also remember the day a much younger me was naïve enough to ask a pastor why we didn’t clap in his church.

He said, “There’s a difference between a time of worship and a Las Vegas lounge show.” I was dumb enough to respond, “Yeah, the Las Vegas show is more fun.” Wrong answer.

I guess that maybe the church world is divided into clappers and non-clappers and both points of view have their adherents. Herb and I were in the Ozarks on Sunday and decided to visit a church titled “The Church of God,” figuring that should just about cover all the bases. We could hear the clapping as we got out of the car and the service hadn’t even started. Then everything in the service got a round of applause ...the prelude, every hymn, every prayer ...even the sermon. They were one bunch of red-hot clappers.

And you can’t really say that this denomination does it this way while the other denomination always does it in that manner. It seems to be more regional, perhaps even attuned to the tone of the community. A Presbyterian Church in Boston might frown mightily on hand clapping while their sister congregation in Atlanta might encourage it and in fact look at you strangely if you don’t join in the clapping spirit.

I’ve only found one mainline denomination that’s instituted a clapping policy: “Hand clapping as an act of worship is not revealed in the New Testament. Therefore in order to please God, we must leave it out of worship! It will result in one’s being kept out of the Holy City.” Wow. I think this means that clappers go straight to hell. I think I’ll not applaud that.

I have a friend who’s a church organist and has a very impassioned slant on the matter. She told me, “Are tears inappropriate at a funeral? Are verbal compliments inappropriate for a well-presented sermon? If all the glory goes to God then maybe he should do my practicing for me. Sorry, that was disrespectful, but it’s the encouragement from the congregation that makes me go those lonely hours rehearsing. This isn’t making a beautiful quilt that will stay there for hundreds of years. These are notes that I throw into the air and then they’re gone. Appreciation is nice.” Well, either this lady has got it right or she’s headed straight to hell, but the old rumor has it that Satan already has too many musicians.

My mother told me I was there for this particular funeral but my knowledge of the details comes most from her. Frank Delevan was neighbor to my grandparents and the day he was killed in a farm accident was one of the saddest our community had ever experienced.

Along with being a farmer, Frank was a fiddler and fine fiddler at that. Every Saturday night would find him down at the Legion hall twanging out “Flop-eared Mule,” or “Mississippi Sawyer.” And one of the great delights of his life was watching his granddaughter Elly take up the fiddle and try her best to play along with her granddad.

Frank would stomp that big, leathered boot up and down so she could feel the beat right through the floor. At the end of Frank’s final services Elly stood before our mournful crowd and played “Ragtime Annie” for her grandfather. Not a dry eye in the chapel. And then Marge, Frank’s widow, stood and began to slowly clap. We didn’t know what to do. Even the most clap-prone among us had never applauded at a funeral. When Marge could see that no one was joining in, she turned to the crowd, gave us a stare that meant business and began clapping again. And, at the risk of going to hell, we all stood and clapped. I think it’s a risk I’d take again.

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

Journalism matters in your community

Beyond the noise of the Beltway and the daily vilification of national media outlets, are community newspapers serving cities, counties and regions throughout the U.S. Your local newspaper is far from being The Fake News. Your newspaper is most definitely not The Enemy of the People. In fact, the paper is the eyes, ears and voice of the people.

The people who work down at the paper are your friends, neighbors or maybe even your relatives. They are dedicated men and women who work hard every day to inform, educate and entertain you.

Perhaps presidents and political figures have always railed against the media when they feel as if they are under attack.

But not like this.

President Donald J. Trump’s all-out assault on journalists is beyond the pale.

When he calls the media the enemy of the people and says the news they report is fake, he has gone way too far.

If he feels the need to push back against certain reports because he believes those specific stories contain false information, that is fair game.

But to malign journalism itself and to paint all journalists with one broad stroke is irresponsible and even dangerous to an open and free society.

The media must play an important role

as the Fourth Estate, hold government in check and shine the light on all the actions of our governors. That is the very intention of the First Amendment.

The president does not seem to understand, or care, that all journalists everywhere — even here in your hometown — feel they are under constant attack.

That includes the reporter sitting next to you at the county commission meeting, the editorialist questioning a property tax increase by local government and

the photographer taking pictures at your child’s school play.

Each of these local journalists is someone’s son, daughter, husband, wife, father, mother, brother, sister or cousin. They are not your enemies or the purveyors of fake news.

They have no desire to spread falsehoods. They are decent people with tons of integrity. Many of them are young people just getting started in their careers, full of idealism and hope that in their own

small way they can help make their own little corner of the world a better place.

Just imagine how it must make them feel every time someone parrots the loose words of the president and calls them The Fake News and The Enemy of the People.

Actually, they see themselves as truth tellers whose only desire is to serve their community. They do so by going to city council meetings, covering high school football games, telling the stories of your neighbors, sharing information about things to do, and, yes, by holding local government accountable when necessary.

You may support President Trump and his policies, but please do not join the president in his vitriol toward the press and vilification of the fine, hard-working men and women who are out covering meetings and events in the community each day.

It might even be nice during National Newspaper Week, when you see a reporter at a community event, your club or organization, at your child’s school or covering a public meeting to go up to them and simply thank them for what they do.

