Friends of Gallatin will flip the switch on the Daviess County Courthouse holiday lights at 6 p.m. this Saturday, Nov. 28. All are invited to this festive holiday event but the Friends ask that you remain in your parked vehicles as the lights come on.

The first annual Pattonsburg tree lighting will be at 7 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 28, on Central Street in Pattonsburg. Ornaments made by Pattonsburg art students will be displayed, and the Pattonsburg Fire Department will be providing hot chocolate. The lighting is sponsored by the City of Pattonsburg and the mayor's office.

Christmas light contest a ‘glow’

COVID has stripped away many community activities in 2020 but not so with one Gallatin tradition. As in years past, the Friends of Gallatin and City of Gallatin will sponsor the annual “Light Up the Night” decorating contest during the upcoming Christmas season. The 5th Annual ‘Light Up the Night’ Contest awards a $75 credit on January 2021 electric billing to those selected as the winner in one of two categories — residences and commercial. This is a “just for fun” event; rules are few and the effort brightens many. There is no entry fee. Registration forms are available at 2 Broads Salon, at Gallatin City Hall, at Gallatin Publishing Company, or you can complete registration online by completing the form on FriendsofGallatin.org. You must register on or before Dec. 28. A team of out-of-town and local judges choose winners. Contest results are announced soon after Christmas day. With so many things out of our control due to the pandemic, we can control our holiday spirit as the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ approaches. Local businesses and homeowners are encouraged to decorate windows and entrances both at home and at stores in yuletide spirit. Bethany Vandiver at 2 Broads Salon spearheads this local annual event.

Judge suspends jury trials in circuit, returns to Phase One COVID guidelines Ryan Horsman, Presiding Judge of the 43rd Circuit, entered two administrative orders on Nov. 23 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. One order suspends all jury trials in the 43rd Circuit, which comprises Caldwell, Clinton, Daviess, DeKalb and Livingston counties. Circuit clerks in those counties were ordered to suspend summoning and impaneling all petit jurors for all jury trials set to be heard through Dec. 31, 2020. The trials will be rescheduled to a later date by the judicial ofﬁcers presiding over the cases. A second order issued by Judge Horsman returns Daviess County to Phase One COVID-19 guidelines, as set forth in the Order and Operational Directives issued by the Supreme Court of Missouri on July 24, 2020.

With so many businesses, maybe Route M stands for Mennonites by T.L. Huﬀman, staﬀ writer

The ﬁrst families of the Horse and Buggy Mennonite community moved to their new location off Highway M, southeast of Gallatin, in March of 2008. Mr. Zimmerman and his family moved in 2012, representing the ninth family to leave Tunas, in south Missouri, for the new location. Mr. Zimmerman says everyone seems happy with the move. The crops are growing, the sheep and cattle and other livestock are thriving, and their several diverse businesses are doing well situated on the highway.

OPINION

Nov. 25, 2020

They gave … thanks!

