Jail purchases four vans, will upgrade for prisoner transport

Plans underway to replace Route 13 bridge, community briefing Oct. 19 Plans are underway to replace the bridge on Route 13 over Honey Creek. The Missouri Department of Transportation will hold a community briefing from 4-6 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 19, at the Gallatin R-5 School in the commons area. Designers and engineers from the Missouri Department of Transportation will be on hand to discuss the construction plans for the new bridge and to gather public input.

This will be an open-house style meeting; no formal presentation will be made. The public is invited and encouraged to of-

fer comments at any time during the meeting. Participants will also have the opportunity to document their comments and sign up to be included on project updates via email.

The bridge was built in 1934.

It is 282 feet long, carries approximately 1,500 cars per day, and has exceeded its intended lifespan. Most of the state’s 10,376 bridges were designed and built to last 50 years. The bridge will be closed during its replacement. The project is currently scheduled to go out for bid to contractors in March 2018.

Daviess County Regional Jail has purchased four new vans to revamp their transportation fleet — the old vans had high mileage and were having maintenance issues.

The vans are used to transport prisoners from various detention facilities to the jail located at Pattonsburg, and from the regional jail to the courthouse.

Ed Howard, jail administrator, worked with Hiester Chevrolet in Lillington, N.C. The vans listed for $38,000 each and the jail was able to purchase them for $28,956 each, for a total of $115,824.

The board approved the purchase of the vans through Bob Barker, the vendor that sells the inserts that go in the vans to make them secure for the transport of prisoners, such as segregated compartments, viewing systems, etc.

The North Carolina dealership is in close proximity to the manufacturer of the inserts and will ship the vans there. Upon completion of the inserts, the vans will be shipped to the jail. The cost of

the insets is still being negotiated.

In other business at the Oct. 5 meeting of the DaviessDeKalb Regional Jail Board, it was noted that DeKalb County Sheriff ’s Department will be trading for a new vehicle.

Deputy Director Tim Carder gave the financial report.

Sales tax revenue for August 2017 was $105,119.99; commissary grossed $10,298.28 in September 2017; CD account 247 increased $2,041.92, and with accrued interest, the balance is $241,719.18; CD account 977 balance is $100,838.05; sales tax account balance is $625,065.18; operating account balance is $206,689.90; A/R is $361,780.08; A/P is $16,439.80; and the payroll account balance is $10,092.48.

Commissioner Sims made a motion to accept the financial reports, Sheriff Becerra seconded, all ayes, and motion passed.

Mr. Carder discussed training that has been completed, and advised of upcoming training classes.

Digital camera installation has begun, and the attorney room construction is almost complete.

Checks must be signed by at least one board member for auditing purposes.

The bid process is going on right now for employee health insurance for 2018.

Staff and detainees are being offered the flu shot.

The tentative agenda for this meeting included a vote to close part of the meeting pursuant to 610.021; however, a closed session was not needed.

Next board meeting is scheduled for Nov. 30 at 10 a.m.

Present were Daviess County Sheriff Ben Becerra; Daviess County Presiding Commissioner Randy Sims; DeKalb County Sheriff Andy Clark; DeKalb County Presiding Commissioner Harold Allison; Ed Howard, director; Timothy Carder, deputy director; Lori Burke, administrative assistant. Visitors: Jim Baker, investigator.

Charles Allen’s Honor Flight received a firefighter’s salute.

Charles Allen takes memorable trip aboard the Honor Flight

These two are ready to dance & cheer their hearts out! Go Chiefs!

Two area young ladies will join 24 others in their dance group during the half-time show of the Kansas City Chiefs football game at 3:25 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 15. Liberty Perkins, the daughter of Tisha and Luke Perkins of Lock Springs, and Tori Dunks, the daughter of Lupe and Mike Dunks of Jamesport, have been practicing for several weeks and will perform at Arrowhead Stadium during a program taught by the Chiefs Cheerleaders on Sunday.

The Chiefs will play the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Bethany group will cheer along with dozens more Junior Cheerleaders from around the Chiefs nation as they perform a coor-

dinated routine on the field.

“We have the whole thing down,” said Tory. She added that two Chiefs Cheerleaders practiced with the girls earlier at Bethany, and on Oct. 14, all the Junior Cheerleaders will practice with all the Chiefs Cheerleaders on the Arrowhead field.

“We will dance and chant and make an arrowhead formation,” said Liberty.

Both girls attend Tri-County R-7 and are members of the Bethany Dance Studio. The studio teaches ballet, tumbling, hip-hop, tap, and jazz and is an official training studio for the KC Chiefs Junior Cheerleaders.

Charles Allen of rural Daviess County was one of the 54 veterans on the Oct. 5, 2017, Honor Flight to Washington D.C. His son Ryan accompanied him. Charles’ brother, Larry, and Larry’s son, Mike, were also on the trip. Everything for the veteran was free, including meals and snacks.

The job of Ryan and Mike was to serve as “guardians”. Each veteran is required to have a guardian, and the cost is $650 each. The guardian is along to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for the veteran and to attend to the veteran’s needs. If veterans don’t have someone to go with them, the Honor Flight will furnish volunteer guardians.

The veterans met at Kansas City International airport at 4 a.m. for their flight to Arlington, Va. They were greeted at Reagan National Airport by a firefighter’s salute, which was a vigorous spraying by fire trucks.

Once inside the airport, they were met by a band and a long line of well-wishers. They then boarded air-conditioned buses (which, by-the-way, had bathrooms). They were escorted to each destination by Capitol Police. The buses were not re-

quired to stop at traffic lights and other vehicles had to pull over for them.

Their first stop was the WWII Memorial and then the Arlington National Cemetery and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

After the Changing of the Guard, a wreath from the veterans was laid and taps were played. Next were the Korean, Vietnam and Lincoln Memorials on the National Mall. The Air Force Memorial was next, and that was followed by a bus tour of the White House and Pentagon.

On the flight home, the veterans answered “mail call.”

Charles got several cards and letters including one from grandson Carder’s first-grade class.

They arrived back at KCI at 9 p.m. and were greeted by well wishers of all ages that thanked the veterans for their service.

Charles thought the trip was wonderful and would highly recommend it to any veteran.

Contact the Honor Flight Network of Kansas City at 913-683-1369 to sign up for memorable trip.

Charles Allen was accompanied on the Honor Flight trip by his son Ryan.

Legislature passes Foster Care Bill of Rights

by Senator Dan Hegeman Did you know there are more than 13,000 children in Missouri’s foster care system?

While they may come from different backgrounds and have faced different challenges, they’ve all experienced the pain of being separated from their families.

These children deserve to grow up in a safe, loving and nurturing home, and that’s exactly what foster care tries to provide while a child’s biological parents receive the help and services they need to regain custody.

I believe the state has a duty to give kids in our foster care system the ability to have, as much as can be, a normalized childhood and to be involved in the discussions about their future.

In 2016, I sponsored legislation to better achieve these goals.

