Election decisions loom next Tuesday

M M M M

Preliminary data from the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) shows that young hunters ages 6 through 15 harvested 13,560 deer during Missouri’s early youth portion of the 2018 deer hunting season, which ran Oct. 27-28. Daviess County youth harvested 46 antlered bucks; 10 button bucks; and 30 does for a total of 86.

Top counties for the early youth portion were Howell with 350, Osage with 316, and Franklin with 263 deer checked. Last year’s harvest total for the early youth portion was 17,412.

“Warm temperatures and gusty winds this weekend presented much more challenging hunting conditions compared to last year, but Missouri’s youth still pulled off a respectable harvest,” said MDC Cervid Program Supervisor Barb Keller.

For the latest deer harvest totals by county and portion, visit MDC’s website at http://on.mo.gov/1jjz7Ew. Archery deer hunting continues through Nov. 9 and again from Nov. 21 through Jan. 15, 2019. Up next for deer hunting in Missouri is the November portion of firearms deer season, which runs Nov. 10-20. That will be followed by the late youth portion of firearms deer season Nov. 23-25. The antlerless portion of firearms deer season runs Nov. 30-Dec. 2. Lastly the alternative methods portion will run Dec. 22- Jan. 1, 2019.

Get more information on deer hunting in Missouri through MDC’s free 2018 Fall Deer & Turkey Hunting Regulations and Information booklet available where permits are sold, from MDC regional offices and nature centers, and online.

Next Tuesday’s election ballot puts numerous decisions before those eligible to vote in Daviess County. According to the county clerk’s office, there are 5,325 people registered to vote.

Historically, a mid-term election attracts a 35% to 40% turnout but the unusual lengthy amendments and propositions may spark more interest.

This election will be conducted in six polling locations. A sample ballot is printed on page 19 inside this issue.

Also, a 15-page special edition presenting seven proposed amendments to the state constitution and other propositions was printed twice in this newspaper in recent weeks.

There are five instances on the ballot where voters will choose between competing candidates for state and county offices. The only local election of note is between Republican Ronetta Burton and Independent Teresa Eaton vying for county clerk.

Candidates for other local and judicial offices are unopposed.

A deluge of direct mail political pieces have appeared in local mailboxes as election day approaches, primarily focusing on the U.S. Senate race between incumbent Democrat Claire McCaskill and Republican Josh Hawley. On Oct. 25 the two faced off in debate.

Addison Burns 3rd in National FFA Fair Addison Burns was selected as a top three finalist in the Division 5 Plant Science category at the National FFA Agriscience Fair, and received third overall. Addison is a senior in the Gallatin FFA Chapter and is the daughter of Brantly and Tara Burns of Gallatin.

Winners of the National FFA Agriscience Fair were announced Oct. 26 at the fifth general session of the National FFA Convention. The event was held in conjunction with the 91st National FFA Convention and Expo in Indianapolis and was sponsored by Bayer.

This past May, Addison won the state title in the Plant Science Division of the State FFA Agriscience Fair and earned the right to participate at the national level. Addison spent the summer and early fall preparing

the presentation for her national debut.

On Oct. 23, Addison made her presentation to the panel of national judges and spent the

Other candidates on the ballot are Libertarian Japheth Campbell, Green Party Joe Crain, and independent Craig O’Dear.

Voters will choose between incumbent Republican Dan Hegeman and Democrat Terry Richard for 12th District State Senator. Decisions will also be cast for 6th District Congressman between incumbent Republican Sam Graves, Democrat Henry Martin, and Libertarian Dan Hogan.

There are five candidates on the ballot for State Auditor. They are incumbent Democrat Nicole Galloway, Republican Saundra McDowell, Libertarian Sean O’Toole, Green Party Don Fitz and Constitution party candidate Jacob Luetkemeyer.

Farmers Bank to help raise funds for injured veterans Farmers Bank of Northern Missouri is partnering with the Missouri Bankers Association to provide Segways for men and women injured in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Farmers Bank hopes to raise funds for Segs4Vets, a volunteer program that provides Segway mobile transporters to help severely injured veterans.

A segway is a two-wheeled motorized personal vehicle.

This year, Farmers Bank employees may wear casual sports team or bank clothing every Friday in November if they will donate $20 to the cause. The bank has pledged to match employee contributions 100% to fund-raise for the cause.

“This is the second year that Farmers Bank of Northern Mis-

souri has supported Segs4Vets,” said David Tribble, CEO. “We are honored to help the men and women who proudly

OPINION

Oct. 31, 2018

God’s pre-op E ditor’ s note: olu n st en Brad ur a a re da ar e ru defied t e odds to e o e a an er sur or a ear a o ow e s attl n an er a a n t s t e n s and er a s elsew ere e s s ar n s ourne onl ne on t e we s te ar n Br d e at t e ollow n address tt s www ar n r d e or s t en rad ur en underwent sur er on t and s urrentl undero n ntense s al t era Readers w o a e en o ed en s w sdo and w t or t e ast ears we e u l s ed s olu ns are en oura ed to rea out to su ort en dur n t s art ularl stress ul t e b y K en Bradb ury

This is not the column I had intended to write. In fact, it’s not the one I’d already written. I deleted that one and chose to repeat myself a bit. Before an operation like my upcoming visit, the patient is sent a pamphlet of pre-op instructions ... four pages of directives covering everything from what to eat to how to bathe. These are all useful suggestions, I guess, and I intend to follow them. But in the past couple of days it’s become very plain to me that God has His own set of pre-op events that He’s putting me through.

Journal entries: Saturday night...

Think now before next Tuesday In today’s information age, why does an editor like me even bother to suggest how you might vote next Tuesday? After all, with a little effort, you have access to the same information I do. So, why risk the chance of offending you if I happen to think the opposite of your opinion?

Well, it’s not about a scorecard. The exercise isn’t a game where next Wednesday morning you tally the score and I either crow or eat crow on the outcome. No, the idea in writing this column is to get you to think BEFORE you cast your vote. That’s the goal regardless of whether you agree with what you read here.

To vote on your convictions means you must have some.

Please note the word “conviction” rather than merely opinion. Perby arryl haps you are offended by me presuming to tell you what to think. But that’s certainly not my heart in this matter. Instead, I offer the following in hopes of prodding you to think... and I certainly hope you do more homework than what can only be briefly summarized here.

