While business development has been mostly dormant since its inception in the mid1990s, the Gallatin Area Business Park has been buzzing with construction activities this fall and as 2020 comes to a close.

These photos, taken last week before yesterday’s snowfall, offer evidence of a fresh start and brighter business outlook for Gallatin for the new year about to commence.

Funds for the more than $750,000 have been secured for a 10,000-sq.ft. Access II community building (top photo). The non-profit organization broke ground in June with framework erected in December. Rain and pandemic concerns have pushed completion of the building to the summer of 2021.

The building will serve as a community fitness center and a community room open to everyone. The design of the facility and the equipment inside will allow for people with, and those without disabilities, to work toward their fitness and rehabilitation goals. This will be the only public fitness center of its kind in the area where a person who uses a wheelchair or assistive device will have access to this type of equipment.

Access II ILC is a not for profit organization that provides disabilities services to eight counties in Northwest Missouri. Access II relocated into the brick building in the business park, which formerly housed 2B Enterprises and Pre-

mium Standard Farms offices, in 2007. Access II previously operated offices at 611 West Johnson Street in Gallatin, beginning in 2002.

Dominating the skyline of the business park are the facilities of McBee Farm and Cattle Company. Improvements have been steady and gradual this year with entrance fencing and landscaping among the most recent improvements. The main office is shown in the center photo, flanked by the rows of grain bins at right.

B&S Equipment erected a new wood-framed building (bottom) on its premises on the west side of the business park fronting Highway 6.

Facilities will be used for equipment repair, maintenance and custom power washing. Dirtwork, grading and gravel has been worked so as to display farm and other equipment for sale or during auctions conducted by Shay Esbeck.

B&S Equipment began relocation into the business park in 2019, moving from its location near the Grand River along Highway 6 southwest from Wabash Crossing Access.

Other business concerns in the park include a storage rental facility and an antique business, John & Margo’s Attic. Another business, Gallatin Hardwood, once employed 12 people from its facilities in the northeast portion of the park. This business operated a saw mill beginning in 2014, a division of Midwest Hardwood Corporation, based in Maple Grove, MN, but it closed here in 2016.

OPINION

Dec. 30, 2020

Patience pays Home construction at Lake Viking is booming. Building projects in Gallatin’s business park spark optimism. Fiber internet access soon to be available throughout Gallatin is another positive sign — all making business prospects brighter for 2021 here. Developments in Gallatin’s business park are most visible, although the journey has been slow.

The idea of a business park for Gallatin took shape due to unusual circumstances. During the 1990s investors in large hog confinement operations looked to build new farms in North Missouri.

Against some opposition, Continental Grain Company weathered legal challenges and selected farm sites in Daviess, Gentry and Sullivan counties.

The Gallatin Area Business Park was built with the location of Continental’s corporate offices in Missouri in mind. Farmers Electric Cooperative played a key role in making the park reality, hoping to attract major electricity users that they could serve. State funding and Highway 6 access was secured primarily through the leadership of the late Phil Tate serving in the Missouri House of Representatives at that time. Gallatin’s future appeared brighter when Continental Grain built a brick office building, the first anything erected in the park, near the park’s entrance.

by Darryl Wilkinson Plans change. Continental Grain sold to Premium Standard Farms which operated from offices near an even larger investment in a meat packing plant at Princeton (hog farms are now owned by Smithfield). The office facility in Gallatin went vacant even as all lots throughout the business park were purchased. Big plans involving some lot purchases proved hollow.

For instance, a public announcement to construct a large facility for Wideband never happened. The only construction in the park involved a building to house a plant nursery and landscape business and later storage rental units – both welcomed developments but not exactly providing new jobs as originally intended.

The brief operation of Gallatin Hardwood in the business park beginning in 2014 was noteworthy not only for the dozen jobs created but for the purchase and use of perhaps the poorest building lot in the park. Creeks cutting through their lot with gravel road entry, however, fit the purposes of the log sawing mill. Overall, however, the economy of the times dictated otherwise.

