MDC and CFM encourage deer hunters to consider options in ‘Share the Harvest’ The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) and the Conservation Federation of Missouri (CFM) encourage deer hunters around the state to share their harvests through the state’s Share the Harvest program. Participating meat processors in the area include: ● Brown Custom Meats, 13227 Drake Ave., Pattonsburg, (660) 663-5010; ● Flowers Processing LLC, 33389 Axle Ave., Brimson, (660) 7893600; ● Stoney Ridge Custom Processing, 25504 St. Hwy 190, Jamesport, (660) 684-6850.

Administered by MDC and

CFM, Share the Harvest coordinates the efforts of thousands of deer hunters, numerous participating meat processors, many local supporting organizations, and a handful of statewide sponsors to help feed hungry Missourians. The program works by deer hunters donating their extra venison — from several pounds to whole deer — to participating meat processors throughout the state who grind and package the deer meat. The packaged venison is then given to food banks and food pantries for distribution to Missourians in need of food assistance. “Hunters started Share the

Harvest because they saw a need in their communities,” said MDC Director Sara Pauley. “And hunters remain the driving force behind this popular program that helps feed our fellow Missourians who are in need. We sincerely thank the thousands of deer hunters who support Share the Harvest, along with the many participating meat processors and sponsors.” Processing fees are covered entirely or in part by numerous local sponsors, along with statewide sponsors that include: MDC, CFM, Shelter Insurance, Bass Pro Shops, Missouri Chapter Safari Club International, (continued on page 3)

It’s definitely a small world! by Troy Lesan

Recently, a couple of Lake Viking Association members discovered an amazing connection. It’s a coincidence that defies the odds! Dan August had given Dennis Schlaiss (everyone calls him “Shoe”) a call because he was having computer problems. He didn’t really know Dennis but had heard about his computer savvy. Dennis told him to bring his laptop over. When Dan arrived at the Schlaiss home, the two began to converse. Dennis mentioned that he was originally from Chicago, and the conversation went something like this: “Oh, yeah, I’m originally from Chicago, too,” Dan said, and then he asked Dennis what part of Chicago he was from. “North side,” was the answer. “Me, too,” Dan August replied. “What part?” “My family owned a house on West Ainslie Street,” Dennis stated. Dan was amazed. His family had also lived on West Ainslie Street! Out came the Google maps. More information was exchanged. As the two compared locations, they came to the realization that they had lived just two houses apart! This was too much coincidence. So, Dennis called his father, and then gave the phone to Dan for the two men to converse. Like Dennis, his father, Ben Schlaiss, grew up in the house on West Ainslie Street, and there was only a few years difference

in Ben’s and Dan’s ages. Chicago is heavily Catholic and has a huge parochial school system — with the schools and churches established along ethnic lines. Ben Schlaiss went to the German Catholic School, and Dan August went to the Polish Catholic School. They existed in different circles, but they definitely remembered each other. Dennis remembered riding his bicycle around the neighborhood as a boy and recalled that the driveway of the August house was one of his boundaries. By the time Ben Schlaiss and Dan exchanged names of different people they had known and memories of the old neighborhood, they had been on the phone for almost an hour. Both families had strong roots in Chicago. Dennis’s grandmother worked for years at the hallowed grounds of Chicago’s Wrigley Field. Ben now resides in Arizona. Members of Dan’s immediate family have left Chicago but he still has second and third cousins there. West Ainslie Street, in the meantime, because of its proximity to Chicago’s near north end, has become a trendy neighborhood with memories of the quiet middle-class neighborhood faded forever — with the lingering reminder to Dennis Schlaiss and Dan August that it’s truly a small world.

Highway 13 bridge replacement scheduled May to August, 2018 Plans are underway to replace the bridge on Route 13 over Honey Creek. The Missouri Department of Transportation held a community briefing on Oct. 19 at the Gallatin R-5 School in the commons area. Area farmers expressed concern that construction might interfere with field work. Designers and engineers from the Missouri Department of Transportation said the goal is to start before farmers need to get in the field, and also before school starts. According to MoDOT’s timetable, the design phase and comment period is taking place now. The letting for contractor bids will take place next March; contracts will be awarded in April; and the contractor will have authority to begin work in May. The completion date is set for Aug. 2018. The schedule is only a proposal and is subject to change.

