Foundation receives $46,675 grant for Maximize Northwest Missouri

Gallatin Theater cancels fall drama The executive board of the Gallatin Theater League decided at their recent meeting not to go ahead with the fall production in November. Due to the increase in numbers of COVID cases in the area, GTL decided it just wouldn’t be safe for its patrons or cast to proceed. The plan at this time is to do the play in the spring, with the dates to be determined after the ﬁrst of the year. Theater members say it is difﬁcult to go this long without a production in the Courter Theater. They thank you all for understanding and your continued support.

Pedestrian struck on I-35 A Grandview man was fatally injured as he was walking on the shoulder of I-35. According to the Missouri State Highway Patrol, the accident happened at 2:45 a.m. on Saturday, Oct. 10, in Daviess County. A 2009 Nissan Morano, with an unknown driver, was improperly parked, partially in the driving lane of southbound I-35 at the 66.2 mile marker. Darwin Alberto Chavez Cardoza, 26, Grandview, was walking southbound from the vehicle on the shoulder. A 2021 Peterbilt Conventional, driven southbound by Brian T. Froman, 39, Topeka, KS, collided

with the vehicle and went off the west side of the roadway and struck Cardoza. The Peterbilt then collided with the guardrail and overturned. The Nissan came to rest on its top, facing south. The Peterbilt came to rest upright in the passing lane, facing east. Cardoza was pronounced deceased at 5:15 a.m. by Daviess County Coroner D.J. Smith. The crash was investigated by Cp. S.J. Cool and Major Crash Investigation Unit Team 1 Sgt. H.A. Sears, assisted by Sgt. A.A. Henry, Sgt. R.S. Smith, Tpr. J.P. Lynch, Tpr. N.A. Regan, and Tpr. J.W. Smith and Daviess County Sheriff ’s Ofﬁce.

Dinner Bell ready to take your order! Sherri and Chance Smith have started a catering service called Dinner Bell Catering Company LLC. The smoker is ﬁred up at their farm northeast of Gallatin, and they’re ready to take orders for catering. The Dinner Bell will cater to weddings, reunions, parties, and any gathering of empty stomachs. Sherri recently took a position running the cafeteria at Landmark Manufacturing and Landmark will use the Dinner Bell as its catering service. The Dinner Bell’s specialty is homemade French fries with pork belly, brisket, or pork butt. They will cook any meat with whatever sauce you want on it. They’ll cater cheeseburgers, hot dogs, steak, you name it. “Whatever the customers would like,” Sherri says. The Dinner Bell has not decided its range as far as distance they’re willing to travel. There might be an additional charge for mileage. “We’re wanting to get it up and running,” Sherri says. “We’re open to about anything.” Sherri says she’s been cook-

ing since she was six years old. She was the only girl in a house with three brothers. “I learned how to cook from Grandma Pettit, Aunt Mary King, the late Betty Lewis who dated my father, my Grandmother Gracey, my Aunt Velma, and my mother Sue.” Sherri says Chance has always liked to smoke meat and they recently bought a threechamber smoker on wheels. The Dinner Bell got its name from Gerald “Bud” Eugene McCann Sr, of Jamesport. Sherri took care of him. “We’d bring him to my farm

daily, either on his golf cart or in his mini van,” says Sherri. “One day he asked if our farm had a dinner bell. He said every farm has to have a dinner bell.” When Sherri told him that she didn’t have a dinner bell, he said that he had one on his farm. Sherri ﬁrst got Bud’s bell and later got the gong. After Bud passed away, the family hung the bell on a pole by the back porch. “I went round back and saw that beautiful dinner bell,” says Sherri. “I rang it for my Bud so loud and proud the heavens could hear it.” Sherri’s best friend Jackie Nichols came up with the name, Dinner Bell Catering. And like an old dinner bell calling in the farm hands for a fresh, hearty meal, Sherri promises you won’t go hungry. “Everything is homemade,” says Sherri. “Chicken and noodles, fresh ground beef patties -- nothing’s pre-prepared.” You can call or text 605-0801, email slpete1971@yahoo.com, or message The Dinner Bell on Facebook to place your orders.

