The antlerless portion of firearms deer season runs Dec. 1-3 and the alternative methods portion will run Dec. 23- Jan. 2, 2018. Missouri offers some of the best deer hunting in the country and deer hunting is an important part of many Missourians’ lives and family traditions. Deer hunting is also an important economic driver in Missouri and gives a $1 billion annual boost to the state and local economies.

he died, there was not much Kate could say or do to console either one of her children. Her daughter was four at the time and her son was 12.

Kelly Vanatta loved teaching and helping kids.

“Due to his age, my son could better understand, but my daughter really had a hard time with it. I tried to explain it to her in a manner she would grasp.” When Kate explained it a certain way — describing Kelly’s heart as a person that God

Community-wide Worship Service 7 p.m. Sunday at First Baptist Gallatin Church

You are invited to a community-wide Thanksgiving worship service at 7 p.m. this Sunday, Nov. 19, at First Baptist Gallatin. The church is located west of Sandman Hotel at 511 West Richardson Street. Presenting the message will be the Rev. Robert Nelson of Lake Viking Church. A community choir, directed by Linda Arnold, will participate in the worship service. This service is presented by the Gallatin Ministerial Alliance. The Thanksgiving service is one of two community-wide services scheduled annually where an offering will be collected for local benevolence use as determined by local ministers.

‘My Favorite Place to Be’ keeps memory of Kelly alive Kate Vanatta has written a children’s book called My Favorite Place to Be. The inspiration for her book is Kelly Vanatta, a 1993 Gallatin R-5 High School graduate who passed away from non-Hodgkin lymphoma in the summer of 2006 at the age of 31. Kate had been trying to write the book since Kelly passed, but always struggled with how to start. “I knew the ending, so one day, two summers ago, I just decided it needed to be done,” Kate says. “I wrote it backwards, from the last page to the first, and it fell into place that way.” It took her only two days to finish it. Kelly was very close to her family’s heart. He was her husband Clint’s brother, a favorite uncle of her children, and a first grade teacher at Grandview Elementary in Higginsville. Kelly’s was not the first death for the family — Kate’s mother had passed a year before — but Kelly’s passing was the first to cause real trauma. “We were broken-hearted, of course, when my mother died, but in a child’s mind, old people die,” says Kate. “But Kelly was young, vibrant, and full of life. They had a difficult time understanding why it was happening to him.” The illness wore Kelly down and took a toll on his usually upbeat personality. When

Serving Daviess County Since 1864 — Our Best To You Each Week!

Deer season opens with over 94,000 taken Deer hunters in Daviess County harvested a total of 763 deer during the opening weekend of the November portion of the fall firearms deer season Nov. 11 and 12. According to Daviess County Conservation Agent Alan Bradford, hunters took 479 antlered bucks; 59 button bucks; and 225 does. Last year, Daviess County hunters checked 831 total deer during the opening weekend, Nov. 12-13, 2016. Statewide, Missouri harvested 94,977 deer during the open-

spoke to — her daughter just got it. “When I explained that her Uncle Kelly’s heart got tired of beating, she never asked another question. At the time I thought it could be helpful to other kids.” She also saw the book as a testimony to Kelly. “Kids were his life,” Kate says. “He loved teaching and helping kids. The book is our way to make sure he continues to do that.” Her son is now 24 and her daughter is 16. Their concept of death has changed as they have matured. But they still came away with new insights from the book. “Different people from different walks of life and different ages have read it, and everybody comes out with something,” Kate says. “It’s reassuring to children and to adults, it’s just a reminder.” The book may be purchased online at Amazon and Barnes and Noble, or locally at Elbert’s Department Store in Gallatin. “I never wanted my kids to be afraid of death, or think it was the ultimate end,” Kate says. “Kelly had a strong faith and was active in his community church. The book is a Christian book. It is about a journey and Heaven is the Favorite Place to Be.”

Christmas Around the Square

On Nov. 12 at approximately 10:25 a.m., Gallatin Fire Protection District was dispatched to 408 W. Van Buren, owned by Mrs. Rachael Hardin, for a building fire. Engine 101 responded with six personnel. All occupants had exited the home. Upon arrival, a two-story wood framed dwelling was found with smoke showing from the second floor. A 1-3/4 inch hose line was deployed. The interior fire crew made entry and found the first floor was clear, but thick blackened smoke had filled the second floor. Fire was found in the southwest bedroom on the second floor. The fire was quickly extinguished and smoke was then (continued on page 13)

He never ceases to amaze by Freida Marie Crump Editor’s note: Columnist Ken Bradbury returns to writing following successful treatment and surgery caused by cancer. F or the past several weeks, we chose to reprint previous columns penned by Mr. Bradbury. I n typical fashion as he writes under the pseudonym F reida Maria Crump, Bradbury says: “ Thanks for your prayers and well-wishing. Actually, your well-wishing didn’t do a damned bit of good, but the prayers were awesome.”

A little bit about bitcoin There was a time when not one person in Gallatin knew anything about the internet. Or anyone anywhere else for that matter. Remember? So, don’t smirk when I mention something called bitcoin. It’s a digital currency, already 10 years old, that most of us don’t know much about. But it’s entirely plausible that bitcoin (or something like it) will become familiar to almost everyone who goes online in the future. Until recently I wasn’t much interested. Obviously, I’m not an economist nor do I rise much above the technological level of “keyboard jockey.” But when two young men within my extended family began investing thousands of dollars buying computers to create or “mine” bitcoin, I decided it’s time to take notice. In layman’s terms, a bitcoin is a digital token — like in a game — only it’s no game. Bitcoin can be cashed for dollars but it is different than the dollar ...or Euro, yen, peso, ruble, pound, shekel or any traditional currency. The bitcoin network makes it different. The bitcoin network is like the internet. It’s a decentralized network of computers around the world (including some servers in a couple of homes in our family, now hooked into the bitcoin network). This is where all these bitcoin live — in the network, kind of like an electric power grid for digital information. People throughout the world are focusing on bitcoin even though a thorough understanding is elusive. Why? Because everyone understands this: A year ago one bitcoin was worth less than $1,000. Today, even after its market value recently took a hit, one bitcoin is worth about $6,623. Some estimate that if you were to buy all of the bitcoin out

in the world right now at today’s market value, you would pay something like $120 billion. Just for comparison’s sake, that’s larger than the value of Goldman Sachs or Morgan Stanley, larger than the value of PayPal! That value is stored in something like 17 million bitcoins distributed in computers around the world. In the Information Age, bitcoin or something like it (there are competitors) is exchange currency. Bitcoin is a new way of tracking information and, thus, has value. It’s a new way to move money around the globe.