MoDOT personnel attending the Oct. 19 meeting included Tim Miner, highway designer; Darin Splittgarber, with the consulting firm for the bridge design; Rick Orr, project manager; Austin Hibler, area engineer; Marcia Johnson, communication specialist; and not pictured, Emily Bryan, communication specialist. Representative J. Eggleston also attended. Once the contract has been awarded, MoDOT will meet with the contractor to determine the exact schedule of the closure. Area farmers asked if the new bridge would be any wider. The new bridge will be six feet wider. The current bridge is 22 feet wide, has two 10-foot lanes

and one-foot shoulders. The new bridge will be 28 feet wide with two 12-foot lanes and two-foot shoulders. Fishermen and trappers — that have occasion to be under the bridge — told the engineers that the bridge shakes when traffic goes over. MoDOT officials

said if the bridge were not safe, people would not be allowed to drive over it. The present bridge was built in 1934 and does not meet current standards and has a weight limit. The new bridge will meet current standards and the weight restric-

tions will be removed. The road will be closed during construction. Closing saves taxpayer money by allowing the contractor to work more efficiently, (continued on page 3)

All is not well by F reida M arie C ru m p

Do we have something to say? Will a vehicle license office ever reopen in Gallatin? That question is being examined in depth right now. Friday, a group of city and county officials met with Joel Walters, director of the Missouri Department of Revenue, at the Active Aging Resource Center for discussion. Mr. Walters was appointed by Gov. Greitens on April 1 and, thus, has been making such decisions for only six months. Mr. Walters, along with his legislative director, Mark Siettmann, came here to explain, as well as to listen. First, they stated a goal. Director Walters described that the process in determining where license offices are to be located has been changed from art (read that politics) to facts. The Department of Revenue now applies two criteria in making office decisions: 1. Service and Coverage. If an office were to close, would the created void require a 20-mile travel distance for any citizen in need of services? 2. Economics. Does the office handle at least 12,000 transactions per year, a level considered “break even” for an office to operate? Gallatin has arguments on both counts— barely. The first count, mileage, is the easier measure. The nearest license office for Gallatin residents is Kingston’s office (21.2 miles) which, no doubt, now benefits from Gallatin’s void. The next closest office is at Cameron (23.8 miles). Even Mr. Walters and Mr. Siettmann acknowledge how some Gallatin people now endure the cost in time and travel expense beyond their arbitrary 20-mile perimeter. Local officials voiced the negative impact for households on fixed income. But the inconvenience means dollars for others as well. Farmers with multiple trucks and trailers multiply the expense—to say nothing about repeated trips made necessary whenever the applicant fails to present all the necessary documentation or the license application was incorrectly forwarded due to some error. Gallatin’s argument for the second count also involves geography. Larger towns surrounding Gallatin have always sliced away at Gallatin’s market share. Cameron, Bethany, Trenton, and Chillicothe separately slice off portions of Daviess County from Gallatin. That’s true in business and also true for license office transactions. Gallatin, however, can argue that the timing of license office

renewals can unfairly impact license office renewal. If for whatever reason the office at Kingston or at Maysville should close, then some of those transactions would probably come to Gallatin. Mr. Siettmann confirmed that an office closing was only considered at the time of bid renewal. Director Walters conceded that the sequence or the timing of of-

In other words, Gallatin’s timing is just unlucky by having the license office come up for bid before others, like Kingston or Maysville. Closing Gallatin actually helps neighboring offices remain solvent, especially in those two towns. But wouldn’t the reverse then hold true? Why is Gallatin penalized just because the office here happened to come open first? What makes each license office profitable is fairly transparent. The fees and commissions are established by law for all offices across the state. So, you just tally the number of transactions each office handles minus

costs to show net profit. Gallatin is one of only three communities identified by the Nixon Administration as a location to lose its license office. But, politics being politics, the action was deferred until the Greiten administration took control. Meanwhile, sometimes the Gallatin office fails to attract anyone to bid; most recently, three did submit bids wanting to operate the Gallatin office while state officials contemplated what they deem most prudent. So here’s an idea. What if Gallatin, either by city or county or whatever, offered an office space rent free to whomever secures the bid? There are certainly vacant buildings available. Would it be in this community’s best interest to cross that business boundary in the quest for retaining a local service? I think so. How ‘bout you? Walmart began training consumers to ignore loyalty to local businesses and services years ago, and we’ve learned their strategy (too) well. Sadly, having to travel to a license office elsewhere just gives us another reason to do business elsewhere. Declining sales tax revenue for Gallatin means fewer dollars for street paving and utility services that make this a better place to live. In the big picture, perhaps downsizing the number of license offices across Missouri makes sense. But it’s hard to embrace efficiency when downsizing means eliminating something local. Losing the license office is just another verse in a familiar song. It’s being sung by the United States Postal Service. It’s an overture for public education (do five separate school systems in Daviess County, graduating less than a total of 100 seniors a year, really make sense?). It can be argued for county services as well (only Texas, Georgia, Virginia and Kentucky have more counties than Missouri’s 115). Would we be better served, for instance, by a district attorney rather than each county’s prosecutor? When your numbers are in decline (population, enrollment, income, jobs ...you name it), losing local control in the name of progress for the greater good is an all too familiar refrain. Maybe that’s why Friday’s meeting wasn’t widely publicized. I was quite impressed that our state director of revenue took the time to personally visit and discuss our circumstances continued on page

