Bicentennial Quilt includes all counties, local quilter tapped for Daviess’ block Since the pioneer days of the American Midwest, quilts have been a cornerstone of Missouri culture, fashion, and tradition. In honor of our great state’s 200th anniversary (August of 2021), the State Historical Society of Missouri and Missouri Star Quilt Company of Hamilton, in partnership with the Missouri State Quilters Guild, teamed up to create the Missouri Bicentennial Quilt.

With one quilt block to represent every Missouri county and the independent city of St. Louis, the Missouri Bicentennial Quilt showcases the unique characteristics of Missouri culture and style.

Gwen Forsythe’s quilt block was selected for Daviess County.

The Daviess County resident says she heard that no block had been submitted for the county.

“I’m not a quilter per se,” says Forsythe. “I’ve been sewing for as long as I can remember. My grandmother made her living as a seamstress in a factory in Kansas City. My mother and her brother also worked in the same factory as teenagers. Sewing is

just in my blood.”

Quilt block submissions were accepted from Oct. 8, 2018, through Sept. 2, 2019. Multiple submissions for the same county were judged according to whether they met criteria, level of creativity and craft, and description of significance. The judging committee included representatives from Missouri Star Quilt Company, State Historical Society of Missouri, and Missouri State Quilters Guild. All quilt block submissions will remain available for viewing in the gallery at the Missouri Bicentennial Quilt

website through 2021.

Forsythe says she chose the theme for the block because Daviess County is known for its Amish influence.

Forsythe says she has not yet had the opportunity to see the actual quilt. Although the Missouri Bicentennial Quilt is finished and ready to tour the state, due to our changing health environment, the exhibition of the Missouri Bicentennial Quilt has been put on hold. In the meantime, you can enjoy viewing a digital display of the Quilt at https://missouri2021. org/bicentennial-quilt/.

Emergency Planning discusses vaccination plan for county Cheryl Alexander, administrator with the Daviess County Health Department, discussed the mass vaccination plan the county has in place, during the most recent meeting of the Local Emergency Planning Commission.

“The county has always had a public health emergency plan,” Alexander says.

“In the vaccination plan we have set up ‘points of dispensation’ or PODS. Those might be drive-through clinics or it might be located inside somewhere. The plan tells us things like how many we have on staff — medical staff, intake staff, and security staff. It tells us how many shots we can give per hour, along with other useful information.”

Mrs. Alexander also discussed the COVID-19 vaccine that is supposed to be available to first responders in December.

She explains that among first responders are doctors and nurses in any situation, and anyone who responds to the home, such as fire, ambulance, and police.

The vaccine will be available to the community at a later date, probably

around April 2021.

The board also discussed the “long term care facility testing plan and protocol.”

Mrs. Alexander gave a report on COVID-19 in Daviess County: Cases since July - 250; Active - 108; Recovered - 142; and deaths - 5. She reported many of the schools have written plans in place about when to close their schools. Some schools will be doing rapid testing in the schools, but only of teachers who are symptomatic. She presented the hazmat plan for the health department.

Jim Ruse, Daviess County Presiding Commissioner, reported all CARES Act money (grants) must be finalized in December; so far they have given $640,000 in CARES Act grants to the community.

David Roll, director of Daviess County Emergency Management Agency, reported his mass fatality group met early in October in St. Joseph and examined the mass fatality trailer that contains a deployable tent that holds 24 bodies. The tent can be set up as a temporary morgue

near a funeral home, morgue, health care facility, or onsite at a disaster.

The group has developed a strike team to assist with North Missouri jurisdictions.

Deanna Lewis, administrator at the Active Aging Resource Center, reported some senior citizens have been hearing a scam. Someone is calling posing as a contact tracer and will ask for social security and Medicare numbers. She has tried to educate everyone that the health department does not ask for any of that information. Daviess County Sheriff-Elect Larry Adams said he can present a program at the Active Aging Resource Center about scams from the Division of Aging.

The Rev. Robert Nelson reported the Ministerial Alliance cancelled the traditional Thanksgiving service they have every year, which brings in a lot of extra funding for the group. They are currently without funding. They put an ad in the paper for donations. Ministerial Alliance helps those in need of paying utility bills and with basic needs. He said all churches are trying to do social distancing and

more cleaning. He spoke about his experience with COVID-19.