Dispensary construction continues

Red Stag Retail, LLC, a medical marijuana dispensary, was approved to do business in Gallatin earlier this year. Mike Calderon owner of MAC Mechanical and Home Improvement, LLC, of Altamont, is pictured inside the building which will house the new dispensary. The building is located at 509 North Main Street. Work on the building began in August. Calderon says the interior framing is pretty much done except for a couple of doors left to cut out. Electrical work will begin this week, then insulation and sheet rock, H-VAC, and new siding. He says the work will probably take a couple of more months to complete. The interior will have a large show room, a security ofﬁce, and a waiting room.

Self-sufﬁciency in these tough times the focus of free seminar at Coffey Traversing Troubling Times, a free event promoting practical preparedness in today’s world, will be held from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 17, at the Old School in Coffey. Darlene Hopkins, who is a master herbalist, spearheaded the event. Hopkins says she is excited about sharing her extensive knowledge of herbs and how to use them and is planning local courses in Practical Use of Backyard Herbs starting next year. Margaret Ida Hubbard will also present a seminar. She is spokesman for the group. “We’re a little group of people into handling things ourselves,” says Hubbard. “We want to get the message out to others on how to do that.” The old Coffey school gym provides plenty of space for those concerned with social dis-

tancing. “A lot of people feel the need to handle things more on their own during COVID,” Hubbard says. “We thought it would be a good time to put the seminar together and invite people out. There’s all kinds of space in the old school gym to keep open areas for people who are concerned about the virus.” Hubbard will focus on two subjects during her own seminar: ‘Childbirth Your Way’ and ‘Getting A Round TUIT.’ As a registered nurse working in a hospital, Hubbard says she’ll present a more natural point of view to home birth and delivery. “My concept on childbirth is that it’s a natural part of life and not a disease,” she says. Though she is not a midwife, she has had lots of experience in

The boon to Zoom

Due to coronavirus, I’ve decided to introduce video conferencing into our marriage. Yes, I know I could just text her while sitting across the breakfast table like some folks nowadays do. But in the name of progress, I consent to actually looking at my wife on the screen as she drones on about all the things she wants me to do. The way I figure it, my follow-thru on her “honey do…” was always virtual. Now I won’t have to feign good intentions. Now, even when doing nothing, I’ve “broadened my experiences in human interaction” by using video. OK, nothing’s perfect. I read where many companies using video conferencing are trying so hard to succeed that they require employees to sit in front of a screen for multiple hours over multiple days – even taking video when stepping away for bathroom breaks and lunch. The risk of muscle and eye fatigue is real! Long before video conferencing, husbands knew that. It’s not easy sitting perfectly still and staring ahead mindlessly as the wife goes through each day’s “Honey do…” litany. But listen, fellas. If coronavirus actually makes you work at home (an oxymoron if I ever heard one), don’t fight it. Join in the boon to Zoom. For instance, plant that cutout you made of yourself for stadium seating in front of your video camera instead. If you’ve invested by Darryl Wilkinson years ignoring your wife while sitting perfectly still without batting an eye as she drones on, she’ll never notice. Consider complimenting her for engaging in a little face time whenever your paths next cross, and promptly move to safety beyond and away while she stands transfixed in bewilderment. Yes, video conferencing with your wife at home is pure inspiration. But be practical. Consider these tips from the experts below, but especially note the invaluable tech support you’ll only read here:

Off the Editor’s Spike...

● Flex your virtual meeting time: “The maximum anyone should be in an online meeting is four hours; two hours is much better.”

Tech Support: When it comes to “Honey do…” lists, remind your wife how less is best. Remind her how advertising agencies spend billions hawking whatever in 30 seconds or less. Not more. She will not like this. So, if things get tense, just act distracted (like swatting a ﬂy away or explain your extended lapse away from the screen as an urgent ﬂight to the bathroom).