One non-ballot surprise affects Lake Viking in elections to come. During the 99th General Assembly, HB1887 was enacted which states private homeowner associations shall not “prohibit or have the effect of prohibiting the display of political signs.” I read that as politicians in Jefferson City taking care of their own political interests regardless of what we as private citizens or, in this case, private homeowner associations, want.

This comes to mind when I consider Amendment 1, known as “Clean Missouri.” In my view, Amendment 1 is the most important decision on the Nov. 6 ballot.

th

YES on Amendment 1

The “Clean Missouri” proposal The Republican Party tried to remove this measure from the ballot, and it’s hard not to think for partisan reasons. They’ve painted this proposal as a Democrats’ project, when it seems to me this is simply a statewide vote, not ethics being imposed on us.

In fact, I would say whichever party is in the minority would likely champion some means of reform because whichever party is in the majority has little incentive for change.

Some Republican leaders understand this, such as State Sen. Bob Schaff (R-St. Joseph) and former Sen. Jack Danforth. Consider Danforth’s words: “Under the current system, lines are drawn in order to provide safe districts for one party or the other. True political contests do not exist when general election results are foregone conclusions.”

Missouri is hardly the model of ethical behavior when looking at Jefferson City from afar. Witness what transpired with former Gov. Eric Greitens, and I don’t mean about his sexual escapades, but rather his intimidating abuse of dark money.

This proposal brings “dark” independent candidate contributions into public light. It also brings legislative documents and committee proceedings and electronic communications under Missouri’s Sunshine Law and forbids political fund-raising on state property, including the state capitol. It eliminates most lobbyist gifts.

How long do you think we’ll have to wait in order

for the legislature to address these points?

We’re not just getting along leaving things as is.

The redistricting process is the main item “Clean Missouri” is known for and with good reason. The current process became so skewed last time that a judicial panel stepped in to redraw state House and Senate districts for only the second time in state history.

The argument that the demographer to direct redistricting after each census would be a political crony of the State Auditor is weak. Amendment 1 requires the names of those submitted to be approved by the individual legislative body being reapportioned. And if the politicians can’t agree, then the demographer will be picked by a lottery.

Opponents of Amendment 1 say il inson the proposal enables new districts to be drawn like “spokes of a wagon wheel” where an urban area could stretch hundreds of miles into a rural area and, thus, undercutting rural interests.

But what they don’t tell you is that Amendment 1 institutes a complicated mathematical formula as a guide to avoid exactly this circumstance. The amendment, in fact, retains the language already written into the Missouri Constitution, requiring districts to be “contiguous and compact.”

It seems to me that arguing how districts will be redrawn like “spokes of a wagon wheel” is not very likely. Some even say this exaggeration is absurd.

Politicians in Jefferson City and their lobbyist friends have no interest in cleaning up their cozy insider system of gifts, favors and designing their own legislative districts. This is one example when initiative petition is the necessary path to improvement. Amendment 1 is a rare opportunity to effect positive change. If you’re frustrated with bad examples involving ethics in politics at Jefferson City, a yes vote is voting against more of the same.

NO on Amendment 2

Medical marijuana with 4% tax

NO on Amendment 3

Medical marijuana with 15% tax

NO on Proposition C

Medical marijuana with 2% tax The sheer fact that there are three ballot issues dealing with medical marijuana makes a strong case that something should be allowed. But even though I do think there is a place for legal medical marijuana use, I’m unconvinced that any of these three proposals puts forward the right way.

Newspaper publishers of greater means endorse Amendment 2, such as the St. Joseph NewsPress, Kansas City Star, and Springfield NewsLeader among others. One reason is that the 4% sales tax would go to help fund the Missouri Veterans Commission.

It is said that Proposition C, with its tax at 2%, would not provide enough revenue to have a positive impact on drug treatment, education and public safety. And Proposition C would only change state law, not our state’s constitution.

Perhaps the worst of the three marijuana proposals is Amendment 3. This proposal would essentially establish a new branch of government with no oversight from the legislative or executive ont nued on a e

A black SUV barreling up my driveway, the scrunch of tires of gravel, and a loud knocking at my door ... my friend Becky. I first worked with her in 5th grade and have seen her musical and theatrical power blow the doors off more than one church or theatre. Stopping to see me on her way to catch a business flight to Vancouver ... our night ending with her singing to me, our eyes shut, God directing the show: God’s PreFlight-a Capella Op

Sunday morning...

My junior high buddy Jaxon on his way to Sunday School, passing my piano. I said,”Hey Jax! Pray for me!” His eyes light up. He says, “Sure!” and as the congregation wormed their way around us on the way to coffee, my young friend lifts me to up God: God’s Pre-Java Op. I roll my walker into church on Sunday morning, wanting badly to join our congregation one last time before the surgery but fearing how I’d be able to sit on the hard piano bench for an hour. I enter the sanctuary to find that someone has replaced the bench with an overstuffed office chair with added pillow for more height, plus a cup of steaming coffee on the piano: God’s Soft Pre-Op.

Sunday night...

A dear friend rose from her bed to travel down our street and give me a warm quilt when sleep refused to visit me and my couch: God’s Snuggle-Flop Op. A rough Sunday night. Woke up terrified at 3 a.m. and could not find the cause or shake it. Googled “morphine” and perhaps found the culprit. But ... shaking too badly to go back to sleep I hear a “Bing!” as my friend Todd has awakened at the same time to pray for me: Todd’s God Pre-Op.

Monday morning...

A call from another friend saying she’d soon be my house and I should prepare a list of everything I needed done: God’s Mop Op. Memorial Hospital calls Monday to pre-register me... the usual questions, then she asks the name of my doctor (shouldn’t she know?).

I say “Allan,” and she says, “Oh. The fixer. Anyone has a surgery problem he comes in and fixes it: God’s Nice-Job Op.

Monday evening...

The night before surgery my room is filled shoulder-to-lovingshoulder with faces from throughout my life history with Christ, some going back 30 years. On this final night before I head to Springfield we pray: God’s Pre-Op Mob.

7:30 a.m. Tuesday...

This morning I bathed with the proper antiseptic soap, I put on clean underwear as instructed, I made a list of all my current medications to give the nurse and I memorized my date of birth just in case anyone asked, but the real Pre-Op has been taking place all week.