Editor’s note: This message is distributed by the Missouri Press Association, published in conjunction with National Newspaper Week observed Oct. 7-13. Jim Zachary is deputy national editor of CNHI and editor of the Valdosta (Georgia) Daily Times.

A sequel to the ‘Slave Mansion’ points to P.S. Kenney Last week’s focus on photographs shared by Johnny Black has triggered more discussion about the “Slave Mansion” which once operated as a farm just outside of Kidder. Teresa Eaton not only grew up nearby but her family has primary information revealing details and insights which evolved into local lore.

Teresa says the man who built the “Slave Mansion” was Patrick Stanley Kenney, her great-greatgreat uncle. He was an Irish Catholic who came to America as a result of the potato famine in his native homeland.

Kenney was a prominent businessman. He served as county judge of Caldwell County for six

years, beginning in 1875.

Judge Kennney was instrumental in luring the railroad into the area and, thus, founding Kidder. According to the State Historical Society of Missouri, the home of P.S. Kenney was briefly used as a railroad station. This was prior to 1860 while Kenney owned a store and presided over a post office called Emmett.

The community’s name was changed to Kidder when a depot was established. Kenney also donated the land for the cemetery which bears his name, where his resting place is marked by an impressive monument that can still be seen today. Kenney Cemetery is south of the larger Kidder

Cemetery, southwest of town.

Local lore adds color to this cemetery with claims of mass burials of slaves and Chinese railroad workers supposedly located in a corner.

What’s more, Teresa’s mother- and father-in-law, Virginia and Glenn Eaton, lived in the Kenney “Slave Mansion” when the couple married in the mid1950s. Virginia tells Teresa how they seldom went down into the basement of the home, but Virginia recalls a cellar entrance had caved in and was still evident in the basement.

It could be that this fueled local rumors about a slave tunnel which some say connected to a

Spike: Old soldiers (should not) fade away (from page 2) funerals for deceased veterans.

Ironically, the funeral detail actually gets paid $100 by the State VFW for every answered call but the Gallatin post no longer has the active membership to provide the service.

Yes, there’s more than membership dues and aging veterans in understanding the precipitous fall in VFW membership. As technology encroaches into our personal lives, fewer and fewer people find fulfillment in traditional organizations and community endeavors.

Membership ranks seem in decline on multiple fronts, from traditional church rolls to civic clubs and service groups, to political parties and even voter registrations for elections. The VFW is no exception. It seems the “Me Generation” is not confined to any one age group.

Maybe it’s inevitable that Gallatin’s VFW post fades into memories like so many other local posts. Actually, that’s not bad if it means America actually has fewer and fewer military con-

flicts in foreign lands. Sadly, too many Americans fail to realize how many places of conflict continually threaten our men and women in uniform, such as in Africa. History indicates there may never be a shortage of veterans eligible for the VFW. Regardless of the decisions at hand facing members of Post #2172, our appreciation of those who serve us in the military now or in the past does not waver or wane. The goals of promoting patriotism and respect aren’t confined to any one organization, even that with the tradition of VFW. There are other appropriate remarks on this topic that should be shared here. But perhaps nothing arises to this occasion higher than a news item published by Rob Corf this week in the Hale Horizons, one of the hometown papers which prints here each week at Gallatin Publishing Company.

Consider the following: When the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1944,

one of the ships that was torpedoed multiple times was the USS Oklahoma. The ship capsized and 429 sailors and Marines were killed. One of those sailors was from Laclede, MO. His name was Harold Lloyd Head.

Only 35 remains were identified and the rest were buried at National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific as “Unknown.”

On April 14, 2015, permission was granted to exhume the graves. On Sept. 26, 2017, it was confirmed through DNA testing that the remains of Seaman Second Class (S2c) Harold Head were recovered and identified.

Next Wednesday, Oct. 10, on what was to have been his 97th birthday, a formal funeral procession for Harold Lloyd Head will leave the Meyers Northland Chapel in Parkville, MO, for his final resting place at 1 p.m. at the Laclede Cemetery in Laclede, MO (on Highway 36, west of Brookfield). Full military honors will be conducted by the U.S. Navy.

Let us welcome him home!

nearby barn.

Nothing about the Slave Mansion exists today. If you venture west of Kidder to where it once stood (about two miles on the county line, as if traveling by horse and buggy), you’ll only see a cornfield.

NOTES ON KIDDER: Kidder was laid out in 1860

by Geo. S. Harris for F. W. Hunnewell and Ed. L. Baker, trustees of the Kidder Land Company of Boston and named for H.P. Kidder. The land company sought to encourage non-slave owning European immigrants to settle along the Hannibal and St. Joseph Railroad which at the time was the furthest west railroad in the United States. The town site was almost a mile square.

In its early days, Kidder was called the “Athens of Caldwell County” for its interests in scholarship. From its inception, a college was part of this community’s plans.

Thayer College was founded in 1871 and closed in 1876. The campus was known as Thayer College and Thayer High School.

The handsome marker in Kenney Cemetery reads: In memory of Patrick S. Kenney, born in the parish of Orangan Co. Tipperary, Ireland, Aug. 9, 1829. Died Jan. 11, 1908. First Lieut. and Regt.