● Template everything: “Make patterns for agendas, action items, result reviews and make these available from a central dashboard and emphasize what these are and how to ﬁnd them.”

Tech Support: Delay work by developing this dashboard (note: this is not gluing another hula dancer onto the dashboard of your pickup). Repeat. Remember, overt organization is the best means of avoiding work. For inspiration, just look at our government.

● Protest pointless meetings: “Don’t invite a host of people to a meeting when they don’t need to be there.”

Tech Support: Tell your wife what one-on-one video conferencing means to you. Use terms like “special bonding” and “togetherness.” If she still demands that you go to work on something, describe the necessary research viewing YouTube. This may provide several days of legitimate delay, perhaps more. If she protests, remind her how such research avoids the lure of pointless opinions of others which undoubtedly results in even more time lost or, worse, a botched project.

● Treat meetings like contract discussions: “Document the decisions of each engagement and follow up on them.”

Tech Support: Write stuff down. It doesn’t have to mean anything.

No need for Green New Deal

by Congressman Sam Graves

It’s been nearly 19 months since record flooding struck communities up and down the Missouri River, destroying centuries-old family farms, wrecking historic towns, and leaving a path of devastation and silt deposits behind. While the headlines faded quickly, it took months for the floodwaters to recede, and much of the damage to our flood control systems, communities, farms, and the river’s navigation channel remains. We’ve got to get this damage repaired. At the same time, it’s imperative that the river is usable. The bottom line is that we can and must do better to maintain and improve our waterways. In recent years, these top priorities have fallen by the wayside as millions have been spent on unproven wildlife experiments on the river while failing to properly maintain the river’s navigation channel and the levee systems that protect our commu-

nities and family farms. In Congress, I’ve been working to fix this. While it’s been difficult convincing some in Washington to care about what happens in flyover country, I’ve ensured that important steps have been taken to rearrange our priorities on the Missouri River. In the water resources bill we recently passed in the House, I successfully fought to halt the construction on Interception Rearing Complexes (IRCs) on the river that impede navigation and negatively impact flood control efforts. The bill streamlined the repair process for locally controlled levee systems that protect many communities in North Missouri and cleared a path for future improvements to better protect our communities that are all too often blocked by a mess of red tape, measures which help both Missouri and Mississippi Rivers. That said, this fight is long from over. Many levees along our

rivers remain only temporarily repaired and the Corps has only received $20 million in emergency funds to ﬁx recent damages to the Missouri River navigation channel, damages that are estimated to cost more than $200 million to ﬁx. It’s clear that while we’ve made progress, we have a long way to go, particularly in ensuring the Missouri River remains navigable. This is an absolute must, not only to keep the ports in St. Joseph and Kansas City running, but also for the farmers, small businesses, and large industries throughout the region that depend on the river to get materials here and ship products out. We can better protect our communities and maintain river navigation, and we don’t need a multi trillion-dollar Green New Deal to do it. We just need to take a hard look at how we’re spending our money and start making people’s lives and livelihoods the top priority.

Wayne Goode: Author of schools’ Foundation Formula This month, Missouri lost a major leader in designing our state’s system for funding public schools. St. Louis County’s Wayne Goode, who died Oct. 3 at age 83, was one of the most eclectic legislators I’ve covered. Although a Democratic liberal, he also was a ﬁscal hawk which he demonstrated as the House Budget chair and then on the Senate Appropriations Committee. A colleague who informed me of Goode’s death recounted Goode’s objection to by Phill rounding numbers because “decimal points matter.” Brooks Although conservatives controlled the legislature for many of his years, Goode’s ﬁscal discipline coupled with his liberalism on other issues helped facilitate building budget compromises. Goode was a true policy wonk, demonstrated in his greatest legislative accomplishment -- the 1977 major rewrite of how the state distributes education funds to more than 500 school districts. Essentially, Goode’s plan reduced the differences among the school districts in per-student spending, but adjusted for cost and tax assessment differences between the districts. While a simple concept, the School Foundation Formula proposal required an incomprehensible combination of compromises involving rural districts with low property tax collections, suburban districts with huge numbers of students and urban districts with a higher percentage of public-assistance recipients. The other factors in the formula include adjustment for differences in cost of living, local taxes for education and, of course, average school attendance. Those are just a few of a much, much longer list of factors in the funding formula. Goode’s approach was one of the most artful and complicated political compromises I’ve covered. “A lot of individual changes have been made to cater to certain situations, but the concept behind it is still good,”