Our business park was located on the north side of town not because of the highway but due to the old railroad bed. When Gallatin needed a new sewer line to serve its west end, the unlikely path selected was the old railroad bed which proved to be an asset for gravity flow advantage. A business park wasn’t envisioned. But with the cooperative bringing electricity, other utility services were within reach with Highway 6 frontage. The table for growth was set.

Slow growth requires patience. For many years neighboring farmers lamented the waste of good hay ground sitting idle. The bypass lane on Highway 6 at the park’s entrance seemed an unnecessary waste of money by cynics. In recent years most traffic into the business park only involved Access II employees and patrons to and from the park’s first facility. That will change with the completion of the Access II Community Building and the truck traffic to the McBee Farm operation and from huge crowds attending B&S Equipment auctions.

Good news sometimes develops so slowly it can be easily overlooked. But to the optimistic who are patient, good news can be celebrated — not only for 2021 but for the opportunities that exist for each new year to come.

Off the Editor’s Spike...

May you find what you’re looking for

by Congressman Sam Graves

After what has been an incredibly difficult year, we enter a season that is supposed to be marked by joy, peace, hope, and love.

Unfortunately, the pandemic continues to wreak havoc on our health, our schedules, and our lives. The 24-hour news cycle and our social media feeds seem to easily consume us, driving our attention away from what’s really important this, and every Christmas.

So how do we manage to pull joy, peace, hope and love out of a year that has drawn out the opposite? While there are rays of hope, it can be easy to throw up our hands and say all is lost. All is not lost.

I’ll admit, it’s an odd year to say, “be joyful.” It can be done, though. It could be a reunion with family members we haven’t seen for a while, the health of those around us, or the anticipation of a new grandchild. While it might take searching for the little things this year, I’m confident that those little things may be most important after all.

No matter what your celebration looks like this year, it is my hope that you take time to unplug, turn off the TV, put down the phone, and press forward with a focus on what is important

in life. May we find a little peace in turning down the noise.

In the midst of it, don’t forget that there are those who don’t get the option of taking a break.

Our healthcare workers, first responders, and millions of others know what it’s like to work on holidays. This year will be even more difficult. Don’t forget them as you celebrate. If anyone’s dai-

ly work has been marked by love this year, it’s them.

As different as our celebrations might be this time around, as difficult as the last eight months might have been, there is hope on the horizon through the work that our doctors, scientists and others have done to make a path forward and get things back on track.

New Year, new possibilities

by State Sen. Dan Hegeman

The end of the year offers us the opportunity to reflect on the events of the past 12 months and how they have affected our lives. At the same time, we can look forward to a new year full of new hopes and ambitions. As we make our New Year’s resolutions, we affirm our belief we can make our lives and the world around us better through selfimprovement and community involvement. The holidays and new year remind us of the qualities that are so important to us all — those of faith, humility and goodwill to our neighbors.

The year 2020 will long be remembered as the year of struggle. As life was progressing well for so many people, all of the sudden, we were hit with a pandemic. There will always be pictures and video of Americans wearing

masks, images of tired nurses in overcrowded hospitals attending to a large number of people stricken with a virus we still do not fully understand. The history books will paint the picture for future generations to learn.

Before then, we will always remember the year that brought us together in ways we had not known before.

Before we turn the page on 2020, take this opportunity to consider your priorities for the upcoming year. Whether you would like to eat healthier, exercise more, spend more time with family or just complete a project that remains unfinished, now is the time to set resolutions for the future. Making concrete goals is a good way to encourage oneself to follow through. As the calendar advances, you can also move yourself forward.

During these COVID times: Teach your children well This column is inspired by a 1970 song by Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young for parents to “teach your children well.” I’ve been thinking about that song often as I’ve wondered how my relatives who were stuck at home during WW II dealt with restrictions similar to what we’re encountering with COVID-19. They tried to tell me, but I’ve forgotten so much.