Greetings from Poosey. The village, like all small villages in those days, had a Towne Crier. His name was Tom. Each evening, at precisely 5:30, Tom would walk the streets of his tiny village, ringing his bell, and announcing whatever news he had managed to glean from passing travelers and the residents of the town. Then again just at 10 p.m. he would again stroll through the tiny streets, ringing his bell, giving a briefer version of the day’s events, proclaiming “All is Well!” then going to bed. Everyone went to bed after Tom had given his last cry of the day. Things went along in this merry and comfortable fashion for many years and Tom the Towne Crier became a man of great esteem, for he would never knowing cry any news other than what he believed to be the truth. The village grew. The streets became longer, and after some years had passed another Crier walked the streets each evening, then another. Each Towne Crier had a slightly different method of telling the day’s news. But each of their stories were pretty much the same, thus confirming the truth of the other two. It was a good arrangement, this merry and comfortable fashion. Then things began to change. Even the elders of the town were not sure where it began, but other Town Criers began to spring up it seemed on every street corner. And with so many criers crying out the nightly news, the competition grew fierce. The truth of what had happened that day no longer became most important, but rather that the citizens of the town would listen to this crier instead of that one. The result? They cried louder. They shouted! And they no longer cried “the news” just twice daily, but all day long. They walked the noisy streets of the village, not only shouting out the news but trying to out shout the other shouters. It became a very, very noisy village. The people were perplexed! To whom should we listen? For more and more the news the Town Criers cried was not a single voice of truth, but something ...well ...something quite different indeed. One crier, in attempt to draw attention away from the others would try to make his tale more colorful ...more interesting ...more sensational. Then the next crier would color the tone of his cry a bit brighter, perhaps adding a small detail here, changing a fact there. But the worst was yet to come. The once peaceful village where people thought much the same as each other and believed in the same general things become factioned. The “news” the Criers cried did not suit them. Then one evening just before his nightly rounds, one of the larger and loudest Criers had a rush of thought: “Aha! I shall make up news just to suit those who will hear me! They will pay me well for reporting only the news they want to hear! Better yet! I shall make up my own news! This will please them and I shall become the most popular and well-paid Towne Crier of all!” And he did. Then another Towne Crier took up the idea and cried “Ditto! I shall do the same!” And he did. Then another and another and before the once tranquil and agreeable village understood what was happening, their little settlement was chock-full of Town Criers crying out news that was not at all true... at least it was heavily colored with the needs of each particular Crier and it made their purses fatter and fatter. Instead of simply crying out the news each night, the town’s new flock of noisy Criers had actually become leaders of people’s thinking. Instead of walking the streets each evening and retelling the day’s news, they were the ones making the news. Oh, some people laughed at this. Some people spent much of their day being entertained by the plague of Criers. But the village, the once serene village, began to slowly rip apart. For where the truth cannot be found, peace is hard to come by. Where could they go for the truth? Poor Tom the Towne Crier had disappeared. No one wanted to hear the simple truth so he found no occupation in crying. Some say he became a shoe cobbler in the neighboring village. You ever ‘round Poosey, stop by. We may not answer the door but you’ll enjoy the trip.

‘Share the Harvest’ (continued from page 1) Missouri Chapter National Wild Turkey Federation, Midway USA Inc., Missouri Food Banks Association, and United Bowhunters of Missouri Hunters should contact individual processors to determine what funds are available. The cost of processing is the hunter’s responsibility when funds to help cover the full cost of processing are not available. “Share the Harvest is a partnership of citizens, agencies, organizations, and corpora-

tions working together to provide healthy, protein-rich meat to those who may otherwise go without,” said CFM Executive Director Brandon Butler. “Hunters should be proud of this outstanding program.” Nearly 4,300 Missouri deer hunters donated more than 198,000 pounds of venison to the program last deer season. Since the program was started in 1992, Share the Harvest has provided more than 3.6 million pounds of lean, healthy venison.

Bridge replacement (continued from page 1) and it will result in a shorter construction period. The proposed signage for detour is over US Route 36, Interstate 35, and Route 6. As for buying right-of-ways, MoDOT says only the purchase of two construction easements is anticipated at this time. Other questions were in regard to the steady eroding of Honey Creek. Asked about the cost of the bridge, MoDOT said the final design plan should be done in November and then they should have a final cost. The bridge on Route 13 over Honey Creek 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. MoDOT said the new bridge should last into the next century. REAL ESTATE:

Fixing Lifeline phone plan abuse by S en. C l aire M c C ask il l

The Lifeline program, which is funded by one of the taxes listed at the very bottom of your monthly phone bill, was set up under the Reagan Administration in 1985 as a way to provide low-income Americans with subsidized phone (and later broadband) service. The notion did, and still does, make sense. After all, in today’s economy, it’s hard to imagine getting a job without access to a phone or the Internet. But no matter how valuable the program is in theory, it’s wasting millions of taxpayer dollars. It allows the telecommunications carriers who profit from the program to verify eligibility for their participants — and too many are turning a blind eye. I first began to suspect problems in the Lifeline program when I, a financially secure United States senator, was solicited for subsidized phone service by one of the many carriers that participate in this federal program. We’ve certainly all received odd solicitations from time to time, but this made me wonder if carriers were casting an unjustifiably wide net in their quest to sign up new participants. Following this incident, I learned that while anecdotal concerns of waste and fraud within the Lifeline program were numerous, neither Congress nor federal regulators had taken a comprehensive look into whether or not the program was being responsibly run. After discussing the issue with industry and policy experts I requested a comprehensive study of the Lifeline program from the top federal watchdog, the Government Accountability Office. And for nearly three years I waited for them to tell me whether the waste I’d suspected was occurring or not. The results were released in June and they speak for themselves: Eligibility could not be confirmed for more than one-third of sampled participants, millions of dollars were flowing to fictitious or deceased individuals, and undercover tests revealed that applications including false information were overwhelmingly accepted. And though we’ve proposed tens of millions of dollars in proposed fines for various telecommunications companies, the government has made almost no effort to collect — and is even allowing those same companies to continue participating in the program. We recently held a bipartisan Senate hearing on Lifeline where the chairman of the Federal Com-

munications Commission, the government agency responsible for overseeing the program, said major reforms were currently being implemented and that the rampant waste, fraud and abuse that had continued unabated for years would soon be addressed. But I’m not holding my breath. The foundation of the program — allowing telecommunications carriers who have a financial incentive to enroll participants to also verify their eligibility — is deeply flawed and unless fundamental changes are made, the problems plaguing the program won’t be solved. I’ll keep a very close eye on these promised reforms, particularly the transition to having a third-party rather than the phone companies verify customer eligibility. But if they don’t achieve dramatically better results, then we need to take whatever steps are necessary to change the program’s course and better protect Americans’ tax dollars. I know this will be an uphillisbattle. Democrats, d myself included, have often criticized Republicans for simply rejecting data that didn’t fit their preconceived notions — whether it was rejecting and obfuscating climate science because their ideolSa to compatible curr nt w o rto tackle orit, or at ogy wasn’t with solutions rejecting Congressional Budget Office projections that millions of Americans could lose health care coverage under their plans — because the truth was politically unhelpful. I’ve lived my personal and political life by the idea that you can’t wish away hard truths. Yet that’s what too many in my party are doing with the Lifeline program. Lifeline was poorly structured and badly executed from the start. The goal of providing low-income Americans help in regaining their economic footing with phone and broadband service is worthwhile and admirable — but that doesn’t mean that any plan doing that is worthy of unequivocal support. Since first raising issues with Lifeline in 2012, I’ve been harshly attacked by democrats claiming that I’m harming the interests of program participants. Sidestepping the problems in this terribly run program is a disservice to all participants as well as those footing the bill, and will endanger the program’s existence if we allow it to continue. I’ll remain engaged on this issue and committed to serious changes. In the meantime, I encourage my party, as well as my friends from across the aisle, to join me in pushing for oversight and accountability regardless of its political convenience.

One plan is a $2,000 deductible with optional employee paid dental and vision. The other plan is a $3,000 deductible with an employer paid Health Savings Account (HAS) contribution and optional employer paid dental and vision. Discussion was held on the People Service Operation and Maintenance Report for September 2017. Board reviewed Eichler’s September Bookkeeping Review Report. Board reviewed MIRMA (Missouri Municipal Trust) October newsletter. Administrator Tony Stonecypher announced that if Friends of Gallatin purchases the bucket truck, the truck is subject to

The board requested the street transportation tax project amount be increased to $100,000 to be used for another street resurfacing project. Discussion was held on capital improvement projects for 2018. The board will revisit the budget discussion at the next meeting. The above are taken from the unapproved minutes of the City of Gallatin held on Monday, Oct. 23, at city hall.

All the right pated discussion. folks are listening and, by all appearances, for the right reasons. There is little to make us think that the number of transactions to assure a license office in Gallatin will improve. In fact, with the convenience of the internet, once the flap over photo ID and security matters are resolved, the state anticipates fewer and fewer actual license office locations in the future over time. The state thinks license offices will decrease. I wish it weren’t so. No matter how fiercely or emotionally we voice our opposition, there’s simply too much inconvenient truth to ignore. In my view, it’s not whether we get upset or even mad about the state’s swipe at all the Gallatins of this world. We’re told over and over and in many ways how we don’t matter.

mann drove through Kingston on their way back home to Jefferson City. I hope they will reconsider their logic (and understand, I’m not advocating for the Kingston license office to close). This could be a time when raising a little hell is necessary, providing we recall what Harry Truman actually said: “I never did give anybody hell. I just told the truth and they thought it was hell.” I believe our state leaders will return here and revisit this topic if we’ve got something new to say. Ultimately, they are accountable for any decision here and how what plays out here is applied equally across the state. I get that, don’t you? The real discussion is whether this community can pull itself together, to propose an equipped office facility that would help assure both the state and the party winning the bid to operate a profitable two person license office here. Otherwise, we’ve really got nothing to talk about.