Although my bill didn’t cross the finish line, I’m pleased to say

this year a different measure to improve the lives of Missouri’s foster children did make it to the governor’s desk and has been signed into law.

Among other provisions, Senate Bill 160 establishes the Foster Care Bill of Rights, which takes particular care to highlight the importance of familial stability and relationships and states that the best interests of the child shall be the first priority of the Children’s Division in all circumstances. It also requires the Children’s Division to work with each child to develop a permanency plan and a case plan within 12 months of the child’s entrance into state custody. The permanency plan includes the child’s immediate and long-term placement goals, while the case plan addresses a child’s specific medical and emotional needs.

In addition, SB 160 allows

foster children who are at least 12 years old to attend any hearings pertaining to their placement, custody or care. This will provide older children with the opportunity to have more direct involvement in the critical decisions impacting their lives. The measure also requires the Foster Care Bill of Rights to be made available to every school-aged foster child and his or her foster parent with an age-appropriate orientation and explanation, as well as posted in every facility or agency involved in the care and placement of foster children.

As always, please feel free to call, email, or write with your ideas or concerns. My Capitol office number is (573) 751-1415, my email is dan.hegeman@senate. mo.gov and my mailing address is Room 332, State Capitol Building, Jefferson City, MO 65101.

Still the Land of Opportunity A tale from yesteryear. The People-of-God were slaves in Egypt. They cried out to god to save them; He did! The people saw God’s hand in the seven plagues; they saw his hand in the parting of the Red Sea and the destruction of Pharoah’s army. Then, God’s people found themselves in the wilderness --a strange land, a harsh land, facing an uncertain future. God had promised them that He would lead them to a “Land of Promise”, Now the people had the opportunity to see God’s promise fulfilled; to follow God’s servant, Moses, to the Promised Land! All well and good --- not so! The people were divided: some chose to go with Moses; others chose to return to slavery in Egypt; some chose to settle down right where they were. Moses led the first group to the very borders of the Promised Land; it took them two years to get there. Now, the people had the opportunity to enter the Promised land and take it for themselves. All well and good --not so! God’s people looked over the Jordon River into the Promised Land --- they saw obstacles instead of opportunities --- they refused to enter the Land of Promise ( except for Joshua &

Caleb & a few who trusted God’s promise). As a result, God condemned them to wander for 38 more years in the wilderness; none of those who refused to enter the Promised Land did--they all died in the wilderness.

They missed the opportunity of a lifetime. Only those who chose to believe God’s promise to them did enter and did take the Promised Land.

Fast-forward to today. God has blessed America! America is the Land of Promise --- the Land of Opportunity. Every person in this great nation has an equal opportunity to conquer, to succeed, to overcome, to live the good life! Irving Kristol writes: “Democracy does not guarantee equality of conditions --- it does guarantee equality of opportunity!” God offers every person an equal opportunity to enjoy a life that if rich & full & satisfying & fulfilling. Yet, like those ancient Israelites, many people today choose to live in slavery. Boss Govt, through a variety of “programs”, strips people of their independence, robs them of their self-respect, takes away their personal responsibility, denies them the blessings of work, and keeps them subservient slaves.

Like those who returned to slavery in Egypt, many people find to easier to let Boss Govt take care of their physical needs, easier to allow Boss Govt make their decisions for them, easier to let Boss Govt pay them not to work. It was Thomas Edison who wrote: “Opportunity is missed by most people because…it looks like work!” Those ancient Israelite took over the Promised Land because they struggled, they worked hard, and they fought to overcome all the obstacles they faced! The easiest way to miss an opportunity is to blame someone else for you situation, to revel in self-pity, and to become too lazy to take advantage of the many opportunities that come your way every day.

America is still the Land of Promise --- the Land of Opportunity! Not everyone starts out at the same place or on the same level; Everyone can, however, reach the same heights of success. The secret is to work hard, study hard, set your Goals high, and strive to make you greatest dreams come true. The opportunity is there!

Aletter of inquiry about Outlaw Johnny Ringo...

Mr. Wilkinson, Thank you for publishing information on the Daviess County Historical Society webpage. The information has given us some great clues to our family history.

I write to you for two reasons.

First, hopefully, this will also provide a few interesting bits of information regarding Gallatin in 1859-1860. Secondly, I am searching for information on Isaac Naylor, who eventually assumed the name Edward Minor, because I believe that Isaac is my wife’s second great-grandfather.

On your website concerning the early days of Gallatin, you included the statement that, “Census and real estate records confirm that [Johnny] Ringo once lived here.”

It seems that the Ringo family, including young Johnny at age 11, lived just two houses away from Sheriff J.J. Minor (see lines 9 and 21 from the attached page from the 1860 Census).

You may have already known this fact, but I found it fascinating. The image of this page may

be interesting to include in your article.

Certainly, the Sheriff knew the young and future outlaw. It appears that the Sheriff lived there until at least July 1863.

Regarding Isaac Naylor, my theory is that he was adopted soon after birth (b. 6 Jan 1859) by the Minors, sometime between late February 1859 and early June 1860. Our research shows that his birth mother, Charlotte

Willis Naylor, passed away 22 Feb 1859 when Isaac was about 6 weeks old.

Isaac is then living in the Minor house by June 1860 (line 24 of the 1860 census page). Isaac later assumes the name Edward Isaac Minor by the time of the next census in 1870, when the family is living in Cañon City, CO. My question is, what resources are available to help me test this theory (other than genetic testing)? Are there resources available in Daviess County that could help us? I’d appreciate any assistance or hints you can provide.

Thank you, Jason Thomas, Klein, TX

Editor’s note: We are grateful for the digital image of the census page provided by Mr. Thomas, now added to www.DaviessCountyHistoricalSociety.com; the article about Johnny Ringo was published in this newspaper in 1992. Mr. Klein’s further inquiries are being forwarded to others, such as the Daviess County Geneological Society. Information any reader might share would be appreciated.

Surrounded by angels

by Freida Marie Crump

Greetings from Poosey.

In Lincoln’s First Inaugural Address he made an effort to soothe the hatred in the South and appease the anger of the North when he said, “…we are not enemies, but friends ...though passion may have strained it must not break our bonds of affection….”

Then he appealed to what he called “The better angels of our nature.”

In what seems like an unending season of crisis, terrorism, war, economic uncertainty, and a changing world order, we would do well to remember how we are all blessed whenever the better angels of our nature come fluttering down …in this case nearly a half mile beneath the earth’s surface. Like receiving an unexpected gift from a long-lost uncle, we …the world …once gathered around our television sets and computers to watch the rescue of the 33 Chilean miners (this tragedy occurred in October, 2010).

From the first note scribbled onto a probe, “We are fine in the shelter, the 33 of us,” to the lifting of the final rescue worker from the shaft, our little planet spent 69 days hoping and praying that the better angels would win out.

As one miner put it, “I was with God and the devil. And I reached out for God.” The miners The Poosey Digest describes a warmly familiar but spent their mythical place.