Sheriff-Elect Adams reported business as usual with the sheriff ’s department but is concerned about the mental health crisis in our area. His staff is doing mental health and substance abuse trainings.

David Roll gave the treasurer report: $255 paid to Mi Mexico from last January’s annual meeting was the only bill and was accepted by the board.

Roll reported no response about the CEPF grant yet from MERC. Bill Brinton reported many of the grant meetings have been on hold due to COVID-19. He reported the mobile weather station is on hold due to funding. He will send out information as it comes in about refresher SEMA and FEMA courses as well as courses available to use the hazmat kits.

Roll would like to go to the surplus building in Jefferson City to purchase some waterproof boxes at two for $30. The board voted in favor of the purchase. Roll also wants to pick up MREs at the same (continued on page 3)

OPINION

Dec. 2, 2020

Started shopping yet?

Have you started your Christmas shopping yet? Not me. I hesitate to say I hate Christmas shopping, but yarns of shopping Christmases past come to mind.

A man on a budget wasn’t meant to go shopping. Once a time ago I was pushing a shopping cart loaded with stuff that probably nobody wanted ... a cookware collection minus a few choice pieces, a table clock that was supposed to run on batteries (not included, of course), and an assortment of want-nots from the clearance shelves. The pickin’s are always slim when you procrastinate.

My momma taught me to give the kind of gift you want to receive.

So, looking down into that shopping cart and beginning to feel kinda cheap, I asked myself, “Self, what do you want?”

The answer came easily. All I really want for Christmas is a king size Snickers candy bar (...well, to be truthful, I want a whole box of Snickers that I don’t have to share with anyone else).

I can’t say when my addiction to Snickers first developed, probably back in the day when a full-sized bar sold for 25 cents. Over the years the wrappers shrunk. Today the “fun size” consists of nothin’ meaningful — which is what I tell myself as I battle the temptations anyway. But I cannot deny my passion.

Snickers should be history for me. I’ve got a doctor who pretends to be my friend but has me taking a couple or three pills and tasking

by Darryl Wilkinson me with daily finger sticks. I’ve got a couple of grandsons who are allergic to peanuts, and I’ve got a mirror that reminds me what too much chocolate or any good thing to eat does to me. So, I don’t keep a stash of Snickers anywhere within reach anymore.

Most of the time this is no problem. Stores usually display candy bars on racks about shoulder high as you wait at the checkout counter which, you know, does them no good when your spouse is on patrol and alert to your impulsive whims. But during Christmas shopping, you can find candy in the most unusual places.

Until that particular day I found myself among toiletries when I noticed it — a 6-foot string of Snickers in one long packet sale-priced and hanging up next to the shampoo. It was a little bit of heaven right there in Aisle 14. All I had to do was figure out a way past my wife at the checkout counter.

I stood in total concentration when a bigger problem loomed just ahead. She stood 6-foot-1 and had to weigh over 200 pounds and the look in her eyes was as hard as any pulling guard I ever faced on the gridiron as she moved to block me out from getting those Snickers.

One glancing blow of her battleship hip dashed my chance at landing the prize. Without so much as a “Bah, humbug!” she grabbed the candy bars and turned to get away. Since she looked like her name oughta been Matilda, I assumed it was. The S.S. Matilda came chuggin’ out of that aisle and rounded the disposable paper products to head straight toward the checkout counter.

That’s about the time I witnessed what could only be called shopping aisle rage ... no, it wasn’t me but some other old coot who apparently shares the same addiction.

It happened fast. All I know is what I saw. He rammed into Matilda, then slung and flung things out of her cart until he got his hands

Thankful going forward

by Congressman Sam Graves

Suggesting we have much to be thankful for this year might sound a bit disingenuous. After all, 2020 has been a year unlike many of us have ever seen.

In many cases, it’s been a year of loss. Loved ones, jobs, milestones, school years…let’s be honest, many are just looking towards 2021 and hoping it gets here sooner rather than later.

Yet, this pandemic has made it clear that we also have many things to be thankful for.