That regret prompts this column to inspire you to open up with your youngby Phill er family members about the hardships Brooks you now are encountering just in case they later encounter something similar in their adult lives.

My relatives during WW II faced severe restrictions.

My mom was without her husband, Phillips Brooks, who was serving in the Army Air Corps. Although living with her parents, Jean Brooks, dealt with homeland restrictions and shortages. My wife’s aunt was without her husband, Uncle Joe Nolte, who served with Gen. George Patton during WW II. As a result, like my mom, Aunt Mary Nolte faced various wartime hardships, maybe similar to what we’re facing with COVID-19.

I so dearly wish I knew more about how they coped with that period and had talked with them in more detail about their experiences. I also wish I knew more about how my relatives helped friends and neighbors during that awful time.

Japanese friends of my grandparents were transported to an internment camp, Manzanar, in a California desert. My grandma maintained operation of their California nursery to prevent it from being sold off as happened with so many Japanese business owners.

Benefits of making New Year’s resolutions

Amy Heldenbrand, Board Certified Family Nurse Practitioner

CAMERON R EGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER Gallatin Family Medicine Clinic is owned and operated by Cameron Regional Medical Center and has been serving the area since 1998.

The end of December is a busy time of year. Families are shopping for gifts for loved ones and friends. Holiday celebrations are in full swing and thoughts begin to turn to the new year ahead.

At the stroke of midnight on New Year's Eve, it is customary to sip a glass of champagne and toast to the new year. Many people use the dawn of a new year as a time to create a list of resolutions that reflect positive changes they hope to make in the year ahead.

Between 40 and 45 percent of American adults make resolutions each year, according to the health and wellness group Proactive Mindfulness. According to John C. Norcross, Marci S. Mrykalo and Matthew D. Blagys, coauthors of the study "Auld Lang Syne: Success predictors, change processes, and self-reported outcomes of New Year's resolvers and nonresolvers," within six months of starting a

resolution 46 percent of people are still maintaining their resolutions.

Resolutions may seem silly to some, but there are several positive reasons to make them.

Resolutions provide practice setting goals. Goal-setting is an important component of life.

Goals are key because they provide general direction in life. A goal is a map that can give you an idea of where you are heading and what path you need to take to get there, according to the self-improvement guide Success Consciousness. Resolutions can be fun, low-pressure goals. Think of them as dress rehearsals for bigger life changes.

Resolutions offer time for reflection. Too often people are rushing through daily life without stopping or slowing down to truly assess the impact of their actions. Resolutions help you reflect on the past, present and future, figuring out what has been working and what may need to

be changed to provide a boost, according to the wellness resource Alternative Daily.

Resolutions can serve as a catalyst for positive change.

When something isn't working with your routine, personal health or relationships, resolutions can serve as the catalyst that ultimately rights the ship.

Resolutions can promote self-esteem and empowerment.

Making resolutions and keeping them can provide a sense of accomplishment that comes with goal-setting and following through. Resolving to lose five pounds and then seeing the proof on a scale can be a powerful motivator that compels you to make other self-improvements.

Accomplishing small goals also can boost self-esteem.

Resolutions are often made at the dawn of a new year. These efforts can provide the motivation and direction people need to make positive changes in their lives.

How to assess the risk for suicide or self-harm By: Abigail Newland, Prevention Specialist

Anyone can suffer from depression and feelings of hopelessness may not always be obvious, especially in children.

Young people, prone to the emotional swings of adolescence, may act out or become withdrawn. Pop culture has glorified suicide in some regard with television programs normalizing the behavior or showing suicide or self-harm as a solution. Bullying is a national epidemic and doesn’t stop when kids leave school.