Quartermaster, First Regt of Calvalry M.S.M. 1862-1865 It reopened in 1877 as the Kidder Institute and operated under the auspices of the Congregational Church of Missouri. The building was used as a public school from 1934 to 1981. The property eventually was purchased for private purposes. In 2004 Kidder received national publicity after a student at the Thayer Learning Center, operating in these buildings, died after not receiving treatment early enough.

A short history of chrysanthemums

By Tim Baker, MU Horticulture Specialist Years ago, I came across a history of chrysanthemum cultivation, published by the University of Virginia. It provides a good example of a plant that was originally found in another part of the world, and was eventually brought to the Americas.

Chrysanthemums originated in China, and were mentioned by Confucius around 500 B.C. They were introduced to Japan in the 4th century A.D., for medicinal purposes.

But it wasn’t until 1688 that traders brought a few plants back to Europe. Those few plants died, and no further efforts to import chrysanthemums were made until 1789.

In that year, one single plant made the voyage from China to France, and this time the plant survived.

Chrysanthemums were ideally suited to the climate around Marseilles, and soon the plant was propagated and sold. A few years later, exhibitions were being held.

The first record of mums being brought to the United States is in 1798, when John Stevens of New Jersey imported them.

They soon became popular, and by 1830, they were being exhibited in flower shows in Boston.

Chrysanthemums grew in popularity. By the 1870s, specialty shows devoted completely to chrysanthemums were being held. Both professional and amateur plant breeders devoted time to improving the plant. Dr. Henry Walcott of Boston, and Elmer Smith of Michigan developed many excellent varieties in the late 19th century. John Thorpe

of New York was enthusiastic enough to found the National Chrysanthemum Society in 1890.

Further progress was made in 1925, when Alex Cumming of Connecticut crossed wild species of chrysanthemums from Korea with standard varieties to produce the Korean Hybrids.

These plants had improved hardiness, and were better able to survive cold winters.

Chrysanthemums are remarkably diverse, with many colors and forms available, mainly due to the time and effort put into development by plant breeders through the years.

The next time you see a mum in someone’s yard or at a football game, think about what it took to get here.

I think you’ll also agree it was truly worth the effort.

Vendors at Heritage Day Festival Jamesport Heritage Day Festival was held Friday and Saturday, Sept.

28 and 29, in Jamesport. Pictured are only a few of the vendors that set up in the A.V. Spillman building. A craft show, retail market, kettle corn, fall decor, and lost arts demonstrations were also on show during the weekend. The festival was sponsored by the Jamesport Community Association.

Training in Jamesport soon for fruit, vegetable growers Fruit and vegetable growers can meet training requirements of the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) at workshops at various locations throughout Missouri, including one at Jamesport in November, with the time to be announced.

FSMA includes rules for produce growers that are intended to reduce the risk of contamination from E. coli, listeria, salmonella and other disease-causing microbes, said Londa Nwadike, consumer food safety specialist with University of Missouri Extension and Kansas State Research and Extension. The rules set standards related to water quality, use of manure and compost, and worker health and hygiene.

“Because some produce is not cooked before eating, it’s essential that anyone handling fresh fruit and vegetables along the grower-to-consumer chain use the best practices possible to ensure safety,” Nwadike said.

Dates and locations: Oct. 3, Mount Vernon; Oct. 4, West Plains; Oct. 29, Lamar; Nov. 7,

Joins Class of 2019 Alexas Miller has been accepted into Culver-Stockton College’s fall 2019 incoming class.

Miller, a senior at Cameron R-I High School and from Winston, was also awarded the Wildcat academic scholarship.

Windsor; November (date to be announced), Jamesport; Dec. 4, St. Peters; Dec. 7, Kennett; Dec. 12, Barnett (tentative); Jan. 10, 2019, at the Great Plains Growers Conference, St. Joseph.

The one-day workshop covers how to identify risks, best practices to reduce risks, key parts of the FSMA’s produce safety rule, and how to develop a farm food safety plan.

Participants will be eligible to receive a Certificate of Course Attendance from the Association of Food and Drug Officials that

verifies they have attended the course, which is a requirement for compliance with the FSMA produce safety rule. Certificates are issued to individuals who attend the course and do not stay with the farm or organization if those individuals leave.

For questions, contact Nwadike at 816-482-5860 or Patrick Byers at 417-859-2044.

The workshops are sponsored by the University of Missouri, Kansas State University, Lincoln University and the Missouri Department of Agriculture.

Kickin’ Cancer event on Oct. 6 The Kickin’ Cancer with Kindness committee invites everyone to the fifth annual BBQ event, which raises funds for the purchase of $25 gas cards to help cancer patients in Daviess County defray their cost of traveling to and from cancer treatments.

The BBQ block party will be 5-6:30 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 6, on Market Street between the lumber company and the Methodist Church. Free will donations are accepted and ALL proceeds from the event go to purchase the gas cards.

BTC and Farmers Bank in Gallatin and Home Exchange Bank in Jamesport will continue to distribute the free $25 gas cards. Cancer patients going to treatment may request a gas card at the banks’ lobby or driveup window.