Putnam Midgets score late on big plays, eliminate Bulldogs, 32-22, on home field For the second time this season, Gallatin’s defense failed to hold Putnam County out of the end zone in the fourth quarter. Big plays proved to be the Bulldogs’ downfall. The Midgets scored late on a 76-yard pass from Levi Fowler to Grant Sands, and added an 83-yard TD run from Carson Quint to close out Gallatin’s season at 6-4. The two teams traded touchdowns throughout the first half,

with Gallatin holding a 22-18 lead thanks to a two-point conversion and the return to action of placekicker Adrian Hernandez. Caleb Boyd scored on a 60-yard run and added the conversion to stake the Bulldogs to an 8-0 lead in the middle of the opening quarter. The Midgets answered with a TD but failed on the conversion attempt. A Cole McBee to Gaven Gray pass covering 35 yards gave Gallatin a 15-6 cushion after the PAT from Hernandez. Putnam County got on the board again in the final minute of the first to cut the gap to 15-12. Boyd’s second TD run of the night, this time from 18 yards out gave Gallatin a two-possession lead, 22-12, after the PAT. But the Midgets again answered quickly with a score to narrow the gap to 22-18 at the break. Both teams struggled, offensively, in the third quarter until the Midgets broke through with the game-winning score with 10 minutes to play in the final period. Highlighting GHS defensive efforts was a blocked punt by Graydee Rains that set up one Bulldog score. Rains, McBee and Noah Engel were kept busy on defense with all three registered double digit tackles. Boyd finished with a team-high 129 yards on the ground on 17 carries. Corbin Toney added 82 yards for the Bulldogs on eight carries. Putnam County runners also

put up some big numbers. Quint finished with 204 yards rushing and teammate Torqe Brundage posted 127 yards on the ground. Fowler threw for 181 yards, including 174 to Sands. In other Class 1, District 8 action on Friday, top-seeded Princeton manhandled Maysville, 558; #2 Hamilton played starters for one half before downing Milan, 35-0; and #4 South Harrison defeated Polo, 38-20. South Harrison travels to Princeton this Friday and Putnam County heads to Hamilton for semifinal action.

Missouri Baptist Executive Director Dr. John Yeats will also be present to share and pray. If inclement weather threatens, the gathering will be held either inside the courthouse or at First Baptist Church of Gallatin.

The great theme of the book of Numbers is my unfaithfulness against the backdrop of God's great unchanging, unfailing faithfulness. I can be expected to be selfwilled, unbelieving, even rebellious. God can be expected to be always faithfully providing, loving, leading, disciplining, and chastising. The book of Numbers identifies many sins of mine and the children of Israel. It seems that one sin is highlighted: murmuring. Murmuring would include grumbling, complaining, griping, ungratefulness, etc. It seems that the book of Numbers mentions at least nine episodes of murmuring in the Wilderness. The children of Israel murmured and complained against a wide variety of things. The people murmured against circumstances and against their leaders. The leaders murmured against the people. God condemned every instance of it. The Bible is very plain in Numbers 11:1, “Now the people became like those who complain of adversity in the hearing of the Lord; and when the Lord heard it, His anger was kindled, and the fire of the Lord burned among them and consumed some of the outskirts of the camp.” (NASU) What is so bad about murmuring? God first brought up the topic in Exodus 16:7-8, “In the morning you will see the glory of the Lord, for He hears your grumblings against the Lord; and what are we, that you grumble against us?" Moses said, "This will happen when the Lord gives you meat to eat in the evening, and bread to the full in the morning; for the Lord hears your grumblings which you grumble against Him. And what are we? Your grumblings are not against us but against the Lord.” (NASU) It seems that because we serve a sovereign God, all grumbling and complaining is in the final analysis against God Himself. If we consider that nothing is outside the reach of God, we will conclude that every complaint is a denial of His sovereignty. I must admit this truth is much easier understood in theory than in reality. What if all Christians never complained again? What if I never complained again? Conflict would be in great decline. Peace and joy and happiness would be in much greater supply. Surely there are times when wrongs need to be righted. Certainly, there is a proper way to register legitimate complaints. However, we are prone to murmur in the background, delivering personal attacks against people instead of reasonably discussing needed changes in policy or methods. I imagine that we could all agree that we are inclined to approach these situations in a negative spirit, with a sour attitude. The fact that this is such a difficult thing to control provides Christians with a tremendous opportunity. This is hard teaching that cuts across the grain of the sinful heart of man. It is a great testimony when God's people accept what comes to them in a spirit of thankfulness, recognizing the sovereignty of God. Surely God has not decreed explicitly all the things that have happened to me, but He has at least permitted them. What is the cure for murmuring? As fallen human beings we seem to think that changing the object of the complaint is the answer but it is not. If I complain about bad food, substituting good food will not cure my problem. Bad food is not the problem; thinking I deserve something better than I have received is the problem. It is a matter of the heart. Looking to Jesus, considering what He received in my place, is the cure. As the hymn writer has rightly observed, “Turn your eyes upon Jesus and the things of earth will grow strangely dim.” One glimpse of His dear face should stop my murmuring.