I’m thankful for our healthcare workers, who are currently putting in the longest hours they ever have to get folks healthy again. I’m also thankful for the leaders of these healthcare facilities, who have difficult decisions to make and balance sheets and staffing levels that don’t necessarily work with the job they are tasked with getting done. With

limited resources to begin with, our healthcare providers are doing everything they can to get the job done …and I know that they will.

Likewise, I’m thankful for our school personnel, all of whom have faced unbelievable odds this year to educate our children.

Like our rural hospitals, education was a challenge before, and it is even more so now.

I’m thankful for our businesses. For any small business, this has been the most difficult year in their history. Last Saturday was Small Business Saturday. It happens every year, but this year the push should keep going onward. The best way to say thanks to our small businesses is to shop locally.

Finally, I’m thankful for our local community leaders. From Parkville to Palmyra, each community in North Missouri is a

little bit different, and folks are coming together to do what’s best for their area.

This year has been filled with more stress and difficult decisions than most have ever faced before. As we enter the holiday season, keep in mind a little grace goes a long way. Failure to give and receive it means you’ve probably missed the point.

This year has made it clear that we need those around us — our friends, family and neighbors. There’s no way we could make it through a year like this without them.

One of the things I love about North Missouri is that we help each other through tough circumstances. This year has been no different. Take a moment this week to say thanks to those who have been a blessing to you throughout 2020. It will go a long way.

What’s next? State of the State address may reveal The title of this column is a question that kept popping into my head during Missouri’s gubernatorial campaign. That question repeatedly was asked by fictional president Jed Bartlet in the TV series West Wing of two decades ago.

Bartlet used that question to cut off meandering conversations by his staff that went nowhere. To one aide, Bartlet explained “it means I’m ready to move on to other things.”

As Missouri’s gubernatorial campaign seemed more dominated by attacks than specific, positive proposals for the next four years, I pondered when the campaigns would move on to “other things.”

There are some pretty major “what’s next” questions facing Missouri that were not fully answered. Those questions include implementation of voterapproved Medicaid expansion; the

by Phill economic impact from COVID-19; the Brooks likelihood of a possible crisis-load of patients because of COVID-19, violent crime rates, and a potential funding shortfall for education.

Add to that list the secretly-funded attack ads that increasingly dominate Missouri’s campaigns. Those are just a few of the “what’s next” questions facing the state’s governor.

Democrat Joe Biden’s victory for president adds a wrinkle to the West Wing question because of his focus on specific issues for his future administration. For example, will Biden’s call for face mask requirements have any impact on Gov. Mike Parson who continues to reject mask mandates? Will Parson place a greater emphasis on police race relations in his law enforcement proposals given Biden’s election outreach to Blacks?

Another “what’s next” question involves style.

Will Biden’s history of seeking compromises and his repeated promises to work across party lines have any impact on Republican Parson’s approach to Democrats in the Missouri General Assembly?

On one hand, there’s no political pressure for Parson

to change his approach. Missouri voters handed large While Parson has avoided the tactics taken against majorities to all five Republican statewide office holders Schweich, including a whispering campaign about the on the ballot. Republicans will continue to hold command- deceased auditor’s religion, Parson has embraced a ing majorities in both the Missouri Senate and House.

Pattonsburg school closed through Dec. 7 due to positive COVID case Pattonsburg R-2 School District had a positive COVID-19 case in its building, according to a letter posted to the community by Superintendent Bill Pottorff.

Due to close contacts, the school does not have enough staff to provide all the services needed to keep the school open.

Pattonsburg closed from Nov. 23 and continues closed through Dec. 7; school sessions resume Dec. 8. The school has provided packets for its students to continue the educational process.

Teachers were in school on Nov. 23-24 making packets for students. These assignments will be counted towards their grade.

Students may email Mary Thatcher Burkhead or call her at the school to get on the lunch list. Lunches will be available for pick up for Wednesday, Dec. 2 and Friday, Dec. 4, from 12 noon to 1 p.m.

A McFall pick up for food and packets can be arranged upon request.

Athletics will not change since there are currently no players in quarantine.