Many churches, businesses, clubs and individuals have joined together to provide the food and silent auction items for the fundraiser. Again this year, Greg Houghton has donated his time to prepare the BBQ pork. Mark and Keith Gay, Rick Tolen, along with Christian Church Praise Team, and Harrison Pettit have volunteered their time for the entertainment. The silent auction will begin at 5 p.m. and end at 6:15 p.m.

In 2017, over 200 people attended, raising $8,456 from the meal donations and silent auction bids during the evening. So far this year, gas cards totaling $7,950 have been distributed to cancer patients.

Those donating by check to this worthy cause of helping your neighbor should make checks payable to Kickin’ Cancer with Kindness.

In case of inclement weather, the event will be held downstairs in the Methodist Church.

From the Bench

Duties realign following the promotion of Judge Chapman

by Judge R. Brent Elliott My colleague, Judge Thomas Nichols Chapman, has been appointed to the Western District Court of Appeals by Gov. Mike Parsons.

I have been engaged in the legal profession for more than 37 years and have known Judge Chapman that entire time. He possesses a very high intellect and incredible work ethic.

These qualities, coupled with his personable nature, made him a pleasure to work with.

Shortly after Judge Chapman was elected circuit judge, confidence in his ability compelled me to request he assume the position of presiding judge and perform the significant duties associated with that position.

He served the 43rd Judicial Circuit well and will be greatly missed. However, I choose to think his fine personal qualities and superior legal intellect will now benefit all citizens of Western Missouri.

I hope you join me in celebrating Judge Chapman’s appointment. He is the first judge selected to the Court of Appeals from our circuit in 45 years. The previous appointment was the Honorable Ronald Somerville of Chillicothe in 1973.

Judge Chapman has already been informally sworn in to his new position and I have resumed

the duties of presiding judge. All of our associate circuit judges have been assisting to insure Judge Chapman’s cases are processed in a timely manner. The vacancy created by Judge Chapman’s departure has changed the nature of some area judicial races.

Chillicothe attorney Ryan Horsman withdrew his candidacy for Division 2 Circuit Judge and procured his party’s nomination to run in Division 1 for the seat formerly held by Judge Chapman. He is unopposed in the November election.

Incumbent Judge Brent Elliott is now unopposed for the Division 2 Circuit Judge position.

Associate Circuit Judges Daren Adkins and Jason Kanoy are unopposed in their re-election bids in Daviess and Caldwell Counties, respectively.

Chillicothe lawyer Michael Leamer is unopposed in the November election for Livingston County Associate Circuit Judge.

(He will replace the retiring Judge James P. Valbracht.)

In DeKalb County, Associate Circuit Judge Bart Spear faces a November election challenge from Cameron attorney Kelly Puckett.

Clinton County Associate Circuit Judge Teresa Bingham is opposed in November’s election

by Clinton County’s Prosecuting Attorney, Joe Gagnon.

Oct. 5 Schedule

Forcing mistakes, Gallatin takes down S. Harrison, 23-22 Gallatin rode the ups and downs of Friday night’s showdown with South Harrison to a 23-22 come from behind victory that kept them even with Milan in Grand River Conference standings heading into week six.

Each game moving forward carries equal importance as the Bulldogs drive toward their first conference championship since 2006. Gallatin travels to Milan this Friday to try to derail an impressive success story in the making. The Wildcats have progressed from 1-9 in 2016, 2-8 in 2017 to today’s 6-0 mark that puts them on the cusp of a Class 1 state ranking.

Senior Jamuel Pagan, a 5-11, 200 pound fullback, leads Milan’s strong ground attack. He has rushed for over 100 yards in each of his team’s six games.

Gallatin struggled early to get its offense in gear but South Harrison decided to play less than mistake-free football. An opening drive stalled inside South Harrison’s 20-yard line and led to a missed field goal attempt.

South Harrison failed to move the ball on its first possession and when a high punt snap rolled into the end zone, Tom Crouse covered the punter to give Gallatin a safety and 2-0 lead.

South Harrison capitalized on a GHS fumble and was able to score late in the first period after successfully covering two of their own fumbles. Strongarmed freshman quarterback Cody Weller made decisions both good and bad in the contest, but this time connected with Collin Haffey for a 10-yard score. Haffey added the two-

point conversion.

An off-target throw by Weller fell into the hands of linebacker Graydee Rains, who plucked the ball out of the air and ran 10 yards for the defensive touchdown, giving Gallatin a 9-8 lead after Adrian Hernandez’s extra point kick.

Gallatin’s lead lasted only two minutes. Weller guided his team down to the GHS 4 yard line, where Haffey took the ball in for the go-ahead score. A Weller to Grady Linthacum pass tacked on a two-point conversion.

A Homecoming victory for Gallatin was in serious doubt when South Harrison opened the second half with a quick score. Haffey got behind the secondary and sprinted 44 yards after hauling in Weller’s second TD pass of the game. The conversion attempt failed but South Harrison led, 22-9.

Needing a spark, Gallatin got it from Aidan Adkison, who moved to quarterback and used his speed on a 44-yard touchdown run early in the fourth period.

Hernandez again added the extra point.

Moments later, Rains scored his second interception and ran again for a 10-yard touchdown.

The point after kick by Hernandez broke the tie and accounted for the final score.

