launch initiatives for the school year and celebrate the past year.

However, this year required new ideas for the launch due to health precautions.

Additional charges against Derwinis for harassment, forgery, stealing vs elderly One day after Allison Derwinis of Bethany was charged with the theft of medications from a patient at Daviess County Nursing and Rehab, the Daviess County Sheriff ’s Office was notified by the nursing home that medications for another patient were discovered to be missing.

According to court documents, hydromorphone pill packages were carefully cut and the pills were replaced with over the counter allergy pills. Over 30 hydromorphone pills were found to be missing.

Derwinis, 27, has now been charged with several additional crimes. On Oct. 13-14, she was charged with two counts of possession of a controlled substance, stealing controlled substance, forgery, harassment first degree, abuse of elderly person, and unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia.

As reported in last week’s edition, Derwinis was arrested after a traffic stop by Daviess County Deputy Dalton Youtsey on Oct. 11 and was charged with stealing controlled substance, possession

of controlled substance, speeding, failure to stop at stop sign and unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia.

Derwinis was stopped on West Grand Street in Gallatin after Deputy Youtsey received a report of a reckless driver. During a consent search, Derwinis was found to be in possession of Lorazepam which belonged to a patient at the nursing home, where Derwinis was employed as a licensed practical nurse.

Derwinis is also accused of harassment for using Facebook to threaten a Daviess County resident through private messaging. The sheriff ’s office received a report from the person who received the threats on Oct. 13.

In the messages, Derwinis offered to pay the victim for “keeping her mouth shut.” Multiple messages indicated that Derwinis would hurt the victim. One message said, “I’ll murder you.”

The victim requested a protection order against Derwinis.

GRC, area schools prepare for indoor winter sport activities

by Dennis Cox, Sports Editor

After a meeting held Oct. 14, Grand River Conference superintendents approved a pair of changes in the league winter sports calendar.

Due to health concerns, the GRC Wrestling Tournament, scheduled for Jan. 30, 2021, has been cancelled. Currently a schedule is being formulated that will allow all conference wrestling schools to meet one another in a dual meet over the course of four Saturdays in December and January. The conference champion will be determined on the basis of dual meet records.

In place of individual conference medal finishes, an all-conference wrestling team will be chosen at the end of the season.

The GRC Basketball Showcase (league crossover games), scheduled for Feb. 13, 2021, in Milan, has also been cancelled due to concerns over the coronavirus.

Instead, crossover games will be held on that date at the Eastern Division sites and times will be staggered so fans of Western Division teams will have time to travel to see both girls and boys games.

Amendment 3:

More partisanship, extreme politics

Editor’s note: Former U.S. Senator John C. Danforth is continuing his call for Missourians to reject Amendment 3 on our ballots Nov. 2. The following, first published in the Jefferson City News Tribune, Danforth explains how “integrity of Missouri’s democracy is at stake. John C. Danforth, a Republican, is a threeterm former Missouri U.S. senator who also served as Missouri Attorney General and U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. He is an ordained Episcopal priest.

by Jack Danforth

It is no exaggeration to say politics in our country is broken. The reasons abound, but high on the list is polarization — the vast gulf in goodwill and beliefs that now separates the two major political parties. Missouri voters who want to do something about it have a chance on Nov. 3. They can vote No on Amendment 3.

The truth is Amendment 3 should not even be on the ballot. The Missouri Legislature put it there to its shame. Without it, many of its members feared their seats might lose their built-in safety. As a result, many of them actually might have to listen to the majority of the voters in their districts instead of only a portion of the members of their own party.

These sorts of changes have been on the horizon now since 2018, when Missouri voters approved an amendment to the state constitution that became known as Clean Missouri. If the voters approve Amendment 3, they’ll gut Clean Missouri, and we’ll be back where we started.

It is important to appreciate the context here. It is not as if Clean Missouri squeaked through. The voters approved it overwhelmingly — by a nearly two-to-one margin statewide and by a majority in every single state Senate district, from the Bootheel to the Iowa border. That’s a virtual miracle in today’s politics.

I was proud to support the Clean Missouri Amendment on the 2018 ballot. The Amendment changed the state constitution to “clean up Missouri politics” in various ways, but above all by reducing the role of politics in

by Darryl Wilkinson the way state House and Senate Former Sen. Danforth districts are drawn. The power eloquently espouses a view that partisan and special interI share, thus I cede ests have in drawing these lines was reduced in favor of a nonparmy normal space so that tisan state demographer, whose you may consider his take work would then be reviewed by on Amendment 3 a citizen commission that must hold public hearings.