One miner said, “I buried 40 years of my life down thee, and I’m gong to live a lot longer to be a new person.” The better angels were working overtime.

Of course, there was the predictable silliness to accompany any event getting that much attention. CNN did its giddy schoolgirl reporting, offers both strange and wonderful came in from around the world from lawyers, agents, and book publishers, and there is no doubt a made-for-TV movie already in the works. But the gist of what happened …33 men living a world away from us grabbed our attention and held our hearts. A much-fractioned world waited and hoped as one. The better angels were winning.

Perhaps we in the U.S. had the greatest need for this angelic display as we sat bombarded by the nastiest pre-election blitz of blather in recent years. For once you could almost stand to listen to the news, tolerating the political ads by knowing that 15 more minutes another miner would be raised to the surface. Angel time.

Let’s be honest… when things seem to be going terribly bad, we are tempted to question our own goodness. When the bullying in the schoolyard matures to full-blown nastiness in politics, religion, and culture, we might ask ourselves if there’s enough simple goodness in us to survive this mess. Then an angel in the form of a U.S. mining engineer arrives to advise the rescue efforts. A drill operator from Denver appears on the scene along with a team from Pennsylvania ...then groups from Peru, Canada and Australia. Whoosh… another angel scatters the dust of the Chilean desert. NASA helps devise a capsule to bring the trapped men to the surface and the space agency’s dieticians begin planning a nutrition regime for the miners. Ears well tuned to spiritual matters must have heard the flutter in the air over the San Jose Mine.

Theologians have longed been puzzled about how the virile, butt-kicking angels from the scriptures have somehow morphed into the Precious Moments cherubs that fly their naked little bums around the edges of Hallmark cards. It seems that at least in Chile the angels wear hard hats, hug fearful wives, and drink tequila.

Lincoln’s “better angels” were not dead, just on hiatus I guess.

Not looking a thing like the bed-sheeted seraphs stumbling around the back edges of church Nativity scenes, they came in the form burly drillers, white-coated lab technicians, hopeful grandmothers, and a world on its knees. Their messages were welcomed by a worry-torn world… “Drill here” and “Send down the broadcast of a soccer game” and “Keep the men active” and “Pray for each other.” And, perhaps most importantly, “Don’t give up on yourself or your fellow man. You’re surrounded by angels.” It’s as true now as it was back then.

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

Business regulated by the inexperienced or unelected This fall, a story broke that has reminded me of the long history and complexities involving state government regulation of businesses and professions. The story, by my colleague Kurt Erickson at the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, uncovered a state administration proposal to merge some environmental protection agencies.

Environmental regulation has a long history of business complaints about costs and time-consuming processes versus arguments by environmentalists and consumer protection advocates about the public benefits from government oversight.

Many years ago, the legislature expanded the state’s environmental regulatory rules to enforce federal requirements.

Proponents argued state agencies would be more responsive and swifter to act than the feds in dealing with Missouri businesses. This environmental controversy is just one part of a much broader debate about state regulation of businesses and professions that has been continuing for decades.

For some professions, state regulation has an obvious pub-

lic health and safety purpose – such as medical and engineering professions. Consumer advocates have complained, however, that these boards are dominated by the professions they regulate, making the boards reluctant to expose or discipline misconduct by members of their own professions.

In response, the legislature added a “lay” member who is independent of the board’s profession. But the professions still dominate the memberships of licensing boards.

For some professions, there is not always an obvious public safety issue. For example, there’s a board that licenses and regulates professional landscape architects and another for professional interior designers.

Reading these requirements, I’ve wondered whether choosing wall colors or where to place garden plants is just a matter of personal taste that was not the government’s business – whether or not the practitioners included the term “professional” in their titles.

dead like the bristlecone pines near the Sierra timberline.

My wife, however, is an EastCoast gal who wants the trees and shrubs in our yard neatly trimmed.

Capitol Perspectives

It’s no secret in the statehouse that some laws regulating who can practice under the name of a profession are driven by the professions themselves.

Licensing reduces competition and also benefits private, for-profit schools that offer the courses required for licenses.

Years ago, former Rep. Chris Kelly, D-Columbia, promptly asked to be removed from the House Licensing Committee in his first year after he learned about an aspect of the assignment.

I grew up in the West. I love gnarled trees that appear half-

tributions to members from the professions affected by bills assigned to the committee.

In recent years, yet another complexity has been added to this issue – one involving race.

Missouri law regulates and licenses barbers. For more than a decade, some Black Caucus legislators have sought to exempt or ease requirements for hair braiders. It’s raised the question about the public safety benefits of licensing those who cut hair, since so many of us now cut our own hair. But a legislative supporter of barber licensing once told me that there are health issues such as identification and dealing with scalp diseases.

Debate over which professions should be regulated by government is a national issue that has been going on in state legislatures across the country for years.

It’s that time of the year — Medicare Open Enrollment.

Now is the time for Medicare beneficiaries to compare their current Medicare Prescription Drug (Part D) Plan to the plans available for 2018.

The open enrollment period is Oct. 15 through Dec. 7, and any changes will take place Jan. 1. There are 24 Part D plans available to Missouri residents for 2018 which includes one brand new plan. The lowest monthly premium is $20.40; the least expensive “no deductible” plan is $24.10 per month.

We urge all Medicare Part D beneficiaries, caretakers, and family members to make sure this annual comparison gets done. It doesn’t take much time, but it could save a sub-

Rural broadband posed for success

by D an Cassidy

It’s exciting to talk about an issue where the stars seem to have aligned, momentum is building and there is genuine optimism among rural Missourians. Imagine an issue where government is a player but success will be achieved only if the private sector sees themselves as partners.

Missouri Congressman Jason Smith recently hosted a meeting highlighting efforts to make high-speed, affordable broadband available to people regardless of whether they reside in West Plains or Westport.

The comments of his special guest, Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman Ajit Pai, should go viral. A native of Parsons, Kan., (population 10,500) Chairman Pai embraced his rural roots and called for a comprehensive plan to promote broadband for all Americans.

He indicated his first speech to FCC employees noted his desire to address the “digital divide” where winners and losers are determined based on where they live. His comments came across as heartfelt, and he listened intently to the stories of area residents who are benefit-

ing from access to broadband and the missed opportunities of those in areas where it is unavailable.

The group heard of area medical facilities using broadband to promote telehealth, farmers using the technology to take advantage of precision agriculture and rural electric cooperatives that have taken out large loans to expand broadband service to members. Missouri Director of Agriculture Chris Chinn shared her daughter’s disappointment when she returned home from college where connectivity is excellent to find poor cell and internet service. A local official shared a compelling story of losing potential manufacturers due to the lack of reliable, highspeed broadband.

Chairman Pai seems to recognize the stakes are high.

He likened the situation to the 1930s when President Roosevelt called for the electrification of rural America. It was an enormous but necessary task, a situation not unlike what we face today. Chairman Pai recognized progress will not come easily and depends on tools that include the availability of federal funding and regulatory reform.