And I read that the typical surgery involves one doctor in charge plus a team of about 12 attending. Twelve? Those of you who’ve been on my prayer team know that we passed that number long ago: The Ultimate Fixer is in charge.

We’ll be leaving for Memorial in a few hours. I would suspect that little brother, Keith, may take over my Caring Bridge for a bit. Keith always told me that after I was born Mom and Dad tried especially hard to get the next one right.

serve to protect our freedoms.

Participating in Segs4Vets gives our bank and our community the opportunity to thank veterans and their families for their sacrifices to keep our nation safe.”

MBA is conducting its tenth fund-raising campaign for Segs4Vets, the association’s designated charity. Since 2009, banks in Missouri, their employees and communities and MBA associate members have raised more than $549,000 to support Segs4Vets.

In 2017, MBA members and their communities made their largest donation to Segs4Vets — $160,592. This year’s Segs4Vets goal is $75,000.

“Every year, I tell bankers how much I am amazed at their generosity to support our veterans through Segs4Vets,” said Max Cook, MBA president and CEO. “I am proud of Farmers Bank of Northern Missouri’s commitment to support the men

branches. What’s more, the guy who personally funded the petition drive to get this proposal on the ballot (Brad Bradshaw) drafted the measure which some say puts himself in control over a board that would use the resulting tax funds.

If any one of these three initiatives gains voter approval, then marijuana’s use under Missouri law could put our state at odds with federal law. This could cause unnecessary legal problems.

Another legitimate concern is how legalizing medical marijuana may be the gateway to full legalization. Perhaps, you argue, a vote for one of these marijuana initiatives is a long way from full legalization, including recreational use. But then, do you remember how legalized gambling was only going to be on actual riverboats?

The Missouri State Medical Association (MSMA), along with multiple medical associations, oppose all three medical marijuana ballot questions. In 31 states where medical marijuana is legal, healthcare has not improved. To the contrary, numerous problems have developed in schools and education, law enforcement and judicial system.

Automobile and industrial accidents involving drivers under the influence of marijuana have increased demands on emergency rooms and hospitals due to toxicity and accidental ingestion, and diversion for non-medical uses. This should give everyone pause.

If Missouri voters want to approve the use of medical marijuana in restricted ways, then we may be better served to enact the law through the “meat grinder” of the legislative process. And it’s on us to require the leaders we elect to justify and explain what we’re doing ...or make them accountable for what they’re not doing.

and women who make sacrifices to support our freedoms.”

Launched in 2005, Segs4Vets is a grassroots program administered by volunteers. The cost to provide a Segway is nearly $10,000. The cost for an ALLY chair, a modified Segway chair, is $15,000.

For every $1 donated, 98 cents supports Segs4Vets’ mission — helping severely injured men and women returning from Iraq and Afghanistan to choose the path of independence and to remain productive members of society.

“When men and women serving our nation suffer serious injury and permanent disability, they must have resources and tools that help them live independently and contribute to society,” said Jerry Kerr, president and co-founder of Segs4Vets. “Segs4Vets empowers these men and women, giving them a new out-

look on life.”

The Missouri Bankers Association is a statewide trade and professional organization in Jefferson City that represents the interests of 260 banks and savings and loans in Missouri. Its members have more than 30,000 employees who work in more than 2,000 locations throughout the state. For more information, visit mobankers.com.

Segs4Vets is a nonprofit organization gifting Segways to combat injured veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, helping veterans choose the path of independence to once again become productive members of society and their families as they continue to serve our nation.

Designated one of the Best Independent charities in America, Segs4Vets has been awarded the Independent Charities Seal of Excellence. For more information, visit segs4vets.com.

Historically Yours...

Missouri’s first woman mayor

b y E liza b eth D avis

Nothing says history quite like “the first.” We have “the first President of the United States,” “the first Chief Justice of the US Supreme Court,” and “the first man on the moon.”

Phelps County also has a “first.” It is home to Mayme Hanrahan Ousley who, in 1921, became “the first woman mayor in Missouri.”

Mayme Hanrahan was born on Jan. 2, 1887, in Edgar Springs, but she grew up in Rolla, the county seat of Phelps County. In 1905, Hanrahan and Edward William Ousley were joined in Holy Matrimony. Following Ousley’s graduation from dental school in 1906, the couple moved to St. James, which was also in Phelps County. Dr. Ousley opened his dental practice in St. James, and there the couple spent the rest of their lives.

Many local civic organizations were graced with their presence.

Dr. Ousley played with the town’s semi-professional baseball team and Mayme joined them on the road. Always scolding them about their appearance, they started called her “Granny” Ousley, a nickname she never got rid of. The couple was also involved with the Republican Party.

Yes on Amendment 4

Bingo advertising If you worry that bingo sponsored by civic organizations and churches will contribute to the negative aspects of gambling, then vote no. But this proposal only involves bingo in a state which already legalizes gambling. There is no cost or savings for government entities if voters approve this proposal. It simply allows a civic or church group to promote their bingo games where proceeds are mostly spent on community projects.

YES on Proposition B

Minimum wage increase Why would anyone choose to live where you can work full-time and still wonder where your next meal’s going to come from? Everything else aside, this question alone makes a yes vote for Proposition B necessary. And the 85-cent per hour increase every year until it hits $12 an hour in 2023 makes the transition less painful.

Battles over what should be the minimum wage have been ongoing since 1938 when a 25-cent per hour rate was established. The debate will not abate whether voters approve or disapprove Proposition B next Tuesday. With voter approval, more arguments may merely be postponed and renewed until such time for the next round of debate.

There is little argument, however, that the gap between the rich and poor keeps getting bigger. The last federal tax cut may have boosted the economy but the trickle down never seems to reach the pockets of too many of those living in economically depressed regions like Northwest Missouri who depend on minimum wage.

Studies show that 60% of those making minimum wage are women. More than 250,000 Missouri children rely on the support of a minimum wage worker.

As a small business owner, I shudder when considering how raising the bottom rung on the payroll ladder impacts the total of all being paid. Mandating a 53% increase in the minimum wage will have a huge impact on small employers and farms. I’ve balked on this before.