O the E itor s S ike

Traditional currencies — dollars, Euros, etc. — take a long time to make some pretty basic bank transfers. The banks involved require all sorts of fees every step along the way. Bitcoin cuts out these “middle men” and gets payments made as fast as your internet access allows. Think about this. Let’s say you want Netflix but you don’t even have a credit card. That’s reality in places like Africa or wherever people get locked out of the online economy. Bitcoin offers an alternative; transactions usually take 10 minutes or less. Nathaniel Popper, a technology reporter for The New York Times, understands digital currency. A couple of years ago he wrote a book about bitcoin called “Digital Gold.” Popper says, at its most basic level, the bitcoin net-

work links up computers trying to process all the transactions coming into the bitcoin network as quickly as possible. The faster you do it, the more efficiently you do it, the better chance you have of winning bitcoin. There’s an element of luck in it. It’s somewhat like a lottery, but essentially the person with the most computing power has the best chance of winning — big time! In fact, there is concern that the surge in bitcoin could burst just like so many other economic boom-busts. But when? Microsoft is accepting bitcoin now, just like U.S. dollars. Bitcoin has become a vehicle for investors. Big banks are starting to copy it. Today’s world includes “server farms” usually located anywhere electricity is cheap to run computers fast, but literally anywhere — in outer - inner Mongolia, in Tibet, in Iceland. The cost of electricity probably makes Gallatin a poor choice to mine for bitcoin. The guys in my family are setting up their server farms in their homes in Kansas City, so many that the heat off these computers will help keep the furnace from running so often. In China there are literally towns built around bitcoin. Entire buildings located next to hydroelectric dams and coal plants are filled with computer servers doing nothing but mining bitcoin. Mr. Popper says the Chinese people operating this whole new economy really have no idea of what’s going on or how the system works. They are custodians, just keeping the computers in operation. Anyone can join, which was an original premise of bitcoin. The more computers that join, the more secure the network is and the harder it is to attack. If you haven’t heard of bitcoin, perhaps it’s due to its lurid past. Bitcoin first became widely known as black market currency to buy drugs and make ransom payments. It was abused as a tool to enable new types of crime. But that belies the original intent. About two decades ago a small group of computer scientists and activists worried about privacy as the existing monetary systems became digital. They saw how everything seemed to be going to credit cards, where every transaction could be tracked and monitored by the government or big business. So, they set about creating anonymous digital cash. Bitcoin was announced in Oc(continued on page 3)

Greetings from Poosey. Let me stress this was not my idea. It was Herb’s. No matter what sort of spin he puts on it at the liar’s table of the local café, he was the one who had the notion. Herb just came off some rather major surgery and he’s now back on his feet, groaning less, walking well, and whining because as his health improves he gets less attention from the world and sympathy from me. As we met with our surgeon before leaving the hospital, he told us that if Herb wanted to get back to form quickly, then exercise would be a must, and there’s no better exercise than walking. My husband came home a new man, resolved to turn his scrawny frame into something that would put fear into Arnold Schwarzenegger. Herb’s new resolutions last about as long as a bare-footed cockroach on a hot skillet, but there’s nothing to do but go along and let his brainstorms peter out on their own. The oil wasn’t dry on his first canvas when he gave up on his painting lessons, and he never got beyond his oui oui when he tried his hand at learning French. But when a man gets a certain age it’s easier to go along with him than fight him, so last Monday morning we met our friends Richard and Christine down at the local basketball court, a large area they open up as a Walking for Wellness program. Richard and Christine have been making this a ritual for years, but they promised to slow it down and walk at a speed that the Crumps could endure. Richard’s a big guy who takes one step to my three. His wife is just a wisp of a thing who just eats every third Sunday. Herb and I were outmatched but we foolishly stepped into the gym that morning to be met by the sight of perhaps a dozen walkers of various sizes and dispositions, determinedly circling the basketball court with a look in their eyes that frankly gave me a bit of a chill. These people meant business. I quickly made a few observations about these daily walkers: 1) White shoes means you’re serious. You stumble in there with a pair of everyday black shoes and they’ll know you’re either a newbie or the guy who’s come to check the faucets. 2) Talking is a sign of an amateur. Serious walkers come to walk and not talk, and even a brief ‘Hello!” might be answered with a “get serious” stare. 3) Real walkers swing their arms. I’m sure this has some profound cardiovascular meaning, but it gives the entire exhibition the look of ice skaters going to war. 4) Slower traffic must keep to the right. This is not an option, it’s a warning. The real veterans of the game refer to this as CIPO ...Corvettes to the inside, Packards on outside lane. Herb and I had managed to break nearly all these conventions on our first lap. In the first place, Herb can’t walk a straight line. Either there’s something wrong with his equilibrium or he gets distracted. In any case he’s dangerous to pass while Walking for Wellness since he might make a sudden swerve sending the passing walker headfirst into the bleachers. He broke the no-talking rule as soon as we hit the track and he insists on walking on the inside lane. He’s not stubborn, he just forgets a lot. So, there we were — Christine, Richard, Herb, and I — traipsing around the ball court like we had good sense, completely smashing the no-talk rule and enjoying our new journey toward health and happiness. Then they blew the whistle. No one had told me there were whistles involved. All I could think of was the lifeguard down at the swimming pool warning kids to stop pushing each other into the water. It seems as though every 10 minutes a little lady behind a desk blows a whistle, signaling the walkers to change directions. Christine and Richard knew immediately what the whistle meant and abruptly did a 180 without missing a stride. After a couple of confused steps I realized what was going on, turned tail and joined them. But Herb...God love him, poor Herb can’t hear nuclear explosions, much less walking whistles and he was so caught up in his own dreams of being the oldest member of the USA Olympic Walking Squad that he didn’t notice he was going it alone...upstream, against the tide, leaving an angry swath of irritated walkers in his wake. How many people do you have to run into before you realize you’re going the wrong direction? How many female octogenarians in grey sweat pants and pink wrist bands do you have to knock aside before you figure out that you might be the problem? I just stood there in horror. This should be a familiar stance for me after all these years of marriage, but the man never ceases to top himself, in shape or out of it. You ever ‘Round Poosey, stop by. We may not answer the door but you’ll enjoy the trip.