The possibility of a large infrastructure package and support of measures allowing access to existing infrastructure will no doubt speed the process.

At the state level, representatives of virtually all entities involved in the broadband discussion met in July to begin developing a digital road map. Sen. Roy Blunt, Gov. Eric Greitens, Missouri Farm Bureau President Blake Hurst, University of Missouri Vice Chancellor for Extension and Engagement Dr. Marshall Stewart, Association of Missouri Electric Cooperatives President Barry Hart and Missouri Telecommunications Industry Association President Ric Telthorst came together to promote access to affordable broadband during a press conference at the Missouri State Fair.

Unfortunately, reliable cellular and broadband service is still not available in some rural areas. But we’re on the right track, and all Missourians will benefit from the ongoing efforts of our elected, industry and academic leaders.

the legislation. If the goal is to reduce regulations imposed on Missourians by unelected bureaucrats, one could argue that repealing term limits might restore to the legislature members with the expertise to incorporate those rules into the laws they pass.

The legislature does have power to repeal administrative rules. But, with term limits, I’ve sensed that lawmakers no longer fully understand the breadth of their oversight authority and how to effectively exercise those powers.

This history suggests a complicated and fascinating debate if Gov. Eric Greitens brings before the Missouri legislature next year his efforts to streamline administrative rule-making.

In Missouri, term limits are a factor in this national debate.

With a legislature composed of members with less experience in crafting bills, there’s been a trend to pass bills that give agencies broad rule-making powers to define and enforce

What’s New for Missouri’s 2018 Medicare Part D Prescription Drug Plans Every year Medicare beneficiaries have a chance to change coverage during the Medicare Annual Enrollment Period. This open enrollment is a time when people can change their Medicare Prescription Drug (Part D) plans. Medicare open enrollment begins October 15 and ends December 7.

In 2018, Missouri residents will see 24 Medicare prescription drug plans with one brand new plan choice. Every plan has made changes, and it is wise to compare your current coverage to the choices available to you in 2018. Review your plan’s Annual Notice of Change (or ANOC) letter to see what changes your plan will have in 2018.

Of the 24 plans available in Missouri, five will have lower premiums, and 15 will have an increase. Monthly Part D plan premiums will range from approximately $20 to $152.

Additionally, nine plans will offer coverage while in the coverage gap or “donut hole” beyond the standard generic and name brand drug discounts.

You should check to see if your medication is covered during the coverage gap since not all drugs are covered in the donut hole– even by a plan with additional

coverage. For 2018, even if your Medicare Part D plan has no gap coverage, you still get the drug discount of 56% on standard generic drugs and 65% on name brand drugs.

Missouri Medicare beneficiaries who qualify for full “Extra Help” will find the same four Part D plans qualify for the $0 premium Low-Income Subsidy in 2018.

To pick the best plan, you should add up all possible costs, including monthly premiums, co-pays, coinsurance, and deductibles, so you’re clear about what your total spending could be for a given year. The comparison can be completed on Medicare’s website at www.medicare. gov or you may call 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227) for more information. For a $15 fee, the Active Aging Resource Center also has a worksheet that is easy to complete and has all the information needed to do an unbiased comparison of your current plan’s estimated costs for 2018, as well as check for other options that may save you money.

Hannah Hartman reaches for the stars after first trying out children’s theater What started as a fun-filled acting try-out on a local stage has led an aspiring young lady to pursue her passion for the performing arts.

Hannah Hartman, 15, of Jamesport was nominated to a theatrical school after first performing in the “Jungle Book” play presented by Missoula Children’s Theater at Courter Theater in Gallatin last summer.

Hannah was invited by staff of the tour group to further her acting skills at Next Step Prep performing arts boarding school at the Missoula Children’s Theatre headquarters in Missoula, Mont. She attended from June 19 to July 28, 2017.

Competition for the school is intense. Hannah was selected after sending in an essay, a monologue on video, and an audition video in which she sang “On My Own” from Les Miserables.

Hannah said she gained extensive exposure to three forms of performing arts during the school.

“I was able to learn from other more experienced performers, while gaining my own experience,” she said. “It was an amazing learning environment and the staff was super supportive.”

Hannah said her strength is acting, followed by singing, and then dance. She enjoyed learning dance skills at the program and would like to study dance further.

She’d also like to learn to play the violin in the future.

Hannah has been in several plays at the Gallatin Theater and Chillicothe Theater. She attended a small camp in Utah for a

week during an acting workshop.

Hannah is home schooled and said the long boarding school routine was daunting at first.

“Homeschooling is more flexible and the traditional schedule took some getting used to,” she said.

She received a scholarship to be able to attend and said financial support is available for students who need the help.

Hannah takes her acting seriously and is looking forward to studying the performing arts in college and then as a career.

In the meantime, she works at her parent’s, Brent and Amanda Hartman, BBQ Depot in Jamesport and enjoys playing videos and reading.

She said, “It was a really good experience overall and I’d like to do it again next year, if I am accepted.”

After 20 years of serving the citizens of Missouri, Janet Hackert is retiring from the University of Missouri Extension. Janet is a Nutrition and Health Education Specialist who has spent the last 17 years in Harrison County.

Her final day will be October 18.

During her time with the University of Missouri Extension, Janet has hosted countless classes and meetings on food preservation, health and wellness, nutrition for all ages and fitness.

An open house will be held on Monday, Oct. 16, to honor Janet for all of her years of service.

Anyone who would like to wish Janet well is invited to stop by the Harrison County Extension office anytime between 8 a.m. and 12 noon or 1 to 4:30 p.m. on that day. Feel free to stop by and chat with Janet.

Midgets shock Bulldogs with last minute, 70-yard TD pass Gallatin’s defense came up with two big stops in the fourth quarter, but a third stand eluded the Bulldogs in the final minute.

The Putnam County Midgets wrote an improbable ending to Friday night’s back-and-forth battle by converting a fourth and 19 with 1:11 left into a 70-yard, game-winning touchdown pass completion.

The Bulldogs’ loss dropped them to 5-2 in the Grand River Conference and assured Princeton, now 7-0 in the league, an outright league title, regardless of this Friday’s results.

Circumstances worked against the Bulldogs, even before the game started. All-state kicker Adrian Hernandez was diagnosed earlier in the week with a torn quadriceps muscle. With Gallatin clinging to a 28-24 lead, Hernandez watched in frustration as a Bulldog drive fizzled at the Midget 19-yard line with 2:22 remaining on the clock. A field goal would have perhaps put a different slant on the ending.

Gallatin grabbed an early 8-0 lead when Cole McBee capped a long drive with a 4-yard scoring run. McBee was able to bull over for the two-point conversion.