Like it or not, it’s time for action

by Dr. Rik Hafer

Whoever wins the upcoming Presidential election, whichever party takes control of the House and Senate, our elected officials will face a formidable task. Obviously they will face the immediate social and economic effects of the ongoing pandemic. They also will confront an economic outlook that requires enacting policies that go beyond currying votes for the next election. Events related to the pandemic produced one of the sharpest downturns in U.S. economic history. Output has and will continue to bounce back. But even though the current quarter’s growth rate will look impressive, the actual level of output will remain well-below where it was nine months ago. With output remaining well-below its full-employment or potential level, the labor market will not rebound. Job growth always lags output growth coming out of a downturn. Many companies have discovered how to produce its goods with fewer employees using new technologies. Once the pandemic has passed, these structural changes will depress job growth. So while real GDP growth may look like its recovering ground, don’t expect to see immediate job growth across the economy. The headlines reflect this: Shell Oil is cutting 9,000 jobs; Disney slashing 28,000

Spike: Boon to Zoom (continued from page 2) Write small enough so that she can’t read what you’ve written on the video screen. Use several sheets of paper whenever possible. This is a great visual, giving the right impression that you’re serious about what you totally intend to avoid. ● Don’t drive yourself to distraction: “Cutting distractions improves productivity.” Tech Support: Make a big deal about giving your video conference time together top priority. If you don’t have a cell phone, borrow a toy phone from your kids. Before starting your Zoom session: 1. Open every app on your cell phone; 2. Position a TV in the background during the news (not during a Gunsmoke rerun); 3. put an X-Box controller next to your keyboard (does not have to be plugged into games); 4. Turn up Pandora so that she can hear the lyrics of your favorite Johnny Cash song without her

earphones. Start the Zoom session, then slowly turn each thing off in any sequence to best advantage before smiling at her to say, “You’ve got my 100% attention, dear!” For full effect, immediately close your video session, wait a bit, then repeat each step before reopening Zoom. Smile at her and say, “Oh, my… We must have lost connection to the router, dear.” Repeat ad nauseam. I know this is foreign to some of you guys out there. But we’re living in a new (coronavirus) world. Think Red Green of TV fame.

Dear Editor: Fall is not only about pretty leaves and pumpkin spice. It’s also time to check your Medicare prescription drug coverage for 2021. The open enrollment period is Oct. 15 through Dec. 7 and any changes will take place Jan. 1. There are 29 Part D plans available to Missouri residents for next year. The lowest monthly premium is only $7.20 a month for 2021. We urge all Medicare Part D beneficiaries, caregivers, and family members to make sure this annual comparison gets done. It doesn’t take much time, but it could save a substantial amount of money as well as providing better coverage. If you are struggling to pay for your prescriptions, there are programs to help such as Extra Help from Social Security and Patient Assistance Programs.