When was the last time you really considered – not Thanksgiving as a holiday – but the pilgrims? This year almost marks the 400th anniversary of an event which spawns much nonsense, if we only think of turkey, pumpkin pie and school children attired in big belt buckles, white head bonnets, and Pilgrim hats. This year marks the voyage of the Pilgrims. The perils they endured on the high seas during 1620 were significant but hardly apart from a string of hard realities these people faced. First, they’re called Pilgrims because of that journey from the Old into the New World. The people who landed at Pilgrim’s Rock were actually separatists from the Church of England enduring discrimination. England’s law of the land not only prohibited these English citizens from worshipping as they pleased but also made it illegal to depart from the country. So, they snuck out. On one attempt they were betrayed and thrown into prison. On a second attempt, the men were forced into rethinking a plan to leave their women and children alone with the ship’s crew and for good reason. When the crew spotted potential trouble with the authorities, they weighed anchor and escaped to the open sea, leaving wives and youngsters wailing on the beaches. Eventually these soon-to-be Pilgrims evacuated to the city by Darryl Wilkinson of Leiden, Holland. For nearly 12 years they tried to make it home despite strangling economic circumstances. No different than today, people must move to where they can make a living and, during the Pilgrims’ day, the best opportunity to realize religious freedom with gainful employment seemed to be in America … despite the risks. It wasn’t easy finding a ship, but with difficulty The Mayflower set sail from Plymouth, England, in September 1620. Some scholars described the cramped living conditions as putting more than 100 people in roughly the space of a school bus – for a 2-month voyage! When they finally arrived in America, they found themselves more than 200 miles north of their intended destination. That first winter was brutal. Before leaving England, the Pilgrims likely knew that half of the 102 passengers would die during that first winter. Like today’s COVID pandemic, the death toll was not evenly distributed. It hit adults more than children, women more than men. So, of the 18 wives who are passengers on the Mayflower, 14 die before the spring. Ponder on that. By the time of the first Thanksgiving feast, there were only four women and just over half of the number of survivors are children. That first feast was attended overwhelmingly by widowers and orphans still facing a very uncertain future. And they gave … thanks! Pass the turkey and cranberry sauce? Not likely for the Pilgrims. Most likely they feasted on whatever the 90 or so Indians brought or what the Indians taught in helping the Pilgrims survive. Most likely they feasted on ducks and geese, fresh fish, mussels, clams or even some eels, alongside an Indian corn succotash as well as turnips, spinach, onions and other garden vegetables. Today we don’t even get the date right. The feast likely occurred in the early fall in 1621, not the last Thursday of November after most of today’s crops are harvested. Amazing Pilgrims? No. Amazing grace. Thanksgiving is a Christian holiday observed in America but in few other places elsewhere in the world. The Pilgrims, our forefathers, truly celebrated God’s kindness in the midst of what most of us would consider untold tragedy. Their focus was not on their troubles in this world, but on the hope and promise God has given to all mankind. During this year marred by COVID, we would do well to do likewise and celebrate God’s grace – through Jesus Christ’s victory over death, come whatever may – and give Him thanks.

FEMA should own up to mistakes by Congressman Sam Graves

This week, the House passed my bill, the bipartisan Preventing Disaster Revictimization Act, to hold the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) accountable for their mistakes and stop the agency from going after disaster victims that apply in good faith for relief funds. Last year, when communities across North Missouri were hit by record flooding, it took what felt like an eternity for FEMA to assess the situation and finally get aid to families who lost their homes to flooding. When the money finally did come, many used that money right away, whether it was for home repairs, relocation costs, or replacing what they lost. What they weren’t expecting was for FEMA to go back on their word and decide they didn’t really qualify for disaster aid. In one

fused to meet with their fellow members from around the state for fear of contracting it and ﬂed back to their home districts. In response, Gov. Joseph Folk refused to let the legislature shut down, stating the only time that had happened was during the Civil War. The Sergeant-at-Arms was instructed to locate the wayward legislators and bring them back, by force if necessary. But returning proved difﬁcult as many of the hotels where the legislators stayed refused to board them. In response, the governor allowed them to live in the governor’s mansion. The Jeff City mayor recommended all places of amusement be closed, similar to the shutdown many businesses have endured during COVID. Further complicating things, the capitol building was fumigated with formaldehyde, whose strong smell rendered the capitol unusable for a while. When the session reconvened, no public was allowed in – only legislators, lob-

awarded to disaster victims as long as no fraud is committed in the application process. When a federal agency messes up, they need to own up to it and they need to pay the price, not the folks who are just trying to get back on their feet after a disaster has destroyed their home and their lives. If disaster victims have applied honestly and in good faith, they shouldn’t be penalized for FEMA’s mistake. It also holds FEMA accountable, by requiring the agency to report to Congress on mistakenly awarded funds and making sure these mistakes are limited. This bill will ﬁnally put a stop to the revictimization of disaster victims by FEMA and ensures the agency does what it was meant to do: take care of disaster victims, not harass them, harangue them, and make their lives more difﬁcult.