Vaccination plans location and bottled water at a total cost around $240. The board carried a motion to purchase the items.

Bill Brinton discussed and showed pictures of the new hazmat building in St. Joseph and the old building that was destroyed in 18 seconds by a straight wind in June 2020.

There has been no news on the mitigation plan for Daviess County at this time.

Discussion was held about the 2020 election and the possibility of unrest. Larry Adams reported one deputy would be assigned to cover polling locations in case any issues/unrest occurred, along with regular daily staffing.

Alexander discussed the policy for those isolated or quarantined who wanted to vote on election day.

Daniel and Connie Plemons,

Pattonsburg will refinance to save money, votes ‘no’ on mask mandate The Pattonsburg R-2 Board of Education recently heard a report from Bruce Johnson, a representative from L.J. Hart & Company, a municipal bond underwriting firm based in St. Louis, on refinancing the current bond, which will save the district $219,144 through the next 16 years.

During the November board meeting, the board approved L.J. Hart and Company to serve as the underwriter for the Series of 2020 refinancing bonds. The board also authorized the issuance and sale of the general obligation and refunding bonds, Series 2020, with L.J. Hart & Company.

Turning to other matters at their Nov. 18 meeting, Supt. Bill Pottorff explained that the school currently had five staff and approximately 20 students who either had COVID or were close contacts.

The board discussed a mandated mask policy and the board voted 6-1 for not mandating masks at this time.

The list of substitutes was approved.

guests, reported they are trainers for CERT and they have done trainings with SEMA and FEMA. They were just visiting as they are concerned about the safety and well being of the community.

David Roll discussed the need for a quick budget meeting in December so he can finalize the FY2021 budget. The LEPC board will do a Zoom meeting on Dec. 16 at 12 noon.

The annual meeting is at noon on Jan. 27, 2021, at Dockery Park with lunch provided by LEPC from Mi Mexico.

The above are the unapproved minutes of the Oct. 30 meeting of the LEPC. Those in attendance who were not mentioned above include David Cox, commissioner; Wayne Uthe, commissioner; Lance Rains, Gallatin City Administrator; Lorne Demke and Allison Ward, guests.

Cameras will be installed from NFHS Network, a Pixellot system, so that community members can get on and watch games from home.

Some CARES Act money will be used for updating the internet in the elementary so that it will be more accessible.

Athletic Director Lee Warford discussed each of the fall sports and the team’s accomplishments. He also discussed the upcoming winter sports and some of the things going on with that.

Principal Alan McCrary and Assistant Principal Arah Gay reported the elementary attendance for October was 97.41% and the high school attendance was 94.29%.

Parent Teacher Conferences were held on Oct. 17. The elementary had about 68% of its parents show up and 26% met via phone/email for a total of 94%. The high school had around 44% of the parents show up. Some of the low turnout could have been due to high school softball having their district game.

Teacher in-service was held on Nov.

(continued from page 2) on the hallowed candy. Then he held the string up high overhead as if in some sort of ritual trance. It truly was a spiritual moment because as he lowered the candy bars into his own shopping basket, I heard him softly hum “Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing.”

He nestled the candy between the bread and toilet paper in his basket and took about a dozen steps toward the front of the store when retaliation arrived.

Matilda’s hips came carvin’ out a four-foot swath down the aisle. I’m still not sure whether she bumped into his shopping basket, the shelf, or into the old man bendin’ over to pay homage to his chocolate grail. I do know his head went flyin’ into a display rack, and the precious candy bars wound up smashed under Matilda’s size 13 boots.

My version of what occurred didn’t line up very well with either story that Matilda or the old man later told the store manager. The only statement of agreement in all three versions

9. Staff worked on curriculum units and were given time to work on planning for the week with the addition of multiple quarantined students.

Midterms for second quarter are Nov. 20. Grades will be posted on the website before winter break. Finals will be December 21 and 22.

The winter program will be held during the day at school.

A handicapped van was discussed but no action was taken.

The board also talked about its policy for varsity basketball games. The administrators suggested that 250 people be allowed in for the home side and 150 allowed in for the visitor side for all basketball games. The gatekeepers will be collecting money as well as counting how many people come into the gymnasium.