Anxieties? Never lose hope

by Stan Popovich

I struggled with fear and anxiety for over 20 years and there were times I felt like giving up. During these times, my anxieties and fears were so powerful that I had trouble getting through the week. It was very tough; however, I did not lose hope. To get through those difficult times, the first thing I did was admit that I had a problem. I then took the steps to find a mental health counselor who could help me with my situation. I also made the effort to learn as much as I could in dealing with fear and anxiety by reading a lot of books and doing a lot of personal research. I knew that the answers I was looking for were out there and all I had to do was make an effort to find them. Over time, I became very knowledgeable on how to deal with fear and anxiety which helped me in the long run. In time, I became better able to deal with my fears and anxieties. Whenever I encountered a fearful and anxiety related situation, I would apply the techniques I learned from the professionals and from my research. Instead of looking at my

struggles as a problem, I looked at each situation as a learning experience. For example, I remembered when I first learned to ice skate. In the beginning, I fell down all the time, but I kept getting back up even though it was very difficult. Over time, I did not fall as much and eventually I was able to skate without falling down. It was very tough and scary dealing with my anxieties; however, I made an effort to find out which techniques worked for me. I would then write down this information in a small notebook. The next time I encountered a similar situation, I was better able to deal with my anxieties by reading my notes. This prevented me from repeating the same mistakes I made in the past. Going to various mental health support groups for help was a tremendous asset in getting through my challenges. I was able to manage my anxieties and fears by using the help of others. Including other people in my life gave me the hope and the faith to continue on during my mental health struggles. Never underestimate the power of working with others when it

comes to your mental health issues. Whenever I struggled with my fear and anxiety, I made it a habit to take things one day at a time. I made an effort to not dwell on my fearful thoughts which were telling me that I was not going to make it. I also realized that you can’t predict the future. A person may be 99% correct in predicting the future, but all it takes is that 1% to make a difference. There are factors and circumstances that you can’t predict or anticipate that can make the difference in your current situation. In summary, the key is not to give up and to seek help from the professionals. You are not alone when it comes to your mental health challenges. There are many support groups in your area where you can get assistance and where you can meet others who can relate to your circumstances. Your situation is not hopeless and by making the right decisions, you will eventually be able to get your life back on track. Editor’s note: Stan Popovich is the author of the book, “A Layman’s Guide To Managing Fear.”

Differences between DOs and MDs

Dear Editor: As an osteopathic physician (DO), I have listened the past few weeks to uninformed national news media personalities and celebrities malign our profession. When President Trump contracted COVID-19, it came to light that his personal physician was a DO. Suddenly, “experts” on the subject of physician credentials came out of the woodwork to erroneously disparage his professional qualification, motivated only by their political ideology. They would not have made the same comments had his physician been an MD. Commentators from CNN, MSNBC, and even celebrities like Cher have made or posted comments showing their ignorance of what an osteopathic physician is and does. I want to set the record straight. Only DOs and MDs are licensed to practice medicine in the 50 states. In Missouri, DOs and MDs are licensed by the Board of Healing Arts. One in 10 physicians in the United States is a DO, and almost one in four medical students is attending an osteopathic medical school. Missouri has two osteopathic medical schools: AT Still University – Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine (founded in 1892 – the first in the nation) and Kansas City University (the largest medical school in Missouri with campuses in Kansas City and Joplin). Because Missouri is the founding state of osteopathic medicine and the fact that we have two schools with three campuses, it is highly likely that you either see a DO or know someone who does. Osteopathic medicine is Missouri medicine – born and bred. So, what’s the difference between a DO and an MD? We both train in similar ways including attending four years of medical school followed by three to seven or more years of postgraduate training depending on the specialty we choose. Both DOs and MDs train in residency programs accredited by the Accreditation Council of Graduate Medical Education. We both must pass board examinations to be licensed. You will find many DO’s in primary care specialties, but also in every medical specialty where we must pass high stakes exams to ensure competency. The primary difference between a DO and MD is their medical school training: DO’s attend osteopathic medical schools and MDs train in allopathic medical schools. DOs are trained to look at the whole person and believe there is a relationship between the mind, body and spirit. We also receive additional training on the musculoskeletal system and many DOs practice osteopathic manipulative treatment, a set of hands-on techniques to diagnose, treat and prevent illness or injury. This holistic philosophy is expanding into MD training and philosophy as well. Because of our whole-body approach to patients, a higher percentage of osteopathic physicians go into the much-needed primary care medical specialties. So, next time you visit your physician, check to see if they are a DO or MD. Regardless of the letters following their name, the main difference is how they approach your care, not their qualifications. Michael Brown, DO, President, Missouri Association of Osteopathic Physicians and Surgeons