Try to get a jump on deer this year Colonel Sandra K. Karsten, superintendent of the Missouri State Highway Patrol, reminds drivers that deer are more active and create hazards for Missouri motorists this time of year. Last year, drivers in Missouri experienced 4,604 traffic crashes where deer-vehicle strikes occurred. One deer strike occurred every 1.9 hours in the state. In these crashes, there were six fatalities and 455 people were injured. Deer create hazards for Missouri motorists. The Missouri State Highway Patrol reminds drivers that an attempt to avoid striking a deer could result in a more serious crash involving oncoming traffic. Try to remain calm. Panicking and overreacting usually lead to more serious traffic crashes. The majority of deer strike crashes occur in October and November each year, with the largest number taking place in November. Although deer strikes can occur at any time, most occur between the hours of 5 p.m. and 6:59 a.m. Remember: Rural areas are not the only place where deer/vehicle strikes occur. When you see one, slow down and proceed with caution.

Deer often travel in groups— stay on guard after a close call or when you see a single deer. Natural features also affect deer movement. In areas where there are streams or wooded corridors surrounded by farmland, look for more deer to cross roadways. Deer behavior changes due to mating season, which may cause an increase in sightings and roadway crossings. Hunting and crop harvesting may result in these animals being in places they aren’t usually seen. Drivers are urged to remain alert.

Daffodil time Fall is an ideal time to establish daffodils for a glorious show of color next spring. With adequate drainage, daffodils thrive in most Missouri soils for years and are relatively pest-free. Ideally, daffodils should get at least five hours of sunlight each day. When planting, space daffodils 6-12 inches apart, depending on the cultivar and desired flowering effect. Fuller displays of flowers require closer spacing and more frequent division of the bulbs.

Do you dicamba? Dicamba application has presented challenges for Missouri agriculture, and the University of Missouri recognizes the importance of preparing our communities for managing this and similar technologies in the future. Beginning in December 2017, the MU College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources, and MU Extension, in cooperation with the Missouri Department of Agriculture, will offer web-based and in-person training for those wishing to use or purchase dicamba in 2018. On Oct. 13 the Environmental Protection Agency announced an agreement with Monsanto, BASF and DuPont on measures to minimize the potential for offtarget movement of dicamba and further ensure effective use of three pesticides: DuPont’s FeXapan, BASF’s Engenia and Monsanto’s XtendiMax. The Missouri Department of Agriculture is reviewing these requirements as preparations are made for the 2018 growing season.

Good, gourd! From hats to birdhouses, these pumpkin relatives are nature’s multiuse utensils, save the seed Our ancestors couldn’t go to the hardware store or shopping mall to buy utensils and other household essentials. Instead, they improvised with items found in nature. The dried fruit of several members of the cucumber family proved useful for many purposes, said University of Missouri Extension horticulturist David Trinklein. Today, we call these plants gourds, and they may be among the first domesticated plant species, dating back as early as 13,000 B.C. The fibrous interior of gourds from the genus Luffa has been used for items as diverse as oil filters, life preservers, scrubbing sponges (called “luffas” or “loofahs”), hats and upholstery. Most of the colorful gourds people use for autumn decoration belong to the genus Cucurbita. They are close relatives of pumpkin. Members of this genus produce yellow flowers that open during the day and have coarser foliage than the white-flowers types. Examples include the pear, egg, orange, spoon, bicolor and warted gourds. If you have gourds in your garden, harvest small ornamental gourds as soon as rinds mature and harden. Cut them from the main vine, allowing a small portion of the stem to remain at-

tached. Whether harvested or purchased, fresh gourds need to cure for several weeks in a warm, dry area with good air circulation. After curing, dip or coat them with a household disinfectant to prevent storage diseases. A light coat of wax also protects them from disease and gives them an attractive sheen. Leave the hard-shelled gourds on the vines until vines die or freeze in late fall. Freezing does not harm mature gourds but it causes immature ones to collapse. Store hard-shelled gourds in a warm, dry area to cure. For most types, curing takes about four months. Curing is finished when the seeds inside