I would prefer to allow the marketplace to determine who should be rewarded and compensated at which rates. But alas, the marketplace doesn’t readily curb appetites of greed, and we must encourage people with minimal skills to work rather than expect a handout.

Understand, though, a yes vote brings unanticipated consequences to even those you intend to benefit. It will be interesting, for instance, to see whether McDonald’s or other national chain franchises replace humans with more computers and customer order kiosks.

At some point we must recognize that investing in education and skills training is a better way rather than the periodic clash over minimum wage. Phasing in a minimum wage increase is a poor substitute but a needed “band-aid” for too many financially bleeding households.

Yes on Proposition D

Increase the motor fuel tax Nobody wants more tax. Every driver I know wants better roads and highways. The question: Will we get what we pay for?

Proposition D would increase the state’s gasoline tax in 2.5-cent increments during the next four years until it totals 10 cents. Approval of this initiative next Tuesday will allow Missouri to receive additional matching funding from the federal government.

Missouri’s gas tax now is 17 cents, ranking 49th among the union’s 50 states. Because of inflation, that tax is equivalent to 7 cents in 1996 dollars when the current tax rate was set.

If approved, the measure when fully implemented would generate at least $288 million annually for the state road fund and $123 million annually to local governments for road construction and maintenance. According to safermo.com (a proponent of the measure), Daviess County would receive $379,120 for distribution. Local towns would receive the following amounts for their streets: G al l atin . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $ Ja mesp ort . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Opponents argue that some tax money will go to help fund the Missouri State Highway Patrol ...as if that weren’t a legitimate use.

Proponents say the average driver will spend an additional $1.28 a month during the first year and $5.10 per month when the tax is fully phased into use. So, eventually, each driver here can expect to pay about $60 a year to get over $433,800 in new revenue for local use.

Nobody wants more tax. Every driver I know wants better roads and highways. And it’s those who drive and buy fuel who pay for the increase. It seems reasonable to vote yes on Proposition D.

MoDOT offers the following safety tips: •Always wear your seat belt.

It’s easy: Buckle Up Phone Down.

•Control your speed, stay alert and avoid distracted driving.

•Don’t swerve to avoid hitting a deer. Swerving can cause motorists to lose control and travel off the road or into oncoming traffic.

•Deer rarely travel alone.

Slow down and keep an eye out for more deer. If a deer crosses the road in front of you, there is a good chance another deer will be following it.

•Don’t follow too closely. Remember: the driver in front of you might have to stop suddenly to avoid hitting a deer.

At the end of the event, the hunters were allowed to take their field dressed birds home with them.

“I plan to host this event on an annual basis and look forward to providing more area youth the opportunity to learn about safe firearm handling, habitat management and pheasant hunting in the future,” said Agent McNeely. “Not only is this a great event that promotes safe firearm handling, it instills an appreciation and respect for Missouri’s wonderful resources.”

Food safety workshop at Jamesport set

By T im Baker, MU R egional H ortic ulturist For growers in the Jamesport area, a Food Safety Modernization Act workshop is scheduled for Thursday, Nov. 29. If you would like to attend this workshop, please call the Daviess County Extension Center at 660663-3232, to get your name on the list. There is a $20 registration cost, which includes materials and lunch. Attendance is limited to the first 50 people who register.

Produce Growers have been monitoring developments in food safety for many years. There have been a number of tragic episodes, where some type of produce became contaminated with a dangerous microorganism, which led to illness and even death in the people who consumed the product. Produce growers are especially concerned that they do not contribute to the problem by producing an unsafe product.

In an effort to prevent these tragic incidents, Congress passed the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA). FSMA is administered by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). One of the requirements of FSMA is that growers selling over $25,000 of produce covered under the act must attend a food safety workshop. There are other exemptions to the rule if farmers are mostly selling directly to consumers.

FSMA includes rules for produce growers intended to reduce the risk of contamination from E. coli, listeria, salmonella and other disease-causing microbes.

The rules set standards related to water quality, use of manure and compost, and worker health and hygiene.

The eight-hour workshop covers how to identify risks, best practices to reduce risks, key parts of the FSMA’s produce safety rule, and how to develop a farm food safety plan. Participants will be eligible to receive a Certificate of Course Attendance from the Association of Food and Drug Officials that verifies they have attended the course, which is a requirement to comply with the FSMA produce safety rule.

Project underway: Daviess & Clinton bridges over I-35 Plans are underway to replace the decks of five bridges over Interstate 35 in Clinton and Daviess Counties.

The Missouri Department of Transportation hosted two open house public meetings, one at Cameron and one at Pattonsburg, to discuss the deck replacements of Clinton County U.S. Route 69 and Daviess County Routes KK, DD, C and B bridges.

The project will be let in January 2019 allowing contractors to submit competitive bids for the project. The Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission will review all bids and award the contract in February 2019. Contractor may begin work March 19, 2019.

The contractor completion date is Nov. 1, 2019, though the contractor may finish the job before that date if factors allow.

Designers and engineers from the Missouri Department of Transportation were on hand during the public meetings to discuss the construction plans for the bridges, detour routes and gather public input.

Nov. 6: Blood Pressure/Glucose checks 11-12 Medicare Open enrollment has begun. Come in to the Active Aging Resource Center to pick a comparison worksheet and make an appointment. We will be at the Jamesport City Hall from 9-12 on Nov. 20 and the Pattonsburg Multi-Purpose Center from 9-12 on Nov. 29 to do comparisons. Bring your medications and your Medicare card.

Patriotic Quilt Raffle will be drawn on Veterans Day. Quilt was made and donated by Pat Yost. Please stop by the center to see and purchase tickets.

Proceeds will be used to provide Meals on Wheels in Daviess County.

Menus N ov. 5 - 9 Monday: tuna and noodles, cole slaw, cornbread, lima beans, mixed fruit; Tuesday: chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes, cheesy cabbage, sliced tomatoes; Wednesday: barbecued meat, green bean casserole, scalloped corn, peaches; Thursday: baked chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy, vegetable blend, hot roll, apple cobbler; Friday: meatloaf, scalloped potatoes, California blend, spiced pear.