Pre-ﬁling decisions loom

By State Sen. Dan Hegeman

As we continue to work through another extraordinary session, lawmakers are already preparing for the start of next year’s legislative session in Jefferson City. On Dec. 1, or the ﬁrst day of business in December, members of the Missouri General Assembly may pre-ﬁle bills for the up-

When smallpox (not COVID) was the scourge The Special Session called to allocate funds for COVID and reform lawsuits for COVID has been postponed, ironically, due to COVID. An outbreak in the Senate has caused concern, so they will idle for a couple weeks and then consider returning. Interestingly, this is not the ﬁrst time a virus outbreak has caused an interruption of the legislature. I recently came across an article about a January 1907 outbreak of smallpox, which is more contagious and deadlier than COVID. The outbreak so concerned one state representative that he offered a resolution that read “all members of the House are hereby requested to take sulphur, cream of tartar, eat onions three times a day, and wear suspended around the neck a small bag of asafetida (ferula root extract) both night and day until danger has passed.” Some legislators became so scared of the virus that they re-

case of an individual from Craig, MO, FEMA demanded more than $12,000 back from a ﬂood victim they had awarded relief funds. It wasn’t because of fraud or deceit on the part of the person who received it; it was because FEMA made a mistake. Now $12,000 might be a drop in the bucket to FEMA and the government, but that’s a huge deal for a family trying to rebuild their lives after a disaster. When FEMA does this, it doesn’t just impact one individual or only the cases where FEMA makes a mistake, but every individual that receives FEMA assistance. It makes folks a whole lot more hesitant to spend disaster relief funds to rebuild their lives if they’re afraid FEMA is going to come knock down their door and demand those funds back. My bill is simple. It stops FEMA from clawing back funds

byists, and reporters. Handshakes became frowned upon, no one was allowed in the capitol until they had their temperature taken, and a special committee was formed to investigate and discuss the smallpox outbreak, all of which also happened this year with COVID. Eventually, smallpox vaccinations, which had existed for years, were mandated, and anyone who would not take them was not permitted to work or serve at the capitol. That mandate probably won’t ﬂy with COVID. In the end, the smallpox outbreak lasted two to three months, and three representatives and ﬁve clerks contracted it. None of them died. To my knowledge, one to two dozen legislators and staffers have contracted COVID over the 10 months it has been with us, also with no deaths.

coming legislative session. Prefiling allows lawmakers a jump start on the legislative process. For many, pre-filed bills can also serve as an indication of what issues will be discussed and debated during the upcoming session. Pre-filed legislation is entered into the Senate bill hopper based on seniority. The longest-serving member of the Senate is granted the three lowest numbers, followed by the next-senior member, with majority party legislators taking a spot in line before minority party lawmakers with equal experience. Each legislator is assigned three bill numbers as the Senate secretary works through the prefiled bills. The cycle repeats until all bills are assigned numbers. With only weeks left until the start of the 2021 session, I am listening to my constituents and

considering how the Legislature can address their needs and concerns before I pre-file any pieces of legislation. Your input will help me determine what legislative changes are necessary, as well as ways we can best move our state forward. While pre-filing often serves as the two-minute warning before the start of a legislative session, it is also a reminder of the work ahead of us. Each legislative session presents its own set of challenges, but it also represents an opportunity to improve the lives of all Missourians. As I look ahead to 2021, I will continue to support legislation that makes state government as efficient as possible, while also working to make our great state a better place to live, work and raise a family.

Hedrick Medical Center moves COVID-19 drive-thru testing Hedrick Medical Center has moved their COVID-19 drivethru testing site to a new location to better accommodate anticipated winter weather in the coming months. The site, located at the former Washington Street Food & Drink site in Chillicothe (1100 Washington St), closed on Nov. 12. The new location, the American Legion building located at 1400 Washington Street in Chillicothe, opened on Nov. 13. The testing site hours will remain the same, operating Mon-

day through Friday, 8:30 a.m. – 2 p.m. Drive-thru testing for COVID-19 is available to all residents in the region who meet testing criteria and who obtain an order from a health care provider prior to arriving at the testing site. “We looked at our current site and realized that winter weather might cause some issues for staff and patients alike,” said Steve Schieber, CEO, Hedrick Medical Center. “Our new site will provide patients with an overhang to pull under, providing both the patient and our

staff members cover in the case of inclement weather. I want to thank Ed Milbank for donating use of the former Washington Street Food & Drink location for the past eight months. I also want to thank the Chillicothe American Legion for allowing us to use their building for a testing site going forward.