Kids, who often don’t appreciate the consequences of their actions, are now prone to bully and be bullied every hour of the day through social media channels. Parents can help their kids become part of the solution when it comes to teen suicide or self-harm by giving them tools to handle difficult situations with peers. Teaching kids what to do when their friends talk about suicide, self-harm,

or ideation may save a life and is as important as ensuring their kids aren’t bullying others. Creating and maintaining clear, nonjudgmental channels of communication is the key to ensuring parents can best support their children. -Signs of Suicide Program Individuals who are suicidal can make people uncomfortable but stay confident when helping them! Help is help and here are some tips to get you started in the right direction!

First assess for risk of suicide or harm: The best way to find out if someone is considering suicide and determining the urgency of the situation is to ask them: Are you having thoughts of suicide? Do you have a plan to kill yourself? Have you decided when you’d do it? Do you have everything you need to carry out your plan? Keep in mind that some people believe that mentioning suicide might cause someone to consider suicide for the first time. This

is not true, so do not be afraid of this outcome. You’re much more likely to help someone feel less alone if they were considering it. If they have a plan and are ready to carry out that plan, call 911 immediately. How you respond to other answers will depend on the situation, but always call 911 if you’re unsure. It’s better to be safe than for someone to lose their life. Additionally, not having a plan doesn’t mean they’re not in danger. All thoughts of suicide must be treated seriously. If you think the person is in danger, you need to keep the person safe. Stay with them for as long as you can, because an actively suicidal person shouldn’t be left alone. If you can’t stay, find someone who can until help arrives. If you determine the person is having suicidal thoughts but there’s no immediate danger, engage in conversation with them if possible. You got this!

Depression 101; Everything you need to know It's normal to experience feelings of sadness and grief from time to time. But when these feelings are prolonged or interfere with daily life, they may be symptomatic of depression.

Depression can affect anyone regardless of age, gender, or economic status. The National Institute of Mental Health says around 350 million people worldwide suffer from depression. Understanding depression can help those dealing with the disorder.

What is depression?

Depression is a mood disorder that causes persistent feelings of sadness and loss of interest. The Mayo Clinic says depression can produce a variety of symptoms and affect the way a person thinks, acts and feels. Symptoms may include changes in sleeping patterns, anxiety, fatigue, weight gain or weight loss, unexplained aches and pains, and difficulty concentrating.

What causes depression?

Although the cause of depression remains a mystery, certain distinguishing factors are common among those who have the condition. People with clinical depression appear to have physical changes in their brains. In addition, naturally occurring brain chemicals known as neurotransmitters likely play a role in depression.

The Mayo Clinic states changes in the function and effect of these neurotransmitters and how they interact with neurocircuits involved in maintaining mood stability may play a significant role in depression

and its treatment.

In addition to biological factors in the brain, hormones can impact rates of depression or even trigger it. These hormone shifts may be a leading reason why women have higher incidence rates of depression than men. Depression is more common in people whose blood relatives also have the condition.

Therefore, those with a family history of depression may be more likely to get it than those without such a connection.

Dierent types of depression There are different types of depression. A person may have a single bout of major depression or recurring episodes.

Depression that lasts two or more years is called persistent depressive disorder. A less common type of depression is called manic-depressive illness. This involves cycles of depression that alternate with extreme highs, or manias.

Treating depression Depression is a very treatable condition. Psychotherapy (talk therapy), medications or a combination thereof can be very effective in managing symptoms. Mental health professionals can work with

individuals to find the right therapy based on symptoms and severity of the depression.

Also, it may take some time to find the right medication or treatment; therefore, people are urged to remain patient and hopeful.

The National Institute of Mental Health says people who suspect they may be suffering from depression should make an appointment to see a doctor or health care provider.

The sooner action is taken, the more quickly the condition can be addressed

We cannot become what we want by remaining what we are.

Chillicothe man pleads guilty to role in $142 million fraud scheme A Chillicothe man pleaded guilty in federal court on Dec. 21 to his role in a $142 million scheme to sell non-organic grain as though it was organic.