the gourd rattle when shaken. The gourd can then be sanded, sawed, painted or polished. “For adventuresome gardeners, saving seeds from gourds can be interesting,” said Trinklein. Cucurbits freely crosspollinate, so seeds saved from gourds grown in the garden will likely produce fruit of different shapes, sizes and colors. “More likely than not, very few of the offspring will resemble the fruit from which the seed was saved.” For more information, see David Trinklein’s article about gourds in the August 2015 issue of “Missouri Environment & Garden” at ipm.missouri.edu/ MEG/?ID=347.

Delegates to Silver Haired Legislature choose priorities, plans to advocate The 44th Annual Conference of the Silver Haired Legislature took place at the State Capitol in Jefferson City on Oct. 16, 17, and 18. The 114 delegates in attendance chose their Top Five Priorities and formulated plans to advocate for Senior issues during the coming legislative session. After spirited debates in the Legislative chambers, the delegates chose these issues as their Top Five Priorities for the 2018 legislative session: Senior Services Growth & Development Services Revision of MoRx Increase Funding for HomeDelivered Meals Provided by Area Agencies on Aging. Maintain Property Tax Credit Known as the Circuit Breaker for Renters and Homeowners at the

2016 Level Approval of Medical Marijuana Use in Missouri Anyone interested in learning further details about the priorities of the Silver Haired Legislature is encouraged to call or e-mail Freda Miller at 855-2057520, fmiller@nwmoaaa.org or SHL Delegate, John Murphy at 816-449-5759, farmerjohn39@yahoo.com Missouri’s Silver Haired Legislature was founded in 1973, the first in the nation after the Older Americans Act was amended to include advocacy groups. The SHL is composed of 15 volunteers from each of the ten statewide Area Agencies on Aging. These 150 senior advocates, elected by their peers, identify and advocate for issues critical to older Missourians.

Winston readies new school with IP, security Winston R-6 Board of Education approved working with education consultants, K12ITC for Kansas City, for district technology services for the new building and district. This will include an Internet Protocol (IP) phone system which transmits telephone calls over an IP network, such as the internet. All staff will have phones in their rooms with voicemail capabilities. This will allow the district to expand and improve their wireless network to allow full implementation of the one-to-one device initiative for the elementary and high school where all students will have use of personal computers such as a Chromebook. Security for the new building was also discussed during the board’s Oct. 16 meeting, and approval was given to continue using Midwest Digital Systems for security cameras and access controls. Discussions were held concerning new furnishings and equipment for the new building. Furniture and equipment layouts have been in development and are being evaluated to maintain value of quality products and to make classrooms as collaborative as possible. Projections have Winston students moving into their new school building during the first part of the second semester. Second semester begins in January of 2018. The board reapproved the high school and junior high football cooperative agreement with Maysville for the 2018-2019 school year. Superintendent Brian Robinson reported on fuel costs. The following is the average Winston bus diesel fuel cost comparison versus previous years: Sept. 2017 – $2.20; Sept. 2016 – $1.80; Sept. 2015 – $1.94; Sept. 2014 $3.17; Sept. 2013 - $3.46; Sept. 2012 - $3.37; Sept. 2011 - $2.53; Sept. 2010 - $2.09.

Volunteers who walk the walk by T.L. Huffman, North Missourian staff writer

Karen and Bill Reed, directors of the Seventh Day Community Service Center, recently received 1,400 pounds of carrots from Second Harvest Food Bank. A truck came with a big box on a wooden pallet. “If you like raw carrots or carrots in your stew or want to can carrots, come in and get some carrots,” Karen laughs. She explains that the center has its own distribution system that finds outlets for large amounts of produce so that nothing goes to waste. “All of the area food banks work together. If we have excess, we phone around. That way we can all get a little bit.” Semi-truck accidents are an unexpected supply source for the center. One recent semi was upended carrying dairy products. Another was carrying beans. Now the center has lots of yogurt and all kinds of beans — black beans, great northern beans, garbanzo beans and mixed beans. The Reeds have been the directors of the service center since the early 1980s when it was located on West Mill Street in an old twostory house. “The center has grown intensely since then,” says Karen. “In the little house we only gave things away. Then we started one room, where Nina Clevenger sold vases, pans, knickknacks. We thought, why not have a thrift shop? The funds could help take care of the costs included in running a place.” In those early years, there were only a handful of volunteers. Then came the flood of 1993. The center was asked to take care of all the clothing donated to flood victims, which was stacked in the high school gym. It was a huge undertaking and through that effort, the center volunteers got acquainted with volunteers from various churches in the area. The start of something good…and big! The new Gallatin Seventh-Day Adventist Community Service Center was built in the spring of 1997 and today averages around 20 volunteers. The volunteers are a mix of young and old and various churches: Adventist, Baptists, Methodists, Mormon, Christian, etc — people who might not otherwise have occasion to meet. They all have one thing in common. They’re ready to do just about anything to make the center run like a clean, well-oiled machine. They give their time and burn their own gas. They vacuum and dust. They chop up cardboard boxes and haul off recyclables. High school boys have helped load things and teenage girls have worked as cashiers. In return, the volunteers find meaningful work, purpose, and a huge circle of friends. Volunteers are always being sought. Karen is partial to widows and widowers. “They can do more than watch television or sit on the porch,” she says. “They can get out of the house and help the community.” The service center has certain rules/qualifications for volunteers: • Physically able to lift a case of food • No smoking • No little children The Seventh Day Community Service Center is open every Wednesday. There are two entrances. The east entrance is off Willow Street. Before you even enter the doors, you will see items sitting around on the sidewalk and porch. This stuff is all free to anyone. These things are leftovers from the thrift shop. There may also be cardboard boxes outside there for people to pick up.