Gallatin’s defense continued to come up with big stops. With three minutes left in the game, South Harrison put together a drive to the GHS 45-yard line but faced fourth and one to sustain the series. Linthacum got the call on a dive play off the left side but he met a wall of Galla-

Gallatin tried to hold onto the ball long enough to run out the clock but South Harrison got the ball back with 15 seconds left after a Tristen Gibson punt to the SH 14. An incomplete pass took five seconds off the clock.

A sideline pass to Haffey moved the ball forward but left no time for another play.

Adkison led the winners with

91 yards on 11 carries. He also completed an important 15yard, fourth quarter pass to JJ Waters that gained a first down and allowed Gallatin to use more time off the clock while protecting a one-point lead.

In addition to two interceptions returned for touchdowns, Rains led Gallatin with 11 solo tackles and 6 assists. Gaven Gray also scored an interception. Morgan McBroom chalked up a quarterback sack early in the contest.

Lock, Bentley square off again as Tigers travel to South Carolina

by Benjamin Herrold Timing and the SEC divisional alignments linked Drew Lock and Jake Bentley. Lock, a senior, is a native Missourian quarterbacking the Missouri Tigers. Bentley, a junior, is a native South Carolinian quarterbacking the South Carolina Gamecocks. Lock has put up bigger numbers, but Bentley has a better winning percentage. Both have had success.

On Saturday, Missouri (3-1, 0-1 in SEC) travels to the eastern Columbia to take on South Carolina (11 a.m. on SEC Network).

Most likely, it will be Lock’s 38th career start and Bentley’s 25th career start, including their third head-to-head matchup.

These are two veteran quarterbacks playing a game that could mean a lot for how their seasons

will unfold and, of course, for how fans will remember them.

It’s also a rivalry game. Well, sort of. I grant that the good people in Missouri’s small towns and cities probably don’t spend a lot of time thinking about what’s going on in South Carolina, or loathing Gamecocks the way they loath a certain bird mascot to the West. But the two teams do play for an actual rivalry trophy, the Mayor’s Cup, and the annual series has already had some memorable games.

There was the 2013 classic, when South Carolina rallied to knock off the No. 5 Tigers in double overtime and Gamecock quarterback Connor Show was carried off the field brandishing that Mayor’s Cup like he’d just found the Holy Grail. There was another classic in 2014, when Missouri launched their march

to another SEC East title with a stunning comeback win at South Carolina, capped by a fourth quarter touchdown run that prompted me to hug and lift my friend and accidentally break his sunglasses.

It’s hard to say if this year’s game will be as good as those, but it’s certainly a big game for both teams. Missouri lost to Georgia on Sept. 22, but they still have a lot on the table for this season. This could still be a highly successful, memorable year. Saturday’s game is fairly pivotal. A win gets the Tigers back on track with a chance to rack up some wins after a tough trip to Alabama on Oct. 13. But if they lose, they’ll likely be 3-3 after that trip to Alabama, and some of those opponents left on the schedule, especially Kentucky and Florida, are looking

tough.

South Carolina (2-2, 1-2 in SEC) is struggling a bit, losing 24-10 to sudden football juggernaut Kentucky. Bentley completed less than half his passes, threw three interceptions, and dinged his knee as well, adding injury to insult. But the Gamecocks are still a good team and should bounce back with a good effort Saturday. Williams-Brice Stadium, a looming stadium with white towel-waving frenzy, can be a tough place to play. Receiver Deebo Samuel is one of the best playmakers in the SEC. Missouri will need to get its offense back to piling up points, and if the Tiger defense can hold its ground and stay vigilant on the Deebo Watch, this feels like a game they can win.

Coffee Shop Talk

with Daviess County FSA

By Mandi Bird, FSA County Executive Director

Hello folks! Thanks for reading the October issue of Coffee Shop Talk! Hope harvest is going well for everyone. The pastures sure bounced back after those August rains and hopefully it helped finish out the soybean crop. Here at the office in Gallatin we ended the month of September with 1.23 inches of rain compared to the average of 4.21 inches. For calendar year 2018, we are over 17 inches below normal.

A few crop reporting deadlines to keep in mind; Hay and pasture reports are due by Nov. 15 each year. Most farmers have signed a continuous certification, but it is important to have your hay vs. pasture correctly distinguished on your report. This comes into effect on certain programs such as livestock drought relief programs.

Please stop by and make sure your hay and pasture are correctly reported by Nov. 15. The deadline to report winter wheat is Dec. 15.

ARC payments for 2017 are almost determined. Prices are evaluated at over 2,000 markets across the country from Sept. 1 through Aug. 31 for corn, soybeans and grain sorghum. For wheat and oats, it is June 1 through May 31. The 2017 marketing year average prices have been determined: corn $3.36; soybeans $9.33; wheat $4.72; oats $2.59; and grain sorghum $3.22. These prices are compared to the five-year Olympic average prices and yields to determine a revenue guarantee per acre. The 2017 actual yields and prices are then compared to the five-year average to determine if there was a loss; if so, determine payment rates for each base acre commodity.