The above are the unapproved minutes of the Nov. 18 meeting of the Pattonsburg R-2 School Board. Present was Brian Teel, Bret Hangley, Ben deJong, Brooke Johnson, Steve Pankau, Josh Hulet, and Lyle “Briggs” Hoover.

was: “I don’t know either one of these people.” In exasperation, the store manager declared the whole matter would be put to rest if someone paid for — and nobody went home with — the Snickers.

My eyes and Matilda’s happened to focus on the old man simultaneously. That set the ol’ boy off. He rose up like a Woolly Mammoth, half petrified but awakened in the wrong century.

He struck out at the nearest pliable object, which had the unfortunate chance to be Matilda’s ample and animated left rear bumper.

It was more reflex than premeditation but Matilda, assumin’ that she was bein’ attacked by an elderly Baptist in the midst of the snack foods at the checkout counter, retaliated with an equally spontaneous elbow to his lower jaw, ‘causin’ his dentures to erupt like a hot banana in a clenched fist, landin’ atop a display of Dentyne Mint Gum captioned, “Have You Had Your Blast Today?”

Before the store manager could react, Matilda had the old guy in a death-inducin’ headlock while his free hand flailed through the Twinkies, slammin’

Matilda’s hip with every snack food available to the average American consumer.

The distraught manager desperately looked at me. I sighed and repeated, “I don’t know either one of ‘em... (then alertly added) Where do you keep your toilet cleanser?”

The store manager pried the combatants apart with two mops and a death threat. Once clear, Matilda went chuggin’ along her merry way, invigorated by the battle and with only a smudge of chocolate on her left knee to betray her ferocity.

The store manager told the old man and me to just go home, that nobody had to pay for the smashed merchandise. Just go.

I felt relieved. But the old man turned to me and muttered what I was thinking: “I hate Christmas shoppin’. I really do.”

Then I noticed him smiling as he walked out the door. I watched as he drifted into the back seat of the car. While his wife drove away, he unwrapped one of those smashed Snickers he’d managed to conceal during his escape. I bet a Snickers never tasted so good.

Oh, by the way, have you started your Christmas shopping yet?

Shop local more important than ever

by State Sen. Dan Hegeman

Great job by a group of great gals!

Gallatin Square is lit up and ready for the Christmas season, thanks to the ladies (not everyone pictured) who donated their time and talent to help decorate and pull off Gallatin’s Christmas lighting ceremony last Saturday. Our little town square looks beautiful!

For many, the Friday after Thanksgiving signals the beginning of the holiday shopping season. During this time, we are constantly bombarded with advertisements about the deals we could receive if we shop online.

While there is no denying that many consumers benefit from the competitive pricing and wide selections offered by online merchants, those benefits come at a cost, and too often that burden falls on our communities.

We are blessed with many great, local retailers here in northwest Missouri. These are our friends, family members and people we know, right here in our own communities. They have taken the risks of opening businesses and found whatever level of success they currently enjoy.

Unfortunately, I believe the ongoing pandemic has forced too

many small businesses throughout our part of the state to close their doors. This holiday season is immensely critical to those businesses that are still alive.

This concept of shopping locally has been taken a step further by our lieutenant governor, who promotes a program called “Buy Missouri.”

This economic development initiative actively promotes the products that are grown, manufactured, processed and/or made in Missouri to other states, and even the world. It is also a great way to learn more about the many small businesses that currently exist in our state.

With so many great people and an abundance of buying options, there is no reason to stay at home and order your Christmas gifts online. From where I stand, people feel better knowing their hard-earned dollars are

staying in their own community, and will benefit everybody, when they shop locally. It does not have to be a large purchase.

A gift card for a friend can be enough not only to show that person you care, but also to show your neighbor you care whether or not he and his wife will still have a business to run next week, and the week after.

Young hunters took 37 deer in November Preliminary data from the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) shows that young hunters in Daviess County ages six through 15 harvested 38 deer during the late youth portion of the 2020 deer hunting season, Nov. 2729. Of those deer harvested, 16 were antlered buck; six were button bucks, and 16 were does.