Now, however, in the midst of all the crises now besetting our nation, our state Legislature’s idea of urgent business is to try to overturn these reforms before they can ever take effect. Instead, Amendment 3 would substitute a redistricting scheme more extreme than Missouri had in the first place. The result, according to the Princeton Gerrymandering Project, a nonpartisan group based at Princeton University, would be “a sharp turn away from representative democracy.” Here’s why: Gerrymandering is the practice of drawing the boundaries of legislative districts to benefit particular legislators, parties or interests.

When district maps are drawn to benefit a political party — whether Democrat or Republican — the incumbents in these “...if Clean Missouri gets districts don’t need to worry trashed in favor of Amendment 3, about the general election; it’s already in the bag. So you’ll just see more partisanship for these protected legislaand extreme politics than ever” tors, building coalitions, bringing people together and competing for swing voters are a waste of time — maybe even counterproductive. The party primary is the election that matters for these protected legislators.

Unfortunately, however, most Americans don’t bother to vote in primaries, so the few partisans who do call the shots. And those few, by definition, tend to be the most motivated, the most politically passionate — the most extreme.

The upshot is painfully obvious: Incumbents get pulled toward the extremes in their own party. The majority of voters —the moderates who make up the center of the citizenry — get ignored.

My own career in politics taught me how different it is when candidates have to compete for the center. I ran in statewide elections for Missouri attorney general or U.S. senator. And every time I did, every voter mattered, and every vote counted. If I wanted to win, I had to meet with all kinds of voters, hear their concerns and earn their trust.

That, I believe, is how it should be. Because that system generates leaders who represent the majority of their voters and who can work with other officials, who in turn represent the majority of their voters. That’s the kind of system, I might note, that produced the situation Missouri enjoyed for many years in the U.S. Senate. The state’s two senators — myself and Tom Eagleton — came from different parties but had a close working relationship. The real winners in the end? The people of Missouri.

You can forget that kind of situation, however, if Clean Missouri gets trashed in favor of Amendment 3. You’ll just see more partisanship and extreme politics than ever. Hard as it is to envision, you’ll see our politics even more broken than they are.

That’s why I am voting no on Amendment 3 and why I encourage every Missouri voter to do the same. The integrity of Missouri’s democracy is at stake.

Economic recovery underway

by State Rep. J. Eggleston

At the start of 2020, the U.S. economy was in very good shape. Unemployment was at an extremely low 3.6%. In the stock market, the DOW was at an alltime high. Missouri’s economy was better than average with strong revenues and an unemployment rate of close to 3.4%.

Then Covid hit.

Based on scary predictions from world health officials like the CDC and WHO, government leaders at the local, state, national, and world levels made significant decisions with major economic effects. Stay-at-home orders, “essential” work determinations, and business shutdowns plunged the DOW down 35%, and skyrocketed Missouri’s

unemployment to 10.2% and national unemployment to 14.7%.

Our governor was forced to withhold millions in planned spending because the money just wasn’t there, most significantly for education. The travel and restaurant industries saw big losses and layoffs. Income taxes normally due in April were delayed, further slowing revenues for state government. But there is now some light at the end of the tunnel.

Surprisingly, while Americans spent a lot less at hotels, theaters, and restaurants, we spent a lot more at big box stores and on home improvement projects.

Consequently, sales tax revenues have actually held steady for local and state governments.

Income taxes took a sharp dip in the April quarter, but rebounded in the July quarter.

Little by little, as the unknowns about Covid have become more known, people returned to work and we are inching our way back to normal.

The DOW has returned to near pre-pandemic levels, national unemployment has fallen to 7.9% and Missouri’s unemployment has dropped to 4.9%.

A couple weeks ago, Gov. Parson announced that revenues had improved enough to release about $100 million in spending for education, including scholarships to assist our most deserving students. All of this is something we haven’t seen a lot of in 2020 -- good news!

Graves endorses Barrett for court

by Congressman Sam Graves

America lost a well-respected jurist when Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg passed away last month. President Trump promptly and rightfully nominated the highly qualified Judge Amy Coney Barrett to fill the seat.

One of the core functions of the executive branch is to nominate Justices to the Supreme Court and federal judges. President Trump has had the opportunity to nominate three individuals to the highest court in the land during his term in office.

He’s also appointed over 200 federal judges to the bench for lifetime appointments.

The Constitution affords the President the opportunity to appoint Justices with the “advice and consent” of the Senate. The

Senate Judiciary Committee has been engaged in that process, though several liberal Senators have clearly viewed the process as an opportunity to hear themselves talk as opposed to listening to the outstanding nominee that the President has put forth.