Grades 7-12 exercised an alternate method of instruction-extension plan Nov. 9-17 due to a couple of high school students testing positive for COVID-19. Thanksgiving break will be Nov. 25-29 for R-3 students. The Christmas program is planned for Dec. 10. End of second quarter will be Dec. 22, which is an early out and the last day of classes before Christmas break. During new business, Mary McCrary was offered a contract as interim preschool teacher. Bonnie Yates’ contract was corrected from a probationary contract to a permanent contract. Yates is the library and tech teacher. Motions were made to approve gift cards for staff appreciation and adopt Board Policies 2115 and 6180 and Regulation 6190. The bell and public address system in the ag shop was im-

proved and updated. The board went into executive meeting to discuss employee and student matters. Principal Kelly Hightree reported that enrollment is now at a total of 53 with two students in preschool, 22 in elementary and 29 in the high school.

The new Missouri Department of Health quarantine guidelines were discussed during the meeting of the Winston Board of Education held Nov. 17. The guidelines allow close contacts in the school setting to remain in school if the school district has a mask mandate in place. After discussion, the board did not put a mask mandate in place as they felt that the school district quarantine numbers did not warrant a masking mandate at this time. The board discussed that if quarantine numbers increased to a number that a masking mandate was beneficial to keep students in school, it could be put in place at that time. Current student and staff quarantine numbers can be seen on the school’s website. New limits on attendance to basketball games were reviewed with four fans per home athlete and two fans per visiting athlete being able to attend each game to help with social distancing guidelines. Varsity basketball game guidelines can be seen on the school’s website and social media page. All home games are

$25 million invested in East Locust Creek Reservoir Project

U.S. Senator Roy Blunt (MO), a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, announced that the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has invested an additional $25 million in the East Locust Creek Reservoir Project. “This investment in the East Locust Creek Reservoir Project is great news for families, farmers, and local businesses,” said Blunt. “These additional resources will get us one step closer to finishing the project and bringing an end to the severe water shortages that have disrupted businesses and daily life in the area. Improving water infrastructure and reliability will, in turn, create a stronger foundation for economic development in the years to come.” The East Locust Creek Reservoir service area includes Mercer, Putnam, Schuyler, Grundy, Sullivan, Adair, Livingston, Linn, Macon, and Chariton counties. As a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, Blunt has led efforts to secure resources for the East Locust Creek Reservoir Project in the FY2016, FY2017, FY2018, FY2019, and FY2020 government funding bills. The recently released FY2021 Senate agriculture appropriations bill includes $12 million in additional funding. In October, Blunt commended USDA Rural Development for awarding a $3 million grant and $5 million loan to modernize equipment at the East Locust Creek water treatment plant. Blunt was in Milan last year when USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service announced that the project received an additional $5.6 million, which was included in the Bluntbacked FY2019 funding bill. Following Blunt’s advocacy, the Department of Transportation awarded a $13.5 million BUILD Grant to the East Locust Creek Reservoir Project in November 2019. In August 2018, Blunt announced that the USDA invested $20 million in the project to prepare the dam’s site, access corridors, and other key infrastructure for the next phase of construction.

Gallatin Council considers options for street project financing

Charlie Zitnik with D.A. Davidson led a discussion on street project financing options at the Nov. 23 meeting of the Gallatin Board of Aldermen. Zitnik confirmed that since the street project doesn’t involve the water system, USDA approval isn’t required to obtain financing. He did state that if a major street resurfacing project is planned, continued maintenance is needed since streets have a short life. The board agreed to have Mr. Zitnik run financing terms for a $75,000 annual payment for seven years funded through the transportation sales tax. The funding would be used to resurface West Grand and possibly East Berry and Corrine. Only using $75,000 of the transportation tax would allow for the remaining transportation tax funds to be used for chip/seal and hot mix projects. Zitnik said that other cities have proposed by ballot measure to remove the “sunset” portion of sales tax for their citizens to vote on. If the sunset were removed it could help secure longer funding terms for projects. Other funding needs were disclosed. Discussion was held on a possible option of rolling in the dump truck financing and AMI metering financing with the street resurfacing project. Mr. Zitnik requested the board state