A ‘Clean Missouri’ is a free Missouri by S tate S en. R ob S c h aaf

Liberty. This is the core of what I, as a conservative, believe in and strive to defend. Our liberty has been hard-won, paid for with the blood of our forebears, and it can so easily slip away. We must defend it, continually holding the line against those who would undermine it. Today, we face a crisis of liberty, with many of our liberties being eroded — our freedom of speech, our freedom to maintain our privacy, our freedom from excessive government intervention in our lives. But what should worry us most is erosion of the freedom which underpins all others: the freedom of self-government. For if we lose the freedom to govern ourselves — if the political system itself becomes corrupted and responds less and less to the will of the people — then all our other liberties will be vulnerable, and the power of the state will be abused. What I have seen, in 15 years as a member of the General Assembly, is increasing corruption in our state government, and increasing detachment from the will of the people. More and more, lobbyists and special interests get their way. They buy results with gifts and donations, but, ultimately, it is Missourians who pay the price, with healthcare costs spiraling out of control, taxpayer dollars wasted on corporate welfare, and powerful interests from out-of-state increasingly determining how Missourians are governed. The legislature could pass reforms that would fix this, but they won’t. Legislators have had many opportunities, but

most lawmakers don’t want to change the political game when they are winning it. So it’s up to the citizens to set things right, and there now is an historic opportunity to do so. It’s called Clean Missouri. Clean Missouri is a ballot initiative supported by reformers from across the political spectrum. We are currently gathering signatures to place it on the ballot in November 2018. If passed, this constitutional amendment would solve many of the problems corrupting our state government. For example, Clean Missouri would eliminate almost all lobbyist gifts in the General Assembly, banning any single gift worth more than $5. Members of the General Assembly, together with their staff and families, have already accepted over $1 million this year in gifts from lobbyists. Most lawmakers deny that these gifts affect them — the free meals, the free drinks, the free vacations. But there’s no such thing as a free lunch, and that’s why lobbyists give the gifts: they know they’ll get something in return. Also, Clean Missouri would require legislators and their staff to wait two years before becoming lobbyists after they leave the Capitol. That way, the people making our laws would no longer be looking to lobbyists as potential employers. To understand why this is important, consider this quote from the infamous ex-lobbyist Jack Abramoff: “When we would become friendly with an office and they were important to us, and the chief of staff was a competent person, I would say or my staff would say to him or her at some point, ‘You

Letters to the editor...

Dear Editor, I think something should be said upon the recent death of Carl Hullinger. Carl will be missed by many in Daviess County. Carl served the town of Winston admirably at one time as its mayor. He brought the town of Altamont and Winston together to form a sewage district with the assistance of the Green Hills Regional Planning District. It was the first of its kind in the Green Hills area. I met with Carl in my capacity as presiding commissioner about county issues that affected areas in or near Winston. Carl also served on the Democratic Central Committee representing his township. He was nominated to Gov. Carnahan and selected by him to operate the license bureau. He did that very well for 12 years and accumulated many awards for his performance in that office. (When Carl went for his license office training he stayed with then Lt. Gov. Roger Wilson, his wife’s relative.) Prior to the license office, Carl worked in the remodeling and cabinet making business. Many of us remember when he remodeled the restrooms in the courthouse! If you were ever in them prior to 1992, you know what I mean!

know, when you’re done working on the Hill, we’d very much like you to consider coming to work for us.’ Now the moment I said that to them or any of our staff said that to ’em, that was it. We owned them. And what does that mean? Every request from our office, every request of our clients, everything that we want, they’re gonna do. And not only that, they’re gonna think of things we can’t think of to do.” Clean Missouri would furthermore ensure that legislative district maps are drawn fairly after each census, rather than being drawn in such a way as to protect incumbents or to unjustly favor one party over the other. In other words, it would prohibit gerrymandering — what President Ronald Reagan called a “national scandal” and an “anti-democratic and un-American practice.” To do so, it would enforce an objective standard endorsed by numerous esteemed conservatives, among them Sens. John Danforth and Bob Dole and Govs. Arnold Schwarzenegger and John Kasich. Clean Missouri contains other reforms as well. It would lower the contribution limits for legislative candidates. It would apply the Missouri Sunshine Law to legislative records and legislative meetings. And it would prohibit political fundraising on state property — for example, in the Missouri Capitol, where lawmakers should be focused on making laws, not asking lobbyists for money. Clean Missouri is an expertly-drafted and well-vetted proposal. Among those who have vetted Clean Missouri are experts at the Campaign Legal Center, a