The PLC payments have been determined. This program is merely based on reference prices set by the 2014 Farm Bill. If the marketing year average price falls below the reference price, payments are triggered. For 2017, corn, grain sorghum and wheat bases will pay because the marketing year average price for these commodities was below the set reference price. The difference is then taken times the yield on your specific farm, times 85% of that commodity base acres on your farm. For example: The reference price of corn is $3.70. The 2017 marketing year price was $3.36 for a difference of $0.34. If your farm has an established corn yield of 120 and 100 base acres of corn, the calculation would be as follows: $0.34 x 120 x 85 (100 bases x 85%) = $3,468 for this farm.

If you have more questions about the programs or your farm specifically, give us a call and we’ll be happy to give you more info.

Oct. 1 is the start of the new fiscal year, which begins the new year for CRP mid-contract management. Those producers who need to complete mid-contract management in FY 2019 are reminded to follow the applicable recommended dates for the applicable practice being completed (i.e. burning, disking, or spraying). Any mid-contract management completed in the 2018 year needs to be reported as soon as possible. If you have questions about these requirements, please contact the office.

It’s county committee election time for producers in Benton, Jamesport, Lincoln, Salem and Washington townships. To be an eligible voter you must own a farm and/or operate a farm in one of these five townships. The Farm Service Agency is unique in the fact that we operate on the farmer elected committee system so your participation is important! The nominee for this year’s election is Joyce Eads. Ballots will be mailed the first week of November and must be returned or postmarked by Dec. 3.

I’d like to remind producers the Farm Service Agency offers low interest marketing assistance loans. MALs provide producers interim financing after harvest to help them meet cash flow needs without having to sell their commodities when market prices are typically at harvest-time lows. The current interest rate is 3.375% and the grain is used as collateral for the 9-month loan.

Reminder, the office will be closed on Monday, Oct. 8 for Columbus Day.

WORSHIP

October 3, 2018 Lake Viking The phrase “You never know what is going to happen when you come to Lake Viking Church!” has been said many times over the years. Sunday was a perfect example of that saying. Pastor Robert Nelson’s sermon was on “The Anointing!’ and one of the scriptures that he used in his sermon says “Is any sick among you? Let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord.” James 5:7-20. That is exactly what took place during the service. Several from the congregation came forward asking prayers for healing and they were anointed with oil and prayed over. We have seen many answers to our prayers here at Lake Viking Church and we continue to pray!

The special music was by Bonnie Berg, Johnny Brown and Pastor Robert Nelson.

A time of fellowship and a potluck dinner were held following the worship service.

Gallatin United Methodist Pastor Brad Dush and his family led the call to worship as Sue Bird accompanied them on the piano. The hour-long songfest was enjoyed by all as Sue played the organ for the congregational singing. Liz and Elijah Lawinger sang a special and Emery played a piano solo. The children collected change from the congregation for Share Fest.

Native grasses produce good cattle forage during drought This summer was difficult for Missouri cattle producers.

Drought withered pastures, prompting producers to sell cattle early or feed hay that would normally be used in winter. Farmers with access to native grass pastures fared better.

With their deep root systems, native warm-season prairie grasses are drought tolerant.

They’re also nutritious and can boost profitable weight gains in

Winston R-6 board meeting 7. This year the planning committee decided to do morning activities followed by lunch with grandparents.

Once again, Winston is collaborating with the MU extension office for nutrition classes. The school provides the time and space, Extension provides the instruction and materials necessary for the class. This program is for all PK-6th grade students and occurs every Friday for a seven week period. Students are introduced to proper nutrition, health lifestyles and get to sample foods.

Constitution Week was Sept.

17-23. The Gallatin Chapter of DAR provided a lesson plan and proclamation.

This was the second year for the school to host the Parent

community in their commitment to encourage the additional educational resources that the Title I Program offers. Title 1 coordinator Meredith Doty stated that a big “Thank You” goes out to the grade school teachers and staff members for all of the effort and enthusiasm shown for the event.

Second Harvest apples were also available free to those in attendance to aid in the relief efforts that no child go hungry in the community.

North Daviess plans to keep the initiative going for parents and students to encourage reading and math after school hours.

cattle during normal growing seasons, too.

The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) can offer guidance to producers wishing to convert some cool-season grass pasture acres to warmseason grasses. Native grass productivity is especially obvious during a dry summer.

Low rainfall coupled with higher than normal temperatures made this summer the worst drought-stifled growing season for Missouri since 2012, confirmed Pat Guinan, state climatologist based at the University of Missouri at Columbia.

But some pockets, especially in north Missouri, experienced drought worse than 2012.

Keeping a quarter to a third of pasture acres in native warmseason forages is part of a good drought mitigation strategy, but native forage is also a way to increase cattle weight gains and profits regardless of weather.

Plus, native grasses provide good wildlife habitat.

Producers can contact their local MDC private land conservationists to learn more about establishing native forages. For more information, visit https:// short.mdc.mo.gov/Zp3. For all MDC private land services, visit https://mdc.mo.gov/property.

Amish (from page one) modern, use electricity and computers. However, they also don’t have radios or televisions.

Swartzentruby Amish The Swartzentruby Amish live near Spickard. They are ultra-conservative Amish. They don’t even like riding in a car.

They still use outhouses and have no indoor plumbing.