Much of the time has been consumed with petty political posturing instead as some on the far Left try to avoid Judge Barrett’s impeccable credentials.

That’s unfortunate, but not surprising, since Judge Barrett is a stellar choice for the lifetime appointment. She was confirmed to the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals in 2017 and is a renowned legal scholar.

She has more than held her own during the hearings, explaining her commitment to the Constitution and the original

meaning of our founding documents, as opposed to judicial activism from the bench.

While far less contentious than the confirmation hearings of Justice Brett Kavanaugh, these hearings haven’t been lacking in ridiculous questions and assertions. Yet, Judge Barrett has shown incredible poise and grace which I know she will also bring to the bench.

Judge Barrett is committed to equality under the law. Her grasp of the law is exceptional, and her impressive career and credentials further bolster the case for her appointment.

Amy Coney Barrett is one of the finest jurists out there. I’m glad the Senate has quickly taken up her nomination and hope that they will promptly confirm her to the Supreme Court.

Missouri Medicine caution on marijuana:

Are THC & CBD valid medications?

A panel of national experts discuss the validity of cannabis for medical and recreational use in the September/October 2020 issue of Missouri Medicine, the Journal of the Missouri State Medical Association. These experts concur that THC and CBD are not valid medications.

Six published studies are raising the alarm about the increasing use of cannabis [tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) or cannabidiol (CBD)] for medical indications that have not been scientifically shown to help and the number of states inappropriately and detrimentally legalizing both medical and recreational marijuana.

Studies show CBD can be mislabeled, contaminated, and cause adverse reactions as there is scant scientific research to support the many medical benefits that proponents claim. The most recent evidence demonstrates that CBD and THC are both harmful to the eye and make glaucoma worse; yet glaucoma is a legal indication for a medi-

cal marijuana card.

Most disturbing of all is the increasing number of premature births, low birthweights, and birth defects associated with cannabis use during pregnancy. Some obstetrics experts are calling cannabis the new thalidomide.

Missouri Medicine also reviews the detrimental effects of legal and recreational marijuana in Colorado as outlined in its 2020 report. Legal marijuana sales in Colorado contributed about 0.85% of state budget; social, judicial and law enforcement costs due to cannabis were much higher.

Missouri should not legalize recreational marijuana. Street and commercial CBD and THC are not medications. Pharmaceutical-grade and FDAstudied and -approved cannabis drugs are promising.

by Daviess County FSA Executive Director Mandi Bird

As I write this newsletter on Monday morning it is currently 39 degrees and really starting to look and feel like fall. This long dry stretch of weather as allowed harvest to progress at a rapid pace and we have heard of some excellent yields throughout the county. The month of September totaled 3.15 inches of rain falling on four days, compared to a normal 4.21.

This is a busy time of year at the FSA office with several new programs and deadlines: ● Oct. 30 is the deadline to apply for the WHIP+ program which compensates eligible producers for crop production losses in the 2018 drought and 2019 flood. ● Dec. 11 is the deadline to apply for the Coronavirus Food Assistance Program 2.0 (CFAP 2). Eligible producers of Cattle, Hogs and Sheep, Corn, Soybeans, Wheat, Sorghum, Alfalfa, Triticale, Oats and Rye are eligible for payments to compensate for the disruption of markets due to COVID-19. ● Dec. 15 is the deadline to report fall seeded crops such as wheat, rye or triticale. If not reported timely, a late file fee of $46 per farm does apply.

USDA announced up to an additional $14 billion for agricultural producers who continue to face market disruptions and associated costs because of COVID-19. Signup for the Coronavirus Food Assistance Program 2 (CFAP 2) began Sept. 21 and will run through Dec. 11.

CFAP 2 is a separate program from the first round of the Coronavirus Food Assistance Program, now referred to as CFAP 1. Farmers and ranchers who participated in CFAP 1 will not be automatically enrolled and must complete a new application for CFAP 2. Producers can apply for CFAP 2 at USDA’s Farm Service Agency (FSA) county offices.

For Daviess County livestock producers of cattle, hogs and sheep, breeding stock is not eligible to be counted (definition of breeding stock: female who has produced offspring or a male who has been used for breeding).

Producer will choose a date between April 16, 2020 - August 31, 2020 and certify their highest owned inventory of all breeds of the cattle, hogs and sheep being raised for meat consumption, on that day. Again, cows, bulls, rams, ewes, sows and boars are not eligible to be counted in CFAP 2.