DAVIESS COUNTY: Let Those You Elect Know What You're Thinking... Sheriff Ben Becerra

nonpartisan organization run by Trevor Potter, former chairman of the Federal Election Commission. He was appointed to that post by President George H.W. Bush and has been described by the American Bar Association Journal as “hands-down one of the top lawyers in the country on the delicate intersection of politics, law and money.” On the subject of Clean Missouri and his organization’s support for the measure, he has written, “These common sense solutions would help ensure Missouri’s government reflects the will of its citizens.” As Reagan once said in a speech commemorating the anniversary of D-Day: “Democracy is worth dying for, because it’s the most deeply honorable form of government ever devised by man.” Many have died for our democracy, and the least we can do to honor that is to preserve the democracy we have inherited. Right now, in Missouri, that means making sure Clean Missouri passes. We need to collect signatures to get it on the ballot. We need to defend against the misinformation campaign that will likely be waged against it. And we need to get out the vote next fall. During this final year I have in the General Assembly, I will be doing all I can to support Clean Missouri, and I hope you will consider joining me.

National Rural Health Day Nov. 16 Rural communities across the country will be celebrating National Rural Health Day on Thursday, Nov. 16 as part of National Rural Health Week. It’s important to recognize the essential role of rural health providers in the well-being of our neighbors and our society. When thinking about health care in rural Missouri, consider these facts. 97% of Missouri’s land mass is considered rural. 37% of the population resides in rural areas. 81 of Missouri’s 114 counties are defined as rural. 62 of Missouri’s 164 hospitals are located in rural counties. 23 of Missouri’s rural counties that contain a hospital have experienced a trend of declining population. In 2016, Missouri’s rural hospitals provided nearly 22,000 high-paying jobs with $1.6 billion in salary and benefits for rural Missourians.

University of Missouri Extension offers a variety of programs each winter for livestock producers, row crop farmers, and horticultural crop growers. These meetings are designed to help farmers become better producers, and deal with problems that undoubtedly will arise each year. Beef producers will be interested in the annual Three-State Beef Conference, which will be held in Albany. It will be taking place on Wednesday, Jan. 17, starting at 5:30 p.m. For more information, call Shawn Tim Baker Deering at 660-726-5610. For those interested in crops, there is the Certified Crop Advisor’s meeting in St. Joseph, to be held on Jan. 16-17. This will give an opportunity to earn 17 CEU’s over the two days. For more information, call Randa Doty at 660-582-8101. Horticulture producers will be interested in the annual Great Plains Growers Conference held in St. Joseph. I will outline our plans for that meeting in my next two columns. The conference will be held Jan. 11-13. For more information, call Tom Fowler at 816-279-1691 or Tim Baker at 660663-3232. No matter what type of farming you practice, you may be interested in our annual Ag Updates. These meetings provide a good opportunity to obtain or renew your private applicators license. If you intend to purchase and apply restricted-use

agricultural chemicals to your land, you will need this license. These meetings are held in most of the counties in our northwest extension region. Many of these meetings include agricultural specialists to update you on timely issues of concern, in addition to getting your pesticide license. This may include agronomy specialists, livestock specialists, ag engineering specialists, agriculture business specialists, and horticulture specialists. The meetings are typically held in January or February. Please contact your local extension center for more information. Another meeting that will appeal to landowners who may be looking for ideas for a farming enterprise is our annual S.A.L.E. Conference. S.A.L.E. stands for Small Acreage & Land Entrepreneurs. Our fifth annual meeting will be held in St. Joseph on March 10. For more information, call Randa Doty, 660-582-8101. There are many more opportunities to attend extension meetings. The best way to keep up to date on all extension meetings is on our calendar at our regional web site. The Northwest Extension Region web page can be found at: http://extension. missouri.edu/nwregion/. Before I close, I would like to mention our Master Gardener classes. These are held every spring in the Northwest Extension Region. They will run in the evenings for 12 sessions, starting in March. If you are interested in this in-depth training on all aspects of horticulture, keep the classes in mind, and watch my future columns for details.

INTRODUCING the 2017-18 GALLATIN

Introducing the 2017-2018 Gallatin Bulldog Basketball Team, front row , from left: Allen D utro, J ohnny Stout, H aden Bradford, N athan Baker and C alv in G rady; second row : Kacen J ones, Blaine Bailey, Landon C orw in, Logan Burns, Aidan Adkison and Tristen G ibson; back row : C oach Brent Burke, J ett Simmons, J acob Wilson, Riley H olmes, Thomas King, D ylan Burns, Patrick M cN ickle, G abe C ole, C olin Beck and C oach Ryan Beenken.

Introducing the 2017-2018 Gallatin Lady Bulldog Basketball Team, front row , from left: H ayley M ichael, M egan C ox , J anee Filbeck, C ourtney Shubert and M aelea C oulson; second row : Bethany Bailey ( manager) , Aubrey Feiden, Briar Roll, Shaunessey E aton, C ora Stout and Kaitlin Trimble ( manager) ; third row : C arli Beck, C aragan Baker, Libby E ndicott, M addi M ichael and C laire H emry; back row : C oach C had Sullenger, Addison Burns, Kelsey M ax w ell, Karley Salmon, M adalyn Shubert, G lenn Smit ( manager) and C oach C ourtney Ray.