New Order Amish The New Order Amish split from the Old Order after there were church differences. With that the old order Amish have ex-communicated the new order Amish, which means the old order members are not to have business dealings with them of any kind or eat at the same table. The new order church uses

mostly the English language instead of the German. Also the new order group uses more modern conveniences such as cell phones, tractors to farm, and most of them use electricity.

They still try to maintain a plain Christian based lifestyle.

Hutterites Daviess County is home to the first Hutterite colony in Missouri. Three families, six adults and five children, moved onto 190 acres of the Boyd farm, located six miles northeast of Gallatin on Highway K, in 2014. The population has now grown to 61 and the colony has built two new houses.

The Hutterites branched off from the Anabaptist movement in 1528 in Europe. The Hutter-

ites believe in economic communalism and rejection of private property based on practices of the early Christian church in the Bible. Though the Hutterite life style preserves a philosophy that dates back to 1530, their housing and vehicles and equipment are all modern day and progressive.

Though they share common roots with Amish and Mennonites, Hutterites differ from these two other Anabaptist church communities on their “take on the common life and community of goods.”

The Daviess County Hutterites are Schmiedeleut.

The Colony farms a little and does cabinet working, stainless steel work and well drilling.

NRCS Announces Nov. 16 deadline for financial help Whatever calls us to this icon of American rural life, old barns lend themselves readily to picture-taking. This is a favorite photo of an old barn in Daviess County taken by North Missourian’s Dennis Cox.

Preserving old barns through pictures

Why do we love old barns? It’s hard to say. They stand stubbornly anchored to the earth, roofs sagging, timber falling, paint peeling. Maybe they remind of us our rural roots... maybe we are nostalgic for a way of life that is steadily slipping away.

And there are plenty of barns around to take a picture of. According to a 2007 survey by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Missouri ranks second only to Texas in the number of barns built before 1960—about 36,000.

Here’s the list of a few resources dedicated to their preservation.

• The Missouri Barn Alliance and Rural Network (Mo BARN) – A nonprofit group for the preservation, documentation, and re-use of historic barns and farmsteads in our state.

• Missouri State Historic Preservation Office – Part of the Missouri Department of Natural Resources, partnering with Mo BARN to collect information about Missouri historic barns and farmsteads still in existence.

• Missouri Alliance for Historic Preservation – Missouri’s statewide grassroots preservation network.

• National Barn Alliance – Nationwide nonprofit organization coordinating preservation efforts to save historic barns.

• Old Barns, Mills, Buildings, and Structures of Missouri – A

Facebook Group started by Mark Karpinski, whose Mark Karpinski Signature Photography gallery in Branson features Ozark and Western landscape photography. The group, which is open to anyone, is devoted to the historical beauty of old rural Missouri structures, and has posted many photos of Missouri barns.

Jamesport man seriously injured A Jamesport man was seriously injured in an accident that happened at about 2:15 p.m. on Sept. 27 in Daviess County.

According to the highway patrol, David Kauffman, 52, Jamesport, was southbound on Hwy. 190. About one mile south of Jamesport he lost control of his 2002 Chevrolet Silverado. He crossed the center of the roadway and ran off the east side. His vehicle struck a mailbox, wooden walkway and a driveway, became airborne, overturned multiple times, struck several small trees, and came to rest partly on a fence, facing east.

Mr. Kauffman was taken by Life Flight to Truman Medical Center. He was wearing his seat belt.

The accident investigated by Tpr. J.J. Thompson, assisted by the Daviess County Sheriff’s Office.

The USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) announced November 16 as the cut-off date to apply for Fiscal Year 2019 funds through the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP).

EQIP allows farmers, ranchers, forestland managers and landowners to conserve natural resources by making available financial assistance to improve soil, water, air, plants, animals and related resources.

“EQIP provides opportunities for financial assistance statewide to applicants who have natural resource problems on their land, including concerns associated with crops, livestock, forest and wildlife,” State Conservationist J.R. Flores said.

Soil health will be a priority again in Fiscal Year 2019. Along with helping row crop farmers increase organic matter and water-holding capacity, dedicated funding will be available for farmers and ranchers to incorporate pasture and hay land practices that improve soil health and resiliency to drought Funding will also be available to address resource concerns through Agroforestry.

The November 16 application deadline also applies to the following initiatives: •On-Farm Energy Initiative provides financial assistance for farmers and ranchers to identify ways to conserve energy on their farms through on-farm energy audits, and financial assistance to implement recommendations identified in the energy audits.

•Seasonal High Tunnel Initiative - provides financial assis-

Garden Club flower pot at jail stolen The Gallatin Garden Club held their Sept. 18 meeting at the Seventh Day Adventist Service Center.

Betty Bird was hostess. Her yard of the month blooming flower was a mandevilla. Members were given information about the October meeting by President Jean Caldwell.

Vice President Brenda Williams conducted the business meeting.

A most important item was that someone removed the club’s potted blooming flower in a pretty pot that was in the front of the Squirrel Cage Jail in town about a

week before Chautauqua. Please return it!

There will be a September Yard of the Month.

Betty Bird’s program was on 22 beautiful quilts shown by Pat Yost, Sue Downey and Betty herself. The quilts included a 1893 patch work quilt which was a treat to see. Ms. Yost answered many questions and invited everyone to the county library on Saturday morning for a quilt making. Betty’s daughter Patricia was a guest and helped with displaying the quilts.