In the state of the 3,961 deer harvested, 1,464 were antlered bucks, 521 were button bucks, and 1,976 were does.

Top counties for the late youth portion were Osage with 90 deer harvested, Pike with 89, and Franklin with 73.

Last year’s harvest total for the late youth portion was 1,950 with 771 being antlered bucks, 204 button bucks, and 975 does.

“The total for this year’s late youth portion is the highest on record,” said MDC Cer-

vid Program Supervisor Jason Isabelle. “Great weather contributed to an impressive harvest total for this year’s late youth portion of firearms deer season.”

Isabelle added that during shorter portions of firearms deer season, weather has an especially important effect on harvest.

“The weather for most of the late youth portion was great this year,” he said.

“Pleasant conditions struck a nice balance between being cool enough to encourage deer movement, but comfortable enough for young hunters to be out in the field.”

Archery deer season runs through Jan. 15, 2021. The antlerless portion of firearms deer season runs Dec. 4-6 followed by the alternative methods portion Dec. 26 through Jan. 5, 2021.

MDC reports firearms deer harvest Preliminary data from the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) shows that deer hunters in Daviess County harvested 1,532 deer during the November portion of firearms deer season, Nov. 14-24. Of the deer harvested, 900 were antlered bucks, 106 were button bucks, and 526 were does.

Across the state, 176,598 deer were harvested, 95,651 were antlered bucks, 16,044 were button bucks, and 64,903 were does.

Top harvest counties were Howell with 3,494 deer harvested, Franklin with 3,408, and Texas with 3,376.

Last year hunters checked 179,960 deer during the November portion of firearms deer season with 91,917 being antlered bucks, 17,330 being button bucks, and 70,713 being does.

“Hunters posted an im-

pressive harvest total given the challenging conditions, particularly on opening weekend,” said MDC Cervid Program Supervisor Jason Isabelle. “Typically, about half of the harvest occurs during the first two days of the season.

Unfortunately, hunters were greeted by rain and high winds to start the season, resulting in harvest numbers falling behind last year’s mark early.”

MDC reported three firearms-related hunting incidents during the November portion of the firearms deer season with all being non-fatal and self-inflicted.

Archery deer season resumes Nov. 25 through Jan. 15, 2021. The late youth portion runs Nov. 27-29. The antlerless portion of firearms deer season runs Dec. 4-6 followed by the alternative methods portion Dec. 26 through Jan. 5, 2021.

New COVID-19 Vaccine Website for Missourians As research and development of multiple COVID-19 vaccines continue to show promising safety and effectiveness findings, Governor Mike Parson has announced the launch of a new vaccine website for Missouri residents.

MOStopsCOVID.com provides Missourians with information regarding the safety of the vaccines, research, and production processes, and when they may be eligible for vaccination. The website will also offer additional functionality as vaccines become available.

“It’s been remarkable to learn about the work that has been going on for many months now among scientists and researchers, many of whom are right here in Missouri,” Governor Parson said. “The most important thing we’ve learned about the accelerated development process is that steps have not been eliminated but are instead occurring simultaneously. Safety is not being sacrificed, and it’s important for Missourians to understand this.”

The new website includes

answers to common questions Missouri residents may have, such as when they will be able to receive the vaccine and how well it works. It also clarifies misinformation that citizens may have heard about the vaccines. The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services (DHSS) and partners across the state continue to make preparations in advance of a vaccine arrival, which is anticipated to occur prior to the end of 2020. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices has identified the purposes of a COVID-19 vaccine as: • Decrease death and serious disease, • Preserve functioning of society, • Reduce extra burden that COVID-19 is having on people already facing disparities, and • Increase the chance for everyone to enjoy health and well-being.

A vaccine will initially become available in a limited quantity once it is proven safe and effective, approved for Emergency Use Authorization

(EUA) by the FDA, and when the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) has provided its recommendations on the use of the vaccines.

In August, a large group of more than 75 state team members, 10 Missouri National Guardsmen, and 50 federal and local partners began working together to develop Missouri’s COVID-19 vaccine response plan. The plan was finalized and submitted to the CDC in October.