Steven N. Whiteside, 57, pleaded guilty before U.S. Magistrate Judge Jill A. Morris to a federal information that charges him with falsely signing documents related to the fraud scheme.

Randy Constant, also of Chillicothe, the leader of the fraud scheme, was sentenced on Aug. 16, 2019, to 10 years and two months in federal prison with-

out parole in a related case that was prosecuted in the Northern District of Iowa. John Burton of Clarksdale, Missouri, and three farmers from Nebraska, all of whom who supplied Constant with non-organic grain, were also sentenced to federal prison for their roles in a scheme to defraud customers across the United States.

Constant admitted the fraudulent scheme involved at least $142,433,475 in grain sales, and the vast majority of those sales were fraudulent. From 2010 to 2017, Constant misled custom-

ers into thinking they were buying certified organic grain when the grain he was selling was not organic. Constant admitted falsely telling customers the grain he sold was grown on his certified organic fields in Nebraska and Missouri when the grain was not organic either because he purchased the grain from other growers, the certified organic fields were sprayed with unauthorized chemicals, or organic grain was mixed with non-organic grain. As part of the plea, Constant also agreed to forfeit $128,190,128 in proceeds

from the fraudulent scheme.

Constant’s grain was mostly used as animal feed, primarily for chickens and cattle. That livestock was then sold as organic meat or products from the livestock were sold as organic products. Because of Constant’s fraud, most of the livestock that was fed his grain was not organic, causing thousands of consumers to purchase what they thought was organic meat for a premium price across the country.

By pleading guilty, Whiteside admitted that he signed a document on May 30, 2015, falsely claiming that he owned or farmed certain parcels of land when he actually had no affiliation or control of the property.

Whiteside falsely attested in a Land Use History Verification that no chemicals had been used on the property in the preceding three years. The Land Use History Verification is a form used in conjunction with an application to have land certified as organic as part of the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Organic Program. In order for grain to

be certified as organic, the grain must have been grown through approved methods and without the use of certain substances, including synthetic chemicals, and produced and handled in compliance with the program.

At the same time Whiteside signed the document, it was cosigned by Constant, who was identified on the document as the applicant seeking the certification for the land. In addition to being the identified applicant, Constant also purchased nonorganic grain from Whiteside and employed Whiteside as part of Constant’s fish farm operation.

More information about the case in the Northern District of Iowa is available at: https:// www.justice.gov/usao-ndia/pr/ field-schemes-fraud-resultsover-decade-federal-prisonleader-largest-organic-fraud This case is being prosecuted

by Special Assistant U.S. Attorney Bradley Cooper. It was investigated by the FBI and the U.S. Department of Agriculture – Office of Inspector General.

Mortgage paid for deceased sheriff Tunnel to Towers Foundation has paid off the mortgage on the home of Sheriff Andy Clark during its 2020 Season of Hope. DeKalb County Sheriff Andy Clark was killed in a crash on June 3, 2020, while rushing to assist a deputy in an emergency situation in Osborn.

Sheriff Clark had served in law enforcement for 22 years with the DeKalb County Sheriff’s Office and the Cameron Police Department. He left behind his wife Jodi, and their four children: Brianna, Brooklyn, Alexavier, and Chloe.

The mission of the Tunnel to Towers Foundation is to honor the sacrifice of firefighter Stephen Siller who laid down his life to save others on September 11, 2001. The foundation also honors our military and first responders who continue to make the supreme sacrifice of life and limb for our country.

Sheriff Clark with his wife, Jodi and their families through the end of December.

“Andy and I planned to raise our children here, enjoy our grandchildren and spend our golden years right here in this home that he built for us with his own two hands. Now with the help of the Tunnel to Towers Foundation I don’t have to sell it or worry about anyone taking it away from us. I can continue to raise our children right here in the only home they’ve ever known. Words can’t express how grateful and thankful I am for this wonderful foundation.

Thank you and God bless you.”

Jodi Clark