Two Gallatin women to serve 18-month missions with LDS church, one to Brazil, and one to Denver Emily Andersen and Cari Dalton of Gallatin, are preparing to embark on 18-month missions for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Ms. Andersen is waiting on her visa before she heads to the Brazil Sao Paulo South Mission. Ms. Dalton will

C arrie D al ton

leave for the Colorado Denver South Mission in mid-November. Both young women will join more than 67,000 missionaries world-wide that have answered a similar call.

“I want to share the gospel of Jesus Christ with others because it makes me happy,” says Ms. Andersen, who started learning to speak Portuguese after she received her mission call. “I want to share that joy with everyone.”

Ms. Andersen graduated from Gallatin High School in May. She was in choir, color guard and NHS. She is the daughter of Michael and Laura Andersen. They have lived in Gallatin for eight years.

All missionaries for The

Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints are assigned an area to serve.

Ms. Andersen has a brother and brother-in-law that served missions for the church in Brazil, though she was surprised to learn that she is going to be serving in Brazil.

“Brazil had never crossed my mind,” says Ms. Andersen about when she opened her mission call letter. “It was a happy surprise. Once I read it, I knew that it was the right place. I’ve talked to my brother, brother-in-law, and others about Brazil and they said the people are really nice and friendly.”

While Ms. Andersen’s and Ms. Dalton’s travel and living ac-

Tips for kids on Halloween from the Gallatin Police Chief Here are some tips from Gallatin Police Chief Mark Richards, just for you kids, to help keep you safe on Halloween night!

1 Never, ever go into a stranger’s house or even ring their door for treats unless your parents are with you and say that it’s okay. There are some people in life that aren’t very nice to kids and you have to be careful. Always make sure that your mom or dad or another trusted adult is within sight when you go out trick-or-treating.

2 Be careful when you cross a street. Make sure to look in both directions and make sure that there are no cars coming. If you have a little brother or sister with you, take their hand and help them get across the street, too.

3 If you are an older kid or young teen, and going out with

friends, make sure that your parents know where you are going and who you are going with. This may seem like a pain but they are your parents and they love you.

They just want you to be safe.

4 If you can drive and are taking a bunch of friends to a party, make sure that you have enough gas to get there. You don’t want to run out on a dark street, all alone, like a bad horror movie!

5 If your parents give you a curfew, be home when they say.

It builds trust between you and them and they are doing it for your own safety. If you are going to be late, call them and let them know.

6 Vandalism is never cool!

Throwing eggs at cars and houses is not cool. Someone has to clean it up and it could be you, if you get caught. You can also be

arrested and punished as a juvenile. Think about how you would feel if someone did that to your house and how bad it would make you feel.

7 Hurting animals is never acceptable behavior! Some people use Halloween as an excuse to hurt cats and that is just wrong!

Not only is it illegal in most places to hurt or torture animals and punishable by law, you should never hurt a helpless living thing.

The Gallatin Police Department will once again be handing out GLOW STICKS to Gallatin Elementary students in an effort to help them to be seen after dark.

Police Officers will also be handing out candy from the patrol vehicles so be sure to say hi before they run out. Have fun on Halloween but keep it safe.

commodations will be arranged by others, they and their families pay their own expenses.

Ms. Dalton is assigned to serve in the southern portion of Denver and surrounding region, which she has learned is a very diverse part of the city.

Ms. Dalton is the daughter of Jason and Michelle Dalton. She did not graduate from Gallatin but attended school here from sixth grade through her junior year. She played basketball for Gallatin for at least two years.

Her family moved away her junior year and moved back last year. They have lived in Gallatin for a total of about seven-and-ahalf years.

“I’m excited to serve and so thankful for the opportunity,” said Ms. Dalton, who recently completed two years of college.

“I’ve heard there are a lot of different cultures there. I know I will get more comfortable with teaching and public speaking. I also look forward to serving and doing good.”

Ms. Dalton did not always plan on serving a mission. She said she used to think of it as a great experience, where one

could travel and learn a language. With friends continuing their education, her sister having a baby soon and another sister planning to leave on a mission before she returns, she acknowledges there are plenty of reasons to stay home.

“But it’s not about me,” she said. “It’s about serving God and others. Now I really want to share the gospel of Jesus Christ with others and share the joy I have felt.”

OATS Transit ridership shows growth

Calf poached The Missouri Department of Conservation seeks information in the case of an elk calf that was shot. Conservation agents report the calf was born in the Log Yard area of Shannon County July 13 and was fitted with a VFH radio collar July 14 with the identification number 1829. The calf still had its spots when it was found shot next to a road just weeks later. Anyone with information that could help with this investigation can call the Operation Game Thief (OGT) hotline at 1-800-392-1111. You may remain anonymous.

OATS Transit ridership numbers remain strong after 47 years in business; service continues to grow in popularity thanks to the agency’s commitment to provide safe, caring and reliable transportation. But, that’s not a huge surprise considering they are one of the largest rural transportation providers in the nation.

The company reports providing 1.55 million trips in fiscal year 2018- 80,000 more trips than last year. Of the service provided, 45% was for work transportation,

17% for medical, 8% senior center trips, 8% for essential shopping, and the remainder for business errands, education and recreation. OATS Transit buses cover 15.6 million miles annually, so it’s no surprise that beyond driver wages, the largest expense is fuel, vehicle maintenance and insurance. In September, the company was recognized by the Federal Transit Administration with the Rural Transit Excellence Award for highest percentage increase in ridership.

Top-seeded Panthers meet #4 Raiders Pattonsburg’s top-seeded Panthers will host the #4 ranked North Shelby Raiders Friday night for a home District 3 semifinal game to determine who will meet the winner of the Southwest (#2) vs. King City (#3) contest, also being played on Friday.

Pattonsburg, 8-1, which also includes players from Gilman City and North Harrison, has had a couple of weeks to prepare for Friday night after taking down Albany, 68-20, in the district opener. North Shelby, 6-3, defeated #5 Stewartsville, 74-0, last week, to earn a semifinal berth.

North Shelby has suffered losses this season to Norborne (with Hardin), Stanberry and Milford/ Cissna Park out of Milford, Illinois. Pattonsburg’s only loss came on the road at Stanberry.

The winner of District 3 will likely see either Stanberry or Worth County in the state quarterfinal round on Saturday, Nov. 17, 1 p.m.