The end of VFW Post #2172? (cont. from page one) for military honors at funeral services. The VFW color guard is no longer an automatic vanguard at local parades and festivals.

Money is not the issue. Frazier Post #2172 is in good standing with state and national obligations and has the ability to continue financially. The question is whether enough veterans will commit to continue the local post.

“If we get response, we’ll continue,” says Carl Carder, an active VFW member. “If not, we must close the doors.”

Active members like Mr. Carder, Robert Smith and Gary Jones would like the local post to continue if only for another year.

By selecting a new post commander and continuing mandatory donations and insurance bonding payments as required, local VFW members could then decide whether to continue or perhaps convert bank accounts into seed money to promote another veterans group.

“Veterans living in this county worked hard to accumulate the money that exists in our VFW accounts,” says Mr. Carder.

“We’d prefer that whatever good that comes from this revenue be

and disappear underground in less than a minute.

But for most people, a badger is a rare sighting. Only 24 badger sightings were recorded by MDC in 2017 and 2018. Those were based on sightings, trapper and hunter reports, or badgers found dead on roadways. The loss of prairie and woodland habitat with suitable prey is one reason for their population decline, Conlee said. Their life habits also make them hard to see.

“They’re nocturnal, and they live underground. You typically don’t see them crossing over the road in front of you,” Conlee said.

“They’re pretty elusive to begin with, and since they are less common than many other furbearers, people don’t typically see them.”

Spotted skunks are today seen primarily in the southeast Missouri Ozarks. The state is on the southern fringe of the least weasel’s range, and they are only seen in north Missouri.

Long-tailed weasels may be seen statewide, but they are rare in Missouri. Weasels are small but fierce predators, preferring to eat rodents.

Anyone with photos, video, or carcasses of badgers, spotted skunks, or weasels are asked to contact Conlee via email at laura. conlee@mdc.mo.gov.

spent here, to benefit local veterans.”

Other organizations for military veterans are on the rise nationally even as the VFW is in decline. A basic difference is in the definition of veteran. For instance, American Veterans (AMVETS) welcomes any and all veterans regardless of service branch or type of military service.

This contrasts with VFW which organized for veterans serving in armed conflicts overseas.

Realities undermining VFW membership overall is not a new development. At one time there were VFW posts active at Pattonsburg, Jamesport, Lock Springs and Winston in this county alone. Today there are no VFW posts in neighboring Gentry and Caldwell counties although posts continue in Grundy, Harrison, DeKalb and Livingston counties.

As might be expected by population counts, the most active VFW post in the area is at Chillicothe.

The Daviess County VFW Auxiliary to the local veterans’ post dissolved last June.

“Our next meeting could be

the last meeting for Frazier Post #2172,” says Mr. Carder. “Decisions must be made now so it’s important that any veteran who either is a VFW member or has interest in continuing the local post attend the meeting on Oct. 11.”

Points of Significance Frank Frazier Post #2172 has excelled in times past, including five consecutive years of AllState VFW honors leading up to one All-American award. The most recent all-state award was announced Sept. 28 at the VFW Fall Council held at Chateau on the Lake in Branson.

The criteria for such honors includes membership, proper reporting, donations to designated funds, and participation in such programs as the Voice of Democracy, Patriot’s Pen, and School Teacher of the Year.

Perhaps the zenith of recognitions achieved by Post #2172 occurred in 2014 when the local post hosted the Vietnam Veterans Memorial “The Moving Wall.” This replica of the actual memorial at Washington, D.C., was on display at Dockery Park.

The names of all the soldiers who died in Vietnam are listed on the wall for friends and family to remember and honor and never forget their sacrifices or the pain of having lost them. There are 58,248 names listed on the memorial and 164 of these are still unaccounted for as Prisoners of War (POWs) and Missing in Action (MIAs).

In conjunction with opening night at “The Wall” a very special award presentation occurred when VFW Commander Ray Clevenger accepted the VFW All-American Award on behalf of Post #2172 from the VFW State Commander. The names of 101 veterans were shown on the local post’s membership roll at that time.

Thus, the presentation of The Moving Wall was a great success for Post #2172 but it also marks the start of a significant decline in local membership. Post #2172 probably peaked during the early 1950s when military veterans reentering civilian life after World War II sought earned benefits.

Other significant dates recorded in recent years by mem-

bers of Frazier Post #2172 include the following: 2008 — 75th anniversary of Frank Frazier Post #2172 coincides with a major milestone in the history of VFW with over 100 veterans from Word War II, the Korean War, Vietnam, and solders from the post 9/11 War on Terrorism attending a “Diamond Jubilee Award” breakfast at Cycles Restaurant in Gallatin 2010 — VFW presentation of POW/MIA flags to the Daviess County Commission and to the City of Gallatin 2011 — Rachel Toney became the first female member, serving as chaplain. She served in the U.S. Army in Iraq in 2005.

Driver exam stations closed The Missouri State Highway Patrol would like to remind the public that driver examination stations throughout the state will be closed on Monday, Oct. 8, 2018, in observance of Columbus Day. Normal operations will resume on Tuesday, Oct. 9.