For Daviess County all producers who have a share of 2020 planted acres of corn, soybeans, wheat, milo, oats, alfalfa, rye or triticale should contact the office about enrollment. There are many more eligible crops but

Friday game has huge implications

Balanced offense drives Bulldogs to Challenge victory Gallatin quarterback Brinley Vandiver threw for over 200 yards in the first half. Running back Jagger Gray rushed for over 100 yards in the third quarter alone. With numbers like those, it was no contest for the winless Trenton Bulldogs on Friday night.

Gallatin moved to 4-2 in the Grand River Conference (GRC) and 5-3 overall with Friday’s 54-14 victory over Trenton that kept the “Bulldog Challenge” trophy at GHS for yet another year. Gallatin currently stands in fifth place in Class 1, District 7 standings and if the season were to end today, the Bulldogs would travel to Penney High School for the first round of the playoffs.

Gallatin could host a firstround playoff game on Oct. 31, if the Bulldogs defeat Princeton this Friday and Penney falls to Lawson, as well. Princeton shocked GRC leader South Harrison last week, winning 28-6 at home and shaking up district standings. Princeton, South Harrison, and Milan currently each have only one league loss heading into this week’s action.

Last Friday’s game was close through most of the first quarter until Vandiver hit Isaac Bird with a pair of passes covering 42 and 30 yards (TD). A Vandiver to Kevin Meeks conversion put the “can we keep up” pressure on Trenton, 14-6.

Gallatin’s passing game continued to click in the second period. Passes to Bird (34 yds.), Jagger Gray (11 yds.) and Meeks (2 yds.) set up a Vandiver keeper for another score.

A Draven Wright interception killed any hopes of another first half TD for the home Bulldogs.

Payton Feiden leaps for a touchdown catch against Trenton.

[Staff photo/DC]

Jagger Gray rushed for over 100 yards in the third quarter on just a handful of carries.

The run game highlighted GHS efforts in the second half.

Meeks scored at 6:47 of the third quarter on a 66-yard run. Vandiver passed to Payton Feiden for the conversion. Two minutes later, Gray broke a 62-yard run to the Trenton 9 yard line and followed it with a scoring run.

Vandiver to Wright for the conversion upped the ante to 36-6.

Gallatin went from a passing team to a run team in the second half...for a reason.

“They backed guys out of the box to help defend our passing game and we took advantage of a light box,” GHS Coach Patrick Treece says. “We were simply taking what they were giving us and trying to stay balanced on offense,” he added. “We realize that we will have to be balanced to beat good teams and I thought we did a decent job of showing that.”

An illegal block in the back penalty cancelled what would

have been a touchdown reception by Bird on Gallatin’s next drive and pushed the doomed series back to the 47 yard line, but Trenton would hand over 2 points after a snap from center sailed over the punters head into the end zone.

Trenton scored late on a 75yard kickoff return and 2-point conversion, both by Payden McCollough. The score was sandwiched inside a Vandiver to Feiden TD pass of 17 yards (Gray conversion) and Meeks kickoff return (Vandiver to Bird conversion) that ended the night’s scoring.

Vandiver finished with 248 yards passing. Gray totaled 115 yards on the ground through 4 quarters.

nosed with the coronavirus.

In mid-September North Daviess R-3 was notified of someone that had been in the building that had a confirmed case of COVID-19. At the time the subject was in the building, there were no symptoms. The district took immediate action to help notify those in close contact with the active case and separate those affected from the rest of the people in the building. Those subjects were notified and followed quarantining guidelines in conjunction with the local health department. Due to the nature of the case, the timing, and the fact that the school building receives multiple, regular cleanings/disinfections, it was not necessary for the district to close the building.

Lady Panthers sweep to Class 1, District 13 Softball title The Lady Panthers, winners of only 2 games during the regular season, outscored former HDC Conference foes, 32-4, in capturing the Class 1, District 13 championship.

Pattonsburg travels to Stewartsville High School tonight (Wednesday, Oct. 21) to face Stewartsville/Osborn, winner of the District 14 Tournament, in a 5:30 p.m. start to determine one of 8 state quarterfinalists.

The winner of tonight’s contest will advance to a Saturday, Oct.

24, game at a site yet to be determined. Pattonsburg looks to avenge a 3-2 loss to Stewartsville on Sept. 14.

A 12-2 victory over Tri-County set up last Wednesday’s second meeting with Winston in the span of 3 days. A 10-run second inning and 10-run third inning left no doubt who would walk away with the district crown as Pattonsburg swept to a 21-hit, 20-2 victory after only 3 innings of play.

Ten Lady Panthers had at

least one hit. Jillian Plymell singled, doubled, scored twice, and drove in a team-high 4 runs.

Brynn Teel and Webby Bailey each went 3-for-4 at the plate.

Teel scored 3 times and drove in a run. Bailey scored a pair of runs.