Putnam County’s offensive unit began the game the way they ended it. Facing 4th down and 23 yards to go for a first down, the Midgets were able to score through the air when the primary receiver on the left side of the formation fell, caus-

ing the quarterback Levi Fowler to scramble. Bulldog defenders lost touch with Tyler Roof deep in the middle of the field and he hauled in the 27-yard strike in the end zone. The conversion pass tied the game at 8-8.

As he has done all season, Colin Beck got the Bulldogs out of a hole with a 56-yard punt to the Midget 9-yard line. A quick three and out resulted in field position for Gallatin on the PC 40.

Drawing the carry on 4th and 5, Caleb Boyd appeared to be stopped at the line of scrimmage, but he kept his legs churning and dodged his way to the corner pylon on a 35-yard scoring run.

The conversion try failed.

A holding penalty nullified another Boyd TD run late in the second quarter and the Midgets were able to set up another score before the end of the half.

Fowler threw up a jump ball and Carson Quint made the catch in the end zone with 31 seconds left in the first half, giving Putnam County a 16-14 lead.

The Midgets took a two-possession lead on the first play from scrimmage in the second half when Quint took a hand-off 80-yards and then threw a twopoint conversion pass to Payne Pfeiffer, but the Bulldogs had an answer.

Gallatin’s offensive line blew big holes for the ground game, spearheaded by Boyd, Toney and McBee. Toney capped the ensuing drive with a 6-yard run, closing the scoring gap to 24-20.

A 34-yard pass from McBee to Gaven Gray put the Bulldogs on the path to another score and 2824 lead to open the fourth period.

A personal foul on the Midgets helped move the ball into the red zone. Boyd packed for 6 yards and McBee kept his feet churning and fell into the end zone for the go-ahead score. Boyd ran over left side for the conversion.

The Midgets came up empty on two subsequent drives, with

the second ending on a Gray interception, but Gallatin would come up empty after driving down to the Midget 9-yard line before losing ground on a counter play.

A final GHS defensive stand began well. Cole broke up a long pass on 3rd and 10 from the PC 27, but Quint broke two tackles down the sideline for a first down on Gallatin 38. Tight coverage broke up a first-down pass attempt. Rains sacked Fowler for a sizeable loss on second down.

Boyd broke up a pass attempt down the field on third down.

Fowler received just enough time to throw to Grant Sands, who hauled in the pass close to the first down marker, eluded a would-be tackler and dashed up the sideline for the winning score.

Gallatin travels to Trenton on Friday to close out the regular season, hoping to repeat last season’s outcome of a victory over the black and gold Bulldogs.

Tom C rouse and J onathan C arder team up to make a stop.

Patrick M cNickle pressured M idget quarterback Lev i Fowler into making a bad throw.

Lady Bulldogs crush district softball with hitting - pitching - advance Lady Bulldog pitcher Karley Salmon gave up six hits in two games, allowed no runs and got all the offensive support she needed, and then some, as Gallatin easily swept through the Class 1, District 12 softball tournament to advance to today’s (Wednesday) sectional at Canton against the host team.

Canton, 16-5, defeated Scotland County, 6-2, to earn the District 11 title on Monday. Three of the Lady Tigers’ losses have come to Monroe City. Gallatin, 10-14, is one of nine teams in Class 1 that return to the final 16 bracket.

Top-seeded Gallatin blasted #5 Green City, 15-0, on Thursday, using a 12-run second inning to put the game out of reach early. GHS hitting stars were many as the Lady Bulldogs drove the ball hard for four extra base hits, including Essie Williamson’s first home run of the season.

Gallatin’s offensive barrage over three innings included: Aubrey Feiden, 2-for-2 with two walks, an rbi and run scored; Caragan Baker, one run and one rbi; Courtney Shubert, double, run and two rbi; Salmon, 2-for-3 with a double, two runs scored and an rbi; Addison Burns, double, two runs and an rbi; Maelea Coulson, single, run scored and two rbi; Williamson, homer, two runs and two rbi; and Hayley Michael, 2-for-2 with two runs and an rbi.

Salmon allowed three hits while fanning three batters.

Lady Bulldog bats took up where they left off on Friday, with a six-run second inning and four-run fourth that brought the game to a halt after five innings.

Gallatin needed only six timely hits, three walks and four opposing

errors to subdue Linn County, 11-0, in the district championship game.

Feiden led the hit parade with two singles, two runs batted in and three runs scored. Baker and Shubert each drove in a pair of runs with hits.

Salmon and Burns each hit safely and drove in runs. Baker, Salmon, Burns, Coulson, Williamson and Hayley Michael all scored. Jerilynn Hoover and Maddison Michael both scored as courtesy runners.

Salmon struck out nine, did not walk a batter and scattered three hits across five innings.

Gallatin landed five players on the Class 1, All-District 12 honor squad.

Salmon, pitcher, and Kelsey Maxwell, catcher, were the top pitcher/ catcher battery from the tourney.

Baker was named one of six infielders on the honor squad. Feiden and Courtney Shubert made up twothirds of the outfield honorees.

Garrett Dungy to discuss challenges, hope of Honduras at Gallatin Baptist Garrett Dungy, 12, a seventh grader at Gallatin Middle School, will give a follow-up presentation to the congregation of First Baptist Church on Sunday, Oct. 15, to describe the time he spent on a mission trip to Honduras with Teen Missions International.

Garrett was part of Teen Mission International based out of Merritt Island, Fla. from June 20 to July 28 with 16 other preteens and several team leaders.

He visited the impoverished Central American country from July 2– July 23. His home church at Gallatin First Baptist paid for much of the expenses of the trip, and Garrett worked at odd jobs to earn the rest of the funds.

Before travelling to Honduras, Garrett attended a two-week boot camp at Merritt Island, Fla. to prepare him for life on the mission field.

“We put all we learned at boot camp into practice,” Garrett says. Those lessons included washing clothes in a bucket and taking rainwater showers.

Classes on drama, singing and puppetry were employed in actual situations when the team went out to evangelize, mostly to children.

Garrett and the team spent three weeks in Honduras. The gregarious Garrett was chosen by team members to do the preaching. He preached five sermons during his time in Honduras when they would evangelize in towns and do their presentations to churches. He learned to appreciate the Bible in a new way and even discovered a few more favorite passages.

Garrett found the people of Honduras warm and welcoming as they greeted him and the team members like old friends.

Garrett put his back into part of a ‘chain gang’ which repaired a road to the Teen Missions Honduras base. The Teen Missions Base, where the team was staying and working on the road, is a Bible missionary work

training center associated with Teen Mission International. The Bible, Missionary & Work Training Center trains missionaries.

Those who attend can graduate and go right into the mission field. The team was also able to relax a couple of days to see the sights and to visit a private school. They got to see the Pulhapanzak waterfall, which he and many team members zip lined over.

“Honduras is very beautiful, but I was very sad to see the poverty that the people live in,”

October 11, 2017 A ssembl y of G od The adult class referred to Jesus’ healing event on the Sabbath and his dealing with the temple critics. Clyde Lint revealed how manmade traditions can interfere with God’s plan to meet a need.