City of Jameson works on welcoming, discusses roaming dogs, snow bids The Village of Jameson continued with the idea of a ‘welcome packet’ for new residents during its September meeting. Vance Hefley reported that the City of Hamilton had information on their website, and he handed out a page he had printed off. Hefley suggested the Village of Jameson use something similar for its website and work with Paul Caven on utilizing the Jamesonmo.org website for information. The General Checking account financial report and the Restricted Funds/Roads account, both as of Aug. 31, were approved as presented. Jan Duly reported on the Sewer Financial reports as of Aug. 31; there are currently no delinquents. Elaine Bohannon read an update from Steve McDowell, stating that the samples collected on Sept. 2 tested very well. The Department of Natural Resources is coming out with a new reporting system. Discussion was held about paint for the sewer lids and price checks on street signs. Mary Probert reported from the Complaint Panel on old vehicles. She had talked to the property owner about the issue.

A new snow removal bid flyer was handed out. The flyer will be posted at the Lions Hall and the post office. During Board of Trustee comments, Lorriann Fisher mentioned a problem with dogs in town roaming onto her property. A board member will discuss the issue with the dog owner. North Daviess School is planning to have the Halloween Trunk or Treat on Wednesday, Oct. 28, at the school parking lot. During public comment, Mary Probert requested that the board meetings begin with the Pledge of Allegiance and a prayer, and that Constitution Day be recognized. The pledge was given by all in attendance and DeeAnn Fisher led the group in prayer. Next meeting will be at 6 p.m. on Oct. 15. The above are the unapproved minutes for the Village of Jameson held on Sept. 17. Board members present were Natalie May, DeeAnn Fisher, Vance Hefley, and Lorriann Fisher. Absent was David Lainhart.

A jaw-dropping-off passenger Blackie Wortman of Gallatin has a rather bony guest riding around in his pickup with him these days. Red Skeleton likes a good joke and may be running for president. Halloween will be here soon. Blackie thought he should get his skeleton out of the closet and take him for a ride to air him out. He’s the ideal traveling companion. He never has to eat or take a bathroom break. And, no, he’s not properly restrained in his seat belt…how do you think he got that way!

Farm plans There are many software applications for writing business plans, but few of them target commodity farming businesses. Horner recommends the University of Minnesota’s AgPlan, at AgPlan.umn.edu, for a simple, free, farmer-friendly business plan app with outlines, suggestions and videos. When finished with the plan, make sure key members of your organization and family know where to find it.

He had thoughts of adding tile for drainage and gavel to allow more parking. He also discussed placing a storage building on the north side of the hotel and adding a flagpole on his property.

Mr. Flanders also discussed his plans to add balconies on some of his building in an effort to add outdoor space for lofts. The sidewalk in front of his store south of the four-way on Broadway was also a topic for discussion.

City hall was approached by the family of Forest C. (Phog) Allen, offering to place a sign announcing the legacy of Mr. Phog’s ties to the Jamesport community. The board allowed a change

Scoring Summary:

G: Meeks 64 yd. run (Vandiver to Meeks). G: Vandiver 12 yd. pass to Wright (pass failed). G: Gray 11 yd. run (pass failed). G: Vandiver 15 yd. run (run failed).