First, select from free clothing After you enter the double doors, your first stop should be the free clothing room on your left. This clothing is usable and clean; it is a little too worn for the thrift shop, and it is free to anyone. After you select your clothing, sign the book and put a number by what items you’ve taken. It would be easiest if you took the free items to your vehicle at this point.

She will determine if you are there for commodities or the fresh room or both (or if you are a new person signing up for the first time). Signing the clipboard lets Cindy know how many are in your family so she can pick the right box of commodities. Wait for your number to be called. While you wait, shop in the fresh room. The fresh room, or pantry, is straight ahead. This is the area by the refrigerator with a glass front. The fresh room is for county residents only. The produce comes from Wal-Mart or the Jamesport Auction or is given by people who have extra from their gardens. The canned pantry food comes from food drives by the post office, boy scouts, churches, and so forth. Keep in mind… there are no fresh room products on the second Wednesday of the month. “There is something different every week in the pantry,” Karen says. “We always try to have something for you to take, even though there may be no vegetables in the refrigerator.” When you come in to the fresh room/food pantry, you will be asked for: • proof of address; • proof of income; • proof of how many in household are on food stamps; • picture identification (ID).

Get the box with your name on it By now, Cindy will have put your name on a box of commodities. The box will be brought to you. They’ll even take it out to your vehicle if you need them to. If it sounds like there’s a system to it, there is. “We have to have people take their turn,” Karen says. “We just don’t have enough room for six or eight people at one time.” Emergency food pantry for county citizens There is an emergency food pantry available. This is both canned and fresh food and is free to everyone in Daviess County (with proof of residency). “This is a nice box of food that is for people who get in a bind,” Karen says, “they’ve had an accident or a fire, a job loss, or the grandmother who has to take care of the grandkids.” Second Harvest Senior Program allows 35 pounds of food in addition to commodities. This is for people over 60 who are living off of social security income and trying to stay out of debt. “Most of these seniors spend their money on medical bills,” Karen says. The process is not without paperwork. The center must follow government guidelines for fresh produce and commodities through the USDA. The Government Commodities Program is from Second Harvest in St. Joseph. It is delivered every month. Second Harvest serves 15 counties and the commodities are divided by how many people are served. Daviess County, being a smaller county, receives a smaller percentage. Other paperwork must be turned into Retired Senior Volunteer Program and the Adventist Development and Relief Agency and Second Harvest. Facilities open for community use The Seventh Day Adventist Center is for the community, and the fellowship/dining hall is available for non-profit meetings. As of now, the VFW Ladies and AA meet there. The Thrift Shop is on Clay Street. Clothes from 0-4 are priced mostly at 25 cents, except for some brand names which may be a little higher. Adult clothes are 50 cents for the tops and one dollar for the bottoms/jeans. There’s just about everything in the thrift shop — glassware, lamps, pots and pans, etc. “Right now we have a sale going on with 50 percent off vintage glass, ceramics and crystal,” Karen says.

Individuals, clubs, schools… you are welcome to come by and take a tour through the Seventh Day Adventist Community Service Center in Gallatin Money goes to help, not to the church Thrift Shop money goes to the Food Pantry and Commodities Program and utilities, medical and emergency help. It does not go to Seventh Day Adventist Church. “The church supports this,” says Karen. “This does not support the church.” The center welcomes donations of clothing but does ask you to be thoughtful. “Be selective,” says Karen. “The center isn’t a drop-off center for junk.” Place drop-offs on Willow Street. An inside room is available. “We really want to thank the community for the help and donations, financial support and, especially, the volunteers,” says Karen. “Without the community’s help, this place would be closed. Please come by, I’ll give you a tour!”