Gallatin R-5 Principal Brent Burke is making the transition back to the hardwood floor, and it didn’t take him long to get back into the swing of things after a one year absence. “It has taken some review on my part leading up to the season,” Coach Burke said. “Now that practice has begun and the season is near, the flow in practice has become old habit,” he adds. “I am looking forward to having a great year with this hard-working group of kids.” Gallatin’s boys were to open the season at East Buchanan but the blue and gold Bulldogs are prepping for the Class 1 state football semifinals. That game will likely be rescheduled. Burke’s acceptance of the Bulldog coaching job, which he previously held from the fall of 2012 to the spring of 2016, was made easier by the return of four full and part time starters from a season ago. Lost to graduation were key players Morgan Corwin and Chad Walker, but the Bulldogs return six with plenty of varsity experience, including seniors Jett Simmons, Colin Beck, Gabe Cole, Patrick McNickle, Logan Burns, and sophomore Dylan Burns. Simmons returns as one of the top area guards and is coming off a season in which he averaged 18.1 points per game, knocked down 66 three-point shots and earned first-team conference and district honors. Cole was a 39% shooter from the threepoint arc and averaged 8.2 points per game as a starter. Beck, 4.6 points per game, led the team in rebounds with 119. The Bulldogs will be at a size disadvantage most nights in the paint, but the Bulldogs will look to McNickle and Dylan Burns to provide scoring and rebounding in the post. Guard Logan Burns averaged 10 minutes of playing time per game last season. Adding depth to the Bulldog lineup are senior Blaine Bailey, junior Riley Holmes and sopho-

eed, quickness to improve past record mores Aidan Adkison and Tristen Gibson. Mostly playing at the junior varsity level will be juniors Thomas King and Jacob Wilson, sophomores Nathan Baker, Haden Bradford, Landon Corwin and Kacen Jones, and freshmen Allen Dutro, Calvin Grady and Johnny Stout. “We are starting to learn new roles and mesh into a working unit in practice, and I’m still trying to find the right combination,” Coach Burke said last week. “The key will be for us to be able to carry what we are working on in practice to the game floor.” G I T O ut l ook Gallatin, which finished 3-4 in the Grand River Conference East and 11-14 overall last season, should expect one of the top seeds in this year’s Gallatin Invitational when seeds are assigned tomorrow (Thursday). Gallatin, and the rest of the boys’ field, will be seeking to end Winston’s two-year championship reign. Gallatin last won a GIT title in 2014. Winston has beaten Trenton two years in a row for the boys’ title. The Redbirds look to keep a rich basketball tradition alive

this season, without three starters lost to graduation. Winston lost only one game each of the last two seasons with now-departed Craig Lewis, Saxton Pliley and Austin Rhoades playing big roles in that success. Juniors Jacob Lewis and Cy Uthe will lead the way for this year’s crop of Redbirds. Lewis was honored with a spot on both the All-HDC first team and AllDistrict 13 team. Uthe was an honorable mention HDC honoree. Trenton looks for new leadership on the court after losing Connor Cotton, Spencer Harris and Corbyn Guile to graduation. Juniors Lathan Croy and Dylan Harris return to the starting lineup. Braymer clipped Gallatin last year for third place in the GIT. The Bobcats return five of their top seven players from last season’s 21-7 squad, but will sorely miss all-GRC unanimous choice pick Austin Hall and fellow conference first-teamer Jordan Miller. Seven seniors will figure heavily into the BHS rotation, along with junior Keaton O’Dell. Senior Jason Gates returns after missing last season with an injury.

Large senior group leads GHS girls to season openers at E. Buchanan, Pattonsburg

Gallatin R-5 varsity girls’ basketball teams tip off the season this Friday on the road at East Buchanan and follow up next Tuesday at Pattonsburg. The Lady Bulldogs will again sport good overall size and depth and will be able to give opponents several different looks thanks to a wealth of returning experience. Chad Sullenger will once again lead the Lady Bulldogs, assisted by Courtney Ray. Gallatin’s girls are coming off a 20-win season and second place finish (6-1) in the Grand River Conference Eastern Division. Twelve return from last season’s 15-player roster, including eight seniors and three players who earned post season honors. Putting a tag of “returning starter” on a short list of players would be impossible after a rash of injuries last season practically produced a new starting lineup every night. “Our depth was huge for us last year,” says Lady Bulldog Head Coach Chad Sullenger. “We had several injuries at times and it presented the opportunity for numerous players to step in to new roles and get the job done,” he added. Senior returnees make up the bulk of the Lady Bulldog roster and include Hayley Michael, Cora Stout, Megan Cox, Courtney Shubert, Janee Filbeck, Maelea Coulson and Briar Roll. Michael received all-GRC honorable mention and all-district second team recognition a year ago. Stout was named honorable mention in the GRC. Junior Karley Salmon was a first team performer on both the GRC’s honor squad and on the select all-district team. Salmon led the Lady Bulldogs in scoring with a 10.4 average and she made 42% of her shots from the 3-point arc. Stout and

Michael each scored at a 7.3 points-per-game clip last season. Stout led Gallatin in rebounds with 133. Michael led the way in assists, with 65, and steals, with 60. Senior forward Shaunessey Eaton, junior forward Kelsey Maxwell and sophomore guard Madalyn Shubert are also back from last season’s squad. Senior guard Aubrey Feiden joins the Lady Bulldogs for the first time since her freshman year. Other additions to last season’s roster are junior Addison Burns and freshmen Claire Hemry, Maddi Michael, Carli Beck, Libby Endicott and Caragan Baker. “This is a close group of young ladies and the chemistry in practice has been good,” Coach Sullenger stated. “We’re excited and hungry to play and have success,” he added. “It’s a different feeling that I’m getting from the players this year. There are some goals and accomplishments that we felt we let slip away last year and they’ve shown their eagerness to get back after those goals.” Gallatin takes on a Pattonsburg team next Tuesday that struggled last season. Coach Tim Harding lost four players from that squad and gained one freshman. “We are looking to build a foundation that we can use for improvement,” Coach Harding says. “We know that this year will be a struggle with only six girls, but these girls struggled to win last year when they had nine,” he added. “With that said, they have a positive attitude and are determined to get better.” Returning starters for the Lady Panthers are senior Britanie Middaugh and sophomores Brittani Adams and Grace Warner. Junior team members are