The church service began with all joining in singing “Jesus Set Me Free.” The congregation honored Pastor Smith with a gift and special prayer on pastor appreciation day. The people were encouraged to help support the local Backpack Program. Ina McFee gave a report about our missionary giving as we collected this week’s offerings.

Tim Johnson received the current prayer requests and encouraged everyone to agree for the answer. Some went forward to be anointed with oil for special needs.

Zoe Smith and Mona Roberts led the singing and worship which included “I Would Not Be Denied.”

Pastor Smith’s message was “A Victory March.” His text was from Joshua 6.

CRMC to sponsor 15th annual health fair on Oct. 14 Preparations for Cameron Regional Medical Center’s 15th Annual Health Fair are well underway; and, judging by the number of calls being received at the medical center, the special wellness event is being greatly anticipated by many area residents.

As in past years, a comprehensive selection of free medical services will be offered.

The health fair, under the guise of a carnival theme, will be hosted by the CRMC Foundation and will be held Saturday, October 14, from 8:00 until 11:00 a.m.

According to Warren McElwain, CRMC board president, “The CRMC Board of Directors and the CRMC Foundation Board of Directors both feel this is one of the most important events the medical center can sponsor.” He further stated, “Over the past 14 years, many people have truly been helped by these free screenings that are offered to the public on an annual basis.”

Health fair participants should take note that the traffic flow for this year’s event will again start in the orthopedic & rehab center.

Attendees may park at the south end of the CRMC campus, but should note there is construction activity in this area. Participants are urged to proceed with caution, as there is a section of one-way traffic involved.

Registration will take place in the waiting room of the orthopedic & rehab center, and lab testing will take place in the adjacent physical therapy department.

“As part of the medical center’s community benefit efforts, we will once again be offering extensive testing and services intended to improve the wellbeing of area residents,” indicated Joseph F. Abrutz, Jr., CRMC administrator. “We truly hope people will come out and take advantage of these free services.”

During the course of Saturday morning, various tests, medical screenings, and counseling services will be provided to the public at no charge. A broad panel of lab tests will include anemia, blood sugar, thyroid, cholesterol panel, iron, GFR, and BUN/ creatinine. Participants are encouraged to fast after midnight to facilitate accurate lab results.

A kidney function screening for urine protein will also be available, as will glucose testing and

diabetes education.

Several physicians will be participating in this year’s event: Joel Waxman, M.D., ear, nose & throat (ENT), will provide oral cavity cancer screenings; Nancy Gasparovic, D.P.M., will once again be providing podiatry screenings; and education on women’s health will be available from Daut Gjoni, M.D., obstetrician/gynecologist. In addition, Dawn Estes, family nurse practitioner, will provide education on the pneumonia vaccine and shingles.

“The CRMC medical staff highly encourages area residents to attend the health fair,” indicated Fred Kiehl, D.O., CRMC chief of staff. “This represents an inexpensive and convenient opportunity to receive education on various topics, find out if there is an issue requiring further medical attention, and/or to monitor an existing condition.”

Always one of the more popular stations, abdominal aortic aneurysm screenings will once again be available in radiology.

CRMC’s physical therapy department will conduct balance testing, which is made possible by a new equipment system donated by the CRMC foundation.

Flu vaccinations will be available to those over 18 years of age, with third-party payors being billed. Self-pay patients can receive the flu vaccine for a minimal charge of $25.00; however, all other testing services are being provided at no cost to the public.

Numerous door prizes will be given away during the event, and a total of eight drawings will be held for free bone densitometry studies (3), carotid studies (3), and calcium scorings (2).

Refreshments will be served in the private dining room.

Many educational exhibits will be in place during the health fair, including information on stroke awareness, COPD/sleep disorders, low-level laser, and mental health. Representatives of the Cameron Ambulance District, Cameron YMCA, and the Green Hills Domestic Violence Shelter will also be present.

Mary Burrows, R.N., and Laura Klug, C.N.A., serve as cochairwomen for the event, with CRMC staff members manning the various testing/screening stations. CRMC ambassadors

The deadline to register is Nov. 10, and the fee per child is $30 before November 10. The registration fee provides a t-shirt and participant insurance. Games will be played

on Sunday afternoons during January and February in Trenton.

GHRA youth basketball is open to children four years of age to the sixth grade and consists of boys and girls teams from the communities of the Green Hills region.

Boys and girls who are residents of Grundy County will be placed in a draft for teams. Communities outside of Grundy County may form their own teams to facilitate practices locally and reduce travel. Children outside of Grundy County can request to be included in the draft.

All players will be responsible for having a regulation size basketball and indoor gym shoes to participate in the league. Please see registration form for more details.

For any family that may be un-

able to pay the registration fee, GHRA provides registration fee scholarships to help eligible youth participate in sports programs through GHRA. This scholarship provides assistance to youth from low-income families, and all scholarship funds come from donations made to GHRA. Please complete the scholarship application at http://bit.ly/ghra16 or email greenhillsrecreation@gmail.com for further information.

GHRA is a nonprofit organization that provides sports and other recreational activities for the region. GHRA is organized by a volunteer-based board with a mission to foster community relations and youth involvement through the love of sports and teamwork.

Railroad

PHOTO BY HUBERT LONG, GALLATIN The impact of the railroad in the development of rural America cannot be overstated. Nearly all towns in Daviess County were built around railroad depots. Transportation for developing commerce depended on trains, both to ship farm products and livestock out as well as to bring manufactured goods and products here. Trains impacted the very fabric of every community, bringing national figures like William Jennings Bryan here or delivering disadvantaged children from the cities seeking opportunities in rural Midwest small towns via the “Orphan Trains.” And in 2017, railroads still impact decisions here as Daviess County seeks ways to replace bridges on low-traffic roads using railroad flat cars.

The influence of railroads here began soon after the Civil War. By 1869 a narrow-gauge railroad called the Chicago Southwestern was rolling through Daviess County. Then in 1898 the Rock Island took over, making Altamont the site of the largest coal shoot between Kansas City and Chicago. The Rock Island built 13 houses for railroad workers, several of which still stand and are in use at Altamont. Meanwhile, the Omaha & Chillicothe Railroad was in operation in 1871, putting “Pattonsburgh” on the map in northwest Daviess County.

Gallatin’s prominence was fueled in no small way by being the crossroads of two railroads. The impact of rail commerce led to the relocation of a college from Edinburg, MO, to Gallatin (1893-1918). Nationally known McDonald Tea Room built its reputation by attracting traveling salesmen who then lauded the restaurant’s fare across the country. The stopover at Gallatin allowed vaudeville from Chicago one last dress rehearsal before performing for audiences at Kansas City – much to the delight of Gallatin folks hungry for live entertainment at local meeting halls.