Run game, takeaways key 59-30 Bulldog victory over Tigers Coming into Friday’s first round district game against Princeton, Gallatin Head Coach Patrick Treece was concerned about the possible effectiveness of the Tiger passing game. After all, the Tigers aired the ball 67 times one week earlier in a narrow loss to South Harrison.

As it turned out, Treece and the Bulldogs had nothing to fear.

Gallatin defenders intercepted six passes and a punishing, downhill Bulldog running game overwhelmed their visitors to the tune of a 59-30 decision. The Bulldogs rushed for a seasonhigh 445 yards and their top four runners, Graydee Rains (206), Aidan Adkison (144), Ross Critten (50) and Haden Bradford (45) combined to average over 8 yards per carry.

Princeton quarterback Austin Kelly threw 39 times, completing 22 passes for 291 yards and a single TD. Cam Jones rushed for 108 yards on 15 carries.

Gallatin’s dominance wasn’t immediately evident. Critten scored early on a 45-yard reverse but Princeton answered with a quarterback keeper and two-point conversion set up by a 32-yard pass completion. The Tigers went up, 14-7, when they caught the Bulldogs napping on a quarterback draw that accounted for a 35-yard score.

Gallatin bounced back with three quick scores, two of which were set up by interceptions by Rains and Bradford. Adkison scored twice and Rains garnered his first TD to give the Bulldogs a 28-14 cushion early in the second period. Adkison’s second TD was set up by a screen pass and long run by Critten.

Both teams continued to pound

Adkison’s third TD of the night effectively put the game out of reach early in the third quarter, especially after an unusual sequence of events that followed.

Adkison intercepted a Tiger pass in the end zone, but Princeton recovered a fumble on the next offensive play. Not to be outdone, Drayton Harris picked off a pass in the end zone on the very next play.

The Tigers couldn’t afford those quick turnovers that gave the Bulldogs opportunities to milk the clock. Princeton scored

Rains reached the end zone for the third time early in the fourth quarter and following an interception by Adkison, Adrian Hernandez added a 39-yard field goal to his perfect night of 8-for-8 extra point kicks.

N ex t up # 3 Marc eline With last week’s victory, the Bulldogs earned a trip to Marceline, where they will take on the 9-1 and #3 state ranked Tigers for the right to play either Milan or Hamilton in the Class 1, District 8 championship game.

The Tigers enter the game on a 6-game winning streak after suffering a 14-9 loss to #2 ranked Fayette in week four. Fayette’s lone loss of the season was to #5 Westran, which also lost to Marceline, 14-12.

The Tigers bring a balanced offense into play, led by 6’1”, 170-pound senior quarterback Chase Billups, who has thrown for 1,298 yards and 18 touchdowns. Five receivers have at least 150 yards in catches. All five have scored at least three TDs. Leading the ground attack for the Tigers is Cullen Bruner, a 5’10”, 150-pound junior. He has rushed for 739 yards on 132 car-

Gallatin will counter with a predominantly running game, led by senior fullback Graydee Rains, who has rushed for 995 yards and 16 touchdowns. Senior all-purpose back Aidan Adkison has run for 752 yards and nine scores. Senior halfback Haden Bradford accounts for 625 yards and nine TDs.

Four awarded American FFA Degree

Ten members of the Gallatin FFA Chapter attended the 90th National FFA Convention and Career Expo in Indianapolis, IN, from Oct. 24-27. The week kicked off with members attending the Garth Brooks concert Wednesday night.

Thursday was spent at the opening session and participating in the career show and expo event. Members were able to visit college booths, welding

institutes, and experience FFA membership from across the U.S. by attending state booths.

Thursday evening members attended the hypnotist show.

On Friday, members were on hand to see Addison Burns win third place in the nation in the AgriScience Fair competition results. Members also attended a farm tour at Smith Farms and toured the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Jacob Wilson plays in national band

Two sing in FFA choir Gallatin FFA members Bethany Bailey and Macie McNeely performed at the national convention. Each young singer logged in nearly 40 hours of practice time before the convention kicked off and both girls performed a total of 10 times during the convention sessions and rodeo.

For both young ladies the experience was a once in a lifetime event. The audience and the choir in general were just bigger; everything was on a much larger scale. These are comments both girls shared about the event. The highlight was performing for the president on the Saturday and watching the Garth Brooks concert.

Jacob Wilson, trumpet player and Gallatin FFA member, had a successful National FFA Convention and Expo.

For the second year Jacob was selected to play in the National FFA Band. Jacob arrived in Indianapolis early to begin practices for the 90th Convention and Career Show. From Sunday to Tuesday band members rehearsed close to 40 hours to prep for the convention sessions.

During the convention Oct. 24-27 Jacob and other band members performed a total of 10 times.

The highlight of the convention for Jacob was performing during the American Degree session and the 9th General Session which President Trump attended. Jacob says that being a member of the band is a great opportunity for any FFA member because it allows you to meet new people from all over the United States and to perform with some very talented musicians.

On Saturday, members attended the American Degree session as four Gallatin members received their American FFA Degree pins. American Degree recipients were Kaitlyn Bird, Jarod Rains, Declan Schweizer, and Dalton Swalley.

Gallatin members who attended the convention were Tayton Terry, Justice Fry, Haden Jumps, Owen Schweizer, Caragan Baker, Carli Beck, Jenna Rains, Maddison Michael, Gloria Hernandez, and Jessica Hart.

25 all Agriscience Fair participants and their parents (approximately 1,200 people) attended a luncheon to announce the final three participants in each division.

The National FFA Agriscience Fair is a competitive event in which FFA members test their knowledge and skills in scientific research. Participants must select a problem to be studied, research former projects and develop a hypothesis to test.

Students then develop an experimental design and set the

project into motion. Results and conclusions are drawn from the data collected and presented in a scientific paper.

Agriscience fair participants also create a poster board to show their project visually and make an oral presentation to a panel of judges. To be selected as a national finalist students must first win at the state level.

State winners then present their scientific papers to a panel of national judges and twelve finalists are selected to compete at the national level.

Missouri suffers tough home loss, to Florida next b y Benj amin H errold For over three hours on Saturday afternoon at Faurot Field, Missouri’s defense was bendbut-don’t-break. But on the last play of the game, in shocking and controversial fashion, the Tiger defense broke, and Kentucky won 15-14.