G I T O ut l ook This year’s Gallatin Invitational Tournament will be seeded tomorrow (Thursday) but it will come as a surprise if Trenton and Gallatin aren’t the top two teams in the girls’ bracket. After all, they have met in four of the last five GIT finals. “We have a strong team returning from a 27-5 campaign that included a conference championship, multiple tournament championships and a final four run,” said THS Head Coach Brian Upton. “We look to have another strong season with balanced scoring and solid defense and rebounding,” he adds. The black and gold Lady Bulldogs will miss all-state player Whitney Richmond, but three other return with post season

honors from a year ago. Returning starters include junior Ainsley Tolson (All-GRC East first team), junior Salem Croy (All-GRC East second team) and junior Mykah Hurley (AllGRC East second team). Ashten Whitaker also figures in the mix as the lone senior on this year’s squad. Trenton is looking for its third straight GIT championship. Gallatin will seek a fifth-straight trip to the championship game and first title since 2008. Winston returns four starters from last season, including senior Ashley Noel and juniors Sophie Pliley, Brooke Heldenbrand and Shelby Mason. Maysville returns all but two from last season’s 12-woman roster. Braymer and Polo also returns four starters from last season. Gilman City and HardinCentral bring back three starters from a year ago.

Jett Simmons signs golf pact with Missouri Western

Gallatin R-5 senior Jett Simmons is following in the footsteps of Gallatin native and GHS grad Brice Garnett, who has found success on the Nationwide, Web. com and PGA golf tours. Simmons signed a letter of intent to attend Missouri Western State University, where he will join the Griffon golf team next season. Garnett, who played golf for the Griffons from 2003 to 2006, is recognized as the most decorated golfer to ever play at

Western. Simmons is a three-time Missouri Class 1 medalist, finishing as high as fourth in 2016 and 2017. He is a two-time district medalist and three-time Grand River Conference champion. Present at Monday’s signing ceremony were Jett’s parents, flanking him, Kelly and Dennis Simmons, and on back row his grandparents, Gary and Patty Elbert.

Bearcats head to Ohio for playoffs The NCAA Division II defending national champion Northwest Missouri State University Bearcats will travel to Ashland, OH, to face the Ashland Eagles in the first round of the football playoffs. The game will be played at 11 a.m. (CST) this Saturday, Nov. 18. The game will be broadcasted on the Bearcat Radio Network. The winner of Saturday’s game will face the winner of Indianapolis vs. Harding on Nov. 25. There are 28 teams qualifying for the championship playoffs with seven teams playing in each regional. The top rated teams nationally are Fort Hayes State (KS), Indiana (PA), Central Washington, and West Alabama. Northwest has now made 14 straight NCAA playoff appearances and 22 all time. The Bearcats are 47-15 all time in the NCAA playoffs, winning national titles in 1998, 1999, 2009, 2013, 2015 and 2016. Coach Rich Wright is in his first season at the helm of the Bearcat football program after joining the coaching staff in 2004. Northwest built a 38-game winning streak and came within two victories of setting a new consecutive wins record this season but committed six turnovers in a 20-10 loss to arch rival Pittsburg State. Their other loss came against Fort Hayes State the following week which determined the conference championship. This year the Bearcats placed 17 student athletes on the AllMIAA football team. Senior cornerback Marcus Jones from Gladstone, junior defensive end Austen Eskew from Lawson, and junior linebacker Ben Althoff from Palmyra were all named to the conference’s first team. Jones was a unanimous selection. Northwest (9-2) is seeded 6th in Super Region Three, finishing second in the MIAA to the undefeated Fort Hayes State Ti-

gers during the regular season. Seeded behind the Tigers are #2 Indianapolis, #3 Ashland, #4 Ferris State, #6 Ouachita Baptist, #6 Northwest, and #7 Harding (AR). The Ashland Eagles (10-1) are champions of the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC). Their only loss was in the season opener, 2623, against powerhouse Indiana (PA). The 2017 Ashland senior class became the winningest in program history. This senior class has won 37 games in the last three seasons. This season the Eagles average 35.4 points per game while holding opponents to 14.6 points per game. Two of Ashland University’s senior starters are GLIAC Player-of-the-Year quarterback Travis Tarnowski and GLIAC Offensive Lineman of the Year center Dominic Giunta. Tarnowski is the program’s all-time leader in touchdown passes with 80, and his 8,277 career passing yards are second in school history. He is 27-5 as a starter for the Eagles. Giunta is a two-year starter who earned All-GLIAC honorable mention laurels in 2016. Senior kicker Aidan Simenc became the program’s all-time scoring leader. Eagles Head Coach Lee Owens was named GLIAC Coach of the Year. Ten Eagles were named to the AllGLIAC first team this season. Ashland University, founded in 1878, has an erollment of 6,000

students. Prior to this year, Ashland football finished 9th in the final NCAA Division II national poll in 2012 and finished 15th in the nation in 2008. Ashland notched its first Division II football victory in 1978. A trivia note: The oldest player ever to appear in an NCAA game was an Ashland Eagle. Ed Barreto ‘61 appeared at the age of 60 in the game against St. Francis, (Ill.) in 1997. Ashland shut out St. Francis with a score of 28-0, and Barretto’s No. 32 game-day jersey is displayed in the College Football Hall of Fame in Atlanta, GA (Barreto was a student in the master’s program with football eligibility time left from his earlier college career).

Third annual Women in Ag “Feeding the World” event hosts 250 participants, with 13 local vendors The DeKalb County Farm Service Agency (FSA), Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) and MU Extension hosted the third annual Women in Ag “Nourishing the Home – Feeding the World” event at the June Conley Building in Maysville on Sept. 21, 2017. This year’s event was a huge success, with a sellout crowd of over 250 participants. The WIA Committee stresses that “Our mission is to promote pride and interest in agriculture and our goal is to provide information and sources of support in a fun and social setting which will enrich the personal and professional lives of women involved in the many facets of agriculture.” The 2017 event included 13 local vendors including Grindstone Valley Winery, Tommy Tools, Albany Young Farm Wives, “Fly Away” by Kelsey Ridge, Moveit-Fitness, The Old Cookstove/ Watkins, Photography CW, B’s and Me Custom Designs, 31 Bags, Pampered Chef, Pharm Dog, Law Farms, and Sweiger Welding & Fabrication.