The Rock Island depot at Winston has survived because it was turned into a community museum by the Winston Historical Society. Railroad tracks bisecting the county were torn out during the early 1970s; the last Rock Island train came through in March, 1973. Other depots are now non-existent or in a state of slow decay. Of all the water tanks, coaling docks, depots, tunnels and turntables built to support the rail lines, only one track is still active here today – the Chicago Rock Island & Pacific near Lock Springs in the extreme southeast corner of Daviess County.

Just south of the county on this same line is the newly constructed 110-car shuttle-loader grain storage facility, built by MFA Incorporated and MFA Oil Company. The new facility, capable of handling 14 million bushels of grain annually, opened in 2017. It provides direct access to the Union Pacific Railroad and Highway 36 to I-35.

FRANK & JESSE JAMES

Winston Depot the Scene of 1881 Robbery, Murder This is the Rock Island train depot in Winston, MO, where James Gang members embarked in order to pull off their 1881 robbery. The depot was built in 1871 on a high point in Daviess County, halfway between Gallatin and Cameron. The first station agent was T.F. Jefferies, a native of Somersetshire, England. Two sets of tracks fronted the depot and were used for switching cars while a set of siding tracks ran behind the depot.

Today the Winston depot lives on as a community museum developed and maintained by the Winston Historical Society. It displays James Gang legend and lore on the authentic site where the 1881 train robbery commenced. The depot stands at the south edge of Winston, at the junction of Highway 69 and Route Y. This railroad stone culvert, located east of Winston, MO, can still be seen today. It is commonly associated with the James Gang robbery of a Rock Island train in 1881 even though its construction actually postdates the infamous robbery and murder. Before this, a wooden trestle was used instead of this huge stone arch. (photo date unknown)

“Once I interviewed a Gallatin lady whose husband worked for the railroad during the Great Depression.

During these years the railroads were one of the main sources of public transportation. Most railroads operated with three shifts, seven days a week. As the severe drought lingered and both farmers and workers had fewer dollars to spend, the railroads were used less and less. Railroad workers began to lose their jobs — they were “bumped,” meaning the newer employed workers lost out to those with more seniority. Many workers lived in old railroad cars in disrepair. The inside walls weren’t plastered and dust often filtered inside. These cars were set in yards located about approximately 30 feet from the tracks. In some parts of the country, obtaining water was difficult even in normal times. People had unsuccessfully tried to drill for water. To solve the water problem, water was often shipped into town by the use of a large railroad tank car. Workers, in turn, packed the water they needed into their “boxcar” houses.” — Wilbur Bush, Gallatin

DAVIESS COUNTY, MISSOURI

3

Jackson Switch... Blake...

Perhaps no railroad impacted North Missouri more than the Hannibal-St. Joseph Railroad, located just south of Daviess County. The railroad anchored the east end of the Pony Express at St. Joseph, and changed many commerce routes by horse-drawn freight wagon not just in Daviess County but through out the entire region.

Shipping livestock...

V ery little land in northern and northWherever trains rolled, eastern Daviess County was purchased com munities developed by private owners before 18 5 0 . Most of the ...or were obliterated. better land in the county was sold under the P re-emption A ct of 18 4 1 for $ 1.25 per acre, or donated to help develop the railroads.

The last recorded cattle drive from Daviess County occurred in 18 4 9. Railroad shipping greatly impacted the agricultural economy here. N .B . ( P ole) B rown became a great cattle shipper when the railroads came. B rown is reported to have shipped 2,0 0 0 carloads of cattle during 18 7 0 -18 8 0 .

In 18 8 0 he shipped 4 0 0 carloads of cattle from Daviess, Harrison, Gentry and N odaway counties. Since one carload held 4 0 head of cattle, B rown would have shipped 16 ,0 0 0 head of cattle during this one year.

Once about halfway between Jamesport and Gallatin, Jackson Switch was renamed as Blake when the Chicago & Southwestern Railroad designated it as a flag station for its passengers.

Pattonsburgh... Elm Flat...

About 1835 Matthew Patton built the first water-mill in Benton Twp. on Big Creek. Patton Mill later changed to Pattonsburgh. The spite of a railroad official, in charge of the 1871 construction of the Omaha & Chillicothe Railroad, doomed the town when the tracks skirted the river bottoms to arrive at high ground three miles to the southeast. The tracks then illogically turned back south to end on the bank of Big Creek in a low, undesirable site thickly covered with elm trees. A boxcar depot was erected, named Elm Flat.

Businesses followed the railroad and thus the name “Pattonsburgh” was removed on the map.

Boxtown...

In 1825 business coming up the river from Brunswick created a trading center on Lick Fork Creek at a grist mill called Boxtown in Harrison Twp. But then the Hannibal & St. Joseph Railroad laid tracks just two miles to the south, eliminating Boxtown’s future.

Old Greasy...

For over 40 years the settlement between Springhill in Livingston County and Mill Port in Daviess County was known as Old Greasy. In 1871, the St. Louis & Omaha Railroad bypassed this settlement, making way for the rapid development of Lock Springs.

Victoria...

This Jefferson Twp. community, named for the English queen, saw its trade diverted when the Hannibal & St. Joseph Railroad was built. Victoria ceased to exist as early as 1880.

Special Trains: When interest warranted, the railroads would announce special trains scheduled for specific purposes. O ne exa mple occurred in 18 8 6 when 19-year-old convicted murderer Joe Jump was exe cuted, the first u ic ha i i a iess ou t M . his attracte a hu e cro estimate et ee a eo e the oc s a ra s ecia trai s to a ati for the e efit of s ectators. rai cars ca e see ehi the sca o i ma authe tic hotos of the ha i . o ee s ater the ha i of um s accomplice, John Smith, attracted a crowd of witnesses estimated between 8 ,0 0 0 and 10 ,0 0 0 people.

Bancroft...

Located in Lincoln Twp. in northeast Daviess County, this town gave way to Gilman City about 1890 when tracks for the Omaha & Quincy Railroad were laid just a mile away.

Determining (finally) what was wrong Jordan met with Dr. Keeler during February and March. She came to the conclusion that both of his femurs, or thigh bones, were rotated inward. The right was worse than the left. The right tibia, or shin bone, was rotated outward, or everted, causing his right foot to go out. His right femur and right tibia were rotated in opposite directions.

“That’s why I was hurting so bad; I had one bone turned in and one bone turned out,” said Jordan.

“And a very angry knee,” his mother added.

The diagnosis was a relief for the whole family.

“We’d known for years, all of us, that something was not right, but we couldn’t get anybody to tell us what was wrong,” said Jenny.

That other doctors weren’t able to see the problem makes Jordan “kind of mad.”

Sorting options to reach a tough decision The doctor told them about the surgery to correct the problem and gave Jordan an option. He could have one leg done at a time or both at once. It was Jordan’s decision to make. He decided to have both done at the same time.

“I wanted to get it over with as soon as possible, so I could be a kid again,” he said.

On March 28 he had the surgery for his “magic legs” at Children’s Mercy.

Jordan had a right tibial derotation. During this procedure, surgeons cut the tibia, or shinbone, rotated it 25 degrees, and put in a plate and screws.