“Missouri got a very early start preparing for vaccinations because we think it’s our best path to getting to a better place,” DHSS Director Dr. Randall Williams said. “This process is one that has continued to evolve, and we are committed to providing Missourians with the information they need as quickly as we can provide it. Information is empowering, and personal choices made during this public health emergency can positively impact yourself, those around you, and your entire community.”

Gallatin Invitational Tournament

The only certainty during COVID: change

FFA class offers poinsettias for sale

The Gallatin FFA greenhouse class has been working hard this fall growing a variety of plants. The focus in recent weeks has been finishing the nearly 200 Poinsettia plants in the greenhouse. These poinsettias were started from rooted cuttings in August and are ready for sale starting this week. Students have designed poinsettia flyers and are working hard to get the plants sold to the public. Shown are Monique Nyland, Levi Thompson, Tyler Tustison, and Travis Curtis. Contact the school or any of these students for more details. [Submitted photo]

R-5 board reviews mask guidelines The Gallatin School Board discussed Governor Parson’s updated reopening and operating guidance for school districts during their meeting held Nov. 18. The discussion was in regard to proper mask wearing, which may prevent individuals from being identified as close contacts.

In other business, Kristen Marble’s resignation as of Dec. 31 was accepted. Marble is a paraprofessional in the Covel D. Searcy Elementary School.

The snow removal bid from Will Salmon was approved (Bird abstained).

The CPSK Liability & Property Insurance renewal for 2021 was approved.

Reports were presented by Dr. Copple, Principal Burke, Principal Collins, Principal Thogmartin and Activities Director Barron Gann. Barbara Holcomb presented the FBLA

vocational report.

The next board meeting was set for 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 17.

The above are the unapproved minutes of the Gallatin Board of Education meeting held Nov. 18. Board members Jesse Bird, Tim Bradford, Pam Critten, Jeffrey Donovan, Trent Dowell, Amy Heldenbrand and Anita Riley were present.

Dr. Copple, Principals Collins, Thogmartin, and Board Secretary Corwin were in attendance.

Staff in attendance was Barbara Holcomb, Angel Michael, Jack Malo, Kelsey Peterson, Nicole Curtis, and Brittney Ghidoni.

The Gallatin Tournament was scheduled for Nov. 30 through Dec. 5, with major format changes … but the only certainty during COVID is that things are going to change.

Due to precautions being taken against the COVID-19 virus, all teams other than Gallatin are playing at sites away from Gallatin to limit fan exposure. The remaining tournament schedule and locations are listed below.

Games begin at 6 p.m., except for Saturday games which start at 1 p.m.

Pool A contains 4 teams — Gilman City, Maysville, Winston and Trenton. Pool B contains Gallatin, Polo and HardinCentral, with Braymer having dropped out.

On Monday, the schedule “evolved” when Pool A was reduced to Gallatin, Polo and Hardin Central, due to Braymer’s withdrawal. The result was byes for the three other Pool A teams with Gallatin receiving a bye on Tuesday, Polo on Thursday, and Hardin-Centralon Satur-

day. In addition, when Trenton was out of school on Monday, the scheduled Pool B Trentonvs.-Winston matches were held Tuesday at Trenton.

Gallatin did try to pick up a Tuesday game against MidBuchanan during tournament week but it could not be held because of the number of games allowed by MSHSAA per season outside tournament play.

GIT championship will be awarded to girls and boys in both pools with no overall winner determined.

Trenton, 18-13, in the middle 2 periods. Sheetz finished with 6 points behind Jordyn Inman, who led the Lady Redbirds with 8.

Winston 60, Trenton 28 (B) Trenton came in 2 starters short due to quarantine. A 10-0 Redbird run ended the first quarter with a 3-point buzzer beater by Brian Lewis. Jakub Hisel canned a trey in front of his team’s bench to beat the third quarter horn. Hisel finished with a game-high 20 points. Jacob Uthe added 15 points for Winston, now 2-0 on the season.

Pool B Monday Maysville 57, Gilman City 45 (G) Maysville 88, Gilman City 74 (B) Pool B Tuesday Trenton 34, Winston 27 (G) Trenton extended its early lead to 21-9 at the break but Winston cut its deficit in half late in the third quarter.