Demonstration speaker was Sarah Wood from University of Missouri Extension. She presented a canning and food preservation workshop. This was followed by Craig Hayes, of Earl May Nursery & Gardening, with gardening tricks, tips and strategies. This year’s inspirational speaker, Susie Oberdahlhoff, used her experience as a farm wife, mother, preacher’s kid, and professional experience in agriculture, to bring her unique sense of humor to regular everyday experiences. Hors d’oeurvres with desserts and drinks were catered by “Sisters Act.” To top the evening off, door prizes from the vendors and local businesses were presented as was a video/photo tribute to our local women in agriculture. This Women in Ag Event would not be possible without the generous support of those that sponsored. This year’s event was so graciously sponsored by the following: PLATINUM: MFA Inc.; King City Lumber; BTC Bank; Farm

Credit Services; Bartlett Grain Company. GOLD: CR Seeds and Services and Dupont Pioneer in Winston; MFA Grand River Group; KK Subway LLC; Kent Feeds Greg Robinson; Golden Harvest- Ford Seeds LLC in Faucett.

City reviews electric losses, water plant moving along, holiday lights contest gives credit to winners Gallatin City Administrator Tony Stonecypher and Public Works Director Mark Morey discussed their meeting with a representative from Missouri Public Utilities Association during the meeting of the Gallatin Board of Aldermen held Nov. 13. The representative reviewed electric losses over the past several years. The annual average loss has improved since 2012 and this improvement is mainly due to replacement of meters and tree trimming. One recommendation from the representative was to update the “2400 system.” The “2400 system” is the only section of town which was not upgraded in the 1990s when electric system improvements were being made. It is located in the north central

portion of town. The number 2400 represents the voltage running through these lines. The rest of the town runs at 13,200 volts. During the 2018 Budget Discussion, the board agreed to reduce electric line and material supplies and increase the tree trimming and capital improvements. Mr. Morey requested to spend the capital improvement money on electric LED street lights and new electric replacement meters. The board also agreed to increase the sewer capital improvement line to purchase covers for the sewer plant clarifiers. In other business, the board heard that construction on the new water plant is still moving smoothly. The walls for the pump house are almost complete. The

water plant contractor plans to be done laying concrete in the next few weeks. During public comment, Henry Cox expressed concerned with a few dogs running loose around his neighborhood. Police Chief Mark Richards submitted a report on activity for Nov. 13, 2017. There was 1 medical emergency; 1 drug/narcotic activity; 3 stray animals; 1domestic disturbance; 1 theft; 1 house fire; 1 business alarm; 1 juvenile issue; 3 vehicle lockouts; and 1 dog in the pound. The annual pound inspection was held last week. Only a few minor repairs are needed. Overall it was a good inspection. Mr. Morey reported that crews are busy getting equipment and buildings ready for winter.

Only one item is left to be picked up from the Purple Wave Auction. Mr. Morey would like the board to consider selling the old sickle bar tractor/mower. Crews have repaired a few water leaks and power outages. The Transaction Report for October 2017 was approved. Bills in the amount of $145,087.71 were approved for payment. The board reviewed the October Financial Review. The board accepted Ross Construction’s Pay App #9 in the amount of $290,411.89. Discussion was held on the Summit Software quote for ACH bank pay and ACH payroll deposits. The board requested additional information. Discussion

will resume next meeting. Administrator Stonecypher led a discussion on the use of radios for natural disasters/terrorist attacks. Stonecypher attended a meeting with county officials for the purchase of aerial photography to be used for mapping utility services. The state has opened bids for a license bureau office to be located in Daviess County. Mayor Ballew led a discussion on the City Wide Holiday Lighting Contest. The board agreed to award a $75 electric credit to the first-place commercial participant and first-place residential participant. The above is taken from the unapproved minutes of the regular meeting for the City Of Gallatin held on Nov. 13 at City Hall.

Missouri Over There: Public help sought in mapping Missouri’s forgotten “Great War” memorials The Springfield-Greene County Library District and the Missouri Humanities Council are working to rediscover World War I monuments and preserve community history, but they need the help of Missouri residents across the state. Shortly after the conclusion of the Great W ar, Missourians actively worked to commemorate and honor the service and sacrifice of the state’s veterans. These commemorative projects took many different forms. In 1919, the Missouri Legislature offered up to $1,000 in matching funds to each county for a monument, bronze plaque or memorial hall in honor of the war’s veterans. Across Missouri, plaques, carved stone memorials and bronzed doughboy memorials were erected. As time went on, and a second war with Germany unfolded, our attention to these memorials, and the war itself, faded from the forefront of our cultural memory. For the war’s centennial, the Springfield-Greene County Library District and the Missouri Humanities Council have partnered to help our state rediscover these memorials through an interactive online map. The project is part of the larger Over There: Missouri & the Great War website (missourioverthere. org). An unknown number of World War I memorials are scattered across our state. SpringfieldGreene County Library District staff worked to create a list of memorials and their locations. Yet they knew this list was incomplete as several known memorials, such as the one on the Pettis County Courthouse lawn in Sedalia, were not included in the found sources. Many of the memorials that were erected in the postwar years were placed on county courthouse lawns. Library staff utilized Google Map’s satellite and street views to search courthouse lawns for possible memorials. Library staff then set out to document these memorials, traveling across Missouri to photograph the memorials they encountered. The Springfield-Greene County Library District worked with Demi Creative, a Springfield-based Web design team, to develop the interactive map with