He had both right and left femoral derotation osteotomies. The surgical team cut the femurs or thigh bones, and rotated them to the proper position and put in rods that extend from the upper knee to the hip, held by screws. His femurs were rotated 15 degrees for the left and 25 degrees for the right.

After the surgery, Dr. Keeler told the family that she saw a dramatic difference and his bones lined up great.

Jordan’s x- rays

REAL ESTATE A CTI NS

GALLATIN PUBLISHING COMPANY

Jordan Donovan, 13, an eighth grader at Gallatin

Middle School, has been plagued with a mysterious condition his whole life. He’s a healthy, active, energetic kid, but he had an awkward way of walking and was never really able to run, or to keep up with the other kids when foot racing.

“I’ve had pain ever since I can remember,” he says.

The pain was in his feet and knee.

He’s seen many, many doctors since he was five years old. He’s had numerous x-rays, from his hips to his toes.

His bones weren’t completely on the straight and narrow, but doctors were not overly concerned. Pigeon toes, bowlegs, knock-knees and duckfeet are all common in children and self-correct with age.

Doctors recommended he run and ride horses to strengthen his hip and pelvic muscles and wear insoles in his shoes for his flat feet.

Jordan took different physical therapies and signed up for Tae Kwon Do. He went out for football and began lifting weights. The upper body strength he gained from the exercise would prove useful later in the year.

“Doctors said he had growing pains and would outgrow the awkwardness, and his bones would straighten themselves out; but that didn’t happen,” said his mother Jenny.

By October of last year, Jordan could hardly bear weight on his right leg and knee.

“Every time I took a step, it was like a double-bladed knife between my bones and in my knees,” Jordan said.

The pain would get worse as the day progressed.

He was sitting out of physical education classes and had other issues at school.

That went on through January of this year. In February, it all came crumbling down. Jordan couldn’t even stand up. His parents, Jenny and Jeff, decided to get more aggressive. They switched doctors.

“The other doctors just weren’t getting it,” Jordan said.

“We needed to figure out what was going on or he’d be in a wheelchair when he got older,” Jenny said.

Jordan was referred to Dr. Kathryn Keeler at Children’s Mercy in Kansas City. She is a pediatric orthopedic surgeon. She took x-rays and CAT scans of Jordan’s legs and hips and saw what she thought looked like rotated femurs.

God bless those parents who do it day in and day out.”

Little brother Jack, 9, never left Jordan’s side once he got home.

“Jack made a bed on the floor in Jordan’s room so he could sleep by his bubby,” said Jenny. “This melts my heart.”

Getting by with a little help from friends On April 8 Jordan made a brief appearance at the Gallatin Middle School Dance and all his classmates were very happy to see him. He had several friends come to visit him at home. They play Xbox, shoot hoops, and have Nerf gun and water gun fights. His friends always lift his spirits.

Jordan spells relief “B-o-o-t” On April 12, Jordan experienced the worst pain he’d been in since coming home. The pain was in his right heel and ankle. The doctor removed the plaster cast and replaced it with a boot. Jordan felt immediate relief.

At that point he started going to the YMCA at Chillicothe a few times a week to get his legs moving and to bear weight in the water. It is the first step.

“I’m still trying to relearn how to walk,” he says.

“It’s a very slow process.”

It was the fourth quarter at Gallatin Middle School and Jordan studied at home.

“With today’s technology, only a couple of things have had to be done on paper,” said Jenny. “The rest he did on the Chromebook.”

She adds that the middle school teachers have been great to work with, and Mrs. Otto, Middle School Principal, has been very understanding.

“All of his teachers have let him go at his own pace as long as he got it done,” said Jenny.

Jordan holds his Royals baseball painting, a photo take n while he was in the hospital. He was feeling pretty good one afternoon so he went to an activity with other patients and they were painting those. His favorite nurses, Ron and Candace, both signed the back of it and Jordan now has it in his bedroom. It turned out pretty good!

After surgery, for ‘magic legs’ Jordan Donovan gets back to just...

Being a kid again

by T.L. Huffman, North Missourian staff writer

Dad’s ‘proud factor’ off the charts The morning after the surgery, the medicine started wearing off and the nurses began moving Jordan around.

“I was amazed at how tough this little guy is,” wrote his father Jeff in a Facebook post. “He was in so much pain that the tears were flowing, but he kept telling them his pain was only at a ‘four.’ Dad’s proud factor is off of the charts.”

No easy road home It’s been a long recovery. Jordan spent four days in the hospital and “busted out” and arrived home to “GTown” on March 31.

Unable to bear weight, he had to use a transfer board and have help getting in and out of the car, in and out of bed, and with everyday activities. This is where the earlier weight lifting and strength building proved beneficial. Still, it was rough.

The experience opened the family’s eyes to just how difficult it is for parents with handicapped children.

“Just getting around and doing daily activities takes much longer and is very stressful,” said Jenny. “We are thankful Jordan is only handicapped temporarily.

Part-time school a blessing On April 26, still in a wheelchair, Jordan began going back to school for two to three hours a day.

“It was good to be back,” he said. “But it was tiring.”

On April 30, Jordan had water workout #8 and that night took his first “walk” around the living room.

On May 2, he had a follow up and the doctor was very pleased with his progress. She could tell he’d been doing his water exercises. He was steadily gaining strength.

In June, Dr. Keeler said both femurs were completely healed. He has been released to do what he thinks he can do. He’s in band, but not able to parade march yet. He goes to the home football games. Jordan is a musician, a trumpet-player and a singer. He sang at the Jameson Picnic and the Lake Viking Talent Show. He sang at Chautauqua this year.

No end to physical therapy He continues to go to Liberty once a week for physical therapy. There’s no end date yet.

His physical therapist at Select Physical Therapy is Holly Vaughn.

“Jordan has been nothing short of the nickname I call him — Rock Star!” said Holly. “He has been through so much and yet stays upbeat, talking a mile a minute, trying to distract me from making him work.

Ha! He really works hard, between stories, and continues to push hard to get to his goals. I know we both eagerly await the day when he is strong enough to run with ease.”

Back to school for Jordan Jordan goes to school full-time this school year. He has daily exercises he does at home and in PE class.

During his recovery, his parents used Facebook as the easiest way to keep family and friends updated.

On Facebook, Jordan’s friends and family call him “awesome,” “amazing,” “tough,” and “champ.”

“He’s been a trooper through this whole process and we couldn’t be more proud of him,” said Jenny.

On his birthday, Jordan turned 13, a teenager now. A friend took him to iFly in Overland Park, Kan., where, with his doctor’s permission, he did a little indoor sky diving.

“His goal was to be able to walk by his birthday,” said Jeff. “It makes a dad extremely proud to watch his child grow up and accomplish his goals.”

Jordan has had some pain during his recovery this summer and fall, but looks forward to being pain-free soon.

“I feel good that the surgery is done and over with,” he said. “I feel like I’m pretty much a normal kid now.”