Of course, Missouri’s offense was a key culprit in this meltdown, failing to gain a first down the entire second half. A beautiful October Saturday turning into a disaster, fitting for the game before Halloween.

Hosting No. 12 Kentucky (7-1, 5-1 in SEC), a golden opportunity to notch a significant win, Missouri (4-4, 0-4 in SEC) played well early, leading 14-3 at the half. But in the second half, Missouri’s formerly high-powered offense went three-and-out with a punt on all eight drives. That meant the Tiger defense was under almost constant pressure.

Missouri dug in again and again, keeping Kentucky’s fairly one-dimensional offense from scoring. But with 5:18 left, Kentucky returned a punt for a touchdown. Game on.

Kentucky failed on their twopoint try, making it 14-9, but the game had changed. On Missouri’s last drive, looking to kill clock and burn Kentucky’s timeouts, the Tigers ran twice.

But on 3rd-and-2, when a run would’ve made Kentucky use its last timeout and might have gotten the two yards to ice it, Missouri for some reason threw the ball, with Drew Lock’s pass falling incomplete, stopping the clock.

After all that, Kentucky still had to go 81 yards in 1:24 when the offense hadn’t scored a touchdown all day. Missouri’s defensive line, strong all day, even notched two sacks on that final drive. But still Kentucky drove down the field, with quar-

terback Terry Wilson completing pass after pass.

The Wildcats had time for one last play from the Missouri 10yard line. That play was an incomplete pass to the end zone, but with a lot of contact on the play the refs called pass interference on Missouri. It was a shaky call, one that could’ve gone the other way. But it didn’t. And Missouri had done plenty to let it get to this point. Kentucky had one last untimed down at the Missouri 2 to try to win it.

On that final play, Wilson hit C.J. Conrad for a touchdown pass, on another play that possibly could’ve been called offensive pass interference. But it wasn’t. The Wildcat sideline

rushed out onto the field in jubilation before a stunned and largely silent Missouri crowd.

After the tough loss, Missouri travels to No. 13 Florida on Saturday (3 p.m. on SEC Network).

The Swamp can be a tough place to play, and the Gators (6-2, 4-2 in SEC) are showing good signs in coach Dan Mullen’s first season.

Florida reached the top 10 before losing to rival Georgia last week. The offense is still a work in progress, but the Gator defense ranks 20th in the nation in points allowed at 19.0.

Missouri is the underdog here, but it’s a game they could hang in and possibly win, if they can shake off Saturday’s head-shaking loss.

Bulldogs lend a hand to Gallatin community Tom Crouse and Gage Wright dish up a meal for patrons at the Action Aging Center in Gallatin last Friday. The Bulldog football team completed a service day Friday to give back to the community that has so strongly supported them this season.

Members of the team volunteered at the Active Aging Center, delivering meals to home and helping serve meals at the center. Team members also paid a visit to Lighthouse Learning Center to lead activities with the daycare members.

“The team would like to extend a big thank you to all community members and local businesses that have helped make this season successful one,” said Head Coach Patrick Treece.

by Katie Martin, agricultural education/FFA instructor. They traveled by charter bus with the DeKalb, North Andrew, and Union Star FFA Chapters and made it to Indianapolis, IN, after a seven-hour drive.

On Wednesday, members toured the Hunters Honey Bee Farm, where they learned what products can be made and used from the hive, such as wax, lotions, lip balm, and other assorted food items. They got to bottle their own honey to take home as a souvenir and sample various flavored honey sticks.

The next tour that FFA members experienced was Ozark Fisheries where they learned about the process of growing and selling goldfish and koi. It was very interesting how they packaged and shipped the fish across the nation. That evening members attended the Cinch

World’s Toughest Rodeo at the Indiana State Fairgrounds.

On Thursday they attended the Opening Session of the 91st National Convention, where the national band and chorus performed.

Kyle Scheele was the guest speaker and spoke of making the most of opportunities. At the conclusion of the session, members spent several hours exploring the Career Show and FFA Mega Store, and visiting

with college representatives from across the nation. Later on they watched the hypnotist, Dr. Jim Wand, perform a very entertaining show.

N ov. 8 , 1 9 7 8 Ninety-three steps, twice a week for the past four years.

That’s six stories high, according to Buster Gordon. And he should know. It’s been his job to trudge those 93 steps to keep the four faces of the courthouse clock in operation since Bill and Karen Walker quit the chore four years ago.

Junior high football players who were a nucleus of a championship squad were Mike Bradley, leader in receptions; Wade Parker, co-leader in tackles, along with Stacy Baker. Baker also led the team in rushing and leading the team in passing was quarterback Troy Hacker.

Frank Wheeler’s 23-point production led the Jameson Huskies to a 91-50 win over Coffey in Friday evening’s opening game of the HDC Tournament. John Holdsworth added 17 points for Jameson.

The addition of the “roving player” concept is the most significant rule change. Previously, teams were comprised of six players, three forwards and three guards. The forwards were required to stay in the teams’ front court at all times and the guards in their teams’ back court.

Jerry Taylor, son of Mrs. Jean

Taylor of Gallatin, has been decorated with two Bronze Star medals, one with “B” device for valor, and the Army Commendation Medal. Jerry also won the Purple Heart for wounds in action. In lieu of the second Bronze Star, he received a Presidential Citation.

N ov. 6 , 1 9 5 8 The Bowers farm of approximately 290 acres on highway 13 between Hamilton and Gallatin sold at auction for $46,000.

One-third of the estate goes to the Lick Fork Baptist Church and the remaining 2/3 to Lick Fork Cemetery Association.

Saturday was just another working day for Gladys Selby but it also marked 30 years of service to the Gallatin Motor Company.

During that time she has never

lost a day to illness.

With heavy heart, I begin this column. Our country has just witnessed the worst of humanity. A citizen crashed a synagogue and killed 11 people who gathered to pray and worship. Among the 11 dead is a 97-year-old lady.

The killer's motive was hate. Today's news reports the killer hated Jews. He wanted all Jews dead. Surely, this man was not born with this hatred. Hate is learned. There is a line in the musical “South Pacific” that says, “You have got to be taught to hate.”