these locations and photographs. Library staff also added historical photographs relevant to the memorials, such as a photo of the Bates County memorial dedication found at the Bates County Historical Society in Butler. The interactive map can be viewed online at missourioverthere.org/ explore/monuments. The work on this project is far from over. The SpringfieldGreene County Library District and the Missouri Humanities Council need your help. Not every Missouri World War I memorial has been located and only some have been photographed. We ask you to go into your community, search for your county or local memorials to World War I veterans, photograph the memorials, and submit them to the project. Digital photographs and descriptive information can be sent to missourioverthere@ gmail.com. Follow the Missouri Over There project on Facebook for the most recent memorial identifications and shared photographs. Their goal is to locate and document every World War I memorial in our state. 1 9 1 7 This story is reprinted from the Gallatin Democrat, Jan 24, 1917.

Are you prepared for snow, ice, cold? Winter is now around the corner and to emphasize the importance of planning ahead, Nov. 15, 2017, has been designated as Winter Weather Awareness Day by the National Weather Service. NWS, the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services, the Missouri State Highway Patrol, the Missouri Division of Fire Safety, the State Emergency Management Agency and Missouri’s local emergency managers encourage all Missourians to be prepared. The National Weather Service has prepared a webpage with safety tips and information about

winter weather and its impact: http://www.weather.gov/lsx/winterday. The page includes explanations of weather terms like “wind-chill index” as well as information on generator safety and avoiding health and safety risks that come with frigid temperatures, snow and ice. Check on road conditions in advance on the Missouri Department of Transportation’s Traveler Info Map: http://traveler. modot.org/map/. If your vehicle breaks down or slides off the road, stay with your vehicle and call or wait for help.

Thank You On behalf of all the veterans in the Gallatin and surrounding communities: We would like to thank Daughters of the American Revolution, Gallatin School, the middle school band and high school choir, under the direction of Mrs. Obico and Ms. Warren, and also Amy Holder for recognizing Veterans Day with an assembly on Friday, Nov. 10. U.S. veterans are very grateful and appreciative for all your great efforts for a job well done. For veterans to have the interaction with the school kids is very uplifting to us. Thank you again, MSG. Leonard Ray Clevenger, (Ret.)

North Daviess honors veterans: program and shoebox gifts The North Daviess School staff and students honored local veterans on Nov. 10 with a dinner and short program. The program included the elementary students singing three patriotic songs led by Mrs. Wilson, an introduction of the eight veterans attending, and a presentation of Operation Shoebox where supplies were gathered, sorted and will be sent to our troops. “I would like to thank Sally

Gray for her outstanding enthusiasm and donation collection around the area,” said Mrs. Lowrey. “Thank you all donors including the North Daviess staff, Prater family, Dakota Boe, the Gallatin Men’s Club, Elbert’s, Harrah’s Casino, Foster’s Shoes, and so many others.” Students filled 61 Poosey Conservation Area “grocery bags” with care package supplies, like instant coffee, personal

hygiene items, prepaid phone cards, stationery, jerky, etc., to be boxed and mailed this week. “We hope to make Operation Shoebox a yearly project,” Mrs. Lowrey added.

Missouri beats Tennessee, plays for bowl eligibility B y B enj a mi n H errol d Missouri continued its surge Saturday night, beating Tennessee 50-17 for its fourth straight win. The Volunteers hung around for a while, aided by a pick-six touchdown return, and the game was tied 17-17 in the second quarter, but Missouri (5-5, 2-4 in SEC) dominated from that point on. The Tigers ran for 433 yards, their most in an SEC game since joining the conference in 2012. Tennessee (4-6, 0-6 in SEC) is not having a good season, and fired coach Butch Jones after the game. Missouri’s win streak has come against some bad teams. But in the weak SEC East, just staying upright and competitive with an employed head coach is a path to success. But Missouri is certainly playing better

now than it was in September. The Tigers have pushed to the brink of bowl eligibility, needing just one more win. Saturday was senior night at Faurot Field, the last home game of the season. College football’s season moves fast. It seems like just last week the weather was hot and Missouri couldn’t seem to stop Missouri State. Among the seniors recognized before the game was Ish Witter, a running back. Witter has often been overshadowed by other backs in his time at Missouri, but he’s stuck around and stayed available. Witter has seen plenty of action this year with Damarea Crockett injured. On Saturday night, his last game in Columbia, he ran for 216 yards on 24 carries, an average of nine yards per carry. He also ran for a

touchdown. As a team, Missouri piled up 659 yards of offense. On defense, the Tigers faced a Tennessee offense that had to start a freshman at quarterback due to injuries. The Vols turned the ball over four times. These were two teams that entered the game at 4-5, but are heading in opposite directions. Next Saturday Missouri heads to Nashville to take on Vanderbilt (6:30 p.m. on SEC Network). The Commodores (4-6, 0-6 in SEC) are another beatable team for the Tigers. They started 3-0 but have lost six of their last seven games. Surprisingly, Vanderbilt’s defense hasn’t been very good. Coach Derek Mason has shown pretty good defensive acumen, but this year the ‘Dores are giving up

30.7 points per game, 91st in the country. In six SEC games Vanderbilt has allowed 59, 38, 45, 57, 34 and 44 points. Match that against Missouri’s offense and the Tigers could hang up a lot of points. Still, it’s possible this game could be a challenge. It is on the road, and Missouri coach Barry Odom has yet to notch an SEC road win. Vanderbilt usually plays tough, and they have the Ralph Webb Express. Webb is a senior running back who will be playing his final game at Vanderbilt Stadium. He’s is a durable player who needs just 40 rushing yards to reach 4,000 yards for his career. Missouri should still win, but this one could be a little tougher than the previous four blowout wins.