Kayleigh Pankau doubled twice, scored twice, and drove in 3 runs for the Lady Panthers.

Jaden Gannan reached base 4 times with 2 hits and 2 walks,

scored 3 runs and drove in a pair. Kierra deJong and Quincy Crone each went 2-for-3. deJong scored a run and picked up a pair of RBIs. Crone scored 3 runs and drove in 2 runs.

Jenna Heath and Kelsey Crabtree each had 2 hits. Heath scored twice and picked up an RBI. Crabtree had an RBI and run scored. Mekenzie Turner also scored and drove in 2 runs with a single.

Solving problems at GMS

Gallatin Middle School would like to recognize this outstanding group of students for their efforts to be respectful, responsible, and a problem solver in the classroom. They were given positive office referrals by their teachers and allowed to raid the principal’s snack cabinet as a reward.

Halloween a ‘treat’ for Winston students Trunk or Treat will not be held this year at Winston Elementary School, but each student will be provided a small bag of treats and two fun events are planned on Friday, Oct. 30.

Red Ribbon Week is Oct. 2331 and Winston will be celebrating the theme “Be Happy; Be Brave; Be Drug Free.” Dress up days are sponsored by the elementary student ambassadors. The class with the most participation each day will win a popcorn party.

Tuesday: Be Happy: stay in your pajamas all day (wear pjs to school); Wednesday: Be Happy: wear tie dye; Thursday: Be Brave. Wear your camo (teachers will hunt for drug information to share with students); Friday: Be Brave and ‘scare drugs away.’ Students will be allowed

to wear Halloween costumes at school.

Please follow all school dress codes. No face paint, etc.

Elementary costume parade Oct. 30

Winston Elementary will begin a costume parade at 2:30 p.m. from the west end of the building along the sidewalk to the east end of the building.

All parents are asked to park in the front lot or on the street.

Parents may stand in front of the cars in the parking lot and watch students as they walk by, practicing social distancing. This way, the fun can be shared, but at a safe distance.

Students will return to their classrooms and continue their fall party activities and plan for a regular dismissal.

Also for safety, children must sit with their parents and family units should social distance in the bleachers. Masks are encouraged, but they are not required. A concession stand will be available and partitions will be in place on cafeteria tables.

Families are encouraged to attend only their respective student’s activities.

Pattonsburg R-2 Guidelines Per the Pattonsburg R-2 School website, there are no limits on fan numbers at indoor home events at this time. Social distancing is stressed, however, and masks are recommended.

Home team fans will use the south bleachers and visiting fans will use the north bleachers. There will be a concession stand on the visitor side.

These guidelines are subject to change as necessary.

Winston R-6 Guidelines The Winston R-6 School District is asking fans to respect and adhere to guidelines while working to keep players, coaches and fans as safe as possible during the pandemic.

Home game attendance will be limited to immediate family members of participants (parents/guardians, siblings and grandparents) and 7th-12th grade students for both home and visiting teams. Visiting schools will be required to submit a listing of attendees prior to game day. Home games will be live-streamed on the Winston Facebook page for those who cannot attend.

Only fans on the pass list will be admitted to the games at this time. The pass list will also be maintained to provide to the Health Department names of those in attendance if there is a need for contact tracing.

Students in grades 6 and under will only be admitted with parents and must sit with them throughout the games. Fans will be expected to sit in family units and stay socially distanced from other families.

Face mask usage and social distancing throughout the event is requested of all fans, students, coaches, players and cheerleaders not actively participating in the game.

If mask usage and social distancing can be maintained, school officials hope to open up more attendance in future games. If mask usage and social distancing cannot be maintained at this attendance level, further restrictions will be considered for future games.

Home fans are asked to sit on the south half of the bleachers and visiting fans are asked to sit on the north half of the bleachers.

Gilman City Guidelines Gilman City Schools have put out guidelines and expectations for COVID-19 in order to keep players, coaches and fans safe.

Social distancing is encouraged at all times inside Gilman City School. Face coverings are highly recommended and will be available to those who need them. Concession stands will be open and social distancing is encouraged while waiting in line and sitting at tables.

No in-person conferences planned at Gallatin R-5 Social distancing requirements that have been implemented in Gallatin R-5 Schools have led the school district to the decision to not hold in-person parent-teacher conferences for the first quarter 2020-21 year.

GMS teachers have begun contacting the parents of students receiving less than a C (70%) average. This does not mean that teachers will not conference with parents about the student’s progress if so desired.

If parents do desire a conference, they may contact their child’s teacher by email or by calling (660) 663-2172 and leaving a message with Mrs. Chadwick. Staff email addresses can be found on the school website.