Hate destroys the mind and soul. It grows like a silent cancer -- “I don't like him/her, I don't want to be around him/her, the world would be better off without him/her; I hate him/her; I hate all their kind.” One might understand hatred if it is personal and has cause. But hate becomes an attitude, and we can hate people we don't know -- people we have never even seen. ro ade Paris Thank God, this murderous attack on the Tree of Life Synagogue is the extreme; but hate takes its toll on us all. We are presently living in a world of hate.

Television is filled with political ads and news. Many of those ads are aimed at making us hate the opponent. It makes it easy for us to say, “I hate them,” even when we don't know them.

It is common for us to be the most comfortable with the people we know, the people we assume are like us. However, we grow when we are challenged by people of differing persuasions. Sometimes I will not agree with persons whose ideas and lifestyles are different from mine. I do not have to adopt their views. In fact, I may openly disagree with them; but I don't have to hate them. I don't have to regard them as enemies.

I entered the words, “Biblical references to hate” on the internet, which produced 76 references. However, most of those references were about love, Jesus' antidote to hate. When the Bible referred to hate, the reference always was to hating “things,” not people.

Of the 76 references listed on the internet, I found the best is this one, “Love your enemies... do good to them that hate you... ” (Matthew 5:44)

Historic depot at Bethany in peril ern Railway Depot in Bethany was the last active depot in Harrison County. The first train arrived at the depot on Oct. 28, 1880.

The building represents a typical depot design, with a low pitched hipped roof with wide overhanging eaves, and inside a large passenger waiting area, baggage and freight area, and an office and ticket window.

The depot was the center of activity prior to World War I as the station employed a station agent, a freight agent and a telegrapher. Four daily passenger and freight trains passed through Bethany.

The trains were met by reporters, taxis and drays, and lunches were brought for rail-

A 2016 analysis from North Carolina State University, meanwhile, revealed that Part D shrank beneficiaries’ likelihood of developing high blood pressure, which can lead to heart attacks and strokes. Part D has curbed senior mortality by 2.2% each year since its implementation, according to a study in the Journal of Health Economics.

Given Part D’s ample plan choices, low premiums, and lifesaving results, it’s no wonder that 85% of seniors are satisfied with their coverage.

Choosing the right health plan is crucial — seniors shouldn’t wait for the foliage to change before signing up this open enrollment season.

Go-fund-me for Rachel Owings A go-fund-me campaign has been set up for Rachel Owings to help her pay bills and provide for her family during the time she is off work and recovering from surgery (gofundme.com/rachelowings-recovery.)

Rachel is a single mother of four children — the youngest son is still in grade school and her only daughter is a senior in high school. The two older boys have already graduated. She cleans houses and businesses for a living.

Rachel had been feeling increasingly unwell for a couple weeks, and was in an emergency room twice. She was diagnosed with gastrointestinal stromal tumor, which is benign but very aggressive. After experiencing

complications, she had a second surgery on Oct. 22 to ensure that the root of the tumor was fully removed. The doctors have told her she will need to be off work completely for a minimum of four weeks to recover.

Rachel is thankful that the source of her health condition has finally been found and treated, but is obviously very concerned about how she is going to provide for her family.

Donations will help with her and her children’s immediate needs to pay for food, gas, and household expenses.

Please give what you can — any amount will help and be greatly appreciated.

Prayers would also be greatly appreciated.

Nestled in all the flannels, football, and finding all the fall festivities is Medicare’s open enrollment season, which kicked off Oct. 15. Seniors will have until Dec. 7 to select their Medicare plans for the coming year.

Seniors have a cornucopia of coverage options to choose from.

In particular, they should be thankful for the Medicare Part D prescription drug program, which enables tens of millions of seniors to afford their medications.

Traditional Medicare plans cover physician and hospital visits, among other basic health services. But for many seniors — particularly those battling chronic conditions — basic Medicare coverage isn’t enough.

That’s why many beneficiaries purchase supplemental drug coverage through Medicare Part D stand-alone plans, or Medicare Advantage plans that include Part D benefits.

Part D is Medicare’s privately administered prescription drug program. Since 2006, it has helped seniors fill billions of prescriptions. Currently, three in four Medicare beneficiaries — or more than 40 million people — are enrolled in a Part D plan.

Part D plans aren’t one-sizefits-all. In some states, seniors have as many as 30 different plans to choose from, each of which features different premiums, co-pays, and covered drugs.

However, all plans must meet certain standards. For instance, every plan must cover at least two drugs in six vital categories: immunosuppressants, antidepressants, antipsychotics, anticonvulsants, antiretrovirals, and antineoplastics. This regulation ensures that people with severe chronic diseases have a choice of medications.

Plans are quite affordable. In 2019, the average Part D monthly premium will cost just over $32 — which is even cheaper than the previous year.

These low premiums are no accident. Part D forces private insurers to compete against one another for seniors’ business. Indeed, insurers negotiate directly with drug companies — and the government is prohibited from negotiating or setting prices. The end result is quality coverage at an affordable price.

Part D is a literal lifesaver. Seniors who enroll in Part D coverage experience an 8% reduction in hospitalizations, according to a recent study by Johns Hopkins University and University of Illi-

way passengers. Scores of riders came to the station on their way to the annual Northwest Missouri State Fair. Circus animals as well as solders were picked up at the station at various points in its history.

Today the depot is threatened due to neglect. Boards on the inside and outside decks are in good condition, but the floors are sagging and in need of shoring.

The building’s exterior needs to be repaired and painted. Interior walls and ceilings are damaged, and termite infestation was recently discovered.

It is hoped that listing on Missouri’s Place in Peril will help bring awareness of the plight of the depot to citizens interested in its preservation.

The City of Bethany plans to earmark a small portion of their 2019 budget for repairs at the depot. But the city’s funds will not be enough for a full renovation.

Other historic places in peril as announced by the Missouri

receipts

The Missouri Alliance for Historic Preservation (Missouri Preservation) has announced its list of historic Places in Peril which includes the train depot in Bethany.

Missouri Preservation is the state’s premier statewide historic preservation advocacy non-profit organization. It has publicized a list of endangered historic places for about 15 years.

Properties on the list range from a train depot in Bethany, to an entire neighborhood in St. Louis. Properties might be endangered for a host of reasons including inappropriate development, neglect, lack of funds, improper city planning, and absenteeism.