Rick A. Asher 1951-2020 Richard Allen Asher, 68, Hamilton, died Nov. 18, 2020. Rick was born Dec. 21, 1951, to Paul and Helen (Miles) Asher. Rick was a graduate of Cameron High School. He drove a truck for Cameron Coop for 20 years, then worked for the street department for the city of Cameron until his retirement. He is preceded in death by

the timing needed for financing. He said if the board didn’t need the street or AMI meter system financing immediately that it would be in their best interest to wait until the financing is needed to avoid interest payments at this time. The board agreed to move forward with H.L. Sinkhorn for tree trimming services since no other bid has been received. The board only agreed to $20,000 of tree trimming which was budgeted in 2020. Public Works Director Morey stated he has contacted Rural Water to assist in researching the water issue on Cedar Street. Crews have dug up Cedar Street several times but haven’t been able to locate the root cause of the water in the street. Rural Water will use correlators to help identify the original source of the water flowing in the street. Mid-States is currently still in town taking down old cable lines and installing new fiber lines, and their tree trimmers are now addressing problem areas. Morey stated there are 8 to 10 different small areas in town that our electrical crew will need to repair before Mid-States can move into that area; however, the City of Gallatin can bill MidStates for the work that is performed in those areas. Morey provided two AMI system metering bids for the board

Morey stated we have hired People Service to utilize their valve exerciser to address a few areas in town. Alderman Lockridge is recommending that the board move forward with the dump truck and AMI financing options and the board wait to consider the street project financing for West Grand specifically. The council directed Administrator Lance Rains to start seeking CDBG Grant Funds for a large street project in the future. Police Chief Mark Richards provided a few updates regarding property complaints throughout the town and submitted an activity report dated Oct. 26, 2020, for the board to review: two welfare checks, two domestic disturbances, three animal control, one peace disturbance, two property damage, one suspicious person circumstance, one dog at large, four medical assists, two harassments, two juvenile problems, two suspicious activity, one fire, one citizen assist, one theft, one civil standby. There are no dogs in the pound. The council approved accounts payable in the amount of $41,799.45. In old business, Administra-

tor Rains, Public Works Director Morey, and Alderman McCann performed two interviews for engineers to upgrade the 2400 Electrical System. Discussion was held on the engineers. Rains recommended the board consider working with the larger engineering firm in order to establish a relationship for other possible projects in the future; for example, a pole replacement program to replace the electrical poles through town that were installed 30 years ago. The council unanimously accepted Finley Engineering to upgrade the 2400 system at the estimated amount of $14,750. The council also unanimously accepted the 2021 health, dental, vision and life insurance quotes with Heritage Companies/Todd Childers. The board agreed to postpone discussion of the dump truck financing options until the next meeting. In new business, Bill No. 2020-20, Ordinance No. 1249-20, was read twice by Mayor Barb Ballew. It is an ordinance establishing rules related to multiple unit commercial structures to be billed for utility cost of service. The council unanimously voted to approve bill No. 2020. Regarding cost of service rates for commercial and residential, the council unanimously approved the billing of all apart-

ments at Rest Easy Apartments as residential users across all utilities; furthermore, pointing out that all residential users in the City of Gallatin are to be charged the current cost of service for electric, water, and sewer as follows: Current Rates as of November 2020 Electric Cost of Service – Residential $10.00 Electric Cost of Service – Commercial $20.00 Water – First 1,000 Gallons $38.95 Over 1,000 Gallons $7.25 per 1,000 Gallons (Multi-unit cost of service - additional $31.70 per unit) Sewer – First 1,000 Gallons $25.50 Over 1,000 Gallons $4.50 per 1,000 Gallons (Multi-unit cost of service - additional $21.00 per unit)

The board held a closed session to consider the hiring, firing, disciplining or promoting of particular employees, and the meeting adjourned at 9:23 p.m. The above are the unapproved minutes of the regular meeting held on Nov. 23. In attendance were Mayor Barbara Ballew, Board President Carol Walker, Aldermen Steve Evans, Dan Lockridge, Dan McCann, City Administrator Lance Rains, City Clerk Hattie Rains, Public Works Director Mark Morey, Police Chief Mark Richards, and Charlie Zitnik with D.A.