Brett Hemry toils in the trenches for the Gallatin Bulldogs, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t have a nose for the football. Hemry recovered 3 fumbles for the Bulldogs in their 48-8 victory last Friday night over visiting Putnam County. Two defensive recoveries led to GHS scoring drives. A heads-up recovery of a Kevin Meeks fumble kept a scoring drive alive right before the end of the first half. “He is a heads-up type of player that found himself in the

right spot at the right time,” said Coach Patrick Treece. The Bulldogs dominated both field position and time of possession against the Midgets. The varsity units pitched a shutout until 3 minutes left in the fourth quarter when the Midget varsity found paydirt against the Bulldog jayvee squad. “We were much more physical on the defensive side of the ball and were a lot more aggressive in the box,” Treece stated. “This past week we focused on doing a better job of attacking

the line of scrimmage and having bad intentions,” he added. “I believe we are starting to figure things out and are putting things all together.” The focus this week is beating a winless Trenton team and retaining the “Battle of the Bulldogs” trophy for the fifth straight season. “I couldn’t be more pleased with our effort against Putnam County and I’m looking forward to the “Battle of the Bulldogs”, Coach Treece added. Gallatin piled up 34 points in the opening half last week. First half TDs came by way of a Meeks 64-yard run, Brinley Vandiver to Draven Wright 12-yard pass, Jagger Gray 11-yard run, Vandiver 15-yard run and a Meeks run of 11 yards. Vandiver threw to Meeks and Isaac Bird for a

pair of 2-point conversions. The Bulldogs took nearly 6 minutes off the clock in a third quarter scoring possession. Facing 4th and 15 on the Midget 46, Vandiver hit Wright crossing the middle for a gain to the 20. Another Vandiver to Wright pass moved the ball to the 10. Continuing his string, Vandiver connected with Meeks for the touchdown. Gallatin opened the fourth quarter with a final scoring drive featuring a Payton Feiden reception from Vandiver for a 14-yard TD. Meeks picked up the 2-point conversion around right end. Putnam County’s score came in a burst as backfield workhorse Chase Tomlin busted free on a 61-yard romp and also tacked on the conversion score.

She is also the mother of six boys. “One of the boys was born at home and three were almost born at home; so, I have plenty of personal experience,” she says. “I’ve worked with natural childbirth in the hospital setting as well as the medical approach.” The other part of her seminar will be on ‘Getting A Round TUIT’ which is a pun for ‘getting around to it.’ “People make resolutions and want to make changes, but then have a hard time choosing where to start,” she says. “I’m qualified as a professional health coach and this is an offshoot of that. I’ll coach people on how to get started and do the things they are so excited about, instead of just having it in their head.” Those participating in the event are: ● Raida Baker – Practitioner of The Emotion Code & Emotional Preparation

Three receive award for heroic action in Winston incident Gov. Mike Parson recently awarded Missouri Public Safety Medals to a total of 11 first responders and six civilians for heroic and live-saving actions during 2019. Among the honorees were Jason C. Gamm, Rick L. Shannon and Wesley W. Teague who were nominated by the Trenton Police Department. On June 14, 2019, Trenton Police Department Officer Jasmine E. Diab was transporting a prisoner to a mental health evaluation. During the transport near Winston in Daviess County, the prisoner assaulted Officer Diab. Officer Diab was shot in the abdomen and the prisoner was shot in the hand during the struggle. The prisoner tried to take control of the vehicle and, positioned on top of the officer, attempted to drive away from the scene. Officer Diab continued to fight the prisoner. Several passing civilian motorists realized the officer was in extreme danger. Jason Gamm and Rick Shannon heard one of the gunshots. Mr. Shannon retrieved a gun from his vehicle and gave it to Mr. Gamm. Mr. Gamm and Wesley Teague approached the rear of the police vehicle. Mr. Gamm carefully moved around the vehicle to the driver’s door and managed to pull the prisoner from the vehicle. The prisoner continued to fight. Mr. Teague then grabbed the prisoner’s legs with his arms, and Mr. Shannon assisted holding him on the ground. All three civilians held the prisoner until law enforcement arrived and took him into custody. Officer Diab was hospitalized and continues to recover. If not for the heroic actions of Mr. Gamm, Mr. Shannon, and Mr. Teague, who acted without concern for their own safety, Officer Diab might have been killed. The awards represent the state’s highest recognition for first responders working as individuals and as members of a team during critical incidents. The civilians were honored for taking on harrowing risks during emergencies to save lives and support first responders.
